Endless Winter: My Camp Upgrades Infinitely-Chapter 213 - 141 Intermediate Thunder Kui, Second Reshaping Skin [Three in One]_2
Chapter 213: Chapter 141 Intermediate Thunder Kui, Second Reshaping Skin [Three in One]_2
It’s a pity that Xia Hong and the fourteen members of the Hunting Team are all hiding beneath the belly of the Snow Mane at this moment. No matter how strong the spikes on its back are, it can’t turn around to shoot at that position.
"Hahaha, this Snow Mane probably never imagined that by using its body, we could break its final trump card..."
After three or four breaths, as all the spikes on its back were shot out, the Snow Mane let out a whimper and fell to the ground, unable to get up. Yuan Cheng was the first to burst into laughter, his voice full of excitement and pride.
The others didn’t speak, but looking at the huge prey on the ground, their faces also showed signs of excitement.
However, in the end, seeing the Double-edged Giant Axe still stuck on the Snow Mane’s skull, everyone turned their gaze to Xia Hong at the forefront, their faces full of reverence.
"Is the Intermediate Cold Beast Blood really that strong? The leader used it only once, and the change in strength was this significant. No, I must quickly reach the limit of thirty thousand pounds..."
This thought flashed through the minds of Xia Chuan, Luo Yuan, and all the others at this moment.
The change in Xia Hong was truly remarkable.
When they first hunted that Intermediate Snow Mane, everyone remembered that Xia Hong had to use the Long Measure Blade to injure the Snow Mane inside the skull through the face or eyes. In just a few days, he could now use the giant axe to directly hack open the Snow Mane’s skull.
Crack...
Xia Hong was unaware of the thoughts in everyone’s mind. He pulled out the Double-edged Giant Axe from the Snow Mane’s head, revealing a few traces of excitement on his face.
In just over three hours, an Intermediate Snow Mane was already in their hands.
The hunting process tonight went much smoother than expected!
The strength of the Snow Mane’s skin and skull should both be around forty thousand pounds.
No wonder the last time he saw Yuwen Dao fighting the Demon Sheep, the Broadsword left so many wounds on it.
The smoothness of this hunting process was largely due to his own improvement in strength, but it also benefited from familiarity with the Intermediate Snow Mane and the tacit cooperation of the Hunting Team.
"As long as we hide in the position under the Snow Mane’s belly, its spike trump card is basically useless. However, the only thing to note with this method is to seize the moment when it is about to die due to exhaustion. Once you hide under its belly prematurely, it’s not about dodging spikes—it’s courting death!"
Last time, when Zhu Shun and Zou Yuankai were seriously injured, Xia Hong was wondering how to avoid the Snow Mane’s backspike trump card. After thinking it over, this was the only method he could come up with.
Based on the speed and power of the Snow Mane’s spikes and the ultimate range they reach, running to the outer areas is definitely a path to death, and lying flat is also a method, but it can’t guarantee complete avoidance.
During the first hunt of that Snow Mane, when it shot out its spikes before dying, Xia Hong led everyone to jump down from a big tree to avoid them by lying flat.
But in the end, Zou Yuankai and Zhu Shun were still hit.
Escaping was too late, and lying flat couldn’t guarantee complete avoidance.
There was then only one method left: staying close.
Tonight was the first attempt, and the result already proved that this method is effective for now, though it requires a very high timing precision.
"Alright, that’s it for tonight."
"Is it over? Leader, we can still continue!"
"We haven’t suffered any injuries and can totally continue. Leader, take us to hunt another one back!"
"We have enough arrows, the weapons are intact, and it’s only been a little over three hours, no need to head back so early, Leader, let’s continue!"
"That’s right, there’s still time, Leader."
Upon hearing Xia Hong announce the end of the hunt, everyone promptly spoke up to dissuade.
Xia Chuan was the last to speak in a deep voice, saying, "Leader, didn’t you say we need a lot of Cold Beast Blood to break through the Cold Resistance Level? This is just one, we still have the strength, let’s hide this prey and continue?"
Upon hearing Xia Chuan’s words, everyone nodded heavily.
A warm current surged through Xia Hong’s heart.
Obviously, Xia Chuan’s last words encapsulated the true thoughts in their hearts.
"Alright, we’ll continue, but we can only look for Snow Mane—other Intermediate Cold Beasts are not to be considered for now."
Xia Hong only pondered for a moment before agreeing to their proposal, but he made strict limitations on the choice of prey, opting only for Intermediate Snow Mane.
Everyone nodded, immediately collaborating, lifting the large Snow Mane on the ground, and placed it atop a large tree, posing it as if it’s resting.
Once everyone tidied up and marked the prey, Xia Hong led the team to prepare for further exploration northward.
"The depth here should be 1300 meters, almost looked through from south to north. Besides Teng Jiao, there weren’t other preys to be seen, let’s go a bit further inside!"
Everyone nodded, although the first time they hunted the Intermediate Snow Mane, they unexpectedly ventured four kilometers into the depths of Redwood Ridge. But back then, being watched by a powerful Cold Beast was truly an uncomfortable feeling and extremely dangerous too.
Before the strength is adequate, the search range must be strictly controlled.
"Let’s go 200 meters further in and see if there are any new discoveries!"
"Hey, look over there..."
Just as Xia Hong decided to go 200 meters further in, Zhao Long among the crowd exclaimed, pointing northward, signaling everyone to look quickly.
Everyone followed his pointing direction and was stunned.
Although no one had lit a fire, the ground and trees in Redwood Ridge were covered with snow, so the dense forest was not pitch black, but rather a bleak grayish-white.
Amidst this vast expanse of gray and white, over a hundred meters to the north, around a sturdy Ice Tree, there was a faint golden light emanating.
