Chapter 229: Giant Catfish, Humblebrag

Bell was standing beside the swamp, covered in mud.

It was already very difficult to stand steadily, not to mention that there was a large catfish in his hand.

The catfish struggled violently and almost dragged Bell into the swamp.

Fortunately, Bell stabilized himself in time and slowly moved his hands toward the catfish’s gills.

After confirming the location, he dug his finger into the gills and exerted strength.

With a splash, it broke through the water and was thrown ashore by Bell.

Although it had already left the water, the catfish was still unwilling to give up. It kept twisting its body, wanting to return to the swamp.

But Bell would not give it another chance.

He took out the dagger and stabbed it into the catfish’s head.

He raised the catfish to the camera with a smile.

“Look, this is a catfish. They can be seen almost everywhere in the world. Their adaptability can be said to be extremely strong.

When food is scarce, they will also eat some water birds and rats.”

“You might think this catfish is quite big, but if there are no natural enemies, these guys can even live for more than 60 years.

It could definitely be considered a long life among fish.

How big do you think a seventy-year-old catfish would be?

For now, the largest catfish found in the world is in the Mekong River.

It was already 2.7 meters long and weighed 293 kilograms.

This is already the weight of an adult brown bear.

According to the local fishermen, this huge catfish could even drag a raft for several kilometers underwater.

Bamboo rafts have a huge floating force. The deeper it goes, the greater the force. ”

“Occasionally, you can see huge catfish in videos of wild fishing.

If you are lucky enough to encounter such a situation, I suggest you cut the fishing line or give up on the fishing rod.

Because you are definitely not its match. Don’t even try it alone.”

As Bell spoke, he had already cut open the head and tail of the catfish and pulled out its internal organs.

“Although this guy looks big, its head occupies almost a third of its body. After removing its tail and internal organs, there are not many parts that can be used.”

Bell had been moving for a long time and was already hungry.

Looking at the snow-white fish meat, Bell bit into it without hesitation.

The catfish skin was very elastic. It felt like biting on a piece of rubber, making Bell tear it for a while before biting off a piece.

Bell tasted the fish and said.

“No matter where the catfish are, they have a habit of feeding on carrion, so there will inevitably be a large number of parasites in their bodies.

If you are in the wild, you should cook it completely if the situation permits it.

However, my situation is a little special. It is very difficult to start a fire in the rainforest, especially now that everything is wet with the rain.

We have no choice but to eat it raw.

Choose between parasites and death? I choose parasites. ”

The strong fishy smell in his mouth made Bell frown. He chewed for a while and swallowed.

At the same time, Bell did not hesitate and tore off another large piece of fish meat.

Although this catfish looked to be 50 centimeters long, without its head and tail, it was only about 20 centimeters long. After removing its internal organs, the edible parts were only a few kilograms.

Soon, the catfish was finished by Bell.

Taking advantage of this free time, Bell looked at the camera and continued.

“Actually, eating meat raw in the wilderness will very likely cause you to be infected with parasites.

If you have really experienced such a wilderness adventure, you will have to undergo a comprehensive examination after you return and have an infusion to remove the parasites.

I have to say this to everyone.

What I do in the wilderness can only act as a reference. Don’t imitate it lightly. After all, not everyone is familiar with these skills.

A little knowledge is dangerous. If you fail to apply it, it could get troublesome. ”

The audience in the live-stream couldn’t help but complain.

“Haha, Bell is acting cool again.”

“Humblebragging, are we?”

“I don’t dare to talk about other aspects. At the very least, the raft I make won’t sink.”

“Previous poster, you’re really killing me.”

Looking at the comments in the live-stream, Bell rolled his eyes.

These guys really knew how to rub it in.

However, Bell could not be bothered with the teasing in the live-stream. He drank another mouthful of water and continued to move towards his goal.

Because it was the rainy season, the swamp area had clearly become much larger. Bell could only walk in the areas without water as much as possible.

After all, the swamp was abnormally turbid, and no one could see what was inside. If there was a black caiman or a green anaconda hiding inside, he could bid farewell to his life.

The mud here was very thick and could even reach Bell’s knees.

Every step was very difficult for Bell.

In just ten minutes, Bell was covered in sweat.

“Do you see that? I said that even an army moving at the highest speed can only travel three kilometers a day in this environment. This is definitely not an exaggeration.

With the intense energy expenditure and this humid environment, we need to replenish at least 4.5 liters of fresh water every day.

Moreover, this rainforest looks like there is water everywhere, but in fact, there are very few drinkable water sources. ”

“Because there are many parasites here.

The water can only be drunk after it is filtered and boiled.

Unfortunately, starting a fire is a huge problem, so we can only think of other ways to find water to drink.”

After resting for a while, Bell continued moving.

This mud was really a headache. Every time Bell pulled his leg out, it would take a lot of effort.

When he pulled his leg out, there was a gurgling sound, like the sound of a cork being opened.

At the same time, there was an unpleasant rotten smell that made Bell dizzy.

Fortunately, this swamp was only about 500 meters long.

Bell saw the end and gained some hope.

Even so, he still walked for nearly an hour.

Stepping on the dead leaves on the ground again, Bell heaved a sigh of relief. He had never felt so comfortable.

At the same time, the rain began to fall again.
