The facts were not too different from what Ye Feng had guessed…
Half an hour later, after everyone had dissected all the fish, bird, and rat meat, they returned to the treehouse.
During this time, they were completely unaware that on the mountainside where they were located...
Nearly a kilometer to the northeast, an eye has been watching them for almost an hour.
After watching Ye Feng and the others climb up the treehouse, Cairnster slowly handed a monocular telescope to Pera, who was standing nearby.
A wide smile played on his lips, and his excited eyes were like those of a wild beast that had spotted its prey.
From here, he could see Ye Feng's treehouse clearly and memorized it perfectly.
There was originally an open space in front of Ye Feng's treehouse, but later, considering the humid air in the rainforest, the area was renovated.
To absorb more sunlight, he cut down all the extra trees within a ten-meter radius.
Unexpectedly, this action revealed almost the entire appearance of the treehouse.
"What a beautiful treehouse! It seems that Ye Feng is not only skilled in using poison, but also quite adept at building."
Pera couldn't help but praise him, and then handed the binoculars to Seth.
"Kane, shall we just make our move?"
"NoNoNo…"
Cairnster shook his finger meaningfully.
"Look at them, they're handling food in groups of eight, they're clearly wary of us."
If we attack now, they'll be relying on the treehouse and have five bows and arrows; we'll only suffer heavy casualties.
Hunting is about striking when the prey least expects it, to achieve a surprise attack.
Pera clearly didn't fully understand what he meant, and was about to ask a question when Horford beat her to it...
"Shall we come tomorrow?"
Cairnster glanced at him but didn't reply immediately; his blue eyes narrowed into slits.
After hearing Horford's entire description of Ye Feng, he redefined his opinion of this young, yellow-skinned boy.
In situations like last night, Horford's timing and location of the ambush were actually not wrong.
Ambush at night can be even more unexpected.
If I had to say something wrong, it would be that his subordinate Simond was too stupid.
Even under those terrain conditions, Ye Feng's counterattack was almost perfect.
If it were my own team, we might not be stronger than him.
Therefore, he determined that Ye Feng was a very cautious yet extremely powerful prey.
When dealing with such a clever person, conventional methods are unlikely to be effective.
A moment later, Cairnst responded in denial:
"Captain Horford, haven't you suffered enough? It's difficult to kill him even by ambushes, let alone in his camp."
You know to set traps around the camp, do you think he would overlook that?
A direct assault is not advisable; even if you manage to win, it will only be a Pyrrhic victory.
A skilled hunter will not give his prey a chance to retaliate.
Horford frowned as he heard his pretentious words.
I have absolutely no idea what he's trying to do.
But since they've already sided with someone else, they naturally have no right to refute it.
So he had no choice but to humbly ask:
"So... Major Cairnster, how do you plan to hunt this cunning yellow fox?"
"hehe…"
Cairnster chuckled coldly and tapped his temples with two fingers.
"If force doesn't work, then we have to use wisdom."
As he said this, he looked up at the still-falling raindrops, as large as beans.
"Hmm~ But we have more important things to do now."
Seth, Pera.
"exist!"
The two responded in unison, and it was easy to tell from their instinctive posture of standing at attention that they were both from the military.
"This place has a wide view, perfect for monitoring them."
Take Sundar, Horford, and a few others and build a house nearby. Remember to keep it hidden.
Come with me tonight, let's give this fox a little surprise.
As soon as he finished speaking, Horford looked completely bewildered.
"What do you mean? Didn't you just say you weren't going to make a move today?"
Cairnster lowered her silver eyebrows and glanced at him with disdain.
"Captain, please recognize your current position. I am the commander of the team."
And you... are just a... failed hunter who was almost bitten to death by a fox.
What right do they have to question me?
"you!……"
Horford was once again struck on a sore spot. Feeling his pride insulted, he couldn't help but clench his fists and take a step forward.
However, he was immediately stopped by Samperm and Barn behind him.
The two women leaned close to his ear and quickly whispered words of advice…
"Forget it, you can't beat him, so don't fight amongst yourselves right now."
"Boss, when you're under someone's roof, you have to bow your head."
Although I hate to admit it, what they said makes sense.
Their goal is the grand prize and freedom. If they fight amongst themselves now, the only one who will benefit is Ye Feng, that fox.
Besides, even if a fight breaks out, he's unlikely to come out on top.
You should know that Kanesser is a special forces soldier among special forces soldiers.
It's said he even won a military combat championship. Even if all three of them were together, they might not necessarily gain the upper hand.
Horford forced himself to suppress his anger, loosened his fist, and his angry expression softened somewhat.
But Cairnster still looked at him with a mocking expression, looking down at him from his superior position.
"You should thank your two brothers properly; they saved your life."
Otherwise, the moment you make a move, you'll immediately see God.
Just like...now!
No sooner had he finished speaking than a short dagger, over a foot long, appeared in his hand and slashed it toward Horford's eyes.
Although Horford was in the Navy, he had at least carried out combat missions during his military career.
The response speed to the crisis was also extremely fast.
He instinctively tried to tilt his head back to avoid it, but Cairnster was clearly faster.
The blade grazed his eyeball in the blink of an eye, and he immediately felt as if something was missing from his face.
But there was no discomfort or bleeding...
Just as he was about to reach out and touch it, Cairnster's dagger appeared before his eyes.
Horford's eyes widened instantly, and he involuntarily took two steps back.
The anger in his eyes instantly turned into fear.
Because there was a tiny hair on the blade.
Judging from its shape, those are indeed his eyebrows.
This scene startled both Samperm and Barn behind them.
The three of them, including Sandar, were also stunned.
How skilled must one be with a knife to dare to do this? A special forces king, truly living up to his reputation.
"Captain Horford..."
Cairnster's face slowly approached Horford's ear, his tone shifting from its previous calm to cold and sinister...
"I think you may not realize the gap between us. The jungle is my home turf."
So please, don't talk so much in the future. If you want freedom, just listen to me and don't argue.
Because it only takes me a second to kill you.
