"Is this what a monster that reached the Second Stage looks like?"
Jason curiously squatted beside the gigantic beast’s corpse, which lay next to Pororo, observing it closely.
The body was relatively intact overall, except for two spikes piercing it in reverse and two broken tusks.
It was sowhat regrettable to see, as such huge tusks were prized trophies. The irregular way they had broken was a particular pity.
Fortunately, Jason was clearly uninterested in such things.
The main cause of death was Pororo channeling thunder into the beast’s head, inflicting a decisively fatal injury.
Juanlu also drew near, curiously inspecting the beast.
As a chef, the mont he saw this corpse, only three questions filled his mind: Can it be eaten? Is it tasty? How should it be cooked?
Alka walked over, picked up the two broken tusks from the ground, and examined their material properties.
"Nice, very good materials indeed," Alka couldn’t help but exclaim.
These two tusks could truly be considered excellent materials. Besides, they were enormous, larger than both his arms combined.
They were extrely sturdy and possessed excellent Magic Power conduction—a combination generally at odds with high durability in materials.
Now, in his hands, were materials that offered the best of both worlds.
There seed to be special channels within the tusks, apparently for Magic Power transmission.
Except for necessary cavities, the rest of the tusks had an extrely high density, making them truly natural materials.
Artificially slted materials could never achieve such natural, masterful craftsmanship.
He walked over and squatted beside Juanlu, and together they began to inspect the various parts of the monster’s body.
The tusks had greatly surprised Alka, and he couldn’t help but wonder what other materials could be found on this giant beast.
"There’s so peculiar Energy inside this horn, this hide is tough, and the spikes on its body aren’t bad either."
Clearly, this monster had not disappointed him.
As Alka admired it, Juanlu also cut off a piece of at from the monster’s body.
The chunk of at in his hand was translucent and marbled with splendid patterns; its appearance alone suggested that any dish made from this at would be delicious.
The two of them skillfully began to dissect the corpse.
"Isn’t such a strong bloody scent going to attract other monsters?" Pororo sniffed and asked from the side.
They weren’t in so slaughterhouse now but on a dangerous Island.
To him, the reek of blood was overwhelmingly strong.
Upon hearing this, Chadite imdiately cast a Spell that resembled a gust of wind.
It dispersed the scent towards the sea, preventing it from spreading further inland.
Thankfully, Juanlu’s butchering skills were excellent. Working with Alka, they had the huge monster cleanly butchered in less than twenty minutes.
"Apart from the blood, which has little use, this monster is a treasure trove!" Alka said, shaking the blood from his hands as he looked at the separated materials.
The bones, like the tusks, were made of the sa high-quality material. This discovery alone was enough to make Alka grin for days.
Its most valuable part was the pointed horn protruding from its head.
However, Alka hadn’t yet figured out how to use this horn. The hide and spikes were also quite good.
Additionally, the harvested flesh would be enough to feed everyone on the ship for a long ti, especially since the at was rich in Magic Power.
After cleaning the blood from his hands and the harvested materials, everything was packed into Juanlu’s Pocket Ring.
This was mainly because Alka’s Pocket Ring didn’t have much space left.
"Is this at really delicious?" Lucilia couldn’t help but ask from the side.
Juanlu’s constant praise during the dissection had piqued everyone’s curiosity.
"Rest assured, it’s definitely top-notch delicious," Juanlu said, a smile spreading across his face.
Such ingredients would be incredibly hard to find in the Holand Sea.
For a chef, creating delicious food requires not only superb skills but also excellent ingredients.
Both are indispensable.
Better ingredients could also hone one’s skills to greater heights.
The two were complentary.
He was very satisfied with their first stop in the Endless Sea.
Clearly, Alka had the sa thoughts.
"Alright, let’s continue forward," Alka announced.
With that, the group resud their previous formation and began to explore the small grove ahead.
It seed that because a Second Stage monster had recently passed through, most small animals in the vicinity had been scared away.
Then they saw Matilda, who had entered the woods ahead of them, sotis squatting in one spot, sotis darting to another.
Each ti, she managed to gather so plants that the others didn’t recognize.
Seeing the gazes from everyone, Matilda felt a little embarrassed and said, "These are all good herbs; I’m collecting so."
Everyone nodded.
Alka and Juanlu, having just reaped their own bountiful harvest, understood her enthusiasm perfectly.
"Do you need any help?" Alka asked.
"No, no, I’ll just pick a few," Matilda said, waving her hand.
Despite her words, as they advanced, an increasing variety of herbs appeared. Matilda soon found she couldn’t carry any more and reluctantly had to stop collecting.
