Endless Winter: My Camp Upgrades Infinitely

Xia Hong had experienced the hardness of the Goldscale Tree.

Although it was harder than the Vermilion Frost Tree, it was still not enough under the power of the Earth-Digging Realm, which exceeded ten thousand pounds.

Moreover, this wooden house was not made from an entire tree, and it was not like the Goldscale Trees in Redwood Ridge, which were covered with a layer of frozen crystal.

Luo Ming had broken through to the Earth-Digging Realm for many years, and his strength was definitely more than ten thousand pounds.

So, when he struck down with his blade, the wooden door should have broken.

But what actually happened stunned Xia Hong and the other three.

With a cracking sound, Luo Ming's blade did break the wooden door, creating a crack half a meter long, but that was all it did.

"How is that possible?"

Even Luo Ming himself couldn't believe it, and he subconsciously asked.

But before everyone could react, the entire wooden house began to tremble violently.

It was as if Luo Ming's strike had injured it. After the violent shaking, the crack that had been cut out actually began to slowly heal as the surrounding wood squirmed inward.

Taking advantage of the gap as the crack healed, Xia Hong inadvertently glanced at the situation outside, and his pupils suddenly contracted. He immediately shouted to Yuan Cheng and the others outside:

"Look behind you! The four wooden houses over there have also come to life! Be careful!"

Not only the wooden house they were trapped in, but the four wooden houses that had clearly collapsed when they first entered the camp were also slowly gathering and standing upright. Obviously, like the one they were in, they had also been modified by the Wood Puppet Ghoul into mobile structures.

The gap in the wooden house completely healed, and Xia Hong could no longer see the situation outside, making him even more anxious.

Luo Ming also noticed the situation outside. Their camp also had more than twenty Lumbering Realm cultivators outside, making him even more anxious than Xia Hong.

Since his previous strike had failed to split the wooden door, he quickly withdrew his large blade and struck five or six times in a row. But no matter how many cracks he created, the wooden door healed itself at an extremely fast speed, just like before.

They simply couldn't get out.

And just at this moment, the fifteen rooms that had been closed suddenly erupted with a roaring tide of people.

No, to be precise, some rushed out, while others crawled…

"Father, my neck is about to break! Save me, save me!"

"Leader, save my son! His lower body has been severed!"

"Bai He, Bai He, is that you back? My eyes have been plucked out, and my legs have been cut off! Go check on our son, he's still alive!"

"Wuu wuu wuu, Father, save me! My head has been split open, it hurts so much, it hurts so much! Father, save me…"

… … … … … …

If the scene outside when they first entered the camp could be described as a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood,

then the scene before them now was truly a Nine Nether Hell.

Five or six hundred people were frantically rushing towards them.

As these people rushed, they cried out for help.

Less than half of those running in the front were relatively intact, although their faces were filled with extreme fear. Some even held weapons in their hands.

But the vast majority of those trailing behind them were crawling on the ground.

Without exception, these people were missing arms and legs. Some had no arms, no limbs, no lower bodies, no halves of their bodies, and some even had half of their heads chopped off, while others were just heads and torsos, struggling to crawl on the ground…

The wooden house space, which had shown no abnormalities before, was now filled with a pungent stench and the ground was covered in blood as these people rushed or crawled out of the rooms.

The Wood Puppet Ghoul had actually managed to control five or six hundred people in these small rooms, without making a sound, and even managed to seal off the smell.

Although shocked by the horrifying scene before him, Xia Hong quickly realized that the Wood Puppet Ghoul's methods were becoming stronger and stronger.

Could it be that it had advanced to the intermediate level?

If that was the case, then none of them would survive today!

Xia Hong pulled his thoughts back and saw that Luo Ming and the other four were actually rushing up to meet the people running out of the rooms. He suddenly pulled him back and shouted to Shang Ping and the other three:

"Don't go over there! It's not certain if they are even human!"

"Then what should we do? Are we just going to sit back and do nothing?"

Although Luo Ming was pulled back and didn't go forward, he roared in anger, his emotions already out of control.

Not only Luo Ming, but Shang Ping and the other three were the same.

Because these people who rushed and crawled out of the rooms were their companions and relatives whom they had lived with day and night. Inside were their wives, children, and even parents.

How could they possibly calm down?

Xia Hong naturally understood the four of them and didn't say much. He quickly took out a piece of Condensed Fire Oil from his pocket and smeared it on himself, as well as on the hands and weapons of the four.

"This is Condensed Fire Oil, it ignites upon contact with a ghoul. You can save people, but be careful. Anyone controlled by a puppet ghoul will catch fire if they touch this oil!"

The anxious Luo Ming and the other four didn't have time to listen to Xia Hong's explanation. They just nodded and immediately rushed up to meet their relatives who were crying out for help.

In fact, they didn't even need to rush up. When Xia Hong was smearing them with Condensed Fire Oil, those people had already rushed over, less than five or six meters away from them.

"Wu'er, how are you?"

"I'm fine, Father, quickly save Mother, she's behind me."

The first to rush up was Shang Ping's son, Shang Wu, who was caught by Shang Ping.

Seeing that his son still had all his limbs and his body was relatively intact, Shang Ping breathed a sigh of relief, pulled his son behind him, and quickly searched for his wife in the crowd.

Luo Ming also saw his eldest son, Luo Yun. Fortunately, he was like Shang Wu, with all his limbs intact. He rushed forward and grabbed his son's hand, wanting to lead him away from the crowd behind.

But as soon as he touched Luo Yun's hand, the panic on Luo Yun's face instantly turned into fear and ferocity. Immediately afterwards, he took out a dagger from behind and slashed it towards Luo Ming's neck.

Clang… … … …

Caught off guard, Luo Ming blocked with his blade, and the enormous force from the dagger actually forced him back two or three meters.

Although he had avoided a fatal blow, Luo Ming still had a look of deep pain and sorrow in his eyes as he looked at his strange son.

Whether it was his behavior or his strength, it all indicated that the person in front of him, wearing his son's skin, was not Luo Yun at all.

The truth was also the same. Luo Yun revealed a fierce look on his face after the strike missed, and he wanted to rush forward again, but after only one step, he suddenly looked down at his arm and let out a painful roar.

"Hoo… … … … Hoo… … … … Ah… … … …"

The sound was hoarse, ear-piercing, and unpleasant, definitely not human.

Boom… … … …

A ball of fire suddenly rose on his arm. The fire was extremely domineering, like a plague, and it instantly burned all over his body.

In just a few breaths, "Luo Yun" was burned to ashes.

Looking at his son's body burning to ashes, there was no joy on Luo Ming's face, but the sorrow in his eyes became even stronger.

"Leader Luo, there's no time to be stunned! Quickly distinguish between the real people and the ghouls. Maybe the Wood Puppet Ghoul has other tricks up its sleeve. If we don't hurry, more people will die later!"

Seeing the ghoul-controlled Luo Yun burned to ashes by the Condensed Fire Oil, Xia Hong breathed a sigh of relief. He was afraid that the Wood Puppet Ghoul's strength would become stronger and the Condensed Fire Oil would lose its effect.

Although he had confirmed that the effectiveness of the Condensed Fire Oil was still the same as before, Xia Hong was still shocked by the Wood Puppet Ghoul's cunning and treachery when he looked at the hundreds of people in front of him.

Among these hundreds of people, some were real and some were fake.

Was his Condensed Fire Oil really enough?

The Wood Puppet Ghoul had suffered a loss from the Condensed Fire Oil in the cave just a few days ago.

How could it have come up with a countermeasure so quickly!

What luck, one Platinum Giant God wasn't enough, and now another one has appeared, it's simply explosive!
