Endless Winter: My Camp Upgrades Infinitely

Chapter 557: Chapter 241: Message, Rebellion, and the Strange Wu Xiong (Part 2)

A crack opened at the base of the giant stone, revealing a pair of eyes. Despite the five or six meters of distance, the person inside recognized Yuan Cheng at a glance.

”Director Yuan is back!”

The guard’s voice was filled with joy as he immediately opened the crack in the giant stone, clearly preparing to welcome Yuan Cheng back.

”No need to open the crack. I can’t come in. Quickly notify Meng Yi to come out. Also, do you have any Solidified Fire Oil? If you do, toss it to me. If not, hurry and get some for me.”

Yuan Cheng was aware of Xia Chuan’s attack on Wushuang. Only Meng Yi and Hong Tian, along with a thousand Great Xia Earth-digging Realm troops, were stationed at the Beehive, so he directly instructed the guard to notify Meng Yi.

Upon hearing Yuan Cheng’s words, the guard, although puzzled, detected the gravity in his tone and quickly tossed two pieces of Solidified Fire Oil out, saying:

”I’ll go notify Lord Meng immediately. Director Yuan, please wait briefly.”

Yuan Cheng caught the Solidified Fire Oil, swiftly crushed and smeared it around the wound, and then began observing the state of the white dewdrops.

Sss...

The milky white dewdrops, upon contact with the Solidified Fire Oil, immediately emitted a faint smoke and then started to condense and fade, gradually becoming transparent, eventually changing into clear water-like droplets.

Yuan Cheng wiped his hand over and his eyes were suddenly filled with delight.

”Thankfully, it works!”

When climbing out from the pile of corpses and seeing that the dewdrops were different from the previous night, he was always somewhat uneasy, worried that the White Dew Gu’s power had strengthened, making the dewdrops harder to remove.

Luckily, the Solidified Fire Oil still proved effective.

”Yuan Cheng, what’s the situation?”

Meng Yi arrived, walking out directly from the base of the giant stone, approaching Yuan Cheng.

”Don’t come near me. First, have someone prepare a batch of Solidified Fire Oil for me. Yuwen Dao is severely injured, along with a group trapped near Yangyuan Peak. I need to rush back to rescue them. There is a situation of extreme urgency with Yang Lu that I must tell you first. You should immediately inform the lords at Wushuang...”

Meng Yi was aware that Yuwen Dao was disguised as Lin Ye at Yang Lu while Yuan Cheng took people to support. Hearing Yuan Cheng’s serious tone, although curious as to why he couldn’t approach, he immediately ordered someone to prepare the Solidified Fire Oil, focusing intently on Yuan Cheng’s words.

With each piece of information received, victory of the Longyou Army, Wu Ying’s death, Wu Xiong and Han Jiuli’s defeat, Yuwen Dao plighted by Li Xuantiang..., Meng Yi’s face turned increasingly grave.

Finally, upon hearing about White Dew Gu and the plague, Meng Yi’s pupils suddenly contracted and his expression turned extremely solemn.

”Wait here, the Solidified Fire Oil will be delivered soon. I will now head to Wushuang to report to the lords.”

”Alright, make sure to hurry!”

.........

Wushuang Giant Stone Camp, main building.

There were only three people in the main building, with Xia Chuan seated at the head, and below him Peng Bo and Luo Yuan.

However, both Xia Chuan and Luo Yuan were smilingly staring at Peng Bo.

Pang Bo, seated on the left, was cautiously holding a cup of aged wine, savoring its aroma for several breaths, intoxicated for a long while before taking a sip, afterward revealing an expression of utter enjoyment, and finally sighing after relishing it for a long time.

”I’ve lived over fifty years, never tasted anything this good before. What did you just call this, my lord?”

”Wine, it’s called aged wine, considered the most common type in Great Xia right now!”

Upon hearing that there was even better wine, Peng Bo’s eyes instantly lit up, glancing at the bundle on Xia Chuan’s table and, with a sneaky smile, he hesitantly opened his mouth:

”Is there something better? My lord, is it possible...”

”Hahaha, don’t even think about it, the production of this thing is not much. I just happened to have a bottle on hand to let you taste it. When we return to Xia City, you can find the Camp Supply Department to exchange for it!”

”Haha, this is just aged wine, if you tasted a sip of Blood Cold Wine, you’d probably never forget it for a lifetime, Lord Peng.”

After merely tasting a cup, Peng Bo had already opened his mouth to ask for more. This demonstration of the strong allure of the wine made Xia Chuan and Luo Yuan chuckle, and a sense of pride arose within them.

Though the strength of Great Xia might not be the greatest in Longyou, in terms of productivity and resource abundance, based on the situation they observed, even Long Mountain and Zhaoyang were no match for Great Xia.

Seeing the pride in their eyebrows, Peng Bo not only felt an attraction to the Blood Cold Wine but also found himself growing more eager about Xia City, which they repeatedly mentioned.

Having been a leader for so many years, Peng Bo had sharp insight. His decision to join Great Xia was largely due to the lifesaving grace extended to his three grandsons, but the inadvertently revealed elements from Xia Chuan and others were also very significant.

There’s no need to elaborate on their strength. From what they observed, the combined Earth-digging Realm numbers of Beehive and Wushuang had already reached 2500, with over a dozen at Cold Resistance Level. Even just these stats showed that Great Xia was only slightly inferior to Long Mountain and Zhaoyang.

Crucially, this was only a part of Great Xia’s strength projected into Longyou.

Regarding resource abundance, even without this cup of aged wine in front of them, one could infer much from the light golden armor worn by those in the Earth-digging Realm of Great Xia and the clothing beneath it.

”Xiaoming, Xiaofeng, and Xiaozu will set off to Xia City tonight. They will see what Xia City is like before me!”

While Peng Bo looked forward to this, he couldn’t help but feel reassured, thinking that his three grandsons would get to Xia City first and enjoy all kinds of materials he had never seen.

”Luo Yuan, how is the resettlement task arranged?”

Upon hearing Xia Chuan’s sudden question, Luo Yuan immediately nodded, excitedly saying, ”Everything is arranged. At Wushuang, counting 821 captives, the total population is 25,210. They will be divided into five batches, led by Hong Gang, Huang Yong, Zhao Hu, Zhao Bao, and Lu Yang. Five Intermediate Hunting Teams will make five round trips to first take people to the Beehive. Once they reach the Beehive, they will then proceed south in batches through Jing Valley and finally to Xia City!”
