nThe audience in the live-stream became nervous.

nThe seemingly harmless snake was actually so venomous.

nKnowing that this snake was the second most venomous snake in the world, everyone was fearful.

nAt the same time, they were worried for Bell.

nOn the screen, Bell stood still and did not dare to move.

nHe was afraid of agitating this guy.

n“Eastern brown snake. Ranked second in terms of toxic snakes in the world, second only to the inland taipan snakes.

nThis kind of venomous snake is widely distributed in various regions. Because of this, the number of people who have died from the venom of eastern brown snakes is the highest. ”

n“This eastern brown snake in front of us has not even fully grown.

nIt can grow up to nearly three meters.

nAt the same time, it is also a natural enemy of the inland taipan.

nSmaller taipan snakes are usually unable to escape the fate of being eaten when they encounter eastern brown snakes.

nWe have to be careful not to provoke it.

nTypically, snakes will attack humans only when they are agitated or frightened.

nWhen they confirm that you are not a danger, they will naturally choose to leave.”

nBell carefully retreated.

nHis actions were as slow as possible, not making too much noise.

nAmong the snakes in the entire Australian continent, the overlord position of the eastern brown snake was unquestionable.

nNot only did it have a body that could crush other snakes, but it also had lethal venom.

nIn fact, they even ate other snakes.

nVery few creatures had the strength to provoke this dangerous guy.

nAs Bell kept retreating, the eastern brown snake seemed to feel that the danger was gradually resolved. It stopped looking at Bell and entered the grass again.

nThe dangerous snake retreated, and Bell couldn’t help but sigh in relief.

nSeeing that the danger was over, the audience also heaved a sigh of relief.

n“F*ck, I was really shocked.”

n“The program almost ended early.”

n“I think that the venomous snake was more flustered.”

n“Fortunately, it ran fast; otherwise, Bell would have had an extra meal tonight.”

n“Eastern brown snake: Running after showing off. How exciting.”

nIn the live-stream, various comments kept floating past.

nHowever, Bell did not let down his guard because of the teasing of the people in the live-stream.

nThe eastern brown snake had appeared in this area.

nIn other words, he had arrived at the territory of these venomous snakes and beasts.

nHe had to focus.

nSince there was one, another might appear too.

nEastern brown snakes were not small, and their fangs were very large.

nWhen they bite, their fangs would stab into the internal parts of the muscle tissue. Even with serum, if it was not injected in a short time, the person would be in great danger.

nThis was also the reason why the mortality rate of their bites was so high.

nAlthough the mortality rate of snake bites was directly related to their toxicity, it was not the whole reason.

nFor example, although the inland taipan snake was recognized as the most venomous snake in the world, it was small in size and had short fangs.

nEven if the prey was bitten, there would not be much venom released. Fatal symptoms would only show after 15 to 30 minutes.

nWhen the danger to humans was compared, the king cobra was the greatest threat.

nIn terms of toxicity, the king cobra was far less venomous than inland taipan.

nBut the main point was that the king cobra was a lot bigger and had longer fangs.

nEvery time it bit its prey, the king cobra could inject over 500 milligrams of venom into its prey. This venom was enough to kill a person within 5 minutes.

nIt was also because of this that humans were more familiar with the name of king cobra because its danger to humans was the greatest among all the snakes.

nHe picked up a wooden stick and trimmed it with a dagger.

nHe used the stick to push aside the grass before moving forward.

nAfter all, what had happened earlier had given him a wake-up call.

nThree meters was enough for that snake to attack.

nFortunately, after encountering the eastern brown snake, Bell did not encounter other venomous snakes.

nHis top priority now was to cool his body.

nThe best way was to find a body of water.

nWhether it was a stream or a pool, it could restore his body temperature to normal.

nSuddenly, Bell’s eyes lit up.

nNot far in front of him was a fruit tree that was not tall.

nBell quickly walked forward.

nThe tree was less than four meters tall.

nThere were many thumb-sized fruits on the tree. Bell took one and showed it to the camera.

n“Look what I found.

nThis is a macadamia which belongs to the flowering plant family Proteaceae.

nMacadamia nuts are different from other fruits. Its fruits are rich in oil and proteins.

nMost importantly, these things don’t spoil easily.

n“Since we’ve discovered it, we naturally can’t miss it. We have to pick as much as possible to use as our food for the next few days.”

nBell did not waste any time. He climbed up the tree trunk. The tree was not tall, so he climbed it in a few steps.

nSitting on a thick tree branch, Bell reached out and plucked a macadamia nut.

nThese nuts were slightly larger than the longan, and their skin was a common green.

nAfter cutting the brown shell open with the dagger, the exposed white part was the edible fruit.

nBell ate the fruit, but it was not as sweet as ordinary fruits.

nIn comparison, this thing was a little oily.

n“I think it might be because these nuts are not completely ripe, so there is no special taste, but the bite just now felt like I had bitten a blob of flour soaked in oil.

nFortunately, it can provide me with enough proteins.

nOtherwise, I really don’t want to eat this. ”

nBell explained carefully to the audience in the live-stream.

nHowever, just as he was about to continue plucking the fruits, a few comments in the live-stream attracted Bell’s attention.

n“Host, run quickly. There’s a snake above your head.”

n“Dodge, it’s dangerous!”

nSeeing these comments, Bell realized that something was wrong.

nHe turned his head carefully and looked out of the corner of his eye.

nThere was really a meter-long snake coiled less than a meter above his head.
