Endless Winter: My Camp Upgrades Infinitely
#21 - Great harvest
This snow mane was actually being extremely cautious.
When dealing with frost wolves, even when suffering severe injuries, it didn't use its tongue.
Clearly, these cold beasts that had spent years in the jungle had extremely rich combat experience, they knew to keep their trump cards hidden, and would never use them unless it was a matter of life and death.
It was just a pity that Xia Hong was already planning with intent against the unintentional.
Guiding the snow mane towards the big tree was to make its tongue pass through the tree, affecting its movements, and then attacking its biggest weakness.
That's right, Xia Hong's initial target was the tongue.
He had witnessed the entire hunting process at the Great Stone Camp last time.
Even a large blade couldn't break through the snow mane's outer skin, let alone the stone axe in his hand.
Frost wolves could still use their sharp claws to tear open the snow mane's abdomen and use their teeth to tear open the snow mane's leg muscles, Xia Hong naturally wouldn't be naive enough to think that he could do the same.
The tongue was almost the only point that could injure it, and was considered fatal.
In addition, his strength had also increased to 6,400 pounds during this time.
Therefore, Xia Hong gambled this time.
Facts proved that he gambled correctly.
Although cold beasts are strong, they are not invincible.
Having been entangled by Xia Hong in front and having its left hind leg injured by Xia Chuan and Yuan Cheng's frantic hacking with stone axes, even though the snow mane's will to survive was strong, it still fell with regret in the end.
The giant creature weighing over a thousand pounds collapsed with a bang, and Xia Hong and the other two were also almost exhausted.
However, the faces of the three of them all revealed a sense of pleasure and joy at the same time.
"This… must weigh more than a thousand pounds, right?"
"At least fourteen hundred, probably more."
"Yue Feng and the other five should be able to break through."
"Hurry up and carry it, let's rush back to the camp first."
Xia Hong was not overwhelmed by joy, after getting up, he immediately extinguished the burning torch, let the two carry the snow mane's corpse, and quickly returned to the camp with the two.
Such a large prey, whether it attracted other cold beasts or other humans, would be fatal to the three who were almost exhausted at this moment.
Fortunately, the journey was full of surprises but without any real danger, and the three finally returned to the camp.
After matching the password, the entrance opened, and after putting the snow mane on the ground, looking at the prey by the light of the cave's bonfire, Xia Hong's mood finally calmed down, and a relaxed smile appeared on his face.
"This… another one brought back."
"Chief, are you so strong?"
"When the former chief was here, we had never seen such a big cold beast."
"This must weigh more than a thousand pounds!"
… … … …
Whether it was Yue Feng and the other five, or the dozen or so peers, or even everyone else in the camp, they had all gathered next to Xia Hong and the other two at this moment.
Looking at the snow mane's huge body on the ground, sharp fangs, and sharp claws, after whispering to each other for a while, everyone unanimously showed Xia Hong and the other two respect, and even fanatical eyes.
Xia Hong was no stranger to this kind of gaze, as he brought resources back to the camp again and again, this kind of gaze became more and more frequent.
Xia Hong didn't really care about respect and fanaticism, any creature would develop this kind of emotion when they saw other creatures stronger than themselves.
What Xia Hong cared more about was something deeper in everyone's eyes:
Hope.
When people have hope, they will have motivation and courage.
Xia Hong discovered this when he first transmigrated.
The people in the camp generally lacked hope.
Even when Xia Ding was here, there were enough crystal fruits in the camp, and there was no problem with heating, but you just couldn't see a trace of hope on these people's faces.
In fact, it's easy to understand, crystal fruits fill the stomach and heating keeps out the cold, what these two can do is only maintain life, so that people don't starve to death or freeze to death.
But the reason why human beings are human beings is definitely not just living for the sake of living.
These people have been hiding in the shadows since they were born, the outside world, cold beasts, monsters, and even sunlight, are deadly threats to them.
A sense of security and dignity are what they lack the most.
And both of these things need strong strength as support.
Cold beast flesh and blood is their only hope to become stronger.
Before, when Xia Ding was here, the frequency of the Great Xia Camp obtaining cold beast flesh and blood was too low, so too few people could be allocated cold beast flesh and blood.
But now, it has only been more than two months since Xia Hong took over as the chief, and he has brought back two snow manes, which undoubtedly gave everyone a great boost.
Maybe it's not my turn now, but as the logging team is reorganized and the number of people increases, more and more prey will be brought back, and one day, it will be my turn.
This is the reason why everyone looks at Xia Hong with respectful and fanatical eyes.
Because Xia Hong gave them the most precious thing, hope.
"After skinning and deboning, it's a total of one thousand two hundred and seventy pounds."
The excitement of the crowd reached a new climax as the weight of the cold beast flesh and blood was weighed.
Everyone stared at Xia Hong, waiting for his distribution.
Most people actually knew that they wouldn't get a share.
But they just wanted to see how Xia Hong would distribute it.
Xia Hong had already prepared a draft on how to deal with this snow mane.
Seeing everyone looking at him, he directly opened his mouth:
"From now on, all the cold beast meat in the camp will be divided according to the ratio of three, five, and two.
Those who go out hunting account for 30%; the logging team reserves, that is, Yue Feng and the other five account for 50%; the remaining 20%, as long as the age is between fifteen and twenty-two, and the basic strength reaches more than a thousand pounds, can all be divided.
In addition, regardless of men, women, old or young, anyone whose strength exceeds two thousand pounds can enter the logging team reserves.
Moreover, in the future, the odd numbers will be taken out, for example, this time it is one thousand two hundred and seventy pounds, then take out seventy pounds and distribute it to everyone in the camp, as a treat."
Hearing the ratio of three, five, and two, everyone in the camp was already shocked.
Those who went out hunting only accounted for 30%?
And when they heard the last sentence, regardless of men, women, old or young, anyone whose strength exceeded two thousand pounds could enter the logging team reserves and share the 50%, they immediately fell into silence.
Even at the end, they took out the odd number of seventy pounds and distributed it to everyone in the camp.
Those who originally thought they wouldn't get a share all raised their heads and stared at Xia Hong.
"Then can we join the logging team in the future?"
"Can women do it too?"
"Did I hear it right?"
"Do we have a share too?"
Several voices rang out in the crowd, everyone looked at Xia Hong in disbelief, and when they saw him nod, confirming that they had not heard wrong, smiles appeared on everyone's faces, and some people even cried with joy.
"Chief is mighty!"
Someone was the first to shout these four words.
After that, the crowd followed him and erupted into a burst of enthusiastic cheers.
"Chief is mighty… Chief is mighty… Chief is mighty…"
Everyone fell into madness, and some even knelt down and worshiped Xia Hong directly.
Whether it was those who were cheering or those who were kneeling down and worshiping him, Xia Hong did not stop them, he understood these people, and he understood their behavior.
When Xia Ding was here, only the logging team and their direct descendants could get the cold beast meat from the Great Xia Camp, and no one else could even think about it.
This was not because Xia Ding was short-sighted, he also knew that the more logging team combat power there was, the stronger the camp's strength would be, so that they could obtain more resources, therefore, allowing more people to cultivate and break through would maximize the benefits.
Xia Ding also understood this principle, but the problem was, he couldn't do it.
Because without hunting ability, the way to obtain cold beast meat was, to put it nicely, called luck, and to put it bluntly, it was picking up scraps.
In the case of resource shortage, the logging team had to be given priority.
But now it's different.
Xia Hong's face was full of excitement, the biggest gain from tonight's hunt was not this snow mane weighing more than a thousand pounds.
The biggest gain was that he verified that hunting with small torches was feasible.
Although there were many lucky elements, it was indeed feasible.
Before his strength was not enough to directly face low-level cold beasts, having such a hunting method that had been verified to be successful was self-evident.
This means that around Redwood Ridge, the only one that can hunt now is not just Rogue Camp.
Great Xia, can do it too!
