Endless Winter: My Camp Upgrades Infinitely

Chapter 375: Chapter 186 White Bear, Mountain River Team, Stranger_3

”Seven days ago, Lord’s Cloud Jiao Team hunted an Intermediate Blue Moon Elf, reportedly earning thirty-five thousand contribution points, with each team member getting over a thousand points.”

”I know about that, and five days ago, Lord Chief’s Dragon Wu Team also hunted a Low-level Frost Electric Ape, earning over 3000 points, almost equivalent to an Intermediate Cold Beast’s contribution value.”

”If this White Bear is really the first one, it should be worth at least three to four hundred; wouldn’t we also earn three to four thousand points in one go?”

”Hahaha, that’s great!”

...

Seeing everyone getting more and more excited, as if the contribution points were already in their hands, Yue Feng shook his head, finally unable to resist speaking:

”What are you thinking? Do we have the strength to be the first? If it weren’t for our thorough understanding today, do you think our team could have directly killed this White Bear?”

Everyone froze upon hearing this, recalling the hunting process just now, realizing that Yue Feng had a certain understanding of the White Bear, and their excitement diminished significantly.

”At the beginning of this month, Luo Yuan’s Tiger Leopard Team had already brought back a White Bear, back when our Mountain River Team hadn’t even been formed!”

Tiger Leopard Team, Luo Yuan.

Everyone’s expression changed upon hearing the name, nodding slightly.

Currently, there are twenty-three Hunting Teams in Great Xia, and across the entire camp, each is undoubtedly a focus of attention;

But in their Earth-digging Realm circle, everyone’s eyes are mainly fixed on the Cloud Jiao, Dragon Wu, and Tiger Leopard teams.

The reason is simple, because for the past month, these three teams have consistently occupied the top positions in the hunting merit rankings, forming the first-tier echelon.

”The Tiger Leopard Team is now ranked third, and I remember their merit points for this month have reached over 13,000, assuming an average of 300 points per Low-level Cold Beast, they’ve already hunted over 40, clicking the tongue...”

”Not just Low-level Cold Beasts, but also the reward for the first kill.”

”Our team, this month, counting this White Bear, only seventeen heads.”

”First and second are even more formidable. I checked last night, Lord’s Cloud Jiao Team has accumulated over 52,000 merit points. Even excluding the 35,000 for that Intermediate Blue Moon Elf, they still have 17,000 points, which translates to over fifty Low-level Cold Beasts, isn’t that outrageous?”

”Yuwen Sizheng’s Dragon Wu Team...”

...

Listening to everyone’s discussion, Yue Feng couldn’t help but feel a strong sense of urgency amidst his admiration.

”The Lord and Yuwen Dao are both straining to become the first Intermediate Hunting Team in Great Xia, it’s just a matter of who can take the lead!”

As the team leader in the Hunting Department, he naturally knew more than ordinary team members.

With the department’s restructuring less than a month and a half ago, the emergence of an Intermediate Hunting Team was imminent, and his own Mountain River Team had only hunted seventeen Cold Beasts so far, how could Yue Feng not feel the pressure?

”Pack up; we’ll first return to Jing Valley for a break before heading back to camp tonight!”

Upon hearing they would be returning, everyone’s spirits lifted significantly.

”Finally, we can go back.”

”It’s been three days since we last returned.”

”There are still seven hunts in Jing Valley, plus this White Bear; we should be able to gain plenty of contribution value on this trip back.”

”After braving the elements for so many days, it’ll be good to have a proper rest back home.”

...

To efficiently scout the Arrow Bamboo Forest, Yue Feng had led his team of nineteen to directly reside in Mirror Valley, only returning once every three days.

Living truly outside, everyone came to appreciate just how good the valley base was.

One would think Jing Valley wasn’t really bad either, with houses, coal stoves, tools... all sorts of supplies left behind when Mirror Immortal Camp moved over, basically having everything, but living here, just couldn’t compare to the comfort and security of the valley.

Knowing they would go back tonight, everyone’s mood naturally soared, and the speed of withdrawal significantly increased.

Before leaving, Yue Feng climbed to the top of a bamboo, roughly observed the surrounding terrain, then took out a Beast Skin Roll, sketched with a coal pencil before satisfactorily jumping down.

”Thirty-one kilometers, the Arrow Bamboo Forest stretches seventy kilometers from east to west; we’ve already explored nearly half. Continuing systematically like this, it shouldn’t take much longer to fully scout!”

Mirror Immortal Camp had previously scouted twenty kilometers, and the map brought back by Yuwen Dao had detailed records, so their starting point was from the twenty-kilometer depth.

In these nine days, Yue Feng had led the team eleven kilometers eastward.

Achievements were indeed impressive!

Li Yuankun’s injuries had almost healed, and he excitedly said, ”Eleven kilometers, other teams couldn’t have scouted so far; barring any surprises, the person in charge of Jing Valley should be you, Captain.”

Upon hearing this, Yue Feng hesitated slightly and said, ”Not necessarily, I’m not really afraid of others, but I’m a bit worried about Hong Tian, Zhu Ling, Zhu Yuan, and Meng Yi’s four teams, they’re much stronger than us. If they also focus on exploring, they might not be worse than us.”

Li Yuankun’s expression turned serious, nodding slightly.

All four of them have advanced cultivation in the Earth-digging Realm and have started using Beast Blood; in terms of strength, they are much stronger than Yue Feng. If they’re equally aggressive, they might not be easy to surpass.

”Let’s just do our best; I believe I’ve tried hard enough. If we lose in the end, there’s nothing we can do. Jing Valley is originally their home ground; it would be quite fit to let them be in charge of this base.”

After speaking, Yue Feng’s eyebrows tightened slightly, clearly not as calm inside as he appeared.

The group quickly left the north of the Arrow Bamboo Forest, heading towards Jing Valley a kilometer away, which was the original base of Mirror Immortal Camp.

Last month’s battle had primarily been destructive to the inhabitants of Mirror Immortal Camp; the damage to buildings and camp layouts wasn’t severe.

Aside from the main building previously occupied by He Yuanhun and two other wooden houses being utterly demolished, the rest of the structures were intact, with even the interiors largely untouched.

Having stayed here for two nights, everyone was naturally familiar with the place. After descending a southern passage, they headed directly to the wooden house where they previously stayed.

But they hadn’t gone halfway when Yue Feng, at the forefront, suddenly frowned while looking at the snow-covered ground and abruptly halted.

”Move those two into the house; the rest spread out, prepare torches and Solidified Fire Oil, and see if it’s people or something else...”

The people in the rear heard the voice and, following Yue Feng’s sight, noticed additional footprints in the snow, their pupils contracted, and they quickly moved to action as deployed.

The two injured were placed in a nearby wooden house, while the remaining seventeen scattered to begin their search.

In the Ice Abyss World, it snows constantly, quickly covering footprints with snow, removing any trace. To leave such clear footprints, whoever made them couldn’t be far, and it’s quite possible they’re hiding in the camp.

”Hehehe...”

”We hit the jackpot, so much Beast Meat, just picking it up for free.”

”Let’s hurry back, so much stuff, got a steal, hahaha!”

......

Laughter echoed from the front, and Yue Feng, along with the others intending to spread out, immediately halted.

”No need to look, everyone come back!”

The voice came from the house where they had previously stayed, so the reason for the other’s delight was not hard to guess.

”Damn it, they dare touch our prey.”

Before Yue Feng could react, Li Yuankun and a few others couldn’t hold back anymore and charged directly toward the wooden house.

”Everyone go, leave one person here to watch over the two injured.”

Yue Feng did not stop them. If they were people, then everything was negotiable.

Those seven hunts were something they had worked hard for, braving the elements for three days. Li Yuankun and a few others were angry, and so was he.

The seventeen approached the wooden house and saw someone entering and exiting, carrying Cold Beasts one by one, causing their faces to instantly turn cold.

”What are you carrying?”

”Who are you!”

A low shout from Yue Feng caused the opposing group to immediately become vigilant.

The seven people outside immediately put down the Cold Beasts they were holding and grabbed their weapons.

At the same time, sixteen people rushed out from inside, each wielding weapons and glaring angrily at Yue Feng’s approaching group.

”I asked, what are you carrying!”

With the second inquiry, Yue Feng’s tone grew increasingly low as he spoke while raising his Iron Core Bow, nocking an Iron Arrow, directly aiming at the middle-aged man at the forefront of the group.

Of course, as he moved, Li Yuankun and the remaining sixteen also swiftly completed the bow-drawing and arrow-nocking action, all aiming at the other group.

Seventeen on one side, twenty-three on the other.

Even though Yue Feng’s side had fewer people, their posture appeared much higher, and even the look when drawing their arrows carried a clear sense of disdain.
