Endless Winter: My Camp Upgrades Infinitely-Chapter 255 - 152: Mirror Immortal’s Killing Intent, Who is Framed?

Chapter 255: Chapter 152: Mirror Immortal’s Killing Intent, Who is Framed?

Redwood Ridge, still looks like the eternally unchanging frost.

Each giant tree seems forged from ice, and the spaces between are like a spread of white velvet. The moonlight filtering through the branches onto the ground is absorbed by the snow, leaving no trace.

All around, everything is silent. The occasional sound brought by the wind and snow is exceptionally clear.

"Why do your clothes look thicker than the others?"

Walking at the front of the team, Xia Hong turned back to look at Xu Ning and Lin Kai, who were noticeably a size larger than the others. Then he glanced across the group and noticed that Qiu Peng, Zhu Shun, and Zou Yuankai were the same. He curiously asked a question.

The Hunting Team, hearing this, all smiled.

But the five who were named felt a bit embarrassed.

"Leader, the five of them, are wearing something underneath!"

Seeing Xia Hong turn his head to look at him, Xu Ning directly took off his coat.

Underneath his black cloak, instead of a lining, there was a thick, double-sided, light gold leather armor.

"This is Thunder Kui skin?"

Xia Hong stepped forward, touched it, and immediately recognized the material of this leather armor. Then he turned to look at the chest area of Lin Kai and the others, instantly understanding why they all showed embarrassed expressions.

"Didn’t I tell you last time, Mu Dong used Thunder Kui skin to make five leather armors. We’ve tried it—it can block most arrows shot from the Earth-digging Realm. Since it’s just lying around, we might as well let these five wear it, of course, they have to pay rent!"

As Xia Chuan spoke, the others couldn’t help but chuckle.

Lin Kai couldn’t hold back and said, "I said, this leather armor should be worn by you. We’re the last ones to break through and aren’t strong enough..."

"Hahaha, that’s exactly why we give it to you because you’re not strong enough!"

...

The five of Xu Ning, who broke through the latest, received special care.

Lin Kai and the others’ embarrassment wasn’t because they felt humiliated; it was evident they thought their strength wasn’t enough and didn’t deserve such good gear. They felt the armor should be used by stronger individuals.

Seeing the five being teased, Xia Hong couldn’t help but chuckle softly twice, a strong look of approval in his eyes.

Unity is not just talk, admiring the strong is nothing, but taking care of the weak truly reflects the cohesion of a camp.

Lin Kai, Xu Ning, and Qiu Peng were originally from Great Xia; Zou Yuankai was initially from Roger’s group; Zhu Shun was originally from Huang Zhao’s group.

The Hunting Team is exactly a representative microcosm of the camp.

From everyone’s behavior, it can be seen that, in the past six months, the entire internal Great Xia has completed a thorough integration.

"By the way, weren’t there still twenty-five pieces of Thunder Kui’s head armor?"

Remembering the loot from killing He Meng’s group, Xia Hong asked again.

Xia Chuan replied, "Those skulls were all taken by Mu Dong for research. Like He Meng’s group, it takes five people to form one piece. We found it troublesome, so we simply didn’t bring them."

That makes sense!

Although the head armor’s defense is strong, it’s all in small pieces, making it inconvenient to carry. And wanting to quickly assemble a shield like He Meng and others would definitely require a lot of practice and cooperation.

Hopefully, Mu Dong’s research will bring some surprises!

Unknowingly, Xia Hong had led everyone to the northernmost part of Redwood Ridge.

Just having slightly toured around the outskirts, Xia Hong’s expression immediately turned sombre.

The others, observing along the way, showed the same expression as him.

"The number of low-level Cold Beasts isn’t right!"

"There are also a lot of activity traces on the snow."

"Are Mirror Immortal Camp’s people still coming?"

"Most likely, aside from them, there’s no one else."

...

Indeed, Mirror Immortal Camp still treats our words as nothing.

Feeling so disregarded made Xia Hong a bit angry.

But compared to his anger, his heart was filled more with confusion!

From the continued invasion of Redwood Ridge, Mirror Immortal Camp obviously didn’t heed the warning or, to be blunt, they didn’t regard Great Xia Camp at all.

Then why not come directly for revenge?

After killing a bunch of He Meng’s group, they haven’t come for revenge for six consecutive days; they just keep coming to Redwood Ridge without regard.

This behavior seems odd no matter how you look at it!

The first six days, Great Xia’s people indeed didn’t go out, but Great Xia Station was always in the valley over there. If they wanted revenge, they absolutely could.

There’s no way they couldn’t find Great Xia Station.

Not to mention two Cold Resistance Level strong individuals and hundreds in the Earth-digging Realm—just wandering around Redwood Ridge’s outskirts, they could easily find it.

Moreover, Lu He’s leader Lu He previously visited the valley, and now his entire camp has merged with Mirror Immortal.

Xia Hong could almost be certain that Mirror Immortal Camp definitely knows the location of Great Xia Station.

That makes it even stranger!

Not only Xia Hong but Xia Chuan, Luo Yuan, and others were also frowning, clearly having thought the same. They were unable to grasp Mirror Immortal Camp’s motives.

"Could it be they’re planning to endure He Meng and other’s deaths as a reason to force us to completely give them this northern area?"

As Luo Yuan spoke, the others all fell into deep thought.

Point taken, it does make some sense.

But soon, Xia Chuan dismissed this speculation.

"No reason; if they really planned this, they could send someone to negotiate with us. Now, continuing to invade Redwood Ridge without a word doesn’t seem like a stance to compromise with us..."
