"These three people aren't really that useful, but what do you think..."
"We're fighting Ye Feng head-on, while the other three are hiding in some corner enjoying the spoils of victory. Is that fair?"
Michelle actually sensed the underlying meaning in his words, as the person who had been with Cairnster the longest…
After a moment's thought, I understood his intention.
"You mean, use them as cannon fodder, deal with Ye Feng, and then kill them all for money?"
"hehe…"
Cairnster smiled and put his arm around her shoulder…
"That's roughly the idea, but don't underestimate Ye Feng."
Even though the rankings are based on audience votes, he is the only Chinese person to have reached number one in the past three years.
If I'm not mistaken, the recent surge of 5.3 million, and Clayvin's death, were likely his doing.
Therefore, he definitely has the ability. Let's go back first and discuss it with Pera and Seth.
After saying that, the two quickened their pace.
Meanwhile, in a grove of trees 5 kilometers away from them.
Horford and his five men, armed with knives, are in a standoff with Watanabe and his two companions.
Watanabe had a cut on his left arm, but not much blood was lost, and it didn't look serious.
It's clear that the two groups have clashed before. Watanabe was obviously no match for Horford.
It turns out that ten minutes earlier, Horford had led a team to search for Rob's body.
Watanabe and his two companions, on the other hand, wanted to go hunting.
The two groups accidentally bumped into each other...
Upon seeing the recurve bow on Watanabe's body, he instinctively assumed that the man in front of him was the one he was looking for.
After searching for so long without finding a single living person, three suddenly appeared.
And his subordinate Rob died just yesterday. All of this was too much of a coincidence, and it was hard for Horford not to connect the two.
The two had actually met while rafting down the river; Watanabe was with Kodiaz at the time.
Horford and Cody are good friends, and he has always paid close attention to the prize pool amount.
When Ye Feng killed Cordiaz and the others that day, Horford happened to see the fluctuating amount of money.
When he saw the two 800,000s ticking at the same time, he knew that something must have happened to Cody and the other man.
However, Watanabe, the one who was climbing, was still alive and well, holding a compound bow in his hand, and followed by two other climbers.
Therefore, Horford felt that it was Watanabe who had colluded with outsiders to betray his friend.
With both factors combined, it would be unreasonable not to wipe them out.
Watanabe explained his experience of being ambushed by Ye Feng and his group, but Horford didn't believe him at all.
So, the two sides started fighting after a disagreement.
Watanabe and his two companions were outnumbered, and Watanabe's individual combat ability was inferior to Horford's, so he quickly fell into a disadvantageous position.
Just as he turned to run away, Chou Chou suddenly appeared and announced the new rules of the game.
It saved his life...
"Horford, if you don't believe what I say, then you have to believe what Chou Chou says."
I already told you, Ye Feng has a composite bow, and he killed Cody and Tang Ji.
"Now, are you sure you still want to kill me?"
Horford's dark face wore a complex expression; avenging his brother was just a pretext...
His main goal was to seize the composite bow and tools from Watanabe.
Ugly's rule is clear: they must unite to kill Ye Feng.
At this point, if they were to fight amongst themselves, wouldn't that be equivalent to weakening their own strength?
What Horford didn't expect was that Tang Weiwei and Zhan Pengwu had both joined Ye Feng's team.
"Let's leave them here. Watanabe's archery and fighting skills are quite good. We'll deal with them after we've eliminated Ye Feng."
Sempem whispered in his ear, trying to persuade him…
"Um."
Horford nodded slightly in agreement.
He looked at Watanabe with a forced smile, sheathed the short sword, and pretended to suddenly understand.
"Oh, it was a misunderstanding. I'm sorry, Watanabe-san."
"Why don't we team up, kill Ye Feng together, and win the grand prize?"
Watanabe knew, of course, that he was being insincere, but even so, at least their goals were aligned.
He was already determined to fight Ye Feng to the death, and now he had even more reason to fight to the bitter end.
For the sake of freedom and the grand prize, no one would give up this opportunity.
“Okay, but…didn’t Cairnster say we’d talk about it after he arrived?”
"snort!"
Horford sneered dismissively, not taking Cairnster's words to heart at all, only assuming that he wanted to keep Ye Feng's 10 million for himself.
"Who does he think he is? Yes, I admit he has some ability."
But... are you willing to give him the grand prize? Like you said before...
Ye Feng has survived until now only because of his weapons and equipment.
We now have eight people. All we need to do is kill Tang Weiwei and Zhan Pengwu.
Among the remaining people, there are two women. Can't we easily kill them?
Why should that guy Cairnster get a share of the profits?
Watanabe thought about it carefully for a while and felt that it made sense.
The first time he ambushed Ye Feng and his group, if he hadn't been careless and overlooked the bespectacled child, they would have been wiped out long ago.
Although Ye Feng wasn't there at that time, based on past encounters and available information...
Ye Feng indeed didn't have any real skills; he only relied on unorthodox and underhanded tricks, as well as a compound bow.
With this level of strength, they're only capable of facing truly strong teams; otherwise, they would have been wiped out long ago.
With that in mind, Watanabe readily agreed.
"Okay! But... Ugly said the map won't be sent until tomorrow, and we have no idea where they are right now."
Horford glanced at his watch, still somewhat puzzled.
The production team must have a group of people, and this plan to besiege Ye Feng could not have been something they came up with on a whim.
If it was premeditated, why didn't Chou Chou post it now?
"It's alright. Didn't Cairnster just say that Ye Feng and the others headed southwest?"
Now that we know the route, we just need to head in that direction.
This time, we'll make them taste the bitterness of being ambushed.
2 PM —
Ye Feng and his group of eight continued their journey through the jungle...
Judging from their relaxed demeanor and the smiles on their faces, Chou Chou's phone call was clearly blocked from them.
Along the way, the group made considerable progress and successfully found their way back, making their journey very smooth.
There were a few minor hiccups, but nothing serious happened.
The Amazon rainforest boasts some of the richest plant resources in the world.
They picked herbs as they traveled, and also collected some sap from poisonous trees.
In short, Ye Feng didn't let go of anything that could improve his chances of survival and wasn't too heavy.
At this moment, the group was unaware that they would soon face an encirclement and attack from all the masters.
