Chapter 296: Chapter 163: Almost Annihilated, The Mystery of Gao Yu_2
Xia Hongās massacre of the Earth-digging Realm at the Mirror Immortal Camp did not shock them, after all, Xia Hong had done this once before.
But He Gang was different. He had fought with that Intermediate Cold Beast, with a strength only slightly inferior to He Meng. Everyone knew he was a genuine Cold Resistance Level strongman.
Even if his strength was suppressed by the Iron Refining Furnace, his basic strength was far beyond what they could compare.
Yet such a person couldnāt even withstand a single move from Xia Hong!
Until then, everyone in Great Xia realized how terrifying Xia Hongās strength was after emerging from seclusion.
Realizing this, excitement filled everyoneās hearts as they looked at Xia Hong with faces full of reverence and fervor, even the children were no exception.
In contrast to everyoneās reaction in Great Xia, He Meng was completely bewildered.
From hearing He Gang telling him to run quickly to seeing He Gang killed, it all happened in just two breaths.
After all, Xia Hong hadnāt even drawn his blade, only bumped with his shoulder.
In two breaths, he couldnāt even turn to run away, he was still bewildered as to why He Gang told him to flee.
Of course, with He Gang being killed in one blow, this confusion was resolved.
Xia Hongās strength was unexpectedly at such a level.
"Run..."
Snapping out of his daze, this word was all He Meng had left in his mind.
Too bad it was already too late!
Xia Hong didnāt even pursue him; after knocking He Gang away, he merely turned his head to look at him, wielding the Yi Blade like a Long Spear, he hurled it fiercely.
Swoosh...
The Yi Blade flew through the air, trailing a sharp cold edge in the night, piercing straight into the back of He Mengās head, then coming out from his left eye.
"Ah!"
Nailed to the western mountain wall by the Yi Blade, He Meng let out a scream before his head suddenly burst into flames, and within moments, it was burned to black smoke, completely dissipating into the valley.
A shoulder bump, a toss of the Yi Blade, and two Cold Resistance Levels died just like that.
Since when did Cold Resistance Levels become so worthless?
"Gulp..."
Xia Chuan and all the Earth-digging Realm from Great Xia couldnāt help but swallow a mouthful of saliva.
In the crowd, young Luo An stood by his father Luo Yuan, clutching his small fist tightly, full of excitement, and his eyes were filled with fervor and admiration as he looked at Xia Hong.
Earlier when He Meng wanted to kill him, he also threw a dagger at him.
Thinking that He Meng also felt the same despair he had just experienced, Luo An was somewhat relieved, but more importantly, a thirst for strength grew in his heart.
"Father, I want to become as strong as the leader in the future!"
Hearing his sonās tender yet firm voice, Luo Yuan patted him on the head, his eyes also full of hope, and said softly, "There will be such a day."
With He Gang and He Meng dead, the remaining people at the Mirror Immortal Camp naturally posed no threat.
Without the need for Xia Chuan and others to take action, Xia Hong used the Hundred-stone Iron Embryo Bow given to him by Mu Dong, firing dozens of Iron Arrows in succession, hitting all the remaining enemies with precision, and all hitting fatal spots like the eyes.
Screams echoed continuously, and as more than thirty fireballs blazed up, all the Earth-digging Realm dispatched from the Mirror Immortal Camp tonight, along with the four Intermediate Cold Beasts, were completely annihilated, except for He Yuanhun who escaped.
"Big brother!"
"Leader..."
"Leader."
...
Xia Hong walked slowly toward everyone, first reaching out to pat Xia Chuan on the shoulder, then turning to look at the others.
Luo Yuan, Yuan Cheng, and other members of the Hunting Team;
All the recently breakthrough Earth-digging Realm;
The over five hundred Logging Realm individuals who were just barely holding on the first floor;
šš«šššØššÆšš ššš.šš¼š
Including Lin Wan, Shi Lu, and other Logging Realm women who had been resolutely protecting the children.
And all the children who behaved themselves tonight, not causing any trouble for the camp.
Xia Hong glanced around at everyone in the camp, finally resting his gaze on Luo Yuanās son, Luo An, his eyes showing a touch of emotion, and after standing silently for a long time, he finally spoke slowly:
"The matter of Mirror Immortal Camp is completely over, Mu Dong, gather people to tidy up the camp, Xia Chuan and all other Earth-digging Realm, prepare to go to the Mirror Immortal Camp base with me!"
Upon hearing Xia Hongās words, a hint of surprise appeared on everyoneās faces.
They thought tonightās affair had already come to an end here.
Xia Hong still intended to take people to the Mirror Immortal Campās base.
This was a real plan to permanently resolve the trouble of the Mirror Immortal Camp.
"All Earth-digging Realm, hurry to pack up, gather at the mouth of the valley!"
With enthusiasm filling their hearts, Xia Chuan, who was the first to react, had already begun calling all Earth-digging Realm people to prepare.
At Xia Chuanās words, all the Earth-digging Realm, including members of the Hunting Team like Luo Yuan, immediately moved upon hearing, returning to the log cabinsā ruins to prepare.
Seeing this scene, Xia Hongās expression shifted slightly.
The most outstanding performance in this disaster, one could say, was Xia Chuan.
Leading the campās people through meticulous planning and preparation in the early stages;
Calm under pressure during the Cold Beast tide;
Step-by-step tactical command and response;
Especially in the end, the great fire on the west side of the valley that drove all the Cold Beasts away.
He had been secretly observing throughout the night, with countless instances where he wanted to directly step out and resolve the crisis for the camp, but Xia Chuan kept surprising him.
Even Xia Hong didnāt expect him to lead everyone to accomplish this.
No, Xia Hong introspected that under the same strength level, even he might not perform as well as Xia Chuan if he was in his place.
The person who performed the best naturally received visible benefits.
If before tonight, Xia Chuanās high status in everyoneās mind in Great Xia was largely due to his relationship with him as the leaderās brother.
