Endless Winter: My Camp Upgrades Infinitely

Chapter 1433 - 457: The Real and Fake Yang Zhun, Strength and Trials, A Teaming Incident, Cai Qiu’s Heritage (Part 5)

”Yes, Master!”

Su Xing’er bowed respectfully, and when she raised her head, she realized Xia Hong had already disappeared.

The four of them had long packed their belongings and set off directly.

Having lived in the county mansion for half a year, the four naturally knew the way, and soon arrived at the county mansion entrance after some twists and turns.

However, upon arrival, the four were immediately dumbfounded.

At the county mansion entrance, there stood a thousand people in black clusters.

The thousand people, aged mostly between fifteen and twenty-five, wore elegant clothes, adorned with accessories that adhered to the Cai Qiu’s first-class family status.

In fact, no need to look at the accessories, one could glimpse their arrogance and demeanor just by the proud expression on their faces.

Of course, these alone weren’t enough to stun Su Xing’er and her siblings.

The main reason was the thousand young people, all unrestrainedly releasing their aura, as if deliberately showing off. Though it was daytime, their combined aura formed a blood-red wave that shot into the sky, turning the area above the county mansion’s entrance red.

”Master didn’t lie!”

”I can’t gauge any of them. Look over there, that little kid, is he even fifteen? Xing’er, see if you can assess his strength in Zong.”

”Gulp... I can’t tell, his Qi Muscle’s intensity is at least 30% stronger than mine, at least 21 Zong in strength.”

”How is that possible? He looks at most only thirteen!”

......

All four siblings’ gazes focused on the right side, on a half-grown child clad in red who wore an arrogant expression, their pupils full of shock and fear.

”Xing’er, come over here!”

As Su Xing’er stood frozen, she heard someone calling next to her, turning her head to see a young girl in a green jade dress waving at her from the left. Who else could it be but Cai Shiqin?

”Brother, come with me!”

Seeing Cai Shiqin, Su Xing’er’s face lit up with a smile, hurriedly leading her three brothers towards her.

The thousand people at the county mansion entrance weren’t standing according to any rules, but closer observation revealed they were divided into different small groups.

Cai Shiqin’s side was no exception.

Twelve individuals stood beside her, nine men and three women, all around her age, including two young men over twenty who even bore a faint resemblance to her.

Unlike Cai Shiqin, most of the twelve people showed disdain as they saw Su Xing’er and her siblings approaching, only three or four were expressionless.

Thinking about the hunting trial, and observing the expressions of those around Cai Shiqin, Su Xing’er immediately had some guesses.

”Sister Shiqin, does this hunt require team formation?”

Cai Shiqin nodded with a smile and said, ”Xing’er, you’re so clever. Yes! Going out to hunt definitely requires teamwork, especially when Blood Miasma Plain is so dangerous. Look at these people at the entrance, releasing their aura deliberately, hoping to find teams.”

Su Xing’er nodded as he turned to look, finding some small groups with almost sixty members, his brows furrowing immediately. ”We are going to hunt Advanced Cold Beast, having too many people isn’t good.”

Unlike armies, hunting teams’ primary target is individual Cold Beasts, not Beast Tides. Too many people would require a large activity area, easily attracting unanticipated Cold Beasts. Whether in hunting experience or coordination, they are inferior to soldiers, so the number of people should be strictly controlled.

Normally, when hunting Advanced Cold Beast, 30 people should be the limit.

Those few teams of over fifty people are clearly unreasonable.

”Tch, ignorant...”

However, Su Xing’er’s remark immediately drew ridicule from those around Cai Shiqin; a young man even bluntly called her ignorant.

”Qifeng, if you speak disrespectfully to Xing’er again, go to another team!”

Su Xing’er’s side hadn’t reacted yet; Cai Shiqin stood up to admonish him harshly.

Cai Qifeng’s face turned angry at her words, instinctively wanting to speak, but upon meeting Cai Shiqin’s eyes, he immediately deflated like a punctured ball.
