When the bridge was being built, Sima Jiang also said: "This pontoon bridge is erected, it can't be just kept so good-looking, right? Maybe there will be some cruel training waiting for us?" Sure enough, as he said, the next day, at breakfast, Xiang Yu spoke: " Everyone is well fed, the next thing will be a half-month survival training, cross the pontoon bridge, go to the five hundred miles of Shouyang Mountain in the south, advance from the east to the west mountain, and then return, survive in the wild, there are wild beasts inside, there are many mechanisms, you are divided into two teams, one team is led by Sikong Yu, and the other team is led by Sima Jiang, and set off immediately after eating!"

After eating, the two teams of five people crossed the bridge and walked towards Shouyang Mountain. Sikong Yu thought to himself: My old grandson, what kind of dangerous mountains and rivers have not been crossed in the western sky, and this song is 500 miles away from Shouyang Mountain. He tightened Chanjuan's hand and instructed, "Come close to me, don't go far?" Chanjuan broke away from his hand with a "hmm" sound. Shouyang Mountain is the closest to Fangcun Mountain, inaccessible to people, and the group of beasts are infested, the grass and trees are verdant, the withered vines are entangled, there is no way to find, only a new road from the secluded. This is the season of early autumn, the mountain flowers are splendid, swaying in the wind, it seems to welcome the arrival of people, Chanjuan picks a purple flower and smells its sweetness pleasantly, after smelling it, it is very good-looking to put it on the head, red sleeves, Zhiqiu is also happy to put the flowers on the head, showing a rare charm under the sassy and heroic posture. Dongfang Ran said while cutting the tangled strips with his sword: "You are too happy at the price, treat this place as an amusement park, and there will be your good garden to gnaw later." Red Sleeves stepped forward, "Dongfang Ran shut your crow's mouth!" Red Sleeves covered his mouth, and everyone laughed. The flowers of the mountains welcomed them, but the wild beasts did not seem to welcome them. A big python spitting out a letter from the front to Dongfang Ran, Sikong Yu shouted: "Be careful of snakes!" An arrow stepped in front of Si Fang Ran, a stick fell, and the snake was clever, dodged a catastrophe, but pounced on Sikong Yu, his big mouth cannibalism was easy, Sikong Yu hit with a stick, not only did not die, but more rampant, this is a giant python that has become a fine for hundreds of years, its body is broken everywhere and the trees are broken, and after a while, it swept out of an open field, Dugu Xia followed like a shadow, swung his sword and slashed at the snake, without seeing blood, ! The air provoked it to be more ferocious, a few feet in a leap, at this time Chanjuan flew up, stood on the snake body, took out the ribbon and tied it seven inches, the more it moved, the tighter the belt was like a hoop, only to see Chanjuan drink softly, waving the ribbon, the python pulled an arc in the air, and then fell heavily on the ground and couldn't move, Sima Jiang's spear stabbed it in the abdomen, left and right, and it had already been disemboweled. The red sleeve stepped forward, and between its still sparkling eyes, its powerful body became soft and ribbon-like. Everyone was in danger, which was a big relief. Duguxia picked it with his sword and laughed: "Haha, you dare to attack us, isn't this a few of our meals?" Sima Jiang held his hands and shouted: "Try my Sima Jiang's craftsmanship today, this is a delicacy that I used to eat, I haven't eaten it for many years, but it's a big guy, hahaha!" Sima Jiang smiled heartily, Zhiqiu came up to help, peeled off the skin, removed the poison glands, and found a poison weed in the forest and put it in the pot, under the fierce burning of the bonfire, it didn't take long to smell the smell of meat. Sikong Yu laughed: "My grandson, I'm afraid I'm going to break the vows, but I'm not allowed to bring dry food?" Duguxia waved his hand and said, "There's nothing to eat, you can't starve to death, right? Come I'll eat first!" After he gave everyone a large handful of chopsticks that he had just sharpened with a branch, he picked up a large piece of meat and ate it in a big gulp, and everyone stepped forward one after another, and a pot of snake meat was eaten up from time to time.

Sikong Yu patted his stomach happily and said, "I haven't eaten meat for nearly a thousand years, it's really delicious in the world." The next trip will be even more difficult, if you find wild fruits and other food picked, it would be good to find something to eat, isn't it? Go, continue to hurry!" A mosquito flew on his face, and he slapped a red bloodstain, "Good guy, the mosquito is as big as a prawn, and I would rather die than give up that mouthful of blood, don't say it, this mosquito is really brave, and it is like home!" Everyone couldn't help but laugh when they heard it.

Helan Xue ran to Sikong Yu's side with the long golden flute, and walked side by side, he raised the golden flute and pointed at Sikong Yu and said: "I, Helan Xue, have heard for the first time that there are still praise mosquitoes, hahaha, do you think about what other insects are worthy of your praise?" Si Kongyu scratched his cheeks, what was so strange about this, but he still thought about it for a moment and didn't come up with it. Zhiqiu came up and said: "It's not simple, it's smaller than mosquitoes, isn't there ants, don't be small, it can move things that are several times heavier than it." Dongfang Ran also stepped forward and said, "You forgot that the little thing of 'a thousand miles of embankment, destroyed in an anthill', should not be underestimated?"

Everyone talked and walked, and after a while, they came to an open field, and in front of them, a few bison were grazing, and a few sika deer were running and frolicking, which seemed so quiet and peaceful in the sun. At this time, it was suddenly dark, and when everyone looked up, they saw a dark cloud covering the sun, and the dark cloud slowly moved and flew from this side of the western sky. Sikong Yu couldn't help but be taken aback, and hurriedly said: "Everyone, don't make noise, my grandson will come when he goes!" After that, Sikong Yu turned over and flew west. Everyone guessed what kind of demon it was, and as they got closer and closer, they heard a buzzing sound. Helan Xue slapped her thigh: "It's a locust, it must be a locust plague, everywhere you go, there is not a single grass left, disperse quickly!" Everyone hurriedly dispersed.

There was a voice from the west, and Sikong Yu's voice "Quick, hurry up and prepare firewood!" As soon as the words fell, Sikong Yu floated down from the sky, and everyone surrounded him. "What are you doing in a daze, it's a flying ant, a terrible flying ant, prepare firewood quickly, only use a long attack, there is no other way, otherwise it will be too late!" Everyone hurriedly ran into the woods, cut down the pine pines, and piled up a large pile. I saw that the ant cloud had flown in front of the bison, and after a short stay, a few bison only left skeletons, and a few sika deer, which were also not spared.

Sikong Yu shouted: "Ignite the fire! Hurry up and ignite the fire! Come here!" The buzzing sound of the cloud ants was deafening, and it had already pressed down on the crowd! Sikong Yu lifted the fire and rose into the air, stopping the cloud ants, only hearing the burning sound of "snorting", Duguxia also picked up the torch, and the flying ants on the ground were like clouds, and from time to time they were connected again, and the flying ants had climbed on their bodies; Chanjuan and Zhiqiu were also waving torches, burning down the dead flying ants one after another; Dongfang Ran shouted while dancing the torches:" Don't let the fire break, continue to chop wood, a few people on the ground have already been bitten by flying ants and crawled. The fire is getting stronger and stronger, and the clouds that have been eliminated by the flying ants are scattered like strands, still rushing forward heroically, a pungent smell of difficulty fills the air, and the fire dances like a dragon, until finally, all the flying ants in the air are destroyed. Everyone stopped and laughed at each other, and lay on the ground panting, looking at the skeleton of the bison that was eaten by the flying ants in an instant, and shuddered!

Some of the remaining flying ants on the ground were also burned to death, a war of people and insects, and a little slack, people became a delicious meal for flying ants.

Sikong Yu stiffened up and couldn't help laughing: "What did you really say? Who would have thought that this little flying ant would be so powerful?"

Duguxia shook his body, scratched the place where he had been bitten by the flying ant with his hand, and sighed: "Lao Tzu's life is famous, I didn't expect to almost destroy such a small flying ant!" He took out a flying ant from his body, pinched it to death, and was still on the ground.

Chanjuan and Hanmei pulled out two hugs of mugwort and put them on the fire, and a thick smoke rose, in the aroma of mugwort, everyone took turns to smoke, and the place that was bitten by the flying ants stopped feeling itchy after a while. Sima Jiang shouted: "Whose crow's mouth, still praise, praise what little insects, this almost killed us!"

Chanjuan pointed at Sikong Yu and said with a smile: "It's all your mouth that caused the trouble, look, we are all ugly, why don't you go find some water to wash?"

Sikong Yu stuck out his tongue at Chanjuan, and said, "Come with me, there is a river not far ahead!"

When they arrived at the river, everyone washed their faces and drank a few more sips, feeling cool and comfortable. The remnant sun is like blood, and piles of white bones of animals that have been eaten by flying ants never stop along the way! A bleak breath rushes in everyone's hearts, and people silently fight their swords to split the road, sighing that the fleeting life is between life and death.

A crescent moon hung on the East Mountain, Sikong Yu and a few found some wild fruits, and everyone dispersed, counting it as a simple dinner, and the experience of two life and death in a day made everyone physically and mentally exhausted, so they lit a bonfire in a clearing in the forest, and slept in clothes. Only Helan Xue's transverse flute, played tactfully and desolately, permeating the empty and distant Shouyang Mountain until midnight.
