"Nonsense, freedom and money are right in front of me, I'm not going to hand them over to that guy Cairnster."

"Go ahead and keep watch at the intersection. If you see Ye Feng and the others, come back immediately to report."

Out of reason, Barn wanted to try to persuade him again, but once greed takes hold, it's not so easy to be rational.

He, too, longed for money and freedom.

"good!"

After responding, he returned the way he came.

Horford stroked his smooth, bald head, his eyes flashing with an even sharper ruthlessness.

He wasn't acting on impulse; it was simply because the opportunity was rare.

They are not without a chance of winning.

With 7 against 8, and Ye Feng's team having two women, they still have the overall advantage in combat strength.

Although the enemy has more weapons, we have no intention of engaging them head-on.

Moreover, this place is extremely easy to ambush; they spent an entire afternoon exploring it and are already very familiar with the terrain.

Even if you can't win, you can always run away immediately.

As for Ye Feng's two howling monkeys, the sky was dark and the green leaves of the plants around here provided cover.

Howler monkeys will have their eyesight and sense of smell greatly reduced, so if they hide well, they may not be able to detect them.

Moreover, as it got dark, the other party must have assumed that I was going to leave.

After all, the Amazon at night can be quite terrifying.

At this point, doing the opposite of what is expected could very well catch the other party off guard.

There is great potential in lying in ambush.

A few minutes later, Samperm and Watanabe arrived at the scene from different directions.

They also tied a lot of plant leaves to their bodies, so their ambush was quite thorough.

It was clear that all of them cherished this hard-won opportunity.

"What's going on!?"

"Ye Feng has been found!?"

The two couldn't wait to ask.

Horford then briefly recounted Barn's previous experience.

After listening, both of them felt that the ambush might not be able to be carried out today.

But Horford didn't take it to heart and spoke his mind.

"We'll ambush them here, and it would be best if we could kill them all in one fell swoop."

"When the time comes, follow my orders. Watanabe will be responsible for shooting Zhan Pengwu, and Ye Feng will be left to me."

He killed Cody, and then he killed three of my brothers. I must avenge him!

Watanabe frowned; he knew perfectly well what the other party was planning.

They're all ancient foxes, why are they playing at some kind of ghost story?

This is clearly a case of wanting to keep ten million for themselves, yet using revenge for their brother as an excuse. Utterly hypocritical…

"Brother, what Chou Chou said was that whoever kills Ye Feng gets ten million. You're trying to keep it all to yourself, isn't that a bad idea? We're all in the same boat... uh!"

Before he could finish speaking, Horford's machete was pressed against his neck.

The speed was so fast that he didn't even have time to react.

“Listen to me carefully, you Zhipan people have no right to bargain with us Merrick people. You are nothing more than our dogs.”

Without us, do you three think you can kill Ye Feng? Hmph, you should be grateful you're not killed by him.

You still dare to dream of that ten million? Do you deserve it? Do you all deserve it?

Remember, this opportunity is given to you by me. If you can get a share of the prize pool, you should be secretly happy.

Make sure you know who's in charge, and don't be ungrateful!

Upon hearing this, both Yamashita and Hisato glared angrily at Horford.

As a warrior of the Dazhipan Empire, this was incredibly frustrating.

They all wanted to draw their swords, and Sempem and Peller placed their hands on the hilts.

The atmosphere between the two sides suddenly became tense and hostile.

Seeing that internal strife was about to break out, Watanabe quickly stopped Hisato and Yamashita.

Horford's words, though extremely insulting, are also an undeniable fact.

There's no way around it; at any time, only those with real ability deserve a voice.

If you can't beat someone, you can only shut up. Besides, in the matter of killing Ye Feng, the other party did put in more effort than you.

After thinking it over, he forced a flattering smile.

"Okay, okay, you're right, the amount in the prize pool is enough for us."

"Well... I'll leave everything to you, brother. But Ye Feng is a very clever kid, so you'd better be careful."

"snort!"

Horford withdrew his knife and snorted coldly.

"Thank you for your concern. I have a backup plan if I fail. You should worry about yourself. If you drag your team down, I won't be responsible for you."

As soon as he finished speaking, Barn's figure staggered over from a distance...

"They, at most, still... have 200 meters left."

He was panting heavily, pointing to the woods in the distance…

Horford's expression instantly turned serious, and he immediately waved to the crowd.

"Everyone! Money and freedom are coming soon!"

Once you've killed them, you can grab a bunch of knives, board a plane back home, and enjoy luxury cars, beautiful women, and fine wine.

"Everyone, get ready! Take cover!"

After saying that, everyone seemed to have found a source of great excitement, and quickly climbed up the small hill and disappeared into the dense vegetation.

More than 150 meters away, Ye Feng and his companions, holding bows and arrows, strode quickly toward them.

It should be around 5:30 now, even though the sunlight is quite nice today.

However, due to the obscuring effect of the leaves, the forest has been shrouded in a black veil.

It looks like it's around 6 a.m. on a summer day.

With your eyes alone, you can only see some specific things.

The details were much worse; for example, the types of plants or some small flying insects were not clearly visible to the general public.

All the plants and animals in the forest seemed to have turned a pale black.

Some insects made chirping, rustling, and crawling sounds as they flew.

It seems like they can't wait for the nighttime party to start!

Along the way, Ye Feng and his companions passed through safely without finding any trace of human activity.

Now, they are less than a kilometer away from the camp.

"Ye Feng, Horford must have run away with Brother Ni, right? It's almost nightfall, they can't still be lying in ambush on us, can they?"

"uncertain."

Ye Feng continued walking cautiously. If it were before, he would have probably thought that the other party had already retreated.

Having spent nearly two months in the Amazon, Horford couldn't possibly be unaware of how dangerous the nights are there.

But now, Ye Feng dared not relax in the slightest.

He and his companions together had nearly 14 million, oh no... to be precise, it should be 40 million.

This isn't the kind of empty promise you get after killing someone and surviving to the end.

Instead, he could get it immediately by killing all eight of his own.

Such tempting conditions are enough to make anyone willing to take any risk.

Because there is never a shortage of people in this world who would rather risk their lives than keep their money. If it were me, I would most likely gamble too.

"Don't let your guard down! Have you forgotten how Horford ambushed you last time!?"

He's a former Marine, and his men are all highly skilled militarily; we can't afford to be careless!
