Endless Winter: My Camp Upgrades Infinitely

Chapter 1163: Chapter 396: Saving the Group, First Encounter with Qingqing, Twists and Turns (Part 5)

"Brother Xiao, why haven’t the reinforcements..."

Whoosh........

In his urgency, Jiang Shouping couldn’t help but ask Xiao Hen why the reinforcements hadn’t arrived yet. However, before he could finish his sentence, a Silver Iron Arrow flying in from a distance interrupted him.

The Silver Iron Arrow was well-prepared, shooting right into the throat of a Golden Tiger. The Golden Tiger’s throat was pierced, and it immediately tried to roar, but after tilting its head back, it staggered, letting out only a very small roar.

"I almost forgot, the weakness of the Golden Tiger is its throat. Everyone, as long as you can wound its throat, its ferocity will be cut in half!"

The Golden Tigers are one of the most common types of Cold Beasts in the Jiangxia Hunting Area, so Jiang Shouping was very familiar with its weakness. However, having been besieged by the tiger pack, his mind was in disarray, and he momentarily forgot to remind everyone.

Now that he remembered, he hurriedly shouted to alert the others.

"Xiao Hen, I’ll clear the path for you, take everyone and run in my direction!"

The reinforcements are here!

More than twenty Great Xia people clad in golden armor arrived. Leading them was a burly man, about the same age as Xiao Hen, none other than Yuan Bai, who was leading a team exploring the nearby area.

Xiao Hen truly rose to fame in Xia City during the second year of Great Xia when he broke into the top 100 during the Martial Arts Competition in the Logging Realm group, ranking eighteenth.

That year, Yuan Bai also made it into the top 100, ranking ninth, even higher than him.

Looking back, the annual Martial Arts Competition was essentially a talent assessment. Those who made it into the top 100 and the top 10 each year quickly made a name for themselves in the camp.

Yuan Bai, a year older than Xiao Hen, was also at the Earth-digging Realm Limit, but his Basic Strength had already reached ninety-nine thousand pounds. It was said that he was always trying to break through to a Superior Battle Body, which is why he deliberately held back from advancing.

Yuan Bai and the other twenty made the same move as Xiao Hen earlier, using bow and arrow to tear open a gap in the Golden Tiger pack’s encirclement. Then Xiao Hen, Jiang Shouping, and others once again escaped through that gap and regrouped with Yuan Bai and his twenty-plus men.

"Do they still dare to chase?"

With Yuan Bai and his group arriving, their total number exceeded fifty. The Golden Tiger pack had been entangled for so long, suffering significant losses, and now only twenty-seven remained. They shouldn’t be pursuing any further.

However, this Golden Tiger pack was still relentlessly chasing after them.

Seeing the unusual behavior of the Golden Tiger pack, Xiao Hen’s brow furrowed.

"Something’s off. Did this Golden Tiger pack take the wrong medicine?"

"Hurry and run, I feel something’s wrong!"

Xiao Hen took over Yuan Bai’s statement, directly signaling everyone to hurry up and escape.

They had already broken out of the encirclement. As long as they kept heading east and met with other exploration teams, with the increasing numbers, the tiger pack would naturally no longer be a threat.

Even if they could encounter the camp’s Advanced Hunting Team, this Golden Tiger pack would be no problem at all.

"Hurry and run, the injured go first, we’ll cover the rear!"

Yuan Bai naturally understood this principle and immediately made arrangements.

Xiao Hen and the others had been fighting the Golden Tiger pack for a long time and were injured. Their team had just arrived and was in full strength, naturally making them fit to cover the retreat.

Over fifty people quickly formed a formation and fled rapidly towards the east side.

"Roar......"

Unfortunately, they hadn’t fled more than a hundred meters east when a deep tiger roar erupted in front of the snow forest.

As the tiger roar echoed, the over fifty people fleeing swiftly all had their pupils flash with a trace of muddiness, and some of the injured even spat out fresh blood, with wounds on their skin membrane spreading rapidly.

"What is this..."

"Look ahead quickly!"

"Stop, don’t run anymore!"

"It’s an Advanced Golden Spot Tiger, it’s over!"

"How can there be an Advanced Cold Beast here?"

.........

Being the first to regain clarity, Jiang Shouping’s face was instantly filled with despair, and upon hearing the others’ confusion, he immediately spoke in a deep voice to explain.

To verify his words, after Luo An’s final question, everyone looked towards the east ahead, their expressions instantly solidifying.

On a large tree, fifty to sixty meters ahead, there was a fierce tiger over a meter long, shimmering with a golden glow, staring at them with wide, blood-red eyes.

"Advanced Golden Spot Tiger, with a strength of at least fifteen tufts!"
