Are You Telling An Eight-Year-Old To Survive In The Wilderness? - Chapter 264

Chapter 264: River Again!

The next morning, Bell shook his head and sat up in the hammock.

He stretched and walked down the tree along the vines.

Now that his stats had increased, he could choose to jump down from it.

But to be safe, Bell decided to follow his previous routine and behave like before.

After all, if he did not control himself well, he might break a few bones.

With the principle that he would not die unless he courted death, Bell chose to follow the stable method.

There was no flood last night unlike what he had expected.

However, the rain still continued to fall.

At this moment, there was a layer of water about five centimeters deep accumulated on the ground.

Because the lucky draw yesterday was at night, Bell did not have time to adapt to the strength of his body. He was going to test and adapt to his strength now.

Although a large increase in attributes was a good thing, it also had some side effects.

One of them was that he lost perfect control of his body.

This was not a good thing. In the wilderness, when fighting with wild beasts, every minute and second had to be calculated accurately.

If he was not careful, he might suffer terrifying injuries.

Therefore, he had to have precise judgment.

Only after perfectly grasping his strength could he know how fast he could run, how high he could jump, and how strong his punches were.

What was the maximum force he could release? These were very important.

This determined the success rate of his hunt or escape.

After an hour, Bell finally figured out his attributes.

He already knew his approximate limits, but it would take some time for him to fully control his body.

This cycle could be long or short, but Bell felt that he should be able to complete this cycle in a few days.

Because he had drawn the Extraordinary Physique skill last night, after a night of recovery, the itch on the back of his neck was very obvious.

If nothing went wrong, the injury on the back of his neck would heal by tomorrow.

As for the bone fracture on the shoulder blade, it was a bone injury after all and could not recover so quickly.

The Extraordinary Physique could speed up his recovery to a certain extent, but it did not give instant restoration.

Bones needed to absorb the calcium and collagen in the human body to slowly recover from fractures.

The only thing his Extraordinary Physique could do was shorten his recovery time.

The most important thing was Bell’s replenishment of calcium and collagen.

If Bell did not replenish enough calcium and collagen, even the Extraordinary Physique would not be able to do anything.

He touched his stomach and felt that the gastric acid was already surging due to hunger.

Opening the live-stream, a large number of the audience instantly rushed in.

Looking at the camera in the live-stream, Bell smiled.

“Friends, we have been in the Amazon rainforest for five days.

We are getting closer and closer to civilization, but we have to be more vigilant.

Let’s set off again.”

Stepping on the puddles, Bell began to move in the direction he had set, which was Manaus city.

Along the way, the hunger in his stomach kept torturing him.

It reminded him to replenish his food as soon as possible.

Bell also wanted to find something to eat, but there was nothing edible in his surroundings.

The further he walked, the lower the terrain became.

At the same time, the water on the ground became deeper and deeper.

The ground was almost filled with water, and the rainforest had already become a swamp.

An hour later, the water in the rainforest had already reached Bell’s waist.

From the looks of it, the Amazon River should be not far away.

As the water level rose, the river water spread to both sides.

This was what caused this swamp.

Bell walked slowly, his nerves tense.

After all, no one knew what was hidden in this turbid water.

The water level began to rise. At this moment, Bell felt something swim past his legs.

With that touch, Bell was certain that it was definitely not wood, but a living creature. It was not small.

With this judgment, Bell did not dare to act rashly.

Bell quickly gestured for the audience to keep quiet and stood still.

He frowned and said, “Something seemed to have touched my leg just now. I can’t be sure what it is yet. I just hope it’s not an electric eel or a green anaconda.”

Bell did not want to experience the feeling of being electrocuted by the electric eel again.

Under normal circumstances, the electric eel would only release electric shocks when it was preyed on and sensed danger.

The reason why Bell stood still was to not provoke the creature in the water. He stood there for nearly ten minutes.

During this period, Bell did not feel anything touch his leg and heaved a sigh of relief.

He was relieved and continued moving forward.

From time to time, some fallen leaves or floating wood would brush past him.

After walking for about half an hour, the water level was almost at Bell’s chest.

This half an hour journey was very difficult.

It was not easy to walk in this rainforest.

Occasionally, some protruding roots or floating wood would block his path.

Now that his vision was blocked by the turbid river water, it was like feeling his way forward in the night.

Holding a tree, Bell frowned and said, “I think we should make a raft. If we continue like this, our speed will be too slow. Most importantly, it will be very dangerous. No one knows what is underwater.”

Not far ahead was the Amazon River.

It was clearly unrealistic to swim over like this.

But there was a problem now. It was too difficult to make a raft on this water.

Moreover, when he mentioned making the raft, Bell remembered his previous encounters.

The people in the live-stream smiled meaningfully when they heard that Bell was planning to build another raft.

“Hahaha, I admire Bell’s temper.”

“Come, let us witness Bell’s performance.”

“A black stain in ship building history, losing every time.”

“It hasn’t even begun, but I feel like the outcome is already decided.”

“I didn’t believe in metaphysics in the past, but after seeing Bell, I believed it again.”
