After returning to camp at dusk, Ang immediately placed the captured Rainforest Wolf into a prepared cage. The Rainforest Wolf was not very large, only about the size of an ordinary goat. On the way back, Ang had tightly bound its muzzle and limbs with rope to prevent it from struggling or attacking. Although Rainforest Wolves did not look particularly strong, they were naturally cunning, and their teeth and claws posed no small threat. As for the Demon Sealing Box, since it could only hold magical items or magic cores and could not store living creatures at all, Ang had made other preparations in advance.
After quickly settling the wolf, he hurried to the tannery and handed the Rainforest Wolf's hide to the owner, intending to have it made into a mattress. Rainforest Wolf fur was exceptionally tough and highly water-repellent, making it especially valuable in the damp environment of the rainforest. After assessing it, the owner told Ang he could come collect it tomorrow afternoon, which put Ang's mind at ease. Making full use of the Rainforest Wolf's resources, he then sold the wolf meat to a nearby restaurant for 1 Gold Wack and 23 Silver Wacks. Rainforest Wolf meat was delicious and popular with diners, so it fetched a decent price.
