Chapter 179: Exploring the Whirlpool Island
The Snow Spirit Fox was the biggest beneficiary of the third season.
It liked this cold environment too much. It was more comfortable than the wet world before.
The Flood Dragon, who has initially been responsible for protecting his home, became depressed.
Before the Flood Dragon evolved, it was an ordinary snake.
Although it had now become a Flood Dragon, its habit of hibernation had been overcome.
However, it did not like the cold attitude, which was firmly engraved in its genes.
Fortunately, the castle had a powerful air-conditioning system.
The Flood Dragon was like a useless otaku, lying in the castle hall all day without moving.
Instead, the task of patrolling was handed to the Snow Spirit Fox.
The Snow Spirit Fox was tired of the warm atmosphere in its home. So naturally, it preferred to stroll through the snow and ice.
It was all thanks to the batch of rations that Mcgee had sold at a low price.
Otherwise, many ordinary players would have died on the first day of the third season.
Not to mention finding food, even hiding in their own tiny wooden houses and, lighting a fire could not withstand the cold.
The one who suffered the most was the dominator of fire-type familiars. Their familiars were even lazier in such a cold environment. They had no desire to move at all.
Going out to hunt became the job of other types of familiars. Fire-type familiars were all waiting for someone to serve them, just like the system.
It was also at this time that most players realized the importance of developing their homes.
Mcgee’s home had already developed from a personal territory to a manor with more than ten people.
Without a doubt, he was the biggest beneficiary of the home system.
The pirates were also happy that they followed the right person. Otherwise, with their strength, they definitely would not be able to survive in the harsh environment.
Because… there was not even a sea, let alone being a pirate.
However, Mcgee was not enjoying this peaceful life like the others.
Not to mention the upcoming Blood Moon.
Even the level-eight subdued beasts wandering outside were not a match for them now.
If they did not increase their strength, the next Blood Moon would be the end of their home.
“Little Spirit Fox, can you still move?” Mcgee glanced at the sleeping Little Spirit Fox on the sofa.
It only moved its ears, which meant that it had heard it.
And the Dragon lying on the ground like a snake was even lazier to move.
It seemed that the only one who was willing to accompany him to go hunting in the snow and ice was the Snow Spirit Fox outside.
The pirate duo also volunteered. They were initially Mcgee’s intelligence personnel.
They could have been active in the sea.
But now that the sea level was frozen, they were unemployed.
They put on ice skates and quickly slid on the ice to help Mcgee search for information about nearby islands.
The islands that could not be seen on the map also appeared at this time.
“Snow Spirit Fox, can you give me a ride?” Mcgee asked.
In the past, they could only go to other islands by swimming or by boat.
But now that the sea level was frozen and there was enough energy, they could zoom in and out of the map at any time.
The points that had initially appeared as gaps in the world map were now fully displayed in front of Mcgee.
The reason why they noticed this was because it was initially a whirlpool. However, after the sea level froze, an island suddenly appeared there.
Even if this island was not the final test of the season, it was a key location.
“Of course, but you have to hold on tight,” the Snow Spirit Fox replied.
Mcgee was initially been happy, but he soon regretted it.
Sitting on the Snow Spirit Fox’s back, he dashed. From time to time, a bone-piercing cold wind would pass through the gap between Mcgee’s collar and into his body.
It made Mcgee feel a real chill.
He wished that what he was wearing was not a fur coat but an electric blanket.
Because the cold wind almost froze his entire body.
The Snow Spirit Fox under him, on the other hand, was like a young man riding a car in the summer, enjoying the wind.
After more than twenty minutes of running, they finally arrived at the former world whirlpool.
After the sea level was frozen, the whirlpool stopped without a doubt.
The location of this island was also extraordinary, like an underground square.
The whirlpool became a staircase.
Mcgee and the Snow Spirit Fox slowly walked down the stairs and entered the island’s entrance at the center of the whirlpool.
Could this be the legendary Bermuda Triangle?
That was the area where Mcgee had heard of many mysterious disappearances in the real world.
He had not expected that the bottom of the whirlpool was an island.
But in the world where familiars lived, there was no peaceful island.
Mcgee put on his imperial dragon suit, ready to deal with the enemy that was about to appear.
“There’s an ambush.” The Snow Spirit Fox’s nose twitched. It had smelled the enemy’s scent.
And it was blocking in front of Mcgee.
Although it was not Mcgee’s familiar, it still treated Mcgee as a companion and protected him tightly behind its back.
A group of Snowmen appeared in front of him.
Mcgee took a closer look, and the information about the Snowmen appeared in his mind.
[Frost Snowmen]
[Race: Humanoid familiar]
[Skills]
[Eating: Recovers its physical strength by consuming meat.]
[Throwing snowballs: Snowmen can gather the power of ice and snow on their palms to produce powerful snowballs. Units hit by snowballs will have their movement speed, attack speed, and health bars reduced. In addition, they can stack until they are completely frozen.]
[Avalanche: Snowman has aoe skills can trigger an avalanche effect.]
Oh my god, just by looking at their names, one could tell that these people were too terrifying.
Moreover, they were a humanoid race that was similar to the Goblins.
As a walking race, their most outstanding characteristic was that they also had essential intelligence.
“Snowmen?” Mcgee watched as Mcgee stood motionlessly on the spot.
“What are they trying to do?”
Mcgee stared at the other party. But, because they did not take the attack, he did not dare to act rashly.
Mcgee looked at the Snowmen carefully. The fur on their bodies was not clothes.
Moreover, the thickness of their fur was especially suitable for surviving in such a cold environment.
If he could defeat them and sell their fur in the market, he would get a reasonable price.
Mcgee knew that many people must be suffering from the cold now.
That was because no one was chatting in the world channel anymore.
However, what they did not expect was that these Snowmen were all level-8 familiars.
He could fight against a level-7 familiar with his strength, but a level-8 friendly was no match for him.
The Snow Spirit Fox was the only level-8 familiar, but he was afraid that he would not be able to fight one against a hundred.
“I still have a smoke bomb in my hands. I wonder if I can use it in this kind of environment.”
During this period, Mcgee had not been idle either. The effects of the bomb were becoming less and less obvious, so Mcgee developed a smoke bomb.
After the explosion, a large amount of smoke would be generated.
Mcgee planned to retreat first.
Then, he would look for the Snowman’s weakness.
Since their fur was so thick, it was likely that they would be straightforward to ignite.
So, in snowy weather, fire-type familiars might be able to bring in more revenue.
Although that was a guess.
