As it turns out, this method is quite effective, at least it doesn't deviate too far from the correct path.
Moreover, the team has Liu Sisi, who has exceptional hearing.
Ye Feng told her to keep listening to the sound of the waterfall; as long as she didn't stray too far from the sound, it would be like having a landmark.
Head towards the place with the loudest sound of water, you can't go wrong.
After walking for about 40 minutes, the group arrived at a terraced hillside area.
The sun wasn't very strong today, and they hadn't been traveling for very long, but they were already covered in sweat.
Unfortunately, the heat and humidity in the Amazon are really hard to bear, and going uphill is also quite physically demanding.
Helpless, everyone had no choice but to rest where they were for the time being.
They each found a tree and sat down against its trunk.
Ye Feng picked up the water bottle and took a big gulp of water, then strained his ears to try and find the direction of the waterfall's sound.
In fact, he could barely hear anymore…
"Sisi, are you sure you can still hear the sound of the waterfall?"
"Don't worry, Brother Feng."
Liu Sisi pointed to the two o'clock direction, facing a hillside full of big trees, yet she appeared very confident.
"Although the sound of the water was very faint, I could still hear a little bit, and I was sure it was in that direction."
However… I just don’t know how much longer we have to climb.
Ye Feng took out his binoculars and carefully looked towards the mountaintop. He discovered that they were only about 200 meters away from the summit.
According to his prediction, once he climbed the mountain, he would be able to reach roughly the same level as the waterfall.
Then, follow the sound of water until you see the large river above the waterfall; then you've succeeded.
"Almost there, we just need to reach the mountain..."
"Boom!"
Before he could finish speaking, a huge explosion suddenly came from the mountaintop.
The crowd trembled in fright; if they hadn't been still relatively conscious, they would have thought they were hallucinating.
"What's going on!?"
"A grenade?"
Tang Weiwei and Zhan Pengwu instinctively took off their bows and looked warily toward the mountaintop.
They had never encountered such a modern explosion in the jungle.
They believed that such a sound could only have been created by humans.
"Oh, don't be nervous, brothers. It's just the sound of the popping box tree fruit exploding."
Zhan Pengfei had witnessed Qi Xiaojie throw the box fruit before, so he wasn't too flustered.
“I encountered this kind of tree before when I was traveling with Brother Feng, and I was also startled at the time.”
Later I learned that there were even berries in this jungle that could explode.
Upon hearing this, Tang Weiwei and Zhan Pengwu breathed a slight sigh of relief. They knew that the plants in the Amazon were amazing, but they never expected that the plants would explode.
Suddenly, Qi Xiaojie excitedly ran up to Ye Feng.
Last time, he wasted two berries trying to deal with LeBron.
If he hadn't been ambushed by the car in front, he could have easily dealt with those people on his own.
He was fascinated by the power of the Soundbox Fruit, and he even thought about unleashing a burst of fire the next time he encountered an enemy.
It's a pity there aren't many, so we dare not use them recklessly. Now that we have another opportunity to replenish our ammunition, how can we let it pass us by?
"Feng...Brother Feng, let's...hurry...go...and pick some! This time...I...I'll pick them!"
Seeing his excited expression, Ye Feng frowned, his gaze fixed on the sky, no longer as composed as before.
"Boom!"
Suddenly another loud bang was heard, even louder than the first one.
It sounded just like a grenade exploding, and everyone jumped in fright.
"That explosion really came from the fruit!?"
Tang Weiwei looked at Ye Feng with disbelief, seeking an answer.
"wrong!"
Ye Feng shouted with a serious expression:
"The popping sound of the fruit from the 'Xianghezi' tree is crisp, like the sound of a pistol being fired."
The sound was noticeably muffled, much louder than the sound of the fruit from the box tree.
"ah!?"
Everyone was shocked and immediately realized the seriousness of the problem.
Tang Weiwei quickly nocked her bow and arrow again, her expression full of vigilance.
"If it's not a plant, then there must be someone on it. Damn it! These guys even have grenades!?"
"Brother Feng, how about we take a detour?"
"If the enemy really has grenades, how do we fight them?"
"Damn the production team, isn't this affecting the game's balance?"
...
"Stop, stop, stop!"
Hearing the obvious panic in everyone's voices, Ye Feng couldn't help but speak up.
"You're getting way off track. I only said the sound was like a grenade, not that it was a grenade. Look how scared you've gotten..."
If the production team were to actually give out grenades, they should give them to me.
Based on my speculation, it's unlikely that firearms will appear in this game.
Otherwise, wouldn't killing become too easy? Audiences don't like watching gunfights.
Without bloody battles, how can we maintain viewership ratings?
Upon hearing this, everyone was even more puzzled, but only Liu Sisi seemed to have guessed something.
"This must be another plant that explodes."
Ye Feng did not answer immediately, but simply put his bag back on.
"Anyway, there are plenty of strange things in this land. Let's go and take a look."
"Boom!"
No sooner had they finished speaking than another explosion came from the mountaintop… as if warning them not to approach.
But this road is their only way, and if they try to take a detour, they'll probably get lost.
So everyone bravely went up.
A dozen minutes later, when everyone had just reached the top of the mountain, before they even had a chance to see what kind of plant it was...
The explosions rang out again, and this time, they were accompanied by many unidentified flying objects.
Ye Feng, who was walking at the front, suddenly raised an eyebrow. A fist-sized, yellowish-brown, semi-circular object was growing larger and larger in his pupils.
His natural reaction was to immediately cover his face with his hands.
"call out…"
He was lucky; the unidentified object flew right past his left ear…
Immediately afterwards, Zhan Pengfei's scream was heard...
"ah!"
Ye Feng turned around and realized that the object had hit Zhan Pengfei squarely on the forehead.
His vision went black instantly, he lost consciousness, and fell backward…
At the very back of the group, Zhan Pengwu reacted quickly and caught Zhan Pengfei.
"What the heck is this...? What is that?! Xiaofei! How are you?!"
Seeing this, Ye Feng was about to go forward to check when another explosion occurred…
The sound of countless unidentified flying objects slicing through the surrounding leaves was like a shower of petals, a constant rustling sound...
"Retreat quickly!"
Ye Feng knew that these must be fragments of an explosive device, so he quickly turned his back, lowered his head, and told everyone to retreat.
As soon as he turned around, he felt a touch from his backpack.
The force wasn't great; it felt like someone had gently tapped my back with countless fingers.
It lasted for less than two seconds…
