Are You Telling An Eight-Year-Old To Survive In The Wilderness?

Chapter 189 – Rabbiteye Blueberry

In fact, if this little Arctic Fox had not encountered Bell, it would not have lived long in this snowy environment.

After all, without its mother’s care, it was not old enough to hunt.

It was very difficult for such small animals to survive to adulthood in the wild.

On one hand, it was because there were no adult females to take care of them. On the other hand, it was because without protective colors, they were easier to be discovered by their natural enemies.

Arctic foxes were omnivores.

Most of the meat was birds and hares.

When food was scarce, they would also choose to eat some nuts or plant roots to fill their stomachs. Overall, it was relatively easy to feed.

But Bell was not on vacation, but in Wilderness Survival.

It was already very difficult to support himself. He was not very confident in raising the fox.

This little guy could only eat whatever he ate. If it really died, he could only say that this was its fate.

The little guy did not realize that it had been treated as a food reserve by Bell.

Seeing that Bell had no intention of hurting him, it became active.

Arctic foxes were very resistant to the cold.

They could even survive in an environment of -50 °C.

However, that was an adult Arctic fox.

The little guy in front of him was very thin and there didn’t seem to be any fat under its skin.

It could be estimated that its resistance to the cold was not high. It had mostly relied on some berries and grass roots to maintain itself.

A cold wind blew past the little Arctic Fox. It seemed to feel the cold and quickly rubbed against Bell’s chest.

After all, Bell’s chest was warmer.

However, the little guy seemed to notice a warmer place and tried to crawl into Bell’s jacket.

Seeing this, Bell quickly pulled the little guy out.

The little guy revealed a trace of grievance and whimpered at Bell.

It made one’s heart ache.

Bell could only throw the little guy into his backpack.

The backpack was waterproof and had good density, so the temperature was higher.

A small crack appeared to maintain the flow of air.

The little Arctic Fox felt warm and stopped struggling.

It stayed obediently in his backpack.

“Alright, now that we have a small burden, getting food is even more urgent.”

“It’s time to set off.”

Bell extinguished the fire and continued moving.

But this was a makeshift torch after all. After more than ten minutes, the wood burned out and the fire was extinguished.

Bell could only turn on the night vision function in the live-stream. He could not always let the audience watch a black screen.

In fact, as humans continued to grasp technology and leave the wilderness, many of their abilities gradually began to deteriorate.

And night vision was one of them.

Bell also yearned for this ability.

He had been thinking about this. If he could get this ability from the system, it would be of great help to his live broadcast.

He could move easily even in the middle of the night.

However, for now, he still had to probe his way in the dark.

He walked slowly through the forest.

Bell felt his stamina quickly depleting.

In fact, Bell was looking forward to seeing some snow in this forest.

Because this way, he could see more through the reflection of light, and the surrounding environment could be distinguished.

But right now, this was only an extravagant hope.

After walking in the forest for nearly two hours, the sky finally lit up.

Bell heaved a sigh of relief and sat down.

His stamina was greatly exhausted, and even his knees were sore.

Due to the darkness, he had knocked into rocks and dead wood countless times.

He knew that his knees were definitely bruised.

Reserve Food in Bell’s backpack was very quiet.

Bell wondered if this little guy had fallen asleep inside.

Ped and the man’s condition could only be said to be okay.

In fact, in terms of endurance, Bell had a slight advantage over the two of them.

Although he was petite, Bell’s stamina was not lower than the two of them.

Moreover, judging from the thin man’s size, Bell might be stronger.

He took out the canteen and took two sips of water.

The cold water flowed down Bell’s throat and into his stomach. The bone-chilling feeling was unbearable.

But Bell still endured it.

“Alright, everyone, we don’t have much time to waste. Let’s rest for a while.”

Along the way, Bell had been observing his surroundings to see if there was anything edible.

But to his disappointment, he did not find anything to eat.

He did not even find insects.

Just as Bell was about to consider taking out the Reserve Food, a bush suddenly appeared in front of him. It was lush.

What made him excited was that there were many small fruits at the end of the bushes.

This scene made Bell wonder if he had fainted from hunger and was hallucinating.

Bell and the other two quickly walked forward and sized up the bushes.

Logically speaking, only a small portion of berries could not be eaten.

For example, belladonna and Barbados lilies.

But to be safe, Bell perked up and observed the bushes.

Soon, with the help of the top level plant identification ability in his mind, Bell recognized what this thing was.

“Looks like our luck has turned.

These are rabbiteye blueberries.

It looks like berries, but it is more similar to blueberries.

The nutritional value it contains is much higher than blueberries.

This species usually grows at such a low temperature.

The lowest growth environment of this plant can even reach -50 °C. Now, it will bring enough vitamins and sugar to the three of us and increase our motivation for the future. ”

Bell glanced at Ped and the man.

The three of them stopped hesitating and stuffed the fruits into their mouths.
