Chapter 261 New Tactics

After the first day of special training, Qin Feng and his partners clearly felt the improvement of themselves and the team. The next morning, the training ground was already in full swing. Everyone arrived early, eager to try the challenges of the new day. Deputy Dean Feng Jian stood in the middle of the field, looking at the group of energetic young people in front of him, and nodded with satisfaction.

Vice President Feng Jian waved his hand, signaling everyone to be quiet: "Today's training will focus on tactical coordination. You did a good job in yesterday's simulated battle, but in a real battle, you may encounter more complicated situations. You need to learn how to adapt to circumstances and respond flexibly."

Zhang Meng raised his hand and asked, "Vice President, what exactly is today's training? It won't be a simulated battle like yesterday, right?"

Chu Tian added: "Yes, if it's the same as yesterday, then I will definitely find a way to break through Qin Feng's defense!"

Vice President Feng Jian smiled and said, "Today's training will not be that simple. You will face some special situations, which may be enemy traps or sudden natural disasters. Your task is to find the best response strategy in the shortest possible time."

Ye Li nodded: "This sounds very challenging. We will need to use all the skills we learned yesterday."

Wang Yue seemed a little worried: "But if the emergency is too complicated, we need more preparations."

Vice Dean Feng Jian raised his hand and said, "Don't worry, today's training is not only to improve your combat skills, but also to teach you how to think calmly under pressure and make the right decisions."

Qin Feng exchanged glances with the others, and they all understood that today's training would be more severe. They packed up their equipment and prepared to start a new day of training.

At the beginning of the training, Vice President Feng Jian led Qin Feng and his team to a simulated desert scene. The sun was blazing, the ground was scorching, and the sky was full of yellow sand. This simulated desert looked so realistic that it made people feel as if they were really in the desert.

Vice President Feng Jian announced: "Your mission is to cross this desert and reach the oasis on the other side. In the process, you may encounter some unexpected situations."

As soon as he finished speaking, a low sound of wind suddenly came from the sky, and then a sandstorm came violently. The yellow sand was everywhere, and the vision became blurred. Qin Feng and his companions had to protect their faces to avoid being blinded by the sand.

Chu Tian shouted loudly: "This is really a big move at the beginning! Everyone be careful, it's not pleasant to get sand in your eyes!"

Zhang Meng shook the sand off his shoulders and said with a smile, "Haha! That's nothing! I just like this feeling. Come on, let's see who's afraid of who!"

Ye Li seemed much calmer. She quickly observed the surroundings and judged: "The sandstorm will affect our vision and movement speed. We need to find a place to shelter from the wind and wait for the sandstorm to pass before continuing to move forward."

Wang Yue nodded in agreement: "Ye Li is right. Going this way is not only dangerous, but also may deviate from the direction."

Qin Feng looked around and saw a large rock not far away. There was a sunken area behind the rock that could shelter from the wind. He pointed at the rock and said to everyone, "There is a shelter over there. Let's go there first and wait until the sandstorm weakens!"

Everyone quickly moved behind the rocks and huddled together, temporarily avoiding the strong wind. The sandstorm was roaring in the air, but they were relatively safe with their backs against the rocks.

Chu Tian patted the sand off his body and joked, "This desert trip is really different! It feels like a vacation."

Zhang Meng laughed out loud: "You're right! It would be even better if there was an iced watermelon!"

Ye Li smiled slightly: "Let's enjoy it after we complete the task. Now let's focus on the task at hand."

The sandstorm gradually weakened, and the line of sight was restored a lot. Qin Feng looked out and confirmed that the sandstorm had passed by more than half, and asked everyone to continue moving forward.

They carefully bypassed the sand dunes and rocks in the desert to avoid causing new sandstorms. After walking for about a quarter of an hour, they saw an oasis in front of them. There was a clear spring in the middle of the oasis, surrounded by palm trees and shrubs, which looked very attractive.

Wang Yue's eyes lit up when she saw the oasis: "There's a water source over there! We can go there to rehydrate."

Qin Feng nodded in agreement: "Yes, everyone drink some water to replenish your energy."

They quickened their pace and walked towards the oasis. Just as they were about to approach the oasis, the ground suddenly shook, and then several huge sand scorpions emerged from the desert. These sand scorpions were covered with hard shells, with their tails raised high and the tips flashing with cold light, which was obviously extremely poisonous.

Chu Tian shouted, "Oh my God! What kind of monsters are these? Why are they so big?"

Zhang Meng swung his giant axe, ready to fight: "No matter what it is! Kill them first!"

Ye Li quickly drew her bow and arrow, aimed at the head of a sand scorpion, and released the arrow. The arrow hit the target accurately, but the sand scorpion only took a step back, and was obviously not fatally injured.

Wang Yue casts healing magic to protect her teammates: "These sand scorpions have high defense, everyone be careful!"

Qin Feng clenched the Dragon Shadow Sword and commanded: "Ye Li and Wang Yue support from the rear, Chu Tian and Zhang Meng, follow me to attack head-on!"

The sand scorpion made a piercing hissing sound and pounced on them. Qin Feng took the lead and rushed forward. The Dragon Shadow Sword flashed a cold light and slashed fiercely at the front claws of the sand scorpion. The sand scorpion's hard shell cracked under the sword light and let out a painful hissing sound.

Chu Tian and Zhang Meng attacked the other sand scorpion from the left and right. Chu Tian's swordsmanship was swift, and each move was aimed at the vital points; Zhang Meng relied on brute force to swing the giant axe and chop fiercely, and the sand scorpion's hard shell could not withstand his strength and gradually cracked.

After a fierce battle, Qin Feng and his team finally defeated several huge sand scorpions. The bodies of the sand scorpions fell to the ground, and Qin Feng and his team were panting, but with a smile of victory on their faces.

Chu Tian wiped the sweat from his forehead and said with a smile: "This time it was really thrilling! These sand scorpions are really tricky!"

Zhang Meng also smiled and said, "But we finally killed them! Qin Feng, that sword you used just now was really powerful!"

Qin Feng nodded and panted, "Everyone is excellent. Without your cooperation, I would not be able to deal with these sand scorpions alone."

Ye Li put away her bow and arrow, stepped forward and said, "It seems that we need to better understand the creatures in these deserts. Only by knowing ourselves and the enemy can we win every battle."

Wang Yue smiled and said, "Although it was dangerous, we also learned a lot. Next time we encounter a similar situation, we will be more calm."

Qin Feng looked at the clear spring in the oasis and nodded: "Let's replenish water first, and then move on."

Everyone walked to the spring, the clear water sparkled in the sun, and looked mouth-watering. Zhang Meng was the first to bend down, scoop up a handful of water, and drink it in big gulps.

Zhang Meng smacked his lips and said, "This water is so sweet! Come on, everyone, have a drink!"

Others also scooped up the water and took a sip. The cool spring water took away their fatigue and made them feel refreshed.

While everyone was enjoying the spring, Qin Feng suddenly felt something was wrong. He looked around carefully and found that the plants in the oasis were a little abnormal. Although the oasis looked vibrant, the leaves of some plants showed unnatural colors.

Qin Feng said vigilantly: "Everyone be careful, there may be something wrong here!"

Ye Li immediately became alert. She observed the plants around her and found that some branches of some bushes had some tiny wounds, as if they had been scratched by sharp claws.

Ye Li whispered, "It seems that a battle has taken place here. We can't take it lightly."

Qin Feng nodded: "Everyone continue to be vigilant and be ready to deal with emergencies at any time."

At this moment, a big tree in the oasis suddenly shook, and several long tentacles stretched out from the treetops. Those tentacles quickly extended in front of Qin Feng and the others, obviously intending to attack them.

Chu Tian shouted: "Be careful! This tree is alive!"

Qin Feng quickly drew out the Dragon Shadow Sword and slashed at the tentacles. The tentacles were cut off by the sword light, but new tentacles quickly grew out. It was obvious that the tree had a very strong recovery ability.

Zhang Meng roared, swung his giant axe and chopped at the trunk of the tree. The axe hit the trunk, making a dull sound. The branches and leaves of the tree shook wildly, as if making a silent roar.

Ye Li shot several arrows through some tentacles in the tree canopy, while Wang Yue cast healing magic to protect everyone from the tentacles.

Qin Feng stared at the tree and thought calmly: "This tree has too many tentacles. Attacking its trunk alone will not solve the problem. We need to find its weakness."

At this moment, Ye Li discovered some strange lights near the roots of the tree. She pointed there and said, "Look! The light there may be its core!"

Qin Feng reacted immediately: "Let's focus our attack there! This may be its weak point!"

Everyone quickly moved around the tree, focusing their attacks on the light near the tree's roots. With the concentrated attacks of several sword lights and arrows, the tree's tentacles gradually became weak, and finally all the light disappeared. The tree's branches and leaves drooped and stopped moving.

As the tree fell, the oasis returned to peace. Qin Feng and his companions stood by the spring and breathed a sigh of relief. They knew that this test was over.

Chu Tian sat on the ground, panting and saying, "This time it was really dangerous! This tree is really difficult to deal with!"

Zhang Meng laughed loudly: "That's right! But we won! It seems that our training was not in vain!"

Ye Li smiled and said, "Yes, we have learned how to stay calm in emergencies and find solutions to problems."

Wang Yue nodded: "This kind of training is very helpful to us. Although it is a little dangerous, it has made us more united."

Qin Feng looked at everyone's satisfied smiles, and his heart was full of confidence: "No matter what conspiracy the Dark Sect has, as long as we are united, nothing can defeat us."
