Chapter 88 - Chapter 88: Chapter 83 Killing Pigs to Make Armor i (2/2)

Watching it, a mere calf, he hadn’t expected such nimble movement and forceful counterattacks.

It continuously used its short horns to attack the wild boar’s body.

But because of its lack of strength and horns not yet fully developed, the damage it inflicted on the wild boar was almost negligible.

Adult wild boars usually have tough skin and thick flesh, and even fierce wolves sometimes can’t break through their defenses.

Qin Niu, seeing Xiao Niu fighting the boar with great enjoyment, didn’t hurry to lend a hand.

Instead, he slowly sneaked behind the boar.

Without worrying about any martial virtues, he spotted a young boar that weighed about forty to fifty pounds, charged at it with a sneaky attack, and ended it with a single strike.

Hearing the dying scream of the young boar, the big boar let out an angry cry.

Its eyes turned red as it charged at Qin Niu.

“Heh, 1 was just hoping you would come.”

Qin Niu, now much stronger, wasn’t afraid of it at all.

As it got close, it thrashed its long snout viciously upwards, trying to pierce Qin Niu’s body with its sharp, long tusks, and then fling him into the air.

A sword swung down.

And produced a Critical Chop effect.

About two thirds of the pig’s head was chopped off, hanging by a flap of skin around its neck.

Blood spurted out vigorously.

He found that the Treasured Sword became excited after being soaked in pig’s blood.

What kind of sword was this, anyway?

Why did it feel like it was becoming more and more evil?

It seemed to thirst for blood all day long.

The big boar didn’t fall dead immediately but charged another ten meters before hitting a tree and collapsing with a thud.

The other small boars scattered like birds and beasts, vanishing in the blink of an eye.

Qin Niu immediately squatted down to collect some pig’s blood in a small jar.

After successfully evolving Termite with bear blood to gain tremendous strength, he wanted to test the effectiveness of pig’s blood.

The big boar was not dead yet and continued to struggle.

But it was no longer able to make any noise.

Qin Niu held it down, drank some of the pig’s blood, and found the taste a bit salty.

His cultivation seemed to have grown slightly.

But it was much less effective than when he drank bear’s blood.

It seemed his guess was correct: after reaching a certain degree, the effectiveness of consuming blood for enhancement would diminish.

The two boar carcasses, one big and one small, should keep him well-fed for many meals.

After the big boar was completely dead, he dragged the two carcasses down the mountain.

Pigskin didn’t seem to be worth much.

The pigskin of this big boar could be considered for making armor.

Only, he didn’t have the skill for it.

He planned to drag it back, skin the pig, and remove the hide.

The flesh of the young wild boar was tender and could be eaten together.

Having caught two wild boars and a special large hornet close to becoming a Queen Bee, he became even fonder of these mountains.

As long as one was capable, the mountains were an inexhaustible treasure trove.

They contained countless natural treasures.

Now he no longer needed to sneak his game home.

He could just drag it back in the open.

If Wang Haikun dared to come and rob him, he wouldn’t mind teaching him how to behave humbly like a village tyrant again.

After acquiring the Grade Three Termites, his status as Insect Master was secure.

Qin Niu no longer had to fear the brother behind Wang Haikun.

Arriving at the Ant Nest, he deliberately fed the pig’s blood to them.

What kind of changes it would bring was still unknown; he had to wait patiently for a while.

He simply fed them some of the hornet’s carcass as well.

Only then did Qin Niu drag the wild boars down the mountain.

Upon returning to the village, he inevitably drew a flock of gossiping women. Many villagers curiously eyed the two wild boars he had brought, envy clear in their eyes.

After Qin Niu dragged the wild boars home openly, he boiled water to scald them, peeled the fur, eviscerated the small boar, cut it in half, and took one half to the neighboring Wang Furen’s house.

He knocked on the door.

Mrs. Wu answered the door.

“This is for your young lady to nourish her health,” Qin Niu said, handing over half of the pork to Mrs. Wu before leaving.

The yield of meat from slaughtering a pig was usually around seventy percent.

This young wild boar’s meat should be very tasty.

Being omnivorous, it ate anything, like snakes, bugs, beasts, tree roots, fruits; therefore, its meat held much higher nutritional value than domestic pigs.

Wang Furen stood inside the main hall watching, not showing himself.

His expression suggested he wanted to refuse, but to not eat meat that comes to one’s mouth would be foolish, wouldn’t it?

Hence, he appeared quite conflicted.

Eventually, Qin Niu turned and left, and Wang Furen said nothing, nor did he show his face.

“Master, aren’t you afraid that the young lady will become even fonder of Ah Niu if we accept the pork?” the purchased maid softly reminded.

Without being accepted as a concubine by Wang Furen, she would always be just a servant of the Wang Family, such was the rule.

Even though she was practically Wang Wanyan’s stepmother, she had to address her as “young lady.”

“Humph, he thinks he can aim for my daughter with just half a pig? That kid thinks too much! She’ll soon be 15, and once Wan Yan meets Young Master Lu, she’ll surely look down on Ah Niu from this poor backwater. Water flows down, and people aim high; I trust my daughter has that wisdom,” Wang Furen snorted.

How could Wang Furen let go of the half side of pork that was delivered to his door!

After letting Mrs. Wu accept it and turn it into a delicious meal for their enjoyment, that was a given.

After delivering the pork, Qin Niu returned home and began carefully peeling the hide from the big wild boar.

Just right; tomorrow he planned to go to the city and ask a master to make it into armor, which could provide some defense.

The hide of the wild boar was much tougher than ordinary pigskin.

It was even stronger than cowhide.

After preparing the two pigs, curing them, and cooking a meal, he savored it deliciously.

With his belly full, he took out an ordinary large hornet.

He decided to try cultivating it..
