Invincible Chapter 786
In fact, nights in Africa can be really cold.
Even in midsummer, because the overall heat absorption and heat storage effect of the grassland is not enough, and the wind blows everywhere in all directions, the temperature difference between day and night is very large.
Although it is not at the level of the desert, it is normal for the temperature to drop to more than ten degrees in the middle of the night.
Snapped!
Walking in the moonlight, the girl kept patting her body.
Mosquito spray was sprayed, but it didn't help much.
"These mosquitoes are too much. They bite and itch to death, and they are likely to carry viruses, such as malaria. They may even be unique to Africa that we orientals cannot resist. Damn, you still bite."
Jia Long was furious.
Mosquitoes are really annoying, especially in places like Africa, and mosquitos at night are even more annoying.
In a hurry, just when a mosquito bit her delicate face, she slapped herself on the cheek.
Snapped!
"Ouch, it hurts."
The girl slapped herself, grinning in pain.
Laughed in the live broadcast room.
"666, this is the authentic way of slapping yourself in the face."
"Xiaolong, you are too funny, punish yourself."
"It's no wonder that mosquitoes bite you, who made you so tender, if I were mosquitoes would bite you too."
"Yes, bite you a hundred times a hundred times, bite you all over your body, quack quack."
Even Xiao Mao Mao, who pouted her little butt and followed Jia Long step by step, laughed so hard at this moment that she wanted to roll.
"Puchichi, slap me in the face with a rake."
Jia Long's slap made her dizzy, but it made her rational.
"Look, the ground here is a kind of African red mud. If you listen again, there is the sound of water in front. It should be a small river in the grassland."
"I thought of a solution to being bitten by mosquitoes."
She lowered her head and fetched a piece of clothing that was torn but not thrown away.
Spread the clothes on the ground, and then pull out the dagger from the knife sheath on his waist.
Clang, clang.
Digging the soft red mud ground under his feet with a dagger, Jia Long quickly dug out a small pile and put it on the clothes.
"Well, this much should be enough."
After wrapping up the soil, she took Mao Mao and walked to the place where the sound of water flowed.
"Look, the black shadow over there should be a wildebeest, and there are zebras in the distance. This grassland can be said to be full of vitality."
With the help of moonlight, the shadows of animals within one or two hundred meters could still be seen, and Jia Long discovered the traces of suspected wildebeests, zebras and other animals.
Of course, this is only limited to large animals, and smaller ones are not so easy to see.
Crash.
When Jia Long took Maomao and slowly approached the place where there was the sound of water splashes just now, another light and crisp sound of splashing water splashed in the night.
"It seems that the creature that caused the movement is not small. In my estimation, it should be a hippopotamus or a crocodile. It is also very likely that the crocodile is hunting."
Jia Long lowered her body and tiptoed towards the direction of the spray.
Sure enough, in the darkness of night, a gurgling stream appeared.
The moonlight is pure and white, adding to the mystery of this foreign country and wilderness in the haze.
"By the water source in the African grassland, there are usually many animals gathered at night, and this place is no exception..."
Jia Long tiptoed towards the creek.
At the place where the water splash happened just now, Jia Long saw a group of big guys with half of their backs exposed.
They are faintly visible in the water, if not for a small part of their backs exposed out of the water, and there are waves of water ripples around them, perhaps even Jia Long would have missed them.
"Can you see it? There are hippos over there, yes, the kind of hippos we dealt with this afternoon, and obviously, these hippos are all hippos without the symptoms of red eye infection, but they are also very dangerous."
Jia Long lowered her voice as much as possible, and ordered Mao Mao to tiptoe too.
Jia Long was still more than 20 meters away from the small stream, but within these 20 meters, she saw several large and medium-sized African creatures wandering in the grass.
For example, the wildebeest, a large herbivore that I have seen from afar,
And among all the antelopes, the largest African eland, there are also a few small springbok.
In the lower reaches of the stream in the distance, Jia Long also found two huge and bloated figures like hippopotamuses.
"The one over there is a rhinoceros, which is a rare animal in other places, but Africa is everywhere. But we must be very careful about them, and don't take it lightly just because they are rare. Among the animals on the African continent, except for small and medium-sized Most of those outside of their size are deadly to us humans."
The girl's slightly baby-fat apple muscles twitched slightly as she pursed her lips, and her eyes, which seemed to contain bright stars, shone with a little thoughtful light.
The audience in the bullet screen couldn't help but sweat for Jia Long because of the dangerous environment she was in.
Even anyone can see that this girl anchor's ability in the wilderness far exceeds that of ordinary people.
There are even guns in hand that can deal with most animals, but in the African savannah that is full of crises, sometimes, you are not necessarily safe if you have a gun.
"Actually, I have said so many things along the way, and maybe some animals nearby have heard them, but unless it is a top predator, no animal will take the initiative to attack me, because human beings are tall and tall, and they are placed in Africa. Not too small either."
Jia Long has been looking around to see if there are large and medium-sized beasts such as lions, leopards, hyenas, and jackals around, but she hides behind a patch of weeds and stares carefully for a long time, but she doesn't find any shadows of large carnivores.
In the end, she picked a place closest to the water source, and there were not many drinking animals around, and approached there quietly.
"Water is a necessary item for most animals. Many of the natural killings of species in Africa occurred near water sources. Although I had a gun in my hand for protection, I was attacked by a lion hiding in the grass near my feet. , even I can only drink my hatred on the spot, so this process must be very careful."
Jia Long slowly approached the water source, but there seemed to be a faint shadow swaying on the water surface at the chosen location, which made her feel a little frightened.
"No, there should be a few crocodiles in the water, and judging by the rippling of the stream, they are probably the largest crocodiles in Africa—'Nile crocodiles'. I have to find another place to get water."
Jia Long only felt his little heart beating wildly.
In addition to hippos, there are crocodiles in the streams, which is the norm in many water sources in Africa.
"Let's change the place. Such a big stream cannot be full of crocodiles and hippos."
Jia Long tirelessly changed places to avoid danger as much as possible, which was by no means aimless.
But she is very clear that sometimes the most dangerous thing in the grassland is not the lions with their heads and tails, nor the cats such as leopards.
In fact, in Africa, one of the most deadly animals is the unexpected hippopotamus.
There are far more hippos than lions in Africa.
And lion killings are hard to hear in Africa. But hippos are different. Dozens of hippo killings happen every year.
For example, in the recent popular incident, a rich man in Wan province died at the mouth of a hippopotamus. This incident was also because the deceased was originally from Longxia, which was widely circulated on the Internet. As a result, mainland netizens in Longxia and netizens in Wanwan attacked and scolded each other. (Cough, I won't mention this matter, I just said it casually, everyone don't take the rhythm)
"The hippo has a bad temper, and the crocodile's lethality to the animals on the river bank is even more frightening, so it is not a waste of time and energy for me to be cautious."
"You know, we are now in Africa, and it is also the most dangerous nocturnal savannah in Africa."
At some point, the drone no longer had the slightest light on the screen.
Its flying sound also became inaudible, even a little less than the movement caused by Jia Long and Mao Mao's sneaking.
So when Jia Long used her stealth skills to finally minimize the sight of some beasts that were watching her faintly, she finally walked for more than 20 meters in the dark along the stream, and walked to a place with a low risk factor. High banks.
"It's definitely possible to enter the water here."
She was alert to her surroundings again, and then quietly descended to the bank of the stream.
Especially after waiting on the bank for a while, and then quietly looking at the dark stream and some grass on the bank, the trekking poles in her hands were slightly sweaty.
Fortunately, after being vigilant for ten minutes, she felt that there was no movement in the water, so she carefully took out a folding outdoor bucket in her backpack.
Wow...
She didn't care too much, scooped up a bucket of water vigilantly and quickly, and then quickly backed away.
"Walk."
Xiao Maomao imitated Jia Long's cautious appearance, and flew back with Jia Long in a decent manner.
The process of fetching water is the most dangerous and the most frightening.
Because you don't know if there will be a huge Nile crocodile jumping out of the pitch-black stream, and you don't know if there are hippopotamuses interested in you, and they will bite you with their bloody mouths.
Fortunately, Jia Long took the bucket of water with his own boldness and carefulness.
Fifteen minutes later, Jia Long and Mao Mao walked to the bottom of a tree with a huge trunk.
"This tree will be a good shelter for me to rest overnight. I found it just now on the road. Everyone knows that wild animals in Africa are like crucian carp crossing the river. Sometimes you don't know where you are. When will you suddenly flee?" A group of lions came out, or a group of aggressive African buffalo came, so I can’t take it lightly when resting. My plan is to climb on the tree trunk to rest for a while, and then continue on the road after a few hours.”
"As for this tree, everyone will be familiar with it, because it is the famous 'bread tree'. Is it different from the big belly you are familiar with? Hehe, after all, the baobab tree does not have a fixed big belly. For example, this tree is relatively like an ordinary giant tree."
After Jia Long finished speaking, she didn't climb up immediately. Instead, she unfolded the clothes wrapped in red soil and mixed some water from the bucket.
Next, she directly wiped the reconciled 'red mud' on her fair face while the audience was stunned.
"Hey, I prepared so much water just to smear myself with mud. Otherwise, do you think I would drink the raw water that hippos and crocodiles have bathed in? I still have a bottle of water in my backpack, and I haven't reached that level yet." point."
"As for why the mud was applied, let's guess the reason..."
