Chapter 387: Hammer
Because Bai Ze was too anxious about the rapid heating up of the hammer-shaped mold, he didn't have time to pay attention to Shangguan Bingxue.
If the mold is burned, the gold cut will fall to the ground, and the damage is immeasurable!
Not only will more than seven hours of hard work be wasted, but a precious piece of second-order metal will be lost! Bai Ze was absolutely unwilling to bear such a big loss, so the appearance of Shangguan Bingxue was undoubtedly a savior for him.
Shangguan Bingxue was a little at a loss for a while. I don't know why Bai Ze didn't have the usual indifference when he pulled his own hands.
"Bingxue, help me!" Bai Ze hurriedly urged.
"Save you?" She still looked at Bai Ze blankly.
"Quick! Use your skills to freeze it! Bai Ze didn't explain much, and the mold began to deform faster and faster.
If you don't hurry, even if you can control the heat in the end, the shape of the hammer will be distorted to the point of being completely useless!
Shangguan Bingxue quickly calmed down, and looking at the place Bai Ze pointed, she immediately understood the situation in front of her.
Shangguan Bingxue sighed, then stretched his hands forward, sending a wave of mana towards a rune in his soul.
The second-order ice-making skill activated, and the mist condensed in her hand spread forward. In an instant, the white and blue mist swirled up, enveloping the hammer-shaped mold in the blink of an eye.
"Frozen." She said in a distinctively cold voice.
The mist seemed to be still for a moment, and the next moment, it turned into light.
"Whew......" Bai Ze couldn't help but gasp when he saw the ice cubes on the table.
However, although his biggest worry has not yet happened, Bai Ze knows that the matter is not over yet.
Inside the hammer-shaped mold, the yellow molten water was still burning violently, as if it was about to break free from the imprisoned ice.
"What's going on with this molten water?" Shangguan Bingxue asked in surprise.
Although the sealed molten water could not break free from the shackles of the ice-making skill, to her surprise, it did not turn into a pile of ice. Obviously, it was not a molten liquid made from ordinary metal.
"Do you remember the second-order metal I showed you earlier?" Bai Ze looked at her with a smile.
"You're talking about the kind of thing called gold slashing?" Shangguan Bingxue frowned slightly, a little uncertain.
Bai Ze nodded and continued, "I'm trying to forge a new forging hammer, because the ordinary hammer I use now may be difficult to shape this rare metal. ”
Even if Bai Ze strengthened an ordinary hammer with his mana, he would not be able to forge some high-grade materials. Therefore, before embarking on a new weapon, he decided to forge a hammer from the most precious metal in his hand.
Shangguan Bingxue nodded, finally understood everything, and set his eyes on the hammer-shaped mold.
Without tools, Bai Ze did not have the ability to shape the metal at will, so he had to make a hammer-shaped mold that suited him, and then completely melted the metal and poured it into the mold.
"I thought that after melting the gold and pouring it into the mold, I just had to wait for the heat to dissipate...... But I didn't expect that even a mold made of second-order animal bones could not withstand its heat. Bai Ze couldn't help but smile bitterly.
Bai Ze looked at Shangguan Bingxue, with sincere gratitude in his eyes: "You really saved me this time, if you hadn't arrived in time, I'm afraid that these more than seven hours of work and this precious material would have been wasted." ”
Shangguan Bingxue stared at Bai Ze and didn't say anything. Her blue eyes were like a scanner, as if she wanted to see through Shirasawa's soul.
Bai Ze was a little embarrassed by this strong gaze, and asked with some confusion, "What's wrong?" ”
"You ......" Shangguan Bingxue frowned slightly, but the next moment, her face returned to normal, as if nothing had happened. She sighed, and while continuing to use her skills to make the things sealed in the ice cool down faster, she said with a bit of helplessness in her tone: "Bai Ze, you have to be careful when you speak." ”
"What do you mean?" He looked at Shangguan Bingxue with wide eyes.
Shangguan Bingxue shook his head and stopped looking at him. After she calmed down and understood the situation, she finally understood why her heart fluctuated inexplicably just now. It's just that she doesn't want to admit it, and she doesn't want to believe it. She didn't believe that the fluctuations were caused by emotion, even though she didn't feel anything unusual now.
Seeing that Shangguan Bingxue didn't seem to be willing to speak, Bai Ze shrugged his shoulders and didn't take what she just said to heart.
"By the way, if you're not in a hurry, can you help me freeze the hammer?"
"Okay." She nodded lightly. "Actually, I came to you because I had something to talk to you about."
"Say it." Bai Ze answered, jumped up slightly, and sat down on the workbench.
Shangguan Bingxue found that Bai Ze was still wearing pajamas, the corners of his mouth twitched a few times, and he looked at him carefully.
"What are you going to do with the White Springs Camp?"
"Bai Quanying ......" Bai Ze had already thought about this problem last night, so it didn't take long for him to react, "I will kill them and completely crush their forces until they give in." “
“……”
Shangguan Bingxue looked at him silently, and Bai Ze did not avoid her gaze. After a full minute, she finally couldn't help herself and looked away.
"So that's the end."
"It shouldn't go well, though." Bai Ze replied, and then revealed, "I want to conquer Hua in a few months." ”
“…… Is it because of your breakthrough mission? ”
"Yes, it's because of my breakthrough mission."
After that, there was silence in the workshop. But this silence didn't last long, and Bai Ze spoke again.
"Bingxue, I'd like to ask you a favor."
"What's the busy?" She looked at Bai Ze suspiciously.
An arrogant person like Bai Ze would never easily ask for help from others. Even in the last few battles, when his life was on the line, he did not ask anyone for help.
"At the moment, you're one of the few people I trust." He nodded, sighed, and said, "After conquering Huaguo, I'm afraid I'm going to leave the earth for a while. ”
When Shangguan Bingxue heard this, his face changed, and his voice subconsciously increased: "What do you mean?" ”
Then, Bai Ze began to explain slowly.
He talks in detail about the acquisition of his outlier title, as well as the skills attached to the title.
Then, Bai Ze said the conditions that he needed to meet to evolve to the second order, so that Shangguan Bingxue understood the reason why he was going to leave the earth for a while.
"I ...... Understood...... "Shangguan Bingxue didn't know what to say."
On the one hand, Bai Ze received a peculiar and powerful title that allowed him to reach another world.
On the other hand, the young man in front of him has received the promotion task, and if he can't complete it within a year, then all his efforts will be in vain.
So, he had to leave this world...... Because the current earth does not have the ability to breed so many second-order monsters, let alone third-order monsters. Even after nearly two months of apocalypse, first-order beings are still rare.
Shangguan Bingxue felt a little uncomfortable in his heart, and couldn't help but wonder what kind of existence the man in front of him would become one day.
"The difference in strength between you and me...... I'm afraid it's going to get bigger and bigger. Shangguan Bingxue smiled bitterly and shook his head.
Bai Ze wanted to laugh, but he couldn't.
What Shangguan Bingxue said is true...... It's not just her, Bai Ze's strength has grown so fast, I'm afraid it's hard for everyone to reach it.
"Don't worry." Bai Ze tried to soften the slightly heavy atmosphere. "No matter how strong I am, we are also friends. If one day you become stronger than me, will you look down on me? ”
"Of course not!" Shangguan Bingxue hurriedly shook his head, stared at him, and said softly: "Whether you live or die, you are all friends." ”
"Whether it's life or death, it's all friends......" Bai Ze repeated, smiling slightly.
“…… Hey, Bai Ze. Shangguan Bingxue suddenly raised his head, looked at Bai Ze, and asked with some hesitation: "That title of yours...... Can't you take another one with you?
"Another person?" Bai Ze blinked in surprise and said with some uncertainty: "...... I don't know? ”
Shangguan Bingxue's eyes blinked uncharacteristically, thinking that Bai Ze should not know this title either. If that's the case, isn't there hope for her? If she can go to another world with Bai Ze, although there is a great danger, the chance of becoming strong will also be higher!
At the same time, she can also close the strength gap with Bai Ze!
