Naliga arrived here early this morning and has been waiting there even longer than they have...
As someone living in the outer jungle of the tribe, she knew the terrain better than anyone else.
Soon, she quietly retreated back to the tribe.
At this moment, Ye Feng was personally teaching Salra and Lia how to use a crossbow...
Because he hadn't used the crossbow during the last battle, all the arrows were still intact.
Since he had nothing better to do, he planned to give all the tools to the Baijia tribe after the game ended, and it would be good to teach them how to use them now.
He was also practicing archery. Every time he finished forging a new arrow, he would test it to avoid shooting errors during battle, which could be fatal.
"My lord! My lord!"
Naliga's childish voice rang out behind her as she ran, breathless.
Ye Feng quickly put down his bow and arrow, realizing something was wrong, and hurriedly called Salla to go meet them.
"What happened? Tell me slowly..."
After catching her breath, Nali pointed to the jungle behind them...
“I see him, Dato is over there.”
"Dato?" Ye Feng's eyes lit up immediately after hearing Salla's translation. This was truly an easy find; the person he was looking for was exactly who he was looking for.
Are you sure it's him?
Naliga nodded vigorously, her eyes filled with unmistakable hatred, and a hint of tears welled up in them...
"It's him! Two years ago, he brought those demons to our tribe and kidnapped my mother. I absolutely cannot mistake him!"
Upon hearing this, Ye Feng was slightly taken aback. He hadn't expected that these people had been involved in human trafficking for the past two years.
No wonder this tribe has so few people; it's just so pitiful for these motherless children...
Ye Feng didn't know how to comfort her, so he could only take a handful of dried meat from his bag and stuff it into Naliga's small hand, stroking her dirty head still covered in green leaves. He couldn't help but feel a pang of heartache...
"Don't worry... I promise you, I will definitely avenge your mother."
Naliga sniffed, her youthful, dark eyes gradually brightening...
"Thank you, sir. I will certainly do my best to fulfill your arrangements."
"Go..."
Naliga took the jerky and ran back...
Looking at that short and thin figure, Ye Feng shook his head helplessly and murmured softly...
"No wonder people hate human traffickers so much; they really deserve to die."
"What did you say, sir?" Salra didn't quite hear what he said and asked blankly.
Ye Feng composed himself and waved his hand...
"It's alright, go and call them all over, we're going to start our counterattack."
6 p.m.
The sun left only a sliver of its setting sun on the mountainside, the light dim and misty, while the jungle was basically plunged into night.
In the jungle to the east, Bai Ying, Zhang Tiannan, and some of their underlings had already been squatting there for about eight days.
Strangely, apart from the few guards in the sentry post, not a single Baija woman went out today, let alone arrest anyone.
Bai Ying couldn't help but wonder if Ye Feng knew she was here.
However, this speculation was short-lived, and she remained confident in her wilderness concealment skills.
Now, the guard post is at least fifty or sixty meters away, and everywhere is covered by grass, trees, and various vegetation.
Unless the other party has a thermal imaging camera, it is impossible to see clearly with the naked eye.
Moreover, the people in the sentry post didn't make any moves from beginning to end; these primitive people couldn't possibly be that alert.
As dusk approached, Bai Ying looked at Zhang Tiannan beside her...
"Go check if there's any situation on the other people's side. If there is, notify them immediately. If not, tell them to evacuate."
"Okay." Zhang Tiannan replied, then slowly moved his body backward and quickly disappeared into the jungle.
Once he was completely out of sight of the sentry post, he trudged quickly through the jungle, keeping a low profile.
He had originally planned to go south to take a look, but when he passed a patch of grass, he suddenly heard a noise.
Evening is the time when most large wild animals are most active.
Zhang Tiannan turned around sharply and immediately pinpointed the source of the sound.
It was about ten meters to my right rear. Looking up, I saw a thicket of bushes.
Visibility in the jungle was still very low at dusk, as if shrouded in a thin layer of black fog. With the vegetation covering the area, he could only vaguely make out some larger plant leaves.
But he dared not delay, and immediately took the wooden bow from his back and drew the arrow.
Before he could even release the arrow, another tremor came from the bushes, but the sound wasn't coming towards him; it was getting further and further away.
As they moved out of the shallower part of the bushes, a small head suddenly peeked out from within—it was one of Ye Feng's sentries, Nalimi...
Perhaps she was dizzy from being turned around and didn't know which way to go, so the moment she emerged, she made eye contact with Zhang Tiannan.
Ye Feng had seen the information with her. She had the best night vision in the Baijia tribe, so she could see Zhang Tiannan's appearance at a glance. This person was an enemy.
She immediately took off running...
Zhang Tiannan didn't get a clear look at her face, but he could tell from her thin and short build that she was a child.
He had met all of Dato's men; they were all strong, healthy adults of the Shuar tribe, with no children.
Then this person must be a member of the Baijia tribe.
Zhang Tiannan, unsure if the child had discovered their hiding place, quickly put away his arrows and began a frantic chase.
Nali Mei's face was filled with panic. The other party was Wendigo, the Wendigo that even Lord Ye Feng was afraid of.
In a panic, she began to run wildly westward...
Despite stumbling several times, Zhang Tiannan continued to pursue relentlessly, but strangely... his pursuit did not shorten the distance between him and Nali Mei; on the contrary, it widened the gap.
Narim had lived here for several months and knew every tree and blade of grass in the vicinity like the back of her hand. Coupled with her excellent night vision, she quickly shook off her pursuers.
"Ouch!" Zhang Tiannan tripped over a vine again and fell to the ground. When he got up, he couldn't even see Nali Mei anymore.
"Consider yourself lucky!" It was dark and the road was slippery; the path in the jungle was difficult to traverse, so he had no choice but to give up now.
On the other side, Dato and Dak, who had been lying in the grass for nearly 7 hours, had reached their limit.
Just when they thought it was all over, a fire suddenly broke out at the outpost in the distance.
The two of them, who had just stood up, immediately squatted down again...
Within a minute, four men carrying torches arrived at the sentry post...
Soon, the people inside the guardhouse climbed down the ladder.
Dato was overjoyed, thinking these people would come out at this time. He nudged Dak next to him.
"Let's go, it's just a shift change, they won't be stupid enough to go out at this hour."
"Wait!" Dak suddenly grabbed Dato's finger and pointed to the figure below the sentry post... "Look, isn't that the TCM doctor from Ye Feng's team?"
"Hmm?" Dato quickly rubbed his eyes, and upon closer inspection, he indeed discovered something amiss.
Bai Ying showed him information about Ye Feng and several others, and gave him a detailed introduction. He had also seen them during the battle the day before yesterday.
Moreover, Zhan Pengfei was wearing a gray short-sleeved t-shirt, and he was the only one in Ye Feng's team to wear this color.
So, by the light of the torch, he recognized Zhan Pengfei at a glance.
"Well... I didn't expect him to have to stand guard. Fine, at least my hard work today wasn't for nothing."
Dato rubbed his hands together excitedly, already eager to try it out.
Bai Ying originally intended for him to simply capture a few women from the Baijia tribe, but now that a key member of Ye Feng's team had arrived, things were even better.
Dak, who was standing nearby, quickly reminded him, "Dato, are you going up now? That house is so high, how are we going to get up there? And didn't that woman tell us to notify her immediately after we found someone?"
"Notify me my ass!" Dato slapped him on the head.
"Who does she think she is! Why should I notify her when I'm doing something? Besides, she's right across from us, so far away. What if the sentry spots us if we go to notify her?"
We can handle this number of people ourselves. Do you want to stay here all night again?!
Dark scratched his head and didn't refute... "Then tell me, how do we get up there? I estimate that room must be over 4 meters high."
What if we alert them and they signal the women inside to come out and attack us?
Dato thought about it for a moment and realized it made sense...
He quickly bent over and ran to the left, glancing at the sentry post every now and then, afraid of being exposed.
In less than three minutes, he arrived at a patch of vegetation, and his two henchmen immediately poked their heads out from inside.
"Captain, is it time to retreat?"
Dato crouched down and whispered, "No, our target has appeared, and they've changed shifts. Go and notify the brothers nearby right now, and while you're at it, cut down a couple of trees, grab some rope, and make a wooden ladder. We're about to make our move."
The two underlings didn't ask any more questions and quickly scattered and ran away.
They brought plenty of tools, such as machetes, axes, and ropes, which were all kept in their bags.
Wooden ladders are not difficult to make; they had plenty of wood left over from building the shelter today, and all they needed to do was tie the steps together.
They had enough manpower, so they worked quickly. In just over ten minutes, a dozen or so henchmen carried the wooden ladder and joined Dato and his companion.
There were 13 of them in total, and they split into two teams and headed toward the outpost.
The jungle was now completely dark, and the firelight at the sentry post had long since died out. Clearly, Zhan Pengfei and his three companions had climbed up to the sentry post.
Having spent the entire day staking out this spot, Dato had memorized the location perfectly...
In addition, the distance wasn't far, so even in the dark, he could accurately locate the position...
Soon, his team approached the area below the sentry post, one after the other...
The process went extremely smoothly, and Dato even felt that the sentry post was practically useless, as the people on it did not make any move.
If I had known it would be like this, I would have just arrested those guards during the day, so I wouldn't have had to squat in the grass all day for nothing.
Thinking about it, they had already arrived at the tree, and only when they got closer did they realize... a wooden ladder was placed openly under the tree.
"They didn't even take away the ladder?" Dato felt a surge of joy. It seemed that these people weren't as clever as Bai Ying had said.
He immediately waved to the people around him, and the 13 men began to tiptoe up the ladder to the sentry post.
But the moment the first person stepped onto the ladder, the entrance to the treehouse above suddenly opened...
Zhan Pengfei was smiling broadly, holding a torch and waving to Dato and the others below...
"Hey! What's up, bro? Good evening, what's up?"
At that moment, Dato and the others met Zhan Pengfei's gaze, their hearts tightening instantly, the atmosphere extremely awkward...
Suddenly I realized... there were indeed many illogical things about this... how could Zhan Pengfei possibly come to do guard duty in the middle of the night? The key point is that he even generously placed the ladder under the tree.
Dato felt a pang of regret and immediately realized he had been tricked.
"Hurry up!" he shouted, and started running back.
Before they could even run a few steps, a burst of flames suddenly erupted around them...
Several people holding torches surrounded them, and by the light of the torches, Dato immediately spotted Ye Feng, who was smiling and staring at him.
In the dim firelight, Ye Feng's smile appeared sinister and ferocious.
Standing beside him were Salra and Lia, both women glaring at him angrily, their mouths puffed out, looking as if they wanted to kill him as soon as possible.
The others were all people Ye Feng had seen during the battle that day; they were all his companions, and of course... there were also Salra and Lia, whom he had always wanted to capture.
"Ye... Ye Feng!" Dato was so frightened that he lost his composure, his face turned pale, and he couldn't help but take two steps back.
