The once white bark had now turned a deep black…
Qi Xiaoyan picked up the frying pan and carefully poured the liquid medicine into the jar, afraid of spilling a single drop.
A moment later, the jar was exactly full...
She gently blew on it for a while, and once it wasn't so hot anymore, she slowly poured it down Liu Sisi's throat...
After administering the medicine, she sat down under a large tree, rubbing her throbbing armpits and thighs, and let out a long sigh of relief…
Now that everything that needed to be done has been done, whether Liu Sisi lives or dies depends entirely on her own fate…
At this moment, Qi Xiaoyan's eyes were listless, and she felt like she was about to collapse.
She didn't want to sleep; it was just that the mental exhaustion made her feel extremely uncomfortable.
She gently raised her head, looking at the drizzle in the sky, and murmured:
"Is this what pressure is? Brother Feng, so you've always... lived like this? That's amazing..."
As the saying goes, those who have never experienced hardship cannot understand how unbearable it can be.
Only through experience can one truly understand how powerful those who came before them were.
Qi Xiaoyan was in this state at that moment; she was exhausted just from saving one person…
While leading them, Ye Feng had to constantly consider everyone's safety and future survival...
Despite facing countless difficulties and dangers, they have remained safe and sound to this day.
This is all because of Ye Feng's existence...
But now, less than three days after we parted ways, someone in the team is already missing and their fate is unknown.
This made her realize that without Ye Feng, such incidents would definitely become more and more frequent in the future…
Therefore, everything will be alright only if we find him now.
But then a question arose in her mind, and she suddenly remembered…
Although their goal in traveling this far was to find the tree...
But after walking for almost two kilometers, I still didn't see a single arrow.
"Could it be? Something happened to Brother Feng? Or... did we take the wrong road?"
Qi Xiaoyan pondered carefully, but she knew that with Ye Feng's abilities, he certainly wouldn't die so easily.
So it's highly likely that you've taken the wrong path.
But where did it go wrong?
After a moment of silence, she turned to Fu Changxiong and Qi Xiaojie, who were munching on dried meat, and asked…
"Xiong-ge, Xiao-jie, do you guys remember? The last place we saw Feng-ge marked?"
The two were taken aback, then craned their necks and began to recall...
A few seconds later, Qi Xiaojie said:
"It seems...it is...it's that...low-lying...grassland..."
Fu Changxiong frowned and quickly retorted:
"No! I remember... it seems to be the place where Sisi fainted."
Uh…yes! Maybe that's it! There are so many trees there, we haven't even searched the whole area yet.”
Hearing this, Qi Xiaoyan nodded in agreement…
Because that place left a deep impression on her; the terrain was very rugged, like a small, uneven mountain range…
The roads are interconnected; there are roads everywhere you look if you want to go anywhere…
Moreover, there are a great many trees, most of which are the giant eucalyptus trees, which are exactly the same.
They hadn't finished searching when Liu Sisi fainted.
Therefore, that is the most likely location where the instructions were lost.
Thinking of this, her confidence was rekindled…
"That's it! It must be there! You two eat quickly, and once you've regained your strength, we'll set off."
Upon hearing this, both of them nodded...
They, too, longed to see Ye Feng as soon as possible.
Just over ten days ago, they were eating eight dishes and a soup, and living in a warm and safe treehouse.
Even during the massive flood disaster, people were still able to enjoy delicacies like fish head soup and electric eel hot pot.
For the past few days, they have been living a life of hardship, barely surviving, often going hungry and unable to sleep soundly...
It's not that Liu Sisi lacks ability, it's just that they've followed Ye Feng for too long, and their starting point was too high...
I can't accept my current life anymore...
But what they don't know is that true wilderness survival should actually be like this...
After all, nothing is perfect or exquisite in every way...
Just as the group was hiding under the tree, munching on jerky and lost in thought...
A raft carrying five people glided slowly along the small river beside them…
They were approaching them silently, about 500 meters away.
And this group of people were the same ones they had encountered a few days ago on that small hill—Kodiaz and his men…
Since their last parting, the five of them had been trying to track down Ye Feng…
Despite breaking all their oars, they still couldn't find Ye Feng and the others.
This made Cody both anxious and angry, as they were unaware that Ye Feng's roadmap was completely different from theirs.
I hadn't even thought about it that way.
They felt that Ye Feng must have deliberately deviated from the route to escape being chased.
After all, Black men have mostly focused their talents on sports, and they do lack logical reasoning skills.
It's around noon now...
They arrived at their destination just an hour ago.
If they had followed the map, they wouldn't have come here; they should have gone to another river.
But by sheer coincidence, they discovered the thick smoke drifting from there.
So they decided to come and take a look...
These men all had blood on their hands, and relying on their large, imposing physiques, they didn't care who they were...
If there are few people, just kill them and take their supplies.
If we have a large number of people and good weapons, we can simply retreat.
At this moment, besides the two old black men rowing the boat, Cody, Tanguy, and Watanabe were standing at the bow, looking around...
Because there were many trees along the riverbank that provided cover, they didn't see Qi Xiaoyan and the others for a while.
Moreover, after Qi Xiaoyan finished brewing the medicine, she stopped adding firewood, and the billowing black smoke naturally disappeared.
"Thanks! Did those guys spot us?"
Tang Ji muttered a curse under his breath…
Watanabe stroked the slightly rough wooden bow, then shook his head meaningfully…
"Not necessarily. This stream meanders and twists, and unless someone on the treetops keeps watching, they wouldn't be able to spot us."
I think they must have been burning something just now, which is why there was so much smoke.
It's over now. The smoke has naturally shrunk, so it's probably still in the same spot, or... it hasn't gone far.
About a minute later, Cody suddenly frowned at his eyebrows, which were almost blending into his skin.
With a clang, he instantly drew a foot-long short knife from his waist, a cold sneer playing on his lips...
"Guys, take a good look around 9 o'clock. Who have we run into?"
Upon hearing this, both of them narrowed their eyes and looked in the direction...
At this moment, Qi Xiaoyan was facing away from them, cleaning the ashes from the stove, preparing to continue their journey…
The raft carrying the few people was nowhere to be found...
