Endless Winter: My Camp Upgrades Infinitely

Chapter 1457 - 463: Green-eyed Fire Suanni, Battle Royale and Advancement, Furious Counterkill, Trial Mutation (Part 2)

After the initial shock, Xia Hong clenched his fist and sensed again, confirming that his power had indeed increased so much. His face was instantly filled with ecstasy. Then, as if realizing something, he quickly took out a blood-colored crystal from the Yellow Mustard Bag.

This was something he had inadvertently obtained after killing an Iron Bone Corpse Demon in the Romantic Flower Sea earlier, which flew out of the shattered bones of the demon.

The color of the Blood Jade Crystal was almost identical to that of the Blood Jade Pearl, and both were about the size of a fingernail. The only difference was their shape: one was a crystal, resembling a gemstone; the other was round, like a Dan Medicine.

”They’re from the same source, so the usage method must be the same!”

Xia Hong observed for a moment and directly swallowed the Blood Jade Crystal into his stomach.

Boom......

The crystal entered his stomach, and a surge of vast energy burst forth, quickly spreading inside his body. It flowed through the skin membrane, flesh, meridians, and organs, finally seeping slowly into his bones.

During this process, Xia Hong’s face had already turned red because as the crystal’s energy flowed through his body and organs, the terrifying tearing sensation flooded his mind, almost causing him to faint from the pain.

Xia Hong clenched his fists tightly. Despite his body trembling uncontrollably, he still did not utter a sound. Even at this moment, he split his attention to monitor the situation outside the cave.

His talent far surpassed that of ordinary people, so the process of Reshaping Skin, regenerating flesh, and refining bones brought him pain that was several to ten times more intense than normal. Up to now, his nerves had become incredibly resistant to pain.

As the crystal energy infused into his bones, the six-zhang-tall dark red Bone Appearance slowly appeared behind him. The blood-red meridians on the perimeter of the Bone Appearance were distinct, clearly approaching full formation compared to when he had just broken through.

”Huh... Huh......”

Xia Hong’s Bone Burning had grown many mysterious patterns resembling magma. As the crystal energy seeped into his bone marrow, those magma patterns seemed to be infused with new energy and began to emit a strong light.

Wave after wave of strong light clearly brought immense pain to Xia Hong, making him emit suppressed low growls. Yet, amidst this continuous growling, his dark red bones became more textured. To be precise, the original dark red was turning into a bright red.

”The Blood Jade Pearl compensates for flesh defects, and this Blood Jade Crystal targets the bone defects; it’s all about enhancing the foundation, this...”

In less than a hundred breaths, Xia Hong had completely absorbed a piece of Blood Jade Crystal. As the pain gradually receded, he regained his senses and first uttered a low murmur of surprise and joy, then clenched his fist to sense it, his pupils suddenly contracting:

”About 0.3 Jun in a single go, I’m now... 48 Jun?”

Xia Hong was extremely sensitive to his power. Before entering the Blood Miasma Plain, his power was 47.5 Jun, so three drops of Blood Jade Pearl and one piece of Blood Jade Crystal had cumulatively increased his power by nearly half a Jun?

”Killing the Cold Beast gives Blood Jade Pearls, killing the Iron Bone Corpse Demon gives Blood Jade Crystals, then killing the Copper Bone Corpse Demon, wouldn’t there be something even better?”

If there’s a Copper Bone, wouldn’t there also be Silver Bone, Golden Bone...

Xia Hong’s expression suddenly stiffened, hurriedly suppressing the unrealistic thoughts.

He had seen the four Copper Bone Corpse Demons in the Romantic Flower Sea earlier, and their power was basically around 30 Jun. The key was those corpse demons had outstanding defensive capabilities, liked to operate in groups, and cooperated with Deceitful Monsters, making them not easy to deal with. If Copper Bone Level was like this, then even if there were Silver Bone or Golden Bone Corpse Demons, they wouldn’t be something he could handle now.

Yet even so, Xia Hong’s pupils were still full of fervor at this moment.
