Chapter 351: The Strange Object [Ecological Gourd], the Mountain Rocks Beg for Mercy
——【Wild Frenzy】： Burns 20% of energy reserves, ignites the wild potential within wild boars, Strength +30%, Damage Reduction +70%, Stamina +30%, Speed +30%, duration 10 minutes.
This was one of the title abilities of Xiao Shan's 【Wild Boar Tyrant】.
Under the effect of 【Wild Frenzy】, the wild boar herd became utterly frenzied machines. They charged into the building where Yu Yuan was and began destroying everything.
*Bang—*
Continuous crashing sounds rang out. The entire building trembled slightly. Especially the Bronze-tier wild boars; each of their attacks would demolish a wall.
Feeling the vibrations getting closer and closer, Yu Yuan smiled.
Because he saw the Mountain Stone Shelter, riding his wild boar, charging into the thick layer of ice and snow downstairs.
Success!
If these wild boars had truly holed up inside the building and refused to come out, Yu Yuan would have been quite annoyed. He would have had to think of other methods then.
But now that they had come out and entered the snow, he no longer needed to lift a finger.In a blizzard environment, being in the snow and not being in the snow are two completely different things.
Yu Yuan prepared to leave.
However, before leaving, he needed to do one final thing.
A canteen appeared in his hand.
——Baptized Military Canteen
Quality: Rare Artifact
Ranking: Unranked
Introduction: Though it is just a canteen, it might be your only hope in a desperate situation.
Functions:
① Can simultaneously store 5 types of liquid, with a maximum capacity of 1000L for each type.
② The liquid stored in the canteen always remains in the state it was when poured in; its quality will not change.
It was already filled by Yu Yuan with scalding hot water pumped from the geothermal well.
Hmm~~~ the kind carrying toxic substances.
Behind him, accompanied by "huffing and puffing" panting sounds, the first wild boar had already reached the floor where Yu Yuan was, its gaze firmly locked onto Yu Yuan standing by the window.
With a sharp "oink" sound, the Charge began again.
But just as it was about to complete the collision, Yu Yuan disappeared from the window. The wild boar immediately sensed something was wrong. It dug its four hooves into the ground, shifted its center of gravity backward, and its hindquarters scraped against the floor as it tried to stop.
*Bang— Crash—*
The window's alloy frame was shattered to pieces by the wild boar's impact, but it was precisely this collision that allowed the boar to just barely stop.
This wild boar actually had a look of relief after a narrow escape in its eyes.
Clearly, it was quite intelligent.
But before it could rejoice, it heard an excited "oink" sound coming from behind.
An expression of astonishment and panic reappeared on the wild boar's face.
Before it could react.
*Bang—*
The wild boars behind had already crashed into each other, like a game of billiards, one after another flying out from the window.
Like dumplings being dropped into water, they all slid and fell from the window.
"Oww—"
On the street, only the "shrieks" piercing the night sky remained.
Not far away, Xiao Shan was riding his wild boar across the thick layer of snow. Looking up, he saw this shocking scene.
Immediately afterward, he felt a chill on his body. The bear skin behind him disappeared, and a torrent of scalding hot liquid poured down, drenching him from head to toe thoroughly.
"Ahhh~~~"
Xiao Shan let out a miserable scream.
When Xiao Shan turned to look, he saw the figure who should have been rammed by the wild boars now standing right behind him. The man was holding his bear skin in one hand and a canteen in the other, also looking right at him.
"As a meeting gift, I'll give you a hot bath. Don't thank me!"
Then, under Xiao Shan's wide-eyed, furious gaze, Yu Yuan disappeared again without a trace.
"Ah— You shameless bastard!"
Yu Yuan appeared on the second floor of a nearby building.
Looking down at the constantly oinking wild boar herd and the completely drenched Mountain Stone, he understood in his heart.
This invasion war was basically over.
If, before, the Mountain Stone Shelter still had a chance of survival, then in this current situation, he didn't have the slightest chance of staying alive.
Unless he also possessed a Rare Artifact similar to the 【Escape Badge】.
But was that possible?
The answer was obvious.
Yu Yuan paid no more attention to the Mountain Stone Shelter. Let him cool off for a bit; he could come back later to collect the bounty.
A few 【Shadow Strides】 later, he headed towards another part of the street.
The Mountain Stone Shelter was no longer a concern. He had done what he needed to do; the rest could be left to the Extreme Cold.
It wasn't easy to come out, so he might as well collect Firefly Earth's spoils of war.
Soon, Yu Yuan arrived at the street where Firefly Earth had last appeared.
On the street, the weapons and equipment Firefly Earth had discarded not long ago were already covered with a layer of white snow.
Yu Yuan collected all this equipment, entered that building, and as soon as he stepped inside, he saw a discarded backpack on the floor.
Following the footprints on the ground, he continued to the upward staircase passage. A frozen corpse appeared in the middle of the stairs.
The skin of the entire body was frozen a bluish-black, and a faint smile still hung at the corner of the mouth.
Yu Yuan approached and shook his head slightly.
He collected all the equipment and items from the body into the Rabbit Ring. Among them, a Rare Artifact shaped like a gourd caught Yu Yuan's attention.
It was actually a Rare Artifact on the Leaderboard. Yu Yuan was somewhat pleasantly surprised.
【Ecological Gourd】
Quality: Rare Artifact
Rare Item Leaderboard: 4987th place
Currently contained biological species: Fireflies
Quantity: 11,232
Functions:
① Contains a 30 cubic meter ecological space, which is a self-contained ecosystem.
② Can only contain living creatures. The maximum size of a living creature cannot exceed 1 meter × 1 meter.
————————————
"Hmm?"
"This is actually a good item!"
Yu Yuan immediately recognized the value of this thing.
Although Yu Yuan already possessed the Loser's Cube, which could contain living creatures, after using it for so long, he naturally understood the limitations of that item.
The advantage of the Loser's Cube was that regardless of the target's size, it could be contained within a cube compartment.
But this was also the weakness of the Loser's Cube: regardless of the size of the creature, as long as it was contained, one creature occupied one compartment, without exception.
Containing an elephant occupied one compartment; containing an ant also occupied one compartment.
Now, this Ecological Gourd perfectly compensated for this weakness of the Loser's Cube.
After collecting all these items,
Fang's message also came through.
【Fang: King, that guy is done for.】
Following that was a photo taken from the street.
The wild boars formed a circle, surrounding Mountain Stone in the center, trying to withstand the threat of the blizzard.
But having lost his bear skin coat, with the supplies and backpack he brought destroyed in Yu Yuan's earlier attack, and his entire body soaked through, his skin not only blistering from the scalding hot groundwater but also freezing from the blizzard...
All the negative buffs had been fully stacked.
Even though the wild boars surrounded him now, hoping that the layer of mud on the boars' bodies could provide heat was simply wishful thinking.
Xiao Shan clearly understood he was doomed.
His body was constantly shivering. He could feel the heat inside his body draining away rapidly. The clothes on his body had already started to freeze; continuing to wear them was no different from wearing a coat of ice.
Left with no choice, he could only take off the already frozen clothes. This was his only option.
But this didn't give him the slightest warmth.
He huddled between the two front legs of a wild boar and shouted towards the surroundings:
"Yu... Yuan, ch-ch-ch... I was... wrong. L-let me... go. All my... survival points... all... g-give them... to you..."
"I... was... wrong... ch-ch-ch... I b-beg you..."
