The scorching sun hung high in the sky, and the yellow-orange-orange beams stretched for thousands of miles.

In addition to the color, the light also brought blazing heat, and the terrifying heat of more than forty-five degrees made the air twist and swim like a long snake.

The scorching glow stretched across the flat land, except for a cracked deep canyon and a rock wall that cast a large shadow.

Shadows enveloped Bi Fang, and he pulled Alpha to curl up in it to cover his figure, and even suppressed his breathing a lot.

The canyon does not go straight to the ground, and there are many extensions on both sides of the fissure, like a leaf vein expanding to the sides, shrinking in the shadow of one of the thin branches, which can cover itself if you are lucky.

There was a low pressure in the live broadcast room, and if all kinds of barrages were not closed, almost all the pictures would be drowned, but at this time, Bi Fang had no time and no time to watch the barrage.

Dozens of meters away from its location, a large gazelle with a body length of more than half a meter was lying on the ground at the moment, blood gurgling under its body, flowing along the ground towards the Heishui River.

The smell of blood spread, and it soon attracted nearby crocodiles.

The crocodile lurked beneath the surface of the water, like a piece of dead wood, and quickly approached the riverbank.

The yellowish-brown hair alternates with white hair, and there are no broad black stripes at the dividing line, and there are distinct white round patches on the buttocks.

The most important thing is that this gazelle has a pair of slender sharp horns growing on the top of its head, and there are extremely dense annular ridges on it, which looks thin and long, like two sharp spears.

In terms of features, this is a slender-horned gazelle.

Bi Fang squinted, feeling a hint of regret.

Before it hit the ground, he recognized the genus and species of the animal with his excellent dynamic vision.

Endangered species on the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species.

The slenderhorn gazelle has been listed as endangered since the last century, with a total estimated population of no more than a few hundred, well below the threshold of 2,500 mature individuals, and continues to decline.

The main threat is uncontrolled poaching.

While increased human activity and desertification can also lead to the degradation of natural habitats and have negative impacts, these impacts are nothing compared to poaching.

Poaching on the continent has a long history.

Beginning in the 19th century, large European hunting groups that traveled to Africa were largely guilty of poaching, although some were tried and convicted by African kings who hunted on their soil without permission.

By 1900 AD, European colonial powers had successively enacted hunting bans across Africa, prohibiting most Africans from hunting.

Subsequently, most forms of African hunting, including hunting for food, were also recognized as poaching by colonial authorities.

As a result, commercial poaching has become a problem that has only recently occurred and has begun to pose a considerable threat to animal populations.

And the further back, the more severe.

In the fifties and sixties of the last century, after the end of World War II, due to the great vitality of European countries and their overseas colonies, the wave of national independence around the world was increasing day by day, and many African countries were freed from colonial rule during this period.

After independence, most African countries retained these bans established by European colonizers, but poaching for food or "bushmeat" continued, as did poaching for commercial gain.

While the inefficiency of the new government is one of the reasons for this behavior, there are also many managers who knowingly indulge in violations, after all, many of them also rely on "jungle meat" to obtain valuable protein.

In Africa, "bush meat" is almost the only source of meat for poor households.

Rely on the mountains to eat the mountains, rely on the sea to eat the sea.

Too poor to mine, so you can only rely on primitive animal resources.

It is undeniable that those who hunt for food pose a threat to local animal populations, but when compared to those hunted for international trade, the threat is not comparable

Discuss.

In the '70s and '80s, poaching in Africa reached an unprecedented level and caused a serious crisis.

Elephant and rhino populations are particularly at risk of extinction.

These two animals, which do not fall under the category of "bush meat" and are not fed on by anyone, are killed solely because of the international demand for ivory, rhino horn and their products.

The same is true of the genus Gazelle, which also has beautiful horns.

Regardless of the type of gazelle, almost all of them have a pair of graceful, gorgeous horns.

This makes them popular with "poachers".

Inexpensive but sturdy motorcycles and quad bikes allow poachers to access almost all areas of the species' range.

Poaching subsided after the 80s, but after the Arab Spring events of the 10s and the associated reduction in control and economic hardship, poaching became widespread again in Africa.

Hunters often post hunting pictures on social media sites, especially gazelles with a pair of beautiful horns.

At this time, the slender-horned gazelle twitched its hind legs, a large hole was broken in its abdomen, and its skin was open.

Such injuries can only be caused by human firearms, and normal animal hunting is impossible to cause such cavity wounds.

Combined with the environment at this time, the sound of gunfire, the desert, and the wounds, Bi Fang does not need to suspect it, and he can be 100% sure that the poachers did it.

The hunter used a homemade earthen gun, hiding in the desert to ambush, one shot missed, then fired a second shot, and finally succeeded in hitting, but unfortunately did not hit the vital point, the slender-horned gazelle struggled to flee frantically, and finally came to the canyon in a panic, jumped down.

The whole scene was quickly filled in Bi Fang's mind.

Bi Fang compared the gunfire just now with the knowledge in his memory, and did not find a suitable target, so he guessed that it might be a homemade earthen gun.

The power of the earth spear is limited, if this gazelle does not jump down, just look at the gunshot wound may still be saved.

But something has happened, jumping from a height of tens of meters, even if the gazelles are all jumpers, and under the hard landing, there is no possibility of survival.

[Is it poaching again?] 】

[It feels like ah]

[It's damn poaching again, it's so pitiful]

The audience in the live broadcast room is not stupid, even if Bi Fang didn't say anything, he guessed who probably did it, and there was a lot of discussion.

[It's all broken into minced meat, and the ass is rotten]

[How can Fang Shen always encounter this kind of thing? ] 】

[If you leap across the entire Sahara Desert, you may be able to run into it]

[The more roads you walk, the more things you encounter, if it's a simple survival mission, you may not be able to meet it, but the crossing mission feels like this kind of probability is very high, especially in Africa]

[I don't know in China, but I've been abroad to know, there are a lot of poachers, the year before last I went to Kenya, Africa to take a cable car, especially driving an off-road vehicle, I shot in front of you, and a car of people didn't dare to move]

[Really fake, so arrogant? 】

In the face of the good thing of pie falling from the sky, the crocodiles rushed out of the river like chicken blood, and came to the gazelle in a few seconds, and split the body of the slender horned gazelle that was still twitching.

Large patches of flesh and blood splattered, flesh and skin separated, and more blood flowed into the river, attracting crocodiles dozens of meters away.

It didn't take long for a group of crocodiles to squeeze on the shore, even four or five stacked on top of each other, like a crocodile mountain, and the latecomers were fighting with the forerunners for food.

West African crocodiles, which live by eating fish, rarely eat land creatures.

Bi Fang raised his head.

In the pale yellow sky, a large bird with a clear figure hovered and flew.

And no one came down.

The Horned Gazelle falls on the same side as Bi Fang, and if there is no accident, the other party should also appear above this side.

Sure enough, Bi Fang was very fast

The sound of motorcycles is heard, and the audience is no exception.

[Someone's coming! 】

[It's a motorcycle, they drove a motorcycle! 】

【Be careful, be careful!!】 】

Bi Fang clinged to the rock wall, trying to reduce the sound of his breathing as much as possible so that he could hear more clearly.

The sound of the motorcycle came from far and near, and when it came directly above, the sound disappeared.

A noisy quarrel ensued.

The height of the rock wall is more than 25 meters, and even if Bi Fang is close, it is impossible to hear what they are arguing about, only that they are arguing, and occasionally they can hear a word or two, which is Arabic.

"Two people, no, more than that, there are three, yes, there are three voices."

Bi Fang closed his eyes and lowered his voice to reveal the message to the audience.

"They quarreled fiercely, the distance was too far for me to hear clearly, I should have been scolding...... Maybe it's because I lost my prey."

Bi Fang looked at the carcass of the slender-horned gazelle that was hidden by the West African crocodile and thought thoughtfully.

The biggest value of the slenderhorn antelope is naturally its pair of slender sharp horns, which are very beautiful and collectible, and it is also an excellent material for carving, but its fur and meat are also very valuable.

In the end, it is a blessing to have a full pair of horns left.

The West African crocodile is small and not a big threat, but it is not easy to get this pair of horns out of it.

Again......

Bi Fang looked at the rock wall, which was more than 20 meters high and close to 30 meters.

Not everyone is a well-rounded athlete like themselves, and it is not easy to get off the top of climbing, swimming, and hunting.

Since it is a homemade earthen gun, it is also a few wild roads.

Then it is not difficult to understand the scolding among poachers, which is nothing more than why the sharp-horned gazelle is forced here to jump off the cliff, and finally turn into a puddle of rotten meat, losing the benefits in vain.

After arguing for several minutes, the sharp-horned gazelle had already been dismembered, and when the crocodiles dispersed, they didn't even see a bunch of sharp horns, obviously not knowing which crocodile had been dragged into the river.

Seeing this, the poachers, who had just stopped, quarreled again, this time for a longer time, almost five or six minutes, and even had no intention of stopping at all, and it intensified.

Then, out of the corner of his eye, he saw a dark shadow fall from above the canyon.

Accompanied by a scream.

It all came to an abrupt end.

！！！

Bi Fang's heart was beating violently, the corners of his eyes twitched wildly, and he slammed the drone's lens to turn it in another direction.

But the audience still saw some pictures, and the entire live broadcast room exploded after a moment of silence!

Murder, this is naked murder!

Not only poaching, but also infighting!

Such a bloody and violent scene made almost everyone watching the live broadcast fall into a stagnation in their thinking.

If you talk about the thrill of hunting animals, you can see the crime scene, then there is only endless panic.

This feeling is like a cold poisonous snake spreading up his spine, cold and piercing.

If it weren't for Bi Fang's identity and proof, it would be impossible for his live broadcast to continue at this time.

An unprecedented barrage emerged.

[Hasty and hasty! 】

[Am I mistaken!! 】

[They pushed people down!] 】

[It's a crime, a crime!! 】

Almost all of the barrage carried a huge number of exclamation points, as if this was the only way to reflect the excitement of the audience at this time.

And even worse.

The crocodiles that had just dived into the river exploded again, and the lake made a splash, and the predators were once again attracted by the strong smell of blood.

A gazelle is too small for these guys to share.

The audience could not see this scene

, I can hear the sound of water, and my heart is extremely throbbing.

Bi Fang's breathing almost stopped, and at this time his ears against the wall could not hear anything, as if the person above had disappeared and fell into an eerie stillness.

When the voice sounded again, judging from the tone, it seemed to be a question.

Obviously, the poachers couldn't believe that this was happening.

But what greeted this questioning was not communication, nor insults, but a gunshot, and another black shadow fell, falling heavily on the crocodile.

Bi Fang was completely dumbfounded.

Alpha on the side fell into uneasiness, and kept trying to leave, but he was firmly held down by Bi Fang.

This...... What's going on?

Just now it can be explained by accident, but now what's going on?

Bi Fang couldn't figure out what was going on above, and his brain fell into chaos.

What should I do now?

Two black shadows fell in a row, and the West African crocodile fell into a carnival.

The strong smell of blood made Bi Fang a little sick to his stomach.

At this time, as a bystander, he received a lot of psychological impact.

There were two more shadows hovering in the sky, like lingering deathbringers.

Finally, the roar of the motorcycle rang out again, and the last person was leaving!

Bi Fang's consciousness returned to reality, and he quickly reacted to the extremely messy scene on the scene.

Can't let him run away like this!

This is completely no man's land, and if you let the other party go away like this, you may really let them get away with it!

A small drone quickly flew up to the top of the cliff, and the next moment the audience saw the figure of the fleeing poacher in their sight.

But there is no straight face.

Without the slightest hesitation, the drone quickly moved forward, and finally caught the face of the poacher before the motorcycle was completely out of sight!
