Endless Winter: My Camp Upgrades Infinitely Chapter 1343 - 436: Qingxun Treasure Tree, Black Wind General and the Toll, Courage and Rescue (Part 5)

"29."

"That many? I only got 12."

"Don’t just capture them. Break their limbs first and then throw them in."

"Hahaha, makes sense."

......

While the soldiers persisted in their vicious laughter, the surviving group of more than two hundred youths had completely forfeited their bravery, gazes brimming with terror and dread, with scarcely any still mounting resistance.

"Xing’er, I’ll charge there with Second and Third Brother, and you run!"

Amid the crowd's western flank, an armored soldier unleashed a brutal punch, and prior to Su Xing’er’s response, her elder brother Su Jing shoved her aside.

Crack...

"Big Brother!"

Su Xing’er witnessed her elder brother Su Jing forfeit his left arm, severed by the soldier’s blade during her rescue. A heartbreaking wail burst from her, tears cascading down her cheeks.

Bam...

Yet, possessing merely a foundational power exceeding 60,000 pounds, Su Jing stood no chance against the Cold Resistance Level soldier. The amputation of his left arm marked only the start. The soldier rapidly drew back his massive saber, seizing Su Jing’s throat with his right hand before flinging him toward the Bone-Eroding Path.

In that dire instant, Second Brother Su Xu and Third Brother Su Zhi surged forward. One seized the soldier’s right arm, the other clamped his neck, battling fiercely to halt the toss of Su Jing.

"You little brats... ah!"

Restrained by the two brothers, the soldier showed no alarm. Following a savage chuckle, he twisted his frame to dislodge them. Yet as he shifted, a sharp cry escaped him.

Third Brother Su Zhi had stealthily drawn a dagger, plunging it into the soldier’s left eye.

Despite wielding the might of eight cavalrymen, the soldier’s eye remained a weak point. Stunned by the sudden thrust, he hastily circulated his energy to shield it, halting deeper penetration, though his eyeball lay destroyed.

"You bastards, you bastards, you bastards..."

Blinded in one eye, the soldier’s fury erupted to new heights, sealing his grim fate. That four Earth-digging Realm Limit youths had marred him only intensified his wrath.

Bang...

In wild frenzy, he flung off the pair clinging to him. His gaze fixed on the lovely Su Xing’er nearby, vengeful notions raced through his thoughts.

Still clutching Su Jing’s throat with his right hand, he contemplated snapping it outright but recalled the captain’s command. With a furious bellow, he launched Su Jing into the Bone-Eroding Path.

"You dare ruin my eye? I’ll make you watch as I play with this bitch until she’s barely alive, ahhh!"

Rip...

The soldier’s roars continued unabated. Ignoring Su Xu and Su Zhi sprawled on the ground, he lunged at Su Xing’er, hoisted her up, and rent her garments in a single ruthless tear, plainly set on ravaging her.

"Help me, help me, Big Brother, Second Brother, Third Brother, save Xing’er!"

"Hehehe, save you? With what? I’m saving them to watch as I toy with you, wretched girl, wretched girl!"

Lust barely fueled him; raw fury propelled the act, a way to vent and ease the agony of his lost eye.

"No!"

"Xing’er..."

Witnessing the soldier rip away nearly half of Su Xing’er’s clothes amid her desperate pleas, Su Xu and Su Zhi brimmed with hopelessness and resentment, lips gnawed nearly bloody.

Thud...

Yet right as the soldier prepared to strip Su Xing’er of her final shred of dignity.

From the Bone-Eroding Path, a rock abruptly shot forth, drilling through the soldier’s forehead and locking him motionless.

"Who is it!"

"Wasn’t that guy thrown in?"

"How did he get out?"

......

He Qing spotted the stone first. He whipped his head toward the Bone-Eroding Path, shock etching his features.

Su Jing, cast into it earlier, emerged unscathed from the Black Wind Zone, leaving the soldiers dumbfounded.

Bang...

Moments later, a black-clad youth burst from the Bone-Eroding Path.

No, he erupted outward.

Clutching a Starlight Long Sword, the black-robed youth—face ashen, half his body soaked in blood—was explosively hurled northward tens of meters, slamming into the snow.

Puh...

His breathing ragged, the youth coughed up blood onto the ground before swiveling to glare at the Bone-Eroding Path, terror in his eyes.

"It can’t come out?"

Quickly, realization dawned, erasing the dread with wild elation.

But the glee proved short-lived.

The youth pivoted to face He Qing and the soldiers, his look turning icy cold in an instant.

"Toll road, so that’s what it meant!"
