From Abyssal Invasion to Bursting Stars with a Single Sword-Chapter 113 - 103: Encounter with the Horned Demon Commander Again
Inside Quenching Castle.
Gulu was playing with cockroaches in front of the courtyard's flowerbed, and he never tired of feeding the Cannibal Flowers with them.
"Hey! You're here. These bugs are really interesting. I catch them to feed every day, but there are always more. You can't catch them all."
Lu Heng sighed, holding his forehead, "Well, they're said to be the strongest creatures on Blue Star."
Gulu looked surprised: "So these little critters are that powerful? If I keep using them to feed the flowers, won't I anger their queen?"
Lu Heng wasn't concerned about that at all, replying, "Don't worry about that, feed them all you like. The worst they could do is annoy you to death."
With a look of having learned something new, Gulu asked, "Quite interesting. Can you eat these bugs?"
Lu Heng's face twitched as he said, "Theoretically...they're not really fit to eat, but if you insist on eating them, it's not impossible. It's just that..."
Gulu didn't wait to hear more, quickly asking, "What's the usual cooking method?"
Lu Heng's facial twitching worsened, "They're usually roasted, I guess?"
Gulu nodded thoughtfully, "Next time you come, I'll roast a plate for us to try."
"Thanks, but I'll pass," Lu Heng said, knowing this was no joke. The Abyss Black Iron Dwarves did, in fact, eat bugs, so he quickly declined.
"That's a real pity," Gulu said, a bit disappointed.

He stood up, gestured to the entrance, and asked, "That person outside has been waiting at the door for a long time. Do you think I should see him?"
Lu Heng shrugged, "It's up to you if you want to see him. If you want Quenching Castle to be more lively, you could let more people in."
"Make Quenching Castle more lively?"
Gulu began to seriously consider this, but it took him a while to get back to business, "Are you here today for Weapon Quenching?"
"No, I want to reforge the Aurora Blade," Lu Heng said as he took out both the Aurora Blade and the Scarlet Blood Sword to show him.
Gulu took the two swords, examining them closely, "Wow! This is a Bloodline Demon's sword. Did you kill a Bloodline Demon?"
"Yes, a very powerful Bloodline Sword Demon," Lu Heng emphasized the demon's strength a bit.
"Haven't seen a Scarlet weapon of such a high level in a long time. Using this as Forging Materials is definitely great. Come with me," Gulu said, grabbing both swords and dashing into the forge.
After running into the forge, he changed into a Forging Master's attire, turned around and declared firmly, "Dear Lu Heng, let me introduce myself again. I am Forging Master Gulu, pleased to meet you."
Lu Heng's mouth twitched as he responded in kind, "Pleased to meet you... Master Gulu."
The Abyss Black Iron Dwarves excelled in forging and Quenching Skills. The Bansel Clan had learned their forging and quenching skills from the Abyss Black Iron Dwarves.
Thus, Gulu indeed possessed both skills.
So, he was the last surviving master of both forging and quenching skills among the Abyss Black Iron Dwarves.
In his previous life, Lu Heng had learned Quenching, but not forging, so he planned to entrust this weapon's reforging to Gulu.
After all, the Aurora Blade was originally his creation; it was only natural that he should be the one to reforge it.
Gulu first put on a monocle-style magnifying glass, examining the Aurora Blade, while drawing forging blueprints on the table, "This sword has gained a lot of experience with you... yes... and suffered many hardships, even the blade has nicks."
It was normal for the Aurora Blade, having gone through many fierce battles, to have some minor damages.
Moreover, he was using a magnifying glass to inspect it.
The first time he entered the Abyss Battlefield, the Aurora Blade's level was enough to handle the combat.
But after the second time on the Abyss Battlefield, the level of the Aurora Blade started to feel a bit low.
This time in combat against the Bloodline Sword Demon, it clashed directly against a Level B Scarlet Blood Sword.
Luckily, the Aurora Blade was now at +7 and had double Special Effects, otherwise it could have been suppressed by the Level B weapon and easily broken.
Since the Aurora Blade was originally forged by Gulu, he was very familiar with its craftsmanship and materials.
After the inspection, he turned and ran to open a chest of Forging Materials, rummaging through, "Not this one... not this one... darn, seems like there's no suitable material left."
Lu Heng hoped the reforging of the Aurora Blade could raise its level, and enhancing the level certainly required the addition of materials.
The Scarlet Blood Sword would be the primary material, but other auxiliary materials would undoubtedly be necessary.
Therefore, Lu Heng volunteered, "What materials do you need? I'll see if I can buy them."
As Gulu searched the chest, he replied, "Definitely not for sale. What I want is a High Rank Horned Demon's horn. That material is both hard and tough. If I can get a High Rank Horned Demon's horn, I'm confident I can forge the Aurora Blade to a higher level."
Lu Heng heard this request and felt somewhat helpless.
High Rank Horned Demon's horns, they weren't easy to come by.
Thinking it over, to date, he had encountered only two High Rank Horned Demons.
One in the Evil God's Burial Ground, a Fiery Flame Horned Demon Commander.
The other, on his first time on the Abyss Battlefield, the Horned Demon Commander.
The Fiery Flame Horned Demon Commander was already dead, but since he hadn't taken the horns, they were likely held by the Bansel Clan in Stone Hammer Castle by now.
And since he hadn't chosen the Space Anchor Point from the three-choice reward for completing the World Task, he couldn't go to Stone Hammer Castle, and couldn't get that pair of horns.
As for the Horned Demon Commander...
Lu Heng suddenly had an idea and asked, "Master, do you still have a way to return to the previous Abyss World? I'll just go and take down that Horned Demon Commander."
