Endless Winter: My Camp Infinite Upgrades

Chapter 45 My name is Xia Hong, the leader of Daxia [Here I come]

At nightfall the next day, Shi Qing found Luo Ming and prepared to say goodbye.

The leaders of the five camps have reached an agreement to cooperate with Yang and Li to go to Redwood Ridge for the last time to see if they can lure out the wooden puppet and successfully kill it.

Luo Ming brought three people at the Digging Level and twenty-five people at the Woodcutting Level, and the other four families also brought as many people as they could. Compared with the previous four times, everyone was obviously more determined this time.

But no matter what, these have nothing to do with Shi Qing.

The Dashi camp suffered heavy losses, and even if he wanted to help, he couldn't send anyone.

After wishing everyone to successfully kill the monster, Shi Qing took his younger brother Shi Dong and returned to Dashi Camp via Hongmu Ridge.

I also brought along a bag of crystal fruits given to me by Luo Ming.

There is little interaction between the camps, so there are no main roads connecting them, and people usually walk along the outskirts of Redwood Ridge.

Redwood Ridge is very large, and it is not accurate to say that all of their camps are located around Redwood Ridge. In fact, the nine camps, as a whole, are only distributed on the east side of Redwood Ridge.

The Rogue Camp is located due east, while the locations of the Dashi and Daxia families are, to be exact, in the southeast, but Daxia is a little further south.

The territories occupied by various camps outside Redwood Ridge are roughly divided according to the location of the camps. The Rogue Camp is the strongest and naturally occupies the largest area, which is more than 2,000 meters long from north to south.

The other eight are only about 500 meters away.

There are four camps to the south of Rogue Camp, namely Huangzhao, Dachuan, Dashi and Daxia. So if you come out of Rogue Camp, enter Hongmu Ridge and go south, it only takes about three kilometers to return to the territory of Dashi Camp.

Shi Qing was worried about the safety of more than 300 people in the camp, so he took Shi Dong and hurried all the way. Three kilometers was not far, and the two soon arrived at their own territory.

"Huh... We're finally here, let's go back quickly!"

Although he was still in Redwood Ridge, Shi Qing felt a lot more relaxed when he stepped into his own territory. However, he felt much more depressed when he thought about having to go back and inform everyone in the camp that they had lost three brothers.

It has been more than half a month since the last time eight brothers were lost in the territory of Daxia, and three more died. You should know that more than three months ago, the Dashi camp had a full sixteen logging-level fighters. At that time, he even took the initiative to hunt cold beasts.

In just a few months, the situation changed so drastically that it could be described as heaven and hell.

As Shi Qing was walking, he suddenly turned around to look at the bag on Shi Dong's back.

"Second brother, wait."

Shi Dong stopped when he heard the voice and looked at him in confusion.

Shi Qing reached out to take the bag from his back, weighed it for a few times, frowned and said, "It's been more than half a month, they must have eaten all the crystal fruits that were left in the camp last time. There are only more than a thousand pounds in this bag, it may not be enough to take back. Let's go to the Bingshuo tree first to see if we can pick some more."

Shi Dong nodded and stood still. He waited for Shi Qing to take the lead and walk towards the Bingshuo tree before he followed behind.

As the leader of the camp, Shi Qing was naturally familiar with the locations of the six ice trees on his territory, and quickly walked to the nearest one.

But when they were still more than thirty meters away from the ice tree, his expression suddenly changed, and he pulled Shi Dong beside him and quickly hid behind a nearby tree.

"Someone broke in!"

Shi Dong on the side had also noticed it, and the two of them looked over there together.

I saw two young men carrying bags and picking crystal fruits happily on the ice tree. There were three people on guard below, a total of five people.

After taking a close look at the five people's appearances, Shi Qing's face was first filled with shock, then turned into confusion.

"So young, which camp is this from?"

Being able to go out at night means that he must have the strength of a lumberjack.

The problem is, these five young men look to be around twenty years old at most.

I guess even in the Rogue Camp, there are not five such young lumberjacks.

Could it be that they came from other large or even giant camps?

No, no.

Shi Qing quickly overturned this speculation.

Because these six people were all wearing ordinary animal skin skirts.

"Those five are from the Daxia camp." Shi Dong, who was standing aside, suddenly spoke at this time.

Shi Qing was stunned when he heard this, and then a trace of fear suddenly surged in his heart. The look in his eyes when he looked at the five young men also changed instantly.

"You mean, those five might be..."

Shi Dong didn't say anything, but just nodded slightly at him.

Shi Qing swallowed his saliva, his heart instantly slowed down, and his movements became more cautious, for fear of making any noise and alerting the five people over there.

He did not forget that Xia Ding and his gang were obviously dead.

In any camp, if all the members of the logging team died, the remaining people in the camp would basically have no chance of survival.

So before going to Rogue Camp, Shi Qing was certain that the people in Daxia Camp had either all starved to death or had already been killed by the monsters.

The scene before him had obviously told him the answer.

Weird!
Yes, that’s right, it must be controlled by a monster.

Otherwise, how could there be such young people at the lumberjack level, and five of them at once.

"Keep your voice down, don't alarm them, let's go!"

Hearing Shi Qing's gesture, Shi Dong nodded, with a hint of sadness in his eyes.

The two men retreated quietly and soon walked twenty or thirty meters away.

Shi Qing then breathed a sigh of relief, turned around and prepared to walk towards Tashan.

"Shitou Ling, where are you two going?"

However, a slightly teasing voice suddenly sounded from in front of them, and Shi Qing and Shi Dong's faces suddenly froze.

When the two looked up, they found a burly young man holding a stone axe, standing on a big tree five meters away, looking at them.

The young man's voice was quite loud. When the five people behind him who were picking crystal fruits heard the voice, they immediately stopped picking crystal fruits and all ran over.

This was not the end yet. There were actually two people on each side of the left side who also surrounded us.

Shi Qing was surrounded by ten people in an instant, and his face was filled with despair.

There is no way that he and Shi Dong can deal with these ten monsters.

"Captain Xia, you just came here to pick crystal fruits, but do you want to kill people?"

But at this moment, Shi Dong suddenly spoke.

Shi Qing was stunned for a moment, and looked up at the burly young man on the tree. A familiar look flashed across his eyes, and he asked in an uncertain tone, "Are you Lao Ding's son?"

Xia Hong stretched and jumped down from the tree. The snow under his feet did not sink at all. He walked slowly to Shi Qing.

"Yes, my name is Xia Hong, the current leader of Da Xia!"

Not weird?
Shi Qing suddenly realized this, and the relief of surviving the disaster made him look happy for a moment, but the smile on his face only lasted for a moment before it was replaced by shock.

"You are all in the Lumberjack realm?"

Xia Hong did not say anything, but Yuan Cheng, Xia Chuan on his left and right, as well as the other seven people including Yue Feng, Lin Kai, all could not help but chuckle.

After all, they are young people. Hearing the shock in Shi Qing's tone, they couldn't help but show off in their hearts, especially Xia Chuan and Yuan Cheng. They both had a lot of opinions about the Dashi Camp. After all, the other party had crossed the border into the Daxia territory twice before.

Of course, Xia Hong would not be proud of such a small thing. His mind was completely focused on the change in expression on Shi Qing's face just now.

Just now, Shi Qing went from despair when he saw him to joy when Shi Dong called out his identity. This change made him a little curious.

This curiosity even made him forget that he had originally stopped the two men with the intention of getting back at the old situation some time ago and teaching the Dashi camp a lesson.

"Captain Xia, I haven't been back to the camp for a long time. I need to go back first. When I have time, come to Hongmu Ridge and we can meet again. How about that?"

However, Shi Qing obviously had no intention of clearing up his doubts.
