Endless Winter: My Camp Upgrades Infinitely-Chapter 140 - 116: Great Justice, Hunting Jiao, Saliva [Five-in-One Mega Chapter]

Chapter 140: Chapter 116: Great Justice, Hunting Jiao, Saliva [Five-in-One Mega Chapter]

The Long-tailed Rodent, with its tail removed, is no more than a meter long. Its small size naturally means its meat yield is not high, with an average yield of less than three hundred jins per rodent.

Previously, a total of four rodents were harvested, totaling just over a thousand jins of meat.

The slowing pace of strength enhancement is due to the immunity against the meat of the previous three types of Cold Beasts. Having confirmed this point, Xia Hong decided to save this over a thousand jins of rodent meat for himself.

The problem, however, is that his daily consumption limit has now shockingly reached over fifty jins.

Even if all the meat were reserved for himself, it would last less than twenty days.

Most importantly, after inquiry, he learned that both Xia Chuan and Luo Yuan were also experiencing a slowdown in the rate of strength enhancement.

Though the decline is currently not significant, based on Xia Hong’s own experience, once such a sign appears, it tends to accelerate quickly, so it won’t be long before there’s a shortage of new variety Cold Beast meat.

Firstly, training is the top priority, and improving strength definitely can’t stop;

Secondly, there’s concern about the rodent group. Since the normal method can’t solve the rodent group on the north slope of the mountain wall, Xia Hong has to think of other ways. Teng Jiao’s properties are oppositional to rodents, so seeking solutions from Teng Jiao is undoubtedly more reasonable.

Lastly, compared to the rodent group and other unseen Cold Beasts, the strength of Cloud Mist Teng Jiao is at least not as overwhelming, within an acceptable range.

...

On the second day, as night fell, Yuan Cheng enthusiastically packed away the Shock Frost Saber and acquired a bow and a quiver of iron arrows from the Camp Supply Station. He proceeded to the log cabin entrance for assembly.

"The leader is so strong!"

"That massive axe must weigh at least a thousand jins, right?"

"A thousand jins? Are you kidding? Even a big saber weighs seven to eight hundred jins. This massive axe is huge; it must be at least over two thousand jins."

"Hiss... over two thousand jins, the leader’s strength is incredible!"

"You don’t say, the leader is the strongest in Great Xia!"

...

Just stepping out of the cabin, Yuan Cheng found a large crowd gathered at the entrance. Hearing the exclamations from the crowd, he immediately curiously squeezed in.

Bang... bang... bang...

At the log cabin’s main entrance, Xia Hong gripped the massive axe with both hands, his eyes like lightning, moving his body deftly while swinging it rapidly. The two semi-circular axe blades cut circular horizontal edges in the air.

With chops, slashes, sweeps, smashes, and even upward thrusts, Xia Hong performed various movements effortlessly, as if the two thousand eight hundred-jin massive axe was light as air in his hands.

When wielding a regular large saber, the strong edge slicing through air creates whoosh sounds.

However, as Xia Hong swung the massive axe, it produced booming sounds, with its powerful momentum scattering the accumulated snow around him, leaving a bare surface within a radius of five to six meters, demonstrating his formidable might.

Bang...

Xia Hong’s burly frame and the massive axe seemed to merge into one as he leapt into the air and powerfully cleaved downwards, creating a loud boom and splitting a half-meter deep wide trench into the ground.

This swing changed the expressions of the closest onlookers.

They clearly felt the tremor in the ground.

At this moment, Yuan Cheng finally understood why Xia Hong had a strange look on his face yesterday when he worried about Xia Hong’s ability to wield the massive axe.

The leader wielding the massive axe looked even more skilled than Yuan Cheng using his saber, no, not just more skilled than him, but more skilled than anyone in the camp wielding a saber.

"The leader can master anything instinctively, surely a reincarnation of a deity!"

At this moment, not only Yuan Cheng, but also Luo Yuan, the Zhao brothers, and even Xia Chuan were compelled to think this, let alone the other camp members.

Xia Hong, of course, was unaware of these thoughts in their minds.

But from their eyes, he could roughly guess.

Xia Hong chuckled lightly twice but didn’t explain.

There’s nothing like instinctive mastery in this world.

Even if there is, it wouldn’t be him.

The four routines of the Grand Ancestor Long Fist were originally designed to be used with various cold weapons, and combined with his previous life’s extensive background in weaponry, his adaptation speed was so quick.

His basic strength had already reached over twenty thousand, towering over the entire camp. Wielding such a heavy massive axe, the resulting momentum was naturally exaggerated, plus he carried an aura.

It’s normal for them to have these thoughts.

Xia Hong, holding the axe in both hands, initially planned to practice more but seeing more people gather around, he frowned slightly and shouldered the axe, then turned to face Xia Chuan at the front of the crowd, asking:

"Is everyone here?"

From within the crowd, Xia Chuan, Luo Yuan, the Zhao brothers, and the just-arrived Yuan Cheng, totaling six, immediately stepped forward.

All six were neatly attired, their expressions solemn, each holding a large saber, carrying a bow and arrows, with a large leather bag strapped at their waists.

"Let’s set out. Tonight’s hunt will be just the seven of us. The rest of the Hunting Team is responsible for patrolling the outer perimeter, coordinating to protect the Collection Team and the Logging Team, and standing by to support us as needed."

"Yes, leader!"

After the six answered loudly, the remaining nine members of the Hunting Team also immediately stood out. Although some looked a bit dejected for not being able to follow Xia Hong’s group of seven, they quickly adjusted their mindset and responded in unison.

"Yes, leader!"

Seeing everyone ready, Xia Hong led the fifteen out directly.

The Collection Team and the Logging Team had already headed out earlier; once entering Redwood Ridge with the fifteen, Xia Hong had the additional eight disperse to patrol the designated regions, while he led the group of seven deeper.
