CHAPTER 514: CHAPTER 505 GREAT LEADER 23

In the water, if there’s something that can instantly turn a person or animal into bones, it’s the Cannibal Fish! Generally, Cannibal Fish are not very large, but their teeth are sharp and extremely bloodthirsty. When they see prey, they swarm up and can strip a massive cow to bones in an instant.

Thinking about Cannibal Fish, Yan Shuangshuang suddenly had an idea. She got up and took a knife made from Earth King Beast Scale Armor, chopped down a section of a branch, removed the extra twigs, and tied a strong rope made of vine skin to one end.

After doing this, Yan Shuangshuang chopped down a piece of pork and tied the meat to the other end of the rope. Then, with a flick of the stick, she threw the meat tied to the rope directly into the river in front of her!

As soon as the bloody pork entered the river, Yan Shuangshuang started counting time in her heart. In less than three seconds, the water surface began to ripple, and the ripple grew larger and larger. In no time, the water surface looked like a boiling pot!

Countless big fish with sharp teeth floated to the surface along with the boiling river water, gathering in groups around the pork Yan Shuangshuang had thrown. These big fish, with mouths full of sharp teeth, rushed up when they smelled blood and bit into the pork that had entered the water.

Some fish couldn’t bite the pork in the water, so they jumped out of the water to bite the half of the pork that didn’t enter the water, and once they bit, they wouldn’t let go.

Seeing the fish biting the meat, Yan Shuangshuang almost instantly lifted the stick and flung the meat in the water to the shore. Along with the pork landed about a dozen Cannibal Fish, flopping and jumping on the shore!

The Hunting Team members were dumbfounded, watching Yan Shuangshuang almost catch ten or more big fat fish in the span of one breath, their brains stalling!

Looking at the big fish with mouths full of sharp teeth making biting motions, the Hunting Team members had no idea what was happening! After a long time passed, Ben was the first to react; he grabbed a fish and pried open its mouth to look, exclaiming in shock, "Isn’t this a Biting Fish?"

Yan Shuangshuang’s eyebrows twitched uncontrollably; primitive people’s naming skills sure are crude. Cannibal Fish bite people, so they’re called Biting Fish. Then, if they bite a tiger, what’s next, call them Tiger Biting Fish?

However, looking at the pile of Cannibal Fish on the shore, Yan Shuangshuang felt quite happy. This method of catching Cannibal Fish was learned by Yan Shuangshuang in a past life on Earth.

Back then, there was a travel show that recorded how the locals living in the Amazon Basin caught Cannibal Fish.

They held a piece of meat hooked with wire, squatted by the water with a bucket next to them. Every time they’d toss the meat into the water and immediately pull it back, flinging it into the bucket, they could catch about ten Cannibal Fish. Within minutes, they could catch a bucket full of fish, and due to the abundance, locals disdained eating Cannibal Fish.

The reason Cannibal Fish are so easy to catch relies on their nature: bloodthirsty—they swarm at the slightest scent of blood—and greedy; once they bite food, they won’t let go!

Right after thinking about Cannibal Fish in the river, Yan Shuangshuang remembered this method of catching fish, and sure enough, after trying it, she caught over a dozen big Cannibal Fish. It seems no matter what world you’re in, Cannibal Fish are always bloodthirsty, greedy, and foolish.

This river seems to have quite a few Cannibal Fish; otherwise, there wouldn’t be rumors of water monsters. Humans fear water monsters and dare not go near this river, which means these Cannibal Fish probably haven’t tasted human flesh. So Yan Shuangshuang can eat the fish and drink the fish soup without any psychological burden!

Thinking of the various ways to eat fish, Yan Shuangshuang cast the pork tied to the stick back into the river, then pulled it up. In that one throw and pull, several more fish landed on the shore.

Next, Yan Shuangshuang continued her throw and pull method, quickly piling up a heap of Cannibal Fish on the shore, filling her small backpack with a full load!

The Hunting Team Members watched eagerly, chopping branches, finding ropes, tying pork, catching Biting Fish! Although Biting Fish bite people, when tribe members bathe in other rivers and catch fish occasionally, they’ve found these fish delicious: meaty, few bones, and quite flavorful.

Previously, they hadn’t encountered so many Biting Fish, only occasionally seeing one when bathing, and Biting Fish in the water are powerful, agile, and quite combative, making them very difficult to catch.

The tribe seldom eats fish because they’re hard to catch—especially Biting Fish, which are fierce and challenging to catch. Seeing how easy they were to catch in this river made the Hunting Team wonder if their previous inability to catch Biting Fish was due to their incompetence.

Yan Shuangshuang watched the row of people busy catching fish, feeling very pleased. Fish meat is nutritious and very nourishing, perfect for the tribe members to eat.

Previous concerns about not having enough meat during the cold season were erased with these fish; now there’s no worry about meat consumption. Tribe members might even eat fish to the point of getting sick of it during the cold season!

With the Hunting Team members catching Cannibal Fish, it’s more than sufficient. Yan Shuangshuang, meanwhile, began looking for Flaming Grass to pick. With hunger satisfied, it’s time to cater to tastebuds. If you can eat well, why settle for eating tasteless food?

While picking, the Flaming Grass in her hands grew more and more numerous, and Yan Shuangshuang’s mood steadily improved. When she saw a bunch of thumb-sized purple berries, the big gift package in her mind suddenly beeped, reminding her there was edible vegetation ahead!

Yan Shuangshuang was startled, immediately checking the images in her mind. The image showed that the edible item was indeed these purple berries. The information beneath the image was still simple: "Flavor is spicy and stimulating. Note, spice level is S, might make you cry from the heat!"

Yan Shuangshuang paused, then carefully picked one of the purple berries, sniffed it, and a spicy smell hit her nose—even without breaking the skin, it was this pungent. It’s clear that the S-level spiciness might truly make one cry!

Yet within the spicy aroma, there was a unique and rich fragrance—not the scent of flowers and grasses, but the aroma that belonged to food.

Yan Shuangshuang loved spicy flavors, previously enjoying spice with every meal. However, upon arriving in this world, surviving was tough at first, leaving no room to consider spicy cravings.

Even though Yan Shuangshuang had gone without spice for a long time, perhaps reducing her tolerance for spiciness, her desire to enjoy spicy flavors had not changed.

Yan Shuangshuang took out a piece of jerky, carefully broke the berry’s skin, dabbed a tiny dot of juice on the jerky, and tentatively placed it in her mouth to chew. A spicy yet uniquely fragrant taste exploded on her taste buds, harmonizing with the seasoning on the jerky. It was delightful!
