Gongliang, whose hearing has become better, has long known that Yuanluo ran to Xiaoshi's house, and he didn't care about it. Went to the kitchen and put water on the fire to cook the beast meat, then grabbed the giant bone placed in the corner, and planned to carry it and start exercising.

Suddenly, he looked at the hand that grabbed the giant bone with a strange expression.

He was still very difficult to run with the giant bone yesterday, how can he grab the giant bone so easily today, he can't feel the weight of yesterday, what's the matter?

Unless the purification of true qi can also increase the strength of the body, otherwise there is no way to explain this strange phenomenon. He grabbed the giant bone and swung it, barely holding it in one hand, but there was no problem in holding it with both hands. It's just that if you want to use it as a weapon, you still have to train, after all, he's never used a bone club.

Although the giant bone has become lighter, the daily exercise will continue.

It's just that he won't be able to run with the giant bone anymore, after all, it's too light to achieve the effect of exercising, and he has to find something to replace it.

When he came back from exercising, the meat of the beast in the pot was cooked, and he began to eat meat and drink soup. I don't know what's going on, but today's food has increased dramatically, and I can't eat enough after eating all the beast meat cooked in the morning. He had to cook some more until he had eaten a third of the beast's meat.

It's really strange, I haven't been able to eat like this before, why is my stomach getting bigger today. Could it be that it is also the reason for the purification of true qi, what the hell?

This time, because the hunting team hunted the beast king, the tribe specially rewarded them with half a fierce beast for each person, which was originally enough for him to eat when he stayed in the tribe. It's not enough to do this now, it seems that you have to go out hunting, or you will starve to death.

After eating and resting, he walked to Yehan's blacksmith shop.

Ye Han just happened to be carrying something on his back and was about to go out, "Ah Liang, you are here, what do you want to fight this time?"

Gongliang shook his head and said, "Don't beat things, I want to learn how to strike iron with you." ”

"Do you want to learn to strike iron?" Ye Han looked at him strangely, but it didn't matter, and said: "Iron striking is very tiring, if you really want to learn, I can teach you." But I'll have to wait a while, I'm running out of iron ore here, and I'm going to dig some back. ”

"Where to dig?" asked Gongliang.

"It's right next to our tribe. ”

"Then I'll go with you. ”

"Okay, then go over there and carry a basket and dig up some ore by the way. Ye Han was not polite, and planned to use Gongliang as free labor, and when he carried the basket, he went with him to the outside of the tribe.

"Ah Liang, you also want to go mining!" said Tao, who was guarding the gate of the village, when he saw Gongliang. As for Ye Han, he is a person who is too familiar to know him anymore, and he is not even interested in greeting.

"Hmm. Gongliang nodded.

"Be careful. ”

"Got it. ”

The iron ore is located on a hill outside the extinct volcano of Yanbe, and a black hole has been dug out of the bottom of the mountain. When Ye Han came here, he took out a torch from the basket on his back, and took out two pieces of fine iron from his bosom and struck them. After a few strokes, a few sparks burst out of the fine iron and landed on the torch, and the dry torch coated with animal oil suddenly burst into flames.

The Black Hole is a mine for wild mining stones, and there is a storage room in it, which is specially used to store some things needed for mining.

He went to the storage room and took two mining iron pickaxes and divided them between them, and then took out a beast oil torch and lit it and handed it to Gongliang, otherwise the cave would be so dark that he would not be able to walk at all.

The cave is large, but not deep, and it takes about 50 meters to get to the end.

When he reached the innermost point, Yehan stopped and began to pick up an iron pickaxe to mine. After digging out a few pieces of ore, he called Gongliang reluctant and taught him how to distinguish concentrate and miscellaneous ores in iron ore. After Gongliang understood, he didn't care and started mining stones. Gongliang also dug up with an iron pickaxe.

Mining is not difficult, with his strength, a pickaxe down, bring out a piece of ore. Stopping to pick and choose, he continued digging.

In the silence of the mine, the sound of his iron pickaxe hitting the iron ore echoed silently.

Next to him, Ye Han had been secretly observing, seeing that he was digging so fast, he was unwilling to admit defeat, and he also dug hard.

It's just that his physical strength can not be compared to Gongliang, and he was out of breath after a few strokes, and he had to stop to rest. But Gongliang, like a fierce bull, tirelessly, digging without a head or brain, and it didn't take long for him to dig a hole in the mine wall next to him.

"Knort"

Gongliang vigorously swung his iron pickaxe and dug down, and with a little more force, a piece of ore fell off the mine wall.

At that moment, he saw a, ghost, egg-shaped ore rolling down from it. When I picked it up, the egg-shaped ore was about the size of a duck's egg, and it felt very heavy, and I didn't know what it was. He took it and asked Ye Han next to him, "Ye Han, what do you think this thing is?"

Ye Han glanced at it and said enviously: "This is the iron spirit." You're lucky, it didn't take long to dig up the Iron Essence. ”

"That's... What's the use of that?"

"This is something better than iron ore, it is the essence of iron ore, and the weapons made from it are particularly hard, sharp and durable. It's just not easy to dig, I haven't dug a few for so long. After Ye Han finished speaking, he continued to bury his head in mining. Gongliang has already dug up a pile of iron ore, and although he is not as young as him, he doesn't want to lose too much.

It seems that it is still a good thing, Gongliang looked at the iron essence, put it aside first, and continued to mine.

"Knort"

He dug the iron pickaxe the mine wall, and then warped it hard, and suddenly a lot of iron ore fell off the mine wall. Suddenly, he saw what appeared to be a pile of iron essence inside. At the moment, regardless of the iron ore dug up, he hurriedly dug it up. After a while, he dug up more than 30 iron essences of all sizes.

Ye Han looked at him with a very resentful look in his eyes.

He has been digging iron ore for so many years and has not found a few iron essences, and Gongliang dug a nest the first time he came, and he didn't let people live.

Under Gongliang's hard mining, the ore that Yehan had to dig for a day was dug in the morning. Yehan began to carry the iron ore back with Gongliang, a large pile of iron ore, and the two of them carried it several times before they finished it.

Gongliang came to learn how to strike iron from Ye Han, and usually the first step in learning to strike iron is to start by pulling the wind drum, and then to learn how to smelt ore. But Gongliang will go out hunting after a while, so how can he have so much time to grind here, so he directly skips the first two items and comes to the third stage of forging iron.

Iron ore is melted into molten iron by furnace fire, and after the first cold quenching to remove impurities, it becomes a coarse piece of iron.

Forging is to return the condensed iron to the furnace to burn red, and then use a hammer to knock out the impurities inside.

Ye Han patiently taught him to beat out the impurities in the iron piece one by one, and after beating for a while, Gongliang felt that the hammer in his hand was too light, so he asked Ye Han: "Do you have a key hammer here?" ”

"It's all there, you go find it yourself. Ye Han pointed to a few hammers placed in the corner.

Gongliang walked over and tried them one by one, and felt that the biggest hammer fit best, so he picked it up. Ye Han looked at it with a strange face and said, "This... Can you use it?"

"Just right. Gongliang waved the hammer and signaled.

Ye Han didn't know what to say, this hammer was the biggest and heaviest hammer he had here. He had to use both hands to lift it up, but he didn't expect Gongliang to be able to lift it gently with one hand. Thinking of the way he was mining like drinking water, I suddenly felt that this guy was a freak.

With the sledgehammer, the impurities in the hammered iron were obviously much faster, and it didn't take long for all the iron pieces that were wild and rare to exist were forged by him.

However, this is the first time that the iron is only forged into a slightly purer iron ingot, and it will take more time and effort to forge it into steel.
