Are You Telling An Eight-Year-Old To Survive In The Wilderness? Chapter 128 – Black Widow

Time passed slowly.

Bell also felt vaguely exhausted.

Wiping the sweat from his forehead, Bell said, “We have to move faster.”

“Everyone knows that the higher the altitude, the lower the temperature.

For every 1,000 meters higher, the temperature would drop by 0.6 degrees.

The mountain we are climbing is at least 1200 meters tall.

At the top of the mountain, the temperature will be a pitiful five degrees Celsius. At night, it will drop further.”

“To be honest, I don’t want to spend the night in this temperature.”

Bell did not dare to stop moving.

However, he suddenly realized something and stopped. He looked ahead.

The audience in the live-stream was also puzzled when they saw Bell stop.

The camera followed Bell’s gaze.

Not far ahead, on a bush, there were two branches with spiderwebs.

At the top was a thumb-sized black spider, and there were some dark red patterns on its back.

Just the sight made one feel uncomfortable.

They subconsciously wanted to hide further away.

Bell carefully moved closer to get a clearer picture.

“Everyone, do you see this? This is a very dangerous redback spider. Perhaps you might not be familiar with this name, but you should be familiar with its other name.

That is the black widow.”

Hearing this familiar name, the audience in the live-stream exploded.

They had been a little puzzled. They had never heard of a redback spider. How venomous could it be?

But now that they knew this spider’s name, no one dared to look down on this little guy.

“So this is the black widow.”

“Host, it’s better to stay away. I heard that this thing is very venomous. It’s difficult to treat even if you have an antidote.”

Some fans began to worry.

Bell did not pay attention to the audience’s comments. Instead, he continued to explain the habits of the black widow.

“I believe everyone has heard of this black widow spider. Actually, this familiar name is its nickname. Its original name is the redback spider. The reason why it has this nickname is mainly because this spider will eat the male spider when mating.”

“These spiders are very ferocious. When there is no food, they will choose to eat their own kind.”

“Moreover, its venom is very strong and can kill people.”

“When you are bitten by the redback spider, the first symptom is painful swelling around the bite. At this moment, it means that the venom has begun to spread in your body. Then, you will begin to have a fever, vomiting, and even shock. If you don’t choose to deal with it in time, the possibility of your death will increase greatly.”

Hearing that this small spider was so dangerous, even through the screen, everyone had goosebumps.

“Alright, let’s not provoke it. Let’s continue moving.”

After discovering such a dangerous creature, Bell did not dare to be careless.

Bell was not slow. In a plain forest, a thousand meters would take less than half an hour.

However, he was hiking now, so the time taken increased exponentially.

In the end, as Bell had expected, it took three hours to reach the top.

Standing on the mountaintop, feeling the cold wind, Bell felt his mind clear.

The live broadcast equipment also reflected the scene in front of Bell’s eyes to the audience.

In front of Bell was an endless mountain range.

Looking around, Bell pointed in a direction.

“That mountain range looks relatively flat. This can save us a lot of energy.”

“The average width of this large watershed can reach 240 kilometers.

This also determines that we cannot not travel in a straight line.

The mountains are too high and some places are too steep, so we have to choose a relatively easier path.

Even if we have to take a longer detour.

If I’m not wrong, we will be able to walk out of this mountain range in about five days.

Of course, this is an optimistic estimate.”

Bell smiled and explained to the audience in the live-stream.

“To be honest, this is the greatest challenge I’ve ever faced.

In such an environment, the slightest mistake could result in death.

I haven’t married yet.

I have to be extra careful. ”

Seeing Bell’s expression, the audience in the live-stream hooted again.

“Scarlett Johansson is here after hearing the news!”

“Host, do you want to know about child marriage? I can give you the contact details.”

Seeing the atmosphere become lively, Bell stopped joking.

It was just a casual comment.

After confirming his survival route, Bell did not dare to delay and carefully descended the mountain.

Compared to going up the mountain, going down the mountain was much faster. At least it would not take three hours like before.

But this did not mean that it was easier to leave the mountain.

On the contrary, because of the steepness, sometimes tripping over a small stone could take one’s life.

Bell could only carefully move. Fortunately, it was a safe trip.

In the end, Bell returned to the flatland. He was relieved to see that the terrain was no longer steep.

This was a shady area among the mountain range. It was rarely illuminated by the sunlight, so the vegetation was not dense.

There were mostly weeds which were not picky with the environment.

Perhaps in other environments, this situation was very bad, but it also provided some convenience for Bell.

Bell kept moving forward.

Soon, he stopped at the foot of a mountain. There was a slope ahead.

The slope was filled with rocks.

Bell shrugged.

“Alright, it’s another round of obstacles.

Now, everyone can see that there are no trees around, so it is definitely impossible to rely on external items to advance.

However, I can teach everyone a new method today.

This approach has been widely used in various countries’ military history.

It can fully display the strength of the human muscles.

Although the efficiency is lower than the pole jump method, it is easy to use.

It’s a good choice in this situation. ”
