Endless Winter: My Camp Upgrades Infinitely

Strictly speaking, Yang Ning and Li Hu didn't do anything wrong.

Perhaps their motive for exorcising the ghosts was selfish, and their method of using Luo Ming and the other four leaders as bait was too cruel, but it is an undeniable fact that they stayed in Redwood Ridge to help them deal with the Wood Puppet Ghost.

Even in the great battle in the valley just now, Yang and Li played a crucial role.

Good deeds are judged by their results, not their intentions.

Regardless of their motives, they helped, which is an undeniable fact.

Their mistake lies in their consistently arrogant attitude from beginning to end.

Four failures in exorcising ghosts had long exhausted everyone's trust, because in those four exorcisms, Yang and Li only contributed their strength, while Luo Ming and the other five leaders sacrificed the real lives of their own people.

Although they needed the two to help, everyone chose to ignore their arrogant attitude and frequent displays of contempt, but this did not mean they had no thoughts in their hearts, they were just enduring it because they needed their help.

As Yang and Li showed such an aggressive attitude towards Xia Hong, the pent-up resentment in everyone's hearts completely erupted, which was perfectly normal.

If Xia Hong and his group hadn't notified them in time today, no one in the entire Rogue Camp would have survived, and the Wood Puppet Ghost would have been very likely to successfully advance to the intermediate level, and none of them would have been able to escape by then.

Moreover, Xia Hong deserves the primary credit for killing the Wood Puppet Ghost.

If it weren't for his condensed fire oil and his timely order for everyone not to leave the valley, it would have been uncertain whether the Wood Puppet Ghost could have been completely eliminated today.

Those living around Redwood Ridge may be short-sighted and have limited knowledge, but they do not lack normal, simple human emotions.

Xia Hong was kind to them and contributed greatly to the ghost extermination, even more than Yang and Li, and there was also a layer of regional connection, so they would not sit idly by and watch Xia Hong being bullied.

Besides, the treasure was not intentionally snatched by Xia Chuan, but obtained unintentionally.

Nearly two hundred people all stood firmly on Xia Hong's side, their firm expressions showing their attitude. Not to mention Luo Ming, even the ordinary people of Rogue Camp were full of determination at this moment, not moving half an inch under the angry gaze of Yang and Li.

Li Hu's chest heaved up and down, and the hand holding the broadsword trembled slightly, showing the extent of his anger at this moment.

But even so, he didn't take another half step forward.

Yang Ning beside him also had an extremely gloomy expression.

Both of them knew in their hearts that it was impossible to attack Xia Hong.

Although they were strong, they were still within the realm of Earth Digging.

With nearly two hundred people, including Luo Ming and four others in the Earth Digging realm and dozens in the Lumbering realm, they would be seeking death if they tried to attack forcibly.

Xia Hong… Leader, right! I'll say it one last time, hand him over to me. If he goes to North Shuo Town, he can live a better life. Maybe one day in the future, you can also get the qualification to enter North Shuo Town because of him, as long as you…

"Enough, there's no need for you two to say more. Even if Xia Chuan is my own brother, I won't hand over any ordinary member of my Great Xia Camp to any stranger for no reason."

Yang Ning's face stiffened slightly as he was interrupted before he could finish speaking.

Li Hu next to him finally couldn't help but want to speak, but Yang Ning stopped him as soon as he took a step forward.

"It's useless to say more to the ignorant and unenlightened. Let's go!"

Yang Ning's tone when saying this didn't sound like he was scolding people, but rather revealed a sense of helplessness and fatigue, as if he really felt from the bottom of his heart that Luo Ming and Xia Hong's group were very stupid.

Li Hu was even more direct. Before being pulled away by Yang Ning, he didn't forget to look back at everyone, sneering and cursing, "A bunch of short-sighted fools, what if you get the treasure? Born in this kind of place, your final fate will always be to become food for cold beasts and strange monsters, there won't be any change."

These words completely wiped out the last bit of goodwill in everyone's hearts. Not to mention the ordinary people, even Luo Ming couldn't help but reveal an angry expression.

Xia Hong in the crowd didn't react much, just squinting his eyes, staring at the backs of the two as they walked away, and remembered the names Yang Ning and Li Hu in his mind.

With the departure of Yang and Li, the great disaster brought by the Wood Puppet Ghost also came to a complete end.

Everyone, including Xia Hong, breathed a sigh of relief.

More than half of the people, realizing that they could completely relax, suddenly felt as if their bodies had been emptied, and they collapsed directly on the ground.

But this ease did not last long. In less than ten breaths, mournful cries and weeping gradually came from the crowd.

"Wuwuwu, my child is dead, Leader, my child is dead."

"My mother is also gone…"

"My mother is dead, and my father was also killed, wuwu…"

"I have to go back and find my mother's body…"

Every disaster is destined to be accompanied by great pain.

The mournful cries and weeping sounds in his ears made Xia Hong's heart extremely heavy.

This was already the third time.

The latest and most complete novels are first published on 6_9_book_bar!

Great Xia Camp, Great Stone Camp, and now Rogue Camp before him.

The Wood Puppet Ghost they faced was only a primary level strange monster, but the outcome was already so tragic.

How powerful would intermediate or even advanced strange monsters be?

If he encountered them one day, could he deal with them?

A strong sense of urgency suddenly arose in Xia Hong's heart.

As time passed, although the mournful cries and weeping gradually subsided, the vast majority of people had not emerged from their grief, but were silently shedding tears. Most of those who woke up were also dull and numb, as if their energy had been drained.

Not to mention the ordinary people, even Luo Ming was no exception.

At this moment, Luo Ming was lowering his head, staring blankly at a small dagger in his hand, with a dazed expression and a look of pain and struggle in his pupils.

That small dagger was used by a puppet that ambushed Luo Ming in the wooden house before. That puppet was Luo Ming's eldest son, Luo Yun.

Like the ordinary people in the camp, Luo Ming, the leader, also lost his eldest son and wife, as well as his father, Luo Feng.

The total population of Rogue Camp was more than 1,300. It hasn't been counted yet, but Xia Hong estimates that the total number of people who died before and after is at least over a thousand.

It's no exaggeration to say that every family is dressed in mourning and every household is draped in white silk.

Xia Hong sighed slightly, turned his head and glanced at the sky, then quickly walked to Luo Ming's side, patted him on the shoulder and said, "Leader Luo, please accept my condolences. Soothe everyone as soon as possible and go back to the valley to clean up. It's almost dawn, and it's not safe to stay outside."

Luo Ming was awakened by the pat, immediately turned his head and glanced at the sky, and found that there was indeed a glimmer of light appearing, immediately shuddered, first showed Xia Hong a grateful look, then immediately faced the crowd and said in a deep voice:

"Everyone, don't stay here, go into the valley to clean up first.

Shang Ping, you first lead the others to build a simple wooden house, and then light the stove, so that everyone doesn't freeze."

"Yes, Leader!"

After speaking, Luo Ming turned to look at the other leaders and Xia Hong:

"Everyone, it's almost dawn, you won't be able to leave today, so just make do with me for one night. Wait until nightfall tomorrow before leaving."

Hong Gang and the other four nodded upon hearing this.

Xia Hong would not refuse. He was already injured, and Xia Chuan hadn't woken up yet, so he couldn't leave now.
