Chapter 158 [River of Monsters]
These two cape gannets are not small, with a body length of 50 cm and a width of 1.2 meters when they spread their wings. Pen Γ fun Γ Pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ Info is the middle size of their group.
Look at this seabird up close, with its smooth feathers and a little yellow feathers on its head, and its long neck, like a proud swan. The large and pointed beak and wedge-shaped tail set off its fishing posture more vividly, and its slender body, strong chest and abdomen all show its elegant posture and demeanor as a seabird.
However, Chen Ergou simply and directly in front of tens of millions of sailors, he did something very unsightly.
He simply plucked the bird's feathers, leaving a mess of bird feathers behind the raft.
The audience was speechless, watching his skillful movements, it was not practiced overnight, and for no reason it reminded people of the feeling of plucking ducks in a restaurant kitchen.
It seems that he has eaten these two seabirds, but how should seabirds be cooked...... Should a cape gannet be considered a goose? Or a seabird? Why not have a plate of BJ roast goose?!
Chen Ergou plucked out the thick bird feathers, and the cape gannet was already full of gravy and fat, and with a wave of the jungle knife along the belly, a large piece of internal organs had been pulled out, and there were several small fish the size of a palm.
With good food, he doesn't even have time to worry about his surroundings.
Letting the raft flow down with the waves gives you a sense of being at peace with what you encounter.
One was cleaned up, and when the other one was cleaned, two palm-length fish and six unformed egg yolks were dug out of the stomach, "Ha, it's still a pot-bellied woman, it seems that you have a good mouth tonight." β
He laughed happily, cut a few knife marks on the bird's meat, smeared some salt on the skin and wounds of the bird's flesh, and salted it first to prevent it from rotting in the hot weather.
Then he rolled a parachute cloth and put it directly into his backpack, and said with a smile: "Friends, I can already foresee that there will be a sumptuous dinner tonight waiting to reward my tired me." β
"With the ingredients in front of me, I immediately thought of how to make several foods, including spiced bird meat and braised sea goose. Egg goose meat, white-cut sea goose and so on. β
The person who said it was going to drool, and it was on the river, otherwise he might have to make a fire on the spot to cook at once.
Experienced viewers have already decided that they must have a good meal tonight, so as not to go hungry again in the middle of the night.
Looking at the horizon, the western clouds have begun to turn red, and the fruit bats, which have begun to move in the evening, have begun to appear in the sky above the jungle and chirp non-stop. Chen Ergou also has to start thinking about where to dock tonight so that he can rest for the night.
Chen Ergou didn't know where he was now, so he took out a special oil-paper map from the inside of his backpack.
The sailors can see very clearly that there is a fine three-dimensional map of the Congo rainforest printed on the front of the oiled paper, on which several locations are specially marked, and a complex red route is used in the middle to indicate the general direction of progress, and several locations are specially circled.
On the back of the oiled paper, the parchment map brought back from Morocco was suddenly printed.
Many people have speculated, "Is the so-called map treasure location in the Congo?", "Does the treasure map really exist?", "No wonder this trip chose to venture here." "Master Dog, you are hiding so deeply!" ......
Chen Ergou had reminded him before he started, and everyone didn't pay attention to it.
Treasure is an attractive topic after all, not to mention the hype that has been around for a while. Many people thought it was just a hype gimmick, but they didn't expect it to be put into action now.
The sailors suddenly looked forward to it, after all, Chen Ergou had just found a diamond from a primitive tribesman's secret room, didn't he?!
Chen Ergou looked at the map for a long time and reloaded it back into the depths of his backpack.
During the period, I encountered those diamonds, which inevitably caused a burst of redness, "Look at the goods!"
"Look at the goods, you think Honghu F4 is catching bamboo rats and eels. Chen Ergou didn't have a good breath, but he still put the four big diamonds that blinded countless people in the palm of his hand and showed them once.
It's so beautiful, you can't get tired of looking at it.
Even if you don't get anything from this trip, with these four diamonds, you will make a lot of money.
Chen Ergou smiled faintly, didn't look at it more, shook it a few times and put it back into his backpack after satisfying his appetite, and said, "I'm on the Congo River now, and after entering the mainstream, this vast river has accelerated its pace. Starting from where I landed, and calculating the distance I walked yesterday, it should now be flowing through the territory of the Democratic Republic of the Congo. β
"There should be a branch not far ahead, and the Congo River is cut into two sections by a sandbar island in the center of the river, and one of the tributaries is called the Lualaba River. Twenty miles from its source, it crosses the equatorial Kishangani and then runs to the edge of the world that the Congolese believe they are. There is the famous David Livingston Falls, the terminus of the rushing river, from where the branching Lualaba River joins again into the vast Congo River basin, the second half of which is a river shared by nature and trade!"
"And the area around that waterfall is the second area I'm going to explore. β
Scientists have analyzed that the Congo River itself may be a canyon, with a crack in the ground and rainwater collecting to fill it. That's why it's so profound.
The bed of the Congo River is not mud and sand, but hard stone. The specifics cannot be examined, but its profundity is recognized by the world.
"Speaking of the character of David Livingston, I have also studied it for a while. He was a British explorer, a missionary, the discoverer of the famous Victoria Falls and Lake Malawi, one of the greatest figures of African exploration, and an idol of all explorers. In the future, if I have time, I will tell you his story. β
After roughly determining the direction, he began to steer the raft closer to the shore.
However, in the wilderness, the surrounding environment is also ever-changing, and you can't afford to be careless at any time, especially if this is the Congo River Valley.
At this moment, "Moo~~~!"
An earth-shattering roar suddenly exploded over the river, startling the surrounding jungle with birds. The audience in the live broadcast room was even more so, and they were shocked by the sudden roar and didn't come back to their senses for a long time.
Especially those headphones, stereos, and audiences with loud volumes almost tingle their ears.
Even Chen Ergou, who was on the river, was stunned, and then became alert. His hearing was good, let alone such a huge beast roar. Let him catch this sound almost immediately, and the tiredness of his whole body dissipated without a trace in an instant, replaced by the tightness of every pore in his body!
Quickly close the opening of the backpack and tie it firmly around your waist.
Grabbing the wood pulp in his hand, the knife sharpened the tip of the wood pulp a few times to make a simple spear.
This solemn posture made the audience in the live broadcast room explode-
"it, why don't I have a long memory, why do I always like to watch the live broadcast of the dog master with a loud voice. All of a sudden, it almost didn't scare me to the ground. My old waist. β
"5555, it's scary. What a monster, the baby is so scared. β
"I also heard it, while watching the live broadcast of the dog master, while reading the novel of Xiangrui Yumei, I scared the baby so much that I almost peed!"
"What's it? Hippopotamus?"
"It's not a monster, maybe it's the sound of a whirlpool. β
"Be careful, dog. β
"Nuclear energy ahead!"
β¦β¦
Not only are the sailors nervous, but the younger brother and other team members who are nervously watching his adventure behind him are even more headless flies, but they are sad to find that even if they follow Africa, they can't do anything.
Chen Ergou was quite calm, standing on the raft, holding a long wooden spear in one hand, staring closely at the abnormal movement on the river.
"Friendsβ"
"I'm a little nervous right now, and judging from my knowledge of walking in the wilderness, this animal that can make such a huge roar on the surface of the water must be quite large. That said, there must be a beast with a huge voice watching below the river right now. β
"Unfortunately, I don't know what it is, if it's aggressive, why is it making a loud roar, is it a casual roar, or is it warning me not to go near its territory, let me get out of it quickly!"
Shaking his head, "Can't judge!"
"It is the second largest freshwater river in the world after the Amazon River, but it is the deepest river in the world. At its deepest, it may be more than 1,300 meters deep, which is much deeper than some trenches. Humans have never really explored what's in it, and even if a monster does emerge, I'm not surprised. β
"But I'm ...... now"
Suddenly, his eyes stared at the direction of an abnormal wave on the water surface, his body was suddenly lowered, and he shouted in a low voice, "It's coming!"
