Endless Winter: My Camp Upgrades Infinitely

As soon as Xia Hong and the others withdrew, the vicinity of the mountain wall fell silent.

After about a hundred breaths, He Meng led fourteen people out of the arrow bamboo forest again, gazing from afar at the outline of Xia Hong's group. He Meng's expression was gloomy, and a cold glint flashed in his eyes.

"Hmph! Sending sentries to guard the rear, these people are quite cautious!"

"There are too many people, and the leaders are quite strong. We can't force them to stay."

"That leader named Xia Hong has a long saber stained with the Rat King's blood. He's very strong, probably not quite at the Frost Resistance level, but close."

"Over a hundred Lumbering Realm cultivators, and they're equipped with over a hundred bows. This is just for an outing, not counting those staying behind. This Da Xia must be a large camp."

"Most likely there are Frost Resistance level experts. It should be a large camp for sure!"

"Didn't Lu He say that there's only a medium-sized camp called Rogge and five or six small camps near Redwood Ridge? How did a Da Xia camp suddenly appear?"

Hearing the others' discussion, He Meng lowered his gaze. Recalling how Xia Hong had told him and his group to scram with a hundred people, the coldness in his eyes intensified.

His offer to take all the prey was just a test, of course.

If Xia Hong agreed or even hinted at it, he could roughly gauge the quality and strength of the Da Xia camp.

But Xia Hong's outright refusal and immediate hostility made him somewhat wary.

Therefore, even knowing that the Da Xia group, who had just successfully driven away hundreds of gnawing rats, couldn't have many iron arrows left,

and that Xia Hong and the others weren't at their peak condition, he still endured and led his group to back down.

"We need to find out what's going on with this Da Xia. We'll ask Lao Lu and the others when we get back. If it's a large camp, with at least two thousand people, reporting it to the lord will be a great achievement. Let's go!"

Hearing this, the others nodded, their expressions somewhat excited. Clearly, the "great achievement" He Meng mentioned was extremely appealing to them.

… … … … … …

He Meng and the others disappeared back into the arrow bamboo forest, while on the other side, Xia Hong led the Da Xia group back to the valley stronghold with trepidation.

"Seal the passage, everyone inside. All outdoor activities will be suspended for the next three days. We'll make arrangements after three days!"

Xia Hong returned to the hall on the second floor of the wooden house and immediately issued the order.

"Yes, leader!"

Xia Chuan and the others naturally understood that he was worried about the Mirror Immortal Camp people coming to scout Da Xia's true strength in the next few days, and nodded in response.

"Send all eighty-three gnawing rats to the camp supply depot and have Tong Xinglong and the others process them quickly; Luo Yuan, and anyone else injured, quickly arrange for treatment!"

As soon as Xia Hong finished speaking, several women rushed up, directly pressed him into the chair behind him, and began to clean and bandage his foot.

Luo Yuan had entered the house first, and someone had carried him upstairs as soon as he came in, so not many people saw the bloody hole in his shoulder.

At this moment, Xia Hong's foot was directly exposed to everyone.

Hiss… … … …

Everyone couldn't help but gasp when they saw the bloody hole.

The hole, the size of an infant's fist, pierced through the entire sole of his foot. Even though the Golden Sore Powder was already working, some of the flesh near the opening hadn't healed, and you could see straight through it.

Having such a big hole in the sole of your foot, how painful must that be!

Those who stayed in the camp tonight and didn't go out felt a chill down their spines when they saw such a terrifying wound, and their hearts were filled with respect for Xia Hong;

The hundred or so people who went out, thinking that Xia Hong had such a serious injury on his foot, had just faced off against the people from the Mirror Immortal Camp, and even walked back with them as if nothing had happened, looked at Xia Hong with even more respect in their eyes.

"Leader, please take good care of your injury!"

Xia Chuan approached and looked at the wound on the sole of Xia Hong's foot, his face full of worry.

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhao Long and the others also spoke up.

"That's right, leader, you've suffered such a serious injury, please rest quickly."

"If the people from the Mirror Immortal Camp dare to come, I'll fight them to the death!"

"Yes, leader, you rest first, we'll take care of the rest."

… … … …

Seeing the worry in everyone's eyes, Xia Hong felt a little warmth in his heart. Seeing that everyone in the camp had gathered together, and remembering that he hadn't told them about the results of tonight's battle, he pondered for a moment and said:

"By the way, did you all see the gnawing rats we brought back just now?"

Those who went out tonight, of course, knew what Xia Hong was going to say next, and their faces showed pride;

Most of those who didn't go out also guessed it, and a touch of anticipation appeared on their faces.

"The gnawing rat swarm on the north slope has been driven away, we're safe!"

… … … …

Everyone except the hundred or so who went out tonight showed joy on their faces when they heard Xia Hong's words. After a moment of silence, a strong cheer erupted.

"I knew it, with the leader taking action, this group of gnawing rats would definitely suffer!"

"Hahahaha, those beasts killed so many of us some time ago, they're finally getting their retribution today."

"The valley is safe, the valley is safe, the leader is mighty!"

"The leader is mighty!"

… … … … … …

The Da Xia people, who had been troubled by the gnawing rat swarm for more than a month, finally felt relieved at this moment; Chen Ying and his son, who had later joined Da Xia, and the two hundred or so people from the Chenye Camp, were even more ecstatic.

Especially some people who had relatives killed by the gnawing rats, were so excited that tears flowed down their faces, looking at Xia Hong with gratitude and respect.

The greatest need of humans in the Ice Abyss World is a sense of security.

This sense of security is not psychological, but practical.

With the gnawing rat swarm entrenched less than two kilometers away, everyone had been in a state of anxiety during this period.

If it weren't for this, the enthusiasm that everyone showed in practicing archery for the previous twenty days wouldn't have been so high.

It can be said that for more than a month, everyone in the Da Xia camp had a sword hanging over their heads.

A sword that could fall at any time.

And at this moment, with Xia Hong's announcement, the sword finally disappeared.

The excitement in everyone's hearts at this moment can be imagined.

"Wah… … … …"

The cheers of the crowd were suddenly interrupted by a loud infant's cry.

Everyone immediately quieted down, and even Xia Hong couldn't help but turn his head to look at the room where the baby's cry came from.

The crying was very clear, coming from the room closest to the hall.

"A baby, who had a baby?"

"Mine, mine, it's mine!"

A familiar voice suddenly rang out in the crowd, and then a figure quickly squeezed out from the middle and rushed towards the room.

The newest novels are at 69shuba.

"Yue Feng?"

Seeing that person, Xia Hong, Xia Chuan, Yuan Cheng, and many people from the Da Xia camp were stunned for a moment.

But before Yue Feng could enter, the door was opened from the inside.

Three women walked out of the room, the one in the middle being supported, about seventeen or eighteen years old, wearing a beast skin cloak, holding a baby in her arms, walking with a somewhat weak posture, obviously the mother.

Although her face was very pale, she looked at the baby in her arms with a smile on her lips and joy in her pupils.

"Feng-ge, it's a son, I gave you a son."

"Hahahaha, that's great, Wan, you've worked hard!"

… … … … … …

Watching Yue Feng happily holding his son, Xia Hong's expression was a little strange. Turning his head to look at Xia Chuan, Yuan Cheng, and Lin Kai and the others, who didn't have any surprise on their faces, he immediately understood that he was the only one who didn't know that Yue Feng had a wife.

"Big brother, you don't know, Yue Feng and Lin Wan got together a long time ago near the earth slope. I haven't seen Lin Wan for several months. I was wondering why she was hiding in the room every day, it turned out she was secretly hiding to have a baby… …"

Hearing Xia Chuan's last teasing remark, Xia Hong couldn't help but smile.

Counting it, Yue Feng and Lin Wan are among the oldest members of the Da Xia camp.

Early on, after Xia Ding's death, the first Lumbering Realm cultivators he cultivated were Xia Chuan and Yuan Cheng, and the second batch was Yue Feng, Lin Kai, Qiu Peng, Xu Ning, and Lu Yang.

Yue Feng was the oldest of the five, so it's not surprising that he has a child.

"By the way, I remember, Lin Wan is Lin Kai's older sister, right?"

Xia Chuan nodded and replied, "Yes, Lin Kai took people to seal the passage at the valley entrance. He'll definitely be very happy when he comes back later."

Becoming an uncle, of course, is something to be happy about.

The Ice Abyss is not a normal world. Although the men and women of the camp adhere to the concept of one husband and one wife through generations, they don't pay much attention to marriage etiquette. Most of them get together if they like each other. Under the circumstances that he didn't take the initiative to understand, it's normal for Xia Hong not to know.

Xia Hong's heart stirred slightly, and he turned his head to look at Yuan Cheng and the others, then asked Xia Chuan: "Who else among them has found a wife?"

"Lin Kai, Qiu Peng, Xu Ning, and Lu Yang have all found one. Yuan Cheng has been getting hot and heavy with Shi Ping's sister recently, it should be soon, hahahaha… …"

Men and women's affairs always make people gossip. Xia Chuan pointed his mouth at Yuan Cheng as he spoke, obviously teasing him.

Seeing Yuan Cheng scratching his head embarrassedly, showing a shy look, Xia Hong couldn't help but smile and give him a thumbs up.

"You kid, you have good taste, keep it up!"

Shi Ping's younger sister is called Shi Lu. He had seen her when he rescued the Da Shi Camp, and she was indeed very beautiful.

Seeing that Xia Chuan was still smiling foolishly, he deliberately lowered his face and scolded, "You only know how to be happy, you should be looking for a wife too!"

Hearing Xia Hong's reprimand, Xia Chuan subconsciously shrank his neck, but after thinking about something, he immediately turned to look at Xia Hong, a teasing look in his eyes.

Not just him, but also Yuan Cheng, Lin Kai, and many others nearby.

Hearing Xia Hong say that, their expressions immediately turned a bit strange.

The older brother isn't even married yet, but he's already lecturing his younger brother.

Cough cough cough…

Xia Hong also realized there was something wrong with what he said, and quickly coughed a few times, wanting to change the subject and gloss it over.

But coincidentally, Yue Feng came over carrying his child, relieving him of the awkward situation.

"Chieftain, the camp had a great victory today, and my son's arrival is also timely. Yue Feng presumptuously asks the chieftain to give the child a name!"

Xia Hong helped up Yue Feng, who was about to bow, and took the child in his arms, a look of excitement on his face.

The people of the Ice Abyss World have very strong physiques. Like Lin Wan, she could walk out as if nothing had happened immediately after giving birth. But strong adult physiques don't mean that babies are also strong.

In fact, because babies are inherently weak, coupled with the harsh environment, the smaller and weaker the camp, the lower the birth rate.

Strictly speaking, the child in his arms was the first child born in the camp after he came to the Ice Abyss World.

Moreover, he was born tonight, on the day of this great victory of driving away the Gnawing Rat horde.

And it just so happened to be after he returned and led everyone in deliberations on the second floor.

It was indeed very meaningful!

"Without the threat of the Gnawing Rat horde, from today onwards, the Great Xia can rest easy in the Redwood Ridge area for the short term. This is a new beginning, and the arrival of a newborn at this time is also fitting."

"Let's call him Yuan."

"Yue Yuan!"
