"Boss, we only found seventy-two heads, two of them are missing." Little Tiger reported the statistics to Ye Zhongming, looking somewhat unsatisfied.
This was actually normal; the wild boars had gone out foraging, and it was impossible for Ye Zhongming and the others to determine their exact locations. Being able to kill the vast majority was already a good result.
Ye Zhongming glanced at Little Tiger's leg and said, "If it's inconvenient, just take a rest. Even if you used the sweet dew technique, you're still not fully healed."
The mental power necklace had already been given to Park Soo-young. After luxuriously absorbing some Grade 1 Magic Crystals, the apostle of light's mental power had recovered a bit, and she used a sweet dew technique on both Little Tiger and Liang Chuyin. Although their wounds hadn’t completely healed, they were no longer seriously affecting their movements.
Little Tiger was tough; the remaining bit of pain didn’t bother him at all.
With the battle over, the next step was to clean the battlefield. Besides the magic crystals, these wild boars had plenty of treasures on them.
For instance, the tusks that every wild boar possessed were definitely the materials Ye Zhongming wanted the most. These could be enchanted and attached to bullets, transforming them into powerful armor-piercing rounds. Furthermore, Grade 2 tusks had tremendous armor-piercing capabilities.
Some wild boars exhibited peculiar characteristics, such as very hard and sharp bristles on their necks. It was estimated that with further evolution, they would exhibit new talent skills. The sharp attributes they possessed were no less valuable than the tusks.
And the most abundant resource was the boar meat.
Although the meat of these mutated wild boars wasn't as effective as that of monsters of the same level, it was still an excellent supplement. Regular consumption could enhance physical health, and as everyone consumed this pork, they would likely experience a small leap in their physical condition.
Except for Park Soo-young, who was recovering her mental power, the others, including Le Da Yuan and his five assistants, even Xia Lei, were busy processing the wild boar corpses in a building near the battlefield. They cut the meat into chunks, used the salt they found to cure it, and then dried it to make jerky for preservation, so they could take it out to eat anytime later.
With over seventy wild boars averaging more than 600 pounds each, after removing the unwanted parts and bones, they could at least produce over two thousand pounds of jerky, even approaching three thousand pounds!
This was a very time-consuming task, also quite exhausting and dirty, but everyone was in high spirits.
Harvests always brought joy.
Of course, the biggest gain this time was the more than forty Grade 2 Magic Crystals. Ye Zhongming had worked so hard, risking the possibility of his newly formed team being wiped out, just for these.
Now, all he needed to do was find a Grade 2 roulette and take a gamble.
The first batch of dried pork was ready to eat, and Ye Zhongming didn’t impose any restrictions. Anyone who wanted to eat could take as much as they wanted.
Moy Ye, Liang Chuyin, Little Tiger, and the others who had been following Ye Zhongming didn’t feel anything unusual. With Ye Zhongming around, they had never really experienced hunger, but Le Da Yuan and the six others were quite moved.
In the family building of the precision instrument factory, even the domineering Guan Changchun and his group couldn't enjoy such a feast. This was the meat of mutated wild boars, which could enhance physical health, and there were no limits to the amount. There was even wine brought by the team leader nearby. Compared to sleeping on the cold concrete floor and struggling against hunger, this was paradise.
Ye Zhongming casually took a piece of meat, drank some water, and then stepped into a room on the side. Inside, the earth yellow pill was dealing with the corpse of the highest-level Grade 2 mutated wild boar.
