Fu Changxiong's words surprised Ye Feng. It was quite unexpected to hear them from him. He then smiled and asked:
"Oh? Why?"
"It's very simple..."
Fu Changxiong replied:
"When I was in the army, I chatted with a brother from the special forces."
During their every wilderness survival training session, especially jungle warfare missions.
They certainly wouldn't leave such an obvious flaw, because that could be discovered by the enemy and lead to their exposure.
I think even if mercenaries are not as good as regular soldiers, they probably wouldn't make such a basic mistake.
Kuz said it himself, Cheng Haojun and Okuga's teams are all top-tier veteran mercenaries.
"Hehehe..."
Ye Feng smiled and gave Fu Changxiong an approving thumbs-up.
"Good, good, even Nobita has learned to use his brain. Monk, you should learn from him."
Zhan Pengwu gave an awkward smile…
Fu Changxiong's analysis was indeed reasonable, and Ye Feng agreed with it.
But even if it's not the first or second place team, aren't the others equally dangerous?
Ye Feng never underestimates his opponents or is careless.
"We must find out their numbers, weapon configuration, and the direction of their ambush. No matter which team it is, they are all the enemy."
Let's move forward a bit and see how it goes, but keep things quiet and be vigilant.
Ye Feng carefully searched the ground for footprints. After a long journey through mountains and rivers, there was a group of at least four or five people in the opposite direction. It was impossible for them not to leave traces while traveling.
So he followed these faint clues and began his journey, trying to obtain more useful information.
In fact, this was the route he was originally going to take.
Sure enough, not long after he walked, he found some white debris among the leaves on the ground.
Because of the rain, the crumbs were completely soaked and turned into a soft, mushy mess. You could tell by squeezing them with your hands that they were crumbs from compressed biscuits.
It seems the other person is eating very quickly, which is useful information.
This means the other person is definitely not far away, and they still have the mood to eat after knowing your specific route.
This is to replenish our energy so we can go all out!
Ye Feng began to calmly analyze the situation…
Since the other side has already caught up with him, they are unwilling to use this precious hour on the map to launch an attack.
There can only be one reason: the other party is afraid.
They hesitated to act because they were afraid of losing or being killed in return.
Of course, it's also possible that several groups bumped into each other and started fighting amongst themselves.
However, the chances are slim, since we are their common enemy.
If they were to actually meet, none of us are fools. The amount hasn't increased due to infighting for so long, so it's highly unlikely that such a situation would occur.
Money is their common goal.
In that sense, the current situation is actually a good thing for Ye Feng.
He at least gained one important piece of information: the enemy's numbers were definitely small, and they probably didn't have many long-range offensive weapons either.
And they must be lying in ambush somewhere.
Ye Feng hated this sense of the unknown, yet he had to face the impending danger.
His mind raced, searching for a way to annihilate his opponent without taking any damage and with minimal risk.
However, this is simply impossible.
With oneself in the open and the other party in the shadows, the initiative has been lost.
Taking a detour might be more dangerous; what if other teams arrive later?
Moreover, this forest is so vast that he has no idea where the other party might be hiding in ambush.
After much thought, I realized that the situation was far more complicated than I had imagined.
As they were thinking, the group walked for another five or six minutes.
"Ye Feng, look!"
Tang Weiwei's voice suddenly interrupted his thoughts.
Ye Feng looked up and saw half a snake's head faintly visible in the muddy ground wet with rain.
It must have been buried underground, but perhaps it wasn't buried securely enough, so it was washed away by rain.
He immediately used his foot to shovel away the soil, revealing the snake's head intact.
Everyone could tell at a glance that this was definitely man-made.
Liu Sisi touched the snake's head with her toe, and the snake immediately opened its mouth wide, revealing its venomous fangs...
However, the movements were very slow, as if he didn't have much strength left.
"Oh... the snake's head is still moving. It must have passed by not long ago. Looks like they're tired of eating compressed biscuits."
Ye Feng stared at the snake's head for a few seconds, as if he had gleaned a lot of useful information from it.
"Heh...maybe it's not one team at all, but two or three."
Everyone was puzzled, and Liu Sisi immediately asked:
"Brother Feng, did you figure something out?"
Ye Feng nodded, stepped on the front of the snake's head, and lifted up the wound on the snake's neck.
“Look at this wound. Half of the snake’s blood would have dried in 5 to 10 minutes, but this blood has completely congealed.”
A snake can probably live for another hour after its head is chopped off.
And the snake seems to still be reacting to the step you just took.
But upon closer inspection, one can see that its movements are slow and its pupils are rolled back, indicating that this snake will soon die.
Therefore, a simple estimation of the time reveals that the snake had been dead for at least 40 minutes.
After he finished speaking, everyone was completely confused...
How long has this snake been dead, and what is its connection to the ambush team?
But before they could ask, Ye Feng casually kicked the snake's head away and continued explaining...
"We tracked this place based on the crumbs of compressed biscuits and some scattered footprints. We didn't find any traces of going back and forth."
And since they were planning to ambush us, they clearly knew that killing us would end the game.
How could they still be in the mood to kill the snake? And handle it so casually? What does this tell us?
Everyone looked puzzled and remained silent, exchanging glances as if they couldn't understand what Ye Feng was trying to say.
Zhan Pengwu scratched his head...
"Hey buddy, just tell me straight."
Ye Feng shook his head, feeling that he had explained himself so clearly, yet they still didn't understand.
"Ah! I understand!"
Just as he was about to explain, Liu Sisi, who had been deep in thought, suddenly realized something.
"That group of people came from this road. And this snake had been dead for a long time, clearly ahead of them."
In other words, the snake wasn't killed by them, but by someone else.
Besides the group eating compressed biscuits, are there other people around here?!
Upon hearing this, everyone subconsciously looked around.
Ye Feng nodded in agreement, but also with a sense of helplessness; he didn't really want to accept this outcome.
However, from a rational analysis perspective, this outcome is the most likely.
