Walking to the vicinity of the hot spring with a blood-drinking knife, Chen Zhe first heard the sound of girls frolicking.

"Meng Fei! Meng Fei! Don't make trouble!"

"Oops, Sister Joe, you made my hair wet......"

"Haha, you guys should let go too! Don't be so restrained, there is no one else here, it's okay to play crazy! Come on, sister, Yan'er, let's play together!"

“......”

Chen Zhe didn't need to look at it at all to know that it must be Xiao Qiao, the off-line girl, who was messing around, the new camp is close to the hot spring, everyone can come and enjoy it at any time, from this point of view, the new camp is stronger than the old camp.

Chen Zhe also wanted to go to the hot spring to relax, after all, his old waist was about to break when he was tired from carrying supplies up the mountain just now.

But now he doesn't have time to play, he still has to do his job of guarding against snakes first.

Following the trail to the back of the hot springs, Chen Zhe quickly found the slope of the hill where he had dug for sulphur ore.

It is located underneath the hot springs, so a large amount of hot spring sediment has been deposited here, in addition to the traces of volcanic eruptions from ancient times, which together form a valuable mineral.

On the outermost part are some pale yellow stones, which are the sulfur ores that can be stripped of the sulfur.

But they are not Chen Zhe's target this time, Chen Zhe's target this time is other substances.

Taking out a layer of sulfur ore from the outside, Chen Zhe continued to search deeply, and soon he found some brighter colors and looser stones, which were different from sulfur ore with the naked eye.

"Looks like I've found my target. ”

Chen Zhe smiled lightly and cast his gaze on the stones.

Then the system gives a prompt:

[Item detected: A piece of natural realgar.] 】

Realgar, also known as cockscomb, goldstone, and yellow...... The main ingredient is tetraarsenic tetrasulfide, one of the sulfide minerals, which often occurs together with sulfur ore.

Chen Zhe had seen realgar as early as when he came to look for sulfur, but because realgar was not a necessary substance for making black powder, he did not use it at that time.

However, although realgar cannot be used to make gunpowder, it has a vital role in other fields, which is to repel snakes.

The chemical composition of realgar contains highly poisonous and can cause fatal damage to snakes, snakes react very keenly to realgar, and once they smell the smell of realgar, they will take the initiative to retreat.

The ancients often ground realgar into powder and spread it in places where pythons often haunt, so that pythons would automatically retreat and dare not invade humans.

Later, some people grinded realgar into powder and mixed it into the wine, because the alcohol is volatile, the realgar powder is more volatile into the air when mixed into the wine, and the repellent effect on snakes is better.

Chen Zhe weighed the realgar in his hand and pondered: "Tonight, first grind the realgar into powder and spread it under the banyan tree, and then brew some wine when there is time tomorrow and the day after tomorrow to make realgar wine."

With this treasure, it doesn't matter if you are a poisonous snake or a python, you will not dare to come near my camp. ”

With that, Chen Zhe hugged the realgar and walked back to the camp.

And when I walked through the hot spring, I happened to meet Yan'er and the three girls out of the bath, and the girls were wet and wrapped in silk cheongsams dyed blue and walked out of the hot spring.

When they looked back at Chen Zhe, the three girls were shocked.

Xiao Qiao's big eyes rolled, and he suddenly asked vigilantly, "Chen Zhe, why are you here?

As soon as these words came out, Da Qiao hurriedly slapped her and said, "Don't spew blood, Chen Zhe is not that kind of person." ”

Yan'er also said: "Yes, Brother Xiao Chen will definitely not do such a thing." ”

Little Joe stuck out his tongue and said, "I know, I know...... I'm just joking, are you two so excited? Hurry up and speak for Chen Zhe. ”

Da Qiao stretched out his hand and pinched his sister's nose, and said, "You, you, you know how to do things all day long." ”

Yan'er looked curiously at the brightly colored, dark yellow, and even reddish stone in Chen Zhe's hand, and asked, "Brother Xiao Chen, what is this?"

"It's a treasure to keep us safe tonight. Chen Zhe said.

"Isn't it amazing?" Xiao Qiao looked at curiously and said, "But isn't it just a big stone with bright colors?"

"It's not just an ordinary stone, it's realgar. Chen Zhe explained.

As soon as he heard the name, Da Qiao immediately said, "Realgar! I know, it's used to drive away snakes!"

"It's still Da Qiao who has culture. Chen Zhe said with a smile.

Xiao Qiao said unconvinced: "Cut, I also know that realgar is used to drive away snakes, and I also know that snake spirits will show their original form as soon as they encounter realgar wine, such as Bai Suzhen......"

Chen Zhe looked at Xiao Qiao with tears and laughter, and forcibly said: "Okay, good, you are really a literate ......"

Xiao Qiao raised his head confidently: "That's a must! We are cultural people!"

A few people returned to the camp while talking and laughing, and Da Qiao and the others climbed to the tree house to sort out the supplies.

Chen Zhe didn't rush up, but used a clay pot and a stone to grind the realgar that had just been collected into powder.

The texture of the realgar itself is relatively soft, so the grinding process does not consume too much physical strength, and soon a large piece of realgar is ground into half a jar of yellow powder, Chen Zhe carried the clay pot and began to spread these realgar powder around the banyan tree.

Around the banyan tree and the tree house, he drew a circle with realgar powder, just like the circle that Sun Wukong drew for Tang Seng, and it was safe enough inside.

It wasn't until he finished painting this circle of realgar powder that Chen Zhe put down the clay pot and climbed up to the log cabin on the banyan tree.

By this time, the light in the woods had dimmed, and night had fallen, and the four of them had moved into a new environment, living a completely different life.

Although everyone was tired, everyone was still very excited in the new environment.

Da Qiao looked at the small wooden house with a simple structure that was not completely completed, and then looked at the lush scenery in the rainforest outside, and couldn't help but sigh: "I didn't expect our new camp to be so beautiful......

Xiao Qiao also nodded in agreement: "Yes, the location of the new camp is higher, and the field of vision is also broader, and it feels like a castle in the air." ”

"Although I still miss our cabin, this new treehouse is also very nice. Yan'er smiled and said, "Brother Xiao Chen, we will help you build the treehouse together tomorrow, so that our new home will be completed." ”

"Okay. Chen Zhe smiled and nodded, and then said, "I hope it won't rain tomorrow." ”

......

Night.

The island's rainforest grew dark.

In the live broadcast room of Wilderness Survival, the lens of the camera is also turned on in night vision mode.

At this time, netizens are worried about Chen Zhe's safety, after all, there is a huge python next to his camp, once the python finds Chen Zhe and the three girls, the consequences are unimaginable.

The barrage is saying:

"Hurry up and give the camera to Chen Zhe. ”

"I really want to remind Chen Zhe......"

"Program team, what is Chen Zhe doing now? Is that python still nearby?"

"Don't broadcast other players, I want to watch Chen Zhe!"

“......”

The host Zhu Ranran has actually been thinking about Chen Zhe, after all, the psychological shadow left by the giant python just now is too big, once this reticulated python gets close to Chen Zhe, then he and the girls are afraid that they will be more auspicious.

She couldn't help but say: "The concerns of netizens are justified, the reticulated python has indeed posed a great threat to Chen Zhe now, and I am also worried about Chen Zhe and his new camp, and I don't know if the reticulated python will harass them......"

At this moment, the director of the program team suddenly switched the picture in the live broadcast room.

He cut the picture to Chen Zhe's group according to the requirements of netizens and the host, but the camera did not give Chen Zhe's camp, but outside Chen Zhe's camp.

These shots of the island's natural environment were filmed by the program team's drone, which can allow the audience to have a God's perspective as much as possible, and also make the environment on the island more fully displayed in front of netizens.

The main character in the picture is still the giant python, which is dragging its huge body and crawling slowly through the rainforest.

The dense woods and lush bushes provide natural shelter for the serpent, which sly weaves through the rainforest without making a sound or showing any traces.

Seeing this scene, the host Zhu Ranran couldn't help but gasp: "This snake is really terrifying, not to mention Chen Zhe and they don't know it, even if I know now that it is hiding in the grass, if I don't look carefully, there is no way to find this snake from the grass......"

Professor Ma next to him also nodded in agreement: "Yes, the lines on the reticulated python are too similar to the vines and leaves in the rainforest, even if you look closely, it is difficult to find its whereabouts." ”

Speaking of which, the reticulated python swam forward for some distance, and it was already getting closer and closer to Chen Zhe's camp.

Zhu Ran sat up anxiously and said nervously: "Oh no! In front of him is Chen Zhe's tree house, is the python going to attack Chen Zhe?"

Professor Ma nodded apprehensively: "There is a possibility." ”

"Then does Chen Zhe have any hope of defeating this reticulated python?" Zhu Ranran asked uneasily, "He once fought with lone wolves and wild boars, if he can cut the body of the python with a sharp wasteland knife in time, then ......"

Without waiting for Zhu Ranran to finish speaking, another commentator, Ms. Song, couldn't help but interrupt: "Impossible, Chen Zhe has no chance to kill the reticulated python, in terms of the living habits of the reticulated python, it will definitely attack Chen Zhe unexpectedly, so Chen Zhe will fall into a passive situation."

In the case of being entangled by the reticulated python, Chen Zhe's arm could not exert force at all, so it was impossible for him to use the wasteland knife to cut the reticulated python's body.

What's more, the strangulation ability of the reticulated python is very strong, and the wild boar can't support it for a few minutes after being entangled by it, let alone Chen Zhe......"

Hearing this, Zhu Ranran's face was already like ashes.

She took a deep breath and asked desperately, "So, Teacher Song, do you mean that once you are attacked by the reticulated python, then Chen Zhe will be finished, right?"

"Yes. Ms. Song said firmly, "If the reticulated python decides to attack Chen Zhe, then Chen Zhe is more than lucky, I suggest that the program team immediately let the rescue team standby, once Chen Zhe is attacked, then the rescue team will immediately enter the scene to intervene and save Chen Zhe's life." ”

After listening to Ms. Song's analysis, Zhu Ranran only felt cruel and unwilling.

Could it be that Chen Zhe, who performed best among all the contestants, is going to quit the show because of this terrifying python?

She looked back at Professor Ma, a commentator who had always been very optimistic about Chen Zhe next to her, and waited for Professor Ma to express some different opinions, but Professor Ma at this time also looked ugly, and he should not be optimistic that Chen Zhe would be able to defeat the python.

Seeing this scene, Zhu Ranran's hopes were completely disappointed.

Not only her, but even netizens began to worry that Chen Zhe would be eliminated.

"It's over, I knew that Chen Zhe shouldn't have come up the mountain. ”

"This time Clark was right, the mountains are really too dangerous. ”

"After all, this is a tropical rainforest, a terrain that many wilderness survival masters dare not challenge......"

"Chen Zhe this time, there is more luck and less luck. ”

“......”

As he spoke, the picture in the live broadcast room advanced.

I saw that the big python moved forward some distance again, and it was already very close to the big banyan tree where Chen Zhe and the others were.

The other side.

Chen Zhe and the others did not realize the danger at all, and still talked happily in the small cabin on the branch of the banyan tree.

From time to time, the sound of pleasant conversation and incessant laughter came from the treehouse.

Commentator Ms. Song shook her head regretfully and said, "It's a pity that Chen Zhe didn't know that they were in danger, and they only cared about talking.

As the saying goes, it is true that you are born in sorrow and die in peace. ”

However, just as she finished saying this, the giant reticulated python that had just crawled under the banyan tree seemed to smell something unusual, and its body suddenly began to twitch, producing a violent physiological reaction.

Immediately afterwards, as if it had seen a ghost, it turned around and fled into the distance, it did not dare to approach the big banyan tree at all, as if it was scared away by Chen Zhe.

Seeing this scene, Ms. Song, who was still laughing at Chen Zhe just now, was stunned for "being born in sorrow and dying in peace".

Professor Ma, the commentator next to him, was also unexpected.

The host, Zhu Ranran, was even more shocked and said, "What's the situation? We saw that this reticulated python did not continue to approach after approaching Chen Zhe's camp, but chose to ...... It's like it's like it's a predator, and it's like it's running away!"

Netizens were also very surprised, and the barrage began to ask:

"What's the situation?"

"What's wrong with this snake?"

"Could it be that Chen Zhe has some kind of aura that can make snakes dare not get close?"

"Was this snake scared away by Chen Zhe's domineering aura?"

“......”

At this moment, Professor Ma suddenly spotted a special circle of soil on the ground next to the banyan tree.

It was a yellow, brightly colored, unusual earth.

"Hehe......" Professor Ma suddenly realized, stroked his palm and laughed, "I understand...... Chen Zhe is really smart. Not only is he very cautious, but he is also very knowledgeable and good at using local materials.

What reticulated python, what python with the greatest strangulation power in the world......

Hehe, in Chen Zhe's eyes, it's not worth mentioning at all! Chen Zhe used a little trick, and he immediately won without a fight!"

Hearing this, Ms. Song's face next to her was ugly for a while, she was still a little unconvinced, and said in a deep voice: "Professor Ma, what are you talking about? What is a little trick? What is winning without a fight?"

Professor Ma pointed to the circle of yellow dirt on the ground in the picture and said, "Teacher Song, guess what it is?"
