You’re a lone lion—how dare you go hunting water buffalo? You trying to die? Absolutely clueless.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Woooh—!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Da Huang let out a low whine, hung his head, and rubbed against Qin Yun.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hothead,” Qin Yun sighed, shaking his head. “If I hadn’t been here this time, what would you have done?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Watching the human-lion interaction, viewers in the livestream kept exclaiming “666”—a massive lion, facing a human, showing affection and submission—this scene had tremendous impact.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Following the same path back, they returned to their original resting spot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The man and lion continued forward, traveling another dozen kilometers, when Qin Yun spotted a small river—its water clear enough to drink without filtration, just boil it first. No large predators lived near the bank; only a few scattered herbivores were present.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After fetching water, Qin Yun didn’t set up camp by the river—he stopped three hundred meters away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Here, piles of loose rocks leaned against two flat-topped Jin Hehuan trees, their thick foliage perfect for overnight rest. The incident with Da Huang had delayed them—unconsciously, it was already five in the afternoon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He glanced at where the sun was sinking; today’s cloud cover was thick, and the sunset’s glow filtered through like molten gold.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Yun gathered materials on-site, stacking stones to build a stove, lighting a fire, then began constructing their night camp.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Slap!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Damn, so many mosquitoes—even through clothes they bite! This is ridiculous.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Yun waved his hand—visibly, a dense swarm of mosquitoes flew through the air, their “buzzing” annoyingly persistent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Da Huang lay nearby, flicking his tail to shoo them off—mosquitoes had zero effect on him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Near a river, mosquitoes are normal—but in Africa, they’re not like in China. These mosquitoes are called human killers; news reports say over a million Africans die each year from mosquito-borne malaria.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this number, netizens were stunned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What? Mosquitoes kill that many people?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Africa’s so primitive—light some mosquito coils!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I recommend Li-brand mosquito coils.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Yun chuckled helplessly, shook his head, waved away more mosquitoes, and said while building the camp: “Everyone knows I’m Chinese. In China, there’s a saying: where venomous snakes appear, a cure must be within ten meters. It’s not always perfectly true, but it holds in most cases—like here, where mosquitoes gather, there must be plants that repel them.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Back by the river, I saw several plants I could use to repel mosquitoes—we’ll gather some now.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, Qin Yun built a simple stone camp, stacking rocks into a sleeping platform.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He clapped his hands, then turned and walked toward the river.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the riverbank, the sun was nearly gone; though twilight lingered, the sky had turned dull yellow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this “animal” appear, the local animals by the river were startled again—but after a moment of caution, realizing no further threat, they resumed drinking calmly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Yun ignored them; unless he needed food, he wouldn’t hunt unnecessarily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He walked a few steps, his eyes lit up as he pointed to a clump of plant resembling orchids: “Look—this is citronella, also called lemon grass. It contains high concentrations of citronellal—excellent mosquito repellent.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He stepped forward, used his dagger to cut at the roots, and gathered a large bundle in his hands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He shook the citronella and said to the camera: “Crush fresh leaves and rub them directly on your skin to avoid mosquito bites. Burning them also drives mosquitoes away.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He took two more steps, crouched down, and studied another plant: “This is papyrus. Its roots, stems, and leaves contain mosquito-repelling essential oils—very effective too. I’ll take some back.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Papyrus grew abundantly by the water; Qin Yun pulled up four or five stalks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Everyone, you probably recognize this marigold—it’s also a great mosquito repellent, but we don’t need much of it.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Splash—!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, a splash rang out, followed by a piercing scream.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The unexpected noise made Qin Yun whirl around.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By the riverbank, a young zebra was being dragged underwater by a crocodile, thrashing wildly. The zebra’s mother screamed desperately on shore, powerless, forced to watch her child vanish.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sudden event terrified all nearby animals—they scattered instantly. Soon, not a single beast remained near the river. Even the zebra mother, seeing she couldn’t save her young, turned and fled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A child can be replaced; if you die, you’re gone for good.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Holy shit—that’s a Nile crocodile! That ambush? Who could react in time?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That size? Definitely a Nile crocodile.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So sneaky—hiding underwater, we didn’t see a thing.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Yun watched the river surface bubble and churn, then the crocodile and the zebra vanished beneath the water.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This is a Nile crocodile. Between the Gelumitihe and Malahe, there are no other crocodiles—only Nile crocodiles. At Tian Guo Zhi Du, there are three to four thousand of them. Every year, during the wildebeest and zebra migrations, they hunt heavily. Their bite force is around one to two tons, and they can hold their breath for hours—two hours underwater in still mode is no problem.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“They strike suddenly—no one can react in time.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shaking his head, Qin Yun returned to camp, citronella and papyrus in hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Back at camp, he waved the plants and smiled: “With these, we won’t have to worry about mosquito bites tonight.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He quickly processed them—first rubbed citronella on his skin, then added a layer of papyrus oil. Then, dragging a reluctant Da Huang, he smeared the mixture all over the lion’s body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Finally, he burned the leftover citronella and papyrus, scattering the smoke around the camp to repel mosquitoes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, in the camera’s view, not a single mosquito remained—every last one had been driven away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“666, Brother Qin gives total safety.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Da Huang: I don’t need this—I stink.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Qin Yun: Yes, you do.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Awooo—!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a roar, Da Huang lunged forward like an arrow released from a bow, his powerful legs pounding the grass with heavy “thuds,” his mane exploding in the wind—looking utterly majestic on camera.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A young wildebeest panicked, sprinting desperately to escape the pursuit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Da Huang’s speed far exceeded its expectations—in seconds, the distance closed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He leapt, slamming his forelegs onto the wildebeest’s back, claws sinking deep into its hide, leaving bloody gashes. The wildebeest let out a shrill cry, thrashing wildly, as if calling for help from the distant herd.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the distant wildebeest kept far away—no one dared come near to die.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, the wildebeest stumbled and fell, pinned down by Da Huang, unable to rise. The lion lowered his head, opened his jaws full of sharp teeth, and bit hard into the wildebeest’s neck.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His sharp canines pierced the skin effortlessly—blood gushed out, staining Da Huang’s mane.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On camera, the wildebeest’s struggles weakened, its cries grew fainter, its legs kicked less forcefully, its body slowly went limp.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Viewers witnessed Da Huang’s raw power in this complete hunt—poor wildebeest, now just a meal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this point, Qin Yun was less than a day’s journey from Malahe—he’d reach it by noon tomorrow. As he neared Malahe, animals grew more numerous; the great migration herd reappeared in his view.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When the wildebeest was completely still, Qin Yun walked over from a distance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But after two steps, he suddenly stopped. The camera turned to another direction—there, clearly visible, were four lionesses, no males, no cubs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Book test in progress!
