Chapter 185: The Temperature Continues to Drop
Lu Jiu and the others soon encountered wild monsters. It was unknown how silver weapons would perform against wild monsters of bronze level.
[Orange-Eyed Eagle] (Bronze Enhanced)
HP: 14000
Attack: 980-1028
Speed: 55
Agility: 32
There are still five flying wild monsters in total. The three of them immediately rose into the air. Shen Jufeng was the fastest, the first one on.
To say that Ouhuang is Ouhuang, the first strike of the bone-eroding sword upon unsheathing it triggers the "snake entanglement" effect. The long sword suddenly extends and automatically wraps around an eagle.
Shen Jufeng's mind moved and he withdrew his hand. While retracting the blade of the longsword, it caused continuous damage to the wild monster.
This attack caused the wild monster to lose over a thousand blood. Compared to the previous attack, which only resulted in a loss of a few hundred bloods, it was more than half a star.
Lu Jiu immediately drew the bowstring, and the arrow that pierced Qing's bow felt lighter. After hitting the wild monster, it also inflicted over a thousand damage.
Zhuang Yun noticed that his attack value was still only in the several hundred range while playing. This made him realize that he needed to put in more effort today in order to obtain higher-quality materials from wild monsters and use them to customize his weapons.
Compared to the previous half-hour it took to deal with a group of wild monsters, this time it only took less than five minutes to handle them.
When Dou Fanrong was happy here, it was his show over there, and he encountered a group of canine monsters. Of course, these monsters had lost their cute appearance prior to the apocalypse and were comparable to ferocious beasts.
Dou Fanrong was agile and could kill a wild monster with seven or eight stabs. There were a total of thirteen wild monsters, and he killed seven of them on his own.
The teammates looked at it with envy.
When preparing to return to the city, Lu Jiu and the others happened to encounter Dou Fanrong, who was surrounded by people. Hearing the chatter over there and the word silver, Lu Jiu knew that the person who bought the latest silver weapon in the store was this person. A professional resident bought it.
"Miss Lu..."
As she was walking, she heard someone calling her.
When she turned around, she realized it was Yong Lin. The young man finally changed his clothes. The silver-gray coat made him appear more youthful.
Lu Jiu nodded in response, "It's you. Did you go out with the temporary team today?"
"Well, I already have 50 silver coins. I'll give it back to you when I see you."
Yong Lin returned the silver coins to Lu Jiu via email. Although his weapon is still at the bronze level, his ability to kill wild monsters remains very strong.
"Brother Zhuang said that the weapon you use is a whip. If we have the opportunity to form a temporary team together in the future."
Yong Lin's eyes lit up. "Okay, since I happened to run into you, I'll treat you to dinner."
He still remembered his promise: to treat a few people to the most expensive dish today.
Lu Jiu didn't refuse, and the four of them returned to the city together.
Professional players are different. It has only been a few days, and Yong Lin has no problem paying at the restaurant again.
This time, they didn't go to the private room but went upstairs to Lu Jiu's usual seat. They could see the scenery outside through the window, although there was nothing to see at the moment.
The dishes Lu Jiu ordered were all served with quenching fruit. Such dishes would be indicated on the menu, and their price would be several times higher than that of other dishes.
When it was better, she was curious about what Yong Lin's whip looked like.
"Can I take a look at your weapons? I'm really curious." She felt that she didn't notice weapons such as whips. They were likely placed in the corner of the store.
Yong Lin took his whip out of his backpack and handed it to her.
The whip is very long and can be easily held when it is rolled up in the hand. "How can you handle such a long whip?"
This whip is as tall as three Yonglins, and despite the boy's young age, he is still tall. At 1.8 meters.
"I may not have been able to use it proficiently in the past, but with the changing world, I can now effortlessly use it with ease."
He believes that the whip is more convenient than the sword because it can attack multiple targets. He is usually adept at fighting and can handle multiple wild monsters at once.
Zhuang Yun knew his fighting power very well. "I can only focus on dealing with one. Two or more are troublesome. He seems more than capable of handling two or three at the same time."
Shen Jufeng glanced at the whip and then shifted his focus to Yong Lin. If this person has no issues, it would be an excellent choice to join the team.
Hearing Zhuang Yun's unabashed praise, Yong Lin awkwardly scratched the back of his head.
As they chatted, Lu Jiu formed a better impression of Yong Lin.
After spending a few peaceful days, everyone feels that winter is almost over.
A city-state in Qiuyu City.
Professional residents in the city-state have to leave the city to clear the fields, as usual. The city-state here is still a second-level city, and the city protection shield does not have a temperature adjustment function.
The middle-aged man adjusted his clothes as soon as he walked out of the house. It was much colder today than the previous few days. It was obvious that winter was almost over and the temperature could continue to drop.
Fortunately, the clothes are warm.
"What the hell is this weather..." The middle-aged man cursed a few times and resigned himself to going out.
Starting from the second month, the refreshed wild monsters will drop firewood rewards called fire resistance, which also include fresh vegetables. For this, everyone must actively leave the city.
The firewood obtained by killing wild monsters is more durable than the firewood collected in autumn, and it lives up to its name.
The temperature produced is higher than that of ordinary firewood, making the room feel warmer and more comfortable.
After leaving the city, the middle-aged man shuffled his feet back and forth and discovered that the ground was frozen. It had stopped snowing in recent days, but the snow outside had started to freeze.
Soon, a few people walked out together. Some people crossed their arms and rubbed each other, saying, "Hey, why is it so cold? Winter only lasts three months?"
Although the first two months were also cold, they had the ability to retain heat. They didn't feel too uncomfortable even though they were wearing clothes, but today's temperature was unusually low, which they had never experienced before.
Unlike Xuantian City, where there are dedicated individuals responsible for clearing the snow, the city lord instructed the patrolling NPCs to clean it up to some extent.
When we arrived outside the city gate, the snow was higher than inside the city. Unlike before, our feet would sink when we stepped on it, but now it is firm when we step on it.
The middle-aged man saw a few people approaching and felt a little annoyed. "Didn't we agree that there would be twelve in total? Why are only a few of you here?"
The people who came stamped their feet. "Others came out and felt too cold, so they started to cry. I can't tell you the email... I also want to go home."
It was extremely cold outside, and after walking for a while, his hands became completely frozen. He didn't know what would happen if he stayed outside for a while.
The middle-aged man didn't care, even though he felt cold. "It's only half a month. It's not as if the temperature hasn't dropped before. Didn't you adapt to it in the end?"
Several people were silent. The temperature had dropped before, but not all at once. It's so much.
But the few who are willing to come all want to obtain better materials. If players are no longer able to obtain high-level weapons, dealing with higher-level wild monsters in the future will become more challenging.
"Okay, let's go. Please let's come back early today. I feel like I can't stay out for too long."
As a group of people left the city, everyone tried their best to bundle up.
There was no snow, no cold wind, and everything was completely silent. However, it was so cold that it almost froze their blood.
Now is not the time to care so much.
After walking for a while, they did not encounter any wild monsters. Someone in the small team wanted to go back, but wild monsters appeared.
Several people could barely muster the strength to drag their nearly frozen bodies into battle.
