Chapter 772 771. Hello, Treasure Island (55)

This extremely exciting misunderstanding made Li Du feel very embarrassed. The flying fox's injury was caused by Ah Miao, and he was jointly and severally responsible as the master.

Ah Meow attacked too fast just now, and he couldn't stop it even if he wanted to. This is the nature of tiger cats, attacking and aggressing like fire!

But it's not appropriate to put the responsibility entirely on them. How did they know that this kind of vicious and ferocious flying fox is actually a beneficial animal?

Li Du believes that anyone who sees a giant flying fox for the first time will be terrified, especially when he is sleepy, and when he opens his eyes and sees this thing, it is considered courageous not to pee in fear.

Sophie is a surgeon. She had studied veterinary medicine in college. She is considered a half veterinarian, so she was able to take care of Ah Meow when she was injured.

It would be that Ah Miao accidentally injured the spectacled flying fox, so she came to help.

The flying fox's injury lies in the fracture and possible rupture of internal organs. Sophie couldn't conduct an exact examination for it, so she could only bandage it first to treat the trauma.

But looking at the mental state of the spectacled flying fox, Sophie felt more optimistic about the injury.

"It should have no problem with its internal organs, but it fell from the second floor, causing bone damage and muscle stabbing." Sophie said, "Bats have a relatively strong recovery ability. Let it rest for a few days and change the dressing on time."

Finally, she told the homeowner couple: "Wear rubber gloves when changing the dressing next time. Bats can transmit rabies virus. You must be careful not to be bitten."

Li Du asked: "There is also rabies virus on this island? No way, you see, this island is very closed."

Sophie nodded and said: "Yes, the island is very closed, and the possibility of rabies virus is very small, but flying foxes are very capable, and they don't just stay on the island, so there is still a possibility."

After dealing with this matter, the group had a quick breakfast before preparing to leave.

As they boarded, a speedboat followed, with shop owner Victor at the wheel.

"Are you coming to see us off?" Hans joked, "Thank you very much, man."

Victor said with a cheerful smile, "I'll give you a ride, but I'm going to Herrick, so we'll be separated."

Herrick is a small town at the northeastern tip of Tasmania, which is relatively close across Cape Barron Island. Li Du guessed that Victor would go there to collect daily necessities.

They chatted a little more on the way, and Victor told them that he was not only going to collect daily necessities, but also to pick up online shopping goods bought by many people on the island.

Now the online shopping boom is sweeping the world. Even in Cape Barron Island, a place as far away as the world, residents know how to use the power of the Internet to facilitate their lives.

But Cape Barron has no signal, so how can they shop online?

Victor told him that the big guys don’t usually leave Cape Barron Island, they will travel occasionally, as long as they go to a place with Internet, they will shop online, then send it to Herrick Town, and finally he will pick it up return.

After chatting for a short time, the two parties parted ways. Victor wanted to go south, while Li Du and others continued to drive east.

During the two-hour boat trip, they encountered some small islands, but none of them were suitable for fishing black gold abalone.

After continuing to drive for a while, Lu Guan, who was looking around with a binoculars, turned his head and said, "Boss, look, Bread Tree and Island, we are here!"

A small island appeared in the southeast. The island was located in the blue sea, surrounded by the same color of sea and sky. It seemed that there was only such an isolated island floating on the sea alone.

Brother Lang approached with a boat, and Li Du and others saw the situation on the island clearly.

The area of ​​the small island is not small, it must be fifty or sixty square kilometers, but there are no islands around it, only itself in the vast ocean, so it looks very small.

The topography of the island is similar to that of Cape Barron Island, with many undulating hills, surrounded by forests around the island, and the topography gradually rises towards the middle, a bit like an overturned rice bowl.

On the outskirts of the island, there are a large number of thick and thick trees. The trunks of these trees are as thick as several people hugging each other. They are tall and burly, and the height can be more than ten meters. They stand on the island like a group of short giants.

"Is this the bread tree?" Li Du asked curiously.

Brother Wolf said: "To be precise, it is baobab trees. They are mainly distributed on islands in Africa, the Mediterranean Sea, the Atlantic Ocean, and the Indian Ocean. They are also found in northern Australia, but this is southern Australia. I didn't expect it to still exist."

"Geography and nature are so amazing." Hannah exclaimed.

Sophie thought for a while and said, "Perhaps the spectacled flying fox planted seeds here? This area is still the active area of ​​flying foxes."

Whatever the reason, they saw baobabs in the South Pacific.

Li Du said: "Look closer. It is said that baobabs are edible? I haven't seen them yet."

When it comes to eating in the field, this is Brother Wolf’s housekeeping skill. He continued to introduce: “The calcium content of the fruit of the baobab tree is very high, more than 50% higher than that of spinach.”

"Its fruit contains high antioxidant components, and the vitamin C content is three times that of a single orange. When surviving in the wilderness, this is the preferred food."

"The leaves of the tree can also be eaten. They taste very good, with a sweet taste and high fiber content. The flesh of the fruit can be crushed to make drinks, and the seeds in the fruit can be squeezed for edible oil..."

After listening to the introduction, Li Du became more interested, and waved his hand: "Let's go up, there is no doubt that we have lunch at noon today, can you be sure that this thing is not poisonous?"

Brother Lang nodded and said, "I can be sure, the fruit of the baobab tree is not poisonous."

The yacht broke down, and Li Du took a few old men to go to the island to explore the way.

When you set foot on the island, you can feel the sturdiness of these baobab trees.

Yes, although they are tall enough, often more than ten meters, compared with their super thick tree trunks, their height is not so amazing.

Looking up at these big trees, he exclaimed: "Nature is amazing. How long did you say it took for them to grow so thick?"

Brother Wolf said: "The baobab tree is an old birthday star in the plant world. Even in the harsh and dry environment of the savannah, its lifespan can still reach about 5,000 years."

Li Du continued to marvel: "You can live like this?"

Brother Wolf nodded and said, "Yes, in the 18th century, the famous French botanist Ardenson saw some baobab trees in Africa, the oldest one of which was 5,500 years old."

They walked towards the island cautiously. This is a pure and primitive island with no trace of human habitation on it. There are no roads on the island, only dense woods and wild grasses.

Walking into the edge of the forest, Brother Wolf stopped them. They didn't have enough reliable wild equipment to enter a primitive forest rashly.

Da Ao is tall and far-sighted. He looked around and pointed to the front and cheered, "Look, what did I find? This is really a treasure island!"
