Enzo readily agreed, while Vitnier laughed heartily…
A muscular arm stepped forward and wrapped its arm around his shoulder...
"That's what good brothers are like. They share the meat and make money together."
"Let's go, that kid's almost here. We need to find a place to ambush him quickly."
Enzo gave him a forced, insincere smile...
"I've already found a spot. There's a thicket of bushes about 100 meters ahead. It's a high vantage point, perfect for an ambush."
"Diccas, go and retrieve the arrows for me, then return to the previous location to meet me."
No sooner had he finished speaking than the bright sunlight in the sky suddenly dimmed.
Dark clouds suddenly enveloped the blazing sun; everything happened too suddenly, and the sky became oppressive and heavy.
"Damn weather, it's going to rain at this hour, so annoying."
Vitner muttered a curse...
Enzo merely frowned slightly…
"That's how the Amazon rainy season is; it won't affect the ambush much. Let's get going."
As they spoke, the two walked side by side, arm in arm, like good brothers.
If you didn't know better, you'd really think they had a very good relationship.
But a closer look reveals that both men had their left and right hands resting on the hilts of their respective short swords at their waists.
They were mercenaries who knew each other too well. On the surface, they were like brothers, but in reality, they each had their own agendas and were wary of one another.
Within a minute, raindrops began to seep from the dark, heavy clouds, irrigating the already damp rainforest…
Ten minutes later, in the woods more than 500 meters away—
Ye Feng and his group of eight had already changed into raincoats and were still advancing towards the ambush set up by Vitner and his men.
This place truly lives up to its reputation as the heart of the Amazon; not only are there many poisonous creatures, but the roads are also much more difficult to traverse than in other places.
The group had just crossed a rocky area...
After years of wind and rain, the rocks in the wild are mostly covered with slippery moss.
Adding to the problem was the rain and the jumbled rocks, which caused them to nearly slip and fall several times.
They had to travel as fast as possible while constantly observing their surroundings, which greatly limited their speed.
Ye Feng glanced at his white watch; there were still 28 minutes left before the map ended.
He glanced around carefully again, his expression turning serious.
Seeing him suddenly stop and look serious, the people behind him immediately took off the bows from their necks and looked around without saying a word.
Through their long-term interaction, they have developed a conditioned reflex.
Seeing Ye Feng's unusual behavior, everyone assumed that something must have happened.
After watching for a while, it became clear that most of the tree trunks around were quite small, making it virtually impossible for a person to hide there, and the two monkeys did not give any warning.
Everyone was puzzled, but Tang Weiwei's eyes continued to scan the surroundings as she asked in a low voice:
Is there a problem with this?
Ye Feng simply shook his head and waved his hand, signaling everyone to put down their bows and arrows.
"There's no problem here, but I don't know... if there are any problems in front and behind."
"What's the meaning?"
Everyone still looked puzzled...
Ye Feng picked up the white watch, tapped the screen, and his solemn expression remained unchanged.
"I just find it strange. Logically speaking... even Kuz, who is ranked tenth on the villain list, can catch up with us. There's no reason why the top nine should be weaker than him, right?"
Moreover, since we landed yesterday, our travel speed hasn't been very fast; we even went back to ambush Kuz's gang just now.
So... where did the remaining 7 teams go?
"The map refreshed, giving us such a good opportunity to chase them down. Half an hour has passed, and we haven't seen a single person. Don't you find that strange?"
Upon hearing this, Liu Sisi raised her eyebrows, as if she had guessed Ye Feng's meaning...
"You mean... they've actually caught up with us, but haven't shown themselves?"
The atmosphere instantly tensed upon hearing this. Everyone instinctively drew their weapons, their sharp eyes fixed on every corner of their surroundings.
There are still 40 pursuers left. If they all ambush us, we're afraid we won't be able to turn the tide.
Ye Feng rolled his eyes, remained silent for a moment, and then shook his head.
"I can't rule out that possibility, but it's also possible that I'm overthinking it and they haven't caught up yet."
However, no matter what, it's always better to be safe than sorry. We only have one life, so we must not be careless.
"Cheer up, keep a close eye on your surroundings, and keep moving forward."
Everyone nodded, their nerves tensing up once again.
Even the tenth-ranked Kuz team has two bows, so other teams will definitely have them too.
Their fish-scale armor couldn't withstand the penetrating power of arrows.
If the arrow was poisoned, even a small scratch would be fatal.
Even if it's 8 against 40, Ye Feng is confident that he can use the environment to fight back or escape in a head-on confrontation in the jungle.
But if you're ambushed, there's really nothing you can do.
After all, there are plenty of places to hide in the wild, where there are plenty of plants.
Many of the other side are former mercenaries, so their ability to hide is definitely not small.
The group continued walking forward, and Ye Feng instructed everyone to keep their eyes on a specific direction to ensure there were no blind spots in their field of vision.
Soon, the group arrived at a forest with undulating terrain.
They had experienced similar road sections many times before and didn't pay much attention to them.
But soon, Qi Xiaojie, who was in charge of observing the ground, suddenly pointed to the ground and stammered.
"Feng...Brother Feng, this...this is..."
Before he could finish speaking, Ye Feng followed his finger and looked down at the ground.
On the muddy ground covered with fallen leaves, a long, paper-like object, several centimeters in length, immediately caught his attention.
Ye Feng narrowed his eyes and immediately picked it up…
This is clearly a corner torn off some kind of food packaging.
The plastic sheet was still quite new, and there were some food scraps inside that had been dampened by rain.
Upon seeing this, everyone immediately came to their senses.
"This thing looks like a compressed biscuit packaging bag."
Fu Changxiong recognized it at a glance, and then took out the compressed biscuits that he had previously seized from Kuz and the others from his bag.
One of them was still intact, and when compared, the two pieces were identical in color and pattern.
Ye Feng took a deep breath; the thing he least wanted to happen had still come to pass.
"Gentlemen, it seems these people are much faster than I thought. I think they should be nearby..."
"What do you mean? Should we just start fighting?"
Tang Weiwei was straightforward, and Zhan Pengwu was also eager to try.
"Since we already know... let's just kill these bastards and stop living in constant fear. That wouldn't be right..."
Ye Feng rolled his eyes at the two of them and threw away the plastic sheet.
"If we can kill them, we definitely will. But we don't know... which team they are, or what their weapons and equipment are..."
Knowing yourself and your enemy is always a necessary factor for victory. If the opponent is Cheng Haojun or Okuga's team, things will be much more difficult.
Upon hearing this, Fu Changxiong suddenly spoke up to remind him:
"Brother, I don't think it could be them."
