Endless Winter: My Camp Infinite Upgrades

Chapter 152: The Ultimate Battle Body, Dangerous Gao Yu [Please Vote]

The process of reshaping your own membrane is likely to be different from that of other people.

Xia Hong had already had this guess in his mind.

Judging from the current situation, the strength of humans' cold-resistance level is probably only comparable to that of mid-level cold beasts.

Just to break through one level of cold resistance, one needs the blood of hundreds of intermediate-level cold beasts.

No matter how you look at it, this seems unreasonable.

After fighting with Yuwen Hu, this speculation was confirmed.

The difficulty of reshaping your own membrane is indeed different from that of others.

But Xia Hong still didn't expect the difference to be so huge.

According to Gao Yu, when the basic strength reaches the limit of 30,000 jin, the stage of reshaping the membrane can only increase it by 20,000 jin at most. When it reaches the limit of 50,000 jin, that is, the membrane of the whole body is perfect and reaches the state of no leakage, breaking through to the cold-resistant level, the strength will double again.

That is one hundred thousand jin, which is collectively referred to as "the power of one mane" by humans in the Ice Abyss world.

Therefore, the standard for the cold-resistance level is the power of one mane.

Of course, this is the ordinary cold-resistant level!
Just like different kinds of cold beasts have different upper limits of strength, there are also a group of gifted people among humans whose skin's ability to withstand pain and animal blood is much higher than that of ordinary people.

The stage of skin membrane remodeling for this group of people will be longer than that of ordinary people, and they can absorb several times or even dozens of times more cold beast blood than ordinary people.

The so-called fighting posture refers to the unique physique of this group of people.

The price paid is greater, so naturally, at this stage, the upper limit of strength improvement for those with combat body talent will be higher.

Generally speaking, combat physique is divided into three levels: upper, middle and lower.

The strength limit during the membrane remodeling phase is used as the benchmark.

One hundred thousand catties is top quality; eighty thousand catties is medium quality; sixty thousand catties is bottom quality.

The strength at the membrane stage can reach 100,000 jin. Once you cultivate an impeccable body and officially break through to the cold-resistant level, your strength will double, and your basic strength will soar to 200,000 jin, which is the strength of two manes.

By analogy, even the lowest-grade combat body, when breaking through the cold-resistant level, has a strength of up to 120,000 jin, which is 20% higher than the ordinary cold-resistant level.

Twenty percent of power is enough to decide many things.

“Of course, these strengths are not obtained out of thin air.

In the Ice Abyss world, time is equivalent to life. Those who have combat bodies have to absorb more blood of cold beasts. In order to save time to break through to the cold-resistant level, they often use the blood of beasts beyond the upper limit.

For a normal person, using two or three kilograms at a time is almost the limit.

Those with stronger willpower can only weigh three to five kilograms at most.

And they start with at least five kilograms, and the highest is ten kilograms. The pain they have to endure is far beyond the imagination of ordinary people, and there are many who have died directly in the process of using animal blood. "

As soon as Gao Yu finished speaking, the entire main hall on the first floor fell silent.

It was at this moment that the fear in Xia Hong's eyes arose.

Of course, the fear only lasted for a while.

What he felt more in his heart was excitement.

It was at this moment that all seventeen members of the hunting team turned their heads to look at Xia Hong. The expressions on their faces changed from shock at first to horror, and then to excitement at last.

"Ten jin? Big brother always uses more than a hundred jin, sometimes even two hundred or three hundred jin!"

"The amount the leader uses each time is at least over a hundred kilograms!"

…………

Xia Chuan, Luo Yuan, Yuan Cheng, Yue Feng, and all the members of the hunting team, how could they not be excited at this moment.

According to Gao Yu, the greater the usage, the greater the improvement, and correspondingly, the higher the potential will be. After breaking through the cold-resistant level, the strength will definitely be stronger.

“No wonder the leader didn’t say anything when I asked him if he had a breakthrough just now!”

Recalling that after Xia Hong defeated Yuwen Hu, Xia Hong remained silent in response to his questions, Luo Yuan suddenly realized.

Xia Hong never broke through the cold-resistant level.

Not only him, but also Xia Chuan beside him and a few other people who reacted quickly, all remembered it immediately.

Even before he broke through, his strength was comparable to that of Yuwen Hu.

Once there is a breakthrough, how strong will the leader be?
They all turned to look at Xia Hong, their eyes full of admiration and fanaticism.

This is what everyone was thinking, let alone Xia Hong, the person involved.

The upper limit of a top-grade combat body is only 100,000 jin.

But his current strength is close to 31 pounds, and he has only made progress!

According to conservative estimates, once I complete the membrane remodeling stage, my basic strength can be raised to at least 150,000 kilograms, and if I break through, it will double to 300,000 kilograms.

The power of three manes!

It has more power than a superior combat body.

Then what kind of combat body is this?
Above the best, are there any top-grade ones, or even better physiques...

Xia Hong suppressed his excitement and the desire to ask questions. After calming down, he gave Xia Chuan and others a look that said "don't say anything".

When everyone received his gaze, they immediately understood what he meant, put away their excited expressions, and their faces all calmed down.

No matter how polite Gao Yu was, he was still just a stranger of unknown origin to the camp.

Moreover, he is much stronger than me.

Even though there is a wooden dummy to provide support, one still needs to remain somewhat cautious.

"Although I have never set foot on Shuanglong Mountain, I have visited it several times. It spans at least two or three hundred miles from east to west. Not to mention cold beasts, there are probably many strange monsters. Brother Gao was able to pass through it alone. I think his strength must be far beyond that of ordinary people, at the cold-resistant level..."

Xia Hong didn't finish his words. He said the last three words with some hesitation. At the same time, when he looked up at Gao Yu, there was obvious suspicion in his eyes.

Judging from Daxia's current activity area, it is obviously impossible for a cold-resistant class weapon to pass through the Shuanglong Mountain, which is more than 200 miles long, from the east to the west.

This Gao Yu is either hiding his strength or not telling the truth!

Xia Hong's expression changed, and Xia Chuan, Luo Yuan and others also reacted immediately. They all turned their heads and stared at Gao Yu, their expressions gradually becoming alert.

Facing everyone's suspicious looks, Gao Yu was silent for a moment, then smiled bitterly and said, "Forget it, it seems I can't hide it anymore, so I'll just tell you straight out."

Having said this, Gao Yu paused for a moment, then turned around to face everyone, unbuttoned his shirt and exposed his chest.

"hiss…………"

Xia Hong, including everyone else, couldn't help but take a deep breath.

Gao Yu's exposed chest was covered with countless tiny cracks.

It looked like broken pottery or cracked earth after a drought. The bright red flesh exposed between the cracks was very obvious and the shape was truly horrifying.

It was hard to believe that Gao Yu, who had just been smiling and communicating with them gently, had such horrific injuries on his body.

"Is this caused by a ghost?"

Xia Hong frowned and asked.

Such injuries are obviously not something that can be caused by cold beasts or humans.

Gao Yu turned around, facing the iron furnace with his back to everyone, put on his clothes first, then turned around and sat down, nodding gently to Xia Hong:

"Yes, it's a mid-level evil spirit..."

After he finished speaking, he paused for a moment before continuing to explain:

“Ten days ago, I went out of the village to hunt in Shuanglong Mountain. My hunting area was only about ten miles outside Shuanglong Mountain, but I was unlucky that day. Not long after I entered, I encountered a monster.

Not only can that strange monster control many cold beasts at the same time, it can also shoot out evil light and break a person's body into pieces. I was caught by it accidentally and was chased by it all the way. In a panic, I accidentally passed through Shuanglong Mountain and came here."

As soon as Gao Yu finished speaking, everyone, including Xia Hong, stood up, turned their heads to look at the sky above the valley, and then looked at Gao Yu, their eyes filled with anger.

"Don't worry, I got rid of that weirdo halfway through. I also killed the four frosty beasts it controlled. It won't follow me. Please don't worry!"

Even though Gao Yu explained it very quickly, the expressions on Xia Chuan and others' faces did not relax. They all turned to look at Xia Hong.

Xia Hong looked at Gao Yu at this moment, frowning and feeling extremely annoyed.

As expected, strangers never bring anything good!
He was fleeing, or being chased by a mid-level monster.

What Gao Yu said sounded good, and he said that the monster would not chase after them, but could he guarantee it?
A wooden puppet that had not yet been promoted to the intermediate level almost slaughtered all the humans in Redwood Ridge.

What would happen if we really attracted a genuine intermediate monster?

He can control multiple cold beasts at the same time, and can also shoot out evil light that can shatter a human body. These two abilities alone are enough to bring huge trouble to Da Xia. How can Xia Hong not be annoyed?

If Gao Yu wasn't so powerful, and hadn't been so polite from beginning to end, and hadn't deliberately hidden anything from her, Xia Hong would have probably started cursing and chased him away.

Seeing the expressions on everyone's faces, Gao Yu obviously realized that he was no longer welcome. After thinking for a long time, he finally showed a trace of helplessness and bowed to Xia Hong, saying:

"Brother Xia, I am indeed wrong in this matter, but I am injured and unfamiliar with the surroundings. I only ask to stay in Daxia for five days. When my injuries are almost healed, I will leave immediately. How do you think?"

Although Gao Yu's tone already contained a hint of pleading, Xia Chuan and the others immediately shook their heads, with expressions of rejection on their faces.

Xia Hong, on the other hand, remained silent.

Gao Yu saw this and knew there was still hope, so he immediately added:
"Of course, if the strange monster really comes along, Gao will not just leave. He will definitely stay and fight with Brother Xia!"

Xia Hong frowned slightly, looking at Gao Yu, and became more and more worried in his heart.

This person's appearance was really inexplicable;

To be honest, until now, he still hasn't completely believed what Gao Yu said.

But the problem is, this guy doesn't look bad and there's nothing wrong with his attitude.

Although there are still loopholes in the argument, it still makes sense.

Being chased by a strange monster, he had no choice but to flee here. With such serious injuries on his body, he could explain his previous cover-up and unwillingness to explain the matter clearly. After all, Gao Yu was a stranger to Da Xia, and Da Xia was also a stranger to him. They were wary, and so were they.

Mainly, five days is a bit long...

Thinking that there might be a big trouble behind the other party, or even that big trouble might be staring at the Daxia base from above the valley, Xia Hong thought for a long time, and finally took a deep breath and said:

"Two days, at most I will host you. You will leave when the time is up. Although my Daxia camp is small, we have more than a thousand people. I hope Brother Gao will forgive me!"

Xia Hong considered himself not to be a kind-hearted person, so he really couldn't do such a thing as not saving someone from death.

Looking at the wound on Gao Yu's chest, it would probably take ten days or half a month to heal without special treatment, let alone five days. He himself probably had no intention of staying in the camp to heal, he just wanted to rest here.

In that case, two days will be enough!

Sure enough, after hearing the two days, Gao Yu immediately smiled.

"Thank you, Brother Xia. I am very grateful. I will definitely leave in two days!"

"You're welcome, it's just a little effort."

Xia Hong waved his hand casually, then called Shi Ping and asked him to arrange a room for Gao Yu on the first floor.

It was only a piece of cake to let him stay in the camp for two days, and it didn't require any effort. Moreover, the other party also gave him four intermediate-level cold beasts. If I didn't consider the intermediate-level monster, I would definitely have made a profit.

After explaining things to Shi Ping, he took Xia Chuan and the others directly to the second floor.

Shi Ping led the cheerful Gao Yu to an empty room, politely gave him a few instructions on things to pay attention to, and then turned and left.

Gao Yu, who was left alone in the room, immediately replaced the cheerful expression on his face with a capable look as soon as Shi Ping left. A gleam of brilliance appeared in his eyes. After thinking for a moment, he lowered his head and chuckled twice:

"This weak country of Daxia actually has such a magical object. Interesting, interesting..."

………………

"Chief, it's not appropriate to keep that man for two days, right?"

As soon as he went up to the second floor, Xia Chuan couldn't wait to speak.

Luo Yuan and others also nodded, obviously agreeing with Xia Chuan.

"That person's appearance is indeed a bit strange. The materials of his clothes and weapons are something we have never seen before. He passed through Shuanglong Mountain at the Cold-Resistant Level and was seriously injured. The more I think about it, the more wrong it seems."

"It's fine if his origin is unknown, but if what he said is true, it is very likely to attract a mid-level monster. If it is false, then he has other purposes. Regardless of whether it is true or not, we should not take him in."

"He just mentioned a Shenwu Village, but he didn't explain it in detail..."

Everyone nodded after hearing what Xia Chuan and Luo Yuan said.

Only when Yuan Cheng said that last sentence, everyone immediately turned to look at him, and their expressions became a little strange, including Xia Hong.

"That's right. It's not appropriate to rashly inquire about the situation in someone else's camp!"

Yuan Cheng smiled awkwardly, obviously realizing the problem with his words.

Xia Hong looked back at everyone and did not rush to speak. Instead, he felt a sense of admiration for everyone's vigilance.

He also thought that he was the only one who did not completely trust Gao Yu.

It seems that Xiachuan Luoyuan and the others are the same.

"It is indeed a problem, but his strength is there. We can't just reject him directly. We don't know how much his injuries will affect his strength. If we really ask him to leave, what if he refuses to leave, or after leaving, he bears a grudge and creates trouble for the camp? What should we do?"

Xia Hong did not explain the reason to the crowd, but simply explained the facts in a calm tone.

When everyone heard this, they were stunned for a moment, and then they all lowered their heads in silence.

"Even with five wooden dummies, I'm not sure I can defeat him. So rather than saying that taking him in was my decision, it's more like a joint decision between me, you, and the current strength of the camp."

Hearing Xia Hong's increasingly explicit words, Xia Chuan and the other seventeen people felt their cheeks suddenly turn red and felt a little ashamed.

Xia Hong's meaning is very clear.

Given the current strength of the Daxia Camp, we are not qualified to reject them.

If they forcefully refuse, they will most likely not be able to afford the price to pay.

The current strength of the camp does not only refer to Xia Hong alone.

These seventeen people are considered the strongest fighting force in Da Xia at present.

But after witnessing and participating in the duel between Xia Hong and Yuwen Hu, the seventeen people all knew that facing a powerful cold-resistant expert, the seventeen of them were actually no different from decorations.

After all, the iron arrows they shot from their ten-stone bows couldn't even penetrate Yuwen Hu's body, let alone close combat with a knife.

Speed, strength, reaction, and cold-resistance level are enough to kill them instantly.

"It's a good thing that you can question me, but when considering things, the difference in strength must be taken into account. I would like to drive him away, but my strength does not allow it..."

At this point, Xia Hong paused, his face slightly gloomy, and continued:

"He is being polite, but that is just a choice. With his strength, even if he is not polite, we can't do anything to him!"

Xia Chuan and others nodded first, then clenched their fists under their sleeves, and their desire for power reached its peak again.

This situation where you know that the other person has problems but still dare not refuse is really uncomfortable, and it feels like everything is under the control of others.

"Remember, strength is the basis for all decisions."

"Yes, leader!"

Seeing that Xia Chuan and others responded in a deep voice, Xia Hong nodded and led everyone to the camp supply center.

"Greetings to the chief, all the lords!"

Tong Xinglong and the other two who were in charge of processing the prey bowed to Xia Hong and the others, then immediately led them into the slaughterhouse.

At the slaughterhouse, seven huge carcasses of cold beasts were being processed.

Xia Hong bypassed the three snow-manes and the demon sheep in front and ran straight to the four strange cold beasts behind, his eyes full of surprise.

"Shi Ping just had someone bring these four up. He said these two are called Fire Stone Tigers, and the other two are called Frost Lightning Ape and Blue Thunder Roar. I haven't seen them yet. Did the leader lead the team to hunt them down tonight?"

Tong Xinglong obviously didn't know that there were guests, and thought that the four prey were all hunted down by Xia Hong's team.

Xia Chuan and others nearby immediately came up to explain to Tong Xinglong.

Xia Hong focused on looking at four cold beasts he had never seen before. The four were approximately ten meters long, and were indeed the size of intermediate cold beasts.

The body of the Flint Tiger is black, but its hair is fiery red. Its four claws are sharp and thick, and its strength is amazing.

The Frost Ape's body is blue, with short black curly mane, and its body is muscular. Its chest area seems to be equipped with four pieces of extremely hard armor.
The last one, the Green Thunder Roar, looks a bit like a lion, but its skin is glowing green, and its hair is also green. Two fangs more than three meters long are inserted on both sides of its bloody mouth, and its appearance is quite terrifying.

Appearance is secondary. Xia Hong glanced at the four preys one by one, and his eyes gradually became solemn.

There was not a single scar on the bodies of the four prey, except for a round sword hole on their foreheads.

Xia Hong walked to the forehead of a flint tiger, drew out his ceremonial sword, aimed it at the sword hole, and thrust it down.

The 1.5-meter-long blade of the ceremonial sword was completely submerged in the air in an instant, leaving only the handle outside.

Xia Hong moved left and right twice and realized that the flesh and blood inside the Fire Stone Tiger's skull had been completely crushed. His expression immediately froze.

"Leader?"

"what's the situation?"

…………

Xia Chuan and others noticed the change in Xia Hong's expression and immediately surrounded him.

There was no need for Xia Hong to speak. When Xia Chuan and others saw the wound of the Fire Stone Tiger, they reacted immediately. Then they checked the wounds of the other three cold beasts one after another. Their expressions immediately became the same as Xia Hong's.

Judging from the wounds alone, even if they were not killed in one blow, the simplicity of Gao Yu's hunting of the four cold beasts was probably far beyond their imagination.

The other party had said before that these four cold beasts were controlled by monsters.

If what he said was true, it meant that he was able to kill four intermediate-level cold beasts so easily while escaping from the monster.

"I'm afraid Gao Yu's strength is far beyond our imagination..."

Hearing Xia Chuan's words, Xia Hong frowned suddenly, and after thinking for a long time, he faced everyone and spoke in a deep voice:
“It just so happens that the matter with the Jingxian camp has not been resolved yet. For the next two days, all activities outside the camp, including the hunting team, the gathering team, and the logging team, will be stopped. No one is allowed to go out.

During this time, Xia Chuan, you should personally lead people to check around the valley, especially above it. The fire condensing oil should be replenished as needed, and report any abnormalities to me in a timely manner.

Also, quietly notify everyone not to let anyone interact with Gao Yu for the next two days, especially the children, who need to be watched carefully!"

"Yes, leader!"

There must be something wrong with this Gao Yu.

It is not known whether these four cold beasts were killed before or after he was injured.

If it's the former, then it's fine;

If it's the latter...

Xia Hong's eyes trembled slightly, and a shadow suddenly covered his heart.

"Hurry up and bleed these seven cold beasts and send them to my room!"

After giving instructions to Xia Chuan, Xia Hong immediately turned around and went upstairs.

Xia Chuan told Tong Xinglong to do it quickly, and then stayed where he was, looking at Luo Yuan and others for a moment, his expression gradually becoming worried.

"Practice harder. If you are not strong enough, there are dangers everywhere!"

After saying this, Luo Yuan was the first to turn around and leave.

"We can't rely on the leader for everything. We need to work harder."

Yuan Cheng also spoke in a deep voice, and was the second to leave.

Although the others did not speak, they followed closely and returned to their rooms, apparently to seize the time to practice.
