The Man's Decree

Chapter 2469 Refinement

“Master Hammerhead, what's the story with these armored beasts?” Jared, seeing Hammerhead in tears, voiced his confusion.

Hammerhead wiped away his tears and said, “These armored beasts were raised by Divine Smithing Sect for the purpose of mining spirit ores. But after Divine Smithing Sect was destroyed, no one remained to feed them. I didn't expect them to still be alive.”

“Master Hammerhead, why don't these armored beasts run away and find something to eat outside instead?” Flaxseed asked.

“You don't understand. Once these armored beasts are tamed and kept captive, they will never leave. They would rather die than leave this mine,” Hammerhead explained with a shake of his head. “Besides, even if they were to leave the mine, they wouldn't find anything to eat. They feed on spirit ore essence.”

“But this mine is full of spirit ores. Why don't these armored beasts eat them? Are they just waiting to starve to death?” Jared asked.

“These spirit ores are unrefined. The armored beasts cannot consume them. The ores need to be refined first before they can be fed to the beasts. Just now, they must have sensed my aura, so they exerted all their strength to attract my attention.”

When he finished speaking, Hammerhead's aura suddenly erupted as Smithing Force surged from his body. Soon, a large hammer formed in his hand.
