Kavenu is a typical coral island, the island is not large in size and has no value due to the lack of a stable source of fresh water, so it has not been developed to this day. In the vast Pacific Ocean, there are at least tens of thousands of uninhabited desert islands like this.

Walking through the jungle inside the island, Ye Xuan introduced: "Generally speaking, on the desert islands of the South Pacific, there are very few venomous snakes and large predators, because they are completely isolated from the mainland. ”

Although there were no poisonous snakes, Ye Xuan did not seem very relaxed, the temperature at noon was too high. The trees in the jungle, although they can block the sun, also block the sea breeze, and this feeling of heat is even stronger than in the desert at that time.

These words made the audience in the live broadcast room a little puzzled, and they couldn't help but launch barrage inquiries.

"GodTM: There are no poisonous snakes in the South Pacific. ”

"I'm not convinced!"

"Isn't the ten most poisonous snakes in the world in the South Pacific Ocean?"

"No, I remember there were several desert islands, all of which were full of poisonous snakes. ”

"+1! There is indeed Snake Island, I forgot the name of that island. ”

"Good boys, you mentally retarded people are starting?"

"I'm really worried about your intelligence. ”

"I think it's necessary for you to learn the classification of islands. ”

Looking at the barrage in the live broadcast room, Ye Xuan wiped the sweat on his forehead and explained: "There are roughly three types of islands, namely mainland islands, coral islands and volcanic islands. The snake island you are talking about belongs to the mainland island, an island formed by separating from the continental plate. Unlike volcanic islands, coral islands are formed by coral reefs and volcanic eruptions, and have no connection to the mainland, so it is almost impossible for animals on land to appear on these two islands. ”

"There are indeed many venomous snakes in Australia, but do you think these vipers have the ability to cross thousands of nautical miles of the Pacific Ocean to this desert island?"

Also a reptile, the saltwater crocodile is the only one with the ability to cross the strait. But that's only a few hundred nautical miles offshore, and it's impossible to cross the open sea, let alone a venomous snake.

Unlike volcanic islands, coral islands are generally not very high, rarely exceeding 20 meters above sea level. Walking through it, Ye Xuan tried to find a water source while exploring.

There is no groundwater on the islands, but that doesn't mean there is no fresh water. It was the rainy season now, and Ye Xuan was sure that there was definitely rainwater stored somewhere on the island.

For more than an hour, he found nothing.

The whole desert island looks like a flat land, and there is no such thing as a commanding height.

That's when a banana tree caught his eye.

"Haha, ladies and gentlemen, I found a banana tree. Ye Xuan pointed to the banana tree in front of him and said happily: "Luckily, with this banana tree, I can not only have bananas to eat, but also use banana leaves to build the roof of the shelter." ”

The banana tree is three or four meters tall and has a bunch of black and purple bananas hanging from the top. These bananas are small, only the length of the index finger, and they look like the bananas sold in the market, which are completely different kinds of fruits.

"It's... It seems to be a wild banana. Ye Xuan frowned, carefully recalling the knowledge in his mind, and his tone was a little uncertain.

It seems that most people have the impression that bananas should be long, thick, and yellow. The big string in front of me really makes it impossible to associate it with bananas.

"I don't read much, don't lie to me. ”

"What's funny? What the hell is this banana?"

"With all due respect, I really don't see any connection between this thing and bananas. ”

"Good boy, genetic mutations won't become so exaggerated!"

"This TM is a plantain!"

"Patriarch, I can tell you with certainty that this is a banana tree, not a banana tree. ”

"Haha, it turns out that the patriarch also doesn't understand. ”

"Now I can say out loud: Patriarch, you colored pen. ”

Banana?

Looking at the barrage on his phone, Ye Xuan suddenly realized. I just had a preconceived idea that it was a banana. Looking back now, it was indeed Basho.

Although the two plants are very similar, there are still some notable differences. Banana trees are shorter and fatter with wider leaves. The banana tree, on the other hand, is straight and slender, and only at the top is the branch and leaf branch. The characteristics of the plant in front of me are consistent with the banana tree.

"It was indeed a mistake in my judgment just now, this is not a banana, but a wild plantain. ”

Ye Xuan didn't feel ashamed, it was impossible for one person to know all the plants in the world, and his study time was only three months in total, so it was inevitable that some mistakes would occur.

Wrong is wrong, and it is generous to admit it. If you quibble for the sake of so-called face, it will be disgusting.

"But you can eat plantains, so I'm going to get them down and try them. ”

The whole plantain tree is useful to him, the plantain leaves can be used to build the roof of the shelter, the bark fibers can be used as rope when dried, the core can be eaten, and the roots can be used to draw water. For survivors on a desert island, it is simply a perfect survival plant.

It is no wonder that many survival experts believe that the plantain tree is second only to bamboo for survivors.

As he spoke, he took out his dagger and cut down the entire plantain tree in two or three strokes.

Ye Xuan squatted on the ground, ignoring the trunk of the tree, but pointed to the root of the tree and said, "The root of the banana tree can be used to draw water, and there is a lot of water. The method is simple, just use a dagger to dig a groove in the root of the bowl. ”

Like banana trees, the inside of the trunk is filled with fluffy fibers filled with moisture. The sharp dagger, almost like slicing tofu, quickly dug out a ten-centimeter-deep groove.

Pulling out the crumbs from the groove with his hands, he smiled and said, "That's it, at most half an hour, this groove will be filled with water, and now I'm going to try the plantain first." ”

There are at least thirty or forty plantains in a whole bunch, and the portions are very heavy. The plantain looked particularly weird, Ye Xuan broke one off with some disgust, and took it in his hand to observe it carefully. This thing is black and purple all over, and if you don't know that it's a plantain, it's easy to mistake it for a poisonous fruit.

To be honest, wild plantain was the first time he saw it and the first time he ate it. Ye Xuan tried to use the method of eating bananas and wanted to peel off the skin, but found that he couldn't peel it off at all, so he finally simply took a bite of it.

"Kazi!"

A crisp sound came from the mouth. Hearing this voice, a bad premonition suddenly rose in his heart, this play was very hard, like a chestnut.

He bit out a crack in the outer skin of the plantain, and Ye Xuan broke it along the crack. The inside of a wild plantain is similar to that of a banana, with a creamy yellow color, but it has many black cores that are densely packed and disgusting at first glance.

For a while, Ye Xuan's face was full of black question marks, and he was puzzled: "What the hell?

He has eaten the plantain sold in the market a few times, and he feels no different from the banana. But the wild plantain in front of me is completely different.

The black core was very hard, Ye Xuan pinched some milky yellow flesh with his fingers and put it in his mouth to taste it, and then immediately spit it out, it was too bitter. It's bitter and astringent, and it's completely unswallowable.

"This thing can't be eaten!" Throwing away the plantain with a disgusted face, Ye Xuan took out the dagger and continued: "I hope the plantain core won't let me down." ”

The core of the plantain is the core of the whole tree, and he holds the dagger and easily breaks the trunk of the plantain tree through the middle. In the center of the trunk, there is a milky white core, which is not thick, only two fingers in diameter.

Ye Xuan cut off a piece of plantain core, took a bite, and chewed slowly.

Soon, I saw him raise his eyebrows, take a big bite again, and praise: "Well, the plantain core is unexpectedly delicious." It has a lot of moisture, a crisp texture, a slightly sweet taste, and a faint fragrance. ”
