Bingshuo, Jushang, Jinrin

The Daxia camp, finally, had once again given birth to a lumbering-level combatant.

The mood of the crowd was instantly much better.

Xia Hong's mood, needless to say, originally thought it would take more than ten days, but it turned out to be a breakthrough in eight days, which shows the potential of their body.

It was about to be night, Xia Hong didn't procrastinate, he walked to the fire, and in the crowd's astonished gaze, he pulled out a burnt stick from it.

That stick is black, about half a meter, the bottom is thin and thick, and the thick end, the very top is white.

Small Torch: the fire pile can generate one for every 10 units of wood burned, it can be carried around, and its function is similar to that of the small fire pile.

The special function of the small fire pile, after spending eight days in the cave, although it was saving the wood to use, it had burned a total of 13 units, so it generated one.

Since he was going out, it was natural to be prepared for everything.

It was similar in function to the small fire, meaning that it also had the same effect of shocking and killing the creepy monsters, but at the same time, it would also attract the cold beasts.

Soon, it was dark.

Xia Hong tied the torch to his back with a rope, had two hand axes on his waist, and then pulled out a long stick about three meters from the side of the camp wall.

Looking out through the large gap in the hole's fingers to confirm that the sky was completely dark, Xia Hong turned back and gave a final instruction to Xia Chuan.

"Remember the code word I explained, I will rush back before dawn, when I leave, you immediately seal the cave entrance, if someone comes, as long as they can't match the code word, no matter who it is, don't expose it, understand?"

That slaughter was only eight days ago, and Xia Chuan's memory was still fresh, naturally, he understood the importance of this explanation from Xia Hong and heavily nodded his head.

Xia Hong also did not say anymore, tore open an opening, and directly drilled out.

Xia Chuan's side quickly sealed the hole, but through the last bit of gap, saw Xia Hong's departing figure, his eyes still showing a trace of worry.

......

The exact size of the Redwood Ridge, not to mention Xia Hong, even Xia Ding was not clear.

After all, Daxia is only a small camp, these years, although it is also constantly exploring, the scope of activities is also the slope east of the Redwood Ridge on this side.

Moreover, it was circling those six caves.

The rough range was about five kilometers in a circle.

Within these five kilometers, the most important is the periphery of the Redwood Ridge to the west.

Nothing else, just because the trees in Redwood Ridge, are very numerous.

Not only were there more, but they were also extending outward like crazy.

By all accounts, there were a total of nine human camps around Redwood Ridge, and after years and years of felling, Redwood Ridge should be constantly shrinking.

However, according to Xia Ding's observation, the Redwood Ridge had not contracted over the years but instead was constantly expanding outwards.

The trees grew bigger and bigger and also grew more and more.

The fast growth rate of resources was originally good for humans.

But the problem was that these trees were not only resources to them.

To the cold beasts, it was likewise.

The vast majority of the cold beasts' habitats were in the trees.

Moreover, in addition to hunting for food, the cold beasts also liked to eat the fruits on the trees.

So the expansion of Redwood Ridge was fatal to the neighboring camps.

As the trees continued to extend, the range of those cold beasts' activities was getting closer and closer to the neighboring camps, and the humans would become more and more dangerous.

Of course, these things, are not what Xia Hong, at this stage, should consider.

Although it was a night, the ground was snow-covered, so the sight was barely okay.

Without realizing it, he had already walked to the edge of the Redwood Ridge.

As far as the eye could see, the huge trees that could be called ancient trees in the previous life were sparse and commonplace here, and could even only be considered small.

On Xia Hong's cursory glance, even the thinnest trees on the periphery had a diameter of three or four meters, and thirty to fifty meters long could be seen everywhere.

Inside is even more horrible, five or six meters in diameter, or even more than ten meters, can be seen, those giant trees, head up can not see the top, do not know how high.

Snow-covered trees, hanging thousands of sharp ice cream, and wantonly falling snowflakes, together form a beautiful snow and ice scroll.

Only, Xia Hong at this moment, did not have this leisure and elegance.

He picked for a long time and selected a tree three meters thick.

Xia Hong nervously walked up and peeled off the surface of the snow, which first revealed a layer of ice crystals, ice crystals under the bark, vaguely flashing a ray of red light.

Seeing the red light, and then raised his head and carefully scanned the crown of the tree, after not finding anything, immediately sighed with relief.

"Vermilion Frost Tree, there should be no cold beasts entrenched."

According to what Xia Ding had said earlier, the eastern periphery of the Redwood Ridge had the most Vermilion Frost Trees.

Because the branches and trunks of the Vermilion Frost Tree were relatively fragile and the cold beasts were large, they usually did not choose to roost on them.

Unlike the Vermilion Frost, a tree with a yellowish appearance called the Golden Rin, with very sturdy branches and a thick trunk, was most favored by the cold beasts and would often perch on it at night.

Moreover, there were cold beasts that would make nests and settle on it.

In addition, the number of Golden Rin trees is not too many, so generally, the cold beasts that can stably perch on it, their strength is not weak.

Xia Hong used his hand axe to mark the small Vermilion Frost tree, and after memorizing the route, he continued to walk in.

The camp was almost out of food and wood.

This tree was saved to be cut down when he returned, the priority was to find the crystal fruit.

"The Ice Shuo Tree loves light and grows faster in places with light, so it usually grows in more open places."

Xia Hong recalled the characteristics of the Ice Shuo Tree and looked around the forest, picking a tree and then confirming that there was nothing on it, he directly climbed up.

The outer skin of these trees, and snow and ice crystals, were not only cold and biting but also slippery, after a great effort, Xia Hong finally climbed to the top.

On the top of the tree, the line of sight is much better.

Soon, Xia Hong on the west side of the two to three hundred meters away, found a more open area.

"Eight hundred paces on the eastern periphery of the Redwood Ridge is considered our Great Xia's territory, if you enter the logging team in the future, you must remember this rule, if you venture into someone else's territory and get killed, you can't blame it on anyone."

Recalling what Xia Ding had said before, Xia Hong jumped off the tree in a single leap headed towards that open area on the west side, and walked over.

Eight hundred paces was roughly a mile range.

That open area, belonging to the Great Xia territory, was not much of a problem to go over.

According to the Bing Shuo tree, this kind of tree that can grow staple food, such an important tree, the camp should have to memorize the location and save the need to go looking for it every time.

It had memorized it, but the death of Xia Ding and the logging team was too unexpected.

The people who could go out of the camp were originally the thirteen of them, and all thirteen of them knew the location of the Ice Master Tree.

Who would have thought that there was no time to tell Xia Hong, that thirteen people died together?

Fortunately, this tree is not far away, and Xia Hong did not make much effort to find it.

Although he was eager to seek food, Xia Hong still tried to calmly approach that way.

Along the way, every time he passed a tree, he would raise his head and carefully search for the crown position.

At night, although it was the dormant period of the cold beasts.

But it didn't mean that they wouldn't wake up.

Xia Hong hadn't seen any cold beasts until now but only learned about two or three kinds from the previous conversation between Xia Ding and the members of the logging team.

Although he had never seen a live one, just from the number and frequency of the camp acquiring the blood and flesh of the cold beasts when Xia Ding was still around before, he could surmise that their strength was terrifying.

Thirteen Vastwood Realms, in a month, had only managed to hunt down a juvenile Spiny Bone Frost Wolf.

This could already explain a lot.

Xia Hong had to be careful, with his current strength, when he encountered a cold beast, the probability was that he would die.

Fortunately, all the way there was no danger, For more than an hour, Xia Hong finally walked to that open area.

To the destination towards the front, Xia Hong's face was suddenly full of smiles.

In the middle of the open area, a forty-meter high, silver-decorated sky-high Ice Shuo tree stood silently, and above it was dangling densely densely densely densely densely densely densely densely densely crystallized fruit.

"Luck is so good, I'm afraid this must have thousands of pounds."

Xia Hong was not overwhelmed by joy and directly went up the tree to pick the fruit.

Instead, he first picked another nearby Vermilion Frost tree and climbed to the top.

He began to carefully observe the crown part of that Ice Frost Tree.

At this look, his face immediately lowered a lot.
