Chapter 320 - 320: The Art of Butchering

"It's dead! Quick, put it into the pot for scalding!"

A cheer erupted from the crowd.

With a flurry of hands, they tossed the blood-drained black pig into a specially made container.

Boiling water, controlled by a Water-type ability user, was poured over the pig's body.

The once jet-black skin gradually turned red, and the hair on its hide started falling off strand by strand under the hot water.

A faint aroma of meat even began to waft out.

As the pig was scalded in the container, it suddenly struggled violently, almost flipping the container over with its immense strength.

The crowd gasped in shock.

"This pig is tenacious!"

"Of course it is! It's a mutated black pig—its vitality must be mutated too."

"I remember last year's pig-slaughtering feast when one pig actually escaped from the boiling pot and almost ran out of the central zone. This one still doesn't compare to that one."

"Is that so? What a pity I wasn't around then to see it."

"Hurry up! Stop just standing there watching—get it back in. Be careful not to splash yourself with the boiling water."

"Oh, come on! There are so many people here. It'll be fine, no problem."

The lively crowd was entirely unfazed by the scene; they were long used to it.

Sure enough, it didn't take long before the struggling black pig was forced back into the boiling pot and transformed into a thoroughly lifeless one.

The onlookers breathed a collective sigh of relief, their faces relaxing into smiles.

Nearby, the chopping board for butchering was already set up.

The freshly scalded black pig was hoisted onto the board with everyone's combined effort.

Standing at the ready was Do Seungjin, whose years of experience were evident.

Before the apocalypse, Do Seungjin had been a butcher.

Now, he had already donned a professional butcher's outfit: a waterproof, stain-resistant apron that matched his aura perfectly.

Even members of the plant re

The Cryo Wolf were overjoyed, they were leaping and bouncing with excitement.

It wasn't as though they had never eaten black pig meat before.

On some occasions, they'd even feasted on an entire black pig, eating to their hearts' content.

Yet, this time they seemed particularly thrilled—not because of the meat itself, but because it was given to them by the human they like the most.

Luna, however, didn't share the Cryo Wolf and Cresent's enthusiasm for black pork.

She perched gracefully atop Kang Hose's head, it rested with its eyes closed, occasionally licking its paws or flicking its tail, all the while casting disdainful glances at the frolicking Cryo Wolf and Cresent.

The animals knew their boundaries and didn't dare mess with the pork in the humans' hands.

Kim Haru, seeing no harm in their behavior, let them play freely.

Before long, the Cryo Wolf found their way to the pig pen.
