Are You Telling An Eight-Year-Old To Survive In The Wilderness? - Chapter 228
Chapter 228: Catfish
The rain continued for two hours before gradually stopping.
However, the dark clouds in the sky did not dissipate. It seemed like it might rain again.
After the rain, the smell of decay in the forest became stronger.
Bell knew that these smells were mainly from the dead leaves and trees on the ground.
“In the Amazon rainforest, food is easier to find.”
Bell had already walked to a banana tree.
However, Bell did not get too close. Instead, he maintained a distance of about a meter from the banana tree.
“Of course, if you want to obtain food, you need to have some tricks.
Because there are also many who are looking for food like you. ”
Bell adjusted the camera and aimed at a tender green leaf on the banana tree. There was a small brown spider lying on it.
“Do you see this? These are armed spiders. Their toxicity is comparable to the Sydney funnel-web spider.
They have not been ranked yet.
However, I don’t care about this, because no matter what, it won’t feel good to be bitten by them.
If the bite is not treated in time, it can be fatal. ”
Bell picked up two dead branches from the ground and carefully approached the armed spider.
As Bell approached, the armed spider seemed to sense danger.
However, it was still a step slower than Bell.
Bell was quick. The branch shook and accurately hit the armed spider in the middle, preventing it from moving.
Bell brought the spider to the camera.
“Look, this guy is quite ugly.
Moreover, they have another name, banana spiders.
Because these spiders like to stay on banana trees.
Remember, don’t take any chances.
Armed spider is one of the few spiders that take the initiative to attack. As long as you are close enough, they will attack regardless of whether you are a threat or not.
There was once an Englishman who bought some bananas. While tasting them, an armed spider jumped out of the banana and bit him hard.
Although the treatment saved his life in time, he permanently lost his sexual ability. ”
Hearing this, everyone in the live-stream was shocked, especially the male audience.
“F*ck, I will quickly check the bananas I just bought!”
“This thing sounds even more terrifying than the vandellia!”
“Why do the creatures of the Amazon rainforest specialize in attacking the lower parts?”
“Permanently? F*ck, I would rather fight the green anaconda than face such a spider.”
“I choose death.”
“After watching Bell’s live broadcast, I realized how safe my home is.”
“Bell, Bell, can this thing be eaten?”
Bell was holding the armed spider with the tree branch. He looked at it and stabbed it to death before throwing the tree branch aside.
“I saw an audience ask if this thing can be eaten.
To be precise, it can be eaten, but it will definitely taste disgusting.
We have other food, so we won’t eat this. I don’t have any masochistic tendencies.”
Hearing Bell’s words, the audience in the live-stream immediately understood that Bell’s conditions now were quite good.
Some of the audience who liked to seek novelty were slightly disappointed.
After killing the armed spider, Bell did not continue to approach the banana tree.
Armed spiders liked to be in groups. If there was one, there would definitely be a second and third.
In order to ensure his safety, it was better to look at other places for food.
As Bell continued forward, the trees became less dense.
Soon, a large swamp appeared before Bell.
The swamps that were not common in other places were very common in the Amazon rainforest.
Because of the abundant rain, this rainforest was soaked in rain for most of the year. The water below the ground was already saturated.
Under this environment, swamp puddles would form here and there.
Looking at the swamp in front of him, Bell sized it up warily.
This was a paradise for black caiman crocodiles and green anacondas.
After confirming that there were no such things, Bell carefully approached the swamp.
“We have to be careful in such a place.
Green anacondas and black caiman both like to hide in swamps and wait for prey.
Especially the black caiman. They wait till the prey is close enough before jumping out of the swamp. They are patient hunters.
They wait till they can get the prey in one strike.
Their attack range is two meters.
Fortunately, from my observation, these dangerous creatures are not in this swamp. ”
At this moment, Bell had already walked to the edge of the swamp and bent down.
“However, encountering such a swamp might not be a bad thing, because other than those dangerous things, there is also a lot of food here.
For example, crabs, frogs, and catfish.”
Bell groped carefully in the water.
His eyes suddenly lit up. His hands touched something, and he felt a slippery feeling in his palms. It was either fish or a snake.
Bell immediately looked surprised.
His hands were not slow as he grabbed at the creature in the water.
The audience in the live-stream was also interested.
They wanted to see what Bell had caught.
Because the water in the swamp was very turbid, it was impossible to see what was below.
It was a little like opening a mystery box.
People were afraid of the unknown, but they were also curious.
The turbid water made it difficult to see the situation inside. Moreover, the Amazon forest was filled with dangerous creatures.
Who knew if there was not a green anaconda inside.
According to his experience, Bell felt that it should be a catfish, and it was not small.
There was a layer of slime on the surface of the catfish, and it was very slippery.
Bell was not able to grab it tightly.
The catfish also sensed the danger and struggled crazily.
Immediately, the swamp became even more turbid, and water splashed everywhere.
The power displayed by fish in the water and on land was definitely worlds apart.
They could even release strength several times greater than their bodies in the water.
Of course, the exact amount depended on the species of the fish.
However, one thing was certain. An omnivorous fish like the catfish was definitely much stronger than herbivorous fish.
