Endless Winter: My Camp Infinite Upgrades

Chapter 307: Twists and turns, broken arms and heads, forced to withdraw
"Why did the underground temperature suddenly rise?"

"It came from the main building. Is it Da Xia's doing?"

"It doesn't look like a trick. This warmth seems quite comfortable!"

"The dew on my body has turned into water drops."

"I haven't even finished applying the fire condensing oil yet, and the dew is gone."

"Look at the body. The dew on the surface of the body has become transparent. It is not heating up."

………………

The Xia army will collect the bodies of the soldiers who died in battle, and the Longshan side will naturally do the same.

They also noticed that large areas of dew were appearing on the bodies of the dead soldiers and the wounds of the living soldiers. Li Xuanling immediately ordered the soldiers to take out the fire-condensing oil and start applying it.

Longshan still had a lot of the fire-condensing oil that he had bought from Daxia some time ago. When the army set out on this expedition, Li Xuanling specifically ordered everyone to take it with them.

A place behind the military camp where the bodies of soldiers who died in battle are temporarily stored.

Li Xuanling and other cold-resistant-level warriors watched with their own eyes as the dewdrops on the surface of the corpse, which had originally turned red and heated up, slowly disappeared as the temperature rose and turned into ordinary water droplets. Their expressions were both relaxed and solemn.

"Sure enough, Daxia's methods of dealing with monsters are much more powerful than ours. The temperature of the entire underground space has risen, and the wounds on the soldiers' bodies and the dewdrops growing on the surface of these corpses have all disappeared."

"It's not surprising. If they can come up with a magical item like Fire Condensing Oil, it's not surprising that Daxia has other more powerful treasures."

"The heat source is coming from the main building, so the treasure is in the main building?"

"This can be considered as helping us solve the Dew Plague. They probably can't control the radiation range of this heat source, otherwise they wouldn't be so kind."

"They have more casualties in the battle, and the dew drops are spreading faster. If we don't resolve this issue quickly, as soon as the dew drops on the bodies burst and catch fire, they will all die."

………………

"How is the second brother doing?"

Li Xuanling ignored the discussions of the people around him, and asked about Li Xuantian's situation in a gloomy tone.

Shortly after the temperature in the underground space rose, Li Xuantian suddenly fell into a coma.

"He is still unconscious. During the battle just now, the Second Young Master was only stabbed in the back. The wound was not too deep. How could he suddenly fall into a coma?"

Meng Ying quickly answered, his face full of confusion.

Not only him, but everyone else around him was also obviously puzzled by Li Xuantian's sudden coma.

"Send someone to watch! Once the dew problem is solved, let the army rest for half an hour. After half an hour, we will start the attack..."

"Captain Li, Xia Chuan has something important to discuss with you. I hope you will do me a favor!"

Before Li Xuanling could finish his words, he was interrupted by a sudden sound from the south side of the military camp. Everyone's face changed immediately and they all turned to look south.

"Xia Gou still dares to come over here, what a courage!"

"You really think you are Xia Hong, Chief, let me take him down."

…………

"No hurry, wait!"

Li Xuanling simply waved his hand, signaling everyone to stay calm. He stood there with a gloomy expression for a long time, and then slowly walked outside.

"I'll go over there, you guys notify the soldiers to be ready to attack at any time."

"Yes, leader!"

After giving the last order to everyone, Li Xuanling walked quickly towards the south.

The military camp was on the north side of the construction area. Li Xuanling only walked one kilometer south and saw Xia Chuan and Chen Yingyuan standing one in front of the other not far away.

Seeing Xia Chuan dressed in black not far away, with a normal complexion and breathing, and no signs of injury, a trace of doubt suddenly flashed across Li Xuanling's face.

When Li Xuanling noticed that Chen Yingyuan, who was wearing yellow clothes behind Xia Chuan, was in a similar situation, he immediately clenched his fists under his sleeves.

"Daxia's healing elixir is so effective!"

In the previous battle, she fought Xia Chuan and Chen Yingyuan alone. Li Xuanling knew very well how much damage her sword had caused to the two.

When she just came back from the withdrawal, she even felt that these two people were most likely not able to fight again. Even if they did, the injuries she caused could reduce most of their strength. If they fought again, she was confident that she could kill them directly.

But at this moment, the two of them did not show any signs of injury.

If this is the case with the two of them, then the other 17 cold-resistant-level people of Da Xia who were just counted have also almost recovered, right?
Li Xuanling's heart skipped a beat, and he didn't notice at all that he was still more than 200 meters away from Xia Chuan and the other man.

"Captain Li, has the dew plague disappeared in your military camp?"

Li Xuanling paused, looked up at Xia Chuan who was smiling, his expression slightly froze, a gloomy look appeared on his face, and no one knew what he was thinking.

"Captain Li, I have saved you, Longshan, in disguise.

You and I both know that there is something wrong with Li Xuantian. In the previous battle, you, Longshan, should have suffered a loss of about 600 people. If it happens again, you will suffer even more casualties. By then, there will be no need for Daxia to take action, as Li Xuantian will be able to take your lives.
Besides, my leader is leading his men to attack Longshan. Are you sure you want to waste time with me? It's only five hours before dawn. You can still lead the army to withdraw and go through the tunnel to support Longshan. But once dawn comes, you will have no chance at all.

Chief Li, listen to my advice and lead the army......"

"Are you afraid?"

Before Xia Chuan could finish his words, Li Xuanling suddenly interrupted him.

Seeing Xia Chuan's slightly stiff expression, Li Xuanling's eyes were filled with chills, and he said in a deep voice: "After fighting to this extent, do you think I will retreat?"

"Captain Li, Longshan is far inferior to Daxia in terms of casualties. In the previous battle, we lost nearly 3,000 people, even three of the Yuhan class were killed. The lives of people in Longshan are precious, and we Xia people are by no means worthless. If I didn't know that continuing to fight would only allow Bai Lugui to take advantage, I would never come to be a lobbyist!"

Xia Chuan acted pitifully at the beginning; in the middle, when he mentioned that the Xia people were by no means insignificant, there was a hint of hatred; at the end, when he said that he was there to be a lobbyist, his tone was full of helplessness and compromise. His words were eloquent and his face was full of sincerity. Anyone who came would probably think that he was trying to persuade them sincerely.

After saying this, Xia Chuan paused, his expression stern, and continued: "Monsters are the greatest enemy of mankind. Leader Li should be well aware of this. Just because Longshan killed so many of us tonight, there is no possibility for us to stop fighting and negotiate in the future. However, even so, I am only willing to fight Longshan on the battlefield. In the end, no matter who wins, the worst that can happen is that hundreds of thousands of people will change their names and live their lives as usual.

But Chief Li also saw the Dew Plague just now. That Bai Lu Gui couldn't help but attack. There are at least 3,000 corpses in the main area now. Once a fire breaks out, the fire oil can't suppress it. Only the Holy Cauldron left by our chief can suppress it. But if we continue to fight, Bai Lu Gui will have a chance to take advantage of it. In the end, all of us will die here..."

"There is a way!"

"Xia, I would like to hear Chief Li's opinion."

Xia Chuan was slightly stunned, and immediately looked at Li Xuanling with hope.

"Give me the holy tripod you mentioned, Longshan. Also, all the Xia troops in the main building must surrender. I can promise not to kill any of you. As long as everything is safe in Longshan and Xia Hong leads his men to withdraw from Longyou, we can keep our borders separate from each other and keep to ourselves."

When he heard the first sentence, Xia Chuan's pupils condensed slightly, but he still listened to Li Xuanling patiently to finish his words. At the end, his face was full of hesitation and struggle, as if he was really thinking about Li Xuanling's proposal.

"This... the Holy Tripod, surrender, is a matter of great importance, Xia has no right to make the decision. If Chief Li is trustworthy, Xia will send someone to Longshan to find our chief and ask him to make the decision. How do you think?"

"You're kidding me!"

roar…………

There was nothing wrong before. If Li Xuanling couldn't react after hearing the last sentence, she would be stupid. But as soon as she finished speaking, an extremely excited roar of a cold beast came from above her head.

"Advanced Snow Mane, how could it be possible!"

Li Xuanling's expression suddenly changed, and she looked up at the iron wall above the main area. She had rich hunting experience and immediately recognized that the roar was the voice of a high-level snowmane.

Xia Chuan was stunned for a moment, then he reacted and pulled Chen Yingyuan to retreat towards the main building. However, before he could retreat successfully, a beam of blood suddenly shot out from the ground and pierced his waist directly.

puff!

Xia Chuan was already seriously injured, and the blood pierced his waist. He was unable to avoid it and flew backwards fifty or sixty meters. If Chen Yingyuan had not run up to catch him in time, he would have flown directly to the side of Li Xuanling.

squeak squeak squeak squeak squeak squeak squeak squeak squeak

A slight squeak suddenly sounded from the ground where the red light had just been emitted, and then two sharp fangs suddenly pierced through the ground.

You know, the entire main area of ​​the hive is surrounded by iron walls. The fact that the fang can penetrate from the ground proves that the owner of this fang has penetrated the iron wall layer more than ten meters thick underground.

Mice can gnaw through the iron wall, so this is nothing.

The point is, they had just been talking for such a long time and I didn't hear anything.

This is the most terrifying thing!
Xia Chuan, Chen Yingyuan, and Li Xuanling who was not far away on the opposite side, all stared at the pair of fangs on the ground with serious expressions, not daring to blink.

rustling rustling...

A golden rat head about ten centimeters wide broke through the ground. Its two blood-red pupils, each as big as a bean, rolled around a few times, first glancing at the three people on the left and right, and then its gaze turned directly to the direction of the main building.

Its pupils were full of desire and greed. It was obvious that there was something in the main building that had a strong attraction for it.

Roar…roar…roar…

At the same time, more and more roars of cold beasts were heard from the top of the main area.

Now, not only Xia Chuan and Chen Yingyuan, but also Li Xuanling on the opposite side had a changed expression.

"Oh no! The Frostwolves, Snowmanes, and Demon Sheep are all coming down the tunnel!"

Xia Chuan's face was full of fear at this moment. He asked Yue Feng to light the Holy Cauldron, firstly to suppress the dew plague, and secondly to dispel the white mist created by the White Dew Ghost on the ground and disperse the cold beasts on the ground.

Of course he knew that the Holy Cauldron would attract cold beasts.

But he didn't know that the attraction was so high.

Mice originally live underground and are naturally good at digging holes, so it is not surprising that they were attracted here. However, other cold beasts do not live underground, and they actually came down along the tunnel as well.

More than a hundred meters underground, those high-level cold beasts can also sense it.

This is a high-level cold beast, one or two of them are enough to deal with.

Judging from the noise coming from above, there are probably more than ten of them.

High-level cold beasts are very small in size. The main area barrier has just been broken by rats, leaving many holes. The diameter of those holes is about one meter, which is enough to accommodate them.

Moreover, as long as the Holy Cauldron remains burning, the surrounding cold beasts will be attracted, so the longer the time, the greater the number will be.

If all of them come in, then everyone will be finished.

We must extinguish the Holy Cauldron quickly.

No, there is another way!
An idea suddenly flashed through Xia Chuan's mind. He turned around and looked at the Longyou military camp behind Li Xuanling, with a fierce look in his eyes.

"Chen Yingyuan, let's go back to the main building!"

Xia Chuan was no longer able to move and could only walk with the support of Chen Yingyuan, so as soon as he opened his mouth, Chen Yingyuan immediately took him to the main building.

laugh…………

The rat was three or four times faster than the two of them. It broke through the ground directly, turned into a golden light and rushed towards the main building.

"Brother, lead the army and attack the main building directly, quickly!"

Before Chen Yingyuan and Xia Chuan had walked far, they heard Li Xuanling's angry shout behind them. At the same time, a fierce sword sound came from behind them. Chen Yingyuan's expression changed suddenly, and he immediately took Xia Chuan and ran towards the main building.

"You two are both seriously injured, you are just pretending. You just spent so much time just now just to delay time. If you want to escape with others, you are dreaming!"

Fortunately, Xia Chuan had been controlling the distance. Although Li Xuanling reacted quickly, he still failed to catch up immediately. The two of them narrowly escaped into the army outside the main building.

"Xia Chuan, the Longyou Army is here, don't even think about running away with them!"

Xia Chuan, who had been pretending for a long time, finally couldn't hold it anymore. He turned his head with a pale face and stared at Li Xuanling. Looking at the Longyou Army rushing over behind her, he angrily shouted in a deep voice: "Li Xuanling, can't you hear the sounds of those high-level cold beasts above your head? They are about to come in. There is still hope for us to lead the Longyou Army to withdraw now. If you keep dragging it out like this, everyone in our two families will die!"

Li Xuanling stood outside the main building, his expression unchanged, looking at Xia Chuan and saying lightly: "These high-level cold beasts were attracted by the holy tripod, right? If you have a way to deal with them, I won't let you go!"

She paused for a moment and continued, "If all the Longyou troops are killed here today, don't even think about escaping. We might as well burn ourselves together. There are many cold-resistant troops in Longshan. When those high-level cold beasts come in, I can just take them and run away. If all the more than 20 cold-resistant troops of your Great Xia die here, you will be driven out of Longyou by us in the end!"

Seeing that Li Xuanling was becoming more and more crazy, Xia Chuan's expression became extremely conflicted.

The Longyou Army has already approached, and is only three or four hundred meters away from the main building. If they engage in battle at this time, everyone will be dead.

boom…………

The high-level rodent that had just broken through the ground had now climbed to the top floor of the main building, obviously trying to get close to the Hanxu Cauldron. Several injured cold-resistant-level soldiers of Daxia had already started fighting with it.

Before he came to find Li Xuanling, he instructed Yue Feng to open up the passage between the top of the main building and the ground. At this moment, Yue Feng should have led his men to escape to the ground through the passage, but there are nearly 6,000 people in Daxia, so it certainly won't be possible that quickly in a short period of time.

This is also the reason why he deliberately went to find Li Xuanling to delay time.

As soon as he realized that a high-level cold beast had come in, he planned not to put out the fire, so that Li Xuanling would definitely lead the Longyou Army to withdraw from the underground, and wait until as many people from Daxia as possible had escaped, and then put out the fire at the last moment.

But who knew that Li Xuanling was so crazy. He was sure that he had a way to deal with the high-level cold beasts. Not only did he not retreat, but he also brought a large army to attack in advance.

After putting out the fire of the Holy Cauldron, Bai Lugui will take action;

Immortal, the high-level cold beast is about to come in.

The problem is, no matter whether they are destroyed or not, this crazy woman Li Xuanling obviously has no intention of giving up and is determined to drag them to death here.

At this moment, Xia Chuan was not in a dilemma, but no matter what he did, it was useless.

"Mad man, mad man, you mad man, my elder brother has already conquered Longshan by now, even if you kill us all here, what can you do?"

"Conquer Longshan? What a joke. Xia Hong is strong, but relying on him and your 1000 Yunjiao soldiers, you want to conquer Longshan? You're just dreaming..."

"You're dreaming. Of course, 1000 Yunjiao soldiers can't break through Longshan, but what if we add Zhaoyang, Changning, Songyuan, Baiyuan, Dongkang, Xiling, and Yucheng, the seven families in the Digging Realm?"

Suddenly, a voice that was very familiar to everyone came from the top of the main building.

"Yuwen Tao is back!"

"Yuwen Sizheng's voice."

………………

Xia Chuan, Chen Yingyuan, Yuan Cheng, Qiu Peng, Lin Kai and the rest of the cold-resistant class from Da Xia, including all the digging-level people below, immediately recognized who the person was.

Yuwen Tao, dressed in black, holding a broadsword and a strong bow, first shot away the high-level rat that was fighting with Yuan Cheng and others, then took out a bundle from behind, threw it in the air, pulled out an iron arrow, aimed at a building in front of the Longyou army, and shot it directly.

Tuk Tuk

The bundle opened in the air, and a human head and a severed arm fell out of it. The iron arrow hit the two targets accurately, nailing the human head and the severed arm directly to the top of the building.

"That head is... Li Xuankong?"

"Lord Xuankong? Isn't he stationed at Longshan?"

"Didn't you hear? The leader of Daxia led 1000 Yunjiao troops to attack Longshan!"

"Whose is that broken arm?"

………………

The severed arm and the human head came into the sight of all the soldiers of the Longyou army, and they immediately identified the owner of the head.

Many smarter soldiers had already noticed what Yuwen Tao had just said, and most of the soldiers focused their attention on the severed arm.

The severed arm was covered with a white sleeve dotted with silver lines in the middle, and it was obvious that it was very precious. Although the severed arm was stained red with blood, the wrinkled state of the skin could still be seen, and the owner was obviously very old.

"That's my father's..."

"Shut up, idiot!"

Before Li Xuanping could finish his words, he was interrupted by Li Xuanling's angry voice.

However, the soldiers in Longyou were not stupid. Even without Li Xuanping's words, many of them could tell the identity of the owner of the severed arm by the white sleeve.

"That arm belongs to Patriarch Tiancheng!"

"Ancestor Tiancheng, your arm has been cut off, something happened in Longshan."

"Longshan was conquered by Xia Hong and his men?"

"How can 1000 Yunjiao soldiers possibly break through Longshan?"

"Didn't you hear? That person just said that the Digging Realm masters from the seven families, Zhaoyang, Changning, Songyuan, Baiyuan, Dongkang, Xiling, and Yucheng, all helped him."

………………

"The iron pile wall of Longshan was indeed powerful, but unfortunately the people were against it. The three families of Changning, Songyuan and Yucheng rebelled, and with the help of internal forces, the iron pile wall was breached in just one night.

Li Tiancheng had one arm chopped off by our leader, and one of the five cold-resistant soldiers left behind in your base was beheaded and three were seriously injured.

Right now, Li Tiancheng is leading the remaining 100,000 people to stop our leader with their lives. Li Xuanling, surrender. Longshan has been defeated. From now on, Longyou will be the territory of our Great Xia. "

As the soldiers in Longyou were discussing their issues, Yuwen Tao's voice sounded again from above the main building.

Yuwen Tao's words, coupled with the broken arm of Li Tiancheng and the head of Li Xuankong on the wall, instantly penetrated the defenses of the Longyou army soldiers.

"The base has been breached, why are we still fighting here?"

"Go back, hurry back to Longshan, my family is still here."

"The three families of Changning, Songyuan, and Yucheng were forcibly annexed by us after their leaders were killed. The three families of Digging Realm already have resentment in their hearts. Once they have external support, they are likely to rebel."

"Let's go back to Longshan. We can't stay here any longer!"

"There are still four hours until dawn. We have a chance to go back, leader."

"Captain, the base cannot be lost, withdraw the troops!"

........................

Not only did the soldiers request to withdraw and return to Longshan to provide support, but even several cold-resistant soldiers nearby could not help but speak up.

Li Xuanling clenched his fists tightly, turned his head and looked at the Great Xia main building on the south side. Although his expression was full of struggle and unwillingness, he finally loosened his fists and said slowly: "Withdraw!"

After she finished speaking, her expression suddenly became much more listless, as if saying these two words had drained all the strength from her body.
