Endless Winter: My Camp Upgrades Infinitely

Hearing Shi Qing's request to resign and leave, and his words being so polite, Xia Hong raised his eyebrows slightly, his heart suddenly becoming more curious.

You should know that they are now picking crystal fruits on the territory of the Great Stone Camp.

Trespassing into the sphere of influence of other camps is no small matter in Redwood Ridge.

Shi Dong had at least pointed them out just now.

However, Shi Qing, from beginning to end, did not say a word about their trespassing into the Great Stone territory to pick crystal fruits, as if he didn't see it.

Xia Hong's heart stirred slightly, he did not directly agree to let Shi Qing leave, but instead turned his gaze to the bag on Shi Dong's back, the bag was bulging, and it was obvious at a glance that it was filled with crystal fruits.

"Stone Leader, why did only the two of you come out tonight?"

Shi Qing's face stiffened slightly, but he quickly steadied his expression and said, "We are just picking some crystal fruits, we don't need so many people. Why, Head Leader Xia, do you know people from our camp's logging team?"

When Xia Hong spoke, he kept staring at Shi Qing. Although the other party concealed it well, the subtle stiffness in his expression was still seen by him.

However, Xia Hong didn't say anything, just nodded with a smile that wasn't a smile.

"Since that's the case, then Stone Leader, please go back first, we'll meet again another day."

"Okay, Shi will take his leave first, Head Leader Xia, we'll meet again another day."

It could be seen that Shi Qing was really in a hurry. Seeing that Xia Hong let him go, he immediately left without looking back, almost running away with Shi Dong.

Xia Hong stared at the backs of the two leaving, a pensive look on his face.

"Head Leader, are we just letting them go like that, without teaching them a lesson?"

Yuan Cheng had always had a lot of opinions about the Great Stone Camp. Originally, seeing Xia Hong stopping the two, he thought he could teach them a lesson tonight, but who knew they would just let them go.

Xia Hong shook his head and said, "There's no need. During this period, we have picked so many crystal fruits here in Great Stone, which is considered revenge for them before. Moreover, something should have happened to the Great Stone Camp…"

Yuan Cheng's expression froze, revealing incomprehension.

On the other hand, Yue Feng, who was next to him, walked over and nodded, saying, "Something must have happened. Great Stone has more than a dozen Logging Realm combatants. Why would he, as the leader, personally come out to pick some crystal fruits? Moreover, we have basically swept away all the crystal fruits here during this period. The bag of crystal fruits on their backs shouldn't have been picked on their own territory either."

Xia Hong smiled approvingly at Yue Feng. Among the Logging Realm members of the camp, Yue Feng was the oldest, and his observation and consideration of problems were obviously more detailed than others.

Shi Qing must have lied, but Xia Hong couldn't be sure what exactly happened to the Great Stone Camp. Just now, he wanted to ask, but he held back the words when they reached his mouth.

Camps are very taboo about inquiring about each other's situation.

Just like after Xia Ding and the logging team were completely wiped out before, Xia Hong was also very worried about encountering people from other camps. Later, when he encountered Wang Ming's group, he had to bluff and pretend that Xia Ding and others were still there.

If he rashly asked, Shi Qing would not only not say it, but would instead be more wary of him.

"Alright, never mind them. Picking this much tonight is enough. Let's go back first. Xu An, Liu Yuan, Li Yuankun, the three of you will each cut down one tree tonight, and everyone else will cut down two trees."

If he couldn't figure it out, he simply stopped thinking about it.

Xia Hong turned his head to look at the people, smiling as he announced the remaining tasks for tonight.

Since the last time they harvested the Golden-Eyed Magic Goat, plus the subsequent income from hunting, the camp's cold beast meat suddenly became abundant.

And after the thrilling scene of the strange monster attacking Xia Hong, the young people in the camp became even more enthusiastic about cultivation. With the ample supply of cold beast meat, the camp added three more young new Logging Realm combatants.

Unsurprisingly, these three, like the previous eight, were still the offspring of the original logging team members.

It is worth mentioning that Xu An is Xu Ning's younger brother.

A month ago, in the incident with the Golden-Eyed Magic Goat, Xu Ning lost his right eye. Although it did not affect his cultivation and his injuries had almost recovered, for safety reasons, Xia Hong still tried to reduce his outings and let him stay in the camp.

Probably stimulated by his brother's blindness, Xu An's cultivation was exceptionally diligent in the following period, so he was also the first to break through among the three.

In just one month, three new Logging Realm combatants were added, which was extremely encouraging for the camp that had just suffered losses.

Xu Ning often joked that if he had known that one right eye could be exchanged for three Logging Realms, he would have simply given his left eye to that cold beast.

Jokes cannot be taken seriously, but losing one thing and gaining another is also a fact.

The camp's Logging Realm combat power currently has ten people. Counting Xia Hong, the Earth Digging Realm leader, it can be said that the current Great Xia Camp is far stronger than when Xia Ding was the leader.

The iron smelting furnace keeps warm and defends against strange monsters, the small torches cooperate with the increasingly improved strength of the people, and the camp's hunting ability is also getting stronger and stronger. More importantly, the fire-凝 oil allows everyone to have the power to fight even when facing strange monsters outside.

It can be said that the current Great Xia Camp has improved more than one level in all aspects compared to the original, and all of this is only brought about by the first building of the system.

Xia Hong is extremely greedy for the remaining eight buildings.

It's a pity that a clever woman cannot cook without rice.

Even the worst of the remaining buildings requires iron resources to be lit up, not to mention those buildings that require gold and silver resources.

Therefore, during this period, Xia Hong handed over normal logging and fruit picking tasks to others, while he himself, in addition to presiding over hunting, constantly searched around Redwood Ridge and the camp, hoping to find coal and iron mines as soon as possible.

The latest novels are on 69shu.吧首发!

It's a pity that he has been searching alone for more than half a month and still hasn't found anything.

He wanted to let Xia Chuan and others come to find, but others did not have the Earth Digging Realm, and they couldn't even break the soil on the ground, let alone the mountains and rocks.

Therefore, not only does he have to rely on himself to find mines, but even if he finds a mine later, if no one has broken through the Earth Digging Realm, then he can only do the mining.

"We have no shortage of wood and crystal fruits now. What we lack now is cold beast meat. We can't be anxious if we can't find coal and iron for the time being. When more people break through the Earth Digging Realm, we can expand the search area and find it sooner or later."

Xia Hong thought to himself, seeing that the others had almost packed up, he quickly followed.

Getting closer to the crowd, Xia Hong realized that Xia Chuan seemed to be thinking about something with his head down, his expression absent-minded.

Like Yuan Cheng, Xia Chuan had experienced the Great Stone Camp trespassing before, and Xia Chuan had been silent when Shi Qing and the two were there just now.

Xia Hong thought he was thinking about this, so he stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder, asking, "Are you a little dissatisfied that I let Shi Qing and the two go?"

However, Xia Chuan shook his head, then said with some hesitation on his face:

"I was thinking, how did Shi Dong recognize you at a glance just now? We've met before, and there were only four people, Wang Ming. Even if it was just an oral description, it shouldn't be possible to recognize you the first time we meet, right? Moreover, there are ten of us, and Shi Dong recognized you at a glance. I feel like something is wrong!"

Hearing these words, Xia Hong was suddenly stunned, as if a string in his mind had been plucked.

That's right!

The first time he went out after breaking through the Logging Realm, he was hiding in the dark, so he could recognize Shi Qing and Shi Dong; the second time he went out with Xia Chuan and Yuan Cheng, they only encountered Wang Ming and the four who stole crystal fruits.

Neither Shi Qing nor Shi Dong had seen him before.

Instantly, many things appeared in Xia Hong's mind…

The bodies of Wang Ming and the four he had seen in Great Xia's territory before;

The knife that Shi Qing didn't even have time to clean up;

He hadn't seen the two of them in the territory of the Great Stone Camp during this period;

The crystal fruits that Shi Qing and the two brought back from the north, none of the other Logging Realm members of the Great Stone Camp were seen;

Even the many changes in Shi Qing's face just now…

After integrating the clues in his mind, Xia Hong suddenly raised his head, his face changed greatly:

"Something's wrong, hurry up and follow them, there's a problem with Shi Dong!"
