Lin Feng and his entourage crossed the mountains and mountains and traveled north quickly.

Every time they encountered a terrain, Lin Feng and the others had to stop for a while and sketch the basic conditions of the landform here, such as shape, height, and orientation, onto the map. At the beginning, Lin Feng watched Zhao Chengyu scratching the brush and drawing, and suddenly realized that he had to invent charcoal and pencil as soon as possible.

The simplest charcoal pencil is also easy to get, Lin Feng directly instructed Chen Fei to find a willow tree, fold a few willow branches of suitable thickness, and burn the front end of it into charcoal with a fire fold, but the pencil must wait until the graphite is slowly found later. Zhao Chengyu chose the most primitive charcoal pen and drew two lines on the paper, and found that although the imprint was jerky, it was much more comfortable than a brush.

Every time he stopped, Lin Feng did not let the others simply rest, and asked them to investigate the nearby terrain in batches to observe whether there were small animals and edible plants, while Li Congqian and Chen Fei carefully gathered around Zhao Chengyu and Zhao Tianba, first visually measuring the height and distance of the target, and then confirming each other, and finally transforming it into points or lines on the map.

Fifteen miles north of the valley is the river, and it took less than an hour for the group to reach the river, and then return to the vicinity of the valley.

Lin Feng and the others did not enter the valley, and directly carried out two teams on the mountain: they brought Zheng Yufu to wait, some soldiers of the forbidden army who participated in special training, and Li Congqian and Chen Fei's children; Zheng Yucong led two groups of Zhou Qizhi and Yan Ruoli and some specially trained forbidden soldiers, and Zhao Tianba was also temporarily transferred to serve as the "accompanying army mapping expert" for that team.

Lin Feng called Zheng Yucong and especially told him that the pursuit of the forbidden army in front of him should be stopped, and the pressure on the front can be maintained. Zheng Yucong nodded in agreement, and after hitting the chest three times, he led the team to chase east.

Waiting for the team to disperse, Lin Feng once again divided his team, Wei San and the other six Zheng Wangfu guards were divided into two groups, Wei San led two people forward to explore the road to track down the southbound team, and the other group of three people were responsible for mapping. The rest of the 19 Forbidden Army soldiers scattered in all directions, keeping watch around and gathering any edible animals and plants, but not to make too much noise.

The morning passed quickly. At noon, a group of people all gathered at a small ditch and began the so-called lunch. Perhaps because there was already a squad of men and horses sweeping ahead, all the soldiers searching for food basically returned empty-handed.

After drinking a stomach of water, Lin Feng took out a steamed bun from his arms, took a small bite, and chewed it slowly. Others followed suit, as if that bite of steamed bun was the best food in the world.

It's still to come when you're sad! After Lin Feng finished eating, he carefully picked up the steamed bun, and said with a smile: "It's not okay to go on like this!" These guys in front are so ruthless, we have to speed up a little bit, get them a chicken, fly and jump or something, and save them nothing to eat and leave us with nothing! ”

A group of people laughed, agreed, packed their bags and continued to set off.

Previously, Lin Feng stipulated that the overall itinerary was one hundred and fifty miles, which was planned at a speed of one hundred miles a day, but at a speed of twenty miles per hour, if it was on flat land, everyone would have no problem completing this task, but if it was changed to a mountain road, it would be much more difficult. Along the way, many of the mountains were rarely unwalked before, and the group sometimes had to build improvised bridges and use knives to cut through thorns in order to move forward. Originally, on the previous journey, it was easy to find the slight traces of the team in front of you, but the further back, the more difficult it was to find the traces. It seems that Ge Chang and the others have also realized that they can't easily let the team behind them find their traces.

Lin Feng and his party were walking forward on a ridge when Wei San's figure suddenly flashed out from behind the tree in front of them. He told Lin Feng that there was a five-meter-wide cliff five hundred meters ahead, and if he detoured, it was estimated that it would take at least an hour. According to the traces of the investigation, the front team was detouring from the right.

Lin Feng signaled to the children in the back and asked everyone to come closer, Chen Fei and Li Congqian made a few bird calls respectively, and the forbidden soldiers and guards in the rear quickly gathered on the cliff when they heard the news.

This is a broken peak, as if a huge knife has cut through, dividing this section of the mountain range into two sections, with a spacing of five meters, and a cliff depth of seven or eight meters, and the cliff wall is very steep.

Lin Feng smiled, untied his backpack, and took out a thick rope, which he picked up from the waste items of the previous construction workers last night. The big guy's eyes lit up immediately, and they all rushed to be the first to go down the rope.

Lin Feng roughly compared, the rope was only about five meters, and the cliffs on both sides were bare, and there were no big trees. Lin Feng called three guards over, grabbed the rope, and let Wei San, who had the best martial arts, take the lead in the rope.

Wei San tightened the weapon on his body, spat into the palm of his hand, waved at everyone, and grabbed the rope down. Soon, Wei San went down to the bottom of the rope, jumped lightly, landed steadily, and then waved his hand to everyone, indicating that it was okay.

Lin Feng motioned for the forbidden soldiers to go down one by one, and when they arrived at Li Congqian and Chen Fei, several guards thought it was too troublesome to go down one by one, so they directly wrapped a few circles around their waists, half fell and half put down, and the adults below were responsible for catching them.

Then there was Lin Feng, he tried it, and found that the injury on his left arm still had an impact on the rope, and he was not reckless, so he wrapped a rope around his waist, half grabbed and half put it on the ground. The rest of the guards took turns to go down, and the last one of the guards was a Korean with a better body style, he held a knife in his mouth and climbed down, but when he got to the halfway, he really had nowhere to stay, so he had to shout, and the whole person jumped down and was caught by Wei San and others.

After flowing water from the stream under the cliff, it was still Wei San who opened the way, and took the lead in climbing up with a rope, and then went up one by one, this time, it was several children who were hung up after the most sloppy.

Lin Feng saw Li Congqian coming up at the last one, gave him a thumbs up, expressed his appreciation for his approach of putting others before himself, and then turned to everyone and said: "We didn't go around, we should have bought us some time, everyone is still in the same formation as before, continue to move forward." Wei San, the three of you can go a little longer and scare the guys in front! ”

The crowd agreed in an uproar and took the order.

Even though the sky has been gloomy, you can clearly feel that it is getting darker. Lin Feng secretly touched his cooing belly, looked at Li Congqian who was walking in front of him, and found that he was also touching his stomach from time to time, while the Chen Fei brothers behind him did not react. Come to think of it, for them, who were originally orphans, hunger was commonplace.

Lin Feng took a step forward, walked to Li Congqian's side, touched his head, and asked, "Your Highness the Nine, do you understand why we are holding this event?" Hearing Lin Feng's question, Li Congqian lowered his head and went down to think, and Chen Fei and the others also hurried two steps and gathered around Lin Feng.

"Teacher, I think in addition to completing the drawing homework, you are also testing everyone's physical limits." Li Congqian raised his head and replied.

"Good, is there anything else?" Lin Feng asked.

"And also, hone everyone's will?" Li Congqian replied with some uncertainty.

"Yes. This is one of our main purposes. The will of each of us is like a hard gemstone wrapped in a stone, and if it is not sharpened, the gemstone may sleep in it forever. When we are faced with hardships, difficulties, and predicaments, our will may be easily overwhelmed, especially if you have been clothed and fed since childhood, and it is very easy to indulge in it, and the will cannot be tempered. Fortunately, you refused to give up and chased you to the valley. Lin Feng patted Li Congqian's shoulder with satisfaction, looked around at the children walking around him, and continued to say loudly:

"When is our mind at its purest? I think that we can only hear our inner voice when the body is extremely tired and the mind is so calm that we completely forget all the disturbances of the outside world! Now, only a few of us are here, I can say what is in my heart, in fact, my biggest expectation for this assignment is you, I hope you can persevere, can quietly think about what kind of person I am going to be, how do I spend my life? ”

The children were silent.

Lin Feng laughed: "Don't worry, it's still early, and you may not really feel it until the night after tomorrow." Especially you guys, I hope you don't do this task just for the sake of homework! ”

At this time, two forbidden soldiers emerged from the woods on the right and proudly raised the two hares in their hands to Lin Feng.
