After spraying dicine, Xu Yi’s palm stopped hurting.
Nonetheless, there was still a lingering fear in his heart.
If he hadn’t thrown away the machete, would he have been drained of blood?
Xu Yi was a bit conflicted about whether to pick up the machete again.
What if it continued to suck his blood after picking it up?
After so thought, Xu Yi walked over and picked up the machete.
His wound imdiately throbbed with pain.
However, Xu Yi didn’t cry out; he just gritted his teeth and endured it.
He wanted to know just how much blood this knife would absorb.
After about two minutes, Xu Yi’s hand felt no pain.
Xu Yi set the machete aside and then unwrapped the bandage on his hand.
"Amazing, the wound has healed already. This knife is quite peculiar."
"I’m increasingly convinced this is a biotechnological combat knife. It can be very sharp, but you must provide it with your blood."
"Sounds like sothing straight out of an alien movie. In the end, Xu Yi becos its nourishnt."
"It can’t be that terrifying, right? It should only absorb a small amount of blood. Its sharpness cos at a slight cost."
"Looks like Xu Yi plans to keep using the machete. He’s really bold, huh."
"It’s not boldness, it’s audacity. If it were , I certainly wouldn’t use it. The machete isn’t indispensable, right? There’s the Engineer Shovel and Hunting Bow; they can already et their needs."
"Once you get used to driving luxury cars, how can you go back to driving a tractor?"
"Despite the risk, what if it’s not deadly? I think it can still be used."
Xu Yi looked at his palm again, and then picked up the machete once more.
This knife was so sharp that he couldn’t bear to part with it.
If it required his blood in exchange for its sharpness, Xu Yi thought it was an acceptable trade. The premise was that the amount wouldn’t threaten his life.
He’s been using this knife for over 20 days, and it’s only absorbed his blood this one ti; Xu Yi felt it was acceptable.
The amount just now probably didn’t exceed 200CC.
After all, the palm has many capillaries; no matter how the machete absorbs, the quantity is quite small.
With no conditions to research now, once the challenge is over, Xu Yi would certainly study his knife carefully to determine whether it is made of tal or sothing biological.
Picking up the bone that had been cut, Xu Yi resud cutting.
It was still the sa, and hadn’t beco sharper.
Soon, Xu Yi carved the arrowhead into a diamond shape.
"Xu Yi, are you still going to use it?" Seeing Xu Yi still using it, Lu Ke walked over and asked worriedly.
"Yeah, just a bit of blood for its sharpness seems like a fair trade to ." Xu Yi smiled at Lu Ke and added, "If you’re worried, you don’t have to use that dagger."
Lu Ke shook her head; if Xu Yi dared to use it, why shouldn’t she?
"I think the dagger works really well. If it wants to absorb my blood, I don’t mind. After all, having it makes things much easier for us."
Xu Yi nodded; without this machete, during the wolf pack attack, he might have lost his leg.
Without it, cutting trees wouldn’t be as easy.
To reap benefits, so cost must be paid, and Xu Yi had no problem with that logic.
Moreover, after absorbing blood, the wound would heal.
Maybe, in the future, if he got hurt, he could use the machete for healing!
"Is the oil done?" Xu Yi glanced at the ti; it was already past nine o’clock.
"This is the last batch, then it’s done." Lu Ke squatted down, grabbed so plant ash, and sared it onto her dagger to clean off grease.
"The lamps need more oil; go fill them. After the oil’s done, hang up the smoked at and get to bed early. We’re going hunting again tomorrow and can chop so bamboo while we’re out." Saying this, Xu Yi resud carving arrowheads.
Today they only scored 8 points; 100 points seed quite far away.
Though he didn’t say it, Xu Yi hoped that he and Lu Ke would be the first to earn 100 points.
"Okay, I’ll go now." With that, Lu Ke got out the lamps, blew them out, and set them on the table.
The oil in the lamps was nearly used up, so Lu Ke refilled them.
Once relit, Lu Ke returned the lamps back to their place.
She noticed that after adding Wolf Oil, the lamp’s brightness increased.
Returning by the stove, Lu Ke poured the pot oil into a clay basin.
This was the last clay basin, so she needed to make a new batch of containers.
By tomorrow evening, the first clay jar should be ready for firing.
Placing all the Wolf Oil on the table, Lu Ke took the Engineer Shovel for cleaning.
A big platter of Bone Wolf at slices was left uneaten, so she planned to grill them for a late-night snack.
Brushing so Wolf Oil onto the Engineer Shovel, she laid the at slices on top.
After a while grilling, the slices changed color and curled a bit. Soon, the aroma filled the air.
Lu Ke tasted a slice first, feeling it was as tender as at treated with at tenderizer, very juicy.
In terms of flavor, it was unique, very delicious.
Hence, Lu Ke didn’t intentionally call Xu Yi to eat.
"Is it good?" Xu Yi asked curiously, seeing Lu Ke continuously putting grilled at into her mouth.
"Uh-huh, it’s delicious, super delicious. You should have so." Lu Ke blushed, as she wasn’t hungry but captivated by the flavor and couldn’t resist.
"Seems really good." Xu Yi smiled and didn’t rush over imdiately.
After carving the arrowhead, Xu Yi set down the machete and walked over to Lu Ke.
"Try it. It’s really tasty." Lu Ke handed Xu Yi a slice.
Directly taking it, Xu Yi chewed a couple of tis and couldn’t help giving a thumbs up.
"Very tasty, just marinated in a bit of salt water. Who knew it’d taste this good? With other seasonings, it’d be even better. This is the best tasting grilled at I’ve had so far." Xu Yi then actively picked up chopsticks and took another slice.
Originally, Xu Yi didn’t feel hungry, but the flavor stirred his appetite, making him feel intensely hungry.
"Not worse than that armored beast. Its texture was like fish." Lu Ke evaluated as she continued eating.
When grilling, she hadn’t anticipated feeling this way.
Thinking she’d gained weight, she aid to control her appetite, just sample and let Xu Yi eat it. But she hadn’t expected she couldn’t resist.
Soon, the pair devoured a whole large platter of grilled at.
With full stomachs, instead of sleeping, they took out unfinished flax stalks to start peeling fibers.
