He looked up at the sky, "The sun has already started to set, and the darkness is not far away, we have to hurry up!"

Chapter 373 I must protect animals in my next life

For myself to survive the sandstorm.

Chen Xu also felt a little lucky. If it really lasted for a few days, let alone being suffocated by smoke and dust, he would die of thirst even if he was thirsty.

The areas near the equator get dark very quickly. Basically, as soon as the sun sets, the sky will be completely dark within 20 minutes.

Gradually, he walked for more than an hour, and the sky began to gradually darken.

"It's getting dark, we have to hurry up and find a campsite for tonight!"

Chen Xu turned around, ready to start looking for a favorable camping place nearby.

However, after searching for a while, I didn't find any favorable natural camping sites nearby. They were all bare, and even if I wanted to build one artificially, there was no material.

"There is no other way. I can only sleep on the ground tonight. In the desert, this kind of thing happens frequently. We have to try to find a leeward place with undulating terrain so that we won't be woken up by the strong wind in the middle of the night."

"Fortunately, compared to ecological environments such as grasslands, mountains, and rainforests, the density of wild animals here is very low."

"However, it is not ruled out that there are medium-sized African carnivores such as jackals, sand foxes, and spotted hyenas. They are also extremely aggressive, especially the spotted hyena group. You have also seen the live broadcast of the Serengeti before. They are definitely A ferocious beast that kills without batting an eye!"

"Let's clear the ground first, and then light the fire. The fire can effectively drive away the beasts and..."

Chen Xu walked around behind a small dirt slope while talking, and used a dead wood to clear away the nearby stones one by one.

But just before he finished his last sentence.

Under a head-sized clod he had pushed aside, a black shadow suddenly appeared, rushing towards his ankle!

Chen Xu reacted extremely quickly!

The first time he saw the black shadow, he quickly jumped back a step, and immediately opened the distance, and then quickly used the dead wood in his hand to hit the attacking black shadow hard!

Snapped!

With a crisp sound, the black shadow was hit directly by the stick, and stopped there dazed, struggling.

Only then did the audience see clearly that the black shadow turned out to be a scorpion!

This black scorpion was much smaller than the rainforest scorpion Master Xu encountered in the Guatemalan rainforest before, about less than 10 centimeters long, covered in a dark hard carapace, covered with yellow dust.

The only obvious feature that distinguishes it from other scorpions is that its tail grows particularly thick, which is almost out of proportion to the body.

And on the huge tail hanging upside down, there is a sharp and huge poisonous hook, just looking at it makes people feel shuddering.

Chen Xu even pointed at the scorpion with a tree stick: "I'm right, everyone must be careful of these rocks and soil clods in the African desert. If I touched them with my hands just now, then I'm going to touch them now." Absolutely stop the live broadcast immediately, and you may even pay the price with your life!"

The audience was shocked, is this thing so scary?

He continued to explain: "This is an African black fat-tailed scorpion, which is a common species in the Sahara Desert. It is highly toxic and a very severe neurotoxin. It is known as the third poisonous scorpion in the world, but it is far more dangerous than the world's No. [-] scorpion. A poisonous scorpion: Israel's golden scorpion is dangerous."

"Although the poison of the Israeli golden scorpion is stronger than it, the detoxification amount is very small. It can only kill the elderly and children, and it does not pose a fatal threat to adults. But it is different. You can see its huge tail and poisonous hook. Well, there is a large amount of venom stored there, and the injection volume is amazing, enough to kill any human being."

"Moreover, they have a ferocious temperament and will attack almost all creatures they see. Therefore, it is also called the Mauritanian Killer Scorpion; it is reported that in the entire North African region, more than 800 people are bitten to death every year by him, Close to 20.00% of all scorpion attacks worldwide!"

While Chen Xu was explaining, the North African black fat-tailed scorpion gradually recovered, its tail raised even higher, and it seemed very angry.

After feeling him, he rushed over again immediately.

"The North African black fat-tailed scorpion attacks very fast. After being frightened, its actions will be faster and more ferocious than usual. The crawling speed can exceed 40 kilometers per hour, faster than us humans, so everyone must be careful. Don't touch it with flesh!"

After speaking, Chen Xu quickly backed up.

And when the North African black fat-tailed scorpion approached within one meter of it, he seized the right moment, stuck a stick in it, and finally pressed it to the ground.

"I caught it! As I said before, almost all scorpions in the world are edible, but we must remove its head and poison sac first!"

While pressing the black fat-tailed scorpion with a tree stick, Chen Xu slowly pulled out the harpoon from his waist with his left hand, and then stabbed it in the head.

And at the same time he stabbed the black fat-tailed scorpion to death, the latter counterattacked on the verge of death, and its poisonous tail quickly stung on the tree stick holding it.

But it is doomed to be in vain.

"Nimma, for such a big adult wild fat-tailed scorpion, Taobao will sell it for at least 1800!"

"Scorpion: NMB, a scholar can be killed and cannot be humiliated, let me go, I want to fight you!"

"To Master Xu, this is a fat and beautiful scorpion!"

"QAQ, in my next life I must be a world-protected animal!"

Afterwards, Chen Xu cut off the scorpion's poisonous sac and poisonous hook.

After finishing everything, he looked around, "Since there are fat-tailed scorpions living here, it means that other poisonous insects are likely to come. This camp is not like before. There is no shelter, and the fire is not off the ground. It can only block one side."

"So, if they come and attack me in the middle of the night while I'm sleeping, it's very difficult for me to guard against. Here, we need to use the indigenous Sahara: a wise method of the Berbers."

"In the desert full of poisonous insects, the Berbers invented an effective scorpion repellant called Kechuan, which is a pungent mucus made of mixed resin from various desert trees. to prevent scorpion invasion."

"Although I don't have so many conditions to make Ke Chuan, I can burn those dead branches into ashes, and then sprinkle the ashes nearby. Although the effect will be much weaker, at least it is better than doing nothing!"

After speaking, he searched for a bunch of dead branches and weeds from nearby, and then took out a pair of flint and steel from his bag, and after rubbing sparks, he set up a fire.

Wait until a small part of the branches are burned to ashes and cool down.

He just picked up the tree ash and sprinkled it around the place where he slept, because he was in the leeward position, and he was not afraid of being blown away so easily by the wind.

After spraying the scorpion repellent, Chen Xu threw the body of the North African black fat-tailed scorpion into the fire and roasted it.

The dinner is indeed available, but the source of water has not been found yet!

Chapter 374 Learn Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry Well

Chen Xu was a little worried, he hadn't drank water for half a day.

Moreover, after being exposed to the sun and sweating all the way, he discharged at least three or four liters of water.

He looked at the scorpion in the fire and swallowed, "To be honest, I don't have much appetite to eat right now."

As soon as this was said, the audience was all stunned.

"666, Master Xu will also lose his appetite?"

"I think this sentence can be selected as the top ten classic cold jokes in the world in 17!"

"Master Xu is setting a flag for our weight loss party!"

Chen Xu looked at the barrage, shook his head and smiled, "Everyone misunderstood, I am not hungry, think about it, I was tired for most of the day, and I only ate a dozen ants, and my stomach was already growling with hunger. But I just don't have an appetite, and I suspect it may be from not being hydrated for so long."

"We all know that 70% of the human body is water. As long as 2% of water loss, thirst and dry tongue will occur; 5% of water loss will cause irritability and loss of appetite; Unconscious and dehydrated up to 15%, it will be life-threatening."

"I have now reached the 5.00% dehydration standard. If it continues to develop, it is easy to cause severe dehydration and lead to coma. The protein and fat content in the body of the scorpion is high, but the water content is low. I have to find another way !"

After explaining, with the light of the fire, he began to look around, trying to find a way to get water quickly.

And the audience felt a little unspeakably distressed seeing Master Xu like this.

Through the high-definition camera of the drone, they could clearly see that Master Xu's entire face was covered with sand and dust. When they looked carefully, they could also find some small white lines, indicating that the skin had begun to dry and crack.

His lips are even more obvious, most of the skin has been dry and wrinkled, and there are even a few pieces of white skin that have turned out in a few places, and there are a few thin bloodstains underneath.

The wrinkles at the corners of his eyes, forehead, and between the brows also increased a lot, as if the lack of water and the sandstorm made him look ten years older.

After a while, the fat scorpion was fully cooked.

Chen Xu pinched it out with a branch, let it dry for more than ten seconds, and then gnawed it down.

Just like other grilled insects, this scorpion is extra crispy, and every time he bites down, he makes a "kaz", "kaz" sound, just like eating potato chips.

In less than 2 minutes, all the murderous scorpions that had been frightening the people of North Africa entered his stomach.

Chen Xu also recovered a lot of strength after puffing his stomach.

"Before I go to bed, I am going to make a small water collector. The junior high school physics book tells a very simple method of getting water from the desert. It is a method of condensing water vapor. It is to dig a hole in the desert, and then put stones and plastic sheets on it. , the condensed water can be collected.”

"However, this kind of bunker is not dug in a random place. You must find a place where there are plants nearby, where there are plants growing, and there must be water in the ground. But if you really want to dig water, you have to dig at least five meters deep. See, I don’t have that equipment, and I don’t have the energy to dig.”

"Using the condensation method is the least labor-intensive and the most cost-effective method. As for the plastic sheet, we can use wild grass instead!"

After explaining, Chen Xu came to a nearby weed.

Then he drew his harpoon from his belt, and used it as a spade, and began to dig at the roots.

Using both knives and hands, he dug a 5-centimeter hole after about [-] minutes.

Then, he found a pile of weeds from nearby to lay it on the bottom, and took a few stones, wiped them with his clothes, put them on the weeds, and covered the top with another layer of weeds, and put himself The turban was pressed up.

"After the pit is dug, the water vapor from the grass roots will come out continuously. Here, I replaced the plastic sheet with wild grass and a scarf, which can also keep the water vapor from leaking as much as possible."

"And the specific heat capacity of the stone is larger than that of the sand. When the sun rises tomorrow morning, the sand will heat up rapidly, while the stone will remain at a low temperature. When the water vapor is cold, a large number of water droplets will condense on it!"

Some viewers who didn't understand immediately realized it when they heard it.

"666, sure enough, if you learn mathematics, physics and chemistry well, you won't be afraid to travel all over the world!"

"It's true, don't ask me why I know, because I have seen the naughty blue cat ask three thousand questions!"

"Why do I remember that it was mentioned in the Legend of the Seven Heroes of Rainbow Cat and Blue Rabbit?"

"23333!"

Chen Xu looked at the barrage without expression.

Because he knows that the water collected in this way is to quench his thirst. If he can't find the real water source tomorrow, he will die of thirst here sooner or later!

In the evening, he chatted with the audience for a while, then turned off the broadcast and went to bed.

Before downloading the broadcast, he deliberately took a look at the data in the live broadcast room.

Since Panda TV launched its international version, its subscribers have approached tens of millions, but the total number of online users has remained stable at less than 500 million.

Among them, there are about 100 million paid subscriptions abroad. According to the subscription price of 0.99 US dollars each, he will share 360%. [-] million RMB.

I have to say that compared to gifts and signing fees, this foreign subscription payment model is more profitable!

However, this number is still much smaller than the last time in Guatemala.

It seems that the international version of Panda TV is not as famous as YouTube.

However, he firmly believes that with the publicity of the PR team, this number will surpass YouTube sooner or later. By then, he will have more money to build clubs, and maybe he can start an outdoor wilderness media company by himself!

After all, he has many classic outdoor reality shows from his previous life in his mind, such as "Law of the Jungle", "21 Days of Primal Survival", and "Alaska Survival Experiment".

If he designs these classic programs and cooperates with those TV media at that time, he believes that while making money, he can also promote his fame!

In this way, his outdoor wilderness empire will be more stable!

Thinking about it, Chen Xu took these questions, wrapped in a windbreaker, leaned against the fire, and fell asleep.

The next day, he was awakened by the sunlight.

After turning on the live broadcast, many people slipped in.

It is now 7:[-] a.m. Libya time. It is already noon in China, but it is still early in the morning in America.

Chen Xu was the first to run to the place where the pit was dug last night.

Because cotton cloth is no better than plastic cloth, after a night of "indulgence" with water vapor, it is already a little wet.

Just right, it can be used to cool down.

After the yellow grass was lifted, the audience hurriedly approached the screen and took a look.

Hey!

It's really like Xu Ye said, at this time, a lot of water droplets have gathered on those few stones, and some of them even flowed onto the weeds below.

Seeing this, Chen Xu looked like a gambler who saw gold, his eyes turned green, he hurriedly got down on the ground, brought his mouth closer, and sucked the water droplets on the stone.

"what……"

After half a day and one night, he tasted the water again, and he couldn't help but let out a contented groan.

Chapter 375 Will Really Die!
