Walker Of The Worlds Chapter 2312 Becoming A Fletcher

Chapter 2312 Becoming A Fletcher

"Did it work?" Lin Mu watched his handiwork as the arrow was now completed.
He had already let go of the arrow and was using meld to hold it since he didn't want the power of the curse to be transferred to himself somehow.
~SHUA~
This turned out to be the right choice as a couple of seconds later, the 'Cursed' arrow tip showed its power. The arrow shaft started to turn darker and soon became entirely black. 'Will it hold?' he wondered, hoping that it would last. Unfortunately, luck wasn't in his favor as the wooden shaft soon disintegrated into dust.
"Looks like this won't work… Doesn't matter I got more to try." Lin M said as he moved the cursed arrow tip and picked up another arrow shaft.
This was made from another type of wood and Lin Mu inserted the Arrow tip into the slot at front.
~SHUA~
But a few seconds later, a similar effect happened and the wood disintegrated. Lin Mu didn't stop there and continued to use different kinds of wooden shafts one by one. He had made over shirt of them so he had several to go through.
About an hour later, he had finished all the wooden shafts. "Guess wood is a no go…" Lin Mu concluded.
Some of the wood types had lasted longer than other, with the one that Lin Mu had made from Evergreen Pillar Bamboo lasting the longest at one minute. But it also disintegrated as the power of the curse was simply too strong.
"Time for metal shafts…" Lin Mu picked up the first shaft that he had made from Hundred Refined Heavy Iron.
It was a rather standard type of metal and was used for many Immortal weapons and tools.
~SHICK~
Once the Arrow tip was slotted in, Lin Mu held his breath watching as the effect of the curse spread. "Oh?" Lin Mu saw a different effect this time.
Instead of disintegrating, it was as if the metal shaft was rusting.
"Hundred Refined Heavy Iron doesn't really rust in normal conditions…" Lin Mu muttered as the entire shaft rusted into a rusty brown color.
He waited to see if the shaft would hold or not and saw that it was maintaining its shape.
"It rusted but held its shape… Oh, it crumbled." As soon as Lin Mu touched it with a stick the rusted shaft broke apart as if it were chalk.
While this wasn't what he wanted, he did learn that going with metal was the good option as it could at least hold its shape even when it rusted. "I'll try the others and see what happens. The Hundred Refined Heavy Iron is still a 'basic' metal after all." He said before picking out the next shaft which was made from Thousand Folded Immortal Steel.
In a way this was the upgraded version of the Hundred Refined Heavy Iron and was a lot more resistant while also being lighter.
~SHICK~
He slotted the arrow tip into the shaft and waited for the inevitable curse to spread. This time it took ten seconds more before the effect spread, and similar to before the entire shaft rusted. 'Hmm… other than slowing the rate of rusting, the Thousand Folded Immortal Steel wasn't that different.' Lin Mu thought before moving onto another shaft.
The results were similar with only the time needed to rust changing. This kept on happening until Lin Mu reached a shaft that made from Immortal Silver!
Now this was a 'precious' immortal metal and was considered as the better version of the mortal silver. As such, it had similar properties and could resist corrosion.
~SHICK~
Lin Mu had better hopes for this and quickly slotted in the arrow tip.
"Oh?" Lin Mu saw as a small black layer tried to spread on the shaft. "The curse is much slower than before." It took a whole five minutes before the curse had spread over the Immortal Silver Shaft. It had tarnished it until it had become fully black. But Lin Mu didn't end his test here as he touched it with another metal rod first.
~CLANG~
"Sure enough, even if it is tarnished, it doesn't mean it is rusted like the others. It still has its durability." Lin Mu observed. "But what are the limits of its durability?" he wished to check.
~CLANG~CLANG~CLANG~
As such, he started hammering the shaft with the metal rod, seeing how many blows it could take. After all, it couldn't be too weak or it might just snap before Lin Mu even shot it.
Wonder Seeker was going to be used to shoot the arrow, and its strength was no joke. Any normal arrow would simply snap or split in half from the force applied by the bowstring. There was a reason why Lin Mu didn't use any normal arrows with the Immortal Bow and directly used his skills.
Normal arrows would simply be unable to endure the power of the bow.
~CRACK~
And after tens of hits, Lin Mu finally broke the shaft.
"It endured well, but not well enough." Lin Mu deemed it as a failure.
The next shaft he tried was something even more precious; it was a shaft made from Immortal Green Gold!
It was considered as a noble metal and didn't corrode. It was used in a lot of higher quality Immortal tools and weapons due to this and was valued due to its properties.
Applying a layer of Immortal Green Gold in High Grade Immortal armors was almost a protocol and without it, the Armor was considered as incomplete. Not just that, but even for Alchemical cauldrons Immortal Green Gold was indispensable due to its ability to resist a lot of caustic and corrosive effects of the various herbs that would be refined within it.
This was the shaft that Lin Mu had the most hope for.
~SHICK~
He slotted it and waited to see whether the 'Noble metal' could endure it or not.
