Bypassing the originator of foodies, the two of them continued to walk towards the yellow savanna in the green.

In Africa, except for more beasts and snakes, it's actually quite good, at least the ground is very flat, and it's easy to walk.

So this time, it took the two of them less than three hours to walk nearly ten kilometers, and of course, this may also have something to do with their location on the edge of the Okavango River Delta.

Stepping on the savanna again, the two felt a scorching heat again.

Many people may have this feeling, at the same temperature, walking on the grass and walking on the road, the feeling is completely different, and I always feel that there is a difference of several degrees.

But the heat also has to hurry, it is about ten o'clock in the morning, and there are almost two hours before the original rest time of the two of them is twelve o'clock, so Liu Danqing said:

"Weiwei, let's continue walking for a while, I just looked at the top of the tree, this savanna is not very big, we simply crossed it, and went to rest in the green space on the other side, where there are more trees and a little shade. ”

"Okay. ”

Xiao Weiwei nodded and agreed, in the past four or five months, Xiao Weiwei's physique has long been different from the beginning of the summer vacation, walking on flat ground, even if it is a day, it can be carried by it.

Compared to the vast savannah, this savanna is very small, no more than five kilometers in diameter.

But unlike the savannah, this small savanna seems to have clumps of groves, which also shows that the groundwater resources here are more abundant than the savannah.

And there are not many animals on this grassland, and when the two of them look around, there are only a few zebras in their field of vision, and there are a few black spots in the distance.

The rest of the animals were not found, although it is possible that more animals were concentrated in the woods.

It took more than an hour for the two of them to walk through the savanna with small groves, and the black dots revealed their identities as they got closer.

It was a herd of large black buffaloes, and the number was not a few, but more than twenty.

They are surrounding a small pond, some of them frolicking in the water, while others graze on the surrounding meadows.

"That's the African buffalo, also known as the Cape of Good Hope buffalo, the African bison, one of the five great beasts of Africa. ”

Liu Danqing pointed to those buffaloes and started popular science again.

"The Big Five of Africa refer to the African lions, African elephants, African buffaloes, African leopards and black rhinos that live on the African savannah, and they are called the African Five not because of their size, but because they are the most difficult to catch with their bare hands. ”

"As you can see, these African buffaloes are huge, the largest may be about to weigh a ton, and the two horns on their heads are also very amazing, and their cluster charge is no less than the heavy cavalry charge of ancient Europe, which is invincible. ”

Xiao Weiwei sighed and said: "Alas, when I see these buffaloes, I want to eat beef, whether it is braised or boiled, fried steak and grilled steak, I really want to eat it!"

Liu Danqing smiled when he heard this: "In the African savannah, if you want to eat beef, the target is still the wildebeest, that is, the horned horse is more reliable, these African buffaloes, that is, even the lions dare not provoke the existence." ”

"And these big guys are endangered wild animals, and wildebeest are not endangered animals."

Xiao Weiwei had another question and asked, "I've only heard of wildebeest, you are always called wildebeest, I feel so embarrassed to hear it!"

"They are animals of the subfamily Bovidae, and they have little to do with horses, but we are influenced by the names imagined by the authoritative media, and we call them wildebeests, but this is the wrong name. ”

"Now I'm here to make a little promise, to try my best to hunt a wildebeest and satisfy Xiao Weiwei's desire to eat beef. ”

When Xiao Weiwei, a foodie, heard this, she immediately looked relieved, and emphasized: "It's not about trying, but about sure, you must hunt a wildebeest." ”

Liu Danqing could only smile helplessly this time: "Okay, good, it must be, but it's ......."

"No ifs!"

Well, Liu Danqing didn't dare to speak, and in front of a foodie, he once again decisively confessed.

Coming to a small forest, the two of them took a look at the surrounding situation, especially the tree branches, which were the focus of the scanning area.

The African leopard refers to these leopards that prefer to stay in trees, also known as leopards, and they like to sneak up on their opponents, while the Cheetah cheetah, another leopard in Africa, likes to stay in the open and hunt for food through their super-fast speed.

Compared to the speedy cheetah, the Assassin leopard is naturally more dangerous and more difficult to catch.

After confirming that it was safe, the two of them drew the fire out, and then continued to put some sparks in the poop to keep the fire fold working.

The next thing is naturally to boil water, drink water, chat and fart.

Knowing that it was more than two o'clock in the afternoon and almost three o'clock in the afternoon, Liu Danqing and Xiao Weiwei set foot on the trip again.

In fact, from a high altitude, the two did not cross the Okavango River Delta, but limited by the conditions, it was helpless that the route of the two was a little skewed.

Now they are faced with a new problem, and they have a swamp in front of them.

It's a bit inaccurate to say it's a swamp, or it's a smaller version of the river.

In front of them was a large shoal less than ten meters wide, on which a lot of papyrus grew.

In front of the shoals is a river, which is not very wide, about 10 meters long.

On the other side of the river, as on this side, there is a shallow beach overgrown with papyrus.

"Embarrassed!"

Liu Danqing looked at the river and said depressedly: "If you are somewhere else, it is very easy to cross this small river, but here, in the Okavango River swamp, it is simply half a moat." ”

"The water looks very muddy, which is evidence of the active nature of the water, including hippos, Nile crocodiles and the legendary giant tiger fish. ”

"Now it seems that no hippos have been found in this section of water, and we will now do a small test to see if there are any other dangers near this section of the river. ”

Liu Danqing turned the spear upside down and gently knocked on the water.

"This is the way Africans hunt Nile crocodiles, using branches to smack the surface of the water to simulate the sound of animals drinking water. ”

"Nile crocodiles have very good hearing and can hear sounds from kilometers away, which makes them hungry despite their huge appetite. ”

"And the memory of the Nile crocodile is very good, when the millions of wildebeest migrate, they will gather in the area where the wildebeest crosses the river, and when the wildebeest starts to cross the river, they start a crazy and bloody killing feast. ”

With Liu Danqing's introduction, time passed slowly, and there was still no movement on the river.

Xiao Weiwei asked boredly: "Qingqing, is there a Nile crocodile, why don't we go and find a way to cross the river like this." ”

Liu Danqing also felt that his approach was a bit stupid, not to mention whether he could attract the Nile crocodile, what if he did, could he still risk hunting it in shallow water?

So he put away his spear and was about to shout for Xiao Weiwei to leave, but Xiao Weiwei pointed not far away and said, "Qingqing, look there, the aquatic plants are moving, could it be that the Nile crocodile is coming?"

Liu Danqing also looked over, and saw that about thirty meters away, some of the papyrus near the middle of the river seemed to have been touched by something and shook unnaturally.

"Hey, I didn't expect the crocodile to come so quickly, Weiwei, you wait, I'll lead the crocodile to the audience, many of the audience should have never seen a Nile crocodile. ”

Sure enough, as Liu Danqing continued to tap the water with the tail of his spear, the papyrus in front of him began to separate to the sides, and then an olive-green crocodile's back appeared in front of the audience.

Liu Danqing waited for the crocodile to swim three or four meters in front of him, and he began to retreat, and at the same time, the tail of the spear also slowly retreated until it tapped the water against the shore.

The crocodile did not care, but pounced on the shore, opening its mouth to the tail of the spear.

At this moment, even Liu Danqing was taken aback, and hurriedly took two steps back, and at the same time raised the spear in his hand, narrowly escaping the big mouth of the Nile crocodile.

Seeing that the food escaped, the Nile crocodile had no intention of giving up, and rushed directly onto the river bank and pounced towards Liu Danqing.

It seems that this Nile crocodile is also domineering in this waters, and he doesn't care about chasing and killing him, without the slightest hesitation.

Fortunately, Liu Danqing retreated quickly, and when he saw the crocodile pounce, he hurriedly retreated a few steps, and at the same time flipped the spear in his hand and pushed it towards the crocodile's snout.

The crocodile pounced very violently, directly rushing most of its body onto the river bank, and then it sprinted again, and its huge tail stirred in the water, producing a strong thrust, and pounced towards Liu Danqing again.

Fortunately, Liu Danqing's spear had already reached the crocodile's snout, and he borrowed the crocodile's strength and retreated a few meters back again.

And the crocodile was so pushed by Liu Danqing that he felt uncomfortable in his kiss, and immediately twisted his neck, shook his head, and shook off the tip of the spear, but this sprint was inevitably interrupted.

Seeing the crocodile coming ashore, Liu Danqing was not in a hurry to run, he knew that the Nile crocodile was huge, so it was the explosive power of the two starts, as long as he couldn't rush up, there was no hope of catching up with him after he went ashore.

"Weiwei, let's slaughter it together!"

Liu Dan shouted at Xiao Weiwei, "You come and use the spear to attract its attention." ”

Facing this Nile crocodile, which is more than four meters or five meters long, Xiao Weiwei is not stage frightened, she walks over with a spear and stabs the tip of the spear directly into the eyes of the Nile crocodile.

Seeing this, the Nile crocodile quickly turned its head and flashed the tip of the spear, and then opened its mouth and bit Xiao Weiwei's spear.

Seeing this, Liu Danqing took the opportunity to lift the spear and pierce it towards the eyes of the Nile crocodile, but because the Nile crocodile's neck was very flexible, it was not pierced.

However, they are not in a hurry, the speed and agility of the Nile crocodile on the shore are not enough, and the two can grind slowly.

Unexpectedly, they were not in a hurry, but the Nile crocodile was in a hurry, took advantage of a U-turn, rushed into the river with a "poof", and disappeared in a blink of an eye.

"Dizzy! This crocodile is too cowardly, it has become a sperm, and when it sees that the situation is wrong, retreat immediately!"

Liu Danqing and Xiao Weiwei, who wanted to hunt Nile crocodiles, looked at each other depressedly and complained.
