"Yes!! I'm also very puzzled by this."

"We were so lucky at the beginning, every trap we set was triggered, and we almost always got something out of it."

"These past two days have been really strange. None of the traps have been set, and we haven't caught a single prey."

"If we keep having this bad luck, I think we're not far from being eliminated..."

He Jianguo was full of confidence at the beginning, but now he is as dejected as a wilted eggplant!

The confidence I regained some time ago has almost been lost again.

"Yes!! What should we do now?"

"How about we try fishing?"

"After eating wild boar meat for so long, it would be nice to change things up," Wu Jing said after a moment's thought.

When they chose their survival tools, they opted for fishing equipment, but they haven't used it much since arriving on the island due to good luck.

Since traps are currently failing to catch prey, perhaps fishing could solve the current predicament.

As long as I get through this period of bad luck, I'll definitely be back to my peak form...

"Yes, you're right."

"Not catching any prey these past few days has not only affected our will to survive, but also the way we think."

"You can't put all your eggs in one basket; you have to try putting your eggs in several baskets." He Jianguo quickly nodded in agreement.

Speaking of which, I've been eating wild boar meat for a while now, and I'm definitely getting a bit tired of it.

If we can catch a few plump, big fish, things might improve!

When a person is in a good mood, their luck will naturally improve as well.

After discussing what to do next, the two of them didn't dare to slack off at all and immediately picked up their fishing gear and headed to the beach.

Because the resources are more abundant by the sea, the chances of catching fish are also higher.

The place where they landed was different from the place where Chen Fan and the others landed!

It doesn't have those steep rocky outcrops, but rather a flat beach, making it a perfect place for a relaxing trip.

After acquiring their gear, the two quickly arrived at the beach.

"Old He, look! There are lots of little footprints on the beach, they look like they were left by little crabs!"

Upon arriving at the beach, Wu Jing quickly made a new discovery.

There were countless tiny footprints on the beach, which looked like they were left by crabs.

"It does look very similar; it must have been left by a small sand crab."

"If we can catch some sand crabs today, then our harvest will be quite good!" He Jianguo quickly said.

After eating so much wild boar meat, even sand crabs taste incredibly delicious.

"Do you have any skills in this area?" Wu Jing asked.

Although his physical condition is indeed good, and he also has a background in martial arts.

However, they are not very good at setting traps.

He Jianguo handled the trap-setting for the past 20 days.

"Piece of cake, leave this to me."

"Go fishing over there, and let's try to have a good catch tonight..."

"Then we can have a delicious seafood feast." He Jianguo was in high spirits and immediately took on the task of catching shrimp and crabs.

I'm already fantasizing about the seafood feast tonight!

Barring any unforeseen circumstances, the delivery should be excellent...

"Okay! I've fished a few times before, so I have some experience. I shouldn't come back empty-handed."

Wu Jing was also full of confidence.

After digging up some earthworms on the island, I headed to the sea to go fishing.

He Jianguo also started his own work.

Actually, catching sand crabs isn't difficult; if you have time, you can do it in no time.

Generally, you need several large buckets, which are buried in the sand.

Fix a branch in the middle of the top, and then put the bait in the middle...

However, since there are no readily available survival tools, we can only make them with our own hands.

This didn't stump He Jianguo, and he quickly came up with a brilliant plan.

They immediately returned to the shelter and retrieved a large quantity of bamboo, which they then split into strips for later use!

Find two thick vines, twist them into a circle, and then wrap the bamboo strips around them one by one.

Two horizontal strips are added to the outside of the bamboo strip to secure it...

In this way, a simple wooden bucket is completed, which looks a bit like the wooden bucket used by Shaolin Temple to carry water for kung fu practice.

It's definitely not as sturdy as other sand crabs, but it should be more than enough for catching them...

After making the tools, He Jianguo immediately dug a hole in the beach and buried the bamboo tube inside.

Then spread sand evenly around the perimeter!

The bait is also very simple; just find some dead fish and shrimp around you.

The stench emanating from this thing is indeed unbearable, but it is a favorite of sand crabs.

*Smack! Smack!*

After finishing everything, He Jianguo clapped his hands in satisfaction.

"Excellent! Excellent! My wisdom is truly amazing."

"If I can't survive for six months, I'll feel like I've let myself down."

Admiring his masterpiece, he couldn't help but praise himself.

The trap is now set; all we need to do is wait patiently!

I'll check the delivery again this evening...

He Jianguo then walked over to Wu Jing.

"My trap is set. How's the delivery going?"

"Not bad, I caught a few fish that didn't look very big, they looked a bit like tilapia!"

...

Wu Jing also quickly showed off her work.

A total of four fish were caught, the largest of which was about the size of an octagon.

But this fish isn't round; it's flat, which looks very strange!

However, the protein it contains is absolutely excellent.

There were also a few small tilapia, which were quite small and didn't have much meat.

"Not bad! Looks like our luck has turned around."

"See, things are getting better little by little!"

Looking at the protein in front of him, He Jianguo finally smiled, a smile he hadn't shown in a long time.

"Yes! How was your harvest?" Wu Jing nodded happily and then asked.

"I don't think it will be too bad."

"Want to play a couple of rounds?" Wu Jing asked with a smile.

Harvesting food in this wilderness always brings joy.

Even though they only caught a few small fish, it still gave them hope to keep going!

“Okay, I’ll take two casts!” He Jianguo nodded and then took over from Wu Jing to start fishing.

Wu Jing, of course, didn't sit idle either, and began to explore the surrounding area.

It seems the tide came in yesterday; a lot of seashells were blown ashore on the beach. Some were empty shells, while others had meat inside.

Besides some dead fish that are inedible, there were also some fresh shrimp and cat's eye snails.

These are all very delicious seafood...

For them, who had been starving for two or three days, this was definitely a delicacy.
