In addition to the initial supplies of the backpack, Ash also obtained a mini compass-like compass, but this compass cannot indicate the direction. It will only be attracted by a special beacon set in the supply point. Through the frequency of the pointer shaking, the approximate location of the nearest supply point can be found.

However, when I first stepped into the Silver Pine Coniferous Forest, the pointer on the compass did not change at all, which means that there was no supply point within a range of 500 meters from the starting point.

The scope of the special beacon is 500 meters. The compass will only take effect when it is close to the supply point within 500 meters. This is what the Huangquan instructor told him when he threw the compass to the ashes. Of course, in addition to this, he also said another sentence-

"If you want to give up during the assessment process, open the back of the compass, and there is a whistle that can buzz and blow it hard. If you are not dead before my people find you, they will drag you out of the assessment area - of course, if you choose to do this, it means you will never have the chance to enter the Underworld Training Camp in your life."

The snow in the forest area is thicker than outside. With one foot down, it is enough to reach the knees of the ashes. There is also a layer of thick and soft pine needles under the snow... It's okay in normal times, but now Ash's entire body is in a tight state. This feeling of not being able to step on the ground will make people feel nervous, and the physical consumption will gradually invisibly increase.

He held the compass with his left hand and the dagger with his right hand. Ashes were trekking in the snow with one foot deep and one foot shallow. He had already penetrated the assessment area for more than three hundred meters. So far, he had not encountered any sudden situation, and the pointer of the compass did not move any abnormally.

Yuri said that the closer you are to the finish line, the more dangerous it is. He must find a way to arm himself in the first half of the area. He must not miss those supply points in front.

The first half of the assessment area is a steep slope that is obliquely upward. A vertically growing tree trunk forms an angle of about forty degrees. The snow under the tree is very dry, and the fine ice crystals condense together to form hard particles, just like white sand. It will rustle when you step on it, and it will become extremely slippery after being stepped on... Fortunately, the ashes boots were specially designed for snow marching in the Imperial military industry. The soles of the boots have metal hook claws and strong grip, otherwise he would have fallen several times long ago.

As he walked, the ashes suddenly stopped and took back their left foot that had just stepped out. He found that the texture of the snow in front of him became quite tight, no longer the soft feeling of the previous one, it seemed to have been deliberately filled... Obviously, there was something wrong with this place.

He took out a rope from his backpack, buckled one end on his belt, and tied it to the nearby tree trunk at the same time. Then he squatted down carefully and dug it into the snow with a dagger.

After digging for about five minutes, the tip of the dagger touched the hard object with metal texture... Soon, the ashes determined the approximate area of ​​the trap. After clearing all the snow around them, the trap buried in the snow appeared in front of him.

This is an extra-large animal trap. The steel teeth on the clip are ten centimeters long. As for the spring in the middle of the clip, it is about the same thickness as the thumb of the ashes. It is estimated that the power of this thing can easily cut off one of the leg of the ashes.

Removed the spring, the ashes put away the trap and stuffed it into the backpack... This thing can be regarded as a fatal trap before it was discovered by him, and after it was discovered, it naturally became one of the materials that could be used.

After confirming that there was no other threat, the ashes untied the rope tied to the tree trunk - this is a simple and effective safety measure. If the trap mechanism is accidentally triggered by him, rolling down the steep slope can avoid the attack range of props such as explosives or crossbows, and a rope fixed at the waist can ensure that the ashes do not roll to the slope at once.

The trap was removed, but the ashes couldn't relax at all. The more you walked forward, the more the density of the trap would become, and the more fatal it would become...

As a student of the fifth phase of Huangquan, Yuri knows the traps that he will use in the introductory assessment, such as animal traps, anti-infantry mines, etc., which can only be said to be primary small traps. The real fatal killing moves are those double or even triple traps. Even if the surface mechanism is removed, this kind of trap will directly contact the hidden mechanism. Therefore, Yuri's suggestion is to directly detour when encountering mechanisms suspected to be multiple traps.

Traps are dead, and ashes can be tried to avoid, but those beasts placed in the assessment area by the assessee are not that easy to deal with... According to the original plan, ashes that can bring steam guns into the field only need to be careful of the trap. Those beasts are similar to living targets to him, but now, let alone steam guns, there is not even a flint gun. If you encounter those beasts, it will inevitably be a tough battle.

"Maybe you can take advantage of those traps..."

Ashes was thinking in his mind that although the traps were arranged for him, they would also be triggered if they were stepped on by a beast. Then for Ashes, the benefits in this are definitely one plus one and two.

Many traps have exquisite mechanical structures. These machinery may not be destroyed after the trap is triggered. After studying with Yuri for a month, Ash itself is almost an intermediate mechanic. Using these things, he can completely create some weapons with simple structures and powerful power.

For example, the spring in the trap can be used as a crossbow string of a powerful crossbow. As long as it is equipped with a bow arm with sufficient strength and a corresponding firing mechanism, the arrows shot out can have the penetration power no less than that of a flintstorm.

"It's just that arrows are more difficult to deal with. The strength of branches is too low and may break before they are shot out. The processing of metal materials is too difficult..."

Just as the Ashes was worried about the material problem, the compass in his left hand suddenly trembled slightly, and the specially treated pointer began to rotate rapidly!

This means that there is a supply point within the range of five hundred meters of the ashes!

Ashes immediately stopped, and the speed of the pointer on the compass slowed down little by little, and finally stabilized within a range and kept swinging.
Chapter completed!
