Endless Winter: My Camp Upgrades Infinitely

Chapter 1807: Chapter 577: Gold News, Shocking Rumors and Panic, Corpse Demon Army_3

The girl in green hesitated for a long time. As the commotion inside grew louder and louder, she gritted her teeth and finally made up her mind, drew the Longsword at her waist, and charged straight in.

Whoosh…

However, before she rushed in more than ten meters, a fierce blast of air surged toward her. Her body jolted to a halt, and when she looked up she saw a white figure flying toward her. The worry on her face vanished at once, replaced by sheer delight.

“Commandery Princess, you’re all right—that’s great, that’s great, wuu wuu wuu…”

Seeing her own Commandery Princess walk out safe and sound, the girl in green, who had been worried for half the day, couldn’t help bursting into tears of joy.

“Qing’er, crying again. I told you to wait obediently outside for me—couldn’t you just wait? What are you fussing for? If something really happened to me in there, what good would you coming in do? Wouldn’t you just be throwing your life away?”

The white‑clothed girl who flew out from deep within the cave was speaking, but her hands were moving fast. Her right hand directly hooked the girl in green up, and her figure flashed—almost in an instant she had flown out of the cave.

Though it was night, the girl’s white garments shone brilliantly. Her beautiful eyes were bright and full of spirit, her long black hair was bound behind her head with a green jade ribbon. In her left hand she gripped a Tianqing‑colored Longsword, her sleeves half rolled, revealing half of a jade‑like arm, skin like congealed cream laid bare.

Especially at this moment, though her face still carried a trace of feigned anger, between her brows there flowed a gentle, pity‑for‑the‑world softness, like a transcendent immortal untouched by dust, with not a trace of mortal air to be found upon her.

“Commandery Princess, you make it sound easy. Qing’er was so anxious waiting for you outside! We snuck out this time to begin with—Lord Landgrave and the Prefectural Governor must both be worried sick by now. If anything else happens to you, Qing’er won’t even be able to return to Wei Bo. Next time, no matter where you go, Qing’er is definitely going with you!”

Qing’er puffed out her cheeks, clearly very angry at her Commandery Princess’s earlier behavior. After declaring this in a resolute tone, she didn’t forget to add, “Lord Landgrave said before that Wei Bo’s great cause rests entirely on Commandery Princess alone. If anything goes wrong, Qing’er will become a sinner to the Feudal Towns. Commandery Princess, you absolutely mustn’t act recklessly again!”

“Haha…”

Seeing Qing’er’s cute, naive little face now putting on such an old‑fashioned air, the woman in white immediately burst into laughter, couldn’t help stretching out a hand to pinch her cheeks, and said softly, “You’ve only just broken through to Xianyang, even if something really did go wrong with me, they wouldn’t blame a little girl like you. Chen Cang and Cai Qiu are at war right now. Uncle Zu and County Father only just took Cai Qianshan back to Wei Bo Mansion, so they didn’t have time to bother with us. Don’t worry.”

Qing’er slapped away the woman in white’s hand in mock reproach, and asked in puzzlement, “Cai Qiu is being beaten back step by step by Chen Cang—what is Cai Qianshan going to our Wei Bo Mansion for at a time like this?”

“He was almost killed by Chu Longteng; his injuries are severe. Cai Qiu’s Tribulation Body Realm experts have all been dragged off by Chen Cang, and Uncle Zu faintly sensed a Deceitful Object spying on him. It’s not safe for Cai Qianshan to remain in Caiqiu Mansion—only our Wei Bo Mansion can truly guarantee his safety.”

Qing’er nodded, then suddenly thought of something and asked, “Right, Commandery Princess, in the cave just now, were you fighting a Deceitful Monster?”

Though the two had already escaped the cave at this moment, she remembered very clearly that just before the Commandery Princess escaped, there had been that roar from within. That roar was low and repressed, and extremely bestial—it clearly wasn’t something a human could make.

Hearing her question, the woman in white’s expression immediately turned grave. She spoke in a deep voice: “Corpse Demons… the Deceitful Monsters of the Blood Miasma Plain actually left a Corpse Demon army inside the cave. I only caught a rough glimpse just now—their numbers are conservatively estimated at over thirty thousand.”

“Corpse Demons, thirty thousand, gulp…”

The Maid Qing’er swallowed hard at these words, her face instantly turning deathly pale.

Though the Blood Miasma Plain only borders the two Vassals of Chen Cang and Cai Qiu, because it produces Blood Cold Beasts, and because in recent years the Blood Jade Pearl has become known to more and more people, Wei Bo has also dispatched large numbers of its disciples to take part in trials on the Blood Miasma Plain. So Wei Bo’s understanding of this place is by no means shallow.

According to what she knew, there are currently two known kinds of Corpse Demons on the Blood Miasma Plain: Iron Bone and Copper Bone. Iron Bone Corpse Demons have strength between 5 and 15 juns, while Copper Bone are between 20 and 100 juns.

Thirty thousand Corpse Demons—that’s thirty thousand Xianyang Level experts. What kind of concept is that?

The total number of Xianyang Level cultivators across all Four Vassals of the Moao River is less than ten thousand. And crucially, aptitude determines that the vast majority have strength below 20 juns.

What’s even more deadly is that, among the Corpse Demon types currently identified, there are only these two—Iron Bone and Copper Bone. But who knows if there are higher levels? After all, according to the Ice Abyss material ranking, after iron and copper comes silver.

By extrapolating from the strength of the former two, a Silver Bone Level Corpse Demon would, at bare minimum, possess Tribulation Body Realm strength—and its upper limit would be even more terrifying.

“We have to hurry back and report to Lord Landgrave! We can’t let Chen Cang and Cai Qiu keep fighting. The Four Vassals must join hands, and that Camp called Great Xia in the Southern Slope Territory has to contribute too—otherwise all humans of the Moao River are going to be wiped out…”

“How could it be that simple?”

The woman in white’s gaze darkened as she shook her head. “Over these years Chu Longteng has schemed tirelessly to swallow the Three Vassals. He didn’t hesitate to launch reforms in order to integrate the Moao River. Unless we can set these thirty thousand Corpse Demons right before his eyes, how could he possibly give up such an opportunity so easily?”

“But hasn’t Commandery Princess already discovered them? Just tell Chu Longteng about the cave; let him come and see for himself, wouldn’t that do it?”

“Look carefully.”

Qing’er, not understanding her meaning, followed the direction the Commandery Princess indicated—and her expression froze at once.

The cave on the western side was actually gone at this moment. Not only was there nothing left but a bare rock wall, that rock wall even had a layer of hard ice formed upon it. It was as if the cave just now had been nothing but an illusion.

Qing’er quickly twisted her head to ask in alarm, “Was it deliberately concealed by Deceitful Monsters?”

The woman in white had already taken a scarlet bead from her bosom. After patrolling around near the rock wall and seeing the bead show no reaction whatsoever, she shook her head. “This cave was originally shrouded by Blood Miasma. I only discovered it by accident using the Boundary‑breaking Pearl. Inside there was a Calamity Level Deceitful Monster clad in golden armor guarding it. It didn’t chase out just now precisely because it didn’t want the Corpse Demon army to appear prematurely. I suspect either this batch of Corpse Demons hasn’t fully taken shape yet, or they’re still waiting for something else…”

Either way, for the Four Vassals of the Moao River, it’s a catastrophe that leaves no room for survival!

The woman in white’s expression grew incomparably heavy, her pupils filled with worry.

Though the Four Vassals of the Moao River have their frictions, in the end they are all humans. Once this Corpse Demon army moves out, among the hundreds of millions of living beings in the Four Vassals, who could remain unscathed?

“Commandery Princess, for something this grave we should hurry back and report to Lord Landgrave first, right? Once this Corpse Demon army is deployed, even all Four Vassals together won’t be able to contend with it. Whether Chen Cang believes us or not, we have to be prepared.”

“All right!”

The woman in white did not refute her Maid, and directly nodded in agreement. But very soon she thought of something and changed her words. “Qing’er, you go back to the Goverment first and report. I still have to go to the Southern Slope Territory once—take a look at that Bloody Demon Dragon slumbering within Great Xia Territory. According to Cai Qiu’s intelligence, that Demon Dragon is either a Heavenly Phenomenon Realm Fierce Beast or a Calamity Level Demon Monster. Since we finally came all the way here, I might as well confirm it.”

“Commandery Princess, you’re going to act alone again—no, I’m going too!”

“Be good, Qing’er.”

“No, absolutely not. I must stay by Commandery Princess’s side.”

“This… all right then…”

The woman in white looked at Qing’er’s resolute face, her own expression filled with helplessness, seeming she could only choose to compromise. But there was clearly a hint of slyness hidden deep in her eyes. As soon as the words left her mouth, her figure vanished directly, leaving only an afterimage in place—and a final instruction.

“Qing’er, you head back first. Don’t worry. Once you’re back at the Goverment, just watch over my Longevity Lamp. I’ll be back very soon.”

“Commandery Princess, Commandery Princess, Li Baobao, come back, come back…”

Seeing the Commandery Princess leave her behind, Qing’er’s pretty face flushed scarlet with anger. She stomped her little feet on the spot, so anxious she even called out the Commandery Princess’s name directly. But even so, the woman in white did not return.
