Chapter 264 - River Again!

n

nThe next morning, Bell shook his head and sat up in the hammock.

n

nHe stretched and walked down the tree along the vines.

n

nNow that his stats had increased, he could choose to jump down from it.

n

nBut to be safe, Bell decided to follow his previous routine and behave like before.

n

nAfter all, if he did not control himself well, he might break a few bones.

n

nWith the principle that he would not die unless he courted death, Bell chose to follow the stable method.

n

nThere was no flood last night unlike what he had expected.

n

nHowever, the rain still continued to fall.

n

nAt this moment, there was a layer of water about five centimeters deep accumulated on the ground.

n

nBecause the lucky draw yesterday was at night, Bell did not have time to adapt to the strength of his body. He was going to test and adapt to his strength now.

n

nAlthough a large increase in attributes was a good thing, it also had some side effects.

n

nOne of them was that he lost perfect control of his body.

n

nThis was not a good thing. In the wilderness, when fighting with wild beasts, every minute and second had to be calculated accurately.

n

nIf he was not careful, he might suffer terrifying injuries.

n

nTherefore, he had to have precise judgment.

n

nOnly after perfectly grasping his strength could he know how fast he could run, how high he could jump, and how strong his punches were.

n

nWhat was the maximum force he could release? These were very important.

n

nThis determined the success rate of his hunt or escape.

n

nAfter an hour, Bell finally figured out his attributes.

n

nHe already knew his approximate limits, but it would take some time for him to fully control his body.

n

nThis cycle could be long or short, but Bell felt that he should be able to complete this cycle in a few days.

n

nBecause he had drawn the Extraordinary Physique skill last night, after a night of recovery, the itch on the back of his neck was very obvious.

n

nIf nothing went wrong, the injury on the back of his neck would heal by tomorrow.

n

nAs for the bone fracture on the shoulder blade, it was a bone injury after all and could not recover so quickly.

n

nThe Extraordinary Physique could speed up his recovery to a certain extent, but it did not give instant restoration.

n

nBones needed to absorb the calcium and collagen in the human body to slowly recover from fractures.

n

nThe only thing his Extraordinary Physique could do was shorten his recovery time.

n

nThe most important thing was Bell’s replenishment of calcium and collagen.

n

nIf Bell did not replenish enough calcium and collagen, even the Extraordinary Physique would not be able to do anything.

n

nHe touched his stomach and felt that the gastric acid was already surging due to hunger.

n

nOpening the live-stream, a large number of the audience instantly rushed in.

n

nLooking at the camera in the live-stream, Bell smiled.

n

n“Friends, we have been in the Amazon rainforest for five days.

n

nWe are getting closer and closer to civilization, but we have to be more vigilant.

n

nLet’s set off again.”

n

nStepping on the puddles, Bell began to move in the direction he had set, which was Manaus city.

n

nAlong the way, the hunger in his stomach kept torturing him.

n

nIt reminded him to replenish his food as soon as possible.

n

nBell also wanted to find something to eat, but there was nothing edible in his surroundings.

n

nThe further he walked, the lower the terrain became.

n

nAt the same time, the water on the ground became deeper and deeper.

n

nThe ground was almost filled with water, and the rainforest had already become a swamp.

n

nAn hour later, the water in the rainforest had already reached Bell’s waist.

n

nFrom the looks of it, the Amazon River should be not far away.

n

nAs the water level rose, the river water spread to both sides.

n

nThis was what caused this swamp.

n

nBell walked slowly, his nerves tense.

n

nAfter all, no one knew what was hidden in this turbid water.

n

nThe water level began to rise. At this moment, Bell felt something swim past his legs.

n

nWith that touch, Bell was certain that it was definitely not wood, but a living creature. It was not small.

n

nWith this judgment, Bell did not dare to act rashly.

n

nBell quickly gestured for the audience to keep quiet and stood still.

n

nHe frowned and said, “Something seemed to have touched my leg just now. I can’t be sure what it is yet. I just hope it’s not an electric eel or a green anaconda.”

n

nBell did not want to experience the feeling of being electrocuted by the electric eel again.

n

nUnder normal circumstances, the electric eel would only release electric shocks when it was preyed on and sensed danger.

n

nThe reason why Bell stood still was to not provoke the creature in the water. He stood there for nearly ten minutes.

n

nDuring this period, Bell did not feel anything touch his leg and heaved a sigh of relief.

n

nHe was relieved and continued moving forward.

n

nFrom time to time, some fallen leaves or floating wood would brush past him.

n

nAfter walking for about half an hour, the water level was almost at Bell’s chest.

n

nThis half an hour journey was very difficult.

n

nIt was not easy to walk in this rainforest.

n

nOccasionally, some protruding roots or floating wood would block his path.

n

nNow that his vision was blocked by the turbid river water, it was like feeling his way forward in the night.

n

nHolding a tree, Bell frowned and said, “I think we should make a raft. If we continue like this, our speed will be too slow. Most importantly, it will be very dangerous. No one knows what is underwater.”

n

nNot far ahead was the Amazon River.

n

nIt was clearly unrealistic to swim over like this.

n

nBut there was a problem now. It was too difficult to make a raft on this water.

n

nMoreover, when he mentioned making the raft, Bell remembered his previous encounters.

n

nThe people in the live-stream smiled meaningfully when they heard that Bell was planning to build another raft.

n

n“Hahaha, I admire Bell’s temper.”

n

n“Come, let us witness Bell’s performance.”

n

n“A black stain in ship building history, losing every time.”

n

n“It hasn’t even begun, but I feel like the outcome is already decided.”

n

n“I didn’t believe in metaphysics in the past, but after seeing Bell, I believed it again.”
