In addition to the four essential elements of survival, there are also four major emotional taboos in wilderness survival.
Longing, dejection, tension, anxiety...
Ye Feng and Liu Sisi both had previously made the mistake of being impatient.
Upon hearing the sound of the waterfall, Liu Sisi thought she could finally escape the jungle…
I got excited and was eager to go and see.
That's why he forgot to check for dangers around him, which almost led to him falling off a cliff and losing his life.
Ye Feng was the same; he was eager to take a shortcut and reach his destination as soon as possible.
Therefore, the most important step in using a rope to descend the mountain was overlooked: checking if the rope was secure...
As the most advanced animal on Earth, humans possess not only a mind that is more intelligent than that of other animals.
There is also a more developed emotional system, namely the seven emotions and six desires…
It's truly difficult to be a human being who can control their emotions completely and effortlessly...
However, having learned from his mistakes, Ye Feng paid the price for his impatience through this injury.
This also proves that having a good and stable emotional state is indeed very important.
People always have to experience pain and failure to grow.
Ye Feng quickly reeled in the rope and headed towards the river.
He is now all alone, with only a Nepalese knife and a short knife, a small bag of dried meat, binoculars, a bag for snakes, three wooden jars, a bundle of hemp rope, a raincoat, a compound bow and arrows, about a hundred batteries and some foam.
The supplies looked plentiful, but his hands were injured, and many of his tools were unusable…
Therefore, the best way at present is to travel by raft to the destination.
Then find a place to rest and wait for your teammates to come and find you...
However, this idea is very impractical, because as we saw from the mountaintop, the raft was almost completely destroyed...
More than ten minutes later, he emerged from the dense forest and arrived at the waterfall…
Over a long period of time, the river has eroded the area, creating a natural sinkhole that resembles a giant reservoir.
Countless streams of water seeped out from within, flowing into the river below, which was about fifty or sixty meters wide.
As he had predicted, there was indeed a pile of large, scattered rocks inside the pit…
It doesn't seem to be far from the water's surface...
There were also some broken pieces of wood and debris around, suggesting that the raft must have crashed into them…
Ye Feng came to the shore and picked up a stick that had been washed ashore, intending to use it as a walking stick.
Then he took out a wooden jar, scooped some water from the pit to drink... and finally filled the jar to the brim.
It's not very hygienic, but it's better than dying of thirst...
He looked at the distant mountaintop and realized that the figures of the others had completely disappeared...
Ye Feng's expression suddenly turned forlorn and worried. He had been the one covering for everyone the whole way.
After spending so much time with them, he had a very clear understanding of their survival skills...
Liu Sisi's knowledge is not much less than mine, but her understanding is somewhat one-sided, and her practical skills are very weak.
Qi Xiaoyan is quite capable with her hands and has good archery skills, which complements her perfectly.
If it were just these two women, Ye Feng wouldn't be too worried.
However, Nobita and Stutterer are basically novices when it comes to survival, and they also have personality flaws. One is reckless and doesn't consider the consequences of his actions.
He's mentally challenged and can't even speak properly; he has trouble even keeping watch.
I wonder if they actually learned any skills from me...
Can such a flawed team successfully reach its destination?
Thinking of this, Ye Feng let out a long sigh…
"Sigh... Brothers and sisters, I hope you all arrive safely. Please don't let me down..."
After saying that, he walked downstream like an ascetic, leaning on his cane…
Walking along the river is much safer than walking through forests and thickets.
At least you don't have to worry about a venomous snake suddenly appearing out of nowhere, or a wild beast launching a surprise attack.
Moreover, the surrounding environment is completely visible, and this unrestricted view is indeed much more comfortable...
Every forty or fifty meters Ye Feng would select a large tree and mark it with a conspicuous arrow → symbol.
The journey was smooth so far; aside from encountering a few spiders and venomous snakes, he encountered almost no other dangers along the way…
But this is the Amazon, and a smooth journey is destined to take too long…
Two hours later, he walked to the branch of the river again…
Two islands divide this not-so-wide river into four smaller rivers.
Ye Feng raised his wrist, opened the map, and finally chose the small river at the very edge...
Now, the red arrow on the map is almost at the target point.
He roughly estimated that it was only about one kilometer away.
Ye Feng looked up at the slowly fading sunlight and knew that it was definitely getting late.
Having spent so much time in the Amazon, he had long since memorized the time of sunset.
It is currently around 4:30 to 5:00 PM.
After thinking it over, he quickened his pace and jogged along...
After running for about ten minutes, he seemed to gradually realize that something was wrong…
The surrounding rivers grew smaller and smaller, eventually turning into small ditches only about twenty meters wide.
The ground beneath his feet was no longer firm; instead, it became increasingly muddy as he walked.
An ominous yet somewhat familiar feeling instantly enveloped his heart.
He checked the map again, confirmed that the route was correct, and continued walking briskly forward.
Five minutes later, he stopped again. The scene before him sent a chill down his spine, and his expression turned extremely serious…
Because just five or six hundred meters ahead of him lay the last thing he wanted to see at that moment…
Mangroves
The most common species in the Amazon mangrove forests is the American mangrove.
This tree thrives in damp, muddy soil.
These places are often swamps, and swamps are a nightmare for all survivors.
This place is infested with various deadly organisms and microorganisms, and is not only poor in resources, but also often accompanied by toxic miasma.
If you're not careful, you might get stuck in the swamp. At best, you'll have difficulty moving; at worst, you'll be swallowed by the silt and become nutrients for this dead land.
It's a very dangerous, deserted place...
Ye Feng had experienced a similar place last night. Although he escaped safely, it still left a deep impression on him.
Moreover, at that time, he had companions and a raft, so he wasn't too panicked...
But given his current physical condition, how can he get through this smoothly?
He stroked his beard and began to seriously consider a solution…
Today, he is determined to reach his destination no matter what.
