Endless Winter: My Camp Upgrades Infinitely

When the congealed fire oil was taken out of the smelting furnace, a portion was only the size of a fist.

Although it was solid in form, it could be liquefied with a light touch.

Xia Hong couldn't be sure how many strange creatures a portion of congealed fire oil could kill, but he was certain that it wouldn't be enough to test on all five or six hundred people in front of him.

While Xia Hong's mind was racing, the stream of people rushing out of the room had already reached the five of them.

The deadly thing was that there were real and fake people mixed together, making it impossible to guard against.

The problem was that they didn't know who was real and who was fake; they only knew to run towards the five of them, wanting to hide behind them.

In this critical situation, Luo Ming couldn't even grieve over the death of his eldest son, and together with Shang Ping and the other two, he had to distinguish the real from the fake while also guarding against sneak attacks from the fake ones.

"Back off, don't come near!"

Seeing many people coming towards him, Xia Hong's expression couldn't help but become tense. He raised his stone axe and ordered the people to retreat, not because he had no feelings for the people of Rogue Camp, but because these people were mixed with puppets controlled by the Wood Puppet Ghoul, and he could die if he wasn't careful.

Of course, he wouldn't risk his life.

The real people were naturally intimidated by him.

But the fake ones couldn't help it.

Whoosh…

A gust of wind came from the right side of his body, Xia Hong's eyebrows twitched violently, and he quickly dodged to the left, using his right hand to wield the axe and block the person's weapon horizontally.

Clang…

What was slashing from the left was an iron short sword, obviously an item from Rogue Camp. The short sword almost effortlessly cut off the stone axe in his hand, and then thrust upwards from below, aiming at his chin.

"This power, these puppets, are Earth Burrowing Realm!"

The moment Xia Hong received the stone axe, his face changed. It wasn't the sharpness of the iron weapon, but the force exerted by the puppet that attacked him was almost the same as his.

With no time for shock, Xia Hong continued to retreat, dodging the short sword aimed at his chin. He jumped backwards with his legs, kicked hard against the door panel behind him, and lunged to grab the person who had attacked him.

Almost instantly, the congealed fire oil in his hand took effect.

"Ah…"

The one who attacked him was a puppet in the form of a woman. The flames from the congealed fire oil burned her, causing her to scream in agony, but even so, she continued to wave the short sword in her hand, trying to stab Xia Hong who was grabbing her.

Xia Hong swayed left and right, pulling the woman against the wooden wall, dodging her short sword while being wary of sneak attacks from others.

The congealed fire oil was indeed overbearing. Before long, it burned the woman to ashes, and once the woman puppet turned to ash, the remaining flames would be extinguished immediately even if they burned on Xia Hong's body.

Although the congealed fire oil ignited upon contact with strange creatures, it was completely harmless to the human body.

But watching the congealed fire oil burn the woman's corpse to ashes, not only did Xia Hong not relax, but he became even more solemn than before.

A woman?

Around the Red Wood Ridge camps, even adult men couldn't get enough cold beast meat, let alone women. All the women in all the camps were definitely ordinary people.

But the woman who had just attacked him had the power of the Earth Burrowing Realm.

What did this mean?

This meant that the puppets made by the Wood Puppet Ghoul could already exert the strength of the Earth Burrowing Realm!

"Chief Xia, the congealed fire oil is used up, can you give me a little more!"

Luo Ming's voice came, and Xia Hong turned his head to look, and his heart tightened.

Shang Ping and the other two were still working hard to distinguish the real from the fake. Although each of them had saved more than a dozen people, the congealed fire oil on their hands and weapons was running out, and they were all more or less injured.

And Luo Ming, who was asking him for help, was even more surrounded, and even stabbed in the waist, blood gurgling out.

It wasn't just a day or two since Luo Ming and the other three had broken through to the Earth Burrowing Realm. Xia Hong had observed before that the basic strength of the four was above his own.

With his congealed fire oil, the four of them had become like this, which could only mean that the puppets mixed in with the real people were really all in the Earth Burrowing Realm, as he had thought.

"Chief Luo, take it!"

Seeing Luo Ming's bad situation, Xia Hong threw the remaining piece of congealed fire oil that he had used to smear his weapon directly across the air to him.

Luo Ming caught it in the air and quickly broke the piece of congealed fire oil into four pieces, giving one piece to each of Shang Ping and the other two behind him, and then immediately smeared it on his hands and weapons.

Congealed fire oil was indeed useful.

Those puppets who originally wanted to approach and sneak attack would immediately scream when they touched it. Even if they could exert the strength of the Earth Burrowing Realm, they couldn't get any advantage in the hands of Luo Ming and the other three.

The replenished Luo Ming and the other three were like tigers with wings. In a short while, they rescued dozens more people. In just this moment, they had distinguished nearly a hundred people behind them.

From entering the camp until now, the look of despair that the four of them had always maintained on their faces had finally changed somewhat at this moment.

Although the few people they saved were less than one-tenth of the total population, at least they had recovered a little.

However, there were really too many people, and the congealed fire oil was not enough!

"Chief Xia, give me some more congealed fire oil, we can save more people."

The congealed fire oil in his hand was running out, and Luo Ming looked at Xia Hong with incomparable anticipation, hoping that he could take out another portion of congealed fire oil.

However, Xia Hong's face made his expectations disappear immediately.

"Chief Luo, congealed fire oil is not something that's all over the streets. I only have two pieces in total, and I've already used one. If I give you the remaining piece, can we separate all the people behind us? That Wood Puppet Ghoul hasn't shown up yet!"

The latest novel is first published on Six 9 books bar!

Luo Ming looked back at the inside of the wooden house, roughly estimating that there were at least three or four hundred people, and his face suddenly turned ugly.

He knew that Xia Hong was right. Congealed fire oil could not distinguish so many people, and the Wood Puppet Ghoul had not yet appeared, perhaps because the other party was afraid of the congealed fire oil and had not shown up.

Once they used up the congealed fire oil, what would happen if the Wood Puppet Ghoul showed its true form?

"Chief Luo, give up. Use the congealed fire oil to open the wooden house. The people outside are also very dangerous. If something happens to them, the situation will only get worse!"

Luo Ming clenched his fists, looking at the crowd in the wooden house, and the group of people crawling on the ground not far away. Although he struggled in his heart, he immediately made a decision.

"Shang Ping, smear the congealed fire oil on your weapons, and split open the wooden house to let these people escape safely first."

"Yes, Chief!"

Seeing Luo Ming so decisive, Xia Hong's heart suddenly relaxed.

He was just afraid that the other party would be indecisive and unwilling to give up the people in the wooden house.

There were many people in the wooden house, but they definitely couldn't save them all, and if they wanted to continue saving them, they would not only waste the congealed fire oil, but also take risks. After all, they didn't know how many puppets were controlled by the Wood Puppet Ghoul.

And if they continued to stay inside, the people outside would be in danger.

Rogue and all the Lumbering Realms of Great Xia, as well as the Lumbering Realms of the four camps such as Huang Zhaohonggang, were all outside. If something happened to these people, then even if they defeated the Wood Puppet Ghoul today, it would be meaningless.

The wooden house that trapped them seemed to only be able to trap people and had no other use, but it was not clear about the other four.

In the gap of Xia Hong's thinking, Luo Ming and the other three had already smeared the last bit of congealed fire oil on their weapons, and then the four of them exerted their strength together, and slammed the newly closed wooden wall with their knives.

Crack…

Just like before, the four knives all chopped in, and did not directly break the wooden door, but unlike just now, after the blade chopped into the wooden wall, a ball of sparks burst out immediately.

The sparks encountered the moving wooden walls, as if they were extremely excited, and instantly expanded the fire, burning a large hole in the wooden wall at an extremely fast speed.

The wooden wall, which originally wanted to continue to close, was touched by the fire burned by the congealed fire oil, and suddenly seemed to face a great enemy, and did not dare to continue to close, but directly abandoned the part that was burned.

In this way, a fire hole with a diameter of four or five meters was immediately burned in the wall.

"Everyone escape, quickly!"

Luo Ming gave an order, and all the rescued people escaped through the fire hole.

Xia Hong did not rush out with those people, but looked at the situation outside through the fire hole, and his face suddenly became anxious.

"Chief Luo, hurry out to help!"

Xia Hong didn't care that the people inside hadn't finished walking, shouted at Luo Ming, and rushed out first, bypassing those ordinary people.

Luo Ming bit his teeth here. He originally wanted to continue to stay in the wooden house to continue saving people, but when he turned his head and saw the situation outside, his face suddenly tightened, and he did not dare to hesitate any longer, and immediately took Shang Ping and the other three and followed out.
