Chapter 400: Night Hunting
"Who do you say? Brother Liu, listen, isn't this a change of law to scold the two of us! We kindly let him sleep more, but we didn't call him, but now it's good, I don't appreciate it and scold! The fat boss was determined to use it on this issue to stink Hong Tao, and immediately grabbed Hong Tao's words.
"It's done, you're not a good bird, you're such an adult, and you still draw things on his face, is this what a person of your age should do? Your grandson doesn't like to play with this, does he? Don't ink here, hunt go hunt, go, go, Hong Tao, you go to the bathroom and wash your face, two hundred and five! Boss Liu didn't fall for the fat boss, but exposed him, then put the teacup down, picked up the shotgun next to him, and walked out of the grass hut to the off-road vehicle by himself.
"Fat Uncle!! You wait!! Dozens of seconds later, Hong Tao's howl came from the bathroom, and a small Wang Ba was painted with oil paint pens on the left and right sides of his face, and it was black and red on one side, and there was a big king character on his head!
Don't ask, the fat boss did it! No wonder Hong Tao walked out of the tent when he was carrying things in the camp several black people laughed at him, originally Hong Tao thought that the black people here were straightforward, that smile was a friendly expression to himself, it turned out that people were laughing at the totem on his face is really special, and there is a turtle as a mascot!?
"Yeron, you are also responsible, why didn't you tell me that there was something on your face in the first place!?" Hong Tao almost rubbed off his face, but the two little Wang Ba were still stubbornly lying on his face, it seemed that the fat boss was really using oil paint pens instead of watercolor, plus the time was a little long, and the oil paint seeped into the folds of the skin.
"It's nothing to do with me, I thought it was a ritual in your China, let's not talk about it, it's an insect repellent. After a while you will have to apply it to your clothes and bare skin, it smells a little unpleasant, but it works well, and there are more bugs at night. Holland didn't want to dwell on this issue with Hong Tao, so he took out a small tin box from his pocket and handed it to Hong Tao.
"This is also made in the United States? We came from the United States with several insect repellents, do they work? Hong Tao looked at the trademark and origin on the box and found that it was also an American product.
"I'm afraid not, I've seen your equipment, most of it is good, especially these hunting suits. It's great, but some insect repellents are only available in the Americas, some are mosquito bites, but it's not just mosquitoes here, but other small insects as well. We generally use this. Holland made an evaluation of the equipment they were carrying, and then pointed to the small tin box.
"Huh. It doesn't smell a little bad! Isn't this thing afraid of its prey smelling? Hong Tao opened the small tin box and wanted to smell what it was. But before the nose could be brought to him, it was smoked, and the black ointment in the iron box exuded a smell of the stinky eldest sister.
"Hey, hey, hey...... No, I can't tell you what it is, at least we didn't find that the animals smelled it when we used it, maybe they weren't sensitive to the smell. "Dutch back. But when he saw the traces of oil paint on Hong Tao's head and face, he twisted his head back with a smile.
If the East African grasslands are hot and dry during the day, then in the afterglow of the setting sun, this grassland shows its other face.
One by one, the acacia trees are draped in a faint golden color. The grass that used to be yellow and green no longer looks so tattered and sore, and when the wind blows, the grassland is covered with layers of golden waves, which is extremely charming.
What's even more comfortable is the temperature, without the direct rays of the sun, the temperature on the grassland instantly seems to have entered spring. The wind blowing in through the car window is no longer as dry and hot as it comes out of the oven, but warm and cool.
Not only is the climate pleasant, but the animals that have been hiding under the canopy all day are stretching out of the shade to replenish their hungry bellies.
Not long after leaving the camp, Hong Tao had already found several groups of animals such as zebras, water antelopes, and black horse antelopes, but he only recognized one of them by himself, and that was the zebra. There were about a dozen of these guys in striped costumes, standing on a meadow and grazing with their tails, and when Hong Tao and their convoy passed by, only a few zebras raised their heads, and the rest were not looking at them seriously, looking very arrogant!
But people really have the capital to be arrogant, that is, the law here, according to the regulations, these young zebras cannot be beaten. It seems that if you want to be unharmed, even people and animals have to study law well, and take up the weapon of law to protect themselves, apparently these young zebras are graduates of the law department of the East African Grassland University.
As for the water antelope and the black horse antelope, Hong Tao not only had never seen them, but he had never even heard of their names, and he only had the antelope in his impression, who knew that they were also divided into so many species.
The water antelope has a water name in it, but if you go to the water's edge to find them, you will be blind, in fact, this animal does not like water at all, and spends most of its time in the acacia bushes. This thing looks like a sika deer, but there are no beautiful patterns or spots on its body, and the whole thing is a gray mouse skin color, with two white shifts on the left and right sides of the face, and a circle of white hair on the buttocks.
But it's not true to say that the water antelope is not good-looking, and the two horns on its head are really beautiful. The horns were long and straight, with deep lines on them, like precision machined daggers.
The black antelope looks about the same as the water antelope, but it is larger than the water antelope, and its whole body is covered in short black hair, which is shiny and oily. The most special thing is the two horns on its head, if the water antelope has a pair of sharp daggers on its head, then the black horse antelope should be regarded as a pair of Arab scimitars on its head.
The horns of the black antelope are almost 70 centimeters long, and they are also pure black, with a very sleek backward curve. The lines on the horns are also very deep, the closer to the top of the head, the denser the lines, the closer to the tip of the lines are looser, to the tip of the almost no lines, leaving a long smooth part, like the tip of a gun after polishing, it looks so penetrating.
Looking at the horns of these animals, including the bison he had caught in the morning, Hong Tao began to cry out for God!
It is said that lions, tigers, leopards, and hyenas are at the top of the food chain because they have sharp claws and sharp teeth, and they rely on these weapons to slaughter these sheep, cows, and horses. But after careful observation, Hong Tao felt that these sheep and cattle also had their own weapons, and they were no worse than lions and tigers, but why did they become hunters?
Hong Tao thought about this question for a long time and didn't figure it out, but the team encountered a group of lions, and the actions of this group of lions found the answer for Hong Tao.
According to Dutch Pee, this is a very small lion pack, with only 4 adult lions, and all of them lionesses, plus 2 lion cubs less than a meter long. In a lion pack, almost all the work is done by the lioness, such as hunting, raising offspring, and so on.
Male lions do only two jobs in their lives, the first is to mate, and the second is to patrol the territory to prevent other male lions from approaching his herd. To put it bluntly, these two jobs are related to lionesses, and these majestic male lions are actually an idle eater of soft rice, who eats and sleeps when he is hungry, and eats justifiably, with a group of wives and concubines.
At this time, the male lion of this lion pack did not seem to be nearby, and I don't know where he ran to seduce the lioness, and only the four female lions and two cubs remained in place.
When the lioness spotted Hong Tao's convoy, there was an immediate reaction, and two of the lionesses began to approach the convoy, and let out a low roar as they went, presumably to warn the intruders, or possibly to call out to the male lion: bad luck! Come back, there's something strange trespassing on our territory! These things are quite big, and we may not be able to deal with them! (To be continued......)
