Chapter 435 Returning to the Territory, Doris Change
It took eleven or twelve minutes to kill one at the beginning, but it was shortened to six or seven minutes after that.
Except for the first two, the hunting operations at the back all take more time to travel than to fight.
In fact, many things are a process of practice making perfect.
When the warriors of the hunting team adapt to the rhythm and style of combat and become familiar with the characteristics of winter monsters, their combat efficiency will become higher and higher.
At this time, Zong Shen's total points are 12,500 points.
The basic survival points are 1500 points, which means that from beginning to end, they killed a total of eleven winter snow monsters.
This includes the one killed in the territory and the seven killed by the hunting team, which means that Doris and her team killed three winters in more than two hours.
Snow monster.
And judging from the changes in points, there were no casualties.
Any casualties during the winter period will result in corresponding point deductions.
After coming to this conclusion, Zong Shen was already very satisfied with the performance of Doris and the others.
Everything requires a process and cannot be achieved overnight.
After a brief rest for more than twenty minutes, the time has come to about 4:40.
According to the previous agreement, everyone will return to the territory before 6 o'clock.
So far, all the winter snow monsters within a five-kilometer radius of the territory have been eliminated.
They must go further out to continue looking for the snow monster.
A new round of golden circle marks appeared again. This time there were 59 snow monsters in total, scattered within five to ten kilometers of the territory.
As the search area expands, the distribution density of winter snow monsters will also be higher.
This density will change over time.
Especially when the snow monsters come into contact with the lords one after another.
As time passes, the total number of snow monsters in the area will decrease.
The impact of climate has seriously reduced the hunting efficiency of Zong Shen and others.
This situation cannot be overcome by persistence.
He must consider the status of the warriors, because the single strength of the Winter Snow Monster is not weak.
Therefore, the points that can be obtained in this round are actually very limited.
Zong Shen could only do his best and kill as many winter snow monsters as possible.
Don’t waste precious time at this stage.
…
More than an hour later, Zong Shen and the others had arrived 9.6 kilometers west of the territory.
This has left the scope of the territory.
There was no one in the ice and snow, and it had been falling snow for several hours.
Another dozen centimeters of dry and soft snow appeared above the ice.
Wherever the loader mecha goes, it is equivalent to opening up roads in the snow.
It was already past six o'clock in the evening.
The moderate snow has turned into heavy snow, reappearing the wind and snow conditions of the previous day.
The temperature further dropped to [-30℃], and the wind became much stronger.
Zong Shen could only hear a "buzzing" sound while wearing a battle helmet.
During this period, they killed five more winter snow monsters, and Doris and the others also killed two.
Including the basic survival points increased in these two hours, his total points became 19,650 points.
This is the harvest of half a day today, as night begins to fall.
The wind and snow became stronger again, and Zong Shen did not plan to fight all night.
Soldiers need a good rest. Four hours of fighting in a cold winter environment is equivalent to more than ten hours of fighting under normal circumstances.
Even temporary rest cannot completely eliminate coldness, drowsiness, and numbness of limbs.
Weather forecast provided based on guide tips.
The heavy snow will continue until three o'clock in the morning, and after the snow stops, gusts of up to level 9 will blow.
Zong Shen planned to let everyone rest early and gather again at five o'clock tomorrow morning.
Hurry up and get another batch of points before noon tomorrow.
Because by noon tomorrow, it means that half of the second phase of winter has passed.
At that time, temporary points redemption will be enabled.
This is an opportunity to improve your strength.
It also marks that the Winter Challenge is about to enter the second half.
It is a strengthening opportunity before the third stage.
Want to get more benefits in the second half of the second phase and the third phase.
You must seize this temporary exchange opportunity.
"Let's return."
"Everyone has worked hard."
Zong Shen's body was covered with snowflakes, and he put on the thick [Benedick's Charge Cloak].
Snow had accumulated on the helmet, and he had to clean it with his hands from time to time.
In the wind and snow, Zong Shen gave the order to return.
All the soldiers showed expressions of relief.
Especially the shooters, who have been responsible for the main output during these few hours.
My hands were all red from the cold, and my fingers were all scratched during the repeated pulling and winding process.
In the dead of winter, the climate is too dry and cold, which can cause great damage to exposed skin.
The soldiers of the remote team all crouched down and used the enclosure of the cargo hold to block the cold wind and at the same time huddle together to keep warm.
Under the leadership of Zong Shen, everyone embarked on the return journey.
During these few hours of hunting, they passed through some territories.
Most of these territories belong to legion members.
Almost everyone is huddled in their own territory without any sign of going out.
Two of the territories were invaded by snow monsters, but they were eventually eliminated.
One lord sacrificed a second-level warrior, and another lord had several houses destroyed by snow monsters.
It is difficult for ordinary lords to kill snow monsters without taking any damage. Even if they rely on their territory, they still have to pay some price.
When Zong Shen and others arrived, the battle had already come to an end.
In order to avoid the suspicion of picking peaches, Zong Shen just asked the shooters to help them consume it a little.
Apart from these hiccups, everything was peaceful.
Due to Zong Shen's clearing operations around the territory, the density of winter snow monsters has been reduced a lot.
This is a good thing for nearby Legion members.
Without enough strength to support them, it is actually not cost-effective for them to kill the winter snow monster now.
The 1,000 points gain is not much left after deducting the losses.
This situation will continue until the temporary exchange ends tomorrow.
Ordinary lords digested the survival points gained in the past two days and further strengthened their territory and their own strength, so that they could eliminate the snow monsters at a lower cost.
These snow monsters scatter in the ice and snow, and there is also a certain degree of randomness.
Taking this into consideration, Zong Shen will go further afield tomorrow to eliminate the snow monsters.
You can't take over this area by yourself, but you have to leave some space for the legion members to practice their skills.
After trudging in the wind and snow for more than 20 minutes, they finally returned to the territory.
Doris had already led them back to the territory early.
After sending everyone back to the living area and magic palace.
She chose to wait alone in the lord's small building for Zong Shen's return.
When the loader mecha faced the wind and snow and drove into the central area from the dark night.
Doris left the warm lord building almost immediately.
During the period when Zong Shen and the others did not come back, at Mariel's request.
Doris took the initiative to go to the [Blacksmith Shop] and [Tailor Shop].
I brought back almost 40 sets of anti-slip chain thorns and 212 sets of [sewn sheepskin jackets].
She left a few sets to bring to Howie and the others, and gave the rest to Mariel.
These are behaviors allowed and acquiesced by Zong Shen.
In fact, Zong Shen is very tolerant to the heroes under his command, and this is also to gradually cultivate their independence.
And loyalty can ensure that they will not have the idea of lining their own pockets when handling the territory's supplies.
I saw Doris running wildly in the snow wearing boots with spikes on them.
By the time Zong Shen stopped the loader mecha, Doris had already arrived beside him.
"Luna, Veresa, thank you for making another trip."
"Send all the soldiers back to the living area."
"Everyone should go to bed early tonight and gather on time at 5 o'clock tomorrow morning."
Zong Shen stood on the driver's seat, took off his helmet, and shouted loudly.
The task of sending the soldiers back to their living quarters was given to Luna and Vereesa.
All the soldiers bowed and saluted Zong Shen.
After a simple ceremony, Vereesa and Luna drove a loader mecha toward the living area in the southeast of the territory.
After handling these matters, Doris had the opportunity to report the situation to Zong Shen.
Zong Shen stepped on the ground twice, shaking off the floating snow on his body, then reached out and patted her back, and said while walking towards the lord's small building.
"Let's go into the small building and chat."
"It's too cold outside."
Doris nodded respectfully after hearing this and followed Zong Shen.
In addition to her, the two sisters Madeleine and Marpel also followed.
Everyone entered the small building together.
After seeing Doris running out, Mariel understood that it was Zong Shen and the others who were back.
I had already gone to the kitchen to boil hot water.
[Fire Ginger Candy] Only the last piece was left, and Mariel was reluctant to use it.
However, steaming boiling water can also dispel the cold.
Zong Shen took Doris to the long table and sat down.
He took off the thick and heavy [Benedick's Charge Cloak] behind him and hung it on the back of the chair.
This cloak is also a rare piece of equipment and comes from the goblin merchant Boswell.
Because it was too heavy, Zong Shen rarely equipped it.
However, in the cold winter, this piece of equipment is just right. In addition to the attributes attached to the equipment itself, it can also provide additional protection against the cold and warmth.
He put the helmet on the table, stretched his body a little tiredly, and then looked at Doris.
"Sir, the team I led killed five winter snow monsters this afternoon."
"In order to speed up efficiency, all the magic springs you distributed have been used up."
"All the soldiers returned to their territories safely."
"Only one wolf cavalry made a mistake due to the warg's slippage, and was hit by a snow monster. The injury was not serious."
Doris reported in an expectant tone.
It's more like an invitation for credit than a report.
Zong Shen looked at Doris and grinned.
"Well done, Doris!"
"You have defended your commitment with practical actions."
“I began to understand the meaning and power of a team.”
"This is what I want to see."
He said without hesitation of praise that proper encouragement can always motivate a person very well.
Especially for a girl like Doris, she actually longs for recognition in her heart.
It's just that she lacked team awareness before and always acted alone.
But now she has begun to understand the team and begins to consider others.
This is a great improvement, and it all comes from the changes that life in the territory has brought to her.
Among them, Zong Shen also played a leading role.
He was very keen to see this scene because it was a kind of spiritual recognition.
After hearing Zong Shen's words, Doris's eyes were filled with energy.
The sense of achievement and satisfaction in my heart is almost indescribable.
This wonderful feeling even surpassed her enthusiasm for fighting.
Everyone needs some goals and a sense of accomplishment to maintain.
No one is an exception. Now Doris has found a goal worth striving for.
Her hands on the table were trembling slightly.
"grown ups…"
"Thank you."
Not too much chicken soup and rhetoric.
Doris had been brewing for a long time, and finally turned her excitement into gratitude.
As a forbidden warrior, after experiencing some things in the last era.
She is extremely grateful for everything she has encountered in this era.
Whether it's Zong Shen or this simple territory built with just one plant and one tree.
Or those warriors with different personalities.
All of these combined together are so vivid.
Here, Doris saw hope for the future.
Zong Shen saw Doris's expression in his eyes and didn't say much.
There is always a gentle smile on his face.
I still remember that when Doris was first recruited, she was as unruly as a female devil.
In the subsequent battle with [The Forgotten One of the Evil God], the Fire Spirit Swordsman was directly summoned.
She herself actually launched a close attack, passed the wolf cavalry in the front row, and launched a triple fire tornado.
The enthusiasm for fighting was like a chicken blood.
Looking at Doris's deference to him now, she is completely different from the other two.
Before the atmosphere became awkward, Zong Shen changed the topic.
"Let's eat here tonight."
"Okay...Okay, sir..."
…
Luna and Vereesa returned to the lord's small building more than 20 minutes later.
The slightly damaged loader mecha was sent to the [Blacksmith Shop] and handed over to the dwarf uncle for repairs.
The two of them came back together on the remaining loader mecha.
When they came back, the two sisters Mariel, Doris and Ranger were already busy in the kitchen.
Zong Shen leaned on his chair and seemed to be staring at the table in a daze, but he was actually checking the [Regional Channel] to observe the situation in the region today.
The warm interior made both Luna and Veresa breathe a sigh of relief.
The sentinel panther had already entered the small building and was curled up under the long table and taking a nap.
At the same time, the suppressed sleepiness in the two women's hearts began to well up.
