Chapter 240 - Bright Goddess Butterfly
n
n
n
n“With these aloe vera and the body’s immunity power, we don’t have to worry about infection.
n
nNow that the most dangerous thing has been resolved, we have to hurry up.
n
nWe need to find a high ground before it gets dark. ”
n
nAs Bell continued to enter deep in the rainforest, there were more dead leaves under his feet. Stepping on them was like stepping on a soft bed.
n
nBut this did not relax Bell’s mind. Instead, it made him even more vigilant.
n
nIn the tropical rainforest, many animals liked to hide in dead leaves to ambush their prey.
n
nFor example, coral snakes and palm vipers.
n
nThese two were famous venomous snakes in Australia.
n
nOnce a person was bitten by a coral snake, a large amount of antiserum would be required to treat it.
n
nThis snake was small and had colorful rings on its body.
n
nEven after being treated, there was a high chance of permanent damage to the respiratory tract.
n
nBell walked until noon before slowly stopping.
n
nThe sunlight was dazzling. It did not feel like the rainy season at all. Instead, it felt like a dry desert.
n
nAlong the way, Bell drank a lot of fresh water.
n
nThe fresh water was the rain that accumulated on the leaves last night.
n
nLeaning against a tree stump, Bell wiped the sweat from his forehead.
n
nHe breathed out in relief and relaxed.
n
n“I believe most of you have tried saunas.
n
nThe environment I am in now feels like a huge sauna.
n
nIt is already getting difficult to breathe.
n
nI am sweating profusely every second.
n
nThis will cause an imbalance in electrolytes.
n
nDrinking only water cannot resolve this predicament.
n
nWe need to replenish salt as well.
n
nBut this is the problem. It is very difficult to obtain salt in the Amazon rainforest. ”
n
nAfter the exhausting morning, Bell felt hungry again.
n
nUnder normal circumstances, hunger meant that the blood sugar had decreased.
n
nBell looked around to see if there was anything that could replenish his nutrients, even insects.
n
nHowever, the outcome was not satisfactory.
n
nAfter looking around, Bell only saw two butterflies.
n
nThis thing would not fill his stomach.
n
nJust as Bell was about to continue walking and searching for some food, he suddenly thought of something.
n
nWait.
n
nSome information flashed through Bell’s mind.
n
nHe looked at the dancing butterflies and gulped.
n
nThis was not an ordinary butterfly.
n
nThis was like gold in Bell’s eyes.
n
nBright goddess butterfly.
n
nHow rare was it?
n
nTo put it simply, even a giant panda would be behind it.
n
nThis butterfly only lived in the tropics.
n
nFor now, only dozens of them were still alive in the Amazon rainforest.
n
nBell remembered seeing a piece of news on the Internet before he was reborn.
n
nThere was a foreign tycoon who offered a million USD reward to capture a bright goddess butterfly.
n
nHowever, he was mocked by a group of people who said that this bit of money was not enough to obtain one.
n
nAlthough this butterfly could be raised, the domesticated ones were inferior to wild ones.
n
nThere were only twenty or so pure bright goddess butterflies.
n
nBell did not approach rashly.
n
nHe was not a businessman and was not short of money. It was already his honor to encounter such a rare creature at such a close distance.
n
nHe carefully zoomed in at the two bright goddess butterflies.
n
nBell gestured to keep quiet.
n
n“Do you see these two butterflies? These are bright goddess butterflies.
n
nTheir name came due to their dazzling wings.
n
nUnder the sunlight, they are like the legendary Goddess of Light.
n
nThere are only about twenty or so of these butterflies left in the world. We’re really lucky to encounter two here today. ”
n
nThe audience in the live-stream was also interested.
n
n“Bright goddess butterfly, this name is really gorgeous.”
n
n“Wow, this thing is indeed beautiful. Where can I buy it?”
n
n“Host, how much protein can this thing replenish?”
n
n“Previous poster, are you crazy? Do you know how rare this thing is?”
n
n“Boss, please explain to us!”
n
n“Bright goddess butterfly, genus Morpho.
n
nSo far, there are about twenty in the world.
n
nEvery wild, live bright goddess butterfly is worth 18 million USD in the black market, and there is no supply.
n
nEven the dead specimens are priced at hundreds of thousands. ”
n
n“F*ck! Is this a joke?!”
n
n“Brothers, let’s not talk anymore. I’m going to the Amazon rainforest. Let’s see if I’m rich or poor when I return.”
n
n“What are you waiting for, Bell? This is tens of millions of dollars!”
n
nThe audience in the live-stream could not help but feel anxious when they saw that Bell did not move.
n
nBell only smiled.
n
n“Alright, stop joking. Firstly, I’m not a businessman. There’s no need for me to collect such a rare wild species for money.
n
nIn addition, wild bright goddess butterflies are protected by the law. Buying and selling it will be considered a crime. I don’t want to go to jail after this show.”
n
nThe audience could not help but be moved.
n
nThis was more than ten million USD, but Bell could still hold back his desire.
n
nMany people asked themselves if they could do it.
n
n“Money is not omnipotent.
n
nThere are indeed many tycoons who want to buy a bright goddess butterfly.
n
nBut in fact, they could not even buy a specimen.
n
nBut now, we can observe such rare creatures at such a close distance. It’s already a great honor. ”
n
nBell fed everyone a bowl of chicken soup.
n
nBut after hearing Bell’s words, not only were they not touched, they even became vigilant.
n
nAccording to Bell’s usual style, after a round of chicken soup, something unexpected would usually follow.
n
nThis caused them to have resistance. As soon as Bell spoke, everyone became vigilant.
n
nIn fact, they were right.
n
nBell was indeed trying to tease them.
n
nBut seeing that these guys were already vigilant, Bell felt bored and gave up.
n
nJust as Bell was thinking, the two butterflies flapped their wings and flew towards him, landing on his arms.
