Chapter 374: Is This an Iron Sand Palm?(4.2K, Ask for Subscription!)
Early morning.
In the meadow, the humidity is diffuse, and the mist is like a veil of steam.
In such a gloomy and hazy environment, it is not easy to discern the right way forward.
When you wake up, the chaos around you is enough to confuse your head.
Come to the waterhole.
Lin Feng casually cut off a thin vine, found a place where the water level was still shallow on the left, and slowly walked in.
After wading into the center, he stood firm, pointed to the water, and said:
"The secret of Siminole's discernment is all in these waters, and if you use a little trick, the river will tell us the correct answer. β
As he spoke, he erected a pathfinder, plunged it into the mud at the bottom of the river, and then pulled out the fine vine, tied it in an overhand knot, and put it on a stick.
"In fact, this large swampy belt is equivalent to a freshwater river about 80 kilometers wide, which flows day and night, from north to south, and finally flows into the sea. β
"Almost every river in the southern swamps follows this pattern, rarely deviates, and most of the time, it goes all the way south, but very slowly. β
"Therefore, with the help of flowing water, we can first judge a general direction, and then combine the forest, climate and other conditions, and maybe we can find the correct answer. β
As he spoke, Lin Feng took the kettle in his hand, tied it to one end of the thin vine, and walked around the pathfinder to let it float on the water.
"The next thing we have to do is take a closer look at the trajectory of the kettle and see where it ends up. β
"In that direction, that's south. β
"Okay, you don't have to stay here all the time, just come by every once in a while. β
After returning to the camp, Lin Feng removed the four fulcrums of the bonfire and extinguished it.
After that, the hammock was cleaned up.
"It's not easy to make a hammock once, it's better to take it with you in case you need it. β
"A hammock can act as a rucksack when not in use, and if your backpack breaks down, it can help you solve big problems. β
With that, he untied the hammock, folded the two sides together along the longitudinal centerline, and tightened it between the gaps in the edges with a thin vine, tightened the seal, and carried it over his shoulder.
"Look. β
"In this way, the hammock becomes a backpack that can help you store some unnecessary gear, which is very practical. If you need to set up camp at night, just pull out the rattan at the edge. β
Half an hour later.
Everything is in order.
Lin Feng walked into the river again.
At this time, more than thirty minutes had passed, and the kettle had long since changed direction and stayed in one direction.
Nothing moved.
"Brothers, do you see?"
"After a period of precipitation, the undercurrent in the pond floated to a relatively stable position with the kettle, so this direction is the south. β
However, for the sake of insurance, it is better to judge in combination with other circumstances, so that the accuracy will be greatly improved. If you look at the woods here, the south side is always more lush than the north side, and from this, we can conclude that the south is probably ...... On my right-hand side. β
Seeing this, the audience in the live broadcast room finally opened their mouths and understood Lin Feng's intentions.
"Geographic Maple is online!"
"666, Master Feng taught you n ways to discern the direction!"
"It's hard to get lost!"
"It's too troublesome, Feng Ye will bring me next time in the live broadcast, I'll bring a compass!"
"The shell lang beat the five dogs on the other side and gave the anchor 100 bugsββ the anchor is good 6!"
"The breeze floating in the dimension gave the anchor 100 bugsββ Feng Ye, did you ignore the geostrophic deflection force?"
"I'm a dashing ranger who gave the anchor a shelterββ wouldn't it be miserable if the river would bend?"
Glancing at the barrage, Lin Feng said with a smile: "The situations that everyone is worried about do exist, and they are even very common. β
"After all, it's the wild, and there are still a lot of variables. β
"That's why when you're judging the direction, you need to make a comprehensive analysis in combination with other situations. Only in this way can the most correct conclusion be reached. β
With that, he walked out into the river, pulled his pathfinder from the bottom of the pool, returned to the camp, filled the jug, and continued his quest for survival.
Jump over the grass and head south.
The terrain here is very confusing.
The grass under his feet, half green and half yellow, high and low, deep and shallow.
In the forest, there are miscellaneous trees and vines, covering the sky and the sun.
For a while, the atmosphere was not depressing.
Lin Feng said as he walked: "Although it feels like it may be safer here than in Lin Zedi, if you let your guard down, it will also be very dangerous. β
"Especially in such shades of grass, if you don't keep it even, something will come out from under your feet and bite you your thigh. β
One second.
As he was talking, he swept his eyes away, and suddenly found a long yellow-green snake with diamond-shaped brown spots all over its body in the grass in the distance!
Seeing this, the drone instantly understood and slowly retracted the lens.
Lin Feng's face changed, and he pointed to the long snake and said:
"Brothers, see what this is?"
Through the camera, the audience naturally saw this scene.
"666, the snake girl is here!"
"The enemy of life is online!"
"Old snake girl, run, there are eyes in the grass, Master Feng has already discovered you!"
"Nakano linkage, one death and one send!"
"The dragon turtle has just gotten down, and the snake girl is coming to block the way!"
"I'll go, it's a little scary, what kind of snake is this?"
While the audience was discussing, Lin Feng had already come to the edge of the grass, kept an appropriate distance from it, and raised his pathfinder stick, pointed to the entrenched long snake, and said slowly:
"It's a rattlesnake. β
"They are the most venomous snakes in all of North America, not one of them! Every year, hundreds of hikers die under their fangs. β
"This guy has a very wide range, about 2 meters, so we can't get any closer, this position is just right. β
"If it's even closer than half an inch, its hot-eye system will sense the temperature difference and give the brain a hunting command. β
The rattlesnake's "hot eye", which grows between the eyes and the nostrils, is a place called the buccal fossa, 5 mm deep and about 1 cm long. β
As he spoke, Lin Feng began to control the lens and take macro shots.
"The cheek socket is flared, and the mouth is diagonally facing forward, and it is divided into two parts, the inner part by a thin tube, which communicates with the outside world, so that the temperature inside is the same as the temperature of the environment around which the snake is located. β
"The outer part is different, it's a heat collector, and if there's a hot object passing in the direction of the flare mouth, the infrared light passes through and hits the outer side of the film. β
At this point, the nerve endings scattered throughout the membrane sense the temperature difference and generate a bioelectric current that is transmitted to the snake's brain. The snake knows where there is a hot object in front of it, and its brain immediately sends out a corresponding 'command' to capture the object. β
"So, this thing is really not a guy to mess with, it has super perceptual ability, even the slightest wind and grass will make it show sharp fangs!"
"666, Erudite Kaede!"
"What did the anchor do before, how do you understand anything?"
"You know so well, awesome!"
"I just want to ask, can rattlesnakes be eaten? Is it also chicken-flavored? How many times more protein than beef?"
"Beef: MMP"
Lin Feng bent down and began to retreat slowly little by little, and said at the same time:
"Friends, if you suddenly come across it in the wild, remember to be quiet enough, take your hands and feet, and then slowly retreat. β
"Keep your eyes on it during the retreat, and don't turn away and leave your back to it. β
However.
Just as Lin Feng was retreating, in the meadow in front of him, there was a sound of "rattling"!
"Quack, gala!"
The sound is long and crisp, and it is very real to hear.
"Master Feng, there is a situation!"
"Oh my God, what's the sound?"
"The rattlesnake is barking!"
Lin Feng was stunned for a moment, and said in a deep voice: "This is the sound of a rattlesnake swinging its tail ring. β
"This tail ring is the remnant of their multiple molts, and whenever they encounter an enemy or danger, they will quickly swing their tail and make this sound, so that the enemy does not dare to approach. Of course, this is where the rattlesnake got its name. β
As he spoke, he looked in the direction of the serpent.
The sound of gala is not diminishing but strong, and at the same time it is getting more and more urgent!
"Brothers, this snake may have spotted us, get out of here. β
After walking away, Lin Feng said as he walked: "Rattlesnakes will make sounds, which can make you prophetic and vigilant, but most poisonous snakes and fierce beasts will never give you this kind of signal, what they are good at is sudden attacks." β
"So, when walking in this kind of grass, you must always keep an eye on your feet and surroundings, and don't think that it is safer than the woods, this is a big mistake. β
By this time, it had come to 7 o'clock in the morning.
After avoiding the poisonous snake, Lin Feng continued to walk into the depths of the swamp.
The mist lifted, but the sky was still overcast.
In an instant, there seemed to be more trees around him.
The green leaves at the tips are connected into a piece, swaying with the wind, making people's hearts itch.
After walking forward for a while, when passing by an oak tree, Lin Feng's eyes suddenly flashed, as if he had found something.
In the next second, he slowly squatted down and said solemnly to the camera:
"Ladies and gentlemen, rattlesnakes aren't the only threat in the meadows, there are even bigger carnivores. β
"Normally, when people think of the southern swamps, they think of crocodiles and venomous snakes, but in fact, the most dominant species in this body of water is probably the American black bear!"
The words fell, and the camera turned to the oak tree!
I saw that there was a huge paw print on the pale yellow bark!
"Ladies and gentlemen, I can guarantee that this palm print is definitely left by the American black bear. β
As he spoke, Lin Feng put his palm up and gestured, and then continued:
"Judging by the size of the palm print, this should be an adult male bear. The American black bear is a solitary animal, and it is no surprise to come across it during the day during the summer of the year. β
In addition, the American black bear's tree-climbing skills are very strong, and this palm print is a good proof of this. β
Sure enough, there were more than one palm print, and there were also on the treetops.
However, this is not the point, the point is that the destroyed bark fibers are almost all new stubble.
Based on that alone, it can be concluded that this guy should have just left here.
"Brothers, it should have just left, maybe now, this black bear, is in front of us. β
As he spoke, the drone gave a close-up of the bear paw print.
When the audience saw this, they exploded in an instant.
", if this slap is slapped on someone, the consequences will be unimaginable!"
"Such a sour palm!"
"Bald Qiang: Xiong Da and Xiong Er are here to cut down trees again!"
"Is this an iron sand palm?"
"If you want to slap this, can you still live?"
Seeing that everyone was a little surprised, Lin Feng explained: "If you are hit by an adult black bear and hit the vital point with a slap, there is almost no chance of survival. β
"The American black bear, the third largest bear in the bear family, is smaller than the polar bear and the brown bear. It is the fifth largest carnivore of our time after polar bears, brown bears, tigers, and lions, ranking fifth among all existing terrestrial carnivores!"
"In the last century, there was a large-scale black bear attack in Alaska. The protagonists of the event are the Sioux people who live in the jungle all year round, and every autumn, the Sioux people organize a hunt for elk, cut off the deer skins, and then exchange horses with the Sibanya people. β
"At that time, there were more than twenty people in this hunting party, and each of them had muskets, but in the end, it was only because they provoked a few black bears looking for food, and finally the whole army was wiped out. β
"So, even if you have guns, don't provoke them, or you'll definitely regret it. β
After saying that, Lin Feng got up and left here, continuing to walk all the way forward, always paying attention to the movements around him.
The American black bear is extremely territorial and widespread.
The territory of the female bear is about thirty or forty square kilometers.
And some male bears, even one, will sit on a territory of 100 square kilometers.
The traces left by the black bear made Lin Feng's heart rise all at once.
Right now, he only has a broken stick and a carbon steel knife, and if he encounters a black bear unexpectedly, it would be tantamount to a fool's dream to get out with only these two weapons.
Not to mention, a surprise attack.
Thinking of this, he frowned, his eyes lit up, he didn't dare to slack off for a second, and walked forward slowly.
"Boom la la ββ!"
Then.
In the distance, there was a sudden rattling sound in a bush.
Immediately after, a tall black shadow emerged from among the shredded leaves!
Seeing this, Lin Feng hurriedly squatted down and hid himself in the grass.
"Damn, what's the situation?"
"The bear is coming!"
"Damn, I see it, it's in that pile of trees!"
"Master Feng, go back the way you came!"
Looking at the noisy barrage, Lin Feng shook his head and said in a low voice: "I'm only twenty meters away from this guy, and it's not a good way to go back the same way." The most important thing now is not to make a noise so as not to alarm it, and not to retreat rashly. β
"Don't worry, let's wait a little longer, and then come out when it's far away. β
As he spoke, Lin Feng continued to lower his figure, trying not to expose himself.
Seeing that it was not safe here, he found another place where the vegetation was still quite abundant, and quietly got in.
Two minutes later.
After adjusting his posture, he was in the grass, quietly raising his eyes and looking for the black bear.
It's just that.
I don't know if I don't look at it.
I was shocked when I saw it!
At this time.
The big guy in the distance had already stepped out of the bushes and was slowly approaching him......
