Liu Sisi could clearly feel that with each forward movement she made, the vines were sinking lower and lower.
She immediately steeled herself, sped up, and just as she was about to reach the other side and was about to turn around and jump...
"Whoosh! Hiss..."
The arrow detached completely from the tree trunk, and the vine rope fell directly to the ground.
Her body instantly began to fall freely.
"Hey!"
Just as everyone was about to pull her up, they discovered that Liu Sisi had not fallen into the water.
She managed to grab onto the rocks on the shore in time, and was hanging there.
Ye Feng breathed a sigh of relief. As long as he didn't fall into the water, the outcome was still acceptable.
"Can you climb up there, Sisi?"
"no problem!"
In this position, an average girl might not even be able to hold on, as her arm strength simply wouldn't allow it.
However, Liu Sisi has been practicing rock climbing for many years and has been doing physical labor with Ye Feng for so long, so her strength is by no means ordinary.
Suddenly, she began to sway her body from side to side, with the arc becoming increasingly larger.
She used her waist strength to place her right foot on a rock face, and without much effort, she struggled to climb up.
"Well done!"
The anxiety that had been hanging in the air finally subsided.
Without resting, Liu Sisi quickly re-tied the rope to the tree trunk.
Next, everyone began to climb the ropes to cross the river one by one.
It didn't take much effort; in just a few minutes, everyone had crossed the river.
"Well done, Sisi!"
Ye Feng smiled and patted Liu Sisi on the shoulder. If it weren't for her, the rest of the people wouldn't have been able to get here quickly.
Only she can do this job…
Liu Sisi grinned shyly, revealing two prominent canine teeth...
"Hehe~ I'm glad I could help everyone."
After retrieving the vines and ropes, the group continued their journey.
As soon as Ye Feng turned and disappeared into the forest, he felt as if his toe had kicked something sharp.
"Hey!"
He lost his balance and staggered forward a few steps, nearly falling flat on his face.
After regaining his balance, he looked back...
A sharp corner inexplicably peeked out from the ground covered with yellow fallen leaves.
Unsure what kind of creature it was, Ye Feng made a gesture, and everyone quickly moved aside...
He carefully dug through the pile of fallen leaves with his stick, and only after it was revealed did he realize...
This isn't some kind of creature; it's clearly a dead tree trunk lying on the ground.
Seeing this, Zhan Pengwu chuckled and joked:
"Hey buddy...aren't you being a little too nervous? Are you worried about someone lying in ambush everywhere?"
"Better safe than sorry; it's always good to be cautious in everything you do."
As soon as he finished speaking, Ye Feng suddenly froze.
A moment later, he immediately cleared away all the fallen leaves, revealing the entire tree trunk.
This is a large tree, about the size of a foot basin and about 7 meters long.
Due to years of wind and rain, it's impossible to tell what kind of tree the maple is anymore.
Judging from its color, this tree must have fallen a long time ago…
He touched the tree trunk with his hands, tapping and striking it, producing a clear, resonant sound.
This means that the tree has completely dried out...
When he reached the middle position, he pressed his hand down on the wood.
Then, leaning forward slightly and exerting a little force, there was a "whoosh" sound...
The bark of the tree trunk was visibly cracked; if more force was applied, it would break completely with a "crack".
Ye Feng's lips curled up, and an idea immediately flashed through his mind...
"Monk, what did you just say?"
Zhan Pengwu felt a little uneasy under his gaze, but still replied:
"Uh...aren't you too nervous?"
"No, the second sentence."
Are you worried that someone is lying in ambush?
"hehe…"
Ye Feng patted the tree trunk with a strange grin on his face...
I don't know if others are lying in ambush on me, but I'm definitely going to pull a fast one on them.
Upon hearing this, Zhan Pengwu also revealed a strange smile. He knew that Ye Feng had come up with some new trick to mess with people.
"Oh, what kind of dirty trick have you come up with this time? Tell me quickly..."
"What do you think... if there are pursuers behind them, how should they cross the river after they get here?"
Without hesitation, Zhan Pengwu blurted out…
"Of course, we'd just swim across...after all, the river is so short."
Ye Feng's smile vanished, and he shook his head in exasperation...
"Do you think those mercenaries are as brainless as you?"
If they were really that stupid, they probably would have been swallowed up by this land before they even caught up with us.
Liu Sisi blinked, as if she understood what Ye Feng meant…
"Brother Feng... are you... planning to use this dead tree trunk to build a road for them?"
"Hmm~ Smart!"
Ye Feng walked back to the riverbank in a few steps, glancing at the seemingly calm water below. His smile grew even more wicked.
“These human toothfish are so thirsty, how can we, as caring Chinese people, not feed them?”
Even Buddha himself had the experience of cutting off his own flesh to feed eagles, so today, let's use the flesh of those foreigners to feed the fish.
"Okay, okay, okay! Hurry up and get it done!"
Zhan Pengwu clapped his hands with joy, just like a child preparing to play a prank.
It seems that this method of killing is much more enjoyable than a direct confrontation.
But at that moment, Tang Weiwei patted the tree trunk…
"But...this tree is so fragile, how can it be placed perfectly on the other side?"
If you push it over directly, it will definitely break.
And as you said, the other side isn't stupid; they'll definitely check.
And… what if those pursuers, like Vitnil and his group, have already gotten ahead of us, or don't take this route at all? Wouldn't this trap have been set for nothing?
Ye Feng spread his hands, his face full of confidence.
"Don't worry, not every player on any of the eight teams will be that fast."
Now that the map has refreshed, they'll definitely be able to see that our route is a shortcut.
In this situation, the only way to catch up with me is to follow the same route and use speed to keep up.
Even if the pursuers get ahead of me, it doesn't matter. This trap won't take more than a few minutes anyway.
As for how to lure them into the trap, hmph... do those people even have a choice? Are there any other quick routes to get here nearby?
After saying that, he used his stick to push aside the thick layer of fallen leaves and poked a small hole in the muddy ground in a few quick strokes.
Pour in some water, stir it slightly, and a thick mud will form.
Then, he stepped into the mud pit, and after his shoes were covered with wet mud, he gently imprinted his left and right footprints on the dead tree trunk.
But that wasn't all; he then instructed everyone to do the same.
Normally, most people would be very cautious when they see a narrow, single-plank bridge-like area, let alone mercenaries.
However, if someone takes the lead and successfully gets through, especially someone they know, then their psychological defenses will be greatly weakened.
In the absence of any better alternatives, they would most likely proceed rashly.
After all the footprints were made, Ye Feng took out the rope again and called on everyone to lift one end of the withered tree.
Then they tied a section with a rope, made a knot, and then divided into two groups of people who pushed and pulled, and the tree trunk was erected.
