Endless Winter: My Camp Upgrades Infinitely

84: Chapter 84 Two Big Gifts 84: Chapter 84 Two Big Gifts On the scroll, there were six lifelike Cold Beasts drawn.

The first three were just the Long-tongue Snow Mane, Bone Spur Frost Wolf, and Golden-eyed Demon Sheep that the Great Xia Camp had dealt with before;

The latter three, one resembled a long snake, labeled as Cloud Mist Teng Jiao; one was massive in size, labeled as Golden Armored Thunder Kui; one had snow-white fur, labeled as Blue Moon Elf.

Most importantly, beneath the labeled names, there was a detailed record of these three Cold Beasts’ living habits, attack methods, and their deadly weaknesses.

“Thank you, Leader Luo!”

Xia Hong took a deep breath and bowed respectfully to Luo Ming.

The value of this scroll could be said to be even more precious than the half of the coal iron that Luo Ming left at the camp.

Creatures like Cold Beasts, cunning as a fox, with bizarre methods and terrifying power, are not much easier to deal with than Deceitful Monsters.

Speaking of which, earlier at Da Shi Camp, so many people hunted Snow Mane, but ended up sacrificing three people, ultimately resulting in failure;

The Golden-eyed Demon Sheep that was chased to the Great Xia Camp by the Deceitful Monster later, although Xia Hong broke through during the battle, it was at the cost of Xu Ning losing his right eye to finally solve it.

Even slightly familiar Cold Beasts are like this, not to mention the unfamiliar ones.

It can be said that in the wilderness, hunting any never-before-seen Cold Beast inevitably involves sacrifice.

What Luo Ming gave was not a scroll, but the lives of future Da Xia Hunting Team members!

This scroll was probably something that the Rogel Camp recorded over many years, at a huge cost, and Luo Ming willingly offered it to him, which indeed touched Xia Hong deeply.

“Don’t rush to thank me, take a look at the second one!”

Xia Hong nodded, opened the second scroll, and upon seeing its contents, a trace of joy appeared on his face again.

This was a map, a map of the eastern side of Redwood Ridge.

The map was crude, with only some special annotations.

Clearly afraid Xia Hong wouldn’t understand, Luo Ming approached and explained, pointing at the map:

“The center of the map is the valley where the camp is located.

East of the valley, behind these two mountains, is an unknown place; we have never been up these mountains, but occasionally there is a lot of commotion during the day, there are likely very strong Cold Beasts on the mountain, and their types are unknown;

The west side is Redwood Ridge, and over the years, Rogel Camp’s exploration range in Redwood Ridge has been no more than a kilometer.

The latter three Cold Beasts on the first scroll are mostly within a 500 to 1000-meter range.

To the south, two kilometers past Great Xia Slope, there is an iced-over river.

There are no signs of Cold Beast activity around it and it should be very dangerous, so people should not go there if possible.

To the north, there is a bamboo forest, and on the west side of the bamboo forest, there is a mountain road where many Cold Beasts gather, but during the fruiting period of the Ice Tree each year, for three to five days, whether looking for food or for some other purpose, Cold Beasts will drill into the bamboo forest, allowing people to risk passing through quickly during this time.

Crossing this mountain road leads to a place called Pingxi Plain, where there is a giant camp named Beehive, which is my destination this time.”

At this, Luo Ming finally answered the question Xia Hong had just asked.

Xia Hong stared at the map, unable to speak for a long time.

The two things Luo Ming had left with him before leaving were precious beyond measure.

“Leader Luo, I truly don’t know how to thank you!”

Luo Ming waved his hand, gave a bitter smile, and a look of loneliness appeared on his face:

“In the early years when my father Luo Feng was the leader, he had great ambitions.

Besides leading hunting teams, he often took people to explore and survey surrounding areas, creating this map.

Originally, according to his plan, this map was to be continuously improved by successors until the entire area around Redwood Ridge was fully explored.

Unfortunately, after I succeeded as leader, I was limited in ability, and this map has never been updated.

Now, as I’m leaving, this map is yours.”

The detailed information on the six types of Cold Beasts, a map of the eastern perimeter over three miles in Redwood Ridge, and the costs incurred by Rogel Camp in obtaining these are well-understood by Xia Hong without asking.

From the loneliness on Luo Ming’s face, one can see a bit of it.

Perhaps Luo Ming also once had the thought of inheriting Luo Feng’s grand plans.

But, with the increasingly tough conditions of the camp and the successive setbacks.

Plus, the issue with the Wooden Puppet Monster was the straw that broke the camel’s back.

Ultimately, Luo Ming gave up this idea, and now entrusting these two things to him constitutes his entrustment of the camp and his father’s legacy to him entirely.

Seeing the loneliness in Luo Ming’s eyes, a hesitation flashed across Xia Hong’s face.

He was contemplating whether to try to keep Luo Ming.

Luo Ming saw through Xia Hong’s thoughts and shook his head with a light smile:

“Brother Xia Hong, there’s no need to say more.

I know you have the skills, so I am willing to entrust these things to you.

Were it not for my son, I would not be leaving these people behind!”

Upon hearing this, Xia Hong nodded softly, a sense of relief appeared on his face.

Luo Ming truly intended to leave, and even if he asked him to stay, it wouldn’t necessarily be a good thing for the camp right now.

“Alright, with the camp newly relocated, you have many things to attend to, and I must take my leave now.

The fruiting days of the Ice Trees are just around the corner, and I need to hurry over to keep an eye on things.

If missed, the next opportunity won’t be for another four months.”

After speaking, Luo Ming decisively turned around and entered Redwood Ridge under the cover of night with Shang Ping and the others, along with three Earth-digging Realm, five Logging Realm, and their respective families, apparently planning to pass through Redwood Ridge to go north to the Arrow Bamboo Forest.

Among the three Earth-digging Realm, Li Baihe, who was carrying a bow and arrows, frequently looked back, perhaps wanting to take a few more glances at the camp valley.

Xia Hong watched them leave until the group disappeared from sight, exhaled deeply, and placed the two scrolls into his chest pocket, then turned back to the camp.

Inside the wooden hut at the camp, lively discussions were ongoing.

The topic most discussed by everyone was whether the rules Xia Chuan had just mentioned could truly be implemented and carried out.

Xia Hong didn’t pay attention to the discussions; upon returning to the wooden hut, he first sought out Huang Yong and Hong Gang.

“Leader!”

Upon seeing Xia Hong approach, the two promptly stood up to greet him.

With both camps already agreeing to merge into Great Xia, they naturally dropped the surname in addressing him.

“Gentlemen, there’s no time to delay.

Since Huang Zhao Camp is nearby, I’ll take people over tomorrow night.

Let’s start relocating Huang Zhao Camp’s people first, and the day after that, we’ll move Da Chuan, aiming to solve it in two days swiftly and decisively to avoid any prolonged complications.”

“Yes, Leader, we’ll go back now to prepare!”

Xia Hong nodded and, without waiting for them to leave, walked to the middle of the wooden hut.

Not avoiding anyone’s gaze, he directly retrieved all the buildings from the system and placed them out.

The Iron Melting Furnace, Medicine Decoction Pot, wooden mannequin, and polishing stone, four buildings suddenly appeared in the middle of the wooden hut, and people from the original Great Xia Camp naturally were not surprised.

But those from Rogel Camp, seeing this for the first time, all gathered around immediately, their expressions full of amazement.

“Leader, all the remaining items from Rogel Camp have been inventoried.

There are 3000 pounds of iron ore, 4500 pounds of coal stone, wood from seventeen Golden Frost Trees, over six hundred Red Frost Trees, and also four broadswords and nine bows in the hands of the fifteen from the original Rogel Camp.

Besides these, there are more than twenty iron tools already sorted and ready for inspection.”

Ignoring the astonished crowd nearby, Xia Hong followed Yuan Cheng after hearing his report and walked to the storage area inside the wooden hut to see the tools.
