This is the terror of Amazon!
But he didn't have time to think about it; he aimed the grappling hook and immediately threw it...
Having learned from his previous experience, he was much more adept this time, hooking the backpack in just six attempts…
Ye Feng smiled slightly and quickly pulled back, but when they were still three or four meters away, the accident still happened...
A black caiman, about four meters long, suddenly leaped out of the water. It may have mistaken the moving backpack for prey and snapped its jaws into it…
Then it began its death roll, but no matter how it spun, the backpack spun with it; after all, it wasn't a living thing…
Ye Feng panicked when he saw that the backpack was already opening and some foam inside was leaking out.
Putting everything else aside... even the hundred batteries inside could be used as fire starters, making them extremely valuable survival resources... He absolutely cannot give up on them like this.
He immediately grabbed a dead tree trunk from beside him and started poking it repeatedly at the crocodile's eyes...
"You beast! Let go! Let go!"
After being poked more than a dozen times, it was unclear whether the crocodile was genuinely in pain or simply didn't taste the blood, but it released its grip and submerged underwater...
Ye Feng quickly used the tree trunk to pull the backpack to his front...
Upon picking it up, I discovered that a hole the size of a palm had been torn in the center of the backpack…
"What a great waterproof backpack! It can hold so much stuff!" he thought, growing angrier with each passing thought. He roared angrily at the water's surface.
"You damned beast! Just you wait! I'll eat you up one day!"
He emptied his backpack, and a loud crash caught his attention…
When he peeled back the foam boards and saw what was buried underneath, his grin almost stretched to his ears…
Because this backpack contains three very important survival items…
A pair of camouflage high-top jungle boots—as a seasoned survival enthusiast, Ye Feng could tell at a glance that these boots were expensive…
In the Amazon rainforest, many deaths are not caused by large predators, but by snakes, insects, and rodents on the ground…
These boots not only help avoid a lot of danger, but also prevent "trench foot" disease...
Ye Feng's shoes were soaked through from the rain, and even his toes were white from being soaked.
He quickly changed into his boots, and his icy feet immediately felt the warmth. Perhaps it was fate; the size was just right, not too big or too small…
As for the second item, it's something truly exceptional. Whether it's jungle survival or desert island survival, it's a top-tier (T0) tool...
That was a sharp axe, a steel axe with an iron handle, an indispensable tool for chopping or building...
In case of danger, it can also be used as a weapon; it can easily penetrate even the armor of a black caiman…
The last item, and also Ye Feng's favorite, was a book at least ten centimeters thick, on which was written…
Jungle Survival Guide
He flipped through a few pages at random. The book not only recorded all sorts of plants and animals, but also clearly explained which herbs to use when ill and how to take them…
The more he looked, the wider his smile grew... Finally, he couldn't hold back any longer and burst out laughing...
"Ha ha!"
Ye Feng already possessed a wealth of survival knowledge, and now he even had a survival manual and tools...
At this moment, his confidence was at its peak... He was determined to win this survival game...
A short while later, he packed up his tools and foam, installed the batteries in the camera according to the instructions, and turned on the recording function…
There are two types of cameras: head-mounted and tripod-mounted. They are the latest products of 2050, and although they look bulky, they are actually less than half the weight of those from 30 years ago…
Ye Feng didn't have time to hold the camera right now, so he opted for a headband-style one. Fortunately, the backpack's straps had an extension function, allowing him to carry two at the same time...
Looking at the gradually darkening sky, Ye Feng knew that it was getting dark.
The Amazon nights are far more dangerous than the days. The rainforest predators will soon be out hunting…
Therefore, he needs to find a safe place to hide as soon as possible...
After searching for half an hour, Ye Feng traversed countless dense foliage and arrived at the base of a large tree that was about ten meters tall...
This tree is neither too tall nor too short, with many branches, making it easy to climb...
It can help you avoid danger and stay away from snakes, insects, and rodents on the ground, but it can be a bit uncomfortable to sleep in...
Thinking of this, Ye Feng turned and walked towards the vine thicket he had just passed, intending to make a simple hammock...
In the Amazon, vines are abundant and are an excellent material for making ropes.
With the help of a dagger and an axe, he collected a large bundle of vines in just over ten minutes.
On his way back, he stopped abruptly as he passed a rotten, thick log…
He remembered what Bear Grylls had once said: these kinds of trees usually contain stag beetle larvae.
This insect is rich in protein and calories... about 3.5 times that of beef...
Ye Feng hadn't eaten for almost a day, and with the extra weight of dozens of kilograms, his energy was completely depleted.
He chopped at the tree trunk with an axe, and soon found the white larvae hiding in the branches...
These worms were about the size of his thumb, incredibly plump, and except for their brown heads, they looked like giant maggots…
Looking at these wriggling worms, Ye Feng's facial features almost contorted in disgust.
His mind involuntarily flashed back to Bear Grylls's famous scene of exploding juice...
Although he really didn't want to eat it, his stomach kept growling. There was nothing he could do; it was something he had to go through for wilderness survival…
He picked up an insect, brushed off the wood chips, hesitated for a moment, and then took a bite…
"puff…"
A faint sound, like popping a pustule, rang out, and the worm... burst out...
Sour, bitter, foul, and pungent... a complex, indescribable taste he had never experienced before instantly spread through his mouth...
The strange taste was even more disgusting than he had imagined. He suppressed the urge to vomit and forced himself to swallow it after chewing it a couple of times...
If you can't even endure this level, how can you talk about winning the game?
However, Ye Feng decided not to continue eating like that, as it would be bad if he contracted some kind of illness.
He removed the larva's head and internal organs, leaving only the body...
Whether driven by hunger or not, he ate several in a row and surprisingly found the texture of the insects...
It's soft and chewy, and even gets more fragrant the more you chew it... so it doesn't seem so hard to accept after all...
But while he was enjoying his meal, Ye Feng was completely unaware that a pair of bright yet fierce eyes had already been fixed on him…
