Endless Winter: My Camp Upgrades Infinitely

Chapter 1348: Chapter 437: Killing and Interrogation, Five Great Feudal Towns, The Four Su Siblings, Long-Lost Excitement

“Let’s find a cave to rest and continue the chase after dark.”

Su Xu and the other two had given up hope, but seeing their eldest brother still unwilling to abandon the pursuit, they said nothing and simply sighed inwardly.

There are many small hills in the middle of Evergreen Valley, and the four brothers headed straight north. Soon, they found a small cave.

The four of them casually picked up some branches for firewood and quickly entered the cave together.

“This cave, it’s so warm!”

“Feels like we don’t even need to start a fire, right?”

As soon as they entered the cave and noticed the temperature inside was several times higher than outside, their faces were full of confusion. However, after taking a few more steps inside, their confusion turned to elation.

Deep inside the cave, a young man in black clothes was sitting cross-legged.

It was Xia Hong, who had just rescued them at the entrance of the Bone-Eroding Path.

Bang……

The four subconsciously rushed forward, and as their knees were about to bend, they were stopped by a force, causing all four to fall back on their buttocks.

“No need to kneel, sir, start the fire and cook!”

When the four stood up, they realized that Xia Hong had thrown to them a tiger-like Cold Beast over a meter long, covered in red hair.

“Over a meter long?”

“Is this… an Advanced Red-maned Tiger!”

“Only one sword hole on the forehead, gulp……”

The scene of Xia Hong just killing the County Guard Army still lingered in their mind, and Su Jing and the others could obviously sense his strength was formidable, but the actual impact didn’t feel intense;

Yet the sight of this Red-maned Tiger was different. Qingtan Village had the Advanced Hunting Team, and the four siblings had seen Advanced Cold Beasts before—they knew very well how powerful beasts of this level could be.

The four quickly drew knives from their bodies, intending to bleed, skin, and butcher.

Clang……

But among the four siblings, the most powerful Su Jing wielded his knife, making the scene instantly awkward.

The knife in his hand was only Hundred Forged Level, not enough to cut the Skin Membrane of an Advanced Cold Beast, and with excessive force, it snapped immediately.

Xia Hong fumbled around in his pack and eventually picked out a light gold small dagger, weighed it in his hand for a moment, before tossing it to the four.

Su Jing reached out to catch the dagger, but stumbled; fortunately, Su Xu and the others caught him in time, otherwise he would have fallen flat.

“This dagger must weigh over ten thousand pounds…”

Su Jing stared at the light gold small dagger, no more than thirty centimeters long, in his hand. His eyes first showed a trace of shock and then quickly turned to excitement. He called out to his three younger siblings: “Fourth child, start the fire; third, prepare clean water; second, chop some wood to make a wooden basin, quick.”

The four siblings clearly had very strong wilderness survival skills.

With Su Jing’s instructions, the four got busy with their tasks efficiently.

In less than ten minutes, the tiger meat from the Red-maned Tiger was already hanging over the campfire, sizzling.

The rest of the tiger meat, tiger skin, tiger blood, and of course the most precious blue Jade Bone, were all sorted and placed by Su Jing. He then bowed to Xia Hong before joining his younger siblings to roast meat.

While roasting meat, the four frequently looked at the basin of tiger blood on the ground, their eyes filled with desire almost overflowing.

Xia Hong quietly opened his eyes, seeing they were only roasting a piece of tiger meat, he pulled out a bag of refined salt from his bundle and tossed it over, instructing: “Roast another piece and share it among you three, coat it with this.”

“Thank you, sir!”

Upon hearing this, Su Jing’s face immediately showed some emotion. After respectfully thanking Xia Hong, he picked out a small piece of tiger meat and placed it on the rack to roast.

Now, looking at the tiger meat, the four couldn’t help but gulp.

“Is this… White Fresh Powder?”

When the tiger meat was fully roasted, Su Jing opened the bag Xia Hong gave them, and seeing the crystal white salt inside, his face showed astonishment.

“Such fragrance, it’s White Fresh Powder; I’ve seen it once in the leader’s home.”

Su Jing promptly sprinkled the salt, and with the high temperature melting it, the aroma from the tiger meat instantly became ten times richer.

Slurp……

The youngest, Su Xing’er, couldn’t help but drool, and when her brothers all turned to look at her, her face turned bright red.

“Let’s eat!”

Upon hearing a voice, Su Jing and the others realized Xia Hong had already moved next to the campfire, and they hurriedly stood up.

“No need to stand, sit down and eat with me!”

Xia Hong gestured for them to continue sitting.

Only then did the four nervously settle down on the other side, sitting respectfully.

Xia Hong grabbed the larger piece of tiger meat with his bare hands, tore it into four pieces, and tossed it to the four before he started eating a piece himself.

“Thank you for the reward, sir!”

The four accepted the tiger meat but didn’t start eating immediately. Instead, they stood up again to bow to Xia Hong before they sat down and began eating.

It was evident that the moment the tiger meat hit their mouths, they were trying hard to suppress their body’s reaction. The thing is, this advanced tiger meat was not just a delicacy for them.

“Forgive us, sir!”

Their faces flushed red instantly as they felt energy rapidly colliding inside them. They quickly stuffed the tiger meat into their stomachs, stood up, apologized to Xia Hong, and began to punch and release the energy inside their bodies.

Xia Hong didn’t interrupt them but looked up at their punching technique, quickly losing interest and continued eating the roast.

After punching for almost half an hour, Su Jing was the first to stop, his face full of eagerness and excitement, with Su Xu, Su Zhi, Su Xing’er following suit, their expressions almost identical to his.
