Treasure Hunting

Chapter 46 Treasure Beasts And Weapons

A white light suddenly shot out from the Treasure-hunting Compass and lit the cave in an instant.

"That's cool," Zachary said smiling.

He then looked around with the white light. He found that the cave was littered with skeletons and countless corpses, making it look like a mass grave.

The cave was not big. He walked forward and stopped at the end of the cave. He found that there was no other out; it was a completely enclosed space.

'I don't know if the huge bird has flown away. I might have to stay here for a while. I wonder if there's any treasure hidden in this cave...' Zachary looked around for a good spot to start and began to rummage around the cave.

He dug in the cave for a long while, but found nothing.

Just when he was about to give up, he suddenly found a bone that emitted a bluish light. It was as if the bone was sprinkled with fluorescent powder.

He picked the bone up, placed it in front of him and checked it carefully. He concluded that it was a hand bone.

'I better bring it to the system for identification along with the egg!' Zachary activated the Treasure- hunting Compass and then entered the system.

"Hello, can you please help me identify what these two are?" After entering the system, Zachary took out the egg and the hand bone, then placed them on the platform for the system to identify.

Several flashes of light shot from both sides and swept back and forth between the egg and the hand bone.

After a long while, Mimi said in a sweet voice, "Identification completed! They are a Blazing Egg and the hand bone of a human warrior respectively."

"A Blazing Egg? What treasure is that?" Zachary asked at once.

Soon, a hologram image of appeared in front of him. It was a giant bird with flames on it.

"That bird chased me just now," Zachary said with certainty.

"It's a treasure beast of Common Level which is named Blazing Roc. It can lay Blazing Eggs. Blazing Eggs can be used to improve warriors' strength," Mimi explained.

"What is a treasure beast?" Zachary raised his eyebrows when he heard what Mimi said.

"A treasure beast is a kind of martial beast that can produce treasures that enhance warriors' strength. The treasure beasts are also divided into three levels: the Common Level, the Scarce Level and the Rare Level. A treasure beast of Common Level can produce treasures that are used to improve warriors' strength. A treasure beast of Scare Level or Rare Level can produce treasures that enhance the elements of warriors' martial energy. But treasure beasts are very rare. Even the ones of Common Level are hard to find, let alone the ones of Scarce Level and of Rare Level. The treasure beasts of Scarce Level and of Rare Level can be considered legendary," Mimi explained.

"So I was so lucky to meet a treasure beast? If I catch it, I will make a great fortune!" Zachary said excitedly.

"That is correct. However, it is impossible for you to capture it with your current strength," Mimi said coldly.

"Humph! Are you saying that I can't?" With his arms crossed over his chest, Zachary understood that with his current strength, it was really impossible for him to capture the Blazing Roc.

"Never mind for now. We'll talk about it later. By the way, do you think this bone is the hand bone of a human? But it looks very different from it..." Zachary inspected the hand bone briefly.

"Based on my analysis, the bone belongs to a warrior of Holy Level. The bone must have existed at least two hundred years," Mimi continued.

"It is from a warrior of Holy Level?" Zachary was surprised to hear that. Based on the memories of the former owner of his body, there was only one warrior at the Sage Level in the Welkin Sect since it was established. And the Burial Forest had always been under the jurisdiction of the Welkin Sect, so ordinary warriors could not enter. It was therefore incredible that he found the hand bone of a warrior at the Holy Level in the Burial Forest.

"Mimi, what is this hand bone used for?" Zachary asked. He had a feeling that the hand bone was special because it came from a warrior at the Holy Level. He thought of the possibility of making use of it.

"The hand bone is special because it has the essence of martial energy of a warrior at the Holy Level. Obviously, its owner paid great attention to the cultivation of the arms. Because of this, the hand bone has very powerful strength, which can be the best material to refine weapons," Mimi explained.

"Weapons?" Zachary was surprised of what Mimi said. He searched the memories of the former owner of his body. Soon he found out that the so-called weapons were able to increase warriors' strength.

A warrior could master some powerful martial arts, but those martial arts would consume a large amount of martial energy, so they were unable to use the weapons for extended periods of time. Thus, in order to become more efficient in battle, weapons were created.

Weapons were classified into MH weapons and OH weapons—main hand weapons and off hand weapons. MH weapons could make use of warriors' martial energy and improve martial arts' killing

power.

OH weapons, on the other hand, couldn't make killing attacks and were only used to provide assistance. But they could store warriors' martial energy and give enemies fatal blows. And at a critical moment, this could help turn the tide of battle. However, OH weapons usually could not make killing attacks and were only used to provide assistance.

And on the Supernal Continent, OH weapons were rarer than MH weapons. The materials used to refine OH weapons were usually very rare and could never be obtained easily. Therefore, on the Supernal Continent, very few warriors possessed OH weapons, and they were usually above the Imperial Level.

Most warriors on the Supernal Continent usually used MH weapons only. However, because MH weapons were also not easy to create, only warriors above the Heaven Level usually had MH weapons.

But the rarity of MH weapons was not because of the rarity of the refining materials. The real reason was that there were very few weapon refiners on the Supernal Continent that could refine MH weapons.

Weapon refiners were the common name for weapon builders or weapon smiths who had the ability to refine weapons. A weapon refiner must be a warrior because the process of refining a weapon required that a weapon refiner must quench the materials with their martial energy. This was the only method to ensure that the strength and hardness of the weapon would be able to resist the corresponding power of martial energy. The higher the level of a weapon was, the more power the weapon refiner needed. Unfortunately, on the Supernal Continent, there were very few weapon refiners above the Imperial Level. Thus, the higher the level of a weapon, the rarer it was. Ccontent © exclusive by Nô/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.
