Chapter Seventy-Three: Meng Lihu
López rested overnight in the town of Sivir, and the next day went to Edwina's for breakfast before setting off into Kutler Mountain.
According to his meager cognition, today's harvest will definitely be very good, and the physical exertion of a night's hard work will definitely be extremely huge, so it is inevitable to come out to hunt today.
However, it remains to be confirmed who exactly is the hunter.
The first thing López did when he reached Mount Cote was to climb halfway up the mountain to see how the trap had been harvested.
However, in the process of climbing the mountain, he saw a lot of bloodstains, of course, this was not because of his careful observation, but a lot of bloodstains, which were very conspicuous.
But that didn't get much of López's attention, after all, what most often happened in Kutler was between predator and prey.
It is worth mentioning that, judging by the bloodstains, the scale of this confrontation is not small, and it is likely to be a turf struggle between populations.
Of course, López can't say for sure, he didn't see yesterday's scene with his own eyes.
After walking like this for a while, López got closer and closer to the place where he had set the trap, but the smell of blood grew stronger.
This made him quickly speed up the movement of his feet.
Finally, López reached his destination, he slowly lifted the obscured branches, and the view in front of him surprised him slightly, this time the harvest was really a lot, much more than he expected.
The trees around were all stained red with blood, and there were dead animals everywhere, few of them intact, and it looked as if they had all been gnawed.
Although a little surprised, López stepped forward and took a closer look.
It's not all the carcasses of the dogs, there are also jackals and cheetahs, and even the Mengli tiger, which stands at the top of the Kutler food chain, has not been spared.
This made López more and more curious about what happened last night, but he didn't want to find out, he wasn't that idle, and the task was not done yet.
Thinking about it, López reached out and put on his gloves, and then began to dispose of the corpses.
Among them, the corpses of the ghost dogs are the largest, about a dozen, but to López's disappointment, there are only eight male ghost dogs.
Although this is indeed a bit little, but it is useless to fight, and he doesn't complain so much about the things that come for nothing, and after cutting off all the dog whips, his gaze slowly turned to Meng Lihu.
That thing was full of gold coins, and he had coveted it for a long time, but because he couldn't beat it, he could only look forward to it.
Now it's in front of you, there's no reason not to.
After making a decision, López decisively drew his long sword and quickly stabbed into Meng Lihu's body, he wanted to rip off the tiger skin whole, but it was a little laborious.
Tiger skins are the top material for armor and clothing, thick and soft, even though López hasn't actually seen armor made from tiger skins.
But if nothing else, it's true that it's worth the money.
Underneath the tiger's skin is tiger meat, which López wasn't very interested in.
Then there is the tiger bone, which is one of the precious and rare animal medicinal materials, and it is said that it has a very, very many effects.
But López doesn't believe it, he thinks it's just the hype of those black-hearted businessmen, but because of this, the price is very high.
Of course, tiger bones are the most widely used, or are carved into various craft jewelry, the favorite of the rich.
The last thing left is the tiger whip.
Well, that's of little practical use, at least so far, no one has found out, well, except for some collectors with special fetishes.
But it didn't matter, he had learned a lot this time.
Dismembering that Meng Lihu was a bit time-consuming, and it was already afternoon when it was done.
But it was done, which made López stretch and turn his already stiff neck.
The harvest filled both of his bags, which forced him to go to Yerkes as soon as possible to sell, or there would be nowhere to carry his belongings.
But he was not in a hurry at this time, and the dedicated reminder of López's hungry stomach made him throw the two bags aside, and then sat down against the tree behind him, and enjoyed it for a while, before he took out the food that Edvina had prepared for him and ate it in a big gulp.
López had set up about ten traps, but this time he only checked one, and the rest will be discussed when he returns from the town of Yerkes.
After filling his stomach, López stood up directly, grabbed the bag and set off.
After leaving Kutler Hill, it will take a little time to walk to the town of Yerkes, and it will take a little time to sell these things for a good price, after all, those vendors are very shrewd.
He first came to a armor shop that looked like it was not quite large.
"Hello, guest, do you need anything?" the boss asked, looking up at López.
"Looks like you're doing a good business, but our hunters haven't been doing well lately. López didn't answer the boss's question, but instead accosted him with a backhand.
He'd have to disguise himself as an experienced hunter, and while that's true, he hasn't hunted for almost a year, so he doesn't know the latest market as well.
"Laughing at it, young hunter, your business is not good, how can my business be good, summer is the estrus season for most of the beasts in Kutler Mountain, and business is off-season. After speaking, the owner of the armor shop shrugged his shoulders and seemed to be quite helpless.
"I just complained casually, but I learned something today. With that, López grinned.
"Oh, the customer is here to sell materials, but I'm going to be ugly, I don't accept low-grade materials. Glancing down at López, the boss's face was full of pride.
But López didn't care, and continued: "I think you'll be satisfied. ”
After saying that, he opened the bag and took out the tiger skin and threw it on the table in front of the boss.
After seeing the tiger skin, the boss's face was full of disbelief, because judging by López's age, he really didn't look like a high-class hunter.
But there is no reason not to do business, he turned around and took out a magnifying glass, and began to observe this tiger skin over and over again, as long as there is a slight flaw, he can use it as a gimmick to smash a good price.
But unfortunately, this piece of skin is a whole piece of tiger's back skin, quite complete, and the fur is unusually soft and shiny, and he really can't find the slightest fault.
"What a skill, young man, Meng Lihu is not something that anyone can hunt. After reading the boss of the tiger skin, he raised his head and praised López.
"It's just good luck, gossip aside, how much can you give out of this tiger skin. As he spoke, Lopez raised his finger and kept tapping on the cabinet, putting on a rather old-fashioned look.
"Hey, hey, guest, what do you think of these five hundred gold coins. As he spoke, the boss rubbed his hands and looked treacherous.
López gave him a disdainful look, then picked up the tiger skin and turned away.
"Don't go, young man, this matter is still negotiable. Seeing López turn around, the boss quickly stopped him.
