Chapter 174: Chapter 171: A Deer Head Sparks a Bloodbath
Bi Fang dragged the large deer through the snow, curiously switching the camera to the live stream, only to discover that Etienne was sitting pretty in the middle of the lake as if nothing had happened.
“You all must help me keep this a secret, I’m afraid Master Fang will be angry, Etienne instructed the audience.
[Obviously, everyone gets it, no sweat]
[There he is! The typo guy! I’ve noticed every time there’s a typo in the comments, it’s you typing them out!]
[Etienne did well, a star of the Wilderness Master in the making. Today, even I, with my tight purse strings, couldn’t help but tip him]
[Don’t worry, we’ll keep your secret. What landing ashore and grappling with lynxes? Never heard of it, Old Fang won’t know]
[Still, it was very dangerous this time. Better not to do it again next time.] Etienne chuckled, Bi Fang had warned him a thousand times not to go ashore, yet he didn’t listen and even grappled with the lynx on land.
Even though the lynx ended up with a scratched paw and ran away, in essence, what happened was still wrong, and Etienne knew it.
It was certainly best if the netizens were willing to keep it secret for now.
Unfortunately, Etienne thought that Bi Fang couldn’t see the bullet screen or what was going on his end, little did he know that Bi Fang had been monitoring every move, and just a quick look through the stream’s records would reveal everything.
But for now, Bi Fang had to pretend as if he knew nothing.
“Actually, this time I set a wrong example. Experienced hunters tend to avoid chasing game directly; the more you chase an animal when it’s startled, the faster it will run. In the end, not only are you likely to get injured, but it’s also easy to get lost. Don’t underestimate an animal’s fight for survival when it’s at death’s door.”
“But I was worried the reindeer would run too far, and the chase would drag on into the night. I might get lost, and that would be troublesome. Besides, the limping reindeer was limited in speed and had suffered such a serious injury, that’s why I made a decisive strike.”
[In the end, it’s still Master Fang that’s amazing!]
[So strong it’s boundless!]
[Stop blowing smoke, Old Fang can’t see it anyway.]
Dragging the reindeer back to the lakeside, Etienne got onto the glider and disembarked, praising the reindeer behind him over and over.
For such a young age, his acting was so naturally flawless; it was a pity not to mix into the entertainment industry since there was no sign of the previous tussle with the lynx.
But just when everyone thought all was well, Bi Fang, without a word, called back the drone and started reviewing the playback.
Uh-oh, busted!
Etienne’s face froze, not at all expecting this move.
When Bi Fang saw the scene of Etienne driving away the injured lynx, silence
spoke louder than words.
“It’s over.”
Etienne hung his head, expecting Bi Fang to scold him, but to his surprise, Bi Fang just rubbed Etienne’s head and gave him a thumbs up: “Well done.”
Etienne instantly looked up, full of surprise.
“What? Thought I would scold you?” Bi Fang laughed, “You’ve got guts, daring to face off against a lynx all by yourself.”
Etienne was overjoyed.
“So gutsy that I want to send you off right now.”
Etienne’s face fell, knowing things weren’t so simple.
[Hahaha, that twist was superb!]
[Excellent!]
[Wait, Master Fang isn’t serious, is he?]
[I find this stream so interesting, don’t cut it off!]
The online friends wailed.
“If I hadn’t caught this reindeer, I definitely would’ve sent you back.” Having reached this stage in the plan, Bi Fang didn’t want to give up easily. With the reindeer, at least he wouldn’t have to hunt for a week, and he could keep an eye on Etienne.
Moreover, Etienne’s performance truly gave him a pleasant surprise; the outcome was ultimately positive, so he reluctantly forgave the impulsiveness this time.
Which is more important, life or the act of living, shouldn’t be a subject of honest debate, but rather an understanding that varies between different social strata.
However, there won’t be a next time. Bi Fang will keep an eye on Etienne, and if he doesn’t listen again, he’ll be sent straight home to raise geese for the rest of his life.
Understanding but not accepting, he’s such a hypocrite.
“You should feel lucky.”
“Yay!”
The reprieved Etienne jumped up and helped Bi Fang drag the reindeer over, showing great enthusiasm.
“Look, I found these nearby!” Etienne handed over several black stones.
“Flint Stone?” Bi Fang exclaimed in surprise.
“Yes, I found them under the rocks over there. I remember you explained during your livestream that these stones can be used to make weapons and start fires, so I should be correct,” Etienne pointed to a large boulder nearby, the very place where the lynx had just been.
“Not bad.”
Bi Fang hadn’t expected this windfall and, as before, he cleared away the snow from the ground, collected tinder, and then started a fire using the flint stone and the charcoal he had previously.
Sparks from the flint stone lit up the darkness, and in no time, flames erupted. After warming himself by the fire for a while, Bi Fang propped up his clothes to dry. They hadn’t dried completely from his previous soaking and were wet again, making him long for the times when he had a backpack and a change of clothes.
“Next, we need to process the reindeer, and we have to be quick before it freezes solid.”
Bi Fang pulled the reindeer over, touched its body, and sure enough, it was still warm and its fur soft.
“I don’t slaughter the animals where I kill them, because that might attract more animals.”
“This reindeer is a big one, and quite a hassle to deal with. First, we need to bleed it.”
“We have to grab the animal’s hind legs and hang it up, cut its throat, and let the blood flow out. If it’s a larger animal, it’s hard to hang it up by yourself. In that case, you should use the terrain to position the animal’s head facing downhill so that the blood can flow out with the help of gravity.”
Bi Fang and Etienne grabbed the reindeer, lifting it onto the large boulder next to them, the entire process being extremely strenuous.
[Wasn’t the strange fish last time much heavier? Old Fang could move it, so why is this so strenuous?]
[Did he secretly find a girlfriend behind our backs?]
[Moderation, Master Fang! Lust is a bone-scraping steel knife! I won’t let you indulge yourself like this; step aside and let me do it!]
“Moderation, my ass,” the barrage nearly took the wind out of Bi Fang.
“Pulling and lifting are completely different actions. Deadlifting can be said to use the combined strength of the whole body, and it is one of the three major power movements in the gym. A well-trained person could even pull more than three times their own body weight. But when it comes to lifting, being able to lift twice your weight is already very impressive, and three times is beyond even Olympic champions.”
After lifting the reindeer onto the boulder, Bi Fang took out his harpoon, cut the reindeer’s throat, and warm blood flowed out.
Without wasting a drop, Bi Fang caught it all in an empty plastic bottle, one of the few items left from the glider.
“You need to make sure you cut the jugular vein and that the blood starts flowing out, from ear to ear. If you’re not sure where the jugular vein is, then just cut off the whole head. The blood can be preserved too, and after boiling and sterilizing it, it can be eaten.”
“Many indigenous people have the habit of drinking raw blood, which isn’t good, because animal blood may contain pathogens or parasites.” [Lord Mu sends 10 Spaceships to the streamer-Old Fang, can you bring that deer head back for me?]
[Damn, how did I not think of that? I really want it too!]
[Damn, that’s so cool! I want to hang it in my living room! Just like the big shots in the movies!]
[Lin Chang sends 20 Spaceships to the streamer-Give it to me! I want it, too!] [Nanana sends 5 Spaceships to the streamer-Wah, I’m not as rich as the tycoons, but can you send one to me too, wailing!]
[Damn it, if I weren’t broke, I’d fight for it too!]
The act of Yao Jun asking for the deer head set the live broadcast room ablaze. What could be more exciting than collecting a complete deer head?
Look at these antlers, they are so big and thick. And that deer head, both handsome and wild, would be absolutely awesome hanging in a living room!
Not to mention that it was hunted by Bi Fang using the most primitive methods, with video to prove it!
