[Winter Challenge has been ongoing for 72 hours]

[The second phase of winter ends]

[You will receive a total of 3600 basic survival points at this stage]

[Number of casualties in the territory: 0]

[The third phase of winter will begin below]

【Winter's Sorrow】

[The locations of winter treasure chests and ice monsters are being randomly determined, and the number of treasure chests is locked at 1,000]

[This phase will last 24 hours]

[This announcement will end in one minute]

These system announcements are extremely eye-catching. No matter whether the lord is comatose, sleeping, or anywhere and under any circumstances, as long as he is not dead, he will see these announcements.

In the time-stop state, everything in the outside world will be in a state of time stasis.

Of course, the lords cannot move during the time pause.

The appearance of this announcement represents the official arrival of the third phase of winter.

This is also the last stage of the Winter Challenge.

As long as this stage is passed, it means the end of winter.

Zong Shen waited patiently for the time-stop effect to end.

When the unknown force that shackles time disappeared, everything returned to normal.

"Please tell me the weather changes in the future."

The wise Zong Shen's first preparation for each new stage of the winter challenge was to ask about the upcoming weather changes.

(From 12 o'clock to 18 o'clock, the temperature will rise sharply, and the temperature will rise to 5 degrees Celsius above zero. From 18 o'clock to 20 o'clock, the temperature will drop to minus 30 degrees Celsius. From 20 o'clock to 2 o'clock in the morning, the temperature will continue to drop to 50 degrees Celsius. From 2 o'clock to 4 o'clock in the morning,

Super cold water and freezing rain, the temperature finally dropped to minus 70°C from 4 to 10 a.m.)

Zong Shen read the golden strategy tips and had a sense of the weather changes in the next twenty hours or so.

In the third stage, there will be no more wind and snow. After all, the snow is now so thick that it is terrifying.

If heavy snowfall continues, this land will be buried alive by snow.

In this last stage, there are only drastic temperature changes, coupled with a super-cold freezing rain in the early morning, the lowest temperature will drop to minus 70 degrees Celsius.

During the warming period, the snow will melt and collapse. When the temperature drops, the fallen snow will freeze into solid ice.

This situation is somewhat similar to the sunny day at the end of the first stage, where the temperature first heats up and then cools down.

Judging from the current snow thickness, after the first temperature difference rhythm time is completed, the ice layer will reach about 70 centimeters, and all that snow will become part of the solid ice.

When the ultra-cold freezing rain falls in the early morning, the final thickness of the ice layer may reach about one meter.

Once you go out, you will see an Ice Age-like scene, with ice freezing the lower half of the building.

People can only walk on the ice above the ground, and every step is like skating.

It is worth mentioning that this situation may be able to increase the sales of [anti-skid chain spurs].

After Zong Shen clarified the future weather changes, he suddenly had a good idea.

Before the super cold water and icy rain fall, we can actually go out together as a group.

The loader mecha cannot push away the snow due to its overload, but it can drive smoothly on the ice.

Most of the people who were frozen yesterday were crossbow shooters. The mage group led by Doris did not suffer from too serious conditions yesterday, but suffered some frostbite.

Thinking of this, Zong Shen took out the communication crystal and contacted Doris in the living area.

He asked her to wait until the snow melted and collapsed, then pilot the loader mecha and lead the mage team to the central area to wait for him.

There will be no extreme weather changes throughout the day today. He told Doris the approximate time of the temperature change and asked her to make her own arrangements.

After arranging these things, Zong Shen stood up and let others move freely or rest.

At the same time, he ordered Mariel to take advantage of the improvement of the weather to go to the [Market] to collect valuable resources and materials.

The main team that went out to hunt yesterday had no mission today, so they could rest as much as they wanted.

As for Zong Shen himself, he quickly left the lord's small building, followed the snowy path he took on his return to the lord's small courtyard, and collected the newly produced [Moon God Spring] and [Magic Spring].

Then they came to the open space outside the small courtyard.

Although only a few minutes had passed, as the guide said, the dark clouds that had accumulated in the sky for a long time began to slowly disperse.

It's like a large black-gray curtain, surging and gradually separating and dissipating.

[Magic Drilling Machine] appeared again in the open space outside the courtyard.

Zong Shen opened the machine cover in a familiar manner, started the drilling machine, and drove towards the south.

His destination is the [Magic Palace], located in the center circle about one kilometer away from the courtyard.

At this time, Aisiya is meditating and practicing in the [Magic Palace], and Zong Shen is going to pick her up now.

The drill is like a mole on top of the ice, breaking through a path without any hindrance.

About two or three minutes later, he arrived outside the [Magic Palace].

He stopped the drilling machine, opened the cover, jumped out quickly, and stepped into the hall.

Several entrances and exits to the entire [Magic Palace] were covered with sheepskin curtains.

When the curtain is opened, the warm air inside blows out to meet the cold air outside, and finally disappears.

Following the guidance of the strategy tips, Zong Shen accurately found the meditation room where Tasia practiced.

He gently opened the thick black curtain, and Aisia was concentrating on maintaining the posture of sitting cross-legged. She closed her eyes tightly and was immersed in the spiritual world of meditation.

Zong Shen carefully woke her up.

"grown ups…"

"Why are you here?"

In the meditative state, Aisiya felt very peaceful.
Chapter completed!
