Chapter 17 Dashi Camp
If it weren't for the inappropriate timing, Xia Hong would really praise Xia Chuan.
I was originally worried that my younger brother would be impatient, but I didn't expect him to be so witty.
Judging from the expressions on the faces of Wang Ming and the others.
They should be the only four coming tonight.
Xia Hong narrowed his eyes slightly, stared at the four people, and finally focused on the big knife in Wang Ming's hand, considering whether to keep the four people.
If he dares to come out tonight, he has something to rely on.
However, in Wang Ming's opinion, Xia Hong's sizing gesture meant that he was considering whether to inform Xia Ding to come over.
Wang Ming is not afraid of three people who are so young and working hard.
But if they can't take it within a short period of time, or if the opponent slips away, and they really call Xia Ding and the others over, it will be a fight to the death.
No, if Xia Ding really comes with more than ten people from the logging realm.
Even with this big knife, the four of them would be dead tonight.
Wang Ming thought for a moment and made a decision quickly.
"Two good nephews, there is no need for this. Let's put down the crystal fruit and leave. We will never trespass into Daxia's territory again in the future. Goodbye!"
Wang Ming made his decision and no longer hesitated. He asked his companions to put the picked crystal fruits on the ground, said goodbye, and quickly led the three of them towards the west and evacuated without looking back.
Xia Hong watched the four of them walk away until they disappeared. After a while, he turned back and gave Xia Chuan a thumbs up.
"Good boy, I have you!"
Xia Chuan chuckled and said: "You definitely can't beat them, so you can only pull the tiger's skin to scare them away."
Hearing this, Xia Hong raised his eyebrows slightly, but didn't say anything.
It is obviously unwise to have a head-on conflict with Dashi Camp at the moment.
Shan Xia Ding and the logging team have been in trouble for more than a month. They have not appeared in Redwood Ridge for such a long time. People at Dashi Camp must have discovered it.
Otherwise, we wouldn’t dare conduct such blatant cross-border searches.
If it had been longer, there's no guarantee they wouldn't have guessed something else.
The previous three times when Xia Hong met them, there were more than seven people in total, so he could only tolerate it.
But tonight, only four people came from the other side, and there were no archers.
Of course Xia Hong would not miss such a great opportunity.
I believe that after this experience, the people in Dashi Camp will not be so rampant in the future.
"But we still have to find a way to let Yue Feng and the others break through as soon as possible. This kind of bluff can only be used once or twice at most. If it is used too much, it will be exposed."
Xia Chuan and Yuan Cheng had already carried the crystal fruit on their backs. They felt that it weighed over a thousand kilograms, and smiles suddenly appeared on their faces.
It's my first time to go out, and it's really worth being happy to have such a harvest.
"Okay, remember the location of the third Bingshuo tree. Then follow me to chop down the tree. Tonight, you two will chop down one tree each."
The two of them quickly agreed and quickly followed Xia Hong.
………………
To the east of Redwood Ridge and to the north of the slope where the Great Summer Camp is located, there is a straight hill about a hundred meters high.
The hill is in the shape of a vertical tower, about fifty or sixty meters long. The top is completely covered with snow. Only the trees extending out of the middle are suppressed by snowflakes. The rest of the mountain is made of black stones.
Those stones were not only black, but also covered with a thick layer of crystals, which were obviously frozen by the cold air over many years.
On the east side of the mountain, a long rattan hangs.
At this moment, there are four figures climbing up quickly on the vine.
Although it was more than 100 meters high, the four of them moved quickly and climbed to the top of the mountain within a few minutes.
The top of the mountain is a platform fifty meters wide without a single tree
After the four people reached the top of the mountain, they walked straight to the middle and uncovered a patch of snow-covered ground. A five-meter-wide square wooden board suddenly came into view.
The leader opened the wooden board with ease and skill, and there was a hole three meters in diameter underneath, and a flash of fire suddenly appeared in the hole.
The four people jumped into the cave one after another. The person who went down last took the wooden board with him and covered the entrance of the cave again.
Under the entrance of the cave, there is actually a very large square space with a diameter of more than thirty meters.
Moreover, this space is a full thirty or forty meters from the top to the ground, with a layer of wood and stones in the middle.
On the stone ground, a bonfire more than two meters high was burning.
There were three to four hundred people surrounding the bonfire, talking and laughing. There were also a few children playing around.
The people here are obviously much better in spirit than those in Daxia.
As soon as the four people jumped down, someone from the crowd immediately came up to them with a smile.
However, when he got closer, he saw that there was nothing in the hands of the four people, and the man suddenly looked confused.
"Old Wang, why did you come back empty-handed?"
"Don't mention the bad luck. Where is the boss? I have something to tell him."
"Practice archery on the ground floor."
"Okay, let's go there first."
After Wang Ming said a few words, he quickly walked to the east side of the cave.
The stone wall on the east side extended slightly toward the bottom. Wang Ming walked down the slope and soon reached the bottom of the cave.
The ground floor is not much different from the upper space. There is also a bonfire, but it is smaller than the one above.
There are two people next to the bonfire, facing a wooden board against the wall, holding bows and shooting arrows.
"Boss, there's a situation over at Redwood Ridge."
After hearing Wang Ming's words, the two of them put down their bows and arrows at the same time and turned to look at him.
Both of them were middle-aged and of similar build. Both were thin and their hands holding the bow were calloused.
Not only the body shape, but even the appearance are similar.
However, the man on the left has an inch-long scar across his face. With his fierce expression and slightly dark face, he looks full of evil.
The one on the right is three points whiter than the former, and his face is also very kind.
Wang Ming approached the man on the right directly.
Obviously the boss in his mouth is the one on the right.
Seeing Wang Ming approaching, the man narrowed his eyes slightly and asked in a calm tone:
"What's going on?"
"I just went to the outer area to pick crystal fruits and met three people from Daxia."
"Old tripod?"
"No, it's his two sons."
Hearing Wang Ming's answer, Shi Qing was stunned for a moment, then looked in disbelief, and asked: "Lao Ding's two sons, are you sure?"
Wang Ming thought for a moment, nodded and affirmed: "I'm sure, I can see those two boys clearly. They look very similar to Lao Ding, and they are of the same age. They must be his sons."
"How old are his two sons? Where can those thirteen people from Daxia get the extra cold beast meat to train his two sons?"
Shi Dong, who had been silent until now, suddenly exclaimed.
But after saying that, he turned around and realized that his eldest brother Shi Qing's face had become a little ugly.
Although Shi Dong has a grumpy personality, he is not stupid and immediately realized the key.
"Brother, are you suspicious that Lao Ding and the others took advantage of that Snow Mane last time?"
Wang Ming slapped his forehead fiercely and suddenly realized: "Yes, that must be the case. The thirteen people in Daxia are far inferior to us in strength. In these years, they can only rely on luck to pick up some cold beast corpses. They don't practice enough on their own. Where? There is still a lot of cold beast meat for the two sons, it must be the Snow Mane.”
The three of them reached a consensus, and their expressions suddenly became extremely ugly.
The last time they hunted that snowmane, they had paid a total of three lives, and the one holding the knife was Shi Kong, Shi Qing's third brother.
In the end, he fled in a hurry and found nothing.
Now that I know that I was taken advantage of by the Great Summer Camp, you can imagine how I feel.
Not only did they get a bargain, it was even possible that the last time they hunted that Snowmane, the people in the Great Summer Camp had been hiding in the dark.
After they ran away, they came out and took advantage.
"How dare you play such a dirty trick behind your back? I will go to Redwood Ridge in a few days and I will personally lead the team. I want to see what kind of strength Daxia is now."
Shi Qing's tone was solemn, and his originally kind face suddenly became much darker.
The faces of Shi Dong and Wang Ming next to them were even more furious.
