Endless Winter: My Camp Infinite Upgrades

Chapter 399 Rescuing People: Xiahou Qingqing's Story - Full of Twists and Turns

Although the sixteen people were divided into three teams, the distance between them was kept within half a mile, so they were able to hear the bone whistle smoothly.

Xiao Heng led Luo An and the other five men back quickly and followed the sound of the whistle to the left and behind them in the snowy forest. They soon found Hong Ye blowing the whistle under a big tree.

At the same time, Xiao Jing's group, looking nervous, also came over from the back.

"What's going on? Where are Xiao Lin and the other three?"

However, seeing that Hong Ye did not show any signs of tension, Xiao Heng and the others immediately felt relieved and asked what was going on.

Hong Ye put down the bone whistle and replied in a low voice, "There's something going on in the west. Xiao Lin and three others are keeping an eye on things over there. You guys come with me!"

After he finished speaking, he turned and walked to the west, while Xiao Heng and the other eleven followed behind him with puzzled expressions.

roar...roar...

Swish swish swish…………

However, after walking about three hundred meters to the west, a series of dense roars of beasts and the sound of arrows came from not far away, and Xiao Heng and the others' expressions immediately changed.

This is clearly a battle between someone and the Frost Beasts; judging from the sounds, there are probably quite a few of them.

"Let's climb the tree and see!"

Hongye quickly found a big tree and led the way up to it.

Xiao Heng and his eleven had already spotted Xiao Lin and his group of four at the top of the tree, so they didn't waste any words and followed Hong Ye up.

The trees in the Ice Abyss are all very thick, with trunks often reaching ten meters in diameter and branches two to three meters in diameter. A dozen people can stand on them at the same time without feeling crowded.

Xiao Heng climbed to the top of the tree and looked westward, his gaze immediately freezing.

About two hundred meters to the west, in the snow-covered forest, more than thirty tiger-shaped beasts with golden spots all over their bodies were frantically attacking a group of people.

The group of people were clad in iron armor and fully armed, numbering around twenty; it was clearly the setup of a normal hunting team.

"It must be the hunting team from Jiangxia Town!"

"Intermediate Golden-spotted Tigers have a strength between 1 and 1.3. Although they are not as strong as Rock Armored Bears, they are more agile and have a strong fighting ability. Overall, they are slightly stronger than Rock Armored Bears."

"Of the 23 people, only one is at the Cold Resistance level, and his strength is quite average. It seems that his power is less than two-mane."

"The remaining 22 people are all at the limit of the Earth-Digging Realm. Their strength seems to be even inferior to ours. They should be a mid-level hunting team from Jiangxia Town."

"Thirty-two golden-spotted tigers, this is troublesome. Without help, they're all going to die!"

"What terrible luck! We're not even 30 kilometers deep, and we've already run into a whole pack of golden tigers."

………………

Thanks to Lu Yang's covert operations in Dongling over the past few years, information on common cold-resistant animal species in Mo'ao Mountain had already been included in the Great Xia Cold-Related Animal Records. In addition, Xiao Heng and his team had encountered the Golden-Spotted Tiger during their exploration over the previous month, so they could recognize it at a glance.

As for encountering the hunting team from Jiangxia Town within the Mo'ao Mountains, that's hardly surprising.

The agreement among the nine towns to divide the Mo'ao Mountain hunting area only restricted the outer fifteen kilometers. Beyond that, the area was open to all, and anyone who wasn't afraid of danger could go wherever they wanted.

They were now at a depth of about 23 kilometers in the Mo'ao Mountains, so it was perfectly normal for them to run into a hunting team from Jiangxia Town.

However, it was quite a coincidence that the other party was surrounded and attacked by a horde of cold beasts.

"Someone's going to die! We have to help!"

Upon hearing Xiao Heng's words, everyone's expressions faltered slightly.

But soon, Luo An was the first to nod in agreement, saying, "We should take action. Jiangxia has a good relationship with us now. The conflict between the hunting teams in July had already created a rift between the two towns. If we can help rescue these people, it will be beneficial to improving the relationship between the two towns."

"I also agree with intervening to save lives."

"Jiangxia Town is now relying on the support of our Great Xia. As descendants of Great Xia, it is our duty to maintain the relationship between the two towns."

"Jiang Xia might become one of our family in the future, so let's make a move!"

“I agree, but we need to come up with a foolproof plan. Those golden tigers are quite strong, and the sixteen of us alone probably won’t be enough.”

………………

Although Luo An, Zou Ping, Luo Cheng, and a dozen others were young, their fathers and elder brothers held positions of power in Daxia, so they naturally knew more about the situation than the average person and were very familiar with the current relationship between the two towns.

Liu Peng, in particular, was able to say something like, "Jiang Xia might become one of our family in the future," which clearly indicates that he learned something from his older brother, Liu Yuan.

However, Xiao Heng wasn't concerned about this issue at the moment. He was a little excited because he had never seen anything like this since his temporary team was created.

This was the first time that all team members unanimously approved his order.

This was clearly thanks to his recent change in exploration methods. Luo An and the others were beginning to accept him as their captain. Sure enough, as long as they changed their thinking when making decisions and fully respected the opinions of the team members, they could gradually unite people's hearts. His father's previous teachings were all correct.

Having gained the unanimous approval of his teammates for the first time, Xiao Heng's confidence soared. He nodded and said in a deep voice, "Lu Dong is right. There are too many tigers in the pack. We need to come up with a foolproof plan..."

He turned to look west and saw that some people in Jiangxia had already lost their lives. After thinking for a moment, he ordered Xiao Jing, "If I remember correctly, Yuan Bai's exploration team is nearby. Second brother, go find Yuan Bai and tell his team to come and help. The rest of you, come with me and hold off the people in Jiangxia for a while."

The exploration competition was limited to a ten-kilometer radius to the north, and each team was assigned a specific exploration area. Xiao Heng happened to know that Yuan Bai's team was right next to his own.

"Okay, I'll go now!"

Xiao Jing was Xiao Heng's cousin, and the second among the Xiao family members of the same generation. Upon hearing Xiao Heng's words, he immediately nodded and headed straight for the east side.

"Pull your ears shut with cloth, get your bow and arrows ready, let's go!"

Without further ado, Xiao Heng made up his mind and signaled everyone to plug their ears with cloth, prepare their longbows, and then took the lead and rushed towards the golden tiger pack, with everyone following closely behind.

In the area inhabited by the Golden Tiger pack, of the twenty-three people from Jiangxia Town, five had already perished in the tigers' jaws, and the remaining eighteen were mostly wounded. If it weren't for two strong individuals who were desperately helping the others hold off the tigers, they would have been wiped out long ago.

On the other hand, the golden tiger pack, which started with 32 members, still has 32 members, except that 8 of them were seriously injured and retreated to the rear. Even after retreating, they did not leave directly, but instead tightly sealed off the gap in the tiger pack, preventing the people from Jiangxia from breaking through.

call out…………

"Qingqing, you run first, don't worry about us anymore!"

"There are too many tigers. If this continues, we'll all die here."

"Let's go! Captain, you need to get Qingqing out of here right now."

Xiahou Qingqing slashed the forehead of a golden tiger with her longsword. Hearing the exclamations behind her, she gripped her sword tightly, turned to her brother Xiahou Yongjiao, and shouted, "We live together, we die together! I won't abandon you!"

"Stop talking nonsense, everyone gather together. Qingqing, come with me and charge towards those eight heavily wounded golden tigers. If we can break through them, we can escape!"

Jiang Shouping's voice was also somewhat flustered at this moment, but as the captain, he was experienced in hunting and saw the only weakness of the golden tiger pack. He immediately ordered Xiahou Qingqing to break through with him.

Xiahou Qingqing's thousand-forged iron armor had been torn open more than a dozen times by tiger claws, and the white lining inside was stained red with blood. Her injuries were obviously not light. Although she was a woman and only in her early twenties, she was decisive. Noticing that the lining was in the way, she tore it off with her hands, pulled out two small balls of cloth, crumpled them together, and stuffed them into her ears. Then, she gritted her teeth and quickly followed her team leader Jiang Shouping towards the location of the heavily injured golden tigers.

"Roar…………"

The tigers clearly saw through their plan, and they roared in unison, causing the snow forest to tremble. The solid ice that had formed on the outer layer of all the surrounding trees was shattered by the roar and fell off.

All cold-blooded beasts have unique killing moves, and the Golden-spotted Tiger is no exception.

Their signature move is their roar.

The roar of the Golden-spotted Tiger can resonate with a person's eardrums, meridians, and flesh. If the distance is close enough, it can even kill someone at the Earth-Digging Realm. Only those at the limit of the Earth-Digging Realm who have begun to reshape their skin can withstand it to some extent.

In a one-on-one situation, Xiahou Qingqing's basic strength of 11 jin means that even if she can't win, she can still run away.

The problem was that she was now facing a pack of tigers. More than thirty golden-spotted tigers roared in unison, and even she was momentarily stunned. Moreover, the remaining sixteen people in the group were not as strong as her.

As the golden-spotted tigers roared in unison, Xiahou Qingqing and Jiang Shouping were not greatly affected and successfully rushed to the side of the heavily injured golden-spotted tigers, but the remaining sixteen team members behind them could not keep up.

"Yi Qing, watch out!"

Pfft...

"what!"

When Xiahou Yong saw his friend Jiang Yiqing being caught by the claws of a golden-spotted tiger, he immediately cried out a warning. Without hesitation, he drew his sword and slashed at the tiger's right claw in an attempt to free his friend.

Unfortunately, the golden tiger was too agile. Xiahou Yong had just raised his knife when it spotted him. It quickly put Jiang Yiqing down, raised its right paw, and delivered a powerful claw strike to Xiahou Yong's face.

Xiahou Yong's basic strength was only over 70,000 jin, which was no match for this golden-spotted tiger. In addition, he hastily raised his knife to defend himself, and the result was predictable.

The tiger's claws slashed across his face, sending him flying dozens of meters away, and also forcefully pulled out his left eyeball.

His eyeballs were gouged out by the tiger's claws, and Xiahou Yong, in unbearable pain, couldn't help but let out a scream.

"Ah Yong!"

Upon seeing his friend's miserable state, Jiang Yiqing's pupils instantly turned bloodshot. He immediately rushed over, picked up Xiahou Yong, and quickly retreated to the middle of the crowd.

"It's over, we can't break through!"

Meanwhile, Jiang Shouping and Xiahou Qingqing, both at the Cold Resistance level, retreated from the perimeter. Seeing that the Golden-spotted Tiger pack remained firmly in place, their breakout plan had clearly failed.

"These beasts have a leader. The eight heavily wounded golden-spotted tigers keep changing positions, preventing us from getting close. Qingqing, hurry..."

"elder brother!"

Jiang Shouping realized that they were in a hopeless situation and wanted to persuade Xiahou Qingqing to escape, but before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Xiahou Qingqing's mournful cry.

At this moment, Xiahou Qingqing was supporting her brother Xiahou Yong, covering his blood-soaked left eye, her expression extremely panicked.

"Brother, I was wrong! I should never have come to you. It's Qingqing's fault, it's everyone's fault, sob sob sob..."

It was probably the first time Xiahou Qingqing had seen her brother in such a miserable state. After saying a few words, she burst into tears, her sobs filled with regret.

Xiahou Yong was optimistic by nature. Even though he knew he was going to die today, he didn't want his sister to feel guilty. He gritted his teeth and endured the pain to comfort her, saying, "It's okay, Qingqing. It's just that you lost your left eye. Listen to me, follow the captain and go first. When you get stronger, kill a few more dens of golden tigers and avenge us!"

Hearing her brother say that, Xiahou Qingqing felt even more distressed.

She wasn't actually a member of Jiang Shouping's hunting team, but her cultivation had recently improved, and when she heard that the hunting team at Baisong Camp was being bullied by the people of Daxia, she volunteered to come.

Jiang Shouping's hunting team was only a mid-level team. They were hunting in familiar territory. As long as they controlled the distance and carefully selected their targets, they should not have any danger.

Today's accident was caused by her.

Just now, it was because she repeatedly suggested that since the hunting teams from Daxia were coming to the Jiangxia area, they should also go to Daxia to retaliate.

Jiang Shouping initially refused, but couldn't resist Xiahou Qingqing's pleading. Considering Jiangxia's recent decline, he finally agreed.

Who would have thought that they would run into this group of golden tigers less than two kilometers east, resulting in the current situation.

"Qingqing, hurry up and follow the captain. Don't waste time here. You are much more valuable than any of us!"

Seeing his younger sister still crying, Xiahou Yong endured the excruciating pain in his left eye and roared angrily. Then he looked up at Jiang Shouping and shouted, "Captain, you take Qingqing and go. I'll take the others and hold off the tiger pack..."

Without waiting for Jiang Shouping's response, he looked up at the group of team members and shouted, "Brothers, life and death are predestined. Since we've come out to hunt, this day will come eventually. If we're going to die, let's be men and leave some fire for Jiangxia. Let the captain take Qingqing back!"

Upon hearing this, all fifteen team members trembled slightly.

Jiang Yiqing, who had just been saved by Xiahou Yong at the cost of his life, nodded and loudly echoed, "The vice captain is right. The captain is at the Cold Resistance level, and Qingqing's aptitude is better than ours. We must risk our lives to ensure that the two of them leave."

"it is good!"

"We're going to die either way, so we might as well save one person."

"We'll listen to the vice-captain."

………………

"Brothers, charge with me! Clear a path for the captain and Qingqing!"

Hearing the angry roars of his teammates one after another, team leader Jiang Shouping's eyes reddened. He clenched his fists, ready to reprimand everyone, but Xiahou Yong spoke first, raising his broadsword and leading everyone to charge forward.

Regardless of whether they were injured or not, the fifteen team members followed Xiahou Yong like madmen, charging towards the golden tiger pack.

"Brother, don't!"

Xiahou Qingqing exclaimed in surprise upon seeing her brother's actions, and then instinctively rushed out as well. However, she was stopped by Jiang Shouping beside her as soon as she took a step.

"Qingqing, calm down. Don't let everyone's sacrifice be in vain!"

Jiang Shouping, a fourth-generation member of the Jiang family, is in his forties and has over a decade of hunting experience. He has led teams for seven or eight years and this wasn't the first time he'd encountered such a situation. Seeing Xiahou Yong and his team's actions, although his heart was breaking, he made the right choice. He himself didn't care, but Xiahou Qingqing's talent was crucial to Jiangxia Town, and he couldn't let her die here like this.

"Come with me!"

The combined efforts of Xiahou Yong and his sixteen men were indeed very effective, managing to create a small opening in the golden tiger pack.

Upon seeing this, Jiang Shouping immediately grabbed Xiahou Qingqing and tried to escape through the opening.

"Roar…………"

Despite their quick movements, just as they were about to burst through the opening, the golden tiger pack resorted to their old trick again, roaring in unison.

Jiang Shouping and Xiahou Qingqing were momentarily stunned, their steps slowing down several times over. Then, a large, golden-spotted tiger suddenly pounced from behind the pack, its sharp golden claws aimed directly at Xiahou Qingqing's head.

Tear...

The golden-spotted tiger is not only known for its roar; its golden claws, which resemble palm-leaf fans, are also an extremely powerful killing move.

The sharp claws slashed through the air, carving three golden streaks in the night. The ear-piercing shriek as they tore through the air was enough to tell just how terrifying their power was.

"Qingqing, watch out!"

Just as the claws were about to grab her head, and a look of terror appeared on Xiahou Qingqing's face, her elder brother Xiahou Yong did his best to block her way.

"elder brother!"

Xiahou Qingqing was actually quite familiar with this scene.

When her father, Xiahou Lin, died, she was only five years old. At that time, her older brother, Xiahou Yong, was already thirteen. From childhood to adulthood, no matter what she did, her brother Xiahou Yong was always the first to stand in front of her.

But how can those situations compare to the present?
Even she dared not directly withstand the golden tiger's claw attack. With Xiahou Yong's strength of over 70,000 jin, he would surely die if hit.

Xiahou Qingqing's eyes were filled with panic. She frantically reached out to pull Xiahou Yong back, but everything happened too fast, and she didn't have time.

"don't want……"

Whoosh!
At the critical moment, a silver iron arrow suddenly shot out from the snow forest on the east side and pierced the left eye of the golden tiger that was waving its claws.

"Roar…………"

With a soft thud, the iron arrow was extremely powerful, with more than half of its 70-centimeter-long shaft piercing through the tiger's left eye. Blood spurted out immediately, and the tiger roared in pain, even retracting its claws.

"Spread out and shoot arrows to save people first!"

"Brothers in Jiangxia, run this way quickly!"

Xiahou Qingqing was overjoyed to see her brother rescued. Upon hearing the sounds coming from the east, she immediately took her brother Xiahou Yong and ran east with Jiang Shouping.

Of course, it wasn't just the three of them; Jiang Yiqing and the other fourteen team members also fled to the east side immediately.

Swish swish swish…………

Countless iron arrows came rushing in from all directions. Although they didn't hit the pupils as accurately as the first one, they still caused considerable trouble for the Golden-spotted Tiger pack and actually rescued the eighteen people from Jiangxia for a time.

"Golden armor, it's the Great Xia hunting team!"

"saved."

"No, there aren't enough people, only fifteen."

"There's only one Cold Resistance level, no, there aren't any."

………………

Jiang Shouping led the group to the east side, where they immediately saw that fifteen men clad in golden armor and wielding powerful bows were scattered in five or six large trees, firing wildly at the group of golden tigers.

The situation was somewhat urgent, and he didn't have time to take a closer look. He only briefly observed the cultivation levels of everyone and found that all fifteen people were at the limit of the Earth-Digging Realm, with none at the Cold-Preserving Realm. His expression instantly turned much uglier.

"Jiang Shouping, captain of the Jiangxia Town Baisong Camp Hunting Team, thanks everyone from Great Xia for their help. However, there are quite a few of these golden tigers, so let's escape first!"

"Xiao Heng of Da Xia can't escape now. Captain Jiang, join forces to hold off these beasts! I've already sent team members to gather others; reinforcements will arrive soon. We just need to hold them off for a moment!"

Upon hearing Xiao Heng's words, Jiang Shouping turned around and discovered that the Golden-spotted Tiger pack had already lowered its heads and charged over. This time, they not only surrounded them but also the fifteen people from the Great Xia Kingdom.

However, his expression wasn't as bad this time, since Xiao Heng said he had already notified the others to come over.

"Yiqing, you stay in the center and take care of the wounded. Qingqing and the rest of you who can move, come with me and work with the brothers of Daxia to hold off these beasts!"

Jiang Shouping reacted quickly, immediately giving orders to his team members. He then led Xiahou Qingqing and the rest of the uninjured men to fend off the relentless attacks of the Golden-spotted Tiger.

"All the arrows have been fired. Concentrate them all together and use them to block!"

Xiao Heng and the others shot arrows to help Jiang Shouping and the others break through the encirclement, so they emptied their quiver almost in one go. Seeing that the Golden-spotted Tiger had surrounded them and that some of them were starting to climb trees to chase them, he immediately ordered everyone to jump down and gather together.

The fifteen people jumped down from the big tree and stood with Jiang Shouping and Jiang Xia's group, joining forces to fight the golden-spotted tiger pack.

With more people around, the pressure on Jiang Shouping and the others instantly decreased significantly.

Xiahou Qingqing is even more formidable. Her basic strength exceeds 11 jin, and her individual strength is no weaker than these golden tigers. At this moment, the pressure has been greatly reduced, and she can seize the opportunity to injure those golden tigers.

Thinking of her brother Xiahou Yong's left eye being blinded by these beasts, Xiahou Qingqing's eyes were filled with hatred. Seeing a golden tiger with its right eye blinded by arrows still oblivious to its impending doom, she seized the opportunity, her longsword suddenly flipped, and she plunged the sword into the golden tiger's left eye.

puff!

Tear...

Her longsword successfully pierced the left eye of the golden tiger, with half of the blade going in. But at the same time, the claws of another golden tiger slashed toward her face.

She clearly lacked combat experience; instead of letting go immediately, she tried to retrieve the longsword she had plunged into the golden tiger's left eye.

In life-or-death battles, the key lies in making the right choice at the right time.

Her momentary lapse in attention was essentially a fatal mistake.

Seeing the golden tiger's claws only half a meter away from her face, Xiahou Qingqing's face was filled with terror. After all, she was only in her early twenties and still unmarried. If she were caught, she might not die, but she would definitely be disfigured.

boom…………

A loud crash was heard, but the golden tiger's claws ultimately failed to strike her face.

It turned out that a man from the Great Xia Dynasty, clad in golden armor, had rammed the golden-spotted tiger from the flank.

"Girl, be careful!"

"Thank you so much, Captain Xiao!"

Upon hearing the voice, Xiahou Qingqing immediately recognized that it was Xiao Heng, who had just been talking to Jiang Shouping. She quickly bowed and thanked him. However, when Xiao Heng turned his head and she saw his face, she was stunned for a moment.

So young!

When she overheard Xiao Heng talking to Jiang Shouping, she thought Xiao Heng was about the same age as Jiang Shouping and should also be the captain of the Great Xia Hunting Team, which is why he addressed her as captain. But Xiao Heng's face clearly showed that he was only in his early twenties, obviously about the same age as her.

"This Xiao Heng must be a genius of the Great Xia Dynasty!"

Xiahou Qingqing was very clear about her own aptitude. She had not yet broken through the Cold Resistance level, but her basic strength was already over 11 jin, which was definitely a superior combat physique. This was why her brother Xiahou Yong and the others had risked their lives to protect her.

The strength Xiao Heng displayed when he knocked the Golden-spotted Tiger away was definitely over 90,000 jin. Considering the opponent's age and the fact that he had not yet broken through to the Cold Resistance level, Xiahou Qingqing would naturally have such a thought.

However, this was not the time for her to be curious. Although everyone was actively resisting, the Golden Tiger's encirclement was getting smaller and smaller.

"Brother Xiao, why haven't we received any help yet..."

Whoosh……

In his desperation, Jiang Shouping couldn't help but ask Xiao Heng why their help hadn't arrived yet, but before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by a silver iron arrow flying from afar.

The silver iron arrow was also well-prepared, and it pierced the throat of a golden tiger. The golden tiger wanted to roar immediately after its throat was pierced, but after it tilted its head back, it staggered and the roar it made was very small.

"I almost got confused! The golden-spotted tiger's weakness is its throat. Gentlemen, if we can injure its throat, its ferocity will be reduced by half!"

The golden-spotted tiger is one of the most common cold-weather beasts in the Jiangxia hunting area, so Jiang Shouping is well aware of its weaknesses. However, he was so flustered by the tiger pack's attack that he didn't think to remind the others.

Now that he remembered, he naturally hurriedly raised his voice to remind the others.

"Xiao Heng, I'll clear a path for you. You lead your men and keep running this way!"

Reinforcements have arrived!

More than twenty people from the Great Xia Dynasty, clad in golden armor, arrived. The leader was a burly man of similar age to Xiao Heng, and was none other than Yuan Bai, who was leading the exploration team in the area around him.

Xiao Heng truly rose to fame in Xia City on his own merits during the martial arts competition held in the second year of the Great Xia Dynasty, where he made it into the top 100 of the lumberjack group, ranking eighteenth.

Yuan Bai also made it into the top 100 that year, ranking ninth, which was higher than his ranking.

Looking back now, the annual martial arts competition was actually a test of aptitude. The top 100 and top 10 from previous years were able to quickly make a name for themselves in the camp.

Yuan Bai is one year older than Xiao Heng and is also at the limit of the Earth-Digging Realm. However, his basic strength is already 99,000 jin. It is said that he has been trying to break through to the superior battle body, which is why he deliberately does not break through.

Yuan Bai and twenty others did the same thing as Xiao Heng had just done, using their bows and arrows to tear open another gap in the encirclement of the golden tiger pack. Then Xiao Heng, Jiang Shouping, and the others escaped through that gap again and rejoined Yuan Bai and the other twenty-odd people.

"You still dare to chase after me?"

With Yuan Bai's arrival, their total number had increased to over fifty. The golden tiger pack had been fighting for so long and had suffered considerable losses, leaving only twenty-seven tigers. Logically, they shouldn't have continued the pursuit.

But the group of golden-spotted tigers still relentlessly pursued them.

Upon seeing the unusual behavior of the golden-spotted tiger pack, Xiao Heng's brows furrowed.

"Something's not right. Have these golden tigers taken the wrong medicine?"

"Run! I have a bad feeling!"

Xiao Heng picked up where Yuan Bai left off and immediately signaled for everyone to flee.

They have already escaped the encirclement. As long as they continue to flee eastward, they will encounter other exploration teams, and with their numbers increasing, the tiger pack will naturally no longer pose a threat.

If they were to run into a high-level hunting team from the camp, then this group of golden-spotted tigers would be no problem at all.

"Run! The wounded go first, we'll cover the rear!"

Yuan Bai naturally understood this principle and immediately made arrangements.

Xiao Heng and the others had just fought a long battle with the Golden Tigers and were injured. Their team had just arrived and was in full strength, so they were naturally suitable to cover the rear.

The group of fifty-odd people quickly formed a formation and fled to the east.

"Roar…………"

Unfortunately, they only managed to escape less than a hundred meters to the east.

A deep tiger's roar suddenly echoed from the snowy forest ahead.

As the tiger's roar rang out, the pupils of the fifty-odd people who were fleeing all turned cloudy. Some of the injured even coughed up blood, and the wounds on their skin spread out in a wide circle.

"What's this……"

"Look ahead!"

"Stop! Don't run anymore!"

"It's a high-grade golden-spotted tiger, we're doomed!"

"Could we encounter high-level cold beasts here?"

………………

Jiang Shouping, who regained his senses immediately, was filled with despair. Hearing the confusion of the crowd, he immediately spoke in a low voice to explain.

As if to confirm his words, after Luo An's last question, everyone looked towards the east and their expressions froze instantly.

Fifty or sixty meters ahead, on a large tree, there was a ferocious tiger with a body over a meter long and radiating golden light, staring intently at them with its wide, crimson pupils.

"A high-grade golden-spotted tiger, with a strength of at least fifteen manes!"

(End of this chapter)
