Endless Winter: My Camp Infinite Upgrades

Chapter 54 Inexplicable Hostility

Just as Xia Hong said before, the territory of the Rogue Camp is only within the one-kilometer range outside the Redwood Ridge. It is not difficult to find a team of fifty or sixty people within this range.

When Xia Hong was about to break through the one-thousand-meter limit, he discovered everyone.

However, when he saw everyone, Xia Hong clearly felt that the atmosphere was a little strange, so he did not come down immediately. Since he was exposed, he naturally went down the slope and came out.

After taking a quick glance at everyone, Xia Hong immediately determined that the person who called him out and the other person standing next to him should be Yang Ning and Li Hu.

There is no other reason, the clothes these two people wear are too eye-catching.

He was wearing a brown velvet fur coat and a soft white velvet collar around his neck, which was obviously made from the tail of a cold beast; he was wearing a pair of shiny black fur boots.

Compared with the two of them, whether it was other people or Xia Hong himself, they all looked like beggars. Even though Xia Hong had seen too many gorgeous and luxurious clothes in his memory, he couldn't help but reveal a hint of envy when he saw the complete outfits of the two people.

God knows, after wearing the fur skirt for four months, how strong his desire for a complete outfit is at this moment.

While Xia Hong was observing everyone, Luo Ming also stood up. He looked at Xia Hong and thought for a moment, then immediately asked with a speculative look on his face:

"Xia Hong? Are you Lao Ding's son?"

Seeing Xia Hong nodded, a smile immediately appeared on Luo Ming's face. He had thought that the Great Xia camp had been harmed by the wooden puppet, but he didn't expect it was still there.

Thinking of what Xia Hong had just said, he quickly continued, "I am Luo Ming. Is there anything urgent that you need to inform me about?"

Although he could see that the atmosphere was not right, it was extremely urgent at the moment, so Xia Hong did not think much and said directly: "Captain Luo, during your trip, the wooden puppet ghost did not show up from the beginning to the end? The wooden puppet ghost is very likely to have sneaked into your Rogue camp."

It's not that Xia Hong was unwilling to explain the whole story, but the situation was urgent at the moment and he didn't want to waste words. He just wanted to bring these people back to Rogue Camp as soon as possible. After all, if he went back a moment earlier, he might be able to save a few more people.

So, he chose to make the long story short.

But obviously, no one believed him immediately. Even Luo Ming, when he heard that the wooden puppet might have entered the Rogue camp, was nervous at first, but then he frowned and looked at Xia Hong with some suspicion.

Beep…………

When Xia Hong saw the expressions of the crowd, he knew that they did not believe it, so he blew the bone whistle to summon Xia Chuan and others, and then hurriedly made a long story short, telling them everything about Shi Qing and Shi Dong, as well as the destruction of the Dashi camp.

By the time Xia Chuan, Yuan Cheng and the other six people arrived, Xia Hong had basically finished talking. Finally, looking at Luo Ming's extremely ugly face, he said anxiously: "If nothing unexpected happens, the wooden puppet was deliberately confusing you four times before. It controlled Shi Dong to sneak into the Rogue Camp. It is very likely that it has left a backup plan and followed Shi Qing to the Dashi Camp.

It has killed more than a hundred people in the Dashi camp and its strength has greatly increased. There are even more ordinary people in the Rogue camp. If it is allowed to kill for a while longer, I am afraid no one will be able to deal with it.

"Captain Luo, hurry up and take people back to the camp to check, otherwise, the consequences will be disastrous!"

Xia Hong was so busy persuading Luo Ming to return to the camp that he didn't notice at all that when he said that the wooden puppet was deliberately playing tricks on them the previous four times, Li Hu's already bad expression became even uglier.

He was angry just now because Hong Mu said that they were not as good as the wooden puppet and had been fooled four times before. At this moment, Xia Hong ran out and repeated the same thing again. The anger that he had not yet vented suddenly rose in his heart.

"It's only been more than two hours since we left Rogue Camp. If the wooden puppet had sneaked in, how could we not have discovered it? Also, since you said that Shi Dong was a fake, why didn't he stay in Rogue Camp, but followed Shi Qing away? It's full of loopholes. He's another idiot who talks nonsense!"

Xia Hong was inexplicably scolded and his expression suddenly froze.

But he did not attack immediately. Instead, he looked at Li Hu with gloomy eyes, wondering why this man was hostile to him.

He could endure it, but Xia Chuan, Yuan Cheng and others who had just approached him could not.

It can be said that in the minds of everyone in the Daxia camp, Xia Hong is the absolute spiritual pillar. Those of them who have followed Xia Hong for a long time worship him as a god. How could they tolerate an outsider insulting Xia Hong in front of them like this?

"Where did you come from, you idiot? How dare you yell at our leader?" "Your words are so clear, but there are so many loopholes. You either have a problem with your ears or your brain."

"He looks like a decent person dressed up, but I didn't expect his mouth is full of shit."

…………

"shut up!"

Seeing that Xia Chuan and his companions were going further and further in their comments, and that Li Hu's face was turning red at a speed visible to the naked eye, Xia Hong hurriedly stopped them.

Of course, Xia Hong didn't think they were wrong. He stopped them just because he didn't want to conflict with them.

Li Hu's chest was heaving, and it was obvious that he was about to have an attack.

Xia Hong was worried that his outburst would delay his progress, so he quickly said to Luo Ming, "Captain Luo, we are both trying to survive around Hongmu Ridge. I don't want to see too many people die in the Rogue Camp, so I took the risk to come here to inform you, and I am even willing to lend you a hand.
Even if you don't believe me, at least you should take the lives of more than a thousand people in the camp as your priority and go back to check. If nothing happened, then everyone will be happy. Xia will apologize to you. How about that?"

These words finally woke Luo Ming up.

Only then did he look up suddenly and realized the crux of the problem.

To him, it didn’t matter whether Xia Hong lied or not.

The most important thing is the lives of more than a thousand people in the camp.

"Everyone, come back with me first and take a look. If this is really the case..."

The more Luo Ming thought about it, the more panicked he became. Without finishing his sentence, he gave everyone in his camp a look and ran towards the camp.

Xia Hong would naturally not say anything. He was 90% sure that the wooden puppet was in the Rogue camp, so he took Xia Chuan, Yuan Chuan and six others with him and immediately followed Luo Ming.

Hong Gang, Huang Yong, Lu He and Chen Ying were just planning to leave, but after what happened to Xia Hong, the four of them looked at each other and finally followed Luo Ming and headed towards the Rogue Camp together.

They had opinions about Yang and Li, but they still respected Luo Ming from the bottom of their hearts.

If something really happened in the Rogue Camp, they would not sit idly by. Whether they could help or not was another matter, but at least they had to go and take a look.

Soon, only Yang Ning and Li Hu were left on the field.

"Brother, those little bastards just spoke rudely to me. Why did you pull me? These country bumpkins who have never seen the world should be killed to teach them a lesson."

Li Hu spoke in a bad tone. He didn't hold back on his own just now, but was held back by Yang Ning.

Yang Ning lowered his eyes, thought for a while, then looked up at Li Hu and said:
"Don't underestimate Xia Hong. His strength is not much lower than yours."

Hearing this, Li Hu immediately showed disdain and said: "Brother, you mean that he was hiding on the side just now and I didn't notice him, right?

He just has some ability to hide his tracks. When he came down from the tree, I observed the changes in his qi and muscles. His strength is at most a little over 10,000 jin. He is far behind me!"

Yang Ning nodded but did not refute.

"Let's follow and see. If it's true, the wooden puppet might be in the Rogue camp. If not, forget it. We should go back."

"Okay, but before I go back, I have to teach those little bastards a lesson!"
