Lin Yue took out the wooden ladder, leaned it against the wall, and placed this small window on the roof.
Outside the window it was calm, with only snow constantly falling on the glass, but it quickly melted from the warmth inside the house.
"The snow is really heavy."
Watching the snow clumps continuously fall from the gloomy sky, Lin Yue had a premonition about how severe the snowstorm arriving tomorrow would be.
Perhaps, beyond his imagination.
The window came with a sturdy little iron latch, holding the Iron Spear, Lin Yue unlocked it and gently pushed open a small gap to observe the outside commotion.
Great, no bird-like mutated creatures, hardly any snow accumulated on the roof, all melted by the temperature created by the fireplace.
The Shelter's four walls extended outwards about two meters, also without any snow accumulation.
It seems the fireplace is indeed very effective.
Lin Yue used his jacket to cover his hair, wrapped his hands in his sleeves, and lowered his head.
Aiming to prevent contact with the snow to avoid reddening and itching caused by the strange snow.
Yesterday in the group chat, someone ran into the snow and came back completely red-swollen, and don't know about any aftereffects, but Lin Yue didn't want to personally experience it.
The cold wind blew into his clothes, and Lin Yue looked towards the ground.
The thick snow unexpectedly covered the entire Desert overnight!
Moreover, under this blizzard, he couldn't see what was in the distance, stepping on the roof, listening to the continuous banging against the Shelter below, he looked down.
At this, Lin Yue couldn't help but smile.
Goodness, coming in groups to brush the Shelter?
There were actually five more banging against the walls and doors outside!
Among them, three were Mutant Sheep, the other two he saw for the first time. One had a wolf's head, but with spots all over its body and the size of a horse, a mutated creature.
They were currently focused on banging walls and doors, completely unaware that Lin Yue was already on the roof.
The Iron Spear in Lin Yue's hand was already eager to go into action.
"Here I come, Treasure Chest!"
Taking a deep breath, the excellent quality Iron Spear in Lin Yue's hand extended in an instant, its incredibly sharp spearhead cutting through the air, like a silver dragon in this swirling snow!
Whoosh!
Fast, accurate, fierce!
The spear pierced into the neck of the largest Mutant Wolf, and Lin Yue quickly withdrew it, bringing a pool of deep red blood with it.
[You have obtained a Copper Treasure Chest!]
The remaining ones hadn't fully reacted yet, Lin Yue's Iron Spear also plunged into a Mutant Sheep, extracting it with blood!
[You have obtained a Copper Treasure Chest!]
The other mutated creatures finally looked up to see Lin Yue on the roof, but what they didn't expect was that this human would strike so quickly!
Aiming at the remaining two Mutant Sheep, he threw two iron axes, and at such a short distance, the probability of hitting was much higher than before.
The short distance and less inertia naturally made the iron axes less powerful.
However, Lin Yue aimed at their legs and indeed received rather good feedback, as two piercing screams were heard, they fell heavily to the ground!
The remaining one had a head like a deer, but with prominent tiger-like fur and sharp teeth, a mutated creature constantly backtracked; finally, Lin Yue just gestured a bit, and it fled in another direction, burrowing into the snow.
"Ah, over there..."
"Awoo!!"
It let out an extremely tragic scream, and that patch of snow was also stained red with its blood.
"So this is... a self-destructive path?" Lin Yue was surprised by this sudden change.
The deer headed in the wrong direction, directly running into the upgraded trap.
Lin Yue began to wonder if his luck was also going all out.
After a round on the roof, finding no more large mutated animals coming, he opened the window and reentered the Shelter.
Xiaobai was always worriedly guarding below; although not in high spirits, when Lin Yue came down, it immediately jumped to his hand to snuggle.
"Haha, I know you're worried about me, but it's fine now." Lin Yue felt it was really nice to have someone who cares for you.
"Puff!" Xiaobai called out towards the door, not knowing what had happened outside.
Lin Yue touched the doorknob, and Xiaobai urgently made another "puffing" sound.
"Don't worry, the monsters outside have all been eliminated." Lin Yue said this, but still armed himself fully.
Carelessness can lose important ground, it can also take lives.
Just as he opened the stone door, the screams of the two Mutant Sheep outside reached him, Xiaobai crawled onto Lin Yue's shoulder, covered by clothes, so he didn't need to worry about the blizzard touching him.
Lin Yue quickly took a glance outside and without any threats, swiftly ended the cries of the two Mutant Sheep with the Iron Spear.
Copper Treasure Chest X2!
Lin Yue placed the total of five Copper Treasure Chests and one Silver Treasure Chest from the ground into the inventory.
He didn't immediately start dissecting the mutated creatures on the ground but took out the Shovel and shoveled away the snow over half a meter deep, heading towards the back of the house.
Soon, he discovered the poor sucker inside.
"Let me give you a quick one." Lin Yue stabbed down with the spear.
Again, he obtained a Copper Treasure Chest!
A great harvest indeed.
Started dissecting.
[You have obtained Tiger-striped Shadow Deer Pelt X1, Deer Meat (toxic) 10kg]
Toxic?
He looked at the greenish deer meat, shaking his head.
That's no good.
Lin Yue almost threw it away but thought there might be uses for it later, so he kept it.
After tidying up the trap site, Lin Yue sought out the other four trap locations.
The snow fell heavier and heavier.
Lin Yue finally dug out the traps, only to find the mutated creatures inside frozen stiff, with quite a few bugs on them.
What a pity.
He only skinned a Mutant Sheep, leaving the meat untouched.
For some reason, after the beetles with corrosive liquids in their bellies had eaten, he didn't want to touch them, especially as they were frozen solid.
After clearing the five sheep at the door, Lin Yue looked over to where he had chopped off the heads of and speared to death the three Spotted Wolves.
Dissection did not yield wolf meat, but he did get three Spotted Wolf Pelts.
After finishing these tasks, Lin Yue ignored the corpses and went back into the house.
The blizzard was truly too intense.
Closing the stone door, he proceeded to tally his spoils.
The initial three Copper Treasure Chests and one Silver Treasure Chest were the result of cooperation between him and Xiaobai.
The subsequent five Copper Treasure Chests he gained through wisdom and adaptability.
This time he obtained a total of 50kg of sheep meat, six sheep pelts, ten tusks, 10kg of toxic deer meat, and three Spotted Wolf Pelts.
Nine mutated creatures!
Looking at the treasure chests on the ground and the items in the inventory, Lin Yue couldn't help but sigh.
This snowstorm might be a disaster for others.
But for him, it was a great opportunity for hunting!
Looking at all the resources on hand, there wasn't too much left.
How about exchanging some for water and other good stuff?
