I'm just a soldier, why should I fight you in a duel?

The old man was so tired that he had to wait for the old man to come to the palace.

"Ding, ding, ding!"

Wei Yuan was looking for someone in the military mansion with his men, but suddenly heard a knocking sound.

He went to the inner storehouse and saw that the door of the inner storehouse was wide open. An old man was holding a hammer and knocking something in the inner storehouse.

"Mr. Zhu!"

Wei Yuan smiled helplessly and hurried in.

"You are a little too anxious!"

"You have been traveling for several days. Why don't you take a good rest first and wait until you have enough energy before forging."

Zhu Mang waved his hand nonchalantly, looking at the demon materials on the table with a fiery look in his eyes.

"I am a blacksmith. Seeing good things naturally gives me endless energy."

He pointed to the snake scales and bones on the table.

"Wei boy, the things on these monsters are good."

"Although they are not the best among the casting materials I have seen, they are more than enough to be ranked in the middle and upper levels."

"This time, I will definitely help you forge a magic weapon."

Wei Yuan's face was full of joy.

"How is it better than the halberd that Mr. Zhu lent me?"

"Of course it is several times stronger!"

Zhu Mang laughed and raised the hammer in his hand and smashed it on the snake scales.

Countless sparks burst out from it.

"That Qinglong halberd was originally forged by me when I was young to practice. It is not a good weapon."

"Otherwise, it would not have been kept in this iron box of mine to gather dust."

Wei Yuan was startled, with a little shock on his face.

No wonder the man in front of him was so respected by Zhao Wancai.

It turns out that his weapon forging skills had reached such a level when he was young.

Wei Yuan used the Azure Dragon Halberd very smoothly.

If he had such a weapon before, he would not have to go to great lengths to ask someone to forge it again.

"That's right!"

Zhu Mang seemed to have thought of something, put down the hammer in his hand, and asked curiously.

"Where is the shell of the spider demon you mentioned?"

"Where did you hide it? Find it out and show it to me."

Wei Yuan waved his hand behind him, and the Zhang brothers walked to the depths of the inner storehouse and lifted out the spider demon body wrapped in cowhide in the corner.

Although the spider demon had absorbed most of its blood essence by the Blood Jade Heart, it still looked very scary.

The whole body was as tall as two Wei Yuans, like a small mountain.

The moment he uncovered the cowhide, Zhu Mang's eyelids trembled, picked up the hammer in his hand, and walked over quickly.

After knocking on the shiny black carapace, he looked at the damaged part of the carapace, and a little surprise appeared on his face.

He turned his head and asked Wei Yuan.

"Did you break this?"

His eyes seemed a little unbelievable.

"It's genuine!"

Wei Yuan nodded, his eyebrows slightly raised but then slowly dropped.

"But what's wrong?"

Zhu Mang did not say anything, but continued to look at the carapace.

After a few breaths,

I saw bursts of white mist coming out of his head, and the exposed skin began to turn red, just like a cooked prawn.

Then, a scorching heat wave suddenly burst out from his body.

The two Zhang brothers who were closest to him hurriedly stepped back a few steps.

Wei Yuan showed a little surprise in his expression.

He is really a hidden talent!

I didn't expect that the master who forged the evil weapon was actually a martial arts practitioner, and most importantly, his cultivation was not low.

He looked much better than Wang Quezi and the other two in the military mansion.

Sure enough, people who traveled the world had some unique skills.

The iron hammer in Zhu Mang's hand gradually turned red, as if it had just been taken out of the casting furnace.

You could vaguely see iron slurry flowing on the surface of the hammer, but for some reason it just didn't drip down.

As the temperature in the inner storehouse got higher and higher, a lot of sweat appeared on the faces of several people, and Zhu Mang's eyes became more focused.

Suddenly, he took a deep breath, raised the iron hammer in his hand and smashed it on the shell.

"Boom!"

The heat wave turned into circles of visible rings that slowly spread from the lower hammer, like throwing a stone into a calm pool of water.

But the shell did not change at all.

Zhu Mang's eyes condensed, and a reddish turbid air spit out of his mouth, and he raised the hammer and smashed it again.

He hammered faster and faster, and Wei Yuan and the other two could not even see the shape of the hammer.

After a long time,

under Zhu Mang's "bombardment", the state of the shell finally changed, turning into a pool of "iron juice"

"Liquid.

Zhu Mang grinned, his right hand holding the hammer was still smashing, while his empty left hand hooked behind him.

There was a clanging sound in the iron box, and a silver metal gourd swayed and fell into his hand.

He hurriedly stopped his action, and then carefully put the pool of "iron juice" into the gourd.

The Zhang brothers stared at the scene in front of them in amazement, and they were speechless for a while.

The two of them had also tested the hardness of the shell, but unfortunately, even if the two Even if people use all their strength at the same time, they can only leave a small white mark on it.

Who would have thought that the old man in front of him could actually turn it into liquid with one hammer after another.

Really...

Old but still strong.

Zhu Mang put the gourd to his ear and shook it. Listening to the sound of liquid coming from inside, he couldn't help showing a satisfied smile on his old face.

Wei Yuan walked to the shell, looked at the gourd in Zhu Mang's hand, and clasped his fists.

"Mr. Zhu's casting technique is really amazing. It really opened my eyes. I really admire it."

Zhu Mang threw the gourd back into the iron box, rolled his eyes at Wei Yuan, and joked.

"Are you kidding me?"

"It took me a long time to melt this small piece, but you can tear it apart with a weapon."

"How can I compare with you, Mr. Zhu, you have been tempered by thousands of hammers and never take shortcuts."

"I am just lucky! "

Wei Yuan smiled embarrassedly.

Hearing this, Zhu Mang's complexion suddenly improved a lot, and even his breathing gradually became less heavy.

He sighed, and began to look at Wei Yuan with a trace of admiration.

"You have such strength at such a young age. I didn't expect that in this remote place like Lin'an, there could be a military strategist as powerful as you, Wei boy."

"It's really amazing."

"Thank you, Mr. Zhu!"

"I wonder if this shell can be regarded as a top-grade material?"

Zhu Mang thought for a while and shook his head with some regret.

"I'm afraid it's not enough. At most, it can only be between the top and the best."

He covered the shell with his big hand and rubbed it carefully.

"Although the hardness of this thing is comparable to that of a hundred-year-old black iron, its toughness is much worse."

"If it is used to make weapons, it is not as good as your snake scales and snake bones. "

Wei Yuan nodded with some regret.

"But..."

Zhu Mang changed the subject.

"If this thing can be used to make armor and shields, it would be an excellent choice."

"Boy."

"Do you want me to remake your armor?"

"The price is negotiable, but you have to help me swing the hammer, otherwise I am afraid that my old arms and legs will not be able to bear it."

Zhu Mang looked at Wei Yuan with a smile on his face. Although he was happy to see the prey, he had to accept the money.

"Deal!"

Wei Yuan answered without hesitation.

"But, can the person swinging the hammer be replaced?"

"What do you mean?"

"Other people don't have as much strength as you, so they can't dissolve the shell of this demon."

"Master!"

Suddenly, Wu Tiande ran in from the door with a silly smile on his face.

"Junior brothers have repaired the wall and steps! "

Wei Yuan and the other man looked at each other and laughed at the same time.
