Endless Winter: My Camp Upgrades Infinitely-Chapter 302 - 165: Yin Yang Mirror_2
Chapter 302: Chapter 165: Yin Yang Mirror_2
It’s not just a setback, it should be a complete defeat.
He Meng and He Gang, along with 271 Earth-digging Realm soldiers, were completely annihilated, and even He Yuanhun himself was seriously injured, nearly dying.
Returning in such a panicked state, creating this scene before their eyes, the purpose is very clear.
"Are they afraid the Great Xia might attack, so they acted in advance!"
Yuwen Dao led a group of people to escape to the southern passage of the camp. Roughly estimating, there were only a little over three thousand people, and amidst the mourning, he realized that what was unfolding now was a long-planned scheme by He Yuanhun.
The Mirror Immortal Camp had a total population of over twelve thousand, with more than nine thousand having worshiped the Mirror Immortal.
Judging by how He Yuanhun gradually bewitched everyone to worship the Mirror Immortal, his target should be everyone in the camp, or as many as possible, but because of the Great Xia issue, he had to act early.
Ding...
A crisp sound of a mirror being struck came from behind, causing the crowd, including Yuwen Dao, who were fleeing out of the passage, to momentarily turn back and glance.
Everyone’s gaze froze for a moment.
The basin where the Mirror Immortal Camp was located covered an area just over five miles, not too large, with a ten-meter elevation difference from the ground, and the southern passage sloped upwards, so turning back just happened to allow a view of the bamboo tower.
In the sky above the bamboo tower, two ovals resembling eyes and having an ancient design, appeared out of nowhere.
The mirror on the left emitted a violent beam of light shining on the bamboo tower below, its size could at most illuminate one person.
The mirror on the right also glowed, but it emitted a dark and somber gray-black light.
The reason why everyone’s eyes were dazed was because of the mirror on the right.
A scene was reflected in the mirror on the right.
Despite the distance, it could still be seen clearly.
The scene portrayed another basin, bamboo towers, wooden houses, roads, with everything arranged identically to the Mirror Immortal Camp where they usually resided.
The difference was, in the mirror’s world, there were chirping birds, fragrant flowers, lush greenery, and abundant sunshine, with no cold nor snow. The ground was piled with food, and even people walked around inside, with constant joyful laughter.
"Isn’t that Old Chen’s family?"
"I see my dad."
"That’s my husband, my husband is in there too."
...
"Second Leader, I see the Second Leader!"
One voice after another rang out, Hong Guang even saw Yuwen Hu in there and was overjoyed to tell Yuwen Dao.
But with a turn of his head, he faced Yuwen Dao’s extremely cold expression.
"It’s all fake, you all just saw it with your own eyes, those people are already dead, it’s the deceitful monster’s trick, don’t be foolish!"
Hong Guang was instantly much more awake, but others were different.
Especially some ordinary people with weak mental fortitude, who just witnessed so many people committing suicide, their minds already endured a heavy impact. Seeing the world inside the mirror now, something seemed to stir within them, and they started to struggle.
"Don’t be a fool, it’s all fake. If such a world existed, why should we have to die to go there? It’s all a deceitful monster’s trick to confuse us."
Seeing many showing signs of interest on their faces, Yuwen Dao immediately cried out loudly.
"Dao’er, do you no longer trust your uncle?"
He Yuanhun’s sincere voice suddenly came from above.
Many who had been awakened by Yuwen Dao couldn’t help but look up at the beautiful world inside the mirror above again, eyes showing a hint of hope.
"I am the Mirror Immortal, I am the one who created this world of Nirvana in the mirror. Inside, there are no Cold Beasts, no deceitful monsters, no frost or severe cold. It is a world entirely opposite to Ice Abyss; just die once, and you can enter, gaining the ability of undying. Even if you regret, you can still freely travel between Ice Abyss in the future.
Don’t you want such a world, Dao’er?"
He Yuanhun’s gentle voice was incredibly sincere, and as he spoke, many below began to look dazed, even unable to help moving their hands toward their weapons.
Not just ordinary people, but even some from the Logging Realm and Earth-digging Realm were doing likewise.
Even Yuwen Dao felt a trace of wavering.
He Yuanhun’s extremely alluring voice and the perfect world he depicted were incredibly tempting to the people in Ice Abyss.
Ice Abyss was not a normal world at all.
Describing it as an icy purgatory would not be excessive.
No frost, no severe cold, no Cold Beasts, no deceitful monsters.
Who wouldn’t want to go to such a world?
Of course, more importantly, was that last sentence from He Yuanhun.
Even if regretting, one could still freely travel between Ice Abyss.
Before, He Meng, He Gang, and many others had died once and come back, aside from becoming irritable, they had virtually no other changes compared to before.
Doesn’t this just further prove that what He Yuanhun said is true?
"He’s lying to me, the dead can’t come back to life, it’s all fake, an illusion."
Yuwen Dao’s breathing became heavier, repeatedly telling himself this in his head, wanting to refute it, but not knowing how, he struggled in silence.
"Old Guang, what are you waiting for, hurry over, I’m waiting for you!"
"Son, come over, your father is waiting for you here."
"This world is much more comfortable than Ice Abyss, come quick, father."
"Rong’er, what are you waiting for, hurry inside."
...
Just a moment ago, He Yuanhun’s words had already shaken many.
Now, the people in the mirror world actively started speaking.
They reached out toward Yuwen Dao’s side, calling their friends and relatives, with genuine smiles all over their faces.
This resolutely administered strong dose directly to those wavering.
Thud...
In the crowd, an older man finally couldn’t hold back, drawing a dagger and stabbing toward his heart.
"I want to go over there, I want to go over there, I don’t want to live in Ice Abyss."
"Even if it’s fake, I want to go, I want to be with my family."
"I want to go too, I believe the leader, I want to go to that world."
...
There was a second soon after the first, and then it became a chain reaction, with the over three thousand people who were about to escape through the camp’s passage, beginning to commit suicide just like the people near the bamboo tower earlier.
"Dao’er, trust your mother, come in and you’ll see that the leader wasn’t lying to us, your father and I are waiting for you!" freёnovelkiss.com
In the mirror world, the voice of Xu Lan, his mother, made Yuwen Dao shudder violently, his eyes becoming completely dazed as he slowly raised the broadsword to his neck.
"Being born in Ice Abyss is a life of nine deaths. If dying meant going to such a world and being with my parents, even if it’s illusory, it’s worth it!"
This thought emerged in Yuwen Dao’s mind as he exerted strength with both hands.
Bang...
However, just then, a fierce wave of heat surged over, pulling Yuwen Dao directly out from his dazed state.
"Ah..."
A shrill scream suddenly emitted from the mirror above the bamboo tower.
"How can it be so soon, how can it be so soon, ah!!!"
The voice of He Yuanhun, which had been incredibly sincere earlier, now turned frantic and filled with panic and fear.
The two mirrors above the bamboo tower were already ablaze with raging flames.
Swish swish swish...
Dozens of Iron Arrows flew out from behind, all accurately hitting the two mirrors above the bamboo tower.
Thuck...
Oddly, when the Iron Arrows hit the mirrors, there was no sound of mirror shattering, but rather like piercing flesh, they embedded in them.
The next second, the tips of those Iron Arrows ignited flames, adding fuel to a fire that was already burning.
Bang...
The flames grew more fierce, and simultaneously, thick black smoke began to slowly rise from the mirror surfaces.
Accompanying it was He Yuanhun’s increasingly pained screams.
"How can it be so soon, how can it be so soon, ah...argh..."
He had only gathered over nine thousand souls, and the Mirror Realm was not yet formed, just needed a little more. Xia Hong actually attacked this early.
The location of the Mirror Immortal Camp wasn’t hard to find, but Xia Hong had never been here, and the first time would inevitably take some time.
How did he find this place so soon, how could he find it so fast?
"Foolish, I let you go on purpose, how could I not leave a mark on you? If you could escape so easily, wouldn’t that mean my advancement to Cold Resistance Level was for nothing!"
A teasing voice sounded from outside the passage.
Yuwen Dao quickly turned his head to find six or seven dozen people dressed in black-cloaked mantles standing outside the passage, drawing Strong Bows and madly firing arrows at the mirrors above the bamboo tower.
Leading them, who else but Xia Hong.
