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

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.”
