Endless Winter: My Camp Upgrades Infinitely

Chapter 1463 - 464: Frightening Cold Wave, Life Hanging by a Thread, the Ruthless and the Gift, Rapid Progress_2

Bang......

"Seal the cave entrance!"

The dead branches at the entrance were kicked open, and twelve people quickly rushed into the cave. Seeing the cold air surging in from outside, Su Xing’er immediately signaled everyone to reseal the entrance. It was a matter of life and death, so naturally, no one dared to be careless. Under the light of the Yellow Candle, they quickly used dead branches to cover the entrance again.

To ensure safety, Cai Shiqin used the already frozen Fireproof Shield to cover the entrance, adding another layer of protection.

It was night time. Even if the entrance wasn’t sealed, under the illumination of the four Yellow Candles, the inside of the cave was basically visible. But sealing the entrance not only blocked the invasion of the cold current, it also somewhat calmed everyone’s minds.

"It seems like the temperature inside this cave is a bit high!"

Once Su Xing’er’s emotions settled down, she immediately noticed that the temperature in the cave was unusually high.

The cave wasn’t wide, only five or six meters, but it was astonishingly deep, dark inside, clearly hiding more secrets.

Bang......

Su Xing’er hesitated for a moment, just about to suggest everyone move further inside, but before she could speak, there was a bang from behind.

She turned and saw her brother Su Jing being kicked against the cave wall, immediately showing a look of panic on her face as she hurried over.

"Zizheng, grab the Yellow Candles from those three, and check their bags to see if there’s any more inside."

Having been fleeing all the way, Cai Shiyan, at this moment confirming the environment was safe, couldn’t help revealing his true colors.

On the other side, Cai Zizheng and Cai Ziwen, didn’t even need a word from him. The moment he kicked Su Jing, they simultaneously took action, grabbing the Yellow Candles from Su Xu and Su Zhi’s hands, then hitting the two to the ground.

"Princely Heir, what do you want to do!"

Suddenly encountering a change, Cai Shiqin was momentarily stunned, but quickly recovered, her expression darkening, as she hurried to Su Xing’er’s side, helping to lift Su Jing and the others, glaring angrily at Cai Shiyan and the others.

But upon seeing this, her expression turned extremely grim.

Not to mention Cai Zizheng and Cai Ziwen, the other five Cai family disciples, all stood on Cai Shiyan’s side, even her own cousin Cai Qifeng, and cousin Cai Yuwan, stood over with him.

"Shiqin, you are from the county mansion, our family. At this critical moment of life and death, you still want to stand on the side of these four outsiders?"

Cai Shiyan sternly questioned Cai Shiqin, his face full of coldness.

The Yellow Candle is a life-saving item. How could such a life-saving item be allowed to remain in the hands of these four worthless people?

Since seeing that the Yellow Candle could resist the cold current, he had been planning to grab it. Just now, fleeing outside, for fear of recklessly trying to seize it and ending up frozen by the cold current, he had held back.

Now, in this safe cave environment, of course, he could take action!

"Young Prince, if Xing’er hadn’t brought out the Yellow Candle just now, we would have died long ago. Is this how the Cai family repays kindness with enmity?"

Cai Shiqin’s stern rebuke made Cai Shiyan and the others’ faces suddenly stiffen.

"Qifeng, Yuwan, during the first wave of the cold current, you survived because of my Fireproof Shield, and now you stand with Cai Shiyan against me?"

Upon hearing this, Cai Qifeng and Cai Yuwan’s eyes immediately became evasive.

With nearly 300 years of heritage, the Landgrave’s Lineage had passed down more than ten generations. The Cai family, with no fewer than several thousand descendants, naturally couldn’t be as harmonious as a small family.

The Cai family began to split starting with the second generation, dividing into four counties and three cities, a total of seven branches. At the county level, it divided further. The Linchu County Governor Cai Qiuyang had many offspring, but only seven achieved cultivation success, so naturally, the Governor Mansion was divided into seven branches.

Cai Shiqin had one more thing left unsaid: unlike Cai Shiyan and the five others who came from the second and third rooms of Lin Chu County Mansion, she and the other two were from the sixth branch, and their fathers were brothers born of the same mother.

For the two of them to stand on Cai Shiyan’s side, helping him against their own cousin Cai Shiqin, was clearly inappropriate.

"Shiqin, I am from the second branch, you are from the sixth, though different branches, aren’t we family when facing these four outsiders? You saw the Yellow Candle’s effect. I estimate at least sixty to seventy percent of the disciples participating in this trial have died. If we don’t hold these Yellow Candles in our own hands, our hope of escape is slim. You don’t want to die here, do you?"

Hearing Cai Shiyan’s words, Cai Qifeng and Cai Yuwan visibly gained more confidence, as if finding a reasonable justification for their actions, even starting to persuade Cai Shiqin.

"Commandery Princess, why so sided with these four outsiders?"

"This Yellow Candle can save lives, it must be held by us, and they might have more in their bags. If we take them, we might escape this cold current area."

Su Xing’er’s expression was extremely grim at this moment, especially seeing Cai Shiqin silent, she immediately backed away a few steps with her three brothers.

Fortunately, Cai Shiqin did not disappoint her.

"Sophistry, nonsense. To save your own life, fabricating such a grandiose excuse, if today’s events were to be known, what face would you have left to call yourselves part of the Landgrave’s Lineage, Cai family descendants?"

Cai Shiqin sneered, her words extremely sharp, clearly angered, after sternly questioning, she blocked in front of Su Xing’er and the others, drawing the Longsword from her waist, her expression resolute: "Xing’er, don’t worry, if they dare to act, they’ll have to kill this Commandery Princess first!"
