"I didn't expect that the special Tang sword I got with great difficulty would be broken like this."

Zhang Mu shook his head helplessly, his face full of bitterness.

You have to know that one of his weapons in the future took three months to be discarded because of excessive wear and tear. But it was reasonable, after all, Zhang Mu now and his future self were no longer on the same platform, and the monsters they encountered were naturally very different in strength.

That being said, it is still very difficult to find a weapon specially made for dealing with zombies. Zhang Mu felt a twitching sensation in his heart, and now he can't find anyone to make another one for him.

If he can't find a good weapon, he will probably have to fight the zombies with his bare fists.

That won’t work. I still have to find a weapon that suits me.

As Zhang Mu was thinking, his eyes accidentally swept across the fallen claws of the obsidian worm. An inexplicable arc appeared at the corner of his mouth, and his eyes greedily looked at the obsidian worm that was still chewing in the distance.

After the obsidian worm felt Zhang Mu's burning gaze, it couldn't help but shudder suddenly. It seemed to understand what Zhang Mu meant. After desperately eating the mutant monkey king's head in front of it, it tightly protected its fallen claws under its body to block Zhang Mu's naked gaze.

"What do you want to do with my paw?"

After feeling the cautious words conveyed from the heart by the obsidian worm, Zhang Mu smiled and replied, "You have dropped it anyway, and you can't put it back. Look, my Tang sword is now broken into two pieces. Why don't you give it to me? It won't be wasted. It would be such a pity."

The Obsidian's head kept shaking like a rattle, refusing to agree to Zhang Mu's request. After all, this was a part that had just fallen off its body, but now it was going to be used as a weapon by Zhang Mu. The Obsidian couldn't accept this fact.

Although the Obsidian Worm's claws were broken by the mutant monkey king's dying struggle, it was only because the joints were not very tough that they were torn apart.

As for the claws of the obsidian worm itself, they are the only part of its body that is as hard as its carapace. They are also sharper than the artificially forged Tang swords, especially the shape. From Zhang Mu's perspective, after a little rest, it can be turned into a long dagger!

This is why Zhang Mu was so envious. The more he thought about Zhang Mu, the hotter his heart became.

But when he saw that the Black Obsidian was determined not to obey, he had no choice but to persuade him.

The guide said, "Xiao Hei, look, how about I give you some Yuanjing or beast cores as a subsidy? It's a waste anyway, and you can't carry it with you, right? You still need to keep it as a souvenir? If you give it to me, it won't be abandoned in the wild. Do you think it makes sense?"

Seeing that the Obsidian Bug was somewhat interested, Zhang Mu struck while the iron was hot and urged, "You make an offer? I'll give you everything. If it's not enough, I'll owe you money. I'll keep it for you whenever you want it in the future. What do you think?"

The hesitation in the eyes of the obsidian worm became more and more serious. It suddenly felt that what Zhang Mu said made sense, but its suddenly increased intelligence told it that it could not agree to Zhang Mu so easily and had to add a little price.

Its eyes rolled around a few times, and a somewhat reluctant voice came from its heart, saying, "From now on, all wind-attributed beast cores must belong to me. You can't keep any of them, no matter what level they are. If you agree, I'll give you this pair of claws."

Zhang Mu agreed without thinking twice. He would have left all the beast cores that were beneficial to the Obsidian Worm to it. After all, the increase in the Obsidian Worm's strength would also be a help to him.

No matter how much the obsidian worm's intelligence increases, it can't compare to Zhang Mu, the cunning and black-hearted businessman. He just wrote a blank check and made the obsidian worm hand over its claws obediently.

At this time, seeing Zhang Mu agreed so decisively, Hei Yao Chong began to feel doubtful again, and could not help but add in a weak tone, "Then I have to choose the Yuan Jing first in the future, otherwise I won't give it to you."

Zhang Mu hit it on the forehead directly. "You are panting when I told you you are fat? You are taking advantage of me when I give you a little benefit. I am your master. It is good enough for me to give you subsidies for the things that fall from your body. Why are you asking for more?"

The Black Obsidian Worm lost its temper instantly after being slapped by Zhang Mu. It suddenly felt that what Zhang Mu said was very reasonable. If Zhang Mu was really determined to order it, it would not be able to resist. Now speaking to it in a negotiating tone did seem very kind.

Zhang Mu snorted coldly, "Do you think I don't know? You have eaten the beast core and brain essence of this mutant monkey king. Your claws will be reborn immediately, and they will evolve into the same strength attribute as the mutant monkey king."

At this moment, the obsidian bug looked at Zhang Mu in shock, and stammered, "Master, how did you know? I just felt a heat coming from the broken parts of my claws and joints, and it felt like it was about to be reborn. Although in my memory, it would take half a month for it to recover and grow back automatically, how did you know this?

Quickly and know that I will get the power of the mutant monkey king?"

It’s over. I let it slip that I actually thought it was a bug with low intelligence.

Zhang Mu's heart tightened, but he immediately acted calm, "Nonsense, don't I understand your little trick? Look, new flesh and blood has grown where your claws were broken, but at a speed visible to the naked eye. Let me guess, it will be restored to its original state at this speed in one night.

As for whether you will get the power of the mutant monkey king, I was just trying to trick you, but I didn't expect it to be true. You hid it well enough, and you still bargained with me? You have already gotten the biggest benefit."

Seeing that Zhang Mu knew everything, the Obsidian Bug quickly moved away and obediently brought its pair of claws on the ground to Zhang Mu, holding them up to him, fearing that he would really get angry.

Zhang Mu took the claw handed to him by the obsidian worm without hesitation, wiped the blood and dust off with his sleeve, and then scraped off all the remaining flesh and blood. A sharp curved dagger took shape, and under the light of the torch on the ground, it flashed a chilling light.

The Obsidian Bug asked Zhang Mu, who was playing with its claws, cautiously, "What about the beast core just now? You promised."

Zhang Mu was in high spirits at the moment, so he waved his hand impatiently and said, "I will not change my promise to you. Don't worry, I will keep all the wind-attributed beast cores for you in the future."

With Zhang Mu's assurance, the Obsidian Worm was very happy and began to gnaw on the remaining inferior flesh and blood of the mutant monkey king with great interest.

At this time, Yuan Rui, who was standing aside, didn't want to pay any attention to the black obsidian worm with its ugly eating appearance. She felt very distressed when she saw that its claws were broken. When she heard Zhang Mu say that it would grow better and more powerful claws soon, she no longer cared about it.

She walked up to Zhang Mu and said, "Uncle, there should be no monsters around now. Is the treasure you are looking for in the cave where the Buddha is? But I have never heard of such rumors before."

Zhang Mu shifted his focus from the newly acquired dagger, looked meaningfully at the dark Buddha Grotto in the distance and said, "Yes, it is precisely because of this apocalypse that the treasure has the opportunity and energy to restore its great power.

No one can resist its charm!"

Yuan Rui just thought it was something that Zhang Mu had foreseen through his evolutionary ability, but Zhang Mu knew exactly how much blood and gore this thing had caused in later generations.
