Chapter 208 - Sap from a Rotten Tree (2/2)

“I’m a male, and my skin is thick, so I’m naturally fine.” Upon seeing the bright red burnt wound on Bai Qingqing’s fair finger, his heart ached so much for her that he drew a gasp and repeatedly blew upon her finger. “It’s red. Does it hurt?”

Of course it does. Bai Qingqing felt so much pain, it was like the skin on her finger was dropping off.

Bai Qingqing was surprised that there was such a great difference between a male and a female—Parker’s hands were full of the sap, yet he was perfectly fine.

“Don’t bother about me and carry on with what you’re doing.” Bai Qingqing retracted her hand, then poked her finger back into the water.

Parker gazed at Bai Qingqing’s soaked finger for a while, before continuing to rub the animal skin. “Stay farther away from me, lest the sap gets into your eyes.”

Recalling the sharp pain she felt upon touching the white sap, the lingering fear caused her to shift to the side.

The sap from a rotten tree was corrosive, so no animals would consume it. Beastmen would use the tree leaves to tan animal skin.

Parker rubbed for about half an hour, before the fat under the fresh animal skin completely dissolved. The leather was now thin and clean, and the wet fur on the back was thick, heavy and did not come off at all.

He washed the white fur, before hanging the animal skin on a tree branch for it to dry.

“Done. When the skin dries, it can be used to make clothes.” Parker let out an exhale. The tanning of this animal skin was a success, so the clothes made from it would surely be very cozy.

“Mm.” Bai Qingqing nodded her head in anticipation. A gust of wind blew at her, making her so cold that she shrunk her neck. “How are you going to handle the food? Are you going to eat it?”

“Dry it, then save it for exchanging salt,” Parker said, then crouched down to handle the second wolf.
