Live Wilderness Challenge

At the foot of the ridge, the trunk of an upper tree attracted him.

Chen Xu walked over.

I saw a deep scratch imprinted on the thick bark.

He frowned, observed the shape of the claw mark, and judged: "This scratch is very long and deep. Among all the animals with claws in Central America, the only one that matches its size is the jaguar! "

Chapter 3 and [-]: The Scary Skull Killer

"The jaguar, also known as the jaguar, is because the pattern on its body is very similar to that of a leopard, but its body size is close to that of a tiger. It is the third largest of the four existing big cats, second only to tigers and lions. big beast."

"They are widely distributed in the primitive tropical rainforests from Central America to South America. The jaguar has a strong body and amazing explosive power. Its bite force is the strongest among cats, which is enough to reach a terrifying weight of 1134 catties. Coupled with sharp teeth, It can make them use an extremely rare killing method - instantly bite through the skull of the prey!"

"Therefore, the jaguar is also the only animal in the cat family that attacks the skull of its prey as a hunting technique. They are the top predators in the natural ecological chain of the continent, and their diet range is extremely wide, including the water overlords in Central and South America. , one of the largest boa constrictors in the world - Anaconda!"

A few short introductions by Xu Ye directly made the audience imagine a ferocious jungle killer in their minds.

They originally thought that Master Xu would no longer be afraid of any animals after stroking the leopard with his bare hands.

Now it seems that there are still many animals on the earth that are invincible to humans.

According to Master Xu's description of the jaguar's terrifying bite force, if it is accidentally bitten, will it be gnawed off?

Chen Xu pursed his lips, "Judging from the scratches, we should have entered the jaguar's range of activities, but don't be pessimistic, think about it from another angle, jaguars and leopards have different habits, they are close to tigers, They like to swim, and generally choose to inhabit near rivers and swamps."

"So, the discovery of a jaguar means that we are looking in the right direction, and there is likely to be a water source nearby!"

After speaking, he continued to walk up the mountain.

However, because of the appearance of the jaguar, when he was on his way, he was obviously more cautious than before, and the machete never left his hand.

More than an hour passed.

When Chen Xu had just turned over the hill, a faint smell of blood came from the jungle ahead.

He stopped slowly, raised his machete, "I smell a bloody smell, let's be careful, go and have a look!"

After finishing speaking, he moved towards the source of the smell lightly.

After walking about a dozen steps, he finally found a black animal corpse.

It is a deer-shaped creature with brown fur.

Chen Xu didn't walk over directly, but hid behind the tree trunk first, carefully observed the surroundings, and only approached after making sure that there were no "sneakers" nearby.

"It's a Mexican deer, look at its skull!"

Following the direction he pointed, the audience can easily see that there are four obvious blood holes in the skull behind the ears of the Mexican deer, which should have been pierced by something sharp!

jaguar!

Because they have heard Xu Ye's science popularization before, the audience quickly thought of it.

Chen Xu looked at the barrage and nodded, "That's right, it was definitely done by the jaguar, but the corpse has been completely eaten up from the inside to the outside, and the jaguar doesn't have such a large appetite. Other carnivores come over, such as American golden cats, baboons, etc."

"Although there is no extra flesh on the corpse, its eyeballs are still there. The eyes are highly water-containing tissues. The aqueous humor and vitreous body contain a lot of water. It can be said that it is one of the organs with the largest water content in the whole body of a living thing. Around 90%."

"In addition, the eyeball also contains a large amount of inorganic salts, which can be used as a supplement for sodium ions. Since the corpse has no rancid smell and no maggots, it means that the eyeball is not rotten. Let's dig it out and use it as a supplement!"

The next second, under the surprised gazes of the audience, he took a machete and cut around the Mexican deer's eyes, and then pulled out an eyeball.

Looking at the eyeballs that are like glass balls, with a small amount of blood-red soft tissue underneath, some people find it difficult to accept.

"As one of the most vulnerable parts of an organism, the eye is the organ with the fewest parasites and can be eaten raw."

After finishing speaking, Chen Xu threw one of the eyeballs into his mouth and began to chew.

Many viewers couldn't help shivering subconsciously the moment Master Xu bit it down, and automatically imagined the scene where the eyeballs exploded in his mouth and a pile of liquid flowed out.

"Fuck, is this the most disgusting thing Master Xu has ever eaten?"

"2333, Wangzai QQ candy!"

"Oh my god, it's amazing, no wonder it's called Huaxia on the tip of the tongue, this anchor is too powerful!"

"I heard that a rabbit plague broke out in Australia, and the government spent 500 million Australian dollars to cure it. I think Master Pai Xu will be able to solve it in a few days!"

With one eyeball down, Chen Xu grinned and exhaled: "To be honest, the taste is not so unacceptable. It's a bit like seafood, very salty and bitter, but I have to say, it's full of water, just like eating a lychee." !"

When the audience heard him use the metaphor of "lychee", they almost didn't spit out a mouthful of old blood.

To be able to describe such a bloody eyeball as "fresh and refined", I can only say that this is very Xu Ye!

He threw the remaining eyeball into the backpack, and deliberately separated it from the one-horned beetles, otherwise, these bugs would definitely bite it to pieces.

After most of the afternoon, Chen Xu finally climbed over the mountain and came to the other side of the hillside.

When he was about to approach the Pinggu below, he heard a few "crashing" sounds of running water.

The sound is small, but there it is.

"Have you heard, it seems that we will soon discover the source of water!"

After speaking, he excitedly walked down the mountain.

Probably only a few hundred meters away.

When Chen Xu reached the foot of the mountain, there was a small river valley in front of him, and on the river bed, a small stream flowed.

Maybe it's because there is too much sediment on the riverbed, the whole creek looks yellow and clear, and it looks very muddy, almost catching up with the Yellow River.

Chen Xu walked to the edge of the creek, filled a little water with his hand, put it in front of his nose and smelled it, "It doesn't smell much, but the water is a bit too muddy, and there are wild animals around, we don't know if they are there or not." Leaking into a creek, if there is, then even if the water is running, there will be a lot of bacteria in it."

"However, this does not mean that we cannot drink water. The ancient Indians had a very simple way of drinking water. When they were not sure whether the water source was clean, they would dig a hole half a meter wide by the river. "

"Because there is a river next to it, the nearby soil has plenty of moisture. Within a few minutes, a lot of water will seep out, and the water is filtered through the soil, just like the mineral rock seeping water before, although it doesn't look very clean. , but there are very few parasites and bacteria!"

Chapter 3 and Five: The Rainforest Supreme, the Sword Slaying the Dragon

After explaining, Chen Xu found a stick from the river and used it to dig a hole near the bank.

It was exactly as he said.

After two or three minutes, a lot of water had seeped out of the mud pit, and it was very clear. At least, it looked much better than the yellow stream.

Afterwards, Chen Xu lay down directly on the ground, stretched out his head and sucked a few mouthfuls.

After replenishing the water, when he was standing halfway up, suddenly, on the hillside opposite the creek, a brown and black dull head emerged from an inconspicuous soil hole.

It is about ten centimeters in size. From the appearance, it looks a bit like a hamster, but with a bigger head, very short ears and limbs, and no neck. The most obvious feature is that the cheek pouches on both sides are particularly bulging, which looks fat Incomparable.

As soon as it got out, many viewers were mesmerized by that dazed look and fat body.

"Looks like I'm in luck. It's an American gopher. It got its name from the fact that it has a huge cheek pouch, somewhat like a hamster, but bigger. The gochuj was one of the hunting objects of ancient primitive tribes. One, it's very agile, and it's very good at burrowing, and it's very difficult to catch."

"I have to wait quietly for it to come over, only within five meters can I be sure to catch it!"

After speaking, Chen Xu carefully hid behind a bush by the river bank.

When many viewers heard that Master Xu was going to hunt and kill this gopher, they immediately started barrage:

"Damn it, the mouse hastened to drive Q and run stealthily, Master Xu is squatting on you in the grass!"

"With the IQ of this idiot, it's estimated to be GG!"

"This gopher has gone crazy and lost its mind!"

Maybe it was because of the hot weather, the American gopher ran all the way down the hillside, and when it reached the shore, it should be ready to replenish water.

And just when it came to the edge of the stream, it seemed to have discovered something, its little nose kept sniffing in the air, very vigilant.

Then, it turned its head towards the grass where Chen Xu was hiding.

One person and one mouse, just staring at each other.

Before even half a second came, it immediately ran away.

Everyone laughed, thinking that the gopher had successfully escaped from Master Xu's mouth.

However, in the next second, a black shadow flashed with a "swoosh".

Cha-!

Accompanied by the sound of inserting into the soil.

The audience took a closer look and were stunned!

I saw a straight black dagger sticking out on the bank opposite the creek, it was Master Xu's military-used mountain-opening knife.

And under the tip of the knife, there was something stuck, it was the American gopher that was about to escape!

"Nimma, this is a bit too 6!"

"Master Xu: Sovereign of the rain forest, slaying dragons with a sword, commanding all the rats, who dare not obey!"

"2333, Master Xu is going to level 999 with one knife, it's seconds to beat anyone!"

"Oh my god, Huaxia Kung Fu, Xiao Li Feidao!"

Chen Xu was also a little excited about being able to stab a kangaroo, but when he saw the barrage from abroad, he still opened his mouth to explain:

"YouTube viewers misunderstood that this is not a throwing knife kung fu, but a simple hunting, because the structure of this dogleg knife is very similar to that of a boomerang, and it is head-heavy and tail-heavy, which is very suitable for throwing."

"I was only less than five meters away from that gopher at that time, so it was easy to throw it at such a short distance."

Then, he stepped across the creek and came to the other side of the creek.

The blade of the machete was very sharp, and the pouch was clearly dead.

He pulled out the knife and threw the fat dinner into his backpack.

At this time, the sun had already set on the mountainside.

Chen Xu looked around, "It's getting late, we need to build a temporary camp and set up a fire as soon as possible."

"In the wild, there are many compromises in choosing a camping location, one of which is not to be next to a river."

"First of all, it is easy to attract wild animals near the river. Secondly, the terrain of the river valley is too low. If there is a heavy rain at night, the collective will be directly submerged. Finally, there are a lot of mosquitoes near the water. If there is no mosquito repellent, it will definitely be a problem. A nightmare!"

Chen Xu walked directly downstream along the creek.

About ten minutes later, he came to a clearing by the creek.

"The location here looks good. The terrain is higher than the river valley, a certain distance from the water source, and it is also leeward. We will live here tonight!"

After speaking, he used the machete to chop down the nearby small palm trees.

Tropical rainforests are good at this point, and they are very rich in materials.

Chen Xu chopped down a dozen palm tree trunks and cut off all their branches.

Anyway, the machete is much easier to chop than the whaling harpoon, and a dozen tree trunks are not a problem at all.

"When setting up a campsite in a rainforest with dense species like Guatemala, one thing must be paid attention to, that is, try not to sleep directly in the ground."

"Even if you clean the ground, after a night, you can't guarantee which poisonous bugs will come to you."

"According to statistics, more than 500 people die from poisonous insects and snakes in Central America every year, which is almost twice the number of jaguars, crocodiles, and anacondas."

"This data fully tells us that in the rainforest, the greater threat to us is those unknown poisonous insects that even experts can hardly distinguish!"

While explaining, he found a bunch of vines as thick as a little finger from a nearby forest.

With the rope, Chen Xu easily tied the tree trunks together.

First, he cut off one of them, using two long ones and one short one, to make an "A" shaped shelf.

"This is the simplest off-the-ground shelter. We can make two such shelves and put a beam on the top as a fix."

"Then, we can put a row of tree trunks on the horizontal bar at the bottom, tie them tightly, and put a layer of fern leaves on top, which is a very soft bed off the ground!"

It took Chen Xu about 40 minutes to finish all this.

Then, he found a large number of cycad leaves and palm leaves, and tied them on both sides of the top of the shelf.

In this way, a simple hut off the ground, windproof and rainproof is ready.

Domestic audiences have seen a lot of Master Xu's ingenuity.

But it is the first time for many foreign audiences to see such a strong hands-on ability to build a house with bare hands. It's amazing!
