Endless Winter: My Camp Upgrades Infinitely

#35 - Final victory, shocking change

“Ah…”

Xu Ning’s shrill scream echoed through the cave.

Xia Hong and the others quickly turned their heads to look, and a chill ran down their spines.

His axe ultimately failed to strike.

Not only did it fail to strike, but his right eye seemed to have been plucked out of its socket, leaving only an empty hole.

Blood streamed down his face, a truly horrifying sight.

“You guys hold it off, I’ll go save him!”

Despite the fear in his heart, Xia Hong made a decisive decision.

He ordered the others, gritted his teeth, grabbed the cold beast’s mane, and leaped onto its back.

Without hesitation, he went up, helped Xu Ning up, and tossed him down.

Xia Chuan and the others immediately rushed forward to catch him.

“Leader, don’t look at the eyes on its back.

My left eye was closed just now, so I was fine.

It’s like something ran out from inside and plucked out my eyeball.”

Despite losing his right eye, Xu Ning remained conscious.

Before being taken down, he didn’t forget to shout a warning.

Xia Hong took a deep breath and moved his body along the direction of the cold beast’s struggles.

He stubbornly refused to look down, only reaching out to feel around on the cold beast’s back.

After a moment, Xia Hong located the golden eye.

“Scatter and control its limbs, we only need a moment, quick!”

Having sent Xu Ning to the rear, Xia Chuan and the others heard this and glanced at the cold beast.

Despite feeling uneasy, they quickly dropped their stone axes and charged forward empty-handed.

Stone axes couldn’t break through the cold beast’s defenses and were useless.

Keeping them would only be a burden and affect their ability to exert force.

Lin Kai and Qiu Peng rushed to the rear of the cold beast and together hugged its right hind leg.

Yue Feng and Lu Yang then hugged the left hind leg.

Yuan Cheng and Xia Chuan went to the front, each hugging one of the front legs.

Roar…

This distribution was reasonable, but compared to the cold beast’s strength, the dispersed six were clearly not enough.

The cold beast struggled wildly, basically dragging the six people across the ground.

The cave was small, and the back-and-forth movement was only a few dozen meters.

Xia Chuan, Yuan Chuan, and the others were hit several times.

The six of them almost vomited blood, either being trampled by the cold beast or injured by the impact against the wall.

But even so, the six of them didn’t let go, still tightly gripping the cold beast’s limbs, gritting their teeth, just to create that one moment of opportunity for Xia Hong.

Xia Hong hadn’t moved the whole time, not because he didn’t want to, but mainly because the cold beast was making too much noise.

Compared to the six people holding its limbs below, the cold beast clearly felt that he on its back was a greater threat.

So, every time it crashed into the wall, it would deliberately use its back and tail.

Xia Hong was also hit several times, but his left hand always gripped the mane, preventing himself from falling off.

At the same time, his right hand remained on the position of the eye he had just felt for a long time.

“Don’t let go, hold on a little longer, it’s almost out of strength.”

Xia Hong shouted to the others, his face gradually becoming ferocious.

“I don’t believe this beast has endless strength!”

The seven of them were locked in a stalemate with the cold beast for more than half a minute.

Whether they were trampled or hit, no one let go.

Finally, after crashing into the wall again, the cold beast suddenly paused.

Huff…

It was panting.

Now was the time.

Xia Hong’s pupils suddenly contracted, he retracted his right hand, and from his waist, he pulled out a short knife no more than five inches long.

He aimed at the eye position he had just felt for so long and thrust it in violently.

Puchi.

“Everyone, let go and get out of the way!”

Knowing that he had succeeded, Xia Hong immediately told Xia Chuan and the others to retreat.

The six people who were desperately holding the cold beast’s limbs immediately let go and retreated backward.

Roar…

As the cold beast let out a miserable and painful roar, a warm current enveloped Xia Hong’s palm.

The cold beast beneath him also began to struggle more violently.

Xia Hong wasn’t afraid now.

Riding on the cold beast’s back, he looked towards its golden eye.

It turned out that the forceful stab just now had been too strong.

Not only the short knife, but he had even inserted his hand.

That warm current was the feeling of his palm soaking in blood after the eye was pierced.

With the golden eye on its back pierced, this cold beast was clearly not just suffering pain.

Xia Hong, riding on its back, felt it most directly.

Right after the eye was pierced, the cold beast had unleashed even more terrifying power than before.

But as time passed, its movements were clearly deforming and slowing down, and the power it could exert was getting weaker and weaker.

Even so, Xia Hong didn’t dare to be careless, still riding on its back, tightly gripping its mane.

Until finally, the eye on the cold beast’s back no longer shed blood, its limbs began to stagger, until it crashed to the ground.

At this moment, Xia Hong truly breathed a sigh of relief.

He could feel firsthand that the cold beast’s life had been completely extinguished.

After letting go, a strong sense of exhaustion suddenly washed over him.

“Is it dead?”

“Is it really dead?”

“It’s dead, everyone come over!”

Xia Hong’s answer allowed Xia Chuan, Yuan Chuan, and the others to completely relax their tense minds.

Realizing that it was finally over, everyone’s face showed a smile.

“Hahahaha, we’ve been hiding from it so many times, who would have thought it would deliver itself to our door.”

“That was close, if it weren’t for the leader, the result would have been uncertain.”

“I was holding its hind legs just now, and several times I felt like I was going to be trampled to death.

If I hadn’t seen you all persevering, I might not have been able to hold on.”

“Hahahaha, me too.”

Battles can best unite people, especially battles concerning life and death.

Although everyone had injuries, some even serious, the way everyone looked at each other clearly had more than before.

Listening to everyone’s jokes after surviving a disaster, Xia Hong felt much more relaxed.

However, there was still one seriously injured person, and he didn’t know how he was doing.

“Where’s Xu Ning? How’s Xu Ning?”

Hearing this, everyone quickly looked towards the back of the cave.

“Leader, I’m fine, let someone seal the cave first.

Many of the adults’ faces are already frozen blue, and some of the children can’t hold on much longer.”

Although Xu Ning had lost his right eye, he had been conscious the whole time.

At this moment, while answering Xia Hong, he didn’t forget to remind them to quickly seal the cave entrance.

Xia Hong turned his head to look at the crowd, only to realize that the faces of adults and children alike were all frozen blue.

He quickly got up and led people to seal the cave and start a fire.

The battle just now had actually only lasted less than ten minutes from beginning to end.

But in just these ten minutes, the ordinary people in the camp could no longer hold on.

In fact, not only could they not hold on, but even Xia Hong himself, after disengaging from the battle, quickly felt the cold.

The daytime was truly terrifying!

Xia Hong let Xia Chuan and a few others with more serious injuries go to rest first, and he led people to move things to seal the cave entrance.

Xu Ning was also lying on the ground, so those who came to help were other adults in the camp.

“Leader, you’re injured, go rest first, leave this to us.”

Xia Hong was carrying something when he heard someone’s concern.

He turned his head and showed a smile, saying, “It’s okay, I basically didn’t suffer any injuries, hurry up, we can start a fire once the cave entrance is sealed, so everyone doesn’t have to freeze anymore.”

The others were immediately moved when they heard this.

“Leader, we can handle this little thing, don’t worry!”

The middle-aged man who had told Xia Hong to rest also took two steps towards Xia Hong, wanting to help him carry the wood in his hands.

Xia Hong’s eyes flickered slightly, and he didn’t refuse, instantly handing the wood to him.

Unexpectedly, just as that person walked in front of Xia Hong.

A shocking turn of events suddenly occurred.

He suddenly extended his right fist and violently attacked Xia Hong’s head.

This sudden scene immediately caused everyone to panic.
