Not long after they walked, Zhan Pengwu suddenly felt himself step on something.

That soft, chewy texture felt like a pile of clay, or a long piece of poop.

He immediately realized that such a sensation could only come from a snake.

"Sizzle!"

Before I could even react, a snake hissed.

"Oh dear!"

Zhan Pengwu suddenly felt a sensation on his calf and quickly withdrew his foot.

Everyone immediately stopped. Ye Feng turned around and saw that it was a rather large armored viper.

"Holy crap, Monk Zhan, don't tell me you got bitten!?"

Ye Feng stepped on the snake's head, and everyone looked at Zhan Pengwu.

These are highly venomous snakes, and they don't have antivenom. If they get bitten, they can only find a shady place to prevent their bodies from rotting.

"Awu, quickly take this and tie him up!"

As she spoke, Tang Weiwei quickly took out a rattan cane.

Judging from their anxious expressions, the two must have a good relationship.

Zhan Pengwu waved his hand, showing no sign of panic, but instead grinning.

"Hehe, it's okay, it just bit my leg strap."

Hey buddy, your gear is amazing! It saved my life!

Upon hearing this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Ye Feng felt especially fortunate.

Zhan Pengwu is the strongest fighter in the team, and he absolutely cannot be allowed to get into trouble like this.

Fortunately, he had a lot of Red River wild boar skin left over from last time.

Before setting off, they specially asked Liu Sisi to sew leg wraps and sleeves for the three of them.

Liu Sisi glanced at Zhan Pengwu and said jokingly:

"See? You were saying before that it was hot to wear and that it would get in your way when you walked. This saved your life."

"What Brother Feng is doing must have a reason, otherwise we wouldn't be alive now."

Hehehe~

Zhan Pengwu nodded with an awkward smile.

"Yes, yes, yes. But why don't these snakes run away when they see us? Aren't they usually quite timid?"

This is also what Ye Feng wanted to say. Generally speaking, snakes will move away first when they hear a loud noise.

This situation is indeed quite rare…

But when he looked down, he understood why.

The viper's belly was bulging high, clearly indicating that it had just finished eating, so it wasn't that it didn't want to run, but that it couldn't.

Ye Feng grabbed the snake by the tail and lifted it up.

"So it was because it ate too much. Well, judging from this head, it should have a lot of venom. Let's keep it for now."

As he spoke, he gestured to Fu Changxiong to take out an empty bag and put it inside.

After finishing, the group continued their journey.

"Brother Feng, those poisonous insects are about to come out and become active. Don't we have flashlights? Why don't we use them?"

Qi Xiaoyan asked worriedly…

Ye Feng kept glancing around, talking as he walked:

"First of all, our flashlights only have one bar of power left, so we have to use them sparingly."

Secondly, if there are ambushes nearby, wouldn't that be like making Horford's group a live target? And a very obvious live target at that.

We have leg wraps and sleeves, so poisonous insects generally won't come into contact with our skin.

We can't see them clearly, and they can't see us clearly either.

"Oh~"

Everyone nodded in agreement, feeling that it made sense.

But Ye Feng hasn't revealed the most important reason yet...

That means if the other person can't see your face clearly, you won't know who you are.

If you are attacked by chance, your opponent may not choose you again.

Although they were all brothers who had risked their lives for each other, Ye Feng had not yet grasped the noble virtue of sacrificing one's life to light up one's companions.

Don't talk about selfishness or not; as long as you're human, you're bound to have selfish desires.

A few minutes later, the eight people reached the hillside area.

At this moment, Horford and the others, who were hiding in the vegetation, were extremely excited.

The figures of these people were like walking US dollars; killing one person was much easier than getting a free item.

Unlike the others' excitement, Horford irritably touched his bald head.

He then realized an important problem: given the darkness and the distance, he seemed completely unable to see who was who.

Samperm, who was standing nearby, immediately noticed this as well…

"Horford, you seem to have messed up. Of these eight people, who is Ye Feng?"

"Fuck!"

Horford muttered a curse in an extremely low voice. He'd be at a huge disadvantage if someone else stole his prey.

However, the arrow is already on the bowstring and must be released. The opportunity is rare now, and we can only rely on luck.

"Forget it, who cares who's who? The game won't end until we kill them all."

At this point, he remembered that Ye Feng's profile stated his height as 182 cm. Suddenly, an idea struck him…

"Okay, you guys shoot the short ones, I'll take care of the tall ones."

Sempem nodded, then made a few strange hand gestures toward Peller and Barn, who were a few meters away.

It was clearly some kind of command gesture they used to communicate.

The two nodded, as if they understood.

Just as the eight people below were about to enter the area, Ye Feng, who was walking at the front of the group, suddenly stopped.

The forest was not quiet at dusk; the sounds of various birds and insects mingled together, adding to the eeriness of this strangely topographical forest.

Ye Feng felt a chill run down his spine on the way here.

The forest was no different from other places, but these undulating earthen slopes looked like huge earthen graves.

There are also many tall green plants growing on it.

Ye Feng is an atheist, so naturally he doesn't believe in gods or ghosts.

But humanity's greatest fears often stem from the unknown, especially now.

If there are Tibetans here, they'll be on high ground, making us easy targets.

Especially now, as long as we're not back in the treehouse, we have to be on high alert at all times.

"This place seems a bit eerie. How so? Should I go up and take a look?"

Tang Weiwei had extensive experience being ambushed; the first time she was ambushed by Horford was in a thicket.

Once bitten by a snake, he naturally realized something was wrong.

"No way! If there's an ambush, you'll become a target."

Ye Feng would not risk his life, nor would he gamble with the lives of his companions to see if there was an ambush.

He immediately took out Mao Mao and Da Wang, and pointed the two monkeys at the vegetation above the earthen slope.

The two monkeys, their little heads bobbing around, blinked their big eyes incessantly…

Several dozen seconds passed, but it still didn't make a sound.

"Looks like I was just overthinking it?"

Tang Weiwei loosened the arrow on the bowstring slightly.

"uncertain."

Ye Feng's expression remained solemn as he put the two monkeys back into his backpack.

"Howler monkeys' night vision is not much better than that of humans; at night, they mainly rely on their hearing and sense of smell."

These plants can perfectly conceal their presence; if the other party doesn't move, they might not even notice them.

"So what do we do now? We can't just stay here forever, can we?"

Ye Feng stroked his chin, and after thinking for a few seconds, he immediately took the backpack that had contained the snake.

He poured out the armored viper, stepped on its head, grabbed its tail, and began to spin it around in a wide arc with his right hand.

He quickly ran a short distance towards the earthen slope, and when he was almost there, he forcefully flicked his right hand, throwing the snake directly into the vegetation on the slope.
