The snow that fell began to gain momentum over time.
In addition, strong winds are added, and the surrounding area becomes a blizzard, and the vision changes to about 10 meters.
Even if you go straight ahead, you will be resisted and pushed back by strong winds that contain snow, and your health will be depleted even though you are not fighting monsters.
But we didn't stop or turn back, so we kept marching in search of a place to evacuate.
No matter how much of a floor gimmick-resistant cold-resistant robe is equipped, the cold wind that enters through the gap in the gear lowers our body temperature, so now it's our top priority to find a place where the wind won't hit and warm up.
"Everybody, stop. There's a fallen tree rolling there."
A few dead trees about 15 meters long fell a few meters ahead of us.
It may have collapsed from this blizzard.
"Guys, we're gonna use this fallen tree to create a temporary shelter."
"Create a shelter!? Us?
Dan looks surprised.
"Surely it would be dangerous to continue in the snowstorm. Fortunately, the thickness of the fallen tree seems to be twenty centimeters, and it seems that it can be used as a skeleton enough. Let's get ready."
Unlike Dan, veteran Lindbergh understands my thoughts and starts moving towards action.
"Ah, it's not a good idea to walk around in this snowstorm. Me and Lindbergh will cut down the fallen trees and collect the ingredients, while Dan and Leon clear the snow from this place and keep the ground visible."
"Yeah, I got it."
"You mean you just need to snow, right? I think I can do that."
Then Lindbergh and I will cut down the fallen trees and collect the skeletons.
"I see. Please tell me."
When I take the folding saw out of the backpack, I cut the branches with Lindbergh or cut the fallen trees at equal intervals to get the wood.
After the ingredients had gathered, Leon and the others began to assemble the wood, digging a little bit of the ground after the snow had cleared it.
I don't bring nails to the boulder, so I use spider magic stones to tie up the frame with spider threads to secure the wood.
After the large frame of the framework was assembled into rectangles, further grid-shaped branches were attached.
Afterwards, by stacking snow from the top of the attached branch, a hut made of snow is created.
By consolidating the snow, the snow turns into ice and has a strength that does not collapse even under this strong wind.
The inside of the hut is snowing out, so you can sit or sleep with the sheets on.
On snow-capped stages, there are a number of ways to overcome the cold.
There were fallen trees this time, so it was easy to make.
If you actually go inside, the wind will not come in, so it will be enough for you to rest.
"Wow. It's easy to build a hut."
And it's warm in the hut.
"It's a boulder. I never thought I'd be able to build a cabin so efficiently."
"There are many ways to get past the snow, so remember how to adapt to the situation. By combining these methods, we should be able to respond to any situation."
Everyone was cold, so I decided to temporarily burn trees in the hut and wait for the snowstorm to stop while I warmed up.
After that, the snowstorm continued for hours, and we took a break while changing watchmen.
After everyone has entered the snow hut, block the entrance area with snow and make it smaller.
In addition to reducing the wind entering the room, it is less likely that monsters will notice it.
I was able to sleep in a windless snow hut because I didn't feel the cold thanks to a cold resistant robe.
By the time everyone had a few hours of sleep, the snowstorm had stopped and a whole new silver world had been created outside.
In fact, when I went out, there was snow in the blizzard, but the snow was tightly compacted, so there seemed to be no problem going forward.
When I called everyone, I packed my bags and resumed my offensive.
During the blizzard, we suffered from the cold, but now that the blizzard has stopped, the light that falls from above the head is reflected with snow, and the surrounding area turns into a world of light.
The light is too dazzling and my eyes are burning. That feeling attacked us.
"Everybody, put your hood on! If you keep looking at the light, your eyes will burn."
As a countermeasure, we put on the hood as deeply as possible, covered the eyes from below with a cloth to prevent sunburn, and devised to avoid looking directly at the light.
It goes on for a while in that state.
I saw some monsters on the way, but we're not aware of them.
There are distances, but that's not the only reason.
The monsters don't recognize us because our robes are white.
Our march speed must be fast as we go on this extreme cold stage without a fight.
If there is a difference in strength, the battle ends in a few minutes, but the battle with no big difference in strength can be enough.
In addition, in this extreme cold, snow can take the legs, making the battle time longer.
I know that. I'm going to march faster with a chance.
After a while, Leon suddenly raised his voice.
"There's ice all over the place."
I also looked ahead and noticed that there was a large lake full of visibility on the way.
The lake surface was frozen and I thought it was possible to walk.
Having reached the shore of the lake, I was forced to make a choice.
One is how to bypass the lake.
At that time, it is necessary to choose the right route or the left route.
And the only option left is to go straight through the ice.
It's the fastest route without anything, but it's also the most dangerous route to fight.
After a while, I decided on a way forward.
