《Are You Telling An Eight-Year-Old To Survive In The Wilderness?》 Chapter 1 Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios On the CV exploration channel, a female host was reporting excitedly. Beside her was a huge pyramid-shaped thing covered by a red cloth. ¡°Dear viewers, welcome to the world¡¯s largest wilderness exploration program, Man vs. Wild.¡± ¡°This is a survival reality show. Unlike what everyone has seen before, this time, we will gather the applicants from various parts of the world, who will then have to pass various selections to finally select the king of the pyramid of life.¡± ¡°In addition, we have also prepared generous cash rewards for all warriors who dare to challenge the unknown.¡± The host said as the camera¡¯s point of view changed. She grabbed a corner of the red cloth and pulled. The thing that was covered by the red cloth was revealed before everyone. The huge thing was actually a pile of cash. The host smiled. ¡°As you can see, this is the reward we prepared for the final victor. Whoever can become the ultimate king of the wilderness will get this.¡± The audience in front of the television was already in high spirits. Looking at the mountain of cash, the audience guessed, ¡°This! There are probably several billions.¡± ¡°Several billions? It should be more than ten billion!¡± The huge amount of cash instantly attracted the audience¡¯s attention. The program¡¯s viewership ratings also soared by a large margin, instantly reaching first place. Seeing that the effect had been achieved, the host continued. ¡°Since this program is a global competition, to ensure that the audience everywhere can watch the show, we will broadcast everything on YouTube, TikTok, douyin1, and other platforms.¡± ¡°Also, to ensure the fairness of the program, we have invited guests from other platforms and survival specialists to be the hosts of this program.¡± ¡°Let¡¯s welcome the guest hosts, Bear Grylls and Ed Stafford!¡± Two middle-aged men walked on stage. Bear was wearing a hiking pant and a windbreaker, while Ed was more casual with his trouser, black tight vest, and a jacket They were both dressed like they usually did in their survival programs. Taking the microphone, Bear said, ¡°I¡¯m very happy to be the host of this global Man vs. Wild. I will analyze from a professional point of view whether the actions of the contestants are reasonable and what they should do.¡± Ed, ¡°That¡¯s right. This competition is filled with dangers. At the same time, we are looking forward to witnessing the birth of the strongest survivalist with everyone.¡± As soon as the two of them appeared, a commotion broke out. ¡°Bear Grylls! Ed Stafford! They are true survival masters! They¡¯re actually going to be the ones to host the show!¡± Not only the live audience, but everyone in front of the television knew about these two people. They were definitely the king of wilderness survival and had almost all the knowledge about surviving in the wilderness. Everyone who liked watching survival in wilderness programs knew their names. Their appearance pushed the show to another high. ¡°I believe everyone is very excited to see Bear and Ed.¡± ¡°But the surprise is not over yet.¡± ¡°Please welcome our next guests!¡± ¡°YouTube influencer, handicraft artist, Li Ziqi.¡± ¡°Horror novel author, Stephen King.¡± ¡°The founders of the Lonely Planet, Tony Wheeler and Maureen Wheeler.¡± Names popped out of the beautiful host¡¯s mouth like beans. Immediately after, the backstage curtain opened. A slender woman in traditional Chinese clothes walked out with a sweet smile. ¡°Hello everyone, I¡¯m Li Ziqi. I¡¯m honored to be invited to this show.¡± When Li Ziqi appeared, the scene instantly exploded! ¡°Goddess! Goddess! Goddess!¡± The crowd cheered. Li Ziqi was very popular on Youtube. She had many fans both in China and overseas. At the same time, her video style that showed a tranquil life also gave a different feeling to the audience who were used to watching survival programs. Her diligent and peaceful image had long been engraved in everyone¡¯s hearts. Behind Li Ziqi were the other special guests. They were all heavyweights. It could be said that the program had invited all the top figures who were involved in the various elements of wilderness survival Whether it was at the scene or in front of the screen, everyone¡¯s emotions were pushed to the limits! After introducing the guests, the female host continued. ¡°The Man vs. Wild preliminary round will begin soon. There are a total of 1,000 participants in this qualifier.¡± ¡°The location of the preliminary round will be the forest in Shennongjia.¡± ¡°This is a world heritage site and a nature reserve. There are many poisonous snakes and ferocious beasts that we rarely see. It¡¯s almost impossible for ordinary people to survive here.¡± ¡°But today, a thousand warriors will challenge this primitive forest. We will place the participants in random areas in Shennongjia.¡± ¡°Every participant will get a backpack, an empty water bottle, and a dagger as their initial resource.¡± ¡°They need to rely on these tools to walk out of this primitive forest.¡± ¡°The qualifying participants will advance to the next round.¡± ¡°I would like to remind everyone that if you see a contestant you like, you can choose to give a gift to support this contestant. We will open a special gift channel for everyone.¡± ¡°Next, let us take a look at the participants.¡± The screen in front of the host changed. Among the thousand people, there were retired war veterans, wilderness survival streamers, and even some survival teachers. However, there was a young face among them that attracted everyone¡¯s attention. He was an Asian boy who looked to be no more than ten years old. His immature face was quite eye-catching among the photos of the participants that looked like they were battle-hardened. At this moment, the owner of this photo was already sitting on a plane. The young man was called Bell. He was only eight years old. However, his eyes did not have the ignorance of a young man. Instead, they were abnormally sharp. In fact, he was a special forces soldier. To be precise, he was a special forces soldier in his previous life. He had transmigrated to this world. Because he had awakened the system, in order to obtain the system reward and to not forget the skills he had in his previous life, Bell participated in this show. The system¡¯s name was Wilderness Survival System, and its abilities were very simple. Bell only knew two abilities of the system. First, signing in to get the reward. Second, exchanging live broadcast popularity for rewards. These were the system abilities that Bell knew for now. But when the system awakened, it had told Bell that there was still a third ability. However, he had to explore it himself. Bell was still in a daze on the plane. At that moment, a voice interrupted his thoughts. ¡°Attention everyone! We will distribute the resources now!¡± ¡°Prepare to parachute!¡± Chapter 2 Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios Bell stirred up everyone¡¯s emotions with a few words. The beautiful host in the broadcast room was focused on Bell¡¯s screen. Seeing Bell¡¯s expression and smile, Bear nodded in satisfaction, and his eyes revealed a look of agreement. ¡°Bear, you seem to be very satisfied with our contestant.¡± The beautiful host caught Bear¡¯s expression and asked. ¡°Haha, this young contestant has indeed greatly exceeded my expectations. Actually, crossing the thorny zone is not a wise decision.¡± ¡°Just like the comments said, it¡¯s easy to be scratched when going through this area. You have to know that this is a primeval forest. Even a small wound can be troublesome to deal with if it leads to an infection.¡± ¡°But at the same time, this is also a test for the survivalists.¡± ¡°Let¡¯s see if he can choose the correct method to pass through this forest of thorns.¡± ¡°I¡¯m quite satisfied with him because of his mentality.¡± ¡°As a survivalist, you can have a sense of crisis, but you can¡¯t let it affect your mood and judgment. This contestant knows what he wants.¡± ¡°If he had really listened to the audience¡¯s opinion and chose to avoid this thorny forest, he might have gained nothing today.¡± ¡°But if he passes through this thorny area safely, he will gain a lot.¡± ¡°We can see this lake not far behind this area. That¡¯s his destination.¡± The broadcast room could see the aerial view. The thorny area in front of Bell was not small. It would take a day to detour around it. In this thorny area, food resources were scarce. The audience in the broadcast room looked enlightened when they heard Ed¡¯s words. They all clapped and cheered for Bell. At this moment, Bell was trimming the branch on his hand into a long wooden stick. ¡°Everyone, don¡¯t be anxious. Whether we can safely cross this thorny area will depend on this wooden stick.¡± Although time was tight, Bell was not flustered. He explained to everyone. Hearing Bell¡¯s words, the audience was curious. ¡°Host, what¡¯s the use of this wooden stick?¡± Some people expressed their puzzlement. As they asked, Bell¡¯s wooden stick was finished. He measured its size and nodded in satisfaction. ¡°What¡¯s its use? Everyone will see it soon.¡± Bell walked to the edge of the bramble bushes with the wooden stick. After choosing the landing point, Bell quickly took two steps and jumped, perfectly jumping past the bramble bush. Every thorn was three to four meters wide. There were only a few small gaps in the middle. However, Bell could easily find the gaps in between the dense thorny brambles, and not a single one of them touched him. ¡°F*ck, could it be that the host has really trained before? Even an athlete can¡¯t compare to him, right?¡± ¡°Am I really watching Wilderness Survival? It¡¯s not a sports program, right?¡± ¡°Kung Fu!¡± Bell¡¯s smooth movement astonished a lot of the audience. ¡°It¡¯s over. There¡¯s no way to explain this.¡± Not only the audience in Bell¡¯s live-stream, even the people in the broadcast room were shocked. ¡°Oh my god, isn¡¯t he too agile?¡± The host gaped in surprise at Bell¡¯s actions. Bear and Ed couldn¡¯t help but clap with the crowd. ¡°China is really a magical place.¡± They had thought of various ways to pass through this thorny area, but they did not expect Bell to make up for this difficulty with his strength. ¡°Indeed, everything is useless before absolute strength.¡± Bell continued to jump through the thorny area with the wooden stick. Neither the thorny vines nor the rocks could stop him. There was still some distance before he crossed the thorny area. Even with Bell¡¯s stamina, he was becoming exhausted, but he persisted. Sitting on the ground, Bell breathed heavily and wiped the sweat from his forehead, but he was smiling. ¡°Hehe, sorry for making a fool of myself. It¡¯s been too long since I¡¯ve done this. I¡¯m a little rusty.¡± Bell said humbly. The live-stream exploded. ¡°No, no, no. The host is too modest. With such skills, it would be a pity if you don¡¯t become a professional athlete.¡± ¡°That¡¯s right. As a sports student, I think every move of the host is very difficult. I don¡¯t think I can do it. By the way, I¡¯ve been doing sports for eight years.¡± Seeing that his skills had surprised him, Bell scratched his head awkwardly. When he was in the special forces, these movements were basically compulsory. In addition, the system had increased his physical strength. Only then could Bell reach his current level. After resting for a while, he followed the water tributary past the thorny area and soon arrived at the lake. ¡°Everyone, look, we¡¯ve found the water source. In this case, there¡¯s no need to worry about food.¡± ¡°Wild fish taste excellent. Even without any seasonings, they are very delicious.¡± ¡°It¡¯s decided. Tonight¡¯s food will be fish.¡± Bell smiled. ¡°As expected, while the other streamers are still hungry, our contestant has already begun to consider the menu. How can the difference between people be so great?¡± ¡°I wonder if the other streamers will cry after seeing Bell¡¯s life.¡± ¡°The other participants are already hungry and eating grass.¡± Bell ignored the messages on the screen and put down the vines and backpack. He took out the dagger and began to dig on the soft ground beside the lake. ¡°Since we want to fish, we naturally need bait. This land is not bad and is easy to dig. Let¡¯s dig some earthworms and place them on the vines later.¡± Because the ground near the lake was wet and soft, it was very easy to dig. Before long, Bell found several earthworms. ¡°I can teach everyone a way to fish in the wild. Night-line fishing.¡± ¡°The vines we gathered earlier can be of use.¡± Bell took out the vines and the wooden stick. After tying it tightly, he stabbed the wooden stick into the ground beside the lake. Some stones were tied to the end of the vine, and the earthworm was hung on the end. ¡°In the wild, these earthworms or some leftovers can be used as bait.¡± ¡°The thorns on the vines can be used as fish hooks.¡± ¡°We just have to throw the vines into the water and wait patiently.¡± Bell even deliberately made a few more such preparations. ¡°Can the host really do this?¡± Many people were doubtful. But Bell smiled mysteriously. ¡°If nothing goes wrong, we will have fish tonight.¡± Chapter 3 Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios Night soon fell. Bell did not explore too far away today. Now that he had found water and food, the most important thing was to build a camp. Following the previous method, Bell quickly built another camp. With the camp, he felt much more at ease. However, by the time he was finished with it, the sky turned dark. The audience looked at Bell¡¯s figure that had been busy the entire day and felt their hearts ache. The popularity of Bell¡¯s live-stream increased very quickly. It was mainly because Bell was indeed a very capable contestant. Compared to other contestants, Bell, this young contestant, was like a survival specialist. Many of the amateur contestants had yet to resolve the water problem. As for starting a fire, they had no idea at all. Some contestants knew the idea of drilling wood to make a fire, but very few succeeded. Bell spoke to the audience. ¡°It¡¯s time to enjoy our dinner.¡± ¡°Let¡¯s see how our luck is today. Guess how many fish we caught?¡± The audience was interested. ¡°That¡¯s right. Host, quickly take out those vines and take a look. I¡¯ve never seen this fishing style.¡± The audience was looking forward to seeing if Bell¡¯s fishing method was really effective. If there was no fish, Bell would probably have to go hungry today. After getting used to seeing Bell succeed every time, some people wanted to see him fail. ¡°Alright, alright. Everyone, don¡¯t be anxious. Let¡¯s go and take a look.¡± He pulled the thorny vines up, but he did not gain anything from the first one. The audience could not help but sigh when they saw this. ¡°It seems like there are times when he fails.¡± ¡°That¡¯s normal. How can we catch fish like this?¡± Some of the envious people began to belittle Bell. However, before they could rebuke Bell, the second vine was pulled up. ¡°There¡¯s movement. Look.¡± Sensing that the other end of the vine was of a different weight, Bell¡¯s eyes lit up. Then, he carefully pulled the vine up and saw a fish that was less than half a kilogram hanging on the other end of the vine, jumping around. ¡°Haha, looks like my luck is not bad. This fish is not small.¡± Seeing that there was really something, the envious people stopped commenting and closed their mouths in disinterest. Then two, three, four, five. Bell harvested nearly ten fish when all the vines were pulled out. The audience was already dumbfounded. ¡°F*ck, is this method so effective? It¡¯s much better than me using a fish hook.¡± Some netizens who liked to fish were tempted. However, Bell quickly stopped them. ¡°If you¡¯re interested, you can try it, but this method requires some luck. At the same time, it¡¯s not suitable in places where the water is rapid.¡± ¡°In addition, when choosing the brambled vines, there are also some rules about the thorns on the vines. They can¡¯t be too big or too soft. They have to be just right to hook the fish¡¯s cheeks, but not break easily. These all need to be judged by experience, but they can also be tested as fun.¡± After hearing Bell¡¯s explanation, everyone was completely convinced. The envious people also completely shut up. Bell started cleaning and gutting the fish, and then returned to the camp. ¡°The weather today is a little damp. It will be too difficult to drill wood to start a fire, but fortunately, we collected some charcoal from the previous fire. They can be used.¡± ¡°Other than drilling wood to start a fire, using a flint is also a way to make a fire.¡± Bell said as he busied herself. ¡°The host is going to start explaining again. I really want to transfer the video to the other contestants. Just take a look, so many contestants have yet to successfully start a fire.¡± ¡°Starting a fire from the flint sounds much more difficult than drilling wood to get fire.¡± ¡°I just saw the host pick up two stones by the lake. Could they be flint?¡± Looking at the messages on the screen, Bell smiled. ¡°Hehe, don¡¯t be surprised. Actually, flint isn¡¯t difficult to find.¡± ¡°It¡¯s this kind of stone that is hard enough.¡± ¡°Such things are common beside lakes and rivers.¡± Bell took out the charcoal from his bag and crushed them before spreading them on the dry weeds he had gathered earlier. Then, he used the back of his dagger to hit the sharp point of the flint. Sparks flew. Soon, white smoke emitted from the dried weeds and easily combustible charcoal. Under Bell¡¯s careful protection, they were finally ignited. The moment the flames rose, the audience in the live-stream was excited again. ¡°Bell is awesome!¡± Compared to the other streamers, Bell¡¯s proficient methods attracted the audience. With the flames, things went much smoother. The military canteen given by the production team could be used as a container. Bell placed the cleaned fish and enough water into the canteen, and put it on the fire. Soon, the water in the canteen began to bubble. The fish meat also turned milky white. Bell carefully removed the canteen. ¡°A bowl of fish soup. Although there is no salt, the wild fish tastes good.¡± Bell drank happily as he sat beside the fire while watching the night sky. ¡°Bell looks so cute right now.¡± Comments flashed across the screen. Bell chatted with the audience. Survival in the wild was lonely. With such a live broadcast, it could relieve the stress. After a bowl of fish soup, Bell was full. ¡°Alright, everyone, dinner is settled. Now, we have to carefully clean up the leftovers.¡± ¡°This is the wild after all. The smell of oil and protein will easily attract some dangerous creatures. Their sense of smell is very sharp.¡± The child-like Bell while eating was gone. Soon, Bell became that survival specialist again. It was late at night. After taking various measures, Bell lay down in his temporary camp and prepared to sleep. However, in the middle of the night, a sound suddenly woke Bell up. The highly vigilant Bell immediately got up and carefully looked around with the wooden stick in hand. Some of the audience who had not turned off the live broadcast before sleeping also woke up when they heard the sound. ¡°What¡¯s going on? Why is there a sound?¡± ¡°Hnng!¡± A pig-like sound came from behind the bushes. Bell¡¯s pupils constricted. ¡°Oh no! It¡¯s a wild boar!¡± Bell immediately realized what was going on. Almost at the same time, he thought of how the blood of the fish might have stained some grass which he had not noticed, and it had attracted this big guy. Without hesitation, Bell ran in the opposite direction. ¡°Heavens, what¡¯s going on? What happened?¡± Some of the audience in the live-stream were also awakened. They looked at Bell who was running and asked nervously. ¡°It¡¯s a wild boar, there¡¯s a wild boar.¡± Some audience members had seen the situation and explained to the newly arrived people. Bell did not have the time or the mood to interact with the comments. It was already a moment of life and death. Wild boars were very dangerous creatures in the wild and were very aggressive. Bell did not dare to stop for a moment. As he was running too quickly, there were a few wounds from scratches on his arm, making him look extremely miserable. The hearts of the audience also rose to their throats. Everyone was praying for Bell. In the end, Bell jumped onto a tree while the boar was not paying attention and escaped. He stood on the tree branch and looked at the wild boar moving around. It seemed like it did not want to give up on a prey like Bell. ¡°I probably have no way of getting a good sleep tonight.¡± Bell said tiredly. ¡°This is normal in a primeval forest.¡± At this moment, the audience who had been in Bell¡¯s live-stream finally realized the danger of this primeval forest. Previously, when they saw that Bell¡¯s journey had been smooth, they had the illusion that even they could do well.. Only when this ferocious beast appeared did they realize that they could lose their lives at any time here. Chapter 4 Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios In the broadcast room, be it the audience, judges, or guests, everyone was shocked when they saw the situation on the screen. ¡°Oh my god, this is too dangerous. He¡¯s just a child. Should we send special forces to rescue him?¡± The female host said nervously. At the same time, she did not dare to be distracted as she looked at Bell¡¯s image on the screen. Meeting a wild boar in the wild was definitely a huge crisis. A wild boar was not huge, but at its top speed, it would not be surpassed by even a top predator like a tiger for some time. Coupled with the terrifying tusks, it was a terrifying creature. It was death if you were struck head-on, or injuries if you were even slightly touched by it. The two survival experts, Bear and Ed, knew what it meant to encounter such things in the wild. Not to mention Bell, even they would have to escape if they were not armed and prepared. Moreover, Bell was only an eight-year-old child, albeit quite strong. ¡°No, although we can send someone to rescue him, this contestant hasn¡¯t sent a distress signal. We can¡¯t find his exact location.¡± Bell was sitting on a tree branch. The wild boar that had been circling the tree seemed to have left. However, Bell did not go down. He could not be sure if this wild boar had really left. Many viewers in the live-stream began to send comments. ¡°Host, hurry up and send a distress signal. Get the organizer to send a rescue team.¡± ¡°These wild creatures can¡¯t be dealt with without firearms.¡± ¡°Yeah, host, even a survival expert can¡¯t do anything about this situation.¡± Everyone suggested to Bell. After all, Bell was only an eight-year-old child. They felt that Bell¡¯s performance was outstanding enough. It could only be said that he was unlucky to encounter a wild boar. But Bell only smiled when he saw the comments. ¡°It¡¯s not even dawn yet, and there are still many wild beasts hiding in the forest. We should try our best not to alert them.¡± Bell leaned carefully against the thick tree trunk and looked around warily. It was not completely safe on the tree, but it could prevent the attacks of most beasts. Understanding the danger, the audience did not dare to continue disturbing Bell. Soon, the sky turned bright, and a ray of sunlight shone through the dense leaves into the forest. At the same time, a voice sounded in Bell¡¯s ears. ¡°Ding¡­ Congratulations to the host for signing in!¡± [Trap Setting Skill LVMAX] Hearing the system¡¯s voice, the corners of Bell¡¯s mouth revealed a rare smile. Knowledge about traps appeared in Bell¡¯s mind. He felt like a hunter who had been hunting for many years. But soon, Bell noticed something unusual. Unlike the previous rewards, this time, there was no specific way to set traps. ¡°What¡¯s wrong with the system this time? Why are there only techniques and no specific method to set up the traps?¡± Bell asked inwardly. ¡°The trap setting skill is a major classification. The specific method to set it needs to be exchanged with popularity points.¡± Bell rolled his eyes. ¡°System, you profiteer!¡± Checking the prices of the traps in the system¡¯s goods interface, Bell felt a trace of relief. [Ring trap: When the prey steps into it, the trap will contract. The more the prey struggles, the tighter the trap will be.] [Spring Hook Lock Trap: It binds the prey¡¯s leg off the ground and lifts it up, reducing the possibility of the prey escaping.] [Lure Trap: Dig a deep pit on the trail of the animals. Use common items like tree branches and moss to cover the hole. Place the bait on the cover and lay sharp objects in the pit. It can kill the prey.] In the end, Bell chose these three traps. Every trap required 500 points of popularity. After a day¡¯s live broadcast, Bell¡¯s popularity score was only 2000. ¡°System, you black-hearted merchant!¡± Bell couldn¡¯t help but complain again. It had not been easy for him to earn some popularity points. He had wanted to exchange for some other survival skills. In the end, the sign-in reward was a trap. The knowledge was there but with no matching methods. Although his heart ached, Bell still chose to exchange. As Bell confirmed the information on the three skills, they quickly appeared in his mind. The sky began to light up. Some audience members who were concerned about Bell¡¯s safety began to persuade him. ¡°Host, it¡¯s already dawn. It¡¯s not as dangerous as before. Why don¡¯t you quickly send the rescue signal?¡± Some people felt that it was not safe for an eight-year-old child like Bell to face these large beasts in the primeval forest. Although Bell appeared very professional, his image made others not dare to guarantee it. But Bell smiled at the comments. ¡°Don¡¯t be nervous. If we fight this wild boar bare-handed, it will be very dangerous. But we can use other methods. Our luck today isn¡¯t too bad. We might even be able to eat wild pork.¡± The audience was stunned when they heard Bell¡¯s words. Then, they reacted. ¡°What host? This can¡¯t be a joke. That¡¯s a wild boar, not a wild rabbit.¡± ¡°Yeah, if you¡¯re not careful, you might lose your life.¡± ¡°My grandfather used to be an old hunter. He told me that if you encounter tigers, black bears, and wild boars in the wild, you have to run away. Even if you have a gun, it can be dangerous.¡± ¡°That¡¯s right, that¡¯s right. Host, even the old hunters don¡¯t dare to do this. You shouldn¡¯t try it.¡± Although the audience wanted to watch the show, they could not bear to see someone die. No one believed that an 8-year-old could hunt wild boars alone. But Bell was determined. He carefully climbed down from the tree and looked around. He bent down and checked the footprints left by the wild boar as well as all the surrounding resources. ¡°Today, I¡¯ll teach everyone how to set traps in the wild.¡± ¡°The resources for traps in the wild are very scarce. We have to find suitable materials to replace them.¡± Bell had already thought of how to set the traps he had just obtained. For the ring trap, he did not have the hemp rope. Fortunately, there were some thick and sturdy plants around, so Bell made them into hemp ropes. It was best to use springs for the spring hook lock trap. But same as the ring trap, he did not have the tool. Fortunately, the thick trees were tough enough. He could also replace the materials with some suitable branches. As for the sharp objects for the lure trap, it was relatively simple. This place was not far from the bamboo forest. In ancient times, some hunters would use bamboo as sharp weapons. Soon, Bell gathered all the materials. It was time to arrange the traps. Chapter 5 Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios Seeing Bell¡¯s small figure moving around, the people in the live-stream turned from anxious to curious. ¡°What is the host doing?¡± Everyone was confused. After gathering the materials, Bell began to explain to everyone. ¡°I believe everyone must be very curious about what I am doing and why I am gathering so much weeds.¡± ¡°It¡¯s actually very simple. It¡¯s definitely impossible to hunt these beasts with our bare hands, but we can use traps.¡± ¡°In ancient times, hunting did not rely on brute force. Most of the time, traps were used.¡± ¡°Of course, the location of the traps and how to set them are also a deep knowledge.¡± Bell carefully observed the ground. Following the footprints of the wild boar, Bell found the tracks of the wild boar. ¡°If you want to hunt in the wild, you have to have good observation skills. Animals will usually act according to their habits and move back and forth between the nest, water, and food points.¡± ¡°We need to find the path it takes to set up the trap.¡± In the end, Bell chose the location with the densest intersection. ¡°Is this possible? I feel like I¡¯ve lived over twenty years in vain.¡± ¡°F*ck, I thought the host was just showing off by wanting to hunt the wild boar. Now, it looks like he might really succeed.¡± ¡°Previous poster, you don¡¯t know how to speak. With the host¡¯s professionalism, it¡¯s not a possibility of success, but a certainty.¡± After choosing the location of the trap, Bell began to busy himself. The selected weeds were constantly rubbed, leaving only thick fibers that were woven into a simple hemp rope. He tested its toughness and felt that it was not enough. Then, he gathered the roots and ropes together and twisted them into one. Finally, feeling that he could not tear it apart, Bell nodded in satisfaction. Of the three traps, the other two were easy to deal with as long as there was a hemp rope. The main thing was the lure trap. The production team did not distribute shovels or any tools like that. He could not dig with his hands alone. He might not be able to dig a deep enough trap even if his hands were worn out. Bell looked around and finally focused on a thick bamboo. After a simple processing of the bamboo, Bell obtained two bent bamboo pieces. He tested it. Although the effect was not as good as the shovel, it could be used. What happened after that was much simpler. ¡°If you want to create this lure trap in the wilderness, you have to dig deep enough.¡± ¡°There are two reasons.¡± ¡°On one hand, it¡¯s because the depth will increase the lethality and penetration of the sharp objects inserted in the pit.¡± ¡°On the other hand, it is to prevent the prey from escaping.¡± ¡°Once a wild creature is injured, it will become ferocious and erupt with even stronger power.¡± ¡°Although we have set up three traps for this wild boar, this lure is the one that is the main one.¡± ¡°The other two traps are mainly used to drive it here.¡± ¡°Therefore, don¡¯t think it troublesome to dig a deep pit.¡± Bell explained as he dug the soil. Soon, a pit nearly three meters deep was dug by Bell. He laid out the sharp bamboo spears he had made in advance. Bell climbed up the pit. The branches and weeds were laid out smoothly. Looking around, Bell climbed the tallest tree. ¡°Now, let¡¯s wait patiently and see how our luck is.¡± Although he had made plans in advance and estimated that this route was the most likely place for the wild boar to appear, there was no guarantee that accidents would not happen. After all, hunting had some chance factor as well. Time passed slowly. There were many viewers in the live-stream, and they were already bored of waiting. ¡°F*ck, can these traps work? And is the place you are in really the right place? We haven¡¯t even seen a rabbit after such a long time.¡± ¡°We believe that the host will not fail. At worst, he can find another place to dig a new trap.¡± ¡°Hehe, dig another one. This is wilderness survival. How can he waste so much time?¡± Some people in the live-stream began to speak sarcastically. But Bell was in no hurry. Bell was relieved to see no other animals appear. This meant that this was the private territory of a beast. Through observing the footprints, Bell confirmed that only the wild boar appeared in this territory. Therefore, he must have chosen the right place. But this could only be told by experience. It was obvious that the layman had no idea about these things. They only wanted to see the scene of the wild boar taking the bait as soon as the trap was set up. The comments in the live-stream became more and more chaotic. However, at this moment, there was a commotion in the distant bush. Bell¡¯s pupils constricted. ¡®It¡¯s here.¡¯ He said inwardly. As if to confirm his thoughts, an over 80 kilogram wild boar suddenly jumped out of the grass. The place it landed was the ring trap that Bell had set up with the thorny brambles. The thorns scratched the wild boar¡¯s flesh, immediately drawing blood. The wild boar retreated in pain. Bell immediately cut off the other end of the rope when he saw the boar stepping on the elastic hook. The thick tree branch acted as a spring, and the hemp rope tightened, hanging the wild boar in midair. Seeing that the wild boar really appeared, the live-stream exploded. ¡°OMG, it worked! It really took the bait!¡± Seeing that the wild boar had really fallen into the trap, the envious people immediately closed their mouths. But Bell stood frowning in the tree. ¡°The handmade hemp rope is still not tough enough. It can¡¯t trap it.¡± Compared to the others¡¯ optimism, Bell saw the flaw in this trap at a glance. As expected, while everyone was still discussing heatedly, the heavy wild boar broke free of the ropes and fell. The sound of something heavy falling to the ground was heard. After suffering two attacks, the wild boar became vigilant. It no longer dared to walk on either side of the path where it had been attacked. Instead, it chose another path. Then, a tragic cry sounded. The lure trap worked. There was a three-meter deep pit and sharp bamboo thorns. As soon as the wild boar fell, it was stabbed in the heart and died a tragic death. The audience in the live-stream finally reacted. ¡°Success, it really succeeded!¡± Seeing that the wild boar fell into the trap and did not crawl out for a long time, and there was even no movement, everyone was relieved. The comments were filled with joy. ¡°Bell¡¯s guardian captain has sent a rocket x1.¡± ¡°Bell¡¯s fan group has sent hot air balloons x 10.¡± ¡°Bell¡¯s auntie fans sent a Porsche x1.¡± Seeing that Bell had really captured the boar, everyone began to send gifts. After all, this was not like fishing and catching snakes. Even an experienced hunter might not be able to capture a wild boar. Bell had undoubtedly created a miracle. However, Bell did not relax. ¡°Everyone, I know you¡¯re all very happy, but I¡¯m sorry, we don¡¯t have time to be happy right now because the smell of blood might attract more dangerous creatures. We have to deal with the corpse as soon as possible.¡± Everyone reacted when they heard that. This wild boar had been attracted here yesterday because of the smell of blood. However, just as Bell¡¯s voice fell, a thunderclap broke the atmosphere. The rain was coming. Chapter 6 Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios In the live broadcast, everyone was originally very excited. However, a sudden clap of thunder broke the atmosphere. Boom! Bell quickly looked up and saw through the dense leaves that a dark cloud had enveloped the entire sky above Shennongjia. After seeing that Bell had really killed the wild boar, everyone was stunned. ¡°Heavens, this is really the most amazing hunter I¡¯ve ever seen!¡± Bear sighed and leaned against the chair, clapping his hands to express his emotions. Ed also let out a strange laugh. He seemed to miss the taste of wild boar meat. When Li Ziqi and the other guests saw that the wild boar was successfully captured, they patted their hearts with lingering fear. ¡°I really did not expect this little friend to succeed.¡± ¡°Yeah, food won¡¯t be a problem for him.¡± ¡°That¡¯s right, looking at the size of this wild boar, if it¡¯s preserved properly, he shouldn¡¯t worry about food for more than ten days, right?¡± ¡°That¡¯s not too realistic. After all, this is meat. It might go bad in just a few days in this season. It might even start spoiling tomorrow.¡± Everyone kept discussing. After hearing the thunder, Bell¡¯s expression relaxed. Bell spread his hands and said half-jokingly to the audience. ¡°Everyone, I have good news and bad news. Which one do you want to hear first?¡± The audience was also curious. They wanted to know what the good news and bad news were. ¡°It¡¯s going to rain. The rain can hide the smell of blood. That way, we don¡¯t have to worry about other creatures chasing after us.¡± Bell smiled. ¡°But now, we have another problem to solve¡­¡± ¡°We don¡¯t have a place to hide from the rain. If such a heavy rain falls, it¡¯s very easy to catch a cold. In this state, the difficulty of Wilderness Survival will increase exponentially.¡± Bell was helpless. He was really unlucky. The audience couldn¡¯t help but pity Bell. However, Bell did not stay still. He quickly packed up the hemp rope and the thorny brambles that he had cut off. Looking at the bleeding boar, he gritted his teeth and made a decision. ¡°There¡¯s nothing we can do. We have to take a gamble. We can¡¯t stand under these trees in the rain.¡± ¡°Everyone should know that the electrical resistance of the human body is much weaker than that of trees. It¡¯s easy to get electrocuted when standing under a tree in this weather.¡± ¡°We can only leave this wild boar corpse here.¡± Bell explained to everyone. However, although he said he was going to leave the corpse here, he did not leave immediately. ¡°In this situation, we have to bury the corpse. Otherwise, if this wild boar is discovered by other large predators, we might not have a share.¡± ¡°I told everyone before that soil can greatly hide the smell of blood.¡± ¡°In addition to the rain, if my luck isn¡¯t too bad, the corpse shouldn¡¯t be discovered for some time.¡± Bell continued to explain while burying the corpse. When the audience saw Bell¡¯s familiar actions, they kept commenting for him. ¡°Good luck, Bell. Hurry up and finish it. Then find a place to avoid the rain. The rain this time should be quite heavy.¡± ¡°That¡¯s right, it won¡¯t be good if you get sick.¡± Perhaps some cold and fever were not a big deal outside. At most, they would rest for two days, but in this dangerous place, even the slightest change in the body¡¯s condition could result in death. Therefore, Bel could not gamble. He had to maintain his peak condition. ¡°Thank you everyone for your concern.¡± Bell did not dare to stop moving, but he still took the time to thank everyone. Seeing Bell¡¯s busy figure, the audience felt their hearts ache. Li Ziqi, the guest in the broadcast room, looked at Bell on the screen and revealed a trace of pity. ¡°It¡¯s really hard to imagine what this child has experienced in the past. The tenacity of his mind is something that ordinary adults cannot compare to.¡± As a craftsman, Li Ziqi usually lived far away from the bustling city, but it was different from this kind of wilderness survival. However, even so, she often had to self-regulate because life in the wild was very lonely. It was a huge test to a person¡¯s character. Li Ziqi asked and answered herself. She might be living away from the bustling city, but she had food and a place to take cover from the wind and rain. But at this moment, Bell was alone in the wilderness. He did not even have a place to hide from the rain. But Bell did not look discouraged. Li Ziqi made a decision in her heart. After this show ended, she would find a chance to interact with this eight-year-old boy and get to know his history. Soon, Bell finished burying the wild boar¡¯s corpse. The rainstorm did not disappoint. It fell heavily along with lightning. Bell could only find a slightly dented area in the hill to hide from the rain. Although it was said to be hiding from the rain, it was actually no different from standing in the rain. Bean-sized raindrops fell on Bell¡¯s face. In just a moment, he was drenched. Everyone felt their hearts ache. Even so, Bell did not forget to explain to everyone. ¡°Everyone, if you don¡¯t have a place to avoid the rain, please ensure that your bodies maintain enough heat.¡± ¡°Our luck isn¡¯t too bad. Remember the fish soup? There¡¯s still some left that can be used to replenish the heat in our bodies.¡± Eating could provide energy to the human body. Bell couldn¡¯t care less about saving food and water. He had to think of a way to survive this rainstorm. ¡°Good lord, the host has it really hard.¡± ¡°After this storm, I¡¯m afraid many contestants will be eliminated.¡± Because of the rain, the comments were already filled. Bell finished drinking the fish soup. The rain still did not weaken. Bell put down his backpack and took out his jacket to cover herself. ¡°This is the only piece of clothing I have to cover myself. To be honest, I wouldn¡¯t have taken it out if I had a choice.¡± ¡°After all, with this jacket, I would have a cushion to lie on at night and avoid catching a cold to a certain extent.¡± ¡°But I feel that if I don¡¯t take it out now, I might not be able to get past this rain.¡± Although the problem was serious, Bell still looked relaxed. Unknowingly, everyone in the live-stream was infected by Bell¡¯s emotions. Everyone was praying for Bell. They prayed that the rain would end soon. Chapter 7 - New Shelter After the Storm Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios Bean-sized raindrops kept falling. Bell was standing against the dented part of the hill. It could not keep out the rain at all. The jacket was draped over his body, barely blocking some of the rain. Unfortunately, it was quickly drenched. His soft hair was stuck on the skin because of the rain. He looked disheveled. The audience prayed for Bell, hoping that the storm would end soon. Time passed slowly. The rain finally stopped. The dark clouds gradually dissipated, and a fiery red color appeared in the sky. The sunset after the rain was especially beautiful. ¡°Wow, the sunset in the wild. This is too beautiful.¡± ¡°Look! There¡¯s a rainbow.¡± Everyone heaved a sigh of relief after the rainstorm. At the same time, they were deeply attracted by the scene. A gorgeous rainbow had appeared in the air. At that moment, the dangerous primeval forest was as beautiful as a painting. Unfortunately, Bell was not in the mood to pay attention to this now. Bell wrung out his clothes. Then, he looked in the direction of the sun. ¡°It¡¯s getting dark.¡± ¡°Although I gained quite a lot today, my luck was not good.¡± ¡°I encountered a rainstorm, and there was no place to take cover from it.¡± ¡°We have to gather as many resources as possible before it gets dark and build a fire to dry our clothes. It will be troublesome if we fall sick.¡± The audience also reacted. While they had the leisure to admire the beautiful scenery, Bell had to think about how to survive. Everyone¡¯s attention was attracted again. ¡°Host, it¡¯s better to start a fire quickly. You might fall sick easily.¡± Some comments suggested. Bell took a look at his clothes and smiled. a€?Thank you for your concern, but we need to do something before we start the fire.a€? Bell looked around and saw some large forest leaves. After confirming that there were no insect bites in the leaves, Bell chose a few and curled them into a funnel shape. Seeing Bell¡¯s actions, everyone was puzzled. What was Bell doing? ¡°Although the rain has caused us some trouble, this is also a gift from nature.¡± ¡°The rainfall in the primeval forest is filtered through evaporation. Compared to the rivers and puddles, this rainwater is much cleaner.¡± ¡°Therefore, we have to gather as much rain as possible.¡± Everyone reacted. The rain had already removed the impurities and pollution in the water. The rain that had just fallen from the sky was cleaner than the clear river water on the ground. After hearing Bell¡¯s explanation, the audience couldn¡¯t help but admire Bell. ¡°Although the host is young, his observation is simply too awesome.¡± ¡°Yeah, among so many contestants, Bell was the first to think of this.¡± ¡°Sigh, I pity those contestants who had to withdraw from the competition because of lack of water.¡± The comments were filled with emotions. Bell did not have time to listen to their sighs. At this moment, he was making the best use of his time to collect the rainwater on these leaves. These actions had to be fast. On one hand, it was because the rain was easy to dry up, and on the other hand, it was because of the time. After the sky darkened, he would not be able to gather any more resources. Time passed slowly. Bell picked many large leaves and gathered the rainwater. After filling ten funnels, Bell stopped. Wiping the sweat from his forehead, Bell heaved a sigh of relief and said, ¡°Alright, everyone, this water should be enough for us for some time.¡± ¡°We need to plan our next step.¡± ¡°We need to build a new shelter.¡± Because of the wild boar, the previous shelter had been completely destroyed. If he wanted to pass the night safely, he had to have a new shelter. Bell was familiar with this and began to search for a suitable place to build a shelter. At the same time, the sky gradually darkened. Because they were in the forest, under the cover of the leaves, the visibility in the forest was lower than outside. The sky outside the forest still had some light, but the forest was already dark. Due to the heavy rain, the female host in the broadcast room was constantly changing the scenes of the contestants on the screen to determine their current situation. If they discovered that some contestants had encountered an accident or did not have the time to send a rescue signal, they could rescue them immediately. ¡°Oh, my god, our contestants are really too pitiful.¡± After watching the contestants, the host couldn¡¯t help but sigh. At this moment, because of the rain, most people were already in bad condition. There were even a few contestants who had no common sense and were directly struck by lightning. Moreover, due to the heavy rain, the contestants had another problem. They had no time to collect food today. Everyone was hungry. ¡°Wilderness Survival is not so simple. Although it is not difficult to survive in this primeval forest, it is not realistic for some layman to survive here safely.¡± ¡°They have just experienced the terror of nature.¡± ¡°Hunger will be the first test for them tonight. If they can¡¯t resolve the food problem tonight, I¡¯m afraid some contestants will withdraw from the competition because of hunger.¡± Bear and Ed analyzed rationally. These contestants on the screen were mostly amateurs. They had not even suffered a beast attack. The contestants who were attacked by the beasts had immediately sent a rescue signal. But even so, these people¡¯s conditions were still worse than Bell¡¯s. On the other hand, Bell had already found a place suitable to be a shelter. ¡°Everyone, look at these two trees. I think we can build a temporary shelter here. How about a hammock?¡± Bell was excited. Seeing that Bell was still so optimistic, the audience was also infected by his emotions. ¡°I turned from an uninterested lurker to a fan. After watching Bell¡¯s live broadcast, I can¡¯t watch other people¡¯s streams at all.¡± ¡°That¡¯s right. I just came from another stream. That contestant looked bitter and vengeful as if we owed him money.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t disturb Bell. Let¡¯s see how he builds this hammock.¡± As the difficulty of survival increased, the number of Bell¡¯s fans gradually increased. Chapter 8 - Using the Boston Ivy as Ropes to Build a Hammock Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios As the number of Bell¡¯s fans increased, the screen was covered in comments. Among the contestants, Bell was already one of the few who received the most attention. With Bell¡¯s age and his professional skills, some lurkers who entered his stream for the first time were converted into his fans. Bell¡¯s reputation was also gradually building. At this moment, Bell, who had chosen his shelter, began to search for materials. ¡°We¡¯re building a hammock. It¡¯s actually very simple, and can only provide us with some stability when we rest at night.¡± ¡°At least with such a hammock, we don¡¯t have to worry about being attacked by wild boars in the middle of the night like yesterday.¡± Bell yawned as he spoke. Because he had been tussling with the wild boar for the entire night, Bell had not gotten much rest. ¡°I¡¯m already a little sleepy, but I can¡¯t rest right now. On one hand, it¡¯s because of the shelter. On the other hand, we have to dry our clothes first.¡± ¡°Sleeping with damp clothes is the easiest way to fall sick.¡± Bell explained while moving. Seeing how exhausted Bell was, many people expressed their heartache in the comments. ¡°Alright, let¡¯s not talk about this. Let¡¯s choose the materials to build the hammock first.¡± ¡°Rope is naturally a very important part of a hammock.¡± ¡°In the wilderness, ropes are an important tool second only to knives.¡± ¡°Many times, it can save your life.¡± ¡°Unfortunately, we don¡¯t have ropes now, but we can find a replacement.¡± Bell looked at a tree in the distance and walked over quickly. ¡°Haha, our luck is good. The toughness of the Boston ivy is enough to be a substitute for the rope.¡± Bell even tugged twice. After weaving a few vines, the toughness of the vines could actually withstand Bell¡¯s pull. ¡°If you see such plants when you are adventuring in the wild, I suggest that you collect some.¡± ¡°Heavens, the host is too hardworking.¡± ¡°I saw that many of the other contestants have already withdrawn from the competition.¡± ¡°Haha, those guys can¡¯t even solve the food problem, unlike Bell.¡± The audience praised Bell generously. It was mainly because they could make a comparison. Compared to the other contestants, Bell¡¯s condition was too good. He had food and water. On the other hand, the other contestants were chewing on tree barks. This was not a joke. It was literally chewing on tree barks, mainly because tree barks usually did not carry any poison. These contestants were really afraid of being poisoned. After a while, Bell had finished weaving the Boston ivy. He then picked two thick wooden branches. After trimming it with the dagger, he used the vines as a rope and tied it around the two sticks, making a stretcher-like shape. Looking at Bell¡¯s smooth operation, everyone was stunned. ¡°What just happened? Why did it finish fast? Why didn¡¯t I see anything?¡± ¡°Haha, you¡¯re not the only one. I was staring at the screen just now. When I lowered my head and drank some water, the stretcher was already prepared.¡± Everyone was amazed at Bell¡¯s speed. Bell also got up and wiped the sweat off his head, feeling a little exhausted. However, he still had a smile on his face as he looked at the stretcher he had created with satisfaction. ¡°Alright, it is finished.¡± ¡°What we need to do now is to fix it between the trees.¡± Bell looked confident. The female host, Bear, Ed, and Li Ziqi watched Bell¡¯s live broadcast with attention. ¡°After experiencing the storm, contestant Bell¡¯s condition doesn¡¯t seem to have declined.¡± The beautiful host looked at Bell and said. Ed nodded. ¡°Not bad, our contestant is very smart. I noticed that he had been drinking fish soup to maintain his body temperature.¡± ¡°This is a very smart move.¡± ¡°It can greatly reduce the possibility of being sick.¡± The people in the broadcast room were constantly analyzing Bell¡¯s actions. At the same time, they saw the stretcher that Bell had just made. ¡°Looks like this contestant is preparing to build a hammock.¡± Bear saw through Bell¡¯s intention. ¡°Hammock?¡± The host was puzzled. She did not know what the two of them meant. Ed smiled and explained. ¡°It seems like our contestant has learned from yesterday¡¯s lesson. In order to avoid the attack of the beasts, he is preparing to build a temporary shelter in the middle of the trees.¡± ¡°The best thing about this hammock is that it can avoid the attacks of the beasts on the ground.¡± ¡°Moreover, since he doesn¡¯t have to sleep on the ground, it will be easier to avoid a cold.¡± After hearing their explanation, the host finally understood what Bell was doing. But soon, a question troubled her. ¡°According to the two of you, this hammock should be placed at a very high position. If it¡¯s too low, it won¡¯t be of much use. But our contestant Bell isn¡¯t tall because of his age. How would he tie it between the trees?¡± When the beautiful host said this, Bear and Ed were stunned. They had also made hammocks, but this height problem did not affect them. Because the two of them were adults, this problem could be resolved easily, but the seemingly small problem became a very difficult thing for Bell. At the same time, everyone in Bell¡¯s live-stream also noticed this problem. Seeing Bell look up at the height of the tree, many people felt that it was a little cute. ¡°LMAO, it¡¯s a pity that the host isn¡¯t tall enough.¡± Bell was helpless. ¡°No need to worry. It¡¯s not a difficult task.¡± Bell used the stretcher as a ladder and stepped onto a tree. He skillfully hung it between the two trees. Then, he covered the ground with thick fallen leaves. ¡°Alright, that¡¯s enough.. At least we don¡¯t have to worry about falling and injuring ourselves when we sleep at night.¡± Chapter 9 - Food Storage, Drying, and Smoking Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios The bed for the night was built. Bell kept himself busy for a while before returning to the hammock. Everything was done with ease. Seeing that Bell was done with the activities, the comments on the screen gradually decreased. The audience also rested. However, with the increasing number of viewers, people from all walks of life had joined. Among them, there were many fans who liked to do video editing. At this moment, they were considering releasing Bell¡¯s live broadcast on video streaming websites. This could also increase Bell¡¯s popularity faster. Bell accepted the suggestion happily. ¡®With the publicity from other platforms, my popularity will increase faster.¡¯ Bell thought to himself. The night passed peacefully, and Bell woke up the next morning. ¡°Ding! Congratulations on obtaining the sign-in reward!¡± ¡°Food preservation techniques will be rewarded this time. Host, do you want to receive it now?¡± The first ray of sunlight appeared. A familiar system notification sounded in Bell¡¯s ear. ¡°Receive. Now.¡± Bell said with his thoughts. He had a wild boar lying under the ground. If he did not use some food preservation technique, the corpse would quickly rot. That would be too wasteful. Bell had thought that if the system did not reward him with these food preservation methods, he would spend his popularity points to exchange for the skill. Although he would empty his reserves, it was better than watching a large pile of pork be wasted. This was a primeval forest. Food and water were very precious things. As Bell spoke, a lot of information appeared in his mind. [Ding! Congratulations to the host for mastering the food preservation skill LVMAX] Sensing the knowledge in his mind, he nodded in satisfaction and got up. ¡°Good morning, everyone. Let me see how many people there are.¡± After getting out of the hammock, Bell greeted the audience. Although it was a little early, there were also some early risers. The screen was still filled with comments, and it did not look empty. Seeing that people were online, Bell was in a good mood. ¡°Everyone is so early.¡± ¡°Our goal today is very simple. Let¡¯s see if the wild boar¡¯s corpse is still there. If it is, the problem of our food can be resolved.¡± In fact, Bell was a little uncertain. After all, it had been an entire night. Although the rain could dilute the smell of blood, the rain had stopped near evening yesterday. No one knew if the smell of blood would seep out from the soil. Bell followed the marks he made and found the place where he had buried the boar. Seeing that there were no claw marks on the ground, Bell heaved a sigh of relief. ¡°Looks like our luck is good. The wild boar was not discovered.¡± Bell said happily. Although it was in such a season, a night¡¯s time did not cause the pork to deteriorate. It took some effort to dig out the soil and pull the wild boar¡¯s corpse up. This wild boar weighed more than 80 kilograms. It was slightly heavier than some adult males. But the audience could not tell it at all in Bell¡¯s hand. ¡°Oh my god, although this isn¡¯t the first time I¡¯ve seen it, seeing the host¡¯s strength is still surprising.¡± Everyone sighed. Bell ignored the comments. His attention was focused on the wild boar¡¯s corpse. ¡°This wild boar is not small. Even in the wild, it would definitely be considered an adult.¡± Bell looked at the wild boar on the ground and explained to everyone. ¡°We definitely won¡¯t be able to finish such a huge wild boar in one meal, but we can think of a way to preserve the wild boar meat.¡± As he said this, Bell began to think about the food preservation technique. ¡°Is the host joking? We don¡¯t have a fridge in the wild. Moreover, how can it be preserved for a long time in this season? We can only eat two meals at most, and the rest can¡¯t be eaten.¡± ¡°Yeah, if you eat rotten meat, it will be no different from taking poison.¡± Many of the audience lived in the city and did not understand how to preserve it in such a season. But this question was not a problem for Bell. ¡°There is a way to preserve it, and it¡¯s not only one way.¡± ¡°Long ago, our ancestors had already found a way to preserve food for a long time. The people of Sichuan are especially proficient in these methods.¡± Bell said mysteriously. ¡°Haha, I¡¯ve already guessed how the host is going to preserve it.¡± There was no lack of Sichuan residents in the comments. After hearing about their hometown¡¯s specialty, someone immediately reacted. ¡°That¡¯s right. The method is actually very simple. Drying or smoking it.¡± ¡°This way, the food can be stored for a long time without turning bad. Good drying or smoking can even ensure that the food will not change taste even after three to five years.¡± ¡°Of course, we need some other materials. We don¡¯t have all of the materials, but we can use what is available to preserve it for a month or two.¡± Bell explained to everyone. One to two months was enough for him to consume all this food. With that, Bell took out the dagger. He began the dissection work. ¡°This wild boar has been dead for an entire night. What we need to do now is to take out its innards and bury them. On one hand, we need to hide its smell like I said before, and on the other hand, the meat can easily turn bad when its innards are ruptured for a long time.¡± ¡°Secondly, we need to choose a storage method.¡± ¡°I¡¯ll explain the dry and smoking methods here.¡± ¡°Everyone can listen and remember this method because this method can not only be used in the wild, but also at home to make some dried meat or smoked food.¡± ¡°If you want dried meat, as the name suggests, you need to dry the water in the food. We naturally need to get rid of the blood first.¡± ¡°This wild boar¡¯s blood has almost completely seeped out. What we need to do next is to remove the fat and cut the meat into strips that are about 0.5cm wide.¡± ¡°The reason I am doing this is to dry it quickly.¡± ¡°We are in the wilderness after all. The weather is unpredictable, so we have limited time.¡± ¡°We also need to make a support tool to let it air dry.¡± ¡°This is relatively simple. Find two wooden sticks and insert them to the ground, then place a wooden stick on them. Do this where the sun is abundant. Put the meat on the stick and let it dry.¡± ¡°The time taken will depend on the degree of sunlight. Normally, it will take about a day.¡± Bell demonstrated as she spoke. Not only was the meat dried, but even the method of smoking was explained to everyone by how to use fire and smoke to dry the food and give it an antibacterial layer. And choosing twigs to burn. There should be some water content in the wood to have the smoking effect. After making sure the fire was not too big, they could place the meat on top to be smoked. Along the way, he had to constantly add these branches with some moisture. Bell demonstrated both methods. The audience obtained knowledge, and Bell obtained a large amount of food. Bell was getting closer and closer to completing the challenge. Chapter 10 - Bells Ship! Set Sail! Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios With enough food and water, Bell was much faster. All he had to do was build a bed before nightfall. Compared to the other contestants, Bell seemed especially relaxed. If he was hungry, he would eat the dried wild boar meat. If he was thirsty, he could drink boiled rainwater. The other contestants were already losing their bearings from starvation. Some even chose to withdraw from the competition. Due to the decrease in contestants, the number of viewers in Bell¡¯s live-stream increased. On the sixth day, Bell finally found the main river. Looking at the river in front of him, Bell smiled. ¡°Everyone, look what we¡¯ve discovered! It¡¯s a river. As long as we follow this river, this mission will be completed!¡± Bell was slightly excited. The people on the screen were also happy for Bell when they saw the river. ¡°Congratulations to the host for becoming the first successful contestant!¡± ¡°Heavens, I really didn¡¯t expect such a young contestant to leave the forest in six days.¡± ¡°I suddenly feel bad for the other contestants.¡± Seeing that Bell¡¯s progress was so smooth, some viewers who had watched the other streamers could not help but compare. But after comparing, they realized that there was no comparison at all. Compared to Bell, the other contestants were too amateurish. Bell was also a little happy. He looked around and finally chose the next course of action. Bell said casually. ¡°Everyone, according to the normal method, we should follow the flow of the river. As long as we do this, we will definitely be able to leave the forest.¡± ¡°But walking is too much of a waste of time. I¡¯m preparing to build a raft to sail across the river. It should let us leave the forest within a day.¡± Bell began searching around. The creation of the raft was not difficult with the tools he had now. He used the dagger to cut hemp ropes and the parachute that he had previously put in the bag. As long as he gathered some raw materials, he could create a qualified raft and a sail. ¡°Our tools aren¡¯t too good. We only have this dagger, so we can¡¯t cut those thick trees.¡± ¡°But bamboo also can float. In that case, let¡¯s use bamboo as a raft.¡± Bell locked onto the target. ¡°I suddenly feel a little excited. The host is too fast. We haven¡¯t seen enough yet.¡± ¡°Where is the host from? Why don¡¯t we have a meal together?¡± ¡°Yeah, the host is so cute. Why don¡¯t we hold a fan meeting?¡± Seeing that Bell was about to complete the challenge, many people began to join in the fun. Bell only smiled and said nothing. He had to leave this place first. Moreover, making a raft was not a simple task. Bell was already familiar with chopping bamboo. After all, almost every time he built a bed, he would choose bamboo. The main reason was that this material was easier to cut and was suitable to cut with his tools. After chopping dozens of bamboo, Bell stopped. He wiped the sweat from his forehead and said to the audience. ¡°The rest is simple. If you¡¯re interested in making the bamboo raft, you can take a look. The bamboo itself has a certain buoyancy.¡± To be honest, he had stored the vines in his bag. It could be used to tie the bamboo raft. Bamboo was lined up side by side. At the same time, Bell did not forget to stabilize every bamboo. In addition to the strengthening of the vines, the bamboo raft was relatively firm. The parachute was used as a sail. A simple sail raft was completed. Looking at the raft, Bell nodded in satisfaction. ¡°This parachute is also one of the production team¡¯s supplies. I wonder if using this thing will affect my results. It won¡¯t be good if I¡¯m judged to have violated the rules¡­¡± Bell said half-jokingly. ¡°This is definitely a competition tool. If anyone asks why such modern technology appeared in the show, we will say that you picked it up.¡± ¡°No problem. Pick up what you lost.¡± The female host in the broadcast room also heard Bell¡¯s complaints. As the number of contestants decreased and Bell was very close to success, this Wilderness Survival became Bell¡¯s solo show. Moreover, Bell could indeed bring them a large audience. The production team had really grasped the secret to getting views. Soon, under the gazes of everyone, Bell brought his bamboo raft to the river. ¡°Alright, it¡¯s time to witness a miracle.¡± Bell even deliberately kept the audience in suspense and moved the sail. ¡°Today is the first day of Bell¡¯s Ship, set sail!¡± He looked very energetic, stirring up the emotions of the audience. ¡°Wow, I¡¯m suddenly looking forward to it. My blood is boiling.¡± ¡°Do you want my treasure? Go, I left everything there.¡± ¡°Nice anime quote!¡± However, just as everyone thought that Bell would float down with the bamboo raft, the bamboo raft swayed and sank. ¡°???¡± This caused a commotion. ¡°What¡¯s going on? The Bell¡¯s Ship has sunk before it can set off.¡± ¡°My youth is over!¡± ¡°Haha, it¡¯s rare to see the host fail. Why does it feel so funny?¡± Bell swam ashore with a depressed expression. ¡°Sigh, it was a bad start.¡± Seeing Bell¡¯s expression, the audience laughed. Bell wrung out his clothes and thought for a moment. ¡°Oh, I remember now. These fresh bamboo have too much water content, so it can¡¯t float properly. Let¡¯s modify it a bit.¡± Bell was busy again. He added dead branches and dried grass between the bamboo. ¡°Withered branches and dried grass also have the ability to float. As long as there are enough, they are not inferior to wood.¡± ¡°Let¡¯s try again this time. It will definitely work!¡± ¡°Good luck, Bell!¡± ¡°All the best, we¡¯ll hold a celebration party for you!¡± Although there was a small mistake earlier, everyone believed that Bell would definitely succeed this time. The boat entered the river and did not sink again. Bell rode down the raft. The civilized world was finally not as far away from him as before. Chapter 11 - The First Player to Succeed Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios When they saw that Bell was finally going down the river, the audience erupted in excitement. ¡°Oh my god, I think our first contestant to successfully leave the primeval forest is here.¡± The female host said excitedly. She even ignored her image and stood up. Ed and Bear also nodded and clapped in agreement. Li Ziqi covered his mouth in shock, her eyes filled with disbelief. ¡°It¡¯s hard to imagine that such a young child can really survive in the wilderness for so many days. Moreover, he¡¯s even more powerful than most professional contestants.¡± Bear sighed. ¡°I think we will be able to see this contestant soon. Let us see where he will go ashore in the end.¡± At this moment, only Bell¡¯s image was left on the screen. As for the other contestants, they were automatically ignored. As long as Bell successfully landed on shore, the show¡¯s selection would be over. Most of the remaining people were just playing along. Although they could survive in the wild, they were clearly too amateur compared to Bell and the others. Most of the time, they relied on luck. Soon, a day passed. Bell was finally discovered by someone. This was no longer a primeval forest, but the civilized world. The forest ranger on the mountain only realized that there was a wooden raft in the river and hurried over, thinking that someone was playing with the water. ¡°Child, don¡¯t play in the river. Come up quickly. This is very dangerous!¡± The forest guard shouted anxiously. However, when he noticed Bell¡¯s appearance, the forest ranger was excited. ¡°You¡­ you¡¯re that live streamer, Bell!¡± The forest ranger was clearly in disbelief. Bell smiled. ¡°Uncle, are you watching the program too?¡± ¡°It¡¯s not just watching! I¡¯m your fan!¡± ¡°Heavens! I thought it was just the effect of the show. I didn¡¯t expect it to be true. You really floated down from the river!¡± The middle-aged man was extremely excited, and he began to speak incoherently. Bell smiled. ¡°Haha, I really didn¡¯t expect to float for so long. I actually floated for a day and night¡­¡± Bell was a little embarrassed. Comments began to appear on the screen. ¡°Wow, the first lucky person to meet the host has already been born!¡± ¡°Damn it, why isn¡¯t it me? Jealousy has changed me beyond recognition.¡± ¡°Uncle, tell me! Where is Bell? I¡¯ll pay 1,000 USD for the address!¡± Some fanatical fans seemed to be eager to see Bell. The forest ranger did not expose Bell¡¯s location. He only looked curiously at Bell¡¯s recording tool. The recording device was like a small drone that kept floating beside Bell. This was specially created by the production team for this show. No matter where it was, it could get signal and record and stream clearly. After seeing Bell and the uncle greet each other, the broadcast room also applauded excitedly. ¡°Our show has already given birth to a champion. He¡¯s our youngest contestant this time. Quickly prepare for the exclusive report.¡± ¡°That¡¯s right, I can¡¯t wait to see this young contestant!¡± ¡°Please bring me along!¡± In the broadcast room, Ed, Bear, the female host, Li Ziqi, and the other guests were all excited, wishing they could meet Bell now. This boy seemed to have many secrets, making everyone curious. After talking to Bell for a while, the forest ranger seemed to come to his senses. He slapped his head and said with a vexed expression. ¡°Look at my memory, I forgot. I have to report to the higher-ups first.¡± Bell nodded. Good lord, this uncle was really too chatty. It made Bell wonder if he had drifted far to the northeast area. News of Bell coming ashore spread, and the news quickly caused a global sensation. Countless hot topics began to shift. Bell became famous. All sorts of discussions and rights to news interviews were going on. Of course, this also included the production team of Wilderness Survival. After bidding farewell to the uncle, Bell returned to his residence. In less than half a day, the Wilderness Survival¡¯s production team came looking for him. The production team was indeed very efficient. At least, they were really professional in finding people. They had already confirmed his location and rushed over. Along with the program team came Bell¡¯s reward. Because it was sent by the production team at the last minute, only the beautiful female host was sent. After seeing Bell, the host was very excited. ¡°My God, Bell, I didn¡¯t expect you to be so cute¡ª¡± The female host thought for a long time but could not find a suitable adjective. However, the word cute was true. Looking at the beautiful host in front of him, Bell was puzzled. ¡°You¡¯ve seen me?¡± ¡°Haha, Bell, you¡¯re a celebrity now. There are many people who have seen you, but I¡¯m different from them. I¡¯m the host for the Wilderness Survival program.¡± ¡°We saw many of your stunning performances on the show.¡± The beautiful host displayed her professionalism and chatted with Bell. Bell finally understood. ¡°Alright.¡± Bell spread his hands to show that he understood. ¡°Mr. Bell¡­¡± The beautiful female host had wanted to call Bell ¡®Mr.¡¯, but with Bell¡¯s age, it was indeed strange to call him a mister. However, if she called him little brother, it would look a little rude on the show. She fell into a dilemma over what to call Bell. This was not a simple interview program. Moreover, Bell¡¯s various abilities made everyone subconsciously ignore his age. After all, this eight-year-old child was a true survival expert. Bell smiled and spoke. ¡°Don¡¯t worry about it. Just call me Bell.¡± The host spoke after obtaining Bell¡¯s approval. ¡°Bell, we came to look for you this time because we want to give you the reward for winning the show. We also want to invite you for an interview. I wonder if you¡¯re willing to accept it?¡± The female host asked carefully. Although Bell was not a celebrity, his influence was not lower than those B-list celebrities. Most importantly, there was a lot of growth potential. Bell thought for a moment and finally nodded. ¡°Alright, I¡¯m willing to accept the interview¡­¡± Chapter 12 - Scarlett Johanssons Attention Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios Hearing the beautiful host¡¯s words, Bell wanted to refuse. However, he remembered that his system demanded popularity. If he was on television, his popularity would increase quickly. He nodded in agreement. ¡°Haha, that¡¯s great, Bell. Tell us when you have time, I¡¯ll arrange the interview.¡± Seeing Bell nod in agreement, the beautiful host was quite happy. Bell thought for a moment and said, ¡°The day after tomorrow then.¡± ¡°I¡¯ve lived in the wild for too long. I need to regulate myself for the next two days.¡± Although Bell had tried his best to ensure the nutrition requirements and various aspects in the wild, it was still the wilderness. Many things were very difficult to manage. Moreover, Bell had to undergo a full body examination. After all, parasites and some pathogens in the wild could easily cause infection. These two days were also to give himself time to prepare. The beautiful host nodded. Bell needed some adjustments, and they also needed to do publicity for the interview. ¡°Alright, in that case, I¡¯ll get someone to fetch you when the time comes.¡± ¡°By the way, Bell, do you have a phone? Can we add each other?¡± Bell nodded and gave his contact details to the female host. The two of them chatted for a while longer before the host left. Bell licked his lips as he watched the female host leave. It had to be said that this female host had a good figure. Most importantly, she was generous and warm. Perhaps because Bell was too young, she was more open with him. Bell stopped thinking. He needed to do various physical examinations in the hospital for the next two days. During this period, the media was constantly building the hype for Bell¡¯s interview. Some viewers who had not watched Bell¡¯s live broadcast before were curious about this name. They couldn¡¯t help but search for the video online. At this moment, the audience fans who had taken the initiative to edit the stream for Bell showed their effect. With Bell¡¯s approval, these videos had already spread online. The videos were uploaded and shared on QQ, bilibili, douyin, tiktok, YouTube, and several other video websites. Some viewers who learned of Bell through the videos were very shocked. ¡°Heavens, it¡¯s really difficult to imagine that such a young contestant would participate in Wilderness Survival!¡± ¡°Is this Bell? I¡¯ve been hearing this name for the past few days!¡± ¡°I¡¯ve watched the shows of Ed and Bear before. Bell¡¯s survival techniques are not inferior to theirs!¡± ¡°Not inferior? Why do I think Bell is the greater expert?¡± ¡°That¡¯s right, that¡¯s right. Look at how many shows Ed and Bear have done. When have they dried the meat?¡± ¡°Mmm, previous poster, don¡¯t dig too far into this. I think this might be a problem of different eating habits according to different countries¡­¡± The comments were heatedly discussing. ¡°I heard that Bell will be doing an interview tomorrow!¡± ¡°Should we go and take a look too?¡± Some fans who lived not far from Bell¡¯s residence began to think. If they could go to the interview venue and meet their idol, that would be great. At this moment, Bell had already become a dazzling new star in the global entertainment industry. This happened not only in China, but also abroad. Apart from the English and Chinese, some of the netizens from other countries who did not know English could not understand Bell¡¯s explanations, but this did not affect their fondness for their idol. After all, survival was a common language of humans. Therefore, some foreign media also seized the opportunity to obtain broadcasting rights and translated the broadcast into various languages. Even Papua New Guinea received the broadcast. Many people wanted to see what this 8-year-old Wilderness Survival participant looked like outside the program. Was he like an ordinary eight-year-old child, or was he still as experienced as he was in the forest? The overwhelming publicity also attracted the attention of some celebrities. Among them, the world renowned actress, Scarlett Johansson, had been flooded with messages about Bell recently. After seeing her fans mention this name repeatedly, she couldn¡¯t help but feel curious. In the bedroom, Scarlett Johansson had just finished washing up and was walking to the computer in a bathrobe. Her long golden hair and the dimples in her cheeks left people intoxicated. Unfortunately, she was alone in the room and no one was there to appreciate this scene. She was just sitting in front of the computer, when she suddenly remembered the name that had been mentioned to her repeatedly over these past few days. ¡°Bell? I heard he is a boy from China.¡± Scarlett muttered. She opened a video streaming site. The moment she opened the site, a large number of video articles popped up. After realizing that Bell was really just an eight-year-old boy, Scarlett Johansson was completely surprised. ¡°How can such a young child participate in the Wilderness Survival?¡± Scarlett Johansson frowned. But as the video progressed, she was gradually attracted to Bell¡¯s performance. ¡°Wow, this works too? I learned something!¡± Looking at Bell¡¯s actions in the video, Scarlett Johansson¡¯s mouth widened in disbelief. Although she looked sweet, her nature was very unrestrained. Otherwise, she would not have acted as the wild Black Widow among the Marvel superheroes. To a certain extent, she did not hate the forest environment and was even interested in experiencing the wild. However, the busy life of a celebrity prevented her from doing so. Soon, she fell in love with the Wilderness Survival program. Then, she searched the videos of the other contestants, but this search poured cold water on her. There was nothing remarkable about them to the point of being boring. Scarlett Johansson finally understood why Bell was so popular. He was completely different. Seeing the other contestants dizzy from hunger, while Bell happily ate the smoked pork, he almost made the Wilderness Survival into a food show. But it also made her understand how amazing Bell was. Under the same harsh condition, he was able to show a professional mindset and gather such resources. Scarlett¡¯s character of joining the fun emerged, and she started browsing the comments. After browsing through all the interesting content of Bell¡¯s streams, Scarlett Johansson pressed the pause button. ¡°Sigh, what a pity. It would be great if I could watch the live broadcast. Maybe I can get to know him.¡± Scarlett Johansson regretted it. She had been shopping for the past two days and had not surfed the Internet much. She had not paid much attention to the happenings around the world. Suddenly, she saw a message. ¡°Bell will be doing an interview at XX Station tomorrow. It will be broadcast live. Stay tuned!¡± Scarlett Johansson¡¯s eyes lit up again. Chapter 13 - The Interview Begins Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios Bell¡¯s interview was being prepared. The media from all over the world were focusing on it. Early in the morning, Bell received a message from the host. ¡°Hello, Bell, where are you now? Are you free tonight? If you are okay with it, the live broadcast will be tonight.¡± The beautiful host asked Bell about his schedule. This was definitely not a treatment that ordinary people could receive. Even ordinary A-list celebrities had to listen to the arrangements of the program team. Bell received this honor today. Bell did not put on airs. ¡°I have time today. You can decide the time.¡± Bell¡¯s soft voice came from the phone. Seeing that Bell was so easy to talk to, the host had a more favorable impression of Bell. ¡°Alright. We¡¯ll arrange a time to pick you up.¡± After chatting for a while, Bell got out of bed and washed up. Although there was no survival stream to do, Bell did not stay idle. He opened his streaming channel. Although Bell had successfully passed, there were still many contestants who had yet to escape and were still trapped in the primeval forest. He had decided to transform into a commentator and watch the contestants¡¯ streams with the other audience. This stream would also attract some popularity for him. The main reason was that Bell¡¯s videos were becoming more and more widespread. Many people in the live-stream were attracted by his reputation. Although they knew that Bell was no longer in the Wilderness Survival, they still clicked on his stream curiously when they saw that the live-stream was open. Seeing that Bell was commenting on the other contestants, many people wanted to know what Bell¡¯s actions would do when he faced the issues of the other contestants. What was the better method? ¡°The host is streaming again? I heard that the host is going to be interviewed today, and it¡¯s even going to be live. Is that true?¡± As soon as Bell went online, a large number of fans entered the live-stream. ¡°Are we finally going to see Bell outside of the wilderness? I wonder if he¡¯s as cute as in the wild.¡± ¡°Host, I¡¯ll be there. Can I ask for your autograph?¡± Questions kept popping up. Bell was surprised. This level of activity was indeed a little high. In his opinion, only active A-listers could have such popularity. He did not expect himself to be so popular. Bell thought for a moment and said. ¡°The live interview tonight is indeed true.¡± ¡°And there should be interaction with the audience as well.¡± ¡°As for the autograph, as long as it¡¯s not on the IOU, I will sign it.¡± Bell joked. The comments were filled with laughter again. Soon, it was evening. Bell was picked up and sent to the production team¡¯s dressing room. After reaching the dressing room, Bell caused a commotion again. When the group of female makeup artists saw Bell, they immediately screamed. Then, without caring about the makeup, they grabbed Bell and started asking him all sorts of questions. In the end, the director reminded them that there was no time. They stopped questioning Bell and focused on dressing him up. Because Bell was a child, his makeup was relatively simple. He only needed to dress well and did not need to put on any heavy makeup. But even so, Bell, who had fair skin and a little baby fat, attracted the gazes of the women. They wanted to hug Bell and pinch his cheeks. However, because the live broadcast was about to begin, they had no choice but to give up on this plan. The program was arranged to be broadcast in prime time by the leaders of the station, and the duration was a full one and a half hours. This was definitely a long time, and was extravagant. Not to mention the interview, just the advertisement fee alone was an astronomical figure. And most of the broadcast time would be used on Bell. Bell was aware that the remaining time was probably reserved for the various sponsors. In other words, he would be the only protagonist in the prime-time slot. There would be no other competition. Bell was very surprised. ¡°All right, Bell, get ready to go on stage.¡± The director¡¯s voice came from the earpiece. Following that, they heard cheers as the screen slowly opened. Bell walked up calmly. ¡°Hello, I¡¯m Bell. Nice to meet you all.¡± Bell was wearing formal attire and looked like a little man. Coupled with his slightly mature posture, he looked indescribably adorable. As soon as he went on stage, Bell caused a cheer. ¡°Oh my god, this is Bell? He wasn¡¯t this cute when I saw him in the videos. Isn¡¯t this too much?¡± ¡°Yeah, yeah. It¡¯s very difficult to imagine that such a young child is actually an expert in wilderness survival.¡± ¡°Bell, we love you!¡± There were some fans who had watched Bell¡¯s stream before, and some who had not watched the live stream. After greeting the crowd, Bell sat opposite the female host. It was not just this station. This was being broadcast over live-stream platforms, radio stations, television stations, and mobile platforms simultaneously. This was definitely a huge traffic flow. The female host began to ask conventional questions. Because Bell was relatively young, there was not much entertainment information that could be extracted from him. Most of it was about the survival methods of Bell. For example, how did Bell learn this knowledge and grasp it so quickly? And who taught him. Bell¡¯s answer was a mixture of truths and lies. Of course, he could not tell them about the system. He naturally combined his knowledge from his previous life in the special forces to answer some misleading questions. However, halfway through the conversation, the female host invited a few guests. These guests were none other than Li Ziqi, Bear, and Ed. Li Ziqi took the initiative to sit beside Bell. ¡°Hehe, Bell, you should have heard of this person. On YouTube, Li Ziqi is very popular, not inferior to you at all.¡± ¡°This time, Li Ziqi took the initiative to join the program to see you.¡± The beautiful host introduced. Li Ziqi blushed, but she quickly composed herself. After all, Bell was only an eight-year-old child.. It was understandable that she liked him. Chapter 14 - The Second Round Begins Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios As the live interview continued, the viewership ratings of the program were also increasing. The entire world was paying attention to Bell. After a simple conversation with the production team, it was Audience Interaction time. Of course, this was mainly about signing autographs. Bell was not stingy. After nearly two hours, the program was finally completed. The audience at home and the live audience were all looking very unsatisfied. Even the beautiful host and Li Ziqi were the same. Bell¡¯s intelligence and conduct were not like an eight-year-old child at all. Instead, his behavior was like a mature adult. Of course, they did not know that Bell was a transmigrator. However, this also made the effect of the show abnormally good. Because of the program¡¯s viewership, the leaders of the station had already come to the broadcast room and were looking at the few people inside excitedly. When Bell came out, the leaders shook his hand excitedly, as if they had seen a gold ingot. No, it should be called a money tree. They did not expect a program to create a new high in viewership. In just two hours, the station had made a lot of money. Bell¡¯s reputation continued to build. Even the beautiful female host¡¯s popularity soared. After leaving the live-stream, Bell was about to return to his residence when he was stopped by Li Ziqi. ¡°Bell.¡± Li Ziqi called softly from behind. Bell turned around. ¡°What¡¯s the matter, Sister Ziqi?¡± Because he was too young, Bell could not call her by her name, and could only call her sister. However, this term ¡®sister¡¯ made Li Ziqi feel delighted. She walked to Bell¡¯s side and pinched his baby face. ¡°Nothing, I just wanted to ask you to give me an autograph. I¡¯m also a fan of yours. I couldn¡¯t ask you for an autograph on the show just now, so I came to look for you after the show. Why didn¡¯t you wait for me?¡± Li Ziqi pinched Bell¡¯s face again. Bell scratched his head awkwardly. ¡°Sorry, sister, I left in a hurry.¡± ¡°Of course, I can sign it. Where do you want the signature?¡± ¡°Sister Li, do you also like wilderness survival streams?¡± Bell asked curiously. Li Ziqi rolled her eyes. ¡°What do you mean I like it too? You must have not watched my videos, right? Go back and quickly catch up on it.¡± Li Ziqi did not explain. Instead, she asked Bell to watch her videos. Li Ziqi¡¯s videos were mainly about handicrafts and life in the mountains. Although it was not fierce like the Wilderness Survival, it was also a raw scene of nature. To a certain extent, the two were similar. Hearing Li Ziqi¡¯s rebuke, Bell smiled in embarrassment and changed the topic. ¡°I understand. You should tell me where to sign.¡± As if sensing Bell¡¯s embarrassment, Li Ziqi¡¯s eyes rolled and she smiled playfully. ¡°I have changed my mind. You actually didn¡¯t watch my videos. You¡¯re not giving me face. I¡¯ll have to punish you.¡± ¡°Huh?¡± Bell was at a loss. Wasn¡¯t it normal that he had not watched the videos? Why was there a punishment? Seeing how Bell seemed to be a little embarrassed, Li Ziqi was in a good mood. Then, she stroked Bell¡¯s soft hair. ¡°Alright, what are you afraid of? It¡¯s time to have dinner. Your punishment is to accompany me.¡± Li Ziqi smiled. Bell heaved a sigh of relief. ¡°Of course.¡± Seeing Bell agree, she smiled happily. Li Ziqi was not old. With her outstanding appearance and simple outfit, and a delicate-looking child like Bell by her side, the number of people who turned their heads immediately increased. At the dining table, Li Ziqi gave Bell a different interview. Li Ziqi was very curious about Bell. She wanted to know how he had trained those life skills. After all, it was difficult to understand that a child had such proficiency. Bell responded vaguely. Time passed quickly. Bell ate a lot of food while answering Li Ziqi¡¯s questions. The plates beside him had already piled up into a small tower. ¡°Sister Ziqi, I¡¯m done eating. Are you done?¡± Li Ziqi finally reacted. ¡°Oh my god, Bell, with such an appetite, can you really eat your fill in the wild?¡± Li Ziqi, who had been asking about Bell¡¯s experiences, finally reacted. She looked at the mountain of plates and was speechless. Bell smiled. ¡°It¡¯s not easy to survive in the wilderness.¡± Seeing Bell¡¯s smile, Li Ziqi suddenly felt her heart ache. Through this short interaction, Li Ziqi treated Bell like her younger brother. Their relationship was getting deeper. At the same time, Scarlett Johansson looked at Bell¡¯s live interview with a curious expression. ¡°Interesting, this little boy from China is really interesting. I really want to meet him.¡± Bell looked like a little adult, and his cute face attracted her deeply. There seemed to be a magical power on him. It made her very curious. The influence of Bell¡¯s reputation was still spreading. Time passed little by little. After nearly a week, all the contestants in Wilderness Survival were either eliminated or passed the challenge. During this period, Bell did not stay idle. He took on the role of a special guest in the competition and explained some knowledge about Wilderness Survival to everyone. This also allowed Bell¡¯s channel to accumulate a lot of popularity. At the same time, it also made him notice the other able contestants. Compared to Bell, most of the contestants looked to be quite weak. They looked to be starving or were injured. After the challenge ended, the audience was still unsatisfied. It seemed like they were not tired of this kind of program. Instead, they were even more looking forward to the next challenge. Compared to other entertainment programs, Wilderness Survival seemed more real. It could also let the people in front of the screen see a different scene than their daily lives. Seeing that the response was so good, the production team announced something after just a day. It was the same beautiful female host. ¡°Our first round is over, and the candidates for the competition have been selected.¡± ¡°Soon, we will begin the second round.¡± The host paused for a moment, and a trace of light flashed across her eyes as she continued, ¡°However, the rules this time are different from the preliminary round. This time, we will invite celebrities from all over the world who are interested in Wilderness Survival to form a two-man team with our contestants to survive in the primeval forest.¡± ¡°Everyone, wait and see how the two-man team will face the challenges of the primeval forest.¡± Chapter 15 - Europe, the Alps Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios The audience immediately became excited. ¡°Great, I didn¡¯t expect the production team to be this amazing. They¡¯re preparing for the next round so soon.¡± ¡°Looks like the show¡¯s viewer ratings were very good. Otherwise, the production team would definitely not have been able to decide on the second round so quickly.¡± ¡°What about Bell? Will he participate?¡± After the first round of selection, Bell had already become a hot favorite to win the championship. Many foreign websites had opened bets for this. There were also bets on whether Bell would win. Seeing everyone¡¯s question, the beautiful host smiled. ¡°I know what everyone wants to ask.¡± ¡°I can tell everyone clearly that every contestant who passes the first round can decide whether they want to participate in the second round or not.¡± ¡°I believe that as the seeded player this time, Bell will not give up. After all, the wilderness has never been a challenge to him.¡± After the previous interview, the host seemed to be very confident in Bell. After hearing the host¡¯s confirmation, the audience cheered. ¡°Haha, this is great. Our Bell will participate in this competition too. We can watch Bell¡¯s live broadcast again.¡± ¡°Everyone, spread this to increase Bell¡¯s popularity.¡± Bell, who was still resting in the hotel, suddenly became more popular. The system was inactive since he was not in a wilderness survival scenario; otherwise, he would have gained a lot of popularity points. The female host was still slowly introducing the program¡¯s plan to everyone. ¡°For this round, our contestants will be heading to Europe¡¯s Alps.¡± ¡°As everyone knows, the Alps is one of the most popular tourist attractions in Europe.¡± ¡°The scenery here is beautiful.¡± ¡°120 million people visit these mountains every year.¡± The beautiful female host spoke as the screen behind her slowly changed to show the scenes of the Alps mountain range that were connected like hooks. The aerial view gave a feeling of magnificence. This beautiful scene was mesmerizing. ¡°Heavens, is this the Alps? I heard of it but I¡¯ve never been there. It looks so beautiful.¡± Many people praised from the bottom of their hearts. Sensing that the audience¡¯s emotions were stirred, the beautiful host suddenly changed the topic. ¡°However, although this place is beautiful, it is also accompanied by danger.¡± ¡°The Alps itself is between tropical and subtropical latitudes.¡± ¡°This also causes it to have differences in climate in different parts.¡± ¡°The rainfall in the mountain range is also much higher than in other environments.¡± ¡°The beautiful weather here is not friendly to the survivalists. Instead, it is like a sharp blade that can take the lives of the survivalists at any time.¡± ¡°Hundreds of professional climbers and hikers die here every year.¡± ¡°Clearly, blind courage is not enough to let them survive here.¡± The beautiful host¡¯s expression turned solemn. The audience seemed to be very nervous as they secretly swallowed their saliva. They were clearly shocked by this situation. ¡°I didn¡¯t expect the Alps to be so dangerous.¡± ¡°I wanted to travel there before.¡± Hearing the female host¡¯s explanation, many people were disheartened. Fortunately, the beautiful host had a good grasp of the situation. Sensing the nervous mood of the audience, she quickly changed the topic. ¡°You don¡¯t need to be too worried. The usual places for traveling have already been developed. There is enough security that will not affect your trip.¡± Everyone was relieved. Although Wilderness Survival was very enjoyable, the audience did not want to experience it themselves. They did not have Bell¡¯s ability. They could eat smoked meat in the wilderness, but the food most contestants ate was indescribable. Just thinking about it would make them vomit their dinner out. The head of the Alps tourism industry heaved a sigh of relief. Good lord, with the popularity of Wilderness Survival, if they said that the Alps were too dangerous, their tourism industry might suffer a blow. Fortunately, the beautiful host was quite sensible and did not involve the tourism industry. Seeing that it was about time, the host began to introduce the mission. ¡°We have informed you of the location.¡± ¡°This time, the mission is to cross the Alps and find the village at the foot of the mountain.¡± ¡°It¡¯s not easy to cross the Alps. They have to think of a way to cross the glacier and, if necessary, have to crawl along the mountain ridges.¡± ¡°Someone might even die from parachuting.¡± Because the mountains of the Alps were covered in snow all year round, there was a thick layer of ice there. Once the contestants made a mistake in parachuting, they might fall into the cracks of the ice, and the chances of survival were not high. Knowing the danger of this mission, the audience were filled with anticipation and fear. Only when they were facing the power of nature would they feel the terror of nature. Just a simple climate could very well take one¡¯s life. Humans seemed so fragile in front of nature. Fortunately, there were brave humans who dared to challenge nature and the unknown. After experiencing the initial fear, the crowd began to look forward to it. After all, in this low temperature, the survival difficulty was definitely double that of a warm rainforest. Even if they had enough food and water, they might freeze to death here. The atmosphere was almost settled. The host smiled and said. ¡°To be honest, I¡¯m looking forward to it. I want to know how our contestants will face this challenge of nature.¡± ¡°The show will begin the day after tomorrow. Our contestants have already entered the preparation stage. Please stay tuned.¡± The promotional event came to an end. The internet was in an uproar again. The news of the second round of Wilderness Survival spread like wildfire. Everyone online was discussing fervently. After knowing that it would be a two-man group, Scarlett Johansson blinked and thought of something. ¡°Maybe I can give it a try.¡± Her eyes were filled with anticipation. Chapter 16 - Double Jump! Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios Under everyone¡¯s anticipation, two days passed quickly. On the plane, Bell looked helpless. The one sitting beside him was no other than Scarlett Johansson. Scarlett Johansson was looking at him curiously. Ever since this woman stepped on the plane, she had been staring at him non-stop. Even Bell was a little afraid. Seeing that the woman was not moving even though they were about to parachute, Bell asked, ¡°Miss, why are you looking at me like that?¡± Bell did not know what to do when faced with such a gaze. If it had been in his previous life when he was in the special forces, he definitely would not mind getting close to her and having a wonderful relationship. But now, his body was that of an eight-year-old child. Bell was not narcissistic that he would think the other would take a fancy to him with his age. Moreover, judging from the other party¡¯s gaze, it was probably not the first time she had seen him, unlike the others who were matched randomly with the contestants. Scarlett Johansson smiled and said, ¡°Haha, it¡¯s nice to meet you, Bell. I¡¯m Scarlett Johansson. Just call me Scarlett.¡± The woman stroked the golden hair beside her ear, looking very attractive. Even the instructor swallowed secretly. However, Bell did not feel that way. Maybe a person¡¯s thoughts had to do with their age, thought Bell. Seeing Bell¡¯s dazed expression, Scarlett Johansson was amused. ¡°I¡¯ve admired you for a long time. I spent a lot of effort trying to match up with you.¡± Scarlett Johansson said bitterly. Bell was even more confused. He could only smile awkwardly and scratch his head. ¡°Then I¡¯m sorry, miss.¡± ¡°Please take care of me for the time being.¡± ¡°My name is Bell. Just call me by my name.¡± After all, they were going to be teammates for this round, and Bell could not refuse her. He introduced himself simply. Unexpectedly, just as he finished speaking, Scarlett Johansson pulled Bell to her side and pinched Bell¡¯s little face. Then, she hugged him. Bell felt a stuffy sensation and quickly broke free. His little face turned red. There was a milky scent at the tip of his nose. Before Bell could speak, Scarlett Johansson spoke first. ¡°Haha, you¡¯re really cute.¡± The woman seemed to be unsatisfied and tried to pull Bell, but Bell dodged. At this moment, Bell was like an extremely shy boy. He did not look like a child at all, making Scarlett Johansson laugh again. Just as she was about to continue teasing, the instructor spoke. ¡°The target location has been reached. Everyone, get ready to jump.¡± Hearing the instructor¡¯s words, Bell heaved a sigh of relief. He turned around and looked at Scarlett Johansson. ¡°Do you know how to parachute?¡± Before he could finish, he saw Scarlett Johansson skillfully carry her parachute backpack and make a flying kiss gesture in front of Bell. She winked and jumped down without hesitation. Seeing this, Bell curled his lips. ¡°I seem to have been teased.¡± The instructor was filled with envy. He patted Bell¡¯s shoulder and gave him a thumbs up. He even revealed a look that all men understood. Bell was speechless. He thought to himself, ¡®I¡¯m only eight years old. This is illegal.¡¯ However, Bell did not waste any more time. His teammate had already jumped down. If he delayed any longer, the two of them might be separated. After putting on his equipment, Bell jumped down. Extreme cold air hit Bell¡¯s face. Fortunately, he had the goggles to block the wind and snow. With Bell¡¯s parachuting skills, it was impossible for him to deviate too far from his teammate. As soon as Scarlett Johansson landed, Bell followed. They were less than a hundred meters apart. The audience also exclaimed. ¡°Bell¡¯s parachuting skill is simply perfect. It still looks unbelievable even though I am seeing it the second time. This accuracy is simply terrifying.¡± ¡°That¡¯s right. Many contestants were already separated from their teammates when they landed.¡± ¡°If they get separated, haha, then these celebrities will probably suffer.¡± ¡°What¡¯s there to be afraid of? Didn¡¯t they always brag that they can endure hardships and endure tough filming conditions? It¡¯s time to verify their words. This program is broadcast 24 hours a day.¡± Hearing that the contestants and celebrities were separated, the audience clearly wanted to watch the show. Of course, there were also some fanboys and fangirls who wanted to protect their celebrities and questioned the production team. After landing, Bell quickly packed his parachute. Scarlett Johansson walked over and asked curiously as she watched Bell. ¡°Why are you storing these things? The snow here is so heavy, they won¡¯t work as a tent.¡± ¡°Do you want to tie us together?¡± Clearly, she had done some research before participating in the show. She knew that it was very dangerous for the two of them to be separated in the snow. Moreover, in such weather at the top of the Alps, simple tents were useless against the cold. Therefore, it was not very useful to put away the parachute like in the previous round. Bell shook his head. ¡°No, it¡¯s impossible to set up a tent in this weather. Put away your parachute quickly and tie the ropes to your legs. Then, use the parachute to hold as much snow as possible. Let¡¯s slide down.¡± ¡°After increasing its size, it can prevent us from falling into the ice crack.¡± ¡°Even if we really fall into the ice, we can pull ourselves up through the ropes.¡± Bell explained to Scarlett Johansson. Scarlett Johansson¡¯s eyes lit up and she clapped happily. ¡°Haha, I knew it was definitely not wrong to follow you.¡± Scarlett Johansson was as happy as a child. In front of Bell, their ages seemed to have reversed. The eight-year-old Bell became the older brother, while the twenty-eight-year-old Scarlett Johansson became the little sister who was taken care of. The audience inexplicably felt a sense of a couple forming up. ¡°Why does it feel like these two are quite happy to be in a team?¡± ¡°Please tell me I¡¯m not the only one who thinks so.¡± The audience began to joke in the comments. Chapter 17 - Deadly Weather Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios Bell and Scarlett were very fast. It took them just a short while to finish their preparations. While the others were still enduring the cold and snow on the mountaintop, Bell had already led Scarlett down the mountaintop. Scarlett Johansson was like a child who had succeeded in skiing for the first time. She kept exclaiming. There were some fans of Scarlett on Bell¡¯s stream. After all, she was one of the top female celebrities in the world. With her outstanding appearance and acting skills, Scarlett Johansson¡¯s number of fans was higher than Bell¡¯s. However, no one had seen this unrestrained side of Scarlett Johansson. Some of the fans shouted in Bell¡¯s live-stream. ¡°My goddess! Return our goddess to us!¡± Scarlett Johansson had never shown such a wild side to anyone. However, Scarlett Johansson did not seem to care about it. She continued to have fun. Soon, the two of them left the mountaintop. Bell heaved a sigh of relief after leaving the mountaintop. ¡°Alright, everyone, we are temporarily out of danger.¡± After confirming that Scarlett was fine, Bell said to the audience. ¡°Although there is no danger of falling into the ice crack, we still have to be careful.¡± ¡°The sun is out, and the snow here will soften a little. At the same time, because of the high altitude, we might suffer from altitude sickness.¡± ¡°To put it simply, you will feel that oxygen is scarce. You will feel nauseous and have difficulty breathing.¡± As if afraid that some might not understand altitude sickness, Bell explained again. Seeing Bell like this, Scarlett Johansson walked over and pressed her pretty face against the camera. ¡°Hello, I¡¯m Scarlett Johansson. I¡¯m glad to be on this show with Bell.¡± ¡°Also, let me tell you a secret. I¡¯m a fan of Bell too.¡± As a top celebrity, Scarlett Johansson naturally did not have stage fright. At the same time, she was very good at adjusting the mood. The two of them appeared on the screen together, instantly making the audience cry out in surprise. ¡°I don¡¯t know who to envy. I want to pinch Bell¡¯s chubby face.¡± ¡°Goddess, please come close to me.¡± The fans of both sides began to get excited. Seeing Scarlett Johansson walk into his screen, Bell was a little helpless. Then, he continued to explain. ¡°Alright, everyone, we need to be quick. I¡¯ll give everyone another hint. If you¡¯re walking in the snow, try to wear sunglasses.¡± ¡°If you watch the snowy scene for a long time, you might get snow blindness.¡± Hearing that it was easy to lose sight, Scarlett Johansson was shocked. ¡°Bell, should we have brought some protective equipment?¡± Blindness was not a joke. In this wilderness survival environment, blindness was no different from death. Bell shook his head. ¡°We don¡¯t need it. We will move out of here in the shortest time possible.¡± Bell said confidently. Looking at Bell, Scarlett Johansson couldn¡¯t help but feel dazed. In front of Bell, she seemed to be the one being taken care of. By the time she reacted, Bell had already walked forward. ¡°Hey, wait for me.¡± Scarlett pursed her lips and followed. The two of them walked one behind the other, mainly to avoid danger. If anything happened to the person in front, the person behind could still save the one in front. The experienced Bell naturally walked in front. As for the adult Scarlett, she walked behind Bell like a child being taken care of. From time to time, there would be few comments ridiculing her that made her face turn red. Her personality was quite domineering, but she could not be domineering in front of Bell at all. The two of them walked along the ridge. Behind the ridge was a huge valley, but unfortunately, it was uninhabited. Bell looked at the sky and said. ¡°We don¡¯t have much time. It¡¯s going to be dark soon. We have to find the way down the mountain as soon as possible.¡± Scarlett followed behind. Hearing Bell¡¯s serious tone, she nodded seriously. As a teammate, she was quite competent. She would not cause any trouble for Bell, and would follow his instructions. The two of them had a tacit understanding. The snow on the Alps mountain was nearly a meter high. Walking on it was like stepping on white sugar. It would definitely consume a lot of energy. Even Bell felt tired after walking for such a long time Scarlett definitely did not feel good either, but she did not say a word. Many of the male and female celebrities in the other live-streams were already regretting participating in this program. Not only did they not help the contestants, they even became a burden. This made the already not very professional players¡¯ situation even worse. Some of them even started arguing. Faced with the harsh living environment, their idol nature had long fallen to the side. Bell did not know about this. After confirming the direction, he quickened his pace while explaining. ¡°In such a place, the clouds in the sky are the best indicators of climate conditions. If the clouds in the sky look heavier, there might be bad weather ahead. We have to hurry.¡± The clouds above Bell seemed abnormally thick, as if they were about to fall on top of everyone. However, it seemed to confirm Bell¡¯s words. The weather soon darkened, and the snowstorm increased. The road before them had already become very blurry. Scarlett asked worriedly. ¡°Bell, if we continue like this, will it be dangerous? We can¡¯t see the path anymore.¡± Bell gritted his teeth and looked at the sky. Finally, he nodded. ¡°We can¡¯t continue.¡± ¡°We need to dig a snow cave first and build a shelter.¡± ¡°Choose a slope to avoid the wind. This will save some effort.¡± As they spoke, the two of them changed their plans. The weather became even more severe. Chapter 18 - Digging the Snow Cave and Preserving Body Temperature Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios As the snowstorm intensified, Bell no longer dared to delay. ¡°Hurry, we have to move faster. The sun is about to set. In such an environment, the temperature will drop extremely low.¡± ¡°If you continue walking, you will just sweat from the exercise. After the sweat evaporates, it will take away most of your body temperature, and you can die from hypothermia.¡± Bell said solemnly. Hearing that the situation was so serious, Scarlett did not dare to delay. She immediately followed Bell and got busy. ¡°What can I help you with, Bell?¡± ¡°Hurry up and pull out the bag frame. Use this to dig a hole in the snow.¡± The two of them did not have any tools on hand, so they could only use what they had. Scarlett nodded and immediately took out the frame that held her bag. The two of them began to dig. After knowing that the situation was so serious, the audience couldn¡¯t help but worry for the contestants. ¡°Go, Bell!¡± ¡°Go, goddess!¡± The screen was filled with comments. Bell was in no mood to pay attention to this. All his energy was focused on digging the hole. Only with a place to avoid the snow could the two of them safely survive the crisis. Bell said to Scarlett while digging the snow hole. ¡°Be careful when digging. You have to dig deep first and then expand horizontally.¡± ¡°When you reach a hard surface, you can start clearing the snow. Try to create a flat surface. We might have to rest here tonight.¡± Digging a hole in the snow also required some skills. Although the snow in this place that was covered in snow all year round was already very hard and could completely withstand the weight of a human body, if one accidentally lost support, it was still easy to collapse. Scarlett dug carefully. Bell nodded. It seemed like his teammate was quite reliable. Soon, the two of them touched the hard surface that Bell had mentioned. Scarlett Johansson was exhausted. Looking at the busy Scarlett, Bell thought for a moment and stopped her. ¡°Save your strength and don¡¯t sweat too much. Let me do it.¡± At this moment, Bell was like an adult man, giving Scarlett Johansson an inexplicable sense of security, making her look dazed. But soon, Scarlett reacted and quickly shook her head. ¡°How is that okay? You¡¯re so young. How much strength do you have? Let me do it.¡± She wanted to snatch the frame and continue digging, but was stopped by Bell. ¡°I¡¯m more professional than you here. You have to listen to me.¡± Bell¡¯s tone was unquestionable. Scarlett froze, then finally relented. Seeing that the other party was no longer fighting with him, Bell began to work in peace. ¡°Alright, everyone, we have cleared the snow. What we need to do now is to create a surface. This is our resting place. The size of the surface is about three times the size of a human body. Because if it¡¯s too big, it will be difficult to maintain the temperature. If it¡¯s too small, once it collapses, we will easily be crushed to death.¡± Bell explained to the audience. Scarlett was fascinated by the serious look on Bell¡¯s face. ¡°He is even better than what I saw in the video.¡± She muttered to herself. Although her voice was soft, she had forgotten one thing: the live broadcast equipment beside her. The words just now were heard by all the audience. ¡°The goddess is tempted.¡± ¡°No, he¡¯s just a child.¡± ¡°Isn¡¯t it better if it¡¯s a child? She can groom him into a husband material?¡± ¡°Are you going to experience the happiness of a rich woman?¡± Some audience members teased. Scarlett finally realized that there was something wrong with her words and quickly waved her hand. ¡°I, I¡­ That¡¯s not what I meant. Don¡¯t speak nonsense.¡± Although she was denying it, her panicked expression made it seem like she was trying to hide something. As if to ease the awkwardness, Scarlett followed behind Bell and began clearing the snow for him, doing some simple, not too physically exhausting work. The snow hole was dug quickly, just enough to accommodate two people. Looking at the narrow snow cave, Scarlett felt a sense of accomplishment. After all, she had built it with Bell. However, while she was still feeling satisfied, Bell took off his gloves and began to touch the snow above his head with his chubby little hand, as if he wanted to melt the snow with his body temperature. ¡°What is the host doing? Won¡¯t your hand freeze?¡± ¡°Yeah, stop it. What are you doing?¡± Some of the audience who had not built a snow cave were very puzzled. Even Scarlett went forward to ask, wanting to know the meaning of Bell¡¯s action. ¡°Don¡¯t be surprised. The snow cave we built is still different from what we usually build after the construction is over. This is because we might be staying here tonight. Our body temperature will melt the roof of the snow cave. If that happens, it will be very dangerous. The melting water is secondary. It might easily cause a collapse. When that happens, we will be in danger. Therefore, we need to use the temperature of our palms to make the snow above our heads more solid.¡± Bell explained. Everyone came to their senses when they heard Bell. Scarlett looked at Bell¡¯s small hands that were red from the cold and felt sorry for him. She took off her gloves and held Bell¡¯s hand to give him some warmth. Then, she started working as well. The two of them worked for a while before finally completing the construction of the snow cave. Feeling exhausted, Bell heaved a sigh of relief. ¡°Alright, we¡¯re safe for now.¡± Bell had a smile on his face. In this snowy weather, Bell¡¯s smile was so warm that Scarlett couldn¡¯t help but be dazed. Although Bell was still young, he had no lack of charm as a man. ¡®Why eight? If only he were eighteen¡­¡¯ Scarlett thought to herself. After resting for a while, Bell took out his canteen and filled it with snow. ¡°There¡¯s a benefit to being in the snowy mountain area. It¡¯s very easy to get water. Fill some snow in the canteen and put it between the layers of your clothes. After that, the water will naturally melt by the time you are awake,¡± Bell said with a smile. Scarlett felt a little shy when she heard that he wanted to keep the bottle near his bare skin. However, in order to ensure that there was no lack of resources, she still did it. Her fair skin was slightly red for some reason. Perhaps it was because the exercise was too intense earlier. Chapter 19 - Trapped in Snow Cave Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios The night passed peacefully. The snowstorm had stopped. A pile of snow suddenly trembled. Immediately after, a face that had become red from the cold popped out of the snow. This head was none other than Bell. Then, Scarlett Johansson popped her head out. Seeing that the two of them survived, the comments were filled with joy. ¡°The host is too awesome. Many contestants were eliminated last night. Many rescue teams are trying their best to save them.¡± The audience in the comments explained the situation of the other contestants to Bell. Bell smiled and did not say anything. It would be a miracle if they could survive in such an environment. In fact, it was normal to be eliminated. Glancing at Scarlett, Bell asked, ¡°How are you? Are you okay? Are you feeling unwell?¡± After all, she was a woman, and her physique was probably not as tough as those who often trained. However, to Bell¡¯s surprise, the other party was not as fragile as he thought. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, Bell. I¡¯m not as weak as you think.¡± Scarlett said proudly. Bell only smiled and said nothing else. Since the other party was fine, it was naturally the best thing for him. ¡°Alright, we have to get out of here.¡± They walked out of the snow cave and looked around. The surroundings were desolate and there was no food. All they saw was white. Even the audience could not help but worry for the two of them. This scene was indeed beautiful if they were to only appreciate it. But if they were to try to live here, they would feel the strong killing intent hidden in this whiteness. Without food and warmth, this was definitely a terrifying thing. ¡°It¡¯s really cold. We need to find some firewood to start a fire.¡± ¡°Let¡¯s split up.¡± Bell glanced at Scarlett. It would be more efficient for the two of them to gather firewood. Scarlett nodded. She was about to leave when Bell stopped her. ¡°Wait, take this with you. This way, you won¡¯t fall into the snow.¡± Bell walked to Scarlett and tied the parachute that had become a huge snowbag to her feet. Seeing how attentive Bell was, Scarlett blushed. She, a 28-year-old adult, was actually taken care of by an 8-year-old boy, and in front of millions of audience. There was no lack of people who hooted at this scene in the comments. Bell finished his actions soon. After confirming that the ropes were tightened properly, Bell turned and left to gather firewood. Before leaving, Bell said. ¡°If you feel that the weather is becoming bad, hurry to the snow cave.¡± The two of them split into two directions and began to search for firewood. Bell moved carefully every step. On the other hand, Scarlett¡¯s progress was not too slow. She would do her best to pick up any flammable items that she saw. Compared to the other celebrities that were matched with the contestants, Scarlett Johansson was much more useful. The two of them had already gathered a lot of firewood and were preparing to return. However, an accident suddenly happened. Thump! Scarlett had been talking with the audience when the next second, the ice surface shattered and she fell into the water. Even some of the audience were not able to react for some time. Scarlett felt a biting chill. She kept trying to swim upstream, but her body was abnormally stiff. Moreover, the ice surface around her was constantly shattering. Every time she wanted to crawl on the ice, the ice would shatter, making it impossible for her to crawl to the ground. The thin ice surface could not withstand the weight of her entire body. Her body temperature was lowering bit by bit. The audience panicked. ¡°It¡¯s over, what to do? Quick, contact the production team.¡± ¡°What¡¯s the use of telling the production team? If the contestants fall into the ice lake and can¡¯t get out within a short time, there¡¯s no hope of survival. Their body temperature will disappear immediately.¡± Some people knew about this and knew how dangerous this emergency was. Suddenly, a comment caught everyone¡¯s attention. ¡°Hurry up and contact Bell. He should have a way. Moreover, he¡¯s not far from here. He might be able to save her.¡± When everyone heard this, they immediately switched the channel and flooded Bell¡¯s screen crazily. Bell, who was gathering firewood, suddenly saw the comments and was stunned for a moment. He didn¡¯t dare to delay and quickly chased after the footprints left by Scarlett. Sure enough, before long, he saw the shattered ice lake. The surrounding ice had already broken. Clearly, during this period, Scarlett had been trying to climb up but to no avail. Although some bubbles could still be seen on the ice, they were no longer obvious, proving that Scarlett¡¯s life was dissipating. Bell put down the firewood and jumped in. In the ice lake, the other party was indeed unconscious. Bell quickly swam toward Scarlett. Looking at the unconscious Scarlett, Bell first used the buoyancy of the water to hug her. Then, he held her hand and tried his best to help her control her breathing and maintain her calm. With Bell¡¯s help, Scarlett saw hope of survival and began to struggle. She regained consciousness. Bell made a few simple gestures to Scarlett Johnson in the water. The general meaning was to breathe less and not inhale cold water while maintaining her mental state. Bell pulled Scarlett and swam towards the spot where she had fallen in. Because the other party had already stepped on it before, it meant that the ice bank there was stronger than other places. After confirming the toughness of the ice, Bell dug two holes in the ice with his hand. Then, he showed Scarlett the correct way to go ashore. Like a sea lion, she crawled out of the water and reached the surface. This was because lying on the ice like this could lower the center of gravity and reduce the pressure on the ice. The two of them were like real sea lions, constantly crawling on the ice. Because of the cold, Scarlett¡¯s consciousness had become extremely blurry. Bell had to shout constantly to keep her focused. After crawling for a while, they stood up. Unfortunately, only Bell stood up. Scarlett had already fainted. The audience was shocked when they saw the unconscious Scarlett. They thought that there was an accident. Bell went forward to check her breathing. At this moment, her breathing was very weak. Picking up the firewood, Bell supported Scarlett and carried her to the snow cave. Bell skillfully started a fire and covered the two live stream devices beside them with clothes. ¡°Everyone, I¡¯m sorry. I don¡¯t have time to explain now, but our teammate is in extreme danger. Her clothes are wet with ice water. Such clothes will quickly drain her body temperature.¡± ¡°Considering Miss Scarlett¡¯s reputation, I can¡¯t let everyone continue watching. Sorry.¡± Bell explained to everyone. After starting the fire, Scarlett felt a little warmth and woke up. Instantly, she felt a bone-chilling cold. Before she could react, Bell shouted at her. ¡°If you¡¯re awake, don¡¯t just stand there. Move your body quickly, don¡¯t stop!¡± With their lives in danger, the two of them could not care less and were naked. The most important thing was to live. The exercise would allow the blood in the body to flow again.. Gradually, Scarlett¡¯s body regained energy. Chapter 20 - Slow Crawling Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios Time passed. The news of Scarlett Johansson falling into the ice quickly spread to the production team. Hearing this news, the production team was also shocked. The other party was a top celebrity. If something really happened to her in the show, they could be in huge trouble. However, when they turned the screen to Bell¡¯s camera, they only saw darkness. ¡°What¡¯s going on? Could it be that the equipment has failed?¡± In the broadcast room, the beautiful host was puzzled. The live audience explained the reason for this. After hearing the audience¡¯s explanation, the female host was momentarily at a loss. However, after knowing that the other party had escaped from the water, she was relieved. At the very least, the production team were more at ease with the survival skills that Bell had displayed. Since the other party had yet to send a distress signal, he must have resolved the problem. It was just that due to the current situation, it was not convenient for them to continue the broadcast temporarily. In the snow cave, Scarlett Johansson blushed. The two of them were in an embarrassing situation. Bell looked away as best as he could, but the space in that snow cave was only so big. Moreover, she was really very beautiful. He had already tried his best not to look. Time passed slowly. The two of them finally escaped danger. Their clothes had dried from the heat of the fire. The two of them wore the clothes and sat opposite each other. At this moment, Scarlett Johansson was no longer as wild as before. She was like a bullied little wife, lowering her head and not daring to speak. In order to ease the awkwardness, Bell introduced the correct method of getting out of the ice lake to everyone. ¡°Alright, everyone, we are no longer in danger. What happened earlier was just an accident.¡± ¡°Let me remind you all. When you fall into an ice lake, you have to stay calm. There are three things that are very dangerous in ice water.¡± ¡°The first is intense breathing. This will constantly suck water into your lungs and eventually cause you to drown.¡± ¡°Secondly, the freezing cold ice water might cause the heart to stop or go into shock. ¡°Finally, and most importantly, if you stay in the ice water for too long, your movements will slow and you will lose consciousness. It will be very difficult for you to crawl out in this case.¡± ¡°If you want to climb out of the ice lake, you have to find the spot where you fell in, because the land around that spot is stronger than other areas.¡± Bell kept explaining. Scarlett was almost done adjusting her body¡¯s condition. Seeing the other party move, Bell asked. ¡°How is it? Do you want to continue? Do you feel uncomfortable anywhere? If you don¡¯t think you can continue, I can send the signal now and let the production team send people to bring you back,¡± Bell asked. After experiencing a life and death crisis, it was very likely that the other party would choose to leave the show. Bell understood this. However, to his surprise, the other party shook her head and rejected his suggestion. ¡°I want to continue.¡± ¡°Are you sure?¡± ¡°Yes, I can continue. There¡¯s no need for the production team to come.¡± At this moment, the broadcast room was playing the scene of Bell and Scarlett. Seeing that Scarlett did not plan to quit, the production team couldn¡¯t help but clap. The audience was moved by this female celebrity¡¯s courage. ¡°Bell¡¯s Relier. Ten rockets.¡± ¡°Scarlett Johansson & Bell, couple confirmed. Rewarding a jet.¡± ¡°Goddess fan club, reward: 100 hot air balloons.¡± After this incident, their popularity soared again. However, there was an audience who pouted unhappily. It was Li Ziqi, who had gone to dinner with Bell. After resolving the crisis, they continued forward. For every 300 meters that the altitude fell, the temperature would increase by two degrees. As the two of them advanced, they quickly arrived at the first milestone. This was a forest area. Bell and Scarlett chatted with the audience while walking. By now, it had been an entire day and night since the two of them ate. Their hunger was already very painful. ¡°We have to find some food first.¡± Bell said weakly. Scarlett was so hungry she didn¡¯t even have the strength to speak. Suddenly, Bell saw an ant nest. ¡°There¡¯s an ant nest here. It is different from termites. This kind of black ant contains acids that can¡¯t be eaten, or else it can cause various afflictions in the stomach. However, their eggs can be eaten.¡± Bell began to search. The audience saw Bell¡¯s weak appearance and couldn¡¯t help but feel sorry for him. They secretly prayed for Bell to find food quickly. Scarlett did not idle either. She began to dig the ant nest with Bell. Unfortunately, things didn¡¯t go as planned. After searching for a long time, Bell still could not find the ant egg. Helpless, the two of them could only give up. Scarlett Johnson looked upset. Bell pulled her up and comforted. ¡°It¡¯s okay. The environment here is much better than on the snowy mountain. It¡¯s not difficult to find some food. Trust me.¡± To be honest, Bell even managed a smile, but it looked worse than crying. Scarlett nodded when she saw Bell¡¯s smile. She was no longer as depressed as before. The two of them advanced together. After a while, Bell¡¯s eyes lit up and he quickened his pace. ¡°Look at this. These are young pine roots. They are edible.¡± ¡°The soft pine roots taste like celery. It can replenish some energy.¡± After saying that, Bell reached out and picked some. At the same time, he signaled for Scarlett to try them. She did not refuse and ate with Bell. The taste of the raw celery was not good, let alone when the pine roots tasted worse than celery. But at least it could alleviate their hunger. Then, Bell searched for some more roots. The two of them barely recovered some strength. Their conditions were slightly better. After alleviating some of their hunger, the two continued forward. Soon, a huge canyon appeared before them. It looked to be 300 meters wide. It would take at least two days to bypass it. However, there was a rope bridge in the middle of the canyon. Once they lost their footing, it would definitely be fatal. There was no chance of survival. ¡°Don¡¯t tell me you want to cross this rope bridge.¡± Scarlett couldn¡¯t believe it. Bell smiled. ¡°We don¡¯t have time, but I have a way to crawl over.¡± Bell used the parachute as a cloth and wrapped his hands around it. He grabbed the rope and slowly crawled. This was the crawling skill he had exchanged for in the system reward: [Slow Crawling]. Although it was slower, the effect was not bad.. The most important thing was safety. Chapter 21 Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios On the plane, the contestants had already received their items. Just like what the production team had said, there was an empty water bottle, a dagger, a pair of shoes, and a backpack. There were no other resources. ¡°As you can see, every contestant will only bring the resources given by our program team for wilderness survival. Other resources are not allowed to be carried.¡± ¡°Soon, we will start the live broadcast. The audience can send comments and rewards to the contestants they like.¡± On the screen, the beautiful female host was still introducing the program. After the supplies were distributed, Wilderness Survival officially began. At the same time, a voice sounded in Bell¡¯s ears. [Ding! Congratulations to the host for officially activating the Wilderness Survival System!] [The host can sign in every day in the midst of wilderness survival and receive rewards!] [Do you want to sign in now?] The system voice sounded in Bell¡¯s head. Joy appeared on his face. ¡°It¡¯s finally activated? I¡¯ll sign in now.¡± He had participated in this program to activate the system to obtain rewards, so he naturally agreed to sign in without hesitation. Bell sent a command with his thoughts. [Ding! Congratulations, host, you have signed in successfully. You have received a newbie gift bag!] [Newbie Gift Bag: Parachute landing skill Level MAX!] Bell felt a huge pile of information flood into his brain. It was all about parachuting. Although he was a special forces soldier in his previous life and knew how to parachute, this parachuting technique rewarded by the system had raised his level. The current Bell could guarantee that his parachuting skills were not inferior to even the best air force. He could definitely land quickly and accurately without being injured. At the same time, the instructor¡¯s voice sounded in everyone¡¯s ears. ¡°Put on your parachutes and prepare to land!¡± The door opened ten thousand meters in the sky, below was a dense primitive forest. ¡°When I call your name, get up and come here.¡± The instructor shouted as he looked at the people in the cabin. ¡°Martin Dana!¡± ¡°Here!¡± Following the voice, a muscular white man walked forward with a parachute and arrived beside the instructor. ¡°Martin Dana, right?¡± ¡°Yes!¡± ¡°Very good. I have told you how to use the parachute. Remember, don¡¯t panic if anything happens. Remember the technique I told you.¡± ¡°Yes, Sir!¡± Martin Dana was very confident. The man jumped! The television audience was shocked! Everyone thought that this was an expert, but soon, they realized that this was not the case. Bang! The contestant only opened the parachute when he was about to reach the forest. In the end, he miscalculated and was severely injured, withdrawing from the competition. The cheers instantly fell silent. ¡°Looks like this contestant is not well-prepared.¡± Seeing the first contestant end in a tragic manner, the atmosphere in the live-stream turned cold. The beautiful host could only interject. ¡°Actually, parachuting is a very profound knowledge. At the same time, this is the first test for these contestants.¡± ¡°Being able to parachute safely will affect their next journey.¡± ¡°In the wilderness, even a slight injury can cause a lot of trouble, and the difficulty of survival will increase exponentially.¡± Bear and Ed explained. As the two of them spoke, many contestants on the plane also began to jump. Unfortunately, almost every contestant was like Martin Dana. They were all in a sorry state and were covered in wounds. ¡°The key to parachuting is to control the balance of the body and the judgment of the distance of when to open the parachute.¡± ¡°By grasping these two points, we can reach the predetermined location without injuries.¡± Seeing the tragic looks on the contestants¡¯ faces, Bear and Ed explained the skills of parachuting to everyone in the live-stream. As the number of people in the cabin decreased, it was soon Bell¡¯s turn. ¡°Bell!¡± ¡°Here!¡± A slightly tender voice sounded in everyone¡¯s ears. The screen broadcasted Bell¡¯s image. Seeing Bell¡¯s appearance, the audience was instantly excited. ¡°It¡¯s that child!¡± Bell was really too young. Just his appearance had left a deep impression on everyone. Seeing Bell¡¯s appearance, many people were worried. ¡°This child is still so young. Can he really participate in this program? What if something happens?¡± The instructor looked at Bell hesitantly. ¡°Child, are you sure you can do it?¡± The instructor asked worriedly. Hearing the instructor¡¯s words, Bell did not answer. He took the parachute and skillfully arranged every part. Then, he checked again, looking like a veteran who had trained in it countless times. It was so fast that even the instructor could not react. ¡°This movement is so smooth!¡± ¡°Lord! How is he so skilled!¡± The audience, who were still worried about Bell, were stunned when they saw his actions. ¡°Good. These movements show us that this young contestant should be a professional in parachuting.¡± Bear and Ed¡¯s eyes lit up when they saw Bell¡¯s actions. ¡°Instructor, can I jump now?¡± Seeing that the instructor was still in a daze, Bell asked. ¡°Oh, no problem. You can jump anytime.¡± Immediately after, Bell jumped out of the cabin. The screen audience was shocked when they saw Bell jump down. They covered their eyes, not daring to look. However, time passed slowly, and they did not hear the expected screams. Everyone looked at the screen again. Bell had already calmly opened the parachute and was flying down. The beautiful host and everyone else were shocked. ¡°This child is a genius!¡± ¡°Success! He really succeeded!¡± Bell landed easily and stored the parachute in his bag. Bear and Ed stood up excitedly and looked at Bell. ¡°That execution was perfect! It¡¯s hard to imagine that such a technique was executed by an eight-year-old child!¡± ¡°That¡¯s right! In all these years, I¡¯ve never seen anyone so skilled and precise in parachuting.¡± Bell had calculated the distance to open the parachute and easily controlled his balance in the air, landing with the help of a tall tree trunk. He was calm throughout the whole process, unlike the previous contestants. And it was because of this parachute jump that a large number of the audience was instantly attracted to Bel¡¯s stream. [Ding! Received x 1000 popularity] [Congratulations, host. Your popularity has reached 10,000. The system store has been opened.] After Bell landed, the system¡¯s voice sounded in his ears again. Hearing the voice, Bell opened the system interface. ¡°Exchange the popularity for wild plant identification LV MAX!¡± Bell knew what skills he needed to live in the forest. One of the most important things was being able to identify plants as there were many plants that were quite poisonous or harmful. He had to ensure his safety first. [Ding! Congratulations, host, you have exchanged 10,000 popularity for wild plant identification skill LVMAX.] ¡°Looks like the sign in rewards are not enough. I have to have enough popularity to exchange for skills.¡± The system could give the sign in reward once a day which was not very helpful in the wilderness where many unexpected situations could arise. Fortunately, there was another way for him to obtain skills. It was to interact with the audience to increase his popularity. This way, he could obtain the corresponding rewards. After the exchange was completed, a large amount of botanical knowledge entered Bell¡¯s mind. Bell scanned the area, grabbed a bunch of weeds, and placed them in his mouth. Everyone in front of the screen exclaimed. ¡°What¡­ What is this child doing?¡± Chapter 22 Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios The audience who had just heaved a sigh of relief after seeing Bell successfully parachute was shocked again. ¡°What¡¯s wrong with this child?¡± Bell suddenly grabbed a bunch of weeds from the ground, surprising the audience. At this moment, as the contestants parachuted one by one, the channels for the live broadcast were completed. Every contestant could interact with their audience. Bell saw the words of the audience in front of the screen. Reading the audience¡¯s comments, Bell smiled and took out a weed to explain to everyone. ¡°Everyone, don¡¯t be nervous. Actually, this is not a weed. To be precise, it¡¯s a plant called grass needle.¡± ¡°This plant has another name.¡± As he spoke, Bell moved the weed in his hand to the camera so that everyone could see it clearly. Some people in front of the screen saw the thing in Bell¡¯s hand and looked at it, but they could not see any difference from ordinary weeds. ¡°Actually, this grass needle is called Earth Leaf Tea. Not only can it be eaten, but it also contains high sugar.¡± ¡°Everyone knows that the human body requires a large amount of sugar. It¡¯s vital to replenish sugar content when you are in the wild. It can ensure that a person is always full of vitality.¡± ¡°But I don¡¯t suggest that everyone eats too much of this in the wild.¡± With that, Bell pulled out another grass needle. His slightly chubby little hand grabbed the grass needle and gently shook off the soil. Then, the audience saw Bell bite the white rhizome and suck it. Sweet liquid flowed out, accompanied by the smell of soil. Everyone in front of the screen was dumbfounded. ¡°Can¡­ Can this really be eaten? And why can¡¯t we eat more?¡± ¡°His chubby hands are so cute.¡± ¡°God, why does it feel like my heart is melting when he is just introducing the plant?¡± Countless comments appeared. Bell looked like an eight-year-old child. His chubby face and small hands made him look cute which would arouse the affection of some women. With Bell¡¯s serious introduction, he looked like a little adult. Some of the audience were not even listening to Bell¡¯s introduction. They were completely attracted to his appearance. Bell¡¯s image was also playing in the broadcast room. The beautiful host looked at Bear and Ed curiously. ¡°Bear, Ed, is what Bell said true? Can this plant really replenish sugar?¡± Bear nodded. ¡°That¡¯s right, this plant can indeed replenish a lot of sugar. To maintain vitality in the wild, sugar is necessary.¡± Ed also nodded in agreement. The audience was shocked. ¡°This child really knows.¡± ¡°How did he know about this at such a young age?¡± ¡°My heart hurts, let aunt hug you!¡± There were always some irrational female audience, and their focus was different from ordinary people. The host was even more puzzled. ¡°But why did he say that this thing can¡¯t be eaten too much? Is it poisonous?¡± The beautiful host did not forget what Bell had said. Even Ed and Bear were stunned. The two of them had also lived in the wild before. Although this plant was called differently in various places, it was not poisonous. They really did not know why they could not eat too much. Bear shook his head. ¡°I¡¯ve never heard of this. Although there are different names of this plant everywhere, there is one thing that can be confirmed. It¡¯s not poisonous; otherwise, it cannot be eaten directly.¡± ¡°Yes, this plant is not poisonous. As for why this contestant said that it can¡¯t be eaten in large quantities, why don¡¯t we see what he says?¡± Ed was also curious. The two were experts in wilderness survival, and they knew almost all the plants like the back of their hands. However, the two of them really did not know why they could not eat this plant in large quantities. After all, in their eyes, as long as there was no poison, they could eat it in large quantities. It was all nutritional supplements. At this moment, Bell had already finished drinking from some Earth Leaf Tea. After replenishing enough energy, seeing that the audience was still playing information, and asking why they could not eat this plant in large numbers, Bell smiled and wiped his mouth. ¡°Everyone, don¡¯t worry. This plant is not poisonous. The reason why it can¡¯t be eaten in large quantities is that this Earth Leaf Tea has medicinal effects as well. It can clear heat, detoxify poison, and promotes diuresis1.¡± ¡°You have to pay attention to hydration in the wild. Too much urination can cause dehydration which can be harmful in the wild, so you have to pay attention to this.¡± With that, Bell continued walking. In the broadcast room, Bear and Ed¡¯s eyes widened as they looked at the answer Bell gave. Bell¡¯s unique explanation with the characteristics of Chinese medicine stunned everyone. ¡°Awesome!¡± ¡°No wonder even Bear and Ed couldn¡¯t guess it. So this is the reason.¡± ¡°Little friend, you¡¯re so awesome. Have you learned medical skills?¡± Comments floated across the screen. Because of Bell¡¯s appearance and his knowledge, he had already attracted a lot of attention. After all, it made one feel curious as to how a child knew so much about wilderness survival. Looking at the comments on the screen, Bell smiled. ¡°There are still too few people. I have to interact with them enough to increase my popularity.¡± While he walked, Bell said, ¡°Actually, you should not eat random plants.¡± ¡°Although many plants look edible, they are actually poisonous. If you have no other choice, I can teach you a method.¡± ¡°First, use your eyes to look. If there are maggots in them, you naturally can¡¯t eat them.¡± ¡°The second is the sense of smell. If you break it and there is a disgusting bitter almond smell, there is a high chance that it can¡¯t be eaten.¡± ¡°Third is the skin¡¯s reaction. Our skin can also absorb nutrients. However, the efficiency of absorption is much lower than the digestive system, but there are also some sensitive areas.¡± ¡°Such as the elbow and the armpit. If you squeeze the sap of the plant into these parts and feel a change like swelling, it will prove that the plant is dangerous.¡± ¡°If the corners of your lips and the tip of your tongue are irritated, throw the plant away immediately.¡± Bell explained to everyone. Everyone in front of the screen was dumbfounded as they watched Bell¡¯s explanation. ¡°This is too professional. Bell is awesome!¡± ¡°I¡¯ve gained new knowledge.¡± ¡°Mom is asking me why I¡¯m kneeling and watching the video.¡± Chapter 23 Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios Bell¡¯s professional explanation stunned everyone on the screen. Even the female host in the broadcast room looked at Bear and Ed in disbelief. ¡°Gentlemen, is this contestant speaking the truth? Do you have anything to add?¡± At this moment, Bear and Ed played their role as hosts. With the two of them around, at least some professional knowledge could be answered. Ed nodded. ¡°This contestant is right. The human skin can also absorb nutrients, but the absorption rate is much slower than the digestive system.¡± ¡°But similarly, the absorption of poison will naturally be less, so if some poisonous plants are absorbed into the stomach, it might cause discomfort, but if it¡¯s just skin contact, it can be fine.¡± ¡°This contestant is the most professional survivalist I have seen so far. Although he is very young, I have to say that this level of professionalism is not something ordinary people can compare to. I really want to know how he gained this knowledge.¡± With the confirmation from Bear and Ed, the popularity of Bell¡¯s live-stream increased again. At the same time, on the screen, Bell was constantly moving forward. ¡°Our goal is to walk out of this primeval forest. If you want to survive in the wild, your first goal is to confirm your location.¡± ¡°Because primeval forests are often covered by tall trees, it¡¯s easy to lose direction. It¡¯s also very difficult to determine the direction by using the sun.¡± ¡°But there is another way. We have to find a high point. Through the high vantage point, we can see further and it will be easier to find the path to survival.¡± Bell explained patiently to everyone as he walked. With a wooden stick that he had just broken off from a tree branch, he explored the way through the underbrush ahead of him. The comments kept rolling as the audience saw Bell¡¯s actions. ¡°Awesome! This little friend is so professional.¡± ¡°How does he know these techniques? I feel like my 30 years of life have been lived in vain.¡± ¡°I suddenly understand it. I can see far from a high point of view.¡± Bell¡¯s professional explanation and his eye-catching appearance attracted a lot of attention. [Ding! Congratulations, host, you have obtained 10,000 popularity points.] As the live broadcast continued, the system¡¯s voice sounded in Bell¡¯s ears again. Bell¡¯s eyes lit up. ¡°Another 10,000 popularity? I can exchange for a new skill.¡± ¡°Exchange for wildlife identification LV MAX.¡± [Ding! Successfully exchanged 10,000 popularity for wildlife identification LV MAX!] Just like before, 10,000 points of popularity were consumed, and a large amount of knowledge surged into Bell¡¯s mind. At this moment, his mind was filled with information about all creatures in the world. Be it common or uncommon animals, their habits and characteristics were all imprinted in his mind. ¡°With this skill, survival in the wild will be much safer.¡± What was the greatest danger in the wild? Apart from having no basic resources for survival, it was naturally the various wild animals. After understanding the habits of these animals, Bell could avoid snakes, insects, rats, and ants to the greatest extent. Even if he could not avoid them, he would know their weaknesses or what they were afraid of, greatly increasing his chances of survival. Feeling the information in his head, Bell suddenly thought. ¡°I can take the opportunity to introduce some animals that they need to pay attention to in the wild.¡± Although there were still people constantly commenting on the screen in Bell¡¯s stream, without the initial novelty, the popularity had decreased slightly. He had to use new information to attract the new audience. ¡°When you are out in the wilderness, you have to be careful when you walk in the grass.¡± ¡°It¡¯s late autumn now. All kinds of snakes will roam frequently during this time. They are even more active because they will soon enter hibernation, and have to hunt enough food.¡± ¡°When exploring the way in the grass, you have to use some tools to scout ahead like what I am doing with this stick. This way, you can avoid being attacked immediately.¡± Seeing how Bell was explaining seriously, everyone was moved. ¡°He knows so much. He also has chubby little hands. He looks so cute holding a wooden stick.¡± ¡°You¡¯re trying to trick me into getting a child, where can I get a girlfriend?¡± ¡°Previous poster, do you have to have a girlfriend to have a child? I¡¯m 28 years old, is it normal for me to not have a girlfriend yet?¡± ¡°Previous poster, it¡¯s basically useless. I suggest you delete your account and start over.¡± ¡°The neighboring auntie tipped the host 100 light sticks1.¡± ¡°The host¡¯s female fan tips the host 200 light sticks.¡± Seeing the comments coming to life again, Bell smiled. At that moment, there was a movement in the grass ahead. Bell stopped. ¡°Shh, lower your voice. There¡¯s something in the grass. Let¡¯s see what it is.¡± It was not only Bell. Everyone in front of the screen also noticed the movement in the grass and were attracted to it. ¡°Little friend, be careful. Snakes are common in this primeval forest. Run quickly.¡± ¡°Host, run quickly. If you are bitten by a poisonous snake in here, there¡¯s no way to rescue you immediately.¡± Many people on the screen began to worry about Bell. They were worried that some poisonous creatures might appear from the bushes. But Bell did not care. He only gestured for the audience to keep quiet. ¡°Everyone, don¡¯t panic. Let¡¯s see if it is just some wild hares.¡± ¡°Maybe our dinner will be settled.¡± Bell approached the bush cautiously. However, at this moment, there was a hissing sound. The grass rustled again. A two-meter-long, green-brown serpent with a yellow line on its back appeared before everyone. Because the camera was too close, the long serpent seemed to suddenly appear in front of everyone, wanting to crawl out of the screen. Everyone in front of the screen was shocked. ¡°F*ck! F*cking hell! I almost pissed my pants.¡± ¡°Previous poster, you almost did, but I did it already.¡± ¡°Little friend, run quickly. This might be a poisonous snake. It will be troublesome if you are bitten.¡± The audience was worried about Bell¡¯s safety. Bell smiled when he saw the snake. ¡°Everyone, don¡¯t worry. This is Zaocys dhumnades, not a poisonous snake. Looking at its size, it should be an adult. My dinner will be it.¡± ¡°Snake meat is delicious. Fresh snake meat is like a juicy steak, and is filled with protein.¡± Bell even licked his lips. Chapter 24 Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios The audience was stunned when they saw Bell¡¯s expression. ¡°Little friend, don¡¯t be ridiculous. If you encounter snakes in the wild, you should run quickly. It¡¯s very dangerous.¡± ¡°Previous poster is right. Just now, there was another contestant who tried to capture a snake and was bitten by it. He¡¯s still in the midst of emergency treatment.¡± ¡°I also just came over from that live-stream. I heard that it¡¯s even an old wilderness survival streamer. It¡¯s over for him.¡± On the screen, everyone was asking Bell to get away from the snake quickly. Bell looked at the comments on the screen and smiled confidently. ¡°Don¡¯t be anxious. Firstly, this snake is not poisonous. In the wild, the distinction between animals is very important, and it allows you to judge more accurately how much threat that animal poses to you.¡± ¡°Usually, in a situation where resources are scarce, don¡¯t easily provoke poisonous or unfamiliar creatures. It will cause a lot of trouble for yourself.¡± ¡°But this dark snake in front of us is an exception.¡± ¡°This snake is, like I said, non-venomous. It usually hunts fish, frogs, and rats as its food.¡± ¡°These snakes are docile and don¡¯t normally attack humans. They hunt by relying on their size advantage and speed.¡± ¡°But they will retaliate when they are frightened.¡± Bell looked at the dark snake and did not forget to explain to everyone at the same time. Hearing Bell¡¯s explanation, the audience in front of the screen finally believed that Bell really recognized this snake. At the same time, after knowing that this snake was not poisonous, the female fans in front of the screen were relieved. ¡°The host is so awesome. Not only does he know about plants, but he also knows so much about animals!¡± ¡°Host, are you accepting disciples? I want to take you as my master.¡± ¡°Little friend, since this snake is not poisonous, run quickly. This thing looks so dark that it¡¯s scary.¡± Among the audience, some were worried for Bell, some were just joining in the fun, and some were persuading him to run. Bell did not accept their suggestion. ¡°Everyone, don¡¯t be nervous. If it were any other time, I would suggest that you find a professional to deal with the snakes and not try to mess with it, but we¡¯re in the wilderness now. We have to use all the resources we can see.¡± ¡°I am going to teach everyone how to catch some snakes.¡± With that, Bell slowly retreated, his gaze never leaving the dark snake. He slowly walked to a fallen tree branch and broke it off. ¡°What is the host doing? Is he going to use the tree branch to chase the snake away?¡± ¡°Previous poster, you¡¯re really naive.¡± ¡°The host already has a wooden stick in his hand. If he wanted to scare the snake away, he would have done it already. Why would he still be looking for another branch?¡± Everyone discussed. On Bell¡¯s side, he took out the dagger given by the production team and sharpened the tree branch. Soon, the tree branch became like a harpoon. ¡°Does the host know martial arts? Why are you holding two tree branches, is it a dual wielding style?¡± ¡°Previous poster, have you watched too many anime?¡± Everyone was making wild guesses. Looking at the tree branch in his hand, Bell nodded in satisfaction. His slightly chubby face looked cute with that serious expression. ¡°Ah! No, I can¡¯t take it anymore. My heart is melting.¡± ¡°Little friend, don¡¯t do the live broadcast anymore. Sister will raise you.¡± ¡°Do you have a girlfriend? If you do, what do you think about having one more?¡± ¡°Hey! 110? There is a female pervert here. Yes, she¡¯s very agitated right now.¡± ¡°Female Patron, it¡¯s illegal to have an affair with minors. You will be sentenced to life imprisonment of three to five years. If you want to do anything, just take it out on me.¡± ¡°Get lost! I am asking for my daughter!¡± Looking at the messages on the screen, Bell¡¯s forehead darkened. ¡°Cough cough!¡± Bell coughed lightly and attracted everyone¡¯s attention again. ¡°Everyone, don¡¯t make wild guesses. The reason why I am sharpening this tree branch is to capture this dark snake.¡± ¡°Although this snake is not poisonous, it is very fast. To be precise, almost all snakes are fast, so we need to use some tools to capture them.¡± As he spoke, Bell slowly approached the snake. Sensing Bell¡¯s approach, the snake slowly twisted and retreated. The people in front of the screen also became nervous. They did not even dare to breathe loudly, afraid that they would disturb Bell. The boy and the snake looked at each other. Suddenly, the snake, which had been forced to a corner by Bell, moved. The black snake was like a bolt of lightning. It was so fast that some of the audience did not even see its movement clearly. Bell¡¯s eyes lit up. He had been waiting for this moment. Just as the snake shot forward, the tree branch in Bell¡¯s left hand suddenly stabbed forward. The sharpened end of the tree branch pierced into the open mouth of the dark snake, stopping it. Then, Bell raised the wooden stick in his right hand and swung it down, hitting the area seven inches below the snake¡¯s head. After suffering this fatal attack, the ferocious snake immediately fell silent, as if it had died. The audience finally reacted. ¡°This¡­ this snake is dead?¡± ¡°What happened just now?¡± ¡°It was too fast. Has the host really trained before?¡± ¡°Everyone, I won¡¯t keep this from you, I am the recruitment disciple of the Shaolin Monastery. The host is our eldest senior brother. This time, our eldest senior brother has left the mountain to gain experience.¡± ¡°Previous poster, can you be any more ridiculous?¡± Bell smiled when he saw the audience in the live-stream become active again. ¡°Everyone, this snake should be dead now. This is a small trick to catch snakes. Everyone can try to learn it.¡± The comments showed that their minds had learned the trick, but their body was not capable. Bell didn¡¯t say anything else. ¡°Alright, everyone, we have to deal with this snake.¡± ¡°This is our dinner, we can¡¯t waste it.¡± ¡°Remember that snakes can pretend to be dead, so don¡¯t touch them unless you¡¯re sure.¡± While speaking, Bell took out his dagger and found some vines to tie the dagger and the wooden stick together. Then, he stabbed the snake¡¯s head. Only after doing all this, Bell heaved a sigh of relief. ¡°Alright, it is no threat to us now.¡± With that, Bell skinned and removed the internal organs with the help of the tools in his hand and quickly dealt with the snake. He dug a pit to bury the internal organs. Only the smooth smooth snake meat was left behind which he placed in his bag. ¡°Everyone, remember this step. You have to pay attention to handling the corpses of wild animals in the wild. You have to eviscerate and clean them quickly after killing them . This is because large wild animals have a very sensitive sense of smell. They might smell blood a few kilometers away. Burying these internal organs through the soil can further prevent the smell of blood from spreading.¡± ¡°That was sweet!¡± ¡°Host, may I ask where you are from and why you are so familiar with killing snakes?¡± ¡°Mom, I learned many things today. Don¡¯t pull me.. I want to watch more!¡± Chapter 25 Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios After butchering the snake, Bell casually wiped the blood on his hand on the soil. ¡°This snake is not small. It should be enough for dinner.¡± After removing the stench from his hand, Bell interacted with the audience. ¡°The host is awesome, a real professional!¡± ¡°How can you eat snakes? Snakes are so cute.¡± ¡°Previous poster, is your period normal?¡± Seeing the audience talking nonsense in the comments, Bell was helpless. He did not have time to moderate these comments. In order to not let the audience continue the nonsense, Bell could only change the topic to attract their attention. ¡°Everyone, now that we have solved the food problem, we have to complete our previous goal and determine our location and plan our route.¡± Bell said while walking. ¡°I know! The host said that we have to find a high spot to confirm our location.¡± Hearing Bell¡¯s words, some of the audience interacted. Looking at the comments, Bell nodded. ¡°That¡¯s right. Our next step is to go to higher terrain. On one hand, we need to confirm our location, but we have another goal as well.¡± Bell deliberately paused to whet the audience¡¯s appetite. ¡°Another goal? Didn¡¯t the host say that it is to confirm the location?¡± ¡°That¡¯s right. Is there any other use in reaching higher ground?¡± The audience was puzzled. In the broadcast room, the female host¡¯s gaze was on Bell as well. She was also puzzled. She looked at Bear and Ed beside her. ¡°This contestant Bell said that he wants to go to a high ground to confirm his location, but from his words, he seems to have other motives as well. I wonder if you can tell us what this contestant¡¯s goal is?¡± The female host did not know much about wilderness survival, but she had two professionals beside her, so she handed the problem to the two of them. Ed smiled. ¡°This young contestant is the most professional among all the contestants. At least, I don¡¯t see other contestants thinking about this. If I¡¯m not wrong, his goal should be to find a water source.¡± ¡°That¡¯s right. It¡¯s indeed easier to find a water source if you have a high vantage point.¡± Bear also nodded. At the same time, Bell was explaining his goal to the audience. ¡°Host, why do we have to go higher to find water? Is it easier to accumulate water at higher places?¡± Some of the audience asked. Seeing this question, Bell shook his head. ¡°Actually, the reason why we need to go to a higher ground to search for water sources is very simple.¡± ¡°Water flows down. It¡¯s easier to observe the terrain from higher ground. You just have to look for low terrains. The lower the terrain, the higher the possibility of finding a water source.¡± ¡°Similarly, our lives are tied with water, so if we follow the river, there¡¯s a high chance of us leaving the primeval forest and completing our goal.¡± Bell held a wooden stick in his hand and explained to the audience as he explored the path. ¡°Amazing, so there was such a thing.¡± ¡°I¡¯ve learned. I¡¯m no longer afraid of dying of thirst in the wild.¡± ¡°Hehe, kid, don¡¯t talk nonsense. I¡¯ll just smile and not speak.¡± As Bell¡¯s live-stream became longer and longer, many new audiences entered his live-stream. They had not seen Bell¡¯s way of survival before, so they naturally did not believe that a child less than ten years old had such knowledge. They took it as nonsensical talk. Bell could not be bothered to say anything about it. Some people were always arrogant and complacent about things they did not understand. But the clowns were themselves. However, even if Bell did not respond, the audience who had watched his live broadcast could not take the insult. ¡°Hey! Previous poster, what¡¯s your meaning, huh? Being so mysterious, either put up or shut up!¡± ¡°That¡¯s right, you know a lot, right? Why don¡¯t I see you in the show?¡± ¡°Yeah, have you seen the host¡¯s earlier actions? You just arrived and already started flaming!¡± Before Bell could speak, a group of people in the live-stream were already crying out for injustice. Immediately, the audience who was being sarcastic in the live-stream was spat out. Seeing that someone was speaking up for him, although Bell was happy, he still stood forward to maintain the atmosphere in the live-stream. ¡°Alright, there is no need to be angry. There will be those who like my stream and those who don¡¯t. The live broadcast will continue for a long time. Time will prove everything.¡± Bell acted like a little adult and instantly caused the group of fans in the live-stream to feel emotional. ¡°Bell¡¯s older sister fan gifts x300 hearts.¡± ¡°A certain eSports chair brand tipped host X500 hearts.¡± ¡°Green flight backpack gifts x200 hearts!¡± ¡°¡­¡± Reward notifications appeared on the screen. ¡°Thank you for your support. We are still a distance away from the peak. If you have any questions about survival in the wild, you can ask me. I will answer them for you.¡± Everyone was interested. Because Bell had just captured a snake, the first thing they asked was naturally related to snakes. ¡°Host, I want to ask you. I heard that poisonous snakes can be eaten. Is that true?¡± Seeing this question, the other audience also wanted to see how Bell would answer. ¡°The flesh of poisonous snakes can be eaten. The venom of poisonous snakes is stored in the glands in the head. As long as the glands are not destroyed when killing the snakes, the flesh of poisonous snakes is no different from ordinary snake meat.¡± ¡°The composition of the venom itself is mostly made of proteins. After proper procedures, it¡¯s almost edible. Of course, it¡¯s not recommended.¡± Hearing Bell¡¯s serious and detailed answer, the live-stream was flooded with comments again. ¡°Host, I am going to set your broadcast schedule as my alarm to learn.¡± ¡°Yo, friend above, you¡¯re here to learn too.¡± ¡°The host is so awesome. I will have a baby after a year, I hope my baby is as smart as the host. I have already bought donkey¡¯s milk powder for the child. A wise mother is trustworthy.¡± ¡°Hey! Previous poster, don¡¯t advertise here. Also, you are giving birth after a year? You¡¯re not pregnant, right?¡± ¡°Brother, don¡¯t talk nonsense. A year is normal. Back then, my pregnancy lasted for three years and six months.¡± While the audience chatted with each other, Bell finally reached the top of a mountain and confirmed the terrain. ¡°Everyone, look at the direction I¡¯m pointing. It¡¯s clearly lower than other places. We can try our luck there.¡± Bell pointed to a spot not far away and said to the audience. Everyone was also focused on watching to see if Bell could find a water source. Soon, Bell arrived at the place that he had pointed earlier. However, as he got closer, he did not find any water source. Looking at the soil on the ground, Bell grabbed it and gently rubbed it before shaking his head. ¡°I¡¯m sorry. Although the soil here is moist, there is no river. We might have to continue moving forward.¡± ¡°However, don¡¯t be discouraged. It¡¯s important to maintain a good mentality in the wilderness.¡± Bell even revealed a cute smile. The female audience saw Bell¡¯s cute appearance and sent another wave of gifts. After walking for a while, Bell felt exhausted. He was about to lean against a tree trunk to rest when he suddenly felt something amiss. He smiled again. ¡°Guys, guess what I found. Maybe we can have some dessert before dinner.¡± With that, Bell pulled off a piece of tree bark from the tree trunk. Immediately, termites appeared before everyone. Some of the termites looked white like grains of large rice. At this moment, one comment stood out among other comments. ¡°F*ck, host, if you dare to eat these insects, I¡¯ll send you a gift worth ten thousand dollars now..¡± Chapter 26 Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios Bell¡¯s professional explanation stunned everyone on the screen. Even the female host in the broadcast room looked at Bear and Ed in disbelief. ¡°Gentlemen, is this contestant speaking the truth? Do you have anything to add?¡± At this moment, Bear and Ed played their role as hosts. With the two of them around, at least some professional knowledge could be answered. Ed nodded. ¡°This contestant is right. The human skin can also absorb nutrients, but the absorption rate is much slower than the digestive system.¡± ¡°But similarly, the absorption of poison will naturally be less, so if some poisonous plants are absorbed into the stomach, it might cause discomfort, but if it¡¯s just skin contact, it can be fine.¡± ¡°This contestant is the most professional survivalist I have seen so far. Although he is very young, I have to say that this level of professionalism is not something ordinary people can compare to. I really want to know how he gained this knowledge.¡± With the confirmation from Bear and Ed, the popularity of Bell¡¯s live-stream increased again. At the same time, on the screen, Bell was constantly moving forward. ¡°Our goal is to walk out of this primeval forest. If you want to survive in the wild, your first goal is to confirm your location.¡± ¡°Because primeval forests are often covered by tall trees, it¡¯s easy to lose direction. It¡¯s also very difficult to determine the direction by using the sun.¡± ¡°But there is another way. We have to find a high point. Through the high vantage point, we can see further and it will be easier to find the path to survival.¡± Bell explained patiently to everyone as he walked. With a wooden stick that he had just broken off from a tree branch, he explored the way through the underbrush ahead of him. The comments kept rolling as the audience saw Bell¡¯s actions. ¡°Awesome! This little friend is so professional.¡± ¡°How does he know these techniques? I feel like my 30 years of life have been lived in vain.¡± ¡°I suddenly understand it. I can see far from a high point of view.¡± Bell¡¯s professional explanation and his eye-catching appearance attracted a lot of attention. [Ding! Congratulations, host, you have obtained 10,000 popularity points.] As the live broadcast continued, the system¡¯s voice sounded in Bell¡¯s ears again. Bell¡¯s eyes lit up. ¡°Another 10,000 popularity? I can exchange for a new skill.¡± ¡°Exchange for wildlife identification LV MAX.¡± [Ding! Successfully exchanged 10,000 popularity for wildlife identification LV MAX!] Just like before, 10,000 points of popularity were consumed, and a large amount of knowledge surged into Bell¡¯s mind. At this moment, his mind was filled with information about all creatures in the world. Be it common or uncommon animals, their habits and characteristics were all imprinted in his mind. ¡°With this skill, survival in the wild will be much safer.¡± What was the greatest danger in the wild? Apart from having no basic resources for survival, it was naturally the various wild animals. After understanding the habits of these animals, Bell could avoid snakes, insects, rats, and ants to the greatest extent. Even if he could not avoid them, he would know their weaknesses or what they were afraid of, greatly increasing his chances of survival. Feeling the information in his head, Bell suddenly thought. ¡°I can take the opportunity to introduce some animals that they need to pay attention to in the wild.¡± Although there were still people constantly commenting on the screen in Bell¡¯s stream, without the initial novelty, the popularity had decreased slightly. He had to use new information to attract the new audience. ¡°When you are out in the wilderness, you have to be careful when you walk in the grass.¡± ¡°It¡¯s late autumn now. All kinds of snakes will roam frequently during this time. They are even more active because they will soon enter hibernation, and have to hunt enough food.¡± ¡°When exploring the way in the grass, you have to use some tools to scout ahead like what I am doing with this stick. This way, you can avoid being attacked immediately.¡± Seeing how Bell was explaining seriously, everyone was moved. ¡°He knows so much. He also has chubby little hands. He looks so cute holding a wooden stick.¡± ¡°You¡¯re trying to trick me into getting a child, where can I get a girlfriend?¡± ¡°Previous poster, do you have to have a girlfriend to have a child? I¡¯m 28 years old, is it normal for me to not have a girlfriend yet?¡± ¡°Previous poster, it¡¯s basically useless. I suggest you delete your account and start over.¡± ¡°The neighboring auntie tipped the host 100 light sticks1.¡± ¡°The host¡¯s female fan tips the host 200 light sticks.¡± Seeing the comments coming to life again, Bell smiled. At that moment, there was a movement in the grass ahead. Bell stopped. ¡°Shh, lower your voice. There¡¯s something in the grass. Let¡¯s see what it is.¡± It was not only Bell. Everyone in front of the screen also noticed the movement in the grass and were attracted to it. ¡°Little friend, be careful. Snakes are common in this primeval forest. Run quickly.¡± ¡°Host, run quickly. If you are bitten by a poisonous snake in here, there¡¯s no way to rescue you immediately.¡± Many people on the screen began to worry about Bell. They were worried that some poisonous creatures might appear from the bushes. But Bell did not care. He only gestured for the audience to keep quiet. ¡°Everyone, don¡¯t panic. Let¡¯s see if it is just some wild hares.¡± ¡°Maybe our dinner will be settled.¡± Bell approached the bush cautiously. However, at this moment, there was a hissing sound. The grass rustled again. A two-meter-long, green-brown serpent with a yellow line on its back appeared before everyone. Because the camera was too close, the long serpent seemed to suddenly appear in front of everyone, wanting to crawl out of the screen. Everyone in front of the screen was shocked. ¡°F*ck! F*cking hell! I almost pissed my pants.¡± ¡°Previous poster, you almost did, but I did it already.¡± ¡°Little friend, run quickly. This might be a poisonous snake. It will be troublesome if you are bitten.¡± The audience was worried about Bell¡¯s safety. Bell smiled when he saw the snake. ¡°Everyone, don¡¯t worry. This is Zaocys dhumnades, not a poisonous snake. Looking at its size, it should be an adult. My dinner will be it.¡± ¡°Snake meat is delicious. Fresh snake meat is like a juicy steak, and is filled with protein.¡± Bell even licked his lips. Chapter 27 Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios The audience was stunned when they saw Bell¡¯s expression. ¡°Little friend, don¡¯t be ridiculous. If you encounter snakes in the wild, you should run quickly. It¡¯s very dangerous.¡± ¡°Previous poster is right. Just now, there was another contestant who tried to capture a snake and was bitten by it. He¡¯s still in the midst of emergency treatment.¡± ¡°I also just came over from that live-stream. I heard that it¡¯s even an old wilderness survival streamer. It¡¯s over for him.¡± On the screen, everyone was asking Bell to get away from the snake quickly. Bell looked at the comments on the screen and smiled confidently. ¡°Don¡¯t be anxious. Firstly, this snake is not poisonous. In the wild, the distinction between animals is very important, and it allows you to judge more accurately how much threat that animal poses to you.¡± ¡°Usually, in a situation where resources are scarce, don¡¯t easily provoke poisonous or unfamiliar creatures. It will cause a lot of trouble for yourself.¡± ¡°But this dark snake in front of us is an exception.¡± ¡°This snake is, like I said, non-venomous. It usually hunts fish, frogs, and rats as its food.¡± ¡°These snakes are docile and don¡¯t normally attack humans. They hunt by relying on their size advantage and speed.¡± ¡°But they will retaliate when they are frightened.¡± Bell looked at the dark snake and did not forget to explain to everyone at the same time. Hearing Bell¡¯s explanation, the audience in front of the screen finally believed that Bell really recognized this snake. At the same time, after knowing that this snake was not poisonous, the female fans in front of the screen were relieved. ¡°The host is so awesome. Not only does he know about plants, but he also knows so much about animals!¡± ¡°Host, are you accepting disciples? I want to take you as my master.¡± ¡°Little friend, since this snake is not poisonous, run quickly. This thing looks so dark that it¡¯s scary.¡± Among the audience, some were worried for Bell, some were just joining in the fun, and some were persuading him to run. Bell did not accept their suggestion. ¡°Everyone, don¡¯t be nervous. If it were any other time, I would suggest that you find a professional to deal with the snakes and not try to mess with it, but we¡¯re in the wilderness now. We have to use all the resources we can see.¡± ¡°I am going to teach everyone how to catch some snakes.¡± With that, Bell slowly retreated, his gaze never leaving the dark snake. He slowly walked to a fallen tree branch and broke it off. ¡°What is the host doing? Is he going to use the tree branch to chase the snake away?¡± ¡°Previous poster, you¡¯re really naive.¡± ¡°The host already has a wooden stick in his hand. If he wanted to scare the snake away, he would have done it already. Why would he still be looking for another branch?¡± Everyone discussed. On Bell¡¯s side, he took out the dagger given by the production team and sharpened the tree branch. Soon, the tree branch became like a harpoon. ¡°Does the host know martial arts? Why are you holding two tree branches, is it a dual wielding style?¡± ¡°Previous poster, have you watched too many anime?¡± Everyone was making wild guesses. Looking at the tree branch in his hand, Bell nodded in satisfaction. His slightly chubby face looked cute with that serious expression. ¡°Ah! No, I can¡¯t take it anymore. My heart is melting.¡± ¡°Little friend, don¡¯t do the live broadcast anymore. Sister will raise you.¡± ¡°Do you have a girlfriend? If you do, what do you think about having one more?¡± ¡°Hey! 110? There is a female pervert here. Yes, she¡¯s very agitated right now.¡± ¡°Female Patron, it¡¯s illegal to have an affair with minors. You will be sentenced to life imprisonment of three to five years. If you want to do anything, just take it out on me.¡± ¡°Get lost! I am asking for my daughter!¡± Looking at the messages on the screen, Bell¡¯s forehead darkened. ¡°Cough cough!¡± Bell coughed lightly and attracted everyone¡¯s attention again. ¡°Everyone, don¡¯t make wild guesses. The reason why I am sharpening this tree branch is to capture this dark snake.¡± ¡°Although this snake is not poisonous, it is very fast. To be precise, almost all snakes are fast, so we need to use some tools to capture them.¡± As he spoke, Bell slowly approached the snake. Sensing Bell¡¯s approach, the snake slowly twisted and retreated. The people in front of the screen also became nervous. They did not even dare to breathe loudly, afraid that they would disturb Bell. The boy and the snake looked at each other. Suddenly, the snake, which had been forced to a corner by Bell, moved. The black snake was like a bolt of lightning. It was so fast that some of the audience did not even see its movement clearly. Bell¡¯s eyes lit up. He had been waiting for this moment. Just as the snake shot forward, the tree branch in Bell¡¯s left hand suddenly stabbed forward. The sharpened end of the tree branch pierced into the open mouth of the dark snake, stopping it. Then, Bell raised the wooden stick in his right hand and swung it down, hitting the area seven inches below the snake¡¯s head. After suffering this fatal attack, the ferocious snake immediately fell silent, as if it had died. The audience finally reacted. ¡°This¡­ this snake is dead?¡± ¡°What happened just now?¡± ¡°It was too fast. Has the host really trained before?¡± ¡°Everyone, I won¡¯t keep this from you, I am the recruitment disciple of the Shaolin Monastery. The host is our eldest senior brother. This time, our eldest senior brother has left the mountain to gain experience.¡± ¡°Previous poster, can you be any more ridiculous?¡± Bell smiled when he saw the audience in the live-stream become active again. ¡°Everyone, this snake should be dead now. This is a small trick to catch snakes. Everyone can try to learn it.¡± The comments showed that their minds had learned the trick, but their body was not capable. Bell didn¡¯t say anything else. ¡°Alright, everyone, we have to deal with this snake.¡± ¡°This is our dinner, we can¡¯t waste it.¡± ¡°Remember that snakes can pretend to be dead, so don¡¯t touch them unless you¡¯re sure.¡± While speaking, Bell took out his dagger and found some vines to tie the dagger and the wooden stick together. Then, he stabbed the snake¡¯s head. Only after doing all this, Bell heaved a sigh of relief. ¡°Alright, it is no threat to us now.¡± With that, Bell skinned and removed the internal organs with the help of the tools in his hand and quickly dealt with the snake. Only the smooth smooth snake meat was left behind which he placed in his bag. ¡°That was sweet!¡± ¡°Host, may I ask where you are from and why you are so familiar with killing snakes?¡± ¡°Mom, I learned many things today. Don¡¯t pull me.. I want to watch more!¡± Chapter 28 Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios ¡°F*ck, the host is awesome. It could be done like this too.¡± ¡°Why didn¡¯t I think of this when I was catching ants? This won¡¯t do, I am going to give it a try too.¡± ¡°Spotted a primary school student.¡± ¡°Who says I¡¯m a primary school student? Can¡¯t I miss being a child?¡± Seeing Bell pull out a large number of termites with the branch, everyone in the live-stream was in a heated discussion. Bell showed the leaves to the camera. The termites moved to Bell¡¯s hand. ¡°F*ck, don¡¯t come over. I have trypophobia.¡± Some female audience members who were afraid of insects could not take it anymore and began to complain. Bell looked at the termites in his hand and smiled. ¡°Everyone, these are good things. I believe many people have seen termites, but I believe not many have eaten this thing.¡± Bell grabbed a winged termite and pressed its wings, bringing it to the camera. Compared to the dense group of termites, a small termite looked more acceptable. It even looked a little cute. Bell continued. ¡°If you see termites in the wild, I suggest that you don¡¯t let them go.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t look at the small size of these termites. They are a rich source of protein.¡± ¡°This can provide us with a lot of energy.¡± ¡°Before eating these winged termites, you have to remove their wings. These things are not easy to digest.¡± Bell said as he removed their wings. ¡°F*ck, are you serious? Are you really eating it?¡± ¡°Little friend, don¡¯t do it. It¡¯s a joke. There¡¯s no need to go so far. After all, these are insects.¡± Compared to seeking novelty, some women in Bell¡¯s live-stream were attracted to his cute appearance. Seeing a child like Bell eating insects, some female fans could not bear it. However, Bell only smiled when he saw these comments. ¡°Thank you for your concern, but we¡¯re living in the wilderness now. We have to use all available resources.¡± ¡°To be honest, if the situation allowed it, it would be better if we boiled or fried them. Unfortunately, in this situation, we can only eat it raw. Fortunately, eating it raw has higher nutritional value.¡± Bell even put on a helpless expression, making everyone laugh again. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, host. We have already taken a screenshot of the person who said he would reward you. If he dares to go back on his words, we will trace his IP and beat him up.¡± ¡°F*ck off! Who said I would go back on my word? If the host dares to eat it, I will immediately gift him.¡± Comments rolled across the screen. After dealing with the termites¡¯ wings, Bell grabbed them and stuffed them into his mouth. After chewing gently, his chubby face frowned. This expression was inexplicably much more adorable. ¡°F*ck! He really ate it! The host is awesome! The host is awesome!¡± ¡°Host, from today onwards, I will be your hardcore fan.¡± ¡°I thank the hardcore fan for gifting the host ten rockets.¡± ¡°Boss is generous.¡± ¡°Boss, feed me.¡± The person who had said that he would reward Bell sent ten rockets as promised. Immediately, rockets covered the screen one after the other. After the rockets were distributed, there were treasure chests left behind. As the rockets were released, all the audience saw the treasure chests. These treasure chests were given to all the audience in Bell¡¯s live-stream. The ten rockets had instantly increased Bell¡¯s popularity. ¡°All hail the tycoon.¡± ¡°Where¡¯s the treasure chest? Did you guys already finish snatching it?¡± ¡°F*ck, where is this? Why is there such a young streamer? Did I enter the wrong place?¡± ¡°Previous poster, you must be new. This is the hardcore streamer of the wilderness survival knowledge.¡± ¡°Welcome, new friends.¡± The large number of fans who entered the live-stream were stunned when they saw Bell¡¯s appearance. They had been watching Wilderness Survival streams of other contestants. Other than Bell, the other players in Wilderness Survival were at least 20 years old. With his young age, Bell instantly caught everyone¡¯s attention. Bell also cleverly seized the opportunity to interact with the new audience. ¡°Thank you for the tip. Let¡¯s welcome our new audience. This is Bell¡¯s Wilderness Survival live-stream. Those who are interested can subscribe by clicking on the top right corner of the stream.¡± Because Bell was only eight years old, his voice was still very soft. The moment he opened his mouth, he attracted the attention of the new audience. ¡°Little friend, are you really a broadcaster? Ah, you¡¯re so cute.¡± ¡°Little friend, do you have a girlfriend? What do you think of me?¡± ¡°Previous poster, someone has already asked this question.¡± ¡°Host, do you need legal help?¡± Bell¡¯s cute appearance instantly attracted the attention of the new female audience. At the same time, the broadcast room was also focused on the eight-year-old contestant, Bell. The beautiful host saw that Bell had really eaten a large number of termites, and her face revealed a look of disbelief. ¡°This contestant has just consumed a large number of termites. Is this really okay? Will eating so many insects in the wild not affect his body?¡± The host was puzzled. In her mind, she felt that insects could not be eaten. However, when Bear and Ed saw Bell¡¯s actions, their eyes revealed praise. ¡°This young contestant is very wise. There¡¯s no problem with his actions.¡± ¡°Without having an understanding of the insects, it¡¯s not wise to eat them, but termites are non-toxic. Moreover, this contestant¡¯s description is very accurate. The protein contained in termites is very high.¡± ¡°I don¡¯t think I need to explain how important proteins are to the human body when there is a lack of food in the wild.¡± ¡°Seeing this contestant chewing, I¡¯m a little tempted. I am missing this delicacy.¡± Bear and Ed even licked their lips as if they were reminiscing. The audience instantly felt a chill. Good lord, the other contestants were just eating them to survive, and these people treated them as a delicacy. Li Ziqi, who was a special guest, nodded in agreement. As a woman, she also liked the white and tender Chinese boy, Bell. Although she was not a master at survival in the wilderness, she knew a lot about the wilderness. ¡°The two sirs are right. Eating termites might not be common in other countries, but it is very common to eat insects in our country¡¯s central and southern regions. Not only do we eat ants, but also some other insects.¡± ¡°Of course, they need to be cooked.¡± ¡°I would probably not be able to eat the termite raw like this contestant, but I admire him for being able to grasp so much expertise at such a young age. I think he has a very good chance of passing this preliminary.¡± Li Ziqi was not stingy with her praise. Bear and Ed also nodded. ¡°That¡¯s right, I think this contestant has a high chance of winning. At least for now, his performance is flawless.¡± Many people in the production team also thought highly about Bell¡¯s prospects. Only a few guests scoffed at their words, since they did not understand the meaning behind Bell¡¯s actions. The camera returned to Bell. After eating the termites and conversing with the audience for a while, Bell did not waste time. He took out the dagger and slowly dug out the termite nest from the ground before putting them in his backpack. ¡°Look, what is the host doing? Why did he take away this nest?¡± ¡°F*ck, the host is so small. He looks so funny carrying such a huge nest.¡± ¡°My heart aches for the host..¡± Chapter 29 Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios After butchering the snake, Bell casually wiped the blood on his hand on the soil. ¡°This snake is not small. It should be enough for dinner.¡± After removing the stench from his hand, Bell interacted with the audience. ¡°The host is awesome, a real professional!¡± ¡°How can you eat snakes? Snakes are so cute.¡± ¡°Previous poster, is your period normal?¡± Seeing the audience talking nonsense in the comments, Bell was helpless. He did not have time to moderate these comments. In order to not let the audience continue the nonsense, Bell could only change the topic to attract their attention. ¡°Everyone, now that we have solved the food problem, we have to complete our previous goal and determine our location and plan our route.¡± Bell said while walking. ¡°I know! The host said that we have to find a high spot to confirm our location.¡± Hearing Bell¡¯s words, some of the audience interacted. Looking at the comments, Bell nodded. ¡°That¡¯s right. Our next step is to go to higher terrain. On one hand, we need to confirm our location, but we have another goal as well.¡± Bell deliberately paused to whet the audience¡¯s appetite. ¡°Another goal? Didn¡¯t the host say that it is to confirm the location?¡± ¡°That¡¯s right. Is there any other use in reaching higher ground?¡± The audience was puzzled. In the broadcast room, the female host¡¯s gaze was on Bell as well. She was also puzzled. She looked at Bear and Ed beside her. ¡°This contestant Bell said that he wants to go to a high ground to confirm his location, but from his words, he seems to have other motives as well. I wonder if you can tell us what this contestant¡¯s goal is?¡± The female host did not know much about wilderness survival, but she had two professionals beside her, so she handed the problem to the two of them. Ed smiled. ¡°This young contestant is the most professional among all the contestants. At least, I don¡¯t see other contestants thinking about this. If I¡¯m not wrong, his goal should be to find a water source.¡± ¡°That¡¯s right. It¡¯s indeed easier to find a water source if you have a high vantage point.¡± Bear also nodded. At the same time, Bell was explaining his goal to the audience. ¡°Host, why do we have to go higher to find water? Is it easier to accumulate water at higher places?¡± Some of the audience asked. Seeing this question, Bell shook his head. ¡°Actually, the reason why we need to go to a higher ground to search for water sources is very simple.¡± ¡°Water flows down. It¡¯s easier to observe the terrain from higher ground. You just have to look for low terrains. The lower the terrain, the higher the possibility of finding a water source.¡± ¡°Similarly, our lives are tied with water, so if we follow the river, there¡¯s a high chance of us leaving the primeval forest and completing our goal.¡± Bell held a wooden stick in his hand and explained to the audience as he explored the path. ¡°Amazing, so there was such a thing.¡± ¡°I¡¯ve learned. I¡¯m no longer afraid of dying of thirst in the wild.¡± ¡°Hehe, kid, don¡¯t talk nonsense. I¡¯ll just smile and not speak.¡± As Bell¡¯s live-stream became longer and longer, many new audiences entered his live-stream. They had not seen Bell¡¯s way of survival before, so they naturally did not believe that a child less than ten years old had such knowledge. They took it as nonsensical talk. Bell could not be bothered to say anything about it. Some people were always arrogant and complacent about things they did not understand. But the clowns were themselves. However, even if Bell did not respond, the audience who had watched his live broadcast could not take the insult. ¡°Hey! Previous poster, what¡¯s your meaning, huh? Being so mysterious, either put up or shut up!¡± ¡°That¡¯s right, you know a lot, right? Why don¡¯t I see you in the show?¡± ¡°Yeah, have you seen the host¡¯s earlier actions? You just arrived and already started flaming!¡± Before Bell could speak, a group of people in the live-stream were already crying out for injustice. Immediately, the audience who was being sarcastic in the live-stream was spat out. Seeing that someone was speaking up for him, although Bell was happy, he still stood forward to maintain the atmosphere in the live-stream. ¡°Alright, there is no need to be angry. There will be those who like my stream and those who don¡¯t. The live broadcast will continue for a long time. Time will prove everything.¡± Bell acted like a little adult and instantly caused the group of fans in the live-stream to feel emotional. ¡°Bell¡¯s older sister fan gifts x300 hearts.¡± ¡°A certain eSports chair brand tipped host X500 hearts.¡± ¡°Green flight backpack gifts x200 hearts!¡± ¡°¡­¡± Reward notifications appeared on the screen. ¡°Thank you for your support. We are still a distance away from the peak. If you have any questions about survival in the wild, you can ask me. I will answer them for you.¡± Everyone was interested. Because Bell had just captured a snake, the first thing they asked was naturally related to snakes. ¡°Host, I want to ask you. I heard that poisonous snakes can be eaten. Is that true?¡± Seeing this question, the other audience also wanted to see how Bell would answer. ¡°The flesh of poisonous snakes can be eaten. The venom of poisonous snakes is stored in the glands in the head. As long as the glands are not destroyed when killing the snakes, the flesh of poisonous snakes is no different from ordinary snake meat.¡± ¡°The composition of the venom itself is mostly made of proteins. After proper procedures, it¡¯s almost edible. Of course, it¡¯s not recommended.¡± Hearing Bell¡¯s serious and detailed answer, the live-stream was flooded with comments again. ¡°Host, I am going to set your broadcast schedule as my alarm to learn.¡± ¡°Yo, friend above, you¡¯re here to learn too.¡± ¡°The host is so awesome. I will have a baby after a year, I hope my baby is as smart as the host. I have already bought donkey¡¯s milk powder for the child. A wise mother is trustworthy.¡± ¡°Hey! Previous poster, don¡¯t advertise here. Also, you are giving birth after a year? You¡¯re not pregnant, right?¡± ¡°Brother, don¡¯t talk nonsense. A year is normal. Back then, my pregnancy lasted for three years and six months.¡± While the audience chatted with each other, Bell finally reached the top of a mountain and confirmed the terrain. ¡°Everyone, look at the direction I¡¯m pointing. It¡¯s clearly lower than other places. We can try our luck there.¡± Bell pointed to a spot not far away and said to the audience. Everyone was also focused on watching to see if Bell could find a water source. Soon, Bell arrived at the place that he had pointed earlier. However, as he got closer, he did not find any water source. Looking at the soil on the ground, Bell grabbed it and gently rubbed it before shaking his head. ¡°I¡¯m sorry. Although the soil here is moist, there is no river. We might have to continue moving forward.¡± ¡°However, don¡¯t be discouraged. It¡¯s important to maintain a good mentality in the wilderness.¡± Bell even revealed a cute smile. The female audience saw Bell¡¯s cute appearance and sent another wave of gifts. After walking for a while, Bell felt exhausted. He was about to lean against a tree trunk to rest when he suddenly felt something amiss. He smiled again. ¡°Guys, guess what I found. Maybe we can have some dessert before dinner.¡± With that, Bell pulled off a piece of tree bark from the tree trunk. Immediately, termites appeared before everyone. Some of the termites looked white like grains of large rice. At this moment, one comment stood out among other comments. ¡°F*ck, host, if you dare to eat these insects, I¡¯ll send you a gift worth ten thousand dollars now..¡± Chapter 30 Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios ¡°F*ck, the host is awesome. It could be done like this too.¡± ¡°Why didn¡¯t I think of this when I was catching ants? This won¡¯t do, I am going to give it a try too.¡± ¡°Spotted a primary school student.¡± ¡°Who says I¡¯m a primary school student? Can¡¯t I miss being a child?¡± Seeing Bell pull out a large number of termites with the branch, everyone in the live-stream was in a heated discussion. Bell showed the leaves to the camera. The termites moved to Bell¡¯s hand. ¡°F*ck, don¡¯t come over. I have trypophobia.¡± Some female audience members who were afraid of insects could not take it anymore and began to complain.

Who said I would go back on my word? If the host dares to eat it, I will immediately gift him.¡± Comments rolled across the screen. After dealing with the termites¡¯ wings, Bell grabbed them and stuffed them into his mouth. After chewing gently, his chubby face frowned. This expression was inexplicably much more adorable. ¡°F*ck! He really ate it! The host is awesome! The host is awesome!¡± ¡°Host, from today onwards, I will be your hardcore fan.¡± ¡°I thank the hardcore fan for gifting the host ten rockets.¡± ¡°Boss is generous.¡± ¡°Boss, feed me.¡± The person who had said that he would reward Bell sent ten rockets as promised. Immediately, rockets covered the screen one after the other. After the rockets were distributed, there were treasure chests left behind. As the rockets were released, all the audience saw the treasure chests. These treasure chests were given to all the audience in Bell¡¯s live-stream. The ten rockets had instantly increased Bell¡¯s popularity. ¡°All hail the tycoon.¡± ¡°Where¡¯s the treasure chest? Did you guys already finish snatching it?¡± ¡°F*ck, where is this? Why is there such a young streamer? Did I enter the wrong place?¡± ¡°Previous poster, you must be new. This is the hardcore streamer of the wilderness survival knowledge.¡± ¡°Welcome, new friends.¡± The large number of fans who entered the live-stream were stunned when they saw Bell¡¯s appearance. They had been watching Wilderness Survival streams of other contestants. Other than Bell, the other players in Wilderness Survival were at least 20 years old. With his young age, Bell instantly caught everyone¡¯s attention. Bell also cleverly seized the opportunity to interact with the new audience. ¡°Thank you for the tip. Let¡¯s welcome our new audience. This is Bell¡¯s Wilderness Survival live-stream. Those who are interested can subscribe by clicking on the top right corner of the stream.¡± Because Bell was only eight years old, his voice was still very soft. The moment he opened his mouth, he attracted the attention of the new audience. ¡°Little friend, are you really a broadcaster? Ah, you¡¯re so cute.¡± ¡°Little friend, do you have a girlfriend? What do you think of me?¡± ¡°Previous poster, someone has already asked this question.¡± ¡°Host, do you need legal help?¡± Bell¡¯s cute appearance instantly attracted the attention of the new female audience. At the same time, the broadcast room was also focused on the eight-year-old contestant, Bell. The beautiful host saw that Bell had really eaten a large number of termites, and her face revealed a look of disbelief. ¡°This contestant has just consumed a large number of termites. Is this really okay? Will eating so many insects in the wild not affect his body?¡± The host was puzzled. In her mind, she felt that insects could not be eaten. However, when Bear and Ed saw Bell¡¯s actions, their eyes revealed praise. ¡°This young contestant is very wise. There¡¯s no problem with his actions.¡± ¡°Without having an understanding of the insects, it¡¯s not wise to eat them, but termites are non-toxic. Moreover, this contestant¡¯s description is very accurate. The protein contained in termites is very high.¡± ¡°I don¡¯t think I need to explain how important proteins are to the human body when there is a lack of food in the wild.¡± ¡°Seeing this contestant chewing, I¡¯m a little tempted. I am missing this delicacy.¡± Bear and Ed even licked their lips as if they were reminiscing. The audience instantly felt a chill. Good lord, the other contestants were just eating them to survive, and these people treated them as a delicacy. Li Ziqi, who was a special guest, nodded in agreement. As a woman, she also liked the white and tender Chinese boy, Bell. Although she was not a master at survival in the wilderness, she knew a lot about the wilderness. ¡°The two sirs are right. Eating termites might not be common in other countries, but it is very common to eat insects in our country¡¯s central and southern regions. Not only do we eat ants, but also some other insects.¡± ¡°Of course, they need to be cooked.¡± ¡°I would probably not be able to eat the termite raw like this contestant, but I admire him for being able to grasp so much expertise at such a young age. I think he has a very good chance of passing this preliminary.¡± Li Ziqi was not stingy with her praise. Bear and Ed also nodded. ¡°That¡¯s right, I think this contestant has a high chance of winning. At least for now, his performance is flawless.¡± Many people in the production team also thought highly about Bell¡¯s prospects. Only a few guests scoffed at their words, since they did not understand the meaning behind Bell¡¯s actions. The camera returned to Bell. After eating the termites and conversing with the audience for a while, Bell did not waste time. He took out the dagger and slowly dug out the termite nest from the ground before putting them in his backpack. ¡°Look, what is the host doing? Why did he take away this nest?¡± ¡°F*ck, the host is so small. He looks so funny carrying such a huge nest.¡± ¡°My heart aches for the host..¡± Chapter 31 Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios A conspicuous comment suddenly appeared on the screen. ¡°Host, if you really eat these insects, I¡¯ll gift you ten thousand USD.¡± An audience member who was seeking novelty sent a message. The moment this message was posted, the comments exploded. ¡°Little friend, don¡¯t believe him. How can we eat these insects? What if you get sick?¡± ¡°Previous poster, are you an idiot? These are termites. They are used as food in many places, but they are mostly cooked.¡± The comments were divided into two sides. One group wanted to see Bell eat these termites. The other group was Bell¡¯s female fans who could not bear to see him eat these insects. Bell smiled at the comments. ¡°Alright, don¡¯t be nervous. Actually, this matter isn¡¯t as serious as everyone says.¡± ¡°Firstly, I thank that audience for being willing to give me a reward. Also, I want to explain to everyone.¡± ¡°These are termites. They are found all over the world.¡± ¡°These little guys usually eat things like wood and furniture, so if you see them at home, you have to clear them out as soon as possible.¡± ¡°But if you see it in the wilderness when you don¡¯t have food, congratulations on your luck.¡± Bell even carefully opened his palm and showed the termite eggs he had collected in front of the camera. ¡°These are termite eggs. Don¡¯t be fooled by its appearance. At the same weight, it contains five times more protein than beef.¡± Bell explained to the audience. ¡°Host, let alone five times, even if it¡¯s 15 times, these few eggs won¡¯t be enough to fill anyone¡¯s stomach.¡± ¡°Little friend, forget it. After all, this is unhygienic.¡± ¡°Previous poster, are you a fool? This is wilderness survival, not a food shop.¡± Everyone was discussing fervently. Bell ignored them. He looked at the termites that he had removed from the tree bark and carefully observed them. ¡°Look what I found.¡± Bell carefully dug the ground. ¡°Host, are you preparing to eat dirt? There is no need to go that far.¡± Some people who did not understand said. However, as the camera approached, they saw a small row of termites on the ground moving in one direction. ¡°It looks like they¡¯re heading for the nest. Let¡¯s follow them.¡± Bell was like a playful child. Some of the audience couldn¡¯t help but smile when they saw Bell¡¯s cute appearance. ¡°Playing with ants? As expected, the host is still too young, but this is so cute.¡± ¡°When I have a child in the future, I¡¯ll let him get closer to nature. Indeed, children are best matched with nature.¡± Everyone felt that the reason why Bell followed these termites was because they stimulated his childlike nature. But soon, they realized that they were wrong. After walking for a short while, the audience saw a pile of soil several meters tall. The soil was filled with various holes that led in all directions. The termites that Bell had followed earlier had entered the mound. Bell¡¯s eyes lit up. ¡°Everyone, we¡¯re in luck.¡± ¡°I believe many people know what this is. This is a termite¡¯s nest. Although it looks like this, the structure is very magical. It¡¯s much more complicated than our transportation routes.¡± ¡°Moreover, this mound of soil is not like ordinary soil that is easy to destroy. It was carefully reinforced by these termites. Its hardness is not much different from rocks.¡± Bell slowly approached the nest while explaining. ¡°A termite¡¯s nest is divided into countless small rooms that store termites¡¯ food and termite eggs.¡± ¡°These are all extremely rare nutrients in the wild.¡± Everyone understood. ¡°As expected, the host is not an ordinary child. Ordinary children would have played with the termites, but the host is planning to add them to dinner.¡± ¡°The person who said that he would gift the host if the host ate the termites, have you loaded your wallet?¡± Some of the audience who were watching the stream remembered that person. After discovering these comments, the person who had sent the message did not hide. Instead, he stood forward. ¡°I¡¯ll keep my word. If the host dares to eat these termites, I¡¯ll immediately send the gift.¡± Looking at the messages on the screen, Bell smiled. ¡°No need to be anxious. I won¡¯t let go of these good things. However, this termite nest is too hard. There are only two ways to get the termites out.¡± ¡°The first is naturally to pour a lot of water into the nest, and they will naturally come out.¡± ¡°Unfortunately, even I am thirsty. We can¡¯t fulfill that condition, so we can only choose the second method.¡± Bell said and revealed a helpless expression. His appearance made the audience laugh again. ¡°Ah, I can¡¯t take it anymore. How can this broadcaster be so cute?¡± ¡°The host is trying to trick me into giving birth again.¡± ¡°Previous poster, please consider taking a look in the mirror first.¡± ¡°I heard that children who eat grapes will become cute. Where can you buy grapes? Xinjiang grapes are specially provided. Please add my whatsapp 638******.¡± As Bell¡¯s popularity increased, some advertisements began to appear on the screen. However, there was no manager in Bell¡¯s live-stream. He was busy looking after himself, so he could only let it be. At this moment, his priority was to lure the termites out of the nest and satiate his hunger. Bell got up and looked around before locking his gaze on a tree. He moved to the tree and broke a branch that had tender leaves before returning to the termite¡¯s nest. The audience was puzzled. ¡°Host, what are you doing? Didn¡¯t you say you were going to eat termites? Why are you breaking a tree branch again?¡± ¡°I understand. The host might think that it¡¯s a little boring to eat the termites alone, so he found some tender leaves to serve as side dishes.¡± ¡°Previous poster, you¡¯re too smart. Do you want to make friends? I¡¯m a brain specialist at the Central Hospital. I will give you a 20% discount.¡± ¡°Pfft! Are you trying to make me laugh?¡± Seeing the comments, Bell waved the branch in his hand. ¡°Alright, stop guessing. This thing is to lure out the termites.¡± Bell inserted the branch into the nest and stirred it gently. When the branch was pulled out again, the tender leaves had a large group of termites biting on it.. Chapter 32 Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios ¡°Host, go ahead. I¡¯ve already taken out my notebook.¡± ¡°It¡¯s time to spread knowledge. What are you waiting for? Take notes!¡± Looking at the exaggerated comments, Bell smiled helplessly. ¡°Everyone, don¡¯t be so excited. It¡¯s just some simple knowledge. I hope you guys won¡¯t need to use it. After all, it is better to go through professional guidance if you want to adventure in the wild.¡± Bell reminded kindly. ¡°When gathering the firewood, you have to pay attention. You have to choose the wood that makes cracking sounds when broken.¡± ¡°Such wood has been exposed to the outside for a long time. The water inside is basically dry, so it¡¯s easy to ignite.¡± ¡°It is better not to pick up branches that emit muffled sounds like this. It¡¯s very difficult to ignite these branches.¡± As he spoke, Bell even deliberately chose two branches to compare with. ¡°Host, you¡¯re so meticulous. Thank you. I¡¯ve learned and fully grasped it.¡± In the broadcast room, Ed and Bear had already regained their senses from seeing Bell¡¯s terrifying strength. Seeing Bell explaining the knowledge to everyone, the two nodded. ¡°That¡¯s right, this contestant is indeed very professional. This knowledge of choosing the wood is very detailed.¡± ¡°If you ask novices in wilderness survival to choose firewood, they only know to choose thin sticks or branches that are easy to break, but few people pay attention to these.¡± ¡°That¡¯s right, this contestant is indeed very professional, but he has another problem now.¡± Ed also spoke. The several women in the broadcast room became nervous when they heard there was another problem that Bell had to resolve. Even the audience became nervous. They wanted to know what the problem was. Ed slowly said, ¡°If you want to survive in the wilderness, the most important thing is the source of fire. I wonder how our contestant will start a fire? Many people know the theory of making fire, but in practice, there are very few people who can really ignite fire.¡± Ed explained. Everyone was worried. They had heard of the concept of drilling wood to make fire. Many people had even tested it. However, not many people succeeded. This required various details, and was not a technique that ordinary newbies could grasp. The female host nodded. That¡¯s right, among these thousands of contestants, there were less than a hundred who could successfully start a fire by drilling wood. One out of ten participants was already a very high ratio, and some of them relied on luck. The audience wanted to know how Bell would resolve this problem. At this moment, Bell had already finished gathering the wood and returned to his shelter. Looking at the pile of wood, Bell wiped the sweat from his forehead. Although his strength was not bad, the long period of activity exhausted him. Looking at the comments on the screen, Bell continued his explanation. ¡°Alright, everyone, the preparations are done. What¡¯s next is to drill wood to start a fire.¡± ¡°I believe most of you have heard of this method. Many people have tried it, but few have succeeded. Now, I will teach everyone the correct way to start a fire by drilling wood.¡± ¡°Firstly, we need to find a slightly dry land and gather some stones. This is mainly to prevent the flames from spreading out after the fire is started. If we accidentally start a forest fire, that would be a real mess. I¡¯ll probably have to live stream in prison for the rest of my life.¡± Bell showed an exaggerated expression. The comments were also filled with sly humor. ¡°Welcome to this episode¡¯s Prison Survival. Today, I will explain how to open the prison door.¡± Bell smiled and said. ¡°Alright, this is not an issue. I won¡¯t let such a thing happen.¡± ¡°We have finished stacking the stones. Now, we need to trim some wood, as well as get some dry weeds, and some sand to increase the friction.¡± Bell prepared everything patiently. Then, the audience saw Bell take off a shoelace, and tie it once around the trimmed wood, then tie its ends to another wood, making a bow-like shape. Then, like a saw, he moved it back and forth. Soon, black smoke rose from the dry weeds below. Bell carefully added some more weeds and blew gently. Under the audience¡¯s gazes, a tiny flame rose. Looking at the rising flames, Bell smiled. In the broadcast room, Bear and Ed were also surprised. Even they had not thought of using this method to start a fire. In the past, the two of them still used their hands to drill into the wood. Only after long grinding could they start a small fire. Bear smiled bitterly. ¡°I have learned today. I can use this method next time in Man vs. Wild.¡± ¡°That¡¯s right, this method is much more brilliant.¡± The two survival specialists nodded in agreement. In the live-stream, Bell gained another wave of popularity. After starting the fire, Bell¡¯s small figure continued to work in front of the fire. He opened his backpack and took out the dark snake meat. He looked around and chose a tree branch to use as a skewer to hold the snake meat. Sitting beside the fire, Bell smiled. ¡°Everyone, it¡¯s finally time to eat. Our dinner is pretty good. Let¡¯s have roasted snake meat.¡± ¡°This isn¡¯t enough for me, but it can replenish some of my energy.¡± Bell put the snake over the fire. ¡°By the way, I almost forgot to mention this. You have to pay attention to something when cooking in the wild.¡± ¡°Everyone, watch carefully. You might be able to use it during a normal barbecue as well.¡± Bell said with a smile, arousing everyone¡¯s interest again. Everyone wanted to know what technique he was talking about.. Chapter 33 Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios Bell sat beside the fire with a snake meat skewer in his hand. While cooking the snake meat, he interacted with the audience. ¡°I am going to talk about the most practical techniques now.¡± ¡°When cooking food over open fire in the wild, you have to pay attention to the distance between the food and the flames.¡± ¡°You have to use the heat of the flames to cook food, and not cook in direct fire.¡± ¡°The temperature of the direct fire is too high, and it can easily burn the food. That can be a very bad situation.¡± Bell said with a tense expression. The people in front of the screen were also stirred by his emotions. ¡°Host, what if the food is burnt?¡± ¡°Looking at the streamer¡¯s nervous expression, it feels so scary. Is the charred food poisonous? That shouldn¡¯t be. My wife makes charred food every day.¡± ¡°Previous poster, I feel sorry for you.¡± ¡°No way. Is there really someone who hasn¡¯t eaten his wife¡¯s food?¡± ¡°Hey, stop arguing. Listen to what the host is going to say. Why did he say that charred food can¡¯t be eaten?¡± Some people still did not forget Bell¡¯s words. At this moment, they were very curious about the bad situation Bell had mentioned. After all, they did not know about some of the knowledge that Bell had previously shared. Perhaps this was some new knowledge they did not know. Bell said seriously while roasting the snake meat. ¡°Because burnt food tastes really bad.¡± ¡°¡­¡± ¡°¡­¡± Once Bell¡¯s answer was out, rows of ellipses flashed across the screen. ¡°Host, I¡¯ve taken off my pants. No, I¡¯ve already taken out the pen, and you are telling me this?¡± ¡°F*ck, the host is so cunning.¡± Seeing that his words had fooled the audience, Bell smiled. ¡°Haha, don¡¯t be agitated. There¡¯s nothing to do now, so I was just joking with everyone. However, what I said earlier was not false. Using heat to cook food makes it easier to accurately control the temperature. At the same time, it can completely cook the food from the inside out.¡± ¡°If you use direct fire to cook food, the skin of the meat might be charred, but the inside will still be raw.¡± The audience was not peeved over the joke. ¡°Host, you¡¯re so cute. Where can I adopt such a child?¡± ¡°Previous poster, I¡¯m 1.8 meters tall. Do you want to consider it? I will do you a favor.¡± ¡°How terrifying. Has the money for children already spread online as well?¡± After cooking the snake meat, he placed it aside and took out the water canteen from his bag and placed it on the fire. ¡°Although we drank the water from the pit, it¡¯s better to drink it after boiling as the heat kills most of the bacterias.¡± ¡°This is the wilderness after all. We have to be careful. If anything happens to our bodies, it will be very troublesome.¡± Bell explained to everyone. ¡°That¡¯s right, that¡¯s right. I just came from another live-stream. That streamer drank dirty water and is already unable to continue.¡± ¡°I feel that Bell¡¯s live-stream is so comfortable, while the other contestants¡¯ are a mess.¡± ¡°That¡¯s right. Many of them haven¡¯t even solved the problem of food and have begun to eat tree leaves. Some of them were poisoned by the poisonous leaves.¡± ¡°Life is short, why cut it even shorter?¡± ¡°Hades: Why am I having to work overtime?¡± The audience in the live-stream joked. At this moment, Bell had already finished cooking the snake meat, the originally light ping snake flesh turned white after being cooked. Although there was no sauce or oil, the snake meat was still roasted golden due to some fat on it. Bell moved the roasted snake meat closer to the camera. Seeing the steaming snake meat, many of the audience could not take it anymore. ¡°Ah, the host is breaking the rules. Why can he cook so well without seasoning?¡± ¡°F*ck, isn¡¯t this wilderness survival stream? Why is the host making my mouth salivate so late at night?¡± ¡°I want to eat barbecue!¡± ¡°The best ingredients usually only require the simplest cooking method.¡± The audience was caught off guard by the delicious looking snake meat. While the other contestants were still enduring the hunger, Bell was eating fragrant roasted snake meat. Whether it was water, shelter, or food, he did not lack anything. ¡°I was worried that the host would not be able to meet the daily nutritional requirement in the wilderness since he¡¯s so young. Now, it seems like I was overthinking. Bell, you have to exercise more and not gain weight.¡± ¡°It¡¯s not that bad. Look at how much Bell worked today. Moreover, I feel hungry just by looking at how he eats heartily. If my child can have half of his appetite, I would be very happy.¡± ¡°Bell is mine. No one is allowed to snatch him.¡± The comments were filled with cheers and laughter. On the other hand, in the other live-streams, the audience was worried seeing the streamers¡¯ situation. They had no lighting source, so the screen was dark, and they could not communicate with the audience properly. As for having a shelter, there was no need to mention it. After going through the situation of the other contestants, the screen in the broadcast room focused on Bell again. Bell was enjoying the snake meat he had cooked. Everyone in the broadcast room thought ¡®sure enough¡¯. ¡°As expected, this contestant is really amazing.¡± ¡°Look at that snake meat. My appetite has been aroused.¡± The beautiful host said jokingly. Unlike her, Bear and Ed were paying attention to something else. ¡°His shelter has been made properly. Moreover, he even used leaves to hide the shelter. The distance to the fire is just right. With the stones blocking it, it will not spread out. It seems like this contestant¡¯s condition will not decline today.¡± ¡°That¡¯s right. His food handling method is very good as well. It can be seen that this is definitely an experienced person.¡± Bear and Ed gave their evaluation. The two of them were survival specialists, so they definitely had the right to speak. Their words made everyone even more curious. What kind of experience did an eight-year-old have to master these survival skills? ¡°Our young contestant is simply a mystery. It really makes one curious.¡± The host said. Everyone was interested in this.. Chapter 34 Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios Following the female host¡¯s reminder, everyone thought of the question. Yes, this young man on the screen was only eight years old. What had he experienced to be able to master so many wilderness survival skills? Instantly, everyone was interested in Bell. At the same time, someone noticed the business opportunity. After some bloggers realized this hot topic, they immediately rushed to create a video. ¡°An 8-Year-Old Boy Alone in the Wilderness Survival!¡± ¡°The Story Behind Bell¡± ¡°Shocking! A Genius Friend of Mine Used to Make a Fire Like This.¡± Videos with eye-catching titles began to circulate crazily on the Internet. Soon, Bell¡¯s popularity rose on the trending topics on weibo and douyin. Some netizens who did not know about Bell before were curious and doubtful when they saw these articles. ¡°Hmph, the news these days really has no bottom line. At the age of eight, you would be afraid to even sleep alone. How can such a child possibly survive in the wild?¡± ¡°That¡¯s right. The news and bloggers these days really have no bottom line. They dare to hype up any topic. They don¡¯t even need to draft their lies.¡± ¡°The photos must be fabricated.¡± There were photos of Bell cooking snake meat beside the fire in the videos and articles, but these people were still unwilling to believe it. They thought that this was just a publicity stunt. They felt that the Internet was just using a child like Bell to attract attention. However, there were also many audience members and even Bell¡¯s fans online. After seeing these people say that the matter was fake publicity, these people were unhappy. ¡°The people above, did you even watch the video? We saw it on the live broadcast. These are all real.¡± ¡°The news and articles this time are not exaggerated. This eight-year-old child is really taking part in the Wilderness Survival.¡± Some of Bell¡¯s fans did not want Bell to be slandered, so they stood out and explained. The Internet was a magical place. It could help people increase their intelligence, but it could also reduce their intelligence. ¡°I don¡¯t believe it. Even if there are videos, there must be a team helping him from behind. Otherwise, how could an eight-year-old survive alone in the wilderness?¡± Even though they had already said that there were videos to prove it, a portion of the netizens still felt that their first thought was correct. They were even unwilling to take a look. Everyone was helpless against such people. There were trolls everywhere. As the news became widespread, not only did all the platforms in the country know about it, even the large news and video platforms overseas also learned about it. On Twitter and Instagram, Bell¡¯s video was forwarded crazily. ¡°God, China is really a magical place. A child at such a young age can actually survive in the wilderness.¡± ¡°How is this possible? He¡¯s even grilling the snake meat by himself. My son can¡¯t even cook a steak. By the way, he¡¯s already 14 years old.¡± ¡°Hehe, my daughter also can¡¯t cook steak. She is 28.¡± The topic was brought to a strange place. But the attention on Bell was still increasing. As the news spread, everyone focused on Bell. Some people even joined Bell¡¯s live broadcast. Such a huge amount of attention also attracted the attention of various reporters. In an office building of America. A middle-aged man was reading the information in his hand. On his left and right were the senior reporters of this media office. Looking at the reporters, the man said solemnly, ¡°This is big news. I don¡¯t have to say much about how many people are paying attention to it. We have to get the exclusive news. Everyone, get into action and contact this boy named Bell as soon as possible.¡± ¡°I will set up a project team for whoever can obtain exclusive reporting rights. The position of the supervisor and the company¡¯s shares will also be prepared.¡± The man immediately took a fancy to the business opportunity on Bell. Unlike other internet celebrities, Bell¡¯s potential could be continuously tapped. He was young and had enough attention gathered on him. Similarly, his survival skills were also real materials that could support his videos. At the same time, how he grasped these techniques was a mystery. All these factors combined could definitely make him a huge hit. The middle-aged man looked at Bell in the video as if he was admiring a treasure. However, he was not the only one with such thoughts. The live-stream platform Twitch also realized the value of Bell. Similar scenes appeared in the conference room. The boss was an experienced woman. ¡°No matter what, we have to contact him immediately and sign a contract with him at all costs.¡± ¡°Boss, what level of contract do we give him?¡± One of the employees asked. However, just as he said this, the woman also glared at him fiercely. ¡°Do you have a pig brain? The highest standard! Let him talk about the conditions himself as long as he can be contracted to our company.¡± All the managers present gasped. Good lord, this was really major. When internet celebrities were signed to the company, most of the smaller internet celebrities were only tools to make money for the company. Even if some internet celebrities with tens of millions of followers had a certain degree of autonomy, the ones in control of everything were the companies. But for Bell, his boss actually chose to let Bell negotiate. How was this signing a contract with an internet celebrity? This was simply looking for a partner. In other words, once Bell arrived at the company, his status would immediately be higher than theirs. Hearing this, all the managers lost interest. After all, no one wanted to find a higher up for themselves. However, the female boss¡¯s next words stirred up everyone¡¯s emotions. ¡°As long as someone can sign Bell, the company will set up a project leader position for him alone. 5% of the company¡¯s shares will be handed to him. 10% of all the benefits related to Bell will be given as well.¡± This company had really invested a lot in order to sign Bell. With the temptation of benefits, all the managers perked up. Everyone wanted to contact Bell immediately. Media world was in an uproar, and the reason was Bell. But Bell, who was the cause of the matter, was in the primeval forest, and unknown about the matter outside.. Chapter 35 Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios Bell had no idea what was going on in the outside world. At this moment, Bell was enjoying his dinner in the primeval forest. With food in his stomach, he felt much warmer. After filling his stomach, Bell looked at the comments on the screen. ¡°Everyone, we might have to get more food tomorrow. I realized that a snake is not enough.¡± Bell looked troubled. ¡°In the primeval forest, our work and rest schedule cannot be like in the outside. The time of clear vision is short. We have to make good use of this time and not waste it at all.¡± Because it was not safe to move in the middle of the night in the wild, the best thing to do was to stay in place and continue moving when dawn arrived. Bell continued to rummage through his backpack and took out the termite nest he had dug out from the ground. The audience was surprised and curious when they saw Bell take out this thing. ¡°Host, you said that this termite nest is very useful. What is its use? It should be the time to explain it, right?¡± ¡°That¡¯s right, that¡¯s right. It¡¯s time to explain the use of this termite nest.¡± Bell looked at the termite nest in his hand and smiled mysteriously. ¡°Of course it has a great use. Whether we can sleep well today will depend on this thing.¡± Bell carefully placed the termite nest into the fire. Immediately, smoke rose, accompanied by an unpleasant pungent smell. Everyone was surprised. ¡°F*ck, why are you throwing it into the fire? Is this thing edible? Are you not full yet? No, isn¡¯t this thing made of soil?¡± Many people thought that Bell was treating it as food. Bell was speechless. He was not yet at the state of needing to eat soil. Looking at the comments on the screen, Bell explained. ¡°Alright, let me explain. The reason why we placed this termite nest in the fire was mainly to drive away the mosquitoes.¡± ¡°There are a large number of poisonous insects and mosquitoes in the wilderness. They are carrying a large number of pathogens. If we are bitten, we can easily suffer from hysteria. In serious cases, we might even die from infection.¡± ¡°We¡¯re camping in the wilderness. If we don¡¯t protect ourselves from the insects, we might suffer tonight.¡± ¡°The main composition of the termite nest is formic acid, soil, and some secretions of termites.¡± ¡°These things are irritants to insects. The smoke produced by putting them in the fire can drive away mosquitoes.¡± ¡°Although the smell is a little pungent, I will be able to sleep well.¡± Everyone was enlightened. ¡°I see. Is the effect of this thing so good? It can even be so effective in the wild to drive away mosquitoes. What if I put a piece at home?¡± ¡°Selling termite nests, please contact me through WeChat.¡± When they heard that the termite nest had such an effect, some audience in the comments who could not stand mosquito bites were moved. If there was a need, there would be a market. Just as someone thought of igniting the termite nest at home, someone immediately posted that they could sell it. Unfortunately, before the transaction could be completed, Bell¡¯s next words extinguished their thoughts. ¡°Guys, I know some of you are wondering if it will work if you burn these termite nests at home.¡± ¡°There will definitely be an effect. However, when termite nests are burned, they release a very strong and pungent smell. By then, I¡¯m afraid you won¡¯t be able to stay in the house.¡± Everyone understood. In front of the screen, a man looked at the comment on the computer and almost cried. ¡°No, host, I had just found a way to make money.¡± ¡°Previous poster, forget it. Keep the termite nests for yourself.¡± The business opportunity came and went quickly. After finishing the preparations, Bell fell asleep easily. Everyone looked at Bell¡¯s chubby little face and gently smiled. The female fans were instantly excited. ¡°I didn¡¯t expect Bell to live in the wild so easily at such a young age. I really don¡¯t know what he has experienced in the past.¡± ¡°Could this child have always been living in the wilderness?¡± ¡°No way, which parent would be so heartless? Bell is so cute.¡± ¡°I don¡¯t think so either. The professional knowledge that Bell has doesn¡¯t seem to be learned through unorthodox means.¡± As time passed, although Bell had fallen asleep, the popularity of his live-stream did not decrease at all. There were even some audience who took the initiative to watch the surroundings for Bell, afraid that some ferocious beast would attack in the middle of the night. The night passed uneventfully. The next morning, just after dawn, Bell woke up. As soon as the audience saw Bell wake up, the comments rolled in. ¡°The host is awake. We have formed a fan group. We will take turns to guard for you at night.¡± Looking at the messages on the screen, Bell was touched. ¡°Haha, thank you everyone. Thank you for worrying about me.¡± ¡°It¡¯s already dawn. We have to begin today¡¯s goal, but there are still some things to do before that.¡± Bell walked to the fire. It was already extinguished, leaving only some charcoal and ash. Bell collected the charcoal that was no longer burning. While collecting, he did not forget to explain to the audience. ¡°Charcoal are very useful. They can help us filter the impurities in the water.¡± ¡°I know that. It¡¯s similar to activated carbon.¡± An audience replied. Bell nodded. ¡°That¡¯s right, the effect is not much different. The difference is that the activated carbon is usually extracted from the coconut shells.¡± After gathering the charcoal, Bell found some wild mint nearby. He picked a few pieces and chewed them as natural freshener. A refreshing breath came from his mouth. He looked into the distance. ¡°Everyone, it seems like we¡¯re still a distance away from water source. We have to hurry. I will set a small goal for myself today. I will eat till I am full tonight.¡± Bell even smiled cutely. Then, he rushed into the distance without hesitation. What he did not know was that more people were paying attention to him.. Chapter 36 Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios The sky had just turned bright when Bell began to move. The live-stream became active again. The air was slightly moist in the primeval forest in the morning. But it did feel good. Taking a deep breath could greatly increase one¡¯s spirit. Bell walked forward under the faint illumination of the light. ¡°We are tight on time today. We only found a little bit of water yesterday. What we¡¯re looking for now is a river. Normally speaking, we should be able to find the way out of the primeval forest by following the river.¡± ¡°The water in the canteen is almost used up as well.¡± Bell explained to the audience in the live-stream. Shennongjia was a sub-tropical climate zone, located in northwestern Hubei Province in China. It was a typical monsoon area. The characteristic of this place was that the air was moist, had abundant light, rich heat, had a long frost-free period, and had abundant rainfall. Although they were in Wilderness Survival, Bell felt that the production team chose such a place because they were thinking of those contestants who were there just to make up the numbers. After all, it was not particularly difficult to survive in such a primeval forest because there was enough food. As long as they had some basic plant identification techniques, they would be able to survive safely. Compared to some primeval forests in Africa, there were much fewer large beasts here. Bell analyzed as he walked down the terrain. Soon, the sky brightened. Beams of sunlight shone through the gaps in the leaves into the forest, and the vision became clearer. Looking into the distance, a rare smile appeared on Bell¡¯s face. ¡°Everyone, we¡¯re in luck today.¡± The camera was pointed at a dense bamboo forest not far away. ¡°If you are lucky enough to encounter a bamboo forest in the wild, you can consider a gift from the heavens.¡± Bell said happily. He even hurried forward. ¡°For a survivalist, bamboos have many uses.¡± ¡°The audience who live in Sichuan should know about the use of the bamboo forest.¡± Soon, Bell arrived at the bamboo forest. As he spoke, he took out the dagger given by the production team. Hearing Bell¡¯s words, some Sichuan residents also became active. ¡°Host, you¡¯re really lucky today. You encountered a bamboo forest. In that case, the water issue should be settled.¡± Because this program was a global live broadcast, there were audiences from everywhere. Bell¡¯s live-stream had already accumulated a lot of popularity. After hearing Bell¡¯s words, some Sichuan audience stood up and interacted warmly with Bell. Bell glanced at the comments and smiled when he saw the reply. ¡°That¡¯s right, our luck today is really good. With this bamboo forest, the water issue won¡¯t be a problem for a while.¡± Bell said as he walked deeper into the bamboo forest. He shook some bamboo, as if searching for something. ¡°Can someone explain to me what Bell is doing? Is there something in these bamboo?¡± Some people who did not live in Sichuan and rarely saw bamboo did not know the secret of the bamboo center. However, before the audience could answer, Bell had already taken the initiative to explain. ¡°I believe many of the audience are wondering what I¡¯m doing now.¡± ¡°I can take this opportunity to explain to everyone.¡± ¡°Actually, I¡¯m looking for water. The center of some bamboos that are thick and long and have not been damaged is hollow. There will be a lot of water inside.¡± ¡°Shake it hard. If you can hear the gurgling sound, it means that there is plenty of water in that bamboo.¡± Bell continued to search while explaining. As if to verify his words, he heard a gurgling sound when he shook a thick bamboo. ¡°Found it.¡± Bell took out the dagger. ¡°It¡¯s this thick bamboo. Listen to the sound inside.¡± The camera was brought closer. Bell shook it again, just enough to hear the sound of water in the bamboo. ¡°I heard it! There really is water.¡± Many people in the audience heard the sound of water. There were usually some differences in the sound between the bamboo that had water and the bamboo that were empty. Many people knew that the bamboo was hollow, but this was the first time they knew about water inside bamboo. After the demonstration, Bell cut a small hole at the bottom section of the bamboo pole. Then, he chiseled a hole in the center section. ¡°It¡¯s not difficult to take out this water. You just need to cut open two holes.¡± ¡°The hole at the bottom is mainly used to let air flow into the bamboo pole. This way, the internal pressure will be imbalanced, and the water in the bamboo sections will naturally flow out.¡± ¡°Of course, if you have large tools, you can cut down the entire bamboo joint and use it as a container to store water.¡± ¡°But that can¡¯t be done now. After all, the production team is tight on funds and only gave me a dagger. It¡¯s too troublesome to cut this bamboo with it.¡± Bell complained. ¡°Haha, that¡¯s right. The production team is really too stingy.¡± ¡°Bell, give us your location, we will airdrop you a chainsaw.¡± Some audience members joked. After filling his water canteen, Bell passed through the bamboo forest. ¡°There¡¯s a thorny area ahead.¡± Bell looked ahead from the edge of the bamboo forest. There were dense thorny bramble bushes. Looking at the spikes on the branches, the audience was a little afraid. ¡°Host, if there is no path, you should take a detour.¡± ¡°Yeah, these bramble bushes are so dense. There is a high probability of being scratched if we were to move through them. Moreover, if there is some poisonous substance, it will not be worth it.¡± Many of the audience were worried for Bell, and they wanted to persuade him to move elsewhere. Bell looked at the comments and the thorny area in front of him, and finally shook his head after a while. ¡°Let¡¯s collect some vines first. These vines are rather strong. We can use them as ropes and also as protective tools.¡± ¡°But I won¡¯t take a detour. We don¡¯t have much time. These bramble bushes cover a wide range. It will take a lot of time to detour.¡± Bell said seriously as a determined expression flashed across his young face. Everyone in front of the screen was stunned, infected by Bell¡¯s emotions. But soon, Bell showed a relaxed expression. ¡°There is no need to worry. Since it¡¯s a Wilderness Survival, we will encounter all kinds of difficulties. But believe me, I have a way to resolve it.¡± ¡°I¡¯ll show everyone how to safely cross this thorny zone..¡± Chapter 37 Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios After climbing over the rope bridge, Scarlett felt like she had just survived a disaster. She patted her chest lightly. Then she rolled her eyes at Bell in lingering fear. But Bell ignored her. ¡°Alright, we¡¯ve saved two days of time. Let¡¯s continue moving forward. I hope our luck is good.¡± The two of them stopped wasting time. Scarlet walked beside Bell and sighed. ¡°I won¡¯t carry out any weight-loss plans after I return. Hunger is really unbearable.¡± The two of them had only chewed on some tree roots and leaves. There was not much nutrition at all, and their stamina was barely maintained. After climbing over a 300-meter-long rope bridge, their stamina was exhausted, and they were even a little exhausted. ¡°Your weight loss doesn¡¯t seem to have much effect.¡± ¡°Who said that? You haven¡¯t seen it! My figure is¡­¡± When Scarlett Johansson heard that her weight loss was ineffective, she wanted to retort. However, she seemed to realize something and blushed. The boy in front of her had really seen her figure and saw it clearly. The atmosphere instantly fell into awkwardness. Bell seemed to sense that his words were inappropriate. He scratched his head awkwardly and changed the topic. The two of them walked one after the other. Suddenly, Bell¡¯s eyes lit up. ¡°Looks like our luck has finally improved.¡± A thick layer of snow covered a large forest. Many trees fell in the snow. Clearly, an avalanche had happened here. Because of the large amount of snow, these trees were suppressed, and even the tree bark was directly peeled off. It was easier to find food in this situation. Many animals would have died in the avalanche. If he was lucky, he might be able to find fresh animal corpses to roast and eat. Seeing Bell¡¯s excitement, Scarlett was infected by him and temporarily forgot about the awkward interlude. The two of them walked on. Bell sniffed the air from time to time. Due to the cold air, there was a strange smell that was very obvious. Seeing Bell like this, Scarlett couldn¡¯t help but cover her mouth and laugh. ¡°Hey, Bell, what are you doing?¡± ¡°Don¡¯t speak. Be quiet. There seems to be the stench of corpses here.¡± Bell said seriously. The stench of corpses meant that the animals were dead, and it also meant that there was food. Hearing that, Scarlett did not dare to continue disturbing him. ¡°Come with me, let¡¯s go over and take a look.¡± Bell confirmed the location of the smell and followed it. Scarlett naturally nodded and followed. As the two of them continued forward, the stench of the corpses became clearer. However, the audience looked at the two of them twitching their noses and did not know what they were doing. ¡°Everyone, I think we¡¯re about to have food.¡± ¡°You might not know what we were doing just now. There¡¯s a very thick stench of a corpse here, which means that an animal died nearby.¡± ¡°I¡¯m very hungry. I don¡¯t have much strength left. I have to replenish my nutrition as soon as possible.¡± ¡°Counting the time, we haven¡¯t eaten for nearly two days.¡± Bell said to the audience. In fact, because of his hunger, he did not want to say anything else. But for the sake of the audience¡¯s interaction, he still felt that he should explain to them. The audience also saw Bell¡¯s condition. The comments were sent. ¡°There¡¯s no need to explain, host. Just focus on finding food and ignore us.¡± They expressed understanding towards Bell. This gave Bell some comfort. Soon, Scarlett and Bell saw a dead antelope. The corpse had already rotted. Some exposed parts were filled with maggots. Bell picked up a maggot and looked at it. ¡°I think we have food. These maggots contain rich proteins. If we remove their heads, they¡¯ll taste better.¡± Hearing Bell say this, the audience couldn¡¯t help but feel a chill. ¡°F*ck! Eating maggots! Isn¡¯t this too heavy a taste!¡± Scarlett looked troubled. However, the hunger in her stomach prevented her from thinking too much. She copied Bell and grabbed two from the corpse. This fat creature made her feel uncomfortable. However, compared to starvation, this physiological discomfort could only be suppressed temporarily. At the thought of this, Scarlett closed her eyes and opened her mouth to eat the maggot. But just as she was about to eat it, Bel snatched the maggot from her hand. ¡°Hey, what are you doing?¡± ¡°If you want to eat, you can eat first. I¡¯ll eat the remaining.¡± Scarlett thought that Bell felt that there was not enough food and wanted to snatch it from her. Although she felt an inexplicable sense of loss, she remembered that Bell had saved her life before and decided to give in. She decided to leave the greater chance of survival to Bell. Even many viewers thought so. Some of Bell¡¯s fans were disappointed when they saw this. Although it was inevitable for a person to expose their selfish side in the face of death, they still felt some loss. Survival was the greatest instinct. However, the others would still feel displeased when one resorted to selfish means for survival. On the other hand, Scarlett knew how to repay kindness. Under such circumstances, she was still grateful to Bell for saving her life and was willing to give up the food. This also increased everyone¡¯s impression of her. However, what Bell said next overthrew their previous thoughts. ¡°Have you become an idiot from the cold? I meant using these maggots to fish. Do you have a special diet?¡± Bell took out two and handed them to Scarlett. ¡°If you really want to eat them, I¡¯ll give you these two fatter ones. At least they can replenish some nutrition.¡± Bell looked pained. These two fat insects were the ones he thought best of. Perhaps he could catch a big fish with them. However, since the other party had such a hobby, he might as well compromise. Everyone reacted. ¡°Haha, I knew that Bell wouldn¡¯t be that kind of person.¡± ¡°The goddess is being looked down on. Bell was looking at her like he was looking at a fool. My heart aches for the goddess, but why do I feel like laughing?¡± ¡°As expected, our Bell is so cute. Even if he let others eat insects, he chose to give the two big ones.¡± ¡°Goddess, quickly eat. Don¡¯t stand on ceremony. Don¡¯t let down Bell¡¯s good intentions.¡± There were people joining in the fun on the screen. After knowing what Bell was thinking, Scarlett blushed. At the same time, she remembered her previous thoughts and turned her head away in shame, no longer looking at Bell. Chapter 38 Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios The misunderstanding was cleared, and Scarlett Johansson handed the two maggots to Bell. Seeing this, Bell asked curiously, ¡°Aren¡¯t you eating?¡± Scarlett almost spat out a mouthful of blood. If it were an adult asking such a question, she would definitely bite him to death. But seeing Bell¡¯s innocent and cute appearance, Scarlett could only admit defeat. ¡°No, you can use them to fish.¡± Bell stopped teasing her. ¡°Alright, endure for a while more. We will have food soon.¡± Hearing Bell¡¯s relaxed tone, Scarlett realized that Bell had been teasing her. ¡°This guy¡­¡± Scarlett pointed at Bell for a long time but could not find a suitable word to say. In the end, she could only give up helplessly. Bell found a wooden stick. Although the two of them had moved to a lower altitude, they still could not stay on the spot for too long. They had to dig another snow cave. Only then could they fish quietly. Seeing that Bell was busy again, Scarlett did not stay idle. She imitated Bell and found a wooden stick to dig the snow cave with him. Because they had experience from earlier, they were much more proficient with it this time. Of course, it was mainly because Scarlett had become more efficient. Seeing the girl¡¯s serious expression, Bell nodded and handed the task of digging the snow cave to her. Bell began to prepare the food. He took out his parachute and removed the parachute¡¯s cord. ¡°Our conditions are simple now, but we can use this as a fishing line.¡± Bell explained to the audience. Everyone was also very curious. They looked at Bell on the screen, wanting to see how he would obtain food in this harsh environment. Bell then used a small piece of iron wire on the parachute to bend it into an iron hook and pierced the maggot as bait. Bell looked around. ¡°We need a stone to increase the weight of the bait.¡± Bell chose a suitable stone and tied it to the end of the rope. Then, he repeated his previous actions. He removed a few pieces of iron wire and hung the maggots on the hooks. A few more iron hooks were tied to different parts of the cord. After doing all this, Bell heaved a sigh of relief. ¡°We¡¯ve completed most of the work. Now, we have to wait for the fish to take the bait.¡± Scarlett had finished digging the snow cave. Bell noticed that Scarlett¡¯s hands were red from the cold. Clearly, she had used her hands to strengthen the roof of the snow cave. However, as if she had overdone it, her hands were already a little stiff. Scarlett stuffed her hand into her sleeves, not wanting Bell to see it. After this period of time, she realized that she did not seem to be of any use to Bell at all. Instead, she was giving Bell trouble everywhere. She had read some knowledge about wilderness survival before participating in the program, and she had been confident that she could do well. Now, it seemed like she had been too naive. She wanted to do whatever she could for Bell. Bell did not expose Scarlett¡¯s embarrassment. He smiled and said, ¡°I¡¯m a little cold too. Let¡¯s start a fire. Help me take a look at this bait. If a fish takes the bait, fish it up.¡± With that, Bell got up and walked towards the forest to search for dead branches. Scarlett Johansson sat in front of the snow cave and watched Bell walk away. A smile gradually formed on her face. ¡°Although he¡¯s not old, he¡¯s quite thoughtful.¡± She realized that Bell had seen her embarrassment, but he did not make things difficult for her. This made her have a better impression of him. The comments were also constantly sending messages, saying strange things like ¡°couple confirmed¡±. ¡°Hey, this guy is only eight. Your thoughts are dangerous.¡± Scarlett also joked with the audience. After experiencing the dangers of life and death along with hunger, her mentality had also changed. Most importantly, she no longer treated Bell as an eight-year-old child. Whether it was his temperament, survival experience, or intelligence, they were definitely not something ordinary eight-year-old children could possess. Scarlett even wondered if there was an adult soul in this child¡¯s body. She had not told Bell this. If she told Bell, she would definitely scare him. Because she had guessed the correct answer. The wait seemed to be especially long. Scarlett was worried that Bell would not return. From time to time, she would look in the direction Bell had left. In fact, Bell had not left for long. After a seemingly endless wait, Scarlett saw Bell again. He was carrying a pile of dry wood and a few tree branches. The small figure seemed to have difficulty moving in the snow. However, there was a trace of determination on Bell¡¯s face. It seemed like no difficulty could defeat him. Scarlett was stunned. At the same time, Bell walked to her. He asked curiously. ¡°What are you looking at? Didn¡¯t I tell you to watch the bait? This will decide if we will starve tonight.¡± Hearing Bell¡¯s voice, Scarlet Johnson came to her senses. ¡°Oh, I¡¯m looking, I¡¯m looking. They haven¡¯t taken the bait yet, right?¡± Scarlett looked slightly flustered. Bell ignored the other party¡¯s expression. He walked to the hole and checked the bait. Then, he placed the fir tree branch that he had brought at the hole. ¡°When choosing to fish in the ice, we have to have a support, because this way, we can avoid the hole from freezing again.¡± Bell explained to the audience. However, the comments were a little strange. Their focus did not seem to be on survival. Bell ignored it and the mood of the girl beside him, and continued to focus on his actions. This was Wilderness Survival, not a romance show. Chapter 39 Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios Time passed. Although there was the snow cave to maintain the temperature, the work they did exhausted their stamina. Cold and hunger attacked them. The comments were constantly flooded with messages, wanting to make them more focused. At that moment, anyone with sharp eyes could tell that the two of them had reached their limits. In fact, the reason they could hold on was because of their willpower. In such a harsh environment, it would be extremely difficult to stand up after falling. The tree roots and tender leaves found before were not enough to fill their stomach. Suddenly, a loud falcon cry sounded above their heads. Bell, who was already dizzy, perked up. The falcons in the sky were clearly hunting. There would definitely be prey. Looking at the sleepy Scarlett Johansson, Bell said, ¡°Stay here and watch. I¡¯ll go out and see if I can find some other food.¡± Bell stood up. Seeing Bell get up, Scarlett Johansson wanted to stand up too, but she staggered and sat on the ground again. Her stamina had reached its limit. Bell quickly helped her up so that she would not be injured. ¡°Alright, listen to me. Wait for me here. I¡¯ll be back soon.¡± In the end, Scarlett nodded and stopped struggling. Walking out of the snow cave, Bell looked up. A falcon was hovering in the sky, clearly hunting its prey. ¡°Everyone, I¡¯m afraid we¡¯re going to face a challenge.¡± ¡°The prey on the snow is quite obvious. As long as we pay attention and follow the direction of this falcon, we can find some traces.¡± Bell forced herself to focus and explained to the people in front of the screen. Seeing Bell¡¯s weak expression, the people in front of the screen sent the comments to her heartache. ¡°Host, don¡¯t speak anymore. Save your energy.¡± Bell began to carefully observe the traces on the ground. The prey running on the snow would leave some footprints. Bell judged carefully. ¡°This should be a fox.¡± ¡°In this weather, foxes often go out to hunt for food like rabbits.¡± Following the footprints left on the snow, Bell walked forward. Soon, Bell saw a snow fox running on the snow. The falcon kept circling around, looking for an opportunity. Bell seized the opportunity and chased after the running snow fox. The snow fox was very fast. Under normal circumstances, it would be very difficult for Bell to capture this snow fox. Moreover, Bell had exhausted too much energy. At this moment, he was already energized to be able to find this snow fox. However, his will to live made him move. Because this snow fox was holding a dead hare in its mouth. They might not be able to get fish. If he could capture this snow fox or the hare, they would be able to survive in this snowy world. Fortunately, this snow fox had already been chased by the falcon for a long while, and its stamina was greatly exhausted. The human and the fox ran on the snow. In the end, the snow fox could not continue.. Under Bell¡¯s continuous pursuit, it had no choice but to give up on its prey to reduce its weight. Without the weight of the hare, its speed increased by a lot, and it quickly disappeared from Bell¡¯s sight. Bell took two more steps forward and slowly stopped. Because of the intense running for a long time, Bell¡¯s stamina was further consumed. His vision was already a little blurry. ¡°Looks like our luck is not bad.¡± He bent down and picked up the snowshoe hare, a rare smile on his face. The audience heaved a sigh of relief when they saw this. With food, at the very least, Bell would not have to worry about hunger for the time being. Carrying the wild rabbit, Bell hurried back the way he came. The wild hare was not particularly fat. However, it was barely enough for two people. However, just as he entered the snow cave, Bell was shocked by the scene before him. Scarlett collapsed beside the snow cave, unconscious. Bell quickly put down the hare and ran to her side. ¡°Wake up!¡± Bell called out to Scarlett, who was lying on the ground, but she was in a daze and had no intention of waking up. The audience was a little afraid. They didn¡¯t know what Scarlett¡¯s condition was. Bell checked her breathing and found that she was still breathing. ¡°She¡¯s too hungry.¡± Bell came to a conclusion. He looked at the hare and denied the thought. In Scarlett¡¯s current state, she could not actively consume ordinary solid food. After some thought, Bell turned his gaze to the fishing hole. Bell pulled out the fishing line below. There were really two trout hanging on the hook made of iron wire taken from the parachute, although the two fish were not big. He was relieved to have food. He had no time to explain to the audience what he was doing. The most important thing now was to save Scarlett. He could not care about the effects of the program. Bell reached into the gills and grabbed the fish to prevent them from sliding away. Then, he cleaned the fish scales slightly and bit the spinal cord. Without the support of the spine, the moving fish immediately fell limp. They were clearly killed by Bell. Bell chose the flesh on the back of the fish and tore it off with his teeth. Seeing Bell¡¯s expression, the audience felt a chill. Bell was like a primitive human who ate raw meat. ¡°What is the host doing? Doesn¡¯t he have to save Scarlett? Why is he eating fish?¡± The audience was puzzled, not knowing what Bell was planning. Bell did not explain further. The fish meat was constantly chewed in his mouth. After the fish meat was completely chewed, Bell helped Scarlett Johnson up. He opened the other party¡¯s mouth and fed the fish meat with his saliva. Seeing this scene, everyone was shocked. Many Scarlett Johansson¡¯s fans drooled with jealousy. With the energy from the food, it did not take long for Scarlett to wake up. ¡°What happened?¡± After waking up, Scarlett Johansson looked around. Her memories were a little blurry. Bell walked over with a roasted hare. ¡°You¡¯re awake? You fainted from hunger. Eat something. There are grilled fish and roasted hare.¡± Scarlett Johansson passed a crisis again. Chapter 40 Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios With food, the two of them were in a much better state. Scarlett ate most of the roasted hare. Bell ate the remaining roasted hare and fish. ¡°Alright, we have to move now. We can¡¯t camp in the snow forever. Since there are trees, we can build a shelter in the forest. At least it¡¯s better than resting in this snow.¡± Bell suggested. Scarlett nodded. ¡°Sure.¡± After experiencing two life and death crises, she was almost obedient to Bell. When the audience saw their actions, many began to cheer. ¡°The two of them look so compatible.¡± ¡°Thinking about it, it seems like a love relation between an older girl and a younger boy. Goddess, don¡¯t you want to consider it?¡± Scarlett Johansson happened to see this comment and instantly blushed. She quickly shook his head. ¡°Aw, what are you thinking? Bell is only eight.¡± ¡°But it would be appropriate in a few years.¡± ¡°Pui, pui, pui, pui¡­¡± Seemingly shocked by her own thoughts, Scarlett quickly shook her head and stopped reading the comments. The two of them continued to go to lower altitudes. Bell walked in front, not forgetting to interact with the audience. ¡°Our mission now is to move down as fast as possible, but it won¡¯t be easy to find a path in this forest.¡± ¡°So what do we do, Bell?¡± Scarlett asked nervously. Now, she did not look down on wilderness survival as much as before. If not for Bell, she would have died twice already. She knew that her knowledge on wilderness survival was too immature. Compared to Bell, she was more like an eight-year-old child who needed to be taken care of. ¡°No need to worry, I am here.¡± ¡°Those who have watched my live stream before should know that if you can¡¯t find the way in the forest, you can first move to a higher place. That way, your vision will be wider.¡± Scarlett, who had watched the videos of Bell, was surprised to hear him say this. ¡°Bell, we¡¯re on a snowy mountain. If we want to find a higher place, do we have to return the way we came?¡± Bell staggered and looked at her speechlessly. ¡°Are you serious?¡± Bell curled his lips. Why was such a smart girl thinking so strangely? They had finally descended the mountain and arrived at this altitude. They would be mad to return just to find the way. Seeing the look in Bell¡¯s eyes, Scarlett knew that she had probably said something wrong. She stuck her tongue out cheekily and stopped talking. The audience saw her action and their hearts trembled. Normally, they would not see such a shy expression on the screen. Bell looked up. ¡°Find a tall tree and climb up. You will naturally have a wider view.¡± Scarlett finally understood. Bell climbed a ten or meters tall tree like a nimble cat. Standing on the treetop, there was white snow in front of him. Even after walking out of the forest, there were no nearby human settlements. As the altitude fell, the path became more bumpy. After a moment of hesitation, Bel let out a soft cry in his mind. ¡°System?¡± ¡°Ding! Host, how can I help you?¡± ¡°Is there a way to create tools to leave the mountain?¡± [Ding. Rock Climbing Tool Crafting LVMAX!] [Ding! Snowfield Tool Crafting LVMAX!] ¡°The total price is 2,000 popularity points.¡± The system¡¯s voice sounded in Bell¡¯s mind. ¡°Alright, exchange.¡± After this period of accumulation, Bell had already accumulated some popularity. Bell made the decision. Details of the two skills entered Bell¡¯s brain. After grasping both knowledge, Bell got down from the tree. ¡°How is it?¡± Seeing Bell come down, Scarlett asked with concern. Bell shook his head. ¡°There are no villages nearby. The mountain path is very steep. It will be difficult to walk on foot.¡± Bell said truthfully. Scarlet looked worried. ¡°Ah? Then how do we go down? Do we take a detour?¡± Even Bell said it was very difficult, so it definitely would not be easy. Seeing Scarlett¡¯s frustration, Bell smiled. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, I have a plan.¡± Scarlett looked hopeful again. The audience also heaved a sigh of relief when they heard Bell. If even Bell could not do anything, the two of them would really be in danger. Bell walked forward and said, ¡°The terrain is very steep now. It¡¯s not realistic to continue like this. We might even be injured, but we can use some tools.¡± Bell said as he looked around. Suddenly, his eyes lit up as he seemed to have found his target. A sapling. ¡°This sapling¡¯s size is just perfect.¡± ¡°We can use such saplings to make two pairs of snow shoes. In that case, we don¡¯t have to worry about the snow being too slippery.¡± Bell broke the sapling and trimmed off the remaining branches with the dagger. The sapling was bent into an arc to create a large frame. Then, Bell added a few more sticks to the frame and used the ropes of the parachute to weave them into a net. The outer shell of the snowshoes was completed. The snow shoes would prevent slipping and increase the friction which made it very useful when moving in the snow. Her feet that would reach deep into the snow with every step finally stopped falling after she put on the snow shoes made by Bell. Scarlett was stunned. She had wanted to learn from Bell and help. But Bell was too skilled. She had not learned anything at all. Before she could react, Bell had finished everything. With the snow shoes, the two of them sped up greatly. The two of them continued walking down. Finally, when it was almost dark, they found a few figures at the foot of the mountain. They were a group of skiers. When they saw the figure, it meant that they had successfully returned to civilization. Chapter 41 - Bottom Line of Humanity Scarlett Johansson was excited. ¡°Bell, look! Look!¡± After several days of Wilderness Survival, Scarlett Johansson could guarantee that she had never been so excited to see a living person like this. Bell smiled and shook his head at Scarlett¡¯s excited expression. The audience saw this scene. ¡°Haha, this is too funny. Why does it feel like their ages are reversed?¡± ¡°I think so too.¡± ¡°Everyone, let me tell you the good news. Bell is still first in this Alps survival trip. Moreover, it will take at least three days for the second place to reach Bell¡¯s location.¡± Bell was not the only one in the Alps survival round. After all, it was a large-scale program created by the Wilderness Survival team. Although the preliminaries removed many participants, there were still many people who had passed. However, even so, Bell still stood out among these survival experts. Scarlett was very chatty. After seeing the few skiers, she quickly chatted with them. After hearing that Bell and Scarlett Johansson were participating in this program, the skiers were shocked. ¡°Oh my god, I thought that the danger shown in that program was special effects. I didn¡¯t think it was real!¡± ¡°Is this child that survivalist who has been viral recently?¡± The skiers looked at Bell and asked curiously. Hearing them mention Bell, Scarlett Johansson reacted and ran to Bell¡¯s side, pinching his little face. Bell rolled his eyes helplessly. After interacting with modern society again, Scarlett Johansson regained her confidence. The audience also saw this scene. ¡°Haha, these two are too interesting.¡± In the broadcast room, the female host looked at Bell¡¯s screen and applauded. ¡°As expected of Bell, he does not disappoint.¡± ¡°The difficulty of this mission in the Alps is beyond imagination. Even I might not be able to succeed. I¡¯m becoming more and more curious about this child.¡± Ed confirmed Bell¡¯s actions. ¡°If there¡¯s a chance, I really want to cooperate with him in a Wilderness Survival adventure. He might be a good partner.¡± Bear also looked excited. Li Ziqi¡¯s attention was not on Bell. Instead, she looked at Scarlett Johansson who was beside Bell and pouted. She had yet to pinch Bell¡¯s chubby face, but this woman had already done it. The female host continued. ¡°Alright, everyone, our contestant, Bell, has already completed this Wilderness Survival round. According to Bell¡¯s results, he will be able to advance to the next round.¡± ¡°Now, let¡¯s see the performance of the other contestants.¡± As she spoke, the beautiful host switched the screen to the second-rank contestant. However, when the scene changed, the contestant was turning purple from the cold. Even his teammate had lost consciousness. ¡°No! Our contestant number two is in danger! Quick, send the rescue team!¡± She thought that the second contestant would be able to finish the mission soon, so the female host turned the screen to him. Who knew that the situation would be completely opposite to her expectation. After a while, under everyone¡¯s attention, the duo was finally rescued. Although the contestant had to go through a series of emergency procedures, his life was saved. As for the celebrity teammate who was with him, he regained consciousness before boarding the plane. He looked at the contestant and pointed his middle finger with difficulty. ¡°F*ck you!¡± This contestant had abandoned him at such a dire moment and was preparing to take the food for himself. In the face of death, human nature was often fragile. Seeing this scene, the host could only smile awkwardly. Bear and Ed helped smooth things over. ¡°Actually, lacking food and resources in Wilderness Survival is not the greatest problem. The greatest problem is to maintain a rational mind. Only in this way can we survive in this harsh environment.¡± ¡°That¡¯s right. Sometimes, mentality is the most important thing in Wilderness Survival. It can be even more important than food.¡± The audience nodded in agreement. This contestant number two had given them a solid lesson. If not for the production team coming to rescue them, their endings could be imagined. In a situation where there was no food, some tragedies might happen that might even cross the bottom line of humanity. ¡°When I see this, I admire Bell even more. No matter what the situation is, that little guy can always maintain his optimism.¡± Seeing that the mood was heavy, the host cleverly brought the topic back to Bell. ¡°That¡¯s right. No matter how much danger he faces, that little guy can face it calmly. It¡¯s hard to imagine what kind of trials he has experienced before.¡± ¡°Alright, don¡¯t be anxious. Our champion will return soon. At that time, everyone can ask as many questions as you want.¡± The atmosphere of the show finally returned to normal. Under the lead of the skiers, Bell and Scarlett Johansson finally left the mountain. They finally felt the warmth of a house again. In her room, Scarlett Johansson remembered the events of the past few days. It felt like a dream. ¡°Oh my god, that little guy is so charming. Sigh, if only he were a little older.¡± Scarlett Johansson stood beside the mirror and said to herself as she looked at her body curves. As for Bell, after resting for a while, he turned on the live broadcast again and reported his safety to the audience. He also engaged in some simple conversation. With Bell¡¯s two outstanding performances, the number of viewers in the live-stream soared. Bell became a hot topic on many platforms. Chapter 42 - Sisters Warmth ¡°Bell, how is it? Are you preparing to return to the Alps?¡± ¡°Bell, Bell, where is your first stop after returning to China? Will you have a fan meeting?¡± ¡°Bell, when are you bringing your fans to adventure in the wild? I am reserving a spot.¡± Countless comments flashed across the screen. Although Bell was no longer doing Wilderness Survival, his popularity had not decreased at all. Instead, it was increasing. Even the guests and female host were very puzzled by this. In the end, everyone could only come to a conclusion. Sometimes, just the appearance is enough to live a good life. Bell did not have anything to do at the moment and chatted with the audience. At this moment, there was a sudden knock on the door. Bang bang bang! The wooden door creaked. Bell put down his phone and walked to the door. However, the recording equipment was still beside him. The audience could still see Bell¡¯s actions. After all, Bell had not turned off the recording device. When he opened the door, he saw that Scarlett had already changed into new clothes. She was wearing a pair of shorts and camisole, fully displaying her impressive figure. Seeing that the recording device was still on, Scarlett Johansson was stunned. ¡°Didn¡¯t you finish the show? Why are you still doing the live broadcast?¡± After the other contestants finished the show, they would immediately switch off their recording equipment. Bell shrugged. ¡°It doesn¡¯t matter. I have nothing to do now anyway.¡± Seeing Bell¡¯s indifferent attitude, Scarlett did not say anything else. She had wanted to run over and have a private chat with Bell, but he was doing a live broadcast. Bell saw that Scarlett seemed to have something to say to him, so he spoke. ¡°I haven¡¯t had dinner yet. Do you want to join me?¡± Scarlett¡¯s eyes lit up. She was wondering how to get Bell to come out alone with her. She seized the opportunity and quickly agreed. ¡°Alright, let¡¯s have a bite at the restaurant in town.¡± Bell nodded. ¡°I¡¯m going out to eat. Let¡¯s end the broadcast for now.¡± But the audience had already heard Bell and Scarlett¡¯s words. Some of Scarlett Johansson¡¯s fans looked upset. ¡°Oh, my god, my goddess is eating with another man. My youth is over.¡± ¡°Previous poster, your brain is not normal. Bell is only eight years old.¡± ¡°No! Trust me, I know my goddess too well. The way she looks at Bell is wrong!¡± ¡°What?! You¡¯re saying that the way that woman looks at Bell is wrong? No! I will protect Bell! He¡¯s just a child. If there¡¯s anything, take it out on me!¡± The fans of both sides began to discuss fervently in the live-stream. However, Bell did not know about this. At this moment, he had already switched off the live broadcast. The temperature in the Alps was quite cold, especially at night. Scarlett Johansson was not used to such a climate. Her thin clothes were not enough to resist the cold. Scarlett kept shivering as they walked. On the other hand, things were much better for Bell. Bell had put on thick clothes. ¡°I¡¯m really curious. It¡¯s so cold outside. Didn¡¯t you think of wearing more clothes?¡± Seeing Scarlett Johansson in such a sorry state, Bell couldn¡¯t help but complain. It was difficult to imagine that Scarlett was an adult. However, she looked like a child who did not know how to take care of herself. It should be common knowledge to wear more clothes in the cold. ¡°How¡­ how would I know? It¡¯s¡­ it¡¯s so cold here.¡± 1 Scarlett said, her teeth chattering. Seeing her like this, Bell shook his head and took off his jacket to hand to Scarlett. ¡°Hurry and put it on. We¡¯ll be there soon. I heard there¡¯s a good fried chicken restaurant there.¡± 1 Bell¡¯s taste buds were going numb over the past few days. If the conditions allowed it, he really wanted to return to China and eat a spicy dish. Unfortunately, this was the Alps, and there was no such food. It was already very extravagant to be able to eat a decent fried chicken. As for the steak, Bell expressed that he had eaten too much raw things recently. It was better to eat cooked food. Seeing Bell¡¯s actions, Scarlett froze. Although the clothes of an eight-year-old child could only be used as a scarf on her¡­ Bell, who was willing to hand the clothes to her, suddenly became taller in her eyes. It even made her dazed. However, she quickly reacted and shook her head. ¡®No, no, no. What am I thinking?¡¯ ¡®He¡¯s just a child, how can you be attracted to him?¡¯ But some thoughts grew faster the more they were controlled. She took the jacket and felt the remaining warmth on it. 1 The thoughts popped up in Scarlett¡¯s mind again. When she arrived at the hotel, the bustling scene pulled her back to reality. The two of them ate fried chicken and drank beer. They became more familiar with each other. 1 After knowing that Bell had always lived alone, Scarlett Johansson boldly hugged Bell. 1 She even said that she wanted to give Bell the warmth of an older sister. However, her erratic gaze made people doubt the authenticity of her words. Fortunately, although Bell was only eight years old, his alcohol tolerance was surprisingly good. He carried Scarlett Johansson on his back. 1 At the same time. A Twitch staff member was standing in the chief¡¯s office. ¡°This is the child. Do whatever you can to contact him immediately!¡± ¡°I¡¯ve seen his videos. He has a lot of potential, and he has a lot of room for growth! We have to snatch him before he is discovered by others! The results of our company will depend on this!¡± The chief threw a photo of Bell on the table. The staff looked at the child in the photo which showed the contrast between a child and the wilderness. A child in the dangerous wilderness was enough to arouse people¡¯s curiosity. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, chief. I¡¯ll get someone to contact him. We have to invite him to have a deep cooperation with our platform.¡± Chapter 43 - Invitation From Twitch The night passed peacefully. Bell woke up early in the morning. After packing his things, he was about to head out to have breakfast when there was another knock on the door. Bell knew who it was. He opened the door and saw that it was indeed Scarlett. ¡°You¡¯re awake?¡± Scarlett nodded sheepishly. She had already heard about what happened last night from the hotel staff. She, an adult, was actually carried back by a child. Scarlett felt her face heat up at the thought of Bell carrying her. 1 She did not dare to imagine that scene. ¡°I-I really have to thank you for yesterday.¡± Although she did not want to remember last night, Scarlett still thanked Bell. Bell spread his hands and rolled his eyes when he remembered Scarlett¡¯s expression last night. ¡°If you don¡¯t have good alcohol tolerance, I suggest you drink less.¡± ¡°You haven¡¯t had breakfast yet, right? Let¡¯s go eat.¡± Hearing Bell¡¯s words, Scarlett Johansson was like a little girl who had done something wrong. She lowered her head obediently and did not dare to retort. If anyone saw this scene, they would probably be shocked. Fortunately, there was no one else here except Bell and Scarlett. After breakfast, Bell looked at Scarlett. ¡°What¡¯s the plan today?¡± ¡°Ah? Nothing, we¡¯re waiting for the production team to pick us up.¡± Scarlett Johansson said truthfully. ¡°Then don¡¯t just waste time. I¡¯ve asked the production team. They won¡¯t be able to make it today and will only arrive tomorrow afternoon.¡± ¡°We have a day. I¡¯m going to walk around the Alps. Do you want to join me?¡± ¡°Ah, just the two of us?¡± Scarlett¡¯s mind wandered. ¡®Is Bell sending me a date invitation?¡¯ Seeing Scarlett¡¯s strange expression, Bell rolled his eyes. ¡°Hey, wasn¡¯t it just the two of us before too?¡± ¡°Don¡¯t worry, I¡¯m just looking at the scenery. I won¡¯t take any risks. After all, we are already here.¡± Scarlett finally realized that she had been overthinking. She was about to agree when a phone ringtone sounded. Bell took out his phone and looked at the number. It was a call from the hotel¡¯s front desk. ¡°Hello.¡± ¡°Hello, Mr. Bell. We are the front desk of the hotel where you are staying. A gentleman came to look for you just now. He seemed to be in a hurry. Seeing that you were not in the room, we called you to avoid causing you any trouble.¡± Bell was puzzled. Could it be that the production team had come to fetch him? Bell could not think of anyone who would look for him in the Alps. But if the production team came, they should have called in advance. Did something happen? Bell could not understand. ¡°Alright, ask him to wait for me there. I¡¯ll be back soon.¡± ¡°Alright, sir. I¡¯ll pass it on.¡± Bell hung up the phone and shrugged. ¡°There might be a change in plan. Someone is looking for me at the front desk.¡± ¡°Someone is looking for you? Do you know someone here?¡± Bell shook his head. ¡°We¡¯ll know when we get back. What are your plans?¡± Bell was a little embarrassed. He had just invited someone to take a look at the scenery, and now, he was going to break his words. This was really not right. Fortunately, Scarlett did not seem to care. ¡°It¡¯s okay. It¡¯s the same if we do it in the future too. Let¡¯s return to the hotel together. Maybe it was arranged by the production team.¡± Bell didn¡¯t say anything else. The two of them finished their breakfast and returned to the hotel. In the lobby, a middle-aged man was holding a handbag. From time to time, he would lower his head to look at his watch, clearly anxious. ¡°Hello, did Mr. Bell say when he will return?¡± The man ran to the front desk and asked the question that he had asked several times. Fortunately, the staff at the front desk had a good temper. Although he had been asked the same question repeatedly, he still maintained a smile. ¡°Sir, please wait patiently. We have already called Mr. Bell. He said that he will be back soon.¡± ¡°Can you call him again?¡± The man asked the staff to make another call to see if he could hurry Bell back. However, before he could finish, a voice cut him off. ¡°There¡¯s no need to call anymore. I¡¯m here.¡± A hotel staff quickly came forward to carry the things in Bell¡¯s hand. The anxious man turned around excitedly and rushed to Bell¡¯s side, his face filled with excitement. ¡°Hello, Mr. Bell. I¡¯m a staff member of Twitch. My name is Hanks. Nice to meet you.¡± The man named Hanks introduced himself excitedly, and Bell shook his hand. ¡°Hello, it¡¯s nice to meet you too. Why are you looking for me?¡± Seeing that it was not someone arranged by the production team, Bell was even more puzzled. The man looked around and said hesitantly. ¡°Mr. Bell, do you want to go somewhere else?¡± Seeing that everyone in the lobby was paying attention to them, Bell nodded. ¡°Alright, then let¡¯s go to my room.¡± The man followed Bell and Scarlett upstairs. In the room, Bell invited the man to sit down. ¡°Mr. Bell, I¡¯m here to talk about cooperation with you on behalf of our company.¡± ¡°Miss Scarlett, I¡¯m honored to be able to see you here. I wonder if¡­¡± The man meant for Scarlett to give them some space. After all, he was going to talk about collaboration with Bell. It did not seem convenient with an outsider around. Scarlett was about to leave when Bell waved. ¡°No need. Miss Scarlett and I are friends. Just say what you want to say.¡± The man was stunned. A trace of warmth appeared in Scarlett¡¯s eyes as she sat beside Bell. Seeing that Bell had already said it, the man felt that it was not good to insist on it. ¡°Alright, since you say so, Mr. Bell, Miss Scarlett can stay here.¡± ¡°Mr. Bell, I officially invite you to join Twitch¡¯s video website. We have prepared the most generous long-term contract. I wonder if you have such an intention.¡± Chapter 44 - Sincerity Is Not Enough, Talk to My Manager Scarlett¡¯s eyes lit up when she heard the name of the company. Twitch¡¯s live-stream platform was definitely one of the top streaming platforms. Even many popular celebrities signed contracts with them. On this website, only B-list or above celebrities with a stable fan base could sign long-term contracts. She did not expect Bell to achieve such an effect with just two live broadcasts. Bell was not surprised. To be precise, he did not know what this platform meant. However, he did have the intention to sell his content for a good price. ¡°I did think of this before, but I want to know what price you will pay.¡± Bell was not in a hurry to agree. Instead, he asked for the other party¡¯s offer. The man was delighted. Since Bell was interested, it meant that this matter could be discussed. He took out a contract from his briefcase and placed it in front of Bell. ¡°Mr. Bell, this is the contract I have drafted for you. You can take a look. It has the conditions you need to fulfill and the reward you will receive.¡± Bell took the contract and opened it in front of Scarlett. The contract in Bell¡¯s hand was a fixed wage contract. Bell would receive a fixed salary regardless of the benefits of the videos. According to the contract, Bell could obtain a fixed income of 100,000 USD every month. Of course, this was assuming that the videos were satisfactory. If there were no quality videos, this guaranteed salary would decrease. At the same time, because of the two-year contract, there was a fine for breach of contract as well. ¡°Mr. Bell, this contract was specially prepared for you. Even the big streamers on the platform will find it difficult to obtain such a contract.¡± The man smiled and sounded proud. Scarlett glanced at the contract in Bell¡¯s hand and frowned. To be honest, this contract was indeed very good when compared to a newbie who had just become famous. It could be said to be sincere. But there was no need to mention how popular Wilderness Survival was right now. Bell was a dark horse in this show. Everyone could see the potential behind Bell. When compared to Bell, this contract seemed to be lacking in sincerity. ¡°Mr. Hanks, to be honest, this contract is only so-so. You and I both know that Bell is not like those newbies who have just debuted.¡± ¡°The contract doesn¡¯t specify what effect the video needs to achieve to qualify.¡± ¡°In other words, if all the month¡¯s videos are judged to be unqualified, Bell will not get a single cent of income. He might even have to pay some penalty fees.¡± ¡°I don¡¯t think you¡¯re sincere enough.¡± Scarlett said forcefully. The man¡¯s expression changed, and Bell smiled. He had expected this to happen, so he had let Scarlett stay. In the eyes of everyone, he was only an eight-year-old child. No matter how mature he was, it was inevitable that others would look down on him. Therefore, if Scarlett Johansson, the current popular female celebrity, helped him, he could increase the price. The man was troubled. He had thought that Bell would definitely agree happily if he took out such a generous contract. If he had known that Scarlett Johansson would speak up for Bell without regard to her status, he would not have let Scarlett Johansson stay or at least choose a time when the two of them were not together. Now, it was a little difficult. The man did not speak for a long time, and Scarlett Johansson spoke again. ¡°I know that Twitch¡¯s platform has a lot of traffic, but after these two shows, Bell is already a broadcaster with a certain number of fans. He can bring these fans to any video site, so your buyout contract format is unreasonable.¡± ¡°Bell is my friend. Don¡¯t think of him as a child. Or I can get my manager to talk to you.¡± Scarlett Johansson was firm. The man was finally moved. Previously, he had thought that Scarlett Johansson might have spoken up because of her friendship with Bell, but now, it seemed like the two of them were more intimate than he had imagined. The fact that Scarlett was willing to use her private connection for Bell¡¯s sake meant something. Bell also saw some trickery. ¡°Alright, Mr. Hanks, I don¡¯t think my friend will lie to me. Since she said that there are some risks to this contract, I think we should consider it carefully.¡± ¡°But I¡¯ll tell you my opinion. Firstly, I won¡¯t agree to sign such a long contract. The longest I can accept is three months. This is my bottom line, and I can¡¯t change it.¡± ¡°The other is the way to split the profits. What I want is not a base salary, but a satisfactory share of the profits with the premise of minimum guarantee. After all, you are only providing the platform.¡± ¡°To be honest, in this era when content creators can publish their articles at will, I feel that although your platform has a lot of traffic, the benefits it can bring me are not as much as I thought. Of course, this also depends on your side. In short, I can¡¯t agree to this contract right now.¡± With that, Bell stood up, seemingly preparing to see the guest out. Seeing that Bell was so determined, Hanks panicked. The little bit of pride he had kept earlier dissipated in fear. The chief had given an absolute order to recruit Bell. If they could not reach an agreement this time, who knew how many more fans Bell would attract when he took part in Wilderness Survival again. By then, the difficulty of signing him would increase exponentially. Moreover, no one could guarantee that Bell would not agree to other platforms. Twitch was indeed a mainstay in the live-stream community, but it was not without competitors. The man quickly tried to calm the situation. ¡°Wait, wait, Mr. Bell, everything can be discussed.¡± ¡°How about this? Give me some time. I¡¯ll report this to the chief and see if we can get the best solution.¡± Scarlett handed a business card. ¡°This is my manager¡¯s card. Bell, why don¡¯t you let him negotiate? He will definitely get a satisfactory contract for you. Of course, the final decision is still yours.¡± Bell nodded. ¡°Alright, sorry for the trouble.¡± The man looked troubled. The other party had found a professional manager. If the company wanted to poach Bell, they would have to pay a huge price. Chapter 45 - Bet Contract Bell and Scarlett smiled at each other as the man left the room. ¡°Bell, you¡¯re treating me to a meal this time.¡± Seeing Scarlett Johansson¡¯s playful expression, Bell smiled helplessly. ¡°Alright, Miss. What do you want to eat? I¡¯ll pay for it.¡± Bell did not refuse. After all, he would have a large income soon, and he could afford to spend on a lavish meal. Seeing that Bell was so sensible, Scarlett nodded in satisfaction. ¡°Not bad, you¡¯re very sensible. My efforts were not in vain.¡± Bell was surprised. ¡°Are you really going to ask your manager to negotiate for me?¡± The manager of a popular female celebrity like Scarlett Johansson was a very important person. Moreover, once Scarlett Johansson¡¯s manager appeared, the situation would be different. The other party might give face to the company behind Scarlett Johansson and give a contract that far exceeded Bell¡¯s value. After all, Bell was not more famous than Scarlett Johansson. The other party was the true top celebrity. The truth was as Bell had thought. After the staff left, he quickly called his boss. ¡°Boss, I¡¯ve already seen that child, but there¡¯s a small problem now.¡± The boss of Twitch frowned when he heard the man. ¡°What problem?¡± She had given a lot of authority to the man to recruit Bell as she was afraid that others would compete with them. They were giving base salary along with a share of profits in a ratio of seven to three. This was definitely a top level contract. However, the man still called her. That was definitely not a small problem. ¡°Why? You¡¯ve already offered the highest price, but the other party is still not satisfied?¡± This was the only reason she could think of. However, the man shook his head. ¡°No, Boss, I didn¡¯t show that contract to him.¡± ¡°The problem now is that the celebrity who appeared in the video with Bell, Scarlett Johansson, is also here. She¡¯s preparing to send her manager to talk to us. I¡¯m afraid our previous contract can¡¯t move her.¡± The leader frowned. It was impossible that she had not heard of Scarlett Johansson. She was a top female celebrity. Now, she was actually going to ask her manager to negotiate with them. It was really like her subordinate had said, they could not be so careless. After all, the other party had a company behind her. They took it for granted that Bell was related to the company behind Scarlett Johansson. ¡°Alright, let¡¯s tell him the highest price we can offer. Give him a platinum contract.¡± ¡°Boss, do we really have to give him such a contract? He doesn¡¯t have so much traffic.¡± The man was shocked. Not even some of the top celebrities in the country could get a platinum contract. Only celebrities with a large number of stable fans could obtain it. Everyone who received such a contract was an A-lister. The man felt that his leader was investing too much.¡¯ ¡°No need to say more. It¡¯s already decided. I¡¯ve seen his videos. This young man has a lot of potential. Just take it as an early investment.¡± The man stopped talking. In the room, Bell sat on the sofa alone and thought about what to eat with Scarlett Johansson. As for Scarlett, she ran into her room after hearing Bell¡¯s reply. Before long, Scarlett Johansson ran out with a smile. ¡°Done.¡± Bell was puzzled. ¡°What¡¯s done?¡± ¡°Your contract, wait for the good news.¡± Just as Scarlett Johansson finished speaking, there was another knock on Bell¡¯s door. ¡°Bang bang bang!¡± ¡°Please come in.¡± The door was pushed open and the man walked in again. However, unlike before, the man changed his attitude. The arrogance that he had earlier was completely gone. ¡°Mr. Bell, you have waited for a long time. I¡¯ve already called the higher-ups. They agree to your condition, Mr. Bell.¡± ¡°The profit sharing from the videos is 9: 1, yours is 90%.¡± ¡°And the end-of-year bonus.¡± ¡°At the same time, the contract¡¯s date has been adjusted. The contract duration will only be three months.¡± Bell looked at Scarlett. ¡°Is your dad a shareholder of this company?¡± Scarlett froze, then rolled her eyes. ¡°What nonsense are you talking about? If my father was a shareholder of this company, why would I not have entered it?¡± ¡°Alright, I was just saying.¡± Bell shrugged. Bell looked at the man again. ¡°I¡¯m very tempted and satisfied with this contract, but you haven¡¯t mentioned the conditions of this contract. I don¡¯t believe that I can get such a contract without doing anything.¡± Bell was not a fool. There was no free lunch. The man smiled awkwardly. ¡°Of course, Mr. Bell. You just need to reach 10 million fans in three months. As long as you can reach this number of fans, Mr. Bell can enjoy this contract.¡± Hearing this number of fans, Bell nodded. His number of fans was about five million currently. In other words, if he wanted to obtain the benefit stated in the contract, he had to double the number of fans. This might be a very difficult challenge for others, but Bell had the system. He was confident that he could fulfill this condition. ¡°Alright, I agree. Bring the contract over tomorrow and I¡¯ll take a look.¡± Scarlett wanted to say something else, but was stopped by Bell. Seeing that he had finally completed the mission, the man heaved a sigh of relief. ¡°Alright, Mr. Bell. I hope your fans increase greatly. I won¡¯t disturb you anymore.¡± Bell nodded and the man walked out of the room. ¡°Bell, you shouldn¡¯t have agreed to it. An increase of five million fans in three months is almost impossible.¡± Scarlett Johansson was anxious. ¡°Why don¡¯t I call the company and let them talk it out? Maybe there is still a need to discuss this.¡± Scarlett took out her phone, but Bell quickly stopped her. ¡°Alright, don¡¯t worry. I¡¯m confident. Moreover, even if I can¡¯t achieve it, I won¡¯t suffer any loss, right? I have to give it a try.¡± Scarlett put down her phone. ¡°That¡¯s okay too. If you don¡¯t succeed, I¡¯ll get my manager to get a good offer for you!¡± Seeing Scarlett Johansson pretend to be fierce, Bell held his forehead and asked again. ¡°Is your dad really not a shareholder?¡± Chapter 46 - Night With Scarlett The man found Bell early in the morning with the contract. He wanted to confirm this matter quickly while Scarlett was not around. Unfortunately, he had underestimated Scarlett. Even though he had arrived very early, Scarlett was earlier because she had been wary of him. Before Bell could get out of bed, Scarlett knocked on the door and pulled Bell up. The man was stunned. ¡°Miss Scarlett, I didn¡¯t expect you to be here so early.¡± Hanks smiled awkwardly. Scarlett snorted proudly, as if to say, ¡®I¡¯ve seen through your trick.¡¯ The man was a little embarrassed. Bell sat on the sofa and rubbed his eyes. ¡°Good morning, Mr. Hanks. Do you sign all the contracts this early?¡± Bell was speechless. Hanks smiled awkwardly again. He took out the document from his briefcase. ¡°Mr. Bell, this is the contract. Please take a look.¡± Hearing the contract, Bell took it and looked at it carefully. The contract today was much more sincere than yesterday¡¯s. Other than the condition of the number of fans, there were no other hidden traps in the contract. It even made Bell wonder if he had taken the wrong contract. Didn¡¯t ordinary newbies have to be scammed a few times to obtain a real decent contract? However, Bell did not know that Scarlett Johansson¡¯s company had called several times last night. They repeatedly emphasized not to do anything funny. With such a big shot in the industry watching, Hanks did not dare to do anything. If someone really found out about it, it would not be resolved by money. After Scarlett confirmed that the contract was fine, Bell signed it. ¡°Mr. Bell, I¡¯m glad you have partnered with Twitch. Do you need me to arrange a personal assistant for you?¡± Bell shook his head, ¡°I¡¯m used to being alone.¡± Hank nodded. ¡°Alright, since you have decided, Mr. Bell, it will be as you wish.¡± ¡°But I hope you can make a trip to the headquarters when you have time. After all, it¡¯s better for you to meet the leaders.¡± Everyone served him well. Why was it the other way around when it came to Bell? However, there was nothing he could do about it. This person in front of him was a big shot. He could not afford to offend someone like that. If it were any other streamer, would they dare to reject having an assistant? After seeing Hanks off, Bell and Scarlett had lunch again. At the dining table, Scarlett was still asking Bell worriedly. ¡°Bell, are you sure you can increase the number of fans by at least five million in three months?¡± It was not her fault that she did not believe it. The main reason was that this challenge was too difficult. Under Bell¡¯s repeated guarantee, Scarlett finally believed him. In the afternoon, someone from the production team finally brought the two of them back to China. Scarlett should have returned to America, but there were still some media activities in China. So she went with Bell. Fortunately, Scarlett had come to China before and bought a villa here. ¡°Bell, stay at my place for the time being. I have a place there. It¡¯s boring to live in such a big house alone.¡± Bell wanted to refuse. However, when he looked at Scarlett, the other party¡¯s gaze was obvious. ¡°If you don¡¯t agree, I¡¯ll cry.¡± ¡°Fine.¡± After getting a satisfactory answer, Scarlett Johansson smiled. At night, in Scarlett Johansson¡¯s villa, the two of them sat by the pool. ¡°Hey, minors can¡¯t drink!¡± Looking at the red wine placed in front of him, Bell was speechless. The last time he carried Scarlett Johansson was still vivid in his mind. Unexpectedly, Scarlett Johansson smiled playfully. ¡°This is juice.¡± Seeing this expression, Bell rolled his eyes. ¡®Juice my a*s.¡¯ But after some thought, Bell picked it up. The night passed peacefully. In the morning, Bell felt particularly heavy. There seemed to be something soft in his hand. He opened his eyes and saw that Scarlett was very close to him. She was looking at him with a smile. Seeing Scarlett¡¯s extremely close face, Bell was instantly awake. He shot out of the bed. ¡°What, what¡¯s going on? Why are you here?¡± Bell asked nervously while wrapping the bed cloth around himself. Scarlett Johansson smiled. ¡°Hey, this is my room. Shouldn¡¯t I be the one asking this question?¡± Only then did Bell slowly come to his senses. He shook his head and remembered what happened last night. ¡°You¡­ you weren¡¯t here all night, were you?¡± Scarlett smiled playfully. ¡°Guess?¡± As she spoke, Scarlett Johansson seemed to flaunt her proud curves. Looking at the woman¡¯s charming appearance, Bell couldn¡¯t help but swallow. Although Bell was not old, his face turned red. Seeing Bell like this, Scarlett couldn¡¯t help but laugh. ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll stop teasing you. How old are you? What are you thinking?¡± ¡°I didn¡¯t see you so shy when we were on the snowy mountain.¡± ¡°I¡¯ll get some food. Hurry and wear your clothes. Someone from the production team is coming today.¡± Scarlett turned and walked out of the room. After the other party left, Bell heaved a sigh of relief. ¡°Fortunately, I¡¯m still young. Otherwise¡­ well, I wouldn¡¯t have suffered a loss either.¡± Instantly, Bell remembered that he did not seem to be an eight-year-old child. What Bell did not know was that although Scarlett looked relaxed just now, her face had actually blushed after she walked out of the room. ¡°Damn it, how did I end up beside this kid?¡± ¡°Sigh, a pity that he¡¯s still too young. How many more years do I have to wait?¡± ¡°By then, would I have already aged¡­¡± ¡°Aiya, what am I thinking about?¡± The two of them finished their breakfast. Chapter 47 - I Suggest Increasing the Difficulty At the dining table, Bell and Scarlett were eating breakfast quietly. Looking at Bell eating happily, Scarlett Johansson hesitated for a moment and said. ¡°There¡¯s something I want to discuss with you.¡± Bell froze and looked up at Scarlett. ¡°What¡¯s wrong? Why are you being so serious?¡± ¡°Actually, I am going to shoot a movie soon. I want to invite you to act with me. I wonder if you have time.¡± Scarlett said. Actually, after Bell signed the contract, Scarlett had already thought about it. It was simply impossible to gain five million followers in three months. But the contract was signed, and Scarlett couldn¡¯t say anything else. Although she felt that it was impossible, she still decided to help Bell. She found a very reasonable explanation for herself. Bell had once saved her life. There was an old saying in China: a drop of water should be returned with a spring. The Americans also understood the concept of returning a favor. Moreover, Bell did not just do a simple favor, he saved her life. As for other personal feelings, Scarlett kept thinking about it, but she was denying it. Bell smiled. How could he not know what the other party meant? He was not a movie actor. Although he was quite famous, he was famous on Wilderness Survival. No matter how suitable it was, it was impossible for a layman like him to play in a movie. At least for now. Scarlett Johansson was clearly relying on her status in the industry to help him increase his fans and popularity. In these three months, even if the movie was not completed, Bell could gain a lot of fans with Scarlett Johansson¡¯s fan base and marketing. There was still hope for five million. But in the end, Bell shook his head. ¡°Thank you, Scarlett, but I still think the Wilderness Survival program is more suitable for me.¡± Perhaps others could not stay on such a program for long, but Bell was different. He had the system and enough fans. Bell was confident that he could survive in all kinds of harsh environments. Moreover, Bell realized that Wilderness Survival seemed to be abnormally popular in this world. Some of the top survivalists were not inferior to those top celebrities. It was because of this that Bell was determined to continue on this path. He wanted to rely on his strength to stand on the same stage as Scarlett Johansson. Seeing Bell refuse, Scarlett Johansson was helpless. After all, this was a rare opportunity. But before she could speak, Bell waved his hand and explained, ¡°Alright, I know you¡¯re worried about me and want to help me quickly reach the stipulated number in the contract. But even if I really go to film a movie, no one will accept a layman like me. A contract made on such an unstable popularity won¡¯t last long.¡± ¡°I still need to develop in my specialty.¡± Bell explained to Scarlett. Hearing Bell¡¯s reason, Scarlett Johansson calmed down. She knew that Bell had a point. Although she could increase the number of Bell¡¯s fans quickly, the problem would eventually arise. After all, he did not rely on himself to increase the number of fans. ¡°But to get so many fans is really a challenge.¡± ¡°Alright, didn¡¯t I say that I am confident in this matter? Just believe me.¡± Seeing Scarlett Johansson¡¯s worried expression, Bell smiled and comforted her again. In front of the overly calm Bell, Scarlett Johansson was like a child. Scarlett wanted to say more, but Bell¡¯s phone suddenly rang, interrupting their conversation. He picked up the call and heard a voice on the other end. ¡°Hello, Mr. Bell, I¡¯m from Wilderness Survival. Where are you now? Do you have time this afternoon? We want to discuss the next recording with you and do an interview as well.¡± ¡°In the afternoon?¡± He looked at Scarlett. Seeing that the other party did not express anything, Bell said, ¡°Alright. I¡¯ll send you the address later.¡± ¡°Alright, Mr. Bell, we won¡¯t disturb you anymore. Someone will contact you later.¡± The production team hung up. Because of the interruption by the production team, Scarlett Johansson did not continue the conversation. The two of them ate breakfast quietly. At 2 PM, the members of the production team arrived at Bell¡¯s residence, ¡®¡¯ which was Scarlett Johansson¡¯s villa. It was still the same beautiful female host from before. ¡°Hello, Bell, we meet again.¡± The host greeted Bell warmly. Bell was the most important person in their show. Once any dangerous scene appeared on the show, as long as it was shown to Bell, he would definitely be able to give the correct demonstration, and the popularity of the show would be adjusted again. The leaders even wanted to focus this show on Bell only. After all, rather than letting the amateurs take the risk to attract viewers, why not create a program for Bell and let everyone see what real Wilderness Survival was? However, this matter was not decided yet. Therefore, the host did not tell Bell that her main goal was to do an interview like the previous time. After all, Bell was the first successful contestant. Another thing was to discuss the location of the next round with Bell. The beautiful host finished the basic interview and asked Bell. ¡°Bell, we¡¯re going to do the next round soon. I wonder if you have any suggestions about the next survival location?¡± Although she seemed to be asking for a suggestion, it was actually asking Bell where he wanted to go. The beautiful host wanted to give Bell a more familiar place. This could not only reduce the risk factor, but also let Bell stand out faster in front of everyone. But Bell shook his head. ¡°I don¡¯t have any good suggestions for now.¡± ¡°However, I think the difficulty of the past two times is too low. We can increase the difficulty appropriately. Perhaps it will be more enjoyable.¡± Bell scanned the remaining popularity points on the system interface. He still had a lot left, enough to exchange for at least four to five skills. It was enough for him to deal with all the difficult environments on Earth. Moreover, he had to sign a contract now and increase his popularity crazily. Of course, he had to choose a more eye-catching place to have such a large number of fans. 1 Chapter 48 - The Third Round of Wilderness Survival Begins The beautiful host was stunned. ¡°The difficulty level is low?¡± She looked at Bell in disbelief. Perhaps only Bell dared to say this in this show. There were thousands of people in the first round. Apart from Bell, the remaining hundred or so passers were all in a sorry state. Some contestants who were lucky enough to pass the preliminary test expressed that they did not want to participate in the subsequent rounds. This was not something ordinary people could adapt to. Back then, everyone had been comparing Bell and the other contestants. The other contestants were all sallow and thin. Although it had only been a few days, they were like savages when they returned to the civilized world. Their first meal after they recovered was still fresh in the female host¡¯s mind. Every one of them was like a hungry ghost. This also made the beautiful host realize the difference between Bell and these contestants. This trip to the snow mountain in the Alps showed everyone how powerful Bell was. In the survival situation in the snow mountain, Bell was the first to successfully escape with an amateur like Scarlett. If Scarlett had not fallen into the ice, Bell might have passed without encountering any danger. This did not mean that these two places were not dangerous enough. In these places, the number of deaths was definitely not small. However, Bell¡¯s professional skills were really too strong. He was prepared for almost everything and avoided all danger. But the others were not as relaxed as Bell. Therefore, Bell was probably the only one who dared to say that the program¡¯s difficulty was low. The beautiful host looked at Bell strangely. ¡°Alright, since you have such a request, I will report to the production team.¡± Hearing that they could really increase the difficulty, Bell nodded in satisfaction. ¡°That would be great.¡± After chatting with Bell for a while, the host left. Soon, the Wilderness Survival¡¯s production team sent a message to Bell. The third round of Wilderness Survival would begin soon. It informed all the contestants to make preparations as soon as possible and confirm if they were participating. After hearing the news, Bell naturally accepted without hesitation. After confirming the number of contestants, the production team made another announcement. When they learned that the third round of Wilderness Survival was about to begin, the fans of this program became excited and started discussing it online. ¡°Great, after waiting for so many days, we are getting another season of this program.¡± ¡°Where¡¯s the contestant list? Let me see if Bell¡¯s name is there.¡± ¡°Are you a fool? Bell is so famous now, how can he not participate?¡± ¡°That might not be true. I have inside information. I heard that the difficulty level of this Wilderness Survival is higher than the previous two.¡± ¡°Increased difficulty? There were many contestants who could not continue and even encountered danger. Is this not difficult? Do they have to increase the difficulty again?¡± ¡°Previous poster, your information is one sided. Let me tell you, I have more insider information than you. The difficulty increase was suggested by Bell himself. Previously, when the production team interviewed him, he said that he felt that the difficulty of the previous two rounds was too low.¡± The audience looked at these posts on the forum and were speechless. ¡°Good lord, as expected of my idol. Bell is awesome!¡± ¡°Only Bell would dare to say such a thing.¡± ¡°The first round¡¯s eliminated contestants are crying silently.¡± After knowing that the difficulty of the program was going to increase, the fans became lively. At the same time, they were even more looking forward to the third round. Time passed slowly, and it was finally time for the broadcast. The screen was still filled with familiar faces. It was the same female host. ¡°Dear viewers, I¡¯m glad to meet you again in this show.¡± ¡°After the previous two rounds of selection, there are fewer and fewer contestants left.¡± ¡°But at the same time, the ones remaining are more experienced.¡± ¡°The remaining contestants are all top contestants of Wilderness Survival.¡± ¡°Therefore, after careful consideration, the production team decided to increase the difficulty of Wilderness Survival.¡± ¡°Our location this time is the Mojave Desert, Utah.¡± As she spoke, the projection behind the beautiful host showed the aerial video of the Mojave Desert. Sand was everywhere. Apart from the yellow sand, there were patches of dried grass. At the same time, because the desert¡¯s temperature was too hot, the camera revealed some distortions. This was an aerial photo, and it was at least 30 to 40 meters above the ground. Even so, the heat still blurred the air. But looking at the scene, even in front of the camera, everyone felt a sense of heat. ¡°F*ck, isn¡¯t this too much?¡± ¡°There was at least food in the primeval forest and the Alps. Where can we find food in a place like the desert?¡± ¡°It¡¯s not just about food. There¡¯s no water here. How can humans survive without water?¡± Just from an image, everyone could sense the danger of this desolate land. At the same time, they could not help but worry for the contestants. But because of the increase in the risk factor, this program¡¯s viewership ratings increased again. While they were worried about the contestants¡¯ lives, they were also looking forward to seeing who could successfully challenge and conquer this desert. Bell nodded in satisfaction when he saw the popularity of the show. ¡°The number of viewership has already broken 100 million. As long as I can stand out enough this time, it shouldn¡¯t be a problem to increase the number of fans by 5 million.¡± ¡°System, help me exchange for desert survival skill.¡± ¡°Rock climbing technique.¡± ¡°And a water source exploration technique.¡± Knowing the location of this survival, Bell did not hesitate to exchange for three skills. These were the three most practical skills he could think of. ¡°Ding! Congratulations, host, you have exchanged successfully.¡± ¡°Desert Survival Technique LV MAX.¡± ¡°Rock Climbing Skill LV MAX.¡± ¡°Water Source Exploration Technique LV MAX.¡± A series of system notifications sounded in Bell¡¯s mind. When Bell looked at the desolate desert again, he immediately thought of how to resolve some of the crises he might encounter. At the same time, the beautiful host stopped the scene. ¡°Everyone, let¡¯s hand the screen to our contestants.¡± ¡°Let us see how our contestants deal with this dangerous challenge.¡± The contestants on the helicopters handed all their belongings to the staff. Only a simple military canteen, a dagger, and a jacket were given. The third round of Wilderness Survival began! Chapter 49 - Utah Desert, Confirming Direction After the host¡¯s opening speech, the screen in the broadcast room also turned to the contestants. Compared to the previous rounds, the number of participants in the desert round was clearly much lower. There were less than 100 people. However, the audience expressed understanding. After all, compared to the tropical rainforest and the snowy mountain, the desert was probably the place where dangers lurked everywhere. Because the water and food needed by the human body were very difficult to find here. Bell had already handed his personal belongings to the production team. In the helicopter, Bell turned on the live broadcast equipment. As soon as the equipment was turned on, a large number of fans rushed in. ¡°Great, I finally see Bell start the live broadcast again.¡± ¡°Is this where the round is going to be? Why is it different from the desert? Why are there only canyons?¡± ¡°Previous poster, you don¡¯t understand. This is a desert, not a simple erg. Of course, it can¡¯t be just sand. Otherwise, how can they even survive?¡± ¡°But don¡¯t be fooled by this. The danger level is definitely not low.¡± Seeing Bell¡¯s stream, the audience became lively. Although it was not the sand dunes that he had imagined, sometimes, this canyon was even more dangerous. The helicopter slowly stopped. As the first test for the survivalists, the helicopter did not choose a stable place for these survivalists. Instead, it stopped directly above a steep cliff. Because of the airflow, the helicopter could not land directly. Fortunately, the production team took out ropes. The instructor handed the rope to Bell. ¡°We have arrived at the center of this desert, but the helicopter can¡¯t land safely. We have to use ropes to descend at a height of 30 to 40 meters from the ground.¡± Bell said to the audience. Because of the temperature difference, the air in front distorted. Bell felt a heat wave hit him. ¡°We have to leave the helicopter as soon as possible.¡± ¡°The helicopter¡¯s propeller is constantly drawing this heat wave over.¡± Bell did not hesitate and immediately climbed down the rope. After landing, Bell did not stay idle either. He quickly untied the rope and escaped from the range of the propeller. After putting away the ropes, the helicopter slowly left. The third round of the Wilderness Survival was starting in Utah¡¯s desert. Bell stood on the steep cliff and looked around. ¡°The production team really knows how to play. They have already activated hell mode.¡± Bell joked. At the same time, the camera turned. Bell was on the top of a cliff. It was nearly 30 meters tall. ¡°Although we¡¯re standing higher now, I have to say that I don¡¯t feel cool at all.¡± ¡°I feel like I¡¯m in an oven.¡± Sweat was flowing down Bell¡¯s face. This was because the heat here was too high, and the water in the human body would quickly evaporate. Sensing the rapid loss of water in his body, Bell did not dare to delay. ¡°Let¡¯s move quickly and reach our goals. According to what I know, there are two rivers in this desert. As long as we can find these two rivers, we will be saved.¡± ¡°Remember what I said before? We can see further from a high point of view. Let¡¯s take advantage of this high altitude to confirm the direction.¡± Bell stood on the spot and looked around. In this desert, there were canyon and dried river beds everywhere. It was not easy to determine which river was the one he needed to find. The audience also saw the scene in front of Bell. They couldn¡¯t help but gasp. Although Bell said it relatively simply, everyone saw that there were dried river beds everywhere in the desert. It was impossible to tell. ¡°F*ck, can the host really find it? If he decides on one and it is not a river, won¡¯t he be dead meat?¡± ¡°I heard that there are many river beds in this desert. They have been settled for countless years. They must have been abandoned long ago.¡± ¡°There are so many river beds. How can we differentiate between them?¡± The comments were filled with questions. Bell smiled. ¡°Don¡¯t be anxious. Everyone, maintain your calm.¡± ¡°I¡¯ll tell everyone how to find this river bed.¡± ¡°Everyone knows that plant growth requires water. Even in this desert, this law will not change.¡± ¡°Therefore, by confirming the signs of plants, it can help us determine which river bed has a water source that flowed through it in the short term.¡± Bell zoomed in the camera toward the distance. There were some sagebrush growing densely. The audience was excited to see the plant. ¡°Host, we saw it. Is it there? Is there a water source there?¡± Everyone thought that the dense sagebrush was near the water source. Some hates even curled their lips when they saw this scene. The comments were not polite. ¡°Tsk, the production team only knows how to add gimmicks. They even said that the difficulty of this round will increase. So it turns out that they dropped him in such a safe place. They might as well drop him beside the river.¡± ¡°That¡¯s right, with this difficulty, I can do it too.¡± ¡°Previous poster, you can only say this on the screen. I¡¯m afraid you will be the first to withdraw from the competition.¡± There were naturally fans who defended. The next second, Bell shook his head. ¡°Although we saw some dense green plants, unfortunately, they are not what we are looking for.¡± Although sagebrush grew in the desert, unlike other plants, it did not require much water, so it usually did not grow beside the river. Therefore, they could not find a water source if they followed it. Bell turned the camera. ¡°Sorry, our luck is not too good. Although we are standing on a high ground, we have not been able to find the correct direction.¡± Hearing Bell¡¯s words, the haters who were arguing on the screen stopped. They resentfully deleted the message in their comment box. However, these haters were still staring at the screen, wanting to see if there was anything they could argue about. Seeing that the direction was not confirmed, the real fans were worried for Bell. Chapter 50 - Rock Climbing, Gifts ¡°Host, what should we do in this situation? If we don¡¯t find the direction, won¡¯t it be dangerous to blindly walk in this desert?¡± Comments flashed across the screen. Even ignorant people knew that they could not waste their energy casually in the desert. At the same time, these fans were worried for Bell. The difficulty of Wilderness Survival this time was indeed much higher than before. Even Bell did not immediately figure out a plan. This had never happened in the previous two rounds. Everyone was worried. However, at this moment, Bell turned the camera in another direction. ¡°Alright, don¡¯t worry. Although the setting is indeed difficult, I will tell everyone the correct way to survive in the desert and escape danger.¡± ¡°Since I can¡¯t find a water source, I can try to reduce the surface temperature and maintain my stamina.¡± Bell zoomed in again. On the screen, a canyon appeared before everyone. ¡°We can try to get there first. It¡¯s not too far from our location. The bottom of the canyon can be slightly cooler.¡± ¡°This can help us maintain the water content in our bodies.¡± ¡°Moreover, because the water usually flows down, there might be a water source in the canyon. That¡¯s the direction we¡¯re going now.¡± Bell looked around. ¡°However, we still have a problem to resolve. This slope is really too high. We have to think of a way to get down from this slope first.¡± The camera followed Bell¡¯s gaze. Everyone was shocked. The slope did not seem to be very high or steep, so they did not take it to heart. They felt that the place was just a small slope. But at this moment, when they saw from Bell¡¯s point of view, this slope was actually forty to fifty meters tall. Moreover, the surroundings were not as stable as they had imagined. Bell walked to the edge of the slope and tested it with his foot. With a light step, the weathered rock was shattered and rolled down. Fortunately, Bell was quite skilled and quickly retreated, preventing him from falling with the rocks. Otherwise, he would have been seriously injured or dead. The rock that Bell had stepped on fell to the ground and shattered into pieces. Seeing this scene, the crowd realized how dangerous this slope was. ¡°F*ck, did the production team make a mistake? Why did they drop him in such a place? Isn¡¯t this fatal?¡± ¡°At this height, if he falls, he won¡¯t even need to be saved.¡± ¡°Host, why don¡¯t you change the route?¡± Some fans realized the danger and started persuading. Bell looked around and shook his head. ¡°No, everyone can see it.¡± ¡°This round platform is surrounded by bumpy areas. The only part that is relatively stable is too far away.¡± ¡°In the desert, our bodies will lose a lot of water, so we have to hurry.¡± ¡°This is the shortest distance to our target.¡± ¡°I will teach everyone how to climb down rocks first.¡± Hearing that Bell was really preparing to descend on this steep and loose slope, everyone couldn¡¯t help but worry. ¡°The host is awesome!¡± ¡°Host, if you succeed, I¡¯ll gift you 5,000 USD.¡± ¡°The tycoon has appeared.¡± ¡°Remember this ID! We can¡¯t let him escape.¡± Seeing that Bell was really preparing to do such a dangerous thing, everyone was excited. The comments became abnormally lively. Seeing the atmosphere so lively, Bell smiled. He did not care about money, but this reward could increase his popularity. This was what he needed the most. This strengthened his resolve to take the risk. ¡°Alright, let¡¯s begin.¡± Bell walked to the edge of the slope. After many attempts, he found a relatively stable place. Bell moved down and explained. ¡°You have to pay attention to whether the rocks under your feet are stable. These rocks are made of layers of sand and rock. They are not dense, so they are not firm.¡± ¡°At the same time, you have to pay attention to something when you are climbing down.¡± ¡°When you try to do rock climbing, you might face a situation.¡± ¡°You will realize that you have reached the middle and can¡¯t go up or down.¡± ¡°Even many experienced climbers will die in this situation.¡± ¡°I can teach everyone a way.¡± ¡°If the next landing spot is only 4 to 5 meters away, you can try to jump. It might save your life.¡± ¡°When jumping down, put your legs together and bend your knees slightly. When you land, you can choose to roll and land. This way, the force of the impact can be spread to your legs and back to the greatest extent.¡± ¡°Let me give everyone a demonstration.¡± With that, Bell bent his legs slightly and tightened them. The five-meter height made one¡¯s heart palpitate, but Bell jumped down without hesitation. ¡°Oh my god, this is too dangerous!¡± Many of the audience were shocked when they saw this scene. Many people had even taken out their phones to help Bell contact the rescue helicopter. But the next second, Bell did as he said. After landing, he immediately rolled. After rolling two rounds, he stood up. The audience was stunned when they saw this scene. ¡°He¡¯s really fine.¡± ¡°Oh my god, this is much more exciting than parkour.¡± ¡°How agile!¡± ¡°Bell is awesome!¡± ¡°Anon gifted the host 500 USD.¡± ¡°Anon gifted the host 500 USD.¡± ¡°Anon gifted the host 500 USD.¡± ¡­ ¡°F*ck, the tycoon kept his word! Hurry up and snatch the gift bag!¡± After Bell landed, the lurker who had said that he would reward Bell kept his word and gifted ten gifts worth 500 USD. Reward was a common activity on the platform. One-third of the income would go to the platform, one-third to the host, and the other third would be distributed to all online users. As long as they paid attention to Bell¡¯s live-stream, they could receive it. Therefore, a gift window quickly appeared in Bell¡¯s live-stream. Immediately, a large number of audience entered Bell¡¯s live-stream. The lurkers were dumbfounded. ¡°What happened here? Why are there so many gifts all of a sudden?¡± Chapter 51 - The Correct Way to Maintain Water Content Due to the large amount of gifts from the fans, the gift bags were distributed across the entire platform. A large number of the audience entered Bell¡¯s live-stream. However, some of the audience who had just arrived could not understand what was going on. Some helpful fans answered the questions for Bell. This saved Bell a lot of trouble. At the same time, Bell noticed that there was a fan named Scarlett Johansson with the fan tag She organized fans for Bell and acted as the moderator. Bell¡¯s intuition told him that this fan was most likely Scarlett herself. He appointed her as the moderator. On the other end of the screen, Scarlett Johansson was stunned for a moment when she saw the notification of Bell giving her the position of the moderator. Then, she smiled. ¡°He¡¯s quite attentive.¡± With the authority to moderate the channel, Scarlett Johansson worked even harder to help Bell arrange the atmosphere in the live-stream. Bell began to walk in the direction he had set. It was already ten in the morning. The sunlight in the desert was not yet at its pick. 1 But as time passed, the temperature in the desert would continue to rise. In fact, it was already happening. Bell felt like he had entered an oven. In addition to the intense exercise earlier, Bell¡¯s clothes were almost drenched. At the same time, he was dizzy. Left with no choice, Bell could only stop temporarily. He took off his T-shirt. Then, he tore it and wrapped it around his head and neck. From a distance, it looked like the attire of an Arab. ¡°Host, this is a little comical. Why are you tearing your clothes and wearing them?¡± Some of the audience were very puzzled. Bell took out his canteen and took a small sip before carefully putting it back. He did not have a lot of water. The production team only filled half the canteen with water. It was not enough to do anything in this desert. He had to save as much as possible. Bell explained after seeing the comments. ¡°The reason I did this was to lower the temperature.¡± The audience was stunned. Shouldn¡¯t the temperature be lower by exposing the skin to the outside? Wouldn¡¯t it be hotter if he wrapped it tightly with clothes? ¡°Everyone might think it¡¯s strange seeing me like this. In fact, it¡¯s because the heat we usually feel is different from the heat in the desert.¡± ¡°In normal summer, everyone will take off their jacket or clothes when it¡¯s too hot.¡± ¡°This can make you feel cooler.¡± ¡°But in fact, this is an illusion. In a big city, the weather is mild and there is wind.¡± ¡°That¡¯s why you think it¡¯s cooler to expose your skin.¡± ¡°But if it¡¯s in the desert, I suggest that you don¡¯t do this, because it might cost you your lives.¡± ¡°The temperature in the desert is very high. Under high temperatures, you will sweat a lot.¡± ¡°Perhaps you will feel cool when you take off your clothes, but soon, the sweat on your body will evaporate, and the high temperature in the desert will continue to make you sweat.¡± ¡°In this situation, you will completely dehydrate in less than an hour.¡± ¡°Then faint from heat stroke.¡± ¡°What would the result be if you fainted from heatstroke in this environment? I believe I don¡¯t need to say much.¡± Bell felt thirsty again. Then, he quickly took the water canteen from his waist and drank another sip. He continued to explain to the audience. ¡°Therefore, I suggest that everyone try their best to cover their skin.¡± ¡°Although this will make you feel uncomfortable, the evaporation of the sweat in your clothes will be much slower.¡± ¡°At the same time, a large amount of water can block your pores and prevent you from losing water quickly.¡± ¡°This is also why most people who live in the surrounding cities or countries will choose to wear a scarf or long dress.¡± The audience finally understood. ¡°So there¡¯s such a thing. I always thought that the clothes were different because of the different customs.¡± ¡°Previous poster, the truth is that the changes in the clothes of various countries are due to the environment. This is similar to biological evolution.¡± ¡°Professional! Boss Bell!¡± Through Bell¡¯s explanation, the new audience who had come due to the gifts were instantly attracted. Although they had also been watching Wilderness Survival in other live-streams, they only knew the hows but not the whys. Even when faced with questions from fans, the streamers usually could not explain the reason. Seeing someone like Bell who explained it so comprehensively was the first. Immediately, the new audience were attracted and stayed behind. Bell¡¯s fans increased again. A dry wind blew. He felt like his skin was about to split open like dry ground. Although he was constantly taking small sips of water, his lips were turning pale and cracked. In fact, it was not suitable to speak much in the desert. But he had to continue the interaction and explain his actions as clearly as possible to get more fans. While Bell was moving towards his goal, the comments were already heatedly discussing. ¡°Everyone, let me tell you bad news. There are already contestants who have withdrawn from the competition because of dehydration.¡± ¡°Just now, I saw that contestant. Just like the host said, he took off his clothes because he was too hot, and now, he¡¯s waiting for rescue.¡± As the comments were posted, some curious fans went over to take a look and saw that the said contestant was lying on the ground, looking like he was on his last breath. It had been less than two hours since the contestants landed, but someone had already been eliminated. The fans who came from Bell¡¯s live-stream gasped when they saw this. Good lord, this contestant¡¯s appearance was not different from what Bell had said. Bell also saw the comments. After hearing about the contestant, he shook his head helplessly. Only those who knew about Wilderness Survival knew that the greatest danger had never been the poisonous snakes and ferocious beasts, but the environment created by nature. Looking at the sun, Bell said, ¡°In this extreme environment, if you don¡¯t grasp the correct survival technique, it¡¯s actually very difficult to live a day.¡± Chapter 52 - Even Urine Cant Be Wasted Hearing Bell¡¯s words and the live example shown by another contestant, the audience no longer doubted the authenticity of these words. Even those haters who thought that Wilderness Survival was simple closed their mouths at this moment. The bloody reality was right in front of them. How could they dare to say anything? Bell said as he looked at the sun. ¡°It¡¯s almost noon, which is the time when the temperature is the highest.¡± ¡°The temperature in this desert can even reach 41 ?¡ãC.¡± ¡°In some parts, it might even be higher. It¡¯s not strange to get sunburn everywhere on the body.¡± ¡°In such an environment, we will lose a lot of water every second.¡± ¡°I have to ensure that I drink no less than 4.5 liters of water.¡± ¡°This amount can barely maintain the balance of the electrolytes.¡± With that, Bell drank another mouthful of water. There was not much water left in the canteen. At the same time, his stomach was telling him that it was time to replenish his energy. ¡°Other than water, food here is also very scarce, so don¡¯t miss anything edible.¡± Bell said as he walked. His eyes were looking around. The audience in the live-stream felt their hearts ache when they saw Bell¡¯s expression. It was unbelievable that an eight-year-old had to survive in such a harsh environment. At the same time, many Bell¡¯s fans noticed his dry lips. ¡°Host, you should speak less.¡± ¡°My heart aches for Bell. Production team, you bastards!¡± Many fans were worried that Bell would be exhausted from talking too much. Looking at the comments in the live-stream, Bell did not force himself. As the sun rose, the temperature gradually increased. Because of the heat, the air became distorted. Although the canyon did not seem far when he looked from the cliff, it was a different matter when he walked towards it. Fortunately, he finally reached the edge of the canyon. As soon as he arrived, he felt a slight dizziness. He knew that it was because it was too hot, and he was already showing signs of heat stroke. Bell did not dare to delay. He quickly found a shady spot and sat down to rest. He felt much better and heaved a sigh of relief. ¡°Although this place can let us rest for a while, the sun will soon change its direction and this shade will disappear, so we have to think of other ways to get rest.¡± Looking around and finding no other good shelter, Bell made a decision. ¡°It seems like we have to dig a pit here. We can rest in it.¡± ¡°Although the sand looks very hot in this desert, it¡¯s still cool under the sand.¡± He started digging with his hands. As soon as he touched the sand, he couldn¡¯t help but frown. ¡°The temperature of the sand here is very high. If you place your hand on the sand, you will feel the heat in less than three seconds.¡± ¡°But for the sake of survival, we can¡¯t think too much.¡± Because it was sand, it was not difficult to dig. Although there were no tools, Bell still dug a pit that was enough for him to lie in, in less than ten minutes. Of course, this was also related to his size. After all, Bell was only eight years old. Lying in the sand pit, Bell heaved a sigh of relief. The long-lost comfortable feeling came again. ¡°Everyone, to be honest, this is not comfortable, but this is indeed a good way to get a rest.¡± ¡°We can rest here for a while. Looking at the time, it should take about two to three hours before this peak hot period is over.¡± ¡°However, it¡¯s not time to rest yet. Before that, we need to do something else, which is to collect water.¡± Hearing that Bell wanted to collect water, the audience couldn¡¯t help but think of the knowledge about getting water that Bell had explained in the primeval forest. However, the situation then belonged to the rainforest where the weather was moist. But, they were in the desert now. Would the method be effective? But the next second, Bell stood up and said, ¡°Everyone, there¡¯s something I don¡¯t know if I should say. My next actions might affect the show.¡± ¡°After all, other than sweating, there is another way which discharges water.¡± ¡°In this environment, every drop of water is very precious. Even your own urine can¡¯t be wasted. Maybe at the most critical moment, it can save your life.¡± The moment this was said, the fans in the live-stream exploded. ¡°F*ck, Bell?¡± ¡°How did I already guess it?¡± ¡°Children¡¯s pee should be okay, right?¡± ¡°No, Bell, don¡¯t do this.¡± ¡°I want to send some knives to the production team.¡± Many of Bell¡¯s mother fans were agitated when they knew what Bell was going to do. But Bell was in no mood to pay attention to them. ¡°Alright, don¡¯t be nervous. Although it¡¯s a little too much for everyone, this is a forced situation. Of course, we haven¡¯t fallen to such a state yet. To be honest, I don¡¯t really want to experience that feeling, but in order to survive, we have to be prepared for emergencies.¡± ¡°A few years ago, there was a tourist who got lost in the desert.¡± ¡°After drinking all the water, this person relied on his urine to survive until the rescue team rescued him.¡± ¡°If we reach that stage, I think life is more important.¡± ¡°Alright, let¡¯s stop talking. Please excuse me for now.¡± With that, Bell turned around and peed on a new pit. ¡°Why do I suddenly want to see the front?¡± ¡°If this was an adult broadcaster, I would definitely call the police and report him.¡± After finishing, he took out the small water canteen and placed it in the middle of the pit. Then, he tore off the outermost layer of the backpack and covered the pit with it. Finally, he carefully put sand on the edges to hold it in the pit. Then, Bell grabbed a handful of sand and placed it in the middle of the thin membrane, increasing its weight and making the plastic sheet cave in. The audience looked at Bell as he moved step by step. They seemed to be looking forward to something. Chapter 53 - Distilled Water, Looking for Food Bell continued to explain to everyone. ¡°Alright, everyone, there¡¯s nothing we can do about this.¡± ¡°Moreover, we are not drinking it directly.¡± ¡°Instead, we need to adopt some methods.¡± ¡°The water in the urine is absorbed by the sand in the pit. Because the temperature here is too high, and the plastic sheet is covering the pit, the water droplets that evaporate will condense on the surface of the membrane. When there are enough water droplets, they will naturally slide down to the sunken area and drip into the canteen.¡± ¡°Actually, it¡¯s no different from distilled water.¡± The audience couldn¡¯t help but comment. ¡°Good lord, I feel like the distilled water is suddenly not that clean.¡± Bell ignored the heated discussions on the screen. He was very tired. He returned to the pit he had dug before and lay down. ¡°We can rest in peace for a while. Sleeping will let us save our energy and get past the hottest period of time.¡± ¡°Most importantly, it will take some time to distill and get water.¡± ¡°If you think it¡¯s boring, you can come and take a look later.¡± With that, Bell closed his eyes and wanted to rest. However, this was the desert after all. Moreover, the weather was so hot that there was no way to rest properly. Bell could only lie down and toss for a while. In the end, he barely made it past the high temperature. He had thought that many of the audience in the live-stream would leave during his rest. Unexpectedly, not only did the audience not leave, but his popularity increased instead. ¡°A certain broadcaster has slept for millions of years.¡± There were some comments teasing Bell, but Bell only smiled. He rubbed his face and stood up to watch the chat. ¡°Alright, it¡¯s about time. I can clearly feel that the temperature is not as high as before.¡± ¡°Let¡¯s see how much water we have collected. If everything goes well, there should be a portion already.¡± Bell got up and walked to the sandpit, carefully moving the surrounding sand away. Then, he saw that the water had only filled two centimeters of the water canteen. Although it was not a lot, it could hydrate him for a while. ¡°Everyone, it worked. Although this water is not much, it is indeed distilled water. Moreover, it can¡¯t be wasted. It can let you live for a while longer.¡± With that, Bell picked up the canteen and drank it all. It was already late afternoon. Although Bell was walking at the bottom of the canyon, there were still no dense plants. In the face of the harsh natural environment, apart from the test of food and water, psychological quality was also a huge problem. Once they felt despair, it was easy to make a wrong judgment and lose their lives. Bell had been trying his best to remain optimistic. Looking into the distance, Bell seemed to have made a new discovery. He hurried forward. The audience in the live-stream was interested when they saw Bell¡¯s actions. They looked in the direction Bell had gone. Not far away, there were a few slightly yellowed reeds. The camera zoomed in. Bell leaned down and looked at the reeds in front of him as he explained to the live-stream. ¡°Look what we found. A few reeds.¡± ¡°This is good news.¡± ¡°Under normal circumstances, reeds will only grow in areas with abundant water resources.¡± ¡°In this desert where there is no river, it means that there must be an underground river below this reed.¡± ¡°Although these reeds are not tall, their roots are very deep. They can even be three to five meters long.¡± ¡°It is also because of this that we can see such plants in a place like the desert.¡± The audience was puzzled. ¡°Three to five meters? Is the host going to dig into the underground river?¡± ¡°Previous poster, are you a fool? Do you think it¡¯s so easy to dig three to five meters deep?¡± Bell quickly explained when he saw the comments. ¡°Everyone, don¡¯t be mistaken. I don¡¯t have the energy to dig a pit that is three to five meters deep. However, these reeds are also a little wet from the water, so they can¡¯t be wasted.¡± As he spoke, Bell took out the dagger and cut off a few reeds. There was still a trace of sap from the cut part of the reed. Bell placed it in his mouth like he was chewing sugarcane. His expression changed immediately. ¡°To be honest, this taste is not good. It¡¯s a little sour and has a pungent smell.¡± ¡°But this is the desert after all. We can¡¯t chase after delicacies. We can only try our best to replenish the nutrition in our bodies.¡± ¡°Just treat it as chewing sugarcane, although it¡¯s useless.¡± It was unknown if Bell was consoling the audience or himself. Looking at Bell¡¯s difficult expression, everyone knew that the taste of this thing was definitely not good. Holding the reed, Bell stopped and continued moving along the bottom of the canyon. He used the reeds to replenish some water while searching for new food and water. Unfortunately, he did not see any edible plants or animals even after a long while. The desert was like this. The large area of yellow sand prevented the plants from sowing or taking root. But soon, Bell made a new discovery. Looking at the sand not far from his feet that seemed to be shaking slightly, Bell¡¯s eyes lit up. ¡°Everyone, we seem to have made some new discoveries.¡± Bell took out the dagger and slowly and carefully moved it to the spot where the sand was shaking. He pushed aside the sand and saw a slightly translucent scorpion crawl out. Seeing this, Bell quickly pressed it down with the dagger. Sensing the threat, the scorpion used the two pincers on its front legs and the poisonous stinger on its tail to stab the back of the knife. Unfortunately, it was useless. ¡°This is a desert scorpion. This thing usually eats small insects in the desert. Occasionally, it will hunt some birds or rats.¡± ¡°Of course, such large prey is already a huge harvest for them.¡± ¡°Normally speaking, this scorpion cannot capture such prey.¡± ¡°But it is my prey today.¡± Chapter 54 - Crunch Crunch Chicken Taste The audience was stunned when they heard Bell¡¯s comments. ¡°Why do I have a bad feeling?¡± ¡°Little scorpion, run!¡± ¡°Scorpio lovers express strong condemnation.¡± Some of the audience had already guessed what Bell was doing. But most of them were just teasing. Bell did not plan to stop. It was already very rare to have some food in this desert. Living was the foundation of survival. ¡°Alright, don¡¯t joke. Just like you all thought, it¡¯s my food now.¡± ¡°Although this thing looks a little disgusting, it has enough protein.¡± ¡°You can eat it with ease as long as you remove the poisonous glands and sting on its tail.¡± Bell carefully cut off the poisonous sting on the scorpion¡¯s tail. Then, he picked it up and showed it to everyone. ¡°Everyone, you can see it clearer this way.¡± ¡°In this desert, not only is water scarce, but food is also scarce.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t miss anything that can be eaten if it cannot harm our bodies.¡± With that, Bell stuffed the lively scorpion into his mouth and chewed it with a pained expression. The audience also quivered. After chewing and swallowing the scorpion with difficulty, Bell did not forget to explain the taste of the scorpion to everyone. ¡°Not bad, crunchy, chicken taste.¡± The moment he spoke, the audience could not sit still. ¡°F*ck, does the host have to have such a strong taste?¡± Hearing Bell¡¯s words, some of the audience had goosebumps. Bell smiled. ¡°Alright, let¡¯s not joke. To be honest, the taste is really not good. It feels like I just ate a mouthful of expired fried lobsters.¡± Everyone laughed. ¡°Awesome!¡± ¡°I thought you would cook it first.¡± Bell smiled. ¡°Of course roasted scorpion tastes better, but unfortunately, we don¡¯t have the time or energy to do all that now.¡± ¡°Moreover, the temperature will increase again after the fire is started. I would have drunk all that water for nothing.¡± After saying that, Bell stopped harping on this question. ¡°Alright, everyone, although the taste is not good, we did replenish some proteins.¡± ¡°There¡¯s not much time left. The sun will set soon. After it does, this desert will become even more dangerous.¡± ¡°Moreover, such a dry climate can easily form sandstorms.¡± ¡°That would be troublesome.¡± ¡°If a sandstorm happens in this environment, everything will be buried inside.¡± ¡°Even large animals are no exception.¡± ¡°Therefore, if you want to live safely, you have to find a shelter for yourself before the sun sets.¡± When the audience heard that the desert was actually so dangerous, they could not help but gasp. After watching this live broadcast for so long, everyone understood the danger of this desert. They no longer dared to look down on the desert like before. Bell looked around for a suitable place to serve as a shelter while explaining the basic information about the desert to the audience. ¡°Although the desert is dry in the day, it can even reach a temperature of 40 ¡ãC.¡± ¡°But at night, it will change completely.¡± ¡°The night temperature might drop to 10 ¡ãC, or even lower.¡± ¡°The main reason is that the sand in this desert absorbs heat and dissipates heat too quickly.¡± ¡°The sand can absorb the heat continuously during the day, but at night, the sand will quickly turn cold without the heat.¡± ¡°Too much temperature difference will make it difficult to adapt.¡± ¡°Therefore, it¡¯s important to find a shelter that can avoid sandstorms and maintain our body temperature.¡± ¡°Wait! Look there!¡± Bell was explaining the foundation of desert survival to the audience. Suddenly, Bell noticed a huge tree in the distance. To be precise, it was a very tall desert poplar tree. He had been looking around earlier and did not look into the distance. Seeing this thing, Bell was instantly excited. ¡°This is good stuff.¡± ¡°Looks like we¡¯re in luck.¡± The audience couldn¡¯t help but look in the direction Bell had pointed. Looking at the thick poplar tree, everyone was puzzled. Why was Bell so excited to see this tree? But soon, Bell explained. ¡°Everyone, don¡¯t think that this is just a poplar tree. In this desert, to the survivalists, this is even more precious than treasure.¡± ¡°The roots of the desert poplar tree can reach up to six meters underground. This is also the main reason why these poplar trees can still grow so lushly in such a harsh environment.¡± ¡°Because even in this desert, it can still find enough water.¡± ¡°Moreover, there is a large amount of water stored in the branches of the poplar tree. I think we should be able to find a lot of water from such a thick poplar tree.¡± ¡°Most importantly, this poplar tree is tall and thick. We can sleep on its trunk at night. This way, we don¡¯t have to worry about the sand being too cold at night.¡± With this in mind, Bell walked quickly. However, when he walked to the poplar tree, Bell was slightly disappointed. ¡°Unfortunately, this poplar tree is already dead.¡± Bell shook his head regretfully. Hearing Bell¡¯s words, everyone sighed. ¡°If the poplar tree is dead, does it mean it will collapse easily? Then, it¡¯s not safe to stay here, right?¡± ¡°Should we find another shelter?¡± Some fans said to Bell. But Bell still shook his head. ¡°No, although this poplar tree is dead, its roots are very deep, so even a dead poplar tree is still very strong.¡± ¡°We don¡¯t have much time. The sun will set soon, so we can only choose to stay here tonight.¡± ¡°The only flaw is that we can¡¯t rely on this poplar tree to obtain water.¡± ¡°But if a sandstorm comes, we can hug this poplar tree and ensure that we won¡¯t be lost in the desert.¡± Chapter 55 - Fans Increase Hearing that the poplar tree could still be used as a shelter, the fans heaved a sigh of relief for Bell. Bell walked around the poplar tree. He measured the height and thickness of this poplar tree. ¡°This poplar tree shouldn¡¯t be young. Its diameter is about 1.5 meters, and its trunk is about two meters tall.¡± Climbing up the tree trunk, Bell found that there was actually a hole at the top, forming a pit. ¡°Not bad. I should be able to sleep more comfortably here tonight.¡± Because Bell was young and small, this hole was just enough for him to stay in. From afar, it looked like a bird¡¯s nest on the dry tree. After dealing with the matters about the shelter, Bell did not stay idle. After getting off the tree, he dug another deep pit beside the tree. The diameter and depth were about half a meter. Then, he took off the lid of the water canteen and repeated his actions at noon. Bell explained with a smile. ¡°I believe everyone has already guessed that what I need to do now is still to get water. Although it looks no different from what we did in the afternoon, the principle is actually different.¡± ¡°At noon, we mainly rely on the high temperature of the sand to evaporate the water in the sand and form distilled water.¡± ¡°What we need to do now is to use the temperature difference at night.¡± ¡°Because the temperature in this desert will drop drastically at night, the water in the sandpit will condense into water droplets again due to the cold air.¡± ¡°Let¡¯s have a good rest. We should be able to drink a mouthful of water when we wake up.¡± Bell sat on the tree trunk and interacted with the audience. ¡°Our luck is not bad. Although this poplar tree is dried up, it can provide us with good shelter.¡± ¡°If you really encounter such a situation one day, the best suggestion I have for you is to find a place to rest during the day and think of a way to travel at night.¡± ¡°This can save as much energy as possible.¡± ¡°What I need to do now is to rest for a while like I said. We can think of a way to continue our journey after midnight.¡± ¡°By the way, please use your free hearts if you have them. Now, everyone, let¡¯s rest for a while.¡± After chatting for a while, and having been busy for the entire day, Bell felt exhausted. Soon, he fell asleep. The desert at night was terrifyingly silent. Occasionally, there would be a rustling sound. It was unknown if it was the sound of the wind or some other creature. The night passed peacefully, and Bell slept soundly. He only woke up after midnight. He stood on the tree and looked around. After realizing that there was no danger around, he climbed down from the tree. Because there were no tall buildings blocking the moonlight, the desert looked especially clear. This provided Bell with some convenience. With Bell waking up, a large number of fans quickly entered the live-stream. It was already late at night, and many of the other contestants had already begun to rest. Bell had used this time difference to attract many fans again. After this short day, Bell¡¯s followers increased by nearly 500,000. He nodded in satisfaction. At this rate, it would not be difficult to reach 10 million followers in three months. Jumping down from the tree trunk, Bell dug out the water canteen. However, compared to the previous time, there was too little water. ¡°Sigh, it¡¯s less than a centimeter filled. It¡¯s really not enough, but I can¡¯t waste it.¡± Bell smiled and drank the water. ¡°We don¡¯t have any water left. The temperature is just right. We have to hurry and find another water source to replenish our energy.¡± ¡°To be honest, I¡¯m a little thirsty and hungry.¡± ¡°I only ate a scorpion for the entire day. You have to know that I am still growing.¡± Bell joked to ease the atmosphere in the live-stream. At the same time, he was adjusting his mentality. The audience couldn¡¯t help but chuckle when they heard Bell¡¯s words, but their hearts ached. ¡°Host, you¡¯ve worked hard.¡± Bell did not respond. ¡°Alright, let¡¯s not waste anymore time. Let¡¯s hurry and see if we can find anything to eat. Many creatures in the desert choose to move at night. Maybe we can encounter some.¡± Bell did not delay. He decided on a direction and began to search for the riverbed. When a person stepped on the loose sand at night, the movement was subtle. The surroundings were so quiet that it made one nervous. However, at this moment, Bell¡¯s eyes focused and his footsteps slowed. ¡°Everyone, be quiet. I think we found something.¡± On the screen, Bell looked at the sand dune not far away. On the sand that was illuminated by the moonlight, something seemed to be moving underneath, shaking the upper layer of sand. If not for the moonlight shining on this area, Bell would have difficulty discovering it. After carefully observing the vibration pattern, Bell bent down and jumped out like a cheetah in the shadows, stabbing his hand into the sand. Then, because of the imbalance, he rolled down from the sand dune. Bell¡¯s actions were very fast. Even the audience was shocked. By the time everyone came to their senses, they saw that Bell had already stood up with a half-meter-long snake in his hand. Bell moved the creature to the camera and gave everyone a closer look. ¡°Everyone, look at this. It¡¯s a sand boa.¡± ¡°Everyone, don¡¯t be fooled by its name. Although it is a boa, this guy is actually very small. The largest sand boa is at most around a meter long.¡± ¡°They usually hide under the sand and ambush insects and rats at night, but its luck is not good today. It is my food now.¡± Before anyone could react, Bell took out his dagger and cut off the head of the sand boa. Seeing Bell¡¯s proficiency, the audience swallowed. ¡°Why do I feel like the hardcore eating show is going to appear again?¡± Chapter 56 - Eating the Sand Boa Bell looked at the screen and said. ¡°When I was commentating before, I remember telling everyone that the blood of snake creatures can¡¯t be eaten directly.¡± ¡°But the situation now is special. To be honest, I really feel like I¡¯m dying of thirst. Although the parasites are difficult to deal with, at least it won¡¯t kill me for now. Dehydration can really kill me.¡± ¡°So we have no other choice.¡± Bell bit the sand boa¡¯s neck and sucked its blood. Although the sand boa did not have much blood, it could barely quench his thirst. Wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth, Bell heaved a sigh of relief. ¡°It doesn¡¯t taste good. It¡¯s all fishy, but it can relieve the thirst.¡± ¡°If you are out in the wild, remember not to despise any food.¡± ¡°Seize every opportunity to replenish nutrients. Only then can you have the greatest chance of survival.¡± ¡°I was dizzy from hunger. Fortunately, this sand boa appeared in time.¡± The audience looked at the blood at the corner of Bell¡¯s mouth and couldn¡¯t help but tremble. At the same time, they could feel Bell¡¯s hunger through the screen. While the audience was in a daze, Bell had already skinned the sand boa. Even its internal organs were dealt with. Unlike other animals, the flesh of the sand boa was snow white. It was closer to fish meat. Bell directly bit down. ¡°This boa is not poisonous. After removing its internal organs, all the parts can be eaten.¡± The sand boa was not big, and Bell quickly finished it. The thick snake smell filled Bell¡¯s mouth. The audience was stunned when they saw Bell¡¯s actions. He ate a snake raw in front of everyone. Good lord, sashimi could be so thrilling? ¡°F*ck, although the host is young, isn¡¯t this too cruel?¡± ¡°Brothers, I can¡¯t take it anymore. I¡¯ll vomit for a while.¡± ¡°I was smart enough to bring the trash can.¡± After eating the entire sand boa, Bell felt much better. At the same time, the sun in the desert gradually rose. Many of the audience who had just woken up entered the live-stream. At this moment, Bell¡¯s fans had already reached six million. In just a day, he had gained 1 million followers. Hanks, who had signed the contract with Bell, was also paying attention to the popularity of Bell¡¯s show. After seeing Bell¡¯s terrifying ability to attract fans, he couldn¡¯t help but be shocked. ¡°Oh my god, the growth rate of his fans is too terrifying.¡± Hanks couldn¡¯t believe it. He had never seen anyone increase their fans so quickly. 1 million a day. At this rate, he would reach 10 million fans in a month even if there was some buffer time. Hanks suddenly felt that they had profited greatly from the seemingly bad contract. With Bell¡¯s ability to attract fans, he would be no different from a money tree in the future. Hanks decided to quickly visit Bell after the show was over to get to know him. Scarlett saw Bell¡¯s actions and couldn¡¯t help but feel sorry for him. ¡°Can¡¯t this production team choose something easy?¡± Scarlett Johansson was filled with resentment towards the production team of Wilderness Survival. The beautiful host, Bear, Ed, and Li Ziqi also swallowed secretly when they saw Bell¡¯s wild nature. Bear and Ed took it more easily. The two of them looked at Bell on the screen with admiration. ¡°What an outstanding young man. I have to get to know him if I have the chance.¡± Bear couldn¡¯t help but clap. Ed rubbed his chin. ¡°Maybe we have a lot of common interests.¡± Li Ziqi looked at Bell on the screen and could not help but sweat. ¡°When Bell comes back, we have to take him for a proper examination. This snake has parasites.¡± Li Ziqi already treated Bell like her younger brother. The beautiful host also reacted. ¡°It seems like our dark horse contestant¡¯s crisis has been resolved.¡± ¡°Although it¡¯s a little scary to eat snake meat, Bell is indeed the best among the contestants.¡± The beautiful host said as she changed the screen. A contestant was wandering casually in the desert with no plan or food. ¡°Our contestant number 2, David, seems to be unable to hold on anymore.¡± ¡°He seemed to have seen other creatures before, but he gave up. I wonder how long he can last.¡± There was no harm if there was no comparison. When compared to Bell, the other contestants¡¯ tragic looks instantly became more apparent. Thump. Just as the beautiful host finished speaking, contestant 2 fell to the ground. The audience was shocked. ¡°Oh no, the contestant fainted.¡± The host was not particularly alarmed. ¡°Everyone, don¡¯t worry. Although he fainted in this desert, his location is being tracked. It¡¯s not as dangerous as you think. Unfortunately, being unconscious in this environment means that he has already lost the qualification to participate.¡± The audience heaved a sigh of relief. But it also made them realize the danger of this desert. Seeing that Bell was persisting so easily, some of Bell¡¯s fans thought that this desert was not that difficult to survive in. However, it had only been a day and night since the show began, and many contestants were already showing signs of failing. Under normal circumstances, the human body could last for three days without food or water. However, in such a harsh environment, this period of time was greatly reduced. The host turned the camera to Bell again. On the screen, Bell was walking in the desert while explaining something to the audience. Because it was the morning, the audience was still increasing. ¡°Host, your number of fans has reached seven million. How about distributing some benefits?¡± ¡°Previous poster, what do you think about raw snake meat?¡± ¡°Paired with distilled water.¡± Chapter 57 - Heatstroke Bell had finished eating a sand boa and recovered a lot. At the same time, as time passed, the audience in the live-stream increased. Bell answered the audience¡¯s questions as he walked. ¡°Host, I heard that as long as you follow the footsteps of animals, you can find water. Is that true?¡± Seeing this comment, Bell smiled. There were rarely genuine questions in the comments, so Bell naturally answered them generously. ¡°Actually, this is not completely wrong, but there is a flaw.¡± ¡°Most animals in the desert can do this, but camels are an exception.¡± ¡°The reason is that a camel is a creature with a different structure than other animals. A camel has three stomach chambers and can store a lot of food and water.¡± ¡°Therefore, in a place like the desert, camels can still move very widely.¡± ¡°If you see a camel in the desert and want to find a water source with it, I suggest you give up early.¡± ¡°Because in the end, you might die from dehydration.¡± Everyone was enlightened. ¡°I see. As expected of Bell, he can answer all the questions.¡± ¡°This knowledge reserve is too shocking. Is Bell really only eight years old?¡± Time passed slowly. The sun was already halfway to the peak. Everywhere he looked was like yesterday. Because of the high heat, the air began to distort. Feeling the temperature increase again, Bell heaved a sigh of relief. ¡°A day has passed.¡± ¡°I remember telling everyone in the program before that in the wild, besides food and water, there is another thing that is especially important. That is to maintain a good mentality.¡± ¡°In such a desert environment where there is no end in sight, it¡¯s easy to feel despair.¡± ¡°Actually, I heard of a news article before.¡± ¡°A backpacker once went to the desert area to travel and accidentally got lost in the desert. He overcame many difficulties in the desert and walked for a day and night.¡± ¡°However, he still died in the end.¡± ¡°He did not lack food and water.¡± ¡°But the important thing is that when the rescue team retrieved the backpacker¡¯s corpse, he was actually less than three kilometers away from walking out of the desert.¡± ¡°If he had persisted a little longer, he might have been able to walk out of the desert, but unfortunately, a day and night had tortured his spirit to the limits, causing him to give up on survival.¡± Hearing Bell¡¯s words, many of the audience fell silent. Walking on the sandy ground, Bell wiped the sweat from his forehead. He was also thinking to himself. ¡®From yesterday to now, I should have walked at least 50 kilometers.¡¯ ¡®This is the hinterland. It should be about 200 kilometers from the road.¡¯ ¡®It¡¯s not clear how far I am from that oasis in the desert.¡¯ ¡®But if nothing goes wrong, I should be able to reach it tomorrow at this time.¡¯ As long as he could reach the oasis safely, the rest would be much simpler. With his abilities, Bell believed that food and water resources would not be his problem. Of course, the time Bell had set for himself was far longer than tomorrow. After all, once a person had a goal, if their expectations were not met, it could easily cause severe disappointment. Time passed slowly, and the sun had already moved to the center. The desert at noon was like a huge oven. Whether it was the sky or the ground, they both emitted a very hot air. Bell felt thirsty again. After walking for a while, he felt that it was too hot. He found a place to avoid the direct light and tested the temperature of the sand. After feeling that it was about time, Bell dug a pit. ¡°The sand here is not as hot as other places. We can take the opportunity to rest.¡± ¡°Moreover, because the bottom of the sand is cooler, we can let the sand absorb the heat of the human body. This can also maintain our body temperature.¡± ¡°To be honest, I¡¯m already feeling a little dizzy.¡± ¡°I believe everyone who has experienced summer will understand that this is a sign of getting a heat stroke.¡± ¡°In other places, heatstroke might not be a big problem, but here, it¡¯s completely different.¡± ¡°Once we fall unconscious here, it is the same as declaring our deaths, so this cannot happen.¡± ¡°We need to rest for a while. It won¡¯t take long. We just need to let the sand below absorb some of the heat from our bodies to maintain our body temperature before moving forward.¡± Bell stopped moving. Although Bell had said it very easily, if he had dared to delay for a while longer, he might have had a heat stroke and would have been in huge trouble. The audience understood Bell¡¯s situation and did not criticize him. Instead, they kept comforting Bell. ¡°Host, you have worked hard. Hurry and rest. Don¡¯t force yourself.¡± ¡°That¡¯s right, host, you¡¯re already very awesome. Many of the other contestants have already been eliminated.¡± Bell smiled. He did not force himself and prepared to rest for a while. Although he was in the desert, exhaustion still surged after he lay down. When he woke up again, it was almost 5 pm. The discomfort he felt earlier had completely dissipated. Bell stood up and stopped wasting time. ¡°Alright, sorry to have kept you waiting.¡± ¡°I feel like my mental state has completely recovered.¡± ¡°I have to say, lying on the cool sand is a good idea.¡± ¡°The hottest period of the day has passed. We have to continue.¡± ¡°We have to hurry. Actually, I think I am adapting to this environment.¡± ¡°This means that we have passed the most difficult time.¡± ¡°It¡¯s time to hurry.¡± With that, Bell packed his things. He continued to rush in the direction he had set. Chapter 58 - Camel in Quicksand After adjusting his mental state, Bell continued forward. He did not forget to interact with the audience. ¡°In fact, the most difficult time in such a desolate environment is usually the first day or the second.¡± ¡°Of course, this is considering that you are able to maintain a positive mentality.¡± ¡°As you go further and further, plants and water sources will slowly start to appear.¡± ¡°It becomes much easier.¡± ¡°Of course, if you¡¯re lucky, you will find it much easier.¡± ¡°Sometimes, I feel that Wilderness Survival is like a treasure hunt.¡± ¡°In the 19th century, there was a British explorer named Ramos.¡± ¡°His life experiences were very interesting.¡± ¡°Many people even called him a man favored by the Goddess of Luck.¡± ¡°I think Ramos¡¯ most interesting adventure was when he was in the Sahara Desert.¡± ¡°His water was already used up, and he even encountered a sandstorm.¡± ¡°Under normal circumstances, these would be signs of disaster.¡± ¡°But Ramos was different from ordinary people. After this sandstorm, not only was he not dead, but when he woke up, he found an oasis and a treasure.¡± ¡°Rumor has it that the treasure was estimated to be worth nearly 90 million pounds.¡± ¡°Getting rich overnight really does exist.¡± Bell couldn¡¯t help but sigh. ¡°If you¡¯re interested, you can check it out.¡± ¡°Of course, I don¡¯t dare to think about becoming rich overnight, but if an oasis appears in front of me, I will feel satisfied.¡± However, everyone became lively when they heard Bell. ¡°Oh my god, there¡¯s actually such a thing?¡± ¡°I won¡¯t speak further. Goodbye, everyone. Let¡¯s meet in the desert.¡± ¡°Previous poster, I provide rescue services here. It only costs 100,000 USD to rescue you every time. Do you want to leave a phone number?¡± ¡°Haha, LMAO. Not only is he going to fail in the treasure hunt, he is even contributing to others.¡± ¡°Pull up per capita GDP.¡± Looking at the strange comments on the screen, Bell shook his head helplessly. ¡°Alright, everyone. Although I know that you¡¯re joking, I still advise you to be rational. This kind of situation is almost impossible to encounter.¡± ¡°Most of the survivalists in the desert have a very difficult time walking out of the desert, so it¡¯s best not to depend on luck. After all, life is priceless.¡± ¡°Of course, if you want to try, my last suggestion is to watch my live broadcast. You can give me more hearts. After all, you might not have a chance in the future.¡± Bell¡¯s words made the audience laugh. ¡°F*ck, the host is too cunning. We treated you as a brother, but you actually want to take our money.¡± Everyone immediately joked. Being able to converse with people in such an environment was also a good way to ease the minds. Time passed slowly, and soon, the sun began to set. It was almost evening. Some night creatures moved again. Bell walked aimlessly while constantly looking around for food. After all, it had been a day since he ate. He suddenly stopped. ¡°Everyone, look over there.¡± Everyone followed Bell¡¯s gaze. A camel was squatting quietly in the hollow between the two sand dunes. ¡°A camel! The host is in for a treat this time.¡± ¡°F*ck, previous poster, are you crazy? Have you watched too many food programs? Why do you want to eat everything now?¡± Bell ignored the teasing comments. He explained. ¡°I think it¡¯s not right for this camel to appear here. After all, there are no water sources or oases here.¡± ¡°Look carefully at this camel. It seems to be half-squatting there.¡± ¡°I¡¯m guessing he fell into the quicksand.¡± ¡°We have to be careful. It¡¯s almost certain death to fall into quicksand in such a place.¡± The audience couldn¡¯t help but be more attentive. ¡°Host, I heard that the feet of camels are very loose. They won¡¯t sink into the quicksand.¡± Bell saw this comment. ¡°Everyone, I have to warn you. Many people say that camels don¡¯t fall into quicksand. In fact, this is completely wrong.¡± ¡°Their feet are very thick, and they are indeed suitable to walk on the sand.¡± ¡°But once they encounter the quicksand terrain, the camel will still fall into it. It¡¯s just that because its body is relatively large, it can slow down the speed of sinking and not be completely swallowed.¡± ¡°But without external help, it will still die.¡± ¡°It cannot break free of the quicksand by relying on its own strength.¡± As he spoke, Bell carefully approached the camel. Bell took every step carefully. ¡°The terrain of quicksand and mire are very different.¡± ¡°On the surface, it looks like calm sand, but there are dark currents below.¡± ¡°There is constantly moving sand below the sand, and because the density of the sand is much higher than soil, it¡¯s impossible to pull a creature like a camel out by human strength.¡± ¡°Someone has done an experiment. It takes at least 100,000 newton force to pull a person out of the quicksand.¡± ¡°Maybe you won¡¯t understand if I say that.¡± ¡°In simpler words, if an adult falls into a quicksand, he or she will need a medium-sized car to pull them out.¡± Everyone understood after hearing Bell¡¯s explanation. They couldn¡¯t help but gasp. No one had expected that it would be so difficult to escape if they fell into the quicksand. ¡°Of course, if you really encounter such a situation, there is a way.¡± ¡°If it were just quicksand, I would have the confidence to break the camel free within three hours, but with the heat of the sand, these three hours can completely dry you out.¡± The audience finally reacted. This desert was really filled with danger. While speaking, Bell had already walked toward the camel. The camel that had fallen into the quicksand was not struggling as expected. Instead, it looked calmly at Bell as if it was waiting for something. Chapter 59 - Dying Camel, Camel Hump Seeing Bell approach, the camel did not react as violently as expected. Instead, it snorted calmly and did not do anything else. Bell stopped and opened its mouth. At the same time, he did not forget to explain to the audience what he was doing. ¡°We can observe this camel¡¯s age through its teeth.¡± ¡°It¡¯s not just camels. You can also observe the age of cows and horses through this method.¡± ¡°The teeth of large creatures like camels and horses will stop growing after reaching a certain age.¡± ¡°Everyone, take a look at this camel. This camel¡¯s teeth are tightly lined, and its teeth have been grinded to a certain extent. You can even see its gums clearly.¡± ¡°This means that this camel is not young anymore.¡± ¡°A conservative estimate is that he¡¯s already over 25 years old.¡± ¡°Because the teeth are worn out too severely, it can¡¯t eat normally.¡± ¡°And being unable to eat in this environment means that his life has reached its end.¡± Bell let go and gently stroked the camel. ¡°Wild camels have a habit. When they can¡¯t eat and feel that they are about to die, they will leave the oasis they once lived in and go to the desert alone to wait for death.¡± The audience couldn¡¯t help but sigh. At the same time, they were touched. It was difficult to imagine that an animal could have such intelligence. Bell took out his dagger and slowly approached the camel. The camel seemed to understand its situation and did not resist too much. ¡°Is the host going to kill this camel? Why don¡¯t we forget it? He¡¯s already so pitiful.¡± ¡°I can¡¯t bear to see this.¡± Of course, some had already started criticizing Bell. ¡°Previous poster, are you an idiot? Host, ignore him.¡± ¡°A living Bodhisattva has appeared. The camel is pitiful, but the host is not? If he doesn¡¯t eat now, the host will starve to death!¡± ¡°He already said that this camel is going to die. Even if the host doesn¡¯t eat it, it will rot here.¡± ¡°Why can¡¯t it save another life before it dies?¡± ¡°You goody two shoes, get lost from the live-stream. Don¡¯t be an eyesore here.¡± ¡°This is Wilderness Survival. Do you think this is a game or a variety show?¡± Many people were speechless. Seeing that the live-stream was about to descend into an argument, Bell quickly spoke. ¡°Everyone, stop arguing. Everyone has their own thoughts. Let¡¯s try to understand each other.¡± ¡°It¡¯s not wrong to treasure life, but this is Wilderness Survival after all. If you have this mentality, you might not even be able to survive for a day.¡± ¡°In fact, in this camel¡¯s current state, it can no longer eat. It¡¯s even a problem for it to move.¡± ¡°Even if I didn¡¯t find it today, this camel would have died by tomorrow and in a very painful way.¡± The camel seemed to understand Bell¡¯s words. It lowered its head docilely, as if offering its life to Bell. Bell reminded the audience. ¡°Alright, the next scene might be a little bloody. Minors are prohibited from watching.¡± With that, Bell no longer hesitated. The dagger in his hand pierced through the camel¡¯s throat like a black light. As the trachea was cut through the camel¡¯s throat, its eyes gradually lost their luster. The camel that was already on the brink of death finally finished its last journey. Bell did not waste the blood that gushed out of the trachea. After all, he was already very thirsty. Bell moved closer and drank the camel¡¯s blood. The blood that was sprayed out was still warm and had a hint of saltiness. As Bell continued to suck, the blood spraying from the wound decreased. Bell stopped. Wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth, Bell heaved a sigh of relief. ¡°To be honest, this tastes really bad. If it weren¡¯t for the sake of survival, I might never drink this thing.¡± ¡°But this situation is an exception. The camel¡¯s blood contains rich minerals and some salt.¡± ¡°In this desert environment, the corpses of animals usually don¡¯t rot normally, because even bacteria need water to reproduce.¡± ¡°But in such an environment, the corpse will dry very fast.¡± ¡°We need to replenish some proteins before this camel is completely dried.¡± With that, Bell scanned the camel¡¯s corpse. In the end, he felt that the hump should be a good choice. Rumor had it that Camel hump, bear paws, monkey head, and deer tail were top-notch ingredients. He would have a chance to taste it today. ¡°I heard that you have to cook to eat camels, but today, we are going to taste camel sashimi.¡± Bell stopped hesitating and cut the hump. The dagger quickly cut open the outer layer of the camel¡¯s back. It revealed the snow-white fat inside. Bell cut off a piece and ate it. However, the next second, his expression changed completely. Before he could swallow the fat, he vomited. This was not the end. He was vomiting with bloodshot eyes. It took a while for him to get better. Bell heaved a sigh of relief and said. ¡°To be honest, I¡¯ve never eaten anything so bad.¡± ¡°It feels like I¡¯ve eaten an entire bar of soap.¡± ¡°That greasy feeling is not something you can get used to.¡± ¡°Maybe some people will like this feeling, but I really can¡¯t stand it.¡± Taking a deep breath, Bell gave up tasting the food. Seeing Bell¡¯s troubled expression, the comments on the screen exploded. ¡°Good lord, even Bell can¡¯t accept it. How bad is this hump meat?¡± Some curious audience members were even curious. After tasting the hump meat and knowing that he could not enjoy this delicacy, Bell chose to give up. He cut a piece of raw meat from the camel¡¯s leg and wolfed it down. Chapter 60 - Discovering the Oasis Although the taste of the raw camel meat was not good, it was fortunately acceptable. After eating the entire camel leg, Bell felt the hunger in his stomach subside. He sat comfortably on the ground. ¡°This camel is not small. It should be able to provide us with enough food to last a while. Moreover, the other things on the camel¡¯s body are also very precious. For example, this camel¡¯s fur.¡± ¡°In this climate, this thing will be of great help to us.¡± ¡°If we cut it properly, we can use it as a carpet. This way, even if there is no shelter, we don¡¯t have to worry about catching a cold.¡± With that, Bell began to skin the camel. Although the camel¡¯s fur was not very tough, it was too closely connected to the flesh, so it was not easy to peel. Bell tried to peel it the way a sheep was skinned. The effect was not bad. Half an hour passed when he finished separating the flesh and the skin of the entire camel. He placed the camel skin on the hot sand. The hot sand only took a moment to completely dry the camel¡¯s skin, and the water in it completely evaporated. Then, Bell used the dagger to cut the camel¡¯s meat and stored all the edible parts in his backpack. After doing all this, Bell heaved a sigh of relief. ¡°To be honest, I should thank this camel. Although it is dead, it has indeed provided me with enough nutrients.¡± ¡°With this meat, at least we don¡¯t have to worry about food today.¡± With that, Bell looked at the camel¡¯s corpse. In the end, he decided to bury it in the sand. ¡°This might waste some of our energy, but it can be the last form of respect.¡± In the broadcast room, the beautiful host was also watching Bell¡¯s actions. Seeing that Bell did not forget to bury the camel after eating it, she couldn¡¯t help but nod and praise Bell for being kind. ¡°Our contestant is still young. It¡¯s rare to maintain such a kind heart.¡± ¡°It doesn¡¯t violate the purpose of survival in the wilderness, and also is not cruel.¡± ¡°Indeed, even I would not give up on such a camel. However, I might not think of burying it.¡± Ed and Bear commented as they watched Bell¡¯s actions on the screen. Li Ziqi¡¯s heart ached for Bell. ¡®How can this guy eat everything randomly?¡¯ ¡®Fortunately, it¡¯s just some hump meat this time. What if it¡¯s poisonous next time?¡¯ Li Ziqi complained inwardly. There were others who were also paying attention to Bell. For example, Scarlett Johansson. Compared to Li Ziqi¡¯s heartache, Scarlett Johansson found Bell¡¯s actions interesting. He even looked manly. ¡°It¡¯s good to eat more to nourish yourself. Grow up quickly.¡± Recalling Bell¡¯s disheveled appearance, Scarlett couldn¡¯t help but laugh. In the office of a skyscraper, Hanks looked at the live broadcast of Bell on his computer screen and couldn¡¯t help but secretly gulp his saliva. ¡°No wonder this guy can increase his fans so quickly. The effe00ct of this program is indeed extraordinary.¡± Because he had signed the contract with Bell, Hanks paid special attention to Bell. After all, this also involved his future. Hanks thought that if Bell wanted to increase the number of fans to the required number, it would take at least two months or even three months if he encountered some difficulties. By then, the company and he could use the opportunity to adjust the contract. According to the bet, the points of profit distribution would be lowered by a level. However, from the looks of it, this three-month contract would probably upgrade again after three months and become the top contract on the platform. Thinking of that scene, Hanks couldn¡¯t help but swallow. ¡°Oh my god, no, I have to tell the boss about this.¡± With this in mind, Hanks couldn¡¯t care less. He quickly walked to the leader¡¯s office. As the live broadcast became longer, Bell¡¯s reputation increased. The number of fans began to increase. From the initial five million to six million and six and a half million, it had reached seven million. Knowing the thoughts of the audience, the broadcast room would broadcast some scenes of Bell¡¯s survival from time to time, drawing more attention to him. Some manufacturers also paid attention to Bell. Bell was still walking in the desert. The noon sun seemed to have become even more sinister. Although he had already eaten some food, his stamina was exhausted quickly under the sunlight. Bell had not rested since last night. He had been traveling the entire time. Fortunately, he was lucky to have encountered this camel. But Bell also knew that he could not encounter such a good thing again. Hunger surged again. ¡°The sunlight now is too intense. Under normal circumstances, I would have chosen to avoid it.¡± ¡°But from what I know, there should be an oasis not far from us.¡± ¡°We can find water and food there. There¡¯s nothing we can do about it. Let¡¯s hurry up.¡± ¡°We don¡¯t have water resources now, we can¡¯t stay here easily.¡± ¡°If you dare to stop, the end result will be death.¡± Gritting his teeth, Bell continued moving. The poisonous sunlight was making him dizzy. He was enduring solely by his willpower. Seeing how Bell was swaying, even the audience couldn¡¯t help but worry for him. They were afraid that Bell would collapse. Just as Bell was about to reach his limit, an oasis appeared not far away. There was a clear lake in the middle of the oasis, and dense plants were around it. There were even some animals drinking water around the lake. It was like a dream in the desert that was covered in yellow sand. After confirming that it was not an illusion, Bell ran crazily towards the water. He dove in the lake without caring about anything else. His body temperature quickly fell. Bell popped his head out of the water and said happily. ¡°You can never imagine how it feels to find an oasis in such a situation.¡± ¡°I feel much happier than winning a lottery.¡± Seeing that Bell had discovered the oasis, the audience seemed to have discovered a new land and became restless. ¡°The host is awesome!¡± ¡°Amazing host!¡± Chapter 61 - Dark Shadow in the Water, the Siberian Salmon The audience was excited when they saw that Bell had really found the oasis, since they had seen how weak Bell looked. Bell soaked his entire body in the water. The thirst was eliminated, and his body quickly recovered. Just as Bell was about to greet the audience, he suddenly noticed a few discordant messages popping up on the screen. ¡°Bell, run! There¡¯s danger behind you!¡± ¡°There¡¯s something in the water! Come up quickly!¡± Seeing these two messages, Bell¡¯s pupils constricted. Bell couldn¡¯t care less and quickly rushed to the shore. Unknowingly, Bell looked behind him and saw a black shadow slowly approaching. Although he did not know what it was, judging from its two-meter-long body, it was probably not a herbivore. Bell did not dare to delay and quickly swam to the shore. Fortunately, Bell did not go too deep into the lake. It took him just a few seconds to reach the shore. But even so, Bell did not dare to stay on the shore anymore. He ran nearly ten meters away from the shore before stopping. When he turned around, he heard a thud. A creature suddenly jumped out of the water and quickly rushed ashore. It rushed for two to three meters before losing its strength. Then, it swam back into the water. Bell and the audience felt lingering fear. When this monster came out of the water, they saw its appearance clearly. It was a salmon with sharp teeth. Bell wiped his cold sweat. ¡°That was close!¡± Even Bell did not expect this. Moreover, because he was too excited, he was not that sensitive to danger. Thinking back, he realized what a fatal mistake he had made. ¡°Everyone, it was a close call.¡± ¡°I made a mistake earlier. Some predators usually reside in the water of this oasis.¡± ¡°The more dangerous a place is, the safer it looks. This is the unchanging truth of wilderness.¡± The audience also came to their senses. Thinking of the appearance of the ferocious beast, their hearts thumped. ¡°Host, what was that thing just now? It looked like a fish, but its teeth were too ferocious.¡± ¡°Is it a piranha?¡± Some of the audience were curious about the creature. Bell stood up. With water and food, Bell was no longer in a hurry. He looked at the comments and explained patiently. ¡°The creature that attacked us was a salmon.¡± ¡°To be precise, this guy is called a Siberian salmon, a freshwater carnivorous fish.¡± ¡°This fish is very large. Rumor has it that someone once found a four-meter-long Siberian salmon.¡± ¡°Even some large animals are their prey.¡± ¡°Moreover, although this salmon is a freshwater fish, its teeth are very sharp. The bite force it can produce is enough to tear off any part of your body in an instant.¡± ¡°Thinking about it now, it was really dangerous. If not for everyone reminding me, I might have really been in danger earlier.¡± ¡°I was lucky to escape. How about subscribing and sending likes to reduce my fear?¡± Everyone was still immersed in the danger just now. Hearing Bell¡¯s words, the audience immediately reacted. No one had expected Bell to have such a strong mentality. He had just experienced such a dangerous thing and was in the mood to joke now. The atmosphere in the live-stream became lively again. ¡°F*ck, the host¡¯s mentality is really strong. He almost died just now.¡± ¡°Haha, I like the host¡¯s style. He¡¯s not like other streamers who scream and shout when they encounter danger. Everyone, send gifts to the host!¡± ¡°Bell¡¯s fan club leader gifts x1000 hearts.¡± The live-stream became lively again. In the broadcast room, the host and guests saw the dangerous scene that Bell had just experienced. Regarding Bell¡¯s encounter, the host and Li Ziqi patted their chests. When the salmon came out, they were given a fright even through the screen. The two of them couldn¡¯t help but worry for Bell. ¡°Such a large salmon is rare. I don¡¯t know whether to say contestant Bell is lucky or unlucky.¡± ¡°I heard that the meat of the Siberian salmon is very delicious. I wonder if contestant Bell will choose to capture it.¡± Bear and Ed, who were survival specialists, quickly composed themselves. They stopped thinking about the previous danger and focused on whether Bell would capture this Siberian salmon. Hearing their conversation, the audience couldn¡¯t help but be speechless. ¡°Do all survival specialists have such a strong mentality?¡± Many of the audience members complained in their hearts. At the same time, Bell looked around after escaping from danger. In the end, his gaze was locked on the pool. ¡°Everyone, under normal circumstances, there should not be a Siberian salmon in the desert.¡± ¡°But it has indeed appeared. This means that there is an underground river below this lake. This salmon swam over from another place.¡± ¡°This has nothing to do with us, but there is a problem now. We want this pool, so the problem now is to get rid of this salmon first.¡± ¡°Moreover, as far as I know, the meat of the Siberian salmon is very delicious. We have no reason to refuse such a delicacy.¡± Ed and Bear were all excited to hear Bell¡¯s words. ¡°Haha, I knew that this kid would not miss such a good thing!¡± ¡°That¡¯s right, this is a qualified survivalist!¡± Seeing that Bell¡¯s choice seemed to have a certain resonance with them, the two of them became inexplicably excited. The beautiful host and Li Ziqi looked at Ed and Bear strangely. Perhaps this was the reason why they were not wilderness survival specialists. While everyone was excited, Bell had already begun to plan. ¡°This type of Siberian salmon is a carnivorous fish. Its diet is very rich, but most of them are still fish in the water.¡± ¡°But with this big guy in the pond, we definitely can¡¯t get fish, but we can also find some snakes, rats, and birds as bait.¡± ¡°Let¡¯s try our luck now.¡± With that, Bell got up and walked deeper into the oasis to find something that could be used as bait. His actions also aroused the curiosity of the people in the broadcast room. Bell¡¯s live broadcast was constantly playing on the screen. With the broadcast room focusing on him, the popularity of Bell¡¯s live-stream increased. Chapter 62 - Fishing in the Wilderness As time passed, Bell finally increased his fan base to seven million. Seeing the growth rate of this fan, Hanks was shocked speechless. ¡°This¡­ this is simply a miracle!¡± He had never seen a host with such terrifying fan growth. Beside him was one of the leaders who had given him the order. After seeing the growth rate of Bell¡¯s fans, this leader was also very surprised. However, when he realized that Hanks was looking at him, the leader immediately put on an unfathomable expression. ¡°Leader, did you know about Bell¡¯s potential? Is that why you gave such an exclusive contract?¡± ¡°Yes, naturally. I saw Bell¡¯s potential at a glance. Of course, we have to show enough sincerity to tie him to our platform.¡± Hearing Hanks¡¯s question, the middle-aged leader felt that it was time to posture. Hanks did not disappoint him either. After hearing that his leader had already expected Bell¡¯s situation, his eyes revealed admiration. This gaze was quite lethal to a middle-aged man. Instantly, the middle-aged leader felt smug. However, Hanks¡¯ next words troubled him. ¡°Leader, although we have signed a contract with Bell, this contract is actually not very binding. The duration is only three months, and there are some limitations.¡± ¡°If Bell continues to develop like this, there will be others who will look for him soon. At that time, the other companies will give even better conditions. What will we do then?¡± The middle-aged leader¡¯s expression froze. He had not thought of this question before. None of them had expected Bell¡¯s fame to increase so quickly. But now, this matter was imminent. The man rubbed his chin. ¡°Let¡¯s talk to Bell after this live broadcast. We will give him the best conditions and satisfy his requirements. Our only request will be exclusive broadcasting.¡± ¡°Ah? Then, leader, about the cost¡­?¡± ¡°No need to consider. That is the only request I have, we have to keep him here no matter what.¡± Hanks swallowed his saliva in shock. Good lord, his leader was really investing a lot this time. ¡°Alright, I understand. I will pay close attention to Bell.¡± Hanks made up his mind. No matter what, he could not let Bell be taken away from him, no matter the cost. No one could snatch Bell from him, not even his father. With Bell by his side, he would not have to worry about his work for the remainder of his life. While the two of them were discussing, Bell had walked out of the depths of the oasis with a few rats that he had found somewhere. ¡°Our luck today is indeed good. We have found a suitable bait in such a short time.¡± ¡°Whether we can get the big guy in the water will depend on these rats.¡± With that, Bell carefully placed the rats in his backpack. After doing all that, Bell took out his camel skin. Then, with a few slashes with the dagger, long strips of camel skin appeared before everyone. After soaking the camel skin in the water and drying them, they were ductile again. Bell twisted a few of the skin together. ¡°A single strip of camel skin is not enough to fish out this two-meter-long Siberian salmon.¡± ¡°Moreover, we don¡¯t have many chances, there we can¡¯t be any accidents. We have to try to succeed in the first try.¡± Bell added another strip. After ensuring that it was tough enough, he nodded in satisfaction. ¡°This is good enough.¡± ¡°However, there is one thing missing. It¡¯s the hook.¡± ¡°Of course, we don¡¯t have a fish hook, but we can replace it with something.¡± ¡°There are iron wires support in the backpack that can be used.¡± With that, Bell spent some time and pulled out the iron wires at the bottom of the backpack. After a while, a simple hook was made. ¡°This is a simple method. When you don¡¯t have fish hooks, you can see if you have any accessories like iron rings. These can all be used as fish hooks. Although the effect might not be as obvious as real fish hooks, they can still work.¡± While speaking, Bell polished the simple hook to ensure that the hook could grab the fish¡¯s flesh more easily and not cut out. Then, Bell tied the other end of the rope to the poplar tree not far from the pool. He took out a rat from his backpack. After tying it up, Bell threw the rat into the pool. ¡°Everyone, don¡¯t worry. Wild rats can swim. I have already placed the hook in the rat¡¯s body. As long as this Siberian salmon eats the rat, we have a high chance of success.¡± ¡°Moreover, there¡¯s no reason a Siberian salmon would refuse rats in this area that lacks food.¡± Just as Bell had expected, after the rat fell into the water, it kept moving due to the pain of the hook in its body, causing ripples in the water. As the rat approached the center of the lake, a black shadow gradually appeared. The Siberian salmon did not immediately eat the rat, but lingered for a while. After a long time, it jumped out of the water and swallowed the rat and the fish hook. Seeing the Siberian salmon take the bait, Bell¡¯s eyes lit up and he quickly pulled the rope. With a pull, the hook was deeply embedded in the Siberian salmon¡¯s flesh. The Siberian salmon struggled powerfully due to the pain. Even the thick poplar tree shook. Bell estimated that if he were to just use his own strength to pull it, he might be directly pulled into the water. He did not dare to delay. He quickly tried to exhaust the stamina of this salmon with the help of the poplar tree. However, the strength of this salmon was far beyond Bell¡¯s imagination. Although the rope had been reinforced, under the struggles of the salmon, the rope still showed signs of breaking. Bell hurried forward. ¡°Not good!¡± He could not let this guy escape now that it was almost captured. He grabbed the part where the rope was breaking. He was going to personally contest with the Siberian salmon. However, the next second. Snap! The rope made of camel skin suddenly broke. Bell was also dragged into the water. Chapter 63 - Fighting in the Water The Siberian salmon suddenly broke free. The sudden situation shocked all the viewers. What surprised them even more was that even though the rope broke, Bell had no intention of letting go. The Siberian salmon moved very fast. In a panic, Bell was pulled into the water along with the rope. Bell was also surprised. Seeing the Siberian salmon swim further and further away, Bell gritted his teeth. ¡°No, I can¡¯t let it go like this.¡± Bell made a decision. Thump! Before anyone could react, Bell chased after the Siberian salmon. He was not as agile in water. But this Siberian salmon had exhausted a lot of energy, and was not too fast. After a while, Bell caught up to the Siberian salmon. He took out the dagger and stabbed it into the head. Blood flowed out. After struggling for a while, the Siberian salmon lost its strength. After a while, Bell came out of the water. In his arms was the corpse of the freshly killed Siberian salmon. The audience gasped when they saw the scene on the screen. They had been given a fright when Bell was dragged into the water. After all, everyone had seen the strength of this Siberian salmon. Even the thick poplar tree shook from its pull. With Bell¡¯s small body, he would probably be a food for the fish. Many of Bell¡¯s fans even called the production team to send help. But before the production team could react, a trace of blood appeared on the water, and then Bell floated out. ¡°Heavens, the host really killed this Siberian salmon!¡± ¡°This Siberian salmon is at least two meters long.¡± ¡°It is taller than Bell!¡± Everyone sighed in surprise. If not for the live broadcast, no one would believe this. Dragging the corpse of the Siberian salmon, Bell walked ashore. Bell felt his vision turning dark, and his chest felt like it was about to explode. If he had not killed the Salmon, it would be hard to say what would have happened to him later. After all, an intense battle in the water required a lot of oxygen, and Bell had already reached his limit. Snap! Back on the shore, Bell fell to the ground and panted heavily. Seeing that Bell had really succeeded, the audience in the live-stream erupted in excitement. ¡°F*ck! The host is awesome!¡± ¡°Bell¡¯s number one fan gifts Rocket x10.¡± ¡°The leader of Bell¡¯s fan club gifts Hot Air Balloon x50.¡± ¡°Wilderness Worker gifts Hearts x100.¡± ¡°The neighboring Little Man gifts Light Stick x100.¡± Immediately, a large number of gifts appeared on the screen. In just a while, Bell¡¯s fans increased by 500,000 again. In the broadcast room, the beautiful host was shocked. ¡°I¡­ I can¡¯t believe this is real.¡± ¡°Such a huge Siberian salmon, how did he do it?¡± ¡°I really don¡¯t dare to imagine what happened underwater.¡± Li Ziqi was also shocked. Ed and Bear¡¯s eyes lit up as they looked at the Siberian salmon on the shore. Bell finally adjusted his condition. Looking at the comments on the screen, Bell smiled. ¡°Thank you for the gifts, but you have to take note of this dangerous situation.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t attempt such actions rashly. The power of fish in the water is very high.¡± ¡°I was actually very lucky to be able to hunt this Siberian salmon.¡± Bell stood up and tried to hold the salmon up too. Bell was very tall compared to his peers, but he was only eight years old. He awkwardly realized that even if he held its head, he was still not tall enough to hold this Siberian salmon in an upright position. Helpless, Bell could only do a ridiculous thing. Bell placed the Siberian salmon on the ground and lay beside it. There was an obvious comparison. The audience was stunned when they saw Bell¡¯s actions. Then, they reacted. ¡°LMAO. Bell is not even as tall as this Siberian salmon.¡± ¡°Haha, we can see the comparison now. Host, hurry up and get up, I can¡¯t restrain my laughter anymore.¡± ¡°Can someone tell me how tall the host is?¡± ¡°Host, what color of sack do you like? Sister will kidnap you.¡± Seeing Bell¡¯s cute side, some fans couldn¡¯t help but joke. Bell scratched his head awkwardly. ¡°There¡¯s nothing I can do about it. I really can¡¯t hold this Siberian salmon in an upright position, but through the comparison, I believe everyone has a certain understanding of the size of this Siberian salmon.¡± ¡°Although this Siberian salmon is very ferocious in the water, it is now my food.¡± Bell was a little satisfied. Seeing Bell¡¯s expression, the audience also responded. ¡°Yeah, yeah, yeah. Bell is the best.¡± ¡°The man at the peak of the food chain!¡± Bell stopped wasting time. Unlike in the desert, this oasis had high moisture. Coupled with the suitable temperature, the meat would quickly deteriorate after the creature died, so he had to process it as soon as possible. Bell got up and looked for some branches before starting a fire. Because it was in the desert, some dry materials were not difficult to find. Bell quickly started the fire. ¡°To be honest, I don¡¯t really like fish, especially freshwater fish. Because they are usually spiny and take a lot of time to eat.¡± ¡°But Siberian salami is an exception.¡± ¡°Because this Siberian salmon is different from other freshwater fish. There are no thorns in its body like other freshwater fish, only a ridge and a large thorn in its chest, so it is very convenient to eat.¡± While speaking, Bell had already cut open the abdomen of the Siberian salmon and dug out the internal organs. He cut a piece of fish belly that had more fat and put it in his mouth. His eyes lit up. Because the Siberian salmon was a carnivore, it moved a lot and had firm flesh. It tasted very good. When he placed it in his mouth, Bell only felt a fresh sweetness. There was no fishy smell like he had imagined. ¡°The taste is really good. I believe most of you will like this delicacy.¡± Chapter 64 - Future Investment, Children Outdoor Equipment In the wilderness, Bell could not bear to waste such delicious food. He immediately began to prepare it. ¡°Although this Siberian salmon tastes good raw, we should not waste it. We have to smoke it to preserve it for a longer time.¡± The fire began to weaken. Some of the audience who had watched Bell¡¯s live broadcast had already guessed his plan. ¡°It was not easy to reach this point. In this desert round, I finally saw something that I can eat as well.¡± ¡°Previous poster, are you treating this as a food program?¡± Some of the audience teased. Bell did not pay attention to these comments. At this moment, he was explaining the preparation and things to pay attention to. ¡°I believe everyone knows why I am smoking the fish, so I won¡¯t go into detail.¡± ¡°The main reason is that smoked meat can be preserved for a longer time.¡± ¡°We just have to control the temperature properly, not put the fish over direct fire.¡± ¡°Then, I can use the leaves to seal the water in the fish so that it won¡¯t be too dry and hard to swallow.¡± ¡°Of course, this will shorten the shelf life of the food, but in our current situation, we will finish it before it can spoil, so we don¡¯t have to consider this problem.¡± Bell kept moving the smoked fish to ensure that the fish was getting the heat on all sides. At the same time, he did not forget to interact with the audience. ¡°Actually, this desert is also a challenge to me.¡± ¡°I believe everyone has seen the dangers in the desert over the past few days. A single mistake can result in death.¡± ¡°Although I know what the best decision is in this situation, I had to rely on some luck to find this oasis.¡± ¡°Therefore, I would like to remind everyone not to set foot in such a dangerous place unless necessary. As for having no choice but to set foot in it, I hope my live broadcast over these few days will be of help to everyone.¡± ¡°Now that we have found the oasis, water and food resources are no longer a problem. According to my calculations, this place should not be far from the desert border. It should be less than 40 kilometers away at most. We should be able to walk out within a day.¡± Hearing Bell say this, everyone sighed. This Wilderness Survival program was spectacular. It allowed everyone to see different environments and how to save themselves in dangerous situations. But now, it was going to end again. Many of Bell¡¯s fans were a little reluctant. At this moment, a comment suddenly attracted Bell¡¯s attention. ¡°Host, can you leave your contact details privately? We want to do a business collaboration.¡± Bell looked at the ID on the screen. It did not seem familiar and did not look special. It was a simple name, Lin Xiaoxiao. Moreover, as if to let Bell see her, this fan named Lin Xiaoxiao even gifted ten rockets to Bell (this was the platform¡¯s most expensive gift). ¡°F*ck, who is this tycoon?¡± The live-stream became lively again. Seeing that Lin Xiaoxiao did not seem to be joking, Bell thought for a while and made her a live-stream manager. Shanghai, in an office building, a woman who looked to be about twenty years old was delighted when she saw that she had been made the live-stream manager. ¡°Ah, Bell has turned me into his live stream manager!¡± In her excitement, the woman was at a loss. ¡°Hello, what¡¯s the matter?¡± A message popped up on the screen. Seeing that Bell had sent her a message, Lin Xiaoxiao quickly opened the reply. ¡°Hello, Bell, I¡¯m Xiaoxiao from Xiaoxiao Clothing Retail. I saw your live broadcast and think that your style and show are very compatible with our goods, so I wanted to ask you to endorse our products.¡± ¡°If you¡¯re interested, you can leave me a phone number. We can talk about it in detail after the program is over.¡± ¡°As for the endorsement fee, it¡¯s not a problem.¡± ¡°I can make the decision for it. If you¡¯re willing, the endorsement fee will not be less than five million.¡± Hearing this endorsement fee, even Bell was shocked. The other party was really generous. He had only been famous for a short while, but he was already receiving a five million endorsement fee. This was definitely a high price for his current fame. Bell was a little stunned and did not reply immediately. But when Lin Xiaoxiao saw that Bell did not reply, she thought that her endorsement fee was a little low. She thought for a moment and said again. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, this five million is just the fee. We can discuss the conversion ratio after the endorsement. If the sales can reach the ideal situation, we can also split the profits for a certain period of time.¡± Bell knew that the other party had misunderstood him. ¡°I¡¯m interested in this, but I have to finish the program first. As for the contact details, I¡¯ll send you my number later.¡± ¡°Alright, Mr. Bell, I¡¯ll wait for your good news.¡± Lin Xiaoxiao heaved a sigh of relief. She knew that the cooperation was completed. Her company mainly dealt with outdoor equipment. The other things were fine, but the outdoor equipment for children was difficult to make. However, the profits from this were huge. Lin Xiaoxiao had just taken over her company and wanted to start on this tough job. But she had no idea where to start until she saw Bell¡¯s live broadcast. Seeing the growth rate of Bell¡¯s fan base, Lin Xiaoxiao immediately made the decision to contact Bell for a collaboration. It could be said that the endorsement was only the first step. If everything went smoothly, she was even willing to develop another brand with Bell. She was not investing in the current Bell, but in the future Bell. Lin Xiaoxiao believed that her judgment was not wrong. This investment would definitely earn her huge profits. After talking to Lin Xiaoxiao, Bell looked at the fish. The fish was cooked now. Bell blew on it and ate a piece. The fish meat was not seasoned, but there was some garlicky fragrance, and it was slightly chewy. Bell¡¯s eyes lit up. ¡°It tastes quite good.¡± ¡°It might be related to the leaves, but there¡¯s also a slight fragrance in the fish meat.¡± ¡°I can finally have a good meal after so many days.¡± Bell ate heartily. Chapter 65 - Reaction From All Sides, Attention From the Platform After eating the smoked fish, Bell praised it in satisfaction. ¡°Not bad. This should be a very rare delicacy in the wild.¡± ¡°The leaves removed the fishy smell and the main thing is that the Siberian salmon is not spiny like other freshwater fish.¡± After filling his stomach, Bell sat in the shade and rested for a while. This was the best meal he ate in days. Hearing Bell¡¯s words, the audience recalled Bell¡¯s food for the past few days and couldn¡¯t help but feel their scalps tingle. Scorpions, beetles, raw snake meat. The camel meat was probably the only better one among them. After a short nap, Bell did not remain idle. This Siberian salmon was very large. Although its innards had been removed, Bell could not finish it in one meal. Although he had already found the oasis, it would take a day to escape from this desert, so this food could not be wasted. Bell put the remaining fish meat above the charcoal fire and smoked it. Only by drying the water inside could the food be preserved for a longer time. Time passed slowly. The sun gradually set. The fish meat in his hand had already been completely smoked. Resting in the oasis was different from resting in the desert. This time, Bell did not choose to travel at night. Instead, he took out the camel¡¯s fur blanket and lay down. He needed to sleep to refresh himself. He wanted to finish Wilderness Survival tomorrow. ¡°Everyone, I am going to rest now. Today¡¯s live broadcast is over. If you want to continue watching, you can click on the subscribe button.¡± ¡°I will complete this Wilderness Survival in the shortest time possible tomorrow. Everyone, please watch.¡± With that, Bell stopped talking and went to sleep. Aside from the crackling fire, the night was silent. In a building in a bustling city, Hanks heaved a sigh of relief when he saw Bell stop for the day. Behind him was the middle-aged man who he had called leader. At this moment, the number of fans in Bell¡¯s live-stream had reached 7.5 million. He believed that after Wilderness Survival tomorrow, Bell would definitely have another large number of fans. By then, 10 million fans would not be a distant goal. After all, the stipulated time was three months, but it had not even been half a month. ¡°It¡¯s really surprising. A child this age can actually increase the number of fans in such a short time.¡± The middle-aged leader sighed. ¡°From the looks of it, Bell¡¯s potential is far greater than this.¡± ¡°When he returns, contact him immediately to change the content of the contract.¡± ¡°We can¡¯t let such a talent escape.¡± Hanks quickly nodded. The middle-aged man looked at Hanks. ¡°Hanks, you¡¯ve been the editing director for a long time. This is a good opportunity. You have to grasp it.¡± The man did not say anything else and turned to leave Hanks¡¯ office. Hanks finally reacted after the man left and was overjoyed. ¡°This¡­ This means that he wants to leave Bell¡¯s matter to me. I¡­ I¡¯m going to be promoted?¡± Hanks couldn¡¯t believe it. With Bell¡¯s huge popularity, ordinary platforms would not easily let random staff manage him. He would be managed by those veteran managers. As the director of video editing, he was just a technician and was still a distance away from being a manager. His income was naturally not as high as the managers. Hanks had been looking forward to this position for a long time. He had finally gotten the chance today. Looking at the sleeping Bell, Hanks decided. ¡°No matter what, I have to grasp this lucky charm tightly. As long as I can manage and promote Bell, it won¡¯t be a dream to become a senior executive in the future.¡± Hanks was looking forward to the future when he managed a broadcaster with tens of millions of fans. What a scene would that be and how astonishing an income would he have. At the same time, the beautiful host in the broadcast room was also called to the office by the higher-ups. ¡°How is Bell doing on the program?¡± The host nodded and said seriously. ¡°That child has always been very stable, and he can always give people some surprises. This time, he should be the first to escape from the Wilderness Survival. I expect the ratings to increase tomorrow.¡± After several performances, Bell¡¯s name had already spread to the higher-ups of various platforms. The man nodded. ¡°In that case, if the response this time is still good, arrange an interview with him.¡± ¡°At the same time, put more resources on him.¡± The beautiful host was not too surprised. This was common. From the popularity Bell had shown, it was not surprising. However, there was one thing that she had to confirm. ¡°Leader, I wonder what level of resources we are talking about?¡± Although they had to distribute some traffic, it could not be too ridiculous, so she had to confirm this. The man fell silent for a moment. ¡°We will give him the best resources and try our best to spread this program with his image.¡± ¡°Leader, are you serious? Aren¡¯t the highest resources¡­¡± This time, the beautiful host was really shocked. She did not expect the platform to take Bell so seriously and even think of making him their brand ambassador. There were less than five celebrities who had such a traffic promotion in the entire station. The five people were all top figures who had been in the entertainment industry for over a decade. ¡°Alright, this matter is decided. There¡¯s no need to say anything else. Go back and continue to host the show. I don¡¯t have to say much about how wide the influence of this program is. Seize the opportunity.¡± ¡°Build a good relationship with Bell too.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t worry, leader. I will take this matter seriously.¡± The beautiful host nodded seriously. Then, she left the office and returned to the broadcast room. The night passed peacefully. The next morning, Bell slowly woke up on his camel¡¯s blanket. The inside of the oasis was incompatible with the desert outside. From time to time, the sound of insects and birds could be heard. It seemed to be filled with vitality. Chapter 66 - Replenishing Water With Aloe Bell woke up. Hearing the insects and birds chirping beside him, Bell thought that he had returned to the primeval forest. But when he looked around, he saw that at the border of the oasis, there was still yellow sand. He went to the pool to wash his face. He felt like his mind was refreshed. Seeing Bell move again, the many online audience in the live-stream began to comment again. ¡°Congratulations, Bell. The production team has decided to distribute more traffic to your broadcast.¡± ¡°Yeah, yeah. I heard that the production team even wants to set up an exclusive screen for Bell.¡± Bell had just woken up and was stunned when he saw the comments on the screen. ¡°Did the production team set up a channel for me?¡± Bell was surprised. This channel resource was very precious. Some celebrities even had to agree to some passive contracts to obtain such things. He did not expect for it to be arranged by the production team before he even heard the news. This was very surprising. However, after thinking for a while, Bell did not pay much attention to it. This was a good thing for him. As for what the production team wanted, he believed that he would know after the program ended. He took out another piece of dried fish from his backpack and filled his stomach before leaving the oasis. After walking out of the oasis, Bell looked back reluctantly. ¡°This is really a good place, but I might not have a chance to come here again.¡± ¡°Alright, let¡¯s not delay any longer. We¡¯re leaving this desert today and returning to the civilized world.¡± With that, Bell continued forward. Time passed slowly. The sun rose and the temperature started to increase. However, what was in front of Bell was no longer the desolate desert. On the contrary, after such a long time, Bell was already starting to see many green plants. Clearly, the water resource here was many times more abundant than the water in the center of the desert. This rich water and plant resources meant that he was getting closer and closer to the civilized world. Because he had replenished enough food and water in the oasis, Bell was extremely energetic. Although he had walked a long while, Bell still did not feel tired. Walking into a bush, Bell zoomed in and pointed at a green plant. ¡°Everyone, look here. This is an aloe vera.¡± ¡°It¡¯s a very common plant at the edge of the desert.¡± ¡°At the same time, it is the easiest plant to replenish our water content.¡± While talking, Bell used the dagger to cut off a fat aloe leaf. ¡°The effect of aloe vera is not only to replenish water, but also to clear internal heat as well.¡± ¡°In India, you will often see stalls selling aloe vera liquid.¡± ¡°Aloe vera is not completely edible. For example, the skin must be removed. Otherwise, it can easily cause physiological discomfort such as diarrhea and vomiting.¡± As he spoke, Bell used the dagger to peel off the skin of the aloe. The inside of the aloe vera was like glue. Bell collected some and ate it, and found that it tasted quite good. Apart from being a little sticky, it could indeed relieve thirst. ¡°Compared to the reed stalk we ate before, this taste is much better.¡± ¡°Unfortunately, we can¡¯t find such a thing in the depths of the desert.¡± In fact, Bell did not lack water. He had filled a large canteen yesterday. But for the sake of the show, Bell still demonstrated it. After walking for less than an hour, a road finally appeared in Bell¡¯s vision. The moment Bell stepped onto the road, the comments in the live-stream exploded. ¡°The host is awesome. He came in first again.¡± ¡°Indeed, no matter what the environment is, it can¡¯t trap Bell at all.¡± ¡°If we¡¯re talking about who moved out of the desert first, it isn¡¯t Bell. After all, dozens of contestants have been taken away by helicopters.¡± ¡°Previous poster, are you a professional at bickering?¡± ¡°Being picked up by the rescue team after almost dying and escaping by oneself are two different concepts.¡± ¡°When will the next season be?¡± When some fans saw that the live broadcast was over, they were already looking forward to the next round. Bell could not answer this question that had no relation to wilderness survival. Glancing at the number of his fans, Bell realized that his number of fans had already reached 10 million, and it was still increasing. Bell nodded in satisfaction. ¡°Not bad. I thought I would have to wait for a while longer, but I didn¡¯t expect it to be completed in just one round. Looks like the more dangerous a place is, the more it can stimulate the audience¡¯s senses. At the same time, the number of fans will increase.¡± Scarlett Johansson, who had been paying attention to Bell¡¯s stream, stood up excitedly. In the room, Scarlett Johansson saw that Bell had escaped the desert and couldn¡¯t help but cover her mouth. She kept jumping around in the room to vent her excitement. The beautiful host, Li Ziqi, and even Ed and Bear stood up from the guest area and cheered for Bell. ¡°In less than a week, our contestant has successfully escaped the dangerous environment of the desert.¡± ¡°Looks like although this contestant is young, he is indeed a master at wilderness survival. He has used his actions to prove this again.¡± Ed and Bear confirmed Bell¡¯s ability. At the same time, Hanks moved. Almost the moment Bell saw the road, Hanks immediately packed his things and prepared to rush to Shanghai to welcome Bell. At the same time, Hanks did not forget to take out the latest contract. The company had handed Bell¡¯s matter to Hanks. After thinking for a while, he felt that he should grasp Bell before the other companies took the initiative. At least, no matter what, his platform had to have a share of the benefits. As an experienced middle-aged man, Hanks was quite reliable. At the same time, Bell finally saw a truck and hitch-hiked. Bell finally returned to civilization. At the same time, it meant that his Wilderness Survival live broadcast was finally over. Chapter 67 - End of the Broadcast, Advertisements Although Bell¡¯s episode of Wilderness Survival was over, the effects were far from over. Because Bell¡¯s influence was no less than some A-list celebrities, many manufacturers sprang to action. They wanted to find Bell¡¯s contact details and ask him to do some advertisements. This was inevitable for those who were famous. Even the station was helpless. After all, they were only in charge of the program¡¯s recording and could not interfere with the contestants¡¯ personal choice. After seeing Bell¡¯s potential, many capitalists were eager to turn Bell into a money-making tool. However, before they could move, Scarlett Johansson, Li Ziqi, Xiaoxiao Group, and several other live-stream platforms spoke at the same time. The content was also surprisingly consistent. It was to express support for Bell. Faced with such top platforms, some capitalists gave up their initial plans. They could only watch as this piece of fatty meat slipped away. Bell was lying on the bed in a hospital. He was eating an apple contentedly. After returning from the desert, the first thing he did was naturally a full body examination to check for parasites. He could not be careless about this. After all, good health was a prerequisite for work. Survival was the first priority in the wilderness, so there was no way to be picky about food. Fortunately, the present medical field was advanced, and Bell was also very careful when it came to wilderness survival. Nothing like eating random food would happen. Li Ziqi was holding an apple and peeling it with a knife. ¡°You¡¯re famous now. You probably don¡¯t know yet, but many people have their eyes on you.¡± As a host herself, Li Ziqi knew Bell¡¯s current situation very well. She wanted to remind Bell to pay attention to these things and not be fooled. After all, the business world was bloody. The final result of easily signing a contract was constant exploitation. She knew that with Bell¡¯s reputation, contracts were unavoidable, but he had to choose properly. Bell nodded and took the peeled apple. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, I understand.¡± ¡°If someone asks me to sign a contract, I will read it carefully.¡± 1 The two of them had already gotten to know each other after the round in Shennongjia. Moreover, as a special guest on Wilderness Survival, Li Ziqi had been paying attention to Bell¡¯s movements. The two of them had been maintaining contact. Li Ziqi treated Bell like her younger brother. Hearing Bell¡¯s words, Li Ziqi curled her lips nonchalantly. How could an eight-year-old understand this? She decided that she needed to help if something happened. Just as Li Ziqi was about to say something, someone knocked on the door. Knock, knock, knock! The two of them looked through the window and saw a sweet-looking woman standing in front of the door. The two of them were stunned when they saw the woman¡¯s appearance. Li Ziqi¡¯s own appearance was very outstanding, but compared to the woman, her temperament seemed to be weaker. To be precise, the two of them had different natures. One was an experienced woman, and the other was closer to being a virtuous wife and mother. Li Ziqi looked at Bell suspiciously. She realized that Bell was also puzzled. ¡°Hello, is this Mr. Bell?¡± The woman¡¯s tone was very polite. Seeing that the other party took the initiative to speak, Bell also came to his senses. ¡°Hello, I¡¯m Bell. Sorry, it¡¯s not convenient for me to move now. What can I do for you?¡± ¡°Hello, my name is Lin Xiaoxiao. We had contacted each other online before.¡± Lin Xiaoxiao walked forward with a smile and shook Bell¡¯s hand. Bell felt that her hand was very soft, as if it was boneless. Bell, who was a mature person mentally, couldn¡¯t help but feel shaken. Of course, it was only for an instant, and he quickly composed himself. As for Li Ziqi, after hearing that they had already communicated, she curled her lips in jealousy. ¡°You¡¯re so popular with women at such a young age.¡± Li Ziqi knew about the previous time in the Alps. Scarlett, who had partnered with Bell, had been paying attention to him. Now, there was this Lin Xiaoxiao. It seemed like the people around Bell were all beautiful women. Just as Li Ziqi was thinking, Lin Xiaoxiao had already sat down. ¡°Mr. Bell, firstly, congratulations on passing the round and getting ten million fans.¡± ¡°The other thing is to talk about the details of our collaboration.¡± Lin Xiaoxiao did not beat around the bush and directly expressed her intentions to Bell. Hearing that, Li Ziqi immediately came to her senses and sat beside Bell. ¡°Lin Xiaoxiao, right? Hello, I¡¯m Bell¡¯s sister. If it¡¯s convenient, can you tell me about the collaboration?¡± After hearing that Lin Xiaoxiao wanted to talk about the so-called collaboration, Li Ziqi, who had already experienced some trouble before, immediately thought of what she had experienced. She immediately listed this woman in front of her as one of the capitalists scheming to exploit Bell¡¯s value. Hearing Li Ziqi¡¯s sudden reply, Lin Xiaoxiao was stunned. She saw hostility in Li Ziqi¡¯s eyes and was puzzled. Bell guessed Li Ziqi¡¯s thoughts and quickly explained. ¡°No, no, Sister Li, you¡¯re mistaken. This Manager Lin is not from a business platform, but a manufacturer who wants to talk to me about endorsement.¡± Compared to the platforms signing contracts, there were not many conditions in commercial endorsements. Most of them were one-time deals. Li Ziqi finally reacted. Her attitude earlier had been a little too extreme. She had taken a defensive stance before she knew the situation. Thinking about it, Bell could indeed receive some advertisement offers with his number of fans. Would her attitude towards Lin Xiaoxiao affect Bell¡¯s income? Li Ziqi regretted it. ¡°I¡¯m sorry, Manager Lin. I was wrong earlier. Bell is still young. There are some things he doesn¡¯t understand yet. I thought he had encountered some platforms with ulterior motives.¡± 1 Lin Xiaoxiao did not mind too much and waved her hand casually. ¡°It¡¯s okay, I understand.¡± However, she looked at Li Ziqi with a teasing expression. Chapter 68 - Endorsement, The Protective Li Ziqi After explaining the matter, the group returned to the topic. ¡°Mr. Bell, have you considered what I said before? Is there anything you want to add?¡± ¡°If you don¡¯t, this endorsement will be handed to you. I will transfer the 5 million endorsement fee to your account as promised.¡± Hearing this number, even Li Ziqi was shocked. The 5 million endorsement fee was definitely not low for a new internet celebrity. ¡°Did you bring the details of the contract this time?¡± Bell was not blinded by the huge benefits. He asked the key questions calmly. Lin Xiaoxiao nodded. Then, she took out a document from her bag and handed it to Bell. ¡°This is the contract we want to sign. Bell, you can take a look. If there are no issues, we can sign it now. Of course, Miss Li can also help to advise.¡± ¡°However, Miss Li is also a top celebrity in the industry. I believe you know some of the rules, so I won¡¯t go into detail. Some of the content in the contract cannot be leaked.¡± Lin Xiaoxiao smiled and said. Li Ziqi was displeased. Hearing Lin Xiaoxiao¡¯s words, she felt that the other party seemed to be teasing her. She felt that her reaction earlier was too sensitive. However, Li Ziqi still decided to help Bell. Bell did not refuse to show the contract to Li Ziqi. Looking at the content of the contract, Li Ziqi could not believe it. ¡°Are you sure you want to sign this contract with Bell?¡± If it was before, Li Ziqi would have thought that Lin Xiaoxiao did not have good intentions towards Bell. But after reading the contract, Li Ziqi wondered if this guy had other plans. It was not that the content of the contract was bad, but it was too generous. It was completely unlike an advertisement contract at Bell¡¯s level. Bell also looked puzzled. He knew what he was capable of. Although he already had ten million fans, the price Lin Xiaoxiao offered could definitely hire an A-list celebrity. The influence would also definitely be greater than his. There must be a reason for this. It was a good thing to get the contract, but if there were any additional terms or even things that he did not know, it might not be a good thing. When the time came, the contract might affect him. Therefore, before signing the contract, Bell had to understand these things. As if she had guessed that Bell would ask this, Lin Xiaoxiao smiled and said. ¡°Don¡¯t worry. Since I¡¯m here today, I naturally came with enough sincerity. Moreover, I know what the two of you are thinking.¡± ¡°Indeed, with Bell¡¯s current number of fans, it¡¯s not enough to get such a high advertisement fee and this outstanding contract.¡± ¡°But Bell¡¯s status is indeed what we need.¡± ¡°Our goods include some children¡¯s outdoor goods. It¡¯s very difficult to find suitable people to endorse them.¡± ¡°Moreover, I believe that our cooperation will not only be this once, so this signing is also a way of showing our sincerity. If there¡¯s a chance in the future, I hope we can continue working together.¡± ¡°For various reasons, our company decided to sign this contract with you.¡± ¡°As for the additional conditions, I only hope that when there are similar endorsements, Bell can consider our company first.¡± Li Ziqi and Bell finally reacted. ¡°That makes sense.¡± ¡°Alright, in that case, I¡¯ll accept this.¡± Li Ziqi did not stop him. After all, this was a very good opportunity. Hearing that, Lin Xiaoxiao and Bell smiled and shook hands. ¡°Then I wish us a happy cooperation!¡± ¡°Wish a happy collaboration!¡± After chatting for a while, Lin Xiaoxiao did not continue to stay. ¡°Since the matter is settled, Mr. Bell, please focus on recuperating. I won¡¯t disturb you anymore.¡± ¡°Alright, let¡¯s talk over the phone. As for the actual shooting time, it might have to wait until I¡¯m discharged, but I¡¯ll arrange it as soon as possible.¡± Since he had taken the money, Bell did not act arrogant. He naturally had to cooperate with the other party. Lin Xiaoxiao did not refuse. She smiled and nodded before walking out the door. Seeing that the other party was leaving, Li Ziqi felt relieved. She thought that the other party was going to partner with Bell like Scarlett. Fortunately, the other party was not. The previous scene of Scarlett Johansson and Bell taking care of each other on the show had already made Li Ziqi feel a little jealous. However, when Lin Xiaoxiao reached the door, she suddenly turned around and smiled at Bell. ¡°By the way, Bell, I forgot to mention this. I¡¯m a survival enthusiast myself. If there¡¯s a chance, let¡¯s travel together someday.¡± After saying that, Lin Xiaoxiao turned and left without looking back. Only Bell and Li Ziqi, who was showing signs of going mad, were left in the room. ¡®This girl was really here for Bell!¡¯ Previously, Li Ziqi thought that the other party might really be just looking for Bell to cooperate. She did not want to be too hostile. Therefore, she relaxed a little. She did not expect this woman to retaliate and catch her off guard. Seeing that the other party wanted Bell to do the same thing like with Scarlett, Li Ziqi could not sit still. It felt like her treasure was being snatched away. ¡°Bell, this woman has ill intentions towards you. You have to interact less with her in the future.¡± Lin Xiaoxiao had already left. Li Ziqi could only turn her head and look at Bell solemnly. Faced with Li Ziqi, Bell could only smile awkwardly. ¡°Alright, Sister Li Ziqi, I understand. I will pay attention.¡± Bell was touched by Li Ziqi¡¯s care for him, but the two were like siblings. But now that he looked at Li Ziqi¡¯s protective expression, it seemed like the relationship between them had changed. After saying that, Li Ziqi noticed that her expression was a little too intense, and she restrained it quickly. Time passed slowly. Not long after Lin Xiaoxiao left, the beautiful host also looked for Bell. Hanks also came. For a moment, Bell felt like he was busier in the hospital than in the wilderness. Chapter 69 - New Contract, Test In the hospital, Bell looked at the beautiful host and Hanks. ¡°Mr. Bell, I¡¯m sorry to disturb you, but I have good news for you.¡± Hanks looked pleased. His words were not as casual as before. However, Bell did not pay much attention to his tone. ¡°Mr. Hanks, what¡¯s the good news?¡± Bell was puzzled. Hanks should have come to find him in two months. He had come early and said that he had brought good news. Could it be that he could sign the contract in advance? Hanks took out a contract and handed it to Bell. ¡°This is my good news, Mr. Bell.¡± ¡°After careful consideration by the platform, everyone is of the opinion that with your potential, the contract should be adjusted.¡± ¡°Mr. Bell, you can take a look. If there are no issues, we can sign the contract today. From today onwards, I will be the person in charge of your platform.¡± Hearing the word contract, Li Ziqi was instantly on guard. Bell opened the contract, and Li Ziqi came over. Seeing the content of the contract, Li Ziqi covered her mouth in disbelief. ¡°Mr. Bell, I am officially inviting you on behalf of Twitch to become one of our top contracted content creators. As long as you are willing, the benefits on the contract will immediately take effect.¡± Hanks saw that Bell had opened the contract and said respectfully. On the surface of the contract in Bell¡¯s hand, Bell¡¯s salary had increased from three million to five million. The profit sharing was still 1: 9. But the most important thing was the last line. It was also a newly added clause. As long as the contract was signed for more than a year, Bell would be able to obtain the company¡¯s shares. The board of directors would jointly transfer 5% of the shares. Although this number of shares did not sound high, it meant that Bell had entered the company¡¯s higher management. Even if Bell did not do anything in the future, he could still get a dividend from the platform. In this case, Bell¡¯s identity was different. Although the identity of the top content creator was good, he was actually just a worker. But with the shares, he would also be one of the partners of the company. This condition was indeed very tempting. It was also because of this condition that Li Ziqi¡¯s mouth widened. Li Ziqi also had tens of million fans and was very famous on YouTube and other platforms. Otherwise, the production team would not have invited her as a guest host. But even so, no one had approached her and offered such generous conditions. ¡°Mr. Bell, what do you think? Is there anything else to add to the contract?¡± Bell shook his head. ¡°The contract is not bad. There¡¯s nothing to add. We can sign it anytime.¡± Hearing Bell¡¯s answer, Hanks quickly took out a pen, as if he had prepared it long ago. The two of them quickly signed the contract. ¡°Mr. Bell, since the contract is signed, from today onwards, you can upload your videos to the platform. The company will also promote your videos.¡± ¡°Of course, given your status as a top video creator, you don¡¯t have to do the editing yourself. As long as we have your approval, I will get someone to edit it for you.¡± Bell nodded. ¡°In that case, I¡¯ll leave it to you guys. But first, don¡¯t do any malicious video editing. Also, don¡¯t accept advertisements without my knowledge.¡± Bell said solemnly. Hand over the video authorization. This was the first step in collaborating with the platform. Bell was quite satisfied that the other party took the initiative to take the editing task. However, this small favor could not make Bell give up on his principles. For example, advertisements and malicious editing. This was common for newbies who had just joined video streaming sites. Bell had to make sure they were aware of it. After all, although this contract looked good, it was uncertain if he could obtain the shares. A year was not long, but the contract was for three months. In other words, the next few contracts would be a benchmark for Bell. This contract looked very generous, but it was also a test. Bell had to show the platform his long-term value. Moreover, he had to create an unshakeable position in wilderness survival for a year. If he could not achieve such an effect, Bell could guess that the platform would definitely not renew the contract with him. In fact, this contract was a bet agreement. But even though he knew this, Bell still agreed without hesitation. Because Bell was confident of success. After signing the contract, Hanks left Bell his contact details and left. He had to quickly send the news back to the company. The program team¡¯s beautiful host interviewed Bell after Hanks left. The audience was shocked when they saw that the interview was in a ward. Many fans even called the station to ask what happened to Bell. The broadcast station¡¯s hotline almost exploded. This also made the production team realize how popular Bell was. After knowing that Bell was only doing a simple physical examination, the fans calmed down. Bell responded to the audience. ¡°Thank you for your concern. I¡¯m fine. It¡¯s just that it is inevitable for there to be parasites in the food in the wilderness, so we have to check ourselves properly after living in the wilderness.¡± ¡°I also suggest that you do a physical examination if you travel in subtropical climates like in Africa and South America. Because the temperature there is dry, there are more parasites. You have to be careful.¡± The audience did not know whether to laugh or cry. He was already in the ward, but Bell still did not forget to spread knowledge to the audience. Soon, the interview ended. The beautiful host left. In the ward, Li Ziqi heard Bell say that he lived alone, and was ready to bring him to her home after he was discharged. She explained it by saying that it would be easier to care for him this way. It was difficult to refuse such kindness and he did not have anywhere to go anyway, so Bell agreed. After finishing all the immediate matters, Bell finally welcomed a few days of peace. He went with Li Ziqi after he was discharged, and lived a comfortable life. Unfortunately, this life was interrupted by a phone call one morning. Chapter 70 - Hidden Battle, Advertisement Effect Bell had just woken up when Lin Xiaoxiao called. ¡°Mr. Bell, I heard that you¡¯re already discharged. I wonder what about our endorsement talk¡­¡± Lin Xiaoxiao broke off mid-sentence. However, Bell understood her intention. They were clearly anxious. ¡°Oh, President Lin, I¡¯m sorry. I¡¯ve been too tired these past few days and forgot to contact you. Why don¡¯t you set a time? We can talk about the advertisement when we meet. As for the details, I¡¯ll do my best to cooperate with you.¡± ¡°Are you free this afternoon? Let¡¯s meet to discuss the details of the advertisement.¡± Lin Xiaoxiao seemed to be a little anxious. Bell was puzzled. Why was the other party in such a hurry? However, he still nodded in agreement. ¡°Alright, send me the location, I¡¯ll be there in the afternoon.¡± Bell did not dare to place the meeting place at Li Ziqi¡¯s home. Previously, when Li Ziqi and Lin Xiaoxiao met, there was already some tension. The two of them ended the call. Bell was about to get up and open the door when he realized that Li Ziqi was already crossing her hands and looking at Bell unhappily. ¡°Sister Ziqi, good morning.¡± Seeing Li Ziqi¡¯s expression, Bell felt a little guilty as if he had done something wrong. Li Ziqi rolled her eyes. ¡°I¡¯ll go with you this afternoon. That woman is not easy to deal with. You¡¯re just a child. I¡¯m worried that you will be deceived.¡± With that, Li Ziqi turned and walked to the dining table. Bell sighed. Living with Li Ziqi was different from living with Scarlett Johansson. Scarlett seemed to be more childlike. When she was with him, she would sometimes be flustered. But she was also more unrestrained. When he lived with Li Ziqi, he could feel the warmth of a girl from a humble family. Li Ziqi was very good at all things related to daily life and was very skilled in handicraft too. When he first tasted Li Ziqi¡¯s food, he felt that if she did not become a broadcaster, opening a restaurant would be a good choice. Of course, this was only a thought. The two of them had their own good points. Although Li Ziqi was very concerned about him, she would not interfere too much in his decision. It was just that she would sulk alone. It made her look cuter. After breakfast, Bell took his time to rest. Soon, it was afternoon. However, Li Ziqi dressed herself up seriously. The few times Bell met Li Ziqi before, she had makeup on, but he had never seen her dress up so seriously. It was easy to understand the reason. It must be because of Lin Xiaoxiao. ¡®A woman¡¯s competitive nature is really terrifying.¡¯ He could only complain inwardly. When they arrived at the cafe that they had agreed on, Lin Xiaoxiao was not surprised to see Li Ziqi. On the other hand, Bell was a little speechless. This was because he could tell that Lin Xiaoxiao had also dressed up today. She was no longer the experienced woman he had seen at the hospital. Instead, she looked mature and charming. They greeted each other and sat down to talk about the advertisement. In fact, there was not much to discuss. It was just some small talk. But because of the meeting between Li Ziqi and Lin Xiaoxiao, things seemed to have become more complicated. Bell felt like he was in a slaughterhouse as he sat between them. ¡®I am suffering something that I shouldn¡¯t be suffering at this age.¡¯ Bell waited for the matter to end. Throughout the entire process, he only learned the time of the shooting. The rest of the time, the two women were basically competing with each other. After escaping from this battle, Bell made a decision. If there was no need in the future, he would definitely not let these two meet again. Fortunately, the shooting time of the advertisement was confirmed. The endorsement was about children¡¯s outdoor gear. When Bell wore these clothes. Lin Xiaoxiao¡¯s eyes lit up. Perhaps it was a psychological effect, but Lin Xiaoxiao felt that this outfit was really suitable for Bell. At the same time, she knew that she had definitely chosen the right person. After wearing this outfit, Bell¡¯s image was exactly as she had imagined. The advertisement was completed and quickly entered the market. And because of the support of Bell¡¯s fan base, Lin Xiaoxiao¡¯s products also became popular overnight. Many other outdoor products were created. Bell also repeatedly reminded them about the quality of the products. Fortunately, Lin Xiaoxiao¡¯s company was a top-notch industry in the country and was not a small workshop. There were no issues with the quality. Some fans who only bought due to Bell¡¯s reputation felt that it was worth the money. With all these factors, Bell¡¯s fan base grew again. Because of the high quality of their products, Lin Xiaoxiao¡¯s company¡¯s products were recommended as a top product by many survivalists. When choosing equipment, almost all the outdoor enthusiasts would think of Lin Xiaoxiao¡¯s company first. This also made Lin Xiaoxiao earn a lot. She was glad that she had reached an agreement with Bell. Bell did not know much about business. At this moment, he was busy with another matter. He clicked on his fan count. It had already reached ten million. Bell was no longer satisfied with his current fan count. Bell estimated that if he wanted to reach the extent of making the platform give up its shares, he would have to have 50 million fans within a year. It corresponded to gaining an increase of 10 million fans every three months. If it were anyone else, they might have already chosen to give up. But Bell did not think it was impossible. After these few live broadcasts, Bell had already accumulated a lot of popularity in the system interface, but had not exchanged any skills. What he had to do now was to choose some places that relied more on survival skills to do the live broadcast. Because of this thought, Bell was observing some dangerous wilderness areas around the world. Some places even had supernatural legends. These areas that could attract everyone¡¯s attention became one of Bell¡¯s targets. At the same time, the Wilderness Survival¡¯s production team was also preparing for the next Wilderness Survival location. After three rounds of selection, the number of qualified Wilderness Survival contestants was decreasing. However, all the remaining contestants had some specialties. At least, there were almost no amateur contestants remaining. After setting a new record three times, the production team began to discuss how to increase the difficulty of Wilderness Survival. Chapter 71 - Team Competition Many higher-ups of the production team gathered to discuss how to proceed with the recording. After several broadcasts, everyone could see the potential of this program. In order to maintain and increase the viewership, the few of them naturally had to work hard. In addition to ensuring the quality of the contestants, the program itself had to be innovative. This could give people a different feeling of anticipation. However, thinking of something new was not easy. A man sitting at the front spoke. ¡°In the previous team competition, the response to that round was quite good. Why don¡¯t we do a team competition this time as well?¡± ¡°Inviting some celebrities can also increase the number of views.¡± Everyone¡¯s eyes lit up, but soon, someone shook his head. ¡°But it can be quite dangerous.¡± ¡°Everyone has already seen it. Wilderness Survival is not a game that an amateur can take part in.¡± ¡°It¡¯s already hard for the contestants to ensure their survival.¡± ¡°Other than Bell, there is no other contestant who can guarantee their safety.¡± At the beginning, there were over a thousand people in the Wilderness Survival program. But after a few rounds of selection, only about a hundred people remained. The difference in the levels of the starting 1,000 contestants was indeed exaggerated. Many of them participated because they thought it would be easy. But after experiencing it for themselves, everyone realized that Wilderness Survival was definitely not as simple as it looked. Basically, these contestants chose to leave halfway. Even if some were lucky, it would be very difficult to last until the second round. If the invited celebrities were handed over to these people, it would probably result in huge trouble. Everyone seemed to reject this suggestion, but the man who had made the suggestion was clearly still unwilling. ¡°How about we arrange a team mode for Bell?¡± ¡°No, this will easily arouse the disgust of the audience. They will say that we are deliberately targeting outstanding contestants.¡± It was clearly not feasible to favor one over the other in the same program. However, the man shook his head and denied. ¡°No, you didn¡¯t get me. I mean to arrange those celebrities with more fame to Bell¡¯s side. The remaining contestants can choose their teammates to participate in the team survival mode.¡± The man looked at everyone. The people beside him were also considering this matter. This was indeed a good suggestion. Not only could they ensure the program¡¯s viewership ratings, but they also did not have to worry about the safety of these celebrities. Everyone had absolute trust in Bell¡¯s survival skills. Even Ed and Bear, who were experts, praised Bell non-stop. Coupled with the production team¡¯s protective measures, they believed that nothing would go wrong. Soon, everyone reached an agreement. ¡°Since no one has any objections, is this matter settled?¡± ¡°I¡¯m okay with that.¡± ¡°I have no objections.¡± ¡°Alright, it¡¯s settled then. Let¡¯s announce this news.¡± The production team quickly settled the matter. At the same time, Bell was watching the television in boredom. But his thoughts were not on this. Instead, he was thinking about how to increase his number of fans faster. It was not easy to gain 50 million followers. He remembered the episode with Scarlett Johansson. His number of fans had increased very quickly. It was probably because Scarlett Johansson had a huge fan base. Many of the audience were fans of Scarlett Johansson. After seeing the show, they stayed in his live-stream and became one of his fans. But such things could only be chanced upon by luck. He couldn¡¯t look for Scarlett for no reason. Li Ziqi was a good choice. However, her live broadcast style was similar to his. If she was pulled into the show, it would inevitably be criticized. Bell gave up after some thought. Today, it was the broadcast of Wilderness Survival and Bell¡¯s outstanding performance. Many of the streamers also thought of following the trend of wilderness survival craze and earning profits. The streamers who were using wilderness survival as a cover appeared on various live-stream platforms. And since Bell was taking a break, they really managed to attract a lot of fans. Many people watched because they wanted to see if they could find exciting wilderness survival content. However, after everyone watched for a while, they realized that this was not wilderness survival, but an outdoor picnic. The most ridiculous thing was a live-stream on Twitch. Two streamers said that they were doing a live broadcast of wilderness survival. They looked like a couple. But the ridiculous thing was that this couple did not even know how to start a fire. The couple spent the entire morning starting a fire which looked quite easy in Bell¡¯s hands. The audience was slack-jawed. Even so, this live-stream still had more than ten thousand viewers¡­ However, most of them were Bell¡¯s fans. Not a single one of the ten thousand audiences was their fan. All of them came to watch and persuade them to retire. The comments were very neat, telling the two of them, ¡°Stop embarrassing yourself here and quickly take a class.¡± In the end, the two of them could not fulfill their goal and turned off the live broadcast. There were countless such cases. Wilderness Survival was not something that anyone could broadcast just because they wanted to. This was much more difficult than imagined. Not only did they have to understand the wild environment, but they also had to be observant. Most importantly, they had to have knowledge and outstanding stamina. Lacking any one of them was no different from seeking death. After this round of streams, everyone finally understood what it meant by there was no harm without comparison. Some fans of wilderness survival were even more looking forward to Bell¡¯s return. The people finally got what they wished for. After half a month, the production team finally called Bell. Some of the top celebrities also received this call. Instantly, many celebrities gathered in Shanghai. The production team also acted mysterious. When Bell asked what they were up to, he actually said it was a secret and did not tell him. However, this made Bell look forward to it. After knowing that the Wilderness Survival was going to start again, Bell began to prepare. At the same time, at the Shanghai airport, a beautiful figure had just alighted from the plane with her luggage. Looking at the number on the phone, the figure smiled. Chapter 72 In the main hall of the station. Bell and the other contestants were already there. These contestants were all survivalists who had passed the previous three rounds. although they did not pass as easily as Bell. At this moment, everyone was looking at each other. They did not know why the production team had called them over. It could not be said that they did not know about it. At least, everyone knew that it had to do with the next episode of Wilderness Survival. ¡°I wonder what new tricks the production team is going to pull this time. I hope it won¡¯t be like last time.¡± ¡°I almost couldn¡¯t walk out of the desert survival last time.¡± Everyone felt lingering fear when they thought of their previous trip to the desert. Lacking food and water was not a good life for humans. In the past, most survivalists had relied on luck to find some edible food. There was no specific plan, or even if they had some, they could not be put into practice. Although there were rescue teams, this was still a very dangerous thing. But even so, these people present still had no intention of retreating. Because Wilderness Survival was indeed a very popular program. Even if they could not win the first prize, they could still make a killing by getting some fame. Many of these survivalists who had passed the rounds had started to do product endorsement. With money on the line, these survivalists were unwilling to give up on this fat piece of meat, even though it was very dangerous. Because they had relied on luck to survive, most survivalists thought that the others were similar to them. However, they knew that one of them was an exception, and that was Bell. All the survivalists present had a trace of hostility when they looked at Bell. ¡°Is that the recently viral Bell?¡± ¡°Hmph, I thought he was something amazing. But no matter what, he is only a child.¡± ¡°I heard that Bell¡¯s results are very outstanding. He was first in the previous Wilderness Survival rounds, and he has already taken up more than half of the program¡¯s popularity.¡± ¡°Hmph, what¡¯s so great about it? It¡¯s most likely just a gimmick created by the production team.¡± ¡°Are you saying that his videos are fake? They¡¯re completely different from us.¡± Two contestants whispered. ¡°What else could it be? He¡¯s only an eight-year-old child. Do you think he has such ability?¡± ¡°It¡¯s not like we don¡¯t know how difficult Wilderness Survival is. The production team is just deceiving the layman.¡± ¡°I dare to bet that his scenes are definitely staged. Who knows how many teams are following behind him during the recording.¡± The others nodded in agreement. That¡¯s right, how could a child like him possibly do something so difficult like Wilderness Survival? There was no lack of self-righteous people in this world. There were always people who felt that if they could not do something, the others would also not be able to do it. Bell did not know about their conversation. Or rather, even if he knew, he would not care. He knew very well whether his live broadcast was real or not. It was not something that others could deny with just a few words. While everyone was whispering, the production team finally appeared. The beautiful host walked out with Ed and Bear. ¡°Since everyone is here, let¡¯s get to the point.¡± ¡°Firstly, I would like to congratulate everyone. To be able to pass the previous few rounds, everyone is very outstanding in the wilderness survival field.¡± The beautiful host was polite. She had seen these people¡¯s tragic looks when they left the wilderness. Many people seemed to take her words at face value. Among them were the two people who had criticized Bell from behind. At this moment, they were looking forward proudly, as if they were the survivalists with outstanding results that the host had mentioned. However, most of the people were paying attention to the beautiful host¡¯s words and were in no mood to pay attention to the two of them. The beautiful host continued. ¡°However, you will face an even greater test.¡± The beautiful host paused. Immediately, the hearts of the survivalists who had passed by luck rose to their throats. They did not want to be inexplicably eliminated. Everyone became nervous, not knowing what the production team was planning. The next second, the host said with a smile. ¡°The production team thinks that after these experiences, solo survival is no longer a threat to everyone, so we have decided to have a team competition for the next round.¡± ¡°With limited resources, let¡¯s see who can survive.¡± Bell¡¯s pupils constricted. ¡°Limited resources? In that case, the location shouldn¡¯t be too big.¡± ¡°And it¡¯s a team competition.¡± He had not seen any other survival contestants in the past few times. Could it be that he would encounter other contestants in the show this time? Bell reacted immediately. The others were paying attention to something else. ¡°Team competition, doesn¡¯t that mean we can team up with other survivalists?¡± For a moment, everyone who had been avoiding Bell like tigers leaned in his direction. Although everyone expressed their disdain for him, no one was willing to let go of this opportunity to suck up to him. Although they did not know if Bell really had the ability, it was a good thing to be able to increase their popularity. Unfortunately, the beautiful host seemed to see through everyone¡¯s thoughts. She shook her head and smiled. ¡°Everyone, you¡¯re mistaken. Since it¡¯s Wilderness Survival, we naturally can¡¯t let everyone form a team in private like this.¡± ¡°I¡¯ll introduce some new friends to everyone.¡± Immediately after, figures walked out from the backstage. There were both men and women. Before the contestants could ask, the beautiful host explained. ¡°Alright, these new friends are your next companions in Wilderness Survival.¡± ¡°There will be five people in each group for this Wilderness Survival round, and one contestant has to be in each group.¡± ¡°The team composition will be chosen by the participants themselves.¡± ¡°If the number of participants in a contestant¡¯s team exceeds the allowed number, the contestants can choose the final team members.¡± Everyone understood. In fact, it was handing the priority over to the participating guests. But the final decision was in the hands of the contestants. Chapter 73 - What’s This Line Hearing the female host¡¯s words, the eyes of all the contestants in the hall lit up. Because they realized that these guests invited by the production team were more or less famous. But among them, there were four guests who were the most famous. The four of them had western faces and were all top celebrities. They had a lot of fans. As long as they could reach a consensus with any one of the four, their performance would be perfect. Everyone¡¯s thoughts were heated. Many of the contestants in Wilderness Survival could not help but sit up and try to be a gentleman, hoping that they could become that lucky person. But Bell was stunned when he saw them. To be precise, he was stunned when he saw one of them. The four of them were Anne Hathaway, Natalie Portman, Keira Knightley, and Bell¡¯s old friend, Scarlett Johansson. Scarlett winked at Bell. Moreover, for some reason, Bell felt like the gazes of these four people were on him. The four of them were all top celebrities, so there was no way that Bell did not recognize them. Anne Hathaway, the female actress of The Dark Knight, was dressed up like an intellectual female boss. Her deep and bright eyes were smiling at Bell. Natalie Portman was equally famous. She debuted when she was 12 years old and was the female protagonist of the famous movie, ¡®L¨¦on¡¯! Ever since the child star debuted, she had received many awards. Keira Knightley was also a famous movie star. There was probably no one who had not watched her movies. She was the female protagonist of the Pirates of the Caribbean series which had several classic sequels. Seeing this scene, even Scarlett Johansson wondered if they were holding Oscars? Bell was speechless. Actually, this was not a secret. Bell knew, and so did the other contestants. Everyone was surprised that the organizers could invite such celebrities. At the same time, they were praying that they could team up with any one of the four. The beautiful host saw the expressions of the contestants and smiled. She had long seen through the thoughts of these contestants. However, she did not expose it. After all, everyone who participated in this program wanted to become famous and rich overnight. Unfortunately, such things usually happened in dreams only. ¡°Alright, everyone, let our guests make their choice.¡± As the beautiful host finished speaking, the contestants immediately sat up straight and looked at the four top celebrities. The four of them clearly knew each other. They smiled and walked in one direction. Most of the remaining guests also walked in the same direction. Seeing the group of people walk towards him, Bell was stunned. Scarlett Johansson walked forward playfully. ¡°We meet again. Looks like you¡¯re quite popular. So many people chose you.¡± Bell finally reacted. It turned out that these people all wanted to join his team. ¡°Hello, Bell. I¡¯ve been paying attention to you, but I haven¡¯t had the chance to meet you. This time, I heard Scarlett mention you. I wonder if I can have the honor to join your team?¡± The slightly mature Natalie Portman looked at Bell and smiled as she shook his hands. Keira and Anne also looked at Bell. Clearly, they had chosen to join Bell¡¯s team. The remaining internet celebrities and A and B-list celebrities could only stand behind. They hoped that Bell would somehow choose them. The other Wilderness Survival contestants were completely dumbfounded. Almost all the guests except a few were around Bell. The few guests would not be enough to even make a five man team. This difference was too big. Many contestants were amazed at how realistic the people were. At the same time, they realized that they had been overthinking. These four top celebrities were clearly invited by the production team. Although it was impossible for them to let the four of them choose by themselves, they could push them to one person to create a Wilderness Survival brand. The person chosen was undoubtedly Bell. Instantly, the other contestants were envious and unwilling. Bell finally understood. The beautiful host smiled at Bell. ¡°Alright, it seems like our contestant Bell is really popular. Most people want to join Bell¡¯s team, but according to the rules, contestant Bell, please choose your teammates first.¡± ¡°This way, the show can continue.¡± Bell nodded. It just so happened that he needed a large number of fans. It was simply to his liking to have four top celebrities sent to his team; he naturally would not refuse. Moreover, such top celebrities had a solid fan base, so there was no reason to push them away. ¡°Alright, I choose Anne Hathaway, Natalie Portman, Keira Knightley, and Scarlett Johansson.¡± Hearing Bell¡¯s choice, the others were not surprised. The remaining B-list, C-list celebrities, and internet celebrities who were not selected turned to look at the other contestants bitterly. However, not all the contestants could restrain their emotions. The two contestants who had been slandering Bell gritted their teeth when they saw that Bell had chosen all four top celebrities. ¡°What¡¯s so great about it? He is just relying on the program organizer.¡± One of them said bitterly. Although the man said that, he was still envious. However, the person beside him smiled and said, ¡°Don¡¯t be anxious. This was only arranged by the production team. When it¡¯s really time for survival, if we¡¯re lucky enough to encounter them, who knows who these four people will follow.¡± The man was stunned. ¡°You mean?¡± ¡°Hehe, didn¡¯t you say that Bell¡¯s show is staged? Then let¡¯s go and take a look. The production team has already said that there aren¡¯t many resources this time. I believe the location won¡¯t be too big. There¡¯s a high chance of encountering Bell¡¯s team.¡± ¡°If we see them, we can take a look at how the show is staged.¡± ¡°Even if it¡¯s not, we can also take advantage of the popularity. Those four people beside him are all top celebrities. As long as we can get to know them, their fan base will definitely be enough for us to make good profits.¡± The two of them smiled and made a decision. Soon, every contestant team in the hall was arranged neatly. The host continued. ¡°Alright, since everyone has made their choice, we will announce the exact location of survival.¡± ¡°Our Wilderness Survival location this time is on Vis Island.¡± ¡°It¡¯s a tropical wilderness island about 90 square kilometers.¡± ¡°Because the location of this survival round is small, you might encounter each other. Moreover, the resources are very limited, so in order to prevent conflict between the contestants, we will set a few rules.¡± ¡°All teams are allowed to cooperate.¡± ¡°If two teams see a prey, the prey will belong to the one who captures it first.¡± ¡°Also, you can¡¯t keep on occupying a resource point.¡± The round was on a desolate island after all. Although they had recording equipment, it was difficult to guarantee that some people would not lose their minds in a desperate situation. Therefore, some things had to be said first. Everyone understood. Bell was thinking about something else. ¡°System, exchange for top combat techniques.¡± ¡°Top swimming skills.¡± ¡°Top archery skills.¡± ¡°Top fishing skills.¡± Chapter 74 - Leading the Beauties Bell bought a few skills from the system without hesitation. Because of the growth in the number of fans, Bell did not feel heartache at spending these points. As for why he exchanged for a combat skill, Bell had noticed the way the other contestants had looked at him. There was definitely no kindness in their gazes. In such a deserted island environment with limited resources, an eight-year-old child was leading a few world-class beautiful female celebrities. He was like a piece of fat meat! If he did not have the ability to protect himself, it was very easy for accidents to happen. Although the show was live and the production team would not let such a thing happen, it was always good to have more insurance. As for archery skills, Bell got it just in case. There were not many resources on the island, but if some birds flew over, they could be considered food. The host continued. ¡°Alright, since the teams have been decided, please board the plane.¡± ¡°You will be sent to the designated location.¡± Hearing the host¡¯s words, everyone did not hesitate. They got up and boarded the plane. Wilderness Survival began again. The contestants¡¯ live-stream also became lively. Many fans had already received the news. As soon as Bell¡¯s live-stream opened, a large number of fans rushed in. Similarly, the screens in the broadcast room were playing as well. The contestants were sitting in the cabin, waiting to reach the designated location. Many contestants turned their gazes to Bell. After all, the four beautiful women sitting together were indeed a little eye-catching. If not for the fact that everyone had a fixed seat, some people might have already moved near them. The beautiful host looked at the camera in the broadcast room and said. ¡°Dear viewers, welcome to the new season¡¯s Wilderness Survival live broadcast.¡± ¡°Wilderness Survival will be presented in a new form to everyone.¡± ¡°We will place all the contestants on a deserted island that is about 90 square kilometers.¡± ¡°On this desolate island with limited resources, all contestants will survive together.¡± ¡°Moreover, this time is different from the previous times. This time, Wilderness Survival will choose a team competition. Every contestant will be accompanied by four guests.¡± ¡°Our contestants need to bring these four guests safely back to the civilized world.¡± ¡°This means that on this uninhabited island with scarce resources, every contestant needs to obtain more resources to ensure the safety of the guests.¡± ¡°With limited resources, we will see how our contestants escape from this deserted island.¡± The camera turned to the contestants. Hearing the host say that this was actually a group competition, the audience became excited. Moreover, along with looking after the safety of the guests, the contestants had to be careful of each other too. Just the sound of it seemed like it was going to be several times more difficult. The screen turned to the contestant who looked ready to jump. Bell was not in a hurry. In the eyes of the other contestants, by jumping first and occupying a favorable position in such a place where resources were scarce, it would be easier to win. But in fact, Bell knew that it was not true. In a sense, wilderness survival relied more on endurance. Seeing that Bell did not move, the girls did not urge him. They only waited for him. Seeing that the other contestants were in a hurry to jump, Bell began to explain. ¡°Alright, friends, it¡¯s nice to meet you again.¡± ¡°I believe everyone already knows our location through the broadcast room.¡± ¡°This is a deserted island.¡± ¡°In this sea region, countless people meet with accidents every year, and some are swept to uninhabited islands, but this is not heaven to them, but a new round of hell.¡± ¡°On such a desolate island with scarce resources, it is very difficult to survive a day without survival skills.¡± ¡°We¡¯re going to a completely uninhabited island. Of course, this is before all of our contestants go there.¡± ¡°Vis Island is a typical volcanic island. This island is nearly 500 nautical miles from the coast.¡± ¡°It is very difficult to see ships traveling near the island.¡± ¡°Our mission is to lead the four guests to the civilized world.¡± Bell introduced the four guests beside him to the audience. Seeing these four familiar faces, the comments in the live-stream exploded. ¡°F*ck! The production team is really going for it this time. They actually invited so many top celebrities.¡± ¡°The news has already spread. The fans of the four celebrities are rushing to Bell¡¯s live-stream.¡± Bell was satisfied. This was the result he wanted. The plane gradually slowed down, and the number of people in the cabin decreased. There were not many people in Wilderness Survival this time, only ten groups. In other words, fifty people would land on this island. According to Bell¡¯s estimates, it would not be long before someone could not take it and chose to quit. Although this uninhabited island looked lush and did not seem to be dangerous, only those who had experienced it would know that water and food resources on such an island were even more scarce than the desert. After introducing the audience to the theme and the guests, Bell turned to look at the female guests. ¡°Do you all know how to swim?¡± Although he knew that they should have done some training before participating in the program, he still had to confirm it. The girls nodded. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, Scarlett told us before we came.¡± ¡°As long as it¡¯s not eating insects raw, I should be able to accept anything else, haha.¡± Anne Hathaway joked. Clearly, she had watched Bell¡¯s previous live broadcast. Seeing that they knew him well, Bell was relieved. ¡°I can only try my best not to let you suffer such a situation. Now, please listen to my instructions and prepare.¡± Because it was survival on an uninhabited island, the production team did not prepare parachutes for Bell and the other contestants. The plane stopped at a height of five meters from the sea. Jumping into the water from this height would not injure them. With a plop, Bell jumped out of the plane and entered the water in a very standard way. When the women saw this, they didn¡¯t hesitate and jumped into the water one after another. Bell did not have time to delay. He led everyone to the shore of the island as quickly as possible. ¡°We have to hurry and swim ashore because there can be sharks moving around here.¡± ¡°Actually, most of the time when sharks attack people, they don¡¯t attack in the deep sea area. Most of the time, they attack in this shallow sea area.¡± Chapter 75 - Replenishing Water, Tropical Climate Bell said as he swam towards the shore. ¡°Sharks often drive other fish into shallow waters to hunt.¡± ¡°When the tide goes out, some sharks will be trapped in the shallow sea area.¡± ¡°I don¡¯t want to encounter such a big guy in this situation, so it¡¯s better to leave first.¡± The place where Bell jumped was not far from the island, but it was not easy to swim in the sea. Fortunately, Bell could use the force of the waves to save some energy. ¡°You have to be careful not to swim against the current. Otherwise, your stamina will be exhausted very quickly.¡± After swimming for nearly a mile, Bell felt that his arms were already a little sore. Fortunately, he had already arrived at the shoal. The seawater here could be said to be very shallow, less than two meters. Although the shore was right in front of him, Bell became even more careful. ¡°Everyone, you have to pay attention to this.¡± ¡°Unlike the deep sea area where there are large fish, there are usually creatures like corals, poisonous jellyfish, and eels living in these shallow areas.¡± ¡°If you are attacked by these things, your death is almost a certainty.¡± Bell reminded Scarlett and the others. Soon, the few of them climbed ashore with difficulty. Lying exhausted on the shore, Bell heaved a sigh of relief. On the shoal, the hot sun shone intensely. Soon, Bell felt some pain on his skin. It was the burning sensation of ultraviolet light. He called Scarlett and the others and they rested under the trees. Keira regulated her breath and said, ¡°This place did not look so far away, but it took so much effort to reach it.¡± Keira Knightley could be considered an expert at swimming. She had thought that it would not be difficult to swim in the sea where there was a lot of buoyancy, so she did not expect to be exhausted. ¡°It is because the seawater is flowing. Our luck is already quite good. It would have been even more troublesome if we encountered a whirlpool,¡± said Bell. ¡°Alright, everyone, we can¡¯t waste time.¡± ¡°In such a deserted island, the first task is to resolve the water problem.¡± ¡°Although this place is surrounded by the sea and filled with water, there is actually very little drinkable water resource. It can even be said that there is none at all.¡± ¡°On this tropical desolate island, the highest temperature during the day is not much lower than the desert. It can also reach 38 ¡ãC.¡± ¡°If standing in the desert is like being in an oven, then here, it would be like you are in a huge steamer.¡± ¡°Trust me, you definitely won¡¯t like this feeling.¡± ¡°We need to replenish as much water as in the desert.¡± The audience in the live-stream gasped when they heard Bell say that the environment here was actually as dangerous as in the desert. Thinking of the previous situation in the desert, everyone still had lingering fear. Bell got up and looked around. He realized that there were no other contestants around. After all, this place was 90 square kilometers. Compared to the previous setting, it might seem a little small, but in fact, it was still vast for 50 people. Not far away, Bell saw a few coconut trees. ¡°I believe everyone knows that coconut is undoubtedly a very good choice to replenish water on such a tropical island.¡± ¡°I have to remind you guys that don¡¯t stay under the coconut trees for shade.¡± ¡°Mature coconuts can even reach a kilogram. Moreover, the coconut¡¯s shell is very hard.¡± ¡°If it falls on a person¡¯s head from the top of a tree, they might die immediately.¡± Seeing Bell get up, the women stood up and looked around curiously. From time to time, they would watch Bell explaining seriously. Walking to the coconut tree, Bell looked carefully. ¡°The fruits on the coconut trees have not fallen. Most are not ripe.¡± ¡°We can choose some coconuts that have fallen to the ground but haven¡¯t rotted to replenish the water.¡± Bell turned to look at Scarlett and the others. They understood what Bell meant. ¡°Come, let¡¯s search together.¡± ¡°Collect as many as possible.¡± ¡°We have more people, so we need more resources.¡± The few of them started moving. After a while, the five of them finally found eight coconuts. After using the dagger to open the coconut shell, some water was barely replenished. The coconut water was not as delicious as they had imagined. It had a sour taste. But in the wilderness, this was already a very delicious thing. Bell continued to explain. ¡°Now that we¡¯ve solved the water problem, we have to think about the shelter.¡± Anne Hathaway asked curiously. ¡°I¡¯ve watched your show before. If it¡¯s a shelter, can¡¯t you just find a random place with so many trees?¡± Scarlett nodded as well. Ever since Scarlett Johansson returned from the previous show, she had reviewed Bell¡¯s videos. Bell shook his head and said. ¡°If we were in another primeval forest, we could use a suitable tree as a shelter, but our situation is a little special.¡± ¡°This is near the equator. There will be frequent rainstorms in the tropical climate.¡± ¡°Moreover, because it¡¯s in the sea, there will be a lot of salt in the rain. It has a certain corrosive effect and can easily destroy the immune system of the human body.¡± ¡°Therefore, we can¡¯t just find a place to sleep like before. We have to build a shelter that can help us avoid the rain.¡± The girls nodded in confusion, seemingly understanding a little. ¡°It¡¯s not too late to resolve the food problem after we build a shelter.¡± ¡°No matter what, we¡¯re near the sea.¡± ¡°We can find shellfish even by looking around some rocks, at the very least, we will not starve to death.¡± ¡°Of course I¡¯m talking about the worst-case scenario.¡± ¡°We should be able to get good food if nothing goes wrong.¡± ¡°There seem to be some banana trees here. If we gather some banana leaves and some sturdy branches, we should be able to build a shelter.¡± Chapter 76 - Looking for Water Source Hearing Bell say that they could survive here by eating clams and oysters, the fans who had watched Bell¡¯s live broadcast before laughed. ¡°Brothers, our lives have improved.¡± ¡°There is no need to eat snakes and insects anymore¡­¡± ¡°I hereby announce that Wilderness Survival is officially renamed as Food Exploration.¡± ¡°I suddenly feel that living on this desolate island seems to be a good choice.¡± ¡°Yeah, and he even has so many beautiful women to spend time with!¡± Some of the audience teased. Bell smiled. ¡°After we resolve the three issues of freshwater, food, and shelter, we can consider how to leave this island.¡± ¡°The safest way to leave such a deserted island is to climb to the high ground of this island and start a fire. Then, we can wait for the passing planes to see us and come down to rescue us.¡± ¡°But this method is too reliant on luck.¡± ¡°If no plane passes by here, it will be difficult for us to survive without food and water.¡± ¡°Therefore, we have to think of other ways.¡± ¡°The most reliable method is to create a bamboo raft.¡± ¡°Although this method is a little risky, it is better than betting on luck.¡± With that, Bell stood up and turned to look at Scarlett Johansson and the other women. ¡°What¡¯s wrong, Bell? Do you need our help? It¡¯s okay, just tell us.¡± As she spoke, Natalie Portman stroked the hair beside her ear, perfectly revealing her mature side. Coupled with the faint smile on the corner of her mouth, even though Bell was still underage, he could not help but feel his mouth dry. The audience also saw Natalie Portman¡¯s expression and were instantly fascinated. ¡°F*ck, I suddenly feel like the production team created this round for us audience!¡± ¡°The next time there is this kind of round, I want to sign up as well.¡± Many audience members screamed at the camera. On the screen, Scarlett Johansson seemed to notice something unusual. She rolled her eyes and quickly stood in front of Bell. She whispered in Bell¡¯s ear. ¡°You are not old, but you already have bad intentions.¡± Bell finally realized that he had lost his composure. Looking at Natalie Portman now, he saw a teasing smile on her face. Bell also reacted. Clearly, the other party had done it on purpose. ¡®F*ck, I was tricked. This Natalie Portman is definitely evil. She doesn¡¯t even let children off.¡¯ It was not Bell¡¯s fault. The four beauties themselves were very attractive. In addition to the deliberate temptation, although Bell¡¯s body was not mature, his actual mental age was not young at all. He naturally could not withstand such temptation. Fortunately, Bell reacted after being reminded by Scarlett. Rubbing his nose awkwardly, Bell chose to forget what had happened. ¡°Alright, our mission now is to formulate a plan.¡± ¡°Let¡¯s check our equipment first. The production team only gave us a set of clothes, a backpack, a canteen, and a dagger.¡± ¡°They are really stingy.¡± ¡°We need to find a water source first.¡± ¡°Although we have just found a few coconuts, they can only be used as temporary replenishment. They are not enough for us to use as a long-term water source.¡± ¡°Since it¡¯s a team competition, let¡¯s complete this mission together. This way, the efficiency will be higher.¡± ¡°Scarlett, leave the search for water to me. The few of you find something to eat on the shore. Remember, if you¡¯re not confident, don¡¯t go into the water. It can be very dangerous here.¡± Seeing Bell¡¯s serious expression, the girls also nodded seriously to show that they understood. ¡°Although this island is not big, it is not small either. I will leave some marks on my way. Try not to leave this place.¡± ¡°Also, be careful of the other teams. You can give up on resources if necessary.¡± Bell reminded them of the dangers they could encounter. Seeing Bell acting like a little adult, the others smiled and nodded. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, we all know. Moreover, this is a show, not a real wilderness survival. There shouldn¡¯t be a need to be so crazy as to attack others for food, right?¡± Scarlett Johansson thought nothing of it. Bell shook his head and said nothing else. This was indeed not a real wilderness survival. As long as the contestants said they would withdraw from the competition, their lives would not be in danger. But never try to test human nature. There was only one outcome for doing so ¨C a massive disappointment. Bell decided to not leave too far, so that he could reach them fast if something happened. With this in mind, Bell stopped hesitating and began to search for water. Carrying the backpack given by the production team, Bell walked deeper into the uninhabited island. While walking, Bell did not forget to observe the surroundings and explain to the audience. ¡°Looking at the terrain here, this should be a deserted island formed by a volcanic eruption.¡± ¡°On such an island, it is very difficult to find a water source that flows from underground to surface.¡± ¡°Therefore, our only choice is to see if we can find puddles formed by rain.¡± ¡°If a rainstorm has happened recently, we should be able to find them.¡± As he spoke, Bell found a tree branch and broke it, using it to scout the way. ¡°On such a deserted island, everyone has to be especially careful, especially when walking in the dense forest. There are many poisonous snakes here. Even saltwater crocodiles native to Australia and New Guinea might appear here.¡± Bell explained seriously as he pushed aside the weeds in front of him. As the program progressed, the videos of the contestants in the broadcast room were already shown on the big screen. The most eye-catching part was Bell¡¯s live broadcast. This was also the effect that the production team had deliberately arranged. After all, they had invited so many celebrities. If they did not give some close-ups, it would be a waste of resources. In the production team¡¯s office, the few people who had made the decision earlier were looking at the tablet in their hands. The screen was showing Wilderness Survival. The man who looked like the leader asked, ¡°How is it? How¡¯s the viewership ratings compared to before?¡± He was very concerned about this, after all he was the one who suggested this group competition. Chapter 77 - High Viewership The people beside him were smiling. ¡°The viewership rating is so good.¡± ¡°Compared to before, it has increased by five percent, and the show is just the beginning.¡± Everyone said excitedly. With the popularity of Wilderness Survival, 5% increase was already very high. It meant an increase of tens of millions of viewers. Moreover, this was just online. This could be considered a very outstanding result in any program. The man who spoke suddenly thought of something. ¡°By the way, how is our contestant Bell? We invested a lot of resources on him this time. Even those top celebrities were invited.¡± The people who were looking at the screen data were even more excited. ¡°Bell¡¯s results are simply unbelievable. Almost five million people have already entered his live-stream.¡± ¡°The server was almost flooded by his live-stream.¡± ¡°For this, we even created a traffic director for his live-stream.¡± The man nodded in satisfaction. ¡°That¡¯s great.¡± The impact of the traffic from Bell¡¯s stream and his fans could be compared to the top celebrities. ¡°In that case, our previous decision is not wrong. We can¡¯t delay any longer. Now, give Bell a permanent residence channel. As long as all the users open the site or channel, they will see Bell at first glance.¡± For such a contestant with great potential, the organizer was willing to invest more. Hearing the leader¡¯s decision, some executives were shocked. ¡°Leader, do we really have to do this? Doing this is no different from making Bell the spokesperson for our program. With the current popularity of Wilderness Survival, isn¡¯t it too much of a loss to make such a decision without signing a contract?¡± The man shook his head. ¡°We can talk about the contract later. The current situation won¡¯t allow us to wait. We have to strike while the iron is hot.¡± ¡°After this round, you can look for Bell and discuss the cooperation with him.¡± ¡°This will be us expressing our sincerity.¡± The man was determined. The people in the room did not retort. The technical department received the news and quickly carried out this order. Bell¡¯s image and live broadcast became the cover of the show. Soon, someone in the live-stream noticed this and ran to Bell¡¯s live-stream to report. ¡°Host, let me tell you a piece of good news. Your live broadcast has been officially covered.¡± ¡°It¡¯s not just that. I realized that there is an additional channel to Bell¡¯s live broadcast. Other contestants don¡¯t receive such treatment.¡± ¡°F*ck, this is the boss daddy giving Bell special treatment!¡± ¡°Amazing!¡± ¡°Bell¡¯s fan club gifted 10,000 USD!¡± Instantly, rockets covered the screen. A large number of treasure chests were scattered in Bell¡¯s live-stream, stirring up another wave of excitement. A wave of treasure chests pushed the atmosphere in Bell¡¯s live-stream to another peak. ¡°Tycoon, tycoon, please let me hold on to you.¡± ¡°Tycoon, do you need a subordinate?¡± There were a total of 100 treasure chests. This price was not low. Ordinary people really could not afford to do this. Bell looked at the name Fan Club Xiaoxiao in the live-stream and quickly reacted. This fan was undoubtedly Lin Xiaoxiao. At the same time, Bell was thinking about something else. ¡°The production team has actually set my image as the cover? In that case, they¡¯re preparing to collaborate?¡± ¡°This is a good thing. I can increase the number of fans even more.¡± Bell smiled and stopped thinking about it. The production team could make such a decision because they saw his popularity. Instead of thinking about how to collaborate with the production team, it was better to think about how to make his stream good. Bell focused on finding water. The small Bell moved through the forest easily. Suddenly, he stopped. In the live-stream, everyone became nervous when they saw Bell¡¯s actions. Bell gestured for them to keep quiet. ¡°Everyone, be careful. I found some new things.¡± Everyone followed Bell¡¯s gaze. On the pile of dead leaves not far away in front of Bell, a dark-brown snake head could be seen. It was spitting its snake tongue out, as if it was capturing the smell and waiting for its prey to come. The color of the snake head and the dried branches outside formed a perfect disguise. If not for Bell¡¯s reminder, the audience in front of the screen would really have difficulty discovering it. At this moment, the audience who had heard Bell say that it was easy to find poisonous snakes in this tropical rainforest were nervous. What was the good thing about this? Bell did not approach rashly. Instead, he looked straight at the snake¡¯s eyes. He explained to the audience. ¡°Usually, to determine if a snake is toxic, we have to first observe its appearance.¡± ¡°Everyone, take a look at this snake¡¯s head.¡± ¡°The snake¡¯s head is triangular. This kind of snake is usually venomous, because the poison glands of the toxic snakes usually grow behind their fangs, and it also causes the two sides of the toxic snake¡¯s mouth to be opened by the poisonous glands.¡± ¡°We have to be careful.¡± As he spoke, Bell retreated, wanting to put some distance between him and the poisonous snake. At the same time, he did not dare to look away. ¡°According to my observation, this should be a Tarantula snake. This type of snake usually lives in the east and north coast of Australia. At the same time, there is a chance that it will appear on an island in New Guinea. An adult snake can usually grow to about two meters tall. It¡¯s very fast and can eat small mammals.¡± ¡°At the same time, this snake¡¯s venom is abnormally strong. The toxin released from every hunt is enough to kill a hundred adults.¡± Hearing Bell¡¯s introduction, everyone in the live-stream couldn¡¯t help but have goosebumps. ¡°F*ck, it¡¯s enough to poison a hundred people. This snake¡¯s poison is actually so strong!¡± ¡°Bell, run quickly. This is not a joke. If you are bitten by this snake, you might not even have time to wait for rescue.¡± Clearly, the audience in the live-stream knew what was going on. At least this time, Bell did not rush forward directly. Chapter 78 - Taipan Snake, Quick Reaction Bell had already begun to retreat. It was naturally impossible for him to charge toward the poisonous snake foolishly. After putting a safe distance between himself and the snake, Bell heaved a sigh of relief. At the same time, he did not forget to tighten his grip on the wooden stick. In this environment, this was Bell¡¯s best weapon. If he encountered any danger, he could react immediately and retaliate, preventing him from being too passive. The fans heaved a sigh of relief when they saw that Bell was out of danger. At the same time, they were curious about the snake. ¡°Host, I live in the eastern part of Australia. Can you explain in detail about this snake? If I encounter it in the future, I can take precautions.¡± ¡°That¡¯s right, host, I think it¡¯s better to introduce it to everyone. We can show off to other streamers.¡± Bell smiled when he saw the comments. ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll explain in detail about this taipan snake.¡± ¡°Taipan Snake is one of the most venomous snakes in the world. Anyone who is bitten by this snake will usually die within three minutes if they don¡¯t get the antidote in time.¡± ¡°The venom will prevent your wounds from healing and cause you to bleed intensely.¡± ¡°This is basically the reason why people who are poisoned die.¡± ¡°In short, few people have successfully survived the bite of a taipan snake.¡± ¡°Because they need to hunt for food, taipan snake attacks very fast, and it is good at continuous attacks.¡± ¡°By the time you feel its bite, you will have been attacked countless times.¡± ¡°An adult taipan snake¡¯s attack range is usually 50cm.¡± ¡°Of course, there might be some talented ones among them. I can only wish you luck in that case.¡± Seeing that Bell did not forget to joke at this moment, the audience was stunned. ¡°F*cking talent.¡± ¡°Everyone, truth be told, I am the one with exceptional talent.¡± ¡°Explain it. Are you talking about your specialty?¡± F*ck, you guys are actually making sexual innuendos in the live-stream? Looking at the comments on the screen, even Bell did not expect the conversation to be led astray from just a casual joke. He quickly stopped it. ¡°Alright, everyone, I¡¯ve really underestimated you guys. Let¡¯s focus on this taipan snake.¡± At this moment. The snake, which had maintained a safe distance from Bell, moved again and suddenly jumped towards him. Bell did not dare to be careless. He quickly struck the snake with the wooden stick. Sensing the danger, the snake shrank back. But at the same time, they looked at each other again. The man and snake were in a deadlock. The audience was also shocked when they saw the snake attack. Just now, Bell felt the wooden stick in his hand vibrate four times. In other words, in that short instant, the snake had already bitten four times. The audience was also feeling lingering fear. ¡°Oh my god, this snake is too fierce. It attacked just like that.¡± The audience in the live-stream could still clearly see that the tip of the wooden stick in Bell¡¯s hand was dripping with unknown liquid. Even a fool knew that that thing was the venom of the snake. At the same time, Bell was glad. ¡°Fortunately, I exchanged for top-level combat skills earlier, and my reaction speed increased by a lot. Otherwise, I might not have been able to react in time.¡± The most important thing about fighting techniques was reaction speed. As the saying went, the system¡¯s products had to be of high quality. After exchanging for the top combat skills, the system had also increased his reaction speed by a lot. Only then could he react to the sudden attack of the taipan snake. But even so, it still made him feel lingering fear. Looking at the dispirited snake, Bell did not show mercy. He seized the opportunity and hit the top of its head. The snake was unable to dodge Bell¡¯s attack and was struck firmly. The snake straightened its body and twisted randomly. Bell saw that blood was flowing from the place where he had hit the snake. Clearly, the damage that the attack had done to it was not small. After all, it had taken a solid hit. The snake no longer had the strength to attack. It just kept struggling on the ground. Bell pressed the snake¡¯s head to the ground with the wooden stick to prevent it from retaliating before it died. He carefully approached the snake and cut off its head with the dagger. But even so, the snake¡¯s body, which had lost its snake head, was still twisting constantly, looking especially terrifying. Bell carefully picked up the snake¡¯s head and moved it to the screen. ¡°Look, this is the taipan snake¡¯s head.¡± ¡°Although it has been cut off, snakes have extremely strong vitality. There was a rumor that after an Indian snake charmer cut off the snake¡¯s head, the snake¡¯s head suddenly jumped and injected poison into the body of this man. In the end, this man died in the hands of this dead snake.¡± ¡°This is not groundless talk, but because the nerves of snake-type creatures are very strong. Even after death, they can still maintain their activity for a period of time. The best way to deal with these things is to bury the head in the ground after killing them.¡± With that, Bell buried the snake head. He picked up the snake body that was still twisting around and squeezed out the blood from the snake body before putting it in his backpack. ¡°Without the snake head, the other parts can be eaten. We can¡¯t waste it.¡± ¡°As expected, Bell is still Bell.¡± ¡°Snake lovers feel heartache for a second.¡± The people in the live-stream joked. As for Bell, he did not stop. He continued to walk deeper into the forest to find a water source. The forest on the island was not particularly dense. There were mostly bushes and weeds. After walking for about ten minutes, Bell finally found something. Not far away, three banana trees were conspicuous in front of everyone. Seeing the banana trees, Bell walked quickly. Chapter 79 - Banana Trees, Taking Water ¡°Heh, I have to say that our luck is really good. We actually discovered such a good thing in such a short time.¡± ¡°These three banana trees can provide us with a lot of water. Its thick fibers can also be used to weave ropes.¡± ¡°I can teach everyone a new method to get water.¡± He looked around and found some wild bamboo that was not thick. Bell took out his dagger and cut off a section of the bamboo, then sharpened the end. Bell made three bamboo pikes before stopping. After returning to the three banana trees with the three bamboo pikes, he said, ¡°Everyone, watch carefully. It¡¯s time to witness a miracle.¡± Bell stabbed the three straw-like bamboo sticks into the trunk of the banana tree. Not long after they were inserted, drops of liquid began to drip down the bamboo tube. Bell removed two banana leaves and his water canteen, placing them under the three bamboo tubes. ¡°There is a lot of water in the banana tree. Other than the thick fibers in the tree trunk, the rest is all water.¡± ¡°We can wait here for a while.¡± ¡°If there were no other contestants on the island, I might have left this here and collected them later, but in this situation, we can¡¯t. We have to ensure our spoils of war.¡± After some time, Bell felt that he had gathered enough water and continued deeper into the forest. Of course, he did not go far. Scarlett Johansson and the other women were still waiting for him. In such a dangerous environment, Bell was not at ease to let them stay by themselves. ¡°Actually, I¡¯m just trying my luck. We have a rough idea of the island¡¯s environment.¡± ¡°It¡¯s just like I thought. It¡¯s a deserted island formed by a volcano eruption. The terrain of such an island is usually slightly higher in the middle and the surroundings are lower.¡± ¡°This makes it difficult for this island to store freshwater even if there is a rainstorm.¡± ¡°But we have to try our luck.¡± Bell said casually. With these three banana trees, he was not as anxious as before. The water produced by these three banana trees was enough for the five of them to quench their thirst for an entire day. It could be considered to have resolved his urgent need. Bell walked for about half a kilometer. As expected, there were no pits with water. ¡°Alright, I¡¯m sorry. We haven¡¯t found a fixed water resource.¡± ¡°But there¡¯s no need to be too anxious. After all, the water resources we found today are enough for us to use.¡± Sitting on a rock, Bell explained to everyone while resting. ¡°Actually, there is no need to worry too much. In this tropical rainforest, it will rain frequently. As long as there is rain, we can obtain enough water.¡± Bell suddenly felt thirsty. He opened the canteen and drank the water he had taken out from the banana tree. Bell smacked his lips and raised an eyebrow. ¡°The water in the banana tree tastes very dry, reminding me of immature bananas, but other than this, the overall taste is not bad.¡± Since he could not find a water source, Bell did not plan to stay here anymore. He began to return the way he came. Compared to the speed at which he left, his return was much faster. After all, he had to search for items when leaving, but he did not have to worry about this when returning. When he returned to the beach, the sun had already begun to sink. As for Scarlett Johansson and the other women, they were waiting in a shaded area. There were also some coconuts beside them, clearly collected while Bell was not around. Bell was a little surprised. Seeing Bell return, they were very happy. Scarlett Johansson stood up. ¡°Bell, you¡¯re back.¡± Bell smiled and nodded. ¡°You must be thirsty. I have water here. Everyone, quench your thirst.¡± Hearing that there was water to drink, the girls¡¯ eyes lit up. Scarlett did not stand on ceremony with Bell. She took the canteen, unscrewed the cap, and drank a mouthful. A dry sensation filled her entire mouth. Immediately after, the smell of bananas filled the air. ¡°What kind of water is this?¡± ¡°It is water from banana trees. It tastes good.¡± Hearing that it was water taken from the banana trees, the few of them heaved a sigh of relief. Annie Hathaway and the others patted their chests, making them shake. Bell quickly turned his head to avoid being teased again. They had replayed Bell¡¯s videos before coming. The scene of Bell getting water in the desert had left a deep impression on them. They believed that Bell would not use such a method to get water for them, but in such an environment, anything was possible, so it was better to ask clearly. Fortunately, things were not as he thought. After a few mouthfuls of water, the few of them were in much better condition. Natalie Portman seemed to like the taste of the banana water. After drinking it, she still felt unsatisfied. She licked her lips and looked especially charming, making the audience feel their mouths dry. Bell naturally had no resistance against such an older sister. He quickly turned his head, making the four women laugh again. Bell looked around. ¡°Actually, this place is not bad, we can see the sea clearly.¡± ¡°Once a ship passes by, it will be convenient to send a distress signal.¡± ¡°Alright, everyone, let¡¯s make a fire before it gets dark.¡± ¡°Do you need anything? We can help you find it.¡± Seeing that Bell had been busy the entire day, Scarlett Johansson and the others were a little embarrassed to stay idle. Bell thought for a moment. ¡°You can help me gather some branches. The sea breeze is very cold at night. We need enough wood.¡± ¡°Okay. Then we¡¯ll go gather some branches. You can solve the shelter problem.¡± Natalie Portman smiled. Everyone had no objections. The four women were about to leave to pick up tree branches when Bell said again. ¡°Don¡¯t go too far. Just take some from nearby. The forest at night is a little dangerous. You can easily encounter snakes.¡± Chapter 80 - Fire Saw Hearing that there were snakes, the four women trembled and took a step back. ¡°But aren¡¯t there too few branches in the periphery of the forest?¡± Scarlett Johansson looked troubled. ¡°It¡¯s okay, just gather however much you can find. We can just use it sparsely for tonight.¡± ¡°When we set off tomorrow, we can gather some more on the way. This way, we don¡¯t have to search for them at the last minute.¡± The few of them hesitated for a moment and nodded. The four of them walked to the edge of the forest and began to search for branches that they could use. The four women teased each other as they walked. Natalie Portman walked far away and even looked back at Bell with a smile. ¡°An interesting fellow. He¡¯s quite a gentleman despite his young age.¡± Hearing Natalie Portman¡¯s words, Scarlett Johansson raised her eyebrows and couldn¡¯t help but feel alarmed. She felt like someone was snatching something important from her. ¡°This little guy is only eight years old. Don¡¯t have any dirty thoughts.¡± Hearing Scarlett Johansson¡¯s words, Natalie Portman was stunned. Then, as if she had discovered something fun, she went to Scarlett Johansson¡¯s side. ¡°How about eight years old? A few years will be gone in a blink of an eye.¡± Natalie Portman did not look like she was joking. Scarlett Johansson was stunned. Then she said nervously. ¡°Hey, be rational. You can¡¯t joke about this.¡± ¡°I know Bell very well. You can¡¯t make a move on him!¡± Just as Scarlett Johansson finished speaking, the people beside her had strange expressions. Natalie Portman covered her mouth and giggled. ¡°Alright, stop teasing her. Look at how nervous she is.¡± Hearing this, Scarlett finally realized that she had been played. Annie Hathaway followed. The girls stopped after having some fun teasing Scarlett. ¡°You don¡¯t really have any thoughts about this little guy, do you?¡± After the fun, Keira asked Scarlett. Scarlett was stunned. She was about to shake her head in denial when she saw the others looking at her suspiciously. Scarlett felt a sense of guilt and swallowed the words she wanted to say. ¡°You guys are too much.¡± With that, Scarlett ran away from the group. Seeing this, the others stopped the topic. Bell did not know about this. He was busy with something else. Bell walked to the bamboo forest that he had discovered earlier. He explained to everyone as he walked. ¡°Actually, there are three plants that can be of great help to you on this desolate island.¡± ¡°The three plants are coconut trees, banana trees, and bamboo.¡± ¡°Our chances of survival will increase greatly when we find these three things.¡± ¡°The coconut can not only provide you with a lot of water, but also replenish your vitamins and nutrition with the coconut meat inside.¡± ¡°The huge leaves can also hide you from the sun. They are rare treasures.¡± ¡°As for the banana tree, it can provide us with fresh water. Moreover, the internal structure of the banana tree is mostly made of fibers. If you can weave a rope with it, you can do many things. For example, hunting and making traps.¡± ¡°As for bamboo, it¡¯s naturally the best material to build a shelter. If your skills are good enough, you can also create tools like a water canteen and a bamboo raft.¡± Bell said as he cut the bamboo with the dagger. However, the dagger was a small tool after all, so the chopping speed was inevitably slower. After a long while, Bell had only cut three to four bamboos. ¡°These are enough for us.¡± After trimming the bamboo sticks, Bell dragged them back to the beach. Scarlett and the others had already gathered some firewood and were waiting for Bell on the beach. Seeing Bell dragging such huge bamboos, the few of them quickly went forward to help. After a round of work, Bell finally decided to build the shelter between two tall trees. The trees on the desolate island were not too tall. Because of the monsoon climate here, the tall trees would be blown apart. As time passed, they were naturally eliminated. Using this kind of trees that did not have a tall trunk could save Bell a lot of trouble. He only needed to place two prepared bamboo sticks on the tree and some banana leaves on them to build a simple shelter. Bell quickly built the shelter with the cut bamboo. Looking at the simple shelter, the girls were a little excited. This was their first time out in Wilderness Survival. With Bell around, the few of them did not seem nervous. Instead, they were very curious about many things. ¡°Alright, everyone, our shelter is built.¡± ¡°We still have some bamboo left. It can be used to improve our rest.¡± Bell cut the remaining bamboo into bamboo strips that were about two meters long. Then, he spread these bamboo strips on the ground and used them as a simple floor. ¡°The audience who watched my previous program should have already guessed why I did it.¡± ¡°That¡¯s right, it¡¯s to isolate the sand and prevent the sand from sucking away our heat when we sleep at night. It will be troublesome if we catch a cold.¡± Seeing that Bell had finished building the shelter, the women looked at the shelter curiously. At this moment, Bell was preparing for the next task. ¡°The problem of water and shelter is settled. It¡¯s getting dark. We need to think about food.¡± ¡°Before that, we need to start a fire.¡± ¡°The fire can let us maintain enough temperature at night and cook food. These are essential.¡± ¡°Most importantly, if a boat passes by, if we¡¯re lucky, they might see the fire and come over.¡± ¡°In that case, we will have basically passed this round.¡± ¡°But the prerequisite is that we can light this fire first.¡± While speaking, Bell looked at the branches that Scarlett and the others had picked up and chose some that were dry. ¡°In the previous programs, everyone has seen the method of drilling wood to start a fire, but today, I am going to teach everyone a new method.¡± ¡°This method is called fire saw.¡± ¡°Some of you might know it as bamboo fire saw.¡± ¡°The condition for using this method to start a fire is that you have to have dry bamboo.¡± Bell cut the bamboo with his dagger. Then, he rubbed the leftover banana leaves into easily combustible fibers. ¡°Actually, this method of starting a fire is very simple, and the success rate is very high. You just need to stuff the fibers into bamboo and use another bamboo to constantly rub against it.¡± Bell said while rubbing the bamboo against the bamboo. The camera zoomed in and saw that the bamboo piece that Bell was rubbing was already slightly charred. Immediately after, the high temperature of the friction ignited the filling in the bamboo. Bell stopped. He gently blew on the sparks and the fire quickly became stronger. The few women had already surrounded him. Seeing that Bell had started a fire so easily, their eyes revealed surprise. Chapter 81 - Will You Be Poisoned by Eating Vipers? Seeing that Bell had started a fire so easily, not only Scarlett Johansson and the other women, but even the audience were very surprised. After the baptism of the previous rounds, many people had privately tried Bell¡¯s method of starting a fire. Although many people had succeeded, they had a deep understanding of the difficulty. Many people had their hands worn out, but they only charred the wood and were unable to start a fire. But in Bell¡¯s hand, this looked extremely simple. Instantly, many people in the comments felt that the materials used by Bell were relatively special. But soon, everyone was slapped in the face. ¡°Bell, can I try this too?¡± Natalie Portman looked interested in Bell¡¯s actions. Bell, who had just started the fire, looked at her and thought that since he did not need to use the remaining bamboo, he would let her try. Hearing Natalie Portman¡¯s words, the fans in Bell¡¯s live-stream became excited. They also wanted to see if Natalie Portman could start a fire as easily as Bell. Immediately after, everyone realized that although this thing looked simple, its execution was not any easier than the previous two methods. After a while, there was still no fire on Natalie Portman¡¯s side. ¡°Alright, stop trying. There¡¯s something wrong with your way.¡± ¡°This method of starting a fire requires you to ensure that the materials you want to ignite are dry enough. You also need to control the direction of the wind. If there is even the slightest spark, you have to try your best to make it into a flame. Otherwise, it¡¯s useless no matter how hard you work.¡± Hearing Bell say this, Natalie Portman gave up. ¡°As expected, it¡¯s a problem of people. I¡¯ve also tested the two methods Bell introduced before, but I was unsuccessful.¡± ¡°It¡¯s already dark. I saw that among the other streamers on the island, only a few were able to start a fire.¡± The comments were constantly discussing the difficulty of starting a fire. Bell took out the snake. ¡°This snake is clearly not enough for the five of us, but fortunately, there is still some coconut meat.¡± After arriving on the island, Bell did not have many tools to use, and the food he found was naturally very little. Bell had wanted to give the snake to the four of them. But when Natalie Portman and the others saw this snake, their scalps turned numb. They quickly shook their heads, indicating that the coconut meat was enough for them. Seeing that they were insistent, Bell did not refuse. This was wilderness survival. If they still could not find food in two days, the girls would naturally change. On the other hand, Scarlett did not refuse Bell¡¯s kindness. Or rather, after the previous duo round, she was already mentally prepared. Previously, when they had no food in the Alps, Scarlett Johansson had almost eaten the insects raw. Some fans in the comments saw that Bell was preparing to eat this venomous snake and couldn¡¯t help but worry. Although the venomous snake¡¯s venom glands were in its head which was already gotten rid of, whether the body could be eaten was another matter. ¡°Host, can this thing really be eaten? It will be troublesome if you are poisoned.¡± Some comments asked seriously. Bell only smiled and shook his head. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, I am confident.¡± ¡°I saw many people saying that poisonous snakes can¡¯t be eaten. After all, after the snake kills a prey, its poison is still in the prey¡¯s body. After eating the prey, the poison will also stay in the snake¡¯s body.¡± ¡°In fact, this is a misunderstanding because most people don¡¯t know much about the workings of the venom.¡± ¡°The venom of venomous snakes is usually only effective if it is injected into the blood. It can destroy the circulatory system or target the nervous system of living creatures.¡± ¡°In fact, the composition of the venom itself is just the arrangement of different proteins.¡± ¡°After a poisoned prey is swallowed by the venomous snake, its stomach acid and digestive enzymes will naturally break down these poison.¡± ¡°In theory, as long as your gastric mucosa is fine, you won¡¯t die from snake venom even if you drink the venom directly.¡± ¡°Of course, I don¡¯t suggest that, because there will be some wounds in our mouths. It will be troublesome if the venom enters our capillaries through these wounds.¡± ¡°I have a simple reference. In our living environment, venomous snakes are not common, so we can look at betadine, an antiseptic medicine.¡± ¡°Everyone knows that eating this can cause death, but if you just apply it to your wound, besides aggravating your pain slightly, it is not fatal. The two theories are similar, I believe everyone can understand.¡± ¡°Actually, as long as you don¡¯t inject the snake venom directly into your blood vessels, there won¡¯t be a problem.¡± ¡°And the most important thing is that when we eat this snake, we are cooking it. Snake venom is essentially a kind of protein. In a high temperature, the protein will change and cause the toxin to quickly lose activity, thus losing the ability to destroy the human nervous system and blood cells.¡± While explaining all that, Bell finished cooking the snake meat. He took a portion and handed it to Scarlett. The other women looked at the sizzling snake meat. Although they were envious, they still shook their heads and ate the coconut silently. As for the audience, after hearing Bell¡¯s explanation, they all agreed with him. ¡°As expected of Bell. He has never disappointed us. The trolls can¡¯t say anything now.¡± ¡°Is this a science show? So much has been explained about just a snake. It¡¯s completely different from other live-streams.¡± ¡°Previous poster, I suggest you take a look at the host in live-stream no. 48. This guy was poisoned by eating insects. The entire team has been wiped out. They should be able to see a rescue helicopter soon.¡± ¡°F*ck, after so many rounds of elimination, there¡¯s still such a thing as making up the numbers?¡± ¡°Do you think Wilderness Survival is so simple? Although it looks so easy on the host¡¯s side, it will be very difficult to remember the characteristics and poisonous creatures of various regions clearly.¡± ¡°F*ck, doesn¡¯t that mean that Bell is an expert? I thought this was the normal level of a survivalist.¡± ¡°Hehe, normal standard? What are you thinking? Look at the other streamers. Those are the normal standards. This is a true big shot.¡± Chapter 82 - Secretly Observing After enjoying the roasted snake meat, Bell¡¯s hunger was slightly satiated. However, this was already very good in the wilderness. At the same time, Scarlett and the others had finished eating. Bell said as he looked at the girls. ¡°Alright, our shelter is completed, and there is a temporary solution to the water problem, but we can¡¯t continue like this.¡± ¡°Everyone, take turns to guard tonight. We are not the only ones on this island. There are other contestants as well. It won¡¯t hurt to be careful.¡± ¡°Wake everyone up if you notice anything unusual.¡± ¡°Let¡¯s head to the middle of this island tomorrow and find a high point to start a fire.¡± ¡°We have to set a goal for ourselves. We can wait for two days there. If the fire is discovered by passing planes within two days, we can be saved. If there are still no planes after two days, we can only give up on this route and switch to using the bamboo raft to float back to the shore.¡± ¡°How is it? Does everyone agree?¡± Bell looked at the four of them and asked for their opinion. Natalie Portman asked curiously. ¡°Bell, don¡¯t we already have those banana trees? In this case, water is not a problem. As for food, we can find clams and oysters by the sea, it should be fine to last for a month or so. Why are you in a hurry to go out to sea?¡± Natalie Portman was very puzzled. The few of them were all on this deserted island together. In that case, they naturally had to choose a relatively safe route. No one could say for sure about the wind and waves on the sea. If anything happened to such a small raft, their lives could be in danger. Bell shook his head. ¡°Those banana trees can¡¯t maintain us for so long. They can only last for three days at most. If we continue to use it, the banana trees will wither after a few days.¡± ¡°That¡¯s why we don¡¯t have much time to waste.¡± Hearing Bell say this, they understood that they had thought too optimistically. ¡°In that case, I have no objections.¡± Scarlett Johansson was the first to speak. Then, Natalie Portman and the other three looked at each other and finally nodded. ¡°Since no one has any objections, this matter is settled. We will take turns to watch during the night. If there are any movements, we will inform everyone immediately.¡± It was already late at night by the time everything was settled. Bell was the first to watch guard. He sat in front of the fire and chatted with the audience. However, in his mind, he was constantly planning how to leave the island. In the depths of the forest were two figures. ¡°Hmph, I didn¡¯t expect our luck to be so good. We really encountered this brat.¡± ¡°What to do? This brat is doing a live broadcast. We can¡¯t do anything to him. We are not really alone out here. There is live broadcast equipment all around us.¡± The two people who spoke were the ones who had criticized Bell in the broadcast room. The leader of the two said. ¡°It¡¯s okay, don¡¯t worry. We¡¯ve already told the fans in the live-stream that we¡¯re going to rest. The live-stream has already been turned off.¡± ¡°No one will notice that we¡¯re watching him. Find a chance to create a coincidental encounter and take advantage of the popularity of the women beside him.¡± ¡°These are all top celebrities. As long as we have the slightest bit of connection, we don¡¯t have to worry about the future.¡± Both of their eyes lit up. The two of them had been carefully searching for traces of Bell since they arrived on the island. The heavens did not disappoint those who tried hard. During the day, the two of them finally discovered some of Bell¡¯s traces. After settling the teammates beside them, the two of them followed Bell¡¯s tracks to see where he had set up the camp. They were preparing to create a chance encounter with Bell. As long as they could defeat Bell in the live broadcast, the two of them would be able to gain a large number of fans. They might even be able to get to know these top celebrities. Compared to the internet celebrities in their teams, the popularity of these few people was worlds apart. The two of them were extremely tempted. ¡°I heard that they¡¯re preparing to head to the peak of the island. Let¡¯s go and take a look tomorrow.¡± ¡°After they set off tomorrow, we will think of a way to meet them. We will ask to form a team then.¡± ¡°If we perform well, we might be able to get some fans from this little brat Bell. I heard that his number of fans has already increased to more than ten million.¡± ¡°Mmm, there¡¯s really no justice in this world. Such a brat can actually get so many fans.¡± ¡°It¡¯s okay. I¡¯ll set something up on the way. When the time comes, we can show ourselves. As long as we can catch those few big fish beside him, our number of fans will quickly increase to the same number as his. No, it will definitely surpass his.¡± The two of them were excited. After the two of them left, Bell looked at the direction where the two of them had stopped. ¡®Are there other contestants nearby?¡¯ ¡®What are their intentions? Why didn¡¯t they show up after seeing us?¡¯ ¡®Or do they have other plans?¡¯ The two of them felt that they had hidden well. Little did they know that Bell had already discovered their traces. This was something he had expected long ago. After all, this island was only so big, it was normal to encounter other contestants. But according to Bell¡¯s thoughts, at the very least, the other party would have come out and greeted him. As for forming a team or not, that was a different matter. It was a little unexpected for them to retreat after secretly observing the situation. Bell became vigilant. While the broadcast was running, everyone¡¯s safety was somewhat ensured. There was no need to hide. However, the other party still did so. There must be a reason for this. There was a high chance that they had other motives for not revealing themselves. ¡®Forget it, let¡¯s not care about them for now. Even if they have some goals, they will have to appear before me anyway. I don¡¯t believe that they will go as far as fighting on this island.¡¯ ¡®Moreover, even if they attack, they might not be my match.¡¯ Although Bell was only an eight-year-old child, he had the system and top combat skills. His combat strength was stronger than ordinary adults. However, his physical strength was still lacking. ¡°System, is there any way to increase my strength?¡± Chapter 83 - Systems New Function, Catching Oysters Bell was very satisfied with his various survival skills. But an eight-year-old¡¯s body was always a weakness. Without enough strength, his survival options would be limited to a certain extent. Fortunately, he had the system¡¯s help. Perhaps he could find some solutions. The system¡¯s electronic voice sounded in Bell¡¯s head. ¡°Host, continue to accumulate popularity. The system will open new functions.¡± ¡°Host¡¯s current popularity score: 926.¡± ¡°Once you reach 1,000 points, you can activate the shop function.¡± Bell¡¯s eyes lit up. ¡°There are more new functions?¡± ¡°926, just a little more.¡± After such a long time, Bell was familiar with the system¡¯s popularity points. The growth of the system¡¯s popularity points relied mainly on two aspects. The first was rewards from fans. The second point was to increase the number of fans. According to the number of fans, every 10,000 more fans, he would gain a little popularity points. 2 Originally, his number should be enough to activate the new shop system, but because he had exchanged for some skills, it had not been activated yet. The system¡¯s exchange center only had some basic survival skills. There was nothing to increase his physical attributes. However, from the system¡¯s words, it seemed like the system¡¯s functions were yet to be fully activated. ¡°Maybe when the new function is activated, I can improve my physical condition.¡± With this in mind, Bell looked forward to it. ¡°Looks like I have to work hard to increase my fans.¡± The night passed peacefully. The five of them took turns to guard the night. Nothing happened that night. The other contestants who had been secretly observing Bell did not do anything at night. Feeling the sea breeze, Bell gradually woke up. He stretched his waist and stood up. The weather was not bad today. The sunlight on the sea was also abnormally bright. Even in his previous life, Bell had never been to the sea. Not to mention seeing the scene of the rising sun over the sea. Bell was a little dazed. At the same time, Scarlett and the others woke up. As the few of them woke up, the live broadcast room slowly became lively. ¡°The rising sun is quite beautiful.¡± ¡°The recording equipment of this program is really good. The quality is so good.¡± ¡°Host, what are you eating for breakfast?¡± The sun rose slowly. At dawn, the island that had seemed a little silent earlier was filled with vitality again. Some creatures that only moved in the day crawled out of their nests. From time to time, they could hear bird calls. ¡°It¡¯s rare to see such a beautiful scene. This can¡¯t be seen in the city.¡± Natalie Portman had already woken up. She walked to Bell and looked at the sun on the sea¡¯s surface. ¡°Alright, everyone, today is going to be hard. There are many things to do.¡± ¡°We¡¯re going to move to the high ground of this island and start a fire.¡± ¡°But before that, we have to resolve our breakfast problem and ensure that we have enough stamina to complete this task.¡± Scarlett looked at him in confusion. ¡°But we¡¯ve already finished eating what we had.¡± Natalie and the others also nodded. The coconut flesh yesterday was not much and could not remove their hunger at all. Their stomachs were already growling in the middle of the night. ¡°Then we have to find some food first?¡± Searching for food on this island did not seem to be a simple task. It might be a long time before they find food. Bell smiled. ¡°Don¡¯t worry. Didn¡¯t I say this before? Our backs are against the sea, and food is not a problem.¡± With that, Bell turned his gaze to a reef on the beach. ¡°There is plenty of food on the rocks by the sea for us to eat.¡± ¡°It was a little late yesterday. It¡¯s not safe to search by the reef at night, so I didn¡¯t go. But we can search now.¡± ¡°We should be able to find some sea urchins, shells, and small fish.¡± ¡°By the way, I can teach everyone a small trick.¡± ¡°If you are in the wilderness, try your best not to waste your energy catching some prey, because in this situation, your energy expenditure might exceed the energy replenishment from the prey.¡± ¡°Try to eat things that are easy to find and gather.¡± Bell had already walked to the reef by the sea. The others also followed. The few of them began to search around and quickly found something. ¡°Look here.¡± The camera zoomed in and Bell took out his hand from the seawater. A black oyster was in his hand. ¡°Oysters usually like attaching to these rocks. Moreover, these things are slow. As long as we find them, we will definitely be able to get them. We can find more of them here.¡± In less than half an hour, the five of them had caught dozens of oysters. Seeing that they had enough, the few of them stopped. ¡°Alright, they are about enough for us to fill our stomachs. Let¡¯s leave it at that for now.¡± ¡°We will boil some water and cook the oysters.¡± There was still some charcoal left from the previous night¡¯s fire. Bell did not need to spend as much effort as yesterday to start another fire. ¡°Host, aren¡¯t these oysters eaten raw? Why did you start a fire?¡± Some of the audience who lived by the sea were very curious. They had seen such things before. Bell shook his head when he saw this comment. ¡°Logically speaking, oysters can be eaten raw, and it tastes a little sweet.¡± ¡°But eating like this can easily cause diarrhea.¡± ¡°This might not be fatal under normal circumstances. After all, we can hydrate ourselves at any time.¡± ¡°But if you suffer from diarrhea on such a desolate island, that will be troublesome.¡± ¡°So we still have to cook them to kill bacteria and worms.¡± Everyone reacted. It was not the time to chase after the taste. The most important thing now was to survive. Bell filled the canteen with seawater. The water was quickly boiled, and the oysters started opening up after being cooked. Scarlett and the others looked at the oysters in the water and couldn¡¯t help but lick their lips. They were already extremely hungry. They had not eaten a decent meal for the entire day and night. ¡°Alright, it¡¯s time to eat. The seawater can cook the oysters. There¡¯s no need to add other seasonings since the seawater is salty. It should taste good.¡± As he spoke, Bell took out an oyster and cut open its shell with the dagger. The white and tender oyster meat inside the shell was revealed to everyone. Chapter 84 - Coincidental Meeting? Plotted for a Long Time! Bell handed the dagger to the girls. ¡°It can be eaten now.¡± Bell ate the oyster meat. ¡°The taste is good. Because of the seawater, it has a trace of saltiness. The meat is also very fresh and tender. It can be considered a delicacy.¡± Scarlett and the others ate like Bell did. The audience looked at the few of them and couldn¡¯t help but joke. ¡°As expected, this round is a food program.¡± ¡°In the previous rounds, I was sighing about how wonderful my life was. Why did my thought take a 180 degree in this round?¡± ¡°I¡¯m suddenly envious of the host ~¡± The several people quickly divided the over dozens of oysters and ate their fill. After cleaning up, Bell stood up. ¡°Alright, everyone, breakfast is settled. It¡¯s time to set off.¡± While speaking, Bell led Scarlett and the others to the middle of the island. Soon, he led the group to the place where he had discovered the banana trees yesterday. Before leaving, Bell found a few empty plastic bottles by the sea. Before leaving yesterday, Bell had made a blanket of banana leaves under the three holes in the banana trees. After a night, there was a lot of water on the leaves and it was even slightly overflowing. Bell quickly put the water in the cleaned plastic bottles. ¡°Alright, that¡¯s enough. The water dripping has become much slower.¡± ¡°This method of getting water is very harmful to the banana trees. Just like we said before, in this situation, three banana trees can at most provide us with three days of water.¡± ¡°I can only use this opportunity to store more water.¡± ¡°Hopefully, there will be a rainstorm before we run out of water.¡± Seeing the banana water, Natalie Portman licked her lips. Bell was not stingy and threw one bottle to her. Natalie Portman seemed to especially like this taste. After organizing everything, Bell continued to lead the team to the center. However, the journey was not as smooth as expected. ¡°If only I had a machete to open the path.¡± There were many thorny brambles in the forest. If they were not careful, they would scrape their clothes, and some would even scratch their skin. They had to move carefully. This caused them to consume a lot of energy. Fortunately, after some struggle, the few of them were about to reach the center. There were not as many weeds and thorns as before. Bell led the way with the wooden stick. He had encountered a poisonous snake yesterday, so it was safer for Scarlett and the others to walk behind him. Before long, the five of them stopped in front of a rock platform that was dozens of meters tall. Looking at the tall rock platform, Bell went forward to touch it. The surface of the rock was not as rough as in the desert. Instead, it was very smooth, making it impossible to stand on it. ¡°There¡¯s no way to climb this rock. Looks like we have to think of another way.¡± As Bell spoke, he looked around to see if they could go through a different area. Suddenly, a rustling sound came from behind the bushes. The five of them quickly turned around. Looking at the shaking grass, Bell stood in front of the four of the women. Although they did not find any large beasts along the way, they could not guarantee that there were no beasts on this island. Scarlett asked nervously. ¡°What¡¯s going on? There seems to be something in the grass.¡± ¡°Be careful.¡± Bell reminded seriously. The sound was getting closer and closer to them. Finally, the last layer of bushes was pushed aside. Ten men and women appeared in front of Bell and the others. It was not a large beast, but the other contestants. Seeing that it was not a beast, Scarlett and the others heaved a sigh of relief, but Bell¡¯s eyes narrowed. From the observation, it was clear that two groups had teamed up. However, for some reason, when Bell saw them appear here, he felt that there was something amiss. However, a trace of pride flashed across the faces of the two contestants when they saw Bell. Then, one of them stood up and walked to Bell¡¯s side, extending his hand. ¡°There are other contestants here too? What a coincidence. Hello, I know you. Bell, right? You¡¯re quite a famous person.¡± ¡°My name is Victor, and this is Hans.¡± Looking at the two men in front of him, Bell¡¯s thoughts raced. But soon, he smiled. ¡°Oh, hello. I didn¡¯t expect to meet other contestants here. Why are you here?¡± Bell wanted to test the other party¡¯s intentions. The two of them smiled. ¡°Oh, we also came to see if there was food. We didn¡¯t expect to meet you coincidentally. How are you guys? Do you want to team up?¡± The man spoke casually, but Bell could tell at a glance that these two were lying. As for finding food, that was even more nonsensical. Anyone who was normal in the head would know that in order to find food on such an island, they had to search around the forest or the sea. The center of the island was bare rock, not a place where there was food. Bell suddenly remembered the surveillance he had felt last night. He immediately became vigilant. There was a high chance that these two people had come here intentionally. Bell thought for a moment. ¡°If you want to form a team, forget it. We have other things to do. If you want to find food, you can go ahead.¡± With that, Bell prepared to leave with his team. Seeing that Bell was leaving, the two of them were in a hurry. They had put in so much effort. If they let Bell leave like this, wouldn¡¯t they have wasted their time watching him last night? The two of them had led their teams here specifically for Bell. Moreover, those female celebrities were also present. Everyone was streaming. It was a good time to use the camera to gain popularity. How could they give up like this? The leader of the two thought for a moment and said. ¡°From the looks of it, you guys want to climb over this rock platform. To be honest, climbing is my specialty.¡± The man looked very confident when he talked about climbing. Bell looked doubtful. He had already observed earlier that this rock looked like it could not be climbed. His rock climbing skills were at the peak, so his judgment could not be wrong. However, the man still said that. It could only be said that this person in front of him was just an amateur. ¡°I suggest you think carefully. It¡¯s easy to get into an accident if you climb it.¡± Bell reminded kindly. It was tens of meters tall. It would not be a joke if he fell. However, the man¡¯s eyes lit up. ¡°Haha, don¡¯t worry, Bell. Rock climbing of this level is not a problem for us at all. Just watch from below. If we find food later, we will give you some.¡± Their conversation was broadcast on the screen. Chapter 85 - Looking For Trouble and Framing Bell The man looked at Bell proudly. Bell frowned. These two people did not know what was good for them. He had kindly reminded the other party that they could not climb this place, but the other party actually mocked him. Bell finally understood their intention. They were here to find trouble with him and use his reputation as a stepping stone to get famous. Bell¡¯s reputation on the platform was not something ordinary streamers could compare to. His popularity could even compare to some top celebrities. This made many contestants who were also participating in this show extremely envious. Moreover, Bell was only an eight-year-old child who looked easy to bully. As time passed, someone naturally wanted to destroy his reputation. Bell was already considered a symbol of the entire Wilderness Survival program. He alone occupied more than 60% of the show¡¯s popularity. All the contestants knew that the fastest way to become famous in this situation was to find a top contestant in the industry and defeat him in his most outstanding area. It was naturally easier to gain attention by stepping on others to advance. But Bell was willing to bet. Anyway, he had already said that this was not a suitable place to climb. However, the two men in front of him were determined to do so. As long as they succeeded, the headlines tomorrow would definitely be ¡®A famous eight-year-old broadcaster¡¯s reputation is just a show¡¯. Then, these two men would become famous overnight. In fact, it was not only Bell, Scarlett also saw through their intentions. ¡°Bell, ignore them. If they want to climb, let them climb. Let¡¯s go.¡± Scarlett Johansson, who was also a top celebrity, had encountered many such situations. She knew that the more they bickered with such a person, the more pleased he would be, and they would have fallen into his trap. Natalie Portman nodded as well. ¡°That¡¯s right, Bell. Since they don¡¯t want to listen to your advice, let them be. We¡¯ll leave.¡± From the start, when Natalie Portman saw these two people, she realized that they were looking at her with ill intentions. It was not a perverted intention, but a scheming gaze. This gaze made the girls hate it. Victor and Hans¡¯ hearts tightened when they heard the female celebrities beside Bell say this. They were not only coveting the popularity of Bell, but also the top celebrities beside him. They had wanted to show off in front of them and then work with everyone to exclude Bell. When the time came, the two of them would lead the beautiful celebrities away from the desolate island. By then, a large number of networks would fall into their hands. They might even be able to get the beauties. Everything was perfect. This was a rare opportunity. If the two of them could easily do what Bell could not, wouldn¡¯t there be a large number of fans jumping to their side? This was equivalent to money. Under the temptation of benefits, the two of them completely ignored Bell¡¯s reminder. They wanted to do it no matter what. As long as they climbed the rock platform, a lot of reputation would fall into their hands. The two of them were extremely excited. However, the premise was that Bell and these female celebrities were present. The two of them stopped pretending. They looked at each other, and Victor said, ¡°Hehe, it¡¯s not that we don¡¯t want to listen to your advice, but some people don¡¯t deserve their reputation. They can¡¯t even climb up such an ordinary rock platform and are still giving random explanations, taking a detour for no reason.¡± ¡°That¡¯s right. Can¡¯t this rock platform be climbed with just one hand? He even said that it¡¯s not suitable to climb. I think he¡¯s just afraid that he won¡¯t be able to do it and will expose himself.¡± At this point, the two of them could not be bothered to continue pretending. As long as they could make Bell remain here, everything would be worth it. Their words had a hidden meaning. Everyone could tell that the two of them were clearly provoking Bell. Scarlett couldn¡¯t sit still when she heard the two of them. ¡°You! Bell reminded you kindly. What do you mean by that?¡± ¡°That¡¯s right, are the other contestants of this program like them as well? Doing this in front of so many audience?¡± Natalie Portman also chimed in. The other women also nodded. ¡°That¡¯s right, the two of you better apologize to Bell. Otherwise, I will report this to the production team. For a contestant with such quality to participate in the show, it will undoubtedly lower the reputation of the show.¡± Although the few of them had not interacted for long, Bell¡¯s actions over the past two days had left a good impression on them. They naturally could not watch two outsiders bully Bell like this. Seeing the top celebrities beside Bell so agitated, Victor and Hans were stunned. They looked at their Internet celebrity teammates and realized that they had also taken two steps back. The two of them realized that their actions had angered everyone. There were already comments in the live-stream. ¡°What kind of host is this? Bell kindly reminded them, but they actually mocked and ridiculed him?¡± ¡°Let¡¯s leave, let¡¯s leave.¡± ¡°Hehe, brothers, report them.¡± There was already an uproar in the live stream. Seeing that the situation was getting out of control, the two of them made up their minds. ¡°Hmph, we don¡¯t know what¡¯s good for us? You were all fooled by this kid! This guy is not even an expert in wilderness survival. Everything he did was a show. Today, we are going to expose his true colors.¡± ¡°This guy is using his age and appearance to deceive the audience. Today, we will hammer him and let everyone see the truth.¡± The moment the two of them said this, the live-stream exploded. Scarlett Johansson and the others looked incredulous at first, then, it turned to anger. These two guys were too shameless. They actually accused Bell¡¯s show as being staged. Scarlett knew best if Bell was following a script. Back in the Alps, Scarlett had survived because of Bell. Bell was skilled in various survival techniques that ordinary people did not know. But even if Scarlett Johansson knew, the audience could not be sure. As the two of them spoke, Scarlett Johansson saw that the comments in Bell¡¯s live-stream were already starting to question. The audience were divided into two groups. One side thought that Bell was not following a script and believed that the content of Bell¡¯s live broadcast was real. The other side were filled with malice and began to question the authenticity of Bell¡¯s live broadcast. Chapter 86 - Confrontation ¡°No way. Is Bell¡¯s live-stream really just a show?¡± ¡°I knew it, how could an eight-year-old do Wilderness Survival? So it was just a gimmick.¡± ¡°Nonsense. These two are just trying to take advantage of Bell¡¯s popularity and frame him.¡± ¡°Previous poster, how do you know these two are lying? You were there?¡± ¡°The previous comment belongs to a double standard f*cker.¡± The comments in the live-stream were heating up. In the broadcast room, the production team also noticed the situation on Bell¡¯s side. At this moment, the production team was already gnashing their teeth in anger. ¡°What¡¯s wrong with these two? Immediately ban them from competing!¡± The program leader was furious. He had just prepared to invest more in Bell and even opened an exclusive channel for him. Now, after the commotion caused by these two people, all their investment might be wasted. The commotion of the public opinion might even affect the reputation of the program. After all, Bell was a contestant supported by the show. If this talk was confirmed, wouldn¡¯t it mean that the production team was helping Bell cheat? However, after the man finished speaking, the senior public relations staff looked at each other. ¡°Leader, I¡¯m afraid that¡¯s not possible. The pace of the show is already decided. If these two contestants are banned, it will only say that Bell¡¯s actions were staged.¡± ¡°By then, all the audience will blame it on us.¡± The person-in-charge said awkwardly. The producer calmed down. He looked at the people beside him. ¡°We can¡¯t do anything to these two contestants?¡± The producer was unwilling to give up. ¡°Leader, if it were before the two of them said these words, we could deal with these two contestants as we pleased. But now, if we do anything, we can¡¯t prove Bell¡¯s innocence. We can¡¯t do anything to these two contestants in the future as well. You have to know that words can be powerful, and public anger is difficult to handle.¡± Right now, many viewers in the live-stream thought that the production team was biased against Bell and helped him deceive the audience. At this moment, if the production team took the initiative to support Bell and punished these two instigators, the public opinion would immediately shift to the other party. Moreover, the Wilderness Survival program that they had painstakingly created would be completely destroyed. This was a situation that no one wanted to see. Everyone gritted their teeth and could not think of anything. ¡°The only way is to see if Bell can resolve this matter.¡± ¡°As long as Bell can prove his ability in front of the screen, everything will be fine.¡± A public relations officer said quietly. The producer nodded and fell silent for a while. At the same time, Bell looked at the smug looks of the two people in front of him and felt extreme contempt. Scarlett looked at Bell, anxious for him. Natalie Portman went forward and grabbed Bell. ¡°Don¡¯t worry about it, Bell. We all know whether you¡¯re posing or not. We¡¯ll jointly vouch for you later.¡± ¡°That¡¯s right, Bell, ignore this kind of person.¡± Annie Hathaway nodded in agreement. As for Keira Knightley, she looked at the two aggressive troublemakers and threatened, ¡°I suggest that the two of you think carefully before you start a rumor. Apologize to Bell now and we can pretend that nothing happened. Otherwise, after the recording is over, I will announce your actions to the entire media industry.¡± Keira Knightley was a very righteous person. In addition, having interacted with Bell for the past few days, they could already be considered friends. Seeing that her friend was in trouble, it was impossible for her to ignore it. Compared to the others, what Keira Knightley wanted to do more was to punish these two clowns. If it were people who knew Keira, they would know that she was really angry right now. But Victor and Hans were just two unknown streamers. The two of them, who were crazy over fame, did not care about Keira¡¯s threat at all. They were even looking forward to it. Interacting with a movie star of such level was simply making a killing. Looking at Keira Knightley, they said proudly, ¡°Hehe, you can report us if you want. A man of moral integrity does not fear any slanderous attack. You guys have colluded with the program to protect this kid.¡± ¡°That¡¯s right, you were invited by the production team. You¡¯re all in it together.¡± Victor and Hans no longer placed their hopes on the four female celebrities. After all, the four people in front of them did not seem to have a good impression of the two of them. Wanting to build a relationship with them was too difficult now. In that case, they might as well step on Bell ruthlessly. As long as they could trample on Bell and obtain his fans, it would be enough for the two of them to eat for the rest of their lives. ¡°You!¡± Keira Knightley did not expect them to be so shameless. Not only were they dragging Bell down, but they wanted to go against them four as well. They really did not know what they were getting into. Unlike Bell who did not have a company behind him, the four of them were all movie queens with the support of powerful companies. The reputation of a celebrity was very important. If the reputation collapsed, the situation would be very serious. Therefore, after this incident, the companies behind the four of them would definitely settle the score with these two. It was only a matter of time before the two of them collapsed. The troublemakers, Victor and Hans, had already stirred up a hornet¡¯s nest. However, at this point, they did not care. The female celebrities wanted to continue arguing. Bell stopped them. ¡°Alright, there¡¯s no need to say anything else. This matter is my problem. The two of them are here for me. I¡¯ll resolve it myself.¡± If they continued to fight, the female celebrities might be implicated. This was his problem, and Bell did not want to implicate them. ¡°Bell, it¡¯s not appropriate for you to do this, right?¡± Scarlett said worriedly. In this situation, the best solution for Bell was to not speak and wait for the matter to subside. Bell shook his head and walked to Victor and Hans. ¡°Aren¡¯t you saying that I am posing? Bring out the evidence. As long as you show us strong evidence, I will withdraw from this Wilderness Survival program from now on and will no longer record any videos related to it.¡± Bell¡¯s aura changed, as if he had become a different person. He did not look like an eight-year-old child at all. Instead, he looked more like an adult who had experienced many things. Although he was looking up at the two of them, Victor and Hans felt that Bell had suddenly become taller. His aura made the two of them dazed. Chapter 87 - Doubts Seeing Bell¡¯s aura suddenly change, Victor and Hans were stunned. However, the two of them quickly reacted. ¡°Evidence? Isn¡¯t that simple? Didn¡¯t you say that you can¡¯t climb up this rock platform? Coincidentally, the two of us know a thing or two about rock climbing. As long as I can climb up this rock platform, it naturally means that you¡¯re deceiving the audience and you don¡¯t know anything about wilderness survival.¡± Scarlett said agitatedly, ¡°Are the two of you that shameless? Bell only said that this rock platform is not suitable for climbing. Moreover, it¡¯s just some rock climbing technique. How can it prove that Bell doesn¡¯t know about wilderness survival?¡± ¡°That has nothing to do with us. He said it himself. Moreover, if he¡¯s unwilling, he can refuse. No one is forcing him.¡± The two of them raised their eyebrows and said disdainfully. The two of them wished that Bell would not agree. That way, they could save some effort. After all, the two of them were not sure if Bell really did not know about wilderness survival. Bell¡¯s show being staged was only their guess. Moreover, this ambiguous situation was beneficial to both of them. Their popularity could last longer like this. Seeing their shameless appearance, Scarlett Johansson was agitated and wanted to punch them. ¡°Alright, I¡¯ve said it already. I¡¯ll resolve it myself. Since you think this rock platform can be climbed, give it a try. If you can climb up, my previous words will still count.¡± Bell made the decision. The women beside him wanted to say something, but Bell waved his hand and stopped them. Seeing that Bell had made the decision, the others stopped talking. ¡°That¡¯s what you said. The audience is watching. If we climb this rock platform, you will have to withdraw from Wilderness Survival and won¡¯t be able to record similar programs in the future.¡± Their eyes lit up. They repeated Bell¡¯s words again, clearly preparing to step on him and prevent him from going back on his words. Hearing that Bell might not be able to continue streaming, some fans who believed in Bell began to worry. ¡°Host, why don¡¯t we forget about it? This rock platform is not high to begin with. There¡¯s no need to be angry with this kind of person.¡± ¡°That¡¯s right. It¡¯s not worth wasting your future over such a small matter. We believe in you.¡± Bell had a lot of fans. Even if some fans thought that Bell was just putting on a show, a large portion of them still felt that this matter was not as the other party had said. Bell smiled at the comments and did not answer. Instead, he looked at Victor and Hans. ¡°I did say that, and I admit that it counts.¡± ¡°But let me give you one last piece of advice. Don¡¯t think that you can climb this rock platform with just a little rock climbing proficiency. The danger here is much greater than you imagine. Don¡¯t lose your life because of a little benefit.¡± Bell said solemnly. He had good intentions. After all, this rock platform was indeed very dangerous. The bottom of the rock platform was smooth, and there were severe weathering marks on top. Clearly, there was a river here before, making the rocks at the bottom very smooth and not easy to step on. As for the upper section, because there was no water, it had been weathered. It was not something rock climbers could climb easily. A mistake in judgment could cause them to fall from the top. At a height of tens of meters, even falling on soft ground would be unbearable. Although he hated the two people in front of him, Bell did not hate them to the point of wanting their lives, so he reminded them. Unfortunately, the two of them were already blinded by benefits. Hearing that Bell really agreed, the two of them were delighted. ¡°Stop acting mysterious. Since you¡¯ve agreed, I¡¯ll let you broaden your horizons today. Not any Tom, Dick or Harry can be a survival expert.¡± ¡°Dear audience and friends, please be our witness today. We are climbing this rock platform now. As long as we can climb up, it will prove that some people are liars.¡± At this moment, some fans who were watching the show also became lively. ¡°No way, they are actually taking it so far.¡± ¡°Bell said earlier that they can¡¯t climb this rock platform. It won¡¯t be good if there is danger.¡± ¡°Maybe Bell is really a cheat. The reason why he said that is because he doesn¡¯t dare to climb it.¡± Because of Victor and Hans, the popularity of Bell and the other two¡¯s live-stream increased exponentially. In just a short while, the two sides¡¯ live-streams had more than a million viewers. Seeing that the two of them were getting ready to climb the rock platform, Scarlett couldn¡¯t help but worry for Bell. ¡°Bell, what if they really climb up? How can you be so impulsive?¡± Scarlett was angry. She regretted it a little. She should not have let Bell decide on his own. She should have ignored such clowns who wanted to take advantage of their popularity. She would have directly asked the company to ban these two people. By then, the two of them would naturally be obedient. But Bell shook his head. ¡°With their standards? If anyone can contact the organizer of the show, please ask them to send the rescue team, lest it lead to trouble.¡± Bell sounded very confident. This also made the audience in the live-stream wonder where Bell¡¯s confidence came from. ¡°F*ck, the host is too calm.¡± ¡°Host, how can you be sure that he can¡¯t climb it?¡± ¡°If the production team comes and he climbs up, the host can directly withdraw from the competition.¡± Bell did not explain much to these fans who did not believe him. His words would be proved soon anyway. Seeing how confident Bell was, some fans became serious and called the production team. The middle-aged leader hesitated for a moment and looked at the staff. ¡°The fans in Bell¡¯s live-stream said that they want us to send some rescue personnel. Do you think we should send them?¡± After all, no one had really encountered an accident. If the rescue team went and nothing happened, Bell would really lose his fans. But if someone really died, it would not be good. Finally, a staff member said, ¡°Leader, with Bell¡¯s previous performance, he does have a say in the survival field.¡± ¡°Since he said that this matter is very dangerous, we have to send a rescue team to take a look.¡± ¡°Moreover, if Bell¡¯s words are not true, it won¡¯t be easy for him to clean up the mess anyway. It doesn¡¯t matter if he made a mistake or not now.¡± ¡°That¡¯s right, human life is number one.¡± Chapter 88 - Come True The leader nodded at the explanation. ¡°Alright, in that case, this matter is settled. Like what Bell said, send a rescue team.¡± At the same time, on the deserted island, Victor and Hans had walked to the bottom of the smooth rock platform. Touching the rock wall, the two of them could not help but feel a trace of nervousness. Saying it was one thing, but doing it was another. Although the two of them had mocked Bell earlier, they were still a little afraid when it was their turn. Scarlett, who was standing beside Bell, couldn¡¯t help but snort when she saw the two of them dawdling. ¡°Are the two of you doing it or not? Weren¡¯t you quite awesome just now? You call yourselves experts and survivalists, so why are you afraid now?¡± ¡°That¡¯s right. If you can¡¯t do it, hurry up and apologize to Bell.¡± Scarlett Johansson and Natalie Portman spoke sarcastically. Keira Knightley said nothing. With the situation developing to this point, it was no longer something that could be resolved with a simple apology. Keira Knightley had already decided to contact the company behind her after this program was completed. These two people had slandered her reputation, and she had to make them pay the price. The people beside Bell had different thoughts, but without exception, they all hated these two people. The two people who were originally a little hesitant could not sit still when they heard this. ¡°Hmph, what¡¯s so amazing about it? It¡¯s just a rock platform. Let¡¯s climb up and expose some people¡¯s true colors.¡± Bell stood aside and watched the show like his teammates, not planning to speak. Seeing that Bell had not said a word, the two of them looked at each other and felt relieved. Bell¡¯s silence made the two of them think that it was because Bell was feeling guilty. With this in mind, the two of them felt much more at ease. As he spoke, they climbed up the wall. Seeing the two of them begin to climb, everyone present held their breaths. The cameras were all focused on them. ¡®The climb began. Although the rock wall below was a little smooth, the two of them still climbed it methodically. After all, although the surface was smooth, there were still some footholds. Bell stood aside silently, but Scarlett Johansson was worried. ¡°Bell, can these two succeed?¡± Although Bell had said that it was very difficult for these two to succeed, this concerned Bell¡¯s future after all. Scarlett Johansson could not be at ease. Bell shook his head. It was not obvious from the current situation. After all, the two of them had just begun. It was not difficult to climb the rocks on the lower level. However, the higher they went, the smoother the rocks would be. Moreover, the number of places they could use as footholds would decrease. Further up were weathered rocks. It was not yet time for the two of them to encounter trouble. By the time the two of them climbed to about seven to eight meters, they would not be able to find a foothold, and their stamina would start to drain. At that time, the test would truly begin. Victor and Hans had already overcome their initial hesitation. The two of them realized that although this rock platform was smooth, it was not as dangerous as they had imagined. They were relieved. ¡°As expected, this Bell is just bluffing.¡± ¡°Looks like we were correct to take the gamble.¡± Victor thought. As the two of them adapted to the climb, they began to imagine the scene after the two of them climbed to the top. Even the audience could not help but feel doubtful when they saw how easily Victor and Hans climbed. ¡°What¡¯s going on? From the looks of it, this rock platform isn¡¯t as difficult as Bell said.¡± ¡°Is it really like these two people said, that Bell¡¯s previous actions were all scripted?¡± Seeing the actions of Victor and Hans, even some of the people who had supported Bell before began to waver. Natalie, Keira, Anne, and Scarlett were worried for Bell. In this situation, if those two really climbed up, there was no way the issue of Bell¡¯s show being staged could be cleared. It would be almost impossible for Bell to continue in the wilderness survival field in the future. But when they looked at Bell, they realized that his expression was different from their nervousness. He was very calm as if the matter before him had nothing to do with him. Scarlett couldn¡¯t help but be speechless. While everyone¡¯s hearts were beginning to waver, Victor and Hans did not have it as easy as the others thought. Time passed slowly when someone suddenly realized something. ¡°What¡¯s going on? Am I seeing things? Why do I feel like these two haven¡¯t moved for a long time?¡± ¡°Me too. I feel like these two haven¡¯t moved since they climbed to about eight to nine meters.¡± ¡°Look carefully, those two seem to be trembling.¡± With the appearance of these comments, the comments that questioned Bell¡¯s ability were quickly covered. On the wall, Victor and Hans were feeling bitter. The contempt in their hearts had completely disappeared. The two of them realized that they were stuck when they reached this height. They were in a state of being unable to go up or down. Moreover, because of the long period of using strength in their fingers and legs, their stamina was quickly dissipating. The audience also saw the abnormality. ¡°What¡¯s going on? Why aren¡¯t the two of them climbing up?¡± Scarlett was puzzled. ¡°It¡¯s not that they are not climbing up, but they can¡¯t.¡± Bell said. Hearing Bell¡¯s words, everyone turned around with curiosity. Bell did not keep the audience in suspense. ¡°Just now, I said that this rock platform is not easy to climb. The main reason is that the bottom part of this platform is too smooth. There is a small area to put force in, so it has a high requirement on the stamina of the rock climbers.¡± ¡°The smaller the friction area, the more stamina is needed to maintain stability.¡± Bell explained. ¡°Are you saying that these two are exhausted?¡± Keira asked. Bell shook his head. ¡°No, it¡¯s not just a matter of stamina. Because of the river that flowed here in the past, the two of them should be unable to find a foothold at their current spot. In addition, their stamina is insufficient to support a long distance jump on the rock wall.¡± ¡°If this goes on, the two of them will fall soon.¡± Chapter 89 - Even Bell Cant Do Anything? Everyone was shocked to hear that the two might fall soon. They were eight to nine meters away. At this height, even if they did not die, they would definitely fracture some bones. In such a desolate island environment, having their limbs broken was no different from death. Moreover, if the rescue was not timely, they might be permanently disabled. Hearing Bell¡¯s words, the already nervous two people felt even more pressure. The two of them were really flustered. Now that the situation had progressed to this stage, if it was really as Bell said, the bone fracture would be a small matter. This matter had already blown up, and tens of millions of viewers were watching them. If they failed at this moment, the two of them could say goodbye to this Wilderness Survival program in the future. ¡°What to do, can we really not climb up?¡± Victor and Hans were anxious as they kept looking around for a place to climb. In the broadcast room, Bear and Ed looked at the two of them on the screen and shook their heads. ¡°These two probably won¡¯t be able to hold on for long. Just like Bell said, this smooth rock wall is not suitable for climbing at all.¡± ¡°Looks like these two young people will have to suffer. In this situation, suffering a bone fracture is the same as withdrawing from the competition. These two might have to rest for a long time.¡± Bear and Ed spoke. However, the audience curled their lips at Ed¡¯s words. Victor and Hans had slandered Bell so openly. It would not be as simple as resting for a while. By the time this program ended, the two of them could probably announce their withdrawal from the live streaming industry. Of course, this was all in the future. The audience wanted to see the two of them fail even more. At this moment, the comments in everyone¡¯s live-stream and the production team¡¯s broadcast room had completely changed. Everyone was not discussing the problem of whether Bell¡¯s show was staged or not, but how long these two people could hold on. In the station leader¡¯s office, the middle-aged man had a serious expression. ¡°How long will it take for the rescue team we sent to arrive?¡± At this moment, the security team¡¯s leader was very glad that he had listened to Bell¡¯s suggestion. In this situation, it was just a matter of time before the two of them fell. The middle-aged man did not care if they broke their legs. As long as the rescue was done in time, it would not be a problem to preserve their lives. This was enough for the production team. The middle-aged man was even secretly delighted. If these two people did not succeed, it meant that Bell¡¯s image would not collapse. At the same time, this incident made the man realize a problem. Since someone could question the authenticity of Bell¡¯s live broadcast, it was difficult to guarantee that it would not happen again. They had to think of a way to resolve this matter completely. The man thought to himself. ¡°Leader, our rescue team has been dispatched for a while, but from the looks of it, the two of them can¡¯t hold on much longer. I¡¯m afraid they won¡¯t be able to wait for the rescue team.¡± The staff looked worried. Although theoretically speaking, a height of eight to nine meters would not cause death, it still depended on the situation and the location of the collision. If a life-threatening accident really happened in front of many audience, this matter would really turn bad. It might even cause this program to be stopped. This was something no one wanted to see. The middle-aged man frowned again. ¡°How long will it take for the fastest rescue team to arrive?¡± ¡°A conservative estimate would take half an hour.¡± ¡°Half an hour?¡± The middle-aged man muttered. He looked at the screen and the time. The two of them clearly could not last for half an hour. It would be a miracle if they could last ten minutes. It would be bad if an accident really happened. Suddenly, the man seemed to think of something and looked in Bell¡¯s direction. ¡°How could I have forgotten about this kid?¡± ¡°Contact Bell. He¡¯s an expert in wilderness survival. Let¡¯s see if there¡¯s any way to save these two people.¡± The middle-aged man said seriously. At this moment, the middle-aged male leader had already admitted Bell¡¯s ability. Although Bell was still young, through the previous live broadcasts, the middle-aged man realized that Bell definitely had the right to speak in the field of wilderness survival. He had a way to resolve even the worst situation. After all, when Scarlett Johansson fell into the ice lake, it was Bell who saved her at the moment of life and death. They could encounter any situation in wilderness survival, so they believed that Bell had a way to solve this issue as well. The technicians hesitated for a moment before deciding to follow the instructions. On the deserted island, Bell was looking at the two people on the wall. Their backs were drenched in sweat. The fingers that were holding onto the rock were trembling, and they could fall at any moment. At this moment, a different comment appeared in Bell¡¯s live-stream. The words were written in red and were in large and bold font, making them very eye-catching. ¡°Host, Mr. Bell, we are the production team of Wilderness Survival. The two contestants in front of you are in a very dangerous situation. The rescue team will probably take another 30 minutes to arrive. Can you think of a way to save the two of them?¡± Seeing this comment, Bell was stunned, but he quickly reacted. After all, these live broadcast equipment were provided by the production team. It did not seem like it would be difficult to contact him through the live broadcast. Similarly, as this comment appeared, the fans in Bell¡¯s live-stream exploded. ¡°F*ck, even the production team appeared.¡± ¡°Bell is awesome. Even the production team has to ask for his help.¡± ¡°Host, do you have a way? Although these two people are very hateful, it wouldn¡¯t be good if someone died.¡± ¡°I knew that Bell couldn¡¯t be posing. Otherwise, why would the production team ask Bell for help in this situation?¡± Instantly, the news of the production team seeking help from Bell spread throughout the industry. At the same time, it also indirectly proved Bell¡¯s ability. Scarlett and the other women were also happy for Bell. But at this moment, Bell was thinking of something else. ¡°The situation now is quite troublesome. Even if I want to rescue them, I don¡¯t have a suitable tool.¡± Bell said truthfully. In the broadcast room, the middle-aged man was disappointed. ¡°Is there nothing Bell can do?¡± ¡°Looks like my expectations are too high.¡± In the live-stream, they were disappointed when they heard Bell. After all, they had seen with their own eyes that Bell had displayed outstanding skills in the survival field. Even in a life and death situation, he could think of a way to survive. But Bell said that he had no idea. Some mocking fans even commented: ¡°I think Bell has a way, but he doesn¡¯t want to save these two people who have offended him.¡± Chapter 90 - Quick Face Instantly, many people in front of the screen were disappointed in Bell. Some people even criticized Bell for not saving them. Scarlett Johansson and the other female celebrities gritted their teeth angrily when they saw the comments. ¡°These two people were the ones who provoked Bell earlier, but now that they can¡¯t get down, the responsibility is pushed to Bell? This is too much!¡± Natalie Portman was also very angry. There were too many hypocrites on the screen, and they had no choice. The next second, Bell said. ¡°But I have a way to let them endure for a while.¡± The middle-aged man¡¯s eyes lit up. Bell continued. ¡°This is the wilderness after all. I don¡¯t have any tools on me. They have climbed so high, so I can¡¯t go to save them.¡± ¡°But I can teach them some rock climbing techniques to let them hold on to the rock wall for a while. Maybe they can endure till the rescue team arrives.¡± Bell said slowly. The middle-aged man in the broadcast room quickly nodded. ¡°Alright, tell Bell to hand this method to those two. It won¡¯t be good if an accident happens.¡± In this situation, the two of them had failed to climb the rock platform, clearing some of the slanders about Bell. The middle-aged man was only concerned about whether these two lived or not. If they died, it would greatly affect the program. On Bell¡¯s screen in the live-stream, another series of comments appeared. ¡°Mr. Bell, please tell them this method. We can¡¯t thank you enough.¡± Seeing the comments on the screen, Bell suddenly smiled. ¡°Of course, I can teach it to them, but I don¡¯t know if they are willing to learn it. After all, the two of them questioned my ability.¡± ¡°Moreover, these two people also said that they are rock climbers. I am only going to teach them some basic theories. Normally, they should know about them.¡± Everyone immediately understood. Scarlett and the other girls couldn¡¯t help but laugh when they heard Bell. No wonder Bell had not said anything earlier. He was waiting for the two of them. Hearing Bell¡¯s words, Victor and Hans¡¯ hearts sank. Clearly, Bell wanted them to beg him personally. But if they did that, wouldn¡¯t it be a slap to their face? All those things they said would be in vain. Moreover, the two of them would definitely have to withdraw from this Wilderness Survival platform. At that moment, the two of them regretted their actions. ¡°Damn it, this fellow knew that we would encounter such trouble. This was all planned by him!¡± ¡°He¡¯s so young, but he can scheme so deeply.¡± Victor and Hans cursed Bell for being cunning, but the soreness in their arms and feet was a reminder that they were reaching their limits. They looked at the ground that was eight to nine meters away from them. Then, they looked at the high cliff. Hans was the first to collapse. ¡°Mr. Bell, I¡¯m willing to learn!¡± At this moment, Hans¡¯ stamina had reached its limit and he could fall at any moment. At such a high distance, he might really die. Bell said, ¡°Mr. Hans, you have to think carefully. I¡¯m just imparting some basic rock climbing knowledge. Moreover, the two of you are rock climbers. Don¡¯t tell me you don¡¯t even know the basics?¡± Scarlett covered her mouth and smiled secretly. Bell was simply killing them and forcing them to expose themselves. This was simply a matter of double happiness. Come and read on our website wuxia worldsite. Thanks Glancing at Bell, Scarlett Johansson rolled her eyes. ¡®Why didn¡¯t I notice this before? This fellow is actually so vengeful. To think that I was worried about him just now.¡¯ Natalie and the others also looked at Bell. At this point, everyone knew that not only did Bell not suffer any loss because of these two people, he would also gain a lot of popularity. ¡®Although this guy is young, he thinks more deeply than ordinary adults. It¡¯s really surprising.¡¯ Keira Knightley thought to herself. Seeing that the two of them were in a dilemma, Keira Knightley had no intention of taking revenge on them later. Because this situation was already destined to destroy their reputation, and they would not be able to appear in front of the public in the future. On the wall, Hans looked at Victor with cold sweat. ¡°Damn it! We can¡¯t give in to him! Otherwise, all our previous actions will be in vain.¡± Victor was still unwilling to give up and said to Hans. However, Hans was already in a mess. Under the threat of death, how could anyone care about their reputation? Hans shouted. ¡°Mr. Bell, please save me. I take back my words. I¡¯m not a rock climbing expert at all.¡± The moment Hans said this, the comments on the screen changed. ¡°As expected, these two were just here to take advantage of Bell¡¯s popularity.¡± ¡°Wow, such a fast face-slapping.¡± ¡°These two will probably be on the news tomorrow.¡± ¡°There¡¯s really no one who can compete with them in terms of going to such an extent for popularity. They even risked their lives.¡± Victor paled at Hans¡¯ words. ¡°Damn it, you fool! Do you know what you¡¯re talking about? You¡¯re killing me!¡± Victor was still unwilling to give up on the beautiful life that had already left him. He thought that he would be able to climb up the rock platform if he persisted for a while. In fact, he did not believe that Bell would really leave him to die. Sooner or later, Bell would not be able to withstand the pressure and tell them the method. He would say that he had not heard Bell at all. If they admitted perfunctorily that this rock platform was indeed not suitable for climbing, the two of them would not have to leave the platform. Although Hans¡¯ words had saved their lives, it had also ruined their future. Of course, this was all Victor¡¯s thoughts. Bell smiled. ¡°You¡¯re quite persevering.¡± Right now, one of the two had already admitted defeat, while the other looked like he was going to hold on until the end. Bell was not a kind person. He did not believe revenge is a dish best served cold. His belief was that revenge had to be served quickly. Since he had the chance, he naturally had to use it. He looked at Victor and Hans and said regretfully. ¡°Mr. Hans, although you said that, I¡¯m sorry. Mr. Victor is clearly not willing to let me help. I believe he has a way to make you last longer. In that case, I dib;t want to meddle in your affairs.¡± 1 Read latest Chapters at Wuxia World . Site Only Bell paused and looked at Victor, who had been refusing to beg for mercy. ¡°Mr. Victor, can you hear me?¡± Bell had a smile on his face, while Victor dug his fingers into the wall and did not say a word. He was determined to pretend that he could not hear anything. But the next second, Bell¡¯s words almost made him vomit blood. ¡°Unfortunately, it seems like Mr. Victor can¡¯t hear us. Even if I say this, it will be useless. They can only pray for themselves.¡± Chapter 91 - Accident Hearing Bell¡¯s words, Victor, who had made up his mind not to speak, was so angry that he spat out a mouthful of blood. ¡°Damn it! This guy definitely did it on purpose.¡± Victor had thought that since the other party would tell the method to Hans, he would be able to listen to it as well. There was no way he could save Hans; the latter had to rely on himself. However, he did not expect Bell to be so cunning. If he did not admit defeat, Bell would really leave them in the lurch. In the broadcast room, the middle-aged man saw everything that was happening. Seeing that Victor was still continuing to foolishly persist, he was so angry that his gums were about to bleed from grinding his teeth. ¡°What is this fool doing? The situation has already reached this extent, yet he wants to keep on lying to himself!¡± The man had long seen through the situation of Victor and Hans wanting to gain popularity. Moreover, the middle-aged man had already sentenced them to death. There would definitely not be a place for the two of them in Wilderness Survival in the future. However, Victor and Hans were still fantasizing. To be precise, Victor, that fool, actually felt that as long as he pretended not to hear anything, he could pretend that nothing had happened. He was simply burying his head in the sand like an ostrich. Helpless, the middle-aged man could only get his staff to announce a piece of news to the channels of Victor and Hans. ¡°Mr. Victor, Mr. Hans, the two of you are in a very dangerous situation. Do you want help or not? If you need help, say it immediately; at the same time, I will judge you to have lost the qualification to participate in the competition. If you don¡¯t need help, according to the agreement signed before the show, the two of you will be responsible for the consequences.¡± The man was very clear that since these two people were seeking death and insisted on holding on, they might as well cut ties and let the two of them be responsible for all the problems. Looking at the comment in their streams, Victor finally could not pretend anymore. He could pretend to not have heard Bell¡¯s words, but it would be laughable if he continued to pretend now. Hans did not hesitate. ¡°I can¡¯t take it anymore. Quick! Save me!¡± But Bell was still not moved. Instead, he looked at Victor. Hans knew that Bell would definitely not help as long as Victor did not ask. Helpless, Hans could only shout at Victor, ¡°Victor, stop pretending. You saw the messages on the screen and heard Bell¡¯s words. If you want to die, go ahead. Don¡¯t implicate me. Hurry up and ask for help!¡± These words of Hans could be said to have completely destroyed Victor¡¯s pretense. Victor¡¯s expression darkened. He looked at the ground below and the rock platform above. Victor gritted his teeth. ¡°Damnit, I can¡¯t give in to him. It¡¯s just a rock platform. Even without his help, I can still climb it.¡± To be honest, after searching around, he saw a protruding rock on his left. However, the rock was nearly a meter away. That was not something he could reach. Thinking about the consequences of failure, Victor gritted his teeth and reached out to the rock before anyone could react. He used all his strength in this. Seeing Victor¡¯s actions, even Hans was shocked. He could not believe that Victor dared to do this. This was no different from courting death. However, it was unknown if it was because facing death had stimulated his potential or because of his desire and paranoia. He exceeded his limits and succeeded in grabbing the rock. Even the people below were shocked. Come and read on our website wuxia worldsite. Thanks ¡°Oh my god, he succeeded, he succeeded!¡± The audience widened their eyes. Victor smiled. After taking this step, things were much easier. He had already seen the rock layer above. The difficulty was not that high. It was not too smooth and there were many places to climb. At this moment, he was about ten meters away from reaching the top. As long as he continued to persist, he would definitely be able to climb it. Bell¡¯s reputation would be destroyed and he would win a large number of fans. ¡®This is good, I don¡¯t have to share the fans with Hans.¡¯ Thinking of the beautiful future, Victor couldn¡¯t help but look down, wanting to see Bell¡¯s shocked expression. But when he looked at Bell, he was surprised to find a trace of mockery on Bell¡¯s lips. At this moment, Victor¡¯s heart tightened. The rock in his hand seemed to have reached its limit and loosened a little. Victor¡¯s eyes widened, this time filled with fear. ¡°No! Save me!¡± Just as he finished speaking, the rock in his hand broke. Immediately after, everyone heard a tragic cry. Victor fell to the ground. Everyone quickly looked over and saw that Victor¡¯s legs and arms were bent in an irregular manner. They were clearly broken. He was on the verge of death and had probably injured his innards. It would depend on whether the rescue team came in time. Although Victor¡¯s matter sounded long, it actually happened in a split second. Seeing Victor¡¯s condition, Hans did not know if he was still alive, but this undoubtedly magnified the fear in his heart. ¡°Mr. Bell, save me. I¡¯m guilty. We shouldn¡¯t have been jealous of you and shouldn¡¯t have mocked you maliciously. It¡¯s all our fault. I only hope that you can save my life.¡± With Victor¡¯s tragic encounter, Hans felt that death was closer to him. Some of the people present could even see a water stain spreading between Hans¡¯ legs. He pissed his pants in fright. Bell shook his head. The stubborn Victor had already suffered the consequences of his actions. There was no need to continue making things difficult for him. ¡°Find a protruding rock and face us.¡± ¡°Lift your center of gravity to the back and remember the spot where you are standing. Use your thighs to exert force, not your calves or toes.¡± ¡°This can let you hold on for a while longer. The rescue team will be here soon.¡± Hearing Bell¡¯s words, Hans began to do as he was told. According to Bell¡¯s words, Hans stood on the rock wall with his legs trembling, but he was indeed not as nervous as before, which was a relief. Read latest Chapters at Wuxia World . Site Only ¡°Maintain this posture. It will allow you to hold on until help arrives. Don¡¯t try to climb. The rocks above are already weathered. They can¡¯t withstand too much weight.¡± Hearing Bell say this, everyone understood why Victor had fallen. Looking at the dying Victor, everyone couldn¡¯t help but shake their heads. This guy was asking for it. In the broadcast room, the staff were in a state of emergency. ¡°Urge the rescue team to move faster. Someone already fell.¡± Chapter 92 - Correct Way, Proving Himself Time passed slowly. After half an hour, the helicopter finally arrived. In the end, under the care of the staff, the airbag was opened and Hans jumped down. He did not end up like Victor. As for Victor, he was sent over in a stretcher. This farce was finally over. No one paid attention to the subsequent matters regarding the clowns, Victor and Hans. Everyone knew that these two people would definitely not appear in their vision again. But because of the two of them, many people in the live-stream still doubted Bell. The production team was also very troubled. The higher-ups of the production team even discussed how to help Bell resolve this problem. After all, Bell was their face now. The doubts about Bell¡¯s authenticity meant that their entire show was being questioned. This was a very serious problem. ¡­ Looking at Victor and Hans being picked up by the helicopter, Bell looked at the comments in the live-stream and said, ¡°Alright, the show is over.¡± ¡°But I saw that many people thought that I was putting on a show and did not have the ability to survive on this deserted island.¡± ¡°I understand everyone¡¯s thoughts.¡± ¡°There¡¯s no good way to prove that I¡¯m not recording. In that case, I¡¯ll show everyone how to climb this rock platform.¡± ¡°Please help me place the camera so that everyone can see me climbing.¡± Bell said to Scarlett and the others. Everyone was shocked. ¡°What! Bell, you¡¯re crazy! You saw what happened to those two people.¡± Scarlett said agitatedly. It had not even been ten minutes since Victor and Hans were picked up by the helicopter. And Bell was going to attempt this dangerous climb. Even the audience couldn¡¯t help but persuade him. ¡°Host, forget it. You can find other things to prove yourself. There¡¯s no need to be angry at those people.¡± Everyone thought that Bell had chosen this method because he was angry and anxious to prove himself. But Bell shook his head. ¡°Everyone, don¡¯t worry. Since I¡¯ve said it, I¡¯m naturally confident.¡± ¡°Contestants Victor and Hans have given a bad demonstration. I will now show the correct method of climbing.¡± Bell did not wait for the others to say anything else and walked directly to the rock platform. Scarlett and the other girls couldn¡¯t stop him, so they could only remind him. ¡°Be careful.¡± Although they trusted Bell, they had seen an accident just earlier. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, I¡¯m not an amateur.¡± The audience couldn¡¯t help but laugh. Good lord, you¡¯re really ruthless. You are taking a poke at those guys even after they have left the scene. Everyone could tell that Bell was mocking Hans and Victor who had overestimated themselves. Bell scanned the area below the rock platform and confirmed his path. Come and read on our website wuxia worldsite. Thanks ¡°Faced with such a rock platform, we can¡¯t climb directly. We have to plan our path, or we will easily die from lack of planning.¡± ¡°Also, try to increase the friction between your feet and the rocks while reducing the pressure.¡± ¡°If you can find some vines in the wild, you can wrap them around your feet. This can increase the friction between you and the rocks.¡± ¡°It can also help you reduce your energy expenditure by a lot.¡± As he spoke, Bell had already begun to climb. The female celebrities zoomed the camera from further away and recorded the entire scene of Bell climbing. On the screen, it could be seen that Bell was not using any ropes or other tools. He was really climbing with his bare hands. Compared to Victor and Hans¡¯ dilly-dallying, Bell was as agile as a monkey. In just two or three moves, he had reached the same height as Victor and Hans. At this point, Bell suddenly stopped. The hearts of the audience tightened. ¡°What¡¯s going on? Why did Bell suddenly stop? Is there no way to climb anymore?¡± ¡°No way, right? That would be laughable.¡± ¡°Should we call for rescue again?¡± Some haters who were speechless by Bell¡¯s words also appeared and said sarcastically. However, before they could continue, Bell said, ¡°At this height, we need to be especially careful.¡± ¡°I¡¯ve introduced this rock platform¡¯s structure to everyone.¡± ¡°The friction will increase when you reach the top layer of this rock platform. But because of the weathering, the top part of this rock platform is extremely fragile, they can¡¯t withstand a lot of weight and pressure.¡± ¡°Therefore, we need to test our footholds properly.¡± ¡°We have to confirm that the rocks can withstand our weight. Otherwise, we will fall like Victor.¡± ¡°In terms of choosing rocks, we can choose smaller rocks with no holes in them.¡± ¡°Only such rocks can withstand the sudden increase in pressure.¡± ¡°Also, don¡¯t choose rocks that are too protruding. These rocks look sharp and hard, but they are usually more severely weathered.¡± Bell¡¯s eyes lit up as if he had discovered something. ¡°That rock looks good. We can go that way.¡± Bell jumped. The height that was Victor¡¯s limits seemed to be very easy for Bell. However, Victor¡¯s fall had left a psychological shadow in many people¡¯s hearts. They covered their eyes and did not dare to look. When everyone opened their eyes again, Bell was already standing on the rock. ¡°Alright, everyone, the most difficult stage has passed. It should be fine now as long as you are careful.¡± He continued to climb and soon reached the top. The moment he stepped on the platform, there were no more doubts about Bell. Other things might be fake, but everyone was looking at Bell climbing without any protective measures. This could not be faked. Read latest Chapters at Wuxia World . Site Only Moreover, Victor and Hans had proven the dangers of this rock platform. Not only were they not able to step on Bell to gain popularity, they instead became Bell¡¯s stepping stones. They wondered how the two of them would react after knowing about this. The moment they saw Bell successfully reach the stage, even the production team was excited. ¡°Hurry up and contact the various media outlets. Invite all the reporters over. Spread this news.¡± ¡°Make Bell the real benchmark in this show.¡± Chapter 93 - Golden Skill, Wilderness Hunter After Bell easily stepped onto the platform, no one in the live-stream questioned Bell¡¯s authenticity. After all, this was their lesson. If anyone was unhappy, they could try climbing without protective equipment. ¡°Alright, everyone. Although I¡¯m here now, this program is a team competition after all. I still have my teammates. They can¡¯t climb up like me, so I have to find a path that is suitable for everyone.¡± ¡°This is much simpler.¡± ¡°I¡¯ve taught everyone how to jump down from a high point before. Of course, we can¡¯t do it from this height. We have to find a slightly lower place.¡± When he was about six to seven meters from the ground, Bell jumped and landed safely, rolling on the ground to reduce the recoil. His proficient actions made everyone in the live-stream cheer. Even Bear and Ed stood up and clapped for Bell. ¡°What a superb technique.¡± ¡°It¡¯s hard to imagine a child can grasp such a technique.¡± On Bell¡¯s live-stream. ¡°You have received a gift from Xiaoxiao. Rocket x10.¡± ¡°You have received a gift from Tian Xiaozhen, hot air balloon x1.¡± ¡°You have received a gift from Bell¡¯s hardcore fan. Heart x100.¡± For a moment, everyone seemed to want to make up for doubting Bell. They kept giving gifts. [Ding! Congratulations, host, your popularity points have crossed 1,000 points. The complete shop has been opened, and the lucky draw system has been activated.] At the same time, the system¡¯s voice sounded again. Bell was stunned. ¡°Complete shop? There is also a lucky draw system?¡± ¡°System, can you introduce it?¡± [Ding, the complete system shop has items that were not open to the host previously. The host can exchange for them with popularity points.] [The host has to check the price of the goods himself.] [The system¡¯s lucky draw function requires the host to spend a certain amount of popularity points for the lucky draw.] [High popularity can increase the probability of obtaining high-grade items.] [The lucky draw pool is divided into white, blue, purple, and gold.] [The higher the level of the draw pool, the higher probability of obtaining high-grade items.] Looking at the system¡¯s introduction, Bell was tempted. ¡°System, open the system shop.¡± As Bell¡¯s thoughts appeared, a new system shop appeared in his mind. ¡°Low-Grade Physique Modification Potion, 300 popularity points.¡± ¡°Middle-Grade Physique Modification Potion, 900 popularity points.¡± ¡°High-grade Physique Modification Potion, 2,700 popularity points.¡± ¡°Firearm Proficiency, 1,000 popularity points.¡± ¡°Top martial arts, 2,000 popularity points.¡± Looking at these skills, Bell almost drooled. But after seeing the price of these things, Bell could only smile bitterly. ¡°I thought my popularity score was quite high, but from the looks of it, I¡¯m still a poor person.¡± ¡°System, isn¡¯t there a lucky draw function? Let me take a look.¡± A wheel appeared in front of Bell. [Lucky draw wheel, drawing the white wheel requires 1 point of popularity.] [3 popularity points can increase the lucky draw to blue.] [30 popularity points can increase the lucky draw to purple.] [¡­] [Ding! The host has opened the lucky draw wheel for the first time. You have a free chance to draw the golden lucky draw wheel.] The voice sounded in Bell¡¯s head. Bell¡¯s eyes lit up. ¡°There¡¯s such a good thing?¡± [Host, do you want to start the draw now?] Come and read on our website wuxia worldsite. Thanks ¡°Start!¡± Bell said quickly. The wheel in front of him was gradually covered in a layer of gold. At the same time, the items on it changed. The probability of obtaining some high-grade items on the wheel increased greatly. The needle began to move quickly. Bell¡¯s heart was tense. His eyes were fixed on the needle, wanting to see what he could obtain from this free golden draw. [Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining the golden skill, Wilderness Hunter.] Bell was stunned. ¡°Golden skill?¡± This was the first time he had seen a golden skill after having obtained the system for so long. Bell checked the explanation of the skill eagerly. Wilderness Hunter (Active Skill) Skill Level: Lv1 Skill Description: After using the skill, it can increase your strength, agility, stamina, and endurance for a short period of time. All attributes increase by 20%. The duration is 10 minutes. The cooldown is 120 minutes. (Skill level can be strengthened by exchanging for skill points through popularity, or by drawing similar skill from the lucky draw.) (Exchange 100 popularity points for a skill point.) After reading the skill introduction, Bell could not help but be excited. This skill was simply a godly skill in wilderness survival. The greatest shortcoming of Bell was that he was lacking in stamina and strength. But with this skill, he could make up for this weakness to a certain extent. Moreover, this skill did not have a fixed increase, instead it was an increase of 20%. In other words, this skill could continue to be effective even when he was stronger. The better his physique was, the greater the effect of this skill. In the wilderness, when life and death were at stake, increasing his speed by 20% would undoubtedly increase his chances of survival greatly. System, what¡¯s my current stats? [Ding! Host¡¯s character interface activated.] [Host: Bell Height: 136 cm Strength: 7 Physique: 10 Endurance: 8 Agility: 12 (The average stats of an adult is 10) Seeing this attribute interface, Bell was relieved. Although he was only eight years old, his physique was quite good. Because of his small size, he was even faster than ordinary adults. If he were to use Wilderness Hunter, he would not be inferior to an adult in terms of strength and speed for ten minutes. ¡°Not bad, this system upgrade has indeed given me a huge surprise.¡± Read latest Chapters at Wuxia World . Site Only Bell nodded in satisfaction. After what happened to Victor and Hans, Bell realized that his enemies in this Wilderness Survival might not be just these insects and beasts. At the same time, he had to be wary of these contestants. While Bell was thinking, Scarlett Johansson and the others had already walked forward. ¡°Bell, how are you? Are you okay?¡± Chapter 94 - Limit Breakthrough Bell came to his senses. ¡°Oh, I am okay.¡± When Scarlett saw that Bell had not moved for a long time, she thought that something had happened to Bell. Seeing that Bell was fine, she was relieved. ¡°Don¡¯t do such a dangerous thing again.¡± Scarlett reproached. Sensing the other party¡¯s concern, Bell smiled and nodded. ¡°Alright, I understand. The situation was special this time.¡± The two of them were talking when Natalie Portman walked over with Keira Knightley and Annie Hathaway. The three of them smiled when they saw Scarlett¡¯s expression. ¡°Did we appear at a bad time?¡± Natalie Portman teased. Scarlett blushed but did not retort. She just walked away. Seeing that the target had left, the three women felt bored. Bell ignored their teasing. ¡°Alright, when I went up to the rock platform, I realized that there is a good path behind the rocks. So, I think it¡¯s better to climb this rock platform to save time.¡± The others became nervous. ¡°I¡¯m afraid we can¡¯t climb up this rock platform.¡± Natalie Portman was not like the other two. She knew herself well and knew that this smooth rock wall was not something ordinary people could climb up. Naturally, she could not take the risk. The others nodded. Bell smiled and said. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, I won¡¯t let you climb with your bare hands.¡± ¡°We can use some tools.¡± ¡°Moreover, this island is a volcanic island. It¡¯s an island formed by a volcanic eruption. With our current location, we shouldn¡¯t be far from the tallest part.¡± ¡°But the deeper we enter the island, the more difficult the path will be.¡± Bell looked around. Then, he walked in a direction. There were some plant roots attached to a rock. Because there was little soil in the rocks, many of these roots were exposed. Picking a thumb-sized rhizome, Bell pulled hard and found that it was abnormally tough. The trees on the other side were not affected by Bell¡¯s pull. After doing this, Bell called Scarlett Johansson. ¡°Try to pull it and see if it can withstand your weight.¡± Scarlett rolled her eyes. ¡°Are you saying that I¡¯m heavy?¡± Although she was complaining, she still did as Bell said. She pulled it twice and found that the root could withstand her weight without any problem. Only then did Bell nod in satisfaction. ¡°Not bad, looks like we have found the way up.¡± After choosing a relatively thick root, Bell said to the four of them. ¡°Alright, climb with this. This can save us some time and stamina.¡± ¡°Remember, you have to use strength in your legs when climbing.¡± ¡°You can¡¯t rely on just your arms to climb. Otherwise, you will be exhausted soon.¡± Come and read on our website wuxia worldsite. Thanks ¡°You guys go up first. I¡¯ll be the last to go. If anything happens, I can help you.¡± With this vine, Natalie Portman no longer hesitated. The four of them followed the path Bell pointed out and climbed up the rock platform. As for Bell, he explained the method of climbing to the audience. Some fans who were interested in rock climbing were also listening attentively. Other things might not have been confirmed, but Bell¡¯s rock climbing skills were unquestionable. This had just been proven. Some of the earlier audience who had come to watch the commotion stayed behind, increasing the number of his viewers by a large margin. As expected, Bell soon climbed to the top of the rock platform. However, after climbing onto the rock platform, Bell realized something awkward. He had made the plan earlier according to the height of Natalie Portman and the others. They were famous female celebrities with tall figures. It was not a problem for them to climb a long distance, but Bell was only eight years old. He was still a little short. Therefore, the obstacles that the four of them could cross increased the difficulty to Bell. There was a protruding rock stratum on the platform. This prevented Bell from crossing it, while Natalie and the others easily jumped over. The audience also seemed to see Bell¡¯s dilemma. ¡°Haha, I think the host is in trouble.¡± ¡°He is facing the problem of being a child.¡± ¡°Hahaha, the technique is superb, but the hardware is not up to par.¡± ¡°It is like a pony pulling a large carriage.¡± The fans were not worried about Bell¡¯s problem. Instead, they started joking without restraint. Perhaps only Bell¡¯s live-stream could be so carefree. Just as the fans in the live-stream said, Bell was indeed troubled. ¡°Alright, I have to admit that being young is indeed an obstacle.¡± ¡°However, this situation no longer allows me to retreat.¡± Bell had already moved up and down the rock platform twice. Bell¡¯s stamina was reaching its limit. If he could not cross this high platform, he would probably fall. Seeing the sweat on Bell¡¯s temples, the audience felt a trace of nervousness. ¡°Host, why don¡¯t you go down and rest first before climbing?¡± ¡°Yeah, yeah. Safety is the most important.¡± Everyone suggested. However, Bell knew that he could not do that because he had already exhausted a lot of his stamina. It would only be worse if he kept on delaying. Looking at the bulge above, it was probably his limit. It was about two meters tall. Under normal circumstances, it was definitely impossible for him to go up. But at this moment, Bell suddenly thought of the skill he had just drawn. Wilderness Hunter. It could increase his stamina, endurance, strength, and agility. An increase of 20% should be enough to help him cross this obstacle. With this in mind, Bell decided to risk it. Read latest Chapters at Wuxia World . Site Only ¡°Wilderness Hunter, activate!¡± With a thought, Bell felt his exhausted stamina recover a little. Bell¡¯s muscles bulged, and his vision became much more sensitive. It felt like he had been injected with epinephrine when he was on the verge of death. Looking at the protruding rock platform again, Bell¡¯s expression became serious. Chapter 95 - Skill Activation Bell, who had decided to gamble, activated the golden skill that he had drawn earlier. Wilderness Hunter. The people in the live-stream were still persuading him. ¡°Host, if you can¡¯t continue, you should get down. Safety first.¡± But before anyone could react, Bell jumped like an agile monkey and jumped towards the tree root on his right. Bell was two to three meters away from the tree root. This required extremely strong explosive and agile movements. Not to mention other things, just this courage was not something ordinary people could have. But as a survivalist, Bell did not lack courage. The only thing that could test him was his strength and stamina. With the Wilderness Hunter skill, Bell resolved the final problem. Some of the audience saw Bell¡¯s actions and were suddenly puzzled. ¡°Why does this scene look so familiar?¡± ¡°Previous poster, have you forgotten that the one who fell out of the two who wanted to slander Bell also looked like this?¡± ¡°No way. Even that adult couldn¡¯t do it. Will Bell be okay?¡± Everyone couldn¡¯t help but worry for Bell. They were afraid that Bell would become the next person who needed to be rescued. That would be a big mark on his reputation. Some of Bell¡¯s anti-fans smiled when they saw Bell¡¯s actions. They were even looking forward to seeing Bell fall. Unfortunately, their wish did not come true. Bell jumped up like a monkey and grabbed the tree root. He completed the movement safely. Then, without giving everyone time to react, he climbed up. Seeing Bell¡¯s dangerous actions, Scarlett and the others who had already climbed up the rock platform couldn¡¯t help but worry for him. ¡°What am I seeing? This host can fly!¡± ¡°F*ck, what kind of explosive force is this? He can even jump such a distance so easily.¡± ¡°The host is awesome!¡± ¡°Host, please add me as a friend has gifted Rocket x100.¡± ¡°A tycoon has appeared!¡± ¡°Xiaoxiao has gifted Rocket x200.¡± ¡°The two tycoons are competing!¡± Bell was in no mood to care about the situation in the live-stream. He was breathing heavily. ¡°It was close.¡± Thinking about what had happened earlier, Bell was not as relaxed as he looked. It had been a close shave. If any part of the jump went wrong, he would have fallen. Fortunately, he was agile enough. After resting for two minutes, Bell sat up. ¡°Everyone, we have successfully climbed onto the rock platform. It will be much easier now.¡± ¡°I have to remind everyone that the movement earlier was very dangerous. Don¡¯t imitate it easily.¡± The few women standing beside Bell rolled their eyes. ¡°Host, you¡¯re overthinking. With your actions just now, no one with a normal mind would imitate it.¡± ¡°That¡¯s right. After all, we can¡¯t fly.¡± ¡°I¡¯ve already recorded the clip. If anyone wants it, send me your emails!¡± Bell¡¯s leap had already become a classic in everyone¡¯s hearts. ¡°Alright, we have rested enough. Let¡¯s continue.¡± Come and read on our website wuxia worldsite. Thanks Because of the farce with Victor and Hans, Bell had already wasted a lot of time. Fortunately, Bell had increased his fan count. Bell also activated the system¡¯s new function. It was a blessing in disguise. ¡°We have to hurry.¡± ¡°Be careful, Bell.¡± Scarlett reminded Bell. Bell nodded. Soon, they arrived at the top of the island. Standing on the top of the volcano cone, their vision widened greatly. The live broadcast equipment also showed the scene to everyone. On the mountaintop, the salty sea breeze blew on their faces, making them feel a little cool. This feeling of standing on a high ground really refreshed one¡¯s spirits. ¡°Everyone, I feel like my entire person has changed. This is the charm of wilderness survival. In a city, you will never be able to experience this feeling. ¡± ¡°Now, I feel like I¡¯ve conquered the entire island.¡± Scarlett and the others were feeling the same. It was very difficult to experience this feeling of reaching the peak after experiencing difficulties. After a while, Bell suddenly realized a problem. There were no trees or anything that could block the sea breeze on this peak. Even if he started a fire here, the smoke would quickly be dispersed by the sea breeze, and it would be impossible to rise to the sky. ¡°I guess we have to think of something else.¡± Bell looked around and chose some stones. He chose a good spot and arranged the stones to make the word SOS. With that, Bell stood up and nodded. ¡°Since starting a fire is useless, we can only try this method.¡± ¡°Although this method has a lower chance of being seen by others than starting a fire, it can¡¯t be helped.¡± ¡°We will wait here for two days. If no plane passes by in two days, we can only think of making bamboo rafts to cross the sea.¡± Scarlett Johansson stood aside and did not speak when she saw Bell¡¯s actions. She was not sure if this was useful. But she chose to believe Bell. ¡°Let¡¯s go. There¡¯s no meaning in staying here.¡± ¡°We don¡¯t have food here, so we have to go down the mountain.¡± Compared to going up the mountain, going down the mountain was actually more troublesome. ¡°Fortunately, there are these roots. Otherwise, it would really be troublesome.¡± ¡°I¡¯ll go down first. I¡¯ll explain how to get down later.¡± Bell turned to look at the women. Natalie and the others nodded. Bell found a thick tree root. After confirming that it was tough enough, he began to try moving down. Bell¡¯s feet stepped on the rock wall. His entire body formed a 90-degree angle with the rock wall. ¡°Go down the mountain like this. Make your body and the walls 90 degrees as much as possible.¡± Read latest Chapters at Wuxia World . Site Only ¡°The benefit is that you can use your feet to maintain balance.¡± ¡°As long as you can hold on to the roots tightly, you can slowly move down.¡± Soon, Bell finally returned to the ground. Looking at it again, Bell¡¯s hand was red from the friction, and it felt a little hot. With Bell¡¯s example, Scarlett and others climbed down. Chapter 96 - Simple Harpoon They returned to the location of the three banana trees. At this moment, the leaves of the banana trees were already slightly yellow. Moreover, no more water came from them. It would not be long before two of the three trees withered. Taking the water from the last banana tree, they replenished some water. ¡°Looking at the sun, it should be four in the afternoon.¡± ¡°We have already left a signal on the mountain. We can wait for a while.¡± ¡°But we can¡¯t stay idle.¡± ¡°I¡¯ve set a time of two days.¡± ¡°Two days. If there is no plane to rescue us, we can only leave on a bamboo raft.¡± ¡°Although this is very dangerous, it¡¯s better than wasting time here.¡± ¡°I wonder how the other teams are doing.¡± There were ten teams on this deserted island. Victor and Hans were already eliminated. In other words, other than Bell¡¯s team, there were seven other teams. Bell was also looking forward to meeting some outstanding teams. It would be quite interesting. After all, being invincible was lonely. Hearing Bell¡¯s words, comments appeared on the screen. ¡°Host, don¡¯t think about them. Other than the two teams that you eliminated earlier, there are only three teams left.¡± ¡°One team was eliminated because they accidentally ate poisonous fruits.¡± ¡°Another team leader was bitten by a poisonous snake and had to be rescued. I wonder if he¡¯s okay now.¡± ¡°The other two teams are even more interesting. The members didn¡¯t get along and directly split up. In the end, their qualifications to participate in the competition were revoked by the production team.¡± Seeing the messages on the screen, Bell was speechless. What was going on? This was Wilderness Survival, so why were they treating it like a vacation? Although he knew that wilderness survival was not fully developed in this world and it was very difficult to have expert level contestants, these were too amateurish. ¡°My heart aches for the production team¡¯s rescue team. They are moving even more frequently than the buses today.¡± Knowing the situation of the other contestants, Bell stopped thinking. If the other contestants were all at this level, he had to work even harder. Otherwise, this Wilderness Survival program would be over. ¡°Alright, let¡¯s not talk about anything else.¡± ¡°We have to adjust our mentality. Remember what I told everyone? In wilderness survival, mentality is very important. It can even affect whether you can survive or not.¡± ¡°Adjust your mentality and stay optimistic.¡± ¡°It¡¯s already time to eat. On such an island, there¡¯s one thing that¡¯s not bad. We can easily find fresh food like seafood.¡± ¡°Let¡¯s go prepare our food.¡± Bell joked. The four women beside Bell were in a much better mood. When they heard about the situation of the other teams, they were a little worried. Although the few people beside Bell felt that it was relatively safe, the experiences of the others still covered their hearts with a layer of haze. However, after hearing Bell¡¯s words, their mood changed. ¡°Do you want to come together, or do you want to rest?¡± Bell turned to look at Scarlett and the others. After all, not everyone was Bell. Exhaustion could easily cause an emotional breakdown. It was already very rare for the women to endure for so long with him and not complain at all. Bell had been prepared to take care of the ladies from the start. Come and read on our website wuxia worldsite. Thanks Unexpectedly, these people were not as delicate as he had imagined. Instead, they had helped him a lot. Hearing Bell say that they could rest, Scarlett stood up. ¡°I¡¯m coming with you.¡± Alright, there were always some emotions that could fill one with energy. As for the other three women, they followed like curious babies, as if they saw something interesting. Scarlett couldn¡¯t help but roll her eyes again. Even the comments became lively. ¡°Even if I have to see a public display of affection and be a third wheel, I will support this couple!¡± ¡°Lock it!¡± ¡°Hey, you guys are going too far. Bell is only eight, but this definitely looks interesting.¡± Bell could only pretend not to see the comments. Scarlett Johansson blushed. She lowered her head and followed behind Bell like a little wife. There were also three people following like gossipy aunts. The atmosphere became strange. However, this also diluted their nervousness. They arrived at the bamboo forest that Bell had discovered before. Bell picked a thick and suitable bamboo and cut it with his dagger. Then, he sharpened the other end of the bamboo. After doing his work, Bell brought the tools he had made to the camera. ¡°Everyone, look at this.¡± ¡°We can use this to catch fish tonight.¡± ¡°In the wild, to create such tools, we have to choose bamboo as thick as an egg. Bamboo as thick as this is tough enough.¡± ¡°In addition, you have to split the end into four parts and sharpen them.¡± ¡°Use the rope we made with the banana tree fibers to hold these splits.¡± ¡°And a simple bamboo harpoon is ready.¡± Looking at the tool made by Bell, the others were curious. ¡°It¡¯s done?¡± Scarlett asked curiously. ¡°Can this really be used as a harpoon?¡± Natalie Portman was also in disbelief. Keira Knightley touched the tip of Bell¡¯s harpoon like a curious baby. As soon as she touched it, she felt a sharp pain. The girl quickly retracted her hand and did not dare to probe further. Bell smiled. ¡°Alright, my tool is finished. Do you want to try making one?¡± After all, they were a team. No matter how hard Bell worked, he could not provide for all four people by himself. Scarlett copied Bell and made another harpoon. Immediately after, the others completed the preparations. Holding the tools in their hands, the four of them were a little excited. Read latest Chapters at Wuxia World . Site Only ¡°Let¡¯s fish in a while. We have to be in the shallow area, and not the deep area.¡± ¡°Be careful when you swim. Try not to touch the multicolored fish.¡± ¡°Be careful not to be injured.¡± In a natural environment, bright and gorgeous colors were often accompanied by danger. Unlike Bell, who knew many animals and plants and could accurately tell which fish were poisonous and which were not, these four women could not. 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!¡± Come and read on our website wuxia worldsite. Thanks ¡°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. Read latest Chapters at Wuxia World . Site Only 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. Chapter 98 - Survival Belief, Chicken Soup for the Soul ¡°I just caught a lobster. Can you help me cook it?¡± Bell said to the two of them. Annie Hathaway and Scarlett nodded. They had already thought of giving up. It was a waste of energy to stay in the water. They were unable to get any food. Now that Bell had asked them to cook the food, they could use this to stop idling around. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, leave this lobster to us. You can come to eat in a while.¡± Scarlett seemed to be confident in her cooking. ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll go and see if I can capture anything else.¡± Bell entered the sea again. After half an hour, Bell caught another fish and a dozen oysters. As for Natalie Portman and Keira Knightley, they did not gain anything. Scarlett and Annie Hathaway had already finished cooking the lobster that Bell had captured. They were just waiting for everyone to come ashore and enjoy it together. But Keira and Natalie were not willing to give up. Seeing Bell gain food time and time again while they failed to capture anything on their side, they felt a little embarrassed. They looked like a burden. In particular, Keira Knightley, who had a slightly stronger personality, looked even more unwilling to admit defeat. She was still determined to dive into the water to catch food for herself. As for Natalie Portman, she seemed to have accepted her fate and swam ashore. Seeing Keira Knightley like this, Bell could only shake his head helplessly. He thought that she might give up once she was tired. In fact, this method was not recommended in the wild. Because you had to maintain enough stamina in the wild, you should conserve as much energy as possible. However, Keira Knightley was not a professional survivalist, and Bell did not have much hope in her. Since her enthusiasm for fishing was still high, at least it meant that she still had a very strong desire to get food for herself. Such a positive and optimistic mentality might not be a bad thing in the team, so he might as well let her do as she pleased. After leaving a portion of food for Keira, Bell sat in front of the fire with Scarlett and the others. Looking at the red lobster and the oysters, Bell smiled in satisfaction. ¡°That¡¯s right. You won¡¯t have a chance to eat this seafood set meal everyday in the city.¡± ¡°I remember telling everyone before that you have to adjust your mood in the wild. Your mental state is very important to ensure your survival.¡± ¡°I heard about an incident in the Pacific Ocean.¡± ¡°The incident happened a few years ago when a family of five drove their yacht to the Pacific for a vacation. In the end, the yacht hit a reef and sank into the ocean.¡± ¡°The father and mother of that family died on the spot, leaving their three children. The oldest was only about 15 or 16 years old.¡± ¡°The three children used the remains of the yacht to float in the sea for a day and night before finally landing on a deserted island.¡± ¡°Everyone knows that such children usually don¡¯t have any survival skills, but a miracle happened. The three children actually survived for 25 days on such a desolate island until rescue arrived.¡± ¡°Think about it, what kind of concept is 25 days? Many amateur Wilderness Survival contestants, for example, those contestants who were eliminated at the beginning of the show. Even if they are adults, it is usually very difficult for them to survive so long. There are even some survivalists who will feel depressed and eventually fall into madness because of the long period of loneliness!¡± ¡°However, in the story I told just now, the rescue team learned that in these 25 days, three children who had drifted to the uninhabited island encouraged each other. They really passed the 25 days by only eating some coconuts.¡± Come and read on our website wuxia worldsite. Thanks ¡°Compared to other things, I think it¡¯s actually the unwavering belief that allowed them to successfully survive.¡± ¡°From this, we can know how important the belief of a survivalist is.¡± While Bell was explaining to the audience, Scarlett and the others were also listening and nodding seriously. Scarlett felt it the most. Back in the snowy mountain, she had really walked around in the hands of the Grim Reaper. If not for Bell, she might have been buried in the snow mountain lake forever. In that environment, it was because of Bell¡¯s persuasion and guidance that she survived. Recalling the scene from before, Scarlett couldn¡¯t help but blush. After all, she had been naked with Bell in the snow cave. Although it was for the sake of survival, she still felt a little ashamed. When people were at their most helpless moments, if someone helped them, they would often open their hearts to that person. There was a term for this phenomenon called the suspension bridge effect. It seemed to be because of the suspension bridge effect during the Alps survival round that Scarlett Johansson began to have some feelings for Bell that would have been unlikely to happen during normal times. Even though Scarlett kept reminding herself that Bell was still young and could not do such a thing to him, she could not help but think about this. When she was with Bell, Scarlett did not seem to feel the difference in their ages at all. Instead, she was like a child, always taken care of by Bell. Scarlett was lost in thought. Natalie Portman and Annie Hathaway looked at Scarlett and smiled secretly. Bell, on the other hand, was unaware. He continued to explain the importance of the mentality to the audience. ¡°I know that when you are alone on an uninhabited island, it will be very difficult to ensure an optimistic mentality. After all, apart from despair, there is also a strong sense of loneliness in this sea, but you can treat this as a form of training given by fate.¡± ¡°If you can successfully survive in such a difficult environment, I believe that you can face whatever difficulty you encounter when you return to the city. At least you will have a strong heart.¡± Many people in front of the screen could empathize with Bell¡¯s words. The pressure in life was not small, but compared to Wilderness Survival, their pressure seemed insignificant. After all, although there was a lot of pressure in real civilization, few people faced death head-on. Immediately, many people wanted to adventure in the wild. They wanted to see if they could succeed and challenge their limits. These people liked Bell¡¯s soothing words that resonated with them. ¡°I think Bell makes sense!¡± ¡°I didn¡¯t expect to be fed chicken soup for the soul by an eight-year-old.¡± ¡°But it¡¯s true. Bell is really living a great life.¡± ¡°I really want to learn from the host and travel once.¡± Read latest Chapters at Wuxia World . Site Only ¡°Previous poster, I think you just want to eat lobsters.¡± ¡°Hahaha, the truth is out!¡± ¡°Host, you should eat the lobster first and evaluate the taste.¡± The atmosphere in the live-stream became active. However, at this moment, Keira Knightley was still not ashore. Chapter 99 - Shark While saying the comforting words, Bell realized that the oysters and lobster were also cooked. ¡°Alright, our dinner is ready. Let us try these things.¡± Picking up his portion, Bell chose a piece of lobster meat. He only blew gently twice before stuffing it into his mouth. Immediately, a sweet taste exploded in Bell¡¯s mouth. Even Scarlett and the others, who were used to eating high-grade food, closed their eyes and looked like they were enjoying themselves. ¡°This taste is too delicious. Trust me, it¡¯s difficult to eat such fresh ingredients in the cities.¡± ¡°Enjoying delicious food can make a person feel happy. This is also a good way to regulate our mood.¡± ¡°But only the few of us can enjoy this beauty.¡± Some of the audience who had yet to eat dinner looked at Bell¡¯s enjoyment and felt love and hate. ¡°F*ck, this host is actually targeting us alone and even mocked us.¡± ¡°Damn it, if not for the fact that the instant noodles are almost ready, I would not have been able to endure this hatred today!¡± ¡°You have received a gift from Lin Xiaoxiao. Rocket x10.¡± ¡°Lin Xiaoxiao: Fresh lobsters taste really good. We can go to the sea to try them tonight. Does Bell want to join us when you come back?¡± ¡°F*ck, the tycoon above, have you already met the host?¡± ¡°Boss, do you need an assistant? I¡¯m very good at peeling lobsters.¡± Noticing the comments sent by Lin Xiaoxiao, Bell was stunned. He did not expect that after helping Lin Xiaoxiao shoot the advertisement for Lin Xiaoxiao¡¯s company, the other party would still pay attention to his live-stream. After the previous matter, Bell had already appointed Lin Xiaoxiao as a moderator of his live-stream. Seeing Lin Xiaoxiao appear in the live-stream, Bell was quite happy. However, it was not the time to reminisce. Bell only expressed his gratitude symbolically. Then, he continued eating. At this moment, Keira Knightly, who had not caught any food, was still trying hard in the water. Even Bell was surprised. Not to mention other things, just this willpower was quite admirable. Unfortunately, catching prey required skills, and willpower was sometimes useless. But Bell did not stop her. Since the food problem was resolved, and she wanted to try it, he was willing to let her. Such an opportunity was rare in the city. After eating, Bell lay in the shelter and looked at the sky in boredom. ¡°It has been two days since we came to this island. Although we encountered some difficulties along the way, we passed them safely.¡± ¡°Overall, it¡¯s not bad. There is a distress signal on the top of the volcano cone, and I even got a delicious dinner.¡± ¡°According to our original plan, we will continue to wait here for a day.¡± ¡°If no rescue comes after a day, we can only make a bamboo raft and go out to sea.¡± ¡°There is no freshwater resource on this island, and the little water we have is not enough for us to survive for a long time.¡± ¡°The longer we delay, the more danger we will be in. In the end, we might not even be able to go out to sea.¡± Bell explained the situation to the audience. It was almost night. The sky gradually darkened, and the vision range was shortening. He looked back at Keira Knightley, who was still trying to find food. Bell¡¯s pupils suddenly constricted. He couldn¡¯t care less about explaining and rushed into the sea. The audience and Scarlett were stunned, unable to react. What was wrong with Bell? Come and read on our website wuxia worldsite. Thanks But some sharp-eyed audience looked in the direction Bell was running and noticed something. A triangular fin was floating on the sea. Moreover, the fin was gradually approaching Keira Knightley. But Keira Knightley had no idea. Because she was in the water and was quite far from the shore, she could not hear Bell and the others. Through the knowledge in his mind, Bell determined that it was most likely a shark. If it appeared in a shallow area at this time, it was very likely to be its hunting ground. Keira Knightley was in extreme danger. Scarlett, Johnson, and Natalie Portman also sensed that something was wrong. Their eyes widened as they saw the nearing fin and they waved rapidly at Keira Knightley. At this moment, Bell had already entered the water with his harpoon. This time, Bell used all his strength. He did not dare to delay for a moment and swam towards Keira. Kaila seemed to sense that something was wrong. Seeing her teammates wave at her, she stopped being stubborn and turned to swim towards the shore. But this action seemed to have agitated the shark. The fin stopped moving from side to side and swam straight for Keira. Keira also sensed the danger behind her. Looking at the gradually approaching fin, she panicked. The shark had already locked onto her as prey. This was a shark that was about to reach adulthood. Although its size was not particularly large, eating an adult was not a problem. The fin was close to Keira Knightley. There was still a distance between her and the shore. Some of the audience in the live-stream closed their eyes. Everyone seemed to see the gruesome scene that would follow soon. Keira being bitten by a shark and severely injured. The bloody scene made no one dare to look. The few people on the shore also covered their eyes in fear. They wanted to help Keira, but they were too far away and could not help at all. Keira¡¯s ending seemed to be predetermined. The shark had opened its bloody mouth. Bang! The shark suddenly began to move violently. Everyone thought that the shark had bitten Keira. Looking at the large amount of blood in the sea, they felt a chill. Some people were even worried that Keira might not even be able to survive. A top celebrity had died. The audience couldn¡¯t help but feel pity. However, the scene that everyone had expected did not happen. They saw Keira continuing to swim. There was no pain on her face as they had expected. Read latest Chapters at Wuxia World . Site Only Instead, she swam faster towards the shore. However, the shark kept stirring up waves in the sea. But strangely, the shark did not continue to chase after Keira. Someone suddenly noticed something. ¡°Bell? It¡¯s Bell! He¡¯s fighting that shark!¡± Chapter 100 - Fighting the Bull Shark! In the comments, someone noticed that Bell was holding a harpoon and fighting with the shark. The blood in the sea earlier was not from Keira Knightley, but from the shark¡¯s eye that had been pierced by the harpoon. The power of the shark in the water was very high. Under the stimulation of the pain, Bell was thrown out of the water to a height of two meters. Everyone was shocked. ¡°This is too terrifying.¡± ¡°Will Bell be fine?¡± ¡°Are you kidding? Bell is a man who stands at the top of the food chain.¡± Bell was not as relaxed as everyone thought. In fact, he could already feel his energy draining quickly. With this shark¡¯s size, it was not possible for him to hunt it. This was a bull shark. It was a very aggressive species of shark. The bull shark had been stabbed in the eye by Bell, arousing its ferocious nature. After the previous round, Bell knew that he was not this bull shark¡¯s match. At the very least, it was clearly impossible to win in this situation. The greatest possibility was that he would become a delicious meal for this bull shark. ¡°No, I can¡¯t continue like this.¡± ¡°I am still far from the shore. With the bull shark¡¯s speed, it¡¯s impossible for me to swim back. I have to kill it.¡± Holding the harpoon, Bell stopped worrying. He still had a trump card, and that was the Wilderness Hunter skill. Although there was a difference in strength between him and this bull shark, if he used this skill, he should be able to make up for it. In addition, this bull shark had just been injured. Perhaps this was a good opportunity. While Bell was thinking, the bull shark seemed to sense danger emitting from Bell and did not dare to attack rashly. The human and the shark formed a stalemate in the water. ¡°Wilderness Hunter, activate.¡± With a thought, a force filled his body. The tired feeling was gone. Before the bull shark could react, Bell quickly approached with the harpoon and aimed at the previous wound. However, this time, Bell did not use the sharp ends. Instead, he used the other side. He had already pierced the bull shark¡¯s eye earlier. If he could seize the opportunity, he might be able to kill it in one go. In the blood, Bell¡¯s vision was blocked. He did not dare to be careless. Suddenly, Bell felt a black shadow quickly approaching from behind him. Bell knew that it had to be the bull shark. He quickly turned around. He stabbed with the bamboo pole. It pierced into the bull shark¡¯s brain through the eye socket. The bull shark writhed even more violently, but this time, Bell did not let go. Instead, he used all his strength to hold the pole. Time passed. Just as Bell felt that he could not hold on anymore, the bull shark finally stopped and fell. Come and read on our website wuxia worldsite. Thanks Clearly, after a long period of blood loss and damage to the brain, the bull shark had reached its limit and no longer had the strength to resist. On the shore, Scarlett and the others waited anxiously. They wanted to go down and help Bell. However, they were not professional swimmers. At most, they could only ensure their safety while swimming. If they went to fight, they would only cause trouble for Bell. Looking at the blood-stained sea, Scarlett Johansson and Keira Knightley were so anxious that they cried. The audience in the live-stream was also worried. The scene in the broadcast room was focused on Bell¡¯s movements. The rescue helicopter had been sent. They had just allocated more traffic to Bell. If anything happened to Bell, the production team would be implicated. While everyone was feeling nervous, A figure emerged from the water. It was Bell. In Bell¡¯s hand was a shark nearly two meters tall. The bamboo stick was still stuck in the shark¡¯s eye socket. The people on the shore heaved a sigh of relief. The atmosphere in the live-stream finally became lively again. ¡°I knew it. Bell is a man who stands at the top of the food chain. How can he not be able to deal with a shark?¡± ¡°You guys continue to talk, I¡¯m going to change my pants.¡± ¡°Damn, being able to kill a shark with bare hands.¡± ¡°There¡¯s clearly a harpoon, aren¡¯t you guys making a big deal out of it?¡± ¡°Previous poster, do you want a bamboo stick? Go down and try it.¡± There were all kinds of people in the live-stream, and there was no lack of bickering. Lin Xiaoxiao saw these comments and rolled her eyes. She was also shocked when she saw Bell¡¯s situation. Seeing that there was actually someone who was making fun of her, she did not stand on ceremony and immediately blocked this user. In a dark room in the poor district of Shanghai. A greasy middle-aged fatty looked at the screen of the computer. Beside him was a box of leftover instant noodles. The greasy middle-aged man smiled proudly. Because he had not exercised for a long time, the fat on his face trembled a little. ¡°Hmph, isn¡¯t it just catching a shark? What¡¯s amazing about it? If I knew how to swim, I could do the same.¡± The man did not have a permanent job. His greatest joy was to watch some popular streamers on the Internet and then argue with them to gain attention. A few days ago, he discovered Bell¡¯s live-stream. Seeing the popularity of the live-stream, he stayed. Seeing Bell alone on the deserted island with four beautiful women, the greasy middle-aged man was very envious. He really wanted to go sign up for Wilderness Survival. However, after seeing the series of dangers, he retreated and became a keyboard warrior. Of course, he could not admit defeat in terms of fighting with words. Since he could not participate personally, he had to fight through the keyboard. Read latest Chapters at Wuxia World . Site Only Only in such a live-stream could he feel a sense of existence. Seeing the other audience hate him so much but unable to do anything to him, he was greatly satisfied. The next second, just as he typed words of ridicule and pressed the send button, a notification appeared on the screen. ¡°Sorry, you have been kicked out of this live-stream. You have been banned for 365 days. Please pay attention to the online manners and maintain a healthy online environment.¡± The man¡¯s screen darkened. It was impossible to send another message. Chapter 101 - Refining Salt From Seawater ¡°F*ck! What¡¯s going on? Why can¡¯t I send messages?¡± The fat middle-aged man cursed. Looking at the lively live-stream on the screen, the man gritted his teeth. Bell had no idea what was going on in the live-stream. At this moment, he had already carried the corpse of the bull shark and swam back to the shore. ¡°We have to get out of here as soon as possible. The smell of blood will attract more predators.¡± ¡°Danger is also everywhere in the water.¡± ¡°But we¡¯re undoubtedly lucky this time. This bull shark can provide us with food for a while.¡± Bell said to the audience. Seeing Bell walk ashore, Scarlett, Johnson, Keira Knightley, and the other women quickly surrounded him. ¡°How are you, Bell? Are you okay?¡± Scarlett looked nervous. ¡°Sorry, I was too willful.¡± Keira also looked guilty. At the same time, they looked at Bell with gratitude. If not for Bell, she might have died. Although this bull shark was not big, its teeth were sharp. One bite could even crush bones. In such an environment, carrying such injuries was no different from death. Seeing them like this, Bell smiled and shook his head. ¡°Alright, this is Wilderness Survival. It is filled with dangers everywhere. No one could have expected it.¡± ¡°Moreover, we¡¯re a team now.¡± Bell looked very optimistic. Sensing Bell¡¯s relaxed mood, everyone was infected. After confirming that Bell was really not injured, Scarlett heaved a sigh of relief. Although Keira still blamed herself, she was not as depressed as before. The atmosphere in the team was adjusted by Bell. The audience in the live-stream also praised Bell¡¯s mentality. ¡°Wow, the host is too warm.¡± ¡°Is this considered saving the damsel in distress?¡± ¡°Our female protagonist from the previous round seems to be jealous.¡± Some of Bell¡¯s fans in the live-stream also began to joke. Bell ignored these messages. ¡°Alright, the crisis has been resolved, but the energy from the food I ate just now has been expended. If possible, can you help me cook this bull shark? Let¡¯s have a full meal.¡± After the Wilderness Hunter skill ended, Bell felt abnormally hungry. It seemed like this skill had side effects. It made sense. It would be unrealistic if there were no side effects from such a sudden increase in strength. Hearing Bell¡¯s words, Scarlett and the others quickly began to move. The shark was quickly butchered and became food. Keira Knightley felt that she had no rights to enjoy the fruits of victory. But under Bell¡¯s encouragement, she finally moved her fingers. Compared to Bell, who was also quite hungry, Keira was starving and exhausted. After all, she had been trying to find food in the sea for the whole day. Bell picked up a piece of shark meat and placed it in his mouth, chewing carefully. However, he frowned slightly. Come and read on our website wuxia worldsite. Thanks ¡°As a predator of the sea, shark meat is quite chewy. It is not as loose as ordinary fish meat.¡± ¡°But there is a trace of bitterness.¡± ¡°Probably, no one will order it in a restaurant.¡± Bell explained the taste to the audience with a professional expression. ¡°However, we have no right to be picky about this.¡± Bell picked up another piece. Suddenly, Bell seemed to think of something. ¡°If there are seasonings, the taste might be much better.¡± Scarlett rolled her eyes. ¡°Bell, we¡¯re in the wilderness after all. There¡¯s no seasoning. If we were in a city, I could cook for you. It¡¯s better not to think about it now.¡± Keira Knightley also walked out of the shadows. Hearing Bell¡¯s words, she covered her mouth and smiled. ¡°Hurry up and eat. You¡¯ve exhausted a lot of energy. Thank you for this. I¡¯ll treat you to a big meal when we return.¡± After this experience, Bell¡¯s relationship with them had clearly improved. Moreover, it was obvious that Keira wanted to get to know Bell further. Without anyone noticing, Scarlett Johansson looked warily at Keira Knightley. Bell did not look at them. Instead, he looked around and finally focused on the reef by the sea. Bell ran to the sea and filled a canteen with seawater. Then, he chose a relatively flat stone and placed it in the fire. The seawater fell on the stone. Soon, water vapor began to appear, and the seawater on the stones was dried. Bell moved the stone out. When he looked again, he saw that some white crystals had appeared on the surface of the stone. He picked up a piece of fish and gently dipped it in the salt. Bell immediately narrowed his eyes in happiness. ¡°Mmm, it tastes much better now.¡± As he spoke, Bell signaled for the others to try. ¡°Don¡¯t use it too much. You can¡¯t eat too much coarse salt condensed from seawater.¡± The others also tried it. As Bell had said, the taste was indeed much better. At least it was not as difficult to swallow as before. ¡°Friends, I¡¯ve learned another skill.¡± ¡°He actually thought of making salt in such a situation. Host, you¡¯re really something.¡± ¡°I think Bell must be a foodie. He¡¯s too knowledgeable.¡± The comments in the live-stream were teasing. In the peaceful atmosphere, almost half of the bull shark was eaten. At night. Bell sat alone in front of the fire. Scarlett and the others leaned into the shelter. Although they were lying down, they were clearly not asleep. They were whispering and saying something. Bell did not hear them clearly. Seeing that no one was around, Bell took off his jacket. It was not as easy as everyone thought. Bell realized that there were several bruises on his body caused by the fin of the bull shark. Read latest Chapters at Wuxia World . Site Only The impact of the water was much greater than everyone thought. However, Bell was not too worried. This injury was not fatal. It only hurt a little, and it did not injure his internal organs. What surprised Bell was that his weak physique could actually withstand such a blow. ¡°Looks like my physique is indeed very strong.¡± Chapter 102 - Making the Raft ¡°Looks like the various skills given by the system will also enhance my physique to a certain extent.¡± ¡°Ordinary eight-year-olds would never be able to do this, not even with years of training.¡± ¡°There seems to be some strengthening potion in the shop. I wonder what level my physique can reach after using them.¡± Looking at the goods in the system shop, Bell couldn¡¯t help but swallow. At the same time, he was looking forward to the growth of his fans. After these two days, Bell¡¯s fans increased by 1 million again. Bell already had 15 million fans. It was mostly thanks to Victor and Hans. It could be said that these two guys had created an opportunity for Bell. Many audiences who were not familiar with Bell knew him because of this. Of course, these two did not have good intentions, and Bell would not thank them for this. ¡°At this rate, I should be able to obtain shares in the video platform in a year.¡± Bell did not forget the agreement he had made with Hanks. As long as he could ensure the growth of his fans for a year, according to the bet, Bell could enter the platform and become a shareholder. At that time, he would be a winner in life. Of course, Bell did not plan to give up on wilderness survival streaming. After all, there was the system. He had some thoughts and plans for the future. There were many unexplored environments in this world. If he went to stream in all those places, it would be enough for him to record for more than ten years. Whether it was the fatal and dangerous delta state, the primitive tribes filled with mystery, or blind spots not covered by satellites. These were all his goals. However, he could not challenge these yet. Compared to the common survival environment, they had their own dangers. There were even rumors of some unnatural powers. He had to be extra careful when exploring these environments. At least, before reaching a certain level of strength to protect himself, Bell would not take this risk. After all, he only had this one life. The night passed peacefully. The next morning, Bell went to the volcano cone again. The three banana trees they encountered on the way had already withered and died. ¡°Unfortunately, no one has been here. It seems like we won¡¯t be rescued through air. We can only choose another way to leave this place.¡± ¡°In the Pacific region, the Polynesians can create a kind of dugout canoes that can travel for hundreds of nautical miles.¡± ¡°Of course, it will take some time to create this kind of dugout canoe. We don¡¯t have the time now, but we can make some simple bamboo rafts.¡± Bell explained to the screen. ¡°This bamboo raft is not much different from the bamboo raft I made in Shennongjia. It just needs to be stronger.¡± ¡°Because the weather at sea is very bad, and the impact of the waves is greater. If they are not firm, they might be scattered by the waves before long.¡± ¡°Fortunately, we have some experience in making bamboo rafts.¡± Bell had exchanged skills for tool making with the system, including the bamboo raft. Come and read on our website wuxia worldsite. Thanks He could use limited raw materials to create the strongest bamboo raft. While speaking, Bell had already returned to the shelter. ¡°Alright, everyone, we need to plan now.¡± Scarlett and the others stood up and waited for Bell¡¯s arrangements. After these few days, the few of them had already subconsciously treated Bell as the leader of this team. Although Bell was so young, they were convinced in his abilities. ¡°There is no plane to rescue us now, so we have to go out to sea. After all, there is not much food and water here. My idea is to build a bamboo raft with two layers.¡± ¡°Because we have to move in the sea. The seawater is different from ordinary rivers. The wind and waves here are huge, and they can cause damage to the bamboo raft. Moreover, seawater has a certain corrosive property.¡± ¡°In the vast sea, I don¡¯t have to say much about what the shattering of the bamboo raft means.¡± ¡°The double layer bamboo raft can provide us with greater buoyancy and strength.¡± ¡°With enough binding materials, even if it is attacked by the waves, it will not be broken.¡± ¡°The most important thing is that the double-layered bamboo raft can let us have as little contact with the sea as possible.¡± ¡°We can put something buoyant in the middle of the bamboo raft.¡± ¡°Everyone knows that plastic bottles and coconut have buoyancy that can be used to fill the layers.¡± ¡°In addition, we have to create a sail to control the general direction of the bamboo raft.¡± ¡°I¡¯m not used to the feeling of placing my life in the hands of fate, so I have to choose the direction myself.¡± ¡°If you follow the waves in the sea, there¡¯s a high chance that you will go farther and farther away from the shore.¡± ¡°But with a sail, the result will be different. We can use the wind to go where we want to go.¡± After explaining everything, Bell looked at Natalie and the others. ¡°We need about 25 bamboo poles. Because we have more people, we have to create a larger bamboo raft.¡± ¡°After chopping the bamboo, we will dry it on the beach and evaporate as much water as possible. This way, the buoyancy will be greater.¡± ¡°The mission today is divided into three parts. A team will gather buoyant things for the bamboo raft.¡± ¡°The other team will go and gather food and water.¡± ¡°I¡¯ll cut the bamboo and bring it back to the beach.¡± Bell handed the four women the two most idle missions. As for the food, because there was still the bull shark left, it was not an urgent issue. As long as they were lucky enough to find fresh water, it would be good, but it was fine even if they could not find it. They still had a few coconuts that they could use as a reserve water source. As for the filling, it was quite simple. There were sometimes some foamed plastics and empty bottles on the shore. Overall, there was no difficulty. Bell began another day of work. Cutting and transporting more than 20 bamboo poles, even with Bell¡¯s current stamina, he was exhausted. Bell worked until evening before completing the task. Read latest Chapters at Wuxia World . Site Only Fortunately, Scarlett and the others did not disappoint Bell. They had completed their tasks as well. Keira Knightley was clearly much luckier today. She even found a few sea cucumbers and some oysters by the sea. ¡°Not bad, it seems like you have grasped some techniques. You have to collect the useful things.¡± ¡°We can¡¯t ignore food and water.¡± Chapter 103 - Modification of the Raft Everything was prepared. The sky was gradually turning dark. Scarlett and the others were gradually getting used to life on the island. Even without Bell¡¯s guidance, they could search for food on this beach. This made Bell feel relieved. As for Bell, he was busy making the bamboo raft. There was no rope on the island. Therefore, Bell still chose the previous method. He used the fibers of the banana tree to weave the ropes. While busy with his work, Bell did not forget to explain his actions to the audience in the live-stream. ¡°Back in the primeval forest in Shennongjia, I remember saying that in this wilderness, ropes are an important tool second only to knives.¡± ¡°Only by being in the wilderness can you understand the meaning of this sentence.¡± ¡°Whether it is building a shelter or making tools, even drilling wood to start a fire, rope is an indispensable tool.¡± While speaking, Bell had already dried the fibers of the banana trees. ¡°The seawater contains a lot of salt and is very corrosive. The ropes woven from these fibers will become soft after soaking in seawater for a day.¡± ¡°Therefore, we have to use other methods to remedy this shortcoming. We can tie a few more fibers to create a thicker rope.¡± ¡°This can prevent the problem of the ropes to a certain extent and prevent the bamboo raft from collapsing.¡± ¡°Your bamboo raft is tied to your life in the sea.¡± Bell said solemnly. He did not dare to be careless about this. ¡°There was a real incident in the Atlantic. A freighter crashed into a hidden reef, causing the hull to be damaged and sunk. One of the crew members on this ship was washed to an uninhabited island by the sea.¡± ¡°Rumor has it that the deserted island was similar to this island. It also lacks food and water resources.¡± ¡°This crew member made a raft just like we are doing now, but unfortunately, a day after he went out to sea, he encountered a storm. This crew member jumped into the sea and hugged the bamboo raft tightly.¡± ¡°This is a correct decision.¡± ¡°In a situation where the wind and waves are too strong, if you still choose to sit on the bamboo raft, it will only increase the pressure on the bamboo raft. In this case, it¡¯s better to choose to enter the sea and tie yourself to the bamboo raft.¡± ¡°If the bamboo raft is not destroyed by the seawater, at least it can give you enough buoyancy.¡± ¡°Although the crew member fainted, he was still saved.¡± ¡°Even while unconscious, he was still holding onto the bamboo raft tightly.¡± Bell had already finished weaving the rope. The people in the live-stream were amazed when they heard Bell¡¯s story. At the same time, many fans cheered for Bell. Bell¡¯s fans continued to increase. Scarlett and the others had finished preparing dinner. As expected, it was the bull shark meat and some oysters. However, Bell still ate happily. When Bell was telling the story just now, they also listened. After knowing that moving on the sea was so dangerous, they couldn¡¯t help but be nervous. Bell could only comfort them verbally. After all, not everyone could accept floating on the boundless sea on a bamboo raft. It was already night time. Come and read on our website wuxia worldsite. Thanks The fire crackled at night. The night passed quickly. In his sleep, Bell felt a few lumps of softness pressing on him. It even made it difficult for him to breathe. Bell opened his eyes. In his hazy vision, something were pressing against his chest. Rubbing his eyes, he saw that, at some point, Keira and Scarlett had already run to his side. The two were on either side of him, pressing against him. He was held between the two like a teddy bear. Natalie Portman and Annie Hathaway accompanied each other while keeping guard. However, the two of them seemed to be unable to hold on anymore as they kept lowering their heads. ¡°Alright, you guys can go and rest. It¡¯s my turn.¡± After breaking free from the restraints of Keira and Scarlett, Bell walked to Annie and Natalie. ¡°It¡¯s okay. You have worked hard today. You can rest for a while more. We can sleep after dawn.¡± Natalie acted like an understanding older sister. Bell, who was holding in his exhaustion, smiled. Bell knew that she was trying to hold on. He shook his head and pushed the two of them into the shelter. ¡°It¡¯s still some time before dawn.¡± ¡°If you¡¯re alone in the wilderness, you should not sleep too much. You need to stay vigilant at all times.¡± ¡°Although this island is not big, there might be other beasts.¡± ¡°Moreover, we are not the only ones living on this island.¡± Because of the night, there were not as many fans in the live-stream as in the daytime. But many people were still interacting with Bell. ¡°Host, are you going out to sea today?¡± ¡°I hope everything goes smoothly.¡± Bell only smiled and did not answer. Going out to the sea was not a small matter. He had to consider the weather and food. ¡°We can build the bamboo raft first while the weather is cool.¡± ¡°As for whether we can go out to sea, that will depend on the weather.¡± Seeing that the girls were already asleep, Bell did not disturb them. Instead, he secretly moved away. Making the bamboo raft was not simple. Even Bell felt it a little troublesome. This was different from the simple bamboo raft he had built in Shennongjia. Shennongjia was only a freshwater river that was not corrosive. Moreover, even if he was washed down the river, Bell could easily swim to the shore. But in this vast sea, Bell was not confident that he could survive in the sea. Therefore, he had to spend more effort on the bamboo raft. ¡°We have a large number of people, and we can¡¯t split up, so the bamboo raft has to be slightly larger.¡± Read latest Chapters at Wuxia World . Site Only ¡°It has to be at least five meters long.¡± ¡°As for its width, it needs to accommodate at least three people side by side.¡± ¡°On the right side of the bamboo raft, there has to be a heavier piece of wood as a frame.¡± ¡°This can maintain the stability of the bamboo raft to a certain extent.¡± Bell began to work while talking. Chapter 104 - Sunburn More than ten bamboo were placed side by side by Bell. He took out the rope that he had made yesterday and tied them tightly. This layer was the main body of the bamboo raft. Because it was the main structure, it had to be very firm. For this, Bell did not mind wasting more ropes and tying more rounds around it. Then, he used some thick branches that he had gathered over the past few days as a support frame. It took a while before Bell finished tying them all up. When he finished this, the sky was starting to brighten. The sun gradually rose. Keira and Scarlett who had slept earlier woke up. Seeing Bell¡¯s busy figure, the two of them came over. ¡°Bell, why are you up so early? You haven¡¯t eaten, right? Why don¡¯t I find something to eat? There¡¯s still some meat left from the bull shark.¡± Hearing Scarlett¡¯s words, Bell felt a wave of hunger. He nodded. ¡°Alright. Let¡¯s eat together later. If the weather is good, we¡¯ll be heading out to sea today.¡± Scarlett went to make breakfast, while Keira Knightley looked at Bell, who was busy making the raft. Not knowing what to do, she moved to Bell¡¯s side and asked carefully. ¡°Can I do anything?¡± After what happened yesterday, Keira Knightley stopped showing off in front of Bell. Some things were indeed better left to the professionals. Keira comforted herself. Seeing Keira¡¯s reserved expression, Bell smiled. ¡°I need some coconut shells. These can be used as filling for the bamboo raft to increase buoyancy.¡± ¡°If you want to, you can help me find some.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t worry, leave it to me.¡± Keira nodded happily and turned to search for the coconut shells. Seeing that the two of them were working, Bell rested for a while. The sun gradually rose, and his exposed skin felt a slight sting. Looking at his arm, Bell smiled bitterly. ¡°Do you see this? Your skin can be easily injured by the sun if you are exposed to ultraviolet radiation for a long time.¡± ¡°Just like how I am now.¡± Bell¡¯s arms had reddened. ¡°If you are exposed to ultraviolet radiation for a long time, your skin will show red spots and feel a slight sting. Then, your skin will become red and swollen.¡± ¡°By the way, I have to remind everyone not to use seawater to clean the skin.¡± ¡°The salinity in the sea is quite high, and it can corrode the skin.¡± Bell took out the canteen. After drinking a mouthful, he poured some water and smeared it on his skin. The red spots on his skin gradually began to disappear. ¡°This island is on the equator. The ultraviolet light here is stronger than in other places. Fortunately, we haven¡¯t been exposed to it for too long. We can recover after a short rest.¡± The fans heaved a sigh of relief. ¡°I thought Bell was going to fail due to the sunlight.¡± ¡°Previous poster, you¡¯re overthinking.¡± ¡°Can ultraviolet light be so serious?¡± Come and read on our website wuxia worldsite. Thanks Some fans who lived in different environments could not help but feel strange when they saw Bell like this. After all, they had not experienced it themselves. Bell understood. ¡°The ultraviolet light near the equator is indeed strong enough, and it can cause direct harm to the human body.¡± ¡°There was a boat that hit a reef in the Pacific Ocean. A couple floated on a lifeboat and relied on the fish and their urine to survive for more than ten days.¡± ¡°The two of them were indeed saved, like you might have guessed.¡± ¡°But during the ten or so days, the two of them were exposed to the intense sunlight, causing their skin to be sunburned and severely ulcerated.¡± ¡°The severity is not something ordinary people can imagine.¡± Bell said solemnly. ¡°Oh my god, just hearing it makes me feel uncomfortable.¡± ¡°F*ck, host, I¡¯m eating.¡± ¡°Being covered in sunburn would be worse than death.¡± ¡°Are you saying that their whole bodies were covered with blisters?¡± Some of the fans who had not thought much of what Bell had said closed their mouths when they heard that such a serious consequence would occur after being exposed to ultraviolet light for a long time. ¡°Alright, don¡¯t be too worried. Although this situation is very dangerous, as long as we take appropriate precautions, I believe this will not happen.¡± ¡°I can teach everyone a few methods here.¡± ¡°When your skin feels hot and painful after being sunburned, don¡¯t be in a hurry to take a cold shower. It¡¯s best if you can find a cool place. When the temperature gradually falls, you can spray some cold water on the areas that are painful.¡± ¡°Will this leave a scar?¡± Under the tree, the pain in Bell¡¯s skin began to subside. He rested for only half an hour. This was all thanks to the system¡¯s change. If it were an ordinary eight-year-old child, they would probably have to rest for an entire day in this situation. Even an adult would take several hours. Just as Bell was about to get up and continue working, Scarlett¡¯s voice came from afar. ¡°Bell, stop working, come and eat.¡± Bell could only stop his actions. ¡°This is a good thing about group survival in Wilderness Survival. We can take care of different things. At least for now, I don¡¯t have to worry about food.¡± Bell shrugged at the audience. Seeing Scarlett busy herself in front of the fire, many fans teased. ¡°Our top celebrity has actually become someone¡¯s personal chef.¡± ¡°I don¡¯t know who to envy.¡± ¡°The host is so cute.¡± As time passed, the number of fans in Bell¡¯s live-stream increased. To Bell¡¯s surprise, Scarlett Johansson did not just cook bull shark meat. She had even found some oysters and a lobster. Looking at Scarlett¡¯s shy expression, Bell knew that this girl was probably not convinced of her failure before and had tried again. Fortunately, she had gained something this time. She was quite a strong-minded woman. Bell smiled and shook his head. Read latest Chapters at Wuxia World . Site Only Natalie Portman and Annie were already awake. Seeing the prepared food and the bamboo raft, the two were very embarrassed. ¡°Alright, let¡¯s eat together. The two of you have been guarding the night. It¡¯s been hard on you.¡± At this moment, Bell played the role of a team leader. His words were very convincing. Chapter 105 - Catching Red Stingray, Food Preservation With the help of the group, the bamboo raft was quickly built. Bell said to the camera, ¡°Alright, everyone, it looks like the weather today is good. It¡¯s very suitable to go to the sea.¡± ¡°But before going out to the sea, we have to prepare enough food.¡± The women¡¯s task today was very simple. It was to gather as much food as possible. As for Bell, he swam towards the shallow water again with the harpoon. After the past few days of survival, the number of oysters on the shore had greatly decreased. If he wanted to find enough food, he could only focus on the fish. It was still morning. The temperature of the sea was not high. Fortunately, Bell¡¯s physique was good, and he would be fine for the time being. It was very difficult to open one¡¯s eyes in the sea. The sea water was filled with a large amount of salt, making the eyes feel abnormally dry and painful. Therefore, Bell could only reduce the time he spent underwater. However, Bell was not lucky today. After diving a few times, he still did not gain anything. ¡°Looks like there isn¡¯t much fish nearby. Let¡¯s search elsewhere.¡± Bell said helplessly. He had wanted to slack off and search in an easy spot. But now, it seemed impossible. ¡°We can go to a deeper place to take a look.¡± ¡°Many fish like to hide in coral reefs.¡± Bell swam towards the deep water. After diving two more times, he finally found his target. It was a red stingray hidden in the gaps of the coral reef. The stingray was eating a jellyfish. For some reason, when Bell was about a meter away from the red stingray, it noticed him. Sensing danger, it immediately tried to escape. Bell seized the opportunity and stabbed with his harpoon, his actions so fast that a row of bubbles appeared in the water. The harpoon hit the stingray accurately. Bell floated to the surface with his spoils of war. This red stingray was not small. It was the size of a face basin and was about 5 kilograms. Having obtained food, Bell had a smile on his face. ¡°Look at this red stingray.¡± The camera zoomed in. The red stingray on the harpoon was clearly shown on the screen. ¡°Red stingray has other names as well. It looks like a ray fish, but it is not as big as them.¡± Bell carefully held the red stingray. Everyone was very puzzled. Why was Bell looking so cautious? Bell continued, ¡°If you want to catch a red stingray in the wild, you have to be careful because there will be venomous spinal blades on their tail.¡± ¡°It¡¯s not fatal, but it will be troublesome if you are stabbed.¡± Come and read on our website wuxia worldsite. Thanks ¡°Although this red stingray is not small, it is not enough to provide for the five of us. We have to find some other food as reserves.¡± After putting the red stingray on the shore, Bell dived again. This red stingray seemed to have brought Bell some luck. Compared to before, Bell caught many preys in the next few attempts. In less than two hours, Bell caught five to six fish. ¡°Alright, this should be enough for us to eat for a while. With the food found by Scarlett and the others, we can survive at sea for a while.¡± Bell said with satisfaction. He went ashore and skillfully started a fire. ¡°Some of my old fans probably already know what I am doing.¡± ¡°That¡¯s right. Fresh fish meat is not easy to preserve. I don¡¯t know how long we will have to stay afloat the sea. To ensure that the food in our hands is not wasted, we need to extend the shelf life of the food as much as possible.¡± ¡°Smoking them is undoubtedly the best choice.¡± Bell took out his dagger and cut the fish into palm-sized pieces. After the bright fire in the fire was extinguished, and only charcoal was left, Bell spread a layer of fresh green leaves on it. Under the high temperature, smoke began to rise. Bell took the opportunity to build a simple barbecue pit with bamboo. Then, he placed the fish meat on the grill and smoked it. ¡°I¡¯ve told everyone about the principle of storing food.¡± ¡°The reproduction of the bacteria requires water. The high temperature will quickly evaporate the water, ensuring that the food will not deteriorate in a short time.¡± ¡°The smoke caused by the charcoal and leaves below is high in temperature. It can quickly evaporate the water in the fish, but it will not completely cook the fish and cause the protein to change.¡± ¡°When these fish are smoked, they can be stored for at least a week.¡± While Bell was talking, Scarlett and the others hurried back. Following Bell¡¯s instructions, the few of them were able to gather some food. Of course, it was mostly oysters. After all, they were easy to catch. And, they did not have to step into any danger. Bell understood this. After all, they were not professional survivalists. It would be too harsh to ask them to gather something else. In addition to the oysters, Scarlett was holding a few coconuts. This made Bell¡¯s eyes light up. He was thinking of finding a few coconuts to refine coconut oil, but he did not expect Scarlett to gather them. ¡®Looks like a team survival competition is easier than an individual round. At least it saved me from a lot of trouble.¡¯ Bell took the coconuts from Scarlett. ¡°We need to refine some coconut oil now.¡± ¡°Coconut oil can save our skin from sunburn.¡± The women were interested when they heard Bell say that there was a way to avoid skin sunburn. What they were most worried about was not a life and death crisis, but damage to their skin. They were top female celebrities after all, and had to pay attention to their image. Read latest Chapters at Wuxia World . Site Only The four of them had wanted to wait until after Wilderness Survival to do some skincare. After all, being exposed to the sun all day, their skin had turned several degrees darker. They had also heard about the danger of sunburn when Bell talked about it earlier. Therefore, they were especially concerned about this. However, there seemed to be a way to resolve this problem. Chapter 106 - Coconut Oil ¡°Are these coconuts enough, Bell? Should we find more?¡± Annie Hathaway asked with concern. ¡°Yeah, although there are not many coconuts that fell, we should be able to find some on the other areas of the island.¡± Keira Knightley added. Scarlett looked helpless as she said, ¡°Unfortunately, many of the coconuts are on the trees. Otherwise, we wouldn¡¯t have to walk so far. The coconut trees are too tall.¡± Bell smiled. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, there¡¯s no need to walk so far. It¡¯s just climbing a tree. I can do it.¡± Everyone was stunned. Scarlett said worriedly, ¡°Can you really do it? The coconut trees are too tall. There are no safety tools here.¡± Scarlett could not be blamed for this. Normal coconut trees were 15 to 30 meters tall. If a person fell from this height, the consequences were obvious. Most importantly, coconut trees were not like other trees. Without branches, there was no way to find a foothold. Seeing their worried looks, Bell smiled and said mysteriously. ¡°Don¡¯t worry. Since I said so, there is a way.¡± ¡°There are too few coconuts. They are not enough for the five of us.¡± ¡°Moreover, coconuts are a rare water resource. We have to collect more. It will be even more difficult to obtain fresh water at sea.¡± Seeing that Bell had made the decision, Scarlett Johansson could not say anything else. She could only pray that Bell would be fine. Bell looked around and finally locked his gaze on a coconut tree not far away. It was more than 20 meters tall. There were six to seven coconuts on the top of the coconut tree. It looked like the coconuts were almost mature, but they had not fallen off. ¡°This tree then.¡± ¡°Host, isn¡¯t this tree a little too tall?¡± In the live-stream, many audience members saw that Bell had chosen such a tall tree and could not help but be worried. Bell smiled. ¡°This coconut tree is indeed not short, but I have a way. Of course, I am not talking about climbing it bare-handed.¡± ¡°I will use a climbing method of some natives. It¡¯s not difficult to climb such a tree with it.¡± Bell returned to the shelter and removed the ropes. He tied the ends of the rope into a dead knot and weaved into ¡®8¡¯ shape. Then, he stepped his feet into the two holes of the loop. After testing the toughness of the rope, Bell nodded in satisfaction. ¡°Not bad, this rope should be able to withstand my weight.¡± The audience in the live-stream couldn¡¯t help but be puzzled when they saw Bell¡¯s actions. They did not know what Bell was doing. Bell smiled. ¡°Actually, this method of climbing is very simple. You just need to grasp a certain technique. Now, I will give everyone a demonstration.¡± With that, Bell jumped onto the tree trunk like an ape. His feet were spread out, and were pressed tightly against the trunk of the coconut tree. He was like a frog as he used the strength in his legs to move upwards. In just a moment, he climbed to a height of several meters. It did not look like it was difficult at all. ¡°When climbing, try your best to use the strength of your legs. Your hands are only responsible for grabbing the tree trunk and maintaining balance.¡± ¡°The most important thing about this method of climbing is the rope.¡± ¡°I believe some of the audience have already guessed the effect of the rope. It increases the friction with the tree trunk.¡± Come and read on our website wuxia worldsite. Thanks ¡°The increase in friction will let us easily stick to the tree trunk and save a lot of strength.¡± After hearing Bell¡¯s explanation, some of the audience in the live-stream were enlightened. While they were talking, Bell had already climbed to the top of the tree. Bang! Bell plucked a huge coconut and threw it on the beach. Although this coconut tree had many coconuts, there were not many usable ones. In the end, Bell only harvested four coconuts. ¡°Four coconuts should be enough for one person, but we have a lot of people, so we need to try to find more.¡± ¡°The method to go down is the same as when we came up.¡± ¡°But we have to be careful.¡± In the end, Bell climbed four coconut trees to gather enough coconuts for the five of them. Scarlett felt her heart ache. Keira Knightley sensibly opened a coconut for Bell and cooked some oysters to replenish his energy. Time passed slowly. Bell opened the coconuts one by one. The green-skinned coconut did not have as much liquid as the ones seen in markets. After opening the coconut, there was more milky white flesh. The few of them spent a lot of effort crushing the coconut meat until it was sticky before stopping. After another round of heating them, Bell finally obtained what he wanted: coconut oil. He touched it gently and moved it to the camera. ¡°Look, this is coconut oil we extracted.¡± ¡°This coconut oil is very soapy. It can block ultraviolet light.¡± ¡°Although it¡¯s not as useful as sunscreen, we really don¡¯t have a choice in our current situation.¡± After all, they were in the wild. True survivalists could only search for a way to survive in the environment. They were not qualified to talk about any conditions with the environment. Then, Bell looked at Scarlett and the other women. ¡°Be careful when applying coconut oil. Don¡¯t put it near your eyes.¡± ¡°If it enters your eyes, you will feel extreme pain.¡± The few of them nodded to show that they understood. ¡°We have fresh water, food, and coconut oil now. The weather is perfect. It¡¯s time to set off.¡± ¡°To be honest, I¡¯m quite looking forward to it.¡± ¡°I wonder if we can be saved successfully by riding the bamboo raft that we made ourselves.¡± Scarlett and the others looked nervous. After all, this was an unprecedented challenge. The calm surface of the sea actually contained countless dangers. Read latest Chapters at Wuxia World . Site Only Even a huge cruise ship would not be safe on the sea. But now, Bell was going to conquer this sea with just the bamboo raft he made. Apart from feeling nervous, everyone also had a trace of anticipation. They were looking forward to seeing Bell succeed. ¡°Alright, don¡¯t just watch. Give me a hand, we need to move the raft to the water.¡± Chapter 107 - Set Sail Scarlett and the others started working immediately. Although they were women, their physique was not bad. In addition, the bamboo raft was hollow. With the five of them working together, they lifted it up. The only awkward thing was that among the five, Bell was carrying it on his shoulder, while the other four were using their hands to lift the bottom of the bamboo raft, looking inexplicably funny. The audience in the live-stream laughed. The five of them pushed the bamboo raft into the water with some difficulty. Bell was very confident when the bamboo raft entered the water. After all, he had succeeded in it before. But sometimes, face-slaps happened so quickly. The bamboo raft that looked good on the water just now became strange when it touched deeper water. After the bamboo raft entered the water, it was impossible to maintain its balance. The main part was actually leaning into the sea. If anyone sat on it, it would probably be overturned. Scarlett Johansson and the others were speechless when they saw the bamboo raft. She looked at Bell doubtfully. There was even a trace of teasing in her eyes. It was mainly because Bell¡¯s performance was too perfect. He had never made a mistake. Seeing Bell¡¯s mistake, they were not depressed. Instead, they were gloating. In fact, the four of them had similar reactions to the audience. ¡°Haha, so the host can fail too.¡± ¡°Collapsing so easily .¡± ¡°The goal collapsed before it even started.¡± ¡°Who was so confident just now?¡± Bell scratched his head awkwardly and was a little embarrassed. ¡°This face-slap sure is fast. Let¡¯s check and see what the problem is.¡± The bamboo raft could not go out to sea in this situation. But the bamboo raft was already in the water. It was difficult to move it back to the beach. The weight of the bamboo raft increased greatly after it entered the water. The five of them were not strong enough. Moreover, this would take too much time. In the end, Bell could only choose to work in the water. After a round of examination, Bell finally knew the reason. Because he made double layers for the bamboo raft, and there was only a log on the side, it could not maintain balance after entering the water. This was why it was starting to lean to the side. ¡°Alright, everyone, this is my mistake. I forgot that the bamboo raft this time is dual-layer.¡± If it had been on the beach, Bell would have chosen to modify it. But he could not do so now. After some thought, Bell made a decision. He took out his dagger and removed the outer frame. The reduced weight finally returned the balance to the bamboo raft. With everything in place, the few of them quickly moved the water resources they had prepared to the bamboo raft. In order to grasp the general direction in the water, Bell even made a simple oar. ¡°Let¡¯s go. Our goal is the starry sea!¡± After boarding the bamboo raft, Bell was delighted and made a joke, making everyone laugh again. Bell adjusted the sail, and the bamboo raft slowly floated on the sea. After Scarlett and the other girls calmed down, they felt a little nervous facing the endless sea. In the end, the greatest sense of security was having two feet on the ground. Unknowingly, the four women were sitting near Bell. It seemed to ease their minds. Come and read on our website wuxia worldsite. Thanks Bell looked calm. ¡°We have already left the island. I don¡¯t know what the situation will turn out to be like.¡± ¡°But this is a step we have to take. On such a desolate island, going out to sea is the only chance of survival.¡± ¡°Not only on this island, but also in other wilderness areas, we are looking for a way to survive.¡± ¡°This is a challenge of nature.¡± ¡°After crossing many dangers, a person¡¯s mentality will change.¡± ¡°Your heart will become incomparably strong.¡± ¡°As long as you have a belief, it will make you endure the harshness.¡± ¡°For example, in this situation, on the endless sea, as long as you give me some small gifts, I will be able to continue!¡± The serious Bell suddenly made a sharp turn. Everyone almost broke down. ¡°Pfft.¡± Seeing Bell¡¯s expression, Scarlett couldn¡¯t help but cover her mouth and laugh. The other women were the same. They were clearly amused. ¡°This fellow doesn¡¯t forget to tease no matter the situation.¡± Scarlett rolled her eyes at Bell. Keira nodded in agreement. ¡°That¡¯s right. We¡¯re already at sea, but he¡¯s still having fun!¡± The few of them began to tease Bell. Bell did not care. ¡°Of course. Didn¡¯t I say that in the wild, you have to have a strong and tenacious heart? No matter what the situation is, you have to maintain a calm and optimistic mentality.¡± Bell smiled brightly again. Scarlett and the others finally understood that Bell was not joking but helping them adjust their mentality. The audience was enlightened. ¡°Host, isn¡¯t this too heartwarming?¡± ¡°He knows how to pick up girls at such a young age. What will happen when he grows up?¡± ¡°There¡¯s no need to grow up. I feel like I¡¯m already falling into his pace. Host, come back quickly. Sister will love you dearly.¡± In the live-stream, the conversation was going astray. Bell ignored it. Time passed slowly, and it was soon noon. The sunlight was even more dazzling. At the same time, the temperature of the sea gradually increased. Bell felt his skin heat up. Looking at Scarlett and the others, their conditions were similar to his. He knew that this was because of the sun. ¡°Everyone, take out the coconut oil you prepared and apply it to your exposed skin,¡± Bell said. Hearing Bell¡¯s words, the girls did not dare to delay and quickly followed his instructions. ¡°Although coconut oil can prevent sunburn, unfortunately, it can¡¯t affect fairness.¡± After experiencing the sun for the past few days, Bell¡¯s exposed skin was already different from the parts that were covered by his clothes. However, to Bell¡¯s surprise, Scarlett and the others did not seem to experience such changes. This made Bell complain inwardly. Can all beauties prevent UV rays naturally? Unfortunately, no one could answer his question. Everything was prepared. Bell sat on the bamboo raft in boredom. Read latest Chapters at Wuxia World . Site Only Scarlett and the others were the same. Time seemed to slow. Bell chatted with the audience from time to time. In the broadcast room, everyone saw Bell¡¯s condition. Seeing that Bell really dared to lead the group into the vast sea, the female host could not help but worry. Chapter 108 - Unspoken Understanding on the Sea The female host looked at Ed and Bear and asked, ¡°Our contestant, Bell, has already left the island. I believe the audience is very curious. I want to ask on behalf of the audience if, in your experience, there is a chance of Bell being saved?¡± Ed and Bear were experts in wilderness survival, so they naturally had the right to speak about this. In this world¡¯s wilderness survival, the two of them could be said to have authority. As long as the two of them made a judgment, they rarely made mistakes. Li Ziqi pricked up her ears when she heard the host¡¯s question. After interacting with Bell for a while, Li Ziqi treated Bell like her younger brother. Seeing Bell sail so rashly, although Li Ziqi criticized inwardly, she could not do anything. She could only pray for Bell¡¯s safety. Therefore, she was paying attention to Bear and Ed¡¯s evaluation. She wanted to hear Bell¡¯s chances from their mouths. But this time, Bear and Ed disappointed her. Bear and Ed shook their heads. Seeing the two of them like this, everyone was shocked. Her heart was in her mouth. ¡°What¡¯s going on? Ed and Bear aren¡¯t talking. Is Bell in danger?¡± ¡°No way, did Bell forget something?¡± ¡°Sigh, he is still too young. If it were authoritative figures like Ed and Bear, there definitely wouldn¡¯t be a problem.¡± ¡°I don¡¯t think so. Everyone has seen Bell¡¯s performance these days. His level might be higher than Ed and Bear¡¯s!¡± For a moment, everyone was discussing. Some stood for Bell, while others stood for Ed and Bear. ¡°Can you guys stop arguing? Ed and Bear haven¡¯t even spoken yet. Maybe it¡¯s not what you guys are thinking at all.¡± There were also many people who were rational. Seeing Ed and Bear shake their heads, the female host¡¯s heart tightened. Without waiting for the instructions of the production team, she asked impatiently. ¡°Ed, Bear, are you saying that Bell might not be able to pass this Wilderness Survival test?¡± ¡°Did he miss something?¡± The beautiful host had the same thoughts as the others. They felt that Bell had forgotten something that made the two of them behave like this. Bear said. ¡°No, everyone is mistaken. The reason we shook our heads is not to say that Bell did anything wrong.¡± ¡°On the contrary, Bell¡¯s performance this time is perfect as usual.¡± Ed also nodded in agreement. ¡°That¡¯s right. After so many shows, Bell can be said to be the most professional contestant I¡¯ve ever seen.¡± The two wilderness survival specialists gave Bell a very high evaluation. But it was because of this that everyone was confused again. Since Bell was so outstanding, why were the two of them shaking their heads when the host asked if Bell could successfully escape? Ed seemed to guess everyone¡¯s thoughts and smiled strangely. ¡°The reason why we didn¡¯t answer this lady¡¯s question is that we can¡¯t judge Bell¡¯s current situation.¡± ¡°The weather at sea is unpredictable. A storm can happen at any time.¡± ¡°In fact, if I were alone here, I would probably choose to wait for the plane to rescue me because this is the safest method.¡± Come and read on our website wuxia worldsite. Thanks ¡°Once you fall into the sea, it¡¯s impossible to rescue you in time.¡± Everyone finally understood. It turned out that Bell had not done anything wrong, but he had chosen a more aggressive method. Everyone expressed understanding. Ed was talking about waiting for rescue because he was alone. Moreover, there would be no competitors. But Bell was different. Beside Bell were four noobs in the wilderness survival field. The resources consumed by the five of them increased exponentially, be it food or water. There were not enough resources on the deserted island to support them while they waited for a plane to pass. Going out to sea was their only way out. After hearing Ed and Bear¡¯s explanation, everyone was worried. In the leader¡¯s office, the man was holding a phone. ¡°Send the rescue team out. Once anything happens to Bell, begin the rescue immediately.¡± The television station was betting on Bell. They would not allow anything to happen to him. Currently, it looked like it would not be easy for Bell to bring Scarlett and the other three to the civilized world. He had achieved his goal and could not let anything happen to them. The subordinates naturally did not dare to be careless. Before anything happened to Bell, the rescue team had already begun to move. But Bell did not know about this. At this moment, Bell was still sitting on the bamboo raft with Scarlett and the others. He was chatting with the audience. ¡°Now that our bamboo raft is sailing on the sea, I am not expecting to return to the civilized world smoothly. Because with our bamboo raft, it¡¯s almost impossible to sail back to the shore. I am mostly looking to encounter ships.¡± ¡°Although the various countries don¡¯t have explicit rules that the ships traveling at sea have to rescue those in danger, it is an unspoken understanding for them to do it.¡± ¡°I believe that most of you don¡¯t know that there are many ships that meet mishaps every year in the sea. No one can guarantee that they will be safe. With the unspoken rule of saving those in distress, the chances of survival of the crew around the world will increase. Therefore, no one will break this rule.¡± ¡°Even the most ferocious pirates will not break this rule.¡± Bell knew very well that the desolate island he had been on was 500 nautical miles away from the shore. Not to mention a small bamboo raft, even taking a speedboat would take eight hours to reach it. What was a speedboat? 50 nautical miles per hour. He looked at his bamboo raft. Bell could only chuckle. Fortunately, the season was not bad, and there should be many people taking a vacation. Therefore, the probability of encountering a ship was higher. Bell was betting on this. Scarlett and the others heaved a sigh of relief when they heard Bell¡¯s explanation. Read latest Chapters at Wuxia World . Site Only They really thought that Bell was going to take the bamboo raft and sail back to the civilized world. If that was the case, the few of them would probably have no choice but to give up. Time passed slowly, and Bell¡¯s bamboo raft was getting further and further away from the uninhabited island. At that moment, the surroundings were already a vast sea. There was nothing else. A lonely feeling surrounded the few of them, making them feel abnormally uneasy. Chapter 109 - No Damage Without Comparison Time passed. The sun was hanging above Bell and the others. It was already the hottest time of the day. The few people on the bamboo raft felt like they were about to be roasted dry. ¡°No, I can¡¯t hold on anymore. I have to take a bath.¡± Bell took out a rope and tied it to his wrist, then tied the other end to the bamboo raft. Shaking the rope in his hand, Bell said, ¡°Before we dive into the sea, we have to tie ourselves to the bamboo raft.¡± ¡°This way, we don¡¯t have to worry about the bamboo raft drifting away from us.¡± ¡°This kind of situation can happen.¡± Thump. Bell took a deep breath and plunged into the sea. Scarlett and the others looked at Bell and did not jump into the sea. At this moment, the bamboo raft was far away from the island. They were a little afraid of going into the water in such a place. Bell did not care. After jumping into the water, the cool seawater enveloped him. At the same time, the temperature of the surface of his body decreased. It felt very comfortable. After Bell, Scarlett and the others soaked in the sea for a while. The pressure was relieved. The afternoon passed quickly, and night gradually fell. For the entire day, the few of them only ate a small portion of fish and water. They had to save on food on the sea. The waves gently shook the bamboo raft. In addition to the refreshing sea breeze, Bell was exhausted and quickly fell asleep. At the same time, in the Wilderness Survival¡¯s production team¡¯s broadcast room. Seeing that Bell and the others were already floating on the sea, they were worried and looking forward to it. After several rounds of elimination, only Bell and two other teams were left. The other two teams did not choose to sail with the bamboo raft. Instead, they chose to stay on the island and wait for rescue. However, after these days, the food resources were gradually becoming tight. Everyone could tell that if this continued, the two teams would soon be unable to hold on. In comparison, although it was dangerous for Bell to go out to sea, he was the team with the highest chance of success. This also allowed more audience to enter Bell¡¯s live-stream. In the office, the middle-aged man had a serious expression. ¡°No matter what, you have to watch Bell carefully. Nothing can go wrong!¡± The man said seriously. His subordinate nodded quickly. Bell was now representing their entire Wilderness Survival program, so they naturally did not dare to be careless. In the broadcast room, Ed and Bear were not paying attention to Bell¡¯s live broadcast. Instead, they were looking at the other two teams. As special guests invited by the Wilderness Survival¡¯s production team, they had to commentate on the other teams as well. ¡°It seems like our other two contestants are not in a good situation.¡± ¡°That¡¯s right. The resources on this island are limited. Food is secondary. The most important thing is fresh water. It¡¯s not enough to support their survival for too long.¡± ¡°Actually, thinking about it now, Bell¡¯s choice was the best.¡± a€?Maybe he already thought of this situation.a€? ¡°That¡¯s right, a qualified survivalist has to be able to predict the arrival of danger.¡± In the live broadcast. The other two teams sat in front of the fire. The two pairs had already met. However, the atmosphere between the ten of them was not good. Instead, they were complaining to each other. Come and read on our website wuxia worldsite. Thanks ¡°The five of you can¡¯t even find water after an entire day. You¡¯re really a burden.¡± A beautiful woman had a look of disdain. Among the ten people, the woman was the most famous. She was an internet celebrity with millions of fans. Her first thought of participating in the show was to partner with Bell. This could increase her reputation. Unfortunately, the production team did not take this level of internet celebrity seriously. In the end, they only randomly assigned her a team. However, the woman¡¯s luck was good. The team she was assigned to had the longest survival time. It had more or less increased his number of her fans. Therefore, the few of them had gotten along quite well. However, as time passed, the resources they had decreased. The contradictions gradually appeared. Hearing the woman¡¯s words, the few people who were arranged to find water couldn¡¯t sit still. ¡°What do you mean? We didn¡¯t find water, but did you find food?¡± ¡°Who was the one who desperately stopped us from going out to sea?¡± ¡°Hmph! There¡¯s only so much food on the island. It¡¯s almost used up. Where can I find it?¡± The woman exploded like a cat whose tail had been stepped on. The ten-man team was arguing non-stop. The few of them could not care less about the live broadcast or their baggage teammates. In the broadcast room, Ed and Bear shook their heads. ¡°Looks like our two teams are in trouble.¡± ¡°This can also be considered a test. In a situation where resources are scarce, can they maintain the stability of the team?¡± ¡°If they continue arguing like this, they might have to part ways tomorrow.¡± ¡°The two teams will probably not be able to pass this test.¡± ¡°That¡¯s right, it¡¯s a pity. It seems like we can only place our hope on Bell.¡± They stopped paying attention to the argument between the other two teams. It felt like the two teams were clowns. Although they had grasped a certain level of survival skills, there was a huge problem with their mentality. They were cautious but they lacked courage. Bell did not know much about the other contestants. At this moment, he was still floating at sea with Scarlett and the others. However, compared to the other two teams, the atmosphere on Bell¡¯s side was clearly much better. Even though food resources were scarce at sea, the few of them did not have any argument. On one hand, it was because they had reserves. On the other hand, Bell was the obvious leader of this team. Scarlett and the others only had to follow Bell¡¯s instructions. This also greatly reduced their conflict. The sun had yet to rise completely. But Bell was already awake. He looked at the audience in the live-stream. Although he had been resting just now, there were still five to six million people in the live-stream. Bell smiled. He was quite satisfied with this result. After this Wilderness Survival live broadcast, the number of Bell¡¯s fans had increased to 20 million. Read latest Chapters at Wuxia World . Site Only In fact, only a week had passed since the start of this round. In just a week, Bell¡¯s number of fans increased by nearly 10 million. This was an abnormally terrifying number for any platform. But this was not Bell¡¯s limit. Once he passed this round, the number of fans would increase again. Chapter 110 - Seeing the Blue Whale Bell sat up. He rubbed his aching shoulder. ¡°Good morning, everyone. Our bamboo raft has been floating on the sea for the entire night.¡± ¡°To be honest, the sleep was quite bad.¡± ¡°The waves made the raft bumpier than I thought.¡± ¡°I feel like my body is about to fall apart.¡± ¡°Let¡¯s pray that we can be saved today.¡± Bell smiled and pressed his palms together. But the next second, Bell¡¯s eyes widened as he looked into the distance in disbelief. It was a small black dot. The audience in the live-stream was confused. They did not know what was wrong with Bell and were a little worried. ¡°What¡¯s wrong? What is up with your expression?¡± ¡°Did you encounter a shark again?¡± Everyone was a little worried. They were not on a deserted island, but in this vast sea. If they were targeted by a shark, the outcome could be imagined. Bell shook his head. ¡°No, everyone is mistaken. I didn¡¯t see a shark. I found a freighter!¡± As soon as he said that, Scarlett and the others sat up. They looked in the direction Bell was pointing. There was a black spot in the distance. Unfortunately, they were too far away, and the other party might not be able to notice them. It would probably be difficult to catch up with the raft. ¡°Bell, what should we do? I don¡¯t think they have noticed us.¡± Scarlett Johansson said agitatedly. The others were also anxious. After all, the hope of survival was right in front of them. No one was willing to let it go. Bell rubbed his chin. ¡°From this distance, the other party is about twenty nautical miles away from us.¡± ¡°This distance is too far. Unless someone on the ship happens to use a telescope, they will not be able to see us.¡± ¡°This possibility is too low. We can¡¯t gamble.¡± ¡°We have to get this freighter to notice us first.¡± Bell took out the dagger from his waist. ¡°To be honest, this is really betting on luck, but we really have no other choice. I am going to use the reflection of light to attract the attention of the people on that ship. ¡± Taking out the dagger, Bell clicked his tongue. ¡°There is a protective coloring on the dagger, and the reflective effect is not good.¡± But there are other ways. For example, the coconut oil collected earlier can have some reflective effect. ¡± Bell smeared the oil on the dagger while talking. Adjusting the angle of the reflection, Bell pointed the dagger smeared with coconut oil at the freighter. He made a V sign with his fingers. Everyone was puzzled by Bell¡¯s actions. They could understand the reflection, but what was the use of the gesture? After all, they were so far away, they should not be able to see it. Bell explained, ¡°The reflected light can cover a long distance, but this is the sea after all. There are plenty of light sources. Even if it is reflected on the ship, it will be difficult to attract their attention, so we have to think of a way.¡± ¡°Block a portion of the light with your fingers. When the light reflects onto the freighter, it will create a shadow.¡± ¡°Some experienced crew members can tell that someone is asking for help.¡± ¡°Of course, you don¡¯t have to make a V-shaped gesture like me. You can do whatever you want if the conditions allow it.¡± Come and read on our website wuxia worldsite. Thanks Everyone finally understood. At the same time, everyone had a premonition. ¡°Looks like the host¡¯s survival round is over.¡± ¡°As expected, he is the first again.¡± ¡°It¡¯s not accurate to say that he is first. Among the ten teams, only Bell¡¯s team has succeeded in survival.¡± ¡°I wouldn¡¯t have known if you didn¡¯t tell me. Are the other people already eliminated? Weren¡¯t there two other teams left?¡± ¡°The remaining two teams fought each other for food this morning, injuries appeared on both sides. In the end, they unanimously decided to withdraw from the competition.¡± ¡°¡­¡± Looking at Bell¡¯s side, everyone thought that he would definitely be saved. However, time passed slowly. The freighter did not approach Bell at all. Instead, it moved further and further away and finally disappeared from everyone¡¯s sight. Scarlett and the others were disappointed. Even Bell shook his head regretfully. Bell said helplessly. ¡°Unfortunately, this freighter is too far away. They might not have seen the light.¡± ¡°But don¡¯t worry too much. Since a freighter has appeared here, it means that there is a sea route. I believe it won¡¯t be long before we encounter other ships.¡± Scarlett and the others heaved a sigh of relief. At least there was hope now. While the few of them were talking, a sharp-eyed audience suddenly saw something. ¡°Host, be careful! There is a shadow under your raft!¡± This comment was quickly noticed by everyone. Everyone looked below Bell¡¯s bamboo raft. The next second, a huge shadow appeared below the bamboo raft. It seemed like there was a huge creature swimming out of the sea. Before Bell could react, the huge creature had already broken through the surface of the sea and jumped out with a bang. Under everyone¡¯s shocked gazes, this creature jumped up high from the sea. Only when most of its body was revealed did Bell recognize what this huge thing was. ¡°This is a blue whale!¡± The blue whale jumped out of the water, and its huge body blocked the sunlight above Bell. Although they were not present there, this appearance still made the audience¡¯s hearts palpitate. ¡°Oh my god, this is too shocking!¡± ¡°This blue whale is at least 30 meters long!¡± Beside such a huge creature, Bell¡¯s bamboo raft looked so small. Everyone was excited and afraid to see such a rare creature. Boom! The blue whale crashed into the sea again. Its huge body caused huge waves on the surrounding sea. Bell quickly got Scarlett and the others to hold on to the bamboo raft. The bamboo raft that was only a few meters long seemed so fragile. After a while, the sea returned to calm. Read latest Chapters at Wuxia World . Site Only Only when there was no danger did Bell stand up. The women beside him had lingering fears. ¡°That was really scary. I thought the bamboo raft was going to be overturned.¡± Scarlett patted her trembling chest. ¡°We¡¯re quite lucky to see a blue whale. You have to know that there are very few blue whales in the world now.¡± ¡°A huge blue whale jumped out of the sea in front of us. I believe very few people have seen such a scene with their own eyes.¡± Chapter 111 - Falling to the Sea and Saved Seeing that Bell was still relaxed, everyone gradually calmed down. Just as Bell had said, very few people could see this scene. Woo! The blue whale, which had just sunk into the sea, revealed its dorsal fin. A tall water pillar shot out from his nostrils. It scattered into mist in the air. Under the sunlight, a gorgeous rainbow appeared before everyone. At that moment, the crowd were stunned. ¡°It¡¯s so beautiful. Sometimes you have to sigh at the wonders of God.¡± ¡°Such a huge creature can create such a scene with just a simple breath.¡± Bell sighed. The audience in the live-stream was busy taking screenshots. While everyone was still immersed in this beautiful scene, the bamboo raft shook violently. Immediately after, a huge force pushed the bamboo raft and the others into the air. Scarlett Johansson and the others were shocked. There was only one thought in Bell¡¯s mind. ¡°We encountered a blue whale group!¡± The huge blue whale sent Bell¡¯s bamboo raft flying. The bamboo raft was only stabilized by simple ropes. Under the impact of a colossus like the blue whale, it was shattered without any suspense. Not to mention such a simple bamboo raft, even a cruise ship would sink into the sea when the blue whale collided with it. The few of them instantly woke up from the beautiful painting. The roaring sea revealed its malice towards the few of them. Along with the shattered bamboo raft, Bell and the others smashed into the sea. The tension of the seawater made them feel like they had fallen to the ground. Bell felt his innards churn. However, due to his survival instinct, he did not fall unconscious. Otherwise, he would really be in trouble. Scarlett and the others were in a similar state as Bell. However, they looked more flustered. ¡°Don¡¯t panic. Catch any floating objects!¡± After being frightened, the girls seemed to be at a loss. For a moment, they only knew to flail around in the sea, but they did not know what they were doing. Hearing Bell¡¯s voice, the others gradually calmed down. Following Bell¡¯s instructions, they finally found a relatively intact bamboo. With this thing, they felt more at ease. Fortunately, after encountering two blue whales, they did not encounter any more blue whales. After the two blue whales floated to the surface to breathe, they swam into the distance calmly. Only Bell¡¯s team was left on the spot. The few of them were momentarily at a loss. ¡°It seems like danger is often behind beauty. This is not a joke.¡± Scarlett Johansson and the others moved to Bell¡¯s side. ¡°How are you? Are you okay?¡± Bell asked with concern. The scene earlier was quite dangerous. Thinking back, they still felt a lingering fear. The girls shook their heads. ¡°It¡¯s okay. I was shocked when I was sent flying. I¡¯m much better now.¡± Hearing that they were not injured, Bell was relieved. However, Scarlett and the others were looking at Bell. Bell knew what they were worried about. The impact of the blue whale had directly broken the bamboo raft, and even water and food were thrown into the sea. It was clearly impossible to find it again. Come and read on our website wuxia worldsite. Thanks ¡°To be honest, I really didn¡¯t expect such a situation.¡± ¡°The blue whale is not a group animal. The probability of encountering two moving together is pitifully low.¡± ¡°As for colliding with the blue whale, the probability is naturally lower.¡± ¡°I think I will buy a lottery ticket when I get back.¡± ¡°We can¡¯t stay here forever without food and the bamboo raft. Let¡¯s find a reef.¡± Bell said to Scarlett and the others. It was already noon. The sunlight became stronger again. The five of them hugged the bamboo pole and swam in the sea. After floating for several hours, they finally saw a reef not far ahead. It was only a few square meters. But to the few people who had been soaking in the sea for the entire afternoon, it was a blessing. At this moment, their stamina was almost exhausted. They climbed onto the reef with difficulty. Apart from Bell, the others did not look good. After all, no one could accept this predicament. ¡°I have some water here. Have some.¡± Bell had stored the water in his bag. Although the bamboo raft was broken, he still found his backpack. ¡°I thought we were quite lucky to see a blue whale on this sea, but it doesn¡¯t look like good luck now.¡± ¡°Because of what happened earlier, our resources have decreased greatly.¡± ¡°There are only a few bottles of water left. They should only be enough for us to last for two days.¡± As for food, there¡¯s nothing left. ¡± ¡°But this is still a reef. Maybe we can find something to eat.¡± Even in the face of such a situation, Bell did not despair. The noon sun made one feel a sharp pain. The coconut oil from before had already been cleaned by the seawater. Scarlett and the others were in the same situation. The few of them prepared to hide from the hot sun. At this moment, on the sea not far away, Bell suddenly realized that a speedboat was sailing. The five of them were excited. Bell quickly repeated his previous actions and used the dagger to reflect the sunlight again. This time, the two sides were very close. Bell believed that the other party would definitely be able to see them. The result was as expected. After noticing the shadows reflected by the sunlight, the speedboat turned around and quickly drove towards Bell. The sudden hope excited everyone. ¡°Haha, this is great. Bell, we¡¯re saved!¡± In her excitement, Scarlett hugged Bell¡¯s face and kissed him. Natalie Portman and the other girls were the same. For a moment, Bell enjoyed the bliss of many beauties. The audience in the live-stream was envious. The speedboat was not slow. Moreover, the two sides were not far apart. Read latest Chapters at Wuxia World . Site Only In less than ten minutes, the speedboat arrived in front of Bell¡¯s group. However, because this was a reef, the speedboat did not dare to get too close. Instead, to be safe, the person on the boat put down an inflatable boat and used it to near the reef. The person was puzzled. ¡°Where are you from? Why are you here?¡± Chapter 112 - Successfully Saved It was a middle-aged man. Seeing the man¡¯s facial appearance, Bell was clearly stunned. Then, he tried to communicate with the other party in Chinese. As expected, the other party really understood. ¡°Are you guys from China too?¡± ¡°No, no, no. I am from China. These are my friends.¡± The man had only focused on Scarlett and the other women earlier. After all, the four of them were adult women, and Bell was only a child. Seeing Bell acting like a little adult, the man was momentarily stunned. However, to his surprise, after Bell spoke, Scarlett and the others did not retort. Among the five people, it was actually the child who seemed to be the leader. However, the man did not ask further. ¡°I didn¡¯t expect to meet my hometown people here.¡± ¡°How did you guys end up like this?¡± They were both Chinese, but in this unfamiliar place, although there was a difference in age, the two of them still felt a sense of familiarity. Therefore, he couldn¡¯t help but ask in concern. Bell smiled awkwardly. ¡°We were recording a live broadcast and encountered a small situation.¡± ¡°Your situation is not small. If I didn¡¯t pass by you guys, you would be in danger.¡± The man said as he pulled the few of them onto the boat. ¡°There¡¯s still some food and water on the boat. From the looks of it, it¡¯s been a while since you guys have eaten properly.¡± Whether it was because Bell was from the same hometown or because this man was so hospitable, the moment they got on the boat, the man took out a lot of food. Scarlett and the others had not had a proper meal for several days. Their eyes lit up when they saw the food. Bell chatted with the man while eating. The man felt like he was chatting with someone his age when he talked with Bell. He could not help but wonder if he was too old to keep up with the times. Were children these days so mature? And with Bell¡¯s rescue, The people in the broadcast room also stood up excitedly and applauded. ¡°That blue whale really gave me a scare.¡± ¡°That¡¯s right. It¡¯s really surprising that Bell survived.¡± ¡°After Bell gets ashore, quickly send someone to fetch him.¡± ¡°That blue whale might have caused some internal injuries to Bell. We have to do a full examination when he returns.¡± Bell¡¯s importance to the station had reached an extreme height. With the speedboat, Bell did not encounter other accidents. After resting for a few hours, they successfully returned to the shore. The moment their feet touched the ground, they remembered their experiences over the past few days and heaved a sigh of relief. ¡°I really didn¡¯t expect us to survive in such a situation.¡± Keira Knightley said with lingering fear. Annie Hathaway said with a smile, ¡°Thank you, Bell. Without you, we might not have passed even a day.¡± The others nodded in agreement. Although this was a little exaggerated, like she had said, Bell had played a vital role in this competition in the island. At the same time, it was because of Bell¡¯s existence that they felt that their adventure this time was very interesting. Everyone could not help but be curious about Bell. This eight-year-old boy really did not seem to be a child at all. ¡°Uncle, thank you for your help. Can you give me your contact details? I will thank you later.¡± Although they were recording a show, the other party had helped them greatly, so Bell could not remain indifferent. Come and read on our website wuxia worldsite. Thanks Moreover, they were from the same hometown. This feeling of familiarity was especially strong in a foreign land and in a hopeless situation. But the middle-aged man waved his hand and said with a smile. ¡°No need, no need. Since we¡¯ve met, it¡¯s fate. Bell, right? You look like you¡¯re doing a live broadcast. I¡¯ll watch your stream when I return.¡± The man became quite fond of Bell after talking with him. His daughter was slightly older than Bell, about four to five years older. But compared to Bell, his daughter was really a complete child. Along the way, the man had listened when Bell was talking to the camera. He had thought that Bell was doing some sea fishing or scenery stream. Bell did not explain further. As for Scarlett Johansson and the others, the man only thought that they looked familiar. Because of his age, he did not pay too much attention to these foreign female celebrities. ¡°Let¡¯s go. Will someone come and fetch you later?¡± The man looked at Bell and asked. ¡°Uncle, don¡¯t worry. Someone will come soon.¡± The man nodded. ¡°Alright, I¡¯m relieved.¡± ¡°Then I¡¯ll leave first. I live here often. If you need anything, you can call me. We¡¯re all Chinese, I¡¯ll do my best to help you.¡± The middle-aged man was very warm, and Bell was indeed very likable. Soon, the man left, and the production team began to move when Bell was saved. Similarly, there was also Bell¡¯s Twitch platform. As Bell¡¯s professional manager, after hearing that Bell had completed the live broadcast, Hanks also rushed over. After successfully going ashore, Bell looked at Scarlett and the others. ¡°Everyone, tonight is my treat. Congratulations on completing this Wilderness Survival.¡± The others happily accepted. The recording of the show was over, and it would clearly take some time for the production team to rush over. After this round of Wilderness Survival, the few of them could be considered friends. The night passed peacefully. Bell paid for the meal. Because of the pressure in the island, the few of them drank till they were drunk. It also relieved the pressure in their hearts. That night, the production team called Bell. They told Bell to wait there. Soon, the production team¡¯s people would arrive. Bell had no choice on this. After all, this was the same as the previous times. But what Bell did not know was that after he came ashore, an acquaintance booked a flight and rushed over. Bell¡¯s fans were not idle either. Many people posted videos of Bell¡¯s successful survival round on the Internet. Read latest Chapters at Wuxia World . Site Only Instantly, the internet was in an uproar. Many television stations were interested in Wilderness Survival. Some programs were even tempted to get in touch with Bell. After all, there was still some time before the next recording. They could make use of this time to schedule some programs with Bell. Chapter 113 - Sabotage The night passed peacefully. The next morning, Bell opened his eyes in his bed. The next second, Bell froze on the spot. At some point in time, Scarlett, Keira, Annie, and Natalie had all climbed up. White thighs pressed against Bell¡¯s body, making him pant. Bell finally got out of bed with difficulty. He shook his head. These guys were really crazy yesterday. These few people looked quiet usually, but were actually good at drinking. This surprised Bell. In the end, Bell did not know how much the four of them had drunk. He only remembered that he was the one who carried them back. ¡°Strange, I clearly brought them to their rooms. Why are they here?¡± Bell was puzzled. ¡°Forget it. Although I don¡¯t know what¡¯s going on, it¡¯s not a big issue.¡± With this in mind, Bell stopped caring. He poured himself a glass of water and was about to find some breakfast when his phone suddenly rang. ¡°Hello, is this Mr. Bell?¡± An unfamiliar voice sounded from the phone. Bell asked tentatively, ¡°I¡¯m Bell. Who are you?¡± ¡°Hello, Mr. Bell. I¡¯m from the Ipanda Broadcasting Station.¡± ¡°I¡¯m sorry to call you so abruptly.¡± ¡°There are some things I wanted to discuss with you, Mr. Bell. I wonder if it¡¯s convenient for you now?¡± Bell guessed the other¡¯s meaning. There was a high chance that they wanted to negotiate a cooperation. However, since he already had a contract, he hesitated for a moment and felt that it was better to tell the other party the truth. Before he could speak, the other party said, ¡°Mr. Bell, I¡¯m calling to ask if you have any intention of signing a contract with us.¡± Bell made an ¡®as expected¡¯ expression as he said, ¡°Sorry, I¡¯ve already signed a contract with Twitch.¡± ¡°If you want to stream my videos, you can contact them.¡± Bell did not hide it. The other person was clearly stunned. ¡°Hello, are you there?¡± ¡°Oh, oh, yes. Sorry, sir, I was a little dazed.¡± ¡°It¡¯s okay. If there¡¯s nothing else, let¡¯s leave it at that.¡± Seeing that the other party did not say anything, Bell smiled and ended the conversation. The other party was momentarily stunned because he had not expected the answer. Looking at the phone, Bell smiled and shook his head. Fame came at a price. This was not the first time he received this call. In fact, ever since he completed the program last night, he had been receiving calls from various platforms. But they were all rejected. On one hand, it was because most of the calls were from small platforms with the mentality of gaining some profits. On the other hand, the prices offered by these platforms were too low, too different from the platform he had signed with. Therefore, Bell rejected it without hesitation. But just as Bell thought that there would be no new phone call, the phone rang again. Come and read on our website wuxia worldsite. Thanks Bell was annoyed. He had already said it very clearly, but these guys were still so tactless. ¡°Hey, don¡¯t call me anymore. I¡¯ve already made myself clear! If you need video authorization, contact the website I signed with!¡± Bell sounded irritated. ¡°Err, Bell, it¡¯s me, Hanks. You don¡¯t seem to be in a good mood?¡± Bell was stunned. Those calls over these past two days had irritated him. He thought the person earlier had called him again. ¡°Oh, Hanks, I¡¯m sorry. I just ran into something. It wasn¡¯t directed at you.¡± ¡°No, no, Mr. Bell. I understand. This time¡¯s live broadcast was really wonderful. I believe many people have already called you.¡± Hanks smiled. Bell did not respond. As the contractor of the video website, he did not know how to respond. ¡°What¡¯s wrong, Hanks? What¡¯s the sudden call for?¡± Hanks thought for a moment. ¡°Mr. Bell, why don¡¯t we talk face to face?¡± Hanks stopped talking. Hearing Hanks¡¯s hesitation, Bell thought for a moment and nodded. ¡°Then let¡¯s meet again when I return to China.¡± ¡°There¡¯s no need to go through so much trouble, Mr. Bell. I¡¯m almost there.¡± ¡°Mr. Bell, just tell me the hotel name and room number.¡± Bell was stunned. For a moment, Bell was puzzled. Hanks must be really anxious. Then, he told Hanks where his hotel was. ¡°Alright, come to the hotel. I¡¯ll send you the location.¡± ¡°Alright, Mr. Bell, I¡¯ll see you later.¡± ¡°Okay.¡± The two of them hung up. After getting Bell¡¯s address, Hanks quickly rushed over. Hanks heaved a sigh of relief. ¡°Mr. Bell, long time no see.¡± ¡°Hanks, what¡¯s the issue that you could not tell me over the phone?¡± Hanks scratched his head. ¡°It¡¯s like this, Mr. Bell. Because your performance in this time¡¯s recording was too outstanding, the company¡¯s higher-ups have unanimously decided to create a new contract for you.¡± ¡°New contract? Isn¡¯t the present contract in our hands the best?¡± ¡°Err, that¡¯s right, Mr. Bell. The contract you are signing now is indeed the top platinum contract on the platform. However, considering your current popularity, the company has decided to raise your level.¡± Hanks said this carefully. Bell was about to agree when his phone rang again. Before Bell could react, Hanks shivered and stared nervously at Bell¡¯s phone, but he did not dare to speak. Seeing Hanks like this, Bell understood. Read latest Chapters at Wuxia World . Site Only It turned out that as his value increased, the platform felt that they could not control him. Or rather, they were afraid that he would switch to other platforms. But they did not want to give up their shares so easily. That was why they thought of such a compromise. Bell laughed and picked up the phone. Hanks looked nervous. Chapter 114 - The Thoughts of the Platform ¡°Hello, Mr. Bell, I¡¯m sorry about earlier. I was a little too anxious.¡± ¡°We did not know that you had already signed with another video streaming website.¡± ¡°Sorry to have disturbed you.¡± The person who called this time was still the person from the Ipanda broadcast website. But this time, Bell did not hang up. He wanted to hear what the other party meant. Moreover, Hanks was beside him. Since Twitch wanted to play some tricks with him, he did not mind giving them more pressure. The other party said, ¡°It¡¯s like this. I¡¯ve seen that your Wilderness Survival round has just ended. There shouldn¡¯t be any other programs to record in the short term. I wonder if you are willing to participate in a program alone? This program will be funded by our platform. What do you think?¡± Bell was surprised. He had not expected the other party to suggest such a thing. Normally, after knowing that he had signed with another platform, shouldn¡¯t they increase their chips and try to poach him? In the end, the other party actually wanted to invite him to record a program. ¡°Of course, if Mr. Bell is not satisfied with your current platform, we can negotiate. We can talk about this face-to-face. The price we offer will definitely satisfy you. As for the breach of contract fee, you don¡¯t have to worry at all.¡± The phone¡¯s volume was loud, and Hanks heard it clearly. Hanks trembled. He stared nervously at the phone in Bell¡¯s hand. Bell smiled. He looked meaningfully at Hanks. ¡°Hehe, I won¡¯t consider changing the platform for now, but we can discuss the recording. Why don¡¯t you send me the details of this program? We can discuss it in detail later. ¡± Hanks heaved a sigh of relief when he heard that Bell did not plan to move to other platforms. The live-stream contract for Bell was only three months. If Bell wanted to leave, he did not have to bear any penalty. After all, when the contract was over, it was Bell¡¯s freedom to choose anyplace he wanted. But at the same time, Hanks felt some pressure. It seemed like he was right to come personally this time. This was definitely not the only platform to try to rope in Bell. If he were like in the past, feeling that he could bargain with Bell just by holding the contract, the result would be obvious. On the other end of the phone, the person was overjoyed to hear that Bell had agreed to the program. ¡°Then, Mr. Bell, I¡¯ll contact you after the program content is confirmed?¡± Although he did not successfully sign the contract with Bell, it was not bad to be able to collaborate with Bell. After the two of them exchanged numbers, they hung up. Bell turned and looked at Hanks. Hanks looked at Bell awkwardly. ¡°Mr. Bell.¡± Hanks felt that the other party might already know his intention. But Bell did not intend to expose him. ¡°Alright, Mr. Hanks, show me the contract.¡± Hearing Bell speak again, Hanks did not dare to delay and quickly took out the contract. ¡°Mr. Bell, look at this contract.¡± Bell looked through the contract. There were not many changes to the contract. Come and read on our website wuxia worldsite. Thanks However, the basic treatment for Bell had increased. Moreover, the platform promised to direct traffic to Bell. At the same time, it seemed to be to motivate Bell, giving him clear conditions. After reaching a certain number of fans, he would be promoted to a shareholder. This was not much different from what Bell had thought before. It basically required him to reach 100 million fans. However, Bell noticed that there was no specific time on the contract. Instead, there was a blank space. Clearly, this was the goal of Hanks¡¯ trip. ¡®Looks like the effect of this live broadcast is really good. It made them quite impatient.¡¯ Bell thought to himself. He looked at Hanks. ¡°Mr. Hanks, I¡¯ve already read the contract. There are no other problems. The only problem is the time of the contract. I wonder how long the contract duration will be?¡± Hearing Bell¡¯s words, Hanks froze and revealed an awkward smile. ¡°B-Bell, what about one year? No, no, no, six months is enough.¡± Although Bell was only an eight-year-old child, Hanks felt more pressure from him than from his leader. This made him feel helpless. The mission he received was to sign one year¡¯s contract with Bell. But judging from the current situation, it was clearly impossible. It was not realistic to rely on the contract to restrain Bell. With Bell¡¯s current reputation, many companies were willing to pay the penalty fee for him. After hearing about the signing period of half a year, Bell did not nod in agreement. He continued to look at the other party with a smile. Hanks panicked. ¡°Mr. Bell, why don¡¯t you decide?¡± Hanks was helpless. How was this an eight-year-old child? He felt like his thoughts had been read by the other party. He had no initiative in front of Bell. ¡°Mr. Hanks, I think we should sign it for three months.¡± In fact, Bell was not concerned about these basic salaries. He knew that his greatest gain was the share of the traffic. The duration of the contract was Bell¡¯s bottom line. Only in this way could he maintain the initiative and have a way out at any time. Hanks looked troubled. ¡°Mr. Bell, three months is too short. I believe even if I don¡¯t say it, you should know that this three-month contract has no binding effect on you. After all, the platform also needs to consider the risk benefits. ¡± ¡°Even if the higher-ups agree, the directors will not agree to such a contract. The contract given now is the best the company can offer, Mr. Bell.¡± Read latest Chapters at Wuxia World . Site Only Hanks looked troubled, and the meaning of his words was clear. Although the higher-ups had the right to decide on some ordinary or high-level contracts, at Bell¡¯s level, it was not something they could decide. The terms of signing the long-term contract were clearly requested by the directors. Bell shook his head inwardly. ¡°Maybe I should change companies.¡± Chapter 115 - Keira Knightleys Goodwill Bell could tell that Hanks had come today to sign a long-term contract with him. Moreover, this was a decision made by the higher-ups behind the platform. Clearly, because of Bell¡¯s current popularity, the three months of signing the contract made the higher-ups on the platform very uneasy. This contract was not binding at all. It had to be known that other platforms¡¯ streamers had to sign a contract for at least an entire year. But Bell did not think so. The other platforms¡¯ streamers had signed long contracts because their number of fans was basically fixed. But he still had a lot of potential. Bell realized that wilderness survival programs in this world were especially popular. Now, his fan base had already increased to 20 million after just one round. He still had many areas to explore. He would not encounter any bottlenecks before reaching 100 million followers. His fan count was increasing every day. Because of this, Bell felt that a three-month contract was the most reasonable. ¡°Mr. Bell, I¡¯m sorry, I can¡¯t decide this matter.¡± Seeing that Bell was silent, Hanks felt the atmosphere becoming awkward and wanted to explain. But before he could finish, Bell interrupted him. Bell waved his hand. ¡°There¡¯s no need to say anything. I understand. This is not something you can decide. Forgive me for not being able to accept this new contract. My bottom line is a three-month signing period. This cannot be changed.¡± ¡°How about this? Take this contract with you and return. We¡¯ll follow our previous contract.¡± ¡°We can talk about it when that contract expires.¡± Bell stood up and handed the contract to Hanks. Bell looked calm, not at all angry at the company¡¯s higher-ups for going back on their word. Hanks was ashamed and angry. He was not angry at Bell, but he felt that the higher-ups in the company were too stupid. A group of useless people who only knew how to enjoy life when they had shares. It was one thing to have fun normally, but now, they were even meddling in the company¡¯s affairs. The company had already roped in Bell. Those idiots had to cause trouble at this moment. Great, they had forced Bell to leave. That¡¯s right, this was the same as forcing Bell to leave. Hanks had a feeling. From Bell¡¯s expression, he could tell that Bell had already decided to change companies. He sighed. It was not because of Bell. After all, Bell did not have to worry about his next step. With Bell¡¯s current popularity, it would be easy to find a platform. The treatment would only be better and not worse. Hanks was worried about himself. He had wanted to follow Bell and work peacefully for a few years, so that he could live a carefree life. But now, because of a group of idiots, his wish was probably going to fail. Such a good opportunity had been missed. How many times could a person have such an opportunity in their life? Hanks was indignant. ¡®Sigh, if only Mr. Bell could set up his own company.¡¯ An idea suddenly occurred to Hanks, and he was shocked. Come and read on our website wuxia worldsite. Thanks ¡®Yeah, if Mr. Bell establishes his own company, I can go over and continue to be his manager.¡¯ ¡®If the company¡¯s prospects are good in the future, I will be a senior of the company.¡¯ Hanks was excited, but he quickly gave up on the idea. It was not easy to set up a company. It was difficult for a new company to make waves as it would suffer the suppression of other major platforms. Especially if someone who could influence so many people like Bell made a company, the industry would do its best to suppress it and not allow it to make a name for itself. This was like the relationship between a shepherd and sheep. At first, everything was fine. The shepherds would cut the grass and feed the sheep, then slaughter the sheep to eat the meat. Everything was so harmonious. But if the sheep realized that they could eat grass by themselves and eat more, who would be willing to stay in the sheep pen? Over time, shepherds without sheep would starve to death. Therefore, once they noticed this trend, the people in the industry would work together to suppress it. This was an unwritten rule. Only if there was someone backing you up, could you go from being a sheep to a shepherd. Otherwise, they would have to face the entire industry. With this in mind, Hanks stopped hoping. He stood up and took the contract from Bell. ¡°Mr. Bell, I¡¯m glad to see you again. If there¡¯s a chance, I¡¯m willing to be your manager. I wish you success in the recording of the show.¡± Hanks said sincerely, like he was saying goodbye. Bell smiled. ¡°There might be a chance.¡± Then, the two of them left the hotel. Bell shook his head and stopped paying attention. ¡°It seems like I have to find a way to go to other platforms after this three month contract expires.¡± Although Bell was not short of money, he needed videos to maintain his popularity. Wilderness Survival had a time limit after all. Bang bang bang! Just as Bell was thinking about how to plan his route, someone knocked on the door again. Bell froze, thinking that it was Hanks who had returned. However, when he opened the door, Bell saw that Keira Knightley had already gotten out of bed. She was the one who had knocked. ¡°Good morning.¡± Bell smiled and greeted her before letting her in. Keira did not stand on ceremony. She entered the room and sat down. She even picked up the breakfast that Bell had ordered. The actions were so natural that Bell had the illusion that this seemed to be Keira¡¯s room instead. ¡°Good morning, I¡¯m starving. I only drank with the girls yesterday and didn¡¯t eat much.¡± After eating a slice of bread, Keira heaved a sigh of relief. Bell shrugged. ¡°If you like, you can eat them all.¡± ¡°I will ask the hotel to bring more.¡± Read latest Chapters at Wuxia World . Site Only However, after eating a piece of bread, Keira Knightley stopped. She composed herself and said, ¡°I¡¯m sorry, Bell. I didn¡¯t mean to eavesdrop, but I heard some of what you said to that person.¡± ¡°I wanted to ask you if you¡¯re interested in setting up your own company.¡± ¡°You don¡¯t have to worry about the operation problem. I have a way to resolve it. Just do what you did before. ¡± Chapter 116 - Establishing a Company Keira Knightley¡¯s sudden suggestion stunned Bell. ¡°Are you kidding? How can we decide on such a big thing like starting a company?¡± Bell shook his head with a laugh. To his surprise, Keira Knightley looked serious. ¡°Do you think I¡¯m joking?¡± On the sofa, Keira Knightley looked at Bell solemnly. Bell finally understood that the other party really had this thought. ¡°This matter isn¡¯t as simple as you think.¡± ¡°Moreover, to open a good company, there are many things to prepare. I don¡¯t have manpower or connections now. Opening a company now is like throwing money.¡± Bell spread his hands helplessly. It was not that he had not thought of this, he was not really an eight-year-old child after all. He had naturally thought it through thoroughly. Bell had thought of the same question that Hanks had asked. Unexpectedly, after hearing Bell¡¯s words, Keira Knightley said, ¡°Let me resolve these things.¡± ¡°You will have absolute control over the new company. Regarding the manpower issue, it will be resolved in a month.¡± ¡°What do you think?¡± Keira Knightly looked at Bell and waited for his answer. ¡°How much do I need to invest?¡± After the money earned from the show and the stream, Bell had some cash. There were at least eight million in his bank account. But Bell did not know how much Keira Knightley wanted for the company. Although they could be considered friends now, there was a difference in status. After all, she was a top female celebrity. Her net worth was easily over a hundred million. With his current financial strength, he might not be able to afford her plan. However, Keira Knightley surprised Bell again. ¡°We can set up a small company first. About five million should be enough for the start.¡± Bell couldn¡¯t help but laugh in disbelief. Five million was barely enough if it was just to open a physical company. But it was clearly not enough to start a video platform company. Even with Bell¡¯s popularity, the company still had to find a large number of top streamers. Expand the company¡¯s audience. As for Bell¡¯s Wilderness Survival, it could only be said to be an edge. It could attract some audience to the platform. ¡°5 million is probably not enough to open a video platform company.¡± ¡°After all, if we want to poach a slightly famous streamer, we will need to spend millions. If it were more famous streamers, we will need tens of millions.¡± Bell said helplessly. But then Keira Knightley stood up. ¡°I¡¯ve thought about this for a long time. If you open a company, as a shareholder, I¡¯m willing to move in for free. I believe Natalie and Anne have the same thoughts.¡± ¡°As for Scarlett, there¡¯s no need to mention it. With the four of us staying here, I believe many celebrities and streamers will join us without demanding a high price. They might even join for free.¡± Bell finally understood what she meant. ¡°How can that do? With your reputation, once the platform can¡¯t be built, the four of you will be affected.¡± Come and read on our website wuxia worldsite. Thanks Bell understood that the other party was preparing to help him. But there was a certain risk in this matter, and Bell was not willing to involve them. Unexpectedly, just as Bell finished speaking, several voices sounded from the door. ¡°I think this is feasible. We usually have nothing to do. Video platforms are so popular now. If we open a company and manage it well, we can earn some pocket money.¡± A million was treated as pocket money. They were top celebrities after all. Their income was definitely extremely high. At some point in time, Scarlett, Natalie, and Anne were already standing at the door. They had heard what Keira had said earlier. Although they did not know why Keira suddenly wanted to open a company with Bell, the three of them could tell that this matter should be related to Bell. They really liked Bell. Not to mention whether they had feelings for him, just Bell¡¯s performance in these few days was enough for them to invest in him. ¡°When did you guys come? You didn¡¯t even make a sound.¡± Bell was speechless. His room really had no privacy. Scarlett smiled and walked to Bell. ¡°I think Keira¡¯s suggestion is good. You are getting more and more traffic, but you still have a lot of potential. No matter which video platform you go to, they won¡¯t be able to bring out all of your value.¡± ¡°Instead of creating wealth for others, it¡¯s better to create wealth for yourself.¡± ¡°How about it? We can help you as long as you agree.¡± ¡°From now on, you¡¯re the boss of the company. Don¡¯t forget to give us dividends when you earn money.¡± Scarlett joked. In fact, when Bell signed the contract before, she had such thoughts. But at that time, it was not obvious how much potential Bell had. Moreover, Bell did not seem to have the intention of starting a company, so she had not mentioned it. But now that it was mentioned by Keira, Scarlett decided to help. Of course, she had her own selfish motives. If Bell and the others opened a company together, wouldn¡¯t they have more time together? This thought popped into Scarlett¡¯s mind. Natalie and Anne nodded in agreement. ¡°Sure, I have no objections. If Bell wants to start a company, like Keira said, I can move in as a shareholder,¡± said Natalie Portman. ¡°I have no objections,¡± said Anne Hathaway. The four people in the room looked at Bell, waiting for his answer. Faced with their gazes, Bell smiled helplessly. ¡°Alright, in that case, let¡¯s have a happy cooperation.¡± Hanks got off the plane and returned to the company. He returned to the office to sort out his emotions. Then, he walked to the leader¡¯s office with the contract. ¡°Sir, I¡¯m back.¡± Read latest Chapters at Wuxia World . Site Only The middle-aged man was surprised. Hanks returned much faster than he thought. ¡°You¡¯re back? What did Bell say? How long has this contract been signed for?¡± Hanks shook his head. ¡°I¡¯m afraid we have to be prepared to lose Bell.¡± Chapter 117 - Incur Hatred Hanks looked disappointed and upset. The middle-aged man was stunned. He looked at Hanks and asked in disbelief. ¡°What do you mean? What do you mean by we¡¯re going to lose Bell?¡± The middle-aged man looked very agitated. However, Hanks was not surprised. They knew how important Bell was to the company. After this period of time, Bell¡¯s videos had increased their company¡¯s profits by 30%. Even for top streamers, it was very difficult to increase the company¡¯s profits by so much. It was because they saw Bell¡¯s potential that the company wanted to capture him. But now, it might have the opposite effect. The higher-ups of the company were eager to sign a long-term contract with Bell. They even increased the benefits. But not only did they not succeed, it instead forced Bell to leave. The middle-aged man breathed heavily and looked at Hanks. ¡°What happened? Tell me in detail.¡± Then, Hanks explained his encounter with Bell in detail. After hearing that Bell was so concerned about the contract time, the middle-aged man frowned. Then, he sighed, ¡°Forget it, I don¡¯t blame you. After all, this is the decision of the higher-ups. Go back. I will report this to them.¡± Hanks nodded and returned to his office. In the room, the middle-aged man held his forehead, his eyes filled with anger. ¡°Narrow minded bastards!¡± The man thought that this matter could be completed smoothly. But now, it seemed like he had taken it for granted. ¡°No, we can¡¯t let him leave the company like this. I have to discuss it with the higher-ups.¡± The man thought for a moment and felt that he could not let go of the money tree, Bell, even if they had to use some underhanded methods. The news quickly spread to the directors. After knowing that Bell did not plan to sign a long-term contract, they were furious. ¡°Hmph, looks like our attitude towards him was too good.¡± ¡°Since he¡¯s not signing a long-term contract, it looks like he¡¯s preparing to sign a contract with other platforms.¡± ¡°When this contract expires, release the news that our company wants to ban Bell.¡± ¡°Let¡¯s see how a broadcaster like him can go against the company. He¡¯s just an eight-year-old child who doesn¡¯t know his place. ¡± ¡°When he can¡¯t take it anymore, get someone to contact him. There is no need to give any high-level contracts at that time, just give us a normal one.¡± ¡°We have to suppress this young man¡¯s spirit.¡± In just a few words, the higher-ups had already decided on the future of Bell. In fact, this was not the first time this had happened. Bell was indeed very outstanding and had great potential. But they had seen many people who were arrogant because of their talent. However, under the pressure of the company, these people still obediently followed. They believed that Bell would not be an exception. They were not worried about Bell starting a company alone. There were only so many popular streamers. As for celebrities, it was very difficult to invite them. Normally, unless they took the initiative to join, the platform would not be able to invite them at all. As long as the news was released, everyone would control their streamers. Bell alone could not support a company. All the major platforms were very united. Come and read on our website wuxia worldsite. Thanks Several days passed quickly. Bell and the others had not been idle these past few days. Keira, Scarlett, Anne, and Natalie used their connections. Bell invested a whole 10 million for this. It had almost completely used up all his assets. As for Keira and the others, they symbolically took out a portion and gathered 9 million. It was not that they could not invest more. The main reason was that they only wanted to help Bell. Bell naturally had to be the main shareholder. As for the legal issues of Bell¡¯s young age, the few of them completed the necessary procedures and signed the contract. The preparation for the company was going smoothly. What Bell had to do was to finish building the company before his contract expired. Then, he could continue seamlessly. During this period, Hanks had called him once. Over the phone, Hanks reminded himself to pay more attention to the company. The attitude of the higher-ups seemed to have changed. Bell only smiled. He thanked Hanks, but he did not feel anything. This was not unexpected. When you could no longer create value for an organization, the organization would bare its fangs. Bell, who had lived two lives, knew this very well. On the other hand, he was surprised that Hanks would warn him. ¡°Maybe this guy is really a qualified manager. Maybe I can recruit him.¡± Bell thought to himself. Hanks definitely did not know that he was about to start a company. But now was not the time. After all, the company had yet to be established. Before he resolved the problem with the video platform, it was better if fewer people knew about it. Bell and the others were busy for four days in the hotel that the production team had booked. The production team finally arrived. It had to be said that the production team was much slower than these live-stream platforms. After getting on the plane, Bell finally returned to China. As soon as he got off the plane, Bell saw two familiar figures. They were Li Ziqi and Lin Xiaoxiao. ¡°Sister Ziqi, Sister Xiaoxiao.¡± Bell smiled and waved. The two of them walked forward when they saw Bell. ¡°Let me see, you¡¯ve lost weight again.¡± Li Ziqi pinched Bell¡¯s chubby face. Lin Xiaoxiao was not to be outdone. Bell was like a rubber ball being rubbed by the two women, making him speechless. Fortunately, this situation did not continue for long. Because behind Bell, Scarlett and the others walked down. Read latest Chapters at Wuxia World . Site Only As soon as Scarlett and Li Ziqi met, Bell felt a smell of gunpowder in the air. Good lord, he did not know why, but Li Ziqi and Scarlett Johansson did not seem to get along. Bell could only smile awkwardly and step forward to smooth things over. ¡°Alright, let¡¯s go eat first. It¡¯s been too long since I ate my hometown¡¯s food. Sister Ziqi, let me taste your food today.¡± Bell did not dare to let the two of them continue staring at each other. He quickly turned Li Ziqi¡¯s attention to him. Chapter 118 - Plan In the villa, everyone was sitting together. Bell looked at Scarlett and Li Ziqi and scratched his head awkwardly. As for Keira and the others, they were watching the show from the side. Lin Xiaoxiao took the opportunity to go to Bell¡¯s side. The atmosphere in the room became very strange. If Li Ziqi and Scarlett did not speak, the others did not dare to either. Bell looked at the atmosphere and felt that they could not continue. Although he did not know why these two people always met in such a state, it was still caused by him. ¡°Er, Sister Ziqi, didn¡¯t we agree to cook? Why don¡¯t you make something to eat first? Everyone is hungry.¡± ¡°¡­¡± There was no sound. Li Ziqi ignored him, making Bell feel even more awkward. Helpless, Bell could only turn to look at Scarlett. ¡°Why don¡¯t you get some food? Everyone is waiting. We didn¡¯t eat much on the plane.¡± There was still no response. Bell covered his head helplessly. Seeing Bell like this, Natalie, who had been watching the show, covered her mouth and smiled. Then, she walked to Scarlett. ¡°Alright, don¡¯t just sit here. Let¡¯s go get some food.¡± She was about to pull Scarlett away. But Scarlett did not move. Scarlett¡¯s eyes were still locked with Li Ziqi¡¯s. There seemed to be a magnet between them. As long as the other party did not move, she would not move. If she moved, it would mean she lost. Seeing this, Natalie Portman was helpless. Suddenly, her eyes rolled and a wicked smile appeared on her face. She whispered something in Scarlett¡¯s ear. Scarlett, who had been stubbornly refusing to lower her head, turned red after hearing Natalie Portman¡¯s words. Then, she couldn¡¯t care less about Li Ziqi. She quickly stood up and pulled Natalie into the kitchen. ¡°What¡¯s going on?¡± Scarlett¡¯s sudden change surprised Bell. What did Natalie say to Scarlett? Scarlett, who had been adamant about not leaving, suddenly changed her mind and blushed. Seeing that Scarlett had left, Li Ziqi stopped sitting and walked into another kitchen proudly. Seeing their strange looks, Bell was puzzled. ¡°Can someone explain to me what¡¯s going on?¡± ¡°You will be busy in the future.¡± Lin Xiaoxiao teased. Keira and the others also smiled and said nothing. There seemed to be a secret between the few of them that only Bell did not know. Bell wanted to continue asking, but Keira interrupted. ¡°Alright, this is a little secret between girls. Don¡¯t ask anymore. Let¡¯s take this opportunity to talk about the company.¡± Come and read on our website wuxia worldsite. Thanks ¡°Since you have already decided to set up a company, influence is essential.¡± ¡°It¡¯s best if we can rise the fame of the company at once.¡± ¡°I remember that after you finish recording the program, you will have an interview, right? With the popularity of Wilderness Survival now, if we can carry on with this promotion, the effect will definitely be good.¡± Keira said seriously. Lin Xiaoxiao looked at Bell curiously, ¡°Are you preparing to set up your own company?¡± Bell nodded. ¡°The contract I signed earlier will expire soon. If nothing goes wrong, I won¡¯t sign a contract again.¡± ¡°I have many conditions. Ordinary companies can¡¯t reach an agreement, so I might as well set up one myself.¡± Lin Xiaoxiao smiled. Although Bell did not say why he would not sign a contract again, she could guess it. After all, her company was involved in fashion. Lin Xiaoxiao had invited many celebrities and had some understanding of this industry. Ordinary companies would try their best to squeeze the potential of Bell. No matter what, they would want to sign a long contract to tie him up. Bell must have encountered this situation as well, so he chose to open his own company. ¡°That¡¯s a good idea, but it won¡¯t be easy to start a company.¡± ¡°If my guess is correct, your current platform will not just watch you start the company.¡± ¡°They will definitely use some methods to suppress you.¡± Lin Xiaoxiao analyzed for Bell. ¡°That¡¯s right, so we decided to put Bell¡¯s company¡¯s name out there for everyone to see.¡± ¡°In this company, other than Bell and me, Scarlett, Natalie, and Anne also hold shares.¡± ¡°With the support of our reputation, even the platform can¡¯t ban Bell.¡± ¡°It would be best if we can use the Wilderness Survival platform¡¯s interview to increase our popularity.¡± ¡°However, this matter might be a little difficult. If we want to do advertisements in other programs, or in such a large scale program, the station might not agree.¡± This was the issue that Keira was most worried about. Although the few of them could hold a press conference and have a certain influence, everyone¡¯s attention would be on them. Bell would be easily ignored, and the effect would definitely be worse. After hearing Keira¡¯s words, Lin Xiaoxiao looked enlightened. ¡°If that¡¯s the case, it¡¯s really possible. As for using the production team¡¯s interview to advertise, it¡¯s not impossible.¡± ¡°You have a way?¡± Keira looked at Lin Xiaoxiao curiously. ¡°It¡¯s not that I have a way, but you guys neglected to mention that the Wilderness Survival¡¯s production team values Bell very much. They even opened an exclusive channel for Bell alone. This is a treatment that no other contestants have.¡± ¡°If my guess is correct, the production team will contact Bell soon to discuss making Bell a spokesperson for the show.¡± Lin Xiaoxiao said with a smile. ¡°That¡¯s right, I forgot about this. In that case, I can take the opportunity to negotiate with the production team.¡± Read latest Chapters at Wuxia World . Site Only Seeing the women discussing fervently, Bell was a little embarrassed. He really had no idea how to open a company. Thankfully, he had people willing to help him. He did not have to split his attention to it and could focus on developing in peace. As the few of them discussed, Li Ziqi and Scarlett quickly served the food. Chapter 119 - Interview Looking at the sumptuous meal on the table, everyone¡¯s appetite was aroused. Scarlett and Li Ziqi had taken up a kitchen each. The two of them seemed to have shifted their hostility to the food. The two of them brought out their specialty. The food on the table was delicious, be it Chinese or Western. In just a moment, there was no space on the table. It was filled with food. Faced with their gazes, Bell did not dare to say anything. He could only quietly finish the food. ¡°Fortunately, I didn¡¯t eat anything on the plane. Otherwise, I might have to go to the hospital.¡± Bell thought to himself. After having their fill, they left the dining table. Li Ziqi looked at Bell and asked. ¡°Bell, I heard you want to set up your own company?¡± ¡°Yeah, that¡¯s right. It¡¯s still in the preparation stage.¡± Bell did not ask Li Ziqi to join the company. Although the two of them had a good relationship, Li Ziqi was doing well on her platform. If she moved recklessly, it might affect her popularity. However, Li Ziqi spoke first. ¡°If you open a live-stream platform, I can move in.¡± Although Li Ziqi said it casually, it shocked Bell. ¡°Sister Ziqi, this isn¡¯t a joke. You have a lot of traffic now, and it will affect you greatly if you suddenly jump to another platform.¡± Bell said worriedly. ¡°Scarlett and others are preparing to move in. I have enough support with them. There¡¯s no hurry.¡± Bell felt that Li Ziqi was worried that his newly started company would not have a top streamer to support it. However, Li Ziqi shook her head firmly. ¡°You don¡¯t need to worry about it, so it¡¯s settled. After your live-stream platform is completely formed, I will move in.¡± Seeing that Li Ziqi was so serious, Bell could not refuse. ¡°Alright, Sister Ziqi, but will this affect your current platform? Will your company agree?¡± This was what Bell was most worried about. After all, Li Ziqi was not free like him. ¡°I¡¯ll resolve this.¡± ¡°By the way, how much is the initial investment for your company?¡± Li Ziqi looked at Bell and asked. Bell thought for a moment and said, ¡°The initial investment won¡¯t be too much. The few of us estimate a total of 15 million. My personal investment is 10 million.¡± Bell was a little embarrassed. To be honest, 15 million was pitifully little. However, there was nothing he could do about it. He only had this much liquidity left. Li Ziqi was not surprised. ¡°15 million? That¡¯s not bad. How about this? I¡¯ll invest another 3 million. I¡¯ll get some shares too. This will make things easier for me in the future.¡± Li Ziqi had just finished speaking when Scarlett said, ¡°I¡¯ll add another million. The investment is four million.¡± Li Ziqi looked at Scarlett. The room was filled with the smell of gunpowder again. Seeing this, Bell quickly stopped Li Ziqi, who was about to speak. Come and read on our website wuxia worldsite. Thanks ¡°Stop, stop, stop. Sister Ziqi, don¡¯t start a bidding war.¡± ¡°And you, Scarlett, you¡¯ve invested a lot. If you continue investing, this company won¡¯t be mine.¡± ¡°My abilities are limited. Don¡¯t add any more money. Consider my position.¡± Faced with these strong women, Bell could only cry. Scarlett could only look away. She pouted and turned her head to the side. ¡°Then it¡¯s settled. Count me in.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t worry, Sister Ziqi. How can I forget you?¡± The company¡¯s matter was quickly settled. In the end, even Lin Xiaoxiao took out some funds and joined Bell¡¯s company. In her words, the live broadcast industry was at its peak. As a businessman, she naturally wanted a share of the profits. It was not because of Bell¡¯s company, but because of Bell. She believed that with Li Ziqi and Bell, the company would definitely soar in the future. Since Lin Xiaoxiao had already said so, Bell naturally could not refuse. After some discussion, they decided to let Bell wait for the production team to contact him and do some publicity through the interview. ¡°Bell, this matter is settled.¡± ¡°You don¡¯t have to worry about the company¡¯s other matters. Just focus on your work. The only thing you need to worry about now is the production team¡¯s interview. You need to talk to them and get them to cooperate with us to do some publicity.¡± Lin Xiaoxiao had enough experience with a company¡¯s operations. Scarlett, Li Ziqi, and the others brought enough traffic. With these top celebrities joining, it would definitely drive a large number of fans and other internet celebrities to the company. As long as they used it properly, this was simply the best starting point. Of course, Li Ziqi also reminded Bell. If the previous video platform knew that he was going to start a company, they would probably do something. As a special guest of Wilderness Survival, Li Ziqi knew something about the benefits of this program. From the production team¡¯s earnings, she could roughly guess the benefits of the live-stream platform and Bell¡¯s videos. Faced with such a huge cake, the other party would definitely not let it go. They might try to suppress him like they usually did. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, leave this to me.¡± Bell had just finished speaking when the phone in his pocket rang. He took out his phone and looked at the number on it. The person who called was none other than the beautiful female host of the Wilderness Survival program. He pressed the accept button. ¡°Hello, Bell, have you returned to China?¡± ¡°I just arrived today.¡± ¡°Great, I thought you would stay out for a few more days.¡± ¡°When are you free? You know that the production team conducts interviews with the first place contestant.¡± Speaking of this, the host rolled her eyes. Ever since Wilderness Survival began, the interview was always with Bell. Read latest Chapters at Wuxia World . Site Only No one else got the opportunity. Helpless, the production team could only change the interview to top three contestants. Previously, when Bell heard about the interview, he was disinterested. But this time was different. ¡°Let¡¯s do it tomorrow.¡± Chapter 120 - Advertisement The matter was settled. The night passed peacefully. On the next day, the beautiful host from the production team called Bell early. ¡°Hello, Bell, it¡¯s me. How is it? Can you make time today? If you are free, I¡¯ll send someone to bring you over. We still need to do an exclusive interview.¡± ¡°I have time, but there is something I would like to ask the production team for help with before the interview. I wonder if we can discuss it.¡± Bell decided to explain the situation first. On the other end of the phone, the beautiful host was stunned and puzzled. ¡°What¡¯s the matter, Bell?¡± ¡°It¡¯s like this. I want to use this interview to advertise myself. The influence of Wilderness Survival can save me a lot of trouble. I wonder if it¡¯s convenient. ¡± There was no need to hide such a thing. After all, he had to rely on their platform. The beautiful host fell silent for a moment. This matter was neither big nor small. If they used this Wilderness Survival interview to advertise, it meant that the Wilderness Survival¡¯s production team was supporting Bell from behind. At least, that was what the outside world would think. If anything happened to Bell¡¯s advertisement, it might involve the Wilderness Survival team. If it were any other contestant who made such a request, the beautiful host would definitely reject it for the production team without even thinking. But Bell¡¯s identity was different from the other Wilderness Survival contestants. On one hand, Bell had huge potential. On the other hand, Bell would soon be in a partnership with the Wilderness Survival¡¯s production team, so this matter was really difficult to say. ¡°Bell, I can¡¯t give you an accurate answer now, but I can help you ask the leaders of the station. If they agree, this matter will be fine.¡± Bell was not surprised. ¡°Alright, thank you, sister.¡± ¡°I¡¯ll reply to you soon.¡± With that, the two of them hung up. ¡°How is it? Has the production team agreed?¡± When he had called earlier, Scarlett and Keira had been standing beside Bell. The two of them were also very concerned about Bell. ¡°It is not settled yet. She has to ask for the opinion of the station leaders.¡± Bell said truthfully. Scarlett nodded. ¡°That¡¯s normal.¡± ¡°Wilderness Survival has such a great influence now, so if they allow an advertisement, it will definitely attract a lot of attention. This can also be considered to be a way to show their attitude. Ordinary programs would not do such a thing.¡± Bell smiled. ¡°If not for the fact that the Wilderness Survival program team might collaborate with me, I¡¯m afraid that they would not have agreed to it no matter what I said.¡± The few of them knew very well about this. At the end of the day, the cooperation was based on benefits. Ring! The phone rang again, interrupting them. He looked at the number and gestured for the few of them to keep quiet. Scarlett and Keira immediately understood what Bell meant. Clearly, the production team had called. The two of them closed their mouths and stopped talking. Bell picked up the phone. ¡°Bell, it¡¯s me.¡± The beautiful host¡¯s voice sounded. ¡°I know. What¡¯s the decision?¡± Come and read on our website wuxia worldsite. Thanks Bell went straight to the point. The host smiled. It was rare to see Bell so anxious. Normally, this little guy was like a little adult. It seemed like this matter was really important. ¡°I¡¯ve already told the leaders about what you said earlier. To be honest, if it were anyone else who made such a request, the station would have rejected them without hesitation. But Bell, you¡¯re famous now. ¡± The beautiful host teased. Bell smiled awkwardly. ¡°Sister, don¡¯t keep me in suspense. You can tell that this matter is really urgent. What is the decision? Tell me.¡± It had to be said that sometimes, things were easier to do with young age. Bell¡¯s term of sister touched a woman¡¯s heart. The beautiful host on the other end of the phone smiled in satisfaction, seemingly enjoying Bell¡¯s praise. ¡°Alright, I won¡¯t tease you anymore. The leaders have already said that this matter can be discussed, but the station also has something that they need your help with. Take it as a cooperation. We¡¯ll talk about it when we meet. What do you think? Can you accept this condition? ¡± ¡°No problem. The station has already taken care of me by making me the spokesperson. What else can I choose?¡± ¡°Sly fellow.¡± The beautiful host smiled and hung up. In the television station, the beautiful host looked at her phone and shook her head with a bitter smile. Although Bell looked young, his words and actions were watertight. She did not gain any advantage from the conversation just now. Bell¡¯s last sentence actually had two meanings. He expressed that he was willing to cooperate with the television station, and also expressed that this cooperation was limited to endorsing the program. In other words, if they wanted Bell to do anything else, the production team had to pay additional benefits. ¡°What a slippery guy. He¡¯s not old, but he¡¯s so scheming. It¡¯s really difficult to take advantage of him. ¡± ¡°Forget it, not my issue anyway. It¡¯s the station matter.¡± In the villa. Bell hung up. Scarlett and Keira were relieved. They had heard Bell¡¯s conversation. Although they did not know what the other party had said, judging from Bell¡¯s expression, the matter was settled. Bell turned to look at the two of them. ¡°The television station has agreed to it, but we still need to discuss it in detail. They will probably make some plans for the advertisement.¡± Bell said truthfully. ¡°This is only natural. After all, this is an interview for Wilderness Survival, they can¡¯t let you advertise freely.¡± ¡°Then, the few of us should prepare as well. After you announce this news, the few of us will publicly announce that we will be entering your company.¡± Keira said. ¡°So soon? You¡¯ve reached an agreement with the company behind you?¡± Bell looked at Keira in surprise. Read latest Chapters at Wuxia World . Site Only ¡°Don¡¯t worry, it¡¯s just joining your platform, not changing agencies. There¡¯s not much to worry about.¡± ¡°That¡¯s right. We¡¯re not internet celebrities. It¡¯s our freedom to enter any platform.¡± Scarlett said. Bell was relieved. ¡°Alright, in that case, it¡¯s settled. Someone will be coming from the station soon. Are you guys going to come as well?¡± Chapter 121 - Reaction Scarlett and the others were top female celebrities after all. If they appeared together, the effect would definitely be better. But after some thought, they shook their heads. ¡°This is your interview. We won¡¯t be appearing on screen.¡± ¡°We will announce this matter later to increase the influence of the advertisement. It can also attract traffic from other sources.¡± It had to be said that Keira was very experienced in managing a company. The series of methods was also very mature. Seeing that the other party had made a decision, Bell stopped participating. Soon, the beautiful host rushed over with the production team¡¯s staff. Bell also welcomed them warmly. Before the interview began, the beautiful host suggested a collaboration with Bell on behalf of the station. As expected, they wanted Bell to be the spokesperson for Wilderness Survival. Bell accepted the suggestion happily. Of course, because of the advertisement conditions mentioned by Bell, a portion of the endorsement fee was removed. They only gave Bell a normal price that was not high. Bell did not care. The benefits that this advertisement could bring him today were definitely a hundred or thousand times more than the little cut from the endorsement fee. Moreover, the production team could save some money and record more programs. It was also beneficial to him, and he would not lose out. ¡°Bell, speaking of which, I still don¡¯t know what advertisement you¡¯re going to do. Must you use the interview as a platform?¡± The matter was settled. The beautiful host naturally wanted to ask Bell what his plans were. Bell smiled awkwardly. ¡°I¡¯m preparing to open a company and create a live-stream platform.¡± Bell said it casually, but the beautiful host¡¯s eyes widened in disbelief. After a while, the beautiful host reacted and looked at Bell. ¡°Bell, do you know what this means? I heard that you¡¯ve already signed a contract with a company. Why are you setting up a separate company? Is there a problem with the treatment? Or is there a problem with the contract?¡± Seeing the other party¡¯s serious expression, Bell smiled. But before he could speak, the host continued. ¡°This is no small matter. I suggest you think about it before making a decision.¡± ¡°If there¡¯s a problem with the contract or treatment, the production team might be able to help you resolve it.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t worry. With the station around, the treatment and contract will definitely satisfy you. Moreover, they won¡¯t overexert you.¡± The beautiful host had a serious expression. It was obvious that she was not joking. Bell had already become the spokesperson for Wilderness Survival. In a sense, he was already tied to Wilderness Survival. Although the matter of the contestants signing the contract with other platforms was not related to the production team, Bell had a special identity. The beautiful host felt that the reason Bell chose to start his own company was most likely because he had been deceived by his current platform. After all, Bell was so young. Seeing Bell¡¯s age, it was not impossible for him to miss some hidden loopholes in the contract. Since they were going to partner with Bell, the beautiful host felt that the station could help resolve this matter. Bell shook his head and said, ¡°There¡¯s no problem with the contract, but I don¡¯t plan to continue signing the contract with them. Sister, don¡¯t ask about the details. There¡¯s no dispute. Don¡¯t worry about this. The contract can be terminated as per normal.¡± The woman was relieved to hear that there was no dispute, but she was still worried. ¡°Even so, I suggest you consider it. Establishing a company has a huge impact. You might not know about the various implications behind this.¡± Having worked in this industry for more than ten years, she was naturally aware of the dark side of this industry. Perhaps among the top streamers, Bell was relatively special, but in front of the giant organizations, Bell was not special. The beautiful host wanted to continue persuading. But Bell interrupted her with a wave of his hand. ¡°I¡¯ve already thought about the consequences of this matter. Sister, there¡¯s no need to speak further. Let¡¯s hurry and begin the interview.¡± Bell did not plan to tell anyone that Scarlett and the others were moving in. It was not the time. Seeing Bell¡¯s determination, the host sighed. ¡°Alright, since you have decided, I¡¯ll leave it to you.¡± If you encounter any difficulties in the future, you can tell me. Maybe I can help you think of a way. ¡± The beautiful host still did not believe that Bell could successfully build the company. Bell smiled and did not continue. At least, Bell was touched that the other party was willing to help. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, there won¡¯t be any problem.¡± The beautiful host sighed and stopped talking. The interview began. The live broadcast began, and a large number of users entered the live-stream. Bell¡¯s fans were very excited to see Bell again. ¡°F*ck, I am finally seeing the host again after so many days!¡± ¡°Has the host returned to China? Should we hold a fan meeting?¡± ¡°I want to pinch Bell¡¯s face. It feels meaty. It must feel good.¡± The comments in the live-stream floated past. The program¡¯s recording was also quite standard. However, after Bell announced the news of his upcoming company, the entire live-stream exploded. Of course, these reactions were small. After all, whether Bell set up his own company did not affect these fans. It was just changing the channel to watch. However, the platform that Bell was on and some other live-stream platforms that were preparing to recruit him were not calm. In a building in America. ¡°Bastard! What¡¯s his meaning? Is he preparing to tear up the contract?!¡± In the office, a middle-aged man roared angrily. Hanks stood aside and did not speak. He only lowered his head, thinking about something. ¡°Hanks! Inform the legal department! Bell has openly violated the contract. This matter can¡¯t be forgotten!¡± The man looked extremely angry. They were clearly preparing to use the contract to kill Bell. Hanks shook his head. ¡°Boss, Bell hasn¡¯t violated the contract. It¡¯s clearly impossible to stop his company from being established with the help of the legal department.¡± ¡°After all, Bell only set up his own company. There is no rule against setting up a company in the contract.¡± ¡°Moreover, he did not announce changing the platform right now.¡± Chapter 122 - Ban Hanks said the truth. But the man was even more furious after hearing Hanks. ¡°What do you mean? Are you saying that we can¡¯t do anything to him?¡± Hanks did not continue the conversation, but his meaning was very obvious. Bang! The teacup was smashed to the ground and shattered into pieces. After a while. The man seemed to calm down. ¡°If we can¡¯t use the legal department, contact other companies. Ask them to ban Bell! I don¡¯t believe that we can¡¯t even take care of a child!¡± The man sounded determined. Hanks could not help but worry. ¡°Sigh, as expected, Bell is too rash. How can he decide to leave the company like this?¡± In fact, when he heard that Bell was going to set up a company, Hanks was a little excited. The thought of cooperating with Bell popped up in his mind. But Hanks held back. This matter was not easy to decide. As expected, the middle-aged man immediately thought of a plan. He immediately took measures to stop Bell. Faced with the suppression of the organization, Bell would probably not be able to do anything even before his company was established. Hanks sighed inwardly. Seeing that a rising star like Bell would eventually fall in the hands of the organization, he could not help but feel pity. Similar things were happening on other platforms. In their eyes, Bell was a money tree before, but it was different now. He had already grown into a competitor. Since they could no longer have it, they had to suppress it with all their might. Bell had no idea of what was going on behind the scenes. In the villa, Scarlett and the others were watching Bell¡¯s interview through the laptop. At the same time, the reactions of the fans in the video were also seen by them. ¡°I have to say, Bell¡¯s reputation is really high now. Even I¡¯m tempted by this increase in fans.¡± Scarlett smiled. Although they were top celebrities and had much more fans than Bell, their number of fans had accumulated over the years. On the other hand, how long had it been since Bell debuted? ¡°Wilderness Survival is so popular now, and Bell is even one of the best. It¡¯s not surprising that he has such a result. According to the current momentum, this is still far from Bell¡¯s limit.¡± Keira analyzed. Natalie and Anne nodded in agreement. ¡°Alright, everyone, the matter on Bell¡¯s side has been resolved. It¡¯s up to us now. Those companies probably can¡¯t sit still anymore and have already begun to take action.¡± Keira smiled. Scarlett and the others covered their mouths and laughed. ¡°They¡¯ve probably already begun to form an alliance with other platforms to get rid of Bell. I wonder what their reaction will be when they know that we¡¯re going to enter Bell¡¯s platform too.¡± Scarlett was looking forward to it. Normally, these video platforms were high and mighty. But these top female celebrities did not care about them. Now that the few of them had joined forces to go against these platforms, it would be quite interesting. The few of them began to move. At the same time, Scarlett gave Li Ziqi a call. It was surprising. They were like cat and mouse, who could have thought that Scarlett would contact the other of her own initiative. Bell¡¯s interview was quickly finished. The various platforms moved very quickly. News from various platforms were quickly released on Weibo. Although they did not explicitly say that they wanted to ban Bell, the meaning between the lines was clear. Previously, these platforms had been trying their best to praise Bell, wanting to praise him to the skies. Now, their attitude had a 180-degree change. It was astounding. The fans were confused, not knowing what was going on. ¡°What¡¯s going on? Why are all the major platforms speaking so strangely today?¡± ¡°Previous poster, you still don¡¯t know. The various platforms have already sent out news that they want to ban Bell.¡± ¡°Ban Bell? Didn¡¯t they want to rope in the host? Why has their attitude changed all of a sudden?¡± Many fans who did not know the inside story were puzzled. The attitudes of the various platforms changed too quickly. ¡°You guys don¡¯t know this, right? Bell was an independent celebrity. Without a company, the various platforms will naturally want to rope him in. Now that he wants to set up a company, it means that he will be a competitor in the future. Bell has such a high traffic flow, how can the various platforms let him continue to grow? ¡± There was no lack of knowledgeable audience in the live-stream who saw through the trick. Hearing these explanations, everyone was enlightened. Many Bell¡¯s fans were cursing at the various platforms for being shameless. However, the platforms did not care. Some small streamers and well-known streamers who had heard that Bell had established a company wanted to join his platform. After receiving this news, they hesitated. ¡°Forget it. Let¡¯s see how this goes first.¡± For a moment, everyone was observing the situation. The company that had just been established should have had a good start. In the end, because of the intervention of a group of capitalists, it turned into a depressing start. The various platforms were very happy to see this. ¡°Haha, good! Let¡¯s see how he builds the company without anyone.¡± The middle-aged man said excitedly in the office, feeling very satisfied with the effect of his ban. Hanks also received this message and could only shake his head in pity for Bell. ¡°Looks like there¡¯s really no hope. That¡¯s right, how can a weak match the powerful?¡± ¡°It¡¯s a pity. After this, I¡¯m afraid it¡¯s impossible for Bell to be taken seriously like in the past. His number of fans might be greatly reduced.¡± Everyone thought that Bell was destined to fail. The newly established company would also die immediately. All the major platforms maintained a wait-and-see attitude. At the same time, they were thinking about how they should skin Bell after this storm passed. This was what they were most concerned about. They could join forces and trample Bell under their feet, or they could teach Bell a lesson and praise him again. However, at that time, he would not receive such generous treatment. ¡°Young people are indeed young. They don¡¯t know how to treasure their opportunities.¡± After knowing about Bell¡¯s situation, everyone shook their heads regretfully. However, no one knew what was hidden under that expression. Chapter 123 - Breaking Through the Ban Following the ban issued by the various large platforms, although it had only been less than half a month, news about Bell began to fade. The major media stopped forwarding Bell¡¯s news. It was as if Bell had disappeared from the entire media industry. Other than some active fans in Bell¡¯s live-stream, there were no other traces of Bell¡¯s fans anywhere else. The power of organizations was so terrifying that it could easily make a person disappear from everyone¡¯s vision. In the building in America, the middle-aged man was in a good mood when he saw the situation on the Internet. ¡°Alright, let¡¯s see how this punk will negotiate with the platform this time! Does he really think that he can put on airs with the platform just because he has some reputation? He¡¯s overestimating himself!¡± In fact, even the men did not expect the various platforms to be so united. It was mainly because the pressure on the various platforms was too great. Hanks looked at the middle-aged man and did not speak. He had been paying attention to Bell¡¯s news. But to his disappointment, Bell did not respond. It was as if nothing had happened. Even though the traces of him had begun to disappear on the Internet, Bell still did not take any measures. This made Hanks wonder if he had misjudged him. Bell, who had been so tough before, was going to compromise after experiencing such a little suppression? ¡°A child is still a child. If others were banned, they would at least resist for a while. Bell actually didn¡¯t even react. I reckon he can only be controlled by these platforms in the future.¡± Other than feeling pity, Hanks was also glad. Fortunately, he had not been hot-headed and joined Bell¡¯s company. Otherwise, his life would be ruined. ¡°Boss, are we going to give up on Bell after suppressing him like this?¡± Hanks wanted to ask about the company¡¯s arrangements for Bell. Was he preparing to continue banning him like this, or was he going to wait for a while and groom Bell again after grinding down his edges? The man stopped smiling and spoke. ¡°There¡¯s no hurry. Let¡¯s hold it for a while longer. We can contact him when he can¡¯t take it anymore.¡± Clearly, the man was still not satisfied with Bell. He felt that Bell needed to be suppressed a little more before he could be obedient in the future. Hanks understood what his boss meant. It seemed like even if Bell returned to the platform, he would only be able to obtain a second-rate contract. This was an agreement between the various platforms. After suppressing the internet celebrities, they would not be able to obtain top contracts when they signed the contract again. They were at most second-rate. As time passed, the contract conditions might get better, but there was no need to think about the top unless someone supported them. However, Bell was just a newbie. How could anyone stand up for him? Hanks felt bad for Bell. It could be said that Bell had destroyed himself. Suddenly, the middle-aged man seemed to think of something and turned to ask Hanks. ¡°By the way, I asked you to contact the Wilderness Survival team to ban Bell. How is the situation?¡± ¡°The Wilderness Survival¡¯s production team did not give any response. They probably won¡¯t agree to a joint ban.¡± The man fell silent for a moment. ¡°They don¡¯t agree?¡± ¡°It doesn¡¯t matter. Just the production team alone can¡¯t cause much trouble.¡± ¡°I¡¯ll contact Bell again in half a month.¡± The middle-aged man stopped thinking about this and left the office. Hanks sat back in his seat, his eyes downcast. Bell¡¯s outcome seemed to have been decided. To be honest, he was a little grieved. Unfortunately, he also did not have the courage to challenge these organizations. He sighed and was about to read Bell¡¯s comments online. However, the next second, a notice popped up on his computer screen. The renowned female celebrity, Scarlett Johansson, announced her participation in Bell¡¯s platform. The title of the announcement was the most eye-catching. Seeing this announcement, Hanks was stunned, but he was not too surprised. He had watched Bell¡¯s previous show. Back then, Bell had saved Scarlett¡¯s life. It was not difficult to understand that she was standing forward to repay him. However, Scarlett alone did not have the ability to reverse the situation. In the end, she was just accompanying him. Hanks did not care and prepared to click the pop-up window. Whether it was true or false, it did not affect the general situation that much. However, another piece of shocking news was sent to him. Keira Knightley announced her participation in Bell¡¯s company. Anne Hathaway announced her participation in Bell¡¯s company. Natalie Portman announced her participation in Bell¡¯s company. The famous internet celebrity, Li Ziqi, entered Bell¡¯s company. Hanks rubbed his eyes in disbelief. ¡°This is!¡± So many top celebrities joined Bell¡¯s platform at once. Hanks had no idea what was going on. Hanks could not sit still anymore and opened a pop-up window. In the video, Keira Knightley was talking on the microphone. Hanks did not pay attention to the details, but he grasped the main point. Keira Knightly announced that she would be joining Bell¡¯s platform, and the reporters below cheered. Bell, who had disappeared for nearly half a month, appeared in the public eye again in this explosive manner. The same thing was happening on Scarlett Johansson and the other female celebrities¡¯ sides. After clicking on a few comments, Hanks sat in his seat in disbelief, his mind unable to calm down for a long time. Unknowingly, Bell¡¯s news had already spread throughout the industry. The popularity of the top female celebrities had completely broken through their ban, and even made their actions a little laughable. Hanks knew that this matter had not happened for long. Most probably, it had happened this morning. In other words, this matter had just finished spreading and was already known by the netizens. Hanks pressed Bell¡¯s live-stream with a trembling hand. In the live-stream, the large number of comments completely covered Bell¡¯s screen, and a portion of it was already blocked. In just a day, Bell¡¯s number of fans had increased by six million, and it was still increasing. Some streamers from other platforms also came to congratulate Bell. Although it had been nearly half a month since Bell announced the start of the company and the congratulations were quite late, Hanks and the other platforms knew very well what this meant. Chapter 124 - Icing on the Cake Faced with the commotion in Bell¡¯s live-stream, Hanks knew it best. It would not be long before the topic of Bell spread. To be precise, this was already showing signs. When the time came, Bell would appear in front of the audience again. Bell¡¯s established company also appeared in everyone¡¯s vision. The fact that Bell could still break through the blockades of the various platforms proved his strength. In addition, there were a few female celebrities. It could be imagined that the thoughts of the streamers on various platforms would definitely start to churn. When the streamers chose a platform, they did not just look at the salary offered by the platform. Their revenue involved dividends. If the platform had a high traffic flow, even if the treatment was not enough, it was enough to make up for it. This was also why the larger the platform, the easier it was to attract streamers. In fact, the individual treatment was not much different. ¡°Hanks! What¡¯s going on?¡± The middle-aged man rushed into the office with a phone in his hand and questioned Hanks. Clearly, he had read the news online. ¡°Boss, the female celebrities who had recorded the show with Bell have already announced that they are preparing to enter Bell¡¯s platform. I just looked at Bell¡¯s live-stream and saw that the number of fans is almost 40 million.¡± Hanks said calmly. The middle-aged man grabbed Hanks¡¯s laptop and looked at the scene in the live-stream. In the live-stream, Bell did not do anything special. He just chatted with the audience. However, even so, the fans in the live-stream were still very enthusiastic. Not only the fans, but also the streamers from various platforms came to join in the fun, bringing a lot of traffic. This also included the few streamers who had signed with Twitch. ¡°Rebellion! They¡¯re rebelling!¡± In his rage, the middle-aged man threw the laptop to the ground and panted heavily. ¡°Investigate! Who is so bold? Didn¡¯t the various platforms already announce that they will ban Bell? These streamers actually dare to join in the fun. They have to be investigated thoroughly! They have to be dealt with severely!¡± The middle-aged man trembled in anger, but Hanks did not move. ¡°Hanks, didn¡¯t you hear me?¡± The man was very displeased with Hanks¡¯ performance. He was in a hurry to vent his anger. But Hanks shook his head. ¡°Boss, it¡¯s useless to investigate now. Bell¡¯s company has already spread the news. With those top female celebrities joining, even if we want to ban them, we can¡¯t. The companies behind those top female celebrities won¡¯t agree.¡± In fact, there was something that Hanks did not say. At this moment, even if they found out who the streamers of their platform were, what would it do? Since they had already joined the stream, it meant that they wanted to join Bell¡¯s company. If they tried to force them, they would be pushing these streamers to Bell¡¯s platform. The middle-aged man was even more furious, but it was useless. Bell was doing a live broadcast. Suddenly, the phone rang. He looked at the time and realized that he had broadcast for several hours. It was almost time to end the broadcast. ¡°Alright, everyone, today¡¯s live broadcast ends here. Soon, I will begin a new round of adventure. I look forward to everyone¡¯s support.¡± After saying goodbye, he turned off the live broadcast and picked up the phone. The person who called was none other than the company that had wanted to rope in Bell after Wilderness Survival. They had previously said that they wanted to collaborate with Bell on a show, but because Bell had fallen into a crisis some time ago, there had been no news from them. Now that Bell had broken through the blockade, they called again. ¡°Hello, Mr. Bell, do you remember me? I¡¯ve contacted you before about a collaboration.¡± ¡°Oh, of course I remember. But you said you wanted to organize the details of the program¡¯s recording, but you didn¡¯t message after that. I thought that this matter was settled.¡± Bell smiled and said casually. However, the woman on the other end of the phone blushed when she heard Bell. It was obvious that Bell was making fun of her. Previously, the two sides had said that they were going to cooperate, but in the end, Bell was banned. There had been no news from her side. Now that the ban had just broken through, they were bringing up the past again. To be honest, this intention was a little too obvious. But there was nothing she could do. After all, Bell was a top celebrity. To be honest, her side was not a huge platform. If they tried to invite Bell at that time, they would have to consider their own abilities. They might even lose their entire company. They could not afford to take this risk. ¡°We are sorry to have kept you waiting. We were busy with other matters, so we didn¡¯t disturb you.¡± ¡°I¡¯m calling to ask you this time. We¡¯re preparing to hold a wilderness survival program in the eastern Australian wilderness. I wonder if you¡¯re interested in participating?¡± ¡°Of course, you¡¯re an expert in wilderness survival. If you agree, we can leave the decision to you.¡± The woman¡¯s attitude was very respectful. Bell fell silent for a moment. Eastern Australia wilderness? He knew of this place, and it was a very interesting wilderness survival location. The most important thing was that he had asked the Wilderness Survival¡¯s production team before. After this program was completed, it would take nearly two months to complete some adjustments. He would not be able to sit still during this period. Most importantly, his company was already established. It was necessary to take the opportunity to gain some popularity. It would be difficult to attract audience just by chatting online. This suggestion hit the nail on the head. Hearing Bell¡¯s silence, the other party was a little anxious. ¡°Mr. Bell, are you still listening? Have you considered this matter?¡± Bell finally reacted. ¡°Oh, this suggestion is not bad. Why don¡¯t I consider it and give you an answer tomorrow?¡± ¡°Alright, Mr. Bell. I¡¯ll wait for your call.¡± The two of them hung up. Not to mention the excitement of the woman on the other end of the phone, after a moment of silence, Bell walked to Scarlett¡¯s room. During this period, the few of them had been living in this villa. The main reason was that the company had just been established, and there were too many things to do. Moreover, Bell was a major shareholder, so they had to discuss everything. Chapter 125 - Planning the Show There was a knock on the door. The door opened and he saw Keira in her nightdress. Her eyes were still a little dazed, and she was clearly not fully awake. Seeing her like this, Bell couldn¡¯t help but frown. Looking at the time, it was already 9 am. Good lord, looks like I came at the wrong time. ¡°Er, why don¡¯t you sleep for a while more?¡± Bell said awkwardly. Hearing Bell¡¯s voice, Keira slowly woke up. ¡°It¡¯s so early. What¡¯s the matter?¡± Keira pouted and said unhappily. ¡°I have something to discuss with you guys. Do you guys need to rest for a while? Why don¡¯t we talk in the afternoon?¡± Through Keira, Bell could already see a few long white legs bare on the bed behind her. Clearly, she was not the only one who did not get up. Bell wondered if he had woken up too early. Keira noticed Bell¡¯s gaze and her eyes became clearer. She smiled and teased. ¡°Is it nice?¡± Hearing Keira¡¯s words, Bell froze, then realized that he had been caught. Rubbing his nose awkwardly, Bell smiled shyly. ¡°I¡¯ll wait for you in the living room.¡± Then, he quickly ran away. Seeing Bell like this, Keira couldn¡¯t help but laugh. In the living room, Bell sat on the sofa. From time to time, he would recall the scene he had just seen. ¡°Damn it, is this body going through puberty? Why is my mind filled with such nonsense recently?¡± Bell shook his head and tried to throw away the distracting thoughts in his mind. However, the effect was minimal. It had to be said that the few female celebrities had top-notch looks. Ordinary people would feel inferior when they stood in front of them. Bell¡¯s self-control was already very good. While Bell was still thinking, Scarlett¡¯s voice came from behind. ¡°What are you doing? I heard from Keira that you¡¯re looking for us? What¡¯s the matter?¡± He turned around and saw the few women walking out in their pajamas. Although their eyes were still a little dazed, they were no longer sleepy. However, they looked even more attractive with this simple outfit. Bell felt his mouth dry. He drank some water and calmed down. Bell said. ¡°It¡¯s like this. Previously, during the program¡¯s recording, there was a video streaming site that contacted me to record a program together.¡± ¡°The time will probably be soon, but the company has just been established. There seems to be a lot of things to do. I wanted to ask you if you need my help with anything. If I need to be present, I will decline the program.¡± Bell said. After hearing Bell, Keira fell silent for a moment. ¡°There¡¯s nothing you need to do regarding the company for now. Although it has just been established, because it is still in the starting stage, there¡¯s nothing important.¡± ¡°If you want to record a show, you can go do it. During this period, various platforms have banned you. It¡¯s a good opportunity to accumulate some popularity with this show. I wonder what the nature of this show is and if it suits you. Don¡¯t let it have the opposite effect.¡± ¡°There are many people watching you now.¡± The few of them spoke seriously. Bell listened to them. ¡°Don¡¯t worry about the recording. They said that they will discuss this with me. If the program is fine, I am prepared to agree.¡± ¡°Alright, don¡¯t worry about the company. You don¡¯t have to worry about us.¡± After the discussion, seeing that they were fine, Bell was relieved. Bell arranged a location with the person he had talked to earlier. To Bell¡¯s surprise, the other party was in Shanghai with him. The two of them arranged to meet at a tea house. Soon, a woman in office attire appeared in front of Bell. ¡°Hello, Mr. Bell. I was the one who contacted you, my name is Ye Fei.¡± Hearing the voice, Bell looked up and saw a beautiful woman. She was holding out her hand for a handshake with a smile. Bell was stunned. To be honest, the other party¡¯s voice sounded quite young. He thought that it was a young girl, but he did not expect her to be a mature older sister. As for how old she was, it was not convenient to say. ¡°Hello, I am Bell.¡± The two of them introduced themselves and sat down. After getting to know each other, the two of them went to the main point. Ye Fei took out a stack of documents from her bag. ¡°Mr. Bell, these are the contract for this program¡¯s recording, as well as the general content. If there are any areas that you need to modify, you can tell me.¡± Ye Fei smiled and handed the document to Bell while looking at him curiously. Although it was the first time she and Bell had met, she had seen Bell many times in various articles and streams. Ye Fei had always been very curious about Bell. Such a young child could actually survive in the wilderness. Moreover, he had such skilled techniques. It was simply unbelievable. Ye Fei could not help but size Bell up to see how this little guy had done it. However, she knew the reason for her visit. Therefore, she restrained herself. However, she would secretly look at Bell from time to time. Bell did not know what Ye Fei was doing. At this moment, he was reading the two documents that Ye Fei had handed him. Bell read the contract in detail. There were no problems. It was just some benefits. The treatment given by the production team could only be said to be moderate. Compared to Bell¡¯s value, the benefits were not high, but it was not ridiculously low. However, Bell was recording this program for the sake of exposure, and not for benefits. Under the suitable circumstances, he did not harp on it. Then, Bell looked through the plan for the program¡¯s recording. Just like what Ye Fei had told Bell over the phone, the recording location this time was in the wilderness of eastern Australia. However, the detailed plan was not written on it. ¡°Mr. Bell, considering that you¡¯re the true expert in wilderness survival, it¡¯s not good for us to make too many plans. We can only plan out the general content and let you complete some mission targets at the same time so that you can increase the viewership as much as possible. I wonder if you¡¯re satisfied with this?¡± Chapter 126 - : Australian Wilderness Bell returned to his villa. Bell did not disturb Scarlett and the others. In the live-stream, Bell smiled at the audience. ¡°Everyone, I have good news. Our new round of adventure is about to begin. This time, the location will be in the eastern wilderness of Australia. Many people might feel that this place is unfamiliar, but I will bring everyone to take a look soon.¡± ¡°We won¡¯t be streaming for the time being because we have to prepare some equipment.¡± Hearing that a new round of adventure was about to begin, the audience was extremely excited. ¡°Is the host finally going to start the program again? I thought the Wilderness Survival program team said the next round will only be after two months.¡± ¡°I seem to have heard of the eastern wilderness. I heard that there are many large beasts there. Will it be okay? This is not just a matter of environmental obstacles.¡± Bell¡¯s live-stream not only had fans in China, but also in other countries. Hearing that Bell was going to such a dangerous place, some fans could not help but be worried. There might be a way to overcome the natural environment, but against ferocious beasts, there was no way to resist unless you ran faster. Seeing the comments from the fans, Bell smiled. But he did not say anything. Because this was not a recording of Wilderness Survival, Bell had to prepare many things. The recording equipment was still manageable. After all, he had a good relationship with the Wilderness Survival¡¯s production team, so he could borrow their equipment. However, he had to think of a way to resolve the remaining issues like the rescue staff. Although recording programs valued reality, Bell did not want to lose his life. Fortunately, these things were resolved with the help of cash. The time for the recording came soon. Opening the live broadcast again, a large number of fans entered the live-stream. At this moment, Bell was in a helicopter. He was thousands of meters in the sky. ¡°Dear viewers, it¡¯s nice to meet you again. As you can see, I am now above the wilderness of eastern Australia, but this distance is still a little far.¡± ¡°It is not Wilderness Survival program this time, so there are no other contestants. I have to handle all things like getting the helicopter and so on.¡± Bell moved closer to the camera and said nervously. ¡°To be honest, I spent a lot of money to reserve this helicopter. Moreover, I signed an agreement with them. If anything happens when I parachute from a high altitude, their company will not take responsibility for it.¡± Seeing Bell¡¯s nervous expression, many of the audience were amused. ¡°Alright, everyone, I won¡¯t joke with you. This wilderness survival officially begins. I¡¯m now in the eastern Australia wilderness. The terrain here is quite complicated and the environment is dangerous. If you don¡¯t have a survival skill that matches it, you might not even be able to survive a day here. I will show you how to survive here and successfully return to civilization.¡± Then, Bell turned to the helicopter pilot and made an OK gesture. ¡°We have arrived at the designated location. Flight altitude is 3,000 meters.¡± Hearing this height, many people gasped. Although they had seen Bell parachute before, it was at most from a few hundred meters high. They did not expect it to be so high this time. But before anyone could speak, Bell gave the camera a thumbs up. Then, he opened the cabin door and jumped out of the helicopter, surprising the audience. ¡°F*ck, is the host going all out this time?!¡± ¡°Parachuting from 3,000 meters in the sky, this is too awesome!¡± ¡°Come, don¡¯t many people want to imitate Bell¡¯s wilderness survival style? Imitate this.¡± ¡°F*ck, this is the greatest daredevil host I¡¯ve ever seen. Is he really going to risk his life?¡± ¡°Is the hosting industry already so dangerous now?¡± Instantly, everyone was excited. At the same time, some streamers, who were watching Bell¡¯s stream and wanted to see his survival style, dispelled their thoughts when they saw Bell¡¯s actions. They could not afford to provoke such a guy. This was not something ordinary people could try. It could be said that Bell¡¯s action had raised the threshold of wilderness survival by several notches. If in the future, anyone claimed to be a professional survivalist, the first thing they would be asked would probably be, ¡°Do you know how to parachute?¡± There was no way to continue. Bell was experiencing the feeling of being hugged by the sky. He was getting used to the feeling of free falling, as if he was flying without any external help. Although this action was very dangerous, it had to be said that it was very mesmerizing. It was no wonder so many people were willing to try even though they knew the danger. In his excitement, Bell even made a few difficult movements in the air, making everyone cry out in surprise. After all, he was at a height of 3,000 meters. If he did not open the parachute, he would fall to the ground in 40 to 50 seconds. Of course, the parachute jumpers would generally open drogue chute at about seven hundred meters which would then open the parachute. Bell looked at the altitude in his watch. The jumping numbers told him that it was going down rapidly. After reaching the designated altitude, Bell instantly opened the parachute. The parachute popped open. Immediately after, he felt a strong force pull him up. The feeling of rapid decline had completely disappeared. In the air, Bell carefully controlled his parachute to find a flat landing spot. A lake soon appeared in his vision. It was a good place to land. ¡°Everyone, do you see that? I will choose that place to land.¡± ¡°Remember, don¡¯t choose to land in the forest when parachuting. Otherwise, you will be hung on the treetops like a salted fish, and you might be injured from the fall.¡± The altitude fell bit by bit. Everyone had seen Bell¡¯s perfect parachuting technique before, but this time, he had jumped from a high altitude, so it was a bit different. But Bell did not disappoint. The parachute landed accurately in the middle of the lake. The cold lake water made Bell shiver. ¡°We can¡¯t waste time. Let¡¯s leave this place and return to shore. This is the wilderness. There might be predators in the water.¡± Chapter 127 - Differing Temperature After a while, Bell broke free of the parachute and finally dragged his drenched body to the shore. Sitting on the shore, Bell looked back at the lake and breathed heavily. ¡°In Australia, there are many saltwater crocodiles. Of course, they are mostly in northern Australia, but that doesn¡¯t mean that they won¡¯t appear in other areas.¡± ¡°Saltwater crocodiles are the largest living reptiles on Earth. They can grow to seven meters in length. Some people even said that they had found a saltwater crocodile nearly nine meters long. They can weigh 1 ton.¡± ¡°These guys reside in Australia and are at the top of the food chain.¡± ¡°And one thing has made these terrifying creatures famous worldwide.¡± ¡°That is the Battle of Ramree Island in World War II.¡± ¡°When the British forces outflanked Japanese troops on Ramree Island, the Japanese troops tried to escape through a mangrove swamp on the island and were attacked by a large number of saltwater crocodiles within a thousand days. More Japanese troops died from the mouths of saltwater crocodiles than on the battlefield.¡± ¡°It can be seen how terrifying these guys are.¡± After regaining some strength, Bell stood up and wrung out his clothes before putting them on. The damp feeling made him feel uncomfortable. At the same time, it increased his weight and increased his stamina consumption. After doing all this, Bell moved further away from the pool. ¡°In Australia, you have to be careful of lakes. There might be large creatures hiding in the water. The bite force of saltwater crocodiles is very terrifying. These guys can even destroy the hard shells of turtles.¡± ¡°Everyone, just imagine the outcome if you get bitten.¡± The audience in the live-stream trembled. They did not want to think of it. Bell stood up and looked around. This was a flat wasteland, and around it were endless mountains. The highest point looked to be more than a thousand meters tall. Bell chose the old rules and looked for the highest place. This was the best way to find the path. But at the same time, Bell did not forget to explain the situation of the Australian wilderness to the audience in the live-stream. ¡°I know what everyone is paying attention to. In this wilderness, besides the wild beasts, the most lethal creatures are the snakes, insects, rats, and ants.¡± ¡°This can be said to be a land of death.¡± ¡°You might not believe it, but there are 140 species of land snakes and 32 species of sea snakes recorded in Australia.¡± ¡°About a hundred of them are venomous.¡± ¡°Now, what do you think about the danger level of this wilderness?¡± Bell¡¯s words were casual, but the audience subconsciously swallowed their saliva. Their nervousness was stirred. How was this a challenge to nature? This was simply playing with their lives. They felt like they would die here if they were not careful. ¡°F*ck, isn¡¯t the host going too far? There are so many venomous creatures here, but he doesn¡¯t have an antidote.¡± ¡°Previous poster, I can tell that you¡¯re a new audience. Who is Bell? Isn¡¯t Australia like a buffet to him?¡± ¡°F*ck, stop talking, host. Just hearing it gives me goosebumps.¡± Looking at the messages on the screen, Bell smiled. ¡°Alright, everyone, like before, I brought a bag, a dagger, and a water canteen. I didn¡¯t bring anything else.¡± ¡°I believe some of the older audience already know what I¡¯m doing. That¡¯s right, I am climbing to the high ground and observing the surroundings before formulating our survival route.¡± ¡°After all, it¡¯s easy to encounter danger in such an environment.¡± ¡°We have two goals now. The first is to climb that mountain before dark to plan our route. The second is to create a shelter before dark.¡± ¡°This is the first guarantee to ensure our survival in this environment.¡± Bell hurried along. Time passed slowly. Bell was still moving forward. He was getting closer and closer to the mountain he had seen earlier. ¡°For this wilderness survival live broadcast, we have chosen the Great Dividing Range which is the watershed boundary between the drainage basins of river systems east and west of it.¡± ¡°Perhaps some audience will know that the Great Dividing Range is a strange geographical phenomenon. The mountain range here can stretch for thousands of kilometers while completely separating the eastern coast from the inland.¡± ¡°Such a scene can¡¯t be seen anywhere else.¡± The closer he got to the mountain, the denser the trees became. At the same time, because of the season, the fallen leaves had piled up on the ground. ¡°Someone had measured this large ridge before. It¡¯s about 3,500 kilometers long and about 160 to 300 kilometers wide.¡± ¡°Our goal is to cross this mountain range in front of us and return to the eastern coastal area.¡± ¡°There are many people living there, and it can be considered as passing this survival adventure.¡± ¡°Of course, the most important thing now is to reach the top.¡± ¡°The temperature here is only about 15 degrees in this season.¡± ¡°But I¡¯m not saying the temperature is low everywhere.¡± Bell pointed behind him. ¡°That¡¯s the inland. Although it¡¯s so close, the temperature in the inland wilderness is at least 30 ¡ãC. Even reaching 38 ¡ãC in the north and west is not the limit of this wilderness.¡± ¡°Sometimes in the summer, you can encounter a terrifying temperature of 50 ¡ãC. Imagine what 50 ¡ãC is like.¡± ¡°The cause of all this is this huge ridge in front of us. It cut off the sea breeze from blowing inland.¡± ¡°The lack of sea breeze to balance the temperature caused the inland temperature to increase sharply.¡± ¡°It can be said that everyone who lives here is a brave warrior who challenges danger.¡± ¡°The mortality rate is higher than 70% in this wilderness.¡± ¡°Now, we have to hurry up.¡± While he spoke, Bell had already arrived at the foot of the mountain. ¡°Our luck is not too bad. Although this mountain is very high, it is not steep. This can save us some energy.¡± Chapter 128 - Black Widow Time passed slowly. Bell also felt vaguely exhausted. Wiping the sweat from his forehead, Bell said, ¡°We have to move faster.¡± ¡°Everyone knows that the higher the altitude, the lower the temperature. For every 1,000 meters higher, the temperature would drop by 0.6 degrees. The mountain we are climbing is at least 1200 meters tall. At the top of the mountain, the temperature will be a pitiful five degrees Celsius. At night, it will drop further.¡± ¡°To be honest, I don¡¯t want to spend the night in this temperature.¡± Bell did not dare to stop moving. However, he suddenly realized something and stopped. He looked ahead. The audience in the live-stream was also puzzled when they saw Bell stop. The camera followed Bell¡¯s gaze. Not far ahead, on a bush, there were two branches with spiderwebs. At the top was a thumb-sized black spider, and there were some dark red patterns on its back. Just the sight made one feel uncomfortable. They subconsciously wanted to hide further away. Bell carefully moved closer to get a clearer picture. ¡°Everyone, do you see this? This is a very dangerous redback spider. Perhaps you might not be familiar with this name, but you should be familiar with its other name. That is the black widow.¡± Hearing this familiar name, the audience in the live-stream exploded. They had been a little puzzled. They had never heard of a redback spider. How venomous could it be? But now that they knew this spider¡¯s name, no one dared to look down on this little guy. ¡°So this is the black widow.¡± ¡°Host, it¡¯s better to stay away. I heard that this thing is very venomous. It¡¯s difficult to treat even if you have an antidote.¡± Some fans began to worry. Bell did not pay attention to the audience¡¯s comments. Instead, he continued to explain the habits of the black widow. ¡°I believe everyone has heard of this black widow spider. Actually, this familiar name is its nickname. Its original name is the redback spider. The reason why it has this nickname is mainly because this spider will eat the male spider when mating.¡± ¡°These spiders are very ferocious. When there is no food, they will choose to eat their own kind.¡± ¡°Moreover, its venom is very strong and can kill people.¡± ¡°When you are bitten by the redback spider, the first symptom is painful swelling around the bite. At this moment, it means that the venom has begun to spread in your body. Then, you will begin to have a fever, vomiting, and even shock. If you don¡¯t choose to deal with it in time, the possibility of your death will increase greatly.¡± Hearing that this small spider was so dangerous, even through the screen, everyone had goosebumps. ¡°Alright, let¡¯s not provoke it. Let¡¯s continue moving.¡± After discovering such a dangerous creature, Bell did not dare to be careless. Bell was not slow. In a plain forest, a thousand meters would take less than half an hour. However, he was hiking now, so the time taken increased exponentially. In the end, as Bell had expected, it took three hours to reach the top. Standing on the mountaintop, feeling the cold wind, Bell felt his mind clear. The live broadcast equipment also reflected the scene in front of Bell¡¯s eyes to the audience. In front of Bell was an endless mountain range. Looking around, Bell pointed in a direction. ¡°That mountain range looks relatively flat. This can save us a lot of energy.¡± ¡°The average width of this large watershed can reach 240 kilometers. This also determines that we cannot not travel in a straight line. The mountains are too high and some places are too steep, so we have to choose a relatively easier path. Even if we have to take a longer detour. If I¡¯m not wrong, we will be able to walk out of this mountain range in about five days. Of course, this is an optimistic estimate.¡± Bell smiled and explained to the audience in the live-stream. ¡°To be honest, this is the greatest challenge I¡¯ve ever faced. In such an environment, the slightest mistake could result in death. I haven¡¯t married yet. I have to be extra careful. ¡± Seeing Bell¡¯s expression, the audience in the live-stream hooted again. ¡°Scarlett Johansson is here after hearing the news!¡± ¡°Host, do you want to know about child marriage? I can give you the contact details.¡± Seeing the atmosphere become lively, Bell stopped joking. It was just a casual comment. After confirming his survival route, Bell did not dare to delay and carefully descended the mountain. Compared to going up the mountain, going down the mountain was much faster. At least it would not take three hours like before. But this did not mean that it was easier to leave the mountain. On the contrary, because of the steepness, sometimes tripping over a small stone could take one¡¯s life. Bell could only carefully move. Fortunately, it was a safe trip. In the end, Bell returned to the flatland. He was relieved to see that the terrain was no longer steep. This was a shady area among the mountain range. It was rarely illuminated by the sunlight, so the vegetation was not dense. There were mostly weeds which were not picky with the environment. Perhaps in other environments, this situation was very bad, but it also provided some convenience for Bell. Bell kept moving forward. Soon, he stopped at the foot of a mountain. There was a slope ahead. The slope was filled with rocks. Bell shrugged. ¡°Alright, it¡¯s another round of obstacles. Now, everyone can see that there are no trees around, so it is definitely impossible to rely on external items to advance. However, I can teach everyone a new method today. This approach has been widely used in various countries¡¯ military history. It can fully display the strength of the human muscles. Although the efficiency is lower than the pole jump method, it is easy to use. It¡¯s a good choice in this situation. ¡± Chapter 129 - Parkour Bell said as he stretched his muscles. ¡°Actually, this method is not difficult. It¡¯s similar to extreme sports like parkour. This method can be traced back to the Vietnam War. It is a method developed by a French soldier to run quickly and clear the obstacles. By running quickly, your body can adjust itself to stimulate the human reaction nerves. ¡± ¡°I¡¯ll show everyone this method.¡± ¡°Actually, I recommend that everyone practice running when they have nothing to do because this exercise can not only strengthen the body, but also save your life. It can sharpen your reaction.¡± While talking, Bell finally finished his preparations. ¡°Alright, everyone, let¡¯s begin.¡± Bell ran and jumped high. Bell jumped onto a huge stone that was two meters tall easily. Then, he did not stop at all. He pushed himself up and continued running. His movements were smooth. Instantly, the audience in the live-stream was dumbfounded. With Bell¡¯s figure, he passed through the two-meter-tall stone in less than two seconds. It was unbelievable. ¡°F*ck, what did I just see?¡± ¡°Who said that China has no kung fu? I am seeing it with my own eyes.¡± ¡°Coach, I want to learn this!¡± The audience in the live-stream was excited. The foreign audience was especially excited. The words ¡°Chinese Kung Fu¡± kept flashing across the screen. With the skills in his mind and his excellent physique, it took Bell less than five minutes to pass through the rocky area. Standing firm again, Bell took a deep breath. ¡°Actually, during the running, the breathing rhythm is very important. A good breathing rhythm can allow you to jump further and stimulate the strength of your body. This involves the normal breathing or breathing when you use force. There are many requirements. There are too many techniques involved in this that cannot be explained in a few words. You will have to test it out yourselves.¡± ¡°We¡¯ve passed the rocky area. We can move on.¡± ¡°We need to find a shelter first before preparing to start a fire.¡± ¡°The night here is very cold. If there is no fire to keep us warm, we can easily fall sick.¡± Bell finished the explanation. The audience in the live broadcast finally reacted. Bell¡¯s smooth actions were still replaying in everyone¡¯s minds. ¡°F*ck, host, I know how to parkour too, but I really can¡¯t do things like you.¡± ¡°Host, tell us the truth. Do you really not know kung fu?¡± ¡°Coach, I want to learn this.¡± ¡°Previous poster, your coach asked me to tell you that he wants to learn too.¡± ¡°I¡¯m going to China to learn kung fu.¡± Many of the audience in the live-stream did not believe that Bell was doing simple parkour. There was nothing he could do about this. He could not say that his physique was different from ordinary people. Although it was only the body of an eight-year-old child, the strength it emitted was no different from an adult man. He might as well let this beautiful misunderstanding continue. After passing the rocky area, the remaining path was much smoother. However, after an entire day of work, the sky gradually darkened. Bell looked at the sun. ¡°According to my estimate, it should be completely dark in less than two hours.¡± ¡°Our shelter has yet to be settled. We have to resolve this problem first.¡± Bell kept thinking. Suddenly, Bell¡¯s eyes lit up. A large withered bush appeared in front of him. This bush was very lush and filled with weeds. Bell quickly walked forward and carefully observed the bushes. ¡°Guys, I think I found our shelter.¡± ¡°These bushes are growing well. As long as I clear it and create a space that can accommodate me, it can be a shelter. Earlier, I said that the temperature here will drop very low at night. With these weeds and bushes to cover me, the low temperature will not be so difficult to pass. Most importantly, this bush can save us a lot of time. We can use this time to start a fire and search for food. ¡± Bell¡¯s hands were not idle either. The weeds and bushes in front of him were half the height of an adult human, so there was no need for other shelter. Bell gently separated the weeds and took less than ten minutes to create a two-meter-deep ring-shaped weed nest. Looking at the nest in front of him, Bell smiled bitterly. ¡°Although its appearance is not good, it can indeed keep us warm.¡± Bell lay in and tried it. It was soft and showed no signs of dampness. ¡°Not bad. Looks like I can rest well tonight.¡± ¡°We still have time. Let¡¯s see if we can find some food to eat before it gets dark. To be honest, I¡¯m already very hungry. ¡± The audience looked at Bell¡¯s petite figure and couldn¡¯t help but laugh. ¡°Host¡¯s appearance reminds me of the wild hare in my village.¡± ¡°He¡¯s really cute.¡± Everyone joked. Bell only smiled and did not retort. The sky was darkening. There was less than an hour to go before it became completely dark. Bell had to start a fire before that. ¡°Because time is tight, we can only focus on the surroundings. In this terrain where there are rocks, bushes, and weeds, there are usually some small rodents.¡± Bell squatted and flipped the stones to see if there were any insects or rats. ¡°We have to find some food to fill our stomach. It¡¯s best if it contains high proteins. Maintaining body temperature in a cold environment will consume a lot of energy. For example, in the outdoors in winter, people will feel different levels of coldness when they are full and when they are hungry.¡± Bell said to the camera as he carefully searched. ¡°Look what I found!¡± Bell suddenly shouted. Everyone followed Bell¡¯s gaze and saw a ten-centimeter-long spider lying on a rock. Through the light of the screen, everyone looked at the spider more carefully. If the spider completely stretched its legs, it would be as long as 16cm. Chapter 130 - Tarantula Looking at the big guy on the screen, the audience in the live-stream immediately reacted. The comments exploded. With the introduction of the black widow spider, many of the audience felt that this spider was probably venomous. Most importantly, this spider was so big. The female fans who were afraid of insects immediately closed their eyes and did not dare to look. ¡°F*ck, what kind of spider is this? Why is it so big?¡± ¡°I feel goosebumps all over. Can you move the camera further away?¡± ¡°Does Bell have any bad thoughts about this spider?¡± ¡°Previous poster, shut up. I am already thinking about it.¡± Bell did not pay attention to the reactions of the fans in the live-stream. His attention was focused on the spider. ¡°This is a tarantula. They are very fast. We have to lower our voices.¡± Bell gestured for the audience to keep quiet. Although they were separated by the screen, the audience couldn¡¯t help but be nervous when they saw Bell¡¯s nervous expression. It was as if they were there themselves. The spider on the rock showed signs of moving. The compound eyes on the head slowly turned in Bell¡¯s direction, clearly having discovered him. However, because Bell did not move, it did not react. The human and the spider looked at each other. Bell took a deep breath. Suddenly, he became like a black panther, pouncing at the tarantula. However, this tarantula was not slow either. Seeing Bell pounce at it, it quickly reacted and jumped deeper into the bushes. Although the tarantula was not small, it would be much more difficult to capture it once it entered the bushes. But Bell knew the habits of the tarantulas and had naturally thought of a plan. Before the tarantula could fall into the bushes, Bell grabbed it. ¡°Little guy, you want to run after being targeted by me?¡± Bell was very pleased to have caught a prey. At the same time, he brought the tarantula to the screen and signaled for everyone to watch. ¡°Look what I¡¯ve caught. A tarantula. This thing can only be seen in a few places like Australia and Amazon. ¡°Moreover, this is the first time I¡¯ve seen such a big guy.¡± ¡°I would like to remind everyone that although I am grabbing this thing with my hand, the tarantula is also venomous. However, there is no need to worry. This kind of tarantula is harmless to humans. Even if we are bitten by it, we will only feel some pain. However, it is fatal for some small mammals.¡± The audience felt a chill when they saw Bell holding such a large tarantula. When they heard that the tarantula was venomous, they could not hold it in anymore. ¡°F*ck, host, please spare us. Who can endure this?¡± ¡°This thing is actually venomous? Will there be a problem?¡± Everyone could not help but worry. But Bell did not care. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, this little thing is just a tonic to me.¡± ¡°Now, we just have to cut off his head and the rest can be eaten.¡± Bell pressed the tarantula on the ground and took out the dagger, then carefully cut off the stunned head. Although the head was cut off, the rest of the spider kept on moving due to reflex. The audience felt their scalps tingle. Hearing that Bell was really planning to eat this tarantula, everyone felt a chill. ¡°No way, is the host serious?¡± ¡°Can this thing really be eaten?¡± Many people did not believe it. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, tarantulas can definitely be eaten, but it can¡¯t be eaten raw like other insects because there are many fine hairs on its body. Once it enters the respiratory tract, it will easily be infected and might even cause asphyxiation.¡± Bell explained to the audience seriously. Hearing Bell¡¯s words, the audience did not know what to say. He brought his prey back to the built shelter. He began to prepare to start a fire. ¡°We need fire for dinner and to provide warmth while we sleep.¡± ¡°Although there are many stones here, these things can¡¯t be used to start a fire.¡± ¡°We¡¯ll do it the old way. Drill wood to start a fire. Fortunately, the temperature here is dry, and withered branches are not difficult to find.¡± As he spoke, Bell quickly found what he needed and lit the fire. Then, he picked up the tarantula corpse and found a thick and suitable dry branch to put on it, and slowly roasted it with fire. The fire burned the hair on the tarantula¡¯s body, making crackling sounds. The fine hairs on the surface of the tarantula were quickly burnt clean. He turned the tarantula around before bringing it closer. He blew on it and dissipated some of the temperature. He gently pulled off a tarantula¡¯s leg. He placed it in his mouth and chewed it. The audience couldn¡¯t help but hold their breaths when they saw Bell¡¯s expression. They wanted to see his expression after this. However, after chewing for a while, Bell¡¯s eyes lit up. ¡°This is a little unexpected. This spider leg tastes quite good.¡± ¡°It¡¯s even better than some crab legs. Maybe it¡¯s because the tarantula is more active.¡± ¡°Although there isn¡¯t much meat on the legs, they are indeed more chewy.¡± Even though Bell said this, the audience still could not take it. ¡°F*ck, host, please stop talking. I won¡¯t even eat crab legs in the future.¡± ¡°The food program will begin now. Tonight, we have prepared the Thorny Spiders.¡± Bell ignored the audience. This was wilderness after all. It was impossible to consider everything. At least, it was extremely difficult to ensure the taste of what you find. After tearing off a few of the spider¡¯s legs and eating them, Bell looked at the slightly swollen stomach of the spider and bit down. Bell shook his head. ¡°This tarantula¡¯s stomach is not as delicious as its legs. It¡¯s sticky and nauseating.¡± The audience expressed that they could not hold on anymore. ¡°Please spare us.¡± ¡°I don¡¯t think I can watch food programs anymore.¡± ¡°Host, you¡¯re really not picky with food. Other than the previous camel hump, there doesn¡¯t seem to be anything that you can¡¯t eat.¡± ¡°Hehe, previous poster, you¡¯re too naive. Why don¡¯t you test it out with Bell? See how he looks at you when he can¡¯t find food?¡± Chapter 131 - Early Morning, Stream Reading the teasing comment, many people thought of that scene. If they teamed up with Bell and went to the wilderness, and when they had no food, Bell would look at them. That scene was terrifying to imagine. Ignoring everyone¡¯s teasing, Bell finished eating the food. Although the taste of this tarantula was not good, it was fortunate that it could replenish nutrients for him. ¡°Alright, this tarantula has provided us with a lot of proteins. At the very least, it can let us pass the night.¡± ¡°Today is the first day of this wilderness survival. To be honest, this place is not human friendly, but this is the normal state of the natural environment. We will be facing a new round of challenges tomorrow. I hope everyone will come watch it. ¡± ¡°But we have to rest now.¡± Hearing that Bell was preparing to rest, the audience slowly left the stream. But even so, there were still millions of fans staying in the live-stream. In an office building in Shanghai, Ye Fei was extremely excited as she watched Bell¡¯s live broadcast. ¡°As expected, inviting Bell was the best decision.¡± ¡°Sigh, it¡¯s a pity that we couldn¡¯t sign Bell. Otherwise, this traffic¡­¡± Even the top streamers in the country did not dare to say that they were going to exit the broadcast like Bell. There were still millions of fans left in the live-stream. This was not the traffic from the platform, but Bell¡¯s true fans. This was already beyond the ordinary level of viewership. On the screen, although Bell said that he was going to sleep, he did not immediately go to sleep. Instead, he moved some stones and soil from the surroundings. He was lying in the bushes when he slept at night. The fire was so close to him. If the fire accidentally spread to him, that would be a very grieving death. After all, the bushes and weeds were flammable. Once there was a slight spark, it would immediately cause a huge fire. After taking the proper defensive measures, Bell lay down and gradually fell asleep. Bell had an extremely good mentality. Even in the wild, he was able to fall asleep quickly. Actually, it was normal. It would be strange if he could not sleep from all the physical exhaustion and challenges he went through every day. The next morning, the sun gradually rose above the horizon. Some of the nocturnal creatures went back to their nests. Birds and insects chirped in the valley. They were like an alarm clock that woke Bell up. The morning air was slightly cold. Bell felt a chill when he stood up. It had to be said that this shelter made of weeds and bushes was quite effective. He did not feel cold at all that night. It would be impossible if it were anywhere else. He got up and glanced at the number of fans in the live-stream. Because he had been sleeping the entire night, there was not much to watch, so the number of viewers decreased by a lot. There were only two million fans who were commenting from time to time. But seeing Bell wake up, the audience in the live-stream instantly became lively. ¡°Bell, you¡¯re up so early?¡± ¡°Inform our friends, the host has woken up. Bring them over quickly!¡± As the comments were sent, Bell realized that the number of fans in the live-stream was increasing rapidly. In just a short while, it returned to nearly ten million. ¡°Good lord, did you guys keep on staring at me?¡± Bell joked with his fans. ¡°Alright, the new day has begun. According to our plan yesterday, we need to reach the bottom of the valley and continue south. ¡°Compared to our current journey, the terrain there is clearly much smoother. Moreover, there is water as well.¡± When he woke up, Bell had recovered a lot of strength. Because he had already planned the route, what he needed to do now was quite simple. Moreover, the terrain became even smoother as he advanced on the path he had set. Soon, Bell arrived at the back of the valley. ¡°I can feel the temperature here. It¡¯s much higher than on the mountainside.¡± Bell said as he felt the temperature change. At this moment, Bell was moving much faster on the green grass. However, Bell did not lower his guard. ¡°In this wilderness, you can¡¯t let down your guard because of the environment. I remember saying that there are a hundred venomous snakes here. Although not all of them are fatal, there were more than ten that can easily cause death. In addition, there are also redback spiders and funnel-web spiders.¡± Bell looked serious. ¡°Everyone, don¡¯t think that I¡¯m being an alarmist. There was a couple who came to explore this place. In the end, they were bitten by a venomous snake not long after they got out of the car because of their lack of protective measures. The woman died on the way to the hospital. ¡± ¡°A human¡¯s reaction is far inferior to that of a snake. In a confrontation with a snake, by the time you dodge, it might have already injected the venom into your body.¡± ¡°But it¡¯s early in the morning and the temperature is not high. Snakes usually don¡¯t move at this time. After all, they are cold-blooded animals.¡± ¡°But this can¡¯t be a reason for us to be careless. Other than that, there are venomous spiders. They are very active all day round.¡± Bell explained solemnly. In fact, if Bell was not streaming, he would not have had to be so careful. After all, he had the system. If anything happened, he could use the system shop to exchange for the serum. But he could not mislead the audience in the live-stream. Therefore, Bell decided to explore normally like an ordinary person. As time passed, the sun rose higher and higher, and the temperature increased. That unfriendly side of the sun was revealed before everyone again. Fortunately, Bell found a stream not far ahead. Seeing the water source, Bell quickly moved towards it. Glancing at the upper reaches of the stream, he drank it in peace. If it were any other time, he would have definitely purified it first. But he had not drank water for a day and night, and was really too thirsty. The cold river water flowed down his throat, making Bell refreshed. ¡°This is a stream formed by melting snow. Sometimes, you have to sigh at the wonder of the Creator. It was clearly very hot here, but it is a different scene at the back of the huge watershed. The mountains are covered in snow. ¡± Bell took off the canteen from his waist and filled it with water. ¡°We are going to follow this stream.¡± Chapter 132 - Dingo ¡°This stream is close to the direction we chose.¡± ¡°We can follow it for a while. This can ensure that we have plenty of water during this period. It¡¯s not too late to move away when this stream goes in another direction. ¡± Bell explained to the audience. In this environment, following the stream was much better than walking blindly. If he was lucky, he might be able to find some food. Bell looked around as he advanced. ¡°I only ate a tarantula last night and it has already been digested. The hunger is constantly reminding me to get food.¡± ¡°It should be easy to encounter some large mammals in a large mountain range like this. At this time of the year, these places would have large numbers of kangaroos, alpacas, wild goats, and other animals. These are all good proteins. ¡± The audience could not help but cry out in surprise when they heard Bell introduce the food list. ¡°F*ck, forget it, host. Do you want to try kangaroo meat too?¡± ¡°Is he planning to fight the kangaroo?¡± ¡°Why do I remember that alpacas can¡¯t be eaten?¡± ¡°Previous poster, you¡¯re overthinking. This is wilderness. If you were to wander in the wilderness and are about to starve to death, would you not eat it just because the other party is a non edible animal?¡± Bell saw the audience¡¯s argument. Seeing that the fans were about to argue, he quickly explained. ¡°Alright, don¡¯t be noisy. Actually, your worries are completely unnecessary. Be it kangaroos or alpacas, they are both delicacies in Australia. I won¡¯t explain much about kangaroos. There are many kangaroos here, and there is a hunting program every year. As for alpacas, it is said that Melbourne has very delicious alpaca meat dishes. Many restaurants even became famous because of this. However, the problem now is that this thing isn¡¯t easy to catch. They even spit at you. You won¡¯t be hurt physically, but psychologically. If I have a choice, I would rather fight the kangaroo. ¡± Bell said half-jokingly. The audience in the live-stream was amused. ¡°Haha, the host is too talented. F*cking psychological damage.¡± ¡°The other party has launched a mental attack that dealt critical damage to Bell.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t you guys have the experience of being spat on by the alpaca in the zoo?¡± ¡°Previous poster, your comment has exposed your experience.¡± Bell ignored the comments in the live-stream. He did not have much energy to joke with the audience. It might not matter normally, but in a situation where there was a lack of food, even talking was draining. If he had the time, Bell wanted to rest for a while, but he could not do so yet. After walking for nearly an hour, the stream went a different direction, and Bell had to move away from it. He could only replenish some water before he left the stream. Bell suddenly realized something. The camera in the live-stream turned to the grass. ¡°There is some feces here. If I¡¯m not wrong, this should be the excrement of some dingoes.¡± ¡°From the dryness of the feces, those dingoes passed by here about six to seven hours ago.¡± However, this is the grassland, and it is not easy to leave footprints. We have no way of telling where these wild dogs went. We can only pray that we don¡¯t encounter them. ¡± Bell stood up. ¡°Dingo is actually a subspecies of the gray wolf. Although it is called a dog, it has always been living in the wilderness, and has retained most of their wolf habits. These guys will usually hunt in a small group of three to five. Moreover, they have a strict teamwork, and their cooperation is very good. Although they are small, they usually hunt animals three to four times larger than them. Large creatures like kangaroos are on their hunting list.¡± ¡°If it¡¯s just one, I¡¯m confident of killing it, but if I encounter a small group, I¡¯ll probably have to escape.¡± Bell was very confident in his strength. In fact, he had another meaning behind saying that he might need to escape. With his current physique, he could deal with three to five dingoes, but injuries were inevitable. Being injured in such an environment was very bad news. Bell did not want to encounter such a situation. Bell walked forward while explaining the situation. Many fans would have a misconception when they heard about the dingoes. Dingoes were not large predators, and they were not dangerous like lions and tigers. Many people might have encountered some large stray dogs. When these dogs went crazy, it was not impossible to stop them if they used their full strength. Therefore, when they heard Bell say that these dingoes were very dangerous, they did not care. It was not until they heard Bell say that even large animals like the kangaroos were the prey of these wild dogs that they realized that they had underestimated the predators in this wilderness. ¡°You might not know this, but there are also some villages in the Australian wilderness. Every year, these villagers would have conflicts with the dingoes in the wilderness. Because there are many dingoes here, they have no natural enemies. Even top hunters would choose to avoid these wild dogs. ¡°In this saturated state, dingoes often charge into the residential area and start a conflict. There was once a news report that the dingoes rushed into a village and tore a child apart.¡± ¡°The Australian government has no choice but to hunt these dingoes regularly.¡± Suddenly, Bell seemed to think of something, and his expression became strange. ¡°I suddenly thought of something. I forgot to mention it.¡± The audience in the live-stream was stirred up by Bell¡¯s words. ¡°What¡¯s the matter, host? Is there anything special to pay attention to when facing this wild dog?¡± ¡°I think there¡¯s only one thing to pay attention to, and that is to stay as far away from it as possible.¡± Looking at the comments on the screen, Bell smiled evilly. ¡°In fact, these Australian wild dogs have one thing in common with African hyenas. Of course, this might also be a habit caused by the environment. When these wild dogs capture their prey, they usually choose to eat their prey while they are still alive. However, because wild animals often have thick fur and fat to protect themselves, they are not easily torn apart. They usually have to start from the softest place. ¡± Chapter 133 - Preparation for the War With that, Bell smiled wickedly. The audience in the live-stream was stunned. What did he mean by starting from the softest spot? But soon, someone reacted. ¡°F*ck, this thing is too detestable.¡± ¡°Stop talking. Our hemorrhoids are already starting to ache.¡± ¡°F*ck! Is it like cutting into your skin?¡± ¡°Hmm? Previous poster, have you experienced it?¡± ¡°I suddenly understand why the host said that he would run if he encountered them.¡± ¡°I would rather die than meet such a perverted creature.¡± Looking at the reactions of the people on the screen, Bell smiled at seeing his prank succeed. It was noon, and the sun was high above Bell¡¯s head. Although Bell was walking in the valley, it was still difficult to find a place to avoid the sunlight. Bell¡¯s stomach growled from time to time. The voice was so loud that even the audience in the live-stream could hear it. But other than comforting him, they could not bring him any help. Bell was helpless. After walking for such a long time, he did not see anything edible. He was really unlucky. He climbed over a hill with difficulty and stood on a high ground, looking at the surroundings. Suddenly, Bell¡¯s pupils constricted. He did not have time to explain and quickly fell to the ground. Seeing Bell¡¯s nervous expression, the people in the live-stream became nervous and looked in the direction of Bell¡¯s gaze. On a flat grassland below the hill, a few thin and weak canine creatures were lying on the grass as if they were sunbathing. In just an instant, everyone guessed the identity of these creatures. They were the dingoes that Bell had introduced earlier, and there were five of them. Bell was lying on the hill, only daring to show his head. He was about 200 meters away from the wild dogs. This was not far, but it was not close either. Moreover, Bell was lying in the grass, so he was not discovered. ¡°F*ck, host, you really encountered it. Why don¡¯t you run away? You might lose your butt.¡± ¡°Yeah, host, these things are too dangerous. Safety is the most important. Hurry up and leave.¡± Some fans in the live-stream began to persuade Bell to leave. But Bell did not listen to their advice. The hunger that kept coming from his stomach made Bell look at these dangerous wild dogs not with fear but with greed and desire. Bell quietly retreated to the back of the hill and explained to the audience. ¡°I told everyone just now that these dingoes usually move in a small group of three to five.¡± ¡°Everyone saw it just now.¡± ¡°To be honest, if it were any other time, I would definitely be thinking of leaving. But now I¡¯m really too hungry. If I can catch a dingo, I won¡¯t have to worry about food for the entire day.¡± Bell looked eager to give it a try. In the live-stream, everyone was shocked when they heard that Bell was going to challenge such a dangerous creature. ¡°Host, you should consider it. You said that this thing is very dangerous. You might even be turned into prey.¡± ¡°Yeah, host, it¡¯s better to run while they haven¡¯t sensed you. There is nothing but prey in this wilderness. Why do you have to be obsessed with this thing?¡± Everyone was worried for Bell. After all, he was only eight years old. Faced with such a ferocious creature that could even hunt large mammals, they did not have much confidence in Bell. But Bell shook his head firmly. ¡°No, we have no other choice. I am already exhausted from not eating for the entire day. If I delay any longer and don¡¯t encounter other prey, I will not be able to continue. At that time, even if I see a prey that is not dangerous, it will be difficult to capture it. The situation will be worse than now. ¡± Although hunger was constantly eating at Bell, his brain was still clear. The audience in the live-stream stopped talking. After all, Bell was the survival expert, and they were just a group of audience. All they could do was pray for Bell. Comments praying for Bell¡¯s safety floated through the live-stream. Bell smiled and continued to analyze. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, I won¡¯t act rashly. These guys are small, but they can reach 40 miles an hour. I am not a match for them in a straight line running. ¡± ¡°However, this creature has a characteristic. Their starting speed is not fast, and it can even be called slow. These wild dogs need to spend ten minutes to reach their fastest speed. Therefore, as long as we can reach a range of 50 meters, I am confident of capturing one. ¡± ¡°But now, there is a technical problem.¡± Bell¡¯s expression collapsed. ¡°They are very vigilant, and their sense of smell is as sensitive as all canine animals. We are at the upwind position. They will smell us as soon as we climb over the hill.¡± Bell looked around again. ¡°From the looks of it, we can only choose to go around and move from the downwind.¡± After formulating the plan, Bell began to implement it. There was a deep grassland less than 100 meters away from the wild dogs. There were also some rocks. If he could reach there, he could hide his figure and get very close to the dogs. Driven by hunger, Bell decided to give it a try. After all, if he succeeded, he would not have to worry about food today. Bell¡¯s eyes became determined. ¡°Do you see that weed? We have to go around it.¡± This might consume more of our stamina, but we have to take a gamble. Although we have to be careful in the wilderness, we also have to face some difficult challenges. ¡± Bell looked hot-blooded, but the immaturity on his face made him look cute. The tense atmosphere in the live-stream dissipated. At the same time, many comments teased. ¡°Is the host preparing for war?¡± ¡°Why does it feel like I¡¯m watching an action anime?¡± ¡°Haha, I think he¡¯s cheering for himself.¡± ¡°All the best, we support you.¡± Looking at the comments of the fans in the live-stream, Bell smiled and ignored them. After adjusting his condition, his gaze became sharp. He crawled on the grass like a cheetah and quietly approached the spot he had pointed. Chapter 134 - And Hes Off Bell carefully moved toward the weeds on the right of the five dingoes. However, when he was about to reach the spot, Bell was stunned. He saw a rocky area behind the weeds. More importantly, this rocky area was very steep, almost reaching a 90-degree angle. There were no vines or roots to use as leverage. ¡°Err, can I take back my words? Why don¡¯t we eat something else?¡± Looking at the danger zone in front of him, Bell scratched his head awkwardly. ¡°Hahaha, there are times when even the host is in trouble.¡± ¡°Wasn¡¯t the host quite confident before? It¡¯s time to show it.¡± ¡°That¡¯s right, host, let¡¯s follow the original plan. If you succeed, I¡¯ll gift 100 rockets.¡± The audience in the live-stream began to cheer. It was rare to see Bell suffer. Seeing these words on the screen, Bell rolled his eyes. ¡°I say, you guys are looking down on me. I just find it troublesome. If you guys are like this, I will have to prove it today.¡± Bell walked toward the rocky area like he was angry. The audience was also amused by Bell¡¯s expression. ¡°Yo-yo, our Bell is angry.¡± ¡°Haha, don¡¯t be anxious. My 100 rockets are already ready.¡± ¡°Previous poster, you¡¯re too generous. Hurry up and support the host.¡± ¡°Congratulations, the leader of Bell¡¯s fan club no. 1 has gifted Rocket x10.¡± Leader of Bell¡¯s fan club no. 1: Host, this will be considered an advance payment. The rest will be given after you succeed. Looking at the rockets on the screen, Bell stretched his muscles. ¡°Looks like I haven¡¯t proven myself in a long time. I have to let you guys get to know my skills again today.¡± Bell carefully observed the rocky area. Although there were no vines or other things to climb on, Bell soon discovered a crack at the edge of the rocky area. This crack was not big, only about a meter wide. It was undoubtedly very difficult for an adult to pass through. But it was just right for Bell. Bell tested it and nodded in satisfaction. ¡°That¡¯s right. It¡¯s very difficult to find a foothold on this kind of mountain wall. This crack can help me.¡± ¡°Seeing that you guys like to watch the show, I¡¯ll teach you another move today. ¡°When there is such a crack, we can choose to use the chimney technique to climb.¡± Bell placed his feet on one side of the crack. ¡°Then, it¡¯s like this. Step hard on the two sides of the rock wall. This exertion creates a counterforce that makes our backs stick to the wall. It¡¯s like we¡¯re stuck in the middle. There¡¯s no need to worry about falling. ¡± ¡°Your arms can also borrow some friction. ¡°However, remember not to rely on the strength of your arms alone.¡± Bell began to move his legs and slowly push his body upward. ¡°When climbing, you have to learn to use the strength of your legs. The muscles of a person¡¯s legs are much more developed than their arms, so they have more strength and are not easily exhausted. ¡°As for our arms, they are used to ensure balance.¡± Seeing that Bell was really using this method to move up, the audience in the live-stream immediately fell silent. As Bell gradually rose higher, he did not talk as much as before. On one hand, it was because he needed to regulate his breathing, and it was not convenient to talk constantly. On the other hand, as he climbed higher, he was approaching the five dingoes. Wild animals had very sharp hearing. Once they heard him, all his efforts would be in vain. After climbing for more than ten minutes, Bell finally climbed up the rocky area. In fact, this was not a good result. Under normal circumstances, Bell was confident that he could climb faster and reduce this time by nearly half. However, his condition was not as good as it looked. At least, his stamina was greatly exhausted. It had been two days since yesterday morning. Bell had only eaten one tarantula. He was extremely hungry. Bell climbed up the rocky area and hid behind the weeds and rocks, quietly observing the five dingoes. Fortunately, although he had spent quite some time, the wild dogs had not left. ¡°Looks like this is their territory.¡± The prey did not escape, and Bell sighed in relief. In his current state, he did not have much strength left. If the other party was preparing to leave, he would have no choice but to take the initiative to attack. The chances of failure were too high. Although the climb looked easy, in fact, Bell¡¯s legs were extremely sore. Hiding in the weeds, Bell adjusted his breathing while not forgetting to relax the muscles in his legs. His technique was like a professional coach, kneading every muscle in his leg appropriately. It was to let them relax again. This process actually took half an hour. Fortunately, it worked. Although he was not in a perfect state, it should be enough to chase after these few dingoes. Bell gestured for the audience to keep quiet. The audience knew that Bell was planning to begin the operation, and they couldn¡¯t help but worry for him. They even subconsciously held their breath to avoid disturbing Bell. They had forgotten that they were behind the screens and not with Bell. Bell looked at a dingo in front of him and took out a dagger. He had already observed this prey for a while now. Compared to the other dingoes, this one was thinner, which meant that its stamina was worse. The success rate was higher if he targeted it. Taking a deep breath, Bell adjusted his condition to its best state and simulated the route that he might take when chasing the dingo. Then, his expression turned solemn, and his gaze seemed to only have the dingo in it. ¡°Wilderness Hunter, activate.¡± Bell said inwardly. In order to ensure that his hunt would succeed, Bell chose to use his skill. As he activated the skill, Bell felt a force enter his limbs. His exhausted body had returned to its peak. His vision, hearing, and neurological reaction had all been improved. At this moment, Bell could even clearly hear the beats of his heart. Whoosh! Bell shot forward like an arrow, his figure so fast that the live broadcast equipment could not react in time. Chapter 135 - Hunting Success The camera slowly turned after Bell left. By the time everyone saw Bell clearly, he was already five meters away. In other words, in that instant, Bell had already run 5 meters away. This speed was terrifying. The audience couldn¡¯t help but secretly swallow their saliva. ¡°This¡­ this¡­ Bell¡¯s speed!¡± Everyone was shocked. Soon, perhaps because of the sound made by Bell or the smell on Bell, the five dingoes turned their heads in Bell¡¯s direction. Clearly, they had discovered Bell. At this moment, Bell was less than 70 meters away from them. Seeing that a creature dared to charge at them, the five simple-minded dingoes were clearly stunned. In this wilderness, the Australian wild dogs were definitely at the top of the food chain. There was almost no creature they did not dare to hunt. However, the aura and the greed in Bell¡¯s eyes shocked them. The five dingoes felt danger from Bell. Under their survival instincts, the wild dogs reacted and fled in different directions. However, they were still a step too late. While the animals were in a daze, Bell had used his extreme speed to reduce the distance to less than 20 meters. It would take some time for these creatures to run faster. Faced with Bell, who had raised his speed to the limit, the dingoes were clearly not his match. This situation was completely within Bell¡¯s expectations. He ignored the relatively stronger ones. His hunting target, the thinnest one, was falling behind at the back as expected. Bell was in good condition. It could even be said to have exceeded the limits of ordinary people. If he participated in the 100-meter sprint at his current speed, he might create a new record. Unfortunately, there was no stopwatch here. All there was was the speed of death in the wilderness. Whoever was slow or weak would be reduced to food. The law of the jungle was vividly displayed here. The dagger in Bell¡¯s hand turned into a sharp tusk. Under that dingo¡¯s frightened expression, Bell pounced. He was like a hungry tiger pouncing on its prey. Immediately after, a cold light flashed past the dagger and accurately pierced the throat of the prey. Because of the stab, the blood pressure in its body increased, and blood sprayed out. After losing its vitality, the wild dog took two more steps and collapsed to the ground while whimpering. Its whimpering cry was a cry for help. The four dingoes who had run far away heard the sound and looked back. Seeing their friend lying in a pool of blood, they were even more afraid. They immediately ran away without daring to look. Bell also returned to normal after completing the hunt. He stepped on the ground stained with the blood of the dingo and walked to its side. Bell picked it up. ¡°Looks like our luck is not bad.¡± Although this dingo is thinner than the others, it is enough to be our food. To be honest, if it weren¡¯t for the fact that the raw meat of dingo is not delicious, I would have eaten it already.¡± After using the Wilderness Hunter skill, Bell felt even more stimulated. Fortunately, the food was already in front of him, so he did not have to worry anymore. He controlled himself. In this wilderness in Australia, the biggest predator was this kind of Australian wild dog. Therefore, Bell was not worried that the smell of blood would attract other large animals. If he could really attract some things, Bell would be very happy. Because this way, he could eat more. ¡°Alright, it¡¯s already noon. We have to continue moving. Although we haven¡¯t eaten, I feel much better with food.¡± Human psychology was really a magical thing sometimes. Before, when there was no food, Bell felt extremely hungry. He even looked like he was going to faint. But with the food guarantee, Bell was not anxious. Even the hunger subsided a little. This was the psychological effect. The physical limit you think was likely just a wrong signal from the body. ¡°This wild dog can replenish enough proteins for us. I can be said to be the most handsome child in this wilderness. ¡± Hearing Bell¡¯s joke, everyone gradually reacted. The previously silent live-stream exploded. Bell¡¯s performance earlier was too shocking. ¡°F*ck, Bell, have you really not trained in martial arts?¡± ¡°Bell, you have just set a world record!¡± ¡°That¡¯s right, I have a stopwatch here. It was a distance of 80 meters, and Bell finished it in less than seven seconds!¡± ¡°This¡­ this is really a man standing at the top of the food chain.¡± The live-stream was filled with cheers. Everyone admired Bell even more. The state that Bell had shown earlier was the speed at which he exploded after being starved for two days. If his stamina was at its peak, it would be unimaginable. Bell only smiled and said nothing. Carrying his spoils of war, he quickly arrived at the slope. He continued forward. At the same time, he did not forget to explain to the audience in the live-stream. Of course, the promised rockets were also delivered. The large number of gifts and red packets increased the popularity of Bell¡¯s live-stream. In an office building in Shanghai, the production team saw the viewership ratings of Bell¡¯s program and the corners of their mouths almost reached their ears. ¡°When Bell returns, I want to meet him in person.¡± This viewership rating was simply terrifying. I really don¡¯t know which platform¡¯s leader had a problem with his head. He actually wanted to push such a money tree away. ¡± Ye Fei smiled bitterly and shook her head when she heard her leader. ¡°Uncle Zhao, if you want to rope in Bell, I suggest you don¡¯t try.¡± ¡°Oh, why do you say that?¡± ¡°Bell has already announced the establishment of his own live-stream platform. He¡¯s no longer a broadcaster. He has his own company behind him. ¡± The middle-aged man reacted. The man called Uncle Zhao rubbed his chin. ¡°Is that so? It¡¯s a pity, but that¡¯s okay. Even if he has formed a company, we can still work together. His company has not been established for long, right? Although it is better to help when needed, this is still better than nothing. Send two streamers to his company. That will show our attitude.¡± Chapter 136 - Reaction From All Sides, Desperate Situation? The man instructed. Ye Fei nodded. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, Uncle Zhao. I¡¯ve already made arrangements.¡± ¡°I¡¯m relieved with you in charge. You have to pay attention to these things. After all, you will be in charge of the entire company in the future. Maintain frequent contact with Bell. Once there¡¯s a chance, we have to pull him to our side no matter what the cost. These trending wilderness survival programs have a lot of potential, but require high skills. It is too difficult to groom a qualified host. This is a huge cake. Do you understand what I mean? ¡± The middle-aged man said. Ye Fei nodded seriously and stopped talking. Compared to Hanks, Ye Fei was not like an ordinary employee to this middle-aged man. Their appellations also confirmed this. In Scarlett Johansson¡¯s villa. Keira, Anne, and Natalie were all gathered. At this moment, Bell¡¯s live broadcast was playing on the big screen. Seeing the comments on the screen, Anne sighed. ¡°Bell¡¯s popularity is still so high. Normally speaking, changing the channel to another platform should have a huge impact. But from the looks of it, he isn¡¯t affected at all. Instead, the number of people has increased. ¡± Although they were not internet celebrities, they were also in the media and knew some information. What Anne Sea said was also a common thing. Many internet celebrities had thrived on specific platforms before. Once they moved their platforms, they might become second or even third-rate celebrities. Some severe cases could result in the loss of all audiences. But from the looks of it, this did not happen with Bell. Everyone could not help but feel curious. Keira shook her head. ¡°It¡¯s normal. Bell is different from other streamers. On one hand, this is hardcore professional knowledge that ordinary people can¡¯t imitate. In addition, this platform has indeed advertised a lot. To be honest, if Bell had not set up a live-stream platform, I would suspect that they were trying to poach Bell.¡± Scarlett Johansson was not concerned about these things. Instead, she looked at Keira and asked about other things. ¡°How¡¯s the company¡¯s situation? Is the video producer and the manager arranged for Bell ready?¡± ¡°Don¡¯t worry. It¡¯s not difficult to find a video producer. I have some connections and have already made arrangements. However, it¡¯s better to leave the manager recruitment to Bell. After all, they need to have a lot of interaction with Bell in the future. ¡± Keira smiled. Although Bell was not in Shanghai, the girls arranged the various matters in the company. Bell had no idea of what was going on behind the scenes. At this moment, he was still constantly moving through the wilderness. ¡°The weather is gradually getting warmer. I need to find a place that is shaded.¡± In this continuous mountain range, there was a similar characteristic everywhere. There were dense forests in the mountain range. As for the back of the mountain, it was a different scene. Most of the land was covered in green grass. With food and water, Bell began to prepare for his camp tonight. In the end, Bell decided on the forest. There were enough tree branches in the forest to start a fire and build a shelter. Time passed slowly. Bell did not stop midway. The dingo¡¯s corpse was not heavy. In fact, compared to some middle-sized dogs, this wild dog was much thinner. According to Bell¡¯s estimation, the entire body was only 15 kilograms at most. With Bell¡¯s strength, this weight was not anything difficult to carry. However, there was something that made him feel a little awkward. Because after moving for nearly three hours with a heavy load, he finally realized that this path was a dead end. In front of him was a flat mountaintop. Further ahead was a ravine that was very deep and about ten meters wide. The ravine isolated the two mountains. Yesterday, when he stood on a high ground and looked over, he could not see so far. He could only vaguely see some scenes. After all, Bell only relied on the naked eye to observe the situation more than ten kilometers away. He was very helpless against what was happening. This mountain terrain was very likely to be formed by crustal movements. In other words, it was an earthquake. Otherwise, it was impossible for such a ravine to form on the mountaintop. It was not surprising for a large-scale earthquake to occur in this uninhabited wilderness. He put down the dingo¡¯s corpse and sat down, adjusting his breath. ¡°The situation isn¡¯t too good now. Looks like our time this afternoon will be wasted.¡± While speaking, Bell leaned against the ravine and looked down. The ground was over a hundred meters away. ¡°Alright, I¡¯m afraid we can¡¯t cross this terrain.¡± But even so, he still felt indignant. After all, everyone knew that a straight line between two points was the shortest. If they had to take a detour, it would not be as simple as turning a corner. They might have to walk for a few more days. In this wilderness, the chances of survival decreased exponentially with every additional day. The shortest path was only ten meters away from him. Bell frowned in displeasure. It was clearly right in front of him, but he needed to detour for a few days or even more. It was just ten meters, but it actually blocked his path. Suddenly, Bell¡¯s eyes lit up. Perhaps the situation is not so bad. This was ten meters. The highest record for long-distance running seemed to be 8.95 meters. Bell estimated the width of the ravine. If he was not wrong, the width should be between 9 to 10 meters. In other words, this had already surpassed the highest record created by humans. Although it was just a difference of a meter, it was akin to the gap between life and death. If he could not jump over, it would not be as simple as falling and having his skin cut. The ravine was over a hundred meters deep. However, even so, this crazy thought was still surging in Bell¡¯s mind. It was difficult for him to suppress it. Chapter 137 - The Leap of Faith, Who Is the King? According to the system¡¯s estimate, his agility was 11 because the advantage of being small was that he was slightly more agile than ordinary adults. When he activated his skill, his Agility could increase to 13 or 14. At that time, his agility would have exceeded 99% of the people in the world. But these were not the key. Most importantly, how far could he jump with these 14 Agility points? Without a doubt, once he succeeded in this matter, it would definitely cause a huge commotion. Reporters would fight to pay a visit. It was not difficult to even enter the Guinness World Record. However, if he failed, the price would be huge. Bell fell into a dilemma. Seeing Bell stop, the audience couldn¡¯t help but provoke him. In fact, no one took it seriously. After all, everyone knew that they could not do this. They only wanted to take the opportunity to liven up the atmosphere. However, they did not know that this ravine happened to arouse the competitive spirit in Bell¡¯s heart. Bell, who was leaving with the dingo¡¯s corpse, stopped in his tracks again. He turned around. The sudden change stunned everyone. There was a trace of craziness on Bell¡¯s face, as well as an unparalleled tenacity. The audience suddenly had a bad feeling. But before they could speak, Bell walked to the edge of the ravine and threw the dingo¡¯s corpse to the other side. Then, he retreated for a distance. ¡°Wilderness Hunter, activate.¡± The shocking speed from earlier was displayed before everyone again. It was even faster than the speed at which he chased the dingo. The threat of death squeezed Bell¡¯s focus and strength to the limit. Bell poured all his strength into his legs. Bang! He jumped up high across the ravine. Bell had made the decision earlier. In fact, he could choose to retreat from this. After all, no one had tried to do so before. But for a survivalist, this itself was a challenge. The nature of wilderness survival was to challenge death and nature. He could not retreat at all in the face of harsh environments and various dangers. The constant breakthrough of oneself was also the charm of wilderness survival. The pride in Bell¡¯s heart did not allow him to give up on this challenge. Therefore, he resolutely chose to cross it. Break the world record? Break the limit? Those were other people¡¯s business. What Bell had to do now was to shatter the fear in his heart. Bell was still in the air, while the audience widened their eyes in disbelief. Seeing Bell¡¯s leap, the hearts of the audience in the live-stream couldn¡¯t help but rise. Almost there. Everyone¡¯s eyes were fixed on the figure in the air. Thousands of hearts seemed to be clenched by an invisible hand, and they almost forgot to beat. Every second seemed to be extremely long. The effect of Earth¡¯s gravity was so obvious at this moment. The mountain ravine that was over a hundred meters deep was like a huge abyss that could swallow anyone at any time. A thousand years seemed to have passed in an instant with the sound of a thud. With a bang, Bell slammed into the wall on the other side of the ravine. Some people could not help but close their eyes, not daring to look. Time passed. The expected cries for help did not appear. When they opened his eyes again, they saw that Bell was hanging on the cliff, his hands tightly clasped on the wall. Bell looked pained. That leap had really pushed his stamina to the limits. His entire body hit the cliff. Fortunately, Bell¡¯s limbs were still alright. Despite the pain, he held the edge of the cliff firmly. Bell felt a sharp pain in his chest. The fresh air that entered his lungs earlier was like steel needles that wanted to pierce through his body. Bell knew that this was a self-protection mechanism of the human body. Their lungs would rapidly expand when they were struck by the ferocious force. It was like an airbag that reduced the impact. Normally, people would take deep breaths to ease the pain. But Bell could not do that now. Once he breathed, he would lose his strength. The deep abyss below was waiting for him. He had to endure this pain. He climbed up while the skill¡¯s duration was not over. Bell did not look down. At this moment, his gaze was focused on the cliff. Bell finally succeeded after putting in all his effort. Lying on the grass, Bell breathed heavily. This feeling of having survived a disaster was terrifying and exciting. In the blue sky, a few birds flew past. At this moment, Bell seemed to have been reborn. Huff ~ Bell heaved a sigh of relief and gradually calmed the discomfort in his lungs. Fortunately, the Wilderness Hunter was activated. This skill could increase his physique in all aspects. Otherwise, he might not have been able to withstand the impact. After all, the toughness of the internal organs was also a part of the body. The live-stream was not as chaotic as expected. Instead, it became abnormally calm. Everyone looked at this scene in disbelief. Bell slowly stood up and looked back at the deep mountain ravine. Bell suddenly smiled. He suddenly realized that this mountain ravine was not as terrifying as he thought. ¡°What did we just see?¡± ¡°Bell really passed!¡± ¡°Did he break the world record just now?¡± ¡°Is this a world record problem? This is a cliff! Do you understand what a cliff is?¡± Everyone was speechless. Bell spread his arms as if he were hugging the sky. He said calmly but domineeringly. ¡°Tell me, today, at this moment, who is the king of this wilderness?¡± The comments in the live-stream exploded. Rockets, planes, yachts, and various gifts floated across the screen. It was as if they didn¡¯t cost money. Bell¡¯s live-stream was filled with wild joy and cheers. Because they had seen the true leap of faith. Although Bell was only eight years old, no one dared to look down on him in the wilderness. His actions today were also destined to set a threshold for all survivalists in the future. Only people who dared to face death were worthy of the title of a wilderness survivalist. Chapter 138 - Title The effect of Bell¡¯s feat lasted for nearly half an hour before it gradually calmed down. In this half an hour, the gifts did not stop even once in the live-stream. In this short period of time, Bell¡¯s number of fans increased by several millions. In the office building in Shanghai, Ye Fei stroked her chest. She still looked fearful. Bell¡¯s actions had really given her a fright. If he died in the show, it would be a huge problem. Fortunately, Bell had succeeded in creating a miracle. ¡°This guy really knows how to tease people.¡± Anger appeared in Ye Fei¡¯s eyes. She was displeased with Bell¡¯s actions. But at the same time, she was excited. After all, this matter was indeed very stimulating. ¡°Haha, I think it¡¯s quite good for young people to have such drive.¡± Uncle Zhao laughed and did not care about the effect of Bell¡¯s actions. ¡°Since this young man dares to try and succeed, it means that besides courage, he is not a brainless person. At least, he knows his strength well. The King of the Wilderness? This title is very interesting. Perhaps it can be a gimmick in the future. ¡± In the field of live broadcasting, it was undoubtedly very exciting for the hosts to put a label on their name. This brought a certain amount of traffic to the host. A domineering name like the King of the Wilderness would undoubtedly bring countless benefits to Bell. At least for the time being, the first person everyone thought of when mentioning the wilderness would be Bell. There was definitely no other person. At the same time, Bell would become a peak, waiting for other challengers. But this matter should not be so easy. After all, Bell had broken the limit of jumping, and it was in such a life and death situation. Just a look at this extremely deep ravine would deter any ordinary people, let alone try to jump across it. Bell did not pay attention to the reactions of the outside world. After calming down, hunger surged again. Rumble A protesting sound came from his stomach, and Bell finally reacted. Ever since yesterday morning, he had been doing intense activity. Moreover, he had just undergone a high-intensity jump. His body had long been exhausted. If not for his willpower, Bell would have fallen to the ground. But even so, Bell¡¯s hands were still slightly trembling. This was a sign of exhaustion that he had not noticed before. He had to find a shelter as soon as possible and cook this dingo. Previously, Bell thought that this dingo was enough for him to eat for an entire day, but from the degree of his hunger, it might not be the case. This dingo might be finished in one meal. He carried the dingo on his shoulder again. Without hesitation, he walked down the mountain and passed through another area of rocks before finding his ideal place. The forest. There were not many animals that could threaten Bell in this area of Australia. Other than the renowned saltwater crocodiles, there were only these wild dogs. Therefore, although Bell was walking in the forest, he was not worried. Saltwater crocodiles usually lived in lakes, bays, streams, and swamps, and there was no trace of them moving on such tall mountains. Therefore, he could ignore this when building a shelter. He only needed to see a place that could block the rain and wind. It would be best if the shelter could help him maintain some temperature like the bush yesterday. That way, he could have a good sleep. The main reason was that he was too exhausted. He had to simplify everything. Even if he wanted to build a good shelter, he did not have the spare energy to do so. After considering all the safety factors, Bell¡¯s goal was much clearer. Finally, he saw a slightly protruding rock platform halfway up the mountain forest, and there was a space below. Although it was not big, it was enough to accommodate Bell. He found some dead branches and quickly completed the construction of the shelter. Fortunately, Bell was only eight years old and not too tall. Under this stone platform that was not wide, he could actually stand up straight. Bell felt his eyelids begin to close. But he could not sleep yet. Once he fell asleep in this situation, it would be difficult for him to wake up later. When he woke up, his mental state would be extremely bad. Because he had no food intake to replenish his energy, sleeping would not restore a lot of his stamina. He gathered some firewood and built a fire. ¡°Alright, everyone. We have to hurry and start a fire. I¡¯m already famished, but this time, I don¡¯t plan on drilling wood to start a fire. It¡¯s too slow. I will teach everyone a new way to start a fire. It can let us start a fire quickly. ¡± Bell sat cross-legged on the ground and casually picked two branches from the pile of dead branches he had found earlier, bringing them to the camera. ¡°Actually, this fire plow friction fire is very similar to the fire saw method I taught everyone. It can even be said to be a new form of it. The difference is that the materials used are different. But like the method of using a fire saw, the efficiency of using fire plow friction fire is also very high. ¡°When there is no effective way to start a fire, the fire plow¡¯s efficiency is much higher than drilling wood to start a fire or using a flint.¡± ¡°These are the two branches that I have just chosen. Compared to the other branches, one of them is very hard, and the other is not completely dried. It also has some toughness.¡± I will make a shallow groove in a stick with the dagger.¡± Bell said as he busied himself. He held the dagger in his hand and cut a 5cm groove down the length of a stick, then rubbed quickly against the groove with the tougher branch. ¡°High-speed friction can generate heat. As long as one¡¯s hand is fast enough, a high temperature will be generated within three minutes. When executing this method, you have to pay attention to not let the sweat on your face fall into this groove, or all your previous efforts will be in vain.¡± Time passed slowly. Just as Bell had said, some black fuel gradually piled up in the groove. However, these sawdust were not burning directly. Only a wisp of green smoke rose. Chapter 139 - : Wilderness BBQ Seeing that the sawdust was heated, Bell got up and stuffed the thin twigs into the sawdust. Then, Bell carefully blew at the heated sawdust to strengthen the fire. Under Bell¡¯s control, a ball of fire soon rose. After igniting the thin twigs in his hand, he added two sticks of firewood and the fire soon burned brightly in the silent wilderness. After doing all this, Bell looked at the dingo¡¯s corpse. The dagger in his hand turned into an efficient butchering tool. He dug out the innards, and also skinned the dingo. ¡°Actually, the fur of wild dogs and rabbits are very easy to peel. Because they live in the wild, they need to create a layer of fat under the skin. We just need to cut off the layer of fat with the dagger to peel off the entire skin.¡± Bell¡¯s actions were proficient. He did not look like a wilderness survivalist. Instead, he looked like a hunter who had been doing this for many years. ¡°Unfortunately, this wild dog is too small. Its fur is not of much use to us.¡± He rolled up the innards and fur, and buried them away from the shelter. Although there were no large hunting animals here, it was better to be safe than sorry. Who knew if a large number of dingoes would come running here because of the smell. Bell still wanted to sleep well, and was unwilling to waste time. The wild dog was very thin, and after emptying its innards, it weighed about eight kilograms. Other than some bones and the inedible dog head, there was less than 4 kilograms of edible meat left. The audience in the live-stream couldn¡¯t help but complain. ¡°F*ck, it looked quite big earlier. Why is there only so little?¡± ¡°Hehe, fortunately, Bell is underage. If it were me, I might not even be able to have a full meal.¡± ¡°I wonder if the taste of wild dogs is any different from ordinary dogs. Will it taste better because they are more active?¡± ¡°You can look at how different the taste is between a wild boar and a domesticated pig.¡± Dogs were originally sold for consumption, so everyone was able to accept it. Bell sharpened a wooden stick and put the remaining wild dog meat on the stick, then placed it beside the fire and roasted it. The wild dog¡¯s flesh had some fat, and it gradually emitted cracking sounds. The sound was tempting. Bell used this time to take off his jacket and examine his injuries. Although the leap of faith looked cool, with the ten-meter distance and the impact, Bell felt like his lungs were about to explode. In the wild, even the slightest injury could be fatal. Therefore, he had to examine it immediately and deal with it. For example, bone dislocation could affect the hunt greatly. After a careful examination, he found that there was nothing wrong with his body, other than a slight pain on his chest area when he touched it. Bell frowned. Feeling pain was not a good news. However, after breathing deeply a few times, he did not feel any discomfort and heaved a sigh of relief. ¡°Looks like my ribs are not broken. That¡¯s good news.¡± Bell estimated that with his current physical condition, the pain should be reduced after a night of sleep. As for the bruises on the muscles, there was no need to pay too much attention. As long as there was no internal bleeding, the body would naturally recover. After checking his body and finding no abnormalities, Bell began to roast the meat in peace and prepared his dinner. It was time to reward himself. The smell of meat made Bell swallow subconsciously. After confirming that the outside was cooked, Bell was in no mood to wait anymore. The dagger in his hand turned into a table knife as he cut off a piece of meat and stuffed it into his mouth. Bell chewed hard, his expression unreadable. The audience in the live-stream looked at Bell with anticipation, as if they wanted to hear his evaluation of the dog meat. Bell smiled bitterly. ¡°The taste is not good. There is no seasoning, and there is no way to remove the stench. When you eat it, there is an extremely thick smell of blood. If I had a choice, I would prefer to eat the spider legs from last night. ¡± However, although he said that, Bell¡¯s actions were not slow at all. He cut off another piece and stuffed it into his mouth. It looked a little funny, and what he said seemed like a joke. ¡°Host, since it¡¯s not tasty, why don¡¯t you slow down?¡± ¡°Haha, with the host like this, I can¡¯t tell if he¡¯s telling the truth or not.¡± Seeing the comments on the live-stream, Bell shook his head. ¡°I¡¯m telling the truth. It¡¯s indeed not delicious, but this is the wilderness. Considering how we have no other food options, it can be considered a top delicacy. It can replenish enough proteins for me. In such an environment, even if there was a slug, as long as it can replenish your nutrition, you have to endure the discomfort and swallow it. Because everything is insignificant in front of your own life. ¡± ¡°Wilderness survival and enjoyment are never meant to be together. The only thing you can pursue here is survival. ¡± Bell tore off the roasted wild dog meat like a wild beast. It looked like he was eating some top-notch barbecue. But in fact, only Bell knew the taste. This ravenous appearance made the audience in the live-stream swallow their saliva even though they had just eaten. It couldn¡¯t be helped. It looked too appetizing. But combined with what Bell had said earlier, it made their hearts ache. ¡°Sigh, it¡¯s really hard to imagine how the host came into contact with these things at such a young age.¡± ¡°Everyone, listen to me. Bell¡¯s fan club is about to form a second group. If you¡¯re interested, you can add my QQ.¡± ¡°Let¡¯s support the host together.¡± ¡°Add me!¡± ¡°There¡¯s finally a new group? Looks like I can finally join it.¡± ¡°You guys are too slow. I have already joined Bell¡¯s company.¡± ¡°Bell¡¯s company is already established. We welcome everyone¡¯s support.¡± Chapter 140 - Another Draw, Frost Bloodline Bell wolfed down the remaining dog meat. With food to replenish his energy, Bell finally recovered. He touched his stomach in satisfaction and heaved a sigh of relief. The sky was gradually turning dark. Bell sat beside the fire and chatted with the audience. ¡°I have to say, compared to before, today¡¯s activity was a little more exciting. But no matter what, we survived. We had a full meal and made our shelter. I am looking forward to tomorrow¡¯s challenges. I believe I will return to the civilized world soon. ¡± ¡°The live broadcast for today will end here. I need to have a good sleep to replenish my energy. See you tomorrow.¡± Knowing that Bell was going to rest, the audience in the live-stream also left. However, there were also some who remained in the live-stream to support Bell¡¯s popularity, even though they knew that Bell was no longer doing the live-stream. These remaining fans were dozens of times more than some fake fans of some fraudulent outdoor streamers. The wilderness theme had almost become Bell¡¯s personal show. Other than a few famous streamers, few could compare with Bell¡¯s popularity. Lying in his shelter, Bell did not sleep immediately. Instead, he opened his system. The popularity score he had accumulated had already reached nearly 6,000. Perhaps he could try the lucky draw function that the system had activated earlier. After all, he had enough points now. He had obtained the Wilderness Hunter skill when he tried the draw given by the system. He did not know what he would gain from this attempt. [Ding! Host, do you want to start the lucky draw?] The system¡¯s voice sounded. Looking at the awards on the roulette, Bell gritted his teeth. ¡°Yes, draw.¡± With a thought, the needle started moving. The needle spun quickly and finally slowed down. The needle was pointing at a light blue area. Bell was puzzled. What did this light blue represent? The system¡¯s voice suddenly sounded. [Ding! Congratulations, host, you have received a special reward.] Bell was stunned. Then, he couldn¡¯t help but smile. ¡°Looks like my luck today is really good.¡± There was less than 5% chance to draw the special reward. The lower the probability, the greater the reward. Bell was no longer sleepy. He quickly looked at his stats list to see what reward he had obtained. Soon, the character interface column appeared. Name: Bell Age: 8 Height: 130 cm Strength: 9 Physique: 10 Endurance: 12 Agility: 11 1 (The average stats of an adult is 10.) Skill: Wilderness Hunter (Active skill) After using this skill, all attributes increase by 20%. Frost Bloodline (Passive skill) With this skill, you will have endurance that far exceeds ordinary people and extreme resistance to cold. Seeing the additional skill in his skill column, Bell finally understood what he had obtained. Unlike the previous Wilderness Hunter which was an active skill, he had obtained a passive skill. Its main use was to increase his endurance. Moreover, Bell noticed something else. Compared to the previous time, his attributes had clearly increased. He was infinitely close to the physique of an adult, but he was still lacking in strength by one point. As for endurance and agility, they had already surpassed ordinary adults. Bell clicked his tongue. It was quite a good skill. Being able to withstand the cold was a good advantage. At least in some low-temperature areas, he could move more freely. Moreover, endurance represented the quality and durability of the body. He could run or move for a longer time and would not be exhausted quickly. It was not bad. Moreover, what interested Bell the most was that this skill¡¯s effect would be more obvious as his physique improved. It was not a fixed number, and could be considered quite a rare skill. After consuming a wave of popularity, Bell felt relieved. He closed his eyes and slowly fell asleep. In Scarlett Johansson¡¯s villa in Shanghai, Keira and the others were busy. Because of Bell¡¯s leap of faith earlier, his reputation increased by a huge margin. Some professional national coaches even found the company and asked if Bell was interested in participating in training. This was natural, since Bell showed such potential at such a young age. However, since Bell did not agree, Scarlett could only push this matter aside. The other party seemed to be very regretful about this. At the same time, this matter caused Bell¡¯s reputation to increase. Many streamers joined the platform because of this. In such a short time, Bell¡¯s company that had just been established had streamers and viewership no less than a medium-sized platform. It was even moving closer to the large-sized platforms. It could be said that this was all thanks to Bell¡¯s leap of faith. However, this also caused a problem. Bell¡¯s company system was not perfected yet. Scarlett and the others were caught off guard by Bell¡¯s popularity. They had no choice but to start working. These female celebrities became company employees, moving from being bosses to service staff. Li Ziqi and Lin Xiaoxiao also came over to help. After all, the two of them were shareholders too. It was impossible for them to not do anything. After seeing Bell¡¯s potential, the Youtube platform behind Li Ziqi decided to support and pursue cooperation. But this was all a matter in the future. Bell had no idea about this. All the major platforms were arranging reports on Bell. The various platforms were trying their best to find traces of Bell, wanting to do an interview. The various media outlets both domestically and overseas also took action. And the host in question, Bell, was sleeping soundly in the wilderness. Chapter 141 - Deadly Venom At the same time, because Bell¡¯s company had not been established for long, some video production platforms had recorded and uploaded Bell¡¯s videos. The effect was beyond expectations. This allowed everyone to see the business opportunity. All the major platforms began to seek Bell¡¯s cooperation, hoping to get the rights to the videos. Even if they could not get the rights, at the very least, they could share it and get a share of the profits. After all, no one would complain about having too much money. Early in the morning, the large watershed was covered in white fog. From the foot of the mountain, they could only see till the middle of the mountain. The other areas were covered in clouds. In the shelter, Bell slowly opened his eyes. Unlike before, with the Frost Bloodline, Bell did not feel much cold when he woke up. Some unknown birds were constantly chirping and disturbing him. However, the fresh air improved his mood. It also suppressed the grumpiness due to the poor sleep. He walked out of the shelter and moved his limbs. The injuries from the long-distance jump yesterday were almost healed. Even Bell was surprised. ¡°Looks like endurance can increase my recovery ability as well. This is good news.¡± Seeing that Bell was awake, the live-stream became active again. The first thing Bell did when he woke up was to cover the remaining ashes with soil. Looking at the increasing number of viewers in the live-stream, Bell interacted. ¡°Alright, everyone. Today is the third day since we came to this wilderness. Up to now, I am still doing quite well, but this does not mean that this wilderness survival is very simple. On the contrary, the wilderness survival will truly begin from today onwards. Because we are now in the middle of the Great Dividing Range. If we continue forward toward the east coast, the temperature will continue to increase, reaching even 28 ¡ãC. This hot and humid area is a paradise for cold water animals. Saltwater crocodiles, venomous snakes, and giant lizards that are unique to Australia will appear before us. ¡± ¡°Compared to the dingoes, they are more dangerous threats.¡± ¡°Let¡¯s get ready and take a look at these terrifying hunters.¡± The audience in the live-stream couldn¡¯t help but be excited when they heard Bell¡¯s introduction. ¡°All the best host, we believe in you!¡± ¡°Bell is awesome!¡± Glancing at the comments on the screen, Bell smiled and said nothing else. He checked his items and confirmed that he had not lost the dagger or canteen. Then, he continued walking down. The grass in the valley was somewhat soft. Coupled with the faint mist, it was a beautiful scene that intoxicated people. As the sun rose higher, the fog in the valley began to dissipate. Bell kept moving forward. Not far ahead, a large rainforest appeared in front of everyone. The temperature was not as gentle as before when it was only 18 ¡ãC. It was not even noon, but the temperature had already reached close to 30 degrees Celsius. It could be said to be unbearable heat. After walking for a while, Bell felt that it was too hot and had to stop to rest. He took off his jacket and wiped the sweat from his forehead. ¡°Maybe if I say this now, you won¡¯t understand, but if you were here, you would know how hot this place is. My clothes are already drenched in sweat. It¡¯s hard to imagine that the temperature here was less than 20 ¡ãC yesterday. ¡± ¡°I¡¯ve already introduced this to everyone. This can be considered a characteristic of Australia¡¯s watershed. The 3,000-kilometer-long mountain range is divided into three climates. North is temperate climate, the central region is sub-temperate, and the east, which is also our current location, has a standard tropical climate. Because this place was affected by the equator, the temperature was high and there was a lot of rain. It can be said to be a contradictory zone. ¡± Bell took off his jacket and tied it around his waist. ¡°I remember telling everyone in the desert that the hotter the weather, the more you can¡¯t take off your outerwear. You are probably surprised to see me take off my jacket. It¡¯s completely contrary to what I said before.¡± ¡°But don¡¯t be anxious. I can explain to you. Although the temperature here is not as high as the desert, it is about the same. However, we can still take off our outerwear to dissipate the heat. The reason is that the air here is very moist. The surrounding air is completely saturated with humidity. In addition, there is no strong wind, so our sweat will not quickly dissipate. This also saves us from dehydration. But at the same time, because the sweat is unable to vaporize, it absorbs a large amount of heat, making it impossible for the surface of the body to cool down.¡± ¡°In a desert environment, in such a hot and dry place, we can drink water to ensure our survival, but drinking water here is useless. We have to think of a way to lower our body temperature. Once our body temperature is too high, it will cause muscle spasms and heat exhaustion. When that happens, we will really be in danger.¡± Bell walked deeper into the forest. ¡°This is the territory of saltwater crocodiles and venomous snakes, so we have to be careful.¡± Although he was not in peak condition, Bell still perked up. After all, this concerned his life. He climbed a tree and carefully observed his surroundings. Eucalyptus was the most widely distributed plant in Australia. Such trees were all over this tropical forest area. Unfortunately, other than blocking his vision, it had no other use right now. ¡°Wait, be silent!¡± Suddenly, Bell seemed to have noticed something and quickly stopped. His pupils constricted, and he became nervous. Everyone was shocked when they heard Bell¡¯s voice and looked at the screen. About three meters in front of Bell, a two-meter-long brown snake was hissing, as if it would attack him if he took a step closer. However, everyone was puzzled. This snake did not look like a colorful venomous snake. It should not be a threat. Bell should not be so nervous. But they saw Bell staring nervously at the snake. ¡°We might be in trouble this time.¡± ¡°This is an eastern brown snake, the second most venomous snake in the world.¡± Chapter 142 - Macadamia The audience in the live-stream became nervous. The seemingly harmless snake was actually so venomous. Knowing that this snake was the second most venomous snake in the world, everyone was fearful. At the same time, they were worried for Bell. On the screen, Bell stood still and did not dare to move. He was afraid of agitating this guy. ¡°Eastern brown snake. Ranked second in terms of toxic snakes in the world, second only to the inland taipan snakes. This kind of venomous snake is widely distributed in various regions. Because of this, the number of people who have died from the venom of eastern brown snakes is the highest. ¡± ¡°This eastern brown snake in front of us has not even fully grown. It can grow up to nearly three meters. At the same time, it is also a natural enemy of the inland taipan. Smaller taipan snakes are usually unable to escape the fate of being eaten when they encounter eastern brown snakes. We have to be careful not to provoke it. Typically, snakes will attack humans only when they are agitated or frightened. When they confirm that you are not a danger, they will naturally choose to leave.¡± Bell carefully retreated. His actions were as slow as possible, not making too much noise. Among the snakes in the entire Australian continent, the overlord position of the eastern brown snake was unquestionable. Not only did it have a body that could crush other snakes, but it also had lethal venom. In fact, they even ate other snakes. Very few creatures had the strength to provoke this dangerous guy. As Bell kept retreating, the eastern brown snake seemed to feel that the danger was gradually resolved. It stopped looking at Bell and entered the grass again. The dangerous snake retreated, and Bell couldn¡¯t help but sigh in relief. Seeing that the danger was over, the audience also heaved a sigh of relief. ¡°F*ck, I was really shocked.¡± ¡°The program almost ended early.¡± ¡°I think that the venomous snake was more flustered.¡± ¡°Fortunately, it ran fast; otherwise, Bell would have had an extra meal tonight.¡± ¡°Eastern brown snake: Running after showing off. How exciting.¡± In the live-stream, various comments kept floating past. However, Bell did not let down his guard because of the teasing of the people in the live-stream. The eastern brown snake had appeared in this area. In other words, he had arrived at the territory of these venomous snakes and beasts. He had to focus. Since there was one, another might appear too. Eastern brown snakes were not small, and their fangs were very large. When they bite, their fangs would stab into the internal parts of the muscle tissue. Even with serum, if it was not injected in a short time, the person would be in great danger. This was also the reason why the mortality rate of their bites was so high. Although the mortality rate of snake bites was directly related to their toxicity, it was not the whole reason. For example, although the inland taipan snake was recognized as the most venomous snake in the world, it was small in size and had short fangs. Even if the prey was bitten, there would not be much venom released. Fatal symptoms would only show after 15 to 30 minutes. When the danger to humans was compared, the king cobra was the greatest threat. In terms of toxicity, the king cobra was far less venomous than inland taipan. But the main point was that the king cobra was a lot bigger and had longer fangs. Every time it bit its prey, the king cobra could inject over 500 milligrams of venom into its prey. This venom was enough to kill a person within 5 minutes. It was also because of this that humans were more familiar with the name of king cobra because its danger to humans was the greatest among all the snakes. He picked up a wooden stick and trimmed it with a dagger. He used the stick to push aside the grass before moving forward. After all, what had happened earlier had given him a wake-up call. Three meters was enough for that snake to attack. Fortunately, after encountering the eastern brown snake, Bell did not encounter other venomous snakes. His top priority now was to cool his body. The best way was to find a body of water. Whether it was a stream or a pool, it could restore his body temperature to normal. Suddenly, Bell¡¯s eyes lit up. Not far in front of him was a fruit tree that was not tall. Bell quickly walked forward. The tree was less than four meters tall. There were many thumb-sized fruits on the tree. Bell took one and showed it to the camera. ¡°Look what I found. This is a macadamia which belongs to the flowering plant family Proteaceae. Macadamia nuts are different from other fruits. Its fruits are rich in oil and proteins. Most importantly, these things don¡¯t spoil easily. ¡°Since we¡¯ve discovered it, we naturally can¡¯t miss it. We have to pick as much as possible to use as our food for the next few days.¡± Bell did not waste any time. He climbed up the tree trunk. The tree was not tall, so he climbed it in a few steps. Sitting on a thick tree branch, Bell reached out and plucked a macadamia nut. These nuts were slightly larger than the longan, and their skin was a common green. After cutting the brown shell open with the dagger, the exposed white part was the edible fruit. Bell ate the fruit, but it was not as sweet as ordinary fruits. In comparison, this thing was a little oily. ¡°I think it might be because these nuts are not completely ripe, so there is no special taste, but the bite just now felt like I had bitten a blob of flour soaked in oil. Fortunately, it can provide me with enough proteins. Otherwise, I really don¡¯t want to eat this. ¡± Bell explained carefully to the audience in the live-stream. However, just as he was about to continue plucking the fruits, a few comments in the live-stream attracted Bell¡¯s attention. ¡°Host, run quickly. There¡¯s a snake above your head.¡± ¡°Dodge, it¡¯s dangerous!¡± Seeing these comments, Bell realized that something was wrong. He turned his head carefully and looked out of the corner of his eye. There was really a meter-long snake coiled less than a meter above his head. Chapter 143 - Water Source Seeing the appearance of the snake, Bell heaved a sigh of relief. Bell stood up and quickly grabbed the snake. This snake also wrapped its body around Bell¡¯s arm. Unfortunately, it was useless. Bell smiled as he showed the snake to the camera. ¡°Looks like our luck is really good. Not only did we encounter a nut tree, but we also encountered this brown tree snake. Our dinner is settled.¡± Seeing how ferociously Bell grabbed the snake with his bare hands, the audience in the live-stream swallowed their saliva. ¡°We shouldn¡¯t remind Bell next time. Let¡¯s just warn the snake instead.¡± ¡°Is it possible that this snake is non-toxic?¡± Everyone discussed. ¡°Alright, there¡¯s no need to guess. This is a brown tree snake. It¡¯s a venomous snake unlike what you are guessing. However, the venom of this snake is not very harmful to adults. But if you were to find such a snake in places like the orchard, it is best to capture it. This snake is harmful to the orchards as it hunts a large number of birds.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t be fooled by its small size. In a year, they can make an entire forest of birds disappear.¡± Bell took out his dagger and cut off the snake¡¯s head. The brown tree snake that had been struggling in Bell¡¯s hand lost its head and quickly fell. He bled the snake and stuffed it into his backpack. After doing all this, Bell clapped his hands, looking so calm as if he had just done an insignificant thing. ¡°I¡¯m starting to pity this snake.¡± ¡°It was still too young, unlike the previous one.¡± ¡°It failed to posture.¡± Bell ignored the trolls in the live-stream. After gathering the nuts, Bell jumped down from the tree. ¡°I told you that my luck has always been good. Now, with these nuts and this snake, our food is settled. All we have to do is search for water. ¡°To be honest, I am having difficulty breathing. This is a clear sign of human body temperature imbalance.¡± Bell continued moving forward. From time to time, he would interact with the audience in the live-stream. When he saw some good questions on the screen, he would patiently explain. For example, the new comment asked Bell how to find a water source in this environment. Bell answered patiently. ¡°Actually, it¡¯s not that difficult to find a water source in this environment. In short, it¡¯s best to use the three methods I mentioned before. Observing the terrain, using the tracks of the surrounding animals and using plants to determine the direction of the water source. But these approaches have to be modified by the region. If you continue to use the same method in this Australian tropical rainforest, you might get lost here. It is impossible to judge based on the footprints of the animals. Most of the animals here were reptiles and they have high heat resistance. Moreover, a large portion of them can absorb water from the air through the skin, and they can survive for a long time even without water. As for the last method to obtain water through food, I can only regretfully tell everyone that this method still won¡¯t work. Because this is a tropical rainforest, there is no lack of water. It rains frequently. There is even a large amount of water in the air that can be absorbed. This also means that many plants that need to live beside water do not even need to rely on the water source to survive here. ¡± The audience finally realized the difficulty of this matter. Bell advanced for some time. Bell finally heard the sound of running water. Although he had yet to see the water source, he felt much more at ease. Even his body temperature seemed to drop. His heart was calm and cool. He quickened his pace and rushed towards the sound of water. In less than ten minutes, a stream appeared in front of Bell. However, after seeing the stream, Bell did not jump down immediately. Instead, he carefully pushed aside the bushes in front of him and said. ¡°I know that under normal circumstances, people who are thirsty or have a high temperature will be very excited when they see a water source. But this is not the city. It¡¯s the wilderness, so we have to be careful. It is difficult to guarantee that there will not be saltwater crocodiles or freshwater crocodiles inside. After all, they usually like to stay in lakes and streams. ¡± As he spoke, Bell had already pushed aside the bushes in front of him. He saw that the stream was less than a meter wide. Although it was small, it made Bell sigh in relief. Such a large stream could not accommodate creatures like crocodiles. In other words, this stream was safe. After knowing this information, Bell rushed into the stream eagerly. The cool water flowed past his body, and Bell heaved a sigh of relief. From the expression on his face, the audience knew that Bell was definitely very comfortable. The stream was not deep, only about half a meter. Compared to Bell¡¯s height, it was just right. After soaking in the water for a few minutes, he wiped his face and the stuffy feeling disappeared. ¡°I have to say, it¡¯s really nice to take a bath in this cold stream in the heat. I felt like I was in a bamboo steamer earlier. I was almost cooked. ¡± ¡°Now that my mind is refreshed, I have to plan my following route.¡± Bell was sitting in the stream, thinking. ¡°In this dense rainforest, there are many venomous snakes and spiders. The plants here are too dense, our vision will be blocked. In order to ensure our safety, we can¡¯t move too quickly. At the current speed, covering ten kilometers a day is already considered not bad. ¡± With that, Bell observed the stream below him. ¡°This stream seems to be heading in the same direction as us. In that case, we can follow it up for a while. While ensuring our water source, it can also reduce temperature. Most importantly, there are no bushes in the stream that block our vision. We can reduce the chances of encountering venomous snakes and spiders.¡± ¡°After all, you guys saw it just now. In just a short while, we encountered two venomous snakes.¡± Chapter 144 - Cliff Diving Bell followed the stream. His speed was indeed much faster. In less than half an hour, the distance he covered was even further than the two hours he walked in the forest. He looked up again and saw that the sun was gradually sinking. He was in the forest area. As the sun set, the light was not as abundant as before, and it became slightly darker. Although the sun had not completely set, it was already starting to turn dark in the dense forest. At the same time, the rainforest¡¯s phenomenon was displayed for the first time. Almost without any warning, it began to rain. Wiping the rain from his face, Bell smiled and said, ¡°The rain feels quite comfortable. It¡¯s refreshing.¡± In this hot weather, rain did not seem to be a bad thing. At least, that was what Bell thought. But as he continued forward, Bell could not laugh anymore. Because not far ahead, the path actually ended in a cliff. The small stream flowed down the cliff and formed a waterfall. A lake was formed below. Walking to the edge of the cliff, Bell looked down and found that he was nearly 30 meters away from the lake. Then, Bell looked around. He wanted to see if he could find some place to climb or use as a buffer. Unfortunately, other than moss, there were only weeds on the steep cliff. It was impossible to use them as leverage. Bell sat on the ground in disappointment. ¡°Everyone, I have bad news. We now have two options. If we want to continue, we can choose to take a detour. This will undoubtedly waste a lot of our time, and we might even have to move through a large area of bushes. Or choose to jump into the lake from here.¡± ¡°Both choices have their pros and cons. Although it will take longer to detour, it is safer. Jumping into the lake has a certain risk. If something goes wrong, we might end up staying here forever.¡± Hearing Bell¡¯s words, the audience was also chattering non-stop, each with their own opinions. Bell estimated the distance to the lake from the cliff. ¡°If I remember correctly, the World High Diving Federation recommends people not to dive from 20 meters or higher. In competitions, men generally dive from a height of 23 to 28 meters. Now, it seems like I am about 30 meters away from the lake. The maximum distance will not cross 35 meters. To be honest, I am a little afraid. With my current physique, as long as I don¡¯t directly hit the water, I should be able to withstand the impact. The only problem is that I¡¯m not sure how deep the lake is.¡± ¡°This is very important. If it¡¯s only about a meter deep, not to mention 30 meters tall, even if it¡¯s from 10 meters, there will be an accident.¡± After some thought, Bell stood up and looked around. Then, he locked onto the target. Bell picked up a rock and walked to the edge of the cliff, then let it fall freely toward the center of the lake. Thump. The rock hit the water, causing huge waves. Bell leaned against the cliff and carefully observed the height of the waves. ¡°When you can¡¯t judge the depth of the water, you can throw a stone and try to carefully observe the wave that the stone makes. The higher the water splashes, the deeper the lake is. Although this data can¡¯t be precise, it can be relied on to a certain extent. ¡± ¡°Every step in the wilderness is dangerous. We can¡¯t gamble on luck. This is a very stupid method.¡± ¡°You can¡¯t trust your judgment and thoughts too much. Because without equipment, human judgment is often wrong. For example, don¡¯t think that you can jump into the water once you confirm that the water is deep. At the bottom of this lake in the wild, there are often some protruding stones. This also means that when you jump into the water, you might hit these stones. I don¡¯t need to say what the outcome will be in that situation. At a height of 30 meters, the chances of survival will be less than 10%.¡± The audience in the live-stream lost their confidence when they heard Bell. They did not know if Bell was planning to jump. After all, he made this matter sound so dangerous. No one was willing to see Bell die. But before they could speak, Bell stood up and walked to a nearby tree. Everyone thought that Bell was planning to choose the first method. However, the next second, Bell took out his dagger and began to cut the tree branches. He chose a branch about two meters long and cut five branches before stopping. Many audience members in the live-stream wanted to ask Bell what he was doing, but they did not get a response. Bell only carried the five branches and walked back to the cliff. Bell looked at the spot where he had thrown the stone and threw a tree branch towards the center. The two-meter-long wooden stick sank into the water due to the inertia, and then floated up from the bottom of the lake. It floated on the water and was washed away by the water. Everyone was even more puzzled. But this time, Bell explained to everyone. ¡°We have already thrown a stone to confirm the approximate depth of this lake, but we can¡¯t be completely sure. What we need to do now is to use these wooden sticks to examine the depth of the water. These wooden sticks are two meters long. Since they were able to completely sink into the water, it means that this lake is at least this deep. After a few more tries, we will be able to determine if the approximate depth is safe or not, and if there are any protruding objects. We can only jump down after confirming that it is 100% safe. ¡± After hearing Bell¡¯s explanation, everyone understood the meaning of Bell¡¯s actions. ¡°F*ck, so we can confirm the depth of the pool like this. I really learned something.¡± ¡°Host, you¡¯re so smart. You can always think of a way with the materials around you.¡± ¡°Previous poster, do you think the name ¡®King of the Wilderness¡¯ is for nothing?¡± While everyone was talking, Bell had already thrown the remaining four wooden sticks towards the designated area. Without exception, they all sank into the water and replayed the previous scene. Bell heaved a sigh of relief. Chapter 145 - Flash Flood At the edge of the cliff, Bell stared at the area where he had thrown the wooden sticks. ¡°Okay, I am now prepared to jump into the lake. I want to explain to everyone first. I decided to choose cliff diving because I have a certain level of high altitude jumping technique. If you have not learned the technique, I suggest you take the first path instead of risking your life by diving. The height is at least 30 meters high, so if you cannot reduce the resistance when you hit the water surface, it will be no different from directly falling on the ground. The impact from the water might cause irreversible damage to your internal organs.¡± After confirming that he was going to take the diving path, Bell had already purchased top-notch diving skills from the system. Therefore, Bell was not worried about the technique part. With his physique, he should be able to safely dive. ¡°Alright, it¡¯s time to spread professional knowledge. You have to pay attention to your posture when jumping into water from such a high altitude. It¡¯s okay to fall into the water with your legs and head, but remember to ensure that your body is vertical. Otherwise, the result will be what I said before.¡± Bell took a deep breath and stood on the edge of the cliff, bending his legs. Then, he did a backflip and stabbed into the lake below in a very handsome posture. During the entire fall, Bell tried his best to maintain the balance and stability of his body, and to ensure that his feet were pressed together. Bell was like a needle that stabbed into the water, causing a small splash. After falling into the water, Bell could clearly feel the water pressure on him. Fortunately, his actions were precise enough to reduce the damage to the minimum. The audience in the live-stream was staring at the screen. There was no sound from the water, and everyone held their breaths. Thump. Bell popped out of the water. ¡°That¡¯s a success. This feeling of falling from the sky is really exhilarating. I would like to try again if I have the chance.¡± Seeing that Bell was fine, the audience in the live-stream heaved a sigh of relief. Then, the live-stream was flooded with comments. ¡°F*ck, I bow to the King of the Wilderness.¡± ¡°Bell is awesome!¡± ¡°Coach, I want to learn this.¡± ¡°Friendly reminder, Bell¡¯s actions are done with professional technique. Don¡¯t imitate him. If you hurt yourself, he is not to be held responsible.¡± Bell wiped the water from his face and shook his hair before swimming to the shore. Walking ashore, Bell wrung out his clothes. ¡°Alright, although this jump was dangerous, it did save us a lot of time. Most importantly, our route follows this stream. To be honest, I¡¯m a little in love with this stream. It seems like it can bring me luck.¡± Bell said half-jokingly. He walked carefully along the stream. Time passed slowly, and the rain kept falling on Bell. Bell frowned. Previously, it was only a light rain, but it seemed to be getting stronger. He looked back at the stream. Bell shook his head and walked up helplessly. ¡°I can feel the rain becoming heavier and heavier. I believe you saw it just now. The water flow in the stream is clearly greater than before.¡± We can¡¯t continue moving like this. We have to quickly move to higher terrain. If the rain continues like this, it might cause a flash flood. This stream is the best place for the flood to discharge. If I am washed away by the flood, I might really have to say goodbye to you all.¡± Bell looked around and chose a higher terrain forest area. He had not observed carefully before, but now, Bell realized that the two sides of the stream had probably been washed by the flash flood before . Broken tree roots could be seen on both sides. Of course, this would not happen under normal circumstances. This meant that this area was probably a natural flood site. The rain made the soil on the slope very slippery. Fortunately, with the help of these tree roots, Bell climbed up. It took a lot of effort for Bell to climb up the slope. He leaned against the slope and breathed heavily. ¡°Although we didn¡¯t move a lot of distance, we have already consumed a lot of energy.¡± ¡°The main reason is that this place is too slippery. There is no leverage at all.¡± ¡°Although the roots of the trees can help us, because of the years of being eroded, many of them only stick to the surface and not take root too deeply.¡± ¡°Fortunately, we¡¯re already here.¡± He stood up and looked back at the waterfall and stream. Bell realized that the current flow of the waterfall was more than double that of before, and it was getting faster. This meant that the water level in the stream was increasing. He turned the camera to the waterfall and the stream. ¡°Can you see that? In just ten minutes, the amount of water in the waterfall and stream has doubled. Moreover, the flow rate has increased greatly. In a flash flood, even if the water source is only 30 centimeters deep, it will be difficult for a person to maintain a standing posture. Once the water depth reaches 60cm, it can flush away a small car. Fortunately, we noticed it early. Otherwise, we would be in deep trouble.¡± The rain in the tropical rainforest was very abundant. It would rain frequently, so Bell did not know how long this rain would last. However, this rain was not all bad. At least, no matter where it was, the rain would cause the surrounding temperature to decrease. This made Bell feel less uncomfortable. It was getting dark. While moving through the forest, Bell was paying attention to any suitable materials and places that could be used as the shelter. In such a wild forest, Bell would never dare to sleep on the ground. Disregarding the large beasts, the snakes, insects, rats, and ants were enough to make him suffer. In addition, if the rain fell on him for the whole night, he would probably fall sick. ¡°The most important thing now is to find a shelter. It is getting dark. We can¡¯t sleep in the wild.¡± ¡°I don¡¯t want to be bitten by venomous snakes.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t think I¡¯m joking. This kind of thing is not uncommon in Australia. The cases of people being bitten by venomous snakes in their sleep amount to more than half the total.¡± ¡°Perhaps some people will wonder why the snakes attack the sleeping people when they clearly don¡¯t pose any threat. I can only say that this might be their nature.¡± Chapter 146 - Rainy Night ¡°Don¡¯t think that I¡¯m exaggerating. These eastern brown snakes are very irascible. Even if there is no danger, they can still attack you.¡± Our luck was pretty good earlier, but we have to stay far away from the ground in this area. I don¡¯t want to be bitten by these guys while sleeping. ¡± As time passed, the sky began to darken. The forest would probably turn dark in less than half an hour, and it would be difficult to see properly with naked eyes. Bell was pressed for time and did not have much time to find a suitable shelter. He could only go for a thick eucalyptus tree. ¡°I was planning to build a shelter, but time is not on my side. Fortunately, this tree is not bad. It is lush and can block the rain and wind. It will have to do for the night. In such a tropical rainforest, when there is no light source at night, especially when it is raining, you should not walk at night. Because once you sleep and fall into the flood, there will really be no hope. ¡± The tree was quite thick. However, after being drenched by the rain, it was quite slippery. Bell tried a few times but failed to climb it. Bell frowned and said, ¡°This tree trunk is too slippery. There is nothing to use as leverage. We have to think of another way. I don¡¯t want to sleep on the ground.¡± After a moment of thought, Bell¡¯s eyes suddenly lit up. He found a tree branch on the ground and cut it with his dagger. After a while, the tree branch was cut into seven wooden sticks that were about ten centimeters long. He used the dagger to sharpen the wooden sticks. Then, he picked up a stone. Bell nailed the sharp wooden sticks to the tree trunks like nails. After doing all this, he nodded in satisfaction. ¡°That¡¯s right. Fortunately, I thought of a way. Because the eucalyptus trees have fast growth, it is not as dense as other trees. Most of the interior is filled with water, and the wood is delicate. It is similar to the baobab trees. Therefore, we can nail the trunk with some hard wooden sticks, and we will have a place to stay.¡± Leaning against the tree, Bell heaved a sigh of relief. He took out the brown tree snake he had killed and skinned it. He took out its innards, but had no way to start a fire. It was not realistic to start a fire out of thin air in this rain. He could only eat it raw. Bell said while chewing, ¡°Tonight, we have to make do with this tree. Fortunately, this tree is still quite lush. It can block the rain and prevent us from getting wet.¡± ¡°The effect is not that good, but it¡¯s better than nothing.¡± Bell waved the snake meat in front of the camera. The slippery snake corpse and the blood were really terrifying. ¡°This snake is quite small, so its bones are not as sharp and hard as the large snake¡¯s. It can be chewed directly, but the taste is indescribable.¡± The brown tree snake in Bell¡¯s hand was a meter long, but it was quite thin. After removing the skin and internal organs, the flesh was about the width of a thumb. In just a short while, Bell finished the entire snake. He ate fast because it tasted really bad, but in order to replenish his nutrition, he had to ignore the taste and eat the snake. Bell wiped the rain from his face and smiled at the camera. ¡°Alright, everyone, today¡¯s stream ends here. I hope that when I wake up tomorrow, this rain will have stopped.¡± Because he could not move at night, Bell did not plan to continue wasting time. Bell hung his backpack on a branch and tied it to his arm to hold him to the tree. He had to do this. Humans would inevitably move when sleeping. Although this tree trunk looked relatively thick, if he turned around, he would fall down. If he was unlucky and broke his bones, it would be difficult to continue the recording. After doing that, Bell placed his jacket above his head like a rain shed. The damp feeling made him feel very uncomfortable. Although he wanted to sleep, he could not do so for a while. He could only sigh and close his eyes to conserve his energy. Only after a long while did he fall asleep. The birds in the tropical rainforest were clearly more lively than other places. He took off his jacket and wondered when the rain had stopped yesterday. Few rays of sunlight shone through the lush leaves, making the scene look quite refreshing. Shaking his head, Bell forced himself to focus and looked at the live-stream. Because Bell did not do anything at night, and the screen was dark, the number of people in the live-stream decreased greatly. He tried to get up and felt a numbing sensation from his back. It made sense. It would be strange if he was not numb after sleeping in such a weird position. Seeing Bell move, the audience in the live-stream quickly surged in large numbers. Seeing that these people were so well-informed and came on time, he smiled. ¡°Alright, everyone, good morning. I had a not too relaxing sleep. To be honest, although I ended the broadcast early, my sleep time was quite short. Fortunately, we should be able to walk out of this huge divide soon. As long as we leave this place, everything will be fine.¡± Bell rummaged in his bag for a while and took out some macadamia nuts. Most of these nuts had spoiled due to the water. Fortunately, some were still in good condition. After eating all the remaining food, Bell stood up. ¡°Alright, everyone, breakfast is settled. Let¡¯s hurry up and set off. I don¡¯t want to stay here a minute longer.¡± With that, Bell began to walk out of the tropical rainforest. The number of people in the live-stream gradually increased. The large number of audience made the atmosphere in the live-stream liven up. Chapter 147 - Gathering Bamboo, Walking Out of the Rainforest Walking through the tropical rainforest, Bell remained on high alert. After all, in this situation, if he let go of his vigilance, he might die on the spot in the next second. At this moment, Bell was already very close to the edge of the large divide¡¯s southeast area. It would not be long before he could escape from this land of death. Although he was a little hungry, he still hoped to walk out of this rainforest before nightfall. After all, he did not want to experience last night again. Fortunately, other than hunger and lack of sleep, everything was fine. This might also be related to Bell¡¯s physique. At the very least, there were no signs of him catching a cold. Speaking of which, it was also thanks to the brown tree snake and the nuts he had gathered yesterday that his nutrition requirement was satisfied for the moment. Otherwise, he might not have been able to hold on for so long. ¡°Our goal today is to walk out of this rainforest. I really don¡¯t want to stay here because in this environment, you have to be vigilant all the time. A moment of carelessness can result in fatal danger. I have set a small goal for myself tonight. I¡¯ll build a shelter and have a good sleep. ¡± Because of this goal, Bell decided to give up on searching for food. Of course, if he passed by something, he would gather it or eat it to replenish himself. As time passed, the sun gradually rose to the peak, and the temperature started rising. Because of the rain yesterday, the forest was very stuffy and hot. The feeling of walking in a steamer appeared again. After traveling for the entire morning, Bell could see the light coming from outside the dense tropical rainforest. The field of vision was wide, proving that he was near the edge of the tropical rainforest. After all, he could see no more than five meters away when he was in the forest yesterday. His vision would be blocked by dense foliage. With such a discovery, Bell was relieved. He knew that he was very close to the edge of the tropical rainforest. After moving for a while, the light became clearer. The heavy stone in Bell¡¯s heart finally fell. ¡°Alright, everyone, it looks like we succeeded. Through our vision, we can confirm that we have arrived at the edge of the tropical rainforest. We can walk out of this dangerous place by afternoon. ¡± Suddenly, Bell stopped and looked ahead. Then, he quickened his pace. There was a small bunch of bamboo in front. There seemed to be more than ten bamboos. Bamboo was very rare in such a place. He did not expect to encounter them here. Knocking on the thick bamboo, Bell smiled. ¡°Remember what I told everyone? In the wild, bamboo is really helpful to people. Besides being useful for building a shelter, they can also be used to get water. I¡¯m really thirsty right now. Let¡¯s hydrate ourselves first and then use these bamboo to see if we can build a shelter or create a trap.¡± Bell took out his dagger and knocked on every bamboo joint like in the past. While doing this, he did not forget to explain his actions to everyone. ¡°I believe the audience who have watched my program knows what I¡¯m doing. That¡¯s right, I¡¯m searching for the section of the bamboo that has a large amount of freshwater. When in the wild, like in this tropical rainforest, bamboo absorb large amounts of water from the soil every day and store it in their bodies. Over time, they would be like a water vat. The bamboo sections without water sound empty. And those with water would make muffled sounds. ¡± Bell did not stop while explaining. Suddenly, the bamboo section he knocked on emitted a different sound. ¡°Looks like we¡¯ve found it.¡± Bell picked up a sturdy wooden stick from the ground and knocked it on the bamboo to make a small hole. He took out the wooden stick and clear water flowed out. Bell quickly moved his mouth to the bamboo and drank the fresh water. There was not much water in the bamboo, and Bell sucked it dry within a short while. Bell looked at the comments in the live-stream and smiled. ¡°I know what some of the new audience are worried about. You are wondering if this water is safe to drink. After all, we can¡¯t use this method on all the bamboo. ¡°But I can guarantee you that you can rest assured about this. The water is definitely safe. In fact, the water stored in the bamboo is much cleaner than other water sources in the wilderness.¡± ¡°There¡¯s not enough water in one bamboo. Let¡¯s find some more.¡± After using three bamboo to replenish the water, Bell looked around and found some bamboo leaves on the ground. After touching them, they seemed to be dry which was not easy in this environment. Bell carefully gathered them. ¡°Although there is a lot of water in the main body of the bamboo, there is not much water in the leaves. After they fall off, they will quickly dry up. We need to collect these things now. They will be good materials to start a fire.¡± ¡°Alright, let this bamboo make its final contribution.¡± Bell cut the bamboo about three meters with the dagger and continued moving forward while dragging the bamboo. Bell¡¯s luck today was clearly much better than in the past few days. Everything went as planned. Around noon, he exited the forest. There was a river in front of him. The wide river surface was extremely calm. Bell put down the bamboo excitedly and observed it before explaining. ¡°If I¡¯m not wrong, this should be a branch of the Murray River. Do you still remember what I told you before? If we follow a river, we will quickly find a place with human habitation. Of course, the river here is slightly more dangerous than Shennongjia, so we will only follow alongside it.¡± Chapter 148 - Crossing the River Bell wiped the sweat from his forehead and looked around at the calm river. ¡°If it were a place like Shennongjia, we can choose the previous method of making a bamboo raft to flow down. However, this river is not suitable for it. Although the river looks calm, the undercurrent is quite rapid. Look, there¡¯s a whirlpool. Do you see it? The whirlpool in the water is formed by the rapid movement of the undercurrent. Of course, these are not the most important things. Most importantly, I can guarantee that saltwater crocodiles will appear in this river.¡± After traveling for the entire morning, Bell felt exhausted. He sat by the river and took a rest. At the same time, Bell did not forget to observe the situation on the river. However, he did not see any suspicious things for the time being. ¡°No matter what, we have to be careful. We need to cross this river first, because the path on the other side is much better. However, we have a problem now. The turbulent river water below will make it very difficult to move across the river. Moreover, there is also the possibility of a saltwater crocodile appearing. If that really happens, this wilderness survival program will probably end here. ¡± The audience in the live-stream began to cheer. Although Bell¡¯s experiences were very dangerous, as Bell¡¯s fans, they knew that he could resolve danger every time. ¡°Bull shark: I¡¯m familiar with this plot. You tricked me like this the previous time, and I died.¡± ¡°Is it the next victim¡¯s turn?¡± ¡°It is the so-called setting up of the scene.¡± ¡°Host, your acting skills have reached perfection.¡± The comments in the live-stream did not seem to be tense. Bell was helpless. Everything he said was the truth. Why did these people not believe him? ¡°Alright, everyone, I¡¯m not joking about this. Saltwater crocodiles are the largest reptiles in the world. Their bodies are seven meters long and they weigh more than a ton. A saltwater crocodile can easily rip me into two with its bite. Moreover, it is already difficult for me to cross this river. If I encounter these guys, I might really die.¡± Seeing that the audience in the live-stream did not seem to believe in him, Bell could only continue to emphasize. However, the effect was only so-so. He placed the bamboo he had cut from the rainforest into the water and felt the flowing speed of the water. Although the water was rapid, he could still swim over with his stamina. However, the only problem now was to confirm if there were saltwater crocodiles in this area. Although the saltwater crocodiles did not like to stay in a place with rapid undercurrent, he could not gamble on this. If he failed, he would lose his life. Bell carefully observed for nearly half an hour on the bank of the river. After confirming that there were no saltwater crocodiles here, he began to cross the river. ¡°We are going to cross the river. Fortunately, we cut the bamboo earlier. This hollow bamboo itself has buoyancy. I have tied some stones around it with vines to increase the weight. This way, we won¡¯t be easily washed away by the rapid river.¡± Soon, Bell began to cross the river. Grasping the bamboo, he entered the water. Bell immediately felt the river water pushing him downstream. Fortunately, he had added weight to prevent himself from being swept away. Even so, he did not dare to move too fast in the water. He was afraid that his efforts would be in vain if he fell into the water. Walking in the water, Bell felt like he was in a swamp. Every step consumed a lot of his stamina. The river was about 25 meters wide. Moreover, the closer he was to the center of the river, the greater the impact of the undercurrent. If it were not for the bamboo pole, with Bell¡¯s height, he would have felt like he was drowning. Fortunately, Bell had tied nearly 50 kilograms of stones to the two ends of the bamboo pole, stabilizing his body. But even so, Bell still felt that it was very difficult to move. To move in such a river was no different from going against the current. Every time he moved forward, Bell would look around nervously. His greatest worry was that a piece of dead wood would suddenly float towards him. That would be a huge problem. Dead trees would not appear in this river zone. If that happened, it would mean that it was the back of a saltwater crocodile. Crocodiles did not swim in the water, instead they stepped on the ground and moved forward. Therefore, only a small part of the head was exposed, and it would look like a dead tree. Fortunately, he did not encounter such a situation. Lying on the bank of the river, Bell heaved a sigh of relief. Just this twenty or so meters of energy expenditure made Bell feel that he had used up more energy than the walk before. Whether it was mental or physical exhaustion, only after trying would people know how dangerous this was. If they were not careful, they might be sucked into the water by the undercurrent. After lying on the bank and resting for a few minutes, Bell stood up and untied the stones tied to the bamboo pole. He continued to move forward with the bamboo pole. This bamboo pole would be used for his shelter tonight, so he would not throw it away. Therefore, although he was exhausted, he continued forward with the bamboo. After crossing the river bank, Bell slowly left the tropical area. The number of trees decreased, and high mountain rocks and flat grassland appeared. It was already three in the afternoon. Walking on the plain, Bell began to search for a suitable location to build a shelter. Bell did not want to experience the same thing as last night again. He had to have a good sleep today. Soon, he found a place that he was satisfied with. It was a huge rock over ten meters tall. Three meters away from the huge rock was a rock ledge. It was like a man-made staircase, but magnified countless times. The rock ledge was two meters wide and ten meters long. It was enough for Bell to stay in. It was not difficult for him to climb up. Moreover, he had a lot of time on hand. Perhaps he could even create a ladder. Chapter 149 - Capturing Saltwater Crocodile With a suitable place to stay, there was no need to use this bamboo as a material to build a shelter. Looking at the tall rock ledge, Bell¡¯s eyes suddenly lit up. ¡°Alright, we need to create a ladder. This will save us a lot of energy. Moreover, it¡¯s almost night, and we need to start a fire. I need to gather wood, so I¡¯ll just finish all of it together.¡± After leaving the dangerous environment of the tropical rainforest, Bell moved much faster. It took him less than half an hour to set up the ladder. At the same time, he started a fire to pass the night. Because it had been raining the entire night, the rock ledge was still wet. Bell used the terrain advantage and gathered the surrounding dried grass to put on the rock ledge to reduce the dampness. Although the grass was a little wet, if he did not put something to block the cold from the rock ledge, it would take a toll on his mind the next day. After doing all this, Bell walked down from the rock ledge and dusted himself off. He looked at the live broadcast and said, ¡°Alright, everyone, now that our shelter and the fire issues are settled, the next problem is food. There is one law of wilderness you should always keep in mind. The energy consumed to capture the prey should not be greater than the energy the prey can provide you. Before you prepare to hunt, you have to think of this, or you will be wasting your time and energy. Alright, let¡¯s see what prey is here. ¡± Taking out his dagger, Bell entered the hunting state. Looking around, Bell suddenly stopped. The camera in the live-stream turned to Bell¡¯s target. It was a mud pool about 50 meters away from Bell. Because of the rain yesterday, there was a dried branch about three meters long lying in the mud. However, the strange thing was that there were no trees around. The dried branch looked a little out of place. Bell knew very well that this was definitely not a dead branch, but a saltwater crocodile that lived in the mud. Bell gestured for the audience to keep quiet and pointed in that direction. ¡°Look over there. I¡¯m guessing that some of the audience will think that it¡¯s just a piece of dried wood, but in fact, I¡¯m willing to bet that it¡¯s a saltwater crocodile. They love to sunbathe in these mud pools.¡± Seeing that Bell had set his sights on the crocodile, the live-stream exploded. ¡°F*ck, host, are you thinking of making this guy your dinner?¡± ¡°Alright, according to the law of wilderness that Bell mentioned earlier, this is a bloody profitable deal.¡± ¡°What¡¯s the taste of saltwater crocodile meat?¡± ¡°Crunchy chicken taste.¡± ¡°F*ck, the host was indeed deceiving our emotions. He even said that it was dangerous to encounter such a big guy. In the blink of an eye, he became knowledgeable of the taste of its meat?¡± Bell smiled and did not explain further. At this moment, Bell¡¯s attention was focused on the crocodile. ¡°From the exposed parts, we can deduce that this saltwater crocodile should be about three meters long. In other words, it is not old. In the wild, the saltwater crocodile¡¯s main attack method is biting. Then, it is the death roll that everyone is familiar with. The terrifying bite force and the crazy rotation will easily tear off the body part of the prey. I have said it many times. This saltwater crocodile¡¯s bite strength is very terrifying. But at the same time, they have a fatal weakness: they don¡¯t have strong muscles to open their mouths. If you are fast enough, as long as a normal adult man presses on the crocodile¡¯s mouth, the crocodiles will not be able to open their mouths. Without its main weapon, the crocodile will not be a threat.¡± Bell slowly sneaked closer while explaining. ¡°We only have one chance. Let¡¯s take advantage of this time when it has its guard relaxed, and win with a single strike. We can succeed as long as we can hold its mouth, but if we fail, we have to retreat immediately. ¡± Bell approached the crocodile. When there were only twenty meters left, Bell stopped talking and gradually slowed down. The saltwater crocodile in the swamp did not seem to notice Bell¡¯s arrival. It was still lying lazily in the mud, closing its eyes and sunbathing leisurely. In this Australian continent, saltwater crocodiles were top predators. No creature had ever dared to provoke them, let alone attack them. Therefore, in this unique environment, they were very lazy and would not be on guard. At this moment, Bell had already circled around five meters behind the saltwater crocodile. Even Bell could not help but feel nervous. Bell could feel his heart racing. It was normal for a human body to be in a nervous state in this situation. After all, hunting a saltwater crocodile, even if it was not an adult saltwater crocodile, was definitely very dangerous. If it was not handled properly, Bell might lose his life. However, at this moment, the saltwater crocodile seemed to have discovered Bell. Sensing that the crocodile was moving, Bell was shocked and quickly stopped. Once this saltwater crocodile showed any signs of attacking, Bell would activate his skill without hesitation to escape from its attack range. Fortunately, this saltwater crocodile only turned around lazily. It had already eaten and was not interested in Bell. It shook its long tail and continued to lie in the mud, enjoying the afternoon sun. Bell heaved a sigh of relief. He licked his lips and adjusted his condition to its peak. This saltwater crocodile was destined to pay a heavy price for underestimating its enemy. The Wilderness Hunter skill was activated again. Instantly, Bell felt his adrenaline spike, and his physical fitness changed, as if he had endless strength. Of course, this was just an illusion gained from a sudden increase in strength. And now, he had to use this short period of time to decide the victor with the saltwater crocodile. Taking a deep breath, Bell focused on the saltwater crocodile¡¯s head. He only had one chance. He could not make a mistake. Suddenly, Bell moved, jumping forward like a cheetah. Ignoring the mess in the mud, he pounced on the saltwater crocodile and sat on its head. His two hands were like steel pincers, holding tightly onto the saltwater crocodile¡¯s mouth. Under the sudden stimulation from the outside world, the saltwater crocodile¡¯s body began to struggle in the mud. The scene was abnormally chaotic. Chapter 150 - Memorial Museum The saltwater crocodile in the swamp kept struggling, but it was held firmly by Bell. After struggling for ten minutes, the crocodile seemed to be exhausted and stopped struggling. Bell seized the opportunity and released his right hand that was holding the crocodile¡¯s chin. He quickly took out the dagger and stabbed it into the crocodile¡¯s head. The dagger in Bell¡¯s hand was bought from the system, so its sharpness was obvious. The system¡¯s products were definitely top quality. It pierced through the saltwater crocodile¡¯s hard skull almost without resistance. The crocodile¡¯s brain was severely injured. Its originally energetic body instantly lost strength and fell limp into the mud. Its limbs twitched a few times and stopped moving. Bell was slightly excited. This was a three-meter-long saltwater crocodile. It could be said to be the greatest prey he had captured so far. This feeling of hunting such a creature was exhilarating. With the addition of the skill, Bell felt invincible. ¡°Haha, our luck is really good. We actually killed a saltwater crocodile. This fellow should be enough for me to eat for several days. Crocodile meat is a great thing. I presume that not many of you have tried it. Crocodile meat can be made into canned food as well.¡± Bell ignored the mess on his body and let go of the saltwater crocodile. He patted the crocodile¡¯s broad back and carefully observed it. He began to think about how to enjoy this dinner. At the same time, the live-stream exploded when they saw that Bell had really succeeded. ¡°F*ck, the host is too awesome. He actually succeeded.¡± ¡°As expected, when the host introduced saltwater crocodiles, I had already guessed it.¡± ¡°It has been proven that even in Australia, the host is still a top existence in the food chain.¡± ¡°The difference between a challenger and a bronze.¡± ¡°Mom asked me why I am watching the screen while kneeling.¡± Looking at these comments, Bell smiled and said nothing. His attention was focused on this saltwater crocodile. This saltwater crocodile was not small. He would definitely not be able to finish it alone. Moreover, with such a huge weight, it would be very difficult to bring it with him on his journey. Bell said after a while. ¡°Everyone, we gained a lot this time, but I definitely can¡¯t finish this crocodile by myself. If I bring it with me, it will affect my speed, so I will take its tail which has the best taste. This is enough for us to eat for a day or two. ¡± The saltwater crocodile¡¯s tail covered a third of its body. Although it was only three meters long, its tail was a meter long. After cutting it with the dagger, Bell went to the saltwater crocodile¡¯s head and dug out the two front teeth, holding them in his hand and bringing them to the screen. ¡°These are the spoils of war. Maybe I will make a wilderness survival museum in the future.¡± Bell had a habit. Every time he succeeded in an adventure or hunting, he would bring back some things. For example, he had kept the camel skin from the desert. Perhaps when he was older, he could take these things out to recall his younger days. After dissecting the saltwater crocodile¡¯s tail, Bell dragged it out of the mud. Although it was only about a meter long, the saltwater crocodile¡¯s tail was extremely thick. It weighed over fifty kilograms. Carrying over fifty kilograms, Bell returned to the shelter. As for the remaining part of the saltwater crocodile corpse, he believed that it would not be long before it was eaten by some carnivorous animals. There would be no traces left. He returned to the shelter and climbed up the ladder. It was already three to four in the afternoon. The sun would set soon. After putting down the tail, Bell sat on the ground and did not hurry to deal with the food. Instead, he picked up the bamboo pole he had been carrying. ¡°Many of the audience might have been wondering why I am bringing this bamboo. Let me explain to everyone.¡± Bell used the dagger to cut the three-meter-long bamboo pole into sections the size of an adult¡¯s arm. Then, he picked up a section. ¡°There was heavy rain here last night. It is very wet.¡± Although it has been a clear day, there is still a lot of water in the dried grass and branches. Perhaps they could be ignited with a fire. However, in the current situation, the difficulty of starting a fire would undoubtedly increase greatly, and it might even be impossible. This bamboo can be of great help to us now. It can be a good fire starter. ¡± Bell used the dagger to trim off the surface of the bamboo stick, exposing the dry wood inside. Bell moved the trimmed bamboo to the camera. ¡°Do you see that? The outer skin of the bamboo is very water-resistant. Although they have been in the water for a long time, their internal parts are dry. ¡°As long as we make this dry part into wood shavings, it can be used to ignite a fire. In fact, it is not only the bamboo. The pine tree also has this effect, and the effect is even better. Because the pine tree contains a lot of oil. Just a tiny spark can easily ignite it. ¡± As he spoke, Bell started cutting the bamboo sections into small pieces. He also gathered the bamboo shavings and prepared to use the fire saw method to start the fire. As Bell continued to push and pull the bamboo like a saw, black sawdust slowly appeared. After accumulating into a small blob, Bell quickly gathered it and poured it into the bamboo shavings to blow at them. Smoke and dust rose from the bamboo fragments and slowly turned into flames. After adding some more bamboo shavings, the fire gradually became stronger. After constantly adding flammable materials, the fire was finally started. ¡°Alright, everyone, while the fire is abundant, we can place the hydrated branches beside it.¡± ¡°In a while, their water will slowly evaporate under the high temperature. This way, we can ensure that the fire continues to burn.¡± After doing what he had to do, Bell heaved a sigh of relief. Humans seemed to have an inexplicable affection for fire. Although he was in the wilderness, having this fire made him feel very at ease. Bell turned his gaze to the saltwater crocodile tail he had brought back. Chapter 151 - Roasting Crocodile Meat As a reptile, saltwater crocodiles naturally had the common characteristic of reptiles: their meat contained low fat and high proteins. In terms of nutrition, this meat was a very good choice. Moreover, there were rumors that crocodile meat had the effect of strengthening lungs, and treating cough and asthma. Of course, Bell did not care about this. There was only one thing Bell was concerned about at the moment. What would the meat of this tail taste like? He had never had the chance to taste it before, so he naturally could not miss it. However, looking at the tender flesh, it should not be too bad. He cut off a piece of meat from the tail and roasted it on the fire. While roasting the meat, Bell spoke to the audience in the live-stream. ¡°If you have the chance to cook crocodile tail meat, I suggest you don¡¯t remove the crocodile skin. The collagen hidden in the skin is very helpful to bone recovery. To be honest, although there were no serious injuries when I jumped across the cliff a few days ago, I still injured my bones. This is just perfect to heal them.¡± While Bell was talking, the crocodile meat was emitting a sizzling sound. It was the sound of fat coming out of the tough meat after being roasted. Hearing this voice, Bell¡¯s body reacted naturally, and he subconsciously swallowed. The audience in the live-stream looked at the crocodile meat roasted on the fire with envy. ¡°BBQ is my favorite, but I have never eaten crocodile meat. I want to try it.¡± ¡°As expected, it¡¯s time for the food program again.¡± ¡°Every time Bell talks about animal danger, my first thought is whether this thing tastes good.¡± ¡°Hello, is this a stream about wilderness survival? Sorry, I seem to have entered the wrong place.¡± ¡°Will the host promote products?¡± Looking at the messy comments in the live-stream, Bell rolled his eyes. Good lord, they were treating him as a supplier. Bell naturally would not respond to these indecent comments. The crocodile meat was almost ready. Bell had used the time to make out two bamboo chopsticks. He flipped the crocodile meat. There was already a fragrant smell in the air. If nothing unexpected happened, he would leave this wilderness tomorrow. This should be his last meal here. He would take it as a celebration of his survival success. The sun set and the surroundings were gradually enveloped by darkness. Only the rock ledge where Bell was on had a trace of light. Some nocturnal animals began to move. From time to time, he could hear the screams of some Australian wild dogs. However, they were quite far away. Coupled with the height of the rock ledge, Bell was not worried that he would be ambushed. The three-meter tall rock ledge was enough to let him sleep in peace. After an hour or so, the crocodile meat was finally roasted completely. The meat turned golden in color and emitted an alluring fragrance. Bell cut off a piece of meat and stuffed it into his mouth. Because there was no seasoning and the blood had not been dealt with, the taste of the simple barbecue was only ordinary. After chewing for a while, Bell said, ¡°To be honest, the taste is not as good as I imagined. The texture feels a little like chicken and snake meat. However, overall, it tastes good. ¡± Bell did not show any intention of stopping while speaking. Large pieces of crocodile meat were stuffed into his mouth. The crocodile meat that Bell roasted was about five kilograms heavy. However, after roasting it, there were only about three kilograms left. However, this was enough for a full meal. At the same time, Bell made a new discovery about his body. It seemed like after his physique improved, the energy he replenished increased. If it were any other time, he would probably be stuffed to the point of not being able to stand up after eating this three kilograms of meat.¡¯Search wuxiaworld-0rg on google¡¯ But now, after eating the three kilograms of meat, he still looked unsatisfied. He looked at the remaining crocodile meat. In this weather, if he did not remove the water content in the crocodile meat as soon as possible, it might go bad by tomorrow. By then, it would be useless to keep it. Bell thought for a moment and cut the crocodile meat into small pieces and placed them on the fire to remove the water content. The remaining crocodile meat was dozens of kilograms. After they were dried, they would shrink greatly and the weight would be further reduced. Roasting meat was a long process. Bell continued to chat with the audience in the live-stream. ¡°I¡¯m quite satisfied with this time¡¯s wilderness journey. Not only did I break some records, I also broke my own limits. This journey has given me a lot. At the same time, it has paved the way for me to move forward.¡± ¡°From my estimation, if nothing unexpected happens, we should be able to return to the civilized world before tomorrow evening. I already have an idea where the next wilderness adventure will be. However, I will keep it a secret for now. I¡¯ll announce it to everyone when the time comes. This is the end of today¡¯s live broadcast. I¡¯m going to rest after I finish processing this meat. I¡¯ll see you tomorrow.¡± Time passed quickly. After cooking all the crocodile meat, Bell placed it aside and lay down on the grassland. Because of the rain last night, Bell did not rest well. He had slept for less than three hours. Moreover, it was light sleep. After all, he was in the rainforest, he had to be vigilant. But everything was good today, and Bell was feeling very tired. He could take a good rest. The evening wind blew across Bell¡¯s skin like a pair of gentle hands. Soon, Bell fell asleep. Shanghai building. Ye Fei looked at Bell¡¯s live-stream with a smile. Behind her, Uncle Zhao couldn¡¯t help but clap. ¡°This little guy is really outstanding. The effect of this show shocked me. It has been a long time since I have seen such an outstanding host. Did he really set up his own company? Is it possible to poach him?¡± After seeing the effect of this show with Bell, even though the man knew that there was not much hope, he still wanted to give it a try. However, Ye Fei shook her head. ¡°Uncle Zhao, don¡¯t bother about it. I¡¯ve already looked into this. The reason why Bell had fallen out with that video platform was mainly because they had stretched their hands too far. It¡¯s already very good that we can maintain a good partnership. ¡± Chapter 152 - Encountering the Divine Beast Alpaca The man shook his head regretfully. ¡°Alright, I won¡¯t have any ideas about him. This recording will be over soon. We have to be ready for the follow-up work. When he comes back, arrange a time to meet with him. Although we don¡¯t have the chance to recruit him into the company, if we can maintain a long-term partnership, it will be very meaningful.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t worry, Uncle Zhao, I know this.¡± After answering a few questions, Ye Fei turned her attention to the live-stream. Bell woke up in the morning. Being able to lie down and sleep was much better than sleeping on a tree trunk. After stretching his limbs, Bell felt much better. Looking at the plain ahead, Bell heaved a sigh of relief. The weather was not bad today. When the audience in the live-stream saw Bell get up again, a large number of fans rushed in. Bell¡¯s popularity had increased again. When he was hunting the saltwater crocodile yesterday, Bell noticed that his popularity had reached nearly 70 million. In other words, his popularity score had increased by 2000 again. In addition to the gifts, his popularity score increased by nearly 4,000 during this recording. The previously consumed popularity points were replenished. While feeling happy, Bell did not forget to think about his company. ¡®I wonder how Scarlett and others are doing.¡¯ His company had just been established, so there was definitely a lot to do. The girls were probably very busy. ¡®I should recruit some people after I return.¡¯ Bell thought. However, this was a matter for later. He took out a piece of smoked crocodile meat and took a bite. ¡°Alright, everyone, today is a good day. It has been five days since we arrived. If nothing goes wrong, I should be able to return to the civilized world today. Life in the wilderness might be exciting, but I prefer to lie in a comfortable bed. I can¡¯t help but feel excited at the thought of leaving this place soon. ¡± After putting all his crocodile meat in his backpack, Bell jumped off the rock ledge. This time, Bell did not use the ladder. Last night, in order to prevent some snakes from climbing up the ladder, Bell had kicked the ladder down. Fortunately, it was not very high. Bell jumped down. Just as he was about to land, he bent his legs and rolled on the ground to reduce the impact. He stood up coolly and continued forward. The sun had just risen, and Bell was quite refreshed from sleep. The anxiousness to return home made him feel extra energized as well. Walking on this dark green grassland, he looked at the sky. The white clouds and the clear sky painted a beautiful painting. At this moment, a snow-white animal suddenly appeared in Bell¡¯s vision. It was walking playfully in his direction. Due to the distance, Bell could not see what it was, but It looked a little like a sheep. However, its neck was much longer than a sheep¡¯s, like an ostrich. Walking closer, Bell smiled when he saw the animal¡¯s true appearance. It turned out that this thing was none other than the divine beast that had been circulating on the Internet, grass mud horse. Of course, this was just what the netizens called them. In fact, it had another name: Alpaca. However, the alpaca in front of Bell was a little unique. It was unknown if the hair on its head was blown by the wind or if it was born like this, but half of it drooped to one side, looking a little punkish. It looked a little elegant when blown by the wind. The audience in the live-stream also saw the alpaca and laughed crazily. The comments were filled with praise. The scene subculture shown by the alpaca was quite likable. After carefully observing for a while, Bell smiled. Through the alpaca¡¯s hair, Bell determined that the bangs on its head did not grow like this naturally, but were trimmed by someone. Alpaca was not only caught for their meat in Australia, its fur was also very popular. This alpaca seemed to be habituated to being around humans, so it was not afraid of Bell. When it saw Bell, it even moved closer to him while chewing the grass in its mouth. This was the first time Bell had seen such a creature, and he was immediately interested. The other party showed no intention of attacking. Bell took a few photos of the Alpaca and said with a smile, ¡°This alpaca is quite unique. If you¡¯re interested, you can make an emoji of its expression.¡± ¡°Is Bell going to start hunting again?¡± ¡°It is so cute, how can you eat it?¡± Seeing the people in the live-stream hooting, Bell waved his hand and said seriously, ¡°Alright, everyone, firstly, this alpaca is privately owned by someone. It¡¯s a private property. ¡°Secondly, we are doing wilderness survival, not hunting in the wild. We have enough food now, and there is no need to harm other animals, especially animals that are not a threat.¡± After hearing that Bell was not eating the alpaca, everyone was relieved. However, they then heard Bell change the topic. ¡°Although we can¡¯t eat it, this thing seems to be rideable. I¡¯ve never tried it before. Maybe I can try it today.¡± Compared to large mammals like horses, the alpaca legs were slightly slender. It was probably impossible to carry a human for a long time. But it would be fine if it was just for a short distance. Just as Bell was about to jump on this alpaca, the originally docile alpaca seemed to be agitated and ran away, catching Bell off guard. He almost fell to the ground and ate grass with the alpaca. Bell was speechless. ¡°Alright, I wanted to try riding a divine beast, but it seems like there¡¯s no hope now.¡± But just as he finished speaking and was about to get up, he saw a shocking scene ahead, making him jump quickly. The alpaca that had run far away suddenly turned around. Behind it were more than ten running alpacas, all coming for Bell. The scene was spectacular. Chapter 153 - Bell Who Was Spitted Seeing so many alpacas running towards him, Bell did not dare to be careless. This thing seemed to be harmless on the surface, but he did not know what was going on at the moment. It would not be worth it to be careless and be trampled on by them. It would be quite a hot topic if he failed due to these alpacas when he was close to escaping this wilderness. The alpacas were not slow. It was too late for Bell to run. However, the expected scene did not happen. The herd of alpacas surrounded Bell and began to spit at him. Seemingly because they ate grass all year round, the saliva of these alpacas was light green and carried some mucus. Bell did not notice it at first. Only after the punkish alpaca from earlier spat on his arm did he notice that the saliva had a disgusting smell. If he allowed these more than ten alpacas to continue to spit at him, just the thought of it made Bell¡¯s scalp tingle. He couldn¡¯t care less and quickly ran. On a large grassland, a funny scene appeared. Bell ran in front, and behind him were more than ten alpacas. The audience could not restrain their laughter. ¡°Hahaha, LMAO. The host was not defeated by the saltwater crocodiles, but lost to the alpacas.¡± ¡°As expected, divine beasts are divine beasts. Even Bell can¡¯t do anything to them.¡± ¡°Isn¡¯t this too funny? This alpaca is actually so smart. It knows that it can¡¯t defeat Bell alone and actually goes back to call its friends.¡± ¡°Haha, Bell, run faster. They are going to catch up to you.¡± The audience was enjoying the show. Unfortunately, although Bell¡¯s stamina was good, it was still within the range of an adult human¡¯s. He still got hit by the saliva now and then. Fortunately, other than spitting, these alpacas did not plan to do anything to Bell. After venting their anger, they gradually stopped. Under the lead of the punkish alpaca, they returned to their territory and continued to eat grass. As for Bell, who was chased by these guys for three kilometers, he had tears in his eyes. Seeing that the alpacas had finally given up, he heaved a sigh of relief. Lying on the grass, Bell breathed heavily. Looking at the alpacas who were eating grass leisurely, Bell rolled his eyes and pointed his middle finger. His clothes were stained with the saliva of many alpacas and emitted a strange smell. In order to remove the strange smell, Bell could only take off the clothes and throw them on the ground. ¡°Alright, this is really a sudden calamity. I didn¡¯t expect that I, Bell, who is unrivaled in this wilderness, would actually be defeated by these alpacas today.¡± ? ? ? ¡°Let me give everyone a piece of advice. Don¡¯t provoke these neurotic animals unless you have to. ¡± Looking at the mockery on the screen, Bell rolled his eyes and could not be bothered to bicker. He stood up and cleaned himself. ¡°Although the encounter earlier was very unpleasant, these alpacas have brought us good news. Since these alpacas are reared, it means that this place is not far from the civilized world. I estimate that we will be able to encounter some residents within three hours.¡± After dealing with the strange smell, Bell continued walking. As expected, around 2 p.m., Bell finally saw a villa. The Australian territory was huge, but it was not as crowded as China. Other than urban areas like Sydney and Melbourne, most of them were wilderness plains. The land was not expensive at all. In such a remote village, even the villas were mostly made of wood. They could simply go to the forest and get the woods to build it. Even the money to buy furniture could be saved by a large portion, resulting in the situation of people having some crafting skills. Looking at the villa, Bell said to the audience, ¡°Everyone, it looks like our adventure this time is over. All I need to do now is to wait to return. I¡¯m glad to meet so many new friends again. Let¡¯s meet next time. I am Bell, and I will show you the extreme places of this planet.¡± After saying the farewell words to the audience, Bell closed the live-stream. He approached the villa and knocked on the door. Opening the door, a muscular European man in his thirties walked out. Seeing how Bell was so disheveled at such a young age, the man immediately smiled. ¡°Little guy, you must have been bullied by those alpacas, right?¡± ¡°Why are you here alone? Where¡¯s your guardian?¡± It couldn¡¯t be helped. Bell was only eight years old. It was difficult to imagine that Bell was doing wilderness survival if they didn¡¯t know him beforehand. ¡°Hello, I¡¯m Bell. I want to explain to you, but is it okay if I take a shower first? The smell on my body is indescribable.¡± Bell spread his hands helplessly. The man laughed. He naturally had no reason to refuse such an adorable child. After a shower, Bell met the muscular man. The burly man¡¯s name was Wells. He was a typical middle-aged European man with a forthright character and a muscular build. His wife and children did not live here. They lived in Melbourne. The reason why Wells was here was mainly because there was some revenue from the farm. The man took out some food and placed it on the table, welcoming Bell warmly. Looking at the sumptuous meal on the table, Bell was tempted. He had not eaten any salt in the wild for the past few days. After tasting a mouthful, Bell¡¯s eyes lit up and he gave a thumbs up to Wells. ¡°Your cooking is really good.¡± Hearing the praise, the burly man smiled proudly. ¡°Haha, that¡¯s for sure. Back then, I was able to woo my lover because of my cooking. Speaking of which, why are you here? There are not many people here. ¡± Bell wolfed down the food in front of him. Although it looked a little ill-mannered, the past few days had been quite difficult. Bell smiled and shook the muscular man¡¯s hand like a little adult. ¡°I¡¯m a broadcaster. I was streaming a wilderness survival program. I just left the watershed.¡± Chapter 154 - Another Draw, New Skill The man was shocked. As a native, he naturally knew how dangerous the main watershed was. Her eyes were filled with disbelief. ¡°It¡¯s hard to imagine that you¡¯re only eight years old.¡± The man exclaimed. After enjoying dinner, the muscular man kindly arranged a room for Bell to have a good sleep. Bell, who was now lying on the bed, was not in a hurry to sleep. Instead, he opened the system¡¯s lucky draw wheel. After this live broadcast, Bell had accumulated a lot of popularity. Now, the main source of his popularity points was no longer the increase in the number of fans. The number of Bell¡¯s fans had increased to nearly 70 million. The gifts he got were in an extremely high amount. Almost every time the live broadcast was opened, Bell¡¯s income would be a million and more. Unknowingly, he had already become a nouveau riche. He could use the lucky draw again. After hesitating for a while, Bell finally pressed the draw button. After experiencing the enhancement brought by the Wilderness Hunter skill, Bell could not wait to obtain a new active skill. This skill was really useful in the wild. After Bell confirmed it, the needle on the wheel spun quickly and finally stopped in a purple area. [Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining a purple skill, Intimidation.] Looking at the direction the needle stopped, Bell was stunned. He had really obtained a skill. He did not expect himself to be so lucky to get a skill in his first try. He quickly opened his character interface. Name: Bell Age: 8 Height: 130 cm Strength: 10 Physique: 10 Endurance: 12 Agility: 11 Active Skills: Wilderness Hunter, Intimidation Passive Skill: Frost Bloodline Intimidation (Active skill) After using the skill, it will cause the target to fall into a state of confusion for one second, and all of their stats will decrease by 50%. The cooldown time is 180 minutes. This skill cannot be leveled up. After reading the system¡¯s skill introduction, Bell gasped. This skill effect was too domineering. Although it could not be leveled up, weakening the target¡¯s attributes by 50% was extremely powerful. At the critical moment, it could save his life. One second was enough in a crucial moment. Overall, Bell was quite satisfied with this skill. When challenging the wilderness, Bell would never complain about having too many life-saving skills. As the saying went, having more skills did not burden the body. At the crucial moment, a useful skill might represent survival. After the draw, Bell was about to rest when his phone suddenly rang. ¡°Hello?¡± It was an unknown number, so Bell did not know who was calling. But soon, the voice on the other end of the phone sounded, and Bell recognized who it was. ¡°Bell, how are you now? Are you okay? Why did you do such a dangerous move? It almost scared me to death. Are you injured? ¡± It was Scarlett Johansson. Bell smiled and felt his heart warm. It felt good to have someone care for you. ¡°I¡¯m fine. I¡¯ve already found a place to stay. I should be back soon.¡± ¡°Yeah, I know. I watched your live broadcast.¡± Clearly, Scarlett had been lurking in the live-stream without commenting. The two of them chatted for a while before Bell asked, ¡°How¡¯s the company¡¯s situation now? I heard that it is already starting to operate normally. How is it? Do you need to recruit more people? ¡± ¡°The company has already begun to operate normally, but because you have a huge number of fans, things have been a little busy.¡± Fortunately, Ziqi, Xiaoxiao, and the others used some connections to fill in a lot of manpower. The only problem is regarding your manager. Because you aren¡¯t here, we haven¡¯t decided on this position yet.¡± Scarlett Johansson said truthfully. Hearing this, Bell suddenly thought of someone. ¡°Manager? I have a candidate, but I am not sure if he¡¯s willing to come.¡± ¡°Who?¡± ¡°It¡¯s Hanks. ¡°I feel like he is quite good. Moreover, he has experience in both video editing and business matters. But he should still be working on Twitch.¡± Scarlett frowned when she heard the person Bell recommended. Due to the previous incident, Scarlett was not satisfied with Twitch, so she was feeling a little conflicted. After all, they had agreed earlier that Bell would become a shareholder after the end of the year. In the end, they went back on their word halfway. Moreover, the ban on Bell in the later part was related to them. Therefore, Scarlett was not very willing to interact with the people of that company. But it was a candidate recommended by Bell after all, and it did not seem right to refuse directly. Scarlett thought for a moment and said. ¡°Since you are recommending him, I can think of a way to contact him. However, we must confirm that he has cut off his relation with Twitch before we can recruit him. After all, our company is just in its initial stage, so everything should be done with safety. ¡± Bell nodded. He naturally understood this. However, he did not plan on making Scarlett contact Hanks. ¡°Let me handle this. I¡¯ll arrange to meet him when I return to China. We¡¯ll talk about the details when the time comes. If you want, you can come with me at that time.¡± As if afraid that Scarlett would think too much, Bell added. Scarlett Johansson rolled her eyes. ¡°By the way, where are Keira and the others? Are they with you too? Are all of you still in your villa? Why don¡¯t we find another place? We are getting more people, so we need to have a good studio. ¡± The voice on the other end of the phone suddenly changed. ¡°Haha, Bell asked about me. Did you miss me? I¡¯m telling you, you have to thank me. I¡¯ve been exhausted recently.¡± ¡°Aiya, don¡¯t snatch it. I¡¯ll give it to you.¡± Bell smiled and shook his head. Clearly, on the other end of the phone, Scarlett and Keira were fighting for the phone. Chapter 155 - Returning to China After chatting with Scarlett and others, Bell hung up. Just as he was about to sleep, his phone rang again. He thought it was Scarlett again. Bell picked up the phone. However, the voice on the other end of the phone was not Scarlett Johansson¡¯s. ¡°Hello, Bell, congratulations. This recording was very successful.¡± ¡°I¡¯ll send someone over tomorrow. Are you planning to rest there for a few days or return immediately?¡± The voice on the phone was none other than Ye Fei¡¯s. Hearing Ye Fei¡¯s voice, Bell thought for a moment. There seemed to be many things that he had to busy himself with in China. If he continued to stay here, it would be a waste of time. He might as well return immediately. ¡°I will return immediately. Just send people to fetch me back tomorrow.¡± ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll send someone over.¡± ¡°The recording was very successful this time. That jump across the cliff really shocked me. I thought that an accident was sure to happen. I didn¡¯t expect you to really succeed. ¡± Recalling the dangerous encounters in Bell¡¯s show, Ye Fei still felt some lingering fears. Bell smiled. ¡°I won¡¯t do anything I¡¯m not sure of.¡± Hearing Bell¡¯s confident tone, Ye Fei did not say anything else. ¡°Bell, can you spare some time after you return? My uncle wants to meet you.¡± Ye Fei seemed to be a little embarrassed and hesitated. Bell was stunned. He and Ye Fei were just partners. Why did her uncle suddenly want to see him? Ye Fei seemed to feel that Bell had misunderstood and quickly said. ¡°No, Bell, don¡¯t get me wrong. My uncle is in the company too. He thinks that our cooperation went well this time. If there¡¯s a chance, we can work together for a long time. He¡¯s interested in you too. He wants to meet you and have a chat.¡± Ye Fei quickly explained while Bell smiled. ¡°Alright, if that¡¯s the case, it¡¯s fine. We¡¯ll talk about it after I return.¡± ¡°Okay, see you when you get back.¡± The two of them hung up. Putting the phone aside, Bell fell asleep. He had been too tired these past few days. In the office building in Shanghai. Ye Fei sat at her desk and hung up. ¡°How did it go? Did Bell agree?¡± Ye Fei nodded. ¡°Yeah, he said that he will find time after he returns to China.¡± ¡°Alright, I¡¯m looking forward to meeting this little guy.¡± ¡°Speaking of which, is he really only eight years old? Your conversation did not sound like it.¡± Ye Fei shook her head. ¡°I don¡¯t know. He looks like he¡¯s only eight, but he doesn¡¯t talk like that.¡± ¡°I feel like he¡¯s older than me. It¡¯s strange.¡± ¡°What an interesting guy.¡± The night passed peacefully. The next morning, Bell got up early and cleaned the room. After the people sent by Ye Fei arrived, he bade farewell to Wells.¡¯Search wuxiaworld* 0rg on google¡¯ ¡°Hello, Mr. Bell. Nice to meet you. I was sent by Director Ye to fetch you.¡± I wonder if you still have some unsettled matters left here? If you want, I can wait for you here. ¡± ¡°It¡¯s okay. Let¡¯s go.¡± Bell nodded. Before he left the villa, Wells took a photo with Bell and got his signature as well. Back in China, when they got off the plane, Scarlett, Keira, Li Ziqi, Lin Xiaoxiao, and the others were waiting at the airport. As for Ye Fei, she was naturally there. The few of them had top-notch looks. They instantly attracted a lot of gazes in the airport. Seeing Bell get off the plane, a large number of reporters rushed forward. Fortunately, Ye Fei was prepared. The security guards stopped the reporters outside, preventing Bell from being drowned by the crowd. Seeing Scarlett and others walk over, Bell smiled. ¡°Welcome home.¡± Li Ziqi smiled. ¡°Why are you guys here?¡± Bell was curious. Only Ye Fei should know that he had returned. Why were Keira and the others at the airport? They looked at each other and smiled. ¡°We met recently. We¡¯ll talk about the details when we get back. Let¡¯s go. There are many people here.¡± Scarlett smiled and prepared to leave with Bell. The reporters followed closely behind and kept asking Bell various questions. ¡°Mr. Bell, please don¡¯t go. Can I ask you a few questions?¡± ¡°Are you really eight years old?¡± ¡°What¡¯s your relationship with Lin Xiao Corporation¡¯s director, Lin Xiaoxiao?¡± ¡°The program this time is not related to the Wilderness Survival production team, but another platform. Have you terminated your contract with Wilderness Survival¡¯s production team?¡± ¡°What are your plans for the future of your company¡¯s platform?¡± The reporters kept asking Bell, but he did not plan to answer. Although he was a host, he did not want to walk the path of a celebrity, nor did he want to fall into these strange whirlpools. In this situation, if he were to get involved with these reporters, he would just waste his time. He might as well ignore them. After getting into the car, the surroundings finally fell silent. Besides the pairs of hands that kept knocking on the window. It felt like a scene from a zombie movie. ¡°I didn¡¯t expect you to be so popular now.¡± Keira looked at the scene outside the car and teased. ¡°Yeah, I didn¡¯t even see many of my fans when I came out this time. I was completely treated as a passerby.¡± Scarlett joked. ¡°Bell will be a top celebrity in the future. Remember to take care of us at that time. We¡¯re partners after all.¡± ¡°That¡¯s right, that¡¯s right. We lived on a deserted island together. You can¡¯t forget that.¡± Natalie and Anne also teased. The few of them seemed to be much more comfortable with each other. Only Li Ziqi sat beside Bell and looked around. From time to time, she would examine him like an old mother. Bell was puzzled by this situation and could only smile awkwardly. After the car drove for a while, Bell suddenly realized that this road did not seem to be the way to return to Scarlett¡¯s or Li Ziqi¡¯s villa. ¡°Err, where are we going?¡± Ye Fei turned around and smiled mysteriously. ¡°You will know in a while.¡± As for Scarlett and others, they were also acting mysterious, making Bell confused. Chapter 156 - Pie Falling From the Sky The car quickly drove to a suburb. Finally, they stopped in a large yard in a villa. Looking at this unfamiliar place, Bell looked at the others in puzzlement. But before Bell could ask, a middle-aged man walked out of the villa. ¡°Hello, Bell. I¡¯m Ye Fei¡¯s uncle, Zhao Tinghai. You can call me Old Zhao or Uncle Zhao. ¡± ¡°I took the liberty to invite you all over today. Let¡¯s talk inside. Ladies, please come in.¡± Seeing this unfamiliar man, Bell looked at Scarlett and the others in puzzlement, wanting to ask what was going on. But Keira smiled and shook her head. She stood beside Bell, and even Li Ziqi had the same expression. This puzzled Bell. These few people were acting so mysterious. What were they doing? Li Ziqi smiled and said softly beside Bell. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, today is a good thing. You will know in a while.¡± Bell could only feel relieved. When he entered the villa, he saw that the living room was already prepared for the banquet. It seemed like they were just waiting for the guests. Other than the middle-aged man, there was a man who looked to be in his forties sitting at the dining table. Seeing Bell come in, the man stood up and nodded at Bell with a smile. This puzzled Bell even more. These seemed to be unfamiliar faces. ¡°Alright, everyone, take a seat. Let me do the introductions.¡± ¡°I believe I don¡¯t need to introduce Bell, you all should know him. Let me introduce myself. I¡¯m one of the directors of the Fei Yang Group and Ye Fei¡¯s uncle. I am in charge of some platform related matters. ¡± ¡°This is my niece, Ye Fei. She is also the person in charge of the platform.¡± ¡°This is Old Li, Li Bin. He¡¯s a big shot, the person in charge of channel 4.¡± The middle-aged man who Ye Fei called uncle introduced the people around him. After knowing this person¡¯s identity, Bell was shocked. Good lord, this was really a heavyweight guest. The person-in-charge of the Central Corporation¡¯s channel actually came over in private. Ye Fei¡¯s uncle looked at the man and smiled. ¡°Old Li, don¡¯t pretend to be mysterious. Didn¡¯t you ask me to help contact Bell? Why are you keeping silent now? I¡¯ve already completed my job. ¡± With that, Zhao Tinghai looked at Bell. ¡°Bell, although this is the first time we meet, you have a good relationship with my niece. Since I¡¯m older than you, just call me Uncle Zhao.¡± ¡°Old Li wants to discuss video copyright with you. He wants to broadcast your videos on his channel. Ask him for a huge payment. ¡± Zhao Tinghai said half-jokingly. Old Li stood up. ¡°Old Zhao, don¡¯t pretend to be a good person.¡± ¡°Hello, Bell. I¡¯m Li Bin. Old Zhao and I are old friends, so some jokes are unavoidable. I¡¯ve seen your streams. It¡¯s very eye-catching and is compatible with our channel¡¯s style.¡± ¡°I¡¯m the one who planned this meeting today. I want to talk to you about whether you¡¯re interested in selling the rights to the video to us to create a show.¡± Li Bin spoke politely. He did not have the air of a high and mighty figure. Instead, he made everyone feel comfortable. Bell naturally would not respond impolitely. ¡°Hello, Uncle Li, it¡¯s my honor that you chose my program. However, I don¡¯t know what show broadcasting involves. Our company has just been established and is still in the initial stage. I wonder if we can cooperate with you.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t worry, I¡¯ve thought of this. You just need to give us the authorization. As for the profit split, we can discuss it later. ¡°The main reason I came over is to check if you have such intentions. To be honest, I really think highly of your program. I haven¡¯t seen such an interactive program in many years.¡± ¡°However, this wilderness survival tv show should still be different from a live broadcast. When the time comes, we will need more materials. If you have time, we can even record a show. What do you think?¡± Bell naturally did not refuse. Wilderness survival theme videos were originally made after editing recorded videos. After all, accidents might happen during a live broadcast, and it would be difficult to control. Only a skilled host like Bell could control the content of the live broadcast. If the videos were turned into a show, it would save him a lot of trouble. With the help of Central Corporation¡¯s platform, after the videos were broadcast, he would definitely be able to gain a large number of fans. This was like a pie falling from the sky. No wonder Li Ziqi, Scarlett Johansson, and others were acting so mysterious. They wanted to give him a surprise. ¡°Alright, Uncle Li, we will settle this matter later. My intention is to record a separate program. Or edit the live streams later for the show. ¡± ¡°But most of my live streams belong to the Wilderness Survival program team. I wonder if you have a way to communicate with this program.¡± Li Bin laughed. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, I¡¯ve already thought about this. As long as you agree, there won¡¯t be a problem.¡± Bell was relieved. ¡°Come, come, come. The dishes are all here. Everyone, take a seat. Let¡¯s talk while eating.¡± From time to time, Li Bin and Zhao Tinghai would ask Bell some questions. Bell was indeed not like an eight-year-old child. He was not inferior to even two old men who had been in the business and politics for many years. This made the two of them nod repeatedly. They had the same thought as Ye Fei. For a moment, they wondered if Bell was really eight years old. Bell could not drink. Li Ziqi, Scarlett, and others drank a few glasses on Bell¡¯s behalf. The guests and host ate happily. After sending the chauffeur to send Bell and the others back to the villa, Ye Fei walked out and stood beside Zhao Tinghai. ¡°Uncle, what do you think about him?¡± Hearing his niece¡¯s question, the trace of intoxication on Zhao Tinghai¡¯s face instantly disappeared. ¡°Not bad, really not bad.¡± He is eloquent, unlike a child. Unfortunately, he is too young. ¡°Too young? What does it matter?¡± Ye Fei was puzzled. Zhao Tinghai smiled awkwardly. ¡°If he was older, our Little Fei might have a marriage partner.¡± Chapter 157 - Inviting Hanks Hearing Zhao Tinghai¡¯s words, Ye Fei blushed. ¡°Uncle Zhao, what are you talking about? Bell is so young. And how did it suddenly relate to me?¡± Ye Fei rolled her eyes at Zhao Tinghai angrily and returned to the villa. Seeing Ye Fei like this, Zhao Tinghai laughed and shook his head. Then, he got into the car and left the villa. The night passed peacefully. When Bell woke up again, he was already lying on the comfortable bed in Scarlett¡¯s house. As soon as he woke up, he smelled the fragrance of food. He followed the smell. Downstairs, Keira, Scarlett, Li Ziqi, and others were gathered around the table, except for Bell. ¡°Since you¡¯re awake, wash up and join us.¡± Hearing footsteps, Li Ziqi looked upstairs and saw that Bell was awake. Breakfast was cooked by Li Ziqi herself, and it was mostly Chinese. Bell had a satisfying meal after a long time. Seeing Bell wolfing down the food, Li Ziqi smiled in satisfaction. ¡°I¡¯m done eating.¡± ¡°Didn¡¯t Scarlett Johansson call me earlier to say that the problem of my manager has not been resolved? I¡¯ll see if I can invite Hanks over. ¡± ¡°Have you really decided on Hanks? Aren¡¯t you going to consider it?¡± Scarlett looked at Bell and confirmed again. Bell nodded. ¡°I¡¯ve already decided on this. ¡°But if you have a better candidate, you can let them compete.¡± Scarlett and the others looked at each other and said nothing. After all, they were talking about the position of Bell¡¯s manager who would have to follow Bell everywhere and also manage his videos. If the choice was not according to Bell¡¯s will, it was easy to have a conflict. It would not be worth it. Although Hanks was a subordinate of their rival company, Bell, as the company¡¯s main boss, insisted on recommending him. They had to give Hanks a chance. After returning to his room, Bell calculated the time and confirmed that the other party should be resting. He called Hanks. ¡°Hello, Mr. Bell. I didn¡¯t expect you to call me again.¡± Hanks sounded surprised. After all, the company had such a huge conflict with Bell before, Hanks had thought that the two sides would never interact again. Unexpectedly, Bell took the initiative to call him. When he had seen the phone number, Hanks was shocked. He thought that he had seen wrongly. Only after confirming it repeatedly, he answered the call. Of course, he did not remain in the office, instead, he quietly found a secluded place. Hearing Hanks¡¯s nervous tone, Bell smiled. He could already guess what his expression looked like. He must be hiding in a corner, carefully answering the call. ¡°Hehe, no need to be so surprised. Didn¡¯t we have a good time working together? How have you been? How¡¯s work? ¡± Bell asked casually. Hanks sighed. ¡°Sigh, it¡¯s not like you don¡¯t know about the company¡¯s situation. It¡¯s just the same. After you left, I returned to my position as chief editor.¡± Hanks naturally did not say anything bad about the company, but he sounded disappointed. Chief editor¡¯s position was much higher than the video editing position, but the problem was that he did not have high income support. After all, he was already a middle-aged man who was close to forty years old. He was already past his age to try new endeavors. He only wanted to support his family and earn money. He had thought that Bell was his life¡¯s opportunity. After all, Bell¡¯s potential was very high. Back then, Hanks had wanted to take a gamble and bet his life on Bell. As long as Bell could make a name for himself, Hanks could also earn a lot in a few years and retire. But this series of plans was finally broken by the company¡¯s higher-ups. Bell was indeed popular, and the kind that made people turn purple. Not everyone could achieve 70 million fans. In fact, there were very few who could reach this level in the entire industry. Bell was the only one in the wilderness survival theme. But the key problem was that this had nothing to do with Hanks. The company cut off all contact with Bell, and he chose to stay in the company. Hanks could only feel vexed that he had missed the greatest opportunity of his life. If he were given another chance, he would definitely choose to support Bell without hesitation, but it was too late to say anything now. Bell¡¯s company had already broken through the crisis, and their status in the industry was no longer the same as before. It was not easy to enter Bell¡¯s company, especially for someone like him who was in the enemy company. Although Hanks had given Bell some hints, Hanks felt that these were not enough reasons for Bell to help him. Bell also heard Hanks¡¯s disappointed smile. This was the effect he wanted. ¡°If you¡¯re not busy, why don¡¯t you come over to my place? Speaking of which, it¡¯s been a while.¡± Bell said calmly. But the flat words made Hanks shiver. What was going on? Was Bell inviting him? No, no, it might just be a chat. How could Bell lack employees with his reputation? Was there a need to invite him personally? Hanks did not think he had that much prestige. Hanks¡¯s mind fell into chaos. He forgot to reply to Bell. Hearing no response from Hanks, Bell asked impatiently. ¡°How is it? Do you have time? If not, forget it.¡± Although he had the intention to recruit Hanks, he could not force it. If the other party did not want it, Bell would naturally not insist on it. Hanks reacted and quickly said. ¡°Oh, yes, yes. Sorry, I was a little dazed earlier. I have time, I have time.¡± ¡°You decide the time. Where are you now, Bell? I¡¯ll book a flight.¡± After coming to his senses, Hanks was clearly very excited. After obtaining a satisfying reply, Bell nodded and immediately informed Hanks of his location. He arranged the meeting to be next week. Then, the two of them hung up. Chapter 158 - Family ¡°How is it? Is Hanks willing to come over?¡± In the room, Scarlett Johansson asked as she sat beside Bell. Bell nodded. ¡°Of course, look who invited him.¡± Bell put on a proud expression, making Scarlett Johansson laugh. ¡°Yes, yes, yes. Your reputation is the greatest.¡± After a few jokes, Scarlett suddenly remembered something and looked at Bell. ¡°By the way, Bell, the Wilderness Survival production team contacted us when you were not around.¡± ¡°Oh, what¡¯s the matter?¡± Bell was surprised. It had only been half a month since he left and finished the survival in the Australian wilderness.¡¯Search wuxiaworld{ 0rg on google¡¯ It had only been a month since the Wilderness Survival¡¯s show had finished. The next program was set to be two months later. Did something happen? Otherwise, the production team would not have disturbed him. But Scarlett shook her head. ¡°I don¡¯t know about this either. They just said that they wanted to see you and didn¡¯t tell us in detail. After knowing that you were not around, they left.¡± Bell frowned. It seemed like it was not about the program¡¯s recording. They probably wanted to discuss something else with him, otherwise they would have informed Scarlett and others. After all, everyone knew that Scarlett and other girls were shareholders of Bell¡¯s company. It was not a secret and there was also no need to conceal it. Bell said after a moment. ¡°Alright, I understand. I¡¯ll go to the station and see what they want from me.¡± ¡°Do you want me to go with you?¡± Scarlett asked. Bell smiled and shook his head. ¡°No need, I¡¯ll be back on the same day.¡± Scarlett nodded to show that she understood and said nothing else. But after saying that, the two of them suddenly fell silent. For a moment, the two of them did not know what to say. They sat on the bed in a daze, unable to say a word. Scarlett blushed. Bell also felt that the atmosphere in the room seemed to have changed. ¡°That¡­¡± ¡°You still¡­¡± The two of them spoke at the same time, but their words collided again and they immediately swallowed their words. The atmosphere in the room became even more awkward. Bell secretly glanced at Scarlett. Scarlett coincidentally glanced at Bell. Their gazes met. When they saw that the other party was looking at them, they were stunned. Immediately after, the awkward atmosphere was broken. Pfft! Scarlett Johansson covered her mouth and laughed. ¡°If you want to look, just look. Why are you so sneaky?¡± Scarlett asked Bell playfully. Bell blushed. Scarlett Johansson suddenly leaned over and approached Bell. Their noses were almost touching. Bell¡¯s nostrils were filled with the fragrance of Scarlett. It made his heart beat faster. Seeing Bell¡¯s nervous expression, Scarlett Johansson smiled even wider. ¡°Look at how nervous you are. What are you doing? Are you afraid that I¡¯ll eat you?¡± Bell scratched his head awkwardly. He was not an eight-year-old child, mentally at least. It was not like he did not know anything about the atmosphere earlier. After laughing, Scarlett suddenly stopped. She looked up at Bell solemnly. Bell was also a little nervous by Scarlett¡¯s expression. Scarlett said, ¡°Bell, promise me that you won¡¯t take such risks again.¡± Scarlett sounded very serious, and Bell knew that she was not joking. At the same time, he knew what Scarlett was talking about. It was the action of jumping across the cliff in the live broadcast. Back then, during the live broadcast, others might have found it very exciting. However, when Scarlett Johansson saw Bell¡¯s jump, she felt like her soul had left her body. Back then, she had closed her eyes in fear and did not dare to look. Perhaps when others watched Bell¡¯s live broadcast, they were mainly looking for excitement and interaction with the host. However, after knowing Bell for so long, Scarlett¡¯s feelings for Bell gradually changed. In the past, Scarlett would have thought that Bell¡¯s action was very handsome and would have admired him. But with this trace of affection, after seeing Bell¡¯s actions, she was only worried. After all, no one wanted someone close to them to do such a dangerous thing. Bell understood what Scarlett meant and lowered his head in shame. Indeed, he had always been alone, so he liked to chase after exciting things. But unknowingly, there were already so many people surrounding him. Scarlett, Keira, Anne, Natalie, Lin Xiaoxiao, Li Ziqi, and even Ye Fei had gradually interacted with his life. They were like family to him. When doing these dangerous things, they would definitely be worried for him, or even be frightened. Bell was very ashamed. This was his job and his choice, but he was also not willing to let them continue being afraid. ¡°Sorry, in the future, I will¡­¡± Bell lowered his head, not daring to look into Scarlett¡¯s eyes. But before he could finish, he suddenly felt his body pause and fall into softness. Then, he heard Scarlett Johansson say softly. ¡°Bell, I know you¡¯re not a child. At the very least, not mentally. You can make your own decision in the wilderness. I have no right to decide for you. But we are friends. Seeing you in danger, I will still worry for you.¡± ¡°I don¡¯t want you to give up on this career, but if possible, don¡¯t do anything too dangerous. Try to choose safer routes if you have the choice.¡± Scarlett¡¯s tone was reproachful and pleading, making Bell feel worried. However, after hearing Scarlett Johansson¡¯s words, Bell felt a trace of warmth. He did not know what his feelings for Scarlett were, but this feeling of being a family was indeed very reassuring. Chapter 159 - Pressure of Public Opinion After sending Scarlett off, Bell could not calm down for a long time. A day passed quickly. Just like Scarlett Johansson had said, the production team had tried to contact Bell before. Now that they knew that Bell had returned to China, they immediately called Bell again. Looking at the familiar phone number, Bell picked up. ¡°Hello, Bell, it¡¯s me. Where are you now?¡± The beautiful host¡¯s voice sounded. ¡°I¡¯m with Scarlett and others. You know the location.¡± ¡°Mmm, do you have time? If you do, let¡¯s meet and chat. There are some things the production team wants to arrange and ask for your opinion.¡± The beautiful host¡¯s tone was solemn. Bell frowned. Seeing how hurried the other party was, Bell thought for a moment. ¡°Alright, come over now. I have time.¡± After getting Bell¡¯s reply, the host stopped wasting time and quickly hung up. Sensing the other party¡¯s hurried tone, Bell was puzzled, not knowing what was going on. After a while, the doorbell rang. As expected, it was the beautiful host. After exchanging greetings with Scarlett and others, the host looked at Bell and got to the point. ¡°Bell, I believe you¡¯ve heard of it. I¡¯ve already tried to contact you, or rather, the production team has looked for you before. However, since you were recording the program, we did not disturb you. The situation is like this: Wilderness Survival¡¯s response is very good. Every platform is asking us for the rights to broadcast the program. But don¡¯t worry, the leaders of the station have not agreed to this yet. On one hand, it is because the program is not over yet. On the other hand, they felt that this concerned the contestants, especially you. You can be said to be the face of the entire Wilderness Survival program. It will not be right to sell the broadcast rights without your approval. Therefore, the first thing I¡¯m asking you today is if you have the intention to sell the broadcasting rights.¡± The host looked at Bell and waited for his reply. Bell smiled. ¡°Actually, even if you didn¡¯t look for me, I would have looked for you soon about this matter.¡± ¡°I¡¯ve met the person-in-charge of a station here. He also wants to buy the broadcasting rights. I believe he will contact the production team soon.¡± He could not hold this thing with him. If he got a suitable price, it was naturally not a problem to sell the rights. However, it has to be shown on my own platform first.¡± While helping others, Bell also had to ensure his own benefits. The beautiful host nodded in understanding. ¡°Alright, I understand. There¡¯s no need to ask the leaders about this. I¡¯ll acknowledge it right here.¡± ¡°Then there¡¯s another thing.¡± The beautiful host¡¯s expression turned solemn. The others couldn¡¯t help but hold their breaths when they saw her expression. ¡°It¡¯s like this, Bell. In fact, the production team is in a crisis. You were the only one who successfully passed the previous Wilderness Survival round. The other survivalists did not pass, nor did they obtain the approval of the audience. Therefore, there has been a lot of response online recently. They feel that these people are not suitable to participate in the show at all. But these contestants have already signed up. Moreover, because of the program, it has also increased their popularity and traffic. It is not good to fire these amateur contestants halfway. The higher-ups thought for a moment and suggested a suggestion related to you.¡± Hearing this, Bell looked at the beautiful host, wanting to know what the production team¡¯s suggestion was. ¡°It¡¯s like this, the production team is preparing to conduct a training program for these Wilderness Survival participants. You will be the mentor, including Bear and Ed. The three of you will each lead a team of survivalists, and compete in the same environment. Then, the three of you can choose to eliminate the unqualified contestants.¡± ¡°No way! Bell is a contestant himself. If you do this, the fans of the eliminated contestants will attack him. This will affect Bell¡¯s reputation.¡± Before Bell could speak, Scarlett and the others stood up to retort. Bell also saw the problem. No wonder the beautiful host looked troubled. So it was because of this matter. In fact, Bell guessed that the host was not telling the truth. They even said that they wanted Bell to lead these survivalists. This was definitely a feint. Bell¡¯s guess was that the Wilderness Survival¡¯s production team could not take the pressure from the outside world. After all, every show was basically Bell¡¯s solo show. It was hard to guarantee that there would not be more doubts in the outside world. Moreover, these doubts were mostly voiced by the fans of other contestants. Some contestants even encouraged and told them to say it. Bell was the face of the Wilderness Survival program team. If the authenticity of Bell¡¯s survival skills was questioned, then the reputation of the Wilderness Survival program team would also be affected. Therefore, the production team made the decision to promote Bell from a contestant to a mentor. Let him lead these contestants to prove his qualifications. With these contestants watching from the sidelines, they could at least seal a portion of the audience¡¯s mouths. In this case, the envious contestants would not slander Bell too, which could be considered as helping Bell prove himself. In fact, this issue had already surfaced when they were on the uninhabited island. But because of Bell¡¯s survival skills, the issue was resolved, and the two jealous guys received the punishment they deserved. But now, it seemed like there were many such people. Bell had only discovered two of them. In fact, there were many people who were envious and jealous of Bell. The beautiful host looked at Bell and waited for his reply. ¡°Bell, you can¡¯t agree to this. Otherwise, you will become everyone¡¯s target.¡± After all, Bell was only an eight-year-old child. There would definitely be many problems if a group of adults were led by an eight-year-old child. There was no need to think to know how many voices of doubt there would be. With a prejudice in their hearts, everyone would look at Bell¡¯s actions differently. If an accident happened related to the show, Bell would have to take the responsibility. If someone wanted to make things difficult for Bell, this would be a perfect opportunity. Bell¡¯s reputation was at its peak. Once it collapsed, it would be difficult to salvage it. The beautiful host did not speak either. She only waited for Bell¡¯s reply. Scarlett and the others looked nervously at Bell, hoping that he would not take the risk. Bell was silent for a moment before looking up at the beautiful host. ¡°Where is the location of this Wilderness Survival adventure?¡± Chapter 160 - Video Broadcasting Rights Bell did not directly answer the beautiful host¡¯s question. Instead, he asked about the location of the program¡¯s recording. The beautiful host was stunned, but she reacted and said, ¡°It should be in Alaska where the US is connected to the Arctic Circle.¡± Hearing about this place, Bell quickly went through the information in his mind. Alaska, where the United States and the Arctic Circle were connected, was the largest state in the United States. At the same time, the environment was harsh, and there were less than 800,000 residents in Alaska. Most of them lived inland. Only a few Inuit would live near the Arctic Circle. The temperature there was below zero all year round. During this period, the temperature in North Alaska should be between -15 to -25 degrees Celsius. 1 Moreover, there was even midnight sun and polar night in the north. It was October. If Bell remembered correctly, it should be the time for polar night. It could last up to half a year. In other words, they would be moving in the dark. In this cold environment with hindered vision, the difficulty of survival had undoubtedly increased greatly. But Bell smiled. ¡°Not bad, I¡¯ll take on this program.¡± ¡°As a mentor, I will teach them a good lesson.¡± Bell looked very confident. He was not afraid of the difficulty of the environment, but of the program being too simple. Scarlett, Keira, and others were shocked when they heard Bell. They did not expect Bell to agree. But seeing Bell¡¯s determined expression, they finally swallowed her words. The beautiful host was surprised by Bell¡¯s answer, but she did not say anything. She looked at Bell and felt that Bell had guessed the reason behind this. ¡°Alright, in that case, I will report to the leaders.¡± Although it was said to be a request from the station, in fact, this show was going to be a challenge that the station and Bell had to pass together. This was because both Bell and the Wilderness Survival¡¯s production team needed to dispel the doubts on the Internet. They needed an extremely difficult adventure. At the same time, this danger made one feel nervous. Fortunately, Bell finally agreed. After the beautiful host left, Scarlett Johansson ran to Bell¡¯s side and looked at him angrily. ¡°Bell, you shouldn¡¯t have agreed. It is dangerous to incur the anger of the masses. If you suddenly advance from a contestant to a mentor, someone will definitely target you. If anything goes wrong in the recording, your popularity will be affected. ¡± ¡°Scarlett is right. You were too hasty in agreeing this time.¡± Natalie nodded in agreement. Bell listened to the few of them lecture the entire time, but he was in no hurry to retort. After everyone was done, Bell looked at them and said, ¡°You guys are thinking too simply of this. Do you think this is over just because I don¡¯t agree? ¡± Everyone was stunned. ¡°Isn¡¯t that so? If you don¡¯t agree, the production team can¡¯t force you to be promoted to a mentor, right? ¡± Scarlett looked at Bell questioningly. Bell smiled. ¡°They naturally can¡¯t force me to be a mentor. However, do you think the leaders of the station would be so stupid as to push my reputation against all the contestants? ¡± Bell explained slowly. The others were stunned and fell into deep thought. Bell was right. Logically speaking, the leaders of the station should not have done this, but they still did it. At first glance, this was undoubtedly a very stupid move. Bell was the station¡¯s face now, so what was the use of slapping their own face? Everyone was puzzled. Bell smiled and said. ¡°Remember the last time we were on the uninhabited island? Someone had deliberately caused trouble for me and thought that I was just putting on a show. Back then, they were only two of the randomly chosen ten people. But with so many contestants, how many others think the same way? It could not be just the two of them. It is just that the others did not have a chance. Moreover, it is becoming more obvious that the production team is supporting me. Even the other contestants¡¯ resources have decreased. It must have caused a lot of public anger. Although the other contestants don¡¯t have as many fans as me, they are all streamers. By hiring some fake reviewers, they can more or less start some discussions. ¡± ¡°The production team probably can¡¯t take the pressure anymore.¡± ¡°If I don¡¯t participate, the public will take it as indirect agreement. By then, there will be even more trouble.¡± Bell analyzed seriously. The people present stopped talking. They really did not expect this. However, these few people were all top celebrities and had some understanding of these things. It was normal to be envious of Bell¡¯s outstanding performance. But they were still worried. After all, Bell¡¯s company and the audience were gradually getting on the right track. If Bell lost his reputation now, it would be troublesome. Scarlett wanted to say more, but Bell waved his hand. ¡°Alright, there¡¯s no need to say anymore. Don¡¯t worry, since I¡¯ve agreed, I naturally am confident.¡± ¡°Let¡¯s use this time to resolve the problem of the broadcasting rights. I will also talk to Hanks about the manager. I¡¯ll leave the PR to him, while the other company matters will need to be handled by you all. This is also a test for me. I believe that after the program¡¯s recording is over, the malicious discussions on the Internet will decrease greatly. ¡± Bell said with a smile, looking relaxed. Scarlett and the others looked worried. Everyone present knew that the discussions about Bell on the Internet were mostly due to the fans or people bought by the other contestants. After all, the unrelated people, even if they thought that Bell was fake, would mostly just be watching this matter as a joke. Only when it came to their own benefits would they care about these things. Seeing that Bell had already decided on the matter, she did not say anything else. She sighed and looked at Bell. ¡°Sigh, you really don¡¯t seem like a child. All right, then. We¡¯ll go with your plan.¡± ¡°However, once you sense anything amiss, you have to tell us. You can¡¯t act on your own, understand?¡± Natalie and the others also nodded in agreement. Bell smiled, ¡°Don¡¯t worry, I will deal with all these problems.¡± Chapter 161 - Hanks, Lifes Gamble The next day, Hanks arrived at the arranged location. Seeing Bell again, Hanks felt complicated. ¡°Hanks, it¡¯s been a while.¡± Bell smiled and sat down opposite Hanks. He greeted Hanks like he was meeting an old friend. Hanks smiled bitterly. ¡°Mr. Bell, it¡¯s been a while, but you¡¯ve changed a lot compared to last time.¡± Although Hanks had not contacted Bell for a long time, he had been paying attention to everything about Bell. Bell had continued to move forward over this period. On the other hand, because he did not have Bell, he seemed to be pushed out of the core circle of the company. Thinking about it, it made sense. How many chances could a person have in their life? How could they encounter all kinds of good things? It was already a huge blessing to have the opportunity to meet Bell, but unfortunately, this opportunity was destroyed by those stupid upper echelons. Seeing that Hanks was not interested in making idle talks, Bell did not ask further. ¡°All right, Hanks. I¡¯m sure you can guess why I called you here today. I would like to ask if you have any intention of coming to my company. Your position will remain the same, but I can promise to give you some dividends. You need to discuss the specific ratio with Keira and the others. What do you think?¡± The two of them could be considered old acquaintances, so Bell cut to the chase. Moreover, judging from Hanks¡¯ expression, it was obvious that his life had not been smooth recently. Bell could not say anything more, or he would look a little fake. Hanks froze in disbelief. Although he had guessed that Bell would invite him to join his company, he did not expect Bell to be so direct. After all, he was still in his company. Moreover, his company had a bad relationship with Bell. Did Bell really trust him so much to let him join his company? Hanks was doubtful. ¡°I know what you¡¯re thinking, but if you doubt a person, don¡¯t use him, and if you use a person, don¡¯t doubt him. Since I have already chosen to let you join the company, I will not suspect you. So, let¡¯s put everything else aside. Give me a direct answer. Do you want to join the company? ¡± Bell stopped talking and looked sharply at the shocked Hanks. Under Bell¡¯s urgent questioning, Hanks was momentarily stunned. After a moment, he looked up at Bell and asked seriously, ¡°Why did you choose me?¡± He was a little puzzled. Logically speaking, with Bell¡¯s current condition, it should not be a problem to recruit a few managers. After all, the names of the top celebrities were listed in his company. Hanks thought to himself and knew that he was definitely not the best. Bell smiled. ¡°Why did I choose you? The reason is very simple. Because we have worked together before. And I can tell that you¡¯re unhappy with your current company. In that case, why not change it? How about it? Are you interested in taking a gamble? You should know about my company¡¯s situation. It will either soar into the sky or be reduced to dust. ¡± Almost everyone in the industry knew about Bell¡¯s company, so Bell was not interested in hiding anything. Although Bell could recruit many people, the older people in the industry would not take this risk. Before Bell¡¯s company stabilized, they would only continue to observe. No matter what condition Bell gave, they would not agree. Because no amount of treatment was worth mentioning compared to the future. Bell had seen Hanks¡¯ level of business before, and it was not worse than some people who had been in this industry for many years. Most importantly, Hanks had his own thoughts and goals. After considering various reasons, Bell chose to recruit him. After hearing Bell¡¯s answer, Hanks did not immediately respond. Just like Bell had said, it was a gamble. If the gamble went well, Bell¡¯s company would soar, and he would soar as well. It was needless to say what would happen if the gamble did not work. Hanks knew that he would be forced out of this industry like Bell¡¯s company. How could such an important decision be decided with just a few words? Hanks said after a while. ¡°Mr. Bell, firstly, thank you. Thank you for choosing me as a candidate. However, this matter is really too important. Can you give me some time to think carefully? ¡± Bell smiled, not surprised. ¡°No problem. How about this? I might have to go do the show soon. If you agree, you can contact Scarlett and others. You guys should be familiar with each other.¡± Hanks took Scarlett¡¯s name card and nodded. ¡°Then that¡¯s it for today. I have something to do, so I¡¯ll get going first. I¡¯ll wait for your reply.¡± The two of them ended the talk and bade farewell. Back at the villa, Keira, Scarlett, and the others were busy. Of course, other than running the company, the main problem was recruitment. Recruitment was a huge project in a new company. Seeing Bell return, Scarlett Johansson turned and asked. ¡°How was it? Did Hanks agree?¡± Bell was about to start filming. They really needed a manager to manage everything for Bell. After all, they were not professionals. Although they could deal with most of the things for Bell, they would not be professionals. ¡°He wanted some time, but I gave him your phone number and contact details. If he¡¯s willing to join, he will contact you.¡± Scarlett did not say anything else. ¡°By the way, the Wilderness Survival¡¯s production team called in the afternoon. They said that the program will be starting in the next two days. If you have time, go over and prepare.¡± ¡°They are in so much hurry this time? Alright, I understand.¡± The show was going to be in another country after all. Other than the issue of the passport, there was also the issue of the territory. It was impossible for Bell to take the helicopter to the location of survival. He had to go to the local area first. After knowing that a new adventure was about to begin, Bell began to calculate what he needed. Chapter 162 - Frost Bloodline Activation Bell began to think. Firstly, he was going to Alaska, which was connected to the Arctic Circle, so it was going to be cold. Fortunately, he had already drawn the Frost Bloodline and could reduce this cold to a certain extent, lowering the difficulty of survival. Secondly, he was not going to be a survivalist this time. Instead, he would be a wilderness survival mentor. This way, it would not be like in the past where he just had to escape from the danger zone. There should be some additional missions. The reason why the show was in such a hurry was mainly to suppress the negative comments on the Internet. Therefore, he had to show a certain level of ability that could suppress everyone. Moreover, because many of the contestants were against him, there might be physical conflict. Therefore, he needed some strength. He had exchanged for a max-level combat skill before, so he did not need to worry too much about it. With Bell¡¯s current strength and skills, it was not a problem to subdue two or three adult men. Other than that, there was another important thing. It was the various dangerous creatures in the harsh environment. The more harsh an environment was, the more lethal its creatures were. If Bell remembered correctly, there was the second largest bear in the world living in Alaska. This Kodiak bear could reach 3 meters or more when standing upright and weighed 800 kilograms. It had terrifying strength, and could even break trees that were 30 to 40 centimeters thick with a slap. Although he had the skill Intimidation on him, Bell did not want to meet these guys. Bell tried his best to learn of the dangers he might encounter in this trip. Preparing a plan could save him a lot of trouble. The night passed quickly, and the production team sent the plane tickets to Bell¡¯s residence. It was a plane ticket to Fairbanks. The time was the day after tomorrow. He only had a day to prepare. Bell shrugged and said nothing. It seemed like the discussions online had really driven the production team into a corner. Otherwise, they would not be in such a hurry. Fairbanks was a city closer to the Arctic Circle than other Alaskan cities. Because of the Arctic Circle, it added a trace of mystery to this city. Many people went there to sightsee every year. Of course, most of them were there to admire the aurora or ski. After all, the temperature in the extreme north of Alaska was below zero all year round. The day passed quickly. After packing up, Bell boarded the plane with Scarlett and others watching him. When he walked out of the cabin again, he felt the difference in temperature and shivered. At this moment, Bell was only wearing a jacket and T-shirt, and had almost no resistance to the cold. In addition, it was around midnight. The temperature outside of Fairbanks could be said to have reached its lowest. But soon, Bell felt that he was gradually getting used to the cold. It was as if some potential had been dug out from his body. After moving his body, he gradually stopped feeling cold. This strange feeling surprised Bell. But soon, Bell realized that the reason he felt this way was that the Frost Bloodline had taken effect. This skill did not show much effect in the Australian wilderness. But in this cold environment, the effect was obvious. If they were really unable to fight the cold in this environment, let alone survive, even if they were given food, it would be extremely difficult to survive. This skill lowered the difficulty of survival by a whole level. After walking out of the airport, the person arranged by the production team immediately recognized Bell and greeted him. ¡°Hello, Mr. Bell. I¡¯m here to pick you up. The hotel has been arranged. Please get in the car.¡± This was not a treatment that everyone had. Bell¡¯s identity naturally was no longer the same as those ordinary survivalists. After confirming the other party¡¯s identity, Bell handed his luggage to him. In the hotel, Bell began to observe the surroundings. In fact, the temperature here was lower than he had thought, but it was not that bad for him. ¡°If it¡¯s as a mentor, I can play with these survivalists this time.¡± Bell thought to himself. Bell woke up early in the morning. He walked to the hotel lobby, immediately attracting the gazes of many. Compared to most people who stayed in the hotel, Bell¡¯s dressing could be said to be different. Because of the temperature, most people wrapped themselves up like dumplings and had difficulty moving, while Bell seemed to be having a summer break. Many people gave Bell a thumbs up. Then, they asked politely. ¡°Little friend, are you an Inuit?¡± Bell could only shake his head with a bitter smile. The Inuits did look Asian, but they lived in the Arctic Circle all year round, so they gradually developed resistance to cold. ¡°I¡¯m from China.¡± Everyone was stunned. ¡°So, you¡¯re actually from China! Aren¡¯t you cold wearing so little? Oh, I know. It must be the legendary Chinese kung fu. They called it qi¡­? Qigong! Yes, it is qigong, I¡¯ve heard of it! ¡± The bystanders appeared very excited. Bell could only smile awkwardly. Good lord, what was this? How did they bring qigong into this? Immediately after, the hall was in chaos. Many people learned that a child from China came to the hotel and knew Qigong. Many tourists who yearned for Chinese kung fu but were delayed by their schedule, wanted to see this child¡¯s true appearance. However, Bell had already left the hotel. In this show, he was not a contestant, but a mentor. Therefore, he had to ensure the safety of the contestants. Other than the Wilderness Survival¡¯s production team¡¯s rescue, he also had to add another layer of insurance. While leaving the hotel, Bell asked what he wanted to know. ¡°Where is the government rescue team in this area? How can I contact them?¡± Chapter 163 - Rescue Team After asking around, Bell finally obtained the address of the government rescue team. It was not close to his location, but Bell did not plan to take a car. In order to adapt to the Frost Bloodline, he chose to take a walk. He would be in this temperature for a long time, so it was better to adapt early. The morning in Fairbanks was around minus three degrees. Bell, who was walking in light clothes, became the focus of everyone. Walking to the government rescue team, Bell used the language he had learned to speak to the receptionist. However, the results were unsatisfactory. The staff at the front desk told Bell bluntly that the rescue team would not provide private services. Bell was disappointed to hear this, but soon he got an idea. ¡°Sigh, it¡¯s like this. I¡¯m here to participate in the recording of a program. It is Wilderness Survival. This program will be broadcast live on various major video platforms around the world. You can search for it. If the rescue team of Fairbanks is willing to provide us with insurance, we can do some publicity for free. ¡± Bell felt that such a tourist attraction definitely required a lot of publicity. They definitely would not refuse such a suggestion. In fact, it was just as Bell had thought. The eyes of the staff at the front desk lit up, and her attitude changed drastically. Previously, he had been speaking methodically, but after hearing Bell¡¯s suggestion, he immediately smiled brightly. ¡°Is it a show? If that¡¯s the case, it¡¯s not impossible. Can you show me which platform your program is on?¡± Bell naturally did not refuse. Bell showed the receptionist his streaming account. After seeing the number of Bell¡¯s fans, the receptionist¡¯s eyes widened. ¡°Oh my god, I remember now. I heard of you. Your name is¡­¡± The receptionist pointed at Bell for a long time but could not tell name. Seeing this, Bell smiled awkwardly. It felt like she was familiar with him, but could not remember his name. Bell just introduced himself. ¡°My name is Bell. Nice to meet you.¡± ¡°Yes, yes, yes, Bell, I remember now. You¡¯re that child from China.¡± The receptionist seemed to remember it finally. ¡°I¡¯m glad you know me, but I¡¯m in a little trouble now. I wonder if you can help me discuss it with the rescue team. Although Wilderness Survival itself has rescue procedures, I think the local rescue team knows more about this environment. Moreover, the location of Wilderness Survival this time is quite dangerous. I¡¯m worried that an accident will happen. ¡± ¡°Oh my god, are you saying that the program will be held here?¡± The receptionist was excited. Bell also realized that he had let it slip, but it was clearly too late to take it back now. Immediately after, the receptionist asked. Bell had to talk with her for nearly an hour. The receptionist had finally agreed to take Bell to the director¡¯s office. After seeing the director, the receptionist introduced them. At the same time, she mentioned Bell¡¯s identity and the influence of the show. After knowing that Bell was willing to advertise for the rescue team for free, the man¡¯s attitude changed drastically. The matter was quickly settled. At the same time, Bell promised the other party that if they really needed to be rescued, his show would definitely promote them more. The atmosphere in the office was harmonious. After discussing some details, Bell rushed back to the hotel. Along the way, the gazes of the passerby who looked at him did not decrease. However, Bell could not be bothered with these things. He was clearly in a good mood after having achieved his goal. It was almost noon when he returned to the hotel. Since he had arrived at a new place, there was no reason for him not to taste the local delicacies. After ordering a steak and crab leg, Bell began to enjoy his lunch. The king crab leg was indeed very delicious. After filling his stomach, Bell began to pack his equipment and planned. At this moment, Bell was still in Fairbanks. The temperature at the place he was heading to was much colder than here. The night temperature could even reach -25 ¡ãC. Although he had the support of the Frost Bloodline, he was not truly of the frost bloodline, so he needed some warmth. If he really wore just a windbreaker and ran there, he would probably freeze to death. Bell listed all the resources he needed. Bell did not choose to buy these things. Instead, he contacted Lin Xiaoxiao. She was also in the outdoor clothing business. Lin Xiaoxiao and he were partners now. Since there was a chance to help her, he would take this opportunity to help her do some publicity. After handing the list to Lin Xiaoxiao, the other party promised that they would send all the resources over as soon as possible. And the other party¡¯s speed did not disappoint him. In just a day, Bell received an entire set of equipment sent by Lin Xiaoxiao. There were undergarments, sweaters, snow boots, gloves, and other things. Even the polarized glasses that he had not written on the list were prepared by Lin Xiaoxiao. Bell could not help but feel warm when he saw these things. With everything prepared, Bell knew that it was time to set off. He opened his Weibo and looked at the various comments. Bell had an impulse. His Weibo had already been officially verified, but there had been no updates at all. This Wilderness Survival was also a way to prove himself. The more audience, the better. In that case, he could use the influence of Weibo. Bell did not stay idle. He logged into his Weibo account and updated his first status. ¡°The fifth episode of Wilderness Survival, the exploration of the Arctic Circle. It will officially begin tomorrow. Please stay tuned.¡± Chapter 164 - The Show Begins The next morning, the production team seemed to be done with their preparations. They knocked on Bell¡¯s door early. Bell opened the door sleepily. ¡°Hello, Mr. Bell. I¡¯m an employee of the Wilderness Survival program. The production team asked me to call for you. Today is the time to head to the north. ¡± ¡°I wonder how your preparations are going, Mr. Bell?¡± Bell nodded. ¡°The preparations are about done. When do we set off?¡± ¡°You can bring your things to the lobby later. There will be someone there to receive you.¡± ¡°Alright, I understand.¡± After packing his things, Bell walked out of the room with a small bag. Under the guidance of the program team, Bell soon arrived at an airport. At this airport, there were nearly ten helicopters. When Bell arrived, many people were already there. Bell attracted a lot of attention as soon as he arrived. Almost everyone present looked at Bell, but their gazes did not seem to be very friendly. Bell did not need to ask to know that these people in front of him were definitely contestants of the same batch as him. Otherwise, they would not have revealed such a gaze. Bell smiled. Suddenly, Bell saw two familiar figures. The two figures were walking towards him. ¡°Hi! Bell, nice to meet you. Although it¡¯s our first time meeting, we¡¯ve been watching you for a long time.¡± ¡°That¡¯s right, little guy. We¡¯ve been watching all of your videos. Your performance is really good. It¡¯s hard to imagine that you¡¯re only eight years old.¡± Two middle-aged men carried their backpacks and walked to Bell¡¯s side. Unlike the others, these two people looked at Bell without hostility. Seeing their appearance, Bell knew their identities. They were the renowned Ed and Bear, God-level wilderness survival experts in his previous life. Although Bell knew that the production team had always invited these two people as special guests, he had never had the chance to see these two people. This time, he had fulfilled his dream. Seeing that the two of them took the initiative to look for him, Bell naturally did not put on airs. ¡°Hello seniors, I¡¯ve heard a lot about you.¡± With Bell¡¯s current age, it was indeed not excessive to call these two people seniors. Suddenly, Bear came to Bell¡¯s side mysteriously. ¡°Little guy, let me tell you a secret. This wilderness survival is different from before. It¡¯s not that simple anymore. You have to think of a way to tame this group of people. They are very unhappy with you being promoted to a mentor. Be careful. ¡± Ed also let out a strange laugh when he heard Bear mention this to Bell. Bell shrugged helplessly. ¡°It¡¯s okay, let them come. It just so happens that I¡¯m tired of moving alone. Let me have a change in experience by leading some students. ¡± Hearing Bear¡¯s reminder, Bell was not nervous. Seeing how confident Bell was, Ed and Bear looked at each other and laughed. ¡°Haha, nice, young man. I believe in you. ¡°Alright, we¡¯re about to board the plane, and we have to split up into teams.¡± As time passed, all the contestants had arrived. The production team divided the contestants into three groups. Just like the previous time, they were allowed to choose their teams. Then, the previous scene happened again. Most of the contestants chose to stay beside Bell, but this time, their goal was different from Keira and the others. The reason why these people chose to be in Bell¡¯s group was mainly because they wanted to take the opportunity to drag Bell down or step on his reputation. Ed and Bear did not pay too much attention to this. In this situation, the two of them had long expected trouble and fame. The two of them had experienced this before. Bell casually chose ten members. Of course, he did not choose randomly. He deliberately chose ten people who looked at him with the most hatred. Bell was very curious. What method would these guys use to target him? The helicopters started. The Wilderness Survival¡¯s production team¡¯s broadcast room officially began its broadcast. In the broadcast room, beside the beautiful host were Li Ziqi and several female celebrities. ¡°Hello, everyone. Welcome to the fifth episode of Wilderness Survival. ¡°Today, we will be bringing everyone a new round of Wilderness Survival. Everyone, look at these beautiful women beside me. I believe everyone is familiar with them. Our old guest, Li Ziqi, and also the special participants in the previous rounds, Keira Knightley and Scarlett Johansson. ¡°Today, they will not be participating in the show as contestants, but as special guests.¡± ¡°Moreover, I can tell everyone the good news. This season¡¯s Wilderness Survival is different from the previous few episodes. This time, we have chosen to let mentors lead the team in carrying out group Wilderness Survival.¡± ¡°Firstly, our first mentor. The man at the peak of the food chain and the overlord of the wilderness, Bear is the first group¡¯s mentor. ¡± ¡°Ed, who can eat anything. is our second group¡¯s mentor.¡± The beautiful host suddenly dragged her words. The audience also seemed to be hooked. Ed and Bear were both well-known figures in this Wilderness Survival and had been famous for many years. In this industry, who could compare to them? No one could think of anyone else for a moment. The beautiful host smiled mysteriously and said. ¡°I believe everyone is looking forward to seeing who the mentor for the third group is. Who can reach the same level as Ed and Bear, who are the top in the food chain, and be promoted to a mentor? ¡± ¡°He is¡­¡± The sound effects of the production team began to sound, and everyone¡¯s hearts tightened. A shadow slowly appeared on the screen, but it was difficult to see clearly. As the music increased, the figure became clearer. When the atmosphere reached its peak, the beautiful host said. ¡°He¡¯s the king of the wilderness, our genius boy, Bell!¡± When the photo appeared, the audience also erupted in excitement. Chapter 165 - Start After the beautiful host finished speaking, the audience was stunned. But soon, everyone reacted. ¡°F*ck, no way. They actually promoted Bell to be a mentor!¡± ¡°Ed and Bear are participating too? I wonder which of the three will perform the best.¡± ¡°I think it will be Ed. I have seen his shows, he is quite amazing.¡± ¡°I support Bear. I was his fan before.¡± ¡°Hey, previous poster, have you all forgotten? Without any protection in the wild, who created world records? Even Ed and Bear don¡¯t have such results. ¡± The fans of each mentor argued. The screen switched to the contestants. In front of the screen, Bear, Ed, and Bell stood together. Behind the three of them were three teams, each with ten people. Bell had already opened the live-stream. ¡°Is the stream starting so soon?¡± ¡°New fans reporting.¡± ¡°Supporting the host, don¡¯t lose to Ed and Bear. As long as you win, you will really be the king of the wilderness.¡± ¡°The host is too much. Previously, he only ate alone. Is he bringing a team to eat this time? There should be polar bears here, right? ¡± ¡°It¡¯s great to eat polar bears and penguins.¡± ¡°Bell¡¯s fan club reporting.¡± As soon as the live-stream opened, a large number of people entered. Of course, this was also related to the publicity by Wilderness Survival¡¯s production team. After everyone packed their luggage, Ed and Bear led their team members to the helicopter. ¡°Lastly, check that everything is fine. Prepare to board.¡± Bell instructed. However, the effect was not satisfactory. After hearing Bell¡¯s words, the ten members only looked around casually and did not respond. Clearly, no one took Bell¡¯s words to heart. Bell did not say anything. These people wanted him to fight with them. But that would be too easy on them. If he really did that, the news would definitely report that Bell started an argument with a certain contestant. With Bell¡¯s current popularity, it was simply increasing the other party¡¯s popularity. After reaching the wilderness, he had ways to deal with these guys who had ulterior motives. ¡°Alright, since everyone is ready, let¡¯s board now.¡± ¡°Dear viewers, it¡¯s nice to see you again. I¡¯m Bell. Our Wilderness Survival mission this time is quite special. I will be an instructor and lead my teammates to complete this survival mission. I believe everyone knows where we are. We¡¯re about to board the helicopter. These military helicopters are very fast. They can reach 400 kilometers per hour. I believe we will reach the designated area in less than an hour.¡± After turning on the live broadcast, Bell quickly turned serious. The helicopter continued to rise until it reached the designated altitude and location. ¡°We are 3,000 meters in the sky. Do you want to jump?¡± The pilot said loudly to Bell. Bell nodded and looked at his teammates. ¡°Now, we¡¯re going to parachute. Let me ask you this. Is there anyone who doesn¡¯t know how to parachute? If you don¡¯t know, don¡¯t force yourself. This is a dangerous operation. ¡± Bell looked solemnly at his ten teammates. But even so, the ten members still shook their heads. Among them, a muscular man of European descent walked up with a look of disdain. ¡°Mentor Bell, it¡¯s just parachuting. Aren¡¯t you looking down on us? I will jump first, take a look if my movements are up to standard standard or not, Mentor Bell.¡± The burly man emphasized the words ¡®Mentor Bell ¡®. Everyone could tell that he was mocking Bell. The atmosphere in the helicopter became tense. Everyone looked at Bell, not knowing how he would respond. After all, Bell was only eight years old. Faced with a muscular man of 1.8 meters, his figure already had a certain pressure. Some people in the live-stream cursed the burly man saying that he was shameless and was stirring up trouble. Bell smiled. ¡°Looks like our contestant is very confident in his parachuting skills. In that case, show everyone.¡± Bell was neither anxious nor angry, as if he did not hear the other party¡¯s provocation. Seeing that Bell did not respond, the muscular man curled his lips in disdain. ¡°Look carefully, I will show what a real parachuting technique is.¡± The muscular man stood in front of the cabin door and jumped down. The camera seemed to know that this burly man¡¯s parachuting was a selling point, so it naturally captured this scene. He somersaulted in the air while parachuting. His body did not seem to be in good condition, but he finally opened the parachute and landed steadily. Generally speaking, the man¡¯s parachuting skills definitely surpassed most of the people present. It was no wonder that he was so confident. However, this technique was too simple in Bell¡¯s eyes. However, after landing, the burly man felt that his performance was perfect. He did not forget to provoke Bell¡¯s fans in front of the camera. ¡°Hi, everyone, I¡¯ve already landed. I wonder how our Mentor Bell is doing now. It¡¯s not easy to parachute at high altitudes. Not every amateur can parachute. Why don¡¯t I explain to everyone how to parachute?¡± The burly man looked smug, already treating himself as the protagonist of the show. Seeing the other party¡¯s smug expression, Bell¡¯s fans in the live-stream looked indignant, but they couldn¡¯t help but worry for Bell. The strong man¡¯s parachuting skills were indeed excellent, and there was no lack of audience who understood this technique in the live-stream. They all knew that it was not easy to achieve such a standard in this environment. Bell had already seen some fans in the live-stream talking about the situation after the burly man jumped down, but he ignored them and turned to look at the remaining nine members. ¡°Alright, everyone. One of our members has already jumped down. We can¡¯t waste too much time.¡± ¡°Let me confirm one last time, is there anyone who doesn¡¯t know how to parachute? Don¡¯t joke with your life.¡± Chapter 166 - Playing With His Life? Bell looked at the nine members who were still in the helicopter. Although these people were not very likable, as their mentor, Bell still had to be responsible for their lives. He had to do his part. But as Bell finished speaking, the members looked at each other. In the end, no one spoke. Seeing this, Bell stopped talking. However, Bell noticed that one of the team members looked hesitant after hearing Bell¡¯s words. He was about to speak when he was stopped by his friend. ¡°Alright, since there¡¯s no problem, let¡¯s begin.¡± Since everyone thought that their parachuting skills were too good, Bell naturally could not be bothered to explain. This would instead make him look bad. The members jumped down one after another. Bell saw everyone¡¯s movements and did not comment. Whether it was good or bad, they had landed safely. Just as the member with a hesitant expression wanted to jump down, he was pulled back by Bell. The sudden external force shocked the team member. He quickly retreated, his face filled with fear. The man was very angry to see Bell pull him when he was about to parachute. ¡°What are you doing? Don¡¯t you know that this is very dangerous?¡± The man shouted loudly to vent his displeasure. His friend also gloated. ¡°Mentor Bell, what are you doing? You did not even explain anything to us as a mentor, so why are you adding danger for us? Isn¡¯t it a little inappropriate? ¡± The man had a strange expression on his face. Bell looked at him coldly. The man looked into Bell¡¯s eyes and immediately felt a chill. He felt like he was being stared at by a ferocious beast. Normally, he would have continued to mock him, but now, he could not say a word. ¡°I¡¯m your supervisor. I naturally have my own arrangements. Your mission now is to parachute. Don¡¯t say any unnecessary nonsense and make me angry.¡± The current Bell was not like a child at all. His change in attitude shocked the few people on the helicopter. The man still wanted to refuse, but when he recalled Bell¡¯s gaze, he trembled. In the end, he curled his lips and did not dare to speak again. However, just as he was about to parachute, he walked to his previous friend and whispered something into his ear. The others did not hear what the man said, but with Bell¡¯s current physique and hearing, he heard every word. This guy was actually teaching parachuting skills on the spot. Bell was speechless. What kind of stupid teammate would do such a thing? This was a high difficulty parachuting, and the danger factor was off the charts. The two of them probably had a really good relationship, but they actually dared to do such a thing. They were completely taking their lives as a joke. Was he going all out just to stomp on his reputation? Bell suddenly felt that these people were childish. Even if Bell did not teach them anything, what could it prove? Bell¡¯s reputation was built up from one after another dangerous encounters, and not from teaching newbies like them. Moreover, the parachuting technique that this guy mentioned was extremely basic in Bell¡¯s eyes. After hearing the man¡¯s teachings, Bell couldn¡¯t help but shake his head. If the person he had stopped earlier really parachuted with this technique, he would probably die today. ¡°Fortunately, I stopped him. Otherwise, an accident might have happened.¡± Bell thought to himself. Soon, the members had finished parachuting, leaving only the one who was grabbed by Bell. Seeing that his teammates had successfully landed, the man was clearly nervous. He looked down and swallowed his saliva. He moved back slightly but then firmly took a step forward. Bell stood behind the man and watched him mentally prepare himself, but he did not speak. He could roughly guess the other party¡¯s mentality. This was a dangerous moment. It was not something that could be done simply by saying it. However, Bell also wanted to see what the other party would decide. Would he really give it a try or would he admit defeat? Seeing the man like this, the audience in the live-stream gradually realized that something was wrong. ¡°What is this person doing? Why is he dawdling?¡± ¡°Don¡¯t tell me he doesn¡¯t know how to parachute? Didn¡¯t Bell ask them if they were familiar with parachuting?¡± ¡°Don¡¯t you think that the members assigned to Bell don¡¯t seem cooperative?¡± ¡°It looks like it. These members seem to be targeting Bell on purpose.¡± ¡°They¡¯re not worthy of targeting Bell.¡± ¡°Not necessarily. Everyone saw these people parachuting. They don¡¯t look like newbies. They have some ability.¡± The people in the live-stream were discussing. While the man was dawdling, Bear and Ed¡¯s team had already landed. In such a competitive environment, Bell was dragged down by everyone because of one person. The team members below Bell were not anxious. Instead, they looked delighted. After ten more minutes, the audience in the live-stream was getting impatient. The man was finally mentally prepared. Just as the man was about to jump, Bell¡¯s voice came from behind. ¡°What¡¯s your name?¡± The man was stunned. ¡°Ped.¡± ¡°Peder? Good luck.¡± Bell smiled and said. Looking at Bell¡¯s smile, the man seemed to be agitated by something. He gritted his teeth and jumped out of the cabin. After more than ten minutes of mental preparation, everyone in the live-stream was shocked to see the man finally jump. ¡°I jumped!¡± Bell walked to the door calmly. She looked at the man below. Everything seemed to be going smoothly. However, as time passed, the man in the air clearly became flustered. He did not open the parachute for a long time. Seeing that they were about to reach the lowest drop, everyone began to realize that something was wrong. ¡°What¡¯s going on? Why didn¡¯t you open the parachute? Did the parachute break?¡± Chapter 167 - High Altitude Rescue Seeing that the contestant¡¯s parachute was not opened, the audience in the live-stream and the contestants who had already successfully parachuted realized the problem. The man was falling from three thousand meters in the sky. If he fell down without a parachute, the outcome was obvious. Everyone¡¯s hearts tightened. ¡°Bell¡¯s stream this time is not going well, a problem appeared right at the start?¡± ¡°Oh my god, I¡¯ve watched Wilderness Survival so many times, but I¡¯ve never seen such a thing.¡± ¡°Didn¡¯t this contestant say that he knows how to parachute? Why does he seem so new to it? He doesn¡¯t even know how to parachute.¡± Everyone in the live-stream was chatting fervently. The man in the air also realized that something was wrong. He panicked and kept shouting for help, but his voice was very soft in the air. Just as everyone thought that something might really happen this time, a huge commotion broke out. Bell jumped down from the cabin and shot toward the man like an arrow. Bell was so fast that no one could react for a moment. In the air, the two of them closed in at an extremely fast speed. Seeing Bell rush at him, the man was so happy that he wanted to dance with joy, but he could not maintain his balance in the air. ¡°Don¡¯t speak. Watch my actions now.¡± After stabilizing his balance, Bell helped the man up. He quickly checked the safety and opened the man¡¯s parachute. The huge parachute opened with a bang, and the man paused in the air. Seeing the man open his parachute, everyone heaved a sigh of relief. Bell also opened the parachute and landed successfully. Seeing that the two of them landed safely, everyone in the live-stream heaved a sigh of relief. ¡°Bell is awesome.¡± ¡°F*ck, you scared me. You can even save someone like this?¡± ¡°Wow, Bell¡¯s actions were so cool. If he were any older, I would have married him.¡± ¡°Previous poster, wake up. Even right now, you have to queue to apply for Bell¡¯s wife.¡± Seeing that the man was out of danger, everyone was relieved. The beautiful host heaved a sigh of relief when she saw this. If an accident happened right at the start of the show, they might really be in trouble. Seeing that the contestant was out of danger, the host sat down again. ¡°Looks like a small accident happened to our contestant just now. Fortunately, there was Mentor Bell to supervise from the side, thus preventing the danger.¡± ¡°Let me remind everyone. Wilderness survival is a very dangerous activity to begin with. If you encounter a situation that you don¡¯t understand, you have to ask in time and not be stubborn. Because this involves your own safety. ¡± The beautiful host said calmly. Everyone in the live-stream was booing. Clearly, everyone knew that the contestant had not listened to the instructor¡¯s advice, which led to this dangerous scene. ¡°Looks like Bell has encountered a few useless teammates.¡± ¡°Get lost, don¡¯t drag my Bell down.¡± While the broadcast room was still explaining the situation of the show, Bell had already successfully parachuted. With his excellent parachuting skills, although he only opened the parachute for a while, Bell still landed beside the man. At this moment, the man in the parachute was lying weakly on the ground with a face of fear, his body trembling. The other contestants also gathered around to check on the man. At this moment, Bell had already untied his parachute and stored a portion of it in his bag. ¡°Alright, everyone, gather. I have something to say.¡± Hearing Bell¡¯s voice, although everyone was unhappy with Bell, they still had to follow the most basic rules of a show. Under normal circumstances, they could not go against Bell¡¯s orders. After all, everyone had their own plans to use Bell¡¯s popularity to increase their popularity. If they directly disobeyed and made the viewers feel that it was unreasonable, it would not be worth it. Soon, all the members gathered, except for the man who was still limp on the ground. Seeing that the man had not recovered after so long, Bell smiled and walked to the man. ¡°How is it, Ped? Can you stand up by yourself?¡± The man trembled. He opened his mouth but was unable to speak. It made sense. Not everyone could accept such a thrilling thing. ¡°Now listen to me. Take a deep breath, exhale, relax.¡± After taking a few deep breaths, the man calmed down and struggled to sit up. ¡°Thank you, thank you. Thank you for saving me.¡± The man looked agitated. At this moment, he was no longer looking at Bell with disdain. Bell smiled. ¡°Alright, since you can stand up, let¡¯s return to the team first.¡± ¡°Yes, yes, Mentor Bell.¡± The man was now completely obedient to Bell. It was not that he was really respectful to Bell, but after that save just now, he really realized that if he wanted to survive in this wilderness, he had to listen to Bell¡¯s arrangements. Otherwise, he could easily lose his life here. He had come here to vie for fame and fortune like the others, but now, he was scared stiff. Fame or fortune was not important now. What was important was to survive. Soon, Ped returned to the team. The ten of them stood in a row, and Bell looked at the ten people with his hands behind his back. The few of them had serious expressions like soldiers waiting to be inspected. ¡°Let¡¯s not talk about what happened earlier. It was just an accident. However, from now on, we will be carrying out a real wilderness survival. From now on, maintain your current conditions. ¡°If you want to live in this territory, you have to listen to my arrangements. I will give you each a chance to question me. ¡°At the same time, I will try my best to ensure your safety.¡± ¡°But if some people keep trying to cause trouble on the show or think they are better than me, they can choose not to listen to my advice. Now, I¡¯ll give you another choice. Who wants to leave the team and move alone? Those who think they can complete the mission alone can move out by themselves. As long as you can complete the mission successfully, I will give you full marks for this show. ¡± At this moment, he was lecturing the contestants like a senior officer. The ten-man team looked at each other and finally fell silent. What a joke. They were here to freeload on Bell¡¯s popularity. If they left the team now, how would they use Bell¡¯s popularity? Chapter 168 - Point Elimination ¡°Alright, since no one has chosen to leave, I¡¯ll continue.¡± ¡°Firstly, there¡¯s no need to explain where we are. Apart from food, temperature is another major problem here. ¡°Moreover, due to this rough environment, the beasts here are more ferocious than other places.¡± ¡°We will now officially begin Wilderness Survival, but before that, as your mentor, I want to say something. ¡°Firstly, I have set a point system. This system is not present in other teams, but will be used in mine.¡± ¡°All of you have ten points in total. These points are useless to you, but in order to measure the degree of completion in this mission, I will use these points to calculate. The corresponding points will be deducted for every mistake. As for the number of points deducted, it will be determined by the severity of the mistake. After all the points are deducted, I will apply to the production team to eliminate the member.¡± Bell paused. The contestants looked unconcerned. So what if it was over? At worst, they could return and say that Bell was deliberately making things difficult for them and that his method was not professional. In any case, starting a rumor was easier than avoiding it. However, with Bell¡¯s next sentence, they could not be as relaxed anymore. ¡°Moreover, I will suggest to the production team to cancel the contestant¡¯s chance to participate in this show again in the future.¡± Everyone was shocked. Good lord, this was too extreme. Wilderness Survival¡¯s current popularity was very high. It could be said that this program had raised a top streamer like Bell. Its remaining traffic was enough to support more than a hundred A-list internet celebrities. If they were kicked out of such a good platform because of their own mistakes, wouldn¡¯t they regret it deeply? Although they were not sure if Bell had this ability or not, and they did not know if he was just scaring them, they did not dare to gamble. Seeing everyone¡¯s nervous expression, Bell nodded in satisfaction. Then, he looked at the team member who had failed to parachute. ¡°Ped, step forward.¡± The man stood up. Bell walked around the man. ¡°As one of the contestants in Wilderness Survival, you will receive the same treatment as them. You have ten points too. However, I need to give you an evaluation now. ¡± Everyone became nervous. The contestant who had urged Ped to stay quiet was even more nervous. He felt that Bell was probably looking for revenge. After all, this matter had happened because of him. But then, Bell said. ¡°Firstly, as a contestant of Wilderness Survival, you actually don¡¯t know any basic parachuting skills. This is clearly not okay. One point deducted.¡± With that, Bell looked at Ped. Although the other party looked a little pained, he did not retort. Bell was very satisfied. Bell continued. ¡°Secondly, you can¡¯t even tell if you¡¯re in a dangerous state. In the wilderness, it¡¯s a huge taboo to listen to others when it concerns your own safety. Another three points will be deducted.¡± Bell looked at the contestant who had deliberately caused trouble on the helicopter. Seeing Bell¡¯s gaze, the man quickly stepped towards the back. Bell did not pursue the matter. ¡°Because of these mistakes, a total of four points will be deducted. How about it? Any objections?¡± Bell looked at Ped. Ped looked distressed, but he shook his head. ¡°No, I¡¯m willing to accept the punishment.¡± After the rescue earlier, Ped¡¯s attitude towards Bell had changed drastically. ¡°Very good, your attitude has saved you a point.¡± ¡°You still have seven points left. I hope you can complete this wilderness challenge and not quit halfway.¡± Ped nodded and returned to the group. However, Bell noticed that Ped maintained a distance from the man who had chatted with him earlier. Do you think I can¡¯t take care of your petty tricks? Don¡¯t you like to cause trouble? Then I¡¯ll make everyone isolate you. Although Bell looked like an eight-year-old child, he was no stranger to these psychological methods. It was just that he was unwilling to show this side usually. If he wanted to lead a team, especially such a temporary team, the first thing he could do was not to let these guys be too united. He needed to split them up and let them work for their own benefits. Only then would they not be in the mood to work together to deal with him. In fact, from the moment Ped jumped out of the helicopter, Bell knew that there might be a problem with him. He had long been prepared to rescue him. His goal was to rope in Ped and open a gap in this team. Ped¡¯s actions proved that his plan was successful. Although he only controlled one person, this was a gap that could easily destroy this team. ¡®Looks like this Wilderness Survival won¡¯t be boring.¡¯ Bell thought to himself. After seeing that Ped had three points deducted by Bell, the other members felt distressed. They could ignore other things, but if they were kicked out of the show, this matter would be too serious. But Bell did not plan to give them time to discuss it. ¡°Alright, I¡¯m done talking. Now, we have to decide our path.¡± Looking around, Bell realized that they had landed on the back of a mountain. The Arctic Circle was in a polar night state. Their location was at the edge of the Arctic Circle. He looked around and saw snow-covered mountains. ¡°Our luck is good. We landed at a high point. In such a place, we have to first determine our location. Once we take the wrong path, we will head towards the center of the Arctic Circle, and the final result will be freezing to death there. But we don¡¯t have a compass. Logically speaking, we can rely on the sun to determine the direction. But this law does not apply in the Arctic Circle. ¡± Bell bent down and looked at the snow on the ground and the traces left by the snow. He smiled. Chapter 169 - Determining the Direction, Inland The camera in the live-stream zoomed in. There were obvious traces of the wind on the snow that Bell was observing. ¡°Look at these snow patterns on the snow. You can notice them if you observe carefully. These are snow marks formed by the wind here. In the Arctic Circle, most of the wind comes from the Atlantic ocean. 1 It is in the southwest direction of Alaska. Through this wind direction, we can tell that the snow patterns on the ground are facing the wind, which is southwest.¡± ¡°The direction we need to choose is to the southeast. It is an inland area. ¡°Therefore, we just have to keep walking with our backs facing the wind.¡± With that, Bell looked at the team. ¡°Put away your parachutes. They will be of use.¡± Seeing that Bell had easily determined the direction, the few members who had some petty thoughts felt upset. Bell ignored these people. After confirming the direction, he started walking down the mountain back. ¡°The current season is not the coldest, but even so, we are still in an environment of around -25 ¡ãC. This temperature already possesses some dangers.¡± ¡°I remember introducing a common phenomenon to everyone. I wonder if you still remember it. For every hundred meters that the altitude increases, the temperature will decrease by about 0.6 degrees Celsius. The temperature is quite low here, so the mountain should be quite high. It will only get colder at night. If you splash water on the ground, it will instantly freeze into ice.¡± ¡°Therefore, the most important thing now is to reach the ground or flatter surface. Otherwise, we will freeze to death tonight.¡± There were ten people in the group. Including Bell, there were eleven people walking in the snow. The audience was paying attention to the actions of the three groups. After all, it was not only Bell¡¯s team in this episode, but also Ed and Bear, the two seniors. The audience was also very curious who was better between the three. However, because the start was not good on Bell¡¯s side, they were slightly slower than the other two teams. ¡°Host, you have to hurry up. Ed and Bear have already begun to search for a way down the mountain.¡± ¡°All the best, host!¡± Although the few of them did not parachute together, the situation was not much different. They were all on mountain backs. After observing the terrain, Bell realized that the slope was not very steep. In order to save time, Bell chose to slide down the slope with his ten teammates. In less than ten minutes, Bell and the team descended nearly eight hundred meters. The slope had become smooth. They could not continue sliding. Bell stood up. He turned and looked at the team members behind him. ¡°Alright, we have reached quite low. The temperature has increased a little. It¡¯s time to continue. But before that, you are all professional survivalists. I need to consider your standards. Can someone tell me what we need to do in this situation?¡± Since Bell was going to be a mentor, he could not deal with all the issues. He had to give these contestants a chance to perform. A muscular man stood up. ¡°We need to keep moving because this is the only way to ensure our body¡¯s warmth.¡± ¡°Other than that, is there anything else?¡± Bell did not retort. Instead, he continued to ask. The man shook his head. The others did not speak. ¡°Alright, I understand. It seems like you are not familiar with this snowy environment. I¡¯ll explain to you first.¡± ¡°Firstly, if you want to explore a snowy environment like this Arctic Circle, I suggest you bring goggles. Because in this environment, it will take less than an hour for you to suffer from snow blindness. This snowy ground is like a mirror that will reflect ultraviolet rays into your eyes. You might not think much of it at first, but over time, you will realize that your eyes are stinging, followed by swelling and tears, and various other symptoms of being unable to open your eyes. ¡± ¡°But we haven¡¯t brought such a thing right now. After all, this is Wilderness Survival. It¡¯s impossible to prepare everything. Therefore, we need to use our previous parachute.¡± Bell tore off a small piece of the parachute from his backpack. It did not look dense, and Bell tied it around his eyes like a headband. ¡°Although this thing can block your vision slightly, it can also block a portion of the ultraviolet light.¡± Then, Bell turned to look at the member who had just spoken. ¡°Actually, what he said was not wrong. In this environment, we have to ensure that our bodies are constantly moving. Because it promotes our blood circulation and increases the temperature of our bodies. But this also raises the problem of the intense movement in severe cold draining our energy. And in this snowy environment, food is even more scarce than in the desert. This forms a vicious cycle. This is the reason why the Arctic Circle and the Antarctic Circle are very hostile to life. Fortunately, we are only at the periphery of the Arctic Circle. Some creatures can endure this harsh environment, such as the reindeer and snow fox. We might also see human traces here. They are the Inuits. They rely on hunting these animals to survive in this harsh environment. ¡± Bell explained seriously. The team members behind heard Bell¡¯s explanation. Although they looked like they did not care, they were secretly amazed. ¡®How does he know so much about various environments?¡¯ ¡®Damn it, there¡¯s no chance to show off by following him.¡¯ ¡®At this rate, won¡¯t we all be side characters?¡¯ The team members behind were thinking about how to find trouble with Bell and show their superiority. Bell saw their expressions and did not speak. Chapter 170 - Team Internecine? The comments in the live-stream kept floating. ¡°What kind of people are Inuit? Why haven¡¯t I heard of them before?¡± A question suddenly appeared on the screen. Seeing this comment, the eyes of the member who had played the trick on the helicopter lit up. Before Bell could speak, he volunteered. ¡°Inuit are actually Eskimos. They are Mongoloids, and not like the white people in this area. ¡± Seeing this member suddenly stand up, Bell was stunned. He turned around and saw that it was the troublemaker. Bell smiled. Seeing Bell¡¯s expression, the man was not afraid. After all, it was a question asked in the live-stream. What was wrong with answering it? Didn¡¯t Bell like to show off his knowledge? Then let¡¯s see what else he can say. ¡°Mentor Bell, I wonder if my explanation was right.¡± The man¡¯s eyes were filled with pride. Seeing the man stand out, many fans recognized him. ¡°Oh, isn¡¯t this Jack? His results seemed to be quite good in the previous few times in Wilderness Survival.¡± ¡°Yeah, I remember him. His results usually remain in the top three, but he didn¡¯t participate in the Wilderness Island Survival. If he participated, he might be able to pass like Bell.¡± ¡°That¡¯s right. This guy looks like a professional. He knows a lot.¡± ¡°So what if he¡¯s a pro? Isn¡¯t he under Bell now?¡± ¡°So what if Bell is a mentor? Maybe the production team just wants to use him as a gimmick. He might not even know as much as Jack. The question about Inuit was explained by Jack before Bell could say anything. ¡± The majority of the audience in the live-stream were Bell¡¯s fans. However, there were also people who felt that Jack¡¯s level was not necessarily worse than Bell¡¯s. Looking at the comments on the live-stream, Jack was very proud. A child was still a child. ¡®You want to show off in front of me? If you weren¡¯t the production team¡¯s gimmick, do you think you would really be qualified to be my instructor?¡¯ Jack thought scornfully. However, he did not show any flaws on his face. Instead, he looked at Bell and asked respectfully. ¡°Teacher, I don¡¯t know much about this. I wonder if you can add to it so that everyone can understand a little more.¡± Looking at Jack in front of him, Bell guessed his thoughts. This guy wanted to have an opportunity to bring him down. Bell really did not care about such a clown. Moreover, even if he tangled with him, it would only make him feel more smug. Bell thought for a moment and felt that there was no need to harp on this. ¡°You are correct. The Inuit are indeed Eskimos, and they look Asians as well.¡± ¡°However, this has nothing to do with us. The most important thing now is to hurry.¡± Bell was in no mood to harp on such a boring question. But his attitude made Jack¡¯s eyes light up, and he was secretly happy. Seeing that Bell was planning to avoid the question, how could Jack agree? He quickly said. ¡°How can this be a small matter? We¡¯re wilderness survival specialists, so we should know about the local customs and habits of the world. I know a little bit about this. As a mentor, you definitely know more than me. It¡¯s better to explain it to everyone. Everyone wants to know too. There¡¯s no need to hurry, right guys?¡± Jack smiled and turned to look at the other members. ¡°That¡¯s right, mentor. It¡¯s better to explain to everyone. We are also not familiar with this place. As a mentor, you must know much more about such an environment than us.¡± ¡°I agree. Everyone is tired. It¡¯s not a big deal to rest for two minutes.¡± The team members began to make noise, clearly wanting to see Bell make a fool of himself. ¡°That¡¯s enough. Remember what we said earlier about obeying the arrangements of the mentor? Are you guys rebelling?¡± While everyone was asking Bell to step forward and explain, Ped suddenly stood up and defended Bell. ¡°Ped, what do you mean? As students, we naturally have to ask our teacher questions. If our teacher can¡¯t answer them, what right does he have to sit in this position?¡± ¡°Yeah, can¡¯t we ask if we don¡¯t know? This is too domineering.¡± The few of them gradually became chaotic. Although Ped wanted to protect Bell, he was alone. The situation was getting more and more chaotic. Jack was very proud. This was the effect he wanted. ¡®Did he really think that it was going to be easy to be a mentor? The production team is also really stupid to send a child to manage us. Since you have made such a stupid decision, don¡¯t blame me for not being polite. If there is a chance, I will snatch all this popularity from you. This is just the beginning.¡¯ Jack thought to himself. Bell stood aside and did not speak. He only watched quietly as the members continued to argue. The live-stream was in an uproar. Some fans were reprimanding these members. These members were too rude and disobedient. Another portion thought that Bell was exposed. They still thought that Bell was just putting on a show. Therefore, if he were to lead a group of true survivalists into Wilderness Survival, he would not be able to continue acting. In the broadcast room, Li Ziqi broke out in a cold sweat when she saw this. When the station leader saw this situation, he frowned. They had expected this situation. As Bell¡¯s reputation increased, the doubts about him on the Internet gradually increased. At the same time, there were some contestants who were envious of Bell¡¯s reputation. These questions would be exposed in this show. But they did not know if Bell could withstand this series of tests. If he could survive this, Bell¡¯s reputation would definitely increase again, and there would be no doubts in the short term. But if he could not pass this obstacle, the reputation that Bell had accumulated would probably go to waste. Just as Ped was about to fight with the other members, Bell suddenly spoke. ¡°Enough! What¡¯s with the noise?¡± ¡°Are you rebelling? Are you preparing to leave this show? Are you guys still members of this group? If you are, shut up now.¡± Seeing Bell¡¯s anger, Jack smiled coldly. He had been waiting for this. Chapter 171 - Face Slapping in Front of Everyone Jack had not said a word. It was because he was waiting to see Bell lose his temper. If Bell showed his unreasonable side and anger, his fans would decrease greatly. Jack was using this opportunity to prove Bell¡¯s incompetence. He couldn¡¯t help but smile. Hearing Bell¡¯s question, everyone was stunned, and then fell silent. But the members who were forcing Bell to answer the question had a trace of disdain on their faces. The atmosphere froze. ¡°Actually, I think they are right. Since you¡¯re the mentor, you naturally have to explain what we don¡¯t understand. Why be angry?¡± Jack continued to fuel the fire. Bell turned to Jack. ¡°Do you think I¡¯m angry because of your question?¡± Jack did not speak, but his playful expression had already given a clear answer. ¡°You all think so too?¡± No one said anything, but the answer was clear. ¡°Hehe, good, good. Since you want to know, I¡¯ll explain it to you. However, let me put this first.¡± ¡°The reason I was angry earlier was that as a survivalist and even as a team member, you guys are not qualified. In my eyes, your performance is too bad. It made me feel ashamed.¡± Bell was not polite. Everyone in the scene could not keep their composure after hearing this. Even Jack was a little angry. He had thought that Bell would be angry, but he did not expect Bell to scold them directly. He actually said that they were useless. He had thought of just taking advantage of Bell¡¯s popularity, but now, Jack felt that he was too kind. Such a guy should be asked to get lost from this show. Jack made a decision. ¡°Hehe, Mentor Bell, I don¡¯t get what you are saying. Alright, let¡¯s hear how deep your understanding of this matter is.¡± At this moment, Jack was already thinking of falling out with Bell. As long as Bell could not answer this, he would take the members who had just been arguing with Bell and leave his control. This program could be announced to be over. It was hard to say what remarks Bell would receive online. Everyone turned to look at Bell. Bell was not flustered and walked to Jack. ¡°You just said that the Inuit are also Eskimos, right?¡± ¡°That¡¯s right, this is the information I¡¯ve checked before. Don¡¯t tell me you¡¯re going to make up something to deny me? There are so many netizens and friends watching.¡± Bell sneered. ¡°What are you laughing at?¡± ¡°I¡¯m laughing at your ignorance. The Inuit are indeed Eskimos, but don¡¯t show your pitiful knowledge in front of me again. If you encounter Inuit in the future, don¡¯t mention this term, because this is an insulting term. It is a racial insult. It is like some unfriendly people calling Chinese people ¡®cheena people¡¯. Moreover, regarding the fact that Inuit are Mongoloids, you clearly just went through a few articles and didn¡¯t investigate properly. The Inuit are Mongoloids, and their origins could be traced back to the Mongols. About ten thousand years ago, the Bering Strait was frozen into ice during the Ice Age. In order to survive, the Inuit passed through the Bering Strait and arrived in the Americas. In fact, the term ¡®Eskimo¡¯ was given by the indigenous people of the Americas. Its meaning is barbarians who eat raw meat. Therefore, don¡¯t mention this when you see Inuit in the future, or else no one will care if you are beaten up. ¡± ¡°As for why the Inuit chose to eat raw meat, it has to do with the living environment of their race. Fresh vegetables are difficult to grow in the cold Arctic Circle. There is a small amount of vitamins in the meat of animals, but once they are cooked, these vitamins will be lost. In order to ensure their health, the Inuit people would eat some raw meat every few days to replenish their vitamins. ¡± Bell explained everything. Then, he looked at Jack. ¡°Do you have any questions?¡± Everyone fell silent. Those who had said that he was just posing or did not know this knowledge in the live-stream had all disappeared. ¡°F*ck, the host is awesome. He actually knows such obscure knowledge.¡± ¡°Haha, didn¡¯t Jack show off that he knows a lot? I didn¡¯t expect the name he remembered to be an insult.¡± ¡°Typical. You only know the theory, but not the reason. Trying to show off with just a little knowledge. ¡± ¡°That¡¯s right, that¡¯s right. Look at how our Bell doesn¡¯t deliberately show off despite knowing so much. The difference between the two is obvious.¡± ¡°I love it. I¡¯ve become a fan.¡± The audience in the live-stream was full of praise for Bell. Jack also saw the comments in the live-stream, and his expression was very complicated. ¡°Damn it, is this guy doing this on purpose?¡± He had wanted to take this opportunity to attack Bell, but he became a stepping stone instead. Bell actually knew so much about it, and he even pointed out the flaw in his words. Instantly, the situation on the Internet changed. The fans who had praised him before became fence sitters. Now, all of them turned their guns and said that he was deliberately showing off without having any ability. It was like he went for the wool but came home shorn. ¡°Alright, it¡¯s time to rest.¡± ¡°There¡¯s no problem now, right? Let¡¯s go quickly. It¡¯s very cold here.¡± ¡°I¡¯ve already satisfied your curiosity. This is the first time, and I hope it will be the last. We¡¯re in the wilderness now. If you want to waste time on such meaningless things, you can stay here and tell stories all you want. Of course, that is if you haven¡¯t turned into an ice sculpture by the second day. ¡± No one dared to retort. Even Jack, who had been looking unconvinced, stopped talking. Ped approached cautiously. ¡°Bell, you¡¯re really awesome. Where did you gain this knowledge? Speaking of which, did you do wilderness survival before you came to the show? You¡¯re so young, can you teach me? We can come up with a team. ¡± After this series of events, Ped¡¯s attitude towards Bell had changed greatly. At this moment, Ped finally understood that it would be a joke if they wanted to deal with Bell. Instead, he might as well use this opportunity to side with Bell. Chapter 172 - Crevasse Ped, who had the intention of sucking up to him, was clearly more talkative. Along the way, he kept talking to Bell like a fan. Jack and the other members followed behind. Although Bell had the Frost Bloodline skill, it only increased his resistance to cold to a certain extent, and was not a complete immunity. Therefore, walking on this endless snow and being struck by the bone-chilling wind still did not feel good. Everything in the world seemed to disappear, except for the snow that kept falling. He was already starting to feel a slight hunger. In this environment, the energy consumption would be faster. His body needed to use energy almost constantly to resist the cold. ¡°I believe everyone is starting to feel hungry. Before tomorrow night, we have to walk for about sixty kilometers. There is a tree line there. ¡°Maybe we can find some food and start a fire to keep us warm.¡± Bell had calculated his location very accurately. This was a skill that was indispensable to survivalists. As the group continued to move inland in the southeast direction, their speed gradually decreased. The accumulated snow inland had turned into hard ice. On the other hand, the way to the inland was completely opposite. The snow was softer and thicker. Bell was short, and his legs almost sunk completely in the snow. The adults like Ped also didn¡¯t have it easy as their legs sunk till the calves. If they continued at this speed, they might not be able to complete the goal. The people in the team were already discussing. ¡°We have to walk 60 kilometers like this? I think it will be difficult to reach even halfway.¡± ¡°Instructor, you can¡¯t do this. It will be dangerous.¡± Although they had just been taught a lesson, they were still unwilling to obey Bell. But Jack was clearly much smarter this time. He was in no hurry to stand out and challenge Bell. He only watched silently. Bell also felt that this could not continue. ¡®If we continue like this, it will consume a lot of stamina.¡¯ Looking around, Bell saw a snow mountain in front of him. ¡°Follow me, move towards the snowy mountain.¡± Everyone was puzzled. They had just descended from a high ground, and now, they were going to ascend the snowy mountain again. Wouldn¡¯t all their previous efforts be in vain? Didn¡¯t Bell say that the higher the altitude, the lower the temperature? ¡°Alright, don¡¯t waste time. Since I said to follow me to that snowy mountain, I have a reason.¡± ¡°In this kind of place, such snowy mountains often have crevasses. There shouldn¡¯t be any accumulated snow there, and we can increase our speed.¡± Seeing that Bell had already said so, no one could retort. They could only follow behind Bell obediently. The snow mountain ahead was not high, estimated to be about 800 meters tall, but it was very wide, blocking their path. If they went around it, they would probably waste a lot of time. Bell advanced to the snow mountain. During the journey, he would pay attention to see if there were any cracks that crossed the snowy mountain. Ped looked at Bell and asked curiously. ¡°Mr. Bell, the snowy mountain is so big. How can you be sure that there will be a crevasse here?¡± Everyone pricked up their ears to hear Bell¡¯s answer. Bell said as he walked. ¡°It¡¯s very simple. No matter which snowy mountain it is, there will be large and small gaps in the ice. These gaps in the ice are usually formed by melting snow. Of course, it could also be a natural split in the ice. Although the temperature in the Arctic Circle has always been very cold, we are moving towards the inland after all. It is normal for there to be times when the temperature is higher, so crevasses are normal.¡± ¡°Look what¡¯s that?¡± Just as Bell was talking, he suddenly discovered a crack towards the left. He walked forward and carefully looked at it, and found that the crevasse was only ten meters deep and very narrow. It would be okay if he walked there, but for adults like Ped, they could only walk sideways. But this was not the key problem. The key was that Bell did not know how long this crevasse was. If the path broke in the middle of the snowy mountain, it would be difficult for them to return. They might fall into a dangerous situation. ¡°Bell, are we going through this?¡± Ped swallowed his saliva. His body was slightly muscular, so it was undoubtedly much more difficult for him to move in this narrow place. Jack looked at Bell and said sarcastically. ¡°Mentor Bell, this is not a wise decision. If this crevasse breaks halfway, we will all be in danger, and it will take a long time to return.¡± Jack was a professional survivalist after all, and he knew some of this knowledge. However, Bell could not be bothered with him. At this moment, Bell was carefully observing the ice on both sides of the glacier and touching it gently. Seeing that the ice on both sides of the glacier was smooth, Bell nodded in relief. ¡°It seems like our contestant Jack really doesn¡¯t have much experience in wilderness survival. As a survivalist, you have to know whether the environment is dangerous or not.¡± ¡°I¡¯ve already observed it. The ice on both sides of this glacier is abnormally smooth. This crevasse is not formed due to a glacier, but from melted ice and snow. In other words, this crevasse will definitely cover the entire snowy mountain.¡± Bell moved the camera closer to the glacier. ¡°Do you see this? There are obvious traces of water on the ice on both sides. If the glacier had naturally broken, it would not be as smooth as this. Most importantly, the snow at the bottom of this crevasse can be our foothold. It¡¯s not a problem for it to bear our weight.¡± Hearing Bell¡¯s explanation, everyone looked over and realized that it was indeed as Bell had said. ¡°Oh, that¡¯s true. In that case, we can really walk through this crevasse.¡± Ped looked surprised. Jack looked as if he had eaten dog shit. The most hateful thing was that after Bell explained, Ped even looked at him in disdain. Bastard! It¡¯s fine if I am looked down upon by others, but who do you think you are? You are not even a professional, why are you looking down on me? Jack was so depressed that he wanted to vomit blood. Bell put down his backpack. ¡°The next step is going to be slightly difficult.¡± Chapter 173 - Trapped in the Crevasse? Failed? Bell put down his backpack and took out the parachute. ¡°I told everyone to keep their parachutes. They will be of use in this situation. This crevasse looks to be about 12 meters deep. If we jump down, we might be injured, so we will use this parachute. ¡± Bell cleared the snow beside him. After clearing about 30 centimeters deep, solid ice finally appeared. ¡°Look here. This is the hard ice layer that is buried under the snow all year round. This ice is very firm, and we need to use it to stabilize our parachute. This way, we can go down smoothly. ¡± With that, Bell took out his dagger and began to cut the ice bit by bit. The other members also copied Bell¡¯s actions and began to dig the ice. Because it was sealed in thick snow all year round, the ice was extremely firm. Every time the dagger was cut into the ice, some ice would splash out, leaving only a small white spot. Bell had to increase his strength. ¡°These layers of ice are too hard, it seems like we need to spend more effort.¡± Half an hour passed quickly. Under everyone¡¯s continuous effort, about three centimeters long ice stumps finally appeared. They put away their daggers and hung their parachutes on the ice stumps. The parachute was sent to the crevasse like a rope. After pulling it a little and finding that it was firm enough, Bell nodded in satisfaction. ¡°Not bad, it¡¯s quite strong.¡± ¡°Check if your ice stumps are strong enough. If they are, we¡¯ll start moving down.¡± The members checked and found no problem. They began to descend with the parachute. They had thought that everything would go smoothly. But when they reached the bottom, an awkward thing happened. Previously, they thought that the bottom of the crevasse could let them move freely, but they did not expect it to be so narrow. Bell could move easily since he was small. But for adults like Ped, they were stuck inside and could not move. ¡°Sir, we¡¯re stuck here. We can¡¯t move at all.¡± One of the team members complained. Bell walked forward and found that these team members had indeed encountered some difficulty. ¡°How embarrassing. I estimated it based on my size. I didn¡¯t expect this would happen.¡± ¡°But that¡¯s okay. Take off your backpacks.¡± The audience in the live-stream naturally ridiculed Bell mercilessly when they saw him get into trouble. ¡°Haha, even the host makes miscalculations.¡± ¡°Such an awkward situation.¡± ¡°Sure enough, the host must have failed because of the students.¡± ¡°Pay attention, this is not called a failure. Look at Bell, isn¡¯t he fine?¡± As Bell¡¯s fans, not only did they not comfort him, they even mocked him mercilessly. Bell could not be bothered with these fans. ¡°Alright, follow my instructions.¡± Apart from Bell, the remaining ten people began to take off their backpacks in the narrow crevasse. They stuffed their parachutes in and raised the bags above their heads. Although it took some effort, they were able to move sideways. The team slowly advanced. After walking for about fifty to sixty meters, the crevasse gradually widened. Finally, they could walk normally and not have to walk sideways. The sunlight shone through the crevasse, reflecting a beautiful blue light. It was as beautiful as an aurora. Unfortunately, Bell and the others were not in the mood to pay attention to this scene, because the temperature in the crevasse was lower than outside. This crevasse was like a cold air vent. The cold wind kept blowing in, making one¡¯s scalp tingle. In the quiet crevasse, other than the sound of their footsteps, there was only the sound of breathing and water dripping from the ice. The atmosphere was terrifyingly quiet. The faint light from the live broadcast equipment gave the few of them some comfort. ¡°To be honest, if you have claustrophobia, don¡¯t come to such an environment. It¡¯s too uncomfortable.¡± After moving for half an hour, Bell acutely sensed that the path ahead was becoming narrow again. At the same time, they could hear the faint sound of wind. ¡°Did you hear the wind? This meant that we were not far from the exit. Let¡¯s hurry up. I really did not want to stay here for another moment. I feel like my ears are going to freeze off. I can¡¯t feel anything at all. ¡± The other team members also nodded quickly. Because the environment was too cold, they could not even be bothered to scheme against Bell. They had to leave this harsh environment first before they thought of anything else. With Bell¡¯s Frost Bloodline, he was much better off. The others did not have this skill, and the cold they felt was several times stronger than Bell. It was already very difficult to continue moving in this environment. As they continued to move, the crevasse gradually rose higher. If they walked upright, it would be difficult to stand firm. They could only crawl forward. The sunlight shone down from above. Seeing hope, Bell couldn¡¯t help but speed up. Of course, things did not always go as planned. Soon, a problem appeared. The exit ahead was extremely narrow, and the oval shape was less than 30 centimeters wide. With Bell¡¯s size, he might be able to get past it, but it would be difficult to say for the other members. Helpless, Bell could only take out his dagger again. ¡°Move back a little. We have a problem. There¡¯s a narrow hole here. We have to cut it open.¡± Ped looked forward. ¡°Mentor, do you need our help?¡± The current Ped was fully respectful to Bell. But Bell did not choose to let Ped help. ¡°No, this place is too narrow. If you come over, it will be inconvenient for the two of us to move. You will only affect me.¡± Seeing that Bell was preparing to cut the hole alone, Ped shook his head but followed Bell¡¯s order. On the other hand, Jack was gloating. In this cold environment, the more energy one consumed, the more difficult it would be to survive. Since Bell wanted to expend his energy, Jack naturally had no opinion. Bell ignored everyone¡¯s thoughts. At this moment, he had already begun to cut the hole. Chapter 174 - Building the Igloo Because this was the exit, under the influence of the wind, the ice was not as hard as the snow outside. It took Bell only a few minutes to expand the hole. ¡°Alright, follow behind me.¡± Although Bell was not tall, his temperament was revealed. He looked like a captain. He carried his backpack and rubbed his frozen face. ¡°I don¡¯t want to experience this again.¡± Although he complained, Bell had to admit that this crevasse had indeed saved him a lot of time. After leaving the crevasse, the ten-man team was already on the other side of the mountain. It saved them a lot of distance. With their previous experience, the few of them descended the mountain quickly. Bell looked up at the sun that was beginning to set. He shook his head helplessly. ¡°Actually, we haven¡¯t been moving for too long. We have already tried our best to save time. But because this is the Arctic Circle and it is in a polar night state, even though this is in the periphery, there is still some effect. The day is too short. We have to build a camp before it gets dark.¡± ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll assign the tasks to everyone now.¡± Bell turned around and looked at the people in the team. ¡°I know all of you have your own survival experience, so I won¡¯t explain further.¡± We need a shelter. It will drop to -25 ¡ãC after the sun sets, and lower further at night. The mission is to find a snow slope that backs the wind and build an igloo. Do you know how to do it? If you can¡¯t, you can ask me. ¡± ¡°Building the igloo requires a lot of energy, and it¡¯s difficult to finish it alone. You can split into two to three groups. How to arrange the team will be up to you.¡± The ten-man team looked at each other. Ped hesitantly approached. ¡°Mentor, can I apply to be in the same group as you?¡± ¡°Can¡¯t you build an igloo?¡± Bell asked with a frown. Ped scratched his head sheepishly. ¡°Sorry, I don¡¯t have experience in this environment.¡± Since Ped admitted it, Bell could not say anything else. ¡°Alright, then form a team with me.¡± Seeing that Bell agreed, Ped happily went to Bell¡¯s side. He looked at the other members like a bodyguard, making Bell speechless. The other members were also speechless seeing Ped¡¯s expression. It seemed that Ped was completely convinced by Bell. He really had no backbone. Did he forget what he was doing after receiving some small kindness? Didn¡¯t they say that they would destroy Bell¡¯s reputation? ¡°All right, is there anyone who doesn¡¯t have experience, other than Ped? Don¡¯t push yourself. You might think this is easy, but it can be very difficult if you don¡¯t have the experience. I don¡¯t want to lose some of you tomorrow morning.¡± But despite Bell¡¯s words, no one stood forward. ¡°Alright, let¡¯s start looking for a place.¡± The ten members dispersed, except for Ped. Bell began to search for a spot to build the igloo. Ped was like a little sidekick beside Bell. Bell looked at the comments in the live-stream and interacted with them. ¡°I saw some people asking questions about how an igloo can keep us warm? Shouldn¡¯t it be colder inside? Actually, this idea is wrong. The airtight igloo can block the cold outside. The reason why the environment is cold is mainly because of the cold wind. Secondly, this igloo has low thermal conductivity, it can prevent the heat from dissipating to the surroundings. Even in the middle of the night, when the temperature outside is -50 ¡ãC, this igloo can still maintain a temperature of -10 ¡ãC. Although the temperature is not high, at least it will stop us from freezing to death. ¡± While Bell was talking, Ped kept following him and even seemed to be pondering Bell¡¯s words from time to time. Soon, the two of them arrived at the back of a snow slope. Bell pressed the surface gently and found that the snow was solid enough. He put down his backpack. ¡°We have two people, so let¡¯s dig together. It should be bigger, about three meters.¡± Ped nodded. Because there were no tools, the two of them could only use their hands to dig. Fortunately, the accumulated snow was not too hard, so the two of them dug a three-meter square space in about half an hour. ¡°We need to solidify the snow with our body temperature, or it will collapse easily.¡± Although Ped felt that his hands were a little numb, he still followed Bell¡¯s instructions. After doing all this, Bell did not forget to seal the entrance to the igloo. After a while, the two of them finally had time to sit and rest. Looking at Ped whose hands were red from the cold, Bell smiled. ¡°How do you feel? Are you okay?¡± Ped held out his hand and smiled bitterly. ¡°I can¡¯t even tell whose hand it is.¡± ¡°This is normal. Just endure for a while and you will recover.¡± Ped nodded. ¡°The effect of sitting inside the igloo is immediately obvious. I can clearly feel that it¡¯s much warmer inside than outside. It is starting to get dark in the Arctic Circle. The temperature outside can really freeze a person to death, but we can sleep peacefully here. ¡± After sitting for a while, Bell felt exhausted. He took out his parachute from his bag and threw it on the ground. Then, he wrapped it around himself like a sleeping bag. ¡°The live broadcast for today will end here. We need to have a good sleep. When we wake up, it should be past the coldest period. We will then continue moving forward. I hope our luck is good tomorrow and we can find some food. ¡± With that, Bell closed the live-stream. He used his parachute as a sleeping bag and thought that he would be fine after sleeping. However, the two of them thought too simply. In less than an hour, the two of them realized that they were too cold to sleep. ¡°Mentor Bell, are you asleep?¡± Ped¡¯s voice sounded. Bell smiled bitterly. ¡°Maybe I would have fallen asleep already if you didn¡¯t disturb me.¡± Seeing that Bell was not sleeping, Ped smiled. ¡°Mentor, thank you so much for today.¡± Chapter 175 - Peds Little Scheme Bell smiled and got up. However, Bell did not say anything else. He only got up and moved his shoulders. ¡°Mentor Bell, you shouldn¡¯t have participated in this round.¡± Ped sighed, as if making a decision. Bell smiled meaningfully. But in this dark environment, Ped did not see it. ¡°Actually, this program was initiated by some of us survivalists to stir up public opinion. The goal is to attack you and Wilderness Survival. Therefore, this Wilderness Survival itself is very unfair to you. Moreover, I¡¯m sure that they will definitely make things difficult for you in the future.¡± ¡°Why are you telling me this?¡± ¡°?¡± Ped froze. What did he mean by saying this? Didn¡¯t he understand what he meant? ¡°You saved my life before. I can¡¯t watch you lose your reputation like this,¡± Ped said seriously. ¡°Just because of this?¡± ¡°¡­¡± Ped fell silent. He did not know how to answer Bell¡¯s question. Ped realized that the person sitting in front of him did not seem like an eight-year-old child at all. His intelligence was terrifyingly mature. Of course, it was not possible for Ped to tell Bell the truth just because of this. Ped had his own little scheme. Through the day¡¯s interaction, Ped realized that Bell¡¯s survival skills and professional knowledge were very strong. It would be a fool¡¯s dream to think that they could defeat Bell with just the few of them. They could only wait to be slapped in the face. Therefore, Ped made a decision. Since he could not defeat Bell, he would stand with him. While the other members were excluding Bell, he stood firmly beside him. This way, after Bell succeeded in survival, his reputation would increase too. Therefore, he had to make Bell feel conflicted about the other members. That was the idea he had after he thought hard. But Bell did not fall for it. It was just two simple questions that made Ped nervous. The other party seemed to have guessed his thoughts. The atmosphere was heavy inside the igloo. Ped did not dare to speak anymore, and Bell closed his eyes to rest. In fact, Bell had known from the beginning that Ped definitely had some ulterior motives. No matter how fast a person¡¯s transformation was, it would not be so fast. In just a day, he had changed from being resistant to being a lackey? This was simply impossible. After hearing Ped¡¯s words, Bell finally knew what he was thinking. This fellow looked honest, but he was actually quite scheming. But Bell did not care. ¡°I know all this.¡± He only gave a simple response and said nothing else. Ped was even more uncertain. Bell ignored Ped. The subzero temperature and the dark igloo made it difficult to fall asleep. After some thought, Bell decided to start the live-stream again. The live-stream opened again. Because it had been less than an hour since he closed the live-stream, there were not many users lost. Some of the audience who had just left hurried back after receiving the notification, thinking that something had happened. The number of viewers instantly soared to more than 30 million. Seeing this, Ped swallowed secretly. Good lord, this popularity was really high. Seeing Bell start the broadcast again, the comments became lively. With the help of the faint light, they could vaguely see the surroundings of Bell. Bell curled his lips and frowned. ¡°Everyone, we were a little too optimistic just now. Although the temperature here is much higher than outside, it is still too cold to fall asleep. My limbs are already freezing. If only we had a fire to keep warm. ¡± Seeing Bell¡¯s teeth chattering from the cold, the audience in the live-stream looked delighted. ¡°Haha, host, the most important thing is to be happy.¡± ¡°It¡¯s so hot here. Can someone tell me how to reduce the heat?¡± ¡°Host, let me tell you a good method. The human body¡¯s conditioning is determined by the brain. You can hypnotize yourself and say that you¡¯re very hot now.¡± ¡°Hahaha, my heart aches for the host.¡± Bell¡¯s face twitched when he saw the comments. Humans¡¯ emotions were indeed different. Bell was already moving his limbs. Although this might consume his energy, if he did not do this, the problem would be even more serious when the temperature fell to a certain point. Although his Frost Bloodline helped withstand a portion of the cold, Bell felt that something would probably happen to him if he sat there for the entire night. ¡°I once heard of a story. It was an exploration team. They passed through Siberia and entered the Arctic Circle, but unfortunately, they encountered a snowstorm and lost all their resources. At night, the few of them could only stay in an igloo to warm themselves like what we are doing now. However, when they woke up the next morning, they realized that their limbs were deeply frostbitten. Bell said as he moved his limbs. ¡°In fact, in such a cold environment, even if you rely on eating snow, you can survive for a while. However, when the rescue team found this group of people, these people were already frozen to death. In the end, there was only one lucky survivor and he had entered hypothermia. Fortunately, he was able to survive. However, because of the deep frostbite in his hands and feet, he had to amputate them to avoid infection. ¡± Bell looked at Ped. ¡°If you don¡¯t want to encounter such an outcome, I suggest you move like me.¡± Ped was stunned. He was still thinking about the words Bell had said to him. After Bell¡¯s reminder, Ped reacted. His limbs were almost numb from the cold. He did not dare to delay and quickly began to move. After moving around for a while, Bell took out the water in his canteen and found that he had already drunk it. Bell stuffed some snow into the canteen and put it in his jacket. ¡°Now, we need to prepare for what might happen next.¡± ¡°Do you know what I¡¯m doing?¡± ¡°If you have watched the previous episodes, you should know what I am doing now.¡± ¡°Our main problem now is to ensure the temperature of our bodies. This method is related to the story I just told.¡± Chapter 176 - Discovering the Reindeer ¡°We have to ensure our body temperature in the wild. In the story just now, the reason why those few people froze to death was actually because they ate snow directly. This will quickly consume the heat in his body. The correct method is to melt the snow in the canteen with the temperature of my body. Don¡¯t think that this is a trivial matter. In this environment, every detail can save your life.¡± The night was unbearable, and the cold was making things difficult. Bell could only chat with the viewers to pass the time. The time difference between Fairbanks and Beijing was 22 hours, and Bell was currently in the Arctic Circle which happened to have a difference of 24 hours. Seeing the audience say that it was time to prepare for work and school, Bell realized that the night had already passed. He kicked aside the snow blocking the entrance, and light entered the igloo along with the cold wind. Without comparison, there was no harm. Bell thought it was already quite cold in the igloo. But when the entrance was opened, he realized that the inside could be considered warm in comparison. However, it was not the time to be troubled about this. After putting away his parachute in the backpack, Bell called for Ped. It was time to move. The two of them walked out of the igloo. The morning temperature was very low, only around -20 ¡ãC. He called the other team members over through the chat and gathered them. Then, he checked their conditions. Their conditions were not bad other than being lethargic and listless due to not getting sleep. With the reminder from the comments, they kept their limbs moving, so they did not get frostbites. ¡°Not bad, congratulations on passing the first night in the Arctic Circle.¡± After a day and night of tossing and turning, the few contestants in the team were not in the mood to scheme anymore. Their minds were also pushed to the limits. ¡°Alright, let¡¯s continue heading southeast today.¡± ¡°Cheer up. We¡¯re doing a show.¡± Seeing everyone looking listless, Bell scolded. Everyone perked up. ¡°Our goal today is to reach the tree line before nightfall. When we get there, we can start a fire. I know everyone is hungry, but it is because of this that we need to complete this goal faster.¡± As a mentor, Bell had to encourage the team from time to time. Soon, the ten-man team set off again. They walked till noon. Bell did not know how far he had walked, but something in front of him made his eyes light up. Not far away from him, there was a dead white birch tree standing in the snow. Bell quickly walked forward and patted the white birch tree, smiling. ¡°Hehe, do you see this? This is the first plant we saw in the Arctic Circle. The appearance of this tree is not simple. It means that not far ahead is the tree line we are looking for. In the wilderness, you have to understand how to give yourself a belief. Otherwise, survival will be very difficult. This white birch tree has such an effect right now. ¡± Seeing hope, everyone felt better and their footsteps became faster. It was better to have a goal than aimlessly moving forward in the snow. This was simply too despairing. The snow under their feet had become much thicker, reaching past their knees. It became even more difficult to move. ¡°I just saw someone ask why the snow below the snow mountain is thicker than above. The reason is simple. It is thanks to the sea breeze. It keeps blowing inland. The snow will slowly fall from the snowy mountain and accumulate here.¡± Bell bent down, grabbed a handful of snow, and brought it to the camera. The snow in his hand was loose. ¡°Do you see that? This snow is not sticky at all. It¡¯s like powder.¡± Time passed slowly. Bell and the others walked for another few hundred meters. In this environment, although it was only a few hundred meters, it was still very difficult. But hope often appeared at this moment. Bell was surprised to find a path about half a meter wide on the snow ahead. After careful observation, Bell confirmed the footprints on the path. ¡°These should be the footprints left by reindeers. Look at these footprints. They look a little like a pair of boots. The feet of the reindeer are like this. Such large feet can let them walk on the soft snow like it is flat ground. ¡± He felt the snow inside the footprints. ¡°Looks like the footprints are fresh. This reindeer must have passed by here not long ago.¡± ¡°If we can capture one, the food for ten people will be taken care of.¡± Bell salivated at the thought of food. The eyes of the team members beside him lit up when they heard that there was food. The comments in the live-stream were booing. ¡°As expected, this is still the food show I know.¡± ¡°Reindeer, run. Bell is here.¡± ¡°F*ck, Bell¡¯s gaze was so scary.¡± ¡°Host, is it possible to tame a reindeer and use it as a mount? Won¡¯t this save a lot of effort?¡± Bell filtered out the indecent suggestions in the live-stream. Thinking that he would be able to eat hot roasted deer meat soon, Bell suddenly felt a surge of energy. ¡°Now, everyone, pay attention to your steps.¡± ¡°Stay behind me and don¡¯t make a sound.¡± These guys who had been hungry for a day and night nodded. The most important thing now was to get food. They did not have the mood to go against Bell. If they alarmed the prey, they would have to starve together. The few of them followed the footprints on the snow for another hour. Finally, they saw a few dead white birch trees and ten or so reindeer. The reindeer were using their hooves to push aside the thick snow and search for moss and dry grass buried under the snow. Gulp ~ Bell swallowed. He lowered his body. ¡°There are a total of 13 reindeer here. They shouldn¡¯t be able to discover us at this distance, but we can¡¯t continue to approach. Because we¡¯re in the upwind, our smell will blow in their direction. Once they get our smell, they will immediately escape. We need to go around to the downwind and launch a surprise attack.¡± Chapter 177 - Failure in the Hunt After making the plan, Bell gestured to the people behind him. The members of the team also understood Bell¡¯s meaning. After making a detour, they finally arrived 200 meters away from the reindeer group in the downwind. They lay on the thick snow to hide their figures and carefully observed these reindeer. After confirming that the reindeer had no intention of leaving, Bell turned around and said softly. ¡°Move to the left and right. If you see that I didn¡¯t manage to grab it, try your best to stop it.¡± ¡°We are too far. I have to get closer.¡± ¡°Are you going to grab the reindeer with your bare hands?¡± The members of the team looked at Bell in disbelief. Although they had heard that Bell was very good at hunting, they did not expect him to be so amazing. This was a large mammal that was much stronger and faster than an adult. Bell only smiled. ¡°Looks like you guys have not watched my stream before.¡± ¡°Cooperate with all your strength. Spread out to the left and right. Don¡¯t get too close lest you are discovered.¡± ¡°If I fail, block them for a while. If we don¡¯t capture one, we will not have a feast tonight.¡± Seeing Bell¡¯s confident appearance, Jack curled his lips. His heart was filled with disdain, but he did not speak. He did not believe that Bell could succeed. In fact, he wanted to see Bell make a fool of himself. After instructing everyone, Bell began to quietly approach the reindeer group. Under the intense situation, he finally covered a distance of about 50 meters. At the same time, the reindeer who were eating with their heads lowered seemed to sense that something was wrong. Their animal instincts made them feel danger. They stopped eating and began to look around. Seeing this, Bell knew that this was the closest he could get. He could not wait any longer, or else if anything happened, these reindeer would immediately escape. At the thought of this, Bell shot out of the snow like a cheetah and charged at a slightly thin reindeer. At the same time, the Wilderness Hunter skill was activated, and that vigorous power surged out again. However, although Bell was fast, the result was not satisfactory. The thick snow prevented him from moving quickly. On the other hand, the reindeer were like a race car. After being frightened, they had already run dozens of meters. Seeing this, Bell could only give up. The team members wanted to stop these reindeer, but the situation was the same. It could not be helped. The snow was the home ground of these reindeer. They were born to adapt to this place and could run freely on the soft snow without any restrictions. This was the result of countless generations of evolutions. It was not something Bell could easily make up for. ¡°Everyone, I¡¯m sorry to say that we failed. Perhaps because I was too hungry, I was a little irrational. There is an iron rule in Wilderness Survival: Before hunting, you have to consider everything thoroughly. ¡± The surrounding team members surrounded him. Everyone could not help but look disappointed. ¡°Didn¡¯t Mentor say that you can capture the prey? Why did it fail?¡± Although they did not obtain food, Jack was still in a good mood. He had seen Bell in the limelight along the way, and he had finally seized the opportunity. Moreover, because of their hunger, everyone was very excited. Their hope was clearly in front of them, but it was gone. This made everyone collapse. After hearing Jack¡¯s words, everyone present looked at Bell again with a trace of dissatisfaction. Bell looked at Jack. ¡°Are you blaming me?¡± ¡°Hehe, we wouldn¡¯t dare. You¡¯re a mentor, so how can we blame you? We¡¯re just a little disappointed.¡± Although he said he did not dare, the expression on Jack¡¯s face told Bell that he was deliberately provoking him. Bell was really unwilling to pay attention to such clowns. Just the fact that he could ask such a question was enough to prove that he was an amateur, even though he had a certain amount of wilderness survival knowledge. Even the native wild creatures could not succeed in hunting every time, let alone this environment that was not friendly to humans. However, before Bell could speak, Ped stood up and pointed at Jack¡¯s nose. ¡°Jack, stop being so sarcastic. I really wonder if you are a survivalist. Everyone knows that any hunt can fail, so why should the responsibility be placed on Bell alone? ¡°Moreover, I saw those reindeer running in your direction. Weren¡¯t you also not able to stop them?¡± ¡°W-What do you mean?! I did everything he said, and now you¡¯re blaming me?¡± Jack pointed at Bell angrily. Everyone seemed to be arguing. ¡°Enough!¡± Seeing that the situation was about to worsen, Bell shouted and interrupted the two of them. All eyes focused on Bell as he walked to Jack. At this moment, Bell had the aura of a superior. Jack¡¯s gaze met Bell¡¯s and he couldn¡¯t help but retreat. ¡°What¡­ what are you trying to do?¡± For some reason, although Bell was very small, he gave Jack a dangerous feeling. But Bell did not attack. Instead, he walked to Jack and stopped. ¡°You seem to be very unhappy with me?¡± Bell¡¯s tone was calm. Jack looked at Bell and wondered what Bell meant by this. He thought for a moment and nodded. ¡°That¡¯s right, I admit that you do know some knowledge about wilderness survival, but that¡¯s all. You¡¯re not qualified to be our mentor. ¡°Even I can walk out of here alone.¡± Since he had already said it, he could prepare to make things clear. The live-stream was in an uproar. They did not expect such a situation to occur. Bell scanned the group. ¡°What about you guys? What are your thoughts?¡± There was no anger in Bell¡¯s tone, only calmness. However, even so, no one responded. He roughly understood everyone¡¯s thoughts. ¡°Alright, I understand. I¡¯ll make a decision. From now on, Jack, you can do this program as a mentor. If someone is willing to follow you, you can form a team. If you can complete the survival challenge before me, then the role of the spokesperson for Wilderness Survival will be yours. I, Bell, will also admit that I am inferior to you. How is it? Do you dare to bet?¡± Chapter 178 - The Bet, Parting Bell said resolutely. Everyone was shocked. The stakes were not small. It had to be known that the popularity of Wilderness Survival was very high, and as the spokesperson of this program, Bell occupied most of the traffic. It could be said that whoever became the spokesperson would reach success in a single step. Hearing Bell say such a thing, Jack was delighted. After waiting for such a long time, he finally had the chance. ¡°Is what you said true? As long as I can complete the challenge before you, you will take the initiative to give up your identity as the spokesperson for Wilderness Survival?¡± ¡°That¡¯s right. With so many netizens watching, is there a need to lie to you?¡± ¡°Hehe, alright, let¡¯s take a gamble. I want to see if you¡¯re really as good as what the Internet says.¡± ¡°Who wants to follow me?¡± With that, Jack prepared to rope in people from the team. After all, it was convenient to do many things with more people. It could save a lot of time. But before he could finish, Bell interrupted him. ¡°Wait.¡± Hearing Bell¡¯s words, Jack jumped and turned to look at Bell warily. ¡°Why? Are you regretting it now?¡± Bell sneered. ¡°Since it¡¯s a gamble, I can¡¯t be the only one betting. You have to bet something too. There is no free lunch in this world. ¡± Jack¡¯s expression changed. ¡°What do you want?¡± ¡°Hehe, there¡¯s really nothing that I would covet from a guy like you. Why don¡¯t we do this? If you lose, you can publicly admit that you had ulterior motives in the program and slandered me. Moreover, you can help me prove the authenticity of this program¡¯s recording.¡± Jack looked at Bell with a gloomy expression. If he really admitted to this matter after losing, his reputation would be completely ruined. But after thinking for a while, Jack finally nodded. ¡°Alright, I agree.¡± Jack had no choice. This was a rare opportunity to compete with Bell. If he won, it would be a meteoric rise. Of course, if he lost, he would basically be out of this circle. Seeing Jack promise, Bell nodded in satisfaction. ¡°For the sake of fairness, you can choose your team members as well as mine. Otherwise, people might say that I¡¯m faking it. ¡± Jack¡¯s heart sank. ¡°Damn it, why is this fellow so thoughtful?¡± Jack had thought that even if he lost, he would refuse to admit it and say that there was something fishy about this. But if Bell let him choose, he would not be able to say that, Because whether it was the bet or the team members, he had the freedom to choose. Looking at Bell¡¯s evil smile, Jack knew that he had to carry out this bet even if he did not want to. ¡°Hmph!¡± Snorting, Jack began to choose his team members. He chose a few contestants who were on good terms with him. Then, he pushed the other contestants to Bell. Of course, there were only two people in Bell¡¯s team. Ped was very close to Bell these days. Jack did not want to keep this time bomb with him, so he threw it to Bell decisively. The other was a relatively thin man who looked a little subservient. Clearly, he was a burden in this environment. The remaining seven members were all selected by Jack! The audience in the live-stream booed when they saw this. ¡°F*ck, this is too shameless. He asked you to choose, but you only left two for him. Why don¡¯t you just take all of them away?¡± ¡°This fellow can actually participate in Wilderness Survival. Doesn¡¯t the production team have any requirements on the contestant¡¯s character?¡± ¡°Ban him! He has to be banned!¡± ¡°There¡¯s no way to compete. With so many people, he can do things much faster. This is simply cheating.¡± The live-stream was in an uproar, but Jack ignored these things. When he really won against Bell, these voices would slowly fade away. Bell rolled his eyes. ¡°Are you sure you want to choose these people?¡± ¡°That¡¯s right. After all, Mr. Bell, you¡¯re a mentor. You should give us some handicap, right?¡± Jack took it for granted. Seeing Jack¡¯s shameless appearance, Ped wanted to punch him, but was pulled back by Bell. Bell smiled at Jack. ¡°There¡¯s no problem with you taking these people. Then let¡¯s see who succeeds first. The production team¡¯s live broadcast equipment are always on. They will serve as witnesses.¡± ¡°We can split up now.¡± ¡°Dear viewers, this is an emergency situation. Please be witnesses to this competition.¡± Bell did not say anything. Instead, he accepted this unfair condition and turned to look at the live-stream. At this moment, the live-stream was filled with scolding towards Jack. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, Bell. We will definitely testify for you. Teach this arrogant fellow a lesson and let him know what the king of the wilderness is.¡± ¡°That¡¯s right. Bell has us as witnesses. If he dares to go back on his word, we¡¯ll get him out of the Internet.¡± ¡°Bell¡¯s fan club reporting.¡± Seeing that everyone was in high spirits, Bell smiled. With that, Bell turned and walked in another direction without even looking back. The decisiveness of his actions made Jack feel a little uneasy. Could this guy still have some trump card? Seeing Bell leave, Ped glared at Jack before chasing after Bell. As for the thin man who was kicked out by Jack, he hesitated for a moment and finally followed Bell. Ped caught up with Bell. They were already some distance away from Jack and the others. He asked Bell, puzzled. ¡°Mentor Bell, why did you agree to make a bet with such a bastard and give him so many members?¡± Ped was indignant. He had thought that Bell was a smart guy, but it seemed like he had placed a wrong bet. There were so many people with Jack, so they would definitely be much faster than his side. It seemed like Bell would definitely lose. Ped was really upset. However, he had already stood on Bell¡¯s side. It was too late to regret now. Bell turned and smiled. ¡°You¡¯re quite smart. Trust me when I say this, your fame will soar after this show.¡± Chapter 179 - Fishing in the Ice Lake and Building an Igloo Ped opened his mouth, but he did not say anything. Now, Bell¡¯s team only had Ped and the thin man. There were three people in total. Although the number of people had decreased, the speed of their advance was much faster. They quickened their pace and soon arrived at the tree line. This was not a place name, but a geographical phenomenon. In the range of the Arctic Circle, there were no trees. Most of them were mossy plants. However, there were some plants growing outside the Arctic. The area where these plants grew densely was called the tree line. It was like the dividing line between the Arctic and the inland of Alaska. After passing through this place, it would be Alaska. Because of the delay with Jack, it was already two in the afternoon when they arrived. The trees on the way became more and more dense. At the same time, the snow on the ground became heavier. The three of them quickly passed through a white birch forest, and a flat area appeared in front of Bell. Looking at this area, Bell was excited. ¡°Hey, everyone, we found a lake. However, it is covered by a thick layer of ice. Such lakes are common in the Arctic Circle. Moreover, due to the climate, it will only thaw for a few months every year. The rest of the time, it will be covered by ice like now. ¡± ¡°The lake in front of us is not small. It looks to be more than ten kilometers wide. It is already two in the afternoon. Crossing this lake now is not too likely. For safety¡¯s sake, we will build a suitable shelter in this white birch forest. However, the good news is that if this lake is used properly, we should be able to get some food. The dried trees in the white birch forest can also be used to start a fire to prevent us from being attacked by the cold.¡± Bell put down his backpack and took out his dagger. He cut a few strips of fabric about five to six meters long from the parachute and held them in his hand. ¡°We don¡¯t have any tools. We can use this cloth as a fishing line. If we¡¯re lucky, we should be able to catch some rainbow trout and northern lampreys.¡± These are both cold water fish that usually move under the ice. ¡± As he spoke, Bell looked around and found a few branches. He sharpened the thorns with his dagger and tied a parachute rope around it. The fishing tools were ready. Ped and the thin man also copied Bell. Because no one was disturbing them, the operation went very smoothly. They each made two fishing rods. However, although the fishing rods were completed, they were missing something. Bell looked around. ¡°We need a decent bait.¡± Suddenly, Bell focused on a dead white birch tree in the distance. He walked forward and stabbed the dagger into the tree bark, then cut it. After a while, they finally found a few squirming insects. ¡°Are we going to use this as bait?¡± Ped leaned over. ¡°That¡¯s right. If it were any other time, I might treat them as food, but I think we should use them to get bigger prey.¡± ¡°Moreover, the three of us won¡¯t fill our stomachs with these little worms.¡± Ped breathed a sigh of relief. Although he had also done wilderness survival before, he had mostly relied on some leaves to survive. He did not think he could eat insects raw. But before participating in the show, Ped had watched Bell¡¯s show and knew his style. He knew that eating insects raw was nothing to Bell. He thought that he would probably encounter it today, but he did not expect there to be a turn in events. ¡°Alright, don¡¯t just stand there. If you want to have something to eat, it will take some more effort.¡± Bell threw the insect to Ped. ¡°Come on, dig a few holes so we can start fishing.¡± With Bell¡¯s demonstration, the three of them spent ten minutes creating several fist-sized ice holes. They could put the hook and bait in. Bell did not wait there directly. Instead, he used the snow to seal the hole. ¡°The goal is to avoid the hole from freezing again. We just have to wait here patiently, but we can¡¯t just sit here forever. I have to finish building the shelter during this time. ¡± Bell fastened the fishing pole to the ground to prevent the fish from taking the bait and dragging the pole into the water. Then, Bell began to consider the shelter. It was impossible to build an igloo like the one they made on the snowy mountain. Firstly, it was impossible to use to get any warmth. Secondly, the snow here was not as hard as on the snowy mountain. Once it was built, it would most likely collapse. After thinking for a long time, Bell decided to build an igloo like the one the Inuit lived in. In this kind of igloo, they could start a fire and keep themselves warm. They might even be able to increase the temperature to zero and above. This was already very rare in this kind of situation. Many people believed that the temperature in such a house made of snow could not exceed zero degrees. This would cause the snow to melt and the house to collapse. But in fact, this was a misunderstanding. There were three main aspects to heat transmission: radiation, transmission, and convection. Once a fire was started in the igloo, the temperature would indeed melt the snow on the surface, but the ice did not transmit heat, so the heat would not penetrate the ice and completely melt the igloo. Once the outside of the igloo was lower than -50¡ãC, the ice would condense before it could melt. As for radiation, the white ice shell in the igloo would reflect the heat emitted by the fire. Under these factors, the igloo could still maintain a high temperature of zero degrees Celsius. Human¡¯s creativity was truly amazing. After arranging everything, Bell found a relatively empty area. ¡°We need to dig a snow pit first.¡± ¡°Because there are three of us now, the snow pit needs to be slightly bigger, about three meters in diameter.¡± Ped and the thin man joined in. The two of them knew that they were students, so they did not dare to slack off on Bell¡¯s instructions. More than half a meter of snow accumulated to the side. The few of them dug all the way to the ground before stopping. Bell found a few long wooden sticks and stabbed them into the snow, forming a triangular roof. Then, he took out his parachute. After cutting the ropes and putting them back in the bag, he opened the parachute and placed it on the roof. Chapter 180 - Bow Drill Fire ¡°With the parachute, our igloo can be sealed tighter, and it can increase the temperature.¡± Bell explained to everyone while doing his work. After laying the parachute, he piled a thick layer of snow on it. The three of them worked together for half an hour more before the simple igloo was finally completed. From a distance, this igloo looked like a small snow slope in the snow, but it was a different world inside. Bell was very satisfied with his work. He looked at Ped and the thin man beside him. ¡°You guys don¡¯t have the habit of snoring, right? I didn¡¯t sleep well yesterday.¡± Ped smiled awkwardly. ¡°Can I ask you a question?¡± ¡°What question?¡± Bell was puzzled. Did something happen to this guy again? Ped scratched his head awkwardly and said. ¡°Where is the entrance of this igloo?¡± ¡°¡­¡± Everyone was stunned. Even the audience in the live-stream forgot to comment. But as everyone reacted, the live-stream exploded in laughter. ¡°Hahaha, Bell also has times when he messes up. He actually did not make a door when making the igloo.¡± ¡°Is this a joke? This face-slapping is too fast.¡± ¡°I can¡¯t take it anymore. Ped¡¯s silly look clearly says that he knew about this, but he trusted Bell too much and felt that Bell had other arrangements. In the end, he was screwed over.¡± ¡°Can someone tell me why the Inuit doesn¡¯t leave a door open when they build the igloos?¡± ¡°Previous poster, I¡¯m an Inuit. I testify that we leave a door.¡± ¡°Stop fooling around. Maybe the host just wants a program effect.¡± The comments in the live-stream exploded. Bell looked embarrassed. He had really forgotten about this. He ignored the comments in the live-stream. After a while, he dug another path in the snow. It led straight to the igloo. ¡°Alright, our construction is not bad. The cold air sinks. Therefore, the tunnel we dug can contribute to the warmth of the igloo to a certain extent. ¡± ¡°Now that the house is built, it¡¯s time to gather some firewood.¡± It was very easy to find dried branches in the white birch forest. Soon, the three of them gathered a large pile. ¡°In our current environment, because of the dry air and the extreme low temperature, the water in the air will freeze and be quickly eliminated, so it¡¯s easy to ignite these branches.¡± Walking into the igloo, Bell cut off a large piece of white birch bark with his dagger. ¡°This is a very good incendiary. The white birch tree is rich in oil and is the best choice to start a fire. Everything is ready. We¡¯ve been busy for so long. It¡¯s time to see if any fish have taken the bait. If we¡¯re lucky, we should be able to eat fish.¡± Hearing Bell mention food, Ped and the thin man licked their lips. They had not eaten for a day and night, and were extremely hungry. The three of them quickly arrived at the fishing hole. Bell first pulled up one of the lines. Unfortunately, no fish took the bait. Helpless, he could only put it back. Then, Bell pulled another line, and this time, it was different. He pulled again and felt the rope pull down forcefully. After sensing this situation, Bell immediately pulled the fishing line up. There was a fish about 30 centimeters long on the hook. Bell held the fish in his hand and raised it to the camera. ¡°Looks like our luck is good. This is a rainbow trout. It¡¯s very beautiful, but I don¡¯t care about that now. I want to know how it tastes. ¡± Bell gained something, and the thin man and Ped did not return empty-handed. It seemed like there were a lot of fish in this lake. The thin man was especially lucky. He actually caught two fish, one of which was big. Their gains were enough to fill their stomachs tonight. With food, the few of them felt at ease. At the same time, the sky began to darken. It was not even five o¡¯clock, but because it was the Arctic, the day was shorter. The three of them returned to the igloo with the fish. With food in hand, they were much more relaxed. Ped was even more impressed with Bell this afternoon. The other party¡¯s survival skills could be said to have reached perfection. Ped asked himself if he could even survive a day in such an environment. But Bell still persisted for a day and night without food. Moreover, he used all the resources in the environment. They even got fish to eat tonight. This was simply too extravagant in the wild. ¡°Alright, students, it¡¯s time to teach you something useful.¡± Relaxed, Bell made a rare joke. Ped and the man smiled and did not care. Because of Jack and the others, everyone had gradually forgotten that Bell was their mentor. Bell took out a large piece of white birch bark, the one he had torn off earlier. After tearing them all apart, he found two more branches. ¡°Because of the fish, my hands are a little frozen.¡± ¡°In this situation, I can¡¯t move my hands and feet properly. Neither drilling wood to start a fire nor using the fire saw method will work right now. The chances of failure are too high. But someone might have noticed that I had taken off the parachute¡¯s ropes. Then, today, I will show everyone a new way to start a fire which is the bow drill method . The advantage of this method is that we don¡¯t have to wear our fingers too much. It doesn¡¯t require much flexibility. ¡± ¡°First, you have to have a branch that can be bent, like a bow. Tie the rope to it like this. This is how the name bow drill fire came about. It is like a bow. ¡± Bell placed the bowstring in front of the camera in the live-stream and showed it to everyone. Then, he handed it to Ped and the thin man. ¡°Observe carefully.¡± Ped looked at the bow and was puzzled, not knowing what to do. ¡°Don¡¯t tie the rope too tightly, because we have other uses for it.¡± ¡°Wrap the rope around a tree branch. Remember, just wrap it around it twice.¡± Bell moved his hands as he spoke. After wrapping the tree branch, Bell stepped on a piece of wood and placed the tree branch on it. His other hand used a tool to stabilize it and began to pull the bowstring back and forth. Chapter 181 - Satisfaction ¡°Actually, this method of starting a fire is very simple. It doesn¡¯t require any meticulous technique. As long as your hand speed is fast enough, there is a high chance of success. Moreover, if you don¡¯t have a rope, you can use some tough vines to replace them.¡± As Bell¡¯s actions continued to speed up, the tree branch tied to the bowstring was also spinning rapidly. In less than a minute, wisps of green smoke rose from the groove in the branch. Seeing the smoke, Ped and the thin man were very excited. Bell also quickened his actions. Finally, after working for a while, black smoke and some sparks flowed out of the groove. Seeing this, Bell quickly stopped and carefully poured the ashes into the white birch bark. After blowing a few more times, As if igniting the oil in the white birch, a ball of fire finally rose. After adding the thin branches, the fire gradually became bigger, and the fire finally rose in the igloo. Looking at the fire, Bell fell to the ground and smiled. Ped and the thin man also looked impressed. ¡°Bell, you¡¯re really amazing.¡± ¡°How is it? With this fire, we can finally sleep in peace today.¡± Bell¡¯s hands gradually became agile. ¡°Alright, we have to deal with tonight¡¯s food now. I¡¯ll leave this to our two team members. Remember not to break the internal organs, or the taste will be much worse.¡± The two of them did not refuse. Bell had been teaching them how to do things for most of the day, but they were not of much use. Seeing that they could finally help, they naturally did not stay idle. ¡°By the way, take out your canteens.¡± Bell did not plan to grill all the fish. Instead, he prepared to cook a portion into fish soup. He took off the lids and filled the canteen with snow. He placed it on the fire. The fire quickly boiled the water. Ped also cleaned the fish they had caught and emptied their internal organs. He cut the fish into small pieces and threw them into the pot. The water gradually boiled over the fire. ¡°We¡¯ll use this rainbow trout to make fish soup. Its meat can increase the blood circulation of the human body. Drinking a bowl of fish soup in this weather will make you feel warmer.¡± The three of them looked at the fish soup and grilled fish and licked their lips. Hunger made it difficult for them to wait. However, the fish soup was not cooked yet. No matter how anxious they were, they had to wait for a while. Bell took the opportunity to take off his shoes. ¡°Take off your shoes. The blood circulation in the feet of the human body is the fastest. Warming them can quickly restore body temperature. ¡± The sky outside was gradually turning dark. Because of the fire, the temperature in the room was only -5 ¡ãC. Moreover, as the heat slowly spread, the temperature would increase again. With the support of the Frost Bloodline, Bell could have a good sleep without a problem in this temperature. The canteens on the fire gurgled. At the same time, the rumbling of their stomachs sounded. The three of them immediately came to their senses. The smell of fish soup spread throughout the igloo. Bell took the tree branch and moved a canteen away from the fire. He blew gently. After eating the hot fish soup, he instantly felt like he had ascended to heaven. In this environment with a temperature of -20 ¡ãC, he endured his hunger for two days. Suddenly, the conditions became better, and he had hot fish soup. It was simply awesome. Seeing that Bell had already picked up the fish soup and was eating, Ped and the thin man carefully took out their canteens of fish soup. The three of them had gained enough fish. Each person could enjoy two bowls of fish soup and a large grilled fish. It was a rare meal in the wild. Picking up a piece of hot fish meat, Bell stuffed it into his mouth eagerly. The garlic-like fish meat only took two small bites before disappearing. The fish soup turned into a fresh taste that stimulated Bell¡¯s taste buds. Then, he picked up the grilled fish and tore off a piece. A satisfied expression appeared on Bell¡¯s face. ¡°To be honest, I didn¡¯t like to eat freshwater fish in the past. But today, my view has changed. In this environment, although this fish soup tastes fishy and not particularly delicious, it is the best food I have ever eaten. Because it can save my life. ¡± Bell drank another mouthful of fish soup. Everyone in the live-stream looked at Bell. ¡°Haha, it¡¯s time for Bell¡¯s food program again.¡± ¡°His mouth is not honest, but his body is very honest. This fish meat seems like it tastes better than the pork shoulder in my hand. ¡± ¡°Haha, why does Bell feel like he has become more artistic recently?¡± ¡°How is it only recently? Doesn¡¯t he feed us comforting words from time to time?¡± The people in the live-stream said jokingly. While everyone was chatting, the canteen of fish soup had been finished by Bell. At the same time, the grilled fish was also almost finished. Ped and the thin man also finished the food in their hands. A grilled fish and two bowls of fish soup were not little, but this was their only meal for two days. After filling their stomachs, the three of them felt their bodies warm up. ¡°How do you feel?¡± Ped nodded, ¡°I feel much better now. It is really difficult to imagine that we survived in such an environment. It¡¯s all thanks to you, Bell. ¡± The two of them looked at Bell gratefully. Bell only smiled and said nothing. He spread the extra branches on the ground and lay on them, feeling the temperature of the fire. Bell slowly closed his eyes. ¡°This feels really comfortable. Today¡¯s live broadcast will end here.¡± He did not rest well yesterday. He had to have a good sleep today. ¡°If the audience in the live-stream is interested, you can chat with the team members beside me for a while. I¡¯m going to sleep first.¡± With that, Bell went to sleep after throwing the camera to Ped and the thin man. Seeing that Bell had handed the control of the live-stream to him, Ped revealed a trace of excitement. This was a good opportunity to increase his reputation. Previously, Bell had said that he would make him famous, but he did not expect this to be true. Chapter 182 - Making Snow Planks Ped, who was holding the camera, looked excited. Even his sleepiness dissipated. Looking at it, there were more than 60 million people online. Ped gasped. Good lord, the number of people on his live-stream was not even a fraction of Bell¡¯s. The difference was too great. Seeing that the host had changed, the audience¡¯s interest clearly decreased. However, because the live-stream was not closed, everyone was chatting idly. ¡°Brothers, I went to see the team led by Jack.¡± ¡°Previous poster, are they doing a live broadcast too? How is it? Is there any hope of winning?¡± Hearing someone mention Jack, some of the audience who had been watching were very interested. ¡°They have many people and are fast, but they haven¡¯t found food yet. They haven¡¯t succeeded in starting a fire either.¡± ¡°F*ck, the difference is too great.¡± ¡°Hehe, look at Bell and Jack. The difference is obvious.¡± ¡°As expected, a mentor is a mentor.¡± ¡°That¡¯s right. I just returned from Bear and Ed¡¯s live-stream. Their situation is also very good. They are efficient with their actions, but food seems to be a problem. From the looks of it, Bell¡¯s side is barely on par with Ed and Bear, but Bell¡¯s mental state is the best. ¡± After all, this was a wilderness survival competition, so the audience subconsciously compared Bell to Ed and Bear. They wanted to see who was better among these survival experts. But this time, it was unfair to Bell because his own team members wanted to drag him down. Ped and the tall thin man looked at the comments on the screen and chatted with everyone from time to time. But soon, their eyes fell droopy from the exhaustion and sleepiness. In the end, they said goodbyes and fell asleep. Early in the morning. Bell slowly opened his eyes. When he looked again, the fire had been extinguished. However, because the igloo could retain heat, the temperature remained around zero degrees. With the help of the Frost Bloodline, Bell had a good sleep. Ped and the thin man were not up yet. Looking at the two of them, Bell ignored them and climbed out of the igloo alone. The moment he came out, the cold wind made him shiver. Bell walked to the lake where he had put the baits. He was preparing to check if there were any new gains on the fishing lines. However, after pulling the fishing lines up, he realized that there were no worms on the hooks, but there were no fish either. Bell shook his head. ¡°Our baits have been eaten. Unfortunately, the fish did not take the bait. I guessed that the lamprey ate them. Its mouth is slender, and it can¡¯t swallow the hook directly. Therefore, it eats slowly. Looks like I won¡¯t have the luck to drink hot fish soup today. ¡± Bell stood up. He came to the tree where he had found the worms. After a long while, he finally found a few white larvae. Bell picked up a larva and moved it to the camera. ¡°Do you see this? Eighty percent of these little larvae are made up of proteins. Although they are a little small, they can still replenish some energy for us. In this cold environment, the body will consume a lot of heat every moment, so if you have a chance to replenish your energy, don¡¯t let it go. ¡± Bell did not stand on ceremony. He picked up a few worms and ate them. Immediately, an explosive feeling exploded in his mouth, accompanied by the unique smell of soil. Bell could only comfort himself. ¡°Crunchy chicken taste.¡± Seeing Bell¡¯s pained expression, the audience in the live-stream could not bear to watch. ¡°Bell is Bell after all. He has always been so fierce.¡± ¡°Eating worms raw.¡± ¡°I won¡¯t dare to eat chicken again.¡± ¡°Haha, did you guys notice that everything tastes like chicken to Bell?¡± ¡°Drop it in egg mixture, cover it with bread crumbs, then fry till golden brown.¡± The comments in the live-stream kept teasing Bell. After eating a few insects, Bell stopped. He held the remaining worms in his hand and returned to the igloo. At this moment, Ped and the thin man had already woken up. They were stunned when they saw Bell return and quickly got up. ¡°Sorry, we slept too soundly.¡± The two of them shook their heads as they stood up. Bell did not care and spread his hand to place a few worms in front of them. ¡°This is our breakfast.¡± Looking at the squirming worms in Bell¡¯s hand, Ped¡¯s expression collapsed. ¡°Don¡¯t we have any other choice?¡± Ped asked Bell. Bell shrugged. Seeing this attitude, Ped knew that he could not avoid it this time. He carefully picked up a larva and placed it in his mouth. He bit down hard. Then, there was the sound of vomiting. ¡°As expected, this is a normal reaction.¡± ¡°Haha, although I can live by teaming up with Bell, sometimes I will choose death.¡± ¡°My heart aches for the team member.¡± To Bell¡¯s surprise, the tall and thin man was very calm. Although his expression was still painful, he insisted on swallowing the worm. This was quite a determination. After some mental preparation, the two of them finally finished their breakfast. Bell glanced at the igloo. ¡°Because of the melting snow, the parachute is already firmly attached to the igloo and can¡¯t be taken out.¡± Bell had no choice but to give up on his parachute. After leaving the igloo, Bell returned to the lake and prepared to cross this ice lake. ¡°The snow around this tree line is too thick. ¡°We better think of a way. Otherwise, our speed will be too slow.¡± In the morning, Bell had already seen the comments in the live-stream. The other members had already surpassed him. Although Bell was not worried, he had to be prepared. If he was really surpassed by these newbies, it would be really embarrassing. Bell looked around and finally focused on a very thick dead tree. The three worked together to cut this dead tree. ¡°Now, we need to use this dead wood to cut out a few wide wooden planks and tie them to our feet. This can increase our contact with the snow and save us a lot of effort. We won¡¯t sink as deep as before. ¡± ¡°Just like the reindeer we encountered before, their feet are very big, so their speed is not affected in this snow environment.¡± Chapter 183 - : Life and Death Crisis, Cold Lake Water Bell¡¯s hand was not idle. Ped and the man also took out their daggers and used them as axes. The three of them worked for half an hour and finally made a few wooden boards that they could step on. After using the dagger to cut the two wooden planks about 15 centimeters square, Bell tied them to his shoes with the parachute rope. He tested them and realized that the effect was not bad. Because of the increased contact area, the few of them did not have to walk too deep on the snow. It saved them from having to use a lot of effort to lift their legs. Bell smiled. ¡°To be honest, the effect is much better than I thought. Although it took us some time to make this thing, I believe that with this thing, our speed will at least double. In that case, we have profited. Alright, it¡¯s time for us to move forward.¡± The three of them walked on the lake like they had a limp. Although it was a little funny, their speed was indeed much faster. The lake was nearly twenty kilometers long. It would have previously taken Bell four hours to walk. However, the three of them were near the edge of the lake in less than two hours and saw the forest opposite. Because they were walking on the frozen lake and there was nothing blocking their view, their vision was very wide. In addition, they had a full meal yesterday and were in good spirits. ¡°Look at that forest. As long as we successfully step into that forest, we will officially enter inland Alaska. The deeper we go, the higher the temperature will be. However, this is not necessarily good news, because some large predators will also appear when the temperature increases. For example, the brown bears and black bears that live in Alaska. The population of the black bears here is the largest in the whole world. It is one of the larger bears. Male black bears can reach 2.5 meters tall and weigh 300 kilograms. ¡± ¡°There are many black bear attacks in North America every year. It is the same for the brown bear, although the cases of brown bear attacks are much lesser. However, no matter what, I am unwilling to encounter it. In front of such a big guy, I will probably be slapped apart. During this season, brown bears and black bears will come out to hunt because they need to store a lot of fat in their bodies to survive the cold winter. Let¡¯s be more careful. ¡± Bell gestured for the audience to keep quiet. The audience seemed to be there themselves. They could not help but feel nervous. As the few of them advanced, Bell felt the snow under his feet decrease, and the ice became thinner. He could even hear creaking sounds when he stepped on it. It was the crisp sound of the ice being unable to withstand the weight of a human body. Crack ~ Crack ~ A crisp sound of ice cracking sounded under Bell¡¯s feet. The three of them became nervous and did not dare to move. This sound was not a good sign. This meant that the ice under their feet had cracked. If they continued forward, they might fall into this bone-chilling lake. Bell¡¯s brows furrowed. ¡°Did everyone hear that? That¡¯s the sound of the ice on the lake cracking. This proves that there is an undercurrent in the lake below us. If it were just the still lake water, the ice would not be so fragile. We are less than 300 meters away from the other side, but we cannot continue forward like this. Otherwise, we will definitely fall. ¡± Just as they were about to cross the lake, they encountered this situation. Bell was in a bad mood. Ped and the thin man did not dare to act rashly. They were all survivalists and knew very well what the consequences would be if they fell into this ice lake. The sun had just risen, and the temperature was still around -20 degrees. If they fell into the lake, they would probably become human popsicles. Bell was in an awkward situation. He could not move forward, but he could not retreat either. Because the cracked ice under their feet seemed to have reached a critical point. Once they focused their strength on one foot and moved forward, the sudden increase in weight would immediately cause them to fall into the lake. ¡°Our current situation is very awkward. If we fall into the lake in this temperature, the chances of survival are less than 20%. ¡± Bell looked at the camera in the live-stream and said solemnly. ¡°I remember that an explorer from America once encountered a river in the Arctic Circle. This guy placed his hand in the river for only 30 seconds. When he took his hand out again, it was already numb from the cold. The little finger on his hand was seriously frostbitten. In order to not worsen the situation, he could only cut off the little finger. ¡± Bell glanced at Ped and the man behind him. Then, he estimated the distance. If he ran at full speed for 300 meters, he should be able to pass the first 200 meters before the ice sank. But he could not cross the remaining hundred meters no matter what. Because the ice there was thinner. More importantly, there was Ped and the thin man behind him. While ensuring his safety, he had to ensure their safety as well. Bell turned to look at the two of them. ¡°Tell me, how is your running speed usually?¡± Seeing Bell¡¯s serious expression, Ped and the man looked at each other. ¡°It is average.¡± ¡°Listen to my command. The three of us will run in different directions. If you¡¯re ready, take off your clothes. ¡± ¡°After you fall into the water, you have to swim ashore within fifty seconds. Otherwisea€|¡± Bell did not continue, but the two of them understood what he meant. Seeing Bell¡¯s expression, the two of them knew that this matter was very serious, so they did not dare to delay. This was the only path they had. Bell nodded, and the three of them began to take off their clothes. ¡°We have to quickly cross this lake. But we are 300 meters away from the shore. At our speed, we will definitely fall into the water. In this -20¡ãC environment, if we don¡¯t wear clothes within two minutes of reaching shore, we will suffer deep frostbite. I don¡¯t have to say much about the outcome of that. ¡± Bell explained as he took off his clothes, but his actions were very light. He was afraid of breaking the ice under his feet and falling into the ice early. Instantly, the atmosphere in the live-stream became tense. Chapter 184 - : The Story Is a Lie ¡°I¡¯m very nervous right now. Normally, in such an environment, the human body will secrete a large amount of adrenaline to stimulate the nerves. It can be considered a natural protective mechanism, but this adrenaline will not last for long. It will last for three minutes at most. Ordinary extreme sports enthusiasts will also call these three minutes golden time. I can already feel my body entering this state. ¡± At this moment, Bell, Ped, and the other man had already taken off everything other than their boxers. As for their clothes, they stuffed them into their backpacks. The backpack had a certain waterproof function. In addition, it would only be in the water for a short time, so it should be able to ensure that the inside was dry when they reached the shore. Their bodies started shivering due to the cold. Bell glanced at Ped and the thin man. ¡°Are you ready?¡± The two of them said nothing and nodded. ¡°Three.¡± ¡°Two.¡± ¡°One!¡± As Bell¡¯s voice fell, the three of them were like arrows released from a bow. They rushed over with a bang. Moreover, because of the impact, the ice under their feet instantly shattered. Fortunately, the three of them had already left their original positions. The shattered ice began to spread in all directions. Running at full speed, Bell felt a warm current in his body. The adrenaline in his body was constantly stimulating his nerves. He was getting closer and closer to the shore. The three of them were not slow. After all, this was a life and death situation. No one dared to pause. Bell ran till he was about dozens of meters away from the shore. Seeing that the ice was not broken, he was delighted. It would be best if he could reach ashore without falling into the water. However, the next second, there was a thud. The ice under Bell¡¯s feet shattered and he fell into the lake. Instantly, the cold lake water enveloped him. Endless cold began to enter his body through his skin. Bell immediately activated the Wilderness Hunter skill. Warmth rose in his body again. He used all his strength and did not dare to waste any time as he swam towards the shore. For a moment, Bell was like a big fish in the water, constantly twisting his body. The shattered ice on the lake was ruthlessly knocked away. When he fell into the ice, Bell was about 70 meters away from the shore. It took Bell less than fifty seconds to crawl out of the lake. A cold wind blew, making him shiver. Coming ashore from the ice water made Bell feel even colder than in ice water. Of course, this was an illusion. Bell quickly put down his backpack and changed into his clothes to barely regain some warmth. But even so, his limbs had become a little stiff. He could not even bend his fingers. He looked at Ped and the thin man. Ped was not lucky. When he was less than 70 meters away, he fell into the water. Fortunately, his survival instinct made him struggle and swim up. The thin man was very lucky. He kept running, but the ice below him did not shatter. The three of them were safe. Bell heaved a sigh of relief. ¡°My limbs are already numb and I¡¯ve completely lost feeling. This is actually the human body¡¯s self-protection mechanism. In an extremely cold situation, the blood will automatically retract from the limbs into the body to protect the most important organs and ensure the most basic need for survival. But now, we have to let the blood flow again. Otherwise, we will soon freeze to death.¡± While Bell was talking to the viewers, Ped and the thin man had already arrived beside Bell. Ped and Bell¡¯s conditions were not much different, while the thin man was clearly in a much better state. The three of them could not care less and immediately began to do push-ups on the ground. The few of them moved very quickly. In just ten or so seconds, they had done dozens of push-ups. After doing all this, they felt some feeling return to their limbs. Clenching his fists, Bell heaved a sigh of relief. Seeing that the three of them were out of danger, the audience in the live-stream was relieved. ¡°Alright, everyone, we have to find a place to start a fire and dry our shoes and socks. Otherwise, our feet will freeze soon. If such a thing happens, the chances of survival will be greatly reduced. ¡± The situation was urgent, and Bell did not dare to delay. He carried his backpack and led Ped and the thin man into the forest. This was a forest of pine and white birch trees. The snow on the ground had already become very thin. In order to maintain his consciousness, Bell jogged and chatted with the audience in the live-stream. ¡°I wonder if you¡¯ve seen the Academy Award-winning film, The Revenant? If you have watched it, you should know that this is a movie adapted from a real life event.¡± ¡°When the fur industry first rose in the 19th century, many hunters came to Alaska to obtain rich rewards because there were a large number of brown bears, Arctic foxes, and black bears here. The fur of these animals could provide huge profits. It was also in this era that a hunter became a legend in Alaska.¡± ¡°The story is very simple. A group of fur hunters came to this mountain range to hunt black bears, but unfortunately, one of them was attacked by an Alaskan brown bear that night. That brown bear was very cruel. It beat the hunter until he was on the verge of death. But fortunately, the brown bear did not choose to eat him. ¡± ¡°But when the companions saw that he was seriously injured, they thought that he would not survive. They abandoned him and left with the supplies.¡± ¡°In the cold environment, his legs are deeply frostbitten and he lost the feeling in them.¡± ¡°But a person¡¯s will can¡¯t be underestimated. Even in this environment, this hunter still dragged his dead legs and lived on this land for three months and survived.¡± Bell¡¯s tone suddenly changed, ¡°To be honest, I admire his luck. In this environment, he dragged his legs and crawled around with less than a kilometer per hour speed and survived. Moreover, this mountain range is hundreds of kilometers long.¡± Chapter 185 - Black Bear, Cave, Snare Everyone thought that Bell was going to tell an inspirational story. Unexpectedly, the mood of the story changed halfway. This stunned the audience. Bell continued, ¡°This mountain range is hundreds of kilometers long. Let¡¯s not talk about how his willpower was, just in this mountain range, there are hundreds of brown bears and black bears. In addition, there are also coyotes. In this wilderness, no matter which one he encounters, he will definitely die. But he survived, so it¡¯s not an exaggeration to say that he was really lucky.¡± ¡°In the wild, we don¡¯t dare to gamble on this luck. Once our legs lose their ability to move, our deaths are basically certain.¡± The audience fell silent after hearing Bell¡¯s words. Just as Bell had said, it was really too lucky for the character of The Revenant to survive. No one knew what to say. While talking, Bell and the other two had already arrived at a relatively flat place. They gathered some dead branches and took out the bowstring he had made yesterday. Soon, a fire was lit again. At this moment, the three of them already felt like their feet were gone. They took off their shoes and socks with great effort and felt that their feet were like iron, completely numb. Bell rubbed his feet for a while and felt the long-lost temperature before heaving a sigh of relief. They only needed to wait for their shoes and socks to dry. Leaning on the ground, Bell¡¯s expression softened. ¡°Looks like we escaped death. However, we cannot not let down our guard yet. The day is less than seven hours here. We have to make good use of every minute. In fact, we can only use four hours a day to travel. The remaining three hours need to be used to build a shelter and find food. Don¡¯t try to walk at night here. Because the temperature here drops sharply at night. Trust me, that is definitely not what you want to experience. Just stay at the shelter at night. ¡± As the flames in the fire kept jumping, white smoke came out of their shoes and socks. After drying for half an hour, after the socks and shoes stopped producing water vapor, Bell touched them gently and found that they were already dry. He wore them again, and a warm feeling swept through his body. He felt much better. ¡°Alright, everyone, there are still two to three hours before nightfall. We need to find a suitable shelter while traveling. ¡± Let¡¯s go. Are your shoes and socks dry?¡± He turned to look at his team members. Ped and the man nodded. As time passed, there was very little snow on the ground. Most of it was lush green plants. This proved that the direction Bell was going was correct. They were indeed heading inland. ¡°We can clearly feel that the surrounding temperature is gradually increasing. It¡¯s not as cold as before.¡± ¡°This is good news.¡± The light in the forest was dimming. They knew that this was a sign that night was coming. But Bell had yet to find a suitable place to make a shelter. Suddenly, Bell¡¯s eyes lit up. ¡°Look there!¡± Following Bell¡¯s gaze, they saw a cave beside a large tree. He walked over with Ped and the man and carefully observed it. ¡°This should be a cave used by black bears for hibernation. As for why it¡¯s not a cave of brown bears, brown bears are larger. This cave can¡¯t accommodate them.¡± After throwing a few stones and confirming that there were no black bears in the cave, Bell carefully walked in. Walking into the cave, the three of them realized that the space was quite large. They could lie down comfortably. Most importantly, it was very dry here. It was not as cold as outside. ¡°This cave is a very good shelter. Moreover, in this dry environment, we just need to find some weeds to lay on the ground and we can have a good sleep. However, we still have to take some protective measures. We have to light a fire at the entrance. Although it is not the time for the bear to hibernate, it is hard to guarantee that this black bear will not return. Therefore, we have to take precautions. ¡± The three of them were very happy to have a shelter. After putting down their backpacks, Bell led the two of them to search for weeds. However, this place was gradually approaching the inland. The plants were more lush, so weeds were not common. Fortunately, Bell discovered something else. It was some dead moss. Bell carefully dug a hole. ¡°Look, these mosses can also replace weeds. Although these guys don¡¯t look much, they are one of the earliest beings on Earth. It was because they provided a large amount of oxygen to Earth that the animals began to evolve. Without them, Earth would not be where it is today. ¡± The three of them quickly returned to the cave and laid the moss on the ground. They realized that it was quite warm. This was an unexpected gain. After gathering some more firewood, Bell returned to the cave. After a while, he took out the parachute rope from his backpack. ¡°We have already resolved the problem of the shelter, but the problem of food is still not resolved. While there is still some time, I will try to create a few traps. If I can capture some prey, it will be perfect. I won¡¯t say much about the use of the rope. I believe everyone has seen its use in my past Wilderness Survival stream.¡± ¡°We need a strong rope to make the trap. Now, make a noose. Remember, don¡¯t make it too big. If it¡¯s too big, the prey will pass through it.¡± As he spoke, Bell¡¯s actions were not slow. He had already made a trap. Bell showed the rope snare in his hand to the live broadcast. ¡°Everyone, look at this. As long as the size of the rope is like this, it will be fine. Now, we will tie the other end of this rope to that tree.¡± Chapter 186 - Making Trap Bell did not stop moving. ¡°You have to be careful when making this trap. It¡¯s best if this trap can float about ten centimeters above the ground. Because this distance is the height of some small mammals. It can ensure that when these small creatures pass through here, their heads will pass through the trap. Under the stimulation of the outside world, as long as these prey struggle slightly, the rope will tighten.¡± Bell picked up two more branches. He stabbed it into the ground. He tied the rope around the tree branches. ¡°This way, the noose can be suspended in the air. If you want to try to create such a trap and increase the success rate, I suggest that you put some nuts or mushrooms nearby. With the temptation of food, the success rate of capture will increase greatly. ¡± Bell quickly finished making the trap. Ped and the thin man followed suit. Under Bell¡¯s guidance, they successfully found two suitable places and set traps. The few of them set up traps in various places. They only stopped when they finished using the parachute rope. ¡°The more traps we set, the higher the chances of us capturing prey. I believe everyone knows this. In this environment, other than observing the prey¡¯s trajectory, the only way to obtain prey is to spread the net. In fact, whether you can successfully capture prey in the wild depends largely on your luck. However, we are already unlucky enough today. I believe it is time for our luck to shine. After all, our luck has already reached the bottom, it has nowhere to go except up now. ¡± The audience in the live-stream was amused. Bell¡¯s eight-year-old cute appearance and the occasional comforting words made him look inexplicably funny. While chatting, Bell returned to the cave with Ped and the man. The sun had already set, and the surroundings had darkened. Before long, Bell and the others¡¯ vision would be severely hindered. However, the night in the Arctic Circle was not completely dark like other places. Instead, it was accompanied by a beautiful aurora. In fact, many tourists took a plane to Fairbanks every year to appreciate the scenery. But Bell was not in the mood. Because after dark, the surrounding environment would drop to -10 ¡ãC. Instead of admiring the aurora outside, it was better to hide in the shelter and have a good sleep. Only then could they ensure that they could travel further tomorrow and have a higher chance of survival. He started a fire. The three of them immediately hid in the cave. The fire brought them a comfortable temperature. Of course, it would be perfect if their stomachs did not rumble. Leaning against his backpack, Bell gently fiddled with the fire to make it burn brighter. ¡°It¡¯s quite interesting. We¡¯re actually hiding in a black bear¡¯s cave. It has to be said that these black bears are indeed good at finding caves. In Alaska, these black bears will find a suitable cave for themselves before winter arrives. After storing energy, they will hide in the cave and not come out for the entire winter to survive the cold. Although these black bears look silly, we can always believe in the choices of nature¡¯s creatures.¡± ¡°Alright, everyone, let¡¯s stop here for today. I¡¯m already exhausted. I wish myself a good sleep. We have an even more difficult mission tomorrow.¡± As night fell, fatigue began to attack them. Because he had fallen into the ice lake and consumed a lot of energy, Ped was in no mood to continue the live broadcast. While Bell was talking, Ped was already snoring. The night passed peacefully. The next day, Bell and the others woke up. But the sun had yet to rise. It was not that Bell and the others did not have enough sleep, but the night here was too long. In fact, they had slept for eight hours, or even longer. Under the influence of the polar night, it would be completely dark around four in the afternoon. The sun would only appear around eight in the morning. This environment would confuse one¡¯s biological clock. When he fell asleep last night, Bell remembered that it was around six. It should be five in the morning now. The fire in the cave was about to be extinguished, leaving only some green smoke floating up. It was still cold outside, and there was still some firewood left in the cave. Bell was not stingy and put all the remaining firewood in. With fuel, the fire burned brightly again. The temperature in the cave increased. However, Bell did not stay in the cave for long. Instead, he tightened his clothes and walked out of the cave. As soon as he went out, the cold wind outside made Bell shiver. The temperature difference inside and outside the cave was huge. Although it was not yet dawn, he could still see a faint light. Through the leaves of the forest, it added a little mystery to the scene before dawn. Seeing Bell move, the fans in the live-stream quickly became active. As Bell¡¯s popularity increased, the number of fans in the live-stream gradually stabilized. The number had already crossed 70 million. This number was definitely terrifying. However, Bell gradually felt a bottleneck. The number of fans seemed to be gradually decreasing. Bell was helpless about this. Fortunately, Bell knew the reason. The public was familiar with his skills. The production team and the media were very good at promoting Bell, which allowed him to accumulate a lot of popularity in a short time. Most of the people who stayed were old fans. Before Bell could show something new, it would be difficult to have a breakthrough in his popularity score. ¡°Looks like I need to improve myself.¡± Bell thought to himself. These fans would reward Bell from time to time. These gifts were converted into popularity points by Bell. Through this period of accumulation, Bell¡¯s popularity score was rising fast. He believed that it would not be long before he could start the lucky draw again and obtain the system reward. At that time, he would increase his strength again. Bell was looking forward to it. Bell was fascinated by the feeling of improvement from the skills. Chapter 187 - Arctic Fox Bell looked at the comments. Looking at the comments, Bell couldn¡¯t help but blush. ¡°Host, are you going to watch the aurora lights in the middle of the night?¡± ¡°You¡¯re thinking too much. I think the host was probably woken up by hunger.¡± ¡°In that case, it seems like he hasn¡¯t eaten for a long time.¡± The people in the live-stream spoke one after another. Bell¡¯s face reddened deeply. Thinking about it, he had really been woken up by hunger. Fortunately, the sky was not particularly bright. Although Bell¡¯s face was red, the audience in the live-stream did not notice it. After warming up beside the fire, Ped and the other man also quickly got up because of the rattling sounds. ¡°Are you all rested? Our journey starts again.¡± The two of them nodded. After packing up, the three of them left the cave. ¡°We need to gather some things now.¡± Bell carried the dagger to a pine tree. He cut off some dead branches and tied them to a wooden stick. He lit the wooden stick with the help of the fire. ¡°The pine tree contains a lot of pine resin. This is a flammable thing. We don¡¯t have enough vision in the current environment, so we need something to light the way. This can be called a temporary fire torch. Let¡¯s take a look at the traps we set up earlier and see if there are any gains.¡± The three of them quickly arrived at the traps they had made. However, after checking the trap, they were disappointed that they did not find anything. The trap was still lying there intact, as if it had never been touched. Fortunately, they had not just set one trap. Soon, Bell found the second trap. The torch shone over and the weeds around the trap were trampled. Bell¡¯s eyes lit up. The three of them quickly walked over. However, after the few of them walked in, Bell¡¯s excited expression faded. ¡°Looks like our luck today is not too good.¡± In the live-stream, there was no prey at the place where the trap was set up. Even the trap was missing. ¡°Looks like our trap did catch the prey. Look at the footprints on the ground and the traces of weeds being stepped on. This prey must have struggled here. Unfortunately, the rope was bitten off by the prey. ¡± Bell could only get up and turn to the other trap. To be honest, Bell was disappointed that he did not succeed in capturing the prey. It was the same for Ped and the thin man. Bell could only focus on the last trap. With his memory, Bell walked towards the trap. However, before he could find the trap, he heard a rustling sound in the grass. Bell¡¯s hope rose again. This was the sound of the prey struggling. Bell did not dare to delay and quickly ran over. With the help of the light, he saw a light blue figure swaying in the weeds. It seemed to be struggling to break free from something, but it did not succeed. The parachute¡¯s ropes were still very strong. The trap that Bell had set up would tighten the more the prey struggled. After struggling for a while, the sound in the grass quickly disappeared. Bell became more careful. A light blue figure? Bell was a little hesitant. He did not remember any mammal being light blue. Bell knew a lot about creatures with such skin color. For example, the blue whale, the blue poison dart frog, and the Indo-Pacific blue marlin were all blue, but they were not mammals. Logically speaking, they should not be here. Moreover, this size clearly did not match. After making a wild guess and failing to guess the identity of this creature, Bell could only raise the torch in his hand and carefully walk forward. The creature hidden in the grass seemed to sense Bell¡¯s approach and began to struggle violently again. Sensing the intense struggle, Bell did not dare to act rashly. This was his only prey. If it bit the parachute and escaped like the other prey, he would really have to go hungry. Bell did not dare to delay. With the help of the light from the torch, he finally saw what this creature was. This was actually an Arctic fox, and a young one at that. Under the light of the torch, its fur was not white, but a faint blue. Its light blue fur matched the agile eyes of the Arctic fox. In the night, there seemed to be a trace of mysterious beauty to the fox. The young Arctic Fox seemed to be very afraid and did not dare to continue struggling. Bell grabbed the back of its neck and could feel the little guy¡¯s body trembling. The audience in the live-stream was stunned. Everyone had seen Arctic foxes on television, but this one seemed to be different from the ones on the TV. ¡°F*ck, this fox is so beautiful.¡± ¡°Why do its eyes look like they can speak?¡± ¡°Did Bell encounter a spiritual fox?¡± ¡°Previous poster, don¡¯t talk nonsense. What spiritual fox? This is clearly protein. Its taste is like crispy chicken meat.¡± ¡°Ah, this thing is so cute. Can you not kill it?¡± ¡°This is the first time I¡¯ve seen a blue Arctic fox.¡± Bell also looked at the small Arctic fox curiously. Although the little guy was cute, it was still his prey. Bell did not let go. He asked Ped and the other men. The two of them did not obtain food in their traps either. Bell returned to the cave with the Arctic Fox. The three of them sat beside the fire and looked at the little guy in Bell¡¯s arms. After checking again, Bell finally confirmed that this little guy was definitely an Arctic Fox. Moreover, looking at its teeth, Bell was sure that this guy was about three months old. The little guy was trembling in Bell¡¯s arms, as if it knew what its fate was. It seemed to have accepted its fate. It lay down obediently and did not struggle much. This scene was quite surprising. For a moment, no one could bear to hurt this little guy. Chapter 188 - Reserve Food! In fact, the color of the Arctic fox¡¯s fur was not constant. As the season changed, the Arctic fox would molt and their fur would change color. For example, in summer, their fur would turn gray. In winter, it would be snow white. On one hand, the thickness of the fur was different, and on the other hand, it was beneficial for them to integrate into the surrounding environment. But this was the first time he had heard of blue fur. After some thought, Bell came up with a reasonable explanation. ¡°This little guy should be suffering from some kind of genetic disorder like albinism, causing the fur to change color. Of course, getting this color is indeed rare. In fact, the possibility of disease and pathological changes in animals is rare. However, this is not impossible. ¡± Bell explained to the audience in the live-stream. He couldn¡¯t help but think of a piece of news he had heard before. It seemed to be a Canadian whose skin had turned blue because of pathological changes. Other than making him look strange in the eyes of others, there was no other harm to him. But this problem was completely different for animals. In the natural world, fur was the protection of animals. Its color also played a vital role. In fact, the reason why the probability of animals having pathological changes was so low was also because most of the animals that were prone to pathological changes were eliminated in natural survival. Without the protection of the protective color, it was easy to be discovered by their natural enemies. Once animals like tigers and lions were born with albinism or other diseases, they would be judged by their mothers as cubs that could not survive and abandoned. They would also suffer problems when hunting. If not for human intervention, most of them would not live to adulthood. This little blue Arctic Fox was looking for food outside at such a young age. The situation might be similar. Looking at this size, other than the inedible internal organs and outer skin, the remaining meat would probably equal the weight of a slightly larger rat. Bell was helpless. ¡°How do you eat this?¡± The moment Bell said this, the live-stream exploded. ¡°F*ck, host, you¡¯re a demon!¡± ¡°As expected, Bell is Bell. No matter what, survival is his first goal.¡± ¡°The Arctic Fox is trembling.¡± ¡°As expected, even acting cute can¡¯t escape the fate of being eaten. In Bell¡¯s eyes, these are all rich proteins.¡± ¡°F*ck, Bell, show mercy. I¡¯ll send you gifts. I¡¯ll pay. Can you bring this guy back?¡± ¡°Crayon Shin-chan has gifted 10x Rockets. Host, can you not eat him and bring him back to me?¡± ¡°Sika has gifted 20x Rockets. Host, don¡¯t listen to him. I¡¯ll pay twenty rockets for this fox.¡± ¡°Cute Pet Lover has gifted 100x Rockets. Bullsh*t, this fox is so rare. It will cost at least hundreds of thousands. Host, these rockets will be the deposit. Let¡¯s discuss the price!¡± ¡°Sister Ye has gifted 1x Rocket. Host, please don¡¯t eat him. He¡¯s so pitiful.¡± Seeing so many people in the live-stream telling him not to eat this little guy, Bell did not know what to say. He picked up the little guy and carefully observed him. Looking at the small Arctic silver fox in front of him, its light blue fur, coupled with its bright eyes, it looked really cute. This little guy seemed to be quite intelligent. It looked pitifully at Bell and even whimpered. As the little guy whimpered, Bell¡¯s stomach growled. What should he do now? There were so many people in the live-stream who had advised him not to eat, but he was really hungry. Bell took a look at Ped and the thin man. The two of them just shrugged. Clearly, they wanted Bell to decide. While Bell was hesitating, a comment in the live-stream attracted his attention. ¡°Li Ziqi¡¯s studio has gifted 10x Rockets. This little guy is so cute. Can you not eat it and bring it back? Can you give it to me?¡± Seeing this comment, Bell knew who the owner of this comment was. It was definitely Li Ziqi. Seeing this, Bell could not continue. Since Li Ziqi had already sent the comment, it meant that Scarlett and the others were definitely watching the live broadcast. This was probably their common opinion. Bell pursed his lips helplessly and looked at Ped and the man. ¡°Why don¡¯t we let this little guy go and search for other food?¡± Ped nodded and did not say anything else. ¡°I have no objections. Such a small thing is not enough for the three of us.¡± The man nodded and did not speak, but he agreed to Bell¡¯s suggestion. Seeing the two of them say this, Bell had no reason to do anything to this little guy. He pulled the little guy in front of him. ¡°You¡¯re very lucky. I won¡¯t eat you this time, but I will use you as a food reserve.¡± Bell said jokingly. The live-stream also knew that if Bell was not at the end of his rope, he would not touch this little guy. They were relieved. Stroking the little fox in his arms, Bell thought for a moment. ¡°Since you¡¯re a caught prey, you will be called Reserve Food from now on.¡± Bell gave a random name. Hearing the name, the people in the live-stream immediately laughed. ¡°Hahaha, Reserve Food, too funny.¡± ¡°I have nothing to say.¡± Animals¡¯ intuition was quite sharp. Perhaps this was a special ability that nature had given them. In terms of sensing people¡¯s kindness and malice, animals were quite accurate. The little fox had looked very afraid earlier, but after Bell expressed that he would not eat it, this little guy actually became intimate with Bell and even tried to rub its soft fur against Bell¡¯s hand. Seeing this, Bell was amused. He let go of the rope. The little guy did not run. Instead, it ran happily beside Bell. The atmosphere was warm. The little guy licked Bell¡¯s hand with its tongue and ran to Bell¡¯s body from time to time, making Ped and the man envious. But this little guy did not move closer to them, making them speechless. With such a little guy as a diversion in the snowy atmosphere, it was no longer boring. Chapter 189 - Rabbiteye Blueberry In fact, if this little Arctic Fox had not encountered Bell, it would not have lived long in this snowy environment. After all, without its mother¡¯s care, it was not old enough to hunt. It was very difficult for such small animals to survive to adulthood in the wild. On one hand, it was because there were no adult females to take care of them. On the other hand, it was because without protective colors, they were easier to be discovered by their natural enemies. Arctic foxes were omnivores. Most of the meat was birds and hares. When food was scarce, they would also choose to eat some nuts or plant roots to fill their stomachs. Overall, it was relatively easy to feed. But Bell was not on vacation, but in Wilderness Survival. It was already very difficult to support himself. He was not very confident in raising the fox. This little guy could only eat whatever he ate. If it really died, he could only say that this was its fate. The little guy did not realize that it had been treated as a food reserve by Bell. Seeing that Bell had no intention of hurting him, it became active. Arctic foxes were very resistant to the cold. They could even survive in an environment of -50 ¡ãC. However, that was an adult Arctic fox. The little guy in front of him was very thin and there didn¡¯t seem to be any fat under its skin. It could be estimated that its resistance to the cold was not high. It had mostly relied on some berries and grass roots to maintain itself. A cold wind blew past the little Arctic Fox. It seemed to feel the cold and quickly rubbed against Bell¡¯s chest. After all, Bell¡¯s chest was warmer. However, the little guy seemed to notice a warmer place and tried to crawl into Bell¡¯s jacket. Seeing this, Bell quickly pulled the little guy out. The little guy revealed a trace of grievance and whimpered at Bell. It made one¡¯s heart ache. Bell could only throw the little guy into his backpack. The backpack was waterproof and had good density, so the temperature was higher. A small crack appeared to maintain the flow of air. The little Arctic Fox felt warm and stopped struggling. It stayed obediently in his backpack. ¡°Alright, now that we have a small burden, getting food is even more urgent.¡± ¡°It¡¯s time to set off.¡± Bell extinguished the fire and continued moving. But this was a makeshift torch after all. After more than ten minutes, the wood burned out and the fire was extinguished. Bell could only turn on the night vision function in the live-stream. He could not always let the audience watch a black screen. In fact, as humans continued to grasp technology and leave the wilderness, many of their abilities gradually began to deteriorate. And night vision was one of them. Bell also yearned for this ability. He had been thinking about this. If he could get this ability from the system, it would be of great help to his live broadcast. He could move easily even in the middle of the night. However, for now, he still had to probe his way in the dark. He walked slowly through the forest. Bell felt his stamina quickly depleting. In fact, Bell was looking forward to seeing some snow in this forest. Because this way, he could see more through the reflection of light, and the surrounding environment could be distinguished. But right now, this was only an extravagant hope. After walking in the forest for nearly two hours, the sky finally lit up. Bell heaved a sigh of relief and sat down. His stamina was greatly exhausted, and even his knees were sore. Due to the darkness, he had knocked into rocks and dead wood countless times. He knew that his knees were definitely bruised. Reserve Food in Bell¡¯s backpack was very quiet. Bell wondered if this little guy had fallen asleep inside. Ped and the man¡¯s condition could only be said to be okay. In fact, in terms of endurance, Bell had a slight advantage over the two of them. Although he was petite, Bell¡¯s stamina was not lower than the two of them. Moreover, judging from the thin man¡¯s size, Bell might be stronger. He took out the canteen and took two sips of water. The cold water flowed down Bell¡¯s throat and into his stomach. The bone-chilling feeling was unbearable. But Bell still endured it. ¡°Alright, everyone, we don¡¯t have much time to waste. Let¡¯s rest for a while.¡± Along the way, Bell had been observing his surroundings to see if there was anything edible. But to his disappointment, he did not find anything to eat. He did not even find insects. Just as Bell was about to consider taking out the Reserve Food, a bush suddenly appeared in front of him. It was lush. What made him excited was that there were many small fruits at the end of the bushes. This scene made Bell wonder if he had fainted from hunger and was hallucinating. Bell and the other two quickly walked forward and sized up the bushes. Logically speaking, only a small portion of berries could not be eaten. For example, belladonna and Barbados lilies. But to be safe, Bell perked up and observed the bushes. Soon, with the help of the top level plant identification ability in his mind, Bell recognized what this thing was. ¡°Looks like our luck has turned. These are rabbiteye blueberries. It looks like berries, but it is more similar to blueberries. The nutritional value it contains is much higher than blueberries. This species usually grows at such a low temperature. The lowest growth environment of this plant can even reach -50 ¡ãC. Now, it will bring enough vitamins and sugar to the three of us and increase our motivation for the future. ¡± Bell glanced at Ped and the man. The three of them stopped hesitating and stuffed the fruits into their mouths. Chapter 190 - Encountering the Black Bear, Life and Death Bell stuffed the fruits in his mouth. After biting them, the sweet and sour juice and flesh exploded in his mouth. Bell chewed and said to the camera, ¡°These rabbiteye blueberries contain a lot of sugar, and sugar is the main source of heat in the human body. We have to eat more and bring some along.¡± At this moment, Ped and the thin man were in no mood to pay attention to Bell. The two of them, who had been hungry for a day and night, wolfed down the food. Reserve Food in Bell¡¯s backpack whimpered and stuck its head out. Seeing this little guy like this, Bell knew that it was asking for food. He could only let it out of his backpack and place some rabbiteye blueberries on the ground. Seeing the food, the little guy jumped excitedly and began to eat. It looked very happy. Rabbiteye blueberries usually grew in patches. Bell moved from one bush to another as he ate them. He filled his stomach and stopped after he could not eat anymore. Who said that eating fruits could not fill the stomach? If anyone dared to say this in front of Bell again, Bell would show them his condition today. Bell touched his stomach and was satisfied. Then, he took his backpack and prepared to bring more food. But just as he approached the bushes, a faint sound came from the bushes. Bell immediately perked up. There was something! Looking at the movement in the bushes, Bell judged that the animal inside was not very big. It was very likely to be a small mammal like a hare. Bell could not help but be excited. He quickly gestured for Ped and the thin man to keep quiet. He had already eaten his fill, but at this moment, Bell felt that he could eat a little more. After all, proteins and sugar were two different things. Seeing Bell¡¯s excited expression, the comments in the live-stream became lively. ¡°It¡¯s over, it¡¯s over. What¡¯s going to be attacked by Bell again?¡± ¡°There are fruits and meat. The nutrition is balanced.¡± The live-stream was filled with teasing, but Bell was in no mood to pay attention to these people. He could already feel his saliva constantly secreting. Even his brain was transmitting the taste of meat to him. Holding the dagger, he quietly approached the bushes. At the same time, he was on high alert. Once the prey in the bushes tried to escape, he would immediately activate his skill to ensure that he could hunt successfully this time. The animal in the bushes seemed to be eating happily. It did not even notice a huge creature like Bell approaching it. At this moment, the danger was less than five meters away. Through the gaps in the bushes, Bell saw a black figure inside. Bell couldn¡¯t help but smile. He suddenly pounced and pressed on the bushes. But the next second, Bell was stunned. What the f*ck! Bell cursed inwardly. It was no wonder Bell was so agitated. After pressing the black thing in the bushes, Bell saw its appearance. It was a black bear¡¯s cub. The boy and the bear were stunned as they looked at each other. At this moment, there was some juice at the corner of the little grizzly bear¡¯s mouth. Clearly, it was left from the rabbiteye blueberries. The two sides were stunned for ten seconds before the little bear finally reacted. It broke free of Bell¡¯s hand and ran out of the bushes towards the depths of the forest, even letting out a cry. Hearing this cry, Bell reacted. He could not be bothered to explain. He grabbed his backpack and shouted at Ped and the man. ¡°Run quickly!¡± Although black bears and brown bears were not social animals, they still had the nature of raising their cubs. This young black bear would not leave its mother¡¯s side too far, and its mother would take care of it until it reached adulthood. In other words, the cub and the mother bear would not be too far apart. The female bear was definitely within a hundred meters. With his current combat strength, if he bumped into that female bear, there would be no suspense at all. The only outcome was that the three of them would become supplements for this cub. Seeing that Bell was so nervous, although Ped and the man did not know what was going on, they did not dare to delay and quickly fled with Bell. When the little Arctic Fox saw Bell and the others suddenly running away, it cried in confusion. Bell gritted his teeth and picked up the Little Arctic Fox, pulling it into his arms. If this little guy stayed here, it would be the bear¡¯s next meal. However, during these few seconds, the roar of a beast suddenly sounded from the forest behind. Bell¡¯s heart skipped a beat. The female bear was moving. At that moment, a black shadow rushed out of the bushes like a tank. Everything in front of it was knocked aside without mercy. Bell could not care about anything else. They could not afford to provoke the mother bear in this almost berserk state after it heard its cub¡¯s cries. Bell clearly saw that the thigh-thick dead wood in front of the mother bear was mercilessly broken, and wood shavings scattered everywhere. Bell¡¯s eyelids twitched. Good lord, what would happen if it was him instead? Bell did not want to know at all. Although black bears looked very clumsy when they walked, if they really ran, their speed could reach 38 kilometers per hour, more than twice that of humans. What was even more terrifying was that they could maintain this state for several hours. Bell¡¯s short sprint was indeed faster than the black bear¡¯s, but that was only a short burst. Not to mention running for a few hours, even ten minutes at max speed would be a difficult challenge. It was like he was racing against the Grim Reaper. He grabbed his backpack with one hand and the little fox with the other and ran in the opposite direction. Ped and the man heard the beast¡¯s roar and were unwilling to fall behind. They ran as fast as they could. Chapter 191 - Acute Sense of Smell Although the black bear was not as strong as the brown bear, that was relative. If someone really took a hit from it directly, not to mention a human, even a red deer would die. In short, Bell could not provoke either of these two animals. Most importantly, these guys had thick skin. The dagger in his hand could not harm them at all. Even if they stood there and let him stab them for an hour, the result would not change. Therefore, the only choice for Bell was to escape. In the forest, Bell, Ped, and the thin man were running for their lives. The little fox in Bell¡¯s hand was crying out in fear. Because Bell and the group had run immediately, they quickly left the black bear¡¯s sight. Out of maternal instinct, the black bear would not leave too far away from its cub. After chasing for dozens of meters more, the female bear finally chose to give up. She roared angrily in the direction of Bell and the others and finally turned around. Seeing that the danger was resolved, the little bear returned to the bushes to enjoy its food. Bell and the others did not dare to stay for long. They ran for a kilometer and confirmed that the female bear would not chase after them before heaving a sigh of relief. After getting out of the danger, the three of them sat on the ground and panted heavily. The little guy in his arms also knew that the danger was over. It whimpered in the direction of the escape as if it was showing off. Seeing the little guy like this, Bell rolled his eyes and flicked its head. The little guy fell to the snow and squeezed into Bell¡¯s arms aggrievedly. The audience in the live-stream laughed crazily when they saw Bell¡¯s expression. ¡°Haha, Bell is actually in such a sorry state.¡± ¡°He was looking for lunch, but he almost became lunch.¡± ¡°Bell can participate in the long-distance running in the Olympics.¡± ¡°He bullies the weak and fears the strong. He didn¡¯t look so tough when he saw the black bear, but now, he¡¯s very tough when it comes to bullying Reserve Food.¡± ¡°Looks like Bell is not invincible all the time.¡± Bell was in no mood to care about the comments in the live-stream. His stamina had just been exhausted too much, and the little guy in his arms seemed to sense that Bell was not really angry. It whimpered at Bell again, as if to say that it was not full yet. Seeing this, Bell couldn¡¯t help but knock its forehead. ¡°Such a young foodie.¡± Bell could only take out some more blueberries from his backpack. Fortunately, his hunger had been satiated by these blueberries. Otherwise, he would not have energy to run away from the black bear. Seeing that there was still food to eat, the little Arctic fox jumped up happily and began to eat happily. Moreover, this guy seemed to have treated the backpack as its nest and even stuffed the rabbiteye blueberries into it. This little guy was not stupid. Instead, it was very smart. After all, it had to live alone in the forest at such a young age and was on tenterhooks all day. Most of the time, it could only hunt in the cold at night, so it was extremely agile. After following Bell, the little fox seemed to feel much safer. It had food to eat and a warm place to sleep. Compared to before, it was simply heaven. If Bell wanted to chase it away now, it would definitely not leave. Carrying the food in his backpack, Bell stood up and looked at Ped and the thin man. ¡°Are you guys okay?¡± The two of them rubbed their sore legs and stood up with a bitter smile. ¡°Fortunately, I should be able to continue for a while.¡± Bell nodded. ¡°Then let¡¯s continue. We¡¯ve already wasted some time.¡± The three of them adjusted their condition and continued to move forward. ¡°To be honest, we were really lucky. Fortunately, we encountered a black bear and not a brown bear. Compared to the black bear, the brown bear is an opportunist. They will usually choose the right time to attack. Once we are targeted by them, it will be difficult to escape. Moreover, their sense of smell is very sharp. They can even smell the smell of blood five kilometers away. They can rely on their sense of smell to confirm the location of their prey within three kilometers.¡± ¡°This is simply comparable to the precision of a guided missile.¡± Bell said while walking. ¡°We can¡¯t choose the bush we just passed. Bears are very vengeful creatures. I heard a story before. It is a true story. In North America, a fur hunter brought a hound to hunt in the mountains and encountered a brown bear. At that time, the hunter used a hunting rifle to injure and scare the brown bear. He thought that the matter was over, but what happened next is very surprising.¡± ¡°After this brown bear recovered from its injuries, it actually tracked the hunter with the smell left behind. Moreover, it hid for nearly twenty days and finally seized the opportunity to take revenge on the hunter. By the time the hunter¡¯s hound arrived, the hunter¡¯s head had already been smashed and his corpse had fallen to the ground. But surprisingly, this hunter¡¯s corpse was not eaten. What did this mean? It meant that this brown bear had killed the hunter for revenge, not for food. This is what¡¯s scary about them! ¡± After hearing Bell¡¯s story, everyone in the live-stream, including Ped and the thin man, gasped. They did not expect animals to be so smart or so vengeful. Everyone couldn¡¯t help but sigh. ¡°Black bears are omnivorous animals. They usually choose to eat some berries, roots, mushrooms, and other plants. But if they find an opportunity to eat meat, this creature will not miss it. If you encounter a black bear in this environment like me one day, I can give you a suggestion. The best way is to find a river and swim across it. The goal is to use the river water to dilute your smell and prevent this bear from tracking you.¡± Bell paused for a moment. ¡°What we need to do now is to find a river like I said. It is not just to eliminate the smell on our bodies. We need to replenish some water and food as well.¡± The three of them advanced. Ped and the thin man looked at Bell with admiration. In times of danger, this young mentor could really make extremely precise judgment. He even saved their lives time and time again. Chapter 192 - Alaskan Brown Bear Bell and the others had eaten a large number of rabbiteye blueberries. Although he was full, these rabbiteye blueberries were mostly water and sugar. Therefore, after a while, Bell¡¯s stomach growled again. To be honest, Bell¡¯s stomach was not feeling good. It had been three days since they arrived in this environment. The only proteins Bell and the others had consumed were fish and the insects. While enduring the hunger, he had to avoid being tracked by the black bear. Ordinary people would not be able to endure this. Suddenly, Bell seemed to notice something and squatted down to move the camera over. There was a black thing on the screen. ¡°Do you see that?¡± Bell picked up the black thing and opened it. ¡°This is brown bear feces. There is some animal fur inside. We might be in trouble again. If I¡¯m not wrong, this should be the territory of a brown bear. The most important thing now is to find a river and create a raft to rush down it. This forest is too dangerous. I don¡¯t want to stay here for a moment longer. ¡± Ped and the thin man were nervous when they heard that they were in dangerous territory again. When they encountered the black bear, their hearts almost jumped out of their throats. They did not expect it to happen again so soon. The only hope for the two of them to survive in this forest was Bell. The two of them understood that if they wanted to survive here, they could only rely on Bell. They wondered how Jack and the others were doing in this environment. Ped knew Jack¡¯s survival skills very well. Jack¡¯s situation was probably worse than theirs. Bell threw down the feces and stood up. ¡°Let¡¯s hurry up.¡± Although moving quickly would increase their hunger, it did not seem to be important compared to their lives. The three of them moved through the forest. Bell suddenly stopped and lay down before anyone could react. At the same time, he pulled Ped and the thin man down. This scene made the hearts of the audience in the live-stream jump to their throats. They did not know what had happened. Ped and the thin man were also confused, not knowing what was going on. The three of them hid in the bushes. Ped asked carefully. ¡°Bell, what¡¯s wrong?¡± Bell did not answer. Instead, he gestured for them to keep quiet and pointed ahead. Looking in the direction Bell was pointing, he saw a huge brown bear leaning against a pine tree. It was like a mountain of flesh. Just looking at it with the naked eye gave people a sense of oppression. It was the Alaskan brown bear that Bell had been talking about. The brown bear did not notice Bell. Instead, it patted the pine tree with its fat paws and rubbed its back against it from time to time. The pine tree that was as thick as a person was swaying under this muscular body. This power was shocking. Ped and the thin man swallowed their saliva. Good lord, this brown bear looked much more dangerous than the black bear. After sizing it up, Bell quickly retracted his gaze and hid himself. ¡°This is an Alaskan brown bear. You all saw it. Even sitting there, it is taller than an adult male. I can only be considered a small cub in front of it. This guy is definitely more than three meters tall. Moreover, look at that palm, it is actually bigger than my head! If it hits me, I will probably die. ¡± ¡°Let¡¯s leave quickly before it notices us.¡± With that, Bell gestured to Ped and the thin man and began to retreat step by step. After retreating for about fifty meters and confirming that the brown bear did not discover them, they turned and ran. It was an accident to encounter this brown bear. But this also added a lot of difficulty to Bell¡¯s group. They had to find a river to clear the smell from their bodies. Otherwise, when the brown bear was hungry, it would definitely follow the smell. The few of them walked through the forest. Someone was still asking questions in the live-stream. ¡°Host, since this brown bear has such a sharp sense of smell, why didn¡¯t it attack you just now?¡± Bell happened to notice this comment. ¡°I saw the audience asking us why this brown bear did not chase after us. In fact, you might all have a misunderstanding. Whether it be brown bears or black bears, they will attack humans for three reasons: hunger, self-defense, or curiosity. Normally speaking, bears will not attack humans when there is enough food. But once you make them feel threatened, they will defend themselves.¡± ¡°Also, I have to remind everyone to not think that you can escape death by pretending to be dead. These bears eat rotten meat as well. If they are really hungry, they can even eat rotten fish. Not to mention human corpses. Also, bears are very curious. If you suddenly pretend to be dead while running, there is a high chance that they will treat you as a toy. Think of the consequences of such a massive body rubbing you like a toy or sitting on you. I¡¯m sure you don¡¯t want to feel the weight of a few hundred kilograms. ¡± ¡°So what should you do if you encounter these guys in the wild? If you have enough firepower, then confront them; otherwise, run quickly. Don¡¯t think of playing dead or climbing trees. Although their body looks clumsy, their ability to climb trees is much stronger than humans. They can easily climb more than ten meters high. If the brown bear is angry, it might even directly break the tree. Moreover, they are patient hunters. In order to obtain food, they can wait under the tree for a few days and nights.¡± Bell explained to everyone. After hearing Bell¡¯s words, everyone was enlightened. So the knowledge about the bears in the books was wrong. Ped and the thin man were also listening attentively. After knowing that this big guy was so dangerous, the few of them subconsciously quickened their pace. Chapter 193 - Escape Bell led Ped and the thin man through the forest. He was not moving without an aim. He deliberately chose some places that were not so flat. This was to prevent the brown bear from paying attention. Although these guys were very fast and had strong endurance, they were huge after all, so they were not that agile. The terrain he chose could greatly reduce the speed of the brown bear¡¯s pursuit. He pulled Ped and the thin man and climbed up a two-meter-tall rock platform. The few of them could not help but feel exhausted. ¡°Alright, we have to work harder. I once saw a news article about a tourist being attacked by brown bears. The reason that guy had encountered the crisis was because he had listened to the rumors online. In the end, he became lunch for the bear. ¡± Ped was exhausted. He believed that his stamina was not bad, but compared to Bell, he realized that if the brown bear really caught up, he would probably become lunch as well. Therefore, Ped was eager to know if there was a way to avoid this brown bear. ¡°Bell, what should we do now? We definitely can¡¯t defeat this brown bear. If we run, our endurance is inferior to it. ¡± Ped was desperate. At this moment, he felt like there was a death warrant behind him, and he did not dare to stop for a moment. Although he was also exhausted, Bell still smiled and said. ¡°You can stand on a higher rock and look taller. Then, shake the branches beside you and make some noise. Perhaps this can scare him away. Of course, there is another way. That is to give him the middle finger. This way, you can die with dignity.¡± Whether it was the audience in the live-stream or Ped, they were all listening seriously, but when they heard the end, they realized that Bell¡¯s words were a little off. ¡°Haha, god, raise your middle finger.¡± ¡°Come here!¡± ¡°When did you learn my ultimate skill?!¡± ¡°I¡¯ve tried this before. The hospital¡¯s WiFi is really fast.¡± ¡°Previous poster, are you serious? I¡¯ll try it now.¡± ¡°Yes, try and die.¡± Everyone in the live-stream immediately burst out laughing. The originally tense atmosphere was completely broken by Bell¡¯s actions. They continued to walk in the forest for a while. Bell¡¯s eyes suddenly lit up. Because he heard the sound of water. This sound perked Bell up. The three of them quickly advanced. The sound of water became louder. Just from the sound, it was obvious that the water source was not small. Bell pushed aside another bush and his vision lit up. A wide river flowed down from above. On both sides of the shore were pebbles. Bell¡¯s face lit up. He quickly ran forward and wiped his face with water. The cold river water made Bell shiver, but it also stimulated his mental state. It temporarily relieved his fatigue. Ped and the man quickly went forward and washed their faces just like Bell. ¡°This river is very cold. Be careful. If I am not wrong, it should have formed after the snow melted. Look there! ¡± The camera turned to where Bell was pointing. There was some floating wood on both sides of the river. ¡°This should have also rushed down from above. There is a very short summer here every May to June. The snow on the mountain melts greatly, forming a river. When the temperature is too high, it will cause a flood.¡± Bell looked up and touched his chin. ¡°We can¡¯t stay in this forest anymore. Everyone saw it just now. In such a short time, we encountered two bears. No one can guarantee that we won¡¯t encounter a third one. It¡¯s hard to say if we will be so lucky next time. ¡± ¡°We have to think of a way to flow down the river. This can cover our smell and prevent the brown bear from following our smell. ¡± ¡°Fortunately, there is a lot of driftwood on both sides of the river bank.¡± Dry wood was more buoyant than freshly cut wood. In addition, the three of them still had some ropes left. With these tools, they could create a raft. ¡°Give me the ropes.¡± Bell looked at Ped and the man. After gathering the materials, the three of them did not delay. They immediately began to make the raft. According to Bell¡¯s request, the two chose some suitable floating wood. They first created the frame of the raft and tied it with the ropes. With the three of them working together, a raft was completed in ten minutes. Looking at their work, the three of them were very satisfied. Other than being a little simple, this raft was flawless. Anyway, there was no time to pursue style. After all, the brown bear could chase after them at any time. If not for the fact that the water temperature in the river was too low, Bell would have considered hugging a log and flowing down the river. To the three of them, every second was precious. Bell opened his backpack. He wanted to hold Reserve Food in his arms to avoid catching a cold in the water. After all, this guy was thin. However, just as he opened his backpack, he realized that this guy was hiding in it and eating the rabbiteye blueberries he had gathered. A dark line appeared on Bell¡¯s forehead. Seeing that its act of stealing food was discovered, the little guy whimpered at Bell and spat out the rabbiteye blueberries that it had just placed in its mouth. It seemed to be saying, ¡°I only ate one.¡± Bell rolled his eyes and got on the raft without worrying about this guy. He was 100% sure that this little guy would definitely eat it again. Forget it, he could not be bothered. After all, he had not been able to gather many rabbiteye blueberries. Because there were three of them, they had to see if the raft could withstand their weight. After carefully boarding the raft, they realized that it did not sink. ¡°Alright, looks like the raft is fine. We can float down.¡± Seeing this, Ped and the man sat down calmly. However, the comments in the live-stream were not so honest. ¡°Bell¡¯s raft is eternal pain.¡± ¡°That¡¯s right, there is no such thing as not sinking.¡± ¡°I bet ten rockets that the raft will sink.¡± ¡°Hahaha, let¡¯s wait and see.¡± Chapter 194 - The Will to Survive Looking at the heartless comments in the live-stream, Bell couldn¡¯t help but frown. These guys really did not want his journey to be smooth. He curled his lips. ¡°Remember the comments you sent. Moderators, remember those guys. Who said that my raft would sink? If it doesn¡¯t, I¡¯ll settle the score with them! ¡± However, Bell¡¯s angry expression did not stop anyone. Instead, they felt even more excited. The river water was not very rapid. Therefore, the raft was very stable. Riding on the raft was not only energy-saving and safe, but also fast. Bell also saw a few rainbow trout and muskellunge in the water. He was already thinking to himself that he would catch a few fish to fill his stomach later. These were all high-quality proteins. Thinking that he was about to escape danger and had food to eat, Bell became happy. At the same time, he could not help but tease the audience in the live-stream. ¡°Hehe, who said that the raft would sink? Come out and don¡¯t run. My raft is extremely stable, and the water is not rapid. Unless there is an accident, it will not sink at all. ¡± Seeing that the raft did not sink, the audience could not help but be disappointed. The comments in the live-stream were filled with sad and grimacing emotes. Bell did not know what to say to these shameless guys. Due to it being polar night, although it was noon, the sky looked gloomy. Sitting on the raft, Bell and his teammates floated for nearly an hour. It was moving at such a good speed that Bell was speechless. If they continued to move like this, they might even make it out today. This was definitely good news. It saved both effort and time. Bell was in the mood to look at the surrounding scenery. A cool breeze blew. ¡°In this situation, it¡¯s not bad to calm down and appreciate the scenery. Look at the tall snow mountain. Also the lush trees on both sides. The river water is also extremely clear. It is like a painting. Sometimes, people have to be closer to nature. This way, you will realizea€| F*ck! ¡± Bell was halfway through his sentence when he exclaimed. Everyone was given a fright as they looked at Bell. The terrain ahead suddenly became steep. Countless boulders piled up on the river, and the river became narrow. At the same time, the water became faster. From afar, one could see the violent movement. ¡°No way, don¡¯t hit it directly!¡± Bell said with a long face. He quickly called for Ped and the man to lower their bodies. The three of them adjusted the direction of the raft. The center of gravity could change the direction of the raft to a certain extent. However, this was not a speedboat. In addition, the water was rapid. Bang! With their efforts, the raft finally hit the rock accurately. The raft shook violently. Fortunately, the three of them held onto the raft tightly, so they did not fall. However, the danger was not over. The raft returned to the center of the river. Immediately after, the raft hit the second and third rock as if it was a bumper car. In just a moment, the raft was shattered. The three of them fell into the water as expected. The moment he fell into the water, the cold and bone-chilling river water instantly seeped into Bell¡¯s skin and into his bones. Under the sudden coldness, the blood vessels in the body would expand and contract. This could cause the human body to lack blood supply, spasm, or shock. In such a cold lake, once this happened, the outcome was obvious. Therefore, the three of them swam towards the surface immediately. Bell even activated the Wilderness Hunter skill. After floating to the surface, Bell grabbed the nearest remains of the raft. Ped and the man also grabbed the remains and floated on the water. But although they floated out of the water, the three of them could not go ashore. ¡°What should we do now, Bell?¡± Ped and the man shouted. Bell frowned. The current situation was very bad, because in such a rapid river, the nerve endings on the hands and feet would quickly be frozen. The human body would lose the sense of pain at the same time. It was definitely not a good thing to lose pain in such a rapid river. Otherwise, even if you were injured, you would not feel it at all. If the wound was not treated in time, it would only become a bigger problem. ¡°F*ck, there¡¯s no need to be so efficacious!¡± ¡°As expected, as long as it¡¯s Bell¡¯s ship, it will definitely sink.¡± ¡°A new law has been discovered.¡± ¡°Sigh, I was prepared to fulfill my promise and fire the rockets, but you didn¡¯t give me a chance. ¡± Bell¡¯s face darkened. Fortunately, this situation did not last long. After being washed down by the water for about 50 meters, the river became wider, and the water was not as rapid as before. While their limbs were not numb, the three of them quickly swam ashore. ¡°No, it¡¯s too cold. We have to quickly start a fire to warm us up and dry our clothes.¡± The cold made Bell tremble when he spoke. Although they were no longer within the tree line, the day temperature was still -10 ?¡ãC. In this temperature, Bell had no time to choose a shelter. The most important thing now was to gather firewood. His bowstring was still in his backpack. Bell unzipped his backpack and poured out everything inside. The Arctic Fox fell to the ground, not knowing what had happened. Bell had no time to fool around with it. He quickly picked up the bowstring. He warmed his hands and barely felt some feeling. He began to start a fire. Ped and the man were not in as good a state as Bell. They were already losing consciousness. Bell quickly reminded the two of them. ¡°Don¡¯t just stay there. Start doing push-ups immediately to maintain your heart rate.¡± The two of them forced themselves to move according to Bell¡¯s instructions. This situation had nothing to do with the physique. The most important thing was the willpower. The will to survive could make people do things that they could not imagine. Bell had such a will! Chapter 195 - Reserve Food Should Be Fattened In this situation, Bell had to race against time. But the work in his hand was a meticulous job, making him tense up. By any chance, if water or snow dripped on the spark, all his efforts would be in vain. However, with his current physique and skills, there was no chance of error. ¡°Faster, faster, faster!¡± Although he was extremely anxious, his actions were not affected at all. The wood had to be rubbed again and again to reach the ignition point. Ped and the man were still moving their bodies to prevent their body temperature from falling to a dangerous temperature. The little fox watched Bell¡¯s actions and did not know what he was doing, but it did not disturb him. They looked like passersby watching a show. Seeing that the rabbiteye blueberries had fallen to the ground, the little fox thought that it could eat it. It watched Bell working as it ate the blueberries. Seeing this guy¡¯s relaxed expression, Bell gritted his teeth in anger. Eat, eat, eat. You only know how to eat. If there is no food today, I will eat you. The little fox did not notice Bell¡¯s dangerous expression. It was still watching with a cute expression. At this moment, a wisp of green smoke suddenly floated out of the groove in the wood. Seeing this, a trace of hope rose in Bell¡¯s heart. He used the last of his strength to speed up. More and more green smoke rose. He carefully poured the wood shavings into the kindling. He looked at it expectantly. At this moment, a drop of sweat or melted snow fell from Bell¡¯s head. Bell quickly caught the drop of water. Only then did he preserve this weak flame. Without daring to delay, Bell kept increasing his speed. After some work, a ball of fire finally appeared. After adding the kindling, the fire gradually became stronger. Bell heaved a sigh of relief. The little fox saw the flames and subconsciously took a few steps back in fear. Bell was in no mood to pay attention to this guy. At this temperature, this little guy would be fine. On the other hand, if he could not warm up, he would probably really die. The fire rose. Bell quickly took off his clothes and began to dry them. At the same time, he called Ped and the man over. With the fire, Bell finally felt a sense of security. As the temperature increased, the blood circulation in his body gradually returned to normal. He cut a few branches and built a simple frame. After wringing the clothes, he began to dry them. The temperature of the fire caused the water in the clothes to gradually evaporate. Reserve Food had never seen such a scene. It couldn¡¯t help but stick its head out, its eyes filled with curiosity. It even forgot about the food. Sitting beside the fire, Bell heaved a sigh of relief. ¡°We don¡¯t have much time now. It will be completely dark in about three hours. But it will take some time to dry the clothes. We can¡¯t go anywhere before this is over. Our only choice now is to build a shelter here. Fortunately, this place is very close to the river, so we can get fresh water. As for food, we can only try our luck and see if we can catch a few fish. When we were upstream, I saw some rainbow trout and pikes in the water.¡± Although Bell was young, after the system¡¯s strengthening and this period of training, his muscles were quite prominent. The audience was amazed. Time passed slowly. Their body temperature finally stabilized and returned to normal. After clenching his fists and sensing that his condition was normal, Bell found a hard and straight tree branch. He tied his dagger to it and made a simple harpoon. The other two also did the same. The three of them carried the harpoons to the river. They began to observe the water. Although the temperature was below zero, it did not freeze because it was moving. However, the three of them were not in good condition. Because of the cold, they lost a lot of heat. At the same time, it made them feel even hungrier. This feeling was simply maddening. Holding harpoons, the three of them wore boxer shorts and kept searching in the cold river. However, they did not gain anything immediately, making Bell almost focus on the small Reserve Food. However, at this moment, Bell suddenly realized that there seemed to be some abnormal fluctuations in the water ahead. There seemed to be something hidden inside. Bell was delighted and carefully approached. The harpoon in his hand began to accumulate strength waiting for the moment to be pierced into the creature. After getting closer, Bell finally realized what was in the water. It was a muskellunge. It was obvious from the name that this was a ferocious freshwater fish. Their adaptability was very strong. Not only could they be found in the cold water region, but they were also in the warm water region. This muskellunge was 50 centimeters long. If he could catch it, he could resolve the problem of his food. Bell couldn¡¯t help but swallow. Bell gestured for the camera to keep quiet. ¡°Be quiet now. We only have one chance. When fishing with the harpoon, we have to be fast and precise. But at the same time, we have to pay attention to the reflection of light in the water. This will affect our vision judgment. If you are not able to judge the light dispersion properly, it will seem like you pierced the fish, but the fish would have brushed past you. The correct way is to stab the front of the fish. ¡± With that, Bell suddenly stabbed the harpoon into the water. The dagger did not disappoint and pierced through the fish¡¯s body. But surprisingly, this fish seemed to have a strong vitality and was not killed in one blow. Although it was stabbed, it actually twisted its body and swam towards the center of the river with the harpoon. Bell was about to go crazy from hunger. How could he let it escape? He couldn¡¯t care less about the cold river water. He jumped into the river and grabbed the muskellunge. Because it was already fatally injured, the muskellunge could not do much. After more than ten seconds of struggling, it was finally caught by Bell and dragged back to shore. Bell did not dare to delay and quickly returned to the fire. As time passed, Ped and the man also caught a fish each. Although their fish were not as big as the fish Bell had caught, it was enough for the two of them. After warming up, Bell pulled the muskellunge over. ¡°We¡¯re very lucky. We finally obtained food.¡± Chapter 196 - Building a Shelter, Misdirection Bell picked up the muskellunge he had caught and estimated its weight to be about ten kilograms. Even after removing the internal organs, the remaining meat should be enough for two people to have their fill. With Ped and the man¡¯s gains, the three of them could have a hearty meal tonight. ¡°Wuwu¡­¡± Just as Bell was thinking, he suddenly felt something touching his feet and saw Reserve Food looking at him pitifully. A black line appeared on Bell¡¯s forehead. Bell immediately understood what the little guy meant. He had forgotten about this little thing. Reserve Food was looking at the muskellunge in his hand with shining eyes. Arctic foxes ate meat as well. Eating berries and tree roots was just to fill their stomachs, and it could not increase their subcutaneous fat which was needed to withstand the cold. Seeing the little guy¡¯s pitiful expression, Bell could only cut off most of the fish tail with the dagger and give it to it. Seeing that it really had a share, the little guy jumped up happily. It rubbed against Bell affectionately. Then, it began to wolf down the food. Seeing the little guy like this, Bell felt a trace of sympathy. This little guy did not have its mother to help it hunt. It had probably not eaten much meat since it was young. Otherwise, it would not be so thin. Bell also felt hungry after seeing the little guy wolf down the food. Bell introduced the fish to the audience. ¡°This is muskellunge . They are very ferocious and eat a shocking amount every day. They can even eat food that is comparable to their weight. ¡± After confirming everyone¡¯s food intake, there was still some fish meat left. Bell thought for a moment and planned to leave the remaining fish meat for the next day. He did not want to experience the coldness of the river tomorrow morning, so he did not plan to fish tomorrow. Bell hung a portion of the fish meat on the tree branch and began to cook his dinner. Dinner was very simple. The three of them placed the fish into the canteens, filled them with river water, and slowly cooked them on the fire. Another portion of the fish meat was roasted. Soon, the fish skin began to crackle. The collagen in the fish skin also emitted a fragrance. Bell did not stay idle. He looked around to see if there was a suitable place to use as a shelter. But after scanning the area, he realized that there was nothing. ¡°Unfortunately, we did not find a shelter as good as yesterday. However, this is not necessarily a bad thing. At least it means that there are no traces of the bears nearby. We can only build a simple shelter tonight. Fortunately, we have already started a fire, so it shouldn¡¯t be too cold at night.¡± The three of them quickly picked up some dead branches. A triangular frame was made and covered with the parachute. Because there were three people in total, Bell did not dare to build it too narrow, which meant that the parachutes were far from enough. Bell looked around and finally walked to a white birch tree. Studying the thickness of the white birch tree, Bell nodded. ¡°Not bad. The bark of the white birch tree has many uses. Presumably, many people have seen it being used to start fire previously. In addition, white birch bark can also be used as medicine. But we don¡¯t plan to use this as medicine today.¡± Bell took out his dagger and cut a ring along the white birch tree. Under Bell¡¯s skilled action, a white birch tree bark about a meter square was quickly peeled off. But this was far from enough. After Bell taught Ped and the man, the three of them quickly gathered a large pile of white birch bark. ¡°Maybe some conservationists will be worried that these white birch trees will die when they see us skinning so many white birch trees. But I want to tell everyone that there is no need to worry about this. If it were other trees, they would definitely die after being skinned. However, the growth of white birch trees is different from other trees. Even if the bark is peeled off, new bark will grow. Because under normal circumstances, the bark of the white birch tree will fall off after a certain period of time, and the old bark will be replaced with new tender bark. ¡± The three of them returned to the shelter and spread the white birch bark on the parachute cloth. Then, he found some pine needles and laid them over the tent. After doing all this, Bell nodded in satisfaction. From a distance, the shelter built by the three of them was like a small slope. In terms of concealment, it was not bad. Moreover, because the outer layer had white birch bark and pine leaves, it became a form of protection due to the color. ¡°To be honest, there is no safety here. If we encounter a black bear or brown bear, it probably will collapse with a slap. ¡± While Bell was talking, the fish soup was ready, and the smell of fish meat drifted in the tent. At this moment, Reserve Food had already finished the fishtail that Bell had given it and was looking at the fish meat roasting on the fire. Looking at the other party¡¯s gluttonous expression, Bell curled his lips and flicked the little fox¡¯s head. He turned the fish over to avoid burning it. ¡°This fragrance is indeed very tempting, but I don¡¯t feel at ease eating it. If there are brown bears or black bears nearby, they will definitely follow the smell. ¡± Sometimes, in such an environment, one had to be in a highly tense state. ¡°It¡¯s not that I¡¯m too nervous, but there was a real case. A Canadian hunter entered the mountain to hunt and stuffed an apple into his pocket before sleeping. The cloth with the apple was placed under his head. When he was woken up in the middle of the night, he found a black bear beside him, constantly tearing his clothes to take out the apple.¡± ¡°I don¡¯t want to wake up at night and find a brown bear or black bear beside me. In fact, the reason why I hung the other half of the fish on the treetop is to attract the attention of these big guys.¡± ¡°The smell of fish is very strong. If anything happens, that portion can attract the attention of the bear and buy us time.¡± As he spoke, the fish meat on the fire was finally cooked. Bell couldn¡¯t wait to take a piece. He looked at the little fox and finally shook his head, throwing some to it. Chapter 197 - Sound in the Middle of the Night Looking at the fish meat thrown over again, Reserve Food was overjoyed. It quickly pounced forward. Bell could only shake his head helplessly. Although this guy was small, there was no ambiguity about its appetite. Seeing that the little guy had already begun to eat, Bell began to enjoy his dinner. Bell cut off a piece of fish meat with the dagger and quickly chewed it. The meat of the fish was very delicate. Coupled with the layer of crispy skin, the taste was very good. ¡°It tastes unexpectedly good. Compared to other fish, the smell of cold water fish is not that strong, and the meat is more delicate. In fact, I¡¯m already very satisfied to be able to eat hot food in this situation. ¡± Bell did not stop for a moment and stuffed another large piece of fish into his mouth. Ped and the man were like Bell. They could not be bothered to talk anymore. They had already reached their limits with these two days of hunger. Soon, the three of them finished eating the fish. Looking back, Bell saw Reserve Food lying on the ground, revealing its round stomach. Bell was speechless. This little guy actually ate so much at once. It had to be known that the amount he had given it earlier was not small. Even ordinary adult foxes could only eat so much. At this moment, the satisfied Reserve Food saw Bell turn around, and rubbed its head against Bell¡¯s hand. Good lord, it actually knew how to please people. Seeing the little guy like this, the audience in the live-stream was also shocked. The comments instantly filled the screen. There was also a large pile of gifts. ¡°Haha, this little guy is too smart. It actually didn¡¯t forget to curry favor with Bell for the next meal.¡± ¡°Little guy, you can¡¯t eat too much. Otherwise, you might really become a reserve food at any time.¡± ¡°Fortunately, Bell caught the fish. Otherwise, this small Reserve Food would probably be on the grill today.¡± ¡°The little guy is too cute. I want to raise an Arctic fox too.¡± The live-stream was instantly conquered by the cuteness of Reserve Food. At this moment, Bell and the other two had already finished the grilled fish. At this moment, they were eating the fish soup. After drinking a mouthful of fish soup, Bell heaved a sigh of relief. ¡°It¡¯s really comfortable. Perhaps because of the environment, this fish soup is more delicious than anything I drank before. I also know that this is mainly a psychological effect. But this is really what I feel now. ¡± ¡°At this moment, I really have to say that I admire the expedition team that is stationed in the Arctic Circle all year round. We are just recording a survival program, while they live in an environment dozens of degrees below zero all year round.¡± ¡°Our adventure today ends here. We have to leave this mountain range as soon as possible tomorrow morning. The black bears and brown bears in this mountain range are making me uneasy. There is too much uncertainty in this forest. The further inland we go, the higher the temperature will be. By then, it will be much easier for us.¡± As he spoke, Bell had already finished the fish soup. Looking at the completely dark sky, Bell smiled and said to the audience in the live-stream. ¡°Alright, everyone, it¡¯s already very late. It¡¯s time to rest. Then we¡¯ll end the recording here today. See you tomorrow.¡± With that, Bell went to sleep. Ped and the man were still communicating with the audience in the live-stream. Compared to Jack¡¯s group, Bear, and Ed, Bell¡¯s group was not slow. The main reason was that the raft today had greatly increased Bell¡¯s progress. Through the audience in the live-stream, Ped learned about the other teams. At this moment, some of the audience mentioned Jack. The comments mentioned that many people in Jack¡¯s team had frostbite. Moreover, they had not eaten for nearly two days. There were already signs of internal strife in the team. Ped only shook his head and said nothing. Jack was asking for it. After several tests, Ped was sure that Bell was not someone he could provoke. Instead of stepping on Bell to climb up the ladder, it was better to build a good relationship with Bell as soon as possible. It could also make his future live broadcast smoother. Unfortunately, there was no turning back for Jack. This guy would probably not be seen again in topics of wilderness survival. Ped did not pity him. Bell did not know or care about Jack¡¯s situation. He could not even be bothered to ask. Such thoughts would only hinder his progress. Therefore, despite Jack¡¯s pressure, Bell continued to do things methodically. When it was time to rest, Bell did not continue to force himself. He found something to rest under his head and fell asleep. Seeing Bell like this, Reserve Food looked with its round eyes. Then, it carefully moved into Bell¡¯s arms. Bell felt something furry and warm on him. It was obvious that it was the little Reserve Food. This little guy was quite clingy. The warmth of the fire and Reserve Food¡¯s thick fur warmed him. Bell quickly fell asleep. The three had thought that the night would pass peacefully. However, sometimes, the heavens did not want things to go according to your wish. At midnight. Bell was still sleeping. Suddenly, there was a rustling sound outside the tent. The vigilant Bell immediately sat up quietly. This sound was not a good sign. Bell picked up the dagger, his eyes wary. The fire was still burning outside. It was not completely extinguished. Occasionally, there would be the sound of firewood crackling. This calmed Bell down. After all, the fire could drive away the beasts to a certain extent, greatly increasing their chances of survival. At the same time, Bell heard the rustling sound becoming louder and louder. Clearly, it was approaching the tent. Chapter 198 - Black Bear Knocks on the Door in the Middle of the Night As the sound outside became louder, Bell¡¯s expression became solemn. This situation could only mean one thing. In this dark night, a creature was gradually approaching him. In this wilderness, the only thing Bell could connect this to was those dangerous beasts. Although the fire was still burning, the flames had become very small. His visibility was less than five meters. He carefully woke Ped and the man. The two of them were woken up by Bell. They were still puzzled, but Bell gestured for them to keep quiet. Seeing Bell¡¯s serious expression, the two of them immediately realized something. After a flash of panic, they fell silent. The three of them carefully climbed out of the tent. Under Bell¡¯s instructions, they did not get up directly but hid at the side of the tent. The sound in the darkness was getting closer and closer to the three of them. Bell felt that his two teammates were very afraid. Even their bodies were trembling. A few seconds later, there was another rustling sound. With the help of the faint light from the fire, Bell finally saw a dark figure. That figure was¡­ a black bear! Bell¡¯s heart sank. This guy had indeed followed the smell of fish. After Bell¡¯s actions, Reserve Food, who had been hiding in Bell¡¯s arms, was awakened. It stuck its head out in a daze. It happened to see the black bear. Reserve Food was shocked. Like a frightened groundhog, it immediately shrank back and couldn¡¯t help but tremble. Bell was in no mood to pay attention to it. He turned on the recording equipment in the live-stream and glanced at the time. It was two in the morning. It was time for the nocturnal hunters to hunt. He had not seen this black bear before, nor had he provoked it. Therefore, there was only one possibility for it to appear here. Clearly, this was a hungry black bear. This was not good news. Bell was not sure if this guy would attack after seeing the three of them. He could not gamble. Bell carefully adjusted the camera. When the live broadcast opened, some night owls immediately entered the live-stream. ¡°Haha, is Bell giving out late-night benefits?¡± ¡°F*ck, what is that?!¡± ¡°A bear!¡± ¡°No wonder Bell is doing a live broadcast!¡± ¡°The ingredient has already been delivered to his door. Can Bell still endure it?¡± ¡°According to Bell¡¯s performance today, I think he will definitely withdraw.¡± ¡°Damn, this scene is too exciting.¡± ¡°Where¡¯s Reserve Food? Was it thrown away?¡± ¡°Previous poster, is there a need to ask? Look at the shaking in Bell¡¯s jacket. He must have hidden Reserve Food inside.¡± ¡°Haha, it seems like this little guy was really frightened.¡± At this moment, Bell was in no mood to pay attention to the comments in the live-stream. His eyes were fixed on the black bear. As he spoke, the black bear was already slowly approaching and appeared in the light of the fire. Bell observed carefully. It was a black bear about 1.3 meters tall. Looking at its bulky figure, it should weigh about 100 kilograms. From its size, it should be a female. In the wild, there was a huge difference in size between male and female black bears. The adult black bear was about 2.5 meters tall and weighed 260 kilograms. This bear¡¯s size and weight was more compatible with female black bears. After knowing this, Bell heaved a sigh of relief. If there was no need, Bell was unwilling to hurt these black bears. But once a hungry beast attacked him, he had to make a corresponding battle plan. He had the Intimidation skill. In addition, the Wilderness Hunter skill strengthened all his stats. If he really staked everything, he should be evenly matched with this black bear. But in the end, it was hard to say who would live and who would die. If there was no need, Bell did not want to choose this path. After all, this was a beast. It would not stop when it attacked. Once the fight started, it would definitely be a matter of life and death. Although this black bear could not be compared to male black bears, it still depended on the target. If Bell was really hit by this bear¡¯s paw, it would be normal for his bones to break. Bell carefully observed the black bear. It swayed and arrived under the tree with fish meat. It seemed like it was attracted by the fish meat. The black bear tried its best to stand up and reach out to take the fish meat. However, its front limbs were too short. No matter how hard it tried, it could not succeed. At this moment, the black bear suddenly seemed to have discovered something. It turned its gaze to the drone that was cruising in the sky, instantly arousing its curiosity. Seeing this, Bell couldn¡¯t help but panic. Good lord, why are you interested in this thing? If this recording equipment was destroyed, then this episode would have been in vain. Frowning, Bell reached for the dagger at his waist. At the same time, he was thinking about how to kill this black bear with the smallest price. They were hiding behind the tent. Unless the black bear climbed over the tent, it would not discover Bell¡¯s group. Once this black bear revealed a flaw, Bell would use Intimidation immediately. The skill would reduce the attributes of the black bear by half and cause it to fall into a confused state. Although it was only for a few seconds, it should be enough for him to stab its head. This plan was perfect, and the chances of victory were very high. Bell narrowed his eyes and gradually entered a focused state. He only had one chance. He could not fail. However, time passed second by second. After waiting for a while, Bell realized that the black bear did not climb over the tent as he had expected. Bell could not help but be curious. He carefully stuck his head out and looked in the direction of the black bear. A few black lines appeared on Bell¡¯s head. Did I overestimate this guy? This was clearly a f*cking IQ flaw. Chapter 199 - Coincidence Seeing that the black bear did not climb over the tent as he had expected, Bell couldn¡¯t help but stick his head out to see what was going on with this black bear. Bell was speechless when he saw the situation. The black bear was standing between the tent and the drone, looking around. It seemed to be hesitating whether to choose the fish meat on the tree or the drone above the tent. One could satisfy its curiosity, while the other would fill its stomach. It had to be said that this scene was very funny, but it also made people speechless. Bell couldn¡¯t help but frown. Ped and the thin man were like Bell. They were not as nervous as before when they saw the black bear. The audience in the live-stream couldn¡¯t help but comment. ¡°Hahaha, this black bear is too stupid.¡± ¡°F*ck, Bell was having an adrenaline rush and was clearly about to attack. Why are you acting cute?¡± ¡°Black bear: This or that is a question worth thinking about.¡± ¡°The situation became very awkward.¡± After struggling for a full minute, the black bear finally made a choice. Hunger finally overcame curiosity. It looked reluctantly at the drone on the tent. In the end, it walked to the tree and continued to stretch its fat palm to reach the fish meat on the tree. However, after trying a few times, it still could not reach it. The black bear could only turn its gaze to the drone that had attracted its attention. Seeing this, the three of them tensed up again. Bell was prepared to activate his skills at any time. However, to his surprise, the black bear turned around after taking two steps. Seeing this, Bell almost cursed. ¡®Are you f*cking going to attack or not?¡¯ The black bear sat on the ground unsteadily. After more than ten minutes, it still did not move and looked around. It was clearly in a dilemma. Faced with this situation, Reserve Food in Bell¡¯s jacket was no longer afraid. Coupled with the temperature in Bell¡¯s clothes, it fell asleep again. But Bell was not in such a good mood. He had to seize the initiative in the game with this black bear. If he attacked rashly, his chances of winning would be very low. It was two in the morning, and the temperature in the forest was -20 degrees Celsius. The dagger in his hand was almost frozen. Moreover, the fire would be extinguished soon. According to Bell¡¯s estimation, this fire could only last for about three minutes before completely extinguishing. Once there was no fire, the danger factor would increase greatly. More importantly, his vision would be blocked. On the other hand, the black bear had thick skin and would be fine even if it sat there for several days and nights. But Bell could not stay here. Not to mention a few days and nights, if he stood in such an environment for just an hour, he would lose feeling in his hands and feet. At that time, there was no need to fight. Even the chances of escaping from this black bear were not high. Faced with this situation, Bell could only slowly stand up and walk to the fire as quietly as possible to add more firewood. With the firewood, the fire gradually became stronger. The range of vision that was originally five meters slowly increased to ten meters. The increase in the fire also attracted the black bear¡¯s attention. The cute black bear turned around and immediately noticed Bell. Seeing Bell, the black bear was shocked and crawled more than ten steps back. It only stopped when it retreated to a pine tree and hid in the darkness. At the same time, it did not forget to stare carefully at Bell with its dark eyes. Bell only stood beside the fire. He explained to the audience in the live-stream. ¡°Although these black bears are very muscular, they are very vigilant and are easily frightened. But this might not be a good thing. Perhaps they will run away in fear when they see you, but if you agitate them to a certain extent, they will pounce on you without care because they feel that you are already a threat. And I think the reason why it retreated is not because it saw me, but because it was mainly frightened by this fire.¡± ¡°Wild beasts fear fire. This is their most primitive instinct, but we can¡¯t let our guard down. Once we really anger them and make them lose their minds, even if it¡¯s their primitive instinct, they will overcome it and counterattack. Survival is the first instinct of living creatures.¡± ¡°There was once a Japanese man who tried to use his torch to drive the black bear away. At first, the effect was very good, but after forcing it to retreat twice, the black bear was completely angered. In the end, this Japanese was torn to pieces.¡± ¡°I don¡¯t want to follow in his footsteps.¡± While speaking, Bell glanced at the careful black bear hiding behind the pine tree. ¡°In fact, this black bear is very sensitive. The increase in the fire and my appearance made it a little afraid. If nothing goes wrong, it will leave soon.¡± However, just as Bell finished speaking, the black bear, who had been vigilant behind the tree, looked at Bell and seemed to realize that the other party was not a threat to it, so it became bold. The black bear stood up like a human and kept roaring at Bell, as if it wanted to scare him away. Bell was so angry that he laughed. Good lord, this guy was quite smart. ¡°Of course, if we see such a shameless creature, we can¡¯t show weakness. Otherwise, they will treat you as food.¡± Looking at the roaring black bear, Bell picked up a tree branch and threw it at it. According to Bell¡¯s expectations, after being hit, the guy would definitely turn and escape without hesitation. However, sometimes, things would happen opposite what you expected. The black bear, who was standing upright, crawled down again on all fours, perhaps because it was afraid of the tree branch or for some other reason. The tree branch that should have hit its stomach hit its nose. Things were getting out of hand. The force that Bell had used to throw the branch was not small. If it had only hit the black bear¡¯s stomach, because of the fat layer and the protection of its fur, it would not have felt any pain. It would only be a little afraid and retreat. But it was different now. This was real pain. Roar! It was a furious roar. The black bear¡¯s dazed expression instantly disappeared. Instead, it looked at Bell fiercely. Its body was like a small armored car that rushed straight at Bell. Bell was stunned. This was too much of a coincidence. He just wanted to scare it. He had not expected things to turn out like this. The audience in the live-stream was stunned like Bell. Then, they started commenting. ¡°Run, Bell, this black bear is crazy.¡± ¡°F*ck, this is bad.¡± ¡°It¡¯s time to decide.¡± ¡°Come, come, come. I think Bell can win. Let¡¯s bet.¡± ¡°Bell: I¡¯m verbally submissive, but when taking actions, I am the vanguard!¡± Some persuaded Bell to escape, some were curious, and some hoped the scene would blow up. Bell was in no mood to pay attention to these comments. At this moment, his attention was focused on the black bear. Chapter 200 - What Black Bear? It’s Just a Ride! Bell tightened his grip on the dagger. He focused all his attention on the black bear. He was silently calculating the time it would take for the black bear to reach him. The intimidation skill could only be maintained for a second. Therefore, he had to grasp this time. There was no room for mistakes. Once this black bear entered the confused state, it would be the time for him to attack. If he compared the stats, Bell was sure that this black bear¡¯s stats were definitely three times higher than that of an adult man. His current physique was at most comparable to an adult male. If it were a head-on battle, he would definitely be dead meat. But in a battle in the wild, physique could not decide everything. What Bell had to do now was to end this battle as quickly as possible. Wilderness Hunter could increase his attributes. But these were not the most important. The Intimidation skill was Bell¡¯s greatest reliance now. At this moment, Bell and the black bear were like two martial arts experts exchanging blows. The final outcome was about to be decided right at the start. Thump, thump. Bell¡¯s heart was beating normally, but he could hear it clearly. The surrounding environment seemed to slow down. Ten meters, nine meters, eight meters, seven meters. Intimidation! When the black bear was only a meter away from Bell, his eyes focused. It was as if he had become a different person. The black bear, whose eyes were red from Bell¡¯s provocation, revealed confusion and a trace of fear. Seeing this, Bell was overjoyed, but his actions were not slow at all. The dagger accurately pierced the black bear¡¯s head. However, Bell forgot one thing. Under the Intimidation skill, the black bear fell into a chaotic state. But because of the inertia of its body, it was still rushing forward. This was more than a hundred kilograms. If he was really hit by it, Bell would definitely have a fracture. But at such a close distance, it was impossible to dodge. Helpless, Bell could only use his last bit of strength to jump onto the black bear¡¯s back at an extremely fast speed. The black bear rushed more than ten meters away with Bell. Faced with this scene, everyone in the live-stream was dumbfounded. This was too f*cking extreme. They had seen people riding cows, horses, sheep, and pigs, but this was the first time they had seen someone riding a bear. ¡°F*ck, Bell, amazing!¡± ¡°Winter is coming!¡± ¡°Huzzah!¡± ¡°Haha, didn¡¯t you say that it was very dangerous? Why are you riding it now?¡± ¡°As expected, Bell is Bell. He will never disappoint us.¡± ¡°Host, I¡¯ll give you full marks for this round. I¡¯m not afraid of you being proud.¡± Everything happened in a flash. A second passed quickly. In fact, the moment Bell rode on the black bear, the intimidation effect had already disappeared. The black bear woke up. At this moment, it had already rushed more than ten meters with Bell. But even though the dagger stabbed into its head, this black bear did not die immediately. Its terrifying vitality allowed it to stand up like a human again. It shook its body hard, wanting to throw Bell off it. Bell naturally would not let it have its way. He knew very well that once he was thrown down, the outcome was destined to be his death. At this moment, Bell could only grab the black bear¡¯s fur tightly, wishing he could hold its flesh. At the same time, the dagger in his hand was constantly moving down. The black bear¡¯s skin was very thick. Although Bell¡¯s dagger was given by the system and was very tough, the dagger¡¯s size was limited. Unless it was stabbed into a fatal point, such as the heart and brain, other parts could only cause damage to the bear, but not be fatal. The black bear was trying its best to shake off the human behind it, but this little guy stuck to it like a plaster. The black bear was even more furious. Its four feet hit the ground heavily, and it swung its body even harder. Bell gritted his teeth and refused to let go. He even used his teeth to hold on to the bear. This was a true life and death battle. Ped and the thin man were shocked when they saw this. Seeing Bell and bear fight so desperately, the two of them did not have the courage to interfere. However, they did not leave him in the lurch. Instead, they took burning branches and kept throwing them at the black bear. However, this action agitated the black bear even more. On the other hand, Bell was in no mood to care about anything else. He kept trying to push the dagger into the black bear¡¯s brain. The knife needed to be pierced another five centimeters and it would reach the brain, but this short distance was a huge obstacle. The black bear was struggling so intensely that Bell did not dare to move too much. Otherwise, he would immediately be thrown down. Reserve Food that had been hiding in Bell¡¯s clothes had long woken up. Fortunately, the jacket on Bell was tight enough to prevent it from falling out and being trampled into meat paste by the black bear. After struggling for a while, the black bear seemed to have lost a lot of strength. Bell took the opportunity to move to an ideal position and exerted force on the dagger. Pcchh! Bell seemed to have broken through the last line of defense and accurately stabbed the dagger into the black bear¡¯s brain. Then, he twisted his wrist. The pain stimulated the black bear¡¯s strength. With a bang, Bell could not hold on anymore and was sent flying. The black bear staggered and wanted to pounce on Bell, but it could already feel its life draining away. Its body weighing more than a hundred kilograms fell to the ground as it died. Bell jumped to his feet, feeling like his body was about to fall apart. Fortunately, he was not seriously injured, only feeling uncomfortable from the fall. Seeing that the black bear was really killed, the two people beside him heaved a sigh of relief and quickly walked forward. ¡°Bell, are you okay?¡± ¡°Oh my god, you¡¯re simply the craziest person I¡¯ve ever seen.¡± ¡°This is a bear!¡± Ped and the man were so frightened that they were incoherent. Looking at Bell and then themselves, they immediately felt that they had lived in vain. Bell was panting heavily. The danger was gone and he revealed a smile. ¡°I was really too lucky. If I hadn¡¯t landed on its back, I would probably be the one lying on the ground.¡± Chapter 201 - Soft Gold After successfully escaping danger, Bell heaved a sigh of relief. ¡°When I was on its back, I felt like I was on a tractor while it¡¯s moving in the fields.¡± As he spoke, Bell suddenly thought of something. He unzipped his jacket and pulled out Reserve Food hidden inside. This little guy was still trembling. After being pulled out, it still looked innocent and wanted to crawl back in. Seeing this timid appearance, Bell rolled his eyes. Seeing that the little guy was fine, Bell ignored it and put it aside. After the small Reserve Food was placed on the ground, it saw the fallen black bear corpse and was shocked again. It slipped behind Bell. Seeing that there was no movement for a long time, it popped its head out and looked in the direction of the black bear. Realizing that this big guy had not moved, it became much bolder. It slowly walked out from behind Bell. It went to the black bear and gently touched it with its short front claws before quickly retracting. After testing twice and realizing that the other party did not move, the little guy finally became bold. It bared its teeth at the black bear and even hit it with its front claws. Bell did not know whether to laugh or cry. This guy knew how to judge the situation. The audience in the live-stream was also amused. ¡°Good insight, going with the flow.¡± ¡°Haha, the little guy ran quite quickly when fighting, but now that the bear is dead, it has become bolder.¡± ¡°Reserve Food: You might not believe it, but Bell and I killed it casually.¡± ¡°Reserve Food: Bell, the two of us are too strong!¡± Bell rubbed its head before looking at the bear¡¯s corpse. ¡°Alright, although I just experienced some danger, huge danger has huge benefits. For example, with this black bear, we don¡¯t have to worry about food for days. Moreover, the black bear¡¯s fur is very thick and can be used as a blanket. It will be even warmer tonight. ¡± ¡°But we have to be quick. We have to leave this place at dawn. This thick smell of blood might be smelled by other bears. I¡¯m not confident of killing another black bear alone. ¡± As he spoke, Bell called for Ped and the thin man. Although it was only 100 kilograms, it was still very difficult for the few of them to drag it. The three of them and Reserve Food worked together to drag the black bear¡¯s corpse to the fire. With the help of the light from the fire, Bell cut open the black bear¡¯s stomach with the dagger. Its muscles ruptured, and its internal organs slid out. The dense smell made the three of them frown. ¡°This smell is simply too much. I feel like I¡¯m going to vomit my dinner.¡± Bell endured the smell and searched for something. His eyes suddenly lit up. Among the messy internal organs, Bell found a meat ball the size of a water bag. The surface of this ball of meat was slightly transparent, and some sticky golden liquid could be vaguely seen inside. Bell said as he raised this thing to the camera. ¡°Look at this. This is bear gall, and the liquid inside is bile. Even if I don¡¯t say it, many people know that the bile inside is called soft gold in the animal world. At present, gold is only 300 to 400 RMB per gram. But this wild bear bile can cost as high as 900 RMB per gram. Even so, there is no market for it. ¡± Bell weighed the bear gallbladder in his hand. If it was dried, it would be at least 200 grams. If it was sold, considering the scarcity in the market, it could be sold for at least 250,000. After all, it came from the wild and had very high medicinal value. This thing was a rare thing. It was not easy to obtain it legally. Before Bell came, the production team had already arranged everything. In the situation where he did not use firearms, the wild animals he hunted could be considered his personal gain. Of course, this was just a symbolic rule. No one had thought that a child like Bell could kill a black bear by himself. But it seemed like this symbolic rule worked to Bell¡¯s favor. The three of them quickly started dealing with the black bear. Bell put the bear gallbladder in his backpack and placed it in a different compartment than Reserve Food¡¯s nest. This little guy did not know how precious this thing was. If it was placed with it, it might eat it. After removing the internal organs, they skinned the bear. Bell scraped off the thick layer of fat under the bear skin. Under the fur, there was a layer of mucous membrane between the fat. When peeling the skin, he did a small cut and pulled down hard, obtaining a complete bear skin. After removing the fur, internal organs, and head, there was only about 60 kilograms of edible meat left. However, this was not a small number. Bell cut off the black bear¡¯s paws and placed them on the fire to prepare breakfast. At the same time, he looked at Reserve Food and was worried that it would eat the bear gallbladder. He also took out the fish meat he had stored earlier and fed it. Looking at such a huge piece of fish meat, Reserve Food jumped happily. It rubbed Bell¡¯s hand affectionately and began to enjoy its breakfast. After removing the excess fat from the bear skin with the dagger, he placed the bear skin on the shelf that had been made earlier and let the fire slowly evaporate the water inside. Looking at the huge bear skin, Bell frowned. ¡°Our backpacks definitely can¡¯t hold this bear skin. We cannot cut it too. It seems like we have to make a frame to drag it. Although it will affect our speed, we already got food so we don¡¯t need to spend time searching for it. It¡¯s a little troublesome, but it¡¯s worth it. ¡± Bell began to search around. Chapter 202 - What Cooking Method? In fact, it was not very difficult to make a frame. It did not even take long. With Bell¡¯s proficient techniques, he completed a frame that was about 1.5 meters long in less than ten minutes. Then, he used the parachute rope to hold it firmly. The three of them put the bear meat onto the stretcher. Bell handed the end of the ropes to Ped and the man. ¡°Students, I have a mission for you.¡± Ped and the man took the rope. Bell had been busy along the way, and the two of them had not helped much. The two of them quietly played support and did whatever Bell did. The entire live broadcast became Bell¡¯s personal show again. Hearing Bell¡¯s reminder, Ped realized that he was a student. He had to learn from Bell. When there was time to do hard work, he had to charge forward. However, even so, Ped was not dissatisfied. Compared to Jack and the others, Ped and the thin man felt that they were much luckier. Although they had been hungry for a while, they were still able to maintain a good state. Before going to bed last night, Ped had learned about the situation of the other teams through the comments in the live-stream. If nothing went wrong, an accident would happen today to Jack¡¯s team. After leaving Bell for so long, Jack and the others had not found any food. Instead, there were all kinds of dangers. Everyone in the team was complaining. They were all injured, so how could they continue moving? Jack was in a good state. It was not that his survival skills were brilliant, but as the leader of this team, he had basically ordered others to do all the dangerous things. This saved him from danger again and again. But if this continued, there would probably be trouble very soon. Bell did not know about this. Bell looked at the bear meat on the frame happily. Because the temperature here was below zero all year round, this place was like a natural refrigerator. This bear meat would not go bad even if it was placed outside for half a month. The bear paws on the fire emitted a fragrant smell. Bell found a wooden stick and fiddled with the bear paw. The outer layer of the bear paws was charred black. The two bear paws were very fat, enough for three people. Bell did not eat immediately. To be honest, looking at these two dark things, even Bell, who had seen many things, was a little hesitant. As for Ped and the man, there was no need to mention them. In the entire team, only Reserve Food would not despise this food. Smelling the fragrance of meat, the gluttonous Reserve Food stuck its head out again. But when it saw those two dark things, it immediately turned its gaze back to its fish. Alright, he was wrong. Reserve Food did not want to eat it either. F*ck, was there a mistake? Even dogs despised the meat? Reserve Food was not a dog, but foxes were also canines. Bell carefully cut off the skin with the dagger. The fatty meat inside was revealed. ¡°I¡¯ve never eaten this thing before, so I don¡¯t know how to eat it. However, to be honest, it doesn¡¯t look like it¡¯s that delicious. ¡± A strong stench immediately seeped out from the charred skin. Even the fragrance of the meat was covered. However, the tofu-like meat could still be seen. He cut off a piece and placed it in his mouth. Immediately, other than the stench, there was only a stench. What was this feeling? It tasted like pig trotters. But this complicated taste. Bell was speechless. Swallowing the food in his mouth, Bell looked at the camera expressionlessly. ¡°I know many of you are curious about the taste of this bear paw. I can give you a chance. Do you want to hear the truth or lie?¡± Some wanted to hear the truth, while others wanted to hear the lie. Bell shrugged. ¡°The lie is that it tastes so-so.¡± ¡°The truth is that it tastes too f*cking bad. It tastes worse than the camel hump meat. I do not know what kind of superb cooking technique can cook such a disgusting thing into a top quality dish. Other than the fishy smell, there¡¯s a foul smell. Moreover, I can¡¯t chew it no matter what. It¡¯s like chewing a rubber band.¡± Bell was speechless. The audience in the live-stream did not have the slightest sympathy. A string of comments saying ¡®great¡¯, ¡®awesome¡¯, ¡®hahaha¡¯, were constantly sent. These netizens were really too difficult to manage. ¡°That shouldn¡¯t be. Didn¡¯t the articles say that bear paws are very delicious?¡± ¡°Haha, I knew it. The hump meat was like this too. ¡°As expected, we don¡¯t understand the world of the rich.¡± ¡°How bad is this thing? Bell even compares the taste of insects to chicken, but he is actually such an expression when eating this?¡± ¡°This is the first time I¡¯m so interested in such disgusting food.¡± ¡°Hahaha, both men and dogs hate it.¡± ¡°Thank you, Boss Black Bear, for providing us with food. Reserve Food has lived to see another day.¡± Many people in the live-stream were amused by the expression of Reserve Food. Bell did not say anything else. He had to hurry. It was almost dawn, and the smell spread very quickly. Although the taste was unpleasant, Bell still divided the two bear paws into three portions and shared them with Ped and the man. This was indeed a good virtue. But after tasting the bear paw, Ped and the man felt that this virtue was unnecessary. Humans could not, or at least they should not do this. The three of them ate the two bear paws with tears in their eyes. No matter how bad it tasted, there was indeed a lot of fat and protein in the bear paw. Just a small piece of the bear meat could provide more energy than eating three to five rainbow trouts. Bell finished the bear paw with difficulty. He looked at the small Reserve Food rolling on the ground and rubbed its head. This guy did not seem promising. If this continued, its light blue skin would probably turn orange soon. Are you f*cking sure you¡¯re not an orange cat disguised as an Arctic fox? Chapter 203 - Face It Looking at the bulging stomach, Bell rolled his eyes. ¡°Eat more, or you won¡¯t be a food reserve.¡± Bell looked at the little guy maliciously. However, the little guy did not seem to realize Bell¡¯s thoughts. Instead, it rubbed against Bell¡¯s hand affectionately. Alright, it looks like it was not only gluttonous, but also had a low IQ. Bell and the other two were woken up by the black bear¡¯s rustling at around two in the morning. It was already four in the morning. It was less than four hours until dawn. The three of them still had to continue moving with the wooden frame. After all, they could not waste so much food. After thinking for a long time, Bell saw that Ped and the man did not seem to be in a good state of mind. Bell looked at the two of them and said. ¡°Let¡¯s rest for a while and adjust our spirits. We have a very important mission today.¡± The three of them returned to the tent. Bell had exhausted a lot of energy when fighting the black bear. He lay in the shelter and fell asleep in a moment. Little Reserve Food was in good spirits. After all, it had not been disturbed too much. Moreover, it could sleep from time to time while hiding in Bell¡¯s backpack. It was simply living a carefree life. It could eat and sleep whenever it wanted. The little guy seemed to feel that the tent was very warm, so it lay on Bell¡¯s body. When Ped and the thin man saw that the boy and the fox were so harmonious, the two of them looked at each other with a trace of helplessness. Bell had a strong psychological endurance. He could still sleep after the life-and-death battle with the black bear, but the two of them did not have such a strong mind. In the end, the two of them only fell half-asleep. Time passed quickly. When Bell woke up again, it was already dawn. The little Reserve Food that had been moving around on his body fell asleep. He picked it up and threw it into his backpack. Bell did not wake Ped and the man. The two of them still had to do physical labor today, so they needed to rest well. The two of them had probably just fallen asleep. After all, the two of them did not have strong mental fortitude like him. While the two of them were asleep, he still had to do some other things to prepare for today. After packing up, Bell walked out of the tent. As soon as he walked out of the tent, the cold wind made Bell shiver. At the same time, his lingering sleepiness completely dissipated. The audience in his live-stream did not decrease because of his sleep. Instead, it increased greatly. Moreover, most of the topics were about the little fox on Bell¡¯s chest. He did not expect that although this little guy was gluttonous, it could still bring him a lot of fans. Alright, he would not eat it for now. It had been a while since Bell¡¯s live-stream had a large increase of fans. But during Bell¡¯s normal live broadcast, the number could still reach tens of millions of people. It could even reach above 50 million at its peak. This was definitely a terrifying conversion rate. At least for now, no one could surpass Bell. With Bell¡¯s current number of fans, he had tens of thousands of popularity points every day. Bell couldn¡¯t help but sigh. Back then, when he had just started the live broadcast, it had taken him more than half a month to accumulate some popularity. Now, it was much easier. However, as he continued to participate in programs and adventure everywhere, Bell consumed more and more popularity points. But even so, Bell was in a good mood. He believed that as the popularity of his stream increased, he would obtain more popularity points every day. It was not impossible for him to draw a skill once a day. Just the thought of it made him excited. After walking out of the shelter, Bell looked around and found some firewood. Then, he placed it in the fire and made it bigger. He took out the dagger and cut off the parts of the black bear. He put them on the wooden stick and began to cook them beside the fire. Then, Bell came to the river alone and washed his face with the river water. Looking at the slowly flowing river, Bell wanted to make another raft. Because in this case, the three of them would not have to drag the heavy bear meat, and it would be relatively safe and fast. However, the few times he floated in the river, he seemed to have failed every time. This made Bell wonder if he really had a conflict with the bamboo raft. It was simply ridiculous. Every time he rode a bamboo raft, he would fail. Uh, he could not say that. He had succeeded once in Shennongjia. However, on careful thought, the raft seemed to have sunk first and floated on the water again after being modified. Bell stood by the river and pondered for a long time. If they carried the bear meat through the forest, it would undoubtedly increase the burden on the three of them. Moreover, there were more wild beasts in the forest. It was difficult to guarantee that they would not encounter danger. This time, the three of them were lucky. They had only encountered a female black bear. If it were an Alaska brown bear, even if Bell had skills, he would have to escape obediently. Moreover, whether he could escape or not was another matter. Bears had a very sensitive sense of smell. Walking in the forest with so much bear meat was like starting a fire in the night. It was so eye-catching. ¡°F*ck, I don¡¯t believe I¡¯m really so unlucky.¡± In the end, Bell made the decision. Logically speaking, his level of making the bamboo raft was strengthened by the system¡¯s skill. He should not be so lousy. However, reality seemed to give him a blow every time. Bell made up his mind. If he failed again, he would never touch this evil thing. After making the decision, Bell did not delay. He called Ped and the man. The two of them had rested enough. It was time to get busy. After all, he was their mentor and not their follower. In the end, they had to do most of the work. The two of them walked out of the tent in a daze. Then, they dismantled the tent and pulled out the wood inside to use as materials for making the raft. Seeing Bell move again, the audience in the live-stream became lively. They looked at him and immediately laughed. ¡°Haha, the host doesn¡¯t believe in superstition.¡± Chapter 204 - The Progress of the Teams Seeing that Bell was not giving up, everyone in the live-stream was amused. ¡°Hahaha, I like Bell¡¯s temper.¡± ¡°Bell, why don¡¯t we forget it and stop struggling?¡± ¡°That day, Bell encountered his lifelong enemy.¡± ¡°To sink like this or sink like that, this is the question.¡± ¡°Schrodinger¡¯s raft.¡± Looking at the ridiculing comments in the live-stream, Bell rolled his eyes. These guys only knew how to joke. His raft was not even built yet, and they were already saying that he would definitely not make it. I don¡¯t believe this. I have to test it today. He had to slap their faces when he finished building the raft. Bell held his breath. Normally, he would only take ten minutes or so to build the raft, but this time, he spent an hour to finally finish it. The main structure of the raft did not change. But compared to the raft he had made before, its structure was stronger. Because of this result that had taken him an hour of effort, even if he encountered the situation yesterday again, he would be able to pass it safely. At the very least, it would not fall apart in the rocky area. Although Ped and the man did not know why Bell was obsessed about this, they were willing to help Bell complete this matter. At the very least, the two of them had to admit that after sitting on the raft, their speed had indeed increased. Moreover, without this raft, the two of them would be the ones to carry this 60 kilograms of bear meat. The stamina consumption was definitely huge. After Bell finished the raft, the bear meat beside the fire was already charred. The three of them did not mind and finished distributing the bear meat. They pushed the raft to the shore. Then, Bell stuffed the bowstring and Reserve Food into his backpack. Immediately after, the bear meat was pushed onto the raft. Clearly, Bell was planning to gamble this time. After the cold weather outside for the past few hours, the bear meat had already frozen into a lump. After extinguishing the fire, the three of them made all the preparations. ¡°After some consideration, I decided to plan our route on the water. Whether it¡¯s in terms of safety or time, the best choice now is to take the water route. ¡± Ped and the man shrugged and said nothing. As students, what else could they say? It was fine as long as Bell was happy. When the people in the live-stream heard that Bell still chose to take the water route, they also watched like they wanted to see the matter blow up. Seeing that no one believed him, Bell pouted. Bell took a deep breath and jumped onto the bamboo raft. He tried and found that the bamboo raft was quite stable. Then, Ped and the man walked up like Bell. The three of them walked onto the bamboo raft. The bamboo raft did not sink, making them heave a sigh of relief. Bell was mainly afraid that the face-slapping would happen too quickly. He was worried that his hour-long effort would be wasted. Fortunately, the raft did not disappoint him. Holding the wooden branches that they had prepared in advance, the three of them jumped onto the raft and pushed it to the center of the river. Following the river, the raft began to slowly float down. Bell placed the bear skin on the raft to block the dampness. Looking at the rows of comments on the screen, they said that the raft would definitely sink. Bell pointed his middle finger at the camera. ¡°You¡¯re gloating. I swear that this raft will not sink. The previous rafts I made were also fine. The reason why they sank was just bad luck. If this raft sinks as well, I won¡¯t make a raft again.¡± ¡°If I¡¯m not wrong, this river will eventually flow into the Chena River. When we get there, we will be very close to success. By then, we will only be two days away from Fairbanks. Most importantly, the temperature there will increase, and there are not so many black bears and brown bears.¡± ¡°According to the speed at which the raft is moving, if nothing goes wrong,¡­.ptui, ptui, nothing will happen this time. We will reach the Chena River this afternoon. ¡± Bell quickly took back his words as if he was worried of jinxing himself. Ped and the man were helpless. Good lord, he himself was not confident in his raft. The live-stream was also filled with laughter. Time passed slowly. Bell was not as relaxed as he looked. He was not fully confident. Every now and then, he would check the raft. This scene made everyone in the live-stream laugh. The raft floated on the river for two hours. Under Bell¡¯s careful supervision, nothing happened. It was stable. Bell would look into the distance from time to time. The river was flowing stably, which made him feel relieved. The three of them sat on the raft and floated down the river. ¡°Bell, if nothing goes wrong, we will definitely be in the top two in this Wilderness Survival.¡± Ped suddenly said. Bell was stunned. The top two? This was a little different from his estimate. Ped continued. ¡°Originally, we were delayed by Jack, but things did not go smoothly for Bear and Ed either. Bear was fine. Although his team had been attacked by a few brown bears, it was a close shave. Moreover, the team is more united, so they are moving steadily. Their speed is about the same as ours. It will depend on who can maintain the current situation. Things are not so smooth on Ed¡¯s side. When they crossed an ice river, Ed¡¯s team had an accident that resulted in a few members being injured. Although it¡¯s not life-threatening, it has affected their speed. ¡± Hearing Ped¡¯s words, Bell understood. Wilderness Survival was like this. Accidents could happen at any time. Therefore, even the best survivalist could not guarantee their safety. It could only be said that their chances of survival were higher than others. In such a team competition, it was inevitable that there would be a few burdens in the team. Suddenly, Bell seemed to remember something and asked Ped. ¡°How are Jack and the others?¡± That guy had always been looking to go against him. Chapter 205 - Talent Fragment A strange expression appeared on Ped¡¯s face. Bell immediately understood. Something must have happened to Jack. This interested Bell even more. What had happened to make Ped hesitate to speak? Ped shook his head. ¡°Jack will probably face a lawsuit.¡± Bell was stunned. Why was there a lawsuit? Even if he failed to pass, it should not come to a lawsuit. Ped continued. ¡°Didn¡¯t Jack leave the team and lead a few people to survive alone? In order to speed up, he did not care about the condition of the other members. He was focused on completing the mission.¡± ¡°Under their full speed, they were quite fast. But most of the resources in the team were focused on him alone. The others were not in such good condition.¡± ¡°When they crossed the lake, one of Jack¡¯s team members fell into the water. Jack was also implicated. In order to survive, Jack dragged another member and swam up. The other member was frostbitten. Fortunately, his life is not in danger, but he will probably be crippled. ¡± Bell finally understood what was going on. No wonder Ped said that this guy was going to be sued. The greatest taboo in Wilderness Survival was to be impatient. Jack had indeed committed a taboo this time. This time, Jack was really going to encounter some trouble. At the very least, it was impossible for him to appear on video platforms for the time being. However, this had nothing to do with him. He had given this guy a chance before, but this guy only wanted to step on him to climb up. Bell could not sympathize with such a person. After understanding the situation of the other teams, Bell stopped thinking. Although his team had encountered some accidents, fortunately, they did not slow down. Sitting on the boat, Bell looked bored. There was nothing he could do on the raft. After some thought, he decided to take out Reserve Food. The little guy had been in his backpack and was already bored to death. Seeing the backpack open, it immediately crawled out and looked around curiously. Seeing that it was moving on the water, its eyes widened in shock and it quickly retreated behind Bell. After checking that there was no danger, it began to walk around. It looked very interested. Bell was not worried that the little guy would fall into the water. The Arctic Fox could swim, but it could not stay underwater. In summer, some Arctic foxes would even go into the water to catch fish. It could be seen that they were not weak in the water. With Reserve Food beside them, the atmosphere became much more lively. Bell simply set the camera to track Reserve Food. For a moment, no one was paying attention to whether Bell¡¯s raft would sink again. As for Bell, he was lying on the bear skin and just passing time. Looking at his popularity points in the system interface, Bell realized that he could make another draw. This was good news. It had been five days since the broadcast of Wilderness Survival, and he had gained another 100,000 popularity points. He activated the lucky draw. The familiar system wheel slowly appeared in Bell¡¯s consciousness again. He pressed the confirmation button and the wheel began to move quickly. After a while, it slowly stopped spinning and finally pointed to a purple area. ¡°Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining a special item, a talent fragment.¡± Bell was stunned. He had obtained skills before, but he had not obtained anything like fragments. He had thought that the system would only take out some useless things or a complete skill. He did not expect it to pull out such a trick. Bell was speechless. Could it be that he had to gather all the gold coins to exchange for rewards one day? Although he was complaining in his heart, Bell was still interested in this thing. He opened the system¡¯s inventory to see what he had obtained this time. Logically speaking, the system reminded him that he had obtained a special reward this time, so it should not be too bad. He opened his inventory and saw a purple fragment lying quietly in it. The fragment was like a gem, emitting a dazzling light. From the looks of it, this thing was extraordinary. With a thought, the information of the item appeared. [Talent Attribute Fragment.] [Collecting five talent attribute fragments can randomly awaken a talent skill. Current number: 1.] [Hint: This item cannot be bought through the system shop.] Looking at the item¡¯s introduction, Bell understood. At the same time, he felt a trace of doubt. Logically speaking, the two skills he had drawn earlier were not low-level and were also rated as special skills. Now, he had to gather five of them. Their grades might not be higher than the two skills he had obtained before. In that case, why was this thing evaluated as a special reward? Bell asked the system. ¡°System, is there any difference between the skill exchanged for this talent fragment and the skill obtained from the lucky draw?¡± ¡°Ding! The host¡¯s talent skill obtained through this method is directly maxed out. There is no need to level up again.¡± ¡°Moreover, this talent skill is unique. The host can only have one such talent.¡± After hearing the system¡¯s explanation, Bell thought to himself. A unique talent was definitely very rare, and the effect should be very strong. Moreover, talent was different from skills. There was no limit to skills, while talent was unique. In other words, he had to be more careful when choosing his talent. However, there was one thing that Bell had to consider. This was a special lucky draw. The probability was only 8%. Not every special lucky draw could draw this purple crystal fragment. The probability of really drawing it might not even be one in a thousand. He would probably be betting for a long time to get these fragments. Chapter 206 - Bell, Unlucky in Water? Seeing that he could not gather these talent fragments for a while, Bell stopped thinking about it. The few of them sat on the raft and continued to float. Reserve Food seemed to be exhausted from playing. It ran into Bell¡¯s arms and rubbed against his body lazily. It was clearly going to sleep again. Looking at the camera in the live-stream, Bell said, ¡°We have been floating on this river for nearly two hours. According to my estimation, we will be able to enter the Chena River in two hours. We have enough food. There is no need to hunt. We just have to hurry with all our might. ¡± ¡°If nothing goes wrong, our survival program will be coming to an end. To be honest, my mood is indescribable every time the program ends. However, we cannot lower our guard. Our previous experiences have told us that the more we are closer to our goal, the more we have to be vigilant. Fate will often make an unexpected move at this time. ¡± ¡°Once, in the Western Pacific, a fishing boat hit an iceberg and sank. The captain led a few of his crew members to land in the Arctic Circle in a lifeboat. Their choice was the same as mine now. They were preparing to move inland to Alaska and passed through the tree line after a series of difficulties. They walked for three days in the mountain range. Just as they were about to succeed, they were attacked by a brown bear and three of the nine people died. When the rescue team found them, they realized that they were less than a kilometer away from walking out of this mountain range. Therefore, before we are sure that we are safe, we cannot let down our guard. An accident might happen at any time. ¡± Sitting on the raft was like taking a long drive. The time seemed very boring. Because of the cold air, the sky had always been gray. Even when the sunlight shone on them, they could not feel warm. Fortunately, there was bear skin below Bell and the other two, which could barely maintain their body temperature. Bell played with Reserve Food in his arms while chatting with the audience in the live-stream. Two hours passed by quickly. On the raft, Bell finally saw the water passage open up, and a vast river appeared before him. Bell¡¯s eyes lit up and he stood up excitedly. ¡°Haha, we¡¯re here! We¡¯re here! I knew that there would be no problem with the raft I made this time. ¡± Compared to reaching the river, Bell was more excited that his raft did not sink. After all, he had made it so many times, and there had always been problems. This could be considered Bell¡¯s last attempt. If even this raft faced issues, he would probably have a psychological trauma. The audience in the live-stream was in disbelief. ¡°That shouldn¡¯t be. Bell¡¯s raft didn¡¯t sink this time.¡± ¡°No, wasn¡¯t it certain it would sink?¡± ¡°Everyone, don¡¯t be anxious. They are not ashore yet.¡± Even though they had already arrived at the Chena River, no one believed that they could pass this round safely. Bell was speechless. ¡°Good lord, what feud do I have with you? Why are you cursing me like this? Just you wait, you guys will be slapped in the face soon. ¡± Bell picked up Reserve Food angrily. This scene made the audience in the live-stream laugh. However, although Bell said it firmly, he was also not confident. Don¡¯t let them get it right. He threw Reserve Food into his backpack and zipped it up. Bell instructed Ped and the man to hold the handle of the frame. If they fell into the water, at least the few of them could use the frame to go ashore. Time passed slowly. In Bell¡¯s nervous mood, the raft finally entered the river. The raft floated into the river. Bell heaved a sigh of relief and began to adjust the direction of the raft. He wanted to use the flow of the water to go ashore. However, after a few tries, Bell realized that not only was the raft not floating in the direction he had imagined, but it was getting closer and closer to the center of the river. Sensing the direction of the raft, Bell quickly looked at the center. A small vortex appeared on the calm water. Bell¡¯s heart sank, and a bad feeling surged in his heart. Before he could react, the raft was less than ten meters away from the vortex. The three people on the boat felt the raft being pulled by an invisible force and began to slowly spin around the vortex. Not to mention Bell, even the other two knew that there was definitely an undercurrent under the river. Only under the impact of this undercurrent would such a vortex appear. In fact, many large rivers had such whirlpools, such as the Yangtze and Yellow River. There would always be undercurrents there. It was almost impossible for ordinary rafts to float past it. However, the chances of a whirlpool in the Chena River was very low. However, even with such a small chance, Bell still encountered it. Bell did not know if he was lucky or unlucky. ¡°F*ck, we encountered an undercurrent.¡± ¡°We have to think of a way to get the raft out of this area. Otherwise, we will be dragged to the bottom of the river.¡± The situation was urgent, and Bell did not dare to delay. Ped and the man also knew the seriousness of this matter and did not dare to delay. The three of them quickly leaned against the side of the raft and kept moving the water to give the raft some momentum. However, how could the power of nature be resisted by humans? Even though the three of them had used all their strength, the raft was still approaching the vortex. In fact, the undercurrent in this center was not very strong. Ordinary fishing boats could easily escape with some horsepower. But the problem was that Bell was in a raft. Its only use was to follow the waves. The raft continued to approach the vortex. Bell looked at the riverbank 200 meters away from them. He immediately made a decision. ¡°Put some bear meat in your backpack and abandon everything else. Swim to the shore!¡± Bell took out his dagger and cut off a portion of the bear meat. Then, he jumped into the water without hesitation. Ped and the man beside him knew that the situation was urgent. After cutting off a portion of the bear meat, they also jumped into the water. Chapter 207 - Old Routine As soon as he entered the water, Bell felt the river water penetrate his skin and chill his bones. The pores on his body suddenly closed. Although his condition was not good, Bell did not dare to delay. At this moment, he used 120% of his strength and even activated his Wilderness Hunter skill to swim desperately towards the river bank. Although he had given up on the resources he had, this was indeed the best decision. The bear meat they had captured weighed more than 60 kilograms. With such heavy food, it was impossible to escape the pull of the vortex. Bell could only throw away any excess burden. Bell decided very fast. While the raft was still outside the vortex, the pull was not particularly strong. Once they reached the middle of the vortex, it would be too late to make the same decision. 200 meters was not a long distance. When people moved, their blood would constantly circulate, so it was not a big problem to swim in water at zero degrees. Many people who liked to swim in the winter had already adapted to this temperature. Sometimes, winter swimming was also good for the body. It could increase the resistance of the human body. But swimming in this kind of river in the winter without proper preparations was a very dangerous thing. Especially when they stopped moving for a few minutes after going ashore, the human blood would quickly flow from the limbs to other parts of the body. In addition, there were no dry clothes to keep them warm, so they would be even colder when they came out. Fortunately, Bell and the other two had accumulated enough experience. There was no need for Bell to say anything. Ped and the man began to move non-stop. Bell took out his tools and quickly started a fire before taking off his clothes. It had to be said that the bowstring that Bell had made to start a fire was indeed useful. With the help of this bowstring, Bell could start a fire many times faster. He could start a fire in a minute. The three of them sat around the fire. Bell was relieved and looked back at the river. The small raft that he had made spun faster and faster on the water. In less than a minute, it was pulled to the center of the undercurrent. Then, as expected, it sank into the river. The corner of Bell¡¯s eye twitched. This did not make sense. The live-stream was filled with teasing comments. ¡°Hahaha, I knew it. He had not reached ashore. Don¡¯t reach a conclusion so soon.¡± ¡°Bell, you should give up. Humans have to believe in fate.¡± ¡°Let¡¯s give up on making rafts in the future. It¡¯s really useless. Its only use might be to increase the difficulty of survival.¡± ¡°Haha, what kind of strange character setting is this? If he is on the raft, it will definitely sink?¡± Looking at the strange comments in the live-stream, Bell was speechless. What else could he say? The raft, which he had spent an hour making, sank. It could only be said that it was too strange. Sitting beside the fire, Bell sighed. ¡°Remember what I just said? Don¡¯t let down your guard no matter what. Nature can give you a fatal blow at any time.¡± He looked at the sun in the sky. According to Bell¡¯s deduction, there were still about two hours before nightfall. He pointed at the clothes of the three of them. Although the temperature was much higher than before, it was still ten degrees below zero. If he dared to wear these wet clothes, he would definitely suffer from a severe cold. They would not be able to keep him warm at all. He made a simple clothes rack, placing the clothes on it. He began to search for a suitable place to build a tent. When he felt cold, he returned to the fire to warm himself. After a few rounds, Bell arrived under a pine tree. There was a palm-sized mark on the pine tree. The mark was so deep that the tree trunk inside the pine bark could be seen. Bell observed carefully and said. ¡°Look here, this should be the mark left by a brown bear when it was sharpening its claws. Do you see this? Just grinding its claws can cause such terrifying damage. What would the effect be if it struck a person with its full strength? You can imagine the outcome. In order to ensure our safety, we have to stay away from the ground if we want to rest tonight.¡± Bell stepped on the fallen leaves and looked around. Suddenly, his eyes lit up. Not far ahead, there were three thick pine trees. The three trees were less than two meters apart, forming a triangle. Bell quickly walked closer and adjusted the camera. ¡°This place looks good. We can use these three pine trees to build a hanging shelter.¡± ¡°Ordinary black bears and brown bears are only about three meters tall. As long as we can exceed this height and build the shelter at a height of four meters, we can ensure our safety.¡± With that, Bell hit the three pine trees to check its stability. The three trees did not move. ¡°Not bad, they are very strong. With these three pine trees, we can easily build a shelter. But before that, we need to build a ladder. Fortunately, there is no lack of wood in the forest. ¡± It took some time for Bell and the other two to gather the wood. Because of the repeated usage, the three of them did not have enough parachute ropes. After thinking for a long time, Bell felt that he had to leave these strong ropes for when building the shelter, so he chose some vines to make the ladder. They did not need to consider how strong this ladder was. After all, it was just a disposable item. Reserve Food had been released for a long time. It had been staying beside the fire for a long while, but Bell did not return. It seemed to be worried that it would be abandoned and chased after Bell¡¯s scent. Arctic foxes had a very sensitive sense of smell. After all, they were canines. Moreover, being able to find food under the thick snow naturally did not rely on eyesight. Soon, the little fox found Bell. Seeing Bell¡¯s busy figure, the little guy quickly followed. It kept circling around Bell. Instead of being any help, it added more trouble. There were several times when Bell wanted to gather things, this guy was always swaying to the side, making him almost cut his hand. Chapter 208 - Troublemaker Helpless, Bell could only grab the back of the little guy¡¯s neck and place it on the tree branch. He knocked its head and said, ¡°Stay here obediently and don¡¯t move.¡± The little Arctic Fox was very aggrieved. It whimpered but did not dare to move again. Instead, it stayed obediently on the tree branch. Bell ignored the little guy¡¯s cute actions. After settling it down, he continued with his work. The ladder was quickly completed. The three of them leaned the ladder against one of the pine trees. With the three of them working together, the speed was indeed much faster. In less than two hours, their makeshift shelter was completed. He first used a few two-meter-long branches to build a triangular frame, then laid more branches on it. Of course, he had to choose thicker branches. After all, this was a shelter for three people. If it were just for Bell, it would not be so troublesome. In order to ensure the stability of the shelter, the three of them spent some time building it. Otherwise, they could have finished much faster. They lay on it to test its stability. They realized that it was very firm. At least, they did not have to worry about falling down at night. However, the branches felt uncomfortable. Fortunately, Bell had kept the bear skin. Otherwise, they would probably have suffered again tonight. After laying the bear skin, he lay down again and clearly felt much more comfortable. At this moment, Bell finally finished what he was doing and thought of the small Reserve Food he had placed on the tree branch. He looked around and saw that Little Reserve Food was still sitting pitifully on the tree branch. Seeing Bell look over, it quickly whimpered. Seeing it like this, Bell shook his head helplessly and carried it down. This time, the little guy was much more obedient. It only stayed beside Bell and stopped making a fuss. After a busy day, the sky finally darkened. The three of them returned to the riverbank and touched their clothes. They had already dried. Bell moved the fire below the shelter. Cold air fell and hot air rose. With the fire to keep warm, their sleep would be much better. Moreover, the fire could deter the wild beasts to a certain extent. They were not able to bring much food, but it was enough for today. Bell cut a piece of bear meat and held it above the fire to roast. Bell looked at the shelter the three of them had built and nodded in satisfaction. ¡°This shelter is not bad. Although the comfort level can be improved, at least we don¡¯t have to worry about safety. ¡°However, we can¡¯t let our guard down. Black bears can climb trees. We need to make a device to warn us in advance.¡± ¡°In World War II, Alaska was an important strategic base for the United States. There was once a team of American soldiers who were selected by the superiors to carry out a mission here. They were experienced and knew that they could not sleep on the ground, so they built the shelter on a tree like we did. But in the middle of the night, an American soldier woke up and found a black bear climbing up his shelter. ¡± Bell paused and looked at the live-stream. ¡°I believe everyone can guess what happened next.¡± Bell did not continue the story. Instead, he took out the remaining parachute rope. The two ends of the parachute rope were tied to the two pine trees that were about three meters apart, 40 centimeters from the ground. He then placed a piece of wood on the rope, making sure it did not fall easily. ¡°The reason why this device is set to 40 centimeters from the ground is mainly to prevent some hares or small rodents from touching it at night. By doing this, we can make a certain degree of selection. Once a black bear passes by, this device will definitely be triggered. The sound of wood falling can remind us. ¡± Bell even tested the effect himself. Although the sound of the wood falling to the ground was not loud, it was enough for Bell to hear it. While Bell was doing the work, the meat beside the fire had already been roasted golden. The oil was sizzling under the fire, and an alluring fragrance wafted out. But it only looked good in appearance. After trying the bear paw yesterday, Bell did not have much hope in the taste of bear meat. Holding the dagger, Bell carefully cut off a piece of meat and ate it. After chewing for a while, the nervous expression on Bell¡¯s face gradually disappeared and was replaced by a slightly surprised expression. Then, he quickly cut off another piece and stuffed it into his mouth. ¡°This¡­ tastes unexpectedly good! After eating the bear paw yesterday, I no longer had much confidence in the bear meat. However, after trying this meat today, I am surprised. This bear meat is fresh and juicy, and it¡¯s chewy. Most importantly, it doesn¡¯t have a strong fishy smell like other beasts. ¡± Ped and the man were very curious. They quickly cut their share and tasted it. Their eyes lit up. Just as Bell had said, the meat was very good. At the very least, it was very rare to taste this texture and taste without seasoning. Reserve Food watched them eat happily, its eyes filled with anxiety as it kept rubbing against Bell. It was afraid that Bell would accidentally finish the meat. Seeing Little Reserve Food like this, Bell rubbed its head and gave it a piece of roasted meat. It was not that Bell was stingy. Although there was not much food left, it was enough to provide for all of them. However, for some reason, this little guy did not restrain itself when eating. The round belly from yesterday. Bell couldn¡¯t help but wonder if this little guy would die from overeating. When the little guy saw Bell throw the meat to it, it immediately understood what Bell meant. It quickly rubbed the back of Bell¡¯s hand affectionately and picked up the bear meat to eat happily. Normally speaking, foxes should not be fed cooked meat. Because they were wild animals, eating cooked meat was not very suitable for their stomach. In the long term, it might cause some illnesses. Moreover, after the food was cooked, a lot of nutrients would be lost. However, it was not a big problem if it happened only once in a while. Chapter 209 - Time Is Short The large piece of bear meat was quickly eaten by Bell and the others. After taking a sip of hot water, Bell said to the audience in the live-stream. ¡°If nothing goes wrong, we will be able to return to the civilized world the day after tomorrow at the latest. In other words, our program is about to be completed. To be honest, many things have happened in the show. Some unpleasant experiences also happened. First of all, I want to thank everyone for your support. The reason why I came forward to do this show as a mentor was because the program demanded changes and also to prove that what we are recording is real. There will be no deception. I believe everyone has seen it in this episode. When you are doing wilderness survival, every step is very dangerous, and it isn¡¯t surprising to lose your lives. But we still choose to do live recording.¡± ¡°Also, I probably will not make anything like a raft for a long time.¡± As if feeling that the topic was a little heavy, Bell made a joke. Everyone was amused by Bell¡¯s words. ¡°Alright, everyone, our program will end here today. See you tomorrow. Wish us luck.¡± With that, Bell turned off the live broadcast. The three of them sat around the fire and did not speak. After a while, Ped looked at Bell and suddenly said, ¡°Bell, can we finish this tomorrow?¡± Ped seemed to be very concerned about this. Bell glanced at Ped and did not give a direct answer. ¡°If nothing unexpected happens, it is possible.¡± Hearing Bell¡¯s answer, Ped looked worried. Bell noticed the change in Ped¡¯s expression. ¡°Why? Is there a problem with completing the show tomorrow?¡± Hearing Bell¡¯s words, Ped reacted and seemed to feel that his expression was a little too much. He shook his head and said. ¡°No, I just feel that if we don¡¯t finish by tomorrow, our ranking might fall. Jack¡¯s team has already surpassed us. If we complete the show the day after tomorrow, we might be a step slower.¡± Bell was stunned. Didn¡¯t he say that Jack was in trouble? Why was he suddenly faster? ¡°The rescue team from the production team has already rescued the injured members of Jack¡¯s team. After all, they can¡¯t let their lives be in danger. As for Jack injuring his teammates because of his mistake, the decision will have to wait until the recording is over. Whether he would have to pay compensation or face lawsuits was a matter for the future. He is about to finish the show. Without the injured members, Jack is betting everything on this. He made a raft and floated down like us. He is catching up quickly. ¡± Bell couldn¡¯t help but feel depressed. From Ped¡¯s words, it seemed like Jack did not encounter any danger when he rode the raft. What was this luck? Sometimes, one had to believe in fate. ¡°But their mental states are not very good. They are definitely much worse than us. They should slow down tomorrow. It will depend on who can complete the show faster. ¡± Ped explained. Bell was a little annoyed. ¡°Actually, Bell, you don¡¯t have to worry. Everyone has witnessed the whole program. Jack is only able to continue due to luck. Moreover, his team has suffered losses. The previous bet can be ignored.¡± Ped comforted. The thin man nodded in agreement. Fortunately, Jack did not bring him along and pushed him to Bell. Otherwise, he might have been the one receiving treatment now. Along the way, the two of them already understood how dangerous this place was. Bell¡¯s mood did not improve. Although they said that, there were many people watching this. There would always be some different voices. His goal this time was to prove his survival skills to everyone. If he lost to a student, public opinion would rise again. After some thought, Bell decided to speed up tomorrow. Suddenly, Ped asked Bell again, ¡°Bell, what are your plans after this recording?¡± Bell shook his head. Ped showed an awkward expression and looked to be hesitating. ¡°What¡¯s wrong? If there¡¯s anything, just say it. Our cooperation this time is quite pleasant. We can contact each other more in the future.¡± Although Ped¡¯s thoughts might have been a little impure before, after this trip, the few of them had some friendship. Bell knew the principle of having more friends meant more paths. Moreover, he could not be the only one supporting his live-stream platform in the future. Sooner or later, he would have to rope in some potential streamers. Ped was a good choice. Ped looked at Bell and asked, ¡°Bell, I heard that you set up a live-stream platform?¡± Bell nodded. ¡°Then, do you think I can join your company? ¡°Oh, no, I mean not as a shareholder. I¡¯m asking if I can join your platform as a streamer.¡± Hearing Ped say this, Bell understood. Logically speaking, among these contestants, if Ped wanted to join other platforms, he did not have many fans to get a good contract. The treatment he would receive could only be average. Therefore, Ped was prepared to bet it on Bell¡¯s company. If Bell¡¯s company could really soar in the future, as the oldest batch of employees on the live-stream platform, there would definitely be no need to mention the benefits. Moreover, the traffic promotion would definitely follow. It seemed like although Ped looked naive, he was very smart. Bell looked at Ped. He felt that the other party seemed to have a lot of potential. If he nurtured Ped for a while, even if he could not reach his level, it would not be a problem for him to be an A-list outdoor streamer. As long as he did not challenge those highly difficult survival areas. Bell smiled and nodded. Chapter 210 - Coyote His company was in need of manpower. Since Ped wanted to join his company, he had no reason to refuse. As for the thin man, although he wanted to join, he seemed to be worried about something and did not speak in the end. Since the other party had not made a decision, Bell would not say anything. Wilderness survival was a dangerous field. Not everyone could accept it. Ped was relieved to hear Bell¡¯s agreement. This could only be considered an interlude. The few of them continued to enjoy the roasted bear meat in their hands. Soon, they finished eating. With food, the three of them felt much warmer. With nothing to do, Bell began to recall the journey this time. Normally speaking, Bell would plan the route beforehand. The survival time would be within seven days. As for why he had to make this time range, it was mainly because of the wilderness. Most of the food was raw, and there were many parasites. No matter how careful he was, he could not avoid them. After entering the human body, the parasites would not immediately affect the body. But once the time exceeded seven days, it would reach their growth cycle. It might take root in the human body. When the time came, the effect would not be so great if he only relied on medicine or gastric lavage. Instead, it required an infusion to remove the parasites. Of course, this was not absolute. It was also related to the individual¡¯s physique. With Bell¡¯s physique, his stamina had already reached the level of an ordinary adult man. There was no need to mention his immunity. However, to be safe, Bell would still have a full examination for the parasites after every show, and he would try his best to limit the survival time to seven days. While they were talking, their clothes and bearskin had been dried by the fire. Before sleeping, Bell added some firewood to the fire to prevent it from going out too quickly. Then, the three of them climbed up the ladder to the makeshift tent. Lying on the bear skin, a sense of comfort surged from their hearts. Reserve Food also rolled happily on the bear skin. The three humans and a fox quickly fell asleep. Time passed slowly, and the visibility in the forest decreased to the lowest. The only light source was the fire under Bell¡¯s shelter. Bang! After an unknown period of time, Bell suddenly heard the sound of wood falling. Bell, who had fallen asleep, immediately woke up. He was familiar with this sound. It was the alarm device he had made earlier. Hearing the alarm, Bell did not dare to continue sleeping. He quickly sat up and gently woke Ped and the thin man. Bell leaned on the edge of the tent and looked down. The fire below was not extinguished, but it had become much smaller. With the help of the fire, Bell saw dark green lights around him. He rubbed his eyes and saw more clearly. Alaskan coyotes! The goal of these coyotes was the bear meat that Bell and the other two had left beside the fire. The reason why they did not dare to go forward was mainly because they were afraid of the fire. Their beast instincts warned them, so they did not advance. Most of the wolves were afraid of fire. This might be a memory engraved in their bones. Seeing that it was not the black or brown bear, Bell heaved a sigh of relief. ¡°Fortunately, it¡¯s coyotes. However, these guys live in groups. It would be troublesome if we encountered them in the wild. But we are safe now since they do not know how to climb trees.¡± Seeing that Ped and the man seemed to be very nervous, Bell explained to them. While the three of them were talking, the coyotes also noticed them. Surprisingly, these coyotes did not seem to be afraid of humans. On second thought, Bell was relieved. ¡°There are often coyotes attacking villages in Alaska. These coyotes are probably used to humans and are no longer afraid. Although these guys are less than a meter long and are slightly larger than the Australian wild dogs, they are several times more ferocious than the Australian wild dogs. Its jumping ability is also very shocking. It can even jump four meters away. ¡± ¡°Will these guys attack us?¡± Ped asked worriedly. There were dozens of coyotes around. If anything really happened, they would probably die here. Bell took out his dagger. Then, he walked down the ladder. This action stunned Ped and the man. The two of them wanted to stop Bell, but they were afraid of disturbing the coyote pack. In the end, they could only shut their mouths and remain quiet. As for Bell, he held the dagger in his hand and stared at the coyotes. The cold light of the metal made these coyotes feel a trace of threat. Sensing that Bell was not someone to be trifled with, these coyotes subconsciously took a few steps back. Bell ignored the coyotes¡¯ actions. He picked up the remaining bear meat. While putting up his guard, he returned to the shelter and kicked down the ladder. It completely eliminated the possibility of these coyotes coming up. ¡°Don¡¯t worry too much. Coyotes have weak climbing ability. They can¡¯t climb up at this height.¡± Bell placed the food between the few of them to avoid it falling into the coyote¡¯s mouth. Ped and the man were relieved to hear Bell say that these coyotes could not come up, but they were in no mood to continue resting. Good lord, there was a coyote pack around them. Who would be able to sleep? However, when they turned around, they saw that Bell was already lying happily on the bear skin. He continued his beautiful dream. The two of them couldn¡¯t help but frown. It seemed like they would only be able to keep night watch. The two of them could not help but sigh at Bell¡¯s strong mentality. As for Reserve Food, who had just been woken up, it seemed to be a little angry. Standing beside the shelter, it took advantage of the fact that these coyotes could not bite it and howled a few times. After shouting for a while, it realized that these guys were ignoring it. It felt that it was meaningless and returned to Bell¡¯s side resentfully. Time passed slowly. But the coyotes below had no intention of leaving. Chapter 211 - Pack Time passed slowly. This group of coyotes seemed to be unwilling to let go of the food that was right in front of them. However, after staying for more than half an hour, the coyotes seemed to realize that it was impossible to get this food. Time passed slowly. The fire below the three of them slowly weakened, until it was completely extinguished. The darkness that had been hiding outside finally swallowed the shelter of Bell and the other two. In the depths of the forest, pairs of green eyes lit up again as they slowly approached Bell and the other two. Bell¡¯s team was already asleep. No one noticed that so many coyotes had already surrounded them. At this moment, the audience in the live-stream saw the scene clearly. ¡°F*ck, Bell, stop sleeping. If you continue sleeping, you will be eaten by coyotes!¡± ¡°Wake up, they are ganging up!¡± ¡°F*ck, are you sure these coyotes really don¡¯t know how to climb trees?¡± Everyone asked worriedly. Bell had no idea about the current situation. Or rather, even if he knew, he would not care. At his current height, other than black bears, nothing could threaten him. Moreover, even a black bear could only climb up till it reached adulthood. When its weight reached 150 kilograms, it would be difficult for it to climb trees so easily. Under various conditions, Bell¡¯s shelter was relatively safe. The coyotes below kept circling around the three pine trees. They seemed to be gradually exhausted. They tried to climb repeatedly, but after failing again and again, they realized that they could not climb up the trees. Bell¡¯s shelter was four meters high. No matter how outstanding their jumping ability was, they could not reach it. They could only howl unwillingly. Dozens of coyotes howled together. The scene was quite shocking. Bell was naturally woken up by the noise. He opened his eyes in a daze and looked down. He saw pairs of green eyes looking at him. Bell felt his scalp tingle. This could almost cure trypophobia. Bell was confused. Logically speaking, these coyotes should be hunting alone or in loose pairs. Even if they moved together, there would not be so many of them. Bell roughly counted that there were at least thirty coyotes in this pack. ¡°It¡¯s really strange. This is the first time I¡¯ve seen so many coyotes gathered together. This goes against their habits. ¡± Seeing this, Bell was in no mood to continue sleeping. However, Bell was not worried. No matter how many these coyotes were, they could not come up. Bell¡¯s actions woke up Reserve Food. It howled a few times to express its dissatisfaction. But after seeing the pairs of green eyes below, it immediately crawled back into Bell¡¯s arms. It was trembling in fear. Bell couldn¡¯t help but smile bitterly. This little guy was really terrified. Ped and the man also woke up. With dozens of coyotes staring at them, no one could fall asleep. Although Bell¡¯s physique was good, he was not Superman. It was okay to deal with three to five coyotes, but there were more than 30 coyotes. Not to mention a dagger, even a machine gun might not be able to block them. These coyotes could run 65 kilometers per hour. In such a short distance, Bell could not resist so many coyotes. It was impossible to escape. At this moment, Bell only wanted these guys to leave as soon as possible. However, sometimes, fate liked to joke with people. Time passed slowly, but the coyotes below had no intention of leaving. Instead, they sat on the spot and stared intently at Bell and the other two. The coyotes and the three of them faced each other. Looking at the other party¡¯s attitude, Bell couldn¡¯t help but wonder if they had a grudge against him. Logically speaking, a coyote had high intelligence and held grudges. Its hunting style was based on opportunity. If there was a chance, it would kill the prey in one strike, but if there was no chance, it would not hesitate to immediately retreat. But these guys were behaving differently. The coyote pack was actually the same as the gray wolf pack. They had a very strict hierarchy. Usually, a couple or a single alpha would lead the entire group. Bell thought for a moment and tried to find the alpha among the coyotes. The coyote pack had gone against their original habits, so the problem could only be with the alpha. Because there was no fire, Bell could only rely on the scattered starlight to see. It was very difficult to observe anything in such a dark environment. At this moment, Bell wanted night vision skill even more. Bell suddenly thought of the talent fragment he had obtained. Perhaps if he gathered all the talent fragments, he would have a chance to obtain this night vision talent. After another half an hour, Bell finally found the leader of the coyotes. Normally, the alpha coyote was the most ferocious and tall among the coyotes. However, the alpha coyote that Bell found looked a little thin. There was a ferocious scar on its face that seemed to have been left by a battle. It could be seen how ferocious it was. After seeing this coyote, Bell finally understood why these coyotes were so abnormal. In the animal world, there was an action called imprinting. The simple explanation was that animals would imitate and follow their mothers when they were young. For example, swans. The moment they hatched, they would treat the first animal they saw as their mother. Even if this animal was very different from them. Other animals had this habit too. In the future, the young animals would try their best to imitate this creature. Coyotes had high intelligence. When doing this, they would imitate their mother figure even more thoroughly. The memories stored in their minds would stay for a long time. Looking at the alpha coyote below, Bell had a guess. Chapter 212 - : Counterattack There were rumors that coyotes were very vengeful animals. This was related to this imprint. Once something unique happened to the coyotes, they would remember it until they died. If he was not wrong, the scar on this coyote¡¯s face should be caused by a human. Therefore, after seeing him and his group, the alpha immediately sent the news to its pack, resulting in this situation. Bell was helpless. He had clearly become the scapegoat. ¡°Looks like the alpha coyote has been injured by humans. He wants to take revenge on us. I feel wronged. It feels very uncomfortable to take the blame for others. But now is not the time to think about this. Because of this alpha coyote, this pack might stay here for a few days and nights. ¡± The people in the live-stream couldn¡¯t help but pity Bell. ¡°These guys are actually so vengeful.¡± ¡°Can Bell really hold on for a few days and nights? If you can¡¯t hold on, how about calling the rescue team.¡± ¡°Bell, charge forward! You¡¯re not even afraid of the black bear, why are you afraid of these guys?¡± ¡°Previous poster, your intelligence is lacking. There¡¯s only one black bear. There are more than thirty coyotes here.¡± ¡°Coyote: Look at me!¡± ¡°I finally believe that the host is definitely not posing.¡± Looking at the comments in the live-stream, Bell smiled. No matter what, it was a good thing to dispel some of the worries of these fans. ¡°Alright, thank you for your concerns, everyone. Although our current situation is a little bad, it¡¯s not as bad as you think. Unlike brown bears and black bears, the coyotes cannot hold on for a long period without food. Let¡¯s wait for a while. Perhaps they will leave after dawn. Moreover, they can¡¯t climb. We don¡¯t need to waste our energy like this. Let¡¯s rest for a while.¡± Everyone was speechless when they heard Bell. Good lord, he was really bold. Even Ped and the thin man could not help but wonder what could scare Bell. Just this psychological quality was not something ordinary people could compare to. At least, the two of them knew that they would definitely not be able to sleep in this situation. In fact, Bell¡¯s decision was correct. It was still night, and they could not do anything even if they wanted to. Instead of wasting time like this, it was better to rest for a while and replenish their energy. As for Reserve Food, seeing that Bell was already snoring, it crawled into Bell¡¯s arms and continued to sleep. The little guy was indeed very smart. If it were in the past, this little guy would definitely not be able to sleep in such a dangerous environment at night. But ever since it followed Bell, it had food, water, and someone to protect it. It was simply living a carefree life. Ped and the thin man could only look at each other and comfort each other. Time passed slowly. The sun slowly rose. However, because they were in the forest, the surroundings were still a little dim. It looked like the settings of horror movies from the 1980s and 1990s. Bell slowly opened his eyes and stretched, looking down. Realizing that the coyote pack was still there, he couldn¡¯t help but roll his eyes. Good lord, you really can persevere. From the looks of it, these coyotes were planning to continue wasting time with him. Unfortunately, the two sides were two different species, and it was impossible for them to communicate. Otherwise, Bell really wanted to tell these coyotes that he had been wronged. Sitting in the shelter, Bell felt a little hungry. Since he had nothing to do, he took out his dagger and cut off a piece of bear meat. Because it had been frozen for too long, the bear meat was like a rock. Bell felt like he was chewing a piece of ice. ¡°Get some nutrition. I¡¯m afraid this will continue for a long time.¡± Bell handed the bear meat to Ped and the man. The two of them looked conflicted. After overcoming their psychological difficulties, they cut a few pieces of meat and ate them like Bell. However, no matter how they looked at it, their expressions were painful. It made people wonder if they were eating the same thing. ¡°Alright, don¡¯t eat too much. Your body will feel uncomfortable if you eat too many cold meat slices.¡± Ped and the man stopped. They put down the bear meat as if they had received amnesty. Bell looked at the coyotes below. If not for these hateful guys, he would be having a delicious barbecue of the bear meat. Looking at these coyotes, Bell became more and more angry. If he had a gun, he would kill all these guys. Bell was suddenly stunned. ¡®No, although I don¡¯t have a gun, I can make a bow and arrows.¡¯ The more Bell thought about it, the more excited he became. He almost stood up in excitement. In his current situation, he was completely capable of making a bow and arrows. Moreover, he had exchanged for a max-level shooting skill before. It was to the level of being able to hit a bull¡¯s eye from a hundred meters. Coupled with such a superior position, he would be able to kill most of the coyotes with the bow. Although he did not have much materials on hand, the wood stored in the shelter was enough for him. The parachute rope itself had a certain ductility that could be used as a bowstring. There were many wooden branches used to build the shelter. It was not a big deal to take out a few. With this in mind, Bell began to move. Ped and the man were very puzzled when they saw Bell suddenly move. They wondered what Bell was doing. ¡°Bell, what are you doing?¡± Ped looked at Bell and asked. ¡°I just thought of something. We can make a bow and arrows. If we can successfully kill these coyotes, even if we can¡¯t kill all of them, they will retreat.¡± Bell¡¯s actions were not slow either. He separated some wooden sticks and parachute ropes from one end of the shelter. He began to create a bow and arrows he needed. There were three types of bows: longbow, recurve bow, and compound bow. From the looks of it, he could only make a longbow. Longbows did not have higher lethality. However, he had the max-level shooting talent. If he could hit a vital point, it would be enough. With a solution, Bell suddenly felt a trace of anticipation. Chapter 213 - : Shoot What Bell was preparing to make was a longbow. The advantage of the longbow was that its firing speed was good, but its weakness was also very obvious. Its penetration power was poor. 1 Recurve bow had much higher power and shot faster. As for the compound bow, it had the advantages of both bows. In fact, there was already the technology to create compound bows in the Yuan Dynasty. Back then, the Yuan Dynasty¡¯s army could dominate Eurasia because of this weapon. The heavy cavalry of Eurasia was forced to retreat. ¡°It¡¯s not as simple as it looks to make a good bow and arrows. It takes years of skill. But we don¡¯t have that much time now. We have to make a simple one.¡± Of course, this was also because Bell¡¯s craftsmanship was limited. Moreover, the materials were limited as well. Fortunately, these coyotes were only five to six meters away from him. The ones farthest were no more than ten meters away. No matter how crude the bow was, it could cause a lot of damage. Among the wooden sticks, Bell chose a curvy wooden branch to make the bow. He started trimming it with the dagger. While doing this, Bell explained to the audience. ¡°These coyotes don¡¯t look like they will let us off easily. But we can¡¯t keep wasting time with them. Instead of waiting, it is better to take the initiative. What I am doing now is creating a bow and arrows. I am going to use our terrain advantage to shoot that alpha to death. Once the alpha dies, there is a high chance that this pack will disperse. ¡± The bow and arrow that Bell made were not perfect, and he only looked at practicality, so they were rough. After making the bow, Bell made the bowstring. He separated the ropes of the parachute and twisted the fine threads together, tying them to the bow. He tried to pull it. He realized that the bowstring was still very taut. It should be able to shoot ten meters, but he would have to test it later. Putting down the bow, Bell began to make arrows. Ten minutes later, more than ten arrows about a meter long were placed neatly beside Bell. Bell picked up a tree ten meters away. He drew the bowstring and placed his hand under his chin. Bang! The arrow shot out. Immediately after, the wooden arrow nailed firmly to the tree trunk. Initially, Bell was a little worried about the lethality of these wooden arrows. But now, it seemed like his worries were unnecessary. With the strength of this arrow, as long as it did not hit the hard parts like the skulls of these coyotes, other parts could definitely be pierced through. The eyes of the people in the live-stream lit up when they saw this scene. ¡°F*ck, this is a simple production?¡± ¡°Brothers below, run quickly. Otherwise, you will only add to Bell¡¯s food stock.¡± ¡°I have a feeling that it will be a massacre later.¡± ¡°As expected of Bell, he can counterattack at any time.¡± ¡°Did any of you notice Bell¡¯s strength? To be able to shoot at such a speed, Bell¡¯s strength is not inferior to ordinary adults. ¡± ¡°Previous poster, I¡¯m not surprised at all. I mean look at who he is.¡± After testing the strength of the arrow, Bell was quite satisfied. However, he was not in a hurry to attack. ¡°Now is not the best time to attack. I have said before that these coyotes are different from black bears and brown bears. They cannot stay hungry for long. We still have enough food and water. In order to ensure the accuracy, we will have to wait for a while.¡± Hearing Bell say this, Ped and the man sat quietly in the shelter and were no longer anxious. Bell locked his gaze on the alpha. When he observed this alpha before, he did not see much. But now that there was enough sunlight, he finally saw the appearance of this alpha coyote. This alpha coyote was missing half an ear, and the corner of its mouth seemed to have been torn by a sharp weapon. This injury had already severely affected its eating. It was no wonder it was so thin. The few of them faced the coyote pack for another two hours. The long period of hunger finally made the coyotes below unable to endure it. The coyotes were getting restless. More than ten coyotes howled before standing up as if preparing to go hunt. The other coyotes did not move and continued to watch Bell. Seeing this, Bell couldn¡¯t help but sigh at the coyote pack¡¯s discipline. They were actually able to somewhat restrain a primal instinct like hunger. From the looks of it, the coyote pack was preparing to wait for their companions to eat and drink their fill before changing the watch shift. They would continue this cycle and exhaust Bell¡¯s team to death. It had to be said that this plan was quite shrewd. In the long history, there were too many animals that were more ferocious than coyotes. For example, saber-toothed tigers, Titanis, and short-faced bears were all creatures that stood at the top of the food chain. But after the baptism of nature, these overlords were finally eliminated. What was left was the weaker wolves. There was only one reason why they could survive, and that was this strict hierarchy. Humans and coyotes could be said to have some similarities. Their hierarchy was mostly related to intelligence. After about ten minutes, Bell¡¯s eyes suddenly became sharp. He knew it was time to act. There were less than twenty coyotes below them. If he could kill the alpha coyote, the remaining coyotes would probably choose to escape. It did not matter if they did not escape. He had more than ten wooden arrows that could easily kill most of the remaining coyotes. The three of them could kill the remaining few easily. Bell slowly raised his bow. After nocking the arrow, he aimed at the alpha¡¯s eyes. After all, this was a wooden arrow. Due to the material, he had to find the most fragile place to strike. Moreover, with this alpha¡¯s intelligence, this would probably be his only chance. If he only injured it, he would probably be in even more trouble. Who knew if this alpha coyote would start tracking him later. Chapter 214 - Hunting Time After making the decision, Bell did not plan to delay. The arrow was nocked on the bowstring. Bell aimed the arrow at the coyote pack. There was a saying among the people. Head of an iron and body of tofu, it referred to wolves. Of course, it was not just about wolves. Most canines were like this. Their skulls were often the most firm, and their abdomen was their weakness because of the lack of bone protection. The sixth sense of wild beasts was very accurate. They could even predict danger to a certain extent. The moment Bell aimed the arrow at the alpha coyote, it sensed it. It immediately stood up and prepared to retreat. Bell smiled coldly when he saw this. ¡°You want to leave now? It¡¯s too late.¡± Bell let go of the wooden arrow. The wooden arrow cut through the air and quickly shot at the alpha. Pfft! A faint sound sounded. The arrow pierced into the flesh. Unfortunately, this arrow did not hit the alpha wolf¡¯s eye. Instead, it deviated slightly. Although Bell had max-level shooting skills, the quality of the bow was too poor to be accurate. However, the effect was not bad. Although the arrow did not kill the alpha, it was not blocked by the bones. It shot into its mouth and pierced through its throat. The powerful force knocked it to the ground. The intense pain made it want to wail, but the wooden arrow was stuck in its throat, preventing it from making any sound. This scene shocked the remaining coyotes. Seeing their leader constantly vomit blood and its twitching limbs, the coyotes retreated. ¡°The audience below the age of 18, please leave.¡± Bell reminded and started shooting crazily. The wooden arrows in his hand were like Yama¡¯s invitations. As long as it hit, even if the coyote did not die, it would be severely injured. The bloody scene was terrifying. Ped and the man were also shocked at this sight. They had only thought that Bell¡¯s survival skills were amazing, but now, it seemed like they had underestimated him. The energy contained in this eight-year-old¡¯s body was so terrifying. Ped even suspected that if Jack had really fought Bell, it would not be certain who the victor would be. The next scene could be considered a massacre. The moment Bell held the bow and arrows, the identity of hunter and prey was instantly switched. In this forest, survival was the only law. Perhaps some people would pity these coyotes and think that Bell¡¯s method was too cruel. But if Bell did not do this, he would become a piece of meat in the mouths of these coyotes. Since they were in the wilderness, they had to follow the laws of nature. In other words, stepping on this path meant that the contestants had returned to nature. They naturally had to follow the rules of the wild. Killing each other was normal. However, most survivalists and explorers would give their prey a quick death and not torture them. This had nothing to do with the law. It was just out of personal morality. Fortunately, the audience in Bell¡¯s live-stream seemed to understand his situation and did not say anything. A few hypocrites did appear, but they were suppressed by the comments. ¡°As expected, Bell is eating more tonight. I wonder how the coyote meat tastes.¡± ¡°How bloody and violent.¡± ¡°Bell¡¯s archery skills are good.¡± ¡°I strongly suggest Bell try the individual archery Olympics.¡± ¡°As expected, it¡¯s my problem that I can¡¯t shoot accurately.¡± The live-stream was filled with comments. Bell looked at the coyote pack below. After a round of shooting from Bell, the coyotes did not scatter like he had imagined. Instead, they looked at the three people above even more fiercely. This made Bell frown. These guys were even more difficult to deal with than he had thought. It seemed like he had to be more ruthless. Bell did not hesitate. He drew his bow and aimed at the strongest looking one among the coyote pack. These coyotes were not stupid. On the contrary, they were very smart. After experiencing Bell¡¯s rain of arrows, they knew that curvy thing in Bell¡¯s hand was very dangerous. Seeing Bell raise it again, they immediately began to escape. But Bell¡¯s shooting range was ten meters. Moreover, after that round of shooting, Bell had already gained good experience. His shooting accuracy had also increased greatly. Whoosh! Several more shots were fired. The wooden arrow hit the strongest coyote. However, it did not kill it in one strike like Bell had expected. Instead, it shot at the coyote¡¯s hind leg. After piercing through the flesh, it was probably blocked by the leg bone and did not penetrate through. But even so, this coyote lost its combat strength. The strong coyote began to howl. Bell ignored it and aimed the arrow at the other coyotes. Since this pack had no intention of retreating, he had to exhaust their combat strength as much as possible. Because he might have to face a battle. In the end, Bell shot all fifteen arrows and killed five. Eight were severely injured. There were only five coyotes with no wounds and intact combat strength. At this moment, the threat these coyotes posed to him had decreased to the extreme. Bell believed that with his peak stamina and skills, he could resolve the battle in an extremely short time. ¡°What do you guys think? Can you deal with one each?¡± Bell turned to Ped and the thin man. Looking at the ferocious coyotes below, the two of them gulped. Ped took out his dagger and nodded seriously. Bell dared to kill a black bear alone at such a young age. If he shook his head, wouldn¡¯t he be a joke? Although the thin man was afraid, he still took out his weapon and prepared to deal with one coyote. ¡°Don¡¯t be nervous. Since you are not facing a pack, you will not die immediately even if you were bitten.¡± With that, Bell held the dagger in his hand and jumped down. The loose leaves on the ground dispersed the impact. Bell rolled forward and flashed to the side of a coyote. Before the coyote could react, the dagger turned into a black light and instantly cut its throat. His actions were clean and pleasing to the eye. ¡°Hehe, one down, four to go.¡± Chapter 215 - Fighting the Coyotes Alone Bell was extremely fast, and this dagger was extremely sharp. When he stood up, blood flowed out of the coyote¡¯s throat. Looking at their fallen companions again, the remaining four coyotes retreated. This little guy seemed to be a tough nut. Looking at the four retreating coyotes, Bell ignored them and walked to the alpha coyote that was still struggling at death¡¯s door. Although it did not die immediately, the wooden arrow in its mouth made it not dare to move. Seeing Bell walk towards it, the alpha was clearly very afraid. Bell looked at the alpha coldly and kicked the wooden arrow. The wooden arrow pierced through the alpha coyote. The fear in its eyes quickly dimmed as it died. Bell did not enjoy this killing. There was no so-called pleasure. He had to kill it as soon as possible to stop the torture, as well as intimidate the other coyotes. After dealing with the alpha wolf, Bell turned to the direction of the retreating four coyotes. Ped and the thin man, who had just walked down, could not help but be afraid when they saw Bell¡¯s expression. Good lord, they really could not tell who the prey was. Facing the terrifying Bell, even a ferocious beast like the coyote had to retreat. The killing intent on Bell¡¯s body became stronger. The audience in the live-stream was a little confused when they saw this scene. Why did they feel like Bell was the wolf? These coyotes were like lambs waiting to be slaughtered. From the outside, Bell seemed to be very relaxed, but only Bell knew the truth. He had to finish this quickly. If he waited for the ten or so coyotes to return, he would be in a dangerous situation. These coyotes had very good leaping ability. Moreover, they knew how to cooperate. With such mobility, even the simplest tactics were impossible to guard against. Therefore, Bell was very tight on time. After seeing his target, Bell immediately activated the Wilderness Hunter skill. He rushed towards these coyotes. Bell turned into a black shadow on the snow. The man and the coyotes were only twenty meters away. In three seconds, Bell had already reached in front of a coyote. Although wolves were not at the top of the food chain, they had no natural enemies. Whether it was lions, tigers, or powerful bears, they usually did not attack wolves because the latter mostly fought in groups. Moreover, their running speed was not weak. The energy replenishment obtained from capturing a wolf was not proportional to the energy expenditure. Instead of wasting so much energy, they preferred to capture other prey. This had resulted in the ferocity of these wolves. Faced with the pressure from Bell, these coyotes had no way out. In this situation, they chose to charge at Bell. The timid coyotes suddenly opened their mouths full of fangs and charged at Bell¡¯s neck. Bell was not afraid. Instead, he smiled. It would only be challenging like this. If these coyotes were really frightened by his aura and were slaughtered like sheep, it would be boring. Bell did not enjoy killing, but this thrill of playing with life and death could stimulate the blood in a person¡¯s bones. At this moment, Bell felt his blood boil. The adrenaline from the Wilderness Hunter skill soared, making him feel excited. This feeling could only be experienced in the wilderness. The coyote was getting closer and closer to Bell. Bell almost smelled the stench in his mouth. When the coyote was less than twenty centimeters away from his neck, Bell suddenly attacked. He grabbed the coyote¡¯s neck tightly like lightning. Immediately after, power erupted, and the incomparably ferocious coyote could no longer advance. He grabbed the coyote¡¯s neck with one hand and stabbed the dagger into its heart with the other. The moment the dagger was pulled out, the coyote in Bell¡¯s hand fell and stopped moving. At the same time, the remaining three coyotes came to Bell¡¯s left, right, and back, preparing to attack him together. The coyote behind him had already opened its mouth and was preparing to tear his calf. This was also the usual hunting method of the coyote pack. They would first destroy the other party¡¯s mobility. The coyote was small, and its bite was not strong. Therefore, they could not bite the throat of their prey like lions and tigers. Most of the time, they would choose to attack the calves of their prey, preventing them from moving. Then, the coyotes would swarm forward. Bell¡¯s thoughts raced. He silently calculated the time these coyotes would arrive. Within an instant, he had already made a plan. Without even turning around, Bell side-kicked the coyote that was about to bite his calf. He accurately hit the coyote behind him. The coyote whimpered in pain. Bell¡¯s strength was as high as 11 points. It was slightly higher than an ordinary adult male, and with the enhancement of the Wilderness Hunter skill, his strength was definitely comparable to some kickboxers. The coyote, which was only about 20 kilograms, was kicked five to six meters away. Finally, it fell to the ground and slowly stopped breathing. When he kicked the coyote, Bell could clearly hear a crisp sound. He estimated that he had broken the coyote¡¯s ribs. With the huge recoil, the broken ribs most likely pierced into its internal organs. This was why this coyote died so quickly. But Bell was in no mood to think about this because at the same time as the coyote landed, the coyotes on both sides pounced at Bell. Bell¡¯s eyes turned cold. He first aimed at the coyote on the left. Just like before, he seized the opportunity to grab its neck. Then, without hesitation, he turned to the coyote on the right and activated the intimidation skill. Instantly, a trace of confusion appeared in the coyote¡¯s eyes. Although it was only for a second, Bell¡¯s dagger had already stabbed into the heart of the coyote in his hand. Chapter 216 - Kiviak With this stab, only the coyote on the right was left. It had already woken up from its chaotic state. Just as it was about to continue attacking Bell, it noticed that it was the only one left. Without the safety of numbers, the wolf¡¯s cunning personality was immediately displayed. It immediately made the best decision and turned to run without hesitation. Bell was stunned for a moment before smiling. This beast was quite decisive. However, he could not let it escape. Otherwise, if this guy attracted the previous coyotes that had left, he would be the one to die. He aimed at the coyote and threw the dagger at its back. Pcchh! The dagger stabbed into the coyote¡¯s body accurately. The coyote that had been running quickly immediately fell into a pool of blood. After struggling for a while, it could not stand up and fell forever. The final victor was Bell. Ped and the thin man who had followed were stunned. This was different from what they had agreed on. Didn¡¯t they say that they would deal with one each? In the end, it seemed like these four coyotes were not a threat to Bell at all. Although it sounded long, the battle only lasted for ten seconds. Not only Ped and the thin man, but the audience in the live-stream were also dumbfounded. Wasn¡¯t this a little too fierce? Everyone thought that this would be an intense battle. But who would have thought that it would be a one-sided massacre? They did not even react when the fight ended. But soon, someone came to his senses and immediately typed crazily on the screen. Instantly, comments started blocking the screen of the live-stream. ¡°F*ck, what am I seeing? Bell is too awesome!¡± ¡°The cat is out of the bag, you said you don¡¯t know martial arts!¡± ¡°Bell, can you teach me? I don¡¯t want to learn anything else. I just want to learn that dagger throwing skill.¡± ¡°How is this wilderness survival? This is the adventure of a martial arts expert.¡± ¡°Bell is invincible!¡± ¡°What¡¯s going on? I just went to drink a glass of water. Why is it over?¡± ¡°Who else is left?¡± The comments in the live-stream exploded. Bell only smiled and shook his head. These guys really thought that they were watching a movie. Although what he had done earlier looked simple, it was actually a true life and death battle. If he was bitten, his rhythm would be disrupted. The end result could very well be his small body being torn to pieces by the four coyotes. But it was useless to say anything else, because he had succeeded. He walked forward and took the dagger from the coyote. Bell found a few coyotes on the ground that had been injured by his arrows, but were still alive. Seeing Bell walk towards them step by step, these coyotes could only tremble in fear. Bell did not stand on ceremony. He quickly finished them off and heaved a sigh of relief. At this moment, the surroundings of the shelter were already filled with the corpses of coyotes. The smell of blood was so strong that one could easily smell it. Bell adjusted the ladder and climbed up again. He had exhausted a lot of energy. He wanted to rest. Little Reserve Food, who had been staying above the shelter, was also paying attention to the battle below. Seeing Bell jump up to the shelter, the little guy reacted and quickly ran up. It lay in Bell¡¯s arms and kept rubbing against him, as if it was afraid that it would end up like the coyotes. Seeing the little guy like this, Bell rolled his eyes and flicked its head before putting it in his backpack. Similarly, Bell did not forget the little food he had left. He turned to look at Ped and the thin man. ¡°Let¡¯s go, what are you waiting for?¡± Hearing Bell¡¯s voice, the two of them reacted from the shock. ¡°F*ck, Bell, you, you just¡­¡± Ped looked at the corpses on the ground and then at Bell. He was speechless. The thin man¡¯s eyes widened as well. ¡°I just made the right decision. Let¡¯s go quickly. The smell of blood here is too strong. For brown bears and black bears with a terrifying sense of smell, this is too tempting. I don¡¯t want to end up on their menu.¡± ¡°Moreover, those coyotes who left earlier will definitely return after searching for food.¡± After bringing all his supplies, Bell rolled up the black bear skin and tied it with the parachute rope. He tied it to his backpack. These were his spoils of war, and Bell planned to keep them. Stepping over the corpses of the coyotes, the three of them quickly disappeared and continued to move inland. Not long after the three of them left, a three-meter-long brown bear walked over from the depths of the forest. Looking at the corpses of the coyotes, the brown bear¡¯s eyes lit up. It was almost winter in Alaska, and the brown bear needed to store a lot of fat for hibernation. It did not expect happiness to come so suddenly. At this moment, the brown bear would not let go of any food, let alone these readily available coyote corpses. The brown bear quickly moved forward and sat down beside the corpse of a coyote. It began to chew. As for the ten or so coyotes standing in the distance, the brown bear ignored them. If those guys dared to come up, they would just end up in its meal. At the same time, Bell had already arrived at the plain in a valley. A group of reindeer appeared in their sight. They were eating the weeds on the ground with their heads lowered. Moreover, they looked a little anxious. Bell understood why. They had to stock up on fat in their bodies as soon as possible. Once winter arrived, food would be scarce. Bell calculated the distance. In the end, he looked at the live-stream and said, ¡°If we¡¯re lucky enough today, we should be able to meet some people. And there is a high chance that they will be the Inuit we mentioned before. They usually choose to live in this place where the Arctic Circle connects inland. At the same time, the Inuit are very hospitable. By the way, I have to remind everyone that if you encounter Inuit people treating you to a meal in the future, you have to pay attention to one dish, which is their traditional food, kiviak.¡± Chapter 217 - First? Bell was being very mysterious. The people in the live-stream were also curious. They wanted to know what kiviak was. Seeing the questions floating on the screen, Bell smiled and said. ¡°Kiviak is a very nutritious food, rich in many minerals and vitamins. Regarding its flavor, if you love stinky tofu, you might like this delicacy. Of course, the premise is that you are unaware of how this delicacy is made. Please trust me and don¡¯t investigate. ¡± Seeing that Bell still did not get to the point, everyone was even more curious. They were very uncomfortable with Bell¡¯s words. After hearing Bell say not to investigate, many people finally could not hold back their curiosity and went online to search. Of course, some people chose to send gifts to Bell to ask him to explain it personally. Bell obtained unexpected profits. Seeing this, Bell teased. ¡°Aiya, what are you doing? I¡¯m not keeping you on suspense on purpose.¡± But looking at Bell¡¯s smug expression, he was clearly saying that he was playing them. ¡°F*ck, the host is too cunning. Just tell us.¡± ¡°Yeah, tell us. My curiosity is killing me.¡± Seeing that the audience in the live-stream could not restrain themselves anymore, Bell smiled and said. ¡°Alright, since everyone is so curious, I¡¯ll introduce this delicacy to everyone.¡± ¡°The Inuit live in the Arctic Circle all year round, so it¡¯s very difficult to obtain vitamins. In order to ensure health and nutrition balance, the Inuit discovered that eating some raw fermented meat can replenish this plant-like nutrients. As for the Kiviak, it is the result of this. The Inuit will kill a seal first and empty its innards. Then, they will pack the seal skin with dead birds, mainly seagulls and auks, and stitch it up tightly and seal it with seal fat. Then, they bury the stuffed seal in the frozen soil. Because the seal fat has the effect of repelling flies and the cold weather in Alaska, even if it is dead, it will not rot for a while. After burying them for an entire winter, they will dig the seals out of the frozen ground. At that moment, the internal organs of the auks that had been placed in the seal¡¯s body will have completely rotted and turned into sticky liquid. The Inuit will pull off the wings and remove the feathers of the birds, then eat the meat or suck the juices. Of course, some might even use the intestinal fluids as a sauce. How is it? Does it feel exciting? ¡± After hearing Bell¡¯s detailed description, the people in the live-stream could not take it anymore. ¡°F*ck, I can¡¯t take it anymore. Brothers, you guys eat it first.¡± ¡°Hell, I¡¯ve eaten stinky tofu for so many years, but I don¡¯t think I can eat this one.¡± ¡°Host, I was eating. I¡¯m vomiting now. Compensate me.¡± ¡°For some reason, after hearing Bell¡¯s description, I suddenly feel that the food Bell ate in the past was quite fresh.¡± ¡°I just want to know if I encounter the Inuit and they make me eat this thing, will they beat me up if I don¡¯t eat it?¡± Seeing the comments boil over, Bell smiled happily. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, everyone. The Inuit are quite forthright. They won¡¯t mind if you don¡¯t eat it, but don¡¯t show a disgusted expression, because this is basic respect. Otherwise, you will really be beaten up.¡± The three of them were basically out of danger. Bell relaxed a lot. He chatted with the audience in the live-stream. At the same time, Bell did not forget to calculate his progress. If he remembered correctly, there should be Inuit living within 50 kilometers of the Chena River. As long as he could find these Inuit, he would have succeeded in survival. They could use their car to return to Fairbanks. In fact, many people think that the Inuit still lived in the Arctic Circle in their ice houses. The current Inuit life was not like this at all. With the rapid development of modern society, it was difficult for the Inuit to maintain their previous tradition no matter how isolated they were. They had long integrated into civilized society, so they were not much different from ordinary people. Bell and the other two advanced till ten a.m. The three of them crossed another hill. Looking around, they finally saw a few huts on the plain. A few pickup trucks were parked quietly in front of the huts. There were also a few Inuit children playing with Alaskan Malamutes. Bell smiled. Ped and the thin man also looked excited. Bell, we won!¡± The two of them had been paying attention to the movements of the other teams. They thought that after the previous series of events, Bell might be a step slower than others, but in the end, Bell still successfully stood out as the first. Ed and Bear, who were the closest to Bell, still needed half a day to succeed. But Bell had already succeeded. Not to mention the dominance, at the very least, it proved Bell¡¯s abilities. As for Jack, who had left Bell¡¯s team, hehe, it was unfortunate. When Bell was attacked by the coyote pack last night, Jack¡¯s team was attacked by a brown bear. They were still staying on the tree branch waiting for rescue. They did not build a shelter on the tree like Bell, so they had to run to the tree in danger. Moreover, another member was injured due to this. In everyone¡¯s hearts, Jack was already an eliminated contestant. Compared to Bell killing more than ten coyotes alone, Jack was simply incomparable. At this moment, everyone looked at Jack like they were looking at a clown. Bell¡¯s appearance also attracted the attention of the Inuit children. The children quickly ran into the houses and called the adults out. Bell smiled at the camera in the live-stream. ¡°Everyone, it seems like the recording for this episode is over. Those children should be the children of the Inuit. In fact, the Inuit have a very good impression of Asians, because in their minds, Asians are a family. ¡± Chapter 218 - End of the Recording, the Inuit’s Hospitality Hearing the children¡¯s shout, an adult man quickly walked out. The man was not tall, but he was very muscular. After seeing Bell¡¯s group, the man immediately smiled happily and waved at them. ¡°Hi, friend!¡± Seeing that the other party was so enthusiastic, the three of them quickly walked to the Inuit. He had not seen it from afar, but now that they were closer, the man realized that Bell was so young. ¡°Oh? Little guy, why are you here? This place is very dangerous. ¡± The man thought that Bell had gone missing or something. Bell smiled. Just as he was about to explain, he saw the bear skin on Bell¡¯s back. ¡°Oh my god, you guys killed a black bear?¡± The man was shocked. Seeing the other party like this, Bell smiled and patted the dagger at his waist. ¡°Yeah, it¡¯s all thanks to it.¡± Bell¡¯s actions surprised the man even more. He thought that the few of them had killed the black bear with guns and did not expect them to use daggers. This was unbelievable. The man looked at Bell and asked tentatively. ¡°Did you hunt this black bear together?¡± Ped and the man looked at each other and quickly waved their hands. ¡°No, no, no. Bell completed the hunt alone.¡± Ped and the man were adults after all. If the two of them ambushed a black bear, it was not impossible to hunt it. The man thought that Ped and the thin man were Bell¡¯s elders teaching him how to hunt. Seeing that the other party seemed to have misunderstood, the other two quickly explained. After knowing that Bell and the two were wilderness survivalists and that Bell had completed the hunt alone and was their mentor, the man¡¯s worldview seemed to be affected. ¡°China is really a magical place.¡± In the end, the man sighed. At the same time, he no longer treated Bell as a child. The Inuit admired warriors, especially youths like Bell. The man immediately gave a thumbs up. ¡°It is my honor to have you here, young warrior. We will host you well tonight.¡± The other party seemed extremely enthusiastic. Bell scratched his head in embarrassment. As for Ped and the thin man, they were looking forward to it. They had not eaten anything decent for so many days. They could finally have a full meal today. But the next second, the two of them suddenly remembered Bell¡¯s words and couldn¡¯t help but shiver. Would the Inuit make them eat those dead sea birds? The two of them were in a dilemma. Bell seemed to see through their difficulties. He smiled and said to the man. ¡°Uncle, thank you, but we have something urgent to do. I wonder if you can send us to Fairbanks? We will pay for it.¡± Reaching the periphery of the Arctic Circle was not a success. They had to return to the reporting point. With a car, the rest was much simpler. But this uncle was too enthusiastic. Although Bell wanted to refuse to stay here, the other party still forced them to stay the night. They even threatened to serve them with their traditional food. Hearing the words traditional food, the three of them turned green. Although they had eaten insects and raw meat, it was a last resort. No one was willing to look for this thing for no reason. Moreover, this Kiviak was much more lethal than live insects. ¡°Little friend, please stay here today. I will personally drive you to Fairbanks tomorrow.¡± The man patted his chest. Seeing the other party like this, Bell and the other two looked at each other and knew that they could not continue to refuse. Although they were a little nervous, they still stayed. After chatting for a while, Bell learned that the man¡¯s name was Croutte. He lived with his wife and two children. Croutte was very curious about Bell. He kept asking Bell, wanting to know how he survived. Bell also knew about the situation of the Inuit through chatting. They had been integrated into civilized society for a long time. According to Croutte, he had not seen an igloo since he was born. The main source of income for the family was to sell some traditional handicrafts or various fur products. More and more people came to Fairbanks to travel in recent years. Most people who came to travel would choose to bring some handicrafts back as a souvenir. This also made their income much higher. According to Croutte¡¯s description, their annual income could reach 120,000 USD. This was definitely not a low income. Many of the audience in the live-stream were envious. Even Bell did not expect Croutte to have such a high income. The main reason was that these huts were too thrifty. Bell had thought that they would be very poor. In the United States, a family with an annual income of more than 100,000 USD was definitely in the upper middle class. While chatting, Bell asked Croutte why he chose to live here with such a high income? Croutte said that although they had left the original living environment of the Inuit, they were still not used to life in the big city. Therefore, most of the time, they followed the ancient tradition. For example, they would also take a small kayak to hunt seals every winter. Time passed quickly, and the sky gradually darkened. Croutte¡¯s wife also brought the food to the dining table. The three of them walked into the house again and looked at the decorations, making them a little dazed. From the outside, this small hut looked ordinary, but when they entered it, it was not as dilapidated as they had imagined, but it was not particularly luxurious either. But at night, when the lights lit up, Bell suddenly realized that this small room had a rich 1970s style that made him feel a little dazed. Other than placing some home appliances that were different from the previous era, it could completely make people dream of the 1970s. At the same time, Bell noticed the food on the table. Looking at the food on the table, the three of them heaved a sigh of relief. He did not serve a plate of kiviak like he had imagined. There was more reindeer meat, snow rabbit meat, seal meat, and bear meat. Most of the edible food was brought to the dining table. It looked very appetizing. Chapter 219 - Food At this moment, Bell¡¯s live-stream was not closed. ¡°Thank you for your hospitality, Uncle Croutte. To be honest, this is the first time I¡¯m eating authentic Inuit food. I am quite lucky today.¡± After knowing that Bell was a wilderness survival host, the couple did not feel strange. Instead, they were very curious. Moreover, they even greeted the audience warmly. Their children watched shyly. But soon, their interest was also piqued and they interacted with the audience in the live-stream. The few of them started eating. Bell put a piece of reindeer meat in his mouth. After chewing it, Bell¡¯s eyes lit up. This thing tasted better than he had imagined. It was a little like beef, but it was more fragrant. He couldn¡¯t help but take another piece. Seeing that Bell was enjoying the food, the Croutte family was very happy. The Inuit were forthright. Sometimes, they would visit each other and enter without even knocking. Everyone would share the food together, and there were few rules at the dining table. After tasting the venison, Bell picked up a piece of blubber under Croutte¡¯s expectant gaze. The blubber was light pink, and the end was black. He brought the blubber to the camera and let the audience take a look. ¡°Do you see this? This is seal fat. The pink part is the fat, and the black part is the skin.¡± Bell placed it in his mouth and tasted it slowly. ¡°This is my first time eating this. It tastes very soft. If you want to compare it to something, it tastes a little like cod liver oil . However, there should be other things added to it. It has a faint nutty smell to it. Overall, the taste is not bad. ¡± The Inuit lives in a very cold environment, so most of them eat food with high fat and protein. This is much more beneficial to ward off the cold. After tasting the delicacies on the table again, Bell thanked Croutte and his family. ¡°Thank you, Uncle Croutte. You have been really hospitable.¡± The man responded very straightforwardly. ¡°Haha, as long as you like it.¡± The few of them ate happily. After chatting for a while, they arranged rooms for Bell and the other two and returned to their rooms to rest. Lying on the soft bed, Bell felt very comfortable. ¡°I¡¯m really very lucky today to be able to receive Uncle Croutte¡¯s warm hospitality and taste authentic Inuit food.¡± ¡°We¡¯re riding Uncle Croutte¡¯s truck tomorrow to return to Fairbanks. Then, this Wilderness Survival episode will be over. Time passed quickly. Unknowingly, so many seasons have passed in Wilderness Survival. I¡¯m a little tired after broadcasting for so long, so I want to take some time off to rest and bring everyone a better program.¡± Hearing that Bell wanted to apply for leave, the audience in the live-stream was unhappy. After getting used to Bell¡¯s live broadcast, watching other survivalist streamers was like chewing wax. Who could stand it? ¡°No way!¡± ¡°Host, you can¡¯t do this to us. It¡¯s boring to eat without you.¡± ¡°F*ck, the previous poster is also a ruthless person.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t ask for leave, we will send you gifts.¡± ¡°The leader of the fan club, Bell is running away.¡± The comments flooded the screen. Bell smiled and explained. ¡°Alright, everyone, thank you for your support. However, I have been in a tense state recently. I really need a holiday to adjust and relax. However, there is no need to worry. I will not rest for a long time. It will not be longer than half a month. We will meet again soon. ¡± Hearing Bell say this, although the audience in the live-stream was still a little reluctant, they could only nod in agreement. After successfully asking for a break, Bell began to plan how to use this vacation. It was necessary to check his body and rest, but he could not just rest either. He had to finish dealing with the matters of the company during this period. Recruit some video creators and arrange manpower. He wondered how Scarlett, Keira, and Li Ziqi were doing. Perhaps he could take this opportunity to bring everyone out to play. Just as Bell was planning, Reserve Food, which had been hiding in his backpack, suddenly became restless. The little guy had not left his backpack for the entire day. He wondered if this guy has some characteristics of a shut-in. He opened his backpack and saw that Reserve Food had turned around. At this moment, it was holding the remaining bear meat and was chewing it. The little guy was very satisfied with its life, having no worries for food and shelter. He had been worried about how this little guy was doing, but now, it seemed like his worries were unnecessary. This little guy was living much better than him. He curled his lips and placed the little guy and backpack aside, letting it play by itself. Bell lay on the bed and slept soundly. The next morning, the sun was shining brightly. The laughter of the two children came from outside the window, mixed with the happy cries of the sled dogs. The snow outside the window coupled with these agile figures made people smile. Bell was in a daze when he suddenly felt something furry rub against his chin. It turned out that Little Reserve Food had already woken up and crawled from his backpack to his chest. Seeing the little guy like this, Bell rubbed its head. Then, he put it aside and prepared to wash up. Just as he pushed open the door of the hut, he saw Uncle Croutte fiddling with packaged handicrafts and placing them on the pickup truck. Seeing that Bell was awake, Uncle Croutte greeted him warmly. ¡°How was your rest yesterday?¡± Bell also smiled. ¡°Very good. I haven¡¯t slept so soundly for many days. Uncle Croutte, are you preparing to sell these in Fairbanks?¡± Bell also looked at the handicrafts. ¡°That¡¯s right. We have a collaboration with a traditional craft shop. They will help me sell these handicrafts. This thing was not worth much before since every Inuit knows some craftsmanship. I didn¡¯t expect it to become our income source now.¡± Uncle Croutte sighed at the turn of fate. Chapter 220 - Rare Reserve Food, Return After the few of them finished breakfast, Bell took the bearskin and got into Croutte¡¯s pickup truck with Ped and the thin man. After three hours, the pickup finally stopped in front of a craft shop in Fairbanks. The three of them got out of the car. ¡°Uncle Croutte, thank you so much. If you ever come to Shanghai, you have to call me.¡± ¡°Haha, don¡¯t worry. I will definitely come in the future.¡± After bidding farewell, they returned to the hotel that the production team had booked. The moment they entered the hotel, the production team and reporters rushed forward. They surrounded Bell and the other two. ¡°Mr. Bell, what do you think of the recording this time? Are you satisfied with it?¡± ¡°What were you thinking when you fought that black bear?¡± ¡°Mr. Bell, where are you going to record your next adventure?¡± A series of questions were thrown at Bell. Ped and the thin man received the same treatment. However, most of the questions they asked were about their experiences beside Bell, how Bell performed and their evaluation of him. After a few hours, the three of them finally entered their rooms. After changing, Bell told the production team to book a flight back to Shanghai tomorrow. It was not that he did not want to go back today, but he still had Reserve Food by his side. It was very troublesome to bring pets out of the country. They had to check if there were any pathogens and obtain a health permit. Only with this could they be transported normally. He rushed to the animal health center with Reserve Food. Along the way, the little guy¡¯s light blue fur and cute appearance attracted many gazes. Even the staff in the health center couldn¡¯t help but rub its head lovingly. Moreover, this little guy actually knew how to act cute. It was not afraid of strangers at all. It could go up and rub against anyone. With this skill, the little guy easily got a day¡¯s worth of food, making Bell speechless. ¡°Heavens, this little thing is too cute. Is this a sky blue arctic fox?¡± Bell was stunned. This was the first time he had heard such a name. However, since the other party could name it, it was probably not the first time he had seen such a fur-colored Arctic fox. With this in mind, Bell asked curiously. After asking around, Bell learned that there were really such blue arctic foxes. They were also called sapphire foxes. The name came from the fact that in a snowy environment, when the sun shone, the light reflected from their fur would make them shine like sapphires. However, this kind of sky blue Arctic fox was very rare. So far, less than ten have been found worldwide. The only one who was still alive was probably Reserve Food. After another half an hour of examination, the staff reluctantly returned the small Reserve Food to Bell. At the same time, she handed over a health certificate. ¡°The little guy is very healthy. You have to treat him better. He might be the only sky blue arctic fox in the world.¡± Hearing the staff¡¯s words, Bell looked at Reserve Food. The man and the fox looked at each other. Little Reserve Food¡¯s eyes were filled with flattery, while Bell looked at the little guy curiously. It seemed like he had guessed wrongly. He did not expect this little guy to be so rare. Previously, he had been wondering if he should eat it. But now, it seemed like he had to take good care of it. In any case, with his status, it was no issue to take care of it. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, Sister. I will definitely take good care of it.¡± He took the health certificate. Bell was about to leave with the little guy when the staff behind him stopped him. ¡°Uhmm, can you let me take a photo with him? He¡¯s too cute.¡± The young lady pointed at Reserve Food. Bell shrugged and did not refuse. Reserve Food seemed to know that it was very popular and obediently crawled into the nurse¡¯s arm. The staff was very happy to be able to take a photo with it. She suddenly thought of something and asked Bell. ¡°By the way, have you named this little guy?¡± Bell did not think too much about it. He had already decided on the name. ¡°Oh, his name is Reserve Food.¡± ¡°????¡± The moment he said that, all the staff present were stunned. Bell realized that he had said something wrong and quickly ran out of the health center. As for the staff, they were worried for the little guy after seeing Bell leave. Good lord, would this little thing end up in a hotpot one day? Shanghai. In Li Ziqi¡¯s villa. Bell was sleeping soundly on the bed. Reserve Food was not beside Bell. Light laughter sounded from outside the room. Bell woke up from the sound and pushed open the door. Chaotic voices sounded. Bell could not help but rub his head. In the living room, Scarlett, Keira, Li Ziqi, Anne, and the other women were holding Reserve Food and playing with it. The little guy found it quite novel at first, but as these women became more and more crazy, the little guy finally could not take it anymore. Seeing Bell appear, it quickly broke free from Anne¡¯s restraint and jumped to Bell¡¯s arms. It howled at Bell, as if complaining. Seeing Little Reserve Food like this, Bell smiled and placed it on his shoulder. ¡°You guys are too wild.¡± Seeing Little Reserve Food like this, the girls knew that they had gone overboard. ¡°This is the first time I¡¯ve seen such a little cutie, I couldn¡¯t help but play with it more.¡± ¡°How are you? Are you rested?¡± Scarlett Johansson walked up. Bell had already gotten off the plane last night, but it was almost midnight when he reached home. After meeting the girls and talking for a while, Bell had immediately gone to sleep. Although he had rested at Croutte¡¯s place for a night, the feeling of resting at home was different from resting outside. ¡°Breakfast is ready. Wash up and eat quickly.¡± Reserve Food seemed to understand. Its eyes lit up and it whined at Scarlett. Seeing Little Reserve Food like this, the girls were amused again. ¡°Alright, alright. You have a portion as well.¡± Chapter 221 - Meeting The few of them were amused by the little guy¡¯s cute appearance. Bell was eating his breakfast, when his phone rang. The caller was none other than the female host. Bell raised his eyebrows as he picked the call. ¡°Hello, Bell, I¡¯ve been trying to connect to you for a while. I couldn¡¯t get through to you when you were overseas. Are you back now? ¡± ¡°Yes, I just got off the plane last night. Didn¡¯t the production team tell you?¡± ¡°Don¡¯t mention it. I¡¯ve been busy these past few days. Didn¡¯t something happen to your team member, Jack? The entire production team is busy with this matter. In addition, Bear and Ed have also completed their survival missions. They¡¯re probably coming back soon. The production team is preparing to invite the three of you for a fan meeting. Of course, other than the three of you, the streamers from other famous platforms will also come. It can be considered an offline activity. This can help you all to gain more fans. I¡¯ve been calling you to tell you this news, but I couldn¡¯t get through.¡± Bell¡¯s face turned bitter. ¡°Sister, leave me out of it. It¡¯s fine if you do an interview, but there¡¯s no need to hold a gathering. I still want to make use of my vacation.¡± Bell was about to hang up. The beautiful host was not pleased. ¡°Hey, hey, hey, don¡¯t hang up, Bell. Can I beg you for this favor? You are the most popular contestant on the platform. If you don¡¯t go to this gathering, it won¡¯t work. The leader of the station told me to get you, or else I won¡¯t be able to continue my job. On the account that I treat you well, help me with this. It won¡¯t take up too much of your time.¡± The beautiful host played the emotional card. Seeing this, Bell was helpless. If it were anyone else, he would refuse. But he could not refuse the host. After all, she had given him a lot of preferential treatment during the program. Although his reputation had already risen, and the beautiful host could not help him much, he did not want to burn the bridge after crossing it. Helpless, Bell could only sigh. ¡°Alright, Sister. Since you¡¯ve said so, how about this? I really don¡¯t like such occasions, so I will just show up and then find an excuse to slip away, is that alright?¡± ¡°Alright, you can leave after you show your face.¡± The beautiful host also knew that she could not force Bell. In any case, with a gimmick like Bell, it was enough to just let everyone see that Bell was still around. After getting a satisfactory answer, the two of them hung up. Scarlett, Keira, and the others knew what was going on. ¡°How is it? The holiday is over, right?¡± Bell spread his hands helplessly. ¡°It isn¡¯t over, but from the looks of it, I won¡¯t be able to rest. Let¡¯s take this time to settle the company and rest for a few days.¡± Without the call, Bell could finally enjoy his breakfast in peace. After asking what Reserve Food could eat, Scarlett and the others took out some raw meat from the fridge and placed it on the plate. The little guy did not refuse and ate happily. It was not afraid of being rubbed. Bell couldn¡¯t help but roll his eyes. Because he could not bring it along, Bell could only leave it at home for the girls to take care of. ¡°Behave at home and don¡¯t cause trouble.¡± Bell said to Reserve Food. The little guy seemed to understand what Bell meant. After rubbing against him, it did not follow Bell out. Instead, it quietly jumped onto the sofa and began to search wantonly. For a moment, it was happy to play in this new environment. While eating, the beautiful host had already sent the time and location of this gathering to Bell. The fan meet would probably last for about two days. Bell called a car and rushed to the destination. As soon as he arrived, Bell saw that the various streamers were gathered together. Ed and Bear greeted Bell when they saw him. ¡°Bell, congratulations on shaking off the two of us.¡± Although they were a step slower than Bell, there was no displeasure on their faces. Wilderness survival itself was not a matter of speed. As long as they could successfully walk out of the hopeless situation, they would be considered the victor. After all, there were too many things in the wild that determined your speed. Of course, if you were strong, you would definitely be faster than ordinary people. The reason why Bear and Ed congratulated Bell was mainly because they had seen the exciting scenes of Bell¡¯s show. Although the two of them could try to kill the black bear and the coyote pack, it would not be as easy. Therefore, they were sincerely impressed by Bell. Moreover, Bell¡¯s team had encountered a split midway. Hearing their words, Bell quickly waved his hand. ¡°I was just lucky.¡± ¡°If this is considered lucky, then what are we? Don¡¯t be too humble. I really want to partner with you once. ¡± The two of them smiled and patted Bell¡¯s shoulder. ¡°Haha, there will be a chance.¡± ¡°Alright, you¡¯re the protagonist this time. Everyone is waiting for you.¡± The three of them walked to the center of the venue. As soon as they entered the venue, a large number of fans who were originally gathered around the other streamers surrounded the three of them. The other streamers were confused. What was going on? Was the show over? Seeing this, Bell couldn¡¯t help but smile bitterly. Good lord, he knew this would happen. Bell¡¯s number of fans was almost 100 million. This was definitely a shocking number. In addition, Bell¡¯s shocking performance this time made everyone look forward to his next performance. Everyone¡¯s distrust at the beginning towards an eight-year-old child recording Wilderness Survival had turned into admiration. It felt unreal. ¡°Alright, everyone, calm down. Let¡¯s see what our organizers have prepared for us.¡± Chapter 222 - Location This time, it was not only some streamers who came to participate in the gathering. The streamers from the various platforms also came after hearing the news. The production team naturally did not refuse. Now that Wilderness Survival was so popular, many people wanted to do a collaboration. Therefore, there were many familiar faces. Seeing Bell, Ed, and Bear walk forward, the internet celebrities went forward and introduced themselves. They were implying if they could partner up for one episode in Wilderness Survival to gain popularity. Bell smiled awkwardly at their enthusiasm. After a while, the matter was settled. Ed and Bear did not like this scene just like Bell. The three of them quickly found a remote corner and sat down. Bear suddenly looked at Bell and asked. ¡°Bell, when is your program going to be broadcast on the Discovery Channel?¡± Bell was stunned. ¡°Bear, how did you know?¡± Logically speaking, only the people in the company knew about this. He had not told anyone else about this. Ed laughed. Bear said, ¡°Haha, you don¡¯t know yet, right? The production team has already contacted the exploration channel. Since it involves copyright, they have to discuss it first. The two of us are special guests, so we will naturally receive news of this firsthand.¡± Hearing Bear¡¯s words, Bell understood. Ed nodded as well. ¡°That¡¯s right, little guy. Your potential is really great.¡± The two of them acknowledged Bell. Their voices were not loud, but the three of them were the focus of this gathering. The content of their conversation was naturally heard by some people. Knowing that Bell was going to record a program alone on the Discovery Channel, many people looked envious. In the end, the streaming field was still an industry for the youth. The greatest income was the gifts from the fans. Once their fame passed, it would mean the end of their career. But with the support of a platform or even a special program on the Discovery Channel, Bell would be remembered for a long time. It greatly extended his professional lifespan. Perhaps this was not a problem in the eyes of some small streamers, but the monthly income of big streamers was an astronomical figure. Once their career was extended, the income could be imagined. ¡°You don¡¯t usually pay attention to the platform, so you probably don¡¯t know. This was announced by the production team. Most of the contestants know about it. ¡± Bear smiled at Bell. Bell was enlightened. No wonder so many contestants looked at him with hostility when he participated in the show. They were jealous of him. Jack and the others wanted to step on him and snatch this opportunity. Unfortunately, they were not strong enough and could only end up miserably. After understanding the whole situation, Bell only smiled and stopped paying attention. This matter was temporarily settled after the show this time. What he had to do now was to plan his vacation. Seeing that there was nothing else to do in this gathering, Bell was unwilling to stay any longer. He took this opportunity to slip away. Half a month¡¯s vacation was not long, but it was not short either. During this period of time, Bell finished most of the procedures regarding the company. Because of Hanks, Bell¡¯s company was gradually starting to operate normally. After he had a good rest, Ped contacted him. After signing with Hanks, Ped became the first Wilderness Survival contestant on Bell¡¯s live-stream platform. At the same time, Hanks made some plans for Ped. Ped definitely could not surpass Bell in the wilderness survival field. Therefore, if Ped wanted to get famous, he had to use some other ways. For example, humor. These were all development ideas. He had to test them out slowly. Bell spent the time with Scarlett, Li Ziqi, and the other women. However, most of these women¡¯s attention was on Reserve Food. This little guy¡¯s soft fur was simply a female killer. After these few days of feeding, the little guy seemed to have gained some weight. Just as he pushed open the door, Bell saw Reserve Food attacking a teddy bear. Good lord, it was so afraid in the wilderness that it did not even dare to show its head. Now that it knew that it was safe, it was having real fun. Bell was helpless. He ignored Reserve Food and returned to his room. Because the Wilderness Survival¡¯s production team still needed some time to arrange the next season, Bell planned to use this time to record a survival episode alone to support his video platform. He was sitting in front of the computer, wanting to choose the location of this Wilderness Survival. ¡®The African savannah? No, now is not the time. There are too many large hunting animals there.¡¯ Lions, cheetahs, elephants, rhinoceroses, gorillas, African rock pythons, and so on. Each of them was very fatal and was not something he could fight against at the moment. Even wild dogs appeared in groups and could not be provoked. It was almost impossible for ordinary people to survive in such an environment. Even top experts like Bear and Ed had only wandered around the periphery. If he wanted to explore this forbidden land, he had to at least double his four attributes. It would be best if he could add a night vision skill. Dasht-e Lut? Bell shook his head again. That was the hottest place on Earth¡¯s surface. A temperature of 70.7 ¡ãC was recorded on it by NASA¡¯s satellite. This temperature was not something ordinary people could endure. Ordinary people would die in three minutes at most in this environment. Because 70 ¡ãC could already cause a qualitative change in the structure of the flesh. Moreover, this change was irreversible. Even if they did not die instantly, many important organs would be roasted. Before thinking of a suitable way to survive here, Bell was not prepared to challenge this dangerous area. The Bermuda Triangle? This was indeed a good place. Most importantly, it had a high attraction value. Even with the development of technology, its exact mysteries were still not clear. The unknown was the most terrifying. Before he was strong enough, Bell did not plan to take this risk. There did not seem to be any good places. Bell could not help but feel vexed. He casually moved his mouse as he looked at the laptop. Suddenly, Bell¡¯s eyes lit up. ¡°Maybe I can try here.¡± Chapter 223 - Amazon Rainforest Bell¡¯s eyes suddenly lit up as he saw a place on the map. It was a huge basin. Amazon rainforest. Although this place was also dangerous, it was undoubtedly much better than the few places he had thought of before. As a huge basin, the Amazon was surrounded by tall mountain ranges on three sides. Guiana Highlands in the North, Brazilian Highlands in the South, and The Andes in the West. It was because of these highland mountain ranges that the cold air could not flow into the Amazon. In addition, Amazon was at the equator. It caused the high temperature and frequent rain. Of course, the abundant rain also contributed to the prosperity of this place. It turned the Amazon into a huge animal kingdom. In the Amazon rainforest, many creatures could pose a fatal threat to humans. Among them were jaguars, black caiman, green anaconda, piranhas, pirarucu, electric eels, and bull sharks that Bell had encountered before. It could be said that this place was filled with danger both in the water and on land. Bull sharks were found everywhere in the Amazon. They could often be seen in the freshwater rivers. The main reason was that their internal organs were different. The Amazon River ended in the Atlantic Ocean. Every year, many bull sharks would swim along this river to the bay. But even these deadly animals were not Bell¡¯s greatest headache. Bell¡¯s greatest headache was the mosquitoes in the Amazon rainforest. Compared to animals, these little things could be said to be impossible to guard against. Countless people in Amazon were infected by diseases due to mosquito bites. They were the main communicators of hysteria. In a wilderness survival environment, being infected was almost fatal. In that case, the Amazon rainforest did not seem to be a good place to go. Even Bell was a little afraid. But soon, Bell shook his head and threw this thought out of his mind. As long as he was prepared, he believed that he could overcome this dangerous environment. However, what he had thought of earlier was only the more representative and common deadly creatures in the Amazon rainforest. Apart from that, there were also many troublesome creatures in Amazon, such as vandellia, bullet ants, and vampire fish. These were hidden dangers. Any mistake would result in death. But Bell did not retreat. Instead, he strengthened his confidence and began to prepare. In the current situation, this Amazon rainforest was indeed the most difficult place for Bell. Therefore, his plan and preparations had to be more detailed. Moreover, the higher the difficulty, the more interesting it would be. It perfectly met his requirements. With the help of Keira and the others, the visa problem was quickly resolved. After all, this was not Bell¡¯s first time overseas. He was familiar with these things. However, there were still a few days to wait for approval. Bell had prepared the materials during this time. At the same time, in order to attract more attention, Bell sent a message on his Weibo. ¡°I will begin a new round of wilderness survival live-stream in about three days. Please look forward to it.¡± It was just a short message, but it caused an uproar on Weibo. In minutes, there were hundreds of thousands of comments on Bell¡¯s Weibo. ¡°Haha, Bell, have you finally rested enough?¡± ¡°Bastard, you said you were going to rest behind our backs, but you went to the gathering to see the ladies?¡± ¡°Tell us secretly, do those female streamers look good offline?¡± ¡°Hey, what are you talking about?¡± ¡°Bell, where are you recording this time?¡± ¡°Do you think Bell will go to the African savanna?¡± ¡°No way, that place is too dangerous. It might be possible if it¡¯s the Rocky Mountains.¡± Looking at the comments on Weibo, Bell smiled and shook his head. These guys still liked to be lively. Soon, Bell bought a plane ticket to Manaus as his final destination. The Amazon rainforest covered a large area in Brazil. Manaus was located in the middle of the Amazon rainforest, but there was no direct plane from Shanghai. Therefore, Bell could only choose to transfer. He looked at Reserve Food, who was still playing. Bell was hesitant to bring this little guy along. After some thought, Bell shook his head. This little guy¡¯s physique had just been adjusted. If it was taken to such a dangerous place, it would probably fall sick. It would be troublesome without treatment. Scarlett and the others were at home. Although the little guy was a little afraid of these women, he could only leave it to them. There was no need to worry that this little guy would starve. Time passed quickly. In the blink of an eye, three days passed. It was time to board the plane. At the airport in Manaus, it was already nine in the evening. Bell carried his luggage and walked out of the airport. He hailed a taxi and drove to the hotel he had booked in advance. He looked a little nervous. Bell had his own difficulties. The security in Manaus was very bad, so bad that Chinese people could not imagine it. There were often rumors that the security in Rio was terrible. But if someone had been to Manaus, they would definitely scoff at this sentence. Manaus was ranked 11th in the world¡¯s dangerous cities. Many people die from gunshots every year. As the largest city in Brazil, Rio¡¯s security was naturally better. As long as they did not go to the slums or court death, their lives would not be in danger. But it was completely different in Manaus. Here, gangs were rampant, and sometimes, they even ignored the government. Drug lords and arms dealers could be seen everywhere. There was a high chance of encountering danger when tourists went out at night. Not long ago, there was news of a shootout here. A total of 37 people had died. In the end, the police closed the case as a gang fight. The most terrifying thing was that this happened in the day. As a resident of China, Bell did not dare to imagine such a situation. In addition, Bell was a child. The danger factor doubled. Although his physique was good, it was not good enough to withstand bullets. Therefore, it was better to avoid as much danger as possible. Chapter 224 - Robbery? In order to ensure his safety, Bell felt that it was better to keep a low profile. At the same time, there were often some gangsters near the airport, especially foreigners who were alone at night were their main source of income. In fact, the reason why Brazil had such a situation was because of the government¡¯s instability and inaction, as well as the economic backwardness. Bell had once seen a video of a Brazilian woman being interviewed about the high crime rate in Rio de Janeiro. Just as she was complaining to the camera that the local security was poor and the police were severely lacking, a man suddenly appeared behind her and snatched her golden necklace. This scene was a little ironic, but it was a sad matter. If it were in China, although there were robberies, they were definitely not so blatant. As for the shooting, that was even more impossible. Every time such a thing happened, the police would mobilize a large amount of manpower. At least, Bell had never heard of such a thing in China. He could only say that he was glad that he was born there. Soon, the taxi arrived at the entrance of Bell¡¯s hotel. After paying the fare and tip, Bell did not dare to delay and quickly walked into the hotel. The environment of the hotel was ordinary when compared to other places. It was definitely top-notch locally, so it was very expensive. However, Bell still chose this place without hesitation. The reason was simple. This was the best hotel in all of Manaus. If he wanted to live in this city for a long time, the correct way was to not go out after dark and stay in the hotel room obediently. A single foreigner wandering in Manaus at night was no different from a moving wallet. Back in the room, Bell immediately locked the door. Although the wilderness survival had not begun, the atmosphere was already there. Opening his laptop, Bell began to inquire about companies that rented helicopters. Without the production team to deal with these problems, he could only resolve them himself. Fortunately, he had a good friend, money. The tourism industry in Manaus was not bad. Although the security was poor, there were still many tourists who were not afraid of death who would come here to admire the primitive style of the Amazon rainforest. Therefore, there was a small company that rented helicopters very close to Bell. There were pictures uploaded by the company on the Internet. Looking at the models of these helicopters, the corners of Bell¡¯s eyes twitched. These models were honestly older than his grandfather¡¯s generation. Bell decided to bring a parachute. There was no guarantee the helicopter would not crash midway. Even if it was so dangerous, Bell had no choice. Because there was only this company that lent helicopters in the entire Manaus. The night passed uneventfully. The next morning, Bell sat in the hotel and tasted the delicacies of Manaus. Gallo pinto and churrasco . They were famous local delicacies. After tasting them, Bell did not like gallo pinto that much. In comparison, he felt that churrasco was quite good. There was beef, chicken leg, sausage, pineapple, and other fruits as well on the barbecue. Moreover, they were covered in honey. This taste was indeed rare in China. After breakfast, Bell hailed a taxi and rushed to his destination. Bell arrived at the company within half an hour. After some discussion, he booked a helicopter. He had completed his goal. However, when he left the company and wanted to take a taxi, he realized that no matter how hard he looked, there was no taxi. Helpless, Bell could only walk back. He passed by a deserted street. There was no one on this street. Bell immediately felt uneasy. Just as he was about to leave, three burly men suddenly rushed out of the alley and stopped him. ¡°You can actually afford to rent a helicopter? Looks like you have a lot of money. Perhaps I can sell you for a lot. You¡¯re fair and tender. Many people will definitely like you.¡± Greed flashed across the leader¡¯s eyes. At the same time, he took out a dagger and walked slowly to Bell. Seeing this, Bell sighed. He was already quite careful, but he was still targeted. It seemed like these guys had already targeted him when he went in to rent the helicopter. He looked around and realized that the business owners at the side were ignoring him. They had no intention of calling the police. It seemed like they were already used to such things. Bell was helpless. He then saw the weapon in the burly man¡¯s hand. Bell guessed that the other party did not have a gun. Otherwise, he would definitely take it out immediately. After all, this would be more intimidating. Bell felt much more at ease. As long as they did not have guns, he had a chance to resist. He secretly deduced the movements of these burly men. He pretended to be very timid. Coupled with Bell¡¯s eight-year-old face, it immediately made people relax. No one would have thought that an eight-year-old child would be a match for three burly men. ¡°No, don¡¯t hurt me. How about I give you money?¡± Bell had specially exchanged for the language from the system. Therefore, there was no obstacle in communicating. The burly man was stunned. He was surprised that Bell could speak their language so well. But since the other party understood, it was even simpler. ¡°Little guy, take out the money quickly. Don¡¯t dawdle. If we like it, we will spare you¡­ otherwise, hehe.¡± The burly man sneered, clearly having a bad thought. Bell also put his hand towards his wallet. Seeing that Bell was so sensible, the three burly men were even happier. ¡°Hurry up, brat!¡± At this moment, Bell was already a lamb waiting to be slaughtered in their eyes. After all, who would think that an eight-year-old child could defeat three strong men? However, just as the three of them were relaxed, Bell suddenly attacked. Bell moved like a bolt of lightning and struck the leader¡¯s lower body. The burly man widened his eyes as if he had been struck by lightning. The pain was so intense that he was unable to react for a moment. But the next second, a miserable scream spread throughout the entire alley. Chapter 225 - The Show Begins, Amazon Rainforest Then, the surrounding air seemed to freeze. The burly man fell to the ground with a scream. The intense pain made him roll around. The other two burly men looked at their companion on the ground and were stunned. No one had expected an eight-year-old child to be so fierce. Bell had no time to be stunned like the two of them. He seized the opportunity and leaned forward, slamming his elbow into the ribs of a burly man. Without any hesitation, he turned around and punched again. He used all his strength and hit the other person¡¯s abdomen. His actions were smooth. The battle lasted less than two seconds. When Bell stopped, the other two burly men were holding their stomachs and gasping. When the abdomen was hit by a huge force, it would usually cause short breathing difficulties. This pain could immobilize a person and prevent them from getting up for a while. Looking at the three people lying on the ground wailing, Bell did not dare to stay any longer. These three guys were clearly local gangsters. It was fine if they were defeated, but if he continued to show off, their companions might rush over. At that time, Bell would be the one to suffer. After Bell was done, the surrounding business owners reacted. Everything had happened too quickly, and they could not believe it. Moreover, this situation was completely different from what everyone had imagined. Looking at the three burly men kneeling on the ground, the surrounding shop owners gloated. They were often bullied by these gangs. Bell did not delay. He returned to his hotel room and quickly locked the door. After this, he finally experienced how dangerous this place was. This was during the day, yet they dared to rob openly. If it was night time, the security could be imagined. At this moment, Bell only wanted to finish the recording as soon as possible and return to China. Compared to here, it was much better in China. There was no need to consider these things at all. In order to prevent any accidents, Bell did not go out for lunch and dinner. He only ate at the hotel. The gangsters here were not hooligans on the streets. Every one of them was ruthless. After suffering a loss at Bell¡¯s hands today, they would think of a way to regain their dignity. Therefore, Bell decided to stay in the hotel. Early the next morning, Bell took a taxi to the company that rented the helicopter. Standing in front of the helicopter cabin, Bell nodded in satisfaction. Things went quite smoothly. As Bell boarded the helicopter, the propeller began to slowly turn, and a huge airflow gradually rose. Bell turned on his live broadcast equipment again. The equipment was activated, and a large number of the audience instantly rushed into the live-stream. ¡°Wow! The host is finally going live again?¡± ¡°Haha, we¡¯ve been waiting for a long time!¡± ¡°Wow, I heard that Bell paid for it himself. He even rented a helicopter. The funding is explosive.¡± ¡°I heard that there are many dangerous things in the Amazon rainforest. I wonder if he will encounter them?¡± ¡°I think this will definitely be exciting.¡± ¡°Do you think Bell will make a raft this time?¡± The comments in the live-stream kept floating past. At this moment, the helicopter was rising higher and higher. Soon, the helicopter arrived above the Amazon rainforest. Bell saw the entire Amazon rainforest. Looking at the endless river below, Bell turned to look at the camera. ¡°We are now in the sky above the Amazon rainforest. This is a primeval rainforest. At the same time, it is the largest rainforest in the world. Its total area reaches seven million square kilometers. The entire Amazon Basin spans nine countries, including Brazil, Ecuador, and Colombia. Whether it¡¯s animals or plants, there are many species here. It¡¯s even known as the animal and plant kingdom.¡± ¡°Because of the huge amount of plants in the Amazon rainforest, there is a lot of oxygen provided by it. The oxygen produced by this rainforest every year is one-tenth of the global oxygen supply. It is definitely worthy of being called the lungs of the planet. The animals here are larger because of the large amount of oxygen. At the same time, due to the intense competition, they are more ferocious as well. To wilderness survivalists, this is almost a forbidden zone. If you don¡¯t have outstanding survival skills, it will be difficult to even last a day here. ¡± While Bell was talking, the helicopter had already arrived in the depths of the Amazon rainforest and was floating 20 meters above the river. Bell stood in front of the cabin door and looked back at the camera. ¡°Welcome to this episode of wilderness survival. This time, I will show everyone how to survive in such an extreme tropical rainforest environment. The show begins now.¡± As Bell¡¯s voice fell, Bell jumped and plunged into the river below. Twenty meters was not high, and Bell¡¯s skills were already at the highest level. With a bang, Bell plunged into the river and broke the surface. After floating to the surface, Bell waved at the helicopter. After confirming that Bell was safe, the helicopter returned. Bell was the only one left. Bell did not dare to stay any longer and quickly swam to the shore. ¡°We have to hurry. This is the Amazon rainforest. The danger level in the water is much higher than on land. No one knows what is in the rapids. Black caiman, piranha, bull shark, pirarucu, and other water creatures here are enough to take your lives. The detestable thing is that these things actually like to live in rivers.¡± Bell quickly reached the shore. After reaching ashore, Bell was not in a hurry to leave. Instead, he carefully checked if there was anything hidden in his clothes. After confirming that everything was okay, Bell heaved a sigh of relief. ¡°Our luck is not bad. Those big guys are not the only fatal things in the Amazon rainforest. Sometimes, some inconspicuous little guys can kill you here. ¡± ¡°You have to be careful when swimming here. Because there is a fish called vandellia here. They are very small, but they can live on other fish. ¡± Bell seemed to think of something and smiled strangely. Chapter 226 - Naughty Vandellia ¡°If you adventure here, you have to be careful when entering the water. This is because this vandellia will enter the bladder through the urethra. Its head is like a hook. Even when you discharge urine, they will use these hooks to firmly hook your urethra. When they are hungry, they will eat your bladder. Once it enters your body, you have to take it out through surgery. You have to get a timely operation, or your life will be in danger. ¡± After Bell finished speaking, everyone in the live-stream felt a chill. ¡°F*ck, this is too abnormal!¡± ¡°Just hearing it hurts!¡± ¡°I won¡¯t go to the Amazon rainforest even if you beat me to death.¡± ¡°Is anyone looking for excitement?¡± ¡°Is this episode going to be high level?¡± Seeing that the audience seemed to be frightened, Bell smiled in satisfaction. ¡°Alright, don¡¯t worry too much. This parasitic catfish has only been found in the Amazon River so far. It has not been found in other places. ¡± ¡°If a native is really penetrated by a vandellia, they will usually eat a plant similar to tea leaves and boil it into water to drink. This tea will melt the bones of the vandellia and prevent it from being fixed in the urinary tract. At that time, it will be discharged along with urine. ¡± Hearing Bell¡¯s explanation, the male fans in the live-stream heaved a sigh of relief. Bell began to move through the rainforest. Because of the abundant oxygen, the trees here were huge, and sunlight was scarce in the forest. Although it was noon, the forest was still a little dark. The ground was covered in thick moss and fallen leaves. It was a little soft to step on, making one feel uneasy. Five to six meters tall trees could only be considered short here. They had to be ten or so meters to keep up with the rest. From time to time, a huge tree could be seen opening like a huge umbrella, blocking all the sunlight in the sky. It was a little oppressive. Walking in the rainforest, Bell could smell the strong smell of decay in the air. It was as if everything here was damp. As for the moss on the ground, as long as he stepped on it, water would seep out. Walking here, he felt wet and sticky. Stepping on the soft dead leaves, Bell moved very carefully. As he walked, he did not forget to interact with the audience in the live-stream. ¡°I saw that many people in the comments in the live-stream are curious. How can this vandellia pinpoint the urethra of the human body? There is a reason for this. This is because the urethra of the human body emits a unique chemical that is attractive to them. By the way, I forgot to mention one thing. These vandellia will not only choose men as their host. Moreover, it might not be the urethra.¡± The audience in the live-stream was speechless. Good lord, there was actually a surprise. Everyone felt their buttholes tighten. They were curious, but they did not dare to continue asking, afraid that they would get another hardcore knowledge. After walking in the rainforest for more than ten minutes, Bell¡¯s clothes were drenched in sweat. The temperature here was very high, and the humidity was also very high, so it gave people a stuffy feeling. This was caused by the excess temperature in the human body. In addition, the humidity in the outside world was too high, and they could not cool down with sweat. At the same time, Bell realized that the light in the forest seemed to have dimmed. Thunder sounded from the sky above. Bell was not surprised. ¡°The environment of the Amazon rainforest is actually very difficult to grasp. There are no four seasons here. Here, there is only the difference between the dry season and the rainy season. During the dry season, there would be no rain for a long time, and the river would shrink to a certain extent. In the rainy season, there will often be heavy rains. It¡¯s normal for there to be heavy rains a few times a day. This situation will continue until April next year, which occupies the time of two seasons. ¡± Soon, dark clouds gathered in the sky, and bean-sized raindrops fell. In less than a minute, Bell was drenched. Wiping the water from his face, Bell was not irritated. Instead, he smiled. ¡°To be honest, I hope the rain can last longer. I feel very comfortable now. The rain has lowered our body temperature greatly. The normal temperature in the Amazon rainforest is around 33 ¡ãC, even at night, it will still be 25 ¡ãC. Under this temperature and the dense humidity, it can be said to be a huge steamer. It¡¯s even more uncomfortable than when we were in Australia because there¡¯s no wind here.¡± The dense trees blocked the monsoon wind. Suddenly, Bell was stunned. ¡°Wait!¡± Bell, who had been moving forward, stopped and carefully retreated. His muscles tensed, and his expression clearly became serious. The audience in the live-stream was shocked when they saw Bell¡¯s actions. They followed Bell¡¯s gaze and saw a huge snake coiled under a tree about ten meters in front of him. A large portion of the snake¡¯s body was covered in dead leaves, but even through the exposed part of its body, this snake was five meters long. In addition, its body was as thick as a bucket, making people¡¯s hair stand on end. Some of the audience who had ophidiophobia even left the live broadcast screen. Bell frowned and did not dare to act rashly. This guy would be very dangerous if it attacked. Although it was huge, it was not slow at all. The man and the snake were in a stalemate for about a minute. The giant snake under the tree did not seem to be too interested in Bell. After looking at Bell for a while, it lowered its head and continued to rest. Bell heaved a sigh of relief and slowly retreated to avoid disturbing the snake. Bell was relieved when he retreated about 50 meters and reached a safe distance. ¡°Hehe, it¡¯s really a bad start. Did everyone see that? It is a green anaconda, the heaviest snake in the world. Its body is as thick as a bucket. It can easily swallow a person. ¡± ¡°These big guys usually roam in the nearby villages where they directly devour livestock.¡± ¡°I don¡¯t want to be this guy¡¯s lunch.¡± Chapter 227 - Green Anaconda Recalling the green anaconda, Bell shook his head. ¡°To be honest, this is the last creature I want to meet in this forest. Because the way they kill their prey is too cruel. Although they look slippery, their strangulation ability is definitely at the top of the food chain. Normally, when they hunt, they use their incomparably powerful strength to wrap around their prey until it suffocates. When an adult green anaconda captures its prey, it can exert 15 pounds of strength per square centimeter. With the thick body of the green anaconda, if it wraps around us, our chests and bones will probably instantly shatter. After all, it can instantly release 90 PSI. That¡¯s nearly three tons of weight sitting on our chests. Adult green anacondas sometimes even chose to hunt black caiman. Their thick muscles are so strong that even the four-meter-long black caiman is not their match. ¡± The audience in the live-stream was also excited. At the same time, they were shocked. ¡°F*ck, I remember there was a movie called Anaconda. I thought it was all fake, but now, it seems like the movie was a little reserved.¡± ¡°Oh my god, this is too scary. Mommy, I want to go home. Oh, no. I¡¯m at home. It¡¯s fine. ¡± ¡°The snacks in my hand don¡¯t taste good from the fear.¡± ¡°To be honest, this is the first time I¡¯ve seen such a large snake. It¡¯s simply too exaggerated.¡± ¡°I got goosebumps.¡± ¡°Bell, why are pythons and boas differently classified?¡± ¡°Bell, how long can the largest size of the green anaconda be?¡± ¡°I¡¯ll answer your question for Bell. The difference between a python and a boa is their names.¡± The comments in the live-stream began to discuss. Bell looked at the comments and explained patiently. ¡°Everyone, you¡¯re mistaken. Pythons and boas are completely different. Compared to pythons, boas were more ancient snakes. They have existed for tens of millions of years. Pythons are oviparous, while boas are mostly viviparous. Pythons are a new species of snakes. To be precise, the python¡¯s evolution could be said to be successful. They both rely on constriction to kill their prey. As for the size of the anaconda, theoretically speaking, it can grow to ten meters. But the average length is six meters.¡± Bell explained patiently to the audience in the live-stream. The rain did not stop. Instead, it became heavier, causing the soil to become much softer. It became more difficult for Bell to walk. About a hundred meters later, Bell was covered in mud. After spending a lot of effort climbing up a slope, Bell had already exhausted a lot of strength. In order to save energy, Bell sat on the ground. ¡°Let¡¯s rest for a while. In this rainforest environment, even an army cannot travel more than three kilometers a day. The main reason is that this environment consumes too much stamina. We only walked about 500 meters just now, but I am already very tired. Most importantly, there are trees all around you which can easily confuse you. It is normal to get lost. In this rainforest, there was once an expedition team that searched for the treasures of El Dorado. However, they did not find the treasure. Instead, they were trapped in the rainforest for five days and five nights. By the time the rescue team found them, they were all dead. This could be considered a type of curse of the treasure. But everyone has to admit that it is indeed easy to get lost in this rainforest.¡± Bell rested for a while and recovered some strength. He did not dare to delay. He stood up and walked deeper into the forest. ¡°Every year, when it is the rainy season in the Amazon rainforest, the river level in the rainforest will increase sharply, causing flash floods. We are not looking for a survival route right now. Our goal is to move as far away from this river as possible and move to a higher terrain. Because this way, we can stay away from danger and use the high terrain to confirm our survival route.¡± As he spoke, he moved forward with difficulty. Bell was consuming a lot of water and heat almost every moment. Fortunately, the rain could help Bell lower the temperature. Otherwise, this environment would be even more uncomfortable. Not only was his speed slow, but he also had to be on guard every moment. Because there were too many dangers here, hiding in the dark. Any mistake could be fatal. The jaguars in the forest were representative hunters. They had a strong bite force and were extremely fast. They could bite off the neck of their prey in an instant. Bell did not know if he could fight such a guy. After walking for about an hour, Bell leaned against a tree and prepared to take a short rest. There was already a lot of water accumulated in his shoes. His feet were already slightly white. ¡°Let¡¯s rest for a while. It¡¯s really easy to get trench foot in this damn place. Because your feet are soaked in water most of the time, the skin on your feet can easily peel off. I have told before that in the wilderness, legs are extremely important. Because once they are injured, it will seriously affect your speed. Your chances of survival will also be greatly reduced. ¡± ¡°I don¡¯t want to be infected with trench foot. I believe everyone knows very well what it means to be unable to walk in such a dangerous environment. Therefore, I have to rest every two to three hours to ensure that my feet are dry.¡± Bell¡¯s shoes were gifted by the system, and they were very breathable. Actually, there was no need to worry about this issue. But after all, he was streaming wilderness survival, so he wanted to show it correctly. After resting for ten minutes and drinking some water, Bell stood up again. The heavy rain was not over, but the rain slowly weakened, as if it would stop at any moment. Chapter 228 - Catfish The rain continued for two hours before gradually stopping. However, the dark clouds in the sky did not dissipate. It seemed like it might rain again. After the rain, the smell of decay in the forest became stronger. Bell knew that these smells were mainly from the dead leaves and trees on the ground. ¡°In the Amazon rainforest, food is easier to find.¡± Bell had already walked to a banana tree. However, Bell did not get too close. Instead, he maintained a distance of about a meter from the banana tree. ¡°Of course, if you want to obtain food, you need to have some tricks. Because there are also many who are looking for food like you. ¡± Bell adjusted the camera and aimed at a tender green leaf on the banana tree. There was a small brown spider lying on it. ¡°Do you see this? These are armed spiders. Their toxicity is comparable to the Sydney funnel-web spider. They have not been ranked yet. However, I don¡¯t care about this, because no matter what, it won¡¯t feel good to be bitten by them. If the bite is not treated in time, it can be fatal. ¡± Bell picked up two dead branches from the ground and carefully approached the armed spider. As Bell approached, the armed spider seemed to sense danger. However, it was still a step slower than Bell. Bell was quick. The branch shook and accurately hit the armed spider in the middle, preventing it from moving. Bell brought the spider to the camera. ¡°Look, this guy is quite ugly. Moreover, they have another name, banana spiders. Because these spiders like to stay on banana trees. Remember, don¡¯t take any chances. Armed spider is one of the few spiders that take the initiative to attack. As long as you are close enough, they will attack regardless of whether you are a threat or not. There was once an Englishman who bought some bananas. While tasting them, an armed spider jumped out of the banana and bit him hard. Although the treatment saved his life in time, he permanently lost his sexual ability. ¡± Hearing this, everyone in the live-stream was shocked, especially the male audience. ¡°F*ck, I will quickly check the bananas I just bought!¡± ¡°This thing sounds even more terrifying than the vandellia!¡± ¡°Why do the creatures of the Amazon rainforest specialize in attacking the lower parts?¡± ¡°Permanently? F*ck, I would rather fight the green anaconda than face such a spider.¡± ¡°I choose death.¡± ¡°After watching Bell¡¯s live broadcast, I realized how safe my home is.¡± ¡°Bell, Bell, can this thing be eaten?¡± Bell was holding the armed spider with the tree branch. He looked at it and stabbed it to death before throwing the tree branch aside. ¡°I saw an audience ask if this thing can be eaten. To be precise, it can be eaten, but it will definitely taste disgusting. We have other food, so we won¡¯t eat this. I don¡¯t have any masochistic tendencies.¡± Hearing Bell¡¯s words, the audience in the live-stream immediately understood that Bell¡¯s conditions now were quite good. Some of the audience who liked to seek novelty were slightly disappointed. After killing the armed spider, Bell did not continue to approach the banana tree. Armed spiders liked to be in groups. If there was one, there would definitely be a second and third. In order to ensure his safety, it was better to look at other places for food. As Bell continued forward, the trees became less dense. Soon, a large swamp appeared before Bell. The swamps that were not common in other places were very common in the Amazon rainforest. Because of the abundant rain, this rainforest was soaked in rain for most of the year. The water below the ground was already saturated. Under this environment, swamp puddles would form here and there. Looking at the swamp in front of him, Bell sized it up warily. This was a paradise for black caiman crocodiles and green anacondas. After confirming that there were no such things, Bell carefully approached the swamp. ¡°We have to be careful in such a place. Green anacondas and black caiman both like to hide in swamps and wait for prey. Especially the black caiman. They wait till the prey is close enough before jumping out of the swamp. They are patient hunters. They wait till they can get the prey in one strike. Their attack range is two meters. Fortunately, from my observation, these dangerous creatures are not in this swamp. ¡± At this moment, Bell had already walked to the edge of the swamp and bent down. ¡°However, encountering such a swamp might not be a bad thing, because other than those dangerous things, there is also a lot of food here. For example, crabs, frogs, and catfish.¡± Bell groped carefully in the water. His eyes suddenly lit up. His hands touched something, and he felt a slippery feeling in his palms. It was either fish or a snake. Bell immediately looked surprised. His hands were not slow as he grabbed at the creature in the water. The audience in the live-stream was also interested. They wanted to see what Bell had caught. Because the water in the swamp was very turbid, it was impossible to see what was below. It was a little like opening a mystery box. People were afraid of the unknown, but they were also curious. The turbid water made it difficult to see the situation inside. Moreover, the Amazon forest was filled with dangerous creatures. Who knew if there was not a green anaconda inside. According to his experience, Bell felt that it should be a catfish, and it was not small. There was a layer of slime on the surface of the catfish, and it was very slippery. Bell was not able to grab it tightly. The catfish also sensed the danger and struggled crazily. Immediately, the swamp became even more turbid, and water splashed everywhere. The power displayed by fish in the water and on land was definitely worlds apart. They could even release strength several times greater than their bodies in the water. Of course, the exact amount depended on the species of the fish. However, one thing was certain. An omnivorous fish like the catfish was definitely much stronger than herbivorous fish. Chapter 229 - Giant Catfish, Humblebrag Bell was standing beside the swamp, covered in mud. It was already very difficult to stand steadily, not to mention that there was a large catfish in his hand. The catfish struggled violently and almost dragged Bell into the swamp. Fortunately, Bell stabilized himself in time and slowly moved his hands toward the catfish¡¯s gills. After confirming the location, he dug his finger into the gills and exerted strength. With a splash, it broke through the water and was thrown ashore by Bell. Although it had already left the water, the catfish was still unwilling to give up. It kept twisting its body, wanting to return to the swamp. But Bell would not give it another chance. He took out the dagger and stabbed it into the catfish¡¯s head. He raised the catfish to the camera with a smile. ¡°Look, this is a catfish. They can be seen almost everywhere in the world. Their adaptability can be said to be extremely strong. When food is scarce, they will also eat some water birds and rats.¡± ¡°You might think this catfish is quite big, but if there are no natural enemies, these guys can even live for more than 60 years. It could definitely be considered a long life among fish. How big do you think a seventy-year-old catfish would be? For now, the largest catfish found in the world is in the Mekong River. It was already 2.7 meters long and weighed 293 kilograms. This is already the weight of an adult brown bear. According to the local fishermen, this huge catfish could even drag a raft for several kilometers underwater. Bamboo rafts have a huge floating force. The deeper it goes, the greater the force. ¡± ¡°Occasionally, you can see huge catfish in videos of wild fishing. If you are lucky enough to encounter such a situation, I suggest you cut the fishing line or give up on the fishing rod. Because you are definitely not its match. Don¡¯t even try it alone.¡± As Bell spoke, he had already cut open the head and tail of the catfish and pulled out its internal organs. ¡°Although this guy looks big, its head occupies almost a third of its body. After removing its tail and internal organs, there are not many parts that can be used.¡± Bell had been moving for a long time and was already hungry. Looking at the snow-white fish meat, Bell bit into it without hesitation. The catfish skin was very elastic. It felt like biting on a piece of rubber, making Bell tear it for a while before biting off a piece. Bell tasted the fish and said. ¡°No matter where the catfish are, they have a habit of feeding on carrion, so there will inevitably be a large number of parasites in their bodies. If you are in the wild, you should cook it completely if the situation permits it. However, my situation is a little special. It is very difficult to start a fire in the rainforest, especially now that everything is wet with the rain. We have no choice but to eat it raw. Choose between parasites and death? I choose parasites. ¡± The strong fishy smell in his mouth made Bell frown. He chewed for a while and swallowed. At the same time, Bell did not hesitate and tore off another large piece of fish meat. Although this catfish looked to be 50 centimeters long, without its head and tail, it was only about 20 centimeters long. After removing its internal organs, the edible parts were only a few kilograms. Soon, the catfish was finished by Bell. Taking advantage of this free time, Bell looked at the camera and continued. ¡°Actually, eating meat raw in the wilderness will very likely cause you to be infected with parasites. If you have really experienced such a wilderness adventure, you will have to undergo a comprehensive examination after you return and have an infusion to remove the parasites. I have to say this to everyone. What I do in the wilderness can only act as a reference. Don¡¯t imitate it lightly. After all, not everyone is familiar with these skills. A little knowledge is dangerous. If you fail to apply it, it could get troublesome. ¡± The audience in the live-stream couldn¡¯t help but complain. ¡°Haha, Bell is acting cool again.¡± ¡°Humblebragging, are we?¡± ¡°I don¡¯t dare to talk about other aspects. At the very least, the raft I make won¡¯t sink.¡± ¡°Previous poster, you¡¯re really killing me.¡± Looking at the comments in the live-stream, Bell rolled his eyes. These guys really knew how to rub it in. However, Bell could not be bothered with the teasing in the live-stream. He drank another mouthful of water and continued to move towards his goal. Because it was the rainy season, the swamp area had clearly become much larger. Bell could only walk in the areas without water as much as possible. After all, the swamp was abnormally turbid, and no one could see what was inside. If there was a black caiman or a green anaconda hiding inside, he could bid farewell to his life. The mud here was very thick and could even reach Bell¡¯s knees. Every step was very difficult for Bell. In just ten minutes, Bell was covered in sweat. ¡°Do you see that? I said that even an army moving at the highest speed can only travel three kilometers a day in this environment. This is definitely not an exaggeration. With the intense energy expenditure and this humid environment, we need to replenish at least 4.5 liters of fresh water every day. Moreover, this rainforest looks like there is water everywhere, but in fact, there are very few drinkable water sources. ¡± ¡°Because there are many parasites here. The water can only be drunk after it is filtered and boiled. Unfortunately, starting a fire is a huge problem, so we can only think of other ways to find water to drink.¡± After resting for a while, Bell continued moving. This mud was really a headache. Every time Bell pulled his leg out, it would take a lot of effort. When he pulled his leg out, there was a gurgling sound, like the sound of a cork being opened. At the same time, there was an unpleasant rotten smell that made Bell dizzy. Fortunately, this swamp was only about 500 meters long. Bell saw the end and gained some hope. Even so, he still walked for nearly an hour. Stepping on the dead leaves on the ground again, Bell heaved a sigh of relief. He had never felt so comfortable. At the same time, the rain began to fall again. Chapter 230 - Bullet Ants Because of the huge trees, the rain did not fall directly to the ground. It hit the tender leaves, making crackling sounds. If they were not in this environment, it would sound quite refreshing. After walking for dozens of meters, Bell saw a dead tree on the ground in front of him. Bell¡¯s eyes lit up as he quickly walked to the dead tree. Looking at the pool of water in the groove, Bell smiled. Bell pointed at the small pool in the groove. ¡°Look, this water can be drunk without worry. It¡¯s usually formed by the accumulation of rain. Although there are also some impurities, it is much cleaner than the water in the swamp. However, in the wild, before drinking this accumulated rain, you have to judge if it has rained in the past few days. Because even if it is rain water, if it has been exposed to the air for too long, it will still breed some bacteria and parasites. But there¡¯s definitely no problem here, because it rains almost every day. ¡± Bell bent down and began to suck the rainwater from the groove. There was not much water, and Bell finished it in a few mouthfuls. With the replenishment of water, Bell heaved a sigh of relief. Looking at the dust at the bottom of the tree pit, Bell said. ¡°We have to be careful not to drink the dust at the bottom.¡± His body replenished some water, and Bell clearly felt better. He was energetic as he continued walking. The rain fell frequently during the rainy season in the Amazon rainforest. Sometimes, it was not uncommon to see the rain continue for a few days and nights in a row, so floods often happened. As time passed, the light in the rainforest weakened. Bell stood on the spot and looked up at the sky through the gaps in the lush leaves. If he was not wrong, the sky would gradually darken in about two hours. ¡°We need to find a place to build a shelter.¡± There were many good areas in the Amazon rainforest. After all, there were many tall trees here. As long as a suitable tree was found, Bell could build a shelter on it. Moreover, some unique plants could be found in this tropical rainforest. For example, tree roots that were several meters tall, and the tall tree in front of Bell. Its thick tree roots could be seen above ground. Bell estimated that this tree was at least ten meters tall. On the thick tree trunk, there were many branches and leaves. It was indeed very suitable to build a shelter. ¡°In this rainforest, our shelter has to be far from the ground. Not only is the ground damp, but there are also many dangers. There was once an outdoor enthusiast who wanted to cross the Amazon rainforest. In the end, on the first night on the ground, parasites laid eggs on his scalp. In the end, he had to cut off his scalp to save his life. ¡± The audience in the live-stream felt their scalps tingle. They tried to imagine what it would feel like to have eggs in the scalp. Just the thought of it gave them goosebumps. Not to mention the pain, just the scene was unbearable. ¡°F*ck, Bell, stop talking. I can¡¯t take it anymore!¡± ¡°This is too hardcore. I¡¯ll vomit first!¡± ¡°Bell, we were wrong. We won¡¯t tease you anymore. Stop talking.¡± ¡°No, I¡¯m eating. I¡¯m eating rice!¡± ¡°Why does my scalp feel itchy? Am I being parasitized too?¡± ¡°Previous poster, you should wash your hair.¡± Looking at the comments in the live-stream, Bell smiled evilly. This was the effect he wanted. After all, they were always teasing him. They even said that he could not make a good raft? Some even said that it was a black hole! It was really unbearable. His shipbuilding skills were maxed out, okay? However, it was fine as long as the effect was achieved. Bell did not continue to tease them. Moreover, this matter was indeed true and not fabricated by him. No matter what, he would not make his shelter on the ground. Walking into the tree, Bell suddenly realized that there were a few brown ants on the tree. After observing carefully, Bell sighed. ¡°No, we have to find another tree as a shelter. There are already residents on this tree.¡± Bell zoomed in on the ants. It moved to the two-centimeter-long ants on the tree root. ¡°Do you see these guys? These are bullet ants. They are irritable and usually eat insects bigger than them. Looking at their mandibles carefully, don¡¯t they look like a pair of pincers? I¡¯ll tell you that these guys are actually poisonous. Although it is not the deadly kind, it should not be underestimated. If you are unfortunately bitten by it, I bet you will remember it for the rest of your lives. At the bite wound, you will feel pain like being pierced by a bullet. Moreover, this pain will continue to spread to the limbs for a few hours. ¡± Although very few people had experienced bullet wounds, everyone could imagine it. Bell picked up a thin tree branch and brought it to the bullet ant. Seeing that something dared to provoke it, the ferocious ant bit the front end of the tree branch. Moreover, no matter how he swayed, it had no intention of releasing its bite. Bell showed the ant to the audience in the live-stream. ¡°Look at how ferocious they are. If they bite you, they will keep biting you and not let go. Moreover, it will continue to inject venom into the prey. This kind of pain is first in Schmidt sting pain index. If some people with sensitive physiques are bitten by these little guys, the pain will be enough to make them twitch and fall to the ground. ¡± Hearing that this small guy was actually so powerful, the audience in the live-stream was a little afraid. They then heard Bell say. ¡°Alright, there¡¯s no need to be so nervous. After all, this thing is not fatal. In some tribal coming-of-age ceremony, there is a ceremony that will make the clansmen wear gloves filled with bullet ants for ten minutes. If they could not hold on, it means that they failed the ritual. They will have to continue again until they can last ten minutes. ¡± Chapter 231 - Blue Poison Dart Frog, Danger Arrives Hearing this, everyone couldn¡¯t help but gasp. Good lord, one minute of being pierced by bullet ants was enough to make them remember it for a lifetime, let alone ten minutes. A strange scene appeared in the comments. Everyone expressed that they were still children and did not need a coming-of-age ceremony. After introducing the little guys, Bell let go of the tree branch and continued to search for his shelter. As time passed, the light in the rainforest began to dim. He did not have much time left, and the rain was still falling. He had to build the shelter before dark. Otherwise, he would definitely fall sick from the rain. Normally, being sick was not scary. But in this environment, once his condition weakened, it might lead to other illnesses. It would be really troublesome then. There was already some water accumulated on the ground. Bell felt uncomfortable in the rain. It had been two hours. It was time to relax his legs again. But he had to hold on for a while longer. Fortunately, luck was on Bell¡¯s side. After searching for a while, Bell finally found a suitable shelter. The tree in front of him was not particularly tall or thick, but its appearance was unique. Dozens of branches kept intertwining, seemingly turning into a natural hammock. Bell walked forward and carefully sized it up. He wiped the rain from his face and smiled. ¡°Nature is really magical. This tree in front of me is really interesting. These tree branches are connected like a natural hammock. We just need to lay some leaves on it and we can sleep peacefully.¡± Wood could be found everywhere in this rainforest. Soon, Bell found more than ten branches and placed them at the bottom. A natural shelter was quickly completed. After doing this, Bell took out his dagger and found some palm leaves. The palm leaves were tied together and tied to the top of the shelter with vines. After the shelter was built, Bell lay on it and realized that it was quite sturdy. ¡°Not bad, I¡¯m very satisfied with this shelter. It is more than a meter high, isolating the insects and snakes on the ground. Moreover, these palm leaves can block the rain for us. It¡¯s not completely dark yet. We can¡¯t waste time. Let¡¯s look around. It will be best if we can find another dinner. ¡± The rain in the rainforest made some creatures active, such as the frogs. This weather was very friendly to them. Bell walked slowly on the water, his eyes constantly looking around. Suddenly, a crisp frog cry sounded in his ears. Bell was delighted and quickly stopped. Although the frog¡¯s cry reached Bell¡¯s ears, because of the rain, a portion of the sound was covered, making it difficult for him to determine the direction. He stood there and waited for a while. Soon, the frog¡¯s cry sounded again. This time, Bell was prepared and quickly walked in the direction of the sound. On a leaf, a small frog was lying on it. This frog was covered in the color of sapphires and looked quite beautiful. Moreover, there were a few black spots on its back. Bell shook his head in disappointment. ¡°Sigh, we are unlucky. I thought we could find dinner, but I didn¡¯t expect to encounter a blue poison dart frog. It is better to stay away from it. This guy is poisonous. It is a dangerous creature that can kill. If you encounter it in the wilderness, you better be careful. Because once it feels danger around it, the poisonous glands under its skin will secrete venom and attach to its body. ¡± The blue poison dart frog was not afraid when it saw Bell approaching. It continued to stay on the leaf. Bell picked up a tree branch and touched the blue poison dart frog on the green leaf. The blue poison dart frog jumped a few times on the leaf, and a layer of transparent mucus quickly formed on its clear blue skin. Bell zoomed in. ¡°Do you see this? It¡¯s this mucus. This is the venom they secrete. It is very poisonous. Some native tribes in the Amazon rainforest will capture blue poison dart frogs and smear their venom on the arrowheads to hunt large prey. ¡± Bell could only give up. Although Bell had eaten a catfish at noon, the intense activity in the afternoon had exhausted all the energy. He threw away the tree branch and looked at the darkening sky. He could only return to the shelter. However, just as he was about to turn and leave, his hair suddenly stood on end, and a dangerous feeling rose from his heart. Without thinking, Bell subconsciously jumped forward. With a puff, Bell fell into the mud. At the same time, he felt a trace of pain on his back. But before he could get up, the sound of air being torn apart sounded again. Relying on his intuition, Bell quickly moved. When he turned around, Bell saw a pair of cold eyes looking at him with a trace of greed. It was as if it was looking at its prey. Intimidation! Without hesitation, Bell immediately activated the skill. The owner of the gaze paused. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Bell quickly rolled and took a few steps back to distance himself from the other party. Only then did Bell see what was attacking him. It was a jaguar, two meters long, without calculating the size of its tail. Its shoulder height was also close to a meter, and it looked extremely muscular. Compared to the cheetahs in Africa, it was twice as big. It was not inferior to some small tigers. The hateful thing was that these guys were extremely fast. Bell¡¯s speed was not slow. In the blink of an eye, if not for the sense of danger, Bell¡¯s neck would have been bitten off. But even so, he was still injured with a wound on his back. Fortunately, it was just a shallow one and not fatal. The jaguar¡¯s movements were smooth. It did not stop after missing its first attack and was prepared to attack Bell a second time. Fortunately, he had activated the skill in advance. Otherwise, he would probably be in danger today. The man and the jaguar looked at each other, and the atmosphere fell into tension. Chapter 232 - Jaguar In fact, many people did not know much about jaguars. After hearing its name, they would think of cheetahs most of the time. After seeing it for himself, the jaguar was much larger than the cheetah. Its nature was also more ferocious. They were definitely the third largest cats. Therefore, jaguars are also called American tigers. Their fur had patterns similar to that of cheetahs, and their bodies were muscular, so the two names were not strange. However, according to biology, jaguars were not leopards, nor were they tigers. They were an independent species of cats. Its ancestor was a long-limbed feline. Normally, the size of the jaguars would not exceed 100 kilograms. But Bell did not know how to describe his luck today. The jaguar in front of him was at least 150 kilograms. The jaguar¡¯s bite force was top-notch among all cats. Its bite force can reach 680 pounds per square inch which could easily crush the bones of its prey instantly. Bell could already feel the burning pain from the wound on his back. Blood quickly soaked his clothes. At the same time, the jaguar woke up from its chaotic state. Realizing that Bell seemed to be different from other prey, it did not continue to attack rashly. After the failed ambush and the fact that the creature in front of him was not common, it became vigilant. This gave Bell some time to prepare. Everything had happened too quickly. The audience in the live-stream could not react in time. Through the camera in the live-stream, they saw blood on the back of Bell¡¯s back, staining his clothes. Everyone became nervous, not knowing what was going on. After so many times in wilderness survival, this was the first time Bell was injured. Although everyone was talkative, they were still worried when they saw Bell injured. Moreover, his injuries did not look light. ¡°F*ck! What¡¯s going on? Bell is injured!¡± ¡°Is Bell okay? He seems to have lost a lot of blood.¡± ¡°This injury seems to be very serious!¡± ¡°Could he have encountered some danger? It was too fast to see clearly.¡± Bell knew his injuries very well. Although it looked a little bloody, it was actually just a flesh wound. The jaguar¡¯s sharp claws should have scratched his skin, but it was not a big problem. Moreover, this wound was not important. What was important was the jaguar in front of him. Bell did not dare to be distracted while facing this guy. Who knew if this guy would suddenly attack him again? The tense atmosphere made Bell not dare to take out his dagger easily. If he moved at all, this guy would pounce on him without hesitation. The sky gradually darkened, and Bell¡¯s heart sank. Once the surroundings were completely enveloped by darkness, he would really be in danger. After all, this environment was extremely beneficial to the jaguar, but it was extremely bad for him. But even so, Bell had no choice but to continue the stalemate. In this environment, staying put was the best decision for Bell. In a complicated environment like the rainforest, Bell was not as agile as the jaguar. Of course, even on the plain, the jaguar¡¯s speed could still surpass Bell¡¯s. Therefore, choosing to escape meant choosing death. The sky was getting darker. There was not much time left for Bell. In order to survive, he had already used Intimidation once. Now, he could only use Wilderness Hunter. Bell¡¯s mind was racing. He did not seem to have any other choice. He could either turn around and escape or fight to the death. If he fled, he would definitely die. On one hand, this was showing weakness to this jaguar. It would naturally treat you as prey. They would never let go of their prey. In a situation where his speed was inferior, the jaguar¡¯s pursuit ability could be said to be top-notch. If he fought to the death, he might have a chance of survival. Bell made a decision. Survival in danger. In wilderness survival, the strong preyed on the weak. As long as you can show that you are stronger than the creature, you can survive under their fangs. Although it sounded long, the decision was made in an instant. After making the decision, Bell suppressed his fear and calmed down. When a person was forced into a corner by the environment, they would unleash their greatest potential. Death was a threshold. Stepping on it was a new world. Bell¡¯s aura suddenly changed, and his killing intent boiled. The jaguar standing opposite Bell sensed this through its animal intuition. It became even more cautious. Because it sensed danger from Bell. In the entire Amazon rainforest and even the entire American continent, jaguars stood at the top of the food chain. Even large hunting animals like the green anaconda and the black caiman were just food for it. But now, facing this petite human, it actually felt threatened. This made it a little angry. ¡°The jaguar¡¯s bite force is very strong. It is the strongest among cats, with its bite force reaching 680 kilograms. 680 kilograms of strength can instantly crush the bones of animals.¡± ¡°Its hunting technique is usually to hide in tall and dense trees and suddenly attack their prey. Then, they use their powerful bite force to aim at the prey¡¯s head and bite its skull into pieces, causing a fatal blow. Remember this characteristic. I have to focus on protecting my head. ¡± Bell said slowly while thinking to himself. The audience in the live-stream couldn¡¯t help but gasp. The bite force of this jaguar was actually so terrifying. What made them even more afraid was that Bell was actually going to fight the jaguar. The live-stream exploded. Bell was only an eight-year-old child. This would probably be another big news. ¡°F*ck, what am I seeing?! Bell, don¡¯t be rash!¡± ¡°Host, you¡¯re too arrogant. Also, is this a f*cking jaguar? It feels like it¡¯s even bigger than a tiger!¡± Chapter 233 - New Golden Skill ¡°Bell, calm down. If you really can¡¯t do it, run.¡± ¡°The name of the King of the Wilderness is really not for nothing.¡± ¡°Previous poster, are you a fool? Can he run from this thing?¡± ¡°Congratulations, you have received 100 rockets from Live-stream Fan Club! Bell, be careful, we support you!¡± ¡°Congratulations, you have received 100 rockets from Deep Sea Fish! This is the first time I¡¯ve seen such a fierce host. I won¡¯t say anything else. I have sent the gifts. If there¡¯s a chance, I want to get to know you offline.¡± ¡°Congratulations, you have received 100 rockets from Night Tour Club! F*ck, let¡¯s see who still dares to say that Bell¡¯s show is pre-recorded!¡± ¡°Congratulations, you have received 1,000 rockets from Linxiao Corporation! Bell, be careful!¡± The live-stream exploded. Rockets were sent like they did not cost anything. In the end, the 1,000 rockets sent by Linxiao Corporation shocked the entire platform. It had to be known that this was a lot of real money. Now, it had actually entered the live-stream. Not to mention a thousand rockets, even one rocket could bring a lot of popularity. Bell had already received nearly three thousand rockets. Although everyone was envious, they did not dare to be jealous. After all, Bell was using his life to earn money. If they were given the choice to fight the jaguar for a thousand rockets, they would probably choose to give up this opportunity. The explosive effect of the live-stream brought Bell an upgrade. To be honest, Bell was not confident in facing this jaguar. He had no choice but to choose this method. If the attributes of the two were compared, this jaguar¡¯s four stats definitely exceeded 20. In terms of agility and strength, it might even reach 25 to 30. It could be said to be an all-round suppression of Bell¡¯s attributes. More importantly, jaguars had always lived in the forest and had much more hunting experience than him. Every jaguar would hunt at least twice a day. Over the years, various hunting techniques had already formed muscle memory. On the other hand, even though Bell had been doing wilderness survival, he was still a human. He did not rely on his strong physique but his intelligence. Therefore, if he fought this jaguar, his chances of winning were less than 30%. Moreover, this was a high estimate. Jaguars usually focused on killing with one strike. With their powerful bite, almost no creature could survive in their mouths. Life and death were often decided in an instant. Bell felt the blood in his body boil. His adrenaline surged, and his limbs were lowered, trying to maintain his center of gravity. He held the dagger at his waist to ensure that he could easily draw it whenever he wanted. The target was naturally the same as the jaguar, paying attention to killing the jaguar in one strike. Bell stopped thinking about this. The battle between him and the jaguar would only last an instant. Vision was no longer important. The rain gradually slid down Bell¡¯s forehead, and water covered his eyes. But Bell did not blink. He continued to stare at the jaguar. The jaguar was the same. The two of them were like experts exchanging blows. ¡°Now, I want to tell everyone that the second golden rule of wilderness survival is to never show your back to these beasts.¡± At this moment, Bell¡¯s tone was serious. He focused and his eyes turned cold like a beast. Bell did not look like an eight-year-old child. Instead, he looked like a veteran who had been on the battlefield for a long time. ¡°This jaguar is looking for an opportunity. Cats and other predatory animals are like this. They are very vigilant when hunting. Once they attack you, it means that they are confident. But after two consecutive failures, this jaguar is a little wary of me. It is waiting for me to show a flaw. At the same time, I am waiting for it to attack first. Don¡¯t underestimate the patience of wild beasts, especially jaguars. They will even hide in the dark and wait for a few hours for the opportunity to kill with a single strike.¡± At this moment, everyone in the live-stream held their breaths. They felt like they were there themselves. Their eyes were fixed on the screen, afraid that they would miss any scene. ¡°F*ck, I feel so nervous!¡± ¡°Why does it feel like I¡¯m looking at the jaguar myself?¡± ¡°I want to go to the toilet, but I don¡¯t dare to leave¡­¡± ¡°Are the ingredients for this round jaguar?¡± ¡°Don¡¯t joke. Don¡¯t distract the host.¡± ¡°This is not a joke.¡± Night covered the rainforest. The dark clouds in the sky blocked the starlight and darkness swallowed everything. Fortunately, the recording equipment in the live-stream had an automatic lighting function, which helped Bell a little. At the same time, the video turned on the night vision function, allowing the people in the live-stream to see the scene clearly. While observing the jaguar, Bell glanced at the live-stream. His live-stream had already reached 90 million. In just a short while, he had gained 20 million fans. Bell was overjoyed. The increase in fans meant that he could draw a lucky draw. At this critical moment, even a slight support could increase his chances of survival. Bell did not dare to be careless. He quickly called out to the system and pressed the lucky draw button. His eyes did not leave the jaguar for a moment. At such a critical moment, he had to be calm. Otherwise, if this jaguar seized the opportunity, it would immediately attack him, and it would be fatal. The system¡¯s wheel only spun for three seconds, but Bell felt that these three seconds were very long because with every second, Bell was worried that the jaguar would pounce at him from the darkness. The system¡¯s mechanical voice sounded in Bell¡¯s heart. ¡°Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining a special skill, golden skill!¡± At this moment, Bell felt that the system¡¯s cold electronic voice was extremely pleasant. It was another golden skill. A skill could turn the situation around. Golden active skill, Drum of War! After activating the skill, the target¡¯s four attributes will be reduced by 20% for five seconds. There is a 10% chance of scaring the other party and making them escape. Skill cooldown: 24 hours. ¡± As the skill level increases, the attributes debuff will increase and the cooldown will decrease. Chapter 234 - A Dagger Pierces the Heart Bell¡¯s eyes lit up. This skill came at the right time. However, just as Bell was feeling happy, the jaguar, who had been hiding in the darkness, saw that Bell¡¯s emotions seemed to fluctuate and found a flaw. Its thick hind legs suddenly exerted strength. It stomped on the ground and pounced at Bell like a bolt of lightning. The distance between the two was not far, less than five meters. To the jaguar, five meters was just a jump. Hearing the sound, Bell was shocked and immediately came to his senses. At this moment, the jaguar was already less than a meter away from him. The big guy in the air had already opened its mouth and aimed at Bell¡¯s head. Bell did not stop. He immediately activated Wilderness Hunter and Drum of War. Two skills were activated at the same time. Bell¡¯s strength immediately increased. At the same time, the jaguar¡¯s stats were reduced by 20%. The leopard paused in midair. Unfortunately, the 10% chance of intimidation effect was not triggered. The four attributes were reduced by 20% for five seconds. This was definitely a very terrifying weakening. Although the jaguar¡¯s hunting skills were highly refined, facing the sudden weakening of its condition would lead to a series of mistakes. This also caused its confident attack to deviate slightly. Unfortunately, the Intimidation skill was on cooldown. Otherwise, Bell was confident of killing it in one strike. The jaguar was two meters long and was much taller than Bell when it jumped. It bared its sharp fangs and looked down, as if it wanted to swallow Bell¡¯s head. Two strong front claws pressed on Bell¡¯s shoulders. As soon as it touched his shoulder, Bell felt a piercing pain. Similarly, Bell felt that he had underestimated the strength of this jaguar. Even though it was weakened by 20%, this guy still had such strength. In other words, this guy had at least three times the strength of an adult, which was 30 points of attributes. There was a world of difference between jaguars and cheetahs. They were much stronger. In terms of muscle strength, only the Siberian tiger could compare to it. Even ordinary African lions might not be as strong as them. In order to survive, he faced the jaguar¡¯s mouth. This dangerous feeling made his scalp tingle. Suppressing the pain in his shoulders, Bell held the dagger and lowered his head to avoid the jaguar¡¯s bloody mouth. He took the opportunity to take a step closer to the jaguar. From the camera in the live-stream, it was as if Bell had thrown himself into the arms of the jaguar. Crack! There was the sound of bones colliding. The audience in the live-stream were shocked and closed their eyes in fear. Of course, this sound was not the jaguar biting Bell¡¯s neck. Its sure-kill attack did not hit Bell. Its bloody mouth closed, but it bit nothing. Bell seized this opportunity. When he reached the jaguar¡¯s stomach, Bell used all his strength to support the 150 kilograms jaguar with his elbow. The reason why he was in this state was mainly because this posture could ensure that the jaguar¡¯s most dangerous fangs would not attack him. After all, its front limbs were not as agile as tigers. It mainly relied on its speed and hind legs to hunt. The dagger in his hand emitted a cold light in the night. Aiming at the jaguar¡¯s heart, Bell endured the pain and stabbed with all his might. Although the jaguar¡¯s fur was thick and its muscles were very hard, it could not stop Bell¡¯s dagger. Roar! The jaguar roared angrily. It was deafening. Five seconds had passed, and its weakened condition returned to normal. It pushed Bell to the side. But at this moment, Bell was no longer so flustered. He only pulled away from it. Bell was very confident that the dagger had definitely stabbed the location of its heart. Unless this guy was as ridiculous as in novels and movies, and its heart was in a different position. If that was the case, he would have nothing to say. The only thing Bell was worried about was that his dagger was not long enough. This guy was very muscular. If its heart was not pierced, he would be in trouble. Bell stared at the jaguar again. Unfortunately, this jaguar did not die immediately. Clearly, his dagger had not pierced through the jaguar¡¯s heart and killed it instantly. But even so, this jaguar could not live for long. At this moment, blood was constantly spurting out of its wound. It was definitely impossible for such an injury to recover on its own. Struggling to get up, the jaguar looked at Bell, its eyes filled with fear. No matter what, it could not understand how such a petite and thin monkey-like kid could cause such harm to it. At this moment, it was no longer in the mood to hunt. Its eyes were filled with fear as it swayed and wanted to escape into the depths of the forest. Bell smiled coldly. ¡°Hehe, now you think of running?¡± At this moment, the jaguar was no longer a threat to him, and the relationship between hunter and prey changed instantly. Holding the dagger, the man and the beast began a round of escape and pursuit. Because of the rain, the path was slippery. In addition, it was dark, so Bell did not move quickly. Fortunately, the jaguar was also seriously injured. Its heart was bleeding profusely, and with the intense actions, the bleeding increased further, and it was becoming weaker and weaker. In fact, Bell had only fought with this jaguar for a few seconds, but even so, it was extremely dangerous. If not for the fact that he had drawn the skill, Drum of War, when the jaguar¡¯s front claws hit his shoulder, it would probably have directly broken his shoulder blade and might have even shattered it. His fate might be sealed if that happened. But the situation was completely different now. He had become the hunter. Now, it was time to enjoy the joy of victory. Chapter 235 - Snatching Food From the Snake At this moment, Bell¡¯s attention was focused on the jaguar that was trying to escape. There was a moderate wound on Bell¡¯s back. In addition, his shoulder blade was probably injured to a certain extent. If he let this guy escape like this, he would suffer a huge loss. e unnecessary. The jaguar¡¯s head had already been swallowed by the green anaconda. The remaining half of its body was still squirming. Looking at the squirming esophagus, a bold idea suddenly appeared in Bell¡¯s mind. Snakes were very slow when eating large prey. It would take at least a few minutes to devour such a huge jaguar. During the devouring process, the upper jaw of the snake was completely separated from the lower jaw, and it had almost no offensive ability. If he attacked now¡­ this thought was like a seed that gradually took root in Bell¡¯s heart. Bell was unwilling to watch his spoils of war be taken away by others. Gritting his teeth, Bell¡¯s eyes turned cold again. He made a decision. Bell quickly walked up to the green anaconda. Seeing that there were other creatures nearby, the green anaconda was clearly shocked. But Bell had no intention toward this guy. Instead, he took out his dagger and began to cut the jaguar¡¯s hind leg. The devouring speed of snakes was very slow. But the speed at which they spat out the prey was very fast. This was also the result of natural selection. After all, when eating prey, snakes had no attacking ability and could easily be killed by other predators. With the evolution of nature, they finally gained this ability. Bell¡¯s sudden appearance clearly made the green anaconda feel threatened. It immediately spat out the jaguar that it had already swallowed. Bell only glanced at it and ignored it. Instead, he sped up. After the green anaconda spat out the jaguar and closed its jaw, it prepared to attack Bell. Bell had already cut off one of the jaguar¡¯s hind legs. Enduring the injuries caused by the jaguar, Bell carried the hind leg on his shoulder and quickly escaped. Seeing Bell escape, the green anaconda looked in Bell¡¯s direction and did not chase after him. Instead, it stayed and continued to swallow the jaguar. The audience in the live-stream saw Bell¡¯s actions and started commenting. ¡°The Great Bell!¡± ¡°Haha, tower steal!¡± ¡°This is really awesome!¡± ¡°Why does this scene look funny?¡± ¡°Bell, don¡¯t be a coward! Charge! Kill him! You¡¯re the most handsome guy in the Amazon rainforest today!¡± Chapter 236 - Injury Bell ran back to his shelter with the jaguar¡¯s hind leg. He climbed into the hammock and heaved a sigh of relief. Bell took off his jacket and pants and wrung out the water on them. He began to carefully check his wounds. On the left shoulder blade, there was a five-centimeter wound that almost passed through the back of Bell¡¯s neck. Fortunately, the wound was not deep. If it was too deep, it could take Bell¡¯s life. However, the injury looked a little scary. Bell¡¯s physique was not bad. His wound was no longer bleeding. If it were in a city, such superficial wounds would at most be bandaged. With his physique, it could quickly heal and form scabs. But now, Bell was in the Amazon rainforest. Such an injury was a little troublesome for him. There were many bacteria on the jaguar¡¯s claws. There were also various sources of infection in the forest. It was still raining heavily. It was very easy to be infected by the rain. These insignificant issues could very well become fatal dangers. ¡°Our current situation is not too optimistic. In the Amazon rainforest, being injured is a very troublesome thing. The probability of infection is almost 100%, and it might even cause sepsis. ¡± Bell dried his T-shirt and carefully wiped the rain from his wound. ¡°I¡¯m not trying to scare you. There have been such cases in the past. A survivalist in the Amazon rainforest accidentally fell and cut his hand. The wound was not big, only the size of a fingernail, but it was this wound that caused him to suffer sepsis. In the end, he had to ask the rescue team to end his program. ¡± ¡°I don¡¯t know if my situation will be like his. However, I need to find some plants that can remove bacteria tomorrow. Otherwise, if the wound is infected, this show can only be considered a failure.¡± Putting down the T-shirt, Bell began to check the injuries on his shoulders. The shoulder blades of the human body are wrapped in muscles, so it is not easy to damage the bones. Bell moved around and touched it a few more times. He realized the extent of his injuries. His left shoulder blade should have broken. He could not lift anything heavy for the time being. The scapula on the right side was much better. Although there was pain, it was not particularly obvious and did not affect basic movement. This relieved Bell. If both his shoulder blades were broken, he could consider this episode as over. Other than his shoulder blades and back and neck, he was not injured anywhere else. It was a blessing in disguise. After all, he had fought with a jaguar. Holding the dagger, he cut off a piece of meat from the jaguar¡¯s hind leg and stuffed it into his mouth. He chewed for a while and swallowed it. It was very difficult for people to adapt to eating raw meat for the first time. However, after recording so many episodes of Wilderness Survival, Bell was getting familiar with this feeling. Sometimes, he even felt that the taste was not bad. No matter what, it was much better than eating the maggots and insects. If there was a flaw, it might be that the raw meat was too tough, and it was a little troublesome to chew. Normally, a small piece of raw meat would take a long time to swallow. Especially since Bell had chosen the hind leg. Bell said as he chewed the raw meat. ¡°The thigh meat of the jaguar is not bad. It¡¯s better than beef. Eating raw meat has the risk of parasites. However, there¡¯s something you might not know. Raw meat is much more nutritious than cooked meat. ¡± Bell¡¯s physique was very high. Although his size was not very big, the amount of protein he consumed every day was not less than that of an adult man. In fact, it was much more. Especially in this situation when he was injured. If the cells needed to repair themselves, they would naturally consume more energy. This jaguar¡¯s hind leg weighed about 20 kilograms. Bell had already eaten half of it. Bell rubbed his cheeks. His expression was a little depressed. ¡°If I eat raw meat for a year, I think my cheeks will definitely be muscular.¡± With the humidity and temperature of the Amazon rainforest, the meat could rot in a night. Bell had no choice in this situation. Under normal circumstances, meat would deteriorate in about four hours in hot weather. What Bell could do now was to eat as much as possible. He could not eat this meat when he woke up. After a full meal, Bell rubbed his sore shoulder. With food, he felt much better. Bell carefully lay down to avoid moving too much and making his wound bleed again. On the simple hammock, Bell heaved a sigh of relief. ¡°Today is our first day in the Amazon rainforest. Our luck cannot be considered good. Moreover, this rainforest is clearly not friendly to humans. To be honest, if the wound on the back of my neck were to be even slightly deeper, this show would probably be over. Among all the survival rounds so far, this Amazon rainforest should be the greatest challenge for me. This place is filled with danger. If I am not careful, I can easily lose my life. I am already very tired today and need a good rest. If you like my live broadcast, click follow and send hearts. Then, this is it for today. I¡¯ll see you tomorrow.¡± With that, Bell closed the camera. He lay in the hammock and slowly closed his eyes. The day¡¯s activities had exhausted him. Now that he was lying down, this exhaustion enveloped his entire body like a tide. If it were in the past, Bell would have long fallen asleep. But Bell was injured. Pain kept coming from his shoulders. It made Bell unable to sleep. This contrasting feeling was very uncomfortable. Bell could only lie in the hammock obediently. In the end, exhaustion overcame the pain and he fell asleep. The night gradually fell. China, Shanghai, Discovery Channel headquarters. Li Ze was in charge of the film rights to Bell¡¯s show. His job could be said to be quite idle. His daily task was to edit Bell¡¯s live broadcast. One episode would usually last for about 40 minutes. The program¡¯s viewership ratings were very high. This also made him pay more attention to Bell. Chapter 237 - Video Editing Bell had recorded seven episodes altogether. A week ago, Li Ze had already edited them. After doing his work, he would usually make a cup of tea. He would find time to watch Bell¡¯s video. Then, he would browse various websites. This job was the dream of many people. Fortunately, Li Ze kept a low profile, so his other colleagues were not too envious. Li Ze also understood that he could get this leisurely job because of Bell. Therefore, he was very grateful to Bell. If not for the fact that he had first noticed the dark horse, Bell, in the Wilderness Survival, with his ordinary resume, he might have already been fired by his boss. On this day, Li Ze went to his office as usual. He turned on his computer and prepared to watch Bell¡¯s live broadcast. As the planner of the show, Li Ze admitted that his horizons were not low. But even so, he had never seen a guy as crazy as Bell. He stimulated everyone¡¯s vision again and again. Even some audience who did not like wilderness survival shows could not help but exclaim when they saw Bell¡¯s various exciting highlights. They could not help but look forward to Bell¡¯s performance again. Most importantly, Bell could maintain a high standard in every episode. He also shared some knowledge about the environment and creatures. It made the program interesting. Although Bell was only eight years old, Li Ze was definitely not Bell¡¯s match in terms of strength. After knowing that Bell had started streaming again, Li Ze was also looking forward to it. Before the show began, he had already made preparations. He had a feeling that this program would also be very exciting, even more so than before. The outcome was as he had expected. Just the various dangers in the forest on the first day of the broadcast made people tense up. Brazilian wandering spider, bullet ants, green anaconda, blue poison dart frog. These creatures that usually only existed in the animal and nature exploration channels appeared in Bell¡¯s live-stream. Every minute was stimulating everyone¡¯s nerves. As the day¡¯s live broadcast slowly ended, Li Ze was thinking about how to edit this program. He was a little conflicted. To be honest, the value of this program was too high. He could not bear to remove any moments. But because of the duration of the show, he could not stuff it all in. For the first time, Li Ze felt that editing a good program was so painful. Just as he was considering whether he should divide Bell¡¯s show into multiple parts, the scene in the live-stream suddenly changed. Looking at the scene on the screen, Li Ze¡¯s hand trembled and he almost dropped the cup of hot water on himself. The muscular jaguar appeared on the screen. Seeing this, Li Ze was worried for Bell. However, the outcome was unexpected. Even with his age and size, Bell had actually successfully killed the jaguar. This could be considered a miracle. After confirming that Bell was fine, Li Ze was relieved. At the same time, he expected that after this incident, the viewership ratings of this program would definitely increase greatly. Not to mention anything else, just the scene of Bell fighting the jaguar, although Li Ze was not there, he felt like he was there himself, and his blood was boiling. The battle between man and beast seemed to have returned to its primitive state. What could arouse a man¡¯s passion more than this? Although it was only for a few seconds, this scene could already be made into the main highlight. ¡°This is too crazy, too crazy! Is¡­ is this guy really a human?! He¡¯s simply a monster! ¡± Not only did Bell kill the jaguar, but he also snatched his spoils of war from a green anaconda. Li Ze felt his adrenaline surge. Looking at the scene on the screen, he forgot what he was doing. It was not until Bell closed the live-stream that Li Ze reacted. This live broadcast was too shocking. Li Ze did not want to cut even a second of it. It could be said that every minute and second was worth looking forward to. The entire day¡¯s recording time was reduced to 40 minutes. This was very painful for Li Ze. After hesitating for a long time, he finally made a decision. He wanted to turn Bell¡¯s program today into a wonderful special episode. Each day¡¯s stream could be edited into three episodes. This could not only preserve the effect of the program, but also increase the viewership ratings. Li Ze was still very excited. Suddenly, an idea popped up in his mind. Perhaps he could edit all the exciting and dangerous scenes of Bell¡¯s previous programs into a montage. Just as this thought appeared, he could not suppress it anymore. Time passed slowly, leaving Li Ze alone in the huge office. Although his work schedule was not demanding, Li Ze¡¯s professional skills and vision were not inferior to others. He was even slightly better. Otherwise, he would not have discovered the dark horse, Bell. In just an hour, a ten-minute montage was completed. He uploaded the edited video online. Li Ze felt that he could use this video as an advertisement for the Discovery Channel to promote Bell¡¯s show. The speed of the Internet should not be underestimated. As the production team of the Discovery Channel, Li Ze had many channels. Moreover, he was confident that this program was definitely going to be very exciting. Just the opening was Bell¡¯s shocking leap of faith. It was that jump that allowed Bell to obtain the title of the King of the Wilderness. Any normal man would definitely feel an adrenaline rush after watching this editing. In the video, Li Ze added some subtitles. He put an advertisement for the show. This would lead to the traffic to the Discovery Channel. Confirm upload. Li Ze began to look forward to it. In the Amazon rainforest, morning slowly fell. The sunlight shone through the leaves and landed on Bell¡¯s face. The air after the rain was refreshing. The rainforest was not noisy like the big cities, but there was never a lack of cries and calls of insects and birds. It was filled with vitality. Bell slowly opened his eyes in the hammock. He sat up and was about to shake his head to clear his mind. But thinking of the injuries on his back, he could only give up on this idea. After sitting for a while, he finally recovered. Chapter 238 - Injury Worsens Bell woke up with heavy eye bags. It was mainly because Bell had not rested well last night. The pain in his shoulder kept him in a semi-conscious state. Moreover, it was raining heavily last night. Through the leaves on his head, the sunlight today seemed to be a little dazzling. It seemed like the weather was good. He gently touched the wound on his back. Bell found that the wound on his back had scabbed over. His shoulders could also move slightly. However, he could not use much strength with the seriously injured side yet. Bone fractures were not a light matter, but they were not too serious either. The body will absorb the nutrients and calcium in the food to repair itself. The situation seemed to be developing in a good direction. When he fell asleep last night, Bell was worried that his wound would rot in the humidity of the Amazon rainforest. Fortunately, his physique was good and his cells were active. He had successfully passed this issue. Of course, he could not let down his guard. There were a lot of bacteria on the jaguar¡¯s claws. He was not able to adopt any disinfection measures last night. Although the wound had scabbed, the bacteria under the scabs might reproduce crazily. Therefore, he had to pay special attention to whether there were any plants that could reduce inflammation and kill bacteria. Bell had the plant encyclopedia skill in his mind, so he knew a lot about plants. He looked at the remaining hind leg meat of the jaguar that he had left hanging by his side last night. The meat was already turning white, and many flies were flying around it. It had clearly spoiled. He jumped out of the hammock and opened the live-stream again. As the live-stream turned on, a large number of viewers quickly rushed in. These people were punctual. This time, Bell noticed that there were clearly more audience members in his live-stream than before. After thinking carefully, Bell understood. He had made a thrilling move last night. In addition, there were a large number of fans in the live-stream who had sent gifts, and he had received thousands of rockets. If he could not attract some people, those rockets would have been in vain. Moreover, such a thrilling thing could not be seen in ordinary places. It was natural to gain many fans. Therefore, although the live broadcast had just begun, Bell¡¯s audience was already in the tens of millions. This was definitely something that streamers of the same level could not compare to. He moved his sore back and looked at the camera. ¡°Good morning, everyone. Today is the second day since we came to the Amazon rainforest. We experienced a lot yesterday, and I didn¡¯t have a good rest last night. The injury on my back and shoulder made it difficult for me to sleep. Fortunately, the situation has improved. We have to set a small goal for ourselves today. Find a high ground and plan the survival route. ¡± The Amazon rainforest itself was a basin, and most areas were relatively flat. The high ground that Bell was looking for was not like the previous high mountains. It was just a place with a better vision. It could be a tall tree or something else. Of course, that was before. With Bell¡¯s current condition, it was extremely difficult to climb up a tree that was fifty to sixty meters tall. Carrying his backpack, Bell adjusted his mental state. ¡°Alright, let¡¯s set off!¡± The sun gradually rose. The temperature in the rainforest had clearly increased. The rain from last night evaporated under the high temperature and the hot air filled the entire rainforest. Bell felt like he had returned to the environment of the steamer yesterday. After a while, his forehead was covered in sweat. Seeing a leaf with some rain on it, Bell plucked it and ate it. ¡°This environment is very annoying. Although I¡¯m injured, I¡¯m still looking forward to the rain. Because that would feel more comfortable. But the wound has to be kept dry. If I get drenched in the rain for another day, my wound will definitely fester.¡± Bell looked around. There was dense vegetation all around, and green filled his entire vision. Every tree looked similar. ¡°In this rainforest environment, it¡¯s easy to get lost. In addition, it is difficult to make progress on the ground. Once a newbie enters the rainforest, there is a high chance of them going in circles. If you encounter this situation, let me teach you a method. If you have a rope, place it behind you and move along. If there are no ropes, you can use vines. It is better if the rope is long, about five meters is good. While moving, you can look back to see if the rope is still in a straight line. If it is still in a straight line, it means that your direction is correct. If it¡¯s not, it means that you are already moving randomly.¡± Bell explained to the audience in the live-stream. After resting for a while, Bell continued moving. Walking through this slippery rainforest, Bell¡¯s stamina was quickly exhausted. But the speed was very slow. In this dangerous environment, Bell had to be in a highly guarded state. Something could appear at any time. Therefore, although he had walked for an hour, Bell had walked less than 500 meters. At this moment, Bell acutely sensed that the injury on the back of his neck was itchy. This was not good news. Under normal circumstances, the wound would itch, and it might regenerate and slowly heal. However, this usually happened a few days later. Normally, people¡¯s wounds would heal in three steps. The first step was to stop the bleeding. The blood platelets in the human body would quickly stop the bleeding. The second step was to condense the white blood cells into scabs. It can prevent bacteria from entering the human body. The third step was the healing stage. Muscle tissue and nerve vessels began to grow again. At this stage, the wound would also itch. This stage usually lasted for about a week, but the specific time depended on the person¡¯s physique. But Bell had just been injured yesterday. No matter how good his physique was, it was impossible for him to start healing overnight. Therefore, the only explanation was that his wound had been infected by bacteria. The cells in his body were trying their best to eliminate these bacteria, which caused his wound to itch. Thinking of this, Bell immediately decided to change his plan. He had planned to find a high ground to plan the route. But now, he had to find some plants that could reduce inflammation and kill bacteria. Chapter 239 - Wild Aloe Vera ¡°I have bad news. I feel that my wound is inflamed. I have to treat it in time. Otherwise, it will quickly fester and even cause sepsis. We have to find a plant that can reduce inflammation.¡± Bell pointed at the green plants beside him. ¡°In the Amazon rainforest, there are as many as 80,000 species of plants. Many of them are rare herbs that can help us survive. Of course, the prerequisite is that you have to recognize these plants. ¡± ¡°There are too many plants here. There are even some species that have yet to be studied. Therefore, you have to have rich knowledge to distinguish them. This is also a vital skill for a survivalist. Otherwise, if you use the wrong plants, they can kill you. ¡± As he spoke, Bell walked to a tree about six meters tall. This tree had very lush leaves and looked full of vitality. Of course, this was not what really attracted Bell¡¯s attention. What really attracted his attention were fruits the size of a baby¡¯s fist at the end of the tree branches. The green fruit looked full and delicious. Bell went forward and picked a fruit, but he did not eat it directly. Instead, he placed it in front of the camera and said. ¡°In this rainforest, if you are hungry and see trees with fruits, you will probably eat them happily. But if you really do that, your relatives will be eating your funeral banquet.¡± Bell pried open the fruit and held it in his hand, trying his best not to touch the juice. ¡°This tree is called manchineel. After Columbus arrived in America, a crew member accidentally ate this manchineel fruit and died on the spot. Seeing this, Columbus called it the apple of death. The manchineel is actually one of the most toxic trees. As long as you take a small bite of the fruit, you will have to be admitted to the emergency room. ¡± With that, Bell threw the fruit to the side and pointed at the unplucked green fruits on the tree. ¡°Actually, when you see these unknown fruits in the wild, there is a way to tell if these fruits can be eaten. It is to observe if there are any traces of these fruits being pecked by birds. Generally speaking, we can eat fruits that have been pecked by birds. Although some of them might be poisonous, it would not be very strong. There are also monkeys in the Amazon rainforest. They live here and mostly eat fruits. Monkey¡¯s digestive system is similar to ours, so we can follow them to find food. We can eat what they eat without worry.¡± ¡°Also, observe the color of these fruits. Sometimes, plants and animals are similar. The brighter they are, the more dangerous they are. This is also a self-protection ability evolved from natural selection. There are many birds and monkeys in the rainforest. Only this tree has a lot of fruits with no signs of them being plucked or pecked. With a little deduction, we can tell its edibility. ¡± Hearing Bell¡¯s explanation, the audience in the live-stream looked at the green fruits on the tree. ¡°It¡¯s so dangerous outside. I¡¯d better stay at home.¡± ¡°Bell¡¯s knowledge reserve is really shocking.¡± ¡°As expected, people don¡¯t die if they don¡¯t court death. Nothing will happen at home.¡± Bell looked at the comments in the live-stream and shook his head with a smile. After leaving the tree, Bell continued to search the dense rainforest. Logically speaking, plants that could clear heat had some antiseptic effect. However, the antiseptic effect differed in intensity. For example, mint also had an antiseptic effect, but the effect was minimal. The air in the rainforest was extremely hot, and Bell felt uncomfortable all over. It felt like he was in a sauna. Bell felt dizzy looking at the lush vegetation on the ground. But he still had to search hard. At this moment, Bell¡¯s eyes lit up and he quickly walked forward. In an open space ahead, an aloe vera was growing on the ground. He walked over and bent down to take a look. ¡°This is an aloe vera. I¡¯ve introduced some effects of it in the desert episode before. In the natural world, aloe vera has a very strong antibacterial effect. Moreover, the aloe vera can stimulate the healing of the wound. Whether it¡¯s eating it or applying it, both work very well. ¡± At this point, Bell paused. ¡°But this is not something we can just take at face value. There are more than 300 species of aloe vera on Earth alone. There are only five types of aloe vera that can be eaten with ease and has medicinal value. The rest are poisonous plants. Once these poisonous aloe vera juice touches the skin, it will cause the skin to rot. If you swallow them, your stomach can ulcerate, and you might even suffer from cancer. ¡± ¡°As for how to identify whether the aloe vera is poisonous, we mainly have to observe their leaves. Poisonous aloe vera often have shorter leaves and are thicker than the edible species. After meeting these conditions, you can try to cut the leaves. If there is milky white liquid inside, this is poisonous aloe vera. ¡± As he spoke, Bell had already cut off the aloe vera. A smile appeared on Bell¡¯s face. ¡°Our luck has finally improved. This is a non-poisonous aloe vera, and it¡¯s the best anti-inflammatory as well as antibacterial aloe vera. We can apply this aloe vera to the wound. ¡± Bell cut off a leaf and removed the skin, leaving only the tender flesh. Bell took a bite and chewed. ¡°The taste seems to be good. There¡¯s nothing strange about it. It¡¯s sticky and a little sweet. Moreover, there is a fragrance. ¡± The entire leaf was quickly eaten. Bell stopped eating. He cut off another piece and cut the middle into thin slices to apply to his wound. Of course, before doing this, Bell tore off the scabs on the surface of his wound. There was no need to mention the pain. After applying it to the wound, a cool feeling spread. Bell tore off a piece of cloth from under his T-shirt and bandaged the wound. After doing all this, Bell stood up. Bell heaved a sigh of relief after putting the remaining aloe vera leaves in his backpack. ¡°The effect is very good, and the itchy feeling on the wound is already fading. Moreover, the coolness from the aloe makes me feel very comfortable.¡± 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. Chapter 241 - Good Luck, Red Bell was surprised to see this. He did not expect the butterflies to approach him. After careful observation, Bell realized that the two butterflies were sucking his sweat. Bell zoomed in. ¡°Can you see this? These bright goddess butterflies are drinking my sweat. The Amazon rainforest itself is a place that lacks salt. Butterflies also need to replenish their salt. Many times, they fly to a turtle¡¯s head to drink its tears. The turtle¡¯s tears contain salt and minerals. ¡± At this point, Bell was stunned for a moment. He seemed to have thought of something and looked at the place where the two butterflies had stopped. The two bright goddess butterflies were shocked and quickly flew away. Bell ignored them and looked at a dead branch. A brown tortoise head gradually appeared on the dead leaf. No wonder the two bright goddess butterflies had been staying here. Bell¡¯s eyes and thoughts were attracted to the shining bright goddess butterflies, so he was not able to notice it. Fortunately, it was not too late. This should be a tortoise. Normally, tortoises were not as active as sea turtles. Most of the time, they would stay in one place for many days without moving. The skin color of the tortoise blended perfectly with the surrounding dead leaves. Even Bell did not notice this exquisite disguise. If not for these two butterflies, he would not have known even if he walked over. The tortoise did not make any movement even when seeing Bell approach it. This tortoise was very confident in its disguise. Bell bent down and grabbed the tortoise¡¯s shell, lifting it out. This tortoise was not big, only about 30 centimeters, but it looked very thick. He observed the patterns on the tortoise¡¯s back and limbs. ¡°Look, this is a red-footed tortoise. There are red spots on its legs, which is the reason for its name. This type of tortoise usually eats fallen fruits. They also feed on some rotten meat. However, this guy is not too lucky because he is going to be my food. ¡± As if sensing that it was in danger, the red-footed tortoise retracted its head and limbs into its shell. But Bell did not plan to let it go. He took out the dagger from his waist and stabbed it into its head. The fatal blow killed the tortoise without letting it suffer much pain. Putting away the dagger, Bell raised the red-footed tortoise and opened his mouth, drinking the blood that flowed out. A red-footed tortoise did not have much blood. The flowing blood stopped very fast. ¡°The taste is not good. If not for the fact that it can replenish salt and minerals, I probably would not have drank this.¡± Tortoise meat was high in quality and fat. It could be said to be a great food in the wilderness. However, a tortoise usually stayed in one place and did not move. They also carried many parasites on their body. Therefore, Bell felt that it was better to cook it first. He stuffed the dead red-footed tortoise into his backpack and set off again. It was not raining today, and Bell hoped it would not rain. Otherwise, his wound would be drenched again. Perhaps because the two bright goddess butterflies brought him luck, Bell found a small bamboo forest not long after. This made Bell overjoyed. He quickly walked forward and knocked the bamboo with his dagger. After some probing, he finally heard a muffled sound from a bamboo. Those who had watched Bell¡¯s streams knew what was going on. Bell cut a hole in the bamboo, and clear water surged out. Bell quickly went forward and drank the water. This bamboo was very thick and contained a lot of water. After drinking the water, Bell breathed in relief. ¡°This feels really good. Perhaps I have become lucky because I saw those two bright goddess butterflies. Now, there is food and water. ¡± In the Amazon rainforest, bamboo usually did not grow tall. The main reason was that they grew under tall trees and could not receive enough sunlight every day. However, there was enough water here for them to grow. The excess water was stored in the bamboo. It was for the dry season. Bell put down his backpack and began to collect the dried bamboo on the ground. Soon, more than ten bamboos were gathered in front of Bell. Bell cut the bamboo to the length of an arm. ¡°I remember telling everyone in Australia that bamboo is the most valuable plant to survivalists in the wilderness. In this environment, only plants like bamboo can help us start a fire. Looks like we will be able to eat hot food soon. But we have to be fast because this is the rainforest after all. Who knows when it will rain. We have to cook this red-footed tortoise and eat it before it rains.¡± During the rainy season, it was a great blessing to be able to eat hot food in the tropical rainforest. Bell was in a good mood, and his actions were much faster. He kept waving the dagger in his hand, and the bamboo sticks were thrown to the ground. Soon, a good amount of bamboo shavings and sticks were gathered. He stepped on half a bamboo plank and quickly used the bowstring method to make a fire. The efficiency was very high. After a while, the black smoke had already squeezed out of the groove. Seeing this, Bell stopped and gathered the bamboo dust and shavings, carefully blowing on it. ¡°You have to do it slowly. There is too much humidity here. It will only take a short while for the fire materials to become wet. At that time, it will be even more difficult to start a fire.¡± Bell did not stop while talking. Thick smoke rose from the shavings, and Bell choked until tears flowed out of his eyes. Fortunately, his effort paid off. The fire became stable and continued to grow strong. Seeing this, Bell was finally relieved. He quickly took out the red-footed tortoise and placed it on the fire. The thick tortoise shell could prevent the meat from being burnt. He only had to wait for half an hour or so before it was cooked. Sitting beside the fire, Bell added a few bamboo sticks from time to time. He was very satisfied. Chapter 242 - Locating High Ground 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. 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. Chapter 243 - Climbing, Amazon River The tree beside the tree that Bell had chosen was not that tall. It was not easy to climb either. But Bell looked at the tree and smiled in satisfaction. Because there were many vines on the straight tree trunk that reached the top of the tree. This was simply the best ladder. Bell quickly walked forward and pulled apart the branches and leaves, looking at the vines that were as thick as an arm. ¡°Haha, these vines really chose a great place to grow. We just have to climb up these vines and jump onto that tree. It will be much easier after the first ten meters. ¡± The vines were very thick and were firmly attached to the tree. Bell shook it hard and realized that he could not move it. He weighed less than 50 kilograms. It seemed like these vines were indeed tough. He climbed up the vine. Because his shoulders were injured, Bell did not dare to use too much strength. He relied on the strength of his arms and the muscles of his legs to push himself up bit by bit. Standing on the branch, Bell heaved a sigh of relief. As long as he passed the first part, the rest would be much easier. There were many places to grab in this dense tree. Bell was like an agile monkey, easily jumping onto the 50-meter-tall tree. Then, he climbed another ten minutes and arrived near the top of the tree. Looking around, Bell saw mostly lush trees. After all, he was in a tropical rainforest. It was normal to have many trees. In the green forest, a winding river separated the green forests like a ribbon. It was the Amazon River. Bell looked up at the sun and determined his location. Standing on the tree, he calculated in his heart and pointed to the southeast. ¡°That should be Manaus City. It should be about 130 kilometers away from us. If we use the river, it should only take two days to return to the civilized world. But now that the Amazon rainforest is in the rainy season, the water level of the Amazon River is rising, and there is the possibility of a flood at any time. We can¡¯t take this risk.¡± ¡°The only way now is to cross the tropical rainforest. In that case, our journey will be slower. However, compared to the flood and terrifying monsters in the Amazon River, I¡¯m still more willing to travel in the rainforest. ¡± Then, Bell pointed behind him. ¡°I can¡¯t go in that direction again, or I will just enter deeper in the Amazon rainforest. In the north is Guiana Highlands in the North. The Andes is in the West. Therefore, I have to return to Manaus from here. ¡± Although he had passed through the forest, Bell still had to cross the river many times. Because the Amazon River was not a straight line, but a winding river in the tropical rainforest, crossing it was inevitable. After confirming the route, Bell walked down from the tree. Compared to climbing the tree, the speed of going down was much faster. Bell did not jump down from the tree. Instead, he grabbed a smooth vine and slid down from the tree. Sliding down from a ten-meter-tall tree was a completely different experience from jumping down from a tree. The friction between his body and the tree branches could offset this acceleration. It was like jumping down from a height of three to four meters. In addition, the fallen leaves on the ground cushioned the impact of the fall. Bell shook his hand and got up from the ground. He smiled and said, ¡°It feels like I¡¯m sliding down the stairs. If only I had a pair of gloves.¡± ¡°Alright, we have to hurry. Every day we stay here is another danger.¡± Bell answered the questions for the audience in the live-stream. ¡°Many friends know about the Amazon rainforest from the movies. But I want to tell everyone here that the knowledge from movies is not completely correct. For example, piranhas. In the movies, when a person falls into the water, the piranhas will bite and eat them until only their bones are left. But under normal circumstances, when there is enough food, the piranhas will not attack humans. Moreover, the number of piranhas in a group is usually 30 to 50. Piranhas are very timid. In their infancy, they feed on aquatic plants. ¡± Bell climbed over a fallen tree and continued, ¡°They only attack humans when food is scarce. The horror of piranhas in reality is far inferior to what they are portrayed in movies. It is impossible for just 30 or so piranhas to eat a person in a few seconds. In fact, there has been no death caused by piranhas attacking humans. ¡± In the movie, some animals¡¯ ferocity would be exaggerated to create the movie atmosphere and attract the viewers. This made many people have the wrong knowledge of them. Even the most ferocious piranhas could not kill a person in a minute. At most, they would suffer some flesh wounds. When encountering these fish in the wild, the terrifying thing was that once you were bitten, you might be infected. The people in the live-stream also reacted. After so many live broadcasts, they were convinced by Bell¡¯s knowledge. So far, there had been no mistakes in his knowledge. At this moment, the light in the forest suddenly dimmed. Bell looked up and saw that the dark clouds had already enveloped him. The sky was clear one second, but the next second, it was covered in dark clouds. Before long, the rain poured down through the leaves. Bell covered his head with his waterproof backpack to prevent his wound from being wet by the rain again. The sky gradually darkened, and Bell looked around for a suitable place to build a shelter. Bell¡¯s luck today was indeed good. Perhaps it was because of the two butterflies that his luck changed. Soon, Bell found a tree hole. It was a huge banyan tree with thick branches. The roots underground rose from the ground and formed a strange cave. Bell quickly entered the tree hole to avoid the rain. The space inside was very large, and it could be seen as a natural shelter. There was some moss and some common plants in the tree hole. Bell looked around and smiled. ¡°This is a good shelter. However, we can¡¯t rest here. We have to build a shelter above ground. I¡¯m not the only guest in this tree hole. There are also many terrifying little things. ¡± 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. ¡± 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. Chapter 246 - The Wonderful Use of Rotenone The heat produced by the 800V was not enough to directly cook this eel. If there was more firepower, Bell might really be able to eat roasted eel meat. The light in the rainforest was getting dimmer. The surrounding environment seemed to be swallowed by darkness at any time. Wiping the rain from his face, Bell stood up. However, he did not choose to return to his shelter. Instead, he walked to the pool and smeared the mud mixed with rotenone on his body. Seeing Bell¡¯s actions, the audience in the live-stream were puzzled, not knowing what Bell was doing. Bell explained. ¡°There are many insects living in our tree hole shelter. I don¡¯t want these things to climb into my bed in the middle of the night. Actually, I¡¯m quite afraid of insects. If you are lucky enough to come to the Amazon rainforest, I can guarantee that the one you will remember the most is not the jaguar or the green anaconda. The ones that will leave the deepest impression on you are definitely the spiders, centipedes, and other insects. Mosquitoes are everywhere here. Actually, we are quite lucky because it is the rainy season. Therefore, there are fewer mosquitoes. In the dry season, be it day or night, you can hear the buzzing of mosquitoes at any time. Because of the rain, the mosquitoes are not particularly active. However, the tree hole is a shelter from the rain. Mosquitoes like to stay in these places. ¡± ¡°If I stay in that tree hole without preparing anything, I will definitely have another sleepless night. In fact, I haven¡¯t finished explaining the use of rotenone. In addition to being able to poison fish, it can also kill insects. As long as we smear this mud on our bodies, we can have a good sleep tonight. ¡± Bell said as he smeared it on his bare skin. Rotenone was not poisonous to mammals. Therefore, Bell was not worried that this thing would poison him. After covering his bare skin with this thing, Bell was relieved. He returned to the shelter with his spoils of war. When Bell returned to the shelter, the tropical rainforest was already immersed in darkness. Bell sat on the wooden bed he had built and used the light from the live broadcast equipment to deal with the electric eel. ¡°I believe many people heard the buzzing sound of mosquitoes here. But it¡¯s okay, they don¡¯t dare to get too close to me, because the smell of rotenone makes them feel uncomfortable and uneasy. To these mosquitoes, rotenone is poison. ¡± The eel in Bell¡¯s hand was more than 30 centimeters long and was as thick as an adult¡¯s forearm. Even without the head, there was still a lot of meat to eat. He cut off a thick piece of fish meat and chewed it. Bell narrowed his eyes. ¡°I have to say, the meat of the electric eel is quite delicious. It is no wonder that the local natives would go to such effort to capture them. The meat of these guys is firm, a little like salmon, and it does not not have a fishy taste. Instead, it tastes a bit sweet. ¡± As he spoke, Bell stuffed another piece of eel meat into his mouth. This should be the best fish meat he had eaten so far. The audience in the live-stream was very surprised. If they remembered correctly, Bell had expressed more than once that he did not like to eat fish. Especially the freshwater fish meat. They did not expect him to make an exception today. ¡°F*ck, this doesn¡¯t make sense. Didn¡¯t Bell say that he doesn¡¯t like to eat fish?¡± ¡°It¡¯s over, it¡¯s over. Bell is already desperate.¡± ¡°Do you think this guy might be lying to us?¡± ¡°Yes, it¡¯s indeed possible. This might be a trap. Everyone, you have to be careful. It¡¯s like chicken soup.¡± ¡°Haha, I think Bell is still numb due to the electrocution. He¡¯s not completely awake yet.¡± ¡°Have any of you eaten electric eel? Come out and explain if this thing is really delicious.¡± ¡°I¡¯ve eaten it. Let me tell you, it¡¯s crispy and crunchy like chicken.¡± ¡°No, no, Bell must be deceiving himself and us. This thing doesn¡¯t look delicious.¡± ¡°Your worries are completely unnecessary. Can Bell be like us?¡± While eating the eel meat, Bell glanced at the comments in the live-stream and rolled his eyes. These guys were really something. It was rare for him to enjoy delicious food. He could not be bothered with these trolls and enjoyed the meat in his hand. The meat itself did not have much fat, and it was mostly proteins. Moreover, Bell rarely tasted such delicious freshwater fish. He sat on his wooden bed and kept eating the electric eel meat. Other than the buzzing of mosquitoes, there was only the sound of Bell chewing. Soon, the thirty-centimeter electric eel was completely devoured. Looking at the remains of the electric eel, Bell seemed to be unsatisfied. Unfortunately, this was the end. He cleaned up the electric eel¡¯s head and internal organs and threw them far away. After eating, Bell lay on the wooden bed and looked at the camera with a smile. ¡°Alright, everyone, today¡¯s experience is not bad. To be honest, I have never been so lucky since I began streaming. We didn¡¯t encounter any danger and easily found food and water. ¡± At this point, Bell¡¯s tone changed. ¡°But I also said before that wilderness survival has a lot to do with luck. But a person cannot be so lucky forever. Even if we are being taken care of by the Goddess of Luck, we will still encounter danger. I remember that there was a survivalist named Ramos who was really lucky. But in the end, because he was too confident in his luck, he died in a wilderness exploration. Therefore, I trust in skills and knowledge more.¡± The heavy rain in the rainforest kept falling, pattering on the leaves of the trees. There seemed to be a trace of pattern to it, and it was not as messy as one would imagine. In this rainforest, be it day or night, one could always feel the vitality. Of course, there was also that fatal danger mixed within it. Because of the rotenone, the mosquitoes in the tree hole did not dare to approach Bell. Chapter 247 - The Treasure Hidden in the Forest But the mosquitoes that kept buzzing made Bell very annoyed. It did not seem to be easy to fall asleep. Bell began to chat with everyone. ¡°The Amazon rainforest can be said to be one of the most dangerous wilderness spots in the world. Over the centuries, many people have tried to explore this mysterious rainforest. The reason is a legend of a treasure. The Golden City, El Dorado. Rumor has it that this city is hidden in this dangerous rainforest. But so far, no one has discovered it. According to the analysis of historians, the total value of the treasures in El Dorado should be between 3 to 5 billion USD. In the 18th century, a large exploration team of 700 people had entered the Amazon rainforest in an attempt to find this treasure. However, the outcome was not satisfactory. In the end, nearly half of the 700 people were buried in this rainforest. Sepsis as well as attacks from various wild beasts and toxic insects tortured them. In the end, they could only leave this forbidden zone and return to Europe. Even now, there are still many people who want to try their luck here every year. They try to find the treasure, but the result is no exception. All of them return empty-handed, and those with worse luck even lose their lives. ¡± The eyes of the audience in the live-stream lit up when they heard Bell say that there was actually a treasure worth five billion USD buried here. This was a really huge amount. As long as they could find the city, they would not have to worry about money for the rest of their lives. ¡°5 billion is equivalent to more than 30 billion RMB. We will instantly become one of the richest people in the world.¡± ¡°I will hug my potato chips and cola, and fantasize quietly.¡± ¡°Bell, do you still lack disciples? I want to learn about exploration too.¡± ¡°Previous poster, stop pretending. Do you think I don¡¯t know where you want to explore? You¡¯re greedy for the treasure.¡± ¡°I¡¯ll be honest. I¡¯m not pretending. I just want to find the treasure.¡± ¡°Hahaha, everyone, just think about it.¡± Exploration and sightseeing were fundamentally different. This was definitely a technical job. Becoming a qualified explorer was not easier than becoming a scientist. Because most of the time, the research field focused on one subject, while exploration included various miscellaneous fields. A good explorer had to have knowledge of history, biology, medicine, geography, and archaeology. Just having a strong physique was definitely not enough. And with just survival skills, even if they really found something valuable, they probably would not be able to recognize it. It would only be thrown away like broken tiles. Moreover, with the development of society, many treasures that had been buried for a long time had been discovered. As for the treasures that had yet to be excavated, they were either hidden very mysteriously or were just rumors. For example, Li Mo¡¯s exploration team had already found three treasures, but the returns were indeed far inferior to the investment. After all, the cost of each exploration was extremely expensive. It could range from hundreds of thousands to millions. It was very difficult for an exploration team to maintain themselves for a long time. If they failed two times in a row, this exploration team would be in danger of being disbanded. Moreover, most of the exploration teams were funded by entrepreneurs or rich people. They provided funds for the sake of generous returns. With such a mentality, they usually had to consider the benefits. It also deviated from the original intention of the exploration. Bell was not willing to be such an explorer. On one hand, it was because he did not like that kind of restraint. On the other hand, he knew his ability. He was not at that level yet. Whether it was attribute points or various skills, there was still a lot of space for growth. There was still a long way to go. Why be anxious? Bell chatted with the audience in the live-stream. Unknowingly, he fell asleep. He even forgot to turn off the live-stream. Fortunately, Bell slept soundly that night. He also woke up naturally. The full sleep was indeed very refreshing. Moreover, the effect of the rotenone was indeed good. There was no trace of mosquito bites on him. It seemed like the mosquitoes stayed far away from him. He stood up and stretched, shaking his head. His mind gradually recovered. He removed the gauze on his body and touched the wound. He realized that the wound had already scabbed over. The injuries on his shoulders were much better than yesterday. The rain in the rainforest still had no intention of stopping. He caught some rain and washed his face, feeling refreshed. Bell looked back at the camera. ¡°Everyone, the new day is here. We had a good rest yesterday. It¡¯s time to set off.¡± Carrying his backpack, Bell ignored the rain and plunged into the rainforest again. Sometimes, rain was not necessarily a bad thing. At least for now, it could bring Bell some fresh water. At the same time, it could make the environment cooler. Walking through the rainforest, Bell began to calculate his journey today. Yesterday, he climbed to the high ground and observed the route. He would have to cross a vast swamp area today. Moreover, he had to cross the river. This was a very difficult task. It was the rainy season in the Amazon rainforest, and the creatures in the river were extremely active. The danger there was not lower than in the forest. Most importantly, it was not convenient for Bell to do much in the water. Without the land advantage, the difficulty was doubled. ¡°We need to cross the river today. Thinking of this, I am a little nervous. There are many dangerous creatures in the Amazon River. And some are very evil. ¡± At this point, Bell smiled evilly. ¡°For example, vandellia and pacu fish.¡± ¡°I¡¯ve already introduced the vandellia to everyone. I believe everyone should have some understanding of this thing now. Then let¡¯s talk about pacu fish. Pacu fish are related to piranha, but their teeth are not as sharp. Their teeth are more like a human¡¯s. However, these guys are different from humans. They are not overly aggressive, but can attack humans on their own initiative, focusing on their weak area. ¡± The audience in the live-stream had a bad feeling when they heard Bell. Chapter 248 - Pacu Fish To be able to make Bell use it as a metaphor with the vandellia, this fish might have an evil side too. In fact, it was as everyone had expected. Many men in the live-stream subconsciously covered their lower bodies. However, even though the audience in the live-stream looked like this, Bell was still not done speaking. ¡°Pacu fish like to bite people, and they especially like that position of men. This often happens in the Amazon basin. The local natives often call them demons in the water. Just last year, a Mexican fisherman was attacked by Pacu fish. If I am not wrong, his testicles had been bitten off. In the end, he died from excessive blood loss. If the vandellia is an evil creature, there doesn¡¯t seem to be anything wrong with calling Pacu fish a demon.¡± Bell had a wicked smile on his face. The audience in the live-stream, especially the male audience, gasped. Good lord, this was really a demon. ¡°F*ck, stop talking. It¡¯s already hurting.¡± ¡°What is this thing? It¡¯s so evil.¡± ¡°I swear that I will never go to the Amazon rainforest.¡± ¡°Sometimes, being a woman seems to be good.¡± ¡°Weakness exploit.¡± ¡°Pacu fish: Look at me!¡± ¡°I admire the natives very much.¡± ¡°Bell, you¡¯re still young. You have to be careful.¡± ¡°This is a true eunuch maker!¡± Walking on the muddy ground, Bell realized that the trees ahead of him seemed to have thinned. It seemed like that area of swamp was not far ahead. The audience in the live-stream was still immersed in the fear of pacu fish. ¡°Alright, don¡¯t worry too much. Normally, the local natives will use hard objects like coconut shells to protect important parts when crossing the river. This way, they can prevent the attacks of pacu fish and vandellia to a certain extent. In fact, the probability of being penetrated by vandellia in the Amazon River is very low. Most of them choose to parasitize fish. Of course, if you insist on seeking death and try to excrete in the water, no one can save you.¡± Vandellia were very sensitive to human urine. They could even sense it from hundreds of meters away. At that time, it would definitely enter the human urinary tract. After walking for a while, Bell finally walked out of the rainforest. In front of him were dense weeds. These weeds were very lush and were as tall as a person. Bell¡¯s vision was severely blocked. The vision range was less than a meter. The swamp in front of Bell was three to four kilometers in diameter, much larger than expected. Rubbing his head, Bell probed the swamp and frowned. ¡°The size of this swamp is a little beyond my expectations. Crossing the swamp requires a lot of stamina, but this is not the most dangerous. The dangerous thing is the creatures living in the swamp. For example, electric eels, green anaconda, and black caiman appear here. But now, our vision range is less than a meter. We won¡¯t be able to sense them in time even if we enter their attack range. ¡± After some thought, Bell returned to the rainforest and found a straight wooden stick. Bell pushed aside the weeds with the wooden stick and plunged into the swamp. It was very difficult to move forward in the swamp, especially when his vision was blocked. It could be said that every step consumed a lot of Bell¡¯s stamina. He tried his best to push aside the weeds in front of him and pull his feet out of the mud. Moreover, he had to be vigilant and pay attention to his surroundings. After walking for less than a hundred meters, Bell was panting from exhaustion and had to stop to rest. Walking in this swamp felt much more tiring than moving bricks. At this moment, Bell felt his legs ache. He could only rely on his willpower to move. ¡°I swear this swamp terrain is definitely the one I hate the most.¡± Bell looked around and said, ¡°Do you see this? Because of the weeds, the visibility is less than a meter. This is somewhat frustrating.¡± With that, Bell raised his arm to the camera. At some point, dozens of small wounds appeared on Bell¡¯s arm, covered in a layer of red. Most of the audience who lived by the water knew. Normally, if one was cut while walking through the grass field, they would not bleed directly. Instead, some fine hairs entered the wound, making it itch unbearably. ¡°These wounds were caused by the surrounding grass. Although they look weak, the edges of their leaves are serrated and very sharp. There are a lot of bacteria in this swamp. We have to deal with them in time, or there will be a risk of infection. ¡± Bell took off his backpack. There were still some aloe vera left. Bell cut the aloe vera into thin slices and placed them on the wounds. Immediately, a cool feeling suppressed the itch. After treating the wounds, Bell did not stay for long. He only rested for a moment before continuing. The rain gradually decreased. After a while, it finally stopped. However, the dark clouds did not dissipate. Instead, they continued to cover the sky, as if another storm was about to happen. After this long rain, the water level in the swamp had increased greatly. This made Bell¡¯s progress even more difficult. Bell was not tall, and the water level was almost to his waist. In this situation, once he encountered a foraging green anaconda, Bell¡¯s chances of survival were zero. The other party¡¯s strangulation power was terrifying. Someone once said that if you are entangled by the green anaconda, you can even clearly hear the sound of your bones shattering. He looked up at the still gloomy weather. Bell was still a bit relieved. No matter what, it was a good thing that the rain stopped. If the water continued to rise and reached his waist, he would really be in trouble. Chapter 249 - Deep Into the Swamp While the rain stopped, Bell had to speed up. He kept parting the weeds with the tree branch. Bell walked until noon. His stamina was exhausted, and he had to stop to rest. He had been walking for nearly three hours. But he had only walked halfway through this swamp. He was in the center of the swamp. Taking out his canteen and drinking a mouthful of water, Bell heaved a sigh of relief. ¡°In this environment, we need a lot of proteins every day to replenish our energy. Even if you have just filled your stomach, you will feel hungry again in less than three hours. I am a little tired, so I am going to rest for a while now. I can¡¯t waste this time. Let¡¯s see if I can find something to eat. ¡± There were many frogs living in the swamp. Especially in a place with dense weeds. Grasshoppers and gryllidae provided enough nutrition for frogs. Moreover, even without frogs, these insects could also provide nutrients for him. After making up his mind, Bell began to search around. After looking around, Bell quickly found his target. It was a grasshopper that was the size of a thumb. It was quite chubby. Bell adjusted his breathing and slowly reached out to the grasshopper. However, just as he was about to catch this grasshopper, he suddenly noticed something in the weeds that made him stop. Not far from the grasshopper was a huge spider. This spider was at least 25 centimeters long and completely red. Because it was covered by weeds, he did not notice it earlier. But Bell was already very close to its range. Bell carefully adjusted the camera and aimed it at the spider. ¡°Look, I found a Goliath birdeater .¡± The video quality was very clear. In addition, Bell was quite close to the spider. The audience in the live-stream could even see the fur on the spider¡¯s legs. The spider had two black venomous fangs that made one¡¯s scalp tingle. Just yesterday, everyone saw a giant centipede. Now, they were seeing such a huge spider. The Amazon rainforest was indeed an extremely dangerous place. ¡°F*ck, this is too exciting.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t go any closer, Bell. I¡¯m most afraid of spiders.¡± ¡°Bell, can you give us a warning next time? I have to clean up the instant noodles dropped on the floor.¡± ¡°F*ck, this Goliath birdeater is much larger than the wolf spiders in Australia.¡± ¡°Looks like the giant centipede yesterday could be considered okay.¡± ¡°Brothers, hold on. I¡¯ll retreat first.¡± ¡°Did anyone notice that this spider¡¯s fangs are longer than the venomous snakes¡¯?¡± ¡°I just want to ask weakly. Is Bell going to eat this thing?¡± While everyone was talking, the tarantula hiding in the weeds suddenly moved. Although it did not look small, it was not slow at all. With an agile jump, it landed accurately beside the grasshopper. Then, its terrifying fangs pierced into the grasshopper¡¯s body. Bell stood at the side and looked at the scene with interest. He did not forget to explain to the audience in the live-stream. ¡°The Goliath birdeater¡¯s first two fangs have venom in them. However, there is no need to worry. This venom is not dangerous to humans. Even if you are bitten, it will only hurt like being pricked by needles for a while. ¡± A meaningful smile appeared on Bell¡¯s face. ¡°Goliath birdeaters are a rare delicacy. There are natives who capture and eat them. Normally, I would not let this guy off. But for now, forget it. Although their venom is not harmful to humans, the fur on their bodies is very troublesome. Once the Goliath birdeater is frightened, the small steel hairs on their bodies will float in the air. There are invisible barbs on these fur. Once it enters your eyes, you can only take it out through surgery. If you accidentally inhale it, your respiratory tract will be infected. Since we can¡¯t start a fire now and deal with these fine hairs, we can only give up on this rare delicacy.¡± After capturing the grasshopper, the tarantula was closer to Bell. At the same time, it saw Bell and was shocked. It quickly crawled into the weeds and disappeared. Bell did not care. He shrugged and continued moving. He was preparing to find some new prey. After searching for a while, Bell finally caught a grasshopper. Unfortunately, a grasshopper was clearly not enough to satisfy Bell¡¯s hunger. While chewing the grasshopper, Bell bent down and dug up the weeds beside him. These weeds had been growing in the mud for a long time, so it was not difficult to pull them out. He cleaned its roots in the water. Someone pointed at the roots that were as quite full like bamboo roots. ¡°The roots of this grass can be eaten. There is also a lot of starch, vitamins, and citric acid.¡± With that, Bell placed it in his mouth and chewed. While eating, Bell did not forget to comment. ¡°The taste is not bad. It¡¯s a little sweet.¡± After eating the grass, Bell plucked some more. This thing contained starch and could give more satiety. After resting for a moment, Bell continued forward. He walked until three in the afternoon before successfully walking out of the swamp. Stepping on the firm path again, Bell felt relieved. Walking in this swamp was simply a huge torture. The rotten smell in the mud made his eyes blur. Walking into the rainforest again, Bell¡¯s footsteps were clearly light. Soon, a wide river appeared in front of him. Although the river water was a little muddy, it was strong. The river water kept flowing down. Bell did not dare to approach rashly. Instead, he looked far away. He explained to the audience in the live-stream. ¡°There are two things you have to remember in the Amazon basin. Firstly, don¡¯t stay near the river carelessly. Because if black caiman and the others who live in the river were to rush out of the water, they can jump two meters. Their speed is so fast that you cannot imagine it. They are definitely not something ordinary people can react to. Secondly, don¡¯t continue to drink water from the same place. Because black caiman or green anaconda that lives in the river will not attack rashly when you drink water for the first time. But if you dare to continue to drink water in their territory, you will not be far from death. ¡± Chapter 250 - Crossing the River ¡°Black caiman is a very patient hunter. There was once a biologist who came to the Amazon rainforest alone. A black caiman had been hiding under the boathouse for nine months. Finally, it found an opportunity to attack the biologist. Although the biologist survived, he lost a leg. From this, it can be seen how patient these guys are. ¡± Looking carefully at the riverbank, Bell suddenly realized that there was an animal corpse in the bushes beside the river. Because the bushes were lush, he could not see clearly which animal¡¯s corpse it was. Bell could only vaguely see two legs. He carefully probed it. He pushed the weeds away with the wooden stick. Only then did Bell see that it was half an animal corpse. The upper half of its body had been torn off. Bell squatted down and observed carefully. He finally confirmed that this was the lowland tapir. Moreover, judging from the freshness of its blood, it had been dead for less than two hours. Bell said to the live-stream. ¡°I found a corpse of an animal. Moreover, it has not been dead for long. If I am not wrong, it should have been attacked by the black caiman when it was drinking water by the river. Because if it were attacked by a jaguar, with its habits, it would drag its prey into the rainforest and not stay by the river. ¡± After checking the bite marks on the corpse, Bell frowned. ¡°According to the bite marks, this black caiman should be about five meters long. This is not small. The reason why I am saying this is that if it was smaller than this size, it would not be able to bite this tapir off. This corpse is warning me that there is a big guy in this river. ¡± Bell¡¯s frown deepened. After thinking for a moment, Bell sat on the ground and began to cut the meat with the dagger. No matter what, he had to fill his stomach first. Bell cut off a piece of meat and stuffed it into his mouth. He said as he chewed. ¡°This is also an unexpected surprise. Let¡¯s replenish some energy before this thing rots. Because it will definitely be very dangerous to cross the river. ¡± Black caiman belonged to the Alligatoridae family. Whether it was its size or its bite strength, it was inferior to true crocodiles. For example, Nile crocodiles and saltwater crocodiles. But the target of comparison also depended on the level of the opponent. Black caiman was at a disadvantage against the crocodiles of the same size, but the situation was completely different when the target was Bell. It had domineering superiority. It was five meters long and was definitely a giant in the water. Such a huge body was quite rare among the black caiman. If he was really bitten by it, Bell would end up just like the tapir¡¯s corpse. Of course, if they were ashore, Bell would not be so nervous. After all, among all the crocodiles, the black caiman¡¯s strength was the smallest. With Bell¡¯s current strength, he could easily control it with one hand. He could even stab the dagger into its head very calmly. But if it were in the water, the situation would change. The black caiman in the water was countless times more agile than Bell. After eating till he was slightly filled, Bell did not continue eating. It was not because there was not enough food, but because if he ate too much, most of the blood would be concentrated in his stomach to help with digestion, making his reaction slow. Although it was only a few milliseconds, this was a matter of life and death. Even if it was less than that, he had to adjust his condition to the limit. Perhaps this inconspicuous millisecond could save his life. Bell did not plan to bring the remaining meat. After all, the meat would rot in about an hour. He had no way to preserve it. ¡°It might not be all bad news. At the very least, as far as I know, the black caiman is a cold-blooded animal. To be precise, all crocodiles are cold-blooded animals. A portion of their energy comes from sunlight. Therefore, they are not in a hunting state all the time. It has already completed the hunt and eaten a portion of the food. It should not need to eat for a while. This also greatly reduces our danger factor. ¡± Bell stood up as he spoke. Looking at the surging river, Bell said. ¡°But we can¡¯t let down our guard because there are too many dangerous things in this river. It¡¯s not just the black caiman that can threaten us. I¡¯m not planning to swim over like this, because this is really risky. ¡± Bell turned around and moved to the rainforest. He began to cut some branches. He did not forget to explain to the audience. ¡°Actually, my idea is very simple. I want to create a wooden plank with buoyancy. As long as we can float on the water, we can avoid most dangers. ¡± The river in front of him was not wide, only less than 30 meters, but the main point was that the water was too rapid. Therefore, it was not realistic to swim over directly. Bell wanted to lie on the float and cross to the other side of the river. The floating board was not a raft, so the difficulty of making it was slightly lower. Bell was very agile. In a short time, he cut off five to six tree branches as thick as an arm. After cutting off the branches, he tied them together with vines. In ten minutes, he made a two-meter-long and half-meter-wide floating board. The prop looked very simple, and the audience in the live-stream knew Bell¡¯s luck in water. They couldn¡¯t help but wonder if this thing could float on the water. In fact, even Bell did not have much hope. But this thing was just to add a buoyant force. It could isolate him from the water and add a layer of protection against attacks of the creatures in the water. Arriving at the river, Bell suddenly thought of something and returned to the rainforest to find a thick vine. Then, under everyone¡¯s strange gazes, he wrapped it around his waist and crotch. Seeing this, the audience in the live-stream couldn¡¯t help but laugh. ¡°Hahaha, what are you afraid of, Bell? You¡¯re still young.¡± ¡°So Bell is afraid of something too.¡± ¡°It¡¯s okay. A man knows when to yield and when not to.¡± ¡°A little disappointing, right?¡± ¡°I¡¯ve already taken a screenshot of this. Hurry up and give me a moderator position, or I¡¯ll destroy you.¡± ¡°Hahaha, previous poster, you have to queue up.¡± ¡°Bell, there¡¯s something wrong with the current you.¡± Chapter 251 - Crisis, Strange Floating Wood Looking at the live-stream, Bell rolled his eyes. They did not say anything pleasant. What did they mean by afraid? Did he look like the kind of person who would be afraid? The main reason was that he needed to consider the future. Pain was not scary, death was not scary, the scary thing was that state where you could not use it. It was better to die instead. In this life, his happy days had yet to begin. With this in mind, Bell checked again and tightened the vines. These vines had a certain toughness. If they were bitten by a small black caiman, they might not be able to tear them apart. They would not be able to hurt his vital parts. After confirming that his defense was in place, Bell nodded in satisfaction and returned to the river. He took a deep breath and calmed himself down. Bell jumped into the water. As soon as he entered the water, most of Bell¡¯s body sank. The buoyancy of the floating board was still too low. The main reason was that there was too much water. Bell did not have high expectations for the floating board. As long as he could simply float on the water and keep his head out, it would have done its work. With the help of the water, Bell started swimming to the opposite bank. The river water was very rapid. Waves slapped at Bell from the surroundings. For a moment, Bell felt like more than ten hands were tearing at him. The floating board under him creaked from the impact, as if it would shatter at any moment. Because it was the rainy season, the upper level of the Amazon River increased greatly. The originally calm river was now a turbulent scene. The waves in the water were sometimes as high as three meters. The rapid water consumed Bell¡¯s stamina. When the water was calm for a few seconds, Bell quickly stuck his head out and breathed in the air. ¡°In this rapid water flow, we only have a few seconds to breathe. When the waves come, you have to hide underwater to reduce the impact. Don¡¯t try to fight the waves head-on. Otherwise, you will definitely faint under the water. ¡± The impact of this wave was very strong. When the waves hit the water, he could even see the layers of water parting away. When he was on the shore, he might not be able to feel how fast the water was, but once he was in it, he could feel it. Bell was very sure that the water speed had definitely reached 30 kilometers per hour. White waves rolled across the turbid water, preventing him from seeing clearly. It felt like Bell was standing on the spot while more than ten taps were spraying at him. Bell returned to his previous state. His vision range shrank to a meter. It was definitely wishful thinking to cross this turbulent water. Even ordinary speedboats could not maintain basic balance in this water. Bell could only follow his plan and try to move the other side while moving in a zigzag pattern. Although this method would make his journey longer, Bell had no other choice. Only in this environment could he feel the power of nature and feel his insignificance. The floating board kept making creaking sounds. He couldn¡¯t help but worry that his floating board would break before he reached the other shore. He was in the center of the river. Once the floating board fell apart, his situation would become even more dangerous. Fortunately, Bell had considered this and used the vines before. When he was close to the shore, although the floating boards kept making sounds, they were still tied together and were not seriously damaged. Holding the board, Bell quickly moved. ¡°We have to be faster and swim ashore before the next wave arrives. Otherwise, we will be swept downstream by the current.¡± Bell was quite lucky. At least he had not encountered any danger yet. He could not help but sigh in relief. Seeing that the riverbank was right in front of him, Bell couldn¡¯t help but speed up. However, at this moment, a black driftwood ignored the force of the river and approached Bell strangely. Under normal circumstances, the floating wood would have been washed away by the water. Therefore, any normal person would know that this was definitely not driftwood. Bell was focused on swimming to the shore and did not notice the situation behind him, but the audience in the live-stream could see it clearly. Although these audiences were usually unreliable, once they saw that Bell was in danger, they quickly reminded him. Realizing that this was not a joking matter, everyone quickly reminded Bell of the situation behind him. ¡°Bell, run. There is a crocodile behind you.¡± ¡°Host, we are not joking! Swim quickly, it¡¯s coming over!¡± However, although the comments floated past, Bell had no time to look at them. Because all his energy was focused on reaching the shore. The pull of the rapid current was very strong. If he was not careful, it would pull him back to the center of the river. The black caiman was very smart. It had been paying attention to Bell for a long time, but it did not choose to attack when Bell was in the center of the river. Bell was extremely vigilant at that time. This was like when an animal drank water by the river. It would be very vigilant the first time, but if it did not encounter an attack, it would relax the second time. This was the easiest time to hunt. This was the usual method used by the black caiman to capture prey. It would attack when the other party had its guard down. It could be said to have calculated the mentality of the prey. The black caiman was not fast. But the problem was that the rapids in the river did not affect it at all. In less than ten seconds, it was less than three meters away from Bell. Seeing that Bell did not notice the comments, the audience could not help but feel anxious. Although Bell did not notice the comments, the many times he had experienced wilderness survival had made him sensitive to danger far beyond ordinary people. Just as he was about to reach the shore, he suddenly felt uneasy. He immediately realized that something was wrong. He looked around and realized that there was a crocodile¡¯s back three meters away. Bell¡¯s pupils constricted. The moment Bell noticed the crocodile, the black caiman lurking in the water attacked him. Chapter 252 - Life and Death Battle, Drum of War! Its thick and strong tail suddenly exerted strength in the water. The sudden force made the 100-kilogram crocodile jump out of the water and open its bloody mouth. Its target was Bell. At such a close distance, Bell had no time to think. He subconsciously turned his body to avoid the black caiman¡¯s attack. Bang! The black caiman landed on the water and caused a large splash. The board below Bell was also smashed into pieces by the 100 kilograms, turning into pieces that moved down the water. Coincidentally, a branch hit Bell¡¯s eye, making him feel some pain and forcing him to close his left eye. He had lost the floating board as well as vision on his left eye temporarily. Bell was in danger. Because there was no board, Bell had to deal with the terrifying pulling force of the currents alone. His stamina began to quickly decrease. Without hesitation, Bell immediately activated the Wilderness Hunter skill. With the enhancement of his attributes, his stamina recovered a little. At the same time, he barely regained his balance, preventing himself from being washed away by the water. However, the danger was not resolved. Seeing that its attack had failed, the black caiman opened its mouth again and bit at Bell. If they were on shore, Bell would have a way to dodge the crocodile¡¯s attack. But in the water, Bell had to admit that his agility was far inferior to this black caiman. Not only did he have to use his energy to float on the surface, but he also had to deal with the pull of the current. He was powerless to resist this attack. Intimidation! Helpless, Bell could only use the skill again. The black caiman suddenly felt its heart palpitate. At the same time, its strength decreased greatly. This also caused its actions to be much slower. Bell immediately seized the opportunity and dodged the black caiman¡¯s bloody mouth. Bell saw the opportunity and stretched out his left arm to strangle the crocodile. The tension in the crocodile¡¯s mouth was not strong to begin with. With Bell¡¯s current strength and the enhancement of the Wilderness Hunter skill, it could not open its mouth at all. Enduring the pain from his shoulder blade, Bell pressed his entire body on the black caiman and used it as a floating board. In the Amazon rainforest, other than jaguars and green anacondas, black caiman had no other opponents. They had nothing to worry about in the entire rainforest. Moreover, even the green anaconda could only pose a threat to the black caiman after it reached adulthood. If it was a young green anaconda, it would be food for the black caiman instead. Living in such an environment where there were very few natural enemies, the black caiman were extremely violent. With its mouth firmly locked by Bell, the ferocious nature of the black caiman was stimulated. Its three-meter-long body twisted crazily in the water, wanting to break free from Bell¡¯s restraints. Bell only smiled disdainfully and tried his best to maintain his balance. His free hand had already reached for the dagger at his waist. He was prepared to end the life of this black caiman. However, at this moment, the black caiman seemed to sense the danger. It actually made a move that crocodiles did to kill their prey, death roll. The crocodile¡¯s teeth were very sparse, so it did not have the ability to chew. They also could not swallow the entire prey like snakes. However, they had their own way. They bit a part of the prey¡¯s body and would start rotating their body. They used this tearing force to dismember the prey. Bell was caught off guard and was almost thrown out by the black caiman. But in the end, with his willpower, Bell still hugged the crocodile¡¯s mouth tightly. The audience in the live-stream was frightened. But soon, they saw that Bell seemed to have subdued the crocodile and were watching Bell¡¯s performance with interest. Bell held the black caiman in the water and spun around like he was performing an acrobat. The audience was amused, but Bell was very depressed. Because in this water, Bell felt like he was thrown into a washing machine and spun around. His brain was already dizzy, and he could not even think clearly. He even choked on a few mouthfuls of water. After a while, the black caiman finally stopped. Such a difficult move consumed a lot of energy. It could not be done for a long time, let alone now that Bell was on it. Taking advantage of the pause, Bell popped his head out of the water and took a deep breath of fresh air. Just now, he had almost suffocated in the water. At this moment, even though there was air entering his lungs, he still felt a burning pain. However, in less than two seconds, the black caiman began to move at high speed again. Bell was brought into the water and choked. The feeling of being in a washing machine came again. Bell was already dizzy, but his hands were still holding the crocodile¡¯s mouth tightly. However, this situation did not last long. After a while, Bell finally started losing his consciousness. Without the control of consciousness, his hand gradually loosened. In the end, he was thrown several meters away by the black caiman. After regaining its freedom, the black caiman was already in a furious state. It swung its tail and swam towards Bell. What was even more dangerous was that Bell was still not conscious. He was still in a dizzy state. He could not even differentiate the directions. But his survival instinct made him rush out of the water again. Shaking his head, Bell finally cleared his head. The black caiman did not plan to give Bell time to prepare. When he regained his senses, the black caiman¡¯s next attack was already in front of him. This time, the bloody mouth was aimed at Bell¡¯s upper body. If Bell was bitten, he would be torn in half. Faced with such a dangerous situation, Bell naturally did not dare to hold back. He quickly used his last life-saving skill. Drum of War! Chapter 253 - Spoils of War As the skill was activated, Bell¡¯s heart began to beat crazily like a war drum. At the same time, the attributes of the black caiman decreased again. Violent power surged in his body, and the acceleration of his blood made his pupils turn red. ¡°Roar!¡± As if because there was nowhere to vent, Bell roared angrily on the water, making it difficult to tell if this was a human or a human monster. At this moment, Bell no longer seemed to be the prey struggling in the water. Instead, he had transformed into an existence at the top of the food chain. With Bell¡¯s roar, the surrounding birds and beasts were alarmed and fled in all directions. Bell was surprised to discover that he had triggered the 10% chance of intimidating other creatures. At this moment, Bell had instantly become another species in front of the black caiman. The black caiman seemed to have seen something terrifying. It quickly turned around and ran away. Its tail kept moving rapidly, wishing it could have a few more. The audience in the live-stream was also stunned by Bell¡¯s roar. At that moment, they seemed to see an ancient hunter waking up. ¡°F*ck, what just happened?¡± ¡°I was scared to death. Bell was so scary.¡± ¡°That crocodile was scared away just like that?¡± ¡°I knew it. Bell is definitely a man who stands at the top of the food chain.¡± ¡°Bell, grow up quickly. I want to have children with you!¡± The live-stream was noisy. Bell had just returned to his senses. In the battle with the black caiman, he was thrown near the shore by this black caiman. He could reach the shore in less than four meters. A ferocious glint appeared in Bell¡¯s eyes. He did not choose to go ashore directly. Instead, he looked at the black caiman that was trying to escape. Under everyone¡¯s shocked gazes, Bell went forward and pounced on the black caiman¡¯s tail, trying his best to pull it ashore. Once they went up, it would be Bell¡¯s home ground. He had plenty of ways to kill this black caiman. After being shocked by the Drum of War, the black caiman was in no mood to fight Bell. Even though Bell had grabbed its tail, it did not dare to turn around and bite. Instead, it continued to try its best to escape back to the center of the river. The black caiman was much stronger in the water than on land. Bell could not drag it with his full strength. The time for the Wilderness Hunter skill was almost up. Once the time was up, this black caiman would escape his control. Seeing this, Bell knew that it was impossible to drag this big guy up. Bell took out the dagger from his waist and slashed at the black caiman¡¯s tail. The dagger given by the system was sharp. Under Bell¡¯s full strength slash, it cut off a section of the black caiman¡¯s tail without any obstruction. The intense pain made the black caiman roar angrily. But at the same time, it found itself free again. Ignoring the pain in its body, the black caiman quickly twisted its body and disappeared into the turbid water. As for Bell, he brought his spoils of war and quickly swam to the shore. After swimming ashore with difficulty, Bell lay on the grass and looked at the sky above. Because of the lack of oxygen for a long time, his lungs seemed to be about to explode. In addition, he had drunk a lot of turbid river water. He was in a very bad state. In fact, although it took a long time to describe, it had only been a minute since he had fought with the black caiman. But this matter was extremely dangerous. Especially the last attack of the black caiman. If not for the fact that he was lucky enough to trigger the deterrence effect of the Drum of War, he would have been bitten. Although its attributes had been weakened, once he was bitten by this big guy, even if he did not die, he would be severely injured. After resting for a while, Bell slowly sat up and looked at the crocodile tail in his hand. ¡°Although it was very dangerous just now, fortunately, we also gained something. I exchanged my life for this crocodile tail. Many times, wilderness survival is like this. Life and death often happened in an instant. But real wilderness survivalists like the feeling of wandering between life and death. Trust me, that feeling is really mesmerizing. ¡± ¡°So, guys, what should you do now? Shouldn¡¯t the gifts be sent?¡± It was still Bell¡¯s old trick. After saying some wise words, there would definitely be a surprising sentence thrown out. However, no one was stingy because it was just as Bell had said. Bell¡¯s performance this time was indeed very exciting. What about just now? It was not a special effect, but a three-meter-long black caiman. After the gifts were sent, Bell calculated that he had received more than seven million in gifts in his live-stream just today. Bell had indeed encountered a lot of danger this time. But that was not the most important thing. Most importantly, Bell had indeed gained a lot from this time¡¯s stream. He already had no financial pressure. The reason why he was still doing wilderness survival was mainly because he enjoyed the feeling of challenging his limits. Then, he could increase his strength. This was what Bell really pursued. While fighting these top beasts, Bell realized that his body was lacking. To be honest, although Bell had the attributes of an adult, it was still unrealistic to fight these beasts. Bell couldn¡¯t help but think that if his stats had reached 50, and with the support of the Wilderness Hunter, he might have been able to kill the black caiman with a single punch. If that was the case, he should be able to do whatever he wanted in the Amazon rainforest. He could even try to look for El Dorado. But this was only when he was strong enough. Chapter 254 - Natural Shelter Thinking of that future, Bell could not help but look forward to it. Perhaps when the time came, he could really try to find the treasure hidden in this forest. But then Bell shook his head and stopped thinking about it. He was not short of money. Moreover, he had a long way to go to improve his attributes. It was not something that could be done in a short time. It was more important to take care of the present. When he crossed the river, Bell¡¯s stamina was exhausted. He picked up the crocodile tail and ate heartily. The taste of the crocodile¡¯s tail was not good. The meat was tough, making his cheeks hurt. But it was a rare food in this rainforest. A crocodile tail the size of an adult¡¯s arm was quickly destroyed by Bell. Bell stood up and looked at the sky that was gradually turning dark. He turned to the live-stream and said. ¡°It¡¯s getting dark again. It will probably be completely dark in an hour or so. We can¡¯t set up camp by the water in the Amazon rainforest. This is equivalent to turning yourself into a buffet for the beasts. We have to return to the rainforest and find a suitable shelter.¡± Bell untied the vines around his crotch and quickly walked into the rainforest. It could rain at any time in the Amazon during the rainy season. The shelter had to be able to block the rain and stay away from the ground. Although there were tall trees everywhere, it was not easy to find a shelter that fulfilled these two conditions. Bell looked around as he walked. The ideal situation was to find a tree hole like the one yesterday. In this rainforest, the trees were of all shapes and sizes, and some even looked similar to animals. These strange trees were often more suitable as a shelter. After a while, Bell finally found his goal. It was a strange-looking tree. The spiraling branches and roots formed a natural wooden bed a meter above the ground. Bell only needed to cut off the excess branches to make a shelter. Of course, he still had to cover his head. He could make a simple canopy with the leaves. It could be used to shield him from the rain. Moreover, if a wild beast attacked in the middle of the night, he could climb up this tree and avoid most of the danger. ¡°Does everyone see this? This is it. This is simply a natural shelter. Remember what I said? You have to learn to use the convenience given by nature in the wild. Only then can we increase our chances of survival. ¡± Bell walked forward and patted the thick tree trunk. ¡°This guy has grown quite well. I only need to expend a little energy to obtain a safe shelter. This is really worth it.¡± As he spoke, Bell did not stay idle. He began to cut off the excess branches on the spot which he determined as his wooden bed. Ten minutes later, a hammock large enough to accommodate him was completed. He lay down and tried it. He confirmed that it was quite firm. Moreover, there was a fence-like root around it to prevent him from falling to the ground in the middle of the night. There were many lush trees in this rainforest with waterproof leaves. Bell found some and cut them down, weaving them tightly and hanging them above his shelter. Although this shelter looked a little simple, it could at least shelter him from the wind and rain. Moreover, it was far from the ground, which satisfied his requirements. ¡°I remember telling everyone before that in wilderness survival, we don¡¯t pursue comfort. After all, if you want to pursue comfort in the wilderness, you might as well go traveling. You have to remember that we are surviving.¡± Bell sat in his shelter. ¡°Many times, some inexperienced survivalists think that their stamina is still abundant and waste their stamina on meaningless things. For example, trying to build your shelter beautifully, but in fact, no matter how beautiful it is, it can¡¯t give you any practical help. It will only consume your stamina for nothing. ¡± Bell¡¯s shelter was built, but the sky was not completely dark. Bell stood up again. ¡°We have to prioritize food first. In wilderness survival, food plays a key role in whether you can successfully survive. No matter what the environment is, the human body needs energy to maintain it. Only then can you ensure your bodily functions. While it is not completely dark yet, we can make a few more traps and see if we can catch some prey.¡± He walked under the palm tree again. Bell began to search around. He gathered a few red fruits that were around the ground. But these fruits seemed to have begun to rot. Bell moved them to the camera and explained. ¡°I¡¯m guessing that some of the audience don¡¯t recognize this thing. It¡¯s called palm fruit. Fresh palm fruits can be eaten, but it is said that this thing tastes like feces. However, for some rodents, this is a rare delicacy. We can put it in the trap as bait. ¡± Bell looked around for a suitable place to make traps. ¡°In fact, in the wilderness, traps are the most stamina-saving method to capture prey, but it is not the most stable. Compared to catching prey yourself, traps rely more on luck. But it can save a portion of your time and stamina. What I am going to do now is to create a few traps before we go to sleep. Then, I can check if any prey has taken the bait after I wake up. There are many ways to create traps. There are also many types of traps. You can use different traps in different environments. ¡± Bell walked to a stone as he spoke. The stone in front of him was oval in shape and the size of a basin. Turning the stone over, Bell realized that this stone was a little flat. It could be considered a natural material for making traps. Putting it aside, Bell found another wooden stick and broke it, then pieced it together. He placed the wooden stick on the ground and propped up the stone he had found. Chapter 255 - Probability After doing all this, Bell pointed at the broken wooden sticks and said, ¡°This wooden stick is in a broken state. As long as you touch the supported rock gently, it will immediately collapse.¡± ¡°This stone is not light. Although it can¡¯t kill the animals that fall into the trap immediately, it can still suppress them and prevent them from escaping. What we need to do now is to install a bait and trigger. ¡± The triggering device that Bell mentioned was not as complicated as the audience had imagined. Instead, it was very simple. The principle of many traps in the wilderness could be understood with a glance, and one could learn it. However, the key was to know how to adapt and use these traps flexibly. Bell tied a thin stick to one of the wooden sticks. Then, he stabbed the palm fruit into the small stick. He reassembled the wooden sticks and held the rock. Bell pointed at the palm tree and smiled. ¡°How is it? Isn¡¯t it very simple? Actually, even without tools, it¡¯s not that difficult to make a trap. Most of the time, some laymen would over-complicate this matter. In wilderness survival, you have to do everything in a simple and efficient way to conserve your energy and save time. In any case, the trap is completed. As for whether there is a prey, it will depend on luck. We shouldn¡¯t waste too much energy on such a gamble. It¡¯s not worth it. ¡± Bell spread his hands. The audience in the live-stream laughed. ¡°Of course, it depends on the situation. If your trap can capture the prey with certainty, take my words as a fart.¡± After making a trap, Bell stood up again and began to search for the next spot to place a trap. ¡°We need to create a few more traps, because the more traps there are, the higher the chances of catching prey.¡± ¡°It¡¯s like opening treasure chests. The more treasure chests there are, the higher the chances of obtaining good things. Of course, we are not counting luck and misfortune here. ¡± Soon, Bell found two more stone slabs and made two more traps. Wiping the soil from his hands, Bell returned to the shelter in peace. In ten minutes at most, this rainforest would be swallowed by darkness. At this moment, Bell was squatting beside his shelter and pointing the camera at the dead leaves on the ground. On a dead leaf, there was a leech less than two centimeters long that was slowly crawling. As if sensing Bell¡¯s approach, the leech raised its head and squirmed in Bell¡¯s direction. ¡°Everyone, do you see this? This is one of the reasons why I¡¯m unwilling to sleep on the ground. There are an uncountable number of such leeches in this rainforest. They are even more annoying than mosquitoes. When the rainy season arrives, they hide under the dead leaves. Once an animal passes by, they will stick to it and start feeding. They will only fall off when they can¡¯t absorb anymore.¡± Bell grabbed the leech. Sensing the food, the leech stuck out its head and tried to bite Bell¡¯s palm. But Bell had experienced so much wilderness survival that his palms were already covered in calluses. Faced with the thick cuticle, the leech could only try harder, but it could not suck anything. It could only test if there was any other place to eat. ¡°Do you see this? You won¡¯t feel pain when they bite you. ¡°When they bite their prey, they will release an anticoagulant that will make your wound bleed continuously.¡± ¡°A research team came to the Amazon rainforest to investigate. Because they had no experience, they pitched their tents on the ground. When they woke up the next day, they realized that there were at least ten leeches of different sizes attached to their bodies. After a night of feeding, the leeches had already increased to the size of a baby¡¯s fist. Everyone had lost about 800 milliliters of blood. ¡± ¡°We can¡¯t even reach this number when our blood is drawn.¡± Bell threw the leech away in disgust. ¡°Of course, their harm is far more than just blood loss. Once you are bitten by these guys, you will be easily infected by bacteria and parasites while bleeding. This is not nonsense, but someone has experienced it themselves in the past. Walking in the swamp, the person was bitten by a leech and blood flukes entered his body through the wound. By the time he realized something was wrong and returned to check his body, he was already in the late stage of the schistosomiasis. ¡± Thinking of that scene, Bell felt a chill. After every wilderness survival show, Bell would go do a full body checkup to prevent such a situation from happening to his body. He did not want to find a large number of disgusting insects living in his body one day. Lying in the shelter, Bell heaved a sigh of relief. ¡°To be honest, I feel that this rainforest is not friendly to me. Today is the third day since we came here, but it made me realize what it means to feel like a day passing by like a year. Every second here is so dangerous that I have to be in a fully tense state. If possible, I will definitely not come here a second time.¡± ¡°I¡¯ve already said that belief in survival is very important. When your body is exhausted, belief is the only motivation to continue walking. The ones who are supporting me are my friends from faraway. Every time I experience life and death, I will think of them when I lie down to rest. This will rekindle my fighting spirit. ¡± The audience in the live-stream also revealed curious expressions. ¡°Haha, the word friends is very clever.¡± ¡°Sigh, Bell is still young, but he already has so many ¡®good friends¡¯.¡± ¡°Previous poster, are you envious?¡± Seeing the people in the live-stream complain about him, Bell smiled. He did not say much. In the wilderness, loneliness was a huge enemy. Sometimes, it was a way to relax by watching the comments in the live-stream. However, there was a more relaxed way. ¡°Alright, everyone, today¡¯s live broadcast will end here. I¡¯ll see you tomorrow. I¡¯m going to rest now.¡± Chapter 256 - Traps Closing the live-stream, Bell listened to the insects and birds in the rainforest and slowly closed his eyes. Even after closing his eyes, his mind was still replaying the scene of him fighting to the death with the black caiman. Although the matter was over, Bell¡¯s nerves were still tense. Bell gradually calmed down. Moreover, as he relaxed, the pain in his shoulder blade spread again. The pain reminded Bell of the jaguar. This was also Bell¡¯s first time fighting such a large hunter. At the same time, it made him deeply realize the difference between him and these large beasts. That night¡¯s confrontation was really a moment of life and death. If his opponent had been a larger African lion or Siberian tiger, he would probably have died. The Siberian tiger appeared in Bell¡¯s mind, and his heart palpitated. He was still too weak. Bell clenched his fists. Thoughts filled his mind, but the exhaustion of the day quickly turned into sleepiness. It swept towards Bell and he finally fell asleep. The next morning, Bell woke up in rainy weather. The rain hit the palm leaves above his head, making crackling sounds. Although the rainy morning was refreshing, it was a little cold. Rubbing his sleepy eyes, Bell sat up. He curled his lips after knowing that it was raining. At the same time, he twitched his nose and revealed a disgusted expression. In this rainforest, even the rain could not hide the smell of decay. He opened the live-stream to relax his limbs. He did not forget to check the injury on the back of his neck. After confirming that his wound did not worsen, Bell heaved a sigh of relief. To be precise, the recovery of the wound was quite ideal. The aloe vera was indeed very effective. It could even be said to have exceeded his expectations. ¡°Alright, a new day has begun. Today is another rainy day. To be honest, encountering such weather often makes me a little irritated. But it¡¯s necessary to hurry. ¡± Bell curled his lips and carried his backpack. Then, he perked up and said. ¡°Let¡¯s see if there are any gains from the traps yesterday. I¡¯m a little hungry. I need breakfast to replenish my energy. ¡± After walking for a while in the rain, Bell quickly arrived at his first trap. The trap was intact and had no traces of being moved. Bell shook his head in disappointment. ¡°Looks like no prey passed by here.¡± Then, Bell walked to the second trap he had made. Bell felt a little helpless. ¡°Although I had already expected this outcome, I¡¯m still a little disappointed. It is probably the same as buying a lottery. The buyers naturally hoped to win. But this thing itself relies on luck. You cannot guarantee that it will work. Therefore, the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment. We have to remain calm. After all, survival can¡¯t end here. Don¡¯t let some small setbacks affect your condition.¡± While talking, Bell walked and soon arrived at the third trap. Before he could approach, Bell noticed that his trap seemed to have been triggered. The thick stone slab was already firmly covered in soil. Seeing this, Bell quickly walked forward. The stone slab he had found earlier was covered tightly on the ground. Beside the stone slab was some soil that had been dug out. Seeing this, Bell had a bad feeling. After lifting the stone slab, there was no prey below. Bell was helpless. He pointed at the claw marks in the hole. ¡°Looks like this stone trap was triggered. Some animal must have been caught by the trap last night, but this guy seems to be very good at digging holes.¡± ¡°Alright, I admit that we failed again.¡± ¡°As far as I know, there are no pangolins in South America, but there are animals similar to them. To be able to dig a hole and escape after being hit by a stone slab weighing more than ten kilograms, if I¡¯m not wrong, it should be armadillos . ¡± ¡°Sometimes, people who don¡¯t know them will think that the armadillo and the pangolin are the same thing, but in fact, they are two completely different species. They just have some similarities. Firstly, they both have thick and solid armor, and they dig very quickly. In the wilderness, the three giants in digging should be pangolin, armadillo, and aardvark. Their survival skills and hunting skills mostly rely on this exquisite digging technique. Armadillo can dig a meter-deep tunnel in a minute. Therefore, it¡¯s clearly not realistic to trap it with our trap. ¡± The three traps failed. Bell had no choice but to continue moving. He could only look forward to seeing if he could find anything to eat on the way. The rain was still falling. This continuous drizzle really wore down one¡¯s will. Moreover, for a survivalist, this rain blocked their vision. At the same time, it covered the sound of the beasts¡¯ footsteps in the rain. This was not a good thing for Bell. Wiping the rain from his face, Bell looked at the rapid stream in front of him and revealed a helpless expression. In the past, this stream would be less than half a meter long. But because of the rainy season, the endless rain made the stream wider and faster. The stream in front of Bell was ten meters wide. Although the water was not deep, about half the height of a person, if anyone dared to walk in the rapid water, the outcome would be tragic. Not to mention a person, even a small car would be washed away in this water. ¡°We only have two choices now. The first is to directly cross this stream. The second is to move around it. The former is very dangerous because this rapid stream will wash me away. If I accidentally hit a rock, I will probably die here. Chapter 257 - Crossing the Stream ¡°Don¡¯t underestimate this stream. Its water speed can reach 38 kilometers per hour. Once we are sucked in, it will be impossible for us to climb up.¡± Bell looked upstream. ¡°If we choose to take a detour, it might be safer, but I can¡¯t be sure how far the path crossing the stream is from us. Once we take a detour, how far do we have to go?¡± ¡°If we¡¯re lucky, we can quickly cross this stream, but if we¡¯re unlucky, we might not be able to cross it even if we walk for a day.¡± ¡°In this situation, time is very precious to us. Moreover, it is still raining heavily, which means that the stream will continue to widen. It is even possible that it will become a flash flood as time passes. We have to pass through this stream as soon as possible to avoid danger.¡± ¡°Alright, the problem now is how to pass this stream safely.¡± As he spoke, Bell looked around and began to search for a way to cross the stream safely. The sooner he could cross the river, the safer he would be. In the Amazon rainforest, floods were often caused by such streams merging together. The huge amount of rain made the excess water in the rainforest gather in the stream. As time passed, the stream would become larger and larger. In the end, they would gather to become a flood. Bell looked calm, but he was anxious. Sometimes, humans were really very small in front of nature. Facing the flood, Bell¡¯s chances of survival were zero. Not to mention the current him, even if his physique really reached 50 points, there was no chance of survival. At this moment, Bell¡¯s eyes suddenly lit up as he looked at a 15-meter-tall Agathis. This Agathis was not too thick and looked to be as thick as an adult¡¯s thigh. But this was not the key. The key was that it was straight. There were no extra branches on the smooth tree trunk, only some leaves growing on the top. Bell walked to the tree and patted the smooth trunk. ¡°Everyone, look what I found. This is Agathis. It should be about 15 meters tall.¡± ¡°I have a bold idea now. That is to cut down this tree and let it lie horizontally on this stream. This way, we will have a way to cross this river easily.¡± Agathis was an easily worked wood. It was not as difficult to cut as other hard wood. Bell stuck the dagger in the tree and hit it with a wooden branch. The spot he was cutting was the side that was facing the stream. This way, as long as he cut the tree halfway, he could push it down and make it land on the other side. After working for a long time, Bell pushed hard, and the Agathis creaked and fell to the other side. Bell put away the dagger and said with a smile. ¡°As a person, you have to know how to adapt to the situation. After all, knowledge is dead, but people are alive.¡± Bell did not waste any more time. He grabbed the tree trunk and carefully stepped into the stream. As soon as he entered the water, Bell felt a huge push from his lower body, but it was already very difficult to stand here. Bell could not help but frown. Bell did not choose to continue forward. Instead, he returned to the shore and shook his head helplessly. ¡°No, the water is faster than I thought, so to be safe, we have to add some safety measures.¡± Bell did not explain. Instead, he quickly ran back to the forest and began to search for vines. His actions were very fast, or rather, he had to choose to be faster, because as time passed, the water level of the stream would continue to rise, and soon, the Agathis he had cut down would be washed away. Bell came to a tall tree, grabbed a vine, and pulled it down. ¡°This thing in my hand is called rattan. Although it is only as thick as a thumb, it is very tensile. This rattan can be used as a rope.¡± Rattan were the longest plants on land. In a suitable environment, they could even grow to about 500 meters. ¡°I think I don¡¯t have to say much about the importance of a rope in the wilderness. I¡¯ve already explained it to everyone. Their use is second only to knives. Therefore, if you encounter these things in the wild, don¡¯t miss them. Collect as many as possible. They can help you build a shelter and also be used as a tool to carry things. They can even save your life when you are in danger. ¡± While Bell was talking, he had already gathered dozens of meters of rattan. Not only were these rattan firm, but they were also very tensile. He tied them together and carried them on his back like cables. Bell had other uses for this bundle of rattan. He would not need so much to just cross the stream. Bell cut off another three-meter-long rattan. He wrapped the rattan around the tree trunk and pulled it back and forth. ¡°Remember my actions. The main goal is to make the vine softer and more flexible.¡± Bell quickly returned to the stream with the rattans he had gathered. He put the rattan on the Agathis and wrapped it around his legs and waist. After confirming that it was tied tightly, Bell started moving. ¡°The trunk of the Agathis is very smooth. Doing this is similar to a zipline. This can stabilize our bodies and prevent us from being washed away by the water. ¡± With this layer of protection, Bell¡¯s safety increased, but he did not dare to be too careless. He still moved carefully in the stream. The water was very strong. It was very difficult to stand up after falling into the water. Even the Agathis would be washed away. Bell grabbed the tree trunk firmly and moved to the other side of the stream step by step. This was a wise move because once he reached the center of the river, not to mention walking, just standing steadily was already a very difficult thing. Chapter 258 - Self When he was free, Bell did not forget to look at the comments and answer the audience¡¯s questions. Many people were very puzzled. Since the impact in the river was so strong, why did Bell not choose to use this Agathis as a bridge? Bell explained very patiently, ¡°It¡¯s not that I don¡¯t want to do this, but this Agathis is too thin. Moreover, it¡¯s a kind of soft wood. I¡¯m worried that it can¡¯t withstand my weight. Once we choose to use it as a bridge, we have no way out. If it accidentally breaks, the stream will wash us and this tree away. At that time, it will be hard to say if we will live or die. ¡± Bell hugged the tree trunk tightly and took another small step with all his strength. He could feel the impact of the water getting stronger and stronger. This could not continue. Seeing that there was still half the distance left, Bell chose to activate his skill. The Wilderness Hunter skill was activated again, and his exhausted stamina became abundant again. Gritting his teeth, Bell endured the impact of the water and approached the other side. It took Bell more than ten minutes to cross a ten-meter-wide stream. This efficiency could be said to be extremely low. Especially with every step he took in the middle of the stream, Bell had to use all his strength. Then, after taking a step, he had to firmly stick his feet to the bottom of the rock under the stream and stabilize himself before taking the next step. Climbing ashore, Bell cut off the rattans tied to the Agathis and sat on the ground, breathing heavily. Crossing such a rapid stream, Bell¡¯s legs had to withstand a huge pressure. Sitting on the ground, his legs were still trembling. This trembling was caused by exhaustion. Looking at the audience in the live-stream, Bell couldn¡¯t help but smile bitterly. ¡°It feels like my body has been hollowed out.¡± The audience in the live-stream couldn¡¯t help but laugh. ¡°Haha, Bell, you¡¯re still young. How can you think about this?¡± ¡°Hmm, things are great.¡± ¡°Wow, what are you guys talking about? How dirty.¡± ¡°Bell, you¡¯ve changed. When did you like to make sexual innuendos? Why have you become what I like?¡± ¡°Host, there¡¯s something wrong with you.¡± ¡°Jokes aside, haven¡¯t you noticed? Bell¡¯s strength is really terrifying. If it were me, I would have been washed away by such a rapid stream. ¡± After sitting on the ground and resting for a moment, Bell felt his legs return to normal. Then, he slowly stood up. It had been an hour since Bell prepared to cross the stream. The water level of this stream was much higher than before. It was a change visible to the naked eye. Because Bell noticed that the Agathis was about to be swept away. ¡°Do you see that? It¡¯s only been an hour, and the water is about to swallow the tree. In just a while, the height has increased by more than 30 centimeters. Let¡¯s leave this place as soon as possible. I don¡¯t want to be washed away by the stream. If this rain continues, there will definitely be a flash flood at night. ¡± Seeing that there might be a flood at night, Bell knew that he had to find a high ground that was at least three to five meters above the ground. To be honest, Bell felt that he had been a little impulsive to choose to come to the Amazon rainforest. Compared to the Amazon rainforest during the dry season, the rainy season was undoubtedly more dangerous. Even the local natives who had lived here for more than a thousand years did not dare to rashly enter this place during the rainy season. This continuous rain could make anything in the rainforest wet and sticky. The muddy ground forced Bell to find another wooden stick to use as a simple climbing stick. With this thing, he could save a lot of effort when climbing some high slopes. ¡°Don¡¯t underestimate modern science. It has already developed to this extent. Most creatures and events can be explained clearly, but I want to tell everyone that more than 50% of the animals and plants in the Amazon rainforest have not been studied and analyzed. ¡°Many strange plants haven¡¯t even been named.¡± Bell came to a huge tree that was five to six meters tall. There were many dense tree tumors on the tree trunk. Bell pointed at the tree trunk and said. ¡°For example, the tree in front of us is called a self-destructing tree. These dense tumors on the tree trunk are actually its fruits. Moreover, just from the name, everyone should have guessed it. That¡¯s right, this tree will self-destruct. I¡¯m not using any metaphor. It¡¯s a literal meaning.¡± ¡°Every time the dry season comes, the surface of this tree will explode one after another, sending all these fruits flying. This is also its unique way to spread seeds.¡± ¡°The power of its explosion can send the fruit flying 150 meters away.¡± Bell patted the tree and said seriously, ¡°Actually, the biological world has yet to figure out what causes this tree to self-destruct. There are about ten million named and defined creatures in the world. At first glance, it might sound like a lot, but in fact, there are still more than ten million species that have not been named or defined. They have not even been discovered. ¡± ¡°The world is really big. There are all kinds of strange things. It has been millions of years since humans first appeared on Earth, but it is only in recent generations that we have been exploring the Earth.¡± Bell couldn¡¯t help but show a trace of reverence. Compared to the endless Amazon rainforest, the weather in Los Angeles was very good today. The sun was bright and the sky was cloudless. Although the sun was high in the sky, it was not hot. The occasional breeze made one feel extremely comfortable. It was not surprising. Some people said that Los Angeles was the most suitable city to live in in the United States. In the wealthy district of California, Ickville stood in front of the window and looked at the sunny weather. His mood was not too good. Chapter 259 - Terrifying Record Ickville, who had just woken up, was watching videos on the Internet. Normally, he would choose to go out and have fun in such good weather. However, he had no choice but to give up on this thought because there was still a thick layer of plaster on his right leg. Ickville was a university student and a parkour enthusiast. He was quite famous in the parkour industry. But two days ago, when he was practicing jumping over obstacles, Ickville had an accident. Because he could not control his balance, Ickville¡¯s calf hit a stone staircase and broke on the spot. He was still recuperating. After browsing the live streams, Ickville felt bored. His attention was mostly focused on the sports field, but after looking through a few, he realized that most of these guys were just showing off and did not have any true ability. Just as Ickville was about to leave, he suddenly saw a video on the top of YouTube. ¡°The King of the Wilderness!¡± Looking at the eye-catching title, Ickville was instantly attracted. In fact, this name aroused his competitive spirit. He was also a fan of extreme sports, but he also knew that there were many fake videos in this industry. Now that this video was at the top trending, Ickville could not help but feel curious. He wanted to know if this was another clickbait or if the person really had some ability. ¡°Heh, the King of the Wilderness, I really have to take a look.¡± With a critical attitude, Ickville opened the video. He was an expert in parkour, so his physique was naturally good. He had some understanding of other extreme sports as well. However, as soon as the video began, he saw the ten-meter-wide abyss on the Australian watershed. Before he could observe the surrounding scenery, he was shocked by Bell¡¯s actions. Bell accelerated and seemed to fly, crossing ten meters of the abyss. ¡°I am the King of the Wilderness!¡± After crossing the abyss, Bell stood by the cliff and shouted proudly. When Ickville saw this scene, his mind went blank. ¡°How¡­ how is this possible?¡± Ickville suspected that this was an illusion. After carefully observing it several times, Ickville realized that there were no traces of editing. But it was also because of this that he was so shocked that he did not know what to say. As a parkour expert, Ickville knew the limits of various sports. Currently, the highest record for human running and long jumping was 8.95 meters. But Bell¡¯s leap just now was definitely more than ten meters. This was not as simple as breaking a record. It had to be known that no one had broken the long jump record of 8.95 meters in 25 years. In other words, if this video was not edited and faked, the highest record for human long jump would be refreshed. ¡°This is impossible, this is definitely impossible! The muscle fibers of an Asian are not enough to support the body jumping such a long distance. Moreover, he is only a child. His physique has not even reached its limit! ¡± Ickville did not know how to describe it. He quickly pressed the pause button and returned the video to the beginning. He was prepared to see where the issue was. The physique of Asians was indeed weaker than white and black people. After all, black people had 30 to 18% more muscle fibers than the other two. These muscle fibers mainly reflected explosive power. The most representative of it was naturally track and field. In the current Olympics track and field, the championships were almost monopolized by the black people. The fastest speed of an Asian in a hundred-meter sprint was only 9.99 seconds. On the other hand, this was a normal achievement for black people. The difference was huge. Ickville was an expert in parkour, so he naturally knew about these things. Mike Powell, who had set the long jump record, was a black man. Therefore, when he saw Bell¡¯s jump, the disbelief on his face was not difficult to understand. Most importantly, Bell was only a child, and the distance he jumped was not just a few centimeters or millimeters, but more than ten meters. Ickville¡¯s first thought was that this thing was definitely a special effect. How could ordinary people have such explosive power? But after watching it more than twenty times, Ickville finally had to admit that there were no traces of editing. After confirming this result, Ickville seemed to have discovered a new world. He started searching for the abyss where Bell had jumped. The image was almost identical to the one in the video. This shocked Ickville even more. ¡°Damn it, is this guy Superman? How can he have such a terrifying explosive force?¡± Although he said that, he could not hide the excitement in his heart. He even ignored the pain of his leg twitching violently because of the excitement. Ten minutes later, Ickville finally calmed down and carefully watched the video after the leap of faith. Because of such an explosive opening, Ickville could not help but look forward to the subsequent videos. The contents of the latter parts were indeed not disappointing. The video was edited very precisely. There was not even a second of unnecessary content. After watching the entire video, Ickville¡¯s adrenaline soared. Especially when he saw Bell¡¯s smooth actions in the rocky area, compared to Bell¡¯s smooth actions, the parkour technique that he was proud of could be said to be nothing. ¡°This, this is true parkour. This is extreme sports!¡± Ickville pointed at the video and said excitedly. Seeing the video, Ickville also noticed the details of the Discovery Channel. He immediately called without hesitation. He was preparing to ask about the time of this program. The same thing was happening everywhere. Bell, who was in the Amazon rainforest, did not know about this. He even wondered why he had suddenly gained more than a million fans overnight. This happiness came too suddenly. Although he already had many fans now, who would dislike having more fans? Chapter 260 - Day and Night With Bell¡¯s current popularity points, he could draw several times. According to his previous luck, these lucky draws would definitely increase his strength greatly. Bell couldn¡¯t help but smile. Suddenly, he seemed to react and quickly looked at the comments in the live-stream. Realizing that not many audience members in the live-stream noticed his abnormality, Bell heaved a sigh of relief. Seeing that his strength could increase further, Bell¡¯s mood could not help but improve. Even his footsteps became much lighter. The gloomy rain darkened the rainforest. Bell did not know how long he had walked until he felt hunger and had to stop. Bell sat on a tree stump and wiped the rain from his face. ¡°In this environment, it¡¯s difficult to know the exact time without a watch and electronic equipment. In the wilderness, we have to know how to arrange our time and when to do things. Because doing the wrong thing at the wrong time might cause you to gain nothing and only waste your energy. ¡± ¡°In this current weather and environment, you can¡¯t even tell if it¡¯s morning or afternoon. However, I can teach everyone a way to differentiate it by looking at animals. When we can¡¯t confirm the approximate time, we can choose to observe the movements of some animals. Many animals are most active in the evening and night. Of course, this cannot be considered a precise conclusion. But their actions point to a general time period. ¡± Bell walked to a tree. On the wide leaves of this tree was a small blue poison dart frog. Bell pointed at the frog. ¡°Frogs are usually active in the evening and night. When you are in the wilderness, if you can hear the sound of frogs, it means that it will be dark soon. At this time, we need to find a shelter as soon as possible.¡± ¡°In addition, there are many nocturnal creatures. For example, the jaguar we encountered before. Of course, we can¡¯t rely on such ferocious creatures to remind us. But there are also some gentle animals, such as owls and bats that float at night or in the evening.¡± The rain did not stop. Bell looked around. He sighed and said. ¡°In this rainy season in the Amazon rainforest, rain can often cause flash floods in just a few days. Therefore, for safety¡¯s sake, we have to sleep higher today. Do you remember the rattans I gathered earlier? They can help us build a shelter on high ground.¡± The rattans he had gathered were dozens of meters long. Bell decided to find a tree with dense branches and use these rattans to build a hammock. In the tropical rainforest, there was no lack of strange trees. Soon, Bell found his ideal shelter. It was a tall tree with a diameter of three meters. If it were in the outside world, it would definitely be worshiped. Unfortunately, this was the Amazon rainforest. It could only be counted as an ordinary tree here. Because the trunk of this tree was three meters thick, Bell was not worried that it would be washed away by the flood. Most importantly, not only were there many vines on the tree trunk, but there were also some uneven bumps that were suitable for climbing. Following the vines, Bell easily climbed seven meters up the tree. He stood on a thick branch and took off the rattan. ¡°These two branches are very firm, and they are less than a meter apart. As long as we tie them with these rattans, we can make a strong hammock.¡± Bell moved quickly and finished building his shelter in less than ten minutes. Lying on the shelter, Bell even made some large movements to test the toughness of the rattans. Fortunately, the rattan did not break. ¡°Looks like we don¡¯t have to worry. I think this hammock can withstand the weight of at least five people.¡± The audience in the live-stream couldn¡¯t help but worry for Bell. After all, the rattan looked to be only the thickness of a thumb. If Bell really fell from this height of seven meters, he would break a few bones at least. After all, this was a plant, and no one particularly approved of it. It could not be said that they were timid. The main reason was that this rattan looked fragile, as if it would break with a light pull. It was indeed a little difficult to make them believe that these thin rattans could withstand a lot of weight. Not everyone had a strong heart and knowledge like Bell. The hammock was built, and there were still some rattans in Bell¡¯s hand. He did not waste it. He tied the leaves together tightly and used them as an overhead cover. ¡°Alright, our shelter is completed. I¡¯m feeling a little hungry. It¡¯s time to find some food. Although a normal person can survive for seven days without food, if they do not have food to eat, it will cause them to be weak. The decrease in physique can also cause organ failure. At that time, not to mention survival, you might not even be able to maintain their basic rationality. Moreover, hunger truly doesn¡¯t feel good. ¡± With that, Bell walked along the vines to the ground. While the sky was not completely dark, he began to search for food in the rainforest. There were many species of animals and plants in the Amazon rainforest, but half of them were inedible. Because a large number of animals and plants were toxic. After walking around, Bell finally arrived beside a few palm trees. There were three palm trees here, and the tallest one was less than three meters tall. Taking out the dagger at his waist again, Bell began to cut. Bell said as he worked. ¡°This kind of palm tree is called Palmetto. Their hearts are edible. I tried this thing in Manaus City. This thing tasted good, but it was very expensive. The locals like to call them the king of vegetables. ¡± It was not difficult to cut down the palm trees. They were similar to banana trees, and most of the trunks were filled with fibers. Chapter 261 - One in a Ten Million Chance After peeling off the skin of the palm tree, Bell revealed its white palm heart, which was a little like a peeled sugarcane. Usually, the edible palm heart that could be obtained from a two-meter-tall palm tree was only about half a meter. It was as thick as a pigeon egg. Bell bit into it eagerly. A crisp sound came from his mouth. Bell looked like he was enjoying it. He could not help but give a thumbs up. ¡°I have to say that this taste is really good. After being here for three days, this is the first time I¡¯ve tasted something that I¡¯m satisfied with. Hearts of palm trees can be eaten as a fruit. I believe you all know from the sound that this thing tastes very crispy. It¡¯s a little like raw sweet potatoes, and they can give me some carbohydrates and vitamins.¡± Palm hearts were very expensive in the local market. Even here, in its native site, it could still be sold for 25 dollars a kilogram. Moreover, the ones bought at this price were all with their skin intact. In fact, it was already very good if they weighed half a kilogram after peeling off the skin. After a while, Bell cut down the three palm trees and devoured the palm hearts. Although this thing could replenish carbohydrates, it was not as practical as proteins. Moreover, it was difficult to fill his stomachs by eating these fruits and vegetables because most of them were made of water. It would quickly be metabolized in the human body. Protein was the first nutrition needed by the human body, especially in the wilderness. It was consumed almost every moment, so there was a high demand for this thing. For example, in a large proportion, meat eaters were stronger than vegetarians. Do not mention how elephants are stronger than lions and tigers. The difference in size was naturally incomparable. If a tiger and an elephant had the same size, a tiger of the same size would definitely kill an elephant instantly. As Bell finished his dinner, the sky gradually darkened. His vision was greatly hindered, so he dispelled the thought of continuing to search for food. In this dark forest, it was not wise to choose to hunt. It was too dangerous. Bell did not want to encounter a jaguar again. Bell returned to the shelter and climbed into his hammock. ¡°Dear audience, today¡¯s live broadcast is over. If there are any new friends, please subscribe. Let¡¯s meet again tomorrow. I am going to rest now.¡± Today, Bell turned off the live broadcast very suddenly. Many of the audience in the live-stream did not even react. In fact, Bell, who had turned off the live broadcast, was looking forward to something else. After confirming that his live-stream was closed, Bell brought up the system interface. He had already accumulated nearly 800,000 popularity points. This was the most popularity points Bell had ever seen. Although the Amazon rainforest looked dangerous now, the benefits it brought were unimaginable. After closing the live-stream, Bell rubbed his hands and eagerly transferred his popularity points. Until now, his luck was very good every time he drew the lucky draw. As long as he could maintain this heaven-defying luck, his strength would definitely increase by another level or even double. Bell couldn¡¯t help but feel excited. Looking at the special lucky draw interface, he started activating it. He looked like he was betting everything. The needle on the wheel quickly stopped. It was a light blue area that occupied a very small area in the entire wheel, like a needle. The lower the probability of the color, the better the prize would be, then wouldn¡¯t he have hit the jackpot this time? Bell almost fainted from happiness. The system¡¯s notification suddenly sounded in his mind. ¡°Congratulations to the host for obtaining special attribute points.¡± Hearing this, Bell could not suppress the smile on his face. If he drew such a small area and obtained 30 attribute points, wouldn¡¯t he be able to increase his strength to 40 points? He would instantly become Superman. He could even swagger around in the rainforest. With a nervous mood, Bell opened the personal attributes panel and looked at the stats column. Bell was stunned. His smile froze on his face and he could no longer smile. ¡°System, are you f*cking playing with me?¡± In his anger, Bell couldn¡¯t help but curse. The system did not disappoint Bell. As expected, it was still playing dead. There was an eye-catching number in his attribute bar: 1 free attribute point. If he remembered correctly, the system had said that the probability of obtaining such an attribute point was less than one in ten million. But now, he had drawn it. Bell could not tell if he was lucky or unlucky. It was a one in ten million chance that he would encounter it. But what the f*ck was this? Looking at the system interface, Bell cursed. However, the system seemed to be asleep. No matter how Bell cursed, it did not respond. At the same time, his earlier confidence was gone. At this moment, he was only nervous. Good lord, who knew if the system would do this again? If he drew such trash every time, he might really cry. With a nervous heart, Bell finally pressed the wheel again and began the draw. Looking at the rapidly spinning needle, Bell couldn¡¯t help but pray. ¡°Don¡¯t! Don¡¯t be unlucky again!¡± At this moment, Bell¡¯s eyes were fixed on the compass. He could not help but put his palms together and pray. If all the eight times were trash like the previous time, he would really vomit blood from anger. Finally, the needle on the wheel slowly stopped. This time, the needle did not stop at the blue area. However, the location of the needle was still very small. It was about the size of a thumb. Seeing this, Bell had a bad feeling when he recalled the earlier situation. Chapter 262 - Skill Upgrade He quickly checked. As expected, there were two free attributes. If the system were in front of Bell, Bell would definitely punch it without hesitation. ¡®F*ck, did you think it was easy for me to accumulate some popularity points for the lucky draw? Is it wasted just like that? Just two attribute points.¡¯ After two consecutive losses, Bell could not help but hesitate. This thing was really annoying. ¡°Is it because this is a bad time? Why don¡¯t I try again after a while?¡± Although he could not change his fate, Bell did not seem to have any other choice. Luck was the most magical thing. It was unknown when it would leave. But many times, it determined the fate of most people. Before he came to the Amazon rainforest, Bell had never been so anxious about his strength. But after being attacked by the black caiman and the jaguar, Bell knew that he needed to urgently increase his strength. If this continued, he could not guarantee that he would be able to walk out of this dangerous rainforest. After some thought, Bell decided to start the lucky draw again. In order not to be destroyed by the system, Bell decided not to pay attention to the rewards this time. He would watch after he used up all the popularity points. After a while, he finally finished the lucky draws. Bell was extremely nervous. He opened his personal attributes panel and checked the rewards. Name: Bell Age: 8 Height: 135cm Strength: 10 Physique: 11 Endurance: 12 Agility: 11 Free to distribute attribute points: 28 Available Skill Points: 8 Skills: Wilderness Hunter Intimidation Frost Bloodline Drum of War Extraordinary Physique Item: Purple Talent Crystal Fragment x1 Sun Armor Fragment x1 The eight lucky draws brought Bell a total of 26 free attribute points, eight skill points, a passive skill, and a special item. Bell focused on this skill called Extraordinary Physique. This was a passive skill, just like the Frost Bloodline he had drawn before. But its potential value shocked Bell. Extraordinary Physique: The host¡¯s body has increased recovery ability and increased resistance to poison and infections. The recovery speed of the skill is calculated according to the host¡¯s attributes. Perhaps with his current physique, this skill would not have a significant effect. But as he continued to grow, this skill would definitely be one of his strongest skills in the future. Its recovery speed would be terrifying. He remembered that he had seen an animation where a character had ultra rapid regeneration. He wondered if he would achieve the same effect when his stats increased. Of course, if that was the case, it would be a little unreal. He would probably be captured and cut up for research. Right now, he could clearly feel that the pain in his shoulder blade was gradually weakening. At the same time, a trace of coolness flowed through his shoulder blade. The numbness on the back of his neck also proved that his wound was constantly healing. This was definitely very terrifying for ordinary people. Looking at his stats, Bell decided to distribute his stats and skill points first. He could not be too anxious about this. He had to think carefully. Bell knew very well that it was not easy to obtain so many skill points. It would probably take a few months for the Discovery Channel¡¯s program to broadcast. Bell touched his chin and fell into deep thought. He had three active skills he could level up: Wilderness Hunter, Drum of War, and the Intimidation skill. Bell felt that he did not need to level up the Intimidation skill yet. Although the intimidation only lasted for a second, it would not increase by much after the upgrade. At most, it would increase by another second. This was not much of a difference to Bell. The victor could be determined in an instant. One second was enough. In the end, this was just a control skill. When danger came, being able to survive was already the limit of this skill. Moreover, in this dangerous rainforest, this skill¡¯s usage was very limited. After excluding the intimidation skill, Bell had two choices to make. But this still troubled Bell. The Wilderness Hunter skill was the first active skill he had obtained. Whether it was fighting with beasts or facing difficulties, this skill had brought him many conveniences. It could be said that this skill was not inferior to the Extraordinary Physique passive he had just obtained. It could increase all his stats. On the other hand, Drum of War skill seemed to conflict with his Wilderness Hunter skill to a certain extent. In that case, he had to make a decision. Bell made up his mind and added all eight skill points to the Wilderness Hunter skill. However, after a while, Bell was shocked to discover that his eight skill points could only increase the Wilderness Hunter skill by one level. Wasn¡¯t this a scam? He calmed the anger in his heart. ¡°System, you better give me a reasonable explanation!¡± The eight skill points had only increased the skill by one level. Who knew how many lucky draw chances he had spent on these eight skill points? Bell¡¯s mental fortitude was quite good to not lose his self-control at this time. According to his expectations, these eight skill points could at least raise his Wilderness Hunter skill to level four, and even increase the level of Drum of War. However, the result was completely out of his expectations. Perhaps because it had experienced Bell¡¯s feelings, the system finally spoke. ¡°Host, your Wilderness Hunter skill is golden skill. It is a rare level one skill. It costs five skill points to level up to level two. Every level increase consumes three times the skill points.¡± After hearing the system¡¯s words, Bell did not know what to say. ¡°Are you sure you¡¯re not joking?¡± He needed five points to level up from level one. Level 3 would require fifteen points. Who knew if this skill would level up again after level three? Then, he might not be able to gather the needed skill points even if he exhausted himself. The system¡¯s explanation made Bell very depressed. But after seeing the effect of the skill upgrade, Bell stopped pursuing this matter. Wilderness Hunter Skill (Active Skill) After the skill is activated, the user¡¯s agility, strength, physique, and endurance will increase by 30%. Duration: 40 seconds. Cooldown: 2 minutes. Chapter 263 - Sun Armor Fragment. Looking at the upgraded Wilderness Hunter skill, Bell felt relieved. The level 2 Wilderness Hunter skill increased all attributes by 10% more, and the duration was extended to 40 seconds. No matter what, this skill was indeed the skill that Bell relied on the most. This skill had helped him survive countless crises. As the level of this skill increased, the effect of this skill increased as well. Fortunately, he did not spend points on Drum of War first; otherwise, he might not have had enough to level up the Wilderness Hunter skill. It seemed like if he encountered any problems that he did not know about, he had to ask the system first. Otherwise, he would be easily tricked by it. Sighing, Bell could only forget about this to prevent it from affecting his mood. After all, it was not like he could not draw in the future. He still had 26 attribute points left. Bell had wanted to add all these attribute points to his strength. This way, his strength could reach nearly 40 points. According to his previous deduction, his strength might be comparable to a female black bear. If he punched the black caiman¡¯s head or heart with all his might, he would definitely kill it instantly. But when he thought of the jaguar he had fought three days ago, under the surprise attack of this jaguar, he almost did not even have the chance to fight back. It could be seen that speed was very important in the wilderness. After all, there were many creatures who were as fast as jaguars. If it was just increased strength, the effect would be much smaller. After thinking for a moment, Bell suddenly realized that he could not give up on any of the four attributes. Helpless, Bell chose the safest method and distributed the free points to all his attributes evenly. This way, all his attributes were close to twenty. When the Wilderness Hunter skill was activated, his attributes could directly exceed 20. After distributing the free attribute points, Bell felt a warm current flowing through his body. Every place the current passed through created a numb feeling in that spot. Clenching his fists, Bell felt the power that seemed to overflow from his body. His strength was nearly twice that of an ordinary person. This was definitely terrifying. Ordinary adult was already far weaker than him. Before Bell could experience the feeling properly, his stomach growled in hunger. Bell knew that because his attributes had increased greatly, the density of his muscles and the activity of his cells had increased. At the same time, the energy consumption had increased. The palm hearts he had eaten earlier could not offset this demand at all. At this moment, his body was like a baby bird waiting to be fed. He desperately needed nutrients. He remembered that his attributes had increased once on the deserted island, but this hunger now was several times stronger than before. Bell felt the gastric acid in his stomach churning, making him feel extremely uncomfortable. Fortunately, although his strength had increased, Bell did not lose his mind. He did not let down his guard because of the increase in his strength. Not only were there natural disasters like flash floods in this rainforest, wild animals like the green anaconda and jaguar still posed a threat to him. In the end, even if he activated the Wilderness Hunter skill, his current attributes were not even comparable to the black caiman. As for the five-meter-long green anaconda, it could easily kill him. It was easy for the adult green anaconda to kill a black caiman. If he was really caught, he would probably meet God. Similarly, there was nothing to say about the outcome of encountering a jaguar. Bell¡¯s chances of winning were less than 70%. If it was at night, his chance of winning would not even reach 20%. Many people would lose themselves after obtaining powerful strength, but as long as they calmed their thoughts and compared themselves to nature, they would immediately realize that they were still so minuscule. His four attributes had all crossed 17 points. He was indeed very powerful among humans, and had even exceeded the human limit to a certain extent. But in the natural world, it was nothing. Whether it was the Siberian tiger, the polar bear, or the Kodiak brown bear, these terrifying wild animals had at least 50 points in strength. The strength of the brown bear might even reach 70. The advantage of humans was not their bodies, but their smart brains and agile limbs. Bell could only endure his hunger and lie back in his hammock to divert his attention. At the same time, in order to ease his worries, Bell chose to check the special item. Sun Armor Fragment. Just the name alone showed that this thing was not simple. Moreover, it appeared in the form of a fragment. It was probably not weaker than the talent fragment he had drawn before. Bell couldn¡¯t help but look forward to it. He quickly opened his backpack and checked the attributes of this fragment. Sun Armor Fragment. Gathering ten fragments of the Sun Armor can be fused into the Sun Armor. You can make the armor invisible. The host can obtain extraordinary defense. Current number of fragments x1. If that was the case, this fragment was really a good thing. Extraordinary defense would undoubtedly be of great help to him in the wild. Moreover, the system¡¯s description of this fragment was very subtle. The word extraordinary caught Bell¡¯s attention. Ever since he had the system, the system¡¯s description of various skills and items was mostly super recovery or such. When describing this armor, it said that it had an extraordinary defense. Therefore, Bell believed that this thing was definitely terrifying. It was something to look forward to. Bell closed his eyes in satisfaction. Suppressing the hunger in his stomach, Bell fell asleep. Chapter 264 - River Again! The next morning, Bell shook his head and sat up in the hammock. He stretched and walked down the tree along the vines. Now that his stats had increased, he could choose to jump down from it. But to be safe, Bell decided to follow his previous routine and behave like before. After all, if he did not control himself well, he might break a few bones. With the principle that he would not die unless he courted death, Bell chose to follow the stable method. There was no flood last night unlike what he had expected. However, the rain still continued to fall. At this moment, there was a layer of water about five centimeters deep accumulated on the ground. Because the lucky draw yesterday was at night, Bell did not have time to adapt to the strength of his body. He was going to test and adapt to his strength now. Although a large increase in attributes was a good thing, it also had some side effects. One of them was that he lost perfect control of his body. This was not a good thing. In the wilderness, when fighting with wild beasts, every minute and second had to be calculated accurately. If he was not careful, he might suffer terrifying injuries. Therefore, he had to have precise judgment. Only after perfectly grasping his strength could he know how fast he could run, how high he could jump, and how strong his punches were. What was the maximum force he could release? These were very important. This determined the success rate of his hunt or escape. After an hour, Bell finally figured out his attributes. He already knew his approximate limits, but it would take some time for him to fully control his body. This cycle could be long or short, but Bell felt that he should be able to complete this cycle in a few days. Because he had drawn the Extraordinary Physique skill last night, after a night of recovery, the itch on the back of his neck was very obvious. If nothing went wrong, the injury on the back of his neck would heal by tomorrow. As for the bone fracture on the shoulder blade, it was a bone injury after all and could not recover so quickly. The Extraordinary Physique could speed up his recovery to a certain extent, but it did not give instant restoration. Bones needed to absorb the calcium and collagen in the human body to slowly recover from fractures. The only thing his Extraordinary Physique could do was shorten his recovery time. The most important thing was Bell¡¯s replenishment of calcium and collagen. If Bell did not replenish enough calcium and collagen, even the Extraordinary Physique would not be able to do anything. He touched his stomach and felt that the gastric acid was already surging due to hunger. Opening the live-stream, a large number of the audience instantly rushed in. Looking at the camera in the live-stream, Bell smiled. ¡°Friends, we have been in the Amazon rainforest for five days. We are getting closer and closer to civilization, but we have to be more vigilant. Let¡¯s set off again.¡± Stepping on the puddles, Bell began to move in the direction he had set, which was Manaus city. Along the way, the hunger in his stomach kept torturing him. It reminded him to replenish his food as soon as possible. Bell also wanted to find something to eat, but there was nothing edible in his surroundings. The further he walked, the lower the terrain became. At the same time, the water on the ground became deeper and deeper. The ground was almost filled with water, and the rainforest had already become a swamp. An hour later, the water in the rainforest had already reached Bell¡¯s waist. From the looks of it, the Amazon River should be not far away. As the water level rose, the river water spread to both sides. This was what caused this swamp. Bell walked slowly, his nerves tense. After all, no one knew what was hidden in this turbid water. The water level began to rise. At this moment, Bell felt something swim past his legs. With that touch, Bell was certain that it was definitely not wood, but a living creature. It was not small. With this judgment, Bell did not dare to act rashly. Bell quickly gestured for the audience to keep quiet and stood still. He frowned and said, ¡°Something seemed to have touched my leg just now. I can¡¯t be sure what it is yet. I just hope it¡¯s not an electric eel or a green anaconda.¡± Bell did not want to experience the feeling of being electrocuted by the electric eel again. Under normal circumstances, the electric eel would only release electric shocks when it was preyed on and sensed danger. The reason why Bell stood still was to not provoke the creature in the water. He stood there for nearly ten minutes. During this period, Bell did not feel anything touch his leg and heaved a sigh of relief. He was relieved and continued moving forward. From time to time, some fallen leaves or floating wood would brush past him. After walking for about half an hour, the water level was almost at Bell¡¯s chest. This half an hour journey was very difficult. It was not easy to walk in this rainforest. Occasionally, some protruding roots or floating wood would block his path. Now that his vision was blocked by the turbid river water, it was like feeling his way forward in the night. Holding a tree, Bell frowned and said, ¡°I think we should make a raft. If we continue like this, our speed will be too slow. Most importantly, it will be very dangerous. No one knows what is underwater.¡± Not far ahead was the Amazon River. It was clearly unrealistic to swim over like this. But there was a problem now. It was too difficult to make a raft on this water. Moreover, when he mentioned making the raft, Bell remembered his previous encounters. The people in the live-stream smiled meaningfully when they heard that Bell was planning to build another raft. ¡°Hahaha, I admire Bell¡¯s temper.¡± ¡°Come, let us witness Bell¡¯s performance.¡± ¡°A black stain in ship building history, losing every time.¡± ¡°It hasn¡¯t even begun, but I feel like the outcome is already decided.¡± ¡°I didn¡¯t believe in metaphysics in the past, but after seeing Bell, I believed it again.¡± Chapter 265 - Encounter With the Black Caiman Thinking back to the previous episodes, almost every raft he built would sink. Bell couldn¡¯t help but shiver. He did not believe in metaphysics. Of course, that was excluding the times when he needed to lucky draw. But after experiencing it a few times, Bell had to admit that the probability of him failing was indeed higher. There is a law in psychology called Murphy¡¯s Law. The general content was that if you were worried that something would happen, no matter how small the probability was, it might become a reality. Bell seemed to have fallen into this law. With the previous experiences, he no longer had much confidence in the raft. Was the probability of the raft sinking into the water high? It was actually not high. It could even be said to be infinitely close to zero. But in Murphy¡¯s Law, no matter how small the probability was, as long as it was greater than zero, it would happen. Bell shook his head. Forget it, it was better to play it safe. Just as Bell was about to give up, a thick piece of driftwood slowly floated past him. Seeing this floating wood, Bell¡¯s eyes lit up. He quickly followed and hugged it tightly. Bell realized that it was an Agathis wood. Agathis trees that could grow so thick were quite rare. Such thick trees could only be found in the Amazon rainforest. The Agathis tree that Bell was holding was a meter in diameter and about six meters long. The more Bell looked at it, the more satisfied he was. He patted the tree trunk and said with a smile. ¡°Not bad, this Agathis appeared at the right time.¡± ¡°I think we can use it to make a canoe.¡± ¡°That¡¯s right, you didn¡¯t hear wrongly. It¡¯s not a raft, but a canoe.¡± Bell emphasized the word. The audience was stunned before they reacted. ¡°Hahaha, Bell is terrified. Bell is actually terrified.¡± ¡°It¡¯s over. We won¡¯t be able to watch a good show this time.¡± He ignored the people complaining in the live-stream. The Agathis was very light, so even such a thick tree trunk still had enough buoyancy to float on the water. Looking carefully, Bell realized that the trunk of the Agathis was already showing signs of decay. The wood also became very soft. This was not a bad thing. At the very least, it was convenient for him to make a canoe. It could save him some energy. ¡°This Agathis is a very good tree. Its wood is light, and it also contains a kind of glue inside the trunk. This glue can be waterproof to a certain extent. ¡± It had been more than 6,000 years since the canoe was made. A good canoe could even travel hundreds of nautical miles. In some primitive tribes, canoes were still used. It was not difficult to make a simple canoe. Bell only needed to carve a space big enough to accommodate adults in the center of this tree trunk. Bell¡¯s dagger was very sharp and firm. In addition, the wood was already a little soft, so it was not difficult to cut it. It took Bell less than half an hour to cut out a half-meter wide and one meter long space in the center of the Agathis. Looking at his work, Bell nodded in satisfaction and carefully climbed in. Sitting in the canoe, Bell realized that it seemed to be tilting to the left. Seeing this, Bell immediately jumped down. This was within his expectations. It was reasonable for such a deviation to occur. After all, Bell was only doing it by hand. He did not have any experience or tools, so mistakes were inevitable. He had already sensed that the canoe was leaning to the left, so he could maintain his balance by installing another frame. Most of the time, it was not troublesome to make tools. As long as one thought about it, they would know what to do. Of course, this mainly tested an individual¡¯s ability. Bell looked around in the water. He was searching for some wooden sticks that were suitable to be used as support. When he sat on the canoe earlier, he realized that the canoe tilted very obviously, so the buoyancy requirement for the support was much higher. Suddenly, Bell saw a bamboo floating on the water not far ahead and was overjoyed. The buoyancy of bamboo was one of the best among all plants. It was very suitable to make an outboard frame. The water level ahead seemed to be getting deeper. When Bell walked to the bamboo, the water had already reached his chest. However, just as Bell was about to grab the bamboo, water suddenly splashed. A black figure suddenly jumped out of the water, opened its bloody mouth, and pounced at Bell. It was a black caiman that had been hiding here for a long time. This black caiman was less than three meters long. Compared to the ones Bell had encountered before, this one was not a big deal. It was unknown how this guy gathered the courage to attack Bell. Faced with the black caiman pouncing at him, Bell did not panic. Instead, he revealed a trace of excitement. The black caiman was indeed dangerous, but the current Bell was not the previous Bell. If not for the lucky draw a day ago, it would have been another difficult battle for Bell. Even if he really defeated this black caiman, he would be injured to some extent. But now, Bell¡¯s strength had more than doubled. Wilderness Hunter! Intimidation! Drum of War! With the help of the Wilderness Hunter skill, Bell¡¯s attribute points instantly exceeded 20. With the suppression of the Drum of War and the intimidation effect, the attributes of the black caiman decreased again and again. The aggressive black caiman immediately froze. Its movements slowed. Bell did not retreat. Instead, he took a step forward and took the initiative to meet the black caiman. Chapter 266 - Set Off! Bell turned his body slightly and dodged the attack of the black caiman. Then, he forcefully endured the weight of more than a hundred kilograms. Jiang Xiao held onto the chain on Nicholas ¡®back with one hand. Although he couldn¡¯t use his star techniques at such a close distance, endurance was a passive technique that was added to the physical fitness of a Star Warrior ¡­ This was a diamond quality endurance! You dare to hit my head? Jiang Xiao was immediately displeased and knocked his head against the wall! ¡°Swish!¡± Nicholas and Jiang Xiao¡¯s foreheads let out painful sounds! Nicholas ¡®body fell backward from the impact and he fainted on the sofa. Jiang Xiao grinned and thought, little brat, you¡¯re going against me? I, the king of toxic healers, don¡¯t have many strong points, but I¡¯m stubborn! ¡°Leader!¡± ¡°Enemy attack! Enemy attack!¡± The two bodyguards immediately rushed over and shouted. One of them was even a little petrified, but when he got close to the star power handcuffs, he turned back into a physical body. The chaos here attracted the attention of a few people, but in this chaotic and noisy occasion, most people on the dance floor didn¡¯t feel anything and were still playing wildly. One of the bodyguards held Jiang Xiao down tightly and began a close-range fight, while the other bodyguard hurriedly ran out with Nicholas. They had just run a few steps away when the star power handcuffs were far away from them. Hence, Jiang Xiao and the bodyguard who were fighting on the sofa had their star power back. With Bell¡¯s small body, he actually ate most of it. This scene also made the audience in the live-stream roll their eyes. Good lord, ordinary people could not compare to this appetite. Seeing that Bell had such an appetite, it was not surprising that Bell could easily subdue a black caiman. Bell did not eat quickly. Most of the crocodile meat was immediately digested. Otherwise, how could his stomach contain so much food? His attributes had increased greatly, causing Bell to urgently need to replenish his energy. After the cells and muscles in his body were satisfied, he would not be as hungry as he was now. He would only eat just a little more than normal people. Bell heaved a sigh of relief when he felt full. The feeling of hunger was really unbearable. Bell understood why some hungry people would choose to eat tree bark and soil during the famine. Because when a person was really hungry to the extreme, they would lose their rationality. It was not strange for a human to become a beast. After filling his stomach, Bell began to work. He pulled a vine from a tree and found a wooden stick as thick as an arm. With the bamboo pole as the main body, he firmly fastened the frame to his canoe. After this series of operations, the canoe looked like a square. After Bell climbed up, the canoe floated steadily on the water. Bell was very satisfied with this. He patted his work and smiled. ¡°Does everyone see this? The canoe is completed. Now, we just need to find something to use as an oar to start sailing. With this canoe, I believe our speed can increase by several times.¡± After a few minutes, Bell made a simple paddle and the canoe began to move forward. The trees in the rainforest were very dense, making Bell have to adjust the angle of the canoe from time to time. Fortunately, as Bell continued to exert strength, the vision ahead gradually widened, and the trees became sparse. Bell knew that this was because he was about to enter the Amazon River. After another half an hour, there were no more trees around. There was only some turbid river water. At this moment, Bell noticed three otters squatting on a thick tree not far away. Chapter 267 - Diagonal Crossing Seeing Bell, the three otters widened their eyes and looked at Bell¡¯s canoe with interest. However, the three of them did not take the initiative to approach. Although these otters looked very honest and looked extremely cute when they opened their eyes, Bell knew their true appearance. ¡°Don¡¯t be fooled by these guys¡¯ appearance.¡± ¡°It has a very famous nickname in Amazon. They are called river wolves. Just from this name, you can be sure that their personalities are not as docile as their looks. If you are deceived by their appearance and approach them, you will definitely pay a heavy price. They are very cruel and cunning. An adult giant otter can even grow to two meters long, and have sharp fangs. Moreover, they are like a pack of wolves. They know how to cooperate. ¡± While Bell was talking, his canoe was getting closer and closer to the three otters. Bell also tensed up, not daring to underestimate these guys. Bell¡¯s eyes turned cold as he stared at the three otters. Even the audience in the live-stream noticed the change in Bell. Although killing intent could not be seen or touched, everyone felt the presence of this thing at this moment. Although Bell had never killed anyone, he had hunted many wild animals. He did not hunt them from afar with guns, but in close combat The beast¡¯s sharp sixth sense made the otters sense danger and immediately shrink back. Seeing that the otters were intimidated by him, Bell did not dare to delay. He quickly rowed the canoe away from the three dangerous little guys. If it were on land, Bell was confident that he would not have a problem fighting ten of them. But in the water, these three could already pose a fatal threat to him. These otters were very agile in the water and could use tactics. In addition, beasts were stronger than humans. Even if he had to fight the black caiman, Bell did not want to encounter these guys. If one were to ask the level of their smartness, these little things actually knew how to use tools. They had learned to use rocks to break open the shellfish to eat the meat inside. After rowing for a while, Bell looked back and realized that the three otters really had no intention of following him. This made Bell heave a sigh of relief. He said to the live-stream again. ¡°Actually, in the Amazon rainforest, although jaguar, black caiman, and green anaconda are at the top of the food chain, there is a special group in the water who is not afraid of these three top predators. They are otters.¡± ¡°A lone otter might not be strong, but they usually move in groups. With tactics, no one would dare to provoke them. Even black caiman might fall to them sometimes. With their advantage in speed, they will choose to play with the black caiman until its stamina is exhausted. Then, they will prey upon it.¡± Just as Bell said this, the water in front gradually became rapid. Bell knew that he was close to the Amazon River. This also made him tense up. If he failed here, it would really be troublesome. Crash ~ The sound of water flowing kept coming from ahead of Bell. White waves could be seen rolling in the water from a distance. Bell took a deep breath and began to adjust the angle of the canoe. Bell chose the same method as before to cross this river zone. He was going to cross it in a zigzag manner. This was the safest method. If he crossed the river in a straight line, the violent water would easily crush the canoe. The broken line caused by the large waves hitting the water caused Bell¡¯s canoe to rise and fall. After rowing for a while, Bell was surprised to find that his canoe was safe and sound in this water. Of course, most of the credit went to the external bamboo frame he had made. Its existence greatly increased the contact area between the canoe and the water, reducing the impact. It was no wonder that the Siberians would install external support on their canoes. What worried Bell now was the vines tying the bamboo. This thing might become loose under the impact of the water and fall off. The audience in the live-stream watched as Bell kept moving up and down in the canoe. They couldn¡¯t help but worry for Bell. But in such a dangerous situation, Bell¡¯s canoe did not overturn. This was unbelievable. ¡°F*ck, is Bell going to create a miracle this time?¡± ¡°This doesn¡¯t make sense. Why hasn¡¯t this thing sunk yet? Is Bell¡¯s innate skill useless against the canoe?¡± ¡°Didn¡¯t Bell say he was going to cross the river diagonally? Why do I feel like he is floating down?¡± Looking at the turbulent river, Bell was full of adrenaline. At the same time, he did not forget to glance at the audience in the live-stream. Seeing the comments in the live-stream, Bell answered generously. ¡°Crossing the river diagonally is a skill. The angle at which we choose to move diagonally depends on the turbulence level of the river. The more turbulent the river water is, the lower the diagonal line would be. Otherwise, the cross-section of the hull will be knocked over by the waves. ¡± The angle Bell chose was between 20 to 30 degrees. Because there were no tools, Bell could not measure it perfectly. He could only make a rough guess. Because the water level was constantly rising, the surroundings were already submerged in the water. Of course, the distance he had to cross was less than twenty meters long. Under normal circumstances, it would take less than three minutes to cross this distance. But because Bell had chosen a relatively safe method, the journey became longer. This way, the time spent might increase by ten times. Bell floated in the rapid river for more than half an hour before gradually leaving the turbulent river. Chapter 268 - Bell Under Attention What really excited Bell was that he passed unscathed. To be precise, he passed unscathed in this canoe. This felt quite nice. ¡°Haha, that¡¯s great. Look, in this turbulent river, we still passed in the canoe! I really love this canoe. If not for the fact that it is too big to carry, I would definitely bring it back for collection. ¡± Bell revealed a regretful expression. Holding this regret, Bell quickly entered the calm water. Then, Bell continued to paddle slowly into the rainforest. Riding on the canoe was indeed much faster than walking. Bell felt that if he was lucky, he would probably be able to return to the civilized world by tomorrow. This made him look forward to it. The intuition of wild animals had always been very sharp. Every year, the rainy season would cause a large number of flash floods. Before this happened, animals would usually sense it. Therefore, they would move to higher terrain in advance. Bell rode the canoe slowly. The usual sounds of insects and birds could no longer be heard in the quiet rainforest. In this environment, Bell was naturally not worried about the jaguar¡¯s attack. The predators on land had long run to higher ground before this situation occurred. At this moment, there was only the sound of rain hitting the water and leaves. Bell rode the canoe for nearly two hours before the water level finally began to decrease. Through the layers of obstacles, Bell could already vaguely see some dead leaves on the ground. ¡°Alright, the water level ahead is getting lower and lower. We can¡¯t continue to slack off in the canoe.¡± Bell jumped out of the canoe. Then, he patted the canoe and sighed. ¡°This thing has really helped me a lot today. Moreover, it is indeed memorable. This is the only ship that hasn¡¯t sunk since I started recording.¡± ¡°It turns out that making and using a canoe suits me more.¡± Hearing Bell¡¯s words, the audience in the live-stream teased again. Carrying his backpack, Bell continued forward. The terrain of the rainforest behind him was clearly lower. The closer they were to Manaus, the higher the terrain would be. It was also because of the terrain that the city was safe. Otherwise, just resisting the annual flash floods would probably cause a lot of trouble for the city. Bell finally stepped on the ground covered in dead leaves. This touch made Bell heave a sigh of relief. This feeling of stepping on the ground was really awesome. With joy, he quickened his pace. He was anxious to return home. Bell¡¯s mood was quite good right now. There were still two to three hours before nightfall. Walking in the forest, Bell looked around to see if there was a place for him to build a shelter. At this moment, Bell still did not know that Li Ze had posted a compilation of his shocking feats online. The video caused a huge commotion in the industry of extreme sports. It could even be said to have caused a sensation. Of course, it also attracted the attention of some special people. In a spacious and bright classroom. Zhang Weiguo¡¯s expression was solemn. At this moment, he was sitting in his chair and staring at the screen in front of his computer. As the second-in-command of the General Administration of Sports, he usually maintained a dignified image and rarely showed this expression. ¡°Chief Zhang, after our examination, the cliff this child crossed should be 11 to 12 meters wide. Although his final landing point is not that far, it still exceeds ten meters. It has completely surpassed the 8.95 meters record set by McBowell 25 years ago.¡± A technician reported to Zhang Weiguo excitedly. ¡°Is it possible that he took stimulants?¡± Hearing the reports of his subordinates, Zhang Weiguo was a bit worried. The staff was stunned. Then, he explained. ¡°Impossible. The effect of the doping drug is not so exaggerated. It can only stimulate the nerves and maximize the effect of the human body. It can¡¯t increase the length of the jump. Moreover, from the second half of the video, there are no signs of this child taking stimulants. ¡± ¡°Good, this is great!¡± After hearing this conclusion, Zhang Weiguo slammed the table excitedly and stood up abruptly. The excitement on his face could no longer be concealed. He could not be blamed for being so excited. China had always been at a disadvantage in the track and field events. Although China had received more and more medals in the Olympics, if one observed carefully, they would realize that most of these medals had technical aspects, such as table tennis, gymnastics, and diving. Although these projects had a high requirement for physique, they placed more importance on technique. Even China had to admit that they were weak in sports like track and field that relied on physical strength. From the start of the Olympics to now, they had only won five gold medals in the track and field events. Four of them were in women¡¯s events. Moreover, it was obtained from the long-distance running event. It was also because of this that Asians were widely known to have weak physiques. It had been twelve years since they had won the gold medal in track and field. How could Zhang Weiguo not be excited when such a good seedling suddenly appeared? He did not even need Bell to jump ten meters like in the video. Such an achievement could only be achieved once in one¡¯s life. This was the result of a peak level mentality and physical condition. Other than that, the environment itself could have made a difference, or it could even be related to the humidity in the air. But this was not important now. Because Bell¡¯s best result was over ten meters. In other words, even if Bell¡¯s condition fell and he could not create that feat again, he could still win a gold medal after training. He would even easily break the 25-year world record. When the time came, Bell would definitely shock the contestants from other countries. Chapter 269 - Fishing! At the thought of this, Zhang Weiguo felt his blood boil. He couldn¡¯t care less and quickly made a call. However, before he could press the call button, the technician beside him quickly replied. ¡°Chief, don¡¯t be anxious. I¡¯m not done yet.¡± Hearing the technician say this, Zhang Weiguo was stunned for a moment before reprimanding. ¡°You¡¯re already so old, why are you stuttering? If you have something to say, say it quickly!¡± The technician curled his lips helplessly. She had long understood her leader¡¯s temper. Moreover, the two of them were not just subordinates. The technician said with a serious expression. ¡°According to the first half of the video, Bell¡¯s leg muscles have extremely strong burst power. It is also because of this that he could create such a good result. According to my estimation, Bell might be able to finish a hundred-meter sprint in less than ten seconds.¡± ¡°I want an accurate answer! Also, tell me the exact data. ¡± Zhang Weiguo was so excited that his tone changed. The staff touched her eyes and said. ¡°There are a total of twelve scenes of Bell sprinting over a short distance throughout this edited video. The longest one was his sprint in Australia which was a distance of 75 meters long. From the start to the jump, it took 7.68 seconds. If his condition did not fall, Bell¡¯s speed should be a hundred meters in less than 9.85 seconds. Considering the terrain at that time, it should have affected his speed to a certain extent. If it were on the track, this speed would increase a little. ¡± Hearing this, Zhang Weiguo was completely stunned. He made a decision. No matter what, he had to invite Bell to the national team before the Rio Olympics. This was definitely a trump card. Even if Bell was not old enough, if he was nurtured for two years, he would be able to dominate the Olympics. Thinking of this, Zhang Weiguo could not hold it in anymore. He quickly walked out of the office and instructed his assistant. ¡°Go to Shanghai immediately!¡± Zhang Weiguo was excited. What he did not know was that their conclusion was based on Bell¡¯s previous physique. The current Bell would completely refresh their understanding of limits. All of his attributes had increased by almost seven points. When his skill was activated, his stats could even exceed 20. If Bell ran 100 meters with all his might, he could casually finish it within eight seconds. He could easily leap across 11 meters or even 14 meters. At this moment, Bell was still in the rainforest, weaving thick and long vines for his shelter. But because these vines were too thick, it took a lot of effort for Bell to tie them. Fortunately, Bell had enough strength, so after a while, he still tied a dead knot. After doing all this, Bell heaved a sigh of relief. At the same time, he could not help but regret it. ¡°We should have brought those rattan from yesterday. We wouldn¡¯t have to spend so much effort today.¡± The water vines in front of Bell were very hard. Lying on them was not as comfortable as lying on the rattan. Bell said as he jumped down from a height of three meters and patted the soil on his hand. ¡°Alright, now that our shelter is built, we have to look for our dinner.¡± Hearing that Bell was going to search for food, the audience in the live-stream could not help but look stunned. What kind of appetite was this? Bell had already eaten more than ten kilograms of crocodile meat at noon, and now he was eating more meat. ¡°Bell¡¯s appetite is too big.¡± ¡°Oh my god, can a normal person eat so much?¡± ¡°I think Bell might have endless space in his stomach.¡± ¡°Bell, you¡¯ve already eaten more than ten kilograms of meat this afternoon. Have you forgotten?¡± ¡°No wonder Bell has such strength at such a young age. If I could eat like this, I would be able to do it too.¡± ¡°Previous poster, stop dreaming. Finish the food in your bowl first.¡± Looking at the comments in the live-stream, Bell did not explain. They did not know what was going on with him, and only he knew about his own body. Most of the crocodile meat he had eaten before was used to stabilize his strengthened attributes. In fact, not much had converted into energy. Moreover, as his attributes increased, the consumption also increased. Walking in the rainforest, Bell was really looking forward to meeting another black caiman. His body became stronger, and his mentality naturally changed. With his current attributes, he did not have to be as timid as before. After walking for about a hundred meters, Bell quickly arrived at an area filled with bushes. He also found a river. Of course, it was not a wide river. It was just a small river that was less than two meters long. If he was not wrong, this should be a tributary of the Amazon River. The river water was still very turbid, and it was impossible to see what was inside. Seeing this, Bell found a tree branch and explained to the audience. ¡°When you are in the same environment as me and encounter such a situation where you can¡¯t see the bottom of the river, I suggest you not to rashly enter the water. We can find a stick and constantly stir the water. This way, if there is anything hidden in the water, they will be frightened and start to move. ¡± As Bell continued to stir the mud at the bottom of the river, the river became even more turbid. However, at this moment, a splashing sound suddenly came from the turbid river. The small fish were also frightened and quickly swam downstream. A few small fish swam out of the water. Bell acutely noticed that these small fish were the red-bellied pacu he had introduced before. Red-bellied pacu were timid. Most of the time, they would not attack humans. But if they were hungry, they would become extremely ferocious. Fortunately, unless there were more than ten red-bellied pacu, they would not be able to bite people to death. Unless a major artery was accidentally bitten. But even so, it was better not to provoke these guys, because their bite could easily tear off a piece of flesh from a person¡¯s body. Seeing such a dangerous creature in the water, Bell felt that it was better not to go down to hunt. Of course, he did not plan to let go of this delicious meal. Bell pulled back the wooden stick and took out the dagger at his waist, quickly transforming the wooden stick into a harpoon. To increase the success rate of his capture, Bell split the front of the wooden stick into eight sharp spikes. This way, when he attacked, the attack range would be larger, increasing the success rate. After finding a thin vine and fixing the tip of the harpoon, Bell began to stir the river like before. Crash! Crash! The frightened pacu swam randomly again. Bell quickly looked at the ripples caused by the pacu swimming on the water and stabbed with the harpoon. Chapter 270 - : Return Journey The harpoon shot into the water like an arrow. However, when Bell pulled out the harpoon, there was no sign of the red-bellied pacu. Bell was not discouraged. These red-bellied pacu swam very quickly, and it was very difficult to stab them. Seeing that the water was calm again, Bell repeated his previous actions. After a few tries, Bell finally stabbed a red-bellied pacu. This pacu was not particularly big, only the size of an adult¡¯s palm. The tip of the harpoon pierced through the piranha¡¯s body, but it was not dead yet. Its mouth full of teeth kept opening and closing. He placed the red-bellied pacu in front of the camera. Bell took out the dagger and placed it in the piranha¡¯s mouth. There was a clang. The piranha suddenly closed its mouth and bit the back of the dagger. Seeing this, Bell retracted his dagger. ¡°I believe everyone saw it just now. Even though this red-bellied pacu¡¯s body is pierced, it still has such a terrifying bite force. If it bit you directly, it would probably tear off a piece of meat effortlessly.¡± He cut off the head and tail of the piranha with the dagger, leaving only the white fish meat. He bit down without hesitation. ¡°This red-bellied pacu has a good point as well. As long as the head and intestines are removed, the remaining parts can be eaten. ¡± Bell said as he chewed. Of course, he did not forget to spit out the small fish bones. ¡°To be honest, I miss the electric eel we ate before. That thing not only tastes delicious, but most importantly, it doesn¡¯t have thorns.¡± Although Bell said that he did not like it much, he still finished all the fish meat. But because the pacu was too small, Bell could not fill his stomach with it. The sky was gradually turning dark, and he had to return to the shelter. Bell said as he walked in the forest and looked at the dark rainforest. ¡°It gets dark very fast in the rainforest. There was once a backpacker who traveled alone in the tropical rainforest of Vietnam. I remember that there should be videos of it. He was only fishing by the river less than a hundred meters away from his tent. When the sky gradually darkened, he did not choose to return immediately. In the end, the sky turned completely dark in just a few minutes. In such a dark forest, this guy was very unlucky. He got lost and could not find his tent. By the time the rescue team found him, it was already the afternoon of the next day. This guy actually deviated from his tent for a full kilometer. ¡± While talking, Bell had already climbed up the tree trunk to his shelter. He lay on his hammock woven with vines. His heart was filled with thoughts. He couldn¡¯t help but think of home. Was Reserve Food being obedient? Being alone in the wilderness was also a torture. You had to learn to endure. Of course, you did not need to deliberately do it. As time passed, you would naturally learn it. Bell used his backpack as a pillow and turned to look at the live broadcast camera. ¡°It¡¯s already the fifth day since we came to the Amazon rainforest. We should be able to return to the civilized world tomorrow. There were many twists and turns this time. This is the first time I¡¯ve been so seriously injured. Actually, I didn¡¯t tell everyone before that if the wound on the back of my neck was a centimeter deeper, I would have to be treated immediately.¡± The jaguar was extremely strong. The injury on his shoulder blade was actually very dangerous. It had almost caused a bone fracture. Only Bell knew the danger. ¡°Many times, survival is like this. In the process of survival, you will encounter many difficulties. Of course, after you succeed in survival, you will realize that you have gained a lot. ¡± This time, Bell did not tease the audience in the live-stream, nor did he give them any chicken soup for the soul. ¡°Alright, stop being vigilant. We¡¯ll stop the talk here. I¡¯m going to rest now.¡± With that, Bell smiled and closed the live-stream. The Extraordinary Physique skill finally allowed him to break free from the pain of his previous injuries. His shoulder blades were not emitting waves of pain like before. Instead, there was a comfortable chill. Listening to the rain, Bell gradually fell asleep. Early in the morning. It was a sunny morning in the Amazon rainforest. Bell opened his eyes and was surprised. It had been many days since he had seen such weather. The rain had stopped last night. The weather was good. In addition, he was about to return to the civilized world, so his mood naturally improved. Sitting up, Bell stretched and jumped out of the hammock. At the same time, he did not forget to open his live-stream. A large number of people rushed in. At this moment, Bell was carrying his backpack. He was preparing to start today¡¯s journey. ¡°Everyone, you are seeing it, right? Today¡¯s weather is quite good. The heavy rain has finally stopped. We can¡¯t waste this good weather. We have to hurry up. It will be best if we can return to the civilized world today. Let¡¯s set off. ¡± Chapter 271 - Native! Perhaps because they knew that Bell¡¯s adventure in Amazon was about to end, the audience in the live-stream was very active. They kept asking Bell questions. The closer they were to Manaus City, the less dangerous it would be. Because this area was already a tourist area. Dangerous creatures like jaguars and black caiman had long been cleaned up. Therefore, Bell relaxed a little. He focused more on answering. ¡°The entire Amazon rainforest is huge. There are more than a hundred native tribes of various sizes. Of course, this does not include some secluded tribes that have yet to be discovered.¡± ¡°Most of the 100 or so indigenous tribes have been assimilated by the civilized world. Only five tribes still maintain their primitive habits. They live in the hinterland of the Amazon rainforest, isolated from the world. It is also because of this that they are not assimilated by modern society. ¡± Bell frowned as he said this. ¡°Actually, if there¡¯s no need, I¡¯m not willing to interact with those native tribes. Language barrier is only a part of the problem. The most important thing is that when you communicate with them, you don¡¯t even know if your actions will suddenly offend their inexplicable rules.¡± ¡°In the minds of these natives, there is no law or morality. Even if you are killed, no one will hold them responsible. ¡± In the current world, such an isolated tribe seemed to be an independent existence. Bell had once seen a news article about a British photographer who had taken a helicopter to the Amazon rainforest. In the end, the helicopter malfunctioned halfway and the pilot and photographer had to parachute to survive. The place where their parachutes landed was the location of an indigenous tribe. In the end, because of the pattern on the photographer¡¯s T-shirt, the primitive tribes thought that this was an insult to their ancestors and cruelly killed him. Fortunately, the pilot was driven out of the tribe. Otherwise, no one would have known about this. Three days later, the rescue team found the pilot. What was even more shocking was that the court did not register this murder. The reason was simple. The primitive tribes refused to integrate into the civilized world. They could not be judged by the moral standards of the civilized world, let alone restrained by the law. It was something like their rules were their rules. When Bell heard this news, he also found it unbelievable. After all, in this world, the only people who were not punished for killing were mental patients. But now, there was another type of people, which was the primitive indigenous tribes. As time passed, the trees in the rainforest began to thin. Of course, this was not caused by nature. Instead, traces of man-made cutting could be seen. Brazil¡¯s timber export industry was huge. A large portion of the wood was sold to the United States. The source of so much wood was naturally the Amazon rainforest. At this moment, there were thick tree stumps everywhere. Sitting on a tree stump, Bell rested for a moment. He looked ahead and said, ¡°According to my estimation, we should encounter some Indians after walking for about ten kilometers. The Indians are like the Inuit. They have long been assimilated by civilized society. More than 80% of the tour guides in Manaus City are Indians. Their daily lives depend on the government¡¯s help and being a guide in the local area.¡± Most of the Amazon Indians were in Brazil. Their current situation was actually very similar to the Inuit. But the more intelligent Inuit had already begun to move to the city. Most of the people who still lived in the rainforest relied on government relief. But even so, their lives were still much better than before. The tourism industry was advanced now, and a large number of tourists came here every year to experience the mystery and excitement of the primeval forest. The famous Indians were naturally sought after by everyone. Many of the local tourists would buy some traditional handicrafts from the Indians. This was also a source of income for them. Under the hot sun, the temperature in the rainforest rose rapidly. At noon, it could even reach 35 ¡ãC. Bell rested for a moment and did not delay. He stood up and prepared to set off again. Because a large number of trees had been cut down and there were not many trees to block the sun, Bell was already covered in sweat. Even so, Bell did not forget to chat with the audience in the live-stream. After moving for about an hour, a few wooden houses appeared in front of Bell. Not far from the wooden houses, there were a few Indian women washing clothes. They were chatting with a smile while washing. From the looks of it, they were not much different from the modern women. The few of them were not too surprised to see Bell. They only revealed a trace of curiosity, not understanding why a child like Bell would walk out of the rainforest. ¡°Do you see that? The women in front of us are Indians, but they have long entered the civilized society. There are all kinds of appliances in the house.¡± Bell walked closer. At this moment, Bell saw an old pickup truck parked in front of one of the wooden houses. It was unknown how many years this car had been used. The paint on the outside had already begun to fall off, revealing the rusty body of the car. Bell suddenly remembered that when he escaped from Shennongjia, the ranger¡¯s truck seemed to be similar. In fact, not only did Bell feel this way, but even some of the audience in the live-stream felt the same. Bell quickly walked toward a hut. He asked tentatively. ¡°Is anyone there?¡± A burly man walked out to take a look and said in broken English, ¡°There¡¯s nothing left to sell here.¡± Bell was stunned. Then, he realized that this uncle was treating him as a tourist who was buying traditional handicrafts. This was indeed a phenomenon that is not common elsewhere in Brazil. Many Brazilians did not speak English. Because this was once a Portuguese colony. Therefore, Portuguese was their main language. The interesting thing was that the proportion of the Indians who knew English was higher than the native Brazilians. This was mainly because they had to deal with tourists from all over the world. Originally, Bell¡¯s English was not good, but he had gained the language proficiency skill. Therefore, it was not a problem to communicate. ¡°I¡¯m not here to buy handicrafts. I want to ask if you can drop me off at Manaus City.¡± Afraid that the other party did not understand, Bell gestured with his hand. However, this uncle in front of him was clearly not easy to get along with. He did understand the meaning, and he understood it very well. The man stretched out a palm. ¡°Five hundred dollars!¡± Chapter 272 - Cunning Indian Seeing the other party like this, Bell was so angry that he laughed. This place was only 30 kilometers away from Manaus City, but this guy actually asked for 500 USD. Bell did not care about 500 USD. After all, his normal expenses far exceeded this amount. However, this attitude of clearly wanting to cheat made him very unhappy. Bell was not a racist. He knew that there were both good and bad in every country. There was no harm without comparison. He thought of the Inuit who had welcomed him warmly. And then, he looked at this buff Indian. Perhaps it was because of the government¡¯s years of support and the indulgence of the tourists that they became like this. Bell liked to make friends. But facing this Indian, he felt that it was better to forget it. He was not even interested in staying for a minute longer. Bell shook his head and prepared to leave. Seeing that Bell did not agree and was about to leave, the burly Indian immediately revealed a ferocious appearance. He called into the house. Two burly Indians walked out of the wooden house and surrounded Bell. ¡°Kid, five hundred dollars!¡± The burly man walked to Bell with a fierce expression. He looked down at Bell and spoke in some native language that Bell did not understand. But seeing the other party¡¯s skilled movements, Bell knew that this was definitely not the first time these people had done this. As Bell had expected, this was not the first time these guys had blackmailed tourists. Especially a child like Bell who came alone. Normally, handicrafts worth just ten dollars would be sold for hundreds or even thousands of dollars by them. Some beautiful female tourists would even be harassed by them. Bell had yet to close the live-stream. The audience was also extremely angry. Originally, they had sympathy for these Indians and thought that their lives were difficult. But this sympathy was gone. Of course, no one was worried for Bell. Although these three burly men looked terrifying, they were still not a threat to Bell. Bell could kill jaguars and black caiman with his bare hands. This was not an ordinary child, but a humanoid Tyrannosaurus. ¡°Sure enough, there are really people who are not afraid of death.¡± ¡°Yes, the Indians are very brave.¡± ¡°As expected, people don¡¯t die unless they seek death.¡± ¡°F*ck, I was scammed the last time I went there. He asked me for a few hundred for something that cost just ten dollars. I was even forced to buy it!¡± ¡°There are really people who fell for it.¡± ¡°Previous poster, wait for Bell to avenge you.¡± ¡°The path of these Indians is narrow.¡± Bell did not pay attention to the comments, but he was starting to get angry. These guys could no longer be described as just shameless. Since he could not reason with them, there was no need to be polite. Bell punched the Indian in the stomach. Originally, when these guys saw that Bell was only a child, they were prepared to force him to take out money. But before they could force him further, Bell had already attacked. Instantly, an intense pain came from his abdomen. It almost made him faint. The burly man fell to the ground like a limp shrimp, holding his stomach and constantly wailing. Bell did not activate his skill or even use his full strength. Otherwise, with his 17 points of strength, the Indian¡¯s internal organs might collapse. If the Indian died, Bell would not be able to avoid being jailed. It was better to avoid trouble outside his country. Bell¡¯s actions were too fast. After the burly man fell to the ground, the two Indians beside him had yet to react. Bell did not hold back. He threw two more punches, and the two burly men followed in the first Indian¡¯s footsteps. With Bell¡¯s terrifying strength, he did not even need to use any combat techniques. It was a complete suppression. There was a reason for the saying that strength could defeat all techniques. Looking at the three Indians lying on the ground, Bell gave them the middle finger before leaving. Bell was too fast. It was not until he left that the nearby Indians reacted. Some Indians wanted to chase after Bell, but when they thought of Bell¡¯s fierce expression, they immediately extinguished this thought and stopped. Only when Bell completely disappeared from everyone¡¯s sight did the other Indians dare to help the three of them up. Although Bell had not used his full strength just now, he wanted to teach these three people a lesson. With the strength he used just now, these three would probably have to rest for a few days. If he was in the rainforest, Bell would probably have to walk for another day or two to cross 30 kilometers of distance. However, he was already close to Manaus City. He only needed four to five hours to reach it. After walking for a while, a slightly muddy road appeared in front. While walking, Bell did not forget to explain to the audience in the live-stream. ¡°In Manaus City, the security is very chaotic. One of the main reasons is that transportation is not convenient. In addition, we are in the middle of the Amazon. If people from other cities want to come here, they have to take the plane. Most of the roads in the countryside are earthen roads like this. The Brazilian government does not have enough money to build roads. Secondly, because of the weather here, even if a road was built, its lifespan would not be long. The saying that if you want to get rich, build a road first, is quite logical.¡± Bell did not see any cars along the way. But because of the live broadcast equipment, he could chat with the audience in the live-stream, so he did not feel bored. He continued until evening when he finally saw some buildings. He understood that he was about to reach the city. ¡°Alright, everyone, this episode of wilderness survival is over. I will inform everyone on Weibo in advance before the next stream. But it might take a while. ¡± The fans in the live-stream expressed their understanding. They knew that Bell was injured this time, so it was normal to rest for a while. Chapter 273 - Invitation From the Sports Bureau Looking at the comments in the live-stream, Bell was touched. ¡°This episode is the greatest challenge I have encountered so far. But fortunately, we succeeded in conquering it. Trust me, our footsteps will not stop here. Let¡¯s look forward to our next meeting.¡± The morning sunlight in Shanghai was much better than in the Amazon rainforest. But at this moment, Bell was lying on the bed. If not for the itchy feeling on his face, he would still be immersed in sleep. Roar! On the bed, Little Reserve Food kept jumping around Bell. It was very happy to see Bell again. Bell got up and lifted it up by grabbing the back of its neck. But even so, it could not stop Reserve Food from rubbing against Bell. Seeing this, Bell was helpless. At the same time, he knew that he would not be able to sleep in. He got dressed and went downstairs. Li Ziqi, Scarlett, and the others had already prepared breakfast. They were not as busy as before. Clearly, the video platform was on the right track. ¡°How are your injuries?¡± Scarlett Johansson asked with concern. Li Ziqi also looked over. It was quite late when Bell returned yesterday. They knew that Bell was very tired, so they could not bear to disturb him. After seeing Bell wake up, they immediately asked about his injuries. Bell wolfed down a fried egg and said in a muffled voice. ¡°No issues.¡± But Scarlett and the others clearly did not believe it. After seeing Bell¡¯s terrifying wound, the few of them covered their mouths in shock. There was a trace of heartache in their eyes. Fortunately, there was no infection. This was a blessing in disguise. After some instructions, they skipped this topic. The sumptuous breakfast was quickly finished. To be precise, most of the breakfast fell into Bell¡¯s stomach. The other women barely ate anything. Looking at Bell¡¯s appetite, the few of them were shocked speechless. They were sure that Bell did not eat so much before. ¡°Did you notice that Bell seems to have grown much taller?¡± Scarlett suddenly said. Hearing her say this, Li Ziqi, Keira, and the others also noticed this. ¡°Now that you mention it, it really feels like Bell has grown much taller. If we didn¡¯t know that Bell is only eight years old, I wouldn¡¯t believe it even if you beat me to death.¡± Bell was shocked when he heard their words. The increase in his attributes seemed to have really made his body grow a lot. However, back then, he was too tense to pay attention to these things. Now, after their reminder, he finally realized it. After returning to the house, Bell became much more lazy. He wanted to rest for a while before going to the hospital to do a checkup. Just as he lay on the sofa, the phone rang again. Looking at the caller ID, Bell couldn¡¯t help but roll his eyes. ¡°Does she want to stick to me or what?¡± That¡¯s right, it was the beautiful host again. Although he was complaining, Bell still picked up. ¡°Sister, your timing is really good.¡± Hearing the dissatisfaction in Bell¡¯s tone, the beautiful host smiled awkwardly. She was indeed a little embarrassed to call Bell every time he returned. However, this was an exception. ¡°Bell, stop complaining. There¡¯s something very important this time.¡± ¡°If you still want me to participate in the gathering, stop your thoughts right there.¡± Bell did not like this kind of reception. ¡°No, listen to me. A big shot wants to see you.¡± ¡°A big shot?¡± ¡°That¡¯s right, where are you now? I¡¯ll pick you up.¡± The beautiful host¡¯s tone was very serious. Seeing that the other party was not joking, Bell did not argue. After telling the other party the address, the beautiful host quickly rushed over. The three of them got into the car and arrived at a building. ¡°Hello, Mr. Bell, right? Chief Zhang is already waiting for you inside. Please follow me.¡± As soon as he got out of the car, a staff member welcomed him. The other party was very enthusiastic, but Bell was indeed confused. Seeing that the other party had no ill intentions, Bell followed obediently. On the way, he could not help but ask the beautiful host. ¡°Sister, what¡¯s going on? Why are you being so mysterious?¡± If it were a recording, Bell felt that there was no need to hide it like this. The beautiful host smiled mysteriously. ¡°You¡¯ll know soon.¡± Bell curled his lips unhappily. She was actually keeping it a secret from him. ¡°Chief Zhang, they¡¯re here.¡± The staff leading the way stood at the office door and greeted. The middle-aged man in the office turned around. The man¡¯s eyes lit up. He walked up from behind the table, and the host introduced him. ¡°Bell, this is Director Zhang of the General Administration of Sports, Mr. Zhang Weiguo. Chief Zhang is here for you. ¡± ¡°Bell¡­¡± Zhang Weiguo stretched out his hand, wanting to greet Bell, but he was stunned halfway, not knowing how to address Bell. Bell looked to be fifteen or sixteen years old, not like an eight-year-old child. But the other party was indeed eight years old. The difference in age was too great. Speaking of which, he would be of Bell¡¯s grandfather¡¯s generation. As if sensing the other party¡¯s embarrassment, Bell stretched out his hand. ¡°Hello, Chief Zhang, I¡¯m Bell.¡± Bell took the initiative to greet, dissolving the awkwardness. The beautiful host knew that her mission was completed. It was unnecessary to continue staying here. ¡°Chief Zhang, I¡¯ve already called him over. You guys chat by yourselves. I¡¯ll go out first. Speaking of which, I haven¡¯t walked around here for a long time.¡± Hearing the beautiful host say this, Zhang Weiguo nodded. ¡°Alright, let Little Zhang accompany you.¡± The few of them had a tacit understanding. The staff member who had led them into the office building, Little Zhang, left the office with the female host. Only Bell and Zhang Weiguo were left in the office. Chapter 274 - Participating in the Olympics? Taking a Master? At the same time, Bell was sizing up the man in front of him. He wondered why the other party was looking for him. He should have no relation with the other party. ¡°Hello, Bell. Let me introduce myself again. I¡¯m Zhang Weiguo, the deputy director of the General Administration of Sports.¡± Seeing the other party¡¯s expression, Bell nodded. The other party was so serious, which meant that it was definitely not just a casual chat. Could it be that the Sports Administration wanted him to participate in some program? Fortunately, Zhang Weiguo was a straightforward person. Before Bell guessed too much, he went straight to the point. ¡°Bell, I will go straight to the point. I came to you mainly because I hope you can represent the country in this Rio Olympics.¡± ¡®The Rio Olympics?¡¯ Bell was stunned. There was a trace of disbelief on his face. Are you kidding me? ¡°I¡¯m naturally happy to serve the country, but I don¡¯t think I¡¯m old enough.¡± Bell said vaguely. Although he was not a professional athlete, he knew that the athletes in the Olympics were nurtured from a young age. Often, to be able to reach the podium of the Olympics, they had to go through more than ten years of hard work and finally be selected as elites. After all, he was not a professional athlete. It would be a joke if they made him participate in such a competition. But hearing Bell say this, Zhang Weiguo smiled and patted Bell¡¯s shoulder. ¡°Bell, don¡¯t be modest. We have already watched your videos. After studying it many times, we are sure that your videos were not edited. To be honest, your physique is the best among all the athletes I have seen. This does not seem to be related to training, but that your physique is naturally superior to ordinary people. You are very talented. Be it track and field or most technical events, you can achieve good results with some training.¡± ¡°Bell, on behalf of the General Administration of Sports, I officially invite you to join the national team for the Rio Olympics in three days.¡± Most of the athletes in the Olympics represented their countries. If he wanted to step onto this stage, he had to enter the national team. Of course, there were a few independent athletes in the Olympics. There were even a few independent athletes who had won gold medals. The flag used by such athletes for the appearance ceremony and award ceremony was the flag of the International Olympic Committee. Bell was actually interested in participating in the Olympics. Moreover, he was confident that with his physique, winning the gold medal would be easy. Most importantly, he might be able to take this opportunity to increase his popularity. This was the Olympics. A third of the world¡¯s population was paying attention to it. Especially in sports like track and field. It had been many years since the cheers of the Chinese sounded for this event. If he could snatch it, he might obtain more popularity points than the streaming. Bell was very excited. It seemed like he had really misunderstood this time. This beautiful host was really his good fortune. After some thought, Bell made a decision. ¡°Chief Zhang, it¡¯s my duty to help the country. However, I¡¯m used to being undisciplined and can¡¯t stand any restrictions, so let¡¯s forget about entering the national team.¡± Bell was not blinded by the sudden happiness. He knew that once he entered the team, he would definitely be restrained. He hated trouble. If he needed to be controlled, Bell felt that it was better to give up this opportunity. After all, compared to fame, Bell preferred a carefree life. He did not like to be supervised everywhere. Zhang Weiguo hesitated for a moment. ¡°You have to join the national team. Otherwise, how can you represent China? However, you don¡¯t have to worry. I will approve your retirement after the Olympics. Although this is a little unnecessary, we still have to go through the process. You know this.¡± Zhang Weiguo saw through Bell¡¯s thoughts and promised him. However, letting Bell really retire was another matter. Fortunately, Bell did not think too much about it. After hearing Zhang Weiguo¡¯s guarantee, he had nothing to worry about. Bell was already thinking about how much he should show in the competition. He was not a fool. He could not unleash his full strength. If he did that, he would probably be captured for research. As long as he hid his strength and did not go overboard, it would be acceptable. Only by keeping a low profile could he go further. Bell knew this very well. ¡°Then, when are we leaving?¡± Zhang Weiguo pondered for a moment and said, ¡°Let¡¯s set off tomorrow. I¡¯ll show you around the venue.¡± Bell nodded in agreement. Since he had agreed, he naturally had to follow the arrangements. The matter was settled. The two of them walked out of the office building. As soon as he walked out, he saw a burly man walking over. Seeing the burly man, Bell¡¯s pupils constricted. After experiencing so many life and death battles, Bell¡¯s six senses were already sharp. To a certain extent, the moment he saw this burly man, Bell sensed that this was a ruthless person whose hands were stained with blood. Moreover, the other party¡¯s physique was abnormally strong. It could even be said that he had the strongest physique he had seen till now. At this moment, the burly man walked towards him. ¡°Chief Zhang, are we leaving now?¡± ¡°Alright, let¡¯s go now. This is Bell. Let me introduce you. We¡¯re going to be together for a while. In the future, Bell will also serve the country. ¡± Zhang Weiguo looked at the man and introduced. The man raised his eyebrows when he saw Bell. ¡°Impressive.¡± The burly man suddenly looked at Bell and praised. Zhang Weiguo was confused. Then, an even more shocking scene appeared. The burly man looked at Bell and said. ¡°Bell, right? Are you interested in being my disciple?¡± As soon as he said this, Zhang Weiguo widened his eyes in shock. ¡°Old Liu, are you joking? Why are you suddenly being like this?¡± ¡°Nonsense, how can I not be tempted by a good seedling?¡± Bell looked at the two of them speak, but his mind was muddled. What was going on? Didn¡¯t he say that he would bring him to the Olympics? Why was he suddenly being recruited as a disciple? Chapter 275 - Bad Old Man The burly man called Old Liu did not seem to care about Zhang Weiguo¡¯s surprise. He continued to look at Bell and asked solemnly. ¡°How is it, kid? Are you interested in being my disciple?¡± The burly man¡¯s almost begging-like expression made Bell¡¯s eyes twitch. At this moment, Bell really wanted to ask, ¡®Who are you? Isn¡¯t it a little too childish to ask me to acknowledge you as my master when we just met?¡¯ As if seeing Bell¡¯s confusion, Zhang Weiguo leaned forward and explained to Bell. ¡°Bell, don¡¯t underestimate Old Liu. He¡¯s a grandmaster of Xing Yi Quan. His Half-step Crushing Fist can be said to have reached perfection.¡± Hearing Zhang Weiguo¡¯s words, Bell couldn¡¯t help but size up the man in front of him again. Although he had exchanged for top combat techniques, this was the first time he had encountered such a martial artist. He couldn¡¯t help but feel curious and a little suspicious. As if seeing through Bell¡¯s thoughts, Old Liu smiled at him. ¡°Hmm, you don¡¯t believe it? Why don¡¯t we have a spar?¡± Bell¡¯s eyes lit up. If it were before, he would really be a little hesitant, but now, his attributes were very different from before. Bell really wanted to test the difference between him and these martial arts experts. ¡°Hmm, then let¡¯s give it a try?¡± Bell said tentatively. ¡°Haha, kid, you have guts. I admire you!¡± Old Liu was smiling. At the same time, Zhang Weiguo revealed an inexplicable smile. After confirming it, the two of them walked out of the building and arrived at an empty space. But before the spar, Zhang Weiguo couldn¡¯t help but remind him. ¡°Old Liu, I¡¯m bringing this kid to the Olympics in two days. I¡¯m still hoping that he can win a gold medal. Don¡¯t hurt him.¡± The man called Old Liu waved his hand. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, I know my limits. I won¡¯t hurt this kid.¡± The three of them quickly arrived at the lawn. Bell moved his body. The injury on the back of his neck had completely recovered. As for the scapula, it had mostly recovered. Although there were still some slight cracks, it did not affect its normal movement. He knew that this man was strong. But he did not know how strong the other party was. However, he was confident that he was not inferior to the other party. After all, he also had a physique that far exceeded ordinary people. This man should be a benchmark in the martial arts industry. Bell was indeed very curious. Seeing Bell move his limbs, Old Liu smiled casually and stood there. He spread his legs slightly like taking a horse stance. Vaguely, Bell felt that the other party had an immovable aura. Old Liu looked at Bell and smiled. ¡°Kid, don¡¯t say that I¡¯m bullying you. I will let you make the first move.¡± Bell would not reject such an offer when facing this opponent. Bell narrowed his eyes and exerted strength in his legs. He immediately shot towards the man like a cannonball. ¡°Good!¡± Seeing Bell¡¯s ferocious explosive force, the man¡¯s eyes lit up, and the thought of taking Bell in as his disciple solidified even more. The two of them were less than ten meters apart. In just a second, Bell had already rushed to the man. With terrifying inertia, Bell jumped high. Bell not only had brute force, but his combat skills were also top-notch. In the air, Bell stretched his body and kicked, looking like he was going to split a mountain. Although he did not activate his skill, Bell used his full strength in this kick. Coupled with the run-up earlier, even a wooden stake as thick as a bowl could be easily cut through by Bell. However, Old Liu did not show any vigilance when he saw Bell¡¯s kick. There was even a trace of disdain in his eyes. Old Liu did not even move from the waist down. He turned his body slightly and avoided the kick. At the same time, he waved his right hand and accurately hit Bell¡¯s stomach. Thump! Bell felt a sharp pain in his abdomen. He lost his balance and fell to the ground. At this moment, Bell finally understood the feelings of the three Indians he had defeated. The intense pain kept stimulating his nerves, making him unable to speak. At this moment, Old Liu slowly said. ¡°Kid, you¡¯re still too inexperienced. In martial arts, it is important to not make big movements. You are doing a flying kick. Looks like you really don¡¯t have a foundation. ¡± Old Liu began to educate Bell. Bell was in so much pain that he could not speak. He realized how fragile he was in front of these true martial arts experts. His powerful kick was actually filled with flaws in the other party¡¯s eyes. The karate and taekwondo flying kick seemed to be very intimidating, but in fact, it exposed your weaknesses to the opponent. In traditional Chinese martial arts, whether it was Bajiquan or Taiji, it was almost a taboo to use big kicks. Even Northern Shaolin Kicks did not include techniques that had big movements. Not to mention kicking in the air like Bell. This action could only be considered a performance. Kung Fu emphasized stability. Stand like a pine, walk like you are moving through mud. The first step for many martial artists was to do the horse stance. It was to build a strong foundation for the body. If a person¡¯s lower body was unstable, it would be useless no matter how well he trained. He could easily fall and falling meant disadvantage. In a field like martial arts, a slight disadvantage was equivalent to death. It seemed like movies were just movies. Just like Bruce Lee¡¯s performance back then. On the screen, although Bruce Lee had demonstrated many sidekicks, but when fighting with real experts, it was almost impossible to see him use leg techniques. He had never raised his leg above the knee. Bell¡¯s physique was strong after all. Coupled with his strong willpower, he quickly stood up while enduring the pain. Old Liu looked at the pain on Bell¡¯s face and continued to speak. ¡°Why? Can¡¯t you take this little pain at such a young age? Wasn¡¯t your momentum just now very strong? ¡± Alright, this old man was very bad. Not only was he good at fighting, but he was also good at talking. Chapter 276 - Young Man, You Have the Talent! Bell rolled his eyes and did not argue. After adjusting his condition, he attacked Old Liu again. This time, Bell was much smarter. He did not use his legs like before and began to punch Old Liu. Although Bell was small, his every punch was powerful. Moreover, it was extremely fast. But to Bell¡¯s surprise, his punches which were clearly aimed at Old Liu¡¯s blind spots were dodged completely. He just stood there, his feet seemingly rooted to the ground, but his upper body was constantly swaying. He could dodge any attack. This made Bell very depressed. In fact, it was not only Bell who was surprised. Old Liu was also surprised. This young guy¡¯s physique far exceeded his imagination. He was only eight years old, but his strength did not seem like it. Looking at Bell, Old Liu suddenly thought of those people who were born with extraordinary strength. Could it be that Bell was such a person? If that was the case, he would have really picked up a treasure. Although Old Liu seemed to be able to block Bell¡¯s punches easily, only he knew the truth. At this moment, his hand was already turning numb. If not for the support of internal energy, his arms would have been crippled. Ignoring everything else, with Bell¡¯s strength, it would not be a problem for him to fight seven to eight people. Even normal special forces soldiers could not compare to him. Compared to Old Liu, Bell was getting stronger and stronger as the fight continued. The speed of his punches became faster and faster, and the strength became greater and greater. There was no sign of exhaustion at all. Old Liu, who had been holding on bitterly, finally could not take it anymore. If this continued, he would probably be laughed at. After blocking Bell¡¯s punch, Old Liu finally moved. Instead of retreating, he took a small step with his left leg. Immediately after, he threw a punch that seemed to contain 500 kilograms of force. Zhang Weiguo quickly shouted. ¡°Old Liu, hold back a little!¡± However, Old Liu could no longer listen to Zhang Weiguo. He had to hold back? If he held back anymore, he would be the one beaten up. As he spoke, Old Liu¡¯s fist smashed at Bell with an earth-shattering force. Bell, who had been attacking, sensed the danger and quickly retracted his hands to block. There was a bang. Bell felt like he was a lonely boat in the vast sea. A huge force pierced through Bell¡¯s body, and he was sent flying five to six meters away like a kite with a broken string. Half-step Crushing Fist! Zhang Weiguo was extremely anxious. He quickly ran forward. In his eyes, Bell was the future and glory of the country. If he was injured, he would feel a huge heartache. Old Liu, who was still in the Crushing Fist posture, also realized that he had used too much force. Seeing that Bell was sent flying, he couldn¡¯t help but blush and scratch his head awkwardly. ¡°This is a mistake. It¡¯s a small mistake. Director Zhang, you don¡¯t have to worry. I only used ten percent of my strength.¡± The 10 percent that Old Liu was talking about was not only his physical strength but also his internal energy. In fact, he was not sure if Bell was fine. After all, this was the Crushing Fist. Its power stacked like a tide. Normally, even a stone slab more than ten centimeters thick could be easily shattered. However, just as they walked forward to check Bell¡¯s injuries, Bell suddenly jumped up. Not only did he not look pained, but there was also a trace of excitement. This shocked the two of them. ¡°You, you¡¯re fine?¡± Looking at the lively Bell, Old Liu asked in surprise. Although he had only used ten percent of his strength, he was confident that this punch could easily shatter even a stone slab. But looking at Bell, he did not look injured at all. Ever since he learned this Half-step Crushing Fist, unless it was someone of the same path, he had never heard of anyone who could block it with their physique alone. But at this moment, he really saw it. Old Liu was stunned. He fell into self-doubt. Could it be that he was really getting old? Old Liu was not the only one who was shocked. Zhang Weiguo was also shocked. As a good friend for many years, he knew the power of Old Liu¡¯s punch very well. Back then, he had seen with his own eyes how Old Liu¡¯s punch knocked a 200-pound man to the ground. Moreover, the man was a trained man and was quite bulky. For a moment, the two of them did not know how to express their feelings. However, unlike the two of them, Bell was extremely excited. Because he could feel how domineering Old Liu¡¯s punch was. If he had not activated the Wilderness Hunter skill at the critical moment, his 17 points of physique might not have been able to withstand it. His internal organs would probably be injured. Bell had never thought a person¡¯s strength could reach such a level. It was simply amazing to send the force through someone¡¯s body. Bell quickly came to Old Liu¡¯s side and asked curiously. ¡°What is the name of that punch? How could it have such an effect?¡± Anyone with a normal brain could feel the strange power of that punch. However, Old Liu did not answer immediately. Instead, he reached out and gently pressed Bell¡¯s chest. After confirming that Bell was indeed not injured, Old Liu heaved a sigh of relief and said again. ¡°The punch I used just now is called Half-Step Crushing Fist.¡± ¡°Half-step Crushing Fist?¡± Bell pondered. This name indeed matched the sensation from that punch. With half a step, the fist force crushes the mountain. Old Liu looked at Bell with a burning gaze. Ever since he started practicing martial arts, Old Liu felt that his physique was already quite outstanding. But compared to this kid, he was quite inferior. Extraordinary talent seemed to be insufficient to describe this kid. If he had to find someone like the kid, he could only search among the ancient people. For example, Xiang Yu and Lu Bu. Such a person with extraordinary divine strength only appeared once every few hundred years. He encountered such a person today. Chapter 277 - Fist Art, Participating in Competition Looking at Bell again, Old Liu¡¯s eyes lit up as if he had seen a rare treasure. Seeing that Bell seemed to be interested in his punch, Old Liu smiled and said, ¡°How is it? Do you want to learn that punch?¡± Bell quickly replied excitedly. ¡°Of course. You¡¯re willing to teach me? Are you sure it¡¯s this move? ¡± Zhang Weiguo couldn¡¯t help but frown when he heard the conversation between the old and young. Good lord, was someone here to snatch his person? However, he remembered that Bell was not a professional athlete. Moreover, the inheritance of martial arts was very difficult. His friend found a perfect inheritor, so he could not argue. The group quickly arrived at Zhang Weiguo¡¯s residence. The few of them sat on the sofa and Old Liu looked at Bell. ¡°Your physique is indeed very good. Moreover, you¡¯re young, and your future is limitless, but the prerequisite is that you practice martial arts diligently.¡± Old Liu began to feed the chicken soup for the soul. Bell interrupted bluntly. ¡°Just tell me if I can learn it.¡± Bell was most concerned about this. With the system on him, his future was naturally limitless. However, his focus was still on wilderness survival. If he could learn some martial arts to increase his strength, Bell naturally would not refuse. He would be more confident in exploring the wilderness in the future. This was his goal in learning the move. Seeing that Bell did not listen to his brainwashing, Old Liu was furious. If not for the fact that it was too difficult to find a good seedling, he would have taught this kid a lesson. He could only try to persuade him. ¡°The punch I just threw is called Half-Step Crushing Fist. It¡¯s just a move, not a complete fist style. You haven¡¯t learned internal martial arts yet, and the most you can do is unleash 30% of its power.¡± Old Liu wanted to tempt Bell to learn martial arts. When Bell heard that he could only unleash 30% of the move¡¯s power, he felt that it was okay. After all, this was a shortcut to gain more power. It would take a lot of time to learn Internal Martial Arts. Most importantly, if he could become Elder Liu¡¯s disciple, he could explain to others why his physique was so strong. Bell asked impatiently. ¡°Then when can I start learning?¡± Elder Liu waved his hand. ¡°This kind of thing can¡¯t be rushed. If you want to use the Half-step Crushing Fist, you have to first learn to use the Lightning Fire Stance.¡± It¡¯s not too late to study after you and Chief Zhang are finished with the competition.¡± The Xingyi Fist was divided into five elements: metal, wood, water, fire, and earth. Crushing Fist belonged to the wood element. However, Elder Liu¡¯s Crushing Fist was special. It emphasized aggression like fire and power to crush mountains. It was a powerful fist technique. Bell was thinking to himself. If he took this Old Master Liu as his master, there would be a ceremony and many things to follow. He had heard that the older generations put great importance to this. Fortunately, Bell¡¯s worries were unnecessary. Although Elder Liu was a martial artist, he did not follow the rules. The night passed quickly. Zhang Weiguo immediately applied for a visa and plane ticket for Bell. Then, they took a plane to the Olympic venue. After an entire day on the plane, Bell felt a little dizzy when he got off the plane again. He did not expect to return to Brazil so soon. If he had known this would happen, he would have just stayed here. When the staff of the General Administration of Sports learned that Zhang Weiguo was here, they sent people to the airport early. The group quickly arrived at the athletes¡¯ dormitory. Zhang Weiguo was already middle-aged. After a long day, he was naturally exhausted. ¡°Bell, rest early today. I¡¯ll show you around the venue tomorrow and get someone to test your data.¡± Bell nodded when he heard that. He returned to his room. Looking at the layout of the room, Bell couldn¡¯t help but shake his head. Indeed, it was unrealistic to expect Brazil to manage the Olympics well. The athletes¡¯ dormitory could not even compare to some small hotels in China. Water was still dripping from the ceiling. Bell could only express his helplessness. Even if he complained to the staff, no one would care. At least, this place was much better than the wilderness. Moreover, he was only participating in two events. He would probably be done in a day. By then, he would return to China to rest. He did not want to stay in Brazil for a moment longer. The night passed peacefully. The next morning, Bell walked out of the room early. He stood in the restaurant downstairs and waited for a while. Zhang Weiguo also walked out with his assistant. However, seeing the other party¡¯s bloodshot eyes, Bell guessed that he had not slept well. As soon as he entered the restaurant, Zhang Weiguo noticed Bell. He sat opposite Bell and sighed. ¡°It¡¯s good to be young. After breakfast, I¡¯ll take you to see Coach Wang, who is in charge of the track and field program. Let him test your physique. I have to go to the Olympic Committee today, so I can¡¯t accompany you.¡± Bell nodded in understanding. After all, Zhang Weiguo was the deputy director of the General Administration of Sports, and he was about to become the head. The conference was about to begin, so he naturally could not be idle. Then, under Zhang Weiguo¡¯s astonished gaze, Bell finished six burgers, three sandwiches, and a bowl of fruit salad. Ever since his attributes increased, Bell realized that his appetite had increased greatly. It was mainly because of the increase in muscle cells. It consumed a lot of energy almost every moment. After seeing Bell¡¯s appetite, Zhang Weiguo was relieved about Bell¡¯s performance. Just as he had thought, the greater the appetite, the more energy the body consumed. Under the situation that the person digested all the food without being bloated, they would naturally have a stronger physique. The meal ended quickly. Bell was brought to meet the coach. It was a muscular middle-aged man. His name was Wang Chao. After being introduced by Zhang Weiguo, Wang Chao looked at Bell differently. He also began to look forward to Bell¡¯s performance. Chapter 278 - Isn’t This Record Easy to Break? Wang Chao was a track and field athlete. He had participated in many Olympics for the country. However, he was not gifted in terms of physique, so he had no chance to go to the podium. After hearing Zhang Weiguo¡¯s description of Bell, Wang Chao was shocked and couldn¡¯t help but doubt. The main reason was that Bell was too young. Although he looked strong, he did not believe that Bell could easily break the record. Soon, Bell changed into his sportswear. Wang Chao looked at Bell and said seriously. ¡°Bell, right? Since you¡¯re recommended by Chief Zhang, you must have your own outstanding aspects. However, you have not undergone specific training, so I am not sure what your condition is. Why don¡¯t you try running first? Let me know a little about you.¡± Wang Chao did not take Bell down a notch. It was just a very ordinary exchange, and the request was very reasonable. Bell naturally had no reason to refuse. Stretching his body, Bell kept thinking about how much he should show. If he suppressed it too low, he would definitely not be able to show his potential. But if he displayed too much, it would be too shocking. After thinking for a long time, Bell felt that it was suitable to suppress his attribute points to about 13 points. On one hand, this had already exceeded an adult¡¯s physique by three points. On the other hand, after hard training and talent, a person should be able to reach this level. Bell arched his body slightly. Wang Chao stood at the side, holding the stopwatch. ¡°Ready, begin!¡± Bell¡¯s leg muscles suddenly erupted with powerful strength. He rushed out like an arrow. In fact, Bell was not particularly comfortable with suppressing his attribute points to run. He could clearly run faster, but he had to try his best to suppress it. It was really torturous. Seeing Bell rush out like a cheetah, Wang Chao completely forgot about the stopwatch in his hand. He could only look at Bell¡¯s back. Soon, Bell finished running and pretended to be panting. He returned to Wang Chao¡¯s side and asked. ¡°Coach, how is it?¡± ¡°Ah? Oh, not bad, not bad. Take a rest first. We will test it again later. The results will be precise after a few more tests.¡± Of course, Wang Chao could not say that he was shocked and forgot to stop the timer. Fortunately, his acting skills were not bad, and Bell did not doubt him. After resting for a while, Bell ran again. Looking at the number on the stopwatch, Wang Chao tried his best to control his emotions. 9.28 seconds. This was heaven-defying. This was the only thought in Wang Chao¡¯s mind. Although it was just a test data, it could already indicate many things. It was not much different from a real competition. Wang Chao looked at Bell and asked seriously. ¡°Bell, tell me the truth. You really didn¡¯t use stimulants?¡± Wang Chao¡¯s eyes were filled with anticipation and nervousness. It was no wonder he had such an expression. Bell¡¯s results could not be described as just good. It could be said to have exceeded his expectations. As a former track and field athlete, Wang Chao knew the limit of the 100-meter sprint too well. Bell¡¯s results could even be said to be exaggerating. Seeing Wang Chao like this, Bell¡¯s heart skipped a beat. He knew that he had not suppressed his attributes too well. Therefore, the results were a little exaggerated. Bell quickly said. ¡°Coach Wang, don¡¯t worry. How can I eat that thing? Why don¡¯t we test it a few more times? Didn¡¯t you say that we have to test the data a few more times to be accurate?¡± ¡°Err, alright then.¡± Wang Chao did not expect to be stopped by his own words which he had said earlier. However, what Bell said made sense. After all, he was holding a stopwatch, so there must be a mistake. If his hand was 0.5 seconds slower, the result would be completely different. 9.28 and 10 seconds were worlds apart. Then, the two of them tested five more times. Under Bell¡¯s intentional suppression, the average score was 9.73 seconds. Even so, Wang Chao was so excited that he could not speak. The world champion, Usain Bolt, had a record of 9.58 seconds. But that was the only time he had such results in his life. Bell could steadily perform at 9.75. Wang Chao believed that as long as Bell did not make a mistake, it was almost certain for him to win a gold medal. After testing the 100-meter sprint, Wang Chao tested the long jump. Wang Chao had a fulfilling day. He spent almost all his time in shock. It was not until midnight that he finally reacted. He brought Bell back to the dormitory. ¡°Bell, rest well today. It¡¯s time for you to perform tomorrow.¡± ¡°Remember the techniques I taught you. Don¡¯t feel any psychological pressure and perform normally.¡± Wang Chao instructed seriously. Bell nodded in agreement. Bell came to the restaurant. The food was free, and he could take whatever he wanted. In front of Bell was a mountain of food. But after eating for a while, Bell suddenly felt that the atmosphere was not right. Looking up, Bell realized that the Chinese athletes were all looking at him and had no intention of eating. After realizing that Bell had noticed them, these athletes quickly lowered their heads. Bell only curled his lips and said nothing. He continued to fight the food in front of him. It had to be said that Brazil¡¯s barbecue was indeed good. No wonder it was world famous. He had tasted it once when he was in Manaus. Since there was still a chance, he naturally could not miss it. Just as Bell was about to continue eating, his sharp hearing allowed him to hear the discussions of the surrounding athletes. ¡°Did you hear it? It¡¯s that child. I heard that his average time in the 100-meter sprint is 9.75 seconds.¡± ¡°Your news is outdated. I saw him test his long jump this afternoon. It was 9.88 meters! You didn¡¯t see Coach Wang¡¯s expression.¡± ¡°F*ck, this is too fierce. If he performs normally, won¡¯t he definitely win two gold medals in this Olympics? ¡± ¡°I wonder when the team found such an amazing talent? Or has the country been secretly nurturing him? He looks very young. ¡± ¡°I don¡¯t know. I heard that Chief Zhang invited him personally.¡± ¡°Alright, maybe the real experts are among the people.¡± Chapter 279 - Fantasy Destroyed, Competition Begins Hearing everyone¡¯s discussion, Bell only smiled. It seemed like he had restrained himself well. At the very least, the content of the discussion was normal. After dinner, Bell returned to his room under everyone¡¯s admiring gazes. Lying on the bed, Bell kept thinking about how much popularity he could increase after the competition. If he could really get a gold medal, it would increase by a whole lot. It would probably be tens of millions of popularity points. If that happened, wouldn¡¯t he be able to draw a thousand times? Wouldn¡¯t his beautiful future begin right away? Bell asked the system. ¡°Is there a ten-year lucky draw or a hundred-year lucky draw function in the system¡¯s special lucky draw? For example, a special item that will definitely appear in ten years? ¡± Recently, he liked doing this. However, the system¡¯s answer destroyed Bell¡¯s fantasy. ¡°The system does not provide such services.¡± Bell curled his lips. ¡°It¡¯s really not humane. If I obtain tens of millions of popularity points tomorrow, won¡¯t I have to draw a thousand times? It will be too tiring. Is there no solution? ¡± ¡°Of course there is a way to resolve it, but don¡¯t worry, host. You won¡¯t obtain tens of millions of popularity points tomorrow.¡± Bell was quite satisfied with the system¡¯s answer and felt that there was a solution. However, when he heard the second half, Bell finally realized that something was wrong. What did it mean by saying he would not obtain tens of millions of popularity points? ¡°System, what do you mean? Didn¡¯t you say that the higher the popularity, the more popularity points I can obtain? ¡± He should not have remembered wrongly. The system had explained this to him. Could it be that there was something he had forgotten? Just as Bell was thinking carefully, he suddenly remembered something. His popularity points increased through the number of fans. In other words, without starting the live broadcast, he could not collect popularity points. F*ck, tomorrow is the Olympics. No matter how much he was valued, it was impossible for him to obtain this privilege. Wouldn¡¯t he be snatching food from the Olympics if he did that? But if that was the case, wouldn¡¯t he be just doing voluntary work tomorrow? At most, he would get some trophies that were not worth mentioning. As for the monetary benefits? He was not short of money. After hearing this news, the originally happy Bell became disinterested. If not for the fact that he had already promised Zhang Weiguo in advance and it was such an important occasion, he would have looked for the return flight. Tonight was supposed to be the opening ceremony of the Olympics, but Bell, who was in a bad mood, could not be bothered to watch. He did not even participate in the appearance of the athletes. Because of Bell¡¯s results and the fact that he was personally recommended by Zhang Weiguo and Wang Chao, no one dared to say anything. The next day, Bell was brought to the competition venue by Wang Chao. The starting event was the 100-meter sprint. The other contestants looked nervous, but Bell looked indifferent. Seeing Bell¡¯s expression, Wang Chao thought that it was because of the pressure and kept comforting him. ¡°Bell, relax. Don¡¯t feel too much pressure. After all, this is your first time participating in a competition. If you can get a medal, it¡¯s good; but even if you don¡¯t get it, no one will blame you.¡± Hearing Wang Chao¡¯s comforting words, Bell came to his senses. Although he had lost tens of millions of popularity points, he had promised the other party. Moreover, this was a matter of fighting for the honor of the country. He should not treat it like this. Although Wang Chao was looking forward to the gold medal in this competition, especially in the sprinting event, he still said something to calm Bell down. It could be seen that he really treated him as a disciple. Thinking of this, Bell perked up. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, Coach Wang. I¡¯m confident.¡± As Bell finished speaking, the announcement sounded in the lounge, notifying the athletes to enter the field. Bell did not say anything else. He smiled at Wang Chao and walked out of the lounge. Under the guidance of the staff, Bell quickly arrived at the venue. Looking at the dense crowd, Bell¡¯s expression was very calm. It had to be said that there was a huge difference between the Olympics and normal training. The pressure from this crowd was not something ordinary people could resist. Those with poor mental fortitude would even perform poorly. Of course, if it was someone like Bell who had absolute confidence in himself, it would only boost him. There were four rounds in the 100-meter race. The finals was the fourth round. Bell was not the only one from China participating in this event. There were two others as well. However, the three of them were not in the same group. Moreover, according to Bell¡¯s estimation, it would probably be difficult to see the other two in the finals. On the track, on Bell¡¯s left and right were the American and Jamaican athletes. The two of them were black. Their limbs were long, and the muscles in their legs were very obvious and developed. This was the unique advantage of the black race. The Jamaican athlete realized that Bell was looking at him, but did not speak. In his opinion, a young child like Bell was not his match at all. He would definitely be eliminated in the first round. Firstly, the boy¡¯s development had not reached its peak. Secondly, the disadvantage of the yellow people was almost irreparable. As for the athlete on the other side, although he did not speak, his eyes revealed a trace of disdain. There was a rule in the Olympic Games that athletes could not mock each other before the competition, or they would be in danger of being withdrawn. But everyone had a mutual understanding about this. Bell did not respond to the athlete¡¯s provocation. Their medals were the lowest in the Olympics every year. This was mainly because their immigration policy was loose. Many black athletes were attracted by the green cards. In track and field, more than 50% of the American athletes came from other countries. For example, they were athletes from various countries, including Jamaica, and they were very powerful. Just as Bell was thinking, the referee blew the whistle. All the athletes tensed up, waiting for the moment to arrive. ¡°Ready!¡± ¡°Peng!¡± With a gunshot, all the athletes set off like cannonballs. Chapter 280 - Strange Kid Bell was an amateur and had not been trained for the competition. These athletes standing on the track had long turned this sound into a reflex and muscle memory. Once they heard the gunshot, they would immediately erupt and run with all their might. They did not even need to use their brains to give instructions. As soon as they ran, Bell was already half a body behind everyone. Wang Chao, who was watching the competition from afar, was so nervous that he could not say anything. He did not even feel his nails dig into his flesh. At this moment, he was shouting loudly for Bell. ¡°Faster! Faster!¡± Wang Chao had always been a failure in track and field. Although he was lucky to be a national athlete, he had never won a gold medal. This made him feel very ashamed. However, even so, the country still gave him the best accommodation. But this made him feel guilty. He felt that he was not qualified to receive this treatment. Wang Chao was actually an extremely proud person. Just like Bell. Therefore, when he first saw Bell, Wang Chao felt like he had seen his shadow and hope. He placed all his hopes on Bell. However, Bell was not that nervous. This was not the finals. It was just the first round. As long as he could enter the top three, he would be able to enter the next round. Moreover, Bell was in a good mood. Because he had found a way to run at a good speed without suppressing his attributes. He only needed to follow the person in front and surpass him in the last ten meters. This way, he could ensure that his results would not be too shocking. He did not have to worry about not controlling his strength well. As Bell had expected, the first place was indeed the Jamaican contestant. Bell tried his best to put on an all-out expression. But he was always half a body¡¯s length behind. In the coach¡¯s seat, Wang Chao heaved a sigh of relief when he saw Bell run second. At the very least, it would not be a problem to enter the finals like this. However, at this moment, Wang Chao¡¯s eyes widened in disbelief. Bell suddenly began to speed up. At this moment, not only was Wang Chao shocked, even the Jamaican contestant was shocked. In the end, Bell passed the finish line at 9.82 seconds. As for the Jamaican contestant who was behind Bell, he even forgot to look at his results and only looked at Bell in shock. It was as if something terrifying had happened. The entire 100-meter sprint was an explosive competition. It was almost the same as rushing to the finish line at full speed. After all, it was only a matter of seconds. Almost no one would preserve their strength on such a short track. At least in all these years in this competition, they had never seen such a thing. However, today, Wang Chao and the athletes present saw it for themselves. The Jamaican athlete who landed half a body away from Bell looked like he was saying, ¡°Are you kidding me?¡± Bell did not say anything else. He did not know that his actions were very abnormal. But he also felt exhausted. It was not because of physical exhaustion, but because acting was too tiring. It seemed like he did not have any talent in acting. As soon as he got off the stage, Wang Chao excitedly hugged Bell. It made Bell feel uncomfortable. Fortunately, it was only for a moment before Wang Chao let go. After encouraging Bell, he told him to go back and rest. The competition progressed as Bell had expected. The other two Chinese athletes were eliminated in the first round. As for the second and third round, Bell used the same method. He actually entered the finals as a seeded contestant. On the other hand, the confident Jamaican contestant was very depressed by Bell. Almost every time, he would take the lead and be followed by Bell. When he was about to reach the finish line, he would be surpassed by Bell again. As for the American contestant who had provoked Bell, he had already been eliminated in the second round. He was just all bark and no bite. Bell looked around and realized that the twelve athletes standing on the track were all black. Only Bell stood out on the track. ¡°Bolt, be careful. That Asian is very strange.¡± The Jamaican, who had been surpassed, reminded Bolt. Hearing his companion¡¯s reminder, Bolt looked at Bell deeply, indicating that he understood. As a companion, Bolt knew his teammate¡¯s strength very well. He was only slightly better than his companion. However, this Asian child had actually surpassed his companion three times in a row. Surpassing three times in a row was enough to prove many things. It was definitely not something that luck could explain. It was because the other party had true strength. Among the twelve athletes on the track, Bolt could be said to be the center of attention. After all, he had already won two gold medals. Bolt was in his prime. Before the competition began, there were already people who predicted that Bolt had a high chance of winning three consecutive championships. ¡°Ready!¡± The referee¡¯s whistle sounded, and all the athletes instantly tensed up. It was ready to erupt at any time. A gunshot sounded. Several black shadows jumped out at the same time. As for Bell, he was still the same as before. He was behind Bolt this time. Bell realized that Bolt¡¯s starting speed was not particularly fast, but his speed was gradually increasing. When he reached 70 meters, Bolt had already run from the second last place to first place. Of course, Bolt was not the only one who received attention. As a seeded contestant, Bell also received such treatment. After all, the results this time were really weird. No one had expected that the first and second from behind would overtake everyone and become the true first and second place. Especially Bell, who was following beside Bolt closely, as if he could surpass him at any time. Chapter 281 - Bolt: F*cking Hell! Bolt, who was running at high speed, only glanced sideways out of habit. He looked around twenty meters behind him. In the past, this action would only increase his confidence. But when he saw the scene behind him today, his pupils constricted. Bell was following closely behind him. Moreover, when he looked at Bell, this guy actually had the energy to smile at him. Bolt was sure that he had seen it very clearly. Bell had smiled at him. As a professional athlete and the record holder of the 100-meter sprint, Bolt felt that he would not be able to smile when running at full speed. Because all his strength and energy were focused on running. But not only was Bell able to smile, but he was also smiling brightly. This could only prove one thing: Bell still had strength left. Thinking of this, Bolt couldn¡¯t help but break out in cold sweat. ¡°Goodbye.¡± Two extremely clear words entered Bolt¡¯s ears. These two words were in Chinese, and Bolt happened to understand them, but he did not understand why Bell was saying goodbye to him. While he was in a daze, Bell, who had been following closely behind him, suddenly exerted strength. His speed increased again, and he actually surpassed him. He quickly passed the finish line like a bolt of lightning. ¡°Beautiful! A miracle has happened!¡± The moment Bell crossed the finish line, Wang Chao and the two contestants stood up excitedly. He could not care less and hugged Bell fiercely. The reporters from more than ten countries kept pressing their cameras to capture the scene of Bell sprinting. The Chinese who were watching the competition were all excited. As the head coach, Wang Chao even cried. Bolt stood in front of the record board and looked at the three clear numbers on it in disbelief. 9.45. Not only had Bell won the championship, but he had also broken his record and pulled him down from his pedestal. From now on, when people mentioned the 100-meter sprint, they would only think of Bell and not mention Bolt. As for his name, it would gradually be forgotten. Sports were fair, but it was also cruel. People would only remember the name of the first place. As for the second place, no one would care. Because the Olympics was a live broadcast, the news of Bell winning the 100-meter sprint immediately spread all over the world and was reported on various major websites. As for the photo on the news, it was of Bell when he was sprinting. Some of Bell¡¯s fans did not watch the Olympics, but they also received news on various websites. Seeing that their host had actually participated in the Olympics and won the championship, they were shocked and left comments on Bell¡¯s Weibo. ¡°Bell is really something. He actually participated in such a formal event behind our backs.¡± ¡°Haha, Bell is outstanding. He has brought honor to the country at such a young age.¡± ¡°Bell: Why are you guys so excited? Isn¡¯t it just running around for fun?¡± ¡°Haha, Bell¡¯s expression is so arrogant.¡± Standing on the stage, Bell forced a smile and bit the gold medal. The gold medals in the Olympics were not pure gold. After all, if all the medals were pure gold, the award alone would cost tens of millions of dollars. Not all countries could afford this expense. Establishing a stadium and being in charge of the food of the athletes required money. In order to reduce the burden of holding the Olympics, the International Olympic Committee stipulated that the silver content of the entire gold medal must not be less than 92.5%. Therefore, this was essentially a silver medal. It was just plated with a few pieces of gold. This was something all athletes knew. But Bell was not a professional athlete, so he naturally did not know about this. Bell thought that the entire gold medal was made of pure gold and bit it symbolically like the others. An awkward scene happened. Other people would not really bite the gold medal when they put it in their mouths. It was just a symbolic gesture. There was a crack. Everyone on the stage was stunned. The material of the silver was soft. Bell¡¯s attributes had improved by leaps and bounds, and even his bones had been strengthened to an extremely terrifying extent. In addition, Bell thought that this thing was gold, so he bit the gold medal, and actually bit off a piece of it. Bolt, who was standing beside Bell, was also shocked. What was going on? Was this year¡¯s medal made of chocolate? Why was it so crispy? The head of the International Olympic Committee, who was in charge of handing the awards, was also dumbfounded. What was going on? Did he bite off the medal? He had given countless medals to many athletes in his life, but this was the first time he had seen the gold medal being bitten off. ¡°F*ck, this is too showy!¡± The other Chinese athletes had strange expressions. How was this an eight-year-old child? He was simply a ferocious person. As for Wang Chao, he could not help but cover his face, unable to bear to watch this awkward scene. Bell finally reacted. Not only were the outsiders shocked, but even Bell was stunned. F*ck, what did I do? Bell quickly spat out the half of the gold medal in his mouth and scratched his head awkwardly. ¡°Err, sorry, sorry, I was too excited.¡± Bolt could not be bothered to complain anymore. Did this guy not even know how to find an excuse? Since when did you look so excited? Even when you surpassed me, you looked so calm. No one believed Bell¡¯s reason. But no one could refute. Fortunately, the Olympic Committee was experienced. Although Bell¡¯s lie was a little unrealistic, they still covered it up. The staff sent another gold medal to Bell. Only then did this matter calm down. But it was not time to rest yet. After the award ceremony, Bell quickly left the stage and ran back to Wang Chao. After all, he still had to participate in the long jump event. Chapter 282 - Learning, New Episode Seeing that Bell had successfully won the gold medal in the 100-meter sprint, Wang Chao felt relieved. He was no longer worried about the long jump performance. After all, Bell had already broken through the most difficult hurdle. Bell swept his way through the long jump as well and won the championship with a result of 9.43 meters. At the same time, it broke the world record. The head of the Olympic Committee ran to the podium with a smile. Seeing that the champion was Bell again, he was stunned for a moment before hanging the medal around Bell¡¯s neck. At the same time, he did not forget to remind him softly. ¡°Young man, don¡¯t bite the medal to pieces again. There are no more spare medals.¡± Hearing the other party¡¯s teasing, Bell smiled awkwardly, indicating that he would not do such a stupid thing again. Two gold medals and two world records. Bell was sure that after today, his reputation would soar. Although it did not bring him any actual benefits, from the looks of it, the invisible increase in popularity was not small. During his next broadcast, he would gain another large number of fans. It should be enough for him to draw a few times. As for the identity of the national team member, Zhang Weiguo had already promised him that he would help him settle it. That night, Bell could not be bothered to participate in the troublesome ceremony and took a plane back to Shanghai. There was a time difference of more than ten hours between Rio and China. It would take over 20 hours to fly. Bell took the plane in the evening. When he arrived in Shanghai, it was already late afternoon the next day. When he returned home, Li Ziqi and the others had already prepared a sumptuous meal. The few of them chatted and had fun. During this period, Li Ziqi and Scarlett Johansson were even more overboard. They fought over Bell like he was a doll. Bell drank some wine while he was happy. When he was slightly drunk, he felt waves of softness coming from his sides. After a few days, Old Liu finally sent a message to Bell. ¡°Kid, congratulations. You¡¯re a celebrity now. When are you coming to my place? I want an autograph too.¡± Hearing Teacher Liu¡¯s teasing, Bell smiled awkwardly. Although he was not too excited about winning the championship, Bell felt quite comfortable being able to stay in the warm house. He had forgotten about learning the Xingyi Fist from Elder Liu. ¡°Don¡¯t say that, Elder Liu. I was just preparing to visit you.¡± ¡°You can come here this afternoon. I have something to do tomorrow. I¡¯ll teach you the Lightning Fire Stance and Half-Step Crushing Fist in the afternoon. As for how far you can cultivate them, it will depend on yourself. ¡± ¡°Ah, you are passing it to me just like that?¡± Bell was in disbelief. In his imagination, shouldn¡¯t these martial arts experts be very serious about teaching martial arts and holding a ceremony? No matter what, he had to give a gift. On the other end of the phone, Elder Liu rolled his eyes helplessly. ¡°Stop watching those movies. It¡¯s useless. It¡¯s just passing you a move. What is the use of all those unnecessary formalities?¡± Hearing Old Liu¡¯s words, Bell understood. Actually, these people were not as conservative as they looked in movies. For example, passing the martial arts tradition to only sons and not daughters was only adopted in very few families. Most martial arts schools would communicate with each other. For example, Master Dong Haichuan and Master Sun Lutang. When Dong Haichuan traveled all over China, he would spar with local martial arts experts almost every time. Over time, he combined his martial art with the advantages of various martial arts and established Baguazhang. As for Sun Lutang, he was originally from Shaolin. Then, he learned Xingyi Fist from Guo Yunshen. He also grasped the Baguazhang, Bajiquan, Taichi, and many other martial arts. In the end, he mastered it and created the Sun style Tai Chi. These were all possible due to the exchange of martial arts. Even an old man could understand such a simple logic. If a martial art school remained unchanged, it would gradually disappear in history. Some people were innovative, and some were conservative. Only then could they develop an art for a long time. After lunch, Bell quickly arrived at Elder Liu¡¯s residence. After some guidance, he chatted with Elder Liu and asked about his doubts. Finally, he bade farewell. Bell had no intention of becoming a martial arts expert. Whether it was participating in the Olympics or learning this Half-step Crushing Fist, it could only be considered a small interlude. His goal was to fight in the wilderness. Becoming the true king of the wilderness was Bell¡¯s ultimate goal. The rest were only methods to achieve it. After saying goodbye to Old Liu, Bell rested at home for a few days. At first, Bell enjoyed this feeling. But as time passed, Bell could not stay idle. Now, his live broadcast career was on the right track. It was necessary to strike while the iron was hot. The internet was so advanced now. Almost every moment, there were people who wanted to make money from the internet dividends. Therefore, new streamers appeared every moment. Once you rest for too long, you will become an outdated streamer. You would be forgotten by others. It was sad but true. Even though Bell was already quite famous, his popularity would still decrease greatly if he stayed idle for too long. After all, excessive confidence and arrogance had a price. Although Bell was already a top streamer, before the Discovery Channel broadcasted his program, his foundation would not be stable. After settling the company and personal matters, Bell finally received a call from the Wilderness Survival¡¯s production team. The new episode of Wilderness Survival was about to begin. They also wanted to ask Bell¡¯s opinion. Of course, the production team did not forget to congratulate Bell. After all, this was a national Olympic athlete. His status had increased greatly. Bell had explored many places before, such as the primeval forest, the Mojave desert, the Vis island, the Australian watershed, the Arctic Circle, and the Amazon rainforest. Because of this, the production team was preparing to increase the difficulty for Bell. Chapter 283 ?283 Siberian Icefield In fact, Bell thought that it was a good decision to explore the African savanna with his current strength. However, the African savanna was very famous. After discussing with the production team, they decided to make it the finale in the tenth episode. Therefore, he could only choose another place. Without this option, Bell really did not know where to go. There were indeed many places that had not been explored, but there were not many places that could stimulate him. He still hoped to make the adventure more exciting. Even though he always tried his best to make every episode interesting. According to the terrains, the next episode should be a marshland. However, the marshland did not seem to be thrilling enough. In comparison, the jungles of Vietnam and Siberia seemed to be more challenging. One was a primeval forest that had once swallowed countless American soldiers. The other was the gathering place of the world¡¯s largest feline. The three choices had their pros and cons. The marshland was not exciting enough, and the jungles in Vietnam would not do because he just finished broadcasting in the Amazon rainforest, so there would not be much new content. Bell was also worried that his fans would feel bored. As for the other Siberian ice field, the harsh environment was a difficult test. At the same time, there were large felines like Siberian tigers living there. It was indeed thrilling. In fact, many people thought that tigers were not a match for bears. But the truth was the opposite. As the largest feline in the world, the Siberian tiger could grow to 2 meters long, and would be 3 meters or longer if the tail was counted. As for its weight, it could reach an astonishing 350 kilograms. Moreover, tigers were clearly more dangerous than bears. Because when a bear¡¯s weight reached its peak, it would go into hibernation. This peak weight was reached when it accumulated fat to resist cold. At the same time, this weight made them look a little cumbersome. Its actions would be slightly slower. But a tiger was different. They were almost always at their peak. In Russia, someone had interviewed dozens of forest guards and obtained shocking data . In over a decade, there were a total of 27 battles between brown bears and Siberian tigers. 14 times, there was no winner. The brown bear killed the Siberian tiger twice. The remaining eleven times all ended with the brown bear¡¯s death. All these 27 battles were frontal attacks, and not ambushes. If sneak attacks were included, Siberian tigers killed brown bears more than 90 times. This data also showed that the Siberian tiger was at the top of the food chain. Of course, the environment was also a factor in this. This was limited to the Siberian area. After all, the brown bears in Asia were much smaller than the Kodiak brown bears. If the opponent was a Kodiak brown bear, the Siberian tiger¡¯s chances of winning would decrease greatly. It was hard to say who was stronger. Right now, it was already November. Siberia was almost at its coldest. In the hinterland of Siberia, the temperature during the day could reach -48 ¡ãC. As for the night, it could reach a terrifying -71 degrees Celsius. This could not be described as just cold. Bell was hesitant. After thinking for a long time, Bell felt that since he could not decide, he might as well start a vote online and leave the choice to the audience. Bell posted a poll on Weibo. Not long after the poll was published, nearly 400,000 people participated in the voting. By the evening, there were as many as 30 million people who voted. 20% of people voted for the marshland. The votes for jungles in Vietnam was slightly higher, reaching close to 30%, but it was not the highest. The remaining votes were all cast on Siberia. Seeing that everyone was looking forward to it, Bell decided to broadcast on the Siberian Icefield. Thinking of the harsh environment of the Siberian ice field, as well as the Siberian tiger, brown bear, black bear, lynx, and other animals, Bell was a bit excited. Soon, he informed the production team of Wilderness Survival. After hearing the location recommended by Bell, the production team naturally accepted it. After deciding on the location of the next episode, Bell had to prepare. The danger level of the Siberian ice plain was far greater than the Amazon rainforest. During the winter, the temperature in Siberia was no higher than -45 degrees Celsius. Wanting to survive there was almost equivalent to finding a miracle. Without a fire, freezing to death was a certainty. Moreover, there were many top predators living there. Especially Siberian tigers. Winter was the time when they were the most hungry. This top predator consumed a lot of food almost every day to store fat to survive the winter. This was also why there were always Siberian tigers attacking hibernating brown bears. Because these hibernating brown bears were indeed the best fat supplements in the eyes of the Siberian tigers. With Bell¡¯s current physique, he could try to fight a jaguar head-on. However, it would be a joke to fight a Siberian tiger head-on. This was the largest feline species. Its size was not inferior to average brown bears. Coupled with its agile limbs, when fighting, it could stand on its hind legs like cats and constantly strike with its front claws. Don¡¯t think that tigers only have sharp teeth. That heavy palm was definitely not something a human could withstand. Many people thought that feline palm strikes were not strong because they rarely used it when hunting. But in fact, the Siberian tiger¡¯s casual paw strike could reach a force of 1,200 kilograms. Coupled with the 11cm long nails hidden in the pads, which were like daggers, every slap would be equivalent to being stabbed into the body by several daggers. It was obvious that it would definitely not feel good. logo Chapter 284 ? 284 Siberian Tiger, Choosing Location When Bell was browsing the photos of the Siberian tigers online, he could already feel the pressure from the top of the food chain. Fortunately, the number of wild Siberian tigers had decreased. Even in the entire Far East Siberia, there were less than 500 of them. Therefore, the possibility of encountering them was very low. What Bell really needed to prepare for was the cold. Although he had the Frost Bloodline and was immune to the cold to a certain extent, he was not completely immune to it. The cold in Siberia had long exceeded the tolerance of ordinary people. Although -60¡ãC would not freeze him to death immediately, he could easily get frostbites. For the entire day, Bell planned his survival route in Siberia. If he wanted to survive, a plan was necessary. If anything went wrong, he might encounter fatal danger. This was definitely not a joke. He might really die. In Siberia, the cold night was different from the Arctic Circle. In the Arctic, Bell could choose to dig a snow cave to spend the night. But in the Siberian icefield, just having a shelter was not enough for Bell to survive the cold night. If he could not manage a fire, he would definitely freeze to death. After having made the plan, Bell headed to the Russian embassy. The border crossing of Russia was quite strict. Bell waited for three days before his visa was approved. While waiting, Bell did not waste time. He bought some necessary equipment, mainly clothes to prevent cold. It was not an exaggeration to say that in the hinterland of Siberia, as long as you stood in the wild, you would be frostbitten if you did not move for a few minutes. Bell entrusted Lin Xiaoxiao with his clothing which included thick gloves, cotton socks, snow boots, scarves, and thermal underwear. These were genuine clothings. He had worked with Lin Xiaoxiao for a long time. When she learned that Bell was going to Siberia, Lin Xiaoxiao was very excited and interested in participating. But considering the dangers, she chose to give up. The coldest time in Siberia was around January. It was not too far away. Therefore, Bell had to hurry and finish the program. The show soon began. The production team also knew the danger of this episode. Fortunately, they did not give Bell any problems this time. Bell went alone to record. He took the plane and rushed to Yakutsk. Yakutsk was the coldest city in the world. It was located in the far east of Siberia, less than 500 kilometers from the Arctic Circle. Bell¡¯s first task would be to get a helicopter to send him to the icy plain 300 kilometers away from the Arctic Circle. He could move south when he got there. The southern part of Siberia was adjacent to Mongolia, and the temperature was slightly higher. Of course, this was not the only reason Bell chose this survival route. Another reason was that the Siberian Railway was there. If everything went smoothly, he could take the train and leave the icy plain. As for the location, Bell had a good reason. Why was it about 300 kilometers away? The main reason was that it was in a Siberian forest county. Once he passed this area, it would be difficult to find wood again. It would be extremely difficult to start a fire. Walking out of the airport, the cold wind blew on Bell¡¯s skin, making him shiver. A thick layer of ice condensed on the ground. Bell was not surprised. He had already known before coming that Yakutsk was built on a layer of frozen soil. Therefore, no matter what building it was, it would be built on stilts, maintaining a height of a few feet from the ground. Because if the house was built directly on the frozen soil, the high temperature in the house would cause the frozen soil to melt, causing the house to collapse. Perhaps some people would not believe that there were no taxis at the airport in Yakutsk from November to January. It was difficult to see cars not only in the airport, but in the entire city. Because the extremely low temperature would cause the tires to rupture. Coupled with the extremely slippery ice ground, almost no one would choose to drive in this season. Fortunately, the temperature in Yakutsk was not too low during the day. The temperature was about -35 ¡ãC. If you listened carefully, you could even hear the sound of your breath turning into frost. Even though he was wearing thick gloves, Bell still felt like his fingers were going numb from the cold. The extreme low temperature forced people to move constantly. Before the broadcast even began, Bell felt that his journey to survival had already started. Carrying his bag, he began to rush towards the city center. After running, Bell felt much better. His blood flowed, and the heat spread to his body again. His limbs warmed up again. Along the way, Bell saw nothing but white. There were not many people on the streets. Every winter, because of the influence of the Arctic Circle, the sunlight was extremely short. If there was no need, the people here would not come out of their house the whole day. The houses built here also had layers of thermal insulation measures. When Bell arrived at the hotel, he walked into the hall and immediately felt a heat wave. Feeling the temperature again, he couldn¡¯t help but heave a sigh of relief. He wished he could stay here and not go out. The building did not have collective heating, the heat was usually provided by the hotel. A standard single room cost 85 dollars a day and an additional 15 dollars for heating. In addition to the hotel, every house in the city had a fireplace. The residents here burnt a lot of wood every winter. Of course, some remote areas would also choose to use more traditional heating materials. That was cow dung. They smeared cow dung on the wall to resist the cold. When the wood was burned out, they could be used to replace fuel. logo Chapter 285 ? 285 The Show Begins Bell found his room. Not long after he entered, the production team called him. They told Bell the exact time the helicopter would take off. With the production team¡¯s arrangements, Bell did not need to worry about these details. He only needed to enjoy this blissful time quietly for a while. Bell tasted authentic Russian food in the hotel. Smoked sausage and bread. It had to be said that the sausages here tasted good. He cut it open and could smell the rich fragrance of meat. Holding the sausage with bread, Bell took a big bite. Although the texture of the black bread was slightly rough, it was a rare delicacy with this sausage. It matched Russia¡¯s forthright and rough personality. But a black bread with sausage was clearly not enough to fill Bell. At most, it could only be treated as an appetizer. Then, Bell ordered salmon and a large lamb chop. Smoked fish were naturally indispensable here. Bell had a comfortable dinner. After enjoying the food, Bell returned to his room to rest. According to the production team¡¯s arrangements, he would have to start the Wilderness Survival tomorrow. Lying in bed, Bell did not forget to send a notification on his Weibo to inform his fans that Wilderness Survival would start again. After knowing that Bell was going to broadcast again, the comments section on Weibo exploded again. ¡°The sixth episode of Wilderness Survival, Siberian Icefield, will begin tomorrow.¡± The next morning. Bell got up early. He could not feel any warmth, although the sunlight shone on the surroundings. There were over 220,000 people living in this city. But even with such a large population, the city was not large. If it were in China, it might only be equivalent to a county. Soon, the production team sent someone to bring Bell to the helicopter. After boarding the helicopter, Bell turned on the live broadcast equipment. The helicopter rose. Bell¡¯s live-stream opened again. The time difference between Yakutsk and Beijing was less than an hour, so it did not affect the audience from China. The audience in the live-stream who had been waiting for a long time immediately rushed in. What surprised Bell was that the two gold medals he had won in the Olympics had attracted nearly five million new viewers. These viewers had seen Bell¡¯s brilliant performance in the Olympics. Of course, the famous scene was naturally the scene of Bell biting off the gold medal. It was really funny. Many people thought that Bell was a secret athlete nurtured by the country. They did not expect Bell to be a host. Therefore, many people came over to take a look. Soon, the helicopter arrived at an altitude of more than 2,000 meters. Bell glanced below from the edge of his seat. ¡°Dear audience, I¡¯m glad to see you again. I¡¯m now above the Siberian Icefield. This is a cold, dry grassland. The whole Siberia¡¯s area is 13.1 million square kilometers, much larger than the entire United States.¡± ¡°My current location should be in the hinterland of Siberia. Soon, the helicopter will send me to a place 320 kilometers away from the Arctic Circle. The highest temperature there would not exceed -40 ¡ãC. Moreover, due to the influence of the Arctic Circle, there are only four hours of sunlight every day. ¡± The helicopter flew for two hours and finally arrived at the location arranged by the production team. Bell pointed at the tree line below and said. ¡°This place is much more difficult than the Arctic Circle. Not only is the environment harsh, but the world¡¯s largest feline species, Siberian tigers, also live here. In addition, brown bears, black bears, lynx, and wolves are all gathered here. ¡± ¡°Now, I will show everyone how to survive in the most extreme environment on Earth and successfully return to the civilized world. If you do not have proficient survival skills, you might not even be able to last a few minutes here. I¡¯m not joking. The night here is over -60 degrees Celsius. It can freeze a person to death in a few minutes. Let¡¯s begin.¡± At this moment, the pilot of the helicopter turned around and nodded at Bell, indicating that he had reached the height of parachuting. Bell smiled and gave a thumbs up. Then, without hesitation, he jumped out of the cabin. The audience in the live-stream was satisfied when they saw that Bell had started a new program so quickly. ¡°Haha, I didn¡¯t expect Bell to become so diligent after participating in the Olympics. Was he taught a lesson by the coach?¡± ¡°How does it feel to get a gold medal?¡± ¡°Host, can I ask silently how the taste of the gold medal is?¡± ¡°Haha, so our athlete is actually an outdoor host.¡± ¡°Friends, welcome. Please give the host some fan cards and subscriptions. We will be endlessly grateful.¡± ¡°Wow, over -60? How cold is that?¡± ¡°Previous poster, I can tell you that if you use the toilet outside in that temperature, it¡¯s best to take some safety measures.¡± ¡°A new episode of the gourmet food show. What will we eat this time, Bell?¡± ¡°Hmm, are there penguins here?¡± ¡°Hehe, have you heard of someone discovering penguins in the Arctic?¡± ¡°Hmm, are the ingredients for this round Siberian tigers?¡± The audience in the live-stream teased. Bell fell freely in the air, feeling like his blood was about to freeze. When he estimated that he was about 500 meters from the ground, Bell opened the parachute. A height of 2,400 meters was not anything special for diving. What Bell used was also a rapid-landing parachute. The main reason was that it was too cold here. If he used a normal parachute, although it was safe, Bell would have to float in the air for more than ten minutes. If that happened, he would probably freeze before he could land. Floating in the air, Bell tried to control the direction of the parachute. He tried his best to avoid the trees. At the same time, he looked around to see if there was a suitable place to land. logo Chapter 286 ? 286 Landing ¡°The parachute I¡¯m using now is a rapid-landing parachute. It can let us land quickly. The temperature in the sky is really too cold, but I have to warn everyone here. If you are interested in parachuting, please do not imitate my actions. I can do this because I have a certain level of proficiency in this.¡± Using the parachute, Bell quickly landed on the ground and quickly moved his arms and legs to let the blood flow again. He explained to the audience in the live-stream. ¡°In the hinterland of Siberia, it continues to snow for eight months every year. From September to May, the snow can even accumulate up to five or six meters.¡± Bell stepped on the ground. ¡°Don¡¯t think that I¡¯m stepping on the frozen soil. This is only because the temperature is too low, causing this place to become a pancake. The real frozen soil is at least a meter deep under this snow.¡± At this moment, Bell finally regained some feeling in his hands and feet. While he was in good condition, Bell quickly took off his backpack and stuffed the parachute inside. ¡°Even in the day, the average temperature here is -40 ¡ãC. At night, it can reach a terrifying -65 ¡ãC. The lowest temperature can even reach -70 ¡ãC. Because you are all behind the screen, you can¡¯t understand how cold it is now. ¡± At this point, Bell breathed out before the camera. The audience in the live-stream could clearly see the white gas that Bell breathed out quickly freeze in the air. ¡°Did everyone see that? In less than a minute, frost has already formed on my eyebrows. If you stood still here, you would freeze to death in less than five minutes. This is also why I said that if you don¡¯t have suitable techniques, you won¡¯t even be able to survive for a few minutes.¡± ¡°Firstly, if you want to stay here, you have to keep moving and let your blood circulate. Otherwise, once you stop, the extreme low temperature will freeze your blood in a few minutes.¡± Bell put on his backpack again and looked south. ¡°Our survival route this time is to head south where the temperature is higher. It is not realistic to walk out of Siberia on foot, especially when it is winter now. So I think we will use another method. There is the longest railway in the world in Siberia, Trans-Siberian Railway. As long as we can find that railway, we can leave on it.¡± ¡°Everyone, follow my footsteps and experience the scenery here.¡± It had only been a minute since Bell dropped the parachute. But in this short minute, Bell still felt his hands and feet lose feeling. Bell did not dare to delay any longer. He had to move quickly. In the eastern region of Siberia, the sun sometimes gave people the illusion that it had just risen and was about to set again. Bell walked through the tree line alone and looked at the sun that was still hanging in the sky. ¡°Because of the influence of the Arctic Circle, the sunlight here is very short, only four hours. Once the sun sets, the temperature outside will drop to -55 ¡ãC. As for midnight, it will be the lowest temperature.¡± ¡°It¡¯s different from Alaska. If we can make a snow cave there, we can at least make do for a night.¡± ¡°But if I dare to do this here, it will be no different from courting death. Without a fire, I will definitely be frozen into a popsicle.¡± Humans were not machines. They needed to rest and their bodies would be in a still state at that time. If there was no source of temperature absorption at low temperatures, they would naturally lose their heat quickly. Until now, Bell had never heard of anyone who could rest safely at -60 ¡ãC without any sources of warmth. Even with Bell¡¯s current attributes, it was impossible to do this. Not to mention -65 degrees Celsius, even at this temperature of -40 degrees, Bell felt that he could freeze to death if he slept just like that. Because there were only four hours of sunlight, there would only be around six hours of day time even if you counted the time for the sun to rise and set. In other words, Bell only had this time to move. In these six hours, he allocated about two hours to build a shelter and search for food. The Siberian Railway covered a total of 9,289 kilometers. It took seven days and six nights to reach the end of the railway track from the start. He was about 180 kilometers away from the Siberian Railway. Yesterday, at the hotel, Bell had already asked the train station in advance and learned that the train had set off from Moscow. According to the speed, it should pass by here on the afternoon of the sixth day. This meant that Bell had to reach the railway before noon on the sixth day. He had to travel for four hours during the six hours of daytime. He could not travel less than 30 kilometers every day. Otherwise, he would not be able to catch the train. This was definitely an extremely difficult test. If he missed this train, he would have to wait for three days. In such a harsh environment, he did not want to stay for a second longer, so he had to speed up as much as possible. After crossing a snow slope, Bell sat on the ground and breathed heavily. The slope of the snow slope was not big, but the snow was too hard, causing the ground to be slippery. Bell took out a scarf from his backpack and wrapped it around his head, leaving only his eyes uncovered. Then, he put on the down jacket and hat. ¡°It¡¯s really cold here. I can¡¯t feel my ears anymore. I suspect that it might fall off at any moment. We have to wrap our mouths and noses tightly. If they are exposed for too long, breathing cold air will easily cause frostbite in our lungs and respiratory tract.¡± Rubbing his eyes, Bell finally understood what it was like to have his eyelids freeze. logo Chapter 287 ? 287 A Vicious Person In extremely cold conditions, tears would subconsciously fall. This was also a self-protection mechanism of the human body. But the tears that flowed out would freeze in this low temperature. If you accidentally blink at this moment, congratulations, your eyelids will freeze. The Siberian Icefield in winter was like a forbidden zone. The silence here could torture people to madness. Walking on the snow, Bell could only hear the whistling wind and the muffled sound of the snow as he walked on them. The trees that could live in such an environment were coniferous trees. Because they had various ways to help them resist the cold of -60 ¡ãC like their needles being covered with protective, waxy coating that slows water vapor loss. This was good news for Bell. Because of their protection against the cold, the wood could be easily ignited and burn longer. Bell walked to a dead pine tree. He reached out and patted the tree trunk. ¡°I don¡¯t like the winter here because it¡¯s too bleak. It is very difficult to see other animals here. Even large hunting animals like brown bears and black bears often hide in their caves to hibernate in this season and use the fat stored in autumn to survive this cold winter. But we don¡¯t have such convenient conditions. The more extreme the environment, the more we need to eat and replenish a large amount of energy to maintain the core temperature in our bodies. Once you find an opportunity to eat, don¡¯t miss it.¡± Bell took out the dagger tied to his calf and began to peel the dead pine tree. Bell did not forget to explain. ¡°Pine beetles often like to rest in these dead pine trees. They would lay their larvae inside. Although these larvae are very small, fortunately, they have high protein content. ¡± While speaking, Bell had already peeled off a piece of dead pine bark. Soon, Bell found a white larva the size of a fingernail. Bell ate it in one bite and continued to search. After working for more than ten minutes, he only found five larvae. ¡°By the way, there¡¯s something I forgot to say. Be careful not to let your skin come into contact with metal in this environment.¡± He took off his gloves and pressed the side of the dagger against his palm. In less than two seconds, the dagger and his hand seemed to be covered in glue. He gently pulled it twice and it did not fall. ¡°Do you see that? In such a short time, the metal can firmly stick to your skin. If you pull hard, you will easily injure yourself. ¡± ¡°This is mainly because metal itself is a very heat-conducting substance. Friends who live in the northeast should have some experience when they were young.¡± At this point, Bell smiled evilly. However, Bell did not explain the reason. The dagger was stuck to his hand. Bell could not take it off forcefully. He turned his back to the live broadcast. Then, a warmth came from his lower body, and the dagger fell from his palm. After wiping the dagger, he continued. ¡°In this environment, this is the only way I can think of to make the dagger fall off. Of course, if you accidentally touch your face or tongue, I can¡¯t do anything about it. I suggest you take it off by force.¡± The audience in the live-stream burst out laughing. ¡°Hahaha, how can it be stuck to your face?¡± ¡°What¡¯s impossible about it?¡± ¡°Previous poster, let me tell you a secret. In the northeast, the railing is sweet.¡± ¡°F*ck, are you a demon?¡± ¡°I can vouch for it. It¡¯s indeed sweet, sweeter than honey.¡± ¡°That might be because of diabetes.¡± Some fans in the live-stream lost their composure. Looking at the comments, even Bell was speechless. Good lord, these guys really had comments about everything. He put on his gloves and rubbed them. His hands were already numb from the cold. He did not dare to delay any longer and continued to move forward. Of course, Bell did not forget to interact with the audience. ¡°Let me remind everyone. Although the railing in the northeast is sweet in winter, I still suggest that you don¡¯t lick it. When an Englishman was climbing the crevasse, he could not free his hand and held the ice ax in his mouth. In the end, because the temperature was too low, his tongue and mouth were stuck. He had no way to get warm water at that time, so he could only choose the most violent method. In the end, a large piece of skin was torn off. It¡¯s obvious how painful it was. ¡± ¡°So what does this story tell us?¡± ¡°Of course, it¡¯s to tell us that having more skills is not a burden. Sometimes, peeing can help us.¡± They thought that Bell was going to teach them some survival skills, but who knew that he would suddenly make a sharp turn. The people in the live-stream almost could not react. Time passed slowly. A layer of frost formed on Bell¡¯s mouth and nose, and the bone-chilling wind kept whistling. Although it was only -43 ¡ãC outside, the cold wind increased the consumption of heat in Bell¡¯s body, causing his body to consume heat at the same rate as moving in -50 ¡ãC. He could even clearly feel the consumption of his energy. It was many times greater than when he was in the Arctic Circle. The larvae he had just eaten were clearly not enough to make up for the lost heat. While walking in the snow forest, Bell looked around, hoping to find something edible. ¡°This damn snow buried everything below. It makes it extremely difficult for us to find food. Actually, the ideal outcome is to encounter some large mammals, such as deer. If we can capture a deer, the next few days will be easy. ¡± However, Bell knew very well that he was not the only one looking for food on this icy plain. Other than the Siberian tiger, the tundra wolves were also his competitor. logo Chapter 288 ? 288 Short Sunrise, Extreme Cold The tundra wolf was one of the largest subspecies of the gray wolf. It can grow to two meters long and could reach 70 kilograms. Moreover, like other wolf-type animals, they also lived in groups. Every tundra wolf had a pack. Under normal circumstances, there should be about 10 of them in a pack. They had a strict hierarchy and were good at using tactics. In this environment, if Bell fought with fifteen of them, he could only reach a draw. These creatures ran too quickly on the icy plain. Even Bell¡¯s physique could not compare to theirs. In addition, although his outerwear could prevent the cold, it would burden him to a certain extent. It made Bell much less agile. Tundra wolves were fundamentally different from Yukon wolves. The tundra wolf could crush the Yukon wolf in terms of size and speed. Even the Siberian tiger, which was at the top of the food chain, would not provoke the tundra wolf pack for no reason. Of course, this also depended on the situation. Even brown bears were on their food list, let alone tundra wolves. Although the Siberian tiger was at the top of the food chain on this icy plain, in terms of activity, the tundra wolf was the most active. Their numbers had become a calamity for nearby human habitats. In the past few decades, the Russian government would hunt a certain number of tundra wolves every year to ensure the stability of the surrounding countryside. Time passed quickly. The sun that was hanging high above Bell¡¯s head was falling to the west at an unbelievable speed. There was no morning or evening in Siberia in winter. When you see the sun here, it would already be hanging high above your head. Bell pointed at the sun and said. ¡°Do you see that? The sun has already begun to set. If I¡¯m not wrong, it should be around two in the afternoon in China. It was the time when the sun was the brightest. But it was going to be dark soon here. It is already setting without it even being evening. Ordinary survivalists can¡¯t arrange their time reasonably in this area due to this.¡± ¡°Although you might think the sun is still high above now, it will only take half an hour for it to set completely. Half an hour later, this icy plain will be completely enveloped by darkness. Once there is no sunlight, the temperature on the icy plain will drop by more than ten degrees. Therefore, the most important thing now is to find our shelter and think of a way to start a fire. This is the only way to ensure our safety.¡± Bell¡¯s plan was quite thorough. The large tree line provided him with the materials to start a fire, so he did not have to worry about insufficient materials. Bell¡¯s problem now was to build a shelter. It was clearly unrealistic to dig a cave here. Because the temperature was too low, the ground was extremely firm. As long as he dug down for more than ten centimeters, it would be as difficult as digging a cement ground. After walking for about ten minutes, Bell was surprised to find a sunken area in front of him. The depth was about a meter. It was like a drain. Bell walked forward and observed. ¡°I think our shelter has been found. If we build a shelter here, it can block the cold wind for us. At the same time, it is very stealthy. It can be considered a good choice. ¡± In the extremely cold weather, Bell definitely could not sleep on the ground. He would look for some wooden sticks and make a suspended wooden bed. This way, he could sleep away from the ground at night. Moreover, if it was high enough, he could move the fire below to maintain his temperature. Bell immediately put down his backpack and prepared to collect the wooden sticks. The ditch was about half a meter wide. Bell chose some wooden sticks that satisfied him. Then, he cut it into the same length with the dagger. Then, he cut holes in the ice to hold the wooden sticks in place. After doing all this, Bell heaved a sigh of relief. In fact, Bell was forced to stop. Because after working for a while, Bell felt that his hands were about to freeze. ¡°No, we have to start a fire first. It¡¯s too cold here. I feel like my hands are so cold that I can¡¯t even move them. If we don¡¯t start a fire now, I¡¯ll probably freeze to death before the shelter is built.¡± Bell put down the wooden stick and returned to the tree line. He found some pine branches to start a fire. Then, he squatted on the ground and kept rubbing his hands to let his blood flow. Drilling wood to start a fire was a delicate job. It was not easy to start a fire with gloves. After rubbing his hands for a while, Bell¡¯s hands finally regained some feeling. Bell decided to start the fire as soon as possible. He picked up the wooden stick he had prepared in advance. Bell¡¯s hands moved quickly, almost turning into afterimages. The audience in the live-stream could not even see his actions clearly. In just twenty seconds, green smoke was already rising from the groove. Bell couldn¡¯t help but smile. He did not dare to stop and quickly sped up. A few seconds later, black smoke appeared from the groove. ¡°F*ck, the host¡¯s hand speed is good.¡± ¡°Bell is still so young, but he has already mastered the divine technique?¡± ¡°You¡¯re really a god.¡± ¡°As expected, traditional hand art can be used in the wilderness.¡± ¡°F*ck, I don¡¯t think I should go out and court death. With my speed, I¡¯m afraid I won¡¯t be able to start a fire even if I freeze to death.¡± ¡°Bell said that people will freeze to death in a few minutes. Is that true? Why don¡¯t I believe it?¡± ¡°Previous poster, you really haven¡¯t experienced -40 degrees before.¡± Bell had no time to look at the comments in the live-stream. At this moment, he had already poured all the ashes into the kindling he had prepared in advance. In order to start a fire as soon as possible, Bell had prepared a lot of shavings. After blowing, the fire rose. There was a lot of pine resin in the pine needles, so the fire was stronger. After adding a few thin firewood, the fire was stabilized. logo Chapter 289 ? 289 The Importance of Shelter Feeling the temperature from the fire, Bell heaved a sigh of relief. ¡°The feeling of warmth is really good.¡± As the temperature rose, Bell¡¯s hands gradually regained feeling. While his hands regained feeling, Bell decided to finish the rest of his work as soon as possible. After all, it was already getting dark. While his fingers were still agile, Bell cut the holes in the ice wall. He only needed to insert the wooden stick into the hole and the wooden bed would be completed in a moment. Moreover, when he was digging the hole, Bell deliberately left some gaps so that he could move the fire below to keep warm when he slept. The fire moved to the bottom of the wooden bed. The rising hot air could make it warmer. Lying on the wooden bed and looking at the setting sun, Bell straightened his expression. ¡°We have to build a roof above to increase the concealment of the shelter. I don¡¯t want to wake up in the middle of the night and sleep with wild beasts. ¡± Bell stood up again and began to work. Fortunately, compared to making a wooden bed, making a roof was much simpler. He only needed to find some branches and lay them on the ditch. He even laid some pine needles to preserve the warmth. Bell moved the fire to the shelter. Then, he gathered more firewood. His preparations for the night were almost completed. ¡°Now, we can use the parachute to cover the exit. This way, our shelter will be tighter, and the temperature produced by the fire will be more concentrated. Perhaps we can really have a good sleep tonight.¡± Bell opened his backpack. In fact, be it the rapid-landing parachute or the normal parachute, the material was the same. It was both windproof and waterproof. The surface of the parachute was very smooth and could reflect heat to a certain extent. Therefore, it could preserve heat from dissipating. Bell took out the parachute and covered the exit with it. Bell pressed the wooden stick firmly against the gap. After a few minutes, Bell could clearly feel that the temperature in the shelter had increased. Sitting beside the fire, Bell could finally take out his scarf and warm himself. After taking off his shoes, his feet were completely numb from the cold. Bell moved his feet to the fire. ¡°I really hate this feeling of cold, especially when it is so cold to the point that my limbs are numb. Losing feeling in my hands and feet makes me feel insecure. ¡± Time passed slowly. Just as Bell had said, the sky turned completely dark. The night in Siberia was not as dark as the rainforest. The starlight here reflected on the snow, allowing people to barely see something. With nothing to do, Bell added more wood to the fire. ¡°We have to stay in this shelter for 18 hours tonight. The temperature outside should have already reached -55 ¡ãC. Moreover, as time passes, the temperature will continue to decrease.¡± It was about three in the afternoon in China. Some of the audience watching Bell¡¯s video were enjoying the afternoon sun. Unfortunately, Bell could only feel the cold wind on the cold winter night. This made Bell feel helpless. Fortunately, he had such a shelter. Otherwise, even with the fire, it would be difficult for him to survive the night. On such a cold night, even the wolves would not come out to hunt. Although they had lived in this environment for more than a thousand years, there was still a possibility of freezing to death. This was also why this place was called a forbidden zone. In this temperature, all life was the same. But there were pros and cons. In this long and cold night, it was not all bad for Bell. Although it was very difficult to find food in this environment, because of the fire, he would consume much less calories. This also made him feel less hungry. In fact, it had only been six hours since Bell woke up in the Yakutsk Hotel. He was not sleepy at all. He sat beside the fire and put wood in it from time to time while chatting with the audience in the live-stream. ¡°In a cold place like Siberia, a fire and shelter are necessary to pass the night. I have a real story that I can share with everyone.¡± ¡°A few years ago, a zoologist came to this Siberian plain alone. It was to record the natural survival state of the Siberian tigers in Siberia during winter. He followed the tracks of a Siberian tiger. When he arrived at a lake, the ice cracked and he fell in. Although he was lucky to climb ashore, all his resources sank to the bottom of the lake. However, this zoologist was still very smart. He used an ice piece to create a magnifying glass to start a fire. With the help of the fire, he survived in this cold icy plain for three days. By the time the rescue team discovered him, the skin and muscle tissue on this zoologist¡¯s back had already been deeply frostbitten, reaching a necrotic state. ¡± Bell tapped his back again. ¡°Although the fire can provide you with a certain temperature, it can only maintain the core temperature on your front. The cold wind in the middle of the night is enough to kill. Although I¡¯m in the shelter, I can still feel a chill down my spine. ¡± At this moment, Bell suddenly smiled and brought the sharp wooden stick in his hand to the camera. ¡°These are the two walking sticks I just made. With them, it will be much easier for us to walk. Perhaps we can use them as an ice ax if the need be. ¡± After chatting with the audience in the live-stream for a while, Bell placed the fire under the wooden bed. Because his wooden bed was only half a meter above the ground, he had to make sure the fire was as low as possible. Otherwise, it would not be fun if his wooden makeshift-bed was burned by the fire in the middle of the night. Bell lay on the wooden bed and felt the heat from his backpack. It was quite comfortable. It was already very rare to have such treatment in the wilderness of Siberia. As for hunger, it was a small matter. It was already extremely lucky to be alive here. But soon, Bell discovered a new problem. logo Chapter 290 ? 290 Footprints If Bell slept while lying on bed, his front would be too cold. But if he bent over, his back would feel uncomfortable. After tossing and turning for a long time, Bell felt that it was best to lie sideways. Bell did not turn off his live broadcast. The main reason was that the fans in the live-stream were too enthusiastic and insisted that he leave the live-stream on. Bell could not do anything about it. The long night seriously disturbed Bell¡¯s biological clock. Bell slept intermittently. Bell woke up almost every hour or two. Of course, this was not entirely because the night was too long. He needed to add some firewood to the fire under the wooden bed to ensure the temperature in the shelter. According to Bell¡¯s estimation, the temperature difference between the shelter and the outside world was about 40 ¡ãC. The temperature outside had reached about -65 ¡ãC. His shelter temperature was about -20 ¡ãC. Of course, even at this temperature, ordinary people would not be able to sleep without a fire. Bell tossed and turned until dawn. Around 9 am, the sky finally lit up. Bell who opened the roof felt a cold wind blow on his face. Bell, who had long adapted to the temperature in the shelter, shivered. The sun had yet to rise fully. However, he could see some things through the faint light. It had been about two hours since the sun rose, and it was not completely dark. He could more or less see something. From this moment on, the temperature in the outside world would gradually increase. He pulled off his parachute. Without any cover, the cold air from the outside surged in. Bell did not dare to delay. He quickly put away the parachute and carried his backpack. He also took out his scarf and wrapped it around his head. After completing this series of preparations, Bell had no choice but to walk out of this warm harbor. After leaving the shelter, Bell¡¯s eyebrows and scarf were immediately covered in frost. Bell could only breathe heavily. He continued to move forward with difficulty in this cold environment. ¡°We have to reach the railway 180 kilometers away in six days. This way, we can take the train and leave. If we miss it, we will have to wait for another three days on this icy plain. I don¡¯t want to stay in such a place for a moment longer. Three days is too long. Therefore, we have to hurry up.¡± After walking for a while, Bell felt the blood in his body flow. It was not as cold as before. This side of Siberia had a size of 8.95 million square kilometers, all covered in pine trees. Unlike the Arctic Circle in Alaska, this place was not that desolate. Instead, the vegetation was lush. But at the same time, this lush vegetation also increased the number of animals living here. Bell¡¯s luck was not good. In this wilderness, there seemed to be nothing that could move except himself. Unknowingly, the sun was already hanging in the sky. Bell was stunned when he looked up. The sun rose silently. Most importantly, it was too cold outside, and the light was not obvious. Bell squatted down and adjusted the camera to aim at the snow on the ground. The hard snow layer seemed to have been smashed open by something, revealing the dry grass below. At the same time, he could see some footprints of different depths on the snow not far ahead. Bell pointed at the dry grass and said excitedly. ¡°Look, look at these. There might be animals like deers passing by. ¡°In winter, these animals often use their hard and powerful hooves to push away the snow to find food.¡± While speaking, Bell carefully observed these footprints and finally came to a conclusion. ¡°According to my observation, these footprints were not left by red deers. Because their feet are bigger and smoother. If I¡¯m not wrong, these should be the footprints left by a roe deer. It would be great if I could eat hot deer meat in this snowy weather. ¡± Bell licked his lips as he spoke, as if he could already imagine the taste. He looked in the direction of the footprints left in the snow. ¡°The direction this roe deer left is in line with the direction we are going. In that case, we cannot miss it. We have to follow and see if we can catch it. ¡± After making the decision, Bell did not delay. He stood up and chased after the footprints. Of course, although he knew that the prey was not a ferocious beast, Bell did not let down his guard. Instead, he tensed up even more. ¡°Don¡¯t relax at a time like this. Chasing prey in the wild is a very dangerous thing. Because in this extreme environment, we are not the only ones looking for prey. Top predators like Siberian tigers and wolves are also wandering around, looking for prey to fill their stomachs. Compared to these predators, we have no advantage at all. If we unfortunately bump into them, we will probably have to be added to their dinner.¡± Although Bell said it very seriously, the audience in the live-stream did not buy it. They expressed that Bell was bragging. ¡°I don¡¯t believe you. You¡¯re very bad.¡± ¡°Black Caiman: This kid said the same thing before he met me.¡± ¡°The Amazon rainforest jaguar quietly left the live-stream.¡± ¡°I don¡¯t think Bell¡¯s true prey is this roe deer at all.¡± ¡°This trick is a little too old. Host, do some research.¡± Seeing that the audience in the live-stream did not buy it, Bell rolled his eyes helplessly. What could he do? Every time he encountered these dangerous predators, he had to be very passive. If not for the fact that he had no choice, Bell would not have fought these dangerous guys. He liked exploring, not courting death. He followed the footprints. After walking for about an hour in the snow, Bell suddenly stopped and looked ahead, frowning. logo Chapter 291 ? 291 Extreme Low Temperature, Tundra Wolf Looking at the footprints ahead, Bell suddenly frowned and stopped. ¡°Unfortunately, this roe deer suddenly changed direction. It¡¯s different from what we expected.¡± This situation made it difficult for Bell to choose. He was really pressed for time. The journey he had to travel every day was fixed. If he continued to track this deer, he would undoubtedly waste a lot of time. Most importantly, he was not completely confident that he could capture the prey. But Bell, who had been hungry for a day, really needed food to replenish the proteins in his body. In this environment, it was very difficult to find food. If he could have a hot meal, not only could he replenish his stamina, but he could also feel much better. It was also a form of spiritual comfort. After some thought, Bell finally chose a compromise. ¡°We can¡¯t give up on traveling for food. But we cannot miss the food too. Therefore, I¡¯ve decided to try tracking it for half an hour. If we can¡¯t catch the prey in half an hour, we will continue to travel at full speed.¡± In fact, Bell was still unwilling to give up. His schedule was indeed tight, but food was equally important in this environment. He had not eaten anything since yesterday except for a few insects. Resisting the cold also required energy. If he kept going hungry, he would only feel the weather getting colder. After making the decision, Bell held the hiking stick and continued to follow the footprints. This Siberian pine forest was similar to a tropical rainforest. It was also easy to get lost in the forest. In this environment, once they got lost, death was almost a certainty. Even if the person had enough survival skills, the chances of survival were still slim if they could not find food. In fact, many people thought that the coldest places on Earth should be the South Pole and the North Pole. After all, they were places where the sunlight could not reach. But that was not the case. Although the South Pole and the North Pole were cold, they were still inferior to the land under Bell¡¯s feet. In winter, the daytime temperature in Siberia¡¯s Far Eastern Plains could reach -45 ¡ãC. In the evening, the average temperature was -65 ¡ãC. At extreme times, it would reach a terrifying -71.2 ¡ãC. Perhaps some people did not know what -71.2 ¡ãC meant. For example, in this temperature, once you fell into the water, you would have to climb ashore in a few seconds. Otherwise, you would immediately be frozen into a popsicle. No one would want to try such a thing. Even just looking at the photo of the scene here would be enough to feel the temperature here. This indirectly proved how terrifying the environment was. After walking for about 20 minutes, Bell was about to give up. But at this moment, some different footprints suddenly appeared in front of him. But the direction was the same as the footprints of the roe deer. Bell looked at it and came to a conclusion. These were the footprints of some tundra wolves. After coming to this conclusion, Bell stood up and said excitedly. ¡°As I said before, we are not the only ones tracking this prey. Do you see these footprints on the ground? These are the footprints left by the tundra wolves. Their goal should be the same as ours. They also discovered the traces of this deer, so they followed it. ¡± ¡°We can follow and take a look. Maybe we can find some leftovers.¡± Bell did not ask for much. It would be good enough if he could fill his stomach in this environment. As he walked forward, he took out his dagger. ¡°I just saw the audience in the live-stream asking me why I¡¯m confident of getting leftovers. Normally speaking, wolves do not waste food when hunting. They usually eat their prey clean. But the current environment does not allow them to do so. This is -45 ¡ãC. The prey¡¯s body will be frozen within ten minutes of death. When hunting in this situation, the tundra wolves will usually choose to eat the internal organs first. Then, they would start eating from the place with the most fat. By the time they finish eating the remaining meat, it will be frozen solid and they will not be able to eat it. After all, they can¡¯t start a fire like humans. ¡± ¡°By the way, I have to say this. I¡¯m not the first person to do this. The Yakutsk people used to use this method to obtain food. Of course, this is not limited to the wolf pack. Brown bears are the same.¡± Although Bell was chatting with the audience in the live-stream, he did not stop for a moment. Just as he finished speaking, Bell suddenly realized that the footprints on the snow in front of him were becoming messy. This meant that the tundra wolves had already attacked. Bell became vigilant. His footsteps became much lighter. The key was that Bell was not sure if these tundra wolves had gone far. He did not want to be the dessert of these tundra wolves. Tundra wolves were extremely intelligent animals. In addition to moving in a pack , they also knew how to use tactics. Of course, it was also because their intelligence was too high that the people who once lived in Siberia hated them. Whenever winter came and food became scarce, these tundra wolves would attack the pasture and farms in groups. Only in recent years did Russia finally launch a policy. They began to hunt these tundra wolves every year to control their numbers. This made the residents living outside the city live in peace. In fact, a dozen tundra wolves were not scary. As long as you had a shotgun, you could easily chase them away. But the problem was that once there was a lack of food, these wolves would gather into packs of hundreds and thousands. Unless the armed forces were mobilized, these packs were impossible to resist. Moreover, it was because of the trouble these tundra wolves caused to the local residents that some local governments had no choice but to issue a bounty on these tundra wolves. A wolf could give 4000 rubles. With all these measures, the number of tundra wolves was finally controlled. logo Chapter 292 ? 292 Corpse, Leftovers In Siberia, although the Siberian tiger was very ferocious and could even fight a wolf pack alone, it had to hide its fangs when facing hundreds of wolves. In just a few seconds, this top predator would be torn into pieces. With Bell¡¯s current physique, it was not a problem for him to kill more than ten tundra wolves. But if he was ambushed, it would be difficult to say. The tundra wolf¡¯s fur was highly compatible with the color of this snow. They also knew how to use it well. Tundra wolves often hid in the snow and waited for their prey. It was because he knew the habits of these cunning animals that Bell walked very carefully. Only after confirming that it was safe ahead would Bell continue forward. As Bell continued forward, the footprints on the snow became more and more chaotic. Although he did not see it with his own eyes, the tragic scene of the hunt could be seen from the footprints on the snow. Judging from the footprints, there should be five tundra wolves hunting this time. Bell did not think that the roe deer could escape from the five tundra wolves. In fact, Bell¡¯s guess was correct. Some red spots suddenly appeared in Bell¡¯s vision on the snow. It was blood. Seeing the blood, Bell¡¯s eyes lit up and he quickly followed it. After a few steps, he saw the corpse of a roe deer lying in the snow. Blood dyed the surroundings red around the deer¡¯s corpse. In this white world, it looked a little abrupt. Bell gestured for the audience to keep quiet. ¡°Be careful. We can¡¯t let down our guard now. Do not underestimate the intelligence of these wild animals. Although the wolves can¡¯t enjoy this corpse anymore, we can¡¯t rule out the possibility that they will use the remaining food as bait to hunt new prey.¡± Bell looked very serious. ¡°I¡¯m not joking. A real event has happened before. I remember seeing a program before. A pack of tundra wolves killed a red deer, but did not eat it completely. Instead, they left a portion of meat. The remaining meat became bait, and the tundra wolves hid nearby. The smell of blood quickly attracted a lynx. I don¡¯t think I need to tell you the outcome of this lynx.¡± Bell had always thought that wolves were the most cunning and intelligent animals. Animals were much stronger than humans. If these animals had intelligence, they would be quite terrifying. The wolves were such an animal. It was also because of this that their race could survive for tens of millions of years. Bell was about 30 meters away from the roe deer¡¯s corpse. However, he did not continue forward. Instead, he stopped and slowed down his breathing. Without Bell¡¯s voice, the entire pine forest fell silent. In this quiet environment, Bell could even hear his own heartbeat. Other than that, it was difficult to hear anything else. The audience in the live-stream did not know what Bell was doing. But Bell just stood there for five minutes. Only when Bell felt that he was about to freeze did he move again. Bell had not done this for nothing. Using these five minutes, Bell confirmed that there were no tundra wolves around. This made Bell heave a sigh of relief and walk eagerly to the roe deer¡¯s corpse. When he got closer, Bell realized that the roe deer¡¯s internal organs had been completely emptied. The flesh on the abdomen also had traces of being eaten. At this moment, there was not much to eat. After a careful examination, Bell finally found some flesh on the hind legs. Although it was not much, it was enough to fill his stomach. After shaving off all the meat, it was about the size of a palm. It could be said that Bell had not worked for nothing. He cut off the meat and bones with the dagger. Bell did not even let go of the deer¡¯s head. After all, the tongue and brain could be eaten. The brain was rich in proteins and cholesterol. In such an environment where food was scarce, this was definitely something that could not be wasted. ¡°Alright, everyone, we¡¯ve wasted some time, but it¡¯s still worth it. We have to take everything that is useful to us.¡± As he spoke, Bell began to try to skin the roe deer with the dagger. But in this environment, the skin of the deer did not seem easy to peel. The extreme cold made the deer¡¯s skin extremely hard. After a few tries, Bell stopped and frowned. ¡°No, this is too inefficient. Looks like we have to start a fire first. My hands are numb from the cold. It is a little difficult to hold the dagger. ¡± Bell stood up and found some firewood. Soon, a fire was lit. Suppressing the pain in his hand, Bell dragged the roe deer to the fire with difficulty. With the temperature of the fire, Bell finally felt some warmth. ¡°Other than the meat, this deer skin is the most useful to us. When we sleep at night, we can use this skin as a blanket or make a sled.¡± Bell had already thought out how to use this skin. With the warmth from the fire, Bell moved faster. Ten minutes later, an intact orange deerskin was peeled off. Then, Bell stuffed everything into his backpack. His backpack had a lot of space, but it was stuffed full by Bell. After extinguishing the fire, Bell did not dare to delay, and set off again. With food, he was not only relieved, his footsteps were also much lighter although he had not eaten yet. After all, this could be considered as giving him hope. Along the way, Bell became much faster. logo Chapter 293 ? 293 Wild Boar? ¡°Remember not to get lost in this icy plain, because getting lost here is equivalent to being sentenced to death. Of course, I know that this is difficult. However, I can teach everyone a simple method. Every time you walk about 50 meters, you can look back. Check if your footprints are in a straight line. If it¡¯s a straight line, then congratulations, you didn¡¯t deviate much. But if not, you will have to make adjustments in time. I know that this method does not look that good. But sometimes, this simple method is quite effective. For example, the more precise the instrument is, the easier it is to damage it. Tools with simple principles can be used longer. Of course, their usage is also relatively simple. This is also why many explorers and expedition teams will bring a compass with them even if they have advanced positioning equipment. Sometimes, this little thing can save your life. ¡± Bell, who had obtained food, was in a very good mood. At the thought that he could eat hot roasted meat tonight, Bell felt energetic. However, at this moment, Bell, who had been walking briskly, suddenly stopped. About 20 meters ahead of Bell, there was a sunken area between two trees. Bell could see that there was a deep hole and some vapor was coming out from it. The entrance of the hole was not big. It was only the size of an adult¡¯s head. However, because of the distance and the small hole, he could not see the situation inside clearly. A wary expression appeared on Bell¡¯s face. He only heaved a sigh of relief when he was 50 meters away. ¡°I should be out of danger for now. I guess many people are very curious about why I was so nervous just now. In Siberia, if you find such a hole and go to curiously investigate the situation, congratulations on winning the lottery. Your friends can wait to eat at your funeral banquet.¡± ¡°Once you really investigate the situation inside, you will be torn to pieces.¡± ¡°I know what you¡¯re thinking. You think that there might be a fat hare inside. But when you get close, you will only be greeted by a hungry brown bear. ¡± ¡°When brown bears hibernate, they only reduce the consumption of their bodies. It is not a deep sleep, but a light sleep. It lowers its metabolism to a certain extent. But if there are any animals or loud sounds nearby, they can hear it. They will even wake up from hibernation if the temperature of a certain day in the winter is high. The danger level of the brown bear when it wakes up at this moment is comparable to when it is in heat.¡± ¡°F*ck! I saw that black hole too. I really thought there was a hare in there.¡± ¡°This doesn¡¯t make sense. How can such a big black bear crawl into such a small hole?¡± ¡°Bell, it should be much more delicious than the roe deer.¡± ¡°I heard that wild boars are even more powerful than brown bears. Is that true?¡± Looking at the comments in the live-stream, Bell couldn¡¯t help but roll his eyes. Brown bears that were awakened from hibernation dared to fight Siberian tigers head-on. He had only killed a small black bear by luck as he had managed to stay on its back. Otherwise, it would be hard to say who would win. Therefore, although his strength had increased greatly, Bell would not do such a thing unless he had no choice. Seeing that someone in the live-stream was interested in the wild boar, Bell quickly changed the topic. Bell had heard of the saying of a pig, two bears, and three tigers. But after experiencing the wilderness, Bell realized how unbelievable these words were. These conclusions were usually said by older hunters with their experience. Of course, the saying was exaggerated to a certain extent. The audience in the live-stream discussed for a long time. But in the end, no one could convince the other. Therefore, they targeted Bell. After all, Bell had absolute authority in the wilderness. The audience in the live-stream also trusted Bell very much. Looking at the gifts floating on the screen, Bell could only explain. ¡°Alright, everyone, stop arguing. In terms of size, the largest wild boar recorded was 476kg. But this is just the peak record. Generally speaking, the average weight of a wild boar should be between 90 to 200 kilograms. Due to the environment, the wild boars in some areas might be slightly larger, but they would not exceed 250kg. Of course, if it is a mutation, then forget it. Let¡¯s compare the Kodiak brown bear. The largest Kodiak brown bear recorded was 966kg. The average Kodiak brown bear weight is between 300 to 600kg. Although the latter weight is referring to the weight of the Kodiak brown bear when it stores fat for hibernation, even under normal circumstances, the Kodiak brown bear would not weigh less than 320kg. As for the Siberian tiger, the average weight of the male is 215kg. The weight of the female is around 120kg. ¡± Bell spread his hands. ¡°I won¡¯t say anything else. I believe you have guessed the answer.¡± However, Bell¡¯s words still did not change the minds of some stubborn people. There were still many people comparing wild boars to Siberian tigers. Bell could only smile. No matter how strong an ant was, it was still an ant. The Siberian tiger had evolved for so many years. If it could not even hunt wild boars, it would be a joke. After all, wild boars were omnivores. Their physique was naturally much weaker. Under normal circumstances, carnivores weighing more than 100kg could often hunt prey that were twice their weight. On the distant African grassland, lions and cheetahs hunted bison that were several times heavier than them. Moreover, the chances of success were quite high. When the weight of a carnivore exceeds that of its prey, it can basically crush it in a battle. Not to mention the Kodiak brown bear that was far larger than a wild boar, just a Siberian tiger of similar size could instantly kill a wild boar. logo Chapter 294 ? 294 The Stare of Death Whether it was the Siberian tiger or the Kodiak brown bear, they were both apex predators. On the other hand, wild boars were omnivores. Just the terrifying palm of the Kodiak brown bear could smash a tree stump. If the two of them really clashed, the boar¡¯s brains would probably be smashed into pulp. Fortunately, no one wanted to continue arguing about this issue. After chatting for a while, they changed the topic. The new topic was how Bell should deal with this deer. However, Bell did not care. He could eat this roe deer however he wanted. After all, the energy was fixed. Even if he ate it raw, Bell would not feel burdened. However, there was a more important problem in front of Bell. He was considering the issue of his shelter. There was less than half an hour until sunset. If he could not find a shelter before nightfall, it would be difficult to survive tonight. Even if he built a shelter on the spot, there should be no wild beasts coming out to hunt in the cold night. Because even if they found food, they would quickly freeze to death. But the first thing Bell had to consider was how to resist the cold wind. First, he had to use the terrain advantage. Otherwise, it would be useless to just stick some branches on the ground, even if he stuck ten parachutes on them. The other was time. Bell slowed down and began to pay attention to whether there was a suitable place to build a shelter. The sun was setting, and Bell could not help but feel anxious. A natural shelter was not easy to find. Even if there was one, it was often discovered by brown bears or black bears first. Just as Bell was getting vexed, his eyes suddenly lit up. Not far ahead, there was a slightly sunken area between two pine trees. Although this area was not big and was less than half a meter deep, it would be of huge help to Bell. Looking up at the sinking sun, Bell pondered for a moment and kept thinking about how to use this terrain to build a suitable shelter. After all, he did not have time to delay. In the wilderness, one had to be decisive and not hesitate. Don¡¯t think that you can encounter a better choice if you continue moving forward. Once you walk forward with this mentality, the sky will turn dark, and the situation will be extremely bad. After thinking for a moment, his frown gradually relaxed. Bell quickly walked to the two pine trees and used his gloves to dig away the loose snow on the surface of the depression and piled them around the hole. In less than ten minutes, the sunken area that was only about half a meter deep was deepened to a thickness of one meter by Bell. After doing this, Bell found many wooden sticks and piled them inside. The audience in the live-stream was puzzled, not knowing what Bell was doing. Bell had already taken out the parachute from his backpack and was explaining. ¡°The reason why I chose to pile the snow around me is mainly because it can block the cold wind. As for the area above our heads, we have to cover it with the parachute. There is no need to worry about whether the parachute can cover the size of this space. The material of this parachute was very light. Once a fire is started, this thing will open the parachute like a hot air balloon. ¡± While talking, Bell finished laying the parachute on the top. At the same time, Bell did not forget to use the piled snow and wooden sticks to hold it down. After another short while, a ball of fire quickly lit up inside the shelter. Bell quickly added firewood. The weak fire turned into a raging fire in just a moment. Just as Bell had expected, the parachute gradually expanded as the hot air rose. From afar, Bell¡¯s shelter looked like a small Mongolian yurt. Darkness quickly enveloped the forest. The forest was silent. The faint light from Bell¡¯s shelter was a rare warmth in the forest. Looking at the fully raised parachute, Bell smiled. ¡°Alright, this way, we don¡¯t have to worry about the size of this shelter.¡± ¡°Now that the place to stay is settled, it¡¯s time to settle our dinner. ¡°To be honest, I can¡¯t wait.¡± Bell took off the lid of the canteen and stuffed it with snow before placing it on the fire. With the help of the temperature of the fire, traces of water vapor quickly emerged. The snow in the canteen gradually melted into water and was slowly boiling. During this time, Bell began to search his backpack and took out the palm-sized piece of meat he had cut earlier. He cut it into pieces and threw them into the canteen. In the end, even the bones were thrown in. Finally, he took out the deer head from his backpack. This thing really did not look good. Half of its tongue was stuck out of its mouth, and the blood had already frozen from the damn temperature. Its large eyes were staring fixedly at Bell. If it were someone with a weak mentality, they would not be able to endure this. However, Bell had a strong mentality. He only curled his lips in disdain and began to roast the meat. Bell felt a little strange being stared at by this roe deer. He thought for a moment and turned the deer¡¯s head away from him. When the audience in the live-stream saw the roe deer¡¯s gaze, they were shocked. But since they were separated by the screen, everyone quickly reacted. At the same time, they did not forget to tease Bell. ¡°Hahaha, Bell is terrified.¡± ¡°A death stare from a roe deer.¡± ¡°Can it really be eaten?¡± ¡°Previous poster, I can tell that you¡¯ve never tried it before. Deer and goat¡¯s heads are both delicious.¡± ¡°Hehe, delicious my a*s. The last time I went to eat goat¡¯s head, I vomited.¡± logo Chapter 295 ? 295 Food Needs to Be Hardcore In the shelter, the surrounding snow and the parachute above Bell¡¯s head reflected the heat emitted by the fire. In just ten minutes or so, the temperature of the shelter had increased significantly. Bell¡¯s hand slowly regained its agility. He held the dagger and cut a small hole that was about the size of a baby¡¯s fist in the snow. ¡°Our shelter is too small. The burning of the fire will increase the consumption of oxygen, so there has to be a vent to maintain the air flow inside our shelter. Otherwise, we might be poisoned by carbon dioxide. It would not be funny if we cannot get up from our sleep. Of course, if you build such a shelter in the wild, you have to be careful not to create the hole in the direction of the wind. Otherwise, if the cold wind blew in through the hole, the shelter would lose its original effect and be unable to resist the cold. ¡± While Bell was talking, the roe deer head was already sizzling on the fire, accompanied by the smell of meat. Bell quickly rotated the meat and continued to roast it to prevent it from turning charred. There were very few edible parts in the head. There was only the brain, the tongue, and some meat on the cheeks. But no matter what, this was still protein. Bell could not miss it. He still needed these things to replenish his energy. While cooking the food, Bell took off his shoes. After a day of traveling, Bell¡¯s feet were already frozen like a hard weight. He quickly placed them in front of the fire and used the temperature to quickly activate the blood flow. After doing all this, Bell finally had some free time to chat with the audience. ¡°Actually, roasted goat head is a delicacy in Xinjiang. If any of you have hardcore preference in food, you can try it. I heard that the taste is very good.¡± Seeing that Bell was free, the live-stream became lively. Some even asked what was the worst thing Bell had eaten. Seeing this question, Bell thought for a moment and pretended to recall seriously. ¡°Throughout the wilderness survival streams, I have eaten many strange things. I believe everyone has seen it. I will tell you what, during the tenth episode, we will specially release a video to evaluate all the food we have eaten and rank their taste. It should be quite interesting. ¡± In fact, even without Bell saying it, some netizens had already edited the expressions of him eating various things and posted them online. The audience did not have the patience to wait for the tenth episode. Bell thought for a moment and said firmly. ¡°The worst food should be the hump meat I tasted in the Mojave Desert. I feel my stomach turn even when I think about it now. That can¡¯t be described as just disgusting. ¡± While Bell was chatting, the deer head had finished cooking. The roe deer¡¯s entire head was charred black. A charred smell spread in the shelter. Bell carefully took off the head with the tree branch and shook it slightly before taking out the dagger. ¡°From the smell, it feels like the taste won¡¯t be good. But at least, it should not be worse than hump meat. ¡± After mentally preparing himself, Bell cut the head with the dagger. Immediately, the heat stored in the head came out. What followed was a nauseating smell. For a moment, Bell could not find a suitable word to describe this smell. Although the audience in the live-stream could not smell it through the screen, seeing the change in Bell¡¯s expression, they could guess his thoughts and could not help but tease. ¡°Haha, face-slapping sometimes comes so quickly.¡± ¡°Maybe the hump meat will be ranked second soon.¡± ¡°I remember that this expression of Bell has only appeared once before. It was when he ate the hump meat.¡± ¡°Haha, my heart aches for Bell.¡± ¡°Has anyone really eaten deer head? What does it taste like? Can you explain?¡± ¡°I¡¯ve never eaten a deer head, but I¡¯ve tried goat heads. Let me put it out like this, now that I am thinking about it, I don¡¯t have an appetite.¡± Bell was in no mood to pay attention to the audience in the live-stream. At this moment, he was conflicted. This smell was too strong. If he had to describe it, he could only say that even if he put it in his mouth, he would not want to swallow it. But after struggling for a long time, Bell finally picked out a piece of roasted brain and ate it. Bell thought that this thing might taste terrible. But after putting this brain into his mouth, Bell was stunned. Although the taste was a little fishy, it was not as disgusting as it smelled. At least it was acceptable to Bell. After tasting it and realizing that there was no other strange taste, Bell began to eat heartily. ¡°Looks like my worries were unnecessary. This thing tastes much better than it smells. It tastes a little like tofu pudding that has just been cooked. Overall, it is not bad. I have a suggestion though. When you scoop it, you can hold your breath.¡± The head of a roe deer was not big. Bell finished it in a short while. In addition, Bell had roasted it over the fire. In order to ensure that it was cooked, many places had been charred black and could not be eaten. Therefore, this head was not enough to fill Bell¡¯s stomach. Instead, it increased his hunger. The audience was stunned when they saw Bell wolfing down the food. They were in disbelief. Looking at Bell, they even wondered if this thing was really delicious. ¡°Can someone explain this to me? I think Bell¡¯s expression management is too awesome. I can¡¯t tell if this thing is delicious or not.¡± ¡°Hehe, you guys are too naive. Bell just tricked you guys.¡± logo Chapter 296 ? 296 Long Cold Night There were all sorts of troll comments in the stream. Bell could only roll his eyes and ignore these netizens. He had already focused his attention on the meat soup. Bell threw down the bone and picked up the boiling meat soup. He removed some of the foam and revealed the milky white soup. The cut meat and bones were still faintly visible. Although he was inside the shelter, the temperature was still -20 ¡ãC. If he did not drink it quickly, the meat soup would completely cool down in a few minutes. Therefore, after blowing on it for a while, Bell drank it in large mouthfuls. As soon as the meat soup entered his mouth, Bell felt a warm current flow from his throat to his stomach. The comfort made Bell heave a sigh of relief. Not to mention this Siberian ice field, even in the winter in northern China, it would be a pleasure to drink such a steaming bowl of meat soup. Perhaps it was because of this that people liked to eat hotpot in winter. This difference in temperature made people feel extremely comfortable. ¡°Although I didn¡¯t add any seasoning, this bowl of meat soup really warms me up. I feel much better now. ¡± Bell took another small sip. ¡°It has a trace of pure fragrance. ¡°Look, there¡¯s a layer of oil floating on it.¡± Bell quickly finished the bowl of meat soup. After filling his stomach, Bell felt like he was alive again. Bell sighed and touched his slightly swollen stomach. He could not help but say. ¡°This feels really good. In this environment, if I have to say one thing that might be better than this, it would be soaking in a hot spring.¡± After eating and drinking his fill, Bell laid some wooden sticks he had gathered on the ground. Then, he took out the roe deer skin. In order to carry it easily, Bell had rolled the skin into a roll. However, because the temperature was too low, it was frozen and he could not open it. If he tried to unfold it forcefully, it would break. Therefore, Bell could only place it beside the fire. The temperature of the fire quickly softened the skin. Bell unfolded it and placed it above the layer of wooden sticks. ¡°It¡¯s more comfortable than I thought. After being heated by the fire, it has become much warmer. Moreover, there are wooden sticks and fur separating us from the ground. To be honest, I am a little impressed with myself. It only took me a minute to think of such a perfect shelter. Indeed, adapting to the situation is the most important talent in wilderness survival. Compared to wild animals, the greatest advantage of humans is that we have intelligence and agile hands. ¡± ¡°Of course, this also tells us that the handicapped and the retarded are not suitable for wilderness survival.¡± As if he had nothing to do, Bell teased the audience. Instantly, the live-stream was filled with comments. Looking at them, they were actually the same sentence. ¡°I¡¯ve never seen such a shameless person!¡± Bell only raised his middle finger in response to these guys¡¯ comments. He added more wood to the fire and lay comfortably on the roe deer skin. Bell lay on it and chatted with the audience in the live-stream. Unknowingly, he fell asleep. Bell did not rest well last night. Although the night here was very long and lasted for 18 hours, he needed to add some firewood to the fire every two hours. Of course, most of the time, he woke up from the cold. Even though he had slept for more than ten hours, the energy he had recovered was not even equal to four hours of deep sleep. At this moment, it should be five or six in the afternoon in China. Many of the audience had already gotten off work. With nothing to do, many people opened Bell¡¯s live-stream again. This also caused the number of people in the live-stream to increase. While the audience in the live-stream watched Bell sleep, comments kept floating past. Someone was discussing. At this moment, Bell was really like an eight-year-old child. Some people thought that Bell was very cute. At the same time, some netizens seemed to be making friends online as they chatted. No matter which host saw this scene in Bell¡¯s live-stream, they would be shocked. Of course, if it was just sleeping, these audiences would not be interested. The main reason was that they felt that perhaps something thrilling might happen when Bell was sleeping. For example, some wild beasts discovering Bell¡¯s shelter. Although they could also watch it later on various sites, they would not feel the nervousness and excitement of watching it happen live. After all, this real sense of participation was the most attractive thing about Bell¡¯s live broadcast. If it was a video, it would be a little lacking. In the middle of the night, as expected, Bell was woken up by the cold. Looking at the almost extinguished fire, Bell quickly added more firewood. With the infusion of new firewood, the fire burned again. The temperature in the shelter increased. Once the fire became smaller, the temperature in the shelter would quickly decrease. After all, the surrounding snow only reflected the heat back. At the same time, a small portion of it would be lost. But even so, it was still much warmer here. It was not difficult to survive at -25 ¡ãC. But this temperature still made it impossible to sleep without a fire. If not for the fact that Bell¡¯s physique was far superior to ordinary people and the enhancement of the Frost Bloodline, he might have already been frostbitten while sleeping. Looking at the live-stream, he realized that the number of people in his live-stream had not decreased. Instead, it had increased greatly. Then, Bell looked at the time on the live broadcast. It was midnight. Bell was puzzled. He rubbed his head and returned to the fire. He filled his canteen with snow and put it on the fire. ¡°I remember teaching everyone in Alaska not to eat snow like this because when the snow melts in your stomach, it will also absorb a lot of heat from the human body. It makes you feel even colder, and eating snow can easily cause your mouth to be burned. Yes, that¡¯s right, burns.¡± logo Chapter 297 ? 297 Low Temperature Burn ¡°Burn? Bell, are you joking?¡± ¡°Eating snow can burn you? This is the first time I¡¯ve heard of it.¡± ¡°No way. I grew up in the north and ate snow when I was young. I¡¯ve never heard of anyone being burned.¡± ¡°Be careful of Bell¡¯s new trick.¡± Most of the people in the live-stream did not believe Bell. But in fact, Bell was not talking nonsense. Of course, some people might not understand that the wound of eating snow is similar to frostbite. The symptoms were like being scalded by boiling water, so they were also called burns. Seeing that the audience in the live-stream was questioning his words, Bell said. ¡°Actually, being burned by snow is essentially frostbite. Because things that are too cold will cause blood flow to be blocked and accumulate, forming blisters. The symptoms are like being scalded by boiling water. The mouth burn I mentioned is different from ordinary burns. It is similar to low temperature burns. It is also harmful to the skin and tissues of the human body. ¡± ¡°The temperature of the snow will be the same as the temperature in the outside world. In winter in China, it might not matter if we eat a small amount of snow. But in my current environment, I can¡¯t do that. Because in Siberia, even during the day, the temperature is -40 ¡ãC. Everyone, think about it, how would it feel to have a mouthful of snow in this temperature? I remember seeing an interesting video. A steak was cooked using dry ice. Of course, I can¡¯t guarantee whether it tastes good or bad.¡± After Bell¡¯s explanation, the audience in the live-stream understood. The comments in the live-stream were filled with praise. In fact, a large part of the reason why many of the audience watched Bell¡¯s live broadcast was to understand these strange things. Although it was not common knowledge, it was indeed very interesting. But at this moment, Bell suddenly stopped. Bell, who had wanted to continue the conversation, swallowed his words. Bell adjusted the camera and aimed at the parachute. The parachute was very thin. After being opened by the hot air in the shelter, it was like a small tent. The audience in the live-stream could clearly see a huge shadow on the left side of the parachute through the camera equipment. This shadow was definitely not from Bell. Because Bell was in the center of the depression, the fire could not reflect Bell¡¯s shadow on the parachute. Anyone with experience in camping knew that in the dark, if something approached the tent, it would cast a shadow on it. In other words, there was a beast very close to his tent. This distance might not even be one meter. Bell could not determine the actual size of this beast through the shadow reflected on the parachute, because the shadow itself was related to the distance. The size of the shadow could not tell anything. For example, there might be a difference of several times if the thing was just ten centimeters away. After careful observation, Bell realized that the shadow looked a little like a tiger or a lion. Of course, Bell knew that it was impossible for lions to exist in Siberia. But this information did not relax Bell. Because if it was a tiger, the situation would only be worse. If it was really the Siberian tiger, he would probably die tonight. On such a cold night, the Siberian tiger still chose to come out to hunt. This meant that this Siberian tiger was already hungry to the limit and would definitely not let go of any prey. Siberian tigers were extremely terrifying when hungry. Even if they encountered brown bears, they would not let them go. Bell wondered what his chances of winning would be if they really fought. But even if he counted his trump cards, Bell felt that his chances of winning were less than 30%. The attributes of the Siberian tiger were at least 45. Even if it was weakened by his skill by 20%, it could still completely crush him in terms of physique. Felines were more cautious. Before attacking their prey, they would usually observe for a while. The beast outside seemed to be frightened by the appearance of the parachute. After all, such things were almost impossible to see on this icy plain. The beast outside only stood from afar to observe. Bell wiped his sweat and took out his dagger. At the same time, he quietly added some wood to the fire. No matter what beast was outside, this fire was the key to his survival. Once the fire was extinguished, even if the wild beasts outside did not attack, he would be killed by the cold. ¡°F*ck! What¡¯s outside? This is too terrifying. It looks like it¡¯s at least 4 meters tall.¡± ¡°Previous poster, are you retarded? Was your physics taught by a sports teacher? Haven¡¯t you heard of refraction projection?¡± ¡°Sports teacher: What does it have to do with me?¡± ¡°F*ck, it¡¯s here! It¡¯s here! I didn¡¯t wait in vain.¡± ¡°Bell, kill this thing outside. I¡¯ll send a rocket!¡± ¡°Everyone, don¡¯t pressure the host. Be careful. The thing outside might be very dangerous.¡± Bell was in no mood to pay attention to the comments in the live-stream. He had to focus on the shadow. Time passed slowly, but the beast outside was motionless. Bell could not help but be suspicious. The temperature outside was -60 ¡ãC. If this beast continued to stand there, it would probably freeze to death soon. Just as Bell was thinking, the beast suddenly moved and took a few tentative steps forward. As the beast approached, the shadow it cast on the tent gradually became smaller. In the end, the shadow it formed was not much different from the beast¡¯s actual size. As the beast approached, Bell finally confirmed that this beast was not as long as 4 meters. It was only about 2 meters and looked muscular. The fluffy fur on its head was quite prominent. It was also because of this that Bell felt that this thing was similar to lions. At this moment, Bell had already confirmed the identity of this beast. This was a lynx. This was because of the short tail projected on the parachute. Felines that could reach two meters in length were rare, especially in this cold Siberia, so by using the elimination method, Bell quickly identified the target. logo Chapter 298 ? 298 Lynx, Raw Liver After knowing that there was such a guy outside the tent, Bell heaved a sigh of relief. After all, this lynx was only two meters long. It was not a threat to Bell. The Siberian lynx had a lot of fur. Coupled with the thick layer of fat under their skin, they could still come out to hunt even in the cold winter night. In the afternoon, Bell had already eaten some roe deer meat and deer head. However, they were not enough to fill Bell¡¯s stomach. He had long digested them. If he could catch this lynx, he might be able to have a good meal. Bell couldn¡¯t help but swallow. But he did not act rashly. The wild lynxes were very agile. Even in the snow, they were not slow. Because there was a thick layer of fur under their feet that allowed them to move freely in the snow, as if they were wearing snow boots. If he wanted to capture these agile guys, he had to kill them in one strike. He could not let them have a second chance to react. Soon, the lynx outside the shelter seemed to notice something. The parachute looked huge, but it did not seem to be a threat to it. It gradually approached Bell¡¯s shelter. Of course, part of the reason was that it felt the temperature coming from the shelter. This was what attracted it more. Although its fur and thick layer of fat could resist the cold, it would also consume its energy. It would be best if it could find a warm nest. The lynx raised its front claws and gently touched the parachute as a test. Crash! The parachute made a noise. However, this sound did not startle the lynx. Instead, it piqued its curiosity. After probing a few times, the lynx circled the shelter, as if it wanted to find a place to crawl in. Soon, this guy discovered the vent that Bell had dug. Its big head moved to the ventilation hole. After hesitating for a moment, it began to quickly dig with its fat front paws. It tried to dig a hole that could accommodate it. In the shelter, Bell carefully adjusted his angle and moved closer to the vent. At the same time, he pulled out the dagger from his leg. He was waiting for an opportunity. The moment this lynx dug a hole and crawled in, it would be time for Bell to attack. The fans in the live-stream saw the change in Bell¡¯s expression and knew that the beast outside was definitely not a Siberian tiger. Seeing that the beast outside the vent seemed to want to dig in, the audience started commenting. ¡°Good lord, another creature is sending itself as dinner.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t send anymore.¡± ¡°As expected, this is a food program.¡± ¡°Good luck seems to have descended on Bell¡¯s side.¡± ¡°Good lord, after showing off, something actually came knocking on the door.¡± ¡°Bell must be overjoyed.¡± Bell was in no mood to pay attention to the comments in the live-stream. He was focused on the ventilation hole. Time was tight, so Bell did not pile too much snow around. This also gave this lynx a chance. Although the cold wind outside made the snow extremely hard, it only took less than a minute for the lynx to twist its body and crawl in. Unfortunately, just as its head popped in and was about to squeeze its body into the shelter, the dagger in Bell¡¯s hand turned into a cold light and stabbed at the lynx¡¯s head. As a beast, the lynx¡¯s sharp intuition made it sense danger. Unfortunately, it was still a step slower. By the time it wanted to shrink back, the dagger already reached it. Pfft! The tip of the dagger pierced into the lynx¡¯s eye socket, and blood splashed out. Bell¡¯s attack was precise. The dagger pierced through the lynx¡¯s left eye and into its brain. After this stab, the lynx lost all its strength and fell to the ground, unable to move. After the successful hunt, Bell wiped the blood from his face and pulled out the dagger. Then, he dragged the lynx back to the shelter. Only now did Bell have the chance to size up this guy. The lynx in front of him was very muscular and had thick fur. Especially the fur on its neck, it even looked like a young lion. Sitting beside the fire, Bell rubbed the thick fur on the lynx and said to the camera. ¡°This lynx has just died, and the heat in its body has yet to dissipate. It is because of its thick fur and subcutaneous fat that it can resist the low temperature on such a cold night. Its fur looks like it is wearing a thick cotton coat. Now, I¡¯m going to peel off its skin and use it as a blanket. I believe it will be very warm with it.¡± Bell had already begun to move. The dagger cut open the lynx¡¯s stomach. Immediately, a large pile of internal organs flowed out, and there was a strong smell of blood. Enduring the strange smell, Bell began his work. Of course, he did not skin it immediately. Instead, he looked for something in its dirty internal organs. Soon, Bell found what he wanted. In the dirty internal organs, Bell found a palm-sized dark brown organ that was still steaming. Bell cut it off and raised it to the camera in the live-stream. ¡°This is its liver. We can eat it while it¡¯s hot.¡± Then, before the audience in the live-stream could react, Bell bit down hard. As he bit, he chewed and explained to the camera. ¡°Animals have the most vitamins in their liver. The amount of vitamins in the meat is negligible in comparison. Eating the liver raw can replenish the vitamins in our bodies to the greatest extent. In the past, every winter, the local Yakutsk people used this method to replenish their vitamins. After all, in the past, there were no fresh vegetables to eat in Siberia.¡± With that, Bell bit down hard, giving the illusion that the thing in Bell¡¯s hand was not a fishy liver but a dessert. logo Chapter 299 ? 299 Salt Supplement The fans in the live-stream were shocked when they saw Bell wolf down the raw liver. This lynx¡¯s liver looked similar to a human¡¯s. Seeing this terrifying scene, they could not help but feel their scalps tingle. Although vitamins were not the three most important nutrients required for the human body, it did not mean that they were not important. If they did not replenish their vitamins for a long time, it would cause vitamin deficiency in their body and reduce their immune system. This can cause them to be affected with various diseases in the wild. After swallowing the fishy liver in his mouth, Bell continued. ¡°We need to stay here for six days, or even longer. In such cold weather, it is not impossible to catch a cold. When your body lacks vitamins, this probability increases to a terrifying level. The moment you catch a cold, it won¡¯t be as simple as a common cold. Pulmonary edema, meningitis, pneumonia, and other corresponding diseases will follow. ¡± This lynx¡¯s liver was not too big, and it was devoured by Bell in a few bites. After drinking a small mouthful of hot water and suppressing the urge to vomit, Bell smiled bitterly. ¡°This thing tastes very soft. It¡¯s like chewing a sponge, but the taste is fishy. In addition, there is a strange smell. I don¡¯t know if this is the unique taste of lynx liver. I can check it later. But if we¡¯re talking about the worst food since the recording, this thing should be able to enter the top ten. ¡± He threw the remaining internal organs of the lynx to the side and buried them. Then, he cut off the flesh of the lynx¡¯s hind leg and placed it on a tree branch. He placed it beside the fire and slowly roasted it. Although vitamins were very important, the consumption of vitamins in the human body was very low. This piece of liver was enough to make up for Bell¡¯s vitamin consumption over the next few days. ¡°If you are also in a similar situation like me and have killed a prey, I suggest you skin its corpse while it¡¯s still hot. Because in ten minutes, its fur will be as hard as iron in this temperature. At that time, it will be very difficult to peel it off. ¡± Bell felt like the skin of the lynx was one of the easiest skins to peel. It was as simple as peeling snake skin. He only needed to cut off the limbs. Moreover, there was a thick layer of fat under the skin. A membrane formed between the fat and the fur. As long as he grabbed the lynx¡¯s neck and cut some connecting spots, he could tear off a large portion of the skin. Of course, this was assuming that the corpse was still soft. After peeling off the entire skin of the lynx, Bell found a few wooden sticks to support it and placed it beside the fire to dry it. If it was not dried, this skin would quickly become hard like the deerskin. Once he pulled hard, it would break. All his efforts would be in vain. After a while, the meat of the lynx¡¯s leg was already sizzling. Golden oil began to drip onto the fire, emitting an alluring fragrance. Bell¡¯s stomach couldn¡¯t help but growl in protest. However, Bell did not start to enjoy it immediately. Instead, he patiently changed the side of the meat to ensure that the meat was cooked evenly. Although he really wanted to eat, Bell held back. Bell smiled at the live-stream and explained. ¡°That piece of liver was too disgusting. Now, I have to eat some delicious food to make up for my injured soul.¡± As he spoke, Bell cut off a small piece of fat from under the skin and put it on the meat. As the fire roasted the meat, the fat gradually turned into oil and flowed onto the meat, making the entire meat look oily and appetizing. Sometimes, people were very easily satisfied. A delicious meal could raise their spirits and restore their optimism. About 20 minutes later, Bell finally took the meat off the fire. At this moment, the meat had completely changed. The skin was golden, and the oil was still sizzling on the meat. After blowing on it for a while, Bell took a big bite. Food also needed to be compared. Bell¡¯s barbecue skills were very bad. It could even be described as terrifying, especially when there was no seasoning. But compared to the roe deer head and raw liver, it was undoubtedly much better. ¡°Yes, the texture is very good. It¡¯s crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. I wonder if it¡¯s because it is leg meat, it is not dry.¡± Bell praised as he ate. Seeing the scene in Bell¡¯s live-stream, many of the audience couldn¡¯t help but swallow. However, their minds kept reminding them that the roasted meat in Bell¡¯s hand was not delicious. At least, it was not as fragrant as the fried chicken in their own hands. ¡°I saw someone ask how to obtain salt in the wilderness. Actually, I have already said this in the Amazon rainforest. Remember the tortoise I killed? There is salt in animals. Fat, protein, and carbohydrates are the three main nutrient compositions of the human body. In addition, vitamins and salt are also part of the human body, or rather, the animal body. If a person does not drink water, they can survive for three days. If they do not eat, they can survive for seven days. If they do not replenish the salt, they can survive for 15 days. 15 days without replenishing any salt is the limit that humans can endure. The average human body needs about 6 grams of salt per day. It is not a big deal for the human body to not consume salt for a day or two. But if this time prolongs for more than three days, you will get dizzy from lack of salt and exhausted. If it¡¯s longer, there will be signs of swelling. ¡± With that, Bell raised the roasted meat in his hand to the camera. ¡°I know what everyone wants to ask. In the wilderness, it is indeed very difficult to replenish salt. Herbivores usually obtain salt through plants or soil. Carnivores in the wild indirectly obtain salt from herbivores. In fact, there is salt in the blood of animals. When carnivores eat the meat of these herbivores, they will also drink the blood to replenish their salt. If you end up in the wilderness, you can drink some animal blood to replenish your salt. Of course, there¡¯s no need to do this deliberately, because in the wild, most of the things you eat will contain some salt. ¡± logo Chapter 300 ? 300 Hole While they were talking, the meat in Bell¡¯s hand was gradually turning cold, so he continued to heat it on the fire. Bell stopped chatting with the audience in the live-stream and focused on the roasted meat in his hand. Soon, a large piece of roasted meat was finished by Bell. After filling his stomach, Bell heaved a sigh of relief and patted his bulging stomach in satisfaction. Although the lynx that he had just captured looked big, it was mainly because the fur on the outside was too lush and fluffy that it looked very fat. In fact, it weighed less than 40kg. Its size was just an illusion. Other than the fur and bones, the edible parts were less than 15kg. This included the weight of the internal organs. Of course, only the liver and heart could be counted among the internal organs that could be eaten. Other things like intestines could not be eaten without washing them with water. Bell naturally gave them up. After drinking the hot water, Bell was satisfied. With the replenishment of food, he felt warm all over. He was full now. With energy to decompose and transmit heat, his mental state was much better. ¡°Dear audience, I have to rest for a while. Our adventure went smoothly today. Good night, see you tomorrow.¡± It was already past 1 am. Most of the audience had already chosen to rest. Of course, there was still a small audience in the live-stream. Bell added some firewood to the fire. The fire became stronger, and the temperature in the shelter increased. Bell lay down again and covered himself with the lynx skin before slowly closing his eyes. The next morning, it was already nine in the morning. If it were in China, the sun would be shining brightly. But in Siberia, the sun had just risen, and the surroundings were still a little dark. Bell had already woken up. Putting away the parachute, the cold wind rushed in, making Bell shiver. He rolled the lynx meat and the two skins he had obtained last night and carried them in his bag. He wore his scarf and gloves before continuing. With the lynx meat left from yesterday, Bell did not have to worry about food today. Six hours. Other than building the shelter and finding food, he had to use the remaining time to travel. The cold air was sucked into Bell¡¯s lungs, and the heat from the food in his stomach was offset. After walking for about an hour, the pine trees in front began to thin. The coniferous forests in Siberia were very wide, so Bell was not worried that he would not have firewood at night. As time passed, Bell gradually moved forward, but the pine trees became fewer and fewer. In the end, Bell realized that there was a vast ice plain in front of him. Seeing this, Bell could not help but slow down and frown. ¡°Everyone, we might be in trouble. There is a large lake in front of us. This area is at least three to four kilometers in diameter. But before it gets dark, we have to cross this lake and enter the next pine forest. Otherwise, when night comes, we might freeze to death here. ¡± Without the cover of the pine forest, the wind that blew on the ice plain carried snow that reduced Bell¡¯s visibility. Although the surrounding temperature was still around -40 degrees Celsius, Bell felt that this place had become even colder. He bent down and peeled off a layer of snow. As Bell had expected, after pushing aside the 30cm thick snow, there was a thick layer of ice. Seeing this, Bell stood up and quickened his pace, explaining to the audience. ¡°Under normal circumstances, if the icy surface on the water is about 8cm, it can withstand the weight of an adult easily. The ice layer on this lake is at least 3 meters thick, so let alone pedestrians, it won¡¯t be a problem to drive a tank on it. ¡± Many of the audience in the live-stream were surprised. They did not expect the ice to be so thick in this area. Bell explained, ¡°I know some people are surprised, but in fact, 3m of ice layer is not rare. In the South Pole, the ice layer can reach hundreds of meters. Moreover, the thickest layer of ice discovered in Siberia has reached 1.5 kilometers. Can you imagine what it would be like?¡± The largest lake in Siberia was Lake Baikal. But that was in the south. In the icy plain near the Arctic Circle in the far east, lakes with a diameter of three to four kilometers were very rare. There must be many fish in such a huge lake. However, this three-meter-thick ice layer became a natural chasm. Bell had no way to break through the ice. Moreover, the cold wind would increase the consumption of heat. There was no cover on this wide lake. Walking on it, Bell felt like it was late at night again. If he stood still in the cold wind, his blood would probably completely freeze in less than three minutes. His core temperature would decrease, and he would become an ice sculpture forever. Rubbing his tired eyes, Bell forced himself to focus and interacted with the audience in the live-stream. ¡°Don¡¯t think that walking on this three-meter-thick ice is very safe. Every year, more than a hundred people in the world will freeze to death because of the cracking ice. Even such a large lake can¡¯t be completely still. There must be an undercurrent. These undercurrents often prevent some parts of the lake from freezing, or the ice layer formed on some parts will not be thick. The weak point of the ice formed by this undercurrent is simply called a hole. This kind of hole is usually not big. Under normal circumstances, it is only the size of a fist. It is almost impossible to find it when walking on the ice layer, especially when the ice layer is covered by snow. However, because the ice around the hole is unstable, once someone stands still on it, the ice will immediately break. If I were to step on this thing today, this program would probably end here. ¡± logo Chapter 301 ? 301 Cave While walking, Bell pointed at the flat lake and said. ¡°There is no cover within a kilometer of us, so there is no firewood for us to use to keep warm. If we are unlucky and fall into the water, even if we can climb out, the cold wind here will freeze us into popsicles in just 30 seconds. ¡± Bell¡¯s attributes were far beyond ordinary people. With the Wilderness Hunter skill, his attributes could exceed 20 points. It was definitely very strong compared to humans. But now that Bell was in the wilderness, these little stats were nothing. In this environment, be it Siberian tigers or brown bears, they could easily crush Bell. Once he fell into the lake, Bell would be sentenced to death. However, even though he knew that this place was so dangerous, Bell did not stop. Instead, he quickened his pace. Only by moving quickly could he maintain his reaction speed to the greatest extent. This way, even if he was really unlucky and stepped on the hole, he could react immediately. Bell believed that with his current speed, he could escape danger before the ice broke. In the wild, most dangers were caused by hesitation. As a veteran wilderness survivalist, Bell naturally would not make such a low-level mistake. The terrain of the Far Eastern Siberian Icefield was a basin. Cold air gathered here all year round. It was also because of this that the coldest place in the world was created. Pointing in the direction of the white snow, Bell continued. ¡°The south is close to Mongolia. The further we go, the higher the terrain will be, and the warmer it will be. If my estimate is correct, we should be able to walk out of this ice basin the day after tomorrow. As long as we can leave this place, the average temperature during the day would rise to about 30 ¡ãC. We won¡¯t have to suffer so much then.¡± The cold wind blew through the snow, covering the surroundings with a veil. It would be completely dark in about an hour. But Bell was still walking on the lake. It was still white ahead, and he could not see the border. Bell stopped and frowned, saying. ¡°The cold wind here has blown up the snow on the ground, reducing our visibility. It will be completely dark soon. But we can¡¯t be sure how far we have to go to walk out of this ice lake. ¡± In fact, even if Bell did not say it, the audience in the live-stream could see it. If Bell slept on the lake tonight, there would definitely be another piece of news tomorrow. The youngest explorer, Bell, had unfortunately died last night. Bell did not want to be in the news like this. In this cold wind, it would not even take a night for him to freeze to death. Ten minutes was enough to kill him. Time was precious. Bell did not dare to delay and continued moving forward with all his might. Finally, luck was on Bell¡¯s side. After another half an hour, Bell successfully walked out of the lake. But this did not mean that he was out of danger. Because after flipping through a snow slope of more than ten meters, he suddenly realized that the nearest pine forest was still a few kilometers away. However, he only had half an hour left because the sky would completely darken in half an hour. He could not travel in this land in the dark, it would be no different from suicide. Bell looked around and sighed. ¡°Unfortunately, the pine forest is too far away from us. The only thing we can do now is to find a shelter and survive the 18 hours of cold night.¡± Bell remembered that Bear had once spent a night peacefully without using fire in his previous world¡¯s survival program. However, the place he went to was only the Sayan Mountains at the border of Siberia and Mongolia. Although the winter temperature there was cold, it was only -20 ¡ãC. If the other party dared to pass the night in this Far Eastern Basin, Bell could guarantee that he would not see the sun the next day. If Bell were to travel in this cold night, he would certainly die on this icy plain. But if he were to try to pass a night here, he would have a 50% chance of survival without fire. In fact, Bell was not sure if he could survive the night. As for what could increase his chances of survival, it would be the kind of shelter he could find. There were very few snow slopes in the surroundings. Bell did not see anything he liked. In Siberia, the average altitude was no less than 500 meters. The appearance of these slopes meant that Bell was gradually leaving the basin. But Bell was in no mood to care about this. Because the sun would set in less than half an hour, he had to use this time to find a shelter that could let him safely pass through this night. Bell¡¯s requirements for finding a shelter today were relatively simple. The first condition was to avoid the wind. After all, the cold wind would make the surrounding temperature even colder. Bell advanced along the slope, not forgetting to look around, trying to find a suitable shelter. After walking for about fifty meters, Bell¡¯s eyes suddenly lit up. Not far in front of him, there were a few protruding rocks at the foot of a slope. Most importantly, there was a head-sized crack in the middle of the rocks. The angle of the crack was very hidden. If one did not observe carefully, it was difficult to notice. Bell quickly moved forward and bent down to clear the snow around the crack. As he moved, the crack became larger and larger, finally forming a half-meter-long cave. Following the hole, Bell looked inside and found that the space inside was not very big, only about a square meter. Fortunately, the cave was quite dry. For some reason, there was a faint strange smell. Fortunately, Bell was only an eight-year-old child. If he was really an adult, he might not have been able to enter this 1 square meter hole. logo Chapter 302 ? 302 Fatal Temperature After adjusting the angle of the live-stream, Bell said. ¡°Everyone, our luck is not bad. We found a cave. It looks like a cave of a beast.¡± As he spoke, Bell crawled in and picked up a bone from the ground, holding it in front of the camera. ¡°This bone proves what I just said. There is even some fur scattered on the ground. If I am not wrong, there should have been a carnivorous beast here. It should be a Siberian tiger or brown bear. But we can¡¯t be sure yet. The smell in this cave is already very faint. Moreover, there are no footprints on the snow, so the beast should have left long ago. This beast did not return for at least three days. ¡± Hearing Bell¡¯s words, many audience members in the live-stream asked Bell what would happen if this beast suddenly returned. Bell explained patiently. ¡°Actually, you don¡¯t have to worry about this at all. Although this cave might belong to a Siberian tiger or a black bear, the possibility of them returning is extremely low. First of all, Siberian tigers live alone. Moreover, they don¡¯t have a fixed residence and have an activity range of up to 100 square kilometers, so they usually don¡¯t live in the same cave twice. As for the bears, it¡¯s winter now. It¡¯s already the hibernation period for the black bear and brown bear. If it was really a cave for bears, then the fact that they have not returned for three days means that they are probably dead. Otherwise, they would not have left their cave for a long time. However, our problem is not completely resolved. This cave is not enough for us to survive this cold night. I have to see if I can find anything useful.¡± Bell put down his backpack and crawled out of the hole again. He began to dig at the snow on the ground. ¡°It is impossible to completely isolate us from the temperature of the ground with just the roe deer skin. Under the snow, there is often some dry grass. In this area, herbivores like red deer and roe deer would push aside the snow and eat the dry grass hidden below. The sky is starting to darken. We have to move quickly and gather as much grass as possible.¡± ¡°What is this?¡± While digging, Bell suddenly noticed some moss beside the rock near the cave. The moss was clearly frozen to death, revealing a withered yellow color. He grabbed a large handful and placed it in front of the camera. ¡°Look, these things are called peat moss. Under normal circumstances, healthy peat moss is very useful to us. They have anti-inflammatory and bacteria-killing effects. In the first world war, most countries in Europe used this peat moss to wrap their wounds. But even if they are already dead, they are still very useful to us. Perhaps they can save our lives tonight. ¡± While he was talking, the sky had completely darkened. Bell could clearly feel the surrounding temperature beginning to decrease. Sensing this, Bell quickly stopped what he was doing. In just a while, Bell had already gathered a lot of peat moss. This cave was not very wide, so Bell easily covered the ground with a layer of mud moss. After laying layers of moss, it was like a soft sofa. After doing this, Bell realized that he still had some peat moss left, so he put them aside. If he felt cold at night, he could use them as his blanket. Bell used the snow to firmly seal the hole, not leaving a gap. Then, he put the parachute on the peat moss and laid the deerskin atop it. He finally lay down. After a busy day, Bell felt much more relaxed. Fatigue surged in his heart. ¡°It feels quite good and warm.¡± With that, Bell took out lynx skin and covered himself with it. Even the remaining peat moss was piled on his body, covering him tightly. In the live-stream, because of the night vision function, the audience looked at Bell who was completely buried in peat moss. Only his head was left, and his head was covered with a scarf and hat. He was fully armed. He was covered with clothes, fur, parachute, and moss. These were things that could prevent Bell¡¯s body temperature from decreasing. Looking at the live broadcast, Bell sighed helplessly. ¡°I don¡¯t have any other requests now. I just hope to pass the night safely. However, this feels quite warm. ¡± Bell felt good at first, but as time passed, he felt the temperature drop. His entire body was trembling. Looking at the live broadcast, Bell said while trembling. ¡°When a person is in an extremely cold state, their body will subconsciously tremble. This is a self-protection mechanism of the human body. The nerves are stimulated. This information is transmitted to the brain, making the bones and muscles tremble to increase the heat in the body to maintain the core temperature and prevent people from freezing to death. Therefore, if you are shivering in the cold, it means that your core temperature is gradually decreasing. ¡± To be honest, if not for Bell¡¯s attributes that far exceeded ordinary people and his passive talent skill, he might have already frozen to death. But there was a limit to everything, and Bell¡¯s current condition was actually at this critical point. With his super endurance and stamina, he could still maintain his core body temperature and ensure that he would not freeze to death. But as time passed, the temperature would continue to drop. If this continued, it would be hard to say what the outcome would be. Bell thought for a moment and chose to stand up from the moss. He stuffed dry grass which he had gathered earlier into his down jacket, making him look bloated. After doing all this, Bell lay down again and covered himself with the lynx skin and moss. However, his mouth was still trembling. logo Chapter 303 ? 303 Test of Will ¡°Actually, this situation has nothing to do with our survival skills. It¡¯s purely a competition of endurance. As long as we can survive until dawn, we have a chance of survival. I remember someone saying that in front of nature, humans are minuscule. This can only be felt in the wilderness. Sometimes, despair is not a beast, but a change in nature. I need to endure 18 hours in this dark cave. I don¡¯t know if I can hold on, but I will try my best.¡± This situation could be said to be the most dangerous situation Bell had encountered in the survival streams. It would not be an exaggeration to say that it was a hopeless situation. To be honest, he did not like this situation of waiting for death. But if he rushed at night, he would definitely die outside. The audience in the live-stream could not see the expression on Bell¡¯s face. They could only see his eyes. But from his serious tone, they could tell that Bell was definitely not having a good time. He had not had such a serious tone even when facing the ferocious beasts. The audience sent comments to encourage Bell or suggested some methods. ¡°Bell, don¡¯t be like this. If you really can¡¯t do it, call the rescue team.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t you have so many mosses? You can start a fire to warm up.¡± ¡°Previous poster, are you a fool? This moss burns very quickly. It will be completely burned in less than an hour. What should Bell do with the remaining time? He will freeze to death.¡± ¡°I¡¯ve been watching Bell¡¯s live broadcast for a while, but I¡¯ve never seen Bell encounter such a desperate situation. In this environment, ordinary people can¡¯t survive here. Bell, just give up. Everyone will understand.¡± ¡°That¡¯s right, how can humans endure such an environment? Even if it¡¯s -10 degrees below zero, people will freeze to death every winter.¡± ¡°This is a competition of physique. It has nothing to do with technique. Bell, give up. We believe in you.¡± Just like the audience in the live-stream said, this was about physique. But although so many people persuaded him, Bell still shook his head firmly. ¡°In this Wilderness Survival program, not only did you guys gain a lot, but I also gained a lot. To me, this is a form of training and also a breakthrough. Everyone, don¡¯t worry. I know my body very well. If I really can¡¯t hold on anymore, I will definitely choose to ask for help.¡± In the face of true despair, Bell¡¯s mind was still clear. Suddenly, he remembered something. It was words from Lofty Wiseman. Human instinct for survival surpassed all dreams and reality. But the key was how to maximize this instinct. This was the key to success in survival. John Wiseman was a big shot in the wilderness survival world. Not to mention anything else, just one thing was enough to prove this. The British SAS was one of the top ten special forces in the world. John Wiseman was once invited to be the wilderness survival instructor of the SAS to teach these special forces members survival skills and knowledge in any extreme environment in the world. After he retired, he personally wrote the SAS Survival Handbook which was praised by countless survivalists as a bible of wilderness survival. Almost all survival enthusiasts had read this book. What Bell admired most about John Wiseman was not his survival skills or physique, but his incomparably strong heart. To be honest, willpower was Bell¡¯s weakness. With the system, he did not lack physical fitness, but the system could not help him temper his mind. It could only be polished in harsh environments. These invisible gains were Bell¡¯s greatest gains in wilderness survival. Therefore, even in this predicament, Bell still chose to grit his teeth and endure. Once he survived this situation, Bell would be able to face similar situations calmly. Bell definitely could not fall asleep in this temperature. After all, once he fell asleep, he would not be able to get up. The cave was wrapped in darkness, and Bell chatted with the audience in the live-stream from time to time. On one hand, it was to explain his situation, and on the other hand, it was to increase his spirit. At the same time, Bell would struggle to do push-ups to ensure the mobility of his blood. Time passed slowly. The audience in the live-stream did not leave because of the monotonous show. Instead, more and more people gathered and were convinced by Bell¡¯s will to live. The 18 hours of cold night felt like a year to Bell. But Bell was not the only one waiting for this time to pass. In the live-stream, tens of millions of audience members were accompanying Bell. When the comments refreshed, Bell finally heaved a sigh of relief. These 18 hours had already exhausted his stamina to the limit. But no matter what, he had finally survived this place of death in the Siberian Far East. He kicked away the snow blocking the entrance of the cave, and the bone-chilling wind entered the cave again. Bell gasped in shock. The sky was hazy, but Bell was in a good mood. ¡°I¡¯ve never looked forward to dawn so much. This morning has left a deep impression on me. I don¡¯t think I will forget what happened today for the rest of my life. Also, the cold is really uncomfortable.¡± Bell did not dare to waste any more time. He put away the skins and parachutes into his backpack, not forgetting to bring some of the peat moss. After all, these things could be used as kindling to increase the efficiency of starting a fire. ¡°I have to hurry and warm my body again. No matter what, I have to reach the pine forest before dark. I don¡¯t want to experience a cold night without a fire again.¡± Pulling himself together, Bell carried his backpack and began to walk quickly towards the pine forest. logo Chapter 304 ? 304 Falling Into the Undercurrent As Bell advanced, the terrain became higher and higher, making it difficult for him to move. It was mainly because this place was upstream of the lake. In other seasons, when there was groundwater or rainwater, streams would often flow from this place to the lake below. It was also because of these converging streams that Bell¡¯s speed slowed down. The low temperature of -60 ¡ãC would quickly freeze the water surface. However, due to the terrain, some streams flowed very quickly, causing the ice on the surface to be uneven. Bell walked to a stream about seven to eight meters wide and bent down, sweeping the snow away with the wooden stick. He adjusted the camera and aimed it at the ice. Through the live broadcast, the audience in the live-stream could see the faint movement of water below the ice. ¡°Everyone, you see it, right? If you were here, you could even hear the sound of water flowing below the ice. The water flow here is very fast. This water thins the ice and makes it easy to shatter. Once you fall into it, the bone-chilling river water will immediately wash you away. It is almost impossible to climb ashore again. Even if you succeed, the cold wind will freeze you into an ice sculpture. ¡± Bell took off his backpack. He took off the deerskin and said. ¡°I have thought of a good way to pass through this ice layer. That is to crawl on the ice.¡± ¡°This can not only increase the area of contact with the ice, but also spread the weight of the body more evenly. It can reduce the pressure on the ice to a certain extent. When you walk on the ice, don¡¯t be in a hurry to run away if the ice breaks. Because the heavy pressure will break the ice faster. Trust me, your running speed is definitely not as fast as the cracking of the ice. The best way was to immediately crawl on the ice and slowly leave. Only this can save your lives. While speaking, Bell had already spread the deerskin on the ice. Bell did not move immediately. Instead, he took off his down jacket and pants and put them in his backpack. At the same time, he did not forget to explain. ¡°In the wilderness, anything can happen. Therefore, when you decide to do something, it¡¯s best to prepare for the worst and think of a countermeasure in advance. For example, if I really fall into the river accidentally, these two dry clothes could at least maintain the core temperature of my body and prevent me from freezing to death. Let¡¯s continue.¡± The audience in the live-stream recalled the episode when Bell led a group in Alaska. Back then, the situation was similar to now. ¡°This scene looks a little familiar.¡± ¡°Bell understands Murphy¡¯s Law.¡± ¡°I think Bell just wants to take a cold shower because he hasn¡¯t showered in a long time.¡± ¡°Logically speaking, if it were me, I wouldn¡¯t dare to cross this river no matter what.¡± There was no lack of teasing in Bell¡¯s live-stream, and Bell was already used to it. He did not have the time to care about these netizens. He was already lying on the deerskin and moving forward slowly. Because he was on the ice, Bell did not dare to move too quickly. This would make the already unstable ice more fragile. Under normal circumstances, the center of the ice should be the thickest. But flowing streams did not abide by this law. Because the most rapid part of the river was the center, the ice there was often the weakest and unstable. The stream was seven to eight meters wide. No matter how slowly Bell moved, five minutes was enough for him to crawl to the other side. Bell, who was crawling on the ice, felt like he was walking on a tightrope. He took every step carefully. After moving forward for over a meter, Bell stopped and held his breath. At the same time, he did not forget to put his ear close to the ice and listen carefully to hear if there was the sound of the ice shattering. Bell slowly crawled over the center of the river. Bell heaved a sigh of relief. The next step should be much easier, because the ice on both sides of the stream was much thicker than the center. Bell was less than 3 meters away from the river bank. In his excitement, Bell couldn¡¯t help but speed up. After all, he did not have a down jacket or thick cotton pants. The cold air was unbearable. After all, there was no sun today. It was a cloudy day. However, things often went against expectations. Crack! The clear sound of ice shattering suddenly came from under Bell. Not good! The ice has cracked! Sensing this, Bell immediately accelerated, wanting to leave this area and return to shore as soon as possible. However, the speed at which the ice shattered far exceeded his imagination. Before Bell could crawl forward, the ice below had already turned into countless small pieces. Bell¡¯s body fell into the water. Hole! The moment the cold river water invaded Bell¡¯s skin, he understood. This had to be because he had encountered a hole. Otherwise, even if the ice could not withstand his weight, it would not have shattered so quickly. He did not expect to be so unlucky. He was only a short distance away, but he ran into a hole. However, it was meaningless to think about this now. The bone-chilling river water was already covering him. Under the stimulation of the cold water, the pores on Bell¡¯s body constricted violently, and his muscles tightened. Once a person fell into ice water that was below zero degrees Celsius, they would not freeze to death but would suffocate to death. Because if the ice water wanted to reduce a person¡¯s core temperature to a critical point, it would take at least five to ten minutes. During this period, if the human body¡¯s adrenaline surged, the time might prolong. But the cold water would tighten one¡¯s muscles and cause spasms. Once your muscles cramp in the water, your limbs would not listen to you. It would be very difficult to swim to the surface. Three minutes was enough to suffocate a person to death. Moreover, when a person suddenly fell into the water, they would be extremely flustered. logo Chapter 305 ? 305 Siberian Tiger¡¯s Territory Once a person suddenly fell into ice water, they would be extremely flustered. They would subconsciously drink a large amount of ice water which would further hasten the speed that the core heat decreased. Therefore, no matter what season it is, once you accidentally fall into the water, you have to remain calm. However, although this sounded simple, few people could really calm down in the face of such a life and death crisis. If everyone could do it, thousands of people would not have drowned in the water every year. Bell did not hesitate at all. The moment he fell into the ice water, he immediately activated his Wilderness Hunter skill. Because in this situation, he had to ensure that his limbs could move properly. Once he had a cramp, it would be difficult to climb out of the water again. If he was washed away by the water now, there would be an additional layer of ice above his head. There was no way to tell how thick this layer of ice would be. The Wilderness Hunter skill was indeed the most practical skill that Bell had drawn. Bell could not even remember how many times he had been saved by this skill. As the skill was activated, the power in his body began to surge. His adrenaline soared. Bell, who was freezing, felt warm all over. He did not dare to delay. He stretched his hands out of the water. At the same time, he pressed his upper body against the water. Using the buoyancy of the ice, he could stick his head out of the water. However, the ice was not strong to begin with. After Bell¡¯s struggle, there was a series of chain reactions. Fortunately, Bell did not hope to use the ice to return to the surface. Bell kept moving his feet in the water, pushing his body to break through the broken ice and swim to the shore. Fortunately, this stream was not wide to begin with. Coupled with the fact that Bell was already close to the shore, he quickly reached the shore. After going ashore, the first thing Bell did was to take off his backpack and clothes. He had to change into dry clothes while the effect of the skill was not over. Otherwise, it would not take long for him to lose all feeling in his limbs. In the temperature of -40 ¡ãC, even with the enhancement of the skill, Bell still felt his core heat rapidly decreasing. Cold wind blew past his skin like knives. With trembling hands, he opened his backpack and took off his down jacket and pants. After putting them on, he felt slightly better. As for the wet clothes, Bell would definitely not wear them again before they dried. Wearing them would only speed up the loss of heat. However, he could not leave them like this. He stuffed all these clothes into his backpack. Fortunately, Bell was fast. His clothes were already stiff from the cold. Bell trembled as he looked at the camera and said. ¡°I have to start moving intensely to maintain my heart rate. Otherwise, with only this layer of clothes, I will freeze to death before I even reach the pine forest. ¡± Bell¡¯s down jacket and clothes were a little loose because there was a layer of clothes missing. Cold wind kept entering through the gaps in his clothes. Carrying his backpack, Bell looked at the distant pine forest and was not in a hurry to move. Instead, he maintained a stable pace and did not forget to explain. ¡°Remember, in this situation, the greatest taboo is intense exercise. Because once you exercise intensely, you will sweat. In this extremely cold temperature, sweat will freeze and form a layer of ice on the skin. You can well imagine how fast your body will lose its heat. What we have to do now is to get warm. The pine forest is about 3km away. In other words, I have to run for three kilometers. Once I stop, the sweat on my body will quickly freeze. ¡± For a soldier, running across 3km with weights was more like daily training. Moreover, compared to Bell¡¯s current load, the special forces used even more weight. They usually used 30 kilograms and would run 20km. If Bell was in his peak state, with his current physique, it would not be a problem to run even 40 kilometers with weights. But Bell could not do that now. It was mainly because the thick snow affected his speed. Bell was like a kangaroo, jumping constantly on the rocks. Because below the stone was a thin layer of ice and a waist-length stream. Bell did not have a second chance. He tried his best to maintain his balance while moving. He explained to the camera while maintaining his balance. ¡°When we jump, we have to maintain our balance. After all, the snow on these stones is very slippery. If I fall into the water again, I won¡¯t have any dry clothes to change into. By then, it will really be over. ¡± In this tense situation, Bell moved for two hours and finally entered the pine forest. Bell did not start a fire immediately. It was still early. There were still about two hours before nightfall. Bell could not waste this time. Anyway, he had already entered the pine forest, so there was no hurry. The intense exercise along the way increased the temperature of Bell¡¯s body, and white mist constantly emitted from his body. ¡°Wait!¡± Bell suddenly stopped in his tracks. There was a row of clear footprints on the snow in front of him. Bell bent down and carefully checked. He realized that the footprints in front of him were very deep. That meant that the animal was not small. The footprint was larger than an adult¡¯s palm. There was no joy on Bell¡¯s face. Instead, there was a trace of seriousness. Bell turned to look at the camera and said solemnly. ¡°If I¡¯m not wrong, these footprints on the ground should belong to a feline.¡± Bell opened his hand and made a comparison. ¡°Do you see these footprints? Their owner is at least three meters tall. Clearly, only Siberian tigers can have such deep footprints on this icy plain. It seems like we have already entered the territory of a Siberian tiger. ¡± logo Chapter 306 ? 306 Lion vs Tiger Bell¡¯s expression became serious. ¡°Our luck is not good. If I¡¯m not wrong, we should have already stepped into the territory of a Siberian tiger. In order not to encounter this Siberian tiger, we have to change our direction.¡± Standing up, Bell walked in the opposite direction of the footprints. He did not forget to explain. ¡°Actually, under normal circumstances, Siberian tigers rarely attack humans. Because felines are cautious. Once a human steps into their territory, these Siberian tigers will not immediately attack them. They will carefully observe this unknown creature. When it feels that you are of no threat, only then will it attack. But like I said, that is under normal circumstances. If this is the first time this Siberian tiger has seen a human, it should not attack you. However, in our current situation, it¡¯s winter in Siberia. If you encounter a Siberian tiger in the wild, the above theory will be invalid.¡± As he spoke, Bell climbed over another snow slope which exhausted some of his energy. ¡°If you encounter a tiger in the wilderness, the first thing you have to do is to maintain your calm. In the wilderness, no matter what beast you encounter, especially these ferocious tigers, remember not to show your back to them. If you choose to turn and escape, they will only think that you are no different from other food and immediately attack you. If the tiger does not immediately attack you and only roars at you, you have to retreat while maintaining its gaze. Such actions will make it vigilant to a certain extent and make it hesitate to attack you. Of course, if you encounter a hungry tiger, doing this is useless. If it is already rushing at you, I suggest you find a tall tree and climb up. The higher the better. Tigers can climb trees. To be precise, all felines know how to climb, but because of their size and paws, they cannot climb very high. Unless it is a serious situation, as long as you climb a tree, the tiger will not chase after you. These Siberian tigers are too heavy and can only climb a few meters. If you climb the tree faster, you should be able to survive. ¡± ¡°By the way, I forgot to mention something. These tigers have good jumping ability. When they jump, the Siberian tigers can reach 7 meters. If you don¡¯t want to be slammed down, I suggest you climb more than 10 meters. These are the best methods to deal with tigers in the wilderness. Unless you have enough firearms and have defenses, I suggest you follow my instructions to survive.¡± In fact, when he saw the footprints, Bell¡¯s heart sank. Because from the freshness of the footprints, they were left recently. Bell only hoped that this Siberian tiger was no longer in this pine forest and had gone elsewhere. Otherwise, he would probably not be able to sleep peacefully. The sky gradually darkened again, and the snow slowly started drifting in the wind. In the current situation, Bell did not hate snow because it could increase the surrounding temperature to a certain extent. Walking in the pine forest, Bell¡¯s hearing was greatly suppressed. He could only hear the whistling snow. Through the camera, the audience also saw the scene of Bell. The beauty of nature was displayed quite well. However, Bell was in no mood to appreciate this beautiful scene. He only hoped to find a shelter and start a fire to eat delicious roasted meat. If the conditions allowed it, Bell hoped to get a good sleep. While rushing in the planned direction, Bell calculated the time until nightfall. At the same time, he had to pay attention to places suitable to build a shelter. The audience in the live-stream would ask Bell some questions from time to time. Many people were curious about large cats like Siberian tigers. ¡°I just saw someone asking who is stronger between a Siberian tiger and an African lion. To be honest, they are really difficult to compare. They are like two evenly matched martial artists. In a match, the outcome can usually be decided in an instant. If the African lion and the Siberian tiger are to be compared, there are many factors that can affect the outcome. The two of them are top predators in the food chain. As long as the difference in size is less than 50kg, no one can guarantee that they can hunt the other. If I have to make a comparison, I think the Siberian tiger¡¯s chances of winning should be higher. Firstly, African lions do not have the advantage in size. This is like how humans are categorized into different weights in official combat sports. Because the two live in different environments, Siberian tigers are generally larger than African lions. Second is their weapons. Tigers have thicker and longer canines than lions, especially Siberian tigers. In addition, the forelimbs of cats are more agile. If they really fought, the Siberian tiger could use its two front paws to slap in turns. This is something that lions cannot do. That¡¯s why I think the Siberian tiger¡¯s chances of winning are much higher than the African lion¡¯s.¡± Bell explained to the audience. ¡°Of course, although that¡¯s the case, this doesn¡¯t mean that African lions are useless and have no advantage. In terms of advantage, the mane on the neck of the African lion can be used to confuse it to a certain extent, preventing the tiger from accurately biting the throat of the African lion. ¡± In fact, there were videos of lions and tigers fighting online. When the two fought, the tiger would often use its agile front claws to slap the lion. However, Bell had not seen these things personally, so he could not give a definite answer. The two species lived in completely different environments. One was in a snowy environment like Siberia, while the other was in the hot African grassland. If they wanted to see the two fight, they could only see it in various zoos or circuses. logo Chapter 307 ? 307 Snow Cave Shelter Bell could not give an accurate answer about the battle between the lion and the tiger. While he was chatting, the snow around him gradually became heavier. The snow on the ground had already reached Bell¡¯s knees. Faced with this situation, Bell had no choice but to slow down. He had already done a round of intense exercise. After walking for a while, the heat was starting to dissipate. These thin clothes could no longer resist the cold, making his entire body tremble. ¡°No, we have to find a shelter as soon as possible to dry our clothes and replenish some proteins.¡± Although he said that, the forest was buried in the thick snow. How could it be so easy to find a suitable shelter? Unless one was really lucky, they would not be able to find a natural shelter like yesterday¡¯s. Bell could only build it himself. Fortunately, there was still some time before nightfall. Bell estimated that he had about an hour left which was enough to build a shelter. He looked around and did not find a suitable place to build a shelter. After a moment of deep thought, Bell turned and walked in the direction he had come from. The audience in the live-stream was very puzzled by Bell¡¯s actions. ¡°I know what everyone is thinking. We have indeed wasted some time, but it doesn¡¯t matter. We climbed over a snow slope just earlier. We can dig a snow cave there, like the one we dug in Alaska to keep warm.¡± The energy and heat in Bell¡¯s body were almost exhausted. If he continued to endure the cold for another night, something might really happen. Therefore, he had to take some heating measures today. Fortunately, Bell soon arrived at the snow slope he had climbed. The entire snow slope looked to be more than ten meters wide and two meters tall. Putting down his backpack, Bell began to dig quickly. ¡°In this weather, if we use wooden sticks to build a shelter, a thin parachute will not be able to protect us from the cold. I¡¯ve already told everyone about the reason why the igloo can keep the inside warm. Although it¡¯s not as good as a real house, it can let me sleep peacefully. ¡± Most importantly, this place was too close to the Siberian tiger¡¯s territory. If there was such an igloo, the dangerous Siberian tiger would not dig through the snow like a groundhog and attack Bell. Of course, the interior of this snow slope was actually very loose. Unlike the snow on the ground that had been frozen as hard as ice, this slope made it relatively easy for Bell to dig. The snow hole was not straight. It needed to be dug at a slanted angle. ¡°Remember, when digging a snow cave in the wild, the angle has to be tilted upwards. This way, the cold air will not enter the cave. After digging, we will dig a snow trench. With the logic of convection current that cold air sinks, the cold air in the cave will gather in the snow trench and increase our temperature.¡± It was not difficult to dig the loose snow. It took Bell less than half an hour to dig his shelter. There was a 1m long passage. Bell¡¯s true shelter was built past the passage. When night fell, he only needed to start a fire and block this path. Bell did not dig too high. He only needed it to be about a meter tall and two meters wide. It was definitely enough to accommodate a child. He could even use this empty space to dig another trench to settle the cold air. ¡°Alright, our shelter is completed. We have to gather some firewood so that we can eat our dinner and have a good sleep.¡± Although digging this snow was not difficult, it was a huge project for Bell. He was already sweating. Now that his movements had stopped, Bell could clearly feel the sweat on his body quickly condensing. It was the same feeling as when he had fallen into the river, making the blood vessels on his skin tighten. His body started trembling involuntarily. Fortunately, Bell was in the pine forest and did not lack wood. Soon, he gathered a large pile. In order to sleep better tonight, Bell deliberately found some thick tree trunks. These thick tree trunks could burn for at least a few hours. This could increase Bell¡¯s sleep quality and prevent him from having to get up every hour to add firewood. After returning to the shelter, Bell began to start a fire. But at this moment, he could already feel that his hands were no longer agile, and his sense of touch was disappearing bit by bit. Moreover, because of the intense activity, the sweat on his skin seemed to have condensed into a thin layer of ice armor, causing Bell¡¯s temperature to drop rapidly. If he could not start a fire, Bell would probably close the live-stream and buy the life-saving medicine in the system. But it was not the time to make that decision yet. Although his fingers were not very agile, he still had a way to start a fire. The fire saw method was a good choice. It did not require much flexibility in the hand. As long as he could move the thread back and forth, and the speed was fast enough, flames would be produced in a short time. As expected, in less than a minute, a fire rose in Bell¡¯s small shelter. He added more firewood and the small flames quickly turned into a burning fire. The reflection on the smooth and white wall of the snow cave made it much brighter. ¡°Yes, it¡¯s really comfortable to have such a fire. ¡°If you haven¡¯t experienced it yourself, you will never know this comfort.¡± Bell heaved a sigh of relief. He wished he could hold this fire in his arms. After a while, Bell could feel his body gradually warm up. He used this time to block the snow passage. Of course, it was not completely blocked. At the very least, there had to be a vent. Then, Bell took out the frozen clothes from his backpack and knocked them with his hand. He could hear some clanging sounds. They were clearly frozen stiff. logo Chapter 308 ? 308 Late Night Benefits Fortunately, there was already a fire. Bell slowly dried the clothes. He took out the lynx meat from his backpack. As expected, it was also as hard as a brick. Meat that was frozen to this extent could not be roasted directly on the fire. Otherwise, even if the outside was burnt, the inside would still be cold raw meat. The best way now was to let the meat thaw naturally. This would take one to two hours. But Bell did not have the time or patience. He cut the frozen meat into small pieces and placed them in the canteen filled with snow. In a short while, the water in the canteen became a thick meat soup with the most primitive fragrance. With food and the warmth of the fire, Bell relaxed. The nervousness disappeared, and what followed was physical and mental fatigue. Mixed with hunger and fatigue was pain as well. But Bell still forced himself to focus. He could not sleep now. In this harsh environment, once he fell asleep, he would never wake up. Most of the people died here because of this. He looked at the live broadcast. He happened to see the audience asking why he did not eat this meat yesterday. After all, Bell had not eaten anything for so long. Bell shook his head and said with a smile, ¡°Actually, the reason why I didn¡¯t choose to eat this meat yesterday was mainly because I didn¡¯t have a fire.¡± ¡°Although food can replenish our calories, cold food will consume more than replenish.¡± ¡°After comparing the pros and cons, I didn¡¯t choose to eat this meat yesterday.¡± Bell added more firewood to the fire. Steam slowly rose from the canteen. At the same time, the fragrance of meat spread in this small space. There was no seasoning. Ordinary people would definitely not be able to eat it, but Bell was eating with relish. There was not even any meat soup left. Seeing Bell eat heartily, the audience couldn¡¯t help but swallow. They could not tell if the meat soup was delicious or not. ¡°Every time I watch Bell¡¯s live broadcast, I know that the food he eats is not delicious, but I still get hungry.¡± ¡°I suggest Bell change this program to a food program.¡± ¡°You can try unseasoned meat soup at home. I guarantee that you won¡¯t feel like eating for the entire day after eating it.¡± ¡°If there is an apocalypse, I think Bell will definitely be the last survivor.¡± ¡°Hehe, not only would he survive, but he might also have a comfortable life.¡± The audience in the live-stream had fun with the comments. As he finished the meat soup, Bell¡¯s fatigue was dispelled. This feeling of coming back to life was extremely refreshing. Bell had not eaten for almost two days and two nights. In addition, in the cold environment, more heat was consumed. A small pot of meat soup was clearly not enough to satisfy Bell. The clothes beside the fire had already dried. Bell quickly put on his clothes. The warmth made him heave a sigh of relief. ¡°I can only feel a little warmth when there is fire.¡± After removing the bones, the lynx meat was less than three kilograms. It was simply not enough to sate Bell¡¯s current appetite. Bell digested it in less than an hour. Bell¡¯s spirits finally recovered. ¡°I really don¡¯t want to experience this cold environment again.¡± ¡°Such a cold ice field like Siberia can make people despair. It¡¯s hard to imagine that Yakuts have lived here for thousands of years. ¡± ¡°I need to have a good sleep and recuperate. Only then can I deal with new challenges. After all, this place is filled with danger. ¡± ¡°Good night, everyone.¡± Bell quickly fell asleep on the screen. At the same time, in Shanghai. Scarlett, Anne, and other girls were watching Bell¡¯s live broadcast. ¡°Should we tell him the news?¡± Anne looked at the people beside her. ¡°He¡¯s still doing the live broadcast. Let¡¯s not distract him.¡± ¡°Wait for his return before we tell him the news.¡± ¡°It¡¯s really hard to imagine that Bell¡¯s program could reach this stage.¡± ¡°Yeah, he¡¯s still so young. If he were older¡­¡± Anne Hathaway seemed to have thought of something and blushed. The girls looked at each other and smiled. They knew what each other were thinking. But Bell was just a child. By the time Bell grew up, they would probably be old women. Thinking of this, the few of them could not help but feel disappointed. Only the youngest, Li Ziqi, rolled her eyes. It was unknown what she was thinking. As Bell fell asleep in the live-stream, a rustling sound suddenly came from a dark cave in the quiet pine forest. A muscular figure moved. It seemed to be sniffing. It slowly opened his eyes. The huge creature had just woken up, and its eyes were still filled with confusion. But soon, it shook its head and the confusion in its eyes faded. It dragged its heavy body out of the cave. Under the faint moonlight, it could be seen that it was a huge brown bear. Or rather, a huge Siberian brown bear. The cold wind made the brown bear feel uncomfortable. It growled as if to vent its dissatisfaction. In the past, it would never move on such a cold night. But it was too hungry right now. It sniffed again and confirmed the direction. The brown bear slowly disappeared into the pine forest. Bell had no idea about the danger. At this moment, he was still lying on the lynx skin and dreaming. It was quiet. Other than Bell¡¯s snoring, there was only the crackling of the fire. It was almost midnight in China. Many of the audience were preparing to rest. However, at this moment. Splash! A sound suddenly sounded. Something seemed to be digging at the snow cave. But the accumulated snow was so deep that no one could hear clearly. At first, they thought that the snow on the trees outside the shelter was blown away by the wind. But as the sound became more obvious, the audience in the live-stream finally reacted. ¡°F*ck, is something digging?!¡± ¡°It was not in vain that I waited until now!¡± ¡°As expected, those who sleep late have unexpected gains!¡± logo Chapter 309 ? 309 Hungry Brown Bear The audience in the live-stream became excited. They were guessing what kind of beast was outside the shelter. ¡°Didn¡¯t Bell find footprints earlier? Do you think it might be a Siberian tiger?¡± ¡°Won¡¯t Bell be finished if it was a Siberian tiger?¡± ¡°Hehe, the previous poster is too naive. According to the progress of the show, the Siberian tiger might be made into tomorrow¡¯s breakfast by Bell.¡± ¡°Yes, I agree with the previous poster.¡± ¡°F*ck, what¡¯s the use of agreeing? Bell is not awake yet!¡± Only then did everyone react. ¡°Bell¡¯s mental strength is really high.¡± The comments in the live-stream were filled with the continuous sound of digging Even so, it did not affect Bell¡¯s sleep. Two days and two nights of high-intensity work had really exhausted him. However, Bell was still very sensitive to danger. Bell suddenly opened his eyes in his sleep. But at the same time, the snow cover shattered, and a big furry head poked in. Because the head was too big, it could not enter completely through the narrow hole. Instead, half of it was stuck in the hole. Bell could not care less. He quickly got up. His heartbeat was thumping madly. Who could stand seeing such a huge brown bear facing them? Fortunately, this brown bear did not expect there to be a person in the shelter. The scene was a little awkward. The man and bear stood rooted to the ground. Other than the crackling sound of the fire, there was no other sound. Although the brown bear was big, it was very timid, especially when it saw food that it had never seen before. The timid creatures would choose to hide. The old hunters or forest rangers who lived in the deep mountains knew of this. Most of the time, brown bears would watch from afar. If a human made a loud noise, they would immediately escape. However, this was under normal circumstances. In some special circumstances, brown bears would overcome their timidity. For example, hunger. Or when they were threatened and angered by humans. There were also female bears who attacked to protect their cubs. Bell had encountered the female mother bear once in the Arctic Circle. It chose to attack Bell without hesitation. Bell did not dare to act rashly. The brown bear opened its round eyes and looked at Bell curiously. The man and bear did not dare to act rashly. Bell whispered to the camera to calm his tone. ¡°If you encounter this situation, you have to be careful. At this moment, even the slightest movement from you might scare it. ¡± ¡°Although I can¡¯t see its body, I can tell from its head that this brown bear is definitely not smaller than 2.5 meters.¡± ¡°Its claws are probably bigger than my head. If I get hit by its claws, the show will end completely.¡± The audience in the live-stream was not afraid. Instead, they were excited. After watching Bell¡¯s Wilderness Survival so many times, they were already used to such scenes. They even had the mood to joke. ¡°Bell, this is your specialty.¡± ¡°The black bear¡¯s paw was not cooked properly last time. It must be a problem with the cooking method. You still have a chance to try it.¡± ¡°Aren¡¯t brown bears a protected animal? Isn¡¯t it illegal to kill brown bears?¡± ¡°That will depend on how you kill it. If you kill brown bears with your bare hands like Bell, the country will definitely not pursue the matter. They will even give you special treatment.¡± ¡°I¡¯m not bragging, but this matter is not as dangerous as you think. When I was eight years old, I could fight brown bears barehanded. I am even watching the broadcast¡­ from a hospital.¡± ¡°Previous poster, can I ask which ward you are in?¡± The audience in the live-stream continued to tease in a good mood, but Bell was not in the mood. In fact, before sleeping, he had expected a creature to attack his shelter. It might be a Siberian tiger or a tundra wolf, but he had not expected an awakened brown bear. After all, bears rarely woke up in the middle of hibernation. ¡°Our luck is not good. The smell of roasted meat was probably smelled by this brown bear.¡± Brown bears had a very sensitive sense of smell. Seeing that Bell did not seem to be a threat, the huge bear head began to turn to see if there was anything else in the shelter. When it saw the fragrant bones beside the fire, its eyes lit up and it struggled even more violently. It clearly wanted to crawl in. This action shocked Bell. His hand fell to his leg. His dagger was there. If there was really any danger, like when the brown bear attacked, he could draw his weapon immediately. This loose snow could not resist the strength of the brown bear. In just a moment, the bear¡¯s huge head completely squeezed in. But there was still a fire in the shelter. Any wild animal would be afraid of the flames. Even the burly brown bear was no exception. It did not advance immediately due to the fire. Hunting brown bears was allowed in Siberia. Of course, you needed to get a hunting permit approved by the government. Moreover, you could only hunt adult brown bears, and you could not sell bear skin. Of course, indigenous groups like Yakuts had special privileges. Illegal hunting of brown bears was sentenced to five to ten years in prison. However, the premise was that the brown bear did not attack you. Once the beasts attacked, human rights would be the priority. Bell did not think he could kill such a huge brown bear. ¡°I have to use some tricks.¡± ¡°If we encounter brown bears or black bears, we can choose to scare them away; for example, imitating the growl of a Siberian tiger.¡± ¡°Of course, I¡¯m talking about Siberia. Siberian tigers are at the top of the food chain here. No one dares to provoke them, be it the black bears or brown bears.¡± ¡°If it were anywhere else, I suggest you change the method.¡± Bell stared at the brown bear in front of him, and his gaze gradually changed. His chest slowly rose. A roar erupted. His astonishing lung capacity actually made the surrounding snow tremble. This tiger roar was vividly imitated. Not only the brown bear, but even the audience was stunned. However, the scene of the brown bear escaping did not appear. After the shock, the brown bear began to twist its body crazily and even looked at Bell with hatred. ¡°F*ck, this is bad. It is angered!¡± logo Chapter 310 ? 310 Life and Death Crisis The danger level instantly increased. In this situation, even Siberian tigers did not dare to provoke these brown bears. Bell was speechless. He had wanted to scare this brown bear away, but he did not expect to anger it. Without hesitation, he carried his backpack and kicked the snow hole. Then, he left the shelter. The fire could no longer intimidate the brown bear in its enraged state. Not to mention a small fire, even if there was a wall of fire, it would not hesitate to rush over. The small space made Bell lose his flexibility. The snow slope was not hard and could not stop a violent brown bear. It could even easily break a tree as thick as a bucket. The moment Bell escaped from the hole, he heard a loud bang. Looking back, the brown bear¡¯s entire body was buried in the shelter. ¡°Run!¡± Bell shouted and ran towards the forest. It was still dark, but Bell was able to see the path vaguely with the help of the stars. However, he was cursing in his heart. If he had the choice, he would fight a Siberian tiger one-on-one instead of such a violent brown bear. Moreover, it was a very large brown bear that had woken up in hunger. At this moment, the brown bear had no trace of timidity. Even pain and death could not threaten it. The only thought in its mind was to tear the creature in front of it into pieces. If Bell really gave his all, he could kill this brown bear, but he would be severely injured as well. That would mean the end of this wilderness survival episode. He might even be permanently crippled and would have to say goodbye to wilderness survival forever. Even if he stabbed this brown bear more than ten times, it would still have the strength to attack. Someone had tested that under normal circumstances, a brown bear¡¯s strength would reach 1.2 tons. When provoked, this strength could even reach 1.5 tons. What Bell was facing now was a bear that was enraged. 1.5 tons was definitely not its limit. Boom! There was another sound, and the snow that buried the brown bear splashed everywhere. The huge brown bear rushed at Bell like a small tank. Although bears looked heavy, they were not slow at all. They could run for a few hours at a speed of 56 kilometers per hour. With his current physique, it was impossible for him to outrun the brown bear. However, he was still confident in short distance sprinting. ¡°F*ck, Bell, run quickly. The brown bear is catching up!¡± ¡°Amazing, this thing is really tough!¡± ¡°Bell, don¡¯t be a coward, get it!¡± In the live-stream, the audience posted random comments. Bell was trying his best to stall for time. It was impossible for this brown bear to maintain this berserk state. When it calmed down, he would counterattack. What was the berserk state? To put it simply, it was extreme anger. If this appeared on the human body, the effect would be a high adrenaline rush. The nerves would make one¡¯s mental reaction and physique far exceed normal. The effect of adrenaline usually lasted about three minutes. Of course, this was because humans had higher intelligence and could easily control their emotions. The brown bear¡¯s emotions were unstable. But Bell was sure that it would not be more than ten minutes. These ten minutes were Bell¡¯s greatest test. While running, Bell already understood why the brown bear had suddenly flown into a rage when he imitated the roar of the Siberian tiger. His method was definitely not a problem. The only thing that could go wrong was this brown bear. If he was not wrong, this brown bear might have been seriously injured by a Siberian tiger. That life and death situation was still fresh in its mind. Therefore, as soon as Bell made that sound, it recalled the situation again. Bell even speculated based on this clue. He had seen the footprints of the Siberian tiger that day. Like the brown bear, it was very territorial. Since he saw the footprints of the Siberian tiger, and this brown bear had appeared here, it was very likely that they had fought before. ¡°My luck is really bad.¡± Bell couldn¡¯t help but complain. The short period of intense movement made him sweat. There was no need to worry about it now. After all, heat was being generated. However, once the two of them calmed down and entered a confrontation again, the sweat on his body would freeze into ice beads. At that time, it would not take long for him to suffer deep frostbite. Therefore, he had to decide whether to run or fight immediately. In the middle of the night, Bell kept running in the dense forest. Bell was smaller, and the brown bear was larger, so the trees in the way slowed down the brown bear to a certain extent. The man and bear moved through the forest. Time seemed to pass so slowly. Suddenly, Bell saw a thick tree ahead and his eyes lit up. ¡°Maybe I can kill this brown bear.¡± With just a thought, Bell had already made a plan. He glanced at the brown bear with a cold gaze. This guy had exhausted him so much in this environment. It would be unreasonable not to use it to replenish his energy. The brown bear continued to chase after Bell. Because it was close and its vision was focused on Bell, the brown bear could not stop itself in time. Its huge body slammed into the pine tree at high speed. The thick pine tree let out creaking sounds, and the branches kept shaking as if they were about to break. The accumulated snow on the branches buried the brown bear, but it was not deep. Bell was sure that the impact was definitely not light. The brown bear under the tree did not move, as if it had died from the impact. Bell did not dare to act rashly. Brown bears were famous for their tenacious vitality. Their skulls were as hard as steel. There was a thick layer of fat under the skin to reduce the impact. Even such a strong impact would at most make this brown bear faint. But this was enough for Bell. An unconscious brown bear was an easy prey. Bell adjusted his body. His eyes were cold as he held the dagger. Without hesitation, he took out his dagger and pounced. As long as the dagger pierced the brown bear¡¯s head, this battle would end. With Bell¡¯s accuracy, there would be no mistake. However. Pcchh! The cold blade cut into the bone. The dagger that was more than ten centimeters long could not pierce into the brown bear¡¯s brain. ROAR!!! The brown bear suddenly stood up. Bell instantly fell into a life and death crisis. logo Chapter 311 ? 311 Wooden Hut The brown bear, which had already left its berserk state, turned into a killing machine again under the intense pain. At this moment, the brown bear was only a meter away from Bell. Its huge body stood up and turned into a tall tower in front of Bell. Its human-head-sized bear paw slapped at Bell with a great force. Even through the screen, the audience could hear the sound of the bear paw moving. If this palm landed, Bell¡¯s head would definitely be smashed into pieces. But at this moment, Bell seemed to be stunned. He stood rooted to the ground. ¡°F*ck, run, host!¡± ¡°It¡¯s over, it¡¯s over. Bell is scared out of his mind.¡± ¡°Previous poster, are you stupid? Bell is clearly injured.¡± ¡°Is there going to be a live accident today?¡± The audience in the live-stream guessed wildly. In fact, Bell was just paying attention to the black bear¡¯s actions. The black bear was three meters tall. It was like a mountain in front of Bell. But this did not mean that Bell would accept his fate. When the huge bear paw was less than twenty centimeters away from him, Bell finally moved. He suddenly bent down and quickly circled behind the brown bear. The brown bear¡¯s full-powered attack missed. Its body staggered due to the inertia. A golden light flashed in Bell¡¯s eyes. He flipped the dagger in his hand and slashed up. At the same time, the Wilderness Hunter skill was activated. This time, Bell used all of his strength. The dagger stabbed into the brown bear¡¯s eye socket. The brown bear roared. The huge bear paw slapped again. But this time, Bell did not dodge. Instead, he jumped into the air. After dodging the bear paw, he kicked the hilt. The force focused on the dagger blade that was stuck in the bear¡¯s eye socket and pierced in. At the same time, it pierced through the brown bear¡¯s brain. The brown bear stopped moving. On the other hand, Bell was panting heavily. ¡°That was close.¡± The audience was dumbfounded. ¡°F*ck, Bell, what martial arts do you know? You can secretly tell us.¡± Bell¡¯s smooth actions had really shocked the audience. Even the most professional athlete could not surpass such movements. Moreover, that dangerous scene felt even more exciting and thrilling than an action movie. All kinds of gifts filled the screen. Bell was finally relieved. ¡°With this big guy, we don¡¯t have to worry about food for the time being.¡± ¡°This is this brown bear¡¯s territory. There are no other large hunting animals. We don¡¯t have to worry about other creatures.¡± Looking at the brown bear¡¯s corpse, Bell suddenly made a bold decision. ¡°This bear will help us get through tonight.¡± The audience had yet to react. Bell pulled the dagger out of the brown bear¡¯s head and stabbed it in the abdomen. After a while, the brown bear¡¯s internal organs were all taken out. ¡°Brown bears have very thick fat.¡± ¡°It can resist the cold.¡± ¡°My stamina and environment no longer allow me to search for a new shelter. This brown bear is my only hope of surviving tonight.¡± The next moment, Bell took off his jacket. ¡°F*ck, Bell, what are you doing?!¡± ¡°Not suitable for children.¡± ¡°Haha, Bell, let the sisters take a good look.¡± There was no lack of female fans in the live-stream. Seeing Bell take off his jacket, they began to join in the fun. The next scene made many fans shut up. Bell crawled into the brown bear¡¯s abdomen. ¡°Everyone, I¡¯m spending the night here.¡± After saying this, Bell closed the brown bear¡¯s stomach. The fans in the live-stream exploded. ¡°F*ck, there¡¯s such a method?¡± This was definitely the first time they had seen such a thing. Soon, Bell¡¯s live-stream was filled with people. In Li Ziqi¡¯s villa in Shanghai. The girls heaved a sigh of relief. ¡°It was so dangerous.¡± ¡°I hope Bell will cross tonight safely.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t talk nonsense. He will definitely be safe.¡± In the office building of the Discovery Channel. The middle-aged man looked at the computer and clenched his fists. ¡°I knew this kid would be fine.¡± ¡°Tell the higher-ups that when this kid returns, all the privileges will be opened immediately.¡± ¡°We have to create a new program for him.¡± But in fact, various stations in the country were sending invitations at the same time. The popularity of Bell¡¯s live-stream had already proven his value to them. Bell¡¯s fans had exceeded 100 million. He was definitely a top survivalist. The night passed quickly. Early in the morning. The snow gradually stopped. Bell crawled out of the black bear¡¯s abdomen. The cold wind immediately refreshed him. ¡°Everyone, looks like our luck is good. We passed the night safely.¡± He put on his clothes and cut off some bear meat. Bell did not delay further. ¡°We have already walked through this pine forest.¡± According to our previous route, we should not be far from the civilized world. Just as he finished speaking, Bell suddenly saw a wooden hut ahead. Bell¡¯s eyes lit up. ¡°Look what I just said!¡± The appearance of the wooden hut proved that Bell was not far from the civilized society. After taking quick steps, Bell entered the wooden house. Although the old wooden door had not fallen off, it was only a matter of time. The wooden door creaked open. Some old equipment were in the house. Due to the cold environment, not much dust had accumulated. ¡°This wooden hut looks small. It should be more than ten years old.¡± ¡°We exhausted too much energy last night. We can use this place as a temporary shelter to replenish our energy.¡± ¡°After tidying up, we can walk out of this cold ice field.¡± With shelter, Bell relaxed. He lit the firewood in the fireplace, increasing the surrounding temperature. He also found two sealed jars of seasoning. It seemed like the previous owner had left them behind. The bear meat in his backpack was put on the stove. With the seasoning, the fragrance of the meat seemed to become richer. ¡°Everyone, let us have a good rest today. We will walk out of here tomorrow.¡± ¡°Today¡¯s broadcast is over.¡± logo Chapter 312 ? 312 End of the Livestream, Growth Potion The morning sun shone through the vent on the roof and Bell slowly opened his eyes. The coldest period of the day had passed. After eating the remaining bear meat and finishing his breakfast, Bell stood up. He looked at the camera and smiled. ¡°Alright, everyone, we¡¯re returning home today.¡± The cold wind blew in again. Bell walked forward slowly. Because the snow was too deep, Bell walked very awkwardly. The time for the train to pass by was not fixed. The Siberian railway was too long. It was normal for the speed to fluctuate and the delay could even extend for several hours sometimes. According to Bell¡¯s estimation, the train should arrive at three in the afternoon just as the sky started turning dark. However, just in case, Bell did not delay. He wanted to reach the station two hours earlier. Bell did not want to stay in such an outdoor environment for a moment longer. The tigers and brown bears had given him enough of a headache. Soon, Bell arrived at the top of the mountain. It was a world of white wherever he looked. There was only a dark railway like a long dragon entrenched in the snow. At a glance, there was no end to it. ¡°The snowfall here will increase sharply every winter. Trains can¡¯t pass directly, so at this time, the workers at various stations remove the snow. Usually, the day before the train departs, the railway workers will drive out and start working to remove the snow.¡± The way down the mountain was not as easy as expected. He was only dozens of meters away from the railway, but he was stuck halfway down the mountain. ¡°I feel like I¡¯m walking on a tightrope. The snow here is too loose. If I¡¯m not careful, I might fall.¡± Rumble. While Bell was talking, the train¡¯s honking sound suddenly arrived. ¡°F*ck, not good!¡± Bell, who was halfway down the mountain, cursed. He had expected the train to be late, but he did not expect it to arrive so early. He was halfway down the mountain. If he did not reach the station in time, the train would set off without him. At this speed, it would take him at least half an hour to reach the station. Once he missed this train, he would have to wait for at least three days. There was no time to talk. Bell quickly looked around to find a way. Suddenly, Bell¡¯s eyes lit up. There was a rock ledge on the lower right. The drop was about ten meters. If it were thirty meters, even if there was snow below, Bell did not dare to take the risk, but if it was just more than ten meters, he could try. Seeing the train approaching, Bell gritted his teeth. With his physique, he should be able to withstand it. Taking a deep breath, Bell adjusted his condition. The next moment, he pounced down like a monkey. With a bang, Bell¡¯s weight sent the snow flying. Although it was ten meters or so, it still made Bell¡¯s feet tingle. At the same time, the train arrived. There was no time to explain. Everyone in the live-stream held their breaths. Bell stared fixedly at the approaching train. He took a deep breath. He actually moved towards the roof of the train. At this moment, the adrenaline in Bell¡¯s body soared. Although it was a cold environment, Bell still felt his blood boil. This was the charm of wilderness survival. It was also because of this thrill that Bell continued to do live broadcasts again and again. The train kept roaring. Bell sat on the roof of the train and took deep breaths. The audience in the live-stream was stunned. ¡°F*ck, Bell is awesome!¡± ¡°How is this a live broadcast? This is simply playing with his life.¡± ¡°Watching Bell¡¯s live broadcast feels more exciting than watching a movie.¡± Thump, thump. Bell¡¯s heart beat wildly. However, a smile slowly appeared on his face. ¡°Everyone, this round of Wilderness Survival is over.¡± ¡°I¡¯m really happy to be able to spend so much time with everyone.¡± ¡°But after this live broadcast, I think I need to adjust for a while.¡± ¡°I¡¯m looking forward to meeting everyone again. I hope everyone can pay attention to my Weibo status.¡± The audience in the live-stream was reluctant. Everyone felt that Bell¡¯s live broadcast was too short. After resolving all the crises, Bell could finally relax. The live-stream closed. The system¡¯s voice suddenly sounded in Bell¡¯s mind. [Congratulations, host, you have completed six wilderness survival live broadcasts.] [System has gifted a growth potion.] [System has gifted an age fixing potion.] [They have been sent to the host¡¯s inventory.] Bell was stunned for a moment. He opened the system interface. [The growth potion can catalyze the host¡¯s growth without any side effects.] [Age fixing potion can stabilize the user¡¯s age and appearance.] Looking at the two potions given by the system, figures of Li Ziqi, Scarlett, Anne, and others flashed in Bell¡¯s mind. Perhaps I can change my identity when I return. Bell was not a real child after all. He more or less understood what Scarlett and the others were thinking. If not for the potions given by the system, he might not have dreamed of this. But now, there seemed to be an opportunity. The train sped past. It gradually stopped at the station. As soon as Bell got out of the train, a large number of reporters rushed forward. The passengers in the train did not know what was going on. It was not until they saw Bell that they understood what was going on. ¡°Mr. Bell, I didn¡¯t expect you to really be on this train. What are your thoughts on this live broadcast?¡± ¡°Mr. Bell, when is the next live broadcast?¡± ¡°Mr. Bell, I heard that you have already established your own company. Will you continue to live-stream on the current platform?¡± A large number of reporters surrounded Bell and asked questions. Bell was also a skilled talker. However, he only answered perfunctorily. After receiving the potions from the system, Bell had other thoughts. ¡°I will never give up on wilderness survival.¡± Bell said his thoughts in front of the reporters. Outside the crowd, Scarlett, Li Ziqi, Anne, and other girls had already rushed over. They had a smile on their faces as they looked at Bell. logo Chapter 313 - END ? 313 Retirement, Finale In Shanghai, China. Today was the third day since Bell returned to China with Scarlett and the others. However, Bell had not been idle these few days. He spent almost all his time in the hospital. Other than removing the parasites in his body, he also took scans to see if there were any injuries in his body. After all, fighting the brown bear was not a joke. Fortunately, he had the system. All his injuries had basically recovered. Bell looked at the women in front of him. On the table were the potions given by the system. ¡°I¡¯ve already told you everything.¡± ¡°I¡¯m preparing to change my identity.¡± ¡°I understand everyone¡¯s intentions. Thank you for helping me for so long.¡± ¡°Please keep the system a secret.¡± Bell had told the girls all about himself and the system. Scarlett, Li Ziqi, and others looked at Bell and did not know what to say. As an eight-year-old child, Bell¡¯s various actions were finally explained. ¡°Bell, are you serious? Can you really become an adult after drinking this potion?¡± Li Ziqi was still worried. Bell nodded seriously. Scarlett picked up the age fixing potion from the table. ¡°I believe in Bell.¡± Scarlett Johansson was the first to know Bell. The two of them were similar in their actual age. Now that she heard Bell speak his mind and that he had a solution, of course, she did not hesitate to support him. Anne Hathaway held Scarlett¡¯s hand. ¡°What are you doing?¡± Even if she did not want to be with Bell, she should not stop him. Scarlett looked at Anne unhappily. ¡°That¡¯s not what I meant. Have you forgotten that we have something to tell Bell?¡± Hearing this, Scarlett Johansson reacted. ¡°Oh, right, how could I have forgotten it?¡± ¡°Bell, the channel looked for you before and is preparing to produce a special program with you.¡± ¡°If you really drink this potion, will you¡­¡± They were worried that Bell would lose popularity. Bell smiled and shook his head. ¡°I won¡¯t record the new program for now.¡± ¡°As for the popularity, I have a way.¡± Bell was not worried that he would not be able to make a comeback with a new account. His physique would only continue to strengthen with the help of the system. Moreover, after these wilderness survival broadcasts, Bell had already thought of the future. He had already explored some ordinary dangerous areas. It was time to explore some mysterious domains. It was indeed a little inconvenient to do it in the form of a child. It was because of this that Bell made such a decision without hesitation. The women no longer hesitated. ¡°Alright, since you¡¯ve decided, we¡¯ll support you.¡± Looking at the women who were supporting him, Bell smiled and drank the growth potion without hesitation. The spicy feeling spread down Bell¡¯s throat. Intense pain enveloped his entire body. Bell fainted. After an unknown period of time, he slowly woke up. He looked at the familiar yet unfamiliar environment. ¡°You¡¯re awake, Bell!¡± Scarlett and the others were sitting by the bed. Looking at Bell, they covered their mouths and laughed. Their gaze was indescribably strange. Bell had a bad feeling. He quickly got up and looked in the mirror, realizing that he had really grown up. In various ways. It was a muscular young man who looked to be in his twenties. His muscles were well-defined. It could be said to be in a perfect golden ratio. Bell could even clearly feel that his physique had increased greatly after drinking the potion. ¡°Is this the effect of the growth potion? It¡¯s really magical!¡± ¡°I can¡¯t wait to try this age fixing potion.¡± Seeing Bell¡¯s appearance, the girls were tempted. Everyone smiled and made a decision. Time passed slowly. Bell¡¯s Weibo exploded. There was no news from him. Bell seemed to have disappeared from the live-stream. A new young and handsome host suddenly appeared on a new platform. The theme was also wilderness survival. However, the location of the exploration was even more terrifying. Bermuda Triangle. The strange areas became the exploration target of this host. The viewers were slowly convinced in the abilities of the host. Bell¡¯s name was often mentioned. Some audience members even compared Bell to this new host. After all, Bell was only eight years old. But with the new host¡¯s various challenges, his strong physique, agile movements, and handsome appearance finally conquered everyone. As time passed, Bell gradually disappeared from the audience¡¯s mind. The memories of the Internet were always very short. Even if they were once streamers with hundreds of millions of fans, no one would care after the popularity subsided. Another wilderness survival live broadcast ended. Bell returned to the villa. Looking at Anne¡¯s slightly bulging stomach and the child beside Scarlett, Bell smiled. ¡°Why are you trying so hard in the live broadcast? The children have learned bad things from you.¡± The women looked at Bell and reprimanded. Bell smiled. ¡°How can you call it bad? If there¡¯s a chance, I want to take these little guys with me on a survival adventure.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t forget that they are my children. They are born with the genes to conquer the wilderness.¡± ¡°By the way, I had a title before. I was called the King of the Wilderness.¡± ¡°Then these little guys can be considered princes and princesses of the wilderness.¡± Bell touched his nose and teased. Looking at the little guys in the courtyard, Bell finally felt the warmth of home. ¡°Maybe it¡¯s time to rest.¡± Wilderness Survival, Bell¡¯s name, and the young man who had explored countless dangerous areas and found countless treasures were all recorded. However, they took advantage of the Internet craze and finally disappeared. Only countless viewers sighed in nostalgia.
