Endless Winter: My Camp Upgrades Infinitely

Chapter 1456 - 463: Green-eyed Fire Suanni, Battle Royale and Advancement, Furious Counterattack, Trial Changes

Bang!

Fifteen kilometers deep within the Blood Miasma Plain, beneath a blood-red mountain approximately four to five hundred meters high, a black shadow suddenly dove down from mid-air, using its body to force open a hole in the mountain wall. After quickly slipping inside, it even swung a sword to collapse the snow on the mountain, completely burying the entrance.

”Cough cough cough...”

Inside the dark cave, Xia Hong coughed continuously a dozen times, spitting out five or six mouthfuls of fresh blood before his breath gradually stabilized.

His face was deathly pale, and he hurriedly took out a golden round pill from his Yellow Mustard Bag, swallowing it quickly. He then swiftly activated the Enlightenment Lotus Platform, sitting cross-legged alone, and started healing with closed eyes.

”What on earth was that thing!”

While healing, Xia Hong didn’t relax his vigilance, keeping his mind focused on the outside of the cave. It took dozens of breaths before he sensed no signs of anything approaching outside, allowing himself to slightly relax, with both apprehension and intense anger in his eyes.

”Strength of a Hundred Jun, excluding Yin Yang Mirror techniques which it can’t replicate, the Shattered Star Sword, martial arts, everything else just like mine, Solidified Fire Oil, Yellow Candle have no effect on it. How did that monster achieve this...”

Xia Hong looked at the more than twenty wounds on his body, recalling the more than hour-long chase by the counterfeit Xia Hong and Fan Qinghu’s five men, still filled with dread.

At the critical moment, he had no choice but to escape deeper into the southern side of the Blood Miasma Plain, though he wasn’t mindlessly charging ahead.

Compared to the five counterfeits, the deeper part of the Blood Miasma Plain was obviously more dangerous. If he recklessly charged in, he would probably end up in a worse situation.

Therefore, Xia Hong only slightly shifted southward, trying to ensure safety while maneuvering with the five fake Xia Hongs for more than an hour.

The result of maneuvering was that the five chased him repeatedly, and the twenty-odd wounds on his body came from that.

While maneuvering, he constantly adjusted towards the south. As the maneuvering with the five went on longer, he was inevitably forced deeper into the Blood Miasma Plain.

”Are they afraid to chase me further, or have they already achieved their goal?”

While Xia Hong closed his eyes focusing on recovering, his perception outside the cave didn’t relax for a moment, muttering under his breath with an unchanged solemn expression.

As his injuries rapidly started to heal, his expression slowly relaxed a bit.

The Holy Vein Pill is currently the most precious sixth-level elixir in Great Xia. Even if one’s body meridians are completely severed, one pill can restore them as before. Strictly speaking, its effect far surpasses mere healing, belonging to divine-grade elixirs used for saving lives or restoring cultivation to someone incapacitated.

Currently, the production across Great Xia is scarce; each pill is extremely precious. Xia Hong only brought 10 pills on this trip, and last year when injured by the Black Wind General on the Bone-Eroding Path, he used only one.

This time, he had already taken one pill when being chased, and another upon entering the cave, totaling two pills.

The Enlightenment Lotus Platform’s effect of five times cultivation enhancement allowed his healing efficiency to far exceed ordinary people. Though less than a hundred breaths had passed since entering the cave, his injuries had already healed seventy to eighty percent.

”I know nothing about the Miasma Area within, I can’t just move around recklessly any longer...”

Xia Hong opened his eyes, his expression remaining somber despite the calm occurring outside the cave as per his perception.

Having explored unfamiliar areas before, even if he was dangerously chased by the five just now, he remembered the general locations and times.

”Since entering the plain till now, it’s been less than three hours; I should be around 15 kilometers deep in the Miasma Area, southwest of Cai Qiu’s 21st district over 50 kilometers—by that reasoning, Chen Cang isn’t far!”

Within the Miasma Area, looking up sees no sky, only blood-red color with no division between day and night, only able to rely on sensing time passing. The chase moments were extremely perilous; remembering this much was due to exploring experience accumulated in earlier years, else anyone else would’ve long gotten disoriented.

”Whichever direction has dangers now, no rush, huh...”

Buzz buzz...

After contemplating silently for a moment, Xia Hong suddenly heard a faint sound from within his body, his expression slightly stunned, eyes instantly showing excitement.

”It’s the three Blood Jade Pearls I had consumed just now...”

The flesh beneath the skin membrane was quickly disintegrating and reorganizing!

The effect of those three Blood Jade Pearls was potent; Xia Hong already sensed it upon consumption, yet back then he couldn’t stop to cultivate, allowing them to advance on their own.

But now, the already strong effect has amplified severalfold.

No, it must be dozens of times!

Seeing himself sitting cross-legged on the Enlightenment Lotus Platform, Xia Hong instantly realized, expressing joy along with a hint of doubt.

”No, no, the Enlightenment Lotus Platform only has five times the cultivation enhancement; this Blood Jade Pearl’s effect amplification far exceeds five times, something else must be causing this...”

Pondering deeply for over a dozen breaths without any conclusion, Xia Hong decisively pushed this confusion aside, swiftly activating the Blood Jade Pearl’s energy to assist with the reorganization of flesh throughout his body.

The energy of the three Blood Jade Pearls was fully absorbed in less than twenty breaths, leaving Xia Hong abruptly shocked with a face full of surprise.

”10 Zong, improved by 0.1 Jin of strength, I didn’t feel wrong, right?”
