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. ”
