Chapter 286: Expedite the Expedition
Reivyn sheathed his weapon and walked with his father toward the dead snake. Is it a snake or a serpent? Does a giant snake have to be in the water to be considered a serpent, or just a giant snake? Are there even rules?I could have Identified it, but I was too reactive once it attacked. I wonder if Identify works on dead monsters?
He used his Skill on the slain beast.
Snake (dead) Helpful hint: Or is it a serpent?
Reivyn just stared at the cheeky Notification for a moment before shaking his head. Is that the System or the Akashic Record messing with me? More questions with no answers. Another question without an answer, currently: is my Skill too low to give me additional information, or is that what scanning dead things always brings back? Maybe I should scan more things…
Refix was already busy experimenting with the scales of the dead snake - I’m just going to call it a snake - by stabbing it with his sword. After a couple stabs, the blade went through the scale much easier than when the creature was alive. It still took Refix several stabs in the same spot to pierce it, showing that it still had some defensive properties, but it was nothing like when it was alive.
“Must be the absence of Mana or Stamina or whatever flowing through the body,” Refix said, stroking his chin in thought. “That beggars the question: If this is crafted into armor, can we do the same thing with our Mana with similar results?”
“I’d bet money it’s based on whichever Armor Skill said armor is based on,” Teilon spoke up.
“Yeah, I wouldn’t take that bet,” Refix grinned. “Pretty sure you’re right on the money.”
Teilon turned to Kimberly with a smug look.
