Chapter 12: The Way of the Beast
With a sleeping bag tied on her back and an engineer shovel on her waist, Su Meng brandished a machete to open the way ahead, followed by Su Xiang, Zhang Lin, Bo Jing, and Du Jiayue in similar costumes.

There are no roads in the primordial forest, even if there are, they are paths made by wild beasts, commonly known as animal paths.

Although that kind of road is easier to walk, it is very dangerous. If you don't pay attention, you will have a face-to-face fight with the beast.

It was the first time for Su Xiang and the four of them to come to this kind of place. At this moment, their hearts were full of excitement, uneasiness and fear.

This is the charm of nature. Since it makes the heart yearn, it also makes the heart fear.

Compared with Zhang Lin, Bai Jing, and Du Jiayue, Su Xiang's performance was a bit unexpected. His black eyes were more excited and excited, and occasionally a trace of uneasiness would appear when he looked up at Su. When the dream is back, it dissipates and becomes more at ease.

His sister is a cheater now!
Bo Jing was panting heavily, he didn't understand why these people had such good physical strength, he was almost exhausted, okay? !

Especially the underage Su Xiang, who looks skinny, has walked for so long with such a heavy thing on his back, and still doesn't feel tired?

This unscientific!

Bai Jing had a bitter face, but it was Su Meng, a slender girl, who opened the way. She didn't even cry out to stop when she was tired. He was a big man, so he was naturally embarrassed to say stop and take a rest.

As for Zhang Lin and Du Jiayue, these two people actually relied on the perseverance of not admitting defeat, coupled with fear, they didn't dare to stop and rest in such a place, so they kept gritting their teeth and persevering.

Only Su Meng and Su Xiang, who have taken body strengthening agents, will really feel no fatigue at all.

Hearing the heavier and heavier gasps behind him, Su Meng finally came to his senses, slowed down his pace, and said, "Do you want to rest where you are?"

Zhang Lin, Bo Jing, and Du Jiayue couldn't wait for their dreams. They stopped and wiped the sweat from their foreheads together, then took a breath and said, "Although I have been mentally prepared for a long time, I didn't expect that the road in the jungle would be so easy." It is so difficult to walk, except for the trees and vines, it is more tiring than climbing a mountain."

"That's right, it's harder than walking on a mountain road."

"Climbing stairs has never been so tiring."

Hearing the words of the three with some resentment, Su Meng couldn't help but smile heartily. She knew that Du Jiayue was from a rural area, and her family had contracted a hilltop to plant fruit trees. Therefore, she lived halfway up the mountain, and she had no physical strength. .

Not to mention Zhang Lin and Bo Jing, one is a boss who spends years in the gym, and the other is a delivery boy who can deliver food anywhere.

Even so, the three of them were still exhausted enough, which shows how difficult this road is.

In fact, Su Meng has already picked a good place to go, but this is an island with abundant rain and sunshine, and no human has ever set foot here, so it is very difficult for the plants here to be dense.

This also caused the five people to always pay attention to their surroundings to avoid scratching their exposed skin by the surrounding branches and thorns. They also had to pay attention to whether there were insects on the branches and leaves above their heads, and whether there were poisonous snakes hidden in the dead branches and rotten leaves under their feet.

They had been walking like this for nearly an hour.

Su Meng opened the way while collecting the tinder needed to make fire by drilling wood. It is not easy to make fire by drilling wood, and the requirements for tinder to start fire are relatively high.

Fortunately, she discovered a tree called the Candle Fruit Tree, also known as the Stone Chestnut. The seeds are rich in oil, and some primitive residents in the tropics would use them as candles, and the leaves of this tree are very suitable for making tinder.

As for the fire pole, Su Meng chose a kind of wood called Ang Tianlian in Chinese and Abroma mollis in English. This kind of wood grows fast and has soft wood, which is very suitable for drilling wood to make fire.

Ang Tianlian's trunk is about the thickness of a finger, and only one branch is needed to make a fire drill and a bottom plate.

She scraped off the bark of the soft wood with a hatchet as she made her way, and then put the treated stick on the sleeping bag while the sun was still there, making sure it could be exposed to the sun all the time, because the drill rod and the bottom plate had to be Dry, just in case, she also deliberately picked up a dried branch.

"Crack! Crack!"

From time to time, there was a crackling sound in the five-person team, which was beating mosquitoes.

There are so many mosquitoes in the wild that they are flying in the air densely. People with trysophobia will definitely feel their scalps go numb when they see them, and they can't wait to escape this place immediately.

"Su Meng, haven't you found a suitable place to build a shelter yet?" Bo Jing stammered and asked, he licked his dry lips, his throat felt half on fire, and his saliva was also unconsciously secreting.

Walking in the sweltering jungle, the human body is already prone to lack of water, and the strenuous exercise caused them to sweat profusely. This will make the five of Su Meng feel a little dehydrated.

This is a very dangerous thing, because if the body suddenly loses too much water, it will lead to symptoms such as brain hypoxia, dizziness, and limb weakness.

"We should find the water source first." Zhang Lin regretted that he hadn't insisted on finding the water source first. Now he was so thirsty that his voice was even a little hoarse.

Seeing everyone's sweaty faces and dry lips, Su Meng had no choice but to change her plan.

She really overestimated the physical fitness of Zhang Lin, Du Jiayue, and Bo Jing, or underestimated the effect of the genetic fluid.

Su Meng walked a few steps forward, found a place with a slightly open terrain and said, "Let's rest on the spot for 10 minutes. I'll go to see if there is any fresh water to drink. You can look for some dry wood nearby. And the wild vegetables I know."

Su Meng adjusted the priorities of various matters, and moved the search for water from the second level to the first level.

In fact, she can also look for water sources by looking at the direction of the terrain.

As the saying goes, when people go to high places, water flows to low places. As long as you stand high enough, you can see the low-lying places, where there are most likely to be water sources.

And if you want to stand tall, you can climb a tree.

But she didn't intend to waste energy on this aspect, after all, she would build a shelter later, and there were many places that needed energy.

After Du Jiayue and Su Xiang rested for a while, they began to look for the wild vegetables they had just met.

The "template" of wild vegetables in the hands of the two was collected by Su Meng when he was opening the road. Unfortunately, there were not many wild vegetables found on the road, only a few scattered ones.

Zhang Lin and Bo Jing went to pick up dry firewood. They took over this kind of physical work very consciously.

No way, who made Du Jiayue a girl, and Su Xiang looked weak and unruly?
Su Meng took the engineering shovel to clear out a flat ground, then squatted down and began to check the humidity of the soil, and then lay down on the ground to listen.

This is also one of the ways to find water sources in the wilderness. If there is groundwater passing by, you can hear it through this method. This method is also very common in film and television dramas. It is mostly used to detect whether there is an enemy or how many troops there are.

But obviously, the water source is not so easy to find.

After holding her breath and listening for a while, Su Meng made sure that there was no sound of water flowing. Then she stood up, wiped off the mud accidentally stained on her face with the back of her hands, and then clapped her hands casually.

Since she couldn't find the water source through this method, she had to find another way.

Generally speaking, water sources can also be found through the direction of the mountains, so she began to carefully recall the whole picture of Taiji Island seen from the helicopter.

After choosing a direction, Su Meng said hello to Su Xiang, Zhang Lin, Bai Jing, and Du Jiayue, and then took a hatchet and set foot on the road to find the water source.

This time, she was alone, and she didn't need to stop and go to gather some wild vegetables, so she walked very fast, waving the hatchet with a hunting sound.

After walking like this for about half an hour, she suddenly slowed down.

She discovered a bestial way.
