Live Wilderness Challenge

"Especially, I have already rejected Galil, so, strictly speaking, we are actually competing now!"

The audience thought about it and thought what he said made sense.

Chen Xu finally made sure that no one was following him, and then returned to his camp.

While walking, he said, "Regardless of whether the location of Galil's camp is true or not, at least we can confirm one thing, that is, the distance between our two teams is very close, otherwise, we wouldn't be hunting for food in the wild." Coincidentally."

"On the first day, with a series of such busy tasks as setting up camp, finding water sources, lighting fires, etc., I don't think anyone would run ten kilometers away to find food, right?"

On the way back, it was almost eight o'clock at night in Argentina.

The surrounding sky was obviously much darker, and the only remaining bit of orange dizziness finally disappeared when Chen Xu arrived near the camp.

Due to the blocking of the line of sight by the mountain peaks and the shading of the dense forest, the dark time is twice as fast as that on the flat ground.

But the embarrassing thing was that when Chen Xu walked through the last bushes and returned to the campsite, there was darkness in front of him.

"List?"

After hearing the voice, Lina immediately stood up holding a stick and asked a question tentatively.

"Don't be nervous, it's me."

Chen Xu hurriedly spread his hands to show his identity, then frowned and said, "The fire hasn't risen yet?"

"Sorry, it is indeed more difficult than I imagined!"

Lina bowed her head and admitted that she was holding the team back.

"Let me come, you help me deal with the spearhead viper, be careful of its snake head, you should understand!"

Chen Xu didn't blame her. In fact, it was useless to blame his teammates at this time. Instead, it would increase resentment in the other party's heart, and finally affect the cooperation of the team.

Lina is an expert in biology. When she heard that it was a lance-head viper, she was a little surprised, "Oh my God, you actually killed a lance-head viper!"

He didn't answer, but went directly to the shack and picked up the branches and dead wood that Lina dropped.

It can be seen that the dead wood was cut from the dead tree trunk, and the branches were dead branches picked up nearby, and some tinder made of dry bark and weeds was piled beside it.

From the material point of view, there is no problem!

Explain that Lena is not lying, she can make fire by drilling wood.

Chen Xu pinched the hole she drilled with his hands, and then pinched it, "This dead wood is a bit wet, it should have been soaked by rain, no wonder you didn't succeed!"

Lina was cutting the snake's head with a stone knife. After hearing this, she froze for a moment, and immediately thought of the quagmire they encountered in the afternoon. Indeed, it must have been raining heavily in the past two days.

"Not only that, there are also many flying insects around, which make me feel uncomfortable all over, and I can't calm down at all!"

While she was talking, Chen Xu slapped a mosquito that was sucking blood on his thigh, "It can't be helped, summer is the breeding season for mosquitoes in the mountains, and this place is far away from the water source. "

"The program group asked us to wear so little and increase the exposed area of ​​the skin. It is precisely because of this that mosquito bites are not fatal, but they are the most tormenting things. As long as the mentality is not stable, it is easy to die in this wilderness quickly collapsed."

"So, we have to light up the fire, otherwise, we won't be able to sleep tonight..."

As soon as he finished speaking, he slapped an insect flying on his face to death again!

8Chapter [-] makes me cry!

Since the core of the dead wood was relatively wet, Chen Xu took advantage of the faint moonlight and picked out a small section of dead wood with tree thorns nearby to make do with it.

No way, night is the world of reptiles.

A large number of poisonous omnivorous reptiles will come out for food, such as scorpions and centipedes.

With such dim light, Chen Xu didn't dare to search for too long in the woods.

After returning to the campsite, he drilled a small hole in the dead wood with a stone knife, then opened his hands, clamped the branches, and began to rub left and right quickly, rubbing the drill wood.

No wonder Lena didn't succeed.

On the one hand, she chose the wrong drill, and on the other hand, these mosquitoes are indeed very disturbing.

Chen Xu had been busy for less than 10 minutes when he was so "buzzed" by the insects flying around his ears that he couldn't concentrate at all.

"Huh... It seems that I haven't drilled wood to make fire in the wild for a long time. I don't use this skill anymore, and my technique has also deteriorated. It seems that I have to pay attention in the future!"

He rubbed it a few more times, but still didn't smell any smoke.

It was only then that the audience realized that this was indeed the case. I don't know when it started, Master Xu seemed to carry flint and steel every time he broadcast live.

With this thing, it is indeed much easier than drilling wood to make fire.

After another few hundred drills, Chen Xu shook his head, "No, my speed is not enough. If this continues, it may take several hours to heat up!"

After saying this, he immediately came to the trunk of a nearby tree, picked up the stone knife, and slashed down.

Many people can't understand, what's the situation, cutting down trees?

Can this stone knife chop such a thick tree? I'm afraid it would take half an hour to chop with an axe!

Unexpectedly, Chen Xu just chopped a few times horizontally and vertically, then grabbed the bark and tore it lightly, pulling a large piece of bark.

"Because it was too dark, we couldn't find suitable wood to start a fire with the fire plow method, but I still have a simple method of starting a fire here, which is the bow drill method!"

As soon as Chen Xu said this, the audience immediately understood.

It turned out that he cut down the tree in order to use the inner bark of the tree to weave rope.

"The vines are too hard and have segments. If they are used in the bow drilling method, the result will be half the effort. Therefore, we can only use bark to weave ropes."

As he spoke, he tore the inner bark of the tree into long and thin strips, then held one end of the two barks with his left hand, and twisted them with his right hand, like hemp rope, weaving continuously.

After the rope was made, Chen Xu found a short branch that was as thick as a finger, fixed one end of the rope to one end, and then circled the dry branch it used to drill wood for fire. Thick branches are bent and fixed with tree ropes.

In this way, a simple "bow" is ready, and the branches are wrapped around the "bowstring"!

For him, who has a full level of tool-making skills, these have long been at his fingertips.

Chen Xu said: "The principle of the bow drilling method is very simple. It is to let the bow body move repeatedly, and use the friction between the rope and the branch to drive the branch to rotate."

"As long as the stability is maintained, the bow drill method is much better than the hand drill method in terms of convenience and speed!"

In the process of speaking, he did not forget to demonstrate it to everyone in person.

As for maintaining stability, Chen Xu used a very simple method, which is to hold a stone knife and press down on the top of the drill tree branch.

In this way, no matter how he pulls the bow, the branches will not run around because of the double fixation of stones and dead wood.

Therefore, Chen Xu began to pull the bow body from slow to fast.

With a "buzzing" friction sound, a burst of smoke also emerged from the contact point of the drill body.

"It's already smoking! It's about to succeed..."

He smiled, and continued to accelerate with his right hand.

In a short while, in the darkness, I saw a little orange-red sparks emerging from the dead wood at the bottom.

"It's on! It's on!"

Chen Xu shouted twice excitedly.

Lina turned her head to look over, her light brown eyes were also full of surprise and joy, as if she didn't expect him to really succeed!

Discovery Channel also knows how to play. When Chen Xu poured sparks into the tinder and lightly blew on the fire, they immediately played a passionate BGM.

It felt like lighting the torch in the Olympics, and the audience was inexplicably excited:

"Nimma, this BGM is going to make trouble!"

"Exploration official: Slot! Cry to me!"

"It's really touching, I'm so excited that I piss out a few drops!"

"Join the Vulcan Cult, believe in Master Xu, and gain eternal life!"

Anyway, Chen Xu finally lit the fire.

On the other side, Lina had already dealt with the spearhead viper, and then stared blankly at it with its sharp fangs.

"what happened?"

Chen Xu came over, skewered the snake meat on a branch, and roasted it on the fire.

The snake meat is more than one meter long and nearly five centimeters wide, which is basically enough for two people to eat.

Lina shook her head, and threw the fangs into the fire, "It's nothing, the venom of the spearhead viper is very powerful, and the body of a human being is so big, hemolysis and festering will begin in less than an hour. Life-saving means in the jungle."

"It's a pity that we don't have the tools and methods to preserve snake venom. In less than 24 hours, these highly poisonous venoms will lose their activity and have no effect."

Chen Xu knew that Lina was afraid of encountering top predators like bobcats, jaguars, and giant pythons. At least before she was eliminated, she might be able to turn the tables with snake venom.

But he knew that with human skills, unless he was particularly good at melee combat, without long-range weapons, let alone injecting snake venom into the bodies of these top predators, it was still unknown whether he could touch them.

Especially the lynx, the ratio of its two hind legs to the whole body can be called the top of the cat family. Its muscles are extremely explosive, and it is even more flexible than a jaguar.

Ordinary people, before reacting, would have been grabbed by the bobcat's neck and killed in one bite.

While eating snake meat, Chen Xu casually told Lina about his encounter with Garyel.

When Lina heard this, she turned her eyes: "The idea he said may not be a method. There are more people, and the strength will indeed be greater. In this way, we can occupy more resources and rob other people's living space."

"After we eliminate them all, we will compete again. Even if there is any accident, at least the ranking will be higher!"

After hearing this, Chen Xu shook his head and smiled, "You're right, I admit that 'numbers are powerful', that's right, according to biology, humans are social animals, and they can only survive better if they cooperate with each other. "

"However, you made a mistake, that is... the purpose of everyone is not for survival, but for ranking and bonuses. Do you think that some people will choose to cooperate for bonuses, so no one will choose to betray for bonuses?" ?”

Chapter 821 Manual Aite Sister-in-Law

Lina only thought for a moment before reacting.

She just thinks that when there are many people, the living conditions will be better when they cooperate, because everyone is good at different directions. In the process of cooperation, they can specialize according to their skills and make full use of human resources.

But in fact, as Chen Xu said, the essence of everyone's cooperation is either to survive, or to get a better ranking and win bonuses.

When interests coexist, everyone may be able to help each other, and the cooperation can be carried out perfectly, but when interests conflict, or when the interests of a single person are higher than the interests of the collective, a single person will break away from the collective, or even destroy the collective, and the cooperation will collapse in an instant .

At the end of the day, it's not really survival.

Material rewards are above all else!

However, when she thought that there were survivors nearby, Lina still felt a little inappropriate: "From the description, we seem to be too close to Galil's team. I'm afraid something might happen. Do you want to consider moving?"

"In theory, there are other survivors nearby, which is indeed a bit disadvantageous to us. But when you just got off the car, you should have heard the driver who was in charge of delivering the guests, right?"

"The distance between each team is only more than two kilometers. We don't know the projection map of the program group, and the planned route of each team's survivors is also random. Moving recklessly, not to mention wasting time and physical strength, may still happen." Meet more teams!"

While Chen Xu was talking, he was preparing to throw the debris from the spearhead vipers that Lina handled into the fire and burn them, lest the bloody smell would be too strong and attract predators.

After all, this time he didn't have an ant nest to burn for cover.

Although he encountered an ant nest before, it was inhabited by Argentine fire ants. Without the protection of thick smoke, Chen Xu did not dare to touch it rashly.

But at that time, finding water was the most important thing. He didn't have the time or thought to drill wood to make fire, just to dig an ant nest.

"I really don't know why the program group arranges the team so densely, to encourage us to have resource conflicts? That's right, it will increase the elimination rate, and it will be more interesting."

Lina said something to herself, and when she saw that Chen Xu was about to throw the snake skin into the fire, she hurriedly stopped and said, "Don't throw this, wash it, it can be used as a water bag in use."

"Tomorrow I will make a water storage tool."

Chen Xu didn't listen to her advice, "In the short term, we won't search in a large area. The portable water bag is not needed for the time being. When the tools are abundant in the future, we can also get them from other creatures."

"But if we keep it now, it would be too insecure to just rely on the fire when the campsite has not been built and there are no protective measures. This is deep in the Argentine forest, and there are too many large beasts... "

He is saying this.

In the woods, there was a sound of shaking of the bushes in response to the occasion:

"rustle……"

All of a sudden, the faces of the two changed drastically at the same time.

At this time, at this place, the only ones who dare to walk around at night are wild beasts living here!

"call……"

At the same time, a faint breathing sound came from the forest.
