"Huh? Let me see..."

Fu Changxiong squeezed forward and found that the river markers on the map were indeed gone.

"Holy crap, what's going on? I remember there were markings when I looked at it last time."

"What? What happened?"

Ye Feng pulled his hand back.

"Isn't it obvious? The production team is forcing us to take the main road. They've tampered with the map."

"You can do that? This...this is pure cheating!"

"snort…"

Ye Feng sneered, his expression revealing an indescribable complexity.

"How many times have they cheated since they entered this game?"

We were their toys, and all the locations were arranged in advance.

They even knew about the once-in-50-year flood long ago.

Now, it's obvious they don't want me to get the weapon smoothly.

They're counting on me to create shows for them and make a lot of money.

But you don't need to be angry, I've seen the previous river route map.

The length, width, and flow pattern were not marked, and the dense, crisscrossing text made it impossible to see clearly.

It's even more complicated than the roads in Chongqing. Getting lost on the water is much more serious than getting lost on land.

Therefore, I never intended to travel by water.

Hiss! ..."

As he said this, he suddenly felt a pain in his neck; a mosquito had started sucking his blood without him even realizing it.

Ye Feng quickly slapped his hand away, and a mosquito the size of a fingernail appeared in his palm.

"Whoa! This is a mosquito? You'd think it was a spider! Its bite hurts like hell."

"That's normal. When Xiaoyan and I were cleaning the sculpted meat by the river, my neck and hands were bitten several times, and they're still itchy."

As he spoke, Fu Changxiong tilted his head back, revealing red scratches all over his neck and back.

"This godforsaken place is truly torturous."

Ye Feng scratched his itchy hand, and upon reflection, he realized he hadn't actually taken any measures to prevent mosquito bites.

It wasn't that he hadn't thought of it, but everyone else had protective sleeves and was wearing raincoats.

At night, a fire can be lit, so the only places where mosquitoes can bite are the hands and face.

Mosquitoes won't bite your hands if you're constantly moving them, and they're easy to shoo away and spot on your face.

So he didn't pay much attention to this aspect.

It seems we still need to take some protective measures, since these mosquitoes bite really hurt.

"No, if we get bitten a few more times, how can we travel? Sisi, quickly get the herbs out."

Upon hearing this, Liu Sisi opened her backpack and took out a small bundle of various plants.

Before Maple Leaf could even speak, she began selecting plants.

Soon, several pure green, straight-stemmed plants were selected.

Ye Feng simply didn't take any precautions, but that didn't mean he wasn't prepared.

These herbs are effective in treating various external and internal injuries.

Along the way, they collected as they went, leaving no stone unturned as long as it might be useful and was not too heavy.

Mosquito-repellent herbs

Also known as "scented geranium" because its leaves emit a unique fragrance when touched.

Many people also call it "touch-touch fragrance".

Mosquito-repellent herbs are a type of traditional Chinese medicine that not only repels insects but also relieves rheumatic pain.

However, it needs to be mixed with baijiu (Chinese liquor) to maximize its medicinal effect.

Ye Feng took out an empty wooden jar, stuffed several mosquito-repelling plants inside, and then used the handle of an axe to rummage through the jar.

In less than five minutes, all the branches and leaves were crushed, and the green liquid and the debris were mixed together.

Then, he took out some alcohol from the first-aid kit and dripped a few drops into the solution.

After stirring well, the mosquito repellent is ready.

"Apply this to exposed skin, and it should last for 5 hours without any problem."

As he spoke, he poured some green juice into his palm and began to apply it to his face, neck, and hands.

After he finished applying the ointment, he noticed that everyone was pouting, raising their eyebrows, and staring at him without moving.

He was clearly trying to suppress a laugh.

"What are you looking at? Did I apply it wrong somewhere?"

"Pfft... Hahaha."

Liu Sisi was the first to burst into laughter, which caused the others to join in.

What are you laughing at?

Ye Feng was unaware that his face was now greener than the surrounding plants.

Occasionally, some plant debris would stick to his face, like green freckles, making the scene quite comical.

"Brother Feng, I really want to show you a mirror. You...you look exactly like that Avatar, hahaha..."

Liu Sisi laughed the most exaggeratedly, shaking her head repeatedly.

"Bro, if you were taller and stronger, you'd really look like the Hulk."

Fu Changxiong patted his shoulder, unable to suppress a smile.

"Alright, alright, stop laughing. Let me tell you, many of the mosquitoes in the Amazon carry viruses and parasites."

"We might already be infected. Since you want to die, I'll grant your wish."

"Eh eh eh!..."

Seeing that Ye Feng was really about to pour out the herbs in the jar, the others quickly stepped forward to stop him, and Liu Sisi snatched the wooden jar away.

The smile faded a bit…

"Avatar it is. As long as I can survive, I'm willing to become Nasreddin."

Amidst their conversation and laughter, the group applied the herbs, tidied themselves up, and continued on their journey.

In the afternoon, the sun had completely dispelled the clouds, and sunlight shone across the entire Amazon, evaporating almost all the fog.

Ye Feng and his group maintained their orderly pace, moving through various forest vegetation.

Their long-term life in the rainforest has taught them some effective ways to avoid poisonous insects and wild animals.

Now that we've applied mosquito-repellent herbs, it's much faster.

In less than an hour in the afternoon, they had walked a kilometer.

Compared to yesterday, this is already a very fast pace.

"Ouch…"

Ye Feng, panting heavily, wiped the sweat from his brow and stopped under a eucalyptus tree.

"Let's take a break first."

"Ah!...That's great!"

Liu Sisi let out a long sigh. They hadn't stopped for the past hour.

The three men were fine, but the two women's feet were already a little sore and swollen.

There's nothing we can do; different people have different constitutions, and the paths in the rainforest are indeed difficult to traverse.

Climbing slopes and descending ravines, the road was extremely rugged, and my feet were constantly out of balance.

Liu Sisi scratched her neck, just about to take the water bottle out of her bag.

But then I suddenly noticed a few streaks of blood under my fingernails.

She didn't kill any animals today; the harpy eagle she ate for lunch was prepared by Fu Changxiong and Qi Xiaoyan.

I was only responsible for cutting the meat, and by the time it was cleaned, there was no blood left.

So where did these bloodstains come from?

However, as soon as the thought popped into her head, she realized the problem and quickly touched her neck.
