Live Wilderness Challenge

Now that his strength has grown so much, the system may go crazy and throw him to Mars to survive.

After thinking for a while, Chen Xu decided that it's time to make multiple preparations!

So, using the rest of the afternoon, he started making traps, which were similar to the traps used for fishing in Shennongjia before. They were all woven with vines to form a bell mouth, and then put bait on the bottom to attract big fish to come in and be trapped. live.

It took him four and 10 minutes to make three of them, and then he threw them into the three spots he thought were most likely to catch big fish, and they ended up tangled in tree trunks on the shore.

By the afternoon.

He was supposed to return to the campsite, so he only made a torch with resin on the shore, and continued to return to the canoe.

"Night is the time when fish activities are the most frequent, and it is also the time when the lake is most dangerous. I have no choice but to take risks and try to hunt at night."

"When hunting at night, there is a very important point, that is, the light source, which can help us see the abnormality of the water flow. Under the abnormal water flow, there is likely to be a large predatory fish lurking."

"Moreover, the light source can help us effectively prevent being attacked by crocodiles, because the eyes of crocodiles are highly refracting lenses, which will reflect strong light when illuminated by light at night."

"Many expedition teams use high-light flashlights to avoid crocodiles when swimming at night in the water. Primitive tribes also use torches to hunt crocodiles, so this method is very effective!"

Chapter 7 Nineteen Sorry, I went to the wrong set

Indonesia around seven o'clock at night.

Chen Xu was still in the lake, paddling his canoe, constantly looking for large freshwater creatures.

The lake water at night is very scary.

Because of the rainy season, the sky in Borneo at night is not clear, the stars and the moon are only faintly visible, shining on the turbid lake, only a khaki color can be seen.

And the jungles on both sides of the bank were as dark as if they had been painted with ink, which was a little scary.

Perhaps at night, all creatures start to come out to look for food.

From time to time, there will be a few "rustling" sounds of the trees on the shore, as well as the roar of some mammals.

Occasionally, there will be a wave of waves on the water surface in the distance.

But even through the night vision mode, it is difficult for the audience to see what is going on.

The only thing that could be seen clearly was the area around the torch in Chen Xu's hand, the pitiful area of ​​about two meters.

Many viewers said that if such a person was still floating in the lake in the wild, they would have been scared to death long ago.

This feeling is no different from walking outside at night with your eyes blindfolded!

Chen Xu wandered outside for about half an hour, but he still didn't see any large fish taking the bait.

He had no choice but to turn his head and prepare to go to the place where the Thai crocodile was found before.

"Now the big fish can't be found, so we can only try our luck in the area where the crocodiles are active. Although it is a bit dangerous, we have torches. As long as we see multiple reflections, we will leave as soon as possible!"

Taking a deep breath, Chen Xu paddled the wooden paddle towards the water where the Thai crocodile was caught before.

When we got there, it really became a lot quieter.

The surrounding lake water lay there like a mirror, almost motionless except for the breeze blowing.

After rowing about tens of meters.

In the night vision mode of the drone, two small bright blue flashes suddenly appeared in the lake water about 50 meters ahead.

It should be the eyes of the crocodile!

"It's a good luck to meet a lone crocodile, but we still have to be vigilant! I told you before that the University of Texas in the United States conducted six kinds of light experiments on crocodile eyes, which confirmed that crocodiles are patients with severe hyperopia. .”

"Especially in water, this situation will continue to strengthen. The distance it can see in water is far beyond our imagination. Therefore, when we discovered it, it actually discovered us a long time ago, and Think about your next move."

"Studies by famous European biologists have shown that crocodiles have a cerebral cortex, a more complex brain than other reptiles, can think independently, and have memory functions, that is to say, it is difficult for the same two capture methods to It worked on a crocodile."

"So, this time, we no longer use the method of bait to seduce, but directly paddle over, use ourselves as bait, and after getting close, use a spear to throw and catch. Don't worry, the crocodile is farsighted, and it can only fight by smell. Judge with the water pressure!"

After finishing speaking, Chen Xu slowly rowed towards the lonely crocodile.

While he was paddling, the two flashes of light gradually sank into the water and disappeared.

"Don't be afraid, it should just dive into the water temporarily. At this distance, if it wants to continue to observe me, it will definitely surface again!"

Chen Xu whispered something to the camera.

In the next second, as expected, those reflective eyes really appeared again.

But the audience observed for a while, and felt that something was wrong, because next to the pair of reflective eyes, another pair appeared again.

two crocodiles?

no no no!Next, only a few clattering sounds were heard, and more and more shining points emerged from the water.

"Nimma! This is not a crocodile alone! There are brothers all around!"

"Crocodile: We are in the hunting summary meeting tonight, please leave immediately if you have nothing to do with outsiders!"

"23333, it's a good thing Master Xu rowed slowly. If he had been faster, he would have crashed into the crocodile encirclement right now!"

"Master Xu: I'm sorry, I went to the wrong set, you guys continue!"

Although the barrage in the live broadcast room was full of "taunts", after seeing so many crocodiles, Chen Xu was also so frightened that he stepped on the side of the boat, rowed twice, and turned the canoe around.

"No! There are too many enemies, temporarily retreat!"

After speaking, he hurriedly swiped back.

As Xu Ye said before, the Thai crocodile is really mediocre in aggressiveness to humans, and did not catch up directly.

So, after reaching the safe range, Chen Xu stopped in the lake and continued to look back:

"This group of crocodiles may be preparing to hunt cooperatively. Let's wait until they finish hunting and see if there are any crocodiles left alone!"

In this way, he waited for more than 20 minutes.

But the gang of crocodiles showed no tendency to disperse.

Helpless, Chen Xu had no choice but to give up hunting. The light at night is so poor, there are so many crocodiles, and they are on the water.

When we returned to the campsite, it was already past eight o'clock at night.

Chen Xu sat in front of the fire, roasting a crucian carp he caught from the swamp, chatting with the audience while thinking about the next plan.

From the current point of view, he has a day and a half left.

This really corresponds to the saying, "Time is tight, and the task is heavy." If he goes on like this without gaining anything, he will be forced to go back and catch that estuarine crocodile!

Although the physiological size gap between the two sides is too great.

But the reason why human beings have been able to rule the entire natural world has never been by physical strength, but by wisdom, especially the wisdom of making tools.

"If there is no obvious harvest tomorrow, we will go back to the swamp in the north to touch the estuarine crocodile. If we are fully prepared, we may not be able to subdue this freshwater overlord."

The "well-prepared" in Chen Xu's mouth is naturally poison and trap.

When the tool manufacturing was upgraded to the full level, there were many large-scale traps with huge lethality in his mind.

Although it is a bit laborious to manufacture, if it is successful, and the venom extracted from the fangs of poisonous snakes, even a five-meter-long estuarine crocodile is enough to drink a pot!

Just like that, with deep thoughts, Chen Xu quickly fell asleep.

Early morning of the seventh day.

Chen Xu opened the live broadcast room on time, and after seeing the rapid increase in the number of live broadcasts, he said: "Hi everyone, I am Chen Xu, and today is a crucial day for me to come to Borneo to challenge my survival."

"After five and a half days of searching and capturing, I still haven't completed the challenge of hunting three-meter freshwater creatures. After my reflection, I think there may be a problem with my method."

"The lakes where big fish come and go are very deep, but my fishing rod is only a very simple one, and the fishing line is only four or five meters. I have always relied on the smell of bait to attract big fish."

"But this works very slowly. On average, only one freshwater creature over one meter can be hooked every day. There is no way to attract fish in deep water areas. Therefore, I thought about it for a while and decided to use a long line of more than 15 meters!"

Chapter 7 Please stop being so showy!

Longer fishing line means that big fish can be lured to deeper water with bait, and everyone knows this.

But the key point is that Chen Xu does not have professional fishing equipment. Where can he get the fishing line of more than ten meters? Even if it can be woven with bark or vines instead, how will the line be reeled in the end?

You should know that professional fishing rods all have reels, and the fishing line can be retracted easily.

Master Xu can't use his own hands to pull it hard, can he?

Facing the doubts of the audience in the live broadcast room, Chen Xu said meaningfully: "We don't have to force it, we can make a take-up reel!"

So, he ran directly to the side of the swamp, and kept digging in the soil by the water with his hands.

After about one or two digs, brownish-yellow soil began to appear under the brown silt.

Those who had watched Chen Xu’s live broadcast on the Pacific island before recognized it at a glance. This is the clay that has been washed and filtered by the water. It is much finer than the ordinary soil on the ground, just like plasticine, and it is easy to stick. combine together.

Does Master Xu want to use clay to burn a reel fishing reel out?

This Nima is too awesome, right?

Seeing this, Chen Xu chuckled, "Why can't we burn a take-up reel? To be honest, our purpose is just to take up the line, and we don't pay attention to throwing rods like those professional fishermen."

"In this way, we only need to make an I-shaped roller with the function of winding wire. This simple shape can be carved even out of wood, but our tools are limited, and drilling is very laborious, so it is better to use clay to fire it." Simple!"

After he finished speaking, he dug up about two handfuls, and then brought the brownish-yellow clay near the campsite.

Next, Chen Xu moved a stone and sprinkled a layer of discarded charcoal ash on it. The purpose of this was to prevent the clay from sticking to the stone slab, and also to absorb the moisture in the clay so that it would not be too soft. Not easy to shape.

The audience knew that this should be Master Xu's "workbench".

Then, under the camera of the drone, he rubbed a handful of clay into a mud cake, then found a smooth tree stick about three centimeters thick, stuck it on it, and glued it into a tube.

Next, it is to squeeze in the middle and modify the shape!

To be honest, since it is a simple fishing reel, there is no need to make it too delicate.

What's more, no matter how delicately it is pinched, it will be more or less deformed when it is burned in the fire.

Therefore, when kneading, Chen Xu made it extremely simple.

Finally, it was pulled out from the wooden stick, and the formed shape was an I-shaped mold about six to seven centimeters long with a three-centimeter round hole in the middle. It really looked like a fishing reel on a fishing rod.

However, because the clay would be very brittle and easily damaged when fired, Chen Xu pinched the sides of the I-shaped very thickly, and made a hole at one end with a one-centimeter-thick branch.

Looking at such a delicate mold, the audience couldn't help but admire:

"666, Master Xu must have been a pastry master before, this dough is so good!"

"It's so cold, I'm playing in mud in Borneo!"

"I feel that if you give Master Xu time, you can burn a clay house out of clay!"

During the audience's barrage discussion, Chen Xu made a total of two molds. Considering that the clay may burst and fail in the fire, he made one more to be prepared.

Afterwards, he put them next to the fire, dried them, and then threw them into the fire for burning. In order to increase the temperature of the fire, he deliberately filled it with a lot of burning materials, and used broad leaves of plants as fans , constantly blowing up the fire.

Because it was not a big object, after burning for more than half an hour, he used a tree stick to fiddle out the two clay take-up wheels.

As he guessed, one of them, with many visible cracks on the surface, was obviously not working.

The other one was fired well.

The color is light brown, and the shape has hardly changed. When Chen Xu taps it lightly with his fingers, it will make a crisp sound like tiles.

Then, according to the old method, Chen Xu weaved a super long fishing line of more than ten meters with six strands of bark, and tied a wild boar tooth hook to the end.

As for the fishing rod, he used a palm bamboo that was nearly three meters long and four centimeters thick.

In the past few days, he has been using this plant as a fishing rod, because it is light in weight, has good toughness, and is not easy to break.

Afterwards, Chen Xu carved a shallow groove with the tracker at a position about fifteen centimeters from the bottom of the fishing rod, and then cut off the stick used to make the clay fishing reel to about ten centimeters, and used the bark to seal it. firmly fixed on it.

He didn't insert the clay reel into the right end until he twisted it up and down and there was no sign of loosening.

"Because the water molecules are evaporated during the firing of the clay, the clay molecules are gradually bonded together, so the whole body will shrink a bit, so there will be some gaps between the stick and the stick."

"As long as we coat the stick with dipterocarp resin, there will be almost no friction. Similarly, we can also split a little with a knife at the end of the stick, and put a small stone in it, and finally Bound him to death with bark!"

"In this way, the end of the stick will swell and become thicker due to the stone being caught, exceeding the diameter of the clay fishing reel, so it will not fall off, and you can turn and take up the line with peace of mind!"

After preparing all this, Chen Xu pierced a hole with a tracker on the top of the fishing rod, passed the fishing line through it, and then spun the fishing rod twice before wrapping it around the clay fishing reel.

Finally, he found a branch more than one centimeter thick, chopped it into seven or eight centimeters with a knife, and stuffed it into the hole pierced at the end of the fishing reel before, as a handle for the fishing reel.
