Chapter 689: Poisonous Mushrooms
Translator: Lordbluefire
A group of people stood together, and the soldiers would definitely check their equipnt after landing.
After all, when the parachutes ca down, so scraped against nearby tree branches, which could potentially damage sothing.
For example, at this very mont, a young soldier from the Ji family’s army picked up his water bottle and saw that it was leaking at the bottom. He was almost in tears. “Isn’t this water bottle supposed to be very sturdy? How could it leak?”
In this kind of place, fresh water was hard to find, as the water in the rivers could be polluted.
So, when they ca, they had to bring a little water. By conserving this water, they could last until the fifth day.
Now that the water bottle was leaking, the soldier was almost in tears. What was he going to do next?
When General Ji heard his exclamation, he was slightly startled. (Did that woman really get it right?)
But after seeing his own soldier’s situation, he quickly recovered and sneered, “What’s all the fuss? It’s just a broken water bottle, isn’t it? When the ti cos, let the others give you water to drink If that doesn’t work, well find a place with fresh water in the wild.1‘
After finishing speaking, he looked at Shen Ruojing and scoffed, ’’Princess, your Yan family’s army should have so damage too, right?’1
Of course, there were damages on the Yan family’s side as well. So people’s clothes were torn by tree branches, and so had spilled their dicine powder on the ground. However, the water bottles were very hard and of good quality, so none of them were broken.
Shen Ruojing glanced thoughtfully at the soldier who had just exclaid, her gaze falling on his water bottle.
(He seems to have hit a rock when he fell, which is why General Ji doesn’t suspect…)
Shen Ruojing then retracted her gaze and didn’t bother to argue with him. After all, no matter what she said now, he wouldn’t believe her. Hence, she simply gestured to Yan Zixuan. “Which direction should we go?”
The island was huge, and no one knew in which direction the flag had been planted. Therefore, everyone would spread out and search in all directions.
The reason the Yan family’s army always won the martial arts tournant was that if the Luo family’s army or the Ji family’s army found the flag, the other teams could snatch it.
In such a martial arts tournant, the early stages tested the soldiers’ ability to survive in the wild, while the later stages truly assessed their martial arts skills. However, in this martial arts tournant, no one took the Yan family’s army seriously anymore because having ten female soldiers was equivalent to having ten fewer fighters.
Both General Ji and Luo Jian considered each other their biggest rivals this ti, and they had long since excluded the Yan family’s army.
The two sides glanced at each other and imdiately chose different directions. Everyone then dispersed.
Before finding the flag, there was no need for them to fight.
Besides, with three teams in total, wouldn’t the remaining team benefit from the other two fighting?
No one was that foolish.
Yan Zixuan led the Yan family’s army and Shen Ruojing’s female soldiers toward the north, quickly putting so distance between themselves and the soldiers behind them.
Yan Zixuan then stopped and called his personal guard. “You go and scout those two teams. We don’t want to be ambushed and not even know it.’1
In the wilderness, with three armies harboring their own thoughts, military tactics were crucial.
When the personal guard went away, Luo Yan couldn’t help but say, “I didn’t expect the martial arts tournant to be so particular!”
Yan Zixuan nodded. ’’Yes, do you think the martial arts tournant is just a bunch of people fighting? What you’re thinking is too simple. Just like in modern warfare, it’s not only about a country’s military power but also various strategics. Especially since the environnt is different in each place, different thods need to be adopted…’1
Luo Yan listened to him and stared at him.
At this mont, soone suddenly spoke from a distance, “There arc wild mushrooms here! They must be delicious!11
Everyone looked over.
In fact, when they ca, they brought compressed biscuits. After all, in modern society, there was no need for them to cat tree bark and find food for themselves. No matter what, they needed to be prepared with food.
Soone nearby said, “Don’t touch it, we have food.”
Upon hearing this, the person who discovered the mushrooms suddenly spoke, “But the supplies exchanged by the Luo family’s army and the Ji family’s army don’t include them.11
With this remark, everyone fell silent.
All the people in the Yan family’s army couldn’t help but look at Yan Zixuan, with stubborn expressions on their faces. “Captain, let’s not eat the compressed biscuits either.”
Their intention was clear – they wanted fair competition.
They didn’t want to be accused of being unfair if they won the contest in the end.
Just as Yan Zixuan was about to speak, Shen Ruojing calmly said, “These mushrooms are not edible.”
Everyone imdiately looked at her.
Shen Ruojing explained, “This is a tropical rainforest. So indeed, there arc many things here that can satisfy our hunger, but we must be cautious. These mushrooms are poisonous.”
She looked worried and then added, “Moreover, this place is too far from human habitation, and many plants here arc quite different from those on land. I suspect that the plants here have undergone so mutations. It’s better not to cat them if we can avoid it”
Upon hearing this, the soldier who found the mushrooms imdiately beca unwilling and said directly, “Princess, I know you ladies arc delicate and can’t bear it, but I’m not afraid. I want to eat..”
