Live Wilderness Adventure

Chapter 528 Hunter and Prey

The camphor wood is roasted by the fire, and the fine oil slowly seeps out from the fibers, and a rich fragrance wafts in the air.

The leaves of the camphor tree were plucked and placed on a stone slab, and then ground into green clay with a smooth stone. Bi Fang applied it on the exposed skin, and the mosquitoes around seemed to disappear.

The flames entangled, and the body of the stick slowly turned black.

Bi Fang picked up the stick, used the dagger to draw a cross on the top, pressed against it, picked up a round stone and struck the back of the knife, splitting into a cross.

The wooden handle of the steel dagger was removed, and the slender iron handle was inserted into the middle of the cross opening. In addition to being able to accommodate the slender iron handle, Bi Fang also carefully opened a few slots inside the cross, placing the dagger body It also accommodates about two centimeters, which is a simple mosaic structure.

Put the cross back together, and there is no way to see what is plugged inside.

Bi Fang explained: One side is concave and the other side is convex. Fitting together is the simplest mortise and tenon structure. It is not easy to break or fall off. It also accommodates part of the body of the dagger so that it is not easy to be bent. .”

Holding the pinched fracture, Bi Fang took out a length of white rope from his bag, wound it around thinly, and finally tied it with a knot.

The material of this piece of rope is Dyneema material, which is cut-resistant and wear-resistant. Its strength is more than 10 times that of high-quality steel, second only to super-grade carbon fiber. Its density is lower than that of water, and it can float on the water. It is very light. If you have seen me People who climbed the Mount Everest video should know, and you guessed it right, this is the section I used before.

I didn't use it up after climbing Mount Everest last time. We will continue to use it this time. However, its strength is really high, and it is very difficult for me to cut it.

Bi Fang pulled the excess rope and cut it bit by bit with a harpoon. This is a dagger given by the system, and it is actually difficult to cut the Dyneema rope, which shows how strong its material is.

[I rub it, the rope that Lao Fang personally used to climb Mount Everest, the steel blade forged in the wilderness, and I will use it to bathe in bear blood later, I can't imagine how much the value of this thing can rise Taller】

[Conservative estimate, two million! 】

[It's awesome, if I can be a family heirloom, I will keep it at home]

[White Tassel Spear! 】

[Back then, I used this gentian silver gun to kill him seven times and seven times in Changbanpo, full of wounds, and the shit out of him! 】

Bi Fang waved a spear about 1.8 meters in his hand. The bark on the trunk was stripped off, leaving only the white branches with delicate lines. The wind shakes.

Stuck on the ground and stepped on it, it is very tough, and there is no sign of breaking when it is bent close to 60 degrees.

After finding a pine tree, he stabbed it easily, and the resin slowly overflowed. Bi Fang wrapped the outflowing pine resin around the joint between the spearhead and the spear body, and reinforced it three times.

Mortise and tenon, rope entanglement, and resin bonding. In three steps, the wooden spear has become a whole. Whether it is chopping or stabbing, it is difficult to get rid of it.

The sharp spear pierced the sky, making a sharp whistling sound, and the leaves beside it rustled.

Bi Fang put it away very satisfied, and then made the other two wooden spears.

At the same time, the rest of the hunters were also carrying out their activities in full swing.

Everyone chose their own range of activities, but the program team did not drop everyone into the center of any forest, but asked them to go on their own way.

The radiation range of the human gathering place is very wide, and most people have nothing to gain. They only encountered some pheasants and hares, and they have not encountered any larger animals.

Only entering the depths of the forest is the beginning of the real competition.

It is now 9:30 in the morning, and Bi Fang predicts that after noon, people will start to discover things one after another.

In the jungle, Sato, who is fully armed, wears a cut-proof suit, carries a small explosion-proof shield, and shuttles between the jungle with a man-high naginata and crossbow, giving people a sense of discord combining modern and ancient times.

Times have changed.

Traditional hunters also know how to use them to protect themselves.

The program prohibits the use of heavy crossbows and hot weapons, ordinary bows and modern equipment are excluded from these two.

The other hunters who participated in the show, they don't have the blessing of Bi Fang's system, they can't be young and promising, but they don't have task restrictions, and they have installed all the equipment that can be equipped.

In addition to offensive humanoids like Sato and Mugalen who carry weapons, there are naturally defensive counterattacks that dig traps.

Primitive hunting without hunting dogs, or hunting a large beast like a black bear, is a very dangerous thing after all. The best choice is naturally to lure the black bear into the trap.

Giant log traps and wooden spike pits are good ways to deal with large animals.

Since we can see the camphor wood that is more than 25 meters high, it means that we have actually entered a deeper part of the forest. In the jungle, Bi Fang got up from the ground and put out the fire pit.

At this time, there were two wooden spears behind him, and a sharper and harder steel spear in his hand. At the same time, there were five half-man-length short spears and a spear thrower on the ground.

To deal with a rough-skinned and thick-skinned guy like a black bear, ordinary bows and arrows are far from enough, and spears with stronger penetrating power must be used. Only in this way can they penetrate the thick fat layer and hurt internal organs and muscles.

Edmond Rocca, the founder of modern forensics, once proposed a law named after him, which reads:

‘Every contact leaves a trace’.

To put it simply, there are eight words: 'Where there is contact, there will be traces'. My translation may not be very good, but the meaning is probably the same.

Bi Fang waved his spear, splitting the bushes blocking the way, and strode forward. With a long-handled weapon, the road was much easier.

After Rocca repeatedly exemplified this sentence, it was regarded as an axiom by people in the industry and became a cornerstone of forensic science, especially physical evidence.

Roca's law tells us that matter is composed of countless particles. When a suspect enters and exits the scene and commits a crime, the particles will exchange between the surface of the object he has touched and his body, leaving some trace.

His body also has some marks from the surface of these objects; even if the suspect has deliberately cleaned it, it is difficult to completely remove these marks.

All the corners he has stood on, all the utensils he has touched, and all the things he left behind, even if they are unconscious, will become silent witnesses against him.

Not only his fingerprints and footprints, but also his hair, the fibers of his clothes, the glass he smashed, the marks he used with tools, the paint he scraped off, the blood or bodily fluids he left or collected.

All these, and more, support the silent witness against him. The evidence is not forgotten, it is not confounded by moments of excitement, it does not disappear like witnesses.

It is evidence of fact.

Physical evidence is infallible, it cannot be perjured, and it cannot completely disappear.

Only those who cannot find, learn and understand will detract from its value.

In my opinion, looking for the prey is the same as looking for the prisoner. As long as it has existed somewhere, it will definitely leave traces.

As for the traces, we have to look at the physical signs and behavior habits of the 'suspect'. There are two types in total, tangible and intangible.

The tangible things are hair, scratches, footprints, and damage along the way, while the intangible things are smells, favorite foods, and possible gathering points.

If you want to find a bear, you have to be familiar with its behavior.

Bi Fang pushed aside a branch, his eyes swept over one big tree after another.

Bear animals, except for polar bears who have no conditions, all like to rub against trees, because their four can't reach their backs, and long-haired animals are prone to lice, so pay attention to whether there are scratches on the surrounding trees. marks, it will be very obvious, and the whole tree will be rubbed with a hole.

The second is footprints. The weight of a black bear can easily leave deep footprints on the ground.

The third is the smell, but if you don't have hounds, you don't need to consider this.

Bi Fang can use this trick himself, and it is not impossible for people with a strong sense of smell to exist, but obviously, most people can't do it. Therefore, if there is no hound, there is no need to consider this trick.

The last is behavioral traces. From eating to walking, predators at the top of the food chain don't care too much about concealing their whereabouts. Many times, when you see an obvious passage in the wild, you need to pay attention. Then Most likely some large herbivore or predator took the path.

It's the confidence to be at the top of the food chain.

Rabbits and mice need to look around while grazing, but elephants are never overly vigilant because there are very few animals that pose a threat to them.

More attention should be paid to whether there is any hair falling on the road. If there is hair, there is a 90% possibility that it is a ferocious predator. Be careful and be careful.

And food habits, to see where things that should have been there have disappeared on a large scale, or there are signs of destruction.

The Asian black bear is a standard omnivorous animal, mainly eating plants. It eats a variety of food types, including but not limited to buds, leaves, stems, roots and fruits of various plants, as well as mushrooms, shrimps, crabs, fish and invertebrates , birds, rodents and carrion, it also digs up ant nests and beehives.

We can see if there is an ant nest that has been turned out, nearby fruits that have been gnawed badly, or a hive that has been bitten off more than half.

[Ah, I know this, bears like to eat honey. 】

【Too cowhide】

[Details are all details]

[Speak slowly, I'm already taking notes]

[Knock on the blackboard, remember everything for me! 】

[By the way, why do bears like to eat honey? 】

Bi Fang didn't answer. He shook the spear in his hand, grabbed the end, and picked up a hanging branch with the spear head.

The leaves were turned up, and under the sunlight, several sharp scratches appeared on the trunk.

Crested puffin secretions have an orange-scented scent.
