Endless Winter: My Camp Infinite Upgrades

Chapter 138 The Fearless Mirror Immortal [Three in One]

Snowmane can play dead, and does it very well.

This is nothing new.

Xia Hong really didn't expect that the hundreds of barbs on the back could be fired.

Dong dong dong......

The ground was shaking continuously from the footsteps of the fleeing Snow Mane, and in the flying snowflakes behind them were the figures of Xia Hong and his twelve companions chasing after them.

"It seems that the barbs on its back are its ultimate weapon. Fortunately, I mainly used the bow today, so this can be considered an accidental attack!"

While chasing quickly, Xia Hong turned his head to look at the wound on his shoulder, with a hint of relief in his eyes.

If he hadn't been so weak, he wouldn't have let the other fifteen people disperse and hide in the surrounding trees to hunt Snowmane with bows.

On the other hand, if everyone was stronger and were not afraid of confronting Snow Mane head-on, and adopted the method of close siege by more than a dozen people, then Snow Mane would not have waited until the last moment to attack him.

Although he was so far away from it and had jumped off the tree with everyone in advance, his shoulder was still scratched by a barb shot out by Snow Mane, leaving a wound as big as a palm.

"Why are there three people missing?"

Xia Hong turned around to see how seriously injured the others were, but he saw that there were only eight people following him, so he immediately asked.

Zhu Shun and Zou Yuankai were injured, so he left Qiu Peng and Ying Xuan to take care of them. There should be eleven people following him now, not just eight.

Xia Chuan panted and replied, "Zhao Long and the other two were worried that we would run out of arrows, so they stayed over there to collect arrows. They should be able to catch up soon."

Xia Hong nodded when he heard this, and a hint of approval suddenly appeared in his eyes.

They were now chasing Snowmane, and indeed they all only had bows on their backs, without arrows.

They had just hunted Snowmane and the fifteen of them had shot all their arrows. Although most of them were still stuck in Snowmane's body, there were still quite a few on the ground.

Ta-ta-ta-ta-ta......

"Chief, it's slowing down!"

As soon as Xue Zong's footsteps changed, Luo Yuan immediately spoke up to remind him.

Xia Hong looked up and saw Xue Zong running away. His body began to stagger, no longer running wildly as before, and a look of joy suddenly appeared on his face.

"We should go slower and just hang behind it. Be more cautious and don't get too close to it. Wait for Zhao Long and the other two to send arrows over."

Although he was 90% sure, Snowmane was already at the end of his strength.

But the previous scene still shocked Xia Hong a little. God knows if this Xue Zong has any other life-saving trump cards or tricks?
Still have to be cautious!
Although Xia Hong thought so in his heart, seeing that Xue Zong was still moving forward, he raised his head and glanced ahead, a trace of worry appeared on his face.

Just now, Snowmane escaped to the west, which is deeper into Redwood Ridge.

In just a short while, it had already led itself and others about three kilometers inside, and these three kilometers did not start from the outside.

Including the more than one kilometer before, the nine of them have now penetrated into the range of about four or five kilometers of Redwood Ridge.

"We can't go any further in there, or we'll attract other cold beasts and we'll be finished!"

At this moment, not only Xia Hong, but the others also discovered that the surrounding environment had become completely unfamiliar, the types of trees had become more diverse, and even in the area not far away, the figures of some huge creatures could be vaguely seen.

The environment here is obviously much quieter than the outside.

Apart from the noise made by Snowmane's escape and the sound of their footsteps following him, no other sound could be heard.

Everywhere I looked, there was shadow and darkness.

They had never set foot in this deep area of ​​Redwood Ridge.

Once an accident happens, the outcome is difficult to predict.

Xia Hong struggled in his heart. His mind told him that he should not continue chasing. However, his desire for the blood of the intermediate cold beast made him reluctant to abandon the seriously injured and dying Snow Mane.

"Captain, we're here!"

Fortunately, the three Zhao Long brothers arrived from behind at this time.

Not only did the three men arrive, but they also each held a bundle of iron arrows in their hands.

"Speed ​​up and catch it, don't let it run any further!"

Xia Hong's face was full of surprise, which was why he showed approval when he heard from Xia Chuan that Zhao Long and the other two were going to get the arrows.

As Snowmane fled in panic, he never thought that his arrows were gone.

I just thought that Snowmane was on the verge of death and I would be able to catch him in a short while.

If Zhao Long and the other two had not thought it through, they would have no choice but to continue following Xue Zong inside or risk their lives to stay, and either method would be fraught with danger.

On the one hand, most of the iron arrows were stuck in Xue Zong's body. On the other hand, time was short and the three of them probably didn't have time to search carefully. The number of iron arrows brought by Zhao Long and his two companions was only about sixty or seventy, which was not a large number.

But just sixty or seventy of them were enough to issue a final death ultimatum to the seriously injured Snowmane.

Whoosh…whoosh…whoosh…

Before shooting the arrows, the twelve people had already sped up and dispersed to both sides of Snowmane.

More than sixty iron arrows came rushing in from the big trees on both sides.

The target was all aimed at Snowmane’s head.

Snowmane's staggering figure was shot all over the place by the continuous iron arrows from both sides. His head, which was already full of iron arrows and severely injured, was shot so many times in a row that his walking posture began to become deformed and his huge body began to twitch and stop.

Finally, after staggering forward for more than twenty meters, Snowmane's vitality began to fade away at a faster rate, and an aura of decay gradually spread from its huge body.

boom…………

Finally, its limbs finally collapsed weakly.

The huge body fell to the ground with a loud bang.

"Finally dead!"

Xia Hong, who was on the tree, finally breathed a sigh of relief this time.

A part of Xuezong's head had been shot off by the continuous iron arrows. Not to mention the blood, even a lot of brain matter had flowed out.

Even if it plays dead again, there's no hope this time.

"Don't get close yet, I'll go up and take a look alone!"

Although it was almost certain, Xia Hong still adhered to the principle of caution and decided to go there alone to take a look first.

"No need, Chief. I'll just go and see."

But just as he finished speaking, before he could go out, Xia Chuan had already got there first.

"Why does the leader have to come and see it in person? I'll go."

"I'll do it."

…………

Even the other people scattered on both sides started fighting.

Everyone rushed forward to confirm for themselves, which immediately relaxed Xia Hong's tense nerves and brought a smile to his face.

"Just let Xiachuan go alone, and you all come with me and wait."

The behavior of the crowd is certainly heartwarming, but habits still need to be cultivated. If so many people rush forward together, it will be too late to regret if anything goes wrong in the future.

The eleven people did not have to wait long. About ten breaths later, Xia Chuan's voice with a hint of surprise came from beside Xue Zong's body.

"No problem, come here, it's already dead!"

Xia Hong jumped down from the tree and arrived first.

Looking at the huge corpse of Snowmane on the ground, Xia Hong's eyes were full of joy, and he felt that all the fatigue in his body was swept away in an instant.

Even the injury on his shoulder seemed to have eased a lot.

The other ten people also came over one after another.

"Wow, it's so big!"

"Hahahaha, a mid-level cold beast, nothing more than that!"

"This size is almost two or three times that of a low-level Snowmane."

"It's seven or eight meters long, so it must weigh four or five thousand kilograms of meat."

"I'm afraid it's more than that. Not only is its body length larger, but its legs and body are also several times larger than those of the lower levels. The amount of meat it produces must be astonishing."

"You'll know when you take it back."

"This is a mid-level cold beast. No one has ever hunted it in the camp at Redwood Ridge before, right? Leader, are we making history today?"

…………

Everyone gathered around Snowmane's body, their words filled with shock and surprise.

Not to mention, during the previous hunting process, except for Xia Hong who had a brief close contact with the snow-mane beast, the other fourteen people hid tens or even hundreds of meters away and attacked with bows and arrows.

They didn't realize it just now, but now that they were closer, they could truly feel what a huge monster the Snowmane they were hunting was.

"Okay, stop looking. Five of you will go with Xia Chuan and pull out all the arrows from its head. The other five will go chop down some trees and make some long wooden sticks. We will use the sticks to carry it back later!"

The ten people's exclamations of admiration only lasted for a moment. At Xia Hong's command, they immediately split into two groups and started to busy themselves with their own affairs.

"You can't stand its blood yet, so be careful when you draw the arrow, don't let it get on your skin."

In fact, there was no need for Xia Hong to remind him. Xia Chuan, who came first to confirm Xue Zong's death, was already drawing the arrow. Seeing his cautious movements, the others immediately followed suit, not daring to get any contact with the blood flowing out of Xue Zong's body.

hiss…………

Xia Hong sucked in a breath of cold air, touched his sore cheek, then looked down at his torn chest and arms, and immediately guessed that his face was probably now unrecognizable.

He didn't remind everyone for no reason. Just now, when he used the ceremonial knife to pierce Xue Zong's seven orifices madly at the pit, the blood that spurted out almost splashed all over him.

At that moment, a strong burning sensation surged into his mind, but the battle was fierce and his attention was all on Snowmane, so he didn't take it to heart at all.

As soon as a person relaxes at this moment, the pain immediately becomes more intense.

"If I hadn't increased my basic strength to the limit of 30,000 jin during the last period of time, I wouldn't have been able to kill this Snowmane, and the blood it splashed would have been enough to take half my life!"

Previously, when his basic strength was only more than 20,000 pounds, the temperature of the Rat King's blood could directly burn through his skin. Only with the help of the sun's cold light could he eliminate the burns and recover completely.

Now it has reached the limit of 30,000 kilograms. Although the blood still burns his skin and flesh, it does not hurt his internal bones and flesh. Moreover, the pain is lighter than the previous time.

Although the skin was torn and the appearance was miserable, it was also accompanied by intense pain.

But Xia Hong clearly felt that he could bear it, and in the process of bearing it, his membrane and basic strength were significantly improved.

"It just looks a little ugly, but it should recover soon..."

Fortunately, it was night time, and because the location was too deep, he didn't dare to let anyone light a fire. Everyone could only see that he was covered in blood. If they saw his horrific appearance with skin and flesh torn apart, they might misunderstand him as a ghost.

call…………

"Hurry up and clean up, we can't stay here for long."

Taking a deep breath, Xia Hong endured the severe pain in his body, urged everyone to speed up, and then he climbed a tree to observe the situation around him.

This is already an area four or five kilometers deep in the Redwood Ridge. Not only are the trees generally much thicker than those on the periphery, but there are also obviously many more species.

Three or four kilometers to the north, there is a huge cloud area, which is five or six hundred meters wide in the visual range alone; in the south, a towering tree with an unusually exaggerated diameter can be seen from afar, and on the tree, there are dozens of huge figures, each of which is not much different from the dead Snow Mane.

The foggy area in the north should be the territory of Teng Jiao, but the foggy area created by the low-level Teng Jiao is only fifty meters in radius.

Is this five or six hundred meters intermediate or advanced?

What is that giant tree in the south? A pack of snowmanes? Or a pack of frostwolves?
Judging from their size, there are most likely dozens of intermediate-level frosty beasts. If there are dozens of intermediate-level frosty beasts gathered together, there must be a high-level frosty beast leader...

Xia Hong withdrew his gaze, and at the same time he was shocked, he couldn't help but feel a little relieved.

The Snowmane just ran away, probably trying to avoid the territories of other cold beasts.

From this we can also see that there is a strict hierarchy among the cold beasts.

Even though Snowmane was seriously injured, his instinct made him not dare to enter the territory of other cold beasts.

"It's all packed, Chief."

Hearing Xia Chuan's shout from below, Xia Hong jumped down directly.

The quivers on everyone's backs were filled again; the snow-maned prey was tied to two long wooden sticks with ropes, and two people in front and back carried it together.

"Okay, let's go back!"

Xia Hong gave an order and took the lead to walk towards the eastern periphery.

Xia Chuan and Luo Yuan stood on both sides, Yue Feng and Yuan Cheng followed behind the team, and the three Zhao Long brothers walked directly on the trees. In the middle were four people carrying the prey.

They have been hunting for a long time, and the formation arrangement on the return trip has long become a routine.

There was no need for Xia Hong to say anything, everyone could do what they wanted.

The unfamiliar environment, coupled with the occasional panting and howling of unknown cold beasts, made Xia Hong almost run when he led everyone out. In a few minutes, they walked more than two miles to the east.

If we continue walking for another mile or two, we will reach the familiar outer area and will not be far from walking out of Redwood Ridge.

Xia Hong turned his head and looked behind him, then breathed a sigh of relief.

"Finally I can take a breath. It's so depressing staying in there!"

"Me too. It's too dark inside. We can't see any cold beasts, but we feel oppressive all around. The cold beasts inside should have their own territories. We are lucky we followed the snow-mane beast in. If we barged in recklessly, we would probably be dead in a minute."

Luo Yuan and Xia Chuan couldn't help but speak directly. They had just walked out of inside for a few minutes and they were both in a tense state the whole time, always feeling that something was staring at them in the shadows.

Although the others didn't say anything, the expressions on their faces showed that they were clearly not at ease during those few minutes.

"Don't talk, just keep walking, we'll be out soon!"

Xia Hong interrupted their discussion and led everyone to continue moving forward at a faster pace.

Whoosh……

Less than two hundred meters forward, suddenly, a swift arrow cut through the air, flew horizontally from left to right more than ten meters in front of Xia Hong's eyes, and directly hit a big tree on the right.

Crack…Bang…

Xia Hong looked a little nervous, but before he could react, he heard the sounds of trees breaking and falling down from his left side.

"Someone?"

"Be careful."

"It's the north."

"It's that tree. It's fallen."

…………

The noise made by the group walking was not loud, but the sound of the arrows breaking through the air was extremely clear. Before Xia Hong could speak, the others had already become alert.

Xia Hong had already turned his head to look to the left, which was the north side of Redwood Ridge, and his brows furrowed slightly.

To the north, about a hundred meters away.

After the big tree Xia Chuan mentioned fell, a huge monster about eight or nine meters long rolled down from the tree with a loud noise;
Arrows rained down from all directions, madly shooting at the giant creature;

At the same time, a figure holding a giant broadsword jumped down from the nearest tree and jumped directly onto the head of the huge monster.

"There are outsiders breaking in to hunt!"

"Is it the same group of people from last time?"

"It should be the people from Jingxian Camp."

"There's only them. There's no other camp besides them."

"You just walked in without even saying hello, huh!"

…………

It was obvious that there was a group of people who were hunting intermediate-level cold beasts just like them just now. How could Xia Chuan and others not understand this?

Everyone spoke up, with some anger in their tone.

After falling silent, everyone turned their eyes to Xia Hong, who had not said a word yet.

"Go over and have a look!"

Xia Hong naturally understood what everyone was thinking, and his face was a little gloomy. He didn't see anyone from the Jingxian camp just now on the outskirts, and thought they didn't cross the border.

Unexpectedly, the other party not only crossed the border, but even went deep into the two kilometers and started hunting directly here.

Xia Hong had long regarded Hongmu Ridge as Daxia's territory, and the resources therein were undoubtedly Daxia's forbidden delicacy.

The Jingxian Camp's direct act of crossing the line clearly shows that they do not take the Daxia Camp seriously at all.

"Put down the prey, Xia Chuan and Luo Yuan just follow me out, and the other nine people all find a good position first. I want to see how crazy this Mirror Fairy Camp can be!"

He chose to hunt at night; and just like himself and others, the other party also used bows to hunt; plus, when the man holding the broadsword fought with the behemoth, he basically used dodging and roundabout means.

Based on these three points alone, Xia Hong could roughly judge that the opponent's personnel configuration and strongest combat power should be similar to his own.

Xia Hong knew that Jingxian Camp had cold-resistant combat power.

But Xia Hong just couldn't believe that the Cold-Resistant Realm would hide in the dark and let these Digging Realm people fight the cold beasts when hunting is so risky.

Since the cold-resistant expert is not here, the opponent's strength is about the same as his, and he is being harassed by the cold beast. It would be a pity not to go up and deal with the people in Jingxian Camp with such a good opportunity.

Zhao Long led the other eight people to disperse and climb up the big tree directly. He set up a longbow in the shadow and aimed at the few people in Jingxian Camp whose positions had been exposed. Obviously, they all understood what Xia Hong meant.

Xia Hong, along with Xia Chuan and Luo Yuan, went straight over.

As they got closer, the three of them could see the true appearance of the huge monster.

It was a golden-eyed demon sheep that the three of them were very familiar with, except that its body was nearly nine meters long and its shoulder height was five or six meters. When it stood, it was as tall as a building. The white mane on its back hung down four or five meters on both sides, like two large gray curtains.

The most terrifying thing is its back, which has sixteen pairs of golden eyes as big as lanterns.

Five pairs of them had been shot by iron arrows, and blood was gushing out of them;
The other eleven pairs of archers continuously emitted dazzling golden light. Those lights were like sharp arrows, shooting at the man holding the broadsword and the other archers hiding in the surrounding trees.

The Golden Eyed Demon Sheep was so huge that it caused the ground around it to shake as it ran wildly. Its impact force was even greater than that of the Snow Mane just now, not to mention the surrounding trees.

In just a short while, more than ten large trees around were broken and knocked down by it, and there was not a single intact tree to be found within a radius of nearly 100 meters.

While seeing the golden-eyed demon sheep clearly, Xia Hong and the other two naturally also saw clearly the man who was fighting with it.

It was too far away to see his face clearly, but I could see that he was burly, dressed in black, and holding in both hands a giant broadsword that was about one and a half meters long and more than twenty centimeters wide.

Not only was the broadsword sharp, but its shape was also extremely exaggerated.

Most people probably can’t even lift it.

But in that person's hand, it was as light as a feather.

Swinging, blocking, chopping, smashing, and releasing, all with incredible fluidity.

What's even more rare is that he can use the potential energy of the broadsword to adjust his body, constantly circling around the demon sheep, and from time to time he can even use the sword to cut a few deep scars on the demon sheep.

Iron arrows from the surrounding trees kept shooting towards the demon sheep, and their target was the golden eye on its back. Moreover, one of the men shot arrows with extreme accuracy, and every time he shot the golden sheep's arrows when it tried to release strong light to suppress the man in black, he would catch it and shoot it accurately, preventing the golden sheep from releasing the strong light.

boom…………

The demon sheep seized an opportunity and swooped down. The man in black was caught off guard and could only raise his broadsword to block. As expected, he was lifted into the air along with his sword.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, the golden goat on the demon goat's back opened its eyes at the same time. It ignored the iron arrows shot from the trees in all directions, and directly shot out eleven strong golden lights at the man in black in the air.

Puff…Puff…

"Roar…………"

The sound of seven or eight iron arrows piercing eyeballs resounded throughout the venue, followed by the painful roar of the demon sheep.

However, Xia Hong's eyes were fixed on the man in black. He noticed a strong light shining through his abdomen and raised his eyebrows slightly.

"Brother, did you win?"

"Yes, the man in black must be injured, and seriously."

Xia Hong only raised his eyebrows slightly, but Xia Chuan and Luo Yuan beside him didn't have so many concerns. They showed joy on their faces and spoke to Xia Hong.

"Don't say anything yet, they are quite powerful, this demon sheep is dead!"

Although the demon sheep successfully injured the man in black, the eleven golden eyeballs on its back were all destroyed by a round of iron arrows.

“Roar… Roar… Roar…”

All sixteen golden eyes on its back were shot blind, and the demon sheep's last bit of ferocity seemed to be aroused. It leaped forward and roared with its head raised.

After the man in black in the distance landed on the ground, he had just torn off the cloth strip to bandage the wound on his abdomen when the demon sheep here rushed towards him.

"Boss!"

"Brothers, we can't let this beast get hurt."

"This evil beast is blind, and you are still afraid of its eggs!"

"Come on!"

…………

Several roars were heard from the surrounding trees. More than twenty people jumped down from the trees and rushed towards the demon sheep.

These twenty-plus people had bows on their backs, and it was obvious that the arrows just now were shot by these people. Each of them held a big knife in his hand, and they roared as they charged, exuding a brave and fearless temperament.

Of course, they are fast.

But the demon sheep is faster.

The man in black, whom they called the leader, obviously did not place his hopes on these twenty-something people. After bandaging his wounds, he raised his broadsword and dodged sideways.

The six sharp horns of this intermediate demon sheep are two to three meters long. When it charges forward, the range of its lateral attack is also astonishingly large.

The man in black is fast, but compared with the demon sheep, humans are inherently disadvantaged in size, not to mention that they are not as fast as it.

Pfft…………

Just as Xia Hong expected, the black-clothed man's left shoulder was directly pierced by one of the demon sheep's sharp horns, but the next scene was completely beyond Xia Hong's expectations.

The man in black was stabbed through the left shoulder. Without any hesitation, he grabbed the broadsword with both hands and sank down suddenly, bypassing the sharp horns of the demon sheep and reaching its neck.

Pfft…………

"This power is above me..."

Seeing the broadsword sinking more than half a meter into the demon sheep's neck, Xia Hong's pupils suddenly shrank and his heart was slightly startled.

He had just experienced the skeleton and skin of a mid-level cold beast. At such a close distance, if it wanted to pierce its neck, the force that would burst out instantly would be, he conservatively estimated, at least over 40,000 pounds.

Even with the help of the Changquan routine, he can currently unleash a maximum force of 36,000 kilograms.

The basic strength of this man in black must be above his own.

The demon sheep's neck was pierced by the broadsword, and the severe pain caused its body to stagger.

It tried to use its limbs to stabilize its body, but the twenty or so people who came down from the tree on the other side did not give it the chance.

The twenty people had clear division of labor. Ten of them went straight for its head, and the remaining ten or so were divided into five groups, attacking its limbs and tail respectively.

The demon sheep was too huge. The twenty or so people had just chopped it a few times when it was kicked away by its randomly bouncing limbs.

Bones were broken, blood was vomited, hands and feet were broken, the knife was kicked away, and the person flew backwards more than ten meters, some were even seriously injured and unconscious, and it was unknown whether they were dead or alive.

The fates of those twenty-something people were nothing more than these.

But what shocked Xia Hong and the other two was that, except for those who were unconscious and seriously injured and their life or death was unknown, the rest of the people who were able to move, without exception, all picked up their knives and rushed forward again.

They seem to have no fear of death at all.

More than 20 people took turns hacking and killing, and the man in black who was in the lead continued to inflict damage to the demon sheep's head with a broadsword. After more than a hundred breaths, the demon sheep's limbs finally began to tremble, and its body became weak and began to fall to the ground.

"Brothers, we are almost there. Hold on a little longer. This demon sheep will fall soon."

"It's worth it that I chopped him off more than ten times, and the blade is now bent."

"It's okay, just go back and grind it. Iron is nothing."

"Boss, how are you?"

Seeing the demon sheep staggering, the people who were still slashing with knives immediately started shouting and talking excitedly. Finally, there was one person who became concerned about the man in black and asked with a little concern.

"I'm fine. Let's all retreat. This demon sheep no longer has the strength to escape..."

Xia Hong, Xia Chuan and Luo Yuan, who had been watching from the sidelines for a long time, heard the man in black speak for the first time. The three of them were stunned and didn't even notice that the man in black paused before he finished speaking.

The voice of the man in black was surprisingly young.

No, it's too young.

Judging from his voice, he seems to be about the same age as Xia Chuan, only about sixteen or seventeen years old.

"Come with me first and welcome our friends from Da Xia!"

The three people on the big tree were a little stunned, and their expressions changed slightly when they heard the black-clothed man's next words.

I was actually discovered by this person.

Since they were discovered, the three of them no longer hid and jumped down from the tree directly.

Xia Hong looked depressed, and walked slowly forward with the two of them. He stopped only when they were only ten meters away from each other.

"You brought so many people with you to trespass into our Great Xia territory and come in to hunt privately. I, Xia Hong, don't deserve to be called a friend!"
