During the epidemic, they were locked in their homes for several months. The children were a little stuffy, so they had to expand their imagination and go on an adventure in the Amazon rainforest.
Introduction: Entomologist Mr. Zhang Zihao was invited to participate in the "Sulfuric Acid Expedition" to continue to go deep into the Amazon rainforest, this time they encountered a giant otter known as the "flat-headed brother in the water".
Chapter 3: Giant Otter Swarms
We know that the deeper we go into the jungle, the more dangerous it becomes, so everyone is always very vigilant, and the relaxed look when they first enter the rainforest has long been swept away. When we walked to a small river, one of the beams emitted by our headlamps suddenly flashed and disappeared suddenly.
"Damn!" Jonathan roared, "My headlamp is out of power!" ”
"They all tell you to get your things ready and charge the headlamps!" Phoenix whispered, "I'll go get a torch for you." ”
The captain stopped Phoenix: "You take my headlamp." ”
"No, we'll take care of our own business," Phoenix said.
"Family affairs... Are you family? I asked doubtfully.
Phoenix shrugged and said a little helplessly, "I'm his sister." He insisted on participating in this event, and I was not at ease, so I had to follow. ”
Johnny and Sino asked in unison, "Is he your brother?" They had a look of disbelief on their faces, "You two's personalities are also too far apart, aren't they?" ”
I couldn't help but ask a lot of questions, and finally figured out the career history of the sisters and brothers: Phoenix was lively and active, curious, and adventurous since childhood; Jonathan concentrates on doing things and studies well. On a solo expedition to the rainforest, Phoenix practiced many survival skills, but was also infected with fungi. In a hurry, Jonathan changed the direction of his research, studied mycology in depth, and finally cured his sister, but since then he has also been fascinated by mycology and eventually became a mycologist. This time, the younger brother insisted on participating, and the sister was well aware of the dangers of the rainforest, so she had to follow along.
With that said, Phoenix went looking for branches to make torches, and Smith motioned for me to follow Phoenix, as they agreed that my steel forks were the most defensive. After walking for a while, Phoenix happily stopped me: "Look, this stick is very suitable for making torches!" This gray-black, hairy wood is a good fuel! She stepped forward and slammed the stick.
"Whoops...!" A strange roar sounded, and a large group of gray-furned and sharp-toothed dog-like animals gathered in front of us in an instant, only to see that some of them were more than 1.5 meters long, and they all stared at us with fierce eyes. My face turned pale, "This is a giant otter!" They can kill crocodiles in less than 5 minutes! Phoenix asked me in a trembling voice, "What then?" "What else can I do?" I looked at the approaching swarm of giant otters and shouted, "Run! ”
Phoenix and I turned around and ran, and I kept looking back, quickly recalling information about this ferocious animal in my mind: "Giant otter, scientific name South American otter, carnivorous, up to 180 cm long, social animals, like to bark non-stop, usually mild personality, but extremely vengeful... Oh, my God! A giant otter rushed over, interrupting my train of thought, and I hurried to drive it away with a steel fork. Suddenly, I had a flash of inspiration in my head and hurriedly shouted at Phoenix, "Anesthesia bomb, Sino has anesthesia bomb, run to his side!" ”
We rushed to Sino and briefly described the situation. Sino took out his slingshot and aimed it at the giant otter, but it was not a false shot. Soon, there were already seven or eight giant otters lying on the ground, and the last of the standing giant otters was left. The giant otter seemed to have a spiritual nature, and when it saw Sino aiming at itself, it suddenly changed direction and pounced on me. In the instant that I was stunned, it had rushed in front of me. I hurriedly punched it in the head, and it slammed into the grass, turned violently, screamed, and prepared to pounce again. I was a little stunned and could only raise a steel fork in front of me. Suddenly, the giant otter's attack stopped abruptly, and without a word, it fell to the ground.
Only then did I notice that a small spider had slowly walked down from its body. I netted it with a net and looked at it carefully with a magnifying glass. I saw that it was all brown with yellowish vertical lines. Its poisonous fangs were bright red, and it lifted its foreground toward me, clenching its teeth and raising two pairs of front legs high in an attempt to scare me away.
I looked at it and was happy: "This is the Brazilian wandering spider, the most poisonous spider in existence, it can poison an adult in one bite, and it can also cause skin ulceration and hard ulcers." As for the results of hard ulcers, go ask Johnny if you want to know. Anyway it was my goal! Johnny added: "Hard ulcers can form skin shedding, causing wounds, which is a difficult disease to treat, and many patients die from wound infections – after all, large wounds with a diameter of 2 centimeters are very susceptible to infection for people in places such as Brazil and South America, where the main trauma is." "It seems that when the giant otter crashed into the grass, it angered the westbound spider and gave the giant otter a bite, but I didn't expect to help me a lot."
Phoenix saw that I had found the target and said a little unconvincedly: "Don't be so proud, the next person to catch the target must be me!" ”
Smith couldn't help but laugh out loud: "Don't argue, haven't you been scared enough?" Let's go! ”
Phoenix snorted, turned his head and left, and we followed close behind, continuing deep into the rainforest.
"To be continued"
