Live Wilderness Adventure

Chapter 486 Caving

Rainy days are a common holiday for all animals, which also explains why many people feel particularly peaceful when they hear the sound of rain.

Our ancestors probably also rested when it rained.

Rainy days = rest days, which may be common to both humans and animals.

"It's a pity, I still have to work hard for food in rainy days, and the iron bacteria behind me are dead, making me feel like I'm carrying a large iron ingot." After walking for a while, Bi Fang began to pant.

If it weren't for the coir raincoat, my shoulders would have been blistered by the rattan.

[Unfortunately, I have to go to work on rainy days]

【Unfortunately, I have to do my homework on a rainy day】

[Unfortunately, I still want to order takeaway on rainy days]

【Is it raining over there? 】

【Yes, Dog Head Bodyguard】

"The ground hadn't dried out yet, but now it's even wetter. When we go back, we need to re-wrap it with a layer of leaf bark."

Bi Fang raised his foot in the mud, every step was like stepping in a swamp, and strange bugs crawled out from the ground from time to time.

The edible ones were caught, washed in clean water, and thrown into backpacks.

If you can't eat it, throw it back into the mud, and watch its tail shake out of the mud.

Pieces and pieces, but barely enough for a meal.

Eat bugs today!

"In the rainforest, if you are familiar with the animals and plants and can resist nausea, food is actually not difficult to find."

Bi Fang felt like an old farmer planting rice seedlings in a paddy field, the mud under his feet, with wheat seedlings in his hands, and he took a step to insert a hole.

"Now the bison should still be on their way. I don't know if it has gone to its salt mine base. I have been waiting for it for three days. I don't eat salt for a week. I feel uncomfortable. I don't add salt. May it be called the strongest buffalo!"

【Bison: Thank you Carl, this is the honor of my life】

[What is Karl? 】

[Our God wishes to call you the strongest! 】

[White-legged Buffalo: There is a human over there who has followed me for three days, and now I am so scared]

[Scared Daniel read the Wildlife Protection Law overnight]

noon.

Bi Fang was wandering around like a ghost, looking for anything to eat. When he encountered a hole, he would go in and dig it out. When he saw a fruit, he would go up and pick it.

"For small mammals, they are not strong enough to withstand heavy rains, like foxes, mice, rabbits and other small mammals generally have their own dens."

"Many burrowing mice, such as rabbits and mice, will hide in their holes when it rains heavily. Their holes are built on relatively high ground and are not easy to be flooded."

"But there are always exceptions. Although squirrels build their nests in dry tree holes, they will use their fluffy tails as umbrellas in rainy days, so we may not be able to find anything. I hope We'll have better luck."

The little squirrel is much braver than other animals in the heavy rain.

Some seemingly weak animals have unexpected adaptability to heavy rain.

Bi Fang, who was covered in green leaves, climbed up a big tree, stretched the branch in and poked it. After a while, a big furry squirrel jumped out. Just as he was about to escape, he was caught by a big hand.

Fortunately, Bi Fang was kind and didn't let him live in fear for too long. With a click, the spine broke, allowing the young squirrel to see the nut paradise early.

"Hey, it seems we are lucky, we have lunch."

This squirrel was unexpectedly big, and Bi Fang couldn't fully hold it with one hand. It was estimated to be almost a catty, and it was extremely fat.

Very rare.

"I've grown so much fat before autumn, it seems that I'm living a good life." Bi Fang wiped the squirrel in front of him, stuffed it into the bag, and continued to reach out, "I don't know if I'm so fat. Are there any nuts left for us, nuts are a good thing, the essence of plants, rich in protein and a lot of oil and vitamins."

After digging for a while, branches and dead leaves were thrown on the ground, as well as some broken fruit shells.

"It's not very lucky. Before autumn, the squirrels didn't hoard any food." Bi Fang clapped his hands, climbed down the trees, and took off his bamboo hat to shake off the rain.

"The rain seems to have stopped?"

Bi Fang was surprised to find that there were no raindrops falling on his head. He raised his head, and the frequency of water droplets falling in the forest was slower than in the morning.

After waiting for a while, the raindrops fell less frequently.

"It's really stopped." Bi Fang was a little surprised.

After more than two days of rain, it finally stopped.

"Hurry up, it's time to hit the road." He quickly picked up the bark frame on the ground and continued to track the bison.

"Although it has just rained, it took us several days to catch up like the first time. The remaining traces on the ground are still very obvious. As long as, wait, this is..."

Bi Fang stopped the car suddenly, looking in surprise at the hill in front of him and the huge dark cave under the hill.

"Cave?"

He suddenly lowered his head and looked at the footprints of cows' hoofs that went in and out on the ground. In front of the dark cave, there was almost a smooth road. Except for the stubborn weeds, there were obviously fewer bushes, which indicated that animals often passed by on this road, and animals It's not small enough to cause this phenomenon.

Looking at the hoof prints, it is obvious that the bison went in and came out again!

Why did a bison suddenly enter the cave?

Animals don't have as much curiosity as humans, especially in the dark.

Bi Fang's heart beat violently, and he suddenly realized that what he had been looking for might be right in front of his eyes!

Many keen-minded viewers have also noticed this, after three days of searching, finally there is a result?

[Could it be that the front is a salt mine? 】

[It's such a big hole, no wonder the bison can go in. 】

【But, but】

The audience doesn't know what to say

Bi Fang was even more confused, and his emotions rarely fluctuated.

The total distance from the cave to his single-slope shelter is less than 300 meters.

Three hundred meters!

Not even half a kilometer!

"I slept all night yesterday, and today I searched for food all morning, and I didn't even think about going a little farther to see!" Bi Fang held his head, feeling for the first time what it means to be tricked by fate.

If he had been wearing a raincoat and chasing for a certain distance the day before yesterday, he might have taken the salt and returned to the shelter. How could he wait until now, wait until now! ! !

Bi Fang felt dizzy and nauseous.

"Anyway, we should have found the salt mine now, which is a good thing." Bi Fang patted his forehead, feeling a little hot.

This is a good thing, a good thing.

It was a good thing to keep thinking silently in my heart, and after a while, Bi just calmed down.

"In ancient times, both at home and abroad, the control of salt was at the military level. Many civilians who could not eat salt even boiled salt from the walls of pigpens and even the wall soil in toilets."

"They will break up the soil and soak it. After a few days, they will filter out the brine and boil it in clay pots. After the water is boiled dry, the remaining crystals are nitrates."

"This kind of salt is very bitter to eat, and if you eat too much, you will be poisoned. The only thing you can do is to save the emergency so that you don't die because you can't eat salt."

"There are even people who mix different tastes of soil together and find that the salt produced in this way is of better quality"

Bi Fang didn't even mention the more disgusting "urine salt" and "dung salt", which are all true portrayals of the ancient bottom.

【Ah, is it like this? 】

[Salt is so difficult to deal with? 】

How much is a bag of salt in the supermarket?

Many people have never bought this kind of thing, but those who are familiar with it know that it is about one piece.

You can buy a bag of salt for one piece, save a little, and you can eat it for nearly two months.

But apart from the industrial society, salt is life.

Once you understand this, you will know that it is difficult to get salt in the inland and wild.

"Actually, I thought of other ways to find salt before. Mineral salt is not only found by following animals, but also sometimes deposited on many rock walls with water seepage, or on the shore where the water flow is not turbulent."

"Even some trees can actually find salt. For example, the cypress palm, when its roots are boiled dry, it will precipitate black crystals. That is also salt, but I can't find any that you can see."

Thinking of this, Bi Fang felt unlucky, and searched the lower reaches of the two rivers, but couldn't find any mineral salt.

After it rained, the possibility of finding it was even smaller. Even if there was precipitation, it was basically washed away by the rain.

As for Xia Baipal, there is no shadow at all!

"I have done many live broadcasts before, and some of them only lasted a week. As long as the food intake is maintained, although the sodium content is extremely low, there is no problem without salt intake. At best, it is psychological discomfort, which is a little bit far from physical discomfort .”

"Even if there is a live broadcast that lasts for 20 days or a month, it is either only at the seaside and there is no lack of sodium, or it is often possible to hunt large animals, and sufficient salt can be supplemented by blood."

The audience nodded.

There was no shortage of salt at all in the survival at sea, geese and birds often flew in the sea during migration, and large animals were caught, so there was no shortage of all kinds of blood.

This time it was a bit miserable.

Twenty days without salt is not easy. The simplest thing is, why can the human brain control the body?

When a person wants to move a finger, the brain first sends out an instruction, which is transmitted by the nerves, and the transmitted nerve signal makes the finger muscles contract and stretch, so that the finger can move.

The conduction of nerve signals is determined by the potential difference between sodium ions and potassium ions entering and leaving nerve cells.

Without salt and sodium ions, your fingers simply cannot pick up the signal to move even if your brain wants them to move.

People will have symptoms such as listlessness and fatigue. In more serious cases, the limbs will be swollen, the body will be weak, the brain will be depressed all day long, and they will die soon.

But the audience doesn't care about that at the moment.

[Come in, hurry up, get to the camp as soon as possible, and start making iron directly! 】

"Don't worry, let's make a fire first, make a torch and then go in. The bison can go in, which means that there is basically no poisonous gas in it, and it is suitable for living or surviving. There is a high possibility of bats in there."

Bi Fang took out the tinder and the tinder he had prepared in advance.

He kept these things in the funnel bag next to his body, just because he was afraid of getting wet in the rain.

In the rainforest during the rainy season, even dry tinder has to be obtained by chance.

Bi Fang introduced while lighting a fire: "Bats are probably the mammals that hate rain the most. Bats look bald on the surface, but they actually have fur."

"If the bat's fur gets wet, their body temperature will drop rapidly, and the water will affect their ability to fly. Even adult bats need to be kept dry all the time. So in heavy rain, bats will hide in caves, under trees."

"The rain has just stopped, and I feel that there may be a lot of bats squatting inside."

[Why must it be a bat, is there a bird in it? 】

[Can bats be eaten? 】

[I am batman! 】

【The Mystery of Heroine Shadow! 】

[Master Wayne drilled out of it! 】

"It's unlikely that the bird is in the cave." Bi Fang had already successfully lit the torch, hollowed out a bamboo tube, and put sand in it.

"Although birds have feathers, they are not very afraid of rain. Most birds have oil glands. Birds spend a lot of time grooming their feathers every day, which is to apply oil to their feathers, so their feathers It's basically waterproof."

This is also the reason why ducks can play freely in the water without getting wet.

"Some birds even take advantage of the rain to take a bath and clean their feathers. Only the chicks have not yet grown waterproof feathers, and the heavy rain will be a disaster for them."

"Oh, and owl feathers aren't waterproof either, so they don't usually hunt in the rain."

Bi Fang filled the bamboo tube with materials, the process is exactly the same as the gas mask prepared in the wild city.

It's just that the plastic bottle is replaced by a bamboo tube, and the inside is covered with charcoal ash, limestone and some wood chips.

Drill two holes with a stone knife, and put them on the face through the hemp rope. After everything was ready, Bi Fang still didn't go into the hole.

The audience who were just about to watch the cave that Bi Fang explored were almost dying of anxiety. You really went in, and it took half an hour to dawdle!

Bi Fang chuckled, who would be careless about his own life, he grabbed some wet dead branches nearby.

"We can smoke them with salt first, and see if we can smoke them out."

【This is too stupid】

【Are you a dog too? 】

[I'm going, I've been grinding at the entrance of the cave for half an hour, and I'm all bald]

【What a fast car】

"Different woods have different burning properties, and if you want to create a lot of smoke, wet dead wood is the best material."

Putting the torch close to a lot of dead branches, after lighting it, a lot of gray smoke evaporated, Bi Fang quickly entered the cave, and quickly ran out when it was left for a hundred years.

Before running out of the cave, a lot of piercing screams echoed in the cave.

A swarm of bats suddenly rushed towards Bi Fang!
