"Do you think we could use Leone’s alchemical skills to nurture our own animals and breed them into a top of the line thing of beauty that yields an absurd amount of at? Would that be humane and most importantly, possible?"
Now that I had practically fully disassembled the bull monster that she had killed, Jahi’s mind was completely enraptured by the ribs that she had seen remove from the entire carcass, which had her lost in thought about all things food.
"I don’t think we’ll encounter many who care about whether the selective breeding is humane. Where they would have issue is with the treatnt of the animals and the life they live up to the point of being slaughtered for their at... though again, whether anyone really cares or will care enough to levy any accusations against us is another thing entirely."
The Demoness nodded thoughtfully before saying "And I would promptly ignore them because everyone knows stressed animals produce subpar at. I don’t want subpar at, I want high quality, juicy, tender at that dissolves in my mouth. So again... is it possible?"
I chuckled wryly and shrugged my shoulders as I replied "That would be sothing to ask Leone herself because the potions needed would have to be fine tuned to every single animal. Monitoring them closely and checking for any negative signs before studying the offspring even closer to make sure we aren’t making a monster... What you want her to do is extrely complicated."
"But very much worth it... so I will definitely ask her upon our return, because coming out here and finding maybe two or three of these bull monsters is disappointing..."
That made shake my head as I took in just how much at was acquired from the two monsters she had killed so far, and even with such ravenous wives I still believed I had enough here to last us a week.
"One day of hunting equaling a weeks worth of at is definitely not disappointing, especially to a majority of the world."
"Well, we aren’t amongst the majority of the world now are we Kat? So I want multiple racks of ribs hanging in our frosted pantry, not just three or four. Also, this is a very good way to make money since we can turn these pelts into so many different things, and if Leone figures out a way to use the organs for her alchemy..."
There was no argunt to be made there because she was right, so I just finished up and cleansed myself of the blood before guiding us once more, sending us across the plains for another hour before we finally ca across what we were looking for.
After having roughly mapped out exactly where we had gone, I now had a far more exact positioning on our own map, and on top of that I was more confident in the ti it would take to get here since I had been keeping track of that too.
It was a good bit away from our new ho, but if we rushed here and back it would be a single day of traveling, aning we would need to be here long enough to warrant being away from everyone for more than just a day.
What I was looking at was definitely sothing that would warrant a multi day excursion away from ho, and Jahi was definitely agreeing with considering how hard she was grinning; the plains slowly rolled upwards into a gentle slope before plunging back down into the earth to form a gigantic bowl.
Well over a mile across, the bowl was it’s own ecosystem in the ground, with a river flowing into a lake surrounded by dozens of fruit bearing trees; it was a paradise, if you were able to ignore the gigantic herds of various animalistic monsters that stomped around.
So boulders jutted out of the ground, likely rich with all sorts of materials, while those trees and shrubs bore fruits and berries that could definitely be useful for all sorts of things; there were even small clusters of wild grain that sprouted here and there, though they were hotspots of activity.
"This is quite the place... almost makes the denomination ’Dungeon’ feel wrong since this is anything but a dreary, cold place devoid of any hope. It’s just... a wildlife sanctuary really."
"There are dozens of monster variants just in the area in front of us, and quite a few of them are looking just a little too appetizing... and also profitable, of course."
I couldn’t deny that seeing sothing like this so close to our ho - in the grand sche of things, I an - made quite happy, because the various bovines, avians and reptiles that were made into large monsters ant that we now had a large supply of different ats available to us.
Not only at, but also a lot of bones, organs, pelts, scales and feathers, with a whole lot of other things waiting to be found as well; this was a paradise for us, but at the sa ti the risk was extrely obvious here.
Where other Dungeons hid their occupants from sight and attempted to catch any adventurers off guard with well tid packs, this Dungeon just showed off its population smugly, making it abundantly clear that you were severely outnumbered.
If you just drew the aggression of one monster you had an extrely high, if not guaranteed chance of alerting a dozen others imdiately, and if you were extrely lucky they might not alert any others.
That was practically impossible though, so the chain reaction of monsters alerting one another ant an unending horde of monsters charging at you incessantly, and that was horrifying.
Even if they weren’t the strongest in the world, enough of any enemy would eventually overwhelm you, so this place... it was a problem, yet with high risk ca high reward; all we needed to do was find a way to alleviate as much of that risk as possible, which was quite the tall order...
