Chapter 305 Rainforest Sovereign, Sword Slaying Dragon
After explaining, Chen Xu found a stick from the river and used it to dig a hole near the bank.
It was exactly as he said.
After two or three minutes, a lot of water had seeped out of the mud pit, and it was very clear. At least, it looked much better than the yellow stream.
Afterwards, Chen Xu lay down directly on the ground, stretched out his head and sucked a few mouthfuls.
After replenishing the water, when he was standing halfway up, suddenly, on the hillside opposite the creek, a brown and black dull head emerged from an inconspicuous soil hole.
It is about ten centimeters in size. From the appearance, it looks a bit like a hamster, but with a bigger head, very short ears and limbs, and no neck. The most obvious feature is that the cheek pouches on both sides are particularly bulging, which looks fat Incomparable.
As soon as it got out, many viewers were mesmerized by that dazed look and fat body.
"Looks like I'm in luck. It's an American gopher. It got its name from the fact that it has a huge cheek pouch, somewhat like a hamster, but bigger. The gochuj was one of the hunting objects of ancient primitive tribes. One, it's very agile, and it's very good at burrowing, and it's very difficult to catch."
"I have to wait quietly for it to come over, only within five meters can I be sure to catch it!"
After speaking, Chen Xu carefully hid behind a bush by the river bank.
When many viewers heard that Master Xu was going to hunt and kill this gopher, they immediately started barrage:
"Damn it, the mouse hastened to drive Q and run stealthily, Master Xu is squatting on you in the grass!"
"With the IQ of this idiot, it's estimated to be GG!"
"This gopher has gone crazy and lost its mind!"
Maybe it was because of the hot weather, the American gopher ran all the way down the hillside, and when it reached the shore, it should be ready to replenish water.
And just when it came to the edge of the stream, it seemed to have discovered something, its little nose kept sniffing in the air, very vigilant.
Then, it turned its head towards the grass where Chen Xu was hiding.
One person and one mouse, just staring at each other.
Before even half a second came, it immediately ran away.
Everyone laughed, thinking that the gopher had successfully escaped from Master Xu's mouth.
However, in the next second, a black shadow flashed with a "swoosh".
Crack——!
Accompanied by the sound of inserting into the soil.
The audience took a closer look and were stunned!
I saw a straight black dagger sticking out on the bank opposite the creek, it was Master Xu's military-used mountain-opening knife.
And under the tip of the knife, there was something stuck, it was the American gopher that was about to escape!
"Nimma, this is a bit too 6!"
"Master Xu: Sovereign of the rain forest, slaying dragons with a sword, commanding all the rats, who dare not obey!"
"2333, Master Xu is going to level 999 with one knife, it's seconds to beat anyone!"
"Oh my god, Huaxia Kung Fu, Xiao Li Feidao!"
Chen Xu was also a little excited about being able to stab a kangaroo, but when he saw the barrage from abroad, he still opened his mouth to explain:
"YouTube viewers misunderstood that this is not a throwing knife kung fu, but a simple hunting, because the structure of this dogleg knife is very similar to that of a boomerang, and it is head-heavy and tail-heavy, which is very suitable for throwing."
"I was only less than five meters away from that gopher at that time, so it was easy to throw it at such a short distance."
Then, he stepped across the creek and came to the other side of the creek.
The blade of the machete was very sharp, and the pouch was clearly dead.
He pulled out the knife and threw the fat dinner into his backpack.
At this time, the sun had already set on the mountainside.
Chen Xu looked around, "It's getting late, we need to build a temporary camp and set up a fire as soon as possible."
"In the wild, there are many compromises in choosing a camping location, one of which is not to be next to a river."
"First of all, it is easy to attract wild animals near the river. Secondly, the terrain of the river valley is too low. In case of heavy rain at night, the collective will be directly submerged.
Lastly, the waterside mosquitoes are very prolific and without something to repel it would be an absolute nightmare! "
Chen Xu walked directly downstream along the creek.
About ten minutes later, he came to a clearing by the creek.
"The location here looks good. The terrain is higher than the river valley, a certain distance from the water source, and it is also leeward. We will live here tonight!"
After speaking, he used the machete to chop down the nearby small palm trees.
Tropical rainforests are good at this point, and they are very rich in materials.
Chen Xu chopped down a dozen palm tree trunks and cut off all their branches.
Anyway, the machete is much easier to chop than the whaling harpoon, and a dozen tree trunks are not a problem at all.
"When setting up a campsite in a rainforest with dense species like Guatemala, one thing must be paid attention to, that is, try not to sleep directly in the ground."
"Even if you clean the ground, after a night, you can't guarantee which poisonous bugs will come to you."
"According to statistics, more than 500 people die from poisonous insects and snakes in Central America every year, which is almost twice the combined killings of jaguars, crocodiles, and anacondas."
"This data fully tells us that in the rainforest, the greater threat to us is those unknown poisonous insects that even experts can hardly distinguish!"
While explaining, he found a bunch of vines as thick as a little finger from a nearby forest.
With the rope, Chen Xu easily tied the tree trunks together.
First, he cut off one of them, using two long ones and one short one, to make an "A" shaped shelf.
"This is the simplest off-the-ground shelter. We can make two such shelves and put a beam on the top as a fix."
"Then, we can put a row of tree trunks on the horizontal bar at the bottom, tie them tightly, and put a layer of fern leaves on top, which is a very soft bed off the ground!"
It took Chen Xu about 40 minutes to finish all this.
Then, he found a large number of cycad leaves and palm leaves, and tied them on both sides of the top of the shelf.
In this way, a simple hut off the ground, windproof and rainproof is ready.
Domestic audiences have seen a lot of Master Xu's ingenuity.
But it is the first time for many foreign audiences to see such a strong hands-on ability to build a house with bare hands. It's amazing!
After building the shack, the sun had already started to set.
It's getting dark, and fast.
The night in the tropical rain forest is undoubtedly very scary.
Chen Xu hurriedly found a small clump of dry weeds and dead leaves nearby. I have to say, in such a humid environment, it is very good to find a small clump of dry things.
The audience thought that Lord Xu was going to perform the fire drill again, and some even guessed how long it would take him.
But what he didn't expect was that this time, Chen Xu only found a stick, not dead wood. 8)
