Chapter 208 Discovering the Centennial Orchid (Godfather, please subscribe)
"It's too small and so short." An Yifei took the little snake and felt that there was not even two bites of meat left for her to eat.

"I hope we can get something else soon, otherwise we can only eat those dates at night." Meng Chao said helplessly.

Then, the two people came to a small tree.

After seeing the tree, Meng Chao directly aimed the engineer shovel at its base and prepared to start sawing it down.

Apparently, Meng Chao thought the shrub was suitable for making hunting bows.

Because this small tree is quite tall, more than two meters, and its trunk is also quite thick, as thick as Meng Chao's arm.

The key point is that it is straight and looks very suitable.

Next, it depends on whether its hardness and strength are sufficient.

If it is not enough, there is no way to make a hunting bow.

The bow has relatively high requirements on materials, which directly affects its range and power.

Meng Chao also considered it when choosing weapons, but finally gave up because he felt that he could make a hunting bow with his skills.

There won't be any large beasts in the desert, so a simple hunting bow made by yourself is enough.

"What kind of tree is this? It's not a shrub, right?" An Yifei asked curiously.

"To be honest, I don't know either." Meng Chao's knowledge of plants is relatively limited.

"Maybe there will be viewers who recognize him." As he spoke, Meng Chao continued to clear the branches of the bushes.

"They didn't say anything. I don't know if it was blocked by the program crew." An Yifei said while looking at her watch.

She remembered that viewers had said before that some comments would be blocked by the program team, saying that they were worried that it would affect the challenge.

"It doesn't matter if I don't know. I'll know if it works if I try it. It's pretty hard when I saw it, so I don't think it's a big problem."

Meng Chao put it aside and continued to explore other places.

"Why is there not even a cactus in this place? If there were any, we could eat some." An Yifei said somewhat depressed.

She had had enough of those dates for today and wished for something else.

She was becoming less and less interested in the desert challenge.

"At least there's a rabbit... Hey, there's a hole here, I wonder if it's a rabbit hole." Meng Chao found a hole under a bush and couldn't help but get excited.

This kind of hole is definitely not formed naturally, after all, it was dug by animals.

"It's indeed a rabbit." Meng Chao picked up the rabbit hair from the cave entrance and immediately became happy.

"There shouldn't be several holes made by wild rabbits in this place, right?" An Yifei also became excited, thinking about digging the hole now and pulling out the rabbit inside.

"It's hard to say. This is soil, not sand." Meng Chao had no way to judge.

After all, he didn't have X-ray vision and couldn't see what was going on inside the cave.

It’s hard to say whether there are rabbits in there, maybe they are gone long ago.

"Do you want to set a trap?" An Yifei asked curiously.

If the hare gets away, we'll lose our dinner.

"You keep an eye here, I'll look around to see if there are any other holes." Meng Chao planned to go check nearby first, and then take action if there was none.

It would take a long time to set the trap, and they would have nothing else to eat at night.

The best thing is to dig directly and dig out the hare.

Meng Chao did not find any holes under the nearby bushes, but he made other discoveries.

He discovered a few Welwitschia plants and immediately became happy.

Because Welwitschia has certain edible value, it is known as the desert onion.

The edible part is its leaves, which can be eaten directly after heating.

Meng Chao went up to take a look and saw that the leaves of these 100-year-old orchids were very thick, probably because there was plenty of water here. Without saying anything, Meng Chao went up to cut off some leaves.

"Audience, do you know this plant?" Meng Chao asked.

Hearing Meng Chao's voice, An Yifei couldn't help but stick her head out.

However, she did not walk away because she knew she still had to keep an eye on the hole to prevent the hare from suddenly running out.

"Look, these are the bite marks of rabbits. It seems that wild rabbits do live here."

"These bite marks are still fresh. It looks like the hare in the hole is still there." Meng Chao pointed out the bite marks happily.

[Isn't this a Welwitschia? There is actually such a plant? ]

[This place can't be in Angola, it seems to be native there? ]

[Since it is native, it is possible that it was introduced to other places. After all, it is in Africa. ]

[Isn't this place the Sahara Desert? Why do you think it's in Angola? It's south of the Sahara.]

[There are so many geography masters. This thing can be eaten, right? Brother Chao is very happy to see it. ]

[Of course it can be eaten. If it can't be eaten, why cut its leaves? 】

"Yes, the leaves are edible. They are also known as desert onions. They can save lives when food is scarce."

Meng Chao explained, after all, he was still reading the comments.

After saying that, he continued to search the area.

He did not find any other cave entrances, so he returned to An Yifei.

"What are you holding in your hand?" An Yifei saw Meng Chao holding some leaves and asked hurriedly.

She just read the barrage, but the people in her live broadcast room didn’t say anything.

"The leaves of the Welwitschia are edible. I don't know if they taste good." As he said that, Meng Chao handed the Welwitschia leaves to An Yifei.

"Let me dig the hole. I haven't found any other entrances." Meng Chao said and prepared to start.

Just at this moment, Lee Ji-eun came over with a small torch.

"Oppa, let's use smoke." Lee Ji-eun learned through the barrage that Meng Chao had discovered the rabbit hole, so she prepared this.

"Okay, let's try fumigating it first." He agreed to Li Zhien's suggestion and used an engineer shovel to clear the bushes and make room.

Soon, IU started a fire and used her waist-mounted fan to blow air.

This waist-mounted fan is very powerful. It can not only be used for cooling, but also for burning fire.

Adjust it to the lowest gear, hold it farther away, and the fire will be very powerful.

After adjusting the wind direction, the thick smoke blew directly towards the cave entrance.

After a while, Meng Chao discovered that smoke was coming out from somewhere else.

Without saying a word, he ran straight over there.

As soon as I arrived, I saw a rabbit jumping out from inside.

[Luckily IU suggested smoking it, otherwise dinner would have been gone. ]

[Run? Where can you run to? It's so hot outside. At most you can hide under some bushes or grass. Can you escape the night vision goggles?]

[That's right, don't we have night vision goggles? We can't run away. There's no way a hare can run outside the oasis. If it runs away, it will surely die.]

[No need to go hungry at night. I was worried that my wife would be hungry. ]

[Don't be too optimistic. You will be dumbfounded if you run into the desert.]
