At Lavezzi's command, the seven men quickly hid behind tree trunks.
Within three minutes, the faint sounds of running and panting became increasingly clear.
Soon, three figures slowly emerged from the lush forest.
They were none other than Gerald and his two companions, the most unfortunate of the pursuers.
It must be said that although the group was unlucky, their tracking skills were still very strong.
They didn't find as many footprints as Lavezzi because it hadn't rained yet.
It was all based on the hour the map refreshed, and on Ye Feng's movement route that I deduced.
Fortunately, they still managed to catch up.
The three of them had many palm leaves tied to their bodies, but they were still mostly soaked from the heavy rain.
Jeros was walking at the front, his head bowed, staring intently at the ground.
Sure enough, he soon found the footprints left by Ye Feng and his companions.
He couldn't help but chuckle in excitement...
"Haha... Ye Feng! Let's see where you run this time!"
Upon hearing this, Mark and Delaware gathered around, smiling.
After tracking him for three or four days, they finally caught this treacherous villain who had repeatedly set traps for them, causing them heavy losses.
But just as the three of them smiled, they suddenly noticed that there were many fresh footprints among the leaves on the ground around them.
They recognized the shoe prints of Ye Feng and the others, but the pattern of the new shoe print was clearly not the same.
Moreover... the wet mud on the shoe print is still wet, clearly indicating it's new.
As an 8th-level mercenary, he was aware of the obvious danger.
He immediately had a guess in his mind.
"Oh no! There are other people nearby!"
Jeros immediately raised an eyebrow and quickly took down his bow and arrows.
Mark and Derab also drew their knives, and the three of them instantly turned their backs to each other, looking around.
Just then, an arrow whizzed past Gerald's ear, knocking off the palm leaf he was using to shield his head from the rain.
He felt a chill on the back of his ear, and before he could react, he heard a cold shout…
"Don't move!"
As soon as he finished speaking, six men wielding knives emerged from behind a tree trunk about ten meters in front of them.
Meanwhile, Lavezzi in the middle held a crossbow, aiming it directly at Gerald.
"Long time no see, Gerald. Put down your bow, and don't do anything foolish, you know how good my archery is."
Upon seeing the familiar figure, Gerald was taken aback for a moment, then smiled helplessly and waved to Mark and Drab.
The three slowly lowered their weapons...
Jeros and Lavezzi don't belong to the same mercenary company, but they are both veteran mercenaries.
They had even gone on joint combat missions before, going through thick and thin together.
As for relationships, one can switch back and forth between friends and enemies.
Of course, it depends on how much benefit there is... so it's more like a love-hate relationship.
Jeros spread his hands, a half-smile on his face, his expression seemingly unconcerned.
Because the other party was a crossbow expert, if the other party had wanted to kill him, he would have been dead long ago.
He greeted her naturally, as if he were seeing an old friend…
"Hey~ my good brother, you're really lucky, you actually got a crossbow."
We haven't seen each other for so long, there's no need to greet me with arrows.
If you had shot even a fraction off target, my head would be gone.
"snort…"
Lavezzi grinned maliciously... He slowly lowered the crossbow bolt a little, but his finger remained on the trigger.
Clearly, he did not trust this so-called old friend.
The reason he didn't kill was because he had some doubts in his mind.
"Hey buddy, I remember you were a team of six? What happened? Did Ye Feng and his group kill three of you?"
Upon hearing this, Jeros's smile vanished instantly, and he clenched his fists.
He wanted to lie to save face, since his story was too humiliating.
But then I thought, the increase in amount doesn't lie.
Rather than have the lie exposed, it's better to just say it outright...
"Sigh... I was careless and fell into the trap set by that beast Ye Feng. Now there are only the three of us left."
"That's why... I'm planning to get revenge on him."
He spoke succinctly, but Jeros understood the key point of his words.
If you fall into a trap, you won't even see the person.
If they were to actually encounter Ye Feng head-on, given the weapons he possesses, why would he waste time using something as time-consuming as a trap?
He chuckled inwardly, but didn't show it; this wasn't the first time Ye Feng had done something like this.
"Alright, buddy, I'm not going to waste any more words with you. Since we're all aiming for the same goal, I'll give you two paths now."
First, hand over all your weapons and join us to kill Ye Feng.
Secondly, I'll go directly here..."
"I choose number one..."
Lavezzi was interrupted by Jeros before he could finish speaking.
He then threw the composite bow and the other short swords he was carrying in front of him.
From the moment he met Lavezzi, Gerald knew what he was thinking.
If they don't kill me to take my weapons and instead want to talk to me, then they obviously want to cooperate.
It just so happens that I still have an injury on my foot, and I was just worried about not having the confidence to take revenge on Ye Feng.
At this point, finding a team to join is the best option.
Lavezzi wasn't actually very confident about hunting Ye Feng.
The enemy has far too many weapons and equipment, plus two monkeys that are supposed to be the alarm bells. It's really difficult to deal with them, and it's easy for us to be exposed.
As for Jeros, he was also a level 8 mercenary, so his skills were undoubtedly exceptional.
After all, everyone shares the same goal, and his addition is definitely much more significant than the number of these hastily assembled underlings.
Now, he had enough resources to confront Ye Feng head-on.
Afterwards, or when success is almost within reach, simply kill them.
Since the enemy's weapons are in our hands and there are only three of us, we're not afraid of any schemes they might have.
Having already calculated his own scheme, Lavezzi lowered his crossbow, a shrewd smile playing on his lips, and walked over with open arms…
"Haha, old friend, we can fight side by side again this time."
Jeros smiled and hugged him, and on the surface they did indeed look like old friends who hadn't seen each other for many years.
"Have you found Ye Feng? What are your plans?"
"oh…"
Lavezzi pointed confidently to the footprints on the ground…
"I have a complete grasp of their route. Don't worry, he definitely won't escape this time."
As for the plan... hehe...
As he spoke, Lavezzi patted Gerald on the shoulder, a sinister smile playing on his lips.
"I was planning to follow him slowly and find an opportunity to launch a sneak attack, but now that I've seen you, brother, I've decided to act ahead of time."
Upon hearing this, Jeros frowned slightly; he had a vague sense of foreboding…
"what do you want to do?"
Lavezzi also stopped smiling and said softly:
"Doesn't that kid love playing those 'luring the enemy into a trap' tactics? Well then... let's try it out this time..."
