Chapter 452: Chapter 209: Dragonfinch’s Cold Blood and Luo Ming’s Sense of Loss_3
“Alright, give your luggage. You can just send it here. Yue Feng, follow to Jing Valley and then take to et Luo Ming. I’m not sure how long I’ll be out this ti. Rember to watch over the camp, and when I make contact at Hive Camp, if there’s an ergency, you can reach through Luo Ming.”
Xia Chuan took a large bundle from behind him and handed it to Xia Hong.
The bundle contained many bottles and jars, clearly prepared with plenty of supplies.
“Alright, let’s go back. Yue Feng, let’s move!”
Seeing the reluctance in everyone’s eyes, Xia Hong shook his head slightly. After calling out to Yue Feng, he jumped off the city gate and headed north, with Yue Feng quickly following behind.
………
Ten miles north of Jing Valley, in the southeast of Pingxi Plain.
The mid-section of a tree with a diater of seven or eight ters faintly glowed with weak firelight, and if one listened closely, voices could be heard coming from inside.
If soone were looking from outside, they would find the mid-section of the tree completely hollow, with a tree cavity three or four ters wide inside, enough to accommodate three to five people easily.
Inside the tree cavity, two people sat across from each other around a small fire, occasionally adjusting their postures, indicating they had been sitting for a long ti.
The two people sitting there were none other than Luo Ming and Shang Ping, who had left Redwood Ridge almost two years ago.
Compared to two years ago, both appeared more weathered, with hints of gray hair at their temples, clearly indicating they hadn’t been living comfortably.
“Old Shang, do you think if we propose going back to Redwood Ridge, Xia Hong and the leadership would agree?”
On the other side of the fire, Shang Ping hesitated upon hearing Luo Ming’s inquiry, saying, “Of course they would agree, but once we return, our situation might be awkward, and how would Luo Yuan and the others view us…”
Luo Ming’s face instantly showed a trace of bitterness upon hearing this answer.
Indeed, when he led everyone from Earth-digging Realm, leaving over two hundred people in the camp for Xia Hong and departed from Redwood Ridge.
Now going back, not considering how Xia Hong would view him, even the others like Luo Yuan might feel uneasy.
Reflecting on the past three dealings with Great Xia Camp, Luo Ming’s expression turned pensive and lost.
Luo Ming wasn’t foolish. Although Yue Feng sidestepped his inquiries about Great Xia’s current situation three tis, just from the trade dealings and observable items, he could surmise that Great Xia’s power has trendously increased.
Not to ntion the massive quantities of bamboo silk, beast at, cloth and silk, and superior craftsmanship in weapons during their three trades. From Yue Feng’s personal prowess and the strength of those accompanying him during each trade, it was enough to glimpse the bigger picture.
“It has not yet been two years, Yue Feng, who was at the Logging Realm before, is now almost on par with . The growth of Great Xia Camp over these two years far exceeds our expectations!”
Upon hearing Luo Ming’s words, Shang Ping shook his head and said, “That’s not the main thing; the leader’s guarded attitude whenever Xia Hong is ntioned intrigues more. Even Mirror Immortal Camp has rged into Great Xia; the extent of Xia Hong’s prowess probably only the Great Leader, Second Leader, and Commander Chen truly know.”
“If we had known, we shouldn’t have taken you and left…”
Luo Ming fell silent before finishing his sentence.
Shang Ping naturally knew what he ant to say and, after thinking it over, chose to remain silent with him.
“Forget it, let’s not talk about this. Since Yue Feng has finally asked for our help, let’s do a good job with this. Perhaps in the future…”
Toot…toot…toot…
Before Luo Ming could finish his sentence, three long bone whistle sounds ca from not far away.
He and Shang Ping imdiately stood up upon hearing it.
“They’re here.”
“Let’s go, let’s greet them.”
