[Territory population: 1096]

【资源：木0煤0铁0银0金0】

On the third day of February in the first year of the Great Xia Dynasty, two days later, Xia Hong woke up from his bed, clenched his fists, and felt the substantial increase in his basic strength, his face full of joy.

But then, when he looked at the progress of the membrane in his system and saw that it had only increased by three points, the joy on his face suddenly disappeared and he became distressed.

“More than 35,000. After using up these 130 kilograms, the increase in basic strength will be about 3,000 kilograms, which is a little higher than last time.

But the basic progress only increased by 3%, which means that it would take 50 kilograms of cold beast blood to increase the progress a little.

Then I think to complete the entire membrane reconstruction process, at least 4,700 kilograms will be needed, which means I will have to hunt down at least 80 intermediate-level frigid beasts!"

When Xia Hong came to the number of eighty, he was a little confused.

Last night, he woke up three times.

When he woke up for the first time, his resources had been exhausted. He did not dare to use so much at once and only used 40 kilograms. As a result, he fainted again.

The second time he woke up, he was a little afraid to use 40 kilograms, so he only used 35 kilograms. As expected, he still fainted from the pain.

Just as he estimated, only when his nerves reach the pain tolerance limit will the system deduct resources to help him get through that period. For the rest of the time, as long as the pain does not cause a devastating blow to his body, the system will not take action even if he is in excruciating pain.

When he woke up for the third time and used up the last bit of the beast's blood, he went straight to bed and fell asleep.

"I fainted three times, and only gained three points. The beast blood is gone. How long will it take to hunt eighty intermediate-level cold beasts? How can the process of reshaping the membrane be so difficult? The difficulty of breaking through to the cold-resistant level is simply a bit outrageous..."

Xia Hong frowned. Although the increase in basic strength was very tempting, the difficulty was really too high and a bit outrageous.

"A little progress can increase my basic strength by about 1200 to 1300 kilograms. After completing the entire membrane remodeling process, my basic strength will be at least over kilograms. This must be a humanoid Tyrannosaurus Rex..."

Fifteen thousand pounds is still basic strength.

The maximum impact force generated by the intermediate snow mane when it goes berserk is only 100,000 pounds.

This means that any strong man at the cold-resistant level, even if he does not have any weapons in his hands, is enough to crush a mid-level snow mane with his physical strength alone.

"Eighty heads means eighty heads. We must speed up the process!"

Although Xia Hong has not personally verified the strength of a cold-resistant master, he can roughly guess it based on his current progress in cultivation.

There are two such powerful people in Jingxian Camp.

"Slow down for a while, save some resources, upgrade the wooden man, and see if it can bring any new surprises!"

The strength of the Cold-Resistant Class is likely to be far beyond imagination.

While coming to this conclusion, Xia Hong also knew that he would definitely not be able to make a breakthrough in a short period of time.

Then we can only prioritize upgrading the wooden man.

Judging from the two experiences of absorbing the blood of cold beasts, the role of resources in this process is actually to test the limits of one's will, or it can help oneself exercise willpower and improve one's ability to withstand the blood of cold beasts.

The current test result is 42 kilograms. In this case, let's start with 40 kilograms. This way the progress is actually not slow.

It took him two days to use up the 130 kilograms, which means that according to his current endurance, the blood of a mid-level cold beast would be enough in one day.

"We had planned to hunt once every three days. So, I have to hunt at least three mid-level frigid beasts every time I go out to keep up with my needs..."

Xia Hong frowned. Based on his last experience, hunting three intermediate-level cold beasts in one night was extreme, but not impossible. He just needed to set a few more traps.

The question is, are there that many intermediate snowmanes in the area they are currently in?

"It's useless to think so much. What if there are so many snow-manes? If they are really killed to extinction, then we can go a little deeper. If that doesn't work, then we can just hunt other cold beasts!"

Xia Hong made up his mind and stopped hesitating. It had only been two days since his last hunting trip and the next time he would go out was tomorrow. This day could not be wasted.

He took his chisel and went to the mine to mine iron.

Of course, it wasn't just him. Xia Chuan, Luo Yuan and others had already started digging in the mine.

Seeing Xia Hong come in, everyone knew that he had already absorbed the 130 kilograms of beast blood, and curiosity immediately appeared on their faces.

What people are curious about, of course, is how much Xia Hong's strength has increased.

Xia Hong didn't explain, he just picked up the chisel and started mining.

Everyone's curiosity was satisfied by the super high mining efficiency displayed by Xia Hong.

The improvement of basic strength is accompanied by the improvement of various physical qualities. What mining values ​​most is the body's carrying capacity and endurance.

When you just break through to the digging realm, using an ordinary sheep horn chisel, the daily mining output is generally about 100 kilograms. Using a toothed chisel, the output can be quadrupled to 400 kilograms.

Of course, except for Xia Hong, the fifteen digging masters in the camp have not just broken through. The amount of mining they do with their toothed chisels can reach more than five hundred per day.

Xia Hong's mining efficiency was even more terrifying. Earlier, it was about twice as much as theirs, and he could produce more than 900 kilograms a day.

And this time, after using up the cold beast blood for the second time, Xia Hong mined more than 1400 kilograms of iron ore in front of them in one day.

The next day, when everyone followed Xia Hong out of the mine, they all had numbness on their faces. After Xia Hong explained that they were going out hunting tonight and went upstairs, everyone immediately burst into heated discussions.

"Three times, the leader's basic strength is almost 40000 jin, right?"

"I guess it's not here yet, but it's almost there!"

"It takes three of us to match the mining output of just one of him!"

"I'm already at the Digging Realm, but why do I feel like I'm still at the Woodcutting Realm in front of the leader?"

"Don't mention it, I feel the same way!"

"The leader hasn't broken through yet. If he breaks through to the cold-resistant level, we probably won't be able to withstand even a single punch from him, right?"

"Can you bear it now?"

…………

Luo Yuan's last question made everyone silent.

They recalled the last time they hunted the intermediate Snowmane, Xia Hong jumped down from the tree with an axe. Judging from the power that axe unleashed, none of them dared to say that they could catch it.

"We need to work harder. It doesn't matter if we can't catch up with the leader, but at least we have to be able to help. If the distance is too large, the leader will probably not need us anymore!"

After saying this, Luo Yuan went straight upstairs.

After the others pondered for a moment, their expressions gradually became firm, and they all went upstairs to rest and recharge their batteries for the night's hunting trip.

…………

On the fourth day of February, Xia Hong led the team out hunting again.

In order to meet the needs of the next three days of improvement, Xia Hong spent a whole night and finally successfully hunted the third Snow Mane when there was only one hour left before dawn.

After hunting three intermediate Snowmanes in one night, both Xia Hong and the other fourteen members of the hunting team were almost exhausted.

Despite this, there was more excitement in everyone's eyes.

First of all, the feeling of breaking through limits is exciting.

Secondly, they all knew that Xia Hong had a large gap in the blood of cold beasts. The more efficient it was to hunt intermediate cold beasts, the more blood of cold beasts he would obtain. At the same time, it also meant that Xia Hong could break through to the cold-resistant level faster.

The three cold beasts lost a total of more than 170 kilograms of blood.

Xia Hong once again began the process of reshaping the membrane, but this time due to resource limitations, he did not use it beyond the limit, but instead stuck to around 30 kilograms. Even with this control, he still fainted from the pain several times.

In the following period of time, Xia Hong led the team to hunt once every three days, and brought back three intermediate snowmanes each time. After returning, he directly took their blood for use. This continued for five times. As soon as Zou Yuankai's injury healed, he immediately returned to the hunting team and moved with everyone.

…………

February 19th, the first year of Daxia

The hunting team once again brought back three intermediate-level snowmanes.

Faced with this huge beast, everyone in the camp was no longer surprised. After all, they had brought back nearly twenty of the same prey during this period.

Xia Hong went upstairs directly as usual, while Xia Chuan took the prey to the camp to prepare for bleeding.

The rest of the hunting team members who were injured hurried back to apply medicine to heal their wounds, while those who were not injured went directly to the mine as it was still early.

【资源：木48212煤1020铁13210银0金0】

Xia Hong upstairs did not wait for the blood of the cold beast as usual, but first checked the resources that had been stockpiled in the system recently.

From the fourth day of February to now, it has been only fifteen days in total.

So many resources were accumulated in just fifteen days, which shows how crazy everyone in the camp was in collecting in the past half month.

Not to mention the logging area, the number of people is constantly increasing, and the tools are constantly improving. Currently, there are more than 300 people, and they can collect almost 3,000 points of wood resources a day. After half a month, there are more than 48,000 points, which is not an exaggeration.

Mainly those in the Digging Realm, in the past half month, Xia Hong had taken them out hunting five times in total. It was impossible to go mining during the day before and after the outing, so strictly speaking, they only had ten days to mine.

Their current mining efficiency is about 7500 kilograms of iron ore and more than 12000 kilograms of coal per day, which is converted into the system equivalent of 750 points and 600 points respectively.

In order to upgrade the wooden man as soon as possible, Xia Hong only arranged two days of coal mining in the past ten days, and the remaining eight days were for iron mining.

You know, he has been practicing all this time. Except for mining some iron ore on the first day, he has not been to the mining area for the rest of the time.

In eight days, even if they work hard, these fifteen people can only mine 11250 points at most. It will fluctuate up or down, and it will never exceed 12000.

But now there are 13210 iron resources in the system.

Apparently, sometimes after returning from hunting, some people didn’t even have time to rest, but rushed to mine.

After just a moment's thought, Xia Hong knew what was going on. He realized that everyone wanted to help him break through as soon as possible, and a warm feeling immediately flashed through his heart.

Although the process of reshaping the membrane was very painful, Xia Hong always gritted his teeth and persevered without slacking off for a moment.

First, he enjoyed the improvement after the pain;

Secondly, breaking through to the cold-resistant level is not just his own thing.

During this period, the loggers, diggers, and even ordinary people who stayed in the camp, all worked hard and forgot to eat and sleep to collect resources for his breakthrough.

It can be said that the eyes of more than a thousand people were focused on him.

Everyone was holding their breath, waiting for him to break through.

He had no reason to retreat, let alone be lazy.

Of course, the rewards after persistence are also huge:
[Cultivation: Digging the Ground Perfected (Membrane Remodeling Progress 20%)]

In the first four times, the total amount of cold beast blood harvested was more than 730 kilograms. After it was all used up, the progress increased by percentage points.

"The basic strength is already close to 23. If I use the blood of the cold beast I brought back tonight, the progress will be about 24 to , and the basic strength will be able to reach !"

The improvement during this period is certainly gratifying, but it is also a fact that there is still a long way to go before breaking through the cold-resistant level.

More than seventy percentage points, at the current rate, I will have to go out at least twenty times, that is, it will take another two months.

"I haven't been to the north for more than half a month. If nothing unexpected happens, the people in the Jingxian camp must be hunting recklessly over there. I have to go over there to take a look. Otherwise, if time goes on for a long time, they will really treat that place as their own!"

In the previous five hunts, Xia Hong deliberately avoided the territory of Lu Shang's camp. The reason was that he didn't want to encounter Jingxian's camp so early.

But it’s not a good idea to keep avoiding like this.

Some things will become facts over time.

If someone ignores Jingxian's camp, the other party will take Daxia even less seriously. One day they might explore southwards and start to seize more of Daxia's territory and resources.

The best hope is that the Mirror Fairy Camp has listened to my warning and has not come to Redwood Ridge during this period of time, but this possibility is not very high...

It has been more than half a month, and Xia Hong can no longer lead the team to avoid them. He must go to the north and declare the sovereignty of Daxia again.

"Of course, you must be fully prepared before you go..."

Xia Hong said to himself and looked up at the left side of the room.

The wooden man is standing motionless on the wall. Upgrade conditions: 3000 wood 6000 iron

As soon as Xia Hong's mind moved, some of the system resources disappeared immediately.

【资源：木45212煤1020铁7210银0金0】

At the same time, the wooden man in front of him was also changing.

The ground where the wooden man stood, an area about ten meters square, suddenly burst into light, and then the light disappeared. The ground had turned black, and was covered with many mysterious cloud patterns.

On the ground, the wooden man that was originally standing on one leg is now standing on two legs, and its color has changed from yellow to black. It is obvious that the material has changed from wood to metal.

It is still two meters tall, with a hollow belly and all the facial features. The only difference from the original is that the smile is gone and the expression has become very serious.

Not only that, after a while, the wooden man shook gently, and four wooden men exactly like himself evolved in front, behind, left and right.

When Xia Hong saw the black cloud-patterned ground and the five wooden men, he was very surprised and hurriedly checked the properties of the wooden men after the upgrade.

Martial Arts Training Ground (Level 2): ​​A training ground of square meters that can greatly increase the speed of training, increase martial arts comprehension, and comes with five wooden dummies.

Special function 1: The wooden man can record the species of cold beasts through blood essence, transform into any cold beast, and exert the strength of an adult cold beast.

Special function 2: Activate the wooden man within the radiation range of the iron furnace, and he will obey orders and fight autonomously.

Special function 3: When practicing in the martial arts training ground, the basic strength improvement efficiency is doubled (only applies to those who have reached the level of Digging Realm Perfection or below)
Special function 4: You can practice with a wooden dummy, and the efficiency of martial arts perception is doubled (only works for those who have reached the perfect level of Digging Realm or above)
Training ground consumption: 20 coal per hour
Wooden Dummy Consumption: 5 coals per hour
Upgrade conditions: 100000 wood, 30000 iron, 200 silver

After browsing the properties of the entire martial arts training ground, Xia Hong became excited.

Especially when he saw special feature 3, he couldn't stop smiling.

The wooden man actually had the effect of improving training efficiency and enhancing martial arts comprehension.

But the problem is that there is only one of them and it cannot be used on a large scale by everyone.

Moreover, 5 points of coal resources are consumed every hour, which means 120 points of coal resources are consumed every day, which is equivalent to 2400 kilograms of coal stone, which accounts for one-fifth of the current daily mining volume of the camp.

It is impossible for the Diggers to go out to dig coal every day, and there are many other places in the camp that use coal, such as medicine decoction pots and iron smelting furnaces, which are big coal consumers.

So before, apart from selecting the first batch of hunting team members, Xia Hong used the wooden man once, and didn't use it much most of the time.

"It's different now. This 100-square-meter martial arts training area has the function of increasing the speed of training and can accommodate dozens of people at a time. The only drawback is that the consumption is a bit high..."

20 points of coal resources per hour means 480 points per day, which is equivalent to 9600 kilograms of coal stone, which accounts for four-fifths of the day's production.

Although the consumption is huge, Xia Hong only thought about it for a moment and realized that compared with the rewards it brings, this consumption is not much at all.

What Xia Hong values ​​most in this upgrade is the doubling indicator.

The previous level one wooden man was said to increase the speed of cultivation, but the description given was only a great deal. Xia Hong had tried it himself, and it was indeed a great deal in the logging realm, but when it came to the digging realm, the greater the basic strength, the smaller the improvement would be.

The consumption is large; it can only be used by one person; and the improvement will decrease.

This was the reason why Xia Hong was reluctant to use the wooden man to improve the cultivation of other people in the camp before, but it is different now.

"The improvement in cultivation speed has been specifically quantified as a doubling of the target. In this way, as long as you are a member of Da Xia, breaking through the logging realm is no longer a problem. The speed of breaking through the digging realm will also increase rapidly. In this way, the subsequent resource extraction volume will become higher and higher. This consumption is insignificant!"

Xia Hong walked into the martial arts training area with excitement, looked around, and then his mind moved slightly and a smile suddenly appeared on his face.

"It can be moved at will. One hundred square meters is just right for the main hall on the third floor. It is usually used for the cultivation of those in the Woodcutting Realm and Digging Realm!"

Of course, not free.

A gleam of light flashed in Xia Hong's eyes. This martial arts training ground can only accommodate hundreds of people at most at a time, and the coal consumption is so high, it cannot be allowed to be used by the people in the camp for free.

If you want to use it, you must exchange it for contribution points!
The specific pricing will be studied by Xia Chuan and others. Xia Hong will certainly not care about these things. His gaze finally stopped on the five wooden dummies, and gradually a strong sense of passion emerged.

"With five intermediate-level cold beasts that obey orders and are not afraid of pain, the base should be completely safe now. Even if the two cold-resistant masters from the Mirror Fairy Camp come together, it shouldn't be a big problem..."

The safety of the base is finally guaranteed!

Xia Hong looked at the five wooden dummies and couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief.

According to his current progress, the basic strength of a cold-resistant expert is at most around 150,000 pounds. One or two intermediate-level cold beasts will definitely not pose any threat to them.

But what about five heads?

Moreover, these five beasts completely ignored the pain, and their materials were harder than real cold beasts. More importantly, they completely obeyed their orders and would not hesitate to die.

"It's a pity that I can't take it out hunting. If I could..."

When this thought popped into his mind, Xia Hong immediately chuckled and shook his head.

He couldn't afford the risk of running around with the iron furnace and the entire camp's people, and who knows what would happen.

It’s better to be honest.

"Of course, since the safety of the base is guaranteed, we can go to the north to see if the people from the Jingxian camp have crossed the border!"

It was daytime outside. As soon as Xia Hong opened the window, the cold wind swept the frost and snow into the house.

Through the frost and snow, he glanced at the north side of Redwood Ridge, and a cold light flashed in his eyes.

…………

February 20th, the first year of Daxia
After receiving the order, Xia Chuan went up to the third floor and visited Xia Hong's room.

After going downstairs, Xia Chuan immediately gathered everyone in the camp and excitedly announced that a new item that could be exchanged had been added to the camp supply center.

"The training time of the martial arts training ground on the third floor is 20 contribution points for one day. If people are gathered to redeem, the martial arts training ground will be open for one day."

At first, when Xia Chuan made the announcement, everyone was a little confused.

What is a martial arts training ground?
It costs 20 contribution points to practice for one day. What is the use of it?

Faced with everyone's confusion, Xia Chuan did not explain, but directly took all the members of the hunting team, selected 35 people with the highest basic strength, plus himself, a total of 50 people, and went to the third floor together to stay for a day.

No one knows what happened on the third floor that day.

All everyone knew was that everyone who came down from the third floor, including Xia Chuan, had an expression of excitement on their face.

After inquiring, everyone in the camp was instantly excited...

"The leader has built a new training ground on the third floor. As long as you practice in the training ground, the efficiency of absorbing cold beast meat can be doubled!"

"One time, it is indeed one time. The people in the hunting team have confirmed that as long as we go up, we can double the speed."

"Cheng Feng, Lin Kai, and Xu Ning broke through the Digging Realm on the day they went up to the third floor. This must be true. I must go up there too!"

"20 contribution points can be exchanged for one day, so I must go. I am not far from the Digging Realm. As long as I stay there for a few days, I will definitely be able to break through."

…………

Don't underestimate those who have practiced cultivation and their obsession with increasing strength.

Even now, the camp already has many items that can be exchanged, such as wooden products, animal leather products, ironware, weapons...but the most popular resource in Daxia is undoubtedly the meat of cold beasts.

Because everyone knows that no matter how good, useful, or beautiful other things are, they are not as real as improving one's own strength.

Strength is the cornerstone of everything. Without strength, even if you are given the best treasure, it will be a castle in the air and will shatter at the slightest touch.

And now, the martial arts training ground can help them double their training speed.

You can imagine the madness of the crowd.

The next day was February 21st.

As soon as it got dark, a long line formed at the entrance of the camp supply center.

There was no need to gather fifty people at all. Most of the people Xia Chuan brought up yesterday had already occupied the front row, and only a few smart ones grabbed the first fifty spots.

Those who came later knew that it was not their turn this time, and they all showed regret on their faces. They secretly made up their minds to line up early next time.

After Shi Ping finished registering, all fifty people followed Xia Chuan to the third floor.

The moment they walked onto the black cloud-patterned ground, all the people who had been here yesterday showed satisfied smiles on their faces and began to eat the cold beast meat that had been prepared long ago;

As for those who came for the first time, they also began to practice in the same way. When they realized that their basic strength was growing faster than usual, their pupils suddenly contracted and looks of ecstasy appeared on their faces.

………………

"Twenty contribution points equals 400 kilograms of coal to be mined. If fifty people work together, that's 20000 kilograms. Isn't your price a bit high?"

Xia Hong, who was separated from the martial arts training ground by a wall, sat on a chair and looked through the wooden window facing the hall at the fifty people with a strange expression.

According to the current rules, the contribution obtained from coal mining and iron mining is the same as the system conversion unit, that is, one point for every 20 kilograms of coal and one point for every 10 kilograms of iron.

The martial arts training ground consumes 9600 kilograms of coal a day, which is equivalent to 480 points of coal resources. If it is evenly distributed among 10 people, the consumption of training in the martial arts training ground for a day should be less than points per person.

But Xia Chuan set it at 20 points, which was doubled.

Even Xia Hong couldn't help but feel that this was a bit dark-hearted...

Hearing the ridicule in Xia Hong's tone, Xia Chuan chuckled, then straightened his expression and shook his head, saying, "It's not that bad. Except for the members of the hunting team, none of these people have the ability to mine. They all rely on logging and gathering to obtain contribution points. The contribution points in the hands of these people are already inflated.

Moreover, the speed of cultivation is doubled. Such an opportunity can be obtained simply by going out to cut wood. I think 20 points is too low.

If it’s higher, I think they’ll fight over it.”

After hearing this, Xia Hong thought for a moment and chuckled a few times.

That's right, they are definitely not black-hearted. Doubling the speed of cultivation is a miracle and a unique ability that they cannot obtain even if they beg for it. Thinking about it this way, 20 contribution points are really nothing.

"But we can't delay the collection of resources in the camp. I plan to open it every three days. If there are too many people, we have to raise the price or even bid. We can't have 50 people practicing every day. We don't have the conditions for this at the moment..."

Xia Chuan's thoughts were obviously more far-reaching than his own, and he had already begun to think about the details of the arrangements for the training ground.

"Just go and do it..."

Seeing that he had made such a thoughtful arrangement, Xia Hong did not say anything more. Instead, he thought of something and continued to ask, "Have you prepared the two sets of weapons?"

"Luo Yuan and Yuan Cheng didn't come today, so they stayed in the blacksmith room to forge. It should only take a day and it will be almost done."

Xia Hong nodded, feeling slightly excited.

The martial arts training ground was opened for the first time yesterday, and unexpectedly there was a big surprise.

Cheng Feng, Lin Kai, and Xu Ning all broke through the digging realm within one day.

Xia Hong was not surprised by Cheng Feng's breakthrough. He was the oldest member of the Rogue Camp and his basic strength was already among the best. Xu Ning and Lin Kai were the ones who surprised him the most.

Especially Xu Ning. Apparently, after losing his right eye, he did not give up on himself, but became more diligent. Otherwise, he would not have broken through to the Digging Realm so quickly.

Cheng Feng is the captain of the gathering team. There is no other suitable candidate for the time being, so it is not convenient for Xia Hong to recruit him into the hunting team; as for Lin Kai and Xu Ning, there is nothing to say.

The two new members must be equipped with new weapons.

The current standard equipment of the hunting team is a broadsword, a ten-stone iron-framed bow and fifty seven-jin special iron arrows.

The benefits of the Digging Realm have gradually become apparent.

Now, unless there are special circumstances, he doesn't need to do mining, forging, or even hunting low-level cold beasts personally.

"Brother, are we going out hunting as usual tomorrow?"

The last hunt was on the 19th, and previously it was scheduled to be every three days, so tomorrow is the 22nd. Plus, Xia Hong specifically asked Lin Kai and Xu Ning about their weapons, so Xia Chuan naturally guessed his plan easily.

But obviously, he guessed wrong.

Xia Hong shook his head and said in a deep voice: "Not necessarily tomorrow. Let's go to the north of Hongmu Ridge to check the situation first. If the opportunity is right, we can talk about it later!"

Check out the situation north of Redwood Ridge.

Xia Chuan understood what he meant as soon as he heard it. He nodded slightly, with a few cold lights in his eyes.

During this period, when Xia Hong took them hunting, he deliberately did not go to the northern area. They all knew the reason very well.

"I hope the people in Jingxian Camp can behave themselves a little better!"

Xia Hong murmured in a deep voice, with a hint of fierceness in his pupils.

(End of this chapter)
