Chapter 265 - Encounter With the Black Caiman

n

nThinking back to the previous episodes, almost every raft he built would sink.

n

nBell couldn’t help but shiver.

n

nHe did not believe in metaphysics. Of course, that was excluding the times when he needed to lucky draw.

n

nBut after experiencing it a few times, Bell had to admit that the probability of him failing was indeed higher.

n

nThere is a law in psychology called Murphy’s Law.

n

nThe general content was that if you were worried that something would happen, no matter how small the probability was, it might become a reality.

n

nBell seemed to have fallen into this law.

n

nWith the previous experiences, he no longer had much confidence in the raft.

n

nWas the probability of the raft sinking into the water high? It was actually not high.

n

nIt could even be said to be infinitely close to zero.

n

nBut in Murphy’s Law, no matter how small the probability was, as long as it was greater than zero, it would happen.

n

nBell shook his head.

n

nForget it, it was better to play it safe.

n

nJust as Bell was about to give up, a thick piece of driftwood slowly floated past him.

n

nSeeing this floating wood, Bell’s eyes lit up. He quickly followed and hugged it tightly.

n

nBell realized that it was an Agathis wood.

n

nAgathis trees that could grow so thick were quite rare. Such thick trees could only be found in the Amazon rainforest.

n

nThe Agathis tree that Bell was holding was a meter in diameter and about six meters long.

n

nThe more Bell looked at it, the more satisfied he was.

n

nHe patted the tree trunk and said with a smile.

n

n“Not bad, this Agathis appeared at the right time.”

n

n“I think we can use it to make a canoe.”

n

n“That’s right, you didn’t hear wrongly. It’s not a raft, but a canoe.”

n

nBell emphasized the word.

n

nThe audience was stunned before they reacted.

n

n“Hahaha, Bell is terrified. Bell is actually terrified.”

n

n“It’s over. We won’t be able to watch a good show this time.”

n

nHe ignored the people complaining in the live-stream.

n

nThe Agathis was very light, so even such a thick tree trunk still had enough buoyancy to float on the water.

n

nLooking carefully, Bell realized that the trunk of the Agathis was already showing signs of decay.

n

nThe wood also became very soft.

n

nThis was not a bad thing. At the very least, it was convenient for him to make a canoe.

n

nIt could save him some energy.

n

n“This Agathis is a very good tree. Its wood is light, and it also contains a kind of glue inside the trunk.

n

nThis glue can be waterproof to a certain extent. ”

n

nIt had been more than 6,000 years since the canoe was made.

n

nA good canoe could even travel hundreds of nautical miles.

n

nIn some primitive tribes, canoes were still used.

n

nIt was not difficult to make a simple canoe.

n

nBell only needed to carve a space big enough to accommodate adults in the center of this tree trunk.

n

nBell’s dagger was very sharp and firm.

n

nIn addition, the wood was already a little soft, so it was not difficult to cut it.

n

nIt took Bell less than half an hour to cut out a half-meter wide and one meter long space in the center of the Agathis.

n

nLooking at his work, Bell nodded in satisfaction and carefully climbed in.

n

nSitting in the canoe, Bell realized that it seemed to be tilting to the left.

n

nSeeing this, Bell immediately jumped down.

n

nThis was within his expectations.

n

nIt was reasonable for such a deviation to occur. After all, Bell was only doing it by hand. He did not have any experience or tools, so mistakes were inevitable.

n

nHe had already sensed that the canoe was leaning to the left, so he could maintain his balance by installing another frame.

n

nMost of the time, it was not troublesome to make tools. As long as one thought about it, they would know what to do.

n

nOf course, this mainly tested an individual’s ability.

n

nBell looked around in the water.

n

nHe was searching for some wooden sticks that were suitable to be used as support.

n

nWhen he sat on the canoe earlier, he realized that the canoe tilted very obviously, so the buoyancy requirement for the support was much higher.

n

nSuddenly, Bell saw a bamboo floating on the water not far ahead and was overjoyed.

n

nThe buoyancy of bamboo was one of the best among all plants. It was very suitable to make an outboard frame.

n

nThe water level ahead seemed to be getting deeper.

n

nWhen Bell walked to the bamboo, the water had already reached his chest.

n

nHowever, just as Bell was about to grab the bamboo, water suddenly splashed.

n

nA black figure suddenly jumped out of the water, opened its bloody mouth, and pounced at Bell.

n

nIt was a black caiman that had been hiding here for a long time.

n

nThis black caiman was less than three meters long.

n

nCompared to the ones Bell had encountered before, this one was not a big deal.

n

nIt was unknown how this guy gathered the courage to attack Bell.

n

nFaced with the black caiman pouncing at him, Bell did not panic. Instead, he revealed a trace of excitement.

n

nThe black caiman was indeed dangerous, but the current Bell was not the previous Bell.

n

nIf not for the lucky draw a day ago, it would have been another difficult battle for Bell.

n

nEven if he really defeated this black caiman, he would be injured to some extent.

n

nBut now, Bell’s strength had more than doubled.

n

nWilderness Hunter!

n

nIntimidation!

n

nDrum of War!

n

nWith the help of the Wilderness Hunter skill, Bell’s attribute points instantly exceeded 20.

n

nWith the suppression of the Drum of War and the intimidation effect, the attributes of the black caiman decreased again and again.

n

nThe aggressive black caiman immediately froze.

n

nIts movements slowed.

n

nBell did not retreat. Instead, he took a step forward and took the initiative to meet the black caiman.
