"Alright, after 2.5 hours of practicing with the snare pole, it's time to go out and get some activity."
Lin Yu'an put on all his warmest clothing, wore the newly made beaver fur hat, and flipped down and tied the ear flaps on both sides.
"Today's primary goal is to check those newly set snare traps. With such heavy snow, I don't know if they can still work normally."
He held the newly made long-pole snare in one hand and stepped into that white world covered with thick snow...

Lin Yu'an battled against the increasingly heavy wind and snow, trudging one deep step at a time toward his shelter.
The air temperature seemed to have dropped several degrees within just a few minutes, and the bone-chilling cold penetrated relentlessly, desperately trying to pierce through his thick clothing.
The clear animal tracks he had just discovered in the snow were also being smoothed over by newly fallen snow and fierce winds.
The entire forest was being ravaged by ...

Day fifty-seven.
Lin Yu'an woke up in a strange silence.
Unlike the usual morning bird songs and the rustling sound of wind through the coniferous forest, today everything outside the shelter seemed unusually quiet.
He sat up somewhat puzzled, turned over and crawled out of his sleeping bag, leaving the warm deer hide mattress.
The stove inside the stone house hadn't gone out yet, but because thick reed insulation layers had been added to the walls, it didn't feel cold...

Day fifty-five.
After processing that huge deer hide, Lin Yu'an spread it on his bed made of reeds and pine needles.
The entire hide gave off a faint smell of smoke and plant tannins, feeling soft and warm to the touch. The "luxury" level of the entire shelter instantly improved by several notches.
Since catching big fish for two consecutive days, Lin Yu'an felt like he was a natural-born angler! His condition was excellent at the moment!
He once again came to the fish...

He rested for a moment to recover some strength, then began thinking about how to handle this giant northern pike.
"Having too much food, how to eat it all has actually become a problem. Who would believe this is wilderness survival!"
"Although northern pike has delicious meat, it has particularly many Y-shaped small bones in its muscle, making it very troublesome to eat directly."
"When I made smoked fish from northern pike before, this problem consistently bothered me."

After finishing a bowl of rich, milky white fish head soup, Lin Yu'an felt all his fatigue swept away. His whole body felt warm and thoroughly satisfied from inside out.
He carefully moved the remaining fish head soup in the pot next to the stove, planning to save it for the next day.
Then, carrying that brand new Pacific yew fishing rod, he enthusiastically returned to the fishing platform once again.
Lin Yu'an said confidently to the camera, "Guys, that big lake trout earl...

After Lin Yu'an's wild joy subsided, looking at the giant lake trout before him, a thought suddenly popped into his mind.
"Such fresh, plump fish would be perfect for making a steaming hot 'poached fish' dish!"
He licked his lips, as if he could already taste that delicious, spicy flavor.
Once this idea emerged, it wouldn't leave his mind.
He made an immediate decision to process this fish right away and satisfy his appetite.
"Guys, today we're making a special d...

Lin Yu'an was very confident in his new fishing rod, but soon he thought of another practical problem.
Shouldn't a beginner also have a fish keeper?
Otherwise, how would he store his catch?
"Guys, I have a top-quality fishing rod, but there's still one supporting facility I haven't solved, a fish keeper."
"I'm definitely going to catch many fish, maybe even ten-plus pound big ones! I can't just keep throwing them on shore, making people think I'm showing off~"

Time came to the fifty-second day.
The morning chill was more severe than usual. Lin Yu'an woke up very early, and after adding new firewood to the stove, he quickly walked toward the newly built net platform by the lake.
He stood on the net platform, his gaze fixed tightly on the float line.
The line was motionless, showing no signs of being disturbed by fish.
He picked up a long wooden stick and carefully probed it into the water, gently moving the gill net.

Witch Sophia raised her eyebrows in surprise, "You're saying that Blood Curse Court wizard apprentices ambushed you on the necessary route back to the academy."
Locke nodded. "Yes, teacher."

The night owl that Gabby had transformed into merely circled once above the Gentleman Orchid's head. In that instant, the two leaf swords in the Gentleman Orchid's hands continuously stabbed upward, and amid Gabby's panicked cries, one leaf sword almost pierced her, severing two of her flight feathers.

At the same time, Locke also seized this opportunity to find the Gentleman Orchid's hidden true root system in the darkness.

This was Ian's dream.
Perhaps it was also the "shattered and annihilated" universe that Death had mentioned. Regardless of why his experience was different from that of the crazy chef, Ian understood that he was most likely also a target "parasitized" by the Marvel universe.
It wasn't exactly unlucky.
After all, he had eaten enough cheap meals in his previous life.
Getting a little bit poisoned in this life was reasonable.

It had to be said, Ian was really good at self-regulation.
He felt he had gained a deep understanding of Darwin's theory of survival. However, compared to the boy who had calmly accepted fate, the other three people present were far from having such good empathy.
