If you eat it by mistake , you could hallucinate , vomit , or even die . Do you want to try ? " Her voice wasn't loud , but it carried an authority that made everyone quiet . The camera zoomed in on the mushroom's red cap with white spots , making it look really scary . The livestream chat exploded . [ Wow ! Amelia reacted so fast ! ] [ Is Gianna really that clueless ? She didn't even recognize a poisonous mushroom ? So dumb ! ] [ Come on , Gianna didn't mean any harm . ] [ Was Amelia overreacting ? She's being too harsh . ] [ Stop defending her .

" Some people will risk their life just to get on camera , huh ? " Kristina rolled her eyes . " Too dumb to even know it . " Gianna's face went from pale to red , tears welling in her eyes . " I - I just wanted to help . Amelia , why didn't you tell me before ? " Amelia ignored her and turned to the crew . " There are lots of poisonous mushrooms around here . I suggest everyone stick together so nobody picks the wrong one . " Huxley wiped his sweaty forehead and nodded quickly . Who would have thought this reality show could get this intense ? The drama hit its peak ! Just then , a scream echoed from far away . Everyone turned to see what had happened . The cameraman , Samuel Gray , was holding his ankle and collapsed on the ground . A snake slithered fast into the grass nearby . " Oh my gosh ! That's a poisonous snake ! " a crew member shouted . The set instantly erupted into chaos . Gianna screamed and stepped back . " Mr. Ford ! This place is way too dangerous ! Let's get out of here ! " Kristina and the others looked scared , too . But Amelia dashed forward . She crouched beside Samuel and checked his leg . She quickly took a tourniquet from her backpack and tied it tightly around his ankle . " It's a banded krait . Extremely venomous , " she said calmly , her hands moving fast . " We have to act fast . " Huxley panicked . " Call the medical team ! Now ! " " No time ," Amelia said , pulling out a small knife . She cut a cross on the bite . " Who has a lighter ? " p p .

How had she never known Amelia could do all this ? At home , Amelia seemed ordinary and often got outshone by her . But now , after leaving the Nygards , she had become so capable . The grass was thick here , probably full of snakes . No one wanted to go further , and they had already collected enough herbs , so the mission was complete . They started heading back . Amelia pulled out a few packets of powder from her backpack and sprinkled them along the path . Hurley asked nervously , " Amelia , what's that ? " " Cannamon powder . It keeps snakes away ," she said calmly , still focused on spreading the powder . " Snakes don't usually attack unless you bother them . If we leave them alone , we'll be fine ." Bella's eyes widened . " You even brought that ? " Amelia gave her a faint glance . " It's outdoor basic survival knowledge . " Kristina couldn't help but give her a thumbs - up .
