In the entire border defense line of Tiemen Pass, each pass has two daily tasks that the guard team must do. These two tasks are to strengthen the wall and clear the field.
Jianbi refers to the wall that repairs the city gate.
After many years of fighting against the demon cultivators, the walls of the border gate were riddled with holes. The reason why the border gate has been able to stand for thousands of years is because of the repairs made day after day.
After a war, every patrol team must write down the damaged areas, and then send people to repair them. They must not miss a single spot, and the quality must be guaranteed in every spot. This is a strong wall.
As for clearing the field, as the name suggests, it means clearing away all the woods and dense vegetation within one mile of the city gate, so as to clear the visual obstruction for the patrol team at the city gate. This way, if there are any demonic cultivators in the wild who want to attack the city gate, they can be discovered in time.
Today, Su Ping'an and the others' task is to cut down trees and clear the fields.
Creaking, creaking...
As the heavy gate of the city gate was raised under the operation of the crane, the scenery outside the gate suddenly broke into the sight of the students of Wen Palace and Hongye Academy.
Looking into the distance, you can see the blue sky, white clouds, green mountains and vast world, which makes people feel like they can't help but want to shout loudly.
"This is outside the customs. The scenery seems pretty good!"
With a pair of dark circles under his eyes, Bai Hao followed the team out of the pass with a tired expression. After seeing the scenery in front of him, his expression finally cheered up a little.
In fact, the literary majors in other colleges are similar to Bai Hao. They also have a pair of dark circles under their eyes. There is nothing they can do about it. They are not used to life in the military camp when they first came to the military camp.
The Datongbu in the military camp, not to mention the hard beds and the abundance of mosquitoes, is just a room full of people snoring, grinding their teeth, talking in their sleep...all kinds of weird bad habits that make people miserable, not to mention that there are many people
If you don't wash your feet, the smell of all kinds of feet mixed together is simply poisonous.
Everyone tossed and turned in this environment for most of the night, and finally fell asleep in the morning, when the gong sounded.
If this was only one day, it would be fine. They are all literary cultivators. It would be no problem to use their literary energy to resist the first resistance. But before, they had been traveling for several days in a row. They were already exhausted, so they were like this now.
awful.
Seeing their appearance, the people from Hongye Academy snickered on the sidelines, "Looking at the state of these guys, they will probably fall down before they can chop down the trees." "Hahaha...
Then we will definitely win this time!"
When Yang Dongqing heard their words, the corner of his mouth curled up slightly, and then without saying a word, he led the people and set off towards the hillside ahead.
The mountains and forests within a kilometer of the border pass have almost been cleared by the sergeants before Hulao Pass, so if Su Ping'an and the others want to cut down trees now, they have to go a kilometer away.
The group of people then came to a hilltop, and in front of them were densely packed trees as thick as an adult's thigh. The trees were all straight and about seven or eight meters high. They were simply the best materials for making firewood.
"Okay, this is it. Each of your teams has a mission of 500 pieces. Whoever completes it first can go back and rest early. The rest is up to you!"
After Yang Dongqing handed over the task, he stepped aside and found a large bluestone to sit down on. He started looking at the people on both sides with a smile on his face, as if he was watching a good show.
People on both sides have not forgotten yesterday's bet, so as soon as their eyes met, sparks shot out, and the contest between the two sides began.
"Brothers of Hongye, let the defeated generals like Wen Gong take a good look at our strength!"
Pei Jinghong, the team leader of Hongye Academy, shouted, then took the lead in picking up an ax and chopped down a big tree in front of him.
On the other side, Feng Shaoyang refused to show weakness, "Brothers from Wen Palace, let's not be idle, show our skills and let those rookies in Hongye take a good look at how they were crushed by us. Let's start.
!”
After giving the order, the two sides immediately started working in full swing. For a while, the small hilltop was full of shouts and the sound of chopping down trees.
But this state did not last long. After a cup of tea, the voices of the group of people who were shouting enthusiastically just now gradually disappeared.
Su Ping'an was also behind the crowd, wielding an ax and attacking a big tree in front of him. But surprisingly, these trees, which seemed to be only thigh-thick, were exceptionally tough, even if he used his full strength to attack.
Even if I exerted my strength and used the ax to strike, it would only cut through a layer of bark on the big tree.
"Let me go, what kind of tree is this? Is it so hard?!"
Su Pingan was shocked at that time.
He even chopped it down more than thirty times. If it were an ordinary big tree, it would probably have fallen down. But the tree in front of him is not even one-fifth of it, which is outrageous. Luo Fengqi next to him
Panting, after hearing Su Pingan's words, he wiped his sweat and said: "These are iron needle trees, a specialty of the south. They are named because their leaves resemble iron needles and are extremely tough. These are the wooden huts we live in in the camp.
Made of trees, very strong!”
"What, then we can still complete the mission? Are you sure this isn't trying to trick us?"
After listening to Luo Feng's explanation, everyone in the Wen Palace began to have doubts about this mission.
Even if the trees are hard and they don't let them use Wenqi, if they cut them down like this, they might not be able to complete the task even if it gets dark.
They are now very suspicious of the true purpose of this mission. I'm afraid it's the big bearded man who wants to show off to them?!
Turning around and looking at the Hongye Academy side, Pei Jinghong and the others were no better off than the Wen Palace side. The group of people had not knocked down a tree so far. Instead, they were all tired and out of breath. From time to time,
You can also hear the sound of cursing.
"What kind of tree is this and why is it so hard?"
"This must be a fucking rock. Why did I spend a long time cutting it down to such a small amount?"
"We can cut down five hundred of such a hard tree, but we are not allowed to use Wen Qi. How can we do this?"
Hearing the complaints from Hongye College, the people in Wen Gong immediately felt a lot more balanced.
It turns out they can’t do it either!
Yang Dongqing, who was in charge of supervision next to him, had already expected this situation. He curled his lips, then stepped forward to take the ax from Su Pingan's hand, and started swinging it without saying a word. He didn't even look at how hard he used it, but
Every time the ax went down, it almost chopped off a large piece of wood. It only took five or six strokes, but the iron needle tree in front of him made a crisp cracking sound, and then fell to the crowd with a bang.
in front of.
After cutting down a tree, Yang Dongqing turned around with a relaxed look and smiled at everyone: "Is it difficult?!"
Everyone twitched their mouths.
They seriously suspected that this thing was installing forks, but there was no evidence.
Then Yang Dongqing also told them that the reason why they were not allowed to use Wen Qi was not to deliberately punish them, but that if they used Wen Qi, they would be noticed by the demon cultivators in the wild, which would cause unnecessary trouble.
And his behavior coupled with these words, in fact, in summary, he wants to tell Su Ping'an and the others one truth, that is... you are too weak!
