Chapter 267: Diagonal Crossing

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Seeing Bell, the three otters widened their eyes and looked at Bell’s canoe with interest.

However, the three of them did not take the initiative to approach.

Although these otters looked very honest and looked extremely cute when they opened their eyes, Bell knew their true appearance.

“Don’t be fooled by these guys’ appearance.”

“It has a very famous nickname in Amazon. They are called river wolves.

Just from this name, you can be sure that their personalities are not as docile as their looks.

If you are deceived by their appearance and approach them, you will definitely pay a heavy price.

They are very cruel and cunning.

An adult giant otter can even grow to two meters long, and have sharp fangs.

Moreover, they are like a pack of wolves. They know how to cooperate. ”

While Bell was talking, his canoe was getting closer and closer to the three otters.

Bell also tensed up, not daring to underestimate these guys.

Bell’s eyes turned cold as he stared at the three otters.

......

Even the audience in the live-stream noticed the change in Bell.

Although killing intent could not be seen or touched, everyone felt the presence of this thing at this moment.

Although Bell had never killed anyone, he had hunted many wild animals.

He did not hunt them from afar with guns, but in close combat

The beast’s sharp sixth sense made the otters sense danger and immediately shrink back.

Seeing that the otters were intimidated by him, Bell did not dare to delay. He quickly rowed the canoe away from the three dangerous little guys.

If it were on land, Bell was confident that he would not have a problem fighting ten of them.

But in the water, these three could already pose a fatal threat to him.

These otters were very agile in the water and could use tactics.

In addition, beasts were stronger than humans.

Even if he had to fight the black caiman, Bell did not want to encounter these guys.

If one were to ask the level of their smartness, these little things actually knew how to use tools.

They had learned to use rocks to break open the shellfish to eat the meat inside.

After rowing for a while, Bell looked back and realized that the three otters really had no intention of following him. This made Bell heave a sigh of relief. He said to the live-stream again.

“Actually, in the Amazon rainforest, although jaguar, black caiman, and green anaconda are at the top of the food chain, there is a special group in the water who is not afraid of these three top predators. They are otters.”

“A lone otter might not be strong, but they usually move in groups.

With tactics, no one would dare to provoke them.

Even black caiman might fall to them sometimes.

With their advantage in speed, they will choose to play with the black caiman until its stamina is exhausted. Then, they will prey upon it.”

Just as Bell said this, the water in front gradually became rapid.

Bell knew that he was close to the Amazon River.

This also made him tense up.

If he failed here, it would really be troublesome.

Crash ~

The sound of water flowing kept coming from ahead of Bell.

White waves could be seen rolling in the water from a distance.

Bell took a deep breath and began to adjust the angle of the canoe.

Bell chose the same method as before to cross this river zone.

He was going to cross it in a zigzag manner.

This was the safest method.

If he crossed the river in a straight line, the violent water would easily crush the canoe.

The broken line caused by the large waves hitting the water caused Bell’s canoe to rise and fall.

After rowing for a while, Bell was surprised to find that his canoe was safe and sound in this water.

Of course, most of the credit went to the external bamboo frame he had made.

Its existence greatly increased the contact area between the canoe and the water, reducing the impact.

It was no wonder that the Siberians would install external support on their canoes.

What worried Bell now was the vines tying the bamboo.

This thing might become loose under the impact of the water and fall off.

The audience in the live-stream watched as Bell kept moving up and down in the canoe.

They couldn’t help but worry for Bell.

But in such a dangerous situation, Bell’s canoe did not overturn.

This was unbelievable.

“F*ck, is Bell going to create a miracle this time?”

“This doesn’t make sense. Why hasn’t this thing sunk yet? Is Bell’s innate skill useless against the canoe?”

“Didn’t Bell say he was going to cross the river diagonally? Why do I feel like he is floating down?”

Looking at the turbulent river, Bell was full of adrenaline.

At the same time, he did not forget to glance at the audience in the live-stream.

Seeing the comments in the live-stream, Bell answered generously.

“Crossing the river diagonally is a skill.

The angle at which we choose to move diagonally depends on the turbulence level of the river.

The more turbulent the river water is, the lower the diagonal line would be.

Otherwise, the cross-section of the hull will be knocked over by the waves. ”

The angle Bell chose was between 20 to 30 degrees.

Because there were no tools, Bell could not measure it perfectly.

He could only make a rough guess.

Because the water level was constantly rising, the surroundings were already submerged in the water.

Of course, the distance he had to cross was less than twenty meters long.

Under normal circumstances, it would take less than three minutes to cross this distance.

But because Bell had chosen a relatively safe method, the journey became longer.

This way, the time spent might increase by ten times.

Bell floated in the rapid river for more than half an hour before gradually leaving the turbulent river.
