Chapter 11: Heading West
“That’s right, your Streamer, I’m back!”
At one o’clock in the afternoon, the energetic Qi Xuan started today’s second Live Stream.
During the lunch break, he didn’t waste time either, but roughly observed the surrounding environment, confirmed the subsequent route, and made sure he had a general idea.
At this moment, he was holding that thin, long branch, continuing to move forward.
“You can see that the grass here is very lush. You must be careful when walking inside to prevent any poisonous snakes or insects from popping out. You might not even have time to react.”
As he was speaking, Qi Xuan suddenly saw four or five black-purple gourds lying under the grass on the right. He immediately looked pleased and quickly reached out to pick them:
“This is a very typical Grass Gourd. The pulp inside can be eaten after it’s cut open. After eating it, scrape it clean, and the outer shell can also be used as a water scoop to hold water or store water, etc.”
Qi Xuan knocked the gourds against each other, and a crisp “dong dong” sound rang out, sounding very hard.
He held his palm like a knife and, along the upper and lower joints of the gourd, chopped down with a hand knife.
With a crisp “crack,” the gourd was immediately split in half.
Seeing this scene, the netizens were all shocked:
“Holy shit, the Streamer is so strong?”
“This is a gourd, and it was split open with a single palm?”
“We usually use a knife or a hand saw to cut it. It’s too outrageous to cut it with bare hands.”
“Maybe the Streamer’s Grass Gourd is different from the gourds we usually encounter, with thinner skin and easier to cut?”
“Thin skin? Easy to cut? You should at least take a closer look at the thick skin at the cut.”
……
Qi Xuan calmly adjusted the camera angle. When the picture focused on the gourd, his expression immediately became distorted, and he fiercely rubbed his reddened right hand.
Damn, it hurts so much!
How can this Grass Gourd be so hard?!
While rubbing his hand, he also introduced the various Characteristics of the Grass Gourd to the Live Stream Room. Finally, when he had almost recovered, he squatted down and ate all the pulp inside, and then put away the remaining gourd shells.
On the road ahead, he successively harvested the Cow Tooth Grass, which could repel mosquitoes and prevent insects, the Luo Huan Grass, which could be used to weave and capture Insects, and the edible Gray-headed Amaranth, etc., leading the Blue Star netizens to greatly broaden their horizons. As for the Official Authorities of Various Countries exploration teams, they all took notes seriously and honestly.
“This is a Screw Pine, which is very similar to the Compass Tree on Blue Star. The arrangement of the leaves can be used to indicate direction, replacing the Compass for outdoor navigation.”
“Well, looking at this direction, we’ve been heading west, and we haven’t gone astray. I don’t know what’s at the end of the west. I hope to meet the local Native, at least let me know what’s going on in this world.”
Not far ahead, a whole face of a broken slope suddenly jumped into view, extending endlessly to the left and right, cut like a knife, the slope was extremely steep, and the vertical drop could be about six or seven meters.
Seeing the broken slope, the netizens immediately started discussing:
“It looks like we have to stop here.”
“Why not jump down?”
“Jumping down from such a height won’t break your head, will it?”
“Seriously, even if you break your leg, that’s a huge crisis. Don’t forget that we’re in the wild right now.”
“Take a detour, a detour should be able to get through.”
“How long will it take to detour? In my opinion, it’s better to cut down the trees. When the tree falls, it’s a natural road bridge.”
“What are you talking about cutting down trees? Does the Streamer have an axe? Without an axe, when will the tree be felled? By that time, we would have already gone around.”
“Weave vines, pull a few vines and weave them, tie them to the tree and rappel down. This should be the simplest method.”
……
Qi Xuan couldn’t see the netizens’ suggestions, but even if he saw them, he wouldn’t care, because from the beginning, he didn’t take this broken slope seriously.
He had a simpler and more direct way to go down the slope.
Qi Xuan stood in front of the broken slope and looked around, then retreated more than ten meters, then accelerated suddenly, and when he stepped on the broken slope, he leaped upwards, like an eagle taking off, drawing a parabola in mid-air, and landed steadily in a dense patch of grass, rolling a few times to relieve the force, and finally stood up straight.
Seeing this elegant and neat scene, the Live Stream Room was silent.
Then, a dense barrage poured in like a flood:
“I’m so f*cking shocked! What did I see?”
“Can you jump so high?”
“Did the Streamer unbind the gravity key?”
“Referee! He’s cheating! He’s cheating!”
“Knees: Don’t cue, didn’t participate in this performance.”
“《About me becoming a parkour athlete》.”
“My cat fell when jumping off the sofa, and you call this a human?”
……
How excited the netizens of Blue Star were, let’s not mention it for the time being, Qi Xuan didn’t take it seriously.
The reason is simple, he can’t see the Barrage.
Otherwise, if he had seen the praise of the netizens, he wouldn’t have done anything today, and he would have had to jump back and forth here a dozen times.
He moved his ankles, and when the numbness in his feet subsided, Qi Xuan continued to walk forward.
Not far away, he suddenly sniffed his nose and said with surprise:
“I feel the Water Vapor, and if nothing unexpected happens, there should be a river ahead.”
Under the excitement, the speed of progress also became faster.
Suddenly, his steps faltered, and his right hand shot out like lightning.
After the netizens in the Live Stream Room reacted, they saw that he was holding a thumb-sized green Insect, with a sharp Mouth, like a silver needle.
“This thing is a poisonous insect, called the Thorn Iron Bug. The needle-like Mouth has a deadly poison, and it is very sharp. Once stung, even an adult, at most two minutes, will die on the spot, and there’s no time to save them.”
Saying that, Qi Xuan couldn’t help but swallow his saliva:
“But, although this Thorn Iron Bug is poisonous, it looks like it tastes very good. Such rich protein is not common in the forest.”
He directly twisted off the Thorn Iron Bug’s head, took out the digestive organs from its body, then removed the Tail, and put it directly into his Mouth to chew. He frowned while chewing:
“The evolution is still not perfect, it tastes a bit sour.”
“Bad review.”
Hearing this, the netizens couldn’t hold back:
“Thorn Iron Bug: Did I evolve just for you to eat?”
“The Streamer’s Mouth is more effective than insecticide.”
“Two minutes of death VS two minutes of clearing the plate.”
“Insect buffet, is it?”
“It is recommended to add some wasabi to remove the sourness.”
……
After replenishing the protein, Qi Xuan said very seriously:
“Thorn Iron Bugs usually live near the humid Waters and Swamps. Now that they appear here, it means that there is a high probability of a river ahead.”
“If there is a river, then searching along the riverbank, it is very likely that we will encounter the local Native, or at least we can get out of this forest.”
“This may be the first step for us to see the true face of this world!”
Qi Xuan continued to move forward.
The hearts of the Blue Star netizens were all raised, and even the Official Authorities of Various Countries exploration teams were closely watching the Live Stream Room at this moment, waiting for the arrival of that key moment.
Then, an extremely shocking scene suddenly crashed into everyone’s field of vision.
