Chapter 1124 Quick, Let's Go Down

4466 Although I don’t know if this is true, I still had a glimmer of hope just now.

If the eagle falcon really won't come again in a short time, if they go fishing now, they will definitely be able to catch some food, and they won't have to starve.

Unexpectedly.

After this try, the eagle falcon actually left.

"Quick, let's get down."

4466 quickly greeted the remaining men.

Since the eagles and falcons won't come out in a short time, they quickly catch some fish, preferably all the food they have for the past few days.

They have such a small number of people, and together with the following two, they only have nine people.

If the two people who went down in front were not eaten by the eagles and falcons, their current number should be eleven.

A fish as big as a palm can be enough for one person to live for a day if stewed in soup.

It's been more than ten days since winter.

If they follow the normal months, I believe spring will arrive in a few days, and they will not have to face this kind of food shortage.

The men slid down slowly along the rope.

The rope is very long.

It took a few people more than half an hour to slide down from the empty island.

"Boom."

4466's feet were on the ice, his face a little excited.

He also came down to the ice. There are many people in the World Channel who have never gone down to the ice because it is too dangerous down there.

"Find a slightly concave place. Where was the iron drill just now?"

4466 sighed for a moment and immediately began to give instructions.

They need to catch fish in a short time, otherwise the eight of them may stay here and sleep here.

As for the other one, it is for venting from above.

Although it is dangerous above the ice, there are also many dangers above. One person needs to guard the island and be careful of being robbed by other air pirates.

There are not many valuable things on the empty island, but it is a safe haven for them. Otherwise, when encountering falcons, they can only stay on the ice and be beaten passively.

If there is an empty island above that approaches them, the people staying on top will call them to be prepared.

A subordinate picked up the circular iron ring and handed it to 4466.

Take the hoop.

4466 said with some emotion: "This thing is really expensive. This is our daily ration. If we don't get some food this time, we will suffer a big loss."

As he spoke, he tapped the stick back and forth on the ice.

"Dong dong dong."

The tapping sound of the ice was very dull, indicating that it was very thick underneath, and it would take a lot of effort and more time for them to pry it open.

Keep tapping.

Soon.

4466 felt that the sound of knocking had changed.

The tapping sound of the ice beneath my feet was a little different from other places. It was a little hollow, or it was no longer the muffled sound it had been before.

"Right here."

4466 immediately decided to dig here.

The ice is thin, which saves a lot of time and effort when cutting through. They have time to catch more fish and avoid attacks by eagles and falcons.

"yes."

The three men took over the iron hoop, pointed the tip at the ice, and plunged it down hard.

The iron hoop immediately pierced down to the length of one finger.

The three of them did not hesitate, and followed the master's instructions, holding the handle of the iron ring and spinning vigorously in place.

Magical things happen.

During the circle, tiny ice chips slowly emerged from the originally hard ice layer, and the iron circle penetrated deeper again.

The men were greatly encouraged and turned harder and harder.

Because this thing is only about half a meter long, and the round shape is only as big as a head. It was already half submerged in a short time, and it was very difficult to use any more force.

The three of them turned the iron hoop more than half way down. Even though they were standing on the ice, their foreheads were still covered with sweat, and their thick cotton-padded jackets looked extremely hot.

"Change a group."

Seeing this, 4466 quickly ordered the next group to be replaced.

There are eight of them now, and there are seven if he is removed. These seven can take turns, and there is no need to worry about being slow.

but.

The main reason is that their hoops are not very big.

After drilling to the bottom in one place, the seawater still didn't come up, so they had to drill down again next to it to widen the ice cave.

finally.

After taking an hour.

An ice cave that was almost cone-shaped slowly took shape under their hands, and seawater surged up from time to time.

4466 was overjoyed.

"Did it work?"

"Master, it's ready."

"That's good, that's good. Hurry up and pick up all the fishing rods you prepared and put the bait on. We can eat fresh big fish later."

4466 encouraged his men, but he sat aside.

"yes."

The men were also a little excited. After spending a few minutes sorting it out, they started fishing.

Seeing this, 4466 raised his head with some worry and scanned the sky.

He felt a little uneasy.

I don’t know if I have been down there for a long time, and I have to be careful about the sudden appearance of a falcon at any time, or what is the anxiety caused by it.

There was still heavy snowfall in the sky, which never stopped.

It was very quiet, as if there was no danger, which made 4466 feel more at ease and comforted himself.

"An ancient emperor once said that there are always unscrupulous people who want to harm me. I feel the same now. Will I also become an emperor in the future?"

"If I become the emperor, I will have to have three thousand concubines in my harem, and sleep with one every day until I am exhausted. As for attending court... Haha, I am the emperor, why should I attend court?"

"Forces like the Merchant Alliance and the World Government must also have three thousand beauties in their harems. They are really well hidden, and no news has been exposed yet."

4466 talked to himself, looking at his subordinates not far away from him.

He was diverting his attention.

"Master, the first fish is caught."

Several fishing rods were put down not long ago, and fish were immediately hooked.

4466's eyes lit up, and he quickly got up and ran over.

I saw a fish half the size of a palm, at the bottom of the fishing rod and fishing line, still struggling and jumping, and it looked very fresh.

"Tsk, why is it so small."

4466 looked down on it, but a smile still appeared on his face.

This was their first harvest, which showed that if they continued like this, they would eventually be able to catch food for several days.

Taking the small fish, 4466 played with it in his hands, thinking about how to eat it?

Stew it in soup?

Such a big pot of soup would be enough for them to drink for a long time.

But the fish bones would be wasted. If they were fried until golden and crispy, they would not even have to spit out the fish bones. This would be the most economical way...

Thinking in his mind.

Time passed by bit by bit.

At this moment.

Something strange happened.

Among the many fishing rods, one of them shook violently, making the man holding the fishing rod a little unstable.
