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

Chapter 191 – Acute Sense of Smell

Although the black bear was not as strong as the brown bear, that was relative.

If someone really took a hit from it directly, not to mention a human, even a red deer would die.

In short, Bell could not provoke either of these two animals.

Most importantly, these guys had thick skin. The dagger in his hand could not harm them at all.

Even if they stood there and let him stab them for an hour, the result would not change.

Therefore, the only choice for Bell was to escape.

In the forest, Bell, Ped, and the thin man were running for their lives. The little fox in Bell’s hand was crying out in fear.

Because Bell and the group had run immediately, they quickly left the black bear’s sight. Out of maternal instinct, the black bear would not leave too far away from its cub.

After chasing for dozens of meters more, the female bear finally chose to give up. She roared angrily in the direction of Bell and the others and finally turned around.

Seeing that the danger was resolved, the little bear returned to the bushes to enjoy its food.

Bell and the others did not dare to stay for long. They ran for a kilometer and confirmed that the female bear would not chase after them before heaving a sigh of relief.

After getting out of the danger, the three of them sat on the ground and panted heavily.

The little guy in his arms also knew that the danger was over. It whimpered in the direction of the escape as if it was showing off.

Seeing the little guy like this, Bell rolled his eyes and flicked its head.

The little guy fell to the snow and squeezed into Bell’s arms aggrievedly.

The audience in the live-stream laughed crazily when they saw Bell’s expression.

“Haha, Bell is actually in such a sorry state.”

“He was looking for lunch, but he almost became lunch.”

“Bell can participate in the long-distance running in the Olympics.”

“He bullies the weak and fears the strong. He didn’t look so tough when he saw the black bear, but now, he’s very tough when it comes to bullying Reserve Food.”

“Looks like Bell is not invincible all the time.”

Bell was in no mood to care about the comments in the live-stream.

His stamina had just been exhausted too much, and the little guy in his arms seemed to sense that Bell was not really angry. It whimpered at Bell again, as if to say that it was not full yet.

Seeing this, Bell couldn’t help but knock its forehead. “Such a young foodie.”

Bell could only take out some more blueberries from his backpack.

Fortunately, his hunger had been satiated by these blueberries. Otherwise, he would not have energy to run away from the black bear.

Seeing that there was still food to eat, the little Arctic fox jumped up happily and began to eat happily.

Moreover, this guy seemed to have treated the backpack as its nest and even stuffed the rabbiteye blueberries into it.

This little guy was not stupid. Instead, it was very smart.

After all, it had to live alone in the forest at such a young age and was on tenterhooks all day. Most of the time, it could only hunt in the cold at night, so it was extremely agile. After following Bell, the little fox seemed to feel much safer. It had food to eat and a warm place to sleep. Compared to before, it was simply heaven.

If Bell wanted to chase it away now, it would definitely not leave.

Carrying the food in his backpack, Bell stood up and looked at Ped and the thin man.

“Are you guys okay?”

The two of them rubbed their sore legs and stood up with a bitter smile. “Fortunately, I should be able to continue for a while.”

Bell nodded. “Then let’s continue. We’ve already wasted some time.”

The three of them adjusted their condition and continued to move forward.

“To be honest, we were really lucky.

Fortunately, we encountered a black bear and not a brown bear.

Compared to the black bear, the brown bear is an opportunist. They will usually choose the right time to attack. Once we are targeted by them, it will be difficult to escape.

Moreover, their sense of smell is very sharp. They can even smell the smell of blood five kilometers away. They can rely on their sense of smell to confirm the location of their prey within three kilometers.”

“This is simply comparable to the precision of a guided missile.”

Bell said while walking.

“We can’t choose the bush we just passed. Bears are very vengeful creatures.

I heard a story before. It is a true story. In North America, a fur hunter brought a hound to hunt in the mountains and encountered a brown bear. At that time, the hunter used a hunting rifle to injure and scare the brown bear. He thought that the matter was over, but what happened next is very surprising.”

“After this brown bear recovered from its injuries, it actually tracked the hunter with the smell left behind. Moreover, it hid for nearly twenty days and finally seized the opportunity to take revenge on the hunter. By the time the hunter’s hound arrived, the hunter’s head had already been smashed and his corpse had fallen to the ground.

But surprisingly, this hunter’s corpse was not eaten.

What did this mean? It meant that this brown bear had killed the hunter for revenge, not for food.

This is what’s scary about them! ”

After hearing Bell’s story, everyone in the live-stream, including Ped and the thin man, gasped.

They did not expect animals to be so smart or so vengeful.

Everyone couldn’t help but sigh.

“Black bears are omnivorous animals. They usually choose to eat some berries, roots, mushrooms, and other plants.

But if they find an opportunity to eat meat, this creature will not miss it.

If you encounter a black bear in this environment like me one day, I can give you a suggestion.

The best way is to find a river and swim across it.

The goal is to use the river water to dilute your smell and prevent this bear from tracking you.”

Bell paused for a moment.

“What we need to do now is to find a river like I said. It is not just to eliminate the smell on our bodies. We need to replenish some water and food as well.”

The three of them advanced.

Ped and the thin man looked at Bell with admiration.

In times of danger, this young mentor could really make extremely precise judgment. He even saved their lives time and time again.
