Chapter 675 Victory or Defeat
Hunting is a job that requires patience.
Bifang lay in the snow waiting for an opportunity the entire afternoon, but the goddess of luck was not on his side and there were no good opportunities.
Bifang was not discouraged by this. Compared with the final harvest, waiting for a few days was completely worth it.
Hunting large animals is the type of business where you don’t open for half a year, and then eat for half a year after you open.
The audience seemed a little impatient. Almost two days had passed since the musk ox was discovered, but there was still no gain. On the contrary, not only was there no income, but there were three more big eaters. It was a complete loss-making business.
It is very worrying that we may fall into a vicious cycle again.
This lack of resources is unacceptable to the Squirrel Party.
Bifang’s live broadcast has always been known for its sense of immersion. The biggest feature of live broadcast is the uncertainty of the future. No one knows what will happen next.
Maybe he was eating hotpot and singing songs, and suddenly he was robbed by bandits... Well, it's a deserted place, so there are no bandits, and if there are any, they will starve to death, so they can't rob anyone, but there will definitely be all kinds of accidents.
Therefore, every time I watch Bifang’s live broadcast, no matter it is the deep forest, the barren desert, or the vast snowfield now, the sense of environmental insecurity always surrounds everyone.
Bifang himself is a very skilled and courageous person. He used to have the same mentality, but after experiencing more, he doesn't find it so scary anymore. However, the audience finds it very exciting, so he is very sensitive to any changes in the environment.
They finally understood why Scott gave up sled dogs and instead brought ponies. It was because he ate too much and, most importantly, he didn't eat grass!
All the supplies that Bifang had prepared before setting out were gone, and he could only collect some moss left over by the musk oxen along the way.
Anyone who has raised a dog knows that large dogs eat much more than humans. Even if they weigh less than humans, they can still eat more than humans.
"This is mainly because dogs' metabolism is much faster than humans'. Dogs' body temperature is 38 or even 39 degrees. Just to maintain this body temperature, they need a lot of food. In addition, dogs' stomachs are different from those of ordinary animals. They have a strong digestive ability, which is also the main reason why they eat a lot."
Bifang touched Fugui’s dog’s head.
This Alaskan dog has extremely lush fur that feels very good to the touch. It narrowed its eyes slightly, rubbed Bifang's palm, and licked it with its tongue.
At first, Fugui and Wangcai were very scared when they saw the huge beasts on the snowy plains, but after half a day of adapting, they got used to following these ferocious beasts.
[It's too small, the pattern is too small, you think Fang Shen is losing money, but you don't know that in fact, there are three more reserve grains.]
[Hiss, so that’s how it is]
[Does Fang Shen have no food to eat now?]
Bifang leaned against the snow hill, took out a dagger and dug off the lichen on the ground.
The place where they were now was exactly where the musk oxen had just been eating. Bifang picked some whole ones, cooked them briefly and had them as today's dinner.
These lichens and mosses that were half-eaten by the musk oxen can also be used as food, but it is obvious that the calories they can bring are pitifully small. The only advantage is probably that they are easier to obtain, saving Bifang the trouble of digging through the snow to find them.
The speed of this group of cows was ridiculously slow. After walking for an entire afternoon, Bifang doubted whether they had walked five kilometers. They walked for a while, ate for a while, and finally slept for a while, so even he himself became a little lax.
Seeing Bifang eating, Goudan immediately perked up, moved closer and pushed Bifang's arm aside. But after sniffing for a long time and finding it was just weeds, he barked twice in dissatisfaction, and as a result, Bifang hit him on the head twice with a stick.
Suddenly being taught a lesson, Erha ran to the side, buried his head in the snow and sulked.
After waiting until dark and "wasting" a whole day, Bifang finally got the opportunity he wanted.
bump!
The violent crashing sound rolled and spread across the vast snowfield, suddenly waking up the drowsy Bifang. He subconsciously rolled sideways and held the spear behind him in his hand, but after looking around, he found nothing unusual.
The collision sound rang out again, and this time Bifang could hear it more clearly. It was as if two huge rocks collided with each other, and the sound was dull and powerful.
[Fuck, the fight has started! The fight has started! ]
[Two musk oxen started fighting.]
[Fuck, they left the group, is this a good opportunity? ]
[Lao Fang, come on! Today is the day to enjoy delicious food and spicy drinks! ]
Compared to Bifang, viewers with a drone perspective can undoubtedly see more clearly.
Bifang, who was keenly aware of the content of the barrage, used his hands and feet to slowly climb up the snow hill, and the vision changed from pure white to half black and half white.
I'm lucky today, there are northern lights in the sky.
In the darkness, reflections from the snow-covered ground brought an unexpected glow and made the sky appear in distinct shades of rose pink and pale blue, dotted with golden evening stars.
Before coming to Greenland, many visitors were very yearning for the Northern Lights. However, when they discovered that the Northern Lights appeared every other day, they were no longer so enthusiastic. However, a beautiful night view like today's is still extremely rare.
Thanks to this, the drone does not need to turn on the night mode and the vision is very clear.
The two musk oxen charging each other are obviously males.
"Although both male and female musk oxen have horns, there are differences between the two. The horns of musk oxen swell from the base, but the horns of males are more obvious, almost covering the entire top of the head, and are generally thicker than those of females."
At this time, Bifang was very close to the musk oxen herd, only fifty meters away. He hid behind a snow hill and pointed at the fighting musk oxen.
Although both male and female musk oxen have horns like reindeer, they are quite different from reindeer in that male musk oxen are usually one-quarter larger and heavier than females.
The two musk oxen fighting were also big compared to the others in the group nearby. Bifang suspected that their weight was close to 400 kilograms.
[Four hundred kilograms, damn, that’s eight times my weight]
[Why are some females bigger and some males bigger? 】
"Well, it's a bit complicated to explain, but all biological problems can be traced back to evolution. In the end, we will find that productivity determines production relations."
"In the animal world, there are three common body sizes for males and females: one is that they are the same size, one is that the female is larger and the male is smaller, and the last is that the female is smaller and the male is larger. The underlying reason is related to the environment and competition."
"As the competitiveness of species increases, males will evolve from simple 'seed providers' to 'optimal seed providers'. In this change, body size will become more and more advantageous."
"This is a bit complicated to explain, I'll explain it later. The two of them are about to decide the winner, and when the winner is decided, we can take action."
