Everyone woke up at the same time.
Their long-term rainforest life has made them seem to use birdsong as an alarm clock.
It's a sunny day today, judging from the lighting.
Ye Feng guessed that it must be at least 7 a.m.
Because the mosquitoes were so numerous last night while we were building the platform, the construction process was rushed, and many parts of the platform were built rather haphazardly.
After sleeping on the uneven floor all night, everyone was now experiencing backaches and had to keep moving around.
"Stop being awkward, let's go."
Ye Feng tidied up hastily and then urged everyone to set off immediately.
He didn't know where those people had chased him to, but there were rules to this battle royale game.
The game ends if even one of Ye Feng's eight companions successfully reaches the destination.
At the same time, all those pursuers will be eliminated.
Therefore, in terms of the initiative, it is still in Ye Feng's hands.
Even if these people weren't after the grand prize, they would still do everything in their power to hunt down the culprit just to survive.
Ye Feng dared not slacken in the slightest; he always believed in his heart…
Even in the harshest jungle environment, he can use knowledge and tools to solve problems.
If all else fails, just run away; there are plenty of ways to do that.
But when you encounter someone, you have no choice but to risk fighting.
If they want to survive and win the final victory with their companions, there is no other way but to escape.
Before the morning mist had completely dissipated, the hurried footsteps of eight people echoed through the forest.
Ye Feng cherished every minute and second, munching on dried meat as he traveled.
They climbed over steep earthen slopes and traversed overgrown thickets of weeds.
They walked from sunrise to midday sun without taking a break the entire way.
For the first half hour, they were still able to see some venomous snakes on the road.
But after walking for more than an hour, the number of poisonous creatures gradually decreased.
At first, Ye Feng and the others were very happy, since they no longer had to pay attention to the enemy and be careful of the poisonous creatures at the same time, which greatly increased their travel speed.
But the further Ye Feng walked, the deeper his brows furrowed…
Because for the next half hour, they didn't see a single snake.
The most outrageous thing is... there wasn't even a single mosquito in sight.
Having been constantly bothered by mosquitoes, they suddenly found themselves without the annoying buzzing in their ears, making it hard not to notice them.
Ordinary people might not find this surprising; perhaps there are no mosquitoes in some places, or perhaps they just haven't appeared in this area yet.
But Ye Feng knew very well that the Amazon was a tropical rainforest.
The humid environment, coupled with the suitable temperature, is clearly a paradise for mosquitoes and bacteria parasites to thrive.
Not seeing a single mosquito here is a thousand eight hundred times rarer than the Chinese national football team winning the World Cup.
However, from that moment on, Ye Feng began to feel a clear sense of unease and panic.
More importantly, he couldn't find the reason at all.
Although he was rushing along the way, Mao Mao and Da Wang stayed by his side the whole time.
Ye Feng had also intentionally or unintentionally probed the surroundings, and he was certain that there was no one nearby.
So where does this inexplicable and eerie sense of panic come from?
He asked his companions and found that they had similar feelings.
Ye Feng thought about it for a long time but still couldn't figure it out; he couldn't find a definite answer at all.
But they couldn't stop on their journey, so they had to think things through while increasing their vigilance.
But after another ten minutes or so, Ye Feng suddenly started getting goosebumps all over his body.
Logically speaking, walking is an aerobic exercise that accelerates blood circulation, so you should get warmer the more you walk.
But he grew colder and colder, and would shiver from time to time, and even had a feeling that... he had walked into an ice cave.
Having spent so much time in the Amazon, he had never felt such a chill.
This chill, to be precise, was a sinister cold that seeped into his brain, something Ye Feng had never experienced even in an air-conditioned room in the city.
As you take a step, the surrounding scenery begins to change.
The forest was still a forest, but the mist that had just been dispersed by the sun had inexplicably reappeared.
The forest grew darker and darker, and the scene resembled five or six o'clock at night.
If Ye Feng hadn't seen the sun beforehand, he would have definitely thought it was almost nightfall.
Things became increasingly bizarre, and this series of illogical phenomena forced Ye Feng to stop.
At this moment, the eight people arrived at a dense forest on a downhill slope with a relatively shallow angle.
A damp and rotten smell inexplicably wafted into the air.
When they saw the forest before them, Ye Feng and his group of eight turned pale and their mouths agape.
Surprise, fear, shock, and confusion—a complex array of emotions were displayed on their expressions.
At this moment, all of them had their brows furrowed tightly...
Because the leaves in this grove were all trembling slightly and irregularly.
It wasn't a reaction to a gentle breeze; rather, it was as if... someone was shaking all the tree trunks at the same time.
But there wasn't a single person in sight. All that remained were scattered bones.
Judging from its shape, Ye Feng recognized it…
Among them were large carnivores, some small rodents, and the carcasses of wild boars, which Ye Feng was most familiar with.
The mesmerizing white mist enveloped all the tree skeletons, making them appear and disappear.
Those crooked trees growing on the bones were all covered with thick moss.
Some long, thin plants, about the thickness of hemp rope, hang naturally from the tree trunk; if you don't look closely, you might mistake the tree for a telephone pole.
Ye Feng picked up the binoculars, but the light was dim, and he couldn't see what was down the hillside at all.
He felt as if he were looking into a bottomless, terrifying black hole abyss.
There wasn't a single living creature here; all that existed was a palpable stillness and desolation...
Ye Feng never imagined that such a desolate place, which only appeared in movies, would actually exist in reality.
It's even more terrifying than the Ailao Mountains...
"Is this... the real primeval rainforest?"
Ye Feng swallowed hard, abandoning his previous foolish idea. It seemed that nature was not something that could be conquered by one's own knowledge.
They are just as terrifying as their pursuers, perhaps even more so.
"Feng... Brother Feng, how about... we... take a... detour?"
Qi Xiaojie, who rarely spoke, was now so frightened that he couldn't stop shivering.
Everyone nodded in agreement...
"Brother Feng, I feel a kind of indescribable sadness in my heart, and I'm also a little dizzy."
"Me too... I feel... nauseous and need to go to the toilet."
"Brother, I'm also feeling dizzy. I've had it for a while now."
"Hey bro, why do I... see people... a bit double?"
"Ye Feng, why... am I suddenly feeling sleepy? How are you?"
