Chapter 244: Giant Centipede

Bell said as he searched underground.

Soon, Bell’s eyes lit up. He picked up a tree branch and found a 30cm long centipede among the fallen leaves.

This huge centipede was blood red and looked extremely terrifying.

Its head looked even more terrifying.

Many people were afraid of centipedes, let alone such large centipedes.

The huge centipede was wrapped around the tree branch. Bell picked it up and said to the camera, “This is an Amazonian giant centipede.”

Their largest body length can reach 35 centimeters.

The toxicity of centipedes is related to their size.

If you are bitten by it in your sleep, the consequences will be unimaginable. I don’t want to test it. ”

Looking at this huge centipede, the audience in the live-stream immediately shivered and started commenting.

“F*ck, what a huge centipede!”

“How painful would it be to be bitten by it?”

“Chicken taste, crunchy!”

......

“Pour it in egg mixture, cover it in breadcrumbs, and fry it until both sides are golden. Even a child will cry from hunger.”

“Awesome, you can try it. Tell me if it’s delicious.”

“Bell, will it be fatal if you are bitten by this thing?”

“F*ck, Bell, are you going to eat this thing raw?

“High energy ahead, non-combat personnel, retreat immediately.”

“Don’t get close. I’m most afraid of centipedes!”

Bell placed the centipede on the ground and stepped on it to death. Then, he said, “Amazonian centipedes can’t be eaten raw. Even if their head and hind legs are cut off, you will still be poisoned after eating them.

If you eat it raw, it might cause stomach ulcers. ”

“This tree hole is dark and damp, very suitable for insects to survive.

There are more than one centipede on the ground. If I want to rest here, I have to maintain a certain distance from the ground.

Otherwise, even if being bitten by this giant centipede is not fatal, it will definitely not feel good. ”

With that, Bell walked out of the tree hole.

Bell held the dagger and began to cut some branches.

Before long, Bell returned with a pile of two-meter-long branches.

Seeing that the comments were still asking about centipedes, Bell patiently explained, “The poison of ordinary centipedes is not fatal, but it can cause some illnesses.

Logically speaking, a healthy adult will only feel pain when bitten by a centipede.

But if there are other diseases in your body, your condition might worsen. ”

“But this giant centipede is a toxic creature. Once bitten, the venom will speed up the blood circulation, causing the heartbeat to increase. Once a person with poor heart and lungs is bitten, their life will be in danger. ”

Bell chatted with everyone while making a simple wooden bed.

The main body of the wooden bed was two thick and long wooden sticks that Bell had stuck in the gaps on both sides of the tree hole.

Then, he covered it with wood.

The wooden bed was about a meter high from the ground. Lying on the bed, Bell tried it and found that it was quite firm.

Looking at the gradually darkening rainforest outside, Bell said, “If I can start a fire and roast this giant centipede, I can eat it. But it’s too dangerous to eat it raw. I’ll go out and see if I can find other food for dinner.”

After the previous experiences in this rainforest, Bell became much more careful. If he encountered a jaguar again, he would really be dead.

Due to the injuries, he had to replenish a large amount of energy every day. It was clearly not enough to eat these small insects.

Therefore, if the conditions allowed it, he needed some larger animals.

For example, the red-footed tortoise was very suitable.

This creature could not cause him any harm and was easy to capture. Moreover, it had a lot of proteins.

Bell began to search within a hundred meters of the tree hole.

Many ferocious beasts began to move in the tropical rainforest at dark.

Bell decided to search briefly. If there was nothing edible within a hundred meters, he would go back and eat insects.

After walking for more than twenty minutes, Bell found nothing.

Just as he was wondering if he should return, he suddenly saw a swamp ahead.

The swamp was very small, only about three square meters. The water inside was also turbid, making it impossible to tell how deep the water was.

Bell walked forward and carefully observed the swamp. He said, “This kind of swamp is very common in tropical rainforests. Some are connected to underground rivers, and most of them are formed when water is discharged.

It’s easy to find food in such a swamp. For example, the catfish we caught earlier, and some frogs and crabs.”

“However, there are also dangers in the swamp. The electric eel also likes to stay in the swamp.

This thing can emit 800 volts of electricity and stun people. Moreover, it can release electricity several times in a row. ”

Bell picked up a long stick and stirred the swamp to see if there was anything in the mud.

As Bell moved, the creatures in the swamp were alarmed and began to swim.

Bell zoomed in and pointed at a black-tailed creature. He said in surprise, “Look, this is an electric eel.

If you are electrocuted by this thing, although it will not kill you, the experience will definitely be unforgettable.

The electric eel can release the electric pulses up to 400 times a second. The discharge will not harm them.

After exhausting the electricity in their body, it will be filled again in a few hours. ”

“To be honest, I’m quite interested in electric eels.

Their cells are very special. They can produce and store bioelectric energy like batteries.

Most importantly, they can freely control the electric current. ”

The reason why the electric eel was listed as one of the ten most threatening freshwater fish in the world was not because it could produce fatal electric currents.

The main reason was that if the person who was electrocuted by the electric eel fell into the water with no one beside him, they could easily drown.

However, although the electric eel was dangerous, it was edible and had good meat.

Bell had no intention of jumping down to catch it.

Even with his physique, he could not withstand the electric shock.

If the 800-volt electric pulses hit continuously, it would cause heart failure and even permanent damage.

Bell stood at the edge of the swamp and said thoughtfully, “I remember that this electric eel is a delicacy to the natives.

They would usually drive the cows and sheep into the swamp and let the electric eel discharge electricity after being frightened.

When they are exhausted, the locals will capture those helpless electric eels. ”
