I am the king of the wild live

Chapter 923 Desert Gourd
Chapter 923 Desert Gourd
As he said that, Wang Yu pulled out the scimitar and dagger from his waist, lightly cut everything, and the desert gourd was split into two halves, revealing the white flesh, which looked like the cut of an immature guava look.

"The Sahara Desert is probably the most difficult place to find food in the world. Sometimes you will encounter some strange plants in the desert, such as the desert gourd in my hand. People who don't know often mistake them for a kind of watermelon. quality, but in fact, it is not watermelon, let alone edible!"

Wang Yu picked up the white flesh with the sharp edge of a dagger and said to the camera: "If you think it is edible and try to eat it, you will find that it tastes very bitter.

Even if you endure the bitterness and eat it, there is no way to replenish water. On the contrary, it will make you sick, have diarrhea, make your dehydration symptoms worse, and indirectly accelerate your death process!"

As he spoke, Wang Yu threw the two petals of the fruit aside, looked for desert gourds on weeds and gourd vines, picked a few in a row, and prepared to put them in his bag.

"Although they are inedible, they have certain medicinal value and have great antibacterial and anti-inflammatory effects. When encountering scorpion stings, poisonous snake bites, or skin trauma, use them to disinfect and sterilize wounds , is a very good choice!"

Speaking of this, the corners of Wang Yu's mouth suddenly curved, showing a playful smile, and continued:
"The desert gourd has another use. This is what I heard from the local population. The local nomadic Berbers usually use it to wipe their buttocks, not to clean the dirt, but to treat them. Hemorrhoids, it sounds miraculous, I don’t know if it’s true, anyway, I also have this thing.”

Wang Yu shrugged his shoulders and put two medicinal desert gourds into his bag. Naturally, he would not let go of such a rare natural anti-inflammatory and bactericidal drug. After packing them, he put on his backpack and continued on his way.

After walking forward for about half an hour, Wang Yu was standing alone in a vast and boundless wasteland, and a foothill that could not be bypassed appeared in front of him.

It runs north-south and traverses about a few kilometers away. The foothills are about a thousand meters high. The bare brown rocks are like a natural city wall in the desert, blocking the direction Wang Yu wants to move forward.

Looking into the distance, Wang Yu said with a complicated expression: "If you are in the desert, you don't know where to go or where to get food and water. When you encounter such a foothill, don't miss it.

However, for me now, this is not good news, I want to advance towards the southwest, as close as possible to the west coast, but right now this continuous foothills block my way!"

Fortunately, today's cloud cover is very thick, and the strong sunlight is weakened by the thick cloud cover. Wang Yu didn't take a lunch break, but hoped to be able to resist the foothills before it got dark. After spending the night on the top, he was thinking about going down the mountain.

There are often water sources and food in such tall and continuous mountain foothills. Thinking of this, Wang Yu quickened his pace a lot. In addition, the ground is solid land, which makes walking a lot easier, and he trots from time to time. a few paragraphs.

The air was quite stuffy, and there was no wind, but it was much better than being in the strong sunlight. It seemed that the distance was not far. Wang Yu walked for about an hour before arriving at the foot of the mountain.

Before arriving at the foot of the mountain, Wang Yu observed it from a distance and found a more suitable climbing route. It was a gap at the foot of the mountain, which ran through most of the foothill, which could reduce climbing rocks and lead to the top of the mountain.

Standing at the foot of the mountain, Wang Yu pointed to the gap and said, "Next, I will go down this mountain road and try my best to reach the top of the mountain, where I may be able to find water and the food I want. Advantage, I can see far away."

With that said, Wang Yu set foot on the mountain road. The road was covered with random rocks of different sizes, making it a bit difficult to walk. Fortunately, the slope of the mountain road was not very high, so it just took some time.

"These rocks rolled down from the mountain have existed for thousands of years. They are gradually weathered and look solid, but they are very loose. If you are not careful, you may sprain your ankle or even break your bone!"

Wang Yu said lightly, but he didn't feel any slack in his heart. Minor ailments like a sprained ankle are usually nothing, but in this kind of place it is very likely to kill you.

After walking for a certain distance, the slope became smaller and smaller, and a khaki-colored ravine about ten meters wide appeared in front of me. It was bare and there was almost no vegetation at all, surrounded by large and small rocks, and steep cliffs on both sides.

Wang Yu's eyes lit up, and he said excitedly: "I didn't expect that there is a ravine here! Let's continue walking, and it is very likely that we will be able to find a sufficient source of water in it!"

As he spoke, Wang Yu stepped up his pace, climbed over the chaotic rocks, walked into the ravine, and when he reached the entrance, a refreshing mountain breeze blew away the boredom in his body. Feeling refreshed a lot, with the excitement of being able to get the water source, I strode into the ravine.

The ravine is sometimes wide and sometimes narrow. When it is the widest, it is about 20 meters wide. When it is the narrowest, it can only accommodate one person to pass sideways, and you must hold a backpack in your hand to pass.

Not only that, but what was even more frustrating was that the roads inside were complicated and very confusing. Wang Yu looked a little ugly until he came to a "dead end", surrounded by mountains on three sides, with cliffs and no signs of water sources. .

There were only two or three trees growing in the cracks nearby. The leaves were bare and looked dead. Wang Yu sighed and said, "Oops, I got lost in the foothills!"

Trapped in the foothills for half an hour, Wang Yu tried to return the same way, but because there were no signs along the way, he could not find the correct way out. A few minutes later, Wang Yu returned to this "dead end" again. With a bitter smile:
"Right now, the only way out is to climb out from here!"

Everyone saw that there were cliffs on all sides, about ten meters long, and the slope was almost ninety degrees. Wang Yu tried to walk forward and broke the protruding rock with his hands. With a little force, the rock fell off.

"This kind of sandstone is very difficult to climb. After years of weathering, the lithology is as loose as a birthday cake, and it may break with a little force!"

Wang Yu looked up and observed. It is very unlikely that he will return the same way. Wang Yu must leave here before dark, so that he will have time to find water, food, and a place to stay tonight, so he doesn't have much time to waste.
