Live Wilderness Challenge

"Yes, there are only a few large beasts in Shennongjia. Could it be the South China tiger?"

"It can't be the South China tiger. The news has already said that the South China tiger is extinct in the wild and only exists in zoos!"

Chen Xu squatted down and carefully looked at the shape of the footprints, but the shape was somewhat blurred due to the heavy rain.

But he still judged: "This may be the footprint of a black bear. The size of a black bear is much smaller than that of a brown bear, and it also uses its hind legs to exert strength, which is why it can leave such a deep pit."

"It seems that we have to be careful. This imprint reminds us that there may be black bear activities nearby. Let's go back to replenish energy first, and then think of a solution!"

After speaking, he returned to the campsite with a pack of fish and shrimp.

Chen Xu still used the old method. He found a dead tree bark, covered it with mud up and down, and made a simple oven.

Within 20 minutes, those small fish and shrimps were all ready.

Chen Xu took one bite at a time and finished eating them all in less than half a minute.

After filling his stomach, he began to think about the occurrence of black bears. "Theoretically speaking, with the current level of physical fitness of human beings, it is impossible to defeat large beasts with their bodies alone."

"If you encounter this situation in the wild, my advice to you is: outsmart, such as setting traps, or using poison!"

Chapter 267 Mandala

Chen Xu began to give an example: "For example, we can make an elastic sharp knife trap around the campsite, or protect ourselves, or force it away with poisonous arrows. This is one of the fastest methods."

"I know that there is a special plant in Shennongjia called datura, a herb native to Mexico, which is now widely distributed in temperate to tropical regions, mostly wild in fields, beside ditches, roadsides, river banks, hillsides, etc. Easy to find!"

With that said, he walked out of the campsite and ran to the river to look for it.

About 20 minutes later, on a hillside by the river valley, he found a green plant with a size of more than half a meter and two large leaves.

"This is datura. The whole plant is poisonous, and the seeds are the most poisonous. It contains a large amount of hyoscyamine, which can make people fall into strong hallucinations or faint. Symptoms appear within 20 minutes at the earliest. Because of its strong sedative effect, in Medically used for anesthesia."

While talking, Chen Xu pulled a leaf from the mandala, "It's just a small piece of mandala leaf. We smash it up and paint it on the wooden arrows. As long as it hits the black bear, it can make the arrows come out." It quickly fell into a coma."

Some viewers were shocked when they heard it:

"Fuck, I always thought that the mandala flower was made up by Mr. Jin Yong, so it really exists!"

"There seem to be a few in the garden of the community downstairs in our house. So this thing is so fierce?"

"Master Xu is humble, even if you don't need poison, you can still overwhelm the black bear!"

After finding the Datura leaves, Chen Xu returned to the campsite, carefully crushed them with stones, then found a branch, cut it into a long stem with an obsidian knife, sharpened the end, and smeared it with juice.

"With this thing, as long as we don't encounter too powerful beasts, we can deal with ordinary animals!"

Seeing the sharp wooden thorns, many viewers could not help but feel the chrysanthemum tighten subconsciously.

In the evening, Chen Xu began to try to use the mud by the river to make clay pots. He must have a container that can boil the river water. Otherwise, if he drank raw water from the wild for a long time, he would get diarrhea sooner or later.

But it was clear that luck wasn't always on his side, and this time the silt from the river wasn't as effective as the silt from the sea.

After he was half-dried in the sun, he tried to pinch it into long strips, but it always broke.

Chen Xu shook his head and gave up directly, "The soil quality of this river mud is too complicated, not as fine as sea mud, and it can't stick together. Let alone firing clay pots, it is very laborious to stick it into a shape."

"I have to find a way to find other water containers. In fact, as long as we are willing to use our brains, there will be many items that can replace clay pots in Shennongjia, such as bamboo. Mountain is not a wise choice, let's rest for one night and talk about it tomorrow!"

After chatting with the audience for another hour, he turned off the broadcast and took a rest.

Looking at the information in his live broadcast room, the number of followers has reached more than 400 million, and the number of online users has exceeded 320 million, but there is still a big gap between 350 million and [-] million.

The second night in the wild passed.

On the third day, the audience saw Master Xu's live broadcast room open early in the morning, and immediately clicked in.

In the picture, Master Xu is walking around the valley.

Seeing the audience slipping in, Chen Xu smiled slightly: "Good morning everyone, I am Chen Xu, today is the third day I have come to Shennongjia to survive, maybe I am lucky, the start was good, I found a stable place source of water, and established a bivouac near it."

"But I am currently facing several problems: there are black bears nearby, and I have no water container, no stable food source, you see, the effect of this mineral water bottle trap is only half of what it was yesterday, it is estimated that either these fish The prawns have become smarter, or the ones that are the right size are almost eaten by me."

Looking at the few small fish at the bottom of the bottle, he licked his lips, "After eating this meal, I have to change the trap to another place, but I can't just point at this survival, I still have to find a way to find other fish today. food."

Back at the campsite, spend 20 minutes steaming the small fish and eating them.

Although it can't completely fill the stomach, it can at least temporarily relieve the hunger in the stomach. "Today, our main goal is to find bamboo and food, and the secondary goal is to search for supplies."

After speaking, Chen Xu simply packed up his things, and then started to head towards the mountains.

The vegetation on the mountainside is still dominated by large deciduous trees, supplemented by low shrubs, and the ground is full of stones and weeds.

Sometimes, he would encounter nuts all over the ground, and many viewers wondered why Master Xu didn't collect them and eat them.

Chen Xu explained: "Most of these nuts are the capes that fall from the cork oak tree, and some are wild chestnuts that fall from the chestnut tree. They have very high starch content, fat, and sugar. , it is a good food source."

"But it's March now. Whether it's cork oak or chestnut, the latest fruit ripening period is in October. Five months later, in such a humid and hot environment, these nuts have long since deteriorated."

"Regardless of whether eating them will cause diarrhea or not, I have also emphasized to everyone before that spoiled food contains a lot of aflatoxin, which is very toxic and very harmful to human organs, so please don't eat it indiscriminately. .”

Just as he was speaking, suddenly, a severe tingling pain came from his foot.

Chen Xu lowered his head and saw that there were a few small dark brown bugs that crawled to his feet along the gaps in his sandals and took a bite.

It's ants!

Looking again, he didn't know when he stepped on the marching route of an "ant army".

The number of this "ant army" is very large. Looking around, it is densely packed, all of which are dark brown ants. The entire army is seven or eight centimeters wide and two or three meters long. There are at least hundreds of them!

Chen Xu hastily retreated a few steps to avoid the crawling route of the ants, then quickly picked up a dead leaf and drove the ants away from his feet.

Some viewers saw this scene and immediately mocked:

"Master Xu, it's just a few ants, one step on them will kill you!"

"Yeah, we can't beat brown bears and cheetahs, and we can't crush a few ants to death!"

"How could Master Xu be cowardly? I remember he once said that ants are one of the most terrifying things in the jungle!"

"Yes, yes, yes, I remember that there are desert army ants in "The Ancient City of Jingjue". It's very scary!"

Chen Xu looked at the barrage and said with a serious face: "It seems that some viewers still remember my reminder, yes, ants are almost one of the most destructive species in the jungle, and there are a lot of them, we must avoid."

Chapter 268 Fighting ants among ants

"For example, the army ants you mentioned generally have 200 million in a group, and you can eat wherever you go. Although it is not as exaggerated as in film and television literature, as long as you are entangled by ant colonies, you will definitely be bitten and bruised. The pain is absolutely unimaginable!"

"And the ant that bit me just now is also very scary!"

While speaking, Chen Xu carefully picked one out of the ant colony with a leaf, and displayed it under the camera of the drone.

Under the focus of the camera, the audience can clearly see a brown-black ant with a strong body and two long antennae. giant jaw.

And the two jaws each have a sharp spike.

"This is a large-toothed ant, which is distributed all over the country and is very aggressive. It can be said to be the fastest attacking animal on earth. It can bite its prey with its mouth closed within 0.13 milliseconds, 2300 times faster than humans blink. If converted into running speed, its speed is equivalent to 125-233 kilometers per hour."

"The giant-toothed ant is not only extremely fast, but also has a very strong bite force. Although its weight is only 12.1-14.9 mg, the bite force of these ants' upper and lower jaws can reach 300 times their body weight every time they close their mouths."

"Not only that, but its mouth and jaw also contain strong irritating toxins, which can cause severe pain, redness and swelling. In addition to bacterial infection, it is very scary. If I didn't withdraw from their crawling range in time, it might only take a dozen seconds , I don’t want to walk with this foot today!”

Some viewers stared:

"Nimma, is this little ant so awesome?"

"I really don't know if I don't hear it, I'm shocked when I hear it!"

"This is simply a fighting ant among ants, it's not easy to mess with!"

"Big-toothed ant: What should I do, Lord Xu is looking at me, I'm so good!"

Chen Xu looked at the walking route of the big-toothed ants, and said: "The big-toothed ants are sedentary ants, and generally seldom migrate. If they move out on such a large scale, either their homes are destroyed, or there is something in front of them." Attract them!"

With that said, he walked in the direction the ants were heading.

After about tens of meters, he smelled a bit of blood.

Sure enough, there was a brown animal corpse on the ground in front of him.

Chen Xu leaned over and saw that it was an adult brown antelope.

The entire antelope carcass has been eaten up, leaving only a head, a piece of skin, a whole skeleton, and blood all over the ground.

"It's no wonder that this group of big-toothed ants are attracted. It turns out that there is food. The flesh and blood left on this skeleton is still fresh. It should have been hunted last night."

"In Shennongjia, there are only two creatures of the size and speed capable of hunting antelopes, the Asian golden cat and the leopard, both of which are quite lethal medium-sized cats. It seems that we have to be careful! "

After speaking, he took out the obsidian knife. Although the antelope's body had no flesh left, the skin was very useful to him.

For Chen Xu who has nothing, a piece of antelope skin is probably a piece of clothing or a backpack.

But he didn't plan to carry it, it would be too troublesome without a backpack.

Just cut it off and hang it on the tree first, so as not to let the ants destroy it. When he comes back from the mountain, he can naturally take it back along the way.

Walked forward for more than an hour.

Chen Xu finally found a green bamboo forest on the mountain ahead.

These bamboos are generally 20 to [-] meters high, and the thickest is close to [-] centimeters.

Chen Xu looked happy, "I found it. It is Moso bamboo, one of the two most widely distributed bamboos in Shennongjia. It is not only tough, but also one of the important sources of spring bamboo shoots."

As he spoke, he found spring bamboo shoots in the bamboo forest.

The spring bamboo shoots of moso bamboo are about 20 centimeters high, forming an irregular cone, covered with a thick black skin.

"Moso bamboo belongs to sweet bamboo shoots. Its winter bamboo shoots are known as 'the best bamboo shoots in the world', which is enough to show how delicious it is, and its spring bamboo shoots are equally delicious."

Chen Xu explained something to the camera, and immediately picked up the stone ax and chopped it down on the moso bamboo shoots.

After a few blows, the outer skin of the bamboo shoots broke open, revealing a piece of crystal clear jade-like bamboo shoots inside.

He immediately tore off the skin, pulled out the spring bamboo shoots, and bit into it.

The fresh and tender moso bamboo shoots "creaked" and "creaked" between his teeth. Just by listening to the sound, he could tell how crisp and tender it was, and it was accompanied by streams of bamboo shoot juice, which was extremely delicious!

Chen Xu kept nodding his head, "As expected of bamboo shoots, they are very fresh and tender, with a water content of at least 80.00% five, which can fully replenish the body's water."

"Moreover, its protein content is very high, twice that of pork, and it is also rich in various nutrients necessary for the human body. It can be said to be one of the most ideal food sources in the wild!"

During the time he spoke, he ate a whole bamboo shoot into his stomach, which just filled up the energy consumed by the journey.

"The rest I have to take home and steam them. Although the spring bamboo shoots of Moso bamboo are non-toxic, they contain a lot of soluble calcium oxalate and a lot of crude cellulose, which are not easy to digest and can easily cause intestinal diseases. "

Many viewers saw Master Xu taking a mouthful of spring bamboo shoots, with the juicy appearance, and expressed their desire to eat bamboo shoots.

It is a pity that the spring bamboo shoots of moso bamboo are mature in April, and the bamboo shoots that grow now are very limited, only a few.

But it was rare for Chen Xu to find such delicious and nutritious food, so of course he would not let it go easily.

After more than half an hour, he pulled out all the spring bamboo shoots that were left in a small piece nearby.

Then, he started today's search target, cutting down bamboo.

Because his temporary stone ax had limited power, he either looked for young bamboos or old bamboos that were about to wither.

After a while, he finally found an old yellowed bamboo nearby, the roots of which had begun to rot.

He only used a few axes to chop down this big bamboo that was more than ten meters high.

After landing, because it was too long, he cut off the thin and brittle part of the upper end, which made it much easier to pick up.

And just as Chen Xu was dragging the moso bamboo in one hand and preparing to go down the mountain with a stone ax in the other.

Not far away, on the other side of the bamboo forest, there were a few sounds.

He raised his eyebrows and walked slowly following the sound.

In the bamboo forest, there are often bamboo rats, which are very delicious animals.

And just as Chen Xu walked around the bamboo forest, he finally found the source of the movement.

Immediately stare:

Nima, what kind of bamboo rat is this? This is a huge white bear that is hundreds of times bigger than the bamboo rat!
