Endless Winter: My Camp Upgrades Infinitely

Chapter 1253: Chapter 415: The Jiao Long Nest Blooms and Bears Fruit, Changes in the Siblings’ Personalities (Part 3)

The five methods of Dajue Temple, the only one not yet used, is the Shock Sky Pill meant for Master Ju Yuan. Xia Hong has witnessed the other four methods firsthand, and one of them is not meant to enhance soldiers’ abilities, but rather to kill.

To be precise, it is soul extraction.

That is Master Wusheng’s Primordial Soul Pill.

Over a million people took the Primordial Soul Pill, recited the Rebirth Mantra, and their soul bodies were all extracted to resurrect the Five-headed Monster Face Maitreya.

Cheng Feng even managed to replicate the Primordial Soul Pill, naming it the Soul Separation Pill. Xia Hong’s face first showed a thoughtful expression before he turned to look at Mu Dong.

When Mu Dong had just introduced the Soul Separation Pill, he added a descriptor ”a bit eerie”, so Cheng Feng must have explained the effects of this pill to him.

”This Soul Separation Pill is indeed a bit eerie. According to Cheng Feng, he tested it on ten death row prisoners in the Heavenly Prison, and eight died instantly, with only two waking up after an hour. Unfortunately, those two seemed to have seen something terrifying while unconscious, and they went mad before we could ask them anything.”

No wonder it’s called the Soul Separation Pill!

It was as if they had seen something very terrifying.

Xia Hong pondered for a moment, then poured out a greenish Soul Separation Pill, raising his hand to put it in his mouth.

”Big brother, you...”

”Lord, you must not!”

”Hahaha, I’m not that foolish, just teasing you all!”

Seeing Xia Chuan and Mu Dong’s tense expressions as they strongly advised against it, Xia Hong couldn’t help but burst into laughter, then placed the pill back in its container.

Upon seeing him put the pill back, Xia Chuan and Mu Dong both breathed a sigh of relief, evidently having been quite frightened by Xia Hong’s actions.

”Notify Cheng Feng that next time he tests the pills on prisoners, have Xu Ning watch by the side. He has merged Master Wusheng’s organs, so he should be able to discern something.”

”As you command, Lord!”

After Mu Dong finished introducing the second item, he continued with the third:

The third person brought a wooden box, inside of which was a neatly folded black curtain.

”This is Dajue Temple’s military tent, isn’t it?”

Upon seeing the black curtain, Xia Hong immediately recognized it.

Mu Dong smiled and nodded promptly: ”The lord is insightful, I am impressed, although this isn’t from Dajue Temple but a military tent developed by our Great Xia!”

Dajue Temple’s black military tents are quite remarkable. Firstly, they are large enough to accommodate thousands of soldiers; secondly, they are lightweight, easy to carry with the army; lastly, they are robust, with excellent sealing and light-blocking properties. Even firelight cannot penetrate from inside, making it impossible to see what’s inside from the outside, a perfect tool for warfare.

Last year, Dajue Temple released a total of two hundred black military tents. During the final battle at Bashang, Xiang Liang and Bai Shanqiu were clever enough to steal fifteen tents amidst the chaos, while the remaining hundred were divided among the Six Towns.

Unexpectedly, Mu Dong managed to develop them as well.

”Next is the fourth one...”

The fourth person also carried a wooden box, and upon Mu Dong’s signal, opened it immediately.

The box contained a gleaming black iron armor.

The helmet, shoulder guards, front and back guards, knee protection, upper and lower arm guards... Xia Hong inspected each part of the iron armor, finally focusing his gaze on the main body protecting the chest and back, the most crucial areas, and his expression slightly brightened.

”Is this main armor made from the Jiao scales I brought back?”

Mu Dong nodded emphatically, his voice filled with excitement: ”The lord should be aware that currently, the main battle iron armors of the Nine Towns are all Thousand Forged level. The reason is that armor, unlike weapons, has too many components, complicating the casting process. Even with multiple people working together, it takes half a day to make a set of ordinary Thousand Forged Iron Armor. In Great Xia, due to the need to incorporate Thunder Kui’s Skull, the process is even more complex, naturally taking longer, about a day.

The defensive capacity of Jiao Long scales is known to the lord, it can withstand Xianyang level attacks, let alone Cold Resistance level. Its formidable defense is one thing, but its formidable plasticity is another; I molded it into the main armor shape at the Artifact Refining Pavilion by alternately heating and forging for just five days.

The main armor is the largest component in terms of material consumption and significance among the parts of war armor. Having Jiao Long scales as the main armor significantly reduces casting difficulty. The rest of this armor is made of Ten Thousand Forged Iron, complemented by the Jiao Long scale main armor. I dare say, it cannot be breached by any Cold Resistance level, or even by moderate attacks from Xianyang level experts targeting the main armor!”

They even have a name for it, Jiao Scale Armor!

After Mu Dong’s introduction, Xia Hong’s expression also brightened slightly.

Great Xia has long had the capability to forge Ten Thousand Forged Iron Armor!

But as Mu Dong just explained, even with many hands, only one set of Thousand Forged Lei Kui Golden Armor can be crafted per day, amounting to a maximum of 360 sets annually. That’s why Great Xia has only equipped the Cloud Jiao and Long Wu armies with Thousand Forged Lei Kui Golden Armor thus far.

The Ten Thousand Forged Armor is no different.

Last year, Mu Dong personally led craftsmen to forge Ten Thousand Forged Iron Armor. He calculated that each set took at least five days, but the Artifact Refining Pavilion’s daily casting tasks were numerous, and it wasn’t feasible to allocate all craftsmen to war armor production.
