Chapter 19: Exploring the Jungle
When they returned to the tribe, Uka and his men were already waiting at the door, waiting for them to return, and then they went into the jungle together.
The jungle is very dangerous, there are all kinds of wild beasts and plants that kill people, and if you don't pay attention, you may stay there forever.
Be in awe of nature, revere life, and be vigilant to explore this jungle.
Therefore, the necessary security personnel, already familiar guides, and familiar people work faster with them, so this task can only be done by the Wuka team, who have had several contacts with Yu Hai.
The patriarch also has to follow, where he can go, those secrets can't let him know, or if there is any emergency, it is up to the patriarch to decide, he is responsible for the entire tribe.
If he sees any precious resources, the patriarch can decide on the spot whether these can be used as future trading goods, and follow Yu Hai, maybe he will take out some magical tools, or find some usable food, these are all things to pay attention to.
The group gathered their gear and headed deeper into the jungle.
The place I went to this time was a hunting area belonging to the tribe, and it was mainly for the safety of Yu Hai, and I did not choose an area that was too far away and too dangerous.
This time I entered the jungle, and the mood of the previous times was different, the previous times were almost all in a hurry, this time for the purpose of exploring the jungle resources, you can carefully observe this wonderful world, you can also experience jungle hunting yourself.
The deeper you go, the denser the trees grow, and closer to the tribe, the trees are more scattered for a wider view.
Far from the tribe, vegetation should not be cut down for the sake of ecological balance.
Now there is basically no road in sight, the ground is full of rotten fallen leaves, the air is a little stuffy, the trees are leafy, blocking the sun's rays, only sporadic light through the gaps in the branches and leaves, this is the jungle.
Peel off the fallen leaves and you can see clusters of mushrooms.
Not far away, several children wearing red hats emerged from the fallen leaves. The cap is 5-12 cm in diameter, initially flattened and then flattened, matte or velvety, dark red to dark (black) red in the middle, dark red on the edges, and fine horizontal lines are common on the cap margin.
Red mushrooms generally grow in two seasons a year, once around the Dragon Boat Festival, when the daylilies bloom on the edge of the field, and once around the middle of July, when the autumn orchids on the mountains are fragrant. During these two seasons, the weather is generally sunny and rainy, and the air is humid, which is most suitable for the growth of red mushrooms.
Most of them were picked, and the ones that were too small were left there, and later the people of the tribe could come and pick them. After that, I came across several mushrooms that could be used.
A deep concave glass umbrella that looks like a yellow goblet in nature. The cap is 5-8 cm in diameter, oblate hemispherical to flattened, concave in the middle of the posterior funnel-shaped, dry, shiny, light earthy red to light pinkish-brown. Also picked most of it was taken away, leaving the dwarf.
There are more than mushrooms that can be eaten in the forest, in this tropical environment, fungus is also relatively common, on the trunk of the tree in the shade, or on the rotten wood lying on the ground, there are many grows, Yu Hai has done a demonstration, telling them that this kind of edible fungus, when they see the fungus again, they will pick it by themselves.
In the process of collecting, they also harvested many other mushrooms, many of which were unique to this world and Yu Hai had never seen in the atlas.
This season, when blueberries and other berries are ripe, in a small dirt pit, there are several berry trees with many small thorns on them to protect the fruits from being stolen.
Yu Hai carefully avoided the small thorns, picked a few ripe fruits that grew outside, blew the dust that did not exist, and ate them, which was not bad, and after the people of the hunting team also picked some, they continued to move forward.
Along the way, I have picked all kinds of fruits and wild vegetables that I have eaten before, and I have also seen a few small ones in Ganoderma lucidum, and the ginseng I am most looking forward to seeing has not been found so far, is there no ginseng in this world, can't it.
There are also dinosaurs that Yu Hai has been looking forward to seeing, saber-toothed tigers and other large ferocious animals have not been seen, only a wild boar that does not open its eyes has collided with itself, and a few hares that react slowly, and a pheasant that is too scared to run, these are today's harvests.
Stop and go, take pictures while looking for precious medicinal herbs, occasionally encounter prey, unless you send them to death, today they will also be let go.
Another hour passed, and in front of them were the mountains, and the patriarch said that there were many beautiful stones, mostly white and transparent, and some of them were colorful, and in the light of the torches, they were full of colors.
According to the description of the patriarch, combined with the crystal rough stones that appeared in the previous two transactions, Yu Hai guessed that the cave Kenn was the crystal cave, and Yu Hai had seen more than several crystal caves, and the crystals in it had been accumulated for hundreds of millions of years to have the current beauty. Therefore, there will be signs at the entrance of many scenic spots, do not destroy these stones, do not want to break it off and take it back as a memorial because you think it looks good, and there is a fine of 10,000 yuan if you break a centimeter. Its main purpose is to hope that everyone will take care of these natural landscapes, do not break them because of their own selfish desires, their growth is not easy, leave more beautiful scenery for future generations, so that they can also see such beautiful scenery.
The several crystal caves that Yu Hai saw before were all artificially developed, and they had been destroyed to a certain extent.
The karst cave that has just been discovered, because of the lack of protection, is always destroyed, and the shape is good, the transparency is high, the color is beautiful, and the volume is large, and when it is finally developed, there are not many good-looking ones, and the rest are mostly those that cannot be moved away and have little value, so many tourists have seen it, and feel that the tickets are not worth it, and the cave is nothing more than that, that's it.
This time, you can see a newly discovered karst cave, which has not yet been developed, but is only picked up in a small area, and such a point is the most beautiful, and naturally it is beautiful.
It is said that there are several entrances to this cave, and considering the situation in Yuhai, it is natural to choose the best place to walk.
Go around to the side of the mountain, at the foot of the mountain, you can already see that there is a big hole with a diameter of about ten meters at a height of more than ten meters, the road to the entrance of the cave looks relatively easy to walk, the slope is relatively gentle, the gravel is all over the ground, and occasionally there are a few large pieces of falling rock, which is estimated to be washed down after the rain.
The gray gravel is paved on the road, the sharp edges and corners rub against the soles of the shoes, seeing the primitive people walking on such a road with bare feet, Yu Hai has a high respect for the thickness of the old skin on the soles of their feet, this is all life. If I hadn't been wearing hiking shoes with thick soles, I guess the best way would have been a challenge for me.
The altitude difference of just about ten meters is about ten minutes on this road, which shows how difficult this road is. Some roads blocked by large rockfalls still need to be climbed, and some of the height gaps are too large, and they still need to rely on primitive people to help.
It can be seen that there is still a price to pay to see the beautiful scenery, and what is easy to get is always not easy to cherish, the more difficult it is to get, the more you want it, and what you can't get is always in turmoil.
