Endless Winter: My Camp Upgrades Infinitely

Xia Hong wasn't sure what the good show Li Xuanling was talking about was, but judging from the current situation, he definitely couldn't miss it.

It was just a pity that Li Xuanling only called Chen Yingyuan and Peng Bo.

Moreover, after Chen and Peng left with Li Xuanling, the large teams of people originally ambushed on both sides of the dense forest also came out.

Coming out from both sides of the dense forest were two hundred black-armored soldiers, fully armed and wearing sturdy armor. They were all carrying longbows and holding black-shafted, silver-tipped serpent spears, with pointed-feather iron helmets on their heads.

These soldiers had firm gazes and a powerful aura. Even their steps out of the dense forest were extremely consistent. They gathered together in a dense mass, exuding a strong iron-blooded aura.

Looking at the iron armor on those soldiers, all with hundred-forged silver纹; the silver light emanating from the tips of the serpent spears in their hands; the bowstring material of the iron胎bows on their backs; and the fact that they all had a base strength of over 30,000, Xia Hong's face and heart were instantly filled with solemnity.

The reactions of the others were far worse than his.

Whether it was Ma Yong and Chen Yuan from Beehive, or Peng Yuan and the others from Yanglu, all those in the Earth-Digging Realm involuntarily trembled when this group of soldiers walked out of the dense forest. Some of the timid ones were even triggered into self-preservation mode, directly drawing their weapons and adopting a defensive posture.

The Longyou Army's military appearance was much stronger than before!

There were still eight hundred soldiers like this in the Longshan camp.

Chen Yingyuan and Peng Bo looked at each other. The last bit of侥幸psychology remaining in their minds was completely extinguished after seeing these two hundred Longyou soldiers.

Seeing Li Xuanling taking the lead and heading north, the two hurriedly followed.

After Li Xuanling left with the two leaders, a golden-armored lieutenant holding a long sword stood out from the two hundred Longyou soldiers and said loudly to the crowd: "I am Li Ying, a Longyou lieutenant. Everyone, please follow me to Longshan Post!"

Although Li Ying humbly used "I," his condescending tone and the way he raised his head when speaking showed his disdain for the more than fifty Earth-Digging Realm cultivators from the two families almost completely on his face.

But even so, Peng Yuan, Chen Yuan, Ma Yong, and the others did not dare to have any resistance. They could only obediently push the carts and follow behind him.

"Those in the back, come to the front and take over pulling the carts!"

Seeing that the people in the front of the two carts were starting to pant, Ma Yong immediately told the people pushing the carts in the back to come forward and rotate. The people in the back quickly stepped forward to take over upon hearing this.

But looking at the people who had rotated, Ma Yong frowned immediately.

"Where is Hong Yu? Don't be lazy, come here quickly!"

He had a deep impression of Hong Yu, firstly because he was the newest member to join the hunting team; secondly, because out of the twenty-four members of Chen Yingba's team, all exceeded 30,000 catties, except for Hong Yu who only had 26,000; and thirdly, because he had noticed that this kid seemed to be slacking off a lot during the past ten days of travel.

"Hong Yu, are you deaf?"

After the first shout went unanswered, Ma Yong felt a little embarrassed and increased his tone, but this shout was still like a stone sinking into the sea.

The people who had just rotated to the back row spoke up at this time.

"We didn't see Hong Yu in the back row?"

"He's not in the front either."

"Where did this kid go?"

… … … …

Upon hearing this, Ma Yong rushed to the back row and searched around, finding that Hong Yu had really disappeared out of thin air. His expression instantly changed.

"Missing?"

"He was just here."

Ma Yong stood in place, looking at the silent snowy ground behind him, and then glanced back at the Longyou soldiers walking forward on their own. He gritted his teeth and said to the crowd:

"Don't worry about him, keep moving."

Judging from the attitude that Li Ying and the others had just shown them, they definitely wouldn't care if someone from Beehive went missing for no reason. Rather than going up and humiliating themselves, it was better to pretend that nothing had happened.

Hong Yu had only joined the camp for a short time and had no relatives or family members. There was no need to clean up after someone like that went missing, so Ma Yong naturally wouldn't take it to heart.

"Just assume he disappeared on his own, and report it when the leader returns."

Ma Yong quickly caught up with the team and continued heading towards Longshan Post.

… … … … … …

In the northern part of Longshan, on an empty earthen slope.

The surroundings of the earthen slope were densely packed with three hundred Longyou soldiers, all with strong bows in their hands, pulling their bowstrings and aiming at the center of the earthen slope.

In the middle of the earthen slope, an extremely fierce battle was taking place.

There were a total of six people in the arena, all middle-aged in appearance.

Two serpent spears, a broadsword, and a long sword.

The four people wearing golden armor on the outside were wielding three kinds of weapons, besieging the two people in the middle.

The two serpent spears swept across each other, the arcs of light separating the snowflakes in mid-air inch by inch;

The broadsword slashed angrily, the surrounding snow was stirred up by the cold edge, forming a thick snow mist;

The long sword slashed swiftly, the sword light reflecting each other with the heavy snow, flickering constantly in the night sky.

Not only were the strengths of the four people extremely terrifying, but their control over their weapons was also incredibly astonishing. Under their combined siege, the momentum was terrifying to the extreme. The entire earthen slope was almost shrouded in snow mist. People with slightly poor eyesight simply could not see the situation inside.

In stark contrast to the four people were the two being besieged.

One of them held a sword and the other held an axe. Under the siege of the four people, they could only flee around in a panic. Several times they tried to break through from one direction, but all ended in failure. Moreover, as time passed, their bodies began to be injured by the four people. After a while, they didn't even have the chance to flee in a panic.

"Ah… … … …"

The man holding the axe screamed. It turned out that two serpent spears were stabbing towards his left and right armpits. Although his body had already jumped high and he was pushing backwards, the serpent spear on the right seemed to have seen through his movements long ago, and actually made a turn in mid-air, piercing his right arm and even using the hook of the serpent spear to pull his body back violently.

The position he was pulled back to was exactly aligned with the serpent spear on the left that had not turned.

One pulling back and one stabbing outwards, judging from the terrifying power displayed by the two serpent spears, if he was stabbed, that person would undoubtedly die.

Clang… … … …

At the critical moment, a long sword struck the long shaft of the serpent spear on the left.

The long shaft was struck, and the serpent spear naturally lost its aim.

The man holding the axe naturally escaped safely!

And the person who struck this sword was the other person who was also being besieged.

A large gash had been cut in that person's back by a broadsword, and blood was gushing out. After saving his companion, not only was there no joy on his face, but it was filled with fear and horror. He hurriedly looked up towards the west side of the earthen slope and said with a trace of pleading:

"Young Master, Liu Xian swears to the heavens that Changning has absolutely no disloyal intentions towards Longshan. Not bringing iron ore on this trip is not disrespecting the Alliance Leader's order. It's just that Changning's two iron mines are already running dry, and it's really impossible to gather so much in a short time. I hope the Young Master will see clearly!"

As soon as Liu Xian spoke, the man holding the axe also followed closely and said: "Songyuan Camp is also the same. Wang Hu is completely loyal to Longshan, heaven and earth can testify. Young Master, please don't be instigated by others and wrongly accuse us!"

A total of nine people stood in the front row of the soldiers on the west side of the earthen slope.

The leader was a refined middle-aged man with a calm and restrained face. At this moment, he was quietly watching the situation in the arena. Hearing the words of Liu Xian and Wang Hu, his eyebrows only twitched slightly, and he did not speak.

The four people behind the middle-aged man's left side were dressed similarly to the four people who were besieging Liu Xian and Wang Hu. They were also wearing golden armor and were middle-aged. Two of them were holding knives, one was holding a halberd, and the other was using a spear.

Among the four people on his right side, one had an appearance that was eighty percent similar to him and was dressed similarly. The other three were none other than Li Xuanling, Chen Yingyuan, and Peng Bo, who had just come from the south.

Seeing that Liu Xian and Wang Hu, who were being besieged in the arena, were already in a dangerous situation, and even just one step away from death several times, Chen and Peng's eyebrows twitched violently, and their breathing became rapid. They felt both fortunate and horrified, and also carried a trace of bewilderment.

They were fortunate, of course, because they had made the right choice. Otherwise, their fate would probably be similar to Liu Xian and Wang Hu in front of them, and it was not impossible that they would die like Yan Chuan.

They were horrified because they were afraid of Longshan's thunderous actions this time.

Yu Cheng's Yan Chuan was already dead. Liu Xian and Wang Hu in front of them would die soon. With the death of three leaders, Longshan would naturally not let go of the three camps of Yu Cheng, Changning, and Songyuan. Did this mean that Longshan was going to abandon the previous Longyou Alliance's gameplay and start annexing the camps below them?

The problem was that the people standing here at the moment were not all of Longshan's power.

Whether Li Tianhua was alive or not was still uncertain. Apart from him, Longshan had at least thirteen people at the Imperial Cold level that they knew of.

Chen Yingyuan turned to look ahead. He was very familiar with the people of Longshan. The one in front was the eldest young master Li Xuanyan, and the one beside him who looked eighty percent similar to him was the third young master Li Xuandu. Counting the young master Li Xuanling, the Eight Great Vajras were only eleven people in total.

Li Tianhua's younger brother Li Tiancheng, and the second young master Li Xuantian, had not appeared at this moment. And the Longyou Army, there were three hundred on the scene now, adding the two hundred they had just seen, there were only five hundred people in total.

Where were the other half of the Longyou Army?

Apart from going to deal with the remaining four families, where else could they go?

No, it was even possible to directly deal with Zhaoyang Camp!

That Alliance Leader's order was not just a paper tiger, it was clearly the last ultimatum to their ten camps. Those who did not respect the Alliance Leader's order would be killed directly!

Before they came, they had also considered not bringing iron ore and seeing how the meeting went first. Thinking about it now, it was like walking on the edge of a life-and-death line. How could they not be afraid?

As for the last trace of bewilderment, it was completely out of fear for the future.

Yan Chuan was dead, and Liu Xian and Wang Hu in front of them would die soon. With the death of three leaders, Longshan would naturally not let go of the three camps of Yu Cheng, Changning, and Songyuan. Did this mean that Longshan was going to abandon the previous Longyou Alliance's gameplay and start annexing the camps below them.

If that's the case, even if they two manage to escape today, in the not-too-distant future, the Beehive and Yanglu families will likely be swallowed up.

Chen Yingyuan and Peng Bo exchanged a glance, seeing the other's hesitation, and both sighed softly. Then, they couldn't help but look at Li Xuanling, a chill growing in their hearts.

The newest novels are first published on 69shuba!

What good show? This is clearly a threat.

A blatant threat!

They were deliberately shown Yan Chuan's corpse, and then brought here to witness Liu Xian and Wang Hu being killed.

The intention of the threat couldn't be clearer!

Chen Yingyuan and Peng Bo could even feel the teasing gazes that Li Xuandu and Li Xuanling and the other six occasionally cast at them.

The only question on their minds at this moment was:

When Li Xuanyan really proposes that the Beehive and Yanglu families merge into Longshan, how should they answer?

Apart from obedience, there seems to be no other way.

… … … …

It wasn't just Chen and Peng who saw Li Xuanling threatening the two families.

At this moment, Xia Hong, hiding in the shadows, had stopped watching the fight in the arena and was instead focusing his gaze on Li Xuanyan and his group of nine.

Wang Hu and Liu Xian's strength was only around the eighth level, while the four who besieged them, the weakest of whom was at the ninth level, and the strongest at the eleventh level, neither of them could beat them in a one-on-one fight, let alone being besieged.

If it weren't for their desperate fighting style, they wouldn't have been able to hold on for so long.

Defeat was only a matter of time, so he naturally wouldn't pay attention to it.

"The leader should be the eldest son Li Xuanyan, the one on the left should be his younger brother, and the four on the right, along with the four who besieged Liu Xian and the others, are about the same age and dress, and should be the Eight Great Vajras of Longshan. That's already eleven Yu Han levels. Adding the Longyou Army, Longshan's strength is indeed very strong, but their strength… … … …"

As he watched, Xia Hong's expression gradually became strange.

The reason was simple: he could see through the strength of all eleven Yu Han level individuals.

Two of the Eight Great Vajras were at the eleventh level, two were at the tenth level, and the remaining four were at the ninth level; Li Xuanyan was at the eleventh level; his younger brother was at the tenth level.

In other words, the young master Li Xuanling, who seemed to be standing at the back,

Was actually the strongest of the eleven.

Xia Hong looked at Li Xuanling's beautiful face from afar, a hint of playfulness rising on his face, and his expression became more and more interested.

"Is she deliberately hiding her strength to confuse outsiders, or do even her own people not know? If it's the latter, that would be interesting!"

Puchi… Ka…

The sound of a snake spear piercing through a body and a broadsword breaking bones came from the mound one after another.

Xia Hong didn't need to look to know that Liu Xian and Wang Hu were probably dead.

Sure enough, on the mound, Liu Xian was pierced through the heart by two snake spears, while Wang Hu's neck was chopped by a broadsword, his head falling to the ground. The two Yu Han level leaders died with hatred in the snowy ground, without even letting out a scream.

The moment the two fell to the ground, Peng Bo and Chen Yingyuan trembled simultaneously, their heads drooping and their expressions becoming even more fearful.

"Alright, let's go to the east. My second brother's side should be about the same. The Xiling, Baiyuan, and Dongkang families arrived together. Let's go over and solve them all together!"

With the deaths of Liu and Wang, Li Xuanyan also spoke.

His voice was gentle and steady, matching his refined and restrained temperament, and there was not a trace of the domineering aura of Longshan's eldest son.

"You two, dealing with those three families will require your help. Since you two are loyal to Longshan, you wouldn't refuse this small request, would you?"

Li Xuanling also spoke, asking Chen Yingyuan and Peng Bo beside her.

"Of course not."

"As a member of Longyou, it is our duty to eliminate rebels!"

Looking at her beautiful face with a smile like a flower, Chen and Peng's fear was almost written all over their faces, and they nodded repeatedly like rattles, agreeing.

No one saw that Li Xuanyan, who was in front, frowned slightly when he heard Li Xuanling's conversation with the two behind him, but he didn't say anything and continued to walk towards the east.

The others, including the three hundred Longyou soldiers, all packed their bags and followed behind him, heading towards the east together.

After everyone had left, Xia Hong walked out of the shadows and went all the way to the top of the mound, looking at the blood left by Liu and Wang on the snow, his brows furrowed in thought.

"That alliance leader token is indeed used to test loyalty, but to act so ruthlessly, killing anyone who participates in the alliance as soon as they don't bring iron ore, is a bit too… exaggerated, isn't it?"

A look of confusion gradually appeared on Xia Hong's face.

If Longshan really had the confidence to sit back and relax, not afraid of the ten Longyou camp betrayals, and mixed with Zhaoyang, then they should wait for the alliance meeting to suppress Zhaoyang with thunderous force, and then use the excuse of not respecting the alliance leader's order to either punish or directly eliminate those camps that did not bring iron ore. That would be more logical.

This way of dispersing people, guarding at the foot of Longshan, and directly killing people as soon as they find out that a family hasn't brought iron ore, is a bit strange.

He really couldn't understand Longshan's behavior.

"No, this seems to be in a hurry to eliminate the unstable factors of the alliance!"

Xia Hong's expression suddenly froze, and then he thought of something, his expression changing drastically, and he turned his head to look in the direction of Longshan.

"So that's how it is, striking first is best, this is striking first!"

Yu Cheng, Changning, and Songyuan, the three families who originally intended to lean towards Zhaoyang, were so easily killed.

The Yanglu and Beehive families were so frightened that they could only follow Longshan all the way to the dark.

As of now, five camps have been resolved.

Even if the remaining five successfully merge with Zhaoyang, with Longshan's strength, they can probably deal with it easily, and even have a good chance of winning!

Zhaoyang's original good momentum was actually resolved so easily by Longshan. Not only was it resolved, but if that Hou Hu of Zhaoyang was also careless, he might even be resolved together this time.

This Longshan camp is clever!

While seeing through Longshan's intentions, Xia Hong can also be sure of one thing.

That is, Li Tianhua definitely has a problem!

"Even if he's not dead, there must be a big problem, otherwise Longshan wouldn't need to be in such a hurry to attack these ten camps, just afraid that they will merge with Zhaoyang, and if it becomes a trend, it will be impossible to recover."

Seeing through Longshan's behavior, Xia Hong's mind instantly became clear, and at the same time, he knew what he should do. Looking at the figures in the distance to the east, he chuckled, his body swept across the snow, and he chased after them quickly.

"I hope that Hou Hu can be a little smarter. If these ten families are really wiped out by Longshan in one fell swoop, then my Great Xia, not to mention extending its hand to Pingxi Plain, will probably have to constantly guard against this neighbor to the north in the future!"
