Chapter 240: Bright Goddess Butterfly
“With these aloe vera and the body’s immunity power, we don’t have to worry about infection.
Now that the most dangerous thing has been resolved, we have to hurry up.
We need to find a high ground before it gets dark. ”
As Bell continued to enter deep in the rainforest, there were more dead leaves under his feet. Stepping on them was like stepping on a soft bed.
But this did not relax Bell’s mind. Instead, it made him even more vigilant.
In the tropical rainforest, many animals liked to hide in dead leaves to ambush their prey.
For example, coral snakes and palm vipers.
These two were famous venomous snakes in Australia.
Once a person was bitten by a coral snake, a large amount of antiserum would be required to treat it.
This snake was small and had colorful rings on its body.
Even after being treated, there was a high chance of permanent damage to the respiratory tract.
Bell walked until noon before slowly stopping.
The sunlight was dazzling. It did not feel like the rainy season at all. Instead, it felt like a dry desert.
......
Along the way, Bell drank a lot of fresh water.
The fresh water was the rain that accumulated on the leaves last night.
Leaning against a tree stump, Bell wiped the sweat from his forehead.
He breathed out in relief and relaxed.
“I believe most of you have tried saunas.
The environment I am in now feels like a huge sauna.
It is already getting difficult to breathe.
I am sweating profusely every second.
This will cause an imbalance in electrolytes.
Drinking only water cannot resolve this predicament.
We need to replenish salt as well.
But this is the problem. It is very difficult to obtain salt in the Amazon rainforest. ”
After the exhausting morning, Bell felt hungry again.
Under normal circumstances, hunger meant that the blood sugar had decreased.
Bell looked around to see if there was anything that could replenish his nutrients, even insects.
However, the outcome was not satisfactory.
After looking around, Bell only saw two butterflies.
This thing would not fill his stomach.
Just as Bell was about to continue walking and searching for some food, he suddenly thought of something.
Wait.
Some information flashed through Bell’s mind.
He looked at the dancing butterflies and gulped.
This was not an ordinary butterfly.
This was like gold in Bell’s eyes.
Bright goddess butterfly.
How rare was it?
To put it simply, even a giant panda would be behind it.
This butterfly only lived in the tropics.
For now, only dozens of them were still alive in the Amazon rainforest.
Bell remembered seeing a piece of news on the Internet before he was reborn.
There was a foreign tycoon who offered a million USD reward to capture a bright goddess butterfly.
However, he was mocked by a group of people who said that this bit of money was not enough to obtain one.
Although this butterfly could be raised, the domesticated ones were inferior to wild ones.
There were only twenty or so pure bright goddess butterflies.
Bell did not approach rashly.
He was not a businessman and was not short of money. It was already his honor to encounter such a rare creature at such a close distance.
He carefully zoomed in at the two bright goddess butterflies.
Bell gestured to keep quiet.
“Do you see these two butterflies? These are bright goddess butterflies.
Their name came due to their dazzling wings.
Under the sunlight, they are like the legendary Goddess of Light.
There are only about twenty or so of these butterflies left in the world. We’re really lucky to encounter two here today. ”
The audience in the live-stream was also interested.
“Bright goddess butterfly, this name is really gorgeous.”
“Wow, this thing is indeed beautiful. Where can I buy it?”
“Host, how much protein can this thing replenish?”
“Previous poster, are you crazy? Do you know how rare this thing is?”
“Boss, please explain to us!”
“Bright goddess butterfly, genus Morpho.
So far, there are about twenty in the world.
Every wild, live bright goddess butterfly is worth 18 million USD in the black market, and there is no supply.
Even the dead specimens are priced at hundreds of thousands. ”
“F*ck! Is this a joke?!”
“Brothers, let’s not talk anymore. I’m going to the Amazon rainforest. Let’s see if I’m rich or poor when I return.”
“What are you waiting for, Bell? This is tens of millions of dollars!”
The audience in the live-stream could not help but feel anxious when they saw that Bell did not move.
Bell only smiled.
“Alright, stop joking. Firstly, I’m not a businessman. There’s no need for me to collect such a rare wild species for money.
In addition, wild bright goddess butterflies are protected by the law. Buying and selling it will be considered a crime. I don’t want to go to jail after this show.”
The audience could not help but be moved.
This was more than ten million USD, but Bell could still hold back his desire.
Many people asked themselves if they could do it.
“Money is not omnipotent.
There are indeed many tycoons who want to buy a bright goddess butterfly.
But in fact, they could not even buy a specimen.
But now, we can observe such rare creatures at such a close distance. It’s already a great honor. ”
Bell fed everyone a bowl of chicken soup.
But after hearing Bell’s words, not only were they not touched, they even became vigilant.
According to Bell’s usual style, after a round of chicken soup, something unexpected would usually follow.
This caused them to have resistance. As soon as Bell spoke, everyone became vigilant.
In fact, they were right.
Bell was indeed trying to tease them.
But seeing that these guys were already vigilant, Bell felt bored and gave up.
Just as Bell was thinking, the two butterflies flapped their wings and flew towards him, landing on his arms.
