Endless Winter: My Camp Upgrades Infinitely

Chen Cang spent decades, dispatching more than a hundred thousand Cold Resistance Level elite soldiers in rotating shifts for construction, accompanied throughout by Xianyang-level powerhouses, with even Tribulation Body Realm forces taking turns for on-site command, forcibly carving out a path up to 60 kilometers long within the rock wall on the lake’s west side.

Initially, Chen Cang believed that with this path, large-scale deployment of soldiers southward would be possible, facilitating territorial expansion.

But in the first year after the path opened, Chen Cang sent a test army of ten thousand south, only to encounter a tide at Yan Ze Lake midway. It wasn’t an ordinary tide but one accompanied by thousands of Water Cold Beasts surging towards the west rock wall...

None of the ten thousand soldiers survived, and even the three commanding Xianyang-level warriors couldn’t escape, with only one Tribulation Body Realm escaping back.

By then, Chen Cang had realized that without thoroughly solving the issues of Blood Miasma Plain and Yan Ze Lake, large-scale southward expansion was impossible.

Of course, while mass southward movement was impractical, small groups could still move around.

The path that took over a decade of effort and immense human and resource investment to carve finally found its use.

This path, with a total length of 60 kilometers, was carved out along the west rock wall of Yan Ze Lake, windingly twisting and turning all the way, also affected by blood-colored miasma, hence Chen Cang named it: Nine Bend Blood Corridor.

Passing through the Nine Bend Blood Corridor, one would first encounter an abruptly rising mountain, though less than two thousand meters high. Only by crossing this mountain would one truly leave the area shrouded by blood-colored miasma.

Astute individuals can certainly see that the reason the blood-colored miasma doesn’t extend further south is due to the blocking of this mountain.
