Chapter 832: Chapter 815 Challenger’s Recent Status

A hot pot meal of fresh fish left Yue Feng with a mouthful of oily goodness, proclaiming his enjoyment. After finishing the fillet from half of the fish, he still felt a bit unsatisfied. However, including the earlier sashimi, the entire fish’s meat was already in his belly, making Yue Feng at least 80% full.

The diet is relatively simple, but the cold climate has made Yue Feng’s appetite increase significantly during his time in the wilderness. Feeling almost full, Yue Feng didn’t let the fresh hot pot broth go to waste. He scooped the soup and a swan’s leg to cool beside him, then drank the essence of the broth from a coarse clay bowl in one go.

Burp!

Yue Feng let out a satisfied burp and rubbed his belly contentedly.

“Brothers! A lavish meal, I’m full! While it’s still daylight, let’s continue ice fishing, as a way to digest the meal!!”

Yue Feng greeted his livestream audience, then picked up a pine stick and got busy again.

The snow house didn’t have glass windows, so by around 3 PM, the light inside began to dim.

Yue Feng felt the north wind outside gradually stop. He crawled out of the snow house and stretched lazily.

The north wind, which had been blowing for half the night and most of the day, had indeed temporarily ceased. The tips of the distant pine trees stood still.

Weather like this has been hard to come by during this period.

Yue Feng said, “Brothers, that’s it for today’s ice fishing. The lighting inside isn’t good, and we aren’t short on fish for food! Since the wind has stopped, I’ll let Little White out to fly a few laps!

In recent days, the weather has changed dramatically, and Little White hasn’t had much opportunity to fly. It’s like taking a dog for a walk; they need to be active after being indoors for too long!”

After greeting everyone, Yue Feng took out a lure made of rabbit fur from his backpack, tied it to a pine stick, and released Little White to the lake surface.

At this moment, Little White had almost completely lost any wariness towards Yue Feng. Without hesitation, he spread his wings on Yue Feng’s arm as soon as he removed his hat and untied the strap.

With a slight upward thrust of Yue Feng’s right arm, Little White took advantage of it and quickly leapt into the air, circling upward.

Having been inactive for several days, Little White was extremely excited when released, flapping his wings rapidly, quickly accelerating and ascending to a height of over a hundred meters and still climbing.

In Yue Feng’s mind, Little White’s training and practical eagle hunting were already nearing an end. After the heavy snow, everything was silent, making it difficult to hunt with Little White. When the sixty-day challenge ended, Little White couldn’t legally return home, and his only fate was to regain freedom in the wild.

Unknowingly, Little White continued his ascent, soon reaching the two hundred-meter height where he hunted the swan previously. With no prey around, Yue Feng didn’t give any feeding calls.

Without instructions, Little White obediently opened his wings and circled in the air, feeling the fierce airflow and cold in the high altitude.

Without new instructions from Yue Feng, Little White’s circles gradually widened, expanding from over a hundred meters in diameter to over three hundred meters. In his sight, Little White was just a dark speck, seemingly about to reach the clouds with a little more height gain.

Seeing it was about enough, Yue Feng retrieved the lure and blew his whistle.

With keen hearing and sight, the bird quickly swooped down towards Yue Feng.

Using the length of the pine stick to increase the radius, Yue Feng soon started playing with Little White and the lure.

The coordination became smoother as they played with the lure, until sweat dripped from Yue Feng’s forehead. He then deliberately left an opening, allowing Little White to grasp the lure, seizing the opportunity to whistle and feed him, concluding the day’s activities.

Spending the first day in the snow house by the lake, Yue Feng felt it was at least more interesting than being in the shelter. As dusk approached, Yue Feng packed up his gear, including the falconry equipment, and returned to the shelter.

As for the fish caught during daytime ice fishing, aside from taking one back to make fish soup for the evening, the rest were left outside by the snow house door. With the temperature close to minus twenty degrees, he’s not worried about spoilage. If any wild animals come to eat, Yue Feng would be happy to share.

The next day, having tasted the fun of ice fishing, Yue Feng headed back to the snow house early after breakfast.

As Yue Feng expected, over half of the fish outside had disappeared. Among them, one was eaten down to just the head, with traces of fish blood staining the ice and snow outside, making for quite a sight.

After climbing back into the snow house and checking around, the animal skins, tools, small furnace, and clay pots were still there. Yue Feng once again started his livestream.

“Brothers! The fish we deliberately left out last night has been visited! Ever since the snowfall, it seems like the wolf pack has left the area around our shelter! Judging by the remaining traces and footprints, it should be some small animal, smaller than a wolf!”

“Um, Brother Feng, should we continue being do-gooders today? The battlefield looks a bit messy, with fish heads, chunks of meat, and quite a bit of blood.”

“Brother Feng, Brother Feng, I’ve got good news for you: Numbers two and three both withdrew yesterday! Besides you, only the bald-headed guy, the Indian girl at spot number six, and number eight, Claude, are left in the challenge!”

“I think Claude is the only one who might have a chance to last to the end. The bald-headed guy at number one hasn’t had any food for three days in a row and only has two smoked fish left. No matter how he paces himself, he can’t make it through ten more days!”

“The person above is right; the Indian girl at number six surprised me! She was scraping by on wild vegetables at first, but then turned it around by catching quite a few fish with her handmade nets during the later stages—probably around seven or eight left!”

“When it comes to competing with Brother Feng, it’s likely only Claude is left! This guy’s been living it up lately, feeding wildlife around his camp with musk ox meat! He’s been feasting three times a day on hundreds of pounds of beef without a care!”

Yue Feng nodded: “Thanks for sharing the info! The climate is getting harsher, and there’s less and less we can do! We can only find joy amidst the hardship! Let’s continue ice fishing. The holes from last night have frozen over, so let’s break them open again and see how many fish we can catch today!”

Greeting everyone, Yue Feng got back to work.

The fishing hole had indeed frozen over, but there were many bubbles frozen in the ice, indicating that cold-water fish still needed oxygen. These bubbles were evidence of fish activity beneath the ice.

After reopening the fishing hole in the same spot, Yue Feng continued fishing with his crude tools.

Luck was on his side; he caught a fish with the very first cast!

A pike over eighty centimeters long!

Compared to salmon, this light-colored pike has a fishy taste, and the texture seems inferior. After trying it a few times, Yue Feng rarely ate it anymore. After laboriously bringing the fish up, he directly discarded it outside the door, where it quickly froze solid.

As he fished and discussed lunch menu options with his audience, Little White, perched on the eagle stand, suddenly turned his head to look outside the snow house.
