Because this piece of fabric is the same short-sleeved shirt that Lia is wearing.
There must have been a battle here.
But who would attack an indigenous girl?
Didn't I kill almost all of those bounty hunters that day?
"Could it be... Bai Ying and Zhang Tiannan?"
Just as he was thinking this, Zhan Pengwu returned with the arrows.
"Hey! Bro, this arrow...it looks like one of ours! Something must have happened to Liya!"
His words made even the usually optimistic Salla cover her mouth in shock.
She had always believed that Lia would definitely find the tribe, but now her face was full of worry.
Liya was a member of his tribe whom he had finally found. If something really happened to her, he would have no relatives left.
"My lord..." Her voice trembled as she grabbed Ye Feng's arm, her eyes filled with tears.
"Lia will be alright, right?"
Ye Feng patted her hand reassuringly...
"Don't rush. As long as we see Lia's body, she is still alive."
As he spoke, he took the arrow that Zhan Pengwu handed him.
The arrow above still had some black sticky film on it.
Ye Feng naturally recognized it as the extracted toxin from the Chinese artichoke vine. After this period of fighting, the toxin had long since evaporated.
Even the black film on it was almost completely worn away, so it must be my own arrow.
"Everyone, search the area. Wherever there's a fight, there will definitely be traces left behind."
The crowd quickly dispersed and began searching the vicinity again.
However, none of them noticed that just a hundred meters away, pairs of eyes were already fixed on them.
Dato held a monocular telescope in his hand, spying on Ye Feng and the others.
It's called a monocular, but it's actually just half of a pair of binoculars, and there are even a few tiny scratches on the lens.
The telescope body also has many mottled stains, I don't know where it was bought second-hand.
A moment later, he handed the binoculars to Bai Ying with a sly grin.
"Wow, that's some amazing high technology. Salra is indeed by Ye Feng's side, but I haven't seen that Lia."
"Uh... never mind, when do we make our move?"
Bai Ying clenched her teeth, staring at Ye Feng's profile as if she wanted to devour him alive right now.
His own team lost three comrades-in-arms of many years, while Ye Feng's team remained intact.
How could she not be furious...?
However, she knew that she couldn't be hasty if she wanted to kill this man.
"Not yet, my men haven't returned yet."
This Ye Feng is very cunning; we must kill him in one fell swoop.
Remember, you should make him your primary target later, followed by Zhan Pengwu and Tang Weiwei.
"Once those three are dead, the rest will be easy to deal with."
No sooner had she finished speaking than a strange movement came from the bushes beside her.
In less than a minute, Zhang Tiannan arrived with several locals.
Their clothes were covered in leaves, clearly indicating that they had just crawled through some vegetation.
"How was it?" Bai Ying asked impatiently...
Zhang Tiannan nodded... "Everything is set up, we can get started."
"Okay!" Bai Ying looked at Ye Feng, her fists clenched. She then turned to look at Dato and the others...
"Proceed according to plan, and remember to coat all the arrowheads with poison."
Dato didn't argue. He had no experience fighting Asians, so it was better to listen to the mercenaries.
After giving a few instructions, Dato waved his hand, and his underlings scattered in all directions.
They were all bound with vines, and even their faces were painted green.
To be fair, this cheap ghillie suit is actually quite usable in the jungle.
The group of more than 60 people split into four teams and moved through the grass. Unless you got close enough to check, you could only see the grass swaying slightly.
Clearly, these bounty hunters had undergone some training in order to capture women from other races.
Dato and Dak's team were in front of them, slowly crawling closer to Ye Feng and his group.
Bai Ying and Zhang Tiannan then slowly circled around to the rear of Ye Feng and the others.
Although they didn't go looking for Ye Feng during the past week, they had been keeping an eye on his movements.
Since they started their journey yesterday, Bai Ying and Dato's group have been chasing after them.
Having determined the route, Bai Ying arrived here before Ye Feng.
She knew very well that she couldn't possibly be a match for Ye Feng when it came to scheming and plotting.
Only by overwhelming the enemy with sheer numbers can one have a chance.
These natives were naturally no match for mercenaries in terms of fighting ability, but as the saying goes, even two fists can't beat four hands, and even a lot of ants can kill an elephant.
There are now 64 people in total, including them, while Ye Feng only has 9. Among them are 3 women and a man who has difficulty walking.
Ye Feng doesn't know how to fight in close combat. Even if 10 natives die in exchange for one enemy, and with his side launching a surprise attack first, the chances of taking them down are about 80%.
However, to ensure everything goes smoothly, Bai Ying still plans to cut off the opponent's retreat route first.
Because of the great distance and the fact that the area was extremely good at concealing itself, Ye Feng and his companions were completely unaware of what was happening.
But when Dato and Dak crawled to within 30 meters of him, Mao Mao and Da Wang suddenly started barking wildly.
"Whoa whoa whoa!! Whoa whoa!"
Even with waist-high plants for cover, the swaying of the grass while crawling is unavoidable, and howler monkeys' perception during the day is about three times that of humans.
Because the two monkeys were standing on Ye Feng's shoulders, he was the first to react.
He could naturally understand the meaning behind the voice.
"Everyone on alert! Something's nearby!"
With a loud shout, everyone quickly took down their bows and arrows from their backs.
Just then, a voice that sounded like a command came from the bushes not far away.
"Then check it out!!"
As soon as Dato uttered his high-pitched voice, a deafening and orderly sound suddenly rang out from all directions around Ye Feng and the others.
"Ooh ooh ooh!"
The sound wasn't a monkey's cry, but a human voice.
A group of brown-skinned natives, carrying various tools such as bows and arrows and with cloth bags tied around their waists, came from all directions, appearing both modern and primitive.
This immediately threw Ye Feng and the others into a panic.
They had never encountered so many natives in this land before.
Just as Ye Feng was still confused about the situation, Salra, standing to the side, clenched her teeth, her face contorted with rage.
She was arrested by these people a year ago, so how could she not recognize them?
"Be careful, sir! They are Wendigos from the Shuar tribe!"
Upon hearing this, Ye Feng's eyebrows shot up instantly, his expression a mixture of bewilderment and terror.
Didn't I wipe out all those bounty hunters a while ago? Could another group have appeared? But how did they find this place?
He had many questions in his mind, but he didn't have time to think about them... Judging from the way these people were running towards him with knives, they were clearly up to no good.
"Don't let them come over!"
