Chapter 253: The First Move
With excitement, a few people set off quickly, following the direction indicated on the map, over the mountain at their feet, there was a slightly sparse forest in front, due to the abundant sunlight, the inside was slightly drier, and the road was much easier.
Ten minutes later, after walking through the forest, about five kilometers or so, a faint fragrance of flowers filled the air, and the further I went, the stronger the fragrance became.
After walking a short distance, through a dense field of weeds, the eyes suddenly opened up, and a blinding red came into view, and the blood-like red covered the earth.
"Wow, that's beautiful!" The demon wolf couldn't help but admire.
I saw a sea of flowers in front of me, the red flowers are blooming brightly, such as a ball of flame beating in front of you, delicate, this area is not very big, at a glance to the end, a radius of about two hundred meters, all are red flowers like roses, bright red, no other color at all.
"This scene is familiar!" The blue wolf squatted on the ground and looked carefully at the red flowers, which bloomed like begonias, but the stamens were red, and the flower paths were full of spikes, and the height was about fifty centimeters.
When I was training in the Savage Mountain before, I also encountered a similar situation, there were no other plants in the sea of flowers, not even a single tree, it was obvious that the plants that originally grew here were killed by this flower, and it occupied this territory.
Lei Yan looked at the edge of the sea of flowers, a strange weed grew, the blades of the grass were jagged, there were dark green patterns on it, those red flowers could not expand when they encountered these weeds, and these weeds did not seem to be able to kill so many red flowers.
Obviously, this kind of grass is its natural enemy, they restrain each other, and no one can overflow, this is the natural law of heaven and earth, and all things are mutually reinforcing.
"That's right, this is it." Lei Yan took the map, pointed to the flower pattern on it, and said, "Look, the flowers marked here refer to here, and there are spikes on the flower path!" β
The blue wolf took the map and compared it with the red flower, not only the shape of the petals matched, but even the stinger on the flower path was drawn.
"Great, it turns out that these messy drawings are landmarks, as long as you follow the route connecting the landmarks, you can get back to the base as quickly as possible." The blue wolf said excitedly.
"That's right, from the mountain just now to this sea of flowers, it's about ten kilometers, according to the proportion......"
Lei Yan roughly measured it and said, "Follow the instructions on the map, it is only eighty kilometers away from the base, we still have two days to go, and we can climb back." β
"Hehe, I hope we're the first group to discover the secrets of the map!" The demon wolf said with a smile, if you can't see through the instructions of the map, you don't know how many unjust roads you have to take.
"Your wish has been disappointed!" The blood wolf stood not far away and suddenly shouted, "You guys come and see this, someone has found this place one step ahead of us." β
A few people walked over to take a look, leaving a trampled trace in the sea of flowers, a straight road, straight to the opposite side, the red flowers on the road were destroyed, trampled on the shape.
"It's not been long, it's not more than an hour!" The lone wolf squatted beside him and observed, and saw that the broken flower path was still wet, and the footprints left on the ground were not dry.
"Do you want to catch up? In order to get more points, we have to be the first to go back to base. The blood wolf said in a condensed voice.
"What can you do if you catch up, do you still want to kill those guys who walked by before?" The demon wolf turned his head to look at the end of the sea of flowers.
"You can't kill them, but you should be fine to cause some trouble." Lei Yanyin laughed, now that they have one less comrade-in-arms, if they want to get a higher score, they can only use some means.
"Isn't it good for us to win by strength?" The lone wolf patted his head, feeling that it was a bit of a victory to play a trick.
"You're too naΓ―ve, it's training, but it's also a competition, the rules don't say you can't thwart others, look, even if we don't do it, others will." Lei Yan chuckled, whether it was strength or wisdom, he was not afraid, he had enough confidence in terms of strength, and in terms of strategy, that was their strength.
"OK, catch up with them first, if the others don't do it, then we won't do it either, and if there is an obstacle on the way, then it's no wonder that we can't do it." The blue wolf waved his hand and made a forward gesture.
The blood wolf opened the way in front, waving the machete in his hand, cutting through the saffron with stingers, because there were too many stingers, once the flesh was scraped, the consequences were unimaginable, so everyone raised their legs and walked lightly, not daring to walk quickly.
Ten minutes later, several people walked out of the sea of flowers safely under the leadership of the blood wolf, but the scene in front of them surprised everyone.
Not far from the opposite side of the sea of flowers is a cliff, to be precise, a canyon, next to a few big trees, the edge of the cliff is covered with cyan vines, extending to the bottom of the cliff, looking down from above, it is about more than 20 meters deep.
The situation here is not marked on the map, but the road is indeed the direction indicated on the map, which means that if you follow the map, you must cross this cliff.
"Look at this!" The demon wolf crouched under the tree next to him and said loudly.
Lei Yan put away the map and walked over to take a look, only to see that there was a piece of rattan tied to the root of the tree, which extended to the bottom of the cliff, but it had been cut off at the edge of the cliff.
"It's not cut with a knife!" Lei Yan looked at the broken wound, which was uneven, and sneered: "This was shot with a gun." β
The top of the cliff is only more than 20 meters away from the bottom, and for the special combat personnel, after going down, standing at the bottom of the cliff and finding a good angle, they can easily break the vines with a rifle.
"The rattan here has also been destroyed!" The lone wolf observed a circle on the left side, and most of the rattans had been artificially chopped, except for this one, most of the others were cut with knives.
"The situation is obvious, someone deliberately destroyed the rattan to block the footsteps of the people behind them, and you can see it, they have already done it first." Lei Yan shrugged, the situation was really right for him, these guys are worse than the other, how can they honestly compete for strength.
"Let's think about how to go down first!" The blue wolf patted Lei Yan's shoulder.
If you re-connect a rope with rattan, I am afraid that a lot of time will be wasted, and all the vines that can be used on it have been cut, and the longest one is only two or three meters, which has to be connected together to go down to the bottom of the cliff, and the vines connected may not be firm.
Lei Yan stood on the edge of the cliff and looked at it, this is a canyon, wide at the top and narrow at the bottom, you can go around from the other side at the bottom of the cliff, the distance between the two sides of the cliff is only five meters, and the depth is no more than twenty-five meters.
Lei Yan squinted his eyes, turned his head to look at the towering trees next to him, and a flash of inspiration flashed in his brain, and he already had an idea in his heart.
