Endless Winter: My Camp Upgrades Infinitely

Chapter 1351: Chapter 438: Six-Rank Status System, Emotional Breakthrough, Direction_2

It was precisely because they needed to raise this sum of money that their parents chose to take risks, increasing the hunting frequency, eventually meeting disaster outside.

"Big brother, do you think Lord Hong Yu will always stay with us?"

Su Jing was suddenly interrupted, turned his head to look at Su Xing’er, whose face was full of hope, and couldn’t bear to dash her hopes, nodded with a smile and said, "He definitely will, it’s been over four months now. Not only has he given us so many good things, but he’s also taught us fist techniques and saber techniques. Didn’t he also teach you swordsmanship? He’s been so good to us, he will definitely stay with us."

"I knew it, Lord Hong Yu is the best!"

Upon hearing these words, Su Xing’er was overjoyed, her eyes instantly smiled into crescent shapes. Naturally, not just her, even Su Xu and Su Zhi, the two brothers, couldn’t help but show smiles on their faces.

It’s been over four months since they were rescued at the entrance to the Bone-Eroding Path.

Staying with Xia Hong for these four months, the four siblings seemed to have fallen into heaven. Thinking back now, that Advanced Red-maned Tiger from four months ago was just the beginning.

High-level Beast Meat, Beast Blood, refined salt, Blood Spirit Pill, Blood Essence Pill, Yangyuan Pill, Golden Sore Pill... Xia Hong not only had strong power but also casually hunted an Advanced Cold Beast from time to time. The small yellow bundle he carried seemed to contain endlessly precious cultivation resources, and he would occasionally pull one out to reward them, causing their cultivation progress to accelerate quickly.

The materials were secondary; the key was Xia Hong’s attitude towards them, which was infinitely better than at the beginning. Not only did he advise them on their cultivation, but he also taught them a profound fist technique and even, based on their personal characteristics, imparted a set of martial arts skills.

Half a month ago, Su Jing first broke through to Cold Resistance Level with a basic strength of over 100,000 jin; then came the second brother Su Xu with 110,000 jin; until two days ago, the third brother Su Zhi’s skin membrane also reached the limit, successfully breaking through with a basic strength of over 100,000 jin.

In these four months with Xia Hong, they occasionally felt a kind of blissful illusion, as if everything had returned to the time three years ago, when their parents hadn’t had their accident, and they had found a firm new reliance.

Life’s ups and downs are so absurd, one moment they almost got thrown into the Bone-Eroding Path to die by the County Guard Army, the next moment they were living a previously unimaginable privileged life, combining both material and emotional aspects.

Their feelings towards Xia Hong shifted from initial fear and trepidation to admiration and respect, and now it has transformed into deep reliance.

That’s precisely why Su Xing’er asked such a question.

Going out tonight originally was to test Su Zhi’s breakthrough strength, now that it’s been tested, the four tidied up the prey and immediately set off back.

Su Jing, carrying the prey with his two brothers, didn’t walk far before turning his head to say to his sister Su Xing’er: "Lord has been going out more frequently lately, probably because his injury has healed almost and he’s started scouting the route. Xing’er, if you are sure you’ve reached your limit, then hurry to break through, I estimate we will soon set off."

"Got it, big brother!"

Su Xing’er nodded heavily in agreement upon hearing the words.

Over four months ago, Xia Hong had told them in person that he was going to Lin Chu County and urged them to break through to Cold Resistance Level soon, so as not to waste his time.

"I’m going to attempt a breakthrough tonight, can’t waste the Lord’s time!"

Cheering herself up in her heart, Su Xing’er quickened her pace.

"There’s a fire in the cave, the Lord is back!"

The hunting area was less than ten kilometers from the cave, and they soon arrived.

During the night, seeing the bonfire in the cave, knowing Xia Hong was back, the four’s faces immediately showed smiles, and they hurriedly quickened their steps.

Just after entering the cave, the four’s expressions suddenly froze.

Beside the bonfire, Xia Hong was holding a small green snake, bleeding it.

The small green snake was only as thick as a thumb, its skin membrane glistening transparently, estimated less than a meter long, but its blood filled the entire wooden basin, at least over a hundred jin; also, the bones exposed where it was sliced were actually pure golden...

"Lord, is this small snake a very powerful Advanced Cold Beast?"

Xia Hong, who was bleeding the snake, raised his head to look at Su Xing’er, who was full of curiosity, and mischievously decided to tease her, nodded and handed over the small snake.

Although Su Xing’er was young, she had hunted outside for a long time, and naturally wouldn’t be afraid of a small snake, reached her right hand directly and caught it.

Just catching it, she immediately stumbled and fell to the ground, then looked up at Xia Hong, her face dropped immediately with a bitter expression.

"Hahaha, this is a Beast King Level Green Jade Soaring Snake. It looks small but still weighs seven or eight thousand jin after bleeding, and you dare to catch it with one hand."

Xia Hong laughed heartily, saying while reaching out to take the snake back.

"Beast King!"

Su Xing’er hurriedly stood up, patted her bottom, and leaned over to Xia Hong, full of curiosity and shock.

Of course, it wasn’t just her. The other side, the Su Jing brothers who had just put down the Yellow Armored Bear trembled upon hearing this and quickly gathered around.

The four siblings had never seen, let alone heard of a Beast King, but the literal meaning was evident.

"Lord, can we eat this small snake tonight?"

Xia Hong turned to look at Su Xing’er, saw her staring at the Green Jade Soaring Snake with a greedy look, held back his laughter and said, "We can eat a bit, but you can’t eat too much, cut out one-fifth, and let the five of us share it."
