Chapter 871: Black Rhinoceros

The scientific name of the baobab tree is the Bobab tree, and the shape is very peculiar, the round torso is like a bucket, the crown of the top of the tree is huge, the branches are strange, and the overall shape is like a carrot stuck upside down on the ground.

It can grow very large, can be more than 12 meters in diameter, and it takes more than 40 people to hold hands to circle it.

However, most baobabs are not tall, only about 10 meters.

It's full of treasures, so to speak, if everyone in Africa had a 10-meter-tall baobab tree, at least half of the problem of eating could be solved.

The diameter of the baobab tree in front of me is not so exaggerated, but when it comes to the roots, it is also very majestic, like a stone wall painted with white ash in front of you.

However, at this time, the audience was more curious about the bread-flavored fruit in Bi Fang's mouth.

[Is it really bread flavored?] 】

[Nature is really wonderful, there are such trees]

[Humpty and chunky, I feel so cute]

[This bird is also very smart, the trunk is so thick, the snake can't climb up, it's invincible! ] 】

Snakes can be said to be the natural enemies of most birds except for the birds, and they especially love to eat eggs.

There are few trees on the grassland, dozens of meters away, only the baobab tree, its thick trunk snake cannot be entwined and climb, and there are no other trees next to it, so it is impossible to move from the close branches.

I have to say that it is indeed a good place to build a nest, no wonder you can accumulate a huge nest.

"I don't know if it's bread, but I don't know if it's true or not."

Bi Fang smiled and shook his head.

Survival in the wilderness, one law can be used for all laws.

The solution depends on methods and skills, rather than finding the exact same set of questions, which will not be able to pass until death.

Bi Fang knows a lot about various plants, such as a number of treasures, but that is all knowledge, not practical experience.

Many plants know what is going on, what they look like, what they do, what they do, what they smell, but in fact they may not have seen it, and baobab is like this, but it is only known that it smells like bread, but this is only knowledge that tells him that it is like this.

Now is a great opportunity to practice.

Baobab trees bloom and bear fruit in October.

It's October.

On the short branches, in addition to a nest of huge birds' nests, there are a lot of navy blue fruits hanging on the big tree, which are very large.

It's a good time again.

"It's lucky to come across a baobab tree on the grassland, many people have never seen it in their lives, let alone tasted its fruit."

As soon as he said it, Bi Fang took off the rope from his waist, tied a fist-sized stone to the end, and tried to throw it at the branch.

The baobab tree is still so big and smooth that it is not practical to climb it, so you have to rely on ropes or ladders.

Fortunately, although the tree is thick, it is not tall, and the whole tree looks like a beer barrel with a big belly.

From a distance, the tree does not seem to grow on the ground, but is inserted in a vase with a big belly, which is why it has the nickname "bottle tree".

After several attempts, Bi Fang successfully threw a stone and hung a branch.

After hanging the rope down, he twisted it together, grabbed it in his hand, and climbed straight up the tree trunk.

Seeing this, Harley also sat down, yawned, and looked around boredly, keeping a little vigilant.

After so many days of wilderness survival, Harley also realized that there were many dangers on the grassland, and there were days when there was no food, and life was far less comfortable than before.

Grabbing the hemp rope in his hand, Bi Fang came to the treetops little by little.

In the face of the sudden visit of the "giant", the nesting birds in the entire nest became restless, and quickly flew out from each exit, and one after another black shadows flashed rapidly in front of them.

There were so many birds that Jerry on his shoulder was so frightened that he suddenly got into his arms and didn't dare to show his head.

Bi Fang's eyes were quick, and he grabbed one of them directly in front of everyone's eyes, and then stuffed it into his pocket.

"There are a lot of nest weavers, and we can also see if there are any eggs, and it is good to stew and drink soup at night."

[Lying down, catching birds with bare hands, this is also too awesome]

[What the hell, I see that it's all afterimages, can I catch this? 】

【Heaven and Earth Net Potential, Yes (Dog Head)】

[I report, Fang Shen is practicing martial arts! ] 】

Although Bi Fang has repeatedly made amazing moves, every time he makes it, there will still be a lot of people who are shocked.

Nest weavers are social animals, which are relatively rare among birds.

The nest they built was like a group apartment, but unfortunately there were fewer exits to this apartment, and there were more birds, so they couldn't fly out all at once.

As the barrage said, if you really let the snake crawl in, you really enter the big cafeteria, and you can eat for free.

Dynamic vision plus nerve reflexes, catching these birds coming out of the hole with divine help, is like hitting the palm of your hand.

When no birds flew out, eight nest weavers lay in Bi Fang's bag.

The size of this bird is only slightly smaller than that of a pigeon, and some are even as big as a pigeon, whether it is a barbecue or a stew, it is very good.

[I dodged the snake, but I didn't hide from the old party]

【Nest Weaver: 6】

【What do you want to taste?】

[This nest is really big, I've never seen such a big bird's nest, it's really amazing]

"There are so many holes, and it is conservatively estimated that there are more than 100 nest weavers living in it, nearly 150, which can be regarded as a big family."

When it was over, Bi Fang didn't forget to reach out and dig it out of the nest, and really took out a lot of bird eggs for him.

Many poultry don't lay eggs like mammals, and they need to find a good season to eat, often to lay eggs when they have food, and Bi Fang is not surprised by this.

Even if you don't get the fruit of the baobab tree on this trip, just looking at these eight birds, plus a lot of eggs, is already blood.

It's a pity that the next time I see it, I don't know if there will be such a good opportunity.

Zipping up the backpack to prevent the nesting bird from escaping, Bi Fang followed the branch to the end, took the stick from behind, and struck at the fruit the size of a papaya, breaking one in a few strokes, and the fruit fell naturally under the action of gravity, smashing on the ground, leaving a small pit.

Harley under the tree was startled by the sudden sight of the fruit, and cautiously leaned forward to smell it, but before he could smell anything, another fruit fell down beside him.

The cheetah was frightened and immediately left the tree and ran more than ten meters away.

It wasn't until Bi Fang knocked down seven or eight fruits, came under the tree and shouted, that it dared to come closer.

"Cowardice."

Bi Fang knocked on its head and tied the fruits together with a rope, ready to hang them directly on his body later.

Each of these fruits is the size of a large papaya, and you can't fit it in eight bags, so you have to use this method.

In addition, Bi Fang also made a lot of leaves.

"The leaves of the baobab tree are rich in vitamins and calcium, and their tender leaves are a favorite vegetable for the locals. The leaves can be used to make soup or feed horses; After the leaves are dried and mashed, they can be used as a seasoning. ”

"Not to mention the flowering fruit, the seeds themselves can be dried and used as coffee beans."

Can all the leaves be eaten?

Coffee bean?

So much use?

"Not only that, but the inside of the baobab tree is hollow, and many people will even directly cut a door and live in it."

[I'm rubbing, this tree is too useful, isn't it?] 】

[Let me count, it can store water, the fruit can be eaten, the leaves can be eaten, and it can be used as a house, it is completely a treasure tree! 】

[It's a bit awesome......]

"It's a lot."

Bi Fang looked at the front and felt sincerely happy.

If you don't want to continue north, live directly on this baobab tree, you don't have to worry about food at all.

The eight fruits he plucked were only a small part of the tree, and there were still a lot of them hanging.

Finally, Bi Fang went to the tree, pulled out his dagger and inserted it, ready to get some water to drink.

Usually, it is more troublesome to obtain water, and I can't drink it freely, but now I finally have the opportunity, of course, I have to indulge it.

The water stored in the trunk is filtered by the trees, so it does not need to be boiled for sterilization and disinfection.

The bark of the baobab tree is not hard, and the dagger can be easily inserted into it, and it is only after Bi Fang pulls it out that everyone understands how exaggerated the so-called "water storage tower" is.

Just inserted a slit with a dagger, and it actually came out directly, endlessly!

Bi Fang hurriedly took out the kettle and continued, waiting until the tree itself slowly healed itself and the sap decreased, and drank all the water in the kettle in one go.

The surging sourness, the thin sweetness, a rather complex flavor spreads in the mouth, and it is not unpleasant.

【How's that, what does it taste like?】 】

[It must be watery]

[Go alone to a 6]

【I want to drink it too】

[This water output is too large, right?] 】

[It's a bit outrageous, isn't it said that it is water absorption, how does it feel the same as the hollow one inside]

"Actually, it doesn't taste much, it's too thin, it's about the same as water, but it's not unpleasant."

Bi Fang gave his own evaluation.

If the flavor is strong, that's fine, the problem is that the flavor is too thin, and it's a bit of a mixed weirdness, but it's okay.

"If you want to say hollow, it's actually not bad, the baobab tree itself is full of water, no different from a water tower, and because the baobab tree is very viable, digging a hole in the tree to get water will not endanger the life of the baobab tree, so the local villagers can recycle the water from the baobab tree."

"Some even dig holes directly in the top of the tree, and when there is no water, they use buckets to fill them."

[Outrageous]

[It would be nice if it could be planted on a large scale]

[It's a pity that it's impossible, otherwise I wouldn't have never seen it]

[Can you buy the fruit of the baobab tree in the market?] 】

[I don't know, but as long as you have money, you can't buy anything]

"Alright, we're almost done exploring, let's go back quickly."

I wanted to see the situation near the camp, but I didn't expect to come across baobab trees and a large nest of nesting birds, which was simply delightful.

Bi Fang couldn't restrain his emotions, thinking about returning to the camp quickly, packing up his things, and tasting the taste of breadfruit again.

Next to him, Harley was equally interested.

It didn't know if the breadfruit was good or not, but it could see the birds stuffed in Bi Fang's backpack.

I don't know what it's like.

The small-headed cheetah's thoughts are not so complicated, only thinking about what to eat today, and its head can't support too complicated thinking, but before it can figure it out, it was pressed by a big hand first, and then heard an exclamation.

Both Android and Apple are available. 】

"Black Rhino!"

The cheetah didn't know why, it couldn't understand human speech, but when Harley looked up and saw the pitch-black behemoth in the bushes not far away, the creature instinct made it want to retreat.

Bi Fang glanced at Harley, who was retreating, and was very pleased: "Yes." ”

When danger comes, Harley still has a way of sensing it.

Compared with Bi Fang's behavior at this time, the audience only has the quintessence of the country left in their hearts.

[, black rhinoceros! 】

[, it's so big! ] 】

[Damn, this is too big, right?] 】

[Black Rhino Armor, Fit!] 】

Bi Fang took the cheetah to lie down silently, and the drone on the side flew forward, came to the depths of the bushes, and took pictures more carefully.

With its large size, sharp head horns, and thick shoulder armor, this is a big killer in every way.

If you are in a zoo, it looks naturally majestic and majestic, plus a little silly, but in the wilderness, it brings people a strong sense of threat, and some hearts are beating.

Not to mention those peculiarities, the rhinoceros is currently the second largest animal on land after the elephant, with a body length of nearly 5 meters and a weight of up to 6 tons.

In the face of creatures that may explode at any time to take their own lives, how can the audience not be afraid.

Bi Fang was full of interest and was very happy: "We really ran into a black rhinoceros, our luck is really good!" ”

For others, encountering a black rhinoceros in the wild is a scary experience, but for him, as long as he is careful, it is a complete adventure to increase his knowledge.

[Lao Fang, you are really not afraid of death]

[What are you afraid of, standing in front of you is the king of the world's adventures, the world's first jungler, the warrior who kills the black bear with his bare hands, and just a black rhinoceros,]

[It's small, it's my pattern that's small]

[Go alone to a 6]

"Black rhinos used to be found in much of sub-Saharan Africa, but now their range has narrowed to southern Africa and Kenya."

"Now there are no more than 4,000 black rhinos in the whole of Africa, only about 3,000, and the subspecies in West Africa is even more extinct.

Bi Fang's tone was slightly excited.

Rhinos live mostly solitary and have little contact with each other, only the white rhinos live in groups of about 10 individuals, and most of the time they avoid humans, and it is difficult to see them on the savannah unless they are searched by drones.

"Besides, although it is very large, we don't need to worry too much, the rhinoceros itself is a relatively docile animal, and it is easy not to fight."

"Male rhinos during the mating period, female rhinos that nurse young rhinos are easily stimulated and should not be actively provoked."

"Despite their bulky size, they can still walk or run at a fairly fast pace, even in thorny forests, such as the African black rhino, which can reach speeds of up to 45 kilometers per hour over short distances, so adult rhinos have no enemies other than humans."

"But this is actually the same as all animals, the instinct to survive better."
