Chapter 460 North and South
As the tree stick slowly moved towards the green snake wrapped around the branch, Leonardo's steps slowly moved backwards.
The closer he got, the more he retreated, as if the stick was coming towards him.
Bifang noticed this and looked at him in surprise. Leonardo smiled bitterly: "I always feel that this place is not safe at all."
【Laugh to death】
[I would run too]
[Looks scary]
[It seems that the snake has already discovered Lao Fang and is staring at this side]
Hearing Leonardo's concerns, Bifang explained seriously: "Then you'd better retreat a little more. The bamboo green snake is very fast and can even jump in the forest."
Being used to being alone, Bifang didn't really realize that he should let Leonardo step back first.
Leonardo has never been as obedient as he is today. Even his mother's scolding at school did not make him as well-behaved as he is now. He quickly retreated ten meters away.
Without hesitation, Bifang approached the Bamboo Green Snake again: "The Bamboo Green Snake is a strong tree dweller, often hanging or entangled on branches, and is very flexible, so if you don't have enough experience, even if you are trapped in the wild, try not to catch it to satisfy your hunger. If you want to catch it, first you must protect it well, and secondly, use a longer stick to knock it to the ground."
"When catching a venomous snake, you should try to avoid removing its limbs. When the snake falls to the ground, hold down its head with a stick. The snake has a big head and a thin neck, as do most venomous snakes. Once you hold down their heads, it will be difficult for them to break free. Of course, snakes have well-developed muscles, so you need to have a certain amount of strength to do this."
"If you are really hungry and can't survive without eating, and have to take the risk of catching one, but you have no experience in dealing with poisonous snakes, you can try to hit it with stones from a distance..."
As he spoke, Bifang had already approached within two meters of Zhuyeqing, and the stick in his hand was less than half a meter away.
Two small drones hovered silently in front and behind the bamboo green snake, and the audience could clearly see the green snake's body shrinking through the gaps between the leaves.
Bamboo Leaf Green Pit is nervous!
The Bamboo Leaf Green Snake has good vision and especially likes moving objects, so the Bifang's movements are not fast, but after all, it is impossible for it not to notice such a large ball of heat approaching.
Under the extreme camera, the body of the bamboo pit viper was curled up, and the scales on the bends were all open, like a spring compressed to the extreme, and no one knew when it would suddenly pop out.
The two sides are like ferocious beasts confronting each other, and no one knows who will strike first.
The biggest difference between humans and animals is that Bifang is able to skillfully summarize experience and conduct analysis and targeted treatment, while animals act entirely on instinct.
Just when Zhuyeqing curled up its body to the extreme and was about to launch an attack, Bifang made a move!
The tree stick chopped straight down at the poisonous snake from top to bottom. The violent movement of the heat source made the bamboo green snake react like a stress response, but it was too late after all. The moment it stuck out its head, the tree stick that broke through the wind hit it straight and powerfully!
The branches were broken, and the slender green figures were chopped off by the sticks like ribbons, floating head and tail into the sky.
At this moment, no one knew what the Green Snake was feeling, perhaps pain or confusion. When the green snake fell to the ground, the audience clearly saw it twisting its body in pain, with all the scales on its body open, just like those of its kind that were parasitized by insects.
Human strength is already enormous, and coupled with the whip effect of the stick in Bifang's hand, the snake was almost broken into two pieces.
After knocking down the bamboo green snake, Bifang quickly pressed the stick on the snake's body, then rolled forward to the snake's neck and then pressed it down tightly: "The snake's neck is too small and it is difficult to aim at it when it is struggling violently. We must first hold down the snake's body, then turn the stick in our hands and move it to the snake's neck."
The muscles on Bifang's arms bulged slightly, twisted together like iron chains, revealing lines that symbolized strength, pressing the snake firmly under the stick.
Snake necks are extremely fragile. Under such tremendous pressure, the snake's body moved around like crazy, but it couldn't break free from the restraints at all.
Snakes have big heads because their head bones are large. If they want to break free, they have to crush their skulls. But if they try to swim forward, they will be unable to exert any strength because their necks are pressed down.
Leonardo, who was behind, was no longer afraid when he saw the bamboo green snake being subdued. He came forward excitedly and watched Bifang holding a tree stick, stepping on the other end of the stick with one foot, and then stepping on both ends with both feet.
The weight of an entire adult was pressing down on it. Almost at the moment of stepping on it, Leonardo seemed to hear the sound of bones breaking, and then the twisting of the bamboo leaf green snake slowed down.
Soon, even the twisting stopped, and it only twitched occasionally.
"I've said before that snake heads can bite people an hour or even several hours after death, so we have to cut off the snake's head first, don't touch it, and throw it away directly."
Bifang stood on the tree stick. Even though the snake didn't move, he didn't let his guard down. He took out a piece of sharp rock from his funnel bag and pressed it hard on the snake's neck.
Bright red snake blood splashed out, splashing Leonardo's face. The hideous triangular snake head rolled to the side, opening and closing its hideous snake mouth unconsciously.
Leonardo, who was watching the fun, was confused. He subconsciously licked the warm blood at the corner of his mouth. A fishy smell rushed straight to his brain. He immediately leaned on the ground and retched: "This, this can't be poisonous, right?"
Bifang laughed: "Don't worry, snake venom is a substance mysteriously prepared by nature. It is actually protein in nature. It will deteriorate and lose its toxicity when exposed to the air. As long as there is no wound, it is similar to oral ulcers or gastritis, so there is no problem."
"Besides , there is no poison in snake blood. Many snakes will be poisoned to death by themselves, such as the fish-eating pit viper and the Egyptian cobra. If their blood was poisonous, they would not be able to survive."
Leonardo breathed a sigh of relief after hearing Bifang's explanation.
"But..." Bifang changed the subject and used a stone knife to pick open the snake's head. "There are many parasites on snakes. Snake blood and snake gall contain a variety of deadly parasites, such as Sparganum mansoni and Ligulalepis. The parasites will parasitize the brain, internal organs, eyes, chest cavity, spinal cord, skin, and respiratory system. They will form honeycomb-like cysts in your body. Oh, don't you know about cysts? It's like a honeycomb in the body, a tumor full of holes. Have you seen a cow's stomach? It's similar to that, but they are all hollow holes, and there is no drug to treat it. The only way to remove the worms is through surgery. People who drink snake blood raw are different from those who eat frogs. Those who eat frogs are generally infected with a few parasites, and surgical treatment can be achieved, but those who drink snake blood raw are infected with hundreds of parasites, and it is difficult to eradicate them through surgery."
"Ugh!" Leonardo covered his neck, his eyes were bloodshot and saliva kept flowing out of his mouth. He stared at Bifang, his eyes full of pain, and kept drinking water to rinse his mouth.
So disgusting!
Not only Leonardo, but also the audience almost vomited after hearing it.
[Fuck, this is too disgusting! ]
[Oh my god, why didn’t Lao Fang say this last time? ]
[I'm eating, eating! ]
I am dead
[Fuck your mother, give me back my money]
In the first venue, many people were drinking water, and they subconsciously retched after hearing these words.
Bifang patted Leonardo on the back and said, "Don't be scared. It was just a joke."
Leonardo was stunned for a moment, but he finally came to his senses and said with hope: "Are all the things you said false?"
Bifang shook his head: "I never tell lies."
“…”
After a pause, Bifang seemed to think that he had gone too far, and added: "The infection rate is extremely high if you eat snake gall bladder raw, but the probability of infection after drinking snake blood raw is only 0.1%, and you just vomited for so long and rinsed your mouth, so don't worry, don't worry!"
“Ugh~~”
…
In the jungle, Bifang and Leonardo continued on their journey. The difference was that Bifang was still optimistic, while Leonardo looked much worse and pale.
Even though Bifang assured him that nothing would happen, he couldn't help but imagine the scene and continued to dry heave.
Leonardo regretted his decision to follow, and even more regretted why he went over to watch. Now when he heard the word snake, he wanted to vomit reflexively.
He didn't touch the Green Bamboo Leaf Snake at all during the whole process. Seeing Bifang catch its prey, he would not have wanted to get close if it weren't for the fact that the rainforest was too dangerous.
Bifang introduced calmly, "Animals like these that catch frogs, tadpoles, lizards, birds and small mammals all have one characteristic, which is that they like to feed near streams, because streams are where small animals are most densely populated. They will dig holes and gather there directly, but large animals will not do this. In fact, we had already heard the sound of flowing water before we met the bamboo green snake."
In the deep forest, Bifang walked around the big trees and approached the direction where the sound of flowing water came from.
The audience could clearly hear the sound of the water flowing louder and louder.
Leonardo looked at Bifang's back, then looked at the surroundings which seemed to be exactly the same as before, and suddenly thought of a question: "Don't you know the direction?"
Yes.
The audience was also stunned. The process was wrong!
In the past, Bifang should first determine the direction, then make weapons to protect itself, and then look for water sources and obtain prey.
Why don't you look at the direction?
[Stupid, Lao Fang is not trying to escape, he is just going to live in the rain forest for 21 days. Is the direction important? ]
[Ah, I remember now]
[Forget this]
[But what if I really get lost? It’s hard to see the sun here, and climbing trees is dangerous. If I encounter a snake in a tree like Lao Fang, I don’t have the ability to escape, so I’m doomed.]
[I simply can’t climb a tree! ]
"If we are really lost, there are still many ways to find our way even if we can't see the sun." Bifang looked around and walked for a while. Finally, the two stopped beside a dark puddle.
There are monotonous woods all around. Not to mention ordinary people, even experienced old hunters may get lost. If there is no compass, it is really difficult to determine the direction.
"Can we look at the tree rings?" Leonardo made a suggestion, which he had seen in a storybook when he was a child.
Unexpectedly, Bifang shook his head and said, "This can only be regarded as a scientific phenomenon, which can be used to increase knowledge, but in practical application, it may be very poor. If you want to see tree rings, the first question is how to find them."
"Aren't there trees all over this place?" Leonardo pointed at the trees around him, not quite believing it.
It’s easy to see the growth rings. Just cut down any tree.
"Do you have to cut down a tree to determine the direction every time you walk a certain distance? Although it is okay to do so if you are really lost, the cost is too high. It requires a lot of physical strength and time, and you have to cut down a tree that is thick enough to ensure that you can see clearly." Bifang said bluntly.
"If you want to find a naturally broken tree, you may be even more disappointed, unless it is an economic forest farm. In the real wild, 99% of those broken trees are rotten and broken. There is no complete cross-section at all, and the heart of the tree is basically black, let alone looking at the annual rings."
Leonardo's tree ring suggestion was ruthlessly passed over, which made him a little depressed.
He discovered that he knew nothing about the wilderness.
Without a compass or sunlight, I have no way of knowing the direction.
As if seeing Leonardo's thoughts, Bifang smiled and said, "In fact, it is a good idea to let plants indicate the direction. Plants generally have the characteristic of growing towards sunlight."
"So the flowers and most of the leaves of the plant grow abundantly on the sunny side, which faces south in the Northern Hemisphere and north in the Southern Hemisphere."
"Also, the moss growing on the tree trunk will be greener and more abundant on the side facing the sun, while the opposite side may turn yellow or brown."
“Trees with branches will also have denser branches and leaves on the south side of the trunk.”
Bifang kicked the moss on a big tree nearby. Leonardo squinted his eyes and looked back and forth, and found that there seemed to be a difference in color?
One side is noticeably greener, while the other is a light shade of yellow.
But if you look at the abundance of leaves, it is difficult to tell. Leonardo feels that they are all the same no matter how he looks at them. He was confused and said, "Ordinary people can only see the color of moss. What if they are color blind?"
Bifang rolled his eyes: "You are really good at looking for trouble, bring your watch over here!"
Leonardo was stunned, but he still took off his watch obediently: "You want to use the sun and the hands of the watch to determine the direction? I know this, but we can't see the sun."
He pointed upwards and the camera showed.
The dense leaves blocked the entire sky, and it was impossible to see where the sun was.
"How can the sun be such an inconvenient thing!" Bifang flipped through his watch. He didn't understand watches, nor did he know the value of this watch. He asked, "Can I take it apart?"
"Feel free to take it apart. I just use it to tell time." Leonardo waved his hand. He was going to the jungle, so how could he bring a watch that was particularly valuable and meaningful? It would be a loss if it got bumped.
After getting permission, Bifang did not hesitate to look at the watch cover and found that it was indeed a cheap product. He directly pried open the cover with his fingernails, poured out all the internal parts, and then found the longest second hand in the palm of his hand.
Stuffing the remaining parts into Leonardo's hands, Bifang rubbed the second hand directly on his hair, and at the same time tore off a leaf, knelt beside the black puddle, then placed the second hand on the leaf and put it into the puddle.
The leaves fell into the water, creating ripples, and finally, under the gaze of millions of people, they slowly circled and stopped at a certain angle.
Bifang looked around and pointed to the direction of the long needle and said, "This is the north and south."
