Chapter 14: Stripping Materials (1)

By the time Whitefur and Levi had gone away, it was already getting dark.

In the wild, night and day can be said to be two completely different worlds. Even a novice hunting ground like Xiaofeng Canyon can become very dangerous at night. Considering that Catherine was still a novice after all, Wenlong decided to return to Millard Village to rest first.

Of course, before going back, Wenlong still has one important thing to do, that is, to peel off the materials of the four big wild boars he hunted this time, and then bring them back to the village.

With these materials, you can use them as proof that you have completed the hunting mission, and secondly, you can give them to the forges in the village to help them create new equipment. If there are any surplus materials left, you can also sell them to the material merchant for a generous monetary reward.

"Hey, woman, hurry up and peel off the materials, what are you doing in a daze?" Anxious to leave Xiaofeng Canyon before the sun completely set, Wenlong urged Catherine.

"That, Mr. Cat...... I don't strip the material of my prey......"

"Meow a mi, I don't even know this, forget it, I'll come, you see, this is the basic skill of a hunter, and it is something that every hunter needs to master......"

Although he was complaining, Wen Long still took the hunter's knife from Catherine's hand, and then began to dismember the four large wild boars lying on the ground.

When dismembering the first big wild boar, Wen Long deliberately slowed down so that Catherine could clearly see her every move, and Catherine also watched Wen Long's every move very seriously, for fear of missing something.

And Wen Long also seized this time, chatting with Catherine while dismembering the prey.

"Woman, why did you become a hunter? A woman like you, her appearance is also good, when the time comes, she will find a good man to marry, and she will be able to have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of her life, why bother hunting monsters in the deep mountains and old forests, not to mention that it is very dangerous...... Meow ......"

"Because I'm going to find my brother, I'm going to have to find him! No matter how dangerous and hard it is, I'm not afraid. Catherine said firmly.

"Oh? Is your brother so important to you? Meow. Wen Long asked deliberately.

"Of course, that's my only relative in this world, we have lived together since we were children, and he is the best person in this world for me." Catherine had a happy expression on her face as she said this.

"Okay, don't be a nymphomaniac, do you want your brother to see a German orthopedic? Meow! Wenlong said.

"Huh? What is the virtue...... Orthopaedics? Catherine tilted her head, a little unclear.

"Forget it, you don't understand." Wen Long waved his hand impatiently, but the other hand was still decomposing the carcass of the big wild boar.

I saw that Wen Long first peeled off the skin of the big wild boar little by little, and then very skillfully inserted the hunter's knife from the joint of the big wild boar, and then turned the sharp blade, swimming in the gaps of the bones of the big wild boar, and soon the meat and bones began to separate, and a complete big wild boar was quickly broken into multiple parts.

Although the big boar is not a powerful monster, its body can be said to be full of treasures, among which the skin of the big boar can be used as a protective gear, the bones and fangs of the big wild boar can also be used to process weapons, and the wild boar is also an important ration that hunters love to eat in the wild.

After dismembering the first boar, Wen Long began to dismember the second big boar, this time Wen Long slowed down a little, and the whole process of action looked more like a cloud with almost no pause. As before, Catherine witnessed the entire dismemberment from beginning to end.

After dismembering two large wild boars in a row, Wen Long handed the hunter's knife in his hand to Catherine.

"Woman, follow my example, you can try it too, meow!"

"Oh...... Okay, Mr. Cat......" Catherine gritted her teeth before taking the hunter's knife from Wen Long's hand, and then stood in front of the carcass of a large wild boar.

Originally, Wen Long would have thought that Catherine's performance would be as clumsy as she had been hunting before, and then when Catherine did it, Wen Long realized that his judgment was really wrong.

When dismembering her prey, Catherine not only did not have the slightest sense of rustiness, but also behaved more skillfully than Wen Long. Especially in terms of strength, Catherine's movements became more powerful, and the whole scene of dismemberment even made Wen Long think that he was watching a butcher with five big and three rough slaughtering poor little animals. It is really 108,000 miles different from Catherine's beautiful appearance.

If Wenlong's knife swims through the gaps between the bones of the boar when he dismemberes the boar, then Catherine's is more like a butcher with a big knife, cutting off the bones of the prey.

For example, at the beginning, Catherine was very skillful in turning over the big boar that had bled too much, so that its belly was exposed, and then sat on the big boar completely regardless of the image, holding a knife in both hands, and stabbed it at the relatively soft belly of the big boar!

Next, Catherine pulled the knife down with all her might, and then the sharp blade went all the way down, cutting the belly of the boar whole.

For a while, a large number of internal organs tumbled out of the fat belly of the big wild boar, and Wen Long couldn't help but be stunned.

"That...... Woman, why are you a complete novice hunter when it comes to hunting, but so skilled at dismembering your prey? And didn't you just say that you don't know at all? Meow! Seeing Catherine's familiar movements, Wen Long finally couldn't help but ask.

"Oh, Mr. Cat, I really don't, it's just because when I used to be with my brother, my brother used to bring back prey from outside and give it to me to make dinner...... So I still know a little bit of cooking......"

"So that's the case, no wonder they cut off all the bones of the big boar together......" At this point, Wen Long suddenly jumped up, and then patted Catherine's head.

"Ah, Mr. Cat, it hurts to say that." Catherine covered her head with one hand, and her face showed an aggrieved look.

"You stupid woman, the bones of the big wild boar are also good materials, you can sell them for money, who told you to chop them all up! Meow! ”

"Ah, I'm sorry, Mr. Cat, because ...... I want to make braised pork ribs......" Catherine defended weakly.

"Eat! Eat! Eat! Please, now isn't the time to think about eating, meow! Wen Long almost jumped up in anger, "Stripping the material is not simply dismembering the prey, but to separate the material from the prey as perfectly as possible without damaging the material!" Got it? Meow! ”

Although it was getting late at night, Wen Long's stomach also felt hungry, but Wen Long understood that the most important thing now was not to eat, but to let Catherine understand what it meant to strip away the ingredients!

The so-called stripping of materials is a method of separating the useful parts of the monster, and when separating these materials, it is necessary to maintain the integrity of the materials as much as possible, which means that the higher the integrity, the higher the value of the materials. For example, the skeleton of a large wild boar is a relatively common low-level material, although the price is not high, but because of the relatively easy means to obtain, it is often used by some novice hunters in exchange for money.

But once these bones are scarred, then the value will plummet, or even become worthless, after all, the equipment made of flawed materials will definitely be flawed. Not to mention that the whole bone was cut off like Catherine, and the result was naturally only one used to make braised pork ribs.
