Chapter 477: How to Make a Hammock for a Tree?
When the audience saw the arbor pointed to by Xu Ye, they couldn't understand it.
"Isn't this just an ordinary arbor, is it possible that Master Xu wants to sleep directly on the top?"
"Probably not, just a branch, it's easy to fall down!"
"I guess Xu Ye should want to build a ladder bed between two trees, he has done this before!"
Chen Xu looked at the barrage posted by the audience and said with a smile: "Someone guessed half right, that's right, I really want to make a hammock, because there are many poisonous snakes and poisonous insects on Viper Island, so if you don't want to sleep until midnight and be bitten alive by a bunch of poisonous snakes, you must not sleep on the ground!"
"However, even if you build a ladderbed on an arbor, there is a danger that poisonous snakes will crawl in, because snakes have the ability to climb trees, so I am going to make a high hammock this time, and only use one tree!"
After listening to it, Xu Du people couldn't think of how to make a hammock for an arbor!
The next moment, Chen Xu put his backpack on the ground, then carried a sapper shovel and began to look for the small trees around him.
It has to be said that the rainforest will always be nature's most precious green treasure.
Because there are so many supplies here.
He took two random steps and found a few palm trees the thickness of his arm.
Because there is a sapper shovel, it is easier for Chen Xu to chop it than a dagger, and if a few shovels go down, a large piece of the root of the palm tree will be missing.
Then, he jumped up directly, grabbed the canopy in mid-air, and shook it downwards vigorously.
After only listening to a few "clicks", the trunk was crushed by Chen Xu.
The audience looked completely stupid, and they had never seen Xu Ye "cut down trees" in such a rough way.
But it must be admitted that this method is very fast.
In a few moments, he cut down three palm trunks in succession.
Chen Xu took a few breaths, cut a few finger-thick rattans with a dagger, and took them.
"The high hammock I made is very simple, just cut these three trunks smooth, then arrange them into a triangle and tie them with rattan!"
As he spoke, he personally demonstrated to the audience.
Ten minutes later, he tied the entire frame sturdily, "Next, I'm going to weave a lattice in the middle of the triangular bed frame with vines so I can sleep on it, and put a lot of fern leaves to increase the comfort!"
"But we have to hurry, it's going to get dark!"
In the end, Chen Xu's speed on hand also accelerated.
And just as he was sappling the ferns with a spade, all of a sudden, a black shadow suddenly appeared in the grass!
Chen Xu reacted extremely quickly, slid backwards, and instantly opened the distance.
But he saw that a snake covered with black diamond-shaped markings landed right on the spot where he was just now!
It's dangerous!
This snake is probably not a particularly aggressive snake, and after failing to strike, it quickly burrows into the bushes next to it.
Apparently frightened and fled.
"See, the distribution of snakes on Viper Island is really too dense!"
Chen Xu shook his head and smiled, then picked up those ferns, brought them all back, and spread them on the lattice woven by vines.
"Finally, and most crucially, I need to tie up the corners with strong rattan, and finally pull them up and get stuck in one, and that's where we hang it!"
As he spoke, he found three vines, tied them to the corners of the three bed frames, and then gathered them together and pulled them up.
Not to mention, as soon as Chen Xu pulled like this, the three rattans left the ground with the three corners of the bed frame.
In this way, a triangular hammock is ready!
The audience was amazed and had to admire Xu Ye's hands-on ability!
"This kind of high hammock is often suitable for steep mountains, cliff edges and other environments, and the advantage of using it here is that it only needs one tree to hang up, and it is completely detached from the trunk, which greatly reduces the danger of poisonous snakes climbing up!"
"Because, although snakes have the ability to climb trees, they do not have feet, so the higher the tree they climb, the thinner the branches, and the winding force of their bodies and the number of waist circles are multiplied!"
"And like vines, few snakes dare to climb over, because they are afraid that they will fall, animals are afraid of heights, for them, safety is far more important than predation!"
After explaining, Chen Xu twisted the three rattans together like twisted flowers, and then grabbed them and came to the arbor he chose.
The audience only understood why Xu Ye chose this arbor this time.
Because it is tall enough firstly, and secondly, it has a very thick, sturdy branch.
Xu Ye can hang this triangular hammock there.
In this way, the entire hammock is completely suspended, and the entire bed frame will not have any contact with the trunk of the tree except for the suspension point!
"Now, I have to climb this tree and hang the vine on that branch!"
Chen Xu looked at the branches, grabbed three rattans with one hand, and slowly cooperated with his feet with one hand, and began to climb towards the tree.
However, before that, he had carefully observed the entire tree, for fear that there were other poisonous snakes on it.
Due to the humid and hot climate of the tropical rainforest, the trees here have a lot of moss coats in some places, which are very slippery, and it is difficult to use the strength of the hands and feet to step on.
It took a lot of effort for Chen Xu to climb to the top of the tree.
After throwing the rattan over, he breathed a sigh of relief and began to prepare to come down from the tree.
It didn't matter, a white object in the branch attracted him.
Chen Xu frowned, pinched the white object with his fingers, and pulled out a "fat" insect with a slight tug!
"Damn, it's disgusting!"
"I think this is the most refreshing of all Xu Ye's recipes!"
"Hahaha, as soon as I get to the tropics, I guess there will be a big bug that bursts on the scene!"
Unlike the audience's joyful barrage, Chen Xu's expression was slightly serious, and he was not excited to find food.
Some viewers couldn't help but ridicule Xu Ye for having a high vision, and with a snake, he couldn't even look at the big bugs!
He shook his head and said, "It's not a matter of food! I've told you about many kinds of insect larvae, most of which are parasitic in tree trunks and eat away at the nutrients of trees. ”
"If it were usual, I might be very excited when I see them, but now, this tree has insect larvae parasitized, which means that this tree is not strong, and it is likely that these larvae have eaten away from it!"
"I don't know how many of these things are in the trunk, but anyway, I don't want to sleep until midnight, roll over, click, and fall off the tree!"
