Chapter 138: Chapter 115: New Earth-digging Realm, Enhanced Mining Efficiency【Three in One】_3

"Big brother, this giant axe is for hunting the Teng Jiao, right?" fгeewёbnoѵel.cσm

Seeing Xia Chuan guess the purpose of the giant axe in an instant, Xia Hong didn’t hide it and nodded lightly.

The Teng Jiao we saw last time was over thirty meters long and had a waist as thick as sixty to seventy centimeters, larger than the biggest Golden-eyed Demon Sheep we had encountered before.

Furthermore, because its body is so long and the trees in Redwood Ridge are large enough, the Teng Jiao can coil and move on the trees. Despite its massive size, it is incredibly agile.

The most crucial aspect is that poisonous fog.

Due to the poison fog, the time to hunt down the Teng Jiao is at most half an hour. If it can’t be killed within half an hour, we must retreat. If we consider situations where we fail the hunt and get chased, the time is even less.

The larger the size, the stronger the vitality; high agility makes it difficult to pursue; the hunting time must be very short.

Considering these three characteristics together, to successfully hunt the Teng Jiao, you can’t drag it out; you must inflict the greatest damage in the shortest time.

The knives and bows used in the camp right now are clearly a bit inadequate.

"Even the big knives are too light and small, not to mention the bows and arrows. Even with Pure Iron Arrows, they’d probably just scratch the Teng Jiao. Let’s see if this giant axe can be effective."

Xia Hong spoke while picking up the big knife next to the furnace, the very Shock Frost Saber he had previously crafted himself.

The Shock Frost Saber, including the blade and handle, is one and a half meters long, and the back of the blade alone is twelve centimeters thick, weighing six hundred and twenty pounds.

If someone who doesn’t know better heard Xia Hong say "too light and small," they’d probably think he was out of his mind.

But the truth is, it actually is so.

Too light and small, depending on who you’re comparing it with.

Compared to the Snow Mane, Frost Wolf, and Demon Sheep, the big knife certainly isn’t small or light, but in front of the Teng Jiao, that description is absolutely fitting.

Seeing the Shock Frost Saber, Yuan Cheng’s eyes lit up.

During this period, Xia Hong hadn’t crafted any new weapons.

The camp currently still only has five big knives.

The Shock Frost Saber is naturally in Xia Hong’s hand, the other four were initially in the hands of him, Luo Yuan, Zhao Long, and Hong Gang.

But as Zhao Hu and Zhao Bao broke through to the Earth-digging Realm, the two big knives in his and Hong Gang’s hands naturally went to those two.

If Yuan Cheng hadn’t had one initially, he wouldn’t be so eager, but having it and then losing it, that’s tough.

Part of why he had been trying hard to break through to the Earth-digging Realm was to regain the use right of the big knife.

Originally, he wanted to take back the previous big knife, but seeing the Shock Frost inside Xia Hong’s hand, Yuan Cheng immediately shifted his goal.

This saber was crafted personally by Xia Hong, and he had used it for some time. Not to mention, it’s the first weapon of the Daxia Camp, holding significant meaning, much more precious than the original one.

If I could use it, that would be just...

Noticing the desire all over Yuan Cheng’s face long ago, Xia Hong deliberately twirled the big knife a few times to tease him. Seeing Yuan Cheng’s gaze fixed on the moving knife, he laughed several times and directly tossed the Shock Frost Saber to him.

"Alright, alright, I know you want it. You can use this big knife first; I’ll be using the giant axe for the time being."

Yuan Cheng caught the Shock Frost Saber, joy spreading across his face, but after thinking for a moment, he quickly looked up with a trace of hesitation and handed the saber back.

"Leader, you just crafted this giant axe, and you might not be familiar with it yet. How about you use the Shock Frost Saber first, and when you get used to the giant axe, I’ll use this big knife."

Xia Hong raised his eyebrows slightly, shook his head, and didn’t take the knife.

"Don’t worry about me. You both come with me to the mine!"

After speaking, Xia Hong pulled out a long Sheep Horn Chisel from behind the furnace, leading the two directly downstairs, heading towards the southern mine.

The supplies in the mine have all been moved to the warehouse on the second floor of the wooden house, making it much more spacious now.

Clang... Clang... Clang...

As the three walked in less than five or six meters, they heard rhythmic chiseling sounds inside, along with the idle chatter of Luo Yuan and the other four,

"Luo Yuan, how heavy is your piece?"

"Should be over sixty pounds."

"So much? My last piece was just over forty pounds."

"One piece that’s sixty pounds, that’s a profit! Six Contribution Values can be exchanged for twelve pounds of Cold Beast Meat; if we get another piece today, we can get over twenty pounds of Cold Beast Meat."

"I can’t exchange everything for Cold Beast Meat. My house doesn’t have any furniture right now, and the wife is complaining. The full set, including a wooden bed, wooden barrel, chairs, and other items, requires seventy-five Contribution Points. I’ve got to save up for a while and exchange them all together later."

"Yeah, my wife too, took the kids to the Craftsmen Workshop to see the wooden bed and came back immediately demanding it. It requires twenty-five Contribution Points; I need to dig for two or three days to exchange for one."

"It’s expensive, but comfortable. That wooden bed comes with a Beast Skin mat; it’s so soft to lie on, much more comfortable than sleeping on the ground. Not to mention women and kids, even I wanted it after I tried it."

"The logging team, the collection team, the Craftsmen Workshop, and the Camp Supply Station all have their own channels for earning Contribution Values, only our Hunting Team doesn’t have one yet. The leader didn’t mention when it would be announced. The logging team gets one point per outing; shouldn’t we get at least two points?"

"Definitely higher than theirs, but we don’t know the specific distribution yet. The leader will probably allocate based on each person’s contribution, we’ll know then."
