4 p.m.
The group entered a recessed area.
Upon closer inspection, the area appears to be V-shaped.
Ye Feng and his group stood in the middle of the groove.
Both sides were small slopes covered with wild grass and thorny green plants.
The area where they were located was overgrown with weeds, some as tall as a person's thigh.
Some water droplets, not yet completely dried, still clung to the tips of the grass...
It was lush and green, like a green lake. However, there were relatively few thorny plants.
Ye Feng couldn't help but frown. The last time he saw this kind of terrain was on the top of that small hill before the flood.
At that time, they deliberately dug out that terrain specifically to catch wild boar herds.
Although he had seen many strange terrains in the Amazon, this eerie place still made him sense a hint of danger.
But then I thought, all the remaining challengers are dead, and those 50 villains aren't going to arrive so soon.
"Brother Feng, is there a problem here?"
Seeing his furrowed brows, Liu Sisi guessed something.
After all, we've been together for so long, so there's bound to be some understanding between us.
Ye Feng shook his head…
"I don't know, I just feel like something's not right about this place."
Upon hearing this, Tang Weiwei and Zhan Pengwu immediately looked around. These words instantly brought back memories of being ambushed by Clayvin.
That was the first time, in this green, grassy environment.
"Wait a minute, aren't there just a few of us left here now?"
Tang Weiwei asked a question in confusion, but Ye Feng did not answer. Instead, he walked alone to the thorny plants next to him.
These things are covered in protruding, sharp thorns, almost identical to the pepper trees in the countryside.
thorns--
The Verbenaceae family consists of shrubs with extremely strong adaptability, generally growing in subtropical and North American regions.
Ye Feng's gaze followed the thorny trunk, searching until he finally found its roots on the slope, at which point he breathed a sigh of relief.
His usual caution made him suspicious...
Perhaps someone deliberately placed these thorns here to lure others into walking through the depression in the middle...
In order to achieve the purpose of an ambush...
Since these things naturally grow here, the possibility of that happening is significantly smaller.
"Let's go, everyone watch your step. This terrain is practically a perfect ambush site."
After saying that, he walked ahead, probing the path step by step with his walking stick…
There were no problems up ahead; the ground was very solid.
But just as they were about to emerge from the bushes, about a meter directly in front of them...
There was a noticeable depression in the grass.
"Hmph... I knew it! How could such a good place not have traps set up? Wouldn't that be a waste?"
Ye Feng picked up his walking stick and poked it into the sunken patch of grass, causing the turf to collapse instantly…
This is a rectangular pit, and due to the heavy rain in the morning, some water has already accumulated inside.
Seven or eight of the spikes that were originally stuck in the pit are now floating on the water.
Upon seeing this, Tang Weiwei and Zhan Pengwu immediately became alert; such traps do not form naturally in nature.
It's obvious that someone dug it up on purpose...
The others also began to remove their arrows, nervously looking around...
They were just about to take out their bows and nock their arrows when Ye Feng raised his hand to stop them…
"Don't be nervous, there's no one around, it's just an old pit."
Are you sure?
Tang Weiwei quietly countered, saying that being ambushed so many times had indeed left them with psychological trauma.
"I'm absolutely sure."
Ye Feng took a picture of his right hand, which was holding the bow, and pointed to the trap.
“Look at this pit, the soil along the walls has changed color.”
The bases of these spikes were also stained with the color of mud, and the entire piece of wood turned pale yellow.
Add to that the yellowed and withered turf, and I estimate it's been there for at least 25 days.
Hearing this, everyone relaxed their guard.
"I was terrified. I thought the production team was playing a trick on us."
Ye Feng poked around in the grass with his walking stick, but found no more traps.
"The person who set this trap must be one of those challengers who died earlier."
However, his skill level was too low; a rectangular pit is the easiest way for prey to escape.
Even if it were used to kill someone, it would only be a little over a meter wide.
If a person reacts quickly, they can grab the other side of the pit with their hands, which would likely prevent them from dying.
Moreover, the splinters weren't sharp enough or inserted deep enough, and there was only one trap – the perpetrator must be a complete novice at survival.
Tang Weiwei hung the bow back around her neck, her face showing some impatience…
"Damn it! Stop commenting, let's go. It's going to rain again soon."
"Leave? Are you kidding me? This is such a perfect trap. If I don't cause some trouble, I'll be letting this place down."
Ye Feng's lips curled into a sinister smile. He had come up with a good idea to delay the enemy's progress.
"Da Xiong, quickly get the entrenching tool out and dig this hole into a circle."
Everyone looked puzzled. Wasn't the main objective of this mission to escape?
Liu Sisi asked:
"Brother Feng, don't we have enough food? Even if we catch prey now, we'll have time to prepare it."
"Prey? Hmm~ that's right."
Ye Feng's smile deepened...
"I do intend to catch prey, but this prey is a person."
Weren't those guys trying to kill us? Well, let's give them our first gift right here.
Such good terrain is a waste not to use it.
If even one person falls into this trap, everyone else will be on edge.
In this way, while they are pursuing, they also have to keep most of their attention on their feet.
Their pursuit will slow down, giving us more time to escape.
"Oh~"
With this explanation, everyone immediately understood...
When it comes to using underhanded tricks, Ye Feng is the most skilled.
So Fu Changxiong immediately began digging.
Ye Feng then called the others and walked to a distance of several dozen meters from the trap.
They were given specific locations to dig holes all over the grass.
Some are deep, some are shallow, some are covered with sharp thorns, and some are completely bare.
He's determined to completely destroy the other party's mentality.
From a normal person's perspective, if the other party falls into the first trap...
They will definitely become very cautious and will use a cane to probe forward little by little.
However, this would inevitably slow down their pursuit.
Afterwards, they will surely discover many traps, some real and some fake.
From a psychological perspective, these people will definitely become very impatient once they have cleared enough traps.
This would make them incredibly slow.
Once Ye Feng runs far enough and successfully reaches the destination...
Not only will they not receive a single penny, but they will also be eliminated entirely.
