Chapter 809

Cold Star

About ten people were gathered in the yard outside the forging room.

Gongjia Ren walked out, a knife with a cold glint in his hand.

This cold glint was not just light reflected off regular metal. The ‘coldness’ could be truly felt in one’s heart, that the blade was truly dangerous.

Meeting the blade was like standing before an icy mountain peak.

Gongjia Ren was shirtless, drenched in sweat. Due to the high temperatures within the forging room, it was normal to be drenched in sweat. However, the few other Gongjia people who left together with Gongjia Ren felt both hot with excitement and chilled by the blade. The clash of ice and fire. Their faces were red from emotion, contradictory to the cold sweat dripping down their faces.

They still recalled the chill they felt while hammering the blade. They inhaled scorching air through their nostrils but a chill dug deep into their bones. After leaving the room, every muscle still trembled from both exhaustion and the chills.

When they thought about how the material morphed with every hammer until the final look, an infinite sense of gratitude rose within them, their fatigue forgotten.

This was the best metal ware they had made to this day! Their instincts told them even before the blade was finished.

It was different from the rest.

New green bronze was made from bronze and green-faced fanged beast blood while this knife was made from crystal core and the star butterfly larvae blood.

Before this, Gongjia Ren and the rest did many experiments. In the beginning they followed the green-bronze making procedures to test the material ratios. Due to limited worm blood, they were as frugal as possible during each test. Right now, they finally found the best combination ratio.

The knife made from crystal core and star butterfly larvae blood was much better than bronze wares!

Why were they so emotional?

The Gongjia ancestor who discovered star butterfly larvae blood only made his wares using bronze while they had the opportunity to merge both worm blood and crystal core!

A breeze blew past and a murderous buzzing came from the blade, so eerie the hairs on their necks stood on end. They retracted their necks as if a snowy winter breeze had blown past.

Taking a deep breath, Gongjia Ren walked to the Flaming Horns with the knife in both hands, then passed it to Shao Xuan.

“Let’s test the blade.” Gongjia Ren’s eyes shone with anticipation.

Shao Xuan looked at the blade in his hand. They made it according to the previous knife he made, though one finger’s width wider so it was almost as wide as a grown warrior’s palm.

The knife was silver-white and bore no patterns, quite heavy- much heavier than the previous knife made of crystal core. It was not suited for other tribes but this weight was good for the Flaming Horns to hunt with.

When he turned the blade, it reflected the sunlight coldly, causing the surrounding crowd to squint.

Usually, they started with mid-grade rocks but this time, Gongjia Ren tossed a top-grade rock for the test.

With a blinding flash of light and a crisp thud, the rock was split into two, the cross section clean and smooth. The slash was unhindered and the blade did not dent.

The crowd drew in a sharp breath, then cheered.

“Awesome!”

“That’s a good knife!”

“Shao Xuan, can you do what you did in the desert with this knife?” asked Gui He.

When Shao Xuan was in the desert, he set his knife ablaze with blood. It was very useful against reanimated corpses.

However, Shao Xuan shook his head. “No.”

There was a feeling of explosive violence within new green bronze while crystal core gave a sense of sharpness. Although this blade also had violence hidden within, it was on the other end of the spectrum- like the violence of a winter storm. This blade contained star butterfly larvae blood so human blood had no effect on it.
