Chapter 17: Roasted Bear's Paws
Qin Fei came to the front of the bear cave, under the birch tree. After climbing up, he sat on the branch and looked at the interior of the cave.
The brown bear was sleeping in the same position as last time, with its head facing out of the hole.
Qin Fei took out a wooden bow from his backpack, bent his bow and set an arrow, aimed at the brown bear's head, and shot an arrow....
The bow and arrow pierced the brown bear's right shoulder.
The bow is much worse than a shotgun, and the range is not as far as a shotgun. Even if the brown bear lay still and let Qin Fei aim and shoot, the arrow was still off.
'Whew! ’
When the brown bear was shot by the arrow, the pain woke it up from its slumber, and it rushed out of the hole.
Qin Fei's arrow had already caused the brown bear's right shoulder to start bleeding, but in fact, the damage of this arrow was far less than that of the previous shotgun.
Although the brown bear was awakened by the pain, it did not lose its mind and fled everywhere like last time.
It was just at the entrance of the cave, running back and forth very irritably for a short while, and then gradually calmed down. Subsequently, its keen sense of smell allowed it to spot Qin Fei hiding in the tree.
The brown bear glanced up at Qin Fei.
As a bear, with its IQ, it naturally didn't know that the arrow just now was shot by Qin Fei.
But since this brown bear found Qin Fei as an intruder on its own territory, it had to kill Qin Fei.
The brown bear walked under the tree where Qin Fei was hiding and began to climb up...
Depend on!
Qin Fei, who was watching from the tree, was shocked... Didn't you say that brown bears can't climb trees??
He was a little scared.
Originally, with Qin Fei's guts, he would only dare to shoot at the brown bear while it was asleep.
Animals also have emotions and hold grudges.
Now that the brown bear has completely woken up, in front of it, Qin Fei would never dare to shoot a bow and arrow, he was afraid of angering the brown bear.
But now the situation is different, this brown bear actually plans to climb the tree where Qin Fei is!
Qin Fei's heart was flustered.
If you don't make a move, your life will be lost....
The bear wasn't climbing the tree very fast, and it was only halfway there. Qin Fei subconsciously bent his bow and set up an arrow, aimed at the brown bear's head, and shot an arrow.
The distance between Qin Fei and this brown bear was too close. And he shot from a high place to a low place, so the arrow hit the brown bear in the head accurately.
The brown bear immediately screamed and fell from the tree.
It lay under the tree and howled, as if it was enduring great pain, and its limbs twitched from time to time.
Qin Fei looked at the bear-like appearance of this brown bear, and felt a little unbearable in his heart.
It's so miserable this...
But he also knew that sympathizing with this brown bear at this time was to bury his own life. Qin Fei bent his bow and arrows again, and made up another arrow towards the brown bear lying on the ground.
At such a close distance, shooting from a high place to a low place, Qin Fei naturally would not miss, and this arrow once again accurately hit the brown bear's head.
Brown bears aren't stupid.
After receiving two arrows in a row, it finally understood that these bows and arrows should have been shot by the person hiding in the tree.
The brown bear raised its head and glanced at Qin Fei with a slight humaneness, and there was actually a hint of horror in his eyes. It then struggled to get up from the ground, trying to escape.
But the brown bear had already been hit by Qin Fei's three arrows in a row, and two of the arrows were still shot on its head, so seriously injured that the brown bear fell to the ground again before he could take a few steps.
Take advantage of its illness and kill it.
Qin Fei bent his bow and arrows again, and made up for the brown bear's head again.
After this guy was hit by Qin Fei's fourth arrow, he finally lay on the ground and stopped moving.
But Qin Fei was not in a hurry, he stayed in the tree and made up four more arrows at the brown bear's head.
With Qin Fei's efforts, the brown bear's head was already densely packed with seven arrows.
Despite this, Qin Fei still did not let his guard down.
He lay down on the tree, and every once in a while, he threw a twig at the brown bear's place to see if the thing was dead.
Qin Fei was mainly worried that the brown bear was pretending to be dead.
Half an hour later.
Qin Fei, who was staying in the tree, really couldn't stand the cold, and at this time, he was basically sure that the brown bear was indeed dead, so he jumped down from the tree.
Qin Fei glanced at this brown bear, this size, to say the least, weighed three or four hundred kilograms. He couldn't bring it back anyway.
However, the friction of the snow was very small, and the brown bear's cave was right in front of him, so Qin Fei dragged the brown bear all the way and pulled it back to the vicinity of the mouth of the bear cave.
After all, the temperature outside was very low, and after staying outside for so long, Qin Fei was already a little unbearable at this time.
After dragging the bear's corpse to the entrance of the cave, Qin Fei lit a fire here again.
Compared to the snow outside, the temperature inside the cave was much warmer. Qin Fei hurried up and disposed of the bear's corpse in this cave.
There is a strong smell of brown bears in this cave. On the ground, there are still some brown bears that eat the leftover bones, and I don't know what kind of animal they are.
As for feces and the like, Qin Fei didn't see it.
But any wild animal with a little brain will not pull it casually in its own nest....
When dealing with the bear's corpse, Qin Fei didn't worry about it, these bloody smells would attract gray wolves or something.
In the territory of brown bears, not to mention gray wolves, even wolf fur may not be able to find one.
As long as the gray wolf smells the scent of a brown bear from a distance, they will stay away from it and will never actively trespass into the territory of the brown bear.
Qin Fei was extremely careful when using the dagger.
This bearskin, for example, is very useful.
If Qin Fei made this bear skin into clothes and wore it on his body. The smell emitted from this bear skin is something that even the gray wolf will unconsciously avoid when he sees it.
As for the internal organs, except for the stomach pouch and intestines, the rest were directly collected by Qin Fei into his backpack, planning to be used for fishing in the future, or as bait for traps....
In the wild, if there is no extreme scarcity of food, the liver of the animal can be eaten as much as possible.
Because carnivorous offal contains a high content of heavy metals, and eating a large amount of these offal can also cause vitamin A poisoning.
Of course, this was not the main reason why Qin Fei threw away his internal organs.
In his backpack, there were no other spices except a little garlic powder.
There is no big material to remove the fish, and the smell of these internal organs is very strong, and there is no way to eat it at all.
When disposing of the brown bear carcass, Qin Fei also put a tin can of snow on the fire and boiled some boiling water.
After that, he cut off half of the bear's paw, put it on the fire and roasted it, and this was his dinner today.
After all, bear's paws are bear's paws, and they are winter, and after being roasted on the fire for a while, they begin to come out with grease and a sizzling sound of oil.
The smell of meat fills the entire bear cave.
The foul body odor peculiar to brown bears in the cave was soon replaced by the smell of meat.
However, the garlic powder, salt and other seasonings in Qin Fei's backpack were really pitiful, and he himself was reluctant to put more, which caused the smell on the bear's paw to be unbearable.
It's super heavy to eat.
Still, after sprinkling garlic powder, the bear's paw will at least not make people spit out.
A bite of a fat bear's paw fills a mouth full of oil.
The feeling of eating high-fat food is so refreshing....
The satisfaction brought by the fat in the bear's paw was far better than the jerky that Qin Fei had eaten before.
Today is also an improvement in food.
