0086 Frozen Ape
Rolley's face was a little sluggish as the magma turned orange.
"I still have more than a thousand barrels of magma like this, and if there is a caravan at the junction, it will continue to deliver energy to Xueman Province."
Listening to Li Li's introduction, Luo Lai still hadn't come to his senses, and he continued to explain: "If you feel that the range of magma that can be affected by a bucket of magma is too small, you can still pour it out, of course, it is difficult to spread in the house, and it is easy to burn down your lord's mansion, so I won't show it to you." ”
"If it can be used on a large scale, of course I would like to... I just don't know what conditions Lord Li Li has? ”
Rolley asked cautiously.
"Money."
"Nope."
Luo Lai's frank and direct answer made Li Li speechless.
However, depending on the state of Cold Star City, it is indeed a bit difficult to come out.
And this is still a very close area to the province of Dort, a city-state in the far core area, so it goes without saying.
It must also be affected by the severe cold, and the tinkling of poverty.
"What about the unique property?"
"Well, there is a kind of ice crystal gourd, but because it can't be boiled in the pot, it can't be produced yet."
"You ice crystal gourd... Isn't it made of hawthorn? ”
Li Li asked tentatively.
"No, it's a wild and natural hawthorn unique to Snow Man Province."
"Hughes, let's go."
After Li Li finished speaking, he got up with Xiusi.
"Don't... What do you want to talk about? ”
Rolley was in a hurry.
Li Li wanted to help stabilize the situation in Xueman Province, but he didn't want to help in vain.
Although the cost of magma barrels is not high, if you want to have a long-term stable supply, it is necessary to have a chamber of commerce to undertake freight business.
The cost of this coming and going has skyrocketed, not to mention that Accabel is also going to use it to carry out the transformation business of Flame City.
Li Li can't always subsidize it.
"You Xue Man don't have any money, there is always something that can be discounted."
"Hmm... I can't be the master myself, but how about selling the central region to Invincible City? ”
Rolley pondered for a moment, and then made a very surprising proposal.
Theseus leaned into his ear and reminded: "The central region is the core area of the snowman province, which is about the same size as the southern part of Dort, because of the extreme cold, so no lord has been willing to settle in, in short, it is a very pitted place. ”
"Are there any signs of biological activity?"
Li Li asked instead.
"Yes, but it's hard to deal with, even the hunters of Xueman Province rarely set foot in it."
Rolley informed.
Li Li felt that in such a harsh environment, there could still be creatures to survive, and the species there would definitely not be simple.
"Okay, I agreed, the ownership of the central region is exchanged for 10,000 barrels of magma, which of you can call the shots, hurry up and negotiate as soon as possible."
After Li Li agreed, Luo Lai went to work.
Two days later, the lords who arrived one after another finally agreed to the purchase plan after discussion.
Letting a provincial lord occupy an area within the territory out of thin air is certainly not a good thing.
But for the current Xueman Province, it is a question of whether it can survive, and the loss of territory is insignificant in comparison.
However, the current situation in Misty City gave Li Li a little headache.
However, fortunately, there is still a lot of fertile land in the east, and the problem of food is not solved, but it is the possibility of a long-term economic recession.
No way, if magma barrels are widely used, who will buy wood at a high price.
The purchase agreement was reached, and a small signing ceremony was held the next day.
The 17 lords of Xueman Province who have heads and faces have all stamped their [lord seals] on the contract.
Some of them showed strong hostility, but Li Li didn't pay attention to it at all.
After the ceremony, he took Wang Qiang and Xiusi to the central region together.
As for his troops, all but the Obsidian Golem followed, and all the others set off for Dort Province.
"Li Li, aren't you afraid that someone will ambush us?"
After riding the [Snow Elk] for three hours, Xius asked suspiciously.
Li Li looked at the vast snowfield and asked, "Do you know where we are?" ”
"I don't know."
"That's right, we don't know where we are, how do they intercept it."
"Uh... Okay, but is it really necessary to be in such a hurry? ”
"Before the change, there was no need to be in a hurry..."
Seeing that there was no one around, Li Li confided in Xiusi about the situation in Tianxing Province.
"From the Fall of the Catastrophe..."
After hearing this, the whole person was stupid.
He had a vague feeling of unreality, as if such a thing was not going to happen in the current dimension.
"Hey, so whatever kind of power we can use, we must master it as soon as possible."
Li Li informed.
"No problem! If there is a need for me, even if it is a natural ability, I will contribute without reservation. ”
Hughes was resolute.
"Uh... Okay, you may not need it in the short term, you just try to pay attention to the trends of Xueman Province, there was no such territory before, I was still worried about how to enter here, and now I can establish a city-state in the name of it, which is quite a good result, but I am afraid that people here will have any different intentions. ”
Li Li prepared for the worst.
If Dort can't hold on, then retreat to Snowman first.
"Well, I'll let the intelligence services pay more attention when I get back."
After two days of marching towards the Midlands, the temperature was too low for even the magma barrels to resist.
Li Li guessed that this would happen, so he distributed the pickaxes and dug tunnels together to start the journey underground.
As for the obsidian golem, it stays on the ground and moves forward simultaneously, using the golem core to confirm the situation above.
To Li Li's surprise, it took an average of 50 layers of [Ice Crystal Blocks] to reach the soil on the surface.
When digging to a thickness of about 30 blocks underground, the low temperature situation is greatly improved.
"Is there really a living thing that can survive in the environment above?"
Wang Qiang, who was holding a double-wielding mine pickaxe, said in disbelief.
"A cabay can swim in magma, and it's understandable that there's life here."
Li Li responded.
The three of them took turns digging for four days.
When you are hungry, you eat nuts and peas, and when you are thirsty, you drink water from melting glaciers.
I slept in the minecart when I was sleepy, and finally arrived at the core of the central region.
However, the construction of the city-state did not go smoothly at the beginning of the period, and Li Li only piled up a few [stone cubes], and he had to immediately return to the underground covered with magma around him, and it would be warm for a long time before he could continue construction.
The good news is that under the experience of ultra-low temperature environment, Li Li's passive skill [Cold] level is also increasing rapidly.
After persisting for a day, the time to come to the surface in a single time was enough to complete the construction of a low wall.
After the first room was capped the next day, a magma pool was laid on the ground of the house, and [Sunlight Balls] were placed on the roof of the shed, which had reached a temperature that ordinary people could adapt to.
So far, Li Li's construction speed has advanced by leaps and bounds, and it only took two days to build a fully functional castle.
The next step in bioprospecting is more difficult.
Li Li and Wang Qiang can only be constantly exposed to the wind and snow to improve the level of the [Cold] skill.
As for Theseus, they don't have similar characteristics at all, and can only help with some logistical support work in the castle.
Although Wang Qiang's skill level improvement progress is not as good as Li Li's.
However, I stumbled upon the Berserker skill [Boiling Blood], which has a strong effect against the cold.
However, there is a precondition that can only be triggered by low HP, so combined with the characteristics of [Blood Mage] that can control its own blood element, a [Blood Spear] was condensed first.
In this way, if you sense that the cold is difficult to resist, use [Boiling Blood].
If there is physical discomfort caused by ischemia, the [Blood Spear] will be fused into the body to relieve it.
Wang Qiang also gave this trick a name, called [Dynamic Transformation Blood Cold Protection Technique].
In this way, both of them have met the conditions to be able to travel in the central part of the country.
As for how not to get lost, the obsidian statue became the best signpost.
"Ice finch, frozen fox, polar mole..."
Half a day passed, and Li Li muttered about the species found here, but he really didn't find that they had corrupting value.
The combat power of a large number is not strong enough, and the number of combat power strong enough is pitiful.
In short, there is nothing suitable for large-scale group operations.
"I'm hungry..."
Wang Qiang, who was haggard, was obviously not as energetic as Li Li.
"Are you hungry or anemic?"
Li Li asked.
"I'm hungry."
"Then eat some pea nuts."
"Gross..."
When Wang Qiang heard these two foods, he retched directly.
"Well, I've been eating a little more lately, so I'm going to hunt some prey."
After Li Li finished speaking, he built a hut for Wang Qiang.
After that, he ran to the [Snow Rabbit] gathering area that he had just discovered.
However, before he could get close to the entrance of the cave, a roar resounded through the mountains and forests.
Li Li hurriedly crawled on the snow to hide his whereabouts, moved to a hillside, and looked down.
[Snow Gorilla] lv.59
Seeing nearly 100 white-haired gorillas with a height of nearly 4 meters and knotted muscles, Li Li was also stunned.
At this time, a [Snow Rabbit] jumped out of the hole and was hit by a [Snow Gorilla] on the spot.
[Snow Rabbit] turned into [Snow Rabbit Jelly Meat Sauce] a few times.
"Snow rabbits are so cute, why are they so cruel."
Li Li said in thought, thinking that this group of orangutans is really sad.
But when I thought that I was here to hunt [Snow Rabbit] and roast it, I instantly felt as if I was not qualified to talk about the other party.
At this time, a [Frozen Fox] who was not a big deal to watch the excitement next to him was caught, dang! While! Two more punches to death.
"It's brutal."
Li Li, who was waiting, commented again.
[Snow Gorilla Leader] moved his ears slightly, and turned his head to look in the direction where Li Li was.
A man and an ape looked at each other for a moment.
Li Li got up and ran away.
Oh!!!
The [Leader of the Gorillas in the Snow Plains] raised his chest to the sky and blasted the hammer, and after a burst of roar, he led the group to chase over.
"Wang Qiang! Wang Qiang! Come out! ”
Wang Qiang, who suffered from fatigue due to long-term blood loss, was originally drowsy.
After hearing Li Li's shout, he suddenly woke up and rushed out of the door.
After running a short distance, the cabin behind him was shattered by a punch from the [Snow Gorilla].
Li Li turned around and threw out two mining pickaxes, and Wang Qiang immediately understood after catching them, and quickly began to dig on the spot.
Only then did he get rid of the pursuit of the orangutans.
The two men who met in the underground tunnel were obviously still apprehensive.
"What's the situation?"
"At first they beat the bunny, then the fox... In short, it is a violent attack on all living things that appear in the field of vision. ”
Li Li explained.
"It's too manic."
"I guess it's too cold and there are no entertainment activities."
Li Li speculated.
"But depending on the number and physical fitness, if you can destroy the corrupt troops, it should be very powerful, but the combat power is too strong, even if you dispatch all the existing ground forces, you may not be able to win."
Wang Qiang speculated.
"I'll send a golem over to see what happens."
After Li Li finished speaking, he activated the [Psychic Vision] and began to control a nearby [Corrupted Golem].
What he didn't expect was that when the [Snow Gorilla] saw a black and purple cube without any breath of life, he was also unrelenting, and he came up with a fierce fist and a hammer.
The strength of obsidian can still be held, but Li Li can't hold on.
Because in the [Psychic Vision], there is nothing else to be seen except for the chaotic fists that keep hammering over.
"What kind of creature is this, for Mao to see anything, he has to come up with a hammer."
Li Li was also speechless.
Even though there were thousands of strange species in the subancient continent, he never imagined that such a strange orangutan would exist.
However, the revelation of this strange characteristic provided Li Li with a way to eliminate the other party.
"Wang Qiang, you said that if we build a large magma pool, and then lure these orangutans to the side, and you keep taunting on the other side, they will be tricked to cross the magma pool and beat you?"
"What are you kidding, no matter how strong these orangutans are, they can't swim in the lava like an akabe, let alone beat me up... Wait, you mean wipe them out with a pool of magma! It's a good idea, but if you sink to the bottom of the magma pool for too long, will even the bones melt away? ”
Wang Qiang feels that it is feasible, but there are still difficulties in the details.
"You can set up an outlet at the bottom to drain the magma from below in time."
Li Li gave suggestions for improvement.
The two soon returned to the castle, measured the height and distance, and then proceeded with the construction.
After a busy all-night, a huge rectangular empty trough appeared in front of the castle.
Li Li knew that in the early stage, if he wanted to establish a stronghold in the central core area, the magma barrel was an indispensable thing.
So only 1,100 barrels of magma were delivered to the lords of Xueman Province in advance.
Coupled with the malleability of the block magma flowing, the remaining more than 300 barrels are enough to fill the empty slot.
The next step was to lay a long, narrow wooden bridge on both sides of the slot.
After all, there is a difference between simple mania and brain damage.
If you pass the [Snow Gorilla], you really have to be stupid to the point of jumping directly.
Then this race may not be able to survive today.
Therefore, appropriate stimulation is very important, and it is best to make the other party feel that they are close to the eyes and can easily touch and beat.
In this way, it is easier to stimulate the tyrannical emotions of the other party.
When everything was ready, Wang Qiang stepped on the wooden bridge and left the castle, starting the most dangerous part of the whole plan.
Lure the Snow Gorilla to the castle!
"Wang Qiang! Come on! ”
Li Li at the head of the city waved his hand to cheer for him.
"This little thing is nothing, wait for my good news."
Wang Qiang turned around, leaving a confident smile, and quickly disappeared into the snowfield.
