Chapter 207 No matter how powerful a man is, he cannot resist the temptation of a straight, tough and elastic stick.
"Why isn't my brother here? I can't get through on the phone." Yao Yao was so anxious. She really wanted to share with Li Xiang. She didn't want Li Xiang to look down on her and think that she was not as qualified as Lei Xiaohui and Zhao Xueqing.
Zhao Xueqing found it a little funny, so she comforted him, "Don't worry, my brother must have gone out for something."
Lei Xiaohui also nodded repeatedly and said, "Brother is not an ordinary person. He must have sneaked out in the middle of the night to do something important. You wait a little longer."
Yao Yao muttered, "Is he going to do justice again? Brother is really a talent. If it were another man, he would have been stealing the ladies at night. But he is doing other things."
"It's so hard, brother, please come back soon, I want to talk to you."
Yao Yao had no choice but to suppress her excitement temporarily and followed Zhao Xueqing and Lei Xiaohui back to their room. They practiced for another morning and went out to play together in the afternoon.
Because it is boring to practice all day long, you need to combine work and rest. The right balance between work and rest is the way to last.
They visited landmarks such as the Merlion Park and Gardens by the Bay, and ate a lot of delicious food. They also did not forget to bring food for Li Xiang, as well as some local specialty gifts.
For example, crocodile skin wallets, handbags, white coffee, dried durian, Tiger Balm, Golden Lion Oil, kaya paste, Merlion souvenirs, dried meat, and Singapore chocolate. The three of them returned to the hotel carrying large and small bags.
They knew that Li Xiang probably didn't have time to buy it.
At the same time, Li Xiang was exploring the tropical rainforest.
Indonesia has a typical tropical rainforest climate, with high temperatures and heavy rainfall throughout the year. There is no distinction between spring, summer, autumn and winter here, but only two seasons a year, the rainy season and the dry season.
Usually, the dry season is from April to October, and the rainy season is from November to March of the following year. This time is August, so it is the dry season. But in fact, it often rains in the dry season, but relatively speaking, the rainfall is slightly less.
Kalimantan, also known as Borneo, is the third largest island in the world and the second largest tropical rainforest area after the Amazon rainforest. It has a hot and humid climate, lush vegetation and numerous wild animals.
There are wild boars, sun bears, orangutans, various monkeys, all kinds of strange birds and so on.
There used to be tigers on the island, as tiger fossils have been unearthed, but now tigers are rarely seen. The ecology on the island is not sufficient to support the reproduction of tiger populations.
Tigers can swim. There are records showing that tigers can swim 29 kilometers in a river in a day, and the longest swimming distance in the sea is 12 kilometers. However, Kalimantan Island is surrounded by the sea, and the distance between it and the surrounding areas by the straits far exceeds the swimming ability of tigers.
This blocks the tigers' mating needs. As the number of tigers on the island is small, they can only engage in inbreeding and eventually become extinct.
The reason why tigers appeared in the first place was that in ancient times, the climate was much colder than it is now, the sea level was lower than it is now, and many parts of today's continental shelf were beaches above water back then.
Back then, the Malay Peninsula, Sumatra Island, Java Island, Borneo and the Philippine Islands formed a crescent-shaped super-large peninsula. Tigers spread along these land bridges. Later, the sea level rose and the continental shelf was submerged again, leaving the tigers on the isolated islands. The tiger populations on the Malay Peninsula and several islands have been isolated from each other since then.
Li Xiang strolled leisurely on the island. He even took off his Black Mountain Armor and wore a simple T-shirt and shorts. He killed countless wild animals along the way. He harvested more than a hundred "spicy strips" of various kinds, enough for the kittens to eat for several years.
Moreover, there are various varieties and naturally different tastes, so kittens will never get tired of eating them.
There is a very special snake that has no wings but can fly. It is called the Paradise Golden Flower Snake. It is about 1 meter long and likes to shuttle back and forth in trees.
Before "flying", this snake will hook the back half of its body on a branch and straighten the front of its body to present an S-shaped posture, then give a strong bounce and start gliding. Their flight distance can be up to 100 meters, and they can change direction during flight. It must be said that they are very good at aerodynamic principles.
Several times, these snakes have sneaked up on Li Xiang, but how could they succeed? In Li Xiang's eyes, these snakes are "slow motion". He can just reach out and grab their heads and throw them into the system warehouse.
System: "A sixth-order mutant agate magic vine has been detected."
"Can this vine become a spirit?" Li Xiang looked at the tall and dense vines in front of him, quite surprised.
There are many vines on this island, but this is the first time he has seen a vine with extraordinary potential.
He carefully looked at the shape of the vines in front of him. There were seven or eight vines in a cluster, like bamboo, and they were extremely thick and full. The thickest ones were about six centimeters in diameter, and the length was even more terrifying. Several of them were over a hundred meters long, and even close to two hundred meters.
"This is not a vine, it's clearly a tree."
Li Xiang is right. The vines in Indonesia are different from those in other places. The vines in other places are herbaceous plants, while the vines here are woody plants.
This agate vine has thick, symmetrical and full vines, uniform color, solid texture and strong toughness. It is known as the "king of vines" and is also the most expensive premium rattan material.
Not only does it have a beautiful surface, it also has a high degree of waterproof performance. Its organizational structure is dense and highly elastic, not easy to burst, and durable.
Li Xiang took out his axe and chopped off a piece about two meters long. He found that it was very tough, straight, and had a smooth surface. It was a good natural stick.
He held one end of the stick and turned the other end to bend it to test its elasticity. It bent into a U shape, but as soon as he let go, the stick immediately returned to its original shape.
Very elastic.
"It is worthy of being the king of rattan. This rattan stick is perfect for use as a martial arts stick." Although ash sticks are also good, they will break or deform after being used for a long time or being bent excessively, but this rattan stick will not.
As for domestic rattan, there are also tropical rainforests in Yunnan Province, but because of the growing environment, the hardness, toughness and elasticity are not as good as the rattan produced in the tropical rainforests here.
So, Li Xiang pulled up this vine with extraordinary potential by its roots, removed the branches and leaves, and cut it into pieces about two meters long. He threw away the slightly bent ones and only kept the naturally straight ones. In the end, he harvested as many as fifty or sixty high-quality rattan sticks, with diameters ranging from 3 cm to 6 cm.
He planned to take it back and let some girls play with it. Lei Jiaming and others would probably like it very much.
Zhao Xueqing, Yao Yao, Lei Xiaohui and others are not very strong, so this kind of rattan stick is just right for them.
Li Xiang doesn't have that many extraordinary weapons to give them now. Fortunately, in peacetime, they can just practice with rattan sticks.
In addition, Li Xiang's strength has now increased to 100,000 pounds, but he is still not "adapted" enough. It is normal to have some "incoordination" after such a huge increase at once.
The black iron mountain-pulling stick that weighed eight or nine hundred kilograms before now feels light in my hand.
He thought this vine wood was good, so he took a piece with a diameter of about three centimeters and used it as a personal weapon. He used this relatively light and slender weapon to hone his martial arts and achieve precise control of strength.
It is easy to deal with strong force, tens of thousands of pounds can be easily hit, but it is quite difficult to deal with light force.
Li Xiang was cruising the island at a top speed of Mach 5, equivalent to 1,700 meters per second and 102 kilometers per minute. He could sprint for eight minutes, which means that in the case of an extreme burst, one sprint would be 816 kilometers.
If you run at a cruising speed of Mach 2.5, that's 3,060 kilometers per hour. If you keep your heart rate under control, you can run non-stop for six or seven hours (no more than eight hours), which is equivalent to an easy daily distance of 20,000 kilometers.
The distance of one lap of the earth is about 40,000 kilometers. If he works overtime, it is not a big deal to circle the earth in one day.
The island of Kalimantan spans only about a thousand kilometers from north to south and from east to west. By night, he had swept the entire island several times, and the number of wild animals dropped sharply.
When he was playing on the beach, he saw some small green turtles crawling onto the shore, and he picked up a few of them and observed them carefully. He found that these turtles came ashore to lay eggs.
These turtles looked very cute and stupid, and didn't seem very tasty, so Li Xiang didn't bother them.
Some turtles had barnacles parasitizing on their backs, and Li Xiang was very considerate and helped to pick them off, making the little turtles feel much more comfortable.
After playing with the agate rattan stick for a day and then switching to seven or eight sticks of varying thicknesses, Li Xiang's understanding of soft power has deepened.
He possesses a strength of 100,000 pounds, but can easily exert a very slight force and can control the force to 0.001 grams.
A force of one hundred thousand pounds, from small to large, controlled by the heart, Li Xiang knows how to control the weight in his hands.
As night fell, he considered the direction, covered himself with Black Mountain Armor, and ran westward. Singapore was only a thousand kilometers away. He cruised leisurely at Mach 2.5 and arrived at the hotel room in about twenty minutes.
When I opened my phone, there were many messages, most from the three sisters. In addition, there were emails from Luo Feifei, Bangyi's aunt, some notices from the county and town, and some work report emails from my aunt from the jade processing factory.
Weekly email reports from store managers of several Jadeite direct-operated stores.
Greetings from Xu Xuan, He Zhixiang and others.
Lei Jiaming's work report at home.
Emails from the construction company regarding the progress of the project and the third phase of the shelter. Etc.
Li Xiang sent a message to the three girls' group: "I'm back, are you guys asleep?"
"No, I'm waiting for you."
"We'll be there soon."
"Brother, we are here, open the door quickly."
Li Xiang stood up and opened the door, and three girls came in one after another.
There are surveillance cameras in the corridor. At this moment, the girl at the front desk became alert and couldn't help but pull her colleague next to her, asking him to look at the surveillance screen.
“Oh my god,” the colleague exclaimed in a coquettish Singaporean accent, “Three beautiful women entered a room?”
"They must be doing something like that. Should we call the police?"
"That room belongs to the man they were traveling with. Maybe they are a couple. It's better not to meddle in their business."
"Haha, I envy that guy, 1VS3."
"These Chinese tourists are having a really good time."
"So open-minded, four of us are traveling together."
In fact, Li Xiang and the three girls were doing serious work.
