Wilderness Challenge [Comprehensive British American American Entertainment]

Animals in the desert have their own unique way of survival.

Saharan silver ants are the most heat-tolerant insects in the world. They can use the uniquely shaped hairs on the top and sides of their bodies to build an anti-reflective layer that releases body heat into the air, keeping their internal temperature 10- 20°C.Other animals such as sand lizards, jerboa, wild camels and the bow-horn antelope struggle with fresh water, with water needs ranging from weeks to years, while the bow-horn antelope is said to go without water for life.

These are the animals that will make human tourists say "wow", but there are many more animals in the Sahara that will make human tourists squeal.

For example, the poisonous scorpion named "Death Stalker", as long as it is attacked by its tail once, adults will face the risk of paralysis without dying; for example, desert monitor lizards, they are not only huge hunters, but also the venom in their saliva. It can incapacitate the prey in a few seconds; another example-what Jennifer is facing now.

The shade of the acacia tree is an "oasis of life", but it is a pity that after getting closer, it is discovered that it already has an owner.

A rattlesnake was sitting on the side of the stone pile at the foot of the tree root. It was brownish-gray all over, with diamond-shaped black markings on its skin.Its tail is covered with several layers of horny rings, and it is now swinging at a very high frequency, making a loud warning sound.

Most rattlesnakes in the world can tell their age from their rings.When they are juveniles, there are no rattles on their tails, and many creatures are often attacked only to realize they have entered rattlesnake territory.As the snake grows older, each time it sheds its skin, it will grow a new ring, ring after ring, which can make louder and louder vibrations.All but one of the rattlesnakes is the Santa Catarina Island rattlesnake, which loses a ring every time it sheds its skin, almost as if it were going against its other relatives.

Jennifer held up her trekking pole and stood vigilantly in place, not daring to make violent movements.

The audience in front of the screen was frightened out of their wits by this horrific scene, and all of them recalled the endless reports of injuries and deaths caused by snake venom.

[A man was bitten by a rattlesnake before, and he cut his arm open afterwards, and found that the flesh inside was all rotten, and the whole thing was corroded by snake venom. I was so disgusted that I didn't eat a good meal for several days. 】

【Jenny doesn’t even have pliers, she’s located in Texas. The snake catchers here have special pliers and boxes. In the past, when a snake crawled into the house during a party, she called the snake catcher to catch it and sell it for money. 】

【Help!I am allergic to reptiles!No, I really can't watch it anymore, I'll come back in half an hour. 】

Jennifer was also beating drums in her heart while they were flying out of their minds.

Looking at the number of sets of links on the tail, this is an old snake, probably the most powerful one in this area, without a doubt.But these are not the points that make her heart beat faster.What really made her gasp was the strange shape on the rattlesnake——

Its eyes are gray.

This snake is going to shed its skin!

Jennifer's scalp was numb, and she just felt as if her life was not good.

Snakes are most dangerous just before they molt, when their eyes change color because of the covering of skin.This layer of skin, known as the eyelid, creates a circle of blue light and shadow in the snake's line of sight, greatly reducing the range they can see clearly.The combination of obstructed vision and the intense pain of the moulting period can make the snake more aggressive and less predictable.

It used to be easy with the rattlesnakes.

Rattlesnakes are almost the most troublesome snakes in the world. Think about it, a snake lying on the ground, wagging its tail constantly, deliberately making noises, which is a kind of attraction for prey and other predators This is also a warning, like a person ringing a bell and shouting, "Leave me alone!", "Get out of here!", "Don't beat me!".

Rattlesnakes have no outer ears, so as long as intruders stand still and back away slowly, leaving enough room for the rattlesnakes to escape, they will flee quickly.Sometimes they will also crawl directly over people's feet, maintaining an emotionally stable non-aggressive state.

Humans are too big for normal snakes to risk attacking unless they are threatened.

If someone dares to continue walking towards it after hearing the sound of the tail, the rattlesnake's reaction changes, it will attack with lightning speed, and keep shaking its tail after the thunder strike, as if facing the offender To taunt mercilessly, "Serve it right!", "Are you deaf!", "Didn't you hear my warning!".

However, none of the iron laws above work when it comes to shedding, which is their weakness and they will do anything to protect themselves.

Most importantly, the temperature of the desert is gradually rising, and neither a man nor a snake can give up this shelter.

Jennifer secretly groaned in her heart.

Unlike her hesitation, the poisonous snake seemed to have made up its mind. It swam forward with a snake message, and immediately began to coil its body.

A very, very bad sign!

Rattlesnakes can attack from two-thirds of their body. Unlike other snakes, they do not need to sway forward to charge forward, but only need to coil their bodies tightly.The tighter the pan, the farther and faster the attack.And they don't just attack once, many rattlesnakes will launch a second attack if the offender falls flat from dizziness or shock after the bite wound.

Fortunately, I have two long trekking poles in my hand, otherwise the thick socks that reach the calf cannot prevent the snake's fangs.

Jennifer raised two trekking poles, one of which was held backwards, and the other was stretched out in front of the snake and swayed.The rattlesnake's attention was completely attracted, its body coiled tightly in place, and its eyes were fixed on the shaking staff head without blinking.

Suddenly, it rushed forward suddenly.

The viper opened its jaws wide to drive its barbed fangs deep into its prey, injecting just the right dose of venom, but it miscalculated.What it faced was a cold artificial prop without vital signs.Jennifer felt a huge impact on the trekking pole. She held her breath and continued to shake.

The Rattlesnake struck again at the tip of the staff.

Jennifer pressed the other upside-down trekking pole towards its neck as fast as she could.

Thanks to the manufacturer who made the handshake, thanks to the designer who wrapped the handshake with anti-slip material, thanks to the physical coach, and thanks to the accumulated survival experience in the previous life, this lightning strike pressed the poisonous snake heavily to the ground.

The pressing position is not very good, there is still a distance from the snake's head, but it is enough.The snake could still raise its head, but it could no longer arch its body.She did the same, turned the alpenstock used as bait upside down, and pressed the snake's head.Under the weight of the two trekking poles, the rattlesnake could only frantically twist its tail, and the second half of its body spun around on the ground, but it couldn't continue to attack anyway.

Jennifer just relaxed a little.

The confrontation didn't last long, but she broke out in a cold sweat—unfortunately, the cold sweat had already dried under the hot wind of the Sheshi Desert.A vicious cycle, the sweat is dried by the temperature, and the human body continues to produce sweat. If this goes on for less than a few hours, the players will face the end of dehydration.

In fact, she already felt a little dizzy.

Before the action became more difficult, Jennifer let go of the trekking pole that was holding the back section, and then slapped the snake's neck hard.The rattlesnake was in pain, and the shaking of the rattle became more violent.It twisted the snake desperately, trying to get rid of the tragic fate of death, but all this was in vain.

After several blows, the whole snake hung limply on the ground, motionless.

Not daring to be careless, Jennifer still pressed the snake's head, drew out the knife and cut off the neck quickly, and then pulled the snake's head far away like a bowling ball.

Many people don't know that rattlesnake's bite mechanism is independent at all. Even if their bodies are crushed to pieces, even if their heads are chopped off from their bodies, as long as the inherent sensory system can detect the approach of the prey, the snake head that exists alone Will still attack without hesitation.This reflex can last for several hours, and it is a reminder for many victims of snake venom.

After doing this was not enough, Jennifer checked around the acacia tree to make sure that there was no second snake here, and there were no poisonous scorpions hidden under the stones and in the crevices of the tree roots.

When she finally sat down to rest, the sun had already climbed to the top of her head, and she could see the steaming heat waves outside under the shade of the trees, and even the pictures captured by the camera were distorted to a certain extent.Jennifer spread the processed skinks out in the sun, and stared at a long section of the snake with a knife, thinking about whether to take the risk of drinking the snake's blood.

But before she could take any action, the No. 0 machine suddenly flew close, and played a very small subtitle screen on its own——【Mission completion: 100/[-]. 】

Jennifer: "..."

and many more!

So it doesn't count if you encounter it, you have to take a camera to take a picture? !

She was dumbfounded, and tremblingly lifted the body of Sand Skink, and swayed it in front of the camera.That number hasn't changed at all, and Buddy still maintains the projection posture, and by the way, broadcasts the delightful expression on her face to the audience all over the world.

Jennifer couldn't sit still anymore, she dug out the camera issued by the program team from her backpack, took a picture of the skink and the snake body, and then stared at the subtitles eagerly.

The numbers still haven't changed.

Ms. Davis, who had just completed the feat of killing a snake, was furious. She commented mercilessly:

"Your setting is completely against the hunter's nature. Does it have to be a living animal? Does it have to be a complete thing? Some contestants see animals as animals, and some contestants see animals as prey. What if the Kung Fu prey who took the photo ran away? Look at this sand skink, so much meat, if it escapes, you will pay me? In addition, what if the Kung Fu photo taken by dangerous animals pounces on you? You Look at this snake, how poisonous it is, if I get bitten, will you give me a play-off?"

After explaining this passage, the No. [-] machine kept shaking in place, and the screen flickered.

Jennifer raised an eyebrow.

Thanks to Stark for producing it, even if it is far away, it can be photographed clearly without any blurred marks.She adjusted the lens, and took pictures of the snake head in the distance, and successively took pictures of the skink's internal organs and the head thrown on the back slope, and said as if it was worth it:

"It was the head of a neatly sliced ​​rattlesnake."

"This is the thigh of a nicely tanned skink."

"I've taken a picture of a complete animal, right? How can it be complete? I haven't even eaten a bite!"

After about half a century of silence, the numbers on the blue projection finally changed——

[Mission completion progress: 2/100]

Jennifer stuffed the camera into her bag, pretended to be inadvertently poked the knife in the sand, and wiped off the blood on the knife.
