Chapter 143: A Weight Loss Weapon

This brown snake is more than 2 meters long and has an exceptionally thick body. The eastern cobra from before it looked like a child.

After biting the eastern cobra, the brown cobra did not stop, swinging its body, dragging its prey, and quickly disappeared into the bushes.

Everything happened so quickly, from the moment it appeared to bite its prey, to the time it disappeared, it was only two or three seconds.

It wasn't until the Brown Yiao snake disappeared from view that Ye Xuan reacted, and couldn't help but sigh at the camera: "Australia is worthy of being a paradise for poisonous snakes, they are not afraid of humans at all, and the Brown Yiao snake just now even preyed in front of me, it is too fierce." ”

At this moment, the audience in the live broadcast room also came back to their senses and frantically posted a barrage.

"Patriarch, can you bear this?"

"Damn, are Australian snakes so grumpy?"

"It seems that after the fox, the brown snake will also become extinct. ”

"Brown Yiao Snake: Lao Tzu can blow it for a year when he goes back. ”

"Hey, pretend to be forced and run, what a red chicken. ”

"I was robbed twice in a row, and I definitely couldn't bear it. ”

"A new storm has appeared!"

Glancing at the barrage, Ye Xuan smiled and said, "Forget it, spare its life." Today's main task is to find water and travel, and besides, I have eaten a hare in the morning, barely enough to sustain the energy consumed for a day. Ladies and gentlemen, let's keep going!"

Walking through the vast plains, in addition to being alert to the appearance of venomous snakes at any time, he is always on the lookout for the tracks of animals on the ground.

Hare has very high requirements for water quality, and the water that hares often drink is relatively clean and can be drunk by humans. The water in the kettle was already drunk yesterday. If he can't find fresh water before this afternoon, he will definitely suffer from heat stroke in this hot and humid environment.

Although the fruit and rhizome of the prickly pear cactus can provide a lot of water, this thing is too cold to eat. Especially rhizomes, eating too much can cause diarrhea, and then the gains outweigh the losses.

As time goes on, the sun starts to get scorching and the temperature rises.

An hour later, Ye Xuan stopped, found a stone and sat down, rolled up his trouser leg to check, and explained at the same time: "There are a lot of ticks in Australia, and when you are traveling in the wild, it is best to check your body every few hours." These little ones are everywhere, they bite your skin firmly and suck the blood. Crucially, ticks carry more than 80 viruses. ”

"Just last year, there was a sudden outbreak of mass ticks in XN and Melbourne. Among them was an 8-year-old girl who was bitten by a tick on her bare foot while attending a summer camp. At that time, the parents did not pay attention to it, but just applied some ointment to her. As a result, a few days later, the little girl suddenly convulsed and fell to the ground, and was taken to the hospital only to find out that she was infected with the Lyme virus. Today, the little girl is still paralyzed in the hospital bed, suffering from pain all the time. ”

After checking it and finding that there were no ticks on his legs, Ye Xuan tucked his trouser legs into his socks. Although it may seem weird, it is effective in preventing ticks and other insects from burrowing into your pants.

Seeing the audience in the live broadcast room, they were all lamenting the horror of ticks, and he said: "This is not terrible, there are even more terrible things." After the American blunt-eyed tick bites, it can cause red meat allergies. Patients with this kind of allergic symptoms should not eat all red meat such as beef, sheep and pigs, otherwise it will cause allergic reactions, and mild ones will vomit and diarrhea, and high fever will not go away. In severe cases, difficulty breathing can lead to shock and even sudden death. The key is the current level of medical care, there has been no progress on red meat allergy, that is, there is no treatment at the moment. ”

"Originally found in South America, the American blunt-eyed tick has now spread across Eurasia and the Northern Territory. In recent years, dozens of people with red meat allergies have been identified in Australia, all of whom have been bitten by the American blunt-eyed tick. ”

Originally, the audience was a little happy, but when they heard that it spread to Asia, they suddenly exploded.

"Damn, this one is a bit hanging. ”

"Can't eat red meat, or can't you eat all meat?"

"I checked it just now, and it looks like chicken, duck and fish are white meats that can be eaten. ”

"This TM is simply a weight loss weapon!"

"If you can't eat braised pork, life will be meaningless. ”

"I was so scared that I quickly ate a piece of beef to suppress the shock. ”

"Forget it, the wilderness is too dangerous, I'd better stay at home. ”

Sitting on the stone and resting for a while, Ye Xuan wiped his sweat, stood up and said, "Now my main task is to find fresh water, the temperature is getting higher and higher, time is running out, let's go!"

Finding water through the trails of wild beasts is the best way to do it at the moment. Because the number of hares and foxes on this plain is very large, and the number is large, the more beast paths he steps out, and the easier it is for him to spot.

It wasn't until noon that he finally found a beastly path.

The road is not wide, it is faint in the weeds, and if you are not careful, it is easy to overlook, and it is obvious that small animals such as hares have stepped on it.

Squatting down, Ye Xuan pointed to the path in the grass, swallowed his saliva with difficulty, and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, this is the beast road. If you follow this path, there is a good chance that you will find a water source. You see, there's a couple of pieces of manure here. ”

As he spoke, he reached out and took the feces in his hand, observed it carefully for a moment, and even stepped forward to smell it, "The feces smell very strong, and there are some hairs on it, it should be fox feces." ”

"Let's go!"

Throwing away the feces in his hand, Ye Xuan held the wooden stick and walked along the looming path.

In such a hot environment, it is extremely unwise to go forward under the scorching sun. But he now has no choice but to find a source of water as soon as possible, or he will be dehydrated within two hours. At the same time, he relies on fresh water to physically cool his body.

Here the humidity in the air is completely saturated, so the sweat on the skin simply cannot evaporate, clogging the pores. The inability to dissipate heat through sweat, coupled with the hot weather and strenuous exercise, made his body's core body temperature continue to rise, and it is about to reach a dangerous value. If you don't have a way to physically cool down, once the core temperature exceeds the safe line, it can trigger heat stroke.

In addition, in this high-humidity environment, staying in the shade has little effect, and can only temporarily avoid sunlight to slow down the rise of core temperature.

In Ye Xuan's current situation, staying in the shade is no different from waiting for death, so he can only gamble.

Of course, this is not a rash decision made on a hot head, in general, the habitat of the vast majority of animals is not too far from the water source, this distance is not more than 5 kilometers. Foxes, in particular, have about 40% of their diets made up of fish and frogs and other aquatic creatures, so their range of activity is very close to the water source.

It was precisely because of the fox feces found before that Ye Xuan made this decision, and he was sure that he would find a water source within three kilometers!
