The last three cold beasts on the first scroll mostly appear within five hundred to one thousand meters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To the south, two kilometers past Great Xia’s earth slope is a frozen river. No traces of cold beast activity are seen around it—undoubtedly dangerous; people should avoid it entirely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To the north lies a grove of arrow bamboo. West of the grove runs a mountain path where cold beasts often gather. But during the three or five days each year when Ice-Stone Trees bear fruit, for reasons unknown—perhaps to find food or for some other purpose—the cold beasts all retreat into the bamboo grove. During that window, people can risk a swift passage through.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Beyond this path lies a place called Pingxi Plain, home to a massive camp named Beehive—that’s my destination.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only then did Luo Ming answer Xia Hong’s earlier question.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xia Hong stared at the map, speechless for a long while.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two things Luo Ming left him before departing were each more precious than the last.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Captain Luo, I truly don’t know how to thank you!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Ming waved his hand, let out a bitter laugh, and a look of melancholy crossed his face:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“When my father, Luo Feng, was leader, he had grand ambitions—not only leading hunts, but frequently exploring and mapping the surrounding regions, creating this map.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He intended for successors to continually refine it until the entire Redwood Ridge area was fully charted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But after I took over, my abilities were limited, and the map remained unchanged. Now that I’m leaving, I leave it to you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The detailed information on six cold beasts and the map of the three-li radius east of Redwood Ridge—what sacrifices Luo Ge Camp had made, Xia Hong didn’t need to ask; he could guess from Luo Ming’s melancholy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perhaps Luo Ming had once dreamed of inheriting Luo Feng’s great vision.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the camp’s worsening plight, one setback after another.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And then the Wooden Puppet supernatural entity incident—the final straw.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Ming ultimately abandoned that dream. Now, by giving these two things to Xia Hong, he entrusted the camp—and his father’s legacy—entirely into his hands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Luo Ming’s melancholy, Xia Hong’s face flickered with hesitation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He wondered whether he should try to persuade Luo Ming to stay.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Ming saw through his thoughts at once, smiled faintly, and shook his head:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Brother Xia Hong, no need to say more. I know you’re capable—that’s why I entrust these things to you. If not for Cheng, I wouldn’t abandon these people!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xia Hong nodded gently, a look of relief crossing his face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Ming’s resolve was firm; if Xia Hong had tried to stop him, it wouldn’t necessarily benefit the camp now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>=9+ Shu _ Ba\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Enough. The camp has just relocated—you have much to do. I’ll take my leave. The Ice-Stone Trees will bear fruit in a few days; I must hurry to monitor them. If I miss it, I’ll have to wait four more months.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that, Luo Ming turned away cleanly, leading the three Digging Realm, five Woodcutting Realm, and their families into Redwood Ridge under cover of night—clearly planning to pass through Redwood Ridge northward toward the arrow bamboo grove.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Among the three Digging Realm, Li Bai, carrying a bow, kept glancing back—perhaps wanting one last look at the camp valley.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xia Hong watched them depart until they vanished from sight, then exhaled deeply, tucked both scrolls into his robe, and turned back toward the camp.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside the camp’s wooden hut, lively discussion continued.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone was debating whether Xia Chuan’s new rules could truly be enforced.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xia Hong paid no attention to the chatter, walked back into the hut, and immediately sought out Huang Yong and Hong Gang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Leader!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Xia Hong approach, both rose quickly to bow; since both camps had agreed to merge into Great Xia, they naturally dropped their surnames when addressing him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No time to waste. Huang Zhao’s camp is close—we’ll move there tomorrow night. Huang Zhao’s people will relocate first; the day after, Da Chuan’s camp will follow. We’ll finish within two days—swift and decisive, to avoid complications.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes, Leader! We’ll return at once to prepare!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xia Hong nodded. Before they could leave, he walked to the center of the hut, glanced around, and without concern for the onlookers, summoned all structures directly from his system.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Smelting Furnace, Decoction Pot, Wooden Dummy, Polishing Stone—four structures materialized in the center of the hut. The original Great Xia camp members were unfazed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the Luo Ge camp members, seeing this for the first time, immediately crowded around, their expressions stunned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Leader, we’ve inventoried all remaining supplies from Luo Ge Camp: 3,000 jin of iron ore, 4,500 jin of coal stone, seventeen Gold-Lin Trees worth of timber.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ignoring the stunned crowd, hearing Yuan Cheng’s report, Xia Hong followed him to the storage area at the back of the hut.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of Chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",1211,"2026-06-19T20:30:15.201Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","8dbcd6319cf425641d34e8a2852a4028d00e1c6dd1518ac686a9937c429347fc","endless-winter-my-camp-infinitely-upgrades-chapter-87","endless-winter-my-camp-infinitely-upgrades-chapter-85",521,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fendless-winter-my-camp-infinitely-upgrades-cover.jpg"]
