Chapter 562 Breaking Bad
"Hey, hey, hey, see it, it's here."
Bifang squatted down, but did not approach rashly. Instead, he used the old actor's stick in his hand to point to a patch of grass not far away. Because it was close to the stream, the grass grew very lush and was all taller than the knees. If you didn't look carefully, you really couldn't find it.
"The color of this guy varies greatly depending on the region. Generally speaking, the tiger-striped colubrid snake distributed in the south is light green, grass green, and it is difficult to distinguish it in the grass. The tiger-striped colubrid snake distributed in the north is darker in color and has more black spots."
Many viewers were a little scared. If they didn't notice it and kicked it, wouldn't it be crippled?
[Damn, so hidden? ]
[So bright]
The tiger-necked snake in the grass is also green all over with black spots. It hides next to the lush water plants and cannot be seen at a glance, but its neck is a bright orange-red, which is very gorgeous and adds a sense of danger.
At the moment, this highly venomous snake has not discovered Bifang yet and is lying motionless in the grass.
Bifang lowered his voice and said, "Although it is not the most deadly snake, the strength of the tiger-striped neck snake should not be underestimated. It has a record of killing people in China and Japan."
[The tiger-striped snake is the most venomous snake with the lowest fatality rate. How can it be the most deadly? 】
[Just entered the live broadcast room? Didn’t I say before that because its fangs are not very effective, whether the injection can be successful depends on the probability]
[You don't dare to bet, this thing is very poisonous. If you get bit, you can't be sure whether it is a dry bite or a little poison. So stay away from it if you see it]
[Some people say it’s slightly poisonous [smile] When I was a child, a neighbor had his leg bitten off and the flesh was rotten. It was so scary]
[If you encounter a tiger-striped or red-necked trough, I advise you to run away. Its serum has no commercial value and is not on the shelves. This means that if you are bitten by it and are poisoned by it, there is no serum to use (dog head)]
"The venom delivery efficiency of the tiger-striped neck snake is very poor. The venom is injected through the back molars, which is more difficult. Sometimes the bite does not cause symptoms, so it is easy be mistaken for a non-venomous snake."
"This snake was generally recognized as a slightly venomous snake a few years ago. It was only in recent years that research confirmed it to be a highly venomous snake. However, most people would definitely avoid it if they see it."
Many viewers nodded, many of them had seen it in the countryside.
Unfortunately, I didn’t know it was a highly poisonous snake at that time. Now I suddenly realized it after listening to Bifang’s explanation.
It's not non-toxic, it's highly toxic, but it can't be injected.
This powerful weapon is wasted.
Bifang observed his surroundings and slowly approached the tiger-striped water snake. Before he could make a move, his eyes suddenly lit up. He stopped and pointed his stick to the other side of the stream: "Hey, look over there, there's one over there too!"
Following the tree stick, the drone quickly approached the other side, revealing a bright orange color again.
ha!
Second tabby neck groove!
Okay, both are OK!
Not only that, Bifang pointed to a small clump of grass on the other side of the river and said, "What luck! It's all here. The water hemlock is also here."
Water hemlock sways slowly by the stream. At first glance, it looks similar to a dandelion, with a long stem and a bunch of small white flowers, but it's flatter.
"Water hemlock is toxic to a variety of livestock and humans, and the symptoms are similar. The toxin acts directly on the central nervous system, causing severe convulsions, respiratory failure and death. The tuber dose of 0.2-0.5% of body weight for sheep, 0.1% for cattle and 0.5% for horses can be lethal."
[Wait, a cow weighs several hundred kilograms, so one thousandth is not a small amount, right? ]
[One jin is 500 grams, you want 50 grams? ]
[An egg is 50 grams? Stick an egg on the arrow? ]
"Yes, although it is only one in a thousand, it is still a lot, so I prefer biological toxins. However, paralysis is still enough, and plant poisons have a characteristic, which is that they can be refined."
"Animal venom is very strong, but it is often made of protein, which is synthesized in the body. It will denature when exposed to heat, so it is fine to eat it. However, most plant poisons are molecules, not proteins. It is not easy to change their chemical properties when exposed to heat, so they can be extracted."
Bifang explained as he moved closer to the tiger-striped water snake.
Snakes are actually not difficult to catch, especially for veterans. In the eyes of experienced people, snakes are as delicious as spicy strips.
Most snakes are even afraid of humans. When Bifang encounters one, the first thing he worries about is whether it will run away rather than being bitten.
Bifang, an expert snake catcher, caught one of the snakes very easily. Unfortunately, the other one seemed to have sensed the danger and quickly disappeared into the grass before Bifang could get to it.
Bifang shrugged, not caring: "It looks like it could be a male and a female. The breeding season for tiger-striped collared troughs is in May and June, so it's a bit late now."
The tiger-striped neck with its throat strangled was wrapped around Bifang's forearm, and the tip of its tail kept trembling, as if venting its dissatisfaction, but this could not change the reality.
Bifang bent forward and held the stick in his hand: "If I want to get the venom of a poisonous snake, it's best to catch it alive, or dead, but it won't work for tiger-striped colubrids."
"First, this creature is not rare. It is one of the most numerous and widely distributed snakes in China, second only to the pit viper. Second, as I said before, it has no venom glands, so it is difficult to squeeze out venom directly."
[Giraffe: Are you polite? ]
Thank you.
[Hahaha, what Lao Fang said is so funny]
[Boss Fang: Because we already have a sphynx, for now... Oh, I'm sorry, I still want your life]
"There is no duct connecting the venom glands of tiger-striped colubrids to their fangs, but you can see that there is a protruding neck gland on the back of the snake's neck, where the venom is stored."
The Bifang tiger-striped water snake was resting on the stone, and the back of the dagger was used to hold down the snake's head firmly. The snake's body twisted more violently, and following the finger, the audience could clearly see that there was indeed a bulge on the snake's neck.
It's just not noticeable, you can only see it when you're struggling.
After determining the target, Bifang directly cut off the snake's head and cut open the neck line bit by bit.
"The venom sacs of venomous snakes are relatively fragile, so you have to be careful when cutting them. Don't cut your hands, or else the venom will enter your blood and cause trouble."
Although the snake's head was cut off, the snake's body was still jumping due to nerve reflex, which added some difficulty to Bifang's work.
But it was not a problem. After cutting the snake skin and muscle layer, a thin white membrane appeared. Bifang stretched out his finger covered with snake blood and hooked it out. He carefully pulled it back and finally pulled out a small sac.
Bifang showed surprise on his face: "Look, this is the poison sac. It is quite tough. I used to throw it away directly. This is the first time I have to use it."
The poison sac is not a small sac in the conventional sense, but is rather flat and long, and looks...
[Why does it feel like a shrunken set (dog head)]
【Plus one】
Bifang was stunned and was speechless for a moment.
He looked at the white poison sac in his hand, and suddenly felt a chill, and coughed twice: "Ahem, it's all psychological, don't think too much, we are a civilized live broadcast room."
Interrupting the audience's associations, Bifang cut the poison sac in his hand into a knot and put it directly into the kettle, then ran to the other side of the stream to collect water hemlock.
When they got closer, they found that this thing looked like a dandelion , but looked more like water celery when they looked closer, almost exactly the same!
[Isn’t this water celery? ]
[Oh shit, I eat this so often, am I going to die, wuwuwu]
【You can comment here, which means everything is fine...】
Bifang said: "Water celery and water hemlock are indeed very similar, even the names are similar, but the difference is that the stems of water hemlock have a layer of fine white hairs, which look furry and feel prickly, while the stems of water celery have no hairs and are very smooth. This is also the most obvious difference between water celery and water hemlock."
If you touch the stem of water hemlock, you will see the tiny thorns piled up, making them more noticeable.
"During this season, many wild vegetables grow, and there are many cases of poisoning due to accidental ingestion." Bifang crushed the thorns on his hand.
"Last year in Guangdong, an accident occurred during a training activity organized by Zhang Chunliang, the captain of the search and rescue squadron of the Qianzhen Mountain Rescue Team. Three team members suffered food poisoning from eating wild vegetables by mistake. Zhang Chunliang, the captain, died, and the other two team members were fine after being examined and treated in the hospital after coming down the mountain."
"This is not just any ordinary hiker, but the captain of the search and rescue team. He has encountered many complicated outdoor sports accidents and is one of the main founders of the Qianzhen Mountain Rescue Team. He can be said to be an experienced old hiker, but he was also hit."
"It is said that Zhang Chunliang's original intention in calling for this training activity was to improve the survival ability of the rescue team members in the wild. According to the investigation results of the local police, Zhang Chunliang died after accidentally ingesting water hemlock."
"At that time, Zhang Chunliang rescued two other poisoned team members even after he himself showed signs of poisoning, which accelerated the onset of poisoning and missed the best time for rescue."
hiss.
The audience gasped.
Even the captain of the rescue team could be infected, how similar are they?
[The result of trying to survive in the wild is... indescribably weird...]
[You are already doing your duty by rescuing people even though you are poisoned]
【Rest in peace】
[This kind of thing should be led by Lao Fang (dog head)]
"Wild vegetables have different characteristics in different regions. Before eating the collected wild vegetables, you should do a lot of research based on the actual conditions of the area and be sure to consult local people with rich experience."
Large amounts of water hemlock were uprooted.
Although it looks like only a small piece of a few square meters, mixed with many other weeds, at least several kilograms can be collected.
After collecting a bundle, Bi Fang began to refine it.
"It's not difficult to extract water hemlock. If you find it troublesome, you can just pick a section and apply the juice on your weapon. The whole plant of water hemlock is poisonous, so you can use it anywhere. The flowers are the most toxic, but I recommend the tubers and stems. There is more juice here, so it's easier to apply."
"If you don't mind the trouble, you can collect more, then mash it all, add water, and start boiling directly. Take out the waste and keep steaming it until crystals precipitate."
After collecting a small patch of water hemlock nearby, Bifang set up the distillation tools directly by the river.
It’s very simple, just a plastic bottle and a fire, and it can also solve the lunch problem.
Thread the snake meat on a branch, Bifang finds a large flat stone, puts some of the collected water hemlock on it, then grinds it with the stone, stuffs the ground meat into a split mineral water bottle, pours a spoonful of stream water into it, and starts heating it.
"The melting point of most mineral water bottles is higher than the boiling point of water, so there is no need to worry about the bottle melting."
After the stream water boils, Bifang removes the dregs and then adds another portion of water hemlock.
"Be careful, the water is already poisonous at this time! Don't drink it as pure water! If you have wounds on your body, don't touch this water!"
Bifang's words were harsh, and this was no joke.
"It can paralyze the motor nerves and inhibit the medullary center. The poisoning dose for humans is 30 to 60 mg, and the lethal dose is 120 to 150 mg. It can kill a person within minutes."
"Heating can reduce some of the toxicity, but it is very limited, and the loss is within the acceptable range of our distillation."
At the moment it is equivalent to concentrating a part of it, but there will be losses in the process of concentrating the toxicity. However, compared with the whole, the toxicity is still stronger, so you must be extra careful.
This is the biggest difference between plant toxins and animal toxins. It is not easy for proteins to denature and become inactive when exposed to high temperatures.
By the time everything was refined, Bifang had finished his lunch.
Now he has two major toxins, concentrated toxin and the venom of the tiger-striped water snake, both of which are highly toxic!
At the same time, two wooden darts were made.
"The venom on a flint spear is limited. We can choose a wooden one and cut some small grooves on the tip. Although it is not as sharp and hard as flint, it can retain more venom and become a poison spear!"
Poison spears are different from flints. They don’t pursue lethality. As long as they can break the skin, they are successful!
The tens of millions of viewers in the live broadcast room were excited that it was finally completed.
[Congratulations to Fang Shen for unlocking the achievement: Breaking Bad]
[Awesome, really awesome, go kill people quickly]
[It feels like the blowgun made by Indians using poison dart frogs]
[Shocked, millions of people watched the drug manufacturing scene, is this a distortion of human nature or a loss of morality? ]
[i Witness presents the anchor's spaceship*1. ——Come on, hurry up and take the first place]
Holding a sharp knife, he began to kill.
Bifang was eager to try and tried his best to search for the black bear.
2:38 pm.
A brown shadow appeared in front of everyone, it was so huge that the netizens were startled.
[Oh my god, what a big black bear]
[This thing is at least two meters long, right? ]
[Who is the first place now? How many points? ]
[The ghost hunter named Sato killed a 1.2-meter-tall one last night. It just reached adulthood. 19.7 points! ]
[Can a black bear grow this big? ]
The huge body was moving on the ground, as if digging something. The big bear did not seem to notice the approaching Bifang, but when it raised its head, the fans were surprised to find that there were no white stripes on the chest of the big bear.
"The body colors of brown bears and black bears are generally not very different. Not all brown bears are brown. The way to distinguish between the two is not to look at the fur color, but to pay attention to whether there is a white crescent pattern on the chest."
The words Bifang had said before echoed in their ears, and the netizens suddenly discovered.
This is not a black bear at all.
It was a brown bear!
