Chapter 372: Playing the Big Bear

Zhao Chi only browsed briefly.

Then he made his selection at top speed.

This time he chose 200 Ice Bears.

Among them, the easiest to fight were those 150 Bat Men.

Their combat power ranked among the lowest even among magical beasts.

They rely on various pathogens and sonic attacks, and aren't hard to deal with.

If Zhao Chi were an ordinary person, he'd absolutely pick the Bat Men to fight.

But now he had strength to spare, so of course he'd snatch up what he needed most.

This time there were still Orcs and Snowfield Wolves.

Looks like there are quite a few Orcs outside.

Snowfield City's geographical position is in the north, so there are many ice-type magical beasts; it's no surprise Snowfield Wolves appeared twice, and they'll probably keep showing up later on.

But what surprised him was — 250 Militiamen?

Humans?

Does that count as magical beasts?

And why would there be humans outside the city? Why would they come to attack? How did they survive out there?

Since Zhao Chi came to this world, he had never gone to look beyond the walls.

Because even approaching the city wall was forbidden.

After all, the formation was active at every moment, forbidding anyone from getting close.

He didn't know what it was like outside.

But his gaze could pass over the wall and see the towering snow mountains beyond.

Sometimes he could even see waves of magical beasts pouring across those snow mountains.

In the sky, large swaths of high-tier flying magical beasts would also often appear.

Fortunately, they were all blocked by that formation and diverted in time.

Even so, people could survive out there?

Zhao Chi didn't quite understand.

But a muffled rumble had already risen from the eastern side of his territory.

That was the Mist Wall opening.

200 Ice Bears were pouring in.

Actually, the Ice Bears' combat power was the strongest among today's Tier-0 magical beasts.

They were massive in size, with thick fur and fat.

An ordinary attack could hardly pierce their fat layer; it took many strikes, or it was very hard to deal them real damage.

And their Constitution and Strength both reached 7 points — a single slap could kill a person, just like Gu Qing.

Moreover, they could also use the ice-type spiritual technique "Ice Armor Technique," forming a layer of ice over their bodies.

It was essentially adding an ice armor.

Facing them head-on was very hard to fight.

But Zhao Chi still chose them.

Mainly for three reasons.

First, their fur was excellent — top-grade material for making leather armor.

Just as spider silk has a special effect on stockings.

This Ice Bear hide also granted extra durability and defense to leather armor.

Second, there was their massive amount of fat.

To guard against the cold, Ice Bears carried an enormous amount of fat — nearly 30% of their body weight, even more than their muscle content.

Zhao Chi currently needed large quantities of oil to make the Super Improved Fire Oil.

With these bears, he'd have plenty of fat.

Besides, there was also a lot of bear meat to eat.

Third, although these Ice Bears were very strong in close combat, they were after all too fat and too heavy — their Agility was only 4 points.

If they then put on Ice Armor, their movement speed would slow down even further.
