Chapter 18: The Short King
"If you want to brush your teeth but don't have a toothbrush, don't worry, we can make a simple toothbrush out of this cattail!"
After Chen Xu washed his body, he put on his clothes, walked to the shore, and pointed to the aquatic plants, one of which had a thick rhizome and a sausage-like fruit on his head, "This kind of cattail grass is called water candle, it is widely distributed, often grows in the swamps on the shore of rivers and lakes, it is a wild vegetable in China, it can be said that it is full of treasures, it is very awesome!"
"When its head is twisted open, it can be used as a velvet to start a fire, or it can be stuffed into clothes to keep warm, and its rhizome is very hard enough to make arrows, and we can break it off, just like that!"
Then, Chen Xu picked a water candle and broke its long stem, and there was a natural fiber burr on the broken stem, "Look at the burr on this, we can use it to brush our teeth!"
Seeing this, the audience in the live broadcast room couldn't help but praise his wit!
"666, this is probably the simplest toothbrush I've ever seen!"
"I've seen this sausage grass countless times, and today I finally know my real name!"
"yes, when I was a kid, I always thought the sausage on it was real!"
"Isn't that rubbing your teeth?"
"Xu Ye is really a little encyclopedia of life!"
"I'm not done yet!" After brushing his teeth, Chen Xu pulled out the whole root of the grass again, "I also said just now, this water candle is a wild vegetable, and it is indeed edible, look at its roots, after washing it, you will find that the taste is excellent, it is refreshing and delicious, and it also contains a lot of starchy substances, which can replenish energy!"
Immediately, he broke off the roots and buds under the water candle, washed them in the river water a few times, stuffed them into his mouth, and chewed them directly, "Hmm! believe me, the taste is definitely this!"
After tasting it with his own mouth, the sweet, crisp and refreshing taste made Chen Xu subconsciously give a big thumbs up. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
Having filled his stomach and drank enough water, he began to continue on his way.
"With a total length of more than 1,200 kilometers and a width of about 200 to 300 kilometers, DXAL is the junction of the second and third tiers in our country, with the second tier to the west of the mountain range and the third tier to the east of the mountain range. ā
"As you can see, the terrain we are walking on now is still very undulating, which means that we have not yet reached the third step, in other words, we are still a long way from the southeast!"
walked for more than three hours, and along the way, Chen Xu was interacting with the audience, and the number of viewers has reached more than 6,000 people, which is the best result of the daytime live broadcast since the start of the broadcast.
And now, it's only noon.
"Whew, let's rest for a while!"
After walking a few more steps, Chen Xu felt a little tired, so he sat on the bluestone with his butt and prepared to rest for a while.
Although his hiking skills have reached level 4 and can be described as experienced, hiking in the mountains is no better than walking on the road, and the physical strength consumed here per hour is much higher than on ordinary roads!
"To travel in the wilderness, you must learn to control your physical strength, or your body will soon collapse!"
"In fact, in a primeval forest like DXAL, there are many wild fruits that can replenish physical strength, and some viewers may be afraid that they will not be able to distinguish between poisonous and non-toxic, but this kind of mountain grape, I believe everyone will have seen it!"
After resting for a while, Chen Xu got into the forest, and found a small vine leaf seedling in a barren grass, which was not tall, only about twenty centimeters, with bunches of purple-black grapes on it, delicate and gorgeous, there were at least seventy or eighty in a bunch, but they were not big, and some were not even as big as a small thumb fingernail.
"Wow! It looks delicious!"
"I've eaten this, it's very sour, and my family usually uses it to make wine!"
"My family too, the fruit wine made from mountain grapes is particularly delicious!"
"Does Xu Ye have a search function? How can you always find something to eat!"
"People are professional wilderness anchors, of course they are amazing!"
"I estimate that if you let Xu Ye stay for three months, the entire DXAL will be able to make him empty!"
"Haha, upstairs 23333!"
The audience sent a barrage, Chen Xu had already picked a bunch, pulled a few grapes, threw them into his mouth and ate them, "It's not as sour as everyone imagined, it's still delicious, and the most important thing is that the content of vitamin B12 in mountain grapes is incomparable to other foods, and it is also an essential substance for hematopoietic function in the human body." ā
"Not only that, but mountain grapes are also rich in iron, which provides the best tonic for people with iron deficiency anemia. Therefore, it also has the effect of nourishing blood. ā
"666, it's time for Xu Ye Encyclopedia again!"
"Thank you Xu Ye, I learned another trick, buy some for my grandmother another day to try, she has anemia. ā
"Upstairs is quite filial!"
"Dare to ask, Master Xu, don't you eat grapes before you eat them?"
"Upstairs is really 2B, pure natural wild grapes, do you think it is planted with artificial pesticides?"
After eating grapes and supplementing vitamins, Chen Xu felt that his physical strength had recovered a little, but at this time, a "gurgling" sound came out of his stomach.
"Master Xu, you just finished eating a large bunch of grapes and got hungry, this is too fast, right?"
"It's only three seconds to be handsome!"
"It seems that Xu Ye doesn't last long!"
Chen Xu laughed embarrassedly: "No way, I don't want to, but the sourness of mountain grapes can stimulate the taste of the mouth, arouse appetite, and promote the secretion of gastric juice, and I haven't eaten in the morning, so I will naturally scream!"
"It's all excuses!"
"Xu Ye is a short king!"
"You come out of the short king, TM laughed to death!"
"666, the great god has come out of the barrage since ancient times!"
Looking at the barrage of non-stop ridicule, Chen Xu couldn't defend himself, and just when he was thinking about how to divert the topic, not far away, there were suddenly a few sparse sounds of pressing grass.
He subconsciously tensed his nerves, and when he looked at it, hey, it turned out to be a hare!
"Look, everyone! Our food is here!"
Chen Xu whispered to the audience in the live broadcast room while controlling the drone's camera to shoot over.
Under the black technology of the system, the lens of the drone has been indented countless times, and it is more than ten meters away, and every detail of this gray rabbit is shot extremely clearly.
"A lost rabbit!"
"Little Fishman, did you buy a skin?"

"Xu Ye won't want to eat rabbits, right?"
"How is it possible, Xu Ye didn't bring a knife, didn't bring a bow and arrow, and didn't set a trap, how could he catch a flexible rabbit!"
"I think Xu Ye is so powerful, there must be a way!"
"No matter how powerful Xu Ye is, he can't go to heaven!"
