It wasn't until nearly 5:30 p.m. that the four of them helped each other leave the grassy area with traps.
At this moment, each of them was covered in bruises.
Besides being pricked by splinters, there were many bloody cuts on his face and body.
It was clearly scratched by thorns.
Jeros limped as he stared at the grassy field, his hatred for Ye Feng surging to its peak.
In the past, he had carried out missions large and small, and even in wars, and had always escaped unscathed.
Now they've fallen into some simple traps, and the worst part is that the other party hasn't even shown their face yet.
This is an absolute disgrace...
"Ye Feng, don't let me run into you!"
He secretly vowed to himself that even if it weren't for the big prize, he would definitely kill this Chinese man.
Otherwise, once the game is over, how will I survive in the mercenary world?
He snorted coldly, then led everyone away.
It's impossible to catch up with Ye Feng today; he needs to find anti-inflammatory herbs as soon as possible.
The thing on that splinter must be something special; it needs to be disinfected as soon as possible.
At the same time, the prize pool has also increased to 5250.
In that instant, all the other pursuers noticed the change.
The Okuga team to the east, the Zekin team to the west, the Vitnier team to the south, and the Cheng Haojun team to the north.
They all saw the increase in amount at the same time.
Since the start of the game, they have been assigned to different areas and directions.
Of course, these people never even considered cooperating.
Mercenaries want money, the more the better...
They only considered Ye Feng as their prize, not only because they didn't want others to get their hands on the grand prize, but also because they were afraid of someone sabotaging them from behind.
Everyone tacitly agreed to chase after them in the same direction.
This sudden increase in the amount only solidified their belief.
Because they all knew that Ye Feng was running away, and might have already run ten kilometers away.
How could he possibly turn back to kill someone?
Then there's only one possibility: the competitors have started killing each other in order to accumulate rewards or seize weapons and supplies.
Ye Feng's trap had an unexpected effect.
The pursuers are now wary and suspicious of each other. Although there are supposedly 47 people, they are all acting independently and harboring their own ulterior motives.
As long as they don't unite, it's a good thing for Ye Feng.
However, Ye Feng and his companions naturally had no idea what these people were thinking.
At this moment, Ye Feng and his group of eight were still working hard to paddle their boat.
While traveling by water would be faster, the Amazon has just too many branches.
You might be forced to take a detour if you're not careful.
If they are caught up, they have no way to avoid it on the water, which will greatly reduce their maneuverability.
Ye Feng's numerous close-combat weapons were also rendered unusable.
Most importantly... humans are, after all, land animals, and entrusting one's life entirely to a raft is something that makes one uneasy.
Ye Feng opened the map and zoomed in, only to find it was covered with river markers.
The intricate and convoluted design, coupled with the extremely simplified sketch, is dazzling to behold.
"This won't do; we'll get lost sooner or later if we keep going like this."
"By then, we might be even further from our destination."
He sighed inwardly and, after thinking for a while, decided to take the main road.
The big goal has been set: to lead all the companions successfully and without taking any damage to win the grand prize.
Speedrunning is the only option left...
"Brother Feng, have you looked at the prize pool?"
Qi Xiaoyan had arrived beside him without him even noticing.
"Um…"
Ye Feng simply nodded. The deaths of only two people wouldn't help the current situation much.
Moreover, the person who died on the first day must have been just a nobody.
At this moment, Liu Sisi walked up to him and asked:
"Brother Feng, do you think... it might be that the traps we dug worked?"
"Yes, that's possible."
Ye Feng had already guessed that the map refresh time had passed today, and Chou Chou would definitely tell those people his direction.
Otherwise, I would have an extra day to travel.
They had put a lot of effort into those traps, and Ye Feng was confident that as long as they didn't encounter any of the top ten villains, those traps should be able to kill two people without much trouble.
Looking at the upper left corner of the watch screen, which still showed 45 people, Ye Feng couldn't help but shake his head.
The pressure is just too much. I'll wait until the map updates tomorrow at noon.
The pursuers will see their exact location, and only then will the battle royale truly begin.
"We'll take turns rowing until midnight tonight, and we'll try to get to this place and disembark by tomorrow afternoon."
Ye Feng gathered everyone together and pointed to a corner of the map.
After determining the general location, specific tasks were assigned to everyone.
To move forward at full speed, the eight people were divided into two groups.
There are exactly four paddles. Each group paddles for an hour and then changes paddles. It's just a small amount of paddles, so people can take turns resting, but the raft must never stop.
They ate plenty of calories in the afternoon, and everyone's stomachs were bulging, giving them plenty of energy.
And so, the sound of rowing never stopped on the seemingly calm river.
The group chanted slogans and moved in unison, making the raft much faster than before.
Viewed from the side, at its fastest speed it's equivalent to a girl jogging.
It's at least three times faster than when they walk on the main road.
Before they knew it, night had fallen. The group lit torches and continued paddling until the early hours of the morning.
Only when Ye Feng called a halt did everyone lie down on the raft with a sigh of relief.
After nearly six hours of paddling, everyone's arms were aching terribly and they were drenched in sweat.
They had never imagined that just swinging oars could be so tiring.
I had already been traveling for two days, and my clothes were soaked with sweat, sticky and cakey.
At this moment, it is even more firmly stuck to the skin.
It's like sweating profusely in the middle of summer, lying on a bamboo mat, and then getting up after the sweat has dried, only to find yourself stuck to the mat.
It makes a tearing sound, and that feeling is incredibly uncomfortable.
"You guys..."
Ye Feng pointed at Tang Weiwei and the other three...
"Go back to your rafts and get some sleep. We still have a long journey ahead tomorrow."
Tang Weiwei paused for two seconds, opened her mouth as if to speak, but hesitated, nodded in agreement, and then prepared to go back.
He had originally planned to take a shower, but after thinking about it, he decided against it, trying not to cause any trouble.
However, Zhan Pengwu couldn't keep his mouth shut and blurted it out.
"Hey bro, you're all sweaty and uncomfortable. How about... we go take a bath in the river?"
"I promise, I'll get up as soon as I get wet, I definitely won't stay any longer."
"What did you say!?"
Ye Feng stared wide-eyed at Zhan Pengwu with disbelief, as if he were looking at a fool.
