The scientific name of the baobab tree is Bobabu tree. It has a very peculiar shape. Its round trunk is like a bucket, its crown is huge, its branches are all kinds of strange, and its overall shape is like a carrot stuck upside down on the ground.

It can grow very large, with a diameter of more than 12 meters, and it requires more than 40 people to hold hands to circle it.

However, most baobab trees are not tall, only about 10 meters.

It is full of treasures. It can be said that if everyone in Africa had a 10-meter-high baobab tree, at least half of the problem of eating would be solved.

The diameter of the baobab tree in front of me is not that exaggerated, but when it comes to the root, it is very majestic, blocking the front like a stone wall painted with white gray.

But at this time, the audience was more curious about the bread-flavored fruit in Bifang's mouth.

【Does it really taste like bread?】

[Nature is really full of wonders, there are trees like this]

[Short and fat, I feel so cute]

[This bird is also very smart. The tree trunk is so thick that the snake can’t climb up it, making it invincible!]

Snakes can be said to be the natural enemies of most birds except birds of prey, and they especially love to eat eggs.

There are very few trees on the grassland, measuring tens of meters across. There is only one tree, the baobab, whose thick trunk snakes cannot wrap around and climb up. There are no other trees nearby, and it is impossible to move from the nearby branches.

It has to be said that it is indeed a good place to build a nest. No wonder a huge nest can be accumulated.

"I don't know if it tastes like bread or not. You won't know if it's true or false until you taste it."

Bi Fang smiled and shook his head.

To survive in the wilderness, one method can solve all problems.

Solving problems relies on methods and skills, rather than finding the exact same set of questions, which will make it impossible to pass until you die.

Bi Fang knew a lot about various plants, including countless treasures, but that was all knowledge, not practical experience.

We already know what many plants are like, what they look like, what they do, what they smell like, but in fact they may have never seen them. This is the case with baobab trees. They just know that they smell like bread, but this is just what knowledge tells them.

Now there is an excellent practical opportunity right in front of you.

Baobab trees bloom and bear fruit in October.

It's October now.

In addition to a huge bird's nest on the short branches, there are many dark blue fruits hanging on the big tree, which are huge in size.

It's a good time again.

"You are lucky to encounter a baobab tree on the grassland. Many people have never seen it in their lives, let alone taste its fruit."

Just as he said, Bi Fang took off the rope from his waist, tied a fist-sized stone to the end, and tried to throw it onto the branch of the tree.

The baobab tree is still too big and the tree body is smooth. It is not practical to climb up. You can only rely on ropes or ladders.

Fortunately, although the tree is thick, it is not very tall. The whole tree looks like a big-bellied beer barrel.

From a distance, the tree does not seem to grow on the ground, but is inserted into a pot-bellied vase, which is why it is also called the "bottle tree".

After several attempts, Bi Fang successfully threw the stone and hit a branch.

The ropes were hung down and twisted together. Bi Fang grabbed them in his hands and climbed straight up the tree trunk.

Harley below saw this and sat down, yawned, and looked around boredly, keeping a little vigilance.

Surviving in the wilderness for so many days also made Harley realize that there are many dangers on the grassland, and there are also days when there is not enough to eat, and life is far less comfortable than before.

Grasping the hemp rope in his hand, Bi Fang came to the treetop little by little.

Facing the sudden visit of the "giant", all the weaver birds in the nest became restless and flew out from all the exits. One after another, black shadows quickly flashed in front of their eyes.

There were so many birds that Jerry on his shoulder was so frightened that he immediately got into his arms without even daring to show his head.

Bi Fang's quick eyesight and quick hands actually caught one of them in front of everyone and stuffed it into his pocket.

"There are a lot of weaver birds. We can also see if there are any eggs. It would also be good to make soup at night."

[Damn it, catching a bird with your bare hands is so awesome]

[What the hell, all I saw were afterimages. Can you capture this? 】

[The dragnet is powerful, right (dog head)]

[I report that Fang Shen is practicing martial arts!]

Even though Bi Fang has done amazing things many times, a lot of people are still shocked every time he does it.

Weaver birds are social animals, which is relatively rare among birds.

The nest they built was like a group apartment. Unfortunately, the apartment had fewer exits and more birds, so it was impossible to fly them all out at once. Bi Fang grabbed one and stuffed it into his pocket, and continued to guard the entrance of the hole.

As the barrage said, if a snake really crawled in, it would really be like entering the big cafeteria, where you can eat all you can for free.

Dynamic vision and nerve reflexes, if you catch these birds coming out of the hole with divine help, it will be like hitting them in the palm of your hand.

When no birds flew out, a total of eight weaver birds lay in Bifang's bag.

This bird is only slightly smaller than a pigeon, and in some cases is even as big as a pigeon. Whether it is barbecue or stew, I think it is very good.

[Escaped the snake, but not the old man]

【Weaver Bird: 6】

[Want to taste what it tastes like]

[This nest is really big, I’ve never seen such a big bird’s nest before, it’s really amazing]

"There are only so many holes in one cave. It is conservatively estimated that there are more than a hundred weaver birds living in it, nearly a hundred and fifty. It can be considered a big family."

After he was done, Bi Fang didn't forget to reach into the nest and dig out a lot of eggs.

Many poultry do not lay eggs like mammals. They need to find a good season. They can often lay eggs when they have food. Bi Fang is not surprised by this.

Even if we didn't get any baobab fruit on this trip, just looking at these eight birds and a lot of little bird eggs was already a huge profit.

It's a pity that I don't know if I will have such a good opportunity next time.

After zipping up his backpack to prevent the still-dead weavers from escaping, Bi Fang followed the branches to the end, took the stick from behind, and knocked on a fruit as big as a papaya, breaking one in a few strokes.

, the fruit falls naturally under the action of gravity and hits the ground, leaving a small pit.

Harley under the tree was startled by the sudden fruit. He cautiously came forward and smelled it. Before he could smell anything, another fruit fell right next to him.

The cheetah got scared and immediately left the tree and ran ten meters away.

It wasn't until Bifang knocked down seven or eight fruits and came to the tree to shout that it dared to get a little closer.

"Cowardly."

Bi Fang knocked on its head and tied the fruits together with a rope, ready to hang them directly on his body.

Each of these fruits is as big as a large papaya and cannot fit in eight bags, so we can only use this method.

In addition, Bi Fang also made a lot of tree leaves.

"The leaves of the baobab tree are rich in vitamins and calcium. Its fresh and tender leaves are a very popular vegetable among the locals. The leaves can be made into soup or fed to horses; the leaves can be used as seasoning after being dried and mashed."

"Not to mention the flowering fruit, the seeds themselves can be dried and used as coffee beans."

Can the leaves be eaten?

Coffee beans?

Are there so many uses?

"Not only that, the baobab tree is hollow inside. Many people will even cut a door directly and live in it."

【Oh my god, this tree is too useful, right?】

[Let me count, it can store water, its fruits can be eaten, its leaves can also be eaten, and it can also be used as a house. It is a treasure tree!]

【It's really a bit awesome.】

“It’s a lot to gain.”

Bi Fang looked in front of him and felt sincerely happy.

If you don't want to continue going north and live directly on this baobab tree, you don't have to worry about food at all.

The eight fruits he picked were only a small part of the tree, and there were still a lot of them hanging.

Finally, Bi Fang came to the tree, pulled out his dagger and stuck it in, preparing to get some water for drinking.

It's usually troublesome to get fresh water, and you can't drink it freely. Now that you finally have the opportunity, of course you have to indulge.

The water stored in the trunk is filtered by the tree, and there is no need to boil it for sterilization.

The bark of the baobab tree is not hard, and a dagger can be inserted easily. After Bi Fang pulled it out, everyone realized how exaggerated the so-called "water storage tower" was.

I just inserted a slit with a dagger, and it came out in a steady stream!

Bi Fang quickly took out the kettle and drank it. After the tree slowly healed itself and the sap reduced, he drank all the water in the kettle in one go.

A touch of sourness and thin sweetness, a rather complex taste spreads in the mouth, and it is not unpleasant to drink.

【How is it, what does it taste like?】
