"Although I can't get the metal ball back to the cedar forest, I have found a way to hide it by the lake. If you are interested, I can take you there to take a look!"
So many years of secluded life in the cedar forest have greatly cultivated the sentiments of the old hunter. He has now become extremely generous and is willing to help others, even Su Nian and Chu Beichen, whom he has never met before.
Su Nian originally came here for rejuvenation, but she never expected that she would hear the old hunter talk about his experience of rejuvenation here.
Judging from what the old hunter said, rejuvenation is most likely a product of alien high technology.
As for the rejuvenation that Su Nian encountered in the northwest, since its effect was worse than that of the cedar forest, Su Nian had reason to believe that the seeds of rejuvenation also flowed out from the cedar forest.
After agreeing to Su Nian and Chu Beichen's requests, the old hunter continued to talk about his experiences back then.
"After I got these strange plants, I didn't want to linger outside any longer, so I woke up the next morning and started rushing back to the cabin. Summer is the time when there are the most prey and the beasts are the most well-fed, so I encountered some beasts along the way, but they all looked lazy and had no intention of harming me."
"It was almost dark and I was halfway there when I ran into a bear. The bear gave me a lazy look, as if it didn't take me seriously at all. I calmed down and just walked a little further away, but didn't leave."
"I found the bear standing under a big tree. There were a lot of bees flying around it. The bear's fur was very thick, so the bees couldn't get to it. The big bear kept driving away the bees with its front paws."
"I thought it was strange at the time, until I saw the bear put his other paw into the tree hole and then took it out, and it was covered with honey. Then I suddenly realized that he would rather endure the bees staying there just to steal the honey."
"I couldn't beat the black bear, so I climbed up a nearby tree and waited quietly. As it got dark, the bear had eaten its fill and ran away, licking its paws."
"It was only then that I reached the tree hole. After dark, the bees couldn't see people clearly, so they had returned to their original nest. I checked the tree hole where the bear had taken the honey, and found that the tree was dead, and it was full of honey. I guess it was stored by the bees."
"I tasted a little bit of it and it was delicious. I dipped the dry food I brought with me into the honey and ate it deliciously. All night long, I was thinking about how to bring some honey back."
"I started making barrels early the next morning. Maybe because I was motivated, I made barrels very quickly. By the evening, I had made two barrels."
"I spent another night trying to get the honey. On the third morning, I finally put the honey I had taken out of the tree hole into two wooden barrels and carried them on a shoulder pole away from the dead tree."
"There's at least half of the honey left in that dead tree. I believe the remaining honey, as long as it's not discovered by humans or animals, will be enough for the bees to survive the winter."
After this adventure, I realized that I should start stockpiling food.
At that time, I didn't know that the winter in this cedar forest was so long and cold. I just instinctively began to do everything I could to collect all the food I could and hide it.
