Endless Winter: My Camp Upgrades Infinitely

Chapter 1476 - 467: Bountiful Harvest and Perfected Bones, Unexpected Delight, Rice and a Turnaround Opportunity

”Sir, Zhu’er will help you retrieve the bundle.”

As Xia Hong opened his eyes, the two girls immediately noticed.

Seeing him staring at the bag upon opening his eyes, the girl on the left, Zhu’er, who seems to be the older sister and evidently more astute, immediately walked over to help Xia Hong with it.

”Hmm...”

But as she reached out, the scene instantly became awkward.

The yellow bundle, which didn’t look big, she tried with all her might more than a dozen times until her face turned red, yet she couldn’t move it at all. Realizing that she couldn’t lift it alone, she instinctively turned to call the other girl for help.

”Hahaha, don’t waste your effort, just pass the strap to me...”

Xia Hong was amused by the girl’s actions, laughed heartily before hooking his finger around the strap she handed over, then gave it a gentle pull.

The yellow bundle, heavier than Mount Tai, was effortlessly pulled to the edge of the bathtub. Zhu’er, who had been lifting it for half the day, saw this scene, her pupils instantly widened, and she looked at Xia Hong with admiration in her eyes.

This kind of gaze, Xia Hong had seen many times before, naturally, he didn’t take it to heart. He slowly opened the bundle, carefully laying out the items inside one by one.

The first things he pulled out were the bodies of six Cold Beasts, each with distinct forms.

”Three-headed Wolf Emperor, Green-eyed Fire Suanni, Blood Jade Xuan Jiao, Six-tailed Divine Fire Fox, Eight-armed Mountain-shaking Demon Elephant, Profound Water Cyan Jade Toad. Two Fire elements, two Wood elements, one Water Walker, one Earth Walker, totaling six single-path Five Luminaries Realm Beast Emperors.”

The effects of the Bone Burning Pill lasted a total of three days, and Xia Hong naturally wanted to maximize its usage. Merely slaying the Wolf Emperor and Green-eyed Fire Suanni wasn’t enough.

He spent half a day slaying the Fire Suanni first, and over the subsequent two days, he slew four more single-path Beast Emperors. When he finally slew the Profound Water Cyan Jade Toad, he noticed the prying of the Red Gold Demon Tiger and acted immediately.

”It’s a pity Chu Tianxu intervened halfway; if he hadn’t, I might have really had the chance to slay that Red Gold Demon Tiger, the Golden Fire Dual-Path Beast Emperor...”

While Xia Hong felt regretful, he was also quite astonished by the intelligence of Emperor-level Cold Beasts.

That Demon Tiger deliberately fled towards Chu Tianxu at the last moment to involve outsiders and break the stalemate; how could Xia Hong not see through such calculations?

The issue was, he didn’t dare to take the risk based on Chu Tianxu’s character.

Although Chu Tianxu spoke benevolently, if they truly joined forces to slay the Demon Tiger, who knows what he might do in the end? Furthermore, the effective duration of the Bone Burning Pill was already running low.

”Fortunate if attained, destiny if not, I’ll stop dwelling on it!”

Xia Hong exhaled gently, set aside unnecessary thoughts, and pulled out a dagger from the Yellow Mustard Bag, starting with the Three-headed Wolf Emperor.

Cold Beasts indeed have internal organs, and Xia Hong, having hunted so many, naturally was adept at the task, pinpointing the liver of the Wolf Emperor and directly slicing it open.

As the skin and flesh were cut open, a round pearl about three centimeters in diameter emitting a greenish-blue glow emerged. Xia Hong reached in and took the pearl, holding it in his hand, feeling the powerful energy it radiated filled his eyes with delight.

”This is the Wood Element Tribulation Qi Pearl. Using silver as a catalyst can extract the massive amount of Tribulation Qi contained within the pearl, and then use it to impact the War Body Golden Body, forcing the Golden Body to generate corresponding internal organs.

The book stated that collecting all Five Elements Tribulation Qi Pearls allows for one breakthrough attempt, but the difficulty is immense, and the higher the aptitude, the less likely success...”

This contradiction of higher aptitude leading to lower success clearly seemed paradoxical!

Xia Hong furrowed his brows deep in thought, meanwhile not forgetting to extract Tribulation Qi Pearls from the remaining five Beast Emperors. Soon, the Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth, totaling six Tribulation Qi Pearls were displayed before him.

”The higher the aptitude, the greater the power increase after breaking into the Tribulation Body Realm. According to the law of energy conservation, naturally, more Tribulation Qi is required for breakthroughs, logically increasing the number of attempts needed. The book’s intention should be expressing this!”

Gazing at the six Tribulation Qi Pearls in front of him, Xia Hong chuckled and shook his head, secretly thinking, ”Already at Mid-stage Yang Manifestation, I’m just one pearl shy of having enough for the first Golden Body breakthrough which requires the Five Elements Tribulation Qi Pearls. That Red Gold Demon Tiger’s escape seems fated; one should not be too greedy!”

After retrieving the six Tribulation Qi Pearls, Xia Hong focused, next slicing open heads of six Beast Emperors and extracting six fist-sized blood jade-like blocks, feeling a sudden excitement.

”As expected, the blood-colored miasma even affected the Beast Emperors. Ordinary Cold Beasts have Blood Jade Pearls, Beast Kings have Blood Jade Crystals, and those in Beast Emperor’s heads should be named Blood Jade Marrow.”

Naming was secondary, but the key point was that Blood Jade Pearls can compensate for skin and flesh deficiencies, Blood Jade Crystals can mend bone flaws, then what about this Blood Jade Marrow?

Xia Hong pinched the Blood Jade Marrow, sensing its energy strength far surpassing the previous two, promptly abandoning the thought of direct consumption.

”This definitely should not be consumed recklessly. I’ll first take it back to Xia City to get it evaluated at the Alchemy Pavilion, its use must vastly exceed the prior two!”

Apparently thinking of something, Xia Hong immediately unfolded the Yellow Mustard Bag.

The Yellow Mustard Bag was a compressed Sumeru Space, once the bundle was fully open, the items he randomly stuffed inside poured out in vivid colors, dazzling and illuminating the entire room.

The two girls, who had been washing him, were already dumbfounded upon seeing the six Beast Emperors earlier, and now witnessing a pile of colorful treasures spilling out from the small Yellow Mustard Bag, their eyes instantly went wide.
