Chapter 18 Try Hunting
At Dashi Camp, why can we be sure that Xue Mane was picked up by Da Xia?
The reason is simple, because the camps around Redwood Ridge are too weak.
There is only one company that can truly stably hunt and obtain the flesh and blood of cold beasts, and that is Camp Rogge, which has five digger-level experts.
As for the rest of the camps, if they want cold beast flesh and blood, they can only rely on luck, other than using a large amount of wood crystals or other scarce resources to buy from the Rogge camp.
The so-called luck, to put it bluntly, is picking up the corpses of cold beasts in the woods.
Cold beasts like to eat living things. Generally, after defeating other cold beasts, they will stop eating until the opponent dies, so there is a high probability that as long as you can encounter them, you will definitely gain something.
But how many opportunities are there?
Maybe there are many corpses of cold beasts in the depths of Redwood Ridge, but the problem is that they don't dare to go in. On the outside, if they can pick them up once or twice a year, it's considered a high incense.
Moreover, Daxia, who has been a neighbor for many years and is also in a small camp, knows how much they have.
Generally speaking, the limited cold beast meat must be given to the members of the logging team first, and only the excess portion will be given to the juniors.
Therefore, there is no doubt that the snow mane must have been picked up by Daxia.
…………
Xia Hong was naturally unaware of the grudge held in the Dashi camp.
After driving away the other party that night and taking Xia Chuan and Yuan Cheng to cut down a tree each, the camp entered a relatively peaceful period of development.
As the three of them went out every night, the camp's reserves of wood and crystal fruits increased rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye.
The weight of the crystal fruit increased from 7,000 kilograms to 12,000 kilograms.
Based on the 154 people in the camp, the average person is one kilogram per day. Even if they don't go out, these crystal fruits are enough for more than two months.
As for wood, the number has increased from 87 units to 210 units.
Food and heating are guaranteed.
The vitality of the camp naturally gradually recovered.
Although the entrance to the cave still had to be sealed at night, at least there was no need to starve or freeze.
But while others were happy, Xia Hong knew very well that the camp was only initially restored to the state it was in before the logging team was killed.
When Xia Ding was still there, there was no shortage of crystal fruits and wood in the camp.
For a small camp like Daxia, the scarcest resource is cold beast meat.
Without cold beast meat, one cannot cultivate and become stronger.
Maintain the status quo, and eventually either be discovered by a cold beast or a strange monster, and what happened before will happen again.
And the crystal fruits are not inexhaustible. They have already picked all the crystal fruits on the three ice trees, and they don’t know when they will ripen next.
If the existing crystal fruits are eaten up, and the three trees have not yet produced fruit, they will still starve. Even without the crystal fruits as their only food source, they may starve to death.
Redwood Ridge, of course, has more than just the three ice trees.
Xia Hong believed that there must be thicker and bigger ice trees deep in the jungle that bear more fruits, but the problem was that he did not dare to go in at all.
So the crux is still the cold beast meat.
The thirty kilograms of cold beast meat for Yue Feng and the others have been used up.
The five people have made great progress, but they are still far from breaking through the logging realm.
Xia Hong's hundred kilograms of cold beast meat was gone.
Although his strength has improved a lot, it is still far from the digging level.
"If I can't continue to get stronger, let alone the small fire, I can't upgrade a lot of other buildings in the system.
You have to find a way to hunt, even if you take some risks, it's worth it! ”
The camp system currently only has one small fire. Upgrading the small fire from level one to level two costs 200 wood and 50 iron.
There is certainly no shortage of wood now.
But resources like iron have no strength, and even contact is delusional.
"Chuan, Cheng, let's go out tonight, let's try hunting!"
One night before nightfall, Xia Chuan and Yuan Cheng, who were preparing to go out, suddenly opened their eyes in excitement when they heard Xia Hong's words.
In fact, the two of them had already seen Han Beast during their many outings.
Of course, it was the cold beast sleeping on the tree. The two of them had mentioned several times before that they wanted to try hunting the cold beast, but Xia Hong refused because the cold beast was too powerful.
Now, Xia Hong actually offered to try hunting.
"Don't get excited so early. I told you that the cold beast is very strong, so this time, it's just an attempt. It's still the same as before. You must listen to me outside. Daxia currently only has the strength of the two of you in the logging realm. , I don’t want anything to happen to you two, understand?”
The two of them could certainly hear the seriousness in Xia Hong's tone and nodded hurriedly.
After Xia Hong explained to the two of them, he took out two small torches from behind and held one for each person.
The two took the torch, their eyes suddenly lit up, and they vaguely understood something.
"Chief, you want to use torches to attract cold beasts and let them kill each other like you did before, so we can reap the benefits, right?"
Xia Hong had already told the two of them the function of the small torch.
Xia Chuan and Yuan Cheng reacted so quickly, which was also expected by Xia Hong.
"Yes, so it's an attempt, it all depends on luck!"
Xia Hong felt a little helpless. Using a small torch to attract the cold beast was actually a waste of natural resources.
The function of a small torch is the same as that of a small fire, which is to intimidate and kill monsters.
In layman's terms, the small torch should be a high-end item, which can be seen from Han Beast's obsession with it.
However, the current strength of the Great Summer Camp is too weak, and they cannot be contacted at all, and they dare not contact creatures such as strange monsters, so they can only be used to attract cold beasts.
Moreover, if it attracts a cold beast, it will be of no use.
Two heads must be attracted, and they must fight to the death.
The fight is not over yet, one of them must fall down or be seriously injured.
Only then would they be able to harvest prey.
This kind of hunting method is too harsh and is destined to be extremely inefficient.
But this is the only way Xia Hong can think of at the moment.
There is no other way!
As soon as night fell, Xia Hong led the two of them quickly towards Redwood Ridge.
After all, the area within the Daxia camp's sphere of influence is only five to six hundred meters.
After so many days, Xia Hong and the others have already figured it out clearly.
Generally speaking, there are not many cold beasts in the periphery. There are only four cold beasts that are confirmed and witnessed.
There were two snow-maned heads, a frost wolf, and one that looked like a goat. Xia Hong didn't recognize them, and he didn't remember Xia Ding mentioning them before.
"I don't know the strength of that goat, so I won't touch it for the time being. Judging from the last situation, Frost Wolf and Snowmane are similar in strength, so the target this time is still on these two."
After finding the tree where the Snow Mane and Frost Wolf were respectively entrenched, Xia Hong found a spot between them. He first inserted the torch into it, and then asked Yuan Cheng and Xia Chuan to dig out the snow fifty meters away from the torch. pit.
It was the same as last time. After lighting the torch, the three people quickly dispersed and hid in their own snow pits, quietly observing the torch.
Xia Hong was still a little nervous, after all, the situation was different.
The Snowmane last time was a baby, and it was still blind and seriously injured.
This time it was different.
They had observed before that the Snowmane and Frostwolf on these two trees were both adult sizes, and in their prime state, he didn't know what would happen in a fight.
In sharp contrast to him, Yuan Cheng and Xia Chuan were not only not nervous, but their eyes exposed on the snow were full of excitement.
After all, it was the first time for the two of them to see the cold beast.
Although the thoughts of the three people are different, time is always passing.
The effectiveness of the torch indeed lived up to Xia Hong's expectations.
It had only been lit for two minutes.
From the west side, there was a dull and heavy sound of animal hooves.
Bang...bang...bang...
