Chapter 326 Smell
Cold, hard, the morning mist is filled with smoke.
This was Bifang's first feeling when he woke up in the morning. Even though there was a soft sponge mat under him, it still felt like he had slept on a hard bed all night.
The feeling of sleeping in a city is very different from that in the wilderness. It is colder and more uncomfortable. It not only feels more restrained, but also makes people feel uncomfortable.
When I woke up, my trachea seemed to be blocked with smoke and dust.
“Ahem.”
After coughing twice, Bifang opened his eyes and looked at the seat above his head. It took him a long time to realize that he was on a six-day wilderness survival mission in Yeimen.
Today is the second day.
【Hey, Master Fang is up! 】
【Spread the word! 】
"Everyone……"
Bifang wanted to say hello, but just as he opened his mouth, the rumbling sound of his stomach interrupted the rest of his words. The scene was very awkward for a moment.
[It’s twelve o’clock noon now, and I’m eating. It smells so good. Hahaha]
【Chopped pepper rice, served with maocai】
[No more talking, I'll take this fish head first. ]
Looking at the netizens' boastful comments, Bifang scratched his head, laughed, took away the sponge pad blocking the window, and introduced it.
"I am currently in the war-torn city of Yemen in Abatsogang. This should be an abandoned industrial area. I have spent a miserable night here. Cold, wet, and hungry are not enough to describe my current state. If there is a pot of hot breakfast in front of me now, it will definitely be the happiest thing for me in the past few days."
Climbing out of the car, Bifang took a deep breath facing the rising sun, exhaling mist. The coldness stimulated every cell in his body, causing him to quickly wake up from his dormant state.
After doing some simple warm-up exercises to regain his form, Bifang planned to try yesterday’s trap. If he returned empty-handed again, it would definitely not be good news for him.
Grabbing the rope and entering the factory again, Bifang came to the trap again. But before he got close, his heart sank. Looking from more than ten meters away, he found that several noose traps were all empty!
[It's over, the destiny is not in Fangshen's hands! ]
[I feel like Lao Fang had a pretty bad time this time. He didn't catch any prey the whole day and just ate some bugs.]
[It seems that only the first live broadcast between Lao Fang and Hai Yang was so miserable? ]
When netizens saw that Bifang's trap failed again, they couldn't say they were gloating, but they felt quite funny. It is quite interesting to see a strong person being defeated.
The bear was beaten, the wolf was killed, and the trap was set but it was always thwarted.
"Although the traps are empty, we should not give up easily. Let's take a closer look. We may find something unexpected. I left the mouse's internal organs yesterday. The noose traps have no results. It may not be because no prey is approaching. It may also be that the prey did not fall into the trap and escaped. But there must be traces of their presence. Maybe there is still hope."
Although disappointed, Bifang was not annoyed. Traps are extremely dependent on luck, and one cannot place too much hope on them.
After getting a few meters closer, Bifang, who was about to give up completely, suddenly raised his nose slightly and then smiled.
It seems that it is not all in vain.
A faint stench was in the air, indicating that some living creature had been here.
When we got closer, even the netizens noticed that the remaining rat entrails from last night were gone!
[Oh my god, there really is such a thing? ]
[What the hell, so clever? ]
"fox!"
Bifang half-knelt on the ground, pointing at the obvious diamond-shaped footprints in the dust. A few yellowish hairs could be found nearby, which were obviously left by other creatures.
"I don't know if you still remember the training methods for finding prey that Mugalen taught me last time. Those theories are basically correct. Foxes have three small paws, cats have plum blossom prints, bears have four front paws with large callus, deer and sheep are similar, with two sharp paws, and rabbits have basically a plum blossom dot in front and a long strip in the back, which is the hind leg print. The places where wild boars walked are like bulldozers. You see, the footprints here are narrow diamonds, because fox footprints are more slender than dog footprints, generally 5 cm long and 4 cm wide. There is a gap between the two front paws and the two back paws, and the gap is longer than a matchstick. And early spring from March to April is the season for foxes to shed their fur, so hair can often be seen between the footprints. Not only foxes, but most animals shed their fur at this time, dogs shed their fur from March to May, and cats also shed their fur in spring and autumn."
Bifang picked up the hair on the ground and showed it to the audience. It was a thick bunch of short hair.
The most important thing is that Bifang smelled the stench that was unique to foxes.
[Fuck, body odor is real? ]
[The smell is so strong, you can ask directly? 】
[Amazing! Is Fang Shen's nose a dog's nose? ]
Bifang shook his head. If you look carefully, you can actually smell this kind of smell. After all, it is really strong.
"Foxes don't have a strong smell. If they really have a natural body odor, wouldn't it be a natural mark in the eyes of many olfactory predators?"
The netizens couldn't help but nod their heads, as if there was some truth to it.
"Foxes are similar to skunks in this respect. There is a glandular sac on each side of the fox's anus that can release a strange odor. Its function is to avoid natural enemies. So when a fox is stimulated or frightened, it is very likely to release a very unbearable odor. In addition, the fox's urine has a strong smell, which is difficult to remove. In fact, it is more like a foul smell than a bad smell. So I guess this little fox not only ate the mouse's internal organs, but also defecated here."
With his nostrils twitching, Bifang easily found the fox 's excretion place. Because the ground was covered with dust, he could tell where there were traces of water without looking too carefully.
A pool of dried yellow irregular patches suddenly appeared on the factory floor. Bifang could guarantee that this thing was definitely not there yesterday.
There are indeed very few foxes in the city, but in abandoned cities like Yemen, you can still occasionally see some wild animals.
Besides, the urban construction in Abasogang is very scattered, not as dense as that in China. Otherwise, the fire the day before yesterday would not have burned only half of the street without anyone stopping it. In this case, some wild animals would occasionally enter the urban area.
"I don't have any bait left. In this case, the fox is unlikely to show up again, so I can only chase it and see if I can catch it directly. I just need to follow the footprints..."
And the smell...
Bifang pointed at a series of footprints on the ground with his eyelids drooped, and did not say the second half of the sentence.
The city is full of concrete floors, and it is difficult to find prey based on footprints alone. Unfortunately, this fox should never have done anything wrong. After eating the internal organs, it also urinated, and its body was also stained with the smell.
Isn't this just seeking death?
