Live Streaming: Great Adventure in the Wilderness-Chapter 804 - 800: Taming the Camel (Part 1)

The bow collapsed, the string snapped.

The behemoth fell from the top of the sand dune, plummeting straight down.

A shadow flew out, tossed and turned nonstop, pulled by a rope.

On the low sand dune, grains of sand rolled down, layer upon layer, spreading out like waves.

A large number of fine sand particles were thrown into the air by the impact, forming a thin layer of yellow mist that pervaded the base of the entire hill.

The camel fell in the desert, struggling to rise, twisting its snake-like head against the ground, trying to form a pivot point, but before it could move, a small mound of sand unexpectedly bulged in the middle to upper part of the dune.

Under the dark red setting sun, the mound of sand surged higher, fine grains sliding down its center, eventually revealing the human form beneath the sand.

"Cough, cough, cough cough cough."

The sound of coughing was exceptionally clear in the silent desert.

Bi Fang coughed twice, held his nostrils, choked out the sand between them, patted his head, and a large amount of fine sand flowed from his hair. Then he looked around somewhat dazedly.

Clearly, Bi Fang had leaped out the moment the camel fell, avoiding being crushed and injured, but he had also rolled several times down the sand dune, consuming a fair amount of sand, leaving his head spinning.

At this moment, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, then started to cheer and jump for joy over the successful hunt.

Although the process seemed perilous, this camel hunting had little suspense and danger; the rhythm of the entire event was firmly in Bi Fang's hands, orderly and controlled, providing a thrilling experience for everyone.

The sight of humans, without any weapon but a rope, easily capturing a wild beast weighing over half a ton was exciting enough for countless people.

One person, one rope, one camel.

The desert under a ruddy sun.

With tens of millions of viewers as witnesses, there was nothing cooler.

[Second time around!]

[The neck of the camel is its weak point (confirmed)]

[If a camel charges at you, listen to me, a Naked Choke is the way to go, give it a good twist, or a lasso works too, ever seen a cowboy movie? Right, you're the camel boy]

[Epic!!!]

[King of the wild, there's no beast Master Fang can't take down!]

After being dazed for a few seconds, Bi Fang saw the camel struggling atop the dune; his brain, filled with sand, finally started to clear up. He pulled his feet out of the sand and staggered towards the camel, tripping once in the process and rolling down the slope, clearly a bit weak.

"My legs are kind of numb."

Bi Fang rubbed his thigh muscles, avoiding the wildly flailing limbs of the camel, and went to the head to take off his backpack. He unzipped it all the way, emptied the contents, and, taking advantage of a missed bite from the camel, slipped the backpack over its head and secured it with the straps.

The camel, already frantically struggling, plunged into darkness, and its struggles intensified.

Under the crimson world, Bi Fang held tight to the backpack straps to prevent it from coming loose while cautiously avoiding the camel's hooves.

The entire scene looked like something out of a movie, where the villain tries to smother a good person with a pillow in an attempt to destroy the evidence.

[666, this villain vibe is killer]

[Master Fang should play a villain; I'd love to watch that]

[Why isn't it moving now?]

[I remember reading that, when transporting horses or something, if you blindfold them, they stay still, making it safer for transit]

Sure enough, after struggling for several minutes, the camel finally quieted down like those supporting characters who succumb to asphyxiation.

If it weren't for the audience being able to see the camel's heaving belly and its twitching limbs, they might really think it had suffocated to death.

Seeing that the camel wasn't moving anymore, Bi Fang relaxed, sat in the sand, and took deep breaths, licking his parched lips.

"The vision of animals provides a lot of information about the outside world. When they cannot see their surroundings, they cannot make judgments about the environment and their actions are greatly hindered, usually leaving them with no choice but to stand still."

"However, preventing animals from seeing doesn't mean they will relax. Sometimes, it can make them even more anxious. Therefore, it is not recommended to blindfold timid animals, like zebras and sika deer, during transport. It's better to use tranquilizers instead."

"A crying child may experience a brief period of 'shocked quiescence' after being blindfolded, but once they realize what's going on, they become even more irritable. But this trick does indeed work."

Bi Fang patted the camel's back, but there was still no response.

[Cool]

[Learned another trick]

[I'm not here for entertainment, I'm here to learn (certainly)]

Bi Fang looked around and noticed that the light was becoming very dim. He pushed himself up the sand dune with his knees and saw the setting sun sink, the earth changing from bright yellow to crimson, soon to be swallowed by darkness.

The night of the Sahara was coming.

The temperature accumulated in the desert during the day had not yet dissipated, and the air was still hot and dry.

Taking advantage of the last rays of the sunset, Bi Fang picked up the supplies he had dumped out of his backpack, sorting through them, and lifted the reins and a round piece of wood as he walked toward the fallen camel.

"The Alashan Gobi Desert in my country is known as the 'Homeland of Camels,' where the herdsmen have domesticated camels to serve in production and life from ancient times, and in practice, have accumulated rich techniques and experience in camel taming."

"Many of the techniques I'm using now have been summarized from their practices."

[Here it comes, Master Fang's amazing experiences]

[Master Fang's breadth of experiences and skills are as varied as the training camps on Hawaii in Detective Conan]

[Couldn't this be learned from books? (Dog's head)]

[Speaking of which, Master Fang is really young. Despite being in his twenties, he's been to more places than ninety-nine percent of people, and he knows so much. I'm envious.]

[Ah, such a man, full of stories and knowledge, truly has infinite charm. Imagine having a boyfriend like this, sitting on an autumn rocking chair, listening to his past tales.]

[Now for some daydreaming]

"Camels are majestic and formidable, truly the kings among livestock, but their weakness is the same as cows and horses—it's the nose," Bi Fang commented casually, then paused, and shook his head, "Maybe that was a useless remark. It seems like the nose is a weak point for all mammals; being hit there hurts."

"So, it's easy to help us tame them by putting a nose peg on the camel."

"The nose peg can be made of hard woods like red willow or buckthorn, shaved into shape. One end with a branch is best. If there isn't a branch, then it should be shaped into a knob so that after it's inserted in the camel's nose, it can latch onto one side."

"It's important to remember that the other end must be sharp to pierce and come through the nostril, and the sharp end should be on the left side, or inside, and then carve out a groove to tie the camel's reins to it for leading."

Bi Fang pointed to the wooden ring he had just taken out.

[Hiss, is it going to be pierced straight through?]

[Already feeling the pain]

"Actually, it won't hurt, so no need to worry about that," Bi Fang assured. "Because under the camel's nose, there's a spot covered with needle-like fuzz, which is the place for piercing the nose. It's a natural hole. No one knows which smart person discovered it."

"If it weren't for this naturally occurring hole, then piercing anywhere else would not be suitable—the nose would easily become swollen and red, and the camel would be howling in pain and even getting temperamental."

"When setting the nose peg, you can use the sharpened end to pierce directly, or you can use a slightly thicker bamboo stick to puncture through the nose first, then insert the nose peg afterward."

Using his backpack as a barrier, Bi Fang pressed down on the camel's head to start the first step of taming.
