Chapter 239: Bai Lu’s Despair and Yang Lu’s Origin
Yanglu is a giant camp after all, with a population of over 30,000.

Six days ago, the Wu Shuang and Han Qiong families joined forces to capture Yang Yuan Peak. The number of people killed totaled nearly three thousand. This number is certainly not small, but compared with the total population, it is only one-tenth.

The camps annexed each other, ultimately for the sake of territory and population.

Wu Xiong and Han Jiuli naturally understood this principle.

So if you can avoid killing, it’s best not to kill.

Of course, not killing does not mean leaving it alone.

Firstly, there are many people in the camp who are loyal to their leader Peng Bo. If these people are allowed to secretly instigate a large-scale mutiny and riot among the prisoners, the price to be paid in the end will be high.

Secondly, Yang Lu still has more than 600 Digging Realm captives. In a short period of time, if he wants these people to help him block Li Xuantian’s troops, there is no other way except to threaten the lives of their families.

Therefore, after taking down Yang Yuan Peak, Wu Xiong and Han Jiuli detained all the remaining people in Yang Lu in batches and assigned special people to guard them.

The families of the Digging Realm, numbering more than 2,000 in total, were under the strictest guard;
Next are more than 3,000 lumberjacks and their families, more than 9,000 people;

The remaining 13,000 people are all ordinary people.

These three groups of people were detained separately in two mine caves inside Yangyuan Peak, and in the center of Yanglu base, a large wooden house usually used for gatherings.

In the big wooden house, more than 2,000 family members of 600 Digging Realm were imprisoned. At this moment, they all looked outside the house with sad faces, their hearts full of frustration and anxiety.

The battle that took place tonight first started at the gullies around the mound. Even though Li Xuantian and his men have now arrived, the battlefield is confined to the outer buildings of Yanglu’s base.

Although it did not affect the people inside, the deafening sound of battle had already reached the wooden house. Everyone knew that the family members outside were working for Wu Shuang and Han Qiong for the sake of these hostages. How could they not feel aggrieved?

The problem is, there is nothing you can do about it.

The situation is stronger than the people. Most of the more than 2,000 people are just ordinary people. On the second floor of the wooden house, hundreds of digging masters holding strong bows are staring at them hungrily.

It’s not that they haven’t resisted before. They have launched two riots before, but they were both bloodily suppressed in the end. The frustration and fear in everyone’s hearts are growing simultaneously. No wonder they are so desperate at this moment.

But today the situation is obviously a little different!
In the crowd, a small group of people with lively eyes made slight movements, obviously whispering something to each other.

“There’s a lot of noise. It seems like the battle has spread to the outskirts of the base. It should be the people from Longshan who are attacking us.”

“The guard on the second floor seems a little absent-minded!”

“It must be. They have been looking south intentionally or unintentionally. It should be that the people from Longshan are about to attack us.”

“My father is still working for them. If Longshan is destroyed, won’t all of us become criminals?”

“We can’t just sit there and wait for death. We need to rush out before Longshan attacks us. If we do something meritorious, maybe Longshan will forgive my brother’s sin.”

“Yes, the sound is getting closer. Try again.”

“Whisper to inform others and charge again.”

“Okay, I’ll go now…”

……………………

The families of these digging-ground soldiers, who knew more about the situation and had their own judgement on it, became aware of the sounds of fierce fighting outside, which were getting closer and closer to the base, and their minds began to become active.

Dozens of breaths passed, and after whispered exchanges, the eyes of most of the young and strong people in the crowd became gloomy, and from time to time they looked up at the guards on the second floor, obviously receiving the message of mutiny.

“Brothers, our families are fighting for their lives outside. We can’t just sit there and wait for death. Let’s break into the wooden house and help Longshan put down the rebellion. Maybe we can find a way to survive for our families and ourselves. Charge!”

A roar suddenly sounded from behind the crowd.

The crowd, which had already been communicating in low voices, suddenly gathered together.

“That’s right, brothers. Get out. There is still a way to survive!”

“Come on!”

“Help Longshan put down the rebellion!”

“Follow me to break through the wooden wall!”

Puff…Puff…

“Anyone who dares to move again will die!”

As soon as the first sound was heard, the guards on the second floor began to shoot at the mutineers with their bows, and quickly and sternly stopped them.

But this riot was obviously much more serious than the previous two.

At first glance, almost 80% of the people in the house stood up and rammed the walls of the wooden house frantically, including some women and children who didn’t know what was going on. The whole wooden house suddenly became shaky, and the guards who were shooting arrows on the second floor were a little unstable.

“You are so stubborn and want to come for a third time. Half of you should follow me downstairs, and the rest of you should continue shooting on the second floor. I want to see how tough they are!”

Seeing that the hostages below were starting to mutiniate again, Wu Ming, who was shooting arrows on the second floor, suddenly became furious. After shooting and killing a young man who was banging his head against the wall below, he gave stern orders to all his men on the second floor.

His uncle Wu Xiong entrusted him with the important task of guarding the hostages. Wu Ming naturally did not dare to slack off at all. Even though he knew that the battle outside was not going well, he was also very clear about the importance of these 2,000 hostages.

The more unfavorable the peripheral war was, the more he had to control these hostages. If something really went wrong, Yang Lu’s six hundred Digging Realm would immediately rebel, and the peripheral war would then be even worse.

So when faced with the third mutiny of the hostages, he did not hesitate at all. He took everyone with him, jumped down from the building, and began a bloody suppression.

“Divide into four teams and attack from four directions. Don’t let them continue to hit the wall!”

Wu Ming and more than ten people stayed on the south side, directly standing in front of the wall, swinging their swords to kill those who were still attacking the wall.

With his basic strength of thirty thousand jin, one can imagine how easy it was for him to kill a group of people who were at most at the lumberjack level. He swung his long sword continuously, killing almost one person with one strike. In a short while, he had killed more than a dozen people.

The dozen or so people who followed him were all at the Digging Realm. Although their killing speed was not as fast as his, they were good at killing people indiscriminately. They did not even look at who was coming, and they just swung their butcher knives at everyone, whether they were young or strong or women and children, so they killed a lot of people in a short while.

This was just one direction. In the other three directions, more than thirty people in total received his orders and began to slaughter crazily; the fifty people on the second floor, armed with strong bows, also began to shoot indiscriminately.

The eaves of the wooden house were immediately littered with corpses. In less than ten minutes, there were at least three or four hundred corpses piled on the ground.

“Don’t charge, don’t charge, they’re all dead.”

“Retreat quickly, retreat, I don’t want to die, I can’t rush out, I don’t want to die!”

“Don’t kill me, don’t kill me.”

………………

After all, they were just a group of ordinary people, and they were soon frightened by the killing of hundreds of Digging Realm masters led by Wu Ming. The young and strong were still able to hold on with their passion, but the old, weak, women and children could not do it.

They began to cry and scream, no longer daring to rush forward. The timid ones just squatted on the ground with their heads in their hands. Even if they were swept away, they stood still and dared not get even one step closer to the eaves.

But Wu Ming’s men were already blood-thirsty, and no one rushed towards the roof. Instead, they raised their knives and rushed towards the middle, killing as they went. The house was suddenly filled with deafening cries, and the scene was extremely bloody.

What no one noticed was that as more and more corpses appeared on the ground, the sky gradually turned pale, and suddenly a white dewdrop appeared on the surface of an old man’s body in the corner of the wooden house.

The dewdrops were like a plague. Once one appeared, it quickly spread over the corpse. In just a moment, the old man’s exposed skin was covered with dewdrops, as if they were condensed from water vapor as the temperature rose. It was extremely strange and beautiful in a different way.

It wasn’t over yet. The dewdrops spread faster and faster, and soon reached another corpse next to the old man, the third, the fourth…

Within a hundred breaths, the entire wooden house and the hundreds of corpses on the ground were all covered with dew.

laugh…………

The dew on the body of the old man seemed to be very hot. It began to turn red, then a puff of smoke came out, and finally the dew burst with a sizzle, and a small blue flame rose from inside.

boom…………

The blue flame that rose from the first dewdrop exploded and instantly ignited the dewdrops on the rest of the old man’s body. Then, with a bang, the blue flame instantly engulfed the old man’s body.

The subsequent chain reaction is coming!

The corpse on the ground inside the wooden house had dewdrops on its body. One person told two, two told three, three told ten…

Boom!

Blue flames shot up into the sky, and the fierce firelight instantly illuminated the entire house. If someone was outside, they would find that the wooden house had turned completely blue, emitting a faint light in the dark night, which was extremely strange.

“What kind of fire is this?”

“Look at them, what are those white dewdrops?”

“This fire can’t be put out, it can’t be put out, run, run!”

“I have them on my body too. There are white dewdrops on them. Run away…”

……………………

The moment the flames exploded, everyone in the wooden house, whether the hostages who were being killed or Wu Ming who was killing people, all woke up.

But when they woke up, it was too late!

The raging blue flames had already set the entire wooden house on fire.

“It’s growing on me too, help, help!”

“Run, run, there’s something wrong with this dew!”

“what…………”

What’s even more terrible is that the dewdrops spread at an astonishingly fast speed. Just now it was only on the corpses, but now it has even appeared on the living people.

Those who reacted quickly tried to wipe off the dewdrops on their bodies, but not only could they not wipe them off, but the more they wiped, the more they grew, and soon they covered their entire bodies.

In the gullies on the north and south sides of Yangyuan Peak, which were the two battlefields where the previous battles took place, many corpses lying on the ground showed the same symptoms as those in the wooden house.

Sizzle…………

Like the old man’s corpse, the dewdrops first heated up and turned red, then exploded. The first wisp of blue flame appeared, detonating the remaining dewdrops, and soon engulfed one corpse after another.

Outside Yanglu’s base, the roar of fighting stopped the moment the blue flames rose in the wooden house.

Li Xuantian and Wu Xiong and Han Jiuli’s men were all staring at the wooden house that was engulfed by blue flames. When they heard the screams from the people inside, their expressions suddenly became filled with fear and uncertainty.

“What is that?” “Why is it suddenly on fire?”

“Is that ordinary fire? Have you ever seen pure blue flames?”

“Could it be…?”

………………

Li Xuantian looked around Yangyuan Peak and found that blue flames were rising on the north and south sides. His eyes suddenly focused, and then he thought of something and quickly took out a jade pendant with silver border from his arms.

The silver edge of the jade pendant had already become extremely hot, and was gradually emitting a red glow.

“Run, there’s a trick, there’s a trick coming out!”

Li Xuantian’s face suddenly became panic-stricken. He first yelled loudly at the Longyou army in front of him, and then quickly withdrew and fled quickly to the north.

“Run, run, run!”

Wu Xiong and Han Jiuli were both startled by Li Xuantian’s roar, but they soon reacted and quickly took out the ghost-testing jade from their arms. Their expressions instantly became exactly the same as Li Xuantian’s.

The two groups of people who had just been fighting each other panicked when they saw their respective commanders fleeing. They quickly separated and fled quickly, one group heading north and the other heading south.

“Gui, this is trouble!”

At the edge of the gully on the south side, Yuwen Tao looked at the white dewdrops gradually emerging from the wound on his chest. He noticed that the dewdrops were getting warmer and his face became a little flustered. Then he thought of something and immediately took out a piece of fire-condensing oil from his arms, crushed it and smeared it on the wound.

laugh…………

The white dewdrops, which were rapidly heating up, stopped abruptly as soon as they came into contact with the fire-condensing oil. As the fire-condensing oil penetrated, the dewdrops began to turn into ordinary water droplets, and were finally wiped away by Yuwen Tao’s hand.

“幸好，幸好… … ”

Although the dew had not completely disappeared, Yuwen Tao was extremely grateful to see that the fire-condensing oil had taken effect. Fortunately, he had brought a few pieces with him when he came out of Daxia. Otherwise, based on the situation in the wooden house just now, he would have died without a doubt.

Yuwen Tao was much more sensitive to monsters than other people. When he saw the situation in the wooden house, he noticed the movement of the monster-detecting jade on his body long before Li Xuantian could react. He confirmed that there was a monster on Yangyuan Peak. While everyone was panicking, he was the first to escape to the south.

“But how to run next?”

Yuwen Tao looked up at the ravine more than 20 meters wide in front of him, where raging blue flames had already risen, and his face suddenly showed difficulty.

The ravines around Yangyuan Peak were filled with blue flames dozens of meters high, surrounding them all.

Of course he could jump over if he gathered enough strength, but the problem was that the dew on his body had not yet completely disappeared. Judging from the condition of the corpses by the ravine, the dew would explode immediately once it touched the flames. No matter how fast he jumped, he could not guarantee that he would not be touched by the flames.

“Let’s take a gamble and try using fire-condensing oil to see if we can get rid of all the dewdrops!”

He started doing it as soon as he thought of it. Yuwen Tao immediately took out the three pieces of fire-condensing oil in his arms and began to apply them to the places on his body where dewdrops appeared.

“what…………”

“Can’t escape?”

“How to do!”

“It’s over, it’s over, how come a ghost suddenly appeared?”

………………

While Yuwen Tao was applying the fire-condensing oil, Wu Xiong, Han Jiuli, Wu Lin and a number of stronger Digging Realm cultivators all rushed to the ravine.

They simply ignored Yuwen Tao’s strange actions and were all dumbfounded when they saw the raging blue flames dozens of meters high in the ravine.

“What are you waiting for? Go over there!”

On the south side, there had been a fierce battle before, and there were still two wooden boards on the ditch that had not been burned by the flames. A few impatient people stepped directly on the boards and tried to rush over quickly.

“what…………”

Unfortunately, those people had not rushed even a meter away after stepping onto the wooden planks before they were touched by the blue flames. The white dew on their bodies immediately burst open and they were instantly swallowed by the blue flames, turning into corpses and falling into the deep ditch along with the broken wooden bridge.

Seeing the last two wooden boards break, the remaining Diggers’ faces were instantly filled with despair;
Not only the Digging Realm, but also Wu Xiong, Han Jiuli, and Wu Lin, the three Cold Resistance Realm, saw the white dewdrops on their bodies continue to increase, with fear and panic in their pupils.

“Hehe, hehe, you’ve already woken me up, why are you running away again?”

An ethereal and pleasant female voice suddenly rang in everyone’s ears.

Not only Wu Xiong on the south side, but also Li Xuantian who was blocked by a ravine on the north side, and more than 20,000 people in the Yanglu garrison, almost everyone heard it.

Everyone looked down at the white dewdrops on their bodies, their expressions filled with extreme panic, because they all clearly sensed that this extremely ethereal and charming female voice came from the white dewdrops on their bodies.

“In this icy and snowy world, my Bai Lu is just the right amount to warm you up!”

The originally ethereal and pleasant female voice suddenly became sharp and hoarse, and the strong murderous intent in the tone reached everyone’s heart in an instant.

Everyone looked at the white dewdrops on their bodies, which began to grow wildly and spread to other parts of the body, and their expressions were instantly filled with horror.

“It’s over!”

Yuwen Tao, who was applying fire-condensing oil, looked at the dewdrops on his body. New dewdrops appeared before they disappeared completely, and despair instantly covered his face.

Whoosh……

Suddenly, an iron arrow came rushing in from outside the ravine.

The strong wind brought by the iron arrow was able to disperse the raging fire above the ravine.

This scene instantly alleviated the despair on Yuwen Tao’s face.

“Yuwen Tao, catch it!”

A package was thrown over from the other side of the ravine. When Yuwen Tao heard Yuan Cheng’s familiar voice, he immediately jumped up to catch the package. When he opened the package, his face was instantly filled with joy.

………………

Going back to the first half of the night, Peng Bo brought his three grandsons and followed Yuan Cheng and his four companions back to the Hive base.

“Grandpa Peng, from now on, we are no longer Yanglu people?”

“Of course not. Grandpa Peng, I, you, Qin Feng, and Xiaozu must never forget our identity as Yanglu people.”

Beehive Station, in a guest room in the main building.

Peng Bo was holding his grandson Peng Zu. When he heard Liu Ming’s question, he immediately reminded him and Qin Feng in a serious tone not to forget their identity as Yanglu people.

Although he said so, there was a hint of bitterness in his eyes.

At this point, the destruction of Yang Camp was an established fact. At his age, how could he not see it?

But as a leader, who has worked hard for the camp for so many years, it is not easy to get him to get rid of the label of Yanglu.

Not only himself, but also Liu Ming, Qin Gu, and Peng Zu in his arms, are considered the core of the core of Yanglu. He is even more unwilling to let these three people forget their identity as Yanglu people.

Peng Bo’s mind moved a little, and he said, “Xiao Ming, do you know why our camp is called Yanglu?”

Liu Ming nodded immediately and said, “I know, my grandfather told me…”

Liu Ming’s grandfather Liu He is Peng Bo’s sworn brother and one of the three cold-resistant level masters of Yanglu, so naturally he knows a lot.

“I remember my grandfather said that it was rumored that one morning more than ninety years ago, a huge dewdrop suddenly fell from the sky. The circle of gullies around our base was formed by the dewdrop at that time. The dewdrop was extremely hot and quickly solidified when it hit the ground, forming a raised mound. That’s how our base, Yangyuan Peak, was formed!”

Qin Feng, who was standing by, had obviously heard this story from his grandfather before, and quickly followed up, “I’ve heard it from my grandfather too. He also said that since we chose to camp on the mound, we have never been invaded by cold beasts. The dewdrops must be some kind of treasure, but it’s a pity that our camp is not strong enough to use them.”

Peng Bo nodded slightly when he heard this. The history of Yang Camping Site is not very long. It is hard to say whether the rumor from more than 90 years ago is true or false. However, this story is considered the origin of Yang Camping Site. Naturally, he hopes that his three grandsons will not forget it.

“That’s right, Grandpa told you…”

“Captain Peng, my Lord Si Cheng is here.”

Yuan Cheng suddenly walked in from outside, followed by a young man in black. Seeing Yuan Cheng’s respectful attitude towards the young man, Peng Bo immediately became serious and quickly stood up.

With the power of six manes, the strength of this Great Xia Si Cheng is not that strong.

But he is very young, probably about the same age as Yuan Cheng.

It seemed like he had just rushed back from somewhere, and looked very hurried!
“Xia Chuan, Chief Peng, I am very interested in the story you just told me. If you don’t mind, how about telling me more about it?”

Xia Chuan, who had just rushed back from Jinggu, was still panting, but he quickly asked Peng Bo about the Yanglu base.

The legend of Dewdrop was not so bad, mainly because of what Qin Feng said just now, that since choosing Yangyuan Peak as the base, the Yangyuan camp had never been invaded by cold beasts, which aroused his strong interest.

There is still a hint of something inexplicably wrong!

He couldn’t think of anything else that could scare the cold beast except for something weird, so he couldn’t help but ask a few more questions.

After all, Peng Bo was living under someone else’s roof, and Yuan Cheng had done him a favor. Moreover, when he first entered the Beehive Station, he had also gained some understanding of Da Xia’s strength. Naturally, he did not dare to put on airs in front of Xia Chuan, and quickly told him everything about the Yang Lu Station.

The more Xia Chuan listened, the more he felt something was wrong. Finally, he frowned and whispered something to Yuan Cheng beside him. Upon hearing what he said, Yuan Cheng immediately nodded and turned to walk out.

After Yuan Cheng left, Xia Chuan turned around to look at Peng Bo, glanced at the two children behind him, and a smile slowly appeared on his face.

“Captain Peng, I also know about the incident at Yang Camp. Wu Yinghan and Jiuli are so cruel and ruthless. I think Captain Peng must hate those two families to the core, right?”

Hearing the two names, Peng Bo gritted his teeth and said, “Of course!”

“Now, Xia can give Chief Peng a chance to take revenge. I wonder if Chief Peng is interested?”

Peng Bo raised his expression, looked at Xia Chuan and asked, “What opportunity?”

As Xia Chuan slowly spoke out the plan, Peng Bo’s face was shocked at first, then hesitant. Finally, Xia Chuan said something that made him interested, and then he nodded heavily.

“Okay, if it’s really as you said, Daxia can provide so many people, Peng Bo will accompany you on this trip.”

“Okay, Chief Peng, you’re quick to speak. I’ll let you know later!”
