Chapter 2310  Cutting Diamonds With Diamonds

Lin Mu had been having a hard time damaging the Chimera Plant Fragments and he had barely managed to do it with the use of Meld.

But it was not a simple task and could certainly not be used in battle, as not only did it require high amounts of Qi, it also needed heavy concentration such that Lin Mu wouldn't be able to move for several minutes.

Something like that would be deadly in a battle and could not be used.

But now there seemed to be a potentially better option.

"Can the Chimera Plant Fragments damage each other?" Lin Mu wondered. 'Diamonds cut other diamonds, does this apply to them too?' he thought.

With this in mind, Lin Mu spent no time in waiting and tried it out immediately. Fifteen minutes of testing showed him that it was not as simple as that.

"Hmm… no scratches on the other fragments… Do I need to use more strength?" He muttered to himself. ~THUD~THUD~THUD~

~CRASH~

~CRACK~

The testing was bound to be unsafe and violent, as such a decent amount of damage was caused to the room that was endured by the formations. Though it was unknown whether they would last till the end.

An hour pa.s.sed like this, after which Lin Mu had finally obtained some results.

"It worked!" Lin Mu was excited at seeing the tiny scratch. "So I didn't just need to use more strength, but also the right fragment." He said while glancing at the five fragments in front of him.

Among the five, two fragments had scratches while the other three were fine. The ones that had been scratched were none other than the fragments that were part of the roots. While the ones that were fine were the Bark fragments.

'Their hardness is very high, but the hardness of the bark is a notch higher than the roots. This gives it just enough of an advantage to scratch the roots.' Lin Mu understood. 'But if I use higher amount of force, I'm sure the bark fragments will not only scratch but cut into it.' He reckoned.

He also thought about why it was like this and reached the conclusion that since the Chimera Plant needed to come up to the surface to absorb the Death Qi and produce the Chimeric Beasts, it was the most obvious target. As such, it needed to have a higher defense than the roots that were relatively safe underground.

Plus the volume of the tree part of the Chimera plant was several times less than that of its roots that were spread for tens of kilometer on end. As such, it was a lot more efficient to refine and toughen a smaller part of the plant than the entirety of the roots.

But this also meant that Lin Mu now had a weapon against the Chimera plant.

"These are small but can still work if I turn them into arrow tips." Lin Mu thought of a solution that didn't involve too much processing. He definitely didn't think that he had the forging skills to turn the hard fragments into anything like a set of needles or a small dagger. But he could very well turn them into arrow tips.

'I already know I can cut them with Meld, so I simply need to do it in a way that they resemble arrow tips.' Lin Mu planned. 'With a tapered shape, their piercing power will be even greater.' He knew.

With that, Lin Mu got to work. Using Meld to cut was not easy and he needed to take a rest in between too. But despite that, he managed to make two arrow tips in less than six hours. 'It's a shame I can't use the first fragment since it was cut in half.' Lin Mu thought to himself.

But it was a necessary sacrifice as without it he simply would not have known it would be possible to do something like this. The first fragment was cut into two smaller fragments that were simply not good enough to be cut into the shape of an arrow tip. And even if Lin Mu did try his best, they would still be too small for it.

With that done, Lin Mu now needed to think of what to do next.

"I'll have two shots with this, so I'll have to make them count." Lin Mu muttered as he thought about how he could improve it further. After all, these were just arrow tips, they were incomplete and needed the shafts to make them complete. But not just any material would be good for the shaft, he needed to pick something that was suitable enough to ensure the force that would be applied to it.

At first he thought of using the True Earth Heart Dao Embryo's Earthen Armament Aspect to create an arrow shaft. But Lin Mu didn't know if that was the best option, not to mention it would also delay him a bit in setting it all up.

'I definitely need something that is already prepared to be shot at a moment's notice. If I do end up having some extra time, I can always use the Earthen Armament Aspect to reinforce it at that time.' Lin Mu thought to himself. 'Then there's also the factor of using the Black Hex Raven Tears.'

Using the tears directly was probably not the best way, as it would probably lead to waste. 'The entirety of the tears for just two arrows isn't worth it. I'll need some other method.' Lin Mu reckoned.

"You can simply dilute them and soak the arrow tips in them." Xukong spoke, seeing that Lin Mu had already reached this point in planning.

"Would that work with just water or do I need anything special?" Lin Mu asked. "Just water will be fine." Xukong replied. "The effect of the tears will overpower anything else." He added.

"Alright, that makes things easier." Lin Mu was pleased with that and got to working on the next step.
