Chapter 189 White Tiger Tribe Secret Technique

Ophelia felt disappointed when she heard this conclusion.

Seeing the worried look on her face, Klein frowned.

"What should we do now?" Taylor also looked anxious.

However, after a moment of contemplation, he took out a small knife from his waist pouch.

"How about using this?"

Taylor looked over and asked, "Isn't this a bone knife?"

The bone knife is okay for dealing with prey, but it does not cause much damage to males, not to mention the powerful Fire Phoenix Clan, which poses no threat at all.

Ophelia noticed the difference in the knife, and she stepped forward to take it from Klein's hand.

She looked through it carefully, then tried to test the sharpness of the knife with her fingers.

Klein noticed her movements and quickly stopped her.

"The blade is very sharp and cannot be touched directly with your hands."

"Zeref, do you think this knife is okay?"

The black blade gleamed coldly in the sunlight. Zeref shook it in his hand. "Is this iron?"

There are iron ores in the Beast World, but not many, and not many people can smelt and extract refined iron.

Although rare, these iron objects were not strong and easily broke, so they were not put into use.

The patriarchal tokens awarded to the chiefs of each tribe were made of these iron ores.

"Yes."

"This iron weapon is too brittle and has no offensive power."

Klein shook his head: "Take a look before you draw any conclusions."

Klein picked up a palm-sized stone from the ground. He held a knife and looked at the center of the stone.

Although the stone did not break, a crack appeared in the middle, but the knife was still intact.

"It didn't crack." Zeref was a little surprised.

"But these injuries alone are not enough."

Ophelia took the knife and examined it carefully. She found that the iron material of the knife was not pure.

She could vaguely see small, granular objects on the blade.

"I have a way to increase the damage of this knife."

Ophelia thought of modern kitchen knives and machetes for chopping bones. Such powerful knives should be able to deal with Brada.

"Do you have a solution?" Klein also knew that his sword was not purified enough, but they had tried many methods but failed.

Ophelia never spoke too absolutely. "I can only give it a try."

"But this amount of iron isn't enough. We need more."

This palm-sized piece of iron cannot be used to make a kitchen knife after being purified.

"I'll go ask Maya if there's any iron ore nearby?" Klein said.

Zeref shook his head. "No iron mines have been found near the City of Beasts."

Ophelia felt a little lost. Now, even the best cook cannot cook without rice.

We finally found a way to fight against Bulada, but now it seems that we have to declare failure again.

Klein couldn't bear to see Ophelia sad, so he told her the secret of their White Tiger Clan.

"Just because we haven't found anything doesn't mean it doesn't exist. We can look for it."

"There are so many mountains near Wanshou City. How can we possibly find it? And what if Brada attacks during this time..."

"Princess, you should go back to the White Tiger Tribe with Klein." Taylor thought about it again and again and felt that this was the safest method.

"Taylor, you guys are all here. I'm not leaving."

She is now in a situation where she can run away from the monk but not the temple.

Her parents and relatives are all here. What would it mean if she really fled alone without caring about the life and death of her family?

"Don't worry. The White Tiger Tribe has secret techniques that can help them find gold and iron mines."

"There is such a secret technique? No wonder your White Tiger tribe owns so many mines." Zeref was surprised.

"If you find out, I'm afraid all of us in the White Tiger Tribe won't survive."

Zeref choked.

This is indeed what the people of Shengdu would do.

"Aren't you exposed now?" Ophelia's first reaction was to worry about Klein.

Seeing that Ophelia cared about him, Klein felt a little warmer in his heart.

He raised his hand and touched Ophelia's head. "Don't worry, now that I've spoken, there's a way to deal with it."

"Besides, we're the only ones here right now. If the news gets out, it'll be easy to find the person who leaked it."

Zeref raised his eyebrows. "Why not just call me by name?" Why bother being so sarcastic?

Klein shrugged. "You said that. I didn't say anything."

Zeref was infuriated by Klein's shamelessness.

Taylor hurried to mediate. "The most important thing right now is the iron ore. We will never reveal your secret, don't you think, Zeref?"

Zeref turned his head and snorted, "Humph. Who doesn't have a few mines?"

Yes, every noble family in the Holy City owns two or three mines, but the scale of the mines is not as large as that of the White Tiger Clan.

The mines of all these families combined do not produce as much crystals as the White Tiger Clan in a year.

Klein knew when to stop and didn't pursue the matter further.

He took out a hide purse from his waist, opened it, and gently took out a golden gold-hunting rat from it.

The little mouse smelled Klein's familiar scent and rubbed it against his palm, then stood up and bowed with its front legs.

Klein tapped the mouse's nose, produced a piece of jerky from somewhere, and handed it to it.

The little mouse happily held the dried meat and started to chew it.

"Is this your secret technique?" Taylor thought she was just an ordinary mouse.

"Well, it's called a gold-detecting rat. It can smell crystal ore, iron ore, and gold mines hidden deep underground."

"This little guy actually plays such an important role." Ophelia stepped forward and wanted to touch the golden rat's head.

The gold-hunting rat bared its teeth at her vigilantly, as if warning her not to come near.

Klein tapped the golden rat's head with his finger, his tone unusually doting. "Don't make a fuss. She's your master too."

The gold-hunting rat spun around in Klein's palm before reluctantly stretching out its head for Ophelia to touch.

Ophelia felt that it was very human.

"So let's go find the mine now?"

"Tyler and I will go find the mines. You stay in the Fo tribe and let Zeref protect you."

They didn't know what Brada was thinking, nor did they know when he would attack the Fu people, so Ophelia had to have someone by her side at all times.

Now that Zeref was here, he and Taylor could go out without worry.

"Okay, I'll go ask Kelly what she thinks."

So the two sides acted separately.

Ophelia and Zeref came to the dormitory for single females of the Fu tribe. As soon as they arrived at the bottom of the dormitory building, they saw Ali playing with several females under a tree.

They were playing jump rope, a game that Ophelia had taught them before.

They are very keen on this jumping game.

Ali saw Ophelia coming from a distance and quickly stopped. "Sister, what have you been busy with these days? Every time I went to look for you, you were not there."

Since Klein arrived, the number of visits by the Laxus Rifle tribe has decreased.

He seemed to be busy too, but he would still bring roasted rabbit meat to Ali every once in a while.

Although the two don't see each other often now, their relationship is still very good.
