Chapter 513 [Subscribe] [5K]

Zong Shen has no opinion on this.

Because in the golden circle mark, there are places worth exploring in all four directions.

They are also within the scope of the resident ruins.

No matter which one is opened first, there is only a difference in order, and there is no difference in other aspects.

The territory is now much richer.

Zong Shen provided most of the warriors with Luna spring water.

These Rhodok sergeants were no exception.

They belong to the axe and shield heavy infantry, and should bear the responsibility of the meat shield.

Therefore, they spontaneously walked in front of the team in pairs.

And those Avalon strong fencers are relatively rare double swordsmen.

They fought with two one-handed long swords, and they were very skilled in swordsmanship.

Zong Shen's original Dragon Slaying Epee can summon strong fencers.

These swordsmen had more attack than defense, so they had to walk behind.

Zong Shen and Baron Bezos watched them hold torches and enter the dark passage on the right.

This passage was more than half narrower than the passage that entered the burrow under the pit.

Even the height is only about two meters.

That's why Baron Bezos chose to explore this passage first.

Because of this width, it will have a great impact on the normal passage of the lion and skeleton knights.

With such a short passage, the possibility of skeleton knights is much lower.

After all, the riding height of the Skeleton Knight and the Undead Bone Horse has reached two meters five or six.

This is also because of the loss of flesh and blood.

However, the short passage can only mean that no skeleton knight has entered or exited.

However, there is no guarantee that there will be no sleeping skeleton knights inside or at the end of the passage.

Back then, this burrow and passageway were dug up by those shallow water murlocs.

It only disturbed the sleeping lion and skeleton knight, and finally gave up.

Baron Bezos was a little nervous, staring intently at the passage they entered.

They lit six torches, all held by warriors in the middle.

Sergeant Rhodok at the forefront only needs to concentrate on carrying his shield and chain hammer.

The long-handled machete cannot be used here, and the short and powerful chain hammer is more suitable.

Zong Shen also began to ask the strategy module for help when they entered.

He asked the strategy module to show him where the undead were sleeping in the ruins.

Baron Bezos is lucky, there is indeed no undead at the end of this passage.

However, in two of the other three passages, there are undead sleeping.

Zong Shen quickly knew something.

He is ready to give some guidance next time.

Open up the other safe passage first, and complete some excavation and exploration.

Finally, consider the two passages where the undead are dormant.

When necessary, Baron Bezos's people must see blood under the trampling of the undead cavalry.

This can dispel the doubts in Bezos' heart.

At the critical moment, Zong Shen came to help again, and took the opportunity to lead those undead out of the ruins.

If the lion and skeleton knights are the better solution, let them wreak havoc.

In the end, Zong Shen quietly revealed the [Silver Lion Ring].

Then send out instructions through the soul wave, and let those guys go directly to the west woods outside the ruins to meet.

In any case, Zong Shen hopes that the undead in the ruins can play their due role.

Even if he finally had to fight with those undead, he would not hesitate.

Of course, these are just his assumptions, and what he will do in the end has to be taken one step at a time.

After knowing this in his heart, Zong Shen became calm again.

He stood half a meter behind Baron Bezos with his hands behind him.

Waiting for the final result of the exploration team, watching the firelight disappear little by little at the end of the passage.

After about five or six minutes.

The fire light appeared again, which represented that the team began to return smoothly.

If there was a danger or situation in the passage, the sound of fighting would have been heard long ago.

Therefore, Baron Bezos is also relieved.

Those Rhodok sergeants and strong fencers came to Zong Shen and Baron Bezos, respectively, and knelt down on one knee.

This is a more formal etiquette.

"Sir, everything is normal in the passage."

"The total length is about 30 meters, and there are obvious relics on both sides."

"There are still some broken stone walls at the end. I don't know if it is related to the ruins."

Ricardo, a sergeant of Rhodok, made a serious report to Zong Shen.

And those Avalon strong fencers were also reporting the situation to Baron Bezos.

There are some minor differences between the two.

Zong Shen nodded and took the initiative to reach out to help Ricardo.

He was the head of Sergeant Rhodok.

Of course, this was also appointed by Zong Shen.

After supporting Ricardo, Zong Shen said to these Rhodok sergeants.

"I understand, thanks for your hard work."

"Get up quickly."

After getting his permission, the other Rhodok sergeants got up one after another.

They carried the battle shield on their backs and inserted the chain hammer into their waists.

He took out the long-handled axe and stuck it on the ground, standing behind Zong Shen like a guard.

In fact, these Rhodok sergeants did not follow Zong Shen for a long time.

From the Recruitment Scroll obtained when the Winter Treasure Chest is opened.

But these guys respect Zong Shen very much.

As for Baron Bezos, the fourth-order swordsmen in the Bangcheng army also reported the same situation to him.

"Brother Zong Shen, there is no problem with this passage."

"Then I will now order to start the excavation."

After Baron Bezos came to a conclusion, he came to Zong Shen and said.

Zong Shen just nodded.

"Everything is as you wish."

After saying that, he waved to Sergeant Rhodok behind him.

Two of them will be in charge of driving the magic drill.

Yesterday they were also responsible for driving the drilling rig.

The two Rhodok sergeants bowed to Zong Shen and walked towards the direction of the magic drilling machine.

Skillfully open the glass cockpit and start the drilling rig.

No way, Zong Shen didn't bring many people.

Zong Shen and the others also moved aside, and the drilling machine entered the field first, forcibly drilling the passage.

Then more laborers began to clear the floating soil with shovels and rattan baskets.

The advancing speed of the drilling rig is not too fast, so as to avoid damaging the main body of the wooden house ruins.

In this way, a new round of excavation work has been carried out in an orderly manner.

...

After about two hours, the passage had been cleared.

They got about 32 more sets of knight armor.

Why use the word about?

Because some of the armors are not complete.

But this is not important. According to the agreement of the two, all the relic production equipment will be uniformly distributed when the exploration is completed.

After the passage was cleared, Baron Bezos became more anxious.

Although he didn't show it on his face, Zong Shen still caught some clues.

Because Zong Shen is extremely calm at this time, he will not be too concerned about the success of the excavation.

Baron Bezos, on the other hand, performed quite differently.

He walked with his hands behind his back, pacing back and forth outside the passage.

Seems to be waiting for something.

He didn't stop wandering around until the workers announced that the tunnel had been dug up.

But there was lingering disappointment in his eyes.

Obviously, there is still nothing he wants in this passage.

Zong Shen is well aware of this, and Baron Bezos also has no intention of revealing it to him.

Based on the experience of this period, Zong Shen has reason to suspect that what Baron Bezos is looking for is in the magic storage box.

He will never hand over this storage box.

At least before he opened it, when he studied what was inside, there was no such situation as handing it over.

Besides, Baron Bezos doesn't trust him either, or at least put this thing on the table.

Having made up his mind, Zong Shen stopped observing Baron Bezos and focused on the excavation work.

Under his intentional guidance, Bezos chose another channel without undead as the target of the next exploration channel.

This is what Zong Shen is happy to see.

The front team was also dispatched to explore.

After confirming safety, drilling rigs and laborers entered the channel for excavation.

There is still no suspense about this passage, and Zong Shen understands it very well.

The real danger is the remaining two channels.

After some tossing, it was already past eleven o'clock in the morning.

With the experience of the previous channel.

Zong Shen estimates that the development time of this channel should not exceed 2 hours.

Baron Bezos has rushed over to help.

Even he is not very satisfied with the current progress.

To this end, he even mobilized the accompanying fourth-order swordsmen to carry shovels and work with him.

The fourth-order warrior of the dignified kingdom is now doing the work of digging the ground.

The shiny armor had to make a mess.

Zong Shen was indifferent to this, and he didn't even have the idea of ​​​​playing on the scene.

In fact, the two magic energy drilling machines he provided were at least worth the manual digging of one or two hundred laborers.

In this exploration activity, no matter what contribution Zong Shen made, it was no less than that of Baron Bezos.

...

More than an hour later, the excavation is still in progress.

Zong Shen was stunned in place, because the white light appeared, and the time-stop state had arrived.

The time was exactly twelve o'clock noon that day, not a minute or a second.

When the white light dissipated, subtitles appeared one after another.

[A new round of challenges will start in 24 hours]

【Challenge content: Heat wave is coming】

【The heat wave challenge will last for 72 hours】

[The heat wave strikes: The temperature will rapidly rise to 45°C within 6 to 12 hours of the challenge, and at the same time it will enter a state of depletion of water sources, and the magical effects of water and ice will be seriously affected]

[Hot Balrog: In addition, after the challenge is opened, a Balrog Boss will appear at a random location in the area. The Balrog Boss has a fixed HP of 5 million points and a double resistance of 65 points, which lasts for 24 hours. If the Balrog is not destroyed during its existence, the temperature in the area will rise by 10°C]

[The Balrog Boss will have different attack intentions according to the remaining HP]

[Remaining HP 100%: Calm state, very low attack intention]

[Remaining HP 70%: Relatively calm state, attack intention is slightly increased]

[Remaining HP 40%: Angry state, attack intention is significantly increased]

[Remaining HP 10%: Furious state, attack intent reaches madness]

[The boss will maintain a fixed cycle refresh until the end of the heat wave challenge]

[There are dual sources of points in this round]

[Survival Points: For every hour of survival, you will get 30 basic survival points]

[No points will be deducted for the death of a citizen]

[Boss points: each person will be exchanged according to the blood volume of killing the boss at a ratio of 0.1. The first-time attacker of each boss will receive a reward of 500 points and a Balrog treasure chest equal to a silver treasure chest, and the last striker will receive a fixed 10,000 Point all the experience points and 1000 points of the leader, and you will get an additional Balrog Treasure Box equivalent to the Golden Treasure Box]

[36 hours after the challenge starts, a round of temporary points exchange will be opened]

【The announcement will last for 5 minutes】

Quickly looking at the notice, Zong Shen found it a lot more interesting.

Today's challenges are increasingly simplified.

Still, the 45°C heat is terrifying.

And in the challenge, water magic and frost magic will be greatly weakened.

Originally, Zong Shen planned to use the Frost Raven locked in the territory to build several air-conditioned rooms.

It's probably weird now.

In addition, during the challenge, the water source will also be depleted.

These are all things that need to be noticed in advance.

Also have to prepare some shade items.

Be prepared to go out.

Because of this challenge, the climate-related pressure on survival is not too great.

The maximum temperature of 45°C can be tolerated, such as digging a cellar and getting a pool.

And civilian casualties will not deduct points.

Zong Shen remembered that in the TLF region of China, there was a terrifying record that the surface temperature reached 83.3°C.

But that doesn't mean he can take it lightly.

The key problem is the Balrog Boss, which is not only the main source of points.

It is also related to the subsequent temperature change.

As long as the Balrog Boss is not destroyed within 24 hours, the temperature in the area will directly increase by 10°C.

If it fails to be destroyed twice in a row, the temperature will reach 65°C.

Even if it is barely able to survive at this temperature, it will be difficult to move, so that it will not be able to effectively attack the Balrog Boss that will be refreshed later.

Therefore, this challenge is actually more test of the comprehensive strength in the region.

Only by ensuring that the first two Balrog Bosses can be successfully killed within the cycle can the temperature be stabilized at 45°C, so that the subsequent situation will not be affected.

After all, going out to fight at 45°C and going out to fight at 55°C or even 65°C are not on the same level of difficulty.

Five million blood is not too much, and it is not too much.

Calculated based on the average number of surviving lords in the area of ​​7,000.

On average, everyone only needs to solve the Balrog Boss with more than 700 health points.

This time, the strength of the lords is generally much stronger than that of the crypt challenge.

Zong Shen did not expect all the lords of the entire region to be there.

He only hoped that at least half of the regional lords would be enough.

After all, although attacking the Balrog Boss is a high profit, it also means a high risk.

There are still many conservative lords who are unwilling to come.

Specifically, some regional mobilization may be required.

As a big Boss, the Balrog will inevitably suffer casualties from the lords.

But it's still more of a good thing,

Even Zong Shen couldn't destroy the Balrog Boss alone.

However, with his current territorial strength, it is conservatively estimated that at least 20% of his health can be solved.

The most important thing is the first hit and the last hit, which are the two key rewards.

The more people there are, there will be luck.

Especially in the first strike, luck is more important than strength.

However, Zong Shen still has a certain degree of confidence to fight for the final blow.

This has a lot to do with the output ability. Whoever has the strongest output is more likely to win the final blow.

None of this is a problem.

After pondering for a while, the time-stop state ended.

Zong Shen immediately turned around and walked into the passage where he came, and took out the communication crystal to contact Mariel.

Communication was quickly established.

Mariel just dealt with Sitano yesterday.

He brought the dinar that belonged to Master Mars, and discussed the matter of the ranch by the way.

At the same time, a batch of food was purchased for the territory.

The food isn't out yet, it's just planning ahead.

According to Zong Shen's plan and instructions, food must be kept in the territory for more than half a month at all times.

Moreover, there have been three or four hundred more refugees in the past few days, and they need to eat.

The daily food consumption level of the territory has been increased again.

As for now, Mariel is busy with a new round of construction in the territory.

Zong Shen immediately told Mariel about the challenges and rules of the heat wave.

At the same time let her start preparations right away!

The first is the problem of water sources. Three to eight water cellars are urgently built and filled.

Build a few more [third-order cellars] and store some water in them.

Pull on the Frost Raven for emergency freezing.

This will serve as an emergency cooling chamber.

The frost cellar where the food was originally stored will also have to step up time to re-freeze it.

Add some ice cubes to make sure you can survive the three-day heat.

In addition to the above preparations, he also asked Mariel to build the [Low-Temperature Cold Storage Construction Drawing (Blue)].

This thing belongs to a building with one picture and one cover, and it is a special cold storage.

Now there is no shortage of ice magic gems in the territory, and there are enough water runes and primary magic energy cores, and they are fully capable of construction.

Originally, the capacity of the cellar was already stretched, and half of the food could be transferred to the cold storage, which could be regarded as an insurance measure.

After all, a professional cold storage building is much more reliable than a temporary freezer after the cellar is frozen.

These are the most important issues, and the rest are easy to solve.

There is no shortage of food in the territory. Even if farming has not been fully carried out, he can easily purchase a large amount of food with the dinar in hand.

Finally, he instructed Mariel to let her tell Howie to go to the [Market] to buy some items that can cool down.

Whether it is magic props, or other frost-like things.

Anyway, don't let it go as long as it is on the side of cooling.

Although the effect of frost magic will be greatly weakened, Zong Shen still will not give up preparations in this regard.

Even if only 50%, or even 40% of the effect is left, it is worth it.

After arranging these preparations, Zong Shen communicated with Jiang Yi again.

Learn about the development of the army.

Because the announcement has already appeared, there is no need to announce anything at all.

Since the opening of the Legion 1.1 rules, the number of legions has almost reached the upper limit.

The upper limit of the first-level legion is 120 people, and now there are 112 people.

Continuing from the previous chapter, there is a burglar in the early morning.
