Time stands still in this space, so there's no fear of bear bile loss.

Chang Kun thought to himself, but said to Li Lei, "Let's go, let's hurry up and take the bear gallbladders off."

After crossing two hills, Chang Kun made up an excuse and ran into the woods nearby, where he threw a brown bear out of his spatial storage.

"Li Lei, the brown bear is here!"

Li Lei rushed over, shouting, "I'll do it! I'll do the gutting!"

Fearing that Chang Kun was not skilled at ripping, Li Lei took out a cleaver, made an incision in the brown bear's throat, and cut downwards.

After gutting the bear, Li Lei carefully cut off the protective branch of the bear's heart, picked up the bear gallbladder, and handed it to Chang Kun.

He muttered to himself, "Thank goodness, not much bile was lost."

This was a green gallbladder, about the size of two fists. Chang Kun put it into his cloth bag; this was the most valuable thing about the bear.

Li Lei wiped the sweat from his brow and continued bending down to dissect the bear, cutting off its kneecaps, nose, and four paws.

"Brother Chang, this thing is too big for the two of us to carry back. Let's take these valuables first."

Chang Kun nodded: "Okay, see if you can help me sell these bear gallbladders later?"

Processing bear bile requires soaking it in water and air-drying it for a long time, and Chang Kun really didn't want to spend that much time.

"That's easy to discuss. I'll trade you other things for bear bile later, and I guarantee you'll be satisfied."

As Li Lei spoke, his hands never stopped working. He tied the four bear paws together with hemp rope, and Chang Kun and he each hung two around their necks before getting up and walking back.

Brown bears have an imposing presence, and other small animals dare not approach them from afar just by smelling their aroma. With the bear meat stored in the mountains, Chang Kun and Li Lei are not afraid that any animals will come to eat it.

The two returned to the breeding base with the bear paws hanging from their paws and hired someone to drag the brown bear out of the mountains.

"What? You killed another brown bear?" Zou Shengrong took the bear paw, somewhat incredulous.

His three brothers-in-law had just brought back a black bear that Chang Kun had killed, and in the blink of an eye Chang Kun came back saying he had killed a brown bear. If it weren't for the fresh bear paws right in front of him, he would have really thought Chang Kun was joking.

There are black bears in the mountains and forests of Northeast China, quite a few of them. But the mountains are high and the forests are dense, and hunters usually use dogs to hunt. Who can be like Chang Kun, wandering around in the mountains and encountering black bears every day?!

"Ah Da, Ah Er, Ah San, you guys hurry up and go with Chang Kun to bring the brown bear back."

The three Chen brothers followed Chang Kun's instructions and continued on their way. When they were almost at the location of the brown bear, Chang Kun suddenly waved his hand and called for a stop.

"Let's go back, we don't want the brown bear anymore."

The three Chen brothers were dumbfounded. They ran up the mountain and then said they didn't want the brown bear anymore. What kind of trick was the Chang brothers playing?

Chang Kun's expression was grave, and he told the three of them to quickly walk away.

Chen Ada was older and knew Chang Kun must have a reason for doing this. Only after they had walked quite a distance did he ask, "Brother Chang, is there any danger over there?"

Looking back and seeing that they were indeed far away, Chang Kun wiped the sweat from his forehead and pointed in the direction of the brown bear: "Over there, next to the brown bear is a mountain king!"

Just as we were approaching the brown bear's location, I suddenly sensed a Siberian tiger.

Chang Kun didn't even see how it appeared; he only felt a blur before the tiger appeared.

It was currently enjoying its meal while lying on the brown bear, unaware that several people were about to bump into it.

"A mountain lord?!"

"tiger?!"

"The Mountain God?!"

The three Chen brothers suddenly stopped in their tracks, their eyes widening as they turned to stare at Chang Kun.

This place is very close to the main road outside the mountains, and it's terrifying that a tiger came here!

They almost rushed straight into the tiger's face, truly teetering on the brink of death!

Thinking of this, the three Chen brothers broke out in a cold sweat.

Chang Kun wasn't too scared. There were four of them with four guns. Even if they missed the tiger, they would scare it away.

Unfortunately, I used up all 10 of my "One Hit Kill" chances today, mostly by attacking the flying dragon.

Otherwise, if the tiger dares to attack people, let it know what a sharpshooter is.

At this time, tigers, giant pandas, golden monkeys, and other animals have become protected animals, but if they attack people on their own initiative, Chang Kun will not be polite.

I won't offend others unless they offend me; but if a tiger offends me, then I'll be sorry...

Humans climbed to the top of the food chain over tens of thousands of years, not through charity.

Chang Kun and his three companions left happily, but returned empty-handed.

Zou Shengrong was squatting in the yard burning bear paw fur when he saw the group return empty-handed, which surprised him.

"Brother-in-law, we saw a tiger today! We almost couldn't get back!"

As soon as Chen Asan entered the compound, he started shouting and bragging about his heroic feat of seeing a tiger.

"What?"

Zou Shengrong jumped up and grabbed his brother-in-law's arm, ready to ask him in detail.

Chen Asan had no idea what was going on. He had only heard Chang Kun mention it briefly. When he saw that his brother-in-law wanted to ask for clarification, he quickly broke free, muttering to himself.

"Brother-in-law, the smell of that bear paw you burned is awful. You can ask Chang Kun about it yourself later."

Absolutely! The smell of burning bear paw fur is incredibly pungent, even worse than burning plastic.

It's not easy to eat bear paws. You have to burn off the bear paw fur with fire, soak the bear paw in water, and then use a brush to clean off all the charred black residue.

"You're back just in time. Go and roast the bear paws, then clean them thoroughly." Zou Shengrong handed the job over to his brother-in-law and pulled Chang Kun aside to ask him about the tiger in detail.

Upon learning that the tiger had come attracted by the scent of the brown bear's blood, Zou Shengrong breathed a slight sigh of relief, hoping the tiger would leave after it had eaten its fill.

First there was a killer bear, now there's a tiger. Things are really not peaceful.

The three Chen brothers were cleaning bear paws. Zou Shengrong lit a fire to boil a pot of water, then put two bear paws in to cook, while the other two were reserved for Chang Kun to take home.

He poured in half a bottle of liquor and a few scallions, then slowly skimmed off the floating blood foam. After cleaning it, he didn't add any seasonings and instructed his brother-in-law to slowly add firewood to the fire.

Gradually, a unique fragrance wafted up.

Chen Asan sniffed the air: "Brother-in-law, how are you going to cook this bear paw?"

"Braised in soy sauce, that's the most authentic way to cook it."

Chen Asan couldn't stop drooling as he stared longingly at the bear paw in the pot.

Two hours later, the aroma became even stronger, making everyone's mouths water.

That night, Chang Kun ate bear paw for the first time.

The braised bear paw has a thick, gelatinous texture. Upon first bite, you're greeted with the aroma of soy sauce, followed by the rich, creamy flavor of the meat fat. The tendons slowly melt in your mouth, accompanied by the mellow taste of pine.

It truly lives up to its reputation as a dish worthy of state banquets; the taste is simply indescribable.

After the meal, Li Lei went to the base to find Chang Kun.

"Chang Kun, didn't you want me to help you sell those bear gallbladders? I've brought something to trade with you, how about it?"

Chang Kun nodded. It was good that the bear bile could be disposed of here; otherwise, it would have taken home and dried for a long time.

Li Lei took out two pieces of bark from his bag. The bark was closed together, and it seemed that something was inside.

He gently opened the box and waved it in front of Chang Kun, who was about to take a closer look.

Zou Shengrong, who was standing to the side, stood up with a thud, knocking over the stool he was sitting on.

He asked in a trembling voice, "Club? Fifth-grade leaf?"
