Endless Winter: My Camp Upgrades Infinitely

Chapter 300: Perseverance, Beast Tide Breaks the Barrier (Part 3)



Don't be fooled by the fact that all three of their fathers have Cold Resistance Level cultivation, important resources like the Hundred Forged Level Saber aren't something you can obtain easily, let alone the highly strategic resource of the Hundred Forged Battle Armor.

The three broke through to the Earth-digging Realm just half a year ago, and although they've already joined the Hunting Team and amassed considerable wealth, it's not like they could have easily switched to the Hundred-forged Great Blade.

The issue is that Hundred Forged Level Weapons aren't cabbages; even if the Craftsmen Department forges them, it takes time. Every batch sent to the Camp Supply Department is immediately snapped up, leading to a supply shortage.

To deal with this situation, the Camp Supply Department has had to establish a rule prioritizing those with higher Basic Strength for exchange, so even now, none of the three have gotten hold of the Hundred-forged Great Blade.

As for the battle armor, don't even think about it. If not for this haul from Longyou, not even all members of the Cloud Dragon Army have been fully equipped, let alone individuals like them.

This time, 7,000 of them have been dispatched to garrison the Beehive and engage in a bitter struggle with the Longyou Army.

The 2,500 sets of war armor and numerous weapons captured in Longyou earlier are naturally put to use, but with so many people, they can only be distributed based on cultivation level.

The Basic Strengths of the three are only a little over eighteen thousand, so battle armor is out of the question. Finally, Zhu Kang and Hong Yu each received a Hundred-forged Great Blade, and Meng Ao, due to his decent archery, was given a strong bow of thirty stone strength.

"This thirty-stone strong bow, I alone can't..."

"Squeak, squeak, squeak..."

Meng Ao was about to speak when he was suddenly interrupted by a rustling noise outside the iron wall. At first, he thought he misheard, but when he looked up, he found that both Hong Yu and Zhu Kang had stopped to look at the iron wall, too.

"Did you hear that too?"

"Heard it, sounds like something's gnawing."

"Gnawing? Impossible, there's an iron wall here!"

Meng Ao frowned, and after the three exchanged glances, they walked up to the iron wall and pressed their ears against it, closing their eyes to listen closely.

"Squeak, squeak, squeak..."

No mistake, there really is a sound!

After stepping back, the three of them had noticeably grimmer expressions.

"This sound seems a bit familiar."

"Just over three meters away."

"Damn, it's the sound of Long-tailed Rodents. The Cold Beast Record mentions that their teeth are sharper than iron and they gnaw incredibly quickly."

Zhu Kang suddenly realized and exclaimed in alarm:

"Hong Yu, quickly notify the surrounding people to gather. Meng Ao, go inform Uncle Meng and have him urgently report to the Minister that Cold Beasts are here."

The more than five thousand people responsible for patrolling the main area's surrounding bulwarks are divided into three sections. The 1,700 on the southwestern side are under the command of Meng Ao's father, Meng Yi, which is why Zhu Kang instructed Meng Ao to inform Meng Yi.

"Everyone come over, gather quickly."

Hong Yu immediately started calling people over to gather, while Meng Ao turned and went to find his father Meng Yi to report the situation.

Squeak, squeak, squeak...

Zhu Kang continued to press against the iron wall, listening to the sounds from outside, and noticing the noises approaching faster, his expression grew increasingly grave.

At this critical moment, how could there be Long-tailed Rodents?

Long Mountain can even control Cold Beasts to help break the iron wall—how is that possible?

Hong Yu moved swiftly; in just a few breaths, the hundreds of Earth-digging Realm responsible for patrolling the area had all gathered, everyone nervously watching the iron wall as they waited for dozens of breaths. Meng Ao had also returned with his father Meng Yi, who had a gloomy expression.

"Uncle Meng!"

"There's no need for formalities, did you hear it here too?"

Zhu Kang saw Meng Yi and immediately prepared to bow out of respect, but before he could do so, Meng Yi interrupted him.

Did you hear it too?

Noticing the word "too," Zhu Kang's expression immediately tensed.

It's not just this location.

Meng Yi didn't wait for a response and immediately walked over to press his ear against the iron wall. After listening for a moment, his already unpleasant expression became even grimmer.

"It's a Long-tailed Rodent. Judging by the gnawing speed, it must be a low-level one. That Long Mountain can control Cold Beasts—how is that even possible?"

"Uncle Meng, is it not just this area being gnawed by rodents?"

Unable to contain his curiosity, Zhu Kang asked directly.

Meng Yi nodded at his words and spoke seriously, "Around the main area's four corner bastions, six locations have already heard the sound. You are the seventh."

Long Mountain can truly control Cold Beasts!

This completely defies reason—how can it be?

Bang...

While Zhu Kang and the others wondered in shock and uncertainty, a massive silver object fell from above the structures of the main area, hitting the ground with a thunderous crash.

"Guard this spot. As soon as the rodents show their heads, slay them immediately!"

With his expression drastically changed, Meng Yi ordered everyone, then led a dozen people rushing towards the architectural area.

"That's definitely a Long-tailed Rodent, right?"

"Absolutely, silver fur and fleshy tail, a rodent has already breached the barrier."

"So, the Longyou Army can break in at any moment?"

Zhu Kang, Meng Ao, Hong Yu, and the surrounding hundreds of Earth-digging Realm all had their expressions become significantly grimmer.

......

With a slash!

Beneath the main area's architecture, the scurrying rodent was decapitated by Xia Chuan, splattering pale green blood everywhere.

However, after slaying the rodent, Xia Chuan's face showed no trace of joy. Instead, he looked up at the large hole above, his expression exceedingly serious.

"Mu Dong, can you patch this hole up in a short period?"

"No way, such a large hole would require at least hundreds of thousands of catties of molten iron, which can't be produced quickly."

"Then there's no way around it. Hong Guang, take five hundred people to watch this hole. As soon as the Longyou Army comes in, engage immediately and use a whistle to call for backup if needed."
