Chapter Twenty-Four: The Bear Blind, the Wild Ginseng
Actual combat exercises are not confrontations between people, but more often than not, confrontations between people and nature.
Fortunately, the weather at the end of June, even in the northernmost part of the motherland, was very good.
Even if the sky is overcast, it does not affect the temperature in the forest at all.
And if it's winter, I guess there aren't many people who can stand the cold, and if that's the case, I think my chances of getting the top three should be very high.
For now, I'm going to shrink cautiously and get some food reserves.
I didn't stay too long after making up my mind, I thought about it, and walked in the opposite direction of the helicopter for two reasons: first, the helicopter's speed landing point was marked on the director's side, and it was easy to be grasped, and second, in order to increase the confrontational nature of the actual combat exercise, with the crew, it would inevitably be mixed with red and blue, and if I continued to move in the direction of the east, I would have a great chance of crashing into the blue side, thus clashing prematurely.
If there is a disparity in strength, I can hold the other party and obtain the identity of the other party, so that I can have a dual identity.
But if the strength of the two sides is equal and they fight each other, if there is a mistake on my side, even if they are not defeated and they are injured, then it is very likely that they will be eliminated by the cruel exercise environment.
So in the current situation, before I am absolutely sure, what I should do is to avoid fighting.
As the saying goes, "build a high wall, accumulate a lot of grain, and slow down the king," such a policy is also very correct in the course of the current exercise.
In the dense forest on the northeast border, I walked through the tall trees and low bushes, it was summer time, and it was also the most suitable time for the entire northeast, and I walked for more than an hour, as I thought, I did not meet any students, nor did I see the teacher of the training department of the Tianji Department, which is said to be "ubiquitous".
What's more, there is an endless reckless forest plain, and countless creatures in between.
Along the way, I picked a lot of wild fruits with the knowledge I had learned in the previous training, such as nightshade, wild hawthorn, wild blueberry, blackcurrant, cattail, small root garlic, and the ubiquitous purslane, which lay low on the ground and had oblong thick leaves, which looked disgusting and tasted very unpalatable, but it was still effective in sustaining life.
I was wearing a cadet uniform, which was actually a camouflage uniform without any logos, a coat, and a short-sleeved one.
Because there are too many mosquitoes, snakes and ants in the forest, I have to take off my short sleeves and use them to make a package to collect these berries, and as for the dry food, I try not to touch it as much as possible.
It's meant to save lives, and I won't eat it unless I have to.
Using the knowledge of survival in the wild, I filled my stomach with wild vegetables and berries, but I was still a little hungry because these were some of the things that could not be eaten, but I managed to endure the constant stomach acid in my stomach and try to move forward.
This large forest area of Xiaoxing'an Mountains is a primeval forest that is inaccessible, with vast forests and steep mountains, and it is very difficult to enter and exit, but it is an excellent place for living beings to live and reproduce, as long as you look for it carefully, you will definitely not be afraid of hunger.
When night fell, I collected more food.
In addition to berries, wild vegetables, nuts and some edible mushrooms, I also found a specialty of the old forests of Northeast China.
Wild ginseng.
I found this thing in a pine forest, and because I had been trained, I knew a little about the plants in this area, and I didn't think it at first glance when I looked at it from afar.
And at the second glance, that kind of exciting feeling suddenly came to mind.
I lay on the ground, carefully with my hands, the thing to dig out, carefully observed, found that it ginseng body is beautiful, the five forms are good, the body is strong and strong, the quality is exquisite, the whiskers are long and bent around the dragon snake flying, the pearl point is prominent, the reed head is long, the two horse teeth are round and the reeds are many, according to the knowledge taught by the previous teacher, this wild ginseng, even if there is no one hundred years, there must be seventy or eighty years of cultivation and growth.
It's hidden in the grass, it's hard to spot, and if it weren't for my eyes, the dynamic vision is so strong that I might have missed it.
I carefully took it out, removed the dirt from the roots, and carried it in my arms.
This thing has many effects, replenishing the five organs, calming the spirit, calming the soul, stopping palpitations, removing evil qi, brightening the eyes, being happy and intellectual, and prolonging life for a long time, and for practitioners, it is the best choice for replenishing qi and calming the mind.
Fighting with people for a long time, or during a long chase, holding a piece of ginseng in the mouth can help the practitioner quickly regain his breath, so that he can recover more quickly and return to the fight.
For this unexpected joy, I was very concentrated, carried it in my pocket, and kept it close to me.
It's just that even so, there are still some things that are not very convenient, and at this time, I can't help but miss my demon refining ball when I was participating in actual combat exercises, I was asked to take it off and hand it over to the school for unified safekeeping, after all, it can hold a lot of things, if you wear it and put supplies in it, it is really a huge injustice to others.
I was about to leave after I had collected the 80-year-old wild ginseng, when I suddenly smelled an indescribable smell of fish, and when I looked up, I met a pair of big dark and shiny eyes.
This is a big guy, the body is big and thick, the whole height is two meters, the limbs are short and thick, the palms and plantars are thick, the claws are strong and curved, the whole body is black, there is a crescent-shaped white spot on the chest, and a pair of dark and shiny eyes, staring at me.
When I looked at it, the beast whimpered, and with a kick on its hind legs, it rushed at me like a tank at high speed.
Bear blind.
The moment I saw the beast, I immediately remembered this endemic beast in the old forests of the northeast.
Don't look clumsy, stupid, stupid, but it is a generation of overlords in the old forests of the Northeast, and the strength of the two arms can give birth to a split lion and tiger, and whether it is climbing a tree or entering the water, there is no obstacle.
Especially when you see the body plate formed by grinding pine resin on its body, it makes people feel a little invulnerable.
And its eyes, full of anger and anger, actually made me feel like I was looking at people.
The intelligence of this beast is very high.
It can't be dedicated to guarding this wild ginseng, right?
As I thought about it, the man stepped back, and saw that the blind bear was huge, but on the whole he was extremely dexterous, marching and charging, almost at high speed, and when he saw that he was about to come to him, he waved his palm.
I stepped back and let it shoot out.
bang
With a loud bang, the bear's paw landed on a pine tree the size of a bowl, and the tree snapped and fell to the ground, and I felt the terrifying power of the beast.
But even so, I didn't panic too much, and kept going around in circles with the blind bear, and then looked around.
This thing roared and screamed, and made too much noise, and I was worried that if there were students passing by, they would be attracted to it.
Such a big bear may have been an insurmountable mountain for me in the past, but at this moment, it is just a big lump of food to walk on, and I have ten thousand ways to deal with it.
What really scares me is the students of the advanced research class who are deep in the dense forest.
Those of my classmates are the ones who are intimidating.
After entangling like this for a while, I found that there was no one around, so I took out the lava rod, poured it with demonic power, and after making it hot, I looked at a small space, lured the beast in, and then lifted the rod up, and smashed the beast's skull in three or two strokes, and eliminated it.
The blind bear was very fierce, but after all, he was just a brute, and after beating me to death, he lay on the ground and bled a puddle of blood.
I stepped forward and lifted its arm, and found that it weighed about four or five hundred pounds.
It's fat.
This pile of bear meat, if made into jerky, is enough to carry me for a week, and it is more than enough, but how to deal with it, this is the real headache for me.
First of all, I had to find a source of water, I had to deal with the blind bear, and then I had to cut it, and then I had to cut it
However, the headache was that I had nothing on my hands but my bare hands and a molten rod.
I thought about it for a while and decided to go find a water source first.
When I found the water source, I came back and dragged the bear to dispose of it.
Wait, it's such a big one, I'd better only take a part of it, it's too much, but it becomes a burden and a burden, and it's easy to be targeted.
After making up my mind, I set off, but fortunately, there was still plenty of water in the bear-infested area.
Soon, five minutes away from the place, I found a small waterhole.
After finding the pool, I took a big sip of water, and I felt that the water was cool and sweet, and the fatigue dissipated a lot.
Then I washed my face and walked back.
I'm full of thoughts about how to deal with that big bear, bear bile is a good thing, and although the bear meat is not very tasty, it is enough to fill the stomach, and the bear paw is said to be a first-class gourmet ingredient, although it is not a winter bear paw, but
Come to think of it, it's all beautiful.
I walked back in anticipation, but when I got to the place where the bear carcass had been kept, I found nothing but a puddle of blood.
It's as if nothing had happened here.
What the hell is going on?
The little Buddha said: Add more at noon, it is proper.
