Chapter 457: Winter Boss
"This umbrella is too broken, it still leaks, and the humidity has been rising." Xiao Youhuang complained about the flower umbrella in her hand, and a few petals suddenly fell from the top of her head. Xia Chiyu suddenly smiled dryly: "You can make do with it, you have to complain." All umbrellas will get humid, it's just a matter of how fast they rise. ”
Wearing an umbrella will still increase the humidity, the effect of the umbrella is only to slow down the growth rate of humidity, just like people walking outside with an umbrella will still get wet, and even a high-end umbrella can not completely avoid the humidity, only a top-level "umbrella" can completely avoid the increase in humidity.
But in fact, this umbrella is not an umbrella, but a hat, called "eyeball umbrella", which is made of materials dropped by a wild refreshed boss, and to wear this hat, you must remove the hat in the player's current equipment, which is to reduce the player's attributes and defense in disguise, and the pros and cons between this are weighed by the player himself.
However, even so, it was enough to make them brave the rain to move forward a little longer.
In the early stage, by making raw materials into basic materials, and then making a few umbrellas, you can upgrade your wilderness survival skills and be able to create more advanced items. However, the humidity level still couldn't accumulate too high, otherwise it would cause a significant drop in energy levels, so they set up a traveling tent and roasted a fire by the fireplace to remove the humidity and eat some food along the way.
"I feel like we're moving a lot faster this time, until our fatigue level has increased to more than 50 percent, and then we stop to roast the fire." Liu Yiyu was cooking by the stove and said with a smile.
"yes, last time I felt like I had to stop and rest every time I was tired." The situation is getting better and better, which makes Nadya feel much better, not to mention, it is also elegant to walk in the rain with an umbrella, and after so long, enter the travel tent to rest for a while. There is an indescribable feeling of comfort and comfort as if coming home.
"I really like AO and being able to use the feel of the environment to create this psychological feeling for the players." Zhang Zinuo took a deep breath, curled up on the soft chair covered with animal skins, and bent his legs and smiled comfortably. Lin Qianxue took a sip of the stewed broth in her hand, and said helplessly: "People...... Isn't this also called beating a stick to a date? ”
"But this time it's a lot farther than last time." Lacey looked at the map that was currently open, and said solemnly. "Judging from the opening of the map, we have at least walked more than 20 kilometers more than last time."
"yes, now we just need to keep going at this pace." Xia Chiyu nibbled on the barbecue and said inarticulately, "However, spring is relatively easy to deal with, I'm afraid that there will be other climates ...... next."
"I've heard them say that they have an autumn climate over there, and it seems to be the easiest climate to deal with." Lacey explained. "The weather is very cool, and there is a lot of material outside, although it will rain, but the rainy season is very short, unlike our spring climate, which basically continues to rain."
The time on this side of the Mystery Continent is different from the normal continent, it was already dusk when they came, and it turned into night after they walked for a while. After the evening. Staying outside means doing nothing, and being in the dark or not. The energy will continue to decrease, and some items that increase the energy will be required to recover.
However, the mental value reduced at night is relatively small, even if you walk in the dark for an hour, your spiritual value will only decrease by about 20% to 30% at most, and you will not enter the hallucination stage.
After the fatigue value on everyone's body is eliminated. So they got out of their tents and moved on.
"Eat fish, let's adjust the departure time tomorrow, this place has a time difference." Liu Yiyu muttered, "Every time I come over, it's already night." If you go forward at night, you have to lose your energy points, and you have to keep making torches, so you waste materials. ”
"Well, that makes sense." Xia Chiyu nodded and muttered, "According to this time difference......
An Ran said: "If we calculate according to this time difference, we play at seven o'clock in the evening, it should be exactly six o'clock in the morning here." By seven o'clock in the morning the next day, it was just enough to last until six o'clock in the evening. ”
"That's a bit of an exaggeration, isn't it...... It's been a long time since I've had an all-nighter, old man, and I don't have that energy. Xia Chiyu smiled bitterly.
"And, in fact, I found that although the time difference is different, the time of darkness and dawn is also different, and it is constantly changing." Lacey frowned and said, "The last time we came here, it was supposed to be dawn at six o'clock in the morning, and it was dark at six o'clock in the evening; But these days it's seven o'clock in the morning, and it's dark at five o'clock in the evening. ”
"Does that mean, it gets longer and darker after winter?" Xia Chiyu held his chin and groaned.
Xiao You nodded: "And I did notice that the temperature in the vicinity is getting lower and lower, when I didn't enter the tent before, I seemed to have symptoms of low-temperature frostbite, and my health dropped a little, but the temperature immediately recovered." ”
"So, we should be almost in the winter climate." Xia Chiyu frowned and said, "Anyway, we still have some time today, let's go forward, and we can light torches to move forward when it's dark." Now that we have just recovered in the tent, our energy values are relatively high, and we should be able to support our progress for a while. ”
So, everyone continued to move forward that day, and it was not off the line until more than four o'clock in the afternoon.
Before going offline, the continent where Xia Chiyu and others are located has already seen a winter phenomenon.
A little snowflakes began to fall in the sky, and the temperature began to drop. Especially at night, the temperature has dropped to the point where it can cause frostbite to the player, and they have to stop from time to time to regain their body temperature.
Since he had to stop frequently to regain his body temperature before he could move forward, it would affect his progress very much, so Xia Chiyu decided to go offline, and then gather in the training room that day to exchange information with Gu Qinyan and Su Xing's team.
On the other hand, Gu Qinyan and Su Xing have left the autumn climate and entered the summer climate. And the summer climate is even more troublesome than the winter climate on their side.
In winter, although the body temperature drops, you can restore your body temperature by baking a fire and move on, but in summer, if your body temperature is too high, you have no choice but to wait for the body temperature to dissipate. And the only way to lower your body temperature is to stand in the shade of a tree and not move. This way of lowering body temperature is very slow, and before their body temperature returns to normal, they will lose twenty or thirty percent of their health and mental value due to heat stroke, and the stay time is even worse than that of Xia Chiyu and others.
"I've heard from friends that to get through both the summer and winter climates, it seems to depend on things like 'warm stones'." Gu Qinyan said with his arms crossed.
"Warm stone? I can already make it. But I don't know how to use this thing, it's just a rock. Xia Chiyu frowned and said, "I can't see any effect on my body." ”
"Of course, it doesn't matter if you take it like this." Liu Yiyu smiled proudly, "I know how to use warm stones. To put it bluntly, that thing is a thermal insulation stone, you can keep you warm when you bake it and bring it on your body, and you can cool it down when you take it on your body, which is a thing that helps you maintain your body temperature. ”
"So that's ......" Xia Chiyu said suddenly, "How do you know?" ”
"Hmph, the Lun family has also played wild survival. Our tour leader once told us how to use this thing. Liu Yiyu said proudly, "I just happened to listen carefully at that time." ”
Su Xing shrugged his shoulders and sighed: "But, it's okay to keep warm, how to solve this cooling?" We don't have a refrigerator, and ice spells don't work against the heat in this mode. ”
"Refrigerator ......," Xia Chiyu said, frowning, "You say so, I found that there is indeed a refrigerator in the 'technology supplies' for surviving outdoors." And there are a few other items that can cool down. ”
However, the refrigerator is not a carry-on item. Instead, it can only be used in situ, that is, in temporary camps. Another cooling item, the "Cooling Fan", requires the use of a material dropped by wild mobs.
"As long as there is ice and fire, it's fine." At this time, Lacey said coldly, "I used to use it when I watched my friend confess to his girlfriend, and lit a large row of ice and fire to create an atmosphere. The fire and ice were blue, as if they were going to replace flint with a material called 'saltpeter'. When ignited, it can cool the surroundings, and it should also have a cooling effect on the warm stone. ”
"I see," Xia Chiyu said suddenly, "I'......ll just say what is the use of that saltpeter in mining." ”
The fire and ice lit by saltpeter can itself cool down, and the insulation stone is actually similar to an umbrella, which is an item that maintains the player's body temperature. Gather the wisdom of all. The next day they picked a suitable time and were ready to hit the road again.
But there's more to winter and summer than that. The problem in winter is that plants stop growing, and in the spring, materials such as hay and twigs that have been collected will grow again after a while, but in winter, they will not grow again until the end of winter, and they will become "disposable materials".
In addition, there will be fewer and fewer creatures in winter, which means that food will become a problem.
However, in comparison, Xia Chiyu feels that summer is more troublesome. The more the climate moves in summer, the faster the body temperature rises, and plants such as hay and berries "wilt" and cannot be grown or even harvested.
The most terrifying thing is that there will be a kind of "spontaneous combustion" phenomenon in summer, and the surrounding plants and animals will spontaneously combust due to high temperatures, which will cause a large-scale fire.
So in comparison, Xia Chiyu thinks it's better to be in winter.
"At least we can honestly rest in the tent for a while and get rid of the fatigue." Xia Chiyu shrugged his shoulders and said.
At this time, they nestled in a warm tent, drinking hot soup, recovering their energy while eliminating fatigue, and the tent was warm and comfortable, and it was very pleasant to listen to the blizzard raging outside. And knowing that Gu Qinyan is in dire straits on the other side...... It feels even better.
"yes, and they can only light an ice fire outdoors to cool down." Lacey said with a wry smile.
"It's more than that." Liu Yiyu said, "Ice and fire can't be used for cooking, only ordinary bonfires can do." So if they want to cook, they can only light a bonfire first, then cook it well, and then extinguish the bonfire and light the ice fire, otherwise the bonfire will be lit for a little longer, and they will all have a high body temperature and heat stroke. ”
At this time, Xiao You suddenly stared at Lin Qianxue and said curiously: "Qianxue, are you okay?" It looks like something is wrong with your face. ”
Lin Qianxue frowned slightly: "I don't know, I feel like I'm a little dizzy, stomach pain......"
Xia Chiyu was stunned, and then found that Lin Qianxue's health was indeed slowly decreasing, and at this time, there were less than eighty percent left!
"Oh no, shouldn't it be poisoned!" Xia Chiyu said nervously, "It's troublesome to be poisoned at this time, there are very few plants in winter, and it is difficult for us to collect herbs outside now......"
"It's okay, I have an antidote left." Nadya said, calling up a potion from her inventory and trading it to Lin Qianxue. After Lin Qianxue drank it, her face immediately returned from blue to ruddy, and her health stopped decreasing.
"This is the last antidote?" Xia Chiyu frowned and asked.
Nadya looked at the inventory and said, "Not really, in terms of materials, you can make another dose, but other materials are obviously lacking, especially the 'gentian' material...... Others, snake gall bladders, frog poison sacs and so on are relatively sufficient, but gentian grass has freshness, and it will rot the next day after collection. ”
"In short, the next time I see gentian grass, I will collect it first." Xia Chiyu instructed, "I think there should be something wrong with the meat of the reddish-brown wild wolf we ate today, as we continue to go deeper, this situation can become more and more, and more antidotes are needed just in case it ......"
Speaking of this, Xia Chiyu suddenly frowned, stopped talking, and didn't say anything for a while.
"What's wrong? Eat fish? Lacey asked curiously.
"Shh......h Did you hear ......" Xia Chiyu frowned, and then pointed outside the tent.
A low roar, heard from the darkness outside, pierced through the darkness and pierced in the distance in front of them, followed by a slight tremor from the ground. Apparently, some behemoth is coming. And, as if to tell them that they had heard it right, a little after the low roar had passed, another roar rang out, and it was getting closer and closer.
"Oh no, this should be ......" Xia Chiyu said in a low voice, and then hurriedly began to make torches, "Quick!" Everyone makes a torch, gets out of the tent, and lights a bonfire as fast as possible to get the fire burning to its fullest strength! Winter Boss is coming! (To be continued.) )
