Chapter 724: Fishing for Golden Turtles

Whoever is unlucky is responsible for transporting the red sand scorpions to the edge of the desert and placing them near the Great Lake Qinglong Pond, where the hunting party will camp tonight.

Setting up the tent and preparing dinner is the next step for them.

More than 20 people continued to stay in the red sand, and they were all very careful, refusing to let go of an inch of sand in front of them.

Li Hao stayed here because he was a guest, Mei Yu and Ye Yunyang stayed because of their outstanding "achievements", and the three of them were different in nature.

Ye Yunyang raised his head and pointed to the right side of Meiyu.

Meiyu nodded and stepped on it.

Call!

A black-red scorpion tail emerged from the sand, and the tail pin was nailed to her left leggings with a crisp sound.

Mei Yu moved quickly, plunged the barbed spear into the soil, and used both hands one after another, and finally brought out the red sand scorpion with a body length of more than one meter two.

Li Hao was envious and said, "You two are really lucky, so far, I haven't caught more than one meter of prey." ”

"What's the hurry, luck doesn't always fall on a person's head. Ye Yunyang said with a smile.

Li Hao shrugged, raised his feet and stomped heavily on the ground, hoping to attract the attention of the Red Sand Scorpion, and then converged towards him.

But Mi Yun's words disappointed him completely.

"It's useless, the scorpion doesn't run around like a headless fly, especially when there are so many of us acting together, it doesn't bother to move its nest. ”

At six o'clock in the afternoon, Teng Xingan said loudly: "The sun is about to set, and we should call it a day, and everyone will line up and take the prey to the camp." ”

As the sun sets, the temperature of the Red Sand gradually decreases, and the Red Sand Scorpion will hide deeper in the sand, leaving it indifferent to walk around above its head.

The shadows of the team members were stretched long in the afterglow of the setting sun, and before nightfall, they came to the camp.

According to statistics, a total of more than 70 desert scorpions were hunted today, more than half of which were more than one meter, and the harvest was not small.

In the center of the camp was a cauldron with a splash of water, and inside was the scorpion legs and scorpion tongs, which were fragrant.

Several hunters used a colander to fish out the cooked scorpion legs, put them in a basin and distribute them to everyone, Mi Yun picked up a piece to teach the three of them how to eat, he first used a stone to smash open the hard shell outside, and reached in his fingers to take out the white meat from the inside.

The three of them concocted it in the same way, Ye Yunyang savored it carefully, the taste of scorpion meat is very similar to that of hairy crabs, and it also has the unique sweet taste of lobsters, which is simply a combination of the two.

Even Li Hao couldn't help but praise it, saying that it was the best thing he had ever eaten.

The taste of the scorpion claws is even stronger, like crab claws, who would have thought that in the desert area where birds don't pull and, there is such a delicious taste, and people can't help but sigh at the greatness of the Creator.

After they were full of wine and food, the hunters did not go into the tent to rest, but worked together to clean up the remaining scorpions, take out the scorpion meat after cooking, put it on a rope and dry it, and it only took one night to turn it into jerky, which not only kept the taste of freshness, but also made easy to store and carry, and brought back to the village to share with others.

The temperature difference between day and night in the desert is very large, but the sand on the ground cools slowly, and you only need to spread a blanket to sleep on it until dawn.

Ye Yunyang cultivated the Xuan Power for two hours, and then lay down with a yawn.

"Yun Yang, I suddenly feel that the life of the barbarians is not bad. Li Hao said.

He blinked: "I thought you were asleep! It's rare to be able to say such words from your eldest young master, it seems that your opinion of barbarians has changed a lot." ”

Li Hao nodded and said: "That's true, before I came into contact with them, I thought that barbarians were synonymous with dirty and insidious, and even associated them with flood beasts, but after in-depth contact in the past few days, I found that it was not like that. ”

Ye Yunyang smiled faintly: "I have always said that the Elders have a problem with education, and they are trying to shape the barbarians into bad people, and their purpose can be imagined, it is nothing more than not wanting the Protoss to have pity for the barbarians, and then accept them, which is something that the Elders do not want to see, so they try their best to prevent it." ”

Li Hao's face tightened, and he said: "Your analysis is reasonable, the elders will do this is indeed biased, but what, the elders must have their ideas, we are not in their position, it is difficult to think about things with their thinking." ”

Ye Yunyang sighed lightly, it seems that it is not easy to change a person's mind, he said: "It's not early, hurry up and rest, there is a new task tomorrow, I can't sleep enough every day, and my mental state is much worse than that of hunters, which is not good." ”

With that, he closed his eyes.

Li Hao's eyes were still open, he had been lying down more than two hours ago, but he had never fallen asleep.

The next morning, the red sun sprayed thin.

Since the moment the sun appeared, the air temperature has risen rapidly, and a quarter of an hour ago it felt refreshing, but now it is so hot that you sweat after a few casual movements.

Breakfast was made last night, and no one wanted to make a fire to cook because it was so hot that the hot food couldn't be swallowed at all.

The jerky became hard, and it took a lot of chewing to swallow it, but fortunately, it tasted good, Ye Yunyang ate three pieces in a row, raised the kettle and poured a few mouthfuls of water, and the feeling of fullness was immediate.

Teng Xing'an asked people to distribute fishing ropes, which are woven with silk spit out by a giant mulberry silkworm, which is as thick as a little finger and has excellent toughness, and it is said that one can lift tens of thousands of catties of things, and it will not break easily.

Following everyone's example, the three of them punched holes at the bottom of the scorpion tail needle, passed the silk thread over and knotted it with a special technique, and finally each took two pieces of scorpion jerky and walked towards Qinglongtan together.

The large lake is sparkling and cannot be seen at a glance, and there are towering trees growing on the shore, which has a good shading effect.

Because Ye Yunyang and Mi Yun had no experience in hanging the golden turtle, Teng Xing'an explained it in detail, saying: "Cut a small piece of dried scorpion meat into bait, not too big and not too small, too big and wasteful, too small to arouse the interest of the golden turtle, it becomes an ordinary fish bite hook, one inch square is more appropriate." ”

Once you've hung up the bait, throw the hook as far as you can, tie the other end of the line to your wrist, and pull it up as fast as you can if you notice that the line is tight.

The experienced hunters threw their hooks into the water one after another, and sat in the shade of the trees waiting for the turtles to bite.

Among the four novices, Li Hao threw the hook the farthest, and couldn't help but be complacent, Meiyu threw it the closest, with a look of disappointment on his face, and Ye Yunyang's last hook was as close as Meiyu.

Mei Yu gave him a grateful look, obviously he did it on purpose, so as not to be ridiculed by everyone.

A few minutes later, the fishing line in Li Hao's hand suddenly tightened, he subconsciously jumped up, his hands alternately jerked, and a straight water line was formed in the lake, and it was obvious that some kind of heavy object was being dragged ashore.

He laughed happily: "It seems that my luck is the best today, the top prize is going to be pulled out by me, don't be too envious, wahaha!"

Mei Yu tugged at Ye Yunyang's sleeve and said, "It seems that it is beneficial to throw the hook farther away." ”

Ye Yunyang shrugged: "That's just general common sense, there are always exceptions to everything, Qinglong Pond is so big, the number of golden turtles is limited, the human eye can't distinguish the underwater situation, fishing is no different from hitting luck, since it depends on luck, it's the same anywhere." ”

Li Hao felt more and more that the fishing wire was heavy, and he was sure that he was catching a golden turtle, because Teng Xingan said that the weight of an adult golden turtle is more than 600 catties, and the body length is close to one and a half meters.

Mi Yun said enviously: "Li Gongzi is really lucky. ”

"That is, I didn't catch an adult red sand scorpion yesterday, and I must make up for it today, luck doesn't always fall on one person's head. He said with a smile, not forgetting to glance at Ye Yunyang with an expression of invitation.

As the fishing line is gradually withdrawn, the ripples on the surface of the water become larger and larger, and a touch of yellow can be faintly seen under the clear water.

Li Hao was even more convinced, because the golden turtle was yellow.

"That's not right!" Teng Xing'an shook his head.

"What's wrong?" Ye Yunyang asked.

"When the turtle is dragged away, it will make a defiant action and form a small whirlpool on the surface of the water. If you look closely, the trail is unusually straight, more like a fish being dragged over. ”

Li Hao glared and said: "But I have seen the yellow, maybe the golden turtle was suppressed by the domineering aura of this son, so he didn't resist." ”

Mi Yun was stunned: "Wang Ba's anger?"

"It's Wang Ba, not Wang Ba!" Li Hao glanced at him.

As the distance was pulled, a large earthy yellow fish with a length of more than four feet surfaced, and Teng Xing'an and the hunters couldn't help but laugh.

"What are you laughing at, even if it's a fish, it's better than you gods can't catch it. Li Hao blushed and defended himself.

Mi Yun also laughed out of breath, holding his stomach and saying, "Xiang...... Xiangyu. ”

Hearing this name, Ye Yunyang also smiled.

Li Hao was confused: "What do you mean?"

Ye Yunyang said: "On the Holy Heaven Continent, in addition to the meaning of flying, Xiang is also synonymous with the word. ”

"It's the same on our side. Mi Yun said.

Li Hao was dumbfounded: "Xiangyu...... fish?"

He took a closer look, but no, the color of this fish was very similar to something, it was simply an enlarged version of a Xiang.

Mi Yun continued: "The fish not only looks alike, but also smells bad, and all the aquatic animals in the lake avoid it, because it is not welcomed, this fish is extremely rare, and it is indeed not ordinary luck to catch it. ”

Li Hao smiled bitterly: "What should I do then?"

Teng Xing'an stopped laughing and said: "You must not catch it, otherwise this area of water will become extremely smelly, and the golden turtle will hide far away, you slowly let go of the fishing line and let it unhook itself." ”

Li Hao did so, and the arrogance and pride just now disappeared without a trace.

Xiangyu moved slowly, and after a long time he couldn't unhook himself, and he became sad.

At this time, the fishing line in Ye Yunyang's hand suddenly tightened, and he began to pull back.

Li Hao glanced at the position of the hook and said, "It won't be another Xiangyu, it's too close." ”

Indeed, the position of the hook and the Xiangyu is only a few tens of meters away, according to Teng Xing'an's argument, there can be no other aquatic animals around the Xiangyu, only the same kind do not dislike the Xiangyu.

Sure enough, a touch of yellow appeared under the water again.

Li Hao felt that he could turn over, even Ye Yunyang caught Xiangyu, who would dare to laugh at himself.

But half a minute later, when the golden shell of the turtle surfaced, there was only a wry smile on his face.
