**********

after successfully kill the Big Brown Boar, all of them started to dissect it. they separate the skin and tusk from meat and bones. they remove the organs and any useless body parts while keeping the useful one clean and prime.

Rick, who have no experience about dissecting animal, can only watch from the side. he do have an experience about dissection but not animal. something Rick don't want to remember again.

as Rick watched over the dissection process, he can see how powerful the beast is as even with several people dissecting the carcass it is still very difficult to be done. the reason is because the beast is quite powerful compared to any of them and the body remain as powerful as it is alive even when it is dead.

so each of them , including Gunka, have to use their inner energy to sharpen their dissection blade. and even then the difference in rank still make the process very tedious and tiring.

after the carcass has been cut up and the parts is keep in proper carrier, everyone take some time to rest. Rick as the only one who didn't do anything, try to help as much as he can by set up a fire and share their food ration.

"thank you for the meal friend" said Needle cultivator as he accept some food from Rick

as they enjoy their rest and eat, time seems to goes fly and suddenly it is already a few hour before night.

they all decided to go back to the village. they all shared the burden of carrying the beast body parts but Rick, who feel useless when they cut the body apart, offer to carry most of the burden.

this offer draw a question in everyone mind as they know even if Rick is strong, he is not a full fledge cultivator yet. he haven't get his cultivation art and still have the body of normal, but stronger, human body.

but Rick prove himself strong enough for the task by lifting almost half of boar body parts by himself and only show a slight change in expression, showing that even with that much weight Rick is not having a problem.

now with Rick carrying almost half the burden, the rest of the group can have easier time to travel back to the village with only bit over half burden shared among them.

on their way back to the village, Rick can't help to remember how strong the beast is. based on the information he got before this hunting begin, a single Brown Boar is already comparable to 3 - 4 new cultivator. the one they hunt today is a variant that is much, much more stronger than the basic Brown Boar. and to add more spice to it, this is a prey beast. means that in its life, the boar was never really meant to battle. any of it battle experience is only for self defense. imagine a hunter beast like tiger or bear, how much stronger will their be?

they reach the village by the time night fall. they hurried their step to nearby butcher to sell most of the boar meat they have. Rick also got a bit of share for himself even when he said the experience itself is already a good enough payment.

done with the hunting, Rick go back to his house in the forest by himself. along the way he begin to think about the beast again. about how strong they are and how powerful their body that is equiped with natural weapon.

a boar have its tusk that can impale their enemy.

a tiger have its fang and claw to rip their prey.

a bird have its beak and claw to to kill and a pair of wing to avoid most enemy.

each animal have their own natural weapon that, when use right, will become the most deadliest weapon.

then an idea appear in Rick mind as he think how cool will it be if he can have natural weapon like many predator beast.

Rick arrive at his home and proceed to do his daily need including preparing food for himself while thinking the many possibilities of having beastly power.

after he finish with food and cleaning up, he went to sleep.

'tomorrow i will ask Gunda about the possibilities of becoming a beast cultivator. if there is someone out there with similar power, then i also have a chance to aquire it' Rick think as his mind drifted away into dreamland.

as morning come, Rick can only stare blankly to his room ceiling.

a rush of image and word started to appear in his mind. like copying data from a flashdisk, Rick can feel a progress bar going more and more until it finished.

then a series of word appear in his mind.
