Krez had been traveling for quite some time. The temperature continued to rise as he ventured farther north.He had a hunch that the farther north he traveled, the greater the chance of encountering a cultivator city. After all, mortals could not endure such temperatures. Reflecting on how long the journey from the Outer Reaches was, he thought the name was truly fitting.
On one of his travel days, Krez encountered a herd of hardened earth rhinos. What made these rhinos unique was not only their tough hide, but also their alloyed horns, both are one-star materials.Krez utilized the alloys and Hide in his nightly crafting practice, supplementing his efforts with study from the one-star crafting manual.
