The artist pulls out a weeping willow tree

Chapter 65: Lucky Mid-Year Training (7)

Jixiang and Zhuang Han walked in front with their noses pinched, while Jiang Ke followed behind with a look of despair on his face.

"You two, I'm already exhausted..." Jiang Ke looked speechlessly at his companion who was walking in front of him and wished he could stay eight feet away from him.

"That's because your nose has been damaged from smelling for too long." Jixiang said with disdain.

"He won't keep stinking like this, right?" Zhuang Han asked worriedly. It felt terrible to have a humanoid biological weapon following him!

"That's not the case, it's just that the smell takes a long time to dissipate." Jixiang let go of her hands and breathed in a breath of fresh air, then pinched her nose again. She still felt that there was a faint stench floating in the air, which was too overpowering.

Jixiang took advantage of the fact that Fei Xiang and the other two were in a weak state after they obtained the mission target, and forced Fei Xiang to share their route map with him. Fei Xiang ran away quickly with the other two friends, cursing.

When Jiang Ke came back from digging the rabbit's nest, he was faced with a companion with the word "disdain" written all over his face.

Jixiang wrote down the map and drew it on the ground for Jiang Ke to study.

Because the route map is of the simplest style, no useful information can be obtained for the time being.

The three of them continued on their way.

In the middle, we met several waves of people, most of whom were teams from other classes. In line with the mentality of rather doing useless work than letting go of any possible opportunity, Jixiang had a series of cordial and friendly exchanges with them and obtained some map information.

Jixiang looked at Jiang Ke who was analyzing the map seriously and couldn't help but sigh, don't underestimate anyone, Jiang Ke, who looks ordinary, is actually very powerful.

It's shame for Zhuang Han who has done nothing but eating and not showing any value so far.

"Student Zhuang Han is also very capable." Jixiang suddenly gave Zhuang Han a thumbs up.

Zhuang Han wondered why he didn't know he had done anything special?

Jixiang shook his head, with an expression that showed that he knew nothing about his own excellence, and said, "Student Zhuang Han, you just haven't had the opportunity to show yourself yet. In fact, I have always believed that everyone has their own strengths and shining points, but the reality is that opportunities rarely favor everyone equally."

Zhuang Han was a little touched and a little shy. It was a very happy thing to be praised by excellent people. "Student Jixiang, I... I'm not as good as you said, but I still thank you very much for your affirmation."

"Student Zhuang Han, you can be more confident! And now is a very good opportunity to show yourself!" Jixiang whispered sneakily.

Jiang Ke, who guessed what Jixiang was up to, looked at Zhuang Han with sympathy.

"What opportunity?" Zhuang Han swallowed, feeling a little nervous and excited, and said in a low voice.

"Look, this is the second random task card. I think you are the only one in our team who can complete it!" Jixiang opened his clenched fist, and a red task card lay on it.

Zhuang Han looked at Jixiang, whose expression was extremely sincere, and solemnly took the task card.

"Ice ink flakes?" Zhuang Han looked hesitantly at the task object black ice flakes displayed on the scanned task content and asked, "What is this?"

Zhuang Han had a bad feeling. Why did these strange and unfamiliar tasks always appear?

"Oh, some kind of animal feces." Jixiang replied casually.

Zhuang Han: “…”

Zhuang Hanqing looked at Jixiang in disbelief, his whole body exuding a sense of sadness of being deceived, and said dejectedly: "Student Jixiang, this..."

"Classmate Zhuang Han, you don't think I did it on purpose, do you?" Jixiang frowned, as if Zhuang Han was judging Jixiang by his own standards.

Zhuang Han: “…”

Isn’t it written all over Zhuang Han’s eyes?

Jixiang cleared his throat and said, "I saw that you looked lost, Zhuang Han, so I gave you the opportunity!"

Zhuang Han had a complicated expression and after a long while he finally uttered a few words, "...Actually I..." He didn't really want it.

"What do you want to say?" Jixiang turned the saber in one hand, looking like he was listening attentively.

"...Thank you very much, Jixiang, for giving me this opportunity!" Zhuang Han tried hard to look serious, his expression was extremely sincere.

"Well, we are all companions, don't be so polite, I am so embarrassed." Jixiang casually threw the saber up, and the other hand holding the scabbard took it without even looking at it, and the saber was sheathed.

Jiang Ke and Zhuang Han fell silent when they thought of Jixiang's skill in dissecting prey, which seemed to have reached perfection.

The simplest and most plain way of using a knife is achieved through the most direct, effective and precise knife movement route, ultimately skillfully presenting a visual feast that is so smooth and fast that it is almost a show of skill.

I’m afraid Jixiang was a butcher in his previous life!

Jiang Ke and Zhuang Han both complained in their hearts.

By showing off his muscles, Jixiang successfully assigned the interesting random task to Zhuang Han.

In the end, Jixiang completed the last three tasks alone.

Jixiang jumped down from the nearly vertical smooth cliff, bent down and patted the upper of her shoes. Because there was almost no foothold, she created it with her bare hands and feet.

"Jixiang, do you think we can reach the top of the mountain today?" Jiang Ke asked worriedly.

"Probably, all the random tasks have been completed. Next, we should speed up our journey. It would be best if we can enter the glacier on the morning of the fourth day. What do you think?"

Jiang Ke nodded and said, "It would be best if we could reach the top of the mountain tonight and take our original route down the mountain."

Zhuang Han couldn't help but be surprised and asked, "Do you know how to leave?"

Jixiang couldn't help but raise his eyebrows and praised: "Xiu'er, you are really an excellent one!" You can even figure out the result from that kind of map.

Jiang Ke raised the corner of his mouth and said modestly: "Thank you for your compliment. It's just a small matter."

Zhuang Han patted Jiang Ke's back vigorously and grinned, "You are worthy of being the intellectual leader of our team!"

"Cough cough cough...Zhuang Han, do you want to slap me to death?" Jiang Ke covered his vibrating chest and dodged the unaware Zhuang Han, saying a little embarrassedly.

“Haha, haha…” Zhuang Han touched his head awkwardly, as if he had hit him too hard…

Jixiang called out to the two people in front, "Let's go, let's go."

"...Jixiang, you are going in the wrong direction!" Jiang Ke shouted to remind him.

"Ah, haha, I just think the air here is pretty good..."

"Are you directionally challenged?" Jiang Ke asked doubtfully.

"How is that possible!" She just didn't have any sense of direction at all, not that she couldn't remember the way!

"It seems that Jixiang really looks like he could get lost very easily." Zhuang Han said thoughtfully.

"Bah, stop talking nonsense!" If she used her mental power to investigate, then this training would be meaningless.

The three of them chatted and laughed as they moved forward firmly, their goal - the top of the mountain!

Jixiang, who was walking, suddenly stopped and looked back.

Behind them was the quiet forest, which was gradually reoccupied by forest animals as they went further away...

"What's wrong, Jixiang?"

"Nothing, I just think the wind here smells a bit special."
