Chapter 255: Probability
After doing all this, Bell pointed at the broken wooden sticks and said, “This wooden stick is in a broken state. As long as you touch the supported rock gently, it will immediately collapse.”
“This stone is not light. Although it can’t kill the animals that fall into the trap immediately, it can still suppress them and prevent them from escaping.
What we need to do now is to install a bait and trigger. ”
The triggering device that Bell mentioned was not as complicated as the audience had imagined. Instead, it was very simple.
The principle of many traps in the wilderness could be understood with a glance, and one could learn it. However, the key was to know how to adapt and use these traps flexibly.
Bell tied a thin stick to one of the wooden sticks.
Then, he stabbed the palm fruit into the small stick.
He reassembled the wooden sticks and held the rock.
Bell pointed at the palm tree and smiled. “How is it? Isn’t it very simple? Actually, even without tools, it’s not that difficult to make a trap.
Most of the time, some laymen would over-complicate this matter.
In wilderness survival, you have to do everything in a simple and efficient way to conserve your energy and save time.
In any case, the trap is completed. As for whether there is a prey, it will depend on luck.
We shouldn’t waste too much energy on such a gamble. It’s not worth it. ”
Bell spread his hands.
The audience in the live-stream laughed.
“Of course, it depends on the situation. If your trap can capture the prey with certainty, take my words as a fart.”
After making a trap, Bell stood up again and began to search for the next spot to place a trap.
“We need to create a few more traps, because the more traps there are, the higher the chances of catching prey.”
“It’s like opening treasure chests. The more treasure chests there are, the higher the chances of obtaining good things.
Of course, we are not counting luck and misfortune here. ”
Soon, Bell found two more stone slabs and made two more traps.
Wiping the soil from his hands, Bell returned to the shelter in peace.
In ten minutes at most, this rainforest would be swallowed by darkness.
At this moment, Bell was squatting beside his shelter and pointing the camera at the dead leaves on the ground.
On a dead leaf, there was a leech less than two centimeters long that was slowly crawling.
As if sensing Bell’s approach, the leech raised its head and squirmed in Bell’s direction.
“Everyone, do you see this? This is one of the reasons why I’m unwilling to sleep on the ground.
There are an uncountable number of such leeches in this rainforest.
They are even more annoying than mosquitoes.
When the rainy season arrives, they hide under the dead leaves. Once an animal passes by, they will stick to it and start feeding.
They will only fall off when they can’t absorb anymore.”
Bell grabbed the leech.
Sensing the food, the leech stuck out its head and tried to bite Bell’s palm.
But Bell had experienced so much wilderness survival that his palms were already covered in calluses.
Faced with the thick cuticle, the leech could only try harder, but it could not suck anything.
It could only test if there was any other place to eat.
“Do you see this? You won’t feel pain when they bite you.
“When they bite their prey, they will release an anticoagulant that will make your wound bleed continuously.”
“A research team came to the Amazon rainforest to investigate.
Because they had no experience, they pitched their tents on the ground. When they woke up the next day, they realized that there were at least ten leeches of different sizes attached to their bodies.
After a night of feeding, the leeches had already increased to the size of a baby’s fist. Everyone had lost about 800 milliliters of blood. ”
“We can’t even reach this number when our blood is drawn.”
Bell threw the leech away in disgust.
“Of course, their harm is far more than just blood loss.
Once you are bitten by these guys, you will be easily infected by bacteria and parasites while bleeding.
This is not nonsense, but someone has experienced it themselves in the past.
Walking in the swamp, the person was bitten by a leech and blood flukes entered his body through the wound.
By the time he realized something was wrong and returned to check his body, he was already in the late stage of the schistosomiasis. ”
Thinking of that scene, Bell felt a chill.
After every wilderness survival show, Bell would go do a full body checkup to prevent such a situation from happening to his body.
He did not want to find a large number of disgusting insects living in his body one day.
Lying in the shelter, Bell heaved a sigh of relief.
“To be honest, I feel that this rainforest is not friendly to me.
Today is the third day since we came here, but it made me realize what it means to feel like a day passing by like a year.
Every second here is so dangerous that I have to be in a fully tense state.
If possible, I will definitely not come here a second time.”
“I’ve already said that belief in survival is very important.
When your body is exhausted, belief is the only motivation to continue walking.
The ones who are supporting me are my friends from faraway.
Every time I experience life and death, I will think of them when I lie down to rest. This will rekindle my fighting spirit. ”
The audience in the live-stream also revealed curious expressions.
“Haha, the word friends is very clever.”
“Sigh, Bell is still young, but he already has so many ‘good friends’.”
“Previous poster, are you envious?”
Seeing the people in the live-stream complain about him, Bell smiled.
He did not say much.
In the wilderness, loneliness was a huge enemy.
Sometimes, it was a way to relax by watching the comments in the live-stream.
However, there was a more relaxed way.
“Alright, everyone, today’s live broadcast will end here. I’ll see you tomorrow. I’m going to rest now.”
