"That won't do either. It's a waste of time even if it's steep. Even though it's a bit of a detour along the mountain stream, I can still make up for the time lost if I walk faster."
After planning the next day's itinerary, Ye Chien began to draw a map of the terrain that he saw. As part of his training, he couldn't forget it.
In order to replenish his protein and prevent his hunger from affecting his movements, Ye Chien caught a non-venomous snake that was in estrus and made it for his breakfast.
The earthy taste filled his mouth. Raw meat tasted bad, but as long as it could replenish his protein and energy, and drive away his hunger, he could swallow it down after a few bites.
As for parasites, they weren't even in his consideration.
That was why he had so much time to think about these and other things. When it came to survival, there was only one thing that he had to think about: filling his stomach!
Spring was warm and the flowers were blooming. From late April to early May, the snakes were in their estrus period. Early in the morning, Ye Chien saw the male and female snakes making clear and bright sounds that sounded like they were hitting rocks. When he looked up, he could see the snakes entwined together on the branches. When he looked down, he could also see them in the cracks of the rocks.
Faced with these scalp-numbing snakes, Ye Chien's gaze swept over them and fell on the abnormally broken branches.
The creases were very fresh, and there were still wet twigs that had condensed into milky white beads. Ye Chien broke the same branches and observed whether the twigs condensed into beads faster or slower.
After five minutes, there was still no twigs.
Ye Chien looked up to the south. Someone had passed by last night … and it looked like they were heading in the direction of the mountain stream that she had chosen.
It was normal for people to pass by in the mountains. Some were secretly hunting, and some were villagers who went to the highest peak of Mount Dalang to dig for herbs … Anything was possible.
However, the traces that they left behind would not be deliberately erased. If they walked past, they walked past. If they stepped on it, they stepped on it. There was no such thing as erasing the traces.
Experienced poachers would usually erase the traces they left behind in order to cover their tracks. However, there weren't any rare animals in Mount Dalang. There were only small animals like pheasants and rabbits, so it wasn't worth it for people to risk their lives to hunt in the middle of the night.
Villagers who didn't dig herbs, hunters who didn't hunt, after eliminating those who weren't dangerous … the only ones left were those who were dangerous.
Ye Chien's gaze turned cold. He held the dagger in his hand and continued walking south along the stream.
"Is it possible that he didn't take this path? I didn't see any traces along the way. Firstly, I didn't bring any water. Secondly, I didn't bring any food. Even if you're looking for food, you should leave some traces. " About five kilometers away from Ye Chien, a few soldiers in jungle camouflage passed through the mountains. They stepped on the green moss as they searched for the correct location.
"Reporting, Captain Xiao, we didn't find anything here!"
"Captain Xiao, did she go in the wrong direction? Lost your way in the mountains? "
Team B arrived at one of Ye Chien's training destinations, but they did not find any traces of her in this area, so they were suspicious.
Captain Xiao was also a little puzzled. Logically speaking, there should be traces left behind by her. He turned to his comrades and said, "Go to the stream and search again."
If the female soldier was lost, they definitely had to find her. However, he was afraid that the female soldier wasn't lost. It was them who couldn't find her.
"Yes, sir!" A few voices sounded in unison. They quickly spread out to search by the stream.
After searching for about ten minutes, Captain Xiao contacted the provincial military and reported their situation one by one. "Commander, we searched the place where she rested last night but didn't find any traces. Do you think it's possible that no one came here?"
