I am the king of the wild live

Chapter 932 Temporary Foothold
Chapter 932 A Temporary Foothold
Wang Yu looked at the clusters of dense yellow inflorescences at the crown of the tree, with a look of regret on his face.

"It's a pity that we came at the wrong time. It's just the flowering period of the date palms. If you want to taste the sweet and delicious dates, you have to wait until September or October."

Wang Yu shrugged and said helplessly.

Having said that, it is also a good thing to encounter date palms in the desert. Date palms are full of treasures, and the thick and strong trunks are often used as building materials and drinking troughs for livestock.

And its branches are also what Wang Yu wants most. The branches and leaves of the palm family are very suitable for making rope beds. People in tropical areas can say that they have a deep understanding.

Wang Yu put down his backpack, took off his Arab robes that were difficult to climb on the big tree, held a scimitar and dagger in his mouth, and prepared to climb the date palm tree. The scaly bark gave him a good foothold and a grabbing area. , Wang Yu jumped up, firmly grasping the thick tree trunk with both hands, and the inner edges of his feet were firmly stuck on the protruding scaly bark.

Just like this, every time he climbed up a short distance, his whole body looked very light. He jumped up to several meters high in just a few breaths, giving people the impression that he was climbing very easily.

But in fact, it looks easy but hard to do. This method of climbing and climbing trees is a big challenge to people's arm strength, waist and abdomen strength, and body coordination. Ordinary people will go down after climbing two steps at most. Falling, the body simply cannot take it, let alone as fast as Wang Yu.

In less than ten seconds, Wang Yu climbed to the canopy area with a dagger in his mouth, firmly grasped the trunk with one hand, and quickly chopped palm branches and leaves with a knife in the other hand. The branches and leaves fall down.

Seeing that it was almost done, Wang Yu didn't stop, and threw the dagger down casually. Relying on his limbs, he quickly climbed down from the canopy.

Putting on the dirty Arabic linen robe again, Wang Yu inserted the dagger into the scabbard at his waist, stretched his hands to the ground, and embraced all the palm branches and leaves on the ground.

"The foliage is pretty good, enough to get me through the night, a decent comfy straw mat, or a rope bed would be a great choice!"

With that said, Wang Yu returned to the temporary shelter with the leaves and branches in his arms. At first, Wang Yu planned to make a rope bed hanging in mid-air, but he couldn't find two suitable balanced force points.

Ever since, I had no choice but to give up this idea, and chose to make a soft and comfortable straw mat.

In order to avoid being attacked by wild beasts at night, Wang Yu did not choose to pave the ground in the open space, but climbed up a ledge with an area of ​​about two square meters and a height of nearly two meters. Small and medium-sized wild animals are basically no threat.

In addition to encountering African leopards, living in trees is not very safe. However, the chance of encountering desert leopards in the desert is very small. Even in canyon areas, it can only be said to be very rare. Therefore, Wang Yu was not too worried.

After laying out the sleeping mat, Wang Yu jumped off the ledge to make a fence to keep out such nasty beasts as the African hyena.

At this time, the sky was completely dark and the temperature dropped. Wang Yu collected some dry weeds and branches nearby, and quickly lit a bonfire with the fire bow and some kindling in his backpack.

A bright firework rose up, illuminating the surrounding area. It looked very dazzling in the dark canyon, and brought a sense of warmth to people's body and mind.

"Boom...boom"

Waves of rhythmic knocking sounds echoed in the empty canyon. Branches as thick as an arm were driven into the ground by Wang Yu. The soil mixed with sand and mud was not solid, and the other end had been sharpened. Yu completed the main structure of the fence without much effort.

Naturally, there were no pilings at the entrance and exit. Instead, several slightly shorter tree trunks were used to hang in the air. One end was used to fasten the fence door firmly with thin vines, and the other end was made into a simple but strong door bolt. Wang Yu stood by the bonfire and used the thin vines. The branches were entangled with each other and tied firmly, while chatting with the audience.

"When surviving in the wilderness, if you lack tools like ropes, you can consider using your own carry, or even a belt, as a "rope" to temporarily fix objects. Learn to use everything that can come in handy!"

After finishing speaking, Wang Yu also tied the last knot, opened the fence gate, pushed it back and forth several times, and found that the effect was very good, and he could come and go freely and smoothly.

Wang Yu patted the dust on his hands and said with a smile: "Okay, a simple and safe nest is finished, let's go and see the situation of the kettle!"

With that said, Wang Yu opened the fence door, closed it, and walked towards the water source next door. Under the bright and clear moonlight, Wang Yu found a small puddle along the rock wall, lay down on the ground, stretched out his hand to explore it, and grabbed it. The military kettle feels heavy in my hand, and I feel more at ease in my heart, and the corners of my mouth can't help but bend charmingly.

Not much to say, grabbing the water bottle, Wang Yu took a sip into his mouth, and the feeling of carefree dripping spread all over his body. At this moment, Wang Yu is like a "dead" Nine Dead Resurrection Grass in the desert. After being watered, The withered yellow curly branches and leaves stretch out again, exuding a strong green vitality.

"It just solved my urgent need and brought me back to life. It's great! The feeling of being able to drink to my heart's content is really a great blessing in life for me now!"

Wang Yu had a smile on his face, and after a while, he said helplessly: "Although there is a source of water here, the water may contain heavy metals. If you drink it for a long time, it will be bad for your health, so this is just a temporary stop." Point, I will not stay here permanently, I am going to find water sources that are more beneficial to my survival, until the completion of this challenge, finding water sources is my theme from beginning to end, and this will not change!"

Before finding a more suitable place to live, this canyon can only be regarded as a rest station for Wang Yu, not to mention the problem of water quality. It is now the rainy season. , The power accumulated and collided by the flood is not a joke, even if it is far away from the dry riverbed, it may not be immune.

It’s okay during the day, but if a flood suddenly comes while sleeping in the middle of the night, it will be dangerous. If you are drowned by the flood in the desert, then this kind of death is too absurd.

With that said, Wang Yu put another old-fashioned kettle in the small puddle, and took the kettle back to the shelter by himself.

Although I didn't get any edible items today, it is gratifying enough to get water.
