Endless Winter: My Camp Infinite Upgrades

Chapter 208 Si Zheng comes out of retreat, opportunity to offer treasures

It’s no wonder that no one in Daxia has ever seen a flying cold beast.

It is normal to think about it. Daxia is originally at the bottom of a valley. Hongmuling on the west, Pingxiyuan in the north, and Xinghe in the south, this large area is all located at the bottom of the valley on the west side of Shuanglong Mountain. It is most likely a basin.

Flying cold beasts live in high altitudes, or at least in areas like mountain tops. The terrain of Daxia means that it is destined to be rare to encounter them.

For some reason, one of them unexpectedly broke in today.

"Why are you panicking? Are the bows on your back just for show?"

"Draw your bow and arrow, ready!"

"Stop staring blankly at me, grab your tools and get to work!"

…………

Even though it was the first time they had seen it, the instincts developed from long-term hunting allowed Luo Yuan, Xu Ning, Lin Kai and Lu Yang to react immediately.

As soon as the four of them spoke, the four teams that had just gathered under the wooden building, a total of two hundred hunting team members, all quickly took out their iron-framed bows from behind, put arrows on them, and looked up at the bird of prey flying from the sky.

"唳……"

At the same time, another high-pitched and sharp cry was heard, and the distance between the stunning black shadow and the top of the wooden building was less than two hundred meters.

Although it was night, the light from the fire in the wooden building and the huge size of the bird made it easy for everyone below to see its appearance.

Although the bird was completely black, its feathers were clearly visible under the refraction of moonlight and snowflakes, emitting a layer of dark gilded light. In addition, due to its swooping attack posture, its feathers were slightly erected, like a pair of sharp daggers.
It has a sharp, long curved beak. When it opens its mouth to make a cry, it reveals a mouthful of fine, sharp fangs. Its scarlet pupils are full of ferocity and violence.
With its wings spread, its body was nearly five meters wide, and its two extremely strong lower limbs, more than three meters tall, with a pair of huge steel claws at the end like iron hooks, made it look extremely ferocious.

"This should be a mid-level flying cold beast. If we can catch it, it will be the first kill. Let's see who has the greater ability. Brothers, bows and arrows!"

Far from being afraid, Luo Yuan immediately realized that this might be a great opportunity to be the first to kill, and his eyes lit up instantly.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh……

As soon as he finished speaking, the fifty members of the surrounding Tiger and Leopard Squad immediately released their bowstrings, and dozens of iron arrows whizzed towards the flying bird.

Of course, it wasn't just him. Xu Ning, Lu Yang, Lin Kai, and the three teams they led also reacted at this moment.

They all quickly dispersed on one side of the wooden building and shot arrows quickly into the air.

Swish swish swish…………

A dense rain of arrows flew from the ground to the sky in an instant.

The loud sound of hundreds of bowstrings bursting at the same time was enough to make Xiang Liang and five or six thousand other people below open their pupils wide and hold their breath.

call…………

However, just when all the iron arrows broke through the air and were about to hit the target.

The bird suddenly flapped its wings rapidly.

Two strong winds suddenly whistled out from the wings, not only sweeping away all the iron arrows shot by more than 200 people on the ground, but even forming two thick white vortex air waves.

That white color is snowflakes.

The snowflakes in the Ice Abyss world are all as big as a palm.

Sweeped by the strong wind created by the bird's wings, the snowflakes quickly condensed, creating the effect of two white vortex air waves.

Huh… Huh… Huh…

No, more than that.

The two wind waves blew directly from mid-air to the ground.

And the target was clearly the more than 200 people who were shooting arrows.

boom…………

The air wave hit, and the violent force came into contact with the ground with a loud bang. More than half of the two hundred people flew backwards in an instant. Although there were still more than a hundred people who could stand firmly, their postures looked very difficult, and it was obviously impossible for them to draw the bow and shoot arrows again.

"This beast, the wind created by its wings alone is so strong!"

Luo Yuan retreated several meters with a look of horror on his face.

"It's normal for an intermediate-level cold beast to have more power than us, but at a distance of 200 meters, the strong wind from its wings alone is enough to push us back..."

"It should be its innate magical power, just like other cold beasts."

"The force contained in this gale is estimated to be 70,000 to 80,000. The key is that the range after it hits the ground is too wide, and the destructive power is incredible!"

Unlike the others, Luo Yuan, Xu Ning, Lin Kai and Lu Yang were not only able to pull their longbows up again and aim at the sky, but they were also able to take time out to talk.

"Everyone else is here, I'm afraid it won't be our turn to get the first kill."

Lu Yang turned around and saw people rushing towards the main building from all directions. He immediately shook his head and spoke helplessly.

"It's a new thing, I haven't seen it before, hurry up and greet it, brothers!"

"It's the first time I've seen something flying in the sky. I can only use a bow."

"Archery, archery, what are you all standing there for?"

………………

Dozens of voices rang out in succession, and more than a thousand people quickly gathered around the wooden building. Countless iron arrows were shot into the sky, and as time went on, more people continued to rush here.

The person who rushed over didn't even ask anything. He immediately took out his longbow, aimed at the bird in the sky, and started shooting arrows.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh……

"Rain of arrows, this is the real rain of arrows..."

"How many people in the Earth Digging Realm are there in Daxia? Why are there so many?"

"Thousands, more than that, there are more people coming, a lot..."

"Look at them. The least they wear is iron armor, and there are quite a few wearing golden armor. Gudong..."

"There are more people coming, fifteen hundred, more than that, almost two thousand..."

………………

At this moment, what shocked the five or six thousand people in the four camps including Feihu the most was not the dense rain of arrows in front of them, but the massive number of hunting team members who suddenly poured in from all directions.

They originally thought that these things that entered the camp and walked to the wooden building were already the full strength of Da Xia.

Only at this moment did they truly realize that what they had just seen was just the tip of the iceberg of Daxia.

At this moment, they even forgot about the bird in the sky. Their eyes were all focused on the members of the Daxia Hunting Team around them. Their faces were dull and their expressions were numb.

"More than two thousand, at least more than two thousand. How could there be so many people in the Digging Realm of Daxia..."

Xiang Liang looked around at the crowd, and at the Great Xia Digging Realm whose number was almost half of theirs, he felt as if his throat was blocked by something, and he couldn't utter a word for a long time.

In the crowd, his father Xiang Ping was already stunned at this moment, with only horror and numbness in his heart.

Let’s not talk about the shock that Xiang Liang and five or six thousand other people felt.

The bird in the sky was almost buried by the rain of arrows.

Although the wind generated by its wings was very strong, it could not withstand the iron arrows. There were too many of them and the range was so wide that it almost covered its body.

Although most of the iron arrows were blown away by it, many of them still pierced its feathers. It was unclear whether they penetrated its flesh and blood, but judging from the slowdown in the flapping speed of its wings, it was obvious that it was affected quite a lot.

Normally at this point, the bird should have flown away.

"唳……"

However, after a louder and angrier cry, it, which had been hovering in the air, suddenly spread its wings and swooped down towards the main building.

"What a courage!"

"Dare to rush down."

"Spread out, keep calling out, and don't let it get close to the main building."

…………

Luo Yuan and other captains of the intermediate hunting teams were instantly furious when they saw the birds swooping down towards the wooden building. They told everyone to continue shooting arrows, while they threw away their longbows, drew their weapons, and rushed towards the wooden building.

After all, it is a bird with the ability to fly in the air. The best way to hurt it is still with a bow. But since it rushed down without caring about its life, Luo Yuan and others would not miss such a good opportunity.

Besides, the wooden building is very important.

Especially the top floor, which is where the leader practices in seclusion.

Of course, no one would let this evil beast get close to them.

"Go back all!"

However, Luo Yuan and others had just approached the wooden building.

A sharp voice came from upstairs.

Whoosh……

Then, an iron arrow suddenly pierced through the roof.

The sound made by the iron arrow breaking through the air was so crisp and sharp that it immediately covered up the sound of the iron arrows shot by other people below.

Puff...the iron arrow flew out in less than a breath of time.

The crisp sound of the arrow piercing through flesh and blood was heard by everyone below.

"Wow..."

The bird was just ten meters away from the roof, and this time its cry not only lost all its previous ferocity, but was instead filled with pain.

There was even a hint of fear and panic.

Puff puff……

It looked at the main building, its pupils suddenly froze. After just a moment, it seemed to realize something, and immediately flapped its wings in panic, quickly turned around and ran away.

Unfortunately, it’s too close.

It no longer has a chance.

call…………

A black figure suddenly jumped high from the roof of the building and instantly soared to a height of more than ten meters, his body towering above the birds.

The man was wearing a slim black suit. Although he looked very young, his eyes and brows were extremely sharp. He held a broad sword in his hand and chopped down at the bird's head from mid-air.

call…………

The giant sword chopped down, but it did not bring out the sword edge, but a thunderous force of crushing. The terrifying force made the snowflakes around freeze, and the sky above the entire wooden building seemed to pause for a moment.

boom…………

The bird, which was in a hurry to turn around, was hit on the head, blood spurted out, and its huge body staggered in the air and almost fell down.

"唳……"

The bird's cry no longer had any ferocity, only panic and fear remained.

It turned its body wildly, flapped its wings, and leaped into the sky.

"Want to run? Is it that easy?"

Since everyone below had stopped shooting arrows, the black-clothed young man's sneer reached everyone's ears extremely clearly.

Everyone looked closely and realized that when he swung the broadsword with his right hand, his left hand had actually grabbed the bird's neck.

"what…………"

The man shouted loudly, exerted force with his left hand, and actually pulled the bird back that was flapping its wings into the air.

Not only did he pull it back, he also pulled the bird down from the sky with it.

Since the battle took place right above the main building, the man in black was worried that the bird's body would hit the roof if it fell, so he actually changed direction and pulled the bird's body directly in front of the main building.

Bang…bang…bang…bang…

After landing, the man in black dropped the broadsword in his hand, grabbed the bird's legs with both hands, and began to destroy it crazily.

There was no fancy swordsmanship, nor was there any need to draw a bow and arrow like Luo Yuan and the others. The young man in black just grabbed the legs and smashed the huge body of the bird to the ground repeatedly, left and right.

"How terrifying is this person's power......"

"That bird, couldn't fly just now?"

"What can't fly? It can't even flutter."

"Is he dead already?"

“Gudong…”

…………

More than 5,000 people including the four Flying Tigers just watched as Feikui died completely in the hands of the young man in black without even being able to utter a scream.

"Leader, this must be the leader of Daxia..."

Xiang Liang looked at the young man in black, his eyes full of admiration and worship.

too strong!
It was a mid-level flying cold beast. Even though so many people were shooting arrows at it, it was useless.

The young man in black solved the problem in less than five minutes.

Is this the leader of Daxia?

Too strong, this is too strong!
However, the next second, many people in Daxia said

Xiang Liang's expression froze instantly.

"Master Si Zheng is mighty!"

"Lord Yuwen has also come out of seclusion, hahaha, awesome!"

"Congratulations, Master Si Zheng, for your breakthrough."

………………

This person is not even the leader!
Si Zheng?

Not even Si Cheng?
Gulp...

Xiang Liang looked at the man in black, his pupils widened and his face full of disbelief.

The man in black, Yuwen Tao, saw that Feikua had lost his breath, and his pupils showed a hint of excitement. After a long time, he put down Feikua's legs, turned around and looked at the people outside the main building who congratulated him, and smiled:

"Hey, come on, you're almost there..."

Looking at the five or six thousand people in the middle of the main building, and then looking at Xu Ning, Lin Kai and others beside him, he immediately realized something and said with a smile: "Not bad, Xu Ning, there are so many people at once, I will record your great achievement again."

Xu Ning immediately stepped forward, smiled and said, "Thank you for your good words, sir."

"Five to six thousand people, more than a hundred Digging Realm prisoners, the contribution value alone is two to three hundred thousand. I remember that there were only twelve teams stationed in Wuyuan. You guys made a lot of money this time!"

The smiles on Xu Ning, Lin Kai and the other three's faces suddenly became even more intense.

"Stop talking nonsense, clean up the floor, Yuwen Tao, Xu Ning, Lin Kai, Lu Yang, all come up!"

At this moment, the clear voice from before came again from the third floor.

Upon hearing the voice, Yuwen Tao below immediately stopped chatting and went up to the third floor with Lin Kai, Lu Yang and Xu Ning.

Xiang Liang stood there, looking up at the third floor, his face full of curiosity.

The owner of this clear voice should be of a higher status than the black-clad Si Zheng Yuwen Tao. Is he the Si Cheng they mentioned before, or the leader of the Daxia camp?
"By the way, you come up with me too and bring the things with you!"

When Xiang Liang was thinking, he was suddenly pulled by the person next to him. He looked up and found that Xu Ning in front of the wooden building was pointing at him.

Realizing that Xu Ning was calling him to go up, Xiang Liang showed excitement on his face. He quickly clenched the wooden box in his hand, rushed out of the crowd and ran over.

"Who is this person?"

Yuwen Tao led the four of them up the stairs. When they were about to reach the third floor, he looked at Xiang Liang who was following them and asked curiously.

Xu Ning quickly replied, "His name is Xiang Liang. He is from one of the four families in the north of Wuyuan Mountain. He has something good in his hand and wants to present it to the leader. I have seen it and it is indeed a treasure. I will bring him here to meet you first."

"For the leader?"

There was a strange look in Yuwen Tao's eyes. He nodded and said nothing more.

Xiang Liang, who was behind, realized that he would most likely meet the leader of Daxia, and his mood instantly became excited.

Of course, he did not forget to look at Xu Ning with gratitude.

Xu Ning was willing to give him the opportunity to present the treasure in person, which was no small favor.

Xiang Liang lowered his head and respectfully followed the four people. He went up the wooden stairs to the third floor and came directly to the porch. After walking along the porch for a while, he came to the front of a vermilion door.

The door was open. Xiang Liang, with his head lowered, could only see the gorgeous wooden floor carved with animal patterns. Realizing that there was an important person inside, he did not dare to look up.

"Wait here for a while. I'll call you later. Then come in."

"Yes, my lord!"

Xiang Liang answered respectfully. Only after Xu Ning and the others entered did he dare to raise his head slightly and look curiously into the vermilion gate.

Upon seeing this, his previous worldview collapsed in an instant.

A solemn and majestic hall came into view, with a magnificent golden roof, statues of cold beasts of various shapes, eight majestic and powerful golden load-bearing columns, dozens of animal-shaped coal stoves made of pure iron, and the three-legged round tripod in the center...

Everything that was dizzying before his eyes had a great impact on Xiang Liang's soul. He looked a little dazed, and his inner inferiority complex instantly reached its peak.

He couldn't see the situation at the back of the hall clearly. He could only see five figures chatting over there. He couldn't hear any voices. He just held the wooden box in his hand and waited anxiously.

"You can come in!"

Finally, half an hour later, Xu Ning's voice came from the hall.

Xiang Liang's body trembled slightly. He straightened his messy animal skin clothes first, then slowly stepped over the threshold and walked into the hall with a nervous expression.

"This is my only chance, I must seize it."

Looking at the wooden box in his hand, Xiang Liang took a deep breath and continued walking inside.
