Chapter 730: Chapter 474: Frosty Winter Challenge Ends, Legion 1.1 Rule Update

If only separate bones are needed, then it would be much easier.

Zong Shen estimated it was the former, as normal Undead are all converted from relatively complete skeletons over hundreds of years.

The Shadow Pool merely accelerates this conversion process.

Specifics will need to be experimented with when the time comes.

In the territory, dealing with those prey has always involved skinning, chopping meat, and separating organs.

Bones and muscles are chopped into pieces; besides the large sections of fine meat and fat from the waist, abdomen, shoulders, back, and limbs, all other parts are treated this way.

Finding some complete corpses might not be easy.

So Zong Shen considered keeping the corpses of that batch of Icefield Beasts, ensuring the integrity of flesh and bones beforehand.

Having made up his mind, Zong Shen put away this blueprint.

This is a complete building made one by one; if luck is good in the future, there might be another chance to acquire it.

Now there’s one last item left, a palm-sized fine-necked brass bottle.

The bottle’s surface had black spots from oxidation, looking like an old, neglected bottle.

No inscriptions remain on the entire bottle, only a thumb-sized square engraved mark at the bottom.

This mark has become somewhat blurred, the engraving appears uneven, almost indistinguishable in shape.

Such a small bottle possesses an extraordinary function.

[Soul-Draining Copper Bottle (Purple)]

[Quality: Rare Level]

[Effect: Soul Absorption (After killing a target, increases the chance of acquiring souls by 8%)]

(An ancient copper bottle capable of absorbing souls, it might increase the drop rate of soul-related items)

This is a very simple function item, its sole purpose is to increase the probability of acquiring souls to a certain extent.

An 8% base probability isn’t of much use, as the drop rate of souls is inherently low.

After the Newbie Stage ended, Zong Shen only obtained some low-quality or incomplete souls, and he hasn’t had a Purple Soul in a long time.

As a high-level material, it is also a special item capable of enhancing the Talent of non-hero units.

Currently, there’s a large demand for high-tier souls in the territory; Korby, Favide, Tasuya, Aisha, and even the Ranger sisters need further Talent enhancement.

For this, Zong Shen deliberately kept a [Heroic Badge]

Some Rare Level of high-tier buildings also require complete Purple souls as materials.

However, it’s unclear how much effect this Ancient Bronze Bottle can have.

When it comes to probability, who can be sure? For now, it’s merely better than nothing.

So far, the items from the last four Frosty Winter Treasure Chests have been sorted out.

Now there’s just one or two minutes left until noon.

Through the ice-covered window, it is visible that it has started to clear outside.

Pale golden sunlight penetrates layers of barriers, illuminating the room.

Just witnessing such brilliance can inexplicably bring a sense of warmth.

The business with the Eye of the Poisonous Snake is being handled by Wenresa and Luna, while Zong Shen sits by the long table, quietly awaiting the Time Stop status.

Unbeknownst to anyone, the Frosty Winter Challenge has come to an end.

When the time reaches noon, a white light almost instantly occupies the field of vision, and the Time Stop status remains as before.

[Frosty Winter Challenge has been ongoing for 96 hours]

[End of Frosty Winter Third Phase]

[You have obtained a total of 2400 points of basic survival points in this phase]

[Territory casualties: 0]

[The Frosty Winter Challenge has officially ended]

[Challenge Points Exchange Mall will open, duration 24 hours]

[The announcement of the new round of challenges will appear in 72 hours, and will begin in 96 hours]

[Time Stop will continue for five minutes, and the Legion 1.1 rules update will occur two minutes later]

[After the Time Stop ends, the Frosty Winter Treasure Chest, Small Ice Mountain, Icefield Beasts, and Frosty Snow Beast will instantly vanish]

[The snow and frozen conditions caused by Frosty Winter will gradually disappear within two hours]

This Time Stop is rather special, aside from the announcement of the challenge’s end, there will also be a notification about the Legion rules update later.

This signifies that the global development of the Legion has entered a new phase, and the Lord System will dynamically adjust subsequent Legion rules based on actual situations.

Before the Frosty Winter Challenge, there was a countdown in the [Legion] function, indicating a new round of rule updates was ahead.

After the Time Stop continued for two minutes, the announcement regarding the challenge’s end disappeared.

A new announcement gradually emerged.

These pertain to the alterations in [Legion] rules.

[Legion Rules 1.1 Version Update]

[Ⅰ: Remove the restriction linking the recruitment range of Legion members to the Legion Commander’s Territory Level

The current recruitment range for Legion members is adjusted to the range of this region]

[Ⅱ: To address the severe overlap of territory ranges, each Legion member will have one opportunity to migrate their overall territory within the area]

[Ⅲ: When the Legion Level reaches lv3, the [Legion Building] function will be unlocked]

[Ⅳ: After the first thousand-member Legion appears, the 1.2 version rules will begin, and this Legion will also receive supreme honor]

[Ⅴ: The Legion Commander has one opportunity to randomly relocate a Legion member’s territory

Following the random relocation, it will appear in a corresponding unoccupied area within the region

The Legion Commander may delegate this function to the Deputy Legion Commander.]

[Ⅵ: Activate the Legion merger function, which can be initiated with the agreement of both Legion Commanders and more than half of the Legion members present

The progress of the respective Legion Level will be combined, and one Legion’s maximum member capacity must be able to accommodate the total number of members from both Legions]
