After Little Gray finished eating,
it climbed next to the Gray-White Little Wolf and also began to sleep.
For a time, the cave fell silent.
The next day,
Su Lin, who had been resting with his eyes closed in the cave all night, woke up and first patrolled the cave as usual. After finding nothing unexpected, he let out a low howl and led Little Gray down from the cave.
Now, under the pitch-black Polar Night, Wolf Dad and Wolf Mom must also be short on food.
Su Lin originally wanted to take the remaining fish to Wolf Dad and Wolf Mom,
but when he woke up,
he saw Wolf Sister drooling while sleeping next to the Arctic Salmon.
This made him give up on the idea.
After all, with the vast Ice Sheet and Arctic Ocean, he could just catch some more.
Su Lin took Little Gray to the Ice Sheet again.
Along the way, he had Little Gray hunt a few Lemmings as bait to spread the blood. Little Gray was already quite skilled at hunting Lemmings.
There was no need to explain too much.
Soon,
Little Gray brought a few Lemming corpses to Su Lin as if asking for credit.
Next, he and Little Gray came to the Arctic Ice Sheet once again.
In the Arctic Circle, land only accounts for a small portion, and the largest area is the Ice Sheet.
It is full of white snow and ice.
It is also a paradise for various creatures to inhabit.
At the Ice Sheet, beautiful Auroras flickered faintly.
This time, there were many creatures inhabiting the Ice Sheet.
Seals, Sea Lions, and birds flying around on the sea.
Many birds migrated before the Polar Night arrived, so there were not many of these Flying Birds, and they were rarely seen under the Polar Night.
Su Lin glanced at these prey
and then withdrew his gaze.
Because they were not easy to hunt. Being able to survive under the Polar Night meant that they were very vigilant.
Su Lin looked around and did not find any traces of Polar Bears.
He then had Little Gray stand aside as a lookout.
Then he came to an opening in the Ice Sheet and began preparing to continue fishing.
The taste of fish was something that even Wolf Dad and Wolf Mom, who had been in this area for many years, had never experienced.
The Arctic Ocean is rich in Herring and Cod, but only the most ferocious fish are attracted to the scent of blood.
Su Lin took the Lemming that Little Gray had brought and used his sharp Wolf Claws to cut it open, making the Lemming's surface bloody.
Then he threw it into the opening in the Ice Sheet.
The rich scent of blood spread rapidly.
There were countless fish in the vast Arctic Ocean.
Before long, several fish attracted by the blood appeared.
These fish were all quite large.
They were forty to fifty centimeters long, with the largest being sixty to seventy centimeters.
These fish were scrambling to devour the Lemming's corpse.
Even the largest of the fish,
swished its tail and knocked an Arctic Salmon aside.
It wanted to enjoy the delicacy all to itself.
But the fish that could find their way by the scent of blood in a short time were all ferocious.
For a time,
the fish under the Ice Sheet fought and struggled for food.
Su Lin simply watched this scene quietly, waiting for the best opportunity.
Soon,
the largest fish drove the other fish away, revealing its sharp fangs as it bit into the Lemming's corpse.
At this moment, a glint flashed in Su Lin's eyes.
The sharp Wolf Claws on his right paw emerged from his fur.
Then, he struck fiercely at the fish closest to the opening in the Ice Sheet.
Wolf Claw entered the water,
and the seawater rippled.
Su Lin already had the experience from before, and this capture was very smooth.
Wolf Claw pierced fiercely into the fish's abdomen, which had few scales, and then he lifted it up with force, pulling the sixty to seventy centimeter fish out.
Once out of the seawater, no matter how much the fish struggled, its fate was sealed.
After several ruthless strikes, the fish was still.
This was also a Dogfish, but smaller than the one from yesterday.
Next, the fish under the Ice Sheet had already scattered.
But Su Lin once again gutted a Lemming and threw it into the sea.
Fish are rumored to only have seven seconds of memory.
In reality, their memory isn't that short.
The few fish from just now already knew there was danger here and didn't swim over again.
But Su Lin wasn't worried, because the Arctic Ocean had no shortage of fish.
At this moment, Su Lin looked up at the vast Ice Sheet,
and noticed that besides some animals inhabiting it, there was also a lot of marine debris.
The marine debris floating in the oceans, once it drifted to the Arctic Ocean and encountered the Ice Sheet, it was as if it had entered a dead end, accumulating here.
Su Lin glanced at the Lemming's corpse and saw that no fish had been attracted yet.
So he moved to the outermost edge of the Ice Sheet and looked at the marine debris.
There were many types of garbage, mostly plastic bags, cigarette butts, foam blocks, Fishing Nets, and glass bottles.
Su Lin rummaged through these marine debris for a bit and picked out a relatively intact small Fishing Net.
This Fishing Net could be used to hold the captured fish.
Otherwise,
only using his mouth to carry them, he and Little Gray could only catch two or three fish at most in one trip.
If he had a Fishing Net, he could catch more.
Carrying the Fishing Net, he returned to the Ice Sheet opening where he had thrown the Lemming's corpse.
Su Lin looked and saw that in a short while, there were two new Arctic Salmon.
Coincidentally, one of them was very close to the Ice Sheet opening, and this fish was also biting at the Lemming's corpse.
Without hesitation,
the sharp Wolf Claw flashed a cold light under the faint glow of the Aurora.
Slicing into the sea, Su Lin directly grabbed this small salmon, only thirty to forty centimeters long, and brought it up.
Then he threw it into the Fishing Net.
At this moment,
the other animals on the Ice Sheet
looked at Su Lin's actions, somewhat puzzled.
They were very curious as to why the captured fish were being put into that broken net.
Of course,
their intelligence would never be able to understand what a tool was.
At this moment, Su Lin also threw the dogfish he had caught earlier into the fishing net.
Next, he continued to wait at the edge of the Ice Sheet for the fish to be lured over.
This traditional fishing method was still very effective for Su Lin at the moment.
In less than two hours, he had used up all the Lemming bait he had prepared.
Su Lin also successfully harvested seven fish of varying sizes.
The largest of them was the dogfish he had caught at the beginning.
This dogfish also weighed about thirty pounds.
The remaining fish were all Arctic Salmon, ranging from thirty to fifty centimeters in length,
Weighing about forty pounds,
Adding up to more than seventy pounds of fish, he thought that if he brought these fish as a gift to Wolf Dad and Wolf Mom, it would definitely give them a pleasant surprise.
"Awoo!"
After the bait was used up, Su Lin howled softly, and Little Gray trotted over, ready to carry the fish.
"Snap!"
With a swipe of his Wolf Claw,
Su Lin didn't let Little Gray carry the fish individually, and began to teach Little Gray to carry the fishing net.
Sometimes, being stricter with animals living in nature can help them remember things faster.
"Awoo!"
Little Gray, whose intelligence was much higher than that of ordinary wolves, learned to drag the fishing net after Su Lin taught him a few times.
And he was surprised to find that he only needed to hold such a small piece of the net line, and all the fish would follow.
This seemed to open up a new worldview in Little Gray's mind.
