Endless Winter: My Camp Upgrades Infinitely

#192 - Exhaust line preparation

"What happened at the Mirror Immortal Camp?"

Just a suspicion before, but hearing this question, Yue Feng could be certain that the middle-aged man before him was definitely a high-ranking member of the Hive Camp.

Lu Sheng must have taken his words back last night.

This person came to confirm in person, obviously not believing that Mirror Immortal had merged into Great Xia.

Of course, the most important purpose must still be to seize the iron mine.

Yue Feng looked at the sky outside the cave, his eyes flashing slightly, pretending to be thinking, and remained silent for more than ten breaths without speaking.

"Don't think about delaying, it's useless no matter who comes. This iron mine already belongs to our Hive Camp. I'll give you five breaths to answer!"

His scheme exposed, Yue Feng had no choice but to quickly answer:

"The Mirror Immortal is haunted by strange creatures. Seven or eight tenths of the people in the entire camp have died, and the rest have all merged into our Great Xia Camp."

As expected!

The middle-aged man's eyes narrowed. Recalling that he had just seen that the houses in the Mirror Immortal camp were not too damaged, and he didn't see a single corpse, his heart immediately turned cold.

A normal camp battle wouldn't be like this. He had guessed that it was caused by strange creatures, and only after hearing Yue Feng's answer did he truly confirm it.

"He Yuanhun and Yu Wenhuan, were they both killed by strange creatures?"

"He Yuanhun colluded with strange creatures. Everyone was killed by them. Yu Wenhuan was also among them. Our leader, Xia Hong, defeated He Yuanhun and drove him away, which is how he rescued the remaining people."

Yue Feng's answer made the middle-aged man's expression stiffen.

He looked directly into Yue Feng's eyes, first revealing a hint of suspicion, then the suspicion gradually turned into teasing, and finally he couldn't help but chuckle:

"You're still thinking about delaying even now. You can be considered a smart person, but you think I'll believe you if you try to fool me with words like these…"

Yue Feng's heart sank. Before he could figure out the reason for the other party's suspicion, the middle-aged man's next words suddenly changed, becoming abruptly low and deep.

"Who is He Yuanhun? You think I'm stupid enough to believe that a nobody Great Xia camp leader like you defeated him and even drove him away?"

Before his words had completely fallen, the middle-aged man's burly figure suddenly moved.

From a distance of more than ten meters, Yue Feng only felt a gust of wind rushing towards him. He didn't even see clearly before the middle-aged man's fist was already reflected in his pupils.

The shadow of death floated to his mind. Yue Feng didn't have time to react at all, and only two words popped into his mind.

"It's over!"

Bang…

A violent shockwave suddenly exploded. Yue Feng's body instantly flew backwards more than ten meters. The fourteen people not far from him were also scattered by the shock, some even unable to stand and falling directly to the ground.

However, after getting up, Yue Feng looked at the black-clothed figure blocking in front of him, his face full of joy and surprise; on the other side, the fourteen people also looked excited when they saw the situation in the field.

"Leader!"

"The leader is here."

"Greetings, Leader!"

Xia Hong grabbed the white-clothed middle-aged man's right fist with one hand, his eyes downcast, a hint of faint killing intent flashing in his eyes.

And the middle-aged man, who had just been incomparably domineering, now had a face full of solemnity. Especially after discovering that he couldn't even pull back his fist and feeling the terrifying power in Xia Hong's hand, his pupils even contained a hint of horror.

"Could you be the leader of Great Xia…"

Bang…

Before the middle-aged man could even finish a sentence, Xia Hong suddenly let go of his hand and kicked him directly in the abdomen.

The terrifying force caused the middle-aged man's abdomen to cave in by more than ten centimeters, and his body also shot backwards like a cannonball for dozens of meters, flying out of the mine and directly smashing into the snow, dragging for more than ten meters in the snow before stopping.

"Pfft…"

The middle-aged man stood up from the snow, spitting out a mouthful of reverse blood, quickly drawing a soft sword from his waist, staring fixedly at Xia Hong in front of him, his expression full of horror.

"I'm in a good mood today. Seeing that you're quite old, I'll teach you how to talk. You're not qualified to ask me questions. Next, I'll ask you something, and you'll honestly answer. Understand?"

These were the words he had just said to Yue Feng and the others. Now that Xia Hong returned them unchanged, the middle-aged man knew that the other party was helping Yue Feng and the others vent their anger.

The middle-aged man's face was flushed with anger. Although his chest was full of anger, recalling that kick just now, he stubbornly closed his mouth and didn't dare to say a word.

The expressions of Yue Feng and the others behind him suddenly became excited.

This was the leader. This middle-aged man was also at the Frost Resistance level, but in front of Xia Hong, he didn't even have the courage to refute, just like when he had faced him just now.

The Mountain River Squad was created relatively late. Except for Yue Feng and a few others, most of them were Digging Realm cultivators who came from Five Apes Mountain later. These people hadn't yet directly experienced Xia Hong's power.

At this moment, for the first time, they experienced Xia Hong's strength, and the same fanatical emotions as Yue Feng and the others couldn't help but grow in these people's eyes.

Xia Hong looked at the middle-aged man, his expression calm as he began to inquire.

"Name and position."

"Chen Yingba, head of the Hive Camp Hunting Group."

"Do you know He Yuanhun?"

"We've dealt with each other twice. We cooperated twice before in hunting high-level Cold Beasts."

Hearing about high-level Cold Beasts, Xia Hong raised an eyebrow, but he didn't investigate further and continued to ask: "How many people are there in the Hive Camp? What's your leader's name?"

This question made Chen Yingba's expression stiffen.

But when he looked up and saw Xia Hong's gradually darkening expression, his heart tightened, and he gritted his teeth and said: "The total population of our Hive Camp exceeds 60,000. The Great Leader is Chen Yingyuan, and the Second Leader is Wu Tianxing. Their strength is above mine. Your strength is indeed very strong, but…"

Before Chen Yingba could finish speaking, he saw Xia Hong flick his right hand at him. His nerves immediately tensed up, and he subconsciously dodged to the side.

Whoosh…

But before his body could move, a sharp sound of air being torn apart had already entered his mind.

A sharp pain came from his ear. He quickly reached out and touched it, realizing that the cartilage of his ear had been pierced. A surge of anger immediately welled up in the depths of his pupils, but worried about being seen by Xia Hong, he quickly lowered his head.

"Did I let you be talkative? Put away your little cleverness!"

Xia Hong looked at the bowed Chen Yingba, a slight flicker of killing intent flashing in his eyes.

A Frost Resistance level expert was likely the number three figure in the Hive Camp. Chen Yingba must have been used to being arrogant and domineering. Being humiliated so severely by him, one could imagine how resentful he was in his heart.

"You should be glad that I only hit his earlobe just now. If it had been anywhere else, you would have left your life here today!"

Xia Hong stared at him for a long time, and finally put away the killing intent in his eyes, and continued after speaking calmly: "The territory of the Mirror Immortal now belongs entirely to my Great Xia. You don't have to think about this iron mine either. From today onwards, ten miles north of Mirror Valley is all territory of my Great Xia. Next time, if I find your people trespassing again…"

Speaking of this, Xia Hong paused, saw a boulder beside his leg, slightly accumulated strength, and kicked it towards Chen Yingba.

The stone was as big as half a person, probably dug out of the mine, weighing at least two or three thousand catties. Kicked by Xia Hong, it seemed as light as nothing, rising into the air and hitting Chen Yingba's face in an instant.

Whoosh…

A violent sound of air flow came. Chen Yingba's pupils narrowed. Thinking of the power Xia Hong had just displayed, he quickly dodged his head, held his breath, accumulated strength, and used his shoulder to take it.

However, the moment the boulder collided with his shoulder.

Bang…

With a loud noise, Chen Yingba's body flew backwards for dozens of meters like a kite with a broken string.

He quickly got up from the ground, looked at his bloody shoulder, which had collapsed inward a large piece, swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and didn't recover for a long time.

He could say that the kick in the cave just now was because he was careless and unprepared.

But he took the boulder kicked by Xia Hong after holding his breath and accumulating strength.

However, the outcome was still the same.

What did this mean?

It meant that his strength was completely not at the same level as the Great Xia Camp leader in front of him. How was this possible!

Could this Xia Hong be a powerhouse above the Frost Resistance level.

Definitely, otherwise how could he defeat He Yuanhun.

"Scram!"

At this moment, Chen Yingba no longer had any anger in his heart. Hearing Xia Hong say these two words, he only felt relieved and even a hint of joy. He covered his shoulder and ran north without looking back.

"Leader, you're too amazing!"

"That Chen Yingba was so arrogant just now, but he actually ran away with his tail between his legs, hahahaha."

"He was so ruthless to us, but he didn't even dare to fart in front of the leader."

"He should be taught a lesson."

As soon as Chen Yingba left, the mood of everyone in the cave immediately relaxed.

Although Yue Feng's expression was also very excited, his reaction was relatively calm. Seeing that the sky was getting dark, he directly led everyone out of the cave.

"Leader, fortunately you arrived in time, otherwise these two iron mines would probably have fallen into the hands of the Hive Camp."

Xia Hong turned to look at Yue Feng and the others, a look of appreciation appearing on his face: "It's right to guard the iron mine, but you have to act according to your ability. Chen Yingba's strength is not at the same level as yours. Next time you encounter such a situation, you should compromise. Saving your life is the most important thing. If the iron mine is gone, we can still snatch it back. You only have one life, and once it's gone, it's gone."

Everyone's faces suddenly showed a touch of emotion upon hearing this.

In addition to being moved, Yue Feng remembered the humiliation just now, and slightly clenched the fist under his sleeve. His desire for strength was even greater. If Xia Hong hadn't arrived in time, his little life would definitely not have been saved.

"Leader, have you been in the Arrow Bamboo Forest this whole time?"

Xia Hong shook his head and said, "I have indeed been here these past few days, but I usually only come during the day. I just finished some work, and as soon as I returned to the camp, I heard Li Yuankun say there was something happening here. Since they can't come during the day, I simply rushed over here alone."

Upon hearing this, Yue Feng and the others all showed expressions of relief.

It was fortunate that Xia Hong had already reached the Cold Resistance level, and his routine was different from theirs. If it were like before, they would have all been dead tonight.

"Chief, Chen Yingba has been taught such a harsh lesson by you. He shouldn't dare to cross the line into Mirror Valley again in the future. We can safely develop this area of Mirror Valley."

"Dare to come again? Doesn't he want his life?"

"He couldn't even catch the stone that the chief kicked away. What face does he have to come back?"

"Haha, he definitely won't dare to come again."

… … … …

Hearing the discussions of the Shanhe Squad, Xia Hong's brow furrowed.

Not only Xia Hong, but Yue Feng's expression also slightly paused.

Chen Yingba was indeed taught a harsh lesson just now. From his reaction, it could be seen that he was probably scared and wouldn't come again.

However, he is just the hunting squad leader of the Beehive Camp. If nothing unexpected happens, he is just the number three person. Above him, there are also the big chief Chen Yingyuan and the second chief Wu Tianxing.

Chen Yingyuan and Chen Yingba should still be brothers.

It's uncertain whether the Beehive Camp will have any further reactions.

The newest novels are available at 69shuba!

"The chief didn't kill him just now, and let him go. As long as the two chiefs of the Beehive Camp aren't stupid, they should be able to understand the meaning."

Seeing that Yue Feng had seen through his intentions, Xia Hong was not surprised and nodded, saying, "Let's see how the situation develops. I will be stationed here for this period of time. When night falls, Xia Chuan will bring people over soon. I left a prey at the entrance of the Arrow Bamboo Forest. Take people to carry it back and have it taken back to the camp later."

Yue Feng nodded and selected three people to walk towards the Arrow Bamboo Forest together.

"You left a prey, Captain? Does the chief also go out to hunt cold beasts?"

The three people who went with Yue Feng looked curious. They haven't been in Da Xia for long, and they haven't heard that Xia Hong would personally hunt.

"Of course, our camp can have the days it has now because the chief killed one cold beast after another in the early days. When it comes to hunting ability, all of our hunting squads combined are probably not as good as him."

Hearing this, the three people looked at each other, and a hint of doubt flashed in their eyes.

Of course, they don't doubt Xia Hong's strength, especially after experiencing that scene just now. But the problem is that hunting ability and personal strength are two different things.

Cold beasts are not simple. Not only are their strengths far beyond humans of the same level, but they all have unique skills, and their vitality is extremely tenacious.

Those in the Digging Earth Realm are qualified to hunt, but they must form teams, which is no exception in any camp. This is also considered human affirmation of the strength of cold beasts.

Strength is certainly a very important measure, but teamwork, hunting experience, and hunting tools are equally important.

Even if Xia Hong is strong alone, his hunting ability is not necessarily better than all of their hunting squads combined.

Of course, although they have doubts, it is impossible for the three to directly say it out loud.

Noticing the expressions of the three people, Yue Feng didn't bother to explain it deliberately. After all, they have only been in the camp for a month. After a long time, they will naturally understand.

Recalling the days when he went out hunting with Xia Hong, Yue Feng felt a little lost while reminiscing.

Since Xia Hong started breaking through the Cold Resistance level, he hasn't taken them out hunting together anymore. Yue Feng certainly knows the reason, which is that the strength of these people can no longer keep up with the chief's pace.

"Before the chief broke through, he could hunt intermediate cold beasts alone. The next time he leads a team out to hunt, I'm afraid the target will be advanced cold beasts!"

Thinking of what Chen Yingba said just now, that he had dealt with He Yuanhun twice, both because of cooperation in hunting advanced cold beasts, Yue Feng's expression became stern.

There is information contained in the other party's words.

Only those at the Cold Resistance level are qualified to cooperate in hunting advanced cold beasts.

"I must speed up my breakthrough, otherwise, the next time the chief needs someone when he goes out hunting, I won't even have the qualifications to go with him."

The four quickly arrived at the entrance of the Arrow Bamboo Forest, which is where Xia Hong said, and found the prey after searching for a while.

It's just that after finding the prey, the three people who had just questioned Xia Hong's hunting ability were instantly dumbfounded.

Above the green bamboo bushes, there was a snow-white cold beast with a body length of seven or eight meters and a burly figure lying prone. The cold beast's eyes were wide open, its huge palms were limply hanging in front of its chest, and not even a trace of injury could be seen on its body.

"This... this is an intermediate... white bear?"

"Where is its wound?"

"Here, on the back of the neck, come and see."

Hearing that person's shout, Yue Feng and the other two climbed onto the back of the white bear together. After seeing the wound clearly, their pupils suddenly contracted.

Although there was only a narrow cut of more than a foot long on the back of the white bear's neck, the cut was obviously inserted very deeply, and a large amount of blood flowed out from it, almost dyeing most of its back red.

Yue Feng's expression flickered slightly. After searching again on the back of the white bear, he saw several footprints and immediately deduced the hunting process.

"The chief should have kicked the white bear down with his foot first, and then inserted a knife into the back of its neck, cutting off its spine to bleed it..."

Once the spine is broken, the white bear will naturally lose its ability to resist and can only wait for death.

"The chief can kick down such a big white bear with his foot?"

"Directly cut off the spine?"

"This white bear doesn't even seem to have shown any signs of resistance!"

"There are no injuries on the chief's body either."

… … … …

Gudong… …

The three couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva. After looking at each other, they completely realized how ridiculous their doubts about Xia Hong just now were.

"Don't use common sense to infer the chief's strength. In front of the chief, we are probably no different from five or six-year-old children."

Hearing Yue Feng's words this time, the three all nodded, no longer daring to have the slightest doubt, and a strong sense of reverence and fanaticism arose in their hearts for Xia Hong.

The four quickly carried the white bear back to the Mirror Valley iron ore.

Half an hour after nightfall, the large, dark mass of the team finally arrived.

Xia Chuan not only brought all the members of his Yunjiao Squad, but also the six-man squad of Yuwen Tao, Luo Yuan, Yuan Cheng, and Zhao Long's three brothers.

A total of 140 people from seven squads gathered at the iron ore.

"Greetings, Chief!"

Seeing everyone salute Xia Hong, Yue Feng immediately stepped forward and explained the previous situation to Xia Chuan and the others.

Hearing that the Beehive Camp had murderous intentions, although the eldest brother had taught them a harsh lesson in the end, Xia Chuan's gaze still darkened.

"Chen Yingba, I know this person. He has Cold Resistance level strength and a bad temper. He had conflicts with my father before and was beaten once by He Yuanhun. He was beaten very badly, and it was Chen Yingyuan who mediated in the end."

Hearing this, Xia Hong immediately turned his head to look at Yuwen Tao, repeated all the words Chen Yingba had just answered, and then asked:

"How much do you know about the Beehive Camp? Are these words credible?"

"More than 60,000 people, how is that possible? He is definitely lying..."

Yuwen Tao paused for a moment, then continued: "The others are fine. The Beehive Camp does have a hunting squad. I don't know the exact number, but I heard He Yuanhun mention that there are more than 500. Chen Yingba is indeed the squad leader.

Chen Yingyuan and Wu Tianxing are also real, He Yuanhun also mentioned them.

It's just that 60,000 people, that must be fake. If the Beehive Camp had so many people, there wouldn't be so few in the Digging Earth Realm."

Fake.

Then just now, Chen Yingba was lying to himself.

It's not difficult to guess, probably just afraid that he would kill him, so he deliberately exaggerated the strength of the Beehive Camp a little.

Xia Hong shook his head slightly. Chen Yingba's little cleverness naturally couldn't hide from him.

"Next, let's wait and see the Beehive Camp's reaction. I will stay in Mirror Valley during this period of time. Aren't you guys fully exploring the Arrow Bamboo Forest recently? You might as well leave a few squads stationed here. The mine on the south side of the valley is almost bottoming out, right? These two iron mines can also be used."

Xia Chuan nodded upon hearing this, and remembering something, turned to look at Yue Feng and said: "Today is the 30th. Yue Feng, Li Yuankun told me last night that your Shanhe Squad has explored the Arrow Bamboo Forest to a depth of 31 kilometers in these nine days, right?"

Yue Feng's expression brightened upon hearing this. He took out a beast skin scroll from his arms, handed it to Xia Chuan, and nodded in response: "My lord, this is the map I drew."

Xia Chuan looked at the contents of the beast skin scroll, raised his head and said: "I said nine days ago that whoever explores the deepest area of the Arrow Bamboo Forest by the end of this month will be the person in charge of the Mirror Valley outpost. I have confirmed with the other squads, and none of them have more than you, so you will be responsible for this Mirror Valley outpost."

A look of joy appeared on Yue Feng's face, and he bowed and said: "Your subordinate obeys!"

Xia Chuan pondered for a moment, turned to look at Yuwen Tao, and continued to speak:

"We still need someone familiar with Mirror Valley to be stationed here. During this period of time, let the people from the Longwu, Shenwu, Zhenwu, Yingwu, and Xiongwu Squads stay here, together with Yue Feng's Shanhe Squad, a total of six squads, a total of 120 people, Yuwen Sizheng, what do you think?"

Yuwen Tao nodded and said: "That's how it should be. We are more familiar with Mirror Valley and the Arrow Bamboo Forest. The adults' arrangements are fine."

After saying that, he directly turned his head to Hong Guang on the side and said, "Uncle Hong, go back to the camp now and notify Hong Tian, Zhu Ling, Zhu Yuan, and Meng Yi. Have them lead their team members, bring the supplies, and come directly here."

"Okay, I'll go now!"

Standing at the very back, Xia Hong glanced at Hong Guang out of the corner of his eye and smiled slightly.

Hong Guang's Xuanwu Team had already been disbanded. After the team's expansion, he directly joined Yu Wentao's Dragon Martial Team.

After making a mistake, Hong Guang was obviously much more composed and not as impetuous as before.

"Alright, go back, you guys are not needed here for the time being. Oh right, Xia Chuan, how are your preparations going?"

Xia Chuan was stunned when he heard this, and when he realized what Xia Hong was asking, a look of helplessness suddenly appeared on his face. He walked to Xia Hong's side and said somewhat awkwardly, "Big brother, do we really have to do it like that? There's no need, right? It's just living together, wouldn't it be fine to be like everyone else? There's no need to make such a big scene."

Seeing Xia Chuan's awkward posture, Xia Hong couldn't help but smile, shaking his head and saying:

"It's precisely because everyone else hasn't done it this way that I'm having you do it, to set an example for them. Once you take the lead, the rest of the camp will naturally follow suit. Listen to me, it won't be wrong. Hurry back and prepare!"

Seeing Xia Hong's insistence, Xia Chuan could only nod.

"Okay, then I'll take people back now. Big brother, be careful here, remember to send someone back to deliver a message if anything happens."
