Chapter 324 The symbiotic partner of the red bee-eater: the gray-necked bustard

Su Bai looked in the direction of Zhao Xinqing's finger.

It was a low green bush.

The bushes are dotted with vermilion fruits.

Su Bai's eyes also lit up and he said in surprise:

"Are there any more berries to eat?"

The longer Su Bai spent time with Zhao Xinqing, the more he could feel that the berries Zhao Xinqing found from time to time may seem inconspicuous, but they had a huge and silent significance for the two people's living conditions in the wilderness.

Especially when the two leave the camp and travel in the wilderness, the chance of discovering wild berries will be greatly increased.

This is a very important source of nutrition for them.

Zhao Xinqing nodded, moved closer to the bush, studied it carefully and said:

"This is a sorrel bush."

"Also known as Xinzizi, salty and sour fruit."

"It is a common berry in the wild."

"The nutritional content is very good, and it can also be used as medicine and has the effect of replenishing blood."

While talking, Zhao Xinqing picked a sour vine fruit, chewed it carefully in her mouth, and tasted the taste carefully, and then she was relieved to let Su Bai come and eat it too:

“There are actually many types of sour vine fruits.”

"Most of what can be seen in the wild in China is non-toxic, harmless and edible."

"But there are also a small number of subspecies of sour cane that may be slightly poisonous."

"So, you still have to be careful to identify it before eating it."

Su Bai simply took off the weight on the snack guy's back and let the snack guy take a rest before joining Zhao Xinqing to eat the sour vine fruits together.

The snack foodie was not interested in the sour vine fruit because the core was too big for the cow's mouth to chew, so he went to the side to eat grass.

The two of them ate sour vine fruits and took a rest. By the time a cluster of sour vine fruits was eaten, the energy they had spent on the previous journey had basically been restored.

They put the weight on the snack food again, and the two of them and one cow set out again.

"It's best to look for small animals on the road that are edible."

Su Bai said to Zhao Xinqing, who was still looking at the surrounding situation:

"We don't have water now, so we have no fish to eat."

"Traveling for a whole day will consume a lot of our energy."

"Need to replenish it through food."

"With the horns and strong bow, we can easily handle even larger prey."

"As for the dried fish you carry with you, try not to eat it if you have the choice."

Zhao Xinqing nodded and said thoughtfully:

"That makes sense."

"In a jungle like this, the easiest place to find prey is in the trees."

Zhao Xinqing began to think about dinner, so her search area was no longer limited to ground plants, but also began to search for traces of prey on the treetops.

After walking through the forest for another three hours, at around one o'clock in the afternoon, Zhao Xinqing's eyes suddenly lit up, she pointed at a big tree in the distance and said in a low voice:

"Look, what is that..."

Barrage:

【……】

[I have memorized Dr. Zhao’s starting moves...]

[Every time she says "Look, what is that", something must be going to happen...]

[Let me come to Kangkang, who is today’s victim? 】

Su Bai and Danmu looked in the direction of Zhao Xinqing's finger and saw a little bird standing on the treetop.

This bird's upper body is emerald green, its chest and abdomen are red, its head and eyes have black feathers, and its beak is pointed and long. The overall look is very agile.

On the back of the basket, the cat opened its eyes and looked at the little bird, then closed its eyes and fell asleep again, without any thoughts about such a little bird.

It is too small, and an owl that is not hungry will not choose to prey on such a small thing.

"Eat this thing?" Su Bai said in astonishment: "It's not as big as a quail..."

"It's not even worth consuming the durability of the arrow to shoot it..."

Zhao Xinqing smiled and explained:

"This bird is called the red bee-eater."

"Famous for eating bees."

Barrage:

【oh?】

[I know! Dr. Zhao must want to follow the red bee-eater to find honey!]

[Honey is so rich in nutrients, enough to replenish the physical energy consumption of two people during a day's journey! 】

【Wonderful! So wonderful!】

Zhao Xinqing looked at the barrage and shook her head:

"No, the red bee-eater preys on lone bees and will never go to the hive to forage."

"Also, not all bees make honey."

"Getting close to the nests of some dangerous bees may even be more dangerous for the two of us than encountering bears and tigers."

"After all, we can use bows and arrows to deal with ferocious beasts, but we are helpless against poisonous bees."

Zhao Xinqing was confused by the barrage and asked:

【That……】

[How does Dr. Zhao plan to use this red bee-eater?]

[It’s not worth eating, and honey can’t be found. Apart from being pretty, does this bird have any use?]

Zhao Xinqing chuckled and said:

"In the wild, some red bee-eaters will form a magical symbiotic relationship with the gray-necked bustard."

"The Gray-necked Bustard will provide a lot of food for the Red Bee-eater, and the Red Bee-eater will help solve a lot of headaches for the Gray-necked Bustard."

"The red bee-eater in front of me is large in size, has shiny feathers, and has a high body fat percentage. It looks like it eats well on weekdays."

"This red bee-eater is probably hugging the thigh of the gray-necked bustard, otherwise it would be difficult to get such sufficient food."

"Unlike petite birds like the red bee-eater, the gray-necked bustard is the largest flying bird in the world."

"However, unless faced with irresistible danger, the overweight Gray-necked Bustard generally does not fly and usually lives on the ground."

"We have bows and arrows in hand, it will be easy to hunt them down."

"so……"

Zhao Xinqing smiled beautifully, her beautiful eyes rolled, and said:

"Our goal is to secretly follow this red bee-eater and find its proud thigh - the gray-necked bustard."

“If all goes well, dinner should be barbecued Gray-necked Bustard!”

The barrage was all shocked:

【???】

【I am stupid...】

[What kind of incredible ability is there to know the subtleties and follow the clues...]

[The Grey-necked Bustard never expected that the cause of his death would be so outrageous...]

Su Bai was also a little confused after hearing this. It took him a while to catch up with Dr. Zhao's peak brain circuit, and nodded:

"Good...good plan!"

"That makes sense!"

"That's it."

Barrage:

[Okay, Su Bai, stop pretending! 】

[If you don’t understand, you don’t understand! Isn’t it embarrassing to admit that you don’t understand? 】

[I can’t even recognize the word “Grey-necked Bustard”, let alone know what it is!]

[Dr. Zhao is like a fish in water in this wilderness... so strong...]

The two stopped and kept observing the movements of the red bee-eater from a distance.

According to Zhao Xinqing, after the red bee-eater and the gray-necked bustard form a symbiotic relationship, they will basically not leave the gray-necked bustard for too long.

Therefore, as long as this red bee-eater really has a symbiotic partner, the two of them will not need to wait too long!

Sure enough, under the gaze of countless people behind the two people and the two live broadcast cameras.
