Chapter 33: The Third Night
After Zheng Guo finished eating the soft-shell turtle and the red diamond fruit, he sat cross-legged with his back against the boulder and carried the Shangyuan Heart Sutra. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
After five minutes, the internal breath in the lower abdomen gradually calmed down and re-concentrated and condensed into a liquid state.
The tiredness of the body has also decreased, and the muscles are no longer so sore, and the effect of this short five minutes is comparable to sleeping for two or three hours.
In the process of exercising, there is a faint heat emitted from the body, which gathers to the top of the head, and then rises into the air.
The audience was stunned.
This is simply the same as the cultivation state of the martial arts master in the TV series, I thought it was an artistic exaggeration on TV, but I didn't expect the real situation to be like this!
After a hasty rest, Zheng Guo was at least less passive.
But there was still silence all around, and there was no sign of a crisis coming.
Zheng Guo packed up his things, picked up the bone knife, touched the grass again, and walked towards the jungle with his waist bent.
He wanted to make a decision as soon as possible while it was still dawn, no matter what the outcome, this was a must. Otherwise, when it gets completely dark, the situation will be even more unfavorable for him.
Zheng Guo, like a guerrilla, clings to the trunk of a tree, running from one tree to another. With the blessing of light power, the speed is as fast as a gust of wind.
Still not the slightest sign of the enemy is seen. Whether it was behind the tree, on the tree, or in the grass, Zheng Guo had carefully surveyed it, and there was no half of a figure.
Strange to strange, Zheng Guo still breathed a sigh of relief.
"The surroundings are safe for the time being, but the possibility of the other party going and returning cannot be ruled out, and we cannot relax our vigilance." Zheng Guo said to the camera, "It's getting dark, it's dangerous to walk in the jungle at night, and I plan to build a shelter here to rest for the night." ”
Don't beep if you don't understand: "By the lake?" Will there be wild beasts to drink water at night? ”
Zheng Guo nodded: "It's very likely, so it's best not to camp close to the lake." ”
Zheng Guo turned his back on the lake and walked towards the depths of the jungle, and continued: "Just now I saw a dead old tree more than ten meters away over there, the inside of the trunk is almost hollow, it is very suitable for use as a shelter, and it only needs to be transformed slightly. ”
Soon he was in front of the tree he was talking about.
Compared to other trees, the tree in front of me is not very tall, but it is very thick, and it seems that there are no four or five people who can't hold it.
The trunk of the tree is cracked and rough, the ravines are vertical and horizontal, and the vicissitudes of life are uncertain, and I don't know how many years have passed.
Maybe it was hollowed out by insects, or maybe it was rotting from the inside after death, and the whole tree was almost only a layer of bark two or three inches thick on the outside.
A gap more than half a person high stretched up from the ground, and Zheng Guo used a dagger to widen this gap as an entrance.
When I put my head inside, I immediately smelled a strong smell of rotten wood, but the air was not humid, and it was even dry compared to the outside.
Dryness is, of course, a good thing for a shelter.
Zheng Guo looked at both sides, then looked up again, and found no snakes, insects, rats, ants and the like lurking in it.
In addition to the entrance, there are several smaller gaps in the trunk, but they are not a big problem and are enough to shelter from the wind and rain. Because the rain in the jungle is generally straight up and down, there are few violent storms.
"That's it for tonight."
Zheng Guo climbed into the tree hole and lay down in various positions, which was not comfortable, but it was quite spacious.
"Although it is convenient here, there is also a fatal flaw, if there is a wild beast to block the door, it will be a turtle in an urn, so I have to do some protective measures."
The first line of protection is to light a bonfire.
No matter what kind of wilderness you are in, making a fire is always the most important thing, and it can be said that as long as you build a fire, the goal of survival is half the battle.
Zheng Guo went to the lake and collected a large bundle of hay, some of which was used as a fire starter, and the rest was spread in the hollow of the tree so that he could sleep more comfortably at night.
Picked up a few more branches.
Because it has just rained, and most of these branches are hidden in the grass, not completely dried, it is difficult to use it to make a fire, after igniting the ignition, you can't put these semi-dry firewood into it, the trick is to put it small first and then enlarge, and pay attention to leave enough gaps, gradually dry the firewood, and finally ignite.
For the second line of protection, Zheng Guo planned to hang some thorny vines at the entrance.
When he was patrolling around the lake before, he had seen a kind of spiked vine wrapped around many trees, apparently as a means of self-protection, using spikes to warn predators not to approach, so he thought he could use it.
A few thorny vines were cut down and hung at the entrance to the tree cavity like a curtain, creating a simple barrier.
This barrier may seem weak in the eyes of intelligent life, but it is still very effective for ordinary beasts.
The third line of protection is to make a trap.
Zheng Guo planned to set up a tripline and rope noose with a nylon rope in front of the entrance of the tree hole and behind the bonfire, as long as a wild beast approached and touched the tripline, the weight that bypassed the trunk would suddenly fall, pull the rope noose to tighten, tie the beast's feet, and hang it up.
This trap is very simple, even if it can't trap the prey, at least it can warn him in advance and give him a few seconds more time to react.
In addition, Zheng Guo set up another kind of trap next to the lake, also using tripwires, if a prey approached the lake at night to trigger the trap, a boulder suspended by the rope would fall vertically, crushing the prey to death.
This is preparing for tomorrow's food, hoping to catch a game that can be eaten.
If you want to increase the catch rate of traps, you can increase the number of traps in addition to making the traps themselves more subtle and clever.
Zheng Guo set up a total of five such traps around the lake, replacing them with vines if the rope was insufficient, and using other heavy objects if there were no boulders.
After the arrangement, Zheng Guo returned to the campfire, ready to say a few words to the sailors and then broadcast.
I just ate a soft-shell turtle that has not yet broken its shell, plus a red diamond fruit, which is really not much in terms of quantity alone, Zheng Guo feels that his belly is still empty.
Since he started to practice national arts, his appetite has become better and better, and sometimes he even feels that he can't eat enough, and he can't tell whether it is a good thing or a bad thing.
Fortunately, the nutritional value of the soft-shell turtle and the red rhombus fruit is very high, which can give him enough calories. In this environment, don't expect to be full.
After experiencing the ambush incident, don't look at Zheng Guo still explaining to the camera from time to time, he can't see the look of worry, in fact, his nerves have not relaxed for a moment.
Always be vigilant, try not to do things that don't matter, and wait quietly for the dawn.
"Sailors, I've been through a lot today, and I'm also very tired, so I want to rest as soon as possible." He looked at the barrage and said regretfully, "I won't sing tonight, I'm sorry everyone, I have time to make up for you." ”
As soon as singing was mentioned, the sailors who were still reluctant suddenly changed their attitudes.
"Guo Ye is polite, rest well, and see you tomorrow."
"Supplement? No, no, it's all your own people. ”
"When are you going to make it up? I happened to have something that day and couldn't watch the live broadcast. ”
"Guo Ye, if you have time to find Sister Muzi to learn to sing, your voice is not ugly, but the sound is really terrible! Annoying! Annoying!! ”
Hearing that he was going to go off the air, there were more than 50,000 people in the live broadcast room all of a sudden, and most of them returned to Muzi's live broadcast room, scrambling to report to Muzi what happened after she left.
Zheng Guo was about to turn off the broadcast, when he suddenly heard a popping sound not far away, accompanied by a sharp chirp similar to that of a mouse.
He and the sailors were stunned, and soon someone reacted.
The trap has been triggered!
Zheng Guo took a burning firewood from the fire and walked towards the lake with a bone knife.
The sun had gone down, the moon had not yet risen, and the sky was cloudy, without even a little starlight, Zheng Guo could only rely on the faint light from the firewood in his hand to advance.
Checking the traps one by one, finally under a rough log, found the unlucky prey.
Only the head is exposed, which at first glance looks like a mouse. The face is long, the size of a palm, and the two large teeth protrude outwards very prominently.
Zheng Guo was a little disappointed, he didn't know this animal, he didn't know if he could eat it, and this rat-eyed mouse made people lose their appetite at first glance.
Hang the giant tree up and set the trap again.
The flame of the firewood is getting smaller and smaller, and it is about to be extinguished, so it is better to return to the camp before the flame is gone, otherwise it will be very dark and insecure.
Although he didn't know if he could eat it, Zheng Guo still planned to take the prey back and study it.
To know that the organisms in an ecosphere are all connected, and analyzing one of the organisms, it is possible to infer a lot of information about the ecosphere, and this does not require much professional biological knowledge, as long as a little logical reasoning ability.
Just looking at its head, it looks like a giant mouse, and looking at its whole body, it is more like a squirrel, especially the big fluffy tail, which is almost as big as its body.
Zheng Guo carried the tail of the prey and touched it back to the camp.
Feeling the light and warmth brought by the bonfire, my heart suddenly felt much more steady.
Zheng Guo placed the prey by the campfire and carefully observed it by the light of the fire.
The head really looks like a big mouse, and because of the inherent impression, it always looks a little disgusting.
Water friends call out spicy eyes.
"Can this be taken down?"
"Piercing the old iron."
"Guoye, if you eat this big mouse, people won't kiss you in the future, hum!"
"There must be a man upstairs."
Zheng Guo explained that he didn't want to eat it, but to dissect it to see if he could get some useful information.
Seeing that he was delayed from broadcasting, the sailors were of course very happy and actively participated in the barrage interaction.
"Anatomy? This is your shortcoming. ”
"Last time, I wanted to peel off the fur of the dinosaur leopard, but I was disemboweled directly with a shake of my hand, and I was impressed."
"Haha, does Guo Ye also have skills that he is not good at? I feel so happy inexplicably. ”
"To put it lightly, you thought dissection was so easy? There are a lot of precautions in it, and you must follow certain rules, otherwise you will definitely not be able to draw any conclusions if you dissect them randomly. Don't doubt it, I'm a Ph.D. student in biology, teaching you how to be a human being. ”
"With the biology major, the upstairs prefect is right, it's not that simple."
"It's really that simple, haven't we learned in vain in the past few years?"
"I suspect that the anchor doesn't understand the meaning of the word autopsy at all, a typical layman's thinking, thinking that dissection is to dismember a corpse with a dagger? Take it for granted and be self-righteous! ”
"This knowledge is very deep, isn't it normal, what kind of superiority do you show."
"No one is perfect, Guo Ye can't dissect, do you know how to do national arts?"
"If you have this time, it's better to give Guo Ye a little mentions, what kind of show!"
There are also Zheng Guo's brain-dead fans who announced that they believe in him unconditionally, in their hearts, Guo Ye is the authority, and Guo Ye is omnipotent.
Zheng Guo saw the doubts in the barrage, and he didn't argue. People didn't wronged him, he really can't dissect, but he will do it soon, he is a systematic person.
Pull up the personal panel, open the survival skills area, search for "biological anatomy", and sure enough, I found a skill book with a price tag of two hundred coupons.
After the purchase, there are 220 regular coupons left.
Useful skills should be bought, and you can't feel distressed.
When I opened the biological anatomy skill book, my brain immediately received a lot of information, and at the same time, there seemed to be two currents flowing down my arm to my fingers, and there was a tingling.
Looking at the prey again, several sets of plans suddenly emerged at the same time. This includes where to start and where to pay extra attention.
"Sailors, keep your eyes open."
Zheng Guo smiled at the camera, the knife in his hand flashed, and the tip of the dagger had already opened a hole in the belly of the prey.
