Endless Winter: My Camp Upgrades Infinitely

Chapter 1162: Chapter 396: Rescuing Lives, First Encounter with Qingqing, Twists and Turns (Part 4)

"Spread out, shoot arrows to rescue!"

"Brothers of Jiangxia, hurry and run towards us, quick!"

Xiahou Qingqing was full of joy seeing her brother being rescued. Hearing the voice coming from the east, she immediately took her brother Xiahou Yong and followed Jiang Shouping towards the east.

Of course, it wasn’t just the three of them. Jiang Yiqing and the other fourteen team members also headed towards the east at once.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh ........

Countless iron arrows whizzed in from all directions. Although they couldn’t hit the pupils accurately like the first arrow, they did cause considerable trouble for the golden tigers, and for a moment they indeed managed to rescue the eighteen people of Jiangxia.

"Golden armor, it’s the Hunting Team of Great Xia!"

"We’re saved."

"Wait, there are too few people, only fifteen."

"Only one Cold Resistance Level, wait, not even one."

........

Jiang Shouping led everyone to the east and immediately saw clearly that fifteen people clad in golden armor and wielding strong bows were scattered on five or six large trees, shooting wildly at the golden tigers.

The situation was quite urgent, so he didn’t have time to look closely. He only observed the cultivation of the people slightly and found that all fifteen were at the Earth-digging Realm Limit, with not a single Cold Resistance Level, which instantly made his expression quite grim.

"Jiang Shouping, Captain of Jiangxia Town Baisong Camp’s Hunting Team, thanks everyone from Great Xia for rescuing us, but the number of golden tigers is a bit too much, we should retreat first!"

"Xiao Hen from Great Xia, there’s no escaping now, Captain Jiang, let’s join hands to fend off these beasts. I’ve already sent team members to gather others, reinforcements will arrive soon. Just hold on for a moment!"

Hearing Xiao Hen, Jiang Shouping turned his head and realized the golden tigers were already charging over, and not only had they surrounded them, but also surprisingly the fifteen from Great Xia.

However, his expression wasn’t as grim as before since Xiao Hen had said reinforcements were on the way.

"Yiqing, you take care of the wounded in the center. Qingqing and the others who can move, join me in holding back these beasts with our brothers from Great Xia!"

Jiang Shouping reacted quickly, immediately ordering his team. Then he led Xiahou Qingqing and the others who were not injured to resist the steadily attacking golden tigers.

"All arrows have been shot, gather together and just hold the line!"

Xiao Hen and the others shot arrows to help Jiang Shouping and the others break through, so they almost emptied the arrow quiver in one go. Seeing the golden tigers had surrounded them all and some even started climbing trees to chase them, he immediately ordered everyone to jump down and gather together.

Fifteen people jumped down from the trees and stood alongside Jiang Shouping and other Jiangxia members, joining forces to battle the golden tigers.

With increased numbers, the pressure on Jiang Shouping and the others was significantly reduced.

As for Xiahou Qingqing, there’s no need to mention it. Her basic strength had already reached 110,000 pounds, and her individual power was not weaker than these golden tigers. The pressure eased significantly, allowing her to seize opportunities to wound these golden tigers.

Remembering how her brother Xiahou Yong’s left eye was blinded by these beasts, Xiahou Qingqing’s eyes were filled with hatred. Seeing a golden tiger with its right eye shot blind still coming over, she seized the moment and fiercely twisted her longsword, stabbing it into the golden tiger’s left eye.

Thud!

Tear......

Her longsword successfully pierced the golden tiger’s left eye, with half of the blade driven in. However, at the same time, another golden tiger’s claws were swiping towards her face.

Her lack of combat experience was evident. Instead of letting go, she tried to retrieve her longsword from the golden tiger’s left eye.

In life-and-death combat, timing in decision-making is crucial.

This oversight was basically a fatal mistake.

Seeing the golden tiger’s claws only half a meter away from her face, Xiahou Qingqing’s face was instantly filled with terror. After all, she was just in her early twenties and unmarried. If clawed, she wouldn’t die but would certainly be disfigured.

Bang......

A loud explosion sounded, and the golden tiger’s claws ultimately did not manage to strike her face.

It turned out that someone from Great Xia, clad in golden armor, had collided with the golden tiger from the side, knocking it away.

"Miss, be careful!"

"Thank you, Captain Xiao!"

Upon hearing the voice, Xiahou Qingqing immediately recognized it as Xiao Hen, who had just spoken with Jiang Shouping. She hurriedly cupped her hands to express her gratitude. However, when Xiao Hen turned his head, she got a clear look at his face and was momentarily stunned.

So young!

Initially, when she heard Xiao Hen conversing with Jiang Shouping, she thought Xiao Hen was about the same age as Jiang Shouping and assumed he was also a captain of Great Xia’s Hunting Team, which is why she addressed him as such. But Xiao Hen’s face clearly belonged to someone only in their early twenties, surprisingly about the same age as herself.

"This Xiao Hen must also be a talent figure in Great Xia!"

Xiahou Qingqing was quite aware of her own talent. Although she hadn’t yet broken through to the Cold Resistance Level, her basic strength was already 110,000 pounds, confirming her to have a Top-level Combat Body Qualification. This was also why her brother Xiahou Yong and others had fought desperately to protect her.

The skill Xiao Hen had just demonstrated in knocking away the golden tiger surely showcased strength above 90,000 pounds. Considering his age and that he hadn’t yet reached the Cold Resistance Level, Xiahou Qingqing naturally harbored this thought in her mind.

But this was not the time for curiosity, as everyone continued to actively resist. However, the encirclement of the golden tigers was shrinking more and smaller.
