Chapter 864(1/2)
: Sit back and wait.
Smoke emitted from the extinguished bonfire.
On the dead tree next to it, the baboon was restrained, its hands and feet tied to the bark, and its entire body curled up into a ball, squeezed between two thick tree roots exposed on the ground, and it made a low and slow breathing sound.
The cheetah leaning under the rock on the other side was also purring slightly.
Bi Fang woke up from his sleep, first checked the surrounding environment, and after confirming that there were no dangers or other animal footprints, he got up to prepare for today's activities.
He first collected some black-gray charcoal ash, then found a relatively vigorous tree nearby, climbed up and took some branches.
Pushing aside the tree wrapping the branches, Bifang crushed one end and rubbed it on a stone. After the broken end was ground into dense fibers, he stained the end with some charcoal dust and used it as a toothbrush to brush his teeth.
There is a slight burning sensation in the mouth, but fortunately it is not strong.
Normal operation should be to add charcoal ash to water to make charcoal ash water, and then use it as toothpaste to brush your teeth, otherwise it will easily irritate your mouth.
If conditions are good, you can also add some aromatic plants to sterilize. Unfortunately, we don’t even have water to drink, let alone use it to make toothpaste.
After briefly washing up and spitting out the charcoal ash in his mouth, Bifang put on his backpack and woke up Harley from his deep sleep.
Finally open the live broadcast.
[Although the National Day is over and I have to go to work again, I still choose to watch the live broadcast (dog head)]
[Reasonable, work is labor in exchange for reward, fishing is the real money making]
[Make money from the boss fiercely]
【Are we going to find the water source today】
The baboon next to the tree also woke up at the sound of Bifang's movement, and continued howling. After calling for a while, it found that it was ignored and gradually became quiet again.
Bi Fang came to it at this time and checked the baboon's condition.
[Heshan’s smile]
【Give me some salt, salt】
[Subway, old man, mobile phone face]
"Drinking water is an innate behavior that is mainly caused by two different types of thirst. One is osmotic thirst caused by increased blood osmotic pressure, which drives animals to drink pure water."
"The other is hypovolemic thirst caused by fluid loss, in which the animal seeks both water and minerals, usually salt, to restore blood volume."
"Although the causes are different, the two states have some external manifestations, such as skin laxity, which are basically common to mammals."
Bi Fang picked up the baboon and prevented it from turning its head casually to avoid biting him.
Then he reached out and pinched the back of his neck.
"If you have dogs or cats at home, you can try pinching the back of their necks a little. If they are well hydrated like humans, their skin will be firmer and more elastic."
"But if it is in a relatively dehydrated state, if you pinch the area on the back of its neck, it will feel very loose."
"The second is pacing back and forth. When animals feel thirsty and cannot find water to drink, they will become restless and then pace back and forth somewhere, accompanied by a certain amount of listlessness, and sometimes
Slobber."
No one could clearly tell that the baboon was depressed because the baboon had been depressed since it was caught yesterday.
The drooling aspect was indeed shown. Previously, Bifang had seen a sleeping baboon subconsciously licking its mouth.
This is also one of the symptoms of thirst.
When you are thirsty, you will lick your lips unconsciously and moisten your mouth subconsciously to relieve your thirst.
This is of course useless, and will instead aggravate moisture loss.
But it does not affect the instinct of animals to do this.
Judging from various performances, it is almost certain that the baboon is thirsty, and to a considerable extent.
"Let's wait a little longer until eight or nine o'clock. At that time, we have the best visibility and are least likely to be lost. We can also let the bullets fly for a while."
It's just less than six o'clock, and it's not completely bright yet. Letting the baboon go at this time is not the best option.
There is no time limit for this live broadcast task, and Bi Fang is not in a hurry.
Bi Fang collected materials nearby, rekindled the bonfire, then found a few straight branches, sat on the rocks and started cutting.
After the spearhead is made, place it on a bonfire to blacken it.
"Wood is carbonized after being burned, and the spatial structure of the molecules changes, so it becomes harder. However, don't bake it for too long. Just remove a certain amount of moisture. If it burns for too long, it will become loose and brittle due to burning.
"
I made several spears as weapons and chatted with the audience for a while.
Looking in the direction of the tree shadows on the ground, Bi Fang confirmed the time, came to the baboon, and untied the knot.
"It's eight o'clock, it's time to set off."
"At this time, the baboon will not care who follows it to find the secret water source."
The baboon squatting on the ground watched as the rope on the tree trunk suddenly loosened and finally fell to the ground, raising some dust.
Then his hands and feet suddenly relaxed.
The baboon, who originally thought he was about to be eaten and howled crazily, was momentarily stunned, but quickly realized what he was doing and ran away quickly.
"Quick, quick, keep up!"
Upon seeing this, Bi Fang immediately grabbed his backpack and called Harley behind him to follow him.
As a result, on the vast African savannah, one man and one leopard started chasing a monkey. During this period, Bifang had to pay attention to the cheetah not to run too fast, so as not to directly catch the monkey.
But there are problems.
After running for nearly twenty minutes, Harley was panting and unable to keep up.
The baboon's secret water source is much further away than Bi Fang thought.
The baboon was on all fours, and the speed was not very fast. For the cheetah, it was just a jog. But it couldn't hold on for twenty minutes in a row.
Seeing this, Bi Fang didn't hesitate much and passed the rope through the cheetah's limbs. After quickly fixing it, he directly carried the cheetah behind his back.
Harley is still a sub-adult, slightly smaller than an adult cheetah. In addition, Bifang's backpack only contains a Gambia rat, an empty water bottle, preserved fire, some plant ashes, and a few spears on his body.
Only about forty kilograms.
The forty kilogram load was not too difficult for Bifang when the temperature was not too high.
Some soldiers with strong qualities can also do it, but in the eyes of the audience, it is also an extremely awesome thing.
On the contrary, if you don't carry it, something might happen if something unexpected happens.
This is just like parents who cannot safely let their children run around in the supermarket alone.
[Fuck, hang]
[Fang Shen: This thing runs so slowly, do you deserve to be called Yellow Lightning? 】
[The earth’s golden flash, right?]
[Harley: Who am I, where am I, how can I fly? 】
[Formal video of early humans taming the wild monkey king]
[Baboon: What’s going on behind you, shit, cheetah, shit, a person running with a cheetah on his back! 】
【Formal? I want to see the formal one!】
[You know how to record videos]
[I saw in this live broadcast that designing complex tools, formulating complete strategies, using other organisms, patiently waiting for the opportunity, well-developed sweat glands, strong cardiopulmonary function and muscle recruitment capabilities, and sufficient joint range of motion, indeed, talents are
monster.】
【Talent is an endurance monster!!!】
[I really envy Lao Fang’s physical fitness. If I had this body, I would definitely become the most handsome guy in the gym]
[There is a saying, even if you don’t know anything else, you can still function well in society with Fang Shen’s physical fitness.]
Nearly a quarter of an hour passed.
After running for so long, even Bi Fang was exhausted and sweating profusely.
He had not drank water for more than a day, and his throat was almost smoking.
Finally, the hard loess on the ground turned into hard rock. The baboon jumped on the uneven rocks and disappeared in front of everyone in a few flashes.
By the time Bi Fang felt that a small dark cave had appeared in front of him.
Bifang put Harley down and no longer rushed in. Instead, he sat at the entrance of the cave and rested for a while.
The baboon found the cave with such purpose, it is self-evident what is inside.
The target has been found, so there is no need to rush.
"Even if there is no water source in a rock cave like this, water droplets will gather and flow to form puddles during the alternation of day and night."
Bi Fang was sweating and explained to the audience.
