Endless Winter: My Camp Infinite Upgrades

Chapter 163 It’s getting dark, it’s time to come

Second floor corridor.

A frost wolf had its limbs entangled in white silk threads, and its body was turned upside down with its belly facing upwards, and it was trying to flip over with its teeth and claws bared.

Pfft…………

A big knife suddenly came from the side, and the Frost Wolf's abdomen was instantly cut in two. The dark green blood burst out instantly, and the intestines and internal organs flowed all over the ground.

After Xia Chuan killed the enemy with one blow, the bulging veins on his hands gradually calmed down. He drew out his sword and quickly turned his head to look at the north aisle.

Yuan Cheng, Yue Feng, Zou Yuankai and more than ten people were divided into three groups, each facing a Frost Wolf. All three groups were at ease. Yue Feng's side had even forced the Frost Wolf into a corner and was about to kill it.

"Yue Feng, take some people to block the cave. Leave this frost wolf to me!"

Xia Chuan leaped forward at full speed, slashed at the Frost Wolf with his sword, took over the battlefield, and shouted orders to Yue Feng and the other three.

"Sir, we can't stop them anymore. More than a dozen of them have already come up!"

Yue Feng was about to lead his men to rush to the end of the corridor when Xu Ning's reminder came from not far away.

Xia Chuan swept the Frost Wolf away with his sword, turned his head and took a glance, his heart suddenly turned cold.

The two frost wolves that climbed up first had already been killed by him and the others. The four frost wolves they were dealing with now were the second wave that climbed up.

Four frost wolves are more than enough to deal with a dozen Digging Realm warriors.

But the problem is that these four frost wolves have caused them to miss the best opportunity to block the hole.

More than a dozen frost wolves had already rushed into the corridor.

At the entrance of the cave at the end of the corridor, frost wolves kept drilling in.

The moment those frost wolves poked their heads in, their eyes quickly focused on the stove on the third floor, their pupils filled with excitement and madness.

"Roar…………"

The Frostwolves that hadn't yet fully entered were already so crazy; not to mention the reactions of those that had already entered the aisle and the one that was currently fighting him.

Whoosh…whoosh…whoosh…

If Xu Ning and a few others hadn't been shooting arrows crazily to suppress the frost wolves, the frost wolves in the aisle would have already rushed into the main hall.

In the main hall on the second floor, all the women and children in the camp gathered.

"Take all the children to the third floor!"

Finally getting rid of the frost wolf in his hand, Xia Chuan drew out his big knife, casually wiped the green blood off his face, turned around and spoke urgently to the middle of the main hall.

"Yes, my lord!"

Lin Wan, Shi Lu, and other women who were responsible for taking care of the children immediately took action after hearing the sound.

"Children, hurry upstairs, quickly..."

"it is good!"

In the Ice Abyss world, the average lifespan of the weak camps is only in their early forties, and there are no old people. Daxia is no exception.

There are 1088 people in Daxia, minus sixty-seven diggers and more than five hundred loggers, and the remaining four hundred or so children are mostly under the age of fifteen.

There are also differences among those under fifteen years old. The older children have already started practicing, and even if they have not broken through the Digging Earth Realm, most of them have a strength of three to four thousand kilograms. The youngest are still babies and need to be held in someone's arms.

It would have been normal for these children, who had never been out, to be frightened by such a large-scale invasion of cold beasts. But in fact, except for a few babies crying, none of the children made any sound.

The older children even helped hold the babies in their arms. Even the five or six-year-old children just pursed their lips and followed the team up the stairs quickly without saying a word. Everything was in order and Lin Wan and Shi Lu didn't need to worry at all.

When they saw the ferocious beasts, they were afraid. Some children, such as Luo An and Zouping, had their fathers fighting with the beasts on the second floor. Besides fear, they also had concerns for their fathers. Some women, who were holding babies, were also worried about their husbands.

Although there were a myriad of emotions in their eyes, they knew they could not help much. The only thing they could do was to follow the instructions of Xia Chuan and others and not cause trouble for others.

Therefore, no matter how scared or panicked they were in their hearts, they just gritted their teeth and did not make any sound, for fear of disturbing those who were fighting the cold beasts.

"Sir, there are more and more cold beasts in the wooden house. There should be quite a few that have broken into the compartments. They are all rushing towards the stove. We can't stop them. If we don't put out the fire, it will be too late. I have already built a regular bonfire with wood on the third floor. The temperature is not a problem!"

Xia Chuan was in the north aisle trying to stop a frost wolf that was charging towards the main hall. When he heard Shi Ping's shout at the stairs, a struggle suddenly appeared in his eyes.

Shi Ping's voice was very loud. All the Digging Realm who were blocking the Frost Beasts in the four aisles on the second floor turned to look at Xia Chuan when they heard the voice.

Noticing the struggle on Xia Chuan's face, everyone showed a trace of confusion on their faces.

boom!
Coincidentally, at this moment, a room next to the main hall on the second floor was suddenly broken open from the inside, and what flew out was the corpse of a demon sheep with its head bitten off.

Many people were stunned and looked towards the room.

"Roar…………"

A nine-meter-long golden-armored Lei Kui slowly walked out of the room. Everyone who saw the Lei Kui's pupils suddenly shuddered in horror.

Then, a few people noticed the eyes of Lei Kui. They obviously remembered something. The horror on their faces disappeared instantly and turned into hope.

"This is the intermediate Lei Kui transformed from the wooden man. It's the leader's wooden man. Hahahaha, we're saved, we're saved!"

Yuan Cheng's words immediately cleared up the confusion of the others who were confused.

Thinking of the five wooden dummies in the training ground, the faces of all the Digging Realm warriors, including those who had not yet fully reached the third floor, were instantly filled with hope.

"No wonder, no wonder no cold beasts rushed out of the compartment for so long. Just now, the five wooden men transformed into cold beasts to deal with them!"

Luo Yuan suddenly realized at this moment that the noise of the cold beasts crawling into the compartment had been going on for a long time, but he had never seen them break through the wall and come out. So this was the reason.

But when he realized this, his face suddenly turned ugly.

Not only him, but also Shi Ping, Yuan Cheng, Yue Feng, and everyone in the hunting team, all turned ugly in an instant.

They all understood why Xia Chuan did not put out the fire in the iron furnace.

The seventeen of them knew best the functions of the camp buildings.

The wooden man can only be activated within the radiation range of the iron furnace.

"Not only will it affect the wooden man, once the fire in the iron furnace goes out, it will play into the hands of the Jingxian Camp!"

Luo Yuan exchanged glances with Xia Chuan from a distance and instantly realized something even more serious.

It is basically certain that this wave of cold beasts was caused by the strange monster behind the Mirror Fairy Camp.

The other party is deliberately planning this, isn't it just to make them put out the fire?
boom…………

While everyone was stunned, a loud noise came from downstairs.

Yuan Cheng, who was closest to the window, quickly leaned his head out and looked down. His pupils suddenly shrank, and he quickly turned back and shouted to Xia Chuan:

"Chuan, an intermediate frost wolf, an intermediate frost wolf is coming!"

There was no need for Yuan Cheng to remind them. Xia Chuan and the others had already been forced to the main hall by the cold beasts in the four aisles.

With so many cold beasts breaking into the second floor of the wooden house, the wooden walls on all four sides were already riddled with holes, and the scene outside could be easily seen.

On the north side is a frost wolf; on the south side is a demon sheep; on the front of the west side is a snow mane; and behind the valley on the east side is a soaring dragon.

Just like the group of cold beasts that attacked the wooden house from four directions just now, these four intermediate cold beasts were also frantically ramming the wooden walls from all sides.

Boom...boom...boom...

"Chuan, look into their eyes!"

"Already seen it."

Yuan Cheng’s suggestion is a bit redundant.

Not to mention Xia Chuan, all the other Digging Realm people on the second floor noticed the four cold beasts' eyes the first thing they did when they saw them.

Unlike the low-level cold beasts that had just attacked the wooden house and had blood-red eyes, the eyes of these four intermediate-level cold beasts were all silver-white fluid, like a mirror, and they could see their own reflections in it even from dozens of meters away.

"The rest of the low-level frosty beasts are normal. The Mirror Fairy Camp should have created this tide of frosty beasts by controlling these four mid-level frosty beasts!"

Xia Chuan's expression became increasingly gloomy. The strange behavior of the four intermediate-level cold beasts made him almost certain of his thoughts.

"Jingxian Camp, waiting for dark!"

He looked up outside the wooden house and found that the sky had completely darkened. This thought popped into Xia Chuan's mind and a layer of cold sweat suddenly broke out on his back.

"boom…………"

There was another loud noise from the east wall of the wooden house. The intermediate Teng Jiao, with a head and a body more than ten meters long, had drilled in from outside the house. As its body kept twisting, it continued to cause damage to the wooden house.

"Don't let go, everyone. Don't let go."

"Master Mu, a low-level cold beast has come in."

"There's a Teng Jiao over here, come and help!"

"what…………"

………………

Hearing the faint sound coming from the first floor, Xia Chuan's expression changed.

The reason why the wooden house has stood firm until now is entirely due to the support of more than 500 lumberjacks on the first floor. However, with the entry of four intermediate-level cold beasts, they have obviously reached their limit.

Xia Chuan knew that if he delayed any further, if something went wrong on the first floor, the entire structure of the wooden house would collapse, and by then it wouldn't just be the death of one or two people.

Xia Chuan swung his sword faster and forced a frost wolf away. He then turned to Luo Yuan and the others and said loudly, "Luo Yuan, you and your men continue to guard the main hall and don't let the frost beasts go up. Yuan Cheng, Yue Feng, and the other ten of you, follow me to the first floor to help!"

"Okay, we'll guard the main hall. Even if it costs me my life, I won't let them get up from here."

Luo Yuan roared and took the rest of the people to guard the stairs.

The Lei Kui that was transformed from the wooden man also came to his side and helped to deal with the low-level cold beasts that kept rushing towards the stairs.

"Did this wooden man come to help me on his own initiative, or...?"

Seeing the movements of the wooden man, Luo Yuan's eyes lit up. He thought for a moment, then suddenly looked up towards the third floor, his eyes suddenly filled with excitement.

…………

On the other side, Xia Chuan brought Yuan Cheng, Yue Feng and twelve others down to the first floor. When he saw the scene in front of him, his heart skipped a beat.

I just said that the four walls of the second floor are full of holes, but compared with the first floor, it is nothing.

The four walls on the first floor are almost ventilated.

If it weren't for the iron locks forged two days ago, which forcibly linked the wooden house structure together, and the more than 400 people led by Mu Dong were holding it tightly, the wooden house would have collapsed long ago. This was only the main hall. There were also more than a hundred people holding the door chain tightly at the main door on the west side of the first floor. The double doors had been knocked open by the cold beast outside for one or two meters. The fangs of the snow mane and the sharp horns of the demon sheep had already been inserted.

Not to mention the main gate, even the wooden walls on both sides of the main gate were badly broken at this moment. The heads of several snow-maned sheep and demon sheep had already poked their heads in, and their bodies were still trying hard to squeeze in.

"Yuan Cheng, take five people with you to help them guard the main gate. Yue Feng, the six of you come with me to help Mu Dong, quickly!"

At Xia Chuan's command, the twelve people quickly divided into two teams.

Yuan Cheng led five men and rushed towards the main gate with swords in hand. They first chopped out the Snow Mane and Demon Sheep that were inserted into the door. After the door was closed again, they aimed at the heads of the cold beasts that came in from the left and right sides of the door and chopped them wildly.

The pressure on the hundred or so people holding the chain at the main gate was immediately reduced.

On the other hand, Xia Chuan's support was not so effective.

Although there were more than 400 people in the center of the main hall, the four iron chains they pulled connected the joints of the entire wooden house, and the impact force they endured was many times higher than that of the more than 100 people at the main entrance.

Moreover, there is a large iron gate blocking the west side, and the structure of the wooden house has not completely collapsed, so it is basically impossible for cold beasts to get in. However, the same cannot be said for the three directions of east, south and north.

There was no one in the compartment of the wooden house. After these cold beasts came in, their targets were all the more than 400 people in the main hall. When Xia Chuan and others came down, there were already three or four cold beasts, starting to feast on them. This was also the source of the screams that Xia Chuan had just heard on the second floor.

Whoosh……

Before Xu Ning's men arrived, he shot an arrow at a Teng Jiao that was screaming and biting people. The iron arrow was so powerful that it pierced through the Teng Jiao's pupil and nailed its head directly to the ground.

Pfft…………

Xia Chuan arrived and cut off Teng Jiao's head with one sword. Then he took Yue Feng and began to drive away the cold beasts from other directions.

"Sir, we can't stand it any longer!"

Mu Dong's face flushed red at this moment, and the blood stains from the friction of the iron chain on his chest had dyed his shirt red. Although he told Xia Chuan that he couldn't bear it anymore, his hands were still tightly grasping the end of the iron chain without any relaxation.

Although the other 400-odd lumberjacks did not speak, they all glanced at Xia Chuan intentionally or unintentionally.

Obviously, Mu Dong's words also represent their thoughts at the moment.

There are at least five hundred cold beasts tonight.

The wooden walls, iron spikes, Tengjiao poison skin, poison sacs, and the arrows they shot on the third floor did kill quite a few beasts, but all of them together were less than a hundred, which was only one-fifth of the entire cold beast tide.

Nearly four hundred cold beasts charged at the same time, plus the subsequent four intermediate-level cold beasts, the wooden house has been able to hold out until now without collapsing. It can be said that the more than five hundred lumberjacks on the first floor made a great contribution.

Even though he knew that the 500 people on the first floor had reached their limit, Xia Chuan still gritted his teeth and said, "I'm going to kill Xue Zong in front of me with one sword.

"Hold on for a while. The four intermediate-level cold beasts are already being dealt with by the cold beasts transformed from wooden men. As long as the wooden house doesn't collapse and we can hold on to these low-level cold beasts, we'll have a chance to survive!"

Although some cold beasts have gotten into the second floor, their number is not that large. Luo Yuan and his companions should be able to hold on for a while and it shouldn't be a problem.

But if the first floor is completely breached and the wooden house collapses, it will be the end!
"It's only a few minutes until dark. Once it gets dark, these frosty beasts won't be as strong anymore. Let's hold on a little longer!"

Just keep going.

What are you insisting on?
"Master Xia Chuan, where is the leader? Is he outside, dealing with other stronger cold beasts?"

Among the lumberjacks who were pulling the chains, someone suddenly asked loudly.

As soon as this person opened his mouth, everyone else couldn't help but look at Xia Chuan, including Mu Dong.

More than an hour has passed since nightfall.

There are only a few minutes left before it gets completely dark.

But the leader Xia Hong has not shown up until now.

The wooden house is only this big. Xia Chuan can hear what's happening on the first floor from the second floor, and the people on the first floor can also hear what's happening upstairs.

They indeed did not hear Xia Hong's voice from the very beginning.

At such a critical moment, how could Leader Xia Hong not show up?

Does a breakthrough have to reach this level?

The wooden house has been destroyed like this, and Xia Hong is still in seclusion?
No matter how you think about it, this is impossible!

A very scary guess gradually emerged in some people's minds.

The looks they gave Xia Chuan slowly turned into despair.

Especially since Xia Chuan didn't speak for a long time, this feeling of despair kept growing and gradually spread among the crowd.

"Da Xia has come to this point. You know better than me who the leader is. Don't let your imagination run wild. If he doesn't come out, it proves that it is not the right time yet. We just need to do what we should do. Whether we can survive or not depends on ourselves. I really don't trust the leader, I don't trust my brother..."

After more than an hour of tense nerves, Xia Chuan also became irritable. After reading what everyone was thinking from their eyes, he became even more angry. After saying the above, he chopped the frost wolf in front of him away with a knife, turned around and continued to roar at the people behind him:

"Let go now and run!"

When everyone heard the voice, they were all shocked. The image of Xia Hong in the past emerged in their minds, including everything he had done for the camp, the cold beast meat, the wooden puppet, the group of gnawing rats, the Mirror Fairy Camp...

"The leader is not that kind of person. He won't abandon us and run away."

"That's right. If anyone dares not to trust the leader, I will be the first one to not forgive him."

"It has come to this, and you are still letting go. The leader might be just a little bit away from a breakthrough. Hang in there, brothers. As long as we hold on until the leader comes out, we can survive!"

………………

Trust in Xia Hong prevailed after all.

With each roar and shout, the morale of the crowd, which had been declining, suddenly rose again, and the four chains were even pulled back a little for a moment.

Bang…bang…boom…

There were several tremors coming from all around the wooden house. Xia Chuan looked up at the four corners and found that outside the wooden house, the four Lei Kui transformed from the wooden men had already faced a cold beast respectively.

The wooden man transformed into Lei Kui because Lei Kui had the strongest overall strength.

In theory, the four intermediate-level cold beasts, Teng Jiao, Snow Mane, Demon Sheep, and Frost Wolf, would not suffer any loss no matter which one they faced, even if it was a real intermediate-level Thunder Kui.

Not to mention, the intermediate Lei Kui transformed from the wooden man is not afraid of pain.

In this situation, the four Thunder Kuis transformed from the wooden man should, at least, have the upper hand, even if they cannot kill the four intermediate cold beasts outside the wooden house.

But at this moment, the actual situation was that the four Thunder Kuis and the four cold beasts outside actually fought to a draw, and neither of them had the upper hand.

On the east side, Lei Kui struck Teng Jiao, crushing his chest.

But Teng Jiao acted as if nothing had happened. He stood half upright, with cold light flashing in his mirror-like pupils, and leaped towards Lei Kui again.

It's not just the east side, the same is true for the Snowmanes in the west, the Demon Sheep in the south, and the Frostwolves in the north.

These four intermediate-level cold beasts are not only not afraid of pain, they are clearly not afraid of life or death. Or, it seems that they cannot feel the injuries they are suffering.

Especially, when he saw Xue Zong on the west side, whose front limbs were broken by Lei Kui's attack, he stood up again in just four or five breaths as if nothing had happened, Xia Chuan's pupils suddenly froze.

Not afraid of death, aren’t they just like those people in Jingxian Camp?

No, not only are they not afraid of death, these four cold beasts can also ignore their injuries.

boom…………

Although the four intermediate cold beasts were controlled by Lei Kui, who was transformed from a wooden man, the big iron gate on the west side finally collapsed under the continuous impact of two or three hundred snow-manes and magic sheep outside.

"Yuan Cheng, bring the people back, quickly!"

"Everyone listen to my instructions. When I count to three, let go together."

The moment the gate collapsed, Xia Chuan turned his head to look at the sky and immediately shouted twice in succession.

The first shout was directed at Yuan Cheng and the more than one hundred people at the door;
The second shout was directed at Mu Dong and the more than 400 people in the main hall.

"one,"

After Xia Chuan finished speaking, he started counting down.

As the gate collapsed, Yuan Cheng retreated with more than a hundred people. Outside the west gate, a huge number of snow-maned demon sheep rushed in like a tide.

"two,"

When they counted to the second time, the beast herd on the west side was less than a hundred meters away from them.

"three!"

After counting to three, Mu Dong was the first to let go, followed by more than 400 people, some at a time but some at a time, all of whom loosened their chains almost at the same time within only half a breath of each other.

Clang…clang…clang…

The chain did not have the strength of the crowd to hold it together, and it was quickly reset along with the iron material at the key point of the wooden house. The speed was so fast that it even left four long lines of fire on the ground.

boom…………

Without the reinforcement of iron materials, the impact of the cold beast outside was immediate and the walls of the wooden house began to collapse.

Now, not only the Snow-mane Demon Sheep at the main gate on the west side, but also the Teng Jiao on the east and the Frost Wolves on the north and south sides, all rushed into the first floor of the wooden house along the collapsed wooden wall.

The overwhelming rush of cold beasts caused a terrifying shock. Xia Chuan and others, who were unable to stand steadily in the center of the main hall, were the ones who had the most say in this.

Fear was on everyone's face. They looked up at the cold beasts rushing towards them from four directions. Some desperate people even closed their eyes.

However, just when the wooden house collapsed to the middle part, the cold beast happened to rush to the place where only a hundred meters were left for everyone.

Clang......

The chain, which had been completely restored, suddenly seemed to be stuck by something.

Half of the outer layer of the wooden house collapsed, revealing a fifty-meter-long green bamboo fence on all sides, blocking the cold beasts.

Those bamboo fences were crisscrossed at an angle, and had a layer of more than 20 centimeters of sharp thorns on the surface. The moment the cold beasts tried to rush over, those spikes immediately shot towards them like raindrops.

Whoosh…whoosh…whoosh…

Pfft…………

The power of those spikes was terrifying to the extreme.

Looking through the bamboo fence, they saw the cold beasts falling one after another. The despair on the faces of Xia Chuan, Yue Feng and the others disappeared in an instant.

Only Xia Chuan looked up at the completely dark sky and clenched his fists under his sleeves.

"It's getting dark, those beasts should be here soon!"
