Chapter 456: Dog Hole Tactics, Obtain the Winter Treasure Box [Anti-theft]
So he stopped moving forward and controlled the [Magic Drilling Machine] to retreat towards the rear.
The passage was cleared, and now Doris needed to take action.
He needs Doris to use "breathing fire" to burn a dog hole that can accommodate a snow leopard.
Doris, who was standing by, had already understood Zong Shen’s intention.
She nodded to Zong Shen, smiled slightly, and showed two small tiger teeth.
Then he walked into the channel opened by the drilling machine with his staff in hand.
The "fire breathing" skill is activated at the appropriate location.
According to the body shape of those snow leopards, a melting hole about one meter wide was burned out.
As the fire dragon melted through the remaining ice layer bit by bit.
Zong Shen was also waiting behind Doris with his trident in hand.
To deal with these captain-level guys, there is no need to use the Dragon-Slaying Heavy Sword.
The rare [Wind, Fire and Thunder Trident] is enough to deal with them.
After five or six seconds, the mezzanine in the center circle was completely opened.
However, the fire dragon still needs to be burned for a while to ensure that the inner and outer diameters of the melt cave can be consistent.
The flamethrower is not like a drilling machine, which can carve out a channel with a uniform diameter.
In the fire dragon's jet, the melt hole appears to be large on the outside and small on the inside.
After another more than ten seconds, the melt hole was finally penetrated, and the diameter at its deepest point reached one meter.
Those snow leopards seemed to have no intelligence at all. When they first got through, they couldn't wait to get out, and they were not afraid of the burning of the fire dragon.
By the time the melt cave was completely opened, the snow leopard had lost more than half of its health, and the thick hair on its head had been burned into black charcoal.
A burning smell emanated along the passage.
When the hole was big enough for it to crawl in, the snow leopard bent its forelimbs and began to crawl out, looking clumsy and ridiculous.
Just like a real dog hole, its speed is very slow, and it will take at least ten seconds to get out. This time is enough for Zong Shen to kill it.
Zong Shen gently pulled Doris's sleeves, gesturing for her to give up her position and hide behind him.
He took a few steps forward, took Doris's place, and stabbed the [Trident of Wind, Fire and Thunder] in his hand towards the bald head.
The three halberd spines shone with elemental lights of different colors, and they accurately hit the snow leopard's head.
"Crack!"
Accompanied by the crisp sound of bones breaking, the snow leopard's crawling posture with bent arms suddenly froze.
The three elemental lights suddenly lit up, as if three candles were lit on its head.
【-256】
【-20】
【-20】
【-20】
A high amount of piercing damage burst out along with the damage of three elemental magics.
This blow took away 316 health points of the Ice Leopard.
It now only has fifty or sixty points of health left.
Due to the burning of the flame in this part of the skull, all the resistant hair was burned away.
So when Zong Shen attacks, the poor beast has to face full damage.
Because the melt cave is only one meter wide and half a meter long.
This guy can only use a crawling method to reach in a small part of his body.
Now its skull has been shattered and deformed by the trident's blow.
The health value has also dropped below 10%, entering a dying state.
"Too weak."
Zong Shen said with some disdain.
The trident in his hand was inserted again, completely piercing its head.
Turbid white slurry mixed with bright red blood dripped onto the ground.
Turned into pink flowers of death.
[Kill the level 20 third-level ice snow leopard]
[Acquire 1860 experience points]
[Get 125 Winter Points]
The kill prompt appears in the corner of the field of vision.
The experience value is quite rich, and the difficulty of killing it is much lower than that of the Winter Snow Monster.
To his surprise, the snow leopard's body did not disappear after its death.
This means that the materials and meat on it can be used.
Zong Shen stuck its head in and pulled out the snow leopard's body while retreating.
This is also an extra income, and the snow leopard meat can be eaten.
Skin, claws, teeth, and bones can all be used as good materials.
As captain-level ice beasts, the materials on their bodies are also of blue quality.
It is a necessary base material for making blue grade equipment.
Zong Shen pulled out the trident, held the big snow leopard shaped like a pony in one hand, and threw it outside the passage.
Because the second snow leopard couldn't wait to get out.
These guys seem to have their intelligence suppressed and only have fanatical intentions to attack.
Relying on dog hole tactics and super high attack power, Zong Shen was able to easily kill all the remaining snow leopards.
…
Four or five minutes later, all the snow leopards died under Zong Shen's trident.
It turned into blood-stained corpses and piled up outside the small iceberg passage.
These seven ice snow leopards contributed a total of 13020 experience points, 875 challenge points, and 175 extraction points to him.
With another 2000 experience points, Zong Shen can be promoted to LV27.
Now all the ice beasts guarding the treasure chest have been killed by him.
Taking advantage of the sunny weather and the temperature starting to rise, Zong Shen called Haoyi and led the strong dragon-turned-gun-and-shield warriors to drag the corpses back to the living area.
At present, the snow has melted a lot, but the remaining part still exceeds the snow removal capacity of the loader mecha, so we need to wait for a while.
After cleaning up the snow leopard carcass, Zong Shen got on the [Magic Drilling Machine] again.
At this time, we still have to rely on the big guy to take action, and he is not willing to dig into the dog hole.
Under the violent drilling of the drilling machine, the dog hole was quickly opened.
The treasure chest is right in front, sealed in thick, square icicles.
He first carefully opened a small gap with a drill bit, and then stopped the drilling machine.
Come to the icicle and use the trident to break the ice manually.
The remaining ice layer is still clear, and there is no distance in the field of vision.
Zong Shen used his trident to dig more than a dozen times, and the Winter Treasure Chest was completely exposed.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! This is the first winter treasure chest he obtained after the third stage started.
He continued to chisel on both sides, breaking the icicles, and took out the treasure chest completely.
The current small iceberg is like an igloo with a hollow interior.
Zong Shen looked at the winter treasure chest at his feet and felt a little excited.
This treasure chest has an ice-tusked mammoth pattern engraved on it. It looks different from the regular silver treasure chest. It is blue-white in color with some metallic luster.
With distinctive characteristics of winter, Zong Shen stared at the treasure chest, and pieces of related information appeared in front of his eyes.
【Winter Treasure Chest】
[An unknown winter treasure chest, no one knows what can be found]
【(Click to open)】
(There is no problem with the treasure chest, you can open it with confidence)
It seems that the Winter Treasure Chest is indeed the same model as the ordinary treasure chest, or it is a silver treasure chest with a changed "skin".
Zong Shen reached out his hand and touched it without hesitation and chose to turn it on.
The lid of the box slowly opened, and six bonus light balls of different colors emerged.
The blue-white treasure chest began to melt, turning into a light blue liquid and blending into the ice.
This made him give up the idea of trying to recycle the empty boxes.
Focus on the rewards from the treasure chest.
[Opening the winter treasure chest successfully]
[Fourth-level two-story stone house construction drawing x1]
[Level 4 Elemental Tower Construction Drawing (Purple) x1]
[Whetstone (green) x1]
[Bardotti Wine (Blue) x3]
【Wheat bread x6】
[Elementary Recovery Potion x3]
【Mithril x12】
These rewards are relatively mediocre, with only one rare item being produced, which is a blueprint for a new type of defense tower, called the Elemental Tower. The name is similar to the Elemental Arrow Tower, but it is completely different.
In addition, a [Construction Drawing of a Four-Story Double-Story Stone House] was also released. This is an advanced version of the three-story stone house, and it is also a residential building necessary for the development of the territory.
Apart from these two blueprints, the rest of the rewards can only be described as mediocre.
Wine, potions, fine wheat bread, mithril...
But that [whetstone (green)] is a bit interesting.
It is a gain-type prop with special effects.
[Whetstone (green)]
[Quality: Excellent grade]
[Effect: Primary polishing (can polish any edged weapon and enter a "sharp" state that lasts for 10 minutes, making the weapon's attack have an additional 15 points of armor-piercing effect)]
(sharpen your sword and cut his throat)
This prop can give the weapon a certain time-effective armor-breaking effect, so it can be regarded as a relatively practical prop.
Zong Shen put away all the items, and placed the two drawings separately in a new row of grids, waiting to be reviewed one by one when work was done at night.
Now he wants to spend his precious time on the winter chest.
This time, not counting the trekking time, it took him about 20 minutes from start to finish.
In fact, this also includes the time he spent conducting experiments.
Zong Shen, who had already mastered the trick, was confident that he could find the treasure chest within ten minutes when faced with a new small iceberg.
The main force of the treasure hunting plan is the [Magic Drilling Machine], and secondly, Doris needs to use the "fire breathing" skill to create a dog hole that attracts monsters.
The dog hole tactic is almost universal. He only needs to determine the size of the dog hole according to the types of ice beasts guarding the treasure chest in the small iceberg.
Whether it’s a snow leopard or any other ice beast, dog hole tactics can perfectly deal with it.
If he can defeat the guarding beast without any damage, then the Winter Treasure Chest will be like the fruit on the branch, and he will be able to pick it.
Zong Shen didn't know if other lords had redeemed the [Magic Drilling Machine]. Logically speaking, the redemption price of 1,000 points was not cheap, but based on the previous basic survival points, there should still be many lords who could redeem it.
Of course, whether you can afford to redeem it is one thing, and whether you can redeem it is another thing entirely.
After all, there are many good things in [Special Items].
Who would have thought that the winter treasure chest in the third stage would appear in the form of a small iceberg?
Zong Shen had never thought before that he exchanged these two [Magic Drilling Machines] just to facilitate the excavation of ruins, especially the ruins under the rogue territory.
Now everything is ready, just waiting for him to develop it.
And it is located above the ruins of the ancient elven city Azshara.
Zong Shen believes that these two drilling machines will be put to great use.
Because of the strategy module, Zong Shen has a unique advantage in exploring such deeply buried ruins.
Unless it was a coincidence, other people would not know that there were ruins under the rubbish.
Unless there are eye-catching ruins on the surface, or you find some ancient books or maps that record the detailed location, so being an honest digger is what Zong Shen should do.
As an aspiring digger, it is normal to equip two [Magic Drilling Machines].
As for now, Zong Shen discovered that the drilling machine has unparalleled advantages in digging small icebergs, which is an unexpected surprise.
As the weather clears up, the temperature rises, and outdoor conditions begin to improve, the lords must be ready to take action again.
Zong Shen could already imagine the scene when the lords were surprised to find a small iceberg containing a winter treasure chest around their territory.
They need to find a way to break the ice, maybe try to light a fire next to the small iceberg, or maybe drag the family and the soldiers and farmers in the territory to dig out bit by bit.
In short, without some targeted and arrogant means, it would take at least two or three hours to break through the small iceberg using conventional methods.
Then you still need to defeat the ice monster guarding the winter treasure chest, and finally you can harvest a winter treasure chest. This is the smoothest situation.
No wonder that throughout the third phase of Winter, only 1,000 Winter treasure chests will be dropped in each area.
This number actually indicates that the difficulty of obtaining the treasure chest will not be very low for most lords.
Even someone from Zong who has mastered the skills cannot get as much as he wants.
The trekking time, excavation time, fighting time, and unpacking time are all combined.
Being able to open a winter treasure chest within 30 to 40 minutes is considered very good.
This time will also be extended as the surrounding winter treasure chests are excavated.
1,000 treasure chests are scattered over an area of 40,000 square kilometers.
The further you go in the trek, the higher the proportion of time will be.
This is the result of Zong Shen's estimation. Generally speaking, it should be close to ten.
He put away his thoughts and left the small iceberg.
He pulled Aishia back to the cockpit of the drilling machine.
Judging from the current situation, bringing Aishia out is of no use.
The difficulty of the battle cannot be said to be stress-free, it can only be said to be easy.
But now that everyone is out, it’s not appropriate to send Aysia back!
He asked Doris to return to the living area along the path opened by the drilling machine, and took Favid and the third-level arcane mages to follow the drilling machine in the loader mecha.
Because the bodies of those beasts could be recovered, he needed additional vehicles.
Zong Shen steered the drilling machine in a deflected direction and headed northeast.
The new point is 3.26 kilometers away from here, located on the northeastern edge of the territory.
This time Zong Shen gradually increased the speed, and finally raised the [Magic Drilling Machine] to the first power speed.
Move quickly towards the target at a speed of 35~40 kilometers per hour.
