After eating and drinking, Liu Danqing left Xiao Weiwei in the first half of the night and went to sleep first.

In the second half of the night, when Liu Danqing was on duty, he suddenly found two points of green light in the distance, so he asked Xiao San to check it.

What appeared on the screen of the phone was a beast more than two meters long, covered with leopard prints, but with a head that resembled a tiger.

"Jaguar!"

Liu Danqing's eyes froze, picked up Xiao Weiwei's snake staff, stood up and looked at its location, and put a few more pieces of firewood into the fire to make the fire even bigger.

While staring at the jaguar's eyes, Liu Danqing said: "Jaguars are also called jaguars, because of the leopard prints on their bodies, but their body ratio and combat effectiveness are more like tigers. ”

"I made the fire bigger, hoping that it would make it difficult to retreat, and if it was daytime, I wouldn't mind playing against it, but now it's night, it's its home field, and I'm still holding the fire. ”

Seeing that the jaguar was still staring at this side, Liu Danqing smiled and said, "This guy is really eyeing us, I'll make a joke with it!"

With that, he went to the fire, put a large amount of red charcoal into the tortoise shell, and forgot to throw some small twigs and other firewood inside.

When the twig was ignited, he held the side edge of the tortoise shell with both hands, then walked to the side and slammed the flaming charcoal and burning branches from the tortoise shell into the air.

Like a firework, a dazzling red light suddenly appeared in the dark jungle, illuminating the surrounding flames.

"Ahh The jaguar not far away let out a terrible howl, and then heard a rustling sound.

"Hehe, let you use your brain!" Liu Danqing smiled proudly.

The live broadcast room was full of suspicion, strongly asking Liu Danqing to open the Qingye lecture hall.

"The reason is simple, in order to adapt to the night environment, so the eyes and pupils of these predators will be adjusted, although the eyes of the jaguar will not become vertical pupils at night like cats, but they will also be adjusted to night mode, emitting green light. ”

"Originally, in the face of the flames, it had this certain fear, so it chose a position where it could not see the flames, and suddenly a large ball of fire suddenly appeared, which was not only the fear of the heart, but also the discomfort of the eyes. ”

After being frightened, the jaguar never appeared again, which allowed them to survive until dawn.

Breakfast was smoked and grilled piranha heated by Liu Danqing in advance, as well as boiled water.

After breakfast, the available supplies on the shelter, especially the 550 paracord, were collected, and a fire fold was made again, and the two of them set off again.

This time, as luck would have it, they only walked for more than an hour before they found a bamboo forest.

After finding the bamboo forest, the two of them had the raw materials to make bamboo rafts.

So the two began to cut bamboo, cut bamboo, trim bamboo branches, and make bamboo rafts.

Liu Danqing said his vision as he cut down the bamboo: "Our plan is to make a three-tier, two-meter-long, 80-centimeter-wide narrow bamboo raft to adapt to the river environment here." ”

"We would put the thickest bamboo section below, the middle layer would be thicker, the top plywood would be the thinnest, and we would also sit on two stools on top of the raft to prevent lack of buoyancy. ”

"We have enough 550 lines and one of the reasons we are able to make a bamboo raft in a short period of time, with which we can do the fixing work very easily. ”

According to their design, they built a bamboo raft four hours later.

"One, two, three!"

With a "boom", the bamboo raft was pushed into the water by the two, and the two quickly jumped on the bamboo raft and walked on the waterway.

"Compared to wood, bamboo with the same volume is much more buoyant, and there will be no buoyancy failure that occurs due to water ingress like wood, so making a raft with bamboo is the best choice. ”

"Although bamboo rafts are not as popular as canoes in the Amazon basin, we can only make bamboo rafts in terms of difficulty and requirements. ”

After saying two words, Liu Danqing sat on the stool at the bow of the boat and began to control the direction, while Xiao Weiwei sat in the back and continued to serve as a humanoid radar.

"Those tribes in the Amazon are more likely to communicate by waterway, so in the Amazon basin these waterways are called the Telling Highway in the jungle. ”

Liu Danqing continued while holding the bamboo pole and speeding up the bamboo raft: "The main thing is that it hasn't rained in the past few days, otherwise, our speed can be much faster, but now it's not bad, at least it's a lot faster than us walking." ”

"Wow!" Liu Danqing lowered his head to avoid a branch, and said with a smile: "Except for these branches on the water, they don't seem very friendly, haha!"

There are countless trees on both sides of the stream, which stretch their branches to the surface of the water, and some even hang directly into the water, and Liu Danqing has to avoid them from time to time or use bamboo poles to push them away.

And there are also a lot of aquatic plants in the water, they are clumped together, often hooking the head of the bamboo raft, so that Liu Danqing has to support the bamboo pole and forcibly cross the bamboo raft from the aquatic weeds.

Even so, they are now far faster than walking on the shore.

Until three or four o'clock in the afternoon, the two men had traveled about ten kilometers.

At this time, they stopped, jumped onto the shore, and pulled the bamboo raft to the shore with great force, and found two 550 paracords to firmly fix the bamboo raft to a large tree by the stream.

It's not that the two of them are in a hurry to build a shelter, but that God is not beautiful, or that Liu Danqing's crow's mouth has worked again.

Just now he said that it hasn't rained for the past few days, and raindrops will start to fall from the sky.

Originally, the Amazon jungle belongs to the tropical rainforest, and it is normal for it to rain a little in the sky.

But because of Liu Danqing's mouth, now Xiao Weiwei has begun to question ruthlessly.

"Qingqing you crow's mouth, how many times have I told you, don't talk too much, don't talk too much, look at it, you gave it to the crow again, it's raining, this can't be a wow!"

What can Liu Danqing say at this time, he can only complain that God is really faceless, you want it to rain, even if it rains early, don't say it will rain for a few hours.

But it didn't help to talk about it now, and the two of them started to build shelters in the rain.

Luckily, there were two banana trees on the shore, and although there were no bananas on them, their broad leaves were the best roofing material.

I cut down some small trees as fast as I could, first set up a shelf, then covered with banana leaves, and a canopy was completed.

Then the two began to collect dead trees, and Liu Danqing also pulled some gray-brown or gray-black things from several trees, put them in his pocket, and brought them back to the shelter.

Simply set up a narrow bed, and the two began to prepare for the fire.

Liu Danqing first took out the collected lumps and particles, and introduced: "Look, this is the resin I just collected. ”

"In the Amazon, there are 2.5 million species of insects, many of which like to burrow into tree trunks, and when the trunks of some trees are broken by insects, they will constantly secrete sap from the wound, and after the sap is dried, it will slowly accumulate to form this natural resin. ”

"Now it's raining heavily, and the humidity in the air is getting high, and it's hard to start a fire from the hay inside the bamboo tube, because it's not really dry, and we can't find a dry ignition, so I got some resin back. ”

"Now I'm going to crush them and sprinkle them evenly on the hay, and then I'm going to put the coals on top of some of the driest hay, and I'm going to sprinkle some of the resin powder on it. ”

Then, Liu Danqing picked up the haystack wrapped with charcoal and blew it gently.

After blowing a lot, the white smoke from the tall grass pile became thicker and thicker, but it just didn't make a fire.

Liu Danqing was helpless, so he changed the way of making a fire and used the method of shaking the nurse who coaxed the child.

After shaking for a while, there was still no fire, so Liu Danqing had no choice but to continue blowing.

"Let me come!" Xiao Weiwei on the side was so anxious that she snatched the haystack in Liu Danqing's hand and blew it.

After several tosses, the orange-red flame finally rose in Xiao Weiwei's hands.

The excited two hurriedly put the small dry branches prepared in advance on the hay, watched the fire burn more and more, and lit the finger-thick branches.

At this time, the two breathed a sigh of relief and sat on the bed panting.

"It's finally a fire!" Liu Danqing sighed: "It's not easy, although there is no fire tonight, it is not a big deal, we have cooked food, and the rain can be drunk directly, but the quality of life will inevitably drop a lot." ”

"What's more, in the absence of fire, if the rain stops at night, we are threatened by apex predators, such as the jaguar that peeped at us last night, which is the apex predator of the Amazon, and even adult forest worms can be preyed upon by them. ”

Xiao Weiwei heard the forest python and said: "I really hope to catch an Amazon forest python, we have eaten the giant land python, but the giant water python has not eaten yet." ”

Liu Danqing nodded and said: "Yes, I am also very curious about what the forest snake tastes like, if we can meet a forest snake, we can taste the specialty of the Amazon, the world's largest snake." ”

"The reticulated python is also good. Xiao Weiwei said: "The longest snake in the world is also very tempting. ”

These two guys talk about Amazon's top predators, the reticulated python and the forest python, as if they are a meal on a plate, but the two also have their own confidence.

In the face of a strangulation-like killer like a python, as long as the two of them control it so that it can't entangle one person, then no matter whether it's the longest or the biggest, they won't be able to play to their advantages.
