The dismembered carcass of the Saw-toothed Tiger was left by Chen Zhou beside the brook.
The strong stench of blood and the odor of organs attracted many flies and insects, which soon swarmed over the entire piece of flesh.
The scent of the predator's death intimidated medium-sized predators; only carrion birds dared to hover above the corpse, coveting the fresh meat.
...
The Saw-toothed Tiger killed by Chen Zhou hadn't accumulated much fat, and there was almost no grease on the ribs. Even when smeared with a blood-oil mixture, it didn't produce much aroma and was barely edible.
The three little Serrated Tiger Cubs initially sniffed the scent of fresh meat and even poked their heads out from the shelter, attempting to beg for food. But when Chen Zhou offered them the cooked meat of their kind, they recoiled as though electrocuted, preferring to go hungry rather than eat.
