In the courtyard outside the house, Luo Qi was handling various herbs.

Luo Qi heard that Xia Hao was going to collect medicinal herbs for his father, and he was very grateful, not to mention that Xia Hao's favorability increased by 10 points again, and he also gave Xia Hao fifty superb instantaneous blood bottles! The amount of blood replenished by these blood vials is 500 points higher than the most expensive blood vials sold in the main city now!

This is a 500-point HP recovery value, which can even determine the life and death of a player in an emergency!

Leaving Rhodes' house, Xia Hao came to the waterhole at the foot of the Fire Refining Mountain again. According to Rod, the frost grass was in the depths of the pool, and Xia Hao naturally wanted to dive into the pool.

When Fang just jumped into the pool to rescue Rhodes, Xia Hao felt that the water in this pool was cold and biting. If it is a normal pool, a normal player can sneak in it for a minute, but this pool in front of you is obviously not ordinary, and the unusually cold pool water will reduce the player's diving time in the water.

According to Xia Hao's estimate, he can hold his breath in this cold pool for 40 seconds at most.

After Xia Hao made preparations, he took a breath and plunged into the pool.

In the pool, Xia Hao's vision was somewhat affected, but he was barely able to see.

The biting pool water was like a cold current, invading Xia Hao in waves, but Xia Hao looked at his breath-holding time, which seemed to be longer than he imagined.

This should be related to the increase in Ice Resistance after completing the Magic Temple exploration quest before. Xia Hao thought to himself in his heart. Although Xia Hao's breath-holding time was as long as 50 seconds, it was still not enough for Xia Hao to find the frost grass.

After the breath-holding time was over, Xia Hao was forced to return to the water, and he didn't see the shadow of frost grass at all. Xia Hao dived into the water repeatedly to explore, but what he saw in his eyes was nothing other than the stone wall of the Fire Refining Mountain.

It seems that it still doesn't dive deep enough. Xia Hao thought to himself and slowly walked back to the village.

Xia Hao went to Rod's house first and informed Rod's of his problem.

After hearing this, Rhodes said apologetically: "I forgot to tell you before, if you want to go deep into the cold pool to find the frost grass, you must use special underwater equipment. I had the village blacksmith Li forge a helmet for me to breathe underwater, but the last time I dived into the cold pool, I found that when I went to a certain depth, the water temperature dropped rapidly. ”

"The water temperature was too low, which directly caused the equipment to be damaged, and I had to return to the water, so the frost grass was naturally not harvested." Rod sighed helplessly, "If it really doesn't work, forget it......"

Xia Hao also knew that it was extremely difficult to collect Frost Grass, but in order to refine the Frost Grass, he had to put a lot of effort into it, and now the key question was, how much Fire Refining Grass did Rhodes have in his hands?

Rhodes had also said before that he collected the Fire Refining Grass in order to refine a potion with the Frost Grass, if Rod only had one Fire Refining Grass in his hand, then Xia Hao would be useless even if he found the Frost Grass.

"Uncle, the frost grass can't be harvested for the time being, so why don't I collect the fire refining grass for you?"

Rod politely refused: "Fire Refining Grass doesn't need to worry, I have collected more than one plant on the Fire Refining Mountain, which is enough for me to use, and now the biggest problem is Frost Grass, if you can't solve the anti-freezing problem of underwater breathing equipment, Frost Grass can't be collected at all." ”

"Uncle, is there still fire refining grass on the Fire Refining Mountain?" Xia Hao was most concerned about this problem, if there was still fire refining grass on the Fire Refining Mountain, he could use the Flying Hook to climb up and collect it by himself.

Rod's words disappointed Xia Hao, he shook his head and said: "The various herbs on the Fire Refining Mountain are not easy to grow, and I only collect them once in a while, as for the Fire Refining Grass, it is even more rare, for so many years, it is the first time that I have collected such a precious herb as the Fire Refining Grass!" ”

I'll go, you mean, if I want to get the Fire Refining Grass, I can only find the Frost Grass for you! Xia Hao thought helplessly.

In the game, some rules cannot be changed, although Xia Hao saved Rod's life, but for Rod himself, he didn't value it, so he only added 20 points of favorability to Xia Hao, but if Xia Hao could find Frost Grass for Rod, it might be another result.

It seems that the only way to improve the underwater equipment is to think about it. Xia Hao thought secretly.

"Uncle, then I'll go to Blacksmith Li first to ask about the situation, don't worry, I will definitely find the frost grass for you." Xia Hao said.

Rod's eyes showed excitement, "Then I'll wait for your good news!" ”

System: Rod's opinion of you increases by 10 points.

Just listening to Xia Hao's assurance, the favorability can be increased by 10 points, which can also be seen how important this frost grass is to Rod.

Xia Hao inquired about Blacksmith Li's location from Rhodes, and then went to the village to find Blacksmith Li.

Blacksmith Li was shirtless, tempering a rudimentary weapon, and beside Blacksmith Li, there was a kind old man standing, but he was obviously bothered by something, and his face was worried.

Xia Hao walked over, saluted Blacksmith Li, and said, "Blacksmith Li, I want you to build a device for me that can breathe underwater, I wonder if you are free?" ”

"I heard from the villagers that someone saved Rod, it should be you, right? Did you build an underwater breathing device to go to the cold pool to find frost grass? Blacksmith Li asked.

Xia Hao nodded yes.

Blacksmith Li said with a regretful face: "I am friends with Rhodes, you saved him, I should have helped you, but unfortunately I don't have the ore to build equipment at hand now, and I am also powerless." ”

"Ore? Whatever you need, I'll find it. Xia Hao assured without hesitation.

Blacksmith Li reported a series of materials, and finally added: "These materials are only used to repair the underwater equipment damaged by Rhodes last time, but if you want to find the frost grass, you will need a lot of flame stones that can resist the power of frost." ”

"Can you use flame stones to improve the frost resistance of underwater equipment?" Xia Hao asked with wide eyes.

Blacksmith Li nodded and said, "Not bad!" ”

Xia Hao was overjoyed, there were not many other ores in his hands, but the most important thing was the flame stone, he didn't expect that the equipment frost problem that plagued Rhodes would be solved so easily.

"Then please wait a minute, I'll find these materials for you right away." Xia Hao finally saw the dawn of the poison of freeing slavery, and naturally couldn't wait.

Just as Xia Hao was about to leave, the kind-eyed old man suddenly spoke: "Warrior, you said you could find the ore to craft weapons?" The old man has a reluctant request, I hope you can help. ”

Xia Hao didn't understand where he had triggered other tasks, so he said, "Uncle, what do you want me to help with?" ”

"I'm the head of this village, but our village is often attacked by monsters, I just asked Blacksmith Li to make weapons, so that the villagers can guard the village, but Blacksmith Li told me that the ore to build weapons has run out, I don't know if you can help?" (To be continued.) )
