Endless Winter: My Camp Upgrades Infinitely

To Shi Qing and the others who were frantically fleeing, this sound was like heavenly music.

As the voice entered their ears, a stunning sword light also came into view.

Although the sword light was dozens of meters away, it arrived in an instant, demonstrating its speed.

The sword light sliced through the air, emitting a sharp hiss, demonstrating its sharpness.

Hearing and seeing all happened in an instant.

The sword light arrived suddenly like a silver bolt of lightning, also in just an instant.

The sword was so fast that before Shi Qing and the others could see clearly, two of the thirteen people who had been chasing them had their heads sliced off by the sword light.

Although it was night, this was the outer edge of Red Wood Ridge, and the trees were not as dense as in the inner layers. In addition, the white light emitted by the snow on the ground meant that Shi Qing and the others' vision was not greatly affected.

When the sword light stopped, Shi Qing and the others naturally saw the person behind the sword light.

Upon seeing him, including Shi Qing, the leader.

Everyone's first reaction was a feeling of inferiority.

It was a young man who looked to be in his early twenties, wearing a brown fur coat; a soft white fur neck guard was wrapped around his neck, obviously made from the tail of a cold-resistant beast; and he was wearing a pair of shiny black leather boots.

Shi Qing and the others' inferiority was not without reason.

The five of them were wearing only animal skin skirts, and they were the kind with holes everywhere, old and tattered.

However, even with this kind of animal skin skirt, less than fifty of the three hundred or so people in the Great Stone Camp could wear them.

The vast majority of the others wore dry leaf clothing.

So-called dry leaf clothing is made by collecting larger fallen leaves, drying them, and then piecing them together into clothes.

Of course, this wasn't just the case in the Great Stone Camp.

Around Red Wood Ridge, apart from the Rogue Camp being slightly better off, the other camps were all in the same situation.

There was no other way, a complete animal skin was itself a proof of strength.

Even the Rogue Camp couldn't guarantee that they wouldn't damage the hides of their prey when hunting, let alone these small camps.

Therefore, at this moment, the young man's complete outfit was enough to make them feel ashamed of themselves.

Not to mention the silver, gleaming long sword in his hand, which instantly annihilated two strange monsters.

While Shi Qing and the others were shocked and doubtful, the young man moved again.

He wielded his sword like a dance; in a flash of lightning, the cold blade cut through the darkness, creating seven or eight sword lights in the air. He beheaded all the remaining ten monsters behind "Xia Ding" with almost effortless speed.

Recalling the scene of themselves fleeing in disarray from the monsters, and then looking at the young man's casual slaying of the monsters, such a strong contrast made the sense of inferiority in Shi Qing's heart even stronger.

After the young man beheaded ten people, he didn't rush to attack Xia Ding, but looked at him calmly and slowly opened his mouth: "What you've done..."

Whoosh…

Before the young man could finish speaking, that familiar sound suddenly rang out again.

Shi Qing's expression changed drastically, and he hurriedly shouted a warning.

"Be careful, sir!"

However, his warning was clearly a bit superfluous.

Before he could speak, the young man had already turned to look behind him. His ears twitched slightly, and he quickly turned his gaze, locking onto the top of a large tree on the left side of the forest.

"He's in the tree, Li Hu, Luo Ming, attack together!"

He shouted loudly, and two more figures came rushing from the right side, quickly charging towards the tree he had locked onto.

At the same time, the young man ignored "Xia Ding" and stomped on the ground, rushing towards the tree.

The three of them were extremely fast, and before Shi Qing could see clearly, the tree had already been cut in half by the young man.

The entire upper half of the tree crashed to the ground.

This scene instantly froze the expressions on the faces of Shi Qing and the other four.

Especially when they discovered that the inside of the tree, after being cut in half, was golden.

The five of them widened their pupils and swallowed hard.

"The hardest Gold Frost Tree, cut in half with one sword?"

When felling trees, they only chose Scarlet Frost Trees.

It wasn't that Gold Frost Trees couldn't be cut down, they could cut them too.

But the problem was that it would take them at least ten consecutive hours to cut down a Gold Frost Tree.

But what did they just see, a Gold Frost Tree cut down with one sword?

The five of them looked at the young man with instant respect.

After the Gold Frost Tree was cut down and collapsed, a black figure leaped out from the top like a ghost, running towards the inner layers of Red Wood Ridge.

But the young man and the other two also reacted extremely quickly.

The three quickly stood in three directions, firmly surrounding the black figure in the middle.

"Trying to run? It's not easy to run into a novice Craftsman Ghoul; we can't let you escape so easily."

"Don't be careless, this is a Wood Puppet Ghoul. The people I just killed were probably all made by him using wood and corpses. He might still have some tricks up his sleeve, so be careful."

Shi Qing reacted quickly. After hearing the two people's conversation and taking another look at "Xia Ding" over there, who had been standing still since the black figure appeared, he had roughly understood.

Craftsman Ghoul, Wood Puppet Ghoul, should all be referring to that black figure.

Xia Ding and those lumberjack team members were obviously all controlled by it.

Moreover, Shi Qing knew and recognized one of the two names the young man had just called out.

Luo Ming, the current leader of the Rogue Camp, and also the son of the former leader, Luo Feng.

Sure enough, Shi Qing looked more closely.

The middle-aged man on the far right, who was slender, with slightly narrowed eyes, and holding a long spear, was indeed Luo Ming, whom he had seen several times.

The one on the left, called Li Hu, was very burly, wearing clothes not much different from the young man's, and holding a cold, gleaming Wild Goose Wing Saber, staring at the black figure in the middle with a fierce gaze.

Shi Qing also saw clearly what the two called the Wood Puppet Ghoul.

On the surface, the Wood Puppet Ghoul was just a black-clad old man with a decaying face and a slightly hunched figure.

He held a three-inch-long dagger in his left hand, and a coil of white thread in his right hand. A pair of scarlet pupils were full of ferocity, and his face was also full of bloodthirsty desire as he looked at the three people surrounding him.

"Ah…"

The Wood Puppet Ghoul suddenly let out a roar, and dozens of transparent silk threads suddenly flew out from the thread ball in his right hand, seeming to completely merge into the darkness and disappear in an instant.

However, the three people surrounding him began to frantically dodge left and right.

Seeing this, Shi Qing also understood that the transparent silk threads must have been what killed his companions earlier, but they were too weak to see clearly.

The three who could see clearly were naturally constantly dodging in the air.

Of course, they weren't just dodging.

In just a few breaths, the young man with the sword seemed to have caught a flaw, twisting his waist and leaping towards the Wood Puppet Ghoul. The long sword collided with the silk threads in the air one after another, creating several sparks.

The long sword could cut off the transparent silk threads.

Seeing this scene, the Wood Puppet Ghoul's face suddenly turned gloomy, and his eyes stared fixedly at the silver long sword in the young man's hand, as if he had realized something.

The weapons in Luo Ming and Li Hu's hands were obviously not as strong as the young man's sword. The two continued to dodge, and although they were also approaching the Wood Puppet Ghoul, they were too slow.

The young man had already swung his sword at the Wood Puppet Ghoul, and the two were still several meters away.

However, the young man's strength seemed to be unbelievably strong.

The long sword slashed across the air, bringing out a fierce sword light, almost touching the Wood Puppet Ghoul. Although it had retreated extremely quickly, the storm-like sword momentum followed closely behind.

The young man's sword momentum was like a tidal wave, one wave after another, instantly forcing the Wood Puppet Ghoul back to a large tree.

At the same time, Li Hu and Luo Ming had finally broken through the heavy blockade of silk threads and arrived behind the young man.

The three of them seized the opportunity, sealing off all the Wood Puppet Ghoul's escape routes from the upper, middle, and lower paths.

The long sword slashed horizontally above, the sharp spear thrust forward in the middle, and the broadsword chopped down below.

Under the simultaneous attacks from the three paths, the Wood Puppet Ghoul had no way to avoid it.
