Meanwhile, Horford and his men, hidden among the vegetation, had their arrows nocked and were ready to fire.

Suddenly, a figure threw something that looked like a rope up.

It landed right in front of Peter, who was lying on the ground.

At first, he didn't understand what it was, but when he saw the brown snake eyes meet his, his pupils suddenly contracted.

"Damn it!?"

Having lived in the Amazon for so long, and having eaten countless venomous snakes, how could he not recognize it as an armored viper?

Once bitten, death is inevitable.

Although the snake only glanced at him and seemed to have no intention of attacking.

Although he knew this was a test by Ye Feng and his group, he wasn't sure if there were any people in the vegetation.

But instinctively, he quickly shrank back.

But in that instant, his foot touched a large plant behind him, making a slight sound.

"Hold!"

Ye Feng cursed under his breath. Snakes are known for being extremely quiet; how could they possibly make a sound from a plant as tall as a person?

There are definitely people inside!

He quickly lowered his head and ran back towards his teammates...

"Fuck! Do it!"

He hadn't run more than a few steps when Horford's angry roar came from above and behind him.

Immediately afterwards, the seven men, with two recurve bows and five wooden bows, all aimed at the running figure that was almost blending into the darkness.

"Whoosh whoosh!"

After a brief rustling sound lasting less than a second, Ye Feng felt a whooshing sound next to his ear.

Something clearly flew by...

Then, a white wooden arrow appeared in front of him.

Before he could even use the S-shaped running method, he suddenly felt a slight touch on his back.

However, he didn't have time to stop and check, and continued running as fast as he could.

His companions also launched a counterattack in an instant, providing cover for Ye Feng.

"Whoosh whoosh!"

In the dark forest, flying objects collided with each other, their sounds of flying objects cutting through the air constantly filling the air.

Both sides shoot an arrow and then disappear, as if playing a turn-based game.

But the sky was too dark, and the distance was several dozen meters.

After a round of shooting, neither side suffered any casualties.

Ye Feng also returned to his companions at this time.

They are currently positioned on the lower right side of the earthen slope, which is a blind spot for firing.

Ye Feng pulled the arrow from his backpack and quickly stopped the others who were about to change arrows and continue shooting.

"It's useless! Stop shooting, it's just a waste of arrows."

Upon hearing this, the group stopped what they were doing and squatted down beside him.

"Hey, old man, throw away your thunder!"

Tang Weiwei cursed in frustration...

"What should we do? They're on the slope; we can't get close at all."

Ye Feng gritted his teeth, feeling both angry and secretly relieved.

Fortunately, I was cautious enough; otherwise, even with their scale armor, my companions would have been wounded or even killed by this volley of arrows.

The enemy now occupies a favorable position, and with the cover of night and vegetation, my equipment is completely useless.

He touched the wooden arrow in his hand, and suddenly, he felt a dampness at the tip of the arrow.

Seeing that Ye Feng remained silent for a long time, Zhan Pengwu volunteered.

"Hey buddy, let me just go around to the back. I've fought that bastard Horford before."

"As long as I get close, taking him down will be a piece of cake."

After saying that, he got up and prepared to leave.

"no!"

Ye Feng decisively stopped them and presented the wooden arrow in his hand to everyone.

"This arrow is wet; I'm certain it's coated with poison! You can't get close to them at all."

"If you even get a scratch, you're dead!"

Ye Feng did want to kill Horford, but he wouldn't use his companion's life to achieve that goal.

He wanted to defeat his opponent without taking any damage...

"Oh dear, what should we do? We can't just let this bastard keep shooting us like rabbits, can we?!"

Upon hearing this, Ye Feng stroked his beard and began to ponder.

The other party wanted to kill him, and he wanted to kill the other party in return.

The current situation is clearly in Horford's favor. They can use the vegetation as cover, shoot an arrow, disappear into the vegetation, and then change positions.

Since they couldn't track the opponent's movements at all, their arrows naturally couldn't hit the target.

Therefore, the only way to kill them is to force them to show themselves.

Thinking of this, a cruel sneer curled at the corner of his mouth.

"Hmph! He may have his clever plans, but I have my countermeasures! These damned Ni brothers."

Do you really think I can't do anything to them just because they're hiding in the shadows?

I've prepared all these tools just for this day.

Nobita! Take out the rattle box tree.

"Sisi! Take out all the masks and wet them! I'm going to show these Ni brothers what real drug dealing is all about!"

The two immediately understood what Ye Feng wanted to do and quickly took things out of their bags.

Several days before his departure, Ye Feng had made ample preparations, which was his usual practice.

The branches of the Echoing Box Tree have been dried out and turned into withered branches.

The face mask was made by Liu Sisi using pigskin and the cloth from the dead.

Although it's a bit rudimentary, it's definitely fine if there's no smoke for a short period of time.

A moment later, all eight people put on their wet masks, and then Ye Feng took out the cannonball fruit juice he had collected that day.

I poured some of it on one end of the trunk of the box tree.

"Thump!"

The flip-top lighter made a crisp, bright sound, and the tree trunk was ignited almost instantly when the flame touched the juice.

"In a moment, I, Little Stutterer, and Da Xiong will be in charge of throwing, while the rest of you will hold up the bags to provide cover."

Remember, after you throw the items, find somewhere to hide and wait for the shooting! Understand?

"clear!"

Everyone agreed in unison.

Ye Feng glanced sideways at the top of the earthen slope not far away, where he could still vaguely see some slightly swaying plants.

It's obvious the enemy hasn't retreated yet...

"Looks like you're really here for the big prize. Very well, you like freedom, then this time I'll give you complete freedom."

Thinking about this, Ye Feng suddenly realized that relying solely on poisonous smoke might not be enough...

He then took out all the containers that contained the poison.

It contains highly toxic liquids such as snake venom, arrow poison tree sap, and sap from the 'Soundbox Tree' and guava tree collected along the way.

Each one of them, taken individually, could be described as deadly and extremely poisonous...

"Come on! Those who use arrows, coat all your arrows with poison, a little of everything. In a moment, we don't need to shoot vital areas, just a scratch will be enough to finish them off!"

By this time, Horford and the others on the earthen slope had already stopped firing arrows.

Just as Ye Feng had expected, they had no intention of retreating.

There's no way around it; when the profit is right, people become incredibly bold.

Moreover, they seem to have the upper hand for the time being, and even if Ye Feng and his companions possess many good weapons, they have no way to deal with them.

But that's not what Horford wants...
