Seven or eight minutes later, the group finally arrived at their destination.

The terrain here is very strange. From the sky, this large forest looks as if it has been parted in the middle.

Trees grow on both sides, and this middle section, which is fully exposed to sunlight, has no large trees and is about fifteen meters long.

The two golden fruit trees, exuding a milky fragrance, grow side by side on this dividing road, absorbing all the sunlight without any blind spots.

Perhaps due to this year's rainy season being a once-in-50-year event, the results, which were originally scheduled for July to September, have been delayed by two months.

Ye Feng stepped forward and counted; there were now only 8 fruits left on the two fruit trees combined.

You should know that this golden fruit tree can produce seventy or eighty fruits during its fruiting period.

He looked at Tang Weiwei and the other two in disbelief.

"You three have quite the appetite! Over a hundred fruits and only 8 are left?"

"Each one of these weighs only three or four hundred grams. I can eat fifteen a day by myself, which is not enough at all."

As Zhan Pengwu spoke, he licked his lips, his eyes unconsciously drifting towards the fruit trees.

Ye Feng suddenly remembered that this golden fruit not only has high nutritional value, but also has medicinal value in clearing heat and detoxifying, and reducing swelling.

Where did you throw away the food scraps?

Zhan Pengwu pointed to the side…

The campsite of Tang Weiwei and her two companions was located in the woods a dozen meters away from the fruit trees.

A treehouse so simple it couldn't be simpler, only about seven or eight square meters.

Below are some dried-out black fruit peels.

The treehouse was built using the conventional grafting method, just like the platform where we rested last night.

The wall was constructed from a series of uneven wooden sticks bound together.

The details are very rough, and there are even holes the size of a fist.

It offers neither wind nor rain protection, and it doesn't keep out insects either.

Having grown accustomed to living in upscale treehouses, Ye Feng and his companions couldn't help but show a hint of disdain on their faces.

It's hard to imagine that Tang Weiwei and her two companions actually planned to stay in this shelter until the end of the game.

"No wonder Zhan Pengfei wanted to learn how to build a treehouse from me; it turns out he also disliked it."

Tang Weiwei and Zhan Pengwu are alright at fighting, but when it comes to construction, they might not even be as good as Liu Sisi.

Ye Feng silently complained in his heart, but his expression quickly returned to normal.

"Let's get started, it's almost ten o'clock now."

Tang Weiwei nodded and looked at Zhan Pengwu.

"Awu, go and start the fire first."

After saying that, Zhan Pengwu took out two wooden sticks from his bag. One of them was quite thick, about the size of a wrist, and had three black holes in it.

The other stick was half the size, shaped like a pendant, but not very sharp.

Ye Feng was slightly surprised, because he could tell at a glance that they used a tool for starting a fire by friction.

He never expected that such a primitive method of starting a fire would come from the sixth-ranked person on the list.

Ye Feng had never used this method since he entered the game; it was simply too outdated.

It turns out that people who practice martial arts are generally not very educated.

"Hey hey hey... I have an easier way to start a fire without rubbing sticks together."

Tang Weiwei asked with some anticipation:

"Do you have a lighter?"

Yes, Ye Feng did have it, but he didn't say it out loud.

"Let me teach you a faster way to start a fire."

After saying that, he climbed up the treehouse, and Tang Weiwei and Zhan Pengwu followed.

Every time they rubbed wood to make fire, their palms would get raw and sore. It was painful, and it wasted a lot of time.

Ye Feng took out a battery and explained the principle while demonstrating it.

When the familiar short circuit sparked a flame that bounced onto the foam, he blew on it a few times, and the flame rose...

"Hey! It actually worked!"

"My goodness, is this the power of knowledge? It's amazing!"

What Ye Feng considered a trivial skill surprised both of them.

Tang Weiwei even showed a rare, joyful smile, as if she had discovered a new continent.

He does know some wilderness survival skills, but this method of starting a fire involves physics.

Just as Ye Feng had thought, his academic performance was indeed poor.

Liu Sisi grinned and poked Tang Weiwei with her finger, her tone playful.

"Brother Tang, so you can laugh? How come? Have you learned how?"

"cough!"

Tang Weiwei immediately straightened her face and coughed awkwardly.

"Hey, Wu, come with me to work."

The two immediately turned around and left the treehouse.

"Wow... Brother Feng, this guy is so arrogant."

Ye Feng smiled knowingly…

"Experts... all capable people are like this, it's normal."

Zhan Pengfei, clutching his chest, stepped forward and explained:

"Brother Feng, Brother Dawei is actually a very good person, he's just a little strange in personality."

Let me tell you, I talked to Brother Dawei yesterday after I got injured, about having him join your team.

He replied that to give him orders, one had to earn his complete respect.

"oh?"

Ye Feng raised an eyebrow, intrigued.

"How can you make them truly convinced?"

Zhan Pengfei continued...

He said...either defeat him fair and square, or keep him alive until the end.

If a team leader doesn't have real skills, what gives them the right to boss him around?

Actually, he was already interested when I told him that he was the leader of this team.

After all, you're number one, and you're Chinese. Right now... he's probably observing whether you're qualified to be the leader.

"If he respects you, my brother will definitely respect you too."

"I see..."

Ye Feng nodded thoughtfully.

If it comes to fighting, even five of us probably couldn't beat Tang Weiwei.

But when it comes to survival skills, it's not difficult to convince the other party.

Ye Feng didn't actually want to be a boss. Every day when he opened his eyes, he had to consider the survival of everyone.

Food crisis, life crisis, this position is actually a very tiring job.

He would be very willing to give up his position if there was someone on the team who could do it better than him.

Unfortunately, no one did. Everyone in the team had a different personality and strengths, but he was the only one who could guide them in the right direction…

Moreover, in this game and in this environment, the worst thing for a team is a lack of unity.

Otherwise, they would end up like Clayvin's team, with such high combat strength on paper, yet suffering a complete annihilation in a surprise attack.

"Looks like I'll have to put in a lot more effort. Oh well... let's get down to business first."

After lighting a large fire, he set up a pot, poured in water, and rummaged through Zhan Pengfei's bag to find all the herbs.

It took him a few minutes to select about ten herbs that looked similar to dandelions.

Drunken horse grass —

Also known as the "heartbreak grass"...

Small doses may not be very harmful to humans, but if used on livestock, it is equivalent to a drug that can seduce them.

Even horses will collapse quickly after accidentally eating it, just like when they are drunk, hence the name "horse stumbles".
