Endless Winter: My Camp Upgrades Infinitely-Chapter 231 - 145 Killing, Bloody_3
Chapter 231: Chapter 145 Killing, Bloody_3
These people don’t intend to live, drawing them deeper into Redwood Ridge. Thinking of the person from before, and looking at the four people in front of him, He Meng’s anger burned even hotter within his chest.
The people of Great Xia are truly ferocious.
"Kill them all, no need to leave anyone alive. Redwood Ridge is only so big. Search a few more times, and eventually, we’ll find the Great Xia Station!"
Whoosh... whoosh... whoosh...
As He Meng’s words fell, the speed of the group’s arrow shooting instantly increased.
Over twenty people from the Earth-digging Realm had bows in their hands, facing ten from the Logging Realm. If they weren’t trying to capture someone alive to ask for the location of the Great Xia Station, they wouldn’t have needed to pursue them for so long.
Thud...
Sure enough, one of the four people in front was hit again.
Since they no longer needed to leave anyone alive, this group did not hold back. Seeing that the person was shot and nailed to a tree, they immediately shot four or five more arrows, directly hitting vital points.
"Bee... bee... bee... bee..."
Despite being on the brink of death, that person relied on their willpower to blow the Bone Whistle one last time.
Thud...
Such a scene naturally fueled He Meng’s rage even more, and he shot an arrow that pierced through the person’s mouth, causing the whistle sound to stop abruptly.
"It’s over, Captain Hong. They’re going all out!"
"Seven of us are already dead, and we probably won’t make it either..."
The three still rushing ahead confirmed that the group behind started going all out, and instead of panic, their eyes turned fierce.
Especially Hong Mu in the middle, who, after dodging an Iron Arrow with the help of a big tree, dove straight into the deeper west side of Redwood Ridge.
"Even if we die, we won’t let them have it easy. Give me all the torches and gather them together. We’re already within a 500-meter range; if we can lure a few intermediate Cold Beasts, even if we die, it won’t be a loss!"
The people on the left and right immediately threw their torches to him.
When going out, the Great Xia Logging Realm people, besides being covered in Coagulated Fire Oil, were only equipped with a single torch.
Hong Mu combined the three torches, raised them high, and continued deeper.
From the initial encounter, when the other side shot the first arrow, Hong Mu realized that this group was entirely of the Earth-digging Realm.
His father, Hong Gang, in the Hunting Team, also had the strength of the Earth-digging Realm.
Hong Mu had seen the arrows shot by his father, so he knew very well that the people behind them were likely stronger than his father, and with their numbers, this group’s strength might even surpass the Da Xia Hunting Team.
Although he hadn’t seen the opponent’s appearance clearly, Hong Mu could basically conclude that they were definitely from the Mirror Immortal Camp.
Fighting head-on was certainly seeking death; if the leader didn’t come, no one in the entire camp was their match for this group. So from the start, Hong Mu blew four Bone Whistle signals, warning those going out that night to quickly flee.
"The others should have mostly escaped. Dying is certain, but even if the leader knew, he’s too far away and probably couldn’t make it in time. Only by drawing in Cold Beasts would there be a slim chance of survival!"
Hong Mu didn’t know the specific power of the torches because he had never used them when going out. He had only heard his father, Hong Gang, say that the torches were extremely terrifyingly attractive to Cold Beasts, that they should never be lit unless absolutely necessary.
So at this moment, he wasn’t sure, and coupled with the increasingly dense Iron Arrows from behind and the fact that only two people remained alive beside him with no sight of the Cold Beasts, his face became more despairing.
"Roar..."
Suddenly, a Cold Beast’s roar came from the side.
On a usual logging outing day, such a Cold Beast’s roar would be no different from a death sentence, but at this moment, to Hong Mu, it sounded like celestial music.
Not only did he feel much more relaxed, but a smile even appeared on his face.
"In this area, this sound surely comes from an Intermediate Cold Beast. If I can hold on for a few more seconds, maybe, just maybe, there’s a chance to survive!"
In all this time, from when the people behind decided to go all out until now, it had only been a little over twenty seconds.
If the Cold Beast comes quickly, or if another one comes...
Thud...
A team member on the left was nailed to a tree by an Iron Arrow again.
Hong Mu’s face showed a trace of grief and pain. In total, there were ten people in his group, and they usually went out logging together, having developed a deep bond.
In such a short moment, eight had already died.
Only he and one other person were left.
"Still want to run? Die for me!"
The arrows coming from behind suddenly had a gap; Hong Mu thought it was the delay caused by the killed teammate.
It wasn’t until he heard He Meng’s angry shout in his ear that he realized it was because He Meng had caught up, leaving the rest of the Mirror Immortal Camp without a target to shoot at.
Feeling the coldness of the blade light approaching his back, Hong Mu’s pupils shrank, and a wave of doom surged to his head.
He had calculated well, and the Cold Beast was indeed drawn by the torches.
But the only thing he miscalculated was that his strength was too weak!
More accurately, the gap between the Logging Realm and Earth-digging Realm was too vast.
Previously, He Meng and the others hadn’t gone all out, which was the main reason they could escape smoothly. From the moment the other side decided to go all out until now, borrowing the trees to dodge for over twenty seconds was already his limit.
The Cold Beast was too far away; no one could save him.
He was doomed!
Clang...
Just as Hong Mu closed his eyes, waiting for death, an Iron Arrow suddenly flew from the east, directly hitting He Meng’s knife.
The sound of metal clashing rang out. Although He Meng’s knife deflected a bit, it didn’t affect his continued attempt to kill Hong Mu.
Although he realized someone from Great Xia was definitely behind him, He Meng’s eyes were filled with murderous intent, and he was still resolute in striking towards Hong Mu. free𝑤ebnovel.com
Whoosh... whoosh... whoosh...
After the first arrow was deflected by the knife, more Iron Arrows continuously flew from behind, directly targeting him.
