Chapter 180: Survival Training (2)

The march of the special operations team is not just a rush, it is an absolute forced march. It took only seven days for ordinary mercenaries to complete the road that would take them more than a month to complete, and they entered a place in the Black Forest that even most mercenaries rarely visited. This kind of place is not only rampant with fierce beasts, but what is even more terrifying is those magical beasts, if you are not careful, there will be bloody tragedy.

For safety, the team was divided into several squads, advancing at certain distances, each of which formed a diamond-shaped formation and was capable of attacking.

In the forest, there are many trails trodden by wild beasts, but there are also places where there are overgrown weeds, and the team members carry hand axes with them...... An axe with a face only the size of a palm, but it is very sharp, and it is very convenient to use this axe to open the way.

The consumption of the body is unavoidable, but Hathaway has refined a lot of potions according to the ancient recipes, some of which can be taken directly, and some of which can be added to vegetable soup. Some of these elixirs are used to restore the body, while others are used to relax the mind or strengthen muscles and bones. So after a week, although the figures of these team members were a little thin, their spirits became more and more high...... In ancient times, elves used this potion to train and strengthen their warriors, with few side effects and inexpensive.

Far scouts, that's something Hathaway always remembers. Although there are a few more telescopes in hand, the reconnaissance methods of the Titan world are really barren compared to modern reconnaissance methods. Hathaway is specially trained, and this world happens to have a profession called 'thief', which is a combination of the two. A unique set of reconnaissance techniques was formed. According to the training requirements, the march was to send out a scout team of eight people in four groups, and to disperse a distance of about 100 meters around the entire large group...... The combat environment of the special operations team is different from that of regular troops, and they often have to fight in the heart of the enemy to win more with less. In addition to the high requirements of individual skills, it is also very important for the cooperation between teams.

Hathaway noticed that scouts in the regular army mainly required quick thinking, light movements, and sharp eyes, but did not require high individual combat effectiveness. But this is not the case with special combat teams. Each team member is required to master ranged and melee attack skills, and the opponent who serves as a scout is the best of the best, before each action. Scouts are all selected. To be a scout is definitely an honor second only to the captain. Scouts, on the other hand, are tasked with finding their way, scouting enemies, driving away or hunting lonely monsters, clearing the traces left by the team, and so on.

During the march, the special operators also have to develop the ability to draw maps. and record some information about it...... For example, environmental, plant, animal, etc. In particular, some spellcasting materials, potion materials, etc. Write them all down.

This forest is a natural base of materials, and many of the materials are grown randomly but often in clusters. Knowing the distribution area will make it easier to pick later. Of course, they will not let go of the materials that are now ripe, and they are all received into the space by Hathaway after they are picked. Some of them can be refined into potions immediately, and she will refine them casually, and along the way, she has achieved the greatest results in potion refining.

After going deep into the forest, everyone felt that not only had the number of demonic beasts increased dramatically, but the level was also gradually increasing, but the number of ordinary beasts was decreasing. Fortunately, most of the Warcraft are not of high level, and their appearance is like sending targets to the team members, and they have hunted a lot of materials during this time. The magic crystals and leather of the low-level monsters are very popular, and most of them are sent into the fairy garden space by Hathaway, except for some of the meat for the team members to eat.

She also planned to use that strange jade coral to devour, but those demonic beasts were all low-grade demonic beasts, and now that she was able to refine a potion comparable to the blood elixir, it was better to hand over those animal carcasses to the fairy garden to decompose into energy that could be attracted...... By mistake, the veteran didn't know that she had such a treasure, otherwise he would have instructed her on how to use it correctly.

The Cordillera Plateau has always been known as a paradise for adventurers, in addition to the attraction of some ancient ruins and dark regions, the most important thing is that there are many low-level magical beasts living here, and many of these low-level magical beasts live in groups, they are adaptable, reproduce quickly, not only easy to affect the life and production of local residents, but also easy to guide high-level magical beasts to grow too fast because of sufficient food sources, so the mercenaries will come here to hunt low-level magical beasts, on the one hand, to inhibit their growth, On the other hand, it is also income generation. And when Hathaway began to reorganize the city defense army, he deliberately turned some training items into actual combat, except for the commander of the city defense army, many grassroots officers have been replaced, even if they are not completely controlled by Hathaway, at least they have little connection with the Bell family or the Camille family.

This time survival was mainly wilderness survival training, and although Hathaway had all kinds of food in her space, she didn't take it out for the team to eat. The staple food of this world is bread, and the average person eats coarse bread. But Hathaway taught the chef a special pasta recipe - the pot helmet.

The pot helmet, also known as the pot kui, the pot helmet bun, and the dry bun, is the traditional noodle snack of the Han nationality that urban and rural residents in the Guanzhong area of Shaanxi Province like to eat. The pot helmet is round as a whole, with a diameter of about 1 inch, and weighs 5 catties. Take the wheat flour powder, press the stalks and noodles, and bake in a shallow pot over low heat. The appearance is yellow, the incision is sandy, crispy and palatable, can be put for a long time, and it can be carried, which is more suitable than bread for dry food on the march.

Most of the time, the team members take local materials and eat them in vegetable soup, so after entering the forest for many days, most of them still have dry food on them, and Hathaway compared the map and saw that the team had entered the area where low-level demonic beasts were concentrated, so he decided to stop and camp, and hunt a low-level demonic beast while surviving training in the wild...... Leather can be used to make shields and armor, and magic crystals can be stockpiled.

The scouts found a place with sparse trees, and the camp needed by the hundred and ten men was still quite large, and after sending out the guards, most of them began to clear the trees and weeds in the camp with the tools they carried...... They may be staying here for a few days, so they can't make up for it as much as they would if they were camping.

When others were busy, Hathaway also led people to start setting up guard traps. In this environment, animal instincts are far stronger than humans, so in addition to the vigilant team members, she also led a few selected people to set up guard traps around.

"Donnick, do you have any questions? Let's talk about it and let's solve it together. Hathaway asked after explaining the techniques of arranging magic traps and ordinary traps, and saw the appearance of a member of the team who wanted to stop talking.

"No, instructor, I'm just wondering if the monsters in the forest will take the initiative to attack humans?" Donnick asked.

"Warcraft that live on the edge of the forest rarely attack humans. But the demonic beasts that live in the depths of the forest have a strong sense of territory and vigilance. When we appear in front of them and linger, they are likely to think that this is disrespectful to them...... or threaten, and thus initiate an attack. ”

The crowd talked and set traps. Under Hathaway's guidance, more than twenty traps were quickly arranged, in addition to seven or eight magic traps, there were more than a dozen ordinary traps, but these traps were very subtle, and it was really too difficult to sneak into the camp quietly.

The leveling of the camp progressed quickly, dozens of trees were cut down by the team members in turn, and dragged around the camp to build a rudimentary wooden fence, about a magic time, everyone leveled a clearing large enough for the special operators to live, and quickly cleaned up the branches, weeds, and some large stones on the ground, and began to set up tents for Hathaway so that their instructors could rest early.

Because it's wilderness survival training, except for Stilwell, the King of Shadows. Ponson secretly followed outside of protection, Irona, Barthes. Willy and the others stayed in the Lord's Mansion, so Hathaway had no one to serve, and she had to be self-sufficient.

The night in the forest comes earlier than outside, and at night, the special operations team can't move freely, although Hathaway wants to train the team members, but she won't let them move when there are monsters everywhere...... Of course, the military training program at night is also indispensable, which has been carried out before. In fact, in order to effectively protect the team members, she also sprinkled a circle of special potions outside the camp, and it was impossible for those low-level demonic beasts to storm the camp, at most they could peep around.

The special operators lit a dozen bonfires in the open space in the middle of the camp and began to prepare dinner. In a short time, the air was filled with the aroma of grilled meat and broth. On the grill, the grease dripping from the golden meat pieces from time to time splashed clusters in the bonfire, and the soup in the cauldron was tumbling, making a 'gurgling' sound, and the aroma was overflowing.

The team members gathered around the grill and the meat pot, glancing at each other from time to time, talking and laughing loudly, and only then would they remove the layer of maturity that did not belong to their age group, revealing the nature of young people. After a while, the laughter gradually subsided as dinner began, and the sound of chewing and swallowing sounded in the camp, and the team members broke the pieces of pots and helmets and soaked them in the soup, eating very sweetly.

In the jungle around the camp, it was still dark, and a pair of green eyes flickered in the darkness, and from time to time there was a roar of beasts, which were attracted by the smell of food or campfires, and they wandered around irritably, coveting the smell of the food in front of them, but fearing it. (To be continued......)
