Chapter 786: Prairie Night [Come to the starting point to subscribe]
In fact, the nights in Africa can be colder.
Even in the middle of summer, because the overall heat absorption and heat storage effect of the grassland is not enough, and there are winds blowing everywhere in all directions, the temperature difference between day and night is very large.
Although it is not at the level of the desert, it is normal for the temperature to drop to more than ten degrees in the middle of the night.
Syllable!
Walking in the moonlight, the girl kept slapping her body.
Mosquito repellent spray was sprayed, but it didn't do much.
"These mosquitoes are too much, biting people itching to death, and they are likely to carry viruses, such as malaria and the like, and may even be unique to Africa that we Orientals can't resist, damn it, you still bite."
Jia Long was furious.
Mosquitoes are really annoying, especially in places like Africa, where mosquitoes at night are even more distracting.
In a hurry, a mosquito bit her delicate face, and she slapped her cheek.
Syllable!
"Ouch, it hurts."
The girl slapped herself and grinned in pain.
There was laughter in the live broadcast room.
"666, this is the authentic self slapping yourself in the face."
"Xiaolong, you're too funny, self-punishment."
"It's no wonder that mosquitoes bite you, whoever makes you so tender, if I am a mosquito, I will also bite you."
"Yes, bite you a hundred times, a hundred times, all over your body, quack."
Even Xiao Maomao, who was pouting her little buttocks and followed Jia Long step by step, wanted to roll around with a smile at this moment.
"Puff, rake and slap the chicken's face."
Jia Long slapped herself into a daze, but she was more rational.
"You see, the ground here is a kind of African red mud land, and if you listen to it again, there is still the sound of water in front of it, which should be a small river in the grassland."
"I've come up with a solution to mosquito bites."
She lowered her head and retrieved a piece of clothing that had been torn but not thrown away.
Spread your clothes on the ground and pull out the dagger from your waist.
Qiangqiang, Qiangqiang.
Using a dagger to dig into the soft red mud ground under his feet, Jia Long quickly dug out a small pile and put it on his clothes.
"Alright, that's all that should be enough."
Wrapping up the dirt, she walked with Maomao to the place where the water was sounding.
"You see, the black shadow over there should be a wildebeest, and there are zebras in the distance, and this grassland can be said to be full of life."
By the moonlight, he could still see the shadows of animals within one or two hundred meters, and Jia Long found traces of suspected wildebeests, zebras and other animals.
Of course, this is limited to large animals, and smaller ones are not so easy to see.
Crash.
When Jia Long slowly approached the place where there was a splash with hair, another light and crisp splash sound sounded in the night.
"It seems that the creature that caused the movement was quite small, and in my estimation, it should be a hippopotamus or a crocodile. It is also likely that crocodiles are hunting. ”
Jia Long lowered his body and tiptoed closer to the direction where the splash came from.
Sure enough, in the darkness of the night, a small stream appeared.
The moonlight was white, and the haze added to the mystery of this exotic wilderness.
"At the water source of the African savannah, there are many animals that gather at night, and this is no exception......
Jia Long tiptoed lightly towards the stream.
In the place where the splash occurred just now, Jia Long saw a group of large men showing half of their backs.
They loomed in the water, and if it weren't for a small section of their backs exposed outside the water, and there were waves of water ripples around them, maybe even Jia Long would have missed them.
"Can you see it? There's a hippopotamus over there, yes, the same hippopotamus we dealt with this afternoon, and it's clear that these hippos are hippos that don't have red eye symptoms, but they're all very dangerous. ”
Jia Long tried his best to lower his voice, and also instructed Mao Mao to tiptoe.
Jia Long was still more than twenty meters away from the small stream, but within these twenty meters, she saw several large and medium-sized African creatures swaying in the grass.
For example, the large herbivorous wildebeest, which I have seen from afar, and the African oryx, the largest of all the antelopes, and a few small springboks.
In the distance downstream of the stream, Jia Long also found two huge and bloated figures like hippos.
"There's the rhinoceros over there, which is a rare animal to see elsewhere, but Africa abounds. But we have to be very careful with them, and don't take them lightly because most of the animals on the African continent, except for those of small and medium size, are fatal to us humans. ”
The girl's slightly baby-fat apple muscles moved slightly as she pursed her lips, and her eyes, which seemed to contain bright stars, flashed with a little thoughtfulness.
The audience in the barrage also pinched cold sweat for her because of Jia Long's dangerous environment.
Even anyone can see that this teenage anchor's ability in the wilderness is far beyond that of ordinary people.
There are even guns in your hands that can solve most animals, but in the African savannah, where there are crises everywhere, sometimes you don't have to have a gun to be safe.
"Actually, I said so much along the way, maybe some of the nearby animals have already heard it, but unless it's a top predator, no animal will take the initiative to attack me, because the size and height of humans are not too small in Africa."
Jia Long had been looking around to see if there were lions or large and medium-sized beasts such as leopards, hyenas, and jackals, but she hid behind a bush of weeds and stared carefully for a long time, and she didn't find any shadow of large carnivores.
Eventually, she picked a spot that was closest to the water source and where there weren't many drinking animals around, and quietly approached it.
"Water is a necessary item for most animals, and many of the natural killings of species in Africa occur near water sources, and although I have a firearm in my hand, I am attacked by a lion hiding in the grass at my feet, and even I can only hate it on the spot, so I must be very careful in this process."
Jia Long slowly approached the water source, but there seemed to be a faint shadow shaking on the surface of the water at the chosen location, which made her feel a little frightened.
"No, there must be a few crocodiles in the water, and judging by the ripples in the stream, they are probably the largest crocodile in Africa, the 'Nile crocodile', and I will have to get water from another place."
Jia Long only felt that his little heart was beating wildly.
In addition to hippos, there are crocodiles in streams, which is the norm in many water sources in Africa.
"Let's change places, such a big stream, it can't be all crocodile hippos."
Jia Long tirelessly changed places and tried to avoid danger as much as possible, which was by no means untargeted.
But she knows very well that there are times when the most dangerous in the grassland is not the lions that the dragon can not see, nor the leopards and other cats.
In fact, one of the animals that kills people very much in Africa is the unexpected hippopotamus.
Hippos far outnumber lions in Africa.
And lion killings are hard to hear about in Africa. But hippos are different, and dozens of hippos kill people every year.
For example, a wealthy man in Bay Province who recently became popular died in the mouth of a hippopotamus, which was also due to the fact that the deceased who was originally reported on the Internet was a native of Longxia, which caused netizens in the mainland of Longxia to attack and scold each other with netizens in Bay Province. (Ahem, I won't mention this, just say it casually, don't bring the rhythm)
"Hippos have a short temper, and crocodiles are even more frightening to the animals on the riverbank, so I'm not wasting time and energy by being cautious."
"You know, we're in Africa, and it's the most dangerous nocturnal savannah in Africa."
The drone has lost the slightest screen light at some point.
The sound of its flight also became inaudible, even a little less than the movement caused by Jia Long and Mao Mao's sneaking.
So when Jia Long used her stealth skills to finally reduce the sight of some beasts that were faintly watching her to a minimum, she finally walked along the stream for more than twenty meters in the dark, and walked to a stream bank with a low risk factor.
"You can definitely get into the water here."
She was wary of her surroundings again, and then quietly descended to the bank of the stream.
In particular, she waited on the shore for a while, and then quietly looked at the dark stream and some grass on the bank, and the trekking poles in her palms were slightly sweaty.
Fortunately, after ten minutes of vigilance, she felt that there was not the slightest movement in the water, so she carefully took out a folding outdoor bucket in her backpack.
Wow......
She didn't care much, she quickly scooped a bucket of water vigilantly, and hurriedly retreated.
"Let's go."
Xiao Maomao learned from Jia Long's cautious appearance, and followed Jia Long to fly back together.
The process of extracting water is one of the most dangerous and the most frightening.
Because you don't know if there will be a huge Nile crocodile in the black stream, or if there is a hippopotamus interested in you, and will gnaw at you with a bloody mouth.
Fortunately, Jia Long took the bucket of water with his courage and carefulness.
Fifteen minutes later, Jia Long and Mao Mao walked to the base of a tree with a huge trunk.
"This tree will be a good shelter for me to rest overnight, I just looked for it on the road, everyone knows that African wild animals are like crucian carp crossing the river, sometimes you don't know when you are around, when a group of lions will suddenly come out, or when a herd of African buffalo is not weak, so I can't take it lightly when resting, my plan is to climb on the trunk of the tree to rest for a while, and then continue to drive after a few hours."
"And this tree, everyone will be familiar with it, because it is the famous 'bread tree'. Isn't it different from the big-bellied look you're used to? Hehe, after all, the baobab tree does not have a fixed belly, such as this one, it is relatively like an ordinary giant tree. ”
After Jia Long finished speaking, he didn't immediately climb up, but unfolded the clothes that had been wrapped in red clay before, and then mixed some water from the bucket.
Next, she was dumbfounded by the audience, and directly smeared the reconciled 'red mud' on her fair face.
"Hehe, I prepared so much water just to put mud on myself, otherwise do you think I'd drink raw water from hippos and crocodiles? I still have a bottle of water in my backpack, but it's not there yet. ”
"As for why the mud is smeared, guess why......"
