Upon hearing Cheng Haojun's voice, he couldn't help but clench his fists and angrily replied:

"If you want to surrender now, I can give you a chance to kill only you!"

Cheng Haojun was taken aback at first, then burst into laughter...

"Brother Ye Feng, you probably haven't grasped the situation yet. Now it's my turn to give you a chance."

Okay, I'll let all your friends leave, you can stay.

"Hehehe..." Ye Feng couldn't help but sneer. He was in the lead, and this guy was actually giving him a chance?

Is he genuinely stupid, or does he think I'm stupid?

"Cheng Haojun, you only know that you have injuries on your face, but you didn't expect that you also have injuries on your head."

You don't really think you can kill us today, do you? On the contrary, I think none of you will escape.

"Give me another chance? What makes you think you can?!"

"Hmph..." Cheng Haojun sneered, seemingly having already anticipated Ye Feng's response.

"Your friends probably won't last long before you kill us all."

Take a good look at their current state.

Upon hearing this, Ye Feng seemed to remember something and immediately looked at Tang Weiwei and Zhan Pengwu not far away.

I thought they were in good physical condition, so being shot in the hands and feet shouldn't be a big problem.

But Tang Weiwei was already unconscious, and Zhan Pengwu's face was deathly pale...

He couldn't even draw his bow... He looked listless and dejected.

Both men's gray sleeves and leggings were stained red, and the wounds plugged by arrows were still bleeding.

This scene surprised Ye Feng, who widened his eyes in astonishment.

Logically speaking, unless an artery is hit, it is impossible for blood to flow uncontrollably.

When making the fish scale armor for the two of them, he clearly covered all the arteries...

The opponent only had a recurve bow, and the arrow was shot at himself. Moreover, the wooden bow's arrow wouldn't penetrate too deeply into the flesh. How could this happen?

Ye Feng frowned. At that moment, the first thing that came to his mind was...poison.

Only toxins can keep a shallow wound bleeding.

But then I thought, that didn't make sense. The rain was quite heavy; if the arrowheads were poisoned before shooting, the rainwater should have diluted it...

Just as he was racking his brains trying to figure it out, Cheng Haojun spoke again, as if he knew the reason for Ye Feng's silence.

"What? As the king of the jungle, aren't you supposed to be good at using poison? Can't you even understand this?"

At this point, he gave a cold laugh.

"It's not your fault, after all, what I used... couldn't exactly be considered a poison..."

To tell you the truth, that's bat saliva.

"If it weren't for the rain today preventing the use of other poisons, you wouldn't just be three wounded people now!"

Upon hearing this, Ye Feng, who had already encountered bats, instantly understood, and four words slipped out...

"Anticoagulants!?"

“That’s right!” Cheng Haojun’s laughter became even more unrestrained.

They have been making many preparations these past few days in order to hunt down Ye Feng.

However, considering that it is currently the rainy season and rain could come at any time.

Any snake venom or plant toxins will evaporate quickly after being exposed to air.

So he caught a few vampire bats, collected their saliva, and soaked them in arrows for several nights.

After the saliva dries, a thin film of saliva will form on the arrow.

In the short term, the amount of moisture lost due to rain impact will not evaporate much.

This membrane contains the anticoagulant from the saliva of vampire bats.

Even a small wound will bleed profusely, let alone an arrow wound.

"Ye Feng, I know you are a loyal and righteous person, and you are unwilling to risk your brothers' lives."

However, excessive blood loss weakens the immune system, and with the rain and the unseen bacteria and parasites in the jungle, the situation becomes even more challenging.

If you keep dragging this on with me, you should know better than me what will happen to your brothers, right?

Ye Feng remained silent, only clenching his fists with a gloomy expression.

He certainly knew what the consequences would be; Tang Weiwei and Zhan Pengwu were both alright.

If the bleeding is stopped now and the patient rests for a period of time, the patient can still survive.

However, Fu Changxiong had injured his spine and had already fainted.

Even with temporary rescue efforts, the probability of death would greatly increase if the person continued to be exposed to rain in this environment.

Therefore, it is imperative to evacuate the wounded as soon as possible.

"Just tell me, what do you want?"

Upon hearing this, Cheng Haojun knew that his guess was indeed correct; Ye Feng was ultimately unwilling to let his brothers die like this.

In that case... my next step will be much easier to implement.

"It's simple. I can let your men take your wounded brothers and leave first, and I won't lay a hand on them. But the condition is that you stay."

"No way!" Before Ye Feng could even say anything, Liu Sisi and Qi Xiaoyan both refused at the same time.

They knew perfectly well the intention behind Cheng Haojun's words.

Ye Feng is the core of the team. If Ye Feng is left alone here, even if he has a lot of life-saving equipment, he will never be able to escape the pursuit of the five mercenaries.

This is equivalent to using Ye Feng's life to temporarily exchange for everyone's safety.

"Brother Feng, you can't agree to him! If you die, we can't fight him."

"Yeah, Brother Feng, any of us can get into trouble, but you can't!"

Qi Xiaojie and Zhan Pengfei also shook their heads repeatedly at Ye Feng.

"Feng... Brother Feng, don't be afraid, I... we'll fight! Just... charge... charge over... and we'll... finish it in a few moves."

"They can't even fight back, we'll handle it quickly, no problem."

......

Hearing what everyone was saying, Zhan Pengwu also braced himself against the ground and struggled to pick up the spiked club.

"Brother, don't worry about us. I've been a Buddhist since I was young, and I'm protected by all the gods and Buddhas. I won't die."

"Let's just deal with them directly. I'll handle Cheng Haojun."

Looking at the expressions of defiance on everyone's faces, Ye Feng was momentarily caught in a dilemma.

Although it seemed like he had a chance of winning, he knew very well that he didn't.

The only reason they were able to suppress Cheng Haojun and his group was because they had enough arrows and good weapons.

However, killing them with bows and arrows was very difficult, especially since three wounded men had to be guarded.

Once the arrows are used up and Little Stutterer's fruit is exhausted, Cheng Haojun and his group of five will definitely choose to engage in close combat.

Now Zhan Pengwu only has one hand, and Tang Weiwei and Fu Changxiong are unconscious. In close combat, none of them are a match for one of the five opponents.

If they try to escape with the wounded, the enemy will definitely give chase.

By then... I'm afraid not a single one of them will be able to leave.

Just then, Cheng Haojun's voice came again.

"Zhan Pengwu, I know you're a good fighter. You guys want to go straight into close combat with me, right?"

"Okay... then let's both put down our bows, and I'll play however you want."

In his current state, Zhan Pengwu is probably strong enough to be easily defeated by Bai Ying. He wouldn't refuse such an opportunity to gain an advantage.
