224, blue frog
Soon Yan'er and Da Qiao neatly removed the crocodile meat and roasted it over a lit bonfire.
With fresh sea salt, the roast is infused with soul.
The taste and texture of crocodile meat are very similar to deep-sea fish, and the color of the grilled fish is snow-white with a layer of golden yellow, and soon the aroma of the barbecue meat wafts out, and Xiao Qiao in the tree house pokes his head out like a cat.
"It smells so good...... What are we going to have for breakfast?"
Da Qiao glanced at her and said in a deep voice: "The lazy worm has nothing to eat!"
"Don't, don't......" Xiao Qiao begged cutely, "Sister, I was wrong, I won't sleep lazy tomorrow." By the way, by the way, you and Yan'er have a good rest after eating for a while, can't I be responsible for washing the dishes?"
Da Qiao snorted coldly: "Can just washing the dishes make up for your previous laziness?" I guess during the time that Chen Zhe and I went out, the housework in the camp was all done by Yan'er, right?"
"No, no, I helped a little bit...... For example, chopping wood, catching fish, etc., I also work!" Xiao Qiao hurriedly argued.
Yan'er next to her also clarified for Xiao Qiao: "Sister Da Qiao, Xiao Qiao, she is actually not that lazy, she usually does a lot of housework, she just likes to sleep lazy." ”
"Oh well. ”
Hearing Yan'er's words, Da Qiao nodded slightly, and then said to Xiao Qiao,
"You will be in charge of washing the dishes in a while, and then you will wash my and Chen Zhe's dirty clothes. ”
"Okay......" Xiao Qiao pouted helplessly, knowing that sleeping lazily would cost such a big price, she would definitely not dare to sleep lazy.
By the time Joe had climbed down from the treehouse, everyone had breakfast.
This caiman weighs two or three hundred catties, and the fish meat removed is enough for four people to eat for several days.
The fresh crocodile meat has a rather fluffy texture after roasting, and the high-protein and high-nutrient fish meat exudes a rich aroma.
Sprinkled with a touch of freshly made sea salt, the well-grained sea salt perfectly echoes the browned fish.
When you bite into it, it's really fragrant.
"Crocodile meat is so delicious, isn't it? Da Qiao said with emotion.
Chen Zhe nodded with a smile and said, "Yes, although the crocodile looks terrible, it still tastes good." ”
"I really didn't expect this big guy with rough skin and thick flesh to be so soft...... Xiao Qiao also said approvingly.
At this time, Da Qiao suddenly looked longingly in the direction of the mountain, and said leisurely: "It would be nice if you could sprinkle a handful of chili peppers at this time...... I miss the wild peppers planted in the camp at the bottom of the mountain......"
Hearing her sister say this, Xiao Qiao was also hooked.
Both sisters have no spicy or happy tastes, and they always think of chili peppers first when they eat.
Recalling the great flood that swept everything two days ago, Xiao Qiao hurriedly asked, "Sister, how are the cherry tomatoes and wild peppers in our camp at the bottom of the mountain?
"Of course ......not," Da Qiao shook his head regretfully, "The courtyard of the camp has turned into an ocean, and the crocodiles have swam in, how can cherry tomatoes and wild peppercorns still survive?"
"Ah...... It's so sad. Little Joe said with a sad face, "My poor wild pepper, that's our hard work......"
Chen Zhe said optimistically: "It doesn't matter, when the rainy season is over next year, we can replant." ”
......
A meal of breakfast passed quickly, and after breakfast, everyone entered a leisurely rhythm of relaxation.
Yan'er and Da Qiao stood by the window of the treehouse and enjoyed the view of the rainforest, chatting about the anecdotes of the salt-making process.
Chen Zhe squatted on the ground and continued to draw the design of the armor, he had to find a way to use the hardest parts of the crocodile skin.
And Xiao Qiao, who slept lazily, followed her sister's instructions and picked up the clay dishes to wash the dishes, but there was no way, this was the price of her lazy sleep.
By this time, the light rain had stopped, and only some of the leaves in the rainforest would drip from time to time.
There is a small pond not far from the big banyan tree, and the water in the pond is very clear, and it is usually used as fresh water for drinking, or for washing dishes and dishes.
Xiao Qiao came to the pond with the dishes and chopsticks, put the tableware on the ground, and then began to wash it seriously.
This girl is lazy, but she still doesn't have much water to work.
However, there is not much to clean on the plate of grilled crocodile meat, because crocodile meat is different from wolf meat and pork.
Crocodile meat is a high-protein, low-fat meat, even after grilling, it will not produce a lot of oil, at most, there are some salt grains and burnt protein adhered to the tableware, which needs to be washed off by Xiao Qiao.
Xiao Qiao's fair-skinned and slender fingers roamed flexibly on the plate, and the work was almost done.
At this moment, she suddenly heard a strange movement next to the pond, and then a bright color flickered into her field of vision.
"Huh, what?"
Xiao Qiao was aroused by curiosity and squinted his eyes.
I saw a very small frog squatting on the blade of grass next to the pond, which was only half the size of a small finger at most, very small and cute.
What's even more amazing is that the color of this frog is particularly beautiful, and its body is a very beautiful blue color, which is different from other green, brown or gray frogs.
This small frog is delicate like a toy, and you can't help but want to touch it.
Seeing this frog, Little Qiao was very excited, and she hurriedly shouted to the treehouse, "Come and see! Come and see! There is such a beautiful frog here!"
"What's so nice about frogs...... Da Qiao immediately shook his head with disgust when he heard this, "Don't look at it!"
Yan'er was very interested, and said with a smile: "Wait a minute, I'll come." ”
Chen Zhe, who was studying the armor not far away, heard Xiao Qiao's words, but his heart immediately became vigilant.
Frogs in the rainforest are not the same as those in rural crops, and most of the frogs in the rainforest are highly poisonous, and the more beautiful the frog, the more venomous, which is a very basic common sense.
Worried that Xiao Qiao would recklessly touch the frog and be poisoned, Chen Zhe hurriedly walked over.
"Don't touch this frog, it's probably poisonous. Chen Zhe reminded.
"Don't worry, I'm not that stupid, I kept staring at it and didn't touch it. Xiao Qiao said, and then looked up and asked Chen Zhe, "Chen Zhe, what kind of frog do you say this is?"
"I'll have to see it. ”
Chen Zhe said in a deep voice.
After that, he looked down at the frog on the blade of grass, and saw that the frog's appearance and posture were very distinctive.
About two centimeters in length and about one centimeter in width - this frog is very small, it can be said that it is too small.
The blue skin, with tear-shaped lines growing on the skin, basically confirmed one thing, that is, the frog was highly poisonous.
Then the system will give you a prompt:
[Item detected: An adult male poison dart frog.] 】
Seeing this, Chen Zhe couldn't help but take a cautious step back and said to Xiao Qiao: "Meng Fei, have you heard of it...... Poison Dart Frog?"
"Poison Dart Frog?" Of course, Xiao Qiao had never heard of such an unpopular name, and asked blankly, "Is this the name of this little blue frog?"
......
Meanwhile.
In the live broadcast room of Wilderness Survival.
The footage of Chen Zhe's group had been broadcast live a few minutes ago.
When the camera showed the frog found by Xiao Qiao, netizens also became curious.
"What kind of animal is this?"
"Oh my God, is this a frog? What a little frog......
"This frog must be so beautiful in color, it must be very poisonous. ”
"Frogs in the rainforest are basically poisonous. ”
“......”
The host Zhu Ranran was also attracted by this strange creature.
In fact, she usually doesn't like frogs, but the frog in front of her looks so interesting, with its compact form and blue skin, it looks like a mini toy.
"This frog is so funny, and it looks very cute, like a key pendant...... Teachers, what kind of frog is this?"
Ms. Song, a wildlife expert, immediately said with a serious expression: "Ranran, don't be deceived by the appearance of this frog, although this frog looks very cute and cute, and the color is also very bright, but it is one of the most dangerous creatures in the tropical rainforest - poison dart frog." ”
"What, what?" Zhu Ranran gasped and asked in disbelief, "Such a gadget...... The most dangerous creature in the rainforest?"
"Yes. Ms. Song said in a deep voice, "It's called the poison dart frog, you can probably guess how poisonous it is from its name, right?"
"Poison Dart Frog...... It's a scary name. Zhu Ranran nodded and said.
"The poison dart frog is most abundant in the rainforests of South America, but it is also found in other tropics around the world. Although these frogs are small, only about two to three centimeters, they carry deadly toxins in their bodies. ”
Ms. Song said,
"The Indians used the toxins extracted from this frog to fight predators and hunt, and the toxins on a small frog hill were enough to bring down a huge deer!"
"Ah......" Zhu Ranran was frightened by Ms. Song's description, and said nervously, "Then these frogs appeared around Chen Zhe's camp, aren't they very dangerous Chen Zhe?"
"If they don't recognize this creature and don't realize how scary this frog is, then there's no doubt that they're very dangerous......," Ms. Song said.
But soon Chen Zhe in the camera recognized the frog and accurately said its name.
Seeing this, Ms. Song nodded approvingly: "Chen Zhe really knows this kind of frog, since he knows this kind of frog, then he shouldn't be hurt by the frog......"
"I hope so. Zhu Ranran said with palpitations, "But when I think of such poisons living around the camp, I still feel very unsure, especially since they are very small, if I accidentally step on them or touch them, isn't it also very dangerous?"
"Yes. Ms. Song said helplessly, "The small size is also the danger of poison dart frogs, because they will be difficult to prevent......
......
The other side.
Next to the pond under the big banyan tree.
Yan'er and Da Qiao also climbed down the treehouse one after another to watch the magical frog that Xiao Qiao found.
At this time, four or five of the same frogs had gathered in the grass, and they were squatting on the leaves to check the surroundings vigilantly, and several of them were also looking at Chen Zhe and them as Chen Zhe looked at them.
Xiao Qiao didn't know what kind of frog the poison dart frog was, and Da Qiao and Yan'er didn't know much about this animal.
"Chen Zhe, poison dart frog...... What are those three words? No, frog I know it's a frog's frog, which poison arrow is the poison arrow?" asked Little Joe.
"Poisoned arrows, poisoned arrows. Chen Zhe said, "This kind of frog is distributed in large numbers in the Americas, and the local Indians specialize in using the neurotoxins on their bodies to refine weapons and make poison arrows, so they are called poison dart frogs." ”
"What?"
Hearing this, Xiao Qiao immediately became nervous, and quickly followed Chen Zhe to take a step back, keeping a distance from these frogs.
Da Qiao asked vigilantly, "Chen Zhe, since these frogs are used to make poisoned arrows, then they must be very poisonous, right?"
"It's poisonous, it's very poisonous. Chen Zhe nodded, "A few little frogs like this, the toxins on their bodies are enough to poison a big living person......
"Huh?"
At this time, the three girls were not calm, and quickly stood up and hid behind Chen Zhe.
Yan'er said nervously, "Brother Xiao Chen, there are such scary animals around our camp...... Can we still live in this camp?"
"That's right. Da Qiao also said worriedly, "And these little frogs are so small that they can't usually be seen at all, if you accidentally step on them, or touch them, won't it be over?"
Seeing the three girls being scared like this, Chen Zhe couldn't help but smile.
He suddenly leaned down to pick up a leaf from the banyan tree from the ground, and then made a gesture that caused the three girls to scream.
He used his hand to pad the leaves and grabbed a blue poison dart frog on a blade of grass.
"Ah——!h
"Chen Zhe, what are you doing?"
"Brother Xiao Chen! Dangerous! Dangerous!"
The three girls hurriedly said loudly to Chen Zhe.
And the netizens in the live broadcast room were also frightened by Chen Zhe's action, a frog that can poison a deer, you said you would catch it?
"Chen Zhe is crazy?"
"Are you going to die with the other three teammates?"
"No zuo No die!"
"Is Chen Zhe planning to poison himself?"
"Chen Zhe doesn't want to die?"
“......”
Even Ms. Song, a wildlife expert, was scared out of white sweat by Chen Zhe's behavior, and kept shaking her head.
The host Zhu Ranran sat up straight and said vigilantly: "Chen Zhe...... It's dangerous......"
At this time, Chen Zhe, who pinched the poison dart frog, shook the small thing in his hand and said to everyone: "Calm down, don't be nervous, although this frog contains highly poisonous, this poison is not as dangerous as you think."
This toxin is a steroidal toxin that can only act on the blood of living beings, which means that if you don't have a wound on your body, the frog poison of the poison dart frog will not hurt you, at most it will only cause some dermatitis. ”
