Beast Studio

Audiences in the live broadcast room remembered that when Liu Wei was chatting with Daniel, Daniel also mentioned that Manobo hunters had captured the Gulf crocodile once without permission, but failed, and the trap set by the hunter was caught by the Crocodile. destroy.

Although they believed Liu Wei's scientific analysis, could the same trap trap this ferocious crocodile?

Liu Wei looked at the barrage and asked Maniga if the trap needed to be reinforced?

Maniga smiled and affirmed: "We have been forgiven by the gods. With the blessings of the gods, we will definitely be able to catch the man-eating crocodile!"

The power of this belief gives them confidence.

Although Liu Wei and the audience did not understand, they did not offend other people's customs.

Liu Wei discovered a very magical point when he followed Maniga's team of hunters to set traps.

He has been paying attention to the environment around this water area and introduced to the live broadcast room: "Brothers, there are dense aquatic plants growing around the water area we are in at the moment. When the hunters were setting traps, I observed the environment at the edge of the lake. The aquatic plants covering the water surface and the soil on the shore form a natural mud nest.

Remember when we went looking for alligators? Its nest is built under the hidden aquatic plants. Perhaps there really is a crocodile nest in this water area.

I also took a look at the surrounding environment. There is a gravel beach on the west side of the lake, which can meet the needs of the crocodile to bask in the sun.

This water area is very large, with many ravines gathered here. There must be an abundance of fish in the water, which can meet the feeding needs of the crocodile.

If I were a crocodile, I would definitely choose a nest carefully for myself, which at least meets the above conditions!"

After listening to Liu Wei's analysis, the audience in the live broadcast room was also shocked.

"It means that the direction pointed by the wizard is correct? Man-eating crocodiles live in this water?"

"It's a bit magical! Can wizards really talk to gods?"

"It's possible that during the sacrifice, the pig's blood poured into the river flowed down the river here. The wizard judged it at will!"

"..."

Liu Wei couldn't analyze it from a scientific perspective. He believed it was a coincidence.

Until the afternoon.

Maniga and his hunter friends laid more than a dozen traps in total.

After setting up the trap, Maniga looked relaxed and a little happy.

He seemed to be sure that the trap set this time would catch the man-eating crocodile.

Liu Wei didn't ask him because he had already guessed Maniga's answer. He would definitely say that he had been blessed by the gods. According to the conversation between the wizard and the gods, he could catch the crocodile before dark tomorrow.

Liu Wei suddenly felt that his scientific thinking did not seem to have much value in front of the Manobo people who believed in theology.

At night, Maniga and the hunters camped under a big tree by the lake, cutting down some weeds and spreading them on the ground.

Daniel invited Liu Wei to go back to the office in the management area to rest, and Liu Wei chose to stay and spend the night with the hunters.

Maniga looked at Liu Wei and smiled, and shared the food he brought from home, which was dried fish. Liu Wei took a few bites, and it was a bit hard and had a strong fishy smell, but it tasted pretty good.

Faced with the feeling of eating delicious food in the live broadcast room, the greedy viewers drooled.

After the meal, Maniga arranged for a night watchman, and he asked Liu Wei to sleep peacefully.

Liu Wei was on the live broadcast, and he didn't know when he fell asleep until he heard a splash of water in the middle of the night.

The hunter on duty yelled a few times, and Liu Wei woke up, picked up his live broadcast phone and chased after him.

It was already two o'clock in the morning before this time, and there were still quite a few people posting comments in the live broadcast room. A group of night owls instantly became energetic.

"what sound?"

"Caught?"

"How big is this crocodile? The true identity will be revealed soon!"

"Brothers, don't stop the barrage, get excited!"

Liu Wei ran along and rubbed his face twice to keep himself in good spirits.

When they ran over following the sound, the ripples on the water were still churning, but no crocodile was seen.

Maniga walked up with a torch to see the trap he had set, but it fell into the water.

Maniga very carefully walked to the water's edge, grabbed the rope and lifted it slightly to make sure there was no movement in the water, and then dragged the trap up.

He pointed at the pork that was stretched across the steel bars and said: "Look at the teeth marks on both sides. The man-eating crocodile must have bitten it, and the tree where the trap was hung has been torn off!"

After seeing the teeth marks on the pork, Liu Wei turned the camera to look at the tree that had fallen into the water. It was not difficult to see that it had been torn apart by a strong force.

Liu Wei analyzed: "Brothers, under normal circumstances, once the crocodile opens its mouth to bite the pork on the steel bar, the movable buckle principle of this trap will take effect immediately, even if the crocodile is stronger and breaks the tree on the shore. , the trap should be hung on its mouth at this time.

It had already escaped from the scene in front of it.

I guess there are two possibilities for why it was able to escape. The first is that it didn't feel hungry yet. It just came out of the mud nest to wander around at night, smelled the food, and opened its mouth to bite. The force was not strong, but it was. It might just be that the tip of the snout was caught on the trap, causing it to feel uncomfortable and then struggle to escape.

If you want to use this trap to completely restrain the crocodile, at least two conditions must be met. First, the steel bars covered with pork are stuck between its teeth. The deeper it bites, the easier it is because the crocodile’s teeth are closer to the mouth. The more densely you walk, the easier it is to get hooked. Second, the tree on which the trap is hung must be able to withstand the force of the crocodile's struggle.

Obviously, neither of these traps can be satisfied.

But we can see from the scene that crocodiles must have appeared here.

Another reason why it was able to escape, I guess, is that the previous hunter’s spontaneous killing without government permission heightened the vigilance of the crocodile. It must have suffered from this trap, and this time it felt something was wrong and reacted immediately !”

"This is going to be difficult!"

"Traps are useful, but what if the crocodile doesn't take the bait?"

"If you were fooled once, will you be fooled a second time?"

"I think so. As long as it is hungry, it will bite it out of its instinctive reaction of eating!"

Liu Wei shook his head slightly, I guess the result of catching the crocodile this time may not be too ideal.

Maniga in front of him and the hunters behind him looked excited.

Maniga said with great certainty: "We will definitely catch the man-eating crocodile tomorrow!"

Liu Wei couldn't help but asked curiously this time: why do you think so?

Maniga did not answer Liu Wei with a conversation between a wizard and a god. Instead, he talked about the man-eating crocodile he captured ten years ago. He said that the man-eating crocodile he captured ten years ago was the same as today. For the first time It escaped, but the next day it was tied tightly to another trap.

Maniga does not think this is a coincidence, but the accumulated experience and judgment of hunters.

Liu Wei sounds like his judgment has no scientific basis, and instead seems to be waiting to see what happens.

With a smile on his face, Maniga reached out and patted Liu Wei on the shoulder: "Have a sweet dream tonight!"
