Chapter 389: Sit Up and Move on Your Own (Asking for a Monthly Pass)
When the audience saw it, they were immediately happy:
"Master Xu, I'm not afraid of you, give him two more hammers!"
"Haha, maybe it can't understand Chinese, Saharan camels, you have to speak Arabic!"
"Dromedary: want to ride me again, want me to move, MD, sit up and move yourself!"
"You guys are so dirty!"
Chen Xu scratched his head, a little embarrassed.
To be honest, it was also his first time riding a camel, but he had a lot of tame knowledge in his brain, all from the extreme wilderness.
So, he gently stroked the dromedary camel's neck, and while touching it, he said softly: "Brother, give face, let's go, if we don't leave, we will both be roasted to death by the sun!"
Some viewers almost didn't laugh out loud when they heard it.
They don't understand why Xu Ye wants to be safe for a camel, it can't understand human speech at all!
But Chen Xu shook his head and explained: "Camels are different from horses, wild horses have a very stubborn temper and need you to conquer them, but camels are different, after hundreds of years of domestication by the Saharan natives, they are very kind, patient and intelligent to people. ”
"They have their own minds, so we have to guide them patiently, instead of blindly beating and scolding, so that they will become more and more scared, so that they will not hum me!"
When the audience heard this, they suddenly realized.
And the dromedary camel really stood up under Chen Xu's petting, pursed his lips comfortably, and took the initiative to lean over and push his hand.
Many viewers saw this "contest" of man and beast, and they were very interesting.
Some fans suggested that it would be better to give this cute camel a name, and it would not be good to call it a brother all the time.
Suddenly, a lot of funny names from the audience appeared on the screen.
What "Brother Gui", "Ah Huang", "Battle Storm Beast" and so on.
Chen Xu looked at this camel, and couldn't help but think of a video of Bei Ye, which was to slaughter an old and dead camel, and as soon as he missed it, he said: "It's better to call it Lao Bei!"
After the words fell, he added: "Lao Bei, let's go!"
With that, he tugged on the reins again.
With the previous comfort, the dromedary was obviously not as nervous as it was just now, and really tried to take two steps.
Chen Xu touched its neck again and encouraged it.
And so, it went even happier.
When the audience saw it, they couldn't help but raise their eyebrows, how could they feel like walking a dog!
Also, why did Xu Ye name this camel Lao Bei?
Is it Mo Xiaobei from "Wulin Gaiden"?
Everyone speculated, and many people felt that this "Lao Bei" was probably used to commemorate an explorer friend who died of Xu Ye.
With a camel, it really feels different from walking by yourself, and it obviously saves a lot of effort.
On top of that, even if it just walked, it was more than twice as fast as he could have traveled.
Chen Xu was a little excited, with Lao Bei today, it is expected that the 50 kilometers of task one will be completed!
The Sahara is hot in the middle of the day, and the temperature is extremely high.
So, he rode his camel for a while, then found a shady boulder and rested.
After tying the reins to a piece of grass, he began to take out the lizard meat and prepare to make a fire to eat.
There are only four pieces of lizard meat left, about three catties.
Chen Xu put them all in the fire and roasted them, it had been a day and a night, and there was no need to save any more.
After all, at such a high temperature, no matter what kind of meat, it is easy to perish after a long time, especially if it is still in a backpack and not ventilated.
When he had eaten and drunk his fill, he took another look at the water source, and there was still a little more than half a pot left, enough for him to last until tomorrow morning.
During this time, with dromedary camels, his search ability will definitely be several times stronger than before, and when the time comes, he will at least be able to find the next water source.
During the three-hour break, Chen Xu was not idle.
It occurred to him that he should make a camel saddle, otherwise it would be too uncomfortable to ride for a long time.
Fortunately, the monitor lizard's small intestine is very long, and the three meters used to throw the reins are still four meters long.
So, he made a simple straw mat out of the nearby wild grass, and then used a small intestine rope to fix the mat to the back end of the hump.
In this way, with the cushion of the straw mat, he is much more comfortable to ride!
At three o'clock, Chen Xu packed up his things, pulled the camel, and began to continue on his way.
Because of the cool weather, the camel walks very fast, about five or six kilometers per hour, as long as it keeps like this, in another 5 hours, he will be able to complete task one!
However, the topography of the plateau is undulating and varied.
He didn't rejoice for long, and the cliff slope appeared again.
Fortunately, the cliff slope is not steep, it is basically a large obtuse angle, but there is a lot of gravel on it.
The dromedary took only two or three steps before it didn't move.
Chen Xu bit his lip, climbed down from the camel, looked at the surrounding environment, and said: "This cliff slope is too long, if you want to go around here, you may need to waste a lot of time, we have to go up from here!"
As he spoke, he pulled the reins and walked ahead.
"It's hard for the camel's feet to adapt to this steepness, and the sections covered with stones, especially the rocks, which are so big and so sharp, that I can't ride them anymore, so it's easy for us to fall and get hurt together!"
"It doesn't matter if I'm injured, at most I will break a little skin, but if Lao Bei is injured, it will have a great fear of the cliff face, and it will be very difficult to let it go when the time comes!"
In this way, Chen Xu personally led the way, pulling the camel, little by little, slowly shuttling on the landslide covered with stones.
Twenty minutes later, he finally climbed the slope.
The terrain in front of me is similar to that of the previous rocky desert, but there are many undulating hills, and the cover of wild grass and shrubs is higher than before.
This shows that they are approaching the plateau oasis in the middle.
Now that he had returned to the flat land, Chen Xu rode his camel again and headed southwest.
It took more than an hour to walk, and the time was already more than five o'clock in Libya.
The sun is starting to set, and the sky is getting darker.
Chen Xu roughly calculated today's distance, and it still needs to be at least 17 kilometers away from the distance required by task 1.
In other words, he had to hurry in the dark today to complete mission one.
Moreover, there is only this one chance.
Because, when we get closer to the plateau tomorrow, the terrain will be more undulating, and at that time, even if there are camels, I can't go fast!
And just when Chen Xu was thinking about the journey.
Suddenly.
Gurg——!
The dromedary actually neighed and stopped suddenly!
