Chapter 258: Self-Destructing Tree

When he was free, Bell did not forget to look at the comments and answer the audience’s questions.

Many people were very puzzled. Since the impact in the river was so strong, why did Bell not choose to use this Agathis as a bridge?

Bell explained very patiently, “It’s not that I don’t want to do this, but this Agathis is too thin. Moreover, it’s a kind of soft wood. I’m worried that it can’t withstand my weight.

Once we choose to use it as a bridge, we have no way out.

If it accidentally breaks, the stream will wash us and this tree away. At that time, it will be hard to say if we will live or die. ”

Bell hugged the tree trunk tightly and took another small step with all his strength.

He could feel the impact of the water getting stronger and stronger.

This could not continue.

Seeing that there was still half the distance left, Bell chose to activate his skill.

The Wilderness Hunter skill was activated again, and his exhausted stamina became abundant again.

Gritting his teeth, Bell endured the impact of the water and approached the other side.

It took Bell more than ten minutes to cross a ten-meter-wide stream.

This efficiency could be said to be extremely low.

Especially with every step he took in the middle of the stream, Bell had to use all his strength. Then, after taking a step, he had to firmly stick his feet to the bottom of the rock under the stream and stabilize himself before taking the next step.

Climbing ashore, Bell cut off the rattans tied to the Agathis and sat on the ground, breathing heavily.

Crossing such a rapid stream, Bell’s legs had to withstand a huge pressure.

Sitting on the ground, his legs were still trembling.

This trembling was caused by exhaustion.

Looking at the audience in the live-stream, Bell couldn’t help but smile bitterly.

“It feels like my body has been hollowed out.”

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

“Haha, Bell, you’re still young. How can you think about this?”

“Hmm, things are great.”

“Wow, what are you guys talking about? How dirty.”

“Bell, you’ve changed. When did you like to make sexual innuendos? Why have you become what I like?”

“Host, there’s something wrong with you.”

“Jokes aside, haven’t you noticed? Bell’s strength is really terrifying.

If it were me, I would have been washed away by such a rapid stream. ”

After sitting on the ground and resting for a moment, Bell felt his legs return to normal.

Then, he slowly stood up.

It had been an hour since Bell prepared to cross the stream.

The water level of this stream was much higher than before.

It was a change visible to the naked eye.

Because Bell noticed that the Agathis was about to be swept away.

“Do you see that? It’s only been an hour, and the water is about to swallow the tree.

In just a while, the height has increased by more than 30 centimeters.

Let’s leave this place as soon as possible. I don’t want to be washed away by the stream.

If this rain continues, there will definitely be a flash flood at night. ”

Seeing that there might be a flood at night, Bell knew that he had to find a high ground that was at least three to five meters above the ground.

To be honest, Bell felt that he had been a little impulsive to choose to come to the Amazon rainforest.

Compared to the Amazon rainforest during the dry season, the rainy season was undoubtedly more dangerous. Even the local natives who had lived here for more than a thousand years did not dare to rashly enter this place during the rainy season.

This continuous rain could make anything in the rainforest wet and sticky.

The muddy ground forced Bell to find another wooden stick to use as a simple climbing stick.

With this thing, he could save a lot of effort when climbing some high slopes.

“Don’t underestimate modern science. It has already developed to this extent. Most creatures and events can be explained clearly, but I want to tell everyone that more than 50% of the animals and plants in the Amazon rainforest have not been studied and analyzed.

“Many strange plants haven’t even been named.”

Bell came to a huge tree that was five to six meters tall.

There were many dense tree tumors on the tree trunk.

Bell pointed at the tree trunk and said.

“For example, the tree in front of us is called a self-destructing tree.

These dense tumors on the tree trunk are actually its fruits.

Moreover, just from the name, everyone should have guessed it.

That’s right, this tree will self-destruct.

I’m not using any metaphor. It’s a literal meaning.”

“Every time the dry season comes, the surface of this tree will explode one after another, sending all these fruits flying. This is also its unique way to spread seeds.”

“The power of its explosion can send the fruit flying 150 meters away.”

Bell patted the tree and said seriously, “Actually, the biological world has yet to figure out what causes this tree to self-destruct.

There are about ten million named and defined creatures in the world.

At first glance, it might sound like a lot, but in fact, there are still more than ten million species that have not been named or defined. They have not even been discovered. ”

“The world is really big. There are all kinds of strange things.

It has been millions of years since humans first appeared on Earth, but it is only in recent generations that we have been exploring the Earth.”

Bell couldn’t help but show a trace of reverence.

Compared to the endless Amazon rainforest, the weather in Los Angeles was very good today.

The sun was bright and the sky was cloudless.

Although the sun was high in the sky, it was not hot.

The occasional breeze made one feel extremely comfortable.

It was not surprising. Some people said that Los Angeles was the most suitable city to live in in the United States.

In the wealthy district of California, Ickville stood in front of the window and looked at the sunny weather. His mood was not too good.
