Chapter 460: 26 treasure chests, the fourth night of winter [Anti-theft]

Zong Shen threw three [Magic Heat Balls] again.

Relying on the shielding of the small iceberg, a thermally bound area was formed.

Try to alleviate the impact of low temperature on everyone as much as possible.

This world is indeed very different from Earth, especially in terms of personal force.

Pull out a third-level warrior or mage at random, and if you put it on the earth, it will be an extraordinary existence that can defeat five or six people. It has strong mental power and exaggerated strength attributes.

But at this extreme low temperature that can change the properties of steel, without any means and plans, it is just a dead end.

In an emergency, Zong Shen can respond to the cold invasion by activating [Hot Shield], [Sacrificial Fire] or entering [Demon State] to transform his body into a demonic shadow.

But this is not a long-term solution after all. Anyone who has no iron in his head will not fight against the temperature changes of nature.

This is only a windless and snowless environment of minus 50 degrees Celsius. It is difficult to imagine what the extreme low temperature in the third stage of winter, minus 70 degrees Celsius, will be like.

The warming of the climate caused the snow to collapse into melted ice, and the arrival of extreme cold turned the melted ice into solid ice.

Now everyone is walking on a natural ice rink. If they wear boots with sharp ice blades, they will be able to walk smoothly on the ice.

This time, Zong Shen learned from the previous lessons and began to fear the winter challenge.

He put away his utilitarianism and decided to return now.

In another hour and a half, the extremely cold and super cold water ice rain will fall.

Judging from the current temperature, the intensity of this ice rain will definitely far exceed that of the second stage.

Luna had just reported to him using the communication crystal, and they had already started their return trip.

Due to the difference in efficiency, they had only obtained a total of 7 winter treasure chests from the time they set off in the afternoon until now, while Zong Shen had already obtained 19, one of which had been opened.

The remaining 18 are in his storage compartment. Together with Luna and Vereesa's harvest, Zong Shen got a total of 26 winter treasure chests. After returning to the territory, he can comfortably open 25 indivual!

The harvest from each of these chests will be comparable to that of the Silver Chest.

Only 1,000 winter treasure chests will appear in each area. These treasure chests are quietly scattered on the earth and sealed by solid icebergs.

It's not that easy to get.

Zong Shen's harvest is equivalent to 2.6% of the regional winter treasure chest.

This is the result of nearly twelve hours of hard work, and it is also the result of grouping.

In addition, the [Magic Drilling Machine] also contributed a lot.

For an ordinary lord, it would be good if he could obtain one or two winter treasure chests in the same period of time.

Zong Shen took everyone to rest for a while.

Throw the four simply processed bodies of the ice skull-crushing birds into the cargo hold of the loader mecha.

"Let's return now."

"Two of the three thermal spheres will be placed on the Weight Bearer."

"We're too far out of territory."

"Only by returning now can we get back to the territory before the super-cold water ice rain comes."

Zong Shen said simply, a layer of ice had already condensed on his helmet.

Even through the helmet, he could feel the sting of cold on his face.

Especially when talking, the water vapor exhaled from the mouth freezes almost quickly.

Everyone nodded, whether it was Doris, Aysia, Farvid, or other casual Austrians, their heads were buried in the sheepskin, with only a pair of eyes exposed.

Activities outside in this kind of weather are simply asking for trouble.

Zong Shen didn't need to explain anything, and everyone quickly took their places.

Doris is still responsible for piloting the Heavy Bearer.

Zong Shen also took Aixia directly back to the cockpit of the drilling machine.

Close the glass hatch, take out the remaining thermal ball, and place it in the cockpit to activate it.

The temperature difference between the inside and outside was so great that a thin layer of frost began to spread on the entire glass cover.

After wiping it with your hands, it will quickly appear again, seriously affecting the vision in the cockpit.

Fortunately, Zong Shen has his own means, and he doesn't necessarily have to rely on naked eye observation to drive the [Magic Drilling Machine].

From a certain point of view, the strategy module can also be used as his eyes, and it is even more intuitive than the eyes. He started the drilling machine, and at the same time, with a thought, he began to call for help from the strategy module.

Golden lines built a virtual path in front of him, and there were golden arrows on the side to dynamically guide him in the direction, and also marked the distance to the destination.

This effect is similar to the HUD navigation on a professional racing car, plus holographic interactive AR.

Of course, this is just a metaphor. With the help of small assistants, let alone the problem of poor vision.

Even if Zong Shen is blind, he can drive a drilling machine on the ice for a fast and furious game.

At this time, everyone was eager to return home, including Zong Shen.

Whether it's to avoid danger or to rest, it's time to return to the territory.

Zong Shen drove the drilling machine, adjusted the angle and direction, and headed towards the territory at the lead.

…

An hour later, Zong Shen parked the drilling machine firmly outside the [Magic Palace].

At Aysia's request, Zong Shen sent her directly here.

The shelter of the building and the continuous heating of the large furnace make the temperature in the [Magic Palace] quite suitable. Meditation has many functions for the mage.

Not only can it quickly restore magic points, but it can also improve some wisdom attributes to a certain extent.

In addition, meditation can replace ordinary sleep, allowing the body and mind to recover and relax.

Coupled with the special practice effect of the meditation room, Aisia can't wait to spend time here every day.

In today's treasure hunting trip, Aisiya did not play her due role.

As a fourth-level holy light priest, she could only watch Zong Shen and Doris' actions from the sidelines.

She is now becoming more and more eager to improve her strength.

After Zong Shen sent her to the [Magic Palace], he left without saying anything else.

Doris pilots the Loader at a slower speed than the drill.

She also needs to return the warriors and prey to the living area.

Together, the two groups killed at least a hundred ice beasts today.

These captain-level guys can provide a lot of excellent materials, as well as a lot of meat.

Take the ice field snow pythons that Zong Shen killed in the afternoon. Each one was as thick as an adult's waist and about ten meters long. If the internal organs were opened and the scales were peeled off, each one would leave at least one to two hundred kilograms. meat.

In any case, these are high-quality foods. Captain-level beast meat contains more energy than ordinary cattle and sheep. After being made into food, it can more easily replenish hunger and fullness and restore physical energy consumption.

These materials and meat are also considered additional gains.

Before returning to the lord's courtyard, Zong Shen made a special trip to the business district.

When I arrived at the [First Level Market] there, I prepared to put up for sale the 377 pieces of [Sewn Sheepskin Jackets] I brought from Alanna at noon.

There are now less than eleven hours before the end of the Winter Challenge, and Zong Shen no longer has high expectations for subsequent sales.

Taking advantage of the end of winter, sell as much as you can.

The [First Level Market] here is covered with a thick ice curtain.

The ice half a palm thick blocked the entrance and exit. In order to save time, Zong Shen chose to let the drilling machine go out again.

When the thick main drill bit began to rotate and the alloy drill tip touched the ice curtain, it didn't take long for the entire ice curtain to fall into pieces.

Zong Shen skillfully shut down the drilling rig and tipped it backwards into a suitable position.

Then he jumped out of the cockpit and entered the [market].

Of these 377 [sewn sheepskin jackets], Zong Shen listed all of them for sale with 120 resources each.

This price is almost 40% lower than the initial selling price.

The need for cold protection in the cold winter was much lower than he had imagined before. Fortunately, these cold protection materials basically cost no money. Part of them came from Alanna's sewing, and part of them came from Baron Bezos's gifts and prior purchases.

Because he had the upper hand, and the cold-proof materials were of little use to the aborigines here, he did not spend much money when purchasing.

To sum up, he has recovered his costs very early and even made a fortune.

The current changes have only reduced his expected profits, but they do not hinder his vested interests.

There is only half a day left in the Winter Challenge. If you can sell one more copy, it is equivalent to earning one more copy.

As for the remaining winter supplies that cannot be sold, just treat them as emergency reserves in the territory.

As a qualified territory, it is necessary to reserve various supplies to cope with various climate changes.

Just like Boss State, run by Baron Bezos, the state's material warehouse still stocks cold-proof materials, even if this area is not cold at all.

In the two coldest months of the year, the temperature remains at 5°C above zero.

The warm and humid air blowing from the East China Sea will keep it relatively warm and humid.

But Bosbon still needs to stock up on these rarely used cold-warming supplies.

The purpose is to be able to deal with unexpected situations, not only in terms of climate, but also in dealing with monsters that possess the power of frost magic.

In other words, you may not need these things, but you must prepare them.

Zong Shen deeply agrees with this concept of being prepared.

This batch of materials will be stored in the [warehouse] of the territory.

It happened that he obtained the drawings of the [Warehouse] a long time ago.

After listing the [Sewn Sheepskin Jacket] for sale.

Zong Shen drove the drilling machine back to the lord's courtyard.

He put the drill away. Today's treasure hunting trip caused the front-end drill to lose about one-fifth of its durability.

Its work is no less intense than drilling through a granite mountain for hours on end.

The ice layer on the ground is as high as the steps outside the small building.

This is the result of the melting and shrinkage of the snow, but no matter how thick the ice is, it is easier to walk on than the soft and accumulated snow. It is simply unimaginable that the snow can bury a person alive.

He stepped forward resolutely, and the non-slip chain spikes under his boots dug into the ice, making a crisp "bang" sound.

When he opened the door of the lord's small building, warm air suddenly blew out.

Colliding with the cold air outdoors, a thin white mist bursts out.

The comfort level inside the small building cannot be compared to the cold outside.

Zong Shen walked quickly inside, turned around and closed the door.

The thick solid wood door isolates the cold from the invasion, and the magic chandelier is not turned on in the house. Only the fireplace with lit pine tar blocks is dazzling, illuminating the hall with an orange-red color.

The shadows on the wall were stretched infinitely, and there was silence in the Lord's small building.

There was only the soft crackling sound of burning pine tar blocks.

The four nights in the dead of winter were even more peaceful than the previous few days.

"Sir...you are back."

Luna's voice came from the living room. She was leaning on the chair and looking at Zong Shen with hazy eyes.

She was easily tired when it was cold, so this afternoon she and Vereesa were ordered to go on an expedition.

This made Luna even more sleepy and tired.

They returned to the lord's small building just over an hour earlier than Zong Shen.

Now Vereesa and Mariel have also gone upstairs to rest, but she is the only one who insists on staying in the hall, waiting for Zong Shen's return.

Zong Shen saw Luna and immediately took off his helmet.

The thin layer of ice on the metal helmet began to melt, and drops of water dripped from the edge of the helmet onto the ground.

His eyes looked at Luna, and the warmth on his face almost filled the entire hall.

He just opened his hands and walked up quickly.

Luna's beautiful eyes looked slightly, and she also stood up from the chair, with a trace of expectation in her eyebrows.

When Zong Shen came to her, he threw the helmet on the ground.

The silver-white face-covered battle helmet collided with the stone ground, making a "clang" sound.

Zong Shen opened his arms and hugged Luna tightly.

A warm embrace can make people feel happy, especially in this dark and quiet hall.

The two hugged each other quietly for four or five minutes.

In the end, it was Luna who twisted her body first, turned her head, and whispered in Zong Shen's ear.

"Sir, I will give you the treasure chest I harvested today."

"From two o'clock in the afternoon to eleven o'clock in the evening, we broke a total of seven small icebergs."

"I got seven winter treasure chests and killed 37 ice beasts."

Luna reported in a gentle tone, blowing warm wind from her mouth, gently brushing Zong Shen's earlobe, making his ears feel a little itchy.

After mentioning the treasure chest, Zong Shenke became excited again.

This time he can unbox it and enjoy it!

Except for the first treasure chest that has been opened.

This round, he can open twenty-five more winter treasure chests.

Thinking of this, Zong Shen slowly let go of his hand and pulled Luna to the long table.

With a wave of his hand, blue and white treasure chests engraved with the patterns of mammoth beasts suddenly appeared on the table. They were stacked on top of each other, occupying almost half of the long table.

Luna also began to take out the treasure boxes they harvested today from the storage compartment one by one.
