Endless Winter: My Camp Upgrades Infinitely

#82 - Outsmarting the Frostwolves

How could we run into a pack of Bone-Spiked Frost Wolves?

And fifteen of them at once?

This isn't Redwood Ridge, not even the outer edges.

Although his mind was full of confusion, Xia Hong had no time to think about it.

Roar… Roar…

The Frost Wolf charging towards him was at least two and a half meters long, and its sharp, dense fangs were only half a meter away from his forehead. The long barbs around its neck had even scratched two long wounds on his arm.

Xia Hong held his saber against the Frost Wolf's lower jaw. Noticing that the Frost Wolf's strength was less than his, he jumped back, pulling the Frost Wolf backward. He twisted the Jinghan Saber, aimed it at the Frost Wolf's back, and thrust it in.

Whoosh…

Although the Frost Wolf's strength was not as great as his, its speed was astonishingly fast. As if sensing the cold light on its back, it twisted and dodged.

Missing the strike, Xia Hong was a little disappointed. He quickly turned his head to observe the situation of the others.

This look immediately made his heart sink.

Yuan Cheng had already been knocked to the ground by a Frost Wolf. Xia Chuan and Yue Feng rushed over to rescue him, but before they could make a move, another Frost Wolf had already set its sights on them.

Lin Kai, Xu An, Li Yuankun, and Liu Yuan were also entangled by two Frost Wolves. The four of them were using stone axes, which not only couldn't harm the Frost Wolves, but they were also being crushed by the Frost Wolves' speed advantage. Before long, multiple wounds had appeared on their bodies.

The seven Logging Realm cultivators brought by Luo Ming were in even worse shape. One had already been bitten to death and was being devoured by a Frost Wolf. The remaining six were no match for the three Frost Wolves and could only rely on the two who had sabers to barely hold on.

Xu Kang and Luo Ming, like himself, were entangled by the two strongest wolves in the pack. Judging from the situation, it was obvious that they couldn't resolve the situation quickly.

Swish… Swish… Swish, swish…

The only ones who could be considered lucky were the ordinary people who were fleeing from the camp.

Arrows kept shooting towards them from the five trees behind them. The four Frost Wolves that were targeting the ordinary people were not only blocked, but two of them had even been shot with four or five arrows.

However, the parts that were hit were all on the back, which obviously didn't cause fatal injuries.

Huff…

A gust of wind rushed towards him. Xia Hong turned around abruptly and slashed horizontally with his saber, hitting the barbs on the Frost Wolf's neck. However, he didn't cut them off, he just used the impact to dodge.

Xia Hong scanned the physiques of the wolf pack and noticed that the density of the arrows shot down from the trees was getting lower and lower. Realizing that Li Baihe and the others might be running out of arrows soon, he became even more anxious.

The three strongest ones were entangling himself, Luo Ming, and Xu Kang; the eight slightly smaller ones were dealing with the Logging Realm cultivators; and the other four were chasing the main group.

This Frost Wolf pack was obviously well-organized. The howls they made before charging over were probably to arrange the formation.

They're here to wipe out our group!

Thinking of the information about wolf packs from his previous life, Xia Hong's heart sank. He turned his head and glanced towards Redwood Ridge.

Could there be a wolf king in this pack?

No, regardless of whether there is or not, he can't delay any longer.

Xia Hong turned his head to look at the ordinary people, gritted his teeth, and shouted at the trees: "Don't worry about that side, take care of these three big ones first, or everyone will die!"

The arrows from the five trees, which were already sparse, stopped immediately after Xia Hong's voice fell.

It took more than ten breaths before the five people on the trees seemed to have figured it out. They quickly turned their arrows and frantically shot at the Frost Wolves on Xia Hong's side.

Swish, swish, swish…

Before the arrows arrived, Xia Hong had already put the Jinghan Saber in his left hand. Taking advantage of the gap when the Frost Wolf pounced on him, he grabbed the Frost Wolf's abdomen with his right hand, stomped his feet on the ground, and clamped it tightly, not letting it move.

Puchi…

After three consecutive arrows missed, one arrow finally shot into the Frost Wolf's ear. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Xia Hong suddenly released his right hand and switched to holding the saber with both hands. He exerted force with his waist and legs, twisted his body, and slashed fiercely at the Frost Wolf's neck.

The barbs on the Frost Wolf's neck weren't cut off just now because it used its agility to deflect most of Xia Hong's strength. This time was different. The Frost Wolf's eardrum was shot and it was in pain, and its body was already staggering, plus Xia Hong grasped the timing perfectly.

Crack…

Several barbs on the Frost Wolf's neck were cut off by Xia Hong's slash.

The Jinghan Saber had even cut three or four centimeters into its neck.

But even so, the Frost Wolf struggled on the ground a few times and quickly got up, as if it had no injuries at all.

However, judging from its fearful eyes and hesitant steps, Xia Hong's slash had clearly given it a great shock.

"Help, help…"

"Run, they're catching up."

"Run, run."

"Don't block me, you in front, run!"

The commotion coming from the north made Xia Hong's face even more anxious.

Letting the five archers on the trees ignore the ordinary people over there was a cruel move, but it was undoubtedly the best choice for the current situation.

Xia Hong tentatively took a step to the left, and found that the Frost Wolf immediately moved in his direction. He quickly raised his saber as if to charge forward, and the Frost Wolf was immediately frightened and retreated wildly.

As expected, this Frost Wolf is scared!

Xia Hong kept a close eye on it and turned to rescue Yuan Cheng, who had been knocked down.

But when he turned his head, he realized that Yuan Cheng had already stood up.

Not only had he stood up, but the Frost Wolf that had knocked him down had also lost an eye, and green blood was gurgling out.

Xia Hong was stunned, and then he saw Xia Chuan beside Yuan Cheng, holding a small knife in his left hand, with a hint of excitement on his face. He immediately understood.

Good kid, you've got guts!

Xia Hong didn't dare to delay. He looked towards the north and found that the ordinary people at the very back were already in a chaotic mess, and the four Frost Wolves were still slaughtering them. He immediately turned his head and shouted to everyone.

"Don't get entangled here, follow the main group. Just block these Frost Wolves and don't let them kill people, move!"

Xia Chuan, Yuan Cheng, and the others who had already escaped quickly followed orders. Li Baihe and the five archers on the trees also quickly came down and first leaned towards the ordinary people in the north, driving away the four Frost Wolves and preventing them from continuing to kill.

After driving away the four Frost Wolves in the rear, Li Baihe and the other five did not continue to escape, but stopped and kept shooting arrows to interfere with the Frost Wolves, creating opportunities for the other Logging Realm cultivators to break away from the battle.

Xia Hong, Luo Ming, and Xu Kang waited until all the Logging Realm cultivators had almost retreated before taking advantage of Li Baihe's arrow interference to escape and quickly catch up with the main group.

Looking at the dozens of corpses on the ground, Xia Hong's face suddenly became extremely ugly.

Just now, it was only a hundred breaths of time at most, and those four Frost Wolves were able to kill so many people. If they had been any slower, it would have been terrible.

Xia Hong looked up at the fifteen Frost Wolves that had regrouped, and although he was resentful, he had to accept reality.

"Don't retreat, stand here and block them, just don't let them rush past!"

Xia Hong and Luo Ming, the four Earth Digging Realm cultivators, stood on the left and right sides respectively, with the others in the middle. Everyone stood in place, their eyes fixed on the Frost Wolf pack.

Seeing that the crowd didn't move, the fifteen Frost Wolves, although approaching, slowed down and their movements became smaller and smaller.

The increasing fear in their pupils was also clearly visible.

Especially the one that was injured by Xia Hong just now, its pace was very slow, even lagging behind the other two strong Frost Wolves by a body length.

"Huff…"

Seeing that the Frost Wolves didn't dare to rush up immediately, Xia Hong breathed a sigh of relief.

This is what happens when intelligence is high. They are smart, but they also tend to overthink.

Frankly speaking, with their few people, it was absolutely impossible to block these fifteen Frost Wolves and protect the ordinary people in the camp.

Even if they risked their lives, they might not win.

To save their lives, they could only win by surprise.

"Chief Luo, Chief Xia, we're here to help!"

Suddenly, two voices came from the crowd behind.

Xia Hong and Luo Ming turned their heads and their faces immediately showed joy.
