HUN Chapter 73: Bear Hunting Achievement Unlocked!

Lin Yu'an calmly drew his bow, aiming at the inner thigh area where the femoral artery was located!

"Whoosh!"

The three-blade hunting arrow left the string!

At a distance of only seven to eight meters from the black bear, with his spatially enhanced perception, Lin Yu'an had one hundred percent confidence that this arrow would absolutely hit the target area!

The arrow's speed and accuracy reached their peak!

With almost no deviation, it shot deeply into the inner side of the black bear's thigh root!

The sharp three-blade arrowhead instantly severed the femoral artery hidden beneath the thin inner skin!

"ROARRR!"

The black bear's scream became unusually shrill and brief in this moment, filled with the terror of life rapidly ebbing away!

It suddenly stopped rolling, struggling to stand up, but the consequences of the severed femoral artery were immediate!

A torrent of blood, like a fire hydrant with its valve opened, gushed from the wound at its thigh root!

Instantly staining the white snow beneath into a shocking deep red!

It abandoned attacking Lin Yu'an, even abandoned thinking, leaving only the most primitive survival instinct!

Dragging its severely injured body, it instinctively fled toward the forest from which it had come.

It left a shocking trail of blood in the snow.

Lin Yu'an didn't immediately pursue.

He stood in place, breathing heavily, his chest heaving violently.

Watching the black bear's swaying figure disappear into the forest, and the dramatic blood loss in the snow, he knew this battle was actually over.

"With the femoral artery severed, it won't get far," his voice was absolutely certain.

Lin Yu'an gripped his bow tightly, alertly waiting in place for about ten minutes. After confirming the black bear hadn't returned, he began tracking along that all-too-obvious blood trail.

The blood trail in the snow was horrifying, winding and extending deep into the forest like a red river.

Lin Yu'an maintained high vigilance, his bear spray always ready to deploy, following step by step.

He had tracked for less than two hundred meters when he found the black bear beside a depression covered with snow.

It lay quietly on its side in the snow, its massive body surrounded by white snow completely soaked with gushing blood, forming a heart-stopping deep red area.

Lin Yu'an stared for another ten minutes, confirming it had completely lost all signs of life.

Only at this moment did Lin Yu'an finally completely relax his tense nerves!

Looking at this motionless giant at his feet, he felt something awakening within his heart.

He slowly straightened up, surveying this snow field stained red with blood, and the camera on his chest silently recording everything.

He had won.

In this direct confrontation with Grizzly Mountain's powerful predator, he had achieved ultimate victory.

He could no longer suppress his inner excitement, suddenly raising his hunting bow toward the azure sky and letting out a powerful roar!

"F*ck! Guys! I did it! All by myself, I hunted down an adult American black bear!"

His voice echoed through the quiet snowy forest, filled with a conqueror's pride and absolute confidence in his abilities.

Lin Yu'an's mindset also completed its transformation at this moment!

After more than seventy days of tempering, he had become a true hunter in this instant!

He had even completely fallen in love with this feeling of wilderness life! Acquiring food, battling against nature's mighty forces!

He walked to the massive black bear's side, touching its still-warm, thick black and glossy fur with his hand.

This was a robust adult male bear. He estimated its weight would yield at least over one hundred kilograms of meat.

"Now I can definitely pop the champagne! Saying I've already secured the championship ahead of time isn't excessive, right?"

After the brief excitement, Lin Yu'an quickly calmed down.

While the bear carcass hadn't frozen solid yet, he had to process this massive body as quickly as possible, which was undoubtedly another extremely monumental task.

First, he pulled out the two arrows with three-blade hunting points from the black bear's carcass, along with several ordinary arrows.

Despite the fierce battle, the two three-blade hunting arrows remained completely intact and were returned to the quiver.

Two ordinary arrows had broken shafts, so only the heads could be kept while the shafts were discarded.

Lin Yu'an began preliminary processing.

Facing such a massive animal, his multi-tool seemed somewhat inadequate.

He remembered that among the items the production team provided, there seemed to be small blades, perfect for skinning the bear.

First, using the sharp blade of his multi-tool, he positioned the midline on the black bear's soft abdominal skin.

Then, bit by bit with the small blade, he cut through the fat connecting skin and meat.

The black bear's hide was extremely tough, and the subcutaneous fat layer was unusually thick. He needed considerable strength to gradually move the blade.

After the entire abdominal cavity's external barrier was cut open, he began the most labor-intensive work of opening the body cavity.

"Bears are omnivores with very complex diets. Their intestines may contain large amounts of bacteria."

"And they may also carry trichinella and other parasites deadly to humans."

"So all bear meat must, must, must be thoroughly cooked before consumption, reaching temperatures above 71°C to kill any possible parasite eggs."

He carefully cut the mesentery connecting the intestines with his knife, then used both hands.

With great effort, he dragged the huge and heavy stomach and tangled intestinal system completely out of the abdominal cavity.

After processing the intestines, the abdominal cavity became much more manageable.

Lin Yu'an reached into the warm abdominal cavity and began removing those precious edible organs.

He first found the massive, deep red liver.

"Guys, bear liver is a very controversial part," he said, carefully cradling the liver and cutting the tissues connecting it with his knife.

"On one hand, it's rich in iron and various vitamins, extremely nutritious. But on the other hand, because of its excessively high vitamin A content, consumption can cause human poisoning, even death."

"My advice is, never eat it, because you never know how much vitamin A is in that bite of bear liver you're eating."

Next, he very carefully found the dark green gallbladder attached to the liver.

"Guys, this is the bear gallbladder. It's considered to have medicinal value, but in Canada, especially in BC, the law has extremely strict regulations about this."

Lin Yu'an said while using his knife tip to completely separate the entire gallbladder.

"According to BC hunting regulations, after killing a bear, possessing, selling, or transporting bear gallbladders is strictly prohibited."

"This is to combat illegal bear bile trade and protect bear populations. According to regulations, after hunting bears, the gallbladder must be buried on site."

Without hesitation, he dug a small pit to bury it, ensuring the camera recorded this process.

But through his two-meter spatial storage range, he silently collected it back into his space.

After all, this bear gallbladder was quite valuable in Chinatown. Let it achieve true optimal use!

After handling this sensitive part, he removed the massive heart.

The two kidneys, hidden deep on both sides of the spine and wrapped in thick fat, were also completely extracted.

"Bear kidneys are also edible with high nutritional value, but like processing deer kidneys, the key is removing the 'scent glands' and ureters."

He precisely opened the kidney with his knife tip, pointing to the white parts in the middle.

"These parts must be thoroughly removed clean, otherwise there will be a very strong gamey smell that's enough to ruin the entire dish."

After all organs were removed and properly categorized, just as he was preparing to begin skinning work, a familiar roar of helicopter rotors approaching from afar suddenly broke the forest silence.
