Chapter 140 A Rich Harvest
That's right, the snow has never stopped since the beginning of winter. If the city-state's inland winery hadn't hired residents to shovel snow, the streets would probably be piled high with snow.
Seeing that the three people really left, Lin Zuo said to Dou Fanrong beside him: "If they really leave, then we can do it too."
In fact, they also planned to go out today, but the other teammates were a little hesitant, so it was delayed until now. Just in time, someone went out of the city to test the waters, so they decided to take a look first.
Dou Fanrong put away the dagger he was playing with and said, "Then let's go too. I'm tired of playing simulated battles all day long."
He prefers real fighting.
Lin Zuo rolled his eyes at him and began to notify teammates who were willing to leave the city to gather at the city gate.
Outside the city, the snow was falling so heavily that Lu Jiu and the others had to wear goggles to prevent them from being unable to open their eyes in the wind and snow, and being attacked by wild monsters and dying unjustly.
The few of them were wrapped tightly from head to toe. The wind was too loud in the wild, so they could only communicate via email.
At this time, there seemed to be no living creatures outside the city except the three of them.
[Lu Jiu: This is the first time I've worn such thick clothing before a fight. I'm a little worried that this will affect my movements.]
Zhuang Yun: I'm worried too.
[Chen Jufeng: It's okay, it's just clothes. We've all started our professions, and our strength alone is incomparable to before.]
What else can the two of them do? Of course they trust Chen Jufeng.
Lu Jiu stretched his neck, then walked and looked around in circles.
They are not in a panic this time. Even if they are really in desperate situation, she can use the teleportation crystal to build a channel to send people back to the city. It's just a bit of a waste of this rare item.
The three of them walked for a while and encountered nothing.
Lu Jiu: We've been out here for so long, are we just going in circles? This whole area looks pretty much the same.
[Chen Jufeng: Pay attention to the map. Wild monsters can't be encountered just by walking far. The key is to observe their spawning times. And except for fixed-point wild monsters like the BOSS, other monsters will spawn near people.]
Zhuang Yun: ...
They don't need to look for wild monsters specifically, they just need to see if the system will spawn them.
We strolled around like this until almost eleven o'clock. Traveling in winter consumes more physical energy than in summer and autumn.
This has consumed nearly a quarter of their physical strength.
Zhuang Yun: If we don't meet again later, we can just camp and have lunch.
【Lu Jiu: Yeah, I walked for several hours in vain.】
Shen Jufeng didn't say anything, and these teammates decided that he would follow.
After walking for another ten minutes, they finally gave up searching and set up their tent in the wind and snow.
The tent is new and can adjust the temperature.
The three of them just took a short break to have lunch and then set up a tent.
The stove was already lit with firewood, and the entire tent quickly heated up. Lu Jiu took off his hat, scarf, and other items, and breathed a sigh of relief.
"Oh, this is still quite stuffy to wear."
After taking them all down, everyone felt much more relaxed.
"Let's have mutton for lunch."
It’s so cold in winter, of course you have to eat hot mutton.
"Okay, I want something spicy to stimulate my taste buds. My mouth feels a little stiff."
After Shen Jufeng untied his scarf, he shook his head and said, "Me too, I want something spicy."
But they were not idle. Zhuang Yun was cutting mutton while they were squatting nearby picking vegetables.
Zhuang Yun finally made a spicy lamb hotpot and cooked a pot of rice.
The three of them sat around the small heated table and ate happily. They were so happy to be able to eat spicy meat in such a cold day.
In the red pot, pick up a piece of mutton with chopsticks and cook it for a few seconds. The tender red meat is dipped in red oil and eaten with rice. The spicy taste rushes to your head, it is spicy and refreshing.
After finishing their lunch, the three of them listened to the wind outside blowing the tent and decided to sit down and take a rest.

On the other side, Lin Zuo and others were lucky. About an hour after leaving the city, they encountered a group of wild monsters, all of which were brown iron-level rabbit monsters.
Although it was large in size, the group still managed to deal with it quickly, and the reward it dropped was even richer than in the fall.
There are many wild monsters appearing in winter. The group they encountered had nearly forty of them. Fortunately, there were twelve of them, so they didn't have to deal with them in a hurry.
Lin Zuo defeated three rabbit monsters and received the following rewards: 7 pieces of complete rabbit fur, 150kg of rabbit meat, 12 red buttons, 8 blue buttons, and 5 silver coins...
Not only did the amount of supplies received increase significantly, but red and blue buttons also appeared for the first time.
"What is this button?" A teammate has already held a red button in his hand. It looks like a button on clothes, but here it is a prop.
[Red Button: This is a magical item, essential for crafting silver-level equipment.]
[Blue Button: This is a magical item, essential for crafting silver and gold-level equipment.]
"Holy crap, silver and gold levels, making a killing."
When some people saw the introduction of the blue button, they couldn't help but shout.
Lin Zuo was in a good mood. It turned out to be the right decision to come out. Although the monsters just now were more difficult to deal with than the brown iron level monsters encountered in autumn, the harvest was better than that time.
"How about it? It's worth it to call you out today." Lin Zuo smiled with some pride.
"Captain, you're truly foresighted. Even if we only encounter this one wave of monsters, we've already made a killing."
"Okay, we'll set up camp a little later and take a break at noon."
Although their physical strength has not been exhausted, their mental state is not as good as when they first came out.
As expected, they didn’t encounter any wild monsters later, but they didn’t plan to go back at first. Instead, they took a break and continued in the afternoon.
Who doesn’t want to collect more good props?
Lu Jiu and the others, after a good rest, packed up their tents and continued on their journey.
After wandering in the wild for a while, they finally encountered a group of wild monsters, but there were a lot of them.
It was Lu Jiu who first discovered it when his calf was bitten. It was a group of mole monsters. Their fur was white like the surrounding environment, but fortunately their dark noses were very obvious.
There are fifteen of them in this pile, all of them are Brown Iron grade.
Lu Jiu first stepped on the monster that bit her, causing it to squeak.
"There are so many wild monsters! Hurry up." She said with some excitement.
"I see. It depends on the situation how much each person can handle."
The three of them took out their weapons and spent most of the day before finally encountering a group.
Lu Jiu didn't use a bow and arrow, she just took out a dagger for close combat, which she had practiced recently.
These mole monsters are agile and mainly attack the lower body.
Lu Jiu stabbed and kicked away several wild monsters, but finally she couldn't help it and took out her bow and arrow to shoot them at close range. Anyway, she never missed the target.
The monsters gathered at her feet were obvious targets, but even if her clothes were thick, they would be torn if she kept biting them.
She had no choice but to try putting on wings and flying, but the wind was so strong that it blew her to the side.
However, Lu Jiu did not give up. He used his wings as a jumping tool and jumped away after being bitten a few times.
It took time to kill four wild monsters, and the rest were divided among the two teammates.
Such close combat would not be good for her, and even if she tried, she was not suited to close combat.
