Are You Telling An Eight-Year-Old To Survive In The Wilderness? - Chapter 246
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.
