Endless Winter: My Camp Upgrades Infinitely

Chapter 830: Chapter 325: Mobilizing the Beehive, Where Is the Divine Arm Bow? Full Deployment

Second Year of Great Xia, December 29

As night fell, the underground main area of the Beehive came alive.

The two thousand warriors of the Cloud Dragon Army and the Dragon Martial Army had donned their war armors early, picked up their strong bows and weapons, and quickly assembled at the exit of the main area’s iron gate.

On the top floor hall of the main building, more than two hundred people gathered, with most chatting cheerfully except for a few sitting solemnly at the front.

“Hahaha, Old He, you broke through too?”

“Luck, luck, I just broke through half a month ago.”

“Old Yang, you’re not bad either, you broke through just last night, right?”

“Just made it in time, otherwise entering the Martial Arts Academy would’ve been for nothing.”

“Hahaha, I broke through last night too, one day later and I would’ve missed it.”

……

In the front row, Xiao Kangcheng looked around at over two hundred people, with an expression of disbelief.

Of course, he wasn’t the only one in disbelief; beside him was Xiao Yuan, who was also counting heads and then turned to Xiao Kangcheng in astonishment, “210 people, that’s a bit exaggerated, so many have broken through in less than a month, since when did Cold Resistance Level become so cheap?”

Hearing this number, Xiao Kangcheng’s face showed even more shock.

He remembered clearly that at the beginning of the month, the entire camp had just over 100 at the Cold Resistance Level. In less than a month, the number had doubled, which was indeed exaggerated.

“Zhu Xing pays respects to Lord Xiao!”

While the two were amazed, their old acquaintance Zhu Xing approached, smiled, and greeted Xiao Kangcheng with a bow, then continued, “In October, among the 260,000 people merged from Longyou, there were many at the Earth-digging Realm Limit, who were already on the brink of breaking through. With the help of high-level beast blood, Blood Spirit Pills, and support from the Martial Arts Academy, it’s not surprising they’ve concentrated their breakthroughs.”

Upon hearing this explanation, Xiao Kangcheng finally understood.

Indeed, if it were only those at the Earth-digging Realm Limit in Great Xia itself, there shouldn’t be this many breakthroughs, but including the group from Longyou in October made it more reasonable.

Xiao Kangcheng, having received the summon during the day and just arrived from Xia City to the Beehive, was not informed about the advanced cold beasts within Yanglu Realm. Thinking that Zhu Xing was the captain of the Cloud Dragon Army’s reconnaissance camp, he inquired proactively:

“Brother Zhu, I heard in Xia City that around Yangyuan Peak, there are several hundred advanced cold beasts. Is the lord gathering us here for this matter?”

Although he was bestowed with the title of Ninth-rank Marquis, Zhu Xing, being at the same Cold Resistance Level and an old acquaintance from Five Ape Mountain, did not put on airs.

Upon hearing his question, Zhu Xing’s expression became serious as he nodded and said:

“Indeed, around Yangyuan Peak, counting the two tribes of Snow Mane and Frost Wolf, there are a total of twelve cold beast groups, with nearly three hundred advanced cold beasts. However, in the past twenty days, the lord led us to solve three waves from the outskirts, leaving seven cold beast groups, each with more than twenty heads.

Of course, there’s also the two tribes of Frost Wolf and Snow Mane, which the Cloud Dragon Army and the Dragon Martial Army alone cannot easily handle.”

At this time, Xiao Yuan asked, “Can’t we use torches to attract them? We don’t need to encircle and annihilate them; just use a large number of torches to draw all these cold beasts away from Yangyuan Peak, right?”

Zhu Yuan shook his head and said, “Torches don’t have that strong an attraction to advanced cold beasts, at least not those advanced cold beasts, which clearly value the things that White Dew Gu has created at Yangyuan Peak more.

The lord tried earlier, using torches to control distance to attract them, but it wasn’t effective. The three waves we solved in the past twenty days were drawn out by the lord personally risking himself!”

Although Xiao Kangcheng had broken through to Cold Resistance Level, he hadn’t attempted hunting advanced cold beasts and thought it would be the same as hunting mid and low-level cold beasts, using small fire torches to lure them away.

He only understood after Zhu Xing’s explanation.

“So, the lord plans to forcefully drive away the cold beasts near Yangyuan Peak with us, the two hundred at Cold Resistance Level, plus the Dragon Martial Army and Cloud Dragon Army, is there confidence in this?”

After asking, Xiao Kangcheng exchanged glances with Xiao Yuan, both showing some apprehension, clearly feeling uncertain.

Without thinking too deeply, not to mention the two large tribes of Snow Mane and Frost Wolf, even just the over two hundred advanced cold beasts alone already vastly exceeded their side in strength.

Cold Resistance Level wanting to hunt advanced cold beasts requires either strong individuals capable of handling them alone or at least three people working together. This in itself proves that in one-on-one situations, most advanced cold beasts are far stronger than human Cold Resistance Level.

Moreover, among the more than two hundred at Cold Resistance Level gathered here today, more than half had just broken through, with most having a basic strength below two manes.

Even considering the Cloud Dragon Army and Dragon Martial Army, successfully driving away so many cold beasts near Yangyuan Peak might not be so simple.

Zhu Xing clearly understood this as well, so he didn’t directly answer but rather furrowed his brows slightly before speaking in a deep voice:

“Since the lord has gathered us here, there must be a plan. I heard that for the past twenty days, the Craftsmen Workshop has been rushing to make Divine Arm Bows. If we all get equipped, there might be hope!”

“This… what Brother Zhu said makes sense too.”

Xiao Kangcheng’s expression slightly tensed, finally nodding in agreement.

He had already heard about the two hundred Divine Arm Bows in Xia City.

The question is, can these bows be enough to bridge the strength gap between the two sides?
