Legendary Shelter Survival Guide

Chapter 118 Grinding the teeth to dust

"Now what do I do with you all?" Lucas talked to himself inside the storage room. All the shelves were filled with random things.

But the most significant of them was the meat, both cooked and uncooked.

Many first squeezed the uncooked meat dry of any blood and stored the blood inside the buckets that seemed to be ordered again and again from John's cousin.

In a way. John's cousin was getting a lot of meat from Lcuas's group and it seemed to go that way for the time being.

Lucas had come to the storage for a certain kind of item that he had no idea of how to use. They were the claws, teeth, tongues, and all the random crap.

'It's really weird, normally I just look at the plants and I know the use but not for these knuckleheads... Ugh... It's frustrating!' Lucas exclaimed in his mind.

Having all the information about herbs, plants, and trees in a forest filled with buttloads of those seemed normal now.

It felt natural to know everything about an ingredient. But it was not the case with anything related to Fauna and it made Lucas feel a bit annoyed.

He had a long tooth in his hand, that seemed to be a big canine. It was yellowish with shades of white making him sure that it had been in existence for a while.

Animals had no way of taking care of their hygiene nor did they have a need to. All the teeth or fangs inside the storage were yellowish and some even had some plaque on them making Lucas finally see that the dissection skill of the shelter was not really omnipotent.

It was better and made work easy but it couldn't be called a heaven-defying skill. Even the shelter generation was pretty good and Lucas knew that he should appreciate having it more but it was still pretty normal.

Since the start, there had been no need for the barrier skill and the passive landlord till now.

After several minutes of intense effort, the tooth finally started to give way. Cracks appeared on its surface, indicating that progress was being made.

Lucas adjusted his grip on the pestle and focused on targeting the weaker areas. With a final powerful strike, the tooth shattered into smaller fragments, some of them breaking into the desired powder.

Lucas carefully collected the resulting powder, inspecting it with curiosity. It had a gritty texture and a pale yellow color.

While it wasn't a fine powder, it was still significant enough. Lucas knew he could refine the process further with practice and experimentation.

Excited by his progress, Lucas decided to move on to the next tooth. With the knowledge he gained from grinding the first tooth, he adjusted his technique.

He applied more force right from the start, honing his skills and adapting to the unique properties of the teeth.

Gradually, he developed a rhythm, alternating between gentle grinding and strong strikes until the tooth yielded to his efforts.

Lucas repeated the process with the remaining teeth, growing more proficient with each one. He began to understand the nuances of different types of teeth—their hardness, density, and brittleness. He learned how to adjust his approach accordingly, modifying his technique to achieve the desired results.

The pestle was not at all durable, it didn't even have a system telling Lucas what the durability actually was which made the possibility for Barney to fix it up for him less possible.

He went on and on until he could see that most of it was a powder, there were big chunks but he removed them from the rough yellow-whitish powder.

Lucas didn't waste the big chunks and placed them inside a cup he brought from the storage.

It was now permanent equipment of the workstation as he made John's cousin work for the shelter and getting more cups was easy and cheap.
