Moreover, when Ye Feng was setting a trap for Henry and the others, he taught Salra some talking techniques.

In terms of learning ability, she is quite strong.

Ye Feng always felt that there would be many areas where he would need Salla's help in the future.

Therefore, in terms of language, it is essential to maintain the ability to communicate normally.

There can't be two stutterers in a team.

Ye Feng glanced at his watch; the prize pool had reached 7250, and there were still 13 pursuers left.

Open the map again, and you'll see that there are still about 22 kilometers left to go to the finish line.

But he knew that the last leg of the journey would be extremely long, because the 13 people were hiding along that route.

Although they didn't completely wipe out Henry's team today, it served as a wake-up call for him.

What is currently known is that... Okuga and Cheng Haojun will definitely prepare traps to ambush us in advance.

If I don't make any changes and just keep blindly following my own path, I'll eventually fall into their ambush.

Both teams were mercenaries, and Ye Feng naturally didn't want to fight them.

To win the game without bloodshed, it's best to avoid these people.

Therefore, I'm afraid I can no longer take this shortcut I chose.

As he walked, he pondered the most conservative and safest plan.

And just like that, three hours of travel time passed by in the blink of an eye.

It must be said that Salla truly lives up to her reputation as a child raised in the jungle.

Although she had never been to this area, she seemed to have an innate sensitivity to the environment and toxins.

You can always find and identify the better route.

Therefore, during the afternoon's journey, the group encountered far fewer venomous snakes and spiders than usual.

In that case, their travel speed naturally increased significantly.

By nearly 5 p.m., the group was about 19 kilometers away from the finish line.

They walked nearly 7 kilometers today.

Considering that they had to travel while also keeping an eye out for any pursuers lying in ambush, this result was already quite impressive.

The once bright sunlight gradually dimmed over time.

Looking up, you can see various birds flitting among the branches in the forest.

The birds had all gone home, and Ye Feng knew it was time to find a campsite to settle down.

He was just about to call out to Liu Sisi and Salla ahead when he noticed the two women suddenly stop in their tracks…

Their heads were lowered, and they stared motionlessly at the ground, as if they had discovered something.

Before he could even ask, he saw Liu Sisi waving at him.

"Brother Feng! Come quick!"

This shout drew everyone's attention...

Upon closer inspection, it was discovered that some leaves on the yellowish-brown ground were imprinted with strange mud patterns.

Everyone immediately frowned, quickly removed the bows and arrows from their necks, and turned to look around.

Because the pattern is clearly the print of some kind of shoe.

In the primeval rainforest, who else could be besides those pursuers?

"Damn it! These bastards aren't done yet!?"

Zhan Pengwu raised his eyebrows, held his spiked club behind his back, and kept scanning his surroundings from left to right.

"Get cover!"

As soon as Ye Feng finished speaking, everyone scattered instantly, and Liu Sisi quickly pulled Salla behind a tree.

At this moment, the only sounds in the forest are the sparse chirping of birds and the rustling of fallen leaves.

The nine people hid behind trees, and with tacit understanding, they began to scan everything within their sight.

But after observing for several minutes, they couldn't find a single person.

Ye Feng glanced at the sky obscured by the leaves, then stepped outside the tree trunk.

"Stop hiding, no one is lying in ambush for us."

Tang Weiwei, who was closest to him, poked her head out and kept looking around.

"are you sure?"

"Sure."

Ye Feng pointed to the sky, which was almost completely obscured by the leaves, where several birds were perched on branches and chirping…

"If there were really people, there wouldn't be so many birds."

Moreover, this forest has very little vegetation to provide cover; Cheng Haojun and Okuga aren't that foolish to choose this place for an ambush.

Hearing this, everyone came out.

Zhan Pengfei stepped forward, picked up a few leaves with shoe prints on them, and said disdainfully:

"Brother Feng, it seems you overestimated these people. Look... there are footprints on so many leaves, and there are more on the ground."

Ye Feng took the leaf and examined it carefully, feeling quite puzzled.

Logically speaking, if the other party were really that stupid, I should be happy.

But he always felt that Cheng Haojun and Okuga couldn't possibly have left so many flaws.

Even if it was intentional, it was absolutely deliberate.

Thinking of this, he bent over and started searching on the ground again, while the others followed him to keep watch.

After searching for more than ten meters, Ye Feng suddenly stopped and bent down to pick up a leaf.

His eyebrows immediately furrowed into a "川" shape.

"The other party is not the pursuer at all; there are other people in this jungle."

"ah?"

Everyone turned around, puzzled.

After seeing the pattern on the leaf in Ye Feng's hand, they were all filled with question marks.

Because there was a footprint on it.

That's right, it's the kind of footprints left when you're barefoot, your feet are covered in mud, and you step on leaves.

Human footprints are the most unique and easily distinguishable among animal footprints.

The only thing similar to it is a bear.

But there are no bears in the Amazon.

So here's the question: if it wasn't one of the pursuers, and there were patterned shoe prints, then the other person must be a modern person.

Only the most primitive indigenous people would dare to go barefoot in such a dangerous place.

The overlap of the two marks could not possibly be a coincidence; they were clearly the same group of people.

Could it be... that the hunters also had natives helping them? Like Salra now?

Everyone felt like their heads were about to explode; they just couldn't figure it out no matter how hard they tried.

After a moment, Zhan Pengwu said directly:

"How about we just go and take a look?"

Ye Feng vehemently disliked this feeling of the unknown; things... seemed to be getting more and more complicated.

He was afraid that this was another trap set for him by the other party.

Just as he was thinking this, he noticed that Salla was tilting his head and staring sharply at the leaves on the ground.

There seemed to be a faint hint of hatred in those large, dark eyes.

Ye Feng seemed to understand something. He had heard Salla say that the Baijia tribe was too backward and they went barefoot.

The straw sandals that Salla wore before were stolen when she escaped from the Shura tribe.

Perhaps, this really is a member of the Baijia tribe.

Thinking of this, Ye Feng was overjoyed...

"Salara, have you discovered something? Could these barefoot people be your people?"
