Chapter 3 (2/2)

Someone had prepared a large jar long in advance to collect the special blood essence from within the beast’s body. This was a refined blood medicine, extremely rare and precious.

Among this pile of beast corpses, the most precious one was the Pi Xiu 1. Although it was just a descendant and was quite far from a pure-blooded Pi Xiu King, it still possessed a portion of the true blood that had astonishing value.

It has already been two years since they last caught a mythical beast type like the Pi Xiu, as they were excessively savage and large. As single swipe from their claws would easily take the life of a strong individual, making them simply too horrifying to handle.

One could say that the harvest this time was so luxurious it made them speechless.

“Wu, the true blood flowing from the Two-Headed Flame Rhinoceros’s horn really is quite extraordinary. It’s not inferior to the Pi Xiu at all!” An older grandpa personally used his knife to remove the rhinoceros horn from the flesh. It was as tough as metal and stone, and from that area dripped out a gush of scarlet-red true blood, making the carcass look like it was releasing fiery light.

Suddenly, the blood unexpectedly changed into a clump of red radiance, and a palm-length Two-Headed Flame Rhinoceros appeared before everyone’s eyes. Its entire body was scarlet red, and it was vivid and lifelike as it let out an angry roar.

“Good stuff. This true blood’s medicinal qualities are extremely strong, and are not inferior to those of mythical beasts!” The old grandpa who held the knife laughed heartily, and quickly utilized that jar to collect that rhinoceros blood before firmly closing the jar cover.

“Chief, this Dragon Horned Elephant’s horn is also good stuff. When we found it, it was already close to dying. Otherwise we wouldn’t have been able to handle it.” A youth spoke.

Shi Yunfeng nodded and said, “It really is quite a rare sight. The dragon horn growing on its head has already matured. Once it is carefully extracted, it can be used as a precious medicine that can repair bones.”

“The one-legged demon beast’s leg has really tough and durable strips of muscles. Even axes cannot chop through it.”

“This is all good stuff. You stinky youngsters need to be careful, don’t let the precious blood from the Flying Python’s two wings go to waste!”

The villagers were all happy, and their faces were full of smiles.

Only the children withdrew their necks before quickly disappearing. They knew that the majority of these blood and bone medicines would be used on their bodies, causing them to once again need to ‘suffer’.

Only after an entire half day passed did the precious treasure growing from the fierce beasts’ bodies get plucked clean. The Chief as well as several other elders nodded their heads in satisfaction before collecting the jars and storing them.

“There is so much prey. In a little while, we should preserve a portion, and afterwards smoke them and make it into meat jerky.” Some of the experienced elders were saying.

With the fierce beasts piled up like a small mountain, the villagers could not finish it even after many days. If they simply allowed it to rot, then it would be too much of a waste. For the villages that have faced food shortages, there was no way they would permit that.

The women from each of the households came up to divide the meat. All of them had sincere smiles on their faces, since previously they felt anxious with all the men outside. Now that they all returned peacefully and with such a luxurious harvest, it was truly one of heaven’s best gifts.

Smoke rose in spirals from the households’ chimneys, and after half an hour, the fragrant smell of meat began to spread. The households’ iron pots had almost finished stewing the meat chunks until they were soft, and the children couldn’t wait any longer. In addition, the beast meat roasting atop the bonfires were also beginning to develop a golden and oily luster, and as the oil dripped onto the fire, sputtering noises were created. Those sturdy men all could not hold themselves back any longer, and began to tear off strips of meat. With big appetites, they bit into the meat, releasing a mouthful of juices.

“Small child, this is Pi Xiu meat. Eating a lot of it will give you big strength. It’s truly a rare type of meat.”

“Stinky youngster, eat more, this is meat from the Two-Headed Flame Rhinoceros. Eating more of it can help your skin and bone become tough like iron, so stop eating that useless Tree Pig meat.”

All types of different fierce beasts made up the villagers rich evening meal. The enticing meat fragrance wafted through the streets, drawing in the appetites of the residents as waves of merry laughter rang throughout the festive village.
