Chapter 342 The Sudden Increase in Amount



"ah!…"

Rob had dug many traps for people while following Horford, and in that instant of weightlessness, he knew he had definitely fallen into one.

He reacted quickly, stretching his hands forward immediately.

If the trap isn't too wide, you can definitely reach the other side with both arms.

Even if it cannot stop the fall, it can certainly slow down the descent to prevent being pierced by the spikes.

But Ye Feng had already thought of this.

Therefore, the trap he had Fu Changxiong dig was circular.

The depth and length are both approximately two meters, so regardless of the direction from which it falls, the diameter remains the same…

"Well!……"

More than ten sharp spikes instantly pierced Rob's chest and thigh.

Because he was face down, one of the bullets hit his left eye and went straight into his brain.

One second he was thanking God for his blessings, and the next he was a hedgehog.

His body twitched for less than two seconds, and before he could even let out a scream, he went straight to meet God.

Meanwhile, Ye Feng and his group, who were still on their way, discovered the anomaly a few minutes later.

Zhan Pengfei was squatting by the roadside taking a dump when he happened to see the amount on his watch change.

It changed from the original 2860 to 2880…

He clearly remembered the rules that Chou Chou announced: accidental death would cost 200,000, while being murdered would cost 400,000.

But now that the game has progressed to this point, everyone has banded together. Are there really any people who would die unexpectedly?

Zhan Pengfei sensed something was amiss, so he quickly wiped his bottom with a few leaves and hurried out of the bushes.

At that moment, Ye Feng and his companions were chatting under the tree while waiting for him.

"Oh dear, a dignified traditional Chinese medicine doctor, constipated? Zhan Pengwu, hurry up and go see what's wrong with your brother, how much longer is he going to have diarrhea?"

Ye Feng spoke impatiently; in fact, they had been waiting for nearly ten minutes.

"Okay, I'll go take a look."

Just as Zhan Pengwu stood up, Zhan Pengfei jogged over from a distance.

"Hey, you've finally finished pooping, kid. Go find some herbs to treat it later."

"What if I get bitten by a poisonous insect after dragging this out in the wild for so long?"

Zhan Pengfei chuckled. So far, he didn't seem to have found any herbs to cure constipation.

"Alright, alright, let's go."

Ye Feng urged everyone to put their bags back on.

"Brother Feng."

Zhan Pengfei quickly tapped his watch.

"Take a look at your watch, the numbers have gone up again, but I feel like something's not right."

"Um?"

Ye Feng glanced at his watch, but when he saw the numbers on it, he immediately realized the problem.

Immediately, a look of seriousness appeared on his face, but then a smile slowly spread across his face.

Seeing this, the others also checked their watches…

"It increased by 200,000?"

"Could someone have been bitten to death by a poisonous insect?"

"Not necessarily. It's also possible that he was poisoned by eating something he shouldn't have."

...

Everyone speculated about the source of the 200,000 yuan, assuming that the person had died in an accident, since the rules were clearly written.

But only Ye Feng sensed that this matter was not simple.

"While the scenarios you're speculating about are indeed possible, I don't think this person died for those reasons."

Is it possible that this person stepped on a trap and died?

"That's unlikely."

Tang Weiwei immediately recalled the deceased Clayvin.

"When I first arrived here, I saw Clayvin fighting with a group of black men."

One of them was slashed and kicked into the river, where he was then eaten by piranhas.

Logically speaking, the black man wasn't dead before he went into the river, and it wasn't Clayvin who killed him.

But I remember clearly that the prize pool still increased by 400,000 at that time, which wasn't unexpected.

Ye Feng nodded; he had experienced this kind of thing before.

"A few days before the game started, we also killed two wanted criminals by feeding humans."

The rainy season hadn't arrived yet, but back then it was calculated based on the amount of money involved in the fighting.

So I think the show's criteria for defining "fierce competition" and "accidents"...

It depends on whether the challengers fight each other.

As long as it exists, even if the challenger doesn't ultimately kill the challenger...

Rather, it's the challenger pushing the other person into a certain situation...

Or, if someone borrows a creature to kill the other, that can also be considered a result of fighting.

Conversely, if someone sets a trap and another person triggers it and dies, it will not count.

Because there's no fighting, the visuals aren't exciting enough, and viewers might not like it, so it doesn't count.

Upon hearing this explanation, everyone frowned and fell into a brief silence.

They were not bloodthirsty people, and they didn't care how much money was in the prize pool.

Anyway, we already have 150 million, which is more than enough to resolve our respective issues.

However, none of them could figure out what Ye Feng was trying to express.

Tang Weiwei looked at her watch and asked again:

"What do all this have to do with this 200,000? And what makes you think he died from stepping on a trap?"

"It's very simple..."

Ye Feng continued speaking:

"First of all, I haven't seen an increase in the amount of accidental deaths for almost three weeks."

I also find it hard to believe that someone who has survived on this land to this day would make such a basic mistake as to be bitten to death by a poisonous creature in broad daylight.

It's important to know that over 70% of the venomous insects in the Amazon are only active at night.

At least, I think the possibility is very, very small.

Secondly, most of the people who are still alive now are based on their teams.

Two fists can't fight four hands; a lone wolf has almost no chance of surviving in this game.

I'm afraid even Watanabe has already found teammates.

So, if it really was a trap set by someone, why did only one person die?

Why would this person be traveling alone?

"Hiss~"

Tang Weiwei scratched her head in confusion, feeling like her scalp was about to explode. The others were even more baffled, completely unable to guess Ye Feng's meaning.

He just said that the dead man had fallen into a trap, but now he seems to be contradicting himself.

"Alright, just tell me the result."

As soon as she finished speaking, Liu Sisi suddenly had a flash of inspiration and seemed to understand what Ye Feng meant.

"Brother Feng, you mean this person died in a trap, that's right."

However, he died in an unguarded trap.

And this trap…

Liu Sisi stared wide-eyed, remembering the traps that Fu Changxiong and Qi Xiaojie had dug near the treehouse before they left.

"That's right."

Ye Feng smiled and immediately thought of Horford and his group.

Because the closest people to their camp were those other groups.

"It's possible that Horford and his men found our camp, or it's possible that someone else triggered a trap they had set."

However, I think the former is more likely. Wasn't Ni Ge on Horford's side setting a trap on the road to kill and steal the treasure?

"After discovering I have a good bow, figuring I'm definitely nearby, and that I even killed one of his men, do you think he wouldn't send someone to look for me?"
