Chapter 689: Poisonous Mushrooms

Translator: Lordbluefire

A group of people stood together, and the soldiers would definitely check their equipment after landing.

After all, when the parachutes came down, some scraped against nearby tree branches, which could potentially damage something.

For example, at this very moment, a young soldier from the Ji family’s army picked up his water bottle and saw that it was leaking at the bottom. He was almost in tears. “Isn’t this water bottle supposed to be very sturdy? How could it leak?”

In this kind of place, fresh water was hard to find, as the water in the rivers could be polluted.

So, when they came, they had to bring a little water. By conserving this water, they could last until the fifth day.

Now that the water bottle was leaking, the soldier was almost in tears. What was he going to do next?

When General Ji heard his exclamation, he was slightly startled. (Did that woman really get it right?)

But after seeing his own soldier’s situation, he quickly recovered and sneered, “What’s all the fuss? It’s just a broken water bottle, isn’t it? When the time comes, let the others give you water to drink If that doesn’t work, well find a place with fresh water in the wild.¹‘

After finishing speaking, he looked at Shen Ruojing and scoffed, ’’Princess, your Yan family’s army should have some damage too, right?’¹

Of course, there were damages on the Yan family’s side as well. Some people’s clothes were torn by tree branches, and some had spilled their medicine powder on the ground. However, the water bottles were very hard and of good quality, so none of them were broken.

Shen Ruojing glanced thoughtfully at the soldier who had just exclaimed, her gaze falling on his water bottle.

(He seems to have hit a rock when he fell, which is why General Ji doesn’t suspect…) Follow current s on novelenglish.net . Firᴇ.net

Shen Ruojing then retracted her gaze and didn’t bother to argue with him. After all, no matter what she said now, he wouldn’t believe her. Hence, she simply gestured to Yan Zixuan. “Which direction should we go?”

The island was huge, and no one knew in which direction the flag had been planted. Therefore, everyone would spread out and search in all directions.

The reason the Yan family’s army always won the martial arts tournament was that if the Luo family’s army or the Ji family’s army found the flag, the other teams could snatch it.

In such a martial arts tournament, the early stages tested the soldiers’ ability to survive in the wild, while the later stages truly assessed their martial arts skills. However, in this martial arts tournament, no one took the Yan family’s army seriously anymore because having ten female soldiers was equivalent to having ten fewer fighters.

Both General Ji and Luo Jian considered each other their biggest rivals this time, and they had long since excluded the Yan family’s army.

The two sides glanced at each other and immediately chose different directions. Everyone then dispersed.

Before finding the flag, there was no need for them to fight.

Besides, with three teams in total, wouldn’t the remaining team benefit from the other two fighting?

No one was that foolish.

Yan Zixuan led the Yan family’s army and Shen Ruojing’s female soldiers toward the north, quickly putting some distance between themselves and the soldiers behind them.

Yan Zixuan then stopped and called his personal guard. “You go and scout those two teams. We don’t want to be ambushed and not even know it.’¹

In the wilderness, with three armies harboring their own thoughts, military tactics were crucial.

When the personal guard went away, Luo Yan couldn’t help but say, “I didn’t expect the martial arts tournament to be so particular!”

Yan Zixuan nodded. ’’Yes, do you think the martial arts tournament is just a bunch of people fighting? What you’re thinking is too simple. Just like in modern warfare, it’s not only about a country’s military power but also various strategics. Especially since the environment is different in each place, different methods need to be adopted…’¹

Luo Yan listened to him and stared at him.

At this moment, someone suddenly spoke from a distance, “There arc wild mushrooms here! They must be delicious!¹¹

Everyone looked over.

In fact, when they came, they brought compressed biscuits. After all, in modern society, there was no need for them to cat tree bark and find food for themselves. No matter what, they needed to be prepared with food.

Someone nearby said, “Don’t touch it, we have food.”

Upon hearing this, the person who discovered the mushrooms suddenly spoke, “But the supplies exchanged by the Luo family’s army and the Ji family’s army don’t include them.¹¹

With this remark, everyone fell silent.

All the people in the Yan family’s army couldn’t help but look at Yan Zixuan, with stubborn expressions on their faces. “Captain, let’s not eat the compressed biscuits either.”

Their intention was clear – they wanted fair competition.

They didn’t want to be accused of being unfair if they won the contest in the end.

Just as Yan Zixuan was about to speak, Shen Ruojing calmly said, “These mushrooms are not edible.”

Everyone immediately looked at her.

Shen Ruojing explained, “This is a tropical rainforest. So indeed, there arc many things here that can satisfy our hunger, but we must be cautious. These mushrooms are poisonous.”

She looked worried and then added, “Moreover, this place is too far from human habitation, and many plants here arc quite different from those on land. I suspect that the plants here have undergone some mutations. It’s better not to cat them if we can avoid it”

Upon hearing this, the soldier who found the mushrooms immediately became unwilling and said directly, “Princess, I know you ladies arc delicate and can’t bear it, but I’m not afraid. I want to eat..”
