Chapter 155: Mirror Immortal’s murderous intention, who was wronged?
Redwood Ridge still looks like the same frost that has remained unchanged for thousands of years.
The huge trees seemed to be made of ice, and the patches of ground separated by them were also covered with white velvet. The moonlight projected onto the ground through the branches of the trees was absorbed by the snow, leaving no trace.
The surroundings were completely silent, and the occasional movement caused by the wind and snow was extremely obvious.
"Why do you five, your clothes look thicker than others?"
Xia Hong, who was walking in front of the team, looked back at Xu Ning and Lin Kai, who were obviously one size larger than the others. Then he glanced at everyone and found that Qiu Peng, Zhu Shun, and Zou Yuankai were the same, and he immediately asked curiously.
When everyone in the hunting team heard this, they all had smiles on their faces.
However, the five Xu Ning people who were named were a little embarrassed.
"Chief, the five of them are all wearing something!"
Seeing Xia Hong turning to look at him, Xu Ning took off his shirt.
Under his black cloak, there was no lining, but a thick double-sided light golden double-sided leather armor.
"This is, Lei Kuipi?"
Xia Hong stepped forward and touched it, and immediately recognized the material of the leather armor. Then he turned to look at the chests of Lin Kai and the others, and immediately understood why the four of them had embarrassed expressions.
"Didn't I tell my eldest brother last time that Mu Dong used Lei Kui skin to make five pairs of leather armors? We have tried them all. This leather armor can prevent most of the bows and arrows fired from the Digging Realm. Now I have I just left it alone and put it on for the five of them. Of course, I have to pay the rent!”
As soon as Xia Chuan spoke, the others couldn't help but chuckle.
Lin Kai couldn't help but said: "I said, this leather armor should be worn by you. The five of us who finally broke through are not strong enough..."
"Hahaha, it's just that I'm not strong enough, so I gave you these clothes!"
…………
The five Xu Nings who were the last to break through were given special care.
The five Lin Kais were embarrassed, not because they felt humiliated, but because they obviously thought that they were not strong enough to use such a good thing, and felt that this leather armor should be used by someone with stronger strength.
Seeing the five people being teased by everyone, Xia Hong couldn't help but chuckle twice, with a look of approval in his eyes.
Unity is not just talk. Worshiping the strong is nothing. Taking care of the weak can better reflect the cohesion of a camp.
Lin Kai, Xu Ning, and Qiu Peng were the first people of Daxia; Zou Yuankai was the first Luoge person; and Zhu Shun was the first person of Huang Zhao.
The hunting team happens to be the most representative microcosm of the camp.
It can be seen from everyone's behavior that after more than half a year, all members of Daxia have completed complete integration.
"By the way, aren't there still twenty-five pieces of Lei Kui head armor?"
Thinking of the gains from killing He Meng's group before, Xia Hong asked again.
Xia Chuan replied: "The skull has been studied by Mu Dong. People like He Meng and others are carrying it with them. It takes five people to form one piece. We don't think it is troublesome, so we just don't bring it."
That’s right!
Although the armor has strong defensive power, it comes in small pieces, which is really inconvenient to carry. Moreover, if you want to quickly put together a shield like He Meng and others, you will definitely have to spend a lot of time practicing coordination. .
I hope Mu Dong’s research can bring some surprises!
Unknowingly, Xia Hong had led everyone to the northernmost edge of Redwood Ridge.
After only briefly patrolling the outer area, Xia Hong's expression immediately darkened.
The others followed him and observed the whole journey, and their expressions became the same as his.
“There’s something wrong with the number of low-level cold beasts!”
"There are also many traces of activity on the snow."
"The people from the Mirror Immortal Camp are still coming?"
"The high probability is that there is no one else except them."
…………
Sure enough, Jingxian Camp turned a deaf ear to his words.
Xia Hong was naturally a little annoyed at being looked down upon in this way.
But compared with anger, he was more confused at the moment!
Judging from the continued invasion of Redwood Ridge, Jingxian Camp obviously did not take their warning to heart, or to put it more bluntly, they have not taken Daxia Camp seriously yet.
So if that's the case, why don't you just come and take revenge directly?
A large group of people like He Meng died, but the other party did not come to take revenge for six days in a row, and just continued to come to Redwood Ridge as if no one was around.
This behavior seems weird no matter how you look at it!
It is true that no one from Daxia went out in the past six days, but Daxia's station has always been over the valley. If they want to take revenge, they can do so.
It is impossible to find the Daxia station.
Not to mention the two cold-resistant level experts, there are hundreds of burrowing realms. You can easily find them just by wandering around the outskirts of Redwood Ridge.
Not to mention that Lu He, the leader of Lu Shang's camp, had been to the valley before, but now their entire camp has been merged into Jingxian.
Xia Hong was almost sure that the Jingxian camp must know the location of Daxia's station.
In this way, it becomes even more strange!
Not only Xia Hong, Xia Chuan, Luo Yuan and others were also frowning at this moment, obviously thinking about it with him, and they were unable to figure out the motives of the Jingxian camp.
"Could it be that they are planning to tolerate the murder of He Meng and others as a reason to force us to completely give up this area in the north to them?"
As soon as Luo Yuan opened his mouth, the others immediately fell into deep thought.
Not to mention, it really makes sense.
But soon, Xia Chuan denied this speculation.
"There is no reason. If they really plan to do this, they can send people over to negotiate with us. Now they continue to invade Redwood Ridge without saying a word. It doesn't seem like they want to compromise with us..."
After saying this, Xia Chuan looked back at Xia Hong and continued:
"Furthermore, with the overall strength of the Jingxian camp, is it necessary for them to make such a compromise?"
This sentence caused everyone to fall silent immediately.
Two cold-resistant levels and hundreds of diggers. Judging from the style shown by the people in the Jingxian camp before, it is most reasonable to bring everyone directly to the door and start a war with Daxia.
But why is it like this now?
Unlike everyone else, as soon as Luo Yuan expressed his guess, Xia Hong immediately knew that it was impossible. The problem was that he couldn't explain why the Jingxian camp acted like this.
Jingxian camp, why don't you come directly to the door?
Could it be that they already know about the green bamboo fence, marker stone, and wooden man stake?
This was impossible. Xia Hong immediately shook his head. He had just pointed out the first two buildings, and the wooden mannequin had never appeared in front of anyone else.
There is no way the other party knows.
Whoosh…………
A sound of wind suddenly came from his ears. Xia Hong twitched his brows, quickly turned around with his sword, and slashed at Luo Yuan's back.
Keng…………
"Run quickly, spread out!"
It was an iron arrow shot from the east periphery. The moment the iron arrow fell, Xia Hong's expression suddenly changed and he yelled at everyone.
The sudden change was so sudden that Luo Yuan didn't even have a chance to look back. He only heard the iron arrow falling and Xia Hong yelling. He immediately realized that something serious was going on, and hurriedly headed south with Xia Chuan and seventeen others. Fleeing wildly.
Whoosh... whoosh... whoosh... whoosh... whoosh...
Soon, everyone knew why Xia Hong was yelling.
Not only the east side; the west side, that is, deep in the Redwood Ridge; the north, and even the south side where they were fleeing, that is, the front direction, countless Daoli arrows were suddenly shot from all directions.
Puff... Puff...
The sound of five or six sharp arrows piercing flesh and blood was heard. Before the seventeen people could disperse, four people immediately fell behind.
Zhao Bao was shot in the left leg; Li Yun was shot in the chest; Li Pingkai's waist was directly penetrated; Ying Xuan suffered the worst, a sharp arrow penetrated from the left cheek, the arrow came out from the right cheek, and the blood immediately covered it His entire face was covered in a horrifying shape.
The four people who were hit by the arrows were worried that it would affect the escape of others, so they just gritted their teeth and groaned, and they were so stubborn that they didn't make any more noise.
"Keep running, don't stop!"
Xia Hong hung behind the crowd, signaling the four of them to continue running away while quickly waving the sword in his hand.
While cutting down countless iron arrows, he also took the opportunity to observe the surrounding situation.
When I saw this, I felt a chill in my heart.
In the four directions, about a hundred meters away, with the seventeen of them in the center, there were hundreds of people in total, shooting arrows and approaching quickly.
"Ambush!"
"How do they know we came out tonight?"
"Has this been prepared a long time ago?"
"No, no, it doesn't look like it. There are the most people on the east side, and there are fewer people on the west side. They seem to have just arrived from the Arrow Bamboo Forest."
"They have been sending people to monitor the valley!"
………………
In the flash of lightning, countless thoughts flashed through Xia Hong's mind, but he did not dare to stop the movements of his hands.
Pfft…………
Just as he cut off three or four iron arrows that were aimed at Zhao Bao's heart, Xia Hong heard a speeding sound in his ears. His brows jumped sharply, and he pushed Zhao Bao away and swept across with his sword.
Whoosh…………
The speed of the iron arrow was far beyond his expectation. It was not hit by the sword and fell to the ground. Instead, it quickly passed through the sword screen and shot directly towards his left eye.
At the critical moment, Xia Hong couldn't even move his head. In desperation, he could only close his left eye.
Chi...
The skin was pierced by the sharp arrow, and a huge force was transmitted to his face. Xia Hong's head moved back crazily to reduce the impact of the iron arrow.
It seemed like a long time passed, or it seemed like a moment. A stream of heat slid down from the corner of his eyes. Xia Hong opened his left eye and took out the iron arrow stuck in his eyelid. Although his face was happy, his heart was full of chills. .
It's only half an inch away, no, it should be said, if it weren't for the rapid improvement in the progress of the skin film in the past few days. With this arrow, his left eye was definitely unprotected.
Not only his left eye, but also his life may be lost!
Pfft...
The sound of several sharp arrows piercing flesh and blood was heard. Xia Hong suddenly raised his head and looked forward, a flash of blood suddenly rising in his eyes.
As soon as he retreated, without him to block the arrows, Xia Chuan and others were running south, and something immediately went wrong.
These were the four people who were shot and injured in the first wave.
Zhao Bao, who was shot through his left foot, was the slowest and fell behind. He was hit by two arrows in the chest and shoulder, and his speed became even slower than before.
There is also Li Pingkai. The blood from the wound on his waist has flowed to his legs. Three more arrows have been added to his back. His breath has become extremely panicked, and his running movements have begun to stagger.
The same goes for Li Yun, who was hit by an arrow in his chest. If it weren't for Ying Xuan's support, he might not even have the strength to run.
But the problem is that Ying Xuan's cheek was also shot through, and his own eyes were a little blurry, and he was obviously reaching his limit.
At this moment of escaping, as long as there are wounds on the body, especially those that affect movement, death is basically not far away.
There were not only four people, but Xia Chuan, Luo Yuan and other thirteen people in front. Although their running speed was not slow, they had more or less one or two arrows stuck in their bodies. Their movements were constantly changing, and they were obviously injured.
The most terrible thing is that the arrows fired from all directions show no sign of stopping. Not only that, the large wave on the east side has at least two to three hundred people, and they are approaching quickly. It seems that there are only less than fifty people left. rice.
"This plan is to catch us all in one fell swoop!"
Xia Hong looked back at the hundreds of people on the east side. The distance of fifty meters was enough for him to see clearly what those people looked like.
Seeing that the leader was Yu Wenhu, Xia Hong's murderous intention in his eyes had risen to the extreme, but he still forcibly endured it, raised his long sword, turned into a strong wind, and passed directly over Xia Chuan and others, rushing towards them the front.
"Be careful of the arrows coming from behind, keep spreading out, and run south!"
When Xia Chuan and others saw Xia Hong's movements, they immediately understood his intentions and continued to distance themselves horizontally, but the direction of escape was still south.
In less than ten breaths, Xia Hong had already passed a distance of tens of meters and rushed to the side of a big tree in the south where arrows were flying.
The instrument knife turned into a violent wind. Xia Hong didn't think anything. He glanced at the tree trunk where the arrow flew out from the corner of his eye, jumped up, and swung the knife suddenly.
Pfft…………
A man dressed in black and holding a giant bow didn't even scream. His body was chopped into two pieces and fell directly from the tree.
"Spread out first..."
As soon as the first person died, several people hiding in the Jingxian camp in the south immediately realized how strong Xia Hong was. After one person shouted, more than ten people immediately jumped down from the big tree and headed towards They scattered around and fled.
"If you want to run away, you will die!"
How did Xia Hong make them achieve their wish? Although the main reason for coming to the south was to allow Xia Chuan and others to break out of the encirclement, it would be great if they could kill a few more diggers in the Jingxian camp.
His body was like lightning, and he caught up with the nearest person almost instantly. The moment he swung the sword with his right hand, he took off the double-edged ax from his back with his left hand, tilted his head slightly and threw it towards the other person.
Click...bang...
When Yi Dao killed one person, the huge ax thrown also smashed another person directly into the snow. The bright red blood instantly dyed the ground red, and two lives fell in just an instant.
Phew…………
Turning his head to the side, he saw that two of the seventeen members of the hunting team at the rear had already fallen. Xia Hong was impatient, and his eyes were filled with murderous intent. He threw his sword straight at the third person.
The 1.7 meter slender sword was like a sharp spear, piercing straight through the heart of the man. In less than ten seconds, the three diggers in the Jingxian camp had already died in his hands.
I don’t know how the ambush in the Jingxian camp was formed. The south side had the least number of people, only a dozen or so in total. Xia Hong had already torn open the gap on this side the moment he came over.
And coincidentally, Xia Chuan and others from behind also rushed over in time.
"Keep running and leave me alone!"
Hearing Xia Hong's words, Xia Chuan and Luo Yuan showed a hint of hesitation on his face, but turned around to face Xia Hong's uncompromising eyes, gritted his teeth, and left.
"We can't let them escape. Brothers, hold them back. When the second leader arrives, they will all die!"
What's amazing is that the nine people on the south side who had just escaped saw the hunting team passing through the encirclement, and they rushed over again without fear of death.
Looking at the nine people approaching, Xia Hong's eyes were filled with killing intent.
It wasn't that he couldn't catch up with the nine people just now, but because he was afraid that the hunting team's casualties would continue to increase, he stopped to block the arrows of Xia Chuan and others.
These nine people came up again without fear of death. Their purpose was just to hold them back.
"If you are not afraid of death, if you are not afraid of death, then I will send you to death!"
Xia Hong had no intention of escaping. The sword flew away and he rushed towards the one closest to Xia Chuan and others among the nine people with his bare hands.
The middle-aged man looked at Xia Hong rushing over, and a flash of fear subconsciously flashed in his pupils, but the fear soon disappeared and turned into ferocity and mania.
He dropped his longbow and raised his sword to strike at Xia Hong suddenly.
"More than 20,000 kilograms!"
Xia Hong had no intention of appreciating the opponent's fighting spirit without fear of death. After feeling his strength from his qi muscle, he didn't even make a dodge move and directly kicked the man's sword diagonally. Kick it over.
Pfft...
The broadsword clashed with Xia Hong's leg, and the violent force caused the man's jaw to burst open. Before it was over, the broadsword returned straight along the path it had cut.
The difference is that the sword returns with greater force and faster speed.
The back of the man's knife had no edge and was about two or three inches thick.
But even so, the back of the knife still split open his face and cut directly into his head.
"The fourth one!"
After Xia Hong killed this person, he directly changed the target and rushed to the place where the sword was just thrown. After killing another person with one punch, he drew out the sword and rushed towards the remaining seven people.
Although these twelve people on the south side were brave, trying to hold off the entire hunting party in Xia Hong's hands was nothing more than a dream.
Lying on the ground should be Li Yun and Li Pingkai.
Xia Hong turned his head and looked at the two corpses on the ground on the east side. After identifying their identities, Xia Hong became more murderous. Especially when he saw that Xia Chuan and others had successfully escaped from the encirclement from the south, he realized that he had no burden at all. , body movements become faster.
Chi…………
Those seven people probably knew they couldn't compete with Xia Hong, so they were still trying to chase Xia Chuan and others in front. Xia Hong didn't care about the arrows shot from behind and only focused on killing these seven people.
In less than five or six breaths, three of the seven who were lagging behind were killed by him.
Whoosh…………
When he was rushing towards the fourth person, another speeding sound came into his ears. Xia Hong's brows jumped sharply. This time, he did not resist and chose to turn and avoid.
Pfft...
Seeing the iron arrow passing through the tree, Xia Hong's eyes first flashed with shock, and then he looked back at Yu Wenhu, who was less than twenty meters away from him, holding a strong bow, his eyes filled with chills.
At the same time, two to three hundred people came closer behind Yu Wenhu, slowly forming a circle of encirclement, surrounding Xia Hong in the middle.
"What a turn of events! Leader Xia Hong, you are in trouble this time!"
Xia Hong didn't speak, just stared at the giant bow in Yu Wenhu's hand. To be precise, he stared at the white bowstring of the giant bow.
Xia Hong's expression changed slightly when he saw that the bowstring was also made of white silk thread, but was several times thicker than the bowstring captured by He Meng and others last time.
Although there were so many arrows shot at him just now, Xia Hong only really cared about three arrows, namely the first one shot at Luo Yuan, the second one shot at his left eye, and the last one that forced him to dodge. The third branch.
These three arrows were obviously shot by Yuwen Hu.
Not to mention the front and back branches, the one in the middle is the one that can break through his skin. It is definitely more powerful than a hair.
The toughness of that white silk thread after thickening is so high!
"Leader Xia Hong, He Meng killed eight of you earlier, and you killed twenty-five of them. Tonight I led people to encircle you, and there were casualties on both sides. Judging from the number of people, Daxia still made a profit, you say , right?”
Seeing that Xia Hong didn't speak, Yu Wenhu continued to speak, this time with a hint of sincerity in his tone.
Upon hearing this tone, Xia Hong could roughly guess what he was going to say. He didn't answer his question. He just raised his head and asked in a calm tone:
"What do you want to say?"
Yu Wenhu took a step forward and said in a deep voice: "You and I are both human beings and are struggling to survive in the ice abyss. Why bother fighting to the death? Monsters and cold beasts are our real enemies. Brother Xia Hong, what do you think? , right?”
Next, it’s time to get to the point!
Xia Hong raised his head and remained silent, continuing to wait for Yu Wenhu to speak.
"As long as Brother Xia Hong is willing to bring Daxia to join us, we, the Jingxian Camp, will sweep all the beds to welcome us, and we are willing to offer the third position, how about it?"
At this time, a young man also walked out from behind Yu Wenhu.
"Brother Xia, our Jingxian camp has a population of over 10,000, and there are hundreds of people in the Digging Realm. You have seen it today, and there is even a big leader, He Yuan Qingxiong, who is very talented. He is also a man who loves talents. He said that as long as you are willing to lead Daxia Come in and forget all the previous things. If you have any other requests, you can also make them.”
Looking at the young man behind Yu Wen, Xia Hong had a gloomy look on his face and said in a deep voice: "It seems that I shouldn't have let you go in the first place!"
That young man was Yu Wen Tao, whom Xia Hong had let go before.
After hearing Xia Hong's words, the expressions of both Yuwen and his son changed.
Obviously, all the words they said before were in vain.
"If you had said this when we first started contacting each other, I might not necessarily agree, but at least I would seriously consider it. Now..."
Xia Hong did not finish his words, but turned his eyes to the bodies of Li Yun and Li Pingkai behind the crowd. The coldness on their faces was obvious.
"Leader Xia Hong, if you really count, in these three conflicts, more people died in the Jingxian camp than you did in Daxia, so why would you..."
"Yu Wenhu, what did you say about me in the first sentence just now..."
It was useless to say more, so Xia Hong interrupted Yuwenhu directly. After asking, Yuwenhu looked stunned for a moment, then asked rhetorically, and continued: "Am I in trouble?"
Xia Hong held the ritual knife in his hand, looked up at Yu Wenhu, looked around at the people in the Jingxian camp, and said in a deep voice:
"It's too early to tell who was wronged.
You guys have achieved some success in today's ambush.
But later, your Jingxian camp will be in trouble..."
After saying the last word, Xia Hong jumped up suddenly, and the instrument sword pulled out a cold light in the night sky and rushed straight towards Yu Wenhu in the middle.
Xia Hong, who was surrounded by two to three hundred people, not only was not afraid, but actually rushed towards him first!
No matter how good-tempered Yu Wenhu is, his face is a bit unbearable.
"If you are so stubborn, then kill!"
Everyone around them immediately drew their swords and surrounded Xia Hong on three levels inside and three outside.
