After the two had completely treated their wounds, they were covered in blood.
Several dead insects were lying on the ground.
This parasite dies quickly once it leaves its host.
The two men were leaning against the tree trunk, their faces covered in sweat.
Although the parasites had been removed, the long journey and minor blood loss had brought them to the brink of physical and mental collapse.
Henry's feelings were very complicated.
He hated Ye Feng, but at the same time he admired Ye Feng.
An ordinary, unremarkable person managed to lead a group of fools through the jungle for so long without getting sick.
This can only be described as a survival master.
Moreover, he had always been puzzled as to why Ye Feng hadn't chosen a shorter route.
In retrospect, it must be said that this young Chinese man was indeed very prescient.
Could they possibly turn the tables and wipe out the pursuing team without their own men getting hurt?
This is not something an ordinary person could do.
But what he didn't know was that... Ye Feng had always wanted to take this path.
However, at that time, all of them were affected by the magnetic field, and almost all of them suffered from dizziness as a lingering effect.
The road was overgrown with vegetation, making it easy to fall into an ambush. In addition, there were two girls in the group, so they decided to play it safe.
"Hmph... King of the Jungle, it seems you are indeed quite formidable..."
Henry was inwardly praising him, but his fists were clenched so tightly they cracked.
He has no choice now; killing Ye Feng is the only way out.
Thinking of this, he could no longer sit still. Ye Feng was getting closer and closer to the finish line, and time was running out.
Henry immediately stood up…
"Get up quickly, we don't have time to rest."
"ah?"
Leixi, who was so tired that she was about to fall asleep, slowly opened her eyes.
"Can't we rest a little longer? We'll die if we keep going."
Henry, frustrated and disappointed, kicked him.
"Didn't you look at the map today? He's right behind us, he'll probably be here soon."
You don't think that Ugly Guy is joking with us, do you?
Let me tell you, I've watched this show quite a few times. The watches we wear have poison needles.
"If the mission is not completed, all pursuers will surely die!"
Upon hearing this, Rexy, supporting himself on the ground, reluctantly and with difficulty stood up as well.
"But...we've been walking for so long, where are we going to find those two teams?"
Henry looked at the map. Ye Feng's team now had 9 people, and their weapons, equipment, and number of people were the best and most numerous among all the teams.
In this situation, Cheng Haojun and Okuga would definitely not engage in a direct confrontation.
An ambush can only be set up on the only route that the enemy will take.
"Let's go! Follow Ye Feng's route, they must be there!"
After saying that, the two staggered on their way...
There is a route, but... this jungle is so big, there are so many places to hide and ambush, how can we find it?
As expected, the two walked until dusk, but still did not see a single footprint or trace of human activity.
This is not surprising, of course, as they concealed their footprints when they ambushed Ye Feng yesterday.
As level 9 mercenaries, how could Cheng Haojun and Okuga not know?
However, the two were exhausted at this point, each holding a palm heart in their hand, chewing it weakly.
They moved forward with weak steps, like zombies, their eyes half-closed.
But the body has its limits.
Soon, Rexie's legs suddenly gave way, and he collapsed to the ground.
"I...I can't go on, I really can't walk anymore."
He weakly waved the half-eaten palm heart in his hand at Henry...
Henry rushed over to check on him and breathed a sigh of relief when he found that the man was just exhausted.
Henry didn't scold him, after all, his physical condition as a mercenary was almost at its limit.
For an ordinary person like Rexy to have made it this far is already quite remarkable.
He dragged Ressie to a tree to rest, and then sat down himself.
Exhausted and battered, the two gradually succumbed to drowsiness...
Lacey was the first to fall asleep, and within two minutes, he was snoring.
Henry tried his best to keep his eyes open and stay awake.
It was almost 5 a.m., and he knew all too well how terrifying the nights in the Amazon could be.
If I fall asleep like this, I probably won't even know how I died tonight.
But he was really too tired; this drowsiness came from both physical and mental strain.
Despite pinching and hitting himself, he still couldn't resist.
And just as he was about to close his eyes...
"Squeak squeak squeak!"
A flock of birds took flight not far away, their cries rising in all directions... and afterimages darted through the dark forest.
Henry's heart tightened instantly, and he forced his eyes open...
He quickly picked up his bow and arrows, stood up, and looked around.
It is dusk, the time when most large animals come out.
The only creature capable of making a flock of birds fly together, besides humans, is a wild beast.
"Awoo!!"
Just then, a sharp scream suddenly came from his 1 o'clock direction!
The sound was somewhat similar to that of a tiger, but its tone was very high-pitched, and it also sounded a bit like the screams of zombies in movies.
It made him shudder and shiver.
"Fuck!"
Henry cursed loudly. He never expected to be so unlucky as to run into the last thing he wanted to see: a feline.
"Rexy! Wake up, you bastard! Someone's going to die!"
He kicked Ressie awake from her dream with a few kicks.
Lacey opened her sleepy eyes, glanced at him impatiently, and made no move to get up…
"What are you doing? I'm not leaving! You can leave by yourself..."
"Awoo!"
"Well!"
Before he could finish speaking, the howling sound echoed through the forest once again.
The sudden, eerie scream startled him awake. He immediately stood up, grabbed his bow, and began searching for the source of the scream.
He had never heard this voice before, but it was the kind that could make anyone's hair stand on end.
"Henry, what kind of wild animal is that? It doesn't sound like a jaguar."
The two stood back to back, moving slowly and turning in circles.
Henry's pupils darted around, and a serious expression could still be seen beneath his dark skin.
"If I'm not mistaken, this should be a cougar, which is almost on par with a jaguar."
"Will it eat people?"
"They are very timid, only their cries are frightening. They generally don't target people."
Upon hearing this, Lei Xi breathed a sigh of relief, and his expression softened considerably.
However, when he turned his head, Henry was still looking around with a gloomy expression.
"Wait a minute, if it's not interested in us at all, why are you so nervous?"
