Chapter 89 Wilderness Survival Skills Training
Early in the morning, Bifang took a shower, put on all his equipment, took his newly bought water bottle, and set off towards his destination.
The location is not far away, and it only takes more than an hour's drive to get there. It is a small hill with few people, but the place is quite large and the ecological protection is also good. It is said that people often catch wild rabbits at the foot of the mountain.
This live broadcast is not a system task, and Bifang does not plan to stay there overnight. He will probably come back at night. The content of the live broadcast is survival skills training.
The previous system task interval, excluding the preparation period, was twelve days. If he did nothing during these twelve days and let the heat evaporate, he would be really stupid.
Many people may still be interested in the news within two or three days after reading it, but if it lasts more than a week, the matter will soon be forgotten.
The purpose of this live broadcast is to preserve the news' popularity to the greatest extent and strengthen the memory of passers-by, but not to waste too much time on it, otherwise it will affect his training and recovery, which will not be worth the loss.
Even so, Langya, as a platform, still gave it a homepage recommendation, showing its sincerity.
Now Langya really can be said to grant Bifang's every wish and worship him like a Buddha, fearing that he will run away from Taiwan if he is unhappy.
Bifang felt that as long as he was willing to ask, it would not be a problem to get a recommendation, but it was not necessary.
Passersby searched for him directly after watching his live broadcast, and they did not find him through the recommendation of Langya TV, so there is little connection.
Taking out his cell phone and checking, Bifang discovered that it was only 8:50 in the morning, and before the official live broadcast at 9 o'clock, there were already more than 40,000 people waiting in the live broadcast room with a black screen.
This even includes many other anchors, such as Yao Lina.
Of course, more anchors have heard of the Bifang Buddha and want to come and learn from it, see if there is anything they can emulate, and bring some popularity to themselves.
【Brainless support for Lao Fang! 】
【Lao Fang is awesome! 】
[Oh my god, there are so many people. Fang Shen is really a big anchor now. ]
[Nonsense, do you really think that the trending search is for nothing? ]
[But this time it's really amazing. Last time, there were only a few thousand people waiting before the live broadcast started. This time, there was a zero directly. Will there be another zero when the live broadcast starts? ]
[Adding another zero is unlikely, but doubling it is definitely easy. ]
[I saw on Weibo that the ruthless anchor who started a war with the wolf pack is broadcasting again. Is it from this live broadcast room? ]
[Yes, you came to the right place upstairs! ]
Bifang entered the backstage live broadcast room and changed the room title to: [Fangshen Survival: Skills and Training for Wilderness Survival! ]
Then start the drone.
The next second, the audience who had been waiting for a long time only felt the room suddenly click, and then a green mountain appeared before their eyes.
And Bifang was standing at the foot of the mountain.
At the same time, throughout China, all fans and viewers who followed Bifang’s live broadcast room received the live broadcast information as soon as possible.
The number of people increased like the tide. It was only 40,000 just now, but in just a few seconds, it doubled!
Eighty thousand!
In the upper right corner of the room, popularity soared rapidly. In less than ten minutes, it exceeded 500,000. No, it was already 600,000!
And these figures are still rising!
At the Langya TV headquarters, Wang Yongbo watched Bifang's rapidly rising popularity data and became so excited that his thick eyebrows fluttered along with the data.
Sure enough, the bonus of being on the hot search list has arrived!
My investment has started to pay off, this is definitely a golden stock!
Shark TV has lost so much money that even his own mother doesn’t recognize him, hahaha!
"Boss, it's stuck!" said the technician next to him as he looked at the live broadcast room that was stuck, directly interrupting Wang Yongbo's good mood.
"Add lines? Do I need to be told this?" Wang Yongbo was annoyed. This guy really had no foresight at all. If it weren't for his poor aunt begging him, and the fact that the guy had pretty good skills, he would have been fired long ago!
The staff member who was glared at shrank his neck again.
Wait, why did I say again?
The staff member was confused and thought this was a bad habit, but soon the sound of knocking on the table brought him back to his senses and he quickly started to operate.
The importance of lines to live streaming is unquestionable. More lines mean more network bandwidth and servers, so that the live streaming room can accommodate more viewers, the live streaming will not be stuck, and the experience will be better.
Wang Yongbo has only seen a few anchors who need to add lines urgently because the number of users is growing too fast in all these years.
Other big anchors either come with their own fans or are born with a lot of lines, but their growth is slow. Gradually, they become big names, and their lines also increase slowly. How can they be like Bifang?
Before coming to Langya, I had almost no foundation, but after two live broadcasts, the number of viewers directly exceeded 100,000, and now it has stabilized at 100,000!
It can be said to be a wonder in the live broadcast industry!
"Hello everyone, I am Bifang, a professional explorer!"
Facing the fans' high enthusiasm, Bifang smiled slightly: "Because my injury has not fully healed, it is not easy for me to carry out some overly dangerous live broadcast activities, so the location I chose this time is a small mountain 100 kilometers away from Shanghai. Compared with the previous two live broadcast locations, it is a bit inferior to the stage, but there are also few people."
Bifang directed the camera to the hill in front of him. The hill did not look high, and it could not even be called a mountain, but it was continuous and full of primitive atmosphere.
However, as Bifang entered the forest, many old viewers immediately noticed the difference.
[The trees here are so short, completely different from what I saw before]
[Of course, this is not a primeval forest, many trees were planted later, right? ]
[How can the ancient tree still exist if it is close to humans? 】
[Uh... Pedestrian Street? ]
[Speaking of which, this is such a deserted place so close to the Demon City? 】
[Of course there are. Aren’t there many places along the highway? It’s not hard to find a place with few people. It’s hard to find a place with no people at all.]
[Is it not a big deal that Lao Fang hasn’t recovered from his injury? Actually, we can wait (insincerely.jpg)]
[Didn't you say you were going to teach us some survival skills? Hurry up and serve the main course! ]
Many viewers were attracted to the show after hearing about Bifang's deeds of fighting against black bears and wolves, and now they can't wait to see some actual content.
Bifang didn't want to keep everyone in suspense, he walked into the woods and spoke.
"Since this isn't some primeval forest, there's nothing much to introduce. Let's get straight to the point. It's nine in the morning now, and I plan to go hunting first. The last time I caught rabbits, I didn't describe some of the details very well, so I'll teach you all this time."
When many viewers heard this, they immediately became excited. Hunting!
What man doesn't admire this primitive and charming sport? Otherwise, there wouldn't be so many emperors and princes in ancient times who regarded hunting as a recreational activity.
Capturing prey through one's own abilities brings a great sense of accomplishment!
[Yes, coach, I want to learn this! ]
[Indeed, the last time I caught a rabbit, I just felt that Fang Shen was very powerful, and didn't pay much attention to the method. ]
[The methods and approaches are all here, but you don’t have the solution to the problem, so your study is in vain! ]
[Peter Bupi gave the anchor Langya*1,000—I want to learn! ]
[A spaceship*1 is presented to the anchor. —No one will come to grab the first place this time (beware!)]
"Why are you two here again? Have you finished your homework? Today is Monday, why don't you skip school and watch the live broadcast? Do you want me to buy you two a hundred sets of Huanggang secret papers to practice? Don't worry, this is a fan benefit and it's free." Bifang looked at the two familiar nicknames and revealed an inexplicable smile.
Last time, it was these two rich second-generation students who vowed to take the top spot on the list. But then Master Lin Changlin showed up out of nowhere and the two of them were defeated together.
However, Bifang does not encourage the two students to spend money on rewards, even if they are rich second-generations, it is not worth it.
Live streaming is entertainment. If you like it, support it. If you don’t like it, leave. Just don’t disturb other people’s interest.
The most important thing is not to miss the important things.
[Ah, is this really a fan benefit? ]
[This benefit is a bit scary]
[No, Fang Shen, I don’t dare anymore. I will learn right now. I will learn right now.]
[Hahaha, I’m learning. I’m learning.]
Seeing that the two stopped giving gifts, Bifang returned to the main topic.
"In order to get close enough to kill prey, we need to learn some techniques to catch them without them realizing it. You may not have powerful guns, but only a homemade bow and arrow and a throwing stick."
Bifang randomly picked a branch, made a throwing gesture, pointed to the distance and said: "In order to get close enough to the prey to kill them accurately, you need to walk to a distance of only 10 to 15 meters away from the prey. This means that you must move towards the prey quietly and unnoticed."
This is actually difficult to do without training. For example, last time, in order to catch a hare, Bifang walked directly within five meters. This distance was already very easy to be discovered because the human body size is destined to be unable to be easily concealed.
The hunt was successful mainly due to the hare's blind spot and the slope that blocked part of the view.
"And the fox step is the best of all the steps that can silently approach prey!"
As Bifang explained, he observed the nearby area to see if there were any animals, pheasants or rabbits would be fine, but his dry explanation was a bit boring.
Unfortunately, there is only the smell of earth and the fragrance of leaves in the air, and no other smell for the time being.
After two days of adaptation, Bifang was able to use its sense of smell to conduct some simple searches and identifications, and would not be easily choked unless the smell was really strong, such as an unmaintained toilet and cheap, pungent perfume.
His abilities weren't quite as good as a hound's, but as long as an animal had defecated nearby, the smell would most likely be noticed.
"The fox step is a slow forward step, which is also a way our ancestors have long used to approach prey. The principle is to put the center of gravity on the non-moving leg with each step forward, so that the moving foot can 'feel' the ground. That is, the foot gradually approaches the ground from the outside to the inside to detect things on the ground."
The drone's camera automatically moved downward, shifting the focus of the image to Bifang's feet, and the camera was specially enlarged to clearly capture his every move.
Bifang pushed aside the weeds on the ground, carefully raised his foot to move, and then used the leg that was bearing the weight to maintain his balance.
Then extend your lifted foot forward and land carefully from the outside to the inside of the foot.
"The key here is to land with the outside foot first, never with the entire sole of the foot. Only when it is safe can you land the entire foot, and then repeat this action."
"The fox step is to make sure there is nothing sharp under your feet or that it won't make any noise, then you can put your feet completely on the ground and move your center of gravity forward."
"If there is something poking your foot or there is a sound on the ground, lift your foot up and change position. Be careful when lifting and lowering your foot to avoid hitting branches and stones that make noises."
Bifang was moving forward steadily in such a slow demonstration. Although the speed was very slow, it did not make any sound.
[Did you turn down the volume? Or is the drone unable to receive the signal? ]
[Fang Shen's drone can't receive volume? The funniest joke this year. 】
[Fang Shen's drone is officially awesome, and didn't you hear the rustling of leaves and breathing? How could he have turned down the volume if he could hear that?]
【All right.】
The number of viewers has now exceeded 100,000, but that also means that more new viewers have come in, which inevitably leads to many problems.
But fortunately, Bifang has enough fans, so he doesn’t even need to explain it himself, and a lot of people responded.
[But isn’t this too slow? ]
[Yes, yes, the daylily is cold, right? ]
“You might find this is very slow, but therein lies its main advantage.”
Bifang saw the comment: "Because you don't need to look away from the surrounding environment and stare at the ground. This will also make the movement very quiet, and because the speed is very slow, many animals will not regard you as a threat."
As soon as this sentence came out, many viewers had a lot of insights and recalled some experiences they had encountered in the past.
[That’s right, if you walk slowly, it seems that many animals won’t be too vigilant]
[The stray dog downstairs from my house is like this. If you walk by it slowly every day, it won’t be afraid of you, but if you run towards it, it will run away very quickly.]
Bifang uses a wooden stick to push aside the grass to make sure there are no poisonous insects, snakes or ants before the queen settles down.
There will be no big predators in this kind of hill because the food chain cannot support their appetite, but there will still be a lot of poisonous snakes.
Moreover, it is still October, and most snakes hibernate in December. Now is their active period of hunting and storing food for the winter.
Sure enough, just as Bifang pushed aside a piece of grass, a black shadow suddenly flashed out. Many spectators did not see it clearly, and the black shadow went down the mountain, which scared everyone.
Looking at the weeds swaying not far away, netizens started to comment.
[Damn, what a long tail! ]
Is that a snake?
[What a black snake, very black! ]
[What a powerful force! The grass is shaking and twisting so fast. It must have run dozens of meters in these few seconds.]
[It actually ran away directly. Isn't this snake too disappointing? 】
[If it does well, you will be out of energy, brother! ]
Bifang was also startled, but not as exaggerated as the audience. He just recognized what kind of snake it was.
"It's a black-necked snake. It's not poisonous. This kind of snake is also found in the Magic City. It's a very common snake. It's large in size and moves very fast. However, the black-necked snake is more sensitive to environmental changes than other snakes. It likes warmth and hates cold. It hibernates for up to six months."
"It's getting very close to hibernation now, and it's very likely that this time it comes out to do its last job."
Bifang actually feels it's a pity. The black-necked snake is very nutritious, but it grows very slowly. The market price in many places can be as high as 100 to 120 yuan per catty, and even higher in some areas.
You can imagine how much people like it, so much so that they had to pass laws to stipulate that it cannot be captured at will, so that it would not become a protected animal.
【I played it, and was poisoned by Fang Shen. 】
[Black-necked snake: I will go back to hibernation after I finish this job]
This is the last vote, I swear.
[But Fang Shen really knows a lot. Every time I give him science lectures, I feel that he is so handsome.]
[Handsome plus one]
"You guys are poisonous."
Bifang didn't know whether to laugh or cry. How could this be considered as poisonous milk? He was just telling the truth.
But this lunch was definitely gone, so he had to go look for other prey.
