Endless Winter: My Camp Upgrades Infinitely

293: Chapter 162: Once and For All, Victory_2 293: Chapter 162: Once and For All, Victory_2 The remaining forty-plus Earth-digging Realm individuals continued to shoot arrows, killing those who had already run far away.

…

On the other side, Gao Yu had long since been forced to the south side of the valley by Xia Hong.

The Yi Blade slashed horizontally towards his pupils, and He Yuanhun dodged sideways, barely avoiding the blade.

Seeing the black grease smeared on the Yi Blade, a look of horror flashed in his eyes, and he was filled with dread.

“He already guessed it was me.

He didn’t show up for so long earlier just to find me.

The furnace could have been extinguished long ago; he deliberately kept it burning to deceive me, making me think this furnace had to be lit by someone!”

Bang…

He Yuanhun, both shocked and fearful, dodged the long blade, but his chest was struck by Xia Hong’s relentless punch.

The terrifying force caused his chest to cave in instantly, and he was once again flung like a cannonball into the southern side of the mountain.

It should be known that this place isn’t far from the southern iron ore cave, and the stones within the nearby mountains are much harder than elsewhere.

Yet even so, Xia Hong’s punch still drove him seven or eight meters deep into the mountain.

Pfft…

He spat out a mouthful of reverse blood, raised his head to look at the relentless Xia Hong, and besides ferocity and anger in his eyes, there was even more intense fear.

Everything tonight was originally within his plan.

He controlled four Intermediate Cold Beasts to launch this cold beast tide of four groups, assaulting the Great Xia Camp to force them to extinguish the iron refining furnace’s fire.

With the size of this cold beast tide, he was well aware it was unlikely to destroy Great Xia.

But forcing the other side to extinguish the fire wasn’t difficult.

Once achieving this step, he could easily crush Great Xia with his over two hundred men.

Everything went smoothly; even half an hour ago, when he was hiding over the valley observing the situation below and was discovered by Xia Hong, he still felt victory was within his grasp.

It wasn’t until Xia Hong revealed strength greater than his own that he began to sense something was wrong, but by then, the fire was extinguished.

At the moment the fire was out, he truly felt he had won.

Who knew Xia Hong would give him such an unexpected surprise.

The fire in the furnace didn’t need anyone to light it at all; Xia Hong could control it freely.

“I was just about to break through the Cold Resistance Level when someone came to camp to teach me, telling me about the combat body.

How could there be such a coincidence in the world?

Creating such a huge cold beast tide just to make me extinguish the fire.

You really schemed painstakingly.

It’s just a pity…”

What Xia Hong spoke lightly of, in reality, he only completely confirmed half an hour ago when he detected the large-scale invasion of Mirror Immortal Camp people, that He Yuanhun was indeed Gao Yu.

Before the cold beast tide arrived, Xia Hong had already successfully broken through and awakened.

He chose to stay behind the scenes, remaining unseen to eliminate the deceitful monster behind the Mirror Immortal Camp once and for all.

Initially, he hadn’t connected these matters with Gao Yu.

But half an hour ago, while searching for the deceitful monster around the valley, he discovered signs of a large-scale invasion by Mirror Immortal Camp men.

Thus, many things suddenly became clear.

This cold beast tide was definitely orchestrated by the deceitful monster of the Mirror Immortal Camp.

Yet, logically speaking, with more than five hundred cold beasts, how could a mere Great Xia Camp hold up?

The deceitful monster didn’t even need to bring people over, just wait for the cold beasts to massacre everyone in Great Xia.

But it still brought people over.

The reason is simple: because that deceitful monster knew that this cold beast tide alone couldn’t destroy Great Xia.

Or rather, the purpose of creating this cold beast tide wasn’t to destroy Great Xia at all.

The deceitful monster of Mirror Immortal Camp confirmed that the cold beast tide wouldn’t destroy Great Xia!

This in itself raised a huge doubt.

Before Xia Hong broke through to the Cold Resistance Level, Great Xia’s true reliance was actually those five wooden mannequins, something extremely secretive not known by everyone within Great Xia Camp.

How did the deceitful monster of Mirror Immortal Camp know?

Combining this with the cold beast tide deliberately set to happen just before nightfall, it was clearly a setup for the subsequent entrance of Mirror Immortal Camp people.

In open strength, Mirror Immortal Camp was far stronger than Great Xia by several times.

Yet they dared not brazenly invade at night, clearly knowing the cold beast tide couldn’t destroy Great Xia and still scheming so meticulously, besides using the cold beast tide to force them to extinguish the fire, what other reason could there be?

In other words, the deceitful monster of Mirror Immortal Camp wasn’t just afraid of the fire of the iron refining furnace; it also knew about the wooden mannequins and clearly understood the iron refining furnace’s strong attraction to cold beasts.

Throughout this period, the only one who visited Great Xia, came into contact with the iron refining furnace, and might know about the wooden mannequins, was the person claiming to be Gao Yu from Shenwu Village east of Twin Dragon Mountain.

In Mirror Immortal Camp, the only one who hadn’t shown up yet was that Great Leader He Yuanhun, the deceitful monster capable of reviving people like He Meng and He Gang was highly likely him.

If so, then Gao Yu, or He Yuanhun, was the deceitful monster behind Mirror Immortal Camp.

After confirming this, Xia Hong still didn’t rush to come out.

His target was always the deceitful monster.

With marker stones in place, Xia Hong could use the system to sense any external life entering within a kilometer around the valley.

Half an hour ago, upon detecting the 200-plus men from Mirror Immortal Camp, he was already watching from the shadows.

Unfortunately, finding that all 271 of them were Earth-digging Realm, Xia Hong immediately realized that the deceitful monster was still hiding in the dark, not showing itself.
