Endless Winter: My Camp Upgrades Infinitely

Chapter 1432 - 457: Real and Fake Yang Zhun, Strength and Trial, Team-Up Interlude, Cai Qiu’s Foundations (4)

Upon hearing the words of the younger sister, Su Jing and the others felt a slight tremor, and a strong fighting spirit immediately emerged in their eyes.

The third brother, Su Zhi, excitedly said, ”A few days ago, I inquired with the servants; they told me the Cold Beasts of the Blood Miasma Plain are different from elsewhere. Their blood, flesh, and bones are all poisonous and cannot be used normally, but the Blood Jade Pearl that grows on their foreheads is different. Not only can it be used to enhance cultivation, but the Cold Resistance Level can also use it to reform the Skin Membrane and continue to improve Battle Body Talent!”

”I also looked into it. For this reason, the trial slots for the Blood Miasma Plain are extremely precious. There used to be a maximum of 200 slots, but since last year, the situation changed. I heard Cai Qiu sent a large number of troops there the year before, clearing out a large safe zone, so last year, there were 500 slots, and this year, there are even more, a total of 1000 slots. The Four Great Commanderies, along with the younger generation from the five great cities, all came.”

Obviously, it wasn’t just Su Zhi who did the digging; second brother Su Xu did too.

When Su Xu mentioned the safe zone, even Su Xing’er was a bit puzzled, and she quickly asked, ”Second Brother, what does safe zone mean?”

Hearing this, Su Xu’s expression turned serious, preparing to answer, but just then, the door of the main living room quietly opened.

”When I came out from the Bone-Eroding Path, I interrogated the soldiers. Weren’t you all there? How quickly you forget what the Blood Miasma Plain is all about?”

”Greetings, Master!”

The four siblings of the Su family hurriedly paid their respects to Xia Hong, and after a moment’s thought, quickly remembered what the soldiers had said in the Evergreen Valley.

The Blood Miasma Plain is named after the long-lasting blood-colored miasma that shrouds the snowy plains. The Cold Beasts and Deceitful Monsters within, whether in ferocity or strength, are several times stronger than their counterparts outside. Moreover, the blood-colored miasma on the plains can confuse one’s mind, making them violent and murderous. Inhaling it at the Cold Resistance Level either results in madness or death, and even those of the Xianyang Level cannot stay long.

”The so-called safe zone is an area cleared by Cai Qiu’s army using special means, where the miasma concentration is relatively low. You at the Cold Resistance Level can rely on Dan Medicine and silver to withstand it for a while...”

Upon hearing Xia Hong’s explanation, the four finally understood.

However, Xia Hong was evidently not finished speaking.

He turned to the four siblings, feigning seriousness, and said, ”I don’t know exactly how long those at the Cold Resistance Level can endure, but when I met with Cai Qiu’s participants in the trial at the beginning of the month, their strength was at least above 20 Zong.

I’ve already inquired, the 200 participants in the trial the year before all had strengths above 40 Zong, with a death rate of 20%; last year, 500 participated, with slightly lower strengths but still above 30 Zong, yet the death rate was higher, reaching 30%...”

He paused briefly, noticing the trace of fear on their faces, and continued in a deep voice, ”This year, with 1000 slots, even if maintaining last year’s death rate, at least 300 people would die. You are essentially the weakest among them, most likely to be among those 300.”

Hearing Xia Hong’s words, the fear on the siblings’ faces intensified.

”I was invited to the Blood Miasma Plain this time to hunt with the Eldest Prince Cai Yunlan, so I won’t have time to take care of you... This trial is too dangerous. The four of you should give up!”

After pausing for a moment, Xia Hong directly suggested they give up the trial.

Upon hearing this, Su Jing and the others immediately clenched their fists, but thinking of the alarming death rate and their own strength, quickly loosened them, and their faces turned thoroughly gloomy.

”Master, Xing’er and my brothers are not afraid. Thirty percent is thirty percent. If we truly die in the Blood Miasma Plain, it will prove that we four siblings simply don’t deserve to be your disciples.”

This little girl is truly cunning...
