What surprised Zhao Xinqing was that Su Bai fell silent when he heard her question.
Following Su Bai's silence, Zhao Xinqing's eyes widened involuntarily, filled with disbelief:
"You...you don't...really want to kill this bear, do you?"
Su Bai slowly shook his head and muttered:
"If you really want to kill a brown bear, it's actually very simple."
"It's not necessary..."
"It's just that... the territory of a male brown bear can easily cover a thousand square kilometers, which is almost the size of a city."
"It will take us ten days and a half to go around it..."
"I thought, how about we smear bear dung on it and wade through the water?"
"In such a large area, if we are just passing by, the probability of directly hitting a brown bear is very small."
Zhao Xinqing thought for a while, then shook her head and said:
"No, absolutely not. Once we encounter it in the wild, we will be finished."
"The water potential changes too quickly. The water flow here is gentle and you can wade through it. However, you may not have this condition in the next section of the river basin."
Su Bai looked a little shaken.
This was the first time he and Zhao Xinqing had differences of opinion.
He had his own considerations: after leaving the stable fresh water resources, the ten days of frantic traveling would be very difficult, which would put a huge load on his and Zhao Xinqing's bodies, and even lead to direct elimination.
But Zhao Xinqing's concerns are also very reasonable.
Barrage:
[Although what Dr. Zhao said is reasonable and well-founded...]
[But I still want to see the rich second generation covered in shit...]
[Actually, I would rather see the rich second generation kill a bear in anger. Su Bai just said that even if it is a 700 kilogram bear, he can kill it if he wants to! 】
[Upstairs, do you believe it? I don’t believe it.]
[Big Brother Lin Zi has already demonstrated that if a human wants to kill a ferocious beast, it relies more on brains than recklessness. So, I believe it! I think Brother Su Bai can really kill a brown bear! 】
[At this time, if the brown bear suddenly jumps out and snatches Zhao Xinqing away, and then little brother Su Bai becomes so angry that he chases after her, and with a flick of the fishing rod, causing the brown bear’s head to be dislocated, the effect of the show will definitely be explosive.]
[Program team: You’re done learning. Just wait, let’s hire a brown bear to be an actor.]
Zhao Xinqing observed Su Bai's expression and continued:
"Besides, this detour is not as long as you think."
"This is a large island, and it is an offshore area. The territory of brown bears will not be as large as that of inland bears, and it will definitely not reach a thousand square kilometers."
"Fish is an important food source for brown bears. There is a river here, so the brown bear's territory must be centered on this river."
"When we go around, we don't need to go around the entire territory, maybe even one-third of the territory, to go back to the river from the corner."
"So, if we are lucky, maybe we can bypass this brown bear territory before sunset today."
Hearing Zhao Xinqing's words, Su Bai's eyes lit up:
"Huh? This is something I didn't consider..."
"If it's only a day or two away, it's acceptable."
"Let's do this, I'll go up the tree and take a look at the terrain..."
Su Bai found a tall tree and climbed up using both hands and feet.
Standing on the tree crown, Su Bai looked far into the distance, and what he saw was naturally a lush tree crown.
But the curves created by the overlapping tree crowns can also be used to judge the terrain underneath.
The place where the tree crowns are stacked and sunken is where the river flows.
Su Bai looked around and came down from the tree with a happy face.
Zhao Xinqing saw Su Bai's expression and asked:
"Anything found?"
Su Bai nodded, pointed to the east, and said:
"There is a high mountain to the east, probably dozens of kilometers away."
"There is a tributary of the river on the high mountain, which should converge with this river."
Mountains are the natural dividing line for beasts' territories. Since there is a mountain to the east, it means that the brown bear's territory is only a few dozen kilometers to the east.
After bypassing these dozens of kilometers, the two of them can continue down the water to find a suitable campsite!
The two set off immediately, walking eastward along the outer edge of the brown bear's territory.
It was difficult to walk in the jungle, but the two of them had eaten a lot of fish during the day they stayed at the rock wall by the water. Now they were full of energy and could walk slowly.
When the sun set in the west, Zhao Xinqing let out a low cry and said:
"This is the corner of brown bear territory!"
Finding the corner meant that the two of them had gone around the brown bear's territory.
Barrage exclamation:
[They are so lucky! They got around so quickly.]
[Upstairs, this is not good luck at all. They ran into the territory of a brown bear. This is really bad luck.]
[Being able to turn danger into safety and get around it in half a day is a sign of strength.]
[That's right...this is really strength. As for Su Bai's ability to climb high and see far away, and judge the terrain, rivers and beast territories, ordinary people definitely don't have it. 】
Unknowingly, the number of viewers of Su Bai's live broadcast had stabilized at 700,000.
There are also half a million viewers in Zhao Xinqing's live broadcast room.
Their current live broadcast popularity has surpassed Wang Bang Bang and Luo Xun'er, and is second only to Lin Zi among all groups in China.
Lin Zi fumigated and killed five black bears last night, which was very popular. Today, he processed bear skins and bear meat for a day. The content of the live broadcast is much richer than that of Su Bai who has been on the road, so it attracts viewers. The number of viewers in the live broadcast room is now as high as one hundred.
Seven hundred thousand.
When Su Bai and Zhao Xinqing faced the brown bear territory, the number of viewers in the live broadcast room skyrocketed like crazy. If they had chosen to pass through the territory, the current popularity of the live broadcast might even be surpassed by Mr. Bei and Mr. De.
only……
Neither of them relies on live broadcasts to make a living, and the option of sensationalizing has never been in their minds.
In the distance to the east, a high mountain looms.
At the foot of the mountain, a stream flows rapidly, converges with the river in the brown bear territory, and flows northward along the foot of the mountain.
Su Bai and Zhao Xinqing found a shallow place in the water, crossed the intersection of the three forks, and walked towards the foot of the mountain.
Near the foot of the mountain, Su Bai looked at the lower reaches of the river, raised his eyebrows and said:
"This section of the river basin is relatively calm and very deep."
"If you have time later, you can come here to catch dinner."
"Now, let's find a temporary place to stay."
The two of them continued eastward, and when they passed by a protruding rock wall, Su Bai suddenly stopped.
This rock wall is not high, only about three or four meters.
On the back of the rock wall is a back slope facing north.
The front faces south, and further away is the stream flowing from the mountains to the east.
In the middle of the rock wall and the stream basin, there is a flat and fertile alluvial plain, about three or four acres of land, with dense vegetation.
Su Bai looked at the mountains, the water, the rock walls, and the plains.
"God-given opportunity, this is our most ideal permanent camp."
Su Bai murmured and put the backpack on the ground.
Zhao Xinqing was stunned for a moment when she heard this, and then shook her head:
"No, no! This is too close to the brown bear territory!"
