Jennifer never expected such a weird thing to happen.

No one takes a dog into the desert.

The above argument is not a subjective inference, but a well-known objective situation.

There is no doubt that dogs are good friends of human beings, but in the Sahara, this saying should be expressed in another way: camels are the real good friends of human beings.Camels help nomads carry heavy loads, carry caravans across the desert, provide water and food to survivors when necessary, and also bring a lot of riding experience fees to people engaged in tourism.

Normally, Jennifer is not a person who doubts herself, but at this moment she began to think from the bottom of her heart, whether the high temperature and lack of water in the past two days caused her hallucinations, especially when the screaming stopped after a few seconds, the whole When there is nothing in the space except the humming of the wind.

Silence, silence.

There is a dry river at the foot, a raised soil slope behind, a towering mud ridge in front of you, and endless sand dunes and stone piles beyond the river bank.In a radius of hundreds of miles, there is nothing but a lizard lying on the stone with a face of "I'm very honest", let alone a dog, and there is not even a dog hair.

However, after a moment of silence, the cry reappeared, even raised an octave.

"Wang Wang Wang!"

"..."

Jennifer listened impassively to the bluffing menace, the sandy wind blowing on her face like a knife, telling her that it was indeed in the Sahara Desert, not the one with the shiny lights on the street in Los Angeles. Narrow kennels.

Perhaps because he realized that the intruder was not scared off at all, the weeds growing by the side of the sand nest suddenly trembled.

The sand at their roots was triggered by something, and all flowed towards the bottom of the sand nest.After the shaking stopped for a while, a few came out from under the boulder——

Big fluffy ears.

Oh.

Jennifer put down the outdoor knife and trekking poles without a word.

She remembered that ordinary dogs would not appear in the endless Sahara, but there are some unusual "puppies" in the world.

Nomads use them as a source of food and fur, but in other continents, many inhabitants keep them as pets.

These canids are born to live in the desert environment, eat insects, lizards and snakes, live in comfortable rock caves and sand nests, sleep at sunrise and work at sunset, hiding under the cute bloody appearance With the heart of a beast.

What is a mere human being, even if it is a cosmic thunderbolt invincible and poisonous horned viper, these "pups" dare to yell at it for half an hour.For them, any snake is a perfect dinner as long as the fangs are avoided.

Just as Jennifer retracted the knife and began to take out the camera, the comment section on the other side of the screen also went crazy.

[Does this big ear really exist?Why is there such a cute creature! 】

【ah!Out!There are four of them, they must be a family living together, so cute! 】

【Jenny doesn't want to eat them... Is it too late to let them run away?I'd better start praying. 】

Les looked at the message on the screen, and was the first to call out the name of the small animal: "It's a fennec fox, an aborigine in the Sahara Desert, and the smallest canine in the world."

"It's good luck for completing the task, but it's not very helpful for finding water sources." Bell next to him continued, "The kidney function of the fennec fox is extremely powerful. In fact, many desert creatures have a similar physiological structure , they can get water directly from food, unlike humans who need to drink water."

Why doesn't Jennifer know this?

In her heart, she was half feeling that it took no effort to get the task points, and half was feeling that these small animals were completely useless.

The camera freezes the picture of an unknown species of lizard, and then freezes the picture of the fennec fox sniffing the wind. The program team promised that as long as they are of different types, after the two pictures were saved, the No. 5 machine really played The progress of the game has been improved——【Mission Completion: 100/[-]】

After doing this, Jennifer stepped back cautiously.

Without him, the snapping bird that had drawn her in this direction just now was circling in the distant sky.

It was evening now, and it was the time when desert creatures were active. Lizards, fennec foxes, and eagles all came out to look for food. She didn't want to be inserted into this interlocking food chain.If the little animals are too scared to leave the nest, what will be used to feed the hungry eagle?

Birds of prey attacking humans when they have no other choice are nothing new.

Didn't you see that even a few cameras have turned transparent, don't you want to cause trouble for the players?

Jennifer shook her head, looked around, and finally decided to retreat to the sparse vegetation on the other side of the river bed.

Wings are the talent and weakness of birds. Even blue sheep know that when caught by eagles, they have to run and roll on the hillside and break the wings of predators, otherwise it will be all over once they are taken to the sky.

If the eagle is really going to hunt for dinner in the valley, these dead branches hanging from the cliffs will be a good natural barrier.

It turns out Jennifer wasn't worrying.

Shortly after she reached the opposite bank, the group of fennec foxes that had been interrupted from hunting came out again.

Although facing the threat of natural enemies, they have to go out for food in order to survive.These little foxes set up their huge ears, not only to listen to the sounds coming from all directions, but also use their thin skin to dissipate the heat in their bodies to the outside world.The paws are covered with fluff, which can run quickly in the sand and stone piles.

The lizard, who was still there just now, panicked, and hurriedly jumped away from the beach with strange strides.The fat worm that appeared on the edge of the stone instead of it suffered a disaster. As soon as it came out to let the wind go, it was caught by a sharp beak full of sharp teeth. Jennifer only had time to take a picture of the last picture of it before its death.

Four foxes huddled together, watching and helping each other until one of them was attracted by a skink wandering in the sand.

The eagle finally caught the opportunity it had been waiting for, fixed its eyes on its prey, descended suddenly from a high altitude, spread its wings, stretched out its claws, and swept towards the ground far away.

Its wingspan definitely exceeded [-] meters, and the tips of its flight feathers shook violently against the wind, like a black wizard who descended from the sky, with the corners of his robe hunting in the strong wind of the desert.

Both Jennifer and the audience in front of the screen held their breath involuntarily.

This is an extremely cruel and wild scene.

The giant eagle skimmed in front of the fox precisely, its claws were like two sharp knives wearing white socks, protruding forward, hooking down, piercing deeply into the back of the fennec fox, and firmly controlling it.

Blood splatter in super clear close-up.

No matter how the prey screamed and struggled, this thunderous blow had declared the end of its life.

The power of eagle claws has been widely recognized by researchers. If they are grasped firmly, the attacked animals will not only be torn to pieces, but even tendons and bones will be broken.Adult goats, adult wolves, and adult leopards were all once dead under the claws of birds of prey.

This is true for beasts with thick fur, let alone human beings.

The audience all grinned, as if the slap was on their own backs, and they couldn't help but sweat coldly for the contestants.

The more you go to the place where animals are infested, the more predators will be. Although there are not large animals infested like the grasslands in the south, the danger is not less.Survivors have to find their place in the food chain. Some of them can stand at the top of the food chain, while others will become victims of nature.

Natural selection, the jungle of the jungle.

No one is immune.

The short barks and long wails of the fennec fox group spread far and wide in the wilderness. Today they lost a companion, but the remaining three foxes survived because they hunted for food.

Jennifer took all these pictures.

She felt a little excitement, it was a kind of luck to witness the survivors after the hunt, this kind of luck was like a shot in the arm, making her cells tired from the harsh environment active again.

Although the river course is dry, it does not mean that there is no groundwater here.Jennifer walked forward along the corner, squatting down and digging with her scabbard whenever she saw darker ground.

Usually, the wet soil layer can be seen after digging down more than ten centimeters, but I was unlucky, and the five or six holes in a row were filled with clay.The clay is soft when pinched in the palm, and they will absorb all the water. They can only be wrapped in a scarf and squeezed hard to get a little water to moisten the lips.

After venturing along the river for nearly [-] meters, at a corner of the river, green grass finally appeared.

Jennifer was overjoyed.

Dig down along the roots of the grass, and this time the soil in your hands is distinct.After digging about [-] centimeters, there was a faint tendency to turn into mud. After digging down for a few minutes, a small muddy puddle formed in the depression.

freshwater!

She quickly dipped the scarf into the puddle, seeing that the whole fabric was soaked by the cool groundwater, and she could squeeze out a steady stream of water droplets in her hand.

Any survival expert would advise against drinking desert water directly, but at this moment there are no containers for boiling water, nor containers for distillation, only three mineral water bottles.If directly heated, the bottle body will be deformed, the capacity will be greatly reduced, and the quantity of fresh water that can be carried will be lost in vain.

The bark pots of the past can't be made, and the nearby trees don't look like their bark is tough. Besides, the place where they take root is so barren, and if some bark is damaged, it may die completely.

These trees are not easy to grow in the desert, and Jennifer doesn't want to destroy them casually.

The task of this round is to take photos of animals, not to hurry, resources are more important than footsteps.

The third bottle of water was still there. After much deliberation, she decided to twist the water from the turban to the magic turban and then into the water bottle. A mineral water bottle was filled with water and placed on the ground to wait for precipitation, and then poured into the second bottle. Barely counted as multiple filters, better than nothing.

Fixed shelters and more containers are needed to start storing water.

First, for shelter, she must leave the river bed and find a cave or a large tree in the nearby high ground.

The low amount of precipitation in the Sahara Desert does not mean that there is no precipitation. The precipitation here is often heavy rain. There was a record of precipitation exceeding 40ml within a few hours.Survivors sat in the dry river, and had no idea whether there would be a flood upstream.

The second is the container. Without artificial containers, only natural containers can be chosen.

Jennifer wrung the scarf vigorously, and countless ideas flashed through her mind, but they were rejected one by one.Her eyes finally fell on the white animal skeletons that can be seen everywhere in the desert.

She has to hunt.

The alpenstock lacks two spears.
