Chapter 69 Fishing

But after the next few days, Qi Yuan realized that he was overthinking.

I thought that such a fierce cold wave would definitely have a serious impact on the natural environment, and a super flood would definitely be inevitable.

But in fact, the natural ecology of the foggy world easily withstood this disaster, and even a major flood did not occur.

First, although the weather was cold, the speed at which the snow melted was beyond imagination.

Except for a few extremely cold areas, the ice and snow began to melt in most places.

Secondly, a large amount of snow water melted and flowed, and was actually absorbed by the forest, becoming nutrients for the recovery of animals and plants in the forest, and no flood was formed at all.

In just three days, most of the ice and snow melted, leaving only a 30-centimeter-high snow layer.

Maybe because the land absorbed too much snow water, a permafrost layer was formed, and the last snow melted slowly.

Qi Yuan couldn't understand why the ice and snow could melt quickly when the temperature was still more than ten degrees below zero.

Perhaps the natural rules of the foggy world are still very different from those on Earth.

Qi Yuan is not an expert in natural sciences, so he naturally won't explore these issues.

He only knows that in the current situation, the survivors can go out and find food in the wild.

Many survivors have long tried to leave the shelter and find food in nearby areas.

But the result was very bad. There was no food at all after the cold wave.

Maybe you will encounter hungry large wild animals and become someone else's food if you are not careful.

Recently, there is a very popular post in the forum, called "Eighteen Questions about Finding Food in the Snow".

It is about how to find edible food in this environment while protecting your own safety.

Qi Yuan also read it carefully and found that most of the content is about how to turn tree bark, roots and weeds into edible food.

There are hundreds of thousands of people who like it!

I can't complain, it's really pitiful...

However, Qi Yuan also realized that it is really difficult to find food and explore the wild under the current situation.

But at this time, Qi Yuan turned to a post, "What can we do when the cold wave ends?"

The title is mediocre and it will not be popular at first glance.

However, after reading the content, it gave Qi Yuan a lot of inspiration.

There are many good methods mentioned in the post, one of which is very suitable for Qi Yuan.

That is fishing.

Qi Yuan remembered that he had opened a fishing rod before, but never used it.

Later, he obtained excellent bait from Lu Zhipeng's inventory, which was indeed very suitable for fishing.

So Qi Yuan began to prepare.

He found the long-forgotten fishing rod and started making bait.

The bait was excellent, so the materials needed were expensive, and the viscera of excellent beasts were needed, which Qi Yuan could not get together.

So he could only reluctantly use good food to make it, and finally succeeded, and the quality was good.

This was all thanks to the system update!

Because it was made by hand, the production process could be more flexible.

If it was before, it would not have been possible to make it successfully.

Qi Yuan put on snow boots, a big cotton jacket, a cotton coat, cotton pants, a sweater, and a scarf, and wrapped himself tightly.

Then he took the fishing rod, fishing net, bait, and wooden barrel, left the shelter and came to the stream. .

With him left, there were 500 bee colonies led by the Iron-backed Black Tiger Queen Bee.

The food in the hive was seriously insufficient, and they also needed to go out to find food.

Today, I happened to go out with Qi Yuan. While protecting his safety, I could also go to farther places to find food.

Qi Yuan came to the stream next to the shelter. The river here was too small, and it was definitely impossible to fish.

However, the water flow in the upper reaches of the stream was obviously expanding, and there was probably a large current in the upper reaches.

Qi Yuan followed the stream and walked all the way to the depths of the forest.

After walking for a kilometer, I found that the stream had indeed become much larger and could be called a stream.

Continuing to walk forward, the stream became wider, the surrounding terrain became flatter, and the vision gradually widened.

"Is this... a plain? Are we going out of the forest?"

Qi Yuan was a little confused, because the environment here was less and less like a forest.

But thinking back carefully, when I used the "Beast Search Scroll" before, the terrain here was displayed, and it seemed that the surrounding area was still in the forest range.

Looking at the forest on both sides of the river, I found that the forest was still very dense, and there were more trees.

Obviously, this is still part of the forest, and this forest is indeed larger than imagined.

Why is the river flat and wide?

There is only one reason, there used to be a big river here, at least much bigger than the current river.

The frozen river is only 2 meters wide, while the dry flat river is at least 10 meters wide.

Qi Yuan thought to himself: "It seems that the idea is right, there should be a larger river at the source.

Keep going forward, and after walking for about 5 kilometers, a river finally comes to an end.

It connects to another larger river.

Obviously, the small river next to Qi Yuan's shelter is a tributary of another big river.

This big river flows out from deeper in the forest. Now the river is 10 meters wide and the water depth is much deeper than the tributary.

Even if the lake is frozen, you can see the deep river water under the ice.

"Hua La La!"

Qi Yuan leaned over the ice to confirm again, and vaguely heard the sound of river water flowing under the ice.

"This is it! "

Qi Yuan made a decision and chose to fish here.

Near the middle of the river, I tried to break the ice with an iron axe, and found that the ice was very thick, at least 50 centimeters thick.

Qi Yuan banged the ax with bang bang bang for more than half an hour, breaking the blade of the iron ax, and finally managed to open a hole as thick as an arm.

"call!"

Qi Yuan struggled to get up from the ice, stretched, and stretched his muscles.

If he hadn't been physically strong, it would have been impossible to break open such a thick ice surface.

An ordinary person would have died of exhaustion on the ice.

Take out the fishing rod, hang the fishy-smelling bait on the hook, and lower it along the hole in the ice.

Generally speaking, if you use good-grade bait, you have a higher probability of attracting good-grade fish.

However, this also depends on the specific river conditions.

If the river is too small and all the fish living there are ordinary-level fish, then it is naturally impossible for good-level fish to appear.

If it is a large lake, especially a good-level lake, the probability of high-quality fish appearing is very high.

However, if you want to catch good-grade fish, you also need to bear the corresponding risks.

Wild aquatic animals, like wild beasts in the forest, are powerfully aggressive.

If it were an ordinary person, his strength might not be as strong as that of a good-grade fish, and he might even be dragged into the water.

Getting ready, Qi Yuan started fishing.

But I didn’t bring a chair, so it wasn’t easy to sit directly on the ice.

So Qi Yuan thought for a long time and put the black tiger bee queen under his buttocks, which could just be used as a bench without freezing his buttocks.

Of course, he couldn't just wait for the fish here, it would be a waste of time.

Qi Yuan brought the "Mist Survival Manual" over and while waiting for the fish to take the bait, he browsed the forum.

"On the difference between trading markets and public stores!" 》

"Real-time Price Comparison in the Fog World"

"The Encyclopedia of Beasts in the Mist World - Powerful beasts that are different from the animals on earth!" 》

"Good grade food!" What's the difference? 》

"I don't understand Reiki!" How to understand the foggy world? ! 》

"..."

Various posts were about the experiences of other survivors, and Qi Yuan also tried to understand them.

I also absorbed a lot of new knowledge.

For example, special plants in other places, or other survivors encountering powerful beasts.
