Chapter 129: Chapter 15: Preview

After lighting the fire, Chen Wen did not immediately rest.

He first dug a shallow firebreak around the campfire to prepare for the establishment of the camp.

Then Chen Wen used a shovel and the sand he had dug out to clear a space for himself to rest.

Once these tasks were completed.

Chen Wen took out his backpack and began to eat the fruits he gathered today.

The mesquite fruits were placed around the campfire to roast.

The cactus fruits were eaten directly.

The giant column cactus fruit is sweet, but not very juicy.

The prickly pear cactus fruit is somewhat sour, but rich in juice.

Chen Wen devoured about a dozen cactus fruits.

Then he ate the roasted mesquite fruit.

The roasted mesquite fruit tastes a bit like roasted nuts, with much less of that earthy odor.

It’s quite enjoyable to eat.

After eating halfway, Chen Wen lay by the campfire, using his backpack as a pillow.

With no shelter, he had no choice but to endure the night with the sky as his blanket and the ground as his bed.

...

As Chen Wen entered his dreams.

On Twitter, the official account of the Desert Death Battle show uploaded a video.

The title of the video was: Preview—”Wilderness Deathmatch New Season: Sonora Desert” and Trash Talk Segment.

The beginning of the video was shot with an impressive atmosphere.

The crew used time-lapse photography to capture a day in the life of a giant column cactus.

After quickly watching the day of the giant column, the screen showed the representative animals of the desert.

Cactus family: Giant column, prickly pear, teddy bear, saguaro...

Bird family: Yellow-headed goldfinch, Cooper’s hawk, elf owl, white-winged dove...

And various reptiles and insects: Mexican golden-backed tarantula, Gila monster, western diamondback rattlesnake...

Finally, an array of predators: Coyotes, North American skunks, bobcats, western hog-nosed skunks...

If Chen Wen saw this, he would definitely reach out and tell the crew: Send me a menu!

As various representative flora and fauna of the Sonora Desert flashed by.

A line of red letters appeared: Who can survive in this wilderness that belongs to them?

This question seemed to be directed at both the audience and the upcoming contestants.

Soon, Gina’s flamboyant, laughing face occupied the entire screen.

After a brief personal introduction, a survival video montage of Gina played.

It’s evident that Gina, while riding the line, has some notable skills.

In the video, Gina stabbed a wild boar to death with a knife, her face filled with excitement.

An untamed scene, full of impact!

Next was Adam.

As one of the show’s stars, Adam is different from Gina.

He showcases another style—steady!

Very steady!

Adam hunts only using traps!

As the crew describes: Adam’s traps are like works of art!

After that was Gaston, a foreign survivalist with substantial popularity.

His style leans towards dramatic survival, adept at using cameras to convey a sense of story.

He even shot in a way that created a horror film atmosphere.

Then came Black Charlie.

He had many scenes but none were particularly striking.

Just common survival footage.

As for Roland.

Because he had never participated in a survival challenge, Roland’s video showed his daily life.

Chen Wen, recommended by the Huaxia Exploration Association and the first Asian to participate in ”Wilderness Deathmatch,” was presented sixth.

His survival footage was incredibly shocking to the viewers.

In the footage, Chen Wen was holding a long spear.

And before him was a prehistoric behemoth—a saltwater crocodile!

A smile seemed to tug at Chen Wen’s lips as he thrust the spear.

The saltwater crocodile struggled fiercely, while Chen Wen swiftly retreated.

The stark contrast between the gigantic saltwater crocodile and the small Chen Wen was striking.

The visual impact was powerful!

Quite a few foreigners couldn’t help but exclaim when they saw this scene.

The contestant introductions concluded.

Then came the trash talk segment.

Gina was confrontational, Adam lacked aggression, Charlie was of poor quality...

It seemed like the usual routine, leaving many tired of watching.

But when it came to Chen Wen.

A new form of trash talk is unfolding before everyone’s eyes—sarcastic undertone!

Whether it’s a sarcastic comment about Gina’s flaws, a double entendre aimed at Char, or even disdain towards Gaston and all the contestants.

It’s really opening the eyes of these foreigners!

Especially that line: I’ve been studying the opponents in Wilderness Deathmatch.

It made quite a few people exclaim in excitement!

Comments started pouring in below shortly.

[Whoa, this is going to be great to watch!]

[Amazing oriental person! Is this the first time we have an oriental contestant?]

[Chen Wen? Damn! How did this guy end up abroad?]

[Bush Gate? Since when did you join this show? You didn’t tell anyone!]

[This show... Is it watchable in Huaxia? Why do the rules seem so bloody?]

[Let’s watch the first episode of this season first. If it’s good, I’ll carry it back and handle the subtitle translation.]

[Hero!]

...

The preview released by the show team had great effects.

Besides attracting die-hard fans, it also drew a large number of domestic viewers.

But these external matters have nothing to do with Chen Wen.

The first night of survival was particularly hard to endure.

Aside from the hard ground, the feeling of being exposed in the wilderness was quite uncomfortable for the contestants.

However, under the protection of the campfire, the contestants made it through the first night relatively safely.

When Chen Wen woke up, it was just dawn.

He glanced around; the morning desert was not peaceful.

Just looking at the place he was at, the top of the Giant Saguaro Cactus hosted quite a few birds.

They were the tenants of the cactus, but they didn’t pay rent and were the kind of destructive pests that ruin the cactus.

Chen Wen watched for a while and recognized the birds living at the top of this cactus.

Yellow Clapper Woodpecker.

A rather awkward name, but one that left a deep impression on Chen Wen.

Because they were woodpeckers.

And loved building nests on Giant Saguaro Cacti.

Simultaneously, many would mistake them for a variant of the Northern Clapper Woodpecker.

In reality, they are an independent species.

And as Chen Wen was reading related information, he found a profound connection between these birds and the Giant Saguaro Cactus.

After they pecked out their nest on the cactus.

The cactus would secrete a resin-like liquid to woodify the wound.

It’s as if building a waterproof layer for the nest wall.

This is equivalent to a high-end house; among birds, it’s somewhat like a small villa.

But the Yellow Clapper Woodpecker seems unsatisfied with such nests.

Every year, they would build new nests, but old nests wouldn’t be abandoned.

Instead, they become fine residences for other birds.

Like Elf Owls, Flycatchers, Mourning Doves, etc.

This bird is very unique, and its call is annoyingly loud and unpleasant.

Just like its close relative, the Northern Clapper Woodpecker, it has a laugh similar to human laughter.

Chen Wen watched for a while and got some ideas about the Yellow Clapper Woodpecker.

This creature is huntable.

Even though the United States’ Bird Protection Act mentions protecting the Yellow Clapper Woodpecker’s wild populations, hardly any actual measures are taken.

Moreover, these little pests are highly annoying, and their populations in Mexico are extremely stable and prosperous.

In many places, they aren’t even minimally protected.

Arizona, for instance, is like this.

So, Chen Wen had plans to hunt them.

These birds are active during the day, most energetic at dawn and dusk; if he acts by night.

He might be able to get them.

But the prerequisite is overcoming the tall Giant Saguaro Cactus.

Let’s gather some key items before dealing with it!

Chen Wen shook his head, started to make the fire burn brighter, and planned for today’s activities.

Currently, the most urgent need is to build a shelter.

So today’s primary task is to collect materials for building the shelter.

Dry wood, lots of plant branches and leaves, all need to be collected by him personally.

Additionally, water is also something Chen Wen is concerned about.

Although his need for water has drastically decreased, fresh water still needs to be sourced.

On one hand, it can mask his anomaly.

After all, how can any normal person sweat every day but not drink water, still being lively and energetic?

On the other hand, water in the desert is also a gathering place for animals.

If he could set traps around the water source, it would definitely provide him with key items and fresh meat!
