Wandering in the world of martial arts

Chapter 9 Tree Climbing and Fishing

Wu Chen began to look for bark.

He needs that flexible bark to weave rope.

Fortunately, there are a lot of trees around here. After searching for a while, he found a kind of shrub, which is similar to the yellow hibiscus.

He pulled down some of these shrubs, tore off all the bark, and then slowly began to weave them.

In the end, a rough, round, small rope was braided.

With this newly made rope loop, Wu Chen went back under the coconut tree.

Looking up at the coconut tree, he pondered for a moment, instead of rushing up the tree, he turned around to make sure there was no one around before returning.

When climbing a tree, if someone comes over, he will not be able to get up or down, and the situation will be more dangerous, so we have to guard against it.

When he was ready, he began to climb the tree.

He folded the round rope loop in half from the middle to form a "8"-shaped rope loop, and then put his two feet into the two holes of the "8" shape, stretching it a little. for a moment.

Next, he hugged the tree trunk with both hands, and immediately attached the soles of his feet together, like an octopus. After taking a deep breath, he suddenly used both hands and feet at the same time, and jumped up!
It worked!
His stature suddenly jumped up a bit!
After jumping to the new position, he did not rush to climb, but took a short rest.

Anyone can climb a dwarf tree, but this is a coconut tree more than 20 meters high, so you must not take it lightly, if you fall down, you will be finished.

He is also now discovering the benefits of this tree climbing tool, and his feet are firmly planted.

In fact, this is a small principle in physics.

This rope loop increases the pressure and the roughness of the contact surface, which increases the friction, so that if you climb the tree again, it will be much more stable.

Of course, this rope loop is definitely not as good as those modern tree climbing tools, so climbing trees is still dangerous, so don't imitate it! ! !
After climbing like this for a while, he rested for a while, Wu Chen kept rising steadily, and after 2 minutes, he climbed to the upper part.

With one hand he grasped the huge stalk of the coconut tree for support, and with the other hand he reached out and, on the lowest leaf, grabbed the stalk of a coconut and twisted it hard.

With a "boom", the coconut fell off and hit the ground from a high altitude, making a heavy sound.

There were a total of eight coconuts on this section of leaf, and he wringed them all off one by one.

After finishing this section, he started to work on the second section. Until he also got the ten coconuts in the second section, his breathing was a little short and his physical strength was a little unable to keep up.

He didn't pick any more, and slowly climbed down.

In the process of climbing down, he took a sneak peek at the bottom, and the strange feeling of the drop made him dizzy, as if the whole person was about to fall, so scared that he quickly turned his head away, not daring to look again.

He exhaled a few big breaths to calm down the intensified heartbeat, but there was still a feeling of weakness all over his body. He hurriedly used all his strength to cling to the tree to prevent himself from falling, but his palms were already sweating.

That sudden look just now was too scary.

After this episode, he didn't dare to make any further complications.

He collected his mind and slowly climbed down. This time the whole process lasted about 5 minutes before he fell to the ground.

He wiped the sweat from his brow, half-sitting and leaning against the tree trunk, panting.

Really scared the baby!The next time I kill him, I won't look down from a high altitude!
However, seeing eighteen coconuts scattered on the ground, the feeling of dread in his heart suddenly eased a bit, and was replaced by a burst of joy.

With so many coconuts, it must be enough for today. He wrapped these coconuts in clothes and brought them back to the camp.

However, when he was about to start a fire and cook, he was a little unwilling.

He can certainly eat only coconut if he is just maintaining his basic dietary needs.

But now he is practicing "Food Ming Jing"!

This technique requires a lot of food, and the more varieties the better, if you only eat coconuts, it will undoubtedly delay the progress of this technique.

Wu Chen thought for a while, and suddenly came up with an idea.

His location is on the beach.

What food is most readily available on the coast?And the amount is still enough?
fish!
Definitely fish.

Fish has a lot of nutritional value, and there is another advantage of fish, there are more types.

In this way, the nutrients provided will be more abundant.

So, how to catch fish?

The spear held tightly in his hand, Wu Chen quickly had an idea.

Although it is said that the best way to fish is to use a harpoon with a pointed end, but he thinks he can do without, because he has inexplicable confidence in the spear in his hand.

Then there is no bait.

This, Wu Chen also has a plan.

Although he really doesn't want to bring up the past...

But, those bugs... Those bugs that people can't eat, fish don't pick them.

Wu Chen set out for the beach and began to search for all kinds of bugs on the beach, especially the shells dropped by bugs.

Generally speaking, if there are shells dropped by insects, there is likely to be that kind of insect nest nearby, and there are groups of insects. Once found, there will be no shortage of bait.

Today was pretty lucky, Wu Chen searched the beach for a while, and finally found a worm's burrow.

To be honest, seeing this kind of bug now, his face still hurts a little.

If it is not a last resort, he really does not want to have any contact with this thing.

But there is no way, for the sake of the fish, let’s go!
Suppressing his nausea, he grabbed a handful of these worms and stuffed them into a coconut shell. He came to a nearby shallow rock beach and put some worms in.

At the same time, he held the spear in both hands, chose an angle without interference from the reflection, and waited by the side, waiting intently.

Soon, a fish shadow swam over, and Wu Chen's hand holding the spear trembled slightly.

The moment Yuying started to eat insects, he heard a "swipe", and he shot, the long wooden spear pierced the hole like a ground snake, and shot down quickly!

There was a sound, and the waves splashed.

When Wu Chen took out the spear, the tip of the spear was still empty.

Missed?
The fish ran away in fright.

Wu Chen was immediately annoyed.

But he also found the problem.

Water has a refractive effect on sight.

When his spear thrust out, the position should still be very precise.

Because of that strange sense of familiarity, he was able to move the spear like a finger. Although the power has not changed, the accuracy has improved.

Then, as long as you keep adjusting the position of the stab, you should be able to catch it.

Wu Chen regrouped.

It failed the second time, but he also had a clearer feel for poking the spear in the water.

Finally, after the fourth time, after the spear was thrust out, he had the feeling that he had stabbed something, so he quickly poked it down again, and at the same time bent down to grab it with his hands!

With a "poof", a lively herring was brought out of the water, still beating the waves vigorously with its tail!

"Haha, I have fish to eat!"

Wu Chen laughed happily.

He didn't expect that a fish could make him so happy!
