Chapter 449 Difficult Hunting Trip, the Third Night of Winter 【Subscription】
Judging from the current situation, this measure should be able to play some role.
[Magic Heat Ball] is continuously consuming mana, generating a force field that slowly warms up.
This force field does not have a fixed range and shape, it is just a heating zone.
It will also be affected by the external climate, just like under the moderate sleet now.
The scope of the heating force field is further reduced, and the speed of heating can barely compete with the speed of elapse.
The back of the cargo hold was wet, and there were a lot of water droplets on the bodies of the soldiers.
In this case, it is impossible to make the soldiers feel warm.
The heat ball can only play its best role in a relatively closed environment.
However, as long as it can slow down the passage of heat, it is enough for Zong Shen.
The heat converted from the magic energy will replace the body temperature of some warriors.
Zong Shen stood on the spot, inspecting the soldiers, and at the same time handing out quivers and bundles of crossbow arrows, this time Zong Shen used fine-grade arrows with an extra 8 piercing damage bonus.
The masters also received a small bottle of magic spring. In addition to the cooling, the magic value is the magic value. As long as the magic value is enough, the masters can continue to output through the magic arrow without cooling.
This time, he wants to further improve the hunting efficiency, not only to prolong the combat time, but also to improve the output efficiency. After this round of hunting, from midnight to tomorrow, the whole land will be covered with heavy snow. Covered with a sandwich-like layer of ice.
Colby still led the wolf riding team, but there were some changes in the members.
The two wolf cavalry warriors who lost the warg were assigned by him to the fourth squad, which was temporarily understaffed.
He recruited two wolf cavalry soldiers who were in good condition to fill in, and even the excellent equipment that Zong Shen had previously changed for the first team was also replaced.
Only in this way, the first team can always maintain the best combat effectiveness.
Zong Shen has no objection to this. The wolf cavalry who lost the Warg cannot continue to undertake the task of hunting and killing. Now Mariel is working hard to collect the construction materials for the [Land of the Giant Wolf].
With the current financial resources of the territory, and Mariel's regular inspections of the [Market], it should not take long to gather the materials needed for the [Lair of the Giant Wolf].
The only thing that is uncertain is the [complete purple soul]. This matter can only be left to Zong Shen to find a way. These winter snow monsters are mass-produced monsters that have been adjusted and reproduced by the lord system.
They can't explode their souls, and if they want to get their souls, they still have to hit those native monsters on the continent.
After the construction of the [Giant Wolf's Nest] is completed, five Tier 3 giant wolves will be recruited from it every week.
Colby is now a Tier 3 giant wolf cavalry, and the Warg he rides under his crotch is a Tier 3 giant wolf.
This kind of giant wolf is taller than the second-order wolves, and also has stronger fighting and defensive power. Its fangs are like two pairs of daggers.
The hair all over his body is gray-white, and the roots stand upright, like gray-white spikes.
If you can replace the second-order wolf cavalry with a third-order giant wolf as a horse-riding beast.
Then the combat effectiveness of these fighters can also be improved by a grade.
Coupled with excellent standard equipment, these wolf cavalry soldiers can have a combat effectiveness far exceeding that of Tier 2 soldiers and slightly lower than Tier 3 soldiers.
Dressing like this can be considered an informal soldier DIY.
After distributing the necessary supplies and inspecting the team.
Zong Shen jumped on Luna's weight-bearer mecha and took over the driver's seat.
Luna hurriedly mounted the Sentinel Panther, and led the huntress team to stand by.
Dragonized spear and shield warrior Katis also took Vereesa's place.
Everything was ready, Zong Shen waved his hand, and took the lead in starting the weight-bearer mecha.
This time, he drove towards the due west of the territory, aiming to drag the Winter Snow Monsters in the range of 10 to 20 kilometers.
The two sets of wheel belts carried the heavy fuselage and rolled over the ice layer, and the frivolous and fragile melting ice layer was crushed and burst open.
The large metal snow shovel in front shoveled up a piece of snow and melted ice on the road ahead. Because the soil was under the solid ice layer, the snow was relatively clean and generally white.
They piled higher and higher in front of the shovels, making the weight-bearer mech more resistant to travel.
When these deposits reach a certain height, they will be discharged towards the sides of the snow shovel.
Scattered on the side of the road where the weight-bearer mechs drove by.
Facing the snowstorm and severe cold, Zong Shen and the others started the third snow monster hunt.
All the soldiers did not say a word, but silently clenched their weapons.
At the same time, wrap the warm clothes on your body tighter.
This is destined to be another long, boring, tiring journey.
Everyone is mentally prepared for this, they are warriors, they will not give in to the weather.
...
After more than five hours, it was almost nine o'clock in the evening.
In the evening, the snowstorm arrived as expected.
In the case of wind and snow, everyone persisted for another two hours.
After arranging the [Magic Heat Ball], it can indeed relieve the cold of travel to a certain extent.
However, it is still indispensable to take a temporary rest, drink hot water, and eat some high-calorie foods.
Zong Shen still parked the two weight-bearer mechas against the wind, forming a simple windshield.
A part of the cold wind was blocked, allowing everyone to breathe a sigh of relief.
This hunting trip was very fruitful, although there were some small twists and turns and episodes along the way.
But overall, it still maintains Zong Shen's usual steady style.
The wolf cavalry became more cautious. Because the archers replaced the reserves of fine-grade arrows, the killing efficiency was greatly increased, and the time to kill a winter snow monster was further reduced, from five minutes to about three minutes.
Almost two-thirds of the arrows were recovered from the corpse of the Winter Snow Monster each time.
Zongshen, who used to be a whiteboard-level arrow, could not care, but the fine-level arrows used now are different.
The damage rate of these arrows is much lower than that of whiteboard arrows, and the corresponding recovery value is also greater.
In the previous period of time, there were tens of thousands of high-quality arrows that the territory forged and exchanged, and the reserve ratio of arrows and crossbow arrows was basically 50%.
In this hunting trip, everyone killed a total of 34 winter snow monsters.
This made them pursue the killing until they came to a place more than 20 kilometers southwest of the territory.
Since Zong Shen exhausted his points at noon, he now has 45,600 points again.
In other words, Doris and the others also hunted down 11 snow monsters.
Many measures and preparations have greatly improved the efficiency of hunting.
But the corresponding consumption is also huge.
Using the heat ball in this exposed environment increases its load a lot.
Durability drops a third faster than normal use.
There is also the loss of fine-grade arrows, which is also not a small amount.
At least 3,000 arrows and crossbow bolts were left in various parts of the earth and could not be recovered in time.
In addition, the physical strength of the soldiers also appeared obvious overdraft.
They are cold, weak, and sleepy, and desperately need to return to their warm living quarters, eat a warm dinner, and sleep comfortably on simple bedding.
Flesh human beings cannot move tirelessly like machines.
These are the costs of hunting, and the points are not obtained out of thin air, and the hard work and effort involved can only be experienced by the parties involved.
Such brutal and direct hunting is not something that all lords can do.
Other people's flood and beast, one's own nectar prey.
"Five minutes of rest and we'll go back."
"Colds are as pervasive as ghosts, they take away body heat and make us miserable."
Zong Shen exhaled a breath of heat, and he was also attacked by the cold.
This made him feel more distressed for these brave and fearless warriors.
Because of the difference in physical attributes, they actually felt more painful than Zong Shen felt.
Zong Shen put several heat balls together to create a fairly stable heat zone.
Soothes the pain caused by the loss of body temperature and the invasion of cold.
He could hardly imagine the scene when the third stage of Winter came.
The polar low temperature coupled with the unknown extreme weather may not be able to withstand the current configuration of the heat ball and cold clothing alone.
The snow continues to pile up high, and collective travel will also become a luxury.
In other words, their hunting this time is likely to be the last large-scale hunting in the Winter Challenge.
In the follow-up third stage of the Winter Treasure Chest and the guardian monsters of the Icefield, Zong Shen still needs to find another way.
Sure enough, those Winter Treasure chests with rewards comparable to silver treasure chests are not so easy to open.
More than an hour before their final rest, Doris reported the situation to him using the communication crystal, and they had returned to the territory around seven in the evening.
Compared with the main team led by Zong Shen, Doris was more calm.
Faved, who was traveling with her, used the two days of hunting to summon two hell two-headed dogs again.
However, he also lost one head in today's battle, which made Favid distressed for a long time. He now has five heads with him, and the mine has a total of nine heads.
Every Cerberus double-headed dog is his baby bump. If you want to summon a commander-level monster, you need to kill 8 heads. As for low-level monsters, you need more. It is not easy to summon one.
He was going to wait until he had accumulated twelve hell double-headed dogs and formed a double-headed dog team, and then tried to kill and summon other weaker summons.
You must know that the [Killing Staff of Theseus] in his hand is only a rare item.
But it came from the mine area and was the staff of one of the spider web monster queens.
Most of the equipment of the spider web monster group comes from the ruins and ruins of the battlefield deep in the mine.
The dimensional war in the last era was of great significance, so there were often weapons and equipment of great value in these relics.
This killing staff is obviously like this. Its killing charge provides several levels of summoning options. It only takes 100 points to summon a lv20 skeleton warrior, and 300 points to summon a lv25 heavy armored dead man. Warrior, consume 500 points to summon a lv30 flesh puppet.
As for the two-headed hellhound, you need to use up 1000 kill points at one time.
These summons summoned by the kill value can exist forever as long as they are not destroyed.
In addition to the most powerful Hellhounds, Faved has the option of summoning some other warriors.
For example, a Flesh Golem that requires 500 kill points is a good choice.
Summoning one hellhound's kill value is enough to summon two flesh golems.
He's ready to mix and match as much as possible.
Let the summoned warrior army under your command form a powerful fighting force.
It is precisely because of the mastery of the special equipment [The Killing Staff of Theseus] that after Doris was promoted to a hero, Favid could still be on an equal footing with her.
As an early member of the territory, his performance has always been diligent and diligent.
Zong Shen didn't give him the [Heroic Emblem] because he was able to take this into consideration.
His status in the territory will not be shaken, and the meaning of this staff is even more than the "identity" of a hero.
The same is true for Colby. Although he has no special powerful weapons, he is in charge of the wolf cavalry troops in the territory.
Whether it is now or in the future, he will be the great commander of the wolf cavalry in the territory.
No one will take his place at this point.
The wolf cavalry, as a characteristic light-loaded ranger, will definitely become a vital unit in the future territory.
Everything in the territory, in fact, Zong Shen has a steel scale in his heart.
This is his pressure and his motivation.
Governance and development in reality are not as simple as in games.
At least with the many convenient factors provided by the lord system, Zong Shen still felt that it was difficult.
He couldn't be quiet at all. As long as he was in a quiet state, various development problems and plans would flood his mind and occupy all his thoughts.
This situation became more and more obvious as the territory gradually expanded.
As night falls, everything will come to an end today.
After resting in place for more than ten minutes, Zong Shen resolutely led the soldiers on their way home.
It will take at least an hour to return to the territory from here.
With the blizzard raging, the snow is accumulating at a speed of seven or eight centimeters per hour.
The ground now looks a bit funny, it is nearly eighty or ninety centimeters higher than before.
It is divided into three layers: the ice layer, the melting ice layer, and the snow layer.
As the sleet stopped, the melting ice began to transition from fragile to solid.
If you don't wear snow chains, this kind of road is absolutely slippery, enough to make your butt fall into pieces.
Taking advantage of the snow has not yet accumulated to an outrageous level, it is the last chance to return.
Everyone endured the cold and returned to the territory in the weight-bearer mecha.
They are like lost birds in the snow, trying to fly to the nest.
