Endless Winter: My Camp Upgrades Infinitely

Chapter 752: Chapter 305: Twists and Turns—Severed Arms, Heads, and a Forced Retreat

Xia Chuan initially appealed pitiably; when he mentioned that the Xia people were not worthless, he spoke with a hint of resentment; finally, his tone was full of helplessness and compromise as he presented himself as a spokesperson. His speech was full of emotion and sincerity, making anyone feel that he was sincerely trying to persuade.

After saying these words, Xia Chuan paused, his expression stern, and continued: “Deceitful Monsters are humanity’s greatest enemy, Leader Li should know this well. Just tonight in Long Mountain, they killed so many of us; there is absolutely no possibility of ending the war or negotiating peace between our two factions in the future. Even so, I only wish to confront Long Mountain honorably on the battlefield. In the end, regardless of who wins, it’s just a matter of several ten thousand people changing their names and continuing their lives.

However, the Dewdrop Plague that just occurred, Leader Li also witnessed it. The White Dew Gu couldn’t resist making a move. Now, there are at least three thousand corpses in the main area. Once a fire breaks out, Solidified Fire Oil won’t be able to suppress it; only the Holy Tripod left by my Leader can handle it. But if the fight continues, giving the White Dew Gu an opportunity, all of us will die here…”

“There is a way!”

“I am eager to hear Leader Li’s brilliant insight.”

Xia Chuan was slightly taken aback but immediately looked at Li Xuanling with hope.

“Hand over this Holy Tripod you mentioned to us at Long Mountain, and additionally, have all the Xia Army in the main building surrender their weapons. I can assure you that no one will be killed, as long as everything remains fine at Long Mountain. Xia Hong peacefully leads his people out of Longyou, both our factions will not cross each other’s boundaries in the future; we will remain undisturbed.”

Upon hearing the first sentence, Xia Chuan’s pupils slightly contracted, yet he patiently listened to Li Xuanling finish speaking. In the end, his face was full of hesitation and struggle, as if he was truly contemplating Li Xuanling’s proposal.

“This… the Holy Tripod, surrendering, these are significant matters that I have no authority over. If Leader Li trusts me, I could send someone to Long Mountain to find my Leader and let them decide, what do you think?”

“You’re playing me!”

Roar…

Earlier, there wasn’t much, but upon hearing the last sentence, if Li Xuanling still didn’t react, it would be foolish. Just as her voice fell, an extremely excited Cold Beast’s roar was heard from overhead.

“An Advanced Snow Mane, how is it possible?!”

Li Xuanling’s expression changed suddenly. She quickly looked up at the iron wall above the main area with her rich hunting experience, she immediately identified the roar as coming from an Advanced Snow Mane.

Xia Chuan was momentarily stunned, then quickly reacted, pulling Chen Yingyuan as he turned and retreated towards the direction of the main building. However, before they could successfully retreat, a streak of blood light suddenly shot up from the ground, piercing through his waist directly.

Thud!

Xia Chuan was already severely injured, and the blood light pierced his waist, unable to evade, sending him flying backward fifty to sixty meters. If Chen Yingyuan hadn’t swiftly run behind to catch him, he would have flown beside Li Xuanling.

Chi chi chi chi…

From the ground where the red light had just shot out, a faint squeaking sound suddenly rang out, followed by two sharp and long fangs suddenly breaking through the ground.

It’s worth knowing, the entire main area of the Beehive is surrounded by iron walls; for something to penetrate the ground, it means the owner of the fangs had drilled through the iron wall layer over ten meters thick underground.

Rodents that can gnaw through iron walls are nothing unusual.

The key is, they hadn’t heard any noise during the lengthy conversation just now.

That’s the most terrifying part!

Xia Chuan, Chen Yingyuan, and Li Xuanling on the opposite side, all three had serious expressions staring at the pair of fangs on the ground, not daring to blink.

Rustle rustle rustle…

A golden rodent head about a dozen centimeters wide emerged from the ground, its two bean-sized blood-red eyes spinning a few times, sweeping glance at the three on either side, before its gaze turned directly towards the direction of the main building.

Its eyes were filled with desire and greed, clearly, something within the main building was attracting it strongly.

Roar… roar… roar…

Meanwhile, more and more Cold Beasts roars came from the top of the main area.

This time, not only Xia Chuan and Chen Yingyuan’s expressions changed, but also Li Xuanling’s face on the opposite side did.

“This is bad, Frost Wolves, Snow Manes, and Demon Sheep all have come down the tunnels!”

Xia Chuan at this moment was full of horror.

He had Yue Feng ignite the Holy Tripod firstly to suppress the Dewdrop Plague, and secondly, to dispel the white mist created by the White Dew Gu on the ground and disperse the Cold Beasts.

He knew well that the Holy Tripod would attract Cold Beasts.

But he didn’t anticipate the attraction would be this strong.

Rodents naturally live underground, skilled at digging, so being attracted isn’t surprising, but the other Cold Beasts weren’t supposed to live underground, yet they followed the tunnels down.

Over a hundred meters below ground, these Advanced Cold Beasts could sense it.

These are Advanced Cold Beasts, just one or two is enough to handle.

Listening to the commotion from the top, there are probably more than ten.

The Advanced Cold Beasts are all small in size; the main area’s barriers have just been broken open by the rodents into many holes, each with a diameter of about one meter, more than enough for them to fit through.

Moreover, as long as the Holy Tripod remains burning, all surrounding Cold Beasts will be drawn in, so the longer it burns, the more there will be.

If they all come in, everyone will be doomed.

The Holy Tripod must be extinguished quickly.

No, there’s another way!

Suddenly, an idea flashed through Xia Chuan’s mind. He looked back at the Longyou Army Camp behind Li Xuanling, with a cold glint in his eyes.
