Chapter 290: Searching for Mineral Mines, A Lone Army (1)

Shi Songtao’s words made Mei Wushang and the others nod in agreement.
Although they weren’t forgers, they knew that no weapon had ever been upgraded.
They had all heard of the reputation of the Great Destroyer Sword.
It was a yellow-grade weapon that had killed a first-rank martial artist!
It was the number one existence on the Yellow-grade Armament Manual!!!
If they had the Great Destroyer Sword, they would worship it. There was no way they would try to upgrade it.
If it failed, the Great Destroyer Sword would be destroyed.
“Your Highness, think it over carefully,” Shi Songtao advised in a low voice. “Even ordinary black-grade weapons can’t compare to the Great Destroyer Sword. If you need a black-grade weapon, I have one. Take it and use it. Don’t destroy the Great Destroyer Sword.”
As a forger, Shi Songtao couldn’t bear to see a good weapon destroyed like this.
This was the Great Destroyer Sword, a divine weapon in the hearts of many forgers.
“Who said I’m going to destroy the Great Destroyer Sword?” Zhou Shu said strangely. “I’m upgrading the Great Destroyer Sword, not destroying it.”
“What’s the difference?” Shi Songtao countered.
“Upgrading the grade of weapons only exists in legends. Weapons are fixed once they’re successfully forged. A slight change can cause an imbalance, and the weapons will collapse…”
“I know these theories better than you.” Zhou Shu shook his head. “Since I want to do this, I’m naturally confident of succeeding.”
“Your Highness, you can’t joke about this. Once you fail, it’ll be too late for regrets,” Shi Songtao said anxiously.
Once the weapon collapsed, it would be basically impossible to repair it.
“I never joke about forging,” Zhou Shu said.
“Just follow my orders. Time is limited. I need you to help me refine the forging materials.”
Shi Songtao opened his mouth, his emotions suddenly complicated.
He suddenly remembered that ever since Zhou Shu became famous, he had never failed.
If he could really upgrade the Great Destroyer Sword to black grade, it would be the first time since the existence of forging.
It would be an earth-shattering event.
If he, Shi Songtao, could participate as an assistant…
His face flushed with excitement.
Although Shi Songtao was confident before, he had never thought of leaving his name in history.
But now, this opportunity was right in front of him. If they upgraded the Great Destroyer Sword successfully, he would definitely leave a deep mark in the history of forging, even if it was only as an assistant!
“Don’t worry, Your Highness. I’ll definitely complete the mission!”
Shi Songtao’s words made Yin Wuyou, Mei Wushang, and the others speechless.
Your attitude has changed too quickly, hasn’t it?
“Zhou Shu, if you go to the mountains, what about here?” Yin Wuyou didn’t think of stopping Zhou Shu. To her, she only needed to support what Zhou Shu wanted to do.
It was just like how Zhou Shu had decided to build a camp here. Actually, there was danger here, and it wasn’t a good place to build a camp.
But Yin Wuyou agreed without hesitation and didn’t raise any objections.
“I’ve already sealed Yao Buqi’s spiritual essence. With his strength, he won’t be able to break the seal,” Zhou Shu said.
“As long as you keep an eye on him, those demonic beast miners won’t dare to rebel.
“The demonic beast army shouldn’t attack for a few days. You just defend well as you’ve been doing.
“As for the rest, we’ll talk about it when I get back.
“At least a day or two, three or five days at most, I’ll definitely be back.”
Zhou Shu led Shi Songtao deeper into the forest.
The most important material needed for the upgrade of the Great Destroyer Sword was blood silver, which had long piled up in the camp.
As for the other materials, they were not expensive materials. They could be easily found in the warehouse of the Forging Division.
But here, they were separated from the main group and couldn’t obtain the supply of forging materials. They could only search for them themselves.
“You’re clear about the forging materials, right?” Zhou Shu said to Shi Songtao. “Not too much, just find eight to ten kilograms of each.”
“Don’t worry, Your Highness. I’m familiar with the materials. As long as the mineral mines exist in these mountains, I’ll definitely be able to find them!” Shi Songtao patted his chest.
Shi Songtao wasn’t lying about this.
He came from a forging family and was different from Zhou Shu’s predecessor, who had been a low-level worker for several generations. His ancestors had all been proper forgers.
As far back as Shi Songtao could remember, he had followed his grandfather and father and learned about various forging materials.
Searching for mineral mines was part of learning about forging materials.
When Shi Songtao was young, he had often wandered in the forest with his grandfather.
Shi Songtao had been to almost every mountain forest in Great Xia.
If he hadn’t met Zhou Shu, he would be the well-deserved number one weapon forging genius of Great Xia.
He had talent, inheritance, and worked hard. He was proper protagonist material.
Unfortunately, he met Zhou Shu and was reduced to becoming the head steward of the Huaxia Pavilion…
Still, he seemed to be enjoying himself.
…
Whoosh—
Shi Songtao’s hands were red as he waved a flame. The thorny weeds were burned away, revealing the rock beneath.
He pressed his hands against the rock. With a sizzling sound, a handprint several inches deep appeared on the rock.
Shi Songtao knocked casually, and the burned rock fell away, revealing the structure inside.
