Chapter 416: Silent Valley
Big spiders?
Bi Fang was stunned for a moment, staring at the spider the size of a fingernail in his palm for a long time.
emmmm。
Spiders of more than one centimeter are indeed rare in the city, usually such a big spider is only found in the countryside, in the shadow of the eaves, the spider crawls in and out of the old tree hole, last year's cicada molt......
At this moment, the spider that was suddenly fished out by Bi Fang in the crack of the ice was rampaging in the huge palm, the arthropods covered with prickly hairs were undulating and moving back and forth, and eight black eyes were surrounded by the shriveled head from large to small.
Goosebumps are all out!
[What the is this]
[Can you not hold it in your hands, I'm stressed]
[The hairs on my hands are already standing on end!! 】
"Jumping spider, this guy is a Himalayan jumping spider, its scientific name is Euophrys omnisuperstes, which means 'above all else'. It can survive in ice crevasses at an altitude of 6,700 meters, making it the highest living creature in the world. ”
Looking at the rampaging little thing in the palm of his hand, out of bad taste, Bi Fang's thumb flicked lightly, and the jumping spider had to change direction and scurry in the palm of his hand.
At the current altitude, the only creature that Bi Fang can see is the Himalayan jumping spider in his hand, and when all the people on the mountain are withdrawn, he will be the only one left above 5,000 meters of Mount Everest.
One person, one mountain.
[Won't you bite?] Not toxic? 】
[Man, you're playing with fire!] 】
"Don't be nervous, the skin of a human is a bit thick for a jumping spider, and it is very self-aware and rarely attacks humans. In fact, not only jumping spiders, but other spiders rarely attack humans, after all, it is a thankless task to hit a stone with an egg. Usually the packet you think has been bitten by a spider is basically done by another bug.
"This is especially true in China, in our country, spiders that can pose a deadly threat to humans can be said to have not been born, and spiders that can attack humans and have venom that will cause a serious reaction, such as spiders of the genus Kou are also very rare in China, so there is no need to be afraid of seeing spiders.
If there is a one in the field, you can buy a lottery ticket or find a way to catch it and show it off in front of the zoologist, after all, everyone can't find one for a long time. ”
Many foreign audiences were instantly teary-eyed when they heard it, especially Australia's,
[Woo woo, Huaxia is really a treasure of feng shui]
[I went to live in Australia for a while last year, and the spiders there were bigger than fists!] 】
[I heard that there is a possibility of a poisonous snake coming out of the toilet when you go to the toilet, the kind that you can't see before you go up, from the sewer pipe (dog head)]
【Chrysanthemum Cool】
[Wait, only the jumping spider lives in such a high place, so what does it eat?] What about the food chain? 】
[Blind student, you caught the Hua point. 】
"Yes, when scientists discovered him, they were also surprised by this, at this altitude, only jumping spiders survive, but biological survival must have energy intake, as an animal, jumping spiders can not photosynthesize, there must be a certain food chain to support its existence, unfortunately, no."
How can it be?
So what exactly to eat?
The audience was shocked and numb, there was only one living being, so what did it eat? There are no plants here, not even soil, only rocks, can you gnaw stones?
"It's a frozen insect." Bi Fang didn't sell it, "The jumping spider completely relies on the scattered frozen insects blown by the mountain wind to obtain energy, and it is this predation method that allows biologists to completely confirm that the Himalayan jumping spider is the highest living creature, and there is no one." ”
When he said this, Bi Fang was even a little amazed, compared to humans, animals' strong survival ability in many times will be beyond people's reach.
"Eight eyes allow it to see at 360 degrees, its body temperature can be as low as minus 20 degrees, the thin hooks on its feet provide grip and will not be blown away by the wind, its long feet allow it to jump freely between rocks, the distance can reach up to 50 times its body length, the jumping spider does not form webs, but it can also breathe, and the fuse-like spider silk allows it to come and go freely.
In addition, the biggest advantage of the jumping spider is its size, the tiny body can cling to the rock, and the stone surface can be replenished by the sun's energy, forming a heating layer of nearly three centimeters, which is the perfect small environment for this trumpet hero. ”
The little spider couldn't get out, so it spit out a mouthful of spider silk and stuck it in the palm of his hand, and then jumped hard and immediately jumped out of the Five Fingers Mountain.
"Food is scarce, the weather is bad, so this settlement seems strange, but there is a reason behind it, there is only a jumping spider here, nothing else, no one feeds on it, don't look at it small, it is a creature standing at the top of the food chain of Mount Everest."
The sun began to set.
Bi Fang stood up, and the jumping spider slowly fell from a high place like a safety rope until it returned to the ground, biting off the silk thread and escaping.
[Gain knowledge]
【Wonderful Nature】
[Did Lao Fang get the true biography of the lord (dog head) in the past two days]
"Of course, the master is by his side, isn't it tyrannical if he doesn't ask for advice? Chasing stars is not shouting autographs, what you chase is a piece of nothingness, and it is true to learn skills and certain qualities from idols. Bi Fang laughed.
Mountaineering with Attenborough is not just climbing the mountain without talking, but also naturally gaining a lot from the exchange, which allows Bi Fang to grow in the customs and special creatures of the very right place. However, the jumping spider is indeed known by Bi Fang himself, there are many types of jumping spiders, he can't know them all, but some of the world's most high-level creatures still know it very well.
[What can the chasing god learn? (snickering)]
【Alignment with nature (dog head)】
After watching the spider, Bi Fang continued to climb.
On the way, you can often meet people coming down the mountain, but there are fewer and fewer people coming down the mountain.
Bi Fang hit the ice with an ice axe to help him climb the steep slope, during which there were falling rocks from time to time, if he was hit, this height was easy to fall off the cliff, and the person was basically wasted, and he could die on the spot if he hit his head.
Bi Fang saw a rock as big as an old-fashioned computer whizzing towards him, but he avoided it in advance because it fell far away, but from the first perspective, the audience still gasped, and it was not until they watched the stone fall into the cliff that they reacted to a cold sweat.
First-person perspective, more exciting than playing a horror game.
One miss, and it's really dead.
"If you wear glasses for myopia and snow glasses on the outside, make sure that the exhaled heat does not frost on the glasses, otherwise it will affect your vision and judgment. Now that we're very close to Camp 2, we're walking in the 'Valley of Silence'.
As you can see, on my right is Nuzi Peak, and on the left is an avalanche-prone slope. ”
Climbing up the ice slope, Bi Fang took a breath and finally stood up straight, looking sideways at the sunset in the sky.
It was already evening, and at this time it was already 6,400 meters high, and clouds and mist and water were generally flowing around.
The mountain crow flew towards the mountain, and the jumping spider suddenly jumped up from the rock......
The snow-capped mountains are tall and magnificent, with beautiful curves and patterns of ice, snow, stones, and cliffs in the sunset.
The sky, the wind, and the light are dynamic and perpetual creations...... But perhaps in the future, the ice tower will never disappear again.
Environmental overdraft and destruction caused by human development are also harming the Himalayas.
After watching for a long time, it was not until the sun went down that Bi Fang came back to his senses and continued to think about climbing the mountain.
