"A bird's nest?...Can it turn into venom?"
Fu Changxiong knew that Ye Feng was knowledgeable and had a rather unconventional way of thinking, but he simply couldn't understand him...
How did this bird's nest get connected to Venom?
Ye Feng looked up at the sky as he explained:
"The nests of the Grey-billed Bird are not poisonous, but they like to build their nests in groups on the branches of a certain type of tree."
Because these trees have the fruits they like to eat.
And this tree... is the poison I'm looking for, the arrow poison tree...
Just like its name suggests, it is known as the most poisonous tree.
If even a single drop enters the wound, within a minute, the person's muscles will become paralyzed, the blood will clot, and they will lose the ability to move.
It will kill you completely in about 20 minutes; its toxicity is even more potent than that of the box tree and the poisonous guava.
Furthermore, its sap does not evaporate easily and takes effect very quickly, hence its other name... the "blood-sealing throat tree."
"Oh~"
Fu Changxiong nodded; he didn't know how poisonous this tree was.
However, along the way, Ye Feng overcame most of the crises he encountered by relying on the tools he had prepared in advance.
Therefore, having an extra trump card to save your life is always a good thing, as long as it can increase your chances of survival.
"So, are we... just going to keep following this bird?"
No sooner had these words been spoken than the two grey-jade birds flew away...
"Quickly. Keep up..."
Since the birds were flying in the opposite direction of this land, Ye Feng no longer needed to carefully explore the area.
He moved as fast as he could, following the trail and listening to the sounds, and kept up with them.
On rainy days, birds usually return to their nests to take shelter from the rain.
So just follow the right path...
Fortunately, it's still raining, and the birds are trying to prevent their feathers from getting wet and affecting their flight.
So they have to stop and clean their feathers after flying for a while.
This also provided Ye Feng and his companion with an opportunity to pursue them.
After following for about half an hour, the two arrived at a lush green area.
"Chirp chirp chirp..."
The chaotic calls of the grey jaybirds became more and more frequent, and judging from the direction of the sound, it came from the sky not far away.
Ye Feng knew he had definitely found the right place…
So the two quickened their pace, and after walking for another ten minutes or so, they finally saw the source of the sound…
At that moment, a towering tree, about 40 centimeters in diameter and 35 meters tall, stood straight before them.
The chaotic bird calls came from the top of the treetops.
Ye Feng took out his binoculars and looked up. Sure enough, there were many bird nests stuck together on the branches, resembling honeycomb.
And this big tree was exactly what he was looking for... the poison tree.
"Haha, great!"
Ye Feng grinned. Such a large poison tree must have plenty of sap.
"Da Xiong, quick, be careful! Don't let it touch your skin or get in your eyes, or you'll go blind."
"rest assured."
After saying that, the two of them took out two empty wooden jars and began to collect the materials.
With a gentle cut, the milky white sap began to drip down.
Judging from its flow rate, it is much faster than that of the Xianghezi tree.
"Hehe, Nobita, we're rich! So much tree sap, I reckon we'll fill two big jars."
Fu Changxiong asked:
"So, can this stuff be splashed on top of something?"
"able."
Ye Feng smiled and nodded.
"However, this stuff isn't as poisonous as the sap of the poisonous guava. It can only cause an allergic reaction on the skin for a limited time."
It mainly causes blisters and pain, and takes a long time to show results.
However, if it gets in your eyes, it will cause immediate blindness.
Moreover, I want more than just this tree sap.
"Hmm? What else?"
Ye Feng tapped the tree trunk with the back of his knife.
"The bark of this poison tree is also a good thing."
I saw in a survival guide that the bark can be peeled off to make clothes.
The local indigenous people often do this: first, soak the substance in water to dilute the toxins, then pound it into a soft state with a wooden stick. Finally, they dry it and sew it up.
I heard it's very cool to wear, and it can also protect against most poisonous insect bites, and even has some defensive properties.
"Is that so? Then let's make a lot more."
The two worked together, one collecting tree sap and the other peeling the bark.
An hour later, the two had a very fruitful harvest.
Just like Ye Feng estimated, they collected about 800 grams of tree sap in total.
The two small jars were almost half full, and the bark had been cut several times.
Afterwards, the two walked back, completely satisfied…
These things were a windfall, and coincidentally, the sap from the poisonous tree I collected last time was almost used up.
Ye Feng planned to use all these things on Horford and his gang.
His understanding of this game is...
If you can win, fight; if you can't, resort to underhanded tactics. In short, it doesn't matter whether the methods are honorable or not; just do whatever it takes to kill your opponent.
He wouldn't become arrogant and head-on with the enemy just because he had good weapons.
Such reckless behavior usually results in death for the perpetrators.
Therefore, almost every crisis the team experienced and every group of opponents they encountered was a result of his cunning and sabotage.
Around noon, the two finally found the right path and saw the mountain occupied by the mandrill horde.
Before they even entered the mountain, they smelled a foul, rotten stench.
The smell is like the smell of a dead cat or dog in the countryside when it's half-rotted.
Even the earthy smell of rain splashing up in the mountains and forests couldn't be masked.
Instead, the two blended together, creating a strange, foul odor that went straight to the throat.
Moreover, it was overwhelming, constantly assaulting their sense of smell.
"Ugh~"
Ye Feng couldn't hold it in any longer. Since the dried meat he ate that morning had already been digested, he could only vomit up vomit.
In this respect, Fu Changxiong's resistance is significantly stronger than Ye Feng's.
He simply covered his nose with his arm, his facial features contorted in disgust.
"Rewind quickly..."
Ye Feng vomited as he retreated, and only after he was dozens of meters away did he immediately take out a mask.
The two immediately tied the cloth to their faces, which made them feel a little better.
He had actually anticipated this situation, thinking he would only smell it after entering the mountains, but the smell far exceeded his expectations.
"Wow, Nobita, you didn't throw up?"
Fu Changxiong still frowned, his stomach churning.
“There used to be a pig farm in my hometown. That year, there was a swine fever outbreak, and more than 60 pigs died overnight.”
The next day it stank horribly, almost like this smell. Those mandrills weren't even as big as pigs, were they?
Why does it smell so bad?
Ye Feng let out a deep breath and wiped the drool from the corner of his mouth.
"Physiologically speaking, animals that are poisoned do not smell as bad as animals that die naturally."
But this is the Amazon, and after these mandrills die, they are injected with a large number of bacteria by various flies and mosquitoes.
The rate of decay is more than three times faster than normal, coupled with the hot and humid environment and the number of more than 100 mandrills.
I feel like even with masks, we'd still be throwing up the whole way.
