Thump!
Chen Mo struggled immensely to drag this colorful ice block over and move it onto the Floating Ice.
Hit by such a large ice block, the Old Floating Ice cried out in pain!
"Oh my god? It's too heavy! Old Ice floe is going to sink!"
"Quiet!"
The Old Floating Ice did indeed shake, but it was still far from sinking. He had no time to bother with this Old Man, so he seized the time to salvage the other ice blocks.
Soon, the remaining ice blocks drifted far away.
Because too much time was spent salvaging the colorful ice block, only 7 ordinary small ice blocks were salvaged this time.
Alright!
If the colorful ice block could yield something special, it would be worth it!
Chen Mo chose to decompose this ice block first, but failed.
【Prompt: Cannot decompose directly!】
What does that mean?
Do I need special tools?
Chen Mo scratched his head and curiously checked the introduction of the colorful ice block.
【magical colorful ice block】
【Description: As the rarest ice block on the ocean, it can only be decomposed using a magic ice crystal hammer. After decomposition, you are 100% guaranteed to obtain a high-level item, and this item is unique!】
In other words, the treasure yielded by the magical colorful ice block is the only one in the entire game world!
And don't worry about getting a single piece of trash, because it's 100% a high-level item!
Amazing!!!
Chen Mo suddenly felt particularly excited!
What on earth is hidden inside this ice block?
Looking through the ice block, amidst the colorful glow, there was faintly something white, but it was unclear what it was!
If I want to know, I have to craft the magic ice crystal hammer first!
Chen Mo opened the crafting interface, checked the tool crafting recipes, and quickly found the crafting method.
【Ice Crystal Hammer: magic ice crystal stone (0/5)】
【Description: A hammer crafted from magic ice crystal stone, capable of efficient construction, repair, and disassembly!】
Good grief!
It requires 5 magic ice crystal stones right off the bat?
Are you kidding me?
Chen Mo hasn't even seen one magic ice crystal stone up to now, let alone 5!
So, this magical colorful ice block, he still can't open it himself!
He was a bit unconvinced, so he pushed the colorful ice block next to the Fire Pile. If he couldn't decompose it, why not let it slowly melt by the fire?
However, after Chen Mo finished decomposing the other ice blocks, he was surprised to find that the colorful ice block was exactly the same as before, with no trace of melting!
Even a small wood hammer couldn't break it; it was as hard as a diamond!
It was obvious that smashing it with the ice crystal hammer was the only way to decompose it!
This was quite frustrating!
He was now like someone guarding a large Treasure Chest, but couldn't open it no matter what, and the key thing was, it didn't talk...
Chen Mo looked into the distance; for now, no ice blocks were approaching the Floating Ice.
Alright, I'll go ask if other players have any.
He opened the communication channel and instantly saw a massive amount of messages.
【Who has extra grass bundles? I'll buy them at a high price!】
【I'll trade food for grass bundles!】
【Stop wasting your time, who has extra grass bundles? I'm not sleeping tonight!】
【grass bundles! grass bundles! Buying grass bundles!】
At a glance, ninety-nine percent of the messages were asking for grass bundles. Chen Mo wasn't too worried about the grass bundle issue; with his salvage efficiency, gathering enough grass bundles wouldn't be a problem.
However...
If he had extra grass bundles, it should be easy to trade for magic ice crystal stones!
Chen Mo closed the communication channel and stopped inquiring for information.
First, collect as many grass bundles as possible. With extra grass bundles, what good item couldn't he trade for?
While there are no ice blocks now, I'll drink the shrimp soup first, gather enough strength, and try to salvage more ice blocks in the next wave!
At this time, the crushed ice in the small iron basin had long since melted and boiled.
Chen Mo picked it up and tried sipping a mouthful.
The taste was very bland, with a faint hint of seafood; it wasn't good to drink, but not bad either.
He held this basin of shrimp soup, sipping it mouthful by mouthful. By the time the soup was finished, his body had warmed up quite a bit.
Looking back, another pile of ice blocks had drifted over.
"Time to work!"
He put a portion of crushed ice into the small iron basin and continued melting it on the grill. Chen Mo rubbed his hands together, gripped his fishing net tightly, and listened to the ice blocks shouting like minions.
Soon, he found the ice block containing the grass bundle. Once it got close, he netted it!
Bang!
The ice block is ashore!
He didn't hesitate and continued salvaging. As his movements became more skilled, his salvaging speed also increased!
With a few muffled thuds, several more ice blocks landed on the Floating Ice.
The Old Floating Ice grumbled as usual, and Chen Mo ignored its noise as usual.
Soon, another five or six ice blocks were salvaged.
Moreover, the Floating Ice was blocking two ice blocks, which were calling out there!
"I have wood, I have wood!"
"I have a cover, I have a cover!"
Chen Mo was startled for a moment!
What the heck is a cover?
That cover???
I'm a damn man, what use is it to me?
Although he thought this, Chen Mo still salvaged both ice blocks. Even if he couldn't use them, burning them for warmth would be good.
He counted them again and actually ended up with 16 ice blocks, which means 16 grass bundles!
Maintaining this efficiency, with two more waves of ice blocks, he would have enough grass bundles. If he was lucky, he might even have a few left over!
He decomposed all the ice blocks one by one. When it came to the ice block with the cover, Chen Mo's expression was a bit strange.
Decompose~
【Obtained: crushed ice x2, Mask x1!】
It's a mask???
Chen Mo was speechless for a moment, he had overthought it after all!
As for the mask, I'll wear it. It should provide some warmth...
Chen Mo put this white mask on his face, and his cheeks indeed felt a bit warmer.
Not bad!
Now I can warm myself by the fire. When the next wave of ice blocks comes, I'll try to salvage more.
Thinking this, Chen Mo looked back into the distance.
Suddenly, his brows furrowed!
A small white dot appeared on the sea surface; it looked like another piece of Floating Ice!
There were faintly people on the Floating Ice, and seemingly two of them!
The two allied players that the Small Seabird saw?
The other party's Floating Ice was still approaching; it looked like the two sides were about to meet!
Chen Mo prepared his meteor hammer. If the two sides really met, there would likely be a fight!
However, the probability of this was small.
Neither side had ranged weapons. As long as the Floating Ice didn't collide face-to-face, neither side could really do anything to the other!
But...
Chen Mo's expression became increasingly serious!
As the two sides got closer, he saw that one person on the other side wasn't on the Floating Ice!
They actually have a raft???
A fight is inevitable!
The other party clearly saw Chen Mo too. One of them pointed this way and waved the spear in his hand!
Chen Mo approached the edge of the Floating Ice, ready for battle!
He would absolutely not let the other party take any of his resources!
Soon, the two sides got within less than a hundred meters of each other.
A skinny man on the raft desperately paddled, shouting at Chen Mo as he rowed!
"Listen up, you on the other side! Hand over all your valuable resources! We are pirates!"
Chen Mo curled his lip.
They're actually pirates?
But looking at him like this, will he still have the strength to rob after paddling the raft over?
