Meow Ba

Chapter 415 News from Swahili

"Meow~"

I slept so comfortably~
After a good night's sleep, when the sun rose from the east, Ron stretched his waist comfortably on the big tree.

Although wild and wild, in terms of climate, the Serengeti Prairie completely defeated most of the worlds of the Dragon Kingdom and the Bald Eagle Kingdom.

The land here is fertile, the climate is pleasant, and the products are rich. As long as you do a little work, whether it is gathering or hunting, you can fill your stomach. Even the coldest night is completely within the range that bare skin can handle.

And this has also created the laziness of black Africans, or not wanting to make progress.

This is also the disadvantage of most of the native races in tropical areas on Blue Star.

After all, in a place where you can fill your stomach just by moving your hands, and you won't catch a cold without wearing clothes all year round, no matter farming or storing food, it is thankless.

For Ron now, this climate is really a gift to him. He doesn't need to pay extra attention to keep warm. There are little mongoose sentinels when he sleeps. The only thing he needs to pay attention to is food.

However, just looking up, the food issue was settled.

Yesterday he was distracted and didn't pay attention. Ron, who woke up and began to think about food, looked up and found that the big tree he was living in was a baobab tree.

This is a large tree with a thick and spindle-shaped trunk, also known as bobabu tree, hozen wood or sour gourd tree. It is a large deciduous tree with a short trunk and many branches. It is widely distributed throughout Africa.

The trunk of the baobab tree is very thick, but the wood is very loose. It is strong on the outside and dry in the middle, hard on the outside and soft on the inside, and can store a lot of water.

During the rainy season, the baobab tree uses its thick body and soft wood to replace the root system, absorbing and storing a large amount of water like a porous sponge, and then grows leaves and large white flowers.

When the dry season comes, in order to reduce water evaporation, it will quickly take off all the leaves on its body and rely on the water stored in the trunk to survive the dry season.

A baobab tree is a water storage tower in the wilderness. The villages of primitive African tribes are either located by the river or near the baobab tree. You can imagine the importance of the baobab tree to African residents.

The origin of the name of the baobab tree is because of its fruit, which is as huge as a football, sweet and juicy, and is the favorite food of monkeys, orangutans, elephants and other animals.

Whenever the fruit of the baobab tree is ripe, the monkeys will come in groups and climb up the tree to pick the fruit and eat it.

Although it is the dry season, Ron is lucky. This baobab tree grows by the river, and its metabolism and growth cycle are much more active than those of the same kind growing on the dry grassland. There are even several ripe fruits.

"Meow~"

Carefully jumping onto the root-like branch at the top, Ron cut off the fruit pedicle connecting the trunk and the fruit with his claws, and immediately a huge football-like fruit fell from the sky and fell heavily on the ground, splashing a lot of dust.

Following the fruit, Ron also jumped down from the tree trunk, and briskly cut the somewhat tough skin of the baobab fruit with his paws - wild cats naturally wouldn't do this kind of thing, and their claws couldn't cut the baobab fruit either. epidermis.

Big cats like lions and leopards can do it, but they eat meat.

Oh, by the way, lions can't climb trees yet.

"Meow~"

The taste is okay~ let's eat together~
For mongooses, baobab fruit is an extremely rare food, which can only be eaten when the monkeys come to eat it, and the monkeys are tired of eating it, so they throw it away halfway.

It seems that Ron just picked it today, and they have never seen such a fresh fruit.

But this did not prevent them from enjoying the food. Ron used his paws to slice the baobab fruit into slices, and each mongoose got a slice.

"Meow~"

If only there was fire~
To be honest, baobab fruit is dry, not much water, rich in starch, with a sweet and sour taste, so it is not particularly suitable for eating raw.

But in such a place, what could Ron expect?

Holding the baobab in his arms, Ron squatted by the river, gnawing on the baobab while looking into the river.

Because of the dry season, the water in the river has dropped sharply, and the fish that used to have a wide range of activities can only be crowded in a trickle.

Ron only took a few glances, and saw many half-meter-long fish flicking their tails in the turbid water, and many small fish were slapped into the air by their tails, just in time to be picked up by flying birds.

"Squeak~"

For the mongoose herd, it was a big meal, so full that they could roll happily on the ground with their stomachs full - and then in this lazy scene, the chubby mongoose sentinel suddenly screamed screamed.

There are enemies!
rub!
There was a burst of dust under the baobab tree, and in a blink of an eye, the group of mongooses who were just lazily lying on the ground and rolling on the ground had already entered the hole, leaving only Ron holding a piece of dusty baobab fruit, staring dumbfounded. A warthog running from afar.

On the back of the warthog, there is also a strong mongoose.

"..."

Count the balls!Don't eat!

Throwing away the baobab fruit, Ron waited for the warthog carrying the mongoose—Dimon, who promised to ask a friend for help last night, went out early this morning, and now, the quadruped under Timon was obviously him Mouth friend, Pumbaa the warthog.

"throat!"

"Ding~Man~"

It's just that Ron is a bit self-indulgent.

There was already a smile on the corner of his mouth, his beard was shaking, and he wanted to say hello when the warthog ran up to him, but there was a rumbling, a tumbling hoof, and the body covered with thick black and long hair passed by Ron, bringing up smoke and dust Immediately enveloped Ron.

Out of the corner of his eye, Ron immediately saw Pumbaa the warthog and Timon the mongoose, stopping before Ron and the group of mongooses ate the remaining half of the baobab fruit, snorting and eating.

"..."

Turning around silently, shaking off the falling dust, Ron walked up to the two beasts, squatted down, and waited until the tail was stiff and almost burning with anger, the warthog with four tusks, Pumbaa, raised his head and held each other. Timon groaned in his stomach.

"Morning, Ron."

"This is my friend, Pumbaa Warthog."

"Peng Peng said, thank you very much for the baobab fruit you provided. He hasn't eaten this kind of delicacy for a long, long, long time."

"You're welcome, I can't finish eating anyway."

Although it was translated, Timon's words still made Ron's stiff tail soften, and his beard shook. Ron was sure that the mongoose and the pig were full, so he spoke.

"Ding Man, you should be full by now."

"Ask Pumbaa for me, does he know where Swahili is?"

Turning his head to translate Ron's meaning to Peng Peng, Ding Man turned his head quickly.

"Peng Peng said he knew..."
