《Endless Winter: Infinite Upgrades to My Campsite》 Winter World Cold wind raging, ice and snow in the sky Under the shroud of night, the snow-covered sky-high trees were like a white tower towering in the wind, towering and immovable. Redwood Ridge to the east, outside an inconspicuous cave. Xia Hong set out a traditional long fist stance, adjusted breathing, eyes steeply sharp, and then suddenly swung his fist. After all, it is a meter nine physique, although it is not considered to be muscular, it is also tall and strong, a set of boxing down, the surrounding suddenly snowflakes flying. Abruptly, inside the cave came a young boy with a childish face, seeing Xia Hong, the young boy''s face carried a wave of admiration. ¡°Brother, you''re about to break through to the logging level, right?¡± ¡°Soon, it should only take a month.¡± ¡°Tsk, you''re too good, Father said, geniuses who broke through to the Vastwood level before the age of eighteen, only three have appeared in the nine surrounding camps, you''ll be the fourth.¡± Xia Hong raised his head, revealing a clear face inconsistent with his physique. Looking at the admiration on his younger brother Xia Chuan''s face, although Xia Hong''s heart was flattered, after calming down, he still slightly shook his head. ¡°Breaking through to the lumbering level is nothing, there are even digging levels over at the Luoge camp, that''s the real powerhouse.¡± When Xia Chuan heard ¡°Digging Ground Level¡±, a look of yearning appeared on his face. ¡°There are five earth-digging level powerhouses in the Luo Ge camp, I heard that they can extract thousands of kilograms of coal for the camp every day, not only do they not need to burn wood to heat their camp, but they can also use the coal stoves to build sharp weapons, and it''s a breeze to hunt and kill the low-grade cold beasts.¡± Xia Hong nodded slightly and said, ¡°After all, it''s a medium-sized camp of over five hundred people, if they didn''t have some strength, those cold beasts in the Redwood Ridge wouldn''t let them live so well.¡± ¡°It''s a pity that Father has injuries on his body, or else he would have been a Digging Ground-level powerhouse by now, and if we had coal in Daxia, maybe, it would have become a medium-sized camp.¡± There were three recognized criteria for a medium-sized camp, the first was a population of over five hundred; the second was that there must be an Earth-Digging level powerhouse; and the third was that it could cope with a wave of low-level cold beasts. The current population of the Daxia camp was only two hundred and thirty-nine, and there were thirteen Vastwood-level warriors. With this amount of strength, not to mention the wave of cold beasts, if a slightly stronger mid-level cold beast came, everyone in the camp would be reduced to rations. ¡°Rogue camp is too stingy, if only they were willing to sell us some coal.¡± ¡°Coal can not only be used for heating and iron making but it can also be used as an equivalent to exchange for high-level materials at the giant camps, the Rogue Camp itself doesn''t have enough to use and won''t be willing to take it out and sell it to us, besides, we''re such a small camp, we can''t get any good things to exchange with them.¡± More crucially, once the rest of the camps around Redwood Ridge had coal as well, then both the security and weaponry advantages of the Rogues'' camp would cease to exist. The security advantage can absorb the population, and the weapon advantage guarantees force crushing, with the existence of these two advantages, the Luoge camp is the deserved king in the area of Redwood Ridge, selling coal to the other camps is self-defeating. As a traveling crowd, Xia Hong has since looked longer than Xia Chuan. Crossed over a month ago, from the beginning of the panic to the current calm, Xia Hong in the middle of the impact, can not be small. The narrative has been taken without authorization; if you see it on Amazon, report the incident. In this world, crisis is everywhere. Crisis, not only from that special species called cold beast. There is also the climate, as well as a variety of unheard-of things. In this world, there is only winter, not four seasons. And the cold winter temperature here is far more terrifying than on the Blue Planet. In Xia Hong''s unprofessional estimation, the temperature at night was at least seventy degrees below zero, and normal humans could not survive at all. What''s even more outrageous is that the daytime is even colder than the nighttime. Not to mention normal humans, even ordinary people in this world would freeze to death if they didn''t have a means to protect themselves from the cold during the day. Fortunately, there were only four hours of daylight, so humans were almost always active at night, which was why Xia Hong took advantage of the night to practice martial arts outside. And because it was colder during the day, the cold beasts were more active, their temperament was more violent, and their strength was also several percent stronger than at night. Therefore, human beings, whether they are hunting or searching for supplies, basically choose to go out at night. Crossing into such a crisis-ridden winter world, replaced by other people would have collapsed. But Xia Hong not only quickly accepted, but even inwardly very excited. Because, before crossing, he is a tachycardia patient. Xia Hong comes from a family of martial arts, since childhood, both parents died, and from childhood to practice martial arts fitness, living habits are far more regular than normal people. But the heavens have played the biggest joke on him, giving him this incurable disease. In the last days, Xia Hong stopped practicing martial arts, while their hand could still move, all day obsessed with hand games, until lying in a hospital bed. After confirming that he would soon be unable to move, he picked a sunny day and chose to end himself. As a result, he came to this world and became the present Xia Hong. Although this world is full of crises, after all, he is re-living his second life, it would have been incomparably fortunate, what''s more, the heavens have also given him a set of such a strong and young body. One meter ninety-one, weighing more than ninety kilograms, bee-waisted and ape-armed, and still only in his early sixteenth year. According to what the internet said in his previous life, this body of his was a proper holy body for practicing martial arts. Just crossed over, although this body is young and strong, the strength is at most about two thousand kilograms. But the rumor of the previous life of the blue star boxing champion Tyson''s strength is only eight hundred kilograms, which is converted to one thousand six hundred pounds. Xia Hong at first unknown, still thought he was very strong. Until he witnessed, an adult woman in the camp, lightly pick up five or six hundred kilograms of large trees, he only understood: This world, per capita Tyson Supreme. Think about it, people are the product of the environment. Such a harsh extremely cold climate, if people do not follow evolution, simply can not survive. Recognizing his weakness, Xia Hong does not dare to slack off. The martial arts from his previous life were useful here. For the sake of practicality, he chose a set of Taizu Long Fist, and in just one month, with the cold beast''s blood and flesh, his strength rose to four thousand pounds, and according to his father, Xia Ding, the threshold of five thousand pounds at the wood-cutting level, he was about to arrive. ¡°With lumbering level strength, you can enter the lumbering team, at least you can see first, the world outside the camp.¡± If it was placed in the previous world, five thousand pounds of huge strength, that was properly superhuman. However, in this world, it was just that one could go and cut down trees. That''s right, felling trees level, is the meaning of the word. At this level, one could go - cut down trees! ¡°Brother, father is back!¡± Abruptly, Xia Chuan pointed in the direction of the Redwood Ridge woods and shouted. Xia Hong looked up and saw that a group of twelve people were quickly walking out from the depths of the woods, they were divided into six groups, each two people in a group, one in front of the other carrying a heavenly tree that was about twenty meters long. Waiting for the six groups of six trees to completely walk out of the woods, seeing a sturdy figure appearing at the very back, only then did Xia Hong Xia Chuan''s two faces reveal a smile. According to the words of their father, Xia Ding, every time they went out was a spell. Not only was it safe to come back, but not a single person was missing, definitely a thing worth celebrating. However, as the thirteen people of the logging team came closer and closer, Xia Hong Xia Chuan realized that not only was there no joy on the faces of the people but instead they were filled with gravity and uneasiness. The two hurriedly greeted them, and Xia Hong directly inquired. ¡°Father, what''s wrong?¡± ¡°How much longer until dawn?¡± Xia Ding''s voice carried a very obvious hint of forced composure, obviously panicking to the extreme inside. However, Xia Hong still quickly raised his head to look at the sky and gave his answer after observing the orientation of the bright moon. ¡°There should only be a quarter of an hour left.¡± ¡°Quickly, quickly go into the camp and tell them to extinguish the campfire, they can''t light it.¡± Xia Hong''s pupils immediately dilated when he heard this, and his face was filled with puzzlement. ¡°Father, extinguishing the campfire during the day, the camp will freeze to death.¡± It was colder during the day than at night, even if one hid in a cave, without a campfire to warm them up, they would freeze to death. Xia Ding was the leader of the camp, he knew more about these things than anyone else, how could he suddenly say such things? ¡°That creepy monster from Redwood Ridge, it''s coming out!¡± Moment of horror Weirdo? Although Xia Hong and Xia Chuan heard ¡°weird¡± for the first time, they looked at the fear on their father''s face, and a trace of inexplicable gravity rose in their hearts. Father Xia Ding seemed too panicked and did not pay attention to the confusion of the two, but quickly ordered the logging team of twelve people, to six large trees into the cave. Then without a trace of hesitation, he led the camp crowd to seal the cave entrance completely. After the cave entrance was sealed, Xia Ding looked at the campfire pile in the center of the camp, with a touch of hesitation on his face. But very quickly, a decision was made. ¡°Extinguish the bonfire, everyone, put on all that you can and huddle together for warmth, only once can someone light the bonfire if they really can''t stay up, and it can only last for ten minutes!¡± ¡°What, put out the campfire?¡± ¡°We''ll freeze to death.¡± ¡°Chief, no way, my son is still young, he can''t take it.¡± ............ A single word stirred up a thousand waves, and almost 60% of the camp''s people spoke out against it. The remaining 40%, except for the people from the logging team who knew the inside story, who didn''t open their mouths were obviously of the calm type, waiting for Xia Ding''s next words. Xia Ding raised his hand and saw that all the people closed their mouths before he spoke in a deep voice: ¡°The Redwood Ridge''s creepy monster has come out, and all the people from Iron Peak and Shen Torch''s campsites have already died, if we extinguish the bonfire, we still have hope for survival, but if that creepy monster finds us, we will all die.¡± Hearing the word ¡°Creeper¡± alone, most of the people in the camp did not react. They didn''t know much about the Creepy Monster either. However, when they heard that all the people in the two camps of Tie Feng Shen Torch had died, all the people in the camps, including Xia Hong, suddenly had horror creeping over their faces. These two camps, both had a population of over three hundred. There were a total of nine camps in Redwood Ridge, of which only Rogue was a medium-sized camp, and the remaining eight were small camps just like Daxia. There were also strengths and weaknesses in the same small camps. Two camps, both stronger than Daxia. One of them, Iron Eagle, the leader of the Iron Peak camp, was still a Digger-class powerhouse. And Xia Ding just said that the two camps had more than 600 people, all dead? This creepy monster, what strength? ¡°Hurry up to get dressed and put out the fire, it will be light soon, just make it through the four hours, if someone really can''t take it, I will light the fire at my discretion, don''t worry.¡± The crowd was in a trance for a moment, and quickly followed Xia Ding''s words. Xia Hong also hurriedly ran back to his area within the cave, found all the clothes he could wear, and threw one of the thickest animal fur coats, directly to his younger brother Xia Chuan next to him. ¡°Brother, you wear it yourself, I have enough clothes.¡± ¡°I''m stronger than you, my body is also stronger than you, it''s fine.¡± Blocking the clothes that Xia Chuan returned, Xia Hong ran straight back to the direction where his father Xia Ding was again. The camp crowd moved very quickly, in almost less than two minutes, everyone was dressed and all gathered in the center of the cave. Seeing that the crowd had all gathered, Xia Ding nodded to the four people holding animal skins and preparing to fight the fire by the campfire. With a few swoops of the four men, the two-meter-high flames were extinguished. The narrative has been taken without permission. Report any sightings. The entrance of the cave was originally sealed, without the light of the fire, the interior of the cave immediately fell into darkness. Along with the darkness came the cold. The moment the firelight was extinguished, the temperature of the entire cave began to rapidly decrease, almost at a speed that could be perceived by the human body. The camp''s two hundred or so people were not randomly huddled together. The youngest children were in the very center, with the females surrounding them, and then off to the periphery were the adult males, and at the outermost layer were the thirteen men from the logging team. Old people? There were no old people, not just in Daxia, there were almost no old people in all the camps. In such a frigid apocalypse, ordinary old people would not be able to survive. As the son of the chief, Xia Hong Xia Chuan two brothers did not enjoy any special treatment, which was arranged in the outer area. Time passed slowly, but in an hour, the temperature was more than twice as low as when there was a campfire. The small children in the inner perimeter began to freeze so hard that their teeth made noises. The women in the center began to shiver. The adult males on the outer perimeter were a little better, only shivering slightly. The most stable ones were still the thirteen men of the outermost logging team. ¡°Chief, should we light the fire ......¡± A woman looked at her own child''s frozen lips and finally couldn''t help but open her mouth to Xia Ding. Unfortunately, before she could finish her sentence, she was interrupted by Xia Ding. ¡°That creepy monster from Redwood Ridge, let me tell you about it!¡± Although the crowd was cold, they couldn''t help but raise their heads to look at Xia Ding in the darkness when they heard ¡°creepy monster¡±. Although he knew that Xia Ding was trying to divert attention and let the crowd hold on for as long as possible, the confusion that had always existed in his heart was finally going to be solved at this moment, so Xia Hong also perked up his ears and listened carefully. ¡°That creepy monster in Redwood Ridge, I haven''t seen it, I heard it from the mouth of an old friend over at the Rogue Camp, in fact, not only me, nine camps around Redwood Ridge. There is only one person who has seen that creepy monster and is still alive.¡± ¡°Who?¡± Xia Chuan was still young, it was the time when he was bursting with curiosity and couldn''t hold his tongue, everyone else was listening, he was the only one who couldn''t help but ask. Of course, he sort of helped everyone else by opening their mouths and asking. ¡°Rogue camp, Luo Feng!¡± Wow ............ Hearing the name Luo Feng, the crowd that had gathered in a ball exploded. Including Xia Hong, who couldn''t help but show an astonished look. Luo Feng, the previous leader of the Rogue Camp, is rumored to be the first Earth Digging level powerhouse of Redwood Ridge. More than twenty years ago, Camp Luoge was similar to Daxia, a small camp with a population of only two hundred or so, it was under Luo Feng''s leadership that it continued to develop and grow, and finally became a medium-sized camp. The crowd was surprised, firstly, because Luo Feng was famous. Secondly, it was because of this person, that the rumors had gone crazy. Fifteen years ago, there was a rumor that Luo Feng had gone mad from practicing and killed his son with his own hands, it was a big deal. Could it be that going crazy had something to do with the trickster? ¡°You guys are thinking right, Luo Feng went crazy because of that Creepy Monster. He was leading a hunting party when he bumped into that Creepy Monster. At that time, the entire team had a total of twenty people, and he was the only one who escaped death. But after escaping back to the Rogues'' camp, one night, for some reason, he suddenly went crazy and killed his youngest son, and woke up crazy. Before he went crazy, he explained to the people in the hunting team in the Rogues'' camp that they should never go deep into Redwood Ridge, and incidentally, he also said something about the news about the creepy monster. So there is a small portion of people in Rogue Camp that know about that Creepy Monster, and I heard about it from them.¡± ¡°That Creepy Monster, what exactly is it like?¡± It was Xia Chuan who couldn''t hold back his curiosity and opened his mouth to inquire. Xia Ding did not answer directly but paused for a moment before speaking. ¡°There is no specific appearance, I heard that that trickster can change into anyone''s appearance.¡± Change into, anyone? This had to be an immortal technique, right? Seventy-two changes? Even though he knew that this was a transcendent world, this kind of thing of changing appearance at will still shook Xia Hong to the core. ¡°Can''t tell the difference?¡± Xia Hong couldn''t help but ask at this moment. Xia Ding seemed to be somewhat surprised by his question and was silent for a moment before answering. ¡°Can''t tell the difference, no matter what method I use, it won''t work.¡± ¡°Then what does he do when he takes on the appearance of someone else?¡± Another person asked the key question, and Xia Hong also perked up his ears to listen. Xia Ding''s tone steeply became a bit low and said, ¡°I heard that he will turn into someone you are familiar with, trick you into trusting him, and as long as you completely trust him, he will immediately turn into a human stake.¡± ¡°Human stake?¡± ¡°It''s a human stake that stands motionless.¡± ¡°And then what?¡± ¡°It will then use a small knife and cut off all the flesh and blood on your body one by one, no matter how painful it is, as long as the flesh and blood are not completely cut off, you will not die.¡± Hiss ...... Everyone couldn''t help but suck in a breath of cool air. How painful must this be, and the key was that the pain wouldn''t kill them. Creepy monster, so perverted? Everyone was shocked by Xia Ding''s words, and the entire cave suddenly fell into silence. However, right at this moment, outside the cave, a clear voice entered. ¡°What''s the point of sealing the cave entrance so early? Quickly open the door, we''re back.¡± With a swish sound, everyone huddled in a ball inside the cave, hearing the voice, almost simultaneously trembling. Including Xia Hong. ¡°Quickly open the cave entrance, do you hear me?¡± Another sound came, and inside the dark cave, everyone''s pupils trembled tremendously. In unison, everyone first glanced at the cave entrance. Immediately afterward, they turned their heads to look at Xia Ding who had just been speaking. The shock on their faces gradually turned into thick fear. Simply because what came from outside the cave It was also Xia Ding''s voice ...... Real or imitation? ¡°What''s the situation?¡± Xia Hong couldn''t help but feel alarmed at this moment. Two Xia Ding? The one outside, is it a fake? ¡°Don''t panic, that''s the Trickster tricking the door, quiet down, the Trickster is light by light, we didn''t light the fire, he doesn''t know that there''s someone inside, he''ll leave right away.¡± Xia Ding inside the cave also seemed to be frightened, although he was comforting the crowd, the panic in his tone was obvious. ¡°Brother, what''s the situation?¡± Xia Hong people were all confused until he was called out by Xia Chuan, who had come to his side at an unknown time, and only then snapped out of it. He first lowered his head and contemplated for a moment, followed by asking Xia Chuan in a low voice: ¡°When father came back just now, did he find anything unusual?¡± Realizing the importance of this question, Xia Chuan''s face revealed a tense look and hurriedly recalled the situation when Xia Ding and the logging team returned just now. But after thinking for a long time, he still shook his head. Xia Hong exhaled, this was expected. He was also present when Xia Ding returned with the hunting team just now, and there was indeed nothing unusual. Inside the cave, it should be a father, right? But Xia Hong just made this judgment, and the accident happened. Outside the door of the ¡°Xia Ding¡±, actually peeled open the branches of the cave. At the moment the sky is not yet bright, but the moment the cave is opened, there is still a little light coming in. Cave did not light a fire, a dark environment, even if it is a small light, but also enough to the fear on the faces of the people, shine a glimpse. And seeing the situation outside the cave, the crowd''s fear was magnified several times. Just because outside the cave stood, not only ¡°Xia Ding¡± one. The twelve members of the logging team led by Xia Ding were also listed. Now, everyone was dumbfounded. The two brothers, Xia Hong, and Xia Chuan, were even more shocked as their pupils contracted. It was the two of them who had just greeted the thirteen people of the logging team outside the cave. At this moment, the same thirteen people appeared again, how could they not be shocked? ¡°Xia Ding¡± came in. The Xia Ding inside the cave, with the twelve people of the logging team, rushed towards the cave entrance, blocking the front of the crowd. When the two Xia Ding looked at each other, they first coincidentally revealed a look of horror. This was followed by fear and shock. Xia Hong was in the crowd, and although he did not say anything, his eyes were staring at the two Xia Ding and the crowd behind them, not daring to miss any details of the two, even if it was just a subtle expression. At this point, one can be one hundred percent certain. The ¡°Guile¡± of Redwood Ridge was right in front of them. Two Xia Ding, one of them must be Gui. According to what the ¡°Xia Ding¡± in the cave had just said, the Redwood Ridge''s ¡°Gui¡± was killing people by tricking them into trusting them, so as long as they could tell if it was real or fake, it would help. This tale has been unlawfully lifted without the author''s consent. Report any appearances on Amazon. So he took great pains to utilize the dim light, trying to identify it from all aspects. Only unfortunately, after looking at it over and over again, he despairingly realized that there was no difference between the two, at all. From their appearance and clothes to their subtle expressions, and even various small details, the two Xia Ding, including the members of the logging team behind them, were all the same, with no difference at all. And in the gap between his differentiation, the two Xia Ding had already brought the twelve members of the logging team behind them and fought. The originally spacious cave, under the fight of more than twenty people, suddenly became cramped, and the camp crowd retreated towards the back of the cave. Although Xia Hong was retreating, his eyes did not detach from the two Xia Ding, for fear that once he detached himself from the line of sight, he would not be able to tell which one was inside the cave and which one was outside the cave respectively. Originally when the first Xia Ding came back previously, it was almost dawn. Sealing the hole, extinguishing the fire, plus this fight, after so long, the white light outside the hole, also became more and more obvious. This white light was cold and piercing, the people of the camp hiding in the inner side of the cave, the fear on their faces also became deeper and deeper, and their bodies gradually shivered. Although Xia Hong''s expression was calm, his heart gradually grew heavy. During the daytime in this world, the temperature is twice as low as at night. During the day, the activities of the cold beasts were more frequent. If the mouth of the cave was left open like this, even if it managed to survive the low temperature, it was very likely that the cold beasts would be attracted, and in the end, all of us would die together. Something had to be done, something had to be done! Just as his heart was burning with anxiety, the two ¡°Xia Ding¡± spoke. ¡°Hong, Chuan, it''s going to be dawn soon, you guys bring everyone together and seal the cave entrance first, with me here, this creep can''t hurt you guys.¡± ¡°At this point, it''s still in disguise, Hong, Chuan don''t listen to him, bring everyone together, first help us drive it away, drive it away before sealing the cave entrance.¡± Xia Chuan who was named, almost subconsciously rushed out to the left. The one on the left was ¡°Xia Ding¡± who had returned to the cave first. Xia Chuan had also been staring at the two Xia Ding, so he was able to tell them apart. However, he had only just rushed out two steps when he was violently yanked back by a hand. ¡°Brother?¡± ¡°Don''t act rashly, is he real, can you be 100% sure?¡± Hearing Xia Hong''s question, Xia Chuan''s expression froze. What he was leaning towards in his heart was of course the Xia Ding who had returned to the cave first. After all, Xia Ding not only led the camp crowd to extinguish the fire and seal the cave entrance but also told them the news of the weird monster. But to say whether he could be 100% sure, he didn''t dare to say. After all, whether it was the two Xia Ding or the members of the two classes of logging team, whether it was the appearance or the details of their movements, there was no difference. Even the strength they displayed when they fought was the same. ¡°That trick will turn into someone you are familiar with and trick you into trusting it, and once you completely trust it, you will immediately turn into a human stake and let it slaughter you.¡± These words flashed through Xia Hong''s mind, and his heart was already in his throat. Regardless of whether or not the Xia Ding, who had returned to the cave first, was true. At least this sentence, Xia Hong could now confirm that it was true. Since that tricky had taken the trouble to make such a scene in front of him. It proved that he did need to trick the absolute trust of the camp crowd. Right now, there are two options: One: listen to that Xia Ding in the back and go ahead and seal the cave. Two: Help Xia Ding who came back first to defeat Xia Ding who came back later. This kind of life and death moment, the choice made, of course, represents the absolute trust of the camp crowd. That is to say, once the choice is wrong. All of them, this group of people, would all become human stakes. They would die! At this moment, realizing this, there were not only Xia Ding. Xia Chuan, as well as a handful of people in the camp, their complexions became tense. Many people, one after another, placed their eyes on Xia Hong. The people placed their hopes on him, not only because of the identity of the leader''s son. Excluding Xia Ding and the twelve members of the logging team, Xia Hong was the strongest one in the camp. The two groups of people who were fighting at the entrance of the cave realized this as well. The two Xia Ding all had anxious faces, and seeing that the crowd had given the choice to Xia Hong, they hurriedly turned to the two Xia Hong brothers and opened their mouths to testify for themselves. ¡°Hong, I''ll go back to the cave first, I''m the real deal, don''t believe him, if you believe him, all of us will die.¡± ¡°Hong, I''m the real one, Gui is the best at compelling people, he first turned into my likeness, went back to the cave, and intentionally revealed the information to you guys, just to make you trust him now, don''t ever trust him.¡± ¡°Hong, when you were knocked out by an icicle last month, I was the one who helped you apply the medicine.¡± ¡°Chuan, I helped you sharpen a stone dagger last night, remember?¡± ............ But this made the crowd even more confused. Not only were both of them able to tell about the two brothers, Xia Hong and Xia Chuan, but they even knew all about the old wounds on their bodies. Only Xia Hong, when he heard the two men say different things about themselves and Xia Chuan respectively, his body shook slightly, and his right hand that was tugging on Xia Chuan also tightened violently. Xia Chuan turned back in disbelief and locked eyes with Xia Hong. But in an instant, Xia Chuan''s pupils, too, shrunk violently. He also realized something. System arrived Xia Hong gave Xia Chuan a look and quietly handed him a hand axe. He then walked to the front and spoke to the two Xia Ding: ¡°Father, our brothers can''t tell who''s real and who''s fake, can we let the two of us take one side, get closer, take a closer look, and then make a choice?¡± ¡°Good, come on!¡± The two Xia Ding agreed in unison, both confident. Xia Hong took a deep breath and patted his younger brother Xia Chuan, signaling him to go to the left, while he walked towards the Xia Ding on the right. The two brothers walked at a similar pace, almost simultaneously walking in front of the two Xia Ding. Xia Hong stared wide-eyed, looking back and forth from head to toe at this Xia Ding on the right who came back later, seemingly looking a little too closely, but also looking around behind him. Xia Ding''s face is full of frankness, and the look is also confident, let Xia Hong around to his own back, and even straighten his body, let him look more carefully. However, the moment he stood behind him, Xia Hong''s eyes, were immediately colored with a layer of blood light, and his expression instantly became hideous. ¡°Do it!¡± A loud shout startled everyone. Only to see Xia Hong and Xia Chuan two people, together raise the hand axe, respectively in front of their respective ¡°Xia Ding¡±, violently split down. Bang ...... Hand axe and head impact, according to should be brain burst, the scene is incomparably bloody, right? But in reality, Xia Chuan''s hand axe hadn''t even landed on Xia Ding''s head before the other party caught it with his bare hands. After all, Xia Hong''s strength was stronger than his, and the hand axe struck Xia Ding''s head. Solidly splitting the head in two. However, the horrible thing was that in Xia Ding''s head, nothing yellow or white came out, instead, it was like the wood was split from the center, and the split was yet still connected to the neck. What''s even more frightening is that, being so split open the head, ¡°Xia Ding¡± eyes are still rotating, interested in measuring in front of Xia Hong, and even showed a smile on his face. Only that smile, how to look at it all feels eerie. ¡°Chuan, retreat!¡± Xia Hong didn''t even have time to draw away his stone axe, shouted to Xia Chuan at the other end, and retreated violently towards the direction of the camp crowd. Hearing this, Xia Chuan also hurriedly drew back, directly abandoning his stone axe and retreating to the rear. Everyone in the camp, just now by the two brothers'' behavior was stunned, at this moment they saw the ¡°Xia Ding¡± appearance, and where did not understand. The Xia Ding on the right was a fake. What about the one on the left? Why did Xia Chuan sneak attack, is it also a fake? Just as the crowd was wondering, the Xia Ding on the left, moved. If you discover this narrative on Amazon, be aware that it has been stolen. Please report the violation. Only to see him walk to the front of the right Xia Ding, put his hand into the center of the split head, gently caress two times, and then both hands pressed the two sides, to the center of a close. The split heads were magically brought together. Not only that, the ¡°Xia Ding¡± even twisted his neck, and then turned his head to stare at Xia Hong, who was standing in front of the camp, and smiled eerily. This bizarre scene made the camp''s crowd feel uneasy in their hearts. The one on the left, Xia Ding, stood out and opened his mouth to Xia Hong. ¡°Interesting, interesting, these two pieces of mine, are identical to your father, and I don''t think I''ve revealed any cracks, you two, how did you see it?¡± His voice seemed to be issued from the rubbing of wood shavings, hoarse and harsh and odd. ¡°Assuming that one of you is true and one of you is false, then the false one, must not know so much about us, and father, but you two know everything, so ......¡± Xia Hong paused here, his expression becoming a bit gloomy. Xia Ding certainly could not tell everything. This trickster could know so much about the camp and Xia Ding. There was only one possibility. ¡°Jie Jie Jie, quite smart, that Xia Ding was still escaping in the opposite direction of this camp of yours before he died, trying to lure me away, he seems to care about you people a lot!¡± ¡°I''ll kill you!¡± Xia Chuan, who was on the side, got the news of his father Xia Ding''s death from the mouth of the Creepy Monster and instantly fell into a loss of control, and directly rushed towards the Creepy Monster with his bare hands and fists. Xia Hong was quick on his feet and immediately stopped him. ¡°Calm down!¡± It would be a lie to say that Xia Hong didn''t feel bad at all in his heart. The problem was that right now, there was no time to feel bad. The two ¡°Xia Ding¡±, had already surrounded, and the twenty-four members of the logging team, also followed behind with expressionless faces, obviously intending to make a move. ¡°Everyone, there is still a way to live if you fight for your lives!¡± Xia Hong did not hesitate, shouted angrily, and directly charged forward. Although he said this on his lips, Xia Hong did not have a bottom in his heart. Twenty-six lumbering level combatants, the camp''s more than two hundred people, even if they fought for their lives, the hope was not great. What''s more, the trick that could only transform into Xia Ding, he knew nothing about it. The other party must have more than just the ability to change. It was hard to believe that it was going to be gone after just a month of crossing over. The answer had already come out. The people in the camp, indeed, the mountain of people followed him to rush up. But those two ¡°Xia Ding¡±, almost one punch one. In just a few moments, they killed at least twenty people. Blood and plasma erupted and wailed in all directions. In just a moment, the entire cave rose with a thick smell of blood. Bang ...... Xia Hong was kicked off and slammed into the cave wall, reverse blood gushing out of his mouth. Looking at the bloody slaughter inside the cave, a thick despair rose in his heart. In the month since he crossed over, he recognized himself as a diligent student, always thinking about how to improve his strength. Whether it was his father, Xia Ding, or the members of the previous logging team, they had reminded him all the time that the outside world was dangerous. But with the steady growth of his strength, as well as his peaceful life within the cave, he gradually felt that it was just a colder, alien world. It wasn''t until this moment that he truly realized: The danger of this world was far beyond imagination. His confessed efforts were not worth mentioning in front of the creepy monster. ¡°Brother...save ...... me ............¡± Xia Chuan''s hoarse and low whimpering voice reached his ears. Xia Hong looked sideways, and instantly, his heart was filled with rage. The ¡°Xia Ding¡± with a sadistic smile on his face was strangling Xia Chuan''s neck and pressing him against the wall. Seems to be a little playful, he also intentionally collected some force, did not pinch Xia Chuan''s neck at once, just slowly increased the force, so that Xia Chuan had more and more suffocating pain. Traveled to this world for a month, because his father Xia Ding was often outside, only at night would come back, and even if he came back, talking to him was not much. Therefore, Xia Hong''s feelings towards Xia Ding were not considered deep. Instead, he valued his younger brother Xia Chuan, who he had spent time with, more. That strange hand harder and harder, Xia Chuan''s throat constantly squeezed, eyes, ears, mouth, and nose gradually oozing blood, the expression also more and more hideous. At this moment, Xia Hong no longer has the fear of death, only due to their incompetence and hate, as well as the strong desire for power. If only I could be stronger, could be stronger ...... The slaughter in the cave was still going on, and there were already fifty to sixty corpses down on the ground. Many people had already frantically run outside the cave entrance, but they were far inferior to the enemy in terms of both speed and strength and were often killed before they could reach the cave entrance. [Suffered devastating damage, camp system rebuilt, gifting small fire piles for primary buildings, please pay attention to the host to check] Just then, a voice entered his mind. Xia Hong only felt that in his two lives, he had never heard such a beautiful voice. Small Fire Small fire: can greatly increase the temperature of the area in a ten-meter radius, and has the function of deterring and killing primary creepy monsters, but at the same time, it also has a strong attraction to cold beasts Average daily consumption: wood 2 (complimentary initial lighting, no consumption for ten minutes) Xia Hong didn''t even have time to scrutinize the so-called camp system, only focusing on quickly searching for what he wanted amongst the long list of information. There was a shock kill function for primary creepy monsters! This is what he wanted. Xia Hong looked sideways at Xia Chuan over there who was already on the verge of death, braced himself and stood up, his eyes staring at that fake Xia Ding. A little spark suddenly surfaced in front of Xia Chuan''s body. Impostor Xia Ding looked down at the fire in front of him, his brows furrowed, and his heart vaguely sensed that something was not right. But that spark was weak, looking not threatening. However, in the next second, the spark exploded, and a three-meter-high red-colored flame rose violently. That flame was like a prairie fire, the burning range rapidly expanded, not only the impostor Xia Ding who was choking Xia Chuan, but even the remaining impostor logging team members who were not far away from him, there were two of them who were directly engulfed by the flames. ¡°Ah ...... what is it, what kind of fire is this, ah ......¡± However, in an instant, the impostor Xia Ding who was engulfed by the flames let out a hiss of fear and misery. The other two impostor logging team members, without even having time to make a sound, were directly burned into two clouds of black smoke. The impostor Xia Ding''s body, constantly twisted and shifted amidst the flames, obviously trying to escape, but the flames followed him like a hock. The original intact body was burned into a ruddy skeleton in a matter of moments, and then even the bones were burned to the ground, turning into a cloud of black smoke just like the two impostor lumberjack team members, completely dissipating. On this side, Xia Hong had already picked up Xia Chuan and turned his head to look at the fire still burning in place, his face suddenly filled with hope. ¡°Big brother, this fire, what is it?¡± ¡°I don''t know, but we are saved.¡± The impostor, Xia Ding, didn''t even die when his head was split open. But when they touched this small pile of fire, they were turned into flying ashes in an instant. ¡°Everyone, stop fighting and come over to this side of the fire!¡± Xia Hong turned his head and shouted at the crowd inside the cave who were still fighting to the death. The scene of the impostor Xia Ding being burned to death just now had already been noticed, and with this shout, the remaining people who were still alive all gathered towards him at once. Soon, the hundred or so people remaining in the camp all broke away from the battle and gathered behind Xia Hong. This side of the camp had suffered heavy deaths and injuries, while on the side of the Creepy Things, except for the three who were mistakenly burned to death by the small fire, the remaining twenty-three were all unharmed. This book was originally published on Royal Road. Check it out there for the real experience. The other Xia Ding, with the remaining twenty-two members of the impostor logging team, walked towards the fire. However, when he was still more than ten meters away from the fire, he stopped. Looking at the fire, the impostor Xia Ding''s eyes were filled with scorn. However, it seemed that he was unwilling to let go of Xia Hong''s gang, and after a moment, he laughed coldly and opened his mouth: ¡°Little thing, this fire of yours, how long can it burn?¡± ¡°A long, long time!¡± Xia Hong also laughed coldly and turned back to Xia Chuan and the crowd and opened his mouth, ¡°Move all the wood in the back and expand the fire.¡± The timber from the campground just happened to be placed on this side against the wall. When the crowd heard this, they hurriedly all moved the wood on that side of the wall. As the wood continued to be put in, the fire of that small fire was expanding. Moreover, Xia Hong and the others intentionally led the wood toward the group of impostors Xia Ding. Soon, the firelight illuminated the entire cave. As for Impostor Xia Ding''s group of people, as the fire spread, the scorn in their eyes became more and more intense, while their bodies kept retreating. The impostor, Xia Ding, stalemated with the crowd for more than an hour. Until the fire was forced to the mouth of the cave, looking at the crowd still moving a steady stream of wood, his face finally revealed the color of hatred, gazed deeply at Xia Hong, with those impostor logging team members, turned to leave. At this time it was already dawn, Xia Hong and others did not dare to leave the vicinity of the fire, and could only look out from afar at the departing party. Only when they were finally out of sight and confirmed that the other party had gone far away, did Xia Hong finally let out a sigh of relief, and a strong sense of emptiness immediately surged into his heart. ¡°Brother, this bonfire, seems to have a problem.¡± ¡°I know, only a ten-meter range is useful, the rest of the fire, with the fire we lit before, there is no difference.¡± Xia Hong''s back had long been drenched in cold sweat. Just now when the fire exceeded the ten-meter range, he had already realized it. The fire within the cave was burned by them to fifty or sixty meters, however after leaving the ten-meter range of the first small fire, the temperature of the rest of the place increased, no different from the fire they had lit before. Pi remembered the system description of the small fire pile, which Xia Hong roughly understood. The small fire pile only worked on a ten-meter radius. Even if other means were used to expand the fire, it would not work. Similarly, the only thing that had a deterrent effect on the creepy creatures was the small fire, and the rest of the fires that they lit up were simply useless. What he did behind him was all just a bluff to scare the gang of creepy creatures. Good thing, the other party fell for it. In the aftermath of the disaster, there wasn''t a single bit of joyful atmosphere in the cave. This was because disasters were often accompanied by endless pain. At this moment, many, many people realized that really Xia Ding''s gang had all been killed. Those twelve members of the logging team were twelve families. Adding to that, a massacre inside the cave had just taken away at least seventy lives. Throughout the cave, there was an outpouring of wails and cries of pain. ¡°Chief, is he dead?¡± ¡°My leader is also dead?¡± ¡°My son killed ............¡± ¡°Mother, mother wake up!¡± .................. Xia Hong in addition to the sadness surged to the heart, more strongly, is a sense of suffocation. From beginning to end, he knew nothing about the Redwood Ridge trick. Even what the other party''s true appearance looked like, was not clear. At first, after the two impostors Xia Ding were recognized, it was the one that was sneak attacked by Xia Chuan that was leading the way, and the other one whose head was split open by himself was just a muddled outburst that didn''t seem to have a spirit. After the first one was burned to death by the small fire, that muddled one came out to take the lead and talk. This was enough to prove that the two impostors Xia Ding, neither of them was the real body. In other words, that trick of Redwood Ridge, which had never even shown its face, had dealt such a major blow to them. There were also the two Xia Ding, the twenty-four impostor logging team members, and the way the other party had gotten them out and controlled them. He knew nothing about all of them. The other party lightly struck out, and you died and were heavily injured. The key is that after sacrificing so many people, you haven''t gotten even a tiny bit of useful information from the other side. This kind of powerlessness caused Xia Hong''s heart to incomparably suffocate. Of course, more than that, it was still fear. Looking back around the cave, seeing that most of the people were still immersed in grief, Xia Hong took a deep breath and walked alone to the cave entrance, picking up the rocks and trees next to it, and started sealing the cave entrance. After such a mess, the sky has already dawned, and the temperature is decreasing faster and faster, if you don''t hurry to seal the hole, it will freeze to death. Even if they are not careful to attract cold beasts, it will add to the misery. Xia Hong''s action also reminded the crowd. Xia Chuan was the first to step forward to help, then there was a second and a third. In the end, men, women, and even children came to help. Xia Hong looked back at the camp crowd, and despite the freezing weather, a slight warmth rose in his heart. Moving house More than a hundred people worked together, and the cave entrance was quickly sealed. Although there was firelight in the cave, it was still much darker with the cave entrance sealed. Probably because of the sense of security brought about by the closed space, the pained look on the faces of the campers also subsided a bit. However, they were still uncertain, and their faces were full of confusion. ¡°Brother, what next?¡± Xia Chuan''s voice instantly caused everyone to focus their gaze, on Xia Hong. From the first to recognize the authenticity of the Xia Ding, to the latter to take the lead in desperately trying to survive, and even the small fire that saved their lives in the end. It can be said that without Xia Hong, almost no one in the camp can survive. At this moment, the crowd naturally put their hopes on him. Xia Hong could naturally read the dependence in the eyes of the crowd and suddenly felt the pressure doubled. It was not possible for him not to come forward. Xia Ding and the logging team, totaling 13 people, had already been confirmed killed. With the massacre just now, another 72 people have died. He had just counted, and now there were only 154 people left in the camp. Of these, there were only 53 in their prime. The reason why these older people stayed in the camp and didn''t follow Xia Ding out to log and hunt was because they were too weak, their strength was only at the normal human stage. Of the remaining 101, 25 were of a similar age to him, including himself, and all of the rest ranged in age from 3 to 12 years old. He was already the strongest person in the camp right now. Adding to that, he was the son of the former leader Xia Ding, so it naturally became his responsibility to bring the campers to continue surviving. Xia Hong skimmed away his chaotic thoughts, looked around the cave for a week, and quickly made his first decision: ¡°We can''t stay here, pack up our things, we''ll move out when it gets dark.¡± That creep from Redwood Ridge already knew where the campground was, and could come back at any time. Continuing to stay here would be a dead end. ¡°Brother, how many holes are we moving to?¡± ¡°To the west, to number four.¡± Humans in this world, almost from birth to death, were in hiding. Hiding from daylight, hiding from ice waves, hiding from cold beasts, and hiding from weird monsters. Under the state of hiding for years and years, humans had long since developed the habit of being cunning. The Great Summer Camp was no exception. Having lived in Redwood Ridge for decades, the Great Summer Camp had long since opened up six hiding places, all of which were caves. The average distance between the six caves is only five or six hundred meters, all around the eastern side of the Redwood Ridge this piece of soil slopes, in a circular distribution. They are now staying in number one, number four is the furthest away from number one, to be on the safe side, Xia Hong chose number four. Naturally, the people would not have any objections, they all turned around and left, packing up their things according to Xia Hong''s order, ready to move out of there after nightfall. Reading on Amazon or a pirate site? This novel is from Royal Road. Support the author by reading it there. Taking advantage of this gap, Xia Hong put his attention on the camp system that he hadn''t had time to scrutinize just now. [Camp: Daxia (Level 0)] [Lord: Xia Hong] [Territory Population: 154] [Resources: Wood 15 Coal 0 Iron 0 Silver 0 Gold 0] ¡¾Buildings: Small Fire Pile (Level 1) Average Daily Consumption of Wood 2 (Placed)]] Small Fire Pile: can greatly increase the temperature of the area within a 10-meter radius, and has the function of deterring and killing primary monsters, but at the same time, it also has a strong attraction to cold beasts. Special Function: For every 10 units of wood resources burned, a special small torch will be generated, similar in function to the small fire pile, and can be carried around. Resource required for upgrading the small fire: Wood 200 Iron 50 Below the already-opened interface, there are eight other options in dull gray: Wooden Man Pile, Green Bamboo Hedge, Marking Stone, Decoction Pot, Yellow Earth, Polishing Stone, Small Wooden Table, and Coarse Iron Chain. Xia Hong''s mind moved slightly and chose Wooden Man Stake, and a message appeared: Wooden Man Pile (Unconstructed) Resources required for construction: wood 100 iron 20 Sure enough, the remaining seven buildings, all required resources to unlock. For six of the buildings, the resources needed to build them were Wood Coal Iron. The small wooden table, on the other hand, required silver, while the last one, the thick iron chain, required gold. Having seen the power of the small fire, Xia Hong was naturally eyeing these buildings. But the reality is, not to mention the gold and silver at the back, he has been in this world for a month and has not even seen coal. Light a small fire to rise to the second level, will need wood 200, iron 50. Xia Hong''s mind moved slightly and walked to the side of the cave wall. On the ground were three large trees about thirty meters long and more than three meters thick. Although Xia Hong hadn''t gone out to cut wood, but this month, he had seen the woods not far away from the cave entrance. The big trees in this world had horrible growth. Not only was the growth horrible, but the weight was also exaggerated. Due to the low temperature, the outer skin of all the trees, had a layer of ice crystals, greatly increasing the difficulty of felling. With a base strength of less than five thousand pounds, there was no possibility of felling. This is why logging has become a sign of strength. Xia Ding every time he went out to log, basically picked the thinnest. It wasn''t that they didn''t want to pick the thick ones, picking the thick ones, they simply couldn''t cut through them. Even if they were lucky and cut it, they probably wouldn''t be able to lift it back. Xia Hong looked at the three large trees on the ground, his eyes pondering. ¡°These three are roughly 15 units of wood, which means if you want to raise the small fire to two levels, you''ll need at least twenty of these large trees and 20 units of iron.¡± Thinking of this, Xia Hong shook his head and hurriedly stopped his thoughts. Not to mention twenty trees, according to what Xia Ding and the members of the logging team had said earlier, before the strength broke five thousand pounds, even cutting down trees was a problem. Not to mention iron, of all the camps around the entire Redwood Ridge, I''m afraid that only the Rogue Camp had it. ¡°Right now, surviving is the number one priority, in addition, also need to intensify cultivation, before also thought of step by step, use a month to break through five thousand pounds, now must be the faster the better!¡± Xia Hong whispered to himself, a sense of urgency in his heart. Fifteen units of wood was only enough for the small fire for seven and a half days. It was still possible to stay up at night, but during the day, if there was no fire to keep them warm, the camp was going to freeze to death. ............ In the past, it was not that they had never experienced daylight, but for the campers, these four hours during the day today were particularly difficult. On the one hand, because they had just suffered a disaster and lost many relatives, their mood was already low. On the other hand, because they knew that they would have to migrate at night, they had a sense of uncertainty in their hearts. But no matter what, this daytime, finally got through. Xia Hong opened a crack from the mouth of the cave and looked out. Outside has already entered the night, although there is no bright light, the ice crystals and snowflakes will decorate the earth with silver, and visibility is still OK. Of course, the key thing was that once night came, the temperature rose. Xia Hong turned his head and looked at all the people in the camp behind him who were carrying their bags. The 154 people had been divided into three waves by him. The first wave of 40, were all strong men and women; The second wave consisted of 76 children and 13 strong women; The third wave consisted of him and Natsukawa, and another 23 young and strong men. ¡°With the strong men at the head, divide twelve of you and carry those three trees. All the children in the center, you thirteen females, take care of them. Xia Chuan, and you twenty-three, join me in the rear. Don''t mess up the team, once something happens, blow the bone whistle first, don''t yell, lest you invite trouble, do you understand?¡± ¡°Understood!¡± Hearing the crowd''s reply in unison, Xia Hong then waved his hand to signal for departure. A group of more than a hundred people walked out of the cave one after another. Only when the last group of people had left did Xia Hong turn back to look at the small fire. When his mind moved slightly, the small fire went out, and the status of the last part of the small fire in the camp system changed back to unplaced. After dealing with the fire, Xia Hong immediately trotted behind the group. A group of people headed west, the white fur animal skin and clothes on their bodies mixed with the color of the snow, as if they were gradually melting into this cruel and merciless world of ice and snow. The will of the people in the camp Icy sky and snow, cold wind piercing the bones Under the starry night, the group of people from the Daxia campground walked towards the west with great difficulty. From cave number one to cave number four, it was less than two thousand meters. But for this distance of less than two kilometers, more than a hundred people from the Daxia camp had walked for two hours. It was mainly because the snow on Redwood Ridge was incredibly thick. Out of the cave, even the thinnest snow was more than half a meter high. Thick, even five or six meters, the head of the strong team, there are already several fell down the snow slope, fell nose and face. Meet the snow thicker place, the team only stops, relying on the front of the team of strong men to push out a hard road, to continue to go. Secondly, the weather was cold, and the night vision was not good. Considering the children in the team, Xia Hong can only deliberately slow down the speed. Although the traveling speed was slow, there were still quite a few people who were injured. But in the end, it arrived without any danger. Cave number four, on the west side of the small dirt slope, the entrance of the cave was covered with dense foliage, which was now covered with a layer of snow, and had even formed small ice creams. There are already children in the team with frozen lips, Xia Hong copied the stone axe, three and two times to split the cave entrance, and rushed to organize the crowd to go in. This cave is about a hundred meters square, more spacious than the previous one. Xia Hong entered the cave, took the lead to raise the fire, and then told Xia Chuan to bring people to re-seal the cave entrance. This made Xia Chuan a little puzzled, the temperature at night was higher than during the day, and the cold beasts did not move around frequently, so there was generally no need to seal the cave. But soon, he understood. ¡°Everyone gather around, I have something to say!¡± Xia Hong gathered everyone around him, then pointed at the fire and solemnly said: ¡°Camp now, the most important thing is this fire, this fire has a deterrent killing effect on the creepy monsters, but it will also attract the cold beasts, so in the future, no matter if it''s at night or during the day, in and out you must seal the cave entrance, do you understand?¡± Earlier inside the cave, the scene where the impostor Xia Ding was killed into flying dust, all of them witnessed it with their own eyes, at this moment, they were convinced of Xia Hong''s words and nodded their heads. ¡°Chuan, how much food do we have left now?¡± Xia Chuan''s face instantly sank a bit at the words, and replied, ¡°There are roughly seven hundred pounds of crystal fruits left, and there are only sixty pounds of cold beast meat left.¡± Everyone, upon hearing this number, instantly became worried. Of course, this also included Xia Hong. This world''s environment was so harsh that naturally, there was no such thing as farming. Perhaps there was, but the current Daxia campsite was certainly out of reach. Daxia, including all the camp humans around Redwood Ridge, the rations were all fruits from a tree called Bing Shuo. That kind of fruit is the size of a fist, the outer skin is crystallized, the inside is soft and sticky, and it also carries a sweet taste, and each one is about half a kilogram. Normal people, two a day, basically can barely maintain subsistence. If you stumble upon this tale on Amazon, it''s taken without the author''s consent. Report it. More than seven hundred pounds, which sounded a lot at first glance, could be used for 154 people, and would not be enough. Even if one person is given only one a day to economize. These seven hundred pounds would only last less than ten days. As for the cold beast meat, perhaps there were giant camps that could use cold beast meat as rations, but in the Great Summer camps, cold beast blood and flesh, like wood, was considered a strategic resource. Humans in this world relied on cold beast blood and meat for their cultivation. Originally, Xia Ding practiced a rationing system in the Great Xia camp. For the members of the logging team, each person was given one pound per day. And those between the ages of fifteen and eighteen would get half a catty every three days. On the surface, this was the case, but in reality, this was not the case. Because the cold beast''s blood and meat from the previous camp was too little. At least in the month that Xia Hong had crossed over, he had seen Xia Ding bring back a cold beast of a Bone Thorn Frost Wolf, and it was still a hatchling, with only a hundred pounds or so. With so many monks and so little meat, the camp''s cold beasts'' blood and meat were practically prioritized for the sons and daughters of the logging team members. The two of them, Xia Ding and Xia Chuan, were able to share it before. However, Xia Chuan used the excuse that his brother was going to break through the logging level and gave all his cold beast blood meat to Xia Hong. This was also why Xia Hong had such deep feelings for Xia Chuan in just one month. Don''t look at the two as blood brothers. One must realize that this was a world where one could die at any time. A strategic material like Cold Beast Blood and Flesh could enhance strength, it would not be an exaggeration to say that it was equivalent to a life. And yet, Xia Chuan was willing to let him have it, showing how pure this brother''s heart was. And just as Xia Hong was pondering, Xia Chuan over there, had already walked from the back, holding a ball of azure blue meat to the side of the fire. The cold beast''s flesh and blood, it was blue. Xia Hong was slightly stunned, but he quickly realized what Xia Chuan was trying to do. ¡°Gentlemen, I''m not going to talk about falsehoods, my brother is the strongest and is only a little bit short of the Vastwood Realm right now. I propose that we give all sixty pounds of cold beast blood and meat to him, so that he can break through earlier, and the safety of our camp will be guaranteed. What does everyone think, how about it?¡± Sure enough, Xia Hong guessed correctly. He subconsciously wanted to speak out and refuse, but after thinking about it, he still didn''t open his mouth. Although it was a bit selfish, Xia Chuan''s words were no problem. But human nature is still complicated in the end, after Xia Chuan finished his words, the bottom fell into a dead silence, and no one opened their mouths. Especially those, the scions of the previous camp logging team members. ¡°Hong, we trust you, but can you swear that after breaking through the logging level, you won''t leave us behind and leave alone?¡± The one who opened his mouth to speak was a burly youth. Yuan Cheng, with a brash personality and not much heart. His father, Yuan Gang, was second only to Xia Ding in strength in the camp. Xia Hong flashed through the other party''s information in his mind and did not answer first, but turned his gaze elsewhere first, observing the reactions of the others. ¡°At this time, it''s true that we should focus our resources on allowing Hong to raise his strength.¡± ¡°But those blood and flesh, my father fought for his life to get it back.¡± ¡°Without a logging-level battle power, we can''t even collect wood, and by the time these three trees burn out, we''ll freeze to death.¡± ¡°I think that it should be given to Hong.¡± ¡°That''s right, let it go to him.¡± ............ The only ones who opened their mouths to speak were the children of the previous logging team members. From here, one could see the ecology of the previous Daxia camp. Xia Ding and those logging team members were at the top, responsible for searching for resources and also determining the distribution of resources in the camp. Then their families and heirs were the second class, enjoying the privilege of prioritizing resources, as well as having a certain amount of say in the affairs of the camp. The rest of the people, on the other hand, all belonged to the third class, waiting for the distribution of resources. Xia Hong clarified his thoughts and reached out to gently press his hand. When the crowd saw his gesture, they immediately shut their mouths. The previous attack on the camp, as well as leading them to move, Xia Hong''s performance had already established a certain amount of prestige in their hearts. ¡°Cheng, if I want to leave, even if I take an oath it will still be the same, so I can''t guarantee anything to you guys ......¡± Xia Hong responded to Yuan Cheng and then paused for a moment, then continued with a heavier tone: ¡°Trust is the cornerstone between us, I will only say one thing, if you guys are willing to give me this piece of flesh and blood, one day in the future, I will repay you ten times a hundred times. If you are willing to give it to me, you all make yourselves known now. If you''re not willing, I won''t say anything and continue as before.¡± As Xia Hong''s words fell, the cave first fell into silence. But soon, there was the first voice: ¡°Hong, I believe in you.¡± Then came the second, the third. ¡°I also believe in the chief.¡± ¡°I, Yuan Cheng, am willing to give my cold beast blood and flesh to Hong.¡± ¡°That''s right, only when the chief becomes stronger can we continue to live.¡± ............ Voices of support and trust rose and fell in the crowd. On Xia Hong''s face, a smile also appeared. Receiving the ball of cold beast''s blood and flesh from Xia Chuan''s hands, a trace of determination gradually bubbled up in Xia Hong''s eyes. ¡°In this kind of extremely cold end-of-the-world environment, only a camp that trusts each other and is sincere with each other can truly survive, and the strength, sooner or later, will be there.¡± Breaking through the logging realm Beside the fire, everyone in the Daxia camp was there, either lying down or leaning against it. A small portion of those who were too young had already fallen asleep because they were too tired from the previous rush. The vast majority of people had their eyes open, staring at the left side of the fire, a tall man wearing only an animal skin skirt and a bare upper body. Upon closer inspection, it turned out that what the crowd was staring at was not the man. Rather, it was a piece of meat grasped in the man''s hand. The meat in the man''s hand was freshly roasted and was still fragrant. Almost without exception, as long as the people who are awake, are unable to swallow saliva. The man was naturally Xia Hong. Having just changed to a new environment, other people might still have time to adapt, but he couldn''t, he had to improve his strength as soon as possible and break through to the Vastwood Realm. ¡°Five pounds at a time, it shouldn''t be much of a problem!¡± Cold beast blood and meat, contained extremely strong energy, if one ate too much at once, it was going to prop one up. Xia Hong hadn''t eaten it for the first time, naturally, he was clear about this, according to his previous experience of eating it, five pounds at a time shouldn''t be much of a problem for him. With the meat into the belly, the first wave came, which was the feeling of satiety. As the feeling of satiety continued to fill up, the blood gradually began to boil, and a strong burning sensation rose violently in his abdomen. Immediately afterward, his forehead, shoulders, back, lower limbs, and even the soles of his feet and palms of his hands, which were the ends of his body, all began to sweat madly. The muscles of his hands gradually exploded, his forehead, the backs of his hands and legs, and the veins on all parts of his body also began to bulge. Xia Hong''s breathing became heavy, even with a burning feeling, exhaled airflow, in the eyes of the camp crowd, unusually clear. Suddenly, Xia Hong moved. He clenched his hands and recovered his fists, and then jerked his waist, straight fist forward, his fists were like two cannonballs, and the place where they were struck, despite being empty, the air shook more than once, if a person were to catch it, the downfall could be imagined. ¡°You watch, this is the long fist, rise like a gale, strike like lightning, forehand lead, backhand chase, two hands swap one air destruction, when there is enough cold beast blood and flesh, camp regardless of men and women, all have to follow me to practice together.¡± Xia Hong punched while explaining Tai Zu Long Fist to the camp crowd. Crystal fruits can only maintain food and clothing, if you want to cultivate, you must have cold beast blood and flesh. It was well understood that eating a full stomach would at best allow the body to maintain basic functioning. To hammer the body and enhance the body''s functioning, it is necessary to eat meat. This world''s cultivation method, simple and crude, is to eat a large number of cold beast blood and meat, and then through the catharsis, non-stop absorption of flesh and blood energy, the body''s strength will continue to enhance. There is not a single person in the camp who does not want to cultivate. This story has been stolen from Royal Road. If you read it on Amazon, please report it But when survival is a problem, cultivation is even more of a luxury. Even at this moment, Xia Ding taught them the long fist routine, they can only quietly lie on the ground to listen. It wasn''t that they didn''t want to get up, it was to move less and reduce consumption. ¡°Chuan, this Long Fist, did Uncle Ding pass it on to Hong?¡± Looking at Xia Hong, who was still imposing in the field, a hint of envy appeared in Yuan Hong''s eyes as he turned his head to ask Xia Chuan beside him. Xia Chuan''s face was filled with pride as he whispered, ¡°This was created by my brother himself a month ago, and I''m telling you that by practicing this Long Fist, the speed of absorbing the energy from the cold beast''s flesh and blood will become faster.¡± Yuan Hong''s pupils suddenly shrunk at the sound of his voice. He was also someone who had eaten the blood and flesh of cold beasts and knew what this statement meant. By absorbing the energy from the cold beast''s blood and flesh, the power would increase, and this process was cultivation, and increasing the speed of absorbing the energy meant increasing the speed of cultivation. ¡°Really?¡± ¡°Of course it''s true, my brother taught me, I''ve tried it myself.¡± ¡°Good, then when there is cold beast blood and flesh, I will also practice.¡± ¡°Don''t worry, didn''t you hear me, my brother just said that when there is no shortage of blood meat, he will teach us.¡± ............ In the next few days, according to the body limit standard, Xia Hong thundered five pounds a day, and his strength grew steadily. Before the camp was attacked, his base strength would have been four thousand pounds, and in the five days since then, he had been able to gain one hundred pounds of qi almost every day. The item used to measure strength in the Daxia camp was a set of brown round wooden stakes. There were a total of twelve stakes, five one hundred jin ones, two five hundred jin ones, and five one thousand jin ones. When Xia Hong measured his strength every day, the camp crowd watched. From 4100 pounds on the first day to 4900 pounds on the seventh day. The mood of the crowd became more and more uplifted, and hope slowly rose in their eyes as they looked at the hole that had been closed. In the past, when Xia Ding and the members of the logging team were still around, they were able to open the cave entrance at night to get some air, but now that they had been closed in the cave for years and years, it was naturally more difficult for them. More critically, the crystal fruits, there weren''t many left. Even though it was rationed according to the minimum amount, there were after all only over seven hundred pounds. 154 people, seven days had already consumed more than five hundred pounds. What was left was not enough to eat for three days. Everyone''s hope could only be pinned on Xia Hong. So before nightfall on the eighth day, when Xia Hong walked in front of the brown stake. The eyes of the crowd all gathered on him. Xia Hong, who knew the situation of the camp well, naturally understood their feelings. He didn''t say anything, just silently stacked the five jack stakes on top of each other. Slowly squatting down, he wrapped his hands around the bottommost stake. Taking a deep breath, he then began to exert force. Five thousand pounds, it was hard for an ordinary person to imagine its weight. But for people in this world, five thousand pounds was just the foundation. Being able to lift something that weighed five thousand pounds did not mean that one could only exert five thousand pounds of strength. Just like Xia Ding, his base strength was over seven thousand pounds. But Xia Hong had observed that when Xia Ding swung his axe, his strength was definitely above ten thousand pounds. The power would change depending on the individual''s skill, body, and even the situation, but the base power, could not be faked. Why must one have more than five thousand pounds of basic strength to go outside to cut wood, this question, Xia Hong earlier asked Xia Ding. Xia Ding did not answer, but just threw him a stone axe and told him to go cut down the trees. Cutting the trees that the logging team brought back from the outskirts of Redwood Ridge. Xia Hong''s base strength at that time was more than two thousand pounds, who knows, an axe chopped up, the tiger''s mouth collapsed, the elbow joints, but also a direct fracture. To know, these trees are Xia Ding led the logging team from the outside after cutting, brought back to the cave, and also put a lot of days, the original layer of crystallization of the outer skin melted. Base two thousand pounds of force, actually even the outer skin can not be broken. Xia Hong immediately realized that one can survive in this kind of extremely cold environment, whether it is a person or a tree, one can not use common sense to see. What''s more, just take a look at the Redwood Ridge side of the sky-scraping dense forest to know, compared to human beings, these trees, live better. ¡°Five thousand pounds, only the first step!¡± Xia Hong drank lowly, his eyes widened angrily, his hands snapped upwards, the muscles in all parts of his body began to bulge, and his blood seemed to boil. The five jack stakes, in the expectant gazes of everyone in the camp, slowly rose off the ground until they were lifted above Xia Hong''s head. ¡°Brother, you''ve broken through.¡± ¡°Chief, strong!¡± ¡°Five thousand pounds now, hahahahaha, the chief is powerful.¡± ¡°Hong, you''re already in the Vastwood Realm.¡± Bang ............ Xia Hong threw the stake on the ground, smashing it with a loud bang, and looked back at the crowd, his face also finally showed a color of relaxation that had been missing for a long time. ¡°As soon as it gets dark, I''ll go out and look for the Crystal Fruit!¡± Bingshuo, Jushang, Jinrin The Daxia camp, finally, had once again given birth to a lumbering-level combatant. The mood of the crowd was instantly much better. Xia Hong''s mood, needless to say, originally thought it would take more than ten days, but it turned out to be a breakthrough in eight days, which shows the potential of their body. It was about to be night, Xia Hong didn''t procrastinate, he walked to the fire, and in the crowd''s astonished gaze, he pulled out a burnt stick from it. That stick is black, about half a meter, the bottom is thin and thick, and the thick end, the very top is white. Small Torch: the fire pile can generate one for every 10 units of wood burned, it can be carried around, and its function is similar to that of the small fire pile. The special function of the small fire pile, after spending eight days in the cave, although it was saving the wood to use, it had burned a total of 13 units, so it generated one. Since he was going out, it was natural to be prepared for everything. It was similar in function to the small fire, meaning that it also had the same effect of shocking and killing the creepy monsters, but at the same time, it would also attract the cold beasts. Soon, it was dark. Xia Hong tied the torch to his back with a rope, had two hand axes on his waist, and then pulled out a long stick about three meters from the side of the camp wall. Looking out through the large gap in the hole''s fingers to confirm that the sky was completely dark, Xia Hong turned back and gave a final instruction to Xia Chuan. ¡°Remember the code word I explained, I will rush back before dawn, when I leave, you immediately seal the cave entrance, if someone comes, as long as they can''t match the code word, no matter who it is, don''t expose it, understand?¡± That slaughter was only eight days ago, and Xia Chuan''s memory was still fresh, naturally, he understood the importance of this explanation from Xia Hong and heavily nodded his head. Xia Hong also did not say anymore, tore open an opening, and directly drilled out. Xia Chuan''s side quickly sealed the hole, but through the last bit of gap, saw Xia Hong''s departing figure, his eyes still showing a trace of worry. ............ The exact size of the Redwood Ridge, not to mention Xia Hong, even Xia Ding was not clear. After all, Daxia is only a small camp, these years, although it is also constantly exploring, the scope of activities is also the slope east of the Redwood Ridge on this side. Moreover, it was circling those six caves. The rough range was about five kilometers in a circle. Within these five kilometers, the most important is the periphery of the Redwood Ridge to the west. Nothing else, just because the trees in Redwood Ridge, are very numerous. Not only were there more, but they were also extending outward like crazy. By all accounts, there were a total of nine human camps around Redwood Ridge, and after years and years of felling, Redwood Ridge should be constantly shrinking. However, according to Xia Ding''s observation, the Redwood Ridge had not contracted over the years but instead was constantly expanding outwards. The trees grew bigger and bigger and also grew more and more. The fast growth rate of resources was originally good for humans. But the problem was that these trees were not only resources to them. To the cold beasts, it was likewise. The vast majority of the cold beasts'' habitats were in the trees. The narrative has been illicitly obtained; should you discover it on Amazon, report the violation. Moreover, in addition to hunting for food, the cold beasts also liked to eat the fruits on the trees. So the expansion of Redwood Ridge was fatal to the neighboring camps. As the trees continued to extend, the range of those cold beasts'' activities was getting closer and closer to the neighboring camps, and the humans would become more and more dangerous. Of course, these things, are not what Xia Hong, at this stage, should consider. Although it was a night, the ground was snow-covered, so the sight was barely okay. Without realizing it, he had already walked to the edge of the Redwood Ridge. As far as the eye could see, the huge trees that could be called ancient trees in the previous life were sparse and commonplace here, and could even only be considered small. On Xia Hong''s cursory glance, even the thinnest trees on the periphery had a diameter of three or four meters, and thirty to fifty meters long could be seen everywhere. Inside is even more horrible, five or six meters in diameter, or even more than ten meters, can be seen, those giant trees, head up can not see the top, do not know how high. Snow-covered trees, hanging thousands of sharp ice cream, and wantonly falling snowflakes, together form a beautiful snow and ice scroll. Only, Xia Hong at this moment, did not have this leisure and elegance. He picked for a long time and selected a tree three meters thick. Xia Hong nervously walked up and peeled off the surface of the snow, which first revealed a layer of ice crystals, ice crystals under the bark, vaguely flashing a ray of red light. Seeing the red light, and then raised his head and carefully scanned the crown of the tree, after not finding anything, immediately sighed with relief. ¡°Vermilion Frost Tree, there should be no cold beasts entrenched.¡± According to what Xia Ding had said earlier, the eastern periphery of the Redwood Ridge had the most Vermilion Frost Trees. Because the branches and trunks of the Vermilion Frost Tree were relatively fragile and the cold beasts were large, they usually did not choose to roost on them. Unlike the Vermilion Frost, a tree with a yellowish appearance called the Golden Rin, with very sturdy branches and a thick trunk, was most favored by the cold beasts and would often perch on it at night. Moreover, there were cold beasts that would make nests and settle on it. In addition, the number of Golden Rin trees is not too many, so generally, the cold beasts that can stably perch on it, their strength is not weak. Xia Hong used his hand axe to mark the small Vermilion Frost tree, and after memorizing the route, he continued to walk in. The camp was almost out of food and wood. This tree was saved to be cut down when he returned, the priority was to find the crystal fruit. ¡°The Ice Shuo Tree loves light and grows faster in places with light, so it usually grows in more open places.¡± Xia Hong recalled the characteristics of the Ice Shuo Tree and looked around the forest, picking a tree and then confirming that there was nothing on it, he directly climbed up. The outer skin of these trees, and snow and ice crystals, were not only cold and biting but also slippery, after a great effort, Xia Hong finally climbed to the top. On the top of the tree, the line of sight is much better. Soon, Xia Hong on the west side of the two to three hundred meters away, found a more open area. ¡°Eight hundred paces on the eastern periphery of the Redwood Ridge is considered our Great Xia''s territory, if you enter the logging team in the future, you must remember this rule, if you venture into someone else''s territory and get killed, you can''t blame it on anyone.¡± Recalling what Xia Ding had said before, Xia Hong jumped off the tree in a single leap headed towards that open area on the west side, and walked over. Eight hundred paces was roughly a mile range. That open area, belonging to the Great Xia territory, was not much of a problem to go over. According to the Bing Shuo tree, this kind of tree that can grow staple food, such an important tree, the camp should have to memorize the location and save the need to go looking for it every time. It had memorized it, but the death of Xia Ding and the logging team was too unexpected. The people who could go out of the camp were originally the thirteen of them, and all thirteen of them knew the location of the Ice Master Tree. Who would have thought that there was no time to tell Xia Hong, that thirteen people died together? Fortunately, this tree is not far away, and Xia Hong did not make much effort to find it. Although he was eager to seek food, Xia Hong still tried to calmly approach that way. Along the way, every time he passed a tree, he would raise his head and carefully search for the crown position. At night, although it was the dormant period of the cold beasts. But it didn''t mean that they wouldn''t wake up. Xia Hong hadn''t seen any cold beasts until now but only learned about two or three kinds from the previous conversation between Xia Ding and the members of the logging team. Although he had never seen a live one, just from the number and frequency of the camp acquiring the blood and flesh of the cold beasts when Xia Ding was still around before, he could surmise that their strength was terrifying. Thirteen Vastwood Realms, in a month, had only managed to hunt down a juvenile Spiny Bone Frost Wolf. This could already explain a lot. Xia Hong had to be careful, with his current strength, when he encountered a cold beast, the probability was that he would die. Fortunately, all the way there was no danger, For more than an hour, Xia Hong finally walked to that open area. To the destination towards the front, Xia Hong''s face was suddenly full of smiles. In the middle of the open area, a forty-meter high, silver-decorated sky-high Ice Shuo tree stood silently, and above it was dangling densely densely densely densely densely densely densely densely densely crystallized fruit. ¡°Luck is so good, I''m afraid this must have thousands of pounds.¡± Xia Hong was not overwhelmed by joy and directly went up the tree to pick the fruit. Instead, he first picked another nearby Vermilion Frost tree and climbed to the top. He began to carefully observe the crown part of that Ice Frost Tree. At this look, his face immediately lowered a lot. Snow Mane At first glance, this Ice Master Tree was no different from the other trees in the neighborhood. The body of the tree is covered with snow, the crown is also silver, and thousands of ice cream hanging on the branches of the horizontal fork, like a curtain. But if you look closely, you will find that there is a thick branch, dozens of more than a meter-long ice cream, but it is bizarre upside down. Xia Hong carefully stared at the trunk of the tree, immediately distinguished. That was no ice cream, it was a snow-white giant creature that was resting on the tree trunk. A tongue that was four or five meters long was hanging down from its mouth. Its tongue was also white and had a layer of ice on its exterior, so if you didn''t look closely, you would have thought it was just a particularly long ice cream. And those upside-down ¡°ice cream¡± are the barbs on its back. It was dark, if you didn''t look closely, you wouldn''t be able to see it. Thanks to Xia Hong is the first time to go out, and extra careful, can be found. Under the night, the exact size of the creature could not be seen clearly, but with a long tongue, coupled with the barbs on its back, Xia Hong had already recognized it. ¡°Long-tongued Snow Mane, only two meters long, should be a hatchling!¡± There weren''t many types of cold beasts on this side of the Redwood Ridge outskirts. Two of them were the most common, the Bone Spur Frost Wolf and the Long Tongue Snow Mane. According to what he had heard from the members of the logging team earlier, the Long-tongued Snow Bristle was probably a low-grade cold beast shaped like a wild boar. The Long Tongue Snow Bristle''s body size was extremely large, even as a hatchling, it had three to four hundred pounds; as an adult, it was over a thousand pounds. The snow bristles have infinite strength, preferring to attack with the spikes on their backs and foreheads, and even more crucial is their meters-long tongue, which is not only long, sharp, and pointed, but also can be hard or soft, and can''t be defended against. ¡°This kind of snow mane, if you come across a juvenile one, if you have a very strong archer, together with ten or so good feeling realm fighters circling with it, there is still a chance to hunt it, otherwise if you come across it in the wild, there is nothing to say, just run.¡± Thinking of what he had heard earlier, Xia Hong took a deep breath and tried to calm down. Although it was very heartwarming to the Snow Mane''s good meat, one still had to face reality. Thanks to the fact that it was nighttime and the snowman was asleep. If it was daytime and he ran into a waking one, it was questionable if he could even survive. ¡°Be quiet, don''t disturb him, pick some crystal fruits and withdraw.¡± ¡°The Long Tongue Snow Mane''s greatest characteristic is that it is extremely sleepy at night, as long as you don''t attack it, it basically won''t wake up.¡± Although the members of the logging team would not lie to themselves, Xia Hong naturally would not joke with his own life, he first picked up a stone from the ground, then climbed to the tree and threw it violently towards a tree that was a hundred meters away. The stone hit the tree and only shook for a moment, not causing much movement. But the ice cream on the tree, because of this vibration falls. Ice cream hit the ground and was issued by a sound, in the silence of the dense forest exceptionally clear, Xia Hong also held his breath and carefully observed the snow mane. Snow mane to so big sound ignores, always still sound asleep. This scene, also lets Xia Hong put down his heart. ¡°Pick the fruit gently, it shouldn''t be too much of a problem.¡± Stolen from Royal Road, this story should be reported if encountered on Amazon. However, just as Xia Hong was about to come down from the tree. Whoosh ...... The sound of an arrow cutting through the air suddenly came from the opposite side. In the darkness of the night, although Xia Hong couldn''t see the sharp arrow, just judging from the direction the sound came from, he could conclude that it was the snowman on the tree. ¡°Roar ............¡± As expected, as the sound of the sharp arrow disappeared, an angry hissing sound suddenly came from the Ice Shuo tree. That sound shook the heavens and moved the earth, and the entire tree began to tremble, the ice cream on the branches of the tree was shaken apart, and the snowflakes on the ground were shaken and splattered in all directions. Even the tree, Xia Hong, followed and trembled wildly. ¡°Crazy, this is the people from Boulder Camp?¡± Xia Hong shouted furiously in his heart, but his body didn''t dare to move at all. The several camps around Redwood Ridge had all divided up their respective territories in the early years, led by the Rogue Camp. The west side of Daxia''s territory in Redwood Ridge was the territory of Boulder Camp. At this moment, Xia Hong already of course didn''t care about Boulder Camp crossing the border. He was only curious about where the Boulder Camp was, where it got the guts to dare to make a move against a Long-tongued Snow Mane. Although he was not clear about the specific strength of the Boulder Camp, he could be sure that the other party, like Daxia, was also a small camp, holding up a few more logging-level combatants than Daxia. Such strength, could hunt snow manes? Soon, Xia Hong realized that he was wrong. At the Boulder camp, it seemed like there was something. ¡°Shidong, its left eye was shot by me, aim at its right eye with me, the rest of you, hurry and lasso it with a rope!¡± A stern voice came from the west side of the Bing Shuo tree. Seventeen people followed the voice, all of them were clad in animal skin skirts, each holding a stone axe in their hands, except for the first one at the head, who was carrying, in his hand, a large, brightly shining knife. ¡°Iron should have gone to the Rogues camp to buy it.¡± Xia Hong looked at the large knife, and a touch of envy appeared in his eyes. Under the extremely cold weather, both stone and iron had changed greatly. Daxia originally also had a half-iron weapon, which was Xia Ding''s axe. Add a ¡°half¡± word, because in that axe, only the edge of the part of the blade is iron, the axe body is still stone plus a wooden handle. But even half iron, its sharpness is far more than the stone axe. Xia Hong had personally used the stone axe and that iron axe chopping, stone axe gap, while the iron axe is unharmed. Light axe blades are made of iron and are so strong, not to mention the hands of the other side of the big shiny knife. Not to mention Xia Hong''s envy, under the Ice Shuo Tree, the crowd of the Boulder Camp had already exchanged hands with that Snow Mane. The snowman''s left eye was indeed shot, and the dark arrow was still stuck in. The Snow Mane probably ate the pain, and after coming down from the tree, although the hissing stopped, the breathing became unusually heavy. The small eye that was left on the right side had long been filled with blood and red and was staring at the group of people from the boulder camp. Its hind limbs plowed twice on the snow, and then violently sprinted. It was as fast as a white arrow leaving the string and as fierce as a mountain tumbling down. Looking at the Snow Mane''s huge body, it was completely unimaginable that its speed could be this fast. The huge body with the extreme speed, the cold air was even dispersed, and the impact force contained in this strike could be imagined. ¡°Quickly avoid it, release the noose, quick!¡± Again that stern voice rang out, and Xia Hong cast his gaze behind a tree on the west side. The man commanding should be an archer, and there was another one called Shi Dong who was also an archer and should be hiding on the other side as well. That person was commanding while frantically shooting arrows with the other archer. Only those arrows, none of them hit the Snow Mane''s vitals. Even though they didn''t hit, they managed to interfere with the Snow Mane''s forward sprinting speed. At the same time when the Snow Mane was interfered with, the fourteen people under the Ice Shock Tree all scattered, avoiding the Snow Mane while placing more than a dozen rope sets on the ground. The leader who was holding a big sword, even avoided while at the same time, throwing the noose directly on the snow mane''s neck. The Snow Mane couldn''t collect the force and hit the ground full of nooses at once. All of Snow Mane''s limbs plus his head were indeed caught in the noose. ¡°Harder, pull!¡± The stern commanding voice behind the tree rang out, and those fourteen scattered people, quickly gathered together, divided into five sets of people, yanked up the ropes on the ground, and ran in five directions, respectively, with violent force. Roar ............ Snow Mane let out a roar, but unfortunately, it still stumbled, and was yanked and flipped directly over, smashing into the ground with a loud bang. And at the same time, two arrows shot from behind the tree like shooting stars. Straight into Snow Mane''s crimson right eye. Plop ...... The two arrows all hit. The Snow Mane let out an even more miserable and angry roar. ¡°It''s done!¡± ¡°Hahahahahahaha, the chief is awesome.¡± ¡°This sinful animal, it hurts even if it hurts.¡± ............ The laughter of the people in the Boulder Camp was in sharp contrast to the angry and agonizing cries of the Snow Mane. The Boulder Camp crowd, although happy, did not approach when they saw that the Snow Mane was still tumbling. The two archers in the distance also did not come out, hiding behind the trees and continuously shooting arrows to compensate. With time, the snowman tumbling movement becomes smaller and smaller, smaller and smaller, until finally stops moving. The crowd in the boulder camp seemed to have finally breathed a sigh of relief. The leader holding the knife, smashed the stone several times in the air, confirming that the snow mane was dead before he finally opened his mouth to the forest queen. ¡°Chief, it''s dead.¡± Behind the trees on the west side, two middle-aged men did come out, leading the crowd towards the Snowman''s corpse. Seeing the crowd begin to harvest their prey, Xia Hong, who had been hiding in the tree, frowned slightly.
