Chapter 10: Confronting Reality

A distance of over one hundred meters is not considered long

... ...

This is because the methods of attack used by humans differ from those of animals. We primarily rely on blunt force strikes, such as punches, kicks, knees, and elbows, or grappling techniques, which are based on strength. In contrast, wild animals possess sharp claws and teeth, which means they are essentially equipped with weapons when they engage in combat compared to humans

As expected, Wang Kui picked up a piece of shale and struck it against the bluestone slab, causing a large chunk to break off. "Try to select larger pieces with high density and great hardness. This piece of flint is of the highest quality. Watch me as I carefully polish it!"

The audience initially thought he intended to use it as a pillow for sleeping

With the torchlight illuminating the way, Wang Kui quickly arrived at the edge of the stream

The sound of the carotid artery's blood flow murmured in his ears, buzzing incessantly, indicating that his sympathetic nervous system was continuously releasing catecholamines, causing his heart rate to rise and his blood vessels to dilate

Return to the campsite

He rekindled the fire with a torch and surrounded the fire pit with a circle of stones collected from the riverbank

Wang Kui retracted his sly smile and waved his hand: "I was just joking, I do not recommend that untrained individuals casually go into the wild to look for wolves"

I just laughed; don't say what you can kill. I would be impressed if any of you had the courage to spend a night alone in the wilderness!

I will say whatever I want. Although humans are at the top of the food chain in nature, their combat capability is relatively limited in the wild without tools. Taking medium to small carnivorous animals as examples: wolves, coyotes, and even baboons, it is quite difficult for an ordinary person to take them down in a one-on-one situation

Hahaha! Lao Kui is so funny!

The warriors are right, with a keyboard in hand, don't even mention lions and tigers, slaying dragons from a distance is merely a trivial matter for you!

Goodness, this has me completely engrossed, I haven't been this focused even during final exams

In this way, even if there is wind in the forest, it is not easy to scatter the firewood, which maintains the stability of the campfire while also preventing the risk of accidental fires during the night when one is asleep

It is hard to imagine

This hand of counter-spraying has reached me! Yes, if you are unconvinced, go and experience it in reality!

A swirling cool breeze swept across Wang Kui's nape, carrying a chill that traveled from his head all the way down to his tailbone, pinning him in place!

This type of stone is extremely hard and produces sparks when struck with iron tools, making it commonly used for starting fires. However, it possesses another characteristic: when broken, it creates sharp, shell-like edges that rival the blade of a knife

If the host is not capable, call the police! Safety is paramount

Hoo ... ...

Wang Kui let out a breath of agitation, twisting his stiff neck twice with a "ka ka" sound

Because there is a backpack

Ah, this ... ...

Wolf

Crafting a stone knife in the wild requires great care; one must not use just any stone. For instance, stones that are layered, similar to shale, are unsuitable. A gentle strike will cause them to flake off in layers, making it difficult to hold them together securely

Wang Kuizui said this, but the audience still could not see what was so remarkable about this black, flat stone.

Return to one's senses

Have you heard of the trashy streamer, Wu Song fighting the tiger, and Xiang Yu lifting the cauldron? The strength of a person is beyond your imagination

The corners of his eyes lowered, and a hint of ruthlessness flashed across his half-closed pupils as he said: "From the sound, it should be the mountain peak we passed when we came here, which is quite far from me. You need not worry, go to the creek first!"

Hearing the sound of water flowing and tinkling finally eased everyone's tension, as the moonlight mingled with the firelight, creating a shimmering array of colors on the dark water's surface, reminiscent of fish scales.

My goodness! There are really wolves in this mountain!

Moreover, there are psychological factors involved. When a person fights another person, you certainly do not feel afraid. But when you lock eyes with a wolf or a leopard, are you really not the least bit intimidated? If you still do not believe me and think I am weak, then there is no need to waste time arguing online. If you are unconvinced, come to the wilderness and confront a real wolf in reality; you will see whether it attacks you or not!

It is not useless; it is very useful! Whether it is for killing dogs or for defending against the wild wolf from earlier, I need a weapon to keep by my side

But in reality, it is used as a workbench

Wang Kui brought back quite a few stones, among which the most significant were a piece of flint and a large, round stone resembling a stone pillow.

Everyone thought he was just joking when he said he came to collect stones, that he must have taken the risk to come for something more important, yet it turned out he was only picking up a few useless stones

Due to several waves of promotional banners for gifts, a considerable number of newcomers were attracted. Upon hearing these few sentences, the new and old viewers in the live broadcast room immediately began to argue with each other

He inserted the torch into a crevice in the nearby rocks and began to scan the surroundings with his eyes

Followed! Followed! The host's serious voice is so magnetic!

Furthermore, due to the differences in physical structure, the resilience, agility, and reaction of wild beasts far exceed those of humans. This is akin to a knife-wielding assassin facing an unarmed warrior. We may win, but it is likely that we will sustain some injuries. Even those who have undergone professional combat training can only hunt wild beasts of a relatively small size unarmed, at most up to the level of a cheetah.

At that moment, a piece of stone with a very strong reflection suddenly diverted his attention

On the screen of the smart watch, rows of contentious comments flashed by

Isn't what the host said a bit too timid? With a wolf's size of over 1 meter, if it dares to bite me, I can just kick it and it won't survive!

One must maintain a positive energy and a desire to survive, after all, the supervisors are always monitoring.

Seventeen cards, you can send me a plane for the broadcaster × 2! — Yes, Lao Kui, jokes aside, this is after all in the mountains. We will give you more gifts, so don't resist just for the sake of the show, or you might get hurt in the end

He joyfully leaned in, picked up a stone, and showcased it in front of the camera: "We have found our 'strongest weapon'! This is flint, which you all should understand, commonly known as a firestone. It is a type of common siliceous rock, often found in volcanic rocks and limestone, and can also be easily discovered by the riverside. This is also the reason why I came here"

Even a fool can hear that the roar from deep in the mountains is that of a wolf

Wang Kui put down the stone in his hand and couldn't help but laugh: "Stop arguing, actually what I said was quite objective. Fighting a wild beast is really not that easy. Even if one has received combat training, it is aimed at humans, and wild beasts will not fight according to the rules of the ring."

Please pay close attention to safety

Wang Kui set the recorder aside and took the opportunity to explain a few things to the audience while selecting stones

Is it really to collect stones?

Old Kui is really bold; as a viewer of the live broadcast, I didn't even dare to breathe, almost suffocating!

The tension of an ordinary person and the excitement of an old hunter unexpectedly intertwined in his mind
