The fire roasts the camphor wood, and the fine oil slowly seeps out from the fibers, and a rich fragrance wafts in the air.
The camphor leaves were picked and placed on the stone slab. They were ground into green clay with smooth stones and then applied to the exposed skin. The mosquitoes around them seemed to disappear.
The stick was wrapped in fierce fire, and the stick slowly turned black.
Bi Fang picked up the tree stick, used a dagger to make a cross on the top of it, held it against it, picked up a round stone and struck it on the back of the knife, splitting it into a cross.
The wooden handle of the steel dagger was removed, and the slender iron handle was inserted into the middle of the cross opening. In addition to being able to accommodate the slender iron handle, Bi Fang also carefully opened several slots inside the cross to insert the dagger body.
It also accommodates about two centimeters, so it is a simple mosaic structure.
When the crosses were put back together, it was impossible to tell that anything had been stuffed inside.
Bi Fang explained: "One side is concave and the other side is convex. They fit together. It is the simplest mortise and tenon structure. It is not easy to break or fall off. It also accommodates part of the body of the dagger so that it is not easy to be bent.
.”
Holding the pinched break, Bi Fang took out a piece of white rope from his bag, wound it in a thin circle, and finally tied it with a tight knot.
"The material of this rope is Dyneema, which is anti-cut and wear-resistant. Its strength is more than 10 times that of high-quality steel, second only to special grade carbon fiber. It has a density less than water, can float on the water, and is very light. If you have seen me
People who have watched videos of climbing Mount Everest should know this, and you guessed it right, this is the section I used before."
"We didn't use it up after climbing Mount Everest last time. We will continue to use it this time. However, its intensity is really high and it was very difficult for me to cut..."
Bi Fang pulled the excess rope and cut it bit by bit with a harpoon. This was a dagger given by the system. It was actually difficult to cut the Dyneema rope, which showed how strong the material was.
[Look, the rope that Lao Fang personally used to climb Mount Everest, the steel blade forged in the wilderness, I will use it to bathe in bear blood later, I can’t imagine how much the value of this thing can increase
Taller】
[Conservative estimate, two million!]
[That’s awesome, if I could make it a family heirloom and keep it at home]
【White Tassel Spear!】
[Back then, I used this silver gentian spear to kill him on Changban Slope. He was riddled with holes and pissed off!]
Bi Fang waved the spear of about 1.8 meters in his hand, and the bark on the tree trunk was peeled off, leaving only the white branches with delicate lines, which were straight as a whole, with a six-inch blade. An extra length of rope hung down, and then
The wind sways.
I put it on the ground and stepped on it. It was very tough and even bent at nearly 60 degrees without any signs of breakage.
After finding a pine tree, he easily pierced it, and the resin slowly overflowed. Bi Fang wrapped the flowing pine resin around the joint between the spear head and the spear body, and reinforced it three times.
After three steps of mortise and tenon joints, rope wrapping, and resin bonding, the wooden spear has become a whole. Whether it is chopping or stabbing, it is difficult to break away.
The sharp spear pierced the sky, making a sharp whistle, and the leaves beside it rustled.
Bi Fang put it away with great satisfaction and then made two other wooden spears.
At the same time, the other hunters were all busy carrying out their own activities.
Everyone chose their own scope of activities, but the program team did not airdrop everyone into the center of any forest, but asked them to go on their own.
The radiation range of human gathering places is very wide, and most people have not gained anything. They only encountered some pheasants and rabbits, and have not encountered any larger animals.
Only when you enter the depths of the forest can the real competition begin.
It is now half past nine in the morning, and Bi Fang predicts that around noon, people will start to make discoveries one after another.
In the jungle, the heavily armed Sato wears an anti-cutting suit, carries a small explosion-proof shield on his back, and shuttles through the jungle holding a naginata and a crossbow as high as a person, giving people a sense of contradiction between modernity and ancient times.
Times have changed.
Traditional hunters also know how to use it to protect themselves.
The program prohibits the use of heavy crossbows and thermal weapons, except for ordinary bows and arrows and modern equipment.
The other hunters who participated in the program did not have Bifang's system blessing, so they could not "promise at a young age", but they also had no mission restrictions and had equipped them with all the equipment they could.
In addition to offensive humanoids like Sato and Mu Galen who carry weapons, there are also defensive counterattack types who dig traps.
Primitive hunting, without the restraint of hounds, or hunting large beasts like black bears, is ultimately a very dangerous thing. Naturally, the best option is to lure the black bear into a trap.
Giant wood traps and wooden thorn pits are good ways to deal with large animals.
"Since we can see camphor trees more than 25 meters tall, it means that we have actually entered the deeper part of the forest." In the jungle, Bi Fang got up from the ground and put out the fire pit.
At this time, there were two wooden spears behind him, and a sharper and harder steel spear in his hand. At the same time, there were five half-human-length short spears on the ground, and a spear thrower.
To deal with thick-skinned guys like black bears, ordinary bows and arrows are far from enough. Spears with stronger penetrating power must be used. Only in this way can they penetrate the thick fat layer and damage the internal organs and muscles.

"Edmond Rocca, the founder of modern forensics, once proposed a law named after him, which reads:
‘every contact leaves a trace’.”
"To put it simply, it is eight words: 'Every contact must leave traces.' My translation may not be very good, but the meaning is probably this."
Bi Fang waved his spear, splitting the bushes blocking the road, and strode forward. With the long-handled weapon, the road was much easier to walk.
"After Rocca's repeated examples, this sentence was regarded as an axiom by people in the industry and became a cornerstone of forensic science, especially physical evidence."
"Roca's law tells us that matter is composed of countless particles. When a suspect comes in and out of the scene and commits a crime, the particles will be exchanged between the surface of the object he has touched and his body, leaving some
trace."
"His body also had some traces from the surfaces of these objects; even if the suspect had deliberately cleaned them, it would be difficult to completely eliminate these traces."
All the corners he stood in, all the objects he touched, and all the things he left behind, even if he is unconscious, will become silent witnesses against him.
Not only his fingerprints and footprints, but also his hair, the fibers on his clothes, the glass he broke, the marks left by the tools he used, the paint he scraped off, the blood or body fluids he left behind or collected.
All these things, and more, underpin the silent witness against him. This evidence will not be forgotten, it will not be confused by exciting moments, it will not disappear like the witness.
It is evidence of fact.
Physical evidence is infallible, it cannot be perjured, and it cannot disappear completely.
Only those who cannot find, learn and understand will detract from its value.
"In my opinion, looking for prey is the same as looking for criminals. As long as it has existed somewhere, it will definitely leave traces."
"As for the traces, we have to look at the physical signs and behavioral habits of the 'suspect'. There are two types, tangible and intangible."
"The tangible ones are hair, scratches, footprints, and damage along the way; the intangible ones are smells, favorite foods, and possible gathering points."
"If you want to find a bear, you need to be familiar with its behavior."
Bi Fang opened a branch and scanned the big trees one after another.
"Except for polar bears, all bears like to rub against trees because their backs cannot be reached, and long-haired animals are prone to getting lice, so you should pay attention to see if there are any scratches on the surrounding trees.
The marks will be very obvious, and the whole tree will be scratched and a hole will be made."
"The second thing is the footprints. The weight of a black bear can easily leave deep footprints on the ground."
"The third thing is smell, but if you don't have a hound, you don't need to consider this."
Bi Fang himself can use this trick, and there are people with super strong sense of smell, but obviously, most people can't do it. Therefore, if you don't have a hunting dog, you don't need to consider this trick.
"The last thing is behavioral traces. From eating to walking, predators at the top of the food chain don't care too much about concealing their whereabouts. Many times, when you see an obvious passage in the wild, you need to pay attention. Then
It was probably the path traveled by some large herbivore or predator."
This is a kind of confidence at the top of the food chain.
Rabbits and mice need to look around when eating grass, but elephants are never overly vigilant because there are very few animals that can pose a threat to them.
"You should also pay attention to whether there is any fallen hair on the road. If there is hair, there is a 90% chance that it is a ferocious predator. You must be careful and careful."
"Also food habits, look at where things that should have been there have disappeared on a large scale, or there are signs of damage."
"Asian black bears are standard omnivores, eating mainly plant foods. They eat a variety of food types, including but not limited to buds, leaves, stems, roots and fruits of various plants, as well as mushrooms, shrimps, crabs, fish and invertebrates.
, birds, rodents and carrion, and it also digs ant nests and beehives."
"We can see if there are any ant nests that have been opened, nearby fruits that have been chewed to pieces, or half of the honeycombs that have been bitten off."
【Ah, this, I know this, bears like to eat honey.】
[Too cowhide]
[Details are all details]
[Speak slowly, I’m already taking notes]
[Knock on the blackboard and remember everything for me!]
[By the way, why do bears like to eat honey?]
Bi Fang didn't answer. He shook the spear, grabbed the end, and used the spearhead to pick up a hanging branch.
The leaves were turned up, and under the sunlight, several sharp scratches appeared on the trunk.
