Endless Winter: My Camp Upgrades Infinitely

Chapter 1370: Chapter 443: White Phoenix Forest of Snow Phoenix Mountain, Five-colored Demon Sound Rabbits, Playing Mind Games with Me? (2)

Cai Mengya happened to suggest going to White Phoenix Forest to catch Rabbit Fur Beasts. During the banquet, the two Commanders took the lead in provoking, using a ploy to deliberately taunt Xia Hong, saying he surely wouldn’t dare to come.

"As a descendant of the Great Qin, what does this trifling Cai Qiu have that could scare me? Miss Mengya, rest assured, when the time comes to catch Rabbit Fur Beasts next month, just let me know!"

Remembering the persona he put on during the banquet, Xia Hong couldn’t help but feel amused himself. After that banquet, he firmly established his persona in front of Cai Yunzhou and the Xianyang Level figures in Qinghua City.

A noble-born, exceptionally talented individual with Xianyang Level cultivation, but lacking experience and intelligence, easily provoked into anger...

While Xia Hong contemplated, Cai Mengya’s eyes twinkled slightly. She turned to look deeper into the White Phoenix Forest and replied with a smile, "Brother Hong, rest assured, these Rabbit Fur Beasts love to eat Snow Phoenixes. We’ve already lured all the Snow Phoenixes in the outer area, and slain quite a few. The Rabbit Fur Beasts will appear soon!"

Upon hearing this, Xia Hong glanced at Cai Mengya from the corner of his eye, slightly furrowing his brow, then turned to look two kilometers ahead, where he couldn’t help but reveal a trace of amazement on his face.

A massive army of a thousand soldiers clad in Ten Thousand Forged Iron Armor was entangled in battle with two to three hundred Snow Phoenixes soaring in the sky. Though the soldiers lacked the ability to fly, more than half wielded Strong Bows, continuously shooting at the Snow Phoenixes overhead. With the cooperation of another smaller contingent wielding long spears, they remarkably forced the Snow Phoenixes into retreat, occasionally managing to hunt a few down.

"This Cai Qiu’s upper echelons are truly extravagant to the extreme! Just for the City Lord’s daughter to hunt, she can easily deploy a County Guard Army of a thousand..."

Upon realization, Xia Hong’s expression grew serious. The extravagance was one aspect; from another perspective, Cai Mengya’s actions could also indirectly demonstrate Cai Qiu’s strength.

All these soldiers possessed Cold Resistance Level cultivation and wore uniform Ten Thousand Forged Iron Armor. If the County Guard Army’s strength is so potent, then how formidable must the Town Guard and Silver Scale armies be?

The crucial point is that such a strong military’s deployment permissions aren’t even that high. According to Xia Hong’s understanding, although Cai Mengya is a descendant of the Landgrave’s Lineage, there are at least several hundred Cai Family progeny like her in all of Cai Qiu. Even if her status is relatively higher, it still underscores the issue.

Whoosh......

"Brother Hong, there’s a Beast King Level Snow Phoenix coming!"

A sharp sound pierced through the air, abruptly arriving from above.

There was no need for Cai Mengya’s reminder; Xia Hong instantly sensed it. He sharply turned his head toward the sky over the army, his pupils narrowing slightly.

A gigantic Snow Phoenix nearly a hundred meters long, with its wings fully spread spanning four or five hundred meters, its massive body casting a shadow over the ground as it charged toward the army, blotting out the cold light of day, instantly covering all the soldiers.

Evidently, this was a Beast King Level Snow Phoenix.

"Hoo......"

As the Snow Phoenix neared the ground, only about a mile away, it suddenly retracted its wings and gave a powerful flap, sending a strong cold stream blowing toward the ground.

Rustle, rustle, rustle......

The hundreds of arrows shot into the sky by the County Guard Army were instantly blown to the ground by the airstream. Not just that, their bodies also kept retreating, and some soldiers who were unprepared were directly knocked down by the strong wind. The weakest among them who were exposed to the cold wind had their faces instantly covered with frost, freezing to death within three or four breaths.

And the cold stream was just the first move of the Beast King Level Snow Phoenix.

As the cold stream surged down, the Snow Phoenix’s clear black and white eyes flashed with a few murderous glints of cold light, and its body suddenly trembled.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh......

The myriad snow-white feathers on the Snow Phoenix descended like a storm toward the army below. The feathers traveled so fast that they appeared as silver needles, or even as white flashes to the naked eye.

Seeing the terrified soldiers on the ground scatter like startled birds and beasts, Xia Hong’s brow furrowed slightly. With his body suddenly rising in flames, he shot straight out, positioning himself in the path of the Snow Phoenix’s flying needles, wielding the Shattered Star Sword.

Whoosh......

The weight of the Shattered Star Sword, combined with his own 41 Jun strength, expanded the sword’s air current in an instant to several miles in radius, forcibly deflecting ninety percent of the Snow Phoenix’s feathers.

"Screech..."

The Snow Phoenix, seeing its attack thwarted, let out a furious cry. Its body suddenly transformed into a white light that blotted out the sky, fiercely grabbing toward Xia Hong below.

"Clang......"

Yet Xia Hong made no defensive move, continuing to wield the Shattered Star Sword. The circular air current naturally couldn’t stop the Snow Phoenix, but the sword’s starlit veil was impenetrable, and the Snow Phoenix’s talons not only failed to break through, but the impact sent it flying backward several hundred meters. After flapping its wings a dozen times, it managed to stabilize.

Once the Snow Phoenix regained its balance, it turned to stare at Xia Hong again, its vertical pupils immediately filled with intense dread.

"17 Jun strength, Golden Bone Level Beast King, but its flying ability is too strong, and its speed seems close to mine. It won’t be easy to kill..."

Xia Hong perceived the Snow Phoenix’s strength, his face still carrying a faint smile. He glanced up at the peak of Snow Phoenix Mountain, immediately dismissing the idea of killing it.

Though the Snow Phoenix was enraged, it no longer dared to recklessly charge at Xia Hong. It looked down, fixing a deadly gaze on Xia Hong below, seemingly contemplating something.
