Endless Winter: My Camp Infinite Upgrades

Chapter 127: The Arrogant Mirror Fairy Camp

There were fifteen people in total who walked out of the bamboo forest.

After seeing the appearance of the fifteen people clearly, no matter whether it was Xia Hong, Xia Chuan, Luo Yuan, or everyone else present, no matter what the expression on their faces was, their hearts all skipped a beat.

"Why are they all so young?"

"Moreover, they were all wearing animal skins."

Judging from their appearance, the fifteen people in front of them are about the same age as the brothers Xia Hong and Xia Chuan.

Although Xia Hong seldom mentioned his age, due to the spread of the earliest group of people in Daxia, everyone in the camp knew that he had just turned nineteen this year.

Xia Chuan is younger, just turned seventeen.

In a world like Bingyuan where the average life expectancy is only around forty years old, it is a well-known fact that the younger you are, the greater your potential.

Xia Hong is not only the strongest man in the camp right now, but judging from his age alone, his potential for advancement is unmatched in the entire camp.

Even Xia Chuan, who had learned the skills from the wooden puppet, could not compare to him.

And before them, the fifteen people who came out of the bamboo forest were all about the same age as the brothers Xia Hong and Xia Chuan.

Not only that, the fifteen people were not wearing animal skin skirts, but a complete set of clothes. Even the young man who was in the lead and had just questioned everyone was wearing an animal skin coat, which was golden brown in color. It was unknown what kind of cold beast it came from.

"I am Xia Hong, the leader of the Daxia Camp in Hongmu Ridge. It was indeed us who drove the group of rats into the bamboo forest just now. But as far as we know, there are no other human camps in the arrow bamboo forest. May I ask which camp are you from?"

As Xia Hong spoke, he also lit a torch, and then led Xia Chuan, Zhao Long and the other three who were also holding torches, and approached those people together.

If someone put their hand on his back at this moment, they would find that it was covered with cold sweat, and their body was shaking at an extremely slight frequency.

There’s no way, it hurts!

Although the sole of the foot that had just been pierced by the Rat King had been applied with Golden Wound Powder, it was not an ordinary wound after all, so it naturally would not recover so quickly.

"Summer?"

"The leader of the Digging Realm is so weak."

"There are quite a few people."

…………

Hearing some contemptuous ridicule coming from the opposite crowd, Xia Chuan and the other three who were holding torches immediately looked gloomy. However, Xia Hong himself did not feel anything and just quickly analyzed the information contained in the other party's words.

The other party had mentioned Old Lu before, and also knew about the Rogue Camp. If nothing unexpected happened, Lu He should have brought the entire Lu Shang Camp and merged it into the camp where these fifteen people were.

Fifteen Digging Realm warriors, each wearing ready-made clothes and carrying longbows, walked out of the arrow bamboo forest. Needless to say, the strength of this camp is very strong. However, what Xia Hong cares most about is the ridicule the other party just said to him.

The leader of the Digging Realm is really weak.

Combined with the casual tone of the people mentioned above when they mentioned the Beehive Camp, it is not difficult to guess that the camp where this group of people is located should have strong people above the cold-resistant level.

Large, giant, or more?

"Jingxian Camp, He Meng! Xia Hong... Leader, this bamboo forest has belonged to our camp three months ago. What do you mean by leading people to drive the rats in?"

The person who was speaking was estimated to be about two meters tall, and was a bit more muscular than Xia Hong. He was carrying a longbow and holding a broad-bladed sword.

As he spoke, he took a few steps forward. His voice was loud and there was a strong sense of oppression in his tone. When he mentioned Xia Hong, he obviously hesitated deliberately before adding the word "leader" at the end.

The fifteen people were less than ten meters away from Xia Hong. The leader Duan Meng was even closer, only five or six meters away. The firelight had already illuminated their faces.

Seeing that the fifteen people were illuminated by torches and did not show any abnormality, Xia Hong's heart was immediately relieved.

Don't be afraid of torches. As long as it has nothing to do with monsters, everything is fine.

It's no wonder that Xia Hong is cautious. According to Luo Ming, the Bingshuo trees mature every four months, and the cold beasts will all flock into the arrow bamboo forest during this period. This alone shows that there can be no human camp in the arrow bamboo forest.

These fifteen people appeared out of nowhere. Although one of them, He Meng, said that he occupied the Jianzhu Forest just three months ago, who knows whether it is true or not.

If you are not afraid of torches, then it is most likely not related to monsters.

Of course, it doesn’t mean that nothing happened.

He Meng's aggressive tone and the fierce look on his face, which was illuminated by the firelight, clearly showed that he was going to investigate the matter of them driving the group of rats into the bamboo forest.

"Since it was only returned to you three months ago, isn't it normal for Da Xia to be unaware of it? And it didn't cause any casualties to you, so why are you being so aggressive?"

Perhaps it was because He Meng and his group were too arrogant, Xia Chuan at the side couldn't help but stand up and say something.

However, after hearing his words, no one on the other side responded. The leader, He Meng, just glanced at him contemptuously, and then said nothing, continuing to stare at Xia Hong.

Xia Chuan's chest bulged slightly, and a hint of anger flashed across his face. The other party's attitude clearly showed that he felt he was not worthy of speaking and was only willing to talk to Xia Hong. How could he not know that?

Xia Hong stretched out his hand to stop Xia Chuan who wanted to continue speaking. His expression had become much gloomier. He stepped forward and asked in a deep voice: "It was an unintentional mistake. If you want to force the matter, then don't be so long-winded and just say it directly!"

He Meng raised his eyes slightly, realizing that Xia Hong might give in, his face showed even more contempt, he raised the broad-bladed sword in his hand, pointed at the dead rat on the ground behind him, and said in a rampant tone:
"Since you know you are at fault, the pile of rat meat on the ground is your apology to the Mirror Fairy Camp. Just get out of here!"

It turns out that he has set his eyes on this pile of rat meat.

Xia Hong's brows relaxed slightly. The other party's behavior, which was extremely consistent with human habits, not only did not make him angry, but instead made him completely relieved.

Of course, Xia Hong was relieved only because he had confirmed the other party's human identity once again, not that he thought the other party's request was reasonable.

But before he could say anything, Xia Chuan and Zhao Long beside him, and even all the lumberjacks in the Great Xia camp in the back, could not help themselves.

"You're dreaming!"

"We hunted them with great effort, why should we give them to you?"

"We have to sacrifice so many lives to get this prey. Are you going to give it all to you?"

"dream!"

"The lion has a big mouth and is shameless."

"Have you also been poisoned by Teng Jiao and are your minds confused?"………………

A conservative estimate is that there were forty or fifty dead rodents on the ground, and if you add the corpses on the slope of the mountain and those on the top of the slope, there were at least over eighty.

More than eighty preys were handed over to them without any hesitation. How could these fifteen people agree to it just by talking?

Xia Hong raised his right hand slightly, signaling everyone to be quiet, then stared at He Meng and his group for a few seconds with a malicious look on his face.

"Did you hear everything, Your Excellency?"

He Meng's face was already gloomy when the crowd let out that angry jeer. When he heard Xia Hong's question, not only he, but also the other fourteen people, looked even gloomier.

Although Xia Hong's words were a question.

But how could they not know what it meant?

The hundreds of people from Da Xia in the rear had already drawn their bows and arrows and aimed at them, as well as the five Digging Realm people in front, when Xia Hong raised his hand.

Xia Hong's words were not just a threat to them, but a clear way of telling them that the pile of prey on the ground belonged to Daxia, and no one could take it away!

"Captain Xia Hong, let me tell you bluntly, the strength of Great Xia is not enough to face my Mirror Fairy Camp. I advise you that you, Great Xia, cannot afford the consequences of being at odds with my Mirror Fairy Camp!"

He Meng seemed to want to add a sense of oppression to his words. As he spoke, he took a few steps forward, paused, and then raised his head and continued:
"How about this, we'll keep half of them. This is the bottom line. We'll pretend nothing happened. You guys can go now!"

Whoosh……

A streaking iron arrow suddenly struck him, responding to him.

He Meng suddenly retreated a few meters and looked at the iron arrow on the ground less than one meter away from where he had just stood. The expression on his face was instantly stiff because of the excessive force and it was still shaking.

"roll!"

Xia Hong almost shouted this word to the fifteen people.

As soon as he opened his mouth, Xia Chuan and others beside him, as well as the hundreds of people from Da Xia not far behind him, all followed immediately.

"roll!"

bass……

As everyone shouted "Get out", they raised their bows at the same time. The sounds of hundreds of iron arrows rubbing against the bows mixed together, and anyone who was not deaf could hear it clearly.

"Okay, Da Xia has guts, Xia Hong, right? My Jingxian Camp will remember this!"

When He Meng led his men to retreat, he only dared to take with him four or five dead bodies of rats along the way. The degree of his panic was in sharp contrast to his arrogant attitude just now.

"Hahahaha, that's all the courage I have."

"There are hundreds of bows. They are only at the Digging Stage at best. How can they be stronger than those rats?"

"Hahaha, I thought it was something amazing."

"He just ran away, hahaha!"

…………

Everyone in Da Xia present couldn't help but burst into laughter immediately.

Xia Hong continued to stand there calmly. Even when he saw that all fifteen people had entered the bamboo forest, his expression did not relax at all. After more than a minute, he turned around and spoke calmly to everyone:
"Begin collecting the prey. Also, be careful and collect all the scattered iron arrows that can be collected. Don't miss any!"

"Yes, leader!"

Everyone agreed upon hearing this, and happily began to pick up the dead rodents on the ground, as well as the iron arrows stuck in them and scattered on the ground.

Xia Chuan also picked up Luo Yuan from the ground again.

Xia Hong took a closer look and found that the bloody hole on Luo Yuan's shoulder had been coated with Golden Wound Powder, and his breath was gradually recovering. He felt relieved immediately.

"Brother, your feet..."

Seeing the bloody hole on Xia Hong's foot, Xia Chuan's face immediately showed worry, but before he could finish his words, Xia Hong interrupted him with his hand.

Seeing Xia Hong gently raise his hand and gesture towards the bamboo forest behind, Xia Chuan immediately understood, nodded slightly, and said nothing more.

"Pack up slowly, don't show any fear. Once you're done, have the others carry Luo Yuan first, and the five of us will cover the rear!"

"yes, Sir."

After a quiet conversation, Xia Chuan immediately asked someone to carry Luo Yuan, while he took a group of people to the top of the north slope to collect the prey there.

Although Xia Hong stood still, his eyes were fixed on the direction of the bamboo forest. He did not move until everyone had packed up the prey and the iron arrows.

"There are eighty-three gnats in total. The iron bows are intact, and the remaining iron arrows in everyone's hands, plus the ones that have been recycled, there are still more than 2100 arrows left. Two died, including Luo Yuan, and eight were seriously injured, all caused by the last red light of the Rat King. There are not many minor injuries, only a dozen people."

While collecting the prey, Xia Chuan also found out the number of iron arrows recovered and the casualties, and reported them all.

Xia Hong didn't say anything when he heard it, but just nodded. Seeing that most of the people were carrying a rat on their backs, which had been dealt with, he immediately spoke.

"Let's go back!"

More than a hundred people set out on their return journey.

Xia Hong, along with Xia Chuan and four others, hung behind the team.

"You four, stay away from the team and keep an eye on the back!"

"Understood, Chief!"

The four of them of course understood the purpose of Xia Hong's arrangement. They immediately dispersed to the rear of the team and became alert.

In the Ice Abyss world, the locations of the camps must be kept secret, especially when one's side is still very weak.

Xia Hong didn't dare to gamble, nor could he afford to gamble, on human nature in desperate situations.
