Chapter 245 - Numb, Electrified
n
n
n
nMany people in the live-stream had heard of the electric eel, but they had never seen it with their own eyes.
n
nEveryone was curious about this mysterious creature that could release electricity. They sent comments on the screen, indicating for Bell to capture it quickly.
n
n“Bell, today’s dinner is it!”
n
n“It can discharge electricity. Just the thought of it is exciting.”
n
n“Haha, why did I think of something else?”
n
n“What are you talking about? Why don’t I understand?”
n
n“Bell, don’t let it escape.
n
n“Speaking of which, the feeling of being electrocuted is quite comfortable.
n
nI have to touch the electric plug every day before I go to work. It’s numbing. If I don’t have electricity for a day, I will feel uncomfortable. ”
n
n“F*ck, the previous poster is awesome!”
n
n“F*ck, compared to you guys, I find myself too weak.”
n
nBell looked at the comments in the live-stream, especially the guy who liked to electrocute himself every day. The corners of his mouth twitched.
n
nIf it were ordinary household electricity, their lives would not be in danger.
n
nHowever, it will cause a large number of cells in the body to die, especially white blood cells. It will also affect the heart over time.
n
nThe immunity of the human body was directly related to white blood cells.
n
nIf he was electrocuted every day, the white blood cells in his body would decrease rapidly, making him weak and greatly reducing his resistance to viruses and bacteria.
n
nWhether this person was telling the truth or not, Bell had to remind him.
n
n“I just saw a fan say that he liked to electrocute himself every day. Whether it’s true or not, I have to remind everyone that this is very harmful to the body. Don’t court death.”
n
nWith that, Bell turned and left the swamp.
n
nThe people in the live-stream thought that Bell had given up, but they were also puzzled. Bell did not go to the tree hole but searched the surroundings.
n
nBell explained, “When the natives catch electric eels, they use another method as well.
n
nThey would crush the roots of the derris alborubra and drip the liquid into the water.
n
nThe juice of the derris alborubra shrub contains a substance called rotenone.
n
nThis is a poisonous substance. It is harmful to aquatic creatures and insects, but it will not cause harm to mammals. ”
n
n“Rotenone can make fish faint. This is a method used by the local natives to catch electric eels.
n
nWhen the electric eel is unconscious, it can’t release electricity. ”
n
nBell had already begun to search the forest.
n
nDerris alborubra were everywhere in the Amazon rainforest and were not difficult to find.
n
nHowever, right now, the lighting was very poor in the forest.
n
nIt took Bell more than ten minutes to finally find the derris alborubra.
n
nDerris alborubra was very long, and the derris alborubra in front of Bell was like a twisted tree.
n
nBell took out his dagger and cut off a vine as thick as an arm. He raised the vine in his hand to the camera.
n
n“Look, this small piece can poison all the creatures in a twenty-square-meter pond.”
n
nHolding the small piece of vine, Bell walked back to the edge of the swamp.
n
nHe smashed the vine with a tree branch and put it into the swamp.
n
nUnder Bell’s constant stirring, the mud gradually turned pale white.
n
nBell pointed at the water and said, “The rotenone is insoluble in the mud. As long as we wait quietly, we can fish out the unconscious electric eel.”
n
nThe effect of the rotenone was to make the fish unconscious.
n
nThe electric eel was different from other fish.
n
nAlthough the electric eel was closely related to catfish, it needed to come out of the water to breathe periodically.
n
nIn order to not be paralyzed by the rotenone and die in the water, this electric eel could only try its best to crawl out of the mud.
n
nAfter a while, a black electric eel crawled out and climbed ashore.
n
nBell had been waiting for a long time.
n
nHe took the opportunity and grabbed the electric eel.
n
nBell raised the electric eel in his hand and said with a smile.
n
n“Look, it’s this guy. In fact, once we leave the water, this guy will not be so dangerous.
n
nBecause the electric resistance in the water is much lower than the electric eel itself, the discharge would not hurt it.
n
nBut once it was in the air, once the eel discharged, it would first injure itself.
n
nTherefore, we can…”
n
nBefore Bell could finish, he suddenly felt numb.
n
nA strong electric current erupted from the electric eel.
n
nThe numb feeling quickly spread throughout Bell’s body.
n
n800V electric pulses made Bell collapse to the ground.
n
nHis entire body was tense.
n
nFortunately, the ground was covered in thick dead leaves. Otherwise, he would probably have fallen and injured himself.
n
nThe audience in the live-stream was listening to Bell’s explanation. They thought that the eel was really nothing to worry about after being caught.
n
nIn the end, face-slapping happened so quickly.
n
nMany people were stunned and could not react.
n
nInstantly, the audience in the live-stream laughed crazily.
n
n“Hahaha, Bell failed again.”
n
n“Can someone tell me why Bell’s hair is not smoking? I think people who are electrocuted have hair that is smoking, right?”
n
n“This story tells us that people will not die unless they court death.”
n
n“This is too funny, but will you be okay if you are electrocuted by the electric eel?”
n
n“I think Bell should be fine.”
n
n“Previous poster, I doubt it. Don’t you see? Bell is not moving.”
n
n“In short, the situation is very awkward for him.”
n
nAfter lying on the ground for more than ten minutes, Bell finally recovered.
n
nAfter being hit by the electric eel’s electric current, his entire body felt numb and weak.
n
nStruggling to sit up, Bell looked at the electric eel in his hand.
n
nAt this moment, the high temperature caused by the electric current had already killed it.
n
n“Alright, this one is indeed a warrior.”
n
nBell shook his head and perked up.
n
nLogically speaking, eels would not discharge electricity on land.
n
nBecause this would cause them to die first.
n
nBut who would have thought that the eel in his hand would have such a bad temper?
n
nHe had not even done anything, but it had actually killed itself.
n
nHowever, Bell quickly reacted.
n
nHe looked at the pale rotenone floating on the water.
n
nIt seemed like this eel was slow to react because he had placed this thing in the water.
n
nIt should have released the electric current in the water, but because of the paralysis, the current was released on land.
