Endless Winter: My Camp Infinite Upgrades

Chapter 165: Once and for All, Victory
The iron smelting furnace is a building in the system, and can always be ignited and extinguished according to Xia Hong's wishes.

Luo Yuan, Zhao Long and those who were later incorporated into Daxia may not be aware of this.

But Xia Chuan, Yuan Cheng, Yue Feng and other earliest people in Da Xia all knew about it.

The primary version of the iron smelting furnace is a small fire.

The first time Xia Hong dealt with the wooden puppet in the cave, he summoned a fire out of thin air right in front of them.

"Brother, didn't you show up earlier? Is it just for now?"

Although Xia Chuan had some guesses in his mind, when he saw the horrific injuries on Xia Hong's body, he immediately knew that it was not entirely true.

Xia Hong had obviously been fighting with the man in white for a long time.

No, not some man in white.

But it’s Gao Yu.

In other words, He Yuanhun is the right one!

As the flames in the stove rose, everyone in Da Xia, including Xia Chuan, could clearly see the appearance of the man in white beside the stove.

The man in white was none other than Gao Yu, who had come to the valley to stay for a few days on the 25th of last month.

Although Gao Yu's appearance had not changed at this moment, there was not a trace of his previous calmness and gentleness on his face, only ferocity and tyranny.

There was a black aura lingering around his body, coupled with his silver-white pupils and seven or eight long and thin knife-like edges beside his eyes, his temperament was extremely evil.

The effect that the stove had on the people in Jingxian Camp was obviously different.

The more than 200 Digging Realm beasts on the periphery reacted the most violently, howling miserably with silver-white liquid constantly flowing from their eyes; the four intermediate cold beasts did not wail, but only showed expressions of pain; then there were He Gang and He Meng who had broken through to the cold-resistant level. Compared with the two, He Gang, who was weaker, reacted even more violently.

The man in white, He Yuanhun, just had a distorted expression, and the pain on his face was far less than that of the others. He was staring at Xia Hong on the ground with his head down, his eyes full of resentment.

The stronger you are, the less impact you will suffer.

"Their eyes are their Achilles' heel, use fire-condensing oil!"

The fire in the furnace was lit, and Jingxian and his group of monsters showed such painful reactions. Xia Hong struck while the iron was hot and took action quickly.

He gave an order to remind the others, then rushed towards He Yuanhun on the third floor, not forgetting to draw out the ceremonial sword along the way.

Xia Chuan also reacted suddenly. The knife marks around He Yuanhun's eyes should have been caused by Xia Hong when he fought with him just now.

"Everyone, take your bows and swords, use the fire oil, and attack their eyes!"

Not to mention the group of Diggers, even the more than 500 Logging Masters in the camp, as well as some half-grown children, all immediately sprang into action upon hearing Xia Chuan's order.

Xia Chuan, Luo Yuan and other Digging Realm warriors, who always kept their swords and bows in their hands, immediately drew their bows and arrows and shot at the more than 200 Digging Realm warriors who were still immersed in pain in the outer area of ​​Mirror Immortal Camp.

The target, of course, is their eyes.

Whoosh…whoosh…whoosh…

Zhao Long, who was the best archer, was the first to shoot someone in the eye.

The man's eyes were already flowing with a large amount of silver-white liquid. After being hit by the arrow coated with fire-condensing oil, thick smoke instantly came out of his pupils, and then flames suddenly ignited from his skull, and he immediately let out a scream that was even more painful and intense than before.

"what…………"

The flames spread rapidly, and in less than five breaths, the man's body was burned to ashes, turning into black smoke and disappearing in front of everyone's eyes.

Seeing this man being engulfed by the flames brought about by the fire-condensing oil, Xia Chuan, Luo Yuan and a group of people from the Great Xia Camp were suddenly filled with excitement.

As long as there is a way to deal with it, it won’t be a problem.

"Run, run!"

But at this moment, He Meng and He Gang on the third floor rushed towards them and shouted, signaling the people outside to escape.

Although he was controlled, he did not completely lose his mind, and his combat effectiveness was not completely lost.

Xia Chuan just looked back at He Meng and He Gang. After coming to this conclusion in his mind, he immediately said to the others: "Don't worry about them, keep shooting these monsters!"

boom…………

He Meng and He Gang, who were rushing towards Xia Chuan and others, were knocked away by a huge dark sharp horn before they got close.

"Roar…………"

The one blocking them was the intermediate Lei Kui transformed from the wooden man.

The iron smelting furnace was reignited, and the five wooden dummies were naturally restored.

The other four wooden men have already faced four intermediate-level cold beasts respectively.

A hint of mania appeared on He Meng's face. Looking at his own people fleeing below, he wanted to rush down to help.

But Lei Kui, who was transformed from the wooden man, didn't give him any chance at all. Not only did he stop him, he also blocked He Gang.

Although both of them have broken through the cold-resistant level, they are still not up to the task of facing an intermediate-level Lei Kui who specializes in defense.

The key is that due to the suppression of the furnace fire, they cannot exert their full strength, but the Lei Kui transformed by the wooden man is different. Not only is his defense stronger than the real Lei Kui, he can even ignore pain.

As the situation became more severe, no matter how anxious the two were, there was nothing they could do.

They could only attack Lei Kui while watching their own people below being shot and killed by Xia Chuan and his men.

"Luo Yuan and the hunting team follow me, the rest of you continue to shoot arrows, don't let any of them go, kill them!"

Seeing that the more than 200 people in Jingxian Camp had begun to flee toward the west valley entrance, Xia Chuan showed a ruthless look on his face. He drew out his sword and shouted orders to the rest of the people, then jumped down first.

The sixteen members of the hunting team followed him and all went down.

The remaining forty or so Digging Realm continued to shoot arrows at those who had run far away.

…………

On the other side, Gao Yu had already been forced to the south side of the valley by Xia Hong.

The ceremonial knife slashed towards his pupil. He Yuanhun dodged sideways and narrowly avoided the blade. When he saw the black grease smeared on the ceremonial knife, a look of horror flashed across his pupil and he was terrified.

"He had already guessed it was me. He hadn't shown up for so long just to find me. The stove could have been extinguished long ago, but he left it on purpose to confuse me and make me think that the stove had to be lit by a human!"

boom…………

He Yuanhun looked shocked and frightened. After dodging the long sword, he was hit in the chest by a punch from Xia Hong who was chasing him relentlessly.

The terrifying force caused his chest to collapse instantly, and he was smashed into the southern mountain like a cannonball again.

You know, this place is not far from the iron mine cave on the south side, and the stones in the nearby mountains are much harder than other places.

But even so, Xia Hong's punch still knocked him seven or eight meters deep into the mountain.

puff…………

He Yuanhun spurted out a mouthful of blood and looked up at Xia Hong who was pressing him step by step. In addition to ferocity and anger, there was more horror in his eyes.

Everything that happened tonight was originally in his plan.

Control four intermediate-level cold beasts, launch this wave of cold beasts from four tribes, attack the Daxia camp, and force them to extinguish the fire in the iron furnace.

He was well aware that a cold beast tide of this scale would most likely not destroy Da Xia.

But forcing the other party to put out the fire is not difficult. As long as this step is achieved, he can easily defeat Daxia with more than 200 men under his command.

Everything went smoothly. Even though he was discovered by Xia Hong half an hour ago when he was hiding above the valley and observing the situation below, he still felt that he had won the game.

It was not until Xia Hong showed strength that was stronger than his own that he began to feel something was wrong, but at this moment, the fire was out.

The moment the fire went out, he truly felt that he had won.

Who knew that Xia Hong gave him such an unexpected surprise.

The fire in the furnace didn't need to be lit by anyone, Xia Hong could control it at will.

"Just when I was about to break through to the Cold Resistance Level, someone came to the camp to teach me about the combat body. How could such a coincidence exist in the world?
You created such a big cold beast tide just to let me put out the fire. You are really deliberate. It's a pity..."

Xia Hong said it lightly, but in fact, it was only half an hour ago when he noticed the large-scale invasion of the Jingxian camp that he was completely sure that He Yuanhun was Gao Yu.

Before the cold beast tide came, Xia Hong had successfully broken through and woke up.

He chose to hide behind the scenes in order to lure out the monster behind the Mirror Fairy Camp once and for all and eliminate it in one fell swoop.

At first he didn't connect these things with Gao Yu.

But half an hour ago, while searching for monsters around the valley, he discovered signs of a large-scale invasion of the Jingxian camp.

In this way, many things can be understood at once.

This wave of cold beasts must have been caused by the strange monster in Jingxian Camp.

But according to normal logic, how could a mere Big Xia camp possibly stop a tide of cold beasts with a size of over 500?
There was no need for that strange monster to bring anyone with him. He only needed to wait for the cold beast to slaughter all the people of Da Xia.

But it still brought people over.

The reason is very simple, because the monster knows that this cold beast tide alone cannot destroy Da Xia, or in other words, its purpose in creating this cold beast tide is not to destroy Da Xia at all.

The strange monster in Jingxian Camp is sure that the cold beast tide cannot destroy Daxia!
This in itself is a huge doubt.

Before Xia Hong broke through the cold-resistant level, Da Xia's real reliance was actually the five wooden man piles, but this matter was extremely secretive, and not everyone in Da Xia's camp knew about it. How did the weirdo in Jingxian Camp know about it?
Combined with the fact that the cold beast tide was deliberately caused just before nightfall, it was obvious that it was a preparation for bringing people from the Mirror Fairy Camp over later.

Judging from the apparent strength alone, the Jingxian Camp is several times stronger than Daxia.

However, the other party did not dare to invade openly at night. They knew very well that the cold beast tide could not destroy Da Xia, but they were still so deliberate. Apart from using the cold beast tide to force them to put out the fire, what other reason could there be?
In other words, the monster in Jingxian Camp was not only afraid of the fire in the iron furnace, it also knew about the wooden man, and was also aware of the strong attraction of the iron furnace to the cold beast.

During this period of time, the only person who had been to Daxia and had come into contact with the iron smelting furnace, and who might have known about the wooden man, was Gao Yu, who claimed to be from Shenwu Village east of Shuanglong Mountain.

So far, the only person who has not shown up in the Jingxian camp is the big leader He Yuanhun. The monster who was able to resurrect people like He Meng and He Gang is most likely him.

If that is the case, then Gao Yu, or He Yuanhun, is the monster behind the Jingxian camp.

After confirming this, Xia Hong still did not rush out.

His target is always weird.

There are marking stones, and Xia Hong can sense through the system any alien life intervention within a one-kilometer radius of the valley.

Half an hour ago, he had been spying in the dark when he noticed that more than 200 people had entered the Jingxian camp.

Unfortunately, when Xia Hong discovered that these 271 people were all at the Digging Realm, he immediately realized that the monster was still hiding in the dark and had not appeared.

It happened that at this time, Shi Ping put out the fire in the iron smelting furnace, and all the low-level cold beasts were attracted by the fire outside the west side of the valley and ran away.

Only the four intermediate cold beasts did not move.

Moreover, He Meng and He Gang also appeared at this time.

These two things made Xia Hong completely certain that the monster must be near the valley.

He must have seen everything in the valley clearly, so as soon as the fire in the iron smelting furnace was extinguished, he immediately notified He Gang and He Meng to lead people into the valley.

The four intermediate-level cold beasts were not only able to withstand the fire from the iron furnace for such a long time, but they were also able to defy common sense and not be attracted by the torches outside the valley.

In other words, the four intermediate cold beasts were controlled from beginning to end.

Even though it was confirmed that it was near the valley, Xia Hong was still confused.

The marking stone can clearly sense any alien life form within a one-kilometer radius of the station. Since people like He Gang and He Meng can be detected, this monster can naturally be the same.

The base was in the valley, and the one-kilometer radius was nothing more than a small area outside Redwood Ridge. Xia Hong searched it two or three times but found nothing.

When he was most anxious, he was ready to show up directly.

He has always been concerned about the casualties in the camp.

He saw everything Xia Chuan did; the fact that the rest of the people in the camp worked together to achieve this was far beyond his expectations.

If too many casualties were caused in the attempt to find that monster, it would not be worth it.

Just when he was about to give up, he looked up at the intersection of the north and south mountains above the valley.

Only then did he suddenly realize that he had missed the most critical point.

The one-kilometer radius of the marking stone detection includes the sky and the underground, but the intersection of the two mountains at the top of the valley is more than two thousand meters high.

Sure enough, after Xia Hong quietly moved closer, he found Gao Yu, dressed in white with silver eyes.

The sneak attack was successful, but he paid a price.

The wound on the left cheek, the cracks on the left arm, and more than a dozen bloody holes on the chest all revealed that the weak spot of this monster was its eyes.

In other words, this strange ability is closely related to the eyes.

………………

Xia Hong was stunned for only a moment, and Gao Yu, who was kicked into the mountain by him, was buried by the dust and smoke caused by the shaking of the mountain.

Seeing that Gao Yu didn't make any movement for a long time, Xia Hong's expression became a little serious. He slowly approached the mountain holding the ceremonial sword, just when he was about to walk into the dust.

call out…………

A ray of silver mirror light suddenly broke through the smoke and rushed towards his face.

Xia Hong was startled, and suddenly jumped back, raising his knife hastily to block.

Ding……

The light from the mirror hit the ceremonial sword, making only a ding sound.

But the next second, the ceremonial sword made of iron ore began to crack like a broken lens, and the cracks continued to expand.

Click... click... click...

After three breaths, the ceremonial sword that had been fighting with Xia Hong for a long time suddenly shattered, turned into debris, and fell directly to the ground.

Xia Hong dropped the handle in his hand and turned to look at his cracked left arm. His expression was solemn, yet with a hint of relief.

"Same move, second time, no matter what..."

I just got hit for the first time at the top of the mountain. It all came down to lack of understanding.

After all, this monster's strength is still inferior to his.

"Brother, take the knife!"

As soon as Xia Hong lost his ceremonial sword, Xia Chuan, who was standing next to the wooden house, noticed it.

With a loud shout, a long knife was thrown at him.

Xia Hong raised his hand to take it, looking at the slender silver-white ceremonial sword in his hand, noticing the hundred-forged patterns on the edge of the sword, and his pupils suddenly showed a hint of joy.

"Chief, I still have more!"

Mu Dong also threw two things over.

Xia Hong also reached out and took it, which was an iron bow and a pot of iron arrows.

There were also forging patterns on the edge of the iron bow, and the bowstring was transparent with a hint of white. Xia Hong could tell at a glance that the transparent part was the intermediate Teng Jiao tendon, and the white ones were thin threads. If he remembered correctly, they were obtained from the killing of He Meng.

Including the pot of iron arrows, each one has hundreds of forging patterns on it!
Xia Chuan actually brought people together and made three hundred-forged weapons for himself.

It's just the tension of the bowstring...

"Brother, the bowstring is made of Tengjiao tendons and white silk. It can withstand a tensile force of 100,000 kilograms."

After hearing what Xia Chuan said, Xia Hong no longer hesitated. He drew his bow and shot an arrow at Gao Yu who had just run out of the dust.

"what…………"

Gao Yu, who was fleeing towards the west side of the valley, was shot in the right eye by an arrow and immediately let out a scream.

The powerful force caused his body to be thrown more than ten meters to the left.

That’s not all. The key point is that fire was coming out of his right eye.

"Now that you're out, it won't be that easy to escape again!"

The moment Xia Hong touched the iron arrow, he knew that the arrowhead had been coated with fire-condensing oil in advance.

After a cold laugh, he drew his knife and rushed straight towards Gao Yu.

"Captain, you run first, we'll hold him back!"

Unfortunately, before he could rush to Gao Yu.

He Gang and He Meng, who had just tried to attack Lei Kui to save people, had already given up on Lei Kui and changed direction directly, standing in front of Xia Hong.

"Brothers, we can't let anything happen to the leader. As long as the leader is alive and Mirror Fairy is still here, none of us will die!"

Not only He Gang and He Meng, but someone else shouted, and the Digging Realm people in Jingxian Camp who were being chased by Xia Chuan and others also gave up escaping and rushed to Gao Yu.

"Protect the leader, brothers."

"As long as the leader is alive, the Mirror Fairy will not be destroyed. I swear to protect the leader until my death."

"Mirror Immortal, do not fear death."

"As long as the leader is here, we will live forever."

"Fight with Daxia, kill!"

…………

Even many Digging Realm who had already escaped from the valley turned back at this time.

Looking at the huge crowd of Diggers rushing towards him excitedly, shouting to protect their leader, Xia Hong's face showed no emotion, nor was he as admiring as before.

There was only coldness and murderous intent in his eyes!
"You are so stubborn! From the moment I came out of seclusion, the Mirror Fairy Camp has no need to exist anymore!"

Xia Hong took a deep breath, raised the new ceremonial sword he had just obtained, turned around and waved gently at Xia Chuan and others who were rushing towards him.

"I alone am enough!"

Noticing that Gao Yu on the other side had already fled to the west side of the valley, Xia Hong's eyes flashed with a faint light, but he ignored him.
