He took two steps at a time and almost fell to the ground.
Their exaggerated expressions were as if they had seen a ghost.
No one else dared to look, and they frantically fled backward.
The group only stopped after running more than twenty meters.
Ye Feng didn't even have time to catch his breath, and frantically looked himself over.
It looked like they were looking for something.
He wasn't this nervous when army ants crawled onto his calves a couple of days ago.
"Brother, what's going on? Is that tree poisonous?"
Fu Changxiong also began to look at himself with suspicion, but after looking around, he didn't find anything strange.
Ye Feng didn't reply to him. Instead, he walked to Qi Xiaojie's side, stretched out his hand, and slapped him hard on the head.
"You stutterer! You brat, you almost got us all killed!"
The sudden blow left Qi Xiaojie completely disoriented.
Seeing Ye Feng's furious glare, he realized that he might have made a big mistake.
Because Ye Feng had never been so angry with him before.
That tree is definitely poisonous, and quite poisonous at that.
"Brother Feng, I...I was wrong."
He rubbed his head, looked embarrassed, and apologized in a low voice.
"You little rascal, thank goodness you were smart enough not to eat that fruit, otherwise your sister would be digging your grave right now."
Upon hearing this, Qi Xiaoyan also asked in confusion:
"Brother Feng, what's that tree?"
"Poisonous guava tree."
Ye Feng blurted out, his face filled with lingering fear.
"This tree is also a member of the Euphorbiaceae family, and it's even more terrifying than the 'sounding box tree' we encountered before."
Its toxins are highly volatile and can enter the body through the skin and respiratory tract.
In other words, even just getting a drop on the skin or smelling it could lead to poisoning.
"You didn't get any of that white sap that dripped from the tree, did you?"
Upon hearing this, everyone checked each other again. Fortunately, all five of them had protective sleeves and no liquid had dripped onto them.
"Wow, what kind of weird and wonderful things are here?"
Fu Changxiong unconsciously tightened his backpack straps; he had been drooling over the fruit just moments before.
"Bro, what would happen if you got splashed with it?"
"If there are enough medical equipment and timely treatment, there will be no danger to life, but given our current situation, death is only a matter of time."
Ye Feng gradually calmed down and looked at the poisonous guava in the distance, lost in thought.
"The poison in this tree is rich in a variety of dangerous toxins."
Among them, the most harmful to our human body is a potential carcinogenic toxin called phorbol.
Their sap can cause intense pain and severe burns if it comes into contact with the skin.
If left untreated, it will eventually blister, rupture, and ooze pus.
In addition to the hot and humid environment and various germs here, we would most likely die from various disease infections.
His fruit is extremely poisonous; taking a bite is like swallowing a torch.
In addition to burning the throat and stomach, it will also cause severe vomiting and diarrhea, eventually leading to dehydration and death.
"Thank goodness it didn't rain today, otherwise rainwater getting on these fruits and then dripping onto our skin would also cause poisoning."
Ye Feng wiped the sweat from his forehead. They had only been out for half a day, and they had almost received a huge gift from this land.
Although he had developed a deep respect for the Amazon, the ever-present dangers there still left him vulnerable.
"Brother Feng, let's hurry up and go..."
Liu Sisi urged.
No rush.
Ye Feng immediately put down his backpack and took out the empty can that had previously contained snake venom.
"Risk and opportunity coexist; poison can kill us, but it can also kill our enemies."
Seeing his actions, Liu Sisi naturally guessed what he wanted to do.
"You...you're crazy! What if it drips on you...?"
Before he could finish speaking, Ye Feng pulled out the blue hat he had obtained from Kuito.
He had thought that wearing this thing while walking in the wild would obstruct his view of what was above him.
He wouldn't have brought it out if it weren't so light.
Unexpectedly, it came in handy at this time.
Ye Feng would not let go of any opportunity that could increase his chances of survival.
The sap of the poison guava tree is much more plentiful than that of the box guava tree.
At this point, it's essential to collect more, as they might come in very handy in the future.
"Sisi, find me any clothes."
Liu Sisi rummaged through the fabric for a while and only found two long pieces of cloth.
Because they needed to cover their fish-scale armor, each of them wore two layers of clothing, and now all that was left in their bags were some leftover fabric from before.
"This is all we have."
Ye Feng took the pieces of cloth, using one to cover his mouth and nose and the other to wrap around his left hand.
Then he adjusted the angle of the overhead camera and put his baseball cap on.
"You wait here, I'll be right back."
Be careful.
Ye Feng carefully inspected the sleeves, and after confirming that there was no obviously exposed skin, he drew his knife and quickly walked over.
He plunged the knife into the tree trunk and slashed downwards with force.
The milky white liquid dripped down very quickly. He hurriedly caught it in the jar.
Even though her hands were covered by a piece of cloth, she only dared to hold the bottom of the jar with two fingers, afraid of getting even a little bit of it on her.
He wasn't good at close combat to begin with, so having this was like having an extra weapon to save his life.
This thing is far more terrifying than a knife. It doesn't need to touch a wound; in a moment of crisis, you can just sprinkle it on someone's face when they're not looking.
Even a single drop entering the eye can cause immediate blindness.
It will react within 5 minutes of contact with the skin.
In addition, Ye Feng also planned to use it with arrows, which couldn't be more convenient.
Soon, the bark of the tree trunk that he could touch was covered with scratches.
The juices were almost completely dried up.
However, the venom in the jar weighed less than 100 grams, which was clearly insufficient.
So he called Fu Changxiong over and had Fu Changxiong carry him to continue searching upwards.
And so it went, until half an hour later…
The lower part of this waist-thick poisonous guava tree was covered with countless knife marks.
Juice is flowing everywhere...
Ye Feng looked at the half-full canister of venom, seemingly still wanting more.
If he had a ladder, he would like to make even more.
But there's no way around it; climbing trees can easily scratch the bark, and if you accidentally get it on your skin, it's really not worth it.
Besides, we still need to continue our journey this afternoon.
"Alright, Nobita, we can go now."
Upon hearing this, Fu Changxiong quickly put him down.
The two quickly left and rejoined the others.
"Quickly, quickly, bring out all your jars, I'll give you some life-saving measures."
Ye Feng roughly estimated that the collected venom weighed about four hundred grams.
