After scanning his surroundings, Ye Feng did not spot Cairnster and quickly ran over.
He had just finished collecting the arrows and came over after hearing Zhan Pengwu's shout.
After all, Cairnster was his most pressing opponent; once he was dead, the others were no threat.
But when he saw Zhan Pengwu's red face, he, who was used to playing with drugs, could tell at a glance that he had been poisoned.
"Holy crap, what's going on? Where's Cairnst?"
Ye Feng took out a first-aid kit from his backpack and a water bottle at the same time.
"Oh dear..."
Zhan Pengwu had a bewildered look on his face; the burning pain hadn't lessened at all, and he was still in great agony.
"Let him get away..."
Upon hearing this, Ye Feng shook his head and sighed helplessly, remaining silent for the time being.
Judging from Zhan Pengwu's face, he had already guessed most of what had happened.
This is clearly a case of being sabotaged.
Sure enough, people who put all their talent into physical strength have no brains.
Even with the initial advantage, being ambushed still shows a lack of intelligence.
Although he was disappointed in Ye Feng, he decided to save the person first.
Even though the tree sap poison hasn't entered the wound yet, if it's not treated quickly, Zhan Pengwu's entire face will rot away.
Once the skin breaks open and becomes infected, the consequences will be unimaginable.
He quickly put the soap into the kettle, shook the soapy water, and then let Zhan Pengwu wash himself.
The alkaline substances in soapy water can neutralize toxins to some extent and also kill bacteria.
It can alleviate some of the effects of poisoning, namely the pain response.
After washing his face, Ye Feng took out two anti-inflammatory pills and gave them to Zhan Pengwu.
Sure enough, the burning sensation gradually lessened, and Zhan Pengwu's expression also softened considerably.
He leaned against the tree trunk with a relieved expression, breathing slightly.
"Ouch~ Brother, you are really my savior, otherwise I would have been in so much pain."
Ye Feng slowly put away his tools, glared at him, and his expression clearly showed anger.
If Cairnster escapes, then the operation can only be considered half successful.
The opportunity that had been earned after enduring humiliation for many days was now lost.
"Do you know that for Cairnster, entering the jungle is like a fish entering water?"
Killing him now will be much more difficult. Do you remember what you promised me a few days ago?
"Well……"
Upon hearing this, Zhan Pengwu awkwardly scratched the back of his head, feeling somewhat embarrassed.
When Ye Feng first devised this plan, his original intention was for him and Tang Weiwei to kill Cairnster together.
However, Zhan Pengwu felt that he could handle the opponent by himself, so he boasted to Ye Feng that he could definitely kill the opponent in one fell swoop.
But now it seems he clearly underestimated his opponent.
However, Zhan Pengwu also harbored resentment...
"Brother, I admit I didn't do a good job, but you also bear some responsibility..."
"I?"
Ye Feng's eyes widened; he hadn't expected him to say that...
What responsibility do I bear?
“Look…”
Zhan Pengwu picked up the spiked club and presented one end to Ye Feng.
Two-thirds of the thorns that were stuck on with resin have already disappeared.
The rest are also rickety and their quality is indeed worrying.
"If it weren't for the fact that so many thorns had fallen off, I would have sent him to meet his maker long ago."
Even so, I still managed to give him quite a few wounds.
Upon hearing this, Ye Feng blinked awkwardly a few times. He had indeed cut corners in order to quickly prepare the weapons and get on the road.
He believed at the time that bows and arrows would be the primary weapon for self-defense in the future. Close combat would be largely unnecessary…
So the focus was placed on making arrows.
Unexpectedly, it actually had something to do with me.
"cough!"
Ye Feng coughed lightly and quickly changed the subject.
"Let's go first, we'll go find the others, and you can tell me about the process and details on the way."
After tidying up, the two picked up the scattered steel spikes and quickly left the area.
After hearing Zhan Pengwu's story, Ye Feng was also taken aback.
He thought Zhan Pengwu and Kaines were about evenly matched, but he never expected...
Zhan Pengwu, who possesses weapons, is so powerful that he actually forced Cairnster to use underhanded tactics to escape.
Although he didn't know Cairnster's temperament very well, capable people all have a certain degree of arrogance, let alone a special forces king.
The fact that he resorted to such a vicious move shows that Zhan Pengwu was indeed putting a lot of pressure on him.
This time we have dealt a heavy blow to the enemy. Although we did not wipe them out completely, upon further reflection, there are still four of them left.
The kind of tactic that relied on surprise attacks to disrupt their mental state, like the one from a few days ago, is no longer viable for Cairnster.
Because of a shortage of manpower, and because the other side will definitely be more cautious after this battle.
So from now on, they'll probably only be able to hide in the shadows and wait for an opportunity to launch a sneak attack.
This was not the result Ye Feng wanted, but there was nothing he could do about it.
At least from now on, they can finally get a good night's sleep.
The two hadn't walked far when they encountered Fu Changxiong and Qi Xiaojie's two groups of men.
They were dejected and looked miserable, as if they had just suffered a defeat.
However, upon counting, it was found that the number of people had not decreased, and there was no sign of anyone being injured.
Ye Feng sensed something was off, so he ran up to them.
"Nobita, you little stutterer!"
Upon hearing Ye Feng's voice, everyone came over to greet him.
"What's going on here?"
Fu Changxiong said angrily:
"Sorry bro, we lost them..."
Damn it, that blond guy was harassing us like crazy, like he had wheels on his feet. We couldn't catch up even with our backpacks off.
Qi Xiaojie also looked frustrated...
"I...I'm sorry. Feng...Brother Feng, I...I also..."
"Alright, goodbye..."
Qi Xiaoyan interrupted his stammering words.
“We lost him too. That Pera is very skilled, and he seems to know the terrain of the nearby forest very well.”
They ran so fast, we couldn't catch up.
"well……"
Ye Feng sighed helplessly; this result did not surprise him much.
The other side were all former soldiers, so in terms of physical strength, they were definitely superior to ordinary people.
Moreover, the jungle is a good place to hide, so it's normal to lose track of someone.
"Alright, you guys, hurry back and strip off your clothes and collect your spoils."
The monk and I are going to find Tang Weiwei. Be careful and keep a close watch to prevent Cairnster from turning back.
After saying that, he and Zhan Pengwu ran towards another dense forest.
At this moment, in a valley more than 500 meters away from the group…
Tang Weiwei was kneeling on one knee, panting heavily.
He had three knife wounds in total—on his chest, shoulder, and arm—and the blood had stained his sleeves and clothes.
Horford also had two knife wounds on his arms, though there wasn't as much blood, but he was still standing.
It seems he has the upper hand.
When it comes to knife skills, Tang Weiwei is actually not much different from Zhan Pengwu.
However, his weight, height, and wingspan are quite different from Horford's.
Whether it's fighting or brawling, it all has to be at a certain level.
