Episode 46: Water in the Trees, Deadly Crisis!
The sunset, the desert, the lonely tree, like a devout believer, in order to survive, Cheng Fei came across the world, and the big tree in front of him carried the miracle of life.
The sturdy stems are resistant to wind and sand, the stems contain a lot of water and are a rare source of water in the desert, the fresh branches and leaves of the trees can be used to make beds, and even the dry branches and fallen leaves that fall on the ground can be used to make fires.
It can be said that meeting such a tree in the desert is like meeting the hope of survival!
Recovering from the shock, Cheng Fei hurriedly moved, he first collected the dead branches and fallen leaves on the ground, and prepared to be fired.
In the desert, the temperature difference between day and night is very large, and the high temperature during the day is unbearable, but if you can make a fire, you can effectively solve the problem of low temperature at night.
It is not easy to make a fire in the wild, but fortunately, after a month of training, although Cheng Fei is not a fire master, he is not a rookie who was on the island at the beginning.
The dead branches and fallen leaves on the ground have been exposed to the sun for a day, and they are already very dry and easy to ignite, Cheng Fei has a flint and steel in hand, and it didn't take much effort to successfully build a bonfire.
Then he climbed the poplar tree and broke some branches down. Although there was already a campfire, he still didn't want to sleep directly on the sand.
Next comes the most critical thing........ Fetch water!
Yes, he had to find a way to get some water from the poplar tree, otherwise, he would have to drink urine.
When he came to the poplar tree, Cheng Fei first used a dogleg knife to cut a gap in the tree pole one meter above the ground, and then he picked up a sharpened wooden thorn and plunged it into the tree pole from the gap.
"Tuk!"
With a muffled sound, the wooden thorn was driven straight into the depths of the tree pole!
This sharpened wooden thorn is about a meter long and the thickness of a thumb, which is actually a branch that Cheng Fei had broken off from the tree before, which he pruned and sharpened.
Poplar trees are hard, and for ordinary people, let alone such a wooden thorn, even if it is an iron thorn steel drill, it is difficult to nail it deep into the tree pole.
Of course, this is for the average person.
Is Cheng Fei an ordinary person?
The body forging potion of the Starry Sky World and the superior martial arts of the Bitter Realm World, the two blessed each other, and he had already broken through the limits of the human body, possessing a huge strength of more than three thousand kilograms, which was by no means comparable to ordinary people.
However, even if he simply had huge strength, it was difficult to nail the wooden thorn into the heart of the tree, and with just one blow, Cheng Fei had already used the dark energy in his body.
The strength is outside, the dark strength is hidden, and the two forces are combined inside and outside, so that the wooden thorn has almost become a legendary magic weapon, and it can be nailed into the depths of the tree pole in one fell swoop.
As he pulled out the wooden thorns, a clear stream of water gushed out of the cave in a short time.
"Water!"
Seeing this, Cheng Fei hurriedly took out the kettle and used a small pot set outside to catch the water. In fact, this should be counted as tree pulp, which is more nutritious than water, and can be considered a natural drink.
At first, the water was a little muddy, but soon, the water began to clear up. Draining the urine from the kettle, Cheng Fei cleaned the kettle with muddy water, and then filled it with clean water.
The root system of poplar trees is very developed, can extend to more than ten or twenty meters underground, and has a strong water storage capacity, which can store a large amount of water in several roots and even tree stems in the peak water season for survival during the drought period.
The poplar tree in front of me is very large, so the water storage in the stem is also very large. Therefore, Cheng Fei easily filled a pot of water, and the small pot was also full.
The water was still flowing, Cheng Fei saw this, and hurriedly blocked the cave, but it was not good to lose too much water and threaten the survival of the poplar tree.
Tightly closing the lid of the kettle, Cheng Fei picked up the small pot and first tasted a little, unlike the ordinary river water, the water taken from the heart of the poplar tree can be drunk directly.
His eyes lit up suddenly.
I don't know if it's because he's too thirsty, but unexpectedly, the water in the poplar tree is not as unpleasant as expected, on the contrary, it tastes very good, with a hint of sweetness.
A sip of water into the stomach can really be described as a long-term drought, and it instantly moisturizes Cheng Fei's internal organs, which are already extremely short of water. But he didn't gulp because he was waiting for his body to adjust to the water.
That's right, the body of the warrior is strong, far beyond the average person, but this does not mean that the warrior can be unscrupulous, otherwise, once the damage to the foundation, it will affect the cultivation of martial arts, after all, as the saying goes, the body is the capital of the revolution!
The environment in the desert is harsh, and Cheng Fei must ensure his physical health, and it is best to maintain his best condition at all times.
He also has the advantage of a strong body, which allows him to quickly adapt to water after a lack of water.
"It should be fine. ”
It didn't take long for Cheng Fei to feel that it was almost over, and he hurriedly picked up the small pot and drank it in a big gulp.
"Happy!"
Drinking all the water in the small pot in one go, Cheng Fei couldn't help but roar, at this moment, he felt that his whole person was alive.
Then he ate some more cacti, filled them a little, and then lay down on the fresh branches and leaves by the campfire, closed his eyes, and fell asleep.
The desert is silent at night, with the occasional wind blowing through and rolling up the sand with a subtle rustling sound. The night sky was cloudless, and the bright moonlight cast a layer of silver glow, staining the entire desert with a silver color.
At about three or four o'clock in the morning, when the sky was just dawning, Cheng Fei woke up, he extinguished the bonfire, and set out on the journey again.
Although he got water from the poplar tree, it was impossible for him to survive for a month with such a tree alone, and the top priority was to find a water source.
The second is food, and food is also important.
It's been more than a day, and he's only eaten a scorpion and some cacti, and even though he has reduced his energy loss as much as possible by relying on the ability to close the acupoint, it can't last long.
Walking on the desert, Cheng Fei moved forward at great speed, and while moving forward, he did not forget to pay attention to the ground around him, hoping to find some food.
It's just that what disappointed him was that for more than an hour, the sky was already bright, and he didn't find anything, so he could only move on, and time always seemed so slow in adversity.
I don't know how long I've walked, and I don't know how far I've walked, all in all, at this moment, Cheng Fei's mind is full of food.
"Bell .........."
In a trance, Cheng Fei seemed to hear a hint of a bell, and then, a sense of threat, with a cold chill, approached him.
"That's not right!"
After concentrating for a moment, Cheng Fei's eyes were directed, and within his line of sight, he saw a yellow and green poisonous snake, like a bolt of lightning, rushing towards him.
"Smack!"
At the moment of danger, Cheng Fei showed the extraordinary ability of a martial artist, and as soon as he subconsciously raised his hand, he grabbed the seven inches of the poisonous snake, and his strength was vigorous, directly breaking the bones of his whole body.
This is a rattlesnake, which is very common in the desert and is very venomous, and in the case of this one, which is almost a meter, it is not a problem at all to poison a few adults.
Thinking of the scene just now, Rao is Cheng Fei couldn't help but feel a little afraid, if he was bitten, I was afraid that even if he didn't die, he would have to suffer a lot. However, a little fear was replaced by joy in an instant, because he was so hungry, and this snake was like a big piece of meat that was automatically delivered to his door!
Really.......... It's so timely...........
