Endless Winter: My Camp Upgrades Infinitely

Chapter 838: Chapter 327: Beast Tide Showdown, the Wolf King’s Gambit, and White Dew Gu’s Last Stand

Whoosh......

A sudden whirling wind abruptly interrupted Xia Hong’s train of thought.

The fierce wind was blowing from behind the hollow, and before Xia Hong could turn his head, he heard exclamations coming from the army stationed behind the hollow.

”Something’s wrong!”

”Why is the wind suddenly so strong?”

”We can’t hold on, the iron arrows are blown off course.”

”This wind specifically targets the army.”

”No, there’s cold in this wind, my bow is forming icicles.”

”My iron armor is also forming icicles.”

......

On the right side of the army, behind the group of advanced Frost Wolves, a sudden fierce white wind began to whirl.

Normal air is colorless, but the white seen by everyone clearly indicated that the whirlwind contained extreme cold.

”Everyone, retreat with me to the direction of the army, and don’t panic!”

Xia Hong’s shout made all present with Cold Resistance Level faces tense. Without asking why, they abandoned the Cold Beasts they were entangled with and turned to sprint towards the army behind the hollow.

”What about these advanced Cold Beasts?”

”Their target is the Cold Ruins Tripod, not the army!”

”Where did this cold wind come from?”

”Something strange, retreat with the Lord first!”

......

Unlike others, Xia Hong’s left eye was flickering with a faint light, and his gaze was fixed intently on the mid-air right behind that group of Frost Wolves, his expression extremely grave.

”Is that a....... Beast King?”

Others couldn’t see clearly, but he had the Eye of Truth. Behind those hundreds of advanced Frost Wolves, about fifty meters above the ground, clearly floated a miniature Frost Wolf a bit over a meter long.

The Frost Wolf was covered in a layer of sleek silver-white fur, with spikes around its neck shining with a bright silver glow. Unlike the jade-green pupils of ordinary advanced Cold Beasts, its pupils were like human eyes, distinctly black and white.

Its blood-red mouth was opened wide, spewing out white frost.

The white frost was, unexpectedly, the source of the cold wind.

Whoosh...whoosh......

The fierce wind ravaged for over ten breaths, just as the Cold Resistance Level group retreated to the army’s position, soldiers in the front rows began to tumble backward, flying out.

With the Cold Ruins Tripod increasing temperature, the cold within the wind was not to be feared, at most causing the soldiers’ war armor and weapons to form slight icicles. The problem was the strength of the airflow, at least half to a whole mane strong, and the cultivation limit of the army’s Earth-digging Realm soldiers couldn’t withstand it.

”Abandon bows, ready for close combat!”

”Abandon bows, ready for close combat!”

Xia Chuan and Yuwen Dao shouted simultaneously. At this moment, soldiers couldn’t hold the bows steady in their hands. Even if the rear managed to shoot arrows, the raging airflow caused the iron arrows to lose accuracy completely, with some iron arrows even being blown back to injure their own men.

So, abandoning bows to engage in close combat with Cold Beasts was the only choice!

Upon hearing their respective commanders’ orders, soldiers from both armies uniformly dropped their strong bows, drew their weapons, and like before, soldiers from six camps focused on the Snow Mane group behind, while the reconnaissance camp and three other camps continued to watch over the more than a hundred advanced Frost Wolves on the right side.

”Xuanling, you take all the Cold Resistance Level to station near the Iron Wheel Car, don’t go out, quickly eliminate any cold beasts rushing into the army formation.”

”Understood!”

After months of interaction, Li Xuanling was no longer as rebellious as before. Realizing the urgency, she swiftly responded to Xia Hong and led over two hundred Cold Resistance Level soldiers near the Iron Wheel Car.

”What’s loaded on the Iron Wheel Car is his last resort!”

By now, Li Xuanling had seen some signs. Although the Iron Wheel Car was still covered by black beast tent cloth, obscuring the contents, she could assert it was Xia Hong’s backup plan for today.

Otherwise, at this cusp, why would Xia Hong have her guarding here with over two hundred Cold Resistance Level soldiers?

”Lord, those advanced Cold Beasts are quickly approaching the vicinity of the Cold Ruins Tripod, and the ten Thunder Kui can’t hold them off!”

Chen Yingyuan, still having leisure time to glance back at the hollow, saw a dozen advanced Cold Beasts already bypassing the golden armored Thunder Kui transformed from the Cold Beast Stakes, about to reach near the Cold Ruins Tripod, immediately shouted to alert Xia Hong.

”No need, wait a bit, continue to hold off here!”

Xia Hong turned to look at the Cold Ruins Tripod, a flash of astonishment crossing his eyes. Yet, staring at the distant Frost Wolf King hovering in mid-air, he gritted his teeth and gestured for everyone to continue guarding the center of the army.

The Cold Ruins Tripod might be a system item indeed, yet without contact, he couldn’t retrieve it, and though it wasn’t incredibly heavy, should these advanced Cold Beasts get close, there was a significant chance they’d steal it.

This was the greatest Divine Artifact for his survival in the Ice Abyss; others might be anxious, but none could compare to Xia Hong, the owner of the Cold Ruins Tripod.

”Roar......”

A rapid Long-tailed Rodent unexpectedly broke through the surface, poking its head in front of the Cold Ruins Tripod. Looking at the Close-range Cold Ruins Tripod, those jade-green pupils of the Rodent gleamed with greed, reaching its claws out to grasp the Cold Ruins Tripod, dragging it toward itself.

”It’s over!”

”The Holy Tripod has been stolen.”

”Lord...”

......

Xia Chuan, Yuan Cheng, and other old soldiers from Great Xia, witnessing the Rodent’s actions, nearly couldn’t contain themselves from rushing toward the hollow side. The Holy Tripod had accompanied Great Xia’s rise until now, and its significance was no less than to Xia Hong.

But with Xia Hong’s orders, they held back!

Whoosh......

Seeing the Holy Tripod about to get dragged underground by the Rodent, unexpectedly, the wind blowing towards the army suddenly stopped.
