Endless Winter: My Camp Upgrades Infinitely

155: Chapter 119: Running Out of Materials, Archery Contest [Warm Sun Giant’s Additional Chapter 2/10]_4 155: Chapter 119: Running Out of Materials, Archery Contest [Warm Sun Giant’s Additional Chapter 2/10]_4 Everyone stared in amazement at the Frost Wolf on the ground, unable to move.

Just now, Xia Hong’s ten arrows took only about a dozen breaths.

A dozen breaths, for those present who just participated in the archery competition, isn’t even enough time to draw a bow, nock an arrow, and aim.

But Xia Hong not only shot ten arrows but also didn’t miss any.

Almost every arrow hit precisely as he intended, even by the wooden mannequin’s judgment, he had successfully used a bow to hunt a Frost Wolf.

“Is the leader skilled at everything, even archery?”

“The leader’s archery is ridiculously strong!”

“This isn’t just strong; it’s godlike.”

“Doesn’t that mean the leader can hunt alone with a bow?”

…

“Gulp…”

Shi Ping squeezed through the crowd to the front and found that nearly half of Xia Hong’s arrows were buried in the ground.

He swallowed hard, eyes full of astonishment and shock.

It’s important to know these arrows all passed through the Frost Wolf’s body before reaching the ground.

“Not only was it so accurate, but the strength was also several times ours.

No wonder, no wonder the leader said he wouldn’t participate in the rankings.

If he did, what competition would we have for the top ten…”

Shi Ping had always been proud of his archery, having been guided by his father Shi Qing since childhood, and his inherent talent wasn’t low.

But after witnessing Xia Hong’s ten arrows, he suddenly became a lot more clear-headed.

“The leader’s archery was also taught by my father, and he hasn’t practiced for long, yet he’s so much better than me.

It seems only by participating in real hunts, facing real Cold Beasts, can I quickly improve my archery skills.

I must quickly enhance my strength and strive to join the Hunting Team soon to go out with the leader and Lord Xia Chuan!”

His previously prideful archery skills turned out to be so lacking.

Shi Ping was somewhat hit by this realization, but at the same time, his spirit was ignited with a stronger fighting spirit, eager to elevate his archery to Xia Hong’s level.

Shi Ping calmed himself, looked up, and noticed that while everyone was fervently discussing, Xia Hong had already quietly headed toward the mine with Xia Chuan and a few others.

Watching Xia Hong’s back, Shi Ping’s eyes were full of reverence and fanaticism.

“Alright, let’s continue the competition!

We can’t compare to the leader’s skills.

If one day we can reach even half his ability in archery, we’d be very fortunate!”

As the crowd’s excitement gradually calmed, Shi Ping stepped forward to announce the continuation of the competition.

…

“No wonder you didn’t want the Hunting Team members to participate.

These people’s reactions are a bit over the top!”

At the entrance of the mine, Xia Hong, who had just walked in, shook his head slightly, recalling the camp’s exaggerated reaction after his demonstration, his expression somewhat odd.

“Hahaha, leader, after all, none of them have officially hunted, and they’ve seldom seen Cold Beasts, let alone such remarkable archery.”

Luo Yuan couldn’t help but laugh.

Xia Hong’s skill was undeniable, but merely comparing archery, many in the Hunting Team were actually better than him.

For example, Zhao Long, standing nearby.

“Not really, the leader’s archery isn’t weak at all.

Plus, his Basic Strength is much greater than ours, making his arrows deadlier.

It’s normal for those people to have such reactions after seeing it!”

Hearing Zhao Long’s words, Xia Chuan nodded and laughed, “If the Hunting Team members were to compete with them, it would be unfair.

I guess even Yuan Cheng could take one of the top three spots.”

“Hahahaha…”

Everyone burst out laughing, even Xia Hong couldn’t hold back a few chuckles.

In the Hunting Team’s fifteen members, the least adept at archery was Yuan Cheng.

“Chuan, your archery isn’t much better either.

When I have time, I’ll practice for a few days, and let you take the bottom position.”

The laughing foursome had unknowingly walked deep into the mine.

Yuan Cheng, who was mining inside, clearly heard Xia Chuan’s earlier tease and couldn’t help but retort.

“Hahaha…”

Xia Hong laughed a few times and led his three companions quickly inside.

“Greetings, leader!”

Yuan Cheng, Zhao Hu, and Zhao Bao, busy mining, turned back to salute upon seeing Xia Hong enter.

Xia Hong waved a hand, signaling the trio to stand up.

He looked at the ground with only about twenty pieces of Iron Ore, his face slightly troubled.

“We’re running low on Iron Ore, and soon the spinal cords will be insufficient too.

Tomorrow night, let’s first check the North Slope of the mountain wall to see if we can kill a few more Rodents, and then go over to Redwood Ridge to hunt a few Teng Jiao.”

Everyone nodded at his words.

“Daybreak is near.

Let’s light a fire in the cave.

Together, we’ll mine more Iron Ore today and try to speed up progress!”

After Xia Hong finished speaking, he picked up the Sheep Horn Chisel and started digging.

Luo Yuan and Zhao Long followed suit, while Xia Chuan went outside, soon bringing in a lot of wood.

Once the fire was burning and the cave warmed up, he too took up the Sheep Horn Chisel and joined the six in mining.
