Putting away the fishing line, Ye Xuan stepped on the thick snow and came to the dead wood where he found the bait yesterday. The dagger was removed and tossed around the dead wood for a while, eventually finding three very small white larvae.

Pinching one and putting it in front of the live camera, Ye Xuan said: "Almost 80% of the bodies of these larvae are protein. It's a little smaller, but it's better than nothing. In such cold temperatures, the body burns calories all the time, so don't give up any opportunity to replenish energy. ”

Throwing a bug into his mouth, he kept hypnotizing himself while chewing on him, while raising his eyebrows and saying, "Yes, chicken flavor." ”

After watching a few episodes of the show, the audience in the live broadcast room has seen a lot of heavy scenes, and at this moment, seeing Ye Xuan eating this kind of small bug, he feels a little fresh.

"It looks pretty good. ”

"Eating insects, sure enough, it's still very fresh and refined. ”

"Yes, you can, the patriarch's self-hypnosis technique is getting better and better!"

"No crunchy, bad reviews!"

"I've eaten this kind of bug, and when fried, it's like a wine artifact. ”

"666, the patriarch is forcibly hypnotizing himself again. ”

"Nima, it's not easy to do anything now, you need to learn psychological hypnosis to survive in the wilderness. ”

"When will you eat brown bears?"

After eating the insects in his hand, Ye Xuan returned to the igloo, and after packing up his things, he climbed out with his backpack.

Standing on the edge of the lake, looking at the white lake in front of him and the snow-covered jungle on the opposite bank, Ye Xuan touched his chin and fell into deep thought, and then said: "The snow near the forest line is too thick, I have to think of a way to increase the speed of travel." ”

Back in the jungle, Ye Xuan found a very thick piece of dead wood. After taking out the dagger, Ye Xuan explained, "My idea is to use this piece of dead wood to cut out two wide planks. When these two planks are tied to my feet, they increase the contact area with the snow, which makes it much easier for me to walk. The principle is the same as the wide paws of reindeer. ”

As he spoke, Ye Xuan had already begun to move. Although the dagger was sharp, it could not be used for chopping like an axe, so he had to pick up a wooden stick, like a chisel, and keep hitting the back of the dagger to make the dagger split the dead wood.

Half an hour later, two one-centimeter-thick and somewhat uneven planks appeared in his hands. After using a dagger to flatten the two fifteen-centimeter-square planks as much as possible, Ye Xuan tied them to his shoes with shoelaces.

After trying to walk a few steps back in the snow, he found that the effect was quite good, and after increasing the contact area, although his feet would still sink with each step, it was no longer completely submerged in the thighs as before, but only to the position above the bare feet.

"To be honest, the results were beyond my expectations. It took me half an hour to make it, but the planks at least doubled my travel speed. Alright, ladies and gentlemen, let's go!"

Walking on the ice of the lake looks like a duck strolling from a distance, and the picture is very joyful. But the effect was as he said, and the speed of travel was much faster. Originally, if he wanted to cross this lake with a diameter of several kilometers, it would take Ye Xuan at least two hours. Now in less than an hour at most, you can cross the lake and enter the jungle on the opposite side.

There is nothing to cover the surface of the lake and the view is very open. Ye Xuan pointed to the jungle on the other side of the distance as he walked and said, "Do you see that jungle? Stepping into that jungle is considered to have officially entered the interior of Alaska." But with it comes the dangers of being inland, as Alaska is home to not only brown bears, but also black bears, and the largest population of black bears in the world. The North American black bear is the third largest bear in size after the polar bear and the brown bear, and there is a large difference in size between males and females. Male black bears can generally grow up to 2.5 meters and weigh up to 280 kilograms. ”

"You know, in North America, black bears attack people much more times a year than Alaskan brown bears. Whether it's a brown bear or a black bear, I don't want to encounter it, and the force of their palm slapping can directly smash my head. Glancing at the barrage, he continued: "Hibernation? I found out that you have a misconception that not all bears hibernate in winter. First of all, bears are not true hibernation animals. Because in the vast majority of cases, bears do not hibernate in well-fed environments. ”

"Secondly, bears hibernate differently than other animals, they just lower their metabolism and go into shallow dormancy. As soon as there is movement or hunger, they will wake up and come out of the cave in search of food. So, don't think that in winter, you won't encounter bears. ”

As Ye Xuan got closer and closer to the jungle on the other side, his heart sank a little bit. Because he could clearly feel that the snow under his feet was getting less and less, and the ice was getting thinner, and he could even hear the wail of the overwhelmed ice when he stepped on it.

"Click!"

At this moment, a crisp sound of ice cracking sounded in Ye Xuan's ears. Suddenly, he stood there and didn't dare to move. Such a crisp sound indicates that the ice under the feet in front of you has completely cracked, and if you continue to walk forward, there is a great possibility of falling into the icy lake.

This scene made his whole person gasp.

When the average temperature is below -19 degrees, the ice on the lake should be so strong that people can walk on it, even if you drive. But now, the ice beneath his feet is shattering, which only shows that there is an undercurrent in the waters near below.

"Did you hear that? It was the sound of the ice cracking on the surface of the lake. There is definitely an undercurrent in the lake at the foot of this neighborhood. Otherwise, the ice here wouldn't be so fragile. Ye Xuan was a little painful, he didn't expect such trouble to occur near the end, which made him angry and said: "Fake, why are you so unlucky, it seems that you have to take a detour." ”

As he spoke, he took a slight step back, ready to turn around the area.

But as soon as there was a movement under his feet, he heard a series of sounds of ice breaking, which kept resounding under his feet.

At this time, the audience in the live broadcast room, looking at Ye Xuan's Sima face, turned on the crazy mockery mode.

This time I held back and didn't laugh. ”

"Lake: I think I heard someone pretending to be forced last night!"

"666, Patriarch to tell the truth, you are really poisonous. ”

"Patriarch, don't pretend to be forced in the future, there will be retribution every time. ”

"I'm really convinced, I've never seen anyone with such a crow's mouth. ”

"The most important thing to be a human being is to be optimistic!"

"Patriarch, you can perform light skills to float on the water..."

"I'm most afraid of the sudden silence in the air. ”

Ye Xuan was really hurting at the moment, now the sun had just risen, and the temperature was still around minus 20 degrees. If you fall into the water, it won't take long to freeze into a popsicle.

And he didn't dare to go forward now, let alone retreat, and the series of cracking sounds just now showed that the ice around him had cracked. The cracked ice beneath his feet seemed to be at a tipping point, and if he took a step, he would definitely fall into the lake.

"I'm in a really awkward situation, and at this temperature, if I fall into the lake, I have less than a 20% chance of survival. Looking at the live broadcast camera, Ye Xuan continued: "A few years ago, an explorer from the United States came to the Arctic Circle, and he encountered a river. The dude died on his own, and put his hand into the river in less than thirty seconds. When he took his hand out, the whole hand had lost sensation, the little finger was severely frostbitten, and the nerve endings and blood vessels on it were all necrotic. In the end, in order to prevent the frostbite from worsening, he had to cut off his little finger. ”

The ice is buoyant and stretchable, and at a distance of 300 meters, Ye Xuan calculated that if he ran with all his strength and was fast enough, he could pass quickly in the first 200 meters or so while the ice was not completely broken, but the last 100 meters, due to its proximity to the river bank, was the weakest place in the ice, and he would fall into it 100%.
