n

nBell was surprised to see this. He did not expect the butterflies to approach him.

n

nAfter careful observation, Bell realized that the two butterflies were sucking his sweat.

n

nBell zoomed in.

n

n“Can you see this? These bright goddess butterflies are drinking my sweat.

n

nThe Amazon rainforest itself is a place that lacks salt.

n

nButterflies also need to replenish their salt. Many times, they fly to a turtle’s head to drink its tears.

n

nThe turtle’s tears contain salt and minerals. ”

n

nAt this point, Bell was stunned for a moment. He seemed to have thought of something and looked at the place where the two butterflies had stopped.

n

nThe two bright goddess butterflies were shocked and quickly flew away.

n

nBell ignored them and looked at a dead branch.

n

nA brown tortoise head gradually appeared on the dead leaf.

n

nNo wonder the two bright goddess butterflies had been staying here.

n

nBell’s eyes and thoughts were attracted to the shining bright goddess butterflies, so he was not able to notice it.

n

nFortunately, it was not too late.

n

nThis should be a tortoise.

n

nNormally, tortoises were not as active as sea turtles. Most of the time, they would stay in one place for many days without moving.

n

nThe skin color of the tortoise blended perfectly with the surrounding dead leaves.

n

nEven Bell did not notice this exquisite disguise.

n

nIf not for these two butterflies, he would not have known even if he walked over.

n

nThe tortoise did not make any movement even when seeing Bell approach it.

n

nThis tortoise was very confident in its disguise.

n

nBell bent down and grabbed the tortoise’s shell, lifting it out.

n

nThis tortoise was not big, only about 30 centimeters, but it looked very thick.

n

nHe observed the patterns on the tortoise’s back and limbs.

n

n“Look, this is a red-footed tortoise.

n

nThere are red spots on its legs, which is the reason for its name.

n

nThis type of tortoise usually eats fallen fruits.

n

nThey also feed on some rotten meat.

n

nHowever, this guy is not too lucky because he is going to be my food. ”

n

nAs if sensing that it was in danger, the red-footed tortoise retracted its head and limbs into its shell.

n

nBut Bell did not plan to let it go.

n

nHe took out the dagger from his waist and stabbed it into its head.

n

nThe fatal blow killed the tortoise without letting it suffer much pain.

n

nPutting away the dagger, Bell raised the red-footed tortoise and opened his mouth, drinking the blood that flowed out.

n

nA red-footed tortoise did not have much blood.

n

nThe flowing blood stopped very fast.

n

n“The taste is not good. If not for the fact that it can replenish salt and minerals, I probably would not have drank this.”

n

nTortoise meat was high in quality and fat. It could be said to be a great food in the wilderness.

n

nHowever, a tortoise usually stayed in one place and did not move.

n

nThey also carried many parasites on their body.

n

nTherefore, Bell felt that it was better to cook it first.

n

nHe stuffed the dead red-footed tortoise into his backpack and set off again.

n

nIt was not raining today, and Bell hoped it would not rain. Otherwise, his wound would be drenched again.

n

nPerhaps because the two bright goddess butterflies brought him luck, Bell found a small bamboo forest not long after.

n

nThis made Bell overjoyed.

n

nHe quickly walked forward and knocked the bamboo with his dagger.

n

nAfter some probing, he finally heard a muffled sound from a bamboo.

n

nThose who had watched Bell’s streams knew what was going on.

n

nBell cut a hole in the bamboo, and clear water surged out.

n

nBell quickly went forward and drank the water.

n

nThis bamboo was very thick and contained a lot of water.

n

nAfter drinking the water, Bell breathed in relief.

n

n“This feels really good.

n

nPerhaps I have become lucky because I saw those two bright goddess butterflies.

n

nNow, there is food and water. ”

n

nIn the Amazon rainforest, bamboo usually did not grow tall.

n

nThe main reason was that they grew under tall trees and could not receive enough sunlight every day.

n

nHowever, there was enough water here for them to grow.

n

nThe excess water was stored in the bamboo.

n

nIt was for the dry season.

n

nBell put down his backpack and began to collect the dried bamboo on the ground.

n

nSoon, more than ten bamboos were gathered in front of Bell.

n

nBell cut the bamboo to the length of an arm.

n

n“I remember telling everyone in Australia that bamboo is the most valuable plant to survivalists in the wilderness.

n

nIn this environment, only plants like bamboo can help us start a fire.

n

nLooks like we will be able to eat hot food soon.

n

nBut we have to be fast because this is the rainforest after all. Who knows when it will rain.

n

nWe have to cook this red-footed tortoise and eat it before it rains.”

n

nDuring the rainy season, it was a great blessing to be able to eat hot food in the tropical rainforest.

n

nBell was in a good mood, and his actions were much faster.

n

nHe kept waving the dagger in his hand, and the bamboo sticks were thrown to the ground.

n

nSoon, a good amount of bamboo shavings and sticks were gathered.

n

nHe stepped on half a bamboo plank and quickly used the bowstring method to make a fire.

n

nThe efficiency was very high. After a while, the black smoke had already squeezed out of the groove.

n

nSeeing this, Bell stopped and gathered the bamboo dust and shavings, carefully blowing on it.

n

n“You have to do it slowly. There is too much humidity here. It will only take a short while for the fire materials to become wet. At that time, it will be even more difficult to start a fire.”

n

nBell did not stop while talking. Thick smoke rose from the shavings, and Bell choked until tears flowed out of his eyes.

n

nFortunately, his effort paid off.

n

nThe fire became stable and continued to grow strong.

n

nSeeing this, Bell was finally relieved.

n

nHe quickly took out the red-footed tortoise and placed it on the fire.

n

nThe thick tortoise shell could prevent the meat from being burnt. He only had to wait for half an hour or so before it was cooked.

n

nSitting beside the fire, Bell added a few bamboo sticks from time to time.

n

nHe was very satisfied.
