Live Wilderness Challenge

After speaking, he noted down the location of the palm bamboo, and began to look for tools for making dart heads.

The direction he chose to search was the location where Titan Konjac was discovered yesterday.

Because there are few creatures close there, the plants grow very luxuriantly and there are many kinds.

About 10 minutes later, he looked happy, pointed to one of the trees that looked like a big pineapple, and said with a smile: "I found it, this is it!"

Some viewers had watched Master Xu’s live broadcast in Guatemala, and they had a good memory, so they immediately recognized that it was a cycad!

"That's right, it's Cycad!"

Chen Xu nodded and looked at it with joy, "Cycad is one of the densest and hardest plants in nature. With it, we can make very hard and sharp dart heads!"

Chapter 679 The True Craftsman

Chen Xu's original plan was to use hard plants such as old bamboo. If he couldn't find any, he could only grind a few dart heads with stones.

Although this takes time, it is much better than "bald head plug".

You must know that no creature that can grow up to three meters long is a fuel-efficient lamp. Either the skin has a thick cuticle or the scales are hard.

Without a sharp dart head, it is generally difficult to cause effective damage.

And Chen Xu didn't have iron on him, only a machete and a tracker.

The latter can barely throw it in the open space. For example, in Kruger before, he used the tracker as the head of the dart and killed a Thomson's gazelle.

But you should know that the situation at that time was that the group of Thomson's gazelles stood very densely and the target was huge, and he threw it in an open space, so the air resistance suffered by the spear dart was almost negligible.

But hunting creatures in the water is different. The target is independent, and it is difficult to aim at first. In addition, it is thrown into the water, which is subject to great resistance from the water flow. If the shape of the spear is not smooth, it is easy to dart in the air.

Therefore, what Chen Xu needs is a spear that meets the streamlined standard, and there is more than one spear, and he needs to prepare multiple hands, just in case!

"That's it!"

Chen Xu grinned, then swung the machete in his hand, and began to chop at the roots of cycads.

click!

With a chopping sound, let alone the military BTK machete, which was invincible before, when it arrived here, it only left a mark of less than two millimeters on the skin of the cycad.

Not to mention that this is a top-level military field machete, it is also a system purple quality equipment, endowed with extra sharpness.

Although the machete is not as powerful as a real axe, but only such a small cut is enough to show the hardness of the cycad!

Fortunately, because it is a purple-quality equipment with a slow recovery attribute, Chen Xu doesn't care whether it can curl the blade or not. Anyway, it will repair itself after leaving the map, so there is no need to feel distressed.

So, after he tried his best to chop down, he finally cut off a piece of cycad.

Looking at the white wood core exposed inside, Chen Xu pulled out the tracker again, cut a few times along the cut, cut out a piece of wood core, took a bite and said: "I told you about this before, Cycad The wood core is very starchy and soft, making it an excellent source of food supplements."

"I was worried that there would be no food supplement in the morning, but now I have it!"

It took him half an hour to cut down the cycad.

After returning to Palm Bamboo, because of the previous experience, chopping this up is as easy as drinking plain water.

It's almost two knives, very easy.

At around nine o'clock in the morning Indonesian time, Chen Xu sat by the fire in front of the shelter and added a lot of burning materials to make the fire brighter.

"The hunting spears used by primitive tribes, the reason why they can hit a hundred shots, on the one hand, relies on proficient skills, and on the other hand, it is the accuracy of the weapon. This thing is the same as the firearms of hot weapons."

"Any object that has something to do with aiming has a rigid requirement, that is, be straight! Because the line of sight is straight, no one will turn to aim, so it is very important to have a straight spear."

While Chen Xu was explaining to the audience, the fire had been rekindled.

So, he picked up one of the brown bamboos.

"As you can see, this palm bamboo is not so straight, and there is a curved part in the middle, but we can use high temperature to soften the bamboo body and reshape it!"

While talking, he put the palm bamboo into the fire and demonstrated it to everyone himself.

After being baked on the hot outer flame for tens of seconds, the green bamboo stems were visibly turning black.

At this time, Chen Xu hurriedly took out the palm bamboo, put it on the ground, stepped on one end with one foot, held the other end with both hands, and gently broke it according to the angle opposite to the bending direction.

"The method is very simple. Use the residual heat from the grill to slightly adjust the angle."

After saying this, Chen Xu took out the brown bamboo, put it flat in his hand, and glanced at it with his eyes to see if the correction was in place.

For him, with LV4 tool-making skills, he is quite handy in dealing with these.

After 10 minutes, there were a total of six palm bamboos, all of which were heated by him and straightened.

"The rest is the dart head. This is also very simple, but it requires patience. Because the cycad is hard, it is difficult to cut out the desired shape with a knife. Therefore, our dart head must ensure the lethality. At the same time, keep it as simple as possible."

"Secondly, we not only need to use a knife to cut it, but we can also use flames to soften it, and then put it on a stone to grind it like iron, so that plasticity will be easier!"

Therefore, Chen Xu also demonstrated to the audience again.

He first cut a whole block of cycad into five parts with a tracker, and then roughly cut out the shape of the dart head.

The shape he chose was a triangular dart head similar to a bow and arrow.

This kind of dart head is the easiest to make, because the shape is simple, and the lethality is also high. Because it is a triangle, once it is pierced into the body, the degree of wound cracking will be greater than that of a single cone.

The next four 10 minutes.

Chen Xu carefully cut the dart heads with a knife, then picked up the dart heads one by one with wooden clips, roasted them in the fire one by one, and polished them on the stone.

Hard work pays off.

At the end of four and 10 minutes, five exquisite charcoal black arrow-shaped spear heads were just made by him.

Finally, Chen Xu inserted the reserved base of the dart head into the air hole of the palm bamboo, then wrapped the outer layer with bark repeatedly, tied it up and fixed it, and a spear gun was completed!

"I give full marks to this hands-on ability!"

"Nima, this is the spirit of a craftsman, a true folk craftsman!"

"If you go down with this dart, you will be disabled if you don't die!"

"A little cold light comes first, and then the gun shoots like a dragon!"

Chen Xu spent a lot of energy making five spear darts and one fishing rod in a row.

Fortunately, after eating the cycad core and resting for a while, he recovered a lot.

At 10 o'clock in the morning in Indonesia, Chen Xu put his backpack on his back, put the pike and fishing rod into the bag along the zipper opening, and started towards the river with a machete in one hand.

At this moment.

The audience looked at Master Xu, he looked like a jungle hunter with primitive weapons on his back, as handsome as he wanted.

About six or seven minutes later, he came to the river again.

It has been two hours since the end of the rainstorm, and the water level of the river is not an exaggeration.

Chen Xu glanced at the bottom of the river, then at the upstream, and finally said: "The water level in the downstream is so low that it is difficult for large-scale biological activities to occur. We have to go upstream to have a look!"

In fact, he chose upstream, and there was another factor to consider.

That is, when returning to the original road, you can make a simple raft and float down from the upper reaches of the river, which can save a lot of energy and time.

Chapter 6 Eighty Mom Asked Why I Kneeled to Look at My Phone

In this way, Chen Xu has more time to research and hunt freshwater creatures.

Then, he began to walk up the valley.

Due to the heavy rain, the ground has become extremely muddy, and it is still uphill, so he is often prone to slipping.

Therefore, when encountering such a difficult slope, he had no choice but to use the toe of his shoe to slam into the soil before each step, and then use his strength.

Sure enough, this small method is very effective.

Two hours passed, that is, around 12 noon Indonesian time.

Chen Xu turned over two hillsides all the way, and came to a cliff waterfall more than ten meters high. Although the width of the river on the bank has decreased, its depth has been increasing, and the current is obviously not as fast as the downstream. few.

"Um... huh..."

He came under the waterfall, drank a few sips of water, then washed his face, and looked around, "The water flow under the waterfall is the most turbulent part of the river, and generally few creatures would choose to move here, because the impact of the water flow is so strong. too strong."

"So, we have to go up the cliff. Judging from the environment we have walked all the way, there are creeks, cliffs, swamps, and rivers first, and now we have encountered cliffs. Together, it is a stepped terrain."

"I speculate that there should be larger rivers or lakes on the cliff, and there are several large rivers in Borneo. There are only three in Indonesia, one running through the north and south, one in the east, and one in the middle."

"Based on the location where I parachuted, we should be approaching this river in central Borneo, which is the Balito River, the third longest river in Borneo."

"The flow direction of the Ballito River is from the central mountains to the southern plains. From this, we can calculate that our current direction should be north!"

Chen Xu's words made the audience in the live broadcast room stunned.

Just relying on a stream or a river, so many things can be deduced, how solid geographical knowledge and spatial memory are needed!

"Nimma, this sense of direction is really awesome, absolutely master of running pictures!"

"Pass the boss a cigarette!"

"Mom asked me why I was kneeling and looking at my phone!"

"Master Xu, why don't you help me with high school geography, my cute girl 36D~~~"

Chen Xu calculated for a moment, and drew a rough topographical map in his mind of the terrain he walked through yesterday and this morning.

When he came back to his senses, he happened to see the last bullet screen under the screen, and he choked, almost spitting out the water in his mouth.

"Ahem! You... are so naughty, I am the anchor of Green Little Fresh!"

Chen Xu coughed twice.

In fact, the reason why he knows so much is because of the knowledge brought by the wilderness peak of the platinum skill on the one hand, and on the other hand, because he checked a lot of relevant information in advance for this mission.

After resting for a while, he found a place with the smallest slope near the cliff, combined with vines, and climbed up with ease.

And when he stood on the cliff, the scene in front of him, as he had guessed before, was a river wider than the downstream.

"It should be the Bartoli River!"

So, Chen Xu continued to walk north along the river bank.

No freshwater creature is stupid enough to move near a waterfall, so he must go deeper into the river.

After walking for less than half an hour, two inflection points suddenly appeared on the river.

There is a fork in the upstream direction of the river. In fact, it doesn't matter which one you take. Anyway, they will converge in the end, because there is only one source.

Chen Xu squinted his eyes, thought for a moment, and pointed to one of the narrower ones with relatively slow water flow, "Let's go this way. Large freshwater creatures like rivers or lakes with wide waters, deep waters, and relatively quiet waters." .”

The result was as he said.

After walking for more than ten minutes, the river forked, and it really brought him into a huge lake!

The lake in front of him was bigger than any lake Chen Xu had seen before. It is no exaggeration to say that he could not see the edge at a glance.

As far as the eye can see, the entire water area is full of turbid yellow water. Except for the lake, even the jungles on both sides have been submerged into swamps.

"Did you see those huge gray trees on both sides of the lake?"

Chen Xu opened his mouth and pointed forward, "These are eucalyptus trees. They are only distributed in Indonesia, New Guinea and Australia. They are tropical evergreen trees."

"A characteristic of eucalyptus is that it absorbs water very well. A 15-meter-high eucalyptus can absorb 1000 catties of water a day on average, which is very scary. Therefore, it can support so many eucalyptus to survive, and it can also develop swamps and lakes so much. The depth of this water area is estimated to be quite terrifying!"

"And this wide and deep water area is exactly where large freshwater creatures like to stay. We will start the capture plan here today!"

After speaking, Chen Xu immediately pulled out the machete, bypassed the nearby swamp, and walked into the depths of the jungle.

"Swimming in such a large lake is too exhausting, so we have to build a simple raft for transportation."

He walked around the jungle, "The best material for making rafts is balsa wood. Unfortunately, it is mainly distributed in the tropical regions of America, and it is rarely distributed in Indonesia. Most of them are transplanted later."

"Borneo is a pristine tropical rainforest. It has not been reclaimed by the government. It is estimated that it is difficult to grow balsa trees only by pollination. Even if there are, there are only a few trees at most. Therefore, we have to focus on the kapok genus."

In the process of talking about this passage, Chen Xu came to a tree that was as thick as a thigh and more than ten meters high.

What surprised the audience was that the branches and leaves of this tree had a lot of greenish-yellow skin and large spiked fruits.

It looks...somewhat like a durian!
