Endless Winter: My Camp Upgrades Infinitely
#190 - White Bear Mountain River Squad Stranger
Great Xia Year 1, April 30th
“Roar…”
Deep within the arrow bamboo forest, a snow-white Frost Beast was roaring towards the sky.
The Frost Beast stood upright like a human, about four meters tall, covered in snow-white fur, with an exceptionally broad body. Its enormous palms had claws like steel hooks, more than ten centimeters long, which were exceptionally terrifying.
But at this moment, an iron arrow was lodged in its left eye, spraying dark green blood outwards. Its remaining right eye was bloodshot and red, roaring incessantly.
Not only its left eye, but each of the Frost Beast's feet was caught in a half-meter-long circular animal trap. Although the serrated edges of the trap hadn't pierced through the flesh, they were firmly embedded in its paws.
Each of the two traps was also tied with ten ropes, stretched taut, extending in all directions for more than ten meters. At the ends of the ropes, ten people dressed in animal skin were gritting their teeth and pulling with all their might.
“Almost there, switch to one side, pull together!”
Yue Feng roared from a large tree to the left of the Frost Beast.
The ten people pulling the ropes heard the sound and immediately moved.
They all quickly changed their positions, gathered together, and then gritted their teeth, exerting force together, and fiercely yanked the ropes backward.
“Roar…”
The animal traps were subjected to force in one direction, and the Frost Beast's body immediately tilted. Although it was still roaring and trying to stand firm, in less than three breaths, its body still fell down.
Bang…
With a loud noise, the Frost Beast's body collapsed, crashing onto the snow, instantly stirring up a cloud of snow mist more than ten meters high.
The moment the Frost Beast fell to the ground, Yue Feng, who was drawing his bow and preparing to fire in the tree, made eye contact with its right eye and suddenly released the bowstring in his hand.
Whoosh…
The iron arrow pierced through the heavy snow mist in mid-air, and with a pfft, accurately hit the Frost Beast's right eye.
Roar…
With both eyes shot by iron arrows, the Frost Beast's roar became even more hysterical, its ferocity completely aroused. Its palms slammed fiercely on the ground, and the area within a radius of tens of meters trembled incessantly.
Boom… Boom…
“Let’s see how hard you are to kill!”
Yue Feng, holding a long sword, jumped down from the tree and landed directly on the Frost Beast's head. Taking advantage of the fact that its roar hadn't subsided and its mouth wasn't completely closed, he exerted force with both hands and thrust the sword straight into its mouth.
Pfft…
Dark green blood spurted out. A fierce glint appeared on Yue Feng's face as he gripped the long sword with both hands and stirred it fiercely in its mouth.
At the same time, a continuous stream of iron arrows was still shooting towards the Frost Beast's pupils. The ten people who had just been pulling the ropes also rushed over with large sabers, frantically hacking and slashing at the Frost Beast's weak spots.
The Frost Beast's resistance before death became even more violent. Its enormous palms were almost indiscriminately smashing in front of it. While Yue Feng and the other ten people were hacking and slashing, they were constantly dodging.
But even so, there were still three people who were accidentally hit by the Frost Beast's palm. The bodies of the three who were hit were instantly sent flying backwards for more than ten meters like cannonballs.
If it weren't for the cushioning effect of the snow on the ground, this distance would have been even greater.
Pfft…
Yue Feng seized an opportunity to look back and found that the three of them were all spitting blood and hadn't been able to stand up from the ground for a long time. A look of anxiety flashed across his face.
Boom…
The Frost Beast's giant palm whistled over. After Yue Feng lowered his body to dodge it, he noticed the two iron arrows stuck in the Frost Beast's eyes out of the corner of his eye. He gritted his teeth, gripped the hilt of the sword tightly with both hands, suddenly flipped his body, abruptly turned his legs, and stomped fiercely on the ends of the two iron arrows.
Pfft…
The seventy-five-centimeter-long iron arrows, which had originally only been inserted about halfway, were instantly plunged completely into the Frost Beast's eyeballs by Yue Feng's stomp.
“Roar…”
The Frost Beast felt the pain. After a violent scream, its body suddenly bounced, directly blasting more than ten people, including Yue Feng, away.
Bang…
More than ten people were all blasted away and crashed onto the snow. Except for Yue Feng, almost everyone else vomited blood.
“Don't get close, use bows for long-range shooting, it's reached its limit!”
Yue Feng suppressed the surging blood in his chest and shouted loudly at the others. He took the lead in drawing his longbow and fired rapidly at the Frost Beast, which was already staggering and fleeing towards the depths of the bamboo forest.
The others didn't dare to delay when they heard the sound. They forcibly stood up, dispersed, and all took out their longbows, frantically shooting arrows at the Frost Beast.
The Frost Beast, blinded, also completely changed its fleeing movements, constantly crashing into the trees along the way. It only persisted for less than ten breaths before being ground to death alive by Yue Feng and the others behind it with iron arrows.
Bang…
The enormous body fell on the snow with a loud crash.
“Phew…”
Yue Feng's solemn expression finally relaxed, and he breathed a long sigh of relief.
“Captain, are you okay?”
“Finally dead, quickly save people,”
“Yuwen Si Zheng was right, this White Bear's vitality is too strong.”
“That skin is also scary. Just now, I hacked at the same spot with my saber at least five times before I broke through a gap.”
“If we hadn't shot its eyes earlier, I guess we wouldn't have been able to take it down.”
“The captain's last move was very crucial. Those two iron arrows were inserted deep into its head, but it was still able to erupt with such a strong force, blasting all of us away.”
…
Yue Feng stood in place panting for more than ten breaths, ignoring the crowd's discussion, and quickly walked to the side of the three people who had just been knocked away by the White Bear's giant palm.
“Yuan Kun, how are you guys?”
The three of them were sitting up with difficulty. Li Yuan Kun, who had the lightest injuries, was applying golden wound medicine to himself. The other two, who had more serious injuries, each swallowed a Blood Clot Pill.
Li Yuan Kun was the first to recover. After panting for a long time, he looked up at Yue Feng, waved his hand, and said with a smile: "It's okay, I just accidentally got hooked by its claw on my shoulder, it opened a gash, not a big problem."
The other two swallowed the Blood Clot Pill and spoke weakly after a long time:
“My bone is fractured, it should take three or four days to heal.”
“I'm a little more serious, two ribs are broken, it will probably take ten days.”
Hearing that the two were so seriously injured, Yue Feng's expression suddenly became a little gloomy, and he apologized: "My fault, I shouldn't have been so reckless!"
“Captain, don't say that. Surveying and mapping can earn contribution points, not to mention hunting Frost Beasts. We all came voluntarily, it has nothing to do with you.”
Li Yuan Kun was the first to refute Yue Feng, and the others also spoke up one after another.
“That's right, we all came to earn contribution points.”
“It has nothing to do with the captain, everyone agreed to come.”
“What's reckless about it? Arrow Bamboo Forest is originally our Great Xia's territory. It's good for us to come one step ahead and be scouts for others.”
…
Hearing everyone's words, Yue Feng's eyes moved slightly.
As the second batch of hunting teams established in the camp, Yue Feng knew that the strength of the Mountain and River Team was not strong, but nine days ago, when he heard Xia Chuan say that he wanted to choose a person in charge of the Jinggu Outpost, he was still tempted.
As one of the earliest members of Great Xia, following the leader Xia Hong for the longest time, Yue Feng's requirements for himself were naturally extremely high.
When the Hunting Department was reorganized last month, his basic strength didn't exceed 20,000 catties, and he didn't catch up with the first batch of teams to be established. He could only join Xia Chuan's Cloud Dragon Team. At that time, he blamed himself for a long time.
Later, he cultivated desperately. As soon as he passed the 20,000-catties threshold, Yue Feng immediately informed Xia Chuan of his intentions, came out of the Cloud Dragon Team, and created the Mountain and River Team.
The Mountain and River Team has been established for less than a month in total. Not to mention comparing with the twelve teams established in the first batch, even if it is placed in the eleven hunting teams created in the same period, their strength is not strong.
In normal competition, Yue Feng wanted to win, the possibility was very low.
After thinking about it, Yue Feng could only choose to take a risk, discussed with the team's nineteen members, and advanced quickly at a rate of one kilometer per day.
He didn't hide it either, he directly told everyone that he wanted to compete for the position of person in charge of Jinggu. Unexpectedly, everyone really agreed.
Yue Feng wasn't surprised that Li Yuan Kun and several other early members of Great Xia agreed. After all, he had feelings for these people, but Yue Feng was really surprised that the other Digging Realm cultivators in the team also agreed.
These Digging Realm cultivators were all newcomers from Five Ape Mountain. He didn't have any feelings for them, and he didn't even know them before. They only listened to his words and decided to support him. Yue Feng was definitely very moved.
Moved, there was pressure, and the behavior was inevitably a little more reckless.
Originally, today had already explored to a depth of twenty-nine kilometers.
It is said that this progress should be able to win steadily.
But Yue Feng was still worried, worried that other teams would explore deeper, so he decided to take everyone two kilometers deeper.
This reckless move really brought problems.
White Bear.
The White Bear that Yuwen Tao had said before, they ran into it.
That is, the Frost Beast that is lying on the ground at this moment.
Yuwen Tao had said that there were not many Frost Beasts in the Arrow Bamboo Forest, and that 90% of them were White Bears. The Jingxian Camp used to lack Frost Beast meat because this White Bear was too difficult to hunt.
Low-level White Bears required him to lead the team to hunt them, and intermediate-level White Bears even required Yuwen Hu and He Yuan Hun, such Frost Resistance experts, to take action.
With Yuwen Tao's words in front, when Yue Feng led the team and encountered the White Bear, his first reaction was naturally to withdraw. After all, exploration was not hunting. The Mountain and River Team had already completed the minimum quota for this month. If they really wanted to hunt Frost Beasts, there was no need to choose the most difficult White Bear.
The problem was that this White Bear had set its sights on their team.
After a brief encounter, this White Bear followed their team all the way. Yue Feng led the team to go left and right, but they couldn't shake it off. In the end, it even wanted to follow them to the outer edge of the Arrow Bamboo Forest.
In this way, Yue Feng had no choice.
The arrow bamboo forest is now also one of the resources of Great Xia. Every night, many lumbering realms come here to collect bamboo silk. If this white bear is taken to the outer areas and injures people, it won't be good.
Therefore, Yue Feng decisively led the team to take action.
The result is what it is now.
Although the white bear was successfully hunted, there were casualties in the team.
The injured just now were not only Li Yuankun and the other three who were knocked away. The remaining sixteen people, including Yue Feng himself, were also injured, but not seriously.
"This white bear is still a low-level cold beast according to Director Yuwen. No wonder it is said that intermediate white bears require cold-resistant experts to take action. It is indeed very strong!"
Li Yuankun also stood up at this time, walked to the side of the white bear, sighed slightly, and then thought of something, his eyes lit up and he asked Yue Feng:
"Captain, the contribution value price of the white bear hasn't been set yet, right? I haven't seen anyone from other teams bring it back before. Could this be the first white bear hunted by our camp?"
If it is the first one to be hunted, then the value will be high!
The camp's supply department has regulations that any first kill of a cold beast, whether low-level or intermediate, will receive a tenfold contribution value reward after appraisal.
When everyone heard this, their expressions suddenly cheered up.
The latest novel is first published on Liu 9 Shu Ba!
"Seven days ago, Commander Si's Cloud Dragon team hunted an intermediate Blue Moon Essence, and it is said that they were rewarded with 35,000 contribution points at once, and everyone in the team received more than 1,000 points."
"I know about this. Five days ago, Director Si's Dragon Martial team also hunted a low-level Frost Electric Ape, earning more than 3,000 points at once, which is equivalent to the contribution value of an intermediate cold beast."
"If this white bear is really the first one, it will be worth at least three to four hundred, wouldn't we be able to earn three to four thousand points at once?"
"Hahaha, that's great!"
......
Seeing that everyone was getting more and more excited, as if the contribution points were already in their hands, Yue Feng shook his head and finally couldn't help but speak:
"What are you thinking? The first one, does our team have this strength? If it wasn't because we knew enough about it today, do you think we could have killed this white bear head-on with our team alone?"
Everyone was stunned when they heard this, recalling that Yue Feng clearly had a certain understanding of the white bear during the hunting process just now, and the excitement on their faces suddenly diminished a lot.
"At the beginning of this month, Luo Yuan's Tiger Leopard team had already brought back a white bear. At that time, our Shanhe team hadn't even been established yet!"
Tiger Leopard Team, Luo Yuan.
Everyone's expressions shook when they heard this, and they nodded slightly.
There are currently twenty-three hunting teams in Great Xia. Looking at the entire camp, these teams are bound to receive attention;
But in their earth-digging realm circle, everyone's eyes are basically focused on the Cloud Dragon, Dragon Martial, and Tiger Leopard teams.
The reason is also very simple, because in the past month or so, the total hunting merit rankings of these three teams have steadily occupied the first echelon, which is the top three.
"The Tiger Leopard team is currently ranked third. I remember that their merit points this month have already exceeded 13,000. Based on an average of 300 points per low-level cold beast, they have already hunted more than 40 heads, tsk tsk..."
"Not only low-level cold beasts, but also a first kill reward."
"Our team has only hunted seventeen heads this month, including this white bear."
"The first and second are even more powerful. I saw last night that Commander Si's Cloud Dragon team has accumulated more than 52,000 merit points. Even if we deduct the 35,000 for that intermediate Blue Moon Essence, there are still 17,000 points. Calculating it, that's also more than fifty low-level cold beasts. Isn't that too exaggerated?"
"Yuwen Si Zheng's Dragon Martial Team..."
......
Hearing everyone's discussion, Yue Feng couldn't help but feel a strong sense of urgency while sighing.
"The adults and Yuwen Tao have been working hard recently to compete for the title of the first intermediate hunting team in Great Xia. Let's see who can win the prize!"
As the captain, he naturally knows more about what happens in the hunting department than ordinary team members.
It has only been less than a month and a half since the reorganization of the hunting department, and an intermediate hunting team is about to appear. However, his Shanhe team has only hunted seventeen cold beasts so far. How can Yue Feng not feel a sense of urgency in his heart.
"Pack up and go back to Jinggu to rest first, and return to the camp tonight!"
Hearing that they were going back, everyone's expressions suddenly cheered up.
"We can finally go back."
"It's been three days since we went back."
"There are still seven prey in Jinggu, plus this white bear. We should be able to get a lot of contribution points this time."
"After camping out in the open for so many days, we need to have a good rest when we go back."
......
In order to explore the arrow bamboo forest more efficiently, Yue Feng has been living in Jinggu with his team of nineteen people for this period of time, and only goes back once every three days.
Only after actually living outside did everyone realize how good the valley garrison was.
It is said that Jinggu is not bad either. Houses, coal stoves, utensils... all kinds of materials that the people from Jingxian Camp didn't move away when they merged before are basically available. However, living here is not as comfortable and safe as in the valley.
Knowing that they were going back tonight, everyone was naturally in a good mood, and the speed of withdrawal became much faster.
Before leaving, Yue Feng climbed to the top of a bamboo tree, roughly observed the surrounding terrain, took out a beast skin scroll, sketched with a coal pen for a while, and then jumped down contentedly.
"Thirty-one kilometers, the arrow bamboo forest is seventy kilometers long from east to west. We have explored nearly half of it. If we continue step by step like this, it shouldn't take too long to explore the entire territory!"
Jingxian Camp had previously explored twenty kilometers, and the map brought back by Yuwen Tao also recorded it in detail, so their starting point was from a depth of twenty kilometers.
In these nine days, Yue Feng led the team to explore eleven kilometers to the east.
The results are indeed remarkable!
Li Yuankun's injury had almost healed. He said excitedly, "Eleven kilometers, it is impossible for other teams to explore this deep. If nothing unexpected happens, the person in charge of Jinggu should be Captain you."
When Yue Feng heard this, a trace of hesitation appeared on his face and said, "Not necessarily, I am basically not afraid of other people, but I am a little worried about those four teams of Hong Tian, Zhu Ling, Zhu Yuan, and Meng Yi. Their strength is much stronger than ours. If they are also focused on exploring forward, they may not be worse than us."
Li Yuankun's expression froze and he nodded slightly.
These four people are all at the limit of the earth-digging realm and have started using beast blood. In terms of strength, they are much stronger than Yue Feng. If they are also more aggressive, they may not necessarily lose.
"Let's do our best. I admit that I have worked hard enough. If we lose in the end, there is nothing we can do. Jinggu was originally their hometown. It is still appropriate to let them be responsible for this garrison."
After Yue Feng finished speaking, his brows furrowed slightly, obviously his heart was not as calm as he said on the surface.
The group quickly left the arrow bamboo forest from the north and walked towards Jinggu, which was one kilometer away, which was the original garrison of Jingxian.
The devastation of the Jingxian garrison in the great battle last month was mainly focused on the people. The damage to the buildings and the camp furnishings was not serious.
Except for the main building where He Yuanhun lived before and two wooden houses that were completely destroyed, the remaining buildings were basically intact, and even the internal furnishings were still there.
Having lived here for two nights, everyone was naturally familiar with the road. After coming down from the south passage, they went directly to the wooden house where they had lived before.
It's just that before they had gone halfway, Yue Feng, who was at the front, looked down at the snow and his brows furrowed suddenly. He stopped immediately.
"Carry the two of them into the house, and the rest of you spread out, prepare torches and fire-凝火 oil, and look for it to see if it's a person or something..."
When the people behind heard the sound, they followed Yue Feng's gaze, saw the footprints on the snow, their pupils shrank, and they quickly acted according to the deployment.
The Ice Abyss World is snowing all year round, and the footprints will soon be buried by the snow and will not be left behind. To be able to leave such clear footprints, the person must not have gone far, and may even be hiding in the camp.
"Hehehe..."
"We're rich, so much beast meat, we picked it up for nothing."
"Let's go back quickly, so much stuff, we got a bargain, hahaha!"
......
A burst of laughter came from the front, and Yue Feng and the others who were about to disperse immediately stood on the spot.
"No need to look for it, everyone come back!"
The voice came from the house where he had lived before, so the reason why the other party was so happy was naturally not difficult to guess.
"You bastard, dare to touch our prey."
Before Yue Feng could move, Li Yuankun and a few others couldn't help but rush towards the wooden house.
"Everyone go over there, leave one person here to watch the two wounded."
Yue Feng didn't stop a few people either. If it was a person, then everything would be easy to say.
Those seven prey were what their twenty people had worked hard to hunt after camping out in the open for three days. Of course, he was also angry that Li Yuankun and the others were angry.
Seventeen people approached the wooden house and saw someone coming in and out of the wooden house, carrying the cold beasts out one by one, their faces instantly turned cold.
"What are you carrying?"
"Who is it!"
Yue Feng's low shout made the other party instantly vigilant.
The seven people outside the house immediately put down the cold beasts in their hands and grabbed their weapons.
At the same time, sixteen people rushed out of the house, each holding weapons and glaring at Yue Feng and his party who were approaching.
"I ask, what are you carrying!"
The second inquiry was even more subdued. As Yue Feng spoke, he raised the iron胎 bow in his hand, nocked an iron arrow, and aimed directly at a middle-aged man at the front of the group.
Of course, the moment he moved, Li Yuan Kun and the remaining sixteen men instantly completed the action of drawing their bows and nocking arrows, all aiming at the opposing group.
Seventeen on one side, twenty-three on the other.
Clearly, Yue Feng's side had fewer people, but their posture was much higher than the opponents. Even the gazes with which they aimed their arrows were filled with obvious contempt.
