The reason why the yellow whale was sullen was actually quite simple.

Ye Zi did not bring a bow and arrows when she arrived, and apart from killing four wolves, she did not get any food.

Then he came, he came with a bow and arrow, nocked the arrow, and pheasant and rabbit were added to their menu.

Although his arrow shooting speed is not as fast as Leaf's, his hunting ability is indispensable.

Later, Er Ya came, bringing fishing gear, which increased his means of obtaining food.

After Ye Zi developed the flying stone skill, the bow and arrow became much less useful, and now he can't catch fish anymore, further diminishing his effectiveness.

In order to win the game, we now face the issue of reducing salt intake. It is foreseeable that in the future, the lack of salt will lead to physical weakness and reduced fighting ability.

It would be a miracle if you could be happy in a situation like this.

Er Ya took it all in stride. She was in charge of collecting materials, and her teammates shared the cooking and washing duties.

Just like I told Huang Jingyu in the message before I came, my main job is to be beautiful, and then I can just sit back and win.

She's calmed down now; winning is all that matters. The key is that she wants to do more, but there's really no opportunity to use her skills.

After hearing what the yellow whale said, Er Ya seemed to be deep in thought, while Ye Zi said indifferently:

"If I can't catch any fish, I'll stop fishing. I'll just soak up the sun and stretch my muscles. I was actually thinking of learning Jiu-Jitsu from you anyway."

The yellow whale instantly perked up and then said:

"I not only know Jiu-Jitsu, but I'm also quite good at wrestling. Do you want me to teach you both?"

"Come on, do you really think Mongolian wrestling is just for show? It's just that the real killer moves can't be used. I'll just learn some jujitsu."

The yellow whale suddenly realized:

"I forgot, you're Mongolian. Horse riding, archery, and wrestling are almost instinctive for you. You've been doing them since you were a child."

However, Jiu-Jitsu does have its merits.

The topic of conversation between Ye Zi and Er Ya turned to martial arts and combat, when Er Ya suddenly spoke up:

"It seems like this is the season when salmon migrate back."

"What?" x2

"Salmon, a type of fish from Alaska, is said to be particularly plump and delicious. Before I came, I looked up information online, and it seems that this is the season when they migrate back to spawn."

"We can catch salmon," Er Ya explained.

"Is that really true? Isn't that like caviar delivered right to your door?" Ye Zi exclaimed in surprise.

He was completely unfamiliar with Alaska and didn't even have the chance to do any research. The game started in the sea near Alaska.

The yellow whale immediately said:

"It is indeed this season when salmon return to their upper reaches to spawn, and this is also the best time for bears to store fat for winter."

Standing at the fault line in the riverbed, waiting for the salmon to leap out of the water and then biting it is practically the same as putting it in your mouth.

Er Ya nodded and said:

“That’s right, so we also have a chance to catch salmon, and we’ll catch a lot, enough to last us through the winter.”

Ye Zi grinned and said:

"Catch fish to replenish salt, and beat up a bear, and you'll have everything you need for the winter."

Er Ya glanced helplessly at Ye Zi. This girl always wanted to beat up a brown bear. But then again, of the three of them, only Ye Zi didn't have winter clothes yet.

Although Ye Zi explained her plans, it all boils down to hitting Xiong; it's just a matter of time.

However, Ye Zi does have the ability to kill a brown bear. Putting aside his terrifying strength, his ability to throw stones alone is enough to kill a brown bear.

He then introduced:

"Salmon are deep-sea fish and are anadromous. They spawn in streams and rivers in the upper reaches of freshwater rivers and then return to the ocean to fatten up."

Furthermore, "salmon" is a general term; salmon and trout are also types of salmon.

"The salmon from sashimi?" Yezi continued to ask.

Er Ya nodded.

The yellow whale said happily:

"These fishing opportunities are raining down on us, and we must not let them slip by."

But then again, Er Ya, you have a wealth of knowledge.

"What? I found this online before I came. I thought about it for a while before I remembered it."

"Regardless, it's good that you remembered. Since we have such an opportunity, we certainly can't let it pass. Let's get ready and set off together to find a place to catch fish."

The plan to catch salmon was unanimously approved.

Then the three of them discussed what to bring. First, they decided on a tinderbox and a pot, because they would be traveling together, so the pot was essential, since they weren't sure when they would return.

Besides the pot, furs for bedding are also essential, because we will definitely be spending the night outdoors, and without bedding, it will be very cold at night, and there is a risk of catching a cold.

Then there are the tools.

In the final inventory, the three of them were practically moving house. Apart from the smoked meat in the storage room and the campsite that they couldn't take, they took almost everything else.

Then the three of them were dumbfounded. Their broken home was worth a fortune, but they never expected there to be so many things.

"How about I stay and guard the camp?" Er Ya said helplessly.

"We originally planned to go out for a walk together to relax, but now it seems that plan is not very reliable." Huang Jingyu was equally helpless.

Er Ya stayed behind; it wasn't safe for a girl to stay alone. He and Ye Zi definitely had to leave one of them behind.

Catching salmon might lead to encounters with brown bears. Facing a brown bear, he's basically just asking for trouble. He can only hope that the brown bear prefers salmon, otherwise he's doomed.

Only Ye Zi has the ability to take on the brown bear one-on-one, so without a doubt, he'll be the one left standing.

Ye Zi thought for a moment and said:

“I know there’s a river nearby, not very big, enough for us to make a round trip in a day, and we’ll still have time to catch fish.”

Tomorrow I'll go see if there are any salmon. If there are, then we'll go catch them together the day after tomorrow. If not…

Er Ya and Huang Jingyu understood that if there was no fish, then Ye Zi would have to go out to catch fish while they stayed behind at the camp.

However, going out to catch fish together requires bringing too much stuff, so Yezi's method is better.

If Yezi goes out alone, it's much easier: an axe, a machete, a tinderbox, and a leather rope—that's all.

Nothing happened that night. The next morning, after breakfast, Yezi set off.

The target is the stream that the system mentioned when we were looking for the campsite.

It was called a stream, but when Yezi got closer, she realized it was a small river.

Salmon don't just migrate to spawn along one route; Alaska has many rivers that extend to the sea, and the salmon population is equally large.

Therefore, there is a high probability that Ye Zi will find salmon in that stream.

Moreover, the three of them don't need a lot; catching a few dozen would be enough. They don't win the competition solely by eating fish.

After Ye Zi left, the yellow whale said:

"Why do I feel more and more like I'm on vacation here?"

"It's kind of interesting. What, haven't you gotten used to it yet?" Er Ya asked casually.

"I really didn't get used to it. I thought I was a key player, but when I arrived I found out I was just riding on someone else's coattails. And then I realized it was more like a vacation."
