When Zhang Tie carried Mining Basket back to Tree House, we went hunting together today Barry, Doug, Sista, Baghdad, and Shavin have returned. Light stayed at the base for the rest of the night last night. It was a bit tiring, so today I will stay at the base to take a rest.

As soon as he saw the listless faces of Doug and Shavin, Zhang Tie knew that the five of them would have caught nothing today. Several rookie Battle Worker, who had never hunted before, wanted to get the prey back for the first time, so the possibility was too low.

Seeing the ugly Mining Basket Zhang Tie was carrying, several people sitting next to the fire under Dragon Claw Tree turned their heads.

"Did you really become a miner?" Barry asked.

"I have brought all the equipment back, so I can still have some fake ones. By the way, I met Gelis and the others at Wild Wolf Castle's place today!" Zhang Tie said.

As soon as they heard that Zhang Tie had met Gelis and the others, several people from Airplane Brotherhood became nervous.

"Did they make things difficult for you?" Light asked.

"If you dare to bully our brothers, let's go, we will go to them to settle the score now!" Doug stood up directly and went to get the guy.

Zhang Tie quickly pressed Doug's shoulders, "They didn't bully me, but I bullied them at that time!"

"You bully them?" Barry shouted, "Are they all hurt?"

"No!"

"What's going on?"

So Zhang Tie recounted the scene where he and Gelis were in the square. When they heard that Gelis's group was thrown out of the square with wild vegetables and fruits, the Brotherhood guys were rolling on the ground laughing one by one.

This guy Sista burst into tears with laughter, "Ha... ha... that's so wonderful, so wonderful. I really want to see the expressions of those Gelis guys at that time!"

"It's a wolfskin that some men use to do business. It's so disgusting and dirty, but I like it, ha... ha..." Baghdad slapped his thigh hard.

"I really can't believe that Big Head, a guy like you who is usually honest, can do something like this at a critical moment. This move is so vicious. In this trial, Gelis probably won't be able to find a girl willing to partner with them., Ha... Ha... I have decided that if I encounter such a situation in the future, I will also use this trick to deal with those annoying guys, which is more relieving than slapping them!" Sista said with a crooked smile.

The guys at Brotherhood laughed for a long time before they all stopped laughing and talked about business.

"Be careful. After this, I'm worried that Gelis will retaliate even more fiercely against you in the future!" Looking at Zhang Tie, Barry said seriously, "Maybe it's a good choice for you to go mining. Those mines are not far away from Wild Wolf Castle Far away, there are so many people coming and going around, Gelis people don't dare to openly look for trouble with you, if you really go to the wild, you might be plotted by Gelis people at some point, that Zu Haier guy is a poisonous snake, he can think of any conspiracy!"

Zhang Tie shrugged calmly, "Whatever, even if it hadn't happened today, I don't think Gelis would give up on taking revenge on me. Let's talk about something else. How was your harvest today?"

The guys who went hunting today all spread their hands, "Forget it, I saw several prey in the middle, but before we could catch up, those prey ran away..." Shavin said helplessly.

"And those wild wolves are too cunning and difficult to catch up with. In order to chase a wild boar, Baghdad almost fell into the ravine..."

"There were too many guys hunting together, and many of the prey were scared away!"

"Perhaps it would be a good choice to bring Iron Gate-T21, but this thing is too heavy. If you take it with you, it will seriously affect your mobility. This thing is only suitable for waiting!"

"By the way, today we met a guy who was very powerful. He brought a bow and hunted two wild deer in one afternoon. The guy looked as good as Gelis!"

Several guys were talking in a flurry of words. As they said this, what happened to them this afternoon came to Zhang Tie's mind. It was really sad.

"By the way, what did you gain today?" Barry asked Zhang Tie, then looked at the Mining Basket Zhang Tie was carrying, and frowned slightly, "Is there anything moving inside?"

Hearing Barry say this, Zhang Tie patted his head and remembered that Mining Basket he was carrying on his back had not yet put it down, and he had not taken out the things yet.

"I almost forgot, I'll treat everyone to fish soup tonight!" Zhang Tie smiled...

When they heard about fish, several people's eyes lit up. Even in Black Flame City, this fish meat is very expensive. Several people can't eat it several times a year, let alone come here.

"You got the fish, but it may not be enough. We have seven..." Barry just said this, and then his eyes popped out, because Zhang Tie directly untied Mining Basket and poured out the contents one after another. The three big fish Zhang Tie used water plants They were strung together. Although they had been out of the water for more than 20 minutes, they were all still alive. As soon as they were put on the ground, two fish were sucking in big mouths of air and twitching the ground with their tails, and another fish jumped violently on the ground. Not only Barry, the eyes of several other animals bulged out. These three fish together weighed seven or eight kilograms, which was enough for everyone to eat.

"Hurry up and catch the fish, one for each person, wash them in the stream over there, disembowel them and scrape off their scales before putting them in the pot..." Zhang Tie quickly caught the fish that jumped the most happily, and the other two fish were also caught by several drooling animals in a hurry.

Barry also caught one of them. When Barry saw the golden thread on the fish clearly, the fat man shouted happily, "No way, Golden Thread Fish..."

"Do you know this kind of fish? Why, is this fish inedible?" Zhang Tie became worried. If he caught a few inedible fish, he would be wronged Big Head.

"Ha... ha... this is the most delicious freshwater fish you can eat in Black Flame City. Brothers, you are in for a treat tonight..." Barry laughed.

All the guys cheered. Seeing that there would be fish to eat in the evening, all the guys who were originally depressed suddenly became excited and started working around a few fishes. They boiled water, added firewood, and killed fish. For a time, the whole Treehouse Base was filled with laughter and laughter. When handling fish in the past few days by the stream, Doug This fool's hand slipped and the fish in his hand slipped into the creek. The fish immediately slipped away as soon as it landed in the water. Fortunately, the creek was not wide and the water was only twenty or thirty centimeters deep. After several people hurriedly caught it, they finally caught the fish again. Although everyone was mostly wet, they were all very happy.

"Don't throw away the tripe you took out from the bellies of these fish. Pick it up in leaves first and leave it to me. I can still use it!" Seeing that Light cut open the belly of the fish and was about to throw away the stuff inside, Zhang Tie quickly stopped Sista, then went to find some huge leaves and wrapped up the tripe of the three fishes.

"These things can't be eaten, so why are they left here?" Doug asked curiously.

"Just because we don't eat it doesn't mean that other animals don't eat it!" Zhang Tie smiled mysteriously...

The processed Golden Thread Fish was cut into pieces and put into a pot of boiling water. Shavin found a handful of wild peppercorns and sprinkled it in, and added a little salt. After a while, when the water in the pot boiled again, a mouth-watering aroma of rich fish soup floated out from the pot. The color of the fish soup also became like a pot of milk, which greatly increased people's appetite.

This dinner made everyone want to lick the bottom of the pot clean. Three fishes and a pot of soup were eaten by everyone until every drop was left. Golden Thread Fish was indeed delicious. Except for Barry, it was the first time for everyone to eat such delicious food.

After drinking and eating, everyone sat by the fire and chatted. Due to everyone's curiosity, Zhang Tie unreservedly told the principle of setting up his fish trap and its location. Hearing that Zhang Tie had effortlessly caught so many big fish in this way, all the livestock were dumbfounded.

Zhang Tie fiddled with the firewood pile under the big pot with a stick, roasting pine cones while talking. The pine cones he grabbed today were buried in the ashes of the firewood pile. When the solid pine cones expanded due to heat, the pine nuts inside were exposed. After coming out, Zhang Tie picked out a roasted pine cone and threw it to Doug. Doug opened the pine cone with drooling saliva, found the pine cone and started eating it, talking vaguely while eating it.

"So, Big Head, you don't have to do anything from now on. The food source of one kilogram per day is already provided?"

"Haha, if the fish caught in that place is less than one kilogram, it belongs to me, and if it exceeds one kilogram, it belongs to everyone. It's not that my food source is secured, but that everyone's source is secured!" Zhang Tie said with a smile, not caring about this food at all, " In fact, I think you can think about it carefully. There are many ways to hunt. Gelis has strong combat power and can fight with prey. The guy you saw with a bow and arrow has extraordinary archery skills and can use bow and arrow to hunt. I heard that Bulwick There are many people around, and that guy is taking advantage of this to practice large-scale hunting tactics. It can be seen that if you want to get food and prey, you must combine your own advantages and specialties. None of our brothers can compare with in terms of argumentative power. Gelis, in terms of number of people, is not as large as the people at Bulwick. Everyone is new here, and it will take a certain amount of time to adapt to the environment and accumulate experience, so I think everyone can use this period of time for others to adapt to the environment to find new ways and try other methods!"

Everyone's eyes slowly lit up.

"What kind of hunting route do you think is more suitable for us to take?" Light asked.

"Others are playing the tactics of bow and arrow flow, force flow, and crowd flow. How about we try the trap flow!" Zhang Tie put forward his own suggestion...
