191: Chapter 135: The Fearless Mirror Immortal [Three in One]_3 191: Chapter 135: The Fearless Mirror Immortal [Three in One]_3 To the north, the Cloud Mist Zone should be the territory of the Teng Jiao, but the Cloud Mist Zone created by the low-level Teng Jiao spans only fifty meters.
This stretches five or six hundred meters; is it intermediate or advanced?
The giant tree to the south, what is it, a Snow Mane Group?
Or a Frost Wolf Pack?
Judging by the size, it’s very likely that there are dozens of intermediate creatures.
With so many Intermediate Cold Beasts gathered together, there must be an Advanced Cold Beast leader…
Xia Hong withdrew his gaze, feeling shaken yet somewhat relieved.
This Snow Mane running for its life was likely also avoiding other Cold Beast territories.
This also showed that there was a strict hierarchy among the Cold Beasts.
Even severely wounded, the Snow Mane’s instincts still kept it from daring to enter another Cold Beast’s territory.
Hearing Xia Chuan’s call from below, Xia Hong leaped down.
The arrow quivers on everyone’s backs were replenished; the Snow Mane prey was tied with ropes to two long wooden sticks, with two people in front and two at the back, carrying it together.
“Alright, let’s hurry back!”
With Xia Hong’s order, he led the way out into the eastern edge.
Xia Chuan and Luo Yuan stood on either side, Yue Feng and Yuan Cheng followed at the back of the team, while Zhao Long and his two brothers moved straight through the trees, with the four carrying the prey in the middle.
Going out hunting wasn’t a one or two day affair, and the return formation had long become routine.
No need for Xia Hong to speak, everyone could act accordingly.
The unfamiliar environment, coupled with the occasional breathing and howling of unknown Cold Beasts around them, made Xia Hong lead the group almost at a run as they headed out.
In just a few minutes, they had traveled more than two miles to the east.
Another one or two miles and they would reach the familiar outer area, not far from exiting the Redwood Ridge.
Xia Hong glanced back and let out a small sigh of relief.
“Finally, we can catch a breath.
It feels oppressive in there!”
“Me too, it’s so dark in there.
Even though I didn’t see a single Cold Beast, it still feels oppressive from all sides.
The Cold Beasts inside likely have their own territories.
Luckily, we followed that Snow Mane in, otherwise, wandering aimlessly would have cost us our lives in no time.”
Luo Yuan and Xia Chuan couldn’t help but speak up directly.
In just a few minutes of being outside, they had remained in a state of tension, always feeling something was watching them from the shadows.
The expressions on the others, though silent, made it clear they too had felt the unease in those few minutes.
“Don’t talk, let’s keep moving.
We’ll be out soon enough!”
Xia Hong interrupted their conversation, urging everyone to pick up the pace again.
After walking less than two hundred meters ahead, suddenly, a swift arrow sliced through the air, flying horizontally before Xia Hong’s eyes more than ten meters away, piercing into a large tree on the right.
Xia Hong tensed slightly, and before he could react, there was a series of sounds of trees breaking and crashing down from the left.
“It’s from the north.”
“It’s that tree, it fell.”
The sounds of their movements weren’t loud, and the whiz of the arrow breaking through the air was extremely clear.
Before Xia Hong could speak, the others had already remained alert.
Xia Hong had already turned his gaze to the left, towards the north of the Redwood Ridge, his brows slightly furrowed.
To the north, about over a hundred meters away.
After the large tree Xia Chuan mentioned fell, a huge creature measuring eight or nine meters in length rolled down from the tree, emitting a resounding crash;
Arrows rained down like a storm, madly shooting towards the gigantic creature;
At the same time, a figure wielding a giant broadsword leaped down from the nearest large tree, landing directly on the head of the massive creature.
“Someone has intruded to hunt!”
“Is it that same group from last time?”
“It should be the people from the Mirror Immortal Camp.”
“Only them, there’s no other camp but theirs.”
“They just barged in without even greeting us, hmm!”
This clearly appeared to be a group, similar to what they had just done, hunting Intermediate Cold Beasts; Xia Chuan and the others understood instantly.
Everyone opened their mouths, their tones carrying a hint of anger.
After falling silent, they all directed their gaze at Xia Hong, who had not yet spoken.
“Let’s go take a look!”
Of course, Xia Hong understood what was on everyone’s minds, his face darkened as well.
He initially thought that not encountering anyone from the Mirror Immortal Camp on the outskirts meant they hadn’t crossed the boundary.
Unexpectedly, not only had the other side crossed the boundary, but they had already penetrated two kilometers deep and started hunting right here.
For Xia Hong, who regarded the Redwood Ridge as the territory of Great Xia, the resources inside were undoubtedly the exclusive domain of Great Xia.
The overt boundary-crossing actions of the Mirror Immortal Camp clearly showed they had no regard for the Great Xia Camp.
“Leave the prey here.
Xia Chuan, Luo Yuan, come with me.
The other nine, find good positions first.
I definitely want to see how bold this Mirror Immortal Camp can be!”
They chose to hunt at night and, just like Xia Hong and his group, used archery to hunt; coupled with the broadsword wielder’s dodging tactics when battling the massive creature, it was clear.
Just from these three points, Xia Hong could roughly judge that their manpower and strongest capability should be similar to his own group.
Xia Hong knew that the Mirror Immortal Camp had Cold Resistance Level combatants.
But for such a risky endeavor as hunting, with Cold Resistance Level experts lurking in the shadows and leaving these Earth-digging Realm people to fend against Cold Beasts, Xia Hong found it hard to believe.
Since the Cold Resistance Level expert wasn’t present, and their strength was comparable, moreover still entangled with Cold Beasts, it would be a wasted opportunity not to confront the Mirror Immortal Camp here.
