"I don't care what rank they are. Even if it's Tang Weiwei and Zhan Pengwu, I'm going to kill them this time."

Horford had always wanted to avenge the loss of his finger, but despite saying so, he couldn't help but recall the two butterfly knives in Zhan Pengwu's hand.

If I hadn't shot him in the leg first last time, I probably would have died by his blade long ago.

Before long, the six people, panting heavily, finally ran back to the vegetation.

Actually, they had already discovered Kuito, who was completely naked, before they even arrived here.

Horford looked at the naked corpse and was overwhelmed with mixed feelings.

It was obvious that the other side was not flustered at all, and even launched a surprise attack.

Anger, frustration, and annoyance exploded in his mind in an instant.

"Ah!... Prosperity! Prosperity! Prosperity!"

He kept making "fuck" sounds. As someone who enjoys reading military strategy, he immediately fell for the "golden cicada shedding its shell" and "luring the tiger away from the mountain" tactics.

Horford roared in bewilderment, rubbing his large, bald head, which was as black as a hard-boiled egg.

I feel like my IQ has been completely crushed.

Even though he already knew that the cunning fox might have already escaped, he still had everyone search in the vegetation.

After all, even if you lose, you should understand where you went wrong.

Less than a minute later, Samperm's voice came through.

"Found it, it's here."

The group quickly gathered around and discovered a patch of collapsed vegetation.

Horford, with a constipated expression on his face, slowly lay down in that position.

He looked at the path he had come from, then at the side of the trap pit.

Only then did they realize that the fox had overheard their entire conversation and actions.

"This is really a good spot. It allows for maximum observation of the surroundings and is also convenient for launching a sneak attack."

However, this cunning fellow was cowardly; if he had wanted to ambush you then, given the power of his bow and arrows...

You should be a corpse by now.

Sempem's tone carried a hint of sarcasm and schadenfreude.

"No."

Horford shook his head and slowly stood up.

“This guy is a smart man. He knows very well that even if he kills me, you won’t let him go.”

He was terrified of death and unwilling to gamble with his life.

Very good, I think... the body found in that river last time must have been left by him.

Therefore, his camp is most likely nearby.

"Starting today, we'll search the neighborhood; we're sure to find him."

3 p.m.

Ye Feng, dragging his weary body, embarked on his journey home.

Due to unforeseen circumstances, he naturally did not choose that picking location.

However, the Amazon is rich in natural resources, although no bark of the gibbon tree was collected.

But he found a better plant to dispel dampness.

Smilax china —

It is also commonly known as Vine of Diamond, or Iron Thorn, Iron Water Chestnut... it has many nicknames.

They generally prefer to grow in warm, dry environments, especially in mountainous areas.

This plant can be found in many mountains and forests in China.

Although they are subtropical plants, they are quite common in the Amazon due to their strong adaptability.

When this plant flowers and bears fruit, the buds resemble dandelions, growing in clusters.

Don't let their unassuming appearance fool you; they are truly the kings of removing dampness.

Whether used to soak in water or boiled, it can effectively remove dampness.

While collecting pine resin, Ye Feng saw several clusters on the edge of a cliff.

He had felt that the plant looked familiar at first, and then he remembered that the survival guide had introduced the plant's medicinal properties.

So I simply picked them all.

It was an unexpected surprise.

He had a good day, gaining not only more intelligence about his opponents but also some tools.

They also collected most of the pine resin from a ceramic jar, and seven clusters of dampness-removing vines.

Kuroto's backpack contained only some dried meat and vines; aside from a machete and a dagger, which were somewhat useful...

Ye Feng looked down on the others.

But spoils are better than nothing.

In less than an hour, he reached the rocky creek outside the camp.

Before he could even go up, he saw Fu Changxiong and his group walking down with backpacks on their backs.

It seems they've come looking for themselves.

Hey! Bro!

Fu Changxiong greeted them warmly, and the four of them quickly ran downstairs.

"Damn, why did it take you so long to get back? We thought something had happened to you, and we were just about to come out looking for you."

Liu Sisi saw the quiver sticking out of Ye Feng's backpack, and one of the arrows had obvious bloodstains on its arrowhead.

She immediately guessed that Ye Feng must have encountered something.

"Brother Feng, did you encounter some wild beast? Or some other challenger?"

Ye Feng nodded in agreement.

"It's third on the leaderboard, Horford George. His team was lying in wait on the way to my first fishing trip."

"ah!?"

"What a coincidence!"

Two girls, one on each side, anxiously clung to Ye Feng.

"Brother Feng, are you injured?"

"Was the medical kit used for treatment?"

Ye Feng quickly pushed their hands away.

"Don't worry, I'm fine. I discovered something big today."

"What's up?"

"Let's go back and talk about it later. By the way, how's the task I assigned you going?"

Upon hearing this, everyone wore confident smiles.

Fu Changxiong patted his chest confidently.

"Don't you trust me to handle things? Little Stutterer and I haven't stopped for long."

The pit was dug long ago, exactly according to your requirements.

I also cut three extra entrances for the treehouse floor, and they're all installed now.

Liu Sisi also tilted her head back, like a child who had just gotten a perfect score and was waiting for her parents to praise her.

"Brother Feng, I've finished sharpening my wooden skewers, and I've sharpened them really well."

I picked ten taro roots and washed them all, but they all turned into starch.

I also dried the wild boar hides.

Qi Xiaoyan then added:

"I've washed all the clothes, even the old gauze backpack I used before. I just don't know if it'll still work."

Seeing everyone eagerly taking credit, Ye Feng was also very pleased.

These companions weren't very strong fighters, not as good as the old black guys around Horford.

But their execution was indeed swift; everyone treated Ye Feng's words as sacred decrees.

Most importantly, they are no longer just companions, but a family as close as brothers.

"Well done! You all did a great job, you'll be rewarded with a big meal today."

As long as they don't cause trouble and do everything he's told to do well, Ye Feng will naturally be generous with his praise.

And so, the group happily returned to the camp.

At this moment, the area around the treehouse, except for a narrow path leading through the center, is now surrounded by a ring of large pits.

It's clear that Fu Changxiong's construction skills are impeccable.

Each pit is at least two meters deep and about two meters wide, and is circular in shape.

Ye Feng arranged it this way on purpose, because only this shape could maximize the area of ​​the wound.
