Live Wilderness Challenge

Chapter 323 Freshwater Monster

I have to say that the room Chen Xu used was almost beautiful.

Otherwise, if roasting hares in such a primitive rainforest is not covered by the strong smell of ant nests, it will not take long to attract many carnivores.

Don't forget that Guatemala's biological density is the highest in the world.

All of a sudden, many bullet screens used the phrase "Xu fake tiger's might" to mock Master Xu.

Chen Xu didn't care that much, just smiled, took the fire from his body, used the surrounding branches and dead leaves to set up a small fire, and then started to deal with the hare.

The hare in front of me, because the fur is covered with the gastric juice of the Burmese python, the viscous green liquid is disgusting to look at, and it can be included in Xu Ye's annual list of the most disgusting foods.

Maybe it was because he was hungry all morning, but he never got tired of explaining it himself.

Skinned, gutted, and branches were found.

After roasting for 10 minutes, Chen Xu took a bite of the crispy outside and tender inside. It was so satisfying.

After eating a whole fat hare, he found some hay and palm leaves to spread on the ground, and then leaned against the trunk of the tree to enjoy the shade leisurely.

At 02:30 in the afternoon, he continued to return to the raft on the river bank and continued on his way.

In the middle and lower reaches, the river began to bend.

"The river has started to turn and bend. From just now until now, I have turned five or six turns. In this case, you have to consider calculating it, because these turns will make your straight-line distance invisible. , as much as three times longer."

"However, fortunately, the flow of the river is not slow. After conversion, it is still faster than going by land, so we can continue to paddle."

After another two hours, the river continued to widen, and the rainforest land on both sides began to recede.

He came to a vast expanse of water, so big that he could barely see the green land around him.

The open water area lacks the threatening humidity of jungles and swamps, and it is almost evening, so the air is a little more refreshing.

While paddling the raft, Chen Xu carefully looked around: "It seems that I should have completed half of the journey, and I will soon start approaching the location of my first challenge, the crocodile habitat!"

"That's right, this kind of huge expanse of water is exactly where crocodiles like to stay. Of course, we can't see them yet, and they will come out to look for food after dusk, but I can feel that the water under this lake , absolutely not calm!"

"The rivers of Guatemala's pristine wetlands are the perfect habitat for many carnivorous freshwater monsters, including gars, piranhas, large piranhas, anacondas and, most fearsome of all, giant predators: the American crocodile! "

"The American crocodile, one of the most widely distributed large crocodiles in Central and South America, often inhabits large freshwater lakes, or mangroves and swamps at the junction of brackish and fresh water. They can grow up to six meters long and weigh as high as It reaches a terrifying [-] kilograms and feeds on large fish, so it is a well-deserved super monster!"

More than 900 kilograms?

When the audience heard this figure that weighed nearly one ton, they didn't even dare to imagine it in their minds.

Oh my god, how big does this fucking grow?

Such a heavy crocodile can kill people with one tail, right?

Chen Xu couldn't help but think of a friend in his last life who came to explore South America, "I once heard a sensational story from a friend. When he was 13 years old, he went to explore the virgin rainforest of Central America with an expedition team. While passing through a jungle swamp, I was suddenly attacked by an American alligator."

"The American alligator jumped out of the water without warning, with a huge body, jumped into the air, and bit the head of one of the expedition men, with a huge mouth, sharp teeth, terrifying The bite force directly crushed his skull and jaw."

"At that time, my friend saw with his own eyes that his companion's head was bitten by an American crocodile, and the blood mist sprayed out from the air and splashed on everyone's faces. This horrible scene made him unforgettable for the rest of his life!"

"And it is said that the size of that American alligator is about twice the size of my raft!"

The audience looked at Master Xu's raft, which was more than two meters long and nearly one meter wide.

Then I fantasized about American alligators.

Suddenly feel shuddering!

The biology research professors grinned when they heard this.

Not to mention, this anchor is not only rich in knowledge, but most importantly, he knows how to use true and cruel stories to attract attention, interact with the audience, and fully mobilize people's curiosity and enthusiasm.

Make the boring biological knowledge vivid and interesting.

I have to say that just for this point alone, he is much better than many rigid professors who follow the script!

Afterwards, Chen Xu frowned again, and said with a smile: "Fortunately, the task given to me by the program team this time is not to hunt American crocodiles, but a Morilei crocodile, also known as Mexican crocodile and Guatemalan crocodile. It is a small crocodile with a maximum length of no more than three meters."

"However, they have the habit of living in groups, and their bite force is amazing. Adult Morelei crocodiles can even hunt large vertebrates including antelope, buffalo, and young hippopotamus alone in the water, while five Morelei crocodiles can only hunt large vertebrates in the water. It takes 20 seconds to eat a full-grown buffalo, which is terrifying!"

"So, before I decide to hunt them down, I have to make a detailed plan. Now, it's getting close to evening. We need to get to land as soon as possible and find a place to live tonight!"

After speaking, he rowed the raft and approached the distant jungle shore.

Ten minutes later, Chen Xu came to the jungle.

And at this moment, a huge black figure in front of him attracted his attention.

He groped quietly at once.

After approaching within 20 meters, he finally saw clearly that it was a black shack made of dead wood.

Relics of human civilization?

The audience was taken aback.

Chen Xu walked over, observed for a while, and finally analyzed: "This is indeed from the hands of human civilization. There is absolutely no creature in the animal world that can build such a shack with a modern architectural structure."

"However, judging from the degree of decay of the wood, this shack has been around for quite a long time. If my guess is correct, it should have been built by the primitive tribes when they were hunting and resting at night."

While talking, he searched around the shack.

At this time, a black "thin stick" among the rotten dead leaves attracted him!

Chen Xu picked up the black "thin stick".

Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be an iron rod, and one end was artificially sharpened. "I didn't expect that this primitive tribe would still use iron."

Chapter 324 Professional Shrimp Insertion for 30 Years

"The reason why I say this is because the Indians in the American continent did not have iron civilization. This has a lot to do with resources and terrain. On the American continent with many mountains, jungles, and rivers, primitive tribes cannot use wheels. Iron ore resources are even more pitiful, so canoes and stone tools are generally used.”

"It seems that this indigenous tribe should have had contact with civilized society, learned the technology of iron smelting, or bought ironware directly. If my guess is correct, this should be something similar to a harpoon. Let's take it with us first. , it might be useful!"

After speaking, Chen Xu stuffed the simple black iron fork into his backpack.

Then, looking at the campsite, he shook his head and said, "Although there are ready-made huts, the wood on them has rotted and covered with moss. We can't live in such insecure huts, so we still have to build a new one! "

That primitive tribe was very good at choosing places. The terrain here is open and the terrain is high. Even if it rains, there will be no water accumulation.

Therefore, Chen Xu simply built another one next to this old shack.

Half an hour later, not only was the hut up, but even the fire was lit.

After finishing his work, he glanced at the sky.

The hateful thing is that the sun is covered by a dark cloud, making it impossible to guess the exact time.

"It's cumulonimbus, it's probably going to rain tonight, we have to hurry up and find something to eat!"

After quickly packing his things, Chen Xu went deep into the jungle again.

After searching for a long time, there was a sound of running water in front of him. He walked over and saw that it was a clear stream.

"Great, water means there is food, and it's before the rainstorm. I told you in the live broadcast before that before the rain, the atmospheric pressure is much lower than usual, and some fish and shrimp will actively surface to breathe. Fresh oxygen, so easy to catch them!"

He smiled slightly at the camera, "Exactly, I just picked up a simple harpoon from a primitive tribe. In the creek, this thing is much easier to use than a machete!"

So, he untied his backpack, took off his shoes, and walked into the stream with only a fishbone in his hand.

Many viewers were puzzled when they saw Master Xu take off his shoes.

Not only this time, since he came to Guatemala, he would take off his shoes almost every time before going into the water, including the last time he went into the water to find a trap.

"Why does Lord Xu always take off his shoes during this live broadcast?"

"Master Xu probably wants to use his stinky feet as a biochemical weapon to anesthetize the fish and shrimp in the stream!"

"Master Xu: taste me!"

Chen Xu was speechless when he saw the barrage of taunts all over the screen:

"Don't make random guesses. The reason why I took off my shoes is very simple. It is because the environment in the rainforest is extremely humid and hot, and the air in the shoes is not easy to circulate. If it is too humid, it is easy to breed bacteria, inflammation and fester. This is why the tropical primitive tribes One of the reasons people don't wear shoes."

After hearing this, the audience expressed that they really raised their posture this time.

In fact, it’s right to think about it. Although the civilization of the primitive aborigines is backward, it is not so low that they can’t even make a pair of shoes. They still choose not to wear shoes, and they must have their own reasons.

The water level of the creek is not high, basically only reaching half of Chen Xu's calf, and the water quality is very clear, and one can see the bottom of the creek at a glance, so it is easy to see if there are any fish and shrimps around.

At this moment, a black crustacean slowly swam in front of him.

The audience took a closer look and saw that it was a blue-black freshwater crayfish, and it was not small, at least seven or eight centimeters long.

Chen Xu raised his fingers and gave a "shh" to the camera, and then holding the iron spikes in both hands, he slammed into the black figure.

Because the water level of the creek is very shallow, the influence of refraction is not great, and the sharpness of the iron fork is much sharper than that of ordinary branch harpoons, so he hit it with one blow.

"Hey, it looks like we're lucky tonight!"

He lifted the iron fork, pulled out the crawfish, and threw it directly onto the shore.

Because the iron fork hit the crawfish's head directly, directly destroying its internal organs, it struggled a few times on the mud floor and stopped moving.

"2333, Lord Xu angrily inserted Pipi shrimp!"

"I feel that Master Xu's posture is very similar to the young Runtu!"

"Grandpa Xu: I have been professionally planting shrimp for 30 years, and the Pippi shrimp that have been inserted together can circle the earth!"

Chen Xu was lucky.

Twenty minutes later, he had hit three crayfish and a small fish.

And at this time, little ripples began to appear on the creek, including himself, who also felt water droplets hitting his body.

"It's starting to rain, we should go back!"

Afterwards, he went ashore, put on his shoes, threw all the fish and shrimp he had caught into his backpack, and began to return to the campsite.

On the way back, he found a round fruit like an Elizabeth melon on the nearby jungle.

It's just that this fruit is much bigger than it, and the outer skin is not golden yellow, but green.

Chen Xu's expression brightened: "It's no trouble at all, it seems that we can have a different taste tonight!"

As he spoke, he came to the fruit, and with a machete, split a small piece from one side, exposing the white flesh.

"This is a tropical gourd. It has a hard outer skin and soft white flesh inside. It tastes very bitter and cannot be eaten. We can hollow out the inner flesh and use it as a container for water!"

While talking, he found a stone slice, dug out all the pulp inside, and went to the stream to fill some water.

When we got back to the campsite, it was raining harder and harder.

Fortunately, he had discovered the cumulonimbus a long time ago, so he built the fire in the shack and stored a lot of dry firewood.

Crack!

And at this moment, there was a sudden noise from the side.

Chen Xu turned his head when he heard the sound, and with a "boom", the shack built by the primitive aborigines collapsed right under his nose.

Only then did the audience understand that Master Xu's caution is still necessary.

Afterwards, he began to open the backpack, deal with the fish and shrimp, and after cleaning them, threw them all into the gourd filled with water.

Master Xu is going to cook a spoonful of fish and shrimp soup!

But the skin of this gourd is not fireproof. If it is roasted on the fire, it will be burned in a short time, right?

Faced with everyone's questions, Chen Xu's mouth twitched, "This gourd is indeed not fireproof, so I didn't intend to put it on the fire."

"But I also have a way to boil water. I know that there is an ancient method of boiling water, which is to put a stone in a fire and bake it to a high temperature, and then throw it into the water. Depending on the high temperature of the stone, the water will be boiled." boiled."

Throwing stones into the water?

How do you cook it?
