Chapter 209 - Collaboration (1/2)

Many hands made light work. At a time like this, the disadvantage of Bai Qingqing having few mates became evident—two males weren’t quite enough to handle the workload.

After Parker finished handling the second wolf, Winston came back with a fiery-red fox. Its fur looked to be of superior quality—even Bai Qingqing who didn’t have an eye for such stuff could tell that it was excellent.

Winston sent down the prey by Parker’s side and was prepared to leave, when Parker said grumpily, “It’s my turn to go hunting.”

Winston had no choice but to transform into a human. He said matter-of-factly, “I’m faster than you.”

Not only was he faster, but the prey Winston captured were also of top-notch quality.

Right now everyone was out snatching prey. If they were any later, the prey with good fur would have been snatched up by others. If they wanted their females to wear animal skin of good quality, they had to hurry. Parker didn’t need to raise a female in the past. As such, it was sufficient for him to just have food to exchange for salt, and he was pretty casual about the sort of animal skins he wore. But now that he had Bai Qingqing, he naturally wanted to get the best animal skins.

Parker fell silent. Winston then transformed into his beast form and ran out.

“What can I help you with?” Bai Qingqing walked behind Parker and asked, sensing the tense atmosphere.

Parker said, “There’s nothing that you can do. If you feel bored, help me smoke meat.”

“Eh? Smoke meat?” Bai Qingqing asked curiously.

Did he mean smoking meat to preserve it? She was surprised to learn that there was smoked meat in this world. There was finally something that existed in both her world and this one.

“After the meat is smoked, it can be stored during the cold season and won’t form maggots.” As Parker spoke, he used a bone blade to pierce open the fox’s stomach. With a tearing sound, the bloody skin of the fox was peeled out.

Bai Qingqing looked away, not daring to look. Gazing as the blood slowly spread out in the water, she said, “Okay, help me start a fire.”
