"Alright, thanks to you guys for saving me again this time. Next time I catch an Arapaima, I'll make one for you."
It's getting late, let's head back now. I'll cook you a nice meal tonight.
"OK! OK! OK!"
When it came to delicious food, Zhan Pengwu was overjoyed and wished he could kiss Ye Feng twice.
After Ye Feng finished speaking, he got up and started climbing down the tree.
After putting away the bow, he picked up the male eagle and estimated that it weighed about fifteen pounds.
Most importantly, this male eagle has thick, soft, and large fur, making it perfect for arrow tails.
Now, as long as they have the right arrow shafts, the team's four bows can fire indefinitely.
There's no need for close combat; with just two powerful composite bows, archery alone is enough to strike fear into the hearts of enemies.
He removed the two bait snakes, put away his bow, and then walked back to the camp with the others…
At 6 p.m., in a treehouse 6 kilometers away—
Horford and his three companions were sitting around a campfire in the treehouse, with an iron pot on top of it.
Inside, there were also many chunks of meat and leaves stewing, emitting an enticing aroma.
It's clear that the group's meals were quite good.
However, none of them touched their chopsticks; each person had a different expression, serious and thoughtful.
A few minutes later, a noise suddenly came from outside, and all four people looked towards the doorway...
Soon, a middle-aged white man pushed open the door and entered; it was Samperm Miloch.
"How's it going? Did you find it?"
Horford stood up and asked urgently…
"No."
Samperm shook his head helplessly.
"That kid Rob is probably gone..."
"Fuck!"
Horford slammed his thigh hard, his already dark face turning even darker.
But he wasn't angry because he lost a brother; he was just confused about where Rob died, what caused his death, and whether he had seen any of the other challengers.
If none of this is answered, then Rob's death will be meaningless.
During this time, they had been searching for the person who killed Krato, because Horford desperately wanted to get his hands on that powerful bow.
Even knowing that the person was within a few kilometers, with only six people...
Finding it in this vast forest is indeed quite difficult.
They only noticed the anomaly on the watch two hours ago.
In the past, the six of them would return to camp at 4 p.m.
But today, Rob, who usually loves to slack off, didn't come back.
Combined with the $200,000 increase, it's clear that something must have happened to him.
Horford and Ye Feng shared similar thoughts; he didn't believe that Rob had truly died in an accident, bitten to death by some kind of poisonous creature.
Because the direction he was looking in wasn't far from the campsite, and Rob's profession was a survival streamer.
When it comes to survival knowledge, they are almost on par with me, and I would never make such a mistake at this critical juncture.
So he wanted to find Rob's body and get to the bottom of things.
But as I said before, there are forests, trees and green plants everywhere.
A person's footprints are extremely limited, making it virtually impossible to find them quickly...
"You tell me... what exactly happened to Rob? Did he even see that kid with the composite bow?"
After the four people looked at each other for a few seconds, Peter spoke up:
"Could it really have been an accident? There are so many poisonous snakes and spiders here. I almost got bitten when I went out the day before yesterday."
"Unlikely..."
Samperm immediately rejected his suggestion.
"Others might be possible, but you all know what Rob is like."
He's lazy and afraid of dying, and when it comes to dealing with venomous snakes and spiders, he's far more professional than us.
And… if I remember correctly, this is only the second time I've seen the prize pool increase by 200,000 since arriving in this land.”
Upon hearing this, Peter nodded slightly, finding it to be true.
That makes sense. By now, most of the weaklings who don't know anything about wilderness survival have been eliminated.
The rest of them are all pretty skilled, but the key is Rob, he's a professional survivor...
"I think... Rob might have really died in an accident. But then again..."
Horford rubbed his big, bald head with one hand and stirred the churning meat in the pot with a stick in the other.
A faint smile appeared on his dark face, as if he had already guessed the truth.
"He must have died in a trap set by someone else; otherwise, I really can't think of any other way he could have died..."
"That makes sense..."
Sempem nodded in agreement. Indeed, if someone dies in a trap set by others without any fighting involved, it is considered an accidental death.
They had previously used traps to ambush and kill two challengers.
This is how the iron pot used to stew meat came about.
"Oh, in that case, the trap was very likely set by that kid with the compound bow."
"That's right!"
In the firelight, Horford's face darkened, a slight smirk revealing his gleaming white teeth. His eyes were filled with murderous intent…
"I didn't ask you to find Rob's body, but rather that trap."
Once we find it, we can narrow down the search area, and that guy won't be able to escape.
"Belle, you and Robert went out together today. Do you remember the exact route he took?"
"hiss…"
Peter stroked his chin, recalling for a while before finally remembering.
"I'm not sure of the exact route, but he headed towards the bushes to the south."
"good."
Horford made a decision immediately.
"Tomorrow we'll head south together. We absolutely must get the compound bow!"
9 p.m.
An enticing aroma wafted through the jungle.
After more than three hours of processing and cooking, the feast was ready.
Tonight's dinner is a hodgepodge of hornfish meat, snake meat, pork bones, pork cracklings, and a handful of edible tree leaves.
Moreover, it was stewed in a clay pot that had been fired some time ago.
Ye Feng had wanted to replace the frying pan for a long time, since there were now eight people in the team.
One pan is definitely not enough...
The pale white broth was incredibly flavorful, and the whole horned eagle meat was simmering and bubbling.
It blends perfectly with the broth and looks incredibly delicious.
When they opened the lid and saw the delicious contents inside, the Tang Weiwei and Zhan Pengwu brothers were completely stunned.
My drool just wouldn't stop flowing...
For them, this once again pushed the boundaries of their understanding of wilderness cuisine.
This is absolutely luxurious…
Even if they were on a journey, they could never afford such a feast, even if they thought about it every day.
For a moment, all three of them felt extremely fortunate that they had left with Ye Feng.
Otherwise, how could we eat these things?
"Gangxianglian, my goodness, what a jerk..."
The three people expressed their surprise and admiration in Shanxi dialect, Henan dialect, and Cantonese respectively.
