Global Coming: Farming with my sister-in-law in the end times

Chapter 903 Treasure! A treasure chest deep in the sea!

"Gal, Harrag, let's go."

Cao Xing's voice rang out: "Let's head to the Frost Oath Great Wall together."

The two giants gripped their weapons tightly and solemnly said, "No problem, this powerful overlord of the North!"

With that, they began their heavy steps, preparing to step onto the ice ahead.

At that moment, Cao Xing called out to them.

"Wait a moment."

The two giants turned around, their rugged faces showing confusion.

Cao Xing raised his hand and gestured: "Walking is too slow, let's just ride my giant dragon there."

Harrag and Gar both looked to the side at the relatively smaller ice crystal dragon.

Harrag scratched his head, somewhat embarrassed, and said, "My mighty human lord, your dragon is indeed powerful and mighty, but it is too small..."

“That’s right, we Ice Giants are too big!” Gal chimed in.

Cao Xing smiled, offered no explanation, and instead looked at the giant dragon beside him.

"Bingbing".

As soon as he finished speaking, the Calamity Dragon immediately understood what he meant.

A surge of magical energy rose from Bingbing's body!

The next moment, its size began to expand rapidly.

The wingspan has increased dramatically from the original 20 meters to 100 meters!

Like a massive iceberg, it exudes a breathtaking dragon's might!
The two giants stared in disbelief, their jaws nearly hitting the ice.

The giant Gar slapped his companion on the forehead: "By the ancestors! It's a dragon that can freely change its size!"

"This...this is unbelievable!" Harrag stammered.

Even the giant Harrag's face was filled with awe: "I have never seen such a powerful and wondrous dragon!"

Cao Xing smiled and said, "Now, it should be big enough to hold all of us."

With that, he leaped lightly and landed steadily on the dragon's back.

Assam, Renis, and others also entered one after another.

Under the excited gazes of the two giants, they carefully stepped onto the dragon's back.

The ice crystal armor struck the dragon scales, producing a crisp sound.

Cao Xing looked around and, seeing that everyone had arrived, gave the order.

"Bingbing, take off!"

“Yin——!”

The calamity dragon let out a deep roar in response to its master's command.

Its enormous wings suddenly unfolded, and with a powerful flap, it quickly flew to an altitude of about two thousand meters!

The next moment, it transformed into a blue lightning bolt and sped towards the deeper reaches of the [Eternal Frozen Sea]!

The violent airflow formed white waves of air on both sides of the dragon's wings, but they were blocked by an invisible barrier!

"Splash—splash—!"

The howling wind swept past my ears, as if it would overturn everything!
The two ice giants showed no fear whatsoever; on the contrary, they were so excited that they danced around.

"This is so exciting! This is the first time in my life I've ever ridden a dragon, it's even more exhilarating than riding a snow mammoth!" Harrag shouted excitedly!
"Look down! The entire sea is spread out before our eyes!" Gal said, lying on the dragon's back and peering down.

"Is this what flying feels like? It's amazing!"

The two giants cheered and jumped for joy like children!
Of course, while they were happy, they did not forget their mission.

While moving forward at high speed, he guided Cao Xing to the correct location.

The Calamity Dragon streaked across the icy plains like a blue lightning bolt, advancing at an astonishing speed!

About half an hour later, the group had traveled more than 3,000 kilometers!
At this distance, we have almost completely ventured into the permafrost sea.

In fact, with Bingbing's speed, she could travel at least 10,000 kilometers in half an hour.

However, the terrain of the permafrost sea is not as flat as one might imagine; it is covered with various rugged terrains.

The text describes various geological phenomena, including massive glacial crevasses stretching for over ten kilometers, giant ice pits that are impossible to climb out of once entered, and icebergs emitting unique magnetic fields.

Now, everyone stopped again.

Because in front of them lay a vast expanse of glaciers!

These glaciers stand majestically, with the highest point reaching tens of thousands of meters. After millions of years of wind and snow erosion, their surfaces have become as smooth as mirrors.

Even a master-level expert would find it impossible to cross this natural barrier.

It can be said that without the ability to fly, it would be almost impossible to move an inch in the permafrost sea.

Even with the ability to fly, safety is not guaranteed.

During their flight, Cao Xing and the others had already seen the enormous shadows hovering in the glaciers and clouds.

Its size is comparable to a small mountain, its wings are like a tattered ice curtain, and its whole body exudes a bone-chilling cold!
Clearly, those aerial monsters are the aerial units of the Ice Nest Monsters: Droma's Claw!

However, after sensing the aura emanating from Bingbing from afar, they all retreated and dared not approach.

This also raised a question in Cao Xing's mind.

"Harrag, Gar, how did your race of ice giants manage to cross this place?"

Upon hearing this question, the two giants perched on Bingbing's back scratched their heads.

Harrag said apologetically, "My esteemed human lord, we Ice Giants crawled through the tunnels below..."

"aisle?"

"Yes."

Harrag replied, "Deep within the glacier below, there are some hidden passages."

"Some are naturally formed, while others were carved out by our Ice Giant race in the later stages."

Cao Xing nodded, a look of realization dawning on his eyes.

"I see."

He didn't ask any more questions, but instead let Bingbing continue forward.

"call--!"

With a flap of its wings, Bingbing ascended in a straight line, rapidly soaring to an altitude of tens of thousands of meters like a fighter jet!

At this moment, Cao Xing and the others saw a different scene once again.

At the top of this glacier, amidst the swirling clouds and mist, dwells a unique group of frost creatures.

They look like eagles, but are entirely pale, with scales that reflect cold light like ice crystals, and sharp icicles clinging to the edges of their wings.

These special frost creatures seemed to sense the terrifying pressure emanating from Bingbing, and they all awoke from their slumber, emitting low, guttural sounds.

"Roar... Roar...!!!"

They were warning Bingbing that this was their territory and she should not approach rashly.

At this moment, Bingbing was too lazy to pay attention to these low-level creatures. She opened her frost-covered maw and took a deep breath!

then……

"Roar--!!!"

The terrifying sound waves transformed into a tangible attack, sweeping out like a tsunami, causing the glacier to tremble and crack in countless places!
The clouds and mist high in the sky were instantly dispersed, and the snow on the surface of the glacier collapsed with a roar!

The next moment, those flying creatures that had been so ferocious scattered and fled like a flock of startled birds!
It is a fear that comes from the depths of one's blood, the instinctive submission of the inferior to the superior!

The two giants, clutching their ears which were ringing from the shock, stared wide-eyed: "What...what a terrifying dragon..."

"This power is even more terrifying than the Frost Bone Dragon recorded in our tribal books..."

at the same time.

After scaring away the creatures that were entrenched at the top of the glacier, Bingbing flew forward unimpeded.

With its powerful physical strength, it tore apart the raging air currents high in the sky.

He carried the people on his back directly over this forbidden zone of death.

"call--!"

The moment they crossed the glacier, their view suddenly opened up before them.

A vast, boundless ice field stretches out beneath your feet, like a giant silver mirror.

As far as the eye can see, the ice field is almost perfectly flat.

Only the occasional ripples and waves resembled a surging sea frozen in an instant.

It felt as if after crossing that glacier, we had arrived in a completely different world of ice and snow.

However, although the terrain here is open, there are also some evil-looking entities on the ice below!
Cao Xing saw scattered hordes of White Walkers, as well as Ice Nest Monsters whose bodies were made of ice crystals and looked like hounds or other strange creatures.

These ice nest monsters come in hordes, including leader-level ice nest fiends, ice nest hooves, and ice nest trolls...

There are even commander-level Ice Nest Keldan and overlord-level Ice Nest Tyrant, and so on.

It's important to understand that these Ice Nest Monsters aren't system-generated monsters. They are genuine monsters born in this frigid land, nurtured by the power of ancient dragons!

Each Ice Nest Monster is at least level 50 or higher, and there are even quite a few Master-level and Hero-level Ice Nest Monsters.

Deeper still, Cao Xing faintly sensed one or two even more ferocious auras!
Clearly, those are legendary-level Ice Nest Monsters!
Together with the army of White Walkers, they hunted down all living beings that entered this sea!
They don't even spare creatures that fly in the air.

For example, right now, a group of snow pelicans trying to cross the ice field to reach the land have just appeared, and four or five Droma claws immediately pounce on them.

With a flap of their wings, countless ice spikes poured down like a torrential rain.

"Puff! Puff puff puff!"

After a series of sounds of flesh being pierced, the snow pelicans plummeted from the sky and crashed heavily onto the ice!

Before they could even struggle to their feet, the nearby ice nest monsters and White Walkers swarmed in like hungry wolves smelling blood!

Amidst their mournful cries, these snow pelicans were torn to pieces!
Cao Xing wanted to wipe out all the scattered Ice Nest Monsters and Otherworldly Ghosts in this area, but he needed to hurry to the Snow Oath Wall.

After thinking about it, forget it.

After all, compared to other places, although there are many monsters here, they are too scattered.

It would take a lot of time to eliminate them all.

It would be better to get to the battlefield as soon as possible; there must be a lot of monsters there.

Bingbing continued to fly at high speed with everyone, and the claws of Zhuoma dared not approach after sensing the dragon's might emanating from her.

Although these ice nest monsters are ferocious and bloodthirsty, they are not stupid. They know that coming to provoke these monsters at this time would be suicide!

Soon, Cao Xing and his group traveled unimpeded for more than ten kilometers across the icy plain.

Renis, the Sky Hunter in the team, kept a watchful eye on her surroundings while activating the [Eye of the Sky] to constantly monitor the ice conditions around her.

At that moment, she seemed to notice something, and her hawk-like pupils suddenly contracted.

She quickly reported, "My lord, there's something under that layer of ice!"

Upon hearing this, Cao Xing raised his right hand and immediately ordered, "Bingbing, stop."

As soon as the sound faded, Bingbing's enormous body immediately hovered in mid-air.

"Renis, have you discovered anything?"

“Look there,” Renis said, pointing below. “Deep in the ice.”

Looking in the direction she pointed, all that could be seen was an empty surface of crystal-clear ice.

Only at the very deepest point can a small black dot be faintly seen.

"What is that?" Cao Xing asked.

Renis said in a low voice, "If I'm not mistaken, it should be a golden treasure chest."

Upon hearing the word "golden treasure chest," Cao Xing immediately became interested.

For these survivors, opening treasure chests is a unique right.

Especially these treasure chests in the wild, you can often find some really good stuff!
At this moment, the ice giant beside him said, "This powerful human lord, your subordinates have truly extraordinary eyesight, able to see through even such deep ice."

"Even we only occasionally discover one or two treasures like these sealed in the ice."

Cao Xing looked at them with interest. "Oh? Your Ice Giant race often discovers treasures hidden in the ice?"

Harrag nodded and said, "Yes, these treasures sealed in the ice should have been left over from more than nine thousand years ago, or they may have come from an even more ancient era."

"But... I advise you not to try it."

"why?"

Harrag explained, "Because these treasures are usually frozen in ice layers thousands of meters below the surface, making them extremely difficult to mine!"

"Moreover, these ices are not ordinary ice layers; they are imbued with the power of ancient dragons."

“Even the most powerful legendary giant in our tribe would take a great deal of time to break through.”

He paused, looked at the small black dot in the ice below, and said, "The box in this ice layer is at least three thousand meters below."

“Even if your subordinates are incredibly capable, it will still take them two or three hours to reach this depth.”

Cao Xing remained silent.

Meanwhile, Renis had already drawn her bowstring. As her divine power value on her panel decreased by 1 point, an arrow imbued with special destructive power instantly flew off the bowstring!

"call out--!"

The arrow pierced the air and landed on the ice, bursting with dazzling light!

"boom--!!!"

The violent explosion shook the entire ice field, and a shallow hole more than 20 meters in diameter was blasted open on the surface of the ice.

The results looked amazing, but they were far from what people had expected.

Keep in mind that Renis is currently a level 136 legendary archer, and this arrow also has an additional 1 point of [Divine Power].

If this were outdoors, it could even level a small hill a hundred meters high, but now it only leaves a shallow mark on this ice layer.

The ice giant Harrag shook his head: "See? Your archer is indeed incredibly strong, but he's far from enough to break through this level of ice."

Upon hearing this, Renis pursed her lower lip, a defiant look appearing on her face.

Just as she was about to draw her bow and shoot again, she saw a hand resting on her wrist.

Cao Xing shook his head and said, "Renes, there's no need to try again."

"I have a better idea."

Upon hearing this, a look of doubt appeared in the eyes of the Sky Hunter.

But she didn't say much, instead nodding respectfully: "Yes, sir."

Immediately afterwards, Cao Xing gave the order: "Bingbing, go down."

The calamity-inducing dragon immediately flapped its wings, carrying everyone in a rapid descent!
In just two or three seconds, it descended from an altitude of 10,000 meters to a distance of less than 300 meters from the ice surface.

Then, it landed smoothly on the ice.

Cao Xing jumped off Bingbing's back, and the two giants looked puzzled.

But he said confidently, "Don't worry, it won't take me too long to test something."

At that moment, as he stepped onto the ice, he immediately felt a bone-chilling cold rush up from the soles of his feet.

It was as if there was a profound power within the ice, which made people feel fear involuntarily.

Cao Xing ignored this feeling and looked down at the ice layer.

At this distance, he indeed saw a golden treasure chest.

Like a treasure sealed in a lake, it lies quietly beneath a layer of ice three thousand meters deep.

"I never imagined there would be a treasure chest deep in the ocean..."

"If my idea works, then I can basically pocket all the treasure chests I encounter later!"

The next moment, a flash of light appeared in front of Cao Xing, and a strangely shaped mining draft appeared out of thin air in his right hand.

Unlike ordinary mineral specimens, it is crystal clear throughout, as if it were made of pure diamonds.

Mysterious patterns entwine the pickaxe, and its tip shimmers with iridescent light, displaying its magnificence.

Clearly, this manuscript is the reward Cao Xing received for being the first to kill the Rat King during the [Golden Rat's Treasure] event: the Rat King's Diamond Pickaxe!

As a legendary pickaxe, it boasts an attack power of up to 5, and also has the ability to ignore the target's armor and sense surrounding mineral veins.

However, these abilities are not the most important.

Most importantly, this diamond pickaxe has a legendary special effect: the blessing of the Rat God!

【The Rat God's Blessing: Legendary Special Effects】

Once activated, the diamond pickaxe gains the power of the Rat God, becoming indestructible.

For a certain period of time, it can ignore armor, dig through any terrain, obstacle, barrier, etc., without triggering any defense mechanism.

The blessing lasts for 30 seconds; cooldown: 10 hours.

...

Cao Xing whispered, "According to the description, this diamond pickaxe can ignore armor and dig through any terrain..."

"Then, this ice layer, frozen by the power of the ancient dragon, should also be within its excavation area."

"And most importantly, this [Blessing of the Rat God] only lasts for 30 seconds under normal circumstances."

"But now, with the blessing of my [Eternal Power], it will most likely become permanent."

Thinking about this, Cao Xing couldn't wait to give it a try.

The next moment, he activated the legendary special effects on the [Diamond Pickaxe].

"Om-!"

A dazzling light burst forth, causing everyone around to feel a sense of unease!
This diamond pickaxe seemed to have been infused with life, becoming even more crystal clear, with strange light flowing through the energy patterns on its surface.

At the same time, a system notification appeared.

[You used the legendary effect of the Rat King's Diamond Pickaxe, "Blessing of the Rat God," which lasts for 30 seconds and is now permanent thanks to the talent "Eternal Power"...]
