Survival male god

Chapter 297 Hunter?
After the thunder and lightning, light rain fell from the gray sky.

The drought here has lasted for nearly two months. Although God is stingy, he finally sprinkled some rare rain.

All living beings on the earth breathed a sigh of relief, including Chen Jing, who was hiding in the cave at the foot of the mountain.

Tick ​​tick tick, the water droplets falling from the stone are continuously thrown into the stainless steel kettle, making a crisp sound.

"Calculating the time, from May 5 to early September, it is exactly one hundred days."

"This is a long journey. We have traveled nearly 5000 kilometers."

"Looking back now, it was indeed very difficult."

Chen Jing took off his shoes and socks, and used a dagger to peel off the bloody scabs and dead skin on the soles of his feet bit by bit.

"Look, it's all gravel. Even if there is a sand-proof cover to cover the ankle gap, the sand will still get into the shoes. But then, I don't have to worry about it anymore."

"I actually have many other scars on my body."

"It's not that I'm being miserable, I just want everyone to know that sometimes, if I'm not lazy, I'll take a break for three to five months, more than half a year."

"Among all types of live broadcasts, outdoor adventures are the most difficult and torturous."

"The pain behind it is far beyond everyone's imagination."

"I have worked so hard, but there are still many places I haven't gone to, whether at home or abroad."

"When I am not live broadcasting, friends who like to watch programs such as outdoor adventure and wilderness survival can also check out other anchors and give them more support, so that the outdoor sector can get better and better."

"Next, I have to cross the Atlas Mountains. The remaining journey totals about [-] kilometers, which will take at least a month."

Chen Jing lamented the difficulty of live broadcasting.

The audience had watched for so long and naturally agreed with everything he said.

Assuming a person walks five kilometers per hour and walks ten hours a day, it will take him one hundred days to cover five thousand kilometers.

Moreover, the road conditions must be normal, and there must be sufficient supplies along the way.

The desert is not that easy. Without any supplies, you have to rely on yourself to eat, drink and sleep. In this case, it is Chen Jing.

If it were an ordinary person, I'm afraid he wouldn't be able to hold on for a few days without having to burp.

Not to mention that it took only three months to complete the entire North African desert. It is not an exaggeration to say that he is a god.

Everyone knows that Chen Jing is only one step away from success.

As long as he crosses the Atlas Mountains and reaches the human gathering place in Morocco, this guy will set a historical record and become the No. 1 person to hike across the Sahara in just four months.

"It's raining now, I can't go anywhere, and there's nothing to eat."

"When the rain stops tomorrow, we will start heading into the forest area, and then climb the mountain. The vegetation in the southern part of the Atlas Mountains is not particularly dense, but you can still find some food. There will be no shortage of various wild fruits, which happens to be ripe for harvest. season.”

"The only things I need to pay attention to are those ferocious beasts. Leopards and hyenas are not a big threat to me, and the same goes for wild boars."

"The only ones I really need to worry about are lions. When fighting alone, I'm not particularly afraid of them when I'm armed."

"It's a bit dangerous if you encounter a pride of lions."

"It's only one day. After tomorrow, if you go to high altitude areas, you won't encounter lions. There is a high probability of encountering African leopards."

"In the middle and high altitude areas, there are also many endemic animals, such as alpine blue sheep, deer, and foxes."

"You can't catch them with a dagger alone. I plan to make a bow tomorrow."

"Walking in the mountains, bows and arrows are the best hunting tools, and I also know some plants that can be used to increase the power of bows and arrows and help me better obtain meat resources."

"let's talk tomorrow!"

After parting ways with Shachun, another peaceful day passed, with the bonfire crackling and burning. The next day, Chen Jing woke up from his sleep.

I didn't eat last night, and I only ate some wild fruits and small fish to satisfy my hunger before. Now my stomach is empty, and solving the food problem has become a top priority.

Chen Jing threw some wild chrysanthemums into the kettle, relit the bonfire, and prepared to make hot tea.

"Good morning everyone, the temperature was quite low last night. The highest point of the Atlas Mountains is also covered with snow all year round. There should be a cold air flow going south. I guess it rains more on the northern slopes."

"Now boil a pot of chrysanthemum tea and drink it to warm yourself up before continuing to the northwest."

He is now in a savanna, where most of the plant types are grasses and perennial shrubs, and there is firewood that is very suitable for making bows and arrows.

After slowly drinking the chrysanthemum tea, packing his things, Chen Jing left the cave.

He was not particularly satisfied with this kind of shelter. It could barely provide shelter from the wind and rain, but it was too open and the temperature of the campfire could not be preserved at all.

Unfortunately, I couldn't find much material to build a house with.

But overall, it's still much better than being in the desert.

Pushing away weeds along the way, Chen Jing searched for a long time and finally stopped.

In front of him was a bush with tiny green leaves and golden clusters of flowers.

The twigs of the branches are accompanied by sharp thorns of different sizes.

"This is the most common shrub in the savannas of the African continent. It has a wide range of uses and is called the treasure tree by the local indigenous residents."

"I think many people are familiar with this tree. It has also been introduced into China as an ornamental plant."

"Its name is Acacia!"

Chen Jing used a dagger to carefully cut off a branch about the thickness of his thumb, and continued to introduce:

"The bark and leaves of this tree can extract gum, a natural adhesive, and the flowers can extract aromatic essential oils."

"The fibers in the bark are extremely tough. After being dried and crushed, they can be braided into tree ropes and then dipped in gum to become a bowstring with both strength and elasticity."

"But you need to be extremely careful during the production process. Its spikes are poisonous."

"Acacia is generally not toxic, but it has a very magical ability. When this plant is eaten by animals, it will secrete toxins and a special signaling substance."

“This toxin will make animals feel extremely sore, and that special signaling substance can let all the acacias around them know the news of the animal’s bite, and then collectively release acidic toxins, thereby achieving the purpose of driving away the animals. "

"This is how they survive!"

"Indigenous people in Africa, such as the Berbers in North Africa, as well as hunting peoples in Namibia, South Africa and other regions, often use acacia bark to make bow strings, or use their spikes to make blowguns."

"The latter is more troublesome and requires a long blowpipe to exert its power. I won't do it. Just have a bow string." "Peeled acacia wood can also be used to make bow tires. It’s good to bake it a little to remove the moisture, but it’s not very durable.”

"The bow can be fired about a dozen times before it becomes useless, and its power is very low."

"I wonder if you ever used yellow wattle wood as a bow when you were young. African natives use bows and arrows like this to shoot animals."

"It doesn't rely on power, it relies on a plant toxin smeared on the arrow."

As Chen Jing spoke, he peeled off the bark of the acacia tree, shaved off all the sharp thorns, and left with the bark and stripped branches.

It rained last night and the ground was wet. The haystack was difficult to find. It took him a long time to dig out some dry firewood from the haystack.

The last time he and Gu Jingmo and Jennifer parted ways, he also asked for the magnesium rod. Now it is not difficult to make a fire.

There is no point in always drilling wood to make fire. Everyone in the live broadcast room knows how to do it. Besides, he does not recommend everyone to use that primitive method of making fire when camping in the wild.

As for showing off during the live broadcast, it is mainly to show off your skills.

The bark is dried, divided into fibers, braided into a strand, and dipped in gum, and an extremely tough bowstring is completed.

The next step is to make the bow tire.

Chen Jing did not intend to make the temporary emergency items very detailed. After all, the main self-defense weapon was still the dagger in his hand.

So it took less than two hours to complete the production of a mini wooden bow.

"The use of poisonous arrows has been around since ancient times. There is an allusion in my country about scraping bones to cure poison. Overseas, in South America and Africa, the level of weapon manufacturing was low, and the use of venom was a powerful basis for them to hunt animals for food."

"In the tropical rainforests of South America, hunters use poison dart frogs, scorpion venom and other animal toxins to quench their arrowheads."

"Here, people use more plant-based toxins, such as acacia poison and castor bean poison."

"Actually, there are some ways to use mineral metal poisons, but due to the difficulty of making them, I won't go into details here."

"The next thing I'm looking for is castor. Castor actually originated in Africa and was later introduced to other areas. As early as thousands of years ago, people here have used the toxins of castor beans to deal with large animals. Animal."

"If you pay attention, you can easily find traces of castor beans."

The audience marveled at Chen Jing's wide range of knowledge. At the same time, some people couldn't help but worry, can humans still eat animals killed with poison?
Chen Jing shook his head.

"Ricinus toxin is mainly found in castor beans. It is a highly toxic plant protein toxin that can destroy the function of biological systems. It is hemolytic, inhibits and paralyzes the circulatory system, and leads to organ failure."

"This is also the horror of protein toxins, but the method of dealing with this toxin is also very simple."

"After cleaning, just bake it at high temperature!"

"All protein toxins will decompose after being cooked at high temperatures and are no longer toxic. If you are brave enough and make sure there are no damaged areas in your body, you can also swallow the protein toxins directly. I have learned about this a long time ago , I’ve taught everyone about it.”

……

At three o'clock in the afternoon, in the forest area at the southern foot of the Atlas Mountains, on the low slopes, two blue sheep with yellow fur and huge sharp horns were eating the moss and green grass on the mountain wall.

They were one female and one male, walking leisurely and leisurely, jumping and playing from time to time, seemingly unaware of the approaching crisis.

Chen Jing squatted behind the rock and never fired his bow.

“Got to be patient!”

"The wild beasts in the mountains and forests are very vigilant, even though they don't seem to be doing anything."

"These guys are actually watching what's going on around them all the time."

"Herbivores are different from carnivores in that most of their pupils are flat and distributed on both sides of the head."

"This allows them to take into account the surrounding 360-degree horizontal scene even when they are eating grass."

"When hunting predators, there is an important and practical skill. We use high and low heights to choose the angle of attack."

"In this case, the success rate can be increased by at least 30.00%."

"And when you hunt predators, you end up sneaking up on them from the side."

"Of course, this is talking about hunting with bows and arrows. If you have a shotgun, that's a different story. If you're far away and your marksmanship is good enough, you can kill with one hit."

"Follow them and choose the most suitable time. I'm very hungry now and I must not give up all my efforts."

Chen Jing did not allow himself to miss. If he got nothing today, he would have nothing to eat that night.

In this way, he followed the two blue sheep all the way over the mountains and ridges for three full hours, until dusk and sunset, when he finally shot the arrow.

From high to low, he fired the bow on the tree. The distance was only twelve or thirteen meters. The sharpened hardwood arrow hit the blue sheep's neck lightly. Chen Jing did not dare to use too much force, otherwise the wooden bow would break on the spot. .

Fortunately, he could clearly see that the tip of the wooden arrow pierced the blue sheep's flesh, not very deeply. Although it was shaken off quickly, it was definitely contaminated with toxins.

The frightened blue sheep let out a bleating sound, spread their hooves and began to gallop through the forest.

"Chase!"

Chen Jing reacted faster and jumped down from the tree. He used his shoulders and back to offset the force of the impact. He bounced up with force on his waist and abdomen and quickly followed up, not forgetting to pick up the wooden arrows on the ground.

The toxicity occurs quickly, but the blue sheep is very large, and it would be impossible to completely poison it within a few minutes.

Chen Jing chased him all the way, and finally saw the blue sheep lying in the mountain stream.

By this time, the sky had turned dark.

Filled with joy, he stepped forward and rubbed the twitching blue sheep.

"I'm sorry, just go in peace, I will be grateful to you."

As soon as he picked up the body of the blue sheep, Chen Jing found that there was water nearby. Now he didn't even have to look for water. He disemboweled him on the spot and threw away all the unnecessary internal organs, leaving only the heart and liver and the sheepskin. Leave.

After doing all this, he looked around and found a suitable place to set up a camp, put down his backpack and tools, and gathered firewood to make a fire.

“First roast the sheep, then build the shelter.”

"Today's efforts are finally in vain. This wooden bow is very practical. In the next two or three days, I will no longer have to worry about food and can travel without any worries."

"Back in the mountains, it really feels like going back home. It feels really good!"

Chen Jing was so happy that he didn't realize that at this moment, a pair of eyes were looking coldly at the bonfire here through the woods.
