Live Wilderness Adventure

Chapter 811: Golden Scorpion

In the desert, Bi Fang used a flat stone to shovel the sand, and manually dug a tunnel for himself according to the standard of one person's width, as a shelter for tonight.

Build a shelter to avoid the sun so that you can rest, but also need shelter from the wind and cold nights.

To conserve energy and fluids, it's best to build your shelter during the colder nights. Surround yourself with rocks for protection from wind and sand, or dry riverbed walls, but be aware of those that may rain heavily or often have intermittent The river bed of the flood.

“Use fabric to build a tent, with the hem unrolled and rolled up during the day to increase air flow, and compacted with rocks at night. Don’t lie directly on hot ground. The bed has to be raised so the air can circulate under you.”

If you're a lost traveler, don't get stranded in a metal-clad vehicle or plane, the temperature will quickly rise to unbearable levels in the hot sun.

But they're a good material for you to use to prop up a shelter, build a shelter in the shadow of an airplane wing, or dig a big hole under a car, taking advantage of the shade from rocky overhangs and dry river beds, taking advantage of the hollow A double-layer approach to insulation and cooling.”

[A car that is exposed to the sun will burn you even if you sit in it]

【That's right】

[The surface temperature in the Sahara is sixty or seventy, right? 】

【Fried eggs are definitely okay】

Throwing a fluff of fine sand out of the pit, Bi Fang took a breath, and neatly stacked the stones at the bottom.

The sand is naturally easy to dig, but it is also easy to collapse and slide on the sand when used as a shelter, so it must be supported by strong beams.

It can be wood or stone, as long as the structure is firm, it's fine.

It's just that when you are carrying the stone, don't reach out directly. First hit it with a long stick, and then lift it up to avoid any small animals hidden under the stone.

Many animals that live in the sand hide under the surface during the day, where the days are cool and the nights are warm, so when you dig, beware of scorpions and the like crawling on your hands.

The more extreme the environment, the more aggressive the creatures living there are, because they must seek opportunities to kill with one blow, otherwise they are very likely to die because they cannot catch their prey.

You can't tunnel in sand, you have to have support material, hey wait we're in luck.

Bi Fang, who was trying to build his own nest tonight, stopped and used a stick to lift the stones, exposing the shadows under them to the last sunset.

【What happened】

【What, what, what is it】

[I bet fifty cents, there are shoes under the stone! 】

The sand is dark red, maybe it's the effect of light and shadow, or the other party is hiding so well that many people glanced at it for the first time, but they didn't see anything.

Bi Fang knelt on the ground, resting his elbows on the ground, bringing the distance infinitely closer.

At this moment, the audience finally saw everything clearly, and they were terrified, because there was a huge golden scorpion less than 30 centimeters in front of Bi Fang!

The scorpions normally seen are usually only one to two centimeters, but the one in front of me is actually half the size of a palm!

Even the color is very close to the surrounding sand, almost exactly the same. If Bi Fang hadn't pointed it out, many people wouldn't even be able to spot it.

We were lucky enough to find the Israeli golden scorpion, a type of scorpion that is translucent and yellow in appearance and is one of the most poisonous animals in the Sahara desert and in the entire world.

Although they look small and fragile, they are very dangerous. Their venom is a mixture of neurotoxins. Although the dose of venom is usually not enough to kill an adult, it is absolutely deadly to children and the elderly. of.

But what's interesting is that this guy's venom is very valuable. One gallon, or almost four liters of venom, is worth almost 40 million Ugly Gold, or nearly 300 million Huaxia coins, because it contains ingredients that can assist in the development of new drugs. The component scorpion chlorotoxin is helpful for the treatment of cancer cells in the brain and spine.

[? ? ? 】

[Fuck, so expensive? 】

[Is this price a bit outrageous? 】

[Is it too late to raise it now? 】

[Thinking too much, it's so easy to do, why haven't I heard of anyone making a fortune from this? 】

Indeed, one gallon, four liters, first of all, the process of obtaining the venom is not easy, and each golden scorpion can only provide a maximum of two milligrams at a time, which means that you need to squeeze the poison at least 2.64 million times before it is possible to collect 1 gallon of venom.

【That's all right】

【Let's just work honestly】

Bi Fang carefully looked at Jinxie, and made a gesture with his fingers.

The male of the golden scorpion is usually seven to eight centimeters, and the female is a bit bigger, about eight to ten centimeters. The one in front of us should be a female with a large body.

Bi Fang pulled out the dagger, flipped the scorpion over and held it down, looked at its abdomen, and confirmed his judgment.

There are a pair of feather-like nodular organs in the abdomen of scorpions. There are more male scorpions and fewer female scorpions. We can judge males and females by looking at the number of teeth on the abdominal nodal plate.

In addition, there is the ratio of the width of the trunk to the width of the telson. The male scorpion is less than 2, and the female scorpion is greater than 2. The length of the tentacles is short, the male scorpion is short, and has dentate; the female scorpion is long, without dentate, and the final reproductive cover Hardness, the male scorpion is hard, and the female scorpion is soft.

【Useless knowledge increased】

[I bet fifty cents, this will be Fang Shen's dinner today. 】

[I bet a piece, this thing is to protect animals, Lao Fang will let it go]

[I'll add a pack of spicy strips, let's take part in the bet! 】

【Stay away from gambling and drugs, cherish life】

Hahaha, someone is right, it is indeed going to be my dinner, this guy has a wide range of branches, you can tell by the name, it is obviously the Israeli Golden Scorpion, an Asian name, but even Africa is everywhere.

However, it moves very quickly and is very aggressive, so if you are not familiar with its offensive methods and behavior, I suggest preparing a longer iron clamp to subdue it for safety.

After all, even if you are an adult male with a strong physique, there is a high probability that you will not die if you are bitten, but with the environment of the Sahara, the probability becomes 100%.

Under the bright silver dagger, the golden scorpion struggled continuously. A pair of golden tongs clamped the blade, and its long tail pierced through the air at an extremely fast speed, but it was all in vain.

Scorpion venom is a protein, which can be denatured and inactivated only by high temperature, so if we roast it with fire, it will definitely be a delicious dish.

Although golden scorpions dig burrows and live alone, they tend to gather in one place and dig their own burrows. We can look for them again, and maybe we can find some more.

As the sky darkened, Bi Fang scooped up today's dinner.
