Endless Winter: My Camp Upgrades Infinitely

Chapter 1823: Chapter 583: Darkness and Lostness, Level 6 Soul Suppressing Tripod_2

Fortunately, this time he carried the Holy Tripod with him.

When he first arrived, his vision was restricted to only one meter in front of him, meaning he couldn’t even see things a meter away.

It’s important to note that he is at the Xianyang Level cultivation, with his skin membrane, flesh, and bones all remolded once. The combined effects of these remodelings have made his bodily functions extraordinary. In the Ice Abyss, without needing to perceive, his vision can reach as far as a mile.

Yet, in this dark realm, it barely reached one meter!

Not only couldn’t he see, but this world also couldn’t produce fire.

He tried countless times before, but this world seemed to prohibit the presence of flames. The Fire Stone he carried didn’t work at all, and even attempting to use primitive methods to drill wood for fire was unsuccessful.

If ordinary fire didn’t work, what about the small torch?

Before entering Chilong Lake, Xia Hong indeed didn’t carry any supplies, but the Yangxu Tripod within his body could generate a small torch by consuming resources. To his despair, the small torch still wouldn’t light up.

The current ten-meter vision distance is only possible by consuming resources to activate the Holy Tripod within him.

However, these ten meters’ distance is still like a drop in the ocean for him who wishes to find an exit from this realm, making it completely useless.

This world feels like an eternal night, where no light can be seen, and there’s no distinction between day and night. Initially, he tried to keep track of the passage of time using his senses, trying to remember the dates, but as he continued exploring, the darkness between heaven and earth grew heavier, quickly blurting his concept of time.

Until now, he has no idea how long he has been walking nor how far he’s moved forward.

“Not right, not right, on the day at the bottom of Chilong Lake, I didn’t find Xiahou Yong or Jiang Yiqing, Li Baobao jumped into the pool before me, there’s no way I ended up here, and she ended up back at Chilong Lake. Most likely, all three of them came here like I did…”

If Xiahou Yong and Jiang Yiqing are facing the same situation as him, the prognosis isn’t good, as they both have only Cold Resistance Level Cultivation;

But Li Baobao is different, she possesses the Third Turn Tribulation Body Realm Cultivation, stronger than him, and is from a Feudal Town with plenty of treasures. But who knows where she has ended up.

“Well, not necessarily, I have the Yangxu Tripod support, and my vision is only ten meters. Her treasures can’t possibly be stronger than my Yangxu Tripod, so she likely is in a bad situation too!”

Xia Hong furrows his brow tightly, not purposely thinking about these three people but deliberately shifting his focus.

This infinite darkness exerts a strong oppressive sensation on him, even he only endured the initial phase, and now his emotions are growing extremely anxious and disturbed.

Forgetting the passage of time is an early sign of losing control.

If he doesn’t shift his focus and continues wandering aimlessly, he is likely to lose his mind before he finds a way out.

“These ten meters are more about being the illumination range of the Yangxu Tripod rather than my vision range. This world is either too high-grade or has special effects that isolate human vision, I can’t just keep walking like this, I need to find another way…”

Xia Hong took a few deep breaths, then sat cross-legged, closing his eyes to think deeply.

From the moment he arrived, he was solely focused on finding an exit to return to Chilong Lake, but the more he did so, the more it felt like a dead end; he remained trapped in this darkness, unable to escape.

“The Eye of Truth is useless, and the only reliance is the Yangxu Tripod. But apart from providing me a ten-meter vision, it has no other use. What else can I do, what else can I do…”

Xia Hong suppressed his inner anxiety, continuously pondering countermeasures, until…

Snap!

“Why am I so foolish…”

[Resources: Wood 10.8 billion, Coal 8.7 billion, Iron 7.8 billion, Silver 600 million, Gold 3.5 million]

Xia Hong quickly slapped his forehead, cursing himself for his stupidity, then promptly pulled up the system’s resource data.

In recent years, as his strength grew, he gradually became somewhat egotistic, trying to rely on his own strength to solve problems at first glance, forgetting his greatest reliance.

The Yangxu Tripod could provide him with a ten-meter vision, which meant it still had suppressive effects on this world. If the Level 5 Yangxu Tripod wasn’t functioning, why not continue upgrading it?

[Yangxu Tripod (Level 5)]

[Upgrade Requirements: 1 billion Coal 3 billion Iron 10 million Silver 100 thousand Gold]

The upgrading resources required by the Yangxu Tripod aren’t exaggerated; the only hindrance over the years was gold, but with the large batch of gold resources harvested at the bottom of Chilong Lake, this difficulty no longer exists.

So what are you waiting for!

Hope flickers in Xia Hong’s eyes, with a slight movement of his spirit, a portion of the system’s gold resources swiftly vanished. Consequently, the Yangxu Tripod within him began to transform rapidly.

He’s still uncertain about the specifics of this world, so he clearly can’t take the Yangxu Tripod out casually; upgrading it internally is the most reliable method.

As a vast and ancient feeling emanates within him, Xia Hong doesn’t have the interest to observe the changes in the form of the Yangxu Tripod but quickly checks the specific changes in its effects.
