Everyone was stunned, staring at the scene below with puzzled expressions...
"Bang!...Bang!...Bang!..."
A series of violent explosions suddenly rang out...
In an instant, everyone was terrified and panicked, scrambling to run back...
After running several dozen meters, the sound completely disappeared, and only then did I finally stop…
They heard it very clearly; the sound was like someone firing a gun…
Everyone was completely baffled...
What was that sound?
"It looks... like... a gun!"
"There are people with guns in this jungle?"
"Bro, do you think the other challengers might start fighting down there?!"
Faced with everyone's questions, Ye Feng didn't know how to answer. That sound just now was indeed very strange.
It sounded like both a gunshot and a small bomb.
Could it be that there are other challengers here?
Thinking of this, his face contorted in pain, and all he wanted to do was drag the show's boss out and tear him to pieces.
I'm already in a life-or-death situation. If the others still have guns, how am I supposed to keep fighting?
After a moment of silence, he looked at Fu Changxiong…
"Da Xiong, I remember you used to be a soldier, right? Can't you tell the difference between gunshots?"
Upon hearing this, Fu Changxiong narrowed his eyes and began to ponder…
He did serve two years of military service, but that was ten years ago…
After a short while, he shook his head awkwardly...
"I really can't tell. That sound just now sounded a lot like a gunshot, but... it didn't sound exactly the same."
"What's the meaning?"
Everyone was staring at him...
"hiss……"
Fu Changxiong scratched his face, looking troubled as if he didn't know how to describe it.
"Uh... the volume is similar, but the sound of a pistol is crisper."
That sound was muffled, and a bit like a hand grenade, it was really strange. I'm not sure.
It could also be a different model of a new handgun.
Upon hearing this, Ye Feng immediately took down his bow, nocked an arrow, and slowly walked towards the source of the gunshot…
"Hey! Bro, are you out of your mind?! What if they really have guns? Aren't you just going to your death?!"
Fu Changxiong quickly came up and grabbed him...
Others quickly tried to dissuade him as well:
"Brother Feng, let's change our route. It's too dangerous going this way!"
"Yes, a wise man doesn't fight a losing battle. How can cold weapons fight against firearms?!"
Hearing the crowd's words, Ye Feng firmly shook his head...
"If the others really have guns, then now is a good time to kill them."
If we wait for them to come knocking on our door again in the future, will we still have a chance to fight back?
Since we're going to die anyway, we might as well fight it out now.
If you're scared, then take a detour.
After saying that, he broke free from Fu Changxiong's hand and crouched down on his own...
Seeing this, Fu Changxiong gritted his teeth and followed...
The others, though reluctant, followed suit...
After all, Ye Feng was the backbone of the team; if he died, they probably wouldn't live much longer either…
Soon, using the cover of various large trees, the group slowly made their way down the mountain.
Throughout the journey, Ye Feng remained cautious and vigilant, every nerve on edge.
He thought that if he could kill these people and get two guns, he would never have to worry about safety again...
Before long, they arrived at their previous location...
Strangely, not only had the gunfire completely ceased, but not even the slightest sound of human activity or conversation could be detected…
This puzzled him greatly. If he had actually fired a shot, it meant either he was hunting a large wild animal or he was killing someone…
How could there not be a sound at all? Could it be... that wasn't a gunshot?
Thinking of this, Ye Feng raised an eyebrow, and a plant immediately came to mind.
Then, he seemed to understand what was happening below…
He had been half-crouching, but now he stood up abruptly and ran down the hillside...
This action left everyone bewildered, and before they could even speak to stop him, Ye Feng darted into the woods below…
Only the stunned crowd remained...
"Holy crap! He's a real tiger..."
Fu Changxiong cursed under his breath, drew his knife, and ran after him…
When everyone arrived at the foot of the mountain, they saw Ye Feng standing in the middle of the woods, looking up in a daze.
The group looked around nervously, but found no trace of human activity.
"Stop looking, there's no one else here. We've all been fooled by this tree..."
Ye Feng pointed to a large tree about ten meters away from him and said…
When everyone looked up, they found that the tree was about 20 meters tall and its whole body was covered with dense, cone-shaped thorns.
Liu Sisi's eyes lit up, and she immediately realized...
"Oh! So that's what made that sound earlier? It really is exactly as rumored..."
"You mean... the gunshot came from this tree?"
Qi Xiaoyan asked…
"That's it!"
Liu Sisi pointed to the black, pumpkin-like fruit on the tree and said:
"This tree is called the sandbox tree, a plant of the Euphorbiaceae family. This tree is used for propagation."
Once their fruits mature, they burst open, scattering their seeds to grow in more distant places.
That's why it's also called the Box Tree...
Moreover, their sap and thorns are poisonous. They are very dangerous plants.
"Oh~"
After hearing this, everyone felt incredulous; the power of nature to create things is truly amazing.
This oldest primeval forest on Earth still holds so many unknowns for them.
"Who said it was dangerous?"
Ye Feng turned his head with a smile...
"I actually think this thing is very interesting."
Seeing his expression, Liu Sisi frowned. She knew Ye Feng had many thoughts, and this expression most likely meant he was after the tree…
"Brother Feng, this is a notorious poisonous tree, it's poisonous from head to toe. What are you planning to do?"
Ye Feng grinned and said:
"Your knowledge is incomplete. This rattling box tree can not only self-destruct, but also be manually detonated."
These words touched on a blind spot in Liu Sisi's knowledge...
"Manual? How do I detonate it?"
"It's very simple! As long as the fruit is hit hard, it will explode."
For example, impact or knocking. So...
At this point, he looked at Qi Xiaojie with a broad smile…
"Little stutterer, think about it. If you encounter danger in the future, you might throw this thing at someone..."
Qi Xiaojie adjusted his glasses, his expression becoming slightly agitated…
"Wow! So I...I'm not...invincible anymore!?"
"hehe…"
Ye Feng smiled and quickly put down his backpack, took out a rope, and prepared to climb the tree…
This Explosion Fruit is not just something that explodes...
