Chapter 97: Rare Creature, Leatherback Sea Turtle
After instructing Natalie and the others, Bell no longer delayed.
He grabbed his harpoon and plunged into the water.
The Wilderness Survival’s production team had arranged a lot of camera equipment for everyone and they were waterproof.
Therefore, although he was in the water, the camera could still record the scene clearly.
In the camera, colorful corals and various fish that could not be seen in the freshwater swam in front of Bell.
The audience looked at this scene and felt like they were in a painting.
“This is too beautiful!”
“The production team’s recording equipment is really awesome.”
A series of praises filled the comments in the live-stream.
Bell was fully focused on hunting fish.
As for Scarlett, after seeing Bell enter the water, she hesitated for a moment and followed with her harpoon, preparing to catch her dinner.
Bell did not waste his effort to chase after the fish that swam in front of him.
His target was not these petite parrot cichlids.
This fish was too fast, and it was impossible to capture it.
Bell’s target was the fish hiding in the coral reef.
Although the hard coral could let these fish escape from the other predators, in the face of humans, this concealment was useless. They were only trapping themselves.
The sunlight shone through the sea surface, making the entire shallow water area beautiful like in a painting.
Bell’s stamina was not weak. His lung capacity could allow him to swim for a long time, and he could even swim underwater for three to four minutes.
Of course, it would not be easy to find some prey in these few minutes.
After his first fruitless search, Bell leisurely swam to the surface and breathed in fresh air.
Then, he dived into the water again.
Not far from Bell, a huge sea turtle was swimming lazily in his direction.
From its size, this sea turtle was about two meters long.
Its dark back was covered in white spots.
Many viewers in the live-stream were very excited to see such a large turtle for the first time.
Bell naturally noticed this turtle.
Looking at the leisurely turtle, Bell swam to the surface excitedly.
“Everyone, did you see that? We just found a sea turtle.”
“That’s not an ordinary sea turtle. This kind of sea turtle is called leatherback sea turtle Turtle. Ordinary leatherback sea turtles do not exceed two meters.”
“According to what I know, there are less than 100 leatherback sea turtles this size in the world. We actually encountered one today, and at such a close distance!”
Some of the audience were puzzled.
They were excited to see a creature like a sea turtle, but they did not understand what Bell meant. After all, they were watching wilderness survival; the first thing they thought of was to eat it.
Bell rolled his eyes at the comments asking him to eat the leatherback sea turtle.
“Everyone, I advise you to be rational!”
“Although the Wilderness Survival team has an agreement that the contestants can hunt wild animals and plants.”
“But this leatherback sea turtle is too endangered. We can forget about it.”
“The leatherback sea turtle is a class II protected animal. Moreover, such a large leatherback sea turtle is very rare.”
It was already very lucky to encounter such a large leatherback sea turtle.
This was not a conservation area, but the vast sea.
Meeting such a creature in such an environment was even more difficult than winning the lottery.
Hearing that Bell did not plan to eat this turtle, some people expressed regret, but they also approved of Bell’s actions.
After all, although survival was very important, everyone was willing to spare such a rare creature if the food was not an issue.
Seeing the leatherback sea turtle in such an environment seemed to prove Bell’s luck.
After diving again, it did not take long for Bell to find a lobster.
This was good stuff.
Even in the water, Bell couldn’t help but swallow.
He tightened his grip on the harpoon and gently stroked the lobster’s antennas.
The antennas of lobsters in the sea helped them find their way around.
Under normal circumstances, the lobsters would hide themselves in the coral reef or the sand at the bottom of the sea and extend their antennas to observe the surroundings to sense if there were any dangers or opportunities to hunt.
Bell’s actions just now had given the lobster the wrong information, making it feel like there was prey. In an instant, it shot out from the bottom of the lake.
It was so fast that ordinary people would not be able to react.
But Bell had already prepared for a long time. He seized the opportunity and pierced the lobster’s head with the harpoon.
With his spoils of war, Bell returned to the surface. Seeing the lobster still jumping with vitality, Bell smiled.
“As expected, my luck today is really good. Such a huge lobster would have cost at least ten thousand yuan in a restaurant.”
“But today, we can taste it for free, and it’s definitely fresh.”
Bell moved the lobster to the camera.
Looking at the lobster that was even bigger than Bell’s head, everyone couldn’t help but swallow.
Some users also began to joke.
“The Wilderness Survival round is over. Now, it’s time for the food program. Those who have not eaten yet, please leave.”
“Such a big lobster and so fresh. It must taste great if eaten raw! Hahaha!”
“Sashimi without wasabi is boring!”
Seeing that Bell had solved the food problem, some fans in the comments were no longer worried. As for the regret of not being able to eat the leatherback sea turtle, it had long been forgotten by everyone.
Bell did not stop there. He was in a team and not alone. The female guests also needed to replenish their energy, but they had yet to gain anything. Bell could not stop now.
Looking at the women who were still moving in and out of the water but did not gain anything, Bell shook his head helplessly.
They could not be blamed for this. After all, it was quite difficult to dive and hunt in such a place without any fishing experience.
After some thought, Bell decided to call the others over and help him cook the lobster.
Scarlett brought Anne Hathaway ashore. As for Natalie Portman and Keira Knightley, they remained in the water.
