Chapter 283: Chapter 159: Blood and Flesh Wall, Has the Leader Not Broken Through Yet?_5

A few low-level Cold Beasts don’t pose much of a problem, with so many in the Earth-digging Realm, it’s not hard to kill them.

The key is, what these Cold Beasts can break isn’t just the walls of the corridor.

The wooden house of Great Xia, apart from the joints that use Iron, the rest is mostly made of wood.

With the sharp teeth and claws of these Cold Beasts, breaking through the wood is incredibly easy.

Crunch...

As if to confirm Xia Chuan’s suspicions, as he rushed up the corridor, before getting close to the Frost Wolf, approaching the outer wall, noises of wood being broken from outside echoed from the compartments on both sides.

Bang...

Following immediately was the clear sound of limbs landing and stepping.

This means the Cold Beasts have broken through the outer wall and entered the second floor!

"Damn it!"

There are over two hundred compartments on the second floor, and given the size of the Cold Beasts, breaking through them one by one to reach the central hall will take some time.

"Forget it for now, let’s slaughter these in the corridor first!"

Xia Chuan, leading a few others, swiftly charged forward, starting to surround and kill the two Frost Wolves that rushed up first.

...

If the situation with all those in the Earth-digging Realm on the third and second floors is already quite desperate, the side with over five hundred people led by Mu Dong on the first floor is truly reaching the peak of despair.

At the main entrance, over a hundred people clung desperately to a single Iron chain, their teeth clenched so tightly that many of them were bleeding.

The Iron chain was hooked around the top of the door on the outside, and the harder they pulled back, the tighter the door would close.

Bang...

The door opened only a crack, and as the cold air rushed in, everyone could see the Blood Basin mouth of the Cold Beasts outside. Despite the surge of fear in their hearts, they still clenched their jaws, clutching the ropes tightly.

With each hit from outside, the hundred people would be dragged forward a few steps by the Iron chain, but they relied on their sheer willpower to pull the cast Iron door shut once again.

It’s not just the main door; in the central hall of the first floor, four thick Iron chains extend from the corridors, with over four hundred people divided into four groups, each group holding tightly onto one Iron chain.

The Iron chains extend to each critical point of the first floor, with bumps hooked onto them, and as over four hundred people in the hall exert themselves together, the Iron bumps interact all around the wooden house. For a moment, the Cold Beasts outside were unable to completely break through the walls.

"Don’t lose heart. As long as we hold onto these set of Iron bumps, these low-level Cold Beasts can at most break through wood. We just need to keep the house from collapsing and not let the sunlight come in, and we’ll be safe."

"Lord Xia Chuan and the others are holding the enemies on the third floor. As long as we hold out and don’t let the wooden house collapse, we all have hope!"

In the center, Mu Dong, holding the end of an Iron chain, with blood seeping from his mouth, took the opportunity to speak, tying the Iron chain directly around his waist.

As the outside collisions became more frequent, the force transmitted through the Iron chain also grew stronger with each hit. Though Mu Dong’s face was already flushed red, he still gritted his teeth, refusing to let go for even a moment.

If even he, in the Earth-digging Realm, was struggling like this, one could only imagine the situation of the over five hundred in the Logging Realm on the first floor.

Everyone’s hands were worn through, and blood seeped from their mouths, nasal cavities, and even eyes, yet not one person let go of the Iron chain.

Some, sensing their own limits, imitated Mu Dong by tying the Iron chain directly onto themselves, but their end was not as fortunate as Mu Dong’s.

The impact force of a single low-level Cold Beast can reach tens of thousands, and while the Iron chain can distribute the force the wooden house bears, the house was enduring the impact force of several hundred Cold Beasts rushing together at that moment.

Those who tied the Iron chain onto themselves were strangled to death in just a few seconds.

Yet even so, others continued to imitate.

"My wife and kids are upstairs. If I can’t protect them, what’s the point of living? I won’t let go, even if it kills me!"

"After eating so much Cold Beast meat from the camp, at last, it can finally be put to use. Even if I die today, I won’t let these Cold Beasts break in!"

"The Hunting Team and others are upstairs fighting off the cold beasts, we just need to put in some effort. If we can’t stick it out, are we still human?"

"Brothers, we can’t loosen our grip. If the wooden house falls, we won’t survive, and neither will our wives and children. We can’t let the Cold Beasts through."

"Ah!!! Put more effort into it, brothers! Hold on!"

"Hold on, just a little longer. Lord Xia Chuan and the others will come down to help soon."

"When the leader comes out, when the leader is out, we will all survive!"

...

Furious roars rose and fell.

Despite their hoarse voices, not one of the over hundred people holding the main entrance Iron chain nor the over four hundred holding the four Iron chains in the hall let go of the chains.

Even if it meant death, they would first tie the Iron chain to their bodies, whether to their legs, waists, hands, or even around their necks...

Five to six hundred people, with an astonishing unity of purpose: as long as they could hold the Iron chains and keep the wooden house standing, they were willing to give their lives.

"If the wooden walls can’t hold, we’ll build a wall with blood and flesh!"

Mu Dong, at the end of an Iron chain, despite his waist being chafed to blood, was also caught up in the shared emotion and roared up to the sky, veins standing out on his hands, pulling the Iron chain back with all his might.

But he had barely retreated an inch when the wooden house shuddered violently again, and he was pulled back.

"Has the leader not come out yet!?"

Mu Dong’s vision blurred a bit, and a sense of despair slowly began to grow in his heart.

He had just seen the Cold Beasts outside.

With that number of cold beasts, he knew in his heart that Xia Chuan and the others alone wouldn’t be able to hold them off.

Right now, only Xia Hong.

Not just Mu Dong, but everyone else as well thought of Xia Hong’s name.

Only the leader Xia Hong, who had consistently led them to create miracles, was their only hope.

"Has the leader not successfully broken through yet!?"
