The principal of Yangfan Middle School looked at Jiang Yue and the others leaving with various emotions. He had a sense of loss, like the wind is blowing and the water is cold, and a strong man is gone and never comes back.
How could he not know how harsh this challenge was for Yangfan Middle School? It would not be an exaggeration to say that it was a trap.
But even though they knew it was a trap, they still had to jump.
Because if you jump, you may still struggle in the trap. If you don't jump, Yangfan Middle School will basically be the finale, without any luck.
Seeing the people at Xingcheng No. 1 Middle School talking and laughing with the justice team, one can imagine the mood of the principal of Yangfan Middle School.
The black whistle was almost made public when it was blown, but so what?
The only thing he can hope for now is that the talented pair of Jiang Yue and Li Yue can live up to their expectations and create a miracle for Yangfan Middle School.
On the other hand, Jiang Yue and others who embarked on the journey were much calmer than the principal along the way.
The many plans yesterday were not in vain. What they have to do now is to enter the Qiluo Mountain boundary and follow the designated route.
Each person wears clothing that facilitates movement and carries a backpack containing various equipment.
Of course, Jiang Yue had already given them the gift package of spiritual talismans.
Naturally, they were also reminded that these things should not be leaked or made known to outsiders.
Tong Feifei knew a little bit about Jiang Yue's talisman, after all, Jiang Yue had given him talismans before.
Li Yue also has something similar to a magic talisman on her body, which was given to her by her biological mother. She has been told to wear it, saying that this thing can save her life at critical moments.
It was hard to refuse such kindness, but Li Yue did not refuse.
Qiluo Mountain is made up of seven continuous peaks, which are named after their shape a bit like seven green snails.
At this time, they had followed the route and arrived at the foot of Qiluo Mountain.
As we approached the foot of Qiluo Mountain, the mist in the mountains became thicker, greatly affecting visibility.
The closer we got to Qiluo Mountain, the more exaggerated the mist became, and our line of sight was almost limited to ten meters in front of us.
This is the line of sight of their awakened beings. If it were an ordinary person, their line of sight would probably not penetrate more than three meters.
"Xiawei, how far can you see?" Tong Feifei couldn't help but ask.
Wang Xiawei is a person with awakened eyesight and hearing. In this case, his eyesight must be much stronger than others, right?
Wang Xiawei did not answer in a hurry, but slowly adjusted his vision to the best state based on his experience of exploring these days.
Then he followed his line of sight and looked around. After a while, Wang Xiawei said: "I can probably see thirty or forty meters away. However, the line of sight is not particularly clear. It is very different from daily scenes."
With such a heavy fog, one can see thirty or forty meters away, which is simply unbelievable. Ordinary people are afraid that they will be blinded.
Jiang Yue and the others spread out the route map and determined their location.
"This place is far away from the destination we set before. We have to go around a mountain to reach it."
There are seven peaks in Qiluo Mountain, and the plan they finalized before was to reach a certain designated area.
"Everyone, speed up. Before they arrive, we will try to reach that area first." Jiang Yue encouraged everyone.
Everyone has a magical talisman, so there will definitely be no problem with speed.
"Li Yue, you and Xiawei go forward. Fei Fei and I are behind. Pay attention to the surroundings and be careful of any ambush."
Wang Xiawei has the best sight, but Li Yue has other advantages. As Wang Xiawei's protector, she leads the way.
Jiang Yue took care of Tong Feifei and stayed behind to avoid being cut off.
This distribution can be considered relatively reasonable.
The four of them increased their speed to the fastest while ensuring safety. About half an hour later, they arrived at the destination they had decided on yesterday.
This area is one of the more famous internet celebrity check-in spots in Qiluoshan.
This hillside is different from other hillside. The entire hillside is covered with various strange-shaped boulders.
Although it is said to be a huge boulder, its size is not particularly exaggerated.
The smaller ones are about the size of a person, while the larger ones are more exaggerated, about the size of an elephant.
These huge boulders are scattered irregularly on this hillside, forming a rocky slope with unique scenery.
In the suburbs of Star City, this is a very good outdoor activity location. Many people from Star City come here to climb mountains, camp, have picnics, etc...
However, since then, Qiluo Mountain has been shrouded in fog, and the mountain has inexplicably increased a lot, which has triggered a lot of strange speculations. It is almost impossible for even the surrounding residents to enter Qiluo Mountain, let alone the citizens.
When it comes to playing, I don’t have the time to spare.
"Monitor, we went to this place during the spring outing in our fourth year of middle school. I remember that time when we were climbing a mountain, there was a girl in our class who almost fell down, right? Who was that?"
"Shh, don't talk yet."
Jiang Yue was not in the mood to chat with Tong Feifei. He was as agile as an ape and quickly climbed up the entire rocky slope to explore everywhere.
After a while, Jiang Yue selected a relatively flat boulder.
"This is it, come here."
Jiang Yue called the other three people to gather towards him. This boulder was relatively large in area, and the surrounding stones were relatively flat. The few of them staying here still seemed very spacious and would not be cramped.
Several people found a suitable place to sit down, took off their backpacks from their shoulders, and took out food and drink from their backpacks.
We all know that this operation lasts for 24 hours, so we have prepared a lot of food. Let alone 24 hours, it will not be a problem to maintain it for 72 hours.
Tong Feifei even got a mat from nowhere, spread it on the rocks, and spread everyone's food out.
Then he stretched his arms and couldn't help but smile: "If the principal knew that our challenge was like this, he would definitely be so angry that his nose would bleed, right?"
Wang Xiawei said: "Don't be too optimistic. After all, we only have 24 hours. We have just come in. We still don't know what will happen next."
Li Yue nodded and acknowledged Wang Xiawei's words.
But her eyes finally fell on Jiang Yue.
This plan was decided by Jiang Yue, and the location was also chosen by Jiang Yue, so the final interpretation had to be left to Jiang Yue.
Jiang Yue was not in a hurry at the moment, he easily picked up a can of drink and took a few sips happily.
"Squad leader, we've all seen those guys just now. How much trouble do you think they can cause?" Tong Feifei was still a little out of breath and broke the calm.
"What do you think?" Jiang Yue did not answer, but looked at Li Yue and others.
"Xiao Yueyue speaks first." Tong Feifei threw the problem to Li Yue first.
Li Yue was silent for a moment: "Two of them are strong enemies, and the other two are relatively easy to deal with."
"Haha, just like me and Xiawei, we are assistants." Tong Feifei has a very good mentality. He has always placed his position in a correct position and has always regarded assisting Jiang Yue as his mission.
Now that all this has finally happened, Tong Feifei, instead of being unbalanced, is actually very excited.
"What do you think of Xiawei?"
"To me, each of them is a strong opponent. I have no comment on their capital. But I will try my best. Whatever the team needs me to do, I will do it and listen to your command, Brother Yue."
Wang Xiawei is still the same Wang Xiawei, an actor who is honest and never exaggerates. Even if he is 70% sure of something in his heart, he can only say 30% to 40% at most.
"But, Brother Yue, are we really going to wait here all the time? This place is far away from the mission area. If Star City No. 1 Middle School goes straight to the mission area, we will lose the opportunity." Wang Xiawei thought about it.
After thinking about it, I still raised some questions of my own.
Jiang Yue nodded very firmly: "If possible, we will wait here and try not to move unless necessary."
"This is called sitting back and waiting, right?" Tong Feifei said with a smile.
"But what if they don't come to us? As long as they complete the simplest task, they will have more points than us."
"They will definitely come." Jiang Yue said firmly, "Xiawei, trust my judgment, the task is just superficial. The core of this challenge is not a task at all. Even the task is not important at all."
"The core issue is survival, who lives and who dies. Am I right?" Tong Feifei added.
Jiang Yue nodded: "That's right, the core is who lives and who dies. As long as we can't get out alive, even if they don't complete a single task, they will still win."
"In the same way, if they die and we get out alive, we will win."
Wang Xiawei thought thoughtfully: "So, we don't have to do anything 24 hours a day, just wait here for them to find us."
"right."
It's only around ten o'clock in the morning, and the challenge has just begun, so there's no time to rush.
"Everyone should eat. If you want to sleep, you can take a nap first. I guess not much will happen before dark."
Whether it's a few guys from Star City No. 1 Middle School or some evil monsters in Qiluo Mountain itself, they will basically appear in broad daylight.
Even if there is thick fog as a cover, broad daylight is still not conducive to the concealment of operations.
Jiang Yue sat for a while, regained his energy, and began to arrange the surroundings.
The things he arranged were not complicated, he just made some small mechanisms twenty or thirty meters away. If any of these small mechanisms were touched, they would be alerted.
Although Jiang Yue believed that his ears were strong enough, and with Wang Xiawei as a person with awakened hearing, under normal circumstances, he should be able to catch someone approaching.
But they couldn't stand up to the Awakened ones on the opposite side who were also of a high level, and even those who were on par with them. It wasn't impossible for them to approach quietly, hide their presence, and suppress the sound of their footsteps.
Therefore, make some small mechanisms, as many as possible, and as hidden as possible. Although it may not be effective, it is better than nothing.
Of course Jiang Yue still has many backup options, but he doesn't plan to use them for the time being.
A few people were eating, drinking, and chatting, and they were having a good time, and time was passing by minute by second.
"It's a pity that the fog is too heavy and the sun can't reach it. Otherwise, lying on this big rock and enjoying the early summer sunshine would definitely be a wonderful experience." Tong Feifei lay comfortably on the boulder and sighed.
No sunshine is a fly in the ointment.
Wang Xiawei said: "If you want to sleep, just take a nap. I'm not sleepy now, so I'll keep a lookout for you."
"I'm not sleepy either. You guys go to sleep for a while. I'll take a look around." Li Yue saw Jiang Yue walking around the outside. Her mind had been taken away and she had no intention of sitting there and listening to Tong Feifei's nonsense.
Seeing Li Yue approaching, Jiang Yue smiled and said, "Why don't you take a rest?"
"I slept well yesterday. I wasn't sleepy."
Li Yue curiously approached the hidden agencies and asked curiously: "How do you know so much?"
"After staying in the countryside for several years, I learned a lot from my father when I was a child, and I also learned some skills from the mountain people. It's actually not difficult."
Li Yue's beautiful eyes were full of admiration: "I am also a child in the mountains. I don't understand these at all. I will follow my father to collect some crops."
"for example?"
"Digging potatoes, peeling sweet potatoes, picking peanuts, etc... my dad doesn't ask me to do many of the tasks."
"My daughters are all my father's little cotton-padded jackets. I don't want to take care of my daughter."
"That's not true. All the girls in the village work, but my father dotes on me. When I was a child, I cried to help him work. He always said that my life is precious and I shouldn't suffer like this. I shouldn't do this.
Menial work. Ever since he was a child, he only wanted me to read well. No matter how tired he was of any heavy work, he would not let me, his daughter, help him do it..."
When Li Yue talks about his father, he inevitably touches the emotional chord.
"When I was a child, I didn't understand what he meant when he said that life was precious. I only thought that my father hoped that his son would succeed. I really didn't expect that things would turn out like this..."
It can be seen that Li Yue still has another hurdle to overcome when it comes to his life experience.
However, the reality is what it is, and naturally it will not change due to her personal will. No matter how good the past was, there is no going back.
"I think that all this is not necessarily a bad thing now. In the past, there was only one father who loved you, but now you have an extra father and a mother who loves you. When you think about it this way, doesn't it make you more transparent?"
Li Yue's dejected face showed a trace of a clean smile: "Do you think I should go to the capital?"
"Perhaps you don't want to go in your heart. But from a rational and objective perspective, I think you should go, or at least take a look."
When Li Yue heard this, the smile on her face paused slightly, and a strong sense of loss flashed through her heart.
After all, Jiang Yue did not say anything to persuade her not to go to the capital.
She also knew that her relationship with Jiang Yue was not so close that Jiang Yue could not leave her, nor was it so good that Jiang Yue had to keep her.
But she still couldn't help but feel heartache and sadness.
If Jiang Yue said not to go to the capital, she would not hesitate. Even if the sky fell, she would stay in Star City and stay with Jiang Yue.
"I will go." Li Yue forced a smile and suppressed the strong sense of loss in his heart.
"Well, the world is unpredictable. Maybe one day, we can see each other again soon. Maybe in the capital, maybe in Star City, maybe in some unknown place yet." Jiang Yue said with emotion.
