Chapter 69 Fishing

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

Originally, he thought that such a fierce cold current would seriously affect the natural environment, and a super flood would be inevitable.

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 of snow melting was beyond imagination.

Except for a few extremely cold areas, 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.

It may be because the land absorbed too much snow water, so a permafrost layer was formed, and the final snow melted slowly.

Qi Yuan couldn't understand why the ice and snow could melt quickly when the temperature was still several 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 science, so he naturally won't explore these issues.

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

Many survivors have already begun to try to leave the shelter and find food in nearby areas.

But the result is very bad. They have just experienced a cold wave and there is no food at all.

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

Recently, a post in the forum has become very popular, called "Eight 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, tree roots and weeds into edible food.

It has been liked by tens of thousands of people!

Can't complain, it's really pitiful...

However, Qi Yuan also realized that it is really difficult to find food and explore in 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 won't be popular at first glance.

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

The post mentioned many good methods, 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 feed from Lu Zhipeng's inventory, which is indeed very suitable for fishing.

So, Qi Yuan began to prepare.

Find a dusty fishing rod, and then start making bait.

The bait is excellent, and the materials required are also expensive. It requires the viscera of excellent beasts, which Qi Yuan can't get together at all.

So I could only reluctantly use good-grade food to make it, and finally it was successfully made, and the quality was good.

This is also thanks to the system update!

Because it is made by hand, the production process can be more flexible.

If it was before, it would not be 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. .

He left with 500 bee colonies led by the iron-backed black tiger queen bee.

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

Today, I happened to go out with Qi Yuan, protecting his safety while also being able to find food farther away.

Qi Yuan came to the stream next to the shelter. The river here is too small, and fishing is definitely not allowed.

However, the water level in the upper reaches of the stream is obviously expanding, and the upper reaches can probably hold a large flow of water.

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

After walking for a kilometer, he found that the stream had indeed become 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 to the forest?"

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

However, thinking back carefully, when I used the "Beast Search Scroll" before, it showed the terrain here, 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 I imagined.

Why is the river flat and wide?

There is only one reason, it used to be a big river, at least much larger than the current river.

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

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

After walking for about 5 kilometers, a river channel finally came to an end.

It connected to another larger river channel.

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

This large river flows from deeper in the forest. The current river channel 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 surface and confirmed it again. He could vaguely hear the sound of the river flowing under the ice.

"This is it!"

Qi Yuan made a decision and chose to fish here.

놇Going close to the middle of the river, I tried to break the ice with an iron axe. I found that the ice was very thick, up to 50 centimeters thick.

Qi Yuan banged bang bang bang for more than half an hour, breaking the iron ax's blade and barely opening 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, he wouldn't have been able to break through such a thick ice surface.

If it were an ordinary person, he would have died of exhaustion.

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

Generally speaking, if you use good-grade bait, you will 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 naturally no good-level fish will appear.

If it is a large lake, especially a good-grade 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 you are an ordinary person, your strength may not be as good as that of a good-grade fish, and you may even be dragged into the water.

Getting ready, Qi Yuan started fishing.

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

So Qi Yuan thought for a while and put the black tiger bee queen under his buttocks, which was just enough to be used as a bench without freezing his buttocks.

Of course, he can't just wait for the fish, 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 Places 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 is the difference between 놋 and 놋? 》

"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.
