The Emperor is Above

Chapter 52 Huge Harvest

The fighting last night was brutal, and almost everyone was injured.

However, if you count carefully, no militiaman in Huaiqiu was killed. Although five or six militiamen were knocked down by wolves and seriously injured, they managed to save their lives thanks to the protection of double-layer armor.

Four more servants of Master Tun Gu's family died, leaving only nine people to follow him. The biggest loss was caused by the caravan led by the short and fat merchant.

Compared with these losses, the spoils in front of us are obviously more astonishing.

Qing Yi walked slowly past the rows of spoils, and kept telling Daniu and Chai Yong, "Thirteen ordinary Blood Wolf tribe barbarians, there's nothing to say about this.

We will cut off all the heads soon, treat them with lime, and put them together with the previous ones. It will also be good to add another 65 acres of arable land for everyone.

Brother Shigu said that the corpse of the Blood Wolf Tribe's beastmaster had made greater contributions than that of a junior totem warrior, and it was also packed together with the corpse of the junior totem warrior.

Uncle Chai, please send someone to help the Dongmen brothers pack up the goods, cattle, horses, and vehicles on the caravan and have them take them back to the capital. After all, it is Chunyu Yaqing's caravan, so don't lose anything."

Finally, Qing Yi stood in front of a row of wild wolf corpses. Tun Shigu had already been impatient to skin the eighth-grade wild wolf himself, preparing to make a set of the most sophisticated armor for it.

As soon as he saw Qing Yi coming over, Tu Shigu hurriedly urged him, "Brother, come and help quickly. The wolf skin is best when it is peeled off while it is hot."

Pulling out the eighth-grade beast tooth dagger seized from a junior totem warrior, Qing Yi said with a smile: "In that case, I will skin one of the ninth-grade wild wolves."

"No, no, no -"

Tu Shigu hurriedly tried to stop him, glancing at him with distrustful eyes, "Brother, you can just skin the ordinary wild wolves, I'll take care of these exotic beasts."

"You don't trust me!"

This made Qing Yi speechless. He had mastered Tun Shigu's skinning skills last time, but he still chose an ordinary wild wolf to skin.

Tu Shigu was doing what he was best at, and soon returned to his talkative nature: "Don't worry, brother, I am a professional after all, let me deal with these strange beasts and wild wolves.

This eighth-grade desolate wolf is two feet long, which is enough to make two sets of full-body armor. Two ninth-grade desolate wolves can make three sets of armor together. How about I keep a set of eighth-grade ones for myself?"

After a bloody battle last night, Tun Shigu wore three layers of armor and hid in the innermost part to shoot arrows and provide long-range support. However, he still felt extremely unsafe and was eager for the armor made of eighth-grade wild wolf skin.

Faced with this request, Qing Yi agreed without hesitation and said, "If I didn't have your craftsmanship, I wouldn't be able to afford an eighth-grade wild wolf hide armor. Just keep one set for yourself."

"Okay, your words are enough for me, brother!" Tu Shigu felt much better after getting Qing Yi's permission, and continued to mutter,
"There are forty wild wolves left. With my craftsmanship, I can make you at least forty sets of top-grade armor. I can also use the leftovers to piece together ten sets of low-grade armor.

In this way, whether you use it for your own use after being conferred a title in the future, or transport it to the capital to sell it, it can be worth a large sum of money.

However, if you have mastered more advanced runes, you can also try to make rune armor. In addition, you can also make wolf tooth rune soldiers, wolf tooth rune arrows, and animal bone spears yourself."

"Rune armor?"

Qing Yi paused while peeling off the wolf's skin. He had never thought that runes could be engraved on armor. He became more and more yearning for the magical powers of the rune master and became more determined to enter the Imperial College as soon as possible.

Now there are so many wild wolf corpses, and the four fangs of the eighth-grade wild wolf, each of which is nearly two feet long, can be polished into an eighth-grade animal tooth dagger.

Two ninth-grade wild wolves can make eight ninth-grade wolf-tooth daggers, and the fangs of other wild wolves can also be used to make one hundred and sixty wolf-tooth spears.

As for wolf-tooth arrows, they were even more abundant, including thirty-eight eighth-grade wolf-tooth arrows, seventy-six ninth-grade wolf-tooth arrows, and one thousand five hundred and twenty ordinary wolf-tooth arrows.

When Qing Yi thought of this, he found that he had so many materials to practice rune engraving, and all the fatigue in his body disappeared immediately.

Seeing him like this, Tu Shigu couldn't help but chuckled and said, "Brother, I felt that we were the same kind of people the first time I saw you. Every time I make a set of exquisite armor by myself, the feeling of success is so comfortable. Sometimes I feel that my wife is too annoying. She pesters me every day and I have no time to do anything.

Now, while you are still young, you can study more. When you get married in a few years, you won’t have so much time to study runes, hahaha——"

This kind of display of affection in front of singles immediately drew a counterattack from Qing Yi: "Oh my, Brother Shi Gu, you actually still have time to spend with your wife.

Is it that making armor and soldiers is no longer fun, or is it that staying up late to work is boring? If you think your sister-in-law is too annoying, you can still divorce her!"

"Hey!" Pig Master Gu Dun couldn't pretend anymore and quickly changed the subject, "Brother, the skins and bones of these forty-three wild wolves can be transported back home and processed slowly.

There is enough wolf meat, which weighs about 7,000 to 8,000 kilograms. It is not convenient to transport it back home due to the muddy roads. When the weather gets warmer, it will easily go bad if it is not finished in a short time. It is best to transport it to the market in the capital and sell most of it.

Especially the meat of the three-headed wild wolves, you should keep it for yourself. Chai Yong has now advanced to the ninth level of strongman realm, so it is best for him to eat a piece of exotic beast meat every day as a tonic.

If you advance to the ninth-grade warrior realm in the future, remember to eat a piece of exotic beast meat every day to help with your cultivation. The higher your cultivation realm, the more energy you will need from your daily diet."

"I see. No wonder I have to eat so much beast meat every day to feel full. It seems that the energy contained in beast meat is too low!"

When Qing Yi heard what Tun Shigu said, his heart moved. He now ate at least fifty to sixty kilograms of animal meat every day, and his mouth was very tired from chewing.

"In that case, I'll try it now!"

"Be careful. It's easy for ordinary people to overeat after eating the meat of exotic beasts!"

Ignoring Tun Shigu's objection, Qing Yi cut off a large piece of fresh wolf meat from a ninth-grade wild wolf without hesitation, and cut off a small piece of wolf meat from an eighth-grade wild wolf.

"Uncle Chai, Brother Gongsun, and the two brothers Dongmen, come over later to eat ninth-grade wolf meat." He turned around and called out to Chai Yong, Gongsun Wu, and the two brothers Dongmen, then walked towards the camp on the top of the hill.

It was daybreak at this time. Several injured Huaiqiuli militiamen in the camp were making a fire to cook. Pieces of ordinary wild wolf meat were rolling in two four-foot copper pots, emitting a rich aroma.

Qing Yi cut the ninth-grade wolf meat into long strips, picked up a piece of meat with chopsticks and put it in to cook. Immediately, he smelled a richer aroma rising.

"Gudong..." The militiaman who was burning the fire nearby couldn't help swallowing his saliva and smiled embarrassedly, "Village head, this meat is so delicious, but it's a pity that we don't have the blessing to eat it."

"Ah wu——"

The little white fox squatted beside Qing Yi very consciously, holding the food bowl given to it last night, and waited obediently for the meal, but its pointed mouth was drooling with greed.

"Meow-"

The tabby cat came over with its round butt twisted, snatched the bowl of the militiaman next to it in a domineering manner, brought it to the fire and lay down, waiting very patiently.

The militiaman had his job taken away by the civet cat, but he was not angry at all. Instead, he looked very happy, as if he was very lucky.

"Hua Ni, you lazy cat actually has the strength of a seventh-grade exotic beast. Are you really a civet cat?" Qing Yi held the beast meat in one hand and kneaded the fat cat face with the other.

"Meow-"

Fortunately, the civet cat did not struggle or resist. It rubbed its head against Yi's hand as usual, but its eyes were always on the wolf meat in the pot.

Qing Yi noticed the reactions of the civet cat and the little fox, and thought with his chin in his hand: "It seems that this exotic beast meat really has great benefits."
