Chapter 470: [Bone-Chilling Snowfield]
[Ding! Congratulations to Lan Qingyou, Vivian Nádasdy Báthory, Li Huai, Gu Xiaobei, Catherine... and the other 153 people for completely clearing the dungeon 'Gloomy Forest'. The dungeon is now closed. Please continue your efforts.]
After the teleportation array appeared, everyone heard the long-absent notification sound of the world's will.
Everyone looked at each other, joy showing in their eyes.
Sure enough, the world's will hadn't abandoned them.
Being trapped in the dungeon this time could be said to be a long-premeditated 'accident' by others, but the world's will turned this accident into a 'trial' for them.
That's right, in Lan Qingyou's view, since those teleportation portals were opened by the world's will, then It should be able to open them at any time.
But they had been trapped in this place for over ten months with no reaction at all. That meant they had to clear the stage.
Simply put, it was either clear the stage and get out, or die in here.
There was no third option.
Actually, there should be a third choice.
But Lan Qingyou couldn't bring herself to lower her pride.
If only she had lowered her head and gone to ask that person Elisa for advice, it wasn't impossible to get the magic to open a teleportation portal from the other party.
To be honest, the first time she saw it, she was already very covetous of it, but she just couldn't convince herself.
The result was being trapped in the dungeon for such a long time.
After getting out this time, no matter what, she had to find a dignified way to learn it.
Even if it wasn't a finished product, as long as there was theory for her to figure out herself, it didn't matter.
"Are you done dismantling?"
Lan Qingyou looked at the ground where only a small pit remained and asked everyone.
"Done."
The witches all smiled and raised their hands.
It was clear that the harvest this time was not small.
After all, it was an S-rank monster mutated from a Beast Emperor. Everything from hair and skin to flesh and bone could be used as alchemy materials.
Of course, the witches didn't monopolize everything.
The vampires received half of the blood, Gu Xiaobei received some flesh and bone, and Li Huai received a bit of fur.
Although the amounts distributed varied, no one had any complaints.
Especially Li Huai; he just wanted to take some back to ask Ruan Qingyi to make a set of defensive equipment.
So he didn't take much.
However, Lan Qingyou promised that if he found the defensive equipment made from this stuff to be good, and if the Wind Elves needed it, she could sell some to the Wind Elves at a low price.
"Let's go, let's go. We haven't been out for ten months, who knows what's happened outside."
After distributing the final spoils of war, Vivian waved her big hand and was the first to charge into the teleportation portal.
Seeing this, the remaining vampires naturally followed behind.
As for the witches, they waited until all the vampires had gone out before following.
Although everyone missed home.
But right now, with high-level materials on them, they wanted to start researching early even more than they missed home.
After all, S-rank materials weren't that easy to get. Especially an amount the size of such a large hill divided among merely a few dozen people, it seemed even more.
With so many materials, any alchemist would want to quickly do experiments.
"So cold!"
Lan Qingyou, who had just stepped out of the teleportation portal, was instantly hit by a bone-piercing chill and a violent freezing wind.
"Speaking of which, calculating based on the time before we entered the dungeon, it should be around April to May of Year 3 of the Transmigration Era right now. According to the situation in the first year, it's pretty much the time for blizzards."
Vivian counted on her fingers, calculating the time.
"Now that you mention it, that's true. We're already very lucky not to have encountered mana turbulence or a mana tide when we came out. A little wind and frost doesn't matter."
Lan Qingyou nodded.
When she came out just now, she forgot to calculate these two natural disasters that were enough to be fatal.
By the time she remembered to calculate, Vivian had already led the team out, so Lan Qingyou simply followed them out.
It wasn't that she was taking a gamble or worrying about anything.
It's just that with a quick calculation, she knew right now wasn't the time for those two natural disasters.
Bringing it up was purely to remind Vivian.
It's just that the other party currently had her subordinates with her, so Lan Qingyou didn't explicitly point it out.
"Haha, what you're saying is also true. But as long as we're fine now, let's first..."
"Something's wrong."
Lan Qingyou looked around and then glanced at the other three leaders with a somewhat solemn expression.
"Hmm?"
"What's going on?"
The three standing in the snow looked clueless.
"The environment here doesn't look like that Barren Bone Basin we were at when we entered, but rather a place called the Bone-Chilling Snowfield."
Lan Qingyou, who was floating in the air the whole time, noticed this before anyone else.
Although ten months had passed and it was currently snowing heavily, Lan Qingyou could still easily spot the differences in the terrain.
"It's not the Barren Bone Basin?"
"Tsk tsk, now that you say it, it really isn't."
The reminded crowd looked around and only then discovered it was indeed different.
Although they weren't as detail-oriented as Lan Qingyou, they could at least distinguish between a basin terrain and a plains terrain.
When they entered ten months ago, they had passed between two small hills before reaching the dungeon teleportation portal.
Now, turning their heads to look, the snowfield stretched endlessly as far as the eye could see, without any obstructions at all.
However, none of them took this matter to heart like Lan Qingyou did.
"Perhaps it's a reopened teleportation portal, so the location changed."
Vivian provided a reasonable explanation.
"That's the only explanation. Let's not talk about it anymore, let's go back first. Although I don't really want to deal with official business, having been away for more than half a year, going back to take a look will set my mind at ease."
Lan Qingyou thought for a moment and also felt slightly relieved.
After all, they had been schemed against this time and spent so much time on it, so Lan Qingyou's nerves had been tense ever since coming out of the dungeon.
But thinking about it now, she was being slightly neurotic.
"Alright, then let's find an Adventurer's Guild first. We'll talk about the rest after getting a good rest."
Vivian nodded while yawning.
After all, they hadn't closed their eyes for three days and three nights. Although with their spirit they hadn't reached the point of exhaustion.
Sleep was indeed like delicious food, an indispensable existence that allowed people to experience 'happy moments'.
She hadn't felt this way before.
But during these ten months, this True Ancestor of the vampires had fully comprehended this point.
Or rather, inside, apart from fighting monsters to level up, it was just eating, drinking, and sleeping. From this perspective, it kind of had the feeling of enjoying a scenic tour.
"Forget it, forget it, let's first figure out where the Adventurer's Guild is. Although everyone has enchanted clothes and isn't worried about catching a cold, getting home a bit earlier to take a bath would be more comfortable."
Lan Qingyou, somewhat missing the mattress in her Sanctuary, said this.
Thus, everyone immediately set off to start looking for the Adventurer's Guild in this region. As long as they reached the Adventurer's Guild, they could use the teleportation array to go back.
And just as their group was searching for the Adventurer's Guild in that region, the World Channel was also plunged into a storm of public opinion due to their reappearance.
