As the sun blazes high and the days grow longer, we’re excited to bring back our summer events! This update is all about embracing the joys of summer with a wave of exciting new content, sizzling adventures, and refreshing changes that will make your gaming experience even more enjoyable. Let’s dive into the highlights of this sun-soaked update!

[h3]New Creature：Ice Demon Scorpion[/h3]

The Ice Demon corpion is a scorpion-like magical beast that dwells in extremely cold regions. Despite its small size, it possesses formidable strength. Its large pincers serve as both powerful weapons for attacking and shields for defending against frontal assaults. The most threatening aspect of the Ice Demon Scorpion is its tail, which can shoot icicle needles.
This creature is imbued with a significant amount of ice element, causing those who approach it to feel an intense chill. Riders must take precautions to stay warm while riding the Ice Demon Scorpion.
One notable weakness of the Ice Demon Scorpion is its inability to move while firing icicle needles. Clever fighters often exploit this flaw to defeat the otherwise mighty creature in battle.

Skills
LMB：Regular attack. In turret mode, the attack transforms into icicle needle attacks, consuming ice magic stone essence which can be obtained by combining ice and water magic stone within Ice Demon Scorpion’s inventory.
RMB：Toggle into turret mode where regular attacks will transform into icicle needle attacks.
C Button：Adds an ice claw buff where all damages taken by the claws are reduced by half. Regular attacks will have a chance to slow the enemies.

Special Abilities
1. Increase heat resistance to all players nearby, while reducing the cold resistance.
2. Consumables such as food in the inventory spoil slower

Spawn Locations：
Pixark：Frozen Land
Skyward：Crystal Island

Change in Reindeer spawn locations：
Pixark：Mountian Forest
Skyward：Woodlands

[h3]Holiday Dodo is BACK![/h3]
Players can obtain Casual Beachwear/Crab Beachwear/Beach Lounger upon defeating Holiday Dodos at:

Pixark：Novice Grassland/Grassland
Skyward：Dawn Island/Woodland

[h3]New Items[/h3]
1. New potion “Great Beast Serum” :

Introducing the Great Beast Serum in ARK defending challenge mode. It is a potent concoction extracted from the blood of various creatures. This mixed serum can significantly enhance the strength and abilities of dinosaurs, making them even more formidable in battle.

Players can craft it at the ARK tower in the defending challenge with:
- Dilophosaurus Venom x5
- Mantis Shell x5
- Argentavis Feather x1
- Rex Skull x1
- Werewolf blood x1

BUFF：Using this serum increases the attack power and damage resistance of all tamed dinosaurs near the player by 50%. The effect lasts for 120 minutes. However, this serum can only be used in the ARK Defending Challenge. Upon leaving the Ark Tower, both the serum and its buff will be removed. Each player can craft only one bottle of this serum every 24 hours.

2. Ice Demon Scorpion Saddle - can be learned at lv70.
