Chapter 245: Numb, Electrified
Many people in the live-stream had heard of the electric eel, but they had never seen it with their own eyes.
Everyone was curious about this mysterious creature that could release electricity. They sent comments on the screen, indicating for Bell to capture it quickly.
“Bell, today’s dinner is it!”
“It can discharge electricity. Just the thought of it is exciting.”
“Haha, why did I think of something else?”
“What are you talking about? Why don’t I understand?”
“Bell, don’t let it escape.
“Speaking of which, the feeling of being electrocuted is quite comfortable.
I have to touch the electric plug every day before I go to work. It’s numbing. If I don’t have electricity for a day, I will feel uncomfortable. ”
“F*ck, the previous poster is awesome!”
“F*ck, compared to you guys, I find myself too weak.”
Bell looked at the comments in the live-stream, especially the guy who liked to electrocute himself every day. The corners of his mouth twitched.
If it were ordinary household electricity, their lives would not be in danger.
......
However, it will cause a large number of cells in the body to die, especially white blood cells. It will also affect the heart over time.
The immunity of the human body was directly related to white blood cells.
If he was electrocuted every day, the white blood cells in his body would decrease rapidly, making him weak and greatly reducing his resistance to viruses and bacteria.
Whether this person was telling the truth or not, Bell had to remind him.
“I just saw a fan say that he liked to electrocute himself every day. Whether it’s true or not, I have to remind everyone that this is very harmful to the body. Don’t court death.”
With that, Bell turned and left the swamp.
The people in the live-stream thought that Bell had given up, but they were also puzzled. Bell did not go to the tree hole but searched the surroundings.
Bell explained, “When the natives catch electric eels, they use another method as well.
They would crush the roots of the derris alborubra and drip the liquid into the water.
The juice of the derris alborubra shrub contains a substance called rotenone.
This is a poisonous substance. It is harmful to aquatic creatures and insects, but it will not cause harm to mammals. ”
“Rotenone can make fish faint. This is a method used by the local natives to catch electric eels.
When the electric eel is unconscious, it can’t release electricity. ”
Bell had already begun to search the forest.
Derris alborubra were everywhere in the Amazon rainforest and were not difficult to find.
However, right now, the lighting was very poor in the forest.
It took Bell more than ten minutes to finally find the derris alborubra.
Derris alborubra was very long, and the derris alborubra in front of Bell was like a twisted tree.
Bell took out his dagger and cut off a vine as thick as an arm. He raised the vine in his hand to the camera.
“Look, this small piece can poison all the creatures in a twenty-square-meter pond.”
Holding the small piece of vine, Bell walked back to the edge of the swamp.
He smashed the vine with a tree branch and put it into the swamp.
Under Bell’s constant stirring, the mud gradually turned pale white.
Bell pointed at the water and said, “The rotenone is insoluble in the mud. As long as we wait quietly, we can fish out the unconscious electric eel.”
The effect of the rotenone was to make the fish unconscious.
The electric eel was different from other fish.
Although the electric eel was closely related to catfish, it needed to come out of the water to breathe periodically.
In order to not be paralyzed by the rotenone and die in the water, this electric eel could only try its best to crawl out of the mud.
After a while, a black electric eel crawled out and climbed ashore.
Bell had been waiting for a long time.
He took the opportunity and grabbed the electric eel.
Bell raised the electric eel in his hand and said with a smile.
“Look, it’s this guy. In fact, once we leave the water, this guy will not be so dangerous.
Because the electric resistance in the water is much lower than the electric eel itself, the discharge would not hurt it.
But once it was in the air, once the eel discharged, it would first injure itself.
Therefore, we can…”
Before Bell could finish, he suddenly felt numb.
A strong electric current erupted from the electric eel.
The numb feeling quickly spread throughout Bell’s body.
800V electric pulses made Bell collapse to the ground.
His entire body was tense.
Fortunately, the ground was covered in thick dead leaves. Otherwise, he would probably have fallen and injured himself.
The audience in the live-stream was listening to Bell’s explanation. They thought that the eel was really nothing to worry about after being caught.
In the end, face-slapping happened so quickly.
Many people were stunned and could not react.
Instantly, the audience in the live-stream laughed crazily.
“Hahaha, Bell failed again.”
“Can someone tell me why Bell’s hair is not smoking? I think people who are electrocuted have hair that is smoking, right?”
“This story tells us that people will not die unless they court death.”
“This is too funny, but will you be okay if you are electrocuted by the electric eel?”
“I think Bell should be fine.”
“Previous poster, I doubt it. Don’t you see? Bell is not moving.”
“In short, the situation is very awkward for him.”
After lying on the ground for more than ten minutes, Bell finally recovered.
After being hit by the electric eel’s electric current, his entire body felt numb and weak.
Struggling to sit up, Bell looked at the electric eel in his hand.
At this moment, the high temperature caused by the electric current had already killed it.
“Alright, this one is indeed a warrior.”
Bell shook his head and perked up.
Logically speaking, eels would not discharge electricity on land.
Because this would cause them to die first.
But who would have thought that the eel in his hand would have such a bad temper?
He had not even done anything, but it had actually killed itself.
However, Bell quickly reacted.
He looked at the pale rotenone floating on the water.
It seemed like this eel was slow to react because he had placed this thing in the water.
It should have released the electric current in the water, but because of the paralysis, the current was released on land.
