The indigenous chief felt my method was feasible.

Since we were in a hurry to leave, the chief mobilized everyone to help me dispose of the cave bear carcasses.

There are already more than twenty of us men, not counting the children, and if you include the women and some elderly people, there are probably more than fifty of us.

We worked together to process the meat, and since it was all large, easy-to-cut pieces, we were able to process it quite quickly.

We processed the four cave bear carcasses simultaneously, finishing in less than ten minutes. Then, we used the rope from my basket to tie the meat together and hung it all on the big tree growing in the crack in the rock.

From a distance in the quiet night, the tree looked as if it were covered in flesh, which seemed rather eerie.

After we finished all that, all that was left were the remains and internal organs, which we all left behind.

This place must have already attracted a large number of hungry predators. If we don't leave some treats for these beasts, they might continue to follow us.

The natives understand the intricacies of human relationships in the jungle better than I do. To put it bluntly, everyone has a share; if you want to live peacefully here, you have to cultivate relationships in all aspects.

We then passed through this section of the journey quickly and without incident. After walking for nearly half an hour, we finally arrived at the giant rocky mountain that the high priest had mentioned.

After a long journey and a battle with four giant cave bears weighing seven or eight hundred kilograms in that narrow valley, everyone felt exhausted and hungry.

However, we are still in the open environment. Although the open terrain is more conducive to our defense and attack, we still cannot let our guard down.

After spending some more time sealing the large gaps between the megaliths with rocks, we settled all our people into the megalithic structure and finally breathed a sigh of relief.

We didn't bring much food, but everyone was hungry. The tribal chief decided to have everyone bring out half of their food, and then they built a large fire in front of the boulder to roast some food to fill their stomachs.

After we had eaten and drunk our fill, sleepiness washed over us. I huddled with these dozens of locals in the narrow crevice between the boulders and fell into a deep sleep.

Perhaps because it was too late yesterday, I felt like I hadn't slept for very long when sunlight shone through the cracks in those boulders.

The sunlight felt warm on my face, and a little dazzling.

I rubbed my sleepy eyes. To be honest, I slept terribly last night.

I was too tired to pay attention to those things at the time, and when I woke up, I found that I had actually slept on some piles of rocks of different sizes all night.

Because there were too many people, I couldn't even stretch my legs out. I could only sleep half-curled up, half-sitting against the uneven rock wall.

Now I feel my whole body cracking and creaking; there's not a single part of me that isn't sore.

I could only crawl out of this pile of boulders and prepare to stretch my tendons outside. There's a simple and effective way to revitalize my numb and aching limbs.

I first stand with both legs, stretching one leg straight down to the knee and letting it hang naturally, with the instep of the foot as close to the fibula as possible at the ankle, stretching the tendons of that leg to their maximum.

Then suddenly lift your leg upwards with force, trying to bring your thigh as close to your head as possible.

Instantly, a tingling, numb sensation, like an electric shock, traveled from the tips of my toes to every tendon and nerve in my thigh.

Once this process is over, you will feel your legs are noticeably lighter and more comfortable. The principle is similar to massaging and stretching tendons and acupoints.

The other leg was also lifted quickly several times using the same method. Usually, it only takes about three lifts before the leg stops feeling sore and numb.

At this point, the leg meridians and tendons have been stretched and opened, and the conductivity of nerve endings has been adjusted to its optimal state.

I practice this method whenever I have free time, and it greatly relieves the discomfort caused by varicose veins, especially for someone like me who works long hours standing.

Arm movements are similar to leg movements; you need to straighten your arms first, and then bring the back of your hand as close to your arm as possible.

Lifting up and down here is useless. What you need to do is very simple: just straighten your arms and rotate your wrists 180 degrees at the same time to stretch the tendons between your arms and hands.

It still felt sore and numb, just like in my legs. After doing a few sets, my arms stopped feeling sore and numb, and I felt light and comfortable.

These methods aren't things I learned from anywhere; they're just experiences I've summarized after working long hours and figuring out the most comfortable ways to stretch my body.

After completing a full set of my self-created stretching and muscle-relaxing exercises, the uncomfortable feeling finally subsided.

At this moment, the people in the tribe also emerged from under the narrow boulder structure. Judging from their grimaces, rubbing their waists and twisting their hips, they must have slept just as soundly as I did yesterday.

The indigenous chief also stretched his stiff body, saying, "Today we still want to see if we can retrieve the meat from those cave bears."

However, we now face a problem: accommodation. We don't know if the red tiger ants have left yet. If they haven't, we may need to find a temporary place to stay for a while.

In order to make better use of time, the tribal chief ordered the young tribal man who had attacked Top to take two men back to the tribe to check the situation and then return to report.

The tribespeople stayed here to gather firewood and other supplies. We, on the other hand, sent a large group out to retrieve the meat from the four bears we had hunted yesterday.

The dried bear meat could sustain the tribe's food supply for a period of time, regardless of the news that came back.

We can use it as food to find a new temporary place to set up camp, or it will be easier to bring them back to our original tribe.

I admire this indigenous chieftain who is clear-headed and meticulous in his work.

It is a blessing for the entire tribe to have such a leader.

After arranging some specific matters, Luo, who was injured this time, was left in the tribe to continue protecting the safety of the tribesmen.

We reassigned another twenty people from the original hunting team to make a round trip to the place where we hung the bear meat yesterday.

Half an hour later, we returned to the tree, and to our surprise, some of the bear meat hanging on the tree had still been stolen.

It looks like it was done by some kind of small carnivorous animal, like one that's light enough to climb trees.

Fortunately, we had enough meat, so only a small portion was lost, and most of the meat was still hanging on the branches with ropes.

We removed all the meat, tied it up with rope, and headed straight back the way we came.

As I passed the three bear carcasses, I noticed that apart from the skull, which I couldn't eat, all the other bones had been cleaned up, and even the bloodstains on the ground had been licked clean.
