For yourself to survive the sandstorm.

Chen Xu also felt a little lucky, if it really lasted for a few days, let alone being blocked and suffocated by smoke and dust, he would die of thirst.

In areas near the equator, it gets dark very quickly, and basically as soon as the sun sets, it will be completely dark in less than 20 minutes.

Gradually, he walked for more than an hour, and the sky had begun to get darker.

"It's getting dark, we need to hurry up and find our camp tonight!"

Chen Xu spun around, ready to start looking for a favorable campsite nearby.

However, after searching for a while, they did not find any favorable natural campsites nearby, they were all bare, and even tried to build one by hand, but there were no materials.

"There is no way, we can only sleep on the ground tonight, in the desert, this kind of thing will happen often, we must try to find a leeward place with undulating terrain, so that we will not be woken up by the wind in the middle of the night. ”

"Fortunately, compared to grasslands, mountain forests, rainforests and other ecological environments, the density of wild animals here is very low. ”

"But it is not excluded that there are jackals, sand foxes, spotted hyenas and other medium-sized African carnivores, they are also extremely aggressive, especially the spotted hyena group, which you have also seen in the Serengeti's live broadcast before, they are definitely murderous beasts that kill people without blinking!"

"Let's clear the ground first, and then make a fire, which is effective in driving out the beasts and ......."

As Chen Xu spoke, he walked around to the back of a small dirt slope and used a dead log to clear the nearby stones one by one.

But before he finished his last sentence.

Under a clod the size of a head, a black shadow suddenly flashed and rushed towards his ankle!

Chen Xu reacted very quickly!

The first time he saw the black shadow, he quickly jumped backwards, immediately widened the distance, and then quickly used the dead wood in his hand to hit the attacking black shadow fiercely!

Syllable!

With a crisp sound, the black shadow was directly hit by the stick, and stopped there in a daze, struggling.

Only then did the audience see that the black shadow turned out to be a scorpion!

This black scorpion was much smaller than the rainforest scorpion that Xu Ye had encountered in the Guatemalan rainforest before, probably less than 10 centimeters long, and was wrapped in a pitch-black hard carapace covered with yellow sand.

The only distinguishing feature that distinguishes it from other scorpions is that its tail is extraordinarily thick, one that is almost disproportionately large to its body.

And on that huge tail hanging upside down, there is a sharp and huge poisonous hook, just looking at it, it makes people shudder.

Chen Xu even pointed at the scorpion with a stick: "I'm right, everyone must be careful of these stones and clods of soil on the African desert, if I touched it with my hands just now, then now I will definitely terminate the live broadcast immediately, and I may even pay the price of my life!"

The audience was shocked, is this thing so terrible?

He continued: "This is an African black fat-tailed scorpion, a common species in the Sahara Desert, which is very poisonous and is a very intense neurotoxin, known as the third most poisonous scorpion in the world, but it is far more dangerous than the world's first poisonous scorpion: the Israeli golden scorpion. ”

"Although the Israeli golden scorpion is more poisonous than it, it has very little toxin, and can only kill the elderly and children, and does not pose a lethal threat to adults, but it is different, do you see its huge tail hooked with poison, there is a large amount of venom stored there, and the injection amount is very amazing, enough to kill any human. ”

"Moreover, they have a ferocious temperament and attack almost any creature they see, so they also have a nickname called the Mauritanian killer scorpion, and it is reported that in the entire North African region, more than 800 people are bitten to death by him every year, which is close to 20% of the world's scorpion attacks!"

In the process of Chen Xu's explanation, the North African black fat-tailed scorpion gradually recovered, its tail was raised even higher, and it seemed to be very angry.

After sensing him, he immediately rushed over again.

"The attack speed of the North African black fat-tailed scorpion is very fast, after being frightened, its action will be faster and more vicious than usual, crawling speed can exceed 40 kilometers per hour, faster than us humans, so everyone must be careful, do not touch with skin and flesh!"

After speaking, Chen Xu hurriedly retreated quickly.

And when the North African black fat-tailed scorpion approached within a meter of it, he seized the opportunity, stuck a stick down, and finally pressed it to the ground.

"I caught it! As I said before, almost all scorpions in the world are edible, but we must first remove its head and poison sac!"

While Chen Xu pressed the black fat-tailed scorpion with a stick, he slowly pulled out the whaling fork from his waist with his left hand, and then stuck a knife into its head.

And at the same time as he inserted the black fat-tailed scorpion, the latter fought back on the verge of death, and the poisonous tail quickly stung on the stick holding it.

But it is doomed to be in vain.

"Nima, such a big adult wild fat-tailed scorpion, Taobao will sell for at least 1800!"

"Scorpion: NMB, Shi Ke can not be humiliated, let go of me, Lao Tzu wants to duel with you!"

"For Xu Ye, this is a fat scorpion!"

"QAQ, I must be a world protected animal in my next life!"

Subsequently, Chen Xu cut off the scorpion's poison sac and poison hook.

After finishing everything, he looked around, "Since there are fat-tailed scorpions here, it means that there are likely to be other poisonous insects coming, this camp is not like before, there is no shelter, it has not left the ground, and the fire can only block one side." ”

"So, if they come and attack me in the middle of the night, it's hard for me to guard against them, and here, we need to use a smart approach from the Saharans: the Berbers. ”

"In the desert full of poisonous insects, the Berbers have invented an effective scorpion repellent called Kochuan, which is a pungent mucus made from a mixture of various desert trees and resins, and this smell can effectively prevent scorpions from invading. ”

"Although I don't have so many conditions to make Kechuan, I can burn those dead branches into ashes, and then sprinkle these ashes nearby, although the effect will be much weaker, but at least it is better than doing nothing!"

With that, he searched for a pile of dead branches and grass from the vicinity, then took out a pair of flints from his bag, rubbed the sparks, and then lit the fire.

Wait until a small part of the branches are burned to ashes and cool.

He pinched the ashes and scattered them around the place where he was sleeping, because he was in a leeward position, and he was not afraid of being blown away by the wind so easily.

After sprinkling the scorpion repellent, Chen Xu threw the body of the North African black fat-tailed scorpion into the fire and roasted it.

This dinner is there, but the water source has not yet been found![.]
