Are You Telling An Eight-Year-Old To Survive In The Wilderness? Chapter 62 - Fishing in the Wilderness

Chapter 62: Fishing in the Wilderness

As time passed, Bell finally increased his fan base to seven million.
Seeing the growth rate of this fan, Hanks was shocked speechless.
“This… this is simply a miracle!”
He had never seen a host with such terrifying fan growth.
Beside him was one of the leaders who had given him the order.!!
After seeing the growth rate of Bell’s fans, this leader was also very surprised.
However, when he realized that Hanks was looking at him, the leader immediately put on an unfathomable expression.
“Leader, did you know about Bell’s potential? Is that why you gave such an exclusive contract?”
“Yes, naturally. I saw Bell’s potential at a glance. Of course, we have to show enough sincerity to tie him to our platform.”
Hearing Hanks’s question, the middle-aged leader felt that it was time to posture.
Hanks did not disappoint him either. After hearing that his leader had already expected Bell’s situation, his eyes revealed admiration.
This gaze was quite lethal to a middle-aged man.
Instantly, the middle-aged leader felt smug.
However, Hanks’ next words troubled him.
“Leader, although we have signed a contract with Bell, this contract is actually not very binding. The duration is only three months, and there are some limitations.”
“If Bell continues to develop like this, there will be others who will look for him soon. At that time, the other companies will give even better conditions. What will we do then?”
The middle-aged leader’s expression froze.
He had not thought of this question before.
None of them had expected Bell’s fame to increase so quickly.
But now, this matter was imminent.
The man rubbed his chin.
“Let’s talk to Bell after this live broadcast. We will give him the best conditions and satisfy his requirements. Our only request will be exclusive broadcasting.”
“Ah? Then, leader, about the cost…?”
“No need to consider. That is the only request I have, we have to keep him here no matter what.”
Hanks swallowed his saliva in shock.
Good lord, his leader was really investing a lot this time.
“Alright, I understand. I will pay close attention to Bell.”
Hanks made up his mind. No matter what, he could not let Bell be taken away from him, no matter the cost.
No one could snatch Bell from him, not even his father.
With Bell by his side, he would not have to worry about his work for the remainder of his life.
While the two of them were discussing, Bell had walked out of the depths of the oasis with a few rats that he had found somewhere.
“Our luck today is indeed good. We have found a suitable bait in such a short time.”
“Whether we can get the big guy in the water will depend on these rats.”
With that, Bell carefully placed the rats in his backpack.
After doing all that, Bell took out his camel skin.
Then, with a few slashes with the dagger, long strips of camel skin appeared before everyone.
After soaking the camel skin in the water and drying them, they were ductile again.
Bell twisted a few of the skin together.
“A single strip of camel skin is not enough to fish out this two-meter-long Siberian salmon.”
“Moreover, we don’t have many chances, there we can’t be any accidents. We have to try to succeed in the first try.”
Bell added another strip.
After ensuring that it was tough enough, he nodded in satisfaction.
“This is good enough.”
“However, there is one thing missing. It’s the hook.”
“Of course, we don’t have a fish hook, but we can replace it with something.”
“There are iron wires support in the backpack that can be used.”
With that, Bell spent some time and pulled out the iron wires at the bottom of the backpack.
After a while, a simple hook was made.
“This is a simple method. When you don’t have fish hooks, you can see if you have any accessories like iron rings. These can all be used as fish hooks. Although the effect might not be as obvious as real fish hooks, they can still work.”
While speaking, Bell polished the simple hook to ensure that the hook could grab the fish’s flesh more easily and not cut out.
Then, Bell tied the other end of the rope to the poplar tree not far from the pool.
He took out a rat from his backpack.
After tying it up, Bell threw the rat into the pool.
“Everyone, don’t worry. Wild rats can swim. I have already placed the hook in the rat’s body. As long as this Siberian salmon eats the rat, we have a high chance of success.”
“Moreover, there’s no reason a Siberian salmon would refuse rats in this area that lacks food.”
Just as Bell had expected, after the rat fell into the water, it kept moving due to the pain of the hook in its body, causing ripples in the water.
As the rat approached the center of the lake, a black shadow gradually appeared.
The Siberian salmon did not immediately eat the rat, but lingered for a while.
After a long time, it jumped out of the water and swallowed the rat and the fish hook.
Seeing the Siberian salmon take the bait, Bell’s eyes lit up and he quickly pulled the rope.
With a pull, the hook was deeply embedded in the Siberian salmon’s flesh.
The Siberian salmon struggled powerfully due to the pain.
Even the thick poplar tree shook.
Bell estimated that if he were to just use his own strength to pull it, he might be directly pulled into the water.
He did not dare to delay. He quickly tried to exhaust the stamina of this salmon with the help of the poplar tree.
However, the strength of this salmon was far beyond Bell’s imagination. Although the rope had been reinforced, under the struggles of the salmon, the rope still showed signs of breaking.
Bell hurried forward.
“Not good!”
He could not let this guy escape now that it was almost captured.
He grabbed the part where the rope was breaking.
He was going to personally contest with the Siberian salmon.
However, the next second.
Snap!
The rope made of camel skin suddenly broke.
Bell was also dragged into the water.
