Chapter 306 Fishing and Hunting
The 101st day of birth.
"Brother Chen, why don't you just stand by and watch? With your luck, it's a waste of resources to occupy a fishing rod!"
Seeing Yi Chen catch another kelp, Bai Jue boredly played with his hair with his index finger.
"Don't worry about it! I don't believe I can't catch even one fish!"
Yi Chen's face was dark, he took the kelp off the hook and gritted his teeth.
It has been a day since Bai Jue made the fishing rod.
During this period, Yi Chen was fishing except for eating, sleeping and going to the toilet at night.
But in the end, he didn't catch even one fish from beginning to end.
However, with the effect of casting the rod, he still caught a lot of strange things.
Among them, there are human creations, such as smelly shoes, mineral water bottles, fishing nets...
Others, there are some marine plants, such as kelp and seaweed, which are the largest in number.
In addition, there are some common things in the ocean, such as corals, shells, and conchs.
Of course, conchs only have shells, and no meat inside.
So, from beginning to end, Yichen has not been able to catch a decent fish. It can be said that his luck is ridiculous.
During this day, Cang Nian dived to the bottom of the sea again and caught a few sea spiders and brought them back to Bai Jue as materials for making fishing rods.
In order to improve hunting efficiency, Cang Nian made new fishing rods after Bai Jue's spiritual power recovered. Now a total of 30 rods have been made, but only 12 can be used now.
Because these fishing rods are strictly in line with the game, not only have the effect of throwing the rod to get the hook, and the rod must be reeled in, but also have durability.
Every time you throw a hook, the durability will decrease a little.
If you reel in the line and land, the durability will be consumed according to the strength of the prey, the size of the prey, and the strength of the prey's struggle.
The stronger the prey, the larger the prey, the greater the struggle, and the greater the durability of the fishing rod.
For example, the great white shark yesterday was a third-level prey, with strong strength, large size, and amazing struggle. After it was caught, the durability of the fishing rod was almost exhausted.
Therefore, in order to reduce the durability loss of the fishing rod, Cang Nian asked Qin Changyi and other third-level evolvers to only cast the rod and not take the hook and reel in the line.
Cang Nian himself, as well as Tiger Dad, Tiger Mom, Tiger Brother, Black King Snake, Little Sable, and Little Snow Ferret, soaked in the sea water, guarded near the fish float, waiting for the prey to be attracted by the fish hook.
Then, when they were attracted by the fish hook and lost their mind, they sneak attacked them, killed them, and then put them into the storage space by the little sable.
This set of simple tactics is particularly useful in practical applications.
Those various evolved creatures attracted by the fish hook are like losing their minds, not alert to the external environment, and bite the hook.
Although Cang Nian's family is not aquatic animals, they are good at water. Their combat effectiveness in the sea water has not been greatly reduced, and it is very easy to sneak attack and kill prey.
During this process, Cang Nian killed as many prey as possible to accumulate more proficiency in his skill of killing.
After a day of fishing, Cang Nian had a rough estimate of the probability of Bai Jue's fishing rod catching prey.
After casting the rod, how long it takes to catch a fish is actually not fixed.
Sometimes, it takes two and a half minutes to catch a fish, and sometimes it may not come in two and a half hours.
After all, this is reality after all. It is not like "Minecraft", where a fish appears out of thin air in the water and is hung on the fishhook. Instead, it requires a real fish or other things to swim or float near the fishhook and be hooked by it.
And the things that are caught also have a general pattern.
Generally, 50% of the things are messy and useless, like smelly shoes, plastic bottles, and fishing nets.
Then, the other half of the things are living things, half of which are plants and half are animals.
Among the half of the animals, 50% are first-order evolved creatures, 40% are second-order evolved creatures, and only 10% are third-order evolved creatures.
Overall, there is only a 25% chance that what comes up is an animal, and only a 1/40 chance that what comes up is a third-order evolved creature.
As for ordinary creatures, Cang Nian found that there seemed to be no ordinary creatures in the ocean.
This is not difficult to understand.
Even the ordinary people among the survivors of Kangcheng and Mucheng now eat a high proportion of the flesh and blood of evolved creatures.
With the intake of evolved meat, the physical fitness of ordinary people is also improving. Now they are no longer exactly the same as before the spiritual energy revival, in the strict sense of ordinary people.
It is the same in the ocean. Under the most primitive and purest relationship of eating and being eaten, the evolutionary factors are circulated in different organisms, promoting their evolution.
It has been almost two and a half months since the spiritual energy revival tide, and ordinary creatures have become rare.
As for Bai Jue and Qin Changyi, the first rod came up and a third-order evolved creature came up, which can only be attributed to good luck.
However, Yi Chen, that guy, cast hundreds of rods in a day, did not catch a real creature, which made Cang Nian a little less confident in the probability he summarized.
But fortunately, every time he caught something, there was no real fish, so the durability of his fishing rod was reduced and the consumption was very small, so that he has not used up a single fishing rod yet.
Originally, seeing Yichen holding a fishing rod was a waste of resources, Cang Nian was going to let him give the fishing rod to another third-level evolver.
But seeing his red eyes, he knew that if he didn't catch a fish, he would be in a state of inner demon, so Cang Nian could only let him go.
Anyway, Bai Jue's current fishing rods are enough. Twelve fishing rods are used at the same time. If there is any movement near the float, he can go forward to check the situation.
If it is an animal fish, Cang Nian will go forward to kill it directly regardless of whether it is first-level, second-level or third-level.
For the third-level fish, let the little sable put it in the storage space, and when the hunting is over, go ashore to distribute it with Qin Changyi and others.
For the first-level and second-level fish, it depends on the situation.
If it has not been hooked yet, after Cang Nian kills the target, let the black king snake eat it.
If it has been hooked and is still hanging on the hook after killing, let the evolver holding the rod pull it to the shore.
In this way, it can be used as a source of food for the migrating team.
The evolutionary level of marine life is generally higher and the size is larger. An ordinary second-level fish can also weigh hundreds of kilograms, and the large ones can exceed one ton, which is enough for thousands of people to consume in a day.
The ordinary people in the migration team, as well as other evolvers, were not idle either.
They held containers and searched for various creatures that were washed ashore at high tide but could not return to the sea at low tide and were stranded.
Before, when migrating in the snow, the extremely cold environment alone was enough to kill them. They could only be protected by evolvers, and even the food was hunted by evolvers.
Now, they have the conditions to be self-reliant, and everyone has hands and feet, so naturally they will not continue to sit back and enjoy the fruits of others' labor.
