Survive in the Wilderness with Celebrities

Chapter 248 It sounds scary but tastes delicious (Subscribe please)
"That scream is so scary, what is that sound?" Liu Yan shrank her neck, many scenes from horror movies flashed through her mind, and she moved closer to Meng Chao.

"Yes, it sounds a bit like someone is calling. Is that some kind of bird? It's so eerie!" Although Huang Bo knew what kind of animal it was, he still felt uneasy when he heard the sound.

"This should be the cry of some kind of owl. Let's see if we can make a wooden bow so that we can go hunting tomorrow." Meng Chao said calmly.

"It sounds terrible, but it tastes delicious. Once the wooden bow is finished, we can go hunting."

Everyone still believed in Meng Chao's judgment, so they continued to weave hammocks.

"There are so many bugs. Let's put up the mosquito net." An Yifei opened her backpack and took out her personal mosquito net.

There are so many bugs in the Amazon that even if they sprayed mosquito repellent, countless bugs still came close.

At this moment, there were insects swarming around the camping light.

People with trypophobia will feel a tingling sensation on their scalp when they see it.

This mosquito net has a fiberglass tube on the top that can be stretched out when loosened.

There is also a hook, which can be used directly after hanging it at a suitable height, which is quite convenient.

After selecting a few wooden sticks that were three or four meters long, Meng Chao quickly asked everyone to set up the mosquito net.

In this way, everyone can work inside the mosquito net without worrying about being bitten by insects.

"That's great. Now we don't have to worry about bugs anymore." An Yifei touched the mosquito net and found that its mesh was very dense and even small bugs couldn't get in.

Even if the temperature drops to around 10 degrees at night, it won't be too cold.

There is also a rope at the bottom that can be used to close the net, completely protecting the person inside the mosquito net.

It can be said that this mosquito net is very practical and everyone is very satisfied with it.

Everyone took acai berries and ate them under their mosquito nets, without hearing those annoying insects anymore.

After eating until they were about 70% full, everyone continued to work.

They still have to sleep in the hammock tonight, as they don’t want to sleep on the ground and be scared.

As time passed, the backpack in Meng Chao's hands became more and more complete.

His hand speed is still very fast, because the material used is bark, which is much easier than using vines.

In about an hour, Meng Chao had finished weaving the backpack.

[Basic Weaving Proficiency +1]
After gaining proficiency, Meng Chao continued to pick out a few branches and prepared to weave a few baskets to hold food.

There are still some berry plants in the jungle, which are not suitable to be packed together and need to be packed separately.

Therefore, you can make a few more baskets to hold them.

An Yifei saw Meng Chao weaving something else after he had finished weaving the backpack, so she said, "What else do you need to weave? Leave it to me."

"We also need a few baskets to hold acai berries or other food." Meng Chao lifted the mosquito net and prepared to hand this job to An Yifei.

Because he still needs to make hunting bows, there is still a lot of work to do.

Meng Chao took the small tree that Huang Bo had chopped down before, which was suspected to be ironwood, and after cutting it to a suitable length, he split it in half.

"It is indeed very hard. It must be ironwood."

His craftsmanship is pretty good, after all, he has basic woodworking skills.

He split the wooden stick into two even pieces, then he picked up one piece, stepped on the bottom and bent it.

Once you let go, it bounces back quickly and with great force.

After seeing this situation, Meng Chao couldn't help but smile.

"Yes, it is also very tough and suitable for making wooden bows."

With the experience from last time, Meng Chao was more adept at shaving this time.

Half an hour later, Meng Chao had finished carving the first wooden bow and it was ready for use as long as it tied the bowstring.

[Basic Woodworking Proficiency +1]
After successfully gaining some proficiency, Meng Chao began to carve the second wooden bow. Others also gradually prepared their hammocks, crawled out of the mosquito net and gathered around the campfire.

The temperature here is high and insects dare not approach easily.

Those who are willing to get closer usually jump into the fire.

They turned over the firewood around so that it could be baked more evenly.

If you want to make a fire successfully tomorrow night, you will still need these dry firewood.

After carving two wooden bows, the next step is to twist the bowstrings.

Meng Chao planned to try to use this bark to make a bowstring to see if it was strong enough.

If that is not enough, we need to find another way.

However, he did not start twisting the rope immediately, but instead crawled out of the mosquito net.

Those hammocks needed to be tied up, and Meng Chao was worried that they wouldn't be able to tie them up properly, so he had to do it himself.

"Show me the hammock you made and check if it's OK. If it's OK, you can tie it up right away."

After hearing what Meng Chao said, everyone took out their hammocks and handed them to Meng Chao.

Meng Chao checked one by one. Although everyone's craftsmanship varied, no mistakes were made.

Then, Meng Chao began to teach everyone how to tie a hammock.

You need to first use a machete to cut a circle on the trunk of the bark peeling tree at a suitable height to create a groove to increase resistance.

Otherwise, the hammocks would slide down once they were tied up.

After tying up one hammock, the others learned how to do it.

The lowest position of the hammock is one meter from the ground, only this way it is high enough.

If it's too low, some snakes can bite people by standing up.

There are too many poisonous snakes in the Amazon, and Meng Chao feels that he needs to be on guard.

Now they don’t have night vision goggles, so they can only rely on the naked eyes of the watchmen to observe the situation at night, and there is a possibility of being confused.

The skin of many snakes is deceptive and looks similar to the surrounding environment, making them not easy to spot.

Unlike night vision goggles, which rely on temperature for identification.

Meng Chao picked a hammock and lay down on it to feel it.

"Not bad, very comfortable." Meng Chao was very satisfied with this hammock.

[No way, you can even carry more than 200 kilograms? ]

[This bark is indeed strong enough, beyond my expectation. ]

[It looks quite comfortable. With this hammock, they don’t need to worry about where to sleep anymore. ]

[This is so comfortable. The people in the other two groups must be jealous.]

[No comparison, no harm. It’s still fun to hang out with Brother Chao. ]

After getting down from the hammock, Meng Chao went back into his mosquito net.

While he was twisting the rope, Zhang Jin began to select suitable branches to make arrow shafts.

You can't have a bow without arrows. Meng Chao can't do everything by himself. How can he attract fans and improve his status if he does that?
If my fans don’t increase, wouldn’t all the hard work of surviving in the wilderness be in vain?
He would not allow such a thing.

Not only Zhang Jin thought so, but others did too.

Liu Yan went straight into An Yifei's tent, ready to learn from her how to weave small baskets.
