After Bao Rui and the three of them entered the forest, Liu Guanfeng looked up at the trees inside. He was preparing to make a stretcher and a pair of crutches. When he saw some suitably thick branches, he instructed Copper Bull and Iron Bull to cut them down, and then he also chopped some vines and similar plants.
He tied two branches together with vines to create a simple stretcher. The three brothers of Bao Rui were amazed by this, and Iron Bull asked:
"Third Brother, what is this thing you made? I've never seen anything like it before."
Liu Guanfeng smiled at Iron Bull and said, "This is called a stretcher. Eastern Star can no longer walk. If he tries to walk, his legs might never recover. Carrying him on someone's back would be the same, so with this stretcher, two people can carry him without any problem."
Then Liu Guanfeng had Iron Bull and Copper Bull find some sturdy tree forks. They picked out the two strongest Y-shaped branches and used his treasured sword to carve them little by little until a pair of crutches was quickly completed. When Bao Rui and the others saw the crutches he made, they gasped again, and this time it was Copper Bull who asked, "Third Brother, what are these two things?"
"These are called crutches. Do you see that branch? You can place it under a person's armpit to support their weight. You see these two branches? A person's hands can grip them to help them walk instead of using their feet."
Iron Bull leaned in closer and said, "Third Brother, how did you come up with this? It's really impressive."
Liu Guanfeng tapped Iron Bull on the head: "If you read more books in the future, you'll know everything." At the same time, he thought to himself: As for whether you can find this book, I don't know.
Excitedly, Copper Bull and Iron Bull lifted the stretcher and placed the extra branches, axe, and crutches on it. The two brothers happily sang as they walked. Liu Guanfeng shook his head behind them; these two brothers were truly treasures, finding joy in everything.
After half an hour, the three of them returned. When they came back, everyone had already packed everything up. Each person was carrying one or several Fire Wolves, but no one had touched the Wolf King Guardian, because that Wolf King Guardian was killed by XP and was the most valuable among all the Fire Wolves, so everyone was waiting for him to return.
Seeing that everyone was ready, Liu Guanfeng told everyone to wait a moment before approaching Eastern Star. He used two branches to secure his entire left leg and then used his tattered outer garment to bind it tightly bit by bit.
Halfway through binding, he had already used up all his clothing and could only call over Song Qun, taking off what little clothing he had left that could no longer cover him. He secured Eastern Star's entire leg completely, making it look not much different from a zongzi (sticky rice dumpling). Looking at his tightly wrapped leg, Eastern Star said to Liu Guanfeng:
"Little brother, how am I supposed to walk like this?"
Liu Guanfeng looked at Eastern Star and said, "If you want your leg to keep walking, don't think about using it right now. Do you see these two things?" After saying that, I brought the cane in front of him.
"If you really want to walk, use the cane and remember not to put your left leg on the ground. Once we reach the city, find a doctor for some medicine. If you need to apply anything, open up your leg, apply the medicine, and then wrap it up again. As for now, Uncle Song."
"What is it, little brother?" Song Qun immediately walked over.
"Uncle, please go get a wolf pelt."
"Okay." After saying that, Song Qun pulled over a Fire Wolf. As an experienced Mercenary, he skillfully handled the body and quickly removed the pelt in one piece.
"Copper Bull, Iron Bull, you two bring over the stretcher." The Copper Bull brothers carried over the stretcher. I laid the entire wolf pelt on it and called Xie Zhuang and Song Qun to help lift Eastern Star onto the stretcher. Then Dean Su called over two male teachers to assist with carrying the stretcher. Despite Song Qun and Xie Zhuang insisting on carrying it themselves, they eventually relented after my persuasion.
I then went to the large Stone where I had initially hidden my gear. After putting on my wrist guards, leg guards, and vest, I placed the Wolf King Guardian on XP's back and started heading down the mountain. When I reached the spot where I had placed my prey, I asked Copper Bull to climb a tree and retrieve it. Upon seeing what I had hunted, both Copper Bull and Iron Bull expressed their amazement.
Soon, our group arrived at the foot of the mountain where several tents had already been set up. A bonfire was also lit in front of the tents. Once at the bottom, everyone laid down the Fire Wolf on the ground; there were nearly thirty Fire Wolf corpses that startled those at the base of the mountain.
Everyone piled up all the Fire Wolf bodies together. At this moment, Dean Su addressed everyone: "These Fire Wolf corpses are trophies of the Red Star Mercenary Group. Please keep an eye on them so that we don't lose any."
Liu Hong stood nearby and said, "The prey here is a gift for our esteemed dean. Today, our Red Star Mercenary Group owes our survival in Beast Origin Mountain Range to all of you teachers and classmates."
Dean Su countered, "Actually, it was only Teacher Yuepeng and Liu Guanfeng who saved you. We didn't help much at all; we really can't accept your gifts. If you want to give something, give it to those two."
Hearing this from the dean, Teacher Yuepeng stepped forward: "I acted because of Liu Guanfeng. Dean Su tasked me with ensuring Liu Guanfeng's safety. If it weren't for him, I wouldn't have intervened. If you want to thank someone, thank him; don't include me." Saying this, Teacher Yuepeng pointed at Liu Guanfeng.
Liu Hong looked at Liu Guanfeng with her bright eyes and walked towards him: "Thank you very much, little brother. Today you saved our entire Mercenary group and brought my husband back to life. If you ever need anything, just come find us in Starfall City. Although we're just a small Mercenary group, we can still help you with many things. To express our gratitude for saving our lives, we'll give you all these Fire Wolf corpses."
Liu Guanfeng glanced at the Fire Wolf corpses behind him and then looked at everyone else. Their eyes were filled with desire for the Fire Wolf bodies; even Director Jin was eagerly anticipating them. Only Dean Su's face showed no expression—indeed someone who had seen much of the world.
"Since that's the case, then I will thank you in advance." After saying this, Liu Guanfeng noticed a hint of disappointment flash across Dean Su's face.
"Aunt Liu Hong, does that mean I can now take control of these Fire Wolf corpses?"
At that moment, Song Qun's voice rang out again: "Little brother, our Team Leader Liu has already said that from now on, these Fire Wolf corpses belong to you."
"Alright, Uncle Song Qun, could I ask you and Uncle Xie Zhuang for a favor?"
"Little brother, just tell us what you need." Song Qun patted his chest.
Liu Guanfeng looked at the two uncles, Song Qun and Xie Zhuang. "Could you both help me skin the wolves? We're just students and not very skilled at this."
"No problem, leave it to us." After saying this, the two uncles took all the Fire Wolf corpses to a nearby small river and began to skin them.
Liu Guanfeng instructed XP to extract the Core from one of the Fire Wolves. This was the Fire Wolf he had decapitated when he rushed in; it was his first kill, and he decided to keep it as a memento.
Then Liu Guanfeng and XP dragged the Wolf King Guardian's corpse to the riverbank as well. The others began preparing dinner. The meat of the Fire Wolf wasn't tasty; the only useful parts were the wolf skins and claws. So Song Qun and Xie Zhuang skinned the wolves while keeping the claws attached, setting everything else aside.
Liu Guanfeng also found the two Fire Wolves he had killed—one headless and one gutted. He set aside their skins and one Core separately from the others.
While skinning the wolves, Liu Guanfeng had Bao Rui and the others watch closely, and sometimes they helped out as well. In no time, they had cleaned all the wolf skins and Cores, burying the remaining parts.
In total, they skinned twenty-eight Fire Wolf pelts and collected twenty-seven Fire Wolf Cores, along with a complete set from the Wolf King Guardian. They then carried everything back to their base. Liu Guanfeng called over several members of the Red Star Mercenary Group.
"Since you've all said these things belong to me, I'll start distributing them."
"Little brother, just distribute them as you see fit; we’ve all agreed that these are yours."
Liu Guanfeng took out the skins of the two Fire Wolves he had killed and one Core, handing over all the remaining Cores to Liu Hong.
Liu Hong was startled at that moment. Although Liu Guanfeng did not know how much these items were worth, he knew that a Fourth Rank magical beast could sell for 50 gold coins, and this Core was the most valuable part of the beast's body, so it couldn't be worth less than 10 gold coins. There were a total of twenty-six Cores, including several Fifth Tier Cores. Liu Hong insisted that they would not take them.
Liu Guanfeng said, "It's not easy for you mercenaries, and it seems like you've lost some people. Their families need this money too. Although I don't know how much these things are worth, they can at least help alleviate some difficulties. Consider these Cores as compensation for your fallen teammates."
Before Liu Guanfeng finished speaking, Liu Hong and his companions knelt down before him, and Eastern Star, who was lying nearby, was also in tears.
Liu Hong was choked with emotion: "I, Liu Hong, thank you on behalf of my deceased brothers and sisters for your great kindness." This time it was Liu Guanfeng who was taken aback and hurriedly helped Liu Hong and his companions up.
"Aunt Liu Hong, you are making me feel overwhelmed. These items were originally meant for you. You don’t need to thank me; being a mercenary is indeed difficult, facing life-threatening situations every day. The gold coins earned each time are limited as well.
As for me, I am still a student and my family is relatively well-off, so I really don't need much money. Aunt Liu Hong, please sit here for a while; I will go distribute the other items."
Liu Hong nodded through his tears. Liu Guanfeng took out the first wolf skin he had killed and walked up to Dean Su:
"Dean Su, I want to thank you for bringing them to rescue me and for sending Teacher Yuefeng to ensure my safety." After saying this, Liu Guanfeng presented the wolf skin to Dean Su: "Dean Su, this is the first prey I have ever killed with my own hands. I would like to give this wolf skin to you; I hope you will accept it."
Dean Su accepted the wolf skin, smiling and nodding while stroking it, but he did not say a word. Liu Guanfeng then presented the skin of the second Fire Wolf he had killed to Director Jin, who was also very pleased to receive it.
Liu Guanfeng gave each of the remaining teachers a wolf skin. Then he approached Teacher Lin Yan: "Lin Teacher, I originally wanted to give you a wolf skin as well, but since you are a female teacher, having a wolf skin at home might not look good. So I decided to give this one to you; I hope you will accept it."
