Chapter 385: The Boy Who Digs Out the Dung (Asking for Subscription)
Chen Xu immediately walked up and took a look.
"This should be the manure of a lump of camels!"
He picked up the brownish-green round object, smelled it, and said, "The smell is still very strong, which means that it has just been pulled out, and it is still nearby!"
The audience heard Xu Ye say that he had just pulled it out, and opened his mouth in embarrassment:
", why do I think Xu Ye is so happy when he smells that he just pulled?"
"Boy digging manure!"
"Is this what you just pulled? Doesn't it, it looks like it's been going to take a long time, isn't it? Could it be that the camel is on fire?"
"Said that the camel was on fire, 666, laughed at me!"
"Camel: The newly cooked dung, five cents, is hot!"
Chen Xu looked at the barrage, and almost didn't laugh out loud, he crushed the camel feces and showed it to everyone: "This is indeed just pulled out, the reason why I did this is because the intestines of camels are very special, so their excrement is highly concentrated urine and dry feces." ”
"Moreover, camels are herbivores, and the manure they pull out is also grass waste, which is much cleaner than omnivores, so you don't have to mind so much. ”
"In the Sahara, camel dung was considered by explorers to be the finest form of velvet because it was dry and rich in forage, so it was easy to ignite. ”
Some viewers still can't accept it, thinking of holding a piece of animal feces to ignite the fire, it is better to bring a lighter!
Chen Xu threw away the dung, then looked around, and muttered: "If there is really a camel nearby, maybe I can find it, subdue it, and let him camel me to drive, in this way, not only increases the speed of the journey, but also saves a lot of physical strength and water!"
That's why he was so happy when he found out that it was camel feces that he had just excreted.
As he said, if he could really find the camel and subdue him, then there was a great hope that the fifty kilometers of the mission would be completed!
After all, in the Sahara, camels are known as the "ships of the desert"!
However, when many viewers heard Xu Ye's words, they had questions:
"Master Xu, can you find another one, wild animals are not so easy to tame, right?"
"Yes, Master Xu, my dog has been disobedient for so long since he bought it, and the wild camel is probably more stubborn, right?"
"Hahaha, it depends on Xu Ye's royal spirit!"
Chen Xu knew that the audience would definitely have questions, so he explained: "Everyone is right, wild camels are indeed difficult to tame, because they are very wild, unless they are kept in captivity for a long time, it is impossible to ride." ”
"But what you may not know is that there are no wild dromedaries in the Sahara, and yes, believe it or not, all the camels in the Sahara are all Arabs and Berbers in captivity. ”
"After hundreds of years of domestication and breeding, these dromedaries have the genes of being ridden and bred in their bones, just like the principle that domestic pigs are more honest than wild boars and have a higher meat yield, their nature has changed. ”
"I don't know why these camels broke away from the tribe, it is possible that the tribe suffered a flash flood and got separated from the camels, or it is possible that they ran away on their own, but in short, this is my chance!"
The audience listened and said that this time the posture really rose!
This was the first time they had heard that all such animals in the entire region had been domesticated, and there was not even a single wild animal.
For this reason, some people also went out of their way to search for information.
As a result, as Xu Ye said, there are only wild varieties of dromedary camels in the world, only in the Americas and Australia.
After explaining to the audience, Chen Xu began to surround the few pieces of feces, carefully searching for any traces of dromedary camels in the vicinity.
The Extreme Wilderness of the Orange Epic level gives him world-class wilderness search skills and knowledge.
In a few moments, he found several marks of dots side by side on the wasteland not far away.
"You see, this is the footprint of the dromedary, I told you before, it is a large artiodactyl, thick two fingers, is its special symbol, we walk along this route, there should be a lot of gains!"
Chen Xu touched the soil of the wasteland.
This land belongs to the rocky desert terrain, the soil is hard, in fact, it is not allowed to deliberately leave traces, even if it is left, it is easy to be blown away by the wind and sand.
This also fully illustrates that it should have just left.
On the way, he searched left and again.
It took about twenty minutes of work, and he finally found a large brown figure about 40 meters in front of him!
The audience saw through the lens of the drone that it was a large adult dromedary with brown and yellow fur.
It is probably more than three meters long, two meters high, and has a body size of 500 kilograms.
That's right, it's a giant beast!
If it wasn't a herbivore, and its wildness was domesticated and its temperament was mild, Chen Xu would never have approached it stupidly.
Unlike the camel that the audience remembers, it only has a raised hump, which is why it is called a dromedary.
At this time, it is gnawing on the desert succulents on the ground, and it is eating so much that it does not care about its surroundings.
Chen Xu pointed to its feeding behavior and explained to the audience in a low voice: "You see, this is the difference between wild and captive, its vigilance is very low, when eating, it only cares about eating, but does not observe the surrounding environment at all. ”
"This is because it has lost its alertness instinct in the environment of long-term captivity and protection, and if it is a wild animal, such as the gazelles, wild boars, honey badgers, etc. that I hunted before, they are very alert and difficult to approach!"
Some viewers posted a barrage, so it was better to just kill the camel directly.
With its size, it is enough for Chen Xuyue's food, and there is still water in the hump, which can replenish the water source.
But Chen Xu shook his head, "Regarding the hump, many people are indeed easy to make mistakes, in fact, after scientific dissection, it has been proved that there is no water in the hump, and it is all camel fat." ”
"This is what they accumulate by eating food, which is used to replenish energy at critical moments when they can't find food for a long time, and the water stored by camels is actually in the stomach, and their stomach structure is very special, with many dark sacs on it, and the water source found is generally stored there!"
"Besides, I'm only here to survive in the Sahara, and I don't want to hunt them unless I'm in extreme situations, such as the lack of food or water, which threaten my life. ”
"Although the camel is not a protected animal in the Sahara, it has saved countless human beings for thousands of years as the only means of transportation in the land of death, and from this point of view, it is actually worthy of our respect!"
