Chapter 240: Chapter 148: Mysterious Visitor, Deciphering the Cold Resistance Level [Vote for Monthly Pass]
As Yuwen Hu walked away, the entire dense forest fell silent in an instant.
"Leader, didnât you say you hadnât broken through to the Cold Resistance Level?"
Luo Yuan asked with a hint of reproach, causing everyone to turn their heads towards Xia Hong.
Xia Chuan, Yue Feng, and Luo Yuan had almost the same expression, also carrying some reproach.
Evidently, all three believed that Xia Hong had deceived them earlier.
Meanwhile, the other fourteen showed expressions of joy and excitement on their faces.
Being able to face off against Yuwen Hu head-on, and almost even kill him.
If Xia Hong said he hadnât broken through to the Cold Resistance Level, probably no one would believe it.
Watching as everyoneâs eyes shifted from joy to reverence and fervor, Xia Hong subtly shook his head, thought for a moment, and ultimately gave up explaining.
"Pack up the things, letâs head back first!"
Everyone immediately snapped back to reality, looked at the bodies of He Meng and others on the ground, and swiftly showed relaxed and pleased smiles.
"From now on, the Mirror Immortal Camp wonât dare to underestimate us, right!"
"Not only that, they probably wonât dare set foot in Redwood Ridge anymore."
"Not necessarily, the entire hunting team of twenty-five was wiped out, they might react more, we should still be cautious going forward."
"Thatâs right, just because our leader is strong doesnât mean we all are; Mirror Immortal Camp is a giant camp with a large population. If they really bring everyone to fight, it could be a big problem for us."
"What are we afraid of, with the leader here, five wooden mannequins, and torches, even if they bring people to fight, we wonât be afraid at all!"
"The two strongest Cold Resistance Level fighters in their camp couldnât do anything to our leader, what can they do? If itâs really about numbers, at worst we can lure the Cold Beasts over, thereâs no way theyâll bully the Great Xia Camp!"
"Hahaha, youâve got some mischievous ideas."
...
Listening to everyoneâs relaxed discussions, although Xia Hongâs gaze was slightly focused, he felt no worry in his heart, completely at ease.
Yuwen Hu having some speaking power in the Mirror Immortal Camp meant his strength wasnât too far off from that of the leader He Yuanhun.
With a progress of 31, his strength was already close to seventy thousand catties. Once the Reshaping Skin phase is completed, his basic strength would at least be a hundred and fifty thousand.
Normally, a Cold Resistance Levelâs basic strength is just over a hundred thousand; at a progress of over 60, he could basically reach that.
So why should he be afraid!
"Todayâs matter ends here, as long as the Mirror Immortal Camp doesnât cause trouble anymore, I wonât provoke them either. But if they dare to come again..."
Xia Hong looked north, his gaze turning slightly cold.
Expanding the Great Xiaâs population, the fastest way is obviously annexing other camps.
If this Mirror Immortal Camp dares to keep causing problems, he wouldnât mind directly swallowing up a giant camp with over five thousand population.
Xia Chuan led everyone and quickly gathered up the weapons of He Meng and his group on the ground, as well as the prey they had hunted before, leaving nothing behind.
"Two Snow Mane beasts, one Demon Sheep, twenty-five broadswords, twenty-five sets of bows and arrows, and five Thunder Kui Shields, hahaha, weâre rich!"
Hearing such a bounty, Xia Hong couldnât help but smile.
Not to mention the three hunted beasts; if they hunted them themselves, it would take a tremendous effort, with a possibility of getting injured; those broadswords and bows, considering mining and forging, would take at least several days.
đ»đđŠđŠđžâŻđ·đđ°đâŻđ.đ€đ°đź
But now, they had claimed it all in one night!
Robbery for wealth is indeed an eternal truth.
"The broadswords and bows, their forging craftsmanship and iron usage arenât much different from ours, but the bowstring materials donât seem to be Jiao Tendons?"
At Zhao Longâs words, Xia Hong felt slightly intrigued, received a bow from him, and closely examined the bowstring.
Unlike the half-centimeter diameter Teng Jiao Tendon, this bowstring was made of hundreds or thousands of fine white threads twisted together.
Moreover, these fine threads exuded a faint, almost indiscernible fragrance.
Xia Hong pulled the bowstring with slight force, feeling its resilience was not much different from Jiao Tendon, and his interest waned significantly.
"Bring it back for further study!"
Different camps, due to varying environments, naturally use different materials for making items. In Redwood Ridge, Jiao Tendon is used for bowstrings, but this might not be the case elsewhere.
Everyone nodded, quickly gathering all the supplies on the ground, then allocated a few people to carry the three hunted beasts, and embarked on their journey back.
"So this Thunder Kuiâs skull is used like this, it takes five to make one shield, meaning this shield requires killing five Thunder Kui to craft one, thatâs quite a tall order."
Xia Chuan played with the shield previously used by He Meng and others, contemplated for a moment, and recognized it as Thunder Kuiâs skull.
The last time Xia Hong encountered He Meng in the north, he brought back a Thunder Kui, and when the Camp Supply Station processed it, Xia Chuan was there, which is why he could recognize it.
The head of the Thunder Kui has a bone extending from its body, half a meter long and ten centimeters wide, incredibly hard, indelible by any iron tool.
At that time, Xia Chuan wondered why such a hard material could be of any use, now he knew that five pieces combined make a shield.
Indeed, itâs inconvenient to carry such a big shield when going out, dividing it among five people not only protects vital parts of the body but can also be combined into a shield at crucial moments, surely more appropriate.
