29 The Hunt 3 (2/2)

”Either attack their neck or hind legs, don't attack the body or head, you'll ruin this great delicacy. Just make sure they can't run!” (CH)

”Okay!” (YX)

Chen Hanchen took out his dagger and took aim, Yan Xiu held his javelin and took aim as well.

”Throw at my signal.” (CH)

”Okay.” (YX)

Their breathing synchronized, the grip on their weapon's tightened, the deer's head rose and Chen Hanchen's yelled as his dagger shot out.

”Now!” (CH)

Chen Hanchen's dagger embedded deeply into the horned deer's neck and threw it to the ground, Yan Xiu's javelin was late by a beat but still hit it's target, it stabbed to the hornless deer's hind leg. Chen Hanchen ran out of the bushes with the rest following him, he went to the horned deer and quickly snapped it's neck.

”Quick, kill the other deer!” (CH)

”Okay!” (XG)

Xin Guodan moved and snapped the still struggling hornless deer's neck. When he turned around, he saw Chen Hanchen already hanged the horned deer upside down, bleeding it, then butchering it when it's done bleeding. Without waiting Chen Hanchen's order, Yan Xiu and the two apprentice hunters moved.

Xin Guodan and Shuang Jingu pulled up the hornless deer and hanged it upside down, Yan Xiu already took out a knife he borrowed from Chen Hanchen and prepared to butchered the hornless deer. Under an hour, both the deer were butchered. Except for some part, nothing was wasted. The butchered flesh was sitting on top of a big leaves.

Chen Hanchen was staring at the meat with greed and desire, Yan Xiu and the other two apprentice hunters were confused by his series of action. Bai Yuan, however, already knew the reason for Chen Hanchen's inexplicable action after a whiffed of the meat's scent, the smell was absolutely delicious!

After tasting Yan Xiu's dishes, Bai Yuan had lost interest in uncooked and raw meat, but these meat could make him drool even when it's raw, it was apparent just how delicious the meat taste. Looking at Bai Yuan and Chen Hanchen's expression, Yan Xiu knew what was going on.

”Senior, this deer, it tastes good, isn't it?” (YX)

”Absolutely! Their meat usually taste horrible but there are times when their meat turn delicious, when they asleep and when they're eating. To preserve the meat taste, we need to kill the deer fast, before the move too much, as the more they move the more the meat taste deteriorate! That's why I'm in rush before.” (CH)

If it was before, Chen Hanchen wouldn't react so much and tried so hard to hunt the deer. But with his tongue conquered by Yan Xiu's delicious cooking, he slowly desired more delicious things. Thinking of this already tasty meat turned even more delicious under Yan Xiu's hand, drool already filled his mouth.

Yan Xiu only sighed and didn't mind it, afyer all, he too was curious just how tasty the meat was. Looking at the meat, he already planned on what dish it would be turned into. In the way back, he collected some wide thin stone.

When Xin Guodan and Shuang Jingu heard Chen Hanchen, they felt he was exaggerating, but soon, they too would be conquered. All the meat was loaded onto Bai Yuan and he carried them like it was weightless as they returned to the camp.
