Endless Winter: My Camp Upgrades Infinitely

Chapter 1560: Chapter 490: Meticulous Plan, Taking Action

West of the Milk Tiger Forest, about twenty kilometers deep into Redwood Ridge

Under the night sky, snowflakes filled the air, and the cold wind howled.

A hunting team was searching for prey amidst the snow forest.

The hunting team consisted of over twenty people, with five in the center, and the rest spread out around them in groups of three, searching as they moved.

This way of advancing to improve search efficiency was not uncommon in Great Xia.

However, at this depth of Redwood Ridge, not many dared to use this search method—usually only advanced hunting teams had the courage.

Whish……

When the team reached a small slope, a group of three on the northern side, a middle-aged man in black suddenly raised his bow and shot an arrow towards the top of the small slope.

“Brother Zhou, did you find something?”

The other two noticed the man in black shooting and immediately asked.

The man in black first scrutinized it, then shook his head and said, “It was a reflective stone, I mistook it for a Snow Mane lying on the top.”

The other two saw the glowing boulder on the slope and smiled.

There was indeed a stone on the slope, about three meters long and two meters wide, with ice hanging around the side. The ice was so long that it almost extended in the opposite direction, indeed resembling a low-level Snow Mane lying on the ground from afar.

“We’ve come this deep; even if it were a real Snow Mane, it wouldn’t be worth our effort. Let’s continue searching forward!”

The man in black nodded and continued walking with the other two until they were about a hundred meters away from the slope, then turned for a glance, a shadow passing through his pupils.

And when this hunting team moved far away, about fifty breaths later, a gust of wind blew, and suddenly, a black figure carrying a long spear appeared on the slope.

The person pulled out the iron arrow stuck in the boulder, crushed the tail of the iron arrow, and inside, there was a white note rolled up to the size of a thin needle.

After reading the note, the black-clad person’s pupils suddenly lit up, turned first to glance towards Xia City, and then directly ascended into the air, heading deeper into Redwood Ridge.

The black-clad person quickly swept westward for over ten kilometers and found a small stone peak over a hundred meters high. He landed on the peak, effortlessly found a concealed cave entrance, pushed aside the cover at the entrance, and walked straight in.

“Sanlang, is there news?”

Inside the inconspicuous concealed cave, there was indeed a bonfire, and it held 23 people, divided into two groups, 12 on the left and 11 on the right. Seeing the black-clad person enter, everyone immediately stood up.

The white-haired elder on the left opened his mouth to ask, and as the others saw the smile on the black-clad person’s face with the help of the firelight, they immediately realized something, their expressions also becoming slightly excited.

The man in black slowly raised his head, revealing a slightly imperious face, who was indeed Yang Zhun, the Beishuo Lord who had dealt with Xia Hong several times.

Of course, after a trip to the feudal town, Xia Hong had already guessed that it was actually Yang Jian, the least famous of the Yang brothers, who had been dealing with him over the years. Based on the elder’s earlier use of the name Sanlang, it wasn’t hard to guess this person’s identity.

Yang Jian did not answer the elder on the left but first noticed the eleven on the right, whose expressions were somewhat resentful. After contemplating for a moment, he cupped his fists and bowed to the crowd, saying, “Thank you all, lords, for accompanying Yang Jian in this bitter wait for more than two months. I hereby express my gratitude on behalf of the Northern Three Towns!”

The people on the left showed no expression, while the eleven on the right had their expressions relax slightly upon hearing Yang Jian’s words.

Of course, not entirely!

Among the eleven on the right, a young man in green standing at the front had a consistently gloomy expression, unaffected by Yang Jian’s words, and even couldn’t help but angrily retort, “Enough! Yang Jian, stop with the chattiness. Is there news of that woman’s offspring or not?”

Detecting the impatience in Cai Shiqi’s tone, Yang Jian’s brow furrowed slightly, instinctively glanced at his right index finger, then snickered inwardly, ignoring him, raised his head to the others, and nodded deeply, “Tonight, during the Milk Tiger Forest trial, Xia Hong’s close attendants, the Dragon Forbidden Captains, have all been dispatched. The vehicle of his son, Xia Yusheng, the Red Flame Vermilion Bird, has just left the north gate!”

The entire crowd was startled upon hearing this.

Heaven does not disappoint those who strive; after waiting for more than two months, they’ve finally encountered an opportunity!

“Then what are we waiting for? Let’s go capture that boy.”

“As long as we capture Xia Yusheng, the problem of the sixty thousand Xia Army in the north can immediately be resolved…”

“It’s definitely more than that. Xia Hong, being young, only has this single heir. As long as we control him, we can make a big fuss.”

“Right, right, he and Li Xuanling have only this one son.”

…………

Seeing everyone’s reaction so excited, Yang Jian showed no surprise, because when he received the intelligence from the spy just now, his inner excitement was no less than anyone else.

They, twenty-four of Xianyang Level, had endured this remote mountain cave for more than two months, and the grievances inside them at this moment were imaginable.

“Please, everyone, calm down…”

Yang Jian did not agree with immediately setting off as suggested by everyone but first gently interrupted them, pausing before continuing: “The many mysterious aspects of Xia City, I have already explained to you all before, outsiders are always under their surveillance with no chance to sneak in unnoticed.

According to the spy’s message, the monitoring range is limited to Xia City, but it can now be confirmed that’s false information…”
