Chapter 398: Vampire!
"Bear thing! Not a good thing! Lao Wei, come and take a picture of me, what is this posture like! The fat boss was not stupid, as soon as he heard Hong Tao's words, he knew that his calculation had not succeeded, and he was not Hong Tao's opponent, so he simply scolded, and went to find Wei Han again, twisting his body back and forth in front of the bison, trying to pose a more powerful pose to take a photo with his prey.
When an African bison arrived, everyone in the hunting team was very happy, and from their words, Hong Tao could also hear that this bison was really the five most difficult or valuable prey in the eyes of African hunters, commonly known as BIG5.
It is not only a matter of luck that you can hit a BIG5 on the first day of your trip, but also a matter of work intensity for these people who accompany the hunt. This hunting team has a total of 7 black employees, plus a forest policeman, two Maasai Shuka, and counting these three hunting guides, which is equivalent to 13 people accompanying Hong Tao and the 4 of them to play.
If they can't touch the big prey specified in the contract like BIG5, then they have to accompany Hong Tao to find it on the grassland. Therefore, these staff members are even happier than Hong Tao after successfully hunting a BIG5, which means that their work intensity and time have been greatly reduced, who is not willing to earn more money and work less.
The customer was happy, the staff was happy, and the only unlucky thing was this old male bison, but who cares what it thinks now. Everyone happily took pictures of the carcass of the bison, and apart from the two magic cards, the two Maasai hunters did not like to take pictures or videos until you gave them enough money to make them happy.
The rest of the work doesn't have to worry about Hong Tao and them, I asked their opinions. When they wanted to make a specimen of the bison and received a clear answer that they did not need it, several black men immediately took out large knives and knives, and in less than ten minutes, the one-man tall bison of nearly 800 catties was divided into N small pieces.
Of course, the cow's head and cowhide are still intact, and the cowhide boss Liu plans to make a handicraft called leather carving in Africa, which is also the handicraft of some local tribes. The head of the cow was left by the fat boss, although he did not look down on the ordinary appearance of the bison, but he was still very fond of the two big horns on the head of the cow that were bent to the head, and he planned to make the head of the cow into a pendant and take it back to China.
In addition to the black employees in the hunting team showing Hong Tao and other guests from afar their exquisite slaughtering skills, the actions of the two Maasai Shuka, who have always kept a certain distance from everyone, also made Hong Tao and the others tremble.
Just before black employees slaughtered bison. The two magicians danced around the bison. In fact, Hong Tao has always been a little envious and jealous of the innate musicality, rhythm and physical coordination of black people, but to be honest, the dance of these two is not good at all.
Hong Tao didn't think it was new to this kind of local tribal dance, this thing has been performed N times in TV movies, and it is nothing more than a way to celebrate, sacrifice, and boost morale. Hong Tao also has a few artistic cells on his body, and he has no interest in these things.
But their next move was too unexpected for Hong Tao and the others. The two Shuka jumped for a few minutes. He stopped, then reached out and pulled a withered yellow straw stick from the grass next to him, and quickly made it into a piece more than half a foot long, and then held it in his mouth.
"What is this for? Straw? Hong Tao thought so at the time.
Hong Tao guessed correctly this time, the straw stick was really used as a straw by the two Shuka, but they didn't use it to absorb water. And not to smoke a drink, but to suck blood!
With straw sticks in their mouths, the two jukha lay on the cow's neck and used the tips of their javelins to make a small cut in the neck of the buffalo. Then he inserted a straw and sucked the blood of the bison.
"Yeron, what are they doing here? They also suck blood! Hong Tao looked at Shuka's moving Adam's apple and the red liquid flowing down the corners of his mouth, and asked his hunting guide very uneasily.
"Don't be afraid, this is their eating habits, the Shuka in the Maasai are all excellent hunters in the grassland, and when they reach adulthood, they need to hunt a lion alone, and then they can put on that red cloak and officially become Shuka." When Holland saw Hong Tao's eyes, he knew what he was worried about, and whispered to him to explain Shuka's abnormal behavior.
"What does this have to do with bloodsucking?" Hong Tao didn't have the time to listen to the Maasai coming-of-age ceremony at this time, he just wanted to find out if these two magic cards would suck human blood.
But the Maasai seldom hunted animals, they were more nomadic than nomadic people, and they did not hunt animals but to protect their cattle. The Maasai live on cattle as their main food, and they raise a lot of cattle and live almost exclusively on beef, milk, and they eat almost nothing else, not even vegetables. "The Dutch pee seems to be going in circles with Hong Tao, and he doesn't mention anything about blood sucking, but talks a lot about the living habits of the Maasai people.
"I'm asking about bloodsucking!" Hong Tao once again emphasized his problem.
"When they go out to herd the cows, they don't bring water, but if they are thirsty, they take a knife and make a small cut on the cow, and then use a straw stick to reach in and drink the cow's blood, and that's it. Don't worry, they won't drink the blood of other animals, let alone suck human blood. But I would like to warn you and your companions that if you meet the Maasai in other places, do not mistreat or insult the cattle, as it is dangerous, and they will see you as enemies, and the consequences will be serious, which is the greatest taboo here. Holland finally answered Hong Tao's question.
"Fat uncle, don't worry, they only drink cow blood, which is used as drinking water, and will not drink the blood of other animals." Boss Liu and Fat Boss also had the same concerns as Hong Tao, and when Hong Tao asked Ye Rong these questions, they also craned their necks to listen, although they couldn't understand.
When the hunting party set out for the vehicle again, the old bison had fallen on a skeleton with a little shreds of flesh and a puddle of cow's blood that had seeped into the sand, and it wasn't going to stay here for long.
Before Hong Tao and the others left, there were already several black shadows hovering in the sky, which was the African cleaner Comrade Vulture had discovered the cow bones below. They are only the vanguard, and soon a large number of vultures will fly in, and in a few moments all the flesh on the skeleton will be torn off by their hard beaks.
At the same time as the vulture, there will be coyotes, hyenas and other semi-scavengers to come to dinner, such as hyenas have a mouth of water press-like teeth, thick corbel bones they can be bitten and suck the bone marrow inside, when they clean up the skeleton, all kinds of ants, carnivorous beetles will take their place, continue to attack this pile of skeletons, Zhi Lu Dao to the bones of the last bit of tissue, grease squeezed dry, only to complete the final cleaning work.
This is an ecological cycle, the death of each animal can bring benefits to many other animals, and there will be no waste, all will enter the cycle again, and so on, to create this magical savannah of Africa.
But in the middle of this can not be inserted into human beings, human beings only take, no giving, if human beings enter this cycle, then it will occupy the highest point of the cycle, and cut off this cycle, everything will be like Pixiu after reaching human beings, only in and out, all species under the cycle will not get any benefits.
As for Hong Tao, whether their current behavior is considered to be involved in the cycle, strictly speaking, count! It doesn't count! If humans can't control their nature, sooner or later these animals will disappear. There are now various animal protection organizations in the world, and many governments have realized that they can no longer kill animals and destroy the environment on which they live.
