Endless Winter: My Camp Infinite Upgrades

Chapter 38 Please excuse us from accompanying you
On a snowy night, the dense white trees form the outline of Redwood Ridge.

Strong winds and loneliness are the main themes of this jungle and have never changed.

Although there were nine camps surrounding the area, and the total number of people in the early days added up to three to four thousand, it was still too few for an area as large as Redwood Ridge.

When the territory was divided, even a strong camp like the Rogue Camp only dared to operate within a one-kilometer area outside Redwood Ridge, not to mention the other eight camps, whose range of activities was only 500 meters outside the periphery.

This standard was not set randomly, but was explored by Luo Feng, the previous leader of the Rogue Camp, who led a hunting team at the cost of human lives.

In the outermost 500 meters of Redwood Ridge, there are basically only low-level cold beasts; further in, there are quite a few medium-level cold beasts; if you go further in, to within a thousand meters, there are basically only medium-level cold beasts.

The reason is simple. The further you go into Redwood Ridge, the bigger the trees grow. The cold beasts are creatures that like to live on trees, so the cold beasts that can occupy those big trees are definitely not good people.

Therefore, even though so many camps knew that there were inexhaustible resources deep in Redwood Ridge, no one dared to cross the line for so many years.

Including the only Rogue Camp with hunting qualifications.

Even low-level cold beasts mostly have a strength of over eight thousand kilograms, and stronger adult cold beasts have a strength of over ten thousand kilograms. If humans want to confront low-level cold beasts head-on, they must at least have the cultivation level of the Earth Digging Realm.

Not to mention those medium or even high-level cold beasts.

This is also one of the dilemmas of mankind.

Compared with them, the cold beasts seem to be the species favored by this world.

Luo Ming took over the position of leader from his father Luo Feng fifteen years ago. Although he had led the hunting team out countless times, he always abided by the rules and never went deeper than a thousand meters into Redwood Ridge.

So, when I first crossed the 1,000-meter mark.

He was still somewhat excited.

On the surface, there doesn't seem to be much difference between the inside and the outside, but if you look closely at the surrounding trees, you can find many details that are very different.

On the outskirts, the main tree species is Zhushuang, followed by Jinlin, and the least is Bingshuo. Here, the main tree species is Jinlin, followed by Zhushuang, and the least is Bingshuo. In addition to these three species, there are seven or eight other species that Luo Ming has never seen on the outskirts.

The second thing was the density of the cold beasts. Luo Ming raised his head and took a quick look. With his experience, he immediately saw that there were at least three cold beasts entrenched in the dozen or so trees around.

Moreover, judging by their physiques, two of them were of medium build.

This made Luo Ming unconsciously slow down his pace and try to make as little noise as possible.

Although the cold beast sleeps very soundly at night and will basically not wake up unless you provoke it, it is a medium-sized cold beast after all. If something unexpected happens, it will still be dangerous.

Luo Ming turned around and looked at Shi Qing who was following him. His face was still gloomy. He immediately stopped, walked to him and patted him on the shoulder:
"Shi Qing, don't worry. We are so close, and those two adults are watching. Your brother will be fine. Even if the wooden puppet ghost really comes, they have bone whistles. Once they blow, we will rush over to help."

Shi Qing forced a smile at first, then a hint of hesitation appeared on his face, and he was about to speak.

suddenly
Beep…………

As if to confirm Luo Ming's words, Shi Qing was just about to speak when a clear bone whistle sounded from the left.

The two men's faces changed color. Shi Qing was the first to react. He drew out the bow behind him and ran to the left with an iron arrow already nocked in his hand.

Luo Ming also quickly followed him, and in just a few breaths, the two of them arrived at the location where the bone whistle sounded.

But when they arrived and took a look, their faces suddenly changed.

Not far away, they saw Shi Dong limping towards them, with two figures chasing him from behind.

The reason why the two men's faces changed color was not because Shi Dong was being chased, but because of the two figures chasing him from behind. They both knew them.

"Wang Rui, Sun Xinzhu, what's going on with you? Why did you kill Shi Dong?"

"They are not Wang Rui and Sun Xinzhu. They have been replaced. They suddenly attacked me just now."

Shi Dong's voice was full of shock and anger. He ran while trying to draw his bow and shoot arrows at the two people behind him. However, he had an injury on his foot and his mind was in a state of panic, so he could not shoot accurately.

Whoosh……whoosh……

Fortunately, Shi Qing had already reacted by then. Wang Rui and Sun Xinzhu had dull expressions, which were obviously abnormal. Shi Qing confirmed that there was really something wrong with the two of them, and shot two arrows in succession, one on the left and one on the right, to prevent them from approaching Shi Dong.

After Shi Qing shot two arrows, Shi Dong was successfully rescued and rushed to him and Luo Ming.

Shi Dong was sweating profusely. He opened his leg and saw a wound about seven or eight inches long that was bleeding continuously. He casually grabbed a handful of snow and patted the wound. Then he raised his head and spoke to the two people:
"Just now in the woods, they said they were going to relieve themselves. In less than a quarter of an hour, they were replaced by that weirdo. My leg was cut by them."

Luo Ming and Shi Qing looked at each other, both of them had solemn expressions on their faces.

"Tiger, here."

"Where are you going, evil beast?"

Just as the two were about to speak, Yang Ning and Li Hu's loud shouts suddenly exploded not far away, and the two of them, including Shi Dong, turned their heads to look.

Two or three hundred meters away, Yang Ning and Li Hu, holding swords, had already rushed to the bottom of a tree that was six or seven meters thick.

Li Hu's brows furrowed slightly, and after looking at Yang Ning, he tightened his hands holding the knife, took a deep breath, and bulged his arm muscles. He raised the knife over his back, facing the tree in front of him, and chopped it down horizontally.

Could it be that... he wanted to cut down that big tree?
How is it possible to cut it off with one sword?

This question flashed through Luo Ming's mind, and the answer immediately came to his mind.

"impossible!"

The goose-feather knife in Li Hu's hand was less than two meters long.

The diameter of that tree alone is six or seven meters.

Crack...Bang...

However, even from a distance of two or three hundred meters, the crisp sound of trees breaking still reached this side.

A big tree with a diameter of six or seven meters was cut down with one stroke.

After the big tree fell to the ground, a figure in black jumped out from the treetop. It was the wooden puppet that appeared last time.

Yang Ning and Li Hu quickly surrounded the wooden puppet from the left and right and started fighting.

On this side, Luo Ming was still shocked by Li Hu's previous knife attack and it took him a long time to recover.

"How could he possibly do that?"

Li Hu and Yang Ning's strength is indeed stronger than his, but both of them said that they are only at the Digging Realm.

They are both at the Digging Realm, but how could the gap between them be so huge?
"Captain Luo, we're here."

Luo Ming, who was in a state of shock, was awakened by someone else.

When he turned around, he found that besides Shi Qing and Shi Dong, there were four more groups of people around him.

Over there, Wang Rui and Sun Xinzhu, as the wooden puppet was besieged and lost control, fell directly to the ground and became corpses.

There were four leaders among the four groups of people. When two of them saw the bodies of Wang Rui and Sun Xinzhu, their faces suddenly became extremely ugly.

"Four people died on my side, plus these two, six more died."

"This is already the fourth wave. If they continue like this, all the woodcutters in our camps will die here!"

"Captain Luo, if we still can't kill that wooden puppet this time, we'll have to stop accompanying you. Your Rogue Camp is big and powerful, with many woodcutters. It doesn't matter if a few of them die, but it won't work for our small camps."

The four of them spoke up one after another, and even Shi Qing couldn't help but say:

"Captain Luo, we really can't do this. We know that those two masters are very powerful, but it's not okay to keep letting our brothers out as bait. If we fail to kill the ghost this time, please forgive me for not accompanying you at Dashi Camp!"

Hearing the complaints from the five people, a trace of guilt flashed across Luo Ming's face, and his heart began to waver.

　Brothers, the momentum is unabated. Thank you. I will continue to pray. I guarantee that the new book will be a big hit after the period is over, and you will enjoy it. I only hope that it will not be dragged down during this period. Whether you are raising a book or reading a book, please take a few seconds to click. Thank you very much!!!
