Chapter 1571: The Smell of Blood

There were also footprints in the bloodstains—some from wolves, foxes, and another leopard.

Ma Lin dug some soil, sprinkled it over the bloodstains, and stomped on it. Then he used pottery shards to scrape up the soil below, placed it in a basin, and threw it downstream of the creek.

He then dragged the skinned black panther downstream, cut it open, cleaned it thoroughly, and dragged it back.

He cut up some of its meat and put it in a pot to boil.

The remainder was made into smoked meat.

He led the goat out, tied it to a tree, and let it graze.

He set up a net around it to prevent wild beasts from easily getting in.

If a beast did get in, it would have a hard time getting out.

Whether using a bow or a spear, Ma Lin found it easy to kill it.

He felt the scent of blood slightly endangered his situation today.

So he decided not to go far to gather wild vegetables.

He spent a long time making the entire leopard into smoked meat.

Then he began stacking stone walls.
