Chapter 457 Starting a Treasure Hunt, a Strange Little Iceberg 【Happy Mid-Autumn Festival】

This place has always been a place of purification for the territorial mages.

As a lord, Zong Shen rarely visited.

When there is no task, the masters are free to come here to meditate.

Of course, due to the limited number of meditation rooms, it is up to you whether you can grab a seat or not.

So Aishia was suddenly awakened by Zong Shen, and it was normal to have some doubts.

"The third stage of the Winter Challenge has begun."

"Aishia, I need you."

Zong Shen said softly, in such a clean environment, people will unconsciously keep quiet.

For Aishia, Zong Shen's simple "I need you" is better than any reason.

As a loyal subject of Max, Aishia is willing to sacrifice her life for him.

She grabbed the [Wizard of Dawn's Wisdom] that was placed beside her leg and stood up immediately.

"Waiting for your order at any time."

"My strength, my mind, my body, all await."

Ashiya nodded slightly, holding the staff in both hands on her chest.

"Very well, this time the action may be just me and you."

"Your task is very simple, you only need to assist me."

"At the same time, use Holy Light Arrow to assist in output."

With a gentle smile on his face, Zong Shen gently pulled her arm with his hand.

The two walked out of the meditation room together and guided her to the outside together.

Aishia naturally would not have any objection to this, and followed it obediently.

When Zong Shen let go, she followed closely with a distance of half a body.

She opened the sheepskin curtain of the [Magic Hall], and the cold outside made her body tremble.

However, it soon returned to normal, and she was wearing a [double-sided sheepskin warm clothing].

The hem of the off-white wool coat revealed the edge of the priest's robe sewn with gold thread.

This kind of dress makes Aishiya look a bit strange,

After all, the warm clothes are not beautiful, nor are they standard cold clothes.

The kingdoms and major forces in the north have their own standard winter clothing.

The shape is very beautiful, and the emblems of different families are embroidered on it.

Although the [double-sided sheepskin warm clothing] looks a bit rustic, it can't hide Aishia's holy and dignified temperament.

Zong Shen held her hand very gentlemanly, and let her enter the cockpit and sit down first, and then he flexibly climbed up.

After closing the glass hatch, Zong Shen took out several bottles of [Magic Fountain] from his carry-on storage and gave them to Aishia for spare.

Aishia will drive for him when necessary.

Now they don't know much about the Winter Treasure Chest and the Icefield Monsters guarding it.

Those remaining winter snow monsters will also continue to swim on the ground.

Zong Shen briefly explained the driving method and the function of each control unit.

I started the [Magic Drilling Machine] again, and at the same time began to ask the Raiders prompt about the location of the Winter Treasure Chest near the territory.

These positions are also marked with eye-catching golden circle marks.

It can clearly display the azimuth and distance. When Zong Shen's line of sight turns, the marks of other directions will gradually emerge.

He sat in the cab and looked around. The nearest treasure chest was on the east side of the territory.

It takes 2.73 kilometers to go from here, and it takes about 5 to 6 minutes to move forward with the third gear of the drilling rig, and that position is within the range of the territory defense matrix.

However, it seems that those defensive arrow towers have not been activated for the time being.

As the saying goes, seeing a hundred things is better than seeing them once, and you need to go to the scene to see the specific situation.

After confirming the target, Zong Shen pushed down the power push rod, activated the drill bit, held the main control rod with both hands, turned the direction, and headed towards the east of the territory.

At this time, most of the dark clouds on the sky have dissipated, and the pale golden sun shines on the earth, spreading light and heat.

The snow on the ground began to absorb heat, and the cold air rose up, just like dry ice. In fact, when the snow melted, it was the coldest time.

The snow on the surface has melted holes one by one, which is a harbinger of collapse.

Five or six minutes later, Zong Shen came to the east side of the territory.

It is not far from the living area, and you can even see some soldiers standing in the snow, looking at it with curious eyes.

Doris and Howie are organizing people to start a new round of snow clearing and find something for everyone to do.

After they heard the movement of the drilling rig, they also turned their attention here.

Zong Shen stopped the drilling rig, and in front of him was a blue ice stone that was not too small.

The height is about five meters and covers an area of ​​about seventy to eighty square meters.

This ice rock is like a small iceberg.

It appeared so abruptly that neither Doris nor Howie seemed to notice it before.

The sun shines down, reflecting the clear ice body, reflecting a rainbow-like light.

The winter treasure chest that Zong Shen was looking for was frozen in this iceberg.

And it happens to be at the very core.

The most outrageous thing is that this little iceberg is hollow.

In addition to the frozen treasure chest, it has an unfrozen annular area around it.

At this time, a total of seven ice monsters were wandering in it.

From time to time, he would make a hostile growl at Zong Shen outside the ice.

These icefield monsters are strong white snow leopards, no less in shape than the sentinel black panther that Luna rides. At a glance, you know that they belong to the fierce icefield beasts.

To get the treasure chest, you must break the ice.

And once the ice layer is broken, these monsters will be alarmed.

Zong Shen stood outside the small iceberg and stretched out his right hand to caress the ice surface.

Through the chain glove, I can feel the coldness gradually coming from my palm.

This is real ice, the kind that freezes hard.

But this thing is still a bit tricky, because it won't melt when heated.

In the face of direct sunlight and shining, it has no intention of melting.

Zong Shen retracted his palm, and the snow leopards who were trapped in the iceberg just now were restless.

He frantically pulled the ice with his fan-sized claws.

Even through the super thick ice, Zong Shen could vaguely hear their roars.

"Grumpy guy."

Zong Shen tilted his head and stared at these snow leopards.

[Tier 3 Icefield Snow Leopard lv20 (Blue)]

【Blue Captain Level】

[Race: Icefield Beast]

[Bite damage: 41~44]

【HP: 785】

[Armor value: 30]

[Magic Resistance: 25]

【Speed: 6】

[Passive skill: Frost damage (attack with an additional 20 points of Frost damage, which can produce a certain freezing effect)]

【Points: 125】

(Icefield beasts guarding treasure chests, captain-level monsters, are not too difficult for you)

Zong Shen took a look at the attributes of these guys. Except for the slightly higher health, the rest of the attributes are not as good as the Sentinel Black Panther, but it is also a relatively powerful beast.

And they also have a numerical advantage and can besiege Zong Shen.

Seeing that Zong Shen didn't respond, he took out the [Wind, Fire and Thunder Trident] with one move, and started hitting the little iceberg with the cone-shaped impact head at the end.

He used 80% of his strength and only left a gap the size of a rice bowl on it.

The hardness of this iceberg is beyond imagination. It seems that the difficulty of obtaining the Winter Treasure Chest is far more than these guarded icefield beasts. The small iceberg is also a part of the test.

Not afraid of the temperature brought by the sun, but also has super hardness.

It's really not easy to deal with this iceberg.

If you use brute force to chisel hard, you still don't know when it will be chiseled.

Thinking of this, he turned around and looked at the drilling rig behind him.

Those three groups of hideous drills should be able to drill through this iceberg.

However, considering the hardness of this thing, I am afraid that the durability of the drill will be greatly reduced.

Now the third phase of Winter has just begun in less than half an hour.

When he saw Xiaobingshan for the first time, he had plenty of time to study.

Choose the best way to break the iceberg.

This iceberg did not show any relevant properties under his inspection.

There is also no concept of sturdiness value and armor value, which are non-digital manifestation products.

It proves that this little iceberg and the rune gate are completely different things.

Zong Shen took two steps back, looked at the living area, climbed into the cockpit, and drove Aishia to the living area.

He drove the drill directly to Doris's side and greeted her into the cockpit.

Let her and Aishia squeeze and drive towards the little iceberg again.

The empty seats in the cockpit are like sponges of water, and there will always be a squeeze.

He rushed back to the small iceberg and pulled Doris to jump out of the cockpit.

"Doris, breathe fire in here."

"I want to see what's going on with this iceberg."

Zong Shen pointed to a flat surface of the small iceberg, and asked Doris to prepare for "spitting fire".

He wanted to know what was so special about the icebergs created by such a system, that they could not melt at all in the presence of sunlight.

There are actually two possibilities for this situation. One is that the melting point of this iceberg is special, higher than ordinary ice and snow, and the other is that this thing will not melt at all.

With the ability of the lord system, it is not too shocking to come up with some icebergs with non-mainstream rules.

Zong Shen took a dozen steps back, waiting for Doris to show off.

For his request, Doris was very cooperative.

I saw that she was holding the [Scorching Burning Staff], the top of which was aimed at the ice surface, and the angle was adjusted.

A fire dragon that was slightly thicker than an arm shot out violently, hitting the side of the small iceberg straightly. Due to the influence of the cold winter climate, the fire dragon, which originally had the thickness of the thigh, is now only slightly thicker than the arm.

The fire dragon is surging and enthusiastic, like an orange-red fiery stream, spewing out, and a flower of flame blooms on the ice.

Some flames spilled out from the surroundings, and there were signs of a slight backfire.

Zong Shen stared at the contact surface between Xiaobingshan and Fire Dragon intently.

After two or three seconds, the ice surface began to melt rapidly, like butter cubes in the pan.

After about 20 seconds, the small iceberg has been burned out with a two-meter-deep hole.

"Stop it, Doris."

Zong Shen waved his arm, signaling Doris to stop.

He stepped forward quickly, reached out and touched the irregularly solidified ice beside the melting mouth.

There is a clear conclusion in mind.

This small iceberg that hides the winter treasure chest is not incapable of melting. Under the continuous roasting of the high-temperature fire dragon, it will also melt.

However, compared to ordinary ice, these small icebergs are almost as heat-resistant as metal.

Like in [Blacksmith's], the blast furnace that is often used to smelt iron ore is around 1500℃.

Zong Shen didn't know how high the temperature of the fire dragon just now was, but under such a concentrated fire stream, the temperature must not be much lower.

This is the case, it takes more than 20 seconds to melt to a depth of two meters.

And the hole that melts out is actually not big, the outermost diameter is only half a meter, and the deepest part reaches the thickness of an arm.

This is a bit outrageous. It takes at least seven or eight minutes to burn the central circle of the iceberg with the fire dragon and open up a passage for at least one person to pass through.

In this case, it is better to use the drilling machine directly. After all, the "fire-breathing" skill also needs to consume the durability of the staff.

However, "spitting fire" still has some effect.

These icefield beasts are trapped in the small iceberg. Zong Shen can completely adjust the size of the entrance to "stuck" monsters. He only needs to open up a narrow passage.

Just let these snow leopards come out one by one and die.

The first half can be opened with a magic drilling machine, and when it is about to be opened, let Doris use "fire-breathing" to melt a small passage.

"Doris, Ashiya, you all stand back."

"Cooperate for me by the side."

Zong Shen commanded quickly, and then he climbed into the cockpit with both hands and feet.

Push the power of the drill to third gear first.

[Magic Drilling Rig] Both the power of the magic core and the power of the drilling rig are divided into one to three gears, the first gear is the most powerful gear, and the third gear is the smallest gear.

The three sets of drills slowly rotated, and the sound of stirring the airflow and the sound of gear rolling appeared.

"Buzz..."

Zong Shen drove the drilling rig forward and slowly pushed up to the position where Doris was spewing fire just now. The drill bit at the front touched the ice surface and made a harsh friction sound.

The drill tip made of alloy quickly broke a breakthrough.

As the [Magic Energy Drilling Machine] slowly advanced, the thick main drill bit advanced into it.

The ice slag splashed around, and after breaking away from the body of the small iceberg, it melted into droplets of water.

When the main drill bit submerged most of the time, the auxiliary drill bits on both sides also began to contact the ice surface.

This [Magic Drilling Machine] can drill a circular or semi-circular channel with a diameter of about three meters.

After waiting for the speed of the third gear to be smooth, Zong Shen pushed the push rod of the second gear power again.

The rigs are starting to get faster and have a lot more torque.

Under such circumstances, a passage of six or seven meters deep was soon opened up.

This depth is only about half a meter of ice from the unfrozen central circle.

The snow leopards inside also became more and more violent.

It is constantly hitting the ice wall.

Not full-time, not literate, there will be burglars in the early hours of the next two days.

It's an old rule, don't repeat it
