Endless Winter: My Camp Upgrades Infinitely

The process of reshaping one's own skin might be different from others.

Xia Hong had long suspected this.

Judging from the current situation, the strength of a human at the Frost Resistance level is probably only comparable to a mid-level Frost Beast.

Yet, breaking through to just the Frost Resistance level requires the blood of hundreds of mid-level Frost Beasts.

No matter how you look at it, it seems unreasonable.

After fighting Yuwen Hu, this suspicion was confirmed.

The difficulty of reshaping his own skin is indeed different from others.

However, Xia Hong did not expect the difference to be so significant.

According to Gao Yu, when the basic strength reaches the limit of 30,000 pounds, the skin reshaping stage can only increase it by up to 20,000 pounds. When it reaches the limit of 50,000 pounds, the entire skin will be complete, achieving a state of no leakage. Breaking through to the Frost Resistance level will double the strength again.

That is 100,000 pounds, which humans in the Ice Abyss World collectively call "One Bristle of Strength."

Therefore, the standard for the Frost Resistance level is One Bristle of Strength.

Of course, this is for ordinary Frost Resistance level!

Just like different types of Frost Beasts have different strength limits, there are also some humans with extraordinary talents. Their skin's tolerance for pain and Frost Beast blood is much higher than that of ordinary people.

This group of people will have a longer skin reshaping stage than ordinary people, and they can absorb several times or even dozens of times more Frost Beast blood than ordinary people.

The so-called Battle Physique refers to the unique physique of this group of people.

With greater sacrifices, it is natural that people with Battle Physique talents will have a higher upper limit for strength improvement during this stage.

Generally speaking, Battle Physiques are divided into three grades: high, medium, and low.

The upper limit of strength during the skin reshaping stage is the benchmark.

100,000 pounds is the high grade; 80,000 pounds is the medium grade; 60,000 pounds is the low grade.

If the strength can reach 100,000 pounds in the skin stage, then when one cultivates a body without leakage and officially breaks through to the Frost Resistance level, the strength will double, and the basic strength will reach 200,000 pounds in one step, which is Two Bristles of Strength.

By analogy, even the lowest grade Battle Physique has a strength of 120,000 pounds when breaking through to the Frost Resistance level, which is 20% higher than the ordinary Frost Resistance level.

A 20% increase in strength is enough to determine many things.

"Of course, these strengths are by no means obtained out of thin air."

"In the Ice Abyss World, time is equivalent to life. This group of people with Battle Physiques, because they need to absorb more Frost Beast blood in order to save time breaking through to the Frost Resistance level, they often use Beast Blood beyond the limit."

"A normal person uses about two or three pounds at a time, which is almost the limit."

"Those with stronger willpower can use up to three to five pounds."

"But they use at least five pounds to start, and the highest can even reach ten pounds. The pain they have to endure is far beyond the imagination of ordinary people. Many people die directly in the process of using Beast Blood."

As Gao Yu's voice fell, the entire hall on the first floor was instantly silent.

Xia Hong's fear arose at this moment.

Of course, the fear only lasted for a while.

What he felt more in his heart was excitement.

At this moment, all seventeen members of the hunting team turned their heads to look at Xia Hong, their expressions changing from shock to horror, and finally to excitement.

"Ten pounds? Big Brother uses more than a hundred pounds every time, even two or three hundred pounds!"

"The leader uses at least a hundred pounds every time!"

… … … …

Xia Chuan, Luo Yuan, Yuan Cheng, Yue Feng, everyone in the hunting team, how could they not be excited at this moment.

According to Gao Yu, the more you use, the more you improve, and correspondingly, the higher the potential. After breaking through to the Frost Resistance level, the strength will inevitably be stronger.

"No wonder I asked the leader if he had broken through just now, and he didn't say anything!"

Recalling that Xia Hong remained silent when faced with his inquiry after defeating Yuwen Hu, Luo Yuan suddenly understood.

Xia Hong had not broken through to the Frost Resistance level at all.

Not only him, but also Xia Chuan and a few others who reacted faster immediately remembered.

He hasn't broken through yet, but his strength is comparable to Yuwen Hu.

Then, after breaking through, how strong will the leader's strength be?

They all turned to look at Xia Hong, their eyes full of admiration and fanaticism.

The others were already thinking like this, let alone Xia Hong himself.

The limit for a high-grade Battle Physique is only 100,000 pounds.

But his current strength is already close to 70,000 pounds, and that's only 31% progress!

Conservatively estimated, once he completes the skin reshaping stage, his basic strength can be raised to at least 150,000 pounds, and doubling after breaking through would be 300,000 pounds.

Three Bristles of Strength!

That's one Bristle of Strength more than a high-grade Battle Physique.

Then what kind of Battle Physique is he?

Above the high grade, is there an exquisite grade, or an even more powerful physique… …

Xia Hong suppressed his excitement and also suppressed his desire to ask questions. After calming down, he gave Xia Chuan and the others a "Don't make a fuss" look.

Everyone received his gaze and immediately understood, put away their excited expressions, and their faces calmed down.

Even if this Gao Yu is polite, as far as the camp is concerned, he is just a stranger of unknown origin after all.

Moreover, his strength is much stronger than their own.

Although there is a wooden training dummy to rely on, they still need to maintain some vigilance.

"Although I have never set foot in this Shuanglong Mountain, I have scouted it several times. It spans at least two to three hundred miles from east to west. Not to mention Frost Beasts, I'm afraid there are many monsters in it. Brother Gao can cross it alone, so his strength must be far beyond ordinary people, Frost Resistance level… … … …"

Xia Hong didn't finish his words. The last three words were hesitant, and at the same time, the look in his eyes when he looked up at Gao Yu also revealed obvious suspicion.

Based on the current activity area of Daxia, it is obviously impossible for a Frost Resistance level cultivator to cross more than two hundred miles of Shuanglong Mountain from the east to the west.

This Gao Yu is either hiding his strength, or he is not telling the truth!

Xia Hong's expression changed, and Xia Chuan, Luo Yuan, and others immediately reacted, all turning their heads to stare at Gao Yu, their expressions gradually becoming vigilant.

Faced with everyone's suspicious expressions, Gao Yu remained silent for a moment, then smiled bitterly twice and said: "Forget it, forget it, it seems I still can't hide it. I might as well just say it straight."

Having said this, Gao Yu paused, then turned to face everyone, directly unbuttoned his shirt, and exposed his chest.

"Hiss… … … …"

Xia Hong, including everyone else, couldn't help but gasp.

Gao Yu's bare chest was covered with countless tiny cracks.

Like shattered pottery, or the cracked earth after a drought, the exposed bright red flesh in the middle of those cracks was very obvious, and the shape was really terrifying.

It was hard to believe that Gao Yu, who had been smiling lightly and communicating with them gently, had such terrifying injuries on his body.

"Was this done by a monster?"

Xia Hong frowned slightly and asked.

Such injuries were obviously not something that Frost Beasts or humans could inflict.

Gao Yu turned around, facing the refining furnace with his back to everyone, first put on his clothes, then turned around and sat down, nodding lightly to Xia Hong:

"That's right, it was a mid-level Fierce Monster… …"

After saying that, he paused for a moment before continuing to explain:

"Ten days ago, I went into Shuanglong Mountain from the village to hunt. Originally, the area I hunted in was at most ten miles outside Shuanglong Mountain, but I was unlucky that day and encountered a monster not long after entering."

"Not only could that monster control many Frost Beasts at the same time, but it could also shoot out evil light that would fragment people's bodies. I was accidentally hit and chased all the way by it. In a panic, I accidentally crossed Shuanglong Mountain and arrived here."

As Gao Yu's voice fell, everyone, including Xia Hong, stood up with a whoosh, turned their heads to look at the sky above the valley, and then looked at Gao Yu, their eyes filled with anger.

"Don't worry, don't worry, I already got rid of that monster halfway. The four Frost Beasts it controlled have also been killed by me. It won't follow me here, so please rest assured!"

Even though Gao Yu explained it very quickly, the expressions on Xia Chuan and the others' faces still did not relax, they all just turned their heads to look at Xia Hong.

Xia Hong was looking at Gao Yu at this moment, his brows furrowed, and he was extremely annoyed in his heart.

As expected, strangers don't bring good things!

He came to escape, and was chased by a mid-level monster.

Gao Yu made it sound good, that the monster wouldn't chase over, but could he guarantee it?

A wooden puppet monster that hadn't even been promoted to the mid-level almost slaughtered the entire Redwood Ridge human beings.

What if a genuine mid-level monster was attracted?

Being able to control multiple Frost Beasts at the same time and shoot out evil light that fragments people's bodies, these two abilities alone are enough to bring huge trouble to Daxia. How could Xia Hong not be annoyed?

If it weren't for Gao Yu's strength being too strong, and his polite attitude from beginning to end, and he didn't deliberately hide anything from him, Xia Hong would probably have started cursing and driven him away now.

Seeing the expressions on everyone's faces, Gao Yu obviously realized that he was no longer welcome. After thinking for a long time, he finally showed a trace of helplessness, clasped his hands towards Xia Hong, and said:

"Brother Xia, this matter is indeed my fault, but I am injured right now and not familiar with the surroundings. I only ask to stay in Daxia for five days, and I will leave immediately when my injury is almost recovered, how about that?"

Even though Gao Yu's tone was already pleading, Xia Chuan and the others immediately shook their heads, all showing refusal on their faces.

Xia Hong remained silent and did not speak.

Seeing this, Gao Yu knew there was still hope, and immediately continued to add:

"Of course, if that monster really comes during this time, I will not leave without saying goodbye. I will definitely stay and advance and retreat with Brother Xia!"

Xia Hong frowned slightly, looked at Gao Yu, and muttered even more in his heart.

This person's appearance is really inexplicable;

To be honest, he doesn't completely believe Gao Yu's words even now.

But the problem is, this person really doesn't seem bad, and his attitude is fine.

Although his words still have loopholes, they can barely be justified.

Being chased by strange creatures and fleeing here in a panic, with such serious injuries, it can be explained why he was evasive before and unwilling to explain things clearly.

After all, Gao Yu is a stranger to Great Xia, and Great Xia is also a stranger to him. They are wary, and naturally, he is also wary.

The main thing is that five days is a bit long...

Thinking that there might be a big trouble following behind him, or even that big trouble might be staring at the Great Xia camp from above the valley, Xia Hong pondered for a long time, then took a deep breath and said:

"Two days, I can only shelter you for two days at most. Leave when the time is up. Although my Great Xia camp is small, it has more than a thousand people. I hope Brother Gao will understand!"

Xia Hong doesn't consider himself a warm-hearted person, but he really can't do something like watching someone die without helping.

Looking at the wound on Gao Yu's chest, let alone five days, without special treatment, it probably wouldn't heal in ten days or half a month. He himself probably doesn't have the idea of staying in the camp to heal his injuries, just resting his feet here.

Since that's the case, then two days is enough!

Sure enough, upon hearing "two days", a smile immediately appeared on Gao Yu's face.

"Thank you, Brother Xia. I am very grateful, and I will definitely leave after two days!"

"You're welcome, it's just a small effort."

Xia Hong waved his hand casually, then called Shi Ping and asked him to arrange a room for Gao Yu on the first floor.

The latest novels are first published on 69shu.com!

Sheltering him in the camp for two days is indeed a small effort, and it doesn't require any effort. Moreover, the other party also gave four intermediate-level Frost Beasts. If you don't consider that intermediate-level strange creature, you will definitely make a profit.

After instructing Shi Ping, he took Xia Chuan and others directly to the second floor.

Shi Ping led the cheerful Gao Yu to a vacant room, politely told him a few things to pay attention to, and then turned and left.

Alone in the room, as soon as Shi Ping left, the cheerful expression on Gao Yu's face was immediately replaced by competence. A gleam appeared in his eyes, and after thinking for a moment, he chuckled twice:

"This weak Great Xia actually has such a divine object. Interesting, interesting..."

...\n\n...\n\n...\n\n...

"Leader, it's not appropriate to keep that person for two days, is it?"

As soon as he went to the second floor, Xia Chuan couldn't wait to speak.

Luo Yuan and the others also nodded, obviously agreeing with Xia Chuan.

"That person's appearance is indeed a bit inexplicable. We have never seen the materials of his clothes and weapons. He crossed the Twin Dragon Mountains at the Frost Resistance level and suffered such serious injuries. The more I think about it, the more wrong it feels."

"Even if his origin is unknown, if what he said is true, it is very likely to attract an intermediate-level strange creature; if it is false, then he has other purposes. Whether it is true or false, we should not keep him."

"He only mentioned Shenwu Village, but didn't explain it in detail..."

After hearing Xia Chuan and Luo Yuan's words, everyone nodded. Only when Yuan Cheng said the last sentence did everyone turn to look at him, their expressions becoming a little strange, including Xia Hong.

"That's right, it's not appropriate to rashly inquire about other people's camp situation!"

Yuan Cheng smiled embarrassedly, obviously realizing the problem with his words.

Xia Hong looked back at everyone, not in a hurry to speak. In his heart, he had a few appreciations for everyone's vigilance.

He thought that he was the only one who didn't fully trust that Gao Yu.

It seems that Xia Chuan, Luo Yuan, and the others are the same.

"There is indeed a problem, but the other party's strength is there. It's not okay to refuse directly. We don't know how much his injuries affect his strength. If we really drive him away, what if he doesn't leave, or after he leaves, he bears a grudge and causes trouble for the camp?"

Xia Hong didn't reason with everyone, but calmly stated the facts.

Upon hearing this, everyone was stunned for a moment, then silently lowered their heads.

"Even with the addition of five wooden training dummies, I am not sure of defeating him. So, rather than saying that sheltering him is my decision, it is better to say that it is a decision made jointly by me, you, and the current strength of the camp."

Hearing Xia Hong's increasingly blunt words, the cheeks of Xia Chuan and the other seventeen people suddenly became a little hot, and they felt a little ashamed in their hearts.

Xia Hong's meaning is very clear.

That is, the current strength of the Great Xia camp does not have the qualifications to refuse others.

They may not be able to bear the price of forcibly refusing.

The current strength of the camp does not only refer to Xia Hong alone.

These seventeen people are currently the highest combat power of Great Xia.

However, after witnessing and participating in the duel between Xia Hong and Yuwen Hu, the seventeen people all knew in their hearts that facing a Frost Resistance level powerhouse, the seventeen of them were actually no different from decorations.

After all, the iron arrows they shot from the ten-stone bow couldn't even penetrate Yuwen Hu's flesh, let alone use a knife at close range.

Speed, strength, reaction force, the Frost Resistance level is enough to kill them instantly.

"It's a good thing to question me, but when considering things, the gap in strength must be taken into account. I would like to drive people away, but my strength does not allow it..."

Speaking of this, Xia Hong paused for a moment, his expression slightly sinking, and continued:

"The other party's attitude is polite, it's just a choice. With his strength, even if he is not polite, we can't do anything about him!"

Xia Chuan and the others first nodded, then clenched their fists under their sleeves, and their desire for power rose to the extreme again.

This kind of situation where they know that the other party has a problem but still dare not refuse is really uncomfortable, and it feels like everything is in the hands of others.

"Remember, strength is the foundation for making all decisions."

"Yes, Leader!"

Seeing that Xia Chuan and the others responded in unison, Xia Hong nodded and led everyone all the way to the camp's supply station.

"Greetings, Leader, everyone!"

Tong Xinglong and the other three who were responsible for handling the prey saluted Xia Hong and the others, and immediately led them into the slaughterhouse.

In the slaughterhouse, the huge corpses of seven Frost Beasts were being processed.

Xia Hong directly bypassed the three Snow Mane and Magic Sheep in front and went straight to the four unfamiliar Frost Beasts behind, his eyes full of surprise.

"These four were just sent up by Shi Ping. He said that these two are called Firestone Tigers, and the other two are called Frost Electric Apes and Azure Thunder Roars respectively. I have never seen them before. Did the leader lead the team to hunt them down tonight?"

Tong Xinglong obviously didn't know that guests had arrived, and thought that the four prey were all brought back by Xia Hong's team.

Xia Chuan and the others immediately came up to explain to Tong Xinglong.

Xia Hong focused on looking at the four Frost Beasts he had never seen before. The four of them were all about ten meters long, which was indeed the size of intermediate-level Frost Beasts.

The Firestone Tiger's body surface is black, but its whole body of fur is fiery red, and its four claws are sharp and thick, and it looks like its strength is very amazing;

The Frost Electric Ape's body surface is blue, with short black curly manes, and its whole body is muscular and knotted. The chest area is like it is wearing four pieces of extremely hard armor;

The last Azure Thunder Roar has a shape a bit like a lion, but its skin is glowing blue, and the fur covering its body is also azure. Two fangs more than three meters long are inserted on both sides of that bloody mouth, and the shape is quite scary.

The appearance is only secondary, Xia Hong scanned the four prey in turn, and his eyes gradually became serious.

The four prey, there is not a single scar on their bodies, all of them have a round sword hole in their foreheads.

Xia Hong walked to the forehead position of a Firestone Tiger, pulled out the ceremonial saber, aimed at the sword hole, and inserted it downwards.

The 1.5-meter blade of the ceremonial saber was instantly completely submerged, leaving only a hilt on the outside.

Xia Hong swayed it left and right twice, and noticed that the flesh and blood in the Firestone Tiger's skull had been completely stirred up, and his expression immediately froze.

"Leader?"

"What's the situation?"

...\n\n...\n\n...\n\n...

Xia Chuan and the others noticed the change in Xia Hong's expression and immediately gathered around.

Without Xia Hong needing to speak, seeing the Firestone Tiger's wound, Xia Chuan and the others immediately reacted, and then successively checked the wounds of the other three Frost Beasts, and their expressions immediately became the same as Xia Hong's.

Judging only from the wounds, even if it wasn't a one-hit kill, the process of Gao Yu hunting down the four Frost Beasts was so simple that it was probably far beyond their imagination.

The other party had previously said that these four Frost Beasts were controlled by strange creatures.

If what he said is true, then that is to say, he was escaping from strange creatures while still being able to easily kill four intermediate-level Frost Beasts.

"This Gao Yu's strength is probably far beyond our imagination..."

Hearing Xia Chuan's words, Xia Hong frowned, pondered for a long time, and then faced everyone and said in a deep voice:

"It just so happens that the matter with the Mirror Immortal Camp is not over yet. For these two days, the hunting team, the gathering team, and the logging team, all outdoor activities in the camp will be stopped first, and no one is allowed to go out.

During this time, Xia Chuan, you personally lead people to inspect the surroundings of the valley, especially the top, and replenish the solidified fire oil that needs to be replenished. Report any abnormalities to me in time.

In addition, quietly inform everyone that during these two days, do not let anyone communicate with that Gao Yu, especially children, and keep an eye on them!"

"Yes, Leader!"

This Gao Yu definitely has a problem.

It is not yet known whether these four Frost Beasts were killed before he was injured, or after he was injured.

If it is the former, then it is still okay;

If it is the latter...

Xia Hong's eyes trembled slightly, and a shadow suddenly shrouded his heart.

"Quickly drain the blood from these seven Frost Beasts and send them to my room!"

After instructing Xia Chuan, Xia Hong immediately turned and went to the third floor.

Xia Chuan instructed Tong Xinglong to hurry up and do it, then stayed in place and looked at Luo Yuan and the others for a moment, their expressions gradually becoming worried.

"Let's speed up our cultivation. If our strength is not good, there is danger everywhere!"

After saying that, Luo Yuan was the first to turn and leave.

“We can't rely on the leader for everything; we need to step up our game.”

Yuan Cheng also said in a deep voice before leaving second.

The others didn't say anything, but they followed closely behind and returned to their rooms, clearly to seize the time to cultivate.
