    Poison dart frog is not actually the name of a poisonous frog, but a collective name for all poisonous frogs. Basically, all the brightly colored and highly poisonous frogs in the Amazon rainforest are called poison dart frogs, and the problem lies in  here.

    Not all poisonous frogs are fatally toxic, and the sources of toxicity are also different. Some poisonous frogs get their toxins from themselves, while some poisonous frogs get their poison from insects that eat poisonous plants.  Those insects then accumulate the toxins in the insects' bodies and transform them into their own defense weapons. Therefore, some poison dart frogs raised by humans are completely non-toxic.

    Due to the characteristics of poison dart frogs, the toxins provided by poison dart frogs are not reliable. Sometimes only a very small amount of toxin may be needed to kill the prey quickly, and sometimes, although the poison arrow used may hit the prey, the prey may not be able to survive.  But nothing happened.

    Of course, the South American Indians have been dealing with these poison dart frogs all year round and must have rich experience. As long as they are not a novice, they should know which poison frog venom can be used to make curares and which ones cannot. There are indeed many primitive  There are tribes that specialize in using the poison of poison dart frogs for hunting, but there are very few such tribes, far less than the tribes that use plant-based curares. The reason is still very simple, because the poison of poison dart frogs is not only more harmful to prey.  Fatal and more dangerous to the user.

    Commonly used plant-based curares are used to suffocate prey, while most of the toxins in poison dart frogs are neurotoxins, which means that the victim cannot be saved. This is similar to the toxins extracted from beetle larvae that Gao Yang used in Africa.  , however, the toxin of the poison dart frog kills its prey countless times faster than the toxin Gao Yang used.

    You often walk by the river without getting your shoes wet. For those hunters, it is difficult to avoid being accidentally stung by their own poisonous arrows. If the toxin of the extremely poisonous poison arrow frog is used, the toxin will be  A prick from one's own arrow would mean certain death, and using those less toxic dart frog toxins, it would be better to use curare extracted from plants.

    Researchers around the world have done a lot of research on poison dart frogs, and Gao Yang¡¯s knowledge about poison dart frogs came from a documentary. Based on his understanding of poison dart frogs, this is the most toxic poison in the world.  The frog is in Colombia, a kind of poison dart frog called Coco's frog. The poison of this poison dart frog only needs 0.0003 grams to kill a strong man. The fastest known poison dart frog kill is four times.  seconds, and there is no conclusive evidence to support this record.

    Although the poison dart frog is extremely poisonous and kills people very quickly, even if it can kill a person within two seconds, it is impossible for a person to not even have a chance to shout in two seconds.

    It¡¯s not that Gao Yang didn¡¯t believe Lucika¡¯s words, he was just confused, so after asking Lucica, he hoped to get the answer.

    The answer given by Lucica did not disappoint Gao Yang. After smiling and saying an Indian word, Lucica continued: "I am talking about the name of a tribe. Now this tribe has basically died out, because  The people of this tribe have accepted modern civilization and they no longer exist as a tribe."

    After Lucy paused, she said: "I know many people in this tribe. One person told me that there is an old man in their tribe who can make a kind of curare poison, which is the toxin of two poison dart frogs.  They would not use it when hunting, but would use it specifically when fighting other tribes. Now one of the poisonous frogs is no longer seen, and there are very few people who can make this kind of curare.  , However, there are still remnants of this curare, and I have it now."

    Gao Yang became interested immediately, and he said excitedly: "You actually have such a thing? Great, how is the effect?"

    Lucica whispered: "The people of that tribe will use this kind of curare poison when attacking the enemy. According to people I know, people who are hit by poisonous arrows will die before they open their mouths but make no sound, so  They call this curare poison."

    Gao Yang immediately said: "Is the effect really that exaggerated? You know, we can't conduct experiments on a living person, and we can't verify the effect of the toxin you mentioned before taking action."

    After Lucica was silent for a moment, she nodded and said: "I have seen the effect of curare poison. Apply curare poison to the blow dart, and the person who is hit by the blow dart will die immediately and silently."

    Gao Yang chose to believe Lucika, and he said excitedly: "Very good, if we have this thing, our actions will become a lot easier. I'm curious how you got this."

    Lucica looked at Bruce, then bit her lip and said: "The relic left by my ex-husband to me, he is from that tribe, the curare was passed on to him by his father, and it will belong to me after he dies.  "

      Gao Yang immediately said apologetically: "Sorry, I'm sorry."

    Bruce patted Lucica on the shoulder, and then wanted to take Lucica into his arms. Unfortunately, Lucica didn't know whether it was because of embarrassment or something, but she pushed Bruce's arm around her away, and then  He said calmly: "There's nothing to be sorry for, it's all over."

    Gao Yang cleared his throat and said: "So, silent weapons are now available. I can use a bow and arrow. I will just make a simple bow and arrow myself later. Lucica can use a blow dart. Okay, now let's talk  What other equipment do you need, especially Lucica? What guns are you good at or like? Besides, I can't find the same equipment for you as us now, so you can only use the equipment you can find now."

    Lucica frowned and said: "I have always used the M16 rifle. For the others, I know how to use the AK47. I also know how to use the pistol, but I have never shot it. As for the other equipment, I don't know what you mean.  What are they? I don¡¯t know how to use those things you brought, night vision devices and the like.¡±

    Gao Yang suddenly thought of a very serious question, and he immediately said urgently: "Lucica, are you literate?"

    The expression on Lucica's face was a little unnatural, and she said: "I have been in the guerrilla camp of Parano since I was born. I never went to school, so I can't read. However, if it is English, I can read.  I can speak and write, as my mother taught me, but I don¡¯t have much vocabulary to read and write.¡±

    Gao Yang took a breath and said with a smile: "Please, it's not just knowing Spanish that counts as literacy. Spanish doesn't matter, as long as you can understand English, fine, you just need to be literate. You can learn other things you don't know, but  It will be troublesome to learn to read from scratch, but I have to tell you now, you still have a lot to learn, a lot, but for now, you just need to deal with the things in front of you."
