Chapter 289: The King of the Amazon (Plus 2, Ask for a Monthly Pass!Ask for a Subscription!)
"That's a good question, and to be honest, I've had a lot of people around me ask me before this question, like someone will say, Bell, you don't have to actually eat it, Bell, you've proven that you can eat it, and you're famous, you don't have to eat anymore, and so on, ...... and so on."
"Then?" Tang Hao looked at Bell curiously. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
"Actually, eating these things is a very interesting thing for me, and it's not as hard as many people think it is purely to increase the effect of the show. Bell said lightly, judging from his expression, it was not a lie.
"Huh?" Tang Hao was somewhat surprised.
"You know, in the wild, it's not always like we're so lucky. Bell said and looked at the crocodile meat on the campfire in front of him, "And honestly the barbecue is easy to attract other large carnivores, so eating those is necessary, I do this show, to deliver the right message to the audience, this is the most important point, so when we can eat it raw, raw is a better choice, and then ......"
Bell said as he flipped the crocodile meat over and turned his head and said, "Those things are indeed high in protein. ”
This mantra immediately caused Tang Hao to burst into laughter, and Bell also laughed.
"Well, in fact, isn't it a memorable thing to think about being the first person to eat those things?" Bell said with a laugh.
"That's right, and then ......," Tang Hao said, pointing to Bell's stomach.
"That's a credit to Dale, he's my safety officer, and every time I go back to London, I do a full check-up, and I have to make sure I'm completely healthy the next time I go into the wilderness. Bell said, gesturing to the group camping in the distance.
"Okay, okay. Bell said as he took the crocodile meat in front of him, poked it, and said.
Tang Hao also took it back and smelled it, it was very similar, and it smelled a bit like the smell of steak.
"Crocodile meat is one of the best energy and nutrients you can get, it has very low cholesterol content, and it has as much protein as beef, but only half the fat of beef...... "Bell began to talk to the screen before eating.
Tang Hao picked up his phone and looked at it, needless to say, it was another curse to Bell.
He smiled along, picked up the cooked crocodile meat and stuffed it directly into his mouth.
The crocodile is full of muscles, and it tastes quite chewy, which tastes better than steak.
Bell also ate a piece at this time, and said intoxicated: "In fact, crocodile meat can also help us with West Nile fever and treat asthma, which is really delicious and practical." ”
"Really?" Tang Hao looked at Bell.
Bell nodded, took the crocodile at this time, cut two pieces of fat off his body with a knife, and said: "The mosquitoes in the Amazon are rampant, and the termite nests we burn do not completely guarantee that we are safe from mosquitoes, in fact, the local Indians used to use this to repel mosquitoes. ”
As he spoke, Bell wiped the fat on his bare body, and said with pleasure while touching it: "That way, the damn mosquitoes won't come to bite you, oh hoo, this feeling is really refreshing, it's like applying a layer of glycerin." ”
Tang Hao took the fat and began to rub it on his bare skin.
When I first applied it, it was like smearing oil on my body, but soon, there was a cool feeling, and it was really like glycerin.
When that was done, Bell hung the rest of the crocodile meat away from the camp as he had done last time, and the two of them went to sleep.
There was no rain all night, and when they woke up the next day, both of them were recovering very well.
"In fact, it was one of the most enjoyable nights we've had since we entered Amazon. Bell said with a smile on his face as he got up.
When they got up, they followed and went to look at the crocodile meat hanging there.
Luckily, this time the crocodile meat was all there.
And the deeper problem is that this generation does not have a forest snake activity, and they can move on with confidence.
"Okay, let's hurry, we're at about sea level now, we have to get to the coast before sunset, no one wants to spend the night in the Amazon, of course, we can't give up this food easily." Bell said as he took the crocodile meat off.
The two men walked briskly, and it was not long before they came to the bank of the river.
There was still a dense forest ahead, and it would have been very difficult for them to keep going, so they chose to build a raft and use it to sail to the coast, which was part of their original plan.
Time was pressing, the two of them found a light wood forest and hurried to make a raft, and Bell didn't know where to find thorny plants, so he tied them directly around the raft.
"These balsa woods, they're big, but they're light, they're great materials for rafts, and then these barbed plays, crocodiles or forest snakes won't like them. Bell said as he tied up.
It took them more than three hours to finally make a raft large enough to hold two people, and Bell made two extra oars, which allowed them to steer in the river.
They pushed the raft towards the river, and Tang Hao and Bell followed and boarded the boat.
As for Bell's camera team, they used an inflatable boat outside the live video, and several people sat on it and continued to follow them live.
As Bell described, the river is like a highway in the rainforest, and the speed of the water route is several times faster than the land route.
The dense woods on both sides give it an eerie feel and must be quite a torturous thing to walk in.
Bell turned on his personal camera at this time and began his explanation again: "There are many very aggressive creatures in the Amazon, in addition to the forest snake, python and caiman, electric eels and piranhas are creatures that you need to watch out for, according to the records, more than 2,000 people die in the Amazon every year because of these two fish, which is not alarmist. ”
Tang Hao also carefully observed the water surface at this time, although the waterway was faster, there were also many creatures living in the water, like the forest python that he had encountered before was the most terrifying creature.
"Electric eel, it can instantly release a strong voltage, although it is not enough to electrocute a person, but it can make people heart and lung failure, even coma, once you fall into that situation, it is definitely a bad thing, and piranhas, rich in species, red-bellied piranhas, vampire fish, Paku piranhas, compared to piranha, they are more crazy creatures, you will never want to meet them here. "Bell's oratorical talent is indeed very strong, and after a few words, it can already make people feel a cold swish.
Bell and Tang Hao skied a little, trying not to let the underwater creatures feel their presence.
It was quiet, with only the occasional monkey in the treetops making some noises.
Tang Hao felt an indescribable discomfort, always feeling that something was approaching.
Bell noticed Tang Hao's emotions at this time, turned off the camera, and whispered: "Don't be nervous, when I was floating on the ocean, that kind of loneliness, I would also imagine that a great white shark would pop out under the water, but in fact, the ocean is very big and there are many rivers, unless we are really unlucky, it will be fine." ”
Tang Hao nodded, Bell is an old driver, it is the first time he is in this kind of place, and it is normal for him to feel a little strange.
They drifted along the river for more than half an hour, and did not encounter any danger, and the river gradually widened and the trees on both sides gradually became lower, which meant that they were getting closer and closer to the shore.
That's great news for them.
"We need to try to move from land, and it's not a very wise decision to go directly from the river to the shoreline. ”
Bell said, motioning for Tang Hao to exert force with him, and the two of them leaned towards the shore.
There was no land on the shore at this time, only patches of mangrove forests, which means that the coastline is not too far away from them.
The camera crew climbed up the flood forest farther away from them, and only followed after they were sure they were passable ahead, and they turned on the camera on their wrists.
They tried to walk a little further, but the uncertainty of the distance between the trees, combined with the occasional bubbles under the water, forced them to abandon the path.
They returned to the raft the way they came, ready to go straight with the tide into the sea, and then think about how to get back to shore.
They walked back to the raft, boarded the boat, paddled to the shore, and prepared to continue floating down the river.
But at this moment, they felt a huge undercurrent suddenly surging under the water, and the whole raft was turned upside down.
It's not a coastline, there's no dark tide or anything, the only thing that's possible is that there's something underwater, and it's a big guy.
"Be careful. Bell immediately reminded that they were now on the water, and it was very dangerous.
The camera team behind them, who were about to board the ship, also retreated at Bell's prompting.
The water is very quiet, and the silence makes people feel a little hairy.
"Wow!"
At that moment, the water behind them burst open, and a behemoth burst out of the water, opened its bloody mouth, and pounced directly on the caiman on the raft.
With just one bite, he bit the whole one and brought it straight into the water.
Its body slapped on the raft, directly pressing half of the raft into the water.
Bell and Tang Hao shook for a while, and almost fell directly into the water.
Fortunately, the two of them reacted quickly enough and lay directly on the bamboo raft.
At the other end of the raft, the body of the behemoth slowly glides over the bamboo raft.
That body is almost as thick as a human waist, and its length looks like it is seven or eight meters long.
Anacones!
Adult Python!
Giant Adult Python!
Bell was nervous like never before, and cold sweat was on his forehead.
The giant anacon is the absolute king of the Amazon, and no creature is his opponent.
A forest python of this size, swimming into the water, even if it is a group of caimans, it is estimated that it will only be able to escape in four directions.
Compared to the python in the Python Plague, this is not too big.
When the snake returned to the water, the surface of the water returned to calm.
But now no one is sure whether the calm under the surface of the water is really calm.
There was also a dead caiman on the raft.
Tang Hao and Bell stood up cautiously, but they didn't dare to do anything.
Tang Hao turned his head and saw Bell looking up at the photography team in the distance.
The camera team over there also knew the seriousness of the situation and was ready to call the helicopter directly to come over for first aid.
But their helicopter was at least half an hour away from here, and it was really attacked by the forest snakes, and it was too late to come and collect the corpses.
Bell looked back at Tang Hao, and they could feel nervousness and even panic in each other's eyes.
Tang Hao's heart was also beating violently at this time.
The description of the text, or the story of Bell, is not as good as what you have seen with your own eyes.
Such a behemoth is right in front of his eyes, just under this surface of the water in front of him.
Humanity seems incomparably small in front of it.
After stabilizing their emotions, Tang Hao and Bell looked at the caiman on the bamboo raft almost at the same time.
Clearly, the caiman they brought out of the swamp became their biggest threat.
Bell motioned for Tang Hao not to move, and then slowly moved two steps forward, ready to throw the caiman away.
But just then, an undercurrent came under the water.
"Bang!"
With a loud bang, their bamboo rafts were all blown away.
The bamboo raft is tied together with balsa wood and vines, and the vines are soaked in water and swelled, and the tightness has dropped a lot.
"Poof!
Bell and Tang Hao were thrown high into the air, and then fell into the water one after another.
This time, the live broadcast room, including the people of Bell's photography team, exploded directly.
Tang Hao faced the jaguar, and the team encountered a group of caimans, which were all dangerous, but those were not comparable to the situation in front of them.
In the water, the forest snake is the absolute king.
And Tang Hao and Bell didn't have any equipment on them.
Bell and Tang Hao surfaced one after another, and the two of them glanced at each other, and without any communication, they both swam towards the shore at the same time.
Bell is a former special forces soldier and now an explorer, swimming is what he is best at, Tang Hao naturally needless to say, the two of them are swimming towards the shore at a speed that is more than twice that of ordinary people.
But at this moment, Bell's body was stunned, his expression changed, and then he followed with a wave of his hands, and the whole person was directly taken off the water.
Worst!
Tang Hao didn't think about anything, and turned around and dived directly into the water.
Because it's so close to the coastline, the water already has a certain depth and the surface is not so muddy.
After diving underwater, Tang Hao also saw the underwater situation.
The giant snake is a giant in the water, and at this time he bit Bell's right leg and was dragging it underwater, at the same time, its body was rapidly shrinking, ready to strangle Bell to death.
Bell was experienced at this time, his whole body was shrunk into a ball, and the dagger was directly inserted into the head of the forest snake, but it was clear that he could not get out of it until he posed a well-known threat to the forest snake.
Seeing that he was about to die in the belly of the snake.
At this time, the waterproof cameras in their hands were still on, and the audience was really frightened when they saw this scene.
Especially in front of Tang Hao's camera, the python that was about to curl up into a ball under the water looked like a small mountain, and it felt like a real apocalypse.
