Chapter 170: Chapter 170: Forked Fish

Translator: 549690339

While Qin Xue was focusing on training, Chu Molin was also undergoing intensive special training.

Deng Kai and the others came to a small river, and the water was quite clear, with small fish swimming around. There should be some bigger fish, right?

“You guys see there should be fish in this river, right?” Deng Kai looked around.

Ding Xi also came over and took a look: “I see fish. You guys keep an eye on the surroundings, and I’ll go find a tree branch to catch the fish.” “l think it’s a good idea, or we can’t survive on just our dry rations.

So I think when they set the route for us,

they must have planned for us to get food from the fish in the river and the water, as well as wild chickens and rabbits in the mountains.

So we must replenish as much as possible when we find food supplies.

We don’t need a lot, but we have to make it through these three days, right? What do you guys think?” Wei Shaohui seemed to know Chu Molin well.

Because the food Chu Molin had set up was exactly what Wei Shaohui said!

“l think so too. You guys keep watch. I’ll go find a tree branch,” Ding Xi said with a smile.

“Xi, I’ll go with you.” Deng Kai followed Ding Xi and left.

The remaining three people filled their water bottles before sitting down to rest. They had been through quite a ordeal that night.

It was already difficult to walk in the woods, let alone at night, and they were afraid of snakes, so they had to carry sticks to knock and beat around, making them very tired.

After resting for a bit, the three of them gathered some firewood, ready to cook the fish once they caught it!

“We’re back.” Ding Xi and Deng Kai each had a long, sharpened branch in their hands.

“We’ve collected firewood.” Cheng Hu gestured at the firewood.

Ding Xi and Deng Kai looked in the direction Cheng Hu pointed out, and indeed, there was a pile of firewood. Cheng Hu was one of the two people who collected it.

“Alright, we’ll go catch fish now. You guys get ready to grill them,” Ding Xi said, waving the stick in his hand.

The two of them walked into the river about knee-deep and began looking for

fish, silently waiting for fish to swim by.

Surprisingly, the two of them didn’t have to wait too long before they caught fish. Although the fish were only three or four fingers wide, they were quite satisfied.

Deng Kai removed the fish from the branch and threw it onshore.

Soon after, Ding Xi also caught a fish and threw it onshore once removed from the branch.

The three people onshore picked up the fish and used the dagger they carried with them to scale them, open their bellies, and remove their gills.

Once the fish were cleaned, they skewered them on the prepared sticks and started a fire to grill them.

Seeing that they were already grilling the fish, Deng Kai and Ding Xi didn’t go ashore but continued to catch fish in the water.

That’s because they not only wanted to eat their fill but also have one fish per person to keep with them in case of need.

Other than the grilled ones, the rest were cleaned and put into their backpacks.

Only a few hours had passed in the 72, and if they weren’t prepared, it would be difficult for them to make it through the remaining journey.

So they couldn’t eat their dry rations and had to collect as much food as possible now.

After they finished eating the grilled fish, they stomped on the fire to put it out.

Only after they made sure the fire was extinguished did they pick up their backpacks and continue on the next stretch of the journey.

After they left, Chu Molin jumped down from the tree.

Watching their retreating figures, Chu Molin picked up the stick they had used to catch fish and entered the water!

The fish in this river were really abundant! They had just caught more than ten fish.

And now Chu Molin caught another fish in no time.

Chu Molin thought the fish on the stick was big enough for him to eat half full, so he didn’t plan to catch more.

He took out his dagger and cleaned the fish effortlessly.

He then started a fire with the remaining firewood left by Ding Xi and the others and grilled the fish.

The water quality at this time was not polluted, and the fish was very delicious. In no time, the fish began to release a fragrant aroma.

It was just a pity that there were no seasonings or salt, but this was very normal for them who often carried out missions.

Having something to eat was already good enough, and no one would be picky, so Chu Molin wouldn’t be either.

After finishing the fish, Chu Molin put out the fire, then discarded the stick for catching fish and the firewood.

As for those who come after him, they’ll have to find and make their own.

Chu Molin would not let them pick up easy meals, which would not be in line with his intentions. Therefore, the people who came later could only rely on their own skills to find and make food..
