Endless Winter: My Camp Upgrades Infinitely

Chapter 1170: Chapter 398: Commendation and Generosity, Pressure from the Alliance of Three Towns (Part 2)

”I remember your sister Ji Jiang has quite a talent too. How old is she this year?”

The population of Xia City is now almost over 1.3 million. The population of Bashang has started to migrate. Once the migration is complete, the total number of people is estimated to be over 2.5 million.

With so many people in Great Xia today, Xia Hong naturally can’t know everyone.

However, back in the Mud Slope era, the total population of Great Xia was just over 150. That small group of people, Xia Hong basically still remembers.

The Ji Hong siblings, he just happens to have an impression of.

If Ji Hong’s qualification was not particularly noteworthy at first, only starting to stand out after the first Martial Arts Competition in the second year of Great Xia, then his sister, Ji Jiang, was always a dazzling genius.

From Xia Hong’s perspective, it’s natural for him to remember the Ji Hong siblings.

But from Ji Hong’s perspective, it’s completely different. Xia Hong not only remembers the siblings, but he can also accurately say the sister’s name. His expression instantly became excited, and he quickly cupped his hands and said, ”My lord, my sister Ji Jiang is nineteen this year. She broke through the Cold Resistance Level last year. When she did, her basic strength increased to 130,000 jin, which is also a top-level combat body qualification.”

Upon hearing the name Ji Jiang, Luo An, Zou Ping, Liu Peng, Lu Dong, Zhao Yuankong and others, who were about sixteen or seventeen years old, their brows immediately twitched sharply, obviously recalling some unpleasant memories.

Xia Hong keenly sensed the change in their expressions and immediately remembered that Qiu Peng had told him that Ji Jiang was not only talented but also had a temper. She often chased after Luo An and his group in the Inner City to beat them up, and he chuckled.

”Both you siblings have outstanding qualifications, not bad!”

Hearing that Ji Jiang only had a top-level combat body qualification, Xia Hong felt slightly disappointed. In recent times, through exchanges with Murong Chui and Xiahou Zhang, he had inferred a lot of situations.

All the current Xianyang Level experts of the Nine Towns, before their breakthrough, without exception, all had top-grade war body qualifications. To date, none have broken through to the Xianyang Level with just a top-level combat body qualification.

Although nothing is absolute, from this point, it can be inferred that a top-grade war body qualification is likely the minimum threshold to break through to the Xianyang Level. Without this qualification, breaking through is very challenging.

In this sense, the once dazzling Ji Jiang pales in comparison to her brother Ji Hong, who is now coming into his own.

Despite his disappointment, Xia Hong naturally didn’t show it. After complimenting the Ji Hong siblings, he turned to Xiao Hen and the others, smiling, ”Your rescue behavior was risky, but I judge by results. Since you succeeded, it counts as merit, and I’ll think of how to reward you...”

Hearing this, Xiao Hen and his group were instantly excited.

Not only Ji Hong, but it turns out they also have a reward!

”That dragon shedding has so many dragon scales. With 59 of you, each can have one. It’s just enough for you to join the hunting team and move things at White Tiger Pond.”

”My lord, this is too valuable, perhaps...”

”That’s enough, this is it! With over four thousand dragon scales, distributing a few won’t hurt!”

Xiao Kangcheng instinctively wanted to decline, but before he could finish speaking, Xia Hong interrupted him. Seeing this, he could only nod.

”Thank you, my lord!”

Xiao Hen, Yuan Bai, and their group were naturally extremely excited at this moment. They hurriedly bowed to thank Xia Hong, even though they weren’t clear on the specific benefits. Just the two words—dragon scales—made them certain that it was an invaluable treasure.

Xia Hong waved his hand, indicating for everyone to stand up.

He didn’t intentionally come here to see Xiao Hen and his group with Xu Ning and Xiao Kangcheng. After leaving White Tiger Pond in the first half of the night, he immediately went to Bashang to notify Xu Ning, asking him to send ten advanced hunting teams to move things back from White Tiger Pond.

The three of them set off in advance, and as they passed this place, Xia Hong sensed Xiao Hen and his group encountering trouble, so he brought Xu Ning and Xiao Kangcheng to watch their response from the shadows.

Calculating the time, those ten advanced hunting teams should have arrived.

”They’ve arrived. Xu Ning, Xiao Kangcheng, you take them to meet with those advanced hunting teams. The location of Giant Tiger Mountain and where things are stashed can be found with the map I gave you!”

Xia Hong subtly sensed the large group of people heading deeper into Moao Mountain from the east side, then turned slightly to advise Xu Ning and Xiao Kangcheng.

”At your command!”

Xu Ning and Xiao Kangcheng bowed in unison, immediately taking Xiao Hen, Yuan Bai, and the other fifty-nine young members, preparing to head east.

”Wait for me a moment!”

Xia Hong suddenly remembered something, stopping the two, then turned his gaze towards the depths of the Snow Forest and disappeared directly in front of everyone.

Xu Ning and Xiao Kangcheng seemed to know something, glanced at each other, and stood waiting quietly.

Xiao Hen, Yuan Bai, and the others looked puzzled, their faces full of confusion.

Bang...

The group waited less than twenty breaths before a golden object suddenly fell straight from the air in front of them, creating a loud bang and sending the snow on the ground flying up a good ten meters.

As the snow mist cleared, Xiao Hen, Yuan Bai, and the others saw the golden object, and their expressions all instantly froze, their pupils filled with astonishment.

On the ground lay a Golden Tiger over a meter long. Its fur had mostly turned golden, its eyes were wide open, pupils filled with fear, its mouth remained agape, and aside from a subtle cut on its brow, no other wound was visible on its body.
