Three are within fifty meters of each other—ignore them for now. The other four are two Snowmanes, one Frost Wolf, and one Golden-Eyed Demon Sheep, each separated by over a hundred meters—choose one to target.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After consolidating all the reports, Xia Hong sketched a rough map in the snow, glanced at the trap in his hand, and subtly shifted his gaze, aiming the branch in his hand toward the southwest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That Snowmane is the farthest—go for it first!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Previously, when using torches to lure cold beasts into killing each other, Xia Hong had to choose targets positioned exactly between multiple beasts. Now, the hunting method had changed, so the strategy for selecting targets had to change too.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The group walked southwest for a while, soon spotting an unusually thick Jinlin tree. When they were still about thirty meters away, Xia Hong halted everyone and signaled to Xia Chuan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xia Chuan nodded, took a ram’s chisel from his back, found a clear patch of ground, cleared away the snow, and exposed the black, ice-crusted earth beneath.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gazing at the black earth, Xia Chuan’s eyes gleamed with eagerness. He raised the ram’s chisel, unleashed his strength, and slammed it down hard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom…………\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A massive rebound force traveled from the ground up the chisel, flinging Xia Chuan’s arm into a full backward rotation and sending him flying three or four meters back. Had Xia Hong not reacted instantly and caught him, he would have stumbled to the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Don’t test it recklessly—this ground is too hard. Without Earth-Digging realm strength, you can’t break through. Let me handle it!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xia Hong shook his head, took the ram’s chisel, gripped the handle with both hands, held his breath, and drove it forcefully into the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Crack…………\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A crisp sound of shattering ice crystals rang out as the chisel sank smoothly into the earth. The others, seeing the ground breached, immediately wore expressions of envy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It seemed like merely digging a hole, but it represented Earth-Digging realm strength.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The key point was, Xia Hong was so young.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although Luo Yuan also had over eight thousand jin of base strength, he was already past thirty. Not just him—even Zhao’s three brothers, Li and Yan’s two men, and Zou Yuankai—all were at least twenty-five or older.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Compared to the Timber-Cutting realm in Great Xia, their ages were relatively advanced, so not only did they feel some envy seeing Xia Hong, but sometimes even Xia Chuan, Yuan Cheng, and others stirred similar feelings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, youth meant potential.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xia Hong was unaware of Luo Yuan and the others’ thoughts—he focused entirely on digging. After an hour, a pit one meter in diameter and half a meter deep appeared before them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xia Hong pried open the trap with force, carefully placed it inside the pit, tied one end of a rope to the trap, buried the rope along the snow, then tied the other end to a tree with a secure knot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Finally, he instructed Xia Chuan and the others to cover the pit again with snow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once all preparations were complete, Xia Hong pulled out a torch and looked at the group. “Chuan, Luo Yuan, Zhao’s three brothers—you five come with me for the main assault. The other seven, hide in the trees and take your chances shooting its weak points.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xia Chuan, Qiu Peng, and Xu Ning all nodded. Qiu and Xu immediately went to find trees nearby to hide in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though Luo Yuan and the others were skeptical, they still followed Xia Hong’s instructions and took their assigned positions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing everyone was ready, Xia Hong glanced at the Snowmane still sleeping on the Jinlin tree thirty meters away, struck a flame to the torch, and carefully planted it atop the concealed pit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After planting the torch, Xia Hong quickly retreated and joined Luo Yuan and the other five, hiding behind a large tree to the left of the pit, watching silently the Jinlin tree ahead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lighting a torch to lure cold beasts?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Yuan still didn’t understand the trick of the small torch—he assumed Xia Hong was merely lighting it to attract cold beasts. His eyes flickered with disappointment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cold beasts did seek light and heat, but not always. At night, they were extremely lethargic; unless attacked, they rarely woke. Not even this small torch—let alone a bonfire—would necessarily…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom…………\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Yuan’s thoughts were shattered by a loud crash.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He looked up at the Jinlin tree—and froze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He hadn’t expected to be proven wrong so quickly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Less than five minutes after the torch ignited, the adult Snowmane lying on the Jinlin tree had woken up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not only had it woken—it was actually walking toward the torch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This… how is that possible…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not just Luo Yuan—even Zhao’s three brothers and the other five—all stared wide-eyed at the approaching Snowmane, faces filled with disbelief and confusion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Snowmane was four meters long, its tusks raised high, limbs thick and powerful. Each step crushed through the snow to the ground—clearly an adult.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though it approached, its small eyes scanned the surroundings warily. Yet whenever its gaze fell on the torch, those eyes glowed with intense craving and obsession.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The torch seemed to hold some immense attraction for it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unlike Xia Hong and the others, Luo Yuan and the other eight had never seen the torch’s trick before—now their eyes were filled with astonishment and anticipation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Snowmane had reached within three meters of the torch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just one more step…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Click!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Snowmane’s right front leg stepped onto the exact spot of the pit. The buried trap snapped shut, and a sharp, resonant crack echoed as it crushed bone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Immediately after came the Snowmane’s enraged roar of pain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Roar…………\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Attack!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xia Hong gave the order and charged forward first. Luo Yuan and the other five followed, surrounding the Snowmane from different directions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shiiii… Shiiii… Shiiii…………\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Simultaneously, arrows whistled through the air from the nearby trees.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Snowmane’s right front leg had been injured by the trap, severely limiting its mobility. Even if it sensed danger from the incoming arrows, it could not evade effectively.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The first two arrows pierced its eyes—one left, one right.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of the dozen or so arrows that followed, two struck its ear canals and mouth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though others missed vital organs, nearly all hit vulnerable areas like its neck and face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Roar…………\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As arrows rained down and five sword glints surged toward it, the Snowmane clearly sensed death. After its furious roar, it ripped the trap from the ground and leapt violently—trying to turn and flee.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unfortunately, the trap was tied to a rope, the other end knotted securely to a tree. The Snowmane’s leap didn’t free it—it instead yanked the rope taut, causing it to stumble and nearly fall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Snowmane quickly rolled over, this time prepared, and tore the rope clean away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unfortunately, Xia Hong and the other five had already arrived.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Cold-Start Blade gleamed silver, matching the snow’s brilliance. Xia Hong raised it overhead, gathered all his qi, fixed his gaze on the Snowmane’s neck, and slashed down with all his strength.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Simultaneously, Luo Yuan and Zhao’s three brothers raised their blades toward the Snowmane’s limb joints.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Snowmane jerked its head up, saw Xia Hong’s descending blade, and fear flashed in its eyes. It twisted its body, abandoned escape, and charged straight at Xia Chuan—the only one among the six without a blade—tusks raised.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Crack…………\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thank you all!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of Chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",1316,"2026-06-19T20:30:15.201Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","372846e745ea45b9c495e20f4aa88b79c3e016da330074aa79fa6faf4fa7eea2","endless-winter-my-camp-infinitely-upgrades-chapter-91","endless-winter-my-camp-infinitely-upgrades-chapter-89",521,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fendless-winter-my-camp-infinitely-upgrades-cover.jpg"]
