In the second month, after one month's survival training, the horny students had become much more courageous than before. However, the improvement of their fighting strength was not as fast as that of their courage. This was the root of the tragedy.
Zhang Tie leisurely strolled along the path of the Wild Wolf Valley, thinking about the bloody wounds he had seen at noon. Those wounds reminded Zhang Tie of the survival rules of this world and the rules of the game. Even if it was the lowest level difference, it would determine the difference between life and death, as well as the joys and sorrows of many people. Four families, four mothers, and many relatives of the four teenagers had been sent to hell by several LV 1 huge wolves at noon. Zhang Tie could imagine how sorrowful those families would be after knowing that their kids were killed. Zhang Tie's family had also experienced such a sorrowful experience. Although it had been many years, the influence of losing a family member could accompany his dad and mom for the rest of their lives.
"Fist is power. The extreme strength is close to the Dao!" — — The general outline of Iron-Blood Fist flashed across Zhang Tie's mind. Zhang Tie found that he had a new understanding about this sentence. The road indicated by Fibonacci golden numbers was not a road of evolution, but a road of power backed by battle strength. What was the greatest power in the world? It was the power to decide the life and death of others. It was the power to send others to hell at any time. This was the ultimate power!
'In my life, I will never allow the second Snade and Huck to appear.' Zhang Tie told himself. 'Except for myself, nobody else can decide my fate,' the teenager told himself. Zhang Tie then started to run, slowly increasing his speed...
Ten minutes later, Zhang Tie passed by a riverside. A wild wolf with red eyes suddenly jumped out of the reeds and rushed towards Zhang Tie. Almost the moment the wild wolf rushed out of the reeds, a shadow of a spear had descended from the sky and nailed the wild wolf onto the ground. Zhang Tie ran past the wild wolf without slowing down at all. Neither did he throw a glance at that wild wolf. However, when he ran past it, he pulled out the spear with one hand and put it back into the spear container before continuing to run forward...
"Who's that guy?" At the sight of Zhang Tie's performance, a hunting team of about eight people became dumbfounded. Just now, when the wild wolf rushed out, they wanted to warn Zhang Tie loudly, but before they could do so, it was already over. Not until Zhang Tie disappeared did the team rush to the side of the wild wolf that was nailed to the ground. After taking a closer look, they all sucked in a breath of cold air. The wound directly penetrated through the wild wolf's neck and came out from the back of the wild wolf's heart. No wonder it could be killed with one strike. That was too powerful. Was it a coincidence? The newcomer put away the wolf's corpse. Many people felt that they were quite lucky.
"Is it okay for us to do this?" one of the trainees asked.
"If that person felt that this wild wolf was still valuable to him, he would have kept it. Do you think a person who can easily kill a wild wolf would care about a wild wolf's carcass?"
Everyone felt that it made sense.
"Let's go, guys. It's getting late. This wolf is enough for us to eat for two days …" The leader waved his hand and said.
"Who's that guy? Why haven't I heard of him before?"
"Don't worry. How could such a powerful guy be unknown? Just go to Wild Wolf Castle and ask about him!"
… …
Zhang Tie ran at a moderate speed all the way. Although it seemed simple, it was a skill that he had mastered in the first week of the loner's survival training. If he ran at a high speed for too long, not only would he consume too much energy, he might also miss some things, especially in hilly areas where the terrain was changeable. If he was unfamiliar with the terrain, he might hurt himself and couldn't make the most correct response to a crisis. However, if he ran too slowly, he would not only greatly limit his movement range, but also miss some things and slow down his body's response when he needed to respond quickly. This was especially true for loners who needed to hunt for prey by themselves. If they always moved in a fixed location, they would almost starve. This was because the smaller their movement range was, the smaller their chance of encountering prey would be.
Therefore, for a loner, the most suitable pace was the one that was neither too slow, which would allow one to have enough energy to run continuously for one or two hours without feeling weak all over. It would allow one to adapt to the surrounding environment and terrain while running and expand one's movement range. In other words, it would allow one to feel that he could release his greatest fighting strength at any time and be able to respond to unexpected situations without feeling too tense. Zhang Tie used this pace to coordinate with his breathing. It took Zhang Tie one week to master this medium-speed movement skill and find the most suitable rhythm for him. Now, Zhang Tie could use this pace to run for one hour on the rugged mountainous terrain in Wild Wolf Valley while maintaining his greatest fighting strength.
Zhang Tie felt that his running state was very similar to a term he had heard from his history teacher at school about the performance of an aircraft called "cruising speed" before the Catastrophe. In the first week of the loner's survival training, Zhang Tie had mastered the skill of "cruising speed". His current "cruising speed" was about 15 km/h, and the "continuous cruising time" that could maintain his maximum fighting strength was about one hour. "Ha, isn't it interesting? I've really become an airplane!"
Just now, Zhang Tie was lucky enough to catch another wild wolf, bringing the Wild Wolf Seven-Strength Fruit one step closer to ripening. Thinking of this, Zhang Tie's pace became lighter.
Zhang Tie really enjoyed this constrained feeling of running in the valley. In the past 15 years of living in Blackhot City, Zhang Tie had never felt such a constrained feeling of freedom. In such a simple running, Zhang Tie felt happy, the simplest happiness. If he could bear it, Zhang Tie would even like to run like the wind for the rest of his life. He could go wherever he wanted and let the earth constantly move backward under his feet. He could just run like this freely. He would not care about anything else. While running, he would let the whole world become his own scenery.
Because he could run freely in the valley, Zhang Tie felt that he had fallen in love with the loner's survival training and gradually regarded it as an enjoyment.
When the fiery clouds of the setting sun appeared on the western horizon, Zhang Tie felt that he had fallen in love with the loner's survival training. After more than one hour of running, Zhang Tie arrived at the place he named "No. 2 foothold".
This was a natural cave, more than ten meters above the ground, and the slope was between 80 to 90 degrees. A bunch of tree vines hung down from above, and it was just nice for people to pull the tree vines and step on the rocks and protrusions on the mountain wall to climb up. The mountain cave was more than 20 km away from the Wild Wolf Castle, which was a bit farther than where Zhang Tie had met Bonder and the others today. On the other side of the mountain cave was the Crescent Prairie more than 10 km away. The mountain ranges on both sides of the Wild Wolf Valley extended here. Like a door being pushed open, the terrain became much wider.
One week after the loner's survival training. Zhang Tie's activity range became increasingly larger, and he was getting closer and closer to the Crescent Prairie.
When Zhang Tie arrived at the bottom of the mountain cave, he looked around to make sure nobody was around. Pulling the tree vines, Zhang Tie quickly arrived at the entrance of the mountain cave. Squatting down, Zhang Tie carefully looked at the seemingly scattered leaves and pebbles on the ground at the entrance of the mountain cave. These things were naturally on the ground, and nobody would notice them. However, Zhang Tie carefully looked at them for about 20 seconds before picking himself up. Tiptoeing, he carefully walked over from several specific positions.
Those things on the ground were not traps, but pioneers' "Wild Traces System". As long as someone entered this place when Zhang Tie was not here, Zhang Tie would know that this was a trick of pioneers. A "Wild Traces System" could convey a lot of information. Many teams of pioneers would add some secret words and codes to this "Wild Traces System" that only they could understand. Sometimes, as long as a withered twig, some leaves, and some pebbles were casually placed on the ground, others would not understand it. However, in the eyes of insiders, they would be able to read dozens of meanings from the positions and directions of the withered twig, some pebbles, and some pebbles. Or, like Zhang Tie, they could be used as an early warning device. As long as someone entered this place, Zhang Tie would know it.
After climbing into the mountain cave, Zhang Tie didn't do anything; instead, he just sat on a rock at the entrance of the mountain cave, enjoying the gentle wind and watching the sunset in the distance. The sunset was really beautiful. Before this loner's survival training, Zhang Tie had never watched the sunset seriously. However, these days, Zhang Tie couldn't help but sit somewhere and watch the sunset quietly every day until the sunset completely disappeared.
This was another reason why Zhang Tie liked loner's survival training. Besides being able to run freely, he could even sit there and enjoy the beautiful scenery of the sunset. He didn't need to worry about the horny students pointing at him and calling him an idiot or a moron behind his back.
The beauty between heaven and earth was unspeakable! This was Zhang Tie's realization after watching the sunset.
He didn't know how many years it had been since his dad and mom had watched such a beautiful sunset together. Thinking of his dad and mom's increasing gray hair, Zhang Tie swore that when he became rich, he would definitely buy a big house with two big balconies. One facing the east so that his dad and mom could see the first wisp of sunshine when they woke up in the morning. The other facing the west would have a comfortable chair on the balcony so that his dad and mom could sit on the chair and watch the beautiful sunset when it was sunny. When it was raining, they could watch the rainy scenery outside. Oh, there should also be a beautiful tea table with carved iron patterns so that there could be endless tea leaves and meat at home so that his dad and mom could taste such expensive oriental drinks every day after eating and drinking to their heart's content …
Previously, Zhang Tie might not have been able to realize this dream for the rest of his life. But now, Zhang Tie understood that as long as he had enough power — power — power — he would definitely be able to let his dad and mom live that kind of life.
If LV 2 is not enough, what about LV 3? If LV 3 is not enough, what about LV 4, LV 5? If not, what about LV 6, LV 7, LV 8, LV 9, LV 10? According to my elder brother, LV 10 military officers in Blackhot City could already live in independent villas...
'Oh, there's also the agreement with Miss Daina!'
… …
When the sun completely set, the afterglow gradually disappeared. Several aborigines living in the mountain cave — bats — flapped their wings and flew out to start their nightlife. Zhang Tie, on the other hand, retreated to the depth of the mountain cave and entered the Castle of Black Iron. He started to accumulate his strength in another way. After killing five huge wolves today, Zhang Tie knew that the small tree would definitely produce another Trouble-Reappearance Fruit. This was a rule that Zhang Tie had gradually figured out. As long as he could kill more than three wild wolves or huge wolves a day, the small tree would produce a Trouble-Reappearance Fruit. Zhang Tie had eaten four more Trouble-Reappearance Fruits in the past two days. He could choose eight trouble-reappearance situations and activate more than 20 wolf souls (named by Zhang Tie himself). Among them, 22 were common wild wolves and 1 was a huge wolf. Thus, Zhang Tie discovered the secret of more Trouble-Reappearance Fruits …
After eating the third and fourth Trouble-Reappearance Fruits, Zhang Tie found that the so-called Trouble-Reappearance Fruit actually contained two elements: one was the trouble-reappearance situation, and the other was the wolf souls. Those wolf souls could be arranged and gathered at his own will. After that, they would appear in the designated trouble-reappearance situation. After being activated, they would be able to fight against him. The two elements in the Trouble-Reappearance Fruit could be fused or separated at his will. After eating a Trouble-Reappearance Fruit, he would have two more elements that he could choose to practice his fighting skills — one was the fighting environment, and the other was the fighting opponent.
The Trouble-Reappearance Fruit was really powerful and unimaginable. With the help of the Trouble-Reappearance Fruit, Zhang Tie even felt that his fighting skills were rapidly improving.
