Chapter 1456: Initiating the Pursuit

"Is this thing really stronger than metal weapons?" Cheng Ziang looked it over with his head lowered, then curiously looked up to ask.

"Of course," Zisu nodded and said, "As you've seen, there aren't many metal weapons on the island. For one thing, Aximiya Island doesn't produce iron, so it must be imported from the Continent. On the other hand, the climate on Aximiya Island is too humid, and metal weapons would need to be frequently maintained in this environment, or they would easily rust. Ironheart Wood doesn't have this problem; this type of wood is highly resistant to decay, and its hardness is nearly on par with metal, which is why many tools and even weapons are made from Ironheart Wood."

Cheng Ziang nodded, lightly scraped the blade of the machete with his hand, and found it was indeed quite sharp, but the edge also had quite a few notches, suggesting it was frequently used in combat.
