Novel Full Chapter 81 - Will You Be Poisoned by Eating Vipers?
Chapter 81 – Will You Be Poisoned by Eating Vipers?
Seeing that Bell had started a fire so easily, not only Scarlett Johansson and the other women, but even the audience were very surprised.
After the baptism of the previous rounds, many people had privately tried Bell’s method of starting a fire. Although many people had succeeded, they had a deep understanding of the difficulty.
Many people had their hands worn out, but they only charred the wood and were unable to start a fire.
But in Bell’s hand, this looked extremely simple.
Instantly, many people in the comments felt that the materials used by Bell were relatively special.
But soon, everyone was slapped in the face.
“Bell, can I try this too?”
Natalie Portman looked interested in Bell’s actions.
Bell, who had just started the fire, looked at her and thought that since he did not need to use the remaining bamboo, he would let her try.
Hearing Natalie Portman’s words, the fans in Bell’s live-stream became excited.
They also wanted to see if Natalie Portman could start a fire as easily as Bell.
Immediately after, everyone realized that although this thing looked simple, its execution was not any easier than the previous two methods.
After a while, there was still no fire on Natalie Portman’s side.
“Alright, stop trying. There’s something wrong with your way.”
“This method of starting a fire requires you to ensure that the materials you want to ignite are dry enough. You also need to control the direction of the wind. If there is even the slightest spark, you have to try your best to make it into a flame. Otherwise, it’s useless no matter how hard you work.”
Hearing Bell say this, Natalie Portman gave up.
“As expected, it’s a problem of people. I’ve also tested the two methods Bell introduced before, but I was unsuccessful.”
“It’s already dark. I saw that among the other streamers on the island, only a few were able to start a fire.”
The comments were constantly discussing the difficulty of starting a fire.
Bell took out the snake.
“This snake is clearly not enough for the five of us, but fortunately, there is still some coconut meat.”
After arriving on the island, Bell did not have many tools to use, and the food he found was naturally very little.
Bell had wanted to give the snake to the four of them.
But when Natalie Portman and the others saw this snake, their scalps turned numb. They quickly shook their heads, indicating that the coconut meat was enough for them.
Seeing that they were insistent, Bell did not refuse.
This was wilderness survival. If they still could not find food in two days, the girls would naturally change.
On the other hand, Scarlett did not refuse Bell’s kindness.
Or rather, after the previous duo round, she was already mentally prepared.
Previously, when they had no food in the Alps, Scarlett Johansson had almost eaten the insects raw.
Some fans in the comments saw that Bell was preparing to eat this venomous snake and couldn’t help but worry.
Although the venomous snake’s venom glands were in its head which was already gotten rid of, whether the body could be eaten was another matter.
“Host, can this thing really be eaten? It will be troublesome if you are poisoned.”
Some comments asked seriously.
Bell only smiled and shook his head.
“Don’t worry, I am confident.”
“I saw many people saying that poisonous snakes can’t be eaten. After all, after the snake kills a prey, its poison is still in the prey’s body. After eating the prey, the poison will also stay in the snake’s body.”
“In fact, this is a misunderstanding because most people don’t know much about the workings of the venom.”
“The venom of venomous snakes is usually only effective if it is injected into the blood. It can destroy the circulatory system or target the nervous system of living creatures.”
“In fact, the composition of the venom itself is just the arrangement of different proteins.”
“After a poisoned prey is swallowed by the venomous snake, its stomach acid and digestive enzymes will naturally break down these poison.”
“In theory, as long as your gastric mucosa is fine, you won’t die from snake venom even if you drink the venom directly.”
“Of course, I don’t suggest that, because there will be some wounds in our mouths. It will be troublesome if the venom enters our capillaries through these wounds.”
“I have a simple reference. In our living environment, venomous snakes are not common, so we can look at betadine, an antiseptic medicine.”
“Everyone knows that eating this can cause death, but if you just apply it to your wound, besides aggravating your pain slightly, it is not fatal. The two theories are similar, I believe everyone can understand.”
“Actually, as long as you don’t inject the snake venom directly into your blood vessels, there won’t be a problem.”
“And the most important thing is that when we eat this snake, we are cooking it. Snake venom is essentially a kind of protein. In a high temperature, the protein will change and cause the toxin to quickly lose activity, thus losing the ability to destroy the human nervous system and blood cells.”
While explaining all that, Bell finished cooking the snake meat. He took a portion and handed it to Scarlett.
The other women looked at the sizzling snake meat. Although they were envious, they still shook their heads and ate the coconut silently.
As for the audience, after hearing Bell’s explanation, they all agreed with him.
“As expected of Bell. He has never disappointed us. The trolls can’t say anything now.”
“Is this a science show? So much has been explained about just a snake. It’s completely different from other live-streams.”
“Previous poster, I suggest you take a look at the host in live-stream no. 48. This guy was poisoned by eating insects. The entire team has been wiped out. They should be able to see a rescue helicopter soon.”
“F*ck, after so many rounds of elimination, there’s still such a thing as making up the numbers?”
“Do you think Wilderness Survival is so simple? Although it looks so easy on the host’s side, it will be very difficult to remember the characteristics and poisonous creatures of various regions clearly.”
“F*ck, doesn’t that mean that Bell is an expert? I thought this was the normal level of a survivalist.”
“Hehe, normal standard? What are you thinking? Look at the other streamers. Those are the normal standards. This is a true big shot.”
