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

Chapter 146: Rainy Night

“Don’t think that I’m exaggerating. These eastern brown snakes are very irascible. Even if there is no danger, they can still attack you.”

Our luck was pretty good earlier, but we have to stay far away from the ground in this area. I don’t want to be bitten by these guys while sleeping. ”

As time passed, the sky began to darken. The forest would probably turn dark in less than half an hour, and it would be difficult to see properly with naked eyes.

Bell was pressed for time and did not have much time to find a suitable shelter. He could only go for a thick eucalyptus tree.

“I was planning to build a shelter, but time is not on my side.

Fortunately, this tree is not bad. It is lush and can block the rain and wind. It will have to do for the night.

In such a tropical rainforest, when there is no light source at night, especially when it is raining, you should not walk at night.

Because once you sleep and fall into the flood, there will really be no hope. ”

The tree was quite thick.

However, after being drenched by the rain, it was quite slippery. Bell tried a few times but failed to climb it.

Bell frowned and said, “This tree trunk is too slippery. There is nothing to use as leverage. We have to think of another way. I don’t want to sleep on the ground.”

After a moment of thought, Bell’s eyes suddenly lit up. He found a tree branch on the ground and cut it with his dagger.

After a while, the tree branch was cut into seven wooden sticks that were about ten centimeters long.

......

He used the dagger to sharpen the wooden sticks.

Then, he picked up a stone.

Bell nailed the sharp wooden sticks to the tree trunks like nails.

After doing all this, he nodded in satisfaction.

“That’s right. Fortunately, I thought of a way.

Because the eucalyptus trees have fast growth, it is not as dense as other trees. Most of the interior is filled with water, and the wood is delicate. It is similar to the baobab trees.

Therefore, we can nail the trunk with some hard wooden sticks, and we will have a place to stay.”

Leaning against the tree, Bell heaved a sigh of relief.

He took out the brown tree snake he had killed and skinned it. He took out its innards, but had no way to start a fire.

It was not realistic to start a fire out of thin air in this rain. He could only eat it raw.

Bell said while chewing, “Tonight, we have to make do with this tree. Fortunately, this tree is still quite lush. It can block the rain and prevent us from getting wet.”

“The effect is not that good, but it’s better than nothing.”

Bell waved the snake meat in front of the camera.

The slippery snake corpse and the blood were really terrifying.

“This snake is quite small, so its bones are not as sharp and hard as the large snake’s. It can be chewed directly, but the taste is indescribable.”

The brown tree snake in Bell’s hand was a meter long, but it was quite thin.

After removing the skin and internal organs, the flesh was about the width of a thumb.

In just a short while, Bell finished the entire snake.

He ate fast because it tasted really bad, but in order to replenish his nutrition, he had to ignore the taste and eat the snake.

Bell wiped the rain from his face and smiled at the camera.

“Alright, everyone, today’s stream ends here. I hope that when I wake up tomorrow, this rain will have stopped.”

Because he could not move at night, Bell did not plan to continue wasting time.

Bell hung his backpack on a branch and tied it to his arm to hold him to the tree.

He had to do this.

Humans would inevitably move when sleeping.

Although this tree trunk looked relatively thick, if he turned around, he would fall down. If he was unlucky and broke his bones, it would be difficult to continue the recording.

After doing that, Bell placed his jacket above his head like a rain shed.

The damp feeling made him feel very uncomfortable.

Although he wanted to sleep, he could not do so for a while. He could only sigh and close his eyes to conserve his energy.

Only after a long while did he fall asleep.

The birds in the tropical rainforest were clearly more lively than other places.

He took off his jacket and wondered when the rain had stopped yesterday.

Few rays of sunlight shone through the lush leaves, making the scene look quite refreshing.

Shaking his head, Bell forced himself to focus and looked at the live-stream.

Because Bell did not do anything at night, and the screen was dark, the number of people in the live-stream decreased greatly.

He tried to get up and felt a numbing sensation from his back.

It made sense. It would be strange if he was not numb after sleeping in such a weird position.

Seeing Bell move, the audience in the live-stream quickly surged in large numbers.

Seeing that these people were so well-informed and came on time, he smiled.

“Alright, everyone, good morning. I had a not too relaxing sleep.

To be honest, although I ended the broadcast early, my sleep time was quite short.

Fortunately, we should be able to walk out of this huge divide soon. As long as we leave this place, everything will be fine.”

Bell rummaged in his bag for a while and took out some macadamia nuts.

Most of these nuts had spoiled due to the water. Fortunately, some were still in good condition.

After eating all the remaining food, Bell stood up.

“Alright, everyone, breakfast is settled. Let’s hurry up and set off. I don’t want to stay here a minute longer.”

With that, Bell began to walk out of the tropical rainforest.

The number of people in the live-stream gradually increased.

The large number of audience made the atmosphere in the live-stream liven up.
