Are You Telling An Eight-Year-Old To Survive In The Wilderness?-Chapter 242

The red-footed tortoise was roasted by Bell.

Hearing the crackling sound of the bamboo burning in the fire, Bell was very happy.

It would take some time for the tortoise to cook. Bell untied the cloth on his injury and took off the dried aloe.

He took out another piece and cut a new aloe vera like before, sticking it to the wound.

Then, he tied the cloth again.

The cool feeling made Bell narrow his eyes.

“The effect of this aloe vera is really good. I no longer feel the pain and itchiness from before.

The scab should be completely formed tomorrow. When the wound scabs, we don’t have to worry about bacterial infection.”

Without the threat of life, Bell was slightly more relaxed.

Looking at the tortoise that was still being roasted by the fire, Bell licked his lips.

“To be honest, I’m very surprised to be able to eat cooked food in this tropical rainforest.

Before coming, I had already planned to continue eating raw meat throughout this episode.

Today is an unexpected gain.”

......

In fact, not only Bell, but even the audience in the live-stream felt that Bell’s luck was really good this time.

“That shouldn’t be. How did Bell’s luck change?”

“Bell, how do you feel about suddenly becoming lucky?”

“Haha, previous poster, I will sue you for slander. Could it be that our Bell was an unlucky streamer?”

“Blessed by the Goddess of Light?”

“I wonder if Bell will continue to be lucky.”

The audience in the live-stream chimed in.

In another half an hour, the fire started to weaken.

In the end, only some charcoal was left.

The red-footed tortoise on the fire was already charred black.

Bell could already smell the fragrance of meat. 𝐟𝓇ℯ𝒆we𝒃𝘯𝒐νe𝑙.co𝚖

Hunger made Bell look forward to this barbecue.

Bell found a tree branch and picked the red-footed tortoise out of the charcoal. He placed it aside and waited for it to cool down.

Bell took out his dagger and looked eager.

“Just this smell is very tempting. I bet the taste this time will definitely not be bad.”

After letting it cool down for a while, Bell knocked the red-footed tortoise’s shell with the dagger.

The main composition of the tortoise shell was calcium. After being burned by the fire for so long, it was already extremely fragile. With a light knock, it shattered.

The tortoise meat inside was still warm.

The temperature was just right.

He could smell the fragrance of the tortoise meat.

He cut a small piece of tortoise meat with the dagger and ate it eagerly.

After chewing for a while, he swallowed it and commented.

“The taste is quite good. It’s similar to chicken meat, but more delicate.

I think it would be a delicacy if some spices were used.

But it’s already very difficult to have a hot meal in this rainforest. We can’t ask for anything more.”

After removing the shell, the tortoise did not have much meat.

There were very few edible parts.

Although the tortoise meat had high protein, it could not provide much energy to Bell.

Moreover, the more he ate, the more Bell tasted a strange taste in the tortoise meat.

Bell did not know if it was because he had not handled the meat well or if the meat was like this.

In short, after eating the tortoise, Bell lost his appetite.

After resting on the ground for a while, Bell stood up again and prepared to collect water.

This was a bamboo forest. He could not waste these resources like this. At the very least, he had to fill his canteen.

After replenishing the water and filling the canteen, Bell carried his backpack again.

After dealing with the fire, he said to the camera.

“Alright, everyone, we have replenished our water and obtained a meal. Moreover, my wound is no longer a problem. What’s left is the best time of the day. We can’t waste time. We have to set off as soon as possible.”

In the Amazon rainforest, the terrain would usually be slope-like.

The angle of the slope was not big.

It was indeed difficult to tell with the naked eye.

The reason for this was also related to the annual rainy season here.

After the rainy season arrived, the water level of the Amazon river would increase rapidly.

This caused a flood that washed the soil downstream.

It was a cycle every year, which resulted in this situation. The terrain was flat, but it was slightly steep.

Bell walked in the rainforest for another hour.

At this moment, he was standing under a tall tree that was more than 50 meters tall.

Bell seemed to be hesitating.

“I think we should change our strategy.

It does not seem easy to find high ground in the Amazon rainforest.

The terrain here is too confusing.

The flat terrain and lush vegetation make it difficult to tell where the true high ground is. ”

The tree in front of Bell was about 55 meters tall. The branches and leaves were lush. If he could climb up, he could use these branches to reach the top of the tree.

Bell patted the tree trunk.

The thick tree trunk was slightly wet.

“This tree is about 55 to 60 meters tall.

This height is not the highest here, but if we can reach the top of the tree, we can use it to see more than ten kilometers around us.

You have to know how to adapt to the situation in the wild. Only then can you find the most beneficial method in your situation. ”

“It’s too difficult to find a high ground. Instead of wasting our energy like this, it’s better to climb up this tree.

However, there is another problem.

There are no branches for ten meters in this tree.

Moreover, it’s a little slippery because of the rain. We have to think of a way to solve this issue.”

Bell was also thinking to himself.

The tree in front of him was very thick. It was about four meters in diameter.

Therefore, unlike the other thin tree trunks, Bell could not climb it while hugging it.

Coupled with this slippery appearance, this was much more difficult than rock climbing, so much so that Bell wanted to retreat.

Walking around the tree, Bell was a little discouraged.

There did not seem to be a good way.

Just as Bell was about to give up, his eyes suddenly lit up. Some of the branches on this tree were very similar to a tree beside it, less than half a meter away.
