Xia Hong in the front heard the sound, immediately turned to look at Yuwen Dao, and repeated what Chen Yingba had just said, then asked:
"How much do you know about the Hive Camp? Are these words credible?"
"Over sixty thousand people, how is that possible, he must be lying..."
Yuwen Dao paused for a moment, then continued, "Everything else is fine, there is indeed a Hunting Team at the Hive Camp. I don’t know the exact number, but I’ve heard He Yuanhun mention it before, about five hundred. Chen Yingba is indeed the leader.
Chen Yingyuan and Wu Tianxing are also real; He Yuanhun mentioned them too.
It’s just the sixty thousand people, that’s definitely fake. If the Hive Camp had that many people, the Earth-digging Realm wouldn’t be just this much."
So earlier, Chen Yingba was lying to him.
It’s not hard to guess, probably just afraid of being finished off, so he intentionally exaggerated the strength of the Hive Camp a little.
Xia Hong shook his head slightly, Chen Yingba’s little trick was naturally not enough to fool him.
"Next, just wait and see how the Hive Camp reacts. For this period, I’ll be staying on the Jing Valley side. You guys have been fully exploring the Arrow Bamboo Forest recently, right? Just leave a few teams stationed here. The mining caves on the southern side of the valley are almost depleted, right? These two iron mines can also be used."
Xia Chuan heard this and nodded, recalled something, turned to look at Yue Feng, and said, "Today is just the 30th, Yue Feng, Li Yuankun told me last night, your Mountain River Team has explored the Arrow Bamboo Forest to a depth of thirty-one kilometers over these nine days, is that correct?"
Yue Feng’s expression brightened, took out a Beast Skin Roll from his bosom, handed it to Xia Chuan, and nodded in response, "Master, this is the map I drew."
Xia Chuan glanced at the contents of the Beast Skin Roll, looked up and said, "Nine days ago, I mentioned it, by the end of this month, whoever explores the Arrow Bamboo Forest area the deepest will be in charge of the Jing Valley outpost. I’ve confirmed with the other teams, none of them went deeper than you. So, this Jing Valley outpost will be your responsibility."
An expression of joy appeared on Yue Feng’s face, and he bowed deeply, "I obey your order!"
Xia Chuan thought for a moment, turned to Yuwen Dao, and continued, "On this Jing Valley side, it still needs someone familiar to guard it. For this period, just let the Dragon Wu, Divine Martial, Zhenwu, Heroic, Xiongwu, five teams’ people stay here. Along with Yue Feng’s Mountain River Team, a total of six teams with 120 people in total. Director Yuwen, what do you think?"
Yuwen Dao nodded and said, "That’s appropriate. We are familiar with Jing Valley and Arrow Bamboo Forest, the arrangements made by the master are fine."
After speaking, he directly turned and spoke to Hong Guang beside him, "Uncle Hong, you now return to the camp once, inform Hong Tian, Zhu Ling, Zhu Yuan, and Meng Yi to lead the team members, bring all necessary supplies, and come over directly."
"Alright, I’ll go now!"
Standing at the back, Xia Hong caught a glimpse of Hong Guang, and smiled slightly.
Hong Guang’s Xuanwu Team had been disbanded, and after the team size was expanded, he directly joined Yuwen Dao’s Dragon Wu Team.
After making a mistake, Hong Guang became significantly more composed, not as reckless as before.
"Alright, everyone can go back, you are not needed here for the time being. By the way, Xia Chuan, how are your preparations coming along?"
Xia Chuan was stunned upon hearing this, realized what Xia Hong was asking, and a wry smile appeared on his face. He walked up to Xia Hong and said somewhat shyly, "Big brother, do we really have to make it like that? It’s not necessary, just getting together like everyone else would be fine, no need to make such a big scene."
Seeing Xia Chuan’s bashful manner, Xia Hong couldn’t help but smile, shaking his head, "Just because everyone doesn’t do it this way, I’m having you do it, to set an example for them. Once you take the lead, others in the camp will naturally follow suit. Trust me, it won’t be wrong. Hurry back and prepare!"
Seeing Xia Hong’s insistence, Xia Chuan could only nod.
"Alright, then I’ll take everyone back now. Big brother, be careful here, and remember to send someone back with a message if anything happens."
