Live Wilderness Challenge

"Let's go and see how the fishing traps we set up last night are harvested. If we fail, we will see if there is anything to eat on the way!"

As he walked, he looked around.

After walking for more than ten minutes, Chen Xu suddenly found a yellow fruit in front of him, and his eyes lit up.

"It seems that God has started to transfer my luck, and let me meet a wild cocoa tree!"

"It is one of the most economically valuable tree species in the sycamore family. It is a tropical specialty in America. The fruit can be used to make beverages and chocolate candies. It is rich in nutrition, mellow and fragrant."

The audience looked at the yellow, wrinkled fruit, and became interested:

"This is Cocoa? Why does it look like a carambola?"

"Didn't you say that cocoa is made of chocolate? It doesn't look like it. Could it be that when you bite it out, there is black chocolate inside?"

"Wow! There is such a magical fruit with chocolate in it?"

"My God, how do you learn geography and biology, and even take a bite of liquid chocolate, isn't chocolate made from cocoa beans?"

Chen Xu looked at the barrage and almost laughed out loud, "That's right, some viewers are right, chocolate is the seed of the cocoa fruit, that is, it is made from cocoa beans, and has nothing to do with the pulp."

As he said that, he pulled a fruit from the tree and opened it with his hands. Inside was a pale pink sticky pulp, which was very soft and looked a bit like durian pulp.

After taking one bite, he immediately closed his eyes, and all the facial features were pulled together.

The audience was taken aback, is this delicious or not?

It lasted for a full three or four seconds before Chen Xu regained his composure and took a deep breath, "Phew...it's so sour! But after the sourness passes, there's a faint sweetness, and it tastes just like when I was a child It's like the sour candy you eat!"

"It seems that the sweet and delicious cocoa fruit we usually eat should have been improved by botanists for several generations. The most primitive cocoa fruit is still very sour."

"Although the taste is not particularly good, the energy rich in its pulp is amazing. Its fat, starch, and crude fiber content together account for 70.00% of the entire pulp, which is an excellent energy supplement!"

After eating a few pieces of cocoa pulp, Chen Xu picked out a brown seed from the fruit, "Have you seen it? This is the seed of cocoa, cocoa bean, because it is very rare, and it is found in many ancient tribes in America. It is also used as currency in

"The nutritional content of cocoa beans is very high. The processed beverage is known as one of the three major beverages in the world. The most important thing is that it contains caffeine, theobromine, tannin and other chemical substances that excite the nerve center. .”

"Among them, theobromine and caffeine can stimulate the cerebral cortex, eliminate drowsiness, enhance the sense of touch and thinking, and adjust the function of the heart. Even if I didn't sleep well last night, as long as I have these two cocoa beans, I can quickly eliminate my anxiety. fatigue!"

After the introduction, Chen Xu smiled slightly, threw the cocoa bean into his mouth, and chewed vigorously.

While chewing, he enjoyed the thick mellow aroma from the cocoa beans.

After all, it is the raw material for making chocolate. It is rich in cocoa butter and cocoa powder, which almost tastes like chocolate.

Unexpectedly, one was not enough, so Chen Xu brought another one.

Seeing Master Xu's expression of comfort, the audience in the live broadcast room all over the world couldn't sit still:

"Fuck, Master Xu's expression is too exaggerated, I really want to have a taste!"

"Dove, enjoy silky smoothness!"

"When it comes to taking drugs, I only obey my Lord Xu!"

"It's the first time I've seen chocolate beans, and I'm so excited, it feels better than smoking marijuana!"

"Master Xu: One cocoa bean, you can go up to the fifth floor in one go, without any effort!"

I don't know if it's the caffeine that takes effect quickly, or whether it's a psychological effect.

After eating the whole cocoa fruit, Chen Xu only felt that his whole body was more energetic, "This cocoa fruit is really good, but unfortunately, there is only such a tree, and I will take the last one with me, and save it for eating on the road!"

Picking the last fruit, he came to the bank of the river.

Thinking of the trap set last night.

He walked to the tree and gently tugged on the vine. In order to prevent it from being pulled off by the fish again, he deliberately changed the thickness of his finger this time, and people couldn't stop pulling it, let alone the fish.

But when he pulled the trap up.

The scene in front of them made the audience completely dumbfounded!

Chapter 3 Dangerous places everywhere

The trap is empty, and one side even rots open.

But what really stunned the audience was that there were a lot of flesh and internal organs hanging from the thorn vines in the whole trap, just like the scene of a car accident, bloody and bloody, which looked particularly terrifying.

Chen Xu frowned slightly as he looked at the bloody trap.

After a while, he analyzed: "It seems that we should have achieved results last night, but we were also targeted by other carnivorous fish in the river. Look at the broken part, the cut is very neat. , indicating that it was bitten off, it seems that the teeth of this fish are very sharp."

"It's also thanks to the toxin contained in the thorny vine. After it should have been hit, it didn't dare to bite again. It ate the fish directly from the broken mouth, and then after the river washed, everything from the fish bones flowed through the gap. After going out, only this intestine is left."

While he was speaking, the audience fantasized about the scene of fighting at the bottom of the river.

Not to mention, looking at this flesh and blood trap is really scary.

Chen Xu threw the trap straight away, and looked at the river, "It seems that the water in this river is not smooth, we have to be careful today, but before we go, I have to make a wooden pulp first!"

Wood pulp is fine to make.

He directly chopped a two-meter-long palm tree trunk with a machete, flattened the whole trunk, removed the bark, and split a branch vertically at one end.

Then he found another cork and chopped off a whole plank.

Because the wood is soft, he could easily carve out the shape of the paddle and cut a vertical groove at the bottom.

Finally, Chen Xu aligned the groove of the paddle with the branch of the stick, inserted it like this, and then wrapped it up and down dozens of times with the vine, and it was done once.

He came to the water's edge, stroked a few times, and felt the resistance from the tree stick, indicating that the effect of the stroke was not bad.

"Let's go!"

Chen Xu said something to the camera, then tied everything to the boat, pushed it into the water, and started the river journey again.

"Today is the third day I have traveled through the rainforest in Guatemala. I am now in the lowland rainforest in the north, heading to the south along the Cahab River System. It is estimated that the distance to the destination is less than half."

"According to my calculations, this afternoon, tomorrow at the latest, we will arrive at the crocodile habitat marked on the map by the program."

After paddling for a long time, the river ahead began to become turbulent.

This greatly accelerated his traveling speed, but at the same time, the danger also began to rise sharply.

Especially in some turning torrent areas, there are many landslides caused by previous heavy rains, and those huge rocks just fell into the river.

They are the deadliest. Although it looks like there are only small rocks coming out, once they hit it, the first thing to fall apart is definitely the raft.

While stabilizing his body, Chen Xu put the kindling in his backpack. Anyway, there are weeds and shells wrapped outside, so he is not afraid of burning the bag.

Then he began to stand in the middle of the raft with his feet apart, one behind the other.

"When you use a raft to advance in the rapids, you can stand like me with your feet shoulder-width apart and one in front of the other. Most of the gestures and footsteps are like this."

"The reason why all fighting styles choose this standing posture is that it has excellent balance and stability. If you still can't handle it, you can also choose to squat or sit to lower the center of gravity!"

While Chen Xu was explaining, there was a sudden sharp turn ahead.

He immediately squatted on the raft, holding his sides firmly with his hands.

Waves of the river rushed over, soaking his shoes and trousers.

He crooked and nearly fell into the water.

And just when he had stabilized his center of gravity again, there was a huge momentum in front of him!

It's an undercurrent!

Snapped!

The undercurrent slapped on Chen Xu and his raft, and the powerful force of the water directly overturned his raft.

Pfft!

With a sound of waves, Chen Xu also fell into the water!

"Ugh..."

In the undercurrent, he squeezed the wooden paddle, jumped out of the water, looked in the direction of the raft, and swam desperately towards it.

The audience looked at this tense time period with trepidation.

Not only the fierce large carnivorous fish in the river, but the most important thing is that there are talc rocks all around. If you are not careful, you can easily bump into it. With the force of the current in front of you, it is enough to touch your body with cuts and bruises.

Finally, Chen Xu grabbed hold of the raft, and then he stopped resisting, and obediently floated along the force of the undercurrent.

Some viewers didn't understand why Master Xu didn't swim to the shore quickly.

However, some old viewers who followed up from the first live broadcast knew that Master Xu was washed by an undercurrent once in the river of Daxing Eucalyptus Ridge.

The experience he taught everyone at that time was, don’t try to fight against the undercurrent, just keep calm and don’t choke on the water, and the undercurrent will naturally take you out of trouble in the end.

Sure enough, after rushing for a while, Chen Xu surfaced.

Then, at the first moment, he straightened the raft and climbed aboard immediately.

Fortunately, after so many live broadcasts, he has rich experience in crossing the river, so he has always held the wooden pulp tightly in his hand and never dropped it.

Otherwise, there is no wood pulp in such a turbulent river, just like a full-speed car without a steering wheel, it is very dangerous!

After stabilizing his figure, Chen Xu hurriedly took off the backpack on his body, unzipped the zipper, and took out the fire.

Although his outdoor backpack is waterproof, this kind of waterproof refers to rainproof, and he cannot directly jump into the river or sea.

Fortunately, the time he fell into the water was not too long, and not much water entered the backpack, and with the protection of the shell, the charcoal was still burning and smoking.

"Phew...it was too dangerous just now. The undercurrent took me by surprise. Don't underestimate the water flow. In 12, a flood occurred in the rainforest of Guatemala. Three people in a village, including the car and others, were all overturned into the water. In the river, it is enough to illustrate the great power of the current."

"However, the advantage of the turbulent river is that my speed just now reached at least 35 kilometers per hour. In the 10 minutes just now, it was almost three times my usual speed!"

After being safe, Chen Xu breathed a sigh of relief, and said something to the camera of the drone.

"No wonder it's called Guatemala, it turns out that there are dangerous places everywhere!"

"666, isn't Hong Kong a particularly fragrant port?"

"Master Xu's long-lost satirical story!"

Then, he continued rowing for more than two hours.

By noon, the weather started to get scorching hot again.

The clothes that were originally soaked have long been replaced by sweat.

Helpless, Chen Xu had no choice but to park the raft on the shore and enter the jungle to escape the heat.

The cocoa fruit he brought in the morning had been eaten by him as a food supplement halfway, and he had to find new food.

Chapter 3 Seventeen Top Carnivorous Killers in America

When entering the jungle, Chen Xu seemed much more comfortable.

Because his lv5 cross-country heavy crossing skill is two levels higher than his lv3 combat diving skill, it can naturally bring him more safety and confidence.

It is closer to the middle and lower reaches, and there are fewer people, so the rainforest here looks very primitive.

Or to use the barrage that audiences always like to post, this is the real virgin forest.

The oxygen content of the primeval forest is the highest in the world, so, under the precipitation of time and environment, every creature and plant here has evolved to perfection.

In addition, the temperature is high and the humidity is high, so the fog here is always transpiring, like a fairyland.

Huge trees can be seen everywhere in the forest, each of which is 30 meters high. The weird huge roots, like octopus tentacles, pass through the bottom of other trees and stretch along the ground, often occupying only one tree. What a big place.

The lush branches and leaves will build an airtight canopy in mid-air, enclosing the inside tightly.Whatever happened, the jungle will cover up the traces left behind.

Below the wet layer of leaves on the ground is often slippery mud and rotting wood.

Clusters of vines and messy crawling plants make walking more difficult. Some weeds have even grown to half a person's height. If you get inside, it will be like the subway in Kyoto, so crowded that you can't move at all.

Chen Xu had no choice but to look for muddy ground where he could accommodate himself. When encountering bushes or weeds that he couldn't get around, he used a machete to forcibly cut a path.

After only walking for 10 minutes, his breath has already become thicker:

"Huh... this kind of area that has not been opened up by civilization, because there are no primitive tribes and human explorers have opened up, there is no real road at all, so it will be many times more difficult than the previous road!"

"I remember that in 14, a small passenger plane from Southeast Asia crashed over the virgin rainforest of Costa Rica in Central America. Everyone in the cabin died, but there was an American man who managed to survive."

"On the second day after the incident, the aviation center confirmed the crash and organized a rescue team urgently, and found him that day. Do you know how far he has traveled in a day in this primitive rainforest?"
