The Mirage Dragon's back mane, a handful of red bristles that the Jiangshi snatched from the Mirage Dragon's back as he left, were heavy and scorching hot.
These bristles were located on the right side of the Mirage Dragon's back, not the longest ones, but they were still two or three meters long, and gathered together like a bundle of sugarcane.
【Name: Mirage Dragon Back Mane】
【Type: Anomalous Item】
【Quality: Perfect】
【Effect: None】
【Note: Material from the body of the mythical creature Mirage Dragon, indestructible and perhaps exploitable in some way. For example, forging equipment.】
【Note: Maybe you can frame it on the wall and brag to your grandchildren about your dragon-slaying experience when you get old – assuming you have grandchildren.】
【Note: Awoo, that hurts a bit.】
Li Ang stared at the Mirage Dragon's back mane's remarks. Even though it was the second time he'd seen them, he still felt an urge to complain.
"The second-to-last remark is full of malice. Can I accuse the system of cursing me to die alone?"
"As for the last remark, it should be what the Mirage Dragon was thinking when the Jiangshi pulled out its bristles.
Should I say the Mirage Dragon is a little cute?
But that's understandable. According to the Jiangshi, that Mirage Dragon Shuiyun, which was twenty meters in diameter and stretched for who knows how many miles, should only be an eight-year-old child.
And a little girl at that.”
Li Ang placed the sugarcane-like mane on the ground, and a thought suddenly flashed through his mind, "In a sense, these back bristles should be considered the hair of a little loli..."
He shook his head, threw the chaotic thoughts behind him, and carefully considered how to use this item.
The back bristles, like the Biological Template and the Anomalous Embryo, were perfect-quality props, but the Biological Template had a clear way to use it, and the Anomalous Embryo was also annotated by the system as being able to pay a certain amount of game currency to strip away divinity.
Only the Mirage Dragon's back mane had no method of use given by the system. All there was was a vague hint like "can be used to forge equipment."
"One way is to put the back bristles directly into the forging furnace and forge them into equipment. I estimate that these bristles alone can forge good equipment.
Unfortunately, the current quality of the Alchemy Workshop is only Fine, and as a result, the equipment forged by the forging furnace is at most Rare.
Doing so would be too wasteful."
Li Ang thought about it and couldn't help but get a headache.
The Jiangshi adult, who was now tinkering with something on the moon, gave him bristles,
Instead of the legendary dragon blood that could heal all injuries, or dragon horn fragments that felt like they could be used as medicine, or dragon scales that could be used directly as armor and shields.
"Okay, a greedy snake tries to swallow an elephant. Don't think so much."
Li Ang shook his head and tested the Mirage Dragon's back mane. He found that the defensive ability of this thing was simply outrageously strong.
Even Li Ang's strongest attack of "Adrenaline + Ripple Breathing + BG Skill + Three-Edged Bone Tip Spear" could not cause any visible damage to any of the Mirage Dragon's back bristles.
Even thermite incendiary bottles or grenades failed to break through the bristles' defense.
"These bristles are very tough. If you use all your strength, you can stretch and deform them.
Indestructible, extremely heat-resistant, and also very good at absorbing kinetic energy.
Wait a minute!"
Li Ang looked at the bristles, and his eyes suddenly lit up. He disassembled the entire bundle of back bristles into single bristles.
Perhaps because the pores on the Mirage Dragon's back were large, the finest of these bristles were still 0.2 centimeters in diameter, but the feel was extremely smooth. Even under a microscope, no cracks could be seen in the bristles themselves.
Each hair had an almost perfect smooth curve.
Li Ang returned to the bedroom and brought two knitting needles. He had learned a little handcrafting when he was in the orphanage, and he often knitted some wool underwear, shorts, and underwear for himself or others.
It was quite warm, but it was also itchy.
"I wonder if it will work..."
Li Ang placed the strands of bristles on the ground, sat cross-legged, and used knitting needles to weave the bristles together.
Several hours later, a small red knitted hat woven from bristles began to take shape. Li Ang found a watermelon, put the bristle-knitted hat on it,
And then used a small-caliber pistol bullet. Shoot the watermelon placed on the ground in a concave pit.
"Bang bang bang"
After the gunshots, Li Ang stepped forward and found that the bristle knitted hat was intact, and the watermelon inside was not damaged.
Li Ang conducted a series of tests and found that bristle knitted items, after adding some soft materials such as bulletproof nylon, aramid fiber, and kylon fiber (mainly to fix the extremely soft bristles and increase the ability to stretch and deform),
The ability to absorb kinetic energy is simply outrageously high.
It can easily block the impact of small and medium-caliber bullets or explosions.
Only when facing machine gun strafing or high-intensity heavy sniper rifle continuous shooting will the watermelon inside directly shatter.
"If you use this whole bundle of back bristles to knit bristle hats, masks, turtlenecks, wool long johns, socks, gloves, and underwear,
Wouldn't that be an all-round, no-dead-angle absolute defense."
Li Ang was simply shocked by his genius idea.
If you are not afraid of being stabbed, these bristle knitted items are simply the strongest soft body armor, and mere bullets are nothing to worry about.
Ordinary sword slashes can also be directly ignored.
"If I had such a full set of wool protective gear in the Williams mansion, I wouldn't have any problem standing there and resisting a few vine spears from the Anomalous Embryo.
And the most perfect thing is that knitting it into a sweater does not affect the original properties of the bristles.
If I improve the level of the forging furnace in the future, I can completely dismantle the full set of sweater protective gear and forge it into other items."
Li Ang estimated that these bristles were just enough for one person's sweater use.
He made continued efforts to completely knit the bristle hat, and thus, a fine-quality defensive equipment was freshly baked.
【Name: Mirage Dragon Red Bristle Hat】
【Type: Armor】
【Quality: Fine】
【Defense: High】
【Effect: Toughness. Indestructible】
【Consumption: None】
【Equipment requirements: None】
【Note: 】
Just like the Bloodworm Crowbar, players can mark notes on the extraordinary items they make themselves.
The Special Affairs Bureau generally marks standard equipment with words such as "If found, please return it to the nearest Special Affairs Bureau office as soon as possible, and there will be a generous reward."
Some auxiliary players who have unlocked skills such as forging and refining also mark the name of the manufacturer and the organization to which they belong on the equipment they create.
Li Ang thought for a while and added a line of remarks at the end of the Mirage Dragon Red Bristle Hat: "Little Red Riding Hood has been wearing a green hat all her life due to color blindness."
