When he finished speaking, Cairnst's smile had somehow vanished.

He heard the words "poisonous smoke," "toxins," and "venomous snakes"—three words that were somewhat familiar yet puzzling.

As a special forces soldier who has entered and exited the Amazon more than twenty times, he is naturally very familiar with the poisonous plants here.

However, he also knew that poison, without the aid of modern tools, was definitely a double-edged sword.

If you are even slightly distracted when using poison, or if you don't follow the precautions correctly...

It's very likely that you'll be poisoned before you even poison anyone else.

This guy named Ye Feng actually dared to carry several different toxins at the same time, and even a live venomous snake.

Is it a case of exceptional skill and daring, or simply a reckless fool?

Cairnster's expression gradually turned serious, and he couldn't help but re-examine Ye Feng, this young upstart.

The person who can surpass me and become number one on the leaderboard is indeed extraordinary.

He wiped the rain off his face…

"Let's go find a place to take shelter from the rain first, and then tell me in detail everything you know."

4 PM —

Ye Feng and his group returned to the camp an hour ago.

Everyone was busy upstream of the stone stream at that moment.

Horford's treehouse brought them no reward.

After climbing up and looking around for a while, Ye Feng left with Zhan Pengwu and Fu Changxiong.

However, he never does business at a loss, so how could he let today's trip be in vain?

Although Horford left him nothing, his camp was the greatest treasure.

Ye Feng directed his men to plunder most of the resources surrounding the camp.

As we all know, places rich in resources naturally attract many small animals.

In half a day, Ye Feng caught twelve fish in the stream, the smallest of which was a red piranha, weighing three or four pounds.

The largest one was an immature giant carp, weighing about 30 to 40 pounds.

The total weight of all the fish was nearly 200 jin (100 kg), which is quite a haul.

Tang Weiwei and Liu Sisi were also busy.

The four nut trees were completely harvested, and during this time, Tang Weiwei also discovered three rat holes nearby.

They successfully captured 6 guinea pigs, including a family of two baby guinea pigs.

And five rather large parrots…

They are processing this meat right now.

Ye Feng's idea was that since there was no way to find the enemy, the only thing to do was to wait and see.

To use stillness to control movement, or more accurately, to rely on surviving...

Their only support now is this safe treehouse.

If you stay indoors, you won't be ambushed. You can wait for the enemy to attack before launching a counterattack.

In fact, he also hated this feeling of not being able to take the initiative.

But this is also the only best option to save one's life at present.

"Ye Feng, that guy Cairnster should have arrived by now, right?"

Tang Weiwei, who was standing to the side, kept looking around warily.

Having been ambushed multiple times, he remained vigilant even near the camp.

"Um."

Ye Feng frowned and nodded helplessly.

"They've not only arrived, they might be watching us from somewhere."

Tang Weiwei raised an eyebrow and subconsciously took out her compound bow, her eyes scanning the nearby woods.

Seeing his tense expression, Ye Feng smiled and patted his arm, signaling him to put down the bow.

"Don't worry, even if he's nearby, he would never attack us today."

And I estimate that it won't happen for the next two days either.

"Why!?"

"snort…"

Ye Feng chuckled coldly and slowly raised his watch. It displayed a photo of Cairnst and his brief information.

Ye Feng took this person very seriously, after all, he was his biggest enemy. He had memorized every single word in the information about him.

"This guy is a special forces soldier; caution is in his nature."

Horford will definitely meet up with him to discuss how to kill us.

After all, they couldn't possibly give up the big prize and freedom.

Once he learns about my information, he will realize that I am also a cautious person.

I'll definitely be on high alert these next couple of days. What if they come to kill me now...?

They'd rather charge into our camp and kill me; the success rate and difficulty are both too high. Only a fool would do something like that.

So, everyone, don't be too tense right now, because the time to be tense is when we're most relaxed.

"Huh..."

Upon hearing this, Zhan Pengwu smiled with admiration and took over the conversation.

"Dude...you've never even met Kainerst, yet you can figure out what he's up to?"

"Not really..."

Ye Feng shook his head.

"Because if I were him, I would definitely do the same."

If you put yourself in someone else's shoes, the outcome isn't hard to guess.

However, don't let your guard down too much; you still need to be vigilant... especially after leaving the house.

Special forces soldiers love nothing more than surprise attacks. In this respect, Cairnster is definitely far more professional than Horford.

Hearing this, Tang Weiwei was still somewhat worried...

"How can I stay indoors all the time? What if I need to poop or pee? What if I run out of food?"

I think we should split into groups and patrol the area. That way, at least we can ensure the safety of the camp.

Zhan Pengwu nodded in agreement repeatedly…

"Hey, Vi is right, staying indoors all the time will be suffocating."

"What if someone launches a sneak attack while we're sleeping if there aren't any guards on duty?"

"Absolutely not!"

Ye Feng rejected their suggestion without hesitation.

"Haven't you two watched TV dramas? Usually, when the enemy ambushes from the shadows, the sentries are always the first to die."

Hidden in a dark corner, they were shot down with a single arrow, dying without even knowing how they died.

You need to understand, what we're fighting against now isn't wild beasts, but highly intelligent humans—an elite squad comprised of top-tier special forces soldiers. They even outnumber us…

Separating at this point would weaken our overall strength. Don't forget, we are in the open.

Every move they make could be monitored by them at any time.

Cairnster is hoping we'll split up so he can take us down one by one.

Besides, if you two were really good at keeping watch, how come you've been ambushed so many times?

"this……"

The two were speechless for a moment, too embarrassed to even look Ye Feng in the eye.

It makes sense, considering that Horford's sneak attack almost cost them both their lives.

But now they are facing a special forces king who is even stronger than Horford.

"You two shouldn't think about anything else. Mao Mao and Da Wang will be in charge of keeping watch."

Our five senses are far inferior to them. No one is more suitable for this task than them.

"Including today's food, plus the pork jerky, we can eat for at least another two weeks."

At this point, Ye Feng looked at the group of people who were still gutting fish and washing nuts.

"Keep everything edible. Next, we'll have to test our patience against that elite soldier."
