Chapter 523: Iceland Shock (57)

"How many fishing rods do we have left, how many hooks and how much fishing line?"

Sixty meters into the Thingvadra Lake, under the dark, flaky volcanic rocks at the shallower bottom of the lake, there is a cave that no one could have imagined. The cave is not high, and the highest point can only accommodate an adult standing bent over. Underfoot is a layer of salty lake water that can reach a person's knees. The dark green is filled with silvery filthy foam, which looks like severely polluted stagnant water and broken fish. The corpse was heaving in the sewage. The fish intestines, maw, swim bladder, and gills were all red, black, white, and black.

Obviously there was no fluctuation in this stagnant water, but these bloody fish debris seemed to be pushed by the tide, and they piled up and rushed toward the southeast corner of the cave. But when they reached nearly half of the cave, they piled up in layers, and the fish intestines were entangled. The fish bones were attached, the swim bladder stirred the fish's gills, and it was covered with silvery white foam. The bubbles burst one by one, giving the pile of offal a subtle sense of movement, as if it was not a collection of offal, but some kind of weird and dirty monster. The gill threads are spread out on the foam, just like squirming red worms.

However, no matter how they clustered, squeezed, or moved, they could not cross the defense line.

This 'defense line' consists of four silver-black fishing rods connected end to end, wrapped with fishing lines, and blocked horizontally in the middle of the cave water surface.

On the other side of the defense line, in the water, were Miao Fangfei and others, who were hunched over and alert.

"There are still twenty-five meters of fishing line, seven fishhooks, but only three fishing rods left."

Shao Yuan whispered: "There is not enough rotation."

The four fishing rods will block the fish carcasses and debris, but they will be quietly polluted, and must be rotated every five minutes. Otherwise, the fishing rod will possess ‘reason’ and become the salmon’s accomplice. Miao Fangfei and others didn't know this at first. This was how Di Feiyu's fishing rod and Yin Guangyuan's fishing rod became 'rebellious'. Fortunately, except for the partial damage to the dry suits of several people, there were no casualties for the time being. The mutinous fishing rods were also suppressed again, but they were temporarily unusable.

Among the ten people, only Miao Fangfei lost her fishing rod completely. It was really thrilling at that time.

"Hey, we can't wait any longer."

A giant black wolf howled. The cave was too narrow for him. Walker curled up in the water and rarely allowed Miao Fangfei and the others to sit on him or on his belly. Walker's human form was really too tall and strong. If you want to make a cave where an ordinary person bends down can suffocate him to death, turning into a wolf is better, but it also takes up too much space, so this is the only solution.

He was very grumpy and yelled at the group of bastards: "That woman and that boy didn't come back after they went out, and they won't be reliable if they come back. Maybe they are salmon!"

"Wait for the last two minutes."

Miao Fangfei and Shao Yuan looked at each other and made up their minds.

"There can't be any fewer people in the team, otherwise it will be difficult for us not to fall into the trap when we encounter the fraudster Salmon again."

"Oh, these damn, damn fish, I'm going to smash them all up!"

After hearing what she said, even the impatient Walker didn't say he was leaving, but just cursed Salmon again.

They've been killed badly by arctic char.

Back in time, when there was still no news a quarter of an hour after Guide Bing left, and they didn't catch a fish, Miao Fangfei decided to go into the water. Before going into the water, she went to ask the visitor center, but the answer she got was still 'nothing'. question'

"God, can't you see the salmon in the lake? Those white waves

At the place where fishing rods are rented at the visitor center, the staff who listened to Miao Fangfei and others asked several times felt that they did not believe them, and their faces drooped, but they were still patient with them and shook their heads firmly: "No, no bait at all, you just need to throw Throw the hook in with the rod, and if there are too many fish, they will bite the hook themselves, and they can’t even wait for two minutes!”

"In fact, we locals used to fish on the lake without even using fishing rods. They just tied a wooden stick to a line and hung a hook. Even children knew how to fish. Ah, I mean, of course, now we are renting fishing rods seriously. It’s definitely better. Although there are really many fish in our lake, we can definitely catch faster with a good fishing rod.”

The staff seemed to have a fake smile on their face. Not to mention the wild fishing they just blurted out, they enthusiastically recommended to them more advanced fishing rods, which required more Icelandic kronor to rent professional fishing rods.

"If you want to catch the biggest Arctic char, you must use this Spear of Odin!"

"How much?"

"Priceless, Odin's Spear is a priceless fishing rod, but you are also our distinguished guests, so you can rent it if you want."

The staff member smiled broadly: "It's more like a fun activity. Whoever can spend all the Icelandic crowns they have can rent Odin's Spear for fishing once."

Shao Yuan asked at that time: "Even if we only have one Icelandic Krona with us?"

"Yes, even if you only have one Icelandic crown."

The staff member smiled and said: "But it must be all the money. God hates being cheated."

"Let's think about it again."

The staff member's tone was profound and his dark eyes inexplicably sent chills down the spine. When Miao Fangfei declined politely and only bought a roll of fishing line and a dozen fish hooks, his eyes looked at her as cold as ice. But the look was fleeting, as fast as an illusion. The next second he put on his warm business smile again: "Okay, welcome to visit next time."

'Do you believe it? ’

'I believe'

There was a spiritual heart Gu on the way back, and the two of them communicated quickly and understood each other tacitly.

‘There are several possibilities’

‘What the staff said should not be a lie. Only the Spear of Odin can catch a two-meter-long Arctic char.’

But as long as everyone uses all the Icelandic kronor on them, they can rent the Spear of Odin and catch one. This scenic spot task is too simple.

‘Maybe only one two-meter-long Arctic char can be ‘caught’. Others can use the Spear of Odin to catch smaller Arctic char. In this case, if they want to achieve the highest task completion, they have to go into the water.’

Or it may take a long time to fish with the Spear of Odin, and they don’t have time for everyone to use the Spear of Odin to fish.

Shao Yuan initially inferred that in order to push the task completion of the Thingvaldra Lake wild fishing attraction to the highest level, everyone in their team must catch a two-meter Arctic char.

‘The Spear of Odin is a shortcut.’

Miao Fangfei sorted out her own views: ‘It is in line with our difficulty. ’

Not with the devil merchant team, just based on the comprehensive difficulty of the East District tourists of Miao Fangfei's team, the fishing task itself will not be difficult. According to Miao Fangfei's rich experience in the grassroots and the scattered teams, this kind of scenic spot task is usually not dangerous.

Like the two clues mentioned by the staff, it is possible to catch Arctic char in the lake. One is to use a wild rod, and the other is to use the Spear of Odin.

The risk of the wild rod is to hide it from the patrolling staff and not be discovered by them, and the wild rod is likely to not catch too big Arctic char.

The Spear of Odin looks like a shortcut, but it is very similar to the trap that the hotel usually digs for tourists. If there are timid and unwilling to take risks, or simple-minded and inconsiderate, or impatient and greedy tourists who choose this route, and spend all the Icelandic kronor at this scenic spot, they will definitely suffer more soon.

There are many things that need to spend money, such as tonight's snowmobile to cross the Gland Glacier.

Although there is glacier hiking on the itinerary, there is no snowmobile to cross the Gland Glacier! Careless travelers can easily confuse them because both of them contain glaciers. However, judging from the fact that they ride Icelandic horses, it is very likely that snowmobiles will also be charged tonight!

The fee may not be high, but if the travelers use up all their Icelandic krona on fishing, they will never be able to afford it. Without snowmobiles, how can they get to the glacier adventure hotel tonight? Cross the glacier on foot? That is a life-or-death danger!

If the people before can survive, they will never have a fluke mentality again. The hotel is like raising Gu, screening out a bunch of "qualified" travelers.

Miao Fangfei said: "Try it with a wild fishing rod when you go back."

"Yeah"

Shao Yuan responded, and then laughed: "You can concentrate the money on one person, and leave one Icelandic krona for each of the others."

The travelers are all masters of reading comprehension. When Shao Yuan asked tentatively, the staff gave a positive answer, "Even if you only have one Icelandic krona", which shows that this method is feasible.

But there are tests everywhere in the scenic spots, and the staff are not well-intentioned.

If they do this, and concentrate the money on one person, and everyone else rents the Spear of Odin while that person uses the wild fishing rod, they can indeed keep the most money and get the highest possible completion of the scenic spot.

But there will be potential cracks in the team. Perhaps the bigger the fish, the more rewards they get, and the person who does not use the Spear of Odin is simply sacrificing for the team, which is fine. Shao Yuan suspected that the staff repeatedly emphasized "all your money", probably meaning that if the money is transferred to other people, it will not be counted as their own money.

In other words, the money of all the people in the team really belongs to that person, which will definitely cause some minor friction, and there will be more places to use the money afterwards, and that person may have to pay for it. In this way, if the situation today happens again, someone wants to use a wild fishing rod and someone wants to rent a luxury fishing rod, it is impossible for them to do it according to their own way. If they want to unify their opinions, there will be more and more conflicts. If the person who controls all the money does not have enough prestige, the whole team will fall apart if they are not careful.

But if it is a formed team rather than a disbanded group, this method maximizes the benefits. Although the hostel encourages travelers to fight each other, it also likes the team that remains united under various provocations and tests. If there is a team that is extremely united from beginning to end and the captain has high prestige, then they can speed up the journey in this way with small losses and high profits.

There are only two or three elite teams like this in the Sunset Brigade. Shao Yuan has experienced it personally, so he thought of it immediately.

Shao Yuan believes that although their team is a scattered team and there are unstable factors of the top travelers in the West District, they can try this method.

Because there is an absolute core figure in their team, Director C. Under the leadership of Director C, especially after renting the best Icelandic horse, the team has a feeling that "problems that can be solved with money are not problems" and "Director C is not short of money = everyone is not short of money."

When knowing that Director C still has a lot of gold cards, even Walker can pay the money happily. He believes that even if he pays now, Director C will see his goodness and will definitely double his compensation in the future.

‘And I have a suspicion that the Spear of Odin is more than just a fishing rod’

Seeing Miao Fangfei still hesitating and about to return to the fishing spot, Shao Yuan finally said what he thought was the most important reason.

How could a fishing rod be called the Spear of Odin for no reason? Together with the one-eyed doctor Old Mark, Shao Yuan believed that the Spear of Odin was definitely a special fishing rod!

‘Not only should we rent it, we’d better find a way to buy it! Or rent it for a long time! ’

Hearing Shao Yuan's excitement, Miao Fangfei, who had been silent all this time, finally sighed: 'I also think that the Spear of Odin is not as simple as a fishing rod'

'So we can't use it to fish. '

As if she had made a decision, Miao Fangfei was no longer silent, and she spoke decisively and firmly, emphasizing: 'Especially, you can't use it to catch salmon'

'You can't use it to catch salmon? '

Shao Yuan's mind was quick, and he thought of what Miao Fangfei said, but he couldn't believe it: 'No way, this, this shouldn't be-'

'Let's try wild fishing first'

Miao Fangfei whispered: 'Let's see after we catch the salmon'

Shao Yuan still frowned, and Miao Fangfei said meaningfully: 'This is salmon after all'

Before setting off, Shao Yuan and Miao Fangfei memorized the information given by Bai Xiaosheng very well, even including the obscure ancient poems such as the Poetic Edda, especially the various mythological stories including Loki, which they memorized by heart. In particular, Miao Fangfei secretly remembered that Director C liked fluffy things and remembered clearly the animals that Loki had transformed into.

Loki was a very good magician and shapeshifter. It was recorded in Norse mythology that he had transformed into creatures such as salmon, seals, mares and flies. Now that Director C had already involved horses, Miao Fangfei was particularly concerned about other creatures, especially when the staff recommended that they use the Spear of Odin to fish for salmon.

Salmon.

If they really used the Spear of Odin, would they only catch salmon?

Or - would they catch Director C?

Besides, Odin and Loki had a bad relationship. Was the Spear of Odin really just a fishing rod? Would the fishing rod really crack directly from the middle after catching Director C, revealing the true form of the Spear of Odin, and stabbing Director C to death in one fell swoop? !

Although the tour guide would not die in the warm-up competition, Miao Fangfei was worried that Director C's identities related to Loki, such as the Loki Flame and the Loki Mare, would be annihilated by the Spear of Odin! And that piece of the original giant meat, Odin stabbed the giant Ymir to death with a spear!

Although Miao Fangfei couldn't help but imagine that she was a little excited when she cast the rod to catch the beautiful salmon, she was more nervous and became more vigilant.

We have to tell this to Director Bing.

After they went back, Miao Fangfei saw that Yu Hehui was not here, thinking that she was monitoring Old Mark in the infirmary, so she kept calm, twisted a tuft of fox hair and called Yu Hehui while just saying to continue fishing. Fishing is a scenic spot task. Although Walker complained loudly, he still sat down and fished honestly.

Then Miao Fangfei used the spirit heart Gu to tell everyone that the wild hook might be able to catch fish. All the tourists were excited and formed a circle intentionally or unintentionally. Walker turned into a wolf to let the wind out. After the patrol staff passed by, Miao Fangfei really got a harvest-she caught a palm-sized Arctic salmon with only fishing line and hook!

The park is full of tundra meadows and volcanic rocks, with almost no trees. Miao Fangfei couldn't even pick up a piece of wood because it was too conspicuous. She simply used fishing line and hooks. Unexpectedly, she succeeded so quickly.

After the Arctic salmon was caught, tears flowed from its eyes, its mouth opened and closed, and it spoke human words!
