Chapter 131
The four of them returned to the cave almost at the same time. Ao Jing and Kate were using mud instead of cement to help pile up the stones they picked up. They had just set up a layer when they saw Aum dragging a tree over, and Dai Weiss followed behind like a retired veteran cadre with his hands behind his back.
The two girls glanced at each other, and both were keenly aware of the change in the atmosphere between them, so after they both drove in front of them, Kate pulled Davis away on the grounds that she was going to pick ghost needles used to repel mosquitoes, leaving only Xia Aojing and Aum were in the cave, one continued to build the stove, and the other dragged the tree and didn't know where to put it.
"Just put it horizontally at the entrance of the hole, and leave an exit to seal it at night." Ao Jing slowly piled up stones with mud. This job is a bit like a child playing with building blocks. It is easy to fail at the beginning, but practice makes perfect once or twice. , they needed Davis to help them build the stove for the first time, but now the two girls can also complete it independently.
Aum silently threw the dead tree in front of the hole, but kept some distance from Ao Kyung so that the thorns on the branches would not scratch her, and her position was used as the entrance, leaving a place where she could A space to sit around the fireplace.
"Come over and sit for a while, and we will have a meeting when they come back."
Ao Kyung pointed to a few flat light gray rocks beside the stove. These were moved out of the cave by her, and they could be used as seats when resting in the camp.
Aum hesitated for a moment, and slowly moved to sit next to the girl, looking down at her using the peeled bark instead of hands to stir the mud. The brown-black mud made a viscous sound, binding the stones together.
Although there are tools instead, it is unavoidable to get dirty during the preparation process. The girl's palm is covered with plant ash, and the upper part of the black hand is a pearly white forearm. The color contrast is very strong, and the muscles are strong. The smooth lines are propped up from time to time, which breaks the impression of fragility brought by her delicate and delicate face. Compared with the protected one, her current performance is indeed closer to the image of a leader.
"you……"
Aum frowned, and looked at the girl's side face. She was very focused on touching the mud. Although her jaw line was very deep and sharp, her facial features were quite delicate. The most attractive thing was her pair of smart round eyes. The gold color is reminiscent of the full moon casting light over the sea, and the luminous body hanging from the forehead of the anglerfish swimming on the bottom of the sea.
"Who the hell are you?"
Human beings don’t give trust easily. Arthur can’t give him to a friend on land for no reason, let alone think that an ordinary girl can suppress a strong man like him, even though the two of them looked at each other Not pleasing to the eye, but Arthur would not humiliate him in this way.
As for Mera, she was so vigilant and suspicious, and naturally she would not deal with him casually—don't look at the concern on her face during the process, there is no one in this world who does not want him to have the opportunity to escape from control more than she does.
At first, Aum thought that a girl like Ao Kyung might be another bargaining chip they used to persuade him. After all, Arthur robbed his fiancée, and giving him another one seemed fair, and Ao Kyung's appearance was not inferior. Yu Meila, although she looks cold and speaks viciously, but her voice is clear, sweet and soft, and it is true that she can arouse a man's desire to protect... or to conquer more than Meila.
I have to say that Aum's heart really moved when he met Ao Kyung's golden eyes for the first time. Anyway, Mera is only the object of political marriage. Even though they were childhood sweethearts, that woman never thought about him. It even played a vital role in overthrowing his plan, so it would be good to replace such a fiancée.
But he soon discovered that things were not as ambiguous as he thought. The girl was not a compensation from Arthur, but a supervisor who wanted to take him to land.She didn't reveal her identity, and Arthur only said that she was his friend on land, and his mother and Mera never mentioned it, and the mysterious ability she showed made Aum even more curious.
"Is this important?" The girl leaned forward and piled up another stone. The small stove has been built three layers, and it is almost up to Aum's knees. "Your brother thinks I can control you."
"I don't think you can do anything to me." Aum laughed, boldly stretched out his hand to touch the girl's chin, and turned her small face to him, "Arthur may have been dazzled by the victory, he It's just that I got the trident by luck, if he didn't have that thing, he would still be my defeat."
"Sowhat, Arthur has the final say in Atlantis now, even if it lost to you, it was in the past." Ao Kyung patted Aum's hand, leaving a black mark on his wrist, " And how to care about you depends on my mood, you'd better cherish the time when you have a good life."
They are all sea people, but Aum has no ability to survive on land. Ao Jing's rectification will make him unforgettable forever, but she has never liked violence. Before Aum does not violate the bottom line, she will look at Arthur's Be more lenient with him.
The girl slapped him away with little force, as non-threatening as a sea anemone's tentacles, but it made Aum very interested in making trouble with her.
"Really? Where is it?"
He intentionally used a frivolous tone, and stretched out his hand to try to tease Ao Kyung again, but the girl's eyes flashed coldly, and the tip of her tongue licked the neat teeth, allowing Aum to see the pair of sharp teeth on the side, The half-stretched hand suddenly felt a dull pain.
At this moment, Davis and Kate came back with two balls of ghost needle grass, breaking the confrontation between the two. Aum retracted his hand as if nothing had happened, avoiding the fate of turning into a human-shaped molar stick.
The two human team members knew nothing about what happened to them just now. Seeing that Ao Jing had set up the stove, they happily set up a fire to boil hot water.
"Okay, I have nothing to do now, let's have a meeting." Ao Jing clapped her hands, her hands were still stained with black ash, and some gray-black powder would burst out when she patted, which looked very down-to-earth .
The tradition of their team is that the first day they arrive at the destination is used to recharge their batteries and use the time for rest and meetings. Firstly, they can store up the physical strength needed for the long-distance trek the next day, and secondly, Ao Jing will give them back Reiterate the dos and don'ts during the inspection.Although Davis often went to Africa to fight against poaching groups before joining the team, and he knew the climate and terrain here, he was still willing to follow Ao Jing to listen to it again.This tradition of stopping work on the first day was not cancelled, even when leading the National Geographic film crew. It also caused dissatisfaction among those photographers at the time, but it turned out that their work progress was not delayed at all, but much faster than expected. .
More importantly, when someone sneezed loudly and caused an avalanche, it was Ao Kyung's route planning that saved them from being buried alive by six meters of snow, and no one doubted any of her decisions since then.
Is there anyone in this world who understands nature better than dragons?No.
So listen to it.
"First of all, the objects of our investigation this time are the blue horse antelope and the quagga. Both of them became extinct around 1880, but they existed in large numbers during the Ice Age. It is still very likely that we will find fossils." Ao Jing She took out a topographic map, on which several marks had been drawn, and this was the clue she had.
"What I want to emphasize is the safety issue. This time our purpose is to observe the ecology of the African grasslands in addition to excavating fossils. Now South Africa is in the rainy season, which is good news for our work. After all, we went to Mauritius last time. It was still the dry season, and I don’t want to go through the days of water shortage everywhere, at least I don’t have to worry about the water source now.” Her finger pointed to the topographic map, on which besides the red mark, several circles were drawn with a compass, some Some circles are in puddles, some are circled in grasslands, and there are several cute cartoon animal heads pasted in the circles. "But we have water to drink, and so do the aborigines here. Animals in the rainy season are more active than in the dry season. In the dry season, they may let you go because they are too hot to move. In the rainy season, everyone is alive and kicking. A grasshopper can be chased for a long time."
"puff!"
Kate couldn't help laughing out loud when she heard Ao Jing's analogy. She has to say that she likes meetings more and more after joining the team. Who makes the captain look good and speak well?
Ao Kyung looked up at her, the helplessness in his eyes made Kate stick out her tongue and say sorry in a low voice.
"Wild animals have a strong sense of territory, and our work will inevitably be close to their territory. The lions and rhinos need to be most careful. The former is a carnivore. In the eyes of the lions, we are four walking hams. The only difference is that A large group of lions usually accepts all of them with a smile." Su Bai pointed to the lions on the map. They have the largest territory and are one of the easiest species to encounter, and their lethality is beyond doubt. "So work When you are walking, all follow closely and do not scatter, and the distance between each other should not exceed one meter. We usually do not encounter a whole group of lions, the greatest chance is to encounter two or three lionesses, with or without cubs, they all You will not rush to attack a seemingly large target, because the success rate will be very low and it is not worth shooting. But as long as we are separated, even if there is only a distance of three meters between everyone, it means that you are alone, and they will kill you in an instant. "
The grassland is full of murderous threats at any time, and lions are the most likely to take the initiative to attack, and they are also their primary defense objects when they move here.
"Secondly, there are rhinos. There are some wild southern white rhinos scattered around here. They have a good temper. When they are invaded, they will give people time to evacuate, and they will not attack immediately. When encountering them, it is best to retreat and talk to them. They keep a safe distance of 50 meters..."
Ao Jing explained carefully one by one. She did this because she didn't know Aum, who didn't know land creatures. any response.
Really worry about the dragon.
Due to the biodiversity in the rainy season of the South African grassland, Ao Kyung has to worry about more places than in the Himalayas. There are carnivores everywhere, as well as aggressive bison and hippos with a strong sense of territory and more lethality. There are venomous snakes hiding in the grass that cannot be guarded against. Most species can see blood and seal their throats with just a drop of venom. Although she is a guide who must do everything carefully and step on the thunder at the forefront every time she sets off, she will take care of everything Clearly explain all the dangers first to make the team members more vigilant.
This time the safety guide took longer than usual to explain, but Aum, the only one who needed to listen to the lecture, propped his head in a drowsy state. He couldn't bear the patience for these "wild precautions" and only felt that Ao Jing was doing it. I underestimated him, so I didn't take it seriously, and went to bed after the meeting.
Davis was very dissatisfied with this. He was about to grab Aum by the collar of his neck and teach him a lesson when Ao Kyung grabbed his wrist. The girl looked at the back of the blond man entering the tent and smiled very kindly.
"It's okay, this is Africa."

Africa: copy.
Africa in dry season:
Zebra: One step, two steps, like a devil's pace...
Lion: Damn it's already hot enough, you still flaunt yourself in front of me, roll as far as you can!
Africa in the rainy season:
Hippo: What are you looking at?
Crocodile: What are you looking at?
