The sky was hazy, and the faint light provided Zong Shen with a certain field of vision.

But the falling snow in the sky obscured these views.

With this amount of snow, even the doors of normal houses and stone houses cannot be opened.

Fortunately, Doris and Howie had already made preparations and built a simple partition outside the door with pieces of wood before the winter came.

In this way, even if heavy snow accumulates, a small open space can be reserved at the door, which at least will not completely affect travel in the living area.

In addition, they also carried out snow removal work on the main road in the living area, and the windshield wall also played its due role, which made the accumulation of snow in the living area not as serious as Zong Shen imagined.

However, it is still not optimistic. The thickness of this snow has exceeded the passing limit of the load-bearing mecha, and the snow shovel cannot push the excess snow.

With such thick snow, let alone ordinary mules and horses, even those large riding animals would be unable to move forward.

Zong Shen took a few tentative steps forward and arrived at the original location of the steps.

There is white snow everywhere now, and we have no idea what the terrain is under the snow.

Without deep and shallow concepts, every step is full of unknowns.

Zong Shen could only try his best to move forward based on his own impressions.

He took out the [Trident of Wind, Fire and Thunder], which as a long pole weapon can function as a snow pole.

The heavy halberd body and the tapered hammer ensure its stability.

Just like this, groping step by step, Zong Shen walked down the three steps. When he completely stepped on the ice on the ground, the snow was almost up to his waist.

The ice layer at the bottom is frozen hard and smooth, and even if the wearer's anti-skid chain stabs him, his walking is still full of resistance.

In addition, the blizzard has not stopped yet, and dense snowflakes are falling like pieces of paper.

Zong Shen only took a few steps forward and then retreated to where he was. What should we do in this situation?

After entering the third stage of winter at noon, the temperature will probably drop further.

Going out to search for winter treasure chests will become an unattainable dream.

Zong Shen slowly backed away and groped his way back to the platform at the door.

In just a moment, his body seemed to be covered with a layer of pure white gauze.

Those are formed by falling snowflakes that quickly adhere and accumulate.

He stood on the platform, thinking hard about countermeasures.

Suddenly I remembered what the guide said when I asked about the weather forecast yesterday.

"But there are things in the items you recently redeemed that can cope with this situation."

When Zong Shen thought of this sentence, he suddenly understood what the guide was referring to.

He once again walked off the platform with the [Trident of Wind, Fire and Thunder] and braved the blizzard to open a path in the snow leading to the outside of the small courtyard.

He didn't stop until he reached the open space outside.

I immersed myself in the storage compartment, looking for items that could cope with this kind of snow.

He found it soon, and waved his hand in the open space in front of him.

Suddenly a huge silver-gray monster appeared.

This is a magic mecha, which looks smaller than the loader mecha.

There are three sets of drill bits at the front end. The middle set is the longest, two meters long, and there are two auxiliary small drill bits on both sides. These drill bits are in a spiral shape, with strips of grooves in the middle, and a few bright diamonds inlaid on the top.

The alloy stone is the key to the drill bit being able to break through soil and rocks.

After the drill bit, there is the fuselage body, which is about three meters in length. It has only one member cabin and no cargo compartment. The chassis uses split crawlers. There are three sets of road wheels in the front to form a small triangular track section, and five sets of track wheels in the back.

A conventional track section composed of a set of road wheels.

There is a round transparent glass cover on the cockpit, with a silver-white mithril ring riveted on both sides. There are some glyphs engraved on it, some similar to "solidification", "heating" and "cooling".

A little magic that enhances the strength and suitability of glass for special situations.

That's right, the key to a smooth trip in the second half of the journey is this [Magic Drilling Machine].

Zong Shen had never driven this thing before. He came to the cockpit and chose to open the glass cover.

There is only one set of double seats inside the driver's seat.

The control department seems to be more complicated than the Weight Bearer mecha.

There are three sets of pedals, six pull rods, a main control lever and several buttons.

The load-bearer mecha is not so fancy. The control direction is a handle-type steering wheel, which is directly connected to the main control column. It looks like driving an excavator, but it lacks the instrument panel that indicates the parameters.

.

But it also has a more or less "sense of technology".

Zong Shen followed the reserved steps on the side of the fuselage and sat in the cockpit with doubts.

Close the glass hatch to isolate the wind and snow.

This magic mecha is not exclusive to goblins, so the cockpit is spacious enough.

It's just that Zong Shen is confused about how to drive.

The two Goblin Ripper pilots are the ones who are more proficient in magic machinery in the territory.

However, they are also in the living area now, and water from far away cannot quench their thirst for nearness.

"It's better to just ask for help."

Zong Shen sat in the driver's seat and was stunned for a while, then decided to let Xiaofu help.

"Please tell me how to drive..."

As his requests and doubts were reflected from his heart, golden annotations began to appear on the control panel in front of him, and the functions of each button were noted aside.

"Start first...and then push the third-level power push rod..."

"Turn on the rig to warm up..."

"Here are the gears of the drill, these push rods are the power gears..."

"The main control lever is used to control the direction. When drilling into the ground, the rear track will be raised a little and tilted to a certain extent."

"The center of gravity is on the drill bit at the front, and it will drill downward at a certain angle."

"The same method is used to return to the ground or change direction..."

Through the golden annotations, Zong Shen quickly understood the functions of these control mechanisms.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! At the same time, you also have a certain understanding of how to drive the [Magic Drilling Machine].

"Then let me try..."

Zong Shen activated the magic core and pushed the level three power push rod.

Along with the friction sound coming from the transmission part, the fuselage began to vibrate continuously.

After a few seconds, the vibration stabilized and the unpleasant friction noise disappeared.

Only the steady sound of "Teng Teng" came from the core of the magic energy.

Zong Shen began to push the main control lever and headed east, leaving the central area from the city gate.

There is a large open space here for this novice driver to boldly try.

The heavy snow cannot stop the progress of the magic drill.

The front-end drill bit only needs the lowest power to drill through the snow, and the loss of durability is almost zero. In front of the drill bit, the snow can form no resistance at all.

At the same time, the glass cover of the cockpit also has a mystery. The glass cover can be automatically heated in wind and snow, quickly melting the snow covering the surface, without blocking the forward view, and allowing the cab to maintain a certain temperature.

This thing can indeed drive in thick snow, and the speed is not slow.

If Zong Shen was more courageous, he could even directly control the drill to break through the dozens of centimeters thick ice and travel in a more arrogant way.

According to previous data, the drill bit of this thing can even break through granite. In some cases, it can even be used as a special obstacle clearing vehicle to directly drill through buildings.

However, its drill bit also has corresponding durability. When facing relatively hard objects, the drill bit's durability will decrease rapidly.

The drill bits on the drilling rig can be replaced, but they can only be obtained in specific workshops in a few human giant cities and goblin cities.

After confirming the feasibility of traveling by driving a drilling rig, Zong Shen felt relieved.

Although this thing can only carry two people, it is enough for him.

At least he won't miss the winter treasure chest in the third stage.

At most, it takes a little more effort and less driving.

You must know that his own strength is not weak, and he has many summoning skills with him.

If you ask someone like Aisia or Doris, who has their own mass destruction skills and auxiliary skills, to travel with him, I dare not say that it will be impossible to kill three or five groups of ice monsters and open some treasure chests.

problematic.

As for the winter snow monsters, it is estimated that there will not be many left after entering the third stage.
