Chapter 77: Golden Threadfin Bream
When Zhang Tie came back to the tree with the mining basket on his back, he found that Barley,
Doug, Hista, Bagdad, and Sharwin had already returned. As Leit was on duty for the second half
of the night, he was tired and was currently resting under the tree.
Once Zhang Tie saw the listless faces of Doug and Sharwin, he realized that the five must have
obtained nothing at all. For several green birds who lacked experience, catching prey for the
first time was pretty unlikely.
Sitting under that Dragon-Claw Tree, they turned around and saw Zhang Tie’s ugly mining
basket.
“You’re really going to be a miner?” Barley asked.
“Of course, look at my equipment. Oh, I encountered Glaze’s group near Wild Wolf Castle
today!” Zhang Tie said.
Hearing Zhang Tie’s words, the rest became nervous.
“Did they give you trouble?” Leit asked.
“They dare to push around our brother? Let’s go and find them to settle the score right now!”
Doug directly picked himself up from the ground, intending to go get his weapon.
Zhang Tie hurriedly pressed down on Doug’s shoulder. “They didn’t bully me. Actually, it was
me who bullied them a bit!”
“You bullied them!?” Barley cried out. “Did you wound them?”
“No!”
“Then what happened?”
At their request, Zhang Tie told them what had happened between him and Glaze’s group in the
square. Hearing that Glaze’s group were chased out of the square as people threw wild
vegetables and fruits at them, all the members of the Hit-Plane Brotherhood laughed out loudly
as they rolled here and there on the ground.
Hista had even laughed so hard he began to tear up. “Haha! That’s too marvelous, truly too
marvelous! I really want to see their expressions at that moment!”
“For several men to use wolf hides to make love, that’s too disgusting, too dirty! But, I like it.
The group of brothers laughed for a long time before they, one by one, stopped smiling and got
down to business.
“Take care of yourself. After this incident, I’m afraid Glaze’s group might take revenge on you
more fiercely!” Seeing Zhang Tie, Barley seriously said. “Perhaps for you to be working in the
mines over there is a good choice. The mines over there are not too far away from Wild Wolf
Castle, and there are always people going and coming over there. Glaze’s group of four wouldn’t
dare to recklessly look for you to give you trouble. However, whenever you are alone in the wild,
they might try to plot against you. That Zuhair guy is definitely a poison snake who can come
up with many vicious tricks!”
Zhang Tie casually shrugged his shoulders. “Forget them. Even if today’s incident didn’t
happen, their group of four wouldn’t have let me off anyways. Let’s talk about something else.
How were your harvests today?”
The ones who went hunting today all spread their hands with the palm side up. “Don’t mention
it. We saw some preys, but before we even caught up to them, they had already escaped...”
Sharwin helplessly said.
“And those wild wolves… They are too cunning. It won’t be easy at all for us to catch them.
Trying to capture a boar, Bagdad almost fell into a ravine...”
“There were too many people hunting over there, so many of the prey were already scared
away!”
“Bringing the “Iron Gate T21” over there is also a good option, but it’s too heavy. If we bring it
“Grab them. We’ll clean them in the stream over there. After we remove their scales and
innards, we can boil them in the pot...” Zhang Tie hurriedly grabbed the most lively fish, while
the other two fish were consecutively grabbed by the other two drooling, horny animals.
Barley had also grabbed one of the fish. When he saw the golden line on the back of the fish, he
exclaimed, “No way! It’s a golden threadfin bream!”
“You know this fish? We can’t eat it?” Zhang Tie became worried. If these fish couldn’t be
the pine nuts inside. Zhang Tie picked a well-roasted pine cone and threw it to Doug. Drooling,
Doug opened the pine cone and started to chew on the pine nut as he mumbled:
“Bighead, so to say, does this mean that even if you don’t do anything, you would still be able to
easily get 1 kg of food every day?”
“Haha, if I get less than 1 kg of fish a day, then it will belong to me, but if I get more than 1 kg of
fish a day, then I will share the rest with you guys. It isn’t just me who has enough food, but
everyone!” Zhang Tie explained as he smiled. “Actually, I think we should still think over it.
There are still many kinds of hunting methods. For example, Glaze has a powerful fighting
force, so he directly catches his prey. There’s also that bowman that you guys saw. He’s
extraordinary at archery, so he uses his bow to shoot his prey. Then there’s Burwick. I heard
that there are many people around him, so he takes advantage of their large numbers to catch
prey. We can definitely learn from them. If we want to gather food and catch prey, then we have
to use our strengths. None of us brothers could match Glaze when it comes to fighting strength,
and neither could we match the number of people by Burwick’s side. Since we are new here, we
need to take some time to adapt to the environment and accumulate experience. I think we can
take advantage of the time the others are using to adapt to the environment to try out some
special methods!”
Hearing Zhang Tie’s words, everybody’s eyes began to shine.
“What do you think is the best method for us to use to hunt prey?” Leit asked.
“Others are using archery, their fighting strength, and the advantage in numbers. How about
we try laying traps?” Zhang Tie suggested...
