Chapter 339 A Few Things About Fishing for Crayfish
Admittedly, Elius's idea was good, but—

"Where can we get crayfish so late at night?"

"Instant noodles and stuff like that don't sound very healthy?"

Cedril and Landon's questions caused Oko's lips to twitch slightly.

Eating late-night snacks doesn't seem to have anything to do with health, does it?
"There are crayfish, but you have to catch them yourself."

When Liang He came last time, she gave the chef some advice: take advantage of the ocean and make a living from the sea. So they set aside a small area of ​​the sea specifically for raising crayfish.

Of course, the crayfish here are different from those on Blue Star. On Blue Star, crayfish are not seafood, but freshwater creatures.

However, Liang He discovered that the seafood version of crayfish has a more delicious and unique flavor, which is why she made the suggestion.

"Catch it yourself? That sounds interesting."

Cedriel, who had never caught a crayfish before, began to challenge Elius and Langton.

"How about we have a competition among the three of us to see who catches the most?"

Their daytime house-hunting attempt ended in failure, but a crayfish battle that night was inevitable for them.

"Alright! Let's have the competition. Li Xiao will be in charge of preparing everything else."

Li Xiao, who had hoped to finish early and get some rest, was instead trapped in the kitchen, sighing silently.

Meanwhile, Oko led Landon and the others toward the area where crayfish were being raised.

"This is it."

The sea at night appears more treacherous than its daytime grandeur.

At first glance, it seems like a vast abyss, and even the presence of a lighthouse cannot prevent it from inspiring fear.

"You can catch crayfish or fish for them."

The waters where crayfish are farmed are close to the beach, and sometimes crayfish will come to them on their own, but it still depends on luck.

As for going directly into the water to catch them, it's not impossible, but it's not very safe.

"Luck is also a part of skill, so why don't we go crayfish fishing?"

Elius had considered it. Landon was a falcon, so he might have an advantage if they were catching crayfish.

Fishing for crayfish is different. The basic equipment is the same, the only difference is luck, so it's relatively fair.

"I agree!"

Compared to Elius, who had more to consider, Cedril actually thought it was simpler. Although he wasn't afraid of water, if he got soaked, how was he going to deliver the midnight snack to Liang He later?
He was afraid that Liang He would catch him and say that he didn't cherish his body.

"……Row."

Landon, who had originally planned to showcase his superb crayfish-catching skills, had no choice but to give up when he was outnumbered.

Seeing that they had reached an agreement, Oko brought out the equipment, one set for each person, and told no one to take it from anyone.

“It’s still early, you can sit on the chairs and fish at your leisure. I’ll go help Mr. Li Xiao.”

It's only been two hours since dinner, so there's no rush to have a late-night snack.

After thanking him, Landon began to focus intently on fishing for crayfish, but none of the three of them had ever caught one before, and the crayfish were slow to bite, which made them question their existence.

"Aoko isn't trying to fool us, is he? There aren't any crayfish here at all..."

"Federal Marshal, Commander, pirate leader—which one do you think he would dare to lie to?"

"Stop talking, or you'll scare the crayfish away."

The three big shots, questioning their existence, stared at the motionless fishing rod and fell silent.

It wasn't until Li Xiao came over to see what was going on and wondered if he could finish the crayfish ahead of schedule that he discovered the problem.

"Are you trying to emulate Jiang Ziya?"

Who is Jiang Taigong?

Cedril, unable to understand what Li Xiao was saying, tilted his head in confusion.

Li Xiao, both amused and exasperated, pointed to their fishing rods, which had no bait whatsoever. "Like Jiang Taigong fishing, those who are willing will take the bait."

They fish for crayfish here, without giving them any food, just hoping the crayfish will come to them on their own. Aren't they just imitating Jiang Taigong?

"Huh? Fish bait? Where did you get fish bait?"

Cedril was completely stunned.

He thought he could just throw the fishing rod into the water! Isn't that right?
It's no wonder they were confused; given their backgrounds, who among them had ever fished before?
"Sigh... I'll do it."

Li Xiao searched through the equipment that Ao Ke had given them and found a can of pig liver cut into small strips.

He hung the pig liver on the fishing hook, then cast the hook into the sea and began to wait quietly.

"Hey! Is the fishing rod moving?"

Cedril, with his sharp eyes, suddenly pointed excitedly at the fishing rod in Li Xiao's hand.

Li Xiao reeled in the fishing rod, and the thing on the hook finally surfaced.

"It really is crayfish! So fast?"

Landon thought he would have to wait a while, but to his surprise, crayfish took the bait in just two or three minutes.

This scene only made their previous actions seem even more foolish...

"Alright, I've finished my demonstration. Good luck to you all!"

After returning the fishing rod to Elius, Li Xiao turned and left, concealing his merit and fame.

After overcoming the biggest challenge, Cedril and his two teammates rallied and finally began the official competition.

Meanwhile, Leila, who had been tracking Droville, was suddenly attacked.

"Damn it! We've been discovered?!"

Lyra, who thought the tracking mission wouldn't be too difficult, never expected that she had already been exposed and even tricked by Drovell.

His move, taking advantage of the situation and luring Lyra into a trap, caught her completely off guard.

"Colonel, what do we do now?!"

To avoid revealing their location, they only brought a small group of people, replacing the warships with spaceships. The rest of them were in the rear and probably wouldn't be able to get here in time.

"You! Send the movement log of this period to headquarters. The rest of you, follow me!"

The situation was urgent, and Leila couldn't worry about much else. She could only upload the previous tracking data to headquarters, just in case... at least she could leave behind something useful.

As for this group of rebels—

There are no deserters in the Federation Army!
"Everyone, fight with me!"

"Fight! Fight! Fight!"

Even knowing that the disparity in strength was too great, not a single person retreated!
But fighting spirit alone is not enough to repel an enemy that outnumbers them by dozens of times.

"Colonel! You go now! We'll hold them off here until you return and avenge us!"

Seeing that things were not going well, Leila's men wanted her to take the opportunity to break out, leave the area, and find reinforcements.

And they were prepared to fight to the very last moment!

"No! I won't abandon you!"

The data transmission is complete. Lyra will never abandon her comrades, not even in death!
"Wow, what a touching friendship."

Sangis, one of the four army commanders, loves blood and killing.

Droville sent him with the intention of killing Lyra and the others here.

That's understandable, considering he was just tricked by Liang He and had to flee in disgrace; he needed to find a way to save face.

"Since that's the case, I'll grant your wish—may you all die here!"

At Sangis's command, the rebels launched a massive attack, firing energy cannons and photon guns simultaneously, intending to annihilate them in this star field!
