Chen Mo turned into a tailor and began sewing gloves.
Every stitch was made with care. Using the Green Jade Sword, he cut small holes in the beast hide, then threaded the spiny monster's tentacles through them to connect the pieces.
The spiny monster's tentacles were exceptionally suited for stitching. As long as the technique was right, they could be evenly divided into very fine cords, or even threads as thin as silk. They were also incredibly strong, as tough as steel wire.
Moreover, the threads made from the tentacles were very soft. This was a characteristic they acquired only after being soaked in the sac fluid.
That was also a property of the tentacles. As a result, using them would not reduce the gloves' defensive power.
Likewise, sewing the gloves with tentacle thread would not diminish their protective capabilities.
As an artifact refiner, Chen Mo had no problem with ordinary craftsmanship. Even making vests was not particularly difficult.
But making finely tailored clothing was beyond him. Artifact Refining was one thing, but being a real tailor was another. He had never actually learned it.
Making two pairs of gloves was simple enough. Once the array patterns had been drawn and the pieces sewn together, there would be no problem. Ugly was ugly; he was the one using them anyway.

Of course, in Chen Mo's hands, there was no such thing as being too tough. Not to mention the Green Jade Sword—even the Xiantian Short Sword could cut it, though with some difficulty.
Once the beast hide was combined with the array patterns Chen Mo had drawn and underwent
