Chapter 143: Water Source
Seeing the appearance of the snake, Bell heaved a sigh of relief.
Bell stood up and quickly grabbed the snake.
This snake also wrapped its body around Bell’s arm. Unfortunately, it was useless.
Bell smiled as he showed the snake to the camera.
“Looks like our luck is really good. Not only did we encounter a nut tree, but we also encountered this brown tree snake. Our dinner is settled.”
Seeing how ferociously Bell grabbed the snake with his bare hands,
the audience in the live-stream swallowed their saliva.
“We shouldn’t remind Bell next time. Let’s just warn the snake instead.”
“Is it possible that this snake is non-toxic?”
Everyone discussed.
“Alright, there’s no need to guess. This is a brown tree snake. It’s a venomous snake unlike what you are guessing.
However, the venom of this snake is not very harmful to adults.
But if you were to find such a snake in places like the orchard, it is best to capture it.
......
This snake is harmful to the orchards as it hunts a large number of birds.”
“Don’t be fooled by its small size. In a year, they can make an entire forest of birds disappear.”
Bell took out his dagger and cut off the snake’s head.
The brown tree snake that had been struggling in Bell’s hand lost its head and quickly fell.
He bled the snake and stuffed it into his backpack.
After doing all this, Bell clapped his hands, looking so calm as if he had just done an insignificant thing.
“I’m starting to pity this snake.”
“It was still too young, unlike the previous one.”
“It failed to posture.”
Bell ignored the trolls in the live-stream.
After gathering the nuts, Bell jumped down from the tree.
“I told you that my luck has always been good. Now, with these nuts and this snake, our food is settled. All we have to do is search for water.
“To be honest, I am having difficulty breathing. This is a clear sign of human body temperature imbalance.”
Bell continued moving forward. From time to time, he would interact with the audience in the live-stream. When he saw some good questions on the screen, he would patiently explain.
For example, the new comment asked Bell how to find a water source in this environment. Bell answered patiently.
“Actually, it’s not that difficult to find a water source in this environment. In short, it’s best to use the three methods I mentioned before.
Observing the terrain, using the tracks of the surrounding animals and using plants to determine the direction of the water source.
But these approaches have to be modified by the region.
If you continue to use the same method in this Australian tropical rainforest, you might get lost here.
It is impossible to judge based on the footprints of the animals. Most of the animals here were reptiles and they have high heat resistance.
Moreover, a large portion of them can absorb water from the air through the skin, and they can survive for a long time even without water.
As for the last method to obtain water through food, I can only regretfully tell everyone that this method still won’t work.
Because this is a tropical rainforest, there is no lack of water. It rains frequently.
There is even a large amount of water in the air that can be absorbed.
This also means that many plants that need to live beside water do not even need to rely on the water source to survive here. ”
The audience finally realized the difficulty of this matter.
Bell advanced for some time.
Bell finally heard the sound of running water.
Although he had yet to see the water source, he felt much more at ease.
Even his body temperature seemed to drop.
His heart was calm and cool.
He quickened his pace and rushed towards the sound of water. In less than ten minutes, a stream appeared in front of Bell.
However, after seeing the stream, Bell did not jump down immediately.
Instead, he carefully pushed aside the bushes in front of him and said.
“I know that under normal circumstances, people who are thirsty or have a high temperature will be very excited when they see a water source.
But this is not the city. It’s the wilderness, so we have to be careful.
It is difficult to guarantee that there will not be saltwater crocodiles or freshwater crocodiles inside.
After all, they usually like to stay in lakes and streams. ”
As he spoke, Bell had already pushed aside the bushes in front of him. He saw that the stream was less than a meter wide.
Although it was small, it made Bell sigh in relief.
Such a large stream could not accommodate creatures like crocodiles.
In other words, this stream was safe.
After knowing this information, Bell rushed into the stream eagerly.
The cool water flowed past his body, and Bell heaved a sigh of relief. From the expression on his face, the audience knew that Bell was definitely very comfortable.
The stream was not deep, only about half a meter.
Compared to Bell’s height, it was just right.
After soaking in the water for a few minutes, he wiped his face and the stuffy feeling disappeared.
“I have to say, it’s really nice to take a bath in this cold stream in the heat.
I felt like I was in a bamboo steamer earlier.
I was almost cooked. ”
“Now that my mind is refreshed, I have to plan my following route.”
Bell was sitting in the stream, thinking.
“In this dense rainforest, there are many venomous snakes and spiders.
The plants here are too dense, our vision will be blocked.
In order to ensure our safety, we can’t move too quickly.
At the current speed, covering ten kilometers a day is already considered not bad. ”
With that, Bell observed the stream below him.
“This stream seems to be heading in the same direction as us.
In that case, we can follow it up for a while.
While ensuring our water source, it can also reduce temperature.
Most importantly, there are no bushes in the stream that block our vision. We can reduce the chances of encountering venomous snakes and spiders.”
“After all, you guys saw it just now. In just a short while, we encountered two venomous snakes.”
