Chapter 4: Harvesting
The long-haired hounds scattered in all directions, one occupying the highest points in the vicinity, one lurking in the surrounding shadows, and one patrolling back and forth.
This hunting dog is also known as a patrol dog, and it lives up to its name.
As for the five wolfhounds, they were heartless and followed behind Sean, knowing that they would soon be treated to a fresh bear dirty meal.
Soon next to Andes Bear's corpse, a log frame was lifted, just the right size to hold Andes Bear on all fours—it was obviously unrealistic to hang the behemoth.
For this bear hunt, from reconnaissance to follow-up finishing work, nearly three months were prepared, including provoking the top hunters who were designed to cross some hunting ranges to fight each other.
Last month's life-and-death fight between Andes Giant Bear and Andes Giant Tiger was caused by the fact that they moved Andes Giant Tiger's tiger cub to blame this giant bear.
Eliminate any surprises in the hunt - if the Andis Tiger hears the movement and intervenes at the critical moment of the hunt, it will be a big problem.
If it weren't for Xiao Qi's reckless impulsiveness, the whole bear hunting process would have been perfect.
Before this, Sean had already taken advantage of the fact that Andes Giant Bear was not dead, and opened two long blood openings in the arteries of his hind limbs, emptying the blood in its body as much as possible, and there was a certain difference in taste between flesh and blood.
Although this difference is not particularly large, as a top foodie, the difference is already very obvious, and it is already part of his instinct to maintain the purity of the ingredients.
The process of peeling the skin, Sean's technique is similar to that of an ordinary butcher, the only commendable thing is that his hand strength is strong enough, except for the use of knives when opening the seams, the whole process is completed with both hands, only to see a slight tear, a small half of the bear skin left the body of Andes Giant Bear, as if it was not on the body, but on the body.
Next, Sean's method is completely different from that of an ordinary butcher.
He did not rush to disembowel the Andes Bear and take out the internal organs, but directly from one of the hind paws of the Andes Bear, the way of removing the meat is very strange, how to say, neither cutting, nor cutting, but plowing.
Ploughing along the veins of the muscles, as if there is a gap between the muscles themselves, how the muscle gap goes, how his knife goes, so it feels very weird, but on the whole, it is full of a sense of beauty, which is not only the beauty of Sean's knife skills, but also the beauty of creation.
With the rotation of the knife, pieces of meat with great differences in color and texture left the body one after another, and were sorted and placed by Sean in an orderly manner, and occasionally Sean would throw some fat strips behind him, attracting the group of foodies who were staring at him to snatch it.
From beginning to end, Sean's expression was sacred and solemn, as if what he was doing was not to slaughter a prey, but to carry out a sacred sacrificial work, not only Sean, but also other children who had already set up the pot and lit the fire, and they had already gathered around, and their immature little faces were also solemn, looking extremely serious, as if they were taking a lesson in dissection, and it was the same as it was.
"Look, this is the most essential part of every creature, if you have the opportunity to hunt alone in the future, remember to remove this part separately, if it is simply used as food, it is a great waste. ”
Sean carefully pulled out a layer of uniquely colored muscle strips from deep within the layers of muscles and threw them onto the simple table in front of Marshall, explaining to the children.
Marshall took this unique muscle strip, smeared it with snow-white salt with great skill, and then beat it quickly with a wooden mallet, the rhythm was as slow as the same, this muscle strip was more like leather than like muscle, full of toughness.
"You know, this kind of leather skin can only be boiled out with special treatment. A little boy with a slightly round face sucked his saliva.
"Evan is a foodie, and the first thing that comes to mind is eating. ”
"Leathers are the best training supplement, not for you to snack. ”
"However, the broth made from the leather skin is really different from the ordinary broth, and the aroma alone is intoxicating. ”
"You little kid know what it means to be drunk? When you eat any broth, you look the same, just like a junior who sees meat and bones. ”
"Ai Wen must not usually steal less food, otherwise why would he be fatter than us?"
"That's right, that's right, this matter must be investigated, Aven, whether you have stolen our public property. ”
These half-grown children have a lot of gossip, but children are children, even if they are mature, there is still a childish spirit between words and actions.
At first, the discussion was serious, but soon it was crooked, until Marshall coughed heavily, and then blinked his eyes, and tried to return to a serious appearance, but they still frowned at each other, and continued the argument just now with their eyes.
Compared with Sean, who smiles all day long and rarely gets angry, Marshall, who has a poker face all day long, is the person this group of children fears the most.
Sean's work does not stop, and only in some important places will he stop to explain.
There are many similarities between the medieval world we live in now and the previous life, most of the physical laws are the same, such as gravity, friction, acceleration, etc., and even the body structure of most living things is similar.
At least the appearance is not very different, but there are many differences in details, such as the size of the wild creatures is one or two models larger than in previous lives.
Another example is the muscle bar in front of him, which is not found in previous life creatures, and Sean calls this muscle bar a strengthened leather muscle, or leather muscle for short, which is a strengthened version of muscle and has a more compact and complex inner structure than muscle.
This makes it appear as tough and tough as leather, with five times more explosive power than normal muscles, and on top of that, it has a unique ability - energy storage.
More powerful than fat, a piece of leatherskin of the same weight stores as much energy as ten times the weight of fat burned.
The most important thing is that the energy stored in the leather muscle does not need to be converted back and forth, and can be directly used by the body.
Speaking of which, there is no need to say much about the effect of leather muscles, this is a piece of natural military food, the energy provided by three or two layers of leather muscles is enough to maintain Sean for a whole day of high-intensity hunting, if you add leather muscles to the training meal, it is even more effective with half the effort, and it is easier to exercise leather muscles - what to eat and what to supplement, in some specific cases it makes sense.
However, the number of leather muscles is obviously proportional to its value, it is a strengthened version of muscle, not a strengthened version of fat, only under a certain intensity of exercise or training, it will be produced, in the body of domestic animals without much exercise, scarce and pitiful, a strong bull can take out half a catty even if it is more.
Wild animals with a relatively large amount of exercise are obviously stronger, and the hunters have significantly more leather muscles than the hunted, but they are still relatively limited, after all, no matter how smart the hunter is, he will not deliberately exercise his leather muscles like people.
Just like the Andes giant bear in front of him, the abundant food sources around it make it relatively limited in exercise, although it has the best body shape in its kind, the number of leathery muscles in its body is average, mainly concentrated in the limbs and head, and it can remove ten kilograms, even if they are lucky.
Ten kilograms seems like a lot, but when you put it on a 3,000-pound behemoth, the output ratio can be seen.
In addition to leathery muscles, there are also leathery tendons and leathery bones.
Different from the leathery muscle, the leatherstuff and the tendon and ligament are not separated, the two are entangled and fused together, all the tendons and ligaments of all creatures are more or less leather, the difference is in the proportion of leather, the proportion can reach more than 70%, it will only appear in one kind of creature - people, and it is the great knight who has been systematically and rigorously trained.
The proportion of leather tendons in this Andes giant bear accounts for about 60%, and the most important thing is that the leather muscles on its limbs are long enough, especially those produced by the two hind legs, which are more than three meters long.
After special methods of impurity removal and tanning, although the weight is only one-third of the wire rope of the same thickness, the load-bearing capacity is three times that of it, and the toughness is ten times, which is the best material for strong bow and crossbow bowstrings.
The Condor Bow made of the hind leg tendons of the Andes Giant Bear is the biggest dream of every Andes Mountain Hunter, this super strong bow is known to shoot down even the mountain eagle eagle soaring hundreds of feet in the air, and it is the standard configuration of every Condor Shooter, without the Condor Bow you can't become an Condor Archer.
The condor archer is a hunter who can shoot down the soaring eagle eagle, if the bow is not powerful, even if you have superb archery skills, it is useless.
Sean has also been coveting this kind of superb bow and arrow material for a long time, and even the matching bow body crossbow body has been suppressed two years ago, but it's a pity that Andes Giant Bear is not as stupid as it seems on the surface, and the bear's sex will also depend on the situation.
If it hadn't heard a bow sound before, it would never rush up, and in the process of charging, it was not Sean who came out, and it was very likely that it would have temporarily changed direction and fled.
Compared with the endurance of the Andes Giant Bear in good condition, even the hunting dogs are willing to give the upper hand, which is why Sean placed the hunting dogs in the distance, but the cunning Andes Giant Bear still sensed the breath of the children on the mountain beam, and almost fell short.
......
Long-haired hounds are typical of vigilant, Bird traps, between medium-sized dogs and large dogs, its night vision is the strongest of the three dogs, they usually rest during the day and the first half of the night, the second half of the night is when they are most energetic, it is difficult for hunters to escape its double detection net composed of sight and smell, a strong sense of responsibility makes them even in the face of death threats, they rarely leave their posts, Andis mountain people do not hesitate to use themselves as bait to lure away enemies, rescue the owner of the vivid examples, slender size and strong hind legs, so that they have more flexible steering and bounce ability, hunting low-flying birds is their specialty。
