Live Wilderness Challenge

"The advantage of the pyramid shelter is that it is stronger than the cube, and it has a better shelter from the rain, and it brings a stronger sense of security to the host!"

While talking, Chen Xu demonstrated the construction method to everyone.

"Master Xu changed from survival mode to creation mode!"

"I just like watching Master Xu build houses, it feels so exquisite!"

"Actually, if Borneo doesn't have so many wild animals, it would be quite interesting to build a house here, fish and hunt every day!"

"Why do you feel that the house built by Master Xu looks like a big green hat!"

"What cuckold? Forget it, let's not talk about it, I'm going to get my hair done!"

After spending about half an hour, Chen Xu finally built the entire shelter.

It is about two meters high and in the shape of a triangular pyramid. Three sides are boards made of tree sticks. There is a narrow opening facing the lake. Once inside, there is a triangular soft bed off the ground.

It can be said that the house in front of him is one of the strongest and most secure shelters among the many houses he built.

Afterwards, Chen Xu used the remaining waste to create a fire next to it.

Because the protection of the triangular pyramid shelter is good, but the air circulation is poor, the fire cannot be moved into the shelter.

But it is the rainy season in Borneo, and if he wants to keep the fire alive, he will have to create a "shelter" for the fire.

The shelter for the fire is very simple, as long as it can keep out the rain.

Therefore, Chen Xu built a miniature shack according to the style of the previous shelter, which can not only keep out the rain, but also serve as a grill.

Because he was afraid that the rain on the ground would affect the fire, he built a stone circle around the fire, which can play a certain role of fixing and protecting.

It was already 12:[-] noon when the gutter was finally dug.

Sitting in front of the shelter, Chen Xu took out the overlord python meat that was reserved for spare in the morning and put it on the grill.

While eating snake meat, he was still thinking about hunting in the lake in the afternoon, "Because we moved this time, the raft can be used many times, so we have to find a way to make a stronger one."

"In this way, not only can the time of making rafts be saved every day, but most importantly, safety can be increased."

However, strong rafts are not easy to build.

Not only technology, but the most important thing is whether you can find suitable wood.

What Chen Xu wanted was to find a bamboo forest and use bamboo to make a double-layered bamboo raft, at least much stronger than cork.

But after a long circle, let alone the bamboo forest, there is not even a palm bamboo.

And just when he was about to give up, suddenly, a huge tree collapsed on the ground in front of him, which suddenly attracted his attention.

It was a rather huge broken log, about the thickness of Chen Xu's own body, at least four or five meters long, covered with moss, and from the fractured surfaces on both sides, it seemed to be very strong.

Under the incomprehensible eyes of the audience, he took out a machete and slashed at the surface of the bark.

But because it is not cork, the knife didn't cut very deep.

Chen Xu chopped twenty or thirty knives in a row, and finally, he only heard a "click". Unexpectedly, the tip of the next knife pierced directly into the tree trunk!

Chapter 7 and Five Fungus Harvesters

what's the situation?

Why did the arbor suddenly become so soft again?

Seeing this, Chen Xu looked overjoyed: "Great, our raft has been found!"

After finishing speaking, he chopped dozens of knives excitedly, the bark split open, and the audience discovered that the wood core inside was already somewhat rotten.

"As early as the first day when the rainstorm fell, I told everyone that in the tropical rainforest, many giant trees have already died long ago, but they are still standing on the ground with the help of vines."

"When there is a heavy rain, some trees will collapse due to the erosion of the rainstorm. The tree in front of me is exactly like this. It should have been corroded to death by insects such as ants."

"And now, the ants have already left. It can be seen that most of its wood core has rotted and softened, while the outer wood is still very hard, which can be used as our shipbuilding material!"

Shipbuilding materials?

The audience still didn't understand, not to mention that rotten wood can't be used to make rafts, and, with such a big tree, how big a raft would have to be built!

"It's not a raft, it's a canoe!"

Looking at everyone's questions in the live broadcast room, Chen Xu explained: "In subtropical regions, such as Borneo, New Guinea, and Malaysia, the most commonly used means of transportation for primitive tribes is canoes."

"A real canoe is cut out of a large tree that is intact, without splicing, and it is all done in one go. Therefore, whether it is the requirements for wood or the chopping skills, it is very important. strict."

"Sometimes, once the wrong place is cut, the entire tree will be scrapped. This kind of craft is usually completed by more than a dozen craftsmen in the tribe, and it takes several days."

"The degree of complexity and the energy consumed are destined to make the canoe rare. Not every member of the tribe can own it casually. I only have one person. If I want to chop a tree into a canoe, it may take a month. It can be done!"

"However, this arbor with a rotten core in front of me can just save me a lot of trouble because it is hollow and hard on the outside. I can make a canoe in less than two hours!"

After listening to his explanation, some viewers realized that there are indeed water tools such as canoes.

"666, it turns out that primitive tribes are just like us, not everyone can have their own means of transportation!"

"In primitive tribes, is it true that owning a canoe is equivalent to owning a Ferrari?"

"Fuck, isn't the canoe a good tool for picking up girls? Fungus harvester?"

"23333, are women in primitive tribes also so materialistic?"

"They are the most realistic ones, okay! Whoever is bigger... Oh no, whoever is stronger will follow whoever is, simple and clear!"

……

Chen Xu never imagined that the audience would be able to see the canoe from this angle, it's crazy!

In the following time, he started a crazy "canoe construction plan".

Although there is no axe, BTK's machete blade is thick and easy to chop, and it is purple-quality equipment, which has a sharpness bonus. It is relatively easy to deal with a rotten wood that has long since died.

"The canoe is formed in one piece, which is similar to the shape of a boat, but it is more slender, so the front and back must be closed. This requires a high level of chopping technology. If you chop it wrong, it will leak!"

"Fortunately, this dead wood is only rotten in the center, and the wood at the head and tail is relatively strong, otherwise I wouldn't choose it!"

After finishing speaking, Chen Xu increased his strength and kept chopping.

Perhaps the manufacturing of this thing is really difficult. During this period, from time to time, a reminder of "experience value +1" came out of his mind, which turned out to be from the tool-making skill!

Right now, his toolmaking skill is only lv4, and his current experience value is 23/500.

After about an hour of hard work, he finally chopped off half of the entire arbor, and hollowed out the rotten wood core in the middle.

He then began putting the finishing touches on the head and tail.

The head is made very pointed, just like the bow of a simple boat. The principle of this is to reduce the resistance of the water flow to the boat and make it easier to navigate.

As for the tail, Chen Xu only made a flat treatment.

In the end, a canoe about four meters long, half a meter high and wide, and five centimeters thick, with a bluish-yellow color of wood and shaped like a sharpened pencil, was finally created by him.

"call……"

It took him a lot of energy to hack and chop for an hour. After wiping the sweat from his forehead and drinking some water, he continued, "We have already carved the shape, but this is only half done."

"Watching my live broadcast, you should know that I have often emphasized that burning wood will carbonize the wood and make it harder. This is also the case for making canoes. After the wood is carved and chopped, it must be smoked with fire."

"The purpose of this is to make the canoe stronger and less likely to rot after it is launched into the water."

After speaking, he dragged the canoe back to the campsite.

At this time, the advantages of the canoe are reflected. It is slender and small, like holding a piece of wood, and it is much more flexible than a raft.

Then, Chen Xu found a lot of wild grass from the surroundings, piled it up, surrounded the canoe, and started to light it with fire.

From the inside to the outside, every corner was completely burned, and it took half an hour.

After finishing, the original greenish-yellow wood has now turned into jet black, which looks quite exquisite!

"Master Xu is simply amazing, so beautiful!"

"Could this canoe break the spell of 'the sun must sink'?"

"Hahaha, Master Xu spent so much effort to build a canoe, it would be interesting if it was crushed by a giant catfish as soon as it entered the water!"

"Congratulations to Lord Xu for getting the equipment [Canoe]: Durability: 10, Speed: 8, Defense: 7, available for advanced hunters."

With the new boat, Chen Xu is also very happy.

Afterwards, he used palm trees and balsa wood planks to make a wooden pulp, and then, with a fishing rod, spear, and Buddleia, he went to the lake outside the swampy jungle.

to the edge of the swamp.

Chen Xu pushed the canoe into the water, took off his clothes and shoes, and stepped on it with bare feet, while the body of the canoe still held him firmly and floated on the water.

very successful!

He looked happy, and immediately walked to the back of the canoe, stepped on the left side of the canoe with one foot, and stepped on the side of the canoe on the right side with the other.

Seeing this scene, the audience was puzzled.

Why didn't Lord Xu just sit in the canoe?

Isn't dragon boat rowing all sitting down?

Although this canoe is a bit crowded, it is not impossible to sit, there is no need to stand, and one foot must be stepped on the side of the boat!

Facing everyone's doubts, Chen Xu said with a smile: "My current posture is actually the way of driving a canoe!"

Chapter 7 and Six: Chewing Gum to Freshen Your Breath

How to run a canoe?

Nima, is there such a showy operation?

In the live broadcast room, many people didn't understand. Even if you stand up and row a boat, you don't need to put one foot on the side of the boat, right?

It's not stable at all, and if you encounter a torrent, it's easy to fall into the water!

To this end, Chen Xu personally demonstrated to everyone.

"The purpose of standing up and rowing is because the line of sight is better and the viewing distance is longer. From the live broadcasts of the past few days, you can see that the rivers in the tropical rainforest are very changeable, and there are often torrents and eddies."

"Having a good line of sight allows us to spot these situations early on, and standing at the back of the kayak with one foot on the side of the boat is for better maneuverability."

"You should often hear that the engines of most super sports cars are mid-mounted rear-drive, and the rear-drive car body is far more maneuverable than four-wheel drive and front-drive, and the power is also the strongest. Therefore, The power jets of airplanes and ships are all at the rear of the fuselage."

"The villagers of primitive tribes choose to put one foot on the side of the rear boat, in order to make the center of gravity of the body more flexible, and can change the offset at any time, and then quickly control the inclination and steering of the canoe, which is very convenient."

"But I still have to complain. It is really difficult to paddle a canoe like this. You need to have a very skilled grasp of the center of gravity. Otherwise, it is easy to step on the air and fall into the water!"

It is also because of Chen Xu's orange special forces skills group, his strong experience in water combat, and the experience of field skills imprinted in his mind by the wilderness peak, that he can drive quite easily.

After the audience listened to his professional explanation:

"666, Borneo's strongest veteran driver teaching sailing!"

"These days, even rowing a small wooden boat has become a skill!"

"Master Xu, I want to get in the car...ahh, get on the boat!"

"Dip! Student card!"

Since Chen Xu wasted a certain amount of time on building the shelter and the canoe, he didn't have much time to search for large freshwater creatures in the afternoon, so today was basically in vain.

However, these are also necessary.

There are still three days to go, and today's preparation will at least add nearly 15 hours to him, and they are all extremely precious daytime.

So, all in all, today is still quite worth it!

In the evening, 5:[-] p.m. Indonesian time.

Chen Xu began to return to the campsite, docked the canoe at the edge of the swamp, and tied it to a tree.

Since there was nothing to gain today, he was still busy looking for food for tonight, so he happened to find out the environment of this swampy jungle by the way.

So, after some repairs, he stepped on the swamp water barefoot, holding a spear, and began to explore towards the north.

He thought that in the evening, the aquatic life would be very active, so there might be small fish in the swamp that he could catch.

But unexpected is.
