Live Wilderness Challenge

With a short distance of one meter, Chen Xu moved very slowly.

Because snakes have poor eyesight, they can only see moving objects and cannot recognize stationary objects at all. The faster they move, the easier it is to startle them.

A few seconds passed, and Chen Xu finally escaped the attack range of the island viper unharmed.

The audience also breathed a sigh of relief.

But only he himself knows how dangerous the scene just now is. If the island viper really bites, even if he escapes by chance, but if something happens, it will easily alarm the two next to it again!

The most important thing is that where three lancehead vipers can gather, there may be other poisonous snakes around.

If everyone is alarmed, then they are really dead!

"Island lancehead vipers are very rare. Only Viper Island is distributed in the world. We were very lucky to meet three of them at once. It is precisely because of their rarity that they are often hunted and killed by poachers. However, Viper Island The danger is high, and poachers are often bitten by other venomous snakes before they find them."

"So, under the constraints of this dangerous environment, the price of an island lancehead viper has been sold to more than [-] US dollars by the black market!"

After leaving the dangerous bush just now, Chen Xu popularized a few words about the island viper.

When the audience heard the price of those snakes, their eyes widened.

They never imagined that the total value of the three poisonous snakes just now was close to 100 million RMB!

"It's really not as good as a snake series!"

"Local gold is always more expensive than ordinary color!"

Chen Xu walked for a while.

Due to the danger of Viper Island, the environment on this island has hardly been damaged by humans. It is very primitive and the jungle is extremely dense.

The canopy of tall trees blocked the sunlight, making it difficult for him to recognize the direction.

After walking for a while, he picked up his engineering shovel, chopped off a water vine, and poured a few mouthfuls of water, "Well... the environment here is like a steamer, stuffy and hot, I have to find a way to find a water source. "

"However, it's past five o'clock now, and it will be completely dark in another hour or so. I have to build a camp as soon as possible!"

After speaking, he observed the surrounding terrain.

Finally, Chen Xu found one of the tall trees, and said with a slight smile, "It seems that our campsite for tonight is settled!"

Chapter 477 How can a tree make a hammock?

The audience couldn't understand the arbor that Master Xu was pointing at.

"Isn't this just an ordinary tree, is it possible that Lord Xu wants to sleep directly on the top?"

"Probably not, it's just a branch, it's easy to fall!"

"I guess Lord Xu wants to build a ladder bed between two trees, he has done this before!"

Chen Xu looked at the barrage posted by the audience, and said with a smile: "Someone guessed half right, that's right, I really want to make a hammock, because there are many poisonous snakes and poisonous insects on Viper Island, so if you don't want to sleep until midnight If a bunch of poisonous snakes bite you to death, you must never sleep on the ground!"

"However, even if you build a ladder bed on an arbor, there is a danger of being crawled in by poisonous snakes, because snakes have the ability to climb trees, so I am going to make a high hammock this time, and I only use an arbor !"

After hearing this, many people in Dudu couldn't figure out how to make a hammock with a tree!

The next moment, Chen Xu put his backpack on the ground, then took the engineering shovel and began to search for the surrounding small trees.

It has to be said that the rainforest is always the most precious green treasury of nature.

Because there are too many materials here.

He took a few steps casually, and found several palm trees as thick as arms.

Because of the engineer's shovel, it was easier for Chen Xu to chop than with a dagger. After a few shovels, the palm tree's roots were missing a large piece.

Afterwards, he jumped up directly, grasping the crown of the tree in mid-air, and shook it vigorously downward.

After hearing a few clicks, the tree trunk was crushed by Chen Xu.

The audience looked completely dumbfounded. They had never seen Master Xu "cut down trees" in such a brutal way.

But it must be admitted that this method is very fast.

In a few moments he chopped down three palm tree trunks in succession.

Chen Xu took a few breaths, then cut a few finger-thin rattan sticks with a dagger, and brought them over.

"The high hammock I made is very simple. I just smoothed the three tree trunks, arranged them in a triangle, and fastened them with rattan!"

While speaking, he demonstrated to the audience himself.

After 10 minutes, he tied the entire frame firmly, "Next, I will use vines to weave a lattice in the middle of the triangle bed frame so that I can sleep on it, and put a lot of fern leaves to come. Increased comfort!"

"However, we must hurry up, it will be dark soon!"

In the end, Chen Xu's speed also accelerated.

And just as he was chopping down those ferns with an engineer shovel, suddenly, a black shadow suddenly appeared in the grass!

Chen Xu reacted extremely quickly, and with a backsliding step, he opened the distance in an instant.

However, a snake with black diamond-shaped stripes landed on the spot where he was just now!

so close!

This snake is probably not a particularly aggressive snake, so it quickly burrowed towards the nearby bushes after failing to hit it.

Obviously frightened and fled.

"See, the distribution of snakes on Viper Island is really too dense!"

Chen Xu shook his head and smiled, then picked up those ferns, took them all back, and spread them on the lattice woven by vines.

"The last and most critical step, I need to tie up the corners with strong rattan, and finally pull them up to form a strip. This is our hanging point!"

As he spoke, he found three vines, tied them to the corners of the three bed frames, gathered them together, and pulled them up.

Not to mention, with Chen Xu's pull, the three vines left the ground with the three corners of the bed frame.

In this way, a triangle hammock is ready!

The audience were amazed and had to admire Master Xu's hands-on ability!

"This kind of high hammock is often suitable for steep mountains and cliffs. The advantage of using it here is that it only needs an arbor to hang, and it is completely separated from the trunk, which greatly reduces The danger of poisonous snakes climbing up!"

"Because snakes have the ability to climb trees, but they don't have feet. Therefore, the higher the tree they climb, the thinner the branches are, and the winding power and the number of turns of the loincloth are multiplied!"

"As for the thickness of vines, few snakes dare to climb over, because they are afraid that they will fall. Animals are afraid of heights. For them, safety is far more important than predation!"

After explaining, Chen Xu twisted the three vines together like a twist, then grabbed them and came to the arbor he had chosen.

Only now did the audience understand why Master Xu chose this tree.

Because first of all it is tall enough, and secondly, it has a very thick and strong branch.

Master Xu can hang this triangular hammock there.

In this way, the entire hammock is completely suspended, and, except for the suspension points, the entire bed frame will not have any contact with the trunk of the tree!

"Now, I have to climb this tree and hang the vine from that branch!"

Chen Xu looked at the branches of the tree, grabbed the three vines with one hand, and slowly matched his feet with the other hand, and began to climb up the tree.

However, before that, he carefully observed the entire arbor, for fear that there might be other poisonous snakes on it.

Due to the hot and humid climate of the tropical rainforest, some of the trees here will grow a lot of moss, which is very slippery, and it is difficult to step on it with hands and feet.

It took Chen Xu a lot of effort to climb to the top of the tree.

After throwing the cane over, he was relieved and started to get down from the tree.

It doesn't matter this time, a white object in the tree branch attracted him.

Chen Xu frowned, clamped the white object with his fingers, pulled it lightly, and pulled out a "fat" worm!

"Damn it, it's so disgusting!"

"I think this is the one with the most refreshing taste among all the recipes of Master Xu!"

"Hahaha, as soon as I arrived in the tropics, I guessed that there would be a giant worm coming!"

Different from the joyful barrage of the audience, Chen Xu's expression was slightly serious, and he was not excited about finding food.

Some viewers couldn't help teasing Master Xu's high-sightedness. With snakes, even big worms can't even look down on them!

He shook his head and said, "It's not about food! I've told you about many kinds of insect larvae. Most of them are parasitic in tree trunks, eating away the nutrients of trees."

"If it was normal, I might be very excited to see them, but now, there are insect larvae parasitizing this arbor, which means that this arbor is not strong, and it is likely that these larvae have eaten away the inside!"

"I don't know how many of these things are in the trunk, but anyway, I don't want to sleep in the middle of the night, turn over, click, and fall from the tree!"

Chapter 478 The Insects Lying on the Gun

The audience thought about it and thought it made sense.

Since there are bugs in the tree trunk, if it happens to gnaw on the branch Xu Ye used as a support point, it is indeed easy to break.

But it is such a small detail that is easily overlooked by many people.

Chen Xu sighed, "Moreover, this kind of larva has very high protein and nutrient content, and it is a favorite food for many snakes. If I sleep on this tree, I will easily be accidentally injured!"

"It's such a pity, I wasted so much effort to climb up to hang the rattan, but it didn't work at all, it's all your fault!"

The last sentence, he said to the white larva.

After speaking, it stuffed the bug into its pocket.

"666, Master Xu is still Master Xu, nothing has changed, food cannot be wasted!"

"Insect larvae: Nima, BB has been nagging me for a long time, I thought you were going to let me go!"

"Haha, I guess that worm is still in a daze until now!"

"Master Xu is so brave! If I were me, I wouldn't dare to put a live worm in my pocket. Just thinking about it wriggling around my legs would give me goosebumps all over my body!"

When the audience sent out the barrage, Chen Xu had already climbed down the tree trunk.

No way, this arbor cannot be used, so he can only find other hammock spots.

By this time, the sky had begun to turn dark.

Different from the general tropical rainforest, there is no animal roar here, only the chirping of insects, and the occasional "rustling" sound from the jungle, which is considered to be a little scary.

But these "rustling" sounds stimulate your nerves all the time, warning you that there are dangerous poisonous snakes everywhere!

Reluctantly, with the last light, he found some dry grass, lit it with a flint, then cut down a palm tree trunk from the side, and made a torch with oily nuts.

With the firelight, the atmosphere finally became much better.

It is often when it is dark that people really realize the importance of lighting a fire.

Just like just now, if Master Xu didn't light a fire, the feeling of being confused in the dark dense jungle would be too scary!

Afterwards, Chen Xu made another half-circle, and finally found another suitable tree 5 meters away.

The reason why it is "pretty appropriate" is because he dare not go further.

If it is said that driving in the wild at night is a dangerous behavior, then driving in the wild on Poisonous Snake Island is purely courting death.

Don't say it's dark now, it's daytime, when the light is good, it's easy to step on poisonous snakes!

After struggling to hang the rattan up again, Chen Xu climbed down, grabbed it with both hands, and pulled the hammock up with all his strength!

"Um... huh..."

Fortunately, the hammock was not heavy, and after a few strokes, he finally hung it on the branch.

"Master Xu panting with honey juice!"

"I always feel that Master Xu will fall if he turns over in the middle of the night!"

"To be able to sleep in a hammock on Viper Island, I guess Master Xu is the only one in the world, right?"

After Chen Xu tied the rattan to the tree trunk, he looked at the bullet screen and said with a smile: "Actually, you are right, although I am not the first to land on Viper Island, but if I dare to hunt for treasure in Viper Island , and stayed overnight, I was the first!"

After speaking, he picked up the torch stuck on the ground, collected the dead branches and weeds nearby with an engineering shovel, and made a fire.

Afterwards, he took out the copperhead viper that he hacked to death in the afternoon, and after a brief treatment, he put it on the fire and roasted it.
