Wilderness Challenge [Comprehensive British American American Entertainment]

This poison dart frog must have had no idea what it was going to be used for when it was caught.

For most viewers, what happened next was simple enough—Jennifer cut some wooden sticks with a short knife, one of them was made into a bow, and the others were made into short arrows of different sizes. She took some elastic rattan and kneaded it into a bow rope, and all the short arrow nocks were cut to catch the bowstring, and then...she rolled the short arrow on the poison dart frog.

Poor poison dart frogs are so pissed off by this primitive method of poisoning that they start secreting even more toxic slime, to the detriment of the cunning Twoleg.Jennifer didn't put the limp poison dart frog back into the rattan cage until all the poisoned arrows were covered with venom. She carefully held the arrow tails, and took the pike and bow in the other hand.

Homemade bows aren't good enough for hunting big game -- of course spears are, but Jennifer wanted to play it safe.She decided to hit a few small animals with a 30-kilogram target first, and see if the toxin could be used to hunt large animals.

No one knows whether the toxin of this poison dart frog is strong enough. After all, it depends on how many poisonous insects the poison dart frog has eaten, and whether its diet is strong enough to be poisonous.

In fact, Jennifer still had a somewhat darker idea in her heart.

The lethality of the spear is obvious to all. It can kill most animals by itself without the blessing of arrow poison. The huge penetrating injury caused by the spear head can definitely penetrate the venom directly into the blood of the prey. Will the program team decide to use the spear? Does the animal killed count as being killed "with curare poison"?

If you give her an "initial damage too high and no judgment" like the fixed black caiman target, then the pre-planning required for hunting large animals such as tracking traces, selecting hunting points, lurking, preparing for counterattack, etc. will be in vain Time and energy are gone.

Now she makes a small bow, just right for hitting some common lizards and skinks to find their way.

Bows and arrows compared to skinks and spears compared to mammals are naturally more advantageous for the former, and if the former counts, then the latter should also count.With the shortbow to experiment with, Jennifer can determine the ratio of arrows to prey and use that as a standard to track down the right mammal, once and for all.

***

Facts have proved that Jennifer's train of thought is correct.

When she successfully shot a small arrow into the torso of a lizard for the first time, the mission tracking system jumped out uncontrollably—[Communication: Failed to hunt with arrow poison. 】

The target lizard was too dead, so the hunt failed. Jennifer couldn't think of any reason other than the excessive damage caused by the arrow itself.

She secretly scolded the show crew for being cunning and cunning, digging pits for contestants to jump in every day, but she quickly replaced it with a smaller wooden arrow.

There are a lot of reptiles in the rainforest. From the time she finished making the wooden bow to the time before the sun went down, Jennifer shot and killed five animals with wooden arrows, including two big skinks, two small skinks and a non-poisonous skink. green snake.In the end, she hit the green snake with the smallest arrow, watched it crawl on the ground dragging the arrow, and after a few minutes, the movement gradually stopped, and the task tracking system condescendingly included the weight of about 1800 grams.

So Jennifer's record has changed from a miserable "0/30" to a pitiful "1.8/30".

Judging from the expressions on the faces of the contestants when they returned to the camp, she was even considered happy, and she could vaguely hear some people saying "I didn't find a new color at all", "I finally found a bright colored frog and it turned out It’s not a poison dart frog at all”, “I accidentally stabbed my finger with arrow poison, and now my hand is swollen”, and the voices of “Is there any hidden explanation for the mission, why the animals hunted and killed are always not counted”.

It seems that more than one person was confused.

The poison dart frog brought back by Jennifer brought a touch of bright color to the frowning camp. The yellow color of this poison dart frog and the light pink brought by another contestant pushed everyone's color spectrum collection to only one step away from completion. A difference of 1.2% in height.

1.2% was infinitely close to the completion of the task for the eight or nine contestants present. Everyone couldn't help talking loudly that night because they saw the dawn of victory.A few of them with rings exchanged information with each other. Jennifer exchanged the information of the two missions "South Three Points Hell Aquarium" and "South Four Points Looking for Toucans" to the other two points.

Five Points South·Deadly Rainbow Go north to Five Points North, where the mission is "Fearless Swarm"; go further west from Five Points North to North Four Points, where the mission is "Blood-sucking Feast".

These two mission points belong to the point that you don't want to go just by hearing the name.

Compared with swarms and blood sucking, Jennifer simply thinks "Hell Aquarium" is extremely cute.She would rather go to fight with the piranhas in the river, and never want to go to the dark and dark underground waterway to fight with the bats and other creatures in the cave, as other contestants said.

***

Probably because she heard her inner voice, the next evening, a player who had exchanged mission resources brought her information about the presence of black piranhas.

Going south from the mission point, there is a small river. The surface of the river here is occupied by tangled aquatic plants and broken tree trunks. There is only less than half of the channel left for the river to dredge. It is an ideal fishing and hunting place. .One of the contestants was going to get something to eat for himself, and to try his luck to see if there were any poison dart frogs nearby, but he collided with a huge black food.

Jennifer patiently listened to his description, and said all the words that seemed exaggerated, such as "the size of a person's arms", "teeth longer than my fingers", "one bite can bite off a person's foot", etc. Filter it again, and finally draw the conclusion you need.

She was the only contestant present with the "Hell Aquarium" mission, and the contestants who received the mission consultation did not intend to compete with her, but they certainly would not be kind enough to make a special trip to remind her, there may be fraud.

In any case, the small river to the south must be visited.

On the morning of the third day, Jennifer packed up and walked towards the river, carrying spears and packages as usual, and now there was an extra wooden bow and wooden arrows, and three poison dart frogs dangling in a cage on her waist.

She didn't expect this configuration to kill her prey—a knowledge confirmed when she saw the river with her own eyes.Not to mention killing Hei Shi, there was no sign of Hei Shi.If it weren't for the fact that there were traces of fish corpses left by piranhas after eating nearby, Jennifer would have suspected that other contestants were deliberately slowing her down.

The enemy is in the dark and we are in the light, so we can only take extraordinary measures.

There are two types of adventurers dealing with piranhas. Either the adventurers go into the water, or they force the piranhas to surface.

The black piranha is one of the most famous killers in the Amazon rainforest and a must-have element in many adventure movies.

Usually, the following scenes appear in these movies: the protagonist accidentally steps into the waters where a large number of piranhas are active, and often just ignores some clues for various reasons, such as the mutilated fish corpses floating on the river or the warnings of the aborigines, and then Inadvertently let out a scream, pulled out his legs and saw that his legs were covered with blood, and then he was eaten dry by a group of piranhas and turned into a dry bone, or sank into the water with his eyes closed.

This kind of scene has inevitably undergone artistic processing.

Piranhas are scary, and black piranhas are an S-level existence among piranhas, but there is no definite news about piranhas attacking adults to death.There have been reported cases of human beings being eaten by piranhas after drowning and death due to infection after being attacked by piranhas. There have also been reports of young children being attacked by piranhas and causing multiple huge wounds, but in the movie The scene where adults are eaten directly after entering the water does not exist.

Some adventurers have done experiments. If there is no wound on the surface of the human body, even if it enters an ordinary piranha pool, it will not be attacked.Going further, the black piranha, as the "stronger" among piranhas, is more accustomed to living alone, and the black piranha that appears alone must have a mouth that can swallow an adult.

"However, although piranhas usually don't attack uninjured living creatures during the rainy season, people who stray into fish schools by mistake don't have to worry too much about being eaten into skeletons. The necessary self-prevention awareness is still necessary." Jennifer finally concluded .She pointed to the wound on her leg. "The giant otter gave me a gift, I dare not step into the river with this hole."

Getting into the water was out of the question.

It rained a little at noon, and the river in front of my eyes became more muddy, and I couldn't see where the black piranhas were.Jennifer waited patiently for a moment, and put her eyes on the endless piles of water plants, and then put her eyes on a small bow, a few poisoned arrows, and a few spears in her hand, and finally gave up the idea of ​​using weapons to break the water on the shore.

Then there is only one way left.

"I need some foreign aid," she said to the camera.

Unit [-] then followed Jennifer away from the river bank and walked towards the depths of the rainforest, watching her looking around, stopping at various plants from time to time, and carefully observing their characteristics, which seemed very purposeful.

The two commentators who knew more about the rainforest also pulled the topic away from other contestants and began to guess what plants Jennifer was looking for.It took a few minutes for Cody and Bell to come to an agreement—

"Poison ivy."

Jennifer was indeed looking for poison ivy, one of the herbs commonly used by indigenous tribes in the Amazon for hunting and fishing.

This kind of plant looks like a rattan plant, and sometimes it will produce small white flowers. It can be said to be very delicate in appearance, but its effect is very domineering.There is nothing unusual about its leaves, and the "essence" is all in the roots.

The root of poison vine contains a lot of rotenone, which is often used in modern agriculture to kill pests on crops and mosquito larvae in water.And rotenone can also cause great harm to fish. Its effect is respiratory depression and convulsions.Although the effects of vomiting, respiratory depression and convulsions are multiplied in mammals, accidental ingestion of poison deer ivy has the potential to be disastrous, and small or large doses can be restored to safety by cooking.

Jennifer is well aware of the truth, and of course she would not die to eat those raw poisonous plants.

After finding the target, she carefully checked her hands to confirm that the skin was intact, and immediately uprooted some poison ivy, cut off the middle with a knife, and put the roots aside for later use.

The trees and aquatic plants in the river can be used, and the poison ivy must be lowered from both sides to seal off the potential escape route of the black piranhas first, and then come to catch the turtle in an urn.

If you're lucky and get the target within the range of rotenone's action, it's almost doomed; if you're unlucky, you can prepare yourself a good dinner.

Thinking of this, Jennifer held several large handfuls of poison ivy roots, found a big rock by the river as a chopping board, and then used a thicker branch as a hammer to smash the roots of poison ivy.

After being hit hard, the poisonous fish vine roots slowly spread out, and the juice flowed sideways, and part of it flowed along the stone wall into the river water along the bank.A few minutes later, some palm-sized small fish suddenly floated on the nearby river surface. Some of them directly paddled their fins and flipped their bellies, and some swam crazily on the water surface, splashing countless water splashes.

good sign!

Jennifer stared.

"Poisoned things are really insidious and practical."

The poison ivy was indeed effective, and the performance of the small fish just showed that they could no longer breathe in the water.

In line with the principle of making the best use of everything, she brought all these small fish to the shore, some of them were dried on the river beach, and some of them were prepared to be used as fish food for trapping black piranhas.

All is ready except for the opportunity.
