Chapter 427: Sneaking in ice and snow, fighting the winter snow monster
The closest golden circle mark to him is located due north of the territory.
The real-time distance is 1.7 kilometers, and this distance is still shortening at a constant speed.
It seemed that even if he didn't need to take the initiative to look for it, the snow monster would still come to him.
According to the distribution of the eight groups of defense matrices in the territory, it stands to reason that some of the defense towers in this distance matrix should start to attack.
But so far, the defensive arrow towers in the territory remain silent.
These arrow towers are also covered by thick ice crust.
I don't know if it's because the snow monster is in a state of disappearance, or because of these ice shells.
Zong Shen prefers the former, because although these ice shells are thick, they are not enough to prevent the defensive arrow tower from launching active attacks.
This is especially true for those high-level arrow towers, such as the [Fourth-level Giant Crossbow Tower], which have ultra-long shooting range and super single-target killing capabilities.
An ice shell of twenty to thirty centimeters is simply unable to withstand the calf-thick crossbow fired by the giant crossbow tower.
There is currently only one sentry tower in the territory, which has a second-level Eye of True Sight covering a one-kilometer diameter range. The other defensive arrow towers do not have the effect of the Eye of True Sight.
Therefore, if those snow monsters really have the powerful ability to sneak and hide, then it is normal for the defense towers to not respond.
Anti-stealth is also one of the shortcomings of the current territorial defense matrix.
Including the second-level Eye of True Sight attached to the sentry tower, they are actually somewhat unable to keep up with the situation.
The second-level Eye of Truth can only detect stealth that does not exceed the second level.
It is very helpless to face enemies who have mastered advanced stealth.
Zong Shen licked his dry lips.
In just a short time, the snow monster coming from the north had already approached the 1.3-kilometer range.
The opponent moved very fast on the ice, even as fast as a prairie horse running at full speed under normal weather. Zong Shen raised his head and looked at the north gate of the inner city.
Huge blood-eating piranhas were planted there and on both sides of the entrance to the lord's courtyard.
These piranha flowers are rare plants and are very aggressive.
Zong Shen has always been regarded as the internal defender of the territory.
But when winter arrives, these piranha flowers fall into a deep sleep.
It was as thick as an adult's waist, with a maximum height of five meters. The rhizome dropped to the ice with the flower body to one side, and the two green leaves like mattresses also turned yellow.
Their whole bodies are covered with a layer of red light, and this light maintains their vitality.
The blood-eating piranha is currently in a special dormant state.
It won't freeze to death, but it won't be able to exert its defensive capabilities.
In their current condition, a prairie cow could eat them all.
In the cold winter, the territory's defense shortcomings were completely exposed.
But it's not a big problem. With the strategy module, he can easily locate the snow monster.
As long as the snow monster is exposed through an attack, the defense matrix in the territory can come into play. These eight groups of matrices all have some defensive arrow towers with ultra-long range.
It can cause superimposed damage in most defense areas of the territory. If the snow monster dares to penetrate deep into the central area, once it is exposed, it will receive a violent blow.
Zong Shen put the magic mechanical falcon into the storage compartment and reached out to grab the [Trident of Wind, Fire and Thunder] that he had stuck on the ice.
As an ancient piece of rare-quality equipment, it has three attributes of elemental damage blessing.
Although Zong Shen is not used to using the trident, at this stage he can only make do with it.
"Get ready, our enemies are coming."
"Madeline, Mapel, Vereesa, you all find a suitable position."
"Luna, go and open the north gate."
Zong Shen ordered in a deep voice. The snow monster due north in his field of vision was already less than 1 kilometer away from him.
Everyone took action immediately after hearing Zong Shen's order.
They did not notice anything unusual, but as loyal confidants, they were able to unconditionally carry out all Zong Shen's instructions.
Luna rode the Sentinel Black Panther and jumped forward on the ice. The Black Panther's claws left deep claw marks on the ice.
After opening the northern city gate, she did not stop and explore, and immediately returned to Zong Shen.
She silently pulled out the giant moon blade hanging from the strap behind her, held it half-raised across her chest, and was ready to throw it out at any time.
Vereesa and the Ranger sisters were also nimble and stood on the wall of the lord's courtyard, using their daggers as support.
Aiming at the north, one hand slightly raised the bow in his hand, and the other hand rested on the quiver on one side, ready to draw arrows and shoot at any time.
Zong Shen didn't speak, just stood quietly.
After a minute or two, the golden circle in his field of vision was only two hundred meters away from him.
This distance should be not far from the north city gate.
However, Zong Shen still didn't see anything unusual.
However, Vereesa's long elf ears twitched, and her eyes narrowed and locked in one position.
Windrunner's instinct gives her powerful insight and intuition.
The panther under Luna's crotch also seemed to smell an unusual smell.
He arched his body on the spot, flexed his strong forelimbs, and tensed his muscles to prepare for the explosion.
When the distance between the golden circle in front of Zong Shen's eyes was only 150 meters.
Vereesa took the lead in attacking.
This distance has entered the best killing distance for shooters.
She quickly pulled out a fine-grade arrow and placed it on the bowstring.
Pull the bow string with a firm twist, so that the bow arm is in a tense state where energy is stored.
"Binding Strike!"
She let out a soft cry and added a skill effect to the arrow.
He fired this sharp arrow.
Accompanied by a rapid sound of breaking through the air, the arrow shot straight toward an open space more than a hundred meters away not far from the city gate.
Zong Shen tensed up his nerves at this moment and looked in the direction of the arrow.
The arrow seemed to hit some obstacle and stuck straight into it.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Judging from the length of the arrow, it is only inserted about one-third of the way.
【-72】
An injury appeared.
It means the attack is effective.
And the scene in the open space immediately became blurry.
Following a period of distorted changes in the scenery, a tall figure finally emerged under the attack.
This is a strong monster over three meters tall, with its entire body covered in thick white hair.
It has a pair of huge feet comparable to a 28-inch suitcase.
Such large feet are quite inappropriate even for someone over three meters tall.
In addition to its most eye-catching big feet, its arms are also thick.
Strong and obvious muscle lines can be seen under the thick white hair.
This is a real casserole with a big punch.
Because of the angle, Zong Shen could only see its side face.
It looks a bit like an ape, with gray-white eyes without any color or emotion.
Because of the distance, he was temporarily unable to see more details.
Only the snow monster's skin can be seen as reddish-brown.
At this time, the arrow shot by Vereesa was inserted into the right arm of the snow monster.
Its whole body was entangled with the wind spirit magic attached to the light blue binding strike.
"roar!"
The snow monster let out a violent roar.
After this hit, its stealth state is broken.
Completely exposed in the territory.
Zong Shen concentrated again, and the detailed attributes of this guy began to appear in front of him.
[Winter Snow Monster lv40 (Purple)]

The skill can only be triggered once)]
(The winter snow monster that has been strengthened by the lord system using the ice ape as a template not only masters frost magic, but its fists also have strong deterrent power. Considering the power of the lv40 ice arrow, it is best to kill it quickly.
Prevent it from casting frost magic)
Zong Shen quickly checked the attributes of the winter snow monster.
This attribute is already comparable to that of the spider web monster Lord Leopold after he was half-demonized.
In addition, its level is as high as level 40, and the skills it masters are also level 40 by default.
You should know that there is no absolute correlation between skill level and personal level.
The difficulty of improving skill level is higher than that of personal level.
So this guy's state is equivalent to an indirect reinforcement.
Taken together, the strength of each snow monster is not much worse than the original spider web monster lord.
The most disgusting thing is that the Winter Snow Monster possesses an advanced stealth skill called Ice and Snow Stealth.
Able to quietly avoid defense towers and detection spells below level three.
This will catch the lords off guard.
Unless there is a high-level sentry tower or a permanent detection magic disk in the territory.
Otherwise, the defensive arrow tower will not be able to exert its proper active defense capabilities.
When the winter snow monster is exposed, that is when it sneaks into its territory and launches an attack.
Even though the strength of the lords has generally been greatly improved now, facing the winter snow monster is still very challenging.
On the spot, the snow monster broke free from its brief restraint, turned around and stared at Vereesa with its red eyes. There were two canines on its lower jaw protruding to the side of its nose.
The upper jaw is also raised like an ape. Just as the data says, this guy's body template belongs to the ice ape tribe, but it has been strengthened and transformed by the lord system.
With their hands like graceful flowers, Vereesa and the dragonborn ranger sisters quickly drew out their arrows, aimed and shot, their movements smooth and elegant.
Arrows flew out one after another and stuck into the ice ape's body.
With an armor value of up to 55 points, it can withstand a large amount of puncture damage.
The two Mapel sisters can only cause more than 30 points of damage to them without using their skills.
Vereesa is a heroic unit and has a lot of rare equipment.
Her attacks are more powerful than those of the two Dragonborn Ranger sisters.
The restraining strike just now has a 1.1 times piercing bonus, so it can cause 73 points of damage.
Normal attacks can also cause 61 points of actual damage.
Facing the arrow attack, the Winter Snow Monster bowed its body and stretched out its thick arms to block the door.
This wave of arrow attacks took away more than 300 points of its health.
Then a thick layer of ice armor quickly condensed outside its body.
This guy has a lot of combat intelligence, and he didn't rush to attack after his stealth was broken.
Instead, he first deployed defensive measures for himself.
"Crack!"
…
"call out!"
"Bang!"
There was a burst of noise from four directions.
Among them were the sounds of ice shells breaking, the sound of the giant crossbow strings reverberating, and the sound of the deadly howl breaking through the air.
It's a pity that this is the center of Zong Shen's territory.
If the winter snow monster sneaks in here, it is like a sheep entering a tiger's mouth.
Previously, when sneaking in ice and snow, those defensive arrow towers could not lock it.
Now, under Vereesa's attack, it broke out of stealth and was completely exposed to the shooting range of the defense tower.
Those distributed in the defense matrix in four directions, the giant crossbow towers with a range of 4 kilometers were the first to attack.
The thigh-thick crossbow arrow can no longer be called an arrow, it can only be regarded as a crossbow gun.
Shooting at the Winter Snow Monster from different directions.
At this time, the ice armor has taken shape. That layer of ice armor makes the winter snow monster look like an ice-sculpted puppet, which shows how thick the ice armor is.
"Bang!"
…
Four huge crashes came almost at the same time.
Four crossbows hit the Winter Snow Monster at the same time.
Unfortunately, it didn't penetrate the ice armor, it just stuck on it.
At that moment, broken ice flew across the sky, exploding with four bursts of damage.
