That kind of scene that once provoked, it will inevitably be worse than death, no matter who sees it once, it will become a lingering nightmare and shadow for his life. Not to mention, experience it yourself!

This terrifying caterpillar is known locally as the Hearteater. Because once someone is stung by it, the feeling of not being able to survive and dying, is like a worm accumulating together and gnawing on the heart of a human being, which is extremely terrifying.

And this is the most poisonous of all the caterpillars, once its stinging hairs come into contact with the skin, the venom in its hair cavity will be injected into the skin, causing intense itching and pain in the skin, as if it had been burned by fire.

However, when I first encountered this kind of bug, the ancestor seemed to know this terrifying bug, and the name of the heart eater came from the mouth of the ancestor.

And in order to prevent the villagers from being stung by this kind of thing accidentally, the ancestor also specially prescribed a prescription, so that the imperial doctor could use the herbs in the mountains to make a portable medicinal powder, and each villager had some prepared at home to prevent accidents.

Compared to this cool caterpillar, there is another, more common and ferocious creature that the villagers often encounter.

As the name suggests, it is a caterpillar that can fly with wings! Caterpillars have been seen by rural people and even many people in the city, but caterpillars with wings are not common.

It was a bit like a big green worm with wings, but it had a lot of tiny hairs. But despite its similar appearance, this thing is much more ferocious than the big green worms that only know how to eat leaves.

They tend to live in colonies like bees, and although they do not build nests, they often gather in a single tree, and it takes two days for the whole tree to be eaten clean by their sharp teeth.

These little creatures are very territorial, and if someone or other animal accidentally intrudes into their territory, the whole group of flying caterpillars will rise into the sky.

Hibernate!

Bite!

Although there are only two ways to defeat the enemy, it is definitely not an easy task to survive with these two methods. is often stung and bitten by these strange insects, and if you don't die, you have to lose half your life.

There were once villagers who accidentally provoked them, and they were chased into the sky with no way to enter the ground, and their bodies were crawling with flying caterpillars, stinging and biting. If it hadn't happened to come across a stream, the villager would have been killed by the insects, and then burrowed into his body, making him the nourishment for the flying caterpillars to give birth to their next generation.

Not to mention people, even cows with thick hair and hard skin, are targeted by these guys, and if they are not rescued in time, most of them will be more than lucky.

Compared to that kind of heart-eating worm, the number of flying caterpillars is undoubtedly much larger. As long as you enter the mountain, you can often see the whole tree crawling with these large insects, and you don't have to get too close to hear the "rustling" sound of them eating the leaves.

These guys are like fellow army ants, small in size, but very numerous. A group also has at least tens of thousands of flying caterpillars, of which more than 60% are full-time combatants!

Once one tree has been eaten, it will stir its wings and move on to the next tree, and the scene is extremely spectacular, like a green blanket flying through the sky and swooping down on the next leafy tree, and so on, knowing that the weather is getting cooler, and autumn and winter are coming.

Along the way, all creatures that stand in your way will be attacked as enemies. In this case, there is little other way but to escape.

In addition, there is a common caterpillar that is the common caterpillar with red stripes found in many places, but in comparison, this caterpillar has a colorful epidermis and is easy to distinguish.

The poisonous bristles visible to the naked eye will not only be itchy and unbearable once people touch them, but also, because the body's immune mechanism works, the stung area will soon become red and swollen.

Generally, if you are stung by a caterpillar, do not slap, blow lightly, blow off the poisonous stinging hairs, or use tape to stick the poisonous hairs off, which is also a good method.

The most taboo thing is to scratch or touch, because this will aggravate the condition, and an unbearable itchy rash will soon appear in the body area, and it will continue to spread. In severe cases, those red bumps can also form blisters, which are also itchy and unbearable.

If you have symptoms such as fever, headache, or stomach ache after being stung, you need to be sent to the doctor immediately. Otherwise, it is likely that your life will be in danger.

If these small things are not harmful and threatening to human life at all, then all kinds of snakes in the mountains and forests, large and small, are enough to become the biggest threat to the mountain people living in this big mountain.

There are a lot of snakes in the mountains and forests near Lijiazhuang, and the closer you get to Zhuangzi, the more you are.

This cold-blooded animal is very sensitive to temperature, and when it falls below 15 degrees Celsius, it generally goes into hibernation.

In October, the weather will become cooler and colder, the leaves will fall off, and countless animals will begin to store food for the winter or go directly into hibernation.

Before the establishment of Lijiazhuang, this valley was an ideal location for many animals to spend the winter. Because of the hot springs, this valley is kept above 12 degrees Celsius all year round.

The closer you get to the hot springs, the higher the temperature. Even within 100 meters of the hot springs, the temperature can be maintained at about 20 degrees Celsius even on a snowy winter day.

This provides an ideal place for many animals to spend the winter safely. So, long ago, before winter arrived, countless animals would flock to the valley to escape the cold and find food.

Later, the ancestors and kings brought people here and built a human village, and those animals could no longer or dare to spend the winter here.

It doesn't matter if you are a black bear with infinite strength, or a wolf or leopard with sharp teeth and a sharp mouth, you don't dare to come over and compete with humans for this heaven-sent land. However, snakes are excluded.

The most famous thing here in Lijiazhuang is a small thing called the green leaf snake in the village, don't look big, at most it is longer than chopsticks, and it is limited in thickness than the little thumb.

But this kind of little guy with the length of ordinary chopsticks is indeed the most feared killer in the mountains and forests!

The green leaf snake is green most of the time, and the color of leaves and weeds is generally the same. However, when the weather gets colder, the leaves begin to fall off, and the weeds turn yellow, they turn gray or yellow.

This little thing is so poisonous that once it is hit, within a few seconds, the snake venom will enter the victim's heart, causing him to die in the blink of an eye, so fast that it is too late to treat.

Moreover, the green leaf snake has excellent bounce power, and it can catapult out of the tree, and the maximum distance can reach only 30 meters! It is also extremely fast, and can reach about 3 to 5 meters per second in a short time. Suddenly catapulted from the grass, it will bite the prey in an instant, and after a few seconds, the prey will be dizzy and paralyzed.

Targeted by it, it is difficult for humans to escape its pursuit. It can be said that the green leaf snake is the well-deserved existence at the top of the food chain in this mountain forest, and it is also one of the animals that poses the greatest threat to humans.

However, the basis of human existence is that humans have a high level of intelligence that other animals do not have. After paying countless lives, humanity has finally found a way to deal with it.

One of the biggest characteristics of the green leaf snake is that its eyes are not good, and it finds its prey by its sensitive sense of smell! When the prey enters within 50 meters of it, it will be discovered by their sensitive sense of smell.

Then, silently, quickly crawl for a distance to approach the prey. Or wait quietly for your prey to approach, then suddenly burst out and deliver the fatal blow.

But it is precisely because of the success and defeat of Xiao He that its extremely sensitive sense of smell has become the most reliable means for human beings to deal with them. After long-term observation, it was found that the green leaf snakes are extremely sensitive to the smell of stinky artemisia, and they will never stop where stinky artemisia exists.

Therefore, when the hunters in the village enter the mountain, they will bring some stinky artemisia with them. Or go to the place where the stinky artemisia grows, and you can safely avoid the green leaf snake from its surprise attack.

In addition, the green leaf snake generally feeds on small birds, bird eggs, as well as young mice, frogs, lizards and other small animals, and for huge animals, including humans, as long as it does not provoke it, it will generally not be actively attacked.

Luckily, this kind of green leaf snake has extreme fertility, usually laying three to five eggs at a time, but there are definitely no more than two young snakes that can be successfully hatched! Most of the time, only one can be successfully hatched.

And they don't live as long as other snakes, and they die of natural old age in about three to five years. Moreover, the miraculous creation of nature does not make them invincible, they also have natural enemies.

For example, other snakes, such as eagles, which are common in the mountains and forests, like to prey on green leaf snakes the most. It's just that, sometimes a predator becomes a prey and is ruthlessly hunted.

The biggest natural enemy of the Aoba snake is indeed an extremely weak-looking existence - ants!

In the mountains and forests near Lijiazhuang, there is a kind of red mountain ant, which is three to five times larger than ordinary ants. They can secrete a strange smell to mimic the smell of female or male Aoba snakes, which attracts the aoba snakes with a keen sense of smell to come and send them to their deaths.

They roam in groups in the mountains and forests, and once they spot the snakes, these large swarms of ants will rush up and quickly cover and bite the snake's body.

No matter how much the snake struggles, it is futile, and the mouth of the ant is able to secrete a very acidic formic acid, which can corrode the scale armor of the green leaf snake and corrode its body along the cracks.

Often, as a result of the battle between the two, the dead Aoba snake was carried back to its nest by countless large mountain ants. Large numbers of large mountain ant carcasses are often left in place, attracting large swarms of lizards and anteaters to enjoy a free meal.

It is precisely because of the existence of these poisonous insects and beasts that are different from the outside world and unique to this place that this valley has never been entered by outsiders. They are like a level that knocks countless explorers with dreams and hopes into the dust!
