Compared with yesterday, today's moon is bigger and rounder, located above the wilderness, and there are no visual problems at all.
"Is it the middle of the month?"
Bi Fang, with ostrich feathers draped over his shoulders, looked up at the full moon in the sky and counted the time.
The full moon of each month is on the 15th or 16th of each lunar month. It is very simple to calculate the solar calendar based on this. Then verify it with your memory to get the accurate time.
Dozens of days and nights passed, during which I saw grasslands and canyons, but finally returned to the desert. At first glance, the surrounding environment seemed almost unchanged. Sometimes even Bifang himself could not accurately determine the date of the day.
"We set off on June 3rd, and there were still seventy-seven days left. Now it's August 3rd, and we still have sixteen days, half a month."
"More than enough."
According to the current speed, it will take less than ten days to reach the west bank of the Nile River and see the pyramids that I miss so much. At that time, the entire journey will be officially over.
【It’s coming to an end!】
[Speaking of which, this time should be the longest live broadcast by Fang Shen. It has been more than three months now, and it can be regarded as a live broadcast miracle]
【Finished with flowers】
More than 100 days of uninterrupted live broadcast.
From the South Pacific to the Northern Sahara, almost across the entire earth, in several time zones, it can be said to be the best live broadcast in terms of content and span.
Bi Fang's own cover poster has been hanging on the Langya homepage for several months. On top of the poster, which is half blue sea and half yellow sand, he has gone from riding a small boat to riding a camel, and now he is almost reaching the right end of the half yellow sand.
【When is the next live broadcast?】
[It feels like it’s getting easier for Lao Fang to travel through the wilderness now]
[The God of Wilderness belongs to Yes]
【We want to see rivers of blood!】
"There is no river of blood, we are live broadcasting in a civilized manner."
Bi Fang cut off a piece from the cactus plant with a knife, peeled off the skin, and just put it into his mouth and chewed it without cooking it.
The strong plant fragrance explodes in the mouth, with a hint of bitterness, and the overly rich juice makes it taste not unpleasant, but instead gives the illusion of eating a strange-tasting cucumber.
This is the advantage of succulents. Even if the taste is not very good, the thick texture can bring great satisfaction, especially in the wilderness survival.
With his hunting skills, Bifang would never be so hungry that he would feel dizzy, but he was not so rich that he could eat every meal, and he would still be hungry for several meals occasionally.
For food that is large and filling, Bi Fang naturally has a "taste compensation" mechanism, that is, others may not feel good about eating it, but he, the person who eats it, feels that it is a rare delicious food.
"When eating cactus, it's best to choose tender slices, which are bright green in color. Such cactus has no thorns, making it easier to clean and tastes very fresh."
"Tender slices aged 15 to 35 days are most suitable, and a cactus about the size of a palm is enough."
"Cactus not only tastes good, but is also very nutritious. Eating a piece of cactus every day can eliminate excess cholesterol, fat, etc. in our body, activate blood circulation, clear away heat and detoxify, and promote our body's metabolism. In other words, it
You can lose weight.”
…
[Losing weight? If you want to say this, I won’t feel sleepy]
[I have decided to eat a cactus every day from now on]
[Losing weight is so damn hard]
[Old Fang has lost weight after traveling for so long. Someone, please give my twenty kilograms of fat to Fang Shen! To replenish his body]
[Twenty kilograms? Is there a mistake? If the foreigner next door saw it, he would think that I can’t afford food and gain weight. Everyone is the same, so who can make up for it with just this little amount? Another twenty kilograms for one person.
Twenty pounds, take it away, take it away, take the scale away, that’s silly.]
[Ten points deducted from America!]
The phloem is peeled off from the palm-sized fleshy meat, and what is left is the crispy and plump meaty layer, green and green like spring water, with a hint of coolness.
Bifang took a bite, his mouth full of frost.
"Hiss, it's a bit cold."
Bifang shuddered after swallowing the leaves into his belly, and the ostrich feathers on his shoulders swayed slightly.
If you eat cactus during the day, it will naturally be refreshing and thirst-quenching, but it is already midnight and the temperature has dropped to below zero.
"I almost forgot. It is a joy to encounter cactus in the desert. It can be used as food and to replenish water. However, it is a cold food. Most people can eat it, but people with weak spleen and stomach should eat less. In addition, it can
You should also eat in moderation, as eating too much can easily lead to diarrhea.”
"Diarrhea is nothing to worry about in normal times. You just need to go to the toilet a few times, drink some hot water, and take some medicine. But in wilderness survival, it is very fatal. You may become dehydrated and lose a lot of calories. In severe cases, you may freeze to death that night.
"
Bi Fang was confident in his physique, so he took three or four tablets before stopping.
Alpha on the side was chewing heavily.
It has been craving for this succulent plant since noon, but unfortunately because Bi Fang wanted to test it, she has not been allowed to eat it.
The audience was surprised to see Alpha eating cactus and not caring about the needles on the cactus.
[Ruthless Iron Mouth]
[I’ve never seen animals poisoned before]
"The camel is not afraid of the thorns of the cactus. Both sides of its big mouth are covered with jagged thorns, which play the role of cutting and grinding the thorns of the cactus. Using these thorns to chew the cactus is like massaging, and the cactus cannot hurt the camel at all.
or cause harm."
"In addition, the sensory nerves in its mouth are not very sensitive, let alone feel it, and the only soft tongue will become flat when swallowing the cactus."
"It eats cactus, which is no different from humans eating apples. Not only is it not difficult, but it is also a kind of enjoyment."
Alpha bit into the cactus, and Bi Fang stepped forward and slashed it with a knife, cutting off the connection to make it easier for him to eat.
"As for poisonous plants, animals and humans will have the same reaction after eating them. There is no difference."
"Why we rarely see animals die from eating poisonous plants is because they are naturally wary."
"Animals in the wild have strong survival skills. They are not greenhouse flowers. They have never seen the world. They are wary of plants that are not in their diet and will not take the initiative to eat unfamiliar ones."
"This is similar to what I said about finding water sources. Not all animals have the ability to find water sources. They will not die of thirst simply because they live in a fixed range. They know where the water sources are and eat food for generations.
Same thing."
…
"It's just that there are many plants in nature that look very similar, and some animals may eat them by mistake, and they will have the same reaction after eating them."
"There was once an experiment, which was to throw a piece of fruit on the road and see the reaction of the monkeys."
"The fruit is not a type that grows locally. The monkeys were curious when they saw it, but they didn't dare to touch it. Until one monkey couldn't help it and took a bite. After taking a bite, he threw away the apple and ran away."
"After a while, when everything seemed alright, it ran away again, took two bites this time, and then put it down. This is how monkeys avoid being poisoned. Many other animals do the same thing."
"There are also some animals that can eat these poisonous mushrooms in small amounts and be fine, such as some special squirrels, because they have evolved ways to deal with poisonous mushrooms."
[Hahaha, isn’t this similar to Fang Shen’s?]
[Understood, Fang Shen = Monkey]
[It’s different, Fang Shen is much better than the monkey. He has six steps to test, while the monkey only has two steps]
【Is this the evolution of human beings? I love it.】
After eating the food and replenishing his energy, Bi Fang exercised on the spot for a while, warmed up, and then began to build the shelter for tonight.
There is a long way to go to survive in the wilderness, and there are many things that need to be prepared, among which building a shelter can be considered the top priority.
Every time you finish, you will not be sloppy. A good sleep is really important.
A shelter is not only a place to rest at night and relieve fatigue, but also a haven to adjust your mentality and relax your tension. In the wilderness, whether there is a shelter or not are two completely different situations.
Having a comfortable and safe shelter can relieve tension to the greatest extent and make better use of wisdom and ability to overcome difficulties.
On the contrary, the situation without a shelter is not optimistic. You will be exhausted during the day and frightened at night.
Therefore, building a good shelter can be said to be the key to successful wilderness survival.
First, check the surrounding environment. Bi Fang did not choose to build it in an oasis because there were too many bugs there.
"There are too many mosquitoes and various small bugs near the water. Especially at night, you will feel like you are breathing in a lot of bugs with every breath."
"Mosquitoes in the wild are much more poisonous than you think. If you are in the rain forest, they are even more dangerous. There is a risk of malaria. I won't talk about scorpions. I ate a lot along the way."
"Today we still dig a pit, but there are a lot of plants nearby. We can use it to simply build a shed roof."
"Simplicity is success."
"Never imagine that you can build a perfect shelter that is practical, beautiful, and labor-saving just like what is described in the books, because that is just an illusion."
"Think about it, when you are alone in the wilderness, it may have taken several hours from finding a suitable place to set up camp to building a fire. It gets dark early in the woods, and by this time nearly half of your physical strength has been consumed.
How can you think about beauty anymore? At this time, your only choice is to make it as simple as possible."
"To put it bluntly, it is best to have a ready-made kennel, because it will save you a lot of time. And the saved energy can protect your safety, allow you to find food, etc."
…
【I do not believe】
[I have reason to suspect that Fang Shen has forgotten the wooden house he built before]
【Do you want to listen to what you are saying】
"That was a survival mission, which is different from my current time-travel mission." Bi Fang picked up the dead branches and smiled, "Besides, I have already said that if you really end up in the wilderness, don't think about your 100% chance of survival.
Learn from me.”
"You can learn survival ideas and simple skills."
"For example, how to identify directions, find food, and build traps can all be learned, but for example, hunting with a spear or a bow and arrow, without a certain degree of tempering, you cannot get started right away."
"Similarly, I have not only built wooden houses, but also dug simple earth pits. The former is a high-end advanced method, and the latter is something ordinary people can learn."
"If you can follow the gourd's plan, do it. Don't be willful in the wilderness. It's a bit boastful, but I can be called a survival master now. My suggestions are all based on my own practice."
"Following my method can save your physical and mental energy to the greatest extent, and reserve energy for your future actions."
"Avoid blind confidence and create at will. Many people always feel that they will show off their power when they fall into the trap, but the actual performance will be much more embarrassing than you think."
"Blindly pursuing high-end things not only wastes physical energy, but the most serious consequence is that you are likely to hurt yourself. You will be alone in the wild with difficulty in ensuring food and water. Once you are injured, your body and mind will collapse one after another. By that time
Sometimes, tragedy may happen.”
[Fang Shen: Those who learn from me will live, those who resemble me will die]
[In a word, you are all scum, don’t think about being awesome, just dig holes when you need to, and just be stubborn when you need to]
【The truth is out】
【I am the tragedy that will happen, wuwuwuwu】
Use a stone shovel to quickly dig out a pit, and then lay it with branches. Then he dug a small fire pit next to it and built a bonfire with the remaining sparks from yesterday.
Close live broadcast.
Bi Fang felt the warmth of the fire and soon fell asleep in the darkness.
Early the next morning, Bifang just woke up and saw Alpha who was still eating. He didn't know whether he slept last night or whether he had been eating all day.
Ten days before encountering today's oasis, Alpha did not receive any effective supplies, causing the hump to become shriveled day by day.
Bi Fang, who was riding on it, even felt a pinch on his butt.
This giant beast, which weighed more than half a ton, had suffered a lot while following Bifang.
Bi Fang sometimes feels embarrassed.
There is nothing you can do about it. Eat enough and save money. You only need one pound a day.
If it were replaced by Alpha, it might reach thirty kilograms!
Even if you are not hungry, you will normally have to weigh more than ten pounds.
This is a complete food black hole that cannot be filled no matter how much supplies are available.
Fortunately, this trip to the oasis is almost over.
In the next few days, Bi Fang accelerated his travel speed and quickly completed the entire ancient trade road at a speed of almost one oasis in two days.
Every time it passes an oasis, Alpha can get a half-day supply window, finally re-energizing its shriveled hump.
The relationship between Alpha and Bifang has also become much closer.
Animals are far more pure than humans. As long as you have enough food and drink, you can gain their friendship.
Thanks to the sufficient supplies, even if he was given half a day to replenish each time, Bifang's traveling speed not only did not slow down, but actually went much faster.
Every time Alpha was taken away, instead of resisting, he was very excited.
It can't wait to go to the next oasis and try some fresh plants.
I am even more picky and only eat some young leaves.
Finally on the ninth day, Bi Fang saw a sharp-edged building on a certain height.
