Endless Winter: My Camp Upgrades Infinitely

Chapter 916: Chapter 346: Elite Warriors, One vs Three, Reason Behind the Beast Tide [10,000-Word Chapter, Continued Tomorrow]

”Kill them!”

As Xia Chuan’s voice echoed, the six thousand soldiers of the Great Xia, who had long discarded their bows, roared in anger and surged toward the oncoming beast tide like a tidal wave.

On the battlefield, roaring is naturally to boost one’s own morale, but for individual soldiers, the reasons may vary. Some shout to dispel fear and bolster courage, while others are driven by high spirits and emotions.

At this moment, the situation of these six thousand soldiers of the Great Xia clearly falls into the latter category.

As they looked at the overwhelming beast tide ahead, not a single one showed fear on their faces. Their faces flushed red with excitement, their eyes filled with a fierce bloodthirsty desire, as if the beast tide before them was a delicious feast.

Crack...

In the Ice Abyss World, where strength reigns supreme, no matter how fast the soldiers charge, they can’t outrun the strongest commanders, so the first to engage with the beast tide must be the commanders of the Six Armies.

Two Intermediate Thunder Kui were beheaded by Xia Chuan in an instant.

Clang...

He raised his black saber, about to continue his charge, when a golden horn suddenly thrust from behind the Thunder Kui’s corpse, stopping him in his tracks. The immense force behind the horn not only fractured his wrist but also immobilized his black saber, and his forward-charging body was frozen in place.

Xia Chuan glanced briefly to see a Golden-eyed Demon Sheep, standing just two meters tall behind the horn; its entire body covered with thousands of eyes, and his pupils narrowed slightly.

”A Thousand-eyed Demon Sheep, with strength of at least above twenty quills!”

At the southern exit of Mirror Valley, Li Baihe’s cry of alarm caused Luo Ming and the others to feel their hearts leap into their throats, their pupils filled with astonishment.

The Luoyang Team were also an Advanced Hunting Team, so they naturally understood what a Thousand-eyed Demon Sheep entailed, and even though Xia Chuan was indeed strong, to face this Demon Sheep alone with just a single saber, should be...

”Ah...”

Boom!

Their worried expressions all froze the next second.

Xia Chuan let out an anger-filled roar, his muscles surging with power, as he forced the black saber down, unbelievably pressing the Demon Sheep’s horn to the ground, where it smashed with a thunderous sound.

At the moment the Demon Sheep sensed Xia Chuan’s strength, it had already invoked its combat form, its body extending to over thirty meters, yet even so, it couldn’t change the descent of its head, and as it touched the ground, its unbalanced body came tumbling down.

”Roar... roar... roar...”

After the Demon Sheep fell, it panicked slightly, its limbs writhing frantically on the ground, and countless eyes on its back simultaneously opened, their pupils swiveling, all locking on Xia Chuan in front of its forehead, suddenly blasting out thousands of golden rays.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh...

At this moment, Xia Chuan wore no armor, only a red Viscount’s formal robe, coincidentally adorned with an image of a fierce Golden Demon Sheep.

Clang... clang...

As the thousand golden rays attacked simultaneously, Xia Chuan didn’t arrogantly take them all on but drew his saber and dodged backward.

But those paying attention would notice that he’d quietly switched from holding the saber with both hands to a single hand, and with his left hand freed, he suddenly pulled hard while retreating.

Without the black saber’s pressure, the Demon Sheep’s horn felt the release, its limbs sprang up instantly, its whole body rising once more, and it just about to lift its head to charge at Xia Chuan again, when—

Schiick!

Two three-meter-long silver blades suddenly burst from the ground, one on the left, one on the right, like a guillotine, severing the Demon Sheep’s neck.

The sharpness and power of the silver blades far exceeded everyone’s imagination as the large head of the Demon Sheep was cut off in an instant.

The blade was too swift, the Demon Sheep’s blood didn’t even react at first, and the severed green jade-colored vertebrae and black beast flesh were clearly visible to the naked eye.

Fwoosh...

Of course, this only lasted for a brief moment.

The blood from the Demon Sheep surged forth from its neck, spurting two to three hundred meters north, and the twenty-some people at the southern exit of Mirror Valley, led by Luo Ming, instantly felt the strong scent of blood.

Yet at this moment, they had no spare time to mind the foul stench.

All eyes were firmly fixed on the two silver blades.

Specifically, it was below the two silver blades that rose from the ground, on the crimson-silver giant slowly emerging from the earth.

The giant was estimated to be ten meters tall, and the two silver blades that emerged from the ground were its arms, its legs were two four-edged tapered style blades, its neck, chest, back, waist, and even the limbs were all studded with lustrous silver spikes, giving an impression of cold hostility under the snowy light, like a vast field of thorny blades, terrifyingly menacing.

”That’s the Sword Puppet the Minister crafted last year, reportedly consuming a full eighty thousand pounds of silver. According to the current exchange price of the Camp Supply Department, eighty thousand pounds of silver would cost eight million contribution values!”

”Silver isn’t something everyone can exchange for currently. Cold Resistance Level has a yearly exchange limit of a thousand pounds, only for weapon casting; fourth to sixth ranks have a limit of eight thousand pounds annually; third rank has ten thousand pounds; second rank twenty thousand, and first rank only thirty thousand pounds each year, meaning that the Minister used almost three years’ worth of silver exchange quota to create this Sword Puppet?”

”Eight million, does the Minister have that many contribution values?”

”The Minister has been in charge for many years, the Camp’s current prosperity is largely due to his merits, how could the Lord treat him unfairly? I’ve heard just from the annual year-end evaluations, he can earn more than five million contribution values at once, his wealth is something we can only dream of.”
