Chapter 420 Becoming the most feared existence of the people in Northern Frontier

"Silly boy, you can go fishing if you want, but we are still on the road."

Feng Qiyu looked at little Qin Zhan with a smile.

"If you really want to go fishing, you have to wait until we find a safer place to stay."

"It's a long journey, and I'm afraid you'll get tired of the dry food I brought with you, so I've already prepared fishing gear for fishing on the glacier before we came."

Feng Qiyu said this, narrowing his eyes and trying to look forward.

"Let's go a little further. If I remember correctly, there should be a temporary shelter not far ahead. We can rest there first."

"Once we get there, everything will be settled. Your second uncle will personally teach you how to fish on the glacier."

"Okay! Thank you, second uncle!"

After all, children are very playful and curious about everything.

When little Qin Zhan heard Feng Qiyu say that he could teach him how to fish, he immediately became excited and only thought about catching a big fish in a while. He didn't consider at all how cold it would be to sit on the glacier without moving and even reaching out to touch the icy water.

Su Shixia looked at him helplessly and was about to open her mouth to remind him, but at this moment the little guy raised his head and looked at her.

"Mom, I've actually fished before, but fishing in a small pond in Dongling Country is definitely not as fun as fishing on this glacier."

"When we were crossing the mountain before, there was no inn to rest on the road, and we had been eating dry biscuits for several days. Although there was roasted game, it is not good to eat too much."

Little Qin Zhan raised his finger and pointed at the corner of Ye Xizhi's forehead.

"Mom, there are small red bumps here! Sister Lianqiao said that you ate too much game and got a sore throat."

"Fish soup is much more nutritious than game!"

"When my second uncle and I go fishing for a big fish, we'll make fish soup for mom!"

The little guy kept talking about her, and the excitement and worry in his tone were not concealed at all.

This sincere heart blocked all the words that Su Shixia was about to say.

"Okay, then mother will be waiting for your fish soup."

Su Shixia smiled and stroked little Qin Zhan's head.

While leading him forward, he continued to talk to him.

"In fact, in this glacial area, when you fish, you can not only catch fish, but you may also catch seals."

"Seal? What is that? Is it delicious?"

It wasn't just little Qin Zhan who was curious.

Hearing the word "seal", Feng Qiyu couldn't help but move closer to Su Shixia, as if wanting to hear her talk about what that thing was.

Su Shixia only felt that the area around her seemed to have suddenly become crowded.

She subconsciously looked back and found that Lian Qiao and Fu Hu had followed her at some point. The two of them were following her closely, with their back almost touching hers.

Both of them pricked up their ears, waiting attentively to hear her next words.

Noticing that Su Shixia turned her head and looked at them, the two of them did not feel embarrassed at all.

Lian Qiao even took the initiative to say: "I have lived in this northern border for more than ten years, and I have never heard of a creature like a seal."

"Miss, how do you know there are seals in the glaciers of the northern border? Have you seen them with your own eyes?"

From the reactions of Feng Qinian and Lian Qiao, Su Shixia can now basically confirm that there are no seals in Northern Xinjiang. Or perhaps, there are creatures like seals in Northern Xinjiang, but the name they use for them is different from the world she originally lived in.

"I have never been to Northern Xinjiang before, how could I possibly have seen a seal with my own eyes?"

Su Shixia smiled and tried hard to fool them.

"I actually read this in an ancient book. It said that seals live in glacier areas. They..."

Su Shixia carefully explained all the knowledge about seals that she knew in her previous life. Feng Qiyu and the others tried to recall for a long time, but finally shook their heads.

"I've never seen it, or even heard of it before."

"Xia Xia, the ancient book you are reading, is it possible that it is very old?"

Feng Qiyu asked: "The animals recorded in the book may be from a long, long time ago, and they may have become extinct by now."

"Otherwise, we have lived in the Northern Frontier for so many years. Even if we haven't seen the 'seal' you mentioned, we should have heard about it from the elders in the tribe."

Su Shixia mentioned the seal casually just to coax little Qin Zhan, not that she was really interested in seals.

Hearing Feng Qiyu say this, she was not surprised at all.

"maybe."

She brought up the subject vaguely, then immediately changed the subject and asked:

"Come to think of it, if there are no seals in the northern border, then are there only fish in the sea under the glacier? Are there no other animals?"

"That's not it."

Feng Qiyu said: "In addition to fish, there are of course shrimps. There are many kinds of fish."

"We usually eat fish that are neither too big nor too small, and have relatively tender meat."

"The glacier looks very safe now, but there are many dangers lurking beneath this seemingly safe ice surface."

Feng Qiyu said: "Speaking of fish, there is a kind of extremely large and ferocious fish under this glacier."

"Because the glaciers are dangerous, people in the tribe usually gather together to hunt."

Feng Qiyu said: "When there are enough manpower groups, they will cast a big net. The bigger the net, the more fish they will catch."

"But sometimes, you run into something unexpected, like the 'Toothfish King'."

"Toothfish King?"

Su Shixia frowned and tried hard to recall.

Most of her knowledge about fish in her previous life came from the short videos and animal world she occasionally watched.

Anyway, in her memory, it seemed to be a creature like a toothfish.

But she was sure that this was the first time she had heard the name "Toothfish King".

“Is that kind of fish very aggressive?”

Su Shixia asked curiously.

Feng Qiyu nodded.

"Not only is it very aggressive, it is also very large."

"The tribesmen come out to fish with big nets. It can not only bite the nets into pieces, but it can also eat all the fish in the net in one breath."

"If you are unlucky enough to encounter it, the entire tribe will almost have nothing to harvest. Because this toothfish king is too ferocious, this fish is also called 'disaster fish' in the northern border."

"Brother, have you ever encountered this kind of fish?"

Su Shixia asked: "What does it look like?"

“It happened once.”

Feng Qiyu said, "Because here, to fish, they just make a hole in the ice and cast the net, and the ice layer of the glacier is thick, so when I encountered the Black Tooth King that time, I didn't see clearly what it looked like."

"But even if I was standing on the ice, through the thick ice, I could clearly feel the vibrations caused by the water hitting the ice when it swam across the ice."

Feng Qiyu still feels a lingering fear when he recalls the scene at that time.

"At the time, I was thinking, fortunately, this Black Tooth King can only move under the glacier and cannot go ashore. If it could move on land, it would definitely become the most feared existence of the people in the northern border."
