Compared to monsters like the Great Boar King and the Beaver Beast, the meat on the Great Monster Bird is pitifully scarce. However, some of the materials from the Great Monster Bird are unique and can play a different role in crafting equipment.

For example, the Firebag.

Since Wenlong entered this world, this is the first material that can produce a flame effect. The Great Monster Bird can spit fireballs thanks to this. Wenlong knows that if this material is used on offensive weapons, it can add fire damage to the weapon.

"Looks like crafting a set of Great Monster Bird gear will allow us to use fire-attribute weapons in the future. When dealing with monsters weak to fire, it will definitely have a good effect, meow!"

Of course, besides the Firebag, many other materials from the Great Monster Bird have considerable utility value. For example, the Monster Bird's Claw, the Monster Bird's Scale, the Monster Bird's Beak, and the Monster Bird's Wing, etc. These materials were dissected by Wenlong and Catherine with their hunter knives and then placed in a large bag made from the Monster Bird's skin.

Before long, with the cooperation and division of labor between Wenlong and Catherine, the task of extracting materials from the Great Monster Bird was completed.

"There are still two things to do: one is to find the Dye Fruit and the Sticky Grass, and the other is to find the Wild Mountain Beehive... Hey, clumsy woman, you're responsible for finding the Dye Fruit and the Sticky Grass. Oh, and if you see any herbs on the way, pick them up as well, meow."

"Eh, Mr. Cat, I don't know what Dye Fruit and Sticky Grass look like yet," Catherine said. She had seen herbs before and could identify them, but she had never seen Sticky Grass or Dye Fruit.

"It's easy to distinguish, remember this," Wenlong said. "Sticky Grass is a grayish-white herb with many fine hairs. There aren't many grayish-white plants, and if you're unsure, you can try touching it with your clothes. If it sticks to your clothes and is hard to remove, then it's definitely Sticky Grass, meow."

"As for the Dye Fruit, it grows on low shrubs and is a rare pink color in nature. If you put your nose close to it, you can smell a strong odor, so it should be easy to identify."

"I understand, Mr. Cat," Catherine said.

"Then hurry up and get to it. I still need to find the Wild Mountain Beehive, meow."

Thus, Wenlong and Catherine began to act separately.

In the past, Wenlong wouldn't dare to act separately from Catherine. At that time, Catherine had no experience and poor mental fortitude, so Wenlong was very worried that she might encounter danger.

But now, there's no such concern. After all, Catherine has reached a level where she can hunt the Great Monster Bird alone, and there's nothing in this area that can threaten her. Therefore, Wenlong naturally chose the more efficient method of acting separately.

"I remember that the Great Monster Bird, being an omnivorous bird dragon, also likes to eat honey, especially during the breeding season. It often swallows entire beehives with its large beak. If that's the case, there should be a Wild Mountain Beehive not far from where the Great Monster Bird resides..."

Since Wenlong has a good understanding of the Great Monster Bird's habits, he started his search for the Wild Mountain Beehive centered around the Great Monster Bird's habitat, a large cave.

Sure enough, it didn't take long for Wenlong to find a huge beehive hanging from a tree, surrounded by a large number of Wild Mountain Bees flying around.

Unlike the previous method of smoking the beehive and then destroying it to get honey, this time Wenlong's goal was to obtain the Wild Mountain Bees that produce honey, so his approach was different.

First, Wenlong wrapped the parts of his body not protected by armor, including his eyes, with the gauze he bought in Mirard Village. Although his eyes were covered, the gauze had just the right size of gaps to allow him to see the outside without completely blocking his vision, and it was much smaller than the body of a Wild Mountain Bee, preventing them from stinging him.

Once everything was ready, Wenlong approached the Wild Mountain Beehive with a thick, large bag. As Wenlong got closer, the Wild Mountain Bees clearly noticed his presence, and some of them began to circle around him, preparing to attack.

Wenlong ignored these attacking worker bees, occasionally swatting away those that flew in front of him. Since his entire body was wrapped up, he didn't have to worry about the Wild Mountain Bees hurting him.

Thus, with almost no obstacles, Wenlong walked to the base of the tree and began to climb up, trying to get closer to the large beehive. While climbing, Wenlong moved as quietly as possible to avoid provoking the highly aggressive Wild Mountain Bees.

Fortunately, as an Ailu cat, Wenlong is a skilled climber. He easily climbed to the branch where the beehive was located. At this point, Wenlong opened the thick cloth bag in his hand and suddenly covered the entire beehive!

"Got them all! Meow!" Because Wenlong's movements were very quick, only a few Wild Mountain Bees remained outside the bag. These bees desperately attacked Wenlong, trying to drive away the invader who was trying to take their beehive, but to no avail.

After covering the beehive, Wenlong quickly tied the bag's opening with a rope. Looking around, he saw that only a few Wild Mountain Bees had not been caught, which made him very happy.

"Great, most of the Wild Mountain Bees are in the bag with the beehive. The fewer losses, the more honey production can be preserved, meow!"

With this in mind, Wenlong climbed down the tree trunk rather than jumping from the not-too-high branch, to avoid accidentally injuring the Wild Mountain Bees inside, which could affect honey production.

After all, Wenlong knew how important honey is! As a material, it can be used in the preparation of many potions and is a highly useful and heavily consumed resource in the world of Monster Hunters. In a sense, ensuring a high-quality honey yield means ensuring the production of valuable drugs like Healing Medicine G, Power Potion, Demon Drug, and Hardening Medicine. Because honey has such a wide range of uses, Wenlong naturally treated it with great care, fearing that he might accidentally kill these precious Wild Mountain Bees.

After landing, Wenlong looked at the bag in his hand and felt relieved when he heard the Wild Mountain Bees still buzzing vigorously inside.
