The moment the human formation falters, the snow beasts immediately launch a fierce attack.

Seeing this, many players rushed to the rescue. Some were lucky enough to be saved, while others were left with nothing but bones. Those who fell to the ground were quickly devoured by the snow beasts.

Do you think players are invincible?

Even though Deng Xing and his two companions were among the more skilled players, they still spent a considerable amount of time fighting the level 3 snow beast in the underground supermarket.

If it weren't for Xiao Jin, they definitely wouldn't have had such a smooth experience.

Therefore, even with the 'Inspiring Horn' buff, some players still perished in the jaws of the snow beast.

Fighting in the snow is extremely physically demanding, and gradually, many people could no longer keep up with the snow beasts' pace, leading to more and more unexpected incidents.

Jian Yiqiu and the others were panting heavily, barely managing to hold up their guns and fire.

Some even rolled around with the snow beasts, desperately stabbing their knives at the beasts' bodies, completely ignoring the bite wounds on their own bodies, their eyes bloodshot with rage.

Xiao Jin's arrival at this moment was like a shot in the arm for everyone.

Xiao Jin's sharp eyes pierced through the swirling snowflakes, accurately locking onto the enemy unit.

After identifying his target, Xiao Jin took a deep breath, slashed his longsword upwards, and activated the skill 'Thunder Lock'.

At that very moment, a thunderbolt crashed down from the sky with devastating force, slamming heavily onto the battlefield and instantly shattering the snow into a dazzling burst of fire.

Then, a jaw-dropping scene unfolded—several thick bolts of lightning, as if alive, snaked out, intertwining and swirling in the air, eventually transforming into chains gleaming with cold light, which swiftly linked the massive bodies of a large number of snow beasts.

Once these lightning chains touched them, they erupted with crackling, intense arcs of electricity, enveloping the snow beasts in a layer of dazzling electric light.

A burnt smell filled the air, and the snow beasts let out terrified and painful roars as their massive bodies trembled and twisted under the onslaught of lightning.

In an instant, this area seemed to be struck by divine punishment, with arcs of electricity spreading and leaping about.

This dazzling and stunning scene truly astonished everyone present. Whether human or player, they all stopped what they were doing.

"...God, is this even human?" A local resident murmured, instantly expressing the sentiments of everyone present.

The players nodded in agreement, like chickens pecking at rice: "Yes, yes, that's what we think too."

"What are you waiting for? Fight back!"

Seeing everyone staring blankly at the snow beast that was charred black by electricity, yet not a single person thought of taking the opportunity to kill it, Chen Dong was so anxious that his eyes were practically spitting fire.

He gritted his teeth and said, "You can understand if the natives stay put, but what are you players doing here? Haven't you ever seen skills before?"

Players: "..." We've never seen such a skill before. Only gold-tier items can have this kind of power.

Now everyone looked at Xiao Jin with even more strange eyes, filled with envy.

Golden props! They want them too!

Even Jian Yiqiu and Shao Jing were completely dumbfounded.

However, Chen Dong's shouts still drew most people's attention back.

Everyone shuddered.

Damn it, stop daydreaming and hurry up and kill them!

A group of people shouted and brandished their weapons, starting a new round of fighting.

It has to be said that with Xiao Jin back, everyone felt more at ease, having found their pillar of support.

Xiao Jin was unleashing a barrage of skills, his 'Wheel of Destiny' was practically sparking, and his spiritual energy was nearly depleted.

Meanwhile, the system notifications in her ear never stopped.

[Player has defeated a level 1 snow beast; reward...]

[Player hits...]

[...]

About fifteen minutes later, something even more exciting happened.

Gao Ya and Song Chao appeared one after another. Like Xiao Jin, they broke through the dark space after killing the level 5 snow beasts they were fighting.

The two had just appeared when they saw Xiao Jin charging into the snow beast horde, and they immediately refused to be outdone.

With the addition of these two generals, the battle finally ended in less than half an hour.

When the last snow beast fell into a pool of blood, a shout suddenly rang out from the crowd, and the indigenous people were all excited and dancing with joy.

"Wow, we won!"

"We won..."

"Hahaha!"

The players seemed to be infected by the others' emotions, and after exchanging glances, they all smiled.

……………………

Ten minutes later.

Xiao Jin and the others reunited in the conference room, but this time Shao Jing, Cheng Ce, and Deng Xing were not there.

The battle had just ended, and the cleanup work outside had not yet been done. They had to deal with the corpses, explain the situation to their families, take care of the wounded, and clean up the battlefield.

If it weren't for more important matters, Xiao Jin and the others would be extremely busy.

Squatting on the ground, Jian Yiqiu watched the charcoal slowly burn, his expression extremely serious. On the other side, Gao Ya held a thermometer, her eyes also fixed on the fire.

"It's safe!" Gao Ya suddenly shouted.

Jian Yiqiu turned around in surprise: "How many?"

Xiao Jin also looked in Gao Ya's direction.

“Before the fire was lit, the temperature inside the conference room was -10 degrees Celsius, but now it’s 10 degrees Celsius!” Gao Ya smiled and waved the thermometer in her hand.

Xiao Jin lowered her eyes: "There is a temperature difference of about twenty degrees. If the room is smaller, this number can be even higher."

“That’s enough, that’s enough!” Jian Yiqiu’s eyes sparkled as he looked at the charcoal brazier on the ground, as if he had found some treasure.

"The outside temperature has dropped to minus 65 degrees Celsius. When we were fighting the snow beast tide just now, if we hadn't been so determined, we might not have been able to hold on."

Shao Jing told me that when they came back, almost everyone had quite a few frostbite injuries!

As he spoke, Jian Yiqiu extinguished the charcoal fire in the basin. The meeting room wasn't too cold, so it was best not to waste it.

Looking at it this way, moving the Black Tower was actually the right thing to do.

The underground area is warmer, with heating and cold-weather gear dropped by snow beasts. Although it's not as convenient as before, people won't be so cold that they can't even sleep.

Xiao Jin pursed her lips.

Frostbite medication is something that, unless it's produced by the manufacturer, even hospitals wouldn't have that much stock.

Y City, a city where it doesn't even snow in winter, has a pitifully small supply of frostbite medicine in its hospitals.

Most people who own down jackets have probably bought them after traveling to other provinces.

Jian Yiqiu stood up and sat back down: "The conference room is about fifty square meters. Just one charcoal brazier can raise the room temperature by twenty degrees. What if we put in a few more?"

Gao Ya waved her hand: "Don't be too happy yet, we don't have that many charcoal braziers to squander."

I'd like to put some in every room, but don't you even know who got these things from?!
