Inside the iron shelter, the lights flickered.
Li Xiya was very high-spirited because he killed the second-level Eye of Cthulhu.
Celia suddenly encountered an accident.
This immediately made Li Xiya at a loss.
"what's the situation?"
"Isn't Celia still fine before dinner?"
"Why did you suddenly become unconscious?"
[Your Majesty Commander, I don’t know either]
[I just handed the life crystal to Celia to take, and then followed her to upgrade the shelter's defense system]
[At that time, Celia felt a little uncomfortable and staggered a little while walking, but she kept holding on and said it was okay]
[As a result, just after the arrow tower and mage tower in the shelter were all upgraded, Celia fainted and fell to the ground]
"call……"
Li Xiya knew this, no wonder the Gargoyle broke through the sky.
He hurriedly took Celia from the arms of the Skybreaker Gargoyle and put her on the bed lying on her side.
"Your forehead isn't hot, either?"
"By the way, do the dryads have a fever?"
Li Xiya withdrew his hand from stroking Celia's forehead and said to himself.
"dinner?"
"Is there a problem with the damselfish on Sky Island?"
"wrong!"
"I also eat damselfish, so it shouldn't be a food problem."
Li Xiya frowned, lowered his head and looked at Celia carefully, and found that she was just asleep.
But his face was calm and there was no sign of pain.
"No pain? It doesn't look like you're sick..."
Li Xiya thought for a long time and suddenly clapped his hands:
"Companion planting?"
"Is it related to the fact that Celia is a companion species of the sanctuary?"
Li Xiya quickly called up the shelter panel information to check.
[Companion species: Abigail's flower (evolving)]
"evolution?"
Li Xiya clicked on the detailed information again.
I found out that it was because the shelter began to be upgraded to a silver shelter tonight.
Causing the evolution of the companion species Abigail's flowers.
But during this process, Celia needs to sleep for three days. After waking up, she can evolve from the infant stage to the growth stage.
"Huh...it's okay!"
Li Xiya took a deep breath and stretched out his hand to wipe the sweat from his forehead.
In this cold and dangerous world.
Celia is well-behaved, sensible, and innocent, just like a bright spot in an ordinary day.
Li Xiya has long been accustomed to returning to the sanctuary every time he explores and ventures from other biomes.
There were Celia's surprise calls.
All of them had Celia's greetings.
They all have nostalgia and concern for Celia.
So much so that just now Li Xiya heard that Celia fell into a coma.
It was really a shock.
Now that I think about it, I feel a little scared.
Li Xiya sat beside the bed and smiled:
"You, you, you scared my godfather to death."
"Don't make such a joke next time."
"When you enter the growth stage, your godfather promises to take you to explore and have adventures in other biomes."
Celia's long eyelashes trembled slightly, as if responding to Li Xiya.
To be honest, if possible, who would want to just stay in the shelter all day long, without leaving the door or taking a step forward, just upgrading the shelter's defense system?
Upgrading the various buildings in the shelter is not a happy thing even for Celia, who has a phobia of insufficient firepower.
Just because Li Xiya would be happy about upgrading the shelter building, Celia would work so hard to do it.
After confirming that Celia just fell into a coma and was nothing serious.
Li Xiya stood up and said to the gargoyle:
"9527!"
"Don't follow me out for the next three days. Anyway, this trip to the ice and snow biome is also a team adventure."
"You shouldn't encounter any big problems on the way. Just stay in the shelter and take good care of Celia."
The bloody eyes on the face of the sky-breaking gargoyle flickered slightly.
[Okay, Commander, 9527 promises that no more accidents will happen to Celia! 】
When Li Xiya heard this, he just patted the Gargoyle in the Sky on the shoulder.
"I told you, it's not your fault."
"And she didn't count as fainting, she just fell into a deep sleep and was gathering strength to prepare for evolution! No need to blame yourself!"
"You take care of Celia here now, I'll go get busy first!"
【yes! 】
Li Xiya walked to the shelter workshop and continued to sort out today's harvest.
This time, by destroying the cave, not only did I obtain various mineral ingot resources, but I also dropped a lot of shackles and zombie arms.
Under the influence of this week's disaster event Carnival Week Slime's Sorrow.
Everyone who kills enemies has a chance to drop gift bags and obtain various resources.
Among them, the bloody machete and the sharp-edged gloves are much stronger than the zombie arms.
This time, that time.
Once upon a time, the zombie arm, a melee weapon that was a must-have for first-line echelons, was now being sold at a low price.
Li Xiya piled the shackles and zombie arms on the table beside him.
Then Li Xiya took out [Poison Stinger x10] [Claw x6] [Ammunition Reserve Potion x1] from the Ivy backpack.
There are two active skill books, Stinger and Claw.
Perhaps Li Xiya's most valuable gain was destroying the cave and killing zombies.
The ammunition reserve potion is also the only new potion obtained after killing the second-level Eye of Cthulhu.
[Name: Ammunition Reserve Potion]
[Type: Potion·Consumption]
[Quality: Excellent]
[Effect: 20% chance of not consuming ammunition]
[Duration: 8 minutes]
[Cooling time: 30 minutes]
[Specialty requirements: Medical F, Remote F]
[Remarks: The exclusive potion of the sharpshooter of the Royal Guards of the Kingdom of Golden Rose, for the glory of the Queen of Rose! 】
20% no ammunition consumption?
This is a good way to save resources.
Because of the combined attack method of bows and arrows, the damage of archers has always been higher than that of melee professions.
Long-range shooters can avoid close contact with enemies, which is a more popular choice for many people.
But with the emergence of flaming arrows and clown arrows.
If the archer profession wants to maintain its high damage, it must spend resources to synthesize higher-level arrows.
This also means that the daily combat of the shooter profession consumes more and more resources.
The effect of this bottle of ammunition reserve potion can reduce the shooter's resource consumption, which is still very good.
However, for Li Xiya.
At this stage, whether it is the Clown Arrow or the Flame Arrow, the resources required can be afforded by myself.
And since there are clown arrows and flaming arrows, there should be higher-level arrow formulas in the future.
So Li Xiya directly stored the bottle of medicine in an iron storage box and kept it as a strategic resource reserve.
Then Li Xiya picked up a skill book with an image of an armed zombie on the cover.
[Skill name: Claw]
[Skill attribute: active·permanent mastery]
[Magic points consumed: 10 points]
[Cooling time: 30 seconds]
[Effect: It can only be used when the player holds a glove weapon. After hitting the enemy, it will cause 35 points of basic damage, and there is a 20% probability of being accompanied by the bloody slaughter debuff: causing 4 points of damage per second, lasting 9 seconds]
[Learning requirements: Melee F]
[Remarks: Super short cooldown, super powerful burst! Melee active skill Claw, you deserve it]
Li Xiya shook his head after checking the information about the claw skills.
Melee skills, limited to weapons or gloves.
Although workbenches of various levels also have standard recipes for glove weapons.
However, glove weapons are fast, do low damage, and have a short melee range.
Li Xiya has always ignored this type of standard weapons.
After all, Li Xiya still understands the principle that every inch is long and every inch is strong.
Fortunately, although I can't use the Claw Skill Book, I can always sell some resources.
Li Xiya put it on the table and picked up a skill book with the image of a rotten wood zombie on the cover.
[Skill name: Poison Sting]
[Skill attribute: active·permanent mastery]
[Magic points consumed: 10 points]
[Cooling time: 1 minute]
[Effect: It can only be used when the player holds a staff weapon. It will spray 5 poisonous stingers at once, each causing 10 points of basic damage, and there is a 30% probability of being poisoned as a debuff: causing 6 points of damage per second. Lasts 8 seconds]
[Learning requirements: Master F]
[Note: Killing dead wood zombies has a small chance of dropping the poison sting skill, which is one of the universal skills of the mage profession]
"10 points of basic damage?"
Li Xiya frowned slightly.
Even if he now has 7 points of spirit, each stinger can only cause 17 points of damage.
The enemy's defense is slightly higher. What's the difference between this damage and tickling?
Sure enough, it was just a skill book dropped by the most basic enemies, and it was incomparable with the skill books dropped by gem mines and empty islands.
"Forget it, sell them all!"
Li Xiya directly logged into the trading platform, put all these resources on the store shelves, and launched a wave of clearance sales.
Mosquito legs are also meat!
[Successfully sold Claw x1 and obtained Silver Ingot x100]
[Successfully sold stinger x1 and obtained silver ingot x100]
【……】
The system beeps continuously.
Li Xiya called out his personal panel.
[Scarlet Points: 7760]
[The number of scarlet points required to assimilate the Cthulhu Shield into a scarlet exclusive: 50,000 points]
"Young Wings need 30,000, Cthulhu Shield needs 50,000..."
Although I have been busy destroying caves and killing zombies this afternoon.
But the scarlet points gained from killing zombies are too few.
Li Xiya glanced at the accessories column and found that with the current scarlet points, the accessories could not be enhanced by scarlet assimilation.
He simply came to the sanctuary courtyard and spent all his scarlet points to enhance the 77 iron rocket towers with scarlet assimilation.
It's dark now.
Celia fell into a deep sleep, with the Skybreaker Gargoyle taking care of her.
Li Xiya returned to the master bedroom and went to sleep.
Early the next morning.
It's just dawn.
At this moment, the upgrade time of the shelter has not ended yet.
Li Xiya finished washing and waited for Wang Caiyi's call.
Along with this, a flowing curtain of light appeared in the courtyard of the shelter.
Li Xiya stepped in and officially began his team exploration journey.
…
Ice biome.
Tenacious coniferous trees, snow-covered peaks, and icy and slippery roads.
There was no life at all where the eyes came, but instead a feeling of loneliness.
The cold wind carried the goose-feather blizzard and blew endlessly.
It forms a rare northern scenery.
A warm bonfire burned in the cave.
Everyone was sitting around shivering and warming themselves by the fire.
Li Xiya is also looking at the new team members.
Wang Caiyi is a strong man with a relatively strong build. He is also the inheritor of ice magic. Coming to the ice and snow biome is like coming home.
His ability to withstand the cold is the strongest among all.
Wang Fugui, who is broad and fat, with a fat head and big ears, looks quite kind.
At this moment, Wang Fugui was setting up an iron pot over the campfire.
Delicious mushroom soup is cooking in the pot.
Everyone is looking forward to it.
In the extremely cold weather, everyone was looking forward to the pot of mushroom soup in front of them.
Li Bianqing swallowed his saliva and said:
"Brother Fugui, I didn't expect you to have such a skill? It's amazing!"
"Yes, yes, it smells so good!"
Xu Hongdou also nodded repeatedly.
Wang Caiyi said with a proud expression:
"My brother is not simple. Before he came to this other world, he was a first-class chef. His cooking skills are beyond words!"
"When we two brothers were in dire straits, we relied on him to cook for the first-tier players for a fee in exchange for resources..."
Speaking of this, Wang Caiyi also expressed some emotion:
"If it weren't for Fugui, I might have died in the wave of enemies!"
"Hey, what are you talking about? It's all over!"
Wang Fugui waved his hand and said:
"Let's have soup, let's have soup!"
After everyone drank the soup, their bodies also warmed up.
In fact, the ice and snow biome is cold and freezing.
However, as long as the player's digitized body has not been debuffed by frost.
The cold is bearable.
At first, everyone came to the ice and snow biome for the first time and did not adapt.
Now after drinking a bowl of steaming, fragrant mushroom soup.
One and two of them also recovered.
Wang Caiyi put down the bowl, took out a magic wand from his backpack, stood up and handed it to Li Xiya respectfully:
"Great God Xiya, thank you for giving Fugui the heavy arrow skill!"
"This is also the first time that Fugui and I have teamed up to visit a two-star biome."
"This ice blade magic wand is too careless and disrespectful."
"Fugui's strength is relatively weak, so I'd like to trouble you to take care of him along the way!"
Li Xiya smiled slightly:
"It's easy to say that we are all teammates who fight together. There is no reason for me to ignore death, don't worry!"
"Hey, thank you, Great God Xiya."
Wang Caiyi agreed, came to Xu Hongdou and Li Bianqing one after another, and gave each of them an ice blade magic wand.
Li Xiya felt quite emotional when he saw his behavior.
Even Wang Caiyi himself is the inheritor of ice magic.
But for the safety of his brother Wang Fugui, he was willing to lower his status and show his kindness to other people in the team.
This Wang Caiyi is not simple!
Li Xiya picked up the Ice Blade Magic Wand and looked at it intently.
[Name: Ice Blade Magic Wand]
[Type: Magic Weapon]
[Quality: Excellent]
[Skill: Instant Ice Blade Technique (consumes 5 magic points to cause 23 points of basic damage to the enemy, fixed with frost debuff: 8 points of damage per second, duration 5 seconds)]
[Durability: 200]
[Specialization requirements: Mage E]
[Remarks: An ice magic weapon made by Wang Caiyi, the second-level ice magic inheritor, after mastering the ice blade magic rune]
The Ice Blade Magic Wand and the Fireball Magic Wand are both the strongest magic wands that Li Bianqing and Wang Caiyi can produce at this stage.
But when compared, the difference can be clearly seen.
The base damage of Instant Ice Blade reaches 23 points, which is higher than the 20 damage of Instant Fireball.
And the frost debuff is, as always, a bit stronger than the fire debuff.
Even for Li Xiya, this ice blade magic wand is considered a good mage weapon.
Seeing that Wang Caiyi was so smart, Li Xiya turned around and said:
"Brother Bian Qing, Hongdou, the three of us will share 50% of the resources harvested by the collective during this exploration, and the two of them will share 50%. How about that?"
Xu Hongdou shrugged upon hearing this and said:
"I have no objection. After all, the invitation letters belong to Wang Caiyi!"
Li Bianqing smiled and said:
"Don't look at me. Brother Xi Ya has no objection. I definitely have no objection!"
Li Xiya nodded and said:
"Okay, after I drank your bowl of mushroom soup and got your ice-blade magic wand, I guarantee that you will come back intact on this exploration adventure!"
Unexpectedly, Wang Caiyi waved his hands when he heard this distribution plan:
"Great God Xiya, this is not possible!"
"In this case, aren't we brothers taking advantage of you?"
"fine."
Li Bianqing played with the Ice Blade Magic Wand and explained:
"This is the rule of our team. Whoever sends the invitation will get the big prize!"
Wang Fugui and Wang Caiyi looked at each other and quickly shook their heads.
"No, this distribution plan really doesn't work!"
Wang Caiyi said:
"Since it's me who issued the invitation, then I'll come up with the distribution plan, right?"
"Okay, just say it!"
Li Xiya nodded.
Wang Caiyi said:
"The resources obtained collectively will be divided equally!"
The total resources they harvest under this plan will be reduced by 10%.
But Wang Caiyi felt that if he could use this 10% profit to exchange for the friendship between Li Xiya and the others.
Then this deal is worth thousands of dollars.
Li Xiya looked at Xu Hongdou and Li Bianqing, and the three of them made eye contact.
Then Xu Hongdou stood up and said with a smile:
"Okay, since you said so, I listen to you!"
"I have some accessories that I don't need. You and your brother can pick them out!"
Li Bianqing also took out two fireball magic wands and handed them to Wang Fugui and Wang Caiyi.
"Huh? This won't work... This will cost you too much."
Wang Fugui was a little cautious when he saw this and waved his hand quickly.
"Keep it!"
Li Xiya stood up and took out the pumpkin pie, Luna Brand Weak Healing Potion and two pairs of basic tin rocket boots from his Ivy backpack, and handed them to the two of them.
From this moment on, Li Xiya and the others officially accepted the Wang Caiyi brothers.
The team took a short rest and adapted to the environment of the ice and snow biome.
Everyone extinguished the bonfire.
Braving the wind and snow, we began this exploration adventure.
Outside the cave, there is a winding path filled with snow.
The location where the five-person group teleported this time happened to be halfway up the mountain.
Everyone planned to go down the mountain first and explore further.
Xu Hongdou's undead miner has a treasure hunting function, and Li Xiya's metal detector also has a treasure hunting function.
As long as the scope of exploration is large enough, you should be able to gain a lot.
"etc!"
Unexpectedly, everyone had just left the cave and walked along the winding path for less than a minute.
Xu Hongdou suddenly waved his hand to make everyone stop.
"What's wrong?"
Li Xiya asked in a low voice.
Xu Hongdou frowned slightly:
"Didn't you hear that?"
Li Bianqing asked:
"What did you hear?"
"It seems like someone at the top of the mountain is asking for help again!"
Xu Hongdou signaled everyone to be quiet again.
Sure enough, it didn't take long, amidst the roar of wind and snow.
Everyone could vaguely hear someone shouting for help on the top of the mountain.
Li Xiya looked at the monster radar, but there was no enemy icon displayed.
Did you encounter other players as soon as you entered this huge ice and snow biome?
