Driven out of my home in the apocalypse, I built a fortress in return.

Chapter 31 Quasi-Divine Weapon! The Shocked Hooded Girl!

"So how are you going to thank me? By offering yourself to me?"

"Huh?" Upon hearing this, June immediately crossed her arms and stared nervously at Xiao Yu.

Why isn't this guy playing by the rules?

Although this guy is very good-looking and makes people like him.

But even if it's to repay a debt of gratitude, I can't betray myself!

"Alright, I won't tease you anymore. I didn't save you on purpose... I just wanted to kill them!" Seeing the hooded girl startled, Xiao Yu shook his head with amusement.

The hooded girl reminded herself twice that the person seemed alright, and there was nothing wrong with helping him out.

"Phew~ I still have to thank you." June patted her chest and breathed a sigh of relief.

"May I ask something?" Seeing that Xiao Yu didn't make things difficult for her, she grew a little bolder. Remembering the terrifying scene she had witnessed in the courtyard house—a scene she would never forget—she tentatively asked:

"That monster or ferocious beast underground, could it be your pet?"

She seemed to have seen Xiao Yu touch the monster earlier.

But I always felt that a human being couldn't possibly have this ability, unless he wasn't human!

“Yes, that’s right.” Xiao Yu nodded, then smiled meaningfully, “We’re on its back right now, can’t you feel it?”

"what?"

June's eyes widened instantly, and she subconsciously looked down.

Only then did he realize that he was still in the courtyard house, and the entire courtyard house had been dragged underground by the monster.

No wonder, it's pitch black all around, and the air is getting thinner and thinner.

But... is all of this endless expanse just that monster?

So how big is it exactly?

No wonder it can so easily trigger natural disasters!

Thinking of this, June, who was already seriously injured, was so frightened that her legs went weak and she fell to the ground.

But just then, Xiao Yu suddenly stepped forward and caught her, teasingly saying, "You're such a coward, yet you still try to steal things?"

"Hmph! I'm not doing it for myself, I'm doing it for..." June couldn't help but argue.

Having endured so much suffering, she had long since become numb; death might be a relief for her.

However, she was still very young, and ultimately she was somewhat unwilling, even more unwilling... to completely become a monster.

Besides, she only wanted to steal a few small things.

Unlike this guy, who actually moved the entire courtyard house away.

Yet they shamelessly accused her of stealing?

Is there a King Fa?Is there any reason?

"You saved me twice, I don't know how to repay you."

After breaking free from Xiao Yu's embrace, Liu Yue suppressed her fear, barely managed to stand up straight, and said earnestly, "This scimitar was forged by my own hands. It can be considered a near-divine weapon. Consider it my reward for repaying you."

As she spoke, June took a curved knife from her waist and handed it to Xiao Yu with a reluctant expression.

"What did you say? A near-divine weapon personally crafted by me?"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yu's eyes lit up instantly, and he reached out to take it and examine it.

The weapon classification in this world is very simple: ordinary weapons, quasi-divine weapons, and divine weapons!

Tier 1-2 iron weapons are considered ordinary weapons and can be used by anyone.

Whether it's Flame City or Black Demon Guard, most of their weapons aren't even Tier 1!

Tier 3-4 weapons are called near-divine weapons, extremely sharp.

Those of level 5 and above are called divine weapons, capable of cutting through iron like mud, and also have special bonuses.

With the added power of a divine weapon, one's strength can instantly increase several times, or even ten times.

This scimitar is crescent-shaped and doesn't look particularly special.

However, just as half of the blade was drawn, a sharp, cold light flashed.

He casually made a cut on his arm and surprisingly managed to leave a white mark.

"It actually managed to leave a white mark on me, truly impressive! It must be a fourth-tier quasi-divine weapon!" Xiao Yu couldn't help but exclaim in admiration. After all, with his current defense, first- or second-tier weapons couldn't even scratch him, let alone leave a mark.

But when the knife made a casual cut, it left a white mark, and it stung a little.

If you were to strike yourself with all your might, perhaps... you could actually hurt yourself.

Of course, it only hurts myself!

To kill yourself, you'd need at least a true divine weapon!

In the entire city of Yan, there are hardly any divine weapons!

At this moment, Xiao Yu looked at the hooded girl in front of him, his eyes sparkling.

To forge a near-divine weapon in June, one must be at least a high-level blacksmith!

He was looking for someone to forge weapons, and this person was right under his nose.

"Are you crazy? This is a Tier 4 quasi-divine weapon, extremely sharp, killing ferocious beasts is like cutting melons and vegetables! How dare you use it to cut yourself? Huh... how could you be unharmed?" Seeing Xiao Yu actually use a quasi-divine weapon to cut himself, June was so frightened that she almost had a heart attack.

However, before she could stop it, she was instantly stunned.

To know.

Since she forged this scimitar, she has been able to slay ferocious beasts as easily as cutting melons and vegetables.

Even when fighting against opponents of the same level, they can easily defeat them instantly.

Previously, if the courtyard house hadn't been too cramped, and if her abilities hadn't been restrained by the glowing tree, she would have been able to succeed.

Even if she couldn't defeat those dozen or so Black Demon Guards, she could easily escape.

However, June, who refused to believe it, grabbed Xiao Yu's arm and examined it carefully.

As a result, there was only one white scratch!

Is this guy really a monster? Even a quasi-divine weapon couldn't hurt him?

"Hehe! This knife is not bad, but it may not be able to hurt me. Besides... this kind of knife is for women, and I prefer a broadsword!" Xiao Yu laughed heartily, sheathed the knife, and casually tossed it to the hooded girl.

He is, after all, a power-type fighter, accustomed to large, sweeping movements, so a broadsword would be more suitable for him.

This small and delicate curved knife is more suitable for girls.

Moreover, he could tell that the hooded girl was very reluctant to part with the curved sword, and a gentleman does not take what others cherish.

"You really don't want it?" Although June was asking, she was holding the curved knife tightly. The joy on her lips flashed by, and when she looked at Xiao Yu, she was even more grateful.

Xiao Yu guessed correctly; this knife was her most important companion, and she really didn't want to give it away.

However, the other person had just saved her twice, and she didn't have anything valuable to give them...

Seeing the hooded girl deep in thought, Xiao Yu tentatively asked, "You're a master blacksmith, right? Can you forge divine weapons? I'd like to ask you to forge a truly peerless divine weapon for me."

"I'm not a weapon-refining master, I can't help you!" June said with a wry smile, waving her hands repeatedly.

She only studied with a master craftsman for a short time, so she's just a dabbler.

"Besides... to forge a divine weapon, you need rare metals, and these treasures are too rare for me to obtain." As if to dispel Xiao Yu's unrealistic ideas, June added.

Even quasi-divine weapons are made of rare metals, while divine weapons require even more.

But as soon as she finished speaking, Xiao Yu used the power of the earth to move a stone with a diameter of one meter.

"You're talking about rare metals, how about extraterrestrial meteorite iron?" Xiao Yu asked magnanimously.

"How is this possible? Where did you get such a large piece of meteorite iron from outer space? And the quality is so high?" June examined the charred stone closely, her mind reeling.

The rare metal she obtained back then was of far lower quality than this piece, and it was only the size of an arm.

If she had such a large piece of extraterrestrial meteorite.

Not only do we need to forge a scimitar, but we also need to forge a suit of armor.

"I just picked it up while I was on the road," Xiao Yu shrugged and said frankly.

"I don't believe you for a second!" June didn't believe a single word Xiao Yu said.

“Rare metals alone are not enough!” She thought for a moment, then shook her head again.

"It also requires auxiliary materials such as scales or bones from high-level ferocious beasts, those with exceptionally strong innate abilities... Only then can it have special bonuses such as strength and speed; otherwise, it cannot be considered a divine weapon..."

This material is no less rare than extraterrestrial meteorite iron.

After all, not all ferocious beasts possess powerful innate abilities.

Most ferocious beasts are simply stronger and faster than ordinary wild animals.

However, she hadn't finished speaking.

"Chi chi chi..."

A steel pangolin, over four meters long, charged over.

Xiao Yu looked at June and smiled, "Can we use this?"

"Where did you bring this terrifying beast from again?" June was startled again, but she was relieved after realizing that the monster wouldn't attack people.

Look at this ferocious beast, although it's not very big.

However, look at its steel exterior.

It felt that in some ways it was more special than the giant monster beneath my feet.

Not content with having one enormous monster as big as a mountain, they also have one this terrifying?

"With such high-quality meteorite iron and such a special ferocious beast, perhaps I can really give it a try... Hmm, forging a Tier 4 quasi-divine weapon is definitely no problem, its power far exceeding my scimitar by several times. As for a divine weapon... that's still impossible."

Any crafter who obtains high-level materials will want to craft them, and June is no exception.

Moreover, forging weapons for Xiao Yu could also be considered a way of repaying a debt of gratitude.

However, given her forging skills, even the best metal probably couldn't reach the level of a divine weapon.

She needs to make this clear.

"I understand, I'll do my best." Xiao Yu nodded, not forcing the issue.

His idea was that if the hooded girl couldn't forge a divine weapon, he would learn it himself.

He felt that his brain had been greatly developed, and he could learn anything with ease.

Perhaps, I could secretly learn from the hooded girl...

After a while.

June agreed to stay temporarily to forge weapons and then followed Xiao Yu back to the tribe.

He was injured in June and needs to rest for a while.

"By the way, my name is Xiao Yu, what's yours?"

"June."

"A very nice name."
