Chapter 249 [Accidental Discovery]
That night, Hu Xiaodao went to the creek in the evening to catch more than a dozen fish, and he put them back into the water directly when they were too small.
Now the food is not like in the past, when there was a shortage of food, you can let those small fish go, you can let those small fish go, you are not here to exterminate a race.
In fact, when catching fish, the rain was falling loudly, and Hu Xiaodao held back his grievances and sat there.
After the wall was weaved, Hu Xiaodao suddenly felt that he had nothing to do. Lying on the bed bored, the gang in the live broadcast room began to let Hu Xiaodao tell stories again.
"I'm here to survive in the wilderness, not to tell stories, you people are enough!" Hu Xiaodao couldn't cry or laugh, he couldn't tell the story before, it was too boring.
"That's not good, you have to watch it for survival, but there is wool content at night, and you have to be responsible for telling bedtime stories."
"Anyway, that story yesterday was very exciting, so I have to have one today."
"That's it, let's have a good sound, twenty ten thousand dragon pictures! ~”
"Who says there's no story at night? I'm going to catch capybaras tonight, but it's up to God to catch them! Hu Xiaodao hehehethe thief smiled.
At noon, Hu Xiaodao saw rows of paw prints on the hillside covered with coriander, and at first he didn't know that it was a capybara, but later he found it after consulting the Systematic Field Biology Encyclopedia of Central and South American Zoology.
"Now, it's raining outside, and I guess the capybaras will be hiding in a cave not far from the river, and we should be able to find them just by walking around the river."
Although it was raining, Hu Xiaodao was also desperate in order to satisfy the officials.
He put on his robe, added a few thick pieces of wood to the fire, and went out with a stone axe.
Capybara, a semi-aquatic herbivore, is also the largest rodent in the world. The body is huge, the body length is 1-1.3 meters, the shoulder height is about 0.5 meters, the weight is 27-50 kg, the body is thick and clumsy, the head is large, the neck is short, the tail is short, and the ears are small and round.
Inhabits swamps with lush vegetation. Most of them are family clusters, with no more than 20 heads per group. It likes to be active in the morning and dusk, but due to human hunting, it mostly switches to nocturnal activity.
Do not dig caves. Herbivorous. He is quiet and slow, but when in danger he jumps into the water and escapes. Good at swimming and diving. The meat is edible, and the subcutaneous fat has a high iodine content and can be used for medicinal purposes.
It inhabits a variety of lowlands close to the water surface, rivers, lakes, tropical rainforests, swamps, brackish wetlands, seasonal submerged grasslands, and savannas. Dry grasslands and pastures with a certain amount of moisture suitable for capybaras to live.
And the station chosen by Hu Xiaodao happened to have a large area of grassland. It is very suitable for capybaras.
If you're lucky enough to catch two of them today, you'll be able to add new dishes to your menu.
Along the path, Hu Xiaodao began to wander around the dense forest, although the head-mounted live broadcast device has a night vision effect, but the green picture and the dark and terrifying forest still make many viewers cry out that they can't stand it.
Hu Xiaodao chuckled and said: "Where is this, you can't stand it, brother, I've been living here for five days, except for the mosquitoes here, in fact, there is nothing, and you are not afraid of anything if you make a fire." ”
"In addition, I would like to say that there is actually another advantage of finding capybaras, which is that capybaras are good animals, and they often live in groups of 10-20 people.
For example, all kinds of birds, turtles, etc., in fact, what I want to say here is that you can eat capybara poop! Other animals follow him to eat its poop, and you can imagine that in the eyes of other animals,
Capybara is a mobile snack vending machine! If you follow him, you'll drop snacks! Hahaha......"
After all, what Hu Xiaodao said is completely well documented, and finding a capybara spot is equivalent to finding a food warehouse, which makes Hu Xiaodao's excitement unbearable.
"The capybara is still relatively cute, and the appearance is harmless, do you need a girl in the live broadcast room? If you need it, you can come to me, and I'll help you catch it for free! ”
Climbing up a dirt slope and walking less than two kilometers, this is where Hu Xiaodao found coriander, and it is also the place where capybara paw prints appeared.
Unfortunately, the heavy rain has drowned out the capybara's footprints, and it is impossible to see where it is going.
However, Hu Xiaodao vaguely remembered that the footprints were heading west, but this seemed to deviate from the river, which made Hu Xiaodao in a dilemma for a while.
To the west is the jungle, boundless black pressing, there are all kinds of animals in it, what sloths, short-haired rabbits and the like, but Hu Xiaodao is not going to eat sloths, that taste...... It's better than a handful of weeds.
The forest was too quiet at night, the sound of the rain had been muffled by thick foliage, and the entire forest was like a fortress sheltering all the animals that lived here.
Birds chirp from time to time in the empty gray space, as if complaining about the bad weather.
Hu Xiaodao stepped on the muddy path, bent down to carefully identify it, hoping to find the paw prints of the capybara.
"Haha, found it, here!" If it wasn't in the forest, then someone next to him would definitely be startled by Hu Xiaodao's madness.
Hu Xiaodao, who didn't care at all, happily jumped up and down with the ups and downs of the terrain, although he ran a little crazy along the way, but the paw prints along the way were quite obvious.
As mentioned earlier, adult capybaras can weigh 20 to 50 kilograms, and the rainforest is so soft that capybara reminders can easily leave paw prints on the forest floor.
After running for more than three minutes, Hu Xiaodao came to an abrupt end in front of a cliff.
Capybaras don't build nests, they call caves everywhere, and what appears in front of Hu Xiaodao at this moment is a place that resembles an ancient mine.
There are caves of different sizes throughout the mountain, the small ones are about a few tens of centimeters, and the large ones are between two or three meters in height.
"I'm sorry, I can't have found an abandoned gold mine from hundreds of years ago, right?" Hu Xiaodao raised his head and tried his best to let the audience in the live broadcast room see it clearly.
The whole mountain is gray-black, and countless caves of various sizes have become places for various animals to live and work in peace, such as bats, flycatchers, emerald fish, short-tailed fish, forest owls, oil owls and musk pheasants.
All the birds have their own territory, and the chirping is in stark contrast to the quiet reptiles below.
The cave below is inhabited by some such as sloths, armadillos, anteaters, opossums, and even saw a caiman living in the cave next to the possum, and the Hu Xiaodao has a tongue, not to mention that I have never heard of it.
However, all the animals did not seem to care about the arrival of Hu Xiaodao, and still chattered and quarreled.
Hu Xiaodao also temporarily forgot that he was on the live broadcast, and he was now very curious in his heart, what was the use of so many animals gathered here, and Hu Xiaodao was determined to unlock this secret.
