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

Chapter 243



Chapter 243: Climbing, Amazon River

The tree beside the tree that Bell had chosen was not that tall.

It was not easy to climb either.

But Bell looked at the tree and smiled in satisfaction.

Because there were many vines on the straight tree trunk that reached the top of the tree.

This was simply the best ladder.

Bell quickly walked forward and pulled apart the branches and leaves, looking at the vines that were as thick as an arm.

“Haha, these vines really chose a great place to grow.

We just have to climb up these vines and jump onto that tree.

It will be much easier after the first ten meters. ”

The vines were very thick and were firmly attached to the tree.

Bell shook it hard and realized that he could not move it.

He weighed less than 50 kilograms.

It seemed like these vines were indeed tough.

......

He climbed up the vine.

Because his shoulders were injured, Bell did not dare to use too much strength. He relied on the strength of his arms and the muscles of his legs to push himself up bit by bit.

Standing on the branch, Bell heaved a sigh of relief.

As long as he passed the first part, the rest would be much easier.

There were many places to grab in this dense tree.

Bell was like an agile monkey, easily jumping onto the 50-meter-tall tree.

Then, he climbed another ten minutes and arrived near the top of the tree.

Looking around, Bell saw mostly lush trees.

After all, he was in a tropical rainforest. It was normal to have many trees.

In the green forest, a winding river separated the green forests like a ribbon.

It was the Amazon River.

Bell looked up at the sun and determined his location.

Standing on the tree, he calculated in his heart and pointed to the southeast.

“That should be Manaus City.

It should be about 130 kilometers away from us.

If we use the river, it should only take two days to return to the civilized world.

But now that the Amazon rainforest is in the rainy season, the water level of the Amazon River is rising, and there is the possibility of a flood at any time.

We can’t take this risk.”

“The only way now is to cross the tropical rainforest.

In that case, our journey will be slower.

However, compared to the flood and terrifying monsters in the Amazon River, I’m still more willing to travel in the rainforest. ”

Then, Bell pointed behind him.

“I can’t go in that direction again, or I will just enter deeper in the Amazon rainforest.

In the north is Guiana Highlands in the North.

The Andes is in the West.

Therefore, I have to return to Manaus from here. ”

Although he had passed through the forest, Bell still had to cross the river many times.

Because the Amazon River was not a straight line, but a winding river in the tropical rainforest, crossing it was inevitable.

After confirming the route, Bell walked down from the tree.

Compared to climbing the tree, the speed of going down was much faster.

Bell did not jump down from the tree. Instead, he grabbed a smooth vine and slid down from the tree.

Sliding down from a ten-meter-tall tree was a completely different experience from jumping down from a tree.

The friction between his body and the tree branches could offset this acceleration.

It was like jumping down from a height of three to four meters.

In addition, the fallen leaves on the ground cushioned the impact of the fall.

Bell shook his hand and got up from the ground. He smiled and said, “It feels like I’m sliding down the stairs. If only I had a pair of gloves.”

“Alright, we have to hurry. Every day we stay here is another danger.”

Bell answered the questions for the audience in the live-stream.

“Many friends know about the Amazon rainforest from the movies.

But I want to tell everyone here that the knowledge from movies is not completely correct.

For example, piranhas. In the movies, when a person falls into the water, the piranhas will bite and eat them until only their bones are left.

But under normal circumstances, when there is enough food, the piranhas will not attack humans. Moreover, the number of piranhas in a group is usually 30 to 50.

Piranhas are very timid. In their infancy, they feed on aquatic plants. ”

Bell climbed over a fallen tree and continued, “They only attack humans when food is scarce.

The horror of piranhas in reality is far inferior to what they are portrayed in movies.

It is impossible for just 30 or so piranhas to eat a person in a few seconds.

In fact, there has been no death caused by piranhas attacking humans. ”

In the movie, some animals’ ferocity would be exaggerated to create the movie atmosphere and attract the viewers.

This made many people have the wrong knowledge of them.

Even the most ferocious piranhas could not kill a person in a minute. At most, they would suffer some flesh wounds.

When encountering these fish in the wild, the terrifying thing was that once you were bitten, you might be infected.

The people in the live-stream also reacted.

After so many live broadcasts, they were convinced by Bell’s knowledge.

So far, there had been no mistakes in his knowledge.

At this moment, the light in the forest suddenly dimmed.

Bell looked up and saw that the dark clouds had already enveloped him.

The sky was clear one second, but the next second, it was covered in dark clouds.

Before long, the rain poured down through the leaves.

Bell covered his head with his waterproof backpack to prevent his wound from being wet by the rain again.

The sky gradually darkened, and Bell looked around for a suitable place to build a shelter.

Bell’s luck today was indeed good. Perhaps it was because of the two butterflies that his luck changed.

Soon, Bell found a tree hole.

It was a huge banyan tree with thick branches. The roots underground rose from the ground and formed a strange cave.

Bell quickly entered the tree hole to avoid the rain.

The space inside was very large, and it could be seen as a natural shelter.

There was some moss and some common plants in the tree hole.

Bell looked around and smiled. “This is a good shelter.

However, we can’t rest here. We have to build a shelter above ground.

I’m not the only guest in this tree hole. There are also many terrifying little things. ”
