Endless Winter: My Camp Infinite Upgrades

Chapter 33 Fighting Beasts
"Yuan Cheng and Lin Kai, go put out the fire. Xia Chuan and Yue Feng, the five of you follow me to the cave entrance. The rest of you, retreat inside, quickly!"

In the face of the sudden change, Xia Hong quickly made arrangements.

The cold beast is very close to the cave entrance, and it is unrealistic to run out.

What's more, it is still daytime. If they really run out, even those of them with the cultivation level of lumberjacks will not be able to withstand the extreme cold outside, let alone other people in the camp.

The cave is not big, but it is no problem for the crowd to move about ten meters inside.

"It's daytime now. If we put out the fire, they won't be able to hold out for long..."

Yuan Cheng was very confused when he heard the order, but the situation was critical and he didn't have time to ask. He finally asked a question after the fire was put out.

"Have you forgotten? The small torches we used when we went hunting with the chief came from this stove."

Upon hearing Lin Kai's answer, Yuan Cheng's expression immediately changed.

They had all seen with their own eyes the madness of the cold beast towards the little torch.

This stove is burning so fiercely. It would be disastrous if it was discovered by the cold beast.

"Fortunately, the leader reminded me, otherwise it would be terrible. I remember that the torch can not only heal the cold beast, but also improve its strength."

"Yuan Cheng, Lin Kai, come and help as soon as the fire is out!"

When the two heard Xia Chuan's voice, they rushed towards the cave entrance.

"Hurry up and bring some wood over to block the entrance to the cave, just in case."

The ground was still shaking. Xia Hong asked everyone to move all the trees stored in the cave to the center of the cave entrance. He walked to the side of the cave entrance and gently dug a small hole, wanting to see clearly what was outside.

The moment the small hole opened, a beam of light immediately shot in from outside.

There was no fire lighting up the cave, and it was completely dark.

It was daytime outside and sunlight was shining through the small holes, which was normal.

However, along with the beam of sunlight that shone into the cave, there was also a bone-chilling chill.

Xia Hong, who was closest to the small hole, could even see with his naked eyes that the dust and particles in the sunlight were condensing at an extremely terrifying speed. In just three or four breaths, they condensed into snowflakes out of thin air and then fell to the ground.

Xia Hong's pupils trembled slightly, and he tentatively extended his palm into the sunlight.

laugh…………

Almost at the moment when the sunlight shone on the palm, a piercing coldness suddenly rushed from the palm straight to the forehead. The area on the palm quickly turned blue, and even the blood inside stopped flowing.

Xia Hong's face changed slightly when he realized that his palm was beginning to go numb and was spreading to other parts of his body. He quickly pulled his hand back and rubbed it dozens of times before the numbness in his palm gradually disappeared.

"The daytime temperature can be so low. No wonder humans can only live in the shadows. Even if you have reached the Digging Realm, you probably can't walk freely in the sun."

Xia Hong shook his hands and after recovering as before, he focused his eyes on the small hole and looked outside.

The sun's attack on the skin was already so severe, let alone when it shone directly on the eyeballs. The moment the eyes met the small hole, a sharp pain suddenly rushed to the forehead. Xia Hong endured the pain and hurried to check the situation outside.

Upon seeing this, Xia Hong's heart sank to the bottom.

A huge goat-like creature with hexagonal limbs and a body length of five or six meters seemed to be frightened by something and was rushing towards the hillside frantically.

The giant beast was at least two meters tall at the shoulders. As it charged fiercely, not only the trees but even the small earth slopes along the way were plowed away.

"It's that sheep-shaped cold beast, it's rushing towards us!"

Xia Hong's eyes reached their limit, and he quickly retracted his body to seal the small hole.

When Xia Chuan and others heard this, their expressions suddenly changed.

They had all seen that sheep-shaped cold beast.

But every time I saw it at night, when the other party was sleeping on the Jinlin tree.

The sheep-shaped cold beast was too big, and Xia Hong didn't know much about it, so every time he hunted, he would deliberately avoid it.

"Don't worry. Although it's heading towards the slope, it may not be able to find our cave. Let's take a look at the situation first." The cold beast was very close to the cave entrance. Worried about being discovered, Xia Hong did not open the small hole, but led everyone to guard both sides of the cave entrance.

Everyone hoped that the cold beast would not be able to find the cave and would retreat on its own.

Bang…bang…bang…bang…

I don’t know if everyone’s prayers really worked, but the footsteps of the cold beast suddenly slowed down. It was not as violent as before, and from the sound, it was getting farther and farther away from the cave entrance.

Everyone's hearts finally calmed down a little.

"It must be an accident. The cold beast didn't find the cave, so it went back."

Only Xia Hong frowned, feeling that something was wrong.

Thinking of something, Xia Hong suddenly lay down with his ears to the ground.

After less than three breaths, Xia Hong's face changed in shock. He suddenly jumped up from the ground and shouted to everyone:

"Spread out to both sides!"

Everyone was startled and quickly retreated to both sides of the cave entrance.

boom……

Almost at the moment when the eight people retreated to both sides, six sharp corners instantly broke open the entrance of the cave. Not to mention the branches and grass that were originally used to block the entrance of the cave, even the wood that everyone had just moved was pierced by the sharp corners in an instant, turning into countless wood chips that flew all over the sky.

Under the violent impact, the entire entrance of the cave was damaged.

The deadly cold air seeped into the cave along with large swathes of sunlight. The eight people led by Xia Hong, who were closest to the cave entrance, were instantly covered with a layer of frost on their animal skin skirts.

"You guys retreat inside first, you can't fight it here at the entrance of the cave!"

Xia Hong asked the others to retreat, but he gritted his teeth, rushed forward first and grabbed the sharp horns of the cold beast.

After grabbing the sharp corner, Xia Hong was nearly knocked flying by the opponent. Even though he managed to stabilize his body, the violent attack of the cold beast knocked him back wildly.

But even so, Xia Hong still used his footsteps to constantly adjust the direction of the cold beast's charge, and retreated twenty or thirty meters. The direction of the cold beast's charge also changed from the inside of the cave to the left wall.

He certainly didn't rush forward to wrestle with the cold beast.

This sheep-shaped cold beast is much stronger than Snowmane just by looking at its size. With his current strength, which can only rival that of an adult Snowmane, he is sure to be unable to stop it.

He just wanted to change the direction of the cold beast's charge.

Everyone retreated inside. If the cold beast rushed in again, no one would be able to stop it with the impact it had just brought.

When it was about to hit the left wall, Xia Hong propped up his legs, pushed hard against the wall, released his right hand, pulled out a stone axe from his waist, and when the cold beast hit the right wall, he chopped at its head.

clang…………

However, the cold beast with horns on its head hardly even moved.

It just tilted its head slightly and used its horns to block Xia Hong's stone axe.

Not only did he hold it off, but he also smashed the stone axe in Xia Hong's hand.

Looking at the stone axe with only a wooden handle left in his hand, Xia Hong almost felt numb.

"Captain, take the axe!"

Xia Hong raised his hand to take the axe thrown by Xia Chuan, and then he felt relieved.

Xia Chuan, Yuan Cheng and others have already surrounded it. They hold ropes, three on each side, four on each side, and throw ropes to each other from both sides to tie up the cold beast. Then they work together to pull it back suddenly.

Even though the seven men were only at the lumberjack level, their combined strength was still astonishing. The cold beast's trunk was tied up and pulled so hard that it staggered and almost fell sideways.

roar…………

The cold beast forced itself to stabilize its body and roared, and the whole cave was filled with the sound. It found that it could not break free from the ropes in the hands of the people and could only form a stalemate with the other party. Its anger was obviously rising rapidly at an extremely fast speed.
