The rhinos on this continent are herbivores. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

The guide knew far better than the captain that there was a large rhinoceros in the south of the continent, which had a wide upper lip and could eat dwarf grass; The rhinoceros here is smaller, with a more prominent lip and is able to collect twigs from the woods before biting it off with its premolars.

Fortunately, the larger ones don't operate in the area, and they only deal with the smaller ones.

But both rhinos have one thing in common------ they are extremely difficult to mess with!

Elephants can scatter and flee because they are frightened, while rhinos can get angry and attack indiscriminately!

Indigenous hunters take great care when killing it, trying to deal with older rhinos, especially those who have been driven out of the herd by new cows.

Most of all animal communities have a behavior, and almost every few years, a new cow appears in the herd that challenges the authority of the old cow.

Old cows are often driven out of the rhinoceros herd by new ones------ which is a bit of a trance, but it is a way for them to renew themselves.

The guide had told Xiao Er that such old cows were the most suitable for hunting, because their rhinoceros horns were the most developed and valuable.

He finally added that such rhinoceros horns, one can be exchanged for five porcelain pieces or a beautiful silk horse!

The second captain was noncommittal about the price, and he didn't want to tell the guide the true value of the rhinoceros horn in the Great Song Dynasty.

Since ancient times, rhino horn in the Great Song Dynasty has been regarded as a rare spiritual object that can ward off evil spirits, and the utensils made of rhino horn have been prosperous in the court and folk for more than 1,000 years because of their strong legendary mystery, and have become the royal nobles and literati of the royal court.

The folk of the Great Song Dynasty have always believed that rhinoceros horn contains mysterious and unpredictable power, and it is also rumored that rhino horn has the effect of warding off evil spirits and protecting peace, which is not unrelated to its medicinal value.

It is said that when a poisonous liquid is poured into a rhino horn cup, the venom boils like boiling water, and the poison disappears.

Legend has it that rhino horn cups, like ivory chopsticks, foam at the mouth when a liquid containing toxins is added to the cup, giving a warning to drinkers.

In fact, this is just like this time and space the Western world thinks that the exquisite porcelain also has a miraculous effect, if poison is put in, the porcelain bowl will break------ the rarer the item, the more people give it a magical function, this is very normal common sense.

Rhino horn may not be so magical, but rhino horn has been recognized for its medicinal properties of clearing cremation and poisoning the human body.

If the patient has a high fever that does not go away, grind it into powder with rhino horn, and the water suit will have a good fever reduction effect.

So, rhino horn may not be the most expensive commodity in the Great Song market, but it must be the best to sell!

In the Great Song market, rhinoceros horn from this continent is not as expensive as that produced in the Great Song Dynasty and Southeast Asia, but the price is still very high------

The second captain said to the guide seriously, "Do you like our firecracker?" If we can get two horns, we'll give you a firebolt------ and the more we get, the more you'll get! ”

The guide's eyes lit up!

He did like the firebolt------ he had seen it with his own eyes, and the six firebolts had killed the huge elephant!

If they could have a few of these weapons, they would not be able to sacrifice a single hunter in future elephant hunts.

The one spat on the ground!

Liu Erlang hurriedly explained that the people here used this way to indicate that the deal was made!

The second captain smiled and didn't say anything.

In fact, the second captain and Wang Zheng have discussed, and they have been looking for more business opportunities.

It is impossible to do regular business with such a cargo as a sea vessel, it is too big, too time-consuming, and too technical, and because of the price, it is impossible to sell a lot.

As for the traditional style goods like the Great Song Dynasty, Liuqiu Island must be different from them!

At that time, Wang Zheng also said to the second captain that in the past few years, I only brought novelty items to the main family, even those precious metals are nothing------ and finding more business opportunities will make the main family look down on us!

At that time, the second captain also nodded in approval.

The two of them weren't released into the Exile Guard, nor did they stay with the Lord's family, so they had to take advantage of this opportunity to achieve more.

They also want to sell the guns in their hands.

Of course, they knew very well how to make the gunpowder, and they thought that it was cheap and very profitable, and as long as the buyer bought it, they could not do without their own gunpowder!

Only the gunpowder produced on Liuqiu Island is full of medicinal power------ the goods produced by the Great Song Dynasty are only barely usable.

The best way to sell is to have the other person come to their door and beg them!

When the king of Rashezi sent them hunting guides, they made up their minds:

Isn't that Sangqi empire torn apart, maybe all the small countries want the weapons in their hands?!

Therefore, they can also use this hunting to not only train the team and familiarize themselves with the characteristics of that continent, but also let the guide see their weapons, and even give them a few.

And that's not counting the harvest of the prey you get?!

The promise of the captain made the guide even harder, and he not only taught the Liuqiu people how to distinguish footprints, but also told them the trick of hunting rhinos!

There are several ways to kill rhinos:

You can lie in ambush and throw guns, and you can dig traps------ but it takes a long time and a lot of manpower.

The largest rhinoceros, which can reach a length of five meters and a height of two meters at the shoulder, is covered in thick leather armor, and it is easy to imagine how difficult it is to bleed it with a throwing gun or let it fall into a trap.

The key is to predict the route and direction of the rhinoceros' walking, which is more difficult.

The second captain and his team members all saw that the water and grass on this continent were fertile, and the rhinoceros was free to move around by temperament!

The second captain showed off his stunt------ the salt water attraction method.

He asked the captain for a lot of salt, then melted it with water and sprayed it on the grass he had chosen and on the leaves in the woods.

The place he chose was where he found the most rhino footprints, right where the grassland meets the woods.

The guide explained that the rhinoceros had bad eyes, but its sense of smell was excellent, and it could smell the smell of salt as far as we had walked for half a day!

The second captain calculated in his heart, well, at least ten kilometers away.

The guide also said that as long as they stop to eat the branches, we can just throw our guns down------ or use our weapons like you do.

The second captain asked curiously, "Why do you have to be in the woods?" Wouldn't it be more convenient to hunt on the steppe ?! ”

The guide quickly shook his head and said, "The rhinoceros can't run with Ben in the woods, and he can't see people, so the trees are the safest place!" ”

The second captain thought to himself, hehe, we actually scared the animals into the trees!

When the guide saw the look on the second captain's face, he added:

"From here, all the way south, you will come across the savannah, where there are bigger rhinos, and they only eat grass.

Once, more than 50 people in a tribe hunted a rhinoceros at the same time, only to be killed by it and trampled to death by 10 people, and it swaggered away! ”

Ten people!

The guide held out his long ten fingers at the second captain.

Okay, the second captain nodded, I knew that the rhinoceros was powerful------ but later, after he experienced the hunting, he realized that he really didn't expect the rhinoceros to be so fierce at that time! (To be continued.) )
