Endless Winter: My Camp Upgrades Infinitely

Chapter 348: Chapter 179: 3 Tigers Fall, Insights and Fond Hearts [Happy New Year] _3

Two dead, five injured.

The Xuanwu Team, only consisted of seven people in total.

Upon hearing this, Xia Chuan’s face instantly turned cold.

Zhu Ling, filled with resentment, walked up to Liu Erhu and kicked him hard, then continued: ”Hong Guang was tricked by this beast. When he went to meet him the night before, this bastard feigned to negotiate with him and let him stay overnight. Hong Guang knew it wasn’t appropriate and refused. The bastard was cunning and suggested sending someone back to report. As a result, Hong Guang fell into the trap.”

Xia Chuan shook his head slightly, somewhat disappointed in Hong Guang.

Obviously, Liu Erhu deliberately scattered their personnel. It was no surprise that the people Hong Guang sent back to report were Tian Yu and Liu Zhuang.

”Tian Yu and Liu Zhuang were sent back to report, only to be ambushed and killed by these beasts halfway. Hong Guang and the other five were also surrounded and captured alive. These beasts even wanted to follow the trail back to our Great Xia. If it weren’t for Hong Guang and the others’ toughness and refusal to speak, they might have killed them before we got there.”

...

This last part from Zhu Ling slightly reassured Xia Chuan’s heart and somewhat restored Hong Guang’s image in Xia Chuan’s mind.

”Lord, Erhu is sincerely willing to pledge allegiance. If Great Xia is willing to accept us, Erhu is willing to persuade my brother to surrender. He is very strong and can definitely become the lord’s right-hand man!”

”Lord, Erhu sincerely wishes to pledge allegiance. Please, Lord, show mercy.”

”Lord, Erhu is sincere!”

...

Liu Erhu, who had been kicked to the ground by Zhu Ling, felt angry yet finally realized that Xia Chuan’s earlier reactions were just deliberately teasing him. Despite his anger, he continued to plead loyalty to Xia Chuan, trying to win a glimmer of survival.

However, Xia Chuan didn’t pay any attention to him and instead looked at Zhu Ling and said:

”Take a rest for now. Tomorrow night, notify Yuwen Dao. The day after tomorrow, I’ll send people over to bring back those over two thousand people. However, the night after tomorrow, there will be an exchange meeting at the Five Ape Mountain. Eleven mid-sized camps will be there. I will...”

Listening to Xia Chuan’s arrangements, Zhu Ling nodded from time to time, his eyes growing brighter and after a while, even showing an approving expression.

At the same time, Liu Erhu below still hadn’t stopped, but after a while of Xia Chuan ignoring him, he finally couldn’t keep up the act.

He lifted his head and roared angrily: ”Ungrateful bastards, how strong can you Great Xia be? With my brother’s strength, you can’t possibly capture him. If you dare to kill me, he will definitely avenge me.”

With his outburst, Liu Sanhu beside him also started to roar: ”You dare not kill me. That person last night was only scared off by my brother, which is why you didn’t dare to kill me. What can bringing us here do? You wouldn’t dare kill me, so just let me go...”

Even more outrageous, the fifteen people kneeling behind them also joined in.

Looking at the fierce faces of the seventeen people, the intense brutality permeating their words interrupted Xia Chuan, whose eyes suddenly turned icy. Both Zhu Ling and Shi Ping, as well as others in the hall, had their expressions darken significantly.

The furious shouting of the seventeen people continued. In this temporary wooden house, only fifty meters wide, the main hall was temporarily sectioned off, and their noise had attracted quite a few people nearby.

After more than a dozen breaths, seeing that the seventeen still wouldn’t quiet down, Xia Chuan’s expression gradually grew indifferent. He lifted his head to signal Shi Ping and the Cloud Jiao Team.

Shi Ping and the other eight directly drew their swords and walked to the back of the group.

Crack... crack... crack......

A series of crisp slicing sounds instantly quieted the entire main hall.

The foremost Liu Erhu and Liu Sanhu looked back at the fifteen bodies behind them, headless, and instantly felt their entire bodies grow cold, their pupils filled with fear, and they trembled uncontrollably.

All killed, all killed...

How could he dare, how could he dare...

”Mercy, Lord, mercy, we were wrong.”

”I was wrong, Lord, mercy, we were wrong.”

”Don’t kill me, Lord, I can help you capture my brother.”

”Spare me, spare me, Lord, I beg you to spare my life.”

...

”Noisy!”

Plop... plop...

With Xia Chuan’s furious yell, Shi Ping immediately understood, pulled out two Iron Arrows, and shot them, sealing the mouths of both.

”Mmm... mmm... mmm...”

The main hall finally quieted down. Hearing the strange sounds coming from the two, Xia Chuan shook his head: ”These two beasts still have some use. Find a place to lock them up for now and take them to Five Ape Mountain the day after tomorrow.”

Shi Ping nodded and directly took the two out.

...

In the wooden house on the left, not far from the main hall, in a room dedicated to placing the wounded, a heavily injured Hong Guang lay on a bed, his expression somewhat hollow as he stared at the ceiling, lost in thought.

Hong Yu, who had just applied Golden Healing Powder for him, sat at the bedside. Seeing his father’s expression, he knew what was on his mind. After hesitating for a moment, he comforted:

”Father, Tian Yu and Liu Zhuang were just accidents, don’t blame yourself too much!”

Hong Guang’s eyes were void, continuing to stare at the ceiling without moving, as if he hadn’t heard his son’s words.

Seeing Hong Guang still not speaking, Hong Yu was about to continue.

Snap...

A hand with a black sleeve, crystalline like jade, suddenly patted his shoulder.

Hong Yu turned his head, saw the appearance of the newcomer, was first stunned, then immediately became emotional, quickly stood up, wanting to bow in salute.
