Just as I finished doing all that, the rain started pouring down...

Ye Feng quickly climbed onto the crossbeam, holding his backpack to his side, placing a frying pan on his head, and then balancing two banana leaves on top of it…

To avoid getting his shoes and pants wet, he took them off; he didn't want to survive in wet shoes.

Fortunately, the logs used as crossbeams were quite wide, so my buttocks weren't too uncomfortable.

Both of them had their legs dangling in mid-air, while their bodies were leaning against the elephant-leg tree, making their posture look quite comical.

Ye Feng stared blankly at the rain; the fire was quickly extinguished, and darkness enveloped the surroundings…

However, the rain has one advantage: at least the wild animals, snakes, insects, and rodents have all gone to seek shelter from the rain, so the two of them are safe for the time being.

Compared to the two's current situation, the other contestants are not much better off...

About fifty kilometers to the southeast, under a large tree…

A balding man in his thirties was leaning against a tree root, clutching his bleeding chest and whimpering in pain... He appeared to be seriously injured...

He took off his backpack and, surprisingly, slowly pulled out a first-aid kit with a cross printed on it...

Just as he unzipped his jacket, a voice suddenly rang out from not far away…

"Brother Yong! He's over there!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a sudden, intense light shone on his face…

The bald man was so frightened that he lost his composure, as if he had seen a ghost, and hurriedly tried to get up and run away.

But the footsteps behind him seemed to be faster than he could run; he hadn't even taken a few steps...

The light drew closer and closer to him, until finally, he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his lower back and collapsed to the ground…

Two figures quickly ran in front of him. The one carrying a kitchen knife had dyed yellow hair and was named Lu Li.

The man holding the flashlight was a man with a buzz cut and tattooed arms; his name was Chen Xianyong.

The two men's eyes were filled with murderous intent, and they didn't care at all even though they were soaked to the bone.

Each of them carried two survival backpacks on their backs, clearly indicating that they were also challengers in this game.

"Hmph! You bald bastard! Keep running!"

Lu Li kicked him in the ribs, causing him to beg for mercy in pain...

"Please let me go, I'll give you everything..."

"Oh!?"

Lu Li chuckled mockingly, toying with the kitchen knife in his hand, and squatted down beside him…

"You've figured it out now? Where the hell were you before?! You made me get soaked like this, you deserve to die!"

As he spoke, he slashed the bald man's thigh with his knife, and blood immediately gushed out like a fountain...

The bald man screamed in agony, and the sound echoed through the deathly silent rainforest…

Lu Li snatched the backpack and first-aid kit from Chen Xianyong and turned to look at him…

"Brother Yong, should we let him fend for himself, or..."

Chen Xianyong took the first-aid kit, looked at the various medicines, alcohol, and gauze inside, and a satisfied smile spread across his face…

Without even glancing at Lu Li, he casually waved his hand...

"He's worth $200,000! Don't you want him?"

Lu Li understood instantly, and with a swift motion, blood began to gush from the bald man's neck...

His mouth was slightly open, and he began to roll around in pain, clutching his neck. Before long, he completely lost his life.

"Damn it! You sprayed me all over, you bald bastard!"

Lu Li disgustedly wiped the blood off his face, then kicked him again…

"Brother Yong, should we... continue looking for them?"

Chen Xianyong paused for a moment, then shook his head…

"No need, we already have enough survival tools on us."

"Let's find somewhere to spend the night, and tomorrow we'll start looking for a camp. After three months, we'll go straight for the kill!"

After saying that, the two stripped the bald man of his clothes, pants, and shoes, then turned and left…

It turns out that these two people had signed up for the competition together. In the past two days, they had killed several people, and the tools they used were mostly stolen.

Because their initial survival backpacks only contained a flashlight and a kitchen knife…

So the two devised a plan to kill and rob, not only to steal other people's survival tools but also to accumulate prize money...

Merrick, inside the Triangle Building in Garras…

Inside the monitoring room, there was a burst of excited cheers. Despite his advanced age, Makuko, with a cigar in his mouth, was happily performing a striptease…

A group of people around clapped and cheered; they had all seen what Lu Li and Chen Xianyong had just done…

The game had only been going on for two days when people started killing each other, something that had never happened before in previous episodes.

Such explosive footage would be an absolute hit once it airs... because viewers love watching shows that are both realistic and gory...

Therefore, everyone was in high spirits at this moment.

This show, besides offering the most realistic adventure and survival experience and the most exciting highlights, also features a battle of wits between human beings.

Those who participate in this show are basically people who are extremely short of money. They either want more prize money or they kill people to accumulate the prize pool.

Or perhaps it's for survival, with the aim of plundering others' tools, that they commit murder...

This is why, even after three years on the show, and with the participation of some professional survival experts, no one has yet won the grand prize.

It's not because they have an undeserved reputation, but because while they can guard against poisonous insects and ferocious beasts, they cannot guard against the human heart...

A short while later, Makuko waved his hand and addressed the Ugly Emperor:

"From now on, these two people's footage must be monitored in real time, as well as that Ye Feng..."

Oh right, and Tang Weiwei and Zhan Pengwu, and... well, anyway, those who performed well...

Everyone, pay close attention; our show's ratings this time depend entirely on them…

The Ugly King rubbed his red nose, smiled, and nodded... but then a hint of worry appeared on his face...

"Sir, there are still 85 challengers left. What if they are all killed off early on..."

I'm worried that we might not be able to edit together the ten episodes we envisioned...

Moreover, it's becoming increasingly difficult for us to recruit participants; there are rumors circulating in the media...

They said our production team was too stingy to give out the prize money, so they secretly killed the challengers who succeeded…

"Bullshit!"

Makuko angrily threw away his cigar…

"These damn media outlets will write any kind of news just to grab attention!"

Once this show is over, I'll make them all pay! You focus on your work and don't worry about anything else!

"yes!"

The Ugly Emperor nodded, but inwardly he was filled with complaints…

"Isn't our show also about grabbing attention?"

The next day, just as dawn was breaking, the chirping of birds filled the air, and Ye Feng, shivering, jumped down from the beam...

Although the Amazon is a tropical rainforest, he was only wearing a short-sleeved shirt...

The heavy rain that lasted almost all night still made him feel a bit cold.

He shivered, rubbed his aching buttocks, and went over to check the burly man's forehead...
