Eight bone spurs were in his hand.
He had briefly tested the hardness of the bone spurs, finding them to be somewhat softer than the Mutated Milk Cow Horn, the fangs of the Mutated Black-Browed Python, and the tusks of the Steel-Maned Black Pig, but harder than the Mutated Serpent Scale.
Moreover, the bone spurs could be activated.
The bone spurs already contained a large amount of Source of Life, which also enhanced them; otherwise, ordinary bone would not be able to surpass steel in hardness.
However, the enhancement of the bone spurs themselves was not as significant as the enhancement brought by activation, nor did they possess the automatic recovery ability that came after activation.
Activating a bone spur was quite difficult, even more so than activating a tire. It took Shen Yuan an entire hour to complete the activation of one bone spur.
After activation, the bone spur became slightly thinner but harder, with a smoother surface that had a shimmering luster. It no longer appeared as pale as before; instead, it gave off a jade-like feel, resembling a very precious piece of art.
Shen Yuan took out a piece of Mutated Serpent Scale and placed it on the ground. He raised the bone spur and thrust it down forcefully. With a sharp sound, it effortlessly pierced through the Mutated Serpent Scale!
“Sharper than an Activated Dagger! Harder too!”
Shen Yuan's eyes lit up.
This thing was truly a weapon after activation!
Unfortunately, it was not suitable for Shen Yuan.
Red Sister preferred using knives, and so did Shen Yuan.
However, Red Sister used a Tang Dao, while Shen Yuan favored modern knives produced with contemporary craftsmanship. He liked both long and short knives; Tactical Daggers, Cleavers, and Broad Blade Cleavers were all acceptable.
Bone spurs are not knives; they are like a needle magnified ten times, similar to a military bayonet, which he does not like.
In the past few days, he observed Xu Lixing and found that Xu Lixing seemed more suited to using a bayonet; perhaps he would like it.
As for himself, he decided to activate those four Mutated Milk Cow Horns, guiding them to change shape and polishing them into two Tactical Daggers. If bone spurs can be activated, then even harder and better cow horns can also be activated.
Although it would take a long time.
At noon, Chen Letian and Xu Lixing returned. As soon as they reached the door, they were noisy, saying that he had worked hard with Skinny Guy to finally clear the road to National Route 104. They deserved a good rest at noon, so they couldn't cook and requested Han Xue and Wei Luhe to prepare a meal to reward them.
In response, Wei Luhe showed her claws; the little tiger was indeed a bit intimidating when she got fierce.
"Forget it, Xiao Chen and Xiao Xu have worked hard. I'll cook this meal; I'll make you some medicinal dishes to replenish your strength," Wei Jiankang said with a smile as he walked over, asking Wei Luhe to assist him.
"Old Wei can also make medicinal dishes?" Shen Yuan was genuinely surprised.
However, upon reflection, it wasn't that unusual since Old Wei was originally an Old Chinese Medicine Doctor. According to Wei Luhe, he was also a well-known Old Chinese Medicine Doctor with exceptional medical skills.
"Xiao Shen, you must be tired too? You all go take a nap; I'll call you when it's done," Wei Jiankang chuckled.
There was a traditional Chinese medicine shop in town, and the survivors of Zhangjia Town had scavenged quite a few medicinal materials. He took a careful look; some were still usable for making medicinal dishes without any problem.
Shen Yuan was not tired and did not sleep.
He absorbed two pieces of Mutated Serpent Scale and then took out the Mutated Milk Cow Horns, continuing to guide their change in shape.
Soon, Old Wei's medicinal cuisine was ready, filling the air with a rich aroma of meat and herbs.
"My goodness, Old Wei, you are truly a hidden master! If I had known your medicinal dishes were this delicious, I wouldn't have bothered trying to cook myself; how embarrassing! I think the number one spot in the Apocalypse Food Ranking should go to Old Wei's medicinal cuisine! Not only is it tasty, but it's also more nutritious and healthier!" Chen Letian announced loudly.
No one paid him any attention.
Shen Yuan activated two bone spurs and handed them to Xu Lixing. "The bone spurs are too short and not very handy. You should find a piece of harder wood or something and make a wooden handle to embed the bone spurs into; it should work well."
Xu Lixing indeed liked them and, usually quiet, he actually thanked Shen Yuan sincerely, which surprised him a bit.
Chen Letian was not having it; he shouted that he wanted some too.
"Boss, you gave Xu Lixing such good stuff; how about you get me two as well! I've heard that Li Xinquan has a total of eight bone spurs, don't keep them all to yourself!" Chen Letian grinned sheepishly.
"Chen Letian, with your size, do you really want twenty-centimeter-long bone spurs? Doesn't that seem awkward?" Shen Yuan shook his head. "Just wait; if I get the chance, I'll find something good for you. A weapon suitable for you should weigh at least thirty or forty pounds, right?"
"No way! No! Not enough!"
Chen Letian slammed the table and said, "Boss, that Li Yuanba from Sui Tang Yan Yi has two iron hammers weighing eight hundred pounds! That thing from Yuwen CD... whatever it is, it's over three hundred pounds! Boss, I'm already an Evolver; I can throw Zhang Yue who weighs at least three hundred pounds. My weapon should weigh at least three... two hundred pounds, right?"
Shen Yuan facepalmed and sighed. "You just said it's a novel; do you really believe it? Xiang Yu could carry a cauldron; how heavy could his weapon be? I remember the Records of the Three Kingdoms state that Dian Wei's dual halberds only weighed eighty pounds, and back then a pound wasn't five hundred grams. Eighty pounds converted to now would only be around thirty or forty pounds. Other famous generals were similar. For you, thirty or forty pounds is about right."
Wei Jiankang chuckled and said, "Xiao Chen, just because someone is strong doesn't mean they can wield heavy weapons. Which adult doesn't have over a hundred pounds of strength? In reality, an ordinary sword only weighs one or two pounds; even the heaviest ones are just three or four pounds. How powerful was the Tang Dynasty's Mo Dao? It could cut through horses with one strike but only weighed around twenty pounds; those wielding it were all strongmen in the army. Xiao Chen, thirty or forty pounds is already impressive."
Shen Yuan smiled without saying a word.
Ancient Biography often exaggerates, claiming that weapons weigh hundreds of pounds, making them impossible to lift with one hand, let alone wield freely. More reliable records indicate that the weapons used by famous generals in ancient times did not exceed one hundred pounds. The large iron hammer used by Qin Wang is only about fifty to sixty pounds when converted.
That is already quite impressive!
It is not difficult for Shen Yuan to lift something weighing fifty to sixty pounds, but wielding it freely is simply impossible.
"Think carefully about what equipment you like. If there's a chance, I'll get it for you," Shen Yuan said with a smile.
As the level of evolution increases, the usefulness of ordinary firearms diminishes, and replenishing ammunition becomes increasingly difficult. In the foreseeable future, the role of cold weapons will become more significant.
Of course, Artillery, Bombs, landmines, and even more terrifying Missiles and nuclear bombs still possess deterrent power that cold weapons cannot compare to. However, for individuals, cold weapons may be more suitable.
Take Guo Zuo after his beast transformation as an example.
Ordinary firearms are no longer useful to him, but natural cold weapons are very effective, such as bone spurs and Steel-Maned Black Pig Tusks!
It is time to change our mindset!
Previously, he did not activate weapons for others, partly due to a lack of trust and partly because he had not had the time; he had not yet finished activating what he needed.
Now it is possible!
