After replacing the full set of detection fog balls, Li Ming lit a bonfire by the edge of the pit.

As the night progresses, the temperature drops again.

Drink the whole bottle of hot drink, even if the campfire is in front and the flame of the shield axe is behind.

The one person and one cat who hugged each other in the middle still felt very cold, and their physical strength was also losing rapidly.

The reason for this is that they only have a makeshift snowdrift to protect against the cold wind.

The big pit where the black giant sword is placed is a suitable place, but the cats have not yet arrived at the scene, and the environment below is too gloomy.

"Can't sleep."

"Me too."

One person and one cat got up and started warm-up exercises.

Bobo's [Cold Body Hair (Black)] can effectively protect against the cold, but it conflicts with the [Mineral Skin], so Li Ming did not load it this time.

Summoning the fog ball reserve that floated around his body, up to three circles, Li Ming studied it.

Soon his gaze fell on a purple ball of mist.

The Behemoth [Snow Armor] hasn't been stuffed yet, why don't you try it now?

Li Ming originally thought of a safer area, and then tried to stuff it in.

But you don't need to be as deeply integrated as you would be when you slay a dragon, and you can go back to master the moves with memory.

And although the memory fragments that I personally felt were very long, judging from the observation records of Mi Duoduo, the process was only more than ten seconds.

The overall risk is completely manageable.

In addition, after the [Snow Armor] is suitable, there is a high probability that it will come with a certain ability to keep out the cold, which is exactly what Li Ming needs at present.

"Midodo, get ready for the record."

"You're going to chirp! Do new research to try? ”

"That's right."

Li Ming said, using his fingers to remove the teardrop-shaped snot ice crystals from Mi Duoduo's nose.

After a short preparation, the fog ball is stuffed into the chest.

Call! Call!

The wind and snow cover the sky, and the cold wind rumbles.

Li Ming, who was holding the ground with four hooves, slowly marched forward in a group of blackened waves.

Warm, soothing, safe.

The experience was pretty good.

If the baby Bobo hadn't been eaten, he would still be quite happy

No, it's a memory regression of the behemoth.

Bang~Bang~

Two dull slaps rang out, and several hanging cones-shaped ice crystals fell from the edge of the platform above.

A monster figure probe, looking down.

The wave group marched for a brief moment, then converged and increased its frequency.

A few Bobo cubs in the center quickly huddled together.

Only then did Li Ming realize that his hair was white, which was obviously different from the gray-black Bobo cub.

Oh!

A roar rang out from above.

Well. I'm familiar with this roar.

Even though the juvenile behemoth was running with the team, it didn't look back.

Li Ming still judged from the roar that the cry came from the roaring dragon.

Boom! Boom!

The sound of galloping heavy stomping on the ground sounded, followed by another roar.

Since he had just fought in the hunt, Li Ming was sure that it was sent by another giant beast.

Then there was a rumbling sound of shaking the mountains.

It seems that this is the giant beast hiding its cubs in the bobo group.

Otherwise, once you encounter danger, it is indeed not easy to deal with.

The giant beast is about to fight off the dragon, and the cubs are shivering.

Thinking of this scene, anyone would feel that the odds are not very good.

As I pondered, the wind and snow dissipated, and the soft sunlight fell on the snow.

At the same time, the perspective rises sharply, and two shovel-shaped tusks appear in front of him.

It's grown up, so fast.

According to the previous backtracking scenes, there should be a time when the giant beast will be memorable.

Li Ming saw that on the snow not far in front of him, a group of Bobos were taking a leisurely walk.

Oh!

After getting acquainted, a cry rang out.

The wave group accelerates and flees.

Li Ming turned around, and a dark yellow monster with a head similar to a Tyrannosaurus rex and four claws crawling on the ground appeared on the snow behind him.

Call~

The elephant's trunk, covered with blue fluff, rises high.

The behemoth responded with a roar.

Haha, Boom Dragon, you also have today, let me feel what the size advantage is.

A dragon and an elephant collided head-on, and then began a grappling.

The head of the giant beast was soon covered with claw marks, and the dragon that had been hit several times by the top movement was also uncomfortable.

The only thing that is cooler may be Li Ming, who enjoys the crushing of his body.

After the dragon was repulsed, the giant beast sucked the frost and snow with its trunk, covering the wound.

The snow fog gradually blindfolded his eyes, and the world soon fell into darkness.

Half a minute passed, and there were still no new clips.

Li Ming sensed that something was wrong, and asked tentatively: "Mi Duoduo?" ”

"Meow in it."

It's over, I haven't even appeared yet, isn't being hunted by hunters a memorable thing in the eyes of this giant beast?

Wait, why is it dark in front of you?

"Midodo, do I look out of the ordinary?"

"There's hard snow sticking to it all over your body."

"That's right."

Li Ming clenched his fists.

Boom! Boom!

The snow on the surface of the General's Scythe Crab helmet was smashed by his fist.

Li Ming, who had regained his sight, observed his body.

A boxy chunk of snow armor, frozen and armored.

"Why is it a square, but it's probably because of adaptability."

Li Ming speculated.

After glancing at Mi Duoduo's record, he rolled around on the ground, and the snow armor was attached and formed.

In terms of keeping out the cold, even if Li Ming was deep in the cold wind, he couldn't feel the cold at all, and the rate of physical loss returned to a normal level.

In addition to the fact that the shape is a bit strange, Li Ming is quite satisfied with the realization effect of [Snow Armor].

"Uh~uh~Meow!"

Mi Duoduo shuddered, and the two cat's claws retracted into the sleeves of the cotton suit.

"It seems that we still have to find a closed place to keep warm."

Li Ming realized that he was not afraid of the cold now, but Mi Duoduo couldn't hold it.

In the past, they could hug each other for warmth, but now after loading the [Snow Armor], hugging each other will only make each other colder.

Boom~

While thinking about it, the snow armor block on the leggings of the Bubble Fox Dragon slipped and fell to the ground.

Well?

Li Ming, who has a light leg, doesn't know why.

Because given the current environment, it is unlikely that the snow armor block will come loose easily.

After some investigation, seeing the Bubble Fox Dragon leggings with rainbow ice crystal patterns flashing on the surface again, Li Ming finally found the reason.

There is a conflict between the ice-type [Snow Armor] and the water-type bubbling synovial fluid.

The bubbling synovial fluid is either frozen into frost or thawed and turned into liquid, allowing the attached snow armor pieces to loosen directly.

Li Ming sat down on the loose snow armor and recorded what he had just discovered.

The wind and snow swept by the cold wind quickly formed an attachment to the legs, forming blocks again.

Li Ming got up helplessly and jumped on the spot.

Boom~

Another square snow carapace slipped down.

Again, before he could sit down, a new lumpy snow armor spawned again.

"There's no end. It's no wonder that monsters like to survive in environments that match their abilities. ”

Li Ming, who was chattering, looked at the snow armor on the ground, and suddenly a thought popped up.

"Since you can spawn repeatedly, Midodo, will you build an igloo?"

Early the next morning, three cat cars arrived at the crater according to the guidance of the cat's paw signal flare.

A hemispherical igloo comes into view, alongside a large number of sheared snow blocks.

Curious cats gathered and searched for a long time but did not find the entrance.

Until a spider discovered the existence of cats and cats, they dug into the ground to report it.

Rumble!

An arm breaks through the igloo wall.

The cats saw that Li Ming and Mi Duoduo were safe and sound, and they were in good condition, so they settled down.

The site of the deserted village of Pokai is bustling with activity.

Generate snow carapace blocks with fog balls, which quickly loosen with blistering synovial fluid.

The generation of ultra-high frequency made Li Ming's adaptability to [Snow Armor] increase rapidly.

The cats carried the snow armor pieces produced and began to build various buildings around the crater.

Five days later, at night, a large snow fort was built on top of the sealed pit.

The hall descends to the bottom of the snow-block staircase, and the cats begin to celebrate.

In the lively scene, the black giant sword standing no longer eerie and terrifying.

Holding the meow statue in front of him, Li Ming slowly leaned in.

Didn't feel it. Still don't feel it.

The legendary black giant sword was created by fusing black dragon materials.

Of course, Li Ming had to deal with it cautiously, but even when he walked up, he didn't feel any discomfort.

The Ancestral Dragonmen can be used as weapons, and the protagonist of Bokai Village can mine and dig, so I don't have a reason why I can't

Li Ming mustered up his courage and held up the statue of the meow god with one hand, and his palm touched the black sword body full of mottled marks.

Dark red clouds obscure the sun.

On the scorched earth, a human scream of pain rang out.

The armor of the male fire dragon worn by the other party quickly softened in the burning flames, and turned into a puddle of viscous liquid on the body.

The dragon's claws flicked, and the liquid raised.

Splashed on the flickering scales of the chest, molten and attached.

The scene where the soul and body were melted and devoured together made Li Ming's brain go blank.

"Wow! Snow venison is roasted! ”

Li Ming suddenly opened his eyes and found that Mi Duoduo, who was holding a dinner plate, was looking at him with his claws.

The cats frolicked and sang, and everything was as usual.

"Uh, don't you have an appetite?"

Mi Duoduo saw that Li Ming's forehead was covered with beads of sweat, and asked with concern.

"It's not."

Light long ~ light long ~

The black iron chain attached to the hilt of the sword made an oppressive rumble as it shook.

Since the snow castle was built, there has been no cold wind invading, and the sound of chains shaking has not appeared for a long time.

Li Ming took advantage of the situation and looked up.

Wow~whoa~

On the blade adjacent to the hilt, a black lump came loose and smashed downward.

Li Ming grabbed Mi Duoduo and dodged with a roll.

Bang Dang!

The black block smashed down and sank into the ice.

The cats came running to check on the situation, and the chain shaking had stopped.

Where the blade was missing, countless bright spots like stars began to flash alternately, as if some kind of life form was lodged in it.

"Don't be okay."

Seeing the cats surrounding the black block, Li Ming wanted to dissuade him.

But after seeing that no abnormality appeared whether it was stroking or touching and tapping, he no longer stopped it.

"The black block mined from the black giant sword in Bokai Village feels like it can be sold for a lot of money."

Ayler, who knew the goods, was excited at this time.

"Let's take it first, and after this return, store it in the cave warehouse."

After Li Ming finished speaking, he looked at the black giant sword again.

"It seems that there are no pickaxes made of ancient dragon bones, so you really can't collect them at will."

Two days later, in the early morning, Chu Ying Nishuang, led by Pu Yan, was speeding on the snow.

"It's almost there."

Pu Yan pointed ahead and shouted.

The transportation of the giant beast, even with the assistance of Chu Ying Ni's double escort, was not as smooth as expected.

In almost uninhabited villages, it is especially difficult to intercept footage.

So compared to the scheduled time, Park Yan started to return two days late.

Chu Ying Nishuang relied on his previous understanding, and he was not so worried about Li Ming, not to mention the supply of the cat car.

The flares that can confirm the situation have not been responded to, so I can't help but worry.

After all, this is a high-risk snow-capped mountain area, and the harsh natural environment alone is enough to threaten the safety of hunters.

"Bubu, the food wasn't lost on the way, was it?"

Chu Ying asked.

"No meow! And there are also thermal insulation measures! ”

Bubu replied firmly.

"Well, then there must be no trouble."

In one breath, the three of them climbed to the site of the village of Bokei, the last mountain to block it.

"Li Ming! Here we go. What is that? ”

Park Yan blinked, lowered his head and unfolded the map, as if confirming something.

"How is this possible?"

I have been guarding the barren area for several days, and I haven't come back for a few days, and suddenly another fortress comes out, and no one can easily accept it.

"Super slides, ice skating rink, ice fishing park. It's the building style of the Warm Ocean Camp! ”

Bub said in amazement.

"Could it be that the reason why they can't detect the flare is because they have been living in that snow castle all this time?"

Ni Shuang let out a long sigh, feeling that it was a bit reckless to rush to come.

But thinking that Li Ming and the cats were not only fine, but also living very comfortably these days, I was relieved.

After Pu Yan entered the snow castle, the state of having a lot of words in his heart but unable to say it on his lips continued.

It wasn't until the existence of the Black Greatsword was confirmed that there were no errors in the map labeling.

"President Park Yan, this time I intercepted the materials of the giant beast, and I helped a lot, this snow castle was built by me and the cats, I hope it can play a certain role in protecting the black giant sword in the future."

"Ugh."

Pu Yan didn't know what to say, so he could only nod his head blankly.

"Thank you, Ruthless Squad."

After a while, Park Yan, who reacted, opened his mouth to thank him.

"You're welcome, in addition, the black giant sword lost a piece of itself, was this kind of thing common before?"

Li Ming asked.

"Fragments have appeared after mining before."

"What about the bigger ones?"

"How old?"

"The size of a man."

"I haven't heard of it yet, is it that the gap above?"

Park Yan's face was shocked.

"Yes."

"Hey, whatever, it's okay for the team to take it away, but please don't show it to the public."

Park Yan said helplessly.

"No problem, anyway, what will be the use of this place in the future?"

Li Ming asked curiously.

"It will become the scientific research location of the guild, after all, if you want to obtain the ancient dragon bone at present, you can only start with the deeply buried ancient dragon corpse, and there is also an institution that excavates the transportation capacity, only the guild."

Park Yan speculated.

"What about you?"

"Be a guard, if you have enough manpower, work part-time as a field investigator and rescue the hunter team that visits the snowy mountain area."

"The cats in the village."

"The villagers can take some of it, and the cat rescue team and the workshop apprentices will probably have to fend for themselves."

Pu Yan said a little lonely.

"Our camp is recruiting cats, can you help me recommend them?"

"Of course!"

With the recommendation of the local president, Li Ming felt that the local cats would definitely follow enthusiastically.
