Sophie had the finished medicine in her medical kit, which could be used directly without any trouble.
But Lilikas insisted on using shea butter, and adding the time it took them to collect shea butter, it took a total of two and a half hours to use it.
After dinner, the shea butter was ready to be used.
Lilikas used a small brush made of hyena hair, dipped it in the lowest layer of golden fruit oil, and carefully and evenly applied it to Li Du's injured area.
It took them a lot of time to extract the oil, but it was worth it.
The oil was miraculously effective in treating ultraviolet skin poisoning. A few minutes after applying it, Li Du felt his skin no longer burning.
Sophie stared at the scene, and half an hour later, she exclaimed, "God, your skin is all right. It's a miracle!"
Lu Guan looked at Big Ivan and said, "We seem to have found another business opportunity."
Sophie hurried to get online. The signal was poor and the speed was very slow.
After a long time, she was lucky enough to get online and find the information she wanted.
After reading it, she looked up in confusion and said, "Strange, shea butter is an excellent health product for beautifying the skin, but there is no evidence that it has a miraculous effect in treating ultraviolet poisoning."
The lion hunter puffed out a mouthful of smoke and laughed. "Maybe, who knows? We indigenous witch doctors always have some mysterious abilities. "
Li Du thought of some of the mucus that Lilikas had poured into it, and he winked at Sophie to tell her not to ask any more questions.
It was supposed to be a medicine for treating skin damage, not just shea butter. Lilikas had also added herbs to the stone bowl, and it might have been the herbs or the mucus that had worked.
Neither the lion hunter nor Lilikas was interested in telling them the truth. Perhaps it was a tribal secret, and they didn't have to get to the bottom of it.
In addition to Li Du, Sophie also applied the ointment to her bare skin.
Lilikas kept the ivory white top layer for himself and gave the bottom two to Sophie, saying she could use it to beautify her skin.
It was obvious that he was reluctant to do so, but he had to give it away for the sake of the lion hunter.
After lunch, they continued hunting. The tents did not have to be put away. They would stay there for the night and probably camp for the next two days.
Abdo said they were now in an area inhabited by bison, zebras, and deer, and that he had found the feces of a variety of animals, including big game.
The lion hunter perked up when he heard that there was big game.
Abdo's big game referred to beasts, such as rhinoceros, lions, and cheetahs.
The ecological environment in Africa was not as good as it used to be. Because of the hunting, there were fewer big game. Even the indigenous people had fewer chances to encounter lions and cheetahs.
Abdo walked with his head bent. His posture was strange because of his thin figure and hunched back, making him look like a bow.
This posture did not affect his walking speed. He walked very fast, and even a young man like Lu Guan found it difficult to keep up.
It was even more difficult for the lion hunter. He indulged in wine and women all year round, and he always had cigars with him. His physical fitness had deteriorated.
Even though it was winter and the grass on the grassland had withered, the height of the grass was still impressive. Some unknown weeds could grow as high as Li Du's chest.
The top part of the weeds was yellow, but the bottom part was green.
The lion hunter told Li Du that the grass was called kaka grass, because animals made a 'kaka' sound when eating it.
This was an important food source for the local grassland animals. Once spring arrived, as long as the spring rain fell, they would turn green overnight.
Ten minutes later, they saw a puddle. A group of bison with broad chests and thick limbs surrounded the puddle to drink water.
These oxen were very muscular, with large horns on their heads. Most of them were three meters long and one and a half meters tall. Their bodies were covered in short, brownish black hair, and they looked like small tanks.
It was not uncommon to find African water buffaloes in swamps. These animals could be found all over Africa. They were one of the land animals that had the highest demand for water resources. It could be said that they were happy without water.
Li Du remembered that African buffaloes seemed to drink water at least once a day. Their herd was never far from a water source, so if they wanted to hunt bison, they just needed to find a water source.
However, hunting African water buffaloes was not easy. Although buffaloes looked clumsy, they were actually one of the most dangerous animals in Africa, no less than black rhinos, hippos, and crocodiles.
According to some animal protection organizations, African water buffaloes were one of the animals that hurt the most people in Africa, and could be ranked in the top three.
As soon as they appeared on the edge, a water buffalo spotted them. It raised its head and mooed aloud, then limped toward them.
The lion hunter wiped the barrel of his gun with ease and asked, "Would you like some beef?"
Li Du smiled and said, "I heard that African hare tastes good. I think we'd better have some for dinner."
The lion hunter shook his head and said, "We spent 100,000 dollars to come in, Li. I know you are kind-hearted, but this is nature. The strong prey on the weak."
The buffalo walked firmly toward them. Its leg was probably injured, but this kind of buffalo was even more frightening. They were insecure and especially aggressive.
Under the leadership of this buffalo, the other buffaloes followed and rushed aggressively in the direction of Li Du and the others.
Ah Meow, Ah Ow, and the others looked at each other. They were too small compared to the buffaloes. Even if they had to face only one buffalo, they would be under pressure, let alone a herd.
Ali, on the other hand, was full of fighting spirit. It rubbed its paws and glared at them, ready to pounce.
Li Du was quick to react. He grabbed Ali by the neck and lifted him up. "Retreat, guys, let's not take any risks."
Once surrounded by a herd of water buffaloes, even a lion would have to kneel. The angry buffaloes were terrible.
Li Du did not want to take risks, and he had no interest in killing these animals. He was not being unreasonable. In fact, it was the lion hunter's own arrangement to participate in this hunt.
The lion hunter had a Zulu hunting instinct in his bones. Seeing Li Du and the others retreat, he raised his gun, aimed quickly, and pulled the trigger.
There was a gunshot, and a small piece of the calf's skull was removed.
The calf staggered two steps and fell headfirst to the ground.
The cow next to it went crazy. It stared at Li Du and the others with its bell-like eyes, then started to run, lowering its head and rushing toward them.
Li Du secretly cursed the lion hunter for being meddlesome. They did not come in a car. Why did they provoke the buffalo?
After shooting leisurely, the lion hunter turned his head and said decisively, "The cow is going to take revenge. What are you doing here? Run! "
As he spoke, he sprinted like a madman.
Li Du almost scolded him. If you knew it would anger the cow, why are you still meddling? If you were meddling, could you have told us in advance?
Now was not the time to complain. He also hurried to run.
Seeing this, Ah Meow and Ah Ow did not hesitate. They turned around and began to run as fast as lightning!
Alas, they could not afford to offend them. The way the buffalo ran scared the little guys.
