Gao Dashang looked up at the statue, then flew up and stood on the statue.
"Sir, although there are hundreds of mermaid scales, only the ones at the back can be used, which is just over a hundred. The ones on the abdomen can be used to make several pieces of armor."
Ximen Hao looked at the back of the statue. The light blue scales on it were about the size of a palm, and they only stretched from the neck to the back.
The rest of the body is covered with tiny soft armor, like snake skin.
"Sir, let me take off the shark's skin first so that it can be easier to take."
Gao Dashang said, standing on top of the statue, and then took out a sharp dagger.
Starting from the forehead, along the soft abdomen, the statue was disemboweled.
As the dagger tore open the shark's skin, and with a strong pull, the entire skin fell off, revealing the huge bronze statue inside.
"Fortunately, this shark has been dead for many years, otherwise it would be really difficult to open. But it's a pity. Except for the scales on the back, the rest of it has probably lost its essence."
Gao Dashang looked at the shark skin at his feet with regret, even though it was a shark skin from the Tribulation Stage.
But after so many years, it will still get damaged a little bit.
"Uncle Gao, take off the scales. The rest is yours."
Ximen Hao said, waving his hand to put the bronze statue away, his eyelids twitching again as he looked at it.
But that was someone's secret, so I didn't want to ask any more questions, so I quickly started to remove the scales.
There are a total of 108 usable scales on the back of the shark skin. Tall and Strong removed all of them. This is the only usable part of the shark skin.
"Sir, you've finished taking it. Please keep this skin. I don't want to cause any trouble."
Gaolichi will continue to hang out in the Japanese country from now on. If he is discovered, it will be terrible.
Ximen Hao didn't say anything. He waved his hand to collect the shark skin and threw it in the corner of the space. Xiang Xiang would put it back when he had time.
Gao Lidi took eighty-one scales and collected the rest, which was regarded as this reward.
Then he melted the scales himself, while Wang Tianba continued to forge the flying sword.
Ximen Haoyu returned to the chair, crossed his legs, held the wine bottle, and drank leisurely.
Ji Mengmeng, holding her chin in her hands, sat next to Ximen Hao and looked at him curiously.
The most miserable person was Zhao Yunlong. He used his two hands to pull the bellows. Coupled with the scorching heat, sweat gradually broke out on his forehead.
The scales of a shark are very hard and are the essence of a shark, let alone a shark in the tribulation stage.
It took Gao Lidi a whole night to melt eighty-one scales.
Then the essence was refined and turned into a blue ball of light the size of a walnut, like a large drop of water.
"Alas! Young Master, I don't know what grade this weapon of yours is, but the craftsmanship is all based on the essence, and it will be amazing when it is completed! What a pity! Those refined things cannot be preserved, otherwise we would be able to create a few good ones.
weapons!"
He stood tall and looked at the blue light group in the vessel, feeling regretful for a while.
"Ah? Oh! What did you say?"
Ximen Hao opened his eyes in a daze. Unexpectedly, he fell asleep amidst the sound of knocking.
As for Ji Mengmeng, she had already gone to practice, and only the hard-working Zhao Yunlong was still pulling the bellows.
He smiled proudly and said nothing because he didn't have time to chat with Ximen Hao now.
"Sir, please give me the blood of Yamata no Orochi."
Ximen Hao quickly stood up and handed over the bottle containing blood.
Gao Lili took out a rectangular trough and put the essence of the shark's scales inside.
After doing all this, he looked at Ximen Hao solemnly and said:
"Sir, using the blood of Yamata no Orochi is a helpless move. If it fails, I hope you won't be offended. And according to the craftsmanship, there is a failure rate in the final process of this sword."
Of course Ximen Hao knows, because he has watched it several times because of the craftsmanship.
"Uncle Gao, life and death are determined by fate and wealth. I believe in my luck."
"good!"
Gao Li nodded, then pointed to the trough and said:
"Pour the blood in. This last step is to temper it with the essence of the scales and blood."
Ximen Hao took a deep breath, opened the bottle cap, and slowly poured in the blood of Yamata no Orochi.
As the blood flowed, the blue light group began to melt and merged with the blood, turning the originally scarlet liquid into blue.
After all the blood was poured in, the blue light group had completely melted, turning the blood into a deep blue color, shimmering with strange fluctuations.
Gao Lidi finally breathed a sigh of relief:
"Sir, once it's fused, it depends on the effect of tempering. Tianba, that's enough, it's almost done. Let's start shaping it now."
With that said, he walked to the forging table.
Wang Tianba put away the sledgehammer, wiped his sweat, and stood aside.
"Master Zhao, please stop too."
"Phew...so exhausted!"
Zhao Yunlong shook his sore arms and had to admire those dwarfs in his heart.
Although he is small, his endurance is very strong.
"Uncle Gao, does the shape need polishing?"
Ximen Hao was a layman when it came to forging weapons, and he didn't pay much attention to the lectures at Tiandu Academy.
"Haha, that's a regular forging. This sword has certain craftsmanship requirements. To be honest, I learned a lot from this forging. But judging from the method, it is probably tailor-made for the young master. I guess in the future
There is no chance to build it again.”
As a senior dwarf, Gao Lidi, the weapon created by such a strange and novel forging process cannot be divided into categories at all, because it is an extremely special weapon.
He has studied the craft countless times, and now that he has used it, he still doesn't know what this sword is used for. You can imagine how special it is.
"Okay, I'm going to get started. After shaping, I have to carve out the talisman array. This is a delicate job, and there is no room for sloppiness. If you make a mistake in the symbol, the sword will be useless."
He held up a small golden handleless sword, spread his hands, and a small hammer appeared in his hand.
Ximen Hao and others all hid aside, and no one dared to disturb them.
Wang Tianba, on the other hand, went to the exit of the workshop and hall by himself and blocked the door to prevent others from breaking in.
Holding a small hammer upright, start tapping rhythmically, sometimes faster and sometimes slower, sometimes on the head, sometimes on the middle, and sometimes on the tail.
One moment the sword blade, another moment the blade, striking evenly.
I saw that the little sword became smoother and sharper little by little, and it was really dazzling.
The blood of Yamata no Orochi and the essence of the shark's scales are still slowly merging, becoming one piece by piece.
Everyone dared not show off their enthusiasm, staring at Gao Lidi's every move, as if they were appreciating art.
I don’t know how long it took, one hour? Or two hours?
It wasn't until the small sword took shape, without any flaws, and was smooth and sharp that Gao Lidi stopped.
Then he threw away the clip, picked up the small sword with his hand, and took out a hard and sharp carving knife. A ball of light lit up his hand.
