Survival For All: I, Aura Creator

Chapter 69 Crossbow Bed Blueprint (Seeking Collection!)

"What tripped me just now?"

Ning Ze walked through the woods with Fenrir, but suddenly stumbled on something, causing him to stagger.

After steadying himself, he turned back in confusion and saw a metallic gleam where he had stumbled just now.

Wow! It's a treasure chest!

Ning Ze was overjoyed and quickly stepped forward, brushing off the snow on the chest to reveal the copper cover.

"Turns out it's a copper chest. This luck is really something."

The greatest joy of exploring in the wilderness is undoubtedly unexpectedly finding a treasure while wandering. After all, a treasure chest requires almost no danger or physical effort to obtain valuable resources, so it's not an exaggeration to call it a freebie.

No one can resist the temptation of a freebie!

Ning Ze quickly cleared the snow around the copper chest, then rubbed his hands and skillfully opened the chest.

[Congratulations, you have obtained 20m of steel wire, 20 iron ingots, 3 chili trees, Snowstep Shoes (blue and yellow), and an additional III-grade crossbow bed manufacturing blueprint.]

At that moment, Ning Ze's breath seemed to stop for a few seconds.

The items obtained from this chest completely exceeded his expectations.

"Getting chili trees was unexpected enough, but I didn't expect to also get a III-grade blueprint and an additional piece of blue and yellow equipment."

The [Treasure in the Box (I)] has once again made a great contribution. This time, it's really a big win.

Chili trees are a box item, so there's no situation where they can't be planted. On the one hand, having chili trees means a continuous supply of chili seeds.

So, despite having only three chili trees, in time, he will be able to achieve chili self-sufficiency.

Next, he opened the III-grade crossbow bed manufacturing blueprint.

[III-grade Crossbow Bed Manufacturing Blueprint (with crossbow arrows)]

[Materials]: 30 wood, 1.5m of string material, 3 adhesive, 5 iron ingots, 0.3m² of fur

[Description]: A powerful medium-sized crossbow bed with a minimum effective range of 300m.

Ning Ze doesn't know much about crossbow beds, but he does know that in ancient warfare, crossbow beds were extremely powerful weapons.

Compared to regular crossbows, their power is vastly different, and similarly, the size of crossbow beds is much larger.

This kind of weapon is simply not suitable for individual carry and use. It is usually mounted on a war chariot or used at a fixed point.

Ning Ze immediately thought of the watchtower. If this kind of weapon were to be mounted on the watchtower, it would undoubtedly be a defensive weapon. Even if powerful monsters were to attack, this weapon could cause them significant damage.

"It's just perfect that steel wire was obtained from the chest to be used as the crossbow bed's string."

Ning Ze even suspected that it was because steel wire was obtained that the additional III-grade crossbow bed, this kind of powerful weapon, was also obtained.

Finally, he took out the new pair of shoes-like equipment he had obtained.

[Snowstep Shoes (blue and yellow)]

[Attributes]: Agility +12

[Effect]: After wearing, gain the skill "Snowstep Invisible": When activated, agility increases by 50% for 60 seconds, with a cooldown of 12 hours.

[Description]: If I catch up to you, I'll hehehe you!

He was currently wearing Windstep Shoes. In comparison, Snowstep Shoes not only provided an additional seven points of agility but also an extra skill.

Being able to increase agility by 50% for 60 seconds is quite a significant boost in combat strength, useful for both pursuit and escape.

After checking all the items, Ning Ze also made sure to put the copper chest into his backpack.

At that moment, a private message caught his attention. Upon opening it, he saw that it was sent by Xue Siyu.

XSY-5525: "Master, there's a monster here, an eighth-level one. When you come back, remember to avoid this area."

It turned out that Xue Siyu had encountered a monster over there. At this time, a monster appearing should belong to the snowy weather. However, Xue Siyu has stealth abilities, so her safety should be temporarily assured.

As for avoiding the area? Not happening. He hadn't seen many monsters these past few days, so he was feeling a bit itchy.

"Fenrir, let's head back."

Ning Ze immediately called the dog, who was not far away, rolling in the snow, and together they set off on the road back.

At that moment!

Xue Siyu was using her stealth ability, hiding behind a rock, quietly observing a monster not far away.

"That really scared me. Luckily, I discovered this monster by chance ahead of time, or I might have been ambushed by the monster."

She still felt a bit lingering fear. If she were accidentally approached by the monster within a few meters, even with her stealth ability, she might not be able to avoid the monster's attack.

For safety's sake, Xue Siyu did not rashly approach the monster, just coldly watching as the monster continuously punched and smashed a large rock in front of it.

"Weird, why is this monster interested in a rock? Or is the monster venting its anger on the rock?"

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but sneer.

Indeed, it's a monster, and its behavior is completely incomprehensible by normal human standards.

"I hope this monster will leave after venting its anger. Otherwise, I won't be able to complete today's 300-stone task. By the way, did Master see the private message I sent? Please don't come over now."

She had already obtained clear information about the monster. It was an eighth-level monster, which for the current players, is almost an unbeatable existence.

Ning Ze can use Soul Scrolls, indicating that his level has reached level six, but it's likely that he has just reached level six. It's probably still a bit beyond his capabilities to deal with an eighth-level monster.

Howl~

Suddenly, a familiar howl sounded, catching Xue Siyu's attention.

It was Fenrir!

Xue Siyu looked at Fenrir in surprise, unable to determine if Fenrir had come back alone or if it had returned with Ning Ze.

Fortunately, she didn't see Ning Ze nearby, which silently relieved her.

At this moment, the monster was also attracted by Fenrir and temporarily gave up on the rock in front, slowly getting up and walking towards Fenrir.

Fenrir wasn't afraid of the monster and continued to howl at it until the monster approached within ten meters, at which point it took a few steps back and continued howling.

At this moment, Ning Ze was hiding behind a tree, watching Fenrir's performance, unable to help but marvel at how much of a drama queen this dog was. He had noticed Fenrir's acting skills when it lured the wild boar. He didn't expect Fenrir to try the same trick again. It's really taking it to the extreme.
