Endless Winter: My Camp Infinite Upgrades

Chapter 155: The killing intention of the Mirror Immortal, who will be the one to fall?
Redwood Ridge still has the same frosty appearance that has remained unchanged for thousands of years.

The huge trees seemed to be made of ice, and the pieces of ground separated by them were covered with white wool. The moonlight shining through the tree branches onto the ground was absorbed by the snow, leaving no trace.

Everything was quiet all around, except for the occasional noise caused by the wind and snow, which was unusually obvious.

"Why do the clothes you five wear look thicker than those of the others?"

Xia Hong, who was walking in front of the team, looked back at Xu Ning and Lin Kai, who were obviously bigger than the others. He then glanced at everyone and found that Qiu Peng, Zhu Shun and Zou Yuankai were the same. He immediately asked curiously.

When the hunting team heard this, they all smiled.

However, Xu Ning and the other four people who were named felt a little embarrassed.

"Chief, the five of them are all wearing things!"

Seeing Xia Hong turning around and looking at him, Xu Ning took off his shirt directly.

Under his black cloak, there was no lining, but a thick double-sided light golden leather armor.

"Is this, Lei Kuipi?"

Xia Hong walked forward and touched it, and immediately recognized the material of the leather armor. Then he turned to look at the chest of Lin Kai and the other three, and immediately understood why they all looked embarrassed.

"Didn't I tell you last time that Mu Dong used the skin of the Thunder Kui to make five sets of leather armor? We have all tried it out and found that this leather armor can protect against most of the arrows shot by the Digging Realm. It's just sitting there for now, so we might as well put it on the five of them. Of course, they have to pay for it!"

As soon as Xia Chuan opened his mouth, the others couldn't help but chuckle.

Lin Kai couldn't help but say: "I said, this leather armor should be given to you. The five of us who broke through last are not strong enough..."

"Hahaha, I only let you wear it because you're not strong enough!"

…………

Xu Ning and his four companions who broke through last were given special care.

Lin Kai and the other four felt embarrassed, not because they felt humiliated. They obviously thought that they were not strong enough and were not worthy of using such a good thing. They thought that this leather armor should be used by people who were stronger.

Seeing the five people being teased by everyone, Xia Hong couldn't help but chuckle twice, with a look of deep approval in his eyes.

Unity is not just talk. Admiring the strong is nothing. Caring for the weak is what better reflects the cohesion of a camp.

Lin Kai, Xu Ning and Qiu Peng were all from Daxia first; Zou Yuankai was from Luoge first; and Zhu Shun was from Huangzhao first.

The hunting team happens to be the most representative microcosm of the camp.

It can be seen from everyone's behavior that after more than half a year, all members within Daxia have completed complete integration.

"By the way, aren't there still twenty-five pieces of Thunder Kui head armor?"

Thinking of the gains from killing He Meng's gang, Xia Hong asked again.

Xia Chuan replied, "Mu Dong took the skull away for research. If He Meng and his gang carried it with them, it would take five people to form a whole piece. We thought it was too much trouble so we simply didn't bring it with us."

Right!

Although the armor has strong defensive power, it is made up of small pieces, which is really inconvenient to carry. Moreover, if one wants to quickly put it together to form a shield like He Meng and others, it will definitely take a lot of time to practice coordination.

I hope Mu Dong’s research can bring some surprises!
Before they knew it, Xia Hong had led everyone to the northernmost part of Redwood Ridge.

After only a brief tour of the outer area, Xia Hong's expression immediately became gloomy.

The others followed him and observed along the way, and their expressions became the same as his.

"There's something wrong with the number of low-level frigid beasts!"

"There are quite a few traces of activity on the snow."

"Are the people from the Jingxian camp still coming over?"

"It is highly likely that there is no one else except them."

…………

Sure enough, the Jingxian Camp turned a deaf ear to his words.

Xia Hong was naturally a little annoyed at being looked down upon like this.

But compared to his anger, he felt more confused at this moment!

Judging from the fact that they continued to attack Redwood Ridge, the Jingxian Camp obviously did not take their warnings seriously, or to put it more bluntly, they still did not take the Daxia Camp seriously.

If that’s the case, why not just go and take revenge directly?

Even though a large group of He Meng's men had died, the other party did not come to retaliate for six days in a row, but just continued to come to Hongmuling as if no one was around.

This behavior seems weird no matter how you look at it!
In the previous six days, the people of Da Xia did not go out, but Da Xia’s base has always been on the other side of the valley. If they want to retaliate, it is completely possible.

It is impossible not to find the Daxia headquarters.

Not to mention the two Cold-Resistant-level experts and the hundreds of Earth-Digging-level experts, they can be easily found even if you just wander around the outskirts of Redwood Ridge.

Not to mention Lu He, the leader of Lu Shang’s camp, who had been to the valley before, but now their entire camp has been merged into Jingxian.

Xia Hong was almost certain that the Jingxian Camp must know the location of the Daxia base.

This makes it even weirder!

Not only Xia Hong, but also Xia Chuan, Luo Yuan and others were all frowning at this moment. It was obvious that they thought the same as he did, and they were confused about the motives of Jingxian Camp.

"Could it be that they intend to tolerate the killing of He Meng and others, and use this as an excuse to force us to completely give up this land in the north to them?"

As soon as Luo Yuan opened his mouth, the others fell into deep thought.

You know what, that does make sense.

But soon, Xia Chuan denied this speculation.

"There's no reason. If they really wanted to do that, they could have sent someone to negotiate with us. Now they continue to attack Redwood Ridge without saying a word. It doesn't seem like they are willing to compromise with us..."

After saying this, Xia Chuan turned around and looked at Xia Hong and continued:

"Moreover, considering the overall strength of the Jingxian Camp, is it necessary for them to make such a compromise?"

This sentence made everyone silent.

Two cold-resistant-level warriors and hundreds of earth-digging-level warriors. Judging from the behavior previously shown by the people in Jingxian Camp, it would be most reasonable for them to directly bring everyone to the camp and start a war with Daxia.

But why is it like this now?
Unlike everyone else, as soon as Luo Yuan expressed his guess, Xia Hong immediately knew it was impossible. The problem was that he couldn't explain why the Jingxian Camp acted like this.

Jingxian Camp, why don’t you just come to us?

Could it be that they already knew about the green bamboo fence, marking stones, and wooden dummies?

This is impossible, Xia Hong immediately shook his head. He had just pointed out the first two buildings, and the wooden man had never appeared in front of other people.

The other party couldn't possibly know.

Whoosh……

A sound of wind suddenly came from his ears. Xia Hong's brows twitched suddenly. He quickly drew his sword, turned around, and slashed at Luo Yuan's back.

clang…………

"Run, scatter!"

It was an iron arrow that shot rapidly from the outer direction of the east side. The moment Xia Hong cut down the iron arrow, his expression suddenly changed and he yelled at everyone.

The sudden change was so sudden that Luo Yuan didn't even have the chance to look back. He only heard the iron arrow falling and Xia Hong yelling. He immediately realized that something serious had happened, and hurriedly fled madly to the south with Xia Chuan and seventeen others.

Whoosh…whoosh…whoosh…whoosh…whoosh…

Soon, everyone knew why Xia Hong yelled.

Not only on the east side, but also on the west side, which is deep in the Redwood Ridge; on the north, and even on the south where they were fleeing, that is, in the front direction, countless sharp arrows suddenly shot from all directions.

Puff…Puff…

The sounds of five or six sharp arrows piercing flesh were heard, and four of the seventeen people fell behind immediately before they had time to disperse.

Zhao Bao was shot in the left leg; Li Yun was shot in the chest; Li Pingkai's waist was pierced directly; Ying Xuan was the worst off, with a sharp arrow piercing his left cheek and the arrowhead coming out of his right cheek, blood immediately covering his entire face, looking horrifying.

The four people who were shot by arrows were afraid of affecting the escape of others, so they just gritted their teeth and groaned, and were tough enough not to make any other sound.

"Keep running, don't stop!"

Xia Hong hung behind the crowd, signaling the four to continue running away while quickly waving the ceremonial sword in his hand.

While cutting down countless iron arrows, he also took the opportunity to observe the situation around him.

When I saw this, my heart suddenly felt cold.

To the east, south, west, north and south, with the seventeen of them as the center, in four directions, about a hundred meters away, there were hundreds of people in total, who were approaching rapidly while shooting arrows.

“We were ambushed!”

"How did they know we were coming out tonight?"

"Has this been prepared long ago?"

"No, no, it doesn't look like that. There are the most people on the east side, and fewer on the west side. It looks like they just came from the bamboo forest."

"They have been sending people to monitor the valley!"

………………

In a flash, countless thoughts flashed through Xia Hong's mind, but he did not dare to stop his hands at all.

Pfft…………

Just after he cut down three or four iron arrows that were shot at Zhao Bao's heart, Xia Hong heard a sound of rapid speed. His brows jumped suddenly, and he pushed Zhao Bao away and swept his sword across.

Whoosh……

The speed of the iron arrow was far beyond his expectations. It was not hit by the ceremonial sword and fell to the ground, but quickly passed through the sword curtain and shot straight into his left eye.

At the critical moment, Xia Hong couldn't even turn his head. In desperation, he could only close his left eye.

laugh……

The membrane was pierced by the sharp arrow, and a huge force was transmitted to the face. Xia Hong moved his head backwards frantically to reduce the impact of the iron arrow.

It seemed like a long time had passed, but also like just a moment. A warm current slid down from the corner of his eye. Xia Hong opened his left eye and pulled out the iron arrow that had pierced his eyelid. Although there was relief on his face, his heart was filled with coldness.

It was only half an inch away. No, it should be said that if the progress of the membrane had not been greatly improved in the past few days, his left eye would definitely not be saved by this arrow.

Not only will you lose your left eye, you might even lose your life!
puff...

The sound of several sharp arrows piercing flesh was heard. Xia Hong suddenly raised his head and looked forward, with a hint of blood in his eyes.

As soon as he stepped back, without him to block the arrows, Xia Chuan and others who were fleeing south immediately ran into trouble.

These were the first four people to be shot.

Zhao Bao, whose left foot was shot through, was the slowest and fell to the back. He was hit by two arrows in the chest and shoulder respectively, and his speed became even slower than before.

There was also Li Pingkai. The blood from the wound on his waist had already flowed down to his legs. He had three new arrows in his back. His breathing had become extremely panicked, and he even began to stagger as he ran away.

The same thing happened to Li Yun, who had an arrow in the chest. If it weren't for Ying Xuan's support, he wouldn't even have the strength to run.

But the problem was that Ying Xuan's cheek was also shot through, and his own eyes were a little blurry, and he was obviously reaching his limit.

At this moment of escape, any wound on the body, especially the kind that affects movement, is basically not far from death.

There were more than four people. The thirteen people in front, including Xia Chuan and Luo Yuan, although they were running quite fast, had one or two arrows stuck in their bodies, and their movements were constantly deformed, and they were obviously injured.

The most terrible thing was that the arrows shot from all directions showed no signs of stopping. Not only that, a large group of at least two or three hundred people on the east side were approaching rapidly, and it seemed that there was only less than fifty meters left.

"They are planning to catch us all in one fell swoop!"

Xia Hong looked back at the hundreds of people on the east side. The distance of fifty meters was enough for him to see the appearance of those people clearly.

Seeing that Yuwen Hu was the leader, the murderous intent in Xia Hong's eyes had risen to the extreme, but he still forced himself to hold it back. He raised his long sword, turned into a gust of wind, and swept directly past Xia Chuan and others and rushed in front of them.

"Be careful of the arrows coming from behind, keep spreading out and run south!"

When Xia Chuan and others saw Xia Hong's actions, they immediately understood his intention and continued to distance themselves horizontally, but their direction of escape was still south.

In less than ten breaths, Xia Hong had already covered a distance of dozens of meters and rushed to a big tree from the south where arrows were flying.

The ceremonial sword turned into a gust of wind. Xia Hong didn't think at all. He glanced at the direction of the tree trunk where the arrow flew out, jumped up, and swung the sword fiercely.

Pfft…………

A man dressed in black and holding a huge bow was cut in half by him without even a scream, and fell directly from the tree.

"Split up first..."

As soon as the first person died, several people in the Jingxian camp who were hiding in ambush in the south immediately realized how powerful Xia Hong was. After one person shouted, more than ten people suddenly jumped down from the big tree and fled in all directions.

"If you want to run, die!"

How could Xia Hong make their wish come true? Although he came to the south mainly to help Xia Chuan and others break through, it would be even better if he could kill a few more Digging Realm cultivators in the Jingxian Camp.

He moved as fast as lightning and caught up with the nearest person in almost an instant. The moment he swung the ceremonial sword in his right hand, he took the huge double-edged axe on his back with his left hand, slightly tilted his head and threw it at the other person.

Click...bang...

At the same time as the ceremonial sword killed one person, the thrown giant axe smashed another person directly into the snow. The bright red blood instantly dyed the ground red. Two lives died in just a moment.

call out…………

Turning his head, he saw that two of the seventeen members of the hunting team had fallen. Xia Hong became anxious, with murderous intent in his eyes. He swung his ceremonial sword straight at the third person.

The 1.7-meter-long slender ceremonial sword, like a sharp spear, went straight through the man's heart. In less than ten breaths, three Digging Realm masters from Jingxian Camp had died in his hands.

No one knew how the ambush at Jingxian Camp was specifically deployed. There were the least people on the south side, only about ten in total. In the short time that Xia Hong had arrived, he had already torn open a gap on this side.

Coincidentally, Xia Chuan and others in the back also rushed over in time.

"Keep running, leave me alone!"

Hearing Xia Hong's words, Xia Chuan Luoyuan showed a hint of hesitation on his face, but when he turned around to meet Xia Hong's unquestionable gaze, he gritted his teeth and left.

"We can't let them escape, brothers. Hold them back. When the second leader arrives with his men, they will all be killed!"

What was amazing was that the nine people who had just escaped on the south side, seeing the hunting team had passed through the encirclement, rushed over again without fear of death.

Looking at the nine people approaching, Xia Hong's eyes were filled with murderous intent.

It wasn't that he couldn't catch up with the nine people just now, but he stopped because he was afraid that the hunting team would suffer more casualties, so he blocked the arrows for Xia Chuan and others.

These nine people were not afraid of death and came up again, their only purpose was to delay them.

"If you are not afraid of death, then I will send you to death!"

Xia Hong had no intention of escaping. He threw his ceremonial sword away and rushed towards the one among the nine people who was closest to Xia Chuan and others with his bare hands.

The man looked middle-aged. Seeing Xia Hong rushing towards him, a hint of fear subconsciously flashed across his pupils, but the fear soon disappeared and turned into ferocity and mania.

He dropped his longbow, raised his knife and slashed at Xia Hong.

"More than 20,000 kilograms!"

At this moment, Xia Hong had no intention of admiring the other party's fearless fighting spirit. After feeling his strength from the man's muscles, he didn't even dodge and kicked directly at the man's big knife.

puff...

The broadsword collided with Xia Hong's legs, and the violent force caused the man's knuckles to break directly. Before the attack was over, the broadsword returned straight along the path it had chopped.

The difference is that the broadsword returns with greater force and faster speed.

The back of the man's knife was unsharpened and about two or three inches thick.

But even so, the back of the knife still split his face and went straight into his head.

"the fourth!"

After killing this man, Xia Hong changed his target and rushed to the place where the ceremonial sword had just been thrown. After killing another person with one punch, he drew out the ceremonial sword and rushed towards the remaining seven people.

Although the twelve men on the south side were brave, it was a pipe dream for them to hold back the entire hunting team from Xia Hong.

The people lying on the ground should be Li Yun and Li Pingkai.

Xia Hong turned his head to look at the two bodies on the ground on the east side. He recognized their identities and his murderous intent became stronger, especially when he saw Xia Chuan and others had successfully escaped the encirclement from the south. He realized that he was completely free of burden and his body movements became faster.

laugh…………

Those seven people probably knew that they could not compete with Xia Hong, so they were still trying to chase Xia Chuan and others in front of them. Xia Hong ignored the arrows shot from behind and just concentrated on killing those seven people.

In less than five or six breaths, three of the seven who had fallen behind were killed by him.

Whoosh……

When he was rushing towards the fourth person, another sound of speeding came into his ears. Xia Hong's eyebrows jumped. This time he did not resist and chose to turn around and dodge.

puff...

Watching the iron arrow fly through the tree, Xia Hong's eyes first flashed with surprise, then he turned around and looked behind him. Yuwen Hu, who was less than 20 meters away from him and holding a strong bow, his eyes were full of coldness.

At the same time, two or three hundred people came over from behind Yuwen Hu, slowly forming an encirclement, surrounding Xia Hong in the middle.

"What a turn of events! Chief Xia Hong, you are in trouble this time!"

Xia Hong didn't say anything, but just stared at the giant bow in Yuwen Hu's hand, or to be more precise, at the white bowstring of the giant bow.

Seeing that the bowstring was also made of white silk thread, but several times thicker than the bowstring seized from He Meng and others last time, Xia Hong's expression changed slightly.

Although so many arrows were shot at him just now, Xia Hong only cared about three arrows. They were the first arrow shot at Luo Yuan, the second arrow shot at his left eye, and the third arrow that forced him to dodge.

These three arrows were obviously shot by Yuwen Hu.

Not to mention the two in front and back, the one in the middle alone is capable of breaking his skin membrane, and its power is definitely greater than that of a mane.

The toughness of the white silk thread after being thickened is so high!
"Captain Xia Hong, He Meng killed eight of you earlier, and you killed 25 of them. Tonight I led my men to encircle and suppress you, and both sides suffered casualties. Judging from the number of people, Da Xia still gained. Don't you think so?"

Seeing that Xia Hong didn't speak, Yuwen Hu continued, and this time there was a bit of sincerity in his tone.

Hearing the tone, Xia Hong could roughly guess what he was going to say, and did not answer his question. He just raised his head and asked in a calm tone:
"What do you want to say?"

Yuwen Hu took a step forward and said in a deep voice, "You and I are both human beings, struggling to survive in the Ice Abyss. Why do we have to fight to the death? Monsters and cold beasts are our real enemies. Brother Xia Hong, what do you think? Am I right?"

Next, it’s time to get to the point!
Xia Hong looked up without saying anything, continuing to wait for Yuwen Hu to speak.

"As long as Brother Xia Hong is willing to bring Da Xia into the fold, our Jingxian Camp will welcome you and offer you the position of the third leader. How do you think?"

At this time, a young man also walked out from behind Yuwen Hu.

"Brother Xia, my Jingxian camp has a population of over 10,000, and hundreds of Digging Realm people, as you have seen today. In addition, our chieftain He Yuanhun is a man of great talent and strategy. He is also a man who loves talents. He said that as long as you are willing to bring Daxia in, all previous matters can be forgiven. If you have any other requests, you can also make them."

Looking at the young man behind Yuwen Hu, Xia Hong's face showed a gloomy look, and he said in a deep voice: "It seems that I shouldn't have let you go in the first place!"

The young man was Yuwen Tao, whom Xia Hong had met once before and was let go.

Hearing Xia Hong's words, the faces of both Yu Wen and his son changed.

Obviously, all the words they said before were in vain.

"If you said something like this when we first met, I might not necessarily agree, but at least I would seriously consider it. But now..."

Xia Hong did not finish his words, but turned his gaze to the back of the crowd, where the bodies of Li Yun and Li Pingkai lay on the ground. The coldness on his face was obvious.

"Captain Xia Hong, if you really count them, the number of people who died in Jingxian Camp during these three conflicts is more than that of your Great Xia. Why are you..."

"Yuwen Hu, what did you say about me in your first sentence..."

There was no point in talking any more, so Xia Hong interrupted Yuwen Hu directly. After Yuwen Hu was stunned by his question, he asked in a rhetorical tone, "Am I in trouble?"

Xia Hong held the ceremonial sword in his hand, looked up at Yuwen Hu, and glanced around at the people in Jingxian Camp, and said in a deep voice:
“It’s too early to say who was wrong.

In today's ambush, you have achieved some results.

But later on, your Jingxian Camp will be in trouble..."

After saying the last word, Xia Hong suddenly leaped up, and the ceremonial sword drew a cold light in the night sky, and rushed straight towards Yuwen Hu who was in the middle.

Xia Hong was surrounded by two or three hundred people, but he was not afraid at all. Instead, he rushed towards him first!

No matter how good-tempered Yuwen Hu was, he felt a little embarrassed.

"If you are so stubborn, then kill me!"

All the people around immediately drew their swords and surrounded Xia Hong in three layers.
