The final finishing touches were to tie long, narrow pieces of wood onto the frame one by one as supports.

As for the roof tiles, they were made of palm leaves, banana leaves, fan leaves, moss...

There are also a whole bunch of other plant leaves, which can all be used to block the rain and are perfect for making roof tiles.

The Amazon has no shortage of these plants; you could find them even with your eyes closed…

The idea was simple, but when it came to actually doing it, Ye Feng immediately realized how difficult it was.

Putting everything else aside, just the task of chiseling the notch alone had already left him drenched in sweat…

As the main support for the treehouse, if he accidentally cracks or breaks the tree... then everything will be over.

Ye Feng had never been involved in carpentry before, and his limited knowledge of construction was something he was learning gradually.

Therefore, he was extremely careful with every chisel stroke in this job with a very low margin for error.

We have no choice but to sacrifice efficiency to achieve quality...

While the three of them were busy with their own tasks, they didn't notice...

Hidden in the weeds across the pond were two figures... Lu Li and Chen Xianyong...

They actually found this place more than an hour ago…

When I saw Fu Changxiong dissecting a wild boar by the pond, my mouth watered...

The two immediately prepared to rush out to kill and steal the pig, since such high-calorie and filling food was very rare.

But just then, a dead jaguar suddenly rolled down the mountain...

Immediately afterwards, Ye Feng and Qi Xiaojie also came into view.

When Chen Xianyong saw the compound bow in Ye Feng's hand, he decided to wait and see.

This watch lasted for more than an hour…

"Brother Yong, what are we waiting for? Let's go! That pig and tiger should be enough for us to eat for at least a week."

We'll sneak around downstream and, when that big guy isn't looking, kill him with one slash.

Once he's down, we can easily take care of the other two kids, right?

"A compound bow! If we had that weapon, we could hunt pigs to eat every day!"

"Shut up!"

Chen Xianyong gave a soft shout…

"What? You can use a compound bow? You're an accurate shooter? You know where wild boars are? Their habits, their habitats, you know all that?"

Lu Li looked troubled and shook his head…

Chen Xianyong poked his head hard with his finger...

"Can't you use your brain?! You can't do anything and know nothing except how to kill people, all you want to do is eat pork every day?"

Do you remember what I said last night? What we lack now is a professional survival expert.

Without such talent, even with a plethora of tools, one would certainly not survive.

Have you forgotten that you were bitten by ants last night? Have you forgotten that you were bitten by centipedes and bats the day before yesterday?

"If it weren't for antibiotics and anti-inflammatory drugs, tell me, how many times would we have died these past few days?"

Lu Li scratched his head. It turned out that just last night, after they killed that couple…

On the way back, I accidentally stepped on a swarm of red imported fire ants...

As a result, they were immediately attacked by a swarm of ants, and both of them suffered multiple bites on their ankles.

Even after using the first aid kit, both of them still have itchy and painful ankles.

The thought of those countless red ants sent a chill down Lu Li's spine...

"But...this big guy looks kind of dumb, is he really a survival expert? And will they let us join them?"

Chen Xianyong paused, his gaze lingering on Ye Feng…

"Neither the big guy nor the guy with glasses is the boss. The one who makes the decisions in this team is probably the kid who's fixing the roof."

Lu Li took a closer look...

"You look very young, is that really true?"

"I've been watching for a long time; building a shelter is a technical job."

We fiddled with it for two or three days and still couldn't figure it out, but this kid did it like a pro, looking very professional.

Besides, the place he found has mountains, water, waterfalls, abundant resources, and the potential to hunt wild boars and jaguars—it must be the right place.

Lu Li asked:

"What if he doesn't agree to us joining?"

"snort!"

Chen Xianyong snorted coldly…

"That means you're going to have to suffer the consequences if you don't listen to reason. You'll have to watch my signals later. If a fight really breaks out..."

I'll handle the big guy. You just need to keep an eye on the young man and make sure he doesn't get his hands on the compound bow; that thing is incredibly powerful…

As for that little bespectacled guy, he doesn't seem like a threat at all; we'll deal with him later…”

"good!"

Lu Li nodded, and after a brief discussion, the two immediately stepped out of the bushes and jumped into the pond in a few steps…

With a "plop," Fu Changxiong and Qi Xiaojie, who were dealing with the wild boar carcass, immediately noticed the two men...

When Fu Changxiong saw Lu Li's blond hair, he instantly recalled...

The grotesque look on his face as he brutally smashed the middle-aged man to death with a stone.

He immediately raised his Nepalese kukri and pointed it at the two men…

"Stop right there! How did you two find this place?! What are you doing here?!"

Upon hearing this, the two stopped in their tracks…

Chen Xianyong revealed a conciliatory smile…

"Hehe, brother, we're just challengers in this game, passing by. We mean you no harm..."

"snort…"

Fu Changxiong curled his lip...

"You two dared to kill and steal tools on the very first day, and you actually say there was no malicious intent?"

Chen Xianyong's face twitched slightly... How did this big man know that he had done this?

After a brief moment of stunned silence, he still managed a smile...

"Brother, you've got it wrong. We're all good people. How about we sit down and talk? The water's pretty cold..."

As he spoke, he took two steps forward…

"stop!"

Fu Changxiong shouted loudly…

"Stop pretending with me! I was watching from dozens of meters away when you two killed that person on the first day."

A good person? What kind of good person dyes their hair blonde and gets a full-sleeve tattoo?

I'm warning you, I'm not that kid who you two can kill with stones.

My knife was just sharpened; it'll leave a cut right where it touches flesh. If either of you dares to come any closer, I'll chop you both up!

Upon hearing this, Qi Xiaojie naturally understood, and quickly picked up two pebbles to wipe the water droplets off his glasses…

"You...you...don't...don't come any closer! I'll throw, I'll throw stones, and I'll be very...very accurate!"

Upon seeing this, Chen Xianyong's smile froze slightly. He hadn't expected that there was actually a fourth person present on the first day of the murders...

They were still some distance from Fu Changxiong and his companion, so making a move now was definitely out of the question. Therefore, he gave Lu Li a meaningful look…

Lu Li instantly understood; the pond's water level was up to their waists, and they should take this opportunity…

Lu Li gently pushed off with the sole of his foot, shoveling a pile of river mud onto the back of his foot, then slowly grasped it in his hand…

The smile on Chen Xianyong's face gradually faded; he stopped pretending…

"Yes, we killed people, but so what?"
