After speaking, Chen Xu took a step forward.

And it was this small step that his entire shoe was completely submerged in the water.

"Fortunately, the periphery is not too deep, according to the method I explained to you before, we need to find a dead wood that is long enough to use as a pathfinding crutch!"

So, he walked along the shallow outer swamp to the edge of a bush, drew his knife, and cut off a branch to use as a crutch.

With its help to explore the way, Chen Xu became much bolder.

At the very least, he knew that he wouldn't step into a deep pit or a muddy swamp for no reason and be swallowed alive!

Along the way, the swamp began to get deeper and deeper.

From the beginning of Chen Xu's ankle, to now, his entire calf has been buried under the swamp.

As for the ant nest, for fear of being soaked in water, he had already packed it into the combat backpack, because the fabric of the backpack was waterproof.

"Fortunately, this swamp is relatively shallow, and there are generally no large creatures to live. ”

The absence of large creatures means that there will be no creatures larger than 1.5 meters.

And below 1.5 meters, even a crocodile or a python is not enough to kill.

In this way, Chen Xu's nerves, which had been tense, could also relax a little.

After walking for about ten minutes, there was a "bang" sound of water flowing in front of me again, and the sound was much louder than the previous stream.

"There's a river ahead!"

He opened his mouth to remind the audience, in fact, he was also reminding himself, and in the next second, he slowly put his right hand on his waist and pulled out the mountain knife.

The marshland is not deep enough for large freshwater creatures, but rivers are different, let alone 1.5 meters, as long as the river is large enough, even a 6-meter estuarine crocodile may appear.

In this way, after passing through the last bush, Chen Xu suddenly felt that his vision became wider.

And in the drone footage, he is now standing on the bank of an earthy yellow river.

The river is very wide, close to twenty meters to say the least, but the current in the river is not turbulent and looks like the entire lower reaches of the river.

It was precisely because the water flow was not strong enough that many tributaries in the river separated and spread in the jungle next to it, which formed the small swamp that Chen Xu had just crossed.

The water level of the swamp rises, flows down a mountain stream, and finally turns into a stream again.

The discovery of the river was good news for Chen Xu, which meant that his hunting plan could be put on the agenda earlier.

However, the most important task at the moment is to set up a campsite.

He looked up at the sky, and the dark cloud in the distance had begun to slowly drift like this, and in the process of fluttering, it was still absorbing other clouds, as if a super heavy rain was brewing.

"Time is running out, let's find a campsite around here!"

Then, Chen Xu inserted back the mountain opening knife, stepped into the water with one foot, and began to walk towards the other side of the river.

Because it was a downstream river, the current was not turbulent, and the water level was only knee-high, so he easily walked over.

On the other side, he plunged into the jungle again.

"To build a survival point in the tropical rainforest, although you should choose to be next to a flowing water source, you must not be too close to the river, one is that the tropical rainforest is prone to heavy rainfall, and the water level of the river is easy to soar and flood the campsite. ”

"Second, water is a necessity to sustain the life of living beings, which is needed by human beings, and is also needed by other living beings, and if it is too close to the water source, it is easy to be noticed by wild beasts that come to the river to drink water, and even attacked, and finally, there are other effects such as mosquitoes and moisture. ”

After a few words, Chen Xu had already walked about fifty or sixty meters into the jungle.

It wasn't until he found a fairly open terrain that he stopped, "Here it is!"

With that, he began to look for supplies to set up a camp nearby.

Tropical rainforest plants grow densely and are rich in materials, especially shrubs and small palms, which are almost too numerous to count.

Compared with the previous beggar-level start of the rainforest survival, Chen Xu now has a mountain opening knife, I don't know how much more convenient it is than a self-made stone axe.

In more than ten minutes, he cut down more than a dozen wrist-thick palm tree trunks in a row.

And just as he continued to cut the vines, a black thorny plant covered with spikes appeared in front of the left side of the plant cluster.

"It's a nice thing, the spikes are very hard and can be used as hooks for fishing!"

As he spoke, he cut off a section of his hand.

In order to fear that the heavy rain would be wet and it would be difficult to make a fire at that time, Chen Xu also picked up a piece of dead wood and put it in his combat backpack for backup at a critical moment.

For these small details, the audience also has to admire.

Searching for materials is a very important part of surviving in the wild, and often a detail will directly affect the quality of your living environment.

Back at the campsite, dark clouds had drifted over his head.

I don't know if it's the mental effect, or the cold air brought by the low pressure mass, in short, Chen Xu inexplicably feels that the jungle seems to be much cooler.

So, he took out the windbreaker in his backpack in advance and put it on his body, the high-quality windbreaker fabric can be barely used as a raincoat, at least it is much better than wearing the shirt directly.

Then, he began to officially set up camp.

"According to the requirements of the rainforest shelter, the first thing is to be strong enough to keep us from collapsing when we sleep, then to keep out the rain to prevent us from catching colds, and finally to stay away from the ground and avoid the bites of ants and poisonous insects, all three of which are indispensable. ”

Explaining the knowledge of the shelter to the audience, Chen Xu's hands had already begun to move.

Due to the approaching rainstorm, he was building it much faster than before.

In accordance with these requirements, he first selected four of the longest trunks of palm trees, which were the pillars of the whole shelter, and rectangular ones were inserted into the dirt of the clearing.

Then, Chen Xu took three more tree sticks, one of which was cut in half, and at a height of about one meter from the ground, they were tied horizontally between the four pillars, and the middle was filled with other wooden sticks.

In this way, the shelves and bed boards of a campsite are all erected.

Next, he used the remaining sticks to make a triangular roof, which was also tied to the shelves with vines.

Now, just cover the roof with rain-proof palm fronds, a simple rainforest sanctuary, and you're done.

However, just when Chen Xu picked up the palm leaf and was about to tie it to the roof.

Suddenly, above the sky, there was a huge thunderclap again:

Boom——!

After the aftermath, he felt a few drops of cold water hit his face.
