Endless Winter: My Camp Infinite Upgrades

Chapter 32: The Cold Beast Attacks
After the small fire is upgraded to an iron smelting furnace, its function is greatly improved.

The range of the temperature rise has expanded from ten meters to a hundred meters.

The deterrent killing capability has been greatly improved, but the standard is still unclear;

You can burn coal directly to make iron;

The function of the small torch is still there;

And, most importantly, there is the newly added special item, fire-condensing oil.

The touch will ignite!

The memory of the first time he summoned a small fire and burned the fake Xia Ding to ashes in an instant came to his mind again, and Xia Hong instantly became very excited about the function of the fire-condensing oil.

This fire-condensing oil is simply the best weapon to deal with monsters!
To be honest, although Xia Hong has been to Hongmu Ridge many times during this period, he still feels a little uneasy every time.

As more and more people from the logging industry came to the camp, he was basically not afraid of the cold beasts that he could encounter on the outskirts. The only thing he was unsure about was the strange monsters.

Of course, small torches can also be used, but the problem is that there are limited numbers of small torches, and at most they can be held in your hands to scare monsters. You can't expect the monster to stand there and let you burn it.

Moreover, the burning time of the small torch is limited, only fifteen minutes.

Fire oil is different. The liquid is not only easy to carry, but also inconspicuous.

The most important thing is that it is harmless to humans, but will ignite when touched by evil.

These eight words alone are enough to write a big article.

As the flames became smaller, the simple fire pit that was originally made of earth blocks had turned into a round stove with a diameter of more than one meter and a height of two meters.

"Hey, how did this fire become a stove?"

The first person who saw it exclaimed in surprise, attracting everyone to come and watch. Those who came close to the stove felt the warmth from the stove, and when they looked at Xia Hong again, there was obviously a lot more enthusiasm in their eyes.

When the cave was first hit by a disaster, the scene in which Xia Hong summoned fire out of thin air was seen by only a few people, but through word of mouth, almost everyone in the camp knew about it.

But after all, most people have only heard about it, and many people think it is fabricated and don't take it seriously.

But this time it was different. The bonfire was turned into a stove right under everyone's eyes. All of a sudden, Xia Hong's status in everyone's hearts was raised again.

Of course Xia Hong wouldn't explain anything.

Although creating gods is not desirable, it depends on the situation.

At this moment when the Daxia camp is on the verge of despair, a leader with powerful and mysterious means can play an extremely important role in both rallying the group and enhancing everyone's confidence in facing the future.

The people in the camp were actually okay. Xia Chuan, Yuan Cheng and the seven people from the logging team had witnessed how powerful Little Torch was and the strength he displayed against the cold beasts. Their fanaticism towards him was no less than that of the people in front of them.

Everyone in the Daxia camp had an idea in their minds:
Xia Hong is very powerful and has mastered some kind of mysterious power. He can not only hunt cold beasts, but also defeat and repel monsters. He is also generous and willing to increase the crystal fruit quota for everyone so that everyone can have enough to eat. At the same time, he is also selfless and willing to share the cold beast meat with everyone to improve everyone's strength.
Following this concept, everyone came to a consensus:
Only if Xia Hong is the leader can he live longer and better.

Xia Hong didn't have the ability to read minds, so he didn't know what everyone was thinking, but from the way other people looked at him, he could easily tell two things:

One thing is that his status in these people's hearts is constantly improving at a terrifying speed.

Another point is that everyone in the camp, whether it is my younger brother Xiachuan and the members of the logging team, or other ordinary people, from the middle-aged to the children, gradually have a longing for life and hope for the future in their eyes.

…………

In the following days, Xia Hong did not lead the team to Hongmu Ridge again.

Although the daily consumption of burning wood after upgrading to an iron smelting furnace has doubled compared to before, consuming 4 points of wood every day, but Xia Hong currently has an excess of wood resources.

470 units of wood resources are enough to last for more than three months even if they don't go out. In addition, there are still more than kilograms of crystal fruits that were stockpiled some time ago, so it's no problem not to go out in the short term. Xia Hong also thought about going to Tashan to see if he could find the location of the Dashi camp and see what their situation is.

But thinking that the monster might be nearby, I gave up.

Firstly, although it was confirmed that the Dashi camp was on the other side of Tashan, the concealment of each camp was very high. Even if he went there, he would most likely not be able to find it. Even if he found it, if nothing happened to the camp, he would not be able to explain it clearly, which would easily cause conflicts.

Secondly, it was out of fear of that monster.

The first time, the other party should have been hiding in the dark and controlling the fake Xia Ding, so strictly speaking, until now, Xia Hong doesn’t even know what the monster looks like.

Although we now have means to deal with the monster, we know too little about it after all. If we contact it rashly, we will definitely suffer losses.

Due to various reasons, Xia Hong had no choice but to be patient and stay in the camp to lead everyone in training while studying ways to deal with the monsters.

"Practicing Changquan with me will not only help you improve your efficiency in absorbing the essence of the cold beast meat, but also have a more important effect, which is to improve your combat ability!"

By the fire, Xia Hong, with his upper body naked, kept punching in small movements with fierce winds, while explaining the essence of Taizu Changquan to the people around him.

“No matter what kind of martial arts you learn, in the final analysis, you are only practicing two things: reaction speed and explosive power. These two things are your greatest support and confidence when you fight against the enemy.

Reaction refers to the advance prediction of danger. Taking the cold beast as an example, before it raises its claws, you can judge from which direction it will attack and react in time, so that it cannot cause harm to you.

Explosive force is the maximum force generated in the shortest time and at the fastest speed. It is the strongest means of causing damage to the enemy, whether it is bare-handed or with a weapon, the principle is the same. "

Xia Hong's punching speed gradually increased. The strong wind from his punches made the stove whirr. At the same time, he continued:

“Although the basic strength of the Lumberjack Realm is 5,000 jin, that is the basic strength in a static state. Being able to lift something weighing 5,000 jin does not mean that you can punch with a 5,000 jin punch.

When you are really fighting an enemy, it is difficult for you to exert the force of 5,000 kilograms due to your body's reaction and movement limitations, so you must practice constantly to improve your muscles and get used to punching, so that you can exert your maximum strength. "

"The greater the range of motion of the human body, the more muscles are mobilized, and the greater the impact on the speed and power of the punch. Therefore, among the four routines of Taizu Changquan, Xiaozhan, Taizhan, Sanshou, and Hezhan, the simplest one is Xiaozhan Short Fighting."

Although Xia Hong's punching movements were fast, the range of his movements was limited to a few inches. Even so, the friction between his fist and the air still made a fierce whistling sound.

“You haven’t practiced the small battle routine for a long time, so you can only exert half of your basic strength at most. But as long as you practice diligently, you can punch with 80% of your strength like me.

Once you have mastered the small battle, I will teach you the Tai Battle routine, which combines fists, kicks and waist into one. Not only can you punch with 100% of your strength at will, but when you reach a high level, you can even burst out with strength that exceeds the limits of your body."

Xia Chuan and the others nodded excitedly. They had all been out with Xia Hong before and had witnessed him demonstrate the three styles of boxing: Xiaozhan, Taizhan, and Sanshou, so they knew very well how powerful this style of boxing was.

"In fact, the most powerful part of Changquan is its coordination with other soldiers..."

Dong dong dong......

Xia Hong was halfway through his words when he heard a sudden earth-shaking sound beneath his feet. His face suddenly changed and he looked up at the cave entrance.

All the people in the camp gathered around the stove stood up instantly and turned to look at the cave entrance.

"Something is coming?"

"Such a big commotion, it seems to be a cold beast?"

"We sealed the cave entrance, how could the cold beast find it?"

"It's daytime now. If we are discovered by the cold beast, we will be finished!"

…………

The faces of most people in the camp were immediately filled with despair.
