Endless Winter: My Camp Upgrades Infinitely-Chapter 380 - 188: Venting, Drawing Lines, Preparations_2

Chen Yingba hadn’t finished speaking when he saw Xia Hong flick his right hand towards him, his nerves instantly tensed up, and he instinctively dodged to the side.

But before his body could move, a sharp whistling sound had already penetrated his mind.

A sharp pain came from his ear, he quickly reached up to touch it, noticing that his ear cartilage had been pierced, and a wave of anger surged from deep within his eyes, but fearing Xia Hong would notice, he quickly lowered his head.

"Did I tell you to speak? Stop trying to be clever!"

Xia Hong glanced at the downcast Chen Yingba, a glint of killing intent flashed briefly in his eyes.

An expert of the Cold Resistance Level, likely the third-in-command of the Hive Camp, Chen Yingba must have been arrogant and overbearing usually. Being fiercely humiliated like this, how resentful he must be in his heart, there’s no need to guess.

"You should be grateful that it was just your earlobe that was grazed. If it had been somewhere else, your life would be staying here today!"

Xia Hong stared at him for a long time, eventually putting away the killing intent in his eyes, and after speaking in a flat tone, continued, "The territory of the Mirror Immortal is now entirely the property of Great Xia. You can forget about this iron mine, from today forward, ten miles north of Jing Valley belongs to Great Xia. Next time, if I find your people intruding again..."

Saying this, Xia Hong paused, saw a giant rock at his feet, stored up a bit of strength, and kicked it towards Chen Yingba.

The rock was half the size of a person, likely dug out from the mine, weighing at least two to three thousand pounds. Yet with Xia Hong’s kick, it seemed to weigh nothing as it soared into the air, instantly crashing towards Chen Yingba’s face.

Whoosh...

The sound of violent air currents came, Chen Yingba’s pupils contracted, recalling the power Xia Hong had just displayed, he quickly dodged to the side, held his breath, and braced with his shoulder.

However, at the moment the rock collided with his shoulder.

Bam...

With a loud bang, Chen Yingba’s body flew backward like a kite with its string cut, thrown back dozens of meters.

He swiftly scrambled up from the ground, looking at his own bloody and mangled shoulder which had a huge sunken area, gulped down a mouthful of saliva, and couldn’t recover from the shock for a long time.

The kick in the cave earlier, he could still say he was careless and unprepared, leading to his sorry state.

But this massive rock Xia Hong kicked over, he had been bracing himself to take.

Yet the outcome was still the same.

What does this indicate?

It indicates that his strength is on a completely different level from this Great Xia Camp Leader standing before him, how could this be!

Could it be that Xia Hong is a level above the Cold Resistance Level?

He must be, otherwise how could he defeat He Yuanhun?

"Get lost!"

At this moment, Chen Yingba’s heart had no trace of anger left. Upon hearing Xia Hong utter those two words, he felt nothing but relief, even a bit of gratitude, he covered his shoulder and ran north without looking back.

"Leader, you’re amazing!"

"That Chen Yingba was so arrogant just now, and he actually fled like a whipped dog, hahaha."

"He was so harsh to us, but didn’t dare say a peep in front of the leader."

"He deserved to be taught a lesson."

...

As soon as Chen Yingba left, the mood in the cave instantly relaxed.

Yue Feng, although his expression was also excited, remained relatively calm, and seeing the sky darkening, led everyone out of the cave.

"Leader, we’re lucky you came in time, otherwise these two iron mines would probably have fallen into the hands of the Hive Camp."

Xia Hong turned to look at Yue Feng and the others, with a touch of appreciation on his face, he said, "It’s right to guard the iron mine, but you must also know your limits. The strength of Chen Yingba is not on the same level as yours. Next time, in such a situation, you should compromise if needed. Preserving your life is the most important. We can always retake the mine if it’s lost, but life, once lost, is gone forever."

Hearing these words, a wave of emotion washed over everyone’s faces.

Moved, Yue Feng clenched the fists under his sleeves, hungry for more strength, recalling the humiliation just moments ago. If Xia Hong hadn’t arrived in time, his little life would surely have been lost.

"Leader, have you always been in the Arrow Bamboo Forest area?"

Xia Hong shook his head and replied, "I’ve indeed been around here for the past few days, but I usually come during the day. Just finished some business and as soon as I returned to camp, I heard Li Yuankun talking about something happening here. They couldn’t come during the day, so I hurried over alone."

Upon hearing this, Yue Feng and the others’ faces showed a look of relief.

It’s fortunate that Xia Hong has reached the Cold Resistance Level, moving differently from them. If he were still like before, they would surely have been doomed tonight.

"Leader, Chen Yingba was punished so severely by you, he surely won’t dare cross over to Jing Valley again. We can peacefully manage this area now."

"Dare to come again? Is he courting death?"

"Couldn’t even take a rock kicked by the leader, what face does he have to come back?"

"Haha, surely he won’t dare to come again."

...

Hearing the discussion among the Mountain River Team members, Xia Hong furrowed his brow.

Not just Xia Hong, even Yue Feng’s expression slightly froze.

Chen Yingba was indeed harshly reprimanded just now, and from his reaction earlier, you could tell he’s likely afraid and won’t come back.

But he’s merely the leader of the Beehive’s Hunting Team, likely only the third in command. Above him are the Great Leader Chen Yingyuan and the Second Leader Wu Tianxing.

Chen Yingyuan and Chen Yingba should probably be brothers.

The Hive Camp’s follow-up reaction still remains uncertain.

"The leader didn’t strike fatally and let him go; if those two leaders of the Hive Camp aren’t fools, they should understand the implication."
