With food, the two of them were in a much better state.
Scarlett ate most of the roasted hare.
Bell ate the remaining roasted hare and fish.
“Alright, we have to move now. We can’t camp in the snow forever. Since there are trees, we can build a shelter in the forest. At least it’s better than resting in this snow.”
Bell suggested.
Scarlett nodded.
“Sure.”
After experiencing two life and death crises, she was almost obedient to Bell.
When the audience saw their actions, many began to cheer.
“The two of them look so compatible.”
“Thinking about it, it seems like a love relation between an older girl and a younger boy. Goddess, don’t you want to consider it?”
Scarlett Johansson happened to see this comment and instantly blushed.
She quickly shook his head.
“Aw, what are you thinking? Bell is only eight.”
“But it would be appropriate in a few years.”
“Pui, pui, pui, pui…”
Seemingly shocked by her own thoughts, Scarlett quickly shook her head and stopped reading the comments.
The two of them continued to go to lower altitudes.
Bell walked in front, not forgetting to interact with the audience.
“Our mission now is to move down as fast as possible, but it won’t be easy to find a path in this forest.”
“So what do we do, Bell?”
Scarlett asked nervously.
Now, she did not look down on wilderness survival as much as before.
If not for Bell, she would have died twice already.
She knew that her knowledge on wilderness survival was too immature. Compared to Bell, she was more like an eight-year-old child who needed to be taken care of.
“No need to worry, I am here.”
“Those who have watched my live stream before should know that if you can’t find the way in the forest, you can first move to a higher place. That way, your vision will be wider.”
Scarlett, who had watched the videos of Bell, was surprised to hear him say this.
“Bell, we’re on a snowy mountain. If we want to find a higher place, do we have to return the way we came?”
Bell staggered and looked at her speechlessly.
“Are you serious?”
Bell curled his lips. Why was such a smart girl thinking so strangely?
They had finally descended the mountain and arrived at this altitude. They would be mad to return just to find the way.
Seeing the look in Bell’s eyes, Scarlett knew that she had probably said something wrong. She stuck her tongue out cheekily and stopped talking.
The audience saw her action and their hearts trembled. Normally, they would not see such a shy expression on the screen.
Bell looked up.
“Find a tall tree and climb up. You will naturally have a wider view.”
Scarlett finally understood.
Bell climbed a ten or meters tall tree like a nimble cat.
Standing on the treetop, there was white snow in front of him. Even after walking out of the forest, there were no nearby human settlements.
As the altitude fell, the path became more bumpy.
After a moment of hesitation, Bel let out a soft cry in his mind.
“System?”
“Ding! Host, how can I help you?”
“Is there a way to create tools to leave the mountain?”
[Ding. Rock Climbing Tool Crafting LVMAX!]
[Ding! Snowfield Tool Crafting LVMAX!]
“The total price is 2,000 popularity points.”
The system’s voice sounded in Bell’s mind.
“Alright, exchange.”
After this period of accumulation, Bell had already accumulated some popularity.
Bell made the decision.
Details of the two skills entered Bell’s brain.
After grasping both knowledge, Bell got down from the tree.
“How is it?”
Seeing Bell come down, Scarlett asked with concern.
Bell shook his head.
“There are no villages nearby. The mountain path is very steep. It will be difficult to walk on foot.”
Bell said truthfully.
Scarlet looked worried.
“Ah? Then how do we go down? Do we take a detour?”
Even Bell said it was very difficult, so it definitely would not be easy.
Seeing Scarlett’s frustration, Bell smiled.
“Don’t worry, I have a plan.”
Scarlett looked hopeful again.
The audience also heaved a sigh of relief when they heard Bell.
If even Bell could not do anything, the two of them would really be in danger.
Bell walked forward and said, “The terrain is very steep now. It’s not realistic to continue like this. We might even be injured, but we can use some tools.”
Bell said as he looked around. Suddenly, his eyes lit up as he seemed to have found his target.
A sapling.
“This sapling’s size is just perfect.”
“We can use such saplings to make two pairs of snow shoes. In that case, we don’t have to worry about the snow being too slippery.”
Bell broke the sapling and trimmed off the remaining branches with the dagger.
The sapling was bent into an arc to create a large frame. Then, Bell added a few more sticks to the frame and used the ropes of the parachute to weave them into a net.
The outer shell of the snowshoes was completed.
The snow shoes would prevent slipping and increase the friction which made it very useful when moving in the snow.
Her feet that would reach deep into the snow with every step finally stopped falling after she put on the snow shoes made by Bell.
Scarlett was stunned. She had wanted to learn from Bell and help.
But Bell was too skilled. She had not learned anything at all. Before she could react, Bell had finished everything.
With the snow shoes, the two of them sped up greatly.
The two of them continued walking down. Finally, when it was almost dark, they found a few figures at the foot of the mountain.
They were a group of skiers.
When they saw the figure, it meant that they had successfully returned to civilization.
