Lu Wuqi looked closely at the exquisite dagger in her hand which was completely black in colour with strange red vein like strips running across the blade surface.. It's shiny black blade had a spear pointed shape.
The natal dagger's handle and scabbard were both made of a strange material and the handle gave her the same feeling as the titanium handle of a top grade military daggers.
The scabbard was also completely black in colour with red veins like pattern all over it, extremely similar to the blade itself.
The material of the scabbard also felt like the popular kydex which Lu Wuqi was very familiar with as most of her dagger scabbards were made with this popular material.
But even though, Lu Wuqi felt that the material of the dagger and scabbard as well as the handle was familial to her but it was obviously not.
Because the moment Lu Wuqi touched the dagger and swung it outside slightly, she felt a sharp and particular increase in her swinging speed and power as if she could directly sever the heads of two zombies stacked up together without any obstruction at all!
Lu Wuqi felt a little incredulous by her feelings and examined the dagger even more carefully.
She took the dagger in her hand and the scabbard was in her other hand as she stared closed at the shiny black blade which seemed to give her a chilling feeling on her face and the blade itself was extremely hard to notice in the dark environment. If it wasn't for the red veins like lines on the blade surface which flows particularly more obviously, She definitely would not be able to the dagger in a dark environment like now.
Lu Wuqi roughly estimated that the Dagger's overall length should be about 40 cm. The blade itself was roughly 30 cm long and the handle should be about 10 - 12 cm long. Quite longer for a dagger but felt extremely comfortable in Lu Wuqi's hand. The blade width also seemed to about 5cm at most with the thickness being no more than 2 cm! Seeing the extremely thin blade made Lu Wuqi frown slightly as she couldn't help but feel a little doubtful about the effectiveness of the dagger.
Lu Wuqi stared at the long dagger in her hand and couldn't help but feel that the dagger looked heavy obviously but didn't feel like so at all. The sharp edges of the blade felt like it could cut anything but the extreme weightless feeling and the ultra thin blade made Lu Wuqi frown a little and she couldn't help but mutter silently,
"Can this slender knife even cut a vegetable? It it even better than an axe or a dog legged knife?"
But just as she finished muttering in low voice, the excited voice of the system immediately said in her mind,
"How can you think that host!! This is the best and the most expensive dagger that system has found after searching countless worlds!!
There is only one piece of this knife in existence!!
Don't you feel that there seems to be weight to this knife at all as well as the sharp increase in your swinging power and speed when holding this knife? It's all the special abilities of this natal dagger, host."
After hearing the excited voice of the system as well as it's contents, Lu Wuqi was relieved and before she could say anything, the system again said,
"Now host. Quickly cut a small wound on your finger with the knife and let a drop of your blood fall onto the dagger."
Suddenly hearing the contents of the system, Lu Wuqi couldn't help but frown and said,
"Why? Is it like those Cultivation novels where I have to bind my soul with the knife with my blood?"
Immediately after she said it, the System's excited voice rang again,
"Host!! You are soo smart!! You actually guessed it right!!
Yes, after the drop of your blood is absorbed by the natal dagger, this dagger will be bound by you and it will directly stay in you soul and can be summoned at will, at any time!! It's extremely convenient, isn't it??"
After hearing the system's words, Lu Wuqi smiled slightly but felt the corner of her mouth twitch slightly. Aftet all, it was quite obvious after the system asked her to drop her blood on the blade but the system praised her, she felt as if a mother was enthusiastically praising her little daughter for waking her first step.
Lu Wuqi didn't think much about these thoughts and quickly pressed the blade slightly on her finger and a very shallow cut was made, just enough to let a single drop of blood flow out and directly fall onto the blade.
The moment the blood touched the black blade, Lu Wuqi felt a different kind of spiritual connection with the natal dagger itself as she felt strangely familiar with the knife as if she has used it all her life. She also instinctually understood many functions of the knife.
Lu Wuqi immediately inserted the blade back into the scabbard and with a single thought, the blade immediately disappeared from her hand and Lu Wuqi felt very clearly the existence of the natal dagger in her soul. A weird feeling but no different than normal as if she was supposed to be like that.
Lu Wuqi at this time looked at the shallow would on her hand and couldn't help but frown slightly because having a wound on her fingers meant a greater chance of threat as the zombie blood could get there by accident and she obviously didn't want to be in an uncertain danger of mutation but as she watched the wound, he saw that the wound was miraculously healed at a speed visible to the naked eye and there was not a single cut on the original wounded place anymore! She was a little surprised but the system explained quickly,
"The wound was repaired by the system, host. After all, the indirect cause of the wound is the system and system can never harm the host in any way."
After hearing the system, Lu Wuqi didn't say anything as she didn't want to waste anymore time here and immediately walked back to Yun Qingyue and the child.
Lu Wuqi took only five minutes in the third floor but these five minutes were an extremely tense time of Yun Qingyue and Yunyue.
Yun Qingyue couldn't help but feel a little anxious and worried about Lu Wuqi but she couldn't see inside the third floor at all because of the never ending darkness.
Yunyue was also scared and clung closely into Yun Qingyue's arms and asked softly in an extremely low voice,
"Mom!! Where is mommy?? She will come back right?"
Hearing the soft and pitiful voice of Yunyue, Yun Qingyue came back from her dazed state and immediately comforted the child,
"It's okay, my baby. She will come back soon."
But when she said it, there was a kind of uncertainty in her tone which she herself hadn't noticed but the next moment she immediately felt relieved as she saw a silhouette walking towards them from the darkness inside the third floor!
Yun Qingyue and Yunyue both looked expectantly towards the inside of the glass door and the silhouette was getting closer and closer and .....!
