Chapter 284: Exploration

After walking along the ice and snow road for a while, Lin Zhi and the three of them entered the human settlements and saw igloos, some like cubes and some like hemispheres. To keep warm, the walls of these igloos are thick.

Although I live on Aurora Island, when the aurora appears, many people still leave the igloo and look up outside the house, and it is hard to get tired of this strange scenery.

Through understanding, Lin Zhi knew that the human settlement here was roughly divided into two parts, the houses of the Kerman people in the east, and the dwellings of the Poseidon people and a few other ethnic groups who settled here in the west.

The goal of Lin Zhi's trip was mainly in the west, because the Kerman people's life circle was relatively small, and there were not many tasks they could accept, and the people of Poseidon often contacted each other and were more likely to accept tasks.

After searching in the west for a while, Lin Zhi and the three of them found a young man with an exclamation mark, and they were overjoyed, and then Lin Zhi took the lead and walked up.

"Friend, the three of us are adventurers of the Empire, is there anything we can do for you?" Lin Zhi came to the young man's side, briefly introduced the identities of the three of them, and then asked casually.

"Adventurer, I'm so glad to see you, winter is coming, I lack some firewood in my house, can you help me collect some wood nearby?" The young man listened to Lin Xi's words, showed some joy, and then said.

"Don't worry, it's on us." Lin Zhi readily agreed, there was a small forest behind the young man's house, and he thought that he could collect enough firewood with a little time.

Lin Zhi and the three of them, who accepted the task, quickly went to the grove, and it didn't take long for them to come to the young man's side with some dry wood and deliver the task.

"Adventurer, thank you so much, with this wood, I will be able to survive this winter safely." The young man looked at the wood, looked joyful, and then said happily.

System Prompt: Congratulations on completing the quest, gaining +10000 XP and +10000 Copper.

"Friend, we want to take on more missions, I wonder if you know where to go on the island." Lin Zhi saw that the exclamation mark on the other party's head disappeared, and knew that there was no follow-up task, so he asked tentatively.

"More tasks? The island's Adventure Society is a great place to go, and many adventurers choose to go there. It's right there in that big square igloo. The young man thought for a moment, finally remembered a place to go, and then pointed to a hazy igloo in the distance.

Lin Zhi expressed his gratitude to the other party, and then set off in the direction pointed by the young man with the old man. It wasn't long before the three of them came to the outside of the Exploration Guild's igloo.

"Friend, we are three adventurers, is this the Exploration Guild? What tasks can we accept? Lin Zhi saw a middle-aged man in a fur coat outside the igloo, so he stepped forward and asked.

"Yes, this is the Aurora Island Adventure Society, where you can accept some daily quests, and after completing five quests, you can also get a treasure map, and you can get some precious items by digging in designated locations." The middle-aged man nodded, confirmed Lin Zhi's words, and then said unhurriedly.

"Then please send us an expedition mission." Lin Zhi was overjoyed, and then said calmly.

"Okay, you know, cod is a specialty of Aurora Island, and the first task of the day is to catch a sturgeon in the frozen sea, and then give it to me, and I will reward you." The man quickly replied.

"The way to catch it is very simple, you dig a hole in the ice with your weapon, and then you put down the nets and bait that I gave you, and those sturgeon will automatically enter the nets when they smell them, and then you can just pull up the nets and get this delicious fingerling." The middle-aged man saw that Lin Zhi and the three of them showed some puzzled expressions, so he hurriedly explained.

Lin Zhi nodded, then accepted the task, obtained a fishing net and some bait, and then rushed towards the frozen sea with the old man.

When he arrived at the target, Lin Zhi quickly took off the Glory Battle Axe, then smashed a hole in the ice, and then put down the fishing net and bait as the middle-aged man said. Lao Qi and Li Xin also quickly did so.

Holding a piece of the fishing net in one hand, Lin Zhi began to wait. After a few minutes, there was a pull from the fishing net, and Lin Zhi was overjoyed, and hurriedly pulled the fishing net out of the sea.

Looking at the fishing net, there was a sea fish more than 20 centimeters long, slightly flattened, and a tentacle on the neck, and I couldn't help but think in my heart, this is the sturgeon that the man in his prime said.

After a while, Lao Qi and Li Xin also put away their fishing nets, and each of them obtained a sea fish similar to the fish caught by Lin Xi. The trio carried the fish in their nets and headed for the Adventure Society.

The three of them found the middle-aged man, then handed the fish they had caught to each other, and quietly waited for each other's reply.

"Adventurer, you are very good, these are exactly three sturgeons, and you have successfully completed the task." The middle-aged man looked at the sea fish caught by the three of them, nodded, and then said with relief.

System Prompt: Congratulations on completing the quest, gaining +20,000 experience and +20,000 copper.

Seeing that the three of them successfully completed the task, Lin Zhi took the lead in asking about the next task.

"Adventurer, ice sculpture is a major feature of the northern region, the next task is to visit the ice sculpture master of Aurora Island - Old Man Lu, he is not far ahead, you go and go back quickly." The middle-aged man saw that Lin Zhi and the three of them were about to accept the task again, so he thought about it for a while, pointed to a small square in front of him and said.

Lin Zhi and the three of them quickly accepted the task, and then rushed to the location mentioned by the other party together.

When they arrived at the square, Lin Zhi and the three of them saw many lifelike ice sculptures, some like castles, some like horses, some like cheetahs, and some like towering trees. Feeling some surprise, the three of them rushed to the coordinate point of the mission indication and saw an old man with a tool knife in his hand.

"Old man, are you the old man of the Ice Sculptor Road?" Lin Zhi stepped forward, hugged his fists, and then asked.

"Yes, adventurer, there aren't many people willing to make ice sculptures now, would you like me to show you around my work?" The old man nodded, his eyes flashing with some loss, and then asked sincerely.

"It's our pleasure." Lin Zhi quickly agreed to the other party's invitation and said.

In the next time, the old man took Lin Zhi and the three of them to walk around the large and small ice sculptures, and everywhere he went, the old man would introduce the content of the work to the three of them in high spirits. Maybe it was because he knew that Lin Zhi and the three of them were short of time, and many of their works were finished in just a few sentences, so it didn't take too much time to go around.

Realizing the wish of the old man Lu, the three of them returned to the Adventure Association together and found a middle-aged man to deliver the task.

System Prompt: Congratulations on completing the quest, gaining +20,000 experience and +20,000 copper.

"Adventurer, there are some pike crabs on the west side of the island, they are in groups, many of the people who play are injured under their pincers, can you go and destroy 20 pike crabs?" Hearing Lin Zhi and the three of them inquire about the next task, the middle-aged man groaned, and then released a new task.

Lin Zhi and the three of them accepted the task, and then set off towards the target point. The three of them are now in the western part of the island, so it doesn't take much time to get to the western coast.

The three of them went to the coordinate point of the task prompt, and soon found a group of huge crabs with bodies like shuttles, two big pincers, and a width of more than half a meter, which looked very scary.

Knowing that this was most likely the pike crab that the man in the prime of life was talking about, Lin Zhi quickly took off the glory battle axe, and released it to a crab monster with a slash, and soon learned the information of the other party, it was undoubtedly the pike crab.

The attacked pike crab quickly moved towards Lin Zhi, and Lin Zhi was not afraid, brandishing a battle axe and meeting it with the black magic knife, and soon started a grappling with the other party.

Li Xin saw that Lin Zhi had already launched an attack, and he also wielded the dragon bone axe, and with a flurry of dances, he released the past to the pike crab that was fighting with Lin Zhi, causing more than 10,000 points of damage. The old man is releasing the rain of tranquility.

These pike crabs have a hard shell, but their defense is not high, a bit of a paper tiger, Lin Zhi and Li Xin fought for a while, and they successfully eliminated a pike crab.

In the next time, the three of them worked together, spent some time, and killed a sufficient number of pike crabs, and then went to the prime of the man's side and delivered the task.

System Prompt: Congratulations on completing the quest, gaining +20,000 experience and +20,000 copper.

"Adventurer, the small army of the patrol was injured while fighting monsters, I have some healing medicine here, you can help me send it to them." The middle-aged man quickly released the next tasks to Lin Zhi and the others.

The three of them accepted the task one by one, and then rushed towards the igloo where Xiaojun was.

Xiaojun's igloo was on the southwest coast of the island, so Lin Zhi and the three of them all rode to it. Coming to the front of the igloo, Lin Zhi knocked on the wooden door. The one who opened the door was a middle-aged man, who thought it was Xiaojun's family.

The three of them quickly explained their intentions, and then they met Xiao Jun sitting in an armchair. His hand was bandaged and looked like it was broken.

Seeing someone visiting, Xiao Jun tried to get the crutches next to the chair, but failed.

Knowing that most of the other party's feet were also injured, Lin Zhi signaled him not to move.

The three of them handed over the healing medicine to each other's families, and then went to the middle-aged man to deliver the task.

System Prompt: Congratulations on completing the quest, gaining +20,000 experience and +20,000 copper.
