For the next period of time, everyone will continue to maintain their current lifestyle with Xueyan.
Fortunately, Xueyan now has the leader's permission and will not launch an attack on Lu Yuan and his group.
However, the way these snow swallows stared at them with wide eyes every day made everyone feel a chill in their hearts.
After all, these big guys were watching them like a falcon, and Lu Yuan was most worried about whether these snow swallows would attack them if their leader was not around one day.
Fortunately, the snow swallows do not attack them proactively. After observing them for a period of time, everyone finally discovered the behavioral rules of these snow swallows.
Especially after Lu Yuan and his group learned about the situation, these snow swallows often followed them from a distance, as if they were going hunting with them.
Faced with these adorable yet somewhat frightening snow swallows, Lu Yuan and the others could only express their helplessness.
On this day, Lu Yuan used silkworm silk to make a line, and then found a fishhook and some chicken meat as bait to fish.
Fishing rods are made of a very strong type of bamboo.
This bamboo was found in the forest. The top of the bamboo was nearly 100 meters long. After cutting down one, Lu Yuan and the others made a lot of fishing rods.
The fishing line was tied to the other end of the post, and after the fish was hooked on the other end, it was thrown into the water with a strong throw. After a while, the water surface was like a pot boiling.
What could be clearly seen with the naked eye were dozens of huge fish, desperately fighting for the bait. When Lu Yuan and his family saw this, they felt a sudden urge to grab their fishing rods.
Lu Yuan could even hear the intense biting sound from underwater from the water's edge.
Bubbles rose on the surface of the small body of water, and then a huge fish swallowed the hook. Fortunately, the fishing line was quite strong.
The fishhook pierced deep into the fish's lower jaw, and Lu Yuan felt a tremendous force pull him into the water.
"It's been bitten! Help!"
As soon as Lu Yuan finished speaking, the crowd behind him surrounded him, some grabbing his waist, others pulling him back with their fishing rods.
Fortunately, this bamboo pole is much stronger than the bamboo poles from before the apocalypse. Even after being bent at a 45-degree angle, the fishing pole still showed no signs of breaking.
Lu Yuan could feel just how powerful the bamboo pole was. He held the pole with one gloved hand and gripped the top of the pole tightly with the other, pulling it back with both hands.
However, the fish in the river was incredibly powerful. Even with Lu Yuan's strength increased by dozens of times compared to other people, he might not be able to defeat it.
His family members pulled with all their might behind him. Lu Yuan didn't know how big the fish in the water was, but he felt that it must weigh at least 100 kilograms.
Thus began a tug-of-war, with the fish sometimes gaining the upper hand and dragging everyone along.
Sometimes they had the upper hand and dragged the fish away.
After a back-and-forth struggle lasting half an hour, the large fish underwater was finally exhausted and had no strength left to fight back.
Lu Yuan and his family members frantically dragged their fishing rods toward the shore.
Zhou Tong and a few others stood on the pebbles on the shore, watching the fish. When the fishing line was pulled out, the big fish finally appeared.
A giant carp, nearly five meters long, appeared before everyone. Upon seeing the carp, everyone's face showed a look of astonishment.
They had never seen such a huge carp before, but they guessed there were crystals inside its head.
After everyone worked hard to drag the big carp ashore, they finally managed to gut and clean it, cut it into pieces, salted it, and dried it.
This way, they can eat it whenever they want, and making it into salted dried fish ensures that the fish won't smell bad.
A giant carp, five meters long and weighing a staggering two thousand kilograms, weighing two tons, shocked everyone with its enormous size.
This fish is relatively thin, but it has a large skeleton. If it were a larger fish with firmer flesh, it would probably weigh more.
The pile of fish bones that had been shaved off became food for the snow swallows, who squatted in front of the skeleton, picking at the bits of meat on it.
Fortunately, Lu Yuan and his group hadn't kicked the snow completely, leaving some remnants. To express their gratitude to their neighbors, Lu Yuan specifically picked out the pieces of fish and threw them to the snow swallows.
The first snow swallows fluttered their wings and began scrambling for the various intestines and livers that had been pulled from the fish's body.
After everything was taken and cleaned up, the scene returned to normal order.
Lu Yuan looked at everyone, all drenched in sweat and panting heavily, and shook his head helplessly.
"It seems that fishing like this isn't very effective. We've only caught one fish in over half an hour. We need a better way to fish!"
After a moment of contemplation, Lu's father, who was smoking a cigarette, said, "If you ask me, we should just set up a fishing net on the riverbank and use it to catch all the fish. That way, we can have a continuous supply of the fish we want to eat from the river!"
