Chapter 162: Flesh and blood building a wall, the leader hasn't broken through yet?

"Lin Wan, Shi Lu, gather all the children in the main hall on the second floor."

"Shi Ping, take some men to move the furnace to the third floor first, and light a pile of ordinary coal for warmth. If I tell you to extinguish the furnace fire, it must be extinguished at any moment."

"The remaining Earth-Digging Realm cultivators, go to the smithy, take bows, arrows, and broadswords, and each person take a piece of Fire-Condensing Oil. Follow me to the third floor. Also, get ten more people to move all the iron arrows to the third floor."

"All Woodcutting Realm cultivators in the camp, except for those with special tasks, take a five-stone bow and a piece of Fire-Condensing Oil, and all go to the first floor. Hearing Mu Dong, take them and tell them what to do!"

"What are you still standing there for? The beast tide is here, hurry up!"

As soon as Xia Chuan reached the second floor, he didn't even have time to explain to everyone, issuing four orders directly. Seeing that everyone was still a bit dazed, he shouted loudly.

A beast tide!

Thump, thump, thump...

The vibration of the ground continued, and everyone instantly sobered up. The few people named had their expressions change in shock, and they immediately turned to take action.

"All children, gather here with me. Xiao Lu, help me hold Yue Yun. I'll take the other sisters downstairs to bring the children from the first and third floors over."

"Alright, Sister Wan."

Lin Wan and Shi Lu were already surrounded by many adult women; the core ones were almost all family members of the hunting team, and a few were holding infants in their arms.

Seeing that Lin Wan had even handed over her own child, they followed suit, handing the infants in their arms to the people beside Shi Lu. Then, a small portion followed Lin Wan downstairs, most began searching and notifying in every room on the second floor, and a few went up to the third floor.

There were residents on all three floors of the wooden house, but relatively speaking, the second floor had the most. The first and third floors had fewer people, and very few children, so only a small number of people were needed.

On Shi Ping's side, he had already led men to pull iron chains in the center, hoisting the iron-smelting furnace to the third floor.

At the entrance of the camp supply office, Tong Xinglong and Ying Yi began distributing weapons and Fire-Condensing Oil to everyone. The Earth-Digging Realm cultivators received ten-stone bows and broadswords, while the Woodcutting Realm cultivators only received a five-stone bow.

Those who received weapons, the Earth-Digging Realm cultivators all went to the third floor, while the Woodcutting Realm cultivators all followed Hearing Mu Dong downstairs to the first floor.

And Xia Chuan, who had issued the orders, had long since taken Luo Yuan, Yuan Cheng, and the others who came out of the smithy up to the third floor.

The third floor was already empty. After Xia Chuan rushed up, he headed straight for the large door by the west corridor.

The wooden house had three floors. The first floor only had the main door open; the four sides of the second floor each had a window every ten meters that could accommodate two people at the same time; the highest third floor had a three-meter-wide corridor left on all four sides.

Xia Chuan didn't open the door directly, but first took out a pair of animal hide gloves from his bosom and put them on. Then he took out a hood, completely covering his face, leaving only a pair of eyes exposed, and put on an animal fur hat, covering his entire head tightly.

Finally, he took out a cloth woven from white silk threads and tied it over his eyes.

Luo Yuan, Yuan Cheng, Zhao Long, and the Earth-Digging Realm cultivators who subsequently reached the third floor all followed his example, covering their entire bodies tightly.

"It's daylight now. We've tested it before; this allows us to stay outside for ten minutes briefly. After ten minutes, we must rotate to the side of the furnace to warm up and recover."

"Hearing Mu Dong is downstairs. We have a total of sixty-seven Earth-Digging Realm cultivators here, divided into two groups. Luo Yuan and I will each lead a group. My group will go out first, Luo Yuan, your group will hide in the shadows of the house and shoot arrows, and rotate when the time is up."

"Alright, understood!"

Time was limited. Xia Chuan finished speaking quickly, signaled to everyone, took a deep breath, and with a solemn expression, slowly opened the wooden door leading to the corridor.

Whoosh...

The bone-chilling cold wind whistled in from outside the door. Although everyone had covered their bodies tightly, more than half of them still shivered unnaturally.

Sss...

If the Earth-Digging Realm cultivators on the inner layer were just shivering, then the people on the outside started trembling directly, especially Xia Chuan, who was facing the daylight; a layer of white frost even quickly formed on the outer layer of his clothes.

One look at that, and it was clearly a phenomenon caused by the alternation of cold and heat.

The wooden house had an iron-smelting furnace to raise the temperature, but outside was different.

The cold air outside combined with the bone-chilling cold sunlight made Xia Chuan unable to help but stand still and freeze for three or four breaths.

He gritted his teeth, took the iron-core bow from his back, led everyone onto the corridor, and looked through the cloth woven from white silk threads toward the entrance of the passage on the west side of the valley.

Thump, thump, thump...

The trembling of the ground became more and more intense. Although the wooden house was still two or three hundred meters away from the passage entrance, Xia Chuan and the others could still clearly perceive how terrifying the scale of the cold beasts rushing over from outside was.

Bang!

A loud noise exploded from the passage entrance. A hole with a diameter of three or four meters suddenly appeared, and countless wood chips and stones rushed into the valley from the hole like a mountain landslide or a tsunami.

"Roar..."

A head with snow-white manes poked out from behind the hole, blood-red vertical pupils staring at the wooden house, then lifted slightly upward, seemingly having seen Xia Chuan and the others on the third floor of the wooden house clearly, shrinking suddenly, followed by even more violent roars and growls.

"Roar... roar... roar..."

Bang!!!

Another five or six huge impact sounds came from outside the valley entrance. The valley entrance, where they had piled up countless rubble and wood and reinforced countless times, seemed to have been washed away by a flood, collapsing directly.

The impact sound rang out, followed by rubble and wood chips flying all over the sky. The passage entrance, nearly fifty meters wide, shattered with a bang, and there was nothing left to block it.

At this moment, the scene outside the passage was also completely reflected in the eyes of Xia Chuan and the group of Earth-Digging Realm cultivators on the third floor.

"Gulp! Three hundred, four hundred... how many are there?"

Yuan Cheng's pupils shook, and he swallowed a mouthful of saliva, as if he couldn't even feel the cold outside anymore, and the trembling of his body was stopped by fear.

Not just him, Luo Yuan, the three Zhao brothers, Yue Feng, Lin Kai, Xu Ning, and the rest of the Earth-Digging Realm cultivators on the third floor, their faces instantly filled with despair.

At the valley entrance, countless cold beasts were rushing in, black and dense.

The first to rush in were the larger snow-maned beasts and magic sheep. The two types of cold beasts were on the left and right, with body lengths between three and five meters, and there were almost a hundred of each.

No wonder, no wonder so much rubble and wood at the valley entrance couldn't stop them.

Two or three hundred snow-maned beasts and magic sheep, even if they were just low-level ones, the destructive power caused when charging at the same time was enough to shake the heavens and the earth.

What was even more fatal was that above these two types of cold beasts, there were still frost wolves climbing up the north and south sides of the valley one by one, grabbing the stone walls and bypassing from both sides to rush toward the wooden house.

Directly above the valley, that is, the intersection of the stone walls on both sides of the Twin Dragon Mountain, heads of Teng Jiao poked out, each with blood-red eyes, staring at the wooden house below, also descending along the mountain wall to the east side of the wooden house, that is, the depths of the valley.

"What are you all standing there for, waiting to die?"

Xia Chuan's angry roar also trembled uncontrollably, which showed that the despair in his heart was no less than anyone else's.

But despair was despair, his movements of drawing the bow and nocking an arrow were not slow at all, and he quickly shot iron arrows at a low-level snow-maned beast that had already started hitting the wooden wall.

"Everyone, don't be dazed. No matter what, we can't just stand here and wait to die!"

"That's right, fight these beasts to the death. I just broke through to the Earth-Digging Realm, no matter what, I have to take one down with me."

"With the wooden wall blocking, kill one for every one that comes."

The others suddenly woke up at this time, roaring to embolden themselves, while walking forward quickly, drawing their bows and shooting wildly at the outside of the wooden wall.

Whoosh... whoosh... whoosh...

Not just the people on the corridor, in the shadows inside the wooden house, Luo Yuan led another group of people, while handing arrows to Xia Chuan's group, while looking for gaps, also shooting arrows at the periphery.

Bang...

The first snow-maned beast hit the wooden wall several times in a row, but it didn't shake it at all.

Not only could it not shake it, but the wooden wall seemed to have become even sturdier under its impact, and the movement caused by the subsequent impacts became smaller and smaller.

Not only did the movement become smaller and smaller, but the parts of the snow-maned beast's body that hit it also appeared with many wounds, from which dark green blood flowed out.

Seeing this scene, Xia Chuan and the rest of the people's eyes suddenly lit up.

The west wooden wall had already been piled up to a hundred meters thick and more than ten meters high, and it used an oblique cross method, and many specially made iron spikes were arranged on it.

Roar...

Pain stimulated the ferocity of the snow-maned beast. After an angry roar, it didn't retreat, but instead used even greater force to launch a charge again.

Pfft!

However, Xia Chuan and the others upstairs would not give it a second chance.

Dozens of iron arrows passed through countless gaps in the wooden wall and hit the snow-maned beast's body directly. One must know that these iron arrows each had a terrifying impact force of over ten thousand jin.

The seventy-centimeter-long pure iron arrows mostly pierced through the snow-maned beast's skin and flesh, inserting completely into its body, and a few even pierced through the skin and flesh, with the arrowheads exposed from the other end.

Those few were naturally shot by Xia Chuan, Zhao Long, and the others.

In the blink of an eye, the snow-maned beast was covered with iron arrows. Although its ferocity was even greater, its strength was clearly much weaker than before.

Seeing the snow-maned beast's strength wither, the light in Xia Chuan's eyes became even brighter.

"The front row are all just low-level cold beasts. With the wooden wall blocking and our arrow shooting, we can block them!"

Xia Chuan and the hunting team were actually not afraid of low-level cold beasts; the previous distraction and despair were just because there were too many cold beasts.

This scene had a greater impact on those who had recently broken through to the Earth-Digging Realm.

They had never gone out to hunt cold beasts before, so they were not only unfamiliar with cold beasts but also had a natural fear in their hearts. Now, the iron arrows they shot could not only hurt the snow-maned beast but even had the possibility of killing it, so their confidence immediately rose.

"I thought they were so powerful. Brothers, this can be considered hunting!"

"Hahaha, fortunately, Lord Xia Chuan arranged the wooden wall in advance."

"Not just the wooden wall, if it weren't for the fact that we made so many bows and had so many arrows in the past two days, we wouldn't be so extravagant now."

Whoosh... whoosh... whoosh...

The loud roars of everyone boosting morale didn't make Xia Chuan's expression look much better.

Because from everyone's voices, he could hear a very obvious sense of despair.

It was normal, because what they had just hit was only the first one.

Beside and behind that snow-maned beast, there were still snow-maned beasts constantly replenishing; and to the right of the snow-maned beasts, the larger golden-eyed magic sheep had also arrived by this time.

The impact force that snow-maned beasts and magic sheep could burst out in an instant was at least over ten thousand jin.

No matter how stable the structure of the wooden wall was, and no matter how many iron spikes were arranged on it, one might be blocked, and two would be no problem, and even a dozen or so might be able to hold on for a while with Xia Chuan and the others shooting arrows.

But at this moment, what rushed in from outside the valley were hundreds of them.

Bang...

The magic sheep arrived at the wooden wall, and the violent impact force, combined with the fierce thrust of the six sharp horns forward, caused the wooden wall to explode and scatter instantly.

The hundred-meter-thick wooden wall arranged in an oblique cross began to collapse in a destructive manner.

Roar...

The wooden wall began to collapse, and the emotions of the many cold beasts seemed to rise as well, sending out several angry roars and growls, and the action of rushing toward the wooden house on the east side also became more violent.

"Shoot arrows, shoot faster, don't stop, shoot the magic sheep first, don't let them continue to destroy the wooden wall."

Xia Chuan changed his target and aimed at the few magic sheep in the front. The iron arrows broke through the air and went away. Although they hit the magic sheep, they almost all hit their backs, and a few were even blocked by the sharp horns on their heads.

These cold beasts were not fools.

Except for the first snow-maned beast that was shot and killed relatively smoothly, the subsequent cold beasts all rushed over with their heads lowered, not giving them any chance at all.

Xia Chuan and the others, who were originally standing on the third floor and looking down, could be considered to have been fiercely shown their intelligence by these cold beasts at this moment.

Standing high indeed allowed one to see far and shoot far.

But wanting to hit the fatal parts of these cold beasts was difficult.

The golden eyes on the back of the magic sheep must be opened to be considered a fatal part;

The fatal parts of the snow-maned beast were only the eyes and the abdomen.

These two positions could not be hit by shooting arrows from a high position.

The hundred-meter wooden wall only held on for less than a hundred breaths before it collapsed and fell. The snow-maned beasts and magic sheep in the front row were only twenty or thirty meters away from the west wall of the wooden house.

"Roar..."

A snow-maned beast that arrived first, not knowing if it was too complacent or signaling to other peers, suddenly roared toward the sky.

Pfft...

The moment it lifted its head, two speeding iron arrows brought out two white rays of light, piercing through its eyes directly from left and right.

"Screech..."

The snow-maned beast wailed in pain. With its eyes pierced, its ferocity rose even higher, and it lowered its head directly, rushing wildly toward the wooden house wall.

It was a pity that it only rushed forward for two or three meters before its four limbs slipped, and it fell to the ground directly.

"Woo... roar..."

The snow-maned beast could no longer see, but it seemed to have discovered something extremely terrifying, its four limbs constantly struggling on the ground, wanting to stand up, but no matter what, it couldn't stand up.

The sudden change of the snow-maned beast made the expressions of the others freeze instantly.

Being blinded in both eyes was indeed fatal.

But with the vitality of a snow-maned beast, even if it really died, it wouldn't be so fast.

And the reaction of the snow-maned beast was clearly not dying, just that its four limbs were suddenly weak.

The next scene made everyone even more confused.

The rest of the cold beasts that wanted to rush toward the wooden house wall, whether snow-maned beasts or magic sheep, all started to slip with their four limbs when they approached the wooden house wall, and then collapsed weakly to the ground.

In an instant, a dozen cold beasts were floundering at the entrance of the wooden house like this. It could be seen that they all wanted to stand up as much as possible, but no matter what, they couldn't do it.

"It's Teng Jiao poison, it's Teng Jiao poison. A layer of medium-level Teng Jiao skin was laid on the wooden wall. When they hit it just now, they all got contaminated!"

As soon as Shi Ping spoke, everyone reacted immediately, and a few people who participated in laying the Teng Jiao skin also reacted belatedly.

In an instant, everyone looked at Xia Chuan, their eyes full of admiration.

"Zhao Long!"

Xia Chuan didn't have the heart to pay attention to the others. Seeing that many cold beasts in front of the wooden house had been hit, a flash of joy passed through his eyes, and he immediately turned his head and called Zhao Long.

Zhao Long nodded, took out a pure white round bead from his bosom, loaded the bead onto an iron arrow, lit it with fire, and shot it directly at the pile of cold beasts far away from the wooden house.

Sss... The moment the white bead was lit, it had already emitted rolling white smoke. Following the arrow to the pile of cold beasts, it exploded instantly, producing a large amount of white fog, covering the entire valley in less than ten breaths.

Before the white fog dissipated, Xia Chuan had already taken a detoxification pill from his body and swallowed it. Without him reminding them, the others had already swallowed it in advance when they saw the white bead.

"Right, the poison sac of a low-level Teng Jiao should also have a considerable impact on these cold beasts. Lord Xia Chuan is really too smart!"

In the crowd, Hong Mu, who was shooting arrows, turned his head and looked at Xia Chuan in the front. The reverence in his eyes became even more intense.

Speaking of which, his age was two years older than Xia Chuan's.

Wooden wall, medium-level Teng Jiao skin, low-level Teng Jiao poison sac, including the early mining and forging, wooden house reinforcement, and a series of other preparatory work.

Not to mention that he couldn't do these things, he wouldn't even think of them.

This tsunami-like cold beast tide in front of him, who wouldn't feel despair when seeing it? But under Xia Chuan's step-by-step planning, a glimmer of hope inexplicably ignited in his heart.

Maybe, they could really block it?

Not only Hong Mu thought so, but the others were also the same.

=9+Book_Bar

From the time the cold beasts broke through the valley entrance until now, seven or eight minutes had passed.

Hundreds of cold beasts on all four sides of the wooden house hadn't even been able to rush to the side of the wooden house.

Maybe, they could really block it!

The ideal was plump, but reality was often very discouraging.

The hope that had just risen in everyone's hearts was immediately extinguished by the violent shaking coming from under their feet.

Bang...

"It's the Teng Jiao from behind that have arrived!"

Feeling that the vibration was coming from the east side of the wooden house, Xia Chuan reacted immediately. It was the Teng Jiao that had just come down from the intersection above the valley, and they had already started hitting the wooden house from the rear.

"Where is Luo Yuan?"

Xia Chuan turned his head and found that there were only five or six people left in the shadows inside the wooden house, and immediately asked.

"Lord, he has already taken men to the east corridor. Zhao Hu and Zhao Bao have also taken a few people and gone to the north and south corridors respectively."

No wonder the frost wolves on the north and south sides hadn't hit them for so long.

After Xia Chuan reacted, his expression became even uglier.

Of course, he wasn't blaming Luo Yuan. He called Luo Yuan, originally to let him go to the east side to guard that group of Teng Jiao. Zhao Hu and Zhao Bao taking men to guard the north and south sides in advance was also exactly what he wanted.

The problem was that the Earth-Digging Realm cultivators on their side had all been dispatched, and in order to take care of all four directions, they were almost being used in a compressed manner.

Originally, the plan was to divide into two groups, his group of thirty-four people, and Luo Yuan's group of thirty-three people, only guarding this west side, rotating to the corridor.

But there were really too many cold beasts.

Not only were there many, but these four ethnic groups seemed to have coordinated and cooperated.

Snow-maned beasts and magic sheep charged at the front of the west side; frost wolves were divided into two batches, bypassing the mountain wall to charge at the north and south sides; Teng Jiao fell directly from above the valley to the east side, charging at the rear of the wooden house.

With four sides cooperating, they simply didn't have enough manpower.

Luo Yuan, Zhao Hu, and Zhao Bao, the three of them, knew that the pressure on the west side was great, so they should have only taken eight or nine people each.

His side had the most people, a total of forty.

But even with forty people, they couldn't guard against these two or three hundred cold beasts in front of them.

Their side was still like this, the other three directions only had ten people, so the result could be imagined.

What was even more fatal was that Xia Chuan felt that his two eyes covered by the white gauze had already started to sting, and his body temperature was also dropping rapidly. It was estimated that he couldn't hold on for long.

"The limit is ten minutes, nine minutes have already passed, at most we can hold on for one more minute before we can't hold on anymore. If we stay outside, we won't be killed by cold beasts, but we will be frozen to death alive!"

Xia Chuan was extremely anxious in his heart. He turned his head and looked at Yuan Cheng and the others, finding that they had already started to freeze, their arrow-shooting postures were becoming more and more deformed, and their accuracy was already far inferior to before.

After all, they hadn't reached the cold-resistant level, and ten minutes was already the limit.

If it weren't for this cloth woven from white silk threads, I'm afraid these people wouldn't be able to hold on for ten minutes.

"Chuan, go notify the leader? We can't hold on!"

Yuan Cheng's voice was already a bit trembling when he spoke. He was the seventh person in Does Does Da Xia to break through to the Earth-Digging Realm. If even he was like this, one could imagine the others.

The others' arrow-shooting movements didn't stop, but their eyes were all cast toward Xia Chuan, clearly agreeing with Yuan Cheng's proposal.

Xia Chuan turned his head back. Directly opposite the corridor was Xia Hong's room door. He only took one look, then immediately turned his head to look outside the wooden house, gritting his teeth and opening his mouth:

"Big brother is still breaking through, we can't disturb him, we'll do it ourselves!"

The Teng Jiao poison fog dissipated. Although it caused a certain impact on the cold beasts, it wasn't fatal, and most of them were only in the front row.

As the cold beasts in the rear constantly filled in, the impact of the poison fog weakened at a speed visible to the naked eye, and even later, it had almost no impact on the cold beasts.

Bang... bang... bang...

Finally, the first snow-maned beast hit the main door in the front, followed by the second, third, fourth...

The sound of the cold beasts hitting wildly came one after another.

The Does Does Da Xia wooden house was two hundred meters long, the ground piles were more than two meters deep, and many iron materials were mixed in the middle for reinforcement.

The original intention of the design was indeed to prevent a large number of cold beasts from rushing and hitting.

But who could have thought that so many would come all at once.

Crack...

The impact sound became louder and louder, and the shaking of the wooden house became more and more violent.

Finally, after dozens of times, a crack sound came.

"Everyone get inside, go to the second floor, hurry!"

Xia Chuan felt that the cold in his body had reached its peak. If he stayed outside any longer, people would faint. He shouted loudly at everyone.

Everyone put away their bows and arrows and quickly retreated from the corridor to the inner room.

"Zhao Long, you take men to notify Luo Yuan, Zhao Hu, and Zhao Bao, all come to the second floor. If we continue to stay outside, we will die faster."

"Alright!"

Zhao Long led a few people to rush to the corridors in the other three directions, while Xia Chuan took the remaining people and went directly down to the second floor.

"Help..."

"There are cold beasts drilling in here too, hurry up and come help."

"There are cold beasts rushing in from behind."

"Everyone, stay in the main hall and don't run around, I'll go notify people."

Before they even went down to the second floor, panicked cries for help reached their ears. Xia Chuan didn't have any hesitation and rushed down directly.

Seeing the scene downstairs, his pupils suddenly condensed.

At the ends of the four corridors on the second floor, east, west, south, and north, there were already holes three or four meters wide. In the corridors on the north and south sides, there were even three or four frost wolves already rushing toward the main hall.

On the west side, the head of a snow-maned beast had just poked in from the big hole, its blood-red ferocious eyes staring fixedly at the iron-smelting furnace, full of excitement and madness;

On the east side, half of a Teng Jiao's body had already come in, its vertical pupils also staring fixedly at the iron-smelting furnace, full of desire.

Xia Chuan had seen this kind of look from cold beasts countless times when using small torches as bait. How could he not understand it at this moment?

No, compared to small torches, their look at the iron-smelting furnace was even more crazy.

"Luo Yuan, take men to kill the Teng Jiao; Zhao Long, you three take men to go south to kill those two frost wolves; Huang Yong, Hong Gang, you take men to drive that snow-maned beast out; Yuan Cheng, come with me to the north to kill the frost wolf, be fast, and block the corridor hole immediately after killing."

Although Xia Chuan's arrangement was logical, the despair in the bottom of his eyes was several times more intense than just now.

A few low-level cold beasts were not a problem, and with so many Earth-Digging Realm cultivators, it was not difficult to kill them.

The key was that these cold beasts could break through more than just the corridor walls.

The Does Does Da Xia wooden house, except for the four joints that used iron materials, most of the others used wood.

With the sharp teeth and claws of these cold beasts, breaking through wood was simply easy.

Crack...

As if to verify Xia Chuan's guess, he rushed onto the corridor. Before he even approached the frost wolf and approached the outer wall, several sounds of wood being broken from outside came from the compartments on the left and right sides.

Bang...

Following closely behind was the very clear sound of four limbs landing and stepping.

This was cold beasts breaking through the outer wall and getting up to the second floor!

"Oh no!"

There were more than two hundred compartments on the second floor. With the size of the cold beasts, it would take a certain amount of time to break through one by one and rush to the central hall.

"Ignore it for now, kill these few in the corridor first!"

Xia Chuan took a few people and rushed over quickly, starting to surround and kill the two frost wolves that rushed up first.

If the situation of the group of Earth-Digging Realm cultivators on the third and second floors could be considered very desperate, then on the first floor, the five hundred or so people led by Hearing Mu Dong were truly desperate to the extreme at this moment.

At the main entrance, over a hundred people were pulling an iron chain with all their might, almost everyone gritting their teeth until they bled.

The iron chain was hooked on the top outside the main door. The harder they pulled back, the tighter the main door would close.

Bang...

The main door only opened a crack. The moment the cold air rushed in, everyone saw the blood-red mouths of the cold beasts outside. Although fear arose in their hearts, they still gritted their teeth and pulled the rope tightly.

With every impact that occurred outside the door, these hundred people would be pulled forward a few steps by the iron chain, but they relied entirely on willpower to pull tightly, and closed the cast-iron main door again.

Not just the main door, in the main hall on the first floor, four thick iron chains extended from the corridor, and over four hundred people were also divided into four batches, pulling an iron chain tightly with all their might.

Those iron chains extended from the corridor to various key positions on the first floor, and a layer of iron lumps was hooked on them. With over four hundred people in the main hall pulling together, the iron lumps everywhere in the wooden house interacted, and the cold beasts outside were unable to completely break through the wall for a while.

"Don't be discouraged. As long as we hold onto this set of iron lumps, these low-level cold beasts can at most break through the wood. As long as we keep the house from collapsing and don't let the sunlight shine in, everyone will be fine."

"Lord Xia Chuan and the others are guarding against the enemy on the third floor. As long as we persist and don't let the wooden house collapse, we all have hope!"

In the center, Hearing Mu Dong was pulling the end of an iron chain, and blood had already seeped from his mouth. Taking the opportunity to speak, he tied the iron chain directly around his waist.

And as the impacts outside became more frequent, the force coming from the iron chain became stronger one after another. Although Hearing Mu Dong's expression was already dark red, he still gritted his teeth and held on, refusing to let go for a moment.

Even he, an Earth-Digging Realm cultivator, was like this. One could imagine the situation of the five hundred Woodcutting Realm cultivators on the first floor at this moment.

Everyone's hands had been worn through, and blood had seeped from their mouths, nasal cavities, and even eyes, but not one of them let go of the iron chain.

There were even a few people who felt that they were reaching their limit and learned from Hearing Mu Dong to tie the iron chain directly to themselves, but their fate was not as good as Hearing Mu Dong's.

Low-level cold beasts had an impact force of over ten thousand jin each. The iron chain could transfer the force borne by the wooden house, and what the wooden house was bearing at this moment was the force of hundreds of cold beasts hitting together.

Those who tied the iron chain to themselves were strangled to death before they could hold on for a few seconds.

But even so, the others were still following suit.

"My wife and children are upstairs. If I can't protect them, what's the point of me living? Don't let go, even if I die, I won't let go!"

"Having eaten so much cold beast meat in the camp, it's finally useful. Even if I die today, I won't let these cold beasts rush in."

"The hunting team and others are all killing cold beasts upstairs. We just need to put in some effort. If we can't even persist in this, are we still human!"

"Brothers, don't let go. Once the wooden house collapses, not only will we not survive, but our wives and children won't survive either. Don't let the cold beasts rush in."

"Ah!!! Brothers, put in some effort, hold on."

"Persist, persist for a while longer, Lord Xia Chuan and the others will come down to help soon."

"Wait for the leader to come out of seclusion, once the leader comes out of seclusion, we can all survive!"

Roars came one after another.

Although they were hoarse, whether it was the hundred or so people pulling the main door iron chain or the four hundred or so people pulling the four iron chains in the main hall, not a single person let go of the iron chain.

Even if they died, they would first tie the iron chain to themselves, either their legs, or their waists, or their hands, or even their necks...

Five or six hundred people had an unexpectedly consistent attitude. As long as they could drag the iron chain and support the wooden house from collapsing, they would not hesitate to sacrifice their lives.

"The wooden wall can't hold on, we will build a wall with flesh and blood!"

Hearing Mu Dong at the end of the iron chain, although his waist had been strangled until it bled, was also infected by everyone's emotions at this moment. He roared toward the sky, the veins on his hands bulging, pulling the iron chain tightly and retreating backward.

But he only retreated less than an inch before the wooden house shook violently again, and he was pulled back again.

"Leader, hasn't the leader come out of seclusion yet!"

Hearing Mu Dong's eyes were a bit dark, and a sense of despair slowly grew in his heart.

He had also seen the cold beasts outside just now.

He knew in his heart that with this number of cold beast tides, Xia Chuan and the others definitely couldn't block it.

At this moment, there was only Xia Hong.

Not just Hearing Mu Dong, the name Xia Hong had appeared in everyone else's hearts.

Only the leader Xia Hong, who could lead them to constantly create miracles, was the only hope.

"Leader, haven't you broken through successfully yet!"
