Endless Winter: My Camp Upgrades Infinitely

Chapter 1158: Chapter 395: Changing Approach, Extending Goodwill and Hidden Pride (Part 3)

His knowledge of Xiao Hen previously was limited to the fact that his two sisters were the Minister’s Wife; he knew nothing else.

As for the talent Xiao Hen displayed, Luo An had always somewhat looked down on it, to be blunt.

Xiao Hen would soon be twenty-three years old, and whether or not he was deliberately holding back his Battle Body Talent, failing to break through to the Cold Resistance Level at this age seemed problematic to the young people in their Inner City.

But now that Luo An knew Xiao Hen had the potential to reach the Superior Battle Body, he naturally wouldn’t look down on him as he did before.

Since his father, Luo Yuan, was the Hunting Department Director, Luo An had a certain understanding of the overall Battle Body situation in the camp.

Currently, Great Xia has over nine thousand at the Cold Resistance Level, but less than three hundred possess Top-level Combat Body Qualification, which shows how rare it is.

"Then I must congratulate Brother Xiao in advance!"

Hearing Luo An’s congratulations, Xiao Hen shook his head humbly and said, "Your Basic Strength is already sixty-one thousand, making you a Lower War Body; in the future, your qualification might be better than mine."

At these words, Luo An’s eyebrows showed a hint of pride, but he quickly masked it and replied modestly, "Not necessarily, Brother Xiao, although a bit older than me, your Battle Body Talent may not be inferior."

"Yes, our Skin Remodeling has just begun, and it may not be better than Brother Xiao’s!"

"Even if it’s the Superior Battle Body, we may not have the confidence."

"My talent may not be better than Brother Xiao’s!"

"My Basic Strength is only fifty-eight thousand, not even reaching the Lower War Body."

Luo An’s conversation with Xiao Hen was overheard clearly by Lu Dong, Liu Peng, Luo Cheng, and Zou Ping, and seeing Luo An comforting Xiao Hen, the four hurried to follow suit and offered their comfort.

Hearing the five clearly insincere comforts, Xiao Hen inwardly chuckled.

A seven-year age difference is actually quite significant.

Compared to him, Luo An and the others were still a bit immature.

He could tell that their comforting words were an attempt to befriend him, though their acting skills were lacking. Even in offering comfort, they couldn’t hide their pride, so Xiao Hen knew they probably believed their talents couldn’t be inferior to his.

This kind of junior behavior, Xiao Hen naturally wouldn’t take seriously; he just smiled and nodded, gladly accepting their comfort.

Of course, he didn’t believe he was truly inferior to Luo An and the others.

Cultivation is like a long race; being older doesn’t mean anything. Besides, he’s just seven years older; Cold Resistance Level lives exceed a hundred years, Xianyang Level lives two hundred; who can predict the future?

"You guys..."

BEEP...

Just as Xiao Hen was about to continue speaking, a sudden, urgent bone whistle sound came from the rear left of the Snow Forest, interrupting him.

A single bone whistle meant encountering a Cold Beast; two whistles meant encountering a Deceitful Monster; three meant there was still time to gather supplies before retreating; four meant everyone had to retreat immediately, without delay.

The bone whistle tradition of Great Xia’s Hunting Team started in the first year and has been engraved in the bones of everyone in the camp for years, so Xiao Hen and the others knew instantly.

"One sound, it’s a Cold Beast!"

"The rear left, that’s Xiao Lin’s team!"

"Something’s happening, hurry over and check it out."

Xiao Hen’s expression changed suddenly, and he swiftly led Luo An and the five others, turning back quickly to head in the direction of Xiao Lin’s team.
