Endless Winter: My Camp Upgrades Infinitely

If the timing wasn't wrong, Xia Hong would have praised Xia Chuan.

He was originally worried that his younger brother was too young and impetuous, but he didn't expect him to be so quick-witted.

Judging from the expressions on Wang Ming's group of four.

They should be the only ones coming tonight.

Xia Hong narrowed his eyes, looked at the four of them, and finally focused on the big saber in Wang Ming's hand, considering whether to keep them here.

He dared to come out tonight because he had something to rely on.

Little did he know that Xia Hong's scrutinizing posture, in Wang Ming's eyes, meant that he was considering whether to notify Xia Ding to come over.

He, Wang Ming, wasn't afraid of three young guys fighting desperately.

But if they couldn't take them down in a short time, or if one of them slipped away and really called Xia Ding and his people over, it would be a never-ending situation.

No, if Xia Ding really brought more than a dozen Lumbering Realm people over.

Even with this big saber, the four of them would be dead tonight.

Wang Ming thought for a moment and quickly made a decision.

"Two nephews, there's no need for this. We'll leave the crystal fruits and go. We'll never trespass on the Great Xia territory again. Farewell!"

Once Wang Ming made a decision, he didn't hesitate. He told his companions to put the picked crystal fruits on the ground, said goodbye, and quickly led the three of them towards the west, leaving without looking back.

Xia Hong watched the four of them walk away, until they disappeared from sight. After a while, he turned his head and gave Xia Chuan a thumbs up.

"Good kid, that was your doing!"

Xia Chuan smiled and said, "We definitely can't beat them, so we can only bluff and scare them away."

Hearing this, Xia Hong raised his eyebrows slightly, but didn't say anything.

At the moment, it was obviously unwise to have a direct conflict with the Great Stone Camp.

Since Xia Ding and the Lumbering Team had been missing for more than a month, the people of the Great Stone Camp must have noticed it.

Otherwise, they wouldn't dare to cross the border so blatantly to plunder.

If the time was a little longer, it would be hard to guarantee that they wouldn't guess something else.

The previous three times, Xia Hong encountered them with more than seven people, so he could only endure it.

But tonight, the other party only sent four people, and there were no archers.

Xia Hong would not miss such a great opportunity, of course.

He believed that after this incident, the people of the Great Stone Camp should not be so rampant for a while.

"But we still have to find a way to let Yue Feng and the others break through as soon as possible. This kind of bluffing can only be used once or twice at most. Using it too much will expose us."

Xia Chuan and Yuan Cheng had already carried the crystal fruits on the ground. Sensing that they weighed more than a thousand pounds, smiles appeared on their faces.

It was indeed worth being happy to have this harvest on their first outing.

"Alright, remember the location of the third Ice Shuo Tree. Next, follow me to cut down trees. Tonight, you two will each cut down one tree and take it back."

The two quickly agreed and followed Xia Hong.

… … … … … …

To the east of Redwood Ridge, on the north side of the earthen slope where the Great Xia Camp was located, there was a straight hill about a hundred meters high.

The hill was shaped like a vertical tower, about fifty or sixty meters long horizontally. The top was completely covered with white snow, and only the extending trees were pressed down by the snowflakes. The rest of the hillside was made up of dark black stones.

Not only were the stones black, but their surfaces were also covered with a thick layer of crystals, which were obviously formed by the long-term freezing of cold air.

A long vine hung on the east side of the hill.

At this moment, there were four figures rapidly climbing up the vine.

Although it was more than a hundred meters high, the four of them moved very quickly, and had already climbed to the top of the hill in a few minutes.

The top of the hill was a platform fifty meters wide, without a single tree.

After the four arrived at the top of the hill, they walked straight to the middle, peeled open a snow-covered area, and a five-meter-wide square wooden board immediately came into view.

The leader skillfully uncovered the wooden board, and below it was an opening three meters in diameter, and a gleam of firelight was immediately revealed from the opening.

The four jumped into the cave one by one, and the last one who went down also brought the wooden board with him and covered the opening again.

Below the opening was a super large square space more than thirty meters in diameter.

Moreover, this space was a full thirty or forty meters from the top to the ground, and a layer was separated by wood and stone in the middle.

On the stone floor, a bonfire more than two meters high was burning.

Three or four hundred people were gathered around the bonfire, talking and laughing.

There were also a few children playing around.

The spirit of the people here was obviously much better than that of the Great Xia side.

As soon as the four jumped down, one person in the crowd immediately greeted them with a smile.

However, when he got closer and saw that the four of them had nothing in their hands, the man's face immediately showed doubt.

"Lao Wang, why did you come back empty-handed?"

"Bad luck, don't mention it. Where's the boss? I have something to tell him."

"Practicing archery at the bottom level."

"Okay, we'll go over first."

Wang Ming responded with a few words and quickly walked towards the east side of the cave.

The stone wall on the east side sloped slightly downwards. Wang Ming walked down the slope and soon reached the bottom level of the cave.

The bottom level was not much different from the upper level, and there was also a bonfire, but it was smaller than the one above.

There were two people beside the bonfire, facing a wooden board on the wall, holding bows and shooting arrows.

"Boss, there's a situation at Redwood Ridge."

Hearing Wang Ming's words, the two put down their bows and arrows at the same time and turned to look at him.

Both of them were middle-aged, and their body types were quite similar, both being thin and wiry, with calluses on their hands holding the bows.

Not only their body types, but even their appearances were about seventy percent similar.

However, the person on the left had a scar an inch long across his face, which, combined with his fierce expression and slightly dark complexion, made him look extremely fierce.

The one on the right was three points whiter than the former, and his face was very kind.

Wang Ming walked directly towards the person on the right.

Obviously, the boss in his mouth was the one on the right.

Seeing Wang Ming approaching, the man narrowed his eyes and asked calmly:

"What's the situation?"

"I went to pick crystal fruits on the periphery and ran into three people from Great Xia."

"Lao Ding?"

"No, it's his two sons."

Hearing Wang Ming's answer, Shi Qing was stunned for a moment, then showed an unbelievable look, and asked again: "Lao Ding's two sons, are you sure?"

Wang Ming thought for a moment, nodded, and said with certainty: "I'm sure, I saw those two kids clearly, they look a lot like Lao Ding, and their ages are right, they must be his sons."

"How old are his two sons? Where would Great Xia's thirteen people get extra cold beast meat to give his two sons to cultivate?"

Shi Dong exclaimed in surprise.

But after he finished speaking, he turned his head and realized that his elder brother Shi Qing's face had become a little unsightly.

Although Shi Dong had a violent personality, he was not stupid, and immediately realized the key.

"Brother, do you suspect that the last time the Snow Mane was picked up by Lao Ding and his people?"

Wang Ming slapped his forehead and suddenly realized: "That's right, it must be like this. Great Xia's side has thirteen people, and their strength is far worse than ours. Over the years, they can only rely on luck to pick up some cold beast corpses. It's not enough for them to cultivate themselves, let alone have extra cold beast meat for their two sons. It must be that Snow Mane."

The three reached a consensus, and their faces suddenly became extremely ugly.

The last time they hunted that Snow Mane, they paid a total of three lives, and the one with the knife was Shi Qing's third brother, Shi Kong.

As a result, they fled in panic, without gaining anything.

Now that they learned that the Great Xia Camp had picked up the bargain, their mood can be imagined.

Not only did they pick up the bargain, but it was even very likely that the people of the Great Xia Camp had been hiding in the dark when they hunted the Snow Mane last time.

They only came out to pick up the bargain after they ran away.

"How dare they play such dirty tricks behind our backs? I'll personally lead the team to Redwood Ridge in a few days. I want to see what Great Xia's strength is now."

Shi Qing's tone was森然, and his originally kind face instantly sank a lot.

The faces of Shi Dong and Wang Ming next to him were even more filled with indignation.
