The Snow Country Fortress stands eighteen ters tall, its height surpassing that of the Black Rock City Wall, appearing as a white mountain within the wall, dazzling in the sunlight.
Surrounding the snow-colored fortress, the snowstorm continues unabated, enhancing the already rich ice elental particles native to the Ice Spirit Cold Pool region.
After the main construction was completed, the Snow Country Fortress already possessed remarkable defensive power and the ability to amplify the abilities of Lord Han Shuang. On top of that, Mu Yuan planned a construction project for the Snow Country cannon towers.
Qing Shuang and Han Shuang took a synchronized step to the left and right, respectively, and gestured invitingly behind them, causing the Snow Country Fortress to transform chanically with a series of clicks.
From the shoulders of the fortress, layers of ice crystal rose, forming towering ice structures atop the Snow Country Fortress in re seconds. The tips of these towers gathered endless streams of cold, solidifying into ice spears and ice blades, raining down on the lands outside the city like droplets.
In the blink of an eye, the ground outside was covered in white frost, seemingly entering a winter realm like that within the city walls. Ice blades pierced the earth, cleaving slashes several to tens of ters long.
Mu Yuan, observing from atop the fortress, nodded slightly at this sight.
While these ice spears and blades might not threaten higher-ranked monsters, their wide coverage area ant that one Snow Country Fortress could substitute for countless Arrow Towers.
For the Tianyuan Territory at its current stage, slaying higher-tier monsters below the Legendary Realm was not difficult; it was the sheer number of ordinary monsters that could sotis be overwhelming.
After all, the Tianyuan Territory only had a few hundred troops that had reached the elite rank, and with the territory's extensive wall defenses, it was still strenuous to eradicate the monsters despite the assistance of strong generals rushing to help from all sides.
Mu Yuan relied on defenses like Arrow Towers and Thunder Fla Cannons to combat the nurous monsters.
Now, they had a heavyweight defensive structure like the Snow Country Fortress.
Compared to the others, the Snow Country Fortress had a significant advantage—it did not consu Soul Sand.
The Snow Country Fortress was able to absorb the elental particles of heaven and earth on its own, charging up to attack. Under the direction of the Lord of Frost, its absorption rate would greatly increase.
The Snow Country Fortress was a clean, pollution-free, environntally friendly structure—at most, it exhausted the energy of the Lord of Frost.
The ice crystal towers were rely the first phase of defense installations for the Snow Country Fortress. In the future, the fortress would construct or develop even more defensive weapons.
Mu Yuan also had so ideas for transforming the fortress's lack of mobility.
However, at this stage, he needed to focus on constructing stationary defensive structures; any other ideas would have to wait for later attempts.
"Bring out the remains of the Extre Cold Crystal Beast."
He said to Duo Lai.
Duo Lai imdiately pulled the segnted carcass of the crystal beast from his belly… his Four-dinsional Pocket.
Thump.
The carcass fell onto the icy snow-covered ground, kicking up a cloud of snow dust and spreading even colder, bone-chilling coldness.
Qing Shuang, Han Shuang, and a group of Daughters of Winter gathered around the massive and formidable carcass, quietly observing it, marveling in astonishnt.
Soon, the two elental creature lords, Qing Shuang and Han Shuang, began to harvest the Extre Cold from the carcass of the Extre Cold Crystal Beast—construction and upgrades of the Snow Country Fortress required various materials, which weren't limited to physical substances. In fact, various types of cold air were what the Lord of Frost needed the most.
The Lord of Frost could use these chills to effectively enhance the power of the Snow Country Fortress.
Under their direction, the Snow Country Fortress humd into operation, with the visible cold air streaming up like rivers, floating into the majestic ice fortress.
Faint yet discernible, the color of the Snow Country Fortress underwent slight changes.
As compared to its outward appearance, the actual enhancents gained by the fortress were more significant.
Half an hour later,
Qing Shuang and Han Shuang, two elental beings, had finally harvested most of the cold air from the carcass of the Extre Cold Crystal Beast, panting heavily and appearing rather unstable.
"About, about a 50% increase."
The increase was significant.
After all, the Extre Cold Crystal Beast had been a creature of the Legendary Realm during its life. The substantial increase was also related to it being their first ti harvesting Legendary coldness.
At that point, the colossal carcass showed little visible change but no longer emanated a piercing chill.
Thus, the mission of the carcass of the Extre Cold Crystal Beast was… halfway complete.
The remaining half…
"It's ti to feast."
"Yay~!"
Of course, Duo Lai didn't simply gobble down the carcass in one go—though he certainly could have—his Devouring Talent allowed him to absorb rare materials regardless of whether they were raw or cooked, quickly or slowly.
But Duo Lai was civilized, long past the stage of raw consumption.
When it ca to eating, especially valuable delicacies, it certainly called for ticulous preparation.
As a result, Chef Dolai prepared a magnificent banquet.
While the entire body of the Extre Cold Crystal Beast was composed almost entirely of ice crystals and grains, seemingly unsuitable for food, this was no challenge for Chef Dolai.
He gathered nurous ingredients and spent half a day crafting an entire beast banquet.
It included, but was not limited to, charcoal grilled ice crystal, cumin ice crystal, ice crystal slices, and Nine-turn Ice Crystals.
Truth be told, these dishes were not extraordinary; they were learnt from Lanxing. However, under the skillful hands of Chef Dolai, they seed to shimr with light.
—How could they not shimr? Dolai used a special fla when grilling, combined with his perfected Artistic Conception. The dishes presented flickered with fla, and the orange-red fire occasionally leaped, as if transforming into a Giant Dragon ready to roar.
