Chapter 164 - Chapter 164 Catch once, enough to eat for a year

After hearing Hiccup's words, all the villagers present quieted down.

Although they were still muttering to themselves, they dared not provoke Hiccup, much less offend the gods.

Then, after everyone had cast their fishing nets into the sea, Hiccup whistled at the Hot Pot Dragons below.

The villagers had no idea what was happening; they only felt a shadow flash across the sea, and then they waited anxiously.

Hiccup had originally thought of performing a miracle for them, allowing the fish to swim directly into the fishing nets.

However, such a thing would eventually be discovered, so he simply gave up on the idea and could only shout loudly at them, "Everyone, hold onto your fishing nets tightly! Fish will soon swim into your nets on their own!"

Upon hearing this, all the villagers focused their minds, gripping their fishing nets tightly, and even tying the ropes at the ends to their bodies to prevent the nets from falling into the sea.

"Splash~~"

Suddenly, waves surged on the sea surface.

All the villagers did not know what was happening, but they did not forget to hold onto their fishing nets tightly.

"It's so heavy! I can't hold it anymore! Come and help me!"

"So many fish! So many fish! This is enough for us to eat for a year!"

"There really are so many! I'm about to lose my grip!"

"Everyone, hold on! We will definitely be able to bring all these fish home!"

Each villager was both excited and afraid, fearing that they would not be able to hold onto the fishing net, allowing the fish to escape.

Hiccup could also see that these villagers were gradually running out of strength, mainly because there were simply too many fish.

So he waved to the Dragon Knight and said, "Go and help immediately!"

"Roar~!"

The Dragon Knight's dragon let out a roar, then went directly to grab the fishing net and lifted all the fish into the air.

"Splash~"

As soon as the fishing net was pulled out of the water, it brought up a huge splash.

The glistening scales of the sea fish reflected the sunlight, making it difficult for the villagers to open their eyes.

When they saw the Dragon Riders leaving with a net full of sea fish, everyone couldn't help but start cheering.

"Great! Great! We have food again!"

"It's truly wonderful! With so many fish, we can finally eat our fill!"

"Lord Godsend, he is truly great! He has bestowed so many sea fish upon us! I would even be willing to pay five times more tax!"

"How wonderful it would be if we could catch so many sea fish every day!"

"With so many sea fish, it's enough for us to eat for a year! And we don't even have to be frugal!"

This time, all the able-bodied villagers on Second Island participated in this fishing activity.

For the Vikings, who often went hungry, so many fish would indeed allow them to eat freely for an entire year.

However, there were also so many dragons on the island, and their food supply also needed to be guaranteed! So, this was still far from enough.

But seeing how excited these villagers were, Hiccup also showed a relieved smile.

The Hot Pot Dragons poked their heads out one by one, staring in Hiccup's direction, seemingly hoping that Hiccup would give them some fish to eat.

And Hiccup knew they were after the blue oleander, and of course, Hiccup also understood a principle.

You can't feed a dog too full, and you can't be too good to people!

So he said to these Hot Pot Dragons, "Today's work isn't over yet! Keep up the good work!"

When those responsible for staying behind on Second Island saw so many fish being brought back, they all opened their mouths in astonishment.

Chala couldn't help but cover her mouth in surprise, looking at Hiccup's figure in the sky, muttering to herself, "Is this all a blessing from Odin?"

"With these fish, we won't have to starve anymore!"

Hiccup looked at Chala and said, "What are you still standing around for? Quickly empty these fishing nets!"

Chala suddenly came to her senses and quickly said to the people around her, "Go quickly! Go quickly and empty these fishing nets, don't delay Lord Godsend's time!"

This time, Hiccup led the team directly to a more distant sea area.

Upon reaching the location, the villagers had become very experienced, quickly spreading out and staying in their positions.

Without waiting for Hiccup to give the order, they directly cast their fishing nets into the sea, waiting for the sea fish to swim in by themselves.

However, this also saved a lot of effort, and Hiccup did not blame them for acting on their own, but instead patted Night Fury's neck.

"Roar~~"

Because the sea surface here was too vast, Night Fury had to convey the command on his behalf.

When the Hot Pot Dragons heard Night Fury's roar, they quickly swam away, and in the eyes of these villagers, the Hot Pot Dragons flashed by, not even a shadow could be seen.

In less than half an hour, the villagers felt the fishing nets in their hands begin to get heavier.

They shouted excitedly, "Great, I feel like we're fully loaded again this time!"

"This is definitely a blessing from Odin! We must never betray Odin's blessing! Even if our hands break, we will not let go of this fishing net!"

"We must hold on! This way, we won't have to starve in the future!"

Some villagers even shouted slogans excitedly, until later, as more and more fish filled the nets, they became heavier and heavier.

Each villager was so exhausted that their face turned red, they could no longer speak, and even felt it difficult to breathe.

When they were about to reach their limit, the Dragon Knight Squad quickly swooped down, directly pulling these fishing nets from the sea and bringing them back to Second Island.

After a quick look at the fish caught, there were still a small number of eels among them!

The Dragon Knight's dragons were trained, so as long as they were not allowed to directly touch these eels, they would not be afraid.

However, any fish tastes best when alive; if made into salted fish, they would eventually get tired of it.

After all, with the current conditions, there was no need to eat dead fish!

Astrid also thought of this problem, riding her dragon to Hiccup's side and asking, "Why don't we build a fish farm! We can raise all the fish we can't eat! That way, we can eat fresh fish every day!"

Hiccup directly shook his head and said, "As long as there are Hot Pot Dragons, there's no need to build a fish farm!"

And Astrid pouted and said, "If you're not on the island, then who can control these Hot Pot Dragons?"

Hiccup smiled faintly and said, "Alright then! This task is yours!"

Astrid said excitedly, "I guarantee the completion of the mission!"

Then she led the members of First Squad to choose a bay for building the fish farm.
