Endless Winter: My Camp Upgrades Infinitely

Chapter 1462 - 464: Terrifying Cold Wave, On the Brink of Death, the Ruthless and the Gift, Dramatic Progress

Seven days ago, her daytime feeling was not wrong!

Su Xing’er, who was frantically fleeing toward the cave, had pupils full of lingering fear at this moment.

On the third day of the month, at Cai Shiyan’s suggestion, they advanced westward, and she had already sensed that the temperature was dropping lower, but at the time, she thought it was just a climate issue with the Blood Miasma Plain and didn’t dwell on it.

However, as they arrived with many teams at the western side of the Trial Zone, which borders the Chen Cang Trial Zone, things began to seem off.

Just as Cai Shiyan had guessed, the Cold Beasts indeed gathered on this west side this year, and initially, they made a lot of gains.

But the number of trial teams in this area kept increasing, involving not just those from Cai Qiu, but even many from Chen Cang.

The density of teams was becoming increasingly abnormal, as if all the trial teams from both Feudal Towns were gathering in this area.

This naturally raised her vigilance, and with the temperature falling, she couldn’t help but express her concerns to Cai Shiqin yesterday, suggesting that they leave this area immediately.

Her sister Cai Shiqin listened, but when she voiced this idea to Cai Shiyan and the others, it was swiftly rejected.

Su Xing’er considered leaving with Cai Shiqin directly, but eventually, under the influence of greed, she chose to stay with the team.

In seven days, the Blood Jade Pearls from her three brothers were all given to her, and relying on these Blood Jade Pearls, her strength increased from 17-maned to 20-maned. If she followed the plan to complete the trial, she could clearly perceive that these increased strengths were not from cultivation, meaning that all the improvement was from her physical essence, in other words, her Battle Body Talent was continuously rising.

When she initially broke through, her Basic Strength was 3-maned. Normally, reaching the Peak of Cold Resistance would be 24-maned, but now she could clearly feel she was getting further from the Peak of Cold Resistance.

Enhancement of talent means a higher future limit, which their master had taught them countless times, so Su Xing’er naturally understood what this meant.

The temptation of the Blood Jade Pearls was too great for her!

So, even knowing things were wrong, she chose to take a gamble, staying with the team without leaving.

But this greed led to the current consequences!

During the day, a terrifying cold wave suddenly arrived. Su Xing’er saw clearly that the ground, trees, rocks, mountains, and even the snowflakes in mid-air were instantly frozen, and besides the Cold Beasts, everything was frozen by the cold wave.

Humans were no exception!

At the moment the cold wave hit, everyone in the team quickly took out various treasures to resist the cold. The four siblings were at a loss, but fortunately, Cai Shiqin took out a treasure called the Fireproof Shield, which shielded all four of them.

But the others were not so lucky. Among their team of 43, 31 were instantly frozen into ice sculptures, leaving only 12 people.

The four siblings, plus Cai Qifeng and Cai Yuwan, made six, who survived thanks to Cai Shiqin’s Fireproof Shield; the remaining five were Cai Shiyan, Cai Zizheng, and three other Cai family members.

Withstanding the first wave of the cold wave had nothing to do with strength, it depended on whether one had treasures like the Fireproof Shield. Cai Zizheng and the four survived, like them, thanks to the four Yang Fire Pills that Cai Shiyan took out.

The small team instantly lost three-quarters, leaving the 12 remaining in chaos and stunned. But before they could react, the Fireproof Shield and Cai Shiyan’s Yang Fire Pills gradually began to lose effect.

The cold wave was truly terrifying!

It came with the wind, in waves, almost impossible to avoid. The outer layer of the Fireproof Shield quickly formed solid ice, and the seven hiding inside soon had hands and feet that turned blue-purple; the other five were not much better. Cai Shiyan had quite a few Yang Fire Pills, but by the second round, they were scarcely effective.

In their urgent desperation, they devised the simplest solution: finding an enclosed space to hide from the external cold wave.

And surprisingly, this method actually worked!

But the effectiveness didn’t last long, as everything was frozen, but the Cold Beasts were not. Considering the high density of Cold Beasts in this area, they had barely settled in the first cave before several Cold Beasts discovered them.

Such a confined space as a cave was not conducive for them to fight, and with the Cold Beasts unaffected by the cold wave, the fight broke the cave’s enclosed environment, making things even worse for them.

"These two Yellow Candles can also be used against Deceitful Monsters. Additionally, if encountering something mystical and beyond understanding, lighting them would have miraculous effects."

At the brink of death, Su Xing’er suddenly remembered the Yellow Candles their master gave them before leaving the county mansion. Though these Yellow Candles seemed unrelated to the cold wave, recalling their master’s instructions, she lit one with the mindset of a last resort.

Who would’ve thought, the moment the Yellow Candle was lit, the cold wave was actually blocked!

So, this terrifying cold wave was due to a Deceitful Monster’s machinations.

Despite realizing this, the situation was urgent, leaving no time for Su Xing’er to delve into it further. The Yellow Candle could block the cold wave, but it had no effect on the Cold Beasts.

Hence, they could only flee for their lives.

Currently, they had just managed to shake off the pursuing Cold Beasts and escape to here.
