They posted sentries behind them—these people are cautious indeed!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Too many of them, and the leaders are strong too—we can’t force a confrontation.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That leader, Xia Hong, his long blade is stained with Rat King’s blood; his strength is formidable—probably not at Cold-Resisting level, but close.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Over a hundred Wood-Cutting Realm cultivators, plus over a hundred bows—this is just their expedition force, not counting those left behind. This Xia Army must be a large encampment.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Almost certainly has a Cold-Resisting-level expert—this is definitely a large encampment!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Lu He didn’t say that the Red Wood Ridge area only had one medium-sized encampment, Luo Ge, plus five or six small ones? How did another large Xia encampment suddenly appear?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing the murmurs, He Meng lowered his gaze, recalling how Xia Hong had just ordered his group to leave—his eyes grew colder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His demand for all the prey was merely a test.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Xia Hong had agreed or even hesitated, he could have gauged the true strength of the Xia encampment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Xia Hong’s outright refusal and immediate hostility only deepened his wariness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though he knew the Xia group, having just driven off hundreds of Rodent Mice, must have exhausted most of their iron arrows.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And even though Xia Hong’s group was far from fully rested, he still ordered his men to hold back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“We’ll find out what this Xia Army is really like when we return—ask Old Lu. If it’s a large encampment, best case—two thousand people or more—reporting it to the Lord will be our top merit. Let’s go!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At his words, everyone nodded, their expressions brightening—clearly, the prospect of top merit held immense appeal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>………………\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He Meng and his men vanished back into the bamboo grove, while on the other side, Xia Hong, heart still pounding, led the entire Xia Army back to the valley encampment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Seal the passageway. Everyone inside. No outdoor activities for the next three days—wait for further orders after that!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xia Hong returned to the second-floor hall of the wooden house and immediately issued the command.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes, Leader!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xia Chuan and the others understood—he feared the Mirror Immortal encampment might send scouts to probe their strength in the coming days, and they nodded promptly in response.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“All eighty-three Rodent Mice delivered to the Supply Office—have Tong Xinglong and the others speed up processing. Luo Yuan, and the other wounded—get them treated immediately!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No sooner had Xia Hong spoken than several women rushed forward, pinning him onto the chair behind him, then began cleaning and bandaging his foot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Yuan had entered first and was carried upstairs immediately, so few had seen the bloodied hole in his shoulder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now, Xia Hong’s foot was fully exposed before everyone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hiss…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone gasped at the wound, drawing in a sharp breath.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The wound, the size of a baby’s fist, pierced clean through the sole—though the Golden Wound Powder was already working, some flesh around the edges remained unhealed, allowing direct sight through.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A hole this large through the sole—how excruciating!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Those who had stayed behind and now saw this horrifying wound felt a chill run down their spines, their respect for Xia Hong swelling instantly;\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Those who had gone out, remembering how Xia Hong had endured such a grievous wound, stood his ground against the Mirror Immortal encampment, and walked back as if nothing had happened, now looked at him with even deeper reverence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Leader, you must rest and heal properly!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xia Chuan leaned close, studying the wound on Xia Hong’s sole, his face filled with worry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As soon as he spoke, Zhao Long and the others chimed in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes, Leader, you’re badly hurt—rest now.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If the Mirror Immortal encampment dares come, I’ll fight them to the death!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Exactly, Leader, rest first—we’ll handle the rest.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…………\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing the concern in everyone’s eyes, Xia Hong felt a warmth in his chest. Remembering how long it had been since he’d shared tonight’s victory with them, he paused, then spoke:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“By the way, did you all see the Rodent Mice we brought back?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Those who had gone out knew exactly what he was about to say, their faces glowing with pride;\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Those who had stayed behind mostly guessed, their expressions filled with anticipation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The Rodent Mouse herd on the north slope has been driven off—we’re safe!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…………\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone who hadn’t gone out, upon hearing Xia Hong’s words, instantly broke into smiles. After a moment of silence, a thunderous cheer erupted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I knew it—when the Leader acts, those Rodent Mice are doomed!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hahahaha! Those beasts killed so many of us recently—today they finally got their comeuppance!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The valley is safe! The valley is safe! Leader is mighty!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Leader is mighty!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>………………\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Xia Army, tormented by the Rodent Mice for over a month, finally felt relief; Chen Ying and his son, along with the two hundred from Chen Ye’s encampment, were ecstatic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Especially those who had lost loved ones to the Rodent Mice—they wept with emotion, gazing at Xia Hong with boundless gratitude and reverence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the Ice Abyss world, humanity’s greatest need is security.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This security isn’t psychological—it’s real, tangible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Rodent Mice had occupied a position less than two kilometers away; for weeks, everyone had lived in constant dread.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Otherwise, during the past twenty days of bow-making and archery training, they wouldn’t have shown such fervor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One could say that for over a month, every member of the Xia encampment had felt a sword hanging above their heads—a blade ready to fall at any moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And now, with Xia Hong’s announcement, that sword had vanished.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The surge of emotion in their hearts was unimaginable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Waaah…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The cheers were abruptly cut off by a loud infant cry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone fell silent. Even Xia Hong turned involuntarily toward the room where the cry came from.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The crying was clear—it came from the room closest to the hall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Infant? Who gave birth?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Mine! Mine! It’s mine!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A familiar voice suddenly rang out from the crowd, then a figure pushed through and sprinted toward the room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>=9+ Shu _ Ba\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yue Feng?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing the man, Xia Hong, Xia Chuan, Yuan Cheng, and many others in the Xia encampment froze in surprise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before Yue Feng could enter, the door opened from inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Three women stepped out—the one in the middle, supported by the others, was about seventeen or eighteen, wrapped in a fur cloak, cradling a baby in her arms, her gait weak—clearly a new mother.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though her face was pale, she smiled warmly at the infant in her arms, her eyes brimming with joy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Fengge, it’s a boy—I gave birth to your son.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hahahaha! Wonderful, Wan—you’ve worked so hard!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>………………\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Watching Yue Feng joyfully hold his newborn, Xia Hong’s expression turned peculiar. He glanced at Xia Chuan, Yuan Cheng, Lin Kai, and others—none showed surprise. He realized only he had been unaware that Yue Feng had a wife.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Big Brother, you didn’t know? Back at the earth slope, Yue Feng and Lin Wan had already gotten together. I hadn’t seen Lin Wan for months—I wondered why she was always hiding in her room. Turns out she was secretly giving birth…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing Xia Chuan’s teasing remark, Xia Hong couldn’t help but smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yue Feng and Lin Wan were among the earliest members of the Xia encampment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After Xia Ding’s death, the first group of Wood-Cutting Realm cultivators he trained were Xia Chuan and Yuan Cheng; the second group was Yue Feng, Lin Kai, Qiu Peng, Xu Ning, and Lu Yang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yue Feng was the oldest among the five—having a child wasn’t surprising.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“By the way, isn’t Lin Wan Lin Kai’s sister?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xia Chuan nodded. “Yes. Lin Kai led the team to seal the valley entrance—he’ll be back soon and will be thrilled.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Becoming an uncle? Naturally, he’d be overjoyed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Ice Abyss isn’t a normal world. Though men and women in the encampments still uphold monogamy, marriage rituals are informal—most just pair up when they take a liking to each other. It was normal for Xia Hong not to know.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xia Hong’s thoughts shifted slightly. He glanced at Yuan Cheng and the others, then asked Xia Chuan: “Who else among them has taken a wife?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Lin Kai, Qiu Peng, Xu Ning, and Lu Yang—all have. Yuan Cheng’s been getting close to Shi Ping’s younger sister lately—should be soon, hahaha…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Matters of men and women always sparked gossip. Xia Chuan grinned, nudging Yuan Cheng with his eyes—clearly teasing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Yuan Cheng blush and rub the back of his head, Xia Hong couldn’t help but laugh and give him a thumbs-up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You’ve got good taste, kid—keep it up!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shi Ping’s sister was Shi Lu—he’d met her when rescuing the Big Stone encampment. She was indeed very beautiful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Xia Chuan still grinning foolishly, Xia Hong deliberately scowled and scolded: “All you do is laugh—you should find a wife too!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing the rebuke, Xia Chuan instinctively flinched—but then remembered something, turned back to Xia Hong, his eyes filled with mischief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not just him—Yuan Cheng, Lin Kai, and others nearby all wore similar expressions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At Xia Hong’s words, their faces turned strangely amused.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The older brother hasn’t married yet, yet he’s scolding his younger brother.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cough… cough… cough…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xia Hong realized his mistake and cleared his throat, trying to change the subject.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just then, Yue Feng, holding his child, came over to rescue him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Leader, today our camp achieved a great victory, and my son’s arrival is perfectly timed—I dare to ask you, Leader, to bestow a name upon this child!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xia Hong lifted Yue Feng, who had bowed to kneel, took the child from his hands, and a flush of emotion crossed his face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>People from the Ice Abyss World have strong physical constitutions; after giving birth, Lin Wan immediately walked out as if nothing had happened—but strong adult constitutions do not mean strong infant ones.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In fact, because infants are inherently frail, and the environment is harsh, the smaller and weaker the camp, the lower its birth rate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The child in his arms, strictly speaking, was the first child born in the camp since his arrival in the Ice Abyss World.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And he was born tonight, on the very night of our great victory over the Rodent Swarm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Coincidentally, it was when he returned and led the others in council on the second floor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It is truly profoundly meaningful!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"With the Rodent Swarm threat gone, from today onward, for the foreseeable future, Da Xia will be secure in this region of Hongmu Ridge. This is a new beginning—and the arrival of a newborn at this moment is perfectly fitting.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Let him be named Yuan.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yue Yuan!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of Chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",1824,"2026-06-19T20:30:15.201Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","63a3c240939b68b8dedd17d5703dd64478d90b72f7776036ed3a04e7c79cc07b","endless-winter-my-camp-infinitely-upgrades-chapter-129","endless-winter-my-camp-infinitely-upgrades-chapter-127",521,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fendless-winter-my-camp-infinitely-upgrades-cover.jpg"]
