Endless Winter: My Camp Upgrades Infinitely

148: Chapter 117 Teng Jiao Saliva and Poison Source [Combined Chapters]_3 148: Chapter 117 Teng Jiao Saliva and Poison Source [Combined Chapters]_3 Although Xia Hong understood this principle, he had no way to improve it.

He himself had no knowledge of pharmacology, and the civilization of the Ice Abyss World was inherently incomplete.

There may be people with this knowledge, but Great Xia Camp definitely didn’t have them.

“We can only wait for Cheng Feng to slowly explore on his own, or hope for a gifted individual to appear.

Otherwise, we should rely on piling coal stones, letting the Medicine Decoction Pot continuously identify medicinal materials, which could also increase the probability of synthesizing new formulas!”

For now, these seem to be the only methods.

Xia Hong shook his head and stored all the Teng Jiao Saliva in the wooden cabinet against the wall, labeled them, and then left.

After leaving the Alchemy Room, Xia Hong went directly to the Camp Supply Station.

In the Camp Supply Station, Shi Ping and three others were surrounding a gigantic wooden table, on which was piled the Teng Jiao that they had just brought back.

“Greetings, leader!”

Xia Hong slightly waved his hand, walked up to the Teng Jiao, and looked back at the four.

“Start processing, be careful.

Before this Teng Jiao died, it could spray poison mist from its nose and mouth, so be extra cautious when handling the head area.”

“Understood, leader!”

Great Xia is no longer what it used to be.

With daily hunts, there are naturally people specialized in processing prey.

Cold Beast materials are managed by the Camp Supply Station, and those responsible for handling the prey also come from there.

From the actions of the four, it was obvious that Shi Ping was just there to notify, while the other three were the main butchers handling the prey.

Skinning, extracting tendons, deboning, dividing the meat…

the three wielded butcher knives, working together seamlessly, their process fluid and smooth.

Xia Hong watched in awe until they started processing the head of the Teng Jiao, when he hurriedly focused his attention, stood up, ready to respond to any emergencies.

The Teng Jiao Poison Mist is lethal if inhaled in the Logging Realm.

Even though the Teng Jiao was dead, who knows if the poison mist had weakened?

If a few Logging Realm hunters died just from processing the Teng Jiao’s body, it would be a huge loss.

Fortunately, the three from the Camp Supply Station were indeed very experienced in handling prey.

The three carefully cut open the head, especially the nose and mouth areas that Xia Hong had mentioned, using small knives to slowly carve them out.

With such meticulous procedures, the three extracted a fist-sized chunk of throbbing meat from the Teng Jiao’s throat area.

Inside that meat, there was a pure white round pearl, emitting a white stream, continuously expanding outward, making the meat bulge like a living creature, quite mysterious.

The three wrapped the meat in leather cloth and handed it to Xia Hong beside them.

“Leader, this pearl should be the toxin source!”

Xia Hong had already stepped forward to take the meat.

There was no need for an explanation; smelling the scent emitting from the meat, he immediately realized that the pearl inside was the source of the Teng Jiao Poison Mist.

“What are your names?”

The three were taken aback for a moment, then looked pleasantly surprised and answered immediately.

“Reporting to the leader, my name is Tong Xinglong.”

“Reporting to the leader, my name is Tong Xingsheng.”

“Reporting to the leader, my name is Ying Yi.”

Upon hearing their names, Xia Hong raised an eyebrow slightly.

No wonder they were unfamiliar; all three of them were originally from the Rogel Camp.

If he remembered correctly, Tong Xinglong and Ying Yi were two of the fifteen Logging Realm hunters from Rogel Camp during the merger; as for the last one, Tong Xingsheng, judging by his name and appearance, he was clearly Tong Xinglong’s brother.

“How are your Contribution Values calculated at the Camp Supply Station?”

The three were slightly taken aback, clearly not expecting Xia Hong to ask that.

After a moment, Tong Xinglong answered: “The three of us handle the prey.

Lord Xia Chuan said, regardless of the size of the Cold Beast, every five hundred pounds of meat accounts for one Contribution Value;

Aside from this, distributing Cold Beast Meat each night to the reservists and monthly to children under six is also our responsibility, and each time accounts for one point;

Besides these two methods, if we want to earn more Contribution Points, we can help the Logging Team or Collection Team when the Camp Supply Station isn’t busy.”

Five hundred pounds for one point, and a single Cold Beast often yields over a thousand pounds of meat, which is two points; adding a point for distributing Cold Beast Meat, that’s a baseline of at least three points every night; taking extra help into account from other areas, the Camp Supply Station’s compensation is actually quite comparable to that of the Collection and Logging Teams.

“You guys are doing well.

In the future, when processing prey, even if no one reminds you, be as careful as you were this time.

Especially with unfamiliar prey, be sure to be cautious.

If we’re unharmed during the hunt outside but something happens due to your processing, that would be bad!”

“Yes, leader!”

Hearing the care in Xia Hong’s tone, a touch of emotion flashed in the eyes of the three, who quickly nodded respectfully, filled with admiration.

Xia Hong pondered for a moment, then said to Shi Ping behind him: “Add three Contribution Points to each of them.”

Shi Ping heard this and immediately nodded in compliance.

Tong Xinglong and the other two were incredibly excited.

If Xia Hong hadn’t stopped them, they might have knelt down to express their gratitude.

“No need for that.

I thought this Teng Jiao’s body might be troublesome to deal with, but it turns out you did well.

Keep up the good work in the future!”

To be personally asked their names by Xia Hong, along with the bonus of three Contribution Points, that was already an unexpected pleasure;

Upon hearing Xia Hong’s last verbal commendation, the three were even more inspired.

“Rest assured, leader, the three of us will certainly work diligently in the future.”

All three bowed their heads simultaneously, formally saluting Xia Hong.

“Alright, you three continue handling it.

Shi Ping, stay here, and after it’s processed, send all the Teng Jiao Spine to the Blacksmith Room.”

“Yes, leader!”

Shi Ping also nodded in compliance, and when he looked up again, he found Xia Hong already gone.

“To be personally commended by the leader, you three are quite lucky.”

“Hahaha…”

Hearing Shi Ping’s teasing, Tong Xinglong and the other two burst into hearty laughter.
