"I think this is very useful," Zoe said.
These metal fragments formed after the golden iron binding the jaw of the giant dragon shattered.
Back in the dueling arena, before Li Ang passed out, he felt these fragments were quite mysterious.
"Is there anything else?" Li Ang asked.
Zoe took out a few more pieces.
"I kept the ones that looked better, and stored the rest away."
Li Ang took a fragment; its texture and touch were intriguing.
Feeling it was not entirely smooth, with some friction, yet the surface felt very dense.
It retained a lightness that made it easy to throw, while having the necessary weight, offering a subtle sense of substance, sitting stably in the palm without feeling too light to grasp.
Rather than metal, it felt more like stone.
Moreover, after fracturing, they underwent deformation; instead of retaining jagged sharp edges, they became rounded, as if polished or melted.
The pieces Zoe presented all looked like golden pebbles.
