Chapter 692: Using a Little Trick (Asking for Subscription)
Chen Xu can take action to remind the dwarf rhinoceros, which is already very conscientious, after all, he came to Borneo to live broadcast to survive, not to protect animals.
Therefore, this is already considered to be benevolent and righteous.
Although there was an accident with the Comodo Dragon, it didn't actually delay much time.
An hour later, Chen Xu not only remade the fishing rod and pike, but also hit two fat rodents, which were charred on the outside and tender on the inside.
According to him, rodents are arguably the most successful branch in the history of vertebrate evolution, with more species than all other mammal species combined, reproducing so quickly that there is no fear of extinction.
After replenishing his energy, he packed up his things and began to follow yesterday's route, preparing to return to the middle and upper reaches of the Bartoli River, and continue to search for the mysterious creature of yesterday.
Because he has a goal, he no longer has to observe his surroundings while hurrying like before.
So, this time, it only took me more than an hour to reach the cliff waterfall where I fell yesterday.
After climbing up, Chen Xu still followed yesterday's routine, cut down a tree of the Kapok family, made a raft, and then coated it with dipterocarp resin, sunscreen, and taste.
However, after everything was ready, he did not rush into the water.
"Catiformes over 2.5 meters have huge strength and amazing attack power, such as fork-tailed catfish, there are hundreds of teeth alone, and all of them are sharp fangs, as long as I bite it, it is enough to make my flesh blur. ”
"In addition, catiformes belong to the class of bony fishes, and the heads and bones of fish are very hard, I am afraid that even the dart heads made of iron trees are difficult to effectively kill them, such as the alligator gar, whose body is covered with a layer of enamel hard phosphorus, just like armor. ”
"So, for the sake of safety, and to increase our hunting success rate, I'm going to use a little trick, that is: poison!"
Chen Xu's last sentence suddenly reminded the audience of the previous live broadcast.
When Xu Ye was fishing in the Shennongjia forest before, he used plants containing rotenone, which is very harmful to the human body, but it is highly toxic to aquatic organisms and insects, so it is widely used in insecticides.
"It seems that a lot of the audience remembered. ”
After responding, Chen Xu searched along the bushes by the river, over and over again, "Not only rotenone, but also drunken fish grass, which is also one of the common plants in the subtropical and tropical regions of Asia. ”
"Drunken fish grass, also known as crowtail grass, is weak in toxicity, and when it is mashed and put into water, it can release a large number of flavonoids, which can anesthetize live fish and make it easy to catch, so it is called drunken fish grass. ”
"The effect is almost the same, but the latter is safer and more common than the former, so we can take a little more spare, not only on the pike, but also when we catch it, we can also put it into the water. ”
So, Chen Xu walked around for most of the circle and cut down two bundles of drunken fish grass.
This drunken fish grass looks like an ordinary plant, with a string of purple flower spikes growing on its head, which looks like lavender.
He found a large stone, smashed it all, and applied the juice to each of the pikes, and the rest was wrapped in leaves as a "poison bomb" at the critical moment.
With these preparations, Chen Xu returned to the river, rode the raft, and began to look for the mysterious creature.
But after walking around, there was no movement under the entire river.
Isn't that mysterious creature here?
Some viewers can't help but worry that if this big fish disappears, there will be no good show to watch.
In this regard, Chen Xu explained: "In the daytime environment without heavy rain, generally large fish will choose to lurk at the bottom of the river to rest, and only come out to hunt at night, so we still have to use small fish to catch big fish!"
So, he paddled to the lake from yesterday, preparing to catch a small fish with bait and then use the small fish to lure the mysterious creature out.
Fortunately, the entrails of the rodents hunted in the morning were still there.
After Chen Xu dealt with it, he threw the thorn hook into the water and began fishing.
At the moment, it was close to twelve o'clock in the afternoon Indonesian time, and the sunlight was shining directly on his body, and after the reflection of dipterocarp resin, it emitted white light.
The temperature of the surrounding environment is close to about 30 degrees Celsius.
It's hot.
But he was still staring very seriously at the lake.
About ten minutes later, there was a sudden movement on the fishing line.
"Something has taken the bait!"
Chen Xu's eyes narrowed, and he immediately shook the palm bamboo fishing rod, disrupting its resistance power.
Perhaps because it was a small fish, he finally shook it easily, and a blue-black figure jumped up from below and landed on the raft.
It is a long, flattened fish, about 25 centimeters in size, and unlike the redfin crucian carp, it has a vertical flat shape, somewhat like the common catfish sold in the fish market, but without whiskers on the sides.
"666, is it the child of that mysterious creature yesterday?"
"Little Catfish: Let me go, or my dad will come and bite you to death!"
"Don't say it's your father, it's your grandfather, and Master Xu will eat it too!"
Chen Xu looked at the barrage and sneered, "Everyone is mistaken, this is not a catfish, but a snakehead, yes, it has the same sound as a carp, but it is much more ferocious than the latter." ”
As he spoke, he grabbed the snakehead's gills and made it open its mouth.
If the "human teeth" of the freshwater pomfret are scary enough, then the teeth of the snakehead in front of you are even more terrifying.
Not only are they about the same number and arrangement as human teeth, but the most terrifying thing is that they are all sharp cones that look like shark teeth.
"The snakehead is not really large, but its teeth are like sharp blades, and it can easily sawn off the flesh to make up for its size, and it is one of several freshwater fish known to attack humans. ”
"In particular, they are extremely fierce when protecting the juveniles, fortunately I reel the line relatively quickly, otherwise, if I give it more than ten seconds, this fishing line woven from the bark will be bitten by it!"
Chen Xu pressed the snakehead on the raft and picked up the fishing rod.
Sure enough, the fishing line at the hook position has been worn out a lot, and it really looks like it has been cut by a saw.
Subsequently, he also took out the tracker according to the method of yesterday, killed the snakehead and bled it.
While dealing with it, Chen Xu continued to speak: "Don't think that the teeth of the snakehead are powerful, the crocodile mouth of the alligator gar is much more powerful than it, and if the one we encountered yesterday is really a catiformes, there are four or five columns of sharp teeth alone, hundreds of them!"
