Endless Winter: My Camp Upgrades Infinitely

Chapter 841: Chapter 328: Unexplainable Anxiety, Jade Dew Stone, Li Xuanling’s Panic

Although the Wolf King has been executed, there are still at least over 140 Advanced Cold Beasts around the lowland, plus more than 600 Intermediate Frost Wolves and Snow Manes.

Of course, these Cold Beasts are currently scattering in all directions.

On the wide open snowy plains, it’s certainly impossible to annihilate them all!

Li Xuanling led over 200 Cold Resistance Level soldiers, Xia Chuan commanded the Cloud Jiao Army, and Yuwen Dao led the Dragon Martial Army, effectively carrying out the task of wrapping up, just trying to kill as many as possible.

After taking the Blood Sore Pill, Xia Hong sat cross-legged on the spot, recovering for an hour. Li Xuanling and over 200 Cold Resistance Level soldiers slowly approached with their prey, and after waiting for more than ten minutes, the Cloud Jiao Army and the Dragon Martial Army also regrouped.

”Lord, the surrounding Cold Beasts have been cleared, 14 from the Cloud Jiao Army have died, 28 are severely injured, and 101 are lightly injured.”

”29 from the Dragon Martial Army have died, 42 are severely injured, and 210 are lightly injured.”

Upon hearing the casualty report that Xia Chuan and Yuwen Dao called out, Xia Hong turned his head to look at the army behind, which had been reformed, his expression slightly invigorated.

The total number of beasts against us tonight has exceeded four digits, not to mention there are more than 200 Advanced Cold Beasts among them. Even without discussing the gains, just this casualty data is enough to prove the strength of the Cloud Jiao Long Wu Two Armies.

The effect of using a small beast tide for training has initially become apparent. As long as the army continues to be cultivated, no matter how large the beast tide is in the future, it can be handled easily.

”Well done, we’ll do the post-battle summary when we’re back in Xia City. Let the soldiers immediately rest in place for half an hour, pack up their prey, repair bows and weapons, and prepare the Solidified Fire Oil. In half an hour, join me to advance towards Yangyuan Peak!”

”Understood, my Lord!”

Xia Chuan and Yuwen Dao nodded simultaneously and quickly returned to the rear of the military formation to issue orders.

Xia Hong then turned his head to look at Li Xuanling and the others from the Cold Resistance Level, and said:

”You also prepare the Solidified Fire Oil you have. That White Dew Gu will definitely have some tricks left, be careful not to fall into any traps.”

”Yes, Lord!”

Although they came with the Cold Ruins Tripod tonight, Xia Hong, seeking stability, still had everyone carry a dozen pieces of Solidified Fire Oil.

The half-hour passed in a flash, and seeing the army all set, Xia Hong immediately stood up, first storing the Cold Ruins Tripod inside his body, then turned to face everyone and ordered: ”Move out!”

He led over 200 Cold Resistance Levels at the front, with the army escorting the Divine Machine Crossbow Cars following right after, advancing together towards the southern Yangyuan Peak.

Without Xia Direct Road, the marching speed of the army on the snowplain was naturally not that fast. Moreover, considering the beast tide just came from the southern Yangyuan Peak, this area had been trampled beyond recognition, further increasing the difficulty of marching.

Xia Hong estimated that it would take at least an hour for the army to arrive.

If he only brought over 200 Cold Resistance Levels, or went over by himself, he could naturally get there quickly, but Xia Hong did not do so, choosing instead to continue slowly approaching with the army.

Looking at Yangyuan Peak, Xia Hong had a slight change of expression, turning to find Peng Bo in the crowd behind, and asked: ”Peng Bo, you told Xia Chuan that Yangyuan Peak was formed more than 90 years ago, after a giant dew drop fell from the sky and hit the ground, right?”

Upon hearing this, Peng Bo immediately replied: ”Yes, my Lord, that’s true. This rumor has been passed down for four generations in our Yanglu. I also heard it from my father in my early years, who seemed to have learned it from his ancestors.”

Hearing this answer, Xia Hong furrowed his brow and continued to ask: ”How much more do you know about that dew drop, tell me everything!”

Peng Bo said with a wry smile: ”Lord, although I am the leader of Yang Lu, I really don’t know much about this matter. If there’s anything special, it is indeed just one point, which is since setting up the base on Yangyuan Peak, the Yanglu Camp has never been disturbed by a single Cold Beast.”

”Not even once, not a single Cold Beast mistakenly wandered in?”

”Absolutely not, I can confirm!”

After listening, Xia Hong immediately fell into thought.

Peng Bo is only in his fifties, naturally impossible to know such details about a rumor from over 90 years ago, and it’s decent enough that he can relay this much.

No, this point should be considered crucial!

A camp that has not been disturbed by a single Cold Beast for over 90 years is not normal in the Ice Abyss, and from the astonished expressions on the faces of the people of Great Xia at this moment, this much is clear.

”The White Dew Gu only revived this April, which means, before then, it was in an unconscious state, otherwise, the Yanglu Base wouldn’t have lasted so many years. At that time, the Cold Beasts didn’t dare to approach Yangyuan Peak, probably just because they were afraid of its dormant body;

After reviving in April, it attracted a large number of Cold Beasts to protect itself by releasing the mist, isolating outsiders, mainly our surveillance. From its behavior of controlling Wu Xiong, Han Jiuli, Li Xuantiang, and others, it can be seen that its body should have no mobility, and even having no combat power is debatable, otherwise it wouldn’t have remained there waiting passively!”

The one speaking was Li Xuanling, who clearly saw that Xia Hong had his concerns and quietly expressed her speculation. Seeing that Xia Hong gave no response, she continued softly: ”With the Cold Ruins Tripod and Solidified Fire Oil, you don’t even need to set foot on Yangyuan Peak yourself, just...”

”I’m not afraid of it!”

Xia Hong shook his head and chuckled, continuing: ”I understand everything you’re saying, but I actually think that the Cold Beasts might not be afraid of the White Dew Gu’s body at all, Yangyuan Peak over the years may not have been devoid of Cold Beasts wandering in by accident, it’s just that the people in the Yanglu Base haven’t seen them.”
