Meanwhile, 7 kilometers away from Ye Feng and his group.

The 47 people had already begun to chase after them.

There were a total of 8 teams, and one of the closest teams had caught up to within 5 kilometers of them.

In the forest, a small team of six people is jogging along.

The leader was a white male, about 1.8 meters tall, with a blue composite bow hanging around his neck.

He was wearing a camouflage long-sleeved shirt, a black baseball cap, and had a long goatee that was braided.

At first glance, he looks a bit like Captain Jack Sparrow from Pirates of the Caribbean.

This person is none other than Jeros Ben, ranked eighth on the list of villains.

The five teammates following behind him, apart from Mark Cuban beside him, were all temporary members of the team.

There was nothing he could do; when Makuko called him, he only said he wanted to kill a Chinese man.

Mercenaries are also very busy. His company is short-staffed, so he brought one of his men with him this time.

When they arrived, they realized they had been tricked by the old man.

It wasn't about killing one person, it was about killing eight.

This isn't a simple killing mission; it's part of a TV show.

After learning the rules of the game, he realized that the task could not be completed by just two people.

Ye Feng and his group had been on the run and posed no threat to them.

But the same can't be said for the rest of our like-minded people.

The major mercenary companies are already rivals, and the rules of the game allow them to fight each other.

Jeros was worried about being stabbed in the back, so he gathered a few people and temporarily formed a team.

Fortunately, these people were all former soldiers or retired athletes, and their skills were quite good.

After arriving here in the afternoon, they were lucky enough to land at the very front of the pack.

So I chose the shortest route and jogged all the way here.

The production team provided each villain with leg wraps and sleeves, as well as a compound bow, five arrows, and insect repellent spray.

It's been raining for the past two days...

After traveling for more than an hour, Jeros and the others discovered the footprints left by Ye Feng and his companions.

Upon observation, it was found that there were eight different shoe prints, all heading in the northwest direction.

Therefore, it can be concluded that this must be Ye Feng and his group.

The six people had been jogging for nearly twenty minutes without stopping to rest.

They had left the other pursuers far behind.

At this moment, they were all covered in sweat and panting heavily.

"I can't take it anymore, Jeros, let's rest for a bit. If we keep running like this, I'm about to see God."

Mark was hunched over, panting heavily with his hands on his knees, waving his arms.

The four henchmen behind him were so exhausted that they knelt on the ground, as if they had participated in a marathon.

Jeros wiped the sweat from his face; he was clearly tired.

He wanted to kill Ye Feng quickly, take all the prize money, and end the game early.

They are currently in the lead, far ahead of others, and this is their best opportunity.

"I advised you to work on your physical fitness more, instead of spending all your time hanging out with women."

"Puxi will only make your legs weak, you idiot!"

"Hey!"

Mark nodded, took a few deep breaths, and managed to stand up straight.

"I earn money for this very thing, so don't get too worked up."

Even if we catch up with Ye Feng, there are still eight of them.

Have you forgotten? Even Cairnster died at his hands.

That guy was known as a special forces king; for Ye Feng to kill him without taking any damage, he must be incredibly skilled.

Upon hearing this, Jeros scoffed dismissively.

"I've watched the show. This kid was just using a little trick."

Moreover, Cairnster underestimated his opponent; otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to win so easily.

He was out in the wild now, and there was no tall treehouse to protect him anymore.

At this point, Jeros took out a water bottle and took two big gulps into his mouth.

"Let's hurry up and leave, or we'll be in danger if we run into other people."

Those beasts are all greedy people, and they even have a grudge against us.

Especially those guys from Okuga, they lost a lot of business to our company last year.

If we encounter them, they will definitely attack us directly.

All five of them are level 6 mercenaries, and that Okuga even reached level 9 this year, two levels higher than me.

With just these few men, we're no match for them.

The levels he mentioned are actually the mercenary ranking system.

This planning method existed decades ago and is now widely used.

The gist is that he's a new recruit at a mercenary company, with no outstanding achievements or honors, and his assessment results are just average—he's only at level one.

The stronger you are, the higher your rank. And naturally, your appearance fee will also increase accordingly.

Those at level 7 or above are generally considered to be elite soldiers in their respective fields.

Mark was helpless; he knew Jeros was right.

People come here for money, especially those in the same industry.

They dared to risk their lives to become mercenaries.

This shows that in the eyes of these people, money is more important than life.

Driven by enormous profits, it is highly likely that in order to eliminate dissidents and monopolize the grand prize, infighting will occur.

Human nature is most vulnerable to the test of the US dollar.

Mark kicked the four underlings who were still kneeling on the ground, panting.

"Don't fucking rest, we'll be done for if those guys catch up. Get up and keep going."

Upon hearing this, the group had no choice but to get up and continue on their way.

Jeros was in charge of reading the map, while the others were responsible for observing the footprints on the ground.

When he discovered a river three kilometers away, Gerald frowned.

It turned out that the map these villains used to hunt them down was very different from the map Ye Feng possessed.

It not only marked the locations of mountains and rivers, but also roughly indicated the distances between itself and all other regions.

This allows us to prepare in advance for potential obstacles ahead.

This is why they were able to accurately choose the shortcut and get here quickly.

In less than half an hour, the six people emerged from the woods and arrived at the peculiar "V"-shaped terrain.

It should be noted that it took Ye Feng and his group nearly an hour to get here yesterday.

The thickets of thorns on both sides were exceptionally prominent, growing wildly and intertwining with each other.

Jeros and his companions naturally couldn't walk through the thorny thicket, so they chose to walk through the grass in the middle.

The grass here isn't tall, and there are no other poisonous creatures in sight; it just looks like an ordinary meadow.

However, Gerald is a level 7 mercenary and has carried out countless jungle missions.

Most importantly, he understood Ye Feng and knew that this guy liked to play dirty tricks.

Given the perilous terrain, he had to be on guard.

So he turned his gaze to the four underlings behind him.
