Chapter 88: While fishing on the lake, they also wiped out the entire bee colony.
Lu Xuan hovered above the lake, admiring it quietly for a moment, until his heartbeat returned to a normal rhythm before turning around and flying towards the shore. He then slowly descended and jumped off the hoverboard.
At this point, the viewers in the live stream also calmed down.
[This lake is so big, now the streamer doesn't have to worry about running out of water during the hottest season.]
Indeed, even if the extreme heat lasts for a year or two, let alone a few months, the water here would never dry up.
[It's rare to find such a beautiful lake, how about the host takes a swim around it?]
Lu Xuan said, "Swimming isn't urgent, but we could certainly swim in the lake."
Audience: ?
Lu Xuan walked to the lakeside and waved his hand. One after another, kayaks of different colors and models lined up on the lakeside.
Most of these kayaks were drawn from silver blind boxes, with one or two being drawn as a guaranteed drop from regular blind boxes.
Kayaks come in all sizes, the smallest being only two meters long and 1.2 meters wide. Excluding the inflatable bladder, it can only accommodate one adult.
If you're lying down, it can only accommodate elderly people and children who are no more than 1.5 meters tall.
Larger ones, three meters long, four meters long, and even more than five meters long, approaching six meters long, with a width of one and a half to two meters, are the standard style. There are also round or octagonal ones with sunshades, similar to modern life rafts.
The largest model is big enough for seven or eight able-bodied young men to lie down comfortably inside. If you're sitting, you can squeeze in twenty people.
These are further divided into manual and motorized boats.
Lu Xuan drew a total of eight kayaks and only two motorboats, one three meters long and the other nearly six meters long. The latter was obtained from the daily silver ten-pull guaranteed 100-pull.
The price of kayaks also varies greatly.
The original price of a small manual boat is basically a few thousand, while a small motorboat costs tens of thousands.
Large manual kayaks and small motorized kayaks are priced similarly, but if it's a motorized kayak, the price will rise to around 30,000 yuan, which is the maximum price for a kayak.
Lu Xuan tried out different models of kayaks, and then took out a pile of tents.
We have everything from single tents to double tents and family tents.
The tents are priced at no more than 500 points, and they are all ordinary blind box items. There are more of them than kayaks, totaling more than twenty.
Tents and kayaks are not a matching set, but their models can be matched, and the kayaks even have special alloy buckles for attaching tents.
Lu Xuan installed a tent on each kayak according to its size.
When needed, the tent can be set up to provide shade and shelter from the rain; when not needed, it can be folded up and used as a 'convertible' boat, making it very flexible.
After setting up the tent, Lu Xuan put the rest of the kayaks away, leaving only one three-meter-long one. He jumped on it, sat down, removed the alloy paddles attached to both sides of the kayak, and slowly paddled into the lake.
There is almost no vegetation around the lake on the mountaintop, so there is no shade at all. Under the direct sunlight, the temperature is much higher than in the forest.
Having a tent makes all the difference.
The tent is inexpensive but made of high-quality materials, providing better shade than trees, and the temperature inside is at least ten degrees cooler than outside.
However, the breathability is indeed quite poor, and it's inevitable to feel stuffy and hot after staying inside for a long time.
Lu Xuan took out several shallow plastic boxes and placed them around himself, condensing them into boxes of ice. The temperature inside the tent quickly dropped to the most comfortable level for the human body.
Lu Xuan rowed the boat while turning his head to look at the lake.
The lake water near the shore is only about 20 to 30 meters deep, but it gets deeper as you go further in, reaching a depth of over 100 meters in the deepest part.
Viewers in the live stream could only see a depth of about ten meters through the screen, and many large fish could be seen swimming leisurely in the emerald green lake.
[Slurp, these fish look so plump, they look delicious.]
[Is the streamer really planning to cruise the lake at such a leisurely pace?]
Lu Xuan: "Of course not."
As the old saying goes, "Since we're already here..."
With the prey right in front of us, wouldn't it be a waste not to grab it?
He circled the nearby waters, chose a spot where fish congregated, and cast his electronic fishing net into the lake.
The fishing net, which had a certain weight, quickly sank into the water, catching a large number of lake fish.
Lu Xuan seized the opportunity and pressed the net-reeling button. The fishing net quickly closed, trapping the fish that couldn't escape in time, and was then swiftly retrieved.
Feeling the heavy weight coming down, Lu Xuan's arm muscles tensed involuntarily, and he increased his strength.
The audience stared wide-eyed at the approaching shadow at the bottom of the lake, discovering that the net of fish was actually larger than the kayak Lu Xuan was currently sitting in, and the kayak simply couldn't hold it all.
Lu Xuan had no intention of bringing the fish onto the boat.
Just as the fishing net was about to be pulled out of the lake, he casually collected the entire net of fish into the carnivorous spatial bead.
The space can't hold any live creatures; the fish die as soon as they're put in. When you take them out and process them, they're just like freshly killed fish, saving you the trouble of swatting them to death.
Lu Xuan then used the same method to set the net twice more.
Unlike some famous modern lakes where only cold-water fish live, this mountain is not very high and the lake water temperature is not very low, so many common warm-water fish live in the lake.
The main fish species include grass carp, silver carp, catfish, and common carp, as well as some fish that Lu Xuan couldn't name, and shrimp such as grass prawns and prawns.
After three nets of fishing, Lu Xuan had obtained a total of about 1,200 catties of different kinds of fish and shrimp.
Although the hunting team had previously caught several hundred kilograms of fish at the waterfall, those fish had to be shared among the entire village.
Today, these more than 1,000 catties of fish belong to Lu Xuan personally.
There are so many fish, enough to feed their family of four for a long time.
After catching the fish, Lu Xuan glanced at the time displayed in the live stream.
I left home at the beginning of the morning, around 5 a.m. It took me about half an hour to reach the top of the mountain. After that, I checked the kayaks and fished. It's 7:30 now.
The temperature at this time was far from the midday high; in fact, it was the coolest time of day, making it a good time to collect supplies.
On the way here, Lu Xuan had already discovered a lot of resources, but he was so engrossed in skateboarding that he didn't stop.
Now that we've found our destination, it's time to get down to business.
He took out his hoverboard again, stepped on it, and leaped down the mountainside towards his target.

In one morning, Lu Xuan hunted a herd of goats, a herd of deer, and two litters of wild boars.
To conserve energy, he instantly froze his prey and stored them in his spatial storage, making the battle almost effortless.
In addition, he also found two unripe wild grapevines, a small clump of wild strawberries, a small patch of fennel, some common herbs, and several wild and bird eggs, etc.
Most importantly, Lu Xuan found several medium-sized beehives and obtained more than 60 catties of honey.
He had no shortage of other supplies and didn't care much about distributing them, but honey was something he couldn't obtain in large quantities, so if he wanted to eat his fill, he could only try to get as much as possible when he went out alone.
Getting over 60 kilograms on the first day is certainly a good harvest, but it's still just a drop in the ocean.
So when Lu Xuan was preparing to go back this time, he also took the entire bee colony with him.
The viewers in the live stream couldn't help but give him a thumbs up after learning about his plans.
It's one thing to steal food from bees, but for the sake of sustainable development, you even rob them of their bee mouths!
However, considering that the streamers will never lack honey, which also means they will have an endless supply of related delicacies, all the viewers can say is: Well done!
After returning to the mountaintop, Lu Xuan placed the single-person safe house on a flat area about ten meters from the shore as his base for the next few days.
Over the next few days, he planned to search for supplies in all directions, centered around the high mountains and lakes.
Lu Xuan didn't prepare anything new for lunch; it was all food that had been prepared beforehand: a large bucket of rice with a bowl of sweet and sour pork ribs, braised pork knuckle, and pickled bamboo shoots.
The viewers in the live stream enjoyed another delicious meal.
After the meal, Lu Xuan brought out two chilled watermelons.
Eating chilled watermelon on a hot day is incredibly refreshing.
The viewers in the live stream kept eating and exclaimed how delicious it was.
At midday, the temperature on the mountaintop approached 55 degrees Celsius, at which point it would be virtually impossible for animals with thick fur to continue moving around outside.
In the afternoon, Lu Xuan stayed at the lodging and first cleaned up the game he had caught that morning, sorting out the fur, meat, and bones and putting them away neatly.
After dealing with his prey, Lu Xuan continued to encourage the growth of the seeds in his hand.
Continuously transfer supernatural energy to accelerate growth, accelerate growth again, and accelerate growth once more. Keep the mutated ones, and continue to transfer supernatural energy to the unmutated ones or change the seeds.
As the sun set, Lu Xuan had three more mutated vegetable varieties in his hands: spicy radish, cucumber, and bell pepper. As for staple foods, only two mutated rice plants had mutated, while wheat, glutinous rice, and sorghum showed no signs of mutation.
But it doesn't matter, there's plenty of time later.
In the evening, the temperature dropped to 45 degrees Celsius, which was the lowest temperature of the day.
By this time, the wild animals should be coming out to roam again, so Lu Xuan went down the mountain once more.
This time, he followed the tributaries that branched off from the main river and, as expected, found many animals out foraging for food and water.
There are many kinds of animals, including roe deer, muntjacs, wild boars, raccoon dogs, and weasels.
Needless to say, Lu Xuan easily spotted more than a dozen pheasants and rabbits hiding in the dense grass.
He didn't even bother picking up the pebbles; he simply condensed a row of ice arrows and shot them out, catching almost all the animals lingering nearby, except for very small ones like squirrels.
These prey weren't particularly special, nor did they taste especially delicious, but soon Lu Xuan found a flock of wild ducks and discovered a small lake in the area where the ducks were active, along with a group of wild black swans swimming in the lake.
Lu Xuan wasn't particularly interested in swan meat, but he had never eaten swan eggs.
I wonder which tastes better, the egg or the goose egg.
He searched the surrounding bushes and finally found swan eggs, which looked distinctly different from chicken and duck eggs, in a few relatively hidden corners.
Lu Xuan checked the eggs against the sunlight to see if they were fertilized. If they were, he kept them and only took the unfertilized ones.
Perhaps it was the wrong season, but Lu Xuan only found less than ten swan eggs, of which only four were unfertilized, just enough for one egg for each member of his family.
Fortunately, in addition to the swan eggs, Lu Xuan also collected quite a few duck eggs.
There were far more duck eggs than swan eggs, filling half a basket.
By the time Lu Xuan returned to his temporary residence, it was already completely dark.
While he took out dinner for the audience to watch and eat, he also opened the daily discount page of the online store.
