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 such extremely low temperatures that can change the properties of steel, without any means or 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. As long as there is no iron in the brain, people 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 has caused the snow to collapse into melted ice, and the arrival of extreme cold has 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.

I put away my 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 to return.

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 already been opened.

The remaining 18 are in his storage compartment. Including the harvests of Luna and Vereesa, 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 treasure chests will be comparable to that of the silver treasure chest.

Only 1,000 winter treasure chests will arrive 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 Crusher 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 have strayed too far from our territory."

"Only by returning now can we return 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 speaking, the water vapor exhaled from the mouth freezes almost quickly.

Everyone nodded. Whether it was Doris, Aysia, Farvid, or the other accompanying 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 Ai Xia 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.

It will reappear quickly after being wiped by hand, seriously affecting the vision in the cockpit.

Fortunately, Zong Shen has his own means, and he does not 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 some help, it is not just a 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 is to avoid danger or to rest and recuperate, it is 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 Hall] 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, Ai Xiya wanted to spend time here every day.

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

As a fourth-level Holy Light Deacon, 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 is as thick as an adult's waist and about ten meters long. After the internal organs are cut open and the scales are peeled off, each one can 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 [sewn sheepskin jackets] I brought from Alana at noon.

It is now less than eleven hours before the Winter Challenge officially ends, 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 solid ice half a palm thick blocked the entrance and exit. In order to save time, Zong Shen chose to send the drilling machine 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 the appropriate position.

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

Of these 377 [sewn sheepskin jackets], Zong Shen listed them all 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 aboriginal people here, he did not spend much money when purchasing.

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

The current changes have only reduced some of 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.
