Endless Winter: My Camp Infinite Upgrades

Chapter 126: Bamboo Forest, Rat King, New Camp
laugh…………

"Close up and move forward, drive them further north!"

Xia Hong had already killed his way to the end of the rat group and confirmed that the rats in front were retreating. He cut a rat that was trying to escape in front of him into two pieces with one knife. He didn't even turn his head and gave orders directly.

The two groups of people separated on the east and west sides were gradually moving towards the south. Upon hearing Xia Hong's order, they immediately slowed down their archery speed and sped up their movement.

On the top of the eastern mountain wall, the three Zhao Long brothers led everyone and slid down the slope of the stone wall. Although the top of the mountain was more than a hundred meters above the ground, it could not cause any harm to the loggers.

After landing, they shot arrows and quickly moved towards Xia Hong's position.

On the west side of Hongmu Ridge, Xia Chuan Luoyuan also led his men, continuously shooting arrows to drive back the group of rats, while accelerating towards Xia Hong.

But after a while, the two groups came together.

There were only more than ten meters left to Xia Hong, who was in the front.

Xia Hong rushed too fast and had killed half of the dozen rats that had just surrounded him. Perhaps he had forgotten himself in the rush or was a little unsatisfied, but he kept chasing forward.

"Zhao Long, the three of you continue to lead the team, don't get close, Luo Yuan, Yuan Cheng, follow me and help the leader!"

Seeing that Xia Hong had caught up with the last group of rats, he rushed in directly. Xia Chuan finally couldn't stand it anymore. After shouting to Zhao Long and the other two, he pulled Luo Yuan and Yuan Cheng beside him and rushed over to help.

Xia Hong had already mixed in with the end of the rat pack, so the people behind him could no longer shoot arrows in his direction.

This means that Xia Hong no longer has the support of bows and arrows.

Of course the three of them would rush over to help.

The three of them were all confident that they had the strength to reach the Digging Realm, and did not take the poisoned rats seriously. However, when they actually entered the group of rats, they realized how naive they were.

Xia Chuan, who was the first to rush in, was about to get close to Xia Hong when suddenly the hairs on his back stood up and a strong sense of crisis came to his mind. Without thinking, he took out the black knife and blocked it behind his head.

call out…………

Two inch-long red lights suddenly attacked and collided violently with the black knife.

Although the black knife blocked the red light, Xia Chuan's arm holding the knife trembled violently, and his body flew backwards two or three meters. If Xia Hong had not come over and helped him in time, he would have fallen to the ground.

"Be careful, this red light has strong penetrating power, but its range is very short, only one or two meters at most. Use the silk thread to interfere with them, and let Yuan Cheng and Luo Yuan cooperate. It won't be difficult for the three of you to work together to kill them!"

"Understood, Chief!"

Luo Yuan and Yuan Cheng also came over at this time. Both of them looked a little embarrassed. Yuan Cheng even had a wound on his arm. It was obvious that he had suffered a lot from the Red Mouse.

Because they were too far away and it was night time, the three of them didn't see it at all. They thought it was a rat that was bitten by Tengjiao's poisonous fog and its eyes could not emit red light.

Only at this moment did they realize that Xia Hong, who was the first to rush into the rat group, seemed to be slaughtering the rats as if he was cutting melons and vegetables, but in fact the pressure he faced was much greater than they had imagined.

"The leader is already very strong, and with the ceremonial sword in his hand, the attack range is wide and long, which is just right for dealing with rats. The three of us are not as strong as him, so we should work together honestly. I will interfere and you guys take the lead."

"it is good!"

Xia Chuan's silk thread flew and entangled the nearest rat. Luo Yuan and Yuan Cheng immediately followed with swords in hand. Having suffered losses before, the red light of the rat could not gain any advantage in the hands of the three of them. Just as Xia Hong said, it was not difficult for the three of them to join forces to kill the rat.

There weren't many rodents left here, and most of them were being chased and killed by Xia Hong. The three of them had to deal with only four or five in total.

While Xia Hong was communicating with the three people just now, his hands did not stop moving. In just a short while, three or four rats were beheaded by his ceremonial sword.

After killing the most recent wave of rats, Xia Hong saw that the ones at the end of the group had already run twenty meters away. His expression flickered slightly, and he did not chase them anymore. Instead, he started to clean up other slow-running rats nearby.

At the back, Zhao Long turned around and glanced at the quiver behind him, then looked at the quivers of Zhao Hu and Zhao Bao next to him, and found that the three of them only had six or seven arrows left. He frowned and asked loudly:

"How many arrows are left? Tell us the count!"

"Seven."

"I have six left."

"I only have two left."

"Seven."

"Five."

"Six!"

…………

As expected!
Hearing the voices of the crowd one after another, Zhao Long's expression suddenly became more serious.

He had a rough idea of ​​how many arrows were left.

Those who came tonight were basically at the lumberjack level, with similar strengths. Even the length of time they practiced archery was basically the same, so their archery levels were not much different.

Xia Hong equipped the three brothers with fifty arrows, but their shooting speed was twice as fast as others, so they only had six or seven arrows left. Excluding some of those with slightly better archery skills, the others also had six or seven arrows left.

"You can stop for a while. The rats are retreating. Follow me and chase them for a while. Be ready to shoot again at any time."

Xia Hong, who was not far away, focused his attention here after Zhao Long asked that question. After hearing everyone's answers, he immediately gave new orders.

With six or seven arrows, at most one or two decent offensives can be organized.

The group of rodents has begun to retreat. Since there is no possibility of leaving them all here, there is no need to shoot all the arrows. It is safest to keep some for emergencies.

Hearing the sound, the people in the rear immediately stopped shooting. Then, led by Zhao Long and the other two, they quickly caught up with Xia Hong, who had deliberately slowed down.

Although the rain of arrows stopped, the group of rats were still fleeing to the north with a rustling sound.

Xia Hong led everyone to chase for nearly two kilometers, until they saw a frosty white bamboo forest in the distance, then he looked slightly relieved, waved his hand, and stopped everyone.

"That's the Arrow Bamboo Forest, right?"

Xia Chuan asked lightly. Xia Hong had already shown him the map left by Luo Ming, so he recognized it at a glance.

Xia Hong nodded and turned his gaze to the left side of the bamboo forest. He saw a mountain path about three or four meters wide and his eyes flashed slightly.

As Luo Ming said before he left, if you take this path and pass through the bamboo forest, you will reach Pingxi Plain behind you. On Pingxi Plain there is a giant camp called Beehive.

If everything went well, Luo Ming should be there now.

"No wonder Luo Ming has to wait until the crystal fruit matures. This arrow bamboo forest is almost connected to the redwood ridge. There should be quite a few cold beasts lurking in it."

Luo Ming once said that every year when the ice trees bear fruit, there are three to five days when the cold beasts will hide in the arrow bamboo forest. During this period, as long as your luck is not too bad, it is not a problem to risk passing through.

Since it can attract a large number of cold beasts to gather here, this bamboo forest must be something extraordinary.

If there is really something dangerous in there, it would be just right to drive these rats in.

"Keep shooting and drive them in!"

Seeing that the group of rats suddenly slowed down as they approached the bamboo forest, Xia Hong immediately gave orders to everyone.

You have to go in even if you don't want to!

Although there was no one blocking the eastern mountain wall, it would still take time to climb up. The group of rats, which had been frightened by the arrows, naturally did not dare to run to the high mountain on the east side.

The effect of Tengjiao's toxin is still there, and their efficiency in digging holes is too slow.

More than a hundred people fired at the same time, and another wave of arrows came.

The group of rats had no choice but to enter the bamboo forest.

"Zhao Long, give me the bow!"

Seeing a few rats at the front of the group still standing still, Xia Hong turned around and took Zhao Long's bow.

Zhao Long also brought an iron arrow.

Xia Hong took the iron arrow, put it on the iron bow, looked at the mice in the front from a distance, narrowed his eyes, and suddenly exerted force with both hands. It was not enough to pull the bow to a full moon, so he added a little more strength, almost deforming the bow.

stretch…………

Xia Hong loosened his right hand, the bowstring made a loud sound, and the iron arrow shot out at an extremely terrifying speed, pulling the surrounding air along the way.

The distance was over a hundred meters, and it was reached in almost an instant.

Pfft…………

The sharp arrow pierced directly into the head of the rat in front, and the powerful force caused the rat to fly forward three or four meters.

The arrow came out from behind the skull and nailed the rat directly to the ground.

The rat didn't even scream, and even its body struggled instinctively. It was nailed to the ground, lying motionless, and died instantly.

All the people who were still shooting arrows on the side looked at Xia Hong in the front, with admiration and fanaticism in their eyes.

From such a distance, one arrow can kill him.

Even Zhao Long and the other two probably couldn't do it.

But for the leader, it’s as simple as eating and drinking!
"Come again!"

After Xia Hong killed the enemy with one arrow, he was still not satisfied.

Upon hearing this, Zhao Long immediately handed over another one.

Tighten…tighten…tighten…tighten…

Xia Hong fired four arrows in succession, all of which hit the target at the front of the group of rats. Although the force was not as strong as the first one and failed to kill the target with one arrow, it made the group of rats in the front become agitated and obviously panicked.

At this time, it was not only Xia Hong who was shooting arrows, the others also did not stop.

“Squeak, squeak, squeak…”

The rat in the front seemed to be too frightened, but after letting out a shrill cry, it rushed straight towards the bamboo forest.

Its movement immediately triggered a chain reaction. More than 200 rats behind it followed suit and fled madly towards the north.

The last five arrows shot by Xia Hong unexpectedly became the last straw that broke the camel's back.

A swarm of rats swarmed towards the bamboo forest.

"call…………"

At this moment, Xia Hong finally let out a sigh of relief, and returned the longbow in his hand to Zhao Long.

"Escaped. The rats have escaped."

"Hahahaha, of course. They're so far away and poisoned. If they stay here, they'll be sitting ducks. We can only run away."

"I just shot twenty-seven arrows, so I should have missed only one, hehe!"

"Why are you so proud? I shot 28 arrows and all of them hit the target."

"Neither of you can do that. I shot all 25 arrows, and seven of them hit the rats' eyes. I just don't know if those rats are dead or not."

"Don't compare. I just saw that the three masters Zhao Long killed at least a dozen of them. Your level is not good enough."

"Xia Chuan, Luo Yuan, and Yuan Cheng are also very strong. They just killed six or seven of them together."

"The leader is even more powerful. I didn't see him on the cliff, but when he came down, he killed more than a dozen of them with his long knife. I think he killed the most tonight."

"That's for sure. The leader rushed directly into the rat pile. Who can compare?"

"The long knife in the leader's hand is so powerful that the rat can't dodge it at all!"

"It's called Yidao. Leader Gang said it himself. I heard it."

………………

As the group of gnats disappeared into the bamboo forest, everyone relaxed a lot. Many people even started discussing the battle and boasted about how many gnats they had shot.

Faced with such a huge victory, Xia Hong couldn't help but feel a lot more relaxed.

After all, there are nearly four hundred low-level cold beasts.

Under normal circumstances, let alone the more than a hundred people present today, even if everyone in the Daxia camp risked their lives, they would not be able to defeat this group of rats.

Ninety-nine bows and more than three thousand iron arrows.

It actually solved these serious problems!
Xia Hong was shocked. He turned around to look at everyone, waved his hand lightly, and was about to ask someone to clean up the prey on the ground.

But before he could open his mouth, he felt a slight tremor under his feet.

"Everyone, be quiet!"

Xia Hong subconsciously thought that the noise under his feet was caused by everyone being too excited, so he signaled for everyone to be quiet.

But as soon as he said this, he suddenly realized that something was wrong.

Given the hardness of the earth in the Ice Abyss World, it is impossible for a group of loggers to make any noise.

"Get out of the way!"

Xia Hong turned around and shouted at everyone, then suddenly threw himself to the side to dodge. He felt clearly that the movement was happening right under his feet.

The crowd, who didn't know what was going on, was shocked, but out of inertia, they reacted quickly and scattered.

It happened so quickly that Xia Hong fell to the ground and everyone scattered. It all happened in a flash. Before they could finish their actions, a red light about an inch long suddenly broke out from the ground where Xia Hong had just stood.

The red light broke through the ground and arrived almost instantly.

Before Xia Hong could dodge sideways, the arrow had already penetrated the soles of his feet and went straight to his head.

"Ruined!"

A trace of panic flashed across Xia Hong's face, and his pupils became bloodshot instantly. Although he had reacted by tilting his head, the speed of the red light was too fast, and it was impossible for him to avoid it completely.

If the head is pierced, even if you are lucky enough to survive, you will probably lose half your life.

"Leader!"

At the critical moment, Xia Hong had no idea who was shouting. He just felt his body being hit violently, and then a red light pierced through something with a puff.

Xia Hong didn't care about the pierced soles of his feet at all. He turned back suddenly and found that the person who had just knocked him away was Luo Yuan.

Luo Yuan had already flown backwards for more than ten meters, with a blood hole the size of a baby's fist on his shoulder. He fell directly to the ground, and it was unknown whether he was dead or alive.

What was even more terrible was that after the red light passed through Luo Yuan's shoulder, it flew forward more than ten meters and pierced through the bodies of seven or eight people. Two of them were unlucky and were shot through the head. They definitely died.

"There is something underground, everyone disperse, Xia Chuan go save Luo Yuan!"

Xia Hong dragged his injured leg and yelled at everyone. He looked back at the ground where he had just stood. There was a round hole the size of a baby's fist, and his pupils suddenly froze.

This red light was completely different from those emitted by the previous rats in terms of size, speed, and lethality.

Not to mention, it shot out directly from the ground!

Judging from the distance from where the movement was just felt underground, the location where the red light came from was definitely five or six meters above the ground. That was to say, the attack range of the red light of this underground rat was also far beyond that of other rats.

"It's the leader rat, it must be the leader rat. These cold beasts really do have a leader!"

Whether it was from the extremely high intelligence of creatures like the cold beasts, or from his experience of encountering a pack of frost wolves during previous migration, Xia Hong had a vague sense of this, but after all, he had never seen it, so he didn't dare to be sure.

At this moment, he could finally be sure.

But it was confirmed a little late.

Xia Hong looked down at the pierced sole of his foot. Although his forehead was sweating from the pain, he didn't care at all. He took out a handful of golden wound powder from his arms and smeared it on the sole, then immediately turned around to make arrangements.

"Everyone stand still, don't move, don't make any noise!"

Since it was hiding underground to launch a sneak attack, no matter how powerful this rat king was, he must be very cautious. If he didn't come out, he could only rely on hearing to determine the location of people.

The temperature in the Ice Abyss world is so low that even on the ground, it is extremely difficult for the breath of species to be transmitted. What's more, this rat king is still hiding underground, and it is even more impossible to judge a person's location by his breath.

It can only be done by listening!
As soon as Xia Hong finished speaking, everyone stopped immediately, even Xia Chuan, who was carrying Luo Yuan on his back, froze in place.

The noisy environment suddenly became quiet.

As expected, as everyone stood still, the movement underground also stopped abruptly, and no red light was emitted afterwards.

In the whole place, Xia Hong was the only one moving.

It wasn't that he didn't want to stop, but the words he just said to ask everyone to be quiet had already exposed his position.

Xia Hong clearly felt that the Rat King was moving constantly under the ground beneath his feet, sticking to him tightly, and was obviously preparing to shoot out a second red light.

"This beast is so fast even underground, it's over!"

Rats are fast to begin with, and the one underground is the Rat King, who has not yet been affected by Teng Jiao's poison. Xia Hong found that no matter how he ran, the Rat King underground would follow him, and he felt a little desperate.

Judging from the penetrating power and speed of the first red light, I, with my injured foot, would definitely not be able to avoid it.

Once the second red light is shot out, he will surely die!

"Brother, let me help you!"

"Chief, I'm here to help you."

…………

Just when Xia Hong was in despair, four voices suddenly came from the field one after another.

It turned out to be the three brothers Xia Chuan, Zhao Long.

At this moment, Xia Chuan had put the unconscious Luo Yuan on the ground and rushed towards Xia Hong, still shouting something; the three Zhao Long brothers did the same, and as they rushed, they drew their arrows and shot wildly at the ground behind Xia Hong.

Seeing the actions of the four people, Xia Hong's eyes suddenly flashed with emotion.

Shouting and shooting arrows on the ground were obviously futile. How could Xia Chuan and the three Zhao Long brothers not know that?

The four of them were using this method to attract the attention of the Underground Rat King for him, so how could he not know?

"Don't come over here, I can do it myself!"

Xia Hong glanced at a big tree next to him, and an idea suddenly came to his mind. He shouted to the four people, then held a long knife in his mouth, endured the huge pain from his feet, and climbed directly up the tree.

"Since you can't hide, I'll lure you out and see how strong you are, this evil beast!"

The red light of ordinary rodents has an attack range of only one or two meters, which is extremely limited;
Although the Rat King is stronger than ordinary rats, judging from the first red light just now, it is only a little over twenty meters long at most.

Standing on the ground, you can't avoid it.

But once you climb a tree, it’s a different story.

Xia Hong gritted his teeth and climbed to a height of more than 20 meters in one breath. Then he put his ear against the tree and listened attentively to the movements inside.

Xia Chuan and the other three who saw his actions reacted immediately. Although they all stopped and continued to stand still, their eyes were still full of worry when they looked at Xia Hong.

Click…………

The scene became quiet again. Xia Hong, who was lying on the big tree, heard a subtle but rapid clicking sound. He realized that the Rat King was digging all the way up from the ground along the bottom of the tree. His pupils suddenly froze.

"I'm afraid you won't come!"

In fact, there was no need to listen to the sound to distinguish. When the Rat King dug less than five meters upwards, Xia Hong could clearly feel that the tree was shaking.

The noise made by this rat king when digging a hole is so loud, even less than those of ordinary rats.

Although Xia Hong was joking in his heart, the veins on his hands that were tightly gripping the ceremonial sword were bulging, and the cold light in his pupils reached its peak.

The Rat King seemed to have already defeated him, and he went straight up. In four or five breaths, he had passed the middle section and was less than ten meters away from him.

Xia Hong tightly gripped the ceremonial knife and paid close attention to the movements under the tree. He remained motionless while the Rat King was digging upwards.

Until the moment the Rat King got to the last five or six meters away from him, and suddenly stopped.

Xia Hong, move!
He spotted the right spot, leaped down from the treetop, used his uninjured foot to kick a branch hard, used the recoil to transform his ceremonial sword into a gun, and stabbed with all his might into the spot where the Rat King had just stopped.

Xia Hong's basic strength was already 21,000. During the nearly one month of frantic bow-making, he had never stopped eating the meat of cold beasts such as gnats and dragons, and he worked at the limit every day.

Although he did not take a specific test, Xia Hong estimated that his basic strength was between 23,000 and 24,000 at the minimum. Not to mention a mere tree bark, even if there was a pile of cold beast bones in front of him, he would be able to pierce through them with this one blow.

puff…………

The surface of the tree was pierced by the ceremonial knife without any suspense. The force was so great that almost all of the 1.5-meter-long blade of the ceremonial knife was inserted into the tree, leaving only the handle held in Xia Hong's hand, still outside.

squeak…………

There was a burst of angry rat calls coming from the tree, but Xia Hong was not afraid. Instead, an excited smile appeared on his face. He immediately let go, turned around and shouted to Zhao Long and the other two while falling down.

"Look at the position of my knife!"

Whoosh…whoosh…whoosh…

The tacit understanding formed by long-term joint hunting did not need Xia Hong to remind them at all.

He had barely said half of his words when the special iron arrows of the three Zhao Long brothers had already cut through the sky and were firmly inserted into a position near the ceremonial sword.

After the first wave of three arrows were shot, two more rounds followed, a total of nine specially made iron arrows, all of which were inserted into the tree, with almost no tails left outside, which shows how powerful they were.

“Squeak, squeak, squeak…”

The Rat King inside the tree was shot somewhere and let out a cry that was even more angry than before and also had a hint of miserability.

Click…………

A huge tail about seven or eight meters long suddenly stretched out and split the tree in half. A giant rat with a body length of more than four meters was squeezed in the middle of the tree with its head up and its feet down.

The tree fell, and the giant rat fell to the ground.

Unlike the silver fur of ordinary rats, a small part of the fur on this rat king's body has turned golden.

Its pair of small red eyes were staring at Xia Hong, full of hatred and malice. Its two giant fangs emitted a chilling cold light. The seven or eight meter long, flesh-colored tail with barbs behind it was swaying from side to side, which was quite terrifying.

It is four times the size of an ordinary rodent.

No wonder, no wonder it made such a big noise in the tree just now.

Unlike what other people were paying attention to, as soon as the Rat King landed, Xia Hong saw a long knife wound under its armpit and four or five bloody holes on its back.

Obviously, just now in the tree, his ceremonial sword and the arrows of Zhao Long and the other two had caused damage to the Rat King. Although it was not serious, it was at least an injury.

Moreover, although the Rat King's expression was subtle when he came out of the tree, Xia Hong still noticed the fleeting sense of confusion. Combined with the fact that the Rat King had not shown up before and chose to attack him underground, Xia Hong easily guessed it.

Even the Rat King will be affected by the poisonous fog of the natural enemy Teng Jiao.

"Everyone, come together and raise your bows, aim at it, and don't shoot!"

The people who had just scattered were already moving together as the rat broke out of the tree. Upon hearing Xia Hong's order, they immediately sped up and moved together. They all drew their bows and arrows at the same time, aiming at the Rat King.

Seeing that the Rat King's thin and pointed face was still full of ferocious hatred, and his body was motionless, Xia Hong frowned slightly and raised his hand directly behind him.

"it works!"

The moment he raised his hand, Xia Hong caught the glimmer of fear in the Rat King's eyes, although it was subtle, and he was immediately delighted.

"Don't shoot it, just hold it like this and see if it dares to come!"

To be honest, even though he didn't have a head-on fight with the Rat King, judging from the wounds caused by the arrows shot by Zhao Long and the other two, his knife only injured its armpit.

There is a high probability that they cannot defeat the Rat King in his prime.

Although the Rat King was forced out and poisoned by Teng Jiao's poison, they were still unclear about the extent to which his strength had been affected. If they fought rashly, they would most likely suffer heavy losses.

To exaggerate a little, it is even possible that the entire army will be wiped out.

His legs were severely injured and he was also unable to exert his full strength. Judging from the size of this rat king and the red light it had just emitted, it was most likely a medium-sized cold beast that he had never encountered before.

God knows if it has any other abilities besides the red glow.

Besides, the group of rats had been forced to retreat, so there was no need for them to fight the Rat King to death. As long as they could force the other party to retreat safely, that would be the best outcome.

Kill the Rat King?

Xia Hong immediately gave up the idea. Among them, there were probably only six people at the Digging Realm who could hurt the Rat King. Luo Yuan was unconscious right now, so there was still one missing.

The arrows of the three Zhao Long brothers were all empty, and the arrows shot by the other lumberjacks were obviously wishful thinking in an attempt to hurt the Rat King.

The problem is, the Rat King doesn't know this.

The Rat King was unwilling to come out even after the rat group was slaughtered so hard; even when the rat group retreated later, the Rat King could not help but hide underground and launch a sneak attack on Xia Hong and others; even at this moment, after being forced out of the tree by Xia Hong, he did not take action immediately.

Just these three points are enough to show the character of this rat king.

To put it nicely, it's called being cautious; to put it bluntly, it's called being afraid of death.

If you are afraid of death and smart, then that’s easy!

Just as Xia Hong guessed, hundreds of people raised their bows at the same time, and the Rat King, who was targeted by so many iron arrows, had a ferocious expression on his face, but his feet did not move for a long time. Moreover, as the confusion in his eyes became more and more intense, his tail even stopped shaking.

It gave up the attack and was about to withdraw!

Even if Xia Hong didn't say anything at this moment, the others could understand what he meant. Everyone raised their bows and arrows and glared at the rat, as if they were ready to shoot the iron arrows in their hands at any time, and did not dare to make any movement.

“Squeak, squeak, squeak…”

"Squeak..."

“Squeak, squeak, squeak…”

…………

However, a sudden burst of squeaking sounds from the north cast a shadow over Xia Hong's heart, and a hint of despair appeared in his eyes.

Not only him, but also the other ninety-odd people, including Xia Chuan and others, were the same.

The more than 200 rats that had just entered the bamboo forest suddenly came out of the forest again with a rustling sound.

Although they came out in scattered directions, some of them were heading towards them.

How come this group of rats came out again!
At this moment, the Rat King's face was completely different from the hundreds of people in the Great Xia Camp, with a gloomy, cruel, and extremely complacent ferocious expression.

It seemed to have seen the fate of the people in front of it and was laughing.

However, the ferocity on the Rat King's face did not last for more than a few seconds.

The group of rats that scattered over from the north were clearly in a panic, and were in the same state as when they were just driven in by Xia Hong and others.

Whoosh…whoosh…whoosh…

Dozens of iron arrows came flying from the bamboo forest behind the group of rats.

This group of rats did not come here on their own; they were driven out by someone.

There is actually someone in the bamboo forest?
Everyone in the Daxia camp, including Xia Hong, was stunned for a moment. Then, when they heard several voices coming from the bamboo forest, they immediately showed expressions of ecstasy.

"Who drove these stinky rats into the woods? How wicked!"

"There are still a lot of iron arrows stuck in their bodies. They must be from other camps."

"The Beehive family should be the only ones around here. Are there any other camps?"

"The beehive is in Pingxiyuan, north of the bamboo forest. This should be someone else's."

………………

Dozens of figures slowly walked out of the arrow bamboo forest.

They all held strong bows and kept shooting at the fleeing rats as they walked. The difference from the people in the Daxia camp was that the arrows shot by these dozen people were extremely powerful and all of them were killed with one arrow, just like the three Zhao Long brothers before.

“Squeak, squeak, squeak…”

As soon as the dozen or so figures appeared, the Rat King immediately raised his head and uttered a few sounds.

After hearing the sound, the originally disorganized group of rats quickly gathered towards the east. Then the Rat King turned into a silver light and rushed straight into the middle of the rat group.

There were only about 200 rats left in the group, and they soon turned into a huge silver wave and rushed towards the depths of the mountains on the east side.

The Rat King actually escaped so easily...

At this point, Xia Hong's mind was at peace. He turned around and looked at the group of people walking out of the arrow bamboo forest. A look of gratitude first appeared on his face. Then he slowly took two steps forward, preparing to say thank you.

"There really are people here. Didn't Old Lu say that there is only one medium-sized camp called Rogge and several other small camps here?"

"There are so many bows and arrows. This doesn't look like a small or medium-sized camp!"

The group of people who walked out of the arrow bamboo forest apparently also discovered the people in the Daxia camp.

The information revealed by the words of the two people in the front made Xia Hong's expression slightly moved. He was about to introduce himself, but unexpectedly, another person on the other side spoke.

"Are you the ones who drove the rats into the bamboo forest?"

Hearing the obvious questioning and blaming in the other party's tone, and realizing that this was another group of difficult people to deal with, Xia Hong's expression suddenly darkened. He stood firm and moved his injured right foot back.

Then he realized something, signaled to Xia Chuan beside him with his eyes, and whispered two words to him.

"Torches!"

Xia Chuan understood what he meant and immediately took out a torch and lit it.
