Ye Feng rested for only a few minutes before starting the next step of the operation...
He first dug a small pit in the center of the pile of dirt, then took a wooden jar and carried water up and poured it into the pit, trip after trip…
Finally, some fine grass is torn from the surrounding area and incorporated into it to increase its malleability.
After stirring for more than ten minutes until well mixed...
He squeezed it with his hand, and the sticky feeling made him grin involuntarily...
A pile of substandard cement was thus completed...
He wiped the sweat from his face, eagerly picked up a portion of cement, and began filling the platform…
This process is not only easy, but also very stress-relieving…
All you need to do is pour cement in and seal the gaps between the logs.
If there are larger gaps, they are first plugged with dry grass, and then cement is poured in.
Before long, the treehouse platform was completely sealed...
Ye Feng lay down and tried it out, but his brows furrowed slightly…
It did feel a bit more comfortable, but it was still quite irritating and far from being truly comfortable.
He couldn't stand sleeping on this kind of ground for a hundred days...
He immediately got up, first cutting down an elephant's foot tree nearby, and after trimming the edges and branches...
He picked up the measuring tape again and started measuring, while also using a short knife to continuously carve around the tree trunk...
Ye Feng's original plan was to make a temporary bed out of wooden planks.
However, the treehouse platform is only eleven or twelve square meters. After putting down the bed, mobility is greatly reduced, which is not very convenient...
So, he thought it over and decided it would be better to just cover the entire platform with wooden planks...
This way, you can lie down and sleep directly on it without affecting the space...
After measuring the dimensions, they sawed out planks, then poured cement as a base, and finally covered them with the planks one by one…
Once the cement dries, the treehouse will have a flat floor…
Ye Feng was extremely busy and dared not stop for a moment...
Meanwhile, Fu Changxiong's tree-cutting task was also in full swing...
He was currently in a dense forest two kilometers away from the camp...
The terrain here is uneven, yet many cedar trees grow here…
He was lucky; the trees he was cutting down were immature kauri trees.
This tree is straight and sturdy, making it perfect for building shelter walls.
"ah!…"
But just as he was chopping away with great enthusiasm, screams suddenly came from the dense vegetation not far away.
About two or three seconds later, Qi Xiaojie rushed out...
He was still covered in vines as he scrambled toward Fu Changxiong.
Its head kept glancing behind it, as if it were being chased by some monster...
Seeing this, Fu Changxiong quickly grabbed his axe and charged forward...
"What happened?! Did you run into a wild boar?!"
Qi Xiaojie was out of breath from running, and her already slurred speech became even more halting...
No...no...no
"What?! Tell me quickly!"
"It's not... a wild... wild boar... it's... a huge... huge python!"
Fu Changxiong breathed a sigh of relief and rolled his eyes hard…
"It's just a python, what are you afraid of!? That thing isn't any braver than you."
Xiao Feng said that most pythons will run away when they see people, and this one might even be afraid of you.
Qi Xiaojie shook his head repeatedly, the look of terror on his face showing no sign of fading…
"That...that snake is...eating...eating people!"
"ah?"
Fu Changxiong's face twitched. Ye Feng had told him that ordinary pythons wouldn't attack people, much less eat them, unless it was a anaconda...
And these pythons... happen to be plentiful in the Amazon...
The two were in a place that was neither too far nor too close to the camp, yet this situation had occurred.
Could it be that there are many challengers around?
"Come on, take me to see it."
Qi Xiaojie shook his head even more violently. He had been terrified of snakes since he was a child, and what he had just witnessed almost made him wet his pants...
"Oh, what are you afraid of! If you're going to eat, eat me first."
If we don't figure out the situation, what if that snake runs into our camp in a couple of days?
Get out of here!
As he spoke, Fu Changxiong grabbed him and led him deeper into the vegetation...
Within minutes, the two reached the edge of the vegetation, and below... lay a swamp shrouded in white miasma...
It's like a magical formation set up by a master in a novel. Eerie and fantastical…
A pungent, musty stench instantly filled their nostrils, right in the heart of the forest of rotting, black, decaying logs…
A dark brown striped anaconda with a waist as thick as a bucket is slowly devouring a human corpse.
This is its favorite habitat, and next to it, there's a black backpack covered in mud...
Clearly, the corpse was also one of the challengers in the game…
It's easy to tell from the body's limbs that it was an adult male.
He is about 1.8 meters tall and weighs about 150 kilograms.
His hands and feet were twisted in an extremely unnatural position, clearly deformed by the anaconda.
Such a large person was easily swallowed up to the chest by this anaconda.
And what's most terrifying is that, judging from the rate at which the anaconda is devouring its prey, it clearly hasn't reached its limit yet...
The shocking scene before him made even Fu Changxiong, a burly man from Northeast China, feel his knees go weak.
He instantly thought of a movie called "Anaconda," and this scene was so similar to one in the movie.
Qi Xiaojie was so frightened that she sat down on the ground, trembling all over...
Neither of them had ever seen such a large python, let alone witnessed a snake swallowing a person...
"Brother Xiong...this place is...too...too scary, let's...let's go..."
Qi Xiaojie trembled as she tugged at Fu Changxiong's pants, not daring to even look at him...
Fu Changxiong didn't reply, but swallowed hard and stared intently at the black backpack beside him.
After a long pause, he gritted his teeth and made a decision…
"No, we can't leave. There might be important survival tools in that backpack. We have to get it!"
"Huh...what?"
Qi Xiaojie immediately stood up...
"Aren't you... willing to die?"
Fu Changxiong, however, remained resolute and patted him on the shoulder…
"If I hadn't met Brother Ye Feng, I would have been dead two days ago."
As a survival expert, he was willing to risk being gored to death by a wild boar just for his backpack.
As his burdens, we must have some value, right?
You should know very well that without him, neither of us would have survived to the end.
If someone who is not related to us saves us, shouldn't we do something to repay them?
We can't let others keep holding us back, can we?
Qi Xiaojie paused, his youthful face showing a conflicted expression...
After a long while, he adjusted his glasses, nodded firmly, as if he had made a huge decision…
"Okay! You...you tell me, I...I...we...how...to...do it."
Fu Changxiong smiled knowingly…
"Don't worry, little stutterer, you're still young. I won't let you take any risks."
