Chapter 339: Chapter 177: Population Growth, Trouble for Hong Guang【Big Chapter, Votes and Subscriptions Needed】_2 Right in the middle of the valley, the wooden building under construction has iron materials that are visible to the naked eye, estimated to be hundreds of thousands of pounds. Hundreds of thousands of pounds! How many weapons could be made from that? And yet, it’s being used to make a building? No, there are two more buildings behind the wooden building, and from the one on the right, iron material is continuously being transported out and sent up to the wooden building. He even saw batches of weapons being carried out from inside. More unbelievably, after that person moved the weapons out, he directly threw them onto a wooden board on the south side of the valley. And on that wooden board, there were already hundreds of sabers and bows and arrows placed. "Chief, clothes, did you see that? Everyone in the Great Xia Camp is almost wearing full sets of clothes, even those..." Upon hearing someone next to him, Zeng Fan followed their gaze and immediately his pupils shrank, his expression instantly becoming as stiff as theirs. "Luo An, it’s your turn to be the Cold Beast, today I’m the captain." 𝒻𝑟ℯℯ𝑤𝑒𝑏𝑛𝘰𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝒸𝑜𝘮 "Alright, I’m going to start, howl..." "Xiao Ping, quickly grab the rope, the rest of you come with me, attack..." ...... A group of twenty to thirty children, appearing to be only three or four years old, are holding wooden sticks and wooden swords, playing on the south side of the valley. They are clearly engaged in some kind of hunting game. What left Zeng Fan and the others dumbfounded was that every child in that group was wearing a full set of beast skin jackets, which even came in five colors: black, blue, brown, green, and white. "Gulp..." Zeng Fan swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and those who entered the valley with him mostly had dazed expressions, clearly quite shocked. Though some of the younger children didn’t think too much, they simply looked at the clothes on Luo An and his group, filled with deep envy in their eyes. "Old Zeng, you’re here too, hahahaha!" Suddenly, a person transporting wood from the south cliff seemed to notice Zeng Fan for the first time, shouted out loudly as he approached, his face full of smiles. Zeng Fan snapped out of his daze, lifted his head to see the man clearly, and his expression froze. "Old Kong, how come you’re here?" Apart from the two mid-sized camps on this side of the Four Ape Peak, there were a few small camps hidden, which Zeng Fan wasn’t clear about, but he did know of two that neighbored the Zeng Ping Camp. Konghe Camp was one of them, and the person in front of him, Kong Ning, was the leader of that camp. They had met before while logging and were on good terms. "Only allowing you to come, huh, heh heh, were you brought here by Lord Shi Ping too?" "That’s right." Meeting a familiar face in a strange camp made Zeng Fan, already in a good mood, feel even better, and he quickly pulled Kong Ning aside to start inquiring about the situation. Seeing the situation inside the valley, he could already be certain that Great Xia’s strength was superior to the Three Tigers Camp. The next step was to confirm whether the promises Shi Ping had made to him earlier were true. And as the two chatted, Zeng Fan’s expression brightened, and his demeanor gradually grew more excited. Meanwhile, on the top floor of the wooden building, Meng Ao, Zhu Kang, and Hong Yu, who were working, also had their eyes on this group of people. Zhu Kang, with a slight change in expression, said, "This is the fourth batch, right? These people were brought back by the Cloud Jiao Team, so they should be credited to Shi Ping." Meng Ao nodded, casting his gaze toward Hong Yu, and softly inquired, "The two camps Uncle Hong brought back didn’t seem to have a lot of people, do you know the exact numbers, Xiao Yu?" Upon hearing them, Hong Yu withdrew his gaze, his expression a bit somber, nodding in response, "The two camps Brother Dao and Father brought back earlier had a total of only 482 people. Luo Yuan’s Tiger Leopard Team first brought back the Konghe Camp, which has 329 people, and this one seems to have over three hundred too. Currently, Shi Ping is ahead." Meng Ao and Zhu Kang’s faces froze slightly upon hearing this. Most of the Logging Realm probably didn’t know that the camps were vying for the Pioneer Department Director position, but the three of them, being the sons of the concerned parties, knew quite well. The three of them were aware that the current competition might seem to be between Hong Guang and Shi Ping on the surface, but in reality, it was between Minister Xia Chuan and Hunting Department Director Yuwen Dao. Reasonably speaking, Shi Ping wasn’t qualified to compete with Hong Guang, after all, he was just a regular member of the Cloud Jiao Team, whereas Hong Guang was the captain of the Xuanwu Team. The problem was that Shi Ping had the backing of Minister Xia Chuan. Recently, Xia Chuan had dispatched all seven hunting teams from Great Xia over to the North Shore, ostensibly for hunting, but everyone knew it was to recruit more people for Shi Ping. Of course, Hong Guang didn’t show weakness either. Besides his own Xuanwu Team, he had Yuwen Dao supporting him, bringing along the Dragon Martial, Divine Martial, Zhenwu, Heroic, and Xiongwu teams, a total of six teams, almost all deployed, searching for people on the North Shore every night. Currently, the situation is that the teams from Great Xia find camps, bring back people, contribute points to themselves, but the credit goes to Shi Ping; similarly, Yuwen Dao’s teams have their credits marked under Hong Guang. It all stemmed from that statement made by Chief Xia Hong earlier: In one month, whoever brings back more people for the camp, the position of Pioneer Department Director will be theirs. "There are still twenty days left, who’s to say until the very end, though there are many on Shi Ping’s side, they lack strength compared to ours, I’m sure Uncle Hong will definitely get the position in the end, Xiao Yu, no need to worry!" Seeing Hong Yu frowning, Zhu Kang hurriedly spoke up to comfort him, thinking he was worried that his father, Hong Guang, wouldn’t get the position.
