Chapter 89 Keeping A Promise

After resting for a long time, Ou Yangming finally regained some strength.

He stood up forcefully and shook his head, then staggered toward the backyard. Before long, he arrived at the spot where he had stored the ferocious beasts’ carcasses.

The carcasses from before had not been completely absorbed, but they already stunk. Nonetheless, Ou Yangming’s eyes lit up upon seeing them. He retrieved a dagger, and activated his Military Fire as he stabbed it in…

When Ou Yangming returned to his room after a brief moment, he had a better complexion.

Although the remaining carcasses had not allowed him to fully recover his Qi and blood, he felt much better than before.

After some thought, he decided to leave his courtyard to head to the West Camp.

However, not long after he left, he heard someone calling out to him in a friendly manner, “Master Ou, you’re finally back!”

Ou Yangming could not help but laugh when he turned to look. “Squad Leader Jiang, what a coincidence.”

The person who called out to him was Squad Leader Jiang Chengwei from the Middle Camp. When he heard Ou Yangming’s half-teasing, half-cheerful voice, he replied in embarrassment and in honesty, “Master Ou, I actually intentionally came to wait for you because I heard that you’ve returned from the town.”

Though Jiang Chengwei had come all the way here, he dared not visit Ou Yangming as he did not want to disturb the master. He decided to wait like a fool, which was the dumbest method.

Ou Yangming chuckled. “Why are you looking for me?”

Jiang Chengwei rubbed his hands and was hesitant to answer.

“You’re here for the explosive arrows, am I right?” Ou Yangming smiled.

“That’s right. After using your explosive arrows, I just feel that something’s off when I use other arrows.” Jiang Chengwei nodded in excitement, then said after a pause, “Actually, I dare not ask for too much. I just hope that I can have a few to be kept as a secret weapon. That way, I’ll be at peace!”

Ou Yangming grinned when he heard the squad leader speaking so pitifully. “Didn’t I tell you to send me a few High Grade arrows when you’re free?”

“Master Ou, I’ve already brought them,” Jiang Chengwer quickly replied, but secretly cursed, ‘You told me to bring some to you, but even after visiting you a few times, you were never home…’

Ou Yangming accepted the arrows and hesitated before he said, “Okay, I’ll refine these arrows for you. Can you please look for Sui Hezhi from the West Camp to ask if he has any new quarries? The ones that I stored have turned smelly, so I threw them away.”

Jiang Chengwei was startled. “New quarries?”

“The ferocious beasts that you hunt from the forest. I like to eat them,” Ou Yangming replied to him with a nod.

“I understand. But Master Ou, if you’d like some quarries, why did you have to ask from those wusses in the West Camp? You can count on me!” Jiang Chengwei laughed after he realized what Ou Yangming meant, then turned to leave and shouted, “Wait for me, I’ll go get one for you now!”

Ou Yangming did not know to cry or to laugh when he watched Jiang Chengwei running away.

Nevertheless, since Jiang Chengwei was helping him, he could not be bothered to look for Sui Hezhi anymore. Ou Yangming went to his smithing workshop, then adjusted his mental power to incorporate it into his Military Fire. Soon enough, the six High Grade arrows in his hands were turned into explosive arrows.

Needless to say, he did not increase the arrows’ quality this time, but even so, the might of the arrows had been increased by a few times. Whether they would be used to attack wild beasts or humans, they would be much more powerful than they were before.

Afterward, Ou Yangming retrieved steel ingots to smith a High Grade equipment set.

Even though there were a few pieces of Attribute Equipment among the pieces of equipment that he had submitted in the past, their quality was limited at Good Grade. Ever since his challenge against Ni Yunhong, everyone knew that he could smith equipment at the peak of High Grade, and that he could perform Layering Art. In that case, Ou Yangming felt embarrassed if he still submitted pieces of Good Grade equipment.

Therefore, he decided to free his hands and legs. He tossed precious ores into every piece of equipment, and ended up smithing five pieces of High Grade Attribute Equipment, as well as a piece of High Grade Layered Attribute Equipment.

Ou Yangming had prepared them to be submitted for this month. While there were three extra pieces of High Grade Attribute Equipment, he had actually prepared them for Old Craftsman.

Old Craftsman had aged, hence he did not have as much vigor as he did before. Although the old man had not stopped using smithing art, Ou Yangming was unwilling to allow him to smith anymore.

In any case, Ou Yangming could make up the remaining portion, and could even fulfill twice the required amount if he wanted to.

Just as he was done smithing, he heard Jiang Chengwei asking to meet him outside.

Ou Yangming’s eyes glowed when he stepped outside. Jiang Chengwei was a reliable person indeed as he managed to get a moose in less than an hour’s time. The moose was much bigger than the normal quarries, so Ou Yangming figured that it had a unique bloodline.

That said, how could a small squad leader have the right to use such a moose?

Ou Yangming furrowed his eyebrows and asked, “Squad Leader Jiang, you know that I don’t want any trouble, do you?”

Jiang Chengwei was stunned at first, but quickly realized what Ou Yangming meant, so he laughed. “Master Ou, don’t worry, there’s nothing wrong with this moose.”

“Squad Leader Jiang, I suppose that this i
