Chapter 1208: The Meat of the Great Jin Hu

The great Jin Hu no longer crouched, instead poking its body out directly from behind a pine tree, then lowered its waist to accelerate; in the blink of an eye, it arrived before the people of the Jiuli.

The great Jin Hu had not selected which one it wanted to eat, because these people were different from other wild beasts; those grass-eating beasts were always very alert, eyes constantly scouting all around, observing the situation at all times.

These humans were not like that at all, paying no attention to the surrounding environment, and instead making very loud noises, as if they wanted every living thing to know they were there.

But that was no problem either; after all, with such a large scale, ordinary beasts really wouldn't think of doing anything, but was the mountain lord great Jin Hu an ordinary beast?

It was merely afraid that if the commotion were too great, these prey would run away.

Now it was no longer afraid; it jumped straight onto their faces, randomly picked an unlucky soul, and struck down with one paw, causing them to lose all reaction immediately; it then took the opportunity to turn around and pounce on another, and just by opening its wide mouth, it smelled a scent of urine, a smell it also liked.

If you do not have absolute ability, do not urinate at will in such a wilderness; if you are a human, when urinating, you must stay far away from your dwelling, and the same goes for defecating, never do it at the entrance.

Because urine is not just simple excretion; declaring territory does not exist among humans, but in the eyes of other beasts, this is a sign of the presence of prey, and after mammals die, their bowels and bladder lose control, so the smell of urine usually also implies there is a corpse, which will attract beasts to come over.

With one bite from the great Jin Hu, its prey's neck snapped instantly; the salty blood it loved most rushed into its throat, and it was incredibly satisfying, stimulating its eyes to turn red again in an instant.

But it also felt an inexplicable pain in its leg; when it screamed and turned its head, it discovered countless wooden sticks stabbing toward it; it had never seen humans hunt, but from the humans' expressions, it did not see fear, but rather the vicious madness of a beast hunting.

Qianxi stabbed the final spear into the heart of the great Jin Hu, declaring the death of this great Jin Hu that had followed them for several days.

Seeing that it had completely stopped breathing, Qianxi squatted down directly, used his hands to cup a bit of the blood flowing from the tiger's heart, and then poured it directly into his mouth.

The other Soldiers followed suit, one after another beginning to drink the tiger's blood, but this tiger's blood was not enough for so many of them to drink; the Leader and Yangasha naturally could not let it pass either, and also drank a little.

Drinking tiger blood was not for anything else, but for resisting the cold; after a mouthful of tiger blood went down, everyone's face turned a bit red on the spot, and then their whole bodies gradually turned red.

Qianxi was the most extreme, his whole body looking as if it had been scalded, abnormally ruddy, but everyone was accustomed to it and said nothing.

This is something hunters everywhere know, and it is also one of their habits, especially in Winter; they will drink raw blood in extremely cold conditions, but it is basically mostly deer blood.

Because here, deer are the most common wild beasts; the cattle common to Huaxia and the Xuanyuan Tribe can be said to be almost unseen here, and the effect of deer blood is also very good.

But children cannot drink it, children cannot handle it, and adults feel uncomfortable after drinking it too; one must find women to handle it, but now in the ice and snow, it is actually fine, and it can provide some effect of resisting the cold.

Already hot to the extreme, Qianxi tore off his clothes directly, and then, basically half-naked, began to use a Small Knife to skin this great Jin Hu.

The two injured tribesmen were long past saving; the chest of the Soldier who had been struck by one paw had collapsed, how could he be saved? And another had his neck snapped; when everyone dragged him up, his head could touch his back, and although the person was still warm, his life was no longer warm.

There was certainly sadness, but having seen death often, everyone was not too sad; they just took the things off the tribesmen, threw them to the side, and the final outcome for these two Soldiers was to be eaten by other beasts; their Jiuli did not yet have the concept of funerals.

The skin of the great Jin Hu was peeled away bit by bit, revealing thick fat; this hide was also a good thing, and although there were many holes in it, as long as one stitched them up, it would not be visible, and it could be used normally.

Besides, the value of this great Jin Hu was very high; how many great Jin Hu could the entire Jiuli hunt back in a year? Every time they hunted one, didn't they have to lose several Soldiers just like now?

And most of the time, the Soldiers died, and this great Jin Hu still wasn't hunted; that was the truly losing business.

The meat was cut off piece by piece; the Soldiers who had originally prepared to travel quickly could now only stop first to butcher this carcass; this could be considered an unexpected gain.

Disemboweling the body, Qianxi cut out the still-scalding heart and handed it to the Leader; this was for the Leader to eat; if Chiyou were here, it would certainly be Chiyou's, but the Leader here was now the Leader.

Everyone simply sat down on the spot and started a fire to roast the meat to eat; for the past two days they had been unable to leave the cave, so naturally they had no way to hunt; their stored Dry Rations were almost gone, but since they would be able to reach the Jiuli soon, they were not panicked at all in their hearts even without Dry Rations.

Not to mention whether they could hunt prey to eat, even if they didn't eat a single thing and only drank water, they could still reach the tribe before starving to death.

Now that they suddenly had food, the Soldiers who had been hungry for several days began to eat right there.

The great Jin Hu was very big, but compared to this team of theirs, it was still not quite enough to go around.

As the Leader, a heart larger than his fist was enough to make him full, but he still wanted to eat the meat from other parts of the great Jin Hu; after all, he had never eaten it before, and in the future, he probably wouldn't be able to eat it for many years; there would be no opportunity.

The taste of internal organs is basically much the same for all animals, and the Leader didn't taste any particularly good flavor, especially since it was roasted directly like this.

But he had to eat it; this was a symbol of status and power; if he gave up this piece of meat, there would be plenty of people wanting to eat it.

However, he still ate a small piece; as for his appetite, it was still very large; the stomach is something that has room if you squeeze a bit.

It's just that the meat of the great Jin Hu wasn't that delicious, having a bit of a sour taste, but fortunately, it wasn't that hard to eat either.

Just as they were scraping the meat clean, the Leader suddenly remembered: "Doesn't Huaxia want bones? Keep them, keep them; let's take them back; what if we need to trade with Huaxia in the future?

And those eggs and such, take them too; the King of Huaxia likes to eat this thing."
