Live Wilderness Challenge

After building the shack, the sun had already started to set.

It's getting dark, and fast.

The night in the tropical rain forest is undoubtedly very scary.

Chen Xu hurriedly found a small clump of dry weeds and dead leaves nearby. I have to say, in such a humid environment, it is very good to find a small clump of dry things.

The audience thought that Lord Xu was going to perform the fire drill again, and some even guessed how long it would take him.

But what he didn't expect was that this time, Chen Xu only found a stick, not dead wood.

Chapter 3 and [-] unlock new fire skills!

what happened?

Could it be that Master Xu didn't drill wood to make fire, but drilled the ground to make fire?

Looking at the barrage reminders all over the screen, Chen Xu explained: "That's right, I did change the way of lighting the fire this time, because the humidity in this rainforest is very high, and I used the ordinary method of drilling wood to make fire or the fire plow method." , even if a spark emerges, it is easily extinguished by water molecules in the air."

"So, what I adopted this time is an ancient Imas life method called the fire stick method. This method of lighting fire can effectively solve the problem of spark extinguishing, because it directly puts the fire starting device on the tinder! "

During the process of explaining, he rolled the tinder he found into a ball and put it on the ground, then split one end of the dead branch into three vertically with a knife, but not completely split, but using this gap, and then cut it into thirds. Caught a branch.

Then, he brought another dead vine, "The way the Imas make fire is very simple. They put the branches on the tinder, pass the vine through the bottom, and then step on it with their feet. Like a jigsaw, pull up and down, sparks come out through friction."

"We can see that because the wooden stick is close to the tinder, once the spark emerges, it will fall directly on the tinder, which is much easier than moving the spark to ignite."

"And the most clever thing about the Imas is to split one end into three parts, and use the inserted branches to prop up the gap to increase the air circulation, so that the friction contacts more oxygen and makes it easier to ignite."

After finishing speaking, Chen Xu stepped on one end of the branch, grabbed both ends of the withered vine with both hands, and began to pull it up and down quickly.

The dry vines rubbed against the dead branches, producing a harsh sound of "Zizi".

Chen Xu pulled back and forth about eight or nine times, and his palms became sore. He immediately shook his hands, relaxed a bit, and then quickly repeated the previous movements again.

While making a fire, he said to the camera: "The essence of friction-based fire-making methods is friction to generate heat, so everyone must pay attention to one thing, that is, the interval between rest should not be too long, even if your hands are sore, you must overcome it. "

"Otherwise, if you pause too long in the middle, the friction points will cool down and you'll never finish building the fire!"

After another sixty or seventy strokes, his arms and wrists became sore again.

But this time Chen Xu didn't stop. Instead, he gritted his teeth and speeded up despite the soreness.

"I had to go beyond the limits of my sore arm!"

Dozens, dozens of times passed.

His expression became more and more ferocious, and the audience could clearly see through the drone's lens that the skin of Master Xu's two arms had turned red, and blue veins protruded from the skin surface like earthworms.

Both of these points indicate that his arm is being overloaded.

After Simon captured this scene, he immediately mobilized the background software and added a tense background music.

At this moment, a faint blue smoke came out from under the tinder.

Chen Xu looked happy:

"Ah... it's coming! It's coming! Work harder!"

At the last moment, he accelerated again, pulled fifty or sixty times, then quickly threw away the dead wood, and began to lie on the ground, blowing on the tinder.

"Huh...huh..."

After a few breaths, some faint lights finally emerged from the tinder.

Afterwards, these bright lights quickly became larger, and then merged into a huge bright light. With a "shua", a group of orange-yellow flames burst out like this!

"awesome!"

Chen Xu raised his fist, extremely happy.

Although this is not the first time he has lit a fire, judging from the fire conditions, there is less tinder, less dead branches, and the air humidity is extremely high.

It can be said that this is almost the most difficult time for him.

"Congratulations to Lord Xu for unlocking the new fire-making skills!"

"Before I went to the wild to try Master Xu's method of drilling wood to make fire, but the result was that the skin of my hand was torn, and there was not even a smoke!"

"That's because your hands are not fast. Ever since I learned Master Xu's technique of drilling wood to make fire, now my boyfriend can't walk for five seconds under my hands!"

"2333333!"

The fire was successfully raised, and the sky was completely dark.

Chen Xu added the prepared branches little by little, and the fire became bigger and bigger.

Then, he opened the backpack and took out all the "food" collected during the day.

There were four one-horned beetles, one Mexican deer eyeball, and one pouch.

He briefly dealt with the gopher, then found two branches, and strung it and the beetles into two strings respectively.

As for the eyeball, he prepared a pile of dead leaves that had been soaked with water for it.

"We randomly find the bark of a tree, and then put these Jue leaves in it to wrap the eyeball. The fire will ignite the bark, but not the Jue leaves that are full of water. It will be like a steamer, steaming the eyes. !"

After speaking, he put all three foods on the fire.

About 15 minutes of work.

Chen Xu picked apart the dead leaves with a branch, and a gust of hot air came out, and the tender and translucent eyeball inside now turned into a white "ball".

"It's already turned white, which means it's cooked!"

He picked it up carefully, took two breaths, and threw it into his mouth.

Afterwards, he nodded, which meant that the taste was not bad.

Afterwards, the four one-horned beetles and pouches did not escape his "blood mouth".

"Ah! The smell of malt!"

"Goku: Just eat it, if you don't finish it, I'll lose!"

"You have now joined Xu Ye's luxury family bucket!"

After dinner, Chen Xu chatted with the audience for a while, then went to sleep in the shack.

Before downloading the broadcast, he took a look at the data of the two platforms.

Because of the time difference, most domestic viewers stayed up late to watch, but because Panda TV is his base after all, there are many diehard fans, and nearly 200 million viewers persisted until the end.

And when he was most popular, probably in the morning, he reached more than 370 million.

As for foreign countries, because YouTube is late in live broadcasting, and foreign live broadcasts are watched through a subscription payment model.

Viewers can only try it for three hours, and if they want to continue watching, they must pay $4.9 for a one-month subscription.

However, since Chen Xu’s contract with YouTube is only for a single live broadcast, the subscription price of his live broadcast room is $1.

Therefore, even though YouTube users cover the whole world, the number of online users is still not as good as that in China, which is only about 150 million.

The most exasperating thing is that because of the paid subscription model abroad, users rarely have the habit of tipping.

Under the rules of the system, paid subscriptions cannot be exchanged for gold coins.

Forget it, if you can't change it, you can't change it.

At any rate, the five-day live broadcast is over, and according to the June [-]th split that was agreed at the beginning, at least half of the capital's house money can be earned.

After thinking about things, Chen Xu fell asleep directly.

Chapter 3 Encountering Breakfast by Occasion

Early the next morning, Chen Xu chose to get up very early in consideration of the domestic audience and the need to hurry.

Simon received his signal and immediately connected to the live broadcast.

Viewers on the two platforms received the news push at the same time and immediately entered the live broadcast room.

As soon as they entered, they saw Master Xu lying on the bed, yawning and rubbing his eyes, very cute.

From the looks of it, he should have just woken up.

Seeing the audience coming in one after another, Chen Xu smiled and said hello: "Hi everyone, I am Chen Xu, a professional wilderness outdoor anchor, today is my second day in the tropical rainforest of Guatemala, my goal is to Travel through the uninhabited land of nearly 300 kilometers to reach the ancient cannibal heritage tribe in America."

As he spoke, he took out the map from his pocket, "According to my speed yesterday, I almost walked nearly 40 kilometers, which is considered fast, but still not enough for the entire distance. "

"So I have to speed up my pace today, trying to find a big river as soon as possible, so that I can walk by water!"

And just as he finished speaking and was about to get up and get out of bed, a large black scorpion suddenly appeared under his hammock.

This scorpion was at least ten centimeters long, and it was covered by a black carapace. There were two huge and sharp pincers on the front end, and a sharp hook on the tail hanging high.

Chen Xu hurriedly withdrew his feet, pointed at the big scorpion and said, "This is a rainforest scorpion. Fortunately, I slept off the ground last night. Otherwise, I might have been stung by it."

"You know, all scorpions are poisonous, but the toxicity is different. The toxicity of the rainforest scorpion is average. It is not fatal to humans, but it will cause severe pain, so we still have to be careful!"

He got out of bed on the other side, then took out the machete from his waist, and slowly walked behind the rainforest scorpion.

Front!

With one slash, the sharp blade cut directly into the scorpion's body.

Before dying, the rain forest scorpion's scorpion tail instinctively stung the blade, but it was destined to be futile.

"It's fierce! It just so happens that I'm still worried about today's breakfast!"

Chen Xu chuckled, and when the scorpion died, he held down the tail, cut off the poisonous hook and the poisonous sac, and then found a branch, put it on the fire and roasted it.

In just ten minutes, a strange fragrance emerged.

He took the scorpion to his mouth and pulled off one of its legs first.

Through the lens, the audience can even see that the white flesh inside the legs is still emitting wisps of white heat.

"It should be fine!"

Chen Xu tasted a scorpion leg, and then ate the whole scorpion one by one.

"Unexpectedly, this scorpion smells like a lot of fat, which means that it has a lot of animal fat in its body. This is good news. Compared with protein, fat will provide me with more and more direct energy supplements! "

After breakfast, he began to search the nearby jungle.

After a while, he held two things similar to pods, but much larger, at least about twenty or thirty centimeters.

"This is the fruit shell of a large Fagaceae plant, but it has withered, but they are still very hard. We can tie the two of them with vines, so that it becomes a container."

"In the primeval rainforest, fire is very precious, because it was too hard to light a fire last night, so I deliberately burned a few pieces of cycad charcoal on the fire, yes, I decided to take the fire away."

"The burning condition of charcoal is very low. I just need to fill the two shells with semi-wet wild grass, and then tie them up. Only a little gap is exposed, and it will burn slowly by itself. The principle is the same as that made in Syria last time. The cigarette butt heater is about the same."

"But the wood of cycad wood is extremely hard, not as short-burning as cigarette butts. Ancient Indian tribes can burn for a month with a hardwood charcoal one meter long. The pieces of mine burn for at least five or six hours. No problem!"

It took Chen Xu less than 5 minutes to complete all the production.

Then, he straddled the fire on his waist like carrying a satchel, "Fortunately, there is half-wet grass to insulate the heat, otherwise, it would be like carrying a stove."

In the rainforest during the day, with the appearance of the sun, the temperature rises rapidly.

As soon as Chen Xu walked down the river valley, he walked a few hundred meters along the shore, and his entire forehead was already dripping with sweat.

"The weather is getting hotter and hotter. People from the primitive tribes of the American continent will always paint colored mud on their bodies. Apart from being beautiful, they can also act as sun protection. Moreover, the water in the mud can continuously moisturize the skin. When it evaporates, it will also protect the skin." It helps the body dissipate heat.”

"Of course, if you don't like to smear mud, you can also go to the river to wash your face. In short, as long as the body temperature does not exceed 40 degrees, because when the body temperature rises to 40 degrees Celsius, it will cause heat stroke!"

As Chen Xu went downstream, the creek gradually turned into a small river, and the small river became wider and wider.

After digging a hole and adding water, he cut a small tree from the forest and inserted the branch into the water. "It looks like it's about one meter deep. Judging from the width and depth, we can walk by water."

After speaking, he returned to the rainforest.

After searching for more than ten minutes, he finally stood in front of a tall tree with white bark.

"This is it. The balsa wood that is abundant in Central and South America belongs to the kapok family. It has a very big feature, that is, the wood is very soft and very light."

"It can be said that balsa wood is the lightest tree in the world, half as light as the cork oak used as cork, and only weighs 115 kilograms per cubic meter. A normal adult can lift a light weight that is about eight times its own volume. Wood and even more."

"The most important thing is that it is so easy to cut, even if I don't have an ax, I can cut it down with just a machete!"
