Chapter 80: Poisonous Bird Hunters
With this experience, the team finally became cautious, everyone got together to act, and they didn't run out to take pictures alone, Yang Yi and the mountain dog walked in front with the two women, and the staff in the city walked behind, protecting this group of experts in the middle.
In this way, after walking this way, I also met two cobras and a five-step snake, all of which without exception entered the snakeskin bag of the mountain dog, although these poisonous snakes are scary, but they are also excellent medicinal materials, especially in southern Xinjiang, where popular snake wine, this poisonous snake is used.
The mouth of the Spider Valley is not big, more than ten meters wide, but relatively short, standing at the mouth of the valley you can see the end at a glance, between the dense trees, some giant trees more than 30 meters tall to stand out from the crowd, the straight trunk does not have any branches, to the top is divided into two branches, there are leaves like palm trees on it, but the appearance is better, the arrangement is also very neat, it is the sealing wood they are looking for.
"That's them, you see those that only branch at the top of the tree are the sealing wood, and those with more branches are the scale wood, this is the greatest discovery in the biology world!"
Li Lao excitedly pulled the people next to him and said, those experts were all excited, even foreigners, and kept muttering something.
Yang Yi didn't care about them, but took the two girls to the side, both with two little tigers, they also liked the environment here, but Yang Yi didn't dare to let them run away, this is a veritable poisonous den, and any one of them will explain it.
"Yang Yi, come here!" shouted Old Li standing in the crowd.
"What's the matter, Elder Li?" Yang Yi walked over and asked.
"We're going to go into the valley, what do you think?"
"It's too dangerous! I don't recommend you to go in, if you want to see the whole thing, you can take a drone to shoot around, if you want to study it alone, there are some scattered small trees over there just now, you can study it first, it's really dangerous inside!" Yang Yi persuaded bitterly.
"We know, but as researchers, it's a very painful thing to see these plants in front of you that can't be studied. We discussed it before we called you over, and we decided to go in, but you young people can be on the periphery, do you think you have anything else to explain?"
Li Lao said with a smile, for him, not being able to study in front of him is the most painful thing.
"If you have to do this, I'll take you there, I know how to walk to avoid some spiders, and there are some grasses here that can repel insects, which are more effective than the insect repellent you use, just put it in your pocket, so that the poisonous insects will not dare to get close!"
Yang Yi took out some grass from his bag and distributed it to those experts and assistants, this is a small yellow grass, no more than 20 centimeters high, a red line in the middle of the leaf, like blood, constantly exudes a special aroma, but the taste is not heavy, you need to smell it carefully to smell.
"Huh, old Song, have you ever seen this kind of grass?"
Li Lao took the Cordyceps repellent and looked at it, and then he couldn't move it, and after studying it for a long time, he asked Professor Song next to him.
"No! You know that I have studied herbs a lot, and the first time I saw this grass, I promise that I have not included it so far!"
Professor Song also studied for a long time, and when he heard Li Lao's inquiry, he replied affirmatively, and Yang Yi, who happened to come back, heard it, and immediately smiled bitterly, originally wanted to do good deeds, but he didn't expect to forget that a bunch of people were all botanical experts, and he recognized this as a new type of plant at a glance.
Yang Yi hurriedly covered the woods a kilometer away from here with the Dragon Ball, transplanted some of the grass in the Dragon Ball and planted it there, fortunately, it can be operated with his mind within a certain distance now, otherwise it will be really troublesome!
"Yang Yi, what's the name of your grass, where did you find it?" Seeing Yang Yi coming over, Li Lao hurriedly asked.
"This grass, I call them Cordyceps, mainly because snakes, insects, rats and ants don't dare to get close to them, just in that direction, about a kilometer, everywhere. ”
After listening to Yang Yi's answer, Li Lao and Professor Song were very excited, and immediately sent a few students to take this grass to find it, although it only has the effect of repelling insects, but after the research is out, it may be able to greatly improve the quality of insect repellents and reduce costs.
Those foreign experts also heard it, and then asked whether joint research and development could be carried out, but Li Lao rejected categorically instead of Yang Yi, what are you kidding, this is what we discovered in China, and it will naturally belong to us. It's good to be able to give you a plant, but you still want to use it for research, and you want to eat it? In fact, what he is thinking about now is how to take back all the Cordyceps repellent in the hands of these foreigners, but it seems unlikely. I didn't see an old guy, and directly stuffed the grass into the crotch of his pants, Yang Yi looked stupid, didn't he panic?
Leaving some people at the mouth of the valley, Yang Yi led the research team into the valley. From time to time, some insects jumped out of the half-leg-deep grass, which were much larger than the outside, and they also smelled the smell of cordyceps, so they couldn't stand it and stayed away.
"Teacher, be careful, what kind of spider do you think is that?"
Just as everyone was looking intently at their feet, a young man with glasses jumped up and pointed to the spider crawling out of the hole not far away.
The spider he was referring to had nearly 15 centimeters in size with its legs spread out, and its whole body was pitch black, with brown patterns on the carapace of the cephalothorax, and its whole body was covered with hard bristles, which looked really scary.
"Tarantula, Lao Chen, take a look, you are still playing with insects part-time here, what kind of species do you see it, and is it poisonous?" asked Lao Li, pointing to an old professor.
"Don't get close, let it go first, this is a highly poisonous bird catcher, our country also calls him Qiongzhou bird catcher, it is highly poisonous and likes to attack people, let it leave first!"
Professor Chen glanced at it and immediately warned everyone, and it could be seen that he was more afraid of this spider.
"Look, there's another one there!" said another assistant, pointing not far away.
"Don't get closer, don't alarm them!" Professor Chen hurriedly stopped everyone.
"Lao Chen, you tell us about this thing, so that we can be prepared!" Li Lao suggested, and the foreigners also nodded.
"This Qiongzhou bird-catching spider is the largest species of bird-catching spider, commonly known as [Black Tiger], aggressive and poisonous are very strong, and have a strong aggressiveness and aggression, the maximum can grow to 25 cm, their larvae dare to capture their own 2--3 times the prey, mainly hunting some insects and mice.
They are highly toxic, poisoning small mammals in very small doses, and in the laboratory, 0.07 mg of venom can cause more than 50% of the death of test rats.
However, this spider seems to be fierce, in fact, it is quite timid, and it will run away when there is wind and grass, as long as you are careful, but now this season belongs to the breeding period, and any creature will be more irritable during the breeding period, so try not to provoke them or not to provoke, and it is not fun to be bitten. ”
Professor Chen explained the situation of this highly poisonous bird-catching spider in simple terms, and those foreigners also looked at these ugly big guys cautiously after hearing it, they had the impression that black widows and sand spiders were the most poisonous, but they didn't expect that there were also poisonous and ferocious spiders in Huaxia.
"But Professor Chen, even if they leave in fright, they shouldn't go in one direction, right?" asked an assistant, pointing to the departing birdcatchers.
"No one has found out about this yet, what's going on?"
Professor Chen helped his eyes on the bridge of his nose, and said with the same doubts, because of the kung fu in front of him, there have been at least ten waves of bird-catching spiders, almost hundreds, and they look very crazy.
Yang Yi looked over with the dragon balls, these bird-catching spiders were indeed going in one direction, expanding the range, and the scene he "saw" in front of him made him startled. These birdcatchers did not leave in fright at all, but an entire race went out to fight, and the object of the fight was another poisonous insect.
"Shall we come along?" said Professor Chen.
"It's better not to do it, you also said that these things are highly poisonous, let's not provoke them, in case they attack us in clusters, we will be in big trouble!"
"I think so, it's better to go to the sealing wood first!"
"It's not impossible to take a look from afar, right?"
"Go over there first, see if you encounter it, forget it if you don't meet it!"
"This idea can be ......"
