Endless Winter: My Camp Upgrades Infinitely

A snowy night, the dense, pale trees piecing together the silhouette of Crimsonwood Ridge.

Fierce winds and solitude are the main themes of this forest, and they have never changed.

Although it's surrounded by nine camps, with an initial combined population of three to four thousand, this number is still far too small for such a large area as Crimsonwood Ridge.

When the territory was initially divided, even a strong camp like Rogue Camp dared only operate within a one-kilometer radius around Crimsonwood Ridge. Not to mention the other eight camps, whose activity range was limited to only five hundred meters on the periphery.

This standard was not arbitrarily set, but was explored and established with human lives by Luo Feng, the previous leader of Rogue Camp, along with his hunting team.

The outermost five hundred meters of Crimsonwood Ridge are basically only occupied by low-level Frost Beasts; further inside, the number of mid-level Frost Beasts increases significantly; and if you go even deeper, within a thousand meters, there are basically only mid-level Frost Beasts.

The logic is simple: the further into Crimsonwood Ridge you go, the larger the trees grow, and Frost Beasts are creatures that like to perch in trees. Therefore, the Frost Beasts that can occupy the big trees inside are definitely not easy to deal with.

Therefore, even though so many camps know that the depths of Crimsonwood Ridge hold inexhaustible resources, no one has dared to cross the line over the years.

Including Rogue Camp, which is the only one with hunting qualifications.

Even low-level Frost Beasts mostly have strength above eight thousand pounds. Stronger, prime-aged Frost Beasts can even exceed ten thousand pounds. If humans want to directly confront low-level Frost Beasts, they need at least Earth-Digging Realm cultivation.

Not to mention those mid-level, or even high-level, Frost Beasts.

This can also be considered one of humanity's predicaments.

Compared to them, Frost Beasts seem to be the species favored by this world.

Fifteen years ago, Luo Ming took over the position of leader from his father, Luo Feng. Although he has led hunting teams countless times, he has always followed the rules and never ventured deeper than a thousand meters into Crimsonwood Ridge.

So, when he crossed the thousand-meter boundary for the first time,

he was somewhat excited.

On the surface, the difference between the inside and the periphery doesn't seem significant, but by carefully observing the surrounding trees, one can find many details that are quite different.

In the periphery, the tree species are mainly Crimson Frost, followed by Gold Chill, and the least common is Ice Shard. Here, it's mainly Gold Chill, followed by Crimson Frost, and Ice Shard trees are the least common. Besides these three, there are also seven or eight species that Luo Ming has never seen on the periphery.

Secondly, there's the density of Frost Beasts. Luo Ming raised his head and, with just a cursory glance, his experienced eyes immediately recognized that at least three Frost Beasts were perched on more than a dozen surrounding trees.

Moreover, judging by their size, two of them are mid-level.

This made Luo Ming unconsciously slow down his pace again, trying to minimize any noise.

Although Frost Beasts sleep soundly at night and generally won't wake up unless provoked, they are, after all, mid-level Frost Beasts. There would still be danger if any accidents were to occur.

Luo Ming turned his head, looked at Shi Qing, who was following behind him with a still gloomy expression, and immediately stopped, walked to his side, and patted him on the shoulder:

"Shi Qing, don't worry. We're so close, and with those two adults watching, nothing will happen to your brother. Even if that Puppet Fiend really comes, they have bone whistles. One blow, and we'll rush over to help."

Shi Qing forced a smile, then a hesitant look appeared on his face, and he was about to speak.

Suddenly—

Bee… … … …

As if to confirm Luo Ming's words, just as Shi Qing was about to speak, a crisp bone whistle sound came from the left.

Both men's expressions changed drastically. Shi Qing was the first to react, drawing the bow from his back and sprinting towards the left, an iron arrow already nocked on the string.

Luo Ming quickly followed him, and within a few breaths, the two arrived at the location where the bone whistle had sounded.

But when they arrived and saw what was happening, both of their faces changed immediately.

Not far away, Shi Dong was limping towards them, with two figures chasing closely behind him.

The reason for the change in their expressions was not that Shi Dong was being chased, but that they both recognized the two figures chasing him.

"Wang Rui, Sun Xinzhu, what's going on? Why are you trying to kill Shi Dong?"

"They aren't Wang Rui and Sun Xinzhu. They've already been replaced. They suddenly ambushed me just now."

Shi Dong's voice was full of shock and anger. He ran while barely managing to nock an arrow and shoot at the two behind him, but he was already injured in the leg, and now he was panicking, so he couldn't aim accurately.

Whoosh… … … … Whoosh… …

Fortunately, Shi Qing had already reacted at this point.

Wang Rui and Sun Xinzhu's expressions were wooden, obviously abnormal. Shi Qing confirmed that there was indeed something wrong with them, and shot two arrows in quick succession, one to the left and one to the right, to stop them from getting close to Shi Dong.

After Shi Qing fired two arrows, Shi Dong was successfully rescued and reached his and Luo Ming's side.

Shi Dong was covered in cold sweat. He lifted his leg to reveal a seven- or eight-inch-long wound that was bleeding profusely. He grabbed a handful of snow from the ground and patted it on the wound before raising his head and speaking to the two of them:

"Just now, in the forest, they said they were going to relieve themselves. In less than a quarter of an hour, they were replaced by that fiend. My leg was cut by them."

Luo Ming and Shi Qing exchanged a look, both of their faces full of solemnity.

"Hu Zi, over here."

"Where do you think you're going, you beast!"

Just as the two were about to speak, Yang Ning and Li Hu's furious shouts suddenly exploded not far away. The two of them, along with Shi Dong, turned their heads to look.

Two or three hundred meters away, Yang Ning and Li Hu, holding knives and swords, had already charged to the base of a large tree six or seven meters thick.

Li Hu slightly narrowed his eyes, exchanged a glance with Yang Ning, then tightened his grip on the knife, suddenly inhaled, his arm muscles bulging high, and raised the knife over his back towards the large tree in front of him, violently slashing horizontally.

He wouldn't… … … … be trying to cut that tree down, would he?

How could he possibly cut it down with one strike?

The question flashed through Luo Ming's mind, and he immediately had an answer.

The newest and most complete novels are available at 6 9 Book Bar!

"Impossible!"

The Wild Goose Wing Blade in Li Hu's hand was at most less than two meters long.

And that tree had a diameter of six or seven meters.

Crack… … … … Bang… … … …

However, even at a distance of two or three hundred meters, the crisp sound of the tree breaking still reached this side.

A tree with a diameter of six or seven meters, cut down with one strike.

After the large tree fell to the ground, a black-clothed figure jumped out from the crown of the tree. It was the Puppet Fiend that had appeared last time.

Yang Ning and Li Hu quickly surrounded the Puppet Fiend from the left and right and began to fight.

Meanwhile, Luo Ming was still shocked by Li Hu's strike just now, and had not recovered for a long time.

"How could he possibly do that?"

Li Hu and Yang Ning's strength was indeed stronger than his own, but both of them had said that they were only Earth-Digging Realm.

Being both in the Earth-Digging Realm, how could the gap be so large?

"Leader Luo, we've arrived."

Luo Ming, who was in a state of shock, was awakened by someone.

Looking around, he realized that besides Shi Qing and Shi Dong, there were four more groups of people.

The Wang Rui and Sun Xinzhu over there, after losing control as the Puppet Fiend was besieged, directly fell to the ground and became corpses.

Among the four groups, there were four leaders. Two of them, upon seeing the corpses of Wang Rui and Sun Xinzhu, immediately looked extremely ugly.

"Four have died on my side, and with these two, another six have died."

"This is already the fourth wave. If this continues, all of our camps' Lumbering Realm battle power will die here!"

"Leader Luo, if we still can't kill that Puppet Fiend this time, please forgive us for no longer accompanying you. Your Rogue Camp is large and powerful, with many Lumbering Realm combatants, so it doesn't matter if a few die, but our small camps can't afford it."

The four of them spoke one after another, and even Shi Qing couldn't help but speak up from the side:

"Leader Luo, we really can't continue like this. We know that those two adults are capable, but we can't keep sending our brothers out as bait like this. If we still haven't killed that fiend this time, please forgive my Great Stone Camp for not accompanying you either!"

Hearing the five men's complaints, a trace of guilt flashed across Luo Ming's face, and he began to waver in his heart.

Brothers, the momentum is unabated, thank you. I'm still asking for it, and I guarantee a big explosion once the new book period is over, to give you all a good look. I only ask that you don't drag during this period, whether you're raising or reading the book, please take a few seconds to click a little, I'm extremely grateful!!!
