Endless Winter: My Camp Infinite Upgrades

Chapter 221: Sending a letter to kill someone

Longshan is located more than 50 kilometers west of Fengchao.

Fifty-odd kilometers doesn't sound like much.

But for the people of Bingyuan, it is already a very long distance.

Daxia's current sphere of influence is supposedly quite wide, but with Shuanglong Valley as the starting point, the range of activities of Daxia camp personnel is no more than as far south as Xinghe, and then turns east to Wuyuan. The total distance is only more than 30 kilometers.

Without considering the dangers that might be encountered along the way, just the extremely cold environment of the Ice Abyss, let alone the Digging Realm, even at the Cold Resistance Realm, it would not be an easy task to cross fifty kilometers of unfamiliar territory.

Therefore, for most people in the Ice Abyss, it is very likely that they will never be able to cross the distance of more than 50 kilometers in their lifetime.

"Of course, other places can't do that, but our Hive can. There are two campsites in the southeast of Pingxi Plain, adjacent to Hongmu Ridge. One is ours, and the other is Yang Campground..."

On the snow west of the Beehive Camp, three iron-wheeled carts, one small and two large, were driven slowly westward.

In front of the last truck loaded with iron ore, an older man was talking about the difficulty of crossing more than fifty kilometers.

"Let's go west for thirteen kilometers and we will enter the jurisdiction of Yanglu. If we go west for another fifteen kilometers, we will enter the jurisdiction of Yucheng Camp. After we pass Yucheng Camp, we will be able to see Longshan."

"Uncle Ma, how long will it take to get to Longshan?"

At the front of the team, a young man in smart clothes and holding a sword, upon hearing what the older man said, he immediately took a few steps back and asked with a curious look on his face.

"Young master!"

The middle-aged man surnamed Ma saw the young man and immediately bowed. After thinking for a moment, he said, "In the past, the annual tribute was one million catties of coal and iron, and only one truck was needed, so it was faster to travel by foot, and it only took eight days to arrive. This time, two trucks were brought, so the speed was much slower. I estimate that it will take at least twelve days."

“So slow!”

"I can't say it's slow, young master. Traveling in Bingyuan is different from hunting. When hunting, our goal is clear, which is to find cold beasts. Traveling is different. Someone has to clear the snow path, and there are so many people pulling the cart. Moreover, there are gullies and gullies on the road, and there are many pits in the snow. It's impossible to go fast. Walking five or six kilometers a day is already fast. In special circumstances, even if you only walk three or four kilometers a day, it is normal..."

Hearing this, the young man turned around and looked at the four people in front of him who were frantically clearing the snow trail with rakes. He nodded slightly, a look of approval on his face.

…………

Behind the cart, Xia Hong was pushing the cart forward with a few others. Hearing the conversation between Chen Yuan and Ma Yong, he looked up and gazed ahead, with an expression of approval on his face.

Ma Yong is the No. 1 member of Chen Yingba's hunting team. According to Chen Yingba's ranking rules for team members, he is the strongest among the twenty-five members.

This is indeed the case. According to Xia Hong's observation, Ma Yong's basic strength is more than 60,000 pounds, which is indeed higher than that of the other 23 people.

Of course, strength comes second.

The key is that Mayon is older and has good experience.

More than fifty kilometers is an extremely long distance that most people in the Ice Abyss have never walked in their entire lives. What Ma Yong just said is absolutely correct.

Due to the year-round snowfall, the snow on the ground of Bingyuan is really too thick. The situation is slightly better in areas with high vegetation coverage and frequent human activities, but in places like Pingxiyuan, the situation is even more exaggerated.

The four people in front who were clearing the snow basically never stopped using their rakes, and those who were pushing the carts would take turns with them from time to time.

Even so, this group of people started out at nightfall on April 2nd and have been walking westward for ten hours, which is equivalent to half a night, and have only walked about three kilometers.

"Walking here in Pingxiyuan is several times slower than walking in Daxia, but the most important thing is these two large trucks loaded with iron ore. If there were no these two trucks, the speed would be much faster."

Xia Hong looked at the two large trucks with a hint of helplessness in his eyes.

If he were alone, he would definitely not walk so slowly.

After thinking about it, he looked up at the front of the team.

The smallest car at the head was pulled by only two people. On the car was a small room three meters long. There were some decorations hanging around the room, and a flag on the top with the word "beehive" inscribed on it.

"This Chen Yingyuan really knows how to enjoy himself. He actually got himself a car to sit in alone, and even equipped it with a heater. He is so extravagant and licentious..."

Looking at the smoke rising from the roof of the small car in front, Xia Hong sighed slightly and wished he could pull Chen Yingyuan off the car and take his place.

Of course, this is just a joke!

Xia Hong's eyes narrowed slightly. Judging from Chen Yingyuan's control of the departure time, he should want to meet up with Yang Lu and Yu Cheng's teams halfway.

You don’t have to guess that they wanted to meet before the alliance because of Hou Hu’s matter.

From what I overheard last time, the five camps of Xiling, Baiyuan, Dongkang, Wushuang and Hanqiong have all switched sides to Zhaoyang. The Beehive is still in a state of uncertainty due to Chen Yingyuan's hesitation.

Xia Hong was still unclear about the attitudes of the other four companies.

"The attitudes of the Yanglu and Yucheng families should affect Chen Yingyuan's final decision. If nothing unexpected happens, these three families should be of the same blood. Once they lean towards Zhaoyang, Longshan will be in real danger. It's a good opportunity to follow Chen Yingyuan to see what's going on. When we get to Longshan, we can watch the fun!"

Xia Hong touched his face to reinforce the mask, then pretended to push the cart hard and continued to move west with the team.

………………

April 15, the second year of Daxia

Ten miles north of Jing Valley, in the same tree hole, Luo Ming, Luo Cheng and his son, along with Li Baihe, were sitting around a campfire waiting.

Luo Cheng was fine, his face was full of anticipation, while the two adults, Luo Ming and Li Baihe, looked expectant yet anxious, with a hint of panic at the same time.

"The fire in the south has been burning for more than half an hour. Someone in Jinggu should have discovered it. Why hasn't Yue Feng come yet after such a long time?"

Luo Ming couldn't sit still, so he stood up and looked outside the tree hole. He found that no one came yet, and his expression suddenly became more anxious.

"Today is not a trading day, they may not have sent anyone here!"

Li Baihe spoke in a deep voice, his face looking a little impatient.

It wasn't a trading day, which meant that the three of them came here without permission.

There were no cold beasts in the area north of Jinggu, so coming here on a non-trading day would easily arouse suspicion. Plus, the two of them already had something to hide, so they were naturally nervous at the moment.

"Brother, why don't we go directly to Jinggu?"

"No, Jinggu is ten miles away from here. It would take even longer for the three of us to go back and forth. If we are discovered by others, we will have no way to explain ourselves."

Li Baihe's proposal was immediately rejected by Luo Ming.

But he couldn't think of any better suggestions at the moment. After a long time, he shook his head helplessly and said, "Forget it, let's go back first and try again next time..."

"Brother Luo, Brother Luo, do you have something to ask me?"

Just then, a soft call suddenly came from the door.

Luo Mingteng stood up suddenly, his face full of joy. He quickly took his son's hand and jumped out of the tree hole with Li Baihe.

Sure enough, under the big tree, Yue Feng, dressed in black, was standing quietly, with a strong bow on his back and a long sword on his waist. Seeing that it was not only Luo Ming who came down, he took a quick glance and immediately recognized the two of them.

"Brother Li, if I remember correctly, this is Brother Luo's son Luo Cheng?"

"Master Yue Feng has good eyesight. Cheng'er, come and greet the master!"

Luo Cheng hurriedly walked up to Yue Feng and bowed.

"Greetings, Master Yue Feng!"

"No need to be so polite, Brother Luo, your son has good talent."

Yue Feng took a quick glance and saw that Luo Cheng's basic strength was already more than 6,800 pounds. After taking a closer look, he found that he was no more than ten years old. A look of surprise immediately appeared on his face.

"Thank you for the compliment, my Lord!"

Hearing someone praising his son, Luo Ming's face naturally lit up, and he said a little modestly. He did not forget his business, and hurriedly took out from his arms the letter that Xia Hong had given him earlier, as well as a beast skin scroll that he had prepared himself.

Yue Feng took the letter and the animal skin scroll calmly. Seeing that the letter had not been opened yet, he did not rush to open it, but looked at the animal skin scroll first.

Seeing the contents on the animal skin scroll, Yue Feng suddenly looked up at Luo Ming.

"Your Excellency should be able to understand. This is the precise location of the Hive Station, as well as the topographic map of the defenses of the 32 passages in the station. I drew it myself. In addition, the letter was given to me by Master Hong Yu to hand over to Master Yue Feng five days ago!"

Hearing the name Hong Yu, Yue Feng's face immediately became solemn. He quickly put the animal skin scroll into his pocket, then opened the letter and began to read.

When Yue Feng saw the contents of the letter, his expression changed continuously. He didn't put the letter into his arms until he finished reading it. Then he looked up at Luo Ming and the other two, and his gaze was completely different from before.

"Luo Ming, Li Baihe, from today on, you are all members of Daxia. You will be temporarily under the command of Jinggu. I am the garrison commander of Jinggu. From now on, you can find a way to inform me of any situation in the hive."

Hearing Yue Feng's words, Luo Ming and Li Baihe were immediately overjoyed, and at the same time they bowed to him and said respectfully:
"Luo Ming, hello, sir!"

Hong Yu's status in Daxia was indeed not low. A letter was enough to make Yue Feng accept him. Cheng'er also had a backer. Thinking of this, Luo Ming's attitude suddenly became more respectful.

"Li Baihe, meet your Excellency!"

As for Li Baihe, he had been observing the changes in Yue Feng's expression since Yue Feng opened the letter. He saw clearly the respect on Yue Feng's face just now, and after hearing what Yue Feng said at this moment, he was almost 100% sure of Hong Yu's true identity.

"Luo Cheng is coming back with me this time, and he will stay in Daxia from now on."

"Thank you, sir!"

Yue Feng waved his hand, and suddenly looked up at the side of the tree. His eyes focused slightly, and he said in a deep voice: "Luo Ming, remember to be careful next time you come here..."

Luo Ming and Li Baihe were both stunned, including Luo Cheng. The three of them didn't understand what Yue Feng meant by this.

Whoosh……

But soon, Yue Feng turned into a gust of wind and disappeared before their eyes.

The expressions of the three of them were stunned for a moment.

"So fast!"

Luo Ming and Li Baihe's expressions froze and they quickly turned to look to the flank.

laugh…………

A flash of sword light cut through the darkness, cutting off a piece of the earth slope on the side of the tree, and the snow on the ground burst open instantly.

Step…step…step…step…step…

Four figures leaped out one after another quickly from the back of the slope.

"Luo Ming, you are indeed colluding with Daxia. I will go back and report this to the Second Chief and Captain Chen..."

"Can you go back?"

Although the panicked and embarrassed voice was interrupted by Yue Feng, Luo Ming and Li Baihe's faces still changed in shock and they rushed over there.

“It’s Lu Sheng!”

"Someone actually followed us. This is terrible."

call…………

Before the two of them could rush over, a corpse appeared under the slope and was thrown out by Yue Feng with a sword.

Yue Feng wasn't even picking them randomly. He was carrying the corpse and ramming it into the slowest of the four people who had just escaped.

boom…………

Luo Ming and Li Baihe had just rushed to the edge of the slope when they saw the corpse that Yue Feng had thrown flying had knocked the man to the ground, causing him to vomit blood. Their eyes froze instantly.

"Yue Feng, what is your strength?"

"More than two months ago, his strength was obviously about the same as mine..."

Before Luo Ming and the other man had calmed down from their shock, Yue Feng moved again.

After killing two people in a row, he jumped and chased after the third person, who was the fastest runner Lu Sheng. While chasing Lu Sheng, he even took off the longbow on his back, drew the bow and shot six arrows in succession at the other two.

Six arrows were shot out, but Yue Feng didn't even look at them, because he was less than ten meters away from Lu Sheng.

Puff…Puff…

The sounds of six iron arrows piercing flesh and blood rang out one after another, and the two people who escaped the farthest were directly killed to the bottom.

Luo Ming and Li Baihe's faces were already numb as they watched the six iron arrows nail the two men's bodies directly to the big tree behind them.

"What kind of bow is that? Why do I feel like the arrows it shoots are stronger than my strength?"

"Not only the bow, Yue Feng's archery accuracy is even more terrifying!"

…………

"Lu Sheng, I remember that it was you, a bastard, who went back to tip off the police last time. This time, you finally fell into my hands!"

When Yue Feng heard Luo Ming's voice just now, he was stunned for a moment. Now he moved closer to see the other person's face clearly and recognized that this person was Lu Sheng who had previously broken into the valley to steal iron ore. A grim smile suddenly appeared on his face, and the long sword in his hand suddenly accelerated.

Yue Feng's spear was like the wind, cutting through the snowflakes and heading straight for Lu Sheng's neck;
Realizing that he had no way to avoid it, Lu Sheng could only grit his teeth, turn back, and raise the long sword in his hand to block.

clang…………

The swords collided violently, and micro shock waves gradually spread out, scattering all the snowflakes on the ground and in the air around them.

Lu Sheng had not yet recovered from Yue Feng's terrifying power. He looked down at his sword with a rolled blade and immediately used the force to retreat violently.

Can't stay for a moment...

Yue Feng's basic strength is at least ten thousand pounds higher than his own!

As soon as this thought popped up in Lu Sheng's mind, he retreated more than ten meters and quickly turned around to flee towards the northern camp.

Whoosh……

However, just after he ran away for a dozen meters, a streaking iron arrow suddenly struck from the flank, cutting off his way.

Although the iron arrow was fast, Lu Sheng, who had an overwhelming desire to survive, reacted even faster.

He suddenly turned sideways in the air to avoid the iron arrow, but at the same time he realized that the situation was even more dangerous, and his escape speed increased a lot.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh……

Unfortunately, he was completely dumbfounded the next second!

On both sides, and even in front of him as he was fleeing, more than ten iron arrows were rushing towards him from three directions.

The sound of arrows breaking through the air was whistling, and it was useless for Lu Sheng to move faster this time.

Pfft…………

In the end, three iron arrows pierced his cheek, abdomen, and calf respectively. After a scream, he fell directly to the ground.

Looking at Yue Feng who was approaching madly from behind.

Lu Sheng showed fear on his face and raised his head to beg for mercy.

Pfft…………

It’s a pity that Yue Feng didn’t give him any chance at all.

With one slash of the knife, Lu Sheng's head and body were separated and he died tragically on the spot.

Yue Feng looked at Lu Sheng's body with a hint of cruelty in his eyes.

Last time, it was because of this person who tipped off Chen Yingba and led him to Jinggu.

If Xia Hong had not appeared in time later, he would have definitely died.

Now that he has run into her this time, he will certainly not show mercy!

Yue Feng put away his sword, turned around and looked at the ten members of the Shanhe team on both sides, a smile appeared on his face, and he waved his hand and said:
"Take the three injured back and clean up the ground."

"Yes, my lord!"

Without any prior notification, Luo Ming suddenly signaled that he wanted to see him. Yue Feng was naturally prepared. Before he came, he brought ten members of the hunting team and asked them to ambush in the surrounding area.

………………

Not far away, Luo Ming, Li Baihe, and Luo Cheng, who were on the slope, were already stunned at this moment, especially when they saw the ten members of the Shanhe team wearing light gold armor appearing behind them. They were horrified and their expressions were moved to the extreme.

"Are these all Yue Feng's subordinates?"

"What are they wearing? It looks a bit like iron, but it seems to be a little more advanced than iron!"

"It seems to be made of... Lei Kui's hardest skull and iron."

"How strong is Daxia?"

………………

Luo Ming and Li Baihe, after all, had some good eyesight. Although the equipment of the ten members under Yue Feng was very eye-catching, they could still tell where they came from.

But Luo Cheng, who was still a child, was different.

As soon as he saw the light golden armor, he couldn't take his eyes away.

Moreover, those ten men not only carried longbows and various main weapons in their hands, but also had short knives and daggers on their waists.

Such luxurious, sophisticated and complete weapons and equipment instantly made his longing and yearning for Daxia even stronger.

"Luo Ming, you two go back first, Luo Cheng follow me!"

Li Baihe nodded respectfully. Luo Ming walked to his son and said a few words to him before following Li Baihe and leaving towards the north.

Yue Feng, on his side, took Luo Cheng and ten team members back to Jing Valley.

"I still have some impression of the valley. It's only been two years, so the changes shouldn't be that big. No, there should still be changes. Daxia is so powerful now, and the base must have become much better..."

Luo Cheng followed Yue Feng and the other eleven people. He realized that he would soon see Da Xia’s base, and he gradually became excited.
