Endless Winter: My Camp Upgrades Infinitely

Crack… … … … …

Deep in Redwood Ridge, a mid-level Snowmane, with iron arrows piercing its eyes, was fleeing north in a panic. It was already blind and could only blindly crash around based on its senses.

The Snowmane's right hind leg was dragging a hunting trap. The flesh in the trapped area had already split open, constantly oozing bright red blood.

Due to the leg injury, its speed was far from its normal state, but its massive body, coupled with a strong desire to survive, still allowed it to unleash a considerable impact force.

In less than a hundred meters, it had already knocked askew three or four giant trees.

"Zhao Long and the others, long-range shots! Xia Chuan, release the restraining lines! Yuan Cheng and Yue Feng, continue laying hunting traps ahead! Luo Yuan and everyone else, pull the ropes and control the direction of this beast's escape!"

Accompanied by Xia Hong's voice echoing from behind, several white lines suddenly attacked from the Snowmane's side; two figures suddenly accelerated, running from both sides to dozens of meters ahead of the Snowmane, then quickly threw four more hunting traps onto the ground, each with a rope tied to one end.

Three waves of dozens of arrows shot from behind, all accurately hitting the Snowmane's abdomen and the area where the hunting trap was dragging on its leg.

When its abdomen was hit, the Snowmane didn't react much because the wounds weren't deep.

But when the injured area on its leg was hit, it couldn't hold on any longer. With each arrow, it would let out a muffled groan, and its escape speed would slow down a bit. Clearly, the added injuries were causing it unbearable pain.

As its movements slowed, a group of eight people chased up from behind, each holding a rope. The end of the rope was tied to the hunting trap dragging on the Snowmane's right hind leg.

"Almost there, pull!"

Xia Hong shouted again, and the eight people behind Luo Yuan gritted their teeth, found the nearest large tree, quickly wrapped the rope around the tree several times, then stood firmly behind the tree, gripping the rope tightly.

Luo Yuan and the others stopped, but the Snowmane didn't. The rope connected to the hunting trap on its leg quickly tightened in mid-air.

Crack… … … …

The rope snapped taut, making a loud whip-like sound. Although the Snowmane's sprinting body didn't stop directly, its right leg staggered violently, and its body shifted slightly to the left.

Click… … … …

It was this slight shift that caused the Snowmane's left foreleg to step right onto one of the four hunting traps that Yue Feng and Yuan Cheng had laid earlier.

The hunting trap, more than half a meter in diameter, suddenly closed and tightened, crushing the Snowmane's left foreleg bone with a loud cracking sound.

"Roar… … … …"

The Snowmane, in pain, became even more frenzied, and the power unleashed from its body was even stronger than before.

Snap… … … …

The eight people pulling the rope, despite having tried their best, still couldn't hold back the completely crazed Snowmane. They couldn't even hold on for two breaths before being pulled off their feet, and the rope, along with the tree more than ten meters in diameter, was snapped off.

If the eight people hadn't reacted quickly and released the rope in time, they would have been dragged dozens of meters by the Snowmane and crashed into the trees in the middle, possibly suffering serious injuries.

Pfft… … … …

The Snowmane's left foreleg and right hind leg were both caught in hunting traps. The power unleashed by its strong desire to survive only lasted for a while. After running north for more than a hundred meters, its speed visibly slowed down.

At the same time, Xia Hong, who had been following along in the trees and had run ahead of the Snowmane, waited for the right moment and finally made his move!

Bang… … … …

Xia Hong raised his hands high above his head, the double-edged great axe hanging behind him. He jumped down from a tree more than twenty meters high, and with a sudden force, the great axe swung in a semicircle from back to front, suddenly chopping down on the Snowmane's head as it arrived under the tree.

The axe blade split open the skull, and the sound should have been a crack, but Xia Hong's axe actually made a bang sound.

It was like a thunderclap on flat ground, echoing within a radius of two to three hundred meters around.

Xia Hong's base strength was already as high as 32,000 pounds, and the Long Fist's force-generating technique could stack an additional 20%, plus the acceleration generated by falling from a high altitude.

The force exerted by this axe was at least 40,000 pounds.

This axe shattered the Snowmane's skull in a destructive manner. The 75-centimeter radius fan-shaped axe blade was completely embedded in its head, leaving only the other side exposed.

Boom… … … …

The Snowmane's head slammed into the ground with a boom. The terrifying potential energy brought about by the powerful force directly created a circular shockwave on the ground, sending the snow within a radius of more than ten meters flying high.

"Roar… … … …"

The Snowmane, whose skull had almost been split in two, had not completely lost its ferocity. It lay prostrate on the ground, letting out a hoarse roar, its blood-colored pupils slightly raised, squinting at Xia Hong above, suddenly contracting.

"Everyone, gather around, quick!"

Noticing this scene, Xia Hong shouted loudly to the crowd.

Xia Chuan, Luo Yuan, and the others, including the Zhao Long brothers who were shooting arrows at the rear, moved upon hearing the sound and quickly ran towards the Snowmane.

The fourteen people all gathered around the Snowmane in less than three breaths, and then they all crawled under the Snowmane's body; Xia Hong, who had reminded them first, had already crawled under the Snowmane's chin.

Swish… … swish… … swish… …

The Snowmane's back was covered with barbs, which, as before, shot out indiscriminately in all directions. From the dozen or so trees around that were riddled with holes, it could be seen how powerful these barbs were.

Unfortunately, Xia Hong and the fourteen members of the hunting team were all hiding under its abdomen at this moment. No matter how strong the barbs on its back were, it was impossible for them to turn around and shoot at that location.

"Hahahaha, this Snowmane probably never imagined that we could use its body to break its final trick… …"

After three or four breaths, as the barbs on its back were all shot out, Yuan Cheng was the first to laugh loudly as the Snowmane whimpered and fell to the ground, unable to get up. His laughter was full of excitement and pride.

Although the others didn't speak, they all had some excitement on their faces as they looked at the huge prey on the ground.

However, in the end, seeing the double-edged great axe still stuck in the Snowmane's skull, everyone turned their attention to Xia Hong at the front, their faces full of reverence.

"Is the mid-level Frost Beast blood so strong? The leader has only used it once, but the change in strength is so great. No, I have to quickly improve to the 30,000-pound limit… … … …"

At this moment, Xia Chuan, Luo Yuan, and everyone else had this thought in their minds.

Xia Hong's change was too great.

Everyone still remembered when they hunted the mid-level Snowmane before, Xia Hong had to use that long ceremonial knife to injure the Snowmane's skull in the face or eyes. Only a few days had passed, and he was already able to use a great axe to directly chop open the Snowmane's skull.

Crack… … … …

Xia Hong naturally didn't know what everyone was thinking. He pulled out the double-edged great axe from the Snowmane's head, and a few traces of excitement appeared on his face.

In just over three hours, a mid-level Snowmane had already been obtained.

Tonight's hunting process was much smoother than expected!

The Snowmane's hide and skull strength should both be around 40,000 pounds.

No wonder when he saw Yuwen Tao fighting the Demon Sheep last time, he could leave so many wounds on its body with a broadsword.

The reason why this hunt was so smooth was that the biggest factor was the improvement of his own strength, but it was also due to the familiarity with the mid-level Snowmane and the tacit cooperation of the hunting team.

"As long as you hide under the Snowmane's abdomen, its barb trick is basically useless, but the only thing to pay attention to with this method is that you must seize the gap when it runs out of strength before it dies. If you crawl under its abdomen in advance, then it's not hiding from the barbs, but courting death!"

Last time, Zhu Shun and Zou Yuankai were seriously injured, and Xia Hong was thinking about how to avoid the Snowmane's backstab trick. After thinking about it, he could only come up with this method.

Judging from the speed and power of the barbs shot out from the Snowmane's back, and the range that could be reached in the end, running to the periphery was definitely a way to die, and lying on the ground was also a method, but it still couldn't be avoided 100%.

The first Snowmane they hunted, when it shot out the barbs before it died, Xia Hong led everyone to jump down from the tree and then lie on the ground to avoid them.

But in the end, Zou Yuankai and Zhu Shun were still shot.

There was not enough time to escape, and lying on the ground could not be avoided 100%.

Then there was only one way: get close to it.

The first attempt tonight has already proven that this method can work for now, but the timing requires very high precision.

"Alright, that's it for tonight."

"It's over? Leader, we can continue!"

"We didn't suffer any injuries, we can completely continue, leader, take us to hunt another one back?"

"The arrows are also sufficient, the weapons are also intact, and it's only been more than three hours, there's no need to go back so early, leader, continue!"

"That's right, it's still early, leader."

Hearing Xia Hong announce the end of the hunt, everyone immediately spoke up to dissuade him.

Xia Chuan was the last to speak in a deep voice, saying: "Leader, didn't you say that breaking through the Cold Resistance level requires a lot of Frost Beast blood? This is only one, we still have the strength to spare, let's hide this prey first and continue, right?"

Seeing everyone nodding heavily when they heard Xia Chuan's words.

A warm current immediately flowed through Xia Hong's heart.

Obviously, Xia Chuan's last words were their true thoughts.

"Okay, then let's continue, but we can only look for Snowmanes, other mid-level Frost Beasts are not considered for now."

Xia Hong only pondered for a moment before agreeing to everyone's proposal, but he still made strict restrictions on the choice of prey, only looking for mid-level Snowmanes.

Everyone nodded and immediately divided the work, working together to lift the huge Snowmane on the ground and put it on top of a large tree, and specially posed it in a resting posture.

After everyone had packed up and marked the prey, Xia Hong led the team to continue searching north.

"The depth here should be 1300 meters. We've searched almost everywhere from south to north. Besides the Tengjiao, we haven't seen any other prey. Let's go a little further in!"

Everyone nodded. Although it was the first time hunting that intermediate Snow Mane, and they had accidentally ventured within four kilometers of Redwood Ridge, the feeling of being watched by a powerful cold beast was indeed uncomfortable and extremely dangerous.

Before their strength was sufficient, the search range had to be strictly controlled.

"Let's go in another 200 meters and see if there are any new discoveries!"

"Hey, look over there..."

Just as Xia Hong made the decision to go another 200 meters, Zhao Long in the crowd exclaimed, raising his hand and pointing north, signaling everyone to look quickly.

Everyone looked in the direction he was pointing, and they were all stunned.

Although no one had lit a fire, because the ground and trees in Redwood Ridge were covered in snow, the dense forest was not pitch black, but presented a bleak grayish-white color.

In this myriad of grayish-white, more than a hundred meters away to the north, a thick Ice Shuo tree was emitting a faint golden light.

Not only that, but the sky directly above the Ice Shuo tree was also streaked with lightning from time to time. The lightning evolved into thunder and struck straight down, the point of impact being right around the ground surrounding the Ice Shuo tree.

"That Ice Shuo tree, isn't that the one we encountered when we came here last time?"

Xia Hong prompted, and everyone immediately remembered.

"That's right, it's that one. I remember that Ice Shuo tree was very large, and the ground around it was fluid, like a golden swamp."

"I remember too. The crystal fruit on that Ice Shuo tree must have weighed ten or twenty thousand pounds. The leader even tried to dig at the ground at the time, and found that he couldn't dig it up."

"Let's go take a look!"

Hearing everyone's words, Xia Hong also confirmed that it was the giant Ice Shuo tree they had discovered last time. Without hesitation, he led everyone over.

Boom, crack...…

As the distance got closer, the sound of the thunder became clearer and clearer.

Everyone, including Xia Hong, felt a slight palpitation.

This had nothing to do with courage. People naturally had an awe in their hearts for natural phenomena such as thunder and lightning, especially when they were only a few dozen meters away.

"Let's get up the tree first and see what's going on!"

When they were less than forty meters away from the Ice Shuo tree, Xia Hong felt something was wrong, stopped, and then beckoned everyone to follow him and climb a nearby tree.

At the top of the tree, about fifty or sixty meters high, Xia Hong, who was the first to climb up, looked up at the side of the Ice Shuo tree, and was immediately stunned.

The people who climbed up later were the same as him. After looking up and looking into the distance, their expressions were all dazed.

In the swamp next to the Ice Shuo tree, there was a huge cold beast, about ten meters long and resembling a rhinoceros.

The cold beast's body surface was light golden, its two huge eyes were like lanterns, and it had a three-meter-long, dark black, upturned horn on its head.

Although its limbs were in a lying position, it was possible to visually estimate that the diameter was more than one meter, thick and incomparable, with knotted muscles. Even just looking with the eyes, one could feel the terrifying power contained within.

The lightning in the sky above the Ice Shuo tree was not falling on the swamp at all, but on the horn on the cold beast's head.

Crack...…

Each time a thunderbolt fell, a flash of lightning arc would streak across the cold beast's horn. The arc spread backward from the tip, flowing through all the skin on its body.

Its skin was already light golden, and as the arc flowed through it, the color became more textured and the color became deeper and deeper, obviously evolving towards a pure golden color.

The latest and most complete novels are on Liu 9 Shu Ba!

"Golden Armor Kui Ox?"

"Golden Armor Kui Ox?"

Seeing the appearance of the cold beast, several exclamations were immediately made by the hunting team. Obviously, they all recognized the appearance of the cold beast.

"Low-level Kui Ox have yellowish bodies and are not that big. This should be an intermediate Kui Ox. I didn't expect that we haven't hunted a low-level Kui Ox yet, but we encountered an intermediate one first."

Xia Chuan took out a roll of animal skin from his arms. The words "Great Xia Cold Beast Records" were engraved on the cover of the book. He turned to the page of the Golden Armor Kui Ox and compared it with the cold beast in front of him, and immediately made a judgment.

The Great Xia Cold Beast Records were compiled based on the cold beast scrolls left by Luo Ming. At present, the total number of cold beast species recorded is actually not many. There are only seven types in total: Bone Thorn Frost Wolf, Long Tongue Snow Mane, Golden Eye Demon Sheep, Blue Moon Elf, Cloud Mist Tengjiao, Golden Armor Thunder Kui, and Long Tail Gnawing Rat.

These seven types of cold beasts must all have intermediate forms, but the only ones that Great Xia has successfully hunted are the intermediate Snow Mane; they have dealt with the intermediate Gnawing Rat, and they have also seen the intermediate Tengjiao and Demon Sheep with their own eyes;

Only this Kui Ox, the low-level one has not been successfully hunted yet.

The intermediate one, today is also the first time to see it.

Xia Chuan is very strict with the compilation of the Cold Beast Records. Only after successfully hunting and accurately understanding the weaknesses and habits of the cold beast will he add it, so as of now, the Great Xia Cold Beast Records only record these seven types, and with the addition of the intermediate Snow Mane, there are only eight types.

"Want to give it a try?"

"I think we can. The Kui Ox's skin looks very strong, and it can even withstand thunder. It looks like it's a defensive cold beast, and its attack power may not be strong."

"That light golden beast skin can probably be used as armor. We just happen to be short of armor, so we can try."

"I also think we should try!"

"What kind of pipe dreams are you having? You haven't even hunted a low-level Kui Ox, and you're already thinking about the intermediate one. Wake up a bit, let's go, let's continue looking for Snow Mane. We'll talk about this Kui Ox in a while!"

Xia Hong interrupted everyone's instigation and immediately shook his head.

This is called, the weaker you are, the more ignorant you are. Even hunting the intermediate Snow Mane, he is now afraid to ensure a 100% success rate, let alone this Kui Ox that can attract thunder.

This Kui Ox is obviously using thunder to temper its body.

This scene also proves that its strength is definitely above the Snow Mane.

Not only that, attracting thunder to temper the body, it is estimated that even the Demon Sheep is not as good as it.

These people of theirs, they don't even know what the situation is with the low-level Thunder Kui, and they are attacking the intermediate one, which is obviously a dead end.

It seems that the hunting during this period has been too smooth, and the group of people in the hunting team have begun to get a little carried away!

Xia Hong glanced at the Thunder Kui and frowned slightly.

The swamp next to the tree is probably the Thunder Kui's habitat. The reason why it appears as a golden fluid should be because the Thunder Kui has been entrenched there for a long time.

When he came here last time, he dug at the ground of the swamp. You must know that his basic strength at that time had reached the limit of 30,000 pounds, but at that time, no matter how hard he tried, the ground was always in a motionless state,

And this Thunder Kui, not only can move freely in the golden swamp, but even completely bury its body in it.

Just from this point, it can be seen that the strength of this Thunder Kui is not simple.

"When you go out hunting by yourselves later, first hunt a few low-level ones, figure out the habits and methods of the Thunder Kui, tell me, and I'll consider it!"

Although Xia Chuan and others were a little disappointed, they also knew that Xia Hong's method was more stable, and they all nodded.

The cold beast density of Redwood Ridge is indeed very high.

Xia Hong led the team two hundred meters further in, and in less than an hour, they discovered another intermediate Snow Mane.

This is still in the case of specifically looking for Snow Mane. If there are enough hunting options, Tengjiao, Thunder Kui, Frost Wolf, there are really a lot of intermediate cold beasts within a 1,500-meter range.

The first time you're unfamiliar, the second time you're familiar, and the third time, you're already on familiar ground.

Fourteen 10,000-pound iron tire bows, five animal traps, Xia Chuan's white line, plus the double-edged giant axe in Xia Hong's hand, and the tacit cooperation of everyone.

This Snow Mane only lasted for more than an hour before falling down in hatred.

With two intermediate Snow Mane in hand, more than six hours had passed. Although only a small part of the night had passed, everyone's bodies were almost at their limit.

Successfully harvesting two intermediate prey in one night, whether it was Xia Hong or the others, they were already satisfied.

Returning to the location of the first prey, a group of people happily took the two prey and went directly back to the valley camp.

Once back at the camp, without Xia Hong's instructions, Xia Chuan immediately ordered the people from the camp to start bleeding the two Snow Mane.

Xia Hong only waited in the room for a few minutes, and a large basin of cold beast blood was brought in by Shi Ping and several others.

"Leader, the two Snow Mane have a total of 130 pounds of blood, all here."

"Okay, you all go out!"

After Shi Ping and others left, Xia Hong stood up and walked to the side of the basin, smelling the strong bloody smell overflowing from the basin, a hint of excitement flashed across his expression.

"130 pounds, the amount is quite large, let's see how much it can help me improve!"

The process of reshaping the skin membrane is certainly painful, but as long as you survive this period, the subsequent improvement in skin membrane strength, the leap-forward increase in basic strength, I believe that no matter who it is, after experiencing it once, they will not be able to refuse.

【Resources: Wood 12590 Coal 580 Iron 1220 Silver 0 Gold 0】

In just this short half of the evening, the amount of wood has increased by more than 1,300 points. The enthusiasm for logging in the camp is evident.

The entire hunting team went out with him, so the coal and iron naturally did not increase at all.

Looking at the remaining resources in the system, Xia Hong fell into thought.

Last time, in order to resist the great pain brought by the hundred pounds of cold beast blood, almost all the resources in his system were used up at that time.

At that time, there were nearly 100,000 wood, more than 5,000 iron, and more than 8,000 coal.

Although he wasn't clear on the specific rules of consumption, he definitely couldn't just jump into the wooden tub again with his current meager resources.

“Let's try it slowly first!”

Xia Hong took off his shirt, retrieved the large, one-jin wooden spoon he had prepared earlier, scooped out a spoonful of blood, and slowly applied it to his body.

The first jin only caused a slight pain.

The second jin intensified the pain, but it was still within an acceptable range.

The third jin… the fourth jin… the fifth jin…

“Hiss…”

By the time he had applied the tenth spoonful, which was ten jin in total, the pain was so intense that Xia Hong began to hiss.

But the system still didn't give any prompts, indicating that he was still within the acceptable range.

Xia Hong gritted his teeth and persevered, continuing to apply the blood of the Frost Beast to his body.

Fifteenth jin… twentieth jin… thirtieth jin…

“Ah…”

Xia Hong began to scream miserably, and large areas of his skin began to burn, even emitting smoke, and his flesh began to blur again.

But the system still didn't give any prompts.

“Ah…”

Xia Hong's screams intensified, his pupils began to show a dazed look, and the intense pain made him dizzy. Only his remaining will kept him waiting for the system to give a prompt.

“Still… no… prompt… this…”

Xia Hong's pupils began to become bloodshot and red, and his body began to feel weak. The hand holding the wooden spoon trembled uncontrollably, but he still couldn't get the system to give a prompt.

The process of reshaping the skin membrane was continuous and unceasing.

This process couldn't be stopped.

In other words, as long as the system didn't give a prompt, Xia Hong would continue to endure this pain, whether he added more or not, it would be the same.

Xia Hong looked at the wooden tub, gritted his teeth, and quickly scooped out the blood with the wooden spoon in his hand, continuously pouring it on his body.

Thirty-five, thirty-six… forty-one… forty-two…

[Detected that the host's nerves have reached their limit, system resources can be consumed to offset some of the nerve pressure]

“Finally…”

At forty-two scoops, which was forty-two jin, the system prompt finally came.

First, the wood was consumed, dropping by 1000 each time, emptying out after only thirteen drops.

Then it was the coal, dropping by 50 each time, emptying out after eleven drops.

Finally, the iron, also dropping by 50 each time, emptying out after twenty-four drops.

[Resources: Wood 0 Coal 0 Iron 0 Silver 0 Gold 0]

At the moment when the resources were cleared, Xia Hong was shocked to discover that the pain he was enduring hadn't diminished in the slightest, and was still exactly the same as before.

“Ah…”

Xia Hong screamed and fainted directly beside the wooden tub.

In the moment before fainting, he realized:

Consuming resources only helped him offset the increasing nerve pressure. In other words, the intensity of the pain he endured was always at the limit of his will.

“If this process continues a few times, the limit I can endure should become higher and higher, and the resources consumed should gradually decrease. Good, this is a good thing…”

Before fainting, this thought flashed through Xia Hong's mind, and the pain on his face seemed to dissipate a lot, even revealing a bit of a smile.

Of course, this smile, appearing with a face of extreme pain, was destined to be somewhat distorted.
