"Ouch..."
I hissed as the rough fabric of the bandage touched my wound. The pain was bearable, but it still made me wince.
I could have easily avoided the discomfort by drinking one of my precious health potions, but I was trying to be economical with my resources.
After all, they were expensive and I only had a few left.
After bandaging my wound up and making sure that the bleeding had stopped, I took a deep breath and steadied myself before standing up and walking over to the headless Yeti.
With a steady hand, I drew my Katana and carefully sliced open its ribcage, trying my best to avoid getting any blood on my clothes. Inside, nestled between the creature's organs, I saw a pulsating Azure Orb filled with Mana.
Without hesitation, I grabbed the core, storing it inside my inventory, not even bothering to wipe away the blood on its surface.
Glancing down at the crimson snow under my feet, I frowned.
"This smell will attract Winter Wolves..." I muttered to myself.
