Live Wilderness Challenge

"Ding! The new map mission has been released, and the host can check it in the system's taskbar at any time!"

Lu Yao couldn't hear this voice.

All she saw was that Chen Xu seemed to be distracted suddenly, and immediately stared blankly at the top without doing the barbell.

You know, Chen Xu is now doing heavy bench presses to stimulate the chest muscles, triceps, and anterior deltoid muscles. Therefore, Lu Yao is above Chen Xu's head, holding the barbell with both hands to prevent him from swaying.

And Chen Xu was so dazed that he was staring at the two heavy round bumps on Lu Yao's chest. She was wearing a pink tight vest and black tight shorts today.

"It's a big weight, you concentrate on it!"

It's not that Lu Yao is afraid of his gaze, but she is afraid that if Chen Xu is distracted, the barbell will fall and hit his neck.

And with such a heavy weight, she couldn't bear it at all.

"Take a rest first."

Chen Xu's distraction was only for a second. After putting down the barbell, he stood up, wiped his sweat, and subconsciously entered the system task bar, "You do bench press first, and I'll go drink some water."

After speaking, he took the opportunity to pick up the water glass and went to the window sill.

At this time, the new task issued by the system also appeared in front of his eyes:

Mission Name: Man-eating Dark Forest

Mission location: Indonesia, the pristine tropical rainforest of Borneo

Map attribute: rainforest map

Map Difficulty: Platinum Two Stars

Mission restrictions: only system items can be entered

Task Reward: Platinum Gift Box x 1, the simulated driving range system is activated

Main task [-]: Live broadcast in the wilderness for seven days and survive successfully

Mission reward: unknown

Time limit: fifteen days

Rainforest wilderness?Survival mission?

Chen Xu frowned slightly. Since the system moved from novice missions to platinum difficulty, among the four types of missions "Survival, Survival, Travel, and Search", "Search" is the most difficult, followed by "Survival".

Maybe some outdoor people will say, how good is the survival of the rainforest, the resources are the most in all outdoor wilderness maps, as long as you have the strength to search, you will basically not lack tools and food.

But everything has two sides.

The rainforest map is also the one with the highest biodiversity among all map types. Countless snakes, insects, rats and ants run on land and swim in water, at least dozens of times, or even hundreds of times, than forest, desert, and snow mountain maps. times!

Chapter 654 The Physiological Crushing of Jungle Beasts

There are many rainforest maps that Chen Xu has visited, including the Xishuangbanna Tropical Rainforest in Yunnan and the Guatemala Tropical Rainforest.

Strictly speaking, Grand Kemada Island is actually in the tropical rainforest area, and all three, without exception, are very dangerous.

The biodiversity of the rainforest map is too strong, and there are countless creatures that threaten humans. If it is combined with survival tasks, the difficulty will almost double.

Not to mention, Xishuangbanna in Yunnan and Guatemala are just small rainforests, while Borneo is part of the Indonesian rainforest plate!

There are three major tropical rainforest plates in the world, from large to small, namely: Amazon, Congo Basin, and Indonesia.

Although Indonesia only ranks last, its scale is far larger than the small-scale rainforests of Xishuangbanna and Guatemala.

It can be said that there is the real depth of the original rainforest, almost a new world isolated from the world!

The various species in it have not even been fully discovered by the world, and it is extremely difficult to survive and survive!

As for the first mission, it mentioned hunting a freshwater beast alone, and its body length should not be less than three meters.

Weird throat beep!

This system is like pinching his culprit to set tasks. He knows that what he is best at is land combat, relying on sprint burst and speed advantages.

As for combat in the water, he didn't learn any additional skills other than one underwater military operation classified under the skill group of the special department.

Moreover, even if he learned the relevant underwater skills, it would not be able to make up for the physiological gap. Human beings are mammals and live on land, so they are born unable to compare with aquatic creatures.

At this time, if you change the map to Amazon and Congo Basin, hunting crocodiles may be a good choice.

After all, crocodiles can be lured ashore, and when on land, Chen Xu can give full play to his advantages.

However, the map specified by this system happened to be Borneo.

A considerable part of the distribution of crocodiles in Borneo is occupied by a crocodile called the estuarine crocodile.

Of course, this estuarine crocodile has another name: Saltwater crocodile!

The largest reptile in the world, with an average body length of four to six meters, weighing more than one meal, Guinness World Records, the maximum body length is 6.48 meters!

More than six meters!

What kind of concept is that, almost equivalent to a car!

Even lions and tigers are no match for this estuarine crocodile. If Chen Xu rushed up, it might not be enough to give him teeth!

This is no longer a technique that can make up for it. The physiological gap is too big, and it has already formed a crush.

Unless using hot weapons, Chen Xu is no match for the estuarine crocodile with cold weapons alone.

The crocodiles were removed, and all that remained were the freshwater monsters hiding under the river.

Giant man-eating catfish, giant bighead fish, six-bearded catfish, etc., which of these bloodthirsty monsters are not three or four meters long and weigh hundreds of kilograms, it is easy to overturn a small wooden boat with a hard push.

And the moment you fall into the water, what greets you is a terrifying doomsday!

Compared to estuarine crocodiles, they are not so easy to hunt.

difficult...

Chen Xu pursed his lips and looked around the window with his eyes, but his heart was always thinking about this survival mission.

Even if it wasn't for an emergency rescue mission, the platinum gift package and the simulated training ground system alone were enough to arouse his interest from the bottom of his heart.

And at this moment, a strange feeling hit her back.

Someone is approaching!

Subconsciously, Chen Xu narrowed his eyes and turned his head quickly.

Unexpectedly, it was Lu Yao.

Lu Yao had already finished a set of bench press training. Taking advantage of the rest time, she wanted to chat with Chen Xu, but when she turned her head, he was still drinking water by the window.

Looking at his frowning and pensive look, there must be something on his mind that is bothering him.

So, she just came over and wanted to ask if she could help share a little.

As a result, before Lu Yao came to him and shouted, Chen Xu turned around first, with a fierce expression and a very fierce look.

"It is you……"

As soon as he saw a familiar face, Chen Xu's muscles relaxed, and the breath in his chest also dissipated.

"What happened, so serious?"

To be honest, Lu Yao was really taken aback.

There is no way, Chen Xu has been tense in the wilderness for a long time, and his senses are extremely sensitive. Once this mission comes out, he will naturally be put into that dangerous environment, and he will inevitably be nervous.

This situation is actually similar to that of some battlefield veterans.

Veterans who have participated in the Vietnam War and the Afghanistan War are also easily surprised when they return to urban life.

In some serious cases, when they hear the sound of firecrackers, they will subconsciously draw their guns and knives, and some even sleepwalk in the middle of the night, thinking that they are still on the battlefield, thereby threatening the safety of their families.

Although Chen Xu wasn't that serious, he still couldn't control some of his instinctive reactions to the crisis.

Hearing Lu Yao's greeting, Chen Xu wanted to subconsciously say "It's okay", but when he thought of the change in the relationship between the two, he changed his words: "It's nothing, I'm going to live broadcast to Borneo in Indonesia next time."

"Now I'm thinking about what kind of challenge to set for myself when the time comes."

Although the system tasks can't be said, but Lu Yao is his girlfriend after all, and the general things should be shared truthfully, this is also to prevent her from worrying.

"I see. Borneo is also called Kalimantan, right? I have been there on a business trip. The scenery is very beautiful and the beach is soft. It is very suitable for vacation."

"The tropical rainforest on the island is very dense, rich in species, and there are ancient cannibal tribes. There are many interesting points to challenge. Don't worry, think slowly, and don't put so much pressure on yourself."

When Lu Yao heard this, the corners of her mouth curled up. While talking, she stretched out her small hands, put them on Chen Xu's shoulders, and kneaded them gently.

After a while, she turned her head slightly, and asked with concern: "Are you tired, why don't you come here first today?"

Feeling the slight numbness from his shoulders and Lu Yao's sweet and soft words of concern, Chen Xu seemed to feel that all the irritability in his head was thrown out at once, and it was indescribably comfortable.

No wonder "heroes have been saddened by the beauty pass since ancient times", some comfort is indeed irreplaceable.

"It's okay, it's still early, I haven't practiced the core strength of my waist and abdomen today."

With that said, Chen Xu returned to the equipment area.

Seeing this, Lu Yao had no choice but to accompany him.

And during the rest of the training interlude, Chen Xu couldn't help thinking that this mission, whether it was species or hunting, was not a small problem.

When mentioning creatures, a person suddenly flashed in his mind: Sergey!

Professor of Biology at Stanford University in the United States, focusing on unpopular and Paleozoic biology!

Chapter 655 Departure, Stanford

No matter how strong Chen Xu's wilderness skills are and how much he knows about wild creatures, he still can't compare with those professors who specialize in the field of biology. Not to mention, this Sergey is still the world's second-biggest in comprehensive strength and the number one in biology at Stanford Biology professor!

Maybe, I can ask him to help me feel the bottom of Borneo?

What he was really worried about was the ferocious freshwater beast that Mission [-] required to hunt.

And those freshwater giants that can grow more than three meters, without exception, all have the blood of ancient creatures, especially the estuarine crocodile, which is known as the existence of "ancient living fossils".

Coincidentally, although Sergey failed to invite him to join his research group, he left his contact information and said that he would have the opportunity to come to Stanford's School of Biotechnology to give a few public lectures.

Thinking of this, Chen Xu suddenly decided to go to the United States to find Sergey and make some preliminary preparations before the mission started.

Platinum two-star difficulty, this is no joke!

So, after training his abdominal muscles, he told Lu Yao that he wanted to go to Stanford to talk to Sergey.

Lu Yao did not stop him, but was very supportive.

After all, she felt in her heart that with the help of a world-leading academic professor, not only would she be able to better help Chen Xu set up challenges for the live broadcast, but it would also reduce his danger.

But, unfortunately, because Lu Yao had to stay at the magazine to work, she couldn't go with him.

Chen Xu smiled slightly, held her hand, and expressed that he would come back as soon as possible.

In this way, after he came out of the gym, he immediately contacted Wu Tong and asked the studio to help him apply for an Indonesian visa as soon as possible.

As for his US visa.As early as when cooperating with Weiss and Simon of the Discovery Channel, for the sake of convenience, he had already applied for a basic work visa. Within three years, except for the Hawaiian Islands, he could enter and leave the US border at will.

Then, contact Sergey.

But considering the time difference in the United States and Sergey's age, he chose to wait until evening to call.

time does not wait.

That night, after having dinner with Lu Yao, Chen Xu was sent to the airport by her, booked first class on United Airlines, and flew straight to San Francisco.

Before leaving, he finally contacted Sergey.

At this time, he was watching the news in the office, and when he heard that Chen Xu was coming, he was very happy, and said that he and the students had completely become his "fans".

Especially in the live broadcast on Grand Kemada Island, his understanding of snakes was very flexible, even better than many doctoral students who followed the script, so I really wanted him to come and give an open class.

Regarding this, Chen Xu also said a few words politely, saying that he would visit Stanford in the next two days.

After hanging up the phone, he didn't forget to contact Weiss, Terry, and Simon. After all, they are partners and friends, and it's not good to go to the United States without notifying them.

Moreover, he also has a little "selfishness" of his own, and wants to use Weiss and his network in the United States on the Discovery Channel to find two outdoor experts who are good at wild travel and wild fishing, and exchange skills in catching freshwater creatures.
