Endless Winter: My Camp Upgrades Infinitely-Chapter 379 - 188 Venting, Drawing Lines, Preparing

"What happened at the Mirror Immortal Camp?"

Just a moment ago, it was only suspicion, but hearing this question, Yue Feng could conclude that the middle-aged man in front of him was undoubtedly a high-ranking member of the Hive Camp.

Lu Sheng must have relayed my words back last night.

This person came personally to confirm, clearly not believing that the Mirror Immortal had merged into Great Xia.

Of course, the most important purpose was definitely to seize the iron mine.

Yue Feng looked at the sky outside the cave, his eyes flickering slightly, assumed a thoughtful demeanor, and stayed silent for over ten breaths without speaking.

"Don’t think about stalling for time; no one coming will help. This iron mine has already become part of our Hive Camp. I give you five breaths to answer!"

With his scheme uncovered, Yue Feng had no choice but to quickly respond:

"Mirror Immortal Gu caused trouble, killing seventy to eighty percent of the camp. The remaining people have all merged into our Great Xia Camp."

Indeed!

The middle-aged man’s gaze sharpened. Recalling the Mirror Immortal’s premises just now, the houses hadn’t suffered much damage, nor were any bodies seen, his heart turned cold.

In a normal camp conflict annihilation, it shouldn’t be like this. He had just suspected it was deceitful monsters at work and finally confirmed it upon hearing Yue Feng’s answer.

"He Yuanhun and Yuwen Hu, were they both killed by the deceitful monster?"

"He Yuanhun colluded with the deceitful monster, causing everyone’s deaths, including Yuwen Hu. Our leader Xia Hong defeated He Yuanhun, chased him away, and only then rescued the survivors."

Yue Feng’s response made the middle-aged man’s face tense up.

He looked directly into Yue Feng’s eyes, first showing doubt, then gradually it turned into mockery, finally letting out a light laugh:

"Even now, you’re thinking of stalling. You are quite clever, but using such words to fool me, do you think I’d believe..."

Yue Feng’s heart sank, not yet understanding the reason for the other’s doubts when the middle-aged man’s tone abruptly turned low.

"What kind of person is He Yuanhun? With just an obscure Great Xia Camp leader like you defeating and chasing him away, do you think I’m muddle-headed?"

Before the words were fully spoken, the middle-aged man’s massive build suddenly moved.

At a distance of over ten meters, Yue Feng only felt a gust of wind hitting him head-on, and he hadn’t even seen it clearly when the middle-aged man’s fist appeared in his eyes.

The shadow of death loomed over him, and Yue Feng couldn’t react in time as only two words popped into his mind.

"It’s over!"

Bam...

A violent shockwave suddenly exploded, and Yue Feng’s body was instantly sent flying back over ten meters. The fourteen people not far from him were all scattered by the shock as well, some even unable to stand and fell directly to the ground.

However, when getting up, Yue Feng saw the black figure standing in front of him, his face full of relief and surprise; the other fourteen’s expressions were equally invigorated upon seeing the scene.

"Leader!"

"The leader is here."

"Greetings, leader!"

...

Xia Hong held the middle-aged man’s right fist with one hand, his gaze dark and eyes glinting with a trace of indiscernible killing intent.

The middle-aged man, who was just extremely overbearing, now had a face full of heaviness, especially realizing that he couldn’t even retrieve his fist, feeling the terrifying strength in Xia Hong’s hand, his pupils even carried a trace of fear.

"Could you be the Great Xia Leader..."

Bam...

The middle-aged man hadn’t even finished his sentence when Xia Hong suddenly released his hand, kicking him directly in the abdomen.

The terrifying force caused the middle-aged man’s abdomen to dent a dozen centimeters inward, and his body catapulted backward dozens of meters like a cannonball, not only flying out of the mine but also crashing into the snow, dragging for over ten meters in the snow before stopping.

"Pfft..."

The middle-aged man got up from the snow, spat a mouthful of blood, quickly drew a section of a soft sword from his waist, and stared fiercely at Xia Hong, utterly horrified.

"I’m in a good mood today, seeing as you’re quite old, let me teach you how to speak: you are not qualified to ask me questions. Whatever I ask next, you answer honestly, understood?"

...

This was the same thing he had just said to Yue Feng and the others. Now, Xia Hong had returned it intact. The middle-aged man clearly understood that the other was venting for Yue Feng and the others.

The middle-aged man’s face flushed with alternating shades of red and green with anger, yet despite the fury in his chest, he thought of that kick just now, kept his mouth shut, and didn’t dare utter a word.

The expressions of Yue Feng and the others immediately became exhilarated.

This is the leader — this middle-aged man also possessed Cold Resistance Level strength, yet in Xia Hong’s presence, he didn’t even have the courage to retort, just like how he faced him just a moment before.

The Mountain River Team was established quite recently; aside from Yue Feng and a few others, most who joined later were from the Earth-digging Realm of Five Ape Mountain. These people hadn’t yet experienced Xia Hong’s prowess firsthand.

Now, witnessing Xia Hong’s strength for the first time, their eyes inevitably gave rise to the same fervent enthusiasm as with Yue Feng and the few others.

Xia Hong fixed his gaze on the middle-aged man, and began questioning in a calm manner.

"Name and position."

"Chen Yingba, leader of the Hive Camp Hunting Team."

"Do you know He Yuanhun?"

"We’ve interacted twice before, worked together twice in hunting advanced Cold Beasts."

Hearing about advanced Cold Beasts, Xia Hong raised an eyebrow, but did not press the point, continuing to ask, "How many people in the Hive Camp, and what’s your leader’s name?"

This question caused Chen Yingba’s expression to stiffen.

But when he looked up and saw Xia Hong’s gradually darkening expression, he tightened his mind, gritted his teeth, and said, "Our Hive Camp’s total population exceeds sixty thousand. The Great Leader is Chen Yingyuan, and the Second Leader is Wu Tianxing, both stronger than me. Your strength is indeed formidable, but..."
