Endless Winter: My Camp Infinite Upgrades

Chapter 25: Nine Towns of Moao Mountain

Luo Ming’s spear was the longest, so he was the first to stab the wooden puppet.

However, the extremely sharp spear tip suddenly stopped after piercing the wooden puppet's chest and was unable to move forward even an inch.

But there was no surprise on Luo Ming's face.

Obviously, he knew that he could not break the opponent's body.

At the same time, Li Hu's goose-feather knife also chopped on the legs of the wooden puppet.

clang……

It’s a pity that after the attack, only a sound was made.

Until the last moment when the long sword was about to cut through his body, a trace of fear appeared on the wooden puppet's face. He first turned his head to avoid it, and then the fingers of his right hand moved slightly.

Boom...click...

Suddenly, there was an earth-shaking sound.

The tree closest to the four people began to shake violently.

Then, the tree suddenly rose up from the ground, as if it had life, and its branches began to sway like human arms.

Soon after that, the second, third, and even the eighth tree nearby came to life. They all stood up from the ground, used their branches to gain leverage on the ground, and quickly gathered around the center.

Thousands and thousands of branches on the eight trees stretched out towards the three people like snakes and monsters. Not only were they moving at a very fast speed, but they also surrounded the three people without leaving any space, leaving them no room to escape.

Just now, the three of them surrounded the wooden puppet.

Unexpectedly, the offense and defense changed in an instant.

Luo Ming looked a little panicked, but Li Hu was relatively calm. He just looked at the young man with the sword, waiting for him to make a decision.

"It will be troublesome to get entangled, let's break these trees first!"

Hearing the young man's words, Luo Ming Li Hu responded immediately, slashing with his spear horizontally and vertically, and chopping left and right with his long knife. In an instant, countless branches and vines were cut off.

The young man in the lead was even more amazing. With the flying sword, he not only cut off the vines and branches, but even cut off the trunks of three or four large trees.

However, the young man raised his eyebrows, realized something, and quickly turned his head to look in the direction of the wooden puppet, his face suddenly became extremely ugly.

There was no trace of the wooden puppet at all.

"I've been fooled. These trees haven't been made into puppets yet!"

As if to prove his words, the big trees that were baring their fangs and claws suddenly lost their spirituality, and all the vines and branches fell off, and then collapsed to the ground with a loud bang.

Seeing Luo Ming escape, the young man breathed a sigh of relief. He sneered and said, "Captain Luo, don't be too happy too soon. This craftsman ghost can control eight trees of this size at the same time. It is estimated that it is not far from the intermediate level. Once it breaks through, there will be no chance for you camps around Redwood Ridge to survive."

Hearing this, Luo Ming's face suddenly became nervous and confused.

Just as he was about to speak, Shi Qing came running over with four others.

When they came in front of the three people, they knelt down and prostrated themselves on the ground.
"I am Shi Qing from Dashi Camp. I would like to thank you two adults. Chief Luo, I will never forget your life-saving grace."

Luo Ming was in no mood at the moment, but he had a good impression of Shi Qing, so he stepped forward and helped him up, saying softly: "Thank you for being polite, Shitou. I am no match for that weird monster. If you want to thank someone, thank the two adults in the Beishuo camp!"

Remembering that Shi Qing didn't know the two of them, he went on to introduce their names.

"This is Lord Yang Ning, and this is Lord Li Hu."

Beishuo Camp?

Although Shi Qing was somewhat confused when he heard the unfamiliar name of the camp, he still led the four people to quickly turn around and kowtowed three times to Yang and Li respectively.

Although I had guessed it just now, Luo Ming's status was lower than the other two.

But when Shi Qing heard Luo Ming calling them "sirs", he couldn't help but feel shocked.

Luo Ming is the leader of the only medium-sized camp around Redwood Ridge, the Rogue Camp, and also the strongest master in the Digging Realm.

Even he calls him "Sir", so what level is the Beishuo camp where Yang and Li are located?
Large camp, giant camp?
After all, he had too little experience, and these were the only two guesses that came to Shi Qing's mind.

In fact, neither the five of them nor Luo Ming just now noticed that when the word "camp" was mentioned, Yang Ning and Li Hu frowned slightly, and some contempt flashed across their faces.

But they seemed disdainful and did not open their mouths to explain.

"My Lords, I would like to ask why this wooden puppet is called a craftsman and what it wants. Why will our camps around Hongmu Ridge be doomed if it breaks through to the intermediate level? Please help me solve this puzzle."

After helping Shi Qing and others up, Luo Ming finally couldn't help but asked about the confusion in his heart.

His question made both Yang and Li frown slightly.

Li Hu shook his head and spoke with disdain.

"I don't know how you have survived in Bingyuan for so long and are so ignorant."

Yang Ning looked around at everyone including Luo Ming, and saw the animal skin skirts they were wearing. A trace of sympathy flashed across his eyes, and he sighed:

"It's not your fault that you live in such an environment. This is the first time you've heard the word Bingyuan, right?"

Luo Ming, Shi Qing, and others all nodded slightly.

Indeed, they had never heard of the Ice Abyss and did not know what it was.

Bingyuan, this is indeed the first time I've heard of it.

Yang Ning and Li Hu looked at each other, and both of them showed an expression of "as expected".

"Bingyuan is the name given to this world by the great Lord Yang Zun. It means the Ice Abyss. This name has been recognized by all humans in the nine towns on the southern foot of Mount Moao. From now on, you must remember these two words firmly."

When the word "Yang Zun" was mentioned, both Yang Ning and Li Hu showed expressions of great respect and even piety on their faces.

What could make two such powerful people behave like this made Luo Ming, Shi Qing and others feel shocked and curious.

"May I ask what Yang... No, Moao Mountain and Jiuzhen you two adults are talking about?"

Luo Ming originally wanted to ask about Yang Zun, but as soon as he said the word Yang, he was frightened by the sudden looks from Yang Ning and Li Hu, so he abruptly gave the question back and turned to ask about Mo'ao Mountain and the Nine Towns.

"Calling him by his name without adding the Great Lord prefix is ​​a capital crime in Bingyuan. Considering your lowliness and ignorance, I will forgive you this time. If you dare to do it again in the future, don't blame me for being merciless!"

To call him by his name without adding the prefix of the great lord is a capital crime.

Luo Ming shuddered slightly. He could hear the murderous intent in Yang Ning's voice, and quickly bowed down to the two of them:
"It is Luo's fault for being so presumptuous and ignorant. I hope you will forgive me, sir."

Seeing him apologize, Yang Ning stopped pursuing the matter and continued:
"The Mo'ao Mountains are the largest mountain range in the southern part of the Ice Abyss. No one knows how long it is. What we know now is that our human camps all live on its southern slope.

As for the Nine Towns…"

Speaking of Jiuzhen, Yang Ning paused, looked down at Luo Ming, and smiled:
"It refers to the nine largest camps on the southern foot of Mount Moao."

Nine, the largest camp?

Luo Ming, Shi Qing, and several others all showed a trace of confusion on their faces.

Finally, Luo Ming asked tentatively: "Could it be that those nine are all giant camps with a population of over 5,000?"

"Hahahahaha..."

Luo Ming's words made Yang Ning and Li Hu burst out laughing.

The laughter of the two was filled with contempt for Luo Ming's ignorance.

This made Luo Ming feel a little embarrassed, but he could only smile awkwardly.

It was Shi Qing who gave him a sympathetic look.

Although the two felt uncomfortable, they were still very curious about how big the nine largest camps mentioned by Yang Ning and Li Hu were.

After laughing, Li Hu resolved the two people's doubts.

"There are nine town-level camps on the southern foot of Mount Moao, and each one has a population of over 100,000."

One...ten thousand?

When Luo Ming, Shi Qing, and the other four heard this number, their expressions suddenly froze, with huge waves in their hearts.

"And we are from Beishuo Town, one of the nine towns!"

Seemingly very satisfied with everyone's reaction, Li Hu raised his head when he said this, his face full of pride and his tone full of pride.
