Hulk had Quick-Legs Tom find a sturdy wooden cart in the village and harness it to the Land Bird.
Everyone worked together to load the materials they had collected, including the boars' thick hides, tusks, and hearts.
As for the large boar carcasses that were no longer worth anything, they dug a deep pit and buried them on the spot to prevent an outbreak of disease.
There were a few smaller boars left whose meat was still fairly tender, but it was clearly impractical to haul them back on the Land Bird.
"Honored adventurers," Quick-Legs Tom said, rubbing his hands together as he approached, eyes shining. "If you trust me, why not sell me the remaining boars?"
Hulk pondered for a moment, then named a fair price. "If you want them, twenty Silver Scales each."
Quick-Legs Tom quickly did the math. If he butchered the boars and resold the meat, he would definitely make a profit at that price.
But he couldn't afford to buy them all by himself, so he turned to the villagers who had come to help and called out, "I can't buy this many on my own. Anyone who wants one can pool their money with me at this price. I'll ask around the rest of the village about whatever's left!"
