Endless Winter: My Camp Upgrades Infinitely

Chapter 839: Chapter 327: The Beast Tide Battle, the Wolf King and the Trump Card, White Dew Gu’s Desperate Situation (4)

“Unveil the tarp, prepare the Divine Machine Crossbow!”

Xia Hong’s shout was almost synchronized with the cessation of the fierce wind.

Over two hundred Cold Resistance Level warriors, gathered around the Iron Wheel Car, responded first. Together with the nearby soldiers, they lifted the black Beast Tent Cloth covering the Iron Wheel Car.

What was revealed on the Iron Wheel Car was a giant crossbow arrow.

The crossbow arrow was directly mounted on the Iron Wheel Car, consisting of three bow bodies. The bow bodies were densely covered with silver patterns, difficult to count at a glance. Any skilled craftsman could instantly recognize that these were all made from Ten Thousand Forged Iron Materials.

The long string of the crossbow mechanism wound around the three bow bodies, appearing loose yet emitting a crystalline blue-white glow under the snowy night. The Cold Resistance Level warriors easily identified that it was a fusion of Snow Bamboo Silk and High-level Teng Jiao Tendon, the top bow-making materials in Great Xia.

The long string, winding over the three bow bodies, measured over a hundred meters at a glance, not to mention its thickness of over twenty centimeters.

More curious was that the bowstrings of the three bow bodies eventually wound to both sides of the Iron Wheel Car, leaving a total of five ropes, each over ten meters long.

“So, this is where the bowstring material was used during this time!”

“If it’s not the Divine Arm Bow, what is it?”

“Didn’t the Lord say it was called the Divine Machine Crossbow?”

“Can any normal person draw this bowstring?”

“Those ropes must be for drawing the bow.”

………

Xiao Kangcheng, Xiao Yuan, and all the other Cold Resistance Level warriors immediately realized why the Camp Supply Department had banned the exchange of bowstring materials lately. Some quick-witted ones guessed the use of this Divine Machine Crossbow by looking at those five ropes.

“Li Xuanling, Li Tiancheng, Hou Jing, Xia Chuan, four groups pull the four ropes below, quickly!”

At this moment, Xia Hong had no time to explain much to everyone. He rushed to the front of the Divine Machine Crossbow, tied the foremost rope to himself, and then forcefully controlled the first bow body of the Divine Machine Crossbow, placing a three-meter-long special silver iron arrow, pulling it with might, then aiming the arrowhead in the direction of the Cold Ruins Tripod.

The named groups of Li Xuanling, at this moment, also realized, swiftly ran to both sides of the Iron Wheel Car, pulling up the four ropes simultaneously, mimicking Xia Hong’s action by tying the ropes to themselves.

“Accumulate power!”

Cre-aaak……

At Xia Hong’s command, over a hundred people in the four groups exerted force at once, causing the bowstring of the Divine Machine Crossbow to drive the rollers, producing a loud noise.

Combining the basic strength of over a hundred Cold Resistance Level warriors, it accumulated to at least four hundred jin, and with Xia Hong leading, the force applied to the Divine Machine Crossbow’s bowstring was at least five hundred jin.

Fwoom… Fwoom…

Ultimately, the bowstring couldn’t withstand the force and snapped, causing shock waves that directly sent many soldiers around the Iron Wheel Car flying, spitting blood continuously.

“Everyone else, fall back!”

Xia Hong immediately issued a warning, then rotated the Divine Machine Crossbow, aiming the iron arrow in the direction of the Cold Ruins Tripod. Like the other over a hundred Cold Resistance Level warriors, his hands were already bleeding, yet he gritted his teeth, not letting go of the rope tied to him.

The other four ropes were used to draw the bowstrings via the rollers, exerting pressure on the Divine Machine Crossbow. The rope tied to him was the final trigger, specifically customized for him by Mu Dong, requiring at least eighty jin of basic strength to draw.

It seems slow to describe, yet everything happened in a flash.

“Release!”

Xia Hong swiftly aimed in the direction of the Cold Ruins Tripod, shouted, and directly released the rope tied to him, simultaneously retreating quickly to the back of the Iron Wheel Car.

Simultaneously, over a hundred people below also released the ropes.

Whizz……

The force from the ropes was channeled through the rollers, instantly resetting the bowstring exerting over five hundred jin of force, producing an immense tearing sound from the Divine Machine Crossbow. The power from the three bow bodies transferred completely to the special silver crossbow arrow at the front.

Whoosh……

The silver crossbow arrow, measuring three meters long, was more of a long spear than an arrow. As it launched from the crossbow mechanism, it didn’t make the typical whooshing sound of an iron arrow but instead unleashed a violent airflow that ignited the air along its path, leaving a straight trail of fire in mid-air, heading toward the Cold Ruins Tripod in the valley.

This arrow dimmed the entire world.

Everyone felt as if the surrounding temperature suddenly surged.

The terrifying wind brought by that Wolf King earlier was nothing compared to the fierce wind generated by this arrow.

It was three to four meters above the ground, yet along its path, not only was all the accumulated snow lifted into a white mist, but even the ground was upheaved, leaving a narrow trench five to six meters deep.

Xia Hong, the one who fired the arrow, along with Li Xuanling and over a hundred other participating Cold Resistance Level warriors, plus the rest who did not partake, including the soldiers of both forces, were instantly dumbfounded!

Even those advanced Cold Beasts attacking the army formation, noticing the horror of this arrow, halted their movements, turned their gaze this way, their eyes filled with dread and fright.

Splosh……

The Cold Ruins Tripod had half of its body buried underground, supposedly rendering Xia Hong’s shot without a target, as he aimed above the tripod’s body.

However, unexpectedly, he hit it!
