The room was empty at the moment; to be precise, it was completely empty.
There wasn't a single piece of firewood in the entire house; it looked as if it had just been built.
However, judging from the withered yellow palm leaves on the roof, the house must have been there for quite some time.
It's obvious that this isn't because no one lives there, but because people have moved away.
Ye Feng put down the binoculars and sighed softly.
Although I had anticipated this outcome, I still couldn't hide my disappointment.
He straightened up, stretched his aching back, and waved to his companions.
"Stop hiding, Horford has already escaped."
"What?"
Zhan Pengwu stood up and asked, puzzled:
"How are you so sure? What if that bastard has already gone out?"
Ye Feng glanced at him helplessly…
"Hey monk, do you know why you always get ambushed?"
Zhan Pengwu shook his head.
"It's because you rely on your kung fu skills that you've always underestimated your opponents."
"To survive to the end, brute force alone is absolutely impossible."
As he spoke, Ye Feng handed him the binoculars.
"Horford is third on the list. Does he really think just anyone can take that position?"
Look for yourself, the whole room is so clean it looks like it was just robbed by bandits.
If they were just going out, why would they take the firewood and stove?
Moreover, they were exposed to toxic fumes just last night, and the aftereffects will last for at least three days.
It's no later than 9 a.m. now. Are the three of them leaving together so early? Is that reasonable?
"Well……"
Zhan Pengwu watched for a while, then scratched his head. Indeed, in his heart, he had never taken these foreigners seriously.
After all, the way the other party has always hurt me has always been through dirty tricks.
"What you said seems to make sense... Hmm... How did this old black guy become so smart?"
"They've never been stupid!"
Ye Feng rolled his eyes at him and snatched the binoculars back.
He was helpless; it seemed that last night's victory had made the monk a little arrogant.
He already looked down on foreigners, and after the big win, he looked down on them even more.
Underestimating your opponent is a very, very fatal habit at this stage of the game.
"I'll say it to you again, don't underestimate any of our enemies."
None of the people who have survived to this day are worthless; they all possess at least one skill. And their intelligence can't be lacking either.
Upon hearing this, the straightforward Fu Changxiong raised his hand…
"But my brain just doesn't work well."
Qi Xiaojie echoed...
"Me too... too..."
"Shut up!"
Ye Feng stopped the two of them...
"You two are lucky. If you hadn't run into me, you'd be dead eight hundred times over. And you're still so smug..."
The two chuckled and didn't refute it.
"If it weren't for Chou Chou sending me a text message to remind me last night, plus the fact that we have toxic fumes and plenty of tools, it would have been much better."
Believe it or not, Horford's first volley of arrows would have killed at least half of us.
The crowd fell silent, and upon reflection, they realized that this was indeed the case.
The enemy was positioned at a high vantage point, and their arrows were poisoned. If Ye Feng hadn't decided to proceed in the dark, they would definitely have turned on their flashlights.
This is equivalent to making yourself a live target for the opponent, and the head is the easiest place to be hit.
Looking back, it was indeed very thrilling...
Tang Weiwei looked at the empty treehouse in the distance and clenched her fists.
He felt very frustrated that Brother Ni had escaped again.
He was even more eager than Ye Feng to kill Horford.
"Damn! It seems we came all this way for nothing. What do we do now? Go back?"
"What a joke, how could we possibly leave empty-handed? A thief never leaves empty-handed."
Ye Feng grinned and glanced at the nut trees not far away.
“Monk Daxiong, come with me to that treehouse. Maybe we can still find traces of when they left.”
The others went to pick nuts, leaving none behind. But don't wander off alone, stay alert.
After saying that, he handed the fur on his left shoulder to Liu Sisi.
The two groups immediately split up and took action...
Arriving about 20 meters away from the treehouse, the entire treehouse is clearly visible in front of you.
To be fair, aside from the slightly bent wooden sticks on the wall, the less-than-ideal material selection, and the irregular binding method, this is definitely a well-made treehouse.
Moreover, right under the treehouse is a sizable green lawn with grass that reaches up to your calves, making it soft to walk on.
At first glance, it really does feel like a fairy tale world.
"Wow... Brother Ni really knows how to enjoy life! The scenery here is much better than yours."
Zhan Pengwu praised…
Ye Feng couldn't help but nod. Backed by mountains and facing water, the terrain was just like the small hill where he used to live.
"Come on, let's go inside and take a look..."
The three continued toward the treehouse, but before they had gone far, Ye Feng felt increasingly uneasy.
Why does the sensation coming from under my feet feel so familiar?
It seems like I've stepped on this somewhere before...
He stood there, thought carefully for two seconds, and then suddenly remembered.
This feels like the trap I stepped into when I was looking for herbs to dispel dampness, passing by that patch of vegetation.
He was first entangled in Horford's lasso trap, and only later did he slowly realize it.
Ye Feng's own treehouse traps were also covered with grass, just like the others.
"Bro, what's wrong?"
Fu Changxiong, who was standing to the side, asked…
Ye Feng didn't reply, and quickly squatted down to clear away the weeds...
In the blink of an eye, he saw a familiar plant hidden in the grass... moss.
His eyebrows shot up immediately, and he shouted to Zhan Pengwu, who was still watching the treehouse move forward:
"stop!"
Zhan Pengwu had just lifted his foot when he heard the sound and immediately stopped. Only then did he realize that Ye Feng had fallen behind him by about ten meters.
"What's wrong? Why are you two so far apart?"
"Stay where you are! Don't move! Don't wander off!"
Zhan Pengwu thought there was some kind of poisonous snake at his feet, and looked around for a while, but all he saw was grass.
But he still chose to listen to Ye Feng and stay where he was.
Ye Feng took the walking stick and started poking at the ground, slowly moving forward.
When he arrived in front of Zhan Pengwu, before Zhan Pengwu could even ask a question, he poked a hole in the seemingly flat grass with a stick.
He didn't stop there, and continued poking at the grass.
With each strike of his stick, a hole would appear in the ground.
The grass, like window paper, quickly became riddled with holes.
"this?……"
At this moment, both Fu Changxiong and Zhan Pengwu raised their eyebrows.
Ye Feng suddenly stomped his foot...
"boom!"
The grass in front of them suddenly collapsed, revealing a large pit that was three meters long and at least two meters wide and deep.
The pit was filled with wedge-shaped, cone-shaped wooden spikes.
Upon closer inspection, some clearly visible white substance remained on the tip of the thorn, which was noticeably different from the color of the wood itself.
Judging from its color, it is undoubtedly some kind of toxin.
