Chapter 895 Three Holes
The mine cave, which is more than two meters high, is wide enough for people to move freely.
Bifang held the torch, carefully avoiding the huge spider web that was spreading, with amazement in his eyes.
The firelight stimulated the giant spider that had lived in darkness for a long time. Its limbs were pulled by white silk and it hid in the corner of the wall.
"I didn't expect to encounter a Komachi spider here. It's really rare."
The audience was inevitably surprised to hear this, and the scene of discovering the strange fish in the underground river in the desert emerged in their minds.
Both are caves, and the sense of déjà vu is very strong.
Could it be that the Komaqi spider is also very rare?
Bifang nodded: "This spider was discovered by researchers by accident when they were checking specimens in a museum, and was subsequently registered."
"In order to find a living specimen, the scientific investigation team went to South Africa for several scientific surveys, but found nothing, so much so that people were worried that the Komaqi spider had become extinct."
"It wasn't until later that an investigator in South Africa stumbled upon a male and two female Komaqi spiders in a park, proving that the spiders were still alive."
It is not uncommon for specimens to appear first and records to appear later.
Before biological sciences developed systematically, adventurers had already left their mark all over the world.
When people encounter rare and exotic creatures by chance, they will capture them, make them into specimens, and regard them as the glory of their adventure and a topic of conversation.
As for what species this creature is and what its function is, no one cares.
Those who heard the story simply saw it as a badge of courage.
Super giant beetles, plants that eat insects, blood-red corals, these are all rare treasures.
Similarly, spiders that can weave the largest webs that are rare in the world must not be let go.
After the adventurers die of old age or in an accident, many specimens may be lost, may be collected by later generations, or may be donated or sold to museums.
One day a hundred years later, after being sorted out by a diligent recorder, the specimens buried in the corner of the museum and covered with dust may reappear in the world.
In just a few hundred years, the original species of some specimens may have become extinct and may never be found alive again.
"I don't know exactly how many Komaqi spiders are left in the wild, but I know for sure that there aren't many."
Bifang said cheerfully, "So it's quite lucky to be able to see it here. We are lucky."
In a normal abandoned diamond pit, the probability of finding a leak is very small.
If there are really small, high-purity broken diamonds, even if the mine owner does not like them, the miners who withdraw at the end will not let them go.
Unless this is not a normal abandoned mine, or you are lucky enough to dig a rock wall and reveal a diamond that has not been discovered for a long time and has a fairly high clarity.
Therefore, Bifang did not come in with the idea of getting valuable things, but more to satisfy his own and the audience's curiosity.
It is a complete surprise that I can see the rare Komachi spider now. It is well worth the trip.
"Come on, let's keep moving forward."
Bifang avoided the spider web and moved deeper into the mine.
The darkness grew deeper and deeper, but the mine did not become smaller. Instead, it became more empty.
This made the audience feel even more depressed, and Bifang became more cautious in his movements.
"When you are exploring in the wild or encounter a cave with a large number of spiders, you must be careful. It's not because spiders are poisonous, but the fact that there are a large number of spiders living in the cave provides the possibility that there are creatures higher up in the food chain."
What is the possibility of higher-level life?
Many viewers expressed confusion.
"It's very simple. First, there are a lot of spiders in the cave, which proves that it has been abandoned for a long time and animals have already occupied the mine."
"Second, spiders will also become a member of the food chain, but they are not at the top. Many venomous snakes like to eat arthropods. Caves are their favorite environment, especially when there is food. Larger and more venomous snakes are the deadliest."
"As for the spider, it's nothing."
Bifang held a torch and moved forward slowly, carefully and cautiously.
At the same time, have some knowledge exchanges with the audience.
"Contrary to what you might think, spiders pose little threat to humans."
"On the one hand, most spiders are very wary and will avoid contact with humans, and if they have to, they will warn before attacking."
"For example, the Australian funnel-web spider will first raise its front two or four legs as a warning, and if you see this action you should stay away."
"So far, scientists have not found any cases of spiders actively attacking humans, including common spider species in our lives, such as jumping spiders, house ghost spiders, large wood spiders, etc."
"On the other hand, most spiders are not venomous. Even if they are, they are too small. Even if you are bitten by a venomous spider, you can basically heal yourself."
"We have only found seven species of spiders whose venom can cause harm to humans. The venom of the Australian funnel-web spider can directly cause death to humans, but as long as an anti-snake venom serum is injected within 15 minutes, the danger can be avoided."
"The venom of the remaining six spider species is currently not considered to be directly fatal to humans."
"For example, the famous black widow spider is one of the remaining six species. Its venom is 15 times stronger than that of a rattlesnake, but because it is so small, it is almost not fatal."
"About 2,200 people are bitten by black widows in the United States every year, but there has not been a single authoritative death report so far. Its venom can at most cause muscle pain, abdominal cramps and rapid heartbeats in humans. The injured can recover without medical treatment, unless you happen to have cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases."
"Also, spiders rarely inject all of their venom at once."
Spiders can accurately control the amount of venom they release, and whether they are attacking or counterattacking, they will not use up all of their venom at once.
Venom is a spider's weapon for catching food, and it must be used with great care.
Large crickets are given more poison, smaller fruit flies are given less poison, and each meal has a planned amount of poison.
If the venom is used up all at once, it will take several weeks to replenish.
This means that a spider without its venom weapon could starve for weeks.
Even if you pinch a spider's belly, it won't release all of its venom to attack you at once.
"You are not food for the spider. It is reluctant to waste its precious and limited venom on you."
"The small amount and small number of injections are destined to have only one result."
"Venom is not a virus. It cannot reproduce itself. The amount will not increase. Injecting venom into the human body is like dropping cyanide into the sea. You can't poison anyone to death."
"Of course, dripping into the ocean is an exaggeration, but it's about the same idea."
"Even in Australia in the last century, there were only 13 reported deaths from spiders."
[Sent, was rejected]
[Bite you hard]
[Fuck, so that's how it is, I'm shocked]
[My fear of spiders has suddenly decreased a lot]
[A spider this big, it looks like it could eat Jerry ]
[I feel like Jerry ate it ]
Do mice eat spiders?
Along the way, Bifang didn't find anything special, but only saw some symbols on the wall, which might have been used by the miners to communicate or to scribble.
It was not until about thirty or forty meters that the corridor suddenly widened. The height did not change much, but the width suddenly reached nearly ten meters.
At the same time, three holes appeared in different directions in front of him.
