Chapter 1001 Extreme Environment, Terrible Monster
Blaze took a close look at the menu provided by the open-air cafeteria. The raw materials provided by the second and first levels were almost all a combination of plants from the giant volcano area and ordinary ingredients, while the third level and above were local ingredients from the giant snow plain.

The third-level cold-resistant soup that Herbie drank was made from the fat of monsters in the Giant Snowfield.

It is worth mentioning that due to the overly harsh ecological environment of the Giant Snowfield and the Giant Volcano, there are no ordinary animals here, only monsters.

Take the Giant Snow Plains for example. If you want to survive here, you must have [Cold Resistance A]. This is only level 1 to 2 of coldness. To go higher, you must continue to improve your proficiency in [Cold Resistance].

This situation also results in the average level of monsters being very high.

What is very strange is that the worst temperature in the Giant Snowfield and the Giant Volcano is actually where ice and fire intersect in the middle.

The two environments seem to be in confrontation, with the ambient temperature at the border madly increasing, and the temperature difference becomes greater as it gets closer to the center.

The location drawn by the forger happens to be in the area where the temperature difference is the most terrible.

"No one has been there yet. We have only reached this point, a level 3 cold zone. To go further, we need to collect and defeat environmental monsters and make corresponding equipment."

The Clown kept talking, and when he had almost finished speaking, Blaze asked.

"You seem to be particularly concerned about the exploration team. I don't think I've ever heard you mention it before."

"because……"

"Because he and another man have a crush on each other, meow." Ai Lei said as she chopped the ingredients on the stone table with the kitchen knife in her hand.

"Is this true?" Blaze turned sideways and put on an attitude of eating melon.

"She, she is actually a woman, just in a man's body." The Horror Clown didn't know how to explain the players' strange genders, and could only weakly express that there was nothing wrong with his sexual orientation.

However, Blazer didn't have any opinion on the clown's sexual orientation. He was more interested in the fact that they "fell in love".

It would be a beautiful thing if the Psycho Clown could find a soul mate in this world.

Unfortunately, the Psycho Clown kept his mouth shut, and he couldn't get any useful information after trying for a long time. He only knew that the stranger with a woman's soul and a man's body was the leader of many exploration teams and was called the Grand Commander.

After his body recovered, especially Herbie regained his vitality, the Psycho Clown formally introduced the main area of ​​the exploration base, which is the investigation mission.

Unlike other missions that rely on the kingdom, merchant group or adventurer guild, the exploration team's missions are all done by the foreigners themselves.

For example, if someone wants certain materials, someone will come with a commission to trade. The bargaining chip for the transaction is a kind of points called investigation points. The way to get points is to accept hunting commissions from the exploration base and hand over the materials to the exploration base.

Those materials will also be placed in the material exchange house at the exploration base for fair trading.

The whole process was managed by the foreigners themselves with great care. In the words of the foreigners, it was done out of love.

Blaze admires these people very much, because the exploration team will only be enthusiastic when new environments and new monsters appear.

Once the environment has been explored and the monster types have been recorded, they will fall into a [grass period], and the bustling exploration base will gradually become deserted until there is no one left.

Since strangers came to this world, the strangers who formed the exploration team built one exploration base after another, but the exploration bases fell into desolation one after another, and finally even became the strongholds of bandits and robbers. It is a kind of love that will eventually be covered with dust, but the exploration team still exists, because there is a group of extremely tenacious strangers who always persist, maintain, and wait.

This is also why, every time a new environment appears, the exploration teams are always able to gather together at the first time and start moving towards the new environment.

Under the leadership of the Psycho Clown, Blaze and Herbie got the registration card at the mission registration office of the exploration base. With this registration card, they can go to receive the mission.

"Do you want to follow too?" Blaze looked at Herbie. To be honest, he felt that Herbie would be safer staying in the exploration base.

"You're going to leave me here?" Herbie pointed at himself, then pointed at the exploration base that had basically no defense capabilities.

The only defense measure of the exploration base is probably the erected fence.

This is indeed a bit hasty, but considering that the people active among them are foreigners and some cat-beastmen with strong individual abilities, this is not surprising.

In comparison, it is absolutely safe to follow Blaze, as Blaze has no blind spots and has many tricks to kill the enemy instantly.

Originally, the chicken could serve as Herbie's bodyguard, but Blazer did not expect that the environment of the Giant Snowfield would be so harsh. The chicken's body could not even grow and could only remain in the state of a soul body.

Whether it is the giant volcano or the giant snowfield, it is extremely deadly to chickens whose bodies are made of plants.

"Then you should follow me, but I'll need you to put on a set of protective gear first." Blaze looked at the task bar, then raised his hand and clicked on the giant bear drawn with charcoal.

[Task Accepted: Defeat the Far North Giant Bear]

"Carrying equipment made of metal can be considered as torture instruments here." The Psycho Clown showed off his protective gear, which was a complete set of Arctic wild boar protective gear. It not only had strong defense but also had super cold-proof ability.

The Psycho Clown's weapons are a bone one-handed sword and a small round shield.

Metal equipment naturally includes weapons, and Blaze tried to take out the twisted sword. The moment he held the twisted sword, a chill ran from his palm to his shoulder, even close to his heart.

【Metamorphosis Z】

【Cold Resistance LV1】

The moment [Metamorphosis Z] was triggered, the chill was suppressed, but it was only suppressed. It did not penetrate into the heart, but spread to the surroundings.

Blaze immediately let go of the twisted sword, and the chill subsided.

This terrible environment completely eliminated the possibility of metal weapons appearing, and even the world-class weapon [Misttin] was affected.

This environmental impact has nothing to do with quality, but with materials.

[Ares' Howl] was also affected. It was still operating ferociously and was not affected by the temperature at all, but it was taking away Blaze's body heat.

Fortunately, Gungnir was not affected. This gun was a branch that was much harder than any other metal.
