Chapter 56: Nothing is Unswallowable
Restoring the Nine Calamity Sword seemed like an easy problem at first. But now, after tens of thousands of years, it's not as simple, boss. Perhaps it was easy tens of thousands of years ago, when those materials were everywhere, but do you know how hard they are to find now?
Isn’t this just torture?
“Hey, I want to eat!” The man suddenly called out again, but this time his tone was much softer: “Even captives need to eat, right? You can’t just leave me starving, can you? I am…”
“Shut up!” Chu Yang was extremely displeased and suddenly grabbed his collar, gritting his teeth and saying fiercely, “Don’t think I’m really afraid to kill you! I don’t kill you only because you still have a bit of use... But if you wear out my patience… cutting off your head wouldn’t be difficult!”
“Don’t think I’m afraid of death…” the man shouted angrily, but seeing the sinister light in Chu Yang's eyes, he suddenly shivered and stopped speaking.
Goodness, this guy is a demon! As the saying goes, a good man doesn’t suffer a loss in front of him.
Chu Yang stood up and walked to the campfire, casually chopping off a horse's hind leg. He skewered it on two arrows stuck in the ground and placed it on the fire to roast.
The flames flickered, casting eerie shadows on Chu Yang’s face.
“Puh.” Chu Yang tossed the roasted horse leg in front of the masked man and said, “Eat.”
“The horse meat is too sour; I want beef!” The man shouted angrily.
“Beef? You look more like horse meat to me!” Chu Yang scoffed, “Eat it or not!” He turned and walked away.
The man was choked with anger, almost about to pass out! Looking at the horse meat in his hands, he really wanted to throw that dark lump on the ground. But he knew very well that if he really did that, he would definitely go hungry.
This guy wouldn’t show any mercy!
Sighing, he bit hard into the horse leg, chewing vigorously. The sound of his teeth crunching against the meat echoed, as if he was not chewing horse meat, but rather the guy named 'Chu Yang'...
Meanwhile, Chu Yang was busy collecting the arrows on the ground. He wanted to clear a space to set up a tent and get a good sleep.
However, after picking up a few arrows, he suddenly revealed a strange expression with his back turned to the man. Then he took out the tent and surprisingly did not clean up the arrows, but instead chose the area with the densest arrows to pitch his tent.
This left everyone feeling quite baffled.
Inside the tent, Chu Yang was shocked to an unbelievable extent.
Because he discovered that while he was collecting those abandoned arrows, the tip of the Nine Calamity Sword within his body suddenly reacted sharply.
At that moment, the sword tip traveled along his meridians to his fingers. The instant it touched the arrows, with a soft “pop,” the arrow in Chu Yang's hand turned into dust!
Yes, dust! It was directly reduced to powder!
These were arrows made of high-quality steel!
Such arrows had the strongest lethality and the longest shooting distance because their entire front half was made of high-quality steel! The back half was made of excellent ironwood, and only the tail end maintained the balance with the arrow fletchings.
Upon Chu Yang's contact, that high-quality steel silently crumbled into powder.
How could Chu Yang not be astonished?
Finally setting up the tent, Chu Yang dove inside. Looking at the densely packed arrows on the ground, he widened his eyes and tried to touch one with his finger again…
Sure enough, the tip of the Nine Calamity Sword on his fingertip suddenly emitted a strong pulling force, and immediately a tiny bit of shiny iron shavings appeared on his fingertip, while that half steel arrow turned to dust!
What is going on?
I’ve never heard that the Nine Calamity Sword had this function. Chu Yang stared wide-eyed.
When all the high-quality steel arrows in the tent had turned to dust, the iron shavings in Chu Yang's hand had already formed into a ball the size of a fingertip.
