Chapter 894 - 529: Temperature Changes, Breeding Armor Griffin

After handling the gemstones, Zong Shen left the basement, which was very cool inside.

It made him somewhat reluctant to leave.

Like an air-conditioned room in summer, carrying a refreshing comfort.

However, he only hesitated for a moment before finally stepping out of the basement hut.

A wave of scorching heat greeted him head-on, and the temperature outside seemed to have risen significantly.

Given the current situation, by noon at 12 o’clock, the temperature is bound to reach 45 degrees Celsius.

There is no doubt about it.

In such temperatures, standing outside facing the sunlight directly can easily lead to heatstroke.

These are all the negative effects brought about by high temperatures.

This is also the most critical aspect of this challenge.

Excluding the temperature factor, the Flame Demon Boss is relatively passive because it does not actively attack any Lord, it only passively endures attacks.

Thinking of this, Zong Shen looked towards the city tower, preparing to check the situation and adapt to the temperature changes in advance.

He climbed up the city tower via the stairs on the side of the tower.

Standing above, he gazed into the distance.

The ground showed signs of light distortion due to the heat waves.

The current temperature is at least over 40°C.

Zong Shen had already taken off his battle helmet long ago.

The metal equipment on his body was an excellent conductor of heat.

And the armor was tightly sealed, almost airtight.

Wearing war boots, leg armor, and battle armor felt like climbing into a steamer.

Sweat continuously poured out from his body.

Then it gathered and flowed out from the gaps in the battle armor.

Zong Shen stood on the city tower for a while, leaving two puddles of sweat at his feet.

Ridiculous! Exaggerated!

But this was indeed the reality!

After the sweat flowed onto the ground, it completely evaporated within less than half a minute.

Leaving behind some white powdery salt stains.

Earlier, he was busy studying the Lord’s Fortress, so Zong Shen didn’t pay much attention.

Now that he seriously felt it, he realized the power of the high temperatures.

His mouth and throat had a dry, parched feeling.

This feeling wasn’t strong, but it was a signal.

That his body had already lost a serious amount of moisture.

Zong Shen flipped his hand and took out a wooden barrel full of clear water.

Holding it with both hands, he brought it to his mouth.

"Gulp, gulp, gulp..."

He drank at least a liter of water in one breath.

Feeling a bit bloated in the stomach, he set the water barrel aside.

The burning sensation in his mouth and throat eased a bit.

Sweaty all over, he wanted to find a lake to take a bath.

"Whew..."

After taking a breath,

Zong Shen put away the water barrel and descended the city tower.

Standing in the shadow of the building to temporarily avoid the blazing sunlight.

As time passed, the temperature continued to mercilessly rise.

After staying for a while, Zong Shen left the courtyard.

Outside, Tasuya also put away her thoughts of showing off and hid beside the towering body of the Lion Skeleton Knight,

where there was a small patch of wooden city wall shadow to use for shade.

The most resilient were still those Skeleton Knights.

Although they hated sunlight, they weren’t afraid of changes in temperature at all.

Not to mention 40℃, even if it were 50℃ or even 60, 70℃, those creatures wouldn’t react at all.

Zong Shen walked right over to Tasuya and took out the water barrel, placing it beside her.

"Drink more water."

"I’m going to the blacksmith shop."

After hastily instructing, Zong Shen took out the Burden-Bearer Mecha.

Enduring the scorching sun, he headed towards the Agricultural and Livestock Area in the northwest of the territory.

A small patch of pasture there was designated as a temporary resting spot for Eagle within the territory.

Zong Shen needed to find Eagle first.

After the Burden-Bearer Mecha had traveled for six or seven minutes, he arrived beside Eagle.

Eagle also felt the sudden rise in temperature today.

It tucked its head under its wing, lazily curling up on the ground.

This level of temperature wasn’t enough to inflict serious negative effects on it.

At most, it felt less comfortable than usual.

Upon hearing the rumbling sound of tracks, Eagle alertly poked its head out.

Seeing that it was Zong Shen approaching, its wings spread and flapped a few times.

"Screech!"

"Screech..."

It let out a joyful screech, its wing flapping stirring up hot air currents.

Somehow, Eagle also developed an instinctual reliance on Zong Shen.

Although its wisdom wasn’t low.

But after all, a magical beast is still a magical beast, not as vengeful as humans.

Zong Shen stopped the Burden-Bearer Mecha, stowed it away, and mounted Eagle’s back.

Compared to Eagle’s flying speed, the Burden-Bearer Mecha’s speed was like that of a snail.

"Take off, Eagle."

"Let’s go check out the blacksmith shop."

After speaking, Zong Shen patted Eagle’s neck and pointed towards the southwest of the territory.

Where the Blacksmith Shop was located.

Eagle raised its neck and let out a melodious screech.

Flapping its wings, it ascended into the air, flying towards the direction Zong Shen indicated.

From here to the Blacksmith Shop was only a few kilometers.

In just half a minute, Eagle reached the top of the Blacksmith Shop.

At this time, Zong Shen patted its neck again.

Eagle cleverly descended towards the ground below.

Outside the blacksmith shop was the set of Magic Jet Propulsion Armor that he had brought before.

After modification, this thing had added front and rear straps, allowing it to be equipped on Eagle’s back like a saddle. The positions of the two jet cylinders were right at its sides.

This arrangement matched Zong Shen’s previous idea, allowing the jet system to emit strong air currents for speed boosting during battle.

Eagle landed on the open ground outside the Blacksmith Shop. Naturally, it also saw that set of Jet Armor, although it didn’t recognize this thing at all.
