Endless Winter: My Camp Upgrades Infinitely

On the snowy ground, a man in black was slowly walking towards the four.

As the distance closed, Liu Dahu, Meng Yuan, and their two followers clearly saw the young man's attire and appearance. Their expressions suddenly froze, and their moods became unusually heavy.

Although it was night, the visibility was not low due to the snow-covered ground.

Despite being more than ten meters away, the four could clearly see that the young man's close-fitting black clothes faintly shimmered with a metallic luster, obviously not ordinary.

Looking at the man's appearance, his face was like jade, and his skin was completely unlike their rough complexions. Even his hands, visible from his sleeves, seemed to glow with a faint white light.

The young man was clearly not wearing any weapons.

However, Liu Dahu and the others felt their hairs stand on end, and their gazes became extremely solemn.

Especially seeing the young man continuing to approach them, the four were on high alert, instinctively drawing their weapons.

"Headman Meng, he's from Great Xia! He just heard what we said. Strike first, we can't let him go back and report!"

Liu Dahu took down the longbow from his back and shot at the man in black, while also loudly reminding Meng Yuan and the other two beside him.

Thinking of what the young man had just said, Meng Yuan's pupils suddenly contracted. Although a hint of hesitation flashed across his face, he gritted his teeth and drew his saber.

The two behind him also drew their sabers and charged up with him.

"To be this stupid and still become a headman is a strange thing indeed!"

The man in black was naturally Xia Hong.

Seeing Meng Yuan actually being fooled by Liu Dahu and charging up, Xia Hong immediately shook his head.

Whoosh…

He simply waved his right hand lightly, sweeping away the first two iron arrows shot by Liu Dahu. Then, his eyes narrowed, and his left hand grabbed the third arrow like lightning.

Taking advantage of this gap, Meng Yuan had already led his men to him. Almost at the same time as Xia Hong grabbed the third iron arrow, the three men's sabers had already slashed towards him horizontally.

"This…"

The three were not fools. Seeing Xia Hong casually resolve all three iron arrows, they immediately realized that the young man in black before them was someone they could not afford to provoke.

But the problem was, the sabers had already been swung.

Even if they wanted to retract them, they couldn't.

Yet, Xia Hong didn't dodge or evade.

Although Meng Yuan's face was full of fear, a fierce glint flashed in the depths of his pupils at this scene, and he slashed down with his saber.

Clang… Clang… Clang…

All three sabers accurately struck Xia Hong's body. Meng Yuan aimed for the neck, while the other two aimed for the waist and chest respectively.

However, the expected beheading and disembowelment did not occur.

Only three sounds of metal clashing echoed in the silent forest.

Meng Yuan and the others realized that the positions they had struck didn't even leave a white mark. Instantly, sweat poured down like rain, and their bodies began to tremble uncontrollably.

In an instant, they even forgot to retract their sabers.

"Look back at Liu Dahu."

Hearing this, Meng Yuan turned back and saw that Liu Dahu had already run more than a hundred meters away. His face flushed red, wanting to curse, but he didn't dare to make a sound in front of the young man, and could only freeze on the spot.

However, the next scene made his body tremble even more violently.

The young man simply raised his head, and with his left hand, lightly tossed the iron arrow towards Liu Dahu in the distance.

It was truly just a light toss, so light that it was impossible to see that he had used any force.

But the iron arrow suddenly flew out like a shooting star, leaving a straight sharp line in the night sky, accurately hitting Liu Dahu's back.

"Ah…"

Liu Dahu screamed and fell directly from the tree.

Meng Yuan, on the other hand, finally reacted at this moment and knelt down directly to the young man, pleading, "Lord, spare me! Lord, spare me! I was bewitched by others to attack you. Please spare me…"

"Lord, spare me…"

"Lord, spare me…"

As soon as he knelt down, the two followers naturally followed suit.

The three kowtowed and admitted their mistakes, begging the young man to forgive them.

Xia Hong didn't even glance at the three, only casting his gaze on Liu Dahu not far away. Seeing him lying motionless on the ground, a gloomy look flashed in his eyes, and he said to Meng Yuan's two followers, "Go bring him here."

"Yes, Lord!"

After experiencing that just now, how could the two dare to have any thoughts of escaping? They dropped their sabers, quickly got up, and obediently ran to bring Liu Dahu over.

Liu Dahu still had the arrow stuck in his back, and he was no longer responsive. He was thrown onto the snow by the two, lying there motionless.

Xia Hong slowly stepped forward, walked to Liu Dahu, and was just about to speak.

At this moment, the already "dead" Liu Dahu suddenly raised his head and pulled out a section of vermilion-colored soft belt from his waist, lashing it suddenly at Xia Hong's neck.

Snap…

The vermilion belt wrapped around Xia Hong's neck directly from right to left.

Although the belt was soft, the moment it touched his neck and received force, it suddenly became incomparably hard, firmly clamping Xia Hong.

"Die! Hahaha!"

Thinking that he had succeeded, Liu Dahu chuckled twice, suddenly exerted force with both hands, and violently pulled back, seemingly trying to twist Xia Hong's neck.

However…

His all-out pull not only failed to move Xia Hong's body in the slightest, but instead made him stagger and fall directly to the ground.

"Did you think that one arrow was all my strength?"

Xia Hong looked at Liu Dahu expressionlessly, his voice full of mockery.

If he hadn't held back with that arrow, how could Liu Dahu's body, with only a mere forty thousand catties of base strength, have survived?

From the moment he lay motionless on the ground, Xia Hong knew he was feigning death.

This man was indeed fierce, knowing that he couldn't escape, he made a desperate gamble.

It's just a pity that he encountered him.

Snap…

As Liu Dahu's hands lost strength, the vermilion soft belt that had just been wrapped around Xia Hong's neck quickly rebounded and loosened, then straightened into a two-meter-long red stick.

"This is the very powerful stick that Zhu Ling mentioned!"

Xia Hong grabbed the stick, and a hint of curiosity immediately rose in his eyes.

Just by holding it in his hand, he knew that the stick was made of wood.

A wooden stick with such high toughness was already impressive, but it was also so sturdy!

The more he looked at this wood, the more familiar it seemed…

Xia Hong's expression suddenly froze.

He remembered, this wood, wasn't it…

"How did you see through me? Just because my strength is stronger than Meng Yuan's?"

Liu Dahu was already in a dying state. He looked at Xia Hong, his eyes filled with undiminished ferocity, but also with a strong sense of bewilderment.

Xia Hong put away the long stick, looked down at him, and a faint glimmer flashed in his left eye.

Unlike others, in his vision, Liu Dahu's face was clearly covered with a layer of vermilion substance, and his true appearance had a clear look of ferocity, rather than the ordinary face at this moment.

"The Eye of Insight can not only see through the flow of qi and blood in the human body, but also identify the true appearance of others. I just don't know if there are other more functions besides these. I can only try them slowly in the future!"

Xia Hong's expression was slightly agitated. He had studied the Yang Mirror for a long time, and finally decided to learn from He Yuanhun and integrate the mirror into his eye.

After the Yang Mirror was integrated into his left eye, his strength did not change, but his eyes gained two special skills: Shattering Divine Light and seeing through the flow of qi and blood in the human body.

No, there should be three now.

It can also see through illusions and the disguises of people!

Xia Hong was also a little interested in this Five Ape Mountain Exchange Meeting. After all, Great Xia was about to expand to this side, and thinking that he could contact the leaders of the eleven camps at once, Xia Hong simply followed along to take a look.

Unexpectedly, this look was actually a bit of a surprise.

In the other ten camps, the leaders were the strongest, and the followers were slightly weaker. Only in this Tongling Camp, the strength of the leader Meng Yuan was actually inferior to that of the followers behind him, not to mention that this follower had made a shocking disguise.

Being so conspicuous, Xia Hong couldn't help but pay attention even if he didn't want to.

After the Exchange Meeting ended, Xia Hong simply followed Meng Yuan for a while, and unexpectedly, this follow-up actually led to a discovery.

This can also be considered an unexpected surprise.

Discovering that Liu Dahu was still waiting for him to solve his doubts, Xia Hong shook his head slightly.

He was not in the mood for that.

Xia Hong bent down, reached out and pinched Liu Dahu's face for a while, and soon tore off a layer of light vermilion mask.

The mask was extremely tightly attached to Liu Dahu's face. After taking it off, his entire person completely changed from appearance to temperament.

Such a magical mask immediately aroused Xia Hong's interest. After looking at the mask for a long time, he immediately placed Liu Dahu's long stick next to the mask.

This comparison made him realize that the materials of the two were actually the same.

"This mask, is it made from this kind of wood?"

"Bah…"

Liu Dahu on the ground, hearing Xia Hong's question, spat fiercely and said fiercely, "Falling into your hands, I admit defeat. Kill me if you want, I won't tell you anything!"

Xia Hong's expression immediately lowered, but he quickly relaxed again, shaking his head and chuckling, "You're quite tough. Wanting to die is not that easy, and you're not qualified to let me kill you. I hope you can be tough for a while longer…"

After saying that, Xia Hong stopped looking at him and turned his gaze to the three on the side.

Noticing Xia Hong's gaze coming over, the three kneeling on the ground began to beg for mercy again.

"Lord, I was blinded by greed. Please spare me, Great Xia wants our Tongling Camp, we all…"

"Shut up, bring him along, all of you follow me!"

Xia Hong directly interrupted Meng Yuan and turned to walk towards Middle Ape Peak.

From Meng Yuan's conversation with Liu Dahu just now, it could be heard that this Tongling camp was likely not a good place either, so he naturally wouldn't give them a pleasant look.

Meng Yuan and the other two stood up, not daring to say anything, and carried the dying Liu Dahu, following behind Xia Hong with apprehension.

… … … … … …

"Dad, let me tell you, the Great Xia camp has so many things! There are wooden beds and chairs cushioned with beast绒, jewelry made from beast teeth, forging workshops dedicated to making tools and weapons, and everyone has clothes to wear. There's so much beast meat that they can't finish it all, so much, so much… … … …"

"Great Xia implements a contribution point system. Even children under the age of six who haven't reached the Lumbering Realm receive a fixed allocation of beast meat every month. Once they reach the Lumbering Realm, they have to earn contribution points themselves."

"The things Xiaoyu mentioned just now can all be exchanged for contribution points, and the price is very low. Almost everyone can exchange for the beast meat needed for cultivation… …"

… … … … … …

Not far from Middle Ape Peak, Xia Chuan led a group of people forward slowly. The crowd was unusually quiet, so the voices of the Xiao Ning sisters were very clear, and everyone could hear them.

Hearing the sisters' praise for the camp, the Great Xia people naturally felt honored, and their faces showed pride.

As for Xiao Kangcheng, the expression on his face was even more wonderful, from initial shock to later numbness, and finally even some disbelief.

The things the two daughters said about Great Xia were too shocking for him. Although he trusted his daughters very much, he couldn't help but turn his head to look at Xiao Yuan to verify it with him.

Seeing Xiao Yuan nod slightly, Xiao Kangcheng, after receiving confirmation, immediately fell silent and completely believed what his two daughters said.

"Father, time is of the essence, let's join as soon as possible!"

"Big sister is right, Father. The sooner we join, the sooner our people will live comfortably. We can't delay."

Although the voices of the two daughters were very eager, Xiao Kangcheng looked up at Xia Chuan in front of him and remained silent without answering.

The Xiao Ning sisters exchanged a look, somewhat puzzled by their father's reaction.

They both knew that their father was not averse to joining Great Xia, otherwise he wouldn't have sent Uncle Yuan and them to take a look.

What other concerns were there?

Xiao Ning pondered for a moment, looked at the Great Xia group not far ahead, turned to look at her father, and said softly, "Father, do you know why Big Brother Xia Chuan brought so many people here tonight?"

Xiao Kangcheng was stunned.

What else could it be for? Wasn't it to deter their eleven camps?

Xiao Ning also guessed what her father was thinking, and she shook her head and said, "Deterrence is only secondary, and there's no need to bring so many people to deter them. Even half would be enough… …"

Speaking of this, Xiao Ning paused for a moment and continued, "Tonight, the most important purpose of Big Brother Xia Chuan bringing so many people is to move all the people from the Three Tigers Camp to Great Xia."

Xiao Kangcheng instantly understood why his daughter said this.

"Father, there are a total of eleven camps in Five Ape Mountain. Our Xiaohe camp is not strong. There is a difference between going early and going late. If we don't seize the opportunity, it will be inevitable to be… … … …"

…be neglected if we go later!

Xiao Kangcheng was already old, and he naturally understood what his daughter meant.

But he obviously had concerns in his heart and was unwilling to let go.

The Xiao Ning and Xiao Yu sisters didn't know why, so they could only cast a pleading look at Xiao Yuan, hoping he could help persuade their father.

However, Xiao Yuan seemed to know something, shrugged his shoulders and didn't speak.

"What's wrong, Leader Xiao, do you still have any concerns?"

The Xiao Ning and Xiao Yu sisters turned their heads when they heard the voice and realized that Xia Chuan in front had already brought a few people to the side of their six.

They didn't hide what they were saying just now, so it was normal for Xia Chuan to hear it.

When Xiao Kangcheng heard this, a bitter smile appeared on his face, and he cupped his hands and said, "Lord Xia Chuan has misunderstood. Great Xia's conditions are so generous, what concerns could I possibly have? It's just that… …"

Speaking of this, he paused and continued:

"Can the Lord agree to one condition of mine? As long as you agree, Xiao will go back now and have the camp start packing. Tonight, we will go to the Great Xia camp with you all to settle down, how about that?"

Xia Chuan laughed heartily and said, "Leader Xiao, speak your mind. Any request, as long as I can make the decision, I will definitely agree!"

With his understanding of Xiao Kangcheng, the other party would not make any excessive demands.

When Xiao Kangcheng heard this, a smile immediately appeared on his face, and he pointed to his eldest daughter Xiao Ning, cupped his hands and said:

"Since Lord Xia Chuan came to the camp last time, this daughter of mine has been absent-minded. After going to the Great Xia camp this time, she has changed even more. Xiao is shamelessly asking Lord Xia Chuan for a marriage for my daughter. I only have this one request. Lord Xia Chuan just said that as long as you can make the decision, you will definitely agree. You can't go back on your word!"

As soon as Xiao Kangcheng finished speaking, Xia Chuan was instantly stunned.

Not only Xia Chuan, but everyone in Great Xia was also stunned.

Immediately afterwards, there was a burst of laughter.

"Secretary, this is a marriage proposal to you, hahaha!"

"Hahahaha, Leader Xiao is doing a great job!"

"Hehehe, Secretary, a wife is being delivered to your door."

… … … …

Yuwen Tao, Qiu Peng, and the Great Xia people, after reacting, all watched the fun and made fun of him, laughing their heads off.

"Father, what nonsense are you talking about? I'm never going to talk to you again!"

As the person involved, Xiao Ning's face was already flushed at this moment.

Obviously, she didn't expect her father Xiao Kangcheng to say such a thing, and she stomped her feet repeatedly in anger, scolding her father for talking nonsense.

However, while scolding, she also inadvertently glanced at Xia Chuan out of the corner of her eye, and there was obviously a hint of expectation in the depths of her eyes.

The younger sister Xiao Yu next to her couldn't help but chuckle as she watched her elder sister reveal her shyness, but there was also a hint of complexity in her pupils, not knowing what she was thinking.

"This… …"

Xia Chuan paused in place for a long time and couldn't say anything. He had the final say in Great Xia, but he really didn't have any experience in this kind of thing. Although he wasn't blushing, he didn't know what to say.

Refusing would be unkind, and he did have a good impression of Xiao Ning.

But agreeing directly… … … …

He suddenly thought of something, his eyes lit up, and he said with a smile:

"Leader Xiao, I'm afraid I really can't make the decision on this request. Although my parents are no longer here, my eldest brother… … … …"

"I agree!"

Before Xia Chuan could finish his perfect reason, a clear voice came from the back of the crowd.

The moment the Great Xia people heard the voice, their expressions all shook.

Clang… … … …

The joking atmosphere just now instantly became solemn.

Everyone turned their heads to look behind them, bowed to the person who came, with respectful expressions and extremely neat voices:

"Greetings, Leader!"

The sudden change of more than a hundred people in Great Xia made the six of Xiao Kangcheng a little dazed. Hearing the four words shouted loudly by the crowd, their expressions suddenly froze.

Although they were extremely curious in their hearts, the six were infected by this atmosphere and couldn't help but lower their heads along with the Great Xia people and bowed respectfully to the person who came.

"Big brother… …"

As Xia Chuan opened his mouth somewhat uneasily, everyone raised their heads one after another.

The six of Xiao Kangcheng, who raised their heads along with the crowd, finally saw the appearance of the person who came from behind at this time.

At this sight, the expressions of the six slightly froze, and their faces were full of surprise.

Whether it was the three of Xiao Yuan, Xiao Ning, and Xiao Yu who had been to Great Xia, or the three of Xiao Kangcheng, Lu Shun, and Xiao Ping who had not been there, although they had never seen Xia Hong, they had many conjectures in their hearts.

To develop Great Xia to such a powerful level, to make Xia Chuan, Yuwen Tao, and the more than a hundred Earth Digging Realm powerhouses in front of them so respectful, and to make the thousands of people in the Great Xia camp regard him as a god.

No matter what kind of demeanor such a person has, it would not be an exaggeration.

The only thing they didn't expect was that Xia Hong was so young!

Looking at this, it seems that he is not even twenty years old?

Especially since the two brothers look a bit alike, because Xia Hong's skin is too delicate and still has a luster, he looks obviously much younger.

Isn't he Xia Chuan's older brother?

Why does he look a little younger than Xia Chuan?

There is only one explanation, and that is that Xia Hong's cultivation realm is too high.

So high that they can't even see his age.

"Big brother, I this… … … …"

Xia Chuan opened his mouth uneasily again, and everyone came back to their senses, thinking that Xia Hong had just said that he agreed, and they all chuckled in a low voice.

Xiao Ning's face was naturally even more rosy, and she nervously grabbed her sleeves with both hands.

Xiao Kangcheng's expression was extremely excited. With Xia Hong's opening, this marriage was basically a sure thing.

"What, you don't want to?"

Hearing Xia Hong's question, Xia Chuan subconsciously turned his head to look at Xiao Ning, and stammered without saying a word.

Seeing this reaction, a smile appeared on Xia Hong's face. He had already seen it when Xiao Ning came to the camp before. His younger brother should be interested in these two girls, otherwise, he would not have rashly made this decision.

Xia Hong's gaze turned to Xiao Yu beside Xiao Ning, his expression moved, and he said to Xiao Kangcheng, "One is not enough. I think it's better to let Xiao Yu marry my younger brother together. Leader Xiao, what do you think?"

Xiao Kangcheng's expression froze, he turned his head to look at his second daughter Xiao Yu, and saw that Xiao Yu's face was flushed, but she didn't say a word, and his heart suddenly went cold.

Good fellow, even the second one has been hooked away by this Xia Chuan.

"This, Leader has good eyes!"

Xia Hong smiled slightly at Xiao Kangcheng's address.

The people of Great Xia, watching Xia Chuan's increasingly awkward expression, couldn't help but laugh and started to jeer.

"The Sicheng is indeed the Sicheng, marrying two wives at once."

"The lord is capable, otherwise, could he do this?"

"Hahahaha, the lord is mighty!"

… … … …

"Go, go, go, all of you shut up."

Xia Chuan couldn't help but laugh and scold, then turned to nod slightly to the Xiao Ning and Xiao Yu sisters, a strange feeling rising in his heart.

"Who's there!"

"Chief, someone's coming."

… … … …

"Don't be nervous!"

Just then, Meng Yuan and the other two arrived, carrying Liu Dahu.

Waving his hand to signal everyone not to be nervous, when Meng Yuan and the others approached, everyone was stunned.

The Mutual Exchange Conference had just ended, and many people still remembered Meng Yuan.

"Chief Meng, why is it you? Didn't you…"

Not to mention Xiao Kangcheng, he directly shouted, but seeing Meng Yuan's face full of fear and panic, he realized something and immediately stopped talking.

"Liu Dahu?"

It was Yuwen Tao who, at this moment, glanced at the person being carried by the three and immediately recognized him with a sharp glint in his eyes.

"It is indeed Liu Dahu."

"He was caught by the chief."

"He's seriously injured and seems to still have a breath left."

… … … …

Hong Tian, Zhu Ling, Zhu Yuan, and more than thirty others who had attacked the Three Tigers Camp with Yuwen Tao also recognized Liu Dahu.

Xia Hong didn't explain much, looking at Xia Chuan and saying, "This Tongling Camp is colluding with the Liu Dahu brothers. These three are not good people and should have done a lot of dirty things before. You divide a group of people and go to Tongling Camp tonight to investigate. Don't keep the ones with problems. As for the others, as long as the situation is normal, bring them back if you can."

"Yes, Chief!"

Xia Chuan's expression was excited. Tonight was originally going to be about relocating the people of the Three Tigers Camp. Just now, Xiao Kangcheng had agreed to immediately bring the people from the Xiaohe Camp over. Now, there's another Tongling Camp, which can be described as triple happiness.

However, there's more than that.

Xia Hong threw the wooden stick and mask to Xia Chuan, pointing to Liu Dahu and saying, "These two things should be useful to you. They were obtained from him. Take them back and interrogate him to find out where the things came from."

Xia Chuan took the items, examined and touched them for a while, and his expression suddenly became serious.

"Understood, Chief!"

"Alright, you guys go ahead and get busy. I still have something to do and need to go to another place."

"Respectfully seeing off the Chief!"

Everyone bowed, and when they looked up again, Xia Hong had already disappeared.

Only Meng Yuan and the other two, with anxious expressions, were still standing there carrying Liu Dahu.

"Yuwen Sizheng, you take half the people to relocate the Three Tigers people first. I'll take the other half and rush to the Tongling Camp now, striving to finish things there tonight and bring the people over together, saving us from running back and forth later."

Yuwen Tao nodded, quickly divided half the people, and led them towards the location of the Zhongyuan Peak Three Tigers Camp.

"Chief Xiao, you go back now and notify people to pack up. Yuwen Sizheng will pass through Yiyuan Peak when relocating later. At that time, your people will directly join the team and return to the Great Xia garrison together with them."

Xiao Kangcheng nodded, took Xiao Yuan and the other five, and left.

In the end, only Xia Chuan was left with the remaining half of the people, staying in place.

"You three, lead the way!"

Xia Chuan was not so polite to Meng Yuan.

Just now, Big Brother Xia Hong had made it very clear that the Tongling Camp was colluding with the Liu Dahu brothers. These three were captured by Xia Hong together with Liu Dahu, and their anxious and uneasy expressions throughout showed that there were obvious problems.

Moreover, Xia Hong had just directly said that these three were not good people.

"There should still be a lot of dirt within this Tongling Camp. I have to think of a way to investigate it properly and not let problematic people enter Great Xia!"

Xia Chuan thought to himself while walking, considering what method to use to investigate the Tongling Camp, so as to screen everyone.
