NOVEL NEXT Chapter 306 Difficult Assessment
After a period of training, Ye Guodong roughly figured out the strength and characteristics of these people, so he decided to conduct an assessment on them.
"Listen carefully, tomorrow we will conduct an assessment in the forest. The content of the assessment is very simple, that is, each of you will find your way from the entrance of the forest to the place I specified in the center of the forest. I will wait for you there."
Ye Guodong's expression was serious, "The time is from dawn to dusk tomorrow. There is plenty of time. Those who fail will be punished and have to live in the forest for three days and three nights."
After hearing this assessment, the expressions of the assassin team members varied, but few of them felt nervous.
After all, Ye Zhuoyu had taken them to the nearby forest many times. They were still scared when they first started practicing, but now their skills have improved, and the beasts in the forest are no longer difficult for them to deal with.
Besides, they have been to the forest so many times, and they have already figured out the terrain and routes inside. Is it too simple to go from the entrance to the center of the forest?
Many people thought this way, but no one spoke up.
"Are we going to the distant forest?"
Finally, Sanhu asked, "We have been to the nearby forest many times, so the assessment results may not be very good."
Seeing him speaking, Ye Guodong softened his expression: "You don't have to go to the distant forest, just the one you often go to. But don't take it lightly. In the past, when you went to the forest, you should have chosen the right weather, right?"
Sanhu nodded honestly: "Yes, when master takes us to practice, he will always choose it on a sunny day. Although sometimes it is at night, the road is still easy to walk. Occasionally when it rains, our training time will be shorter. "
"Tomorrow will be different, so you should be prepared. Today I will teach you some ways to identify the direction anytime and anywhere. Be sure to remember it, and you will use it tomorrow."
Hearing this, everyone else looked at it seriously, but they still didn't know what would happen tomorrow.
After training, they got together to discuss, but in the end they all thought, is it going to rain tomorrow, so it will be different from usual?
The road from the entrance to the forest to the central area is not short. If it rains, the mountain road will be muddy and difficult to walk, and the rain will affect their sight. Although it is rare to encounter wild beasts in such weather, if you are not careful, you can It will fall down the hillside, which is also very dangerous.
But Sanhu shook his head: "I don't think so. Looking at the sky, it doesn't look like it will rain tomorrow."
"It's not raining? What's different? Is it snowing? It's very cold in the mountains, and the snow is frozen into ice. We just need to stick sticks in, and it's not that difficult to go up the mountain."
"Yes, it will be more troublesome if it rains. The rain melts the snow and makes it slippery no matter how you walk. You may not be able to reach the required place after walking for a whole day."
With that said, Sanhu didn't know what he would face tomorrow.
"Forget it, let's talk about tomorrow's matters tomorrow. After all, it's just an assessment. It won't kill us easily. Don't think about it. Have a good rest and prepare. Let's set off together tomorrow."
After Sanhu finished speaking, they all dispersed and went back to their rooms to rest.
Early the next morning, Ye Guodong took them to set off, told them where the end point was, and then went directly into the forest alone.
According to the rules, the others waited there for a moment before eagerly entering the forest.
Originally, they thought that if they hurry up, they might be able to follow Ye Guodong directly. But after entering the forest, they realized that they were too naive.
Perhaps it was because of the morning, the forest was foggy and hazy, making it difficult for them to see the road ahead, making it even more impossible to catch up with Ye Guodong.
Although the weather is not good when it snows, they can clearly see the road ahead. Although it is more difficult when it rains, the advantage is that beasts rarely appear, but fog is the first time they have encountered it.
In such weather, they couldn't see the road clearly, and they had to be wary of wild beasts in the fog. In addition, the mountain road was difficult to walk, so they had to be more cautious.
Only then did they understand why Ye Guodong taught them how to identify directions yesterday.
In such an environment, if you cannot find the right direction, let alone find the end point and complete the assessment, it will be difficult to go in for a while and then return the same way.
Now no one dared to despise this assessment. They walked forward together, groping for the road ahead bit by bit.
Sanhu shouted: "Everyone, come closer, don't be left alone. If you encounter any danger, shout loudly, and then light a fire stick, so that you can see where the problem is and solve it together."
Everyone approached consciously, and they knew very well that Sanhu was right.
This is the safest and most convenient way, but there are too many of them, the mountain roads are rugged, and there are too many trees. In many places, it is impossible for them to walk next to each other, and they can only separate and merge.
Just like this, the number of people gradually changed.
The fog in the mountain forest became thicker and heavier, and soon, even the things in front of me could not be seen clearly.
After Sanhu shouted a few times, he found that there were only a dozen people left behind him.
He wanted to find some dry firewood, tie it with cloth and make it into a torch to guide them, but in this snowy mountain forest, there was no dry firewood at all. If only cloth was used, the fire would not last long enough and would be ineffective.
After thinking about it, he had to give up.
His team members are not stupid, and they can protect themselves, but in this situation, even if they just learned how to identify the direction yesterday, it is really difficult.
If one accidentally looks in the wrong direction and gets lost in the forest, it will be difficult to find a safe place to rest, let alone the end point.
Sanhu also started to get nervous.
The unknown is scary for anyone.
He groped forward little by little, and he didn't know how much time had passed. When he found the place where he rested during the previous experience, there was no one behind him.
They all got separated.
Sanhu sighed, found a place to sit down, had something to eat, and then rested for a while.
He looked at the fog around him, thinking that maybe the fog would disperse when the sun came out, but after waiting for a long time, the fog became thicker and thicker, so he had to hurry up and move on.
If we keep waiting like this, we won't be able to find our way until dark.
It was not difficult to stay in the forest overnight, but it was not easy to stay overnight in this foggy forest. Moreover, the dry food and water he brought could only last for two days at most, because he never thought that he would be trapped here.
"hateful……"
He whispered, annoyed that he had underestimated this test.
