Live Wilderness Adventure

Chapter 485: Genetic Instinct

If nothing else, it was a surprise.

The simple rain shelter was directly washed away by the enlarging torrential rain, and a large number of palm leaves poured down with the rain. Fortunately, when the opening was broken and the rain poured, Bi Fang jumped out ahead of time.

Wearing a simple raincoat made of green palm leaves, Bi Fang put a huge bucket hat on his head.

In less than half an hour, Bi Fang successfully made a coir raincoat and a coir rain cap, which looked quite similar.

It's just that the color is a little weird, different from the usual yellowish brown, Bi Fang's body is pure green, and the rainwater flows down the fresh palm leaves to form small water columns, dripping on the straw sandals.

"Actually, making a temporary raincoat is not that difficult." Bi Fang raised the brim of his hat to look at the road, and the rain fell behind him and dripped on the ground along the lines.

There is no need to consider the durability and storage of temporary raincoats, as long as they can keep out the rain, the compilation is over.

Bi Fang surrounded the palm leaves in a circle, leaving a gap in the middle, enough to cover the head, and then tied all the petioles together with a thread made of palm velvet, which can roughly cover the whole body, and then repeated it several times. Several are superimposed.

Several layers of thin raincoats cross each other and superimpose to form a thick raincoat, and the two layers are woven tighter, tied correspondingly, and complementary to each other, so that it is difficult for rainwater to enter.

As for the bamboo hats, Bi Fang made them by weaving baskets.

First collect six more flexible branches, cut a hole in the middle of the three branches, and insert the other three branches to form a simple cross.

The place where the cross contact is inserted should be bound and fixed with thin rope twice, and every three wires must be tightly wound once, and each of the four directions of the cross should be done once in each direction to avoid displacement and breakage.

After that, a large number of vines can be used to bind two by two, and a total of sixteen branches outside the cross can be extended and spread out evenly, forming a complete skeleton.

By controlling the distance between the branches and allowing them to form a certain arc, a funnel-shaped hat can be created. Of course, this still cannot be fixed on the head.

Therefore, it is necessary to insert the branches from the gap at the initial place to form the chinstrap to hang down, so that after wearing it, the chinstrap can be clamped to the main jaw to achieve the purpose of fixing.

The common bamboo hats in the countryside are also made in this way. The structure of Bi Fang is not different from theirs, but it is rougher, but on the surface, it is no different.

As for the rain protection, with the skeleton, the rain protection is much simpler. The skeleton itself is very densely woven, and it is enough to lay a layer of bundled palm leaves on it, and slightly repair the edges.

Perfect.

"It's heavy to wear, and it can't be stored for a long time. It may be spoiled in two or three days."

For a better rainproof effect, Bi Fang stacked several layers of coir raincoats, which are very thick, resulting in an increase in weight, but the effect is very good.

Walking in the rain forest at this moment, it has been completely isolated from the rain outside.

[New skin, only 998, rainforest walker to take home! 】

【A suit of green】

[The grass skirt is not enough, we need to add a grass coat and a straw hat! 】

With a big basket of iron bacteria, Bi Fang had enough time again.

Because the most difficult part of ironmaking is undoubtedly finding materials.

At the beginning, Bi Fang planned to spend three days looking for materials, but now that these three days are saved at once, he can do a lot of things.

At least there is no need to give up the salt mine in a hurry. You can extend the time and go back on the ninth or even tenth day.

[Fang Shen: This kind of mentality is a big taboo in the wilderness. Don't be lucky. If there is no harvest today, I will return to the same place. 】

【Ha ha ha, die laughing】

[What do you know, the plan cannot keep up with the changes, such a decision is reasonable! Dog head body protection]

eighth day.

The sky was still overcast.

Bi Fang temporarily built a single-slope shelter. When he woke up, he found that it was still raining and there were puddles all around.

Although the rain was much smaller than when we first came here, it was also more continuous. It didn't stop for a whole night, and there was even a tendency to continue.

Bi Fang caressed the bamboo hat, put down the bark frame, and opened the lid. The inside was empty, only a pile of yellow mud made of iron bacteria remained, which felt awkward.

There is no food!

I also ate up all the grubs I found before. After grilling it, it tasted a very weird texture, and it would burst into pulp. The taste was surprisingly good.

The konjac tubers are gone, and the last thing left is a few handfuls of lemongrass picked on the road, but this thing can only be used as a condiment, not a meal!

【The landlord's house has no room left】

[It's raining, where can I find something to eat? 】

Scratching his head, Bi Fang looked around and didn't know when the rain would stop, so he simply sat in the shelter to reduce energy consumption and chat with the audience.

"Many large animals generally don't dodge when it's raining lightly. What should they do? Only when it encounters heavy rain will they move."

"When heavy rains come and there is nowhere to hide, animals like giraffes, elephants, and bison generally choose to stay still, because strenuous exercise will cause rapid heat loss."

"So it's better to do nothing and enjoy this rare tranquility quietly. In heavy rain, even predators such as lions and tigers will temporarily give up hunting, and almost all animals will relax their vigilance."

[This is why you hide in the shelter and be lazy? 】

[Good guy, no wonder I don’t want to move when it rains, so I’m a beast at heart]

【Aww, aww, aww, wild awakening】

【Is that why you don't go to work? 】

"What I'm talking about is basically only for mammals, and not all animals are like this. For example, rainy days are the peak season for many snakes." Bi Fang changed his posture and lay directly on the ground.

The temperature has risen a lot in the past two days, but it is not as cold as the first time it rained, and the coir raincoat is draped over the body to further keep warm.

【why? 】

【Snake is my lifelong enemy! How could there be such a terrifying creature in the world? 】

"Because the air pressure is very low before and after the rain, the cave will be very stuffy, and when it rains, frogs and mice will come out, so it is easier to fill their stomachs."

Bi Fang is also afraid of snakes, they are greasy, covered with parasites, and are very good at camouflage, many of them are highly poisonous, so it’s okay to find them out in advance, if they don’t find out in advance.

Type gg directly.

Moreover, fear of snakes is actually a biological instinct.

"Our ancestors were prey for carnivorous mammals and birds of prey a long time ago, of course, so long ago that humans are not humans."

Bi Fang's eyes seemed to become deeper.

"Fortunately, at that time we had evolved a system that could identify predators, quickly locate general threats and help escape, but when snakes appeared as the first predator, this system completely failed."

"Because they look like sticks, no other predators use their rib muscles and scales to move like snakes. As long as they put on a layer of camouflage, they can get close to the unsuspecting prey."

[What about after, what about after? 】

[It's impossible to be afraid of snakes. It's impossible to be afraid of snakes in this life. Look, there's a five-step snake here. Am I afraid? Watch me in minutes]

[I am so afraid of snakes that I am even afraid of seeing a turtle, because the head and neck of a tortoise are very similar to a snake, and when the image of a snake appears in my mind, I will shudder and get goosebumps all over my body]

[Why are we afraid of snakes and still click in to hear why we are afraid of snakes? 】

"Fortunately, in the end, some primates evolved something similar to snake sensors, evolved neurons specially used to locate snakes, and helped primitive monkeys quickly avoid wriggling sticks, and then Dodge, and eventually, these things end up on humans."

"Observations of human brain waves have shown that when we see pictures of snakes, our brains engage in a greater amount of activity in assessing danger than when we see pictures of other predators."

Bi Fang still remembers that a professor once talked about this.

At that time, two sets of pictures were released to them, from blurry to clear, almost mosaic at first, and finally, a clear picture of a snake and a clear picture of a cat.

Almost the moment it was released, the first thing everyone noticed was the last picture of the snake.

"Our brains need less visual information to recognize a snake than to recognize other animals."

That's what the old professor said at the time, and now Bi Fang is relaying it to the audience in front of the screen.

"Some researchers even believe that we have evolved such an excellent color vision system to a certain extent to help identify snakes."

"There's also research showing that our susceptibility to snakes makes us more afraid of them, but there's no scientific conclusion as to why. But there's no question that we have snakes on our minds!"

Bi Fang tapped his temple with his index finger, as if there was really a snake entrenched inside.

[Grandma, the first one to know why I get so nervous every time I see Fang Shen catching snakes. 】

[Shocked, because of the rain, the outdoor anchor changed jobs and became a popular science anchor! 】

[By analogy, is this why I am afraid of long centipedes? 】

"Maybe."

Bi Fang was noncommittal, stretched out his hand to check the rainwater, found that it was much smaller, grabbed the bucket hat and put it on his head, and walked towards the jungle.

"Let's go, the rain has dropped a lot, let's go and see if there is anything to eat to fill our stomachs."

Get some monthly tickets, I can’t live without them, uh~~~
