Eastern Snowfield.

A huge beast is looking for food on the snow. This is an elephant bear. It has a shiny brown-black fur. Its four-meter-high body makes it look very oppressive. Its huge palm can easily It digs up rocks and snow to find the snow worms hidden deep under the snow.

Although the herd of beasts had been driven back into the mountains, occasionally, there would still be one or two wild beasts wandering outside on the plain.However, it is usually difficult for a lone beast to have any impact on a fully armed team.

Even in the eastern plains, the elephant bear with an absolute size advantage is the same.Human weapons and tools allow them to always gain an advantage in individual contests with wild beasts.

In the east and west of the ice sheet where giant beasts are rare, the elephant bear with a shoulder height of up to six meters is already an absolutely huge individual.

But the origin of their name is not only because of their elephant-like body shape, but also because of their stubby trunk shaped like an elephant.

And this is why this elephant bear will be targeted.

On the snow field, behind a snow slope.

Al wore a helmet lying on the ground in the snow, looked at the elephant bear walking not far away, blinked, and asked Liu Yuan beside him.

"Liuyuan, is it really all right?"

"Hmm." On the other side of Xuepo, Liu Yuan said while sitting there, loading bullets into his revolver.

"Its nose, palm, and jaw meat are delicious, and we are lucky."

As he said that, Liu Yuan had already loaded the bullets, turned the bullet nest, and flicked it with his backhand, and threw the bullet nest into the gun body.

"Yeah." Al responded softly. This was the first time she and Liuyuan hunted wild animals together. If she said she wasn't nervous, it must be a lie.

But she wasn't too nervous. After all, she had experienced so many things, and she was no longer the child who was always frightened.

At least, her mind has matured a lot.

No way, although it is cruel to say, but losing is obviously one of the fastest ways for people to grow.

"Crack."

Squatting on the snow slope, Liu Yuan buckled the firing pin of the pistol, and aimed the gun at the giant bear down the slope.

"Huh." She exhaled lightly, and then, there was a gunshot.

"boom!"

The smell of gunpowder filled the air, and the sound of gunfire echoed in the snowfield.

The bullet sank into the elephant bear's neck, and a spray of blood exploded between its fur and flesh.

"Roar!" Xiang Xiong roared in pain, and then turned his head to look at Liu Yuan who was squatting on the snow slope.

Yanagihara's revolver had been refitted by a gunsmith, so it could use large-caliber bullets to increase its power, and the thick and long barrel ensured its range and accuracy.

But while the lethality is huge, this gun has a lot of recoil, so if it is used by an ordinary person, it will take up to three shots, and it will not be able to continue shooting due to wrist damage.

However, who made Liu Yuan be Liu Yuan.

From a certain point of view, this gun was a natural match with her.

Because of the angle, Liu Yuan's first shot didn't kill Xiangxiong directly, so Xiangxiong turned around and charged up the snowy slope.

When the four-meter-high beast charged, the momentum was obviously huge, which made Al's face turn pale.

The distance of more than 50 meters was shortened by half by the elephant bear in an instant.

At this time, the distance between it and Liuyuan was about 25 meters.

So Liuyuan stood up and raised the pistol again.

"Bang! Bang bang bang!"

Five loud gunshots shook Al dizzily.

As for the elephant bear, it fell to the ground with an indomitable momentum, knocked up a piece of snow, and finally fell embarrassingly in front of Liu Yuan.

This caused a large piece of blood-stained snow to directly cover Liu Yuan's body.

"Pfft." He spat out a mouthful of snow water from his mouth.

Liu Yuan stood where he was, patted his shoulder calmly, looked at the giant bear in front of him that had been beaten to a bloody mess, put away his pistol and said.

"It's done."

To be honest, Liu Yuan has always been good at solving problems.

······
"Tap." The portable fire was lit.

Liu Yuan sat by the side and handled the elephant bear's corpse with a short knife. This huge corpse was three meters high and six meters long on the ground like a hill, and it would take a long time just to let the blood out.

"Hmph." Liu Yuan hummed her little tune again.

After cutting the elephant bear's thick and short trunk, and pulling out two tendons from its nose, Liuyuan put them into an iron box with satisfaction, and put them on the fire to roast.

"What is this?" Al looked suspiciously at the strange ingredients that Liu Yuan had prepared, and asked aloud.

"The most delicious thing on this bear." Liu Yuan replied while cutting the elephant bear's jaw.

It can be said that she set her sights on this elephant bear just because of these two things.

You know, even among the countless "foods" in the ice field, this thing can be regarded as the number one delicacy.

It's a pity that there are only two of these in the whole body of an elephant bear.

"Zizzizi."

The heat of the flame spread, and the fat on the trunk of the bear's nose quickly melted in the iron box, exuding a faint milky fragrance.

Liuyuan saw the timing, took out the can of white powder from the tool bag, and sprinkled it evenly in the iron box.

Then she put the two cut jaws into the iron box.

Well, you can cut whatever part you want to eat, roast it after cutting it, and eat it after roasting it.

Sitting by the side of the beast, you can cook by yourself, and you can lean on the soft fur and comfortable pads when you are tired. This is the luxury that only giant beasts can bring.

so good.

Liu Yuan picked up a can of boiled tea (Snow Water) and took a shallow sip.

This is much more comfortable than staying in a greenhouse.

It has to be said that Liu Yuan really prefers the open snowy field to the oppressive environment of the greenhouse.

After all, for her, this kind of place that looks like a desperate situation to ordinary people is actually no different from the snow field in front of her house.

It is no exaggeration to say that Liu Yuan is definitely at the top of the pyramid if the beasts on the ice sheet are arranged in a food chain.

Even "monsters" with a body length of more than 20 meters have been the targets of her hunting.

However, that was a long time ago.

Al opened the closed helmet, took a sip of tea, and then leaned on the elephant bear's stomach like Liuyuan.

There is no wound here, so there is no bloodstain, there is only the softness that can be clearly felt, and a little warmth that has not dissipated.

Elephant bear fur is a high-class commodity, and in the greenhouse, they are usually used by the upper class to decorate the home and make sofas and mattresses.

It can be said that, in addition to nutritional supplements, Al has experienced the enjoyment of a superior person again.

"Hmm." Holding the warm iron can in his hand, Al lay half on the elephant bear's belly, narrowed his eyes comfortably, and let out a low moan.

The fluff on the face is a little itchy.

This made her suddenly feel that this road to death is not so painful, but it is much more comfortable than she used to believe in the future.

How should I put it, this is probably the relief after giving up everything, wry smile.

I don't have any expectations for the future, so I stay in the present time.

I don't know if this should be said to be a kind of sadness or a kind of luck.

Probably because the sinews of the nose were roasted, Liu Yuan sat up, picked up one with a fork and handed it to Al.

"Try it?"

"En." Al nodded, took the fork from Liu Yuan's hand, and put the greasy nose tendon into his mouth.

"Hmm." The next moment, she let out a low cry.

The nasal tendon was not as hard as she imagined, but very soft. When chewing, it had a rather soft texture, but it was hard to chew.Every mouthful seems to be able to chew out the rich and salty gravy, coupled with the unique milk-flavored fat, Al almost ate the whole fork into his mouth.

After chewing until his mouth was sore, Al swallowed the nasal tendon, but he still licked his own mouth, and his eyes fell on the nasal tendon in Liu Yuan's mouth.

Liuyuan noticed Al's gaze, and sucked the whole nasal tendon into his mouth.

While chewing, he raised his eyebrows.

Just kidding, trying to grab food out of her mouth.

Can you still open my mouth?

Looking at the corners of Liu Yuan's greasy mouth, Al curled his lips, and then turned his attention to the jaw meat in the iron box.

Then, the two of them had another burst of feasting.

at night.

The evening wind was blowing, but the burning flames and the fur behind him made the night not so cold.

Al and Yanagihara sat on the elephant bear's stomach.

The blood released from the neck of the corpse had already flowed down the snowy slope.

Liu Yuan wasn't worried whether this would attract any wild beasts, anyway, most of the herds of beasts had already fled back to the mountains, and even if one or two of them were attracted, she could easily deal with them.

"Huh~huh~" Liu Yuan was still humming that song.

After eating and drinking, she felt much better.

Al looked up at the night sky. On a clear night, the stars shone without any cover.

"Liu Yuan." At this moment, the girl suddenly asked, "What song are you humming all the time?"

"Huh?" Liu Yuan's voice paused for a moment, and then he said lazily with his hands behind his head.

"Oh, this is a ballad from my hometown, about an old friend from far away."

"Then can you sing it to me?" Al asked again.

"Okay." Liu Yuan replied lightly, then closed his eyes, and sang slowly.

"The green grass is green and the white mist is vast. There is a beautiful woman on the side of the water. The green grass is luxuriant and the white mist is misty. There is a beautiful woman who lives by the water. I would like to go upstream and snuggle by her side... ··” (From: On the side of the water - Teresa Teng.)
Liu Yuan's voice was a little low and hoarse, but it happened to sing with a different meaning.

The singing echoed in the snow field, slow and melodious, like the deep yearning in the heart of the singing person.

Miss her hometown in the distance, and miss the people who are waiting for her in her hometown.
