Endless Winter: My Camp Infinite Upgrades

Chapter 189: Stranger from the Baipi Mountain River Team

April 30, the first year of Daxia
"Roar…………"

Deep in the bamboo forest, a snow-white beast was roaring to the sky.

The cold beast stood upright like a human, about four meters tall, covered with snow-white hair, with an unusually broad body, and huge palms with claws like ten-centimeter steel hooks, which were extremely creepy.

But at this moment, there was an iron arrow stuck in its left eye, and dark green blood was gushing out of it. The remaining right eye was bloodshot and red, and it was roaring incessantly.

Not only the left eye, but also both of the cold beast's feet were stepping on a half-meter-long ring-shaped animal trap. Although the serrations on the trap did not pierce through the flesh, they were firmly embedded in its palms.

The two animal traps were tied with ten ropes, which were stretched straight and extended more than ten meters in all directions. At the end of the ropes, ten people in animal skins were gritting their teeth and pulling them tightly.

"That's about it, switch to the side and work together!"

Yue Feng shouted loudly from a big tree on the left side of the cold beast.

The ten people holding the ropes moved immediately upon hearing the sound.

They all quickly changed their positions, gathered together, and then gritted their teeth and pulled the rope backwards.

"Roar…………"

The trap was exerted with force in one direction, and the body of the cold beast suddenly tilted. Although it was still roaring and trying to stand firm, it fell down in less than three breaths.

boom…………

With a loud bang, the body of the cold beast collapsed and fell on the snow, immediately stirring up a snow fog ball more than ten meters high.

The moment the cold beast fell to the ground, Yue Feng, who was drawing his bow and ready to shoot on the tree, looked at its right eye and suddenly released the bowstring in his hand.

Whoosh……

The iron arrow pierced through the heavy snow fog in the air, and with a puff, it accurately hit the cold beast's right eye.

roar…………

Both of its eyes were shot by iron arrows, and the beast's roar became more hysterical. Its ferocity was completely aroused, and it slammed the ground with both its palms, causing an area of ​​dozens of meters to tremble continuously.

Boom…Boom…

"See how hard you are to kill!"

Yue Feng, holding a long sword, jumped down from the tree and landed directly on the head of the cold beast. While its roar was still there and its mouth was not completely closed, he used the strength of both hands to thrust them straight into its mouth.

puff...

Dark green blood spurted out, Yue Feng's face was fierce, he held the sword with both hands and stirred it fiercely in his mouth.

At the same time, a steady stream of iron arrows were still shooting at the pupils of the cold beast. The ten people who had just pulled the rope also rushed over with their swords raised, slashing wildly at the weak parts of the cold beast's body.

The frosty beast's resistance before death became even more fierce. Its huge palms smashed in front of it almost indiscriminately. Yue Feng and ten other people kept dodging while hacking and killing.

But even so, there were still three people who were accidentally hit by the cold beast's palm. The three people who were hit were instantly thrown backwards more than ten meters like a cannonball.

If it weren't for the snow on the ground as a buffer, the distance would have been even longer.

puff...

Yue Feng seized an opportunity to look back and found that the three men were all vomiting blood and had not stood up from the ground for a long time. Anxiety suddenly flashed across his face.

boom…………

The giant palm of the cold beast came whistling, and Yue Feng ducked to avoid it. Then he noticed with his peripheral vision the two iron arrows that were stuck in the eyes of the cold beast. He gritted his teeth, tightly grasped the hilt of the sword with both hands, suddenly turned his body, and suddenly turned his legs, and stepped hard on the ends of the two iron arrows.

puff...

The 75-centimeter iron arrow was originally only half inserted, but when Yue Feng stepped on it with his legs, it was completely inserted into the cold beast's eyeball in an instant.

"Roar…………"

The cold beast felt pain and howled violently, then its body bounced violently, directly killing more than ten people including Yue Feng.

boom…………

More than ten people were blown away and fell on the snow. Except for Yue Feng, almost all the others vomited blood.

"Don't get too close, use your bow and shoot from a distance, it's already at its limit!"

Yue Feng suppressed the blood rising in his chest, shouted to the others, and was the first to draw his longbow, shooting at the cold beast that was already staggering and fleeing into the depths of the bamboo forest.

The rest of the people did not dare to delay upon hearing the sound. They forced themselves to stand up and dispersed. They all took out their longbows and shot arrows madly at the cold beast.

The cold beast was blind, and its fleeing movements were completely distorted. It kept crashing into the trees along the way. It only lasted less than ten breaths before it was shot to death by Yue Feng and others behind it with iron arrows.

boom…………

The huge body fell to the snow with a loud noise.

"call…………"

Yue Feng's solemn expression finally relaxed and he let out a long sigh.

"Captain, are you okay?"

"He's finally dead, hurry up and save him,"

"Yuwen Sizheng is right. The vitality of this white bear is too strong."

"That skin is scary. I had to chop the same spot with my sword at least five times before I could make a cut."

"If I hadn't shot its eye earlier, I wouldn't have been able to catch it."

"The captain's last move was crucial. The two iron arrows were inserted deep into its skull, but it was still able to burst out with such a strong force that it shattered all of us."

………………

Yue Feng stood there and gasped for more than ten breaths. He ignored the discussions of the crowd and quickly walked to the three people who had just been knocked away by the white bear's giant palm.

"Yuan Kun, how are you guys?"

The three of them were barely able to sit. Li Yuankun, who was the least injured, was applying Golden Crush Powder on himself, while the other two who were more seriously injured each swallowed a Blood Crush Pill.

Li Yuankun was the first to recover. After panting for a long time, he looked up at Yue Feng, waved his hand and smiled, "It's okay. I just got its claws on my shoulder accidentally, and it cut a hole. It's not a big deal."

The other two swallowed the blood sore pills and waited for a long time before speaking weakly:
"I have a cracked bone. It should take three or four days to heal."

"My condition is more serious. Two of my rib cage bones are broken. I'm estimated to be out for ten days."

Hearing that the two were seriously injured, Yue Feng's expression suddenly became a little gloomy, and he apologized: "It's my fault, I shouldn't have been so reckless!"

"Captain, please don't say that. Mapping the land can earn contribution points, not to mention hunting cold beasts. We are all here voluntarily. It has nothing to do with you."

Li Yuankun was the first to refute Yue Feng, and the others also spoke up.

"That's right, we are all here to earn contribution points."

"It has nothing to do with the captain. We came here because everyone agreed."

"What's so reckless about this? The Arrow Bamboo Forest is originally our Daxia territory. It would be great if we could go ahead and set up a vanguard for others."

…………

Hearing what everyone said, Yue Feng's eyes were slightly moved.

As the second hunting team created in the camp, Yue Feng knew that the Shanhe team was not very strong. But nine days ago, when he heard Xia Chuan say that he wanted to select a person in charge of the Jinggu station, he was still moved.

As one of the earliest members of Da Xia and the one who has followed the leader Xia Hong for the longest time, Yue Feng naturally has extremely high demands on himself.

When the hunting department was reorganized last month, his basic strength was less than 2 kilograms, so he did not make it to the first batch of team creation and could only join Xia Chuan's Yunjiao team. He blamed himself for a long time at that time.

After practicing hard, as soon as he passed the 20,000-jin threshold, Yue Feng immediately expressed his intention to Xia Chuan, left the Yunjiao team, and established the Shanhe team.

It has been less than a month since the Shanhe team was established. Not to mention comparing them with the first twelve teams established, even compared with the eleven hunting teams established in the same period, their strength is not that strong.

In normal competition, the possibility of Yue Feng winning is very low.

After much deliberation, Yue Feng had no choice but to take a risk and discuss with the 19 members of the team to advance rapidly at a rate of one kilometer per day.

He did not hide it and told everyone directly that he wanted to compete for the position of head of Jinggu. Surprisingly, everyone actually agreed.

Yue Feng was not surprised that Li Yuankun and several other early Daxia people agreed. After all, he had a relationship with these people. But he was really surprised that other Digging Realm people in the team also agreed.

These Digging Realm masters were all newcomers from Five Ape Mountain. They had no feelings for him and didn’t even know him before. But they decided to support him just by listening to his words. Yue Feng must have been very touched.

Being moved brings pressure, and it is inevitable that one's behavior will become a little more aggressive.

Originally, the exploration today had reached a depth of 29 kilometers.

At this rate, we should be able to win for sure.

But Yue Feng was still worried that other teams would explore deeper, so he decided to take everyone two kilometers deeper.

This reckless move indeed brought problems.

White bear.

The white bear that Yuwen Tao had mentioned before was run into by them.

That is the cold beast lying on the ground at this moment.

Yuwen Tao said that there were not many cold beasts in the Arrow Bamboo Forest, and 90% of them were white bears. The reason why Jingxian Camp was short of cold beast meat before was because it was too difficult to hunt white bears.

To hunt a low-level white bear, he needs to lead the team himself. To hunt a mid-level white bear, he even needs the help of cold-resistant masters like Yuwen Hu and He Yuanhun.

With Yuwen Tao's words in mind, when Yue Feng led his team and encountered the white bear, his first reaction was naturally to retreat. After all, exploration is not hunting, and the Shanhe team has already completed the minimum target for this month. If they really want to hunt the cold beast, there is no need to choose the most difficult white bear.

The problem is that this white bear has set its sights on their team.

After the first encounter, the white bear followed their team all the way. Yue Feng led the team to make many detours but couldn't shake it off. In the end, it even followed them to the outskirts of the bamboo forest. In this case, Yue Feng had no choice.

The Arrow Bamboo Forest is now one of Daxia's resource bases. Every night, many loggers come here to collect bamboo fibers. It would be bad if they took this white bear to the outskirts and hurt someone.

So, Yue Feng decisively led the team into action.

The result is what we have now.

Although the white bear was hunted successfully, the team also suffered casualties.

Those who were injured just now were not only Li Yuankun and the other two who were knocked away, but the other sixteen people, including Yue Feng himself, were also injured, but not seriously.

"According to what Yuwen Sizheng said, this white bear is still a low-level cold beast. No wonder it is said that a mid-level white bear requires a cold-resistant expert to take action. It is indeed very strong!"

Li Yuankun also stood up at this time, walked to the side of Bai Xiong, sighed slightly, then thought of something, his eyes lit up and asked Yue Feng:
"Captain, has the contribution value and price of the white bear not been determined yet? I haven't seen anyone from other teams bring one back before. Could this be the first white bear hunted by our camp?"

If it’s the first one hunted, then its value will be very high!

The Quartermaster Department has a rule that any first kill of a cold beast, whether low-level or mid-level, will be rewarded with ten times the contribution value after identification.

When everyone heard this, their expressions suddenly became excited.

"Seven days ago, Lord Si Cheng's Yun Jiao team hunted a mid-level Blue Moon Spirit. I heard that they were awarded 35,000 contribution points at once. Everyone in the team received more than 1,000 points."

"I know about this. Five days ago, Lord Si Zheng's Longwu team also hunted a low-level Frost Electric Ape and earned more than 3000 points. This is almost as much as the contribution value of a mid-level cold beast."

"If this white bear is really the first one, it should be worth at least three or four hundred. Wouldn't that mean we can earn three or four thousand points at once?"

"Hahaha, great!"

…………

Seeing that everyone was getting more and more excited, as if they had already obtained the contribution points, Yue Feng shook his head and finally couldn't help but speak:

"What are you thinking? First one, does our team have the strength to do this? If we didn't know enough about it today, do you think our team could kill this white bear head-on?"

Everyone was stunned when they heard this, and recalling the hunting process just now, Yue Feng obviously had a certain understanding of the white bear, and the excitement on their faces immediately disappeared a lot.

"At the beginning of this month, Luo Yuan's Tiger and Leopard Squad brought back a white bear. At that time, our Mountain and River Squad had not yet been established!"

Tiger and Leopard Squad, Luo Yuan.

Everyone was shocked when they heard this and nodded slightly.

Daxia currently has a total of 23 hunting teams. Looking at the entire camp, any of these teams will definitely attract a lot of attention;
But in their Digging Realm circle, everyone's attention is basically focused on the three teams of Yunjiao, Longwu, and Hubao.

The reason is very simple. Over the past month, the total hunting merit rankings of these three teams have firmly occupied the first tier, that is, the top three.

"The Tiger and Leopard Squad is now ranked third. I remember that their merit points this month have reached more than 13000 points. Based on the average of 300 points per low-level frosty beast, they have already hunted more than 40 beasts. Tsk tsk..."

"Not only the low-level cold beast, but also a reward for the first kill."

"This month, our team has only 17, including this white bear."

"The first and second ones are even more impressive. I saw last night that Lord Si Cheng's Yun Jiao team has accumulated more than 52000 merit points. Even if you deduct the 35000 points from the intermediate Blue Moon Spirit, there are still 17000 points left. That's more than low-level cold beasts. Isn't this too exaggerated?"

"Yuwen Sizheng's Longwu Squad......"

…………

Hearing everyone's discussions, Yue Feng sighed and couldn't help but feel a strong sense of urgency.

"My Lord and Yuwen Tao have been working hard lately to become the first intermediate hunting team in Daxia. It depends on who will come out on top!"

As the captain, he certainly knew more about what happened in the hunting department than the ordinary team members.

It's been less than a month and a half since the hunting department was reorganized, and an intermediate hunting team is about to appear. However, his own Shanhe team has only hunted seventeen cold beasts so far. How can Yue Feng not feel a sense of urgency?

"Pack up, go back to Mirror Valley to rest, and return to the camp tonight!"

Hearing that they were going back, everyone's expressions suddenly became excited.

"I can finally go back."

"I haven't been home for three days."

"There are still seven prey in Mirror Valley. With this white bear, I should be able to get a lot of contribution points this time when I return."

"After being out in the open for so many days, you need to have a good rest when you get home."

…………

In order to explore the arrow bamboo forest more efficiently, Yue Feng and his team of 19 people lived directly in Jing Valley during this period, and they only went back every three days.

Only when they really lived outside did they realize how good the valley settlement was.

In theory, Jing Valley is not bad. It has houses, coal stoves, utensils... all kinds of supplies. The people from Jingxian Camp didn't move in all of them when they moved here. It basically has everything. But living here is not as comfortable and secure as living in the valley.

Knowing that they would be going back tonight, everyone was naturally in a good mood and the speed of withdrawal became much faster.

Before leaving, Yue Feng climbed to the top of a bamboo tree, roughly observed the surrounding terrain, took out the animal skin scroll, outlined it with a coal pencil for a while, and then jumped down with satisfaction.

"Thirty-one kilometers. The total length of the bamboo forest from east to west is seventy kilometers. We have already explored nearly half of it. If we continue step by step, it shouldn't take long to explore the entire area!"

The Jingxian Camp had already explored twenty kilometers before, and the map brought back by Yuwen Tao also recorded it in detail, so their starting point was all at a depth of twenty kilometers.

During these nine days, Yue Feng led the team to explore a full eleven kilometers to the east.

The results are indeed remarkable!

Li Yuankun's injuries were almost healed. Hearing this, he said excitedly, "Eleven kilometers, other teams can't possibly explore that deep. If nothing unexpected happens, the person in charge of Mirror Valley should be you, the captain."

Upon hearing this, Yue Feng showed a hint of hesitation and said, "Not necessarily. I am not afraid of the others. I am a little worried about the four teams of Hong Tian, ​​Zhu Ling, Zhu Yuan, and Meng Yi. They are much stronger than us. If they also focus on exploring, they may not be worse than us."

Li Yuankun's face darkened and he nodded slightly.

These four people have reached the limit of the Earth Digging Realm and have started to use beast blood. In terms of strength, they are much stronger than Yue Feng. If they were a little more aggressive, they would not necessarily lose.

"I'll do my best. I think I've tried my best. If I lose in the end, there's nothing I can do. Jinggu is their hometown. It's quite appropriate for them to be in charge of this station."

After Yue Feng finished speaking, his brows furrowed slightly, and it was obvious that he was not as calm as he said on the surface.

The group quickly left the bamboo forest from the north and headed towards Mirror Valley, one kilometer away, which was the former residence of the Mirror Immortal.

The destruction of Jingxian’s base in the great battle last month was mainly concentrated on the people, and the damage to the buildings and camp furnishings was not actually serious.

Except for the main building where He Yuanhun had lived before and two wooden houses that were completely destroyed, the rest of the buildings were basically intact, and even the furnishings inside were still there.

Having already stayed here for two nights, everyone was familiar with the route. After coming down from the south passage, they headed directly towards the wooden house where they had lived previously.

But before they had walked halfway, Yue Feng, who was at the front, looked down at the snow, frowned suddenly, and stopped immediately.

"Carry the two of them into the house. The rest of you should disperse and prepare torches and linseed oil to look for them. Is it a person or something else?"

When the people in the rear heard the sound, they followed Yue Feng's line of sight and saw extra footprints on the snow. Their pupils narrowed and they quickly acted according to the deployment.

The two people who had just been injured were placed in a wooden house nearby, and the remaining seventeen people immediately dispersed and began searching.

It snows all year round in the Ice Abyss world, so footprints will soon be covered by the snow and will not remain. To leave such clear footprints, the person must not have gone far, and it is even very likely that he is hiding in the camp.

"Hey hey hey..."

"I've made a fortune. I picked up so much animal meat for free."

"Hurry back, there are so many things, it's a bargain, hahaha!"

………………

A burst of laughter came from the front, and Yue Feng and the others who were about to disperse immediately stood still.

"No need to look for it, just come back!"

The sound came from the house where he lived before, so it was not difficult to guess why the other party was so happy.

"How dare you touch our prey, you bastard?"

Before Yue Feng could move, Li Yuankun and several others could no longer hold back and rushed directly towards the wooden house.

"Everyone go over there, leave one person here to watch over the two wounded."

Yue Feng did not stop them. As long as they were human beings, everything could be discussed.

Those seven prey were hunted by the twenty of them after three days of hard work and sleeping in the open air. Li Yuankun and his companions were angry, so of course he was angry too.

The seventeen people approached the wooden house and saw people going in and out of the house, carrying out the cold beasts one by one. Their faces instantly turned cold.

"What are you lifting?"

"who!"

Yue Feng shouted in a low voice, causing everyone on the other side to instantly become alert.

The seven people outside the house immediately put down the cold beasts in their hands and picked up their weapons.

At the same time, sixteen people rushed out of the house, each holding a weapon and glaring at Yue Feng and his group who were approaching.

"I asked, what are you lifting?"

When he asked the second time, Yue Feng's tone became even lower. While asking, he also raised the iron bow in his hand, put on an iron arrow, and aimed directly at a middle-aged man in the front of the crowd.

Of course, as soon as he moved, Li Yuankun and the remaining sixteen people also completed the action of drawing their bows and arrows in an instant, all aiming at the other group.

There were seventeen people on one side and twenty-three people on the other side.

Although Yue Feng's side had fewer people, their attitude was much more superior to that of the enemy. Even the look in their eyes when they were aiming their arrows showed obvious contempt.
