Chapter 17

When Zhang Heng woke up, he saw that bell was really baking the python that almost swallowed him last night.

“…………”

"Zhang, you wake up just in time for breakfast." The Explorer used the twig in his hand to stir the campfire and adjust the flame. Then he pointed to the bloody thing beside him, "snake skin, I just peeled it off. After cleaning, I can use it to make a water bag or something, which is much better than the sealing of the barrel. Or it can be used to make a garment, which has the effect of cooling down. It's still very useful in hot weather."

"Thank you for last night." Zhang Heng sits up from the ground and thanks bell first. He can see the red mark on his arm.

"Hey, you're welcome. You saved me at sea. If you want to survive in the wilderness, you have to help each other, don't you?" Bell handed Zhang Heng a piece of baked snake chops with wooden branches.

The latter originally wanted to refuse, but then he thought that this might be the only time in his life that he would eat a python without having to go to jail, so he took it.

I took a curious bite and found that it tasted good. The fishy smell was not strong. It was a bit like chicken, but it was stronger than chicken.

Think of last night is this thing almost to his own life, Zhang Heng decisively decided to come two more.

…………

After breakfast, they set out again.

Bell continued to play the role of a qualified guide, while using a knife in front of the road, while explaining to Zhang Heng the various creatures he encountered along the way.

"The boa constrictor we met last night is not the only hunter in this forest, because boa constrictors usually choose to swallow their prey from the head when they eat. Their eyesight is poor, and sometimes their stomachs are burst by too much prey. However, the digestion ability of snakes is very strong, often even meat and bone We've digested them together, and some of the animal skeletons we met before are relatively intact. It's not like they died in their hands. "

Zhang Heng silently wrote down these cold knowledge, many things usually seem useless, but it is uncertain when they will come into use.

For example, ED and shorts didn't teach him how to use seawater to make salt, but he used a small video he saw on a bullet screen website to get relatively pure edible salt by heating crystallization and repeated filtration, which made the food delicious.

When he was in primary school, Zhang Heng went to Xishuangbanna with his grandfather. The forest park there left a deep impression on him.

But after all, it's artificially developed. Considering the safety, only a small part of it is open to tourists. It's the first time that Zhang Heng has seen such an absolutely natural tropical rain forest, and according to bell, the biological community here is very rich. This is also an eye opener for Zhang Heng.

For example, he once saw a small frog with translucent abdominal skin on the roadside. Its body length is only 1-2 cm, and its heart, liver and digestive tract can be clearly seen from below. It's amazing.

"Glass frogs generally live in tropical rain forests in central and South America. There are 134 known species of glass frogs in the world, 60 of which are on the verge of extinction." As he spoke, the Explorer carefully put the little thing back on the leaf.

"And this one?" Zhang Heng pointed to a raised part like a tumor on a banyan tree, on which new branches grew.

"Oh, antler fern, an epiphytic plant of the family antler fern, is tender green when it is newly born and turns light brown when it is mature. They are usually epiphytic on the trunks or branches of other trees, which is quite common in tropical rainforests."

In addition, Zhang Heng also saw the cat and monkey, but this thing is neither a cat nor a monkey. It has wings like a bat, which wrap its neck, limbs and tail up. After unfolding, it can glide in the air, and it looks very playful. Kipling bashira jumping spider, the only vegetarian spider in the world, feeds on leaf buds. This name is really obnoxious Zhang Heng confirmed with bell three times, but he still couldn't believe it. The bird of paradise, also known as the bird of paradise, calls like a gunshot. When he first heard it, Zhang Heng was startled, but it looks very beautiful, especially its tail feathers, and its color gradients

Bell can't help but sigh, "this place is a paradise for living things. It's the first time I've seen so many tropical animals and plants in different regions gather together. It's incredible. If biologists know, they will love this land."

At this time, Zhang Heng's foot seems to have stepped on something. He bent down and picked up a tooth of an unknown animal, with a round hole at the bottom.

"It's like it's hand-made. Naturally formed holes are not so regular." Bell took the tooth, looked at it carefully, and said, "I know that some aborigines will use the teeth of their prey to make ornaments around their necks, so as to show off their strength. The more powerful the prey is, the more powerful they can prove their strength. In this way, it is easier for them to choose their favorite partner. I have a friend, in order to marry the most beautiful woman in their tribe I went to the grassland to hunt lions, but I didn't come back. "

“…………”There's a reason why there are few foreigners. Zhang Heng doesn't comment on the wisdom of this behavior. In contrast, he is more concerned about another question, "so is there any aboriginal life on this island? It can't be cannibals

Bell shook his head. "It's not possible. The area of the island itself can't be large. You said that you have lived on it for more than a year. If there are other people on the island, it's unreasonable that you haven't met yet And it looks a little old. "

"So there used to be aborigines here?" Zhang Heng was also surprised out of a cold sweat, if those natives are still alive, maybe the first day on the island he and ED were caught by each other to make soup.

"Well, go down and see."

Bell is also interested. He is an explorer himself. This lost civilization has an indescribable attraction for him. He even forgets that he is looking for a way to leave the island and return to the civilized world. They continue to move towards the center of the island.

Up to now, they have walked half the way, and with the deepening, more and more traces of human survival have been found.

Bell looked at the rotten huts and the stone tools full of green pagodas. He was sure that an aboriginal tribe had lived here in the distant past.

What happened to them? Why have they all disappeared today? The explorers became more and more curious.
