Wilderness Challenge for Live Broadcast

After speaking, Chen Xu took a step forward.

And with this small step, his entire shoes were completely submerged in the water.

Fortunately, the periphery is not too deep. According to the method I explained to you before, we need to find a long enough dead wood to use as a walking stick!

So, he walked along the shallow swamp outside, first walked to the edge of a bush, pulled out the machete, and cut off a branch as a crutch.

With it helping to find the way, Chen Xu became much bolder.

At least, he knew that he would not step into a deep pit or muddy swamp for no reason, and be swallowed alive!

Along the way, the swamp began to get deeper and deeper.

From just reaching Chen Xu's ankle at the beginning, until now, his entire calf has been buried under the swamp.

As for the ant nest, because he was afraid of being soaked in water, he had already put it into the combat backpack, because the fabric of the backpack was waterproof.

Fortunately, this swamp is relatively shallow, and generally no large organisms will survive.

There will be no large creatures, which means that at least no creatures larger than 1.5 meters will appear.

And below 1.5 meters, even a crocodile or a python is not fatal enough.

In this way, Chen Xu's nerves, which had been tense all the time, could relax a little.

After walking for about ten minutes, there was another crashing sound of water flowing ahead, and the sound was much louder than the previous creek.

There is a river ahead!

He opened his mouth to remind the audience, but he was actually reminding himself that in the next second, he slowly put his right hand on his waist and pulled out the machete.

The depth of the swamp is not enough for the growth of large freshwater organisms, but rivers are different, let alone 1.5 meters, as long as the river is big enough, even 6-meter estuarine crocodiles may appear.

Just like that, after passing through the last bush, Chen Xu suddenly felt his field of vision widen.

In the footage captured by the drone, he is now standing on the bank of a khaki river.

The river is very wide,

At least it was close to 20 meters, but the water flow in the river channel was not too fast, and it looked like the downstream section of the entire river.

It was precisely because the water flow was not fast enough that many tributaries in the river channel separated and spread into the nearby jungle, which formed the small swamp that Chen Xu just passed through.

The water level in the swamp rose, flowed down the mountain stream, and finally became a creek again.

The discovery of the river was good news for Chen Xu, which meant that his hunting plan could be put on the agenda earlier.

However, the most important task right now is to build a campsite.

He looked up at the sky, and the dark cloud in the distance had already started to float towards this side slowly, and in the process of drifting, it was still absorbing other clouds, as if a super heavy rainstorm was brewing.

Time is running out, let's find a campsite near here!

Afterwards, Chen Xu inserted the machete back, stepped into the water, and started walking to the other side of the river.

Because it was the lower reaches of the river, the current was not turbulent, and the water level was only below his knees, so he walked over easily.

On the other side, he went into the jungle again.

To build a survival site in the tropical rainforest, you should choose to be next to the flowing water source, but you must not be too close to the river. First, the tropical rainforest has heavy rains, and the water level of the river is prone to skyrocketing, flooding the campsite.

Secondly, the water source is a necessity for maintaining the life of living things. Human beings need it, as do other living things. If it is too close to the water source, it is easy to be noticed by wild animals who come to the river to drink water, and even be attacked. Finally, there are mosquitoes, moisture and other influences.

After finishing a few words, Chen Xu had already walked about fifty or sixty meters into the jungle.

He didn't stop until he found a fairly open terrain, It's right here!

After speaking, he began to search for materials to build a camp nearby.

Tropical rainforest plants grow densely and are rich in materials, especially shrubs and small palm plants, which are almost too numerous to count.

Compared with the beggar-level start of survival in the rainforest in the past, Chen Xu now has a machete, which is much more convenient than self-made stone axes.

In ten minutes, he chopped down more than a dozen palm tree trunks as thick as a wrist.

And just as he continued to cut the vines, a black thorn-like plant full of thorns appeared in his eyes on the left front of the bush.

This thing is good, the spikes are very hard, you can use it as a hook for fishing!

As he said that, he also chopped off a section.

In order to fear that the rainstorm would wet the ground and it would be difficult to start a fire, Chen Xu even picked up a piece of dead wood and put it in his combat backpack as a backup at critical moments.

For these small details, the audience also has to admire.

Surviving in the wild, searching for materials is a very important link, often a detail will directly affect the quality of your living environment.

Back at the camp, dark clouds had already drifted over his head.

I don't know if it's a psychological effect or the cold air brought by the low-pressure mass. In short, Chen Xu felt that the jungle seemed much cooler for no reason.

So, he took out the windbreaker from the backpack in advance and put it on. The high-quality windbreaker fabric can barely be used as a raincoat, at least it is much better than wearing a shirt directly.

Then, he began to formally set up the camp.

According to the requirements of the rainforest shelter, the first thing is to be strong enough to ensure that we don't collapse when we sleep, then it is to protect us from the rain to prevent us from catching a cold, and finally it is to be away from the ground to avoid the bites of ants and poisonous insects. One of these three is missing. No.

While explaining the knowledge of the shelter to the audience, Chen Xu's hands had already started to move.

Due to the approaching rainstorm, his construction speed is obviously much faster than before.

According to those requirements, he first picked the four longest palm trunks as the pillars of the entire shelter, which were rectangular and inserted into the soil in the open space.

Then, Chen Xu brought three more tree sticks, one of which was cut in half, each at a position about one meter above the ground, tied them horizontally between the four foundation pillars with a vine figure-of-eight knot, The middle is filled with other wooden sticks.

In this way, the shelves and bed boards of a campsite are all set up.

Next, he used the remaining tree sticks to make a triangular roof, which was also tied to the frame with vines.

Now, as long as the roof is covered with rainproof palm leaves, a simple tropical rainforest shelter is considered complete.

However, just as Chen Xu had just picked up the palm leaf and was about to tie it to the roof.

Suddenly, there was another loud thunder in the sky:

Boom!

Immediately after the lingering sound, he felt a few drops of cold water hit his face.
