Live Wilderness Challenge

The rest of the place is all light green, which means: all trees.

After Chen Xu looked at the map, he pursed his lips, "The distance of 300 kilometers is a very difficult distance to walk. As I said before during the live broadcast of the Matterhorn Snow Mountain, the speed of a person on a flat road is about 5 kilometers per day. 6-[-] kilometers per hour."

"As for the speed of driving on the mountain road, depending on the density of the jungle, it is about 3-5 kilometers per hour. With the terrain of Guatemala, I estimate that we can walk 35 kilometers a day, which is almost the limit. Therefore, we will definitely not be able to keep on time if we drive normally. achieve."

"I don't know if you have seen this swamp. This is a piece of information accidentally exposed by the program group. The scale of the map, our starting point and the end point are only half the size of a little finger, and this swamp is full of a thumb." the size of."

"For such a large swamp, there must be a sufficient river for irrigation. Our goal is this river. As long as we can find it, we can reach at least 20 kilometers per hour by water!"

After speaking, he walked south according to the direction pointed by the sun.

Guatemala's pristine rainforest is one of the least explored places in the world. It is completely separate from Guatemala's National Forest Park.

Therefore, the clumps here are extremely dense and overgrown with vines.

Chen Xu had to pull out the machete from his waist.

This matte black large dog-leg shaped machete is exactly the purple rare item he bought from the black market.

Chapter 3 Are you going to get first blood?

Many viewers' eyes lit up when they saw this knife.

In the impression of many people, Master Xu has always lived and survived with an outdoor dagger.

What impressed me the most was the handsome harpoon!

But at this moment, this big dog-legged machete simply blinded their dog's eyes.

"Fuck, the legendary black dragon Nepal?"

"666, capture a cross-fire dog alive!"

"It's the first time I've seen such a handsome machete, the slasher comes with a pretentious BUFF!"

"This knife is so handsome, who knows if Amazon sells it, please ask for the same style!"

Chen Xu looked at the barrage and explained: "The machete is one of the necessary practical items for crossing the jungle. It is a short and medium straight knife. It is mainly used to cut vines, shrubs and other vegetation to open up the way forward. This one is for the North American military. The machete is heavy, long, and the center of gravity is in the front, which is suitable for chopping, and in order to increase chopping efficiency, the blade is generally thinner, with a thickness of about 2 to 3mm."

While speaking, he happened to chop a vine in front of him with his knife.

This banyan vine is about the thickness of a baby's arm, and under normal circumstances, it cannot be broken by manpower alone.

But this machete only made a "buzz", and with a flash of the blade, the vine was split in half.

And Chen Xu just walked in so directly and easily.

If he didn't have a machete, he would have to climb over the vines. Once or twice might be fine, but if he encounters it too many times, he will waste a lot of energy and time invisibly.

As he moved forward, the two drones switched cameras from time to time to take multi-faceted shots from different angles.

All of this is 50 kilometers away, in the base vehicle by the rainforest, the camera director Simon operates.

The effective signal of the drone is very wide, but the program team decided to follow Chen Xu all the way out of consideration for Chen Xu's safety.

All emergency medical items are prepared in the car to deal with any dangerous situation that may arise at any time.

Although Guatemala and Xishuangbanna are both tropical rainforests, there are still many differences.

The most obvious point is that the rainforest trees here are even bigger, and the overwhelming canopy covers most of the sun.

There are cluttered rocks here, and there are leg-high weeds everywhere, and those arm-thick vines, like tangled wires, extend from all directions, interspersed in the rainforest, intricate, but natural.

"Although the jungle blocks most of the sunlight, I have to say that this place is like a big steam oven, with a high temperature of at least 40 degrees. The most terrible thing is the air here, which has a humidity close to 90.00% nine."

"As you can see on my body, most of my shirts are completely soaked. It doesn't give me any hydration, but it keeps sucking them out. If I'm driving on flat roads, it will only be 100% per hour. Lose [-]ml of water, and in Guatemala, that number increases fivefold!"

Chen Xu grinned and observed the surrounding environment:

"If this continues, I don't think I can last long! Many people know that if you don't drink water for three days, you will die, and if you don't eat for two weeks, your body will be disabled."

"But let me tell you one more thing. In the rainforest with such high humidity, you will be moderately dehydrated for just one day. If you don't eat for three days, you will be so weak that you don't even have the strength to walk."

"Our primary goal now is to find a source of flowing water supply, so we must go as low as possible on the premise of the direction of the end point!"

After speaking, he walked along the jungle while looking for the location of the riverbed and valley.

After about an hour.

Chen Xu came to a dense bush.

For this reason, he specially reminded, "In the wild, especially in the tropical rainforest, we should minimize the frequency of entering the dense jungle. If we have to enter, we must be careful and carefully observe the surroundings."

"Guatemala has the highest species density in the world. There are countless poisonous snakes and insects here. Look at the blue-black spotted frog on the branch inside."

During the speech, the audience had already seen the frog that Master Xu was referring to through the close-up of the camera.

This frog is very small, only about a few centimeters at most, if it weren't for the colorful rainbow-like markings on its body, and Master Xu pointing it out, some people would not have noticed it.

"What a beautiful frog!"

"Your friend: The Frog Prince is online!"

"Is this the rhythm of getting first blood, Master Xu will eat him soon!"

Chen Xu looked at the barrage, shook his head, and explained seriously: "This miniature frog cannot be eaten, because it is the famous poison dart frog in Central America."

"The poison dart frog is known as the most beautiful frog in the world, and it is also one of the most poisonous species on the earth. Don't look at it's small size, the poison of its venom once released is enough to kill ten human beings!"

"In 13, a pair of British adventurers explored in the Costa Rica rainforest in Central America, and accidentally bumped into this tiny creature while passing through a dense jungle."

"In just ten seconds, the explorer's back of his hand was red and swollen, accompanied by intense burning pain. More than half an hour later, he left his life forever in the rainforest!"

"Facts have proved that the poison of the poison dart frog can be secreted through its skin glands, and can easily penetrate human skin and enter the blood!"

After hearing Master Xu's explanation, the audience understood the horror of the poison dart frog.

When they looked at the cobalt blue striped frog again, they couldn't help but feel a little more awe.

"It's a pity that the poison dart frogs don't have claws on their feet, so they can't survive in the water. This means that there is no water source nearby, so we have to find another way!"

In the process of explaining, Chen Xu was also somewhat thankful that his observations were more detailed.

Otherwise, if you accidentally encounter a poison dart frog, your fate will never be much better than that of Wright who was bitten by a spearhead.

Unless, the single attribute of his constitution can be increased to more than 100 points, maybe the resistance will be almost invulnerable by then.

However, this is still a dream after all.

Bypass the dense jungle.

Chen Xu unbuttoned his neck, and used the cuff of his shirt to wipe off the drops of sweat mixed with moisture from his forehead.

It can be said that his current appearance is no different from that just after taking a shower.

And most of the water-blue sweat-absorbing shirt on his body has long been stained dark blue by sweat.

Although it looked like his skin was wet, in fact, he already felt a little thirsty.

And at this moment, a vine in front of him attracted him!

Chapter 3 and Three are about to be happy, Kazkaz!

Chen Xu looked at the vines in front of him excitedly, and quickly ran over!

Different from the general emerald green vines, the surface of these vines looks very rough, and the roots are extremely thick, almost comparable to some small trees.

They are rooted in bundles next to the trunks of large trees in the rainforest and cling to the branches.

"It seems that I am lucky. These vines are called water vines. They are a kind of palm plant. They are very tough. They are somewhat similar to the jungle strangler. They will cling to the roots of the trees, compete for water and nutrients, and slowly kill the big trees. .”

"Look at its thick rhizome. It's like a thick water pipe. It should have absorbed a lot of water, and it's all filtered through the soil and rhizome. It's very clean and can be drunk directly!"

As he spoke, Chen Xu picked up the machete and chopped off the root of the water vine.

Then, he hurriedly grasped the incision with both hands, aimed at his own mouth, and opened his mouth to continue.

In just five or six seconds, a stream of clear water flowed out from the cut of the vine.

Chen Xu is like a sponge that absorbs water. He keeps drinking with his mouth one mouthful at a time. While drinking, he makes an extremely comfortable sound. It seems that he must have been thirsty for a long time.

"Well...it feels so good to drink water again. The plant water in the water vine is no different from ordinary tap water, but it has a faint woody smell!"

Many viewers showed evil smiles when they saw this scene:

"I don't know why, but when I saw Lord Xu holding the vine to drink water, I was shamefully hardened!"

"Shuiteng: ah~~~, one library, one library!"

"It's so cute to see the host drinking water, I really like Chinese people!"

"The anchor is so sexy, I can't hold it anymore!"

Many foreign women looked at Master Xu with sweat on his face. The neckline that was unbuttoned due to the heat was a metaphor for the pectoral muscles exposed, and the forearm with the scar of wolf claws that was just rolled up two cuffs was full of wildness, even Sexier than many foreign tough guy stars.

After drinking the water, Chen Xu wiped his mouth and continued on his way.

Along the way, he encountered many thorny plants. "These plants have evolved hard thorns in a certain ecological environment. The purpose is to reduce the risk of being eaten by herbivores. We must be careful of these sharp thorns. Because some of them are highly poisonous."

After walking for more than half an hour, several short and thick trees with long leaves in the shape of huge flower clusters appeared in front of them.

Chen Xu's expression brightened: "It seems that we will have food!"

He walked to the side of these few dwarf trees with small steps.

"This is called American cycad, which is widely distributed in Central America. It is a kind of cycad family. Because of its high wood density, it sinks in water and is as heavy as iron, so it is also called iron tree. It is one of the famous ornamental tree species, because At the top of its canopy, there will be a beautiful flower, which is known as 'Iron Tree Blossom'!"

"Moreover, cycads are also one of the important food sources for ancient American tribes. Because its stems are rich in starch and can be eaten, many tribes will split it open, dig out the core inside, filter the sediment, and make cycads. All kinds of food."

"However, with a machete like mine and without an axe, it is difficult to chop the dense and hard cycads. However, their nutrient-rich trunks can easily attract a large number of polyphagous insects."

After explaining to the audience, Chen Xu had already started to search around this cycad.

Finally, he found a black beetle on one of the cycad trees.

This beetle is very large, four to five centimeters long and two to three centimeters wide. Its body is oblong and covered with a bright black carapace. Its head has a huge sharp horn, which looks mighty.

Many viewers were stunned, what a handsome insect!

Chen Xu grabbed it and handed it to the camera of the drone, letting the audience see clearly, "This is it. The rhinoceros beetle, also known as the one-horned beetle, is a polyphagous insect that is widely distributed in subtropical, Tropics."

"Like the worms in the rotting wood I ate before, they are their larvae, and now it's the season for them to become adults. A large number of one-horned beetles inhabit the trunk, constantly sucking the nutrient-rich trunk sap."

"Did you see his mouthparts, like two small shovels, this kind of mouthparts can easily break through any bark, and its strength is not small, I can clearly feel it struggling madly, in the wild, Before you get better food, this insect is your best source of protein and energy!"

In the next second, before the audience could react, Chen Xu threw the whole one-horned beetle into his mouth.

Bite down, the carapace was crushed by the teeth, with a crisp sound of "click", "click".

"Fuck, the voice is so crisp?"

"Your friend: Miao Crispy Corner is now online!"

"After waiting for a long time, Master Xu finally got the first blood!"

"I thought of a slogan: Happy, Kazkaz!"

Chen Xu chewed the beetle, and his whole face turned green. "It's very brittle. After biting it open, there is a lot of viscous liquid inside. To be honest, the taste is not very good, and its hard horns are a bit tongue-tying."

The audience laughed, and couldn't help being mesmerized by Master Xu's cute expression.

Some people even asked, if the hard corners are not digested well, will the chrysanthemum be scratched when it is pulled out.

He swallowed the whole one-horned beetle speechlessly.

"Although it is unpalatable, a beetle of this size will provide me with at least 300 calories of energy and sufficient protein. I will catch the remaining ones and throw them into my bag to raise them until I light a fire at night. It's time to bake and eat!"

So, Chen Xu caught a few more cycads and threw them all into his backpack.

After all this work, it was noon.

At this time, he finally found a mountain.

"See that mountain in the distance? Maybe if I climb over it, I can find the river along the hillside!"

With power, Chen Xu even walked much faster. Of course, this was also because of the energy and water supplements from the water vine and the one-horned beetle.

Along the way, the machete made a great contribution.

Because its shape design is head-heavy and tail-light, the blade is thin, which is very convenient for chopping, and it doesn't take much effort.
