Those things with the female president in the primeval jungle

Chapter 10 The Smell of Carrion

Mountain springs, streams, and rivers are fine.

The running water has a low degree of pollution and is easy to drink.

I grabbed the stick and walked through the woods.

You can't find the water source if you turn around blindly. It is best to climb to the commanding heights, observe the surrounding terrain, and determine the location of the water source before moving forward, saving time and energy.

But there are baboons living around here, I can't climb trees in their territory, I will be attacked.

Baboons are not common in China. They are very similar to orangutans. They have a strong sense of territory and a fierce personality. They are very difficult to deal with.

Make them anxious and attack them in groups, even if you are a special soldier, you can't stand it.

As soon as the long-faced animals saw me stepping into the woodland, they howled and drove away, so scared that I turned my head and walked away.

The mouth was dry all the way, and it was hard to get out of the baboon's territory.

I looked left and right, and finally found a tree with no extra branches, high enough for climbing.

Most of the trees in the tropical rainforest are slender and tall, but not thick.

The water and heat in the forest are sufficient, and the conditions for plant growth are suitable. Everyone wants to compete for the sunlight above their heads, so they will not grow too thick, but they will definitely grow taller.

The magic of nature lies in this, natural selection.

The slender tree is easy to climb, but it is not easy to climb up.

I unraveled the shoelaces, then connected them together, and hung them on the tree.

Clamp the tree with the roots of the thighs, and climb up with hands and feet. Using the friction of the shoelaces can make climbing a little easier.

Don't underestimate this strength. In the jungle where food sources are unstable, saving a little energy means living a few more hours.

My ability to climb trees is not bad. I can climb up a tree more than ten meters high with just a few strokes.

The sun above my head hurt my eyes, and it took me a while to get used to it.

Raising his hand to cover the sun, he took a closer look at his surroundings.

Unfortunately, there are no obvious traces of running water.

If there is running water in the woods, there will be obvious breaks in the canopy and bushes, but there is no such sign in the surrounding green and continuous.

No water?That would be fatal!My heart sank to the bottom.

The mouth is sticky, the mouth is dry, and the heart is also dry.

In a daze, I saw a light green area about 300 meters to the southeast.

banana? !
This time I suddenly came to the spirit.

With banana trees, the source of water is guaranteed.

Banana tree sap is very watery and very thirst quenching.

I roughly estimated the distance. The banana forest and our camp are about one kilometer apart, which is a little far away.

But the area of ​​this forest is as big as two football fields, very vast!
Relying on these plantains and rainwater can basically solve the drinking water problem for the three of us.

Water problem, get it done!
I happily sprinted down from the tree, planning to explore the road first.

The road is not easy to walk, vines and bushes block the way, there are a lot of bugs, all kinds of crawling on the feet and body.

The shirt was worn by Lin Miaoer, and I could only wear a few palm leaves. I was bitten several times by unknown flying insects, and my hands and back were lumpy.

Small flying insects are not very toxic, a bite will not kill you, but itches.

But no matter how itchy it is, I dare not scratch it. If it breaks, it is easy to get infected, and if it gets infected, it will kill me.

Along the way, enduring itching and suffering, I finally arrived at the banana forest.

I suddenly smelled a rotten smell.

Originally, the smell in the rainforest is not good. Walking in it is like walking next to a rotten ditch, with a stench of retting.

But the smell in the plantain grove was even more disgusting. It was the stench of rotting meat.

The unusual stench alerted me immediately.

If there is carrion, it means that there is prey in this place that I can catch.

It would be great if we could solve the problem of food here as well!

However, this is a wild jungle, not a zoo.

The ecosphere has a complete food chain, where there are small prey, there are big hunters.

I scanned my surroundings vigilantly until there was no movement nearby, then followed the smell of carrion and walked over.

The carcass of a sheep appeared before my eyes.

Flies buzzed around on the skeleton and fur, the flesh had been eaten away, and the source of the stench was the rotting internal organs.

Judging by its horns, it should be a goat.

It stands to reason that it is impossible for goats to appear in the rainforest.

Mountains and grasslands are where they appear.

Or, is this goat a livestock raised by humans?

I was shocked.

There are likely to be human settlements near this rainforest!
