Endless Winter: My Camp Infinite Upgrades

Chapter 115 Is it true or false?

Having had experience in previous battles, Xia Hong and his two leading men were naturally familiar with this siege.

Xia Chuan took the lead in flicking his fingers, and several silk threads flew straight towards the two rats. With the cooperation of the other five people, they were the first to entangle their limbs.

The two rats could obviously sense the danger from the six people. Although they looked a little panicked, they reacted quickly. They each turned into silver light and kept drilling into the gaps between the six people, trying to break through and escape.

Unfortunately, Xia Hong and his five companions blocked them with their swords, leaving them no room at all. Sparks kept flying between the teeth of the rodents and the swords. After dozens of collisions, all of them hit the swords of Xia Hong and his five companions. There was no sign of a breakout.

And with these more than ten headless collisions, the larger their range of movement, the tighter their limbs were entangled by Xiachuan's white line.

"Stop, kill!"

The leader, Xia Hong, saw that Xia Chuan's white line had been stretched very tight. He seized the opportunity when the mice were exhausted, shouted loudly, stepped on the long tail of one of the mice with his legs, kicked it hard, jumped up with a knife, and chopped hard at its neck.

The moment he shouted, Xia Chuan, who was not far away, suddenly exerted force with both hands, and the white line instantly became taut. The two mice fell with their limbs falling, and their bodies staggered together, and they fell sideways to the ground.

At the same time, the three brothers Luo Yuan, Zhao Long, also seized the opportunity, gave up the fight, raised their swords and gathered strength, and almost at the same time as Xia Hong, chopped at the back of another rat.

click... click...

The sounds of two bones breaking were heard in succession. Except for Xia Chuan and Xia Hong who were not far away, the swords of the other five people all cut into the bodies of the two rats.

Although Luo Yuan and his four men chopped at the back, their blades also cut almost halfway into the rat's body, which shows how strong the four men were.
Xia Hong was even more exaggerated. He chopped on the neck, and although the rat avoided it in the end, he still chopped on the back of the head.

With this cut, the rat's head shattered directly, and the broken flesh and brain matter splattered all over the ground. Except for the two rat teeth, there was not even a good bone left in the entire head.

Chen Ying and his two sons, as well as a small number of adults in Chen Ye’s camp, who had not yet run far, were already stunned and filled with horror when they saw the six people in the field who looked like gods and demons.

These two powerful cold beasts that could slaughter humans at will only lasted less than three minutes before being killed by the six people in front of them.

Could it be that these six people are gods?

At this moment, not to mention other ordinary people, even Chen Ying, who had met the Xia Hong brothers before, couldn't help but have this thought in his mind.

When they came to their senses, there was only deep admiration and respect in the eyes of everyone looking at Xia Hong and the other six.

"Pack up and run!"

Xia Hong naturally had no idea what Chen Ying and the others were thinking.

He told Luo Yuan and the other five to clean up the battlefield quickly. When he turned around and saw Chen Ying and the others still standing there, he could not help but shout angrily, "What are you still standing there for? Run south quickly!"

Chen Ying and others were awakened by this and immediately continued to flee south.

On this side, seeing that Xia Chuan and the other five had cleaned up the battlefield, Xia Hong took the lead and ran south without saying anything. The five men, of course, followed closely behind them, carrying two wrapped rat carcasses.

It took more than five minutes to light the first torch and come from the south; it took more than two minutes to watch the group of rats passing by; and it took another three minutes to kill the two rats just now, which made more than twelve minutes.

Xia Hong roughly calculated the time in his mind and realized that the torches would soon go out, so he quickly quickened his pace. In less than ten breaths, he caught up with the people from Chen Ye's camp who were running ahead.

Seeing Xia Hong coming, Chen Ying and the other two, regardless of their injuries, immediately bowed and knelt down in front of him with excited expressions.

"Captain Xia, thank you for your kindness..."

"Captain Chen, time is urgent. No need to say these things. Just lead your men and keep running."

Xia Hong helped Chen Ying up and interrupted him. Looking at the group of people walking slowly, he thought for a moment and turned around and said, "Zhao Long, the three of you should lead them back to the camp as fast as you can. Chuan and Luo Yuan, stay here with me to cover your retreat."

"Yes, leader!"

The three Zhao Long brothers immediately nodded and obeyed. Each of them picked up two children, and then ordered other adults who still had the strength to take their children with them, and urged everyone to leave quickly.

With the organization of the three Zhao Long brothers and the assistance of Chen Ying and his son, the originally chaotic crowd immediately became orderly, and the efficiency of evacuating to the south also increased a lot.

Xia Hong and the other two had already found a tree, stood on it, and watched everyone evacuate before they breathed a sigh of relief.

Luo Yuan couldn't help but shook his head and sighed:
"Chen Ying and his gang are so lucky!"

"We are indeed lucky. I saw the faces of Chen Ying and his two sons. They haven't eaten for at least two or three days. They must have been trapped for too long and had eaten up all their food reserves. They just rushed out of the cave, probably wanting to make a desperate attempt. They accidentally ran into us luring away the rats. If the timing was a little different, none of them would have survived..."

Hearing Xia Chuan's words, Xia Hong couldn't help but nodded, and in his heart he sighed that the people in Chen Ye's camp were really lucky.

"It's a good thing that my eldest brother said he would come back to check on the next move of the rat pack, otherwise those two rats would have probably killed them all."

"So far, our plan for tonight is going pretty well. Nothing has happened to the six of you. There aren't many frigid beasts along the way, and the probability of the rest of us getting into trouble is not high either. We'll know tomorrow morning. Now, we just have to wait and see if the group of rats will come back..."

As Xia Hong spoke, he stared at the outskirts of Redwood Ridge in the northwest, hoping that the group of rats would never come back.

Xiachuan Luoyuan was just like him, looking at Hongmu Ridge with a somewhat nervous expression.

Dong dong dong......

However, after just three minutes of staring, the time Xia Hong had expected the torch to go out arrived.

There was a huge noise coming from the ground.

Xia Hong, who felt it first, was the first to raise his head.

In the northwest, on the outskirts of Redwood Ridge, we could see a group of silver rats that stretched as far as the eye could see, rapidly returning toward the northern slope of the mountain wall.

Xia Hong's face suddenly turned gloomy.

"We're back again. It seems that there must be something on the top of the north slope that is attracting these long-tailed rats. We can't stay here anymore. Let's go!"

After Xia Hong finished speaking, he ran towards the south without looking back, and Xia Chuan and Luo Yuan followed closely behind him.

The three people running south all looked unhappy.

The return of the rodent swarm to the north slope of the mountain wall meant that their guidance plan, which had taken so much risk and invested so much manpower tonight, had completely failed.

After all the effort, the risk didn't decrease at all, which was equivalent to a useless effort. The three of them felt extremely heavy.

The three of them moved very quickly and soon caught up with Zhao Long and his group.

"Leader, what's going on..."

Zhao Long subconsciously wanted to ask about the situation of the rodent group, but when he saw Xia Hong's expression and realized that the situation was not good, he immediately stopped.

"Captain Xia, about a hundred meters up the northern slope of the mountain, there must be something in the mountain that attracts these rats. They gather there during the day. Although I haven't seen it with my own eyes, I can feel it after hiding in the cave for more than ten days."

Chen Ye walked over at this time and spoke to Xia Hong with a respectful look.

Obviously, on the way of escape just now, he had learned about Xia Hong's plan for tonight from the three Zhao Long brothers. When he saw the ugly faces of Xia Hong and the other two when they came back, he realized that the group of rats had returned again, so he hurriedly explained what he knew.

Xia Hong nodded when he heard this. Although he had guessed it a long time ago, with the evidence from Chen Ying's words, he was at least more certain.

It is easy to imagine that the thing on the top of the north slope is not simple, as it can attract such a large number of rodents.

But no matter whether it was Xia Hong or the others, after realizing this, they did not feel the slightest bit of covetousness in their hearts, but instead were filled with deep worry.

After all, no matter how precious something is, it is not as valuable as life.

The huge group of rodents was right in front of them. With Da Xia's current strength, no matter how great the benefit was, it would not be theirs.

On the contrary, if the rat group moves a little one day and discovers the valley, it will be a disaster for them.

As long as they are still on the north slope, Daxia may be discovered when they go out hunting, logging, gathering, or anything else. It is like a sword hanging over their heads, ready to fall at any time.

The problem of rodents must be solved proactively and without delay.

But, I’m not strong enough!

Is there any way to solve them?

While Xia Hong was thinking about how to deal with the group of rats in his mind, he followed the team and headed towards the valley camp.

"Chief, we're here!"

The total distance was only two kilometers, and as they were frightened by the swarm of rats, they moved at a fast pace and soon arrived at the entrance of the valley camp.

More than half a year later, when they saw the gate of Rogue Camp again, Chen Ying and his two sons looked a little sad, but when they turned to look at Xia Hong, infinite hope and longing rose in their hearts again.

On the way back just now, Zhao Long told them more than just the matter of luring away the swarm of rats tonight.

The Rogge Camp has become a thing of the past; the valley has now been taken over by the Daxia Camp; Xia Hong is the only leader; Dashi, Huang Zhao, Dachuan, and more than a hundred people from the former Rogge Camp have all been incorporated into Daxia.

The Great Xia camp, with a total of more than 800 people, now has six digging-level masters and more than a hundred logging-level masters. It can be said that it is a gathering of strong people.

If these news were enough to make Chen Ying dumbfounded;

Then, when Chen Ying heard about the various rules currently implemented in the Great Xia Camp, especially the system for dividing the cold beast meat, he was even more shocked.

The hunting team, logging team, gathering team, camp supply station, and craftsman workshop are the five major organizations. The digging team has 10 catties per day, the logging team has 5 catties per day, and everyone over the age of six is ​​considered a reserve, with a quota of one to two catties per day. Even children under the age of six can get 5 catties per month, which they eat with crystal fruits as a supplementary food...

If they had not seen with their own eyes the divine demeanor of Xia Hong and the other six, no matter who said these words, Chen Ying and his two sons would probably think the other person was a lunatic.

How can this be?

Did the meat of Daxia's cold beasts fall from the sky?
After being bombarded with this information, when Zhao Long said that Daxia had originally planned to accommodate the more than 200 people in Chen Ye's camp, Chen Ying was completely numb. Of course, he could not refuse.

He now had only one thought in mind, which was to enter the Daxia camp and verify with his own eyes whether what Zhao Long said was true or false.

"It doesn't have to be 100% true, even if it's one-half, no, as long as it's one-tenth true, I'll be satisfied!"

At the last moment before entering the valley, Chen Ying and his two sons all had the same thought in their minds.

After all, even if Zhao Long was exaggerating and only one tenth of his words were true, they could still get half a pound of cold beast meat every day!
With this mentality, Chen Ying and his two sons followed the more than 200 people in Chen Ye’s camp, slowly walked through the passage and entered the valley.

"Isn't it too warm in this valley?"

"This... is such a big house..."

"Is that a tarpaulin on the roof of the house?"

"so many people!"

"How can there be so much wood? So big, so many..."

"Crystal Fruit, is that the scent of Crystal Fruit at the entrance of that cave?"

"There is a meaty aroma. I smell meaty aroma. It is the meat of a cold beast. I have eaten it before..."

………………

Before they had completely entered, exclamations and praises could be heard from the front of the team. Upon hearing the sounds, Chen Ying, his sons and his two companions at the back became even more curious and unconsciously quickened their pace to rush to the front of the crowd.
