Chapter 541 Entering the Ambush



"You damned beast!"

Henry instantly flew into a rage and kicked the three piglets away.

With a few kicks, the piglets scattered in panic and ran away.

After driving them away, Henry parted the grass at the end of the bloodstains…

The large wild boar from before had now died and was lying dead next to its burrow.

This is a female Indonesian wild boar.

Henry licked his lips. He had been eating compressed biscuits, bird meat, and rat meat for several days, and he was really craving it.

However, the ambush was about to begin, and he had no time to deal with it.

Helpless, they could only call a few of their underlings to carry the wild boar away.

Afterwards, in order not to alert the enemy, he began to clean up the bloodstains along the way.

It can be said that he went to great lengths to ambush Ye Feng.

Half an hour later, the six people finally finished all their work.

Eight pit traps were dug in total, and they were filled with sharp spikes.

Eleven lasso traps were set up, all hidden underground, each one so well concealed that they were difficult to spot with the naked eye.

Henry grinned, revealing a smug, sinister smile.

It can be said that as long as Ye Feng and his group step into this place and trigger the first trap, the subsequent matters will become much simpler.

After the inspection, Henry had everyone take cover in designated spots, and the long wait began…

Meanwhile, one kilometer away—

Ye Feng and his group had arrived at the outskirts of this area.

After a tense hour filled with anxiety, everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Only Ye Feng remained anxious.

He was right; he didn't see any enemies in that hour.

However, the more this is the case, the more it proves that one's conjecture is correct.

Before a storm, it is usually very calm.

He hated the unknown, where he could only rely on his feelings and experience to judge danger.

Who knows which corner those pursuers might suddenly jump out from?

With a sense of unease, they soon arrived at a undulating, open area.

It was midday, and the sun was shining brightly.

But the visibility in the forest was like that of dusk, with only a few rays of the sun filtering through the leaves.

The ground is covered with climbing plants that hug the terrain, resembling a green lake.

Only by looking closely can one barely make out some of the road and some of the poisonous creatures.

However, this gloomy feeling is still somewhat uncomfortable.

"Ouch!"

Suddenly a scream rang out, and everyone quickly turned around to see Zhan Pengwu sitting on the ground, rubbing his buttocks with a bitter expression on his face.

"What’s wrong with you?"

Ye Feng immediately stepped forward to ask... fearing that he had been bitten by something.

"It's alright, it's alright."

Zhan Pengwu waved his hands repeatedly.

"This road is so difficult to walk on. I wasn't paying attention and tripped over this stone."

Ye Feng rolled his eyes, full of disdain.

"You call yourself an expert? Be careful, or you might get solo killed by Stone."

"Eh~"

Zhan Pengwu patted his butt and stood up, somewhat displeased.

"Brother, you can insult my intelligence, but you can't insult my kung fu."

I could get through a place like this with a backflip, you won't believe me...

Before Ye Feng could stop him, he did several backflips in quick succession, showing off as he did so…

"How about it? My kung fu is authentic Shaolin... Ah!"

Before he could even do a somersault, his foot accidentally kicked a vine.

So, he only managed to do half of the somersault before falling to his knees, facing the crowd.

This comical scene immediately created an awkward atmosphere.

After a brief moment of stunned silence, a burst of laughter erupted.

Among them, Zhan Pengfei was the happiest. Looking at Zhan Pengwu, whose face was flushed red, it was obvious that his knees were still hurting from hitting the ground.

"Hehe~ Brother, is this a new form of Buddhist worship that you came up with?"

That backflip and kneel was pretty cool! Hey, does bowing like that increase my merit?

"You son of a bitch!"

Zhan Pengwu slapped Zhan Pengfei on the forehead with his palm and cursed angrily:

"Hurry up and help me up!"

Zhan Pengfei felt dizzy from being slapped, and Ye Feng stopped laughing and stepped forward to help him up.

"What are you jumping around for? It's only good on this grass. If it were concrete or there were stones underneath, your knees would be ruined. Stop showing off."

"Hiss~"

Zhan Pengwu quickly rubbed his knee and moved it around a bit. Fortunately, he was physically strong and there was no serious injury.

Despite the pain, he remained stubborn...

"It's alright... We martial artists are bound to have some bumps and bruises."

Ye Feng ignored him and frowned as he looked at the grassy area full of plants.

Even a master like Zhan Pengwu is prone to stumbling; if he continues walking like this, he'll probably fall too.

The main problem was that the light was rather dim, and they couldn't possibly travel slowly and cautiously, taking one step at a time, as that would be too much of a waste of time.

After careful consideration, it's best to choose the easier path for now.

"Sisi, climb the tree and check the surrounding area."

"good."

Liu Sisi naturally saw through Ye Feng's idea, immediately took off her backpack, chose a nearby tree, and began to climb up.

About ten minutes later, she slowly climbed down from the tree...

"Brother Feng, the surrounding area is mostly dense forest, and the leaves mostly block out the sunlight."

Only the trees at the 9 o'clock position are fewer and shorter.

"Um."

Ye Feng nodded and then looked at the map on his watch.

The 9 o'clock direction wasn't necessarily the route he originally intended to take, but it wasn't far from the main route he had set.

The dense forest is dark, and ambushes can be set up anywhere, greatly increasing the chances of being threatened by poisonous creatures and other pursuers.

Therefore, out of caution, it is naturally much more convenient to walk in well-lit areas.

Let's go.

With a wave of his hand, the group resumed their journey.

Sure enough, after walking for about twenty minutes, the long-awaited sunlight shone through the gaps in the leaves hanging high in the air, and the light was much brighter than before.

Ye Feng quickly entered the U-shaped area.

He suddenly stopped walking on the openwork grass.

He frowned and began to scan his surroundings, but did not move forward for a long time.

Tang Weiwei noticed Ye Feng's unusual behavior immediately and asked:

"What's wrong? Is there a problem?"

Ye Feng hesitated for two seconds, then slowly shook his head.

"I haven't found any problems yet, but this place is indeed very suitable for an ambush."

Tang Weiwei poked the ground with her cane and scanned the surroundings with her sharp eyes.

"No way, the view here is great, and the grass isn't tall. Could those people really be ambushing us here?"

Ye Feng didn't know how to explain it, because logically speaking, this area was the only one in the vicinity that received the most sunlight.

If there really is an ambush, the success rate will be greatest if it's in a dark corner.
