Endless Winter: My Camp Infinite Upgrades

Chapter 201: Clearing the Acupuncture Points, Breakthrough is Imminent
"Oh... big..."

"Don't talk, practice first, it will be over soon!"

Seeing that Xia Chuan was still trying to speak, Xia Hong immediately interrupted him.

Then he walked slowly to Xia Chuan's side, his left eye flashing slightly.

Wisps of beast blood mist were constantly drilling into Xia Chuan's skin pores. The pores would be instantly torn and expanded by the influx of blood, and then repaired again to form a tougher and thicker membrane.

"This Eye of Delusion-Breaking can actually have such a miraculous use!"

A hint of joy appeared in Xia Hong's eyes, and he continued to observe Xia Chuan's membrane.

He soon discovered that blood and qi were blocked and stagnant at some key acupuncture points on the membrane, and as these phenomena appeared, the pain on Xia Chuan's face would become more severe.

"Don't move. Let me try it. Tell me how it feels!"

Xia Hong's expression was slightly condensed. He put two fingers of his right hand together, bulged the muscles in his arm, and used his clever strength to aim at an acupuncture point on Xia Chuan's right shoulder and tap it lightly.

"Snapped…………"

His basic strength was so terrifying that even if he controlled the force a little, Xia Chuan's shoulder still made a popping sound.

However, as the sound came out, the pain on Xia Chuan's face suddenly eased a lot. He endured the pain and said, "Very comfortable, big brother!"

Xia Hong looked at the place where he tapped lightly, and his eyes lit up instantly.

It was not because of Xia Chuan's answer, but because at this moment, blood and qi flowed smoothly into the place in Xia Hong's eyes that he had just touched.

"You can use external force to destroy the pores of the membrane, allowing blood and qi to flow freely."

After reaching this conclusion, Xia Hong's expression suddenly became more excited. He used both hands to press all the blocked acupuncture points on Xia Chuan's body.

"call…………"

He had to move both hands at the same time and control his arms with clever strength, which he could only do with two fingers. This was more tiring than using all his strength. After half an hour, Xia Hong was already sweating profusely, and even his clothes were soaked.

On the other hand, the pain on Xia Chuan's face became less and less, and he even showed a hint of enjoyment later on. All the blood and energy on his skin membrane were absorbed completely, and his skin color became smoother.

"Brother, are you okay?"

Xia Chuan stood up and saw Xia Hong looking exhausted, without even having time to put on his clothes. He asked with a worried look on his face.

Xia Hong waved his hand slightly and said, "It's okay. There aren't many blocked acupuncture points. They can be unblocked in one go. The dosage of animal blood you use next time should be much higher. Let me know when the time comes.

By the way, what is your basic strength now?"

A warm feeling passed through Xia Chuan's heart. When he heard Xia Hong's next question, he immediately clenched his fists and his expression instantly became excited.

"It's already 47,000. I can feel that the progress of my skin membrane reconstruction is only 20%. Brother, I should be a top-class combat body, right?"

Xia Hong's expression brightened instantly when he heard this.

Xia Chuan didn't have a system, so his perception of the progress of membrane remodeling was certainly not as accurate as his own, but he could sense 20%, which was definitely close enough.

The limit of the Digging Realm is 30,000 jin. The progress of membrane reconstruction is only 20%, but the basic strength has increased by 17,000. With the next 80% progress, even if it is calculated as a minimum, Xia Chuan's final basic strength can be as high as 115,000 jin.

The increases in the strength of the upper, middle and lower grade combat bodies are 70,000, 50,000 and 30,000 jin respectively. According to the current increase, Xia Chuan has already surpassed the upper grade combat body.

The problem is that the increase cannot be calculated in this way.

As you progress further, the more beast blood you use, and the greater the increase will be.

With the last 30% of his progress, his strength suddenly soared to 300,000 kilograms.

Recalling the process of reshaping his own membrane, Xia Hong turned to look at Xia Chuan with a hint of anticipation on his face, and said:
"Not only that, maybe you are also a super combat body like me!"

Hearing Xia Hong's words, Xia Chuan's expression suddenly became more excited.

The four types of combat bodies, namely super, upper, middle and lower, as well as the five types of the most common one, breaking through the cold-resistant level, are no longer a secret in Daxia.

During this period, Xia Chuan has been feeling very uneasy.

After all, eldest brother Xia Hong is a super combat body, and he can defeat He Yuanhun as soon as Xia Hong breaks through. He is probably one of the top ones among the super combat bodies.

With such a good example before him, it would be a little unreasonable for his younger brother to have only an average or lower-level combat body.

This is the reason why he frantically increased the dosage of beast blood.

Now that he heard from Xia Hong that he might also be a super combat body like him, Xia Chuan finally felt relieved.

At the same time, I became more looking forward to breaking through the cold-resistant level.

"Although Yuwen Tao's progress is higher than yours, it is only 40%. It seems that it will take quite a while for both of you to break through to the Cold Resistance Level!"

Xia Hong shook his head as he spoke, a trace of worry on his face.

Xia Chuan noticed Xia Hong's expression and asked hurriedly, "Brother, is it about the beast tide? Do you need Yuwen Tao and I to break through to the cold-resistant level as soon as possible?"

At the moment, the new trouble the camp encountered might be the beast tide in the bamboo forest in the north. Considering that Xia Hong had just returned from there, Xia Chuan naturally guessed that it was the beast tide.

"Yes, but it's not just the beast tide..."

The beast tide is of course one aspect. Xia Hong also wants to explore deep into the bamboo forest and find out the cause of the beast tide. However, he is still a little unsure if he can do it alone. It will naturally be safer if he can have a few more helpers.

On the other hand, there is the issue of one’s own cultivation.

Until now, Xia Hong still hasn't figured out the specific realm divisions of the Cold-Proof Level, including what the subsequent Yang-Manifesting Level is all about, he knows nothing about it.

Since it concerns cultivation, he cannot afford to be careless in the slightest.

"So, I have to find an opportunity to go out and find other people to learn about the training situation after the Cold Resistance Level!"

After hearing the last sentence, Xia Chuan naturally understood.

There must be someone of the cold-resistant level stationed here in the valley. Unless he and Yuwen Tao break through, Xia Hong will definitely not be able to go out with peace of mind.

Although he was worried about Xia Hong going out, Xia Chuan knew how important it was to his cultivation. After thinking for a moment, he said in a deep voice, "Don't worry, big brother. I will definitely break through as soon as possible."

Xia Hong shook his head slightly and waved his hand, saying, "Don't worry. Since you have the qualifications of a super combat body, then you should follow the procedures step by step. Once you have a solid foundation and become stronger in the future, you will be able to help me better."

Not everyone has the same system as me.

Ten kilograms at a time is already an astonishing amount.

Seeing the still stubborn expression on Xia Chuan's face, knowing that he didn't listen to her words, Xia Hong smiled and said, "Your usage is almost catching up with Yuwen Tao. He has already reached the limit of the Digging Realm. Now, the most he uses at a time is twelve kilograms."

Hearing that the difference between himself and Yuwen Tao was only two kilograms, Xia Chuan's expression suddenly cheered up. Before coming to Daxia, Yuwen Tao had already reached the limit of the Digging Realm and started using beast blood.

Calculated in this way, his promotion was undoubtedly greater than that of Yuwen Tao.

"By the way, big brother, is Yuwen Tao also a super combat body?"

Hearing this, Xia Hong turned around, looked at the curiosity on Xia Chuan's face, and chuckled.

He knew about the secret rivalry between the two.

Yuwen Tao is younger and his cultivation is higher than Xia Chuan. From this point of view, his talent should be stronger, but Xia Hong does not think so. With the three inheritances of Wooden Puppet Gui, Xia Chuan's future potential is not low.

"He has reached 40% of his progress, and his basic strength is already 59,000. If nothing unexpected happens, he will also be a super combat body."

Hearing this, Xia Chuan's expression was both happy and heavy, very complicated.

He was happy, probably because he felt that the stronger Yuwen Tao was, the more beneficial it would be to the Daxia camp; he was heavy, because he felt that there was still some gap between himself and Yuwen Tao in terms of qualifications.

That’s why the reaction is so complicated!
Xia Hong could see it, so he smiled slightly and said nothing.

It's a good thing to have competition.

"By the way, how much animal blood is in stock in the camp, and how long will it last?"

Hearing this, Xia Chuan's expression suddenly became serious, and he said, "There are 1300 kilograms. Currently, there are already more than a dozen people who have started using beast blood. As long as people are in the camp, they will basically change it every day. The daily consumption is about 100 kilograms. The beast blood reserves are not abundant, and it is a bit tight."

Xia Chuan, Yuwen Tao, Hong Guang, Hong Tian, ​​Zhu Ling, Zhu Yuan, Meng Yi, Luo Yuan, Yuan Cheng, Zhao Long, Zhao Hu, Zhao Bao, Huang Yong…

Xia Hong could remember thirteen people who had reached the limit of the Earth Digging Realm, and there must be some that he didn't know about.

Moreover, more and more people will make subsequent breakthroughs.

The current daily consumption is 100 kilograms, and it will definitely continue to rise.

1300 pounds, can’t even last half a month!

Xia Hong shook his head slightly and was about to speak when he suddenly noticed that the token hanging on Xia Chuan's waist was different from before. His eyes immediately lit up and asked, "Has your hunting team been promoted to intermediate level?"

Xia Chuan chuckled and nodded, "Three days ago, I led a team to hunt a golden-armored thunder beast. The five intermediate-level cold beasts have been gathered. I just found Luo Yuan for promotion today, and you are back, big brother."

This is such an unexpected surprise!

Xia Hong couldn't help but show a bit of joy in his eyes.

He knew that Xia Chuan had led a team to hunt intermediate-level cold beasts before, but he was a little surprised that he could hunt five species in such a short time.

Xia Hong suddenly thought of something and said with sudden enlightenment:
"I see. I was wondering why Yuwen Tao was so anxious to go north to find the intermediate-level cold beasts during his time in Jinggu. It's because your two teams have been competing to be promoted to the intermediate level recently, right?"

The beast tide in the Arrow Bamboo Forest comes from the north of Redwood Ridge. You can still hunt on the western side of the valley. Jinggu is just to the north of Redwood Ridge, so you naturally cannot enter during the beast tide.

During the five days when they were trapped in Jing Valley, Yuwen Tao often took the Longwu team to Pingxiyuan, ten miles north, to look for intermediate-level cold beasts. Xia Hong didn't understand why during those days, but now he understood the reason.

"Hehe, it's also luck. If Yuwen Tao hadn't been trapped in Jinggu for so many days, the Longwu team would have been promoted before me. Now, they can only take second place!"

Hearing the pride in Xia Chuan's tone, Xia Hong couldn't help but smile.

It seems that the competition between these two people is not only about strength, but also about the speed of promotion of the hunting teams they lead. "Don't be too proud. The day before yesterday, I saw that they had hunted a mid-level Qing Leihou. When Yu Wentao comes back this time, the Longwu team should also be able to be promoted to the mid-level."

Although he was warning Xia Chuan, Xia Hong's tone was filled with undisguised joy as he realized that Da Xia would soon have two mid-level hunting teams.

The standard for the Daxia intermediate hunting team to successfully hunt five intermediate cold beasts of different species is actually set very high. Yuwen Tao had already made this clear at the beginning of formulating the promotion rules.

This is equivalent to laying a solid foundation.

If the Ruyunjiao team successfully hunted five intermediate-level cold beasts, they will have a wide range of targets to choose from when entering Redwood Ridge in the future. In fact, because they have sufficient experience in hunting five kinds of beasts, even if they encounter unfamiliar intermediate-level cold beasts, their success rate in hunting will definitely be very high.

The same will be true for Yuwen Tao's Longwu team in the future, or any other team that is promoted to the intermediate level.

After thinking for a moment, Xia Hong said, "The beast tide in the Arrow Bamboo Forest has thinned out a lot. I came back early. Yuwen Tao and the others should be back in two days.

During this period, I will take the time to hunt more intermediate-level cold beasts to increase the reserve of beast blood and help you and Yuwen Tao break through.

In addition, you should also supervise the others, Hong Guang, Hong Tian, ​​Zhu Ling, Zhu Yuan, Meng Yi, Luo Yuan and Yuan Cheng... With my full support, there will definitely be no shortage of beast blood. How far you can improve depends entirely on your own abilities."

"yes, Sir!"

Xia Chuan nodded and responded in a deep voice, with a hint of self-blame in his eyes.

After all, it's because the people under them are not up to the standard.

If one or two people at the Cold-Resistant Level appear, Xia Hong won't have to stay in the camp and can go out freely to inquire about the cultivation situation after reaching the Cold-Resistant Level. This means that the eldest brother is sacrificing his own cultivation time to help them break through.

In addition to blaming himself, Xia Chuan naturally felt more stressed.

"Not only do we have to speed up, but we also have to think of ways to urge others. Nothing can be delayed. We can't let people like us delay Big Brother's training time!"

As Da Xia grew stronger, Xia Chuan became increasingly aware that Xia Hong, as the leader, was crucial, especially his strength.

It can be said that without Xia Hong, the stabilizing force, everything in Daxia today is just a castle in the air. Any slightly serious natural or man-made disaster will cause it to collapse in an instant.

The wooden puppet, the rat tide, the beast tide, the mirror fairy, He Yuanhun, Chen Yingyuan, Chen Yingba, and Wu Tianxing of the Beehive Camp... Which of these people and these things was not saved in the end by Xia Hong's extraordinary strength?
"By the way, big brother, I successfully created a knife puppet..."

Knife puppet!

Thinking of the Zhumu he brought back from Wuyuan Mountain, Xia Hong's eyes suddenly lit up. While listening to Xia Chuan's introduction, he followed him to the craftsmen's department to take a look at the knife puppet.

With Xia Hong's public appearance, everyone in the camp knew that the leader was back.

Then he realized that the beast tide in the bamboo forest had also passed.

The tense atmosphere in the camp caused by the beast tide that had lasted for five days finally disappeared.

However, there are still more than 400 people trapped in Jinggu, and the relatives of these people are naturally looking forward to their loved ones coming back.

………………

May 25, the first year of Daxia
Yuwen Tao and more than 400 others who had been trapped in Jinggu for seven days also returned.

The beast tide took away the lives of 128 people, including 12 in the Digging Realm. The relatives of these people were naturally heartbroken, but fortunately, the camp’s post-reset work is now good, and the property of these deceased people has been smoothly handed over to their descendants, and each family has also been given a considerable contribution value pension.

There are sad ones, but there are even more happy ones.

After all, there were more than 300 people, and they all returned safely.

………………

On May 26, the first year of the Great Xia Dynasty, at dawn
In the three-story hall of the wooden building, Xia Chuan stood in the first place.

Yuwen Tao, Hong Guang, Hong Tian, ​​Zhu Ling, Zhu Yuan, Meng Yi, Luo Yuan, Yuan Cheng, Zhao Long, Zhao Hu, Zhao Bao, Huang Yong, Hong Gang... a total of 19 people walked in one after another and all stood in order behind Xia Chuan.

Everyone looked calm, but they would occasionally look up.

Xia Hong was sitting cross-legged with his eyes closed on the golden chair. He did not speak a word, and the twenty people below were all waiting quietly without saying a word.

Seeing that no one came in for a long time, Xia Hong opened his eyes and asked:
"Is everyone here?"

Xia Chuan immediately bowed and replied: "Leader, the camp currently has 20 members who have broken through the Digging Realm limit and are all here."

Xia Hong nodded slightly, looking at the twenty people below, his expression slightly brightened.

If nothing unexpected happens, these twenty people below should be the first batch of cold-resistant level people in Da Xia, except for himself.

If all these twenty people break through, not to mention a mere beehive, even the entire Pingxi Plain, Daxia will be able to dominate.

Although the Longshan Alliance is composed of twelve giant camps, judging from the situation in the Beehive Camp, their top combat power is probably only at the cold-resistant level.

I don’t know if these twelve camps together can produce twenty cold-resistant-level camps. By then, the entire Longshan Alliance will be just like that in the eyes of Daxia.

"You're thinking too far ahead..."

Xia Hong lowered his head and chuckled twice, putting aside the random thoughts in his mind, and slowly spoke to everyone with a smile:
"You should have all started using beast blood. I called you here today, firstly, to continue to explain to you the key points of the Cold Resistance Level breakthrough, and secondly..."

The twenty people in the hall are not only the people with the highest cultivation in Daxia, but they also lead a hunting team. In addition to cultivation, they are also very busy with hunting and mining. Xia Hong would naturally not gather them here for no reason.

The main reason was that the experiment on Xia Chuan was successful yesterday.

Since he could use external forces to help these Digging Realm cultivators reach their limits and improve their efficiency in absorbing beast blood, Xia Hong would naturally not hesitate to help these people do it as well.

It's nothing more than a little tiring, and it doesn't cause any loss, but it can help these people improve the efficiency of absorbing beast blood. In the future, when they break through to the cold-resistant level, they will get more feedback, which will enhance the overall strength of the camp.

Xia Hong could naturally tell what was more important.

After Xia Hong's explanation, everyone was still a little confused.

But as he asked Yuwen Tao to start using the beast's blood directly in the hall, and repeated on Yuwen Tao what he had done to Xia Chuan yesterday in front of everyone, everyone's pupils suddenly shook and their expressions immediately became excited.

Let alone Yuwen Tao, the person involved.

His original amount of beast blood was no more than twelve kilograms. However, after Xia Hong tapped him dozens of times, not only did the pain instantly ease, but Xia Hong even gave him another two kilograms on the spot.

Yuwen Tao woke up from the pain, feeling the surge in his basic strength and the leap in the progress of his membrane. His eyes were full of excitement. He looked back at Xia Hong, who was sweating and exhausted. His expression was somewhat moved. He thought for a moment and then knelt down in front of him.

"I will never forget the kindness of the leader in giving me a new life!"

"Get up, it's just a matter of moving your hands!"

Xia Hong said it lightly, but the fatigue on his face fully demonstrated that such a dredging was by no means easy for him.

"You have few people now, so during this period, please send one every other day."

Hearing Xia Hong's words, the other people present became excited.

Everyone is aware that the enhanced ability of the membrane to absorb animal blood means that the improvement in basic strength to break through the cold-resistant level will be even greater in the future.

Xia Hong was willing to take the time to help all of them once, which was, as Yuwen Tao said, a real blessing of rebirth.

The eighteen people present looked at Yuwen Tao in front of them, stared at each other for a while, then knelt down in front of Xia Hong at the same time, with a respectful tone, and shouted in unison:

"Thank you, Chief!"

"No need to thank me. In the next few months, there will be no shortage of beast blood. Hurry up and go back to practice. Just break through the cold-resistant level as soon as possible. Disperse!"

"As ordered!"

Everyone bowed to answer, but when they looked up, they found that Xia Hong was no longer on the golden chair.

"Master Si Cheng, the leader said that there will be no shortage of animal blood. What does that mean?"

After everyone looked at each other for a while, Yuan Cheng couldn't help but ask Xia Chuan what Xia Hong meant by what he just said.

Xia Chuan looked back at everyone, thinking of what Xia Hong said a few days ago, a trace of self-blame appeared on his face, and he spoke slowly with a heavy face:
"The leader will be away soon, but we..."

Knowing that Xia Hong had sacrificed his own training time and even went out hunting in person, just to help him break through, everyone in the hall, including Yuwen Tao, immediately showed a touch of shame and self-blame.

"Therefore, we must cherish all the time we have for cultivation in the future and speed up our breakthrough to the Cold Resistance Level. We must not delay the leader's cultivation!"

Although no one spoke, the determined expressions on their faces gave their response.

…………

Xia Hong naturally had no idea what was happening in the hall.

He had already taken the piece of jade bone and came to the medicine workshop.

"Meet the leader!"

Cheng Feng was not there, but there were still people on duty in the medicine workshop on weekdays. When they saw Xia Hong walk in, everyone stopped what they were doing and saluted him.

Xia Hong waved his hand slightly, signaling everyone to stand up, and then walked alone to the giant medicine furnace in the middle of the alchemy workshop and threw the jade bone in his hand into it.

[High-level animal bones, appraisal fee: 2000 coal stone points]

Seeing the staggering appraisal fee, Xia Hong was slightly surprised.

2000 units of coal stone is equivalent to 40000 kilograms.

This is definitely the most expensive item ever identified in the alchemy workshop.

In addition to being shocked, Xia Hong couldn't help but feel a little more expectant.

2000 points of coal stone are naturally nothing to Xia Hong now. After consuming the resources in the system, Xia Hong quietly looked at the medicine furnace, waiting for it to give the identification results.

As the medicine furnace emitted light, a line of characters gradually appeared on the furnace wall...
