Endless Winter: My Camp Infinite Upgrades

Chapter 439 The Azure Wind Treasure Tree, General Black Wind and the Toll, Bloodthirst and Saving Lives
The 25th day of the eighth month in the ninth year of the Great Xia Dynasty, at night

Waaaaah...

The bone-corroding path, with its piercing sounds amidst the raging black winds, resembled the blaring of a whistle.

Dressed in black, Xia Hong's brows furrowed slightly as he slowly walked north. Black winds, like blades, swept in from all directions, and he carefully mobilized his bone energy to resist the onslaught of the bone-scraping black winds.

"Zhu Yan's strength is only 19 jun. At a distance of two kilometers, he won't be able to detect me unless I release my full bone energy. Although two kilometers is beyond my line of sight, the temperature in the Bone Corrosion Path is too low. The temperature change he causes will leave him standing still for a while. It's not difficult to follow behind him!"

Xia Hong looked up at the north side and found that Zhu Yan was no longer visible. His brows furrowed slightly, but after a moment of thought, they quickly relaxed. He continued walking forward along the area with higher temperatures.

On the sixth day of the eighth lunar month, he had already explored the Bone-Eating Path as soon as he arrived at Jinyang Village, so he was no stranger to the black wind that was currently surrounding his body.

This black wind is incredibly powerful. A casual gust can generate an impact force of half a jin (a unit of weight), and the most violent gusts can even reach more than two jin. With such an impact force, let alone flying, even a slightly weaker Xianyang-level cultivator would have difficulty jumping.

Secondly, there's the sharpness. You can get a general idea just from the whistling sound of the wind. Ordinary airflow compressed to this extent is nothing special, but when combined with a force of 2 jun (a unit of weight), it becomes terrifying.

Finally, there's the temperature. Interestingly, because the Bone-Eroding Path is flanked by the Mo'ao Mountain, the cold sunlight from above can't penetrate. Normally, the temperature in such an area should be a bit higher than outside, but due to the black wind, the temperature here is several times lower than outside.

Given these three points, it would be virtually impossible for someone at the Cold Resistance level to traverse this place on their own.

At this point, Xia Hong understood why Cai Qiu, knowing about this passage, did not send troops south in a large-scale offensive.

"The mountains on the east and west sides are probably tens of thousands of meters high at their highest points. It is basically impossible to cross them. Even a Xianyang-level cultivator could not fly over them. If there is no other passage, Cai Qiu can only take the Bone-Eating Path."

Even a 19-jun Xianyang-level being so cautious, it's absolutely impossible for them to send a large number of people, and besides…”

Xia Hong frowned and looked ahead, a thoughtful expression on his face.

He had been following Zhu Yan for an hour, traveling about 15 kilometers north. This speed would be no different from crawling on his knees in the outside world, but it was a completely different story in the Bone-Eroding Path with its terrifying winds.

Xia Hong is now deliberately slowing down and hanging behind Zhu Yan, but he can roughly estimate that if he were to go all out, he could probably walk about 40 kilometers in an hour.

Zhu Yan's strength of 19 jun is about half that of him, and he has already moved forward 17 kilometers. This means that Zhu Yan has been moving forward at his limit since he entered.

"So there are probably other dangers in this Bone-Corroding Path, that even those at the Manifestation Yang level need to be wary of?"

Xia Hong pondered for a moment, his expression slightly solemn. He then took out the Shattered Star Sword from the bundle behind him, made some preparations, hung it on his waist, and continued to follow.

"If Zhu Yan can leave, then he probably won't pose too much of a threat to me. Better safe than sorry, it's best to be cautious!"

Xia Hong continued to follow behind Zhu Yan, and they walked for another two hours. The wind force he felt was getting stronger and stronger, from half a jun at the entrance to 2 jun in the 20-kilometer area, and then to the 50-kilometer area, where the strongest wind force actually reached an astonishing 5 jun or more.

Waaaaahh ...

"No wonder he needed three hours to recover after bringing those fifty-odd people over. Given the wind strength, it's already impressive that he could bring people over at all. How did he manage to bring over fifty people in one go?"

Xia Hong's ears stung from the black wind, and as he kept walking, a deep sense of confusion appeared in his eyes.

It's no secret that a Yang-level being can release skeletal energy, drive away surrounding air currents, and significantly increase the temperature around the body. Zhu Yan was able to lead those 50-plus people through the Bone-Eroding Passage using this very method.

The problem is, at this wind force level, Xia Hong admitted that even if he brought more than 50 people, it would be a bit risky. How could Zhu Yan, with his strength of 19 jun, actually manage to do it?

"There must be some kind of elixir that can quickly restore bones..."

Xia Hong made only a slight guess before a patch of blue in his field of vision caught his attention.

"That's... a tree?"

It wasn't just a smear; it should be described as a patch of blue.

To the left and right in front, a large patch of green vegetation resembling trees appeared.

It is said to resemble a tree because its straight trunk is indeed no different from that of an ordinary tree. It is entirely green, with varying diameters, ranging from about five or six meters to more than ten meters, and all over one hundred meters in height.

These plants, like ordinary trees, grow underground, but strangely, they are connected to the ground by a section of green vine about the thickness of a thumb.

Indeed, these trees, like seaweed in the water, were blown into the air by the black wind, all swaying precariously, as if they would be blown away at any moment. They were held firmly to the ground by a section of green vine about the thickness of a thumb.

Xia Hong stared at the tendons for a while, and his eyes lit up.

With such terrifying wind force, how incredibly resilient must these green vines be to hold the main trunk from flying away?

It's not just the vines that are strong; it's also impressive that the main trunk can withstand being blown apart!

Moreover, some of the green vegetation was covered with fist-sized, jade-colored fruits, which were clearly not ordinary.

"No, the fact that it can grow in this environment already speaks volumes. This giant green tree is probably a treasure trove from top to bottom..."

A fiery glint appeared in Xia Hong's eyes. Sensing that Zhu Yan's speed ahead was still very slow, he walked directly toward the big tree without the slightest hesitation.

…………

"This Azure Sun Treasure Tree is worth over a million taels of silver. If we could cut down a few and take them back, we would become incredibly wealthy!"

Just as Xia Hong paused to admire the large blue tree behind him, Zhu Yan, who was two kilometers ahead, was also staring at the tree with burning desire in his eyes.

But soon, he realized something, shook his head slightly, withdrew his gaze, and continued on his way. However, after only a few steps, a look of confusion appeared on his face.

"The wind in this core area seems stronger than usual. The airflow is almost 5 jun (a unit of weight) strong, isn't it?"

Or am I just imagining things?
Zhu Yan frowned, muttered a sentence, and then quickened his pace.

call…………

He had only taken a hundred meters or so when a black aura mixed in the wind suddenly swept towards his face.

A black aura swept towards him, and Zhu Yan's pupils suddenly contracted. His aura instantly surged, and he swiftly drew his broadsword from his waist to block.

Clang...

The black energy collided with the broadsword, and Zhu Yan was sent flying backward fifty or sixty meters like a kite with its string cut.

Unable to regain his balance immediately, he even circled several times in mid-air before finally standing up. He then looked up and quickly surveyed his surroundings, his face filled with horror and fear.

"I've already paid half the toll, and I'll pay the other half as soon as I get out of the Bone-Corroding Path. Why are you attacking me here?"

As soon as Zhu Yan finished speaking, the wind continued to howl all around, and there was no sound at all.

But he dared not go any further. He simply stood still, looking around at himself with an extremely tense expression, clearly worried that the Black Wind he mentioned might strike again.

Whoosh whoosh…

Three or four breaths later, countless black streams suddenly accelerated and converged frantically towards the area more than a hundred meters above Zhu Yan's head.

The black currents seemed to come alive, and soon gathered above his head into a burly giant six meters tall.

The six-meter-tall giant wore a black helmet and black armor. Thick black smoke constantly emanated from the parts of its face, neck, and wrists that were not covered by the armor, making it look like an ancient evil spirit.

It hovered in mid-air, its white pupils staring intently at Zhu Yan below, even though it didn't say a word. Zhu Yan was already trembling slightly with fear.

Zhu Yan's back was already soaked with sweat, but he could feel the wind around him picking up and realized the Black Wind General's anger. He gritted his teeth, quickly put down his broadsword, clasped his hands and bowed to the sky, saying respectfully, "Zhu Yan, Military Advisor of Baishui County, Caiqiu, pays respects to the Black Wind General."

"After you get out, don't forget the other half of the toll fee. Get out!"

A deep, rough voice suddenly came from General Black Wind. Zhu Yan was so startled that he shuddered. When he heard the last word, "get lost," he didn't dare to show any anger. He just lowered his head and quickly flew north.

call…………

After Zhu Yan retreated, the Black Wind General in mid-air slowly turned his head to look south. His pale white pupils narrowed slightly, and two thick streams of black energy suddenly burst forth from his face.

About ten minutes later, another figure slowly walked in from the south.

"The aura fluctuated here, what's going on?"

Xia Hong had already sensed Zhu Yan's aura fluctuations. He walked to the spot where Zhu Yan had just been, turned around and looked around. Finding nothing but Black Wind, he only frowned slightly before continuing forward.

call…………

He hadn't taken more than two steps when his pupils suddenly narrowed. He swiftly drew the Shattered Star Sword from his waist, a fierce look on his face, and slashed it fiercely behind him.

Clang...

His sword, though colliding with the black airflow, produced a loud clanging sound, clearly indicating that something was hidden within the black wind. Xia Hong was quick to react.

Without the slightest hesitation, the sacred mark between his brows suddenly appeared, a glimmer of light flashed in his left pupil, and he gripped the already unsheathed Shattered Star Sword, flying straight towards the black mist.

call out…………

The thing in the black mist clearly hadn't expected Xia Hong to dare to attack it first, and it certainly hadn't expected Xia Hong to be able to pinpoint its location so precisely amidst the overwhelming black mist.

laugh…………

The Shattering Star Sword did indeed slash something; a long, fiery sword mark suddenly appeared in the black mist, but what seeped out was not blood, but an even denser black mist.

"Be bold!"

A muffled sound came from the black mist. Xia Hong, who was already more than 20 meters above the ground, still had a fierce look on his face. He could see clearly with his left eye that there was a stream of air in the black mist that was much denser than the other areas.

"Let's see what kind of monster you really are!"

Xia Hong let out a cold shout and flew towards the mass of air again. His Shattered Star Sword, coated with Fire Condensation Oil, left a long blade trail in mid-air and stabbed straight at the black mist.

However, the other party clearly realized what was happening this time.

A large blade shrouded in black mist suddenly slashed horizontally, accompanied by a surge of air, and collided precisely with Xia Hong's longsword.

boom…………

The two objects collided, and Xia Hong's body was suddenly thrown back more than ten meters, while the opponent's black knife was only touched by the fire oil and sparked a little.

"Humph!"

A cold snort came from the black mist, and soon the part that was on fire was stripped away along with the airflow.

"Your power surpasses mine, a hundred jun, perhaps even more..."

Xia Hong, who had retreated more than ten meters away, had a solemn expression on his face. His pupils contracted slightly, especially when he saw that the other party was able to peel off the fire-condensing oil.

"Where's your toll?"

The muffled sound from the black mist rang out again, and a six-meter-tall, armored giant dressed as a general, emanating black mist, finally came into Xia Hong's view.

It's not strange that monsters can communicate, so when he heard the other party's question, Xia Hong didn't show any surprise on his face. He just frowned slightly and asked, "I'm new here. May I ask what the toll is?"

call…………

The armored giant clearly had very little patience. Upon hearing Xia Hong's question, it immediately exhaled two thick breaths from its face, and its body visibly swelled slightly. Then, it suddenly raised its greatsword and charged towards Xia Hong.

Waaaaah...

As the Black Wind General moved his broadsword, the black energy within the Bone-Corroding Path stirred, as if hundreds or thousands of black blades were simultaneously attacking Xia Hong's face from mid-air.

The force of the airflow in this bone-corroding passage is easily two or three jun (a unit of weight), and this is the core area, where the force is basically over five jun. This is equivalent to thousands of Xianyang level cultivators with the strength of five jun, plus one person whose strength may be over a hundred jun, all attacking him at the same time.

As thousands of blades attacked, Xia Hong's pupils shrank and his face turned pale. Without the slightest hesitation, he immediately retreated to the north to avoid them.

"Run? You think you can escape, you little reptile!"

Black Wind General let out a muffled groan. The blade, which was originally five or six meters away from Xia Hong, suddenly disappeared from its original spot and appeared above Xia Hong's head in the next second, slashing down fiercely towards his head.

"Teleportation, no, it can change its position at will within the black mist!"

Xia Hong's expression changed drastically. Seeing the Black Wind General's body gradually taking shape behind the blade, he instantly understood its teleportation mechanism.

But even if I see this now, it won't help him much.

As the blade fell from above, a ruthless look appeared on Xia Hong's face. He stopped abruptly, grabbed the sword with both hands, pushed off the ground with both feet, straightened his waist, and raised the sword horizontally to block in front of him.

boom…………

The moment the black blade pressed down, Xia Hong was almost halfway embedded in the ground, and the Shattering Star Sword was pressed down from the top of his head to his chest, tearing through his flesh and seeping down three or four inches, almost touching his bones.

Hmm……

More than a hundred jun, absolutely more than a hundred jun!

Xia Hong grunted, confirming the strength of the Black Wind General. His pupils were filled with fear and horror. Seeing the thousands of blades following closely behind the black blade, he hesitated for a moment. A strong light suddenly shot out from his left eye and rushed towards the face of the Black Wind General.

General Black Wind's intention was clear: to suppress Xia Hong's body and then let the thousands of black blades deliver a fatal blow to Xia Hong. So even though he saw the intense light shooting out of Xia Hong's pupils, he did not move but tried to withstand it head-on.

laugh…………

Unfortunately, he only realized his mistake the moment the bright light shone directly into his face.

"Ah...ah..."

The shattering divine light pierced his face. General Black Wind first let out a scream, then realized what was happening, and his voice suddenly turned tragic and painful.

His imposing six-meter-tall physique, originally formed from black energy, began to dissipate rapidly after being struck by the shattering divine light.

"The Demon Lord of Qishan... the Yin-Yang Mirror of the Demon Lord of Qishan, how could you have this thing? How is this possible? Ah... ah..."

Black Wind General sheathed his greatsword, howling in agony, his voice filled with terror. He frantically stripped away the black energy, trying to maintain his faltering body. His original six-meter-tall stature quickly dwindled to just over five meters.

call out…………

As for Xia Hong, as soon as General Black Wind sheathed his greatsword, he immediately endured the excruciating pain in his chest and frantically fled north, attempting to escape.

"Don't even think about running away, don't even think about running away, Yin-Yang Mirror, Yin-Yang Mirror, hehehehe..."

Unfortunately, Xia Hong underestimated the strength of General Black Wind. In less than four or five breaths, he completely separated the part of his body that was affected by the Shattering Divine Light. Although his body was weakened to only a little over four meters tall, after a few cruel laughs, the black energy from all directions gathered towards his body again, and he quickly recovered to a six-meter-tall body.

General Black Wind kept chanting about the Yin-Yang Mirror, his voice filled with greed and even a hint of madness. His body suddenly trembled, and he chased after Xia Hong.

"Snatch the Yin-Yang Mirror and present it to the Madam; a great reward awaits!"

"If I hadn't mentioned Cai Qiu's name in time, I probably wouldn't have been able to get out. Why would General Black Wind show himself like this?"

Zhu Yan, who had just stepped out of the north exit of the Bone-Eating Path, turned his head to look at the black mist-shrouded Bone-Eating Path behind him, his pupils filled with fear and confusion.

"Does this Black Wind General intend to expand the Bone-Eating Path further north? No, I must hurry back and report to the Prefect!"

Zhu Yan's expression was extremely solemn. He looked up at the dark night, roughly determined his location, and immediately turned and flew westward.

After flying only four or five kilometers north, he found a group of soldiers of about fifty men.

More than fifty soldiers, fully armed, were guarding the entrance of a cave. When they saw someone flying over from mid-air, they immediately became alert. They only relaxed when they realized that the person was Zhu Yan.

A middle-aged man, clearly the leader, clad in forged armor, stepped forward first and bowed deeply to Zhu Yan: "He Qing greets Military Advisor!"

Zhu Yan nodded, then glanced into the cave entrance and said coldly, "I have urgent business to attend to and need to return to the county town first. After you send the people over there, you can return."

"I obey my orders!"

He Qing bowed to accept the order, only to find that Zhu Yan had already disappeared when he looked up.

He turned to look at the fifty-odd soldiers behind him and said directly, "Drive everyone out of the cave and take them to the Bone-Eroding Path, quickly!"

More than fifty soldiers responded to the sound and quickly entered the cave.

"You beasts, get up!"

Snapped……

"Don't sleep anymore, it's time to get going."

boom……

"Get up quickly."

"A bunch of beasts, get up right now!"

………………

Swearing, whipping, shouting, beatings... As sounds continued to come from inside the cave, soon more than 50 soldiers escorted out one after another young men around 20 years old.

These young men, though their faces showed fear and panic, and their demeanor appeared submissive under the threats and shouts of the soldiers, were actually quite well-built, clearly possessing some level of cultivation. They were also wearing cotton-padded clothes, and a few even had weapons hanging from their waists.

"Get the hell forward!"

He Qing led more than fifty soldiers, herding the 500 young men southward toward the Bone-Eroding Road, like driving a flock of sheep.

"My lord, spare me! I don't want to die, I don't want to die!"

"I am willing to go to Baishui City and be registered as a lowly person, I only beg you, sir, to spare my life."

"Please spare me, sir."

Snapped……

"If you dare to utter another word, I'll kill you all right here."

"Get up and keep moving forward!"

…………

Clearly, these 500 young people are aware of their fate.

Most of them had despair on their faces. A few couldn't help but kneel down and beg the soldiers for mercy, but all they got in return was whipping and beating. After a few rounds, they didn't dare to beg for mercy anymore and could only continue to move forward.

The area where the soldiers were stationed was less than five kilometers away from the Bone-Eating Road. More than 500 people were escorted to the entrance of the Bone-Eating Road by the soldiers in just over half an hour.

Upon seeing the bone-corroding path shrouded in black mist more than ten meters away, many young people's legs went weak. Even those who tried to appear calm couldn't hide the horror and fear in their eyes, which betrayed their inner turmoil.

"Alright, all of you, get inside!"

He Qing walked directly to a group of young people in the front row, drew his broadsword from his waist, pointed it at the Bone-Eating Path, and then sternly forced them to go inside.

The group of young people in the front row had faces full of fear and terror. One of them was so scared that he turned around and knelt down in front of He Qing, obviously begging for mercy.

"You dare to come again!"

However, He Qing didn't give him a chance at all.

With a furious curse, He Qing lifted the young man up and threw him into the Bone-Corroding Path.

call…………

The moment the young man was thrown in, the black wind immediately stripped him of all flesh and blood, leaving only a set of stark white bones, and he collapsed to the ground.

"Get in here, all of you! Anyone who dares to utter another word..."

"Brothers, we're all going to die anyway, let's fight them!"

"We have five hundred people. If we give it a shot, we might have a chance."

"Yes, don't listen to them, fight these scoundrels!"

…………

Four or five young men in the group suddenly roared, interrupting He Qing's threat and seemingly igniting the will to survive in the other young men. They all turned to look at the armored soldiers around them, and their pent-up anger burst forth, letting out a series of roars.

"Fight them."

"Since we're all going to die anyway, it's good to be able to take a bite out of them."

"What kind of bullshit Caiqiu County Guards are they? They're just a bunch of scoundrels who treat human life like dirt."

"Brothers, let's fight them!"

………………

The more than 500 people were filled with righteous indignation. After a series of angry roars, they actually charged towards the armored soldiers in all directions.

Most of them were unarmed, so they charged at the soldiers with their bare hands.

That charge had dire consequences.

"Even a herd of livestock wants to turn the world upside down. Leave them with a breath left, then throw them all in!"

He Qing seemed to have anticipated this scene. He showed no surprise on his face, but just grinned and gave orders to his soldiers. Then he leaped into the middle of the crowd, grabbed people and threw them into the Bone-Corroding Passage.

"A bunch of brats who aren't even at the cold-resistant level think they can turn the world upside down."

"Hehe, come on, brothers, let's have a contest and see who loses the most!"

"Great! Hahaha, the one in last place, you'll have to treat us to drinks when we get back to Baishui!"

"Keep an eye on those four in the middle; they're the ones who instigated this."

"There's another woman, hehe, let's keep her for a while and have some fun first."

………………

The fifty-odd soldiers who received the order acted like wolves surrounding a flock of sheep. In order to prevent the young men in the middle from escaping, they didn't even rush in, but just grabbed people from the outside and threw them in.

In less than a hundred breaths, they had thrown in more than half of the five hundred people.

"29."

"So many, and I only have 12."

"Don't even think about catching him, break his arms and legs first before throwing him in."

"Hahaha, that makes sense."

………………

As the soldiers continued to laugh cruelly, the remaining two hundred or so young men had long since lost their courage, their pupils filled only with panic and fear, and there were hardly any left who were still putting up a fight.

"Xing'er, I'll break through that way with the second and third brothers, you run!"

From the west side of the crowd, an armored soldier suddenly slammed his fists down. Before Su Xing'er could react, she was knocked away by her older brother, Su Jing.

Click...

"Big brother!"

When Su Xing'er saw that her older brother Su Jing's left arm had been severed by a soldier's knife in order to save her, she let out a mournful cry and her face was covered with tears.

boom……

However, Su Jing's basic strength was only over 6 jin. How could he compare to that soldier of the Cold Resistance level? His left arm being cut off was just the beginning.

The soldier abruptly sheathed his broadsword, grabbed Su Jing by the throat with his right hand, and threw him towards the direction of the Bone-Eroding Path.

At the critical moment, the second brother Su Xu and the third brother Su Zhi rushed over. One grabbed the soldier's right arm, and the other wrapped his arms around the soldier's neck, desperately restraining the soldier and preventing him from throwing Su Jing over.

"You little bastard... Ah!"

The soldier, held captive by the two brothers, remained calm. He let out a sinister laugh and suddenly jerked his body, trying to shake them off. But as soon as he moved, he let out a scream.

It turned out to be the third brother, Su Zhi, who pulled out a dagger from somewhere and stabbed it into his left eye.

Although the soldier possessed the strength of an 8-mane warrior, his eyeball was still a vulnerable area. Caught off guard by the sudden stab, he quickly mobilized his blood and qi to protect the flesh around his eye and prevent the dagger from continuing to penetrate his skull, but his eyeball was still destroyed.

"You little bastard, you little bastard, you little bastard..."

With one eye gouged out, the soldier's emotions instantly spiraled into madness, sealing his fate and ruining his future. The worst part was that his future was ruined by four young men at the peak of the Earth Digging Realm. One can only imagine the rage he felt at that moment.

boom…………

In his frenzied rage, he shook off the two people clinging to him, looked down at the beautiful Su Xing'er not far to his side, and instantly thought of countless ways to take revenge.

He was gripping Su Jing's neck with his right hand. Although he wanted to twist it off, he remembered the captain's order and roared, throwing Su Jing towards the direction of the Bone-Eating Path.

"You dare to ruin my eyes? I'll play with this bitch until she's on her last breath right in front of you all, ahhhhh!"

Tear...

The soldier roared and ignored Su Xu and Su Zhi on the ground. Instead, he rushed to Su Xing'er's side, picked her up, and tore off her clothes, clearly intending to assault her.

"Save me! Save me! Big brother! Second brother! Third brother! Save Xing'er!"

"Hehehehe, save you? What can they do to save you? I'm going to keep them alive and see how I play with you, you bastards!"

Rather than being driven by lust, the soldier was completely consumed by anger. He wanted to vent his anger in this way to alleviate the pain of losing his left eye.

"do not want!"

"Xing'er..."

When Su Xu and Su Zhi saw that the soldier had already stripped half of Su Xing'er's clothes off, and heard their sister's helpless cries for help, their eyes were filled with despair and resentment, and they almost bit their lips until they bled.

Pfft...

However, just as the soldier was about to strip away Su Xing'er's last fig leaf.

A stone suddenly flew out of the Bone-Eroding Passage, piercing straight through the soldier's forehead and freezing him completely in place.

"who!"

"Wasn't that kid thrown in?"

"Why are you out again?"

………………

He Qing was the first to notice the stone. He turned his head sharply towards the direction of the Bone-Eroding Path, a look of surprise on his face.

Seeing Su Jing, who had just been thrown in by that soldier, walk out of the Black Wind Zone of the Bone-Corroding Path unharmed, the soldiers froze in shock.

boom…………

The next second, a young man in black suddenly flew out of the Bone-Corroding Path.

No, it's more accurate to say it was ejected rather than flown out.

The young man was dressed in black, holding a starlight-infused longsword. His face was deathly pale, and blood stained half of his body on his chest. After being ejected, he was thrown dozens of meters north and crashed into the snow.

puff…………

The young man's breathing became extremely disordered. After collapsing to the ground, he suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood. He then turned his head to look in the direction of the Bone-Eroding Path, his pupils filled with horror.

"It can't get out?"

But soon, the young man realized something, and the horror in his eyes vanished instantly, replaced by a look of great joy.

However, the joy did not last long.

The young man turned to look at He Qing and his soldiers, his expression suddenly turning extremely cold.

"So that's what toll fees mean!"
