Taking the black bear at, Hua Yun also agreed quite a bit.
However, the two did not take away both black bears but left one behind.
According to Hua Yun, they should leave one to avoid angering the grizzly bear.
Chen Wen’s thought was that the reindeer might not be able to carry that much at.
The total amount of their food was already plentiful, taking more was unnecessary.
Getting an entry was enough.
So, Chen Wen and Hua Yun only took the corpse of the second black bear.
As for the older black bear, they let it lie there.
Perhaps it would beco a feast for other carnivores, or perhaps next spring it would beco a breeding ground for insects.
But in any case, it would return to the natural cycle in another form.
...
Inside the camp.
Because the black bear froze overnight, it beca completely stiff.
Hua Yun and Chen Wen could only place it beside the campfire to warm it up, to facilitate the next step of processing.
Looking at the dead black bear, Chen Wen and Hua Yun were okay.
After all, it wasn’t particularly large, like an oversized big dog.
But the reindeer was so nervous that it stomped its feet.
Finally, Chen Wen put a layer of rabbit skin over the reindeer’s head to calm it down.
The rabbit skin was also tanned and felt relatively soft.
Chen Wen rubbed the rabbit skin and asked Hua Yun, "Can this thing be made into a mask? The weather is getting colder, without a mask for warmth, breathing can be quite torturous."
Hua Yun thought for a bit, indeed needing to pay attention to breathing issues.
"It can be made, but this thing is not as soft as cotton, and the effect might be diocre."
Chen Wen nodded and said, "Since we can make it, let’s try it, it’ll do for so ti until we reach the town and exchange for so cotton masks."
This trip, Chen Wen estimated to encounter three small towns.
The first one, if they travel fast, could be reached in about ten days—this small town is the most crucial location.
The show’s crew is also there to exchange filming equipnt for the contestants.
The second small town is in the middle of the Yukon River, the largest in scale, likely taking more than a month to reach.
This small town is a branch of the show’s crew and can also exchange filming equipnt.
Moreover, this town is very famous for fur trade, with many fur rchants buying hunters’ pelts here.
As for the third town.
If everything goes smoothly, they might reach it in the final few days.
This town is more like a village, with not many people, and far from human society.
The show crew only contacted the town’s residents to inform them of this matter.
They don’t believe any contestant will reach here.
Upon hearing this, Hua Yun nodded, "The first town is crucial, we need to think ahead about what to exchange."
Chen Wen yawned and said, "In terms of food, vegetables, staple foods, in terms of use, warm stuff, or even portable fuel, in terms of residence, if there’s a winter tent, we can exchange for that, in terms of travel, that’s skis or sleds."
Eat, warmth, living, travel.
Chen Wen’s summary was quite comprehensive.
Hua Yun agreed with Chen Wen’s opinion.
But looking at Chen Wen, who was quite drowsy, she kindly said, "There’s nothing much to do right now, you rest first."
Chen Wen nodded.
He was indeed very tired.
The aftereffect of [Transformation (North Arican Grizzly Bear)] was the most severe one he encountered so far.
This fatigue disregarded his ntal state and forced itself upon him.
He was pushing through in the morning to explore with Hua Yun.
Since Hua Yun suggested it, Chen Wen certainly wouldn’t be pretentious.
...
Chen Wen was awakened by the enticing aroma of at.
He opened his eyes to see the lynx leisurely eating a piece of cooked bear at in front of his face.
"Hmm...you guy, why are you eating right in front of my face?"
Chen Wen rubbed his eyes and yawned.
The feeling of tiredness had lessened a lot.
Seeing Chen Wen awake, the lynx quickly grabbed the at and slipped under the Golden Eagle.
The Golden Eagle was indifferent to cooked food.
But the lynx could accept it.
And since the lynx decided to travel with Chen Wen, it felt the need to adapt to the rules of human society in advance.
After getting up, Chen Wen rubbed his belly, indeed feeling a bit hungry.
He walked to the campfire where Hua Yun was processing the remaining bear hide and flesh.
"What ti is it?"
Upon hearing him, Hua Yun looked at her watch: "One thirty in the afternoon."
"Ha~ I slept for quite a long ti!"
Chen Wen stretched lazily to fully wake his body up.
He uncovered the pot to find the bear at left by Hua Yun inside.
As for the black bear’s entry, Chen Wen didn’t have much expectation.
He felt that he was capable of handling any survival challenges ahead.
Seeing Chen Wen intending to eat, Hua Yun reminded him, "I’ve already eaten, no need to leave any."
"Also, after eating, rember to cut the bear at into pieces for processing, I’m going outside for a bit."
Saying that, Hua Yun left the dagger and cleaver and walked out of the camp taking an axe.
The lynx briskly gulped down the at and followed her.
The lynx had only slightly less fondness for Hua Yun compared to Chen Wen.
After all, Hua Yun was the one who saved it.
Watching Hua Yun’s departing figure, Chen Wen scratched his head.
Why did Hua Yun’s tone seem so familiarly thievish?
Never mind, let’s deal with the entry first!
Chen Wen put a bite of bear at in his mouth, imdiately tasting the delicious flavor.
The savory taste awakened his taste buds, making Chen Wen salivate.
"Damn, this is so good!"
Chen Wen was stunned, the black bear’s at turned out tastier than the grizzly bear’s!
The grizzly bear’s at, except for so fat-laden parts, was rather dry in texture.
And the flavor was oddly peculiar.
But the black bear at gave Chen Wen a sensation of eating beef.
Moreover, the taste was quite pleasant without any weird odor.
At this mont, the Golden Eagle, who had been dazing in its nest, poked its head out.
It slowly said, "I once ate bear at, a piece of highly rotten bear at, probably black bear, their at is indeed tastier."
"Talking about highly rotten at while eating."
Chen Wen chided lightly.
Was he teaching too many words to the Golden Eagle?
This guy even knew about "highly rotten" now.
No longer paying attention to the Golden Eagle’s babble about its glorious past, Chen Wen turned to select an entry.
