Are You Telling An Eight-Year-Old To Survive In The Wilderness? - Chapter 142
Chapter 142: Macadamia
The audience in the live-stream became nervous.
The seemingly harmless snake was actually so venomous.
Knowing that this snake was the second most venomous snake in the world, everyone was fearful.
At the same time, they were worried for Bell.
On the screen, Bell stood still and did not dare to move.
He was afraid of agitating this guy.
“Eastern brown snake. Ranked second in terms of toxic snakes in the world, second only to the inland taipan snakes.
This kind of venomous snake is widely distributed in various regions. Because of this, the number of people who have died from the venom of eastern brown snakes is the highest. ”
“This eastern brown snake in front of us has not even fully grown.
It can grow up to nearly three meters.
…
At the same time, it is also a natural enemy of the inland taipan.
Smaller taipan snakes are usually unable to escape the fate of being eaten when they encounter eastern brown snakes.
We have to be careful not to provoke it.
Typically, snakes will attack humans only when they are agitated or frightened.
When they confirm that you are not a danger, they will naturally choose to leave.”
Bell carefully retreated.
His actions were as slow as possible, not making too much noise.
Among the snakes in the entire Australian continent, the overlord position of the eastern brown snake was unquestionable.
Not only did it have a body that could crush other snakes, but it also had lethal venom.
In fact, they even ate other snakes.
Very few creatures had the strength to provoke this dangerous guy.
As Bell kept retreating, the eastern brown snake seemed to feel that the danger was gradually resolved. It stopped looking at Bell and entered the grass again.
The dangerous snake retreated, and Bell couldn’t help but sigh in relief.
Seeing that the danger was over, the audience also heaved a sigh of relief.
“F*ck, I was really shocked.”
“The program almost ended early.”
“I think that the venomous snake was more flustered.”
“Fortunately, it ran fast; otherwise, Bell would have had an extra meal tonight.”
“Eastern brown snake: Running after showing off. How exciting.”
In the live-stream, various comments kept floating past.
However, Bell did not let down his guard because of the teasing of the people in the live-stream.
The eastern brown snake had appeared in this area.
In other words, he had arrived at the territory of these venomous snakes and beasts.
He had to focus.
Since there was one, another might appear too.
Eastern brown snakes were not small, and their fangs were very large.
When they bite, their fangs would stab into the internal parts of the muscle tissue. Even with serum, if it was not injected in a short time, the person would be in great danger.
This was also the reason why the mortality rate of their bites was so high.
Although the mortality rate of snake bites was directly related to their toxicity, it was not the whole reason.
For example, although the inland taipan snake was recognized as the most venomous snake in the world, it was small in size and had short fangs.
Even if the prey was bitten, there would not be much venom released. Fatal symptoms would only show after 15 to 30 minutes.
When the danger to humans was compared, the king cobra was the greatest threat.
In terms of toxicity, the king cobra was far less venomous than inland taipan.
But the main point was that the king cobra was a lot bigger and had longer fangs.
Every time it bit its prey, the king cobra could inject over 500 milligrams of venom into its prey. This venom was enough to kill a person within 5 minutes.
It was also because of this that humans were more familiar with the name of king cobra because its danger to humans was the greatest among all the snakes.
He picked up a wooden stick and trimmed it with a dagger.
He used the stick to push aside the grass before moving forward.
After all, what had happened earlier had given him a wake-up call.
Three meters was enough for that snake to attack.
Fortunately, after encountering the eastern brown snake, Bell did not encounter other venomous snakes.
His top priority now was to cool his body.
The best way was to find a body of water.
Whether it was a stream or a pool, it could restore his body temperature to normal.
Suddenly, Bell’s eyes lit up.
Not far in front of him was a fruit tree that was not tall.
Bell quickly walked forward.
The tree was less than four meters tall.
There were many thumb-sized fruits on the tree. Bell took one and showed it to the camera.
“Look what I found.
This is a macadamia which belongs to the flowering plant family Proteaceae.
Macadamia nuts are different from other fruits. Its fruits are rich in oil and proteins.
Most importantly, these things don’t spoil easily.
“Since we’ve discovered it, we naturally can’t miss it. We have to pick as much as possible to use as our food for the next few days.”
Bell did not waste any time. He climbed up the tree trunk. The tree was not tall, so he climbed it in a few steps.
Sitting on a thick tree branch, Bell reached out and plucked a macadamia nut.
These nuts were slightly larger than the longan, and their skin was a common green.
After cutting the brown shell open with the dagger, the exposed white part was the edible fruit.
Bell ate the fruit, but it was not as sweet as ordinary fruits.
In comparison, this thing was a little oily.
“I think it might be because these nuts are not completely ripe, so there is no special taste, but the bite just now felt like I had bitten a blob of flour soaked in oil.
Fortunately, it can provide me with enough proteins.
Otherwise, I really don’t want to eat this. ”
Bell explained carefully to the audience in the live-stream.
However, just as he was about to continue plucking the fruits, a few comments in the live-stream attracted Bell’s attention.
“Host, run quickly. There’s a snake above your head.”
“Dodge, it’s dangerous!”
Seeing these comments, Bell realized that something was wrong.
He turned his head carefully and looked out of the corner of his eye.
There was really a meter-long snake coiled less than a meter above his head.
