Beast World: The Ferocious God Xiang Liu is So Gentle

Chapter 348 Sperm Whale Oil

The cold season ended quickly, during which the two dragons sent back a lot of supplies.

Lu Yao also collected a lot of nuts and fruits, and took out most of them as payment to the sea creatures.

Because of the goddess's generosity, the sea people always thought of giving her whatever good things they had.

On this day, the sea creatures even dragged a whale to the island so that the goddess could have a taste.

Lu Yao excitedly went to see the whale, only to find that a giant whale about twenty meters long had already been pulled ashore.

The book says that when a whale falls, all things come to life. When an enormous whale reaches the end of its life, its huge body slowly sinks to the bottom of the sea, starting a feast that nourishes countless creatures.

Imagine a fish of such enormous size, its dimensions far exceeding human imagination. The arrival of this whale is like a great gift from heaven.

Its body is rich in nutrients, from muscles to bones, all of which are essential energy sources for the survival of other organisms.

During the long and harsh season, food resources are extremely scarce. Every year during this season, the people in the tribe face enormous challenges of hunger and survival.

However, if they are lucky enough to catch a massive whale in winter, the situation will be entirely different. This whale would be a precious gift from heaven, becoming a crucial guarantee for them to survive the entire cold season.

Imagine a whale of immense size, its meat providing a wealth of energy and nutrients. The tribe would excitedly cut the whale into small pieces, carefully storing them away. This whale meat would be enough to feed everyone, ending their hunger.

Lu Yao stepped forward and touched the whale, and the system immediately notified her: "Congratulations, host, you have obtained a sperm whale. Reward: one gold coin!"

Haiwei began leading his people to cut up the whale. The whale oil was too greasy and had a foul, fishy smell, so they were all prepared to throw it away.

Lu Yao quickly stepped forward to stop her, saying, "Whale oil is a good thing. It can be used not only for cooking but also for lighting."

Haiwei immediately became interested: "Can this fat be made into candles?"

"Although it can't be made into candles, it can be used as lamp oil. Whale oil burns longer than candles and is very easy to make."

Haiwei: "Leave all the fatty meat behind, and send some more animal meat to the Goddess's cave!"

Whale meat is tender and juicy, with a subtle fishy flavor. This fishy taste isn't unpleasant; rather, it's a natural aroma closely connected to the ocean. It seems to carry the mystery and vastness of the deep sea, allowing you to experience the allure of the ocean's depths the moment you taste it.

As you gently bite into a piece of lean whale meat, you hear a subtle "crunch," a sound that seems to open a door to an unknown world of delicious flavor. The meat fibers slowly unfurl in your mouth, releasing a rich, meaty aroma. Its taste combines the natural freshness of the meat with the unique salty and savory flavor of marine life, creating a wondrous and unprecedented experience for your taste buds.

Not long after they finished eating the whale meat, Haiwei brought over two large buckets of whale fat.

"The whale meat hasn't been processed yet. We'll send the remaining fat to the Goddess after we've finished cleaning it up."

"I can't take that much with me, so let's leave it on the island and use it together!"

Haiwei: "Is the Goddess really willing to teach the sea creatures how to make oil lamps?"

Lu Yao: "Make a small stone dish, polish the cotton thread with wax and put it in, then render the fat from the pork and pour the oil into the dish. It's very simple, you can try it."

Haiwei's execution was indeed very strong; by evening, he had made a small oil lamp and presented it to the goddess.

System notification: "Congratulations, host, you have obtained an oil lamp. Reward: one gold coin!"

Lu Yao: "Very good, but it would be even more convenient to make a lamp holder as well."

Xiang Liu found a large stone outside and carved an exquisite lamp base according to Lu Yao's instructions.

There was a protruding spot on the cave wall. Xiang Liu smoothed it out and placed the oil lamp on it, which immediately brightened the cave considerably.

Haiwei then brought several buckets of boiled whale oil and a bundle of waxed thread, which he handed to the goddess.

Then she promised, "We sea creatures live in the sea and don't consume much whale oil. The Goddess can send her people to collect it at any time. From now on, we will be responsible for boiling whale oil and supplying it to Chaoyang Valley. Anyway, we only consume one or two of these fish in each cycle of reincarnation, so there will be enough whale oil."

Lu Yao put these items into her spatial storage: "Thank you very much!"

Haiwei: "I don't deserve it. The Goddess has taught us so much; this is what we should do."
