Since the purpose of going out today was to find a fishing spot and try fishing, a process that takes time, the three of them did not plan to return to the camp at noon. They had already eaten and drunk their fill before setting off.
As the afternoon approached, Huang Jingyu was still fishing. He had already caught six fish, weighing about ten pounds each, so his enthusiasm for fishing remained high.
Er Ya's interest in fishing has waned. Huang Jingyu knows how to fish, Ye Zi is in charge of preparing the fish, and she has nothing to do.
On her way to find a fishing spot, she had already checked the area and found that there were no resources to collect nearby, and she didn't know how to hunt.
The feeling of reaping the benefits without sowing is growing stronger.
Although Huang Jingyu was fishing, he did not miss Er Ya's change in mindset.
Although Er Ya doesn't know how to fish, she brought the fishing gear herself. Looking at the already prepared fish, Er Ya is also contributing to the team.
Indeed, the fishing gear that Er Ya brought added seafood to the three's food list.
Never underestimate seafood, because sea fish contain salt and other trace elements, which are very important for the human body in wilderness survival situations.
Yellow Whale said:
"Er Ya is ruthless, but the fishing gear she brought is a huge help in her survival."
With these sea fish, we can ensure our intake of trace elements.
Why didn't I think to bring fishing gear? Girls really do have to be the most thoughtful!
Ye Zi nodded and said:
"Although I don't really understand what trace elements are, I do know that fish can provide us with fat, otherwise I would have been planning to find a bear or moose to get some fat."
Having worked in the entertainment industry for many years, Huang Jingyu and Ye Zi, who have lived two lives, noticed Er Ya's change in mentality and worked together to dispel Er Ya's psychological concerns.
"Looks like I should reward Er Ya properly, otherwise I'll have to go bear hunting with you," the yellow whale joked.
“That makes sense,” Ye Zi agreed, then looked at Er Ya and asked:
"Er Ya, is there anything you want?"
After listening to her two teammates' encouragement, Er Ya quickly regained her spirits and, upon hearing Ye Zi's question, smiled and said:
"There's nothing I want, and besides, given our circumstances, it's not possible."
Ye Zi slapped her forehead and said with a wry smile:
"That's true, even if you have these conditions..."
"Ding, host, a black bear has entered the detection range and is heading in this direction."
The system's sudden notification interrupted Ye Zi's words, simultaneously displaying a map of the black bear's location in his mind.
Ye Zi turned her head to look in the direction the black bear had come from, then said with a serious expression:
"Old Huang, stop fishing. Something's coming. It might be a bear."
"What?" Huang Jingyu and Er Ya asked at the same time.
"What do we do now?" Yellow Whale asked, putting away his fishing rod.
Er Ya also looked at Ye Zi with a nervous expression.
Ye Zi stared in the direction the black bear had come from; it was a forest, so she hadn't seen the bear yet.
He glanced around at the surroundings, then pointed in the opposite direction of the black bear and said:
"Old Huang, take Er Ya into the woods and hide in the trees. Adult bears are too heavy, and their claws are not enough to support them to climb trees, so it's safe in the trees. I'll cover the rear."
After Ye Zi finished speaking, she stood up and organized her weapons. She handed the bow and arrows to Huang Jingyu and then held the machete and axe in her hands.
Without saying a word, the yellow whale picked up his bow and arrow and dragged Er Ya away.
The three ignored the prey on the ground and retreated first, prioritizing their own safety.
They hadn't gone far when a black bear came into view.
"Quickly," Ye Zi shouted, her eyes fixed on the black bear.
The yellow whale pulled Er Ya to a tree with low branches, then drew its bow and aimed at the black bear, giving Er Ya time to climb the tree.
The black bear naturally saw Ye Zi and the other two, but its target was not humans. Instead, it sniffed and looked towards where Ye Zi was processing the prey and fish.
That spot not only contained prey and sea fish that had been prepared with leaves, but also a pile of entrails.
It was obvious that the black bear had come looking for the blood.
Er Ya hurriedly climbed the tree, and after regaining her balance, she immediately said:
"Old Huang, Ye Zi, come up here quickly." His voice trembled with anxiety.
"Old Huang, you go first," Ye Zi said, still staring at the black bear.
Without a word, the yellow whale put away its bow and arrows and immediately climbed the tree.
"Leaf, come up here."
Ye Zi turned around and used the axe in her hand to chop off the lower branches of the tree to ensure that the black bear could not climb up.
The leaf's actions startled the two people in the tree; Er Ya couldn't understand why the leaf was doing that.
The yellow whale asked incredulously:
"Ye Zi, are you crazy? You really want to attack the black bear?"
Ye Zi looked up at the two of them, grinned, and said:
"If a bear's paw is delivered to my door, I might as well eat it. Besides, I've been eyeing the bearskin bedding for a long time."
After saying that, he turned to look at the black bear, and at the same time asked the system in his mind:
"System, what are my chances of succeeding in a one-on-one fight against the black bear?"
“It’s huge. With your strength, you could easily smash it to death.”
"clear."
At this point, the black bear was less than ten meters away from Ye Zi and their prey.
The live stream chat exploded. Viewers heard Ye Zi mention that a bear might be approaching, and the drone was pointed at the direction Ye Zi was staring at.
When the black bear appeared, the screen was filled with comments like "Run!" and "The production team is here to help!"
The production team had already contacted and dispatched a rescue team the moment the black bear appeared.
Admittedly, Ye Zi has a track record of hunting wolves, but viewers in the live stream also jokingly think he has the ability to hunt bears. However, when actually facing a black bear, few viewers would want him to take action.
Because this survival show is not just a program, but also a competition, no one wants their country's contestants to have an accident because of the show.
Ye Zi took off his coat, picked up an axe in one hand and a knife in the other, and slowly walked towards the black bear. He only had this one piece of clothing, and it wouldn't be worth it if the bear tore it to pieces.
Seeing Ye Zi walking towards the black bear with his bare upper body, Er Ya in the tree was completely bewildered and could only stare blankly.
Yellow Whale looked conflicted, his gaze fixed on Ye Zi's retreating figure. Finally, he turned back to Er Ya and said:
“Climb a little higher. If something happens to us, just wait for the rescue to arrive in the tree. Don’t come down.”
Without waiting for Er Ya's reaction, he stepped down the tree branch.
Once on the ground, immediately draw your bow and arrow, aiming at the black bear, ready to fire at any moment.
The system's reminder appeared in Ye Zi's mind in time, and she slowed down and said to the yellow whale:
"Old Huang, if you come down here, Er Ya will be left without anyone to protect her. Go back, I can handle it."
"Come on, we agreed that when we were hunting bears, I would be in charge of ranged attacks and you would be in charge of close-range finishing blows. Now that we've run into each other, let's see if this combination works."
Don't worry about Er Ya; I've told her she can't come down until the results are in."
