"Quick, quick, maintain your breathing rate. Dongzhu is waiting to go back for the New Year. We're going to the Li Family Zhuangzi for the New Year. It'll be lively."
A team of three hundred people was moving quickly. Their clothes were a mix of yellow, green, and white.
Their cloaks were pure white to match the environment of the Qinling Mountains.
The leader was Fan Fan. He had just returned from the southwest and rested for a few days, but he insisted on rushing out for a mission.
At this moment, he was holding a tranquilizer gun in his hand. He had never used it before, but he had heard Li Yi explain how to use it.
It was the same principle as a crossbow, except that it was more accurate within twenty steps. At thirty steps, it would fly randomly, and at forty steps, it would not be able to hit anything.
It would not work in strong winds either. He knew how to aim because he had practiced with a scope on a crossbow.
"If it hits a person, they'll fall within twenty breaths. If it hits a panda, you'll have to shoot it three or four times in a row. Be careful to avoid it."
Fan Fan mumbled. This was a secret manual for using a tranquilizer gun.
They had to find the other nineteen hunters and send a few people to bring them back.
Then, they would find thirty Tubo people and try to capture them alive. They would ask for the location of the panda and then move it back.
The Winged Knights displayed their fighting strength as the Emperor's private army. They ran very quickly.
Some people accidentally tripped over something in the snow while running. They fell forward and flipped over with their hands on the ground.
They ran at a high speed with small strides, like ninjas.
It was good for adjusting their balance and allowing them to react quickly.
The sky gradually darkened. Six of the three hundred people were wearing night vision goggles. They stretched out their scabbards and grabbed one scabbard after another. They slowed down but did not stop.
The sun slowly rose. A group of people who were packing up appeared in front of them.
"Lu ~ Guan ~" Fan Fan shouted.
The group of people stopped and turned around one after another.
They saw a group of people who were wearing similar clothes to them. They ran fast and nimbly.
Crossbows, swords, and tactical backpacks.
After a few breaths, the group arrived. Some strolled slowly, while others took out things from their backpacks and ate in the snow.
The nineteen people estimated the distance and time. The leader, Lu Guan, looked at the group and nodded. "I'm Lu Guan, Winged Knights?"
"That's right, we finally caught up to you guys. You really exhausted us. We were just afraid that you guys would encounter enemies. There were thirty of them."
Fan Fan began to pant. While running, he kept adjusting his breathing. When he stopped, he realized that his whole body was covered in sweat.
"How are you guys so fast?" A hunter calculated the time and found it unbelievable.
"One day and one night. Brothers, eat something warm, don't eat the snow."
Fan Fan found a place to place his cloak on the ground and sat down. He then called for everyone to cook.
Some of the Winged Knights stood up and spread out, using binoculars to observe their surroundings.
Others took out the matching kettles and filled them with snow and dried meat floss, dried vegetables in vegetable packets, and compressed biscuits in large shells.
He found a stable place to put down a small shell. Then, he took out a small bottle and poured gasoline into the shell.
Light the fire and put the kettle on to roast.
This was a four-piece set of tactical water bottles that Li Yi had made for them.
While waiting for the mess in the large shells to boil, the people in charge of cooking took over from those on guard duty. Those on guard duty ate first.
"There's a trap ahead. We can't leave. You guys stay here. Some of our brothers will recover and bring you back. You don't have to participate in the next battle."
Fan Fan said to Lu Guan, who had been watching everyone rest and hadn't said anything.
"We're hunters. We can fight." Lu Guan shook his head. They were just as strong in the jungle.
They didn't think highly of the survival ability of the Tang dynasty's ordinary soldiers.
Of course, they didn't look down on the soldiers of the House of Subjugation. Those soldiers had to fight with their lives on the line.
"We're moving fast." Fan Fan's expression was serious.
"If we don't have to deal with the dangers of running for a long time, we're also moving fast." Lu Guan's gaze was firm.
"Then let's go together. Don't drag us down." Fan Fan waited for the food to cool down.
"You guys can still catch up?" A hunter with a curly beard next to them was surprised.
"That's nothing. We're the first batch of Winged Knights. At night, each of us grabbed a scabbard and took turns to move forward. We've already slept for a while. "
Another Winged Knight laughed out loud.
At night, they grabbed the scabbard and moved slowly. Sometimes, they relied on inertia to move forward and relaxed their minds.
Compared to the intensity when Li Yi took them to play, this was a happy moment.
The happiest days were always yesterday. Those who hadn't experienced it would never understand the lethality of "I'll take you to play."
It was just 24 hours. It wasn't like the intensity was high at night.
Had anyone tried 72 hours of continuous high-intensity training? Together, they could rest for four hours.
By the time the soup cooled down, some of them had already fallen asleep.
It wasn't that they had to sleep. Many ordinary people wouldn't feel sleepy even if they were in a state of excitement for 36 hours, let alone the Winged Knights.
They seized every moment they could to rest and let their bodies adjust.
The hunters didn't say anything and took out the meat of the animals they had hunted along the way. They had smoked it last night.
They cut it into small strips and put it in a big shell.
They had dealt with wild animals all year round. They could feel the aura of wild animals from the Winged Knights. It was a mysterious feeling.
Then, they went to take over the Winged Knights who were on guard duty and took their binoculars. They only had two binoculars, which wasn't enough.
The Winged Knights were relieved. The hunters knew how to search for their targets.
When it was time to eat, the Winged Knights ate very slowly.
Some closed their eyes and ate in small bites, chewing very carefully.
They ate and rested, chewing as much as possible to digest and absorb the food faster.
The hunters helped to observe the situation, occasionally glancing at the Winged Knights.
When the Winged Knights finished eating and resumed their journey, the hunters found that this group was unbelievably strong.
They estimated the time and knew that the other party wasn't lying. They had been on the road for a day and a night.
Now that they rested, they looked normal.
They didn't want to lose and ran as fast as they could. Yes, they ran.
When the sun was in the middle of the sky, they still ran and didn't stop to eat.
Only some of them took a bite, stuffed a handful of snow into their mouths, and chewed as they ran.
The hunters gritted their teeth and persevered. It was simply unbearable.
Just after one o 'clock, a Winged Knights reported, "Found target, resting."
"Hide!" Fan Fan ordered.
"Puff!" The Winged Knights fell to the ground at almost the same time. They propped themselves up with their hands and stopped moving.
The hunters squatted down, panting.
"Stay alert. Rest, don't boil water." Fan Fan ordered again.
A few Winged Knights crawled forward to a key location and laid down to observe the situation.
The others ate meat floss and snow. After a few bites, they wrapped their heads in cloaks and huddled together to sleep.
Half an hour later, the people on the other side moved. The Winged Knights followed closely, keeping a distance.
The sky slowly darkened. The people gathered together to light a fire. At the same time, someone was on guard.
"Looks like they're not going to leave at night. They're going to attack in the middle of the night. Retreat." Fan Fan was relieved.
The group moved back, found an angle where the other party couldn't see, and began to cook with gasoline.
The hunters were so tired that they didn't want to move. Who would rush like this in the mountains? It was killing them.
