Chapter 274: Hope for the Upgrade of the Great Destroyer Sword, Free Miners (1)
“Is this… blood silver?” Shi Songtao held a fist-sized stone in his hand and studied it against the sun for a long time. He gasped.
“Blood silver? What is that?” Yin Wuyou wondered.
She had a very strange feeling in her heart now.
Before coming to the Ten Nations Martial Arts Tournament, she had heard a lot about how vicious the enemies were and how dangerous it was for humans.
But now…
!!
She glanced at the demonic beasts digging for stones. You call this dangerous?
“Look, Your Highness. There are silver threads inside this stone. Doesn’t it look like streaks of blood?” Shi Songtao handed the stone in his hand to Yin Wuyou.
“This blood silver is a very rare forging material. When forging, if some blood silver is mixed in, it can make the fusion of various forging materials more smooth and harmonious,” Shi Songtao explained.
“You could say that the blood-like streaks in the blood silver are capable of adhering to forging materials. When you use it, the weapon seems to contain blood…”
Shi Songtao said a lot, but Yin Wuyou only heard one word: Rare!
As the grand minister of the Forging Division, she had never heard of this material.
This meant that the Forging Division had never purchased this material on a large scale.
This could also partly explain the rarity of this material.
How could the Forging Division not purchase such a useful forging material on a large scale if it was possible?
Shi Songtao continued, “As far as I know, in the ten nations, there’s only a small blood silver mine in Great Wei. The blood silver produced every year is only a few thousand kilograms.”
In a sense, blood silver was even rarer than Heaven Refining Stone.
However, Heaven Refining Stones were necessary for forging ranked weapons. As long as people forged ranked weapons, they would need Heaven Refining Stones.
As for blood silver, it was the icing on the cake. It was good to have it, but it didn’t affect anything.
Heaven Refining Stone was a must, and blood silver was a luxury.
It was much more expensive on the black market than Heaven Refining Stone.
The reason why it was a black market was that other than the black market, it was impossible to buy blood silver anywhere else!
Great Wei didn’t even have enough blood silver to use every year, so how could it export any?
Shi Songtao’s eyes lit up as he looked at the demonic beasts digging diligently.
If this was a blood silver mine, he would be rich.
“Our Great Xia will occasionally have blood silver flowing in from the black market. Every piece is sold at a sky-high price!” Shi Songtao’s voice was trembling.
Hundreds of demonic beasts had transformed into miners because their leader was being held hostage by Zhou Shu.
The demonic beasts were huge to begin with, and they were powerful. With a swipe of their claws, they dug out a large piece of earth and rock. Their efficiency was comparable to large excavators…
It hadn’t been long, but there was already a lot of blood silver on the ground.
Shi Songtao’s breathing quickened. Needless to say, the value of blood silver here was inestimable.
“We’re lucky.” Zhou Shu smiled. “I didn’t expect there to really be forging materials in this s.p.a.ce.
“I have you to thank for that.” Zhou Shu patted the humanoid demonic beast’s cheek.
He still didn’t know the name of this humanoid demonic beast.
This humanoid demonic beast was grabbed by Zhou Shu, and his eyes were br.i.m.m.i.n.g with hatred. He could no longer be bothered with Zhou Shu. He only hoped that the Demon Realm experts could discover this place as soon as possible and rescue them.
Although he didn’t understand what the humans were saying, he knew that the humans had forced them to dig for rocks. For them to do so, these rocks had to be useful to them.
What was useful to the enemy had to be destroyed if it couldn’t be s.n.a.t.c.hed away.
He was already thinking that if the experts on his side arrived, he would definitely take all these rocks away before he left!
Zhou Shu didn’t know what the humanoid demonic beast was thinking. Even if he did, he wouldn’t care.
It was impossible to take away something that was already in his pocket.
“There seems to be a lot of blood silver here. Think about what you can do to take it all away,” Zhou Shu said with a smile.
What could be better than taking a hostage and then reaping hundreds of hardworking free miners?
He was in a rather good mood now. The injuries he had suffered when he tried the divine ability previously no longer affected his mood.
Previously, a huge pit had been created by the humanoid demonic beast. At first, Zhou Shu thought that his eyes were playing tricks on him. Later, he confirmed that the ores that appeared in the pit were indeed blood silver.
He was also a little surprised. Before coming to the Ten Nations Martial Arts Tournament, Meng Bai had told him that there would be forging materials in this s.p.a.ce.
But how could ordinary forging materials compare to blood silver?
Among the forging materials knowledge from the Seven Star Dragon Abyss Sword, one of the materials was blood silver.
Zhou Shu knew more about the characteristics of blood silver than Shi Songtao did. He knew something that Shi Songtao didn’t.
Blood silver was an indispensable forging material for upgrading weapons!
Weapons were like humans. Once they were born, their natural endowments were already determined, and it was extremely difficult to change them in the future.
Although weapons could theoretically be upgraded, the difficulty of it was impossible to describe in words.
For the past thousand years, there had been no clear records of weapons being upgraded!
Weapons could be upgraded almost exclusively in theory.
But Zhou Shu knew that weapons could really be upgraded.
And this blood silver was a necessary material for upgrading weapons.
Those idiots from Great Wei only treated blood silver as a catalyst to increase the power of their weapons. That was a waste!
