So at this moment, Ye Feng was thinking about how to take a two-pronged approach and get both things done at once.
He stroked his chin, leaned against the tree trunk, and concentrated all his energy, carefully searching his mind for the answer to the problem.
"Now, relying on plants to find water is too time-consuming, and even if we find water, what do we do for the night?"
Or... observe the animal tracks? No, no, no.
The moment the thought crossed his mind, he ruthlessly crushed it.
I just found footprints, but I didn't expect that the animal might have been dead long ago.
Besides, the jungle is so vast, where would one find footprints?
Blindly wandering around might take even more time.
"Buzzing..."
Just as he was lost in thought, several mosquitoes the size of fingernails began to hover around his head.
It was as if they were mocking him.
The sharp and annoying sound made it impossible for him to concentrate.
Ye Feng waved his hand haphazardly a few times, but to his surprise, the mosquito flew back immediately after being chased away.
A mosquito took advantage of Ye Feng's inattention and suddenly bit him on the cheek.
"hiss……"
Ye Feng couldn't help but let out a soft sigh; the mosquitoes in the Amazon were nothing like the mosquitoes in the city.
Being bitten felt like someone had poked you with a syringe.
Not only is the pain intense, but the subsequent bumps are also much larger.
Even the "cross" sealing method was completely ineffective.
Ye Feng didn't act immediately, afraid of scaring the mosquito away.
He slowly raised his left hand, and after judging the moment, he slapped it down.
He immediately felt a warm current on his face; it was clearly the blood that had just been drained from him.
He opened his palm, preparing to flick it away as usual...
A glint suddenly flashed in his eyes.
After a few seconds of stunned silence, I realized that this mosquito... wasn't it a two-pronged approach?
"Hahaha! I've got it!"
Ye Feng immediately stood up, his face beaming with excitement.
This sudden burst of laughter drew everyone's attention to him.
Fu Changxiong immediately stood up, ripped open the underwear that was stuck tightly to his buttocks, and asked while licking his lips:
"Brother, you've really come up with a plan?"
"right!"
Ye Feng opened his palm, revealing the blood-stained mosquito in his hand to everyone.
"That's the way to find water and camp!"
No one understood what he meant, not even Liu Sisi.
Ye Feng stopped being mysterious and immediately put on his backpack.
Mosquitoes like to lay their eggs in water sources, and Amazonian mosquitoes especially like to lay their eggs along rivers or streams.
They prefer to stay in relatively dark places, usually in areas with a lot of green vegetation.
For example, under plant leaves, or in clumps of grass.
In other words, if we go to places with lots of mosquitoes, we can not only find water...
We can also find plenty of building materials, and maybe even a campsite!
"real!?"
Fu Changxiong laughed and quickly put on his backpack.
He is the largest in size and therefore needs the most water, so he is the most active.
"Then hurry up, my lips are so dry they're peeling and almost falling off."
Everyone immediately put on their bags and began to scatter around looking for mosquitoes.
They never imagined that this creature, hated by all humans, would save their lives.
Ye Feng had never found the annoying buzzing of mosquitoes so pleasant.
There are more mosquitoes in the Amazon than cars in the city.
In generally developed areas, there are more cars, and naturally, the louder the horns are.
Similarly, the louder the sound of mosquitoes, the more mosquitoes there are.
Therefore, you can find the mosquito breeding grounds by simply following the loud noise.
It's also the direction of the water source.
After searching for a few minutes, a sound came from the direction where Qi Xiaoyan was.
"Brother Feng, it's so loud over here! There are so many mosquitoes."
Upon hearing this, when Ye Feng and his companions rushed over, they indeed found a large circle of mosquitoes hovering above their heads.
Because the mosquitoes here never come out alone, and they are much larger than those in the city.
When they swarm together, they look like a group of buzzing bees, and even someone with nearsightedness can easily see them.
Soon, Ye Feng located the dense forest at the 3 o'clock position based on the mosquito's flight path.
"Over there!"
The group quickly followed.
For the next ten minutes or so, they continued to move forward with their footsteps.
They waved their hands faster and faster, and all that could be heard was an annoying buzzing sound.
Fortunately, everyone's arms were bound with pigskin sleeves; otherwise, they would have lost about 200cc of blood by the time they found water.
And so, while chasing away the mosquitoes, the group also searched for them.
While in pain, Ye Feng also found clues: the increasing number of mosquitoes meant that he was not far from a water source.
A few more minutes passed, and when the group reached a low-lying grove of trees…
"Click!"
Ye Feng suddenly felt something under his feet, which made a soft, crisp sound.
He looked down and lifted his foot, only to find more than a dozen ants crawling on the back of his foot.
This ant is quite large, about three centimeters long.
They have two large pincers on their foreheads, but they are not as big as the pincers of army ants.
In the Amazon, besides army ants, there are only…
"Holy shit!"
Ye Feng cursed loudly, not even having time to see what the ant looked like, and hurriedly retreated.
"Quickly, help me get these things out of here!"
The sudden shout immediately drew everyone's attention to the ants on his feet.
Fu Changxiong reached out to take a picture, but Ye Feng grabbed his hand.
"Don't touch it! It's a bullet ant! Take off your clothes!"
"ah!?"
Although Fu Changxiong knew nothing about survival, the reputation of the bullet ant was known to almost everyone.
He quickly withdrew his hand.
Upon hearing this, everyone immediately put down their backpacks, quickly took off their coats, and started dusting off Ye Feng's boots.
Soon, the ants on Ye Feng's feet were all brushed away.
But the ants didn't seem to have any intention of letting them go. Soon, a long line of ants crawled out from right in front of them.
Upon closer inspection, they turned out to be bullet ants...
They emitted sharp "squeaks," as if launching an attack, which sent chills down everyone's spines.
Seeing this, Ye Feng had no time to think and immediately ordered everyone to retreat.
It wasn't until they were seven or eight meters away that they managed to escape the ant colony.
Everyone was still in shock and hurriedly checked themselves, afraid of coming into contact with this monster.
Bullet Ants —
It is recognized as one of the two most harmful ants to humans within the ant family.
