Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations The first rain in June came abruptly. The day before yesterday, the sky was still clear, but the night before yesterday, the sky was covered with dark clouds. The heavy rain didn't stop until last night.
Because it had been raining all day yesterday, most of the students chose to stay in their nests. The brothers of the Hit-Plane Brotherhood also chose to spend the day in their tree houses. Barley found a deck of cards and played them for the whole day. It was really a pleasant feeling. Although it was raining heavily outside, the small world inside the tree houses was warm and happy. There were no other sounds in the valley except for the sound of raindrops hitting the tree leaves. All the insects and birds had hidden themselves, and even the chirps of cicadas and birds could not be heard. In such weather, all the animals had hidden themselves. If they wanted to hunt, they would not be able to hunt well. Therefore, they were happy to have a peaceful day.
On the eighth day of the survival training, God gave them a day off with a heavy rain …
In the past eight days, the tree base had changed once again. When they were bored at night or ran out of firewood, the original three-story space had been expanded. Everyone's sleeping space had also become more spacious. The upper and lower tree holes were also covered with a layer of bamboo curtains, which they had exchanged with food from a group of girls in the square. Additionally, they had found some old tree vines and spent the whole night weaving simple rattan ladders for them to climb up and down the tree houses. In the newly developed space on the third floor, they had also left several flower-pot sized pits in those places. After that, they had transplanted some soil and some wildflowers and green plants from the valley, making the entire tree house full of fun.
On the ground under the tree houses, the members of the Hit-Plane Brotherhood had dug a small pool of about two square meters. The bottom of the pool was filled with gravel and pebbles. They had also dug a 30-m long trench and chopped some bamboos. After that, they had hollowed out the bamboos and placed them in the trench, making a mini water diversion system. After that, they started to raise fish in the small pool.
Although there were some stones at the bottom of the pool that was temporarily dug on the ground, it was still easy for water to seep in. However, because there was an endless stream of new water flowing in, the water depth of the small pool that was more than half a meter deep could be maintained at more than 50 centimeters at all times, enough for a bunch of fish to swim in.
As long as the boys went out to hunt, they would never return empty-handed … Of course, what kept the Hit-Plane Brotherhood from returning empty-handed was the traps that Zhang Tie had taught them to dig. Over the past few days, the members of the Hit-Plane Brotherhood had been working overtime and had already dug two traps with a depth of 6 m within 5 km from the tree base. These two traps, together with the fish trap that Zhang Tie had set up before, as well as the other traps for small prey made of twigs and stones, greatly improved the lives of the members of the Hit-Plane Brotherhood. On the sixth day, they set up the first pit trap. Using a pile of smelly fish tripe as bait, they successfully caught a wild wolf. That wild wolf fell into the trap and became the target of the "Iron Gate — — T21". That day, the members of the Hit-Plane Brotherhood ate roasted wolf meat for the first time and gained their first wolf skin in this survival training. This success allowed everyone to experience the fun of trapping. If it weren't for the rain, the third pit trap would have already been dug.
After the first pit trap was successfully dug, the tree base gradually gained some fame. The members of the Hit-Plane Brotherhood started to think about other things and went to the Wild Wolf Castle to ask out girls more frequently. In the past few days, some lucky guys had already succeeded in forming teams with girls for the survival training. The girls who formed teams with boys were free to do whatever they wanted except for returning to the Wild Wolf Castle every night. This news made some boys work even harder. The hunting range of many teams had gradually moved towards the depths of the Wild Wolf Valley, which was a paradise for wild beasts. The preys brought by those teams also gradually became more advanced.
Wild Wolf Valley naturally belonged to the wolf clan. In this age, according to the most common animal classification standard, even though all the wild wolves belonged to the wolf clan, there were many differences between the species and levels of the wolves. The most common wild wolves were naturally wild wolves, which were similar to the wild wolves before the Catastrophe. According to the most common animal classification standard, wild wolves were LV 0 living beings, which meant that their fighting strength was equal to that of human soldiers. Above wild wolves were LV 1 living beings, huge wolves that had mutated and evolved after the Catastrophe. Huge wolves were much larger than ordinary wild wolves, and their attacking and responding abilities were much more powerful and agile. Above huge wolves were golden wolves, which had mutated and evolved and reached LV 2 living beings. Golden wolves were even larger than huge wolves, and their hair was golden. It was said that an adult golden wolf could easily kill three LV 1 human soldiers. Above golden wolves, there were LV 3 bloody wolves and LV 4 shadow wolves. LV 4 was the upper limit of all the wild beasts and magical beasts that had been discovered in the Wild Wolf Valley in the past dozens of years. In the past ten years, there were rarely any living beings above LV 2 in the Wild Wolf Valley. Otherwise, this place wouldn't have been chosen as the survival training base for the students of Blackhot City.
It was said that the reason why there were no magical beasts above LV 4 in the Wild Wolf Valley was because of the nest of gold-eating boas that had occupied this place. Even though the gold-eating boas had been killed by humans, the smell of high-level living beings still lingered in the valley. The more advanced the wild beasts and magical beasts were, the more sensitive they would be to this smell. Therefore, they would not dare to approach this place. This was the most authoritative explanation that explained why there were no magical beasts above LV 4 in the Wild Wolf Valley.
On the sixth day of this survival training, the day before the rain, a hunting team led by Burwick from the No. 7 Middle School hunted four huge wolves for the first time. This was the first time that a student had hunted and killed a LV 1 magical beast in this survival training. Burwick caused a sensation in the Wild Wolf Castle once again. A lot of girls' clubs and teams in the survival training requested to form a team with Burwick. Compared to Glaze, who had been suffering misfortune in the past couple of days, Burwick was very happy.
One week after the start of this survival training, the outstanding figures from each school gradually showed their outstanding talents and radiated their own brilliance.
When Burwick killed the huge wolves, a boy from another school, the one who used a bow and arrow, had already gained the nickname "Blues the Sharp Archer". Compared to Burwick from the Seventh National Middle School, who had made great achievements through teamwork, Blues the Sharp Archer of the Second National Middle School, who had climbed onto a big tree and killed two huge wolves by himself with his bow. Compared to Burwick, Blues was like a lone ranger, and his heroic actions seemed to move the hearts of the girls more easily. As a result, "Blues the Sharp Archer" became the Prince Charming in the hearts of all the girls in this survival training.
Of course, there were more than two outstanding figures in the four schools...
The Iron Smelting Workshop of Wild Wolf Castle was covered in thick smoke 24 hours a day. The swords and other production tools produced in the workshop had already been put on sale in Wild Wolf Castle. It was said that someone had already started to make the mold for the first steam engine in that workshop.
There were also outstanding figures in the two girls' middle schools. It was said that a female student had displayed a super strong ability to identify plants and had an affinity with them, allowing them to easily find over 100 kg of kudzu roots buried under the ground. There were also female students who displayed excellent abilities in internal affairs and administrative management, managing the inner castle of Wild Wolf Castle well. There were also female students who were not inferior to men. As a LV 1 warrior, they had already teamed up with several partners to go hunting, completely shaming a lot of men who were still fighting.
These elites who had gradually displayed their talents were gradually making this survival training more and more popular.
Compared to these outstanding figures, Zhang Tie's miserable life as a miner had just begun. The day before yesterday, he had dug traps with his brothers. Yesterday, he had rested for a day due to the rain. According to the rules, if Zhang Tie could not hand over 300 kg of iron ores today, he would not be able to work as a miner anymore.
Therefore, after the rain stopped last night, early this morning, under the mourning and sympathy of his brothers, Zhang Tie was like a slave worker who had accepted his fate. After checking his tools, he silently carried the ugly mining basket on his back and set off on his journey alone.
