Chapter 200: The Death Gaze

The river appeared just in time, downstream to the southeast of where he was going, which saved him a lot of trouble.

Except in some special environments, the waterway is definitely better than the land route, first of all, the speed of travel, which is at least several times faster than walking through the jungle. In addition, it is safer to avoid wild beasts and poisonous snakes and insects on land. The security mentioned here is relative, because in the wilderness, there is no place for absolute safety.

Of course, he understands the truth, but now the problem is, there is no rope!

There is a large amount of dead wood to work on the banks of the river, which is very dry and many times more buoyant than fresh wood. As long as he has a rope, he can make a raft in a short time.

Thinking of this, Ye Xuan scratched his head and frowned, "At this time, the importance of the rope is highlighted. There are very few daylight hours here, so I can't waste too much time and have to get the raft done as quickly as possible. ”

Touching his chin and thinking for a moment, he finally searched for useful knowledge in his mind. I saw him put down his backpack and smiled at the camera: "There is a way, audience, watch and study hard." ”

With that, Ye Xuan put down his backpack and turned around and walked into the jungle.

After a few minutes of wandering in the jungle on the shore, he soon found his goal, which was a large green tree, five or six meters high, with dense branches and leaves, growing lushly.

Walking forward quickly, Ye Xuan patted the trunk of the tree and explained: "This is a spruce, this tree is a continent tree in Alaska, and they can be seen everywhere in the central and southeastern regions. The root skin of spruce trees is soft and strong, making them ideal for weaving rope. Many years ago, the local Indians would make canoes out of rope woven from spruce roots and birch bark. ”

With that, he had already crouched down and started to move.

Sweeping away the thin layer of snow on the ground, he began to dig the roots of the tree with a wooden stick in his hand.

In the extreme low temperature, the soil was frozen hard, and it was very difficult to dig, and it didn't take long for him to run out of breath. Fortunately, the roots of the spruce tree are relatively shallow, and after digging two or three centimeters deep, you can see the thick brown roots. Then, Ye Xuan held the dagger in his hand and easily peeled off the skin of the tree roots.

Holding the bark more than one meter long in front of the camera, Ye Xuan smiled: "Spruce bark contains a lot of coarse fibers, so weaving rope is very simple, just keep beating it with a wooden stick until the bark becomes soft." ”

It took more than half an hour, and a total of seven or eight strands of bark were peeled, before he stopped.

Returning to the shore with the bark, Ye Xuan put all the bark on a stone, and kept beating it hard as he held a thick wooden stick.

As the beating continues, the impurities and water in the bark gradually fall off, and eventually only a handful of yellowish coarse fibers remain. At this time, the reserve food, which had been sleeping soundly, was awakened by the sound of beating, and laboriously drilled out of the gap in the zipper with his little head. After seeing that the noise was made by Ye Xuan, the little guy actually whined at him dissatisfiedly.

"Huh?"

Ye Xuan turned his head and glanced at the little guy, ignoring it, and continued to beat the bark of the tree roots.

Reserve Grain was startled by this look, and immediately retracted his head back into his backpack, silent.

Seeing this scene, the audience in the live broadcast room launched a barrage one after another.

"It's great for my patriarch, and the bark can also make rope. ”

"Yes, I learned another trick. ”

"No, the reserve grain is too cute. ”

"A bloody face. ”

"True Death Gaze!"

"Laughing and peeing, the reserve food trembled with fright. ”

"Reserve grain: MMP, suddenly I have a bad premonition. ”

The rope was quickly completed, Ye Xuan put down the wooden stick and began to build the raft.

So far, he has made several rafts, and practice makes perfect. First, I found two thigh-thick dead tree trunks as the frame of the raft, and then tied some thinner dead wood to the frame firmly. In less than twenty minutes, a raft was completed.

In the end, Ye Xuan returned to the jungle and peeled off a pile of birch bark.

Spreading the birch bark evenly on the raft, he explains: "The birch bark is very waterproof, and it can be used not only to make canoes, but also into pots and bowls and other kitchen utensils. Spreading these birch barks on a raft keeps me warm and isolated from the cold, biting water. ”

It's just that from any angle, the raft has no beauty and is extremely rudimentary. He was in a hurry now, how could he have time to refine it, if it wasn't for the temperature being too low, Ye Xuan would even want to jump into the water directly holding a log. For him, every minute and every second counts, and it is about his own life.

Patting the dirt and dust on his hands, Ye Xuan came to the backpack, opened the zipper and looked, and his face was suddenly covered with black lines. I saw the reserve girl curled up in a ball, lying very comfortably on the emergency medical kit, and more than a dozen rabbit eye lingonberries were placed beside her. At this moment, the little guy is eating rabbit eye lingonberries without a bite, not to mention how pleasant it is.

Damn, this guy still knows how to hide food.

Ye Xuan pursed his lips, thinking about it, he was a little unconvinced, so he directly reached out and snatched a few rabbit eye lingonberries and stuffed them into his mouth, and then regardless of the reaction of the reserve grain, he pulled the backpack zipper to death.

After putting on his backpack again and pushing the raft down the river, Ye Xuan jumped on the raft quickly, and then slowly pushed the raft to the center of the river with a wooden stick, and said with a smile: "The raft is very stable, let's go!"

The audience in the live broadcast room saw that Ye Xuan was full of confidence, and they began to taunt one after another.

For a while, the barrage on the screen was 'Must Sink No. 3', and Ye Xuan's face was full of black lines. This group of viewers can't expect him to be good, even if it won't sink, they will be cursed by this group of audiences.

The river was not turbulent, and it drifted steadily downstream. Not only is it safe to ride on a raft, but it can travel several times faster than in the jungle. Moreover, Ye Xuan saw through the clear river water that there were several rainbow trout and pike at the bottom of the water. As soon as he reaches the lower reaches, he can catch a few fish to replenish the protein.

Not only is he out of danger, but he will also have food to eat later, thinking of this, Ye Xuan's mood became happy. smiled at the live camera: "I'm sorry to disappoint you." The raft is stable and does not sink. The river has a smooth flow and will not sink at all as long as there are no accidents. ”

Under the influence of the polar night of the Arctic Circle, even though it is now noon, the sun looks a little hazy, as if it is covered with a veil.

Ye Xuan sat on the raft and drifted for more than an hour. He even thought that if he could keep drifting at this speed, he would be able to get out of the mountains tonight.

"Honestly, if you can calm down, you will see that the view here is actually very good. In the distance, towering snow-capped mountains are lined with lush jungles, the water is crystal clear, and the banks are filled with insects and birds. Many times, you need to relax and relax your tense nerves and enjoy the beauty of nature, and you will find... Hold the grass!"

Before Ye Xuan finished speaking, he let out an exclamation. In front of the river, the terrain suddenly becomes steeper, and there are countless large rocks on both sides of the river, which narrows the river and makes the current more rapid. It can be clearly seen that the white waves are constantly tumbling.

"Fake, don't hit the rock!"

Lowering his body and lying on the raft, Ye Xuan tried hard to adjust the direction of the raft. But a raft is not a boat, let alone a raft that takes ten minutes to build?

"Bang!"

In the end, the raft was pushed straight by the current to the stones, and the violent impact made the whole raft shake suddenly. Fortunately, Ye Xuan lowered his body in advance and firmly grasped the raft with both hands, otherwise he would definitely fall into the water this time.

But it wasn't over, the reaction force from the impact brought the raft back to the center of the river, and then with the current, the raft hit the second stone again, and then the third...

In just ten seconds, the rudimentary raft was torn apart. Ye Xuan fell into the water without any suspense, and for a while, the cold and biting lake water submerged him completely. When a person is suddenly exposed to hypothermia, the blood vessels in the upper and lower parts of the body will suddenly constrict, which will lead to insufficient blood supply, spasms or direct shock.

If you have a convulsion or shock in such a lake, there is only one result.

Therefore, Ye Xuan started the hunting rhythm at the first time, and all attributes increased, especially the increase in physical strength and endurance was very important. After a few seconds of adaptation, Ye Xuan quickly surfaced and hugged the wreckage of the raft tightly.

He could not go ashore at all, and the river was flanked by huge boulders that had been washed away by the water over the years, and had become extremely slippery. The most important thing is that the turbulent current has been rolling him in the center of the river, and he cannot swim to the shore at all.

Fortunately, Ye Xuan pulled the zipper of his backpack to death before, otherwise the little arctic fox would have been drowned by now.

Ye Xuan could only barely float on the surface of the river with the wreckage of the raft in his arms, and then floated along the river to the flat water, trying to find a way to get ashore. The icy river water quickly made his hands and feet unconscious, and blood instinctively poured back into his body to protect the core temperature of his vital organs.

In the rushing water, this is a very scary thing. Because the nerve endings in the hands and feet are paralyzed by the frost, they do not feel pain. If you hit a stone, you can't feel even a broken bone, and if you can't treat it in time, this kind of injury can cause big trouble.

"I'm really obedient, I've never seen anyone with a crow's mouth as effective as the patriarch. ”

"After all, it will sink No. 3, and from the beginning of the construction of the raft, the ending has been doomed!"

"Okay, good, worthy of Bei Bishen!"

"I laughed so much that Lao Tzu's prostate fluid was about to come out. ”

"Pretending to be a second slap in the face, I only serve the patriarch. ”

"Patriarch, you can have a snack!

"River water: I think I heard someone pretending to be forced just now!"

"It's very strong, and the show is full of points. ”

Fortunately, such a turbulent section of the river is not long, it is about more than 50 meters washed by the current, and the river in front of it has become wider again, and the water surface is much calmer.

Ye Xuan took advantage of the fact that his arms and legs were not completely frozen, and hurriedly swam towards the shore. Back on the shore, he hurriedly moved his hands and feet, and at the same time walked quickly towards the jungle, and said in a trembling mouth, "Too... It's too TM cold. I had to quickly light a campfire to warm myself up and dry my clothes. ”
