Are You Telling An Eight-Year-Old To Survive In The Wilderness? Chapter 101 - Refining Salt From Seawater

Chapter 101: Refining Salt From Seawater

“F*ck! What’s going on? Why can’t I send messages?”
The fat middle-aged man cursed.
Looking at the lively live-stream on the screen, the man gritted his teeth.
Bell had no idea what was going on in the live-stream.
At this moment, he had already carried the corpse of the bull shark and swam back to the shore.!!
“We have to get out of here as soon as possible. The smell of blood will attract more predators.”
“Danger is also everywhere in the water.”
“But we’re undoubtedly lucky this time. This bull shark can provide us with food for a while.”
Bell said to the audience.
Seeing Bell walk ashore, Scarlett, Johnson, Keira Knightley, and the other women quickly surrounded him.
“How are you, Bell? Are you okay?”
Scarlett looked nervous.
“Sorry, I was too willful.”
Keira also looked guilty.
At the same time, they looked at Bell with gratitude.
If not for Bell, she might have died.
Although this bull shark was not big, its teeth were sharp. One bite could even crush bones.
In such an environment, carrying such injuries was no different from death.
Seeing them like this, Bell smiled and shook his head.
“Alright, this is Wilderness Survival. It is filled with dangers everywhere. No one could have expected it.”
“Moreover, we’re a team now.”
Bell looked very optimistic.
Sensing Bell’s relaxed mood, everyone was infected.
After confirming that Bell was really not injured, Scarlett heaved a sigh of relief.
Although Keira still blamed herself, she was not as depressed as before.
The atmosphere in the team was adjusted by Bell.
The audience in the live-stream also praised Bell’s mentality.
“Wow, the host is too warm.”
“Is this considered saving the damsel in distress?”
“Our female protagonist from the previous round seems to be jealous.”
Some of Bell’s fans in the live-stream also began to joke.
Bell ignored these messages.
“Alright, the crisis has been resolved, but the energy from the food I ate just now has been expended. If possible, can you help me cook this bull shark? Let’s have a full meal.”
After the Wilderness Hunter skill ended, Bell felt abnormally hungry.
It seemed like this skill had side effects.
It made sense. It would be unrealistic if there were no side effects from such a sudden increase in strength.
Hearing Bell’s words, Scarlett and the others quickly began to move.
The shark was quickly butchered and became food.
Keira Knightley felt that she had no rights to enjoy the fruits of victory.
But under Bell’s encouragement, she finally moved her fingers.
Compared to Bell, who was also quite hungry, Keira was starving and exhausted.
After all, she had been trying to find food in the sea for the whole day.
Bell picked up a piece of shark meat and placed it in his mouth, chewing carefully.
However, he frowned slightly.
“As a predator of the sea, shark meat is quite chewy. It is not as loose as ordinary fish meat.”
“But there is a trace of bitterness.”
“Probably, no one will order it in a restaurant.”
Bell explained the taste to the audience with a professional expression.
“However, we have no right to be picky about this.”
Bell picked up another piece.
Suddenly, Bell seemed to think of something.
“If there are seasonings, the taste might be much better.”
Scarlett rolled her eyes.
“Bell, we’re in the wilderness after all. There’s no seasoning. If we were in a city, I could cook for you. It’s better not to think about it now.”
Keira Knightley also walked out of the shadows. Hearing Bell’s words, she covered her mouth and smiled.
“Hurry up and eat. You’ve exhausted a lot of energy. Thank you for this. I’ll treat you to a big meal when we return.”
After this experience, Bell’s relationship with them had clearly improved.
Moreover, it was obvious that Keira wanted to get to know Bell further.
Without anyone noticing, Scarlett Johansson looked warily at Keira Knightley.
Bell did not look at them. Instead, he looked around and finally focused on the reef by the sea.
Bell ran to the sea and filled a canteen with seawater.
Then, he chose a relatively flat stone and placed it in the fire.
The seawater fell on the stone.
Soon, water vapor began to appear, and the seawater on the stones was dried.
Bell moved the stone out. When he looked again, he saw that some white crystals had appeared on the surface of the stone.
He picked up a piece of fish and gently dipped it in the salt.
Bell immediately narrowed his eyes in happiness.
“Mmm, it tastes much better now.”
As he spoke, Bell signaled for the others to try.
“Don’t use it too much. You can’t eat too much coarse salt condensed from seawater.”
The others also tried it. As Bell had said, the taste was indeed much better.
At least it was not as difficult to swallow as before.
“Friends, I’ve learned another skill.”
“He actually thought of making salt in such a situation. Host, you’re really something.”
“I think Bell must be a foodie. He’s too knowledgeable.”
The comments in the live-stream were teasing.
In the peaceful atmosphere, almost half of the bull shark was eaten.
At night.
Bell sat alone in front of the fire.
Scarlett and the others leaned into the shelter. Although they were lying down, they were clearly not asleep. They were whispering and saying something. Bell did not hear them clearly.
Seeing that no one was around, Bell took off his jacket.
It was not as easy as everyone thought.
Bell realized that there were several bruises on his body caused by the fin of the bull shark.
The impact of the water was much greater than everyone thought.
However, Bell was not too worried.
This injury was not fatal. It only hurt a little, and it did not injure his internal organs.
What surprised Bell was that his weak physique could actually withstand such a blow.
“Looks like my physique is indeed very strong.”
