Endless Winter: My Camp Upgrades Infinitely

Chapter 1437 - 458: 9-Curve Blood Corridor, Mysterious Ice Dao Monster, Feudal Town Military Might (Part 3)

The entire Beining Village has just over ten thousand people, with eleven Cold Resistance Level individuals. There are far too many deceitful monsters capable of destroying them.

Moreover, there are benefits to slaying a deceitful monster...

The three people at the front, including Chen Yuanbai, not only showed no fear but also a hint of excitement, and they quickly walked towards the village.

No wonder, even when we were hundreds of meters away, we could see the entire village was a stark white. Only after entering did we realize that not only the entrance, but the whole of Beining Village, including people and objects, had frozen solid.

Even the ground was no exception.

And those frozen people showed no trace of fear on their faces.

"These are all ordinary people, at most at the Earth-digging Realm. Let’s check the main building; those at the Cold Resistance Level should be different."

After finishing his sentence, Chen Yuanbai led the way towards the main building, and the four quickly followed.

Sure enough, soon they saw nine human-like ice sculptures on the roof of the main building, all facing north with expressions of terror.

North, where they had just come from?

The five were momentarily stunned and then felt an intense burning sensation in their palms. They quickly turned their heads and looked north.

Ring-ring... ring-ring...

The sound of two crisp bells echoed, causing the five people’s pupils to contract suddenly.

In the northern sky, at some point, a sinister figure was hovering.

This figure was hunched over severely, with its head drooping almost to the abdomen, wearing a black-and-white long robe. The robe was excessively wide, and combined with his hunched posture, it made him look like he was kneeling in mid-air.

If Xia Hong were here, he would immediately recognize the black-and-white long robe as a common Daoist attire from a past life.

A gray-white flag was inserted into his back, fluttering violently in the cold wind, as if about to be blown away, yet the flagpole seemed to grow from his back, remaining steady and unmoving.

In his left hand, he held a bell, and in his right, a snowy, almost transparent palm leaf fan. After shaking it twice, he remained suspended in mid-air without moving.

"Do it!"

Even though the opponent did not speak and his face was hidden due to the lowered head, the intense reaction of the Deceit Detection Stone was undeniable for Chen Yuanbai.

The disaster in Beining Village was caused by this human-shaped deceitful monster.

Upon his command, he drew his weapons and, along with two surrounding Xianyang Level individuals, directly charged into the sky towards the hunchbacked figure.

He Yang and Zhu Dong responded quickly, swiftly setting up their longbows and nocking two silver arrows, firing directly at the figure in mid-air.

Ring-ring...

"Mysterious Ice Dao, all things become void."

However, whether it was Chen Yuanbai and the two Xianyang Level individuals, or the silver-tipped arrows shot by He Yang and Zhu Dong, at the moment they approached the hunchbacked figure, they were instantly stalled as the second bell rang.

Not quite frozen; they only slowed down.

If looked at closely, it would be seen that a thin layer of frost was rapidly forming on their bodies.

Chen Yuanbai and the others realized something, their eyes filled with horror. They quickly retreated, fleeing towards the south.

On the ground, He Yang and Zhu Dong were dumbstruck.

Yet Chen Yuanbai and the others seemed to underestimate the situation. The speed at which they turned to flee was only slightly faster than before.

"Heart chilled to the bone, soul frozen and captured."

The hunchbacked figure’s voice was extremely low, like sandpaper scraping, creating a sinister sensation as he slowly spoke a second sentence, then suddenly lifted his head, revealing a terrifying face covered in white frost yet still showing wrinkles and furrows.

The figure’s chin had a dangling goatee, and though his eyes were snow-white with no pupils, both Chen Yuanbai and his companions facing away, and He Yang and Zhu Dong facing him, felt an unsettling feeling of being intensely stared upon.

"Freeze! All of you freeze! Hahaha..."

The hunchbacked man suddenly laughed maniacally, then wielded the snowy palm leaf fan in his right hand and waved it five times towards the group.

Whoosh...

Each time he waved, the fan emitted a horrifying cold wave, almost solidified, and He Yang and Zhu Dong on the ground instantly turned into ice sculptures like everyone else in Beining Village.

In the sky, Chen Yuanbai and the others desperately gathered all means of resistance, but the cold wave did not leave or dissipate, clinging tightly to their bodies. Running slowly at first, within just over a dozen breaths they were exhausted, turning into ice statues like the two below.

Bang...

The three skyward fell directly to the ground after being frozen into ice sculptures, and shattered into pieces of ice.

Strangely, even though their bodies shattered, there was no sign of blood; evidently not just their skin but their bones, flesh, and tendons were completely frozen by the chill.

"Three big rats, old me got lucky, old me got lucky, hahaha..."

The hunchbacked figure glancing at the shattered ice emitted another sinister laugh.

But he seemed to notice something, abruptly halting his laughter, and turned sharply to look towards the south side of Beining Village.

"Missed two little worms..."

He murmured, slightly moving as if to fly forward.

But before he could move further, an eerie black vapor suddenly rushed from behind.

He halted abruptly, lifting his fan to blow away the black vapor, then said in a low voice, "What is it?"
