Endless Winter: My Camp Upgrades Infinitely-Chapter 285 - 160 The Night Has Fallen, It’s Time_2

"No wonder, no wonder it’s been so long, and no Cold Beasts have charged out from the compartments. The Cold Beasts just now were illusions created by five wooden mannequins, dealing with them!"

Luo Yuan suddenly realized, the commotion of Cold Beasts coming in from the compartment had been ongoing for quite some time, yet they never broke through the walls. This was the reason.

But at the moment he realized this, his face turned grim instantly.

Not only him, but Shi Ping, Yuan Cheng, Yue Feng, and all the members of the Hunting Team, their faces also turned grim instantly.

They all understood why Xia Chuan didn’t extinguish the Iron Refining Furnace’s fire.

As for the camp building functions, the seventeen of them knew the best.

The wooden mannequins could only be activated within the radiation range of the Iron Refining Furnace.

"Not only would it affect the wooden mannequins, but if the Iron Refining Furnace’s fire went out, it would play right into the Mirror Immortal Camp’s hands!"

Luo Yuan exchanged a glance with Xia Chuan from a distance, instantly realizing something more serious.

This Cold Beast tide could almost certainly be attributed to the deceitful monster behind the Mirror Immortal Camp.

Their meticulous planning was all just to make them extinguish the fire!

Boom...

In a moment of stupefaction among them, a huge sound came from downstairs.

Yuan Cheng, closest to the window, quickly poked his head out for a look, his pupils shrank suddenly, and he turned back to shout at Xia Chuan:

"Chuan, it’s an Intermediate Frost Wolf, an Intermediate Frost Wolf is here!"

With no need for Yuan Cheng’s reminder, Xia Chuan and the others were already driven to the main hall by the Cold Beasts from the four corridors.

So many Cold Beasts had invaded the second floor of the wooden house, and the wooden walls on all sides had long been riddled with holes, making the scene outside easily visible.

To the north was a Frost Wolf; to the south was a Demon Sheep; directly to the west was a Snow Mane; and behind the valley to the east was a Teng Jiao.

Just like the Cold Beasts, which had attacked the wooden house from four directions moments ago, these four Intermediate Cold Beasts were also frantically ramming the wooden walls from all sides.

Boom... boom... boom...

"Chuan, look at their eyes!"

"Already saw them."

Yuan Cheng’s reminder was a bit redundant.

Even without saying, all on the second floor in the Earth-digging Realm, at the very first moment they saw the four Cold Beasts, noticed their eyes. ƒrēewebnoѵёl.cσm

Different from those low-level Cold Beasts that had attacked the wooden house with blood-red eyes, these four Intermediate Cold Beasts had eyes resembling silvery fluid, like mirrors, and even from dozens of meters away, one could see their reflection in them.

"The rest of the low-level Cold Beasts are normal; the Mirror Immortal Camp must be controlling these four Intermediate Cold Beasts to bring about this Cold Beast tide!"

Xia Chuan’s expression turned increasingly grim, the oddity of the four Intermediate Cold Beasts reinforcing his suspicions.

"The Mirror Immortal Camp is waiting for nightfall!"

Glancing outside the wooden house, he noticed the sky had already turned completely dark, and this thought flashed through Xia Chuan’s mind, sending a shiver down his spine.

"Bang..."

The wooden house’s east wall reverberated with another loud noise as the Intermediate Teng Jiao, with its head attached to a body over ten meters long, was already burrowing inside, its twisting body causing further damage to the wooden house.

"Everyone, don’t let go, we must not loosen up."

"Master Mu, some low-level Cold Beasts have already come in."

"There’s a Teng Jiao here, hurry, someone come help!"

"Ah..."

...

Upon hearing the faint voices coming from the first floor, Xia Chuan’s expression changed.

The wooden house had remained standing so far entirely because over five hundred people in the Logging Realm on the first floor were desperately holding it together, but with the entry of the four Intermediate Cold Beasts, it was clear they were reaching their limit too.

Xia Chuan knew that if they dragged on any longer, when the first floor encountered problems, the entire wooden house’s structure would collapse, and it wouldn’t just be a matter of one or two casualties.

He hastened his sweeping blade to drive away a Frost Wolf in front of him, then turned to shout loudly at Luo Yuan and the others: "Luo Yuan, you keep holding the main hall, don’t let the Cold Beasts go up, Yuan Cheng, Yue Feng, and you ten with me downstairs to help!"

"Alright, we’ll guard the main hall here, even if it costs our lives, I won’t let them get up from here."

Luo Yuan roared in anger, leading the rest directly to defend the stairway entrance.

The wooden mannequin turned Thunder Kui also stood beside him, helping to fend off the low-level Cold Beasts relentlessly charging the stairs.

"Is this wooden mannequin voluntarily helping me or..."

Seeing the wooden mannequin’s movement, Luo Yuan’s eyes lit up. After pondering for a moment, he suddenly looked up towards the third floor, his eyes filled with excitement.

...

On the other side, Xia Chuan led Yuan Cheng, Yue Feng, and ten others down to the first floor. Upon seeing the scene before them, their hearts skipped a beat.

The second floor’s four walls were already riddled with holes, but compared to the first floor, it was nothing.

The first floor’s four walls were already practically in a state where air could pass through.

If not for the iron locks forged a few days ago, forcing the wooden house’s structural joints together, and Mu Dong leading over four hundred people tightly gripping them, the wooden house would’ve already collapsed.

This was only in the main hall area, while at the main front entrance of the first floor, over a hundred people were clinging desperately to the door chains. The double doors had already been rammed open by one or two meters by the Cold Beasts outside, with Snow Mane’s fangs and Demon Sheep’s sharp horns having already pierced in.

Not to mention the front door, even the wooden walls to either side of it were in tatters, with several Snow Mane and Demon Sheep heads already thrusting in, their bodies continually pushing inwards.

"Yuan Cheng, you take five people to help them guard the main entrance. Yue Feng, you six with me to help Mu Dong quickly!"

With Xia Chuan’s command, the twelve quickly split into two teams.

Yuan Cheng led five, wielding large blades, charged towards the main entrance, chopping back the intruding Snow Mane and Demon Sheep to let the doors close again, then focused on the Cold Beasts’ heads drilling in from both sides of the doors, slashing like mad.
