Endless Winter: My Camp Upgrades Infinitely

Chapter 821: Chapter 322: Cold Beast Teams Join Forces for Treasure, Panic Among the White Dew Gu

“Can these Advanced Cold Beasts communicate with each other?”

The group he chose to assist consisted of Yue Feng, Song Kang, Lin Kai, and Meng Yi. Upon hearing his words, Yue Feng, who had just used his longsword to pierce through the Demon Sheep’s eye on its back, immediately nodded: “The Advanced Cold Beasts in the inner area all move in groups, and there’s hardly any that are alone. They seem to be competing for something. The Lord took a risk to check it out earlier, and many Advanced Cold Beasts are guarding near Yangyuan Peak, as if waiting for something from above.

This group of eleven Cold Beasts is relatively on the outer periphery. The Lord originally intended to attract them one by one, but they seemed to naturally form a team and came together.”

The implications of Yue Feng’s words were immense. As Xia Chuan continued to join forces with the four to exterminate the Demon Sheep, his expression changed instantly.

Different species of Advanced Cold Beasts are moving in packs, all stationed around Yangyuan Peak, evidently attracted by something summoned by that White Dew Gu.

The group of Advanced Cold Beasts they’re dealing with now has three species, totaling up to eleven beasts. Among them, three leaders are currently besieging Xia Hong, and their strength is formidable.

Such a group can only be found on the outskirts of Yangyuan Peak.

How powerful must the groups of Cold Beasts closer to Yangyuan Peak be?

Puchi…….

As Xia Chuan’s expression continuously changed, there was finally progress on the rear battlefield!

It was Li Xuanling. She, together with Li Tiancheng, successfully exterminated the first Striped Tiger. Without any hesitation after the kill, she immediately joined the battle with Song Kang and Yue Qian, assisting them in dealing with the remaining four.

Roar…….

The death of that Striped Tiger evidently alerted the other ten Cold Beasts to the danger, especially the three leaders that had long been attacking Xia Hong without success.

The Striped Tiger among them let out an angry roar, and the other four Striped Tigers being besieged by Li Xuanling received the command. They ignored the weapons of Li Xuanling and others, recklessly charging towards Xia Hong’s direction.

“Block them!”

Li Xuanling’s face changed drastically. Xia Hong was already under great pressure being attacked by the three strongest ones, and if these four Striped Tigers also rushed over, the outcome was unpredictable.

However, her concern was evidently unnecessary!

Puchi…

As the Striped Tiger opened its mouth to roar, Xia Hong made a rear kick, his body suddenly exploding forward, thrusting the Cold Blood Blade directly into its upper jaw.

Xiu……

A strong force of traction issued from the blade, and the Striped Tiger’s pupils flashed with horror, wildly shaking its head attempting to break free from Xia Hong.

But how could its strength compare to Xia Hong’s?

“No need to obstruct them. They’re trying to escape, catch as many as we can.”

Xia Hong’s right hand firmly grasped the hilt, keeping the blade lodged in the upper jaw, and with his left hand tugged at the Striped Tiger’s frontal mane, not only resisting being flung away but actually pulling the Striped Tiger’s body back towards him by force.

“Roar…….”

The strongest among the three, Thunder Kui, suddenly let out a cry at this moment.

However, there was no explosive intent in this cry.

It clearly recognized the might of Xia Hong’s Cold Blood Blade, and its eyes were full of apprehension and fear. After calling, it turned and ran towards the southern snowy field.

“Roar…”

Seeing Thunder Kui run, the Demon Sheep had no heart left for the fight, but it seemed a bit greedy. Not only did it want to run itself, it also wanted to take its three underlings with it, issuing calls to get the three Demon Sheep at the back to retreat.

“Letting the strongest one escape is one thing, but you think you can run too!”

Greed will inevitably come at a price.

The moment the Striped Tiger fell, Xia Hong withdrew the Cold Blood Blade, noticing that the Demon Sheep was barely a hundred meters away and swiftly chasing after it.

The slender, narrow blade of the Cold Blood Blade, being handled by Xia Hong, was as nimble as a butterfly, puncturing several eyes on the back of the Demon Sheep precisely. Accompanied by sounds of bones cracking, blood splattered, and the Demon Sheep’s running posture gradually weakened and slowed. It barely ran past two hundred meters before succumbing to exhaustion and falling.

Two out of the three strongest Cold Beasts were now gone.

Xia Hong picked up the Demon Sheep’s corpse, which had shrunk back to a normal size, and continued north. With his addition, the outcomes of the other two battlefields were easy to predict.

Just after helping Yue Feng’s side finish off the three Demon Sheep, Li Xuanling’s side had already dealt with all five Striped Tigers.

“The Thunder Kui was probably just brought in temporarily to help. The main forces were these six Striped Tigers and four Demon Sheep. It’s truly rare to see these Advanced Cold Beasts forming alliances to snatch treasures…”

Just arriving, Xia Chuan saw such Advanced Cold Beasts joining forces for the first time, couldn’t help but sigh as he walked beside Xia Hong.

The others apparently were unfazed by it.

Yue Feng, slightly breathless, explained: “The Minister just arrived and is not very familiar with the situation. The area within a radius of seven or eight kilometers around Yangyuan Peak is like this. These Advanced Cold Beasts almost never act alone; it ranges from five to six to as many as twenty to thirty. Also, there is always a leader among them. Tonight’s group is considered to be a normal-sized group.”

Hearing this, Xia Chuan asked with slight surprise: “Are there many such groups inside?”

Before Yue Feng could respond, Xia Hong spoke up.

“I went in three days ago to take a look. Around Yangyuan Peak, there are a total of thirteen groups. Tonight’s is considered the weakest. Ten groups have numbers of at least twenty beasts, and at the core, there are two clans, namely the Snow Manes and Frost Wolves, each with over five hundred beasts, with over a hundred Intermediate and more than thirty Advanced.”
