Chapter 523: Icelandic Horror (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 would have thought of. 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 silently 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. 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 fish: "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 is probably not a lie. The two-meter-long Arctic char can only be caught with the Spear of Odin’

But as long as everyone spends all their Icelandic krona, they can rent Odin's Spear to catch a fish. The task of this attraction is too simple.

‘Perhaps only one two-meter-long Arctic char can be ‘caught’. Others can use Odin's Spear to catch smaller Arctic char, so if you want the highest level of mission completion, you still have to go into the water. ’

Or maybe fishing with Odin's Spear would take so long that they wouldn't have time to each fish with Odin's Spear.

Shaoyuan preliminarily concluded that in order to maximize the completion of the apparent task of the Thingvadra Lake wild fishing spot, everyone in their team must catch two-meter arctic char.

‘Odin’s Spear is a shortcut’

Miao Fangfei summarized her point of view: ‘It’s quite in line with our difficulty level. ’

Not being on the same team as the Devil Merchant, just judging from the overall difficulty level of Miao Fangfei and his team’s Eastern District passengers, the fishing mission itself is not difficult. Based on Miao Fangfei’s rich experience in low-level and independent teams, such scenic spots missions usually have a high risk factor. not tall.

As the staff mentioned two clues, it is possible to catch Arctic char in the lake. One is to use the Wild Rod, and the other is to use Odin's Spear.

The risk of using a wild pole is that you have to hide it from the patrolling staff and not be discovered by them, and it is very likely that the wild pole will not be able to catch Arctic salmon that is too large.

The Spear of Odin looks like a shortcut, but it looks like a trap that hotels often dig for tourists. If there are travelers who are timid and don’t want to take risks, or are simple-minded and not thoughtful, or are impatient and greedy, and choose this route and spend all their Icelandic krona at this attraction, they will definitely eat more soon. suffering.

There are many things that cost money, such as tonight’s snowmobile ride over the Grand Glacier.

Although glacier hiking is on the itinerary, snowmobiling across the Grand Glacier is not! Careless travelers can easily confuse them because they both contain glaciers. However, Miao Fangfei judged from riding an Icelandic horse that it is very likely that there will be a charge for snowmobiling tonight!

The cost may not be high, but travelers who use up all their Icelandic krona while fishing will never be able to afford it. How are they going to get to tonight's Glacier Adventure Hotel without a snowmobile to ride on? Hike across a glacier? That's the danger of a narrow escape!

If the kind of people before could survive, they would never take chances again. The hostel is like a beetle, filtering out piles and piles of 'qualified' tourists.

Miao Fangfei said: ‘When I go back, I’ll try it with a wild fishing rod first’

'Um'

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

Passengers are all masters of reading comprehension. When Shaoyuan asked the question, the staff member gave a positive answer, "Even if you only have one Icelandic krona", which shows that this method is feasible.

But the attractions are full of challenges, and the staff are not very kind.

If they did this, concentrating the money on one person, with everyone else renting Odin's Spear and that person using the Wild Rod, they would really be able to keep the most money while also getting the highest attraction completion possible.

But there will be potential cracks in the team. Perhaps the bigger the fish is, the more rewards will be obtained. The person who does not use Odin's Spear is purely equivalent to sacrificing for the team, and that's fine. Shaoyuan was suspicious that the staff repeatedly emphasized "all your money", which probably meant that if the money was transferred to other people, it would not be counted as his own money.

In other words, all the money of everyone in the team really belongs to that person. This will definitely cause some minor friction. And if the money is used in many places afterwards, that person may have to pay the bill. In this way, if a situation like today happens again, where some people want to use wild fishing rods and others want to rent luxury fishing rods, they will not be able to act according to their own needs. If they have to unify their opinions, the contradictions will only increase. If the person who holds all the money does not have enough prestige, the entire team will fall apart if they are not careful.

But if it is a formed brigade rather than a broken group, this method will maximize the benefits. Although the hotel encourages fighting among travelers, it also likes teams that remain united despite various challenges and tests. If there really is a brigade that is extremely united from beginning to end and has a high-prestige captain, then they can speed up the journey with little loss and much profit.

Only two or three elite teams like this can be formed in the Sunset Brigade. Shaoyuan had experienced it himself, so he thought of it immediately.

Shao Yuan believes that although their team is a scattered team and has the instability factor of the top travelers in the Western Region, 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 leasing the best Icelandic horse, there was a vague feeling in the team that 'problems that can be solved with money are not problems' and that Director C is not short of money = everyone is not short of money. Feel.

Knowing that Director C still had a lot of gold cards, even Walker could happily pay the money. He believes that even if he pays the money now, Director C will definitely double the compensation to him in the future when he sees how good he is.

'And I kind of doubt that the Spear of Odin is more than just a fishing rod'

Seeing that Miao Fangfei was still hesitant and quickly returned to the fishing spot, Shao Yuan finally told what he thought was the most important reason.

How can a fishing rod be called Odin's Spear for no reason? Coupled with the one-eyed doctor Old Mark, Shao Yuan thinks that the spear of Odin is absolutely special!

‘Not only do we have to rent it, we better find a way to buy it! Or you can rent it long-term! ’

Hearing Shao Yuan's excitement, Miao Fangfei, who had been silent, finally sighed: "I also think Odin's Spear is not as simple as a fishing rod."

‘So we can’t even use it for fishing. ’

As if she had made a decision, Miao Fangfei was no longer silent. She spoke decisively and firmly, emphasizing: "You especially cannot use it to catch salmon."

‘Can’t you use it to catch salmon? ’

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

‘Let’s try wild fishing first’

Miao Fangfei said softly: "After catching the salmon, take a look first."

Shao Yuan still frowned, Miao Fangfei said thoughtfully: "This is salmon after all."

Before setting off, both Shao Yuan and Miao Fangfei had memorized the information given by Bai Xiaosheng very well, even including the obscure "Poetic Edda" and other ancient poems, especially various mythological stories including Loki. The melon is overripe. Especially Miao Fangfei secretly remembered that Director Bing liked stuffed animals and clearly remembered the animals that Rocky had transformed into.

Loki is an excellent magician and shapeshifter. It is recorded in Norse mythology that he has transformed creatures such as salmon, seals, mares, and flies. Now that Director C has involved horses, Miao Fangfei is particularly concerned about other creatures, especially when the staff recommended that they use Odin's Spear to catch salmon.

Salmon.

If they really used Odin's Spear, would they just catch salmon?

Or——will Guide C be caught?

Furthermore, Odin and Loki don’t have a good relationship. Is Odin’s spear really just a fishing rod? Could it be that after catching Director C, the fishing rod would crack directly from the middle, revealing the true form of Odin's Spear, stabbing Director C to death in one fell swoop? !

Although the guide will not die in the warm-up match, Miao Fangfei is worried that Guide B’s Loki flame, Loki mare and other Loki-related identities will be wiped out by Odin’s spear! There is also the piece of minced meat of the ancestor giant. 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 swung the rod and caught the beautiful salmon, but her nerves were more tense and she became more and more vigilant.

You have to tell Director C about this.

After they returned, Miao Fangfei saw that Yu Hehui was not here. She thought she was monitoring old Mark in the infirmary, so she calmly calmed down, twirling a bunch of fox fur and called to Yu Hehui, and she just said to continue fishing. Fishing was an attraction task, and although Walker complained loudly, he still sat down to fish.

Then Miao Fangfei used spiritual mind Gu to tell everyone the news that wild hooks might be able to catch fish. All the passengers became excited and formed a circle intentionally or unintentionally. Walker turned into a wolf and let loose. After the patrol staff passed by, Miao Fangfei really gained something - —She caught a palm-sized Arctic char using only fishing line and hook!

The park is full of large areas 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, so she simply used fishing line and hook. She didn't expect to succeed so quickly.

And after the Arctic char was caught, tears shed from its eyes, its mouth opened and closed, and human words came out of its mouth!
