"If we had known it would be like this, we should have just gone straight in. Maybe we could have killed one or two of them."
What kind of sneak attack was that? It resulted in some people dying and others being wounded.
His implication was clear: Horford, as the leader, made problematic decisions and should bear primary responsibility.
Horford has no intention of taking the blame for this.
Although he also favored ambushes, it was Watanabe who made the suggestion.
So they definitely won't admit it verbally.
He was actually feeling just as frustrated as he was.
As a former member of the Navy's combat team, in terms of combat power, he was someone Ye Feng could easily kill with both hands.
But you can't even touch the other person; there's no chance to make a move at all.
"What can we do if we don't ambush them? You saw that the enemy has four bows."
Zhan Pengwu is right next to that kid. Do you think you can definitely beat him if you go head-to-head?
"Maybe none of us will come back today."
After saying that, the three of them hung their heads dejectedly, and another silence fell...
It wasn't until more than a minute later that they realized the reality of their failure.
Ye Feng's first place is indeed similar to what Watanabe said.
Aside from his mediocre archery skills, he doesn't possess much combat ability, but he is adept at using underhanded tactics and has extensive knowledge of survival.
Fighting him felt like punching cotton.
The other party doesn't take the bait at all, and if you're not careful, you might be caught off guard by some kind of underhanded trick.
The three of them felt this deeply at that moment.
After a moment, Samperm spoke:
"What do we do now? With just the three of us, it's probably impossible to win the grand prize."
Horford irritably touched his bald head. For someone who had always discriminated against people of Asian descent…
Losing to a Chinese person who is nearly ten years younger than oneself is an utter disgrace.
But we have to face the current situation and it's time to consider what to do next.
"No matter what, for freedom and the grand prize, we must kill Ye Feng."
Now we can only wait for that guy Cairnster. The jungle is his home turf, and probably only he has the ability to do it.
Horford was very unwilling, but there was nothing he could do about it.
This battle made him see reality clearly: Ye Feng, the Chinese man he had looked down upon.
Even if they themselves don't have much fighting ability, the opponent has more people and more tools, and is good at using dirty tricks.
If you want to kill them, you'll have to wait for a professional to come.
He looked at the roof covered with palm leaves and began to re-evaluate his opponent, Ye Feng.
Early the next morning—
Today is the 54th day of the game. Just as dawn was breaking, Ye Feng opened his sleepy eyes.
It was obvious that he wasn't fully awake yet.
Last night, everyone worked until the early hours of the morning, and all forty-three arrows were finally completed.
In addition to the five original arrows confiscated last night, and his own arrows.
There were a total of 82 arrows…
Of course, there were also more than twenty wooden arrows, but they couldn't be used with compound bows, and recurve bows were unreliable, so they weren't included in the count.
These 82 arrows alone are enough for them.
After checking and confirming that there were no major problems, Ye Feng pinched the long, black object in the corner again.
The raw materials for the tinderbox were baked for nearly two hours last night, and then naturally air-dried overnight.
It's hard and dry now, and it feels like dried cow dung.
He couldn't wait to stuff it into the bone tube.
Fortunately, I measured carefully last night, and the exact amount was just right, and the whole piece of raw material was stuffed in securely.
Ye Feng lit a fire and poked the tinder into it.
Within two seconds of contact, a flame ignited at the tip of the tinderbox.
It's about the size of a lighter flame.
But he was not overjoyed, because a tinderbox is meant to be used as soon as possible.
If it could only burn once, it wouldn't be a tinderbox, but a torch.
So he put the lid on.
"You must succeed! You absolutely must succeed!"
He clasped his hands together, like a devout believer praying to Buddha, and bowed deeply while holding the tinderbox.
This was a crucial life-saving weapon, the result of his hard work all night; failure would be too disheartening.
After a short while, once the flames had died down, Ye Feng, filled with excitement, slowly opened the lid again.
Watching the glowing sparks at the top, then gently blowing on it…
"call…"
A wisp of fire rose again, almost instantly.
This means that the tinderbox was of very high quality and exceeded his expectations.
"Hahaha! It seems that the cannonball juice and lard are really effective! Haha!"
He was so excited that he burst out laughing, which woke everyone up.
Tang Weiwei and Zhan Pengwu were startled awake almost immediately, and instinctively reached for their knives.
People who practice martial arts have a much stronger stress response than the average person.
Especially for two people like them who have experienced multiple sneak attacks.
They both breathed a sigh of relief when they realized it was Ye Feng who made the sound.
"What are you laughing about so early in the morning?"
Tang Weiwei sheathed the knife and rubbed her eyes.
"Look!"
Ye Feng proudly stretched out his hand and placed the tinderbox in front of everyone.
After putting the lid on, I repeated the previous steps.
Seeing the flames flicker again after they had been extinguished, everyone immediately woke up from their drowsiness.
"Wow!"
"Brother Feng, you did it!"
"You actually did it!"
"Wow, that's awesome, bro."
...
Everyone quickly crowded around, excitedly and curiously exclaiming, like children who had discovered a new toy.
"As expected, mastering math, physics, and chemistry means you can go anywhere in the world without fear. You're truly something..."
Tang Weiwei gave Ye Feng a thumbs up, which was rare for her.
But only for a moment, and then worry returned to his face.
"However... while melee combat can save your life, what if the opponent uses ranged attacks?"
"If you can't find Cairnster's location, your fire won't reach him."
This remark was rather unpleasant, and everyone's smiles vanished instantly.
Yes, the enemy hides in the shadows while we are in the open, putting us in a perpetually passive position...
Having many life-saving weapons may not be enough to stop the enemy's long-range sneak attack.
As the saying goes, it's easy to dodge a spear in the open, but hard to guard against an arrow in the dark.
In a life-or-death struggle, the one who gains the initiative undoubtedly has the greatest chance of winning.
Ye Feng nodded in agreement, but his expression was not as serious as the others.
"I do have a solution, though it's not really a solution."
Everyone was slightly taken aback. Tang Weiwei didn't understand what she meant, but she immediately asked:
What method is it?
Ye Feng put away the tinderbox and closed the lid.
“We can’t really track Cairnster’s whereabouts, but I know where Horford’s camp is.”
Tang Weiwei raised an eyebrow, excited but also understanding what he meant.
"Hmm, that works too. Killing Horford and his men first will reduce the number of opponents."
"It's better than doing nothing and waiting for someone to come knocking on our door. When should we take action?"
Ye Feng pursed his lips and remained silent for a few seconds…
