Big Islander 2

Chapter 423 Rainforest King

The work of picking Guanana fruits went smoothly, because Tang Jide was there, and he didn't even have to climb the tree at all. He only needed to reach out and hold the plants, and the ripe fruits on them would rustle down.

But doing so was very fruitless, so Brother Big Tou followed suit up and down, and finally even Banban and Thumb all joined the battle.With a wave of the Banban’s big Bantooth, bunches of fruits fell to the ground; the thumb failed, and no matter how hard it tried to hold a fruit, it couldn’t get it off—to be honest, it was better than a guarana. Not much more.

Amidst the laughter, the baskets brought were full of heavy harvests.Only then did everyone realize that there were a lot of fruit peels on the ground, which turned out to be the pheasant, a guy who got something for nothing, having a good time with Ah Zi.

Tang Jide also collected some Guanana seeds in the pitcher, planning to go back and try planting them.However, Chief Wawa is more worried because he knows that the authorities have very strict control over the seeds and plants of Guanana, and they are absolutely not allowed to leave the country.

"It's okay, if the government doesn't let us take this, we'll take all those Spix parrots back." The big head brother is not too worried, even if it is an exchange of benefits, the Brazilian government probably has to give it face.

If you want to take it, you must give it first. Although Taohua Island has a lot of things, it is definitely not a white wolf with empty hands, and it has never taken advantage of it for nothing.

After a brief bite of lunch, Chief Wawa hurried back, but Tang Jide parted ways with them for the time being, and he and his partners continued to explore deep into the Amazon rainforest.

If it were someone else, Chief Wawa would definitely ask his tribe to tie them back, because for ordinary people, the primitive rainforest is equivalent to a grave.However, he had also seen some of Tang Jide and Xiao Xiami's abilities, so he didn't stop them.Even so, I still talked about it for a long time, telling them some precautions in the rainforest, and everyone benefited a lot.

So only Tang Jide and the others were left, and they continued to move forward.In the evening, dinner is prepared by a river.According to Mr. Bei, the riverside is not suitable for camping, because the riverside is also a place for wild animals to drink water, which is usually more dangerous.But Tang Jide didn't care. Most of the beasts wouldn't attack them with Xiao Xiami here.Besides, there are many thick aquatic trees by the river, with a height of 50 meters, whose trunks cannot be hugged by ten or eight people. If you build a tree house on the trees, it should be very safe.

"What kind of tree is this? It's really tall?" Brother Datou knocked on the plank-shaped roots, and there was a huge empty sound, which made his ears buzz.

Xiao Xiami replied with a smile: "Uncle Datou, this is Sama Wuma. When it is tapped, it can make a huge sound. It is said that it can be heard for twenty or thirty miles. Indian indigenous tribes use this kind of sound through tapping." trees to pass information to each other."

Tang Jide scratched his ears: "Then it's best to plug your ears before hitting, or you will be deafened."

Everyone laughed and started preparing dinner together.To say that the fish resources in the Amazon River are indeed rich enough, although Tang Jide did not go into the water, he stretched the cane whip into the river, and soon fished out a big bearded fish, which weighed thirty to forty catties, which was better than a fishing net Make.

After washing and peeling, stew a few catties of tender meat, and save the rest to eat slowly. Anyway, this jungle adventure is not a day or two.

There are indeed many beasts haunting the river, not to mention the crocodiles in the river. On land, Tang Jide also saw a big cat with tiger-like patterns on its body.At first he thought it was a tiger cub, but after hearing what Xiao Xiami said, he realized that it was a "tiger cat", a medium-sized beast in the jungle.

After the smell of fish came out of the pot, Tang Jide found that there were a few more thieves by the river, about the size of a half-sized dog, covered with gray fur, with a funny face, and circles around the eyes Black hair, the rest is white hair, black and white are distinct, just like being punched hard twice in the eyes, forming panda eyes.In addition, the tail is also more characteristic, relatively thick, and there are circles of circular patterns on it.Tang Jide had seen this thing in an album before. Isn't this the famous raccoon?

It is said that when the raccoon eats, it likes to rinse the food in the water repeatedly for a long time, so it got the name raccoon.However, their reputation is not very good, because they usually come out to look for food at night, so they have the nickname of the mysterious thief in the animal kingdom.

The raccoons probably also smelled the scent, and wandered around refusing to leave.Little Xiami wanted to share some fish with them, but was stopped by Uncle Datou, who said he wanted to see how the raccoons hunted and washed things in the water.

When Tang Jide and the others started to eat, the raccoons probably knew they were out of reach, so they worked on their own and started catching fish by and in the water.Although the raccoon is chubby and clumsy, it is very flexible in the water, and its swimming ability is not bad at all. Otherwise, it would be impossible to catch fish.

Tang Jide watched carefully, not to mention, when the raccoons ate fish, they would rinse them in the water from time to time, which was very interesting to watch.Although the raccoons also ate it, they still raised their front paws from time to time, looking over here, eating what was in their hands and looking at what was in the pot, probably because they were lured by the smell.

Anyway, the stewed fish was a bit too much for several people to eat, so Xiao Xiami took the remaining half pot of fish to the raccoon and dumped it on the grass.These raccoons immediately came up to fight, and threatened each other with grinning teeth, a little defensive.

"Wash it, why don't you rinse it? Aren't you called raccoon?" The pheasant was bored by the side, wanting to see a joke, and hoped that the raccoon would rinse the stewed fish in the water for a while, it would be boring. The pheasant is just making fun of the raccoon.

But it was probably the first time I tasted this kind of delicacy with added salt and various seasonings, so the raccoons didn't bother to wash the food, gobbled it up one by one, and snatched all the fish in the blink of an eye, even the soup sticking to the grass Also licked clean.

Mr. Pheasant was a little disappointed that these raccoons were not cooked, and muttered that these raccoons had a false name and so on.But when everyone was clearing away the tableware, there was a few snapping sounds suddenly. Looking back, I saw several fish on the grass behind me, some of them were not dead yet, struggling with their tails.

Tang Jide couldn't help being overjoyed: "These raccoons still have a conscience, and they know how to repay us after eating ours."

"Let me tell you, I probably want you to cook another pot of fish soup for them." It seems that the pheasants are more familiar with the nature of animals, and they can analyze them well.Looking at those raccoons again, they did not leave, they squatted there, apparently waiting for food.

"You can't be greedy even if you're a raccoon, okay—" Tang Jide couldn't laugh or cry. Although he was a chef with a false certificate, he was tired after walking for a day, and he didn't have time to serve these raccoons.

The pheasant threw back the fish one by one on the ground: "You guys should cook and eat by yourself, it's best if you get a hot pot, and you can cook it every day if you like."

After a flick, two fish were thrown into the river, floating on the surface of the water, drifting with the waves.But before the raccoon went to catch the fish, there was a loud crash, and a huge head popped out of the water, opened its mouth wide, and swallowed the dead fish into its mouth.A big fish weighing more than two catties is like a small loach in its big mouth.

"What a big crocodile!" Tang Jide also exclaimed. He had seen some crocodiles before, but they were not so huge.This crocodile was nearly ten meters long and must have weighed more than a ton. Its dark and rough skin made it look even more ferocious.Floating on the water, it is like a floating island.

Seeing this big crocodile, the raccoons also ran away in a panic, because they knew that if this big guy swallowed them into their mouths, they would eat them without rinsing!

"This is a black caiman, the largest crocodile in the Amazon rainforest." Although it was the first time for Xiao Xiami to see this kind of black caiman, he already had information about them in his brain.

"Such a behemoth can definitely dominate in the rainforest. It is basically invincible!" Tang Jide also smacked his lips. It seems that the riverside is really not a good camping place. It is safer for us to build a nest in a tree at night.Such a vicious big guy, it is estimated that Xiao Xiami will have to spend a lot of energy to get it done, and they may have already entered the big belly of the crocodile by then.

Just as he was talking, he saw the surface of the water stirring up again. The long tail of the black caiman slapped the surface of the water vigorously. The waves splashed and the waves were choppy. The river seemed to be boiling.

what's going on?Brother Big Tou looked into the water, but the water was turbulent, and he couldn't see it clearly at all. He just vaguely saw the black caiman rolling continuously in the water, and there seemed to be a thick and slender crocodile wrapped around its body. Body.

It seems that this posture is a fight, but whoever dares to attack the black caiman is so sacred—Big Brother just thought that the black caiman was the overlord of the river, but he was challenged in a blink of an eye. The magical rainforest is really amazing!
"It must be the green anaconda!" Although Xiao Xiami couldn't really see the situation in the water, in the Amazon rainforest, only the green anaconda dared to attack the black caiman.

Seeing that the commotion in the water was so intense, even the pheasant, who always liked to watch the excitement, muttered: "It's better to stay away. These two big guys are fighting, so let's not suffer."

This is true, the formation in the water is really like a sea of ​​​​turbulent rivers, as if thousands of monsters are fighting underwater, the momentum is extremely frightening.Even the howler monkeys on the big trees by the river fell silent in fright.

This battle was fought in the dark, until it was almost dark, and the water surface gradually calmed down. I saw that the black caiman was already floating motionless on the water surface, with its belly up, obviously strangled by the giant python. next to the crocodile, there is a dark green anaconda more than 30 meters long.At this moment, the anaconda is struggling to grow its mouth to devour the crocodile.The huge head of the black caiman has been submerged into the huge mouth of the anaconda.This scene is really a bit of a snake swallowing posture.

The two fierce beasts fought desperately, and even the little shrimp couldn't get close, so she couldn't stop this competition of the weak and the strong, and could only sigh: "No wonder the first colonists who came to the Amazon rainforest called the green anaconda the bull terminator." , They can really swallow a cow!"
