Survival male god

Chapter 180 Surprise and Trial

After seven o'clock in the morning, evacuate from the sleeping place, craft bone arrows, and craft bone spears.

Unexpectedly, as expected, the pythons began to come ashore.

This is the first batch of Burmese pythons killed by Chen Jing.

It has to be said that with weapons, it is indeed very easy to deal with these guys, at least it is much less labor-intensive than pinching them to death with bare hands.

With a strong wave of the sharp bone knife, a small boa constrictor can be beheaded directly.

Chen Jing paid great attention to controlling his body position and never let them get within one meter of him.

The one shot with the bow was also the largest one.

The efficiency of removing the pythons seems to be very high, but as he himself said, seven or eight pythons are just appetizers before meals.

"Across Florida, including the wetlands and swamps along the Gulf Coast, there are millions of alligators, saltwater crocodiles, and black caimans whose natural predators, the invasive Burmese python, once dominated these areas."

"The number is so large that we need to kill them manually so as not to damage the ecological environment. One can imagine how many pythons live here!"

"There is no doubt that it is at least in the millions, because pythons eat almost as many juvenile crocodiles as crocodiles eat juvenile pythons."

"There is a delicate balance between them."

"So, even if it's only one out of ten thousand, there are hundreds of pythons around."

"There must be quite a few real adult pythons here, with a body length of more than [-] meters, thicker than a thigh, and capable of swallowing whole wild boars and wild deer."

"Shui friends who have no concept of size and length can look up to see how wide their room is, so that you can intuitively feel how big the python is!"

Chen Jing wiped off the blood on the bone knife with a leaf, and then cleaned it, and his hands were also stained with a lot of snake blood.

The stench was like tarsal maggots, which was hard to get rid of.

"The smell of blood is easy to attract mosquitoes, and the smell on my body will also continue to guide these pythons."

"In their perception, every inch of land I walk, including the air, has a very obvious smell factor."

"The ability to track scents is not limited to snakes. Many animals in nature have this incredible ability."

"This is a powerful trait evolved during the long process of genetic elimination. Human instincts are nothing compared to the magical abilities of animals."

"But still the same sentence, we have wisdom!"

"With the right decisions, we can survive in the wilderness against these top predators."

"If you are unfortunately targeted, in addition to hiding your body, there is another thing you need to pay attention to, which is to cover up your smell."

"To a certain extent, this can complicate the situation. Even though pythons can distinguish [-] different odor factors, it can cause them a little trouble, and I can get more breathing time."

After cleaning the blood on his hands, Chen Jing began to smear the bone knife and bone arrow with muddy water, including his hands and feet, as well as his chest, shoulders, and face...

"It stinks, but don't tell me, it's quite cool. The last time I played with mud like this was the last time."

"The silt can not only cover up my smell, but it can also cool me down in such hot weather and reduce the loss of water in my body. It can be said to serve multiple purposes!"

"But next time, I can switch to grass juice, or use leaf paste, the taste should be much more refreshing."

"I have to get something to eat!"

It was almost noon, and after several hours of busy work, Chen Jing hadn't eaten yet.

I left in a hurry in the morning, and the little crocodile caught last night only had time to take away the remaining half of its big tail.

If you don't eat it, the weather is hot, and it is easy to stink if you cover it in your backpack.

It's a pity that the stove and casserole can't be moved away, and the raft that I spent two days making was also left in place.

I will definitely have to go back to get it later. Without a raft, I will be unable to move an inch in the swamp where the water is getting deeper and deeper, and there is no guarantee that it will rain again someday.

The raft is not only a means of transportation, but also a shelter.

"It's all because of these pythons. I never planned to provoke them from the very beginning. Who would have thought that they killed a female python, and I also bear a grudge along with it."

"Compared with the larger and thicker anaconda and reticulated python, the invasive Burmese python here seems to be much more aggressive, and there is really no way to understand it."

"I've already run several kilometers, but I'm still being targeted!"

Chen Jing was a little helpless, but the matter had come to this point, it was useless to think too much.

He took the alligator tail out of his backpack, wrapped in banana leaves, looked around, and found a place that was barely good enough to start a fire.

Soon, the crocodile's tail was roasted, and Chen Jing held the crocodile meat and began to chew hard.

"In the southern United States, the export of crocodile meat and crocodile skin is one of the important economic industries. The government allows people to hunt alligators reasonably, and locals often hunt crocodiles in the Mississippi River Basin."

"But in the depths of the Manchak Swamp, the crocodiles here have no natural enemies except pythons."

"It shouldn't have died in the first place, at least not now, but there is no way, this is life."

Chen Jing directly skipped the step of sharing the taste and texture of the food, because it is indeed similar to chicken, and it is also white meat, rich in vitamins, amino acids and fatty acids.

Although it tasted a bit earthy when it was roasted like this, overall, it was much more delicious than anything Chen Jing had eaten in this swamp before.

This time, Chen Jing rested for a full two hours.

At three o'clock in the afternoon, another batch of boa constrictors were found, and the small ones were removed. The remaining one was bigger, more than four meters long, thicker than a calf, and it was very difficult to kill.

In particular, they struggled bravely and entangled his lower limbs with their bodies, which greatly hindered Chen Jing's actions.

The opponent opened his mouth and almost bit his arm. The situation was very critical, but luckily he blocked it with a bone knife.

"There are more than 100 teeth in the python's mouth. These fine fangs will embed deeply into your flesh and cause tearing wounds."

"Just like Joseph was bitten before, I must not be injured. In this harsh environment, getting injured and getting sick is a terrible thing."

"It's a pity. The more I come into contact with these pythons, the more I feel disgusted with their corpses. To be honest, when I was hungry last night, I thought about whether I should get some python meat to eat."

"But today, I am firm in my previous thoughts. I would rather eat moss in the water than eat these pythons. It's really disgusting!"

"Imagine, hordes of boa constrictors mingling in the mud, crawling towards you with their tongues out."

"The blood that comes out of them is smelly and sticky. Even if I kill them all, peel and wash them, and put them in front of me for me to choose, I'm afraid I won't be able to eat them."

"It stands to reason that this is not a wise approach. In fact, I should get some python meat to eat, so as to keep my physical strength at its peak state."

"However, deep in my heart, there is a voice saying to me, these pythons are very disgusting, you don't want to eat..."

"Rationality and sensibility appear alternately in me. This is a sign of mental confusion. The real reason is that I am really short of food, very short, very short..."

"I ate that crocodile tail at noon, so I have to find a way to stock up on food!"

"Whether it's fish or crabs, shrimp, or birds, I have to find something to eat."

"The area of ​​this jungle wetland is only a few square kilometers, not as large as a production team in my hometown."

"But the resources here are enough to support my long-term survival. As long as I have food, I can stay on the shore for a long time."

"However, in the short term, I won't be able to take back the raft. I can only eat and sleep in the open for a few days."

"You said before, how many boa constrictors are there? Four or five?"

Chen Jing guessed that those real giant pythons might be going ashore, tomorrow at the latest, or even tonight.

I have to think about it carefully, once several giant pythons attack me at the same time, how should I deal with it?

Chen Jing thought about it for a long time, but he didn't think of any good countermeasures. He could only put aside distracting thoughts and take one step at a time.

But he has determined his core strategy, and he is determined not to fight more with less, and must break through one by one.

At around 4:19 p.m. on April 6, Chen Jing found the first boa constrictor, which was called the "Snake King" by the audience, on the northwest bank of the entire swamp forest.

Huge surprises filled Chen Jing's heart.

The few giant pythons did not gather together, they were scattered.

Although he was a bit puzzled, this made Chen Jing make up his mind. He will try now to see if he can get rid of this "snake king".
