At two in the afternoon, under the blazing sun, a military truck slowly drove into view, coming to a stop at the foot of the Giant Wood Mountain range.

This was the closest the highway got to the Giant Wood Mountain range. Going any further would mean leaving the highway behind, risking getting lost, and facing potential danger.

Zhang Chu was the first to hop down from the truck's passenger seat, followed by twenty Falcon Special Agents who jumped out and lined up in neat rows.

"All I can tell you is that our current location is to the south, and the assembly point is to the north. So, you can determine the general direction. No one's going to tell me they can't use a compass, right?" Zhang Chu said.

"No!" they all answered in unison.

Each one looked eager, seemingly filled with anticipation for their first training mission.

"Alright, everyone except Elite Squad 1, get on the truck! This is Elite Squad 1's drop-off point."

Zhang Chu issued his orders. According to the original plan, the truck would drop off a squad every five miles, with Elite Squad 1 being the last to disembark.

"Alright, let's go! Keep your spirits up, and don't bring shame to Elite Squad 1!"

After the truck drove away, Yan Su called Lin Feng and his two companions over. Then, under the blazing sun, the four of them stepped into the seemingly boundless Giant Wood Forest.

Inside the forest, towering trees blocked out even the midday sun. Once within, one didn't feel any extreme heat; the shade under the trees was cool and refreshing.

"Mr. Yan, each team has to retrieve two banners, and the packages containing banners are scattered. I don't think this approach is working; shouldn't we split into groups?" Lu Pengju suggested to Yan Su.

Yan Su thought for a moment and replied, "Indeed. The packages with the banners are scattered throughout the Giant Wood Mountain range. It would be inefficient for us to search as one large group. However, dispersing individually would be risky. Here's my suggestion: Lu Pengju, you and I will team up. Lin Feng and Ye Lin, you two form a group. We'll split up to search for the packages, then head directly north. If necessary, we can report tomorrow, but we must have a banner when we do. Otherwise, if we lose to other teams, our Elite Squad 1 will be disgraced. What do you all think?"

"I don't want to be in a group with Lin Feng."

No sooner had Yan Su finished speaking than Ye Lin immediately voiced her objection.

"HA! As if I want to be in a group with you. Women are nothing but deadweight," Lin Feng rolled his eyes and retorted.

"Mr. Yan, how about the four of us play rock-paper-scissors? Whichever two happen to throw the same sign will team up. I think that's fair, and no one should have any objections, right?" Lu Pengju proposed a rather silly method.

"Whatever works. In these deep mountains, even if there's danger, I believe any one of us four is capable of handling it."

Yan Su agreed to the silly suggestion. Lin Feng and Ye Lin didn't dare to disagree, so they just nodded.

The four of them gathered and played rock-paper-scissors, looking a bit like children playing house.

But the result was rather comical: coincidentally, both Lin Feng and Ye Lin had played rock.

"Well, that settles it. The other teams have probably already started moving. Lin Feng, Ye Lin, you two are a team. Try to head north. You don't need to look for each other. Once you find a banner, report to the assembly point as quickly as possible. We'll meet at the assembly point!" Yan Su instructed.

"Alright," Lin Feng said reluctantly, glancing at Ye Lin, who also wore an expression of displeasure.

"Lin Feng, make sure to look after Ye Lin. She's a girl, after all," Yan Su reminded him before they left.

"Who needs his protection! He should just worry about himself!"

Before Lin Feng could respond, Ye Lin interjected.

Seeing Ye Lin's resentful glare, Lin Feng could only shrug. "Whatever. I don't care."

Before long, Yan Su and Lu Pengju disappeared into the depths of the forest.

At the fork in the path, which was covered with dry twigs and fallen leaves, only Lin Feng and Ye Lin remained.

"HUMPH!"

Both of them snorted and then headed off in different directions.

"Hey, Mr. Yan and Mr. Lu just went that way. What are you doing following them? We should go this way."

Seeing Ye Lin heading in the direction Yan Su and Lu Pengju had taken, Lin Feng reluctantly turned around again. He looked at Ye Lin's slim back and said.

Ye Lin pursed her lips. Although reluctant, she knew she had to prioritize the mission, so she had no choice but to head in Lin Feng's direction.

"We need to find a package soon. They contain rations. If we don't find one before dark, we'll go hungry tonight."

Walking through the forest, Lin Feng scanned his surroundings, searching for the golden-yellow package Zhang Chu had mentioned.

"As if I need you to tell me!" Ye Lin, walking beside him, retorted sullenly. "You're not my leader, so I don't need your orders. We'll each do our own thing."

"Hey, can you not be so emotional? Any deep-seated grudges between us can wait until after the mission. If personal issues jeopardize our task, then it's on you."

"Who has any personal grudge with you? Stop flattering yourself!"

"Regardless, we should stick together. If we run into tigers or lions, at least we can watch each other's backs."

"What? Are you afraid of tigers and lions?"

"No, I'm worried you might be. I'm a natural-born tiger-fighting hero."

"HA! You think I'm scared? I grew up surrounded by poisonous snakes, tigers, and lions. HUMPH! You think I'd be afraid?"

"AHHHH!"

The moment Ye Lin proudly finished speaking, she suddenly leaped into the air, letting out a piercing shriek.

Lin Feng stared blankly at her. He then noticed that a hideously ugly toad had just hopped out from under her feet. It turned out she had accidentally stepped on the toad, which was covered in warts.

"Over a toad? Seriously? Weren't you just saying you're not afraid of poisonous snakes, tigers, or lions?" Lin Feng scoffed.

"I never said I wasn't afraid of toads!"

Ye Lin shot Lin Feng a hateful glare, her arms crossed. Stepping on the toad had given her goosebumps all over.

Since childhood, from picking medicinal herbs in the mountains, Ye Lin was accustomed to poisonous insects and fierce beasts. However, she had an innate fear of toads. She would instinctively recoil at the sight of one.

"That toad probably got close because it wanted a taste of your swan meat."

Lin Feng said with a smile. Seeing the toad actually hop to his feet, he glanced mischievously at Ye Lin, who was still trembling with fear, and a wicked idea for a prank formed in his mind.

"As a fellow underdog, if this toad wants a taste of swan meat, I have to help it out!" Lin Feng said with a straight face.

Then, with a wicked grin, he aimed his right foot in Ye Lin's direction and gave a gentle kick!

The innocent, hideously ugly toad, flailing its limbs, was sent flying. It soared right towards Ye Lin!
