Chapter 11: Natural Traps

Glancing at the gifts that kept flashing on the live broadcast screen of his mobile phone, Ye Xuan hurriedly thanked him: "Thank you for your gifts." Seeing that some viewers mentioned fire, explain that fire is also important in wilderness survival. Its ability to repel wild beasts, keep survivors warm, and cook food and fresh water can make the process of survival easier, but it is not essential. If you can't make a fire in some harsh environments, such as deserts and snow-capped mountains, you can't survive? Without fire, it's more difficult to survive, but if you don't have water and food, you can't survive at all. Do you understand what I mean?"

As he spoke, Ye Xuan picked up a long wooden stick from the ground and kept hitting the dense grass in front of him with every step.

At the same time, he explained: "HN has a tropical climate, which is the favorite environment of snakes. There are currently 74 species of snakes in HN, of which 27 are venomous snakes. In particular, this kind of tropical rainforest is a paradise for poisonous snakes. Early morning and evening are the most active times for snakes, and beating the grass like mine can frighten the snakes hiding in it, so that you can give early warning and effectively avoid being attacked by poisonous snakes. ”

Before coming here, Ye Xuan had made sufficient preparations and consulted a large amount of information. In the entire primeval rainforest of Jianfengling, the biggest threat to him is not the clouded leopard, but the ubiquitous poisonous snake. Zhoushan cobra, king cobra, bamboo leaf green, Vietnamese soldering iron head, original spearhead pit pit and so on, any of the above poisonous snakes can easily put people to death.

In the primeval jungle with inaccessibility, once you are bitten by them, even if you are lucky enough not to die, you will pay a heavy price.

So, in the face of these hidden killers, he had to be careful.

"Nima, 27 kinds of poisonous snakes, it's terrible!"

", anchor, please don't say it, I'm most afraid of snakes. ”

"Is the anchor looking for food next?"

"It should be to find water first, the anchor just said that fresh water is the most important thing to survive. ”

Glancing at the barrage on his mobile phone, Ye Xuan swallowed hard, "When you are trapped in the wilderness, don't panic, and don't copy some survival knowledge, but you need to calm down, judge the current environment, and decide what you should do in the next moment according to your own situation." Now the sun is about to set, and in an hour at most, it will be completely dark. It's too late to find water and food. So, all I have to do now is find a shelter. ”

Although he is thirsty now, he knows that he is far from dehydrated.

Ye Xuan's plan was to find a suitable shelter first, and if he had enough time, he could also build a bonfire. With campfire lighting, try your luck near the shelter and see if you can find some food.

The sun was setting in the west, and he was finally in the primeval rainforest.

The moment he entered the jungle, Ye Xuan only felt that the light suddenly dimmed, and countless tall trees blocked out the sunlight.

Although the light was much dimmer, it made Ye Xuan breathe a sigh of relief. Due to the lack of sunlight in the jungle, shrubs and weeds are sparse, and only in some open spaces that are not shaded by trees can he see large areas of dense bushes, which makes him not have to worry about being attacked by poisonous snakes all the time. Still, his steps were slow, and his eyes kept roaming back and forth, trying to find a suitable shelter.

Abundant rain and a suitable climate make the trees in the rainforest exceptionally tall, and here five or six meters tall can only be considered a younger brother, and eight or nine meters tall is considered qualified. Giant trees more than ten meters high abound.

Originally, Ye Xuan was also worried that the branches of trees in the rainforest would interfere with the flight of the drone, but now it seems that the worry is completely unnecessary. Because the trees are so tall, the drone can easily move freely 2 meters above him.

Stepping on the soft dead leaves, Ye Xuan felt a little stuffy in his chest, this feeling was like before a storm. In fact, the situation in the rainforest is no different from that on a cloudy day. Generally speaking, the higher the humidity in the air, the lower the air pressure, which is why he will feel a slight tightness in his chest.

Having just experienced a long rainy season, the smell of rot is now in the air throughout the jungle. It was as if everything was damp, and the moss on the ground, with a slight step on it, could seep out a lot of water.

Ye Xuan paused slightly when passing by a towering tree, the roots of this big tree were very thick, the key was that the inside was seriously rotten, forming a natural tree hole. After thinking about it for a moment, he didn't use this as a shelter, but moved on.

Glancing at the barrage in the live broadcast room in his hand, he explained: "This tree hole looks like a perfect shelter, but trust me, don't be fooled by appearances, if you stay here for one night, you will definitely end up in the emergency room of the hospital the next day." ”

"GodTM enters the emergency room, the anchor is really **. ”

"Stupid anchor, I can't live in a tree hole. ”

"Yes, yes, the anchor is a fool, as far as you are smart, a group of keyboard warriors guide the country. ”

"Laughing pee, there are keyboard warriors everywhere. ”

"Hehe, the anchor is your father? ”

"Nyima stinks, you can do it!"

The appearance of several trolls suddenly distorted the atmosphere in the live broadcast room, and at this moment, a scolding war was set off on the barrage.

No matter which live broadcast platform, there is always a group of professional spraying fools, they are never reasonable, and they just spray randomly. For this kind of person, you must not be soft, otherwise the atmosphere that you have worked so hard to build in the live broadcast room will be completely destroyed.

So Ye Xuan did not hesitate, and directly used his authority to seal a few rhythm trolls and kicked them out of the live broadcast room.

After doing this, he opened his mouth to explain: "Brothers, calm down, don't affect your mood because of a few trolls, you will lose if you are serious." The tree hole just now is actually a natural trap, once someone rushes to live in it, it will shed its skin without dying. ”

"Don't think that in this rainforest, only poisonous snakes and clouded leopards are threatened, and many neglected little ones can also take people's lives. Hidden in the thick dead leaves of the ground are countless mountain leeches, ticks and bugs, which not only feed on human blood, but also carry a large number of parasites and infectious diseases. And that tree hole looks perfect, but in fact the dark and damp environment is a breeding ground for these poisonous insects. If you sleep in it for one night, the end will be very miserable. ”

Ye Xuan continued while looking for shelter: "Just last year, a 30-year-old man in the local area was bitten by a hunting bug, and in just half an hour, he fell to the ground with convulsions. Fortunately, it was relatively close to the hospital at that time, and the rescue was timely, so a life was saved. ”

He wasn't scaring the audience in the live broadcast room, this incident was a real event, a news that he accidentally discovered when he checked the information some time ago.

There are even some species of bugs that can cause kala-azar in the person who bites.

In addition to the several poisonous insects he just mentioned, there is also a poisonous insect called cryptoptera in this rainforest. The insect secretes a highly acidic venom that, once it gets on the skin, can trigger dermatitis that causes skin ulcers. Even after healing, the wound will still have a very unsightly scar.

When this thing crawls on the body, it can't be killed, otherwise the venom in the body will cause extensive damage to the skin, and in serious cases, it will even cause complications and be life-threatening.

After listening to him, the audience in the live broadcast room couldn't help but make up a picture of poisonous insects crawling up and down their bodies, and suddenly felt their scalps numb.
