Endless Winter: My Camp Infinite Upgrades

Chapter 197 Tragic scene, icy skin and jade bones, Xia Hong's true strength

Is this little thing in front of me a high-level cold beast?

Not to mention the more than 400 people below, even Yue Feng, who was standing next to Yuwen Tao, was dumbfounded at this moment.

"Are you deaf? Run!"

But Yue Feng was still the one who reacted the fastest.

Realizing that Yuwen Tao had no reason to lie to them, Yue Feng quickly pulled out the iron-framed bow from behind him, put an arrow on it, and roared loudly again towards the bottom.

The more than 400 people below finally reacted at this moment.

"run!"

"Run, spread out."

Those who broke windows broke windows, those who climbed over walls climbed over walls...

Although the people on the first floor had quickly dispersed, there were more than 400 of them after all. It was not easy for them all to escape from the wooden house at once.

“Hmph…”

The snow-maned beast, which was no more than one meter long, snorted again.

Its pair of crystal-clear jade-green pupils gently turned around with the scattered crowd, and a humane, sadistic smile appeared on its face.

The next second, it was seen shaking its body slightly.

Rustle...

There was a rustling sound, and the barbs on the back of Snowmane, which were only a few dozen centimeters long, flew out from its body like steel needles, at such a fast speed that sparks appeared in the air.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh……

Hundreds of barbs blossomed like pear blossoms in a rainstorm. The originally dark wooden house was suddenly lit up by the flames from the barbs, exuding a weird and terrifying beauty.

Puff... Puff... Whoosh...

Behind the flames, there was the sound of countless spikes piercing the human body.

"what…………"

"what!"

"Run, run, you can't avoid the steel spikes."

"Ah, run!"

…………

The continuous screams finally resounded throughout the entire wooden house.

Blood splattered everywhere, broken limbs mixed with blood, accompanied by continuous screams, the wooden house that was originally used as a shelter turned into a hell on earth in an instant.

The spikes shot out by the snow mane had extremely astonishing power and speed. They did not stop after hitting a person, but went straight through the body. If that person was hit, and there was someone else in front of him unfortunately, they would also be pierced directly.

After the spike penetrated the human body, its force remained undiminished and it shot directly through the wall and flew out of the wooden house.

The four walls of the entire wooden house were instantly riddled with holes.

Of the more than 400 people here tonight, except for the three hunting team members and a few who came to mine at the Digging Realm, the vast majority of the others are from the Gathering Department and are at the Logging Realm.

Even the Digging Realm warriors were powerless to resist the spikes shot out by the Snow Mane, let alone these weak Woodcutting Realm warriors.

"Break through the wall and escape, don't look back!"

Yuwen Tao kept shooting arrows with his bow and did not forget to remind everyone to break through the wall and escape. However, his voice was now full of panic and even a little desperate.

Snowmane has been shaking his body for only five or six breaths.

In just a short while, there were at least a hundred people lying on the ground.

Regardless of how many died, the problem is that after the barbs on the back of the snow mane shot out, a new one quickly grew out.

This new batch of thorns looks even sharper and finer than before.

What's even more terrible is that he, Yue Feng, Hong Guang, and Meng Yi were completely unable to stop the iron arrows shot by Xue Zong.

Clang...clang...

You know, among the four, except for Yue Feng whose basic strength is slightly weaker, only over 20,000 jin, the other three have exceeded the limit of the Digging Realm, and Yuwen Tao's is as high as over 50,000.

Even the iron arrows shot by Yuwen Tao couldn't scratch the opponent's skin, let alone those shot by Hong Guang and his two companions.

"This thirty-stone iron bow made of bamboo silk and Tengjiao tendons has a pulling force of up to 30,000 catties, but even its outer skin cannot be penetrated..."

Yuwen Tao's voice was trembling. In just a short while, the four of them had almost used up all the iron arrows on their bodies.

But the snow-maned man hadn't even moved his body.

Not only did his body not move, the snow-maned mane even raised his head and looked towards the second floor, which was the direction where the four of them were standing.

I don’t know if it was because of the bloody smell in the wooden house, but Xuezong looked at the four people, his jade-green pupils full of cruelty at this moment, and with an extremely obvious enjoyment and greed.

rustling...

The snow-maned beast shook its body again.

The only difference from just now was that this time the direction of its shaking was clearly upwards.

"Spread out and run!"

Yuwen Tao shouted loudly, dropped the bow and arrow in his hand, and fled quickly to the rear;

Hong Guang, Meng Yi and Yue Feng heard the sound and quickly fled in different directions, one in each direction.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh……

Behind Snowmane, a larger number of spikes with a wider range suddenly shot out in all directions of the wooden house again.

Less than ten breaths had passed since the first round. Everything happened so quickly that by the time the second round of spikes was shot out, less than one-tenth of the more than four hundred people had actually escaped from the wooden house.

More than a hundred people had fallen in the first round. When a new round of spikes attacked, the faces of the people in the back row were instantly filled with despair.

A few people even gave up on escaping and simply closed their eyes and waited to die.

This time, neither Yuwen Tao nor Yue Feng had the mind or energy to give any more reminders, because they were already in a difficult situation themselves.

boom…………

Yuwen Tao smashed the window head-on and jumped out. Looking back, he saw Hong Guang and Meng Yi on the other side had already escaped. A hint of joy suddenly appeared in his eyes, but then he looked at Yue Feng and his pupils tightened again.

Yue Feng is too slow.

Not only was his speed slow, his movements were also obviously slower than the other three. He failed to avoid the spikes shot out by Snow Mane, and his shoulder and left calf were pierced. He had already fallen to the windowsill on the west side of the second floor.

call out…………

"Rescue!"

Seeing a sharp spike shooting towards Yue Feng's forehead, Yuwen Tao didn't hesitate at all. He shouted loudly and turned back to rush towards Yue Feng.

Hong Guang and Meng Yi turned around immediately after hearing this. Yuwen Tao had just lost his bow, but they did not. They raised their bows and shot three or four arrows at the sharp spikes.

Keng...

Two iron arrows actually hit the sharp spike accurately.

Unfortunately, the power of the spikes was too strong.

The two iron arrows only slightly changed the direction of their spikes.

clang…………

At the critical moment, a huge broadsword suddenly slashed down.

Yuwen Tao arrived.

When the broadsword hit the spike, his face showed no joy at all, but instead was full of horror.

boom…………

The next second, the broadsword broke, the knuckles of Yuwen Tao's hands were cracked, and the whole person flew backwards more than ten meters.

"The impact force of this spike is at least several times that of mine. How is that possible!"

At this moment, Yuwen Tao's face was horrified. Only now did he realize how desperate the more than 400 people below had just encountered.

There was an ordinary sharp spike on the back of the snow-mane, which had shot out dozens of meters away from the body. He chopped it down from the air, and not only did the broadsword break, but the man was also blown away!
The broadsword in his hand was left by his father Yuwen Hu after his death. It is a real hundred-forged weapon, of the same level as the ceremonial sword in the hand of the leader Xia Hong. It is also one of the few hundred-forged weapons in Daxia today.

Pfft…………

Before Yuwen Tao could recover from the shock of the broken weapon, he heard the sound of the spike piercing the flesh, and he hurriedly looked up at Yue Feng.

Yue Feng's right forehead was pierced directly, and a large piece of scalp flew out.

"Master Si Zheng, just run, don't worry about me!"

Yue Feng was not dead. Although Yuwen Tao's sword just now failed to cut off the sharp spike, it changed its direction, so that it failed to pierce Yue Feng's eyebrows, but only scraped off a large piece of his scalp.

Hearing Yue Feng's cry, Yuwen Tao gritted his teeth, rushed forward and helped him up, and the two of them ran out of the house quickly.

"Sir, look downstairs!"

Yuwen Tao swayed left and right, narrowly avoiding the spikes behind him. Just as he jumped out of the window sill, he heard Hong Guang's warning from the other side and quickly turned his head to look.

Upon seeing this, both he and Yue Feng beside him had their pupils filled with fear.

A dense layer of barbs grew on the back of the snow-maned beast, but this time it did not shake its body to release the spikes, but opened its mouth.

A thick, long, pointed tongue flew out of its mouth, suddenly split in mid-air, and split into nine pieces, which swung wildly in the house like a group of demons dancing wildly.

The long tongue is very soft when it swings, but the moment it touches the human body, it will suddenly stiffen and harden, and the sides of the tongue will shrink to reveal creepy edges.

Those on the first floor who had not escaped yet were almost killed instantly by the beast's tongue. Even if they managed to escape once, they would soon be cut to death again. Some of the more unlucky people had their bodies entangled by the long tongue, and before they could even scream, they were pulled into Snow Mane's mouth and swallowed.

The Snowmane, which was only about one meter long, had swallowed at least a dozen people in just a short while, but there was no bulge in its abdomen, as if nothing had eaten anything.

“Huff…Huff…”

Hearing Xue Zong's voice again, Yuwen Tao no longer had any intention of staying. Even though he knew that there were still nearly two hundred people on the first floor who had not escaped, he neither had the mind nor the energy to care about them.

That snow mane didn't even move his legs from beginning to end!
They just shook their bodies twice and opened their mouths, and that was it.

This is the strength of a high-level cold beast!

If they don't run away, they will all die here.

As it turned out, Yuwen Tao's idea was correct.

A long tongue suddenly attacked from behind it.

Snow Mane had already noticed the four people on the second floor. Realizing that they had all escaped from the house, he actually started to attack them.

Yuwen Tao only had half a broadsword in his hand at the moment. He could only turn around and raise the sword to block in panic, with a hint of despair in his eyes.

He couldn't even resist the barbs that had just shot out from Snow Mane's back, let alone this long tongue.

The sharp tip of the long tongue pierced through half of his broadsword and stabbed straight towards his forehead.

Although Yuwen Tao was retreating with all his might, the speed of the long tongue was so fast that it pierced his forehead in an instant and was about to go through his skull.

Hong Guang, Meng Yi, and Yue Feng, who was closest to him, all ran towards him, wanting to save people, but their speed meant they were simply too late.

laugh…………

There was a sharp pain in his brow bone, and Yuwen Tao's expression suddenly became extremely gloomy.

My death is approaching!
At the critical moment, a slender ceremonial sword came into view.

Yuwen Tao's pupils lit up instantly and his expression became extremely excited.

Crack...

"Go back!"

Xia Hong's voice resounded throughout Jinggu. Not only Yuwen Tao, but all the frightened people inside and outside the wooden house instantly showed hope on their faces. "The leader is here!"

"There's help, there's help..."

…………

Xia Hong, dressed in black, held the knife in both hands, maintaining a chopping posture, with the blade stuck on the horizontal edge of the long tongue in front of Yuwen Tao.

Xia Hong glanced at the snow-maned man on the first floor, his pupils solemn to the extreme.

The "crack" sound just now did not mean the long tongue was cut off.

But his ceremonial sword was broken.

"Leader, this is a high-level Snowmane. It can continuously shoot barbs from its back. Its nine long tongues can be soft or hard and can swallow people. Hundred-forged weapons can't break its defense at all. Its strength is at least ten times more than mine."

Yuwen Tao retreated quickly, wiped the blood from his brow, and quickly looked up to briefly tell Xia Hong about the situation.

"Ten times, more than that!"

Xia Hong said secretly in his heart, looking at the cracked blade with a slightly stern expression.

Although the front end of the blade was broken, the blow he just made had actually cut open Snowmane's tongue. The flesh and blood on the tongue wound was different from that of other cold beasts. It was not azure blue, but a pure white and crystal icy color.

Not only is the color of the flesh different.

There was actually a piece of bone under the flesh and blood of the tongue wound.

The bone was not the normal white color, but green, and had a crystal-like texture, the same color as Snow Mane's eyes.

Slurp...

It sounds long, but from the time Xia Hong appeared to the time he rescued Yuwen Tao, it was only three or four breaths.

The snow-maned long tongue was cut to the bone by Xia Hong, and it was obviously in pain. It tried to retract its tongue into its mouth with a hissing sound.

However, Xia Hong's previous blow was not light. Although the front end of the ceremonial sword was broken, half of the blade was still stuck on the long tongue bone.

As Snowmane retracted his long tongue, half of the blade also retracted with it.

From beginning to end, Xia Hong never let go of the handle of the ceremonial sword.

So, he and everyone else were dragged down together.

As Xia Hong flew towards Snow Mane, he saw the horrific scene on the first floor of the wooden house. Anger flashed across his face and murderous intent instantly rose in his eyes.

In just a short while, there were two or three hundred people lying on the ground.

If I had come a little later, they might all have died.

In Jing Valley, in addition to the members of the three hunting teams of Yuwen Tao, Meng Yi, and Yue Feng, there are also many Digging Realm people who come here to mine; the Logging Realm people who are willing to come here from far away are probably considered elites in the Gathering Department.

These are the backbone of Da Xia at present. So many of them died at once. When Xia Hong looked at the snow-maned man again, his heart was filled with murderous intent.

call…………

Before Xia Hong was pulled in front of Xue Zong, the other eight long tongues attacked him from all directions, stabbing or entangling him.

The snow-mane creature was obviously not stupid. It knew that Xia Hong wanted to get closer to it. When its long tongue was more than ten meters away from its body, it stopped and controlled the other eight tongues to attack him.

How could Xia Hong do as it wished?

He pulled out the half-broken ceremonial sword, and before the eight long tongues could reach him, his body turned into a gust of black wind like thunder and rushed directly towards Xue Zong.

Is it that Xue Zong is faster in retracting his tongue, or that Xia Hong is faster in charging?
The answer to this question soon came.

Xia Hong rushed directly towards him, and Xue Zong was obviously caught off guard. While his nine long tongues were retracted into his mouth, he tried to entangle Xia Hong along the way.

But Xia Hong's speed was so fast that it was somewhat caught off guard.

It had not even retracted half of its nine long tongues when Xia Hong arrived.

There was only a slight flash of panic in Xuezong's eyes, and then when he realized something, a cruel smile appeared on his face again, and his body shook violently.

Rustle...

Xia Hong, who was almost sticking to Xue Zong's body, saw countless spikes shooting towards him. His pupils only condensed slightly, but he continued to raise the half-broken ceremonial knife in his right hand and stabbed forward fiercely.

He did not make any evasive move.

Clang...clang...rip...

Because the distance was too close, almost 90% of the dense spikes hit Xia Hong, but without exception, these spikes were like hitting a solid wall, and after hitting Xia Hong's body, they all fell to the ground.

Only a few of them would occasionally leave a tiny wound and a trace of blood on some vulnerable parts of Xia Hong.

When Xuezong saw this scene, his pupils narrowed and his expression changed instantly.

It has realized that the strength of the person in front of it is far beyond its imagination.

It's just that I realize it now, but it's obviously a little late!

A flash of cold light reflected in his left eye, and Xuezong's expression finally became flustered.

Pfft…………

"If I can't break your skin, I can pierce your eyes, you evil beast!"

The ceremonial sword is 1.7 meters long. Excluding the handle, the blade alone is 1.5 meters long.

With the first cut, the front part of the fracture was only about sixty to seventy centimeters at most.

Xia Hong simply used the remaining half as a dagger.

He did not attack the rest of Snowmane's body, but jumped up and sat on Snowmane's neck, then held the broken knife in reverse and stabbed it into Snowmane's left eye.

Among all the people present, perhaps only Snow-Maned knew how powerful Xia Hong's full-strength power was.

The broken blade, which was more than 70 centimeters long, was completely inserted into its left eye, and the tip of the blade went straight out from the back of its head.

“Roar… Roar…”

His eyeballs and head were pierced, and severe pain spread to his brain. After Snow Mane let out two quick roars, his whole body began to tremble, followed by an even more terrifying and violent roar.

"Roar…………"

As it roared, its limbs quickly bulged and its body continued to expand.

In just a few breaths, the body that was more than one meter long suddenly grew to more than twenty meters; the head was also rapidly expanding, and the mouth full of fine and creepy fangs was stretching wildly; even the newly grown barbs on the back continued to expand and extend.

In an instant, the snow mane turned into a huge monster that was more than 20 meters long and more than 10 meters high.

The only thing that remained unchanged was the broken knife still stuck in its left eye, and the handle of the broken knife was still tightly held in Xia Hong's hand.

But Xia Hong, who had just been riding on its neck, was now lying on his forehead.

"This... this is a high-level cold beast..."

"Is this the real body?"

"What was that just now?"

“Gudong…”

…………

The people who had just fled did not go too far. Everyone, including Yuwen Tao, turned around as Xuezong roared. Seeing the huge monster whose size had already covered the wooden house, their eyes were filled with shock and fear.

"call out…………"

These people had time to be shocked, but Xia Hong didn’t!
The moment Xue Zong's body grew larger, Xia Hong was slightly startled, but realizing that the place where the broken knife in his hand was inserted had not changed at all, he reacted quickly, pulled back the broken knife, and stabbed it at the other eye.

boom…………

But this time, Snowmane didn't give him a chance.

It shook its head violently, throwing Xia Hong high into the air, and its two sharp fangs suddenly rushed towards Xia Hong's body.

call…………

The strong wind caused by the impact of Snowmane's huge body made Xia Hong's expression tense in mid-air. He forced himself to stabilize his falling posture, aimed at Snowmane's fangs, chopped them with the broken knife to gain leverage, turned his body over, and grabbed Snowmane's right forelimb with one hand.

If you can't break it, then use brute force!
A fierce look flashed in Xia Hong's eyes. He bit the broken knife in his mouth, stepped on the ground with both legs, held his breath, and suddenly exerted strength with both hands at the same time.

“Oh…ah…”

With a loud shout, Xia Hong was furious, veins bulged all over his body, and he actually dragged Xue Zong's huge body forward.

"Gudong... Leader... Leader's... power..."

"This snow mane must weigh about 50,000 to 60,000 kilograms, right?"

"Even if it's dead, none of us can move it, let alone a living one."

"Look at that snowmane, the other three legs are struggling on the ground uselessly."

"The leader's strength..."

………………

Let’s not talk about the shock of the crowd for now.

The other three limbs of the Snow Mane kept struggling and flapping on the ground, but it could not break free from Xia Hong's hands no matter what.

After more than ten breaths, when he realized that it was futile, panic and fear finally appeared on Xuezong's face.

Meanwhile, Xia Hong had already started his destruction.

He suddenly exerted force, flipped Snowmane's huge body in the air, and smashed it forward.

boom…………

After a loud bang, Snow Mane flipped over and fell to the ground, lying on the ground with its four legs facing up. Xia Hong still held its right front leg tightly with both hands. Not only did he not let go, he also began to tear it hard with the force of the ground.

“Roar… Roar…”

Of course Xue Zong would not surrender. He thrashed about on the ground frantically, trying to turn over, while his other three limbs kept attacking Xia Hong in an attempt to escape.

But Xia Hong swayed left and right to prevent it from catching him.

While dodging, Xia Hong was able to free up one hand and continuously attack Xue Zong's arm joints with his fists.

Bang...bang...bang...

You don't even need to listen to tell how terrifying Xia Hong's fist is; you can see with your own eyes.

The terrifying shock wave created by the fist not only caused more than 30 houses in Mirror Valley to shake from side to side, but even people who were more than a hundred meters away could clearly feel the vibration of the ground.

"I heard someone say before that we are no different from five or six-year-old children in front of the leader, but I didn't believe it at that time."

"This is more than a five or six-year-old child. This is no different from a baby."

"If the leader punches with all his strength, I think he can kill us from a distance."

"Leader, you are too strong."

………………

"Is this the leader's true strength?"

If those people in the woodcutting and digging realms saw Xia Hong's divine power at this moment, they would only feel respect and excitement;
At this moment, Yuwen Tao felt shocked and horrified.

The weaker a person's cultivation is, the less clear their perception of strength is.

Others may not know what kind of terrifying strength Xia Hong is showing at this moment, but Yuwen Tao knows.

"He Yuanhun had forced Chen Yingyuan and his two companions to retreat before, but he didn't have the ability to fight against a high-level cold beast alone. The leader's strength..."

Feeling Xia Hong's true strength for the first time, Yuwen Tao's pupils were filled with horror and shock, as well as deep respect.

In fact, he, like the rest of the people in the Great Xia Camp, had a little enthusiasm for Xia Hong for the first time...
