In the year 1118 of the Tianfeng calendar, November of the 38th year of the empire, in another month, the end of the year will come.

Hu Wei did not train at this time, and he was not even in Xigan, where the new corps was stationed, but in the Linmei Forest, hundreds of miles away.

Linmei Forest is the westernmost part of Qingzhou and a corner in the northwest corner of the empire. Judging from the map, through the Linmei Forest, past the Longjiang Mountains, and further on, it is the territory of the Chihe Empire.

That's how the map is drawn, but for thousands of years, no one has been able to get out of it like this. First of all, it is not that the Longjiang Mountains are frozen all year round, stretching for thousands of miles, and it is difficult for birds to cross. The forest alone is daunting enough.

Fifteen days ago, the 3rd Wing of the New 1st Corps, where Hu Wei belonged, was transferred to Linmei Forest. They have only one mission, which is to catch 100 snow spirit monkeys by November 15.

The snow monkey is endemic to the Linmei Forest, it can be snow-white, come and go like the wind, and is cunning like a fox. In November, the forest is already snowing heavily. In such an environment, it is quite difficult to find out, let alone grasp.

Today is the third of November, and the total number of snow spirit monkeys caught by the third wing is less than thirty, which makes the wing captain Link very annoyed. No, the 1,000 people belonging to the 3rd Wing, who were sheltering from the wind and snow in the camp, were all driven out by him.

"This hell weather, this hell place, it's really not human. Zhu Daneng tightened the clothes on his body and tried to shrink his neck into the clothes.

"It's cold enough. Hu Wei agreed. Hu Wei estimates that the current temperature is at least minus 20 degrees. It was the first time he had come to such a cold place.

Hou San, who usually dances the most in the class, is also dying today. He has always liked to disagree with Zhu Daneng, and he can't say anything crooked. It's a very cold place, and he agrees.

"Hey, I said brothers, don't cower. The more you shrink, the more you come, you look at me, get used to it, and it's fine. Seedorf, who was at the front of the line, patted his chest.

Everyone glanced at Seedorf, but none of them were interested in dealing with him. If there is anyone in the entire team, who is the most resistant to cold, it is undoubtedly this kid.

Seedorf was a Mandala who grew up in the Chihe Empire. The Chihe Empire was located in the northwest of the Heavenly Wind Continent, and the hottest place there was much colder than the Linmei Forest. The average temperature throughout the year is only 0 degrees Celsius. And the people who came out of that place did not know what cold was. Telling him this is a waste of energy.

"I said Seedorf, can you put on more clothes, I see you like this, I am cold for you. Lildo, who was born in Midstate, said angrily. Zhongzhou is located in the center of the empire and is the location of the imperial capital Dragon City. There is not much difference in temperature all year round, the cold weather is not too cold, and the summer is not too hot. So Lildo's ability to resist the cold is one of the weakest in the class.

Seedorf shook the single clothes on his body and said, "It's okay." I still feel hot. Hehe. ”

"Do any of you know what this snow spirit monkey is for?" Zhu Daneng asked suddenly.

Hu Wei thought for a while and said: "Shangfeng has always emphasized that he must catch it alive, and there can be no wounds, I think it should be of some special use." ”

"The master guessed a little bit, who else knows?" Zhu Daneng asked again.

"I've heard that this snow spirit monkey is going to be sent to the imperial capital. I don't know what it's used for. Seedorf also joined the conversation.

"Zhu Daneng, do you know it?" Hou San habitually said.

Zhu Daneng smiled and said, "I only know a rough idea." But there is one person in our class who knows for sure. ”

"Who?" Hu Wei asked. He was also curious about the mission. At first, when the army was mobilized, he thought there was going to be a war. Later, he learned that they were asking them to catch monkeys. More than 1,000 people from the whole team came to a place like Linmei Forest just to catch a hundred monkeys, which can be regarded as a big deal.

"Larley. Zhu Daneng pointed to a white-faced young man beside Rildo.

For a moment, everyone's attention turned to Larley. Born in the imperial capital, Lalei is the most quiet person in the class, a little introverted, and rarely takes the initiative to speak. Usually only get closer to Lildo, who is also from Mid-State.

"Lalei, do you know what the Snow Spirit Monkey is used for?" asked Hu Wei. This Lalei is very shy, if he hadn't swept it with his clair-eyed eyes, Hu Wei once suspected that he was learning from Mulan to join the army on behalf of his father.

"I heard my father say it, and I don't know if it's right or not. Larley replied in a soft drizzle.

"Can you tell us about that?" Hu Wei also lowered his voice. He's a little worried he'll make Larley cry.

"My father told me that this matter should not be passed on. Laray said weakly.

"There's something you can't pass on, isn't that just a little thing? Zhu Daneng said with a grin.

"Zhu Daneng, you know that you just said it, why do you want to say it. Liardo dissatisfied.

"I don't want to give him a chance to express himself. Zhu Daneng said.

"Zhu Daneng, let's talk about it, let us all understand what is going on. Hu Wei said in the tone of a referee. Although he is not a big official, he is the husband of this group, and he still has a certain right to speak.

Zhu Daneng nodded, and said with a look of obedience: "Before I say it, I want to ask everyone first." Does anyone know where the most precious place for the snow monkey is?"

"Getting to the point. Hou San stretched out his head and threw out a few words, and then shrank back. From a distance, this guy looks like a raispi dog that has been violently beaten, with no shape all over his body.

Zhu Daneng looked at Lalei and Rildo, who had been standing beside Lalei, and said, "I'll just say it." The most precious thing about the snow monkey is its brain. It is recognized as the most intelligent animal in the entire continent except for humans. ”

"Good brains, could it be that we caught the snow spirit monkeys to train them, thinking that they were used by the army?" asked Hu Wei.

In Hu's mind, if the snow spirit monkey is very intelligent and has training methods, then it is likely to have a military use. This may be the reason why Larley is reluctant to say.

The reason why Hu Wei thinks this way is because he has seen a lot of things about this method when he was walking the rivers and lakes. Among the eight gates of the rivers and lakes, there is a trick of training monkeys and goats to make money. In ancient times, there were also stories of eagle training to reconnoiter the enemy. It is not impossible to use the snow spirit monkey for military purposes,

Zhu Daneng glanced at Hu Wei deeply, and secretly praised him in his heart for his broad thinking, and he could actually think of these. It's a pity that he overestimated the big guys in the empire too much.

"The husband has a special idea, but the answer is not this. There is such a saying among the upper nobles of the imperial capital. The brain of the snow spirit monkey can make people smart.

Let's not say whether there is any basis for this statement, but it is an indisputable fact that the brain of the snow spirit monkey is delicious. ”！
