Chapter 41 - Wind Trail, Flying Cliff! (1/2)

Chapter 41 -Wind Trail, Flying Cliff!

Ten days later...

Beneath the exuberant forest, on a curvy mountain path, a squad of twenty students wearing the uniform of Tian Lan Magic High stood near a mountain cliff...

No matter how much they complained and felt dissatisfied, they still trod upon the road of Bounty.

Ten days had passed in the blink of an eye.

In these ten days, they’d been advancing through obstacles, passing through large mountains and jungle. The bitterness they suffered was unbelievable.

“This freaking Chief Military instructor, I really want to curse him for sending us to such a sly place.” Wang Sanpang gasped for breath as he sat his butt down, while fanning himself with his cap.

“Yeah, freaking crap. Speaking of which, how have we not finished the 30 kilometers yet, isn’t this the tenth day?” Zhang Shuhua with the giraffe neck asked.

“The thirty kilometers is the distance if it was a straight line. We have had to climb hills, cross valleys, and take detours around mountains. This kind of road is more than 30 kilometers,” Zhang Xiaohou explained.

The squad Mo Fan was in had a total of twenty people. The Practical Mission needed to be completed by students, and thus no teachers were leading the squads, nor were any military instructors following. All they were given was a map to use.

The hardship of the journey for the past few days caused everyone to look like primitives, their faces were covered in filth and they were dripping with sweat.

“After crossing this river valley, we shouldn’t be too far from the Hundred Grass Valley that Chief Military Instructor mentioned,” class representative Zhoumin said as she held the map.

“Shit, how are we supposed to pass this river valley? Flying? In any case, it is at least 10 meters wide!” Wang Sanpang was the first to call out.

At this moment, there was a cliff in front of them!

The cliff on the opposite side of the mountain was right in front of them. However, the rapid and surging river below was fearsome. The roaring sounds of the water splashing against the rocks were very clear!

“What do we do? We can’t just give up halfway there.”

“How about we just go home. There are still other groups, it’s possible that they could finish this…” Zhang Shuhua the giraffe neck said.

“You lack spirit, how can you place your hope on other people?!” Zhoumin immediately reprimanded him.

“Then you tell us what to do. None of us are able to cross this cliff,” Zhang Shuhua complained.

“Oh right, Zhang Yinglu, aren’t you a Wind Magician, why don’t you try jumping over?” In this moment, Xu Zhaoting looked toward a girl with ponytails beside him.

The girl called Zhang Yinglu’s face immediately turned deathly pale as she shyly said, “N...no, I won’t jump. What if I fall?”

“We have ropes. The two cliffs have trees, as long as one person is able to directly jump to the other cliff on this valley and tie the ropes on the trees on the opposite side, then all of us will be able to use the ropes to cross over,” Zhoumin said, her eyes shining.

“Zhang Yinglu, don’t you want to get an A? You are jumping with a rope, even if you aren’t able to jump over, we are still able to pull you up. It’s only bungee jumping,” Xu Zhaoting continued.

“I don’t want to!” Zhang Yinglu was clearly a cowardly girl.

“Shit, when we need you, a Wind Magician, you don’t comply. What kind of Magician are you?” another Water elemental girl said.

“Let’s not force someone to do something they don’t want to,” Zhoumin said.

As everyone was still confused as to what to do, Mo Fan glanced at Zhang Xiaohou to his side.

Zhang Xiaohou wasn’t a very outstanding student within the Elite class. Everyone habitually placed their hopes on Zhang Yinglu who had the highest score in the Wind element. However, Zhang Yinglu was just a girl, how could she possibly do something that might risk her life.

“Monkey, do you dare?” Mo Fan opened his mouth to ask.

“What is there to be afraid of!” Zhang Xiaohou slapped his chest.

“Good!”

Zhang Xiaohou stood up and said to Zhoumin, Xu Zhaoting, and Zhang Shuhua, “Tie the rope around me, I’ll do it.”

Zhang Shuhua and Xu Zhaoting revealed doubtful expressions as they checked out the not-particularly-impressive Zhang Xiaohou.

However, someone volunteering was still better than standing there worrying helplessly.

Zhoumin’s movements were quite swift, she quickly tied one end of the rope around Zhang Xiaohou’s waist.
