Chapter 428 Investigate the Situation, the Combat Team Gathers 【Subscription】

Those nail marks are the marks left by the anti-slip thorns.

When Zong Shen strolled to the gate of the lord's small building.

I saw the door with my own eyes.

He just knew why it wouldn't move.

The entire gate was sealed with ice, although the ice layer was not as exaggerated as the one on the ground.

But it is also extremely solid, forming a closed ice shell.

In the position corresponding to the gate, there are not very obvious cracks.

This is the result of Zong Shen pushing the door hard before.

Now he's ready to break the ice from the outside.

This will not break the door of the small building.

After a brief thought.

He flipped his hand and took out a weapon.

Heavy pestle on the ground!

The ice outside the porch left a cobweb-like pestle mark.

This is a trident about two meters long.

The shape is somewhat similar to the long handle harpoon.

The thorn in the middle is longer, and the thorns on the sides are shorter.

The whole body is black, and the surface is dull and looks like rough cast iron.

There is no fancy decoration on the long handle, just a simple pattern in circles, which can increase the friction of the grip.

The end of the pestle that is now on the ground has a conical impact head.

This trident was the one Zong Shen had found in the Bone Burial Bunker.

Rare quality [Wind, Fire and Thunder Trident].

I don't know if it was the weapon of the blood-burning demon or the weapon of the strong in the alliance army.

The weight of this thing is not light, it is no less than the [Broken Calamity Giant Spear].

Now it is very suitable for breaking the ice outside the door.

Zong Shen flicked his wrist lightly and waved the trident.

As he waved, an elemental power appeared on each of the three halberd thorns.

There are scorching flames, sharp wind blades, and shining electric lights.

There is no doubt that this is a weapon full of special effects.

However, Zong Shen did not intend to use the halberd thorn to break the ice. Instead, he aimed the conical impact head at the tail at the ice layer outside the gate, and began to gouge hard.

With the blessing of 135 points of strength attribute, the cone-shaped impact head can chisel a gap the size of the mouth of the bowl every time, and the shattered ice cubes splash around.

Zong Shen continued to chisel along the crack for more than ten times, and finally chiseled a large piece of ice.

Looking at the amazing thickness, Zong Shen secretly clicked his tongue.

His homeland on earth is in the South, where snow falls only occasionally.

And it's all short-lived snow that falls in the morning and melts at noon.

When he chiseled the ice with his own hands, he realized how terrifying the freezing rain just now was.

After opening a breach, the next ice-breaking work becomes simple.

Zong Shen dug along the gap with brute force, and built the ice wall piece by piece.

The ground was full of large chunks of solid ice, as well as scattered pieces of ice.

After a minute or two, he cut through all the ice covering the gate.

The door opened, and Luna and Vereesa came out first.

Behind them, the sisters Mariel and the Dragonborn Ranger walked out slowly.

Stepping on the broken ice carefully, they walked outside the eaves, surrounded by each other, staring at the bizarre frozen scene in a trance.

Because of the large-scale freezing, the ground is as smooth as a mirror, and everything in sight is covered by ice. This scene is completely different from usual, and it looks very strange, with a sense of fantasy like a fairy tale world.

Small snow drifted in the sky and fell on the thick layer of ice, still maintaining the appearance of crystalline snowflakes, and began to re-accumulate in the form of dry snow.

Although the ultra-cold and freezing rain has stopped, and the wind and snow is not a wife, but according to the tips of the guide, the temperature is much colder than the first stage of the cold winter.

A golden temperature number appeared in front of him.

(-27℃)

Although this temperature is not comparable to the polar temperature, it is already the standard northern temperature.

With every breath, Zong Shen could feel a cooling sensation from his trachea and lungs.

Zong Shen took out a pair of anti-slip thorns and handed it to the sisters Vereesa and Ranger.

He himself carried the trident and walked outside the lord's courtyard on the ice.

The [Second-Order Market] on the side has completely turned into an igloo.

A row of icicles about one meter in length hangs down from the eaves on both sides.

The half-open entrance is like a frozen waterfall, and the surface is uneven with traces of flowing and then freezing.

Zong Shen just glanced at it, and had no idea of ​​entering, nor did he want to carry out deicing operations.

Now he has a more important task, which is to find the traces of the snow monster.

According to the previous announcement, after entering the second stage of winter, in addition to the further reduction of the temperature and the continued bad weather, 10,000 commander-level snow monsters will be refreshed in each area.

Killing these snow monsters can earn points, and each head represents 1000 challenge points.

Comparable to those Crypt Heroes in the Crypt Challenge.

In addition, as a commander-level monster, every time Zong Shen kills a snow monster, in addition to getting points, he can also get 125 points of power extraction.

In daily life, it is not too easy for him to get 1500 extraction points at a time.

This kind of skill must take advantage of the opportunity of the lord challenge event and work hard to split the wool.

Vereesa put on a non-slip thorn and stood beside Zong Shen.

Luna also rode out the Sentinel Panther.

Mariel stood at the door, looking out with lingering fear, and finally gritted her teeth and walked out with the two sisters, the Dragonborn Ranger.

She was not equipped with anti-slip thorns, and could only be supported by two ranger sisters, one on the left and one on the right.

Zong Shen turned around and saw Mariel staggering.

He slammed the trident on the ground with force, and let it be stuck on the ice.

Immediately after that, he turned back and walked over quickly, came to the front of Mariel, bent slightly, and wrapped his strong arms directly around Mariel's waist,

Then he stood up straight and carried Mariel's whole body on his body.

The attractive buttocks () flaps show an amazing arc.

"what…"

"Sir, you..."

Mariel froze in place, and only let out a coquettish cry when Zong Shen picked it up.

"What are you doing out?"

"Just stay in the lord's small building and have a good rest."

"We're getting ready to fight."

"We can't take you with us to prevent climate change."

Zong Shen said softly, his tone was very gentle, but there was a little domineering in his words.

He carried Mariel up the steps, bent down again and put her down smoothly.

Mariel's face had already turned red, like a ripe red apple.

Zong Shen scratched his head in embarrassment.

"Sir, you should also pay attention to safety..."

"Maryl will be obediently at home waiting for you to come back."

She lowered her head and said timidly.

Zong Shen was inexplicably guilty when he heard it, he was used to it.

I just carried it away just to save time.

But now, no matter how dull he is, he also understands that Mariel has long had supernatural feelings for her subordinates, including admiration, worship, and pure love.

"My damn charm."

Zong Shen laughed awkwardly. He didn't know how to face it for a while, so he nodded hastily, turned around and left the lord's small building.

This time, he moved so fast that he almost stepped out of the ice.

The slippery ice didn't bother him.

"call…"

"Vereesa, you should inform Doris now."

"Let her bring the Dragon Transformation Spear Shield Warrior Squad and the Wolf Cavalry Squad over here."

"At the same time, go to the Magic Palace again and call Faved, Tasiya, and Aishia."

After walking outside the lord's courtyard, Zong Shen breathed a sigh of relief, and then instructed Vereesa.

The latter nodded simply, and immediately took out the communication crystal and started to connect.

Zong Shen was not idle either, he took out the [Magic Mechanical Falcon] and activated it.

The mechanical falcon spread its wings and quickly flew into the sky.

As a magical mechanical product, the pure cold temperature will not have any effect on it.

Unless it's an extreme blizzard or another super-cold icy rain.

Falcons hovered hundreds of meters in the air.

His other hand was holding the projection crystal, and a falcon's observation perspective appeared in front of him.

Looking down on the entire territory from a high altitude, the [Leiyu Wonder] covering an area of ​​10,000 square meters and the [Statue of the Craftsman] with a height of 100 meters are very eye-catching and spectacular.

Neither epic buildings nor incomplete spectacles were affected much by the super cold freezing rain, and they were not even frozen.

Zong Shen stared at the falcon's perspective, and controlled the mechanical falcon to fly towards the periphery of the territory.

Start patrolling along the perimeter, trying to find traces of the Yeti.

Judging by the area of ​​the area and the number of snow monsters to be refreshed, there should be an average of four square kilometers. Unfortunately, the second stage will only refresh the snow monsters alone, and there will be no other iceland groups and monsters.

It is not easy to find the Yeti on the ice that has been frozen into a vast expanse of white.

Zong Shen controlled the magic mechanical falcon to fly around the territory.

In the area covered by the high-altitude view of the falcon, no trace of the yeti was found.

The ice surface was covered with a thin layer of falling snow, and the entire earth was white from a falcon's perspective.

Zong Shen was almost tired of seeing.

Now, he can only choose to take back the mechanical falcon.

After more than ten minutes of flight, the body of the mechanical falcon was covered with some snowflakes.

Coupled with the surging airflow during flight, its body gradually showed a tendency to freeze.

During the operation, Zong Shen could clearly feel that the mechanical falcon's motion feedback was getting stiffer and stiffer.

After retracting the falcon, it can be seen that its body has been covered with ice edges as thick as a thumb. Standing on the ground and flying in the air, the cold it faces is completely different.

Under the notice of Vereesa, Doris had already started to act, driving the modified snow shovel version of the heavy-bearer mecha to gallop on the ice surface.

Taking advantage of this gap, Zong Shen decided to ask about the strategy tips and predict a wave of future weather.

With the lessons of the super cold and ice rain before, Zong Shen has now changed his leisurely mentality in the first stage of the cold winter and began to face the challenge this time.

"Please tell me what the weather will change next."

(After 47 minutes, the light snow will turn into moderate snow, and after 4 hours and 47 minutes, that is, at 6:00 pm, the moderate snow will turn into heavy snow, and then the heavy snow will continue until 3:00 in the morning. 10 a.m.)

For the information that has been clear, the strategy prompts can quickly give feedback.

At the same time, this also shows that the climate change of the Winter Challenge is indeed arranged by the lord system.

After reading the weather that followed, Zong Shen knew what to expect.

Now most of the lords are scared by the super cold ice rain just now.

And the slippery frozen ice layer is also a big obstacle for the lords to go out.

Fangs can only scare cowards, the real hunting time has just begun!

Behind him, in addition to Vereesa, the two ranger sisters with anti-slip thorns were also on standby.

Luna roamed aside while riding the Sentinel Panther.

Except for some frozen feet, the black panther did not feel uncomfortable at all.

Zong Shen was also worried that these riding beasts would have obstacles in walking on the ice.

It was not until he saw the Sentinel Black Panther that he realized that he was overthinking it.

I saw the fan-sized paws on the limbs of the sentinel black panther, and five sharp curved claws stretched out.

To know that as jungle panthers, these guys have all the good characteristics of cats.

Sharp claws are not only their weapons, but can also be used to climb trees.

Now it has become the best gripper for walking on ice.

It is equivalent to bringing a set of non-slip thorns in action.

The same is true for those prairie wolves, although they are not as stable as the black panther when walking on the ice.

But there will be no obvious slippage.

This is also because their claws come in great use.

Compared with the thick snow, the pure ice layer did not affect their movements as much as Zong Shen imagined.

Doris moved quickly, and the dragon-shaped gun and shield warriors sat on the cargo hold behind the weight-bearer mech with their shields up.

A team of wolf cavalry, led by Colby, followed on both sides of the weight-bearer mecha.

Two flanks are formed, looking down from a high altitude, it looks like a Λ shape led by a load-bearing mecha.

In the perspective of the magic mechanical falcon just now, they are rushing towards the magic palace.

It should also be on the way to the confluence in the central area by now.

According to the exploration screen from the mechanical falcon's perspective, no snow monster was found.

This is still very unusual, after all, the Falcon can just explore the limit of three kilometers.

From a bird's-eye view at a height of several hundred meters, at least a rough view of dozens of square kilometers can be seen, but during the entire exploration, not a single snow monster was found.

This is obviously unreasonable.

Zong Shen therefore deduced that those commander-level snow monsters must have mastered some special stealth or stealth skills, and were able to hide themselves with the help of the ice and snow environment.

So Zong Shen also gave up the idea of ​​using the magic mechanical falcon to investigate.

"Please mark the location of the snow monster closest to the territory."

He directly asked about the strategy module.

As soon as this thought appeared, it was immediately responded.

Several golden circle marks appeared in his field of vision!
