Chapter 457: Encountering legion members by chance, precious sunny period [Anti-theft](1/2)
The maximum speed of the drilling rig on conventional dirt roads is 35 kilometers per hour.
However, on smooth ice and snow roads, this speed can be increased further.
Because the current damping coefficient of the ground is lower, the corresponding driving speed can be faster.
If the drilling rig is allowed to drive on rough roads or under high load conditions, the speed will inevitably be affected, and paper data cannot cover all situations.
For example, this was the case with the previous Heavy Bearer mecha.
After installing a snow shovel and carrying dozens of people, its subsequent driving speed dropped significantly. Especially when pushing snow, the forward speed lags to a certain threshold.
The return journey of about 20 kilometers took more than an hour.
The real driving speed depends on the actual situation, and paper data can only be used as a reference.
Zong Shen carried Ai Xiya and drove the magic drilling machine forward quickly.
Wherever they drive, there will be an ice and snow road more than three meters wide.
About a kilometer behind them, Doris and some people drove a loader mecha from the living area and followed steadily along the ice and snow road that was obviously opened up.
With a drilling rig opening a path through the snow, the loader mecha was finally no longer constrained by the snow.
There were clear golden marks in front of Zong Shen's eyes, guiding him in the direction.
After spending about six or seven minutes, he arrived at the new location of the Winter Treasure Chest.
This is already the edge of the territory. There is a medium-sized territory not far from the small iceberg. If I remember correctly, this should be the territory of a certain legion member.
As the sun enveloped the land, other lords also began to tentatively conduct activities and go out.
When Zong Shen arrived here, the lord had already left the territory several hundred meters away.
He led a dozen soldiers to trudge through the snow up to their waists.
Although the sky has cleared up and the temperature is gradually rising, it is not easy to completely turn the snow into melted ice. At least this sunny day will need to last for several hours.
When the lord saw the [Magic Drilling Machine] heading towards him, he was stunned.
It wasn't until Zong Shen parked the drilling machine, opened the glass cover of the cockpit, and revealed a head that he realized what he was doing.
He bowed slightly to Zong Shen as a greeting.
"Army...Legion Commander..."
"Nice to see you here."
This is a Southeast Asian lord with dark skin, thick eyebrows and big eyes.
Before his arrival, he came from the Emerald Country. He was not very old, only in his early 20s.
When he was facing the final boss in the crypt, he responded to Jiang Yi's call and provided support in Zong Shen's territory.
So Zong Shen also had some impression of him.
Zong Shen glanced at this guy's name.
Then he let out a chuckle.
"Ha, Maung Shengwen, do you want this winter treasure chest?"
Hearing Zong Shen's words, the Burmese man named Maung Sheng Win suddenly showed an embarrassed expression on his face.
He wears a square-patterned black iron battle helmet on his head, and wears a similarly black iron-colored battle armor and a [brand-new sheepskin jacket].
The lower body is made of leather trousers. He DIYed it using sheepskin and tied the sheepskin to his two thighs with hemp rope to increase the warmth of the legs.
In this winter challenge, ordinary lords are also doing their best to meet their own needs to keep out the cold.
At this time, Maung Shengwen was very conflicted in his heart. Needless to say, Zong Shen was famous in the region, and he was also the commander of his army. After joining the [Legion of Guides], he enjoyed a lot of benefits.
Zong Shen was even willing to sell a batch of cold-proof materials to them at cost price.
But the Winter Treasure Chest is also an irresistible temptation for every lord.
After being silent for a few seconds, he gritted his teeth and chose to give up.
"I originally had this plan..."
"But if the Legion Commander is interested, I am willing to give up."
"Thank you, Legion Commander, for taking care of me."
As Maang Shengwen spoke, the expression on his face returned to his natural state.
The hardest time to give up is before making a decision.
Now he feels relieved and his mood has recovered a lot.
"Haha, that's it. Maung Shengwen."
"As the commander of the legion, how can I snatch the winter treasure chest from you?"
"Be careful, this iceberg is difficult to handle."
"The ice and snow monsters among them are also very fierce."
Zong Shen laughed loudly, he didn't want to compete with the legion members for monsters.
Especially for members who are relatively on the road, appropriate generosity is necessary.
For him, traveling is not a problem. At most, it is just a waste of a few minutes. The next destination is due north of here, 3.83 kilometers away.
It has left the territory and there should be no more legion members there.
Maung Shengwen's face first showed an expression of disbelief, and then he expressed sincere gratitude.
He bent his body ninety degrees and bowed to Zong Shen.
"Okay, okay, I'm on my way first."
"Please pay attention to your own safety."
Zong Shen waved his hand and gave a casual instruction.
He has already seen a few big ones among the small icebergs.
They are not as numerous as snow leopards, but they are larger in size. They are also ice beasts.
However, these dozen of handsome and warm warriors plus the arrow tower should be able to solve the problem smoothly.
The location of this small iceberg is exactly within the coverage area of the arrow tower in the opponent's territory.
Zong Shen got into the cockpit again and closed the glass cover.
During this time, Doris also arrived in a loader mecha.
Without stopping too much, he set off north again.
The [Magic Drilling Machine] drove smoothly through the ice and snow and quickly left the place.
The [Heavy Bearer Mecha] at the back carried several caster warriors and followed closely behind.
Maung Shengwen watched Zong Shen and the others leave. He was envious of such a bold way of traveling in the snow.
In addition, Zong Shen took the initiative to give up the winter treasure chest to him.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! It also made Maung Shengwen feel admiration and gratitude in his heart.
"The legion commander is indeed the strongest man in the region."
"Following in his footsteps, I will definitely be able to survive in this world."
He lamented to himself that when the gap between the two parties reaches a certain level and they receive favors, jealousy will have no place and will be replaced by worship.
"Keep moving forward, our arrow tower can shoot here!"
“But we must break through this iceberg first!”
Maung Sheng Win raised his right arm and waved it, leading the soldiers to continue setting off.
…
Seven or eight minutes later, Zong Shen arrived at the north side.
It's a vast open area, and as far as the eye can see is the snow-capped land.
The white ice and snow plane even covers the burial ground and extends directly into the mountains and forests in the north.
Zong Shen had already mastered the experience of breaking ice while driving a drilling rig, and he did not stop this time.
The third gear power of the drilling rig was started directly and pushed forward.
Still the same as before, when the ice layer was about half a meter away, the drilling machine was dumped out.
Parked seven or eight meters away from the small iceberg, and took Doris into the small iceberg.
Farvid stood behind with his two pups, and several arcane mages stood up from behind the loader's cargo hold, holding up their staffs to remain on guard.
Axia also leaned out of the cockpit of the drilling machine.
Zong Shen and Doris walked to the inside of the small iceberg. Through the blue and white transparent ice, they could see five snow-white pythons inside.
These large pythons are covered in white scales dotted with sea blue spots.
