Ye Feng was taken aback, thinking she was injured, and held her hand for a while.

"You're not injured, so where did the blood come from?"

Qi Xiaoyan quickly pulled out two leaves from behind her, on which were still stained with a few drops of bright red blood.

"I just touched it by accident."

Ye Feng quickly turned to the side, took the leaf, and gently touched the front of it.

Blood immediately stained his fingers.

"Could it be left by an injured wild animal?"

Liu Sisi guessed...

Ye Feng brought the leaf to his nose and sniffed it gently. In less than two seconds, his eyes narrowed, and he immediately stood up with a wary expression, rejecting the guess.

"No! This is human blood! There are people nearby! Be on alert!"

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone immediately understood the seriousness of the situation.

Before they set off, Ye Feng had analyzed for them that they would most likely encounter people along the way.

Perhaps, they will be one of the top ten people on the list.

In short, they are now walking fat sheep, and almost everyone who is human is an enemy who wants them dead.

At that moment, the group of people stood up instantly, like startled cats.

Those with bows had already drawn their bows and arrows, Fu Changxiong gripped his axe tightly, and Qi Xiaojie took out several stones.

They formed a circle, leaning against a large tree, warily surveying the surrounding woods.

However, apart from trees, there are not many tall plants in this jungle.

If someone is indeed lying in ambush, it would be almost impossible to avoid being spotted by 10 eyes.

Each of them stared in a different direction, scanning everything within their field of vision.

It wasn't until a few minutes later that Ye Feng was certain that no one seemed to be lying in ambush there.

Otherwise, they would have been ambushed long ago, having stayed under the tree for so long.

"You can relax now, there shouldn't be anyone around."

Upon hearing this, everyone's tense nerves finally relaxed.

Liu Sisi swayed her slightly sore shoulders; it seemed she really couldn't hold on any longer after pulling the bow for so long.

"Brother Feng, how did you determine that the blood on this leaf is human blood?"

Ye Feng casually handed her the leaf in his hand.

"Human blood contains iron, which is light red in color and has a distinct rusty smell."

The blood of wild animals is mostly bright red and smells fishy and pungent.

The bloodstains haven't dried yet, indicating that someone passed through this area recently and was injured.

After saying that, Ye Feng, his face full of murderous intent, slung his backpack over his shoulder.

In his mind, everyone except his comrades is now his enemy.

Now that we've encountered a wounded enemy, it's the perfect opportunity to strike while the enemy is down.

While eliminating rivals, you might also acquire important equipment.

"Find it quickly, there must still be bloodstains nearby, we must eliminate this safety hazard."

"Um!"

After he finished speaking, everyone nodded in agreement and began to search the surrounding area.

In less than ten seconds, Qi Xiaojie's stammering voice rang out.

"Here...here!"

The group quickly gathered around, and Ye Feng crouched down to take a closer look…

Sure enough, there were some obvious traces of blood dripping on the ground covered with fallen leaves.

It extends all the way into the depths of the forest at the 3 o'clock position.

"Hey, looks like this kid's badly injured, he's lost so much blood. We've really hit the jackpot this time."

Fu Changxiong revealed a gloating smile.

"Oh…"

Ye Feng sneered. There weren't many survivors left; they were mostly sticking together.

This suggests that he might directly eliminate an entire group this time.

With this increase and decrease, the chances of survival are effectively improved.

"Be careful, he definitely has accomplices, and they might even be injured."

The four of you are responsible for guarding the surroundings, I'll find the way, keep it quiet.

"Follow my instructions and try to take them down without getting hurt."

And so, following the trail of blood, Ye Feng and the five of them, half-bent over, stealthily made their way into the depths of the forest.

Ye Feng gripped his bow and arrows tightly, even if the opposing side had the same number of people, or even two more...

He was 80% confident that he could inflict more than half of the enemy's casualties.

It is said that it is easy to dodge a spear in the open, but difficult to guard against an arrow in the dark.

Even disregarding Liu Sisi's inconsistent archery skills, she was still injured.

We also have three stable firing positions on our side.

If you make the first move, the opponent will definitely lose three players.

With his full suit of armor providing protection, even in a head-on close-quarters fight, he couldn't imagine why he would lose.

If Tang Weiwei and Zhan Pengwu were in it, that would be perfect.

About ten minutes later, the group arrived at a dense forest.

The few drops of blood that fell to the ground stopped right there.

They observed their surroundings carefully for a while, but apart from the uneven trees, there seemed to be no trace of human activity.

Qi Xiaoyan, her eyebrows raised, drew her bow and peered around aimlessly, then asked in a low voice:

"Brother Feng, could we have fallen into an ambush?"

After hesitating for a few seconds, Ye Feng decisively shook his head.

"The price of shedding so much blood to lure us in is far too high. The possibility of that is almost zero."

Moreover, there are no hiding places around. If we really wanted to ambush someone, the best place would be under a tree…”

Just as he finished speaking, he spotted a large tree at the eleven o'clock position directly in front of him.

On a branch of a large tree, five or six meters above the ground, the leaves of a cluster of leaves were swaying slightly.

Through the not-so-dense leaves, Ye Feng saw a figure inside.

The person's facial features were not clearly visible, but judging from the frequency of the leaves shaking, they seemed to be very frightened.

Or perhaps he was injured.

"Hey, look over there..."

He tilted his head back, and everyone followed his gaze.

Upon recognizing the person, Qi Xiaoyan immediately drew her bow.

Just as it was about to launch, Ye Feng reached out and stopped it.

"Don't worry, I can definitely hit it from this distance."

"I know."

Ye Feng didn't doubt Qi Xiaoyan's archery skills, but rather the matter was too strange.

He was certain that in this game, a lone wolf would never have survived to this point.

Because a person's energy is limited, it is impossible to be on high alert and detect danger in time while living in such a harsh environment.

At this point, you'll need the help of your teammates. And besides that, there's also the challenger's own battles against each other.

Living alone is tantamount to courting death.

Thinking this, he gathered his companions together, even though he already knew in his heart that there was probably no one else nearby.

However, out of caution, it is still necessary to confirm this first, after all, one's life is very valuable.

"You guys go together and search the surrounding area. I'll take care of this person. Be careful and don't go too far."

"good."

After giving the instructions, the group began to focus their search on the area behind the tree trunk.

If there were an ambush, these would be the only places where people could hide.
