Chapter 163: The Running Ostrich

The afternoon sun was very hot, Chen Hu and Brother Pingtou rested for more than an hour after lunch, avoiding the hottest time period of noon, and then added some dry firewood to the fire, and then packed up their things and set off. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info

This time, Chen Hu did not return to the pond, but walked directly from the south to the west, and at the same time opened the progress schedule of the exploration mission.

【Exploration Quest - Progress】

East: 10/50km

South: 22/50km

West: 15/50km

North: 11/50km

The exploration progress on the side of the new camp is almost half completed, but there is a mountain gorilla level on the hill, I am afraid it will be difficult to continue exploring, and Chen Hu can only put it in the back first.

Looking at the task list, Chen Hu couldn't help but ask:

"System, can I make notes on the task?"

[Absolutely.] 】

"Why didn't you say it earlier?" Chen Hu was a little speechless, and the system replied leisurely:

[Task-related functions, please explore by yourself.] 】

If it weren't for the live broadcast room, Chen Hu really wanted to put up a middle finger, and then clicked on the southern exploration column and filled in the things he found in the form of silent recitation.

South: 22/50km

Spotted: African elephant (roaming), baobab (camp), sisal, grass fruit, highland, mountain gorilla (dangerous)

After entering, Chen Hu filled in the animals and plants found in the other three directions while exploring to the west, and now the west he went to explored once the day before yesterday.

In addition to birds, antelopes, and rodents such as hares and ground squirrels, only two large populations have been found.

During this afternoon's exploration, it was very likely that he would encounter predators, and Chen Hu had already prepared in his heart, so he carried all the obsidian daggers and ox bone double hammers with him before setting off.

At this moment, Chen Hu is constantly relaying the few shrubs on the grassland, and at the same time whipping the military kettle, in the sound of knocking, some small animals are frightened away from time to time.

After chasing a ground squirrel failed, Brother Pingtou lost his interest in hunting, and simply hugged Chen Hu's left foot and looked at the scenery.

An hour later, Chen Hu had stopped tapping on the military kettle because he had rushed to the place where the African bison herd had been last spotted, but there was no African bison on the ground around him, except for some cow dung.

Chen Hu knew that these large herbivores must have wandered elsewhere, and then continued to move forward, and after a while, they arrived at the place where they had last seen a group of hounds.

I saw that five or six adult hounds were lying on the ground outside a burrow, and some beagles were sticking their heads out of the burrow, looking like they wanted to go out to play but were afraid of being blamed.

Seeing this, Chen Hu, who was hiding in the grass in the distance, did not smile, it was estimated that the large army of the hounds went out to hunt, and the remaining five or six adult hounds stayed behind to protect the cubs.

Then, Chen Hu bypassed the hound's lair in front of him and continued to explore towards the west, while banging on the military kettle again.

"Is it necessary for Master Tiger to ring the kettle like this? Isn't this telling others that he is here?"

"Upstairs, the question you said, Qiaqia is what the tiger master wants, he just wants to tell the animals hidden in the shadows that there are humans coming, not being passive. ”

"It's strange that there are still people who don't understand the truth of scaring snakes!"

"Of course I understand the reason, but I always feel that this is looking for death. ”

"Looking for death, hehe, if you don't beat the drum to make a noise, you just wait to be attacked by a beast. ”

……

Seeing the barrage, Chen Hu couldn't help but explain:

"As you explore further, you will definitely encounter some predators who are good at camouflage and lurking, and human beings are in danger everywhere in the wilderness, making noise, and it is also a kind of self-protection, although in the eyes of some friends, this is a superfluous move, or it will expose itself. ”

"But without noise, wouldn't predators be able to spot humans? In fact, they can spot you from hundreds of meters or even kilometers away by smell, so instead of being passively ambushed, it is better to tell those predators that I am here!"

As soon as these two sentences were spoken, they were immediately recognized by many tourists.

"It's called being prepared and untroubled, you know an egg!"

"233, I just like the way the tiger master dies!"

"Against upstairs, this is not death, but prevention!"

Chen Hu smiled, beat the gong and drum, and continued to move forward, but it didn't take long for him to stop, and several tall ostriches appeared on the steppe in the distance before.

Although they were still hundreds of meters away, the sound of his kettle was alarmed, and the big ostriches with black bodies and white wings immediately flew away in the opposite direction.

The speed is comparable to that of a speeding car, and Chen Hu can't catch up even if he shoots a horse.

Those adult ostriches, whose height is nearly two and a half meters, each step out of the three or four meters away, only to watch the live broadcast room in the tourists shocked, although many ostriches have been seen in the zoo, but where can you see ostriches flying in the natural environment?

Seeing this, Chen Hu couldn't help but explain:

"Ostriches are currently the largest bird in the world, found almost all over the continent, they can reach a distance of 3.5 meters per step, run at a speed of 50 kilometers per hour, can run for more than 5 minutes, sprint at a speed of more than 70 kilometers per hour, and can also cross obstacles more than 5 meters high. ”

As he spoke, Chen Hu looked at the ostriches that were running farther and farther, and said with a smile:

"I remember a news story about an adult ostrich more than two meters tall who used to race against a truck on a highway, so you can imagine how fast this guy is. ”

"Even in some of the sporting activities of human beings, there are competitions in which ostriches are ridden. ”

Hearing this, the tourists in the live broadcast room cheered one after another.

"Master Tiger, you've come to Africa, why do you have to catch an ostrich and ride it?"

"Yes, last time in the ocean, the super white shark didn't make it, I was disappointed for a long time, how can we fulfill our dream this time, right?"

"Support the tiger master to ride an ostrich!"

"Support +1"

Wo Ri! I knew that I wouldn't say that, Chen Hu couldn't cry or laugh a little, and then nodded and said:

"I'll ride it for you when I have a chance in the future. ”

As soon as these words came out, the tourists immediately started to reward, and suddenly bananas, airplanes, rockets or something, kept swiping the screen, however, they didn't know that after Chen Hu finished the first live broadcast, he secretly rode a great white shark.

Chen Hu couldn't help it, if he really rode the Great White Shark live at that time, I am afraid it would subvert the worldview of many people.

When the huge ostriches disappeared in a flash of smoke, Chen Hu beat gongs and drums and continued to move forward, but he didn't notice that a pair of cold eyes were quietly watching him in the grass hundreds of meters away.
