Chapter 995: Raining Fire Across the Sky (3)

The ogre corpses were quickly moved away.

Zhao Chi led the female soldiers back.

In Taoyuan Village, nearly 400 massive ogre corpses were piled up like mountains.

They were already foul-smelling when alive, and now that they were dead, they seemed even more so.

But the female villagers did not shrink back at all.

Although disgusted, they still rushed over without hesitation, ready to butcher them.

Yang Lu and her hunting squad had already prepared their small knives, ready to cut at any moment.

Chu Shi and her cooking squad had also prepared their kitchen knives, standing by waiting for orders.

Xia Jing's mining squad and Lin Mei's logging squad had also come to help.

With so many people, the work went quickly.

Chu Shi had arrived only this morning.

Among the 20 new female villagers who arrived today, Gu Qing had reassigned 10 of them as dedicated female cooks.

The Cook profession comes with 5 points of Cooking Skill, equivalent to half a year of full-time experience. Although she couldn't be called a great chef, she was still far more professional than Yang Lu and the others who couldn't cook at all.

Among them, Chu Shi had a good temperament, so she was appointed as the cooking squad leader.

Apart from these four squads, Zhuang Ya was also standing nearby, brimming with enthusiasm.

Zhao Chi found it a little odd: "Zhuang Ya, what are you doing here? Why aren't you soaking in the Carefree Spring?"

Zhuang Ya said a little sheepishly: "I want to help butcher them too, is that alright, Lord Zhao Chi?"

Zhao Chi said, puzzled: "Do you want to learn the technique of butchering meat? For cooking?"

Zhuang Ya bit her lower lip: "Not exactly… I just want to cut them… alive or dead, either is fine…"

Everyone looked at Zhuang Ya.

Zhuang Ya waved her hands: "Don't look at me like that, I'm… I'm perfectly normal."

Zhao Chi understood.

It was probably her talent effect at work.

Some talents have many effects, but only the main one is described.

For example, Tang Ruan's masochistic inclination — the effect is that morale increases after taking damage, and damage reduction is provided.

It's clearly an effect that only activates after being injured, yet Tang Ruan obviously has masochistic tendencies in daily life too.

It seems Zhuang Ya is the same.

It's clearly only when she deals combat damage to enemies that her talent's sadistic inclination gives her a boost.

Yet in daily life, she also reveals such traits.

For example, liking to cut people.

Of course, the targets are all enemies.

Thinking of this, Zhao Chi agreed: "Zhuang Ya, just keep yourself in check, don't scare them."

Zhuang Ya laughed: "I won't, don't worry. Thanks, little Zhao Chi."

These ogres were pretty good.

Each one weighed a full ton.

Intact corpses were few — every one was riddled with arrow holes and knife marks, or scorched pitch-black.

There were also plenty of severed limbs and mangled remains, piled up haphazardly.

But under Zhuang Ya and the others' butchering, Zhao Chi was still able to roughly understand the composition of one ogre.

200 kilograms of fat, 400 kilograms of lean meat, 100 kilograms of thick hide, and the remaining 300 kilograms made up of organs, bones, blood, and horns.

Calculated this way, the fat alone could yield another 77 tons.

The base material for fire oil was secured.

Ogre hide was very thick and very large — one whole hide could be split into 3 standard hides. Subtracting the unusable portions, roughly 800 usable ogre hides could be processed.

He didn't know what effects these hides had; he'd make a few high-heeled shoes later to test them out.

The lean meat came to 155 tons.

Zhao Chi's territory definitely wouldn't eat it; he'd sell it to Zhao Cang later.
