Wu Yong and others were naturally in charge of everyone's training. Wen Hao had nothing to do, so he found a place to sit down and practice quietly.
Twenty laps is neither too much nor too little. What's more, each of them carries more than a hundred kilograms of equipment, so it's naturally not that easy to run.
At the beginning, everyone seemed relaxed, but after a few laps, some people felt that it was difficult. By the tenth lap, everyone was sweating profusely, and their foot speed had dropped by more than half.
And when the fifteenth lap came, everyone's face was pale and their steps were staggering, like a baby just learning to walk. The speed was slower than usual, and even after walking for a while, they had to stand and catch their breath for half a day.
"Hold on, persistence is victory." Wu Yong shouted to everyone while running. Looking at his light steps, he seemed to be very relaxed, but his red face and bulging veins proved his current situation.
"Come on guys, you can rest after running and eat meat." Uncle Mo also shouted to everyone with a smile, but the rain of sweat on his forehead proved his current situation.
Encouraged by Wu Yong and others, everyone continued to run, but at this time it was obvious that the old mercenaries were far stronger than the young mercenaries. By now, although all the old mercenaries were also very tired, at least
They could still keep jogging, but those young mercenaries were already so tired that they almost didn't know how to walk.
But from another aspect, we can also see how united the Iron-Blooded Mercenary Group is. Although it is about to arrive in an hour, if those old mercenaries give up the young mercenaries and run with all their strength, they can completely achieve the goal set by Wen Hao.
Run twenty laps within the time limit.
However, none of them did this. They would rather not complete the task and go hungry, but still walk with the young mercenaries. Not only that, some of them even helped some young mercenaries who were about to lose their strength.
Everyone gritted their teeth and persisted, and time passed by little by little. Soon one hour was up. Due to the drag of the young mercenaries, none of the mercenaries had completed twenty laps.
As a result, it is obvious that no one can complete the tasks set by Wen Hao. Even those mercenaries who run forty laps in one and a half hours cannot complete the tasks set by Wen Hao. But even if they know that they can't complete it,
There was no breakfast this morning on the mission, but no one gave up. They all continued to move forward, and some even almost became crawling forward.
To Wen Hao's expectation, it would not be too difficult for Tie Jian, the forging master, to follow the crowd with his strength. However, at this time, he was so tired that he was sweating profusely because he was holding a man with one hand.
He was a young mercenary, and the two young mercenaries were already exhausted and had no energy left, so they relied on him to help them move forward.
Seeing everyone's performance, Wen Hao was very satisfied. He stood up from the ground, walked to the fire, took out a large piece of meat, forked it with an iron fork, and roasted it.
By the time Wen Hao finished grilling the barbecue, an hour and a half had passed. At this time, all the mercenaries, including Tie Jian, were so tired that they fell to the ground. However, they were not depressed at all, but had happy smiles on their faces.
Because they know that although they are very tired now, they can already foresee that as long as they persevere, they will one day get ahead in the future. This kind of opportunity is something they have never dared to think about before, so they cherish it very much.
The last step is to never give up easily.
"Very good. Although your strength makes me very dissatisfied. It is too weak, but the strong perseverance you have shown also proves that you still have some value worth cultivating. As long as you can continue to persevere, the entire Western Continent,
There will be a world for you in the future." Wen Hao came to the crowd, looked at the mercenaries lying on the ground, nodded and said: "Although you have not completed the tasks I set, but between your
Your performance is pretty good, so I will definitely give you a chance."
Wen Hao pointed to the barbecue on the fire behind him and said to everyone: "I grilled some meat for you for breakfast, but unfortunately, it is only enough for one team of you, so now you four teams can have a competition, who comes last
Whoever wins will get these barbecues."
When everyone heard this, they all looked at each other. At this time, they were so tired that they had no strength to even stand. How could they have the strength to compete again. However, none of them objected to Wen Hao's proposal. They just gritted their teeth and stood up tremblingly.
.
The competition started soon. The first team faced off against the second team, and the third team faced off against the fourth team. After the two teams had a winner, the winner would compete again, and the winner would get to eat barbecue.
It's just that this competition ended in less than five minutes, and there was no winner, because in the end they all collapsed from exhaustion, and no one in the four teams of mercenaries could still stand.
Although no team won, in the end, Wen Hao still shared the piece of barbecue with everyone. Although Wen Hao wanted everyone to know the cruelty of reality, Wen Hao also understood that these people could not adapt to this first day of training.
The training in the morning has made them very tired. If they don't eat some food, when they are hungry and tired, letting them go hunting for strange beasts in the forest will greatly increase their danger. Wen Hao doesn't want them to do this.
He died here in vain.
Although everyone was so tired that they could hardly get up, Wen Hao only let them rest for half an hour, and then issued the task again: "From now on, you will work as a team and enter the forest to hunt strange beasts. Before noon,
Everyone must hunt a third-level strange beast. Anyone who fails to complete the task will have no food at noon and no wine at night. Remember, no matter whether the task is completed or not, you must be back before noon. Do you understand?"
"Understood." When everyone heard this, their hearts trembled, and their expressions changed drastically. The third-level strange beasts were still too strong for them, but thinking that they were working as a team, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
.
Watching everyone leaving the camp one after another, only the second team led by Madman was left on duty in the camp. Looking at the empty camp and the direction in which everyone was leaving, Wen Hao was still a little worried.
Although three sword madmen, Wu Yong, Sun Hai and Lei Jun, were also in the team just to be on the safe side, this was a forest of ten thousand beasts. There were so many groups of strange beasts that just one sword madman was not enough to see.
After thinking about it, Wen Hao found Tie Jian and Tie Hammer and asked them to follow a team secretly. Then he found Uncle Mo and asked him to guard the camp carefully and arrange everything. Wen Hao then flashed and disappeared in
In the vast forest.
Wen Hao only walked four or five miles before he caught up with the team in front of him. This team was a small team led by Niu Er. At this time, they were fighting with a group of strange beasts. However, when Wen Hao glanced at the group of strange beasts,
The queen of beasts no longer worries about them.
Just because it was a group of second-level strange beasts. Although there were more than a dozen in number, they did not pose much danger to Niu Er and others. The martial arts following Niu Er and others seemed to be interested in training everyone, and they actually stood aside and watched.
The others fought hard but did not take any action.
Just as Wen Hao expected, half an hour later, all these strange beasts were killed by everyone, and not even one of them escaped. Afterwards, Wu Yong directed everyone to pull off the skins of all the strange beasts, and also harvested
Three level two Yuan Crystals made everyone excited.
After bandaging the injured person's wounds and resting for another ten minutes, everyone continued moving forward with excitement on their faces, carrying the harvested animal skins.
Wen Hao had been following them secretly. He saw that under the leadership of a group of old mercenaries such as Niu Er, their team was neat and cautious, and they did not dare to be careless in guarding their surroundings. Wen Hao was still very satisfied with their performance.
Until almost noon, Niu Er and others did not encounter any big crisis. The most dangerous time was when they encountered four third-level strange beasts. However, with Wu Yong, the sword mad master, these four third-level strange beasts were also present.
It didn't bring them much danger.
"It's getting late, let's go back." Wu Yong glanced at the sky and said to everyone.
"Deputy leader, we still have one animal left to complete the task assigned by the leader." Niu Er glanced at the animal skins carried on everyone's shoulders and said.
"It will be noon soon. We can't wait any longer. If we don't go back by then, the team leader will be worried." Wu Yong glanced at everyone and said in a deep voice: "And with everyone's current state, unless we encounter a separate Level 3
Strange beast, otherwise we will not have the strength to fight anymore, and if we continue, it will only become more and more dangerous."
"But the regiment leader said, if you don't complete the task, you won't have lunch!" Niu Er looked at Wu Yong and said with a worried face: "I didn't eat enough this morning, and I didn't have anything to eat at noon. I'm afraid it will be difficult to complete the training in the afternoon.
, then there will be no food to eat at night..."
"Don't worry, the leader will never really let us have no food to eat." Wu Yong laughed, and in order to reassure everyone, he continued: "If the leader really doesn't give us food, just let me go hungry."
"Okay!" Wu Yong said this, and Niu Er couldn't object anymore. Besides, he also understood that everyone's current situation was indeed not suitable for staying here anymore, so he immediately ordered: "Let's go back."
Seeing that everyone was not in danger, Wen Hao smiled slightly and turned back to the camp.
As soon as he walked into the camp, the usually mouth-watering aroma of meat hit his nostrils. A faint smile appeared on Wen Hao's face and he walked straight to the place where the aroma emanated.
"Captain." Seeing Wen Hao approaching, several mercenaries who were busy roasting meat quickly stood up and saluted Wen Hao respectfully.
"They haven't come back yet?" Wen Hao waved his hand to signal everyone to continue, then looked at the somewhat empty camp and asked.
"Not yet." The madman came from the side with a smile, saluted Wen Hao first, and then said: "It's getting late, I should be back soon."
Nodding, Wen Hao walked to the fire pusher, sat down next to the mercenaries, looked at the golden barbecue on the fire rack, and praised: "Your skills are good. If you don't want to be a mercenary in the future, go to
If you open a barbecue restaurant, business will definitely be booming."
"Nowadays, the world is dominated by bandits and bullies. Even if you have good skills but don't have the corresponding strength, you will eventually become the target of others' pressure." A mercenary said with a look of despair.
After looking at the mercenary who spoke for a while, Wen Hao nodded and said: "You are right, so we must work hard to practice and become stronger, not for anything else, but to stop letting others
Bully."
