Chapter 150: Crocodile Blade

Chapter 150: Crocodile Blade

Continuous hammering sounds came from Shan Qiu’s Teepee. He wore an Animal Hide Mask and held a stone hammer in his hand. Currently, he was forging a Tang Sword.

Ever since obtaining the Stone Armoured Crocodile Hide, his excitement had grown considerably, giving him extra vigour while crafting the Tang Sword.

“It’s done.” Shan Qiu looked at the newly forged Tang Sword with satisfaction, his face beaming with irrepressible joy.

The entire sword was similar to the design Su Bai had provided, with the only difference being the material. It was no longer made of steel, but forged from Stone Armoured Crocodile Hide. Its overall colour was brownish, which was the original colour of Stone Armoured Crocodile Hide.

Shan Qiu held it in his hand and swung it, finding that the sword was quite heavy and required some strength to wield.

He put away the Tang Sword and said with a strong voice, “I wonder what the Shaman thinks of it? Let me show it to him!”

Shan Qiu wrapped the Tang Sword in animal hide, strapped it to his back, and left the Teepee using his hands for support.

Fifteen minutes later, he arrived at the entrance of the Main Teepee. After stating his purpose, he was led in by the fox eared girl.

“Shaman, I have forged the Tang Sword you requested. Please take a look.” Shan Qiu excitedly handed over the wrapped up Tang Sword.

Su Bai accepted the sword with anticipation. As he lifted the animal hide, a brownish sword came into view.

His black eyes astonished as he carefully examined the sword, finally taking it in his hand and swinging it a few times.

He felt that the sword was quite heavy, probably too much for an ordinary person to wield. If it was not for his increased Strength and Stamina, he might have embarrassed himself.

“I only gave you the Stone Armoured Crocodiles yesterday, and you’ve already managed to forge one today. Not only is your speed in crafting impressive, but the sword is also well-made.” Su Bai honestly praised from his heart. This sword had truly exceeded his expectations. He had initially thought it would just be a typical sword that could slice, merely useful as the Tribe’s main weapon.

Unexpectedly, this sword had flowing lines in it, and was extremely sharp. It also appeared to be extremely durable.

“Shaman, if a Totem Warrior uses this sword, they will be able to unleash its full potential.” Shan Qiu explained.

“Because of its weight?” Su Bai knew that Totem Warriors were all very strong, and if a weapon was too light, they would not feel comfortable wielding it.

“That’s one reason. More importantly, the Stone Armoured Crocodile itself is a Ferocious Beast, and Totem Warriors have always consumed Ferocious Beast Meat and Blood to nourish their Qi.” Shan Qiu took back the Tang Sword and continued explaining, “This sword is made from Stone Armoured Crocodile Hide. Its hardness and weight are excellent, and its characteristics align well with those of the Totem Warriors.”

“That makes sense.” Su Bai nodded in satisfaction. He stood up and said, “I want to test the power of this sword.”

“Yes.” Shan Qiu handed over the sword and silently followed him out of the Teepee.

Ten minutes later, Su Bai arrived at the training ground with the Tang Sword, intending to test its power.

He rotated his wrist and swung the Tang Sword. Due to crafting Shaman Bone Tablets and eating Ferocious Beast Meat, Su Bai’s Strength and Stamina had been steadily improving. Wielding a Tang Sword made from Stone Armoured Crocodile was not too difficult for him, especially since he was just swinging it around.

*Swoosh swoosh swoosh!…* The Tang Sword made from Stone Armoured Crocodile produced continuous sounds of cutting air as it was swung. The sound was subtle and crisp, not at all cumbersome.

A few minutes later, Su Bai stopped swinging the sword and nodded with satisfaction, “It’s amazing. This sword feels comfortable even in my hands, let alone in a Totem Warrior’s hands.”

In fact, he was already feeling a bit tired. The weight of this sword was indeed far from light. It was truly a weapon more suited for Totem Warriors.

Su Bai silently thought, [Seems like I would need to eat more Ferocious Beast Meat to nourish myself. Else, my stats won’t increase any further…]

“Shaman, would you like a Totem Warrior to try it?” Shan Qiu suggested.

“Aren’t you a Totem Warrior? You can do it.” Su Bai handed the sword over.

Shan Qiu seemed a bit hesitant and said, “Shaman, you know I don’t have feet. I can’t unleash the full power of the Tang Sword.”

“What does it matter if you don’t have feet? You’re still a Totem Warrior at the end of the day, and we’re just testing how the sword feels in a Totem Warrior’s hands.” Su Bai truthfully said.

Shan Qiu looked intently into Su Bai’s black eyes and heavily nodded. “Yes, Shaman.”

His expression turned serious. He took the sword and began swinging it, each strike visibly more powerful than the last.

A few minutes later, Shan Qiu also stopped swinging the Tang Sword and handed it back with a satisfied expression. This was the first time since losing his legs that he had felt so joyful. It was for no other reason than seemingly recapturing the feeling of being a Totem Warrior again.

“How was it?” Su Bai asked.

“Shaman, I could swing this sword all day without feeling tired. Moreover, there’s hardly any sound when I swing. This can be used to catch my opponents off guard!” Shan Qiu excitedly said.

Su Bai made a couple of swings with the Tang Sword and smiled. “Seems like the Tang Sword has been crafted successfully. You’ll need to make more of these in the coming days.”

“Yes. As long as there’s enough Stone Armoured Crocodile Hide, I won’t disappoint you, Shaman!” Shan Qiu responded with vigour.

“Don’t worry about that. The Hunting Team will set aside time to hunt Stone Armoured Crocodiles. I will ensure you have one per day to craft Tang Swords.” Su Bai said with a slight smile.

“That’s wonderful!” Shan Qiu was already eager to begin producing more.

Su Bai looked at the Tang Sword in his hand and said, “Calling it a Tang Sword doesn’t seem quite right. Let’s call it the Crocodile Blade instead.”

“Crocodile Blade?” Shan Qiu pondered for a moment, then cheerfully said, “Shaman, that’s a good name. A great name!”

“You can go back to your work now. Currently, we have eighteen Totem Warriors in the Tribe. Make sure each of them has a Crocodile Blade.” Su Bai solemnly said.

He always believed that if they could overwhelm the enemy in terms of weapons, half the battle was already won. The other half depended on tactics.

“I understand. I’ll definitely have the Crocodile Blades ready before we reclaim our Ancestral Land.” Shan Qiu immediately responded.

“Good. Once we reclaim our Ancestral Land, I’ll assign more assistants to you. By then, I’ll find a way to help you stand up again.” Su Bai said in a deep voice.

Shan Qiu was stunned. Hearing that he might be able to stand again made him even more excited. He earnestly raised his head and said with all his heart, “Thank you, Shaman.”

Su Bai soon watched as he supported himself on his hands and left. [If not for the loss of his legs, the Tribe would have had another great general…]
