Endless Winter: My Camp Infinite Upgrades

Chapter 76 Easy Hunting
Late at night, Redwood Ridge.

The cold wind is biting and the weather is covered in silver.

Huge trees with countless long icicles hanging from them formed this silent and quiet snowy forest. Except for the occasional sound of icicles broken by the cold wind hitting the ground, there was almost no sound at all.

Under a golden tree with a diameter of more than seven meters, nine figures were swaying.

A man jumped down from a tree next to the Jinlin tree. He was holding a big knife and gave some instructions to the nine people under the Jinlin tree.

The nine people under the tree immediately took out several ropes from their bodies, spread them on the ground, and then covered them with snow. Then they each grabbed one end of the rope and hid behind the trees nearby.

Seeing that everyone had hidden, the man with the knife raised his head and made a gesture towards a tree to the left of Jin Linshu.

Whoosh……

As soon as the man made the gesture, within two breaths, an arrow suddenly broke through the air from the tree on the left and shot straight above the golden tree.

The arrow was extremely fast and had terrifying power. It broke many thick icicles along the way and finally hit an unknown place, making a clear clanging sound.

"Roar…………"

Following the arrow was a terrifying roar of a cold beast.

On top of the golden tree, there was a four-meter-long adult snow-mane.

Snowmane jumped down from the tree, and his four strong hooves stepped down more than a meter into the snow. His two fangs stood upright, and he stared fiercely at the man with a knife who had been standing under the tree, his body ready to move.

There was a black arrow stuck in Xuezong's right cheek, about ten centimeters away from his eye. It was obviously the one that was shot from the tree on the left just now.

"Roar…………"

Snow Mane's pupils were stained with a hint of blood. He roared, kicked the ground with his hind legs, and rushed straight towards the man with a knife like a cannonball. The terrifying impact force lifted the snow on the ground along the way high up, like forming a white air wave, and rushed in front of the man in an instant.

"Pull the rope!"

The man with the knife remained calm. At a command, the nine people who had just hidden behind the trees nearby all exerted force at the same time and pulled the ropes in their hands hard.

stretch…………

The rope in the snow was immediately straightened by the nine people's sudden pull, just blocking the path that Snowmane had to take in his rush.

Snowmane was caught off guard and his legs were tripped. Although the terrifying impact force caused the nine people pulling the rope to stagger, his speed also slowed down suddenly, and his forelimbs were hooked. Due to the strong inertia, his body almost fell sideways.

The moment the nine people appeared, Xuezong's pupils suddenly shrank, as if he smelled a dangerous breath. After forcibly stabilizing his body, he stopped rushing forward and turned around, trying to escape.

"Want to run? It's not that easy!"

When Xuezong was about to fall sideways, the man with the knife had already rushed to his side. Seeing that Xuezong turned around and tried to escape, the man held the knife with both hands and chopped at Xuezong's head.

call…………

The blade cut through the air, making a whistling sound.

The cold edge of the broadsword reflected in his pupils, and Xuemang's ferocity seemed to be aroused. He turned his head, stretched out his two fangs, and rushed towards the broadsword.

Snowmane was cunning and knew how to use his hardest fangs to collide with the opponent's sword.

But the man with the knife would never do as he wished.

The moment Snow Mane rushed over, the man twisted his body suddenly and dodged to the left first. Then he held the sword horizontally, and when the time was right, he used the sharp blade as a sword and stabbed it directly into the right side of Snow Mane's neck.

Snowmane felt that his right neck was pierced several inches, and a hint of fear flashed across his pupils. However, he couldn't even control his violent strength, so he could only bite the bullet and continue to rush forward, trying to break through the big knife.

It’s a pity that the man with the knife never moved his hand holding the knife.

Tear…………

The blade had only penetrated a few inches, but with Snowmane's own violent impact, it went straight from the right neck, all the way to the abdomen and even the tail. The wound also expanded from a few inches deep to more than half a meter.

Even at the end, Snowmane stopped, with only half of the blade still exposed.

A stream of dark green blood gushed out from the wound. Snowmane turned his head and opened his mouth, wanting to stick out his tongue and make a dying struggle. Unfortunately, just as he stuck out his tongue, the man had already drawn out his sword and cut off his long tongue, which had not yet fully extended.

The long tongue broke, and Snowmane's furious and frightened pupils instantly dimmed. His body struggled twice on the snow before finally stopping.

call…………

The man then breathed a sigh of relief, looked at the snow mane on the ground, then looked down at the knife in his hand, a look of satisfaction on his face.

Seeing Xue Zong fall to the ground, the nine people who were pulling the rope nearby all came over happily, talking to each other.

"Leader, this Shocking Cold Blade is too powerful, isn't it?"

"The sword is strong, but the leader is even stronger. The impact of the snow mane is so terrifying. If it were us, even if we had a sword, we probably wouldn't be able to stop it."

"This Snowmane is quite cunning. His first reaction just now was to run away."

"Hahahaha, we don't have to rely on luck to hunt with a small torch in the future. With this knife, our Daxia can be said to have real hunting capabilities."

………………

This group of people are from the Daxia camp.

As soon as the knife was sharpened, it was just getting dark. Xia Hong didn't waste any time and took everyone to Hongmu Ridge to test the knife.

Xia Hong was in a very excited mood at the moment. Although he had used the ten-forged broadsword in the Rogue Camp, he was facing monsters at that time, and the fire oil and torches were what really came into play. The power of the iron tools was almost unnoticeable.

He had no idea how much effect the Shocking Cold Blade he had just swung would have on the cold beast until he tried it.

Now, looking at Xue Zong's body on the ground, Xia Hong naturally had an idea.

The ten-forged weapon can easily break through the defense of the low-level cold beast.

Of course, it also depends on the strength of the user. As Xia Chuan said just now, if they are holding the Jinghan Sword, even if they can break through Xue Zong's defense, they cannot withstand the terrifying impact force of over ten thousand pounds.

This was also the reason why, although there were knives in the Dashi camp, bows and arrows were still the main attack method when hunting.

As everyone was discussing, a man jumped down from a tree on the left. He was carrying a bow and arrow, and his right eye was covered with a piece of leather. He walked to the side of Xue Zong's body, first took out the black arrow stuck in his right face, and said to Xia Hong in a somewhat discouraged tone:
"Captain, my archery skills are still too poor. I can't be of much help!"

Xia Hong shook his head, patted Xu Ning on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "It's only been one day of practice, and this level is already good. Follow Shi Qing and his son to practice hard, and it will be a matter of time before you can hit the target every time."

Xu Ning's injury had healed long ago, but without his right eye, his strength is still not as good as before.

He was very anxious because he hadn't been out for a long time.

As soon as Xia Hong and others came back yesterday and returned the bow and arrow to Shi Qing, Xu Ning immediately went to find them.

Probably because he knew that Xu Ning had a request for Daxia and learned the purpose of his visit, Shi Qing directly gave him the bow and arrow that his younger brother Shi Dong had used before, and he also taught Xu Ning how to shoot arrows. He taught what he could explain directly, and let his son Shi Ping demonstrate what he needed to do.

His son Shi Ping and daughter Shi Lu both have outstanding archery talents, so they are more than capable of teaching Xu Ning, who has not yet mastered the art.

I don’t know if what Qiu Peng said was right, but Xu Ning’s talent in archery is really high, even Shi Qing couldn’t help but praise him.

The arrow just now was intended to hit Xue Zong's eyes, so as to cause the greatest damage. Although Xu Ning's shot was off target, it was not off by much and hit Xue Zong's face, only a dozen centimeters away from his eyes.

You know, Xu Ning has only practiced for one day at most so far.

In time, he will surely be a sharpshooter who never misses a shot.

"Okay, we won't cut down trees tonight. I'll make a few saws in the next few days. The eight of you carry Snowmane back first. Chuanhecheng, come with me to check on the status of the Ice Tree at Dashi Camp."

Yue Feng and the other eight people nodded, carrying Xue Zong and returning to the camp first.

Xia Chuan and Yuan Cheng followed Xia Hong and walked towards the location of the Bingshuo tree.
