Live Strong in the Wilderness-Chapter 89: Processing Wolf Carcasses

The two of them skinned all four wolf pelts, and then Xu Yi started making a tripod.

If the fur isn’t stretched tightly, it will soon wrinkle and become useless.

After Xu Yi sprayed pain relief spray on his leg, there was only a slight pain left. It can be said that the effect is very good.

Xu Yi made two tripods, not because he didn’t want to make four, but because there weren’t any longer logs left.

Two will do. Once one is fixed, the other one can be fixed facing the opposite direction.

After fixing the fur, the excess fat on top must be scraped off.

Lu Ke was still dealing with the four wolves. After skinning, the wolf meat needed to be sliced and then hung up to smoke.

Xu Yi finished dealing with the wolf pelts by over two in the afternoon.

However, neither of them felt any drowsiness, nor did they plan on resting.

"There’s about 40 pounds of meat per wolf. These four should last us for a while," Lu Ke said while slicing the wolf meat, glancing at Xu Yi.

A fire burned in the yard, and Xu Yi was hanging up the wolf meat for smoking.

Without smoking, it couldn’t be preserved for a few days.

"Yes, it’ll last us about a dozen days," Xu Yi said with a grin, happily remarking.

Food is very important in the wilderness.

In a dozen days, Xu Yi could build thick earthen walls. Once done, they could withstand even if a black bear came.

"I really didn’t expect us to succeed," Lu Ke still found it somewhat unbelievable that she actually shot the lead wolf.

The most impressive, of course, was Xu Yi, who alone faced an attack from three wolves and managed to hunt them all.

"Yeah, we can handle wolf packs, so in the future, we can give it a try when facing other dangers," Xu Yi said with a grin. He wasn’t being overconfident; he just had a certain understanding of his strength and knew his capabilities.

As for unknown creatures like the Overlord, Xu Yi still had self-awareness.

"Yeah, we can’t give up easily. We didn’t even realize how formidable we are without confronting them," Lu Ke said happily, as this battle tonight indeed boosted her confidence.

"We’ll only get stronger," Xu Yi said confidently, planning to teach Lu Ke the Eighteen Forms of Body Strengthening the next day.

After all, the camera would inevitably capture him practicing the Eighteen Forms of Body Strengthening, so why not just treat it as a benefit for the audience?

"Hey, I’m feeling a bit hungry. How about you?" Lu Ke paused her actions and looked at Xu Yi.

"I am too. How about we grill some meat slices?" Xu Yi, feeling a bit hungry himself, suggested having some grilled meat.

"Sure, I’ll do the grilling," Lu Ke said, standing up to get the Engineer Shovel.

After cleaning the Engineer Shovel, Lu Ke placed some meat slices on it and set them on the fire to grill.

Soon, the meat began to sizzle and emit a delicious aroma.

Lu Ke then sprinkled some salt over the meat slices and flipped them over.

Once grilled, she placed them in a bowl.

"Xu Yi, give it a taste, see how it is," Lu Ke said, as she hadn’t eaten wolf meat before and wasn’t sure about its taste.

Xu Yi wasn’t shy, grabbing a slice with his chopsticks.

"Hmm, it’s not bad, quite tasty. With some cumin powder, it wouldn’t lose out to grilled lamb skewers," Xu Yi said, handing a slice to Lu Ke.

Lu Ke, smelling the aroma, opened her mouth.

"Hmm, it is indeed quite good. Slice some more," Lu Ke said, smiling at Xu Yi.

The two continued grilling and eating, with Xu Yi’s hands never stopping.

They worked busily until past 5 a.m., finally slicing and hanging all the meat from the four wolves, leaving only the bones.

Xu Yi planned to throw away the four skeletons. After all, they weren’t edible or valuable for making tools, and all the meat had been stripped clean.

"Lu Ke, you should go rest, it’s almost dawn," Xu Yi said to Lu Ke, although he too hadn’t slept all night, he still felt fine.

"What about you?" Lu Ke looked at Xu Yi. After staying up all night, she was indeed a bit sleepy.

"You rest first, I’ll be there shortly. It’s been raining non-stop, so I don’t need to go out today," Xu Yi said, as he indeed had no plans to leave today.

"Alright, I’ll get some sleep first." After the midnight snack, she wasn’t feeling hungry anymore, and being so tired, all she wanted was to sleep.

After speaking, Lu Ke went straight into the house and fell asleep within a minute.

Xu Yi, holding a saw, chopped up the bones and tied them into a bundle.

He initially thought that chopping bones would dull the blade.

But contrary to his expectation, the more he used it, the sharper it seemed to get.

Once Lu Ke woke up, Xu Yi planned to take the bones and four wolf heads out to dispose of them by the shore.

He hadn’t planned on sleeping today, as the firewood was running low.

Xu Yi dismantled bundles of firewood and stacked them together to form a round tower.

This way, a fire could be started in the middle to dry the firewood.

With these large tents, they could store more firewood now.

Xu Yi kept himself busy, handling all the firewood.

Though a bit tired, Xu Yi still felt very spirited.

Leaning against the door, Xu Yi glanced at Lu Ke, who was still fast asleep, and then closed his eyes.

"System, check-in."

After checking in, the screen lit up.

Twenty-five light points appeared, and in three days, he could claim a 7-day Basic Gift Package.

However, Xu Yi cared more about the monthly gift package, and in six days, he’d have checked in for 31 days. By then, he could claim the monthly gift package.

The Intermediate Gift Package was something Xu Yi was very much looking forward to.

After receiving so many Basic Gift Packages, his life in the wilderness had already become quite comfortable.

As for the Intermediate Gift Package, it would certainly make life even more pleasant for both him and Lu Ke in the wild.

Having this system indeed made one stronger, enhancing survival skills as well.

Without the system, relying solely on his own strength, Xu Yi was confident he could have lasted until now. However, it would have been tough, and perhaps he would often be hungry.

Surviving these 20 days hasn’t been easy.

So far, 93 teams have been eliminated.

As things stand, as long as one perseveres for 100 days, the next 400 days shouldn’t be a problem.

After all, there was nothing at the beginning.

But as time goes on, more tools and weapons are acquired.

Therefore, the first month is the hardest.

Normally, anyone who can last a month usually has mastered some wilderness survival skills.

But Xu Yi knew, the organizers wouldn’t let them live peacefully.

The territory tasks were meant to increase difficulty.

He sensed that as they progressed, there would be more tasks with increasing difficulty.

Nonetheless, no matter how challenging, Xu Yi was determined to see it through to the end.
