She had to be more cautious, knowing she had to hide. Since she didn’t have any time to wipe away her traces, she must leave no traces when she was traveling. Ye Jian1 endured hunger and didn’t eat the whole afternoon before pulling a distance from the soldiers.

On the second day of the ‘escape from death’ training, Ye Jian entered the period of continuous starvation.

Grass and roots were food that could be eaten while traveling; Ye Jian relied on the grass and roots to replenish her energy. After five hours of walking, she found two bird nests; she ate a total of six tiny bird eggs the size of pigeon eggs.

During the whole day, she ate half a slice of raw snake meat in the morning, drank stream water at midday, ate grass and roots in the afternoon, and six bird eggs at night!

She was not as relaxed as the first day. With the soldiers in pursuit, she needs to be on guard at all times to avoid being discovered.

” The three of you outflank from here, you two cover the back, you will block the front, Stone and I will give a sudden attack and press her head tightly!” Team A discovered Ye Jian’s whereabouts once again; they began forming a triangle formation to outflank her, as they moved closer to where Ye Jian was resting.

Team B, who caught up directly, launched an assault; it seemed as if they were deliberately beating the grass to startle the snake, making Ye Jian lose direction in panic.

In the evening, the golden crow on the edge of the sky plunged deep into the sea of clouds, retracting the last ray of light for the day. Ye Jian, who was resting on a tree, was suddenly like an arrow that left the bow; she directly dashed down the steep mountain, she was so fast that the leaves swept her ears, she was not afraid of the twigs and leaves piercing her eyes or cutting her skin!

” F*ck me!” The soldiers who were lurking close by saw her deliberately rushing down; they all tightened their rucksack and rushed down.

Team Leader Xiao and Team Leader Ding brought their teams as they followed the sounds of leaves swishing, they brought along their troops as they deliberately rushed down.

” Outflank, outflank! Disperse three of the left and right, the others give chase in the middle,” Team Leader Ding deployed before the fourteen of them dispersed, he even said to Team Leader Xiao: “We will be in trouble if we can’t catch her tonight!”

Ye Jian realized someone was approaching and was running towards the route she needs to walk the next day. Not only must she run, but she also had to run to a place with a slightly broader view; she even needs to turn her head to look at the mountain’s shape under the night.

Otherwise, how could she draw the topographic map matching her journey!

The military map given to her was not the map that was bought in the city; it was all ‘contours’ connected by the points! She had to draw the topographic map by herself, which could only be drawn by seeing it for herself.

Ye Jian only used twenty-seven minutes running from the mountain ridge to the intersection of two mountains; she had run continuously for close to half an hour while in the state of hunger.

The soldiers in pursuit chased closely; Ye Jian no longer continued running wildly; she quickly found a place for cover after pulling some distance. There were so many soldiers giving chase; she had to quickly finish off a few people in secret. There were still five days; she didn’t want to spend the nights running desperately in the woods.

Although the left and right flanks could search for Ye Jian in a wide range, their military strength was not concentrated and became a weakness, which was convenient for Ye Jian to finish them off in secret.

She already found the person in charge of cover. When she heard the sounds of movement coming from nearby, she quietly got up and approached silently, “Don’t move!” The military dagger touched the other party’s back when he turned around, a clear and cold voice reached the soldier’s ears, “You have been finished off by me.”

The military dagger had touched his vitals; could he not be considered ‘finished off’?

After Ye Jian motioned for him to squad down, she laughed softly: “You can have a good rest, comrade.”

……

He didn’t want this kind of rest at all.
