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. ”
