Volume 4 copy Chapter 5: Corpse Poison Dagger (Part 1)
"Huh?!" After hearing what I said, the two guys who were about to fight each other again stopped at the same time and looked at me in surprise as I rummaged through my backpack.
"Found it!" Not long after, I cheered and took out something that I had kept for a long time.
It was a huge tooth, with an extremely sharp tip and strong enough to leave deep scratches on a solid iron shield. Yes, this was the tooth I had pulled out of the mouth of the mad dog Caplan.
When I took this tooth, it was only because I was shocked by its danger and wanted to keep it as a souvenir. It was not until just now that I suddenly remembered that it seemed to be just the right size for a dagger. If such a sharp monster tooth could be made into a weapon, it might really produce some unexpected special effects.
Seeing this thing I brought out, Chang Sanjiao was surprised and delighted. He immediately rushed over to take it in his hands, looking at it over and over again, and couldn't let it go. After a moment, he asked me hesitantly:
"Jeff, are you really willing to give me this?"
"It's useless for me to keep it, and it just takes up space in my backpack."
The sturdy half-orc wanderer bit his lip and said, "I can't take this thing for free. Name your price."
I have to say, his current attitude makes me feel a little lost.
In fact, I envy the relationship between him and Changgong Sheri, as well as Xian Ge Yayi and Feiyin. They are always bickering, teasing, fooling around, fighting, and even joking with each other in dangerous battles. Just like Chang Sanjiao and Changgong Sheri, one of them caused the other to die in vain, and the other lost all his money. Although the two of them fought for it, everyone knew that it was not serious. This is a truly close relationship. No one will feel sorry for the other because there is no need.
When they are together, they can be as unrestrained as they treat themselves, laughing and scolding, not minding each other's actions, and not having to consider each other's feelings. This seems to be a kind of innocence, like a child's play.
However, the seriousness of the Yangtze River Delta now tells me that I am not among them.
"Forget it. Even if I empty your wallet, you only have a few coppers. Don't pretend to be generous..." I used a joke to cover up my slight disappointment, shook the sword in my hand and continued: "Don't forget, this sword was given to me by you."
Chang Sanjiao looked at me with a complicated expression, then looked at the rabies tooth in my hand, and finally reached out to take it. When he took the tooth, he said nothing, but just patted his belly with a silly smile, made an ugly face at me, and then ran back to Chang Gong She Ri happily, shouting: "Hey, you take a look at this thing. Let me make a deal first, if you break it, you have to treat me to a boiled fish meal tomorrow..."
To be honest, I was really afraid that he would thank me repeatedly after receiving the fang, which would have made me feel very embarrassed. His behavior now really made me feel much more comfortable.
Although he was still arguing with Chang Sanjiao, I could see that Chang Gong Sheri was much more cautious and careful this time than the first time he made his own staff. He carefully polished the animal tooth, not only keeping its sharp thorn tip intact, but also grinding the inner side of the tooth arc to create a smooth and delicate edge. When a ray of dangerous light slid across the edge, my intuition told me that this time, the weapon maker's attempt would definitely be a huge success.
After the success of the nunchaku, Krado and Black Aurora became more interested in weapon making. They stood aside quietly, watching the dwarf priest's design, not feeling anxious at all.
In order to match the handle of this animal tooth blade, Changgong Sheri spent a lot of effort. He actually selected a complete set of metacarpal bones and phalanges from the pile of bones, carefully pieced them together into the shape of an outstretched hand, and let Chang Sanjiao hold it himself to test it. After confirming that the size was appropriate, he embedded the tooth blade into the wrist bone of the bone hand. After another brilliant flash, Chang Sanjiao's new weapon was finally completed.
We all knew that this would be an extraordinary weapon, but after seeing its properties, everyone couldn't help but exclaim in surprise:
“Wow…”
88 points of damage bonus and 19 agility bonus, these two items alone are enough to make the Yangtze River Delta proud and reborn, and these are just the basic attributes of this dagger.
Rabid Hound Kaplan is a magical beast known for its speed. Its magic crystal has turned the slow-moving Niu Baiwan into a powerful fighter, and the dagger made of its teeth also adds an extra ability in terms of speed: it has a 30% chance of causing damage twice with one hit, which means that the Yangtze River Delta has increased its damage by almost one third.
Perhaps it was because the dagger was made entirely of the bones of living creatures, but it also added 99 points of vitality to Chang Sanjiao. For a wanderer whose defense was not very strong, this could save Chang Sanjiao's life in many cases.
In addition to these, this dagger also comes with a skill that makes people laugh and cry: it has a chance to release corpse poison once every fifteen minutes, causing at least 20 points of damage per second to the enemy for thirty seconds. But because the corpse poison comes from the bones made into the handle, which is closer to the dagger user, the user will be poisoned twice as much as the enemy. According to this value, once this skill is activated, it will not take thirty seconds at all. In about fifteen seconds, the Yangtze River Delta will be poisoned to death by its own dagger.
The name of this "Corpse Poison Dagger" probably comes from this.
"This is safer than drinking poison directly. At least there is no need to worry about the shelf life..." Regarding this skill, the Orc Wanderer showed his unique optimism.
"This is more humane than jumping off a building, and it also leaves time for saying one's last words..." For his masterpiece, Changgong Sheri spared no effort to find its advantages that are rarely known to others.
"This is more beautiful than cutting your own neck. People who are afraid of blood will definitely like it..." I feel like I should say something at this time.
"This dagger can be used up to level 50 at least." If its basic attributes were not particularly high, Chang Sanjiao's guess would probably be even higher. Even so, his estimate was already relatively conservative.
“Not only that, when the manufacturer’s level reaches a high level, he can also upgrade the weapons…” Changgong Sheri’s words were filled with unconcealable pride.
According to Changgong Sheri, the various properties of a weapon are closely related to the raw materials used, and the properties of the raw materials can largely determine the properties of the final weapon. A weapon maker can choose the raw materials according to his own wishes, but there is a lot of chance in what kind of finished product he can make, which is not completely under his control. The two weapons just made are of excellent quality, which is due to two important factors: first, the selection of good raw materials, and second, it has to be attributed to his uncanny luck at the time - and the latter is the decisive factor.
Soon, we witnessed the weapon maker’s unreliable success rate: after completing the top-quality dagger, Chang Gong She Ri fiddled with the pile of petrified bones for a long time. Perhaps the two successful works had exhausted all his luck. After scrapping all the remaining bone materials, he only completed a "simple bone staff" - the birth of this extraordinary weapon also has an unusual legendary color: Chang Gong She Ri just took a piece of broken bone about one finger long, wiped it with a rag, and just as he chiseled a hole in it, we saw a familiar flash of light, and the bone staff was declared completed.
I have to say that this is really an "extremely crude" bone staff. All its attributes are "increases physical attack strength by 0.02 points." Honestly, this may be the only equipment I have the opportunity to see in my life that uses two decimal places to describe attribute bonuses. In this sense, its collection value even exceeds all the world-destroying artifacts. It can be called an unparalleled unique piece and is fully qualified to be recorded in history as a miracle.
Unfortunately, less than three seconds after this unique piece was created, its creator threw it into a coffin without any nostalgia , and then covered it with a thick stone slab, as if afraid that it would grow legs and run out and be seen by people.
