But the old black man in front of them seemed to be very good at escaping; he knew that Ye Feng and his companion had bows and arrows…
Running straight would make you an easy target. So, the chosen escape route was an S-shape…
As it turned out, this did have some effect, at least... making it more difficult for the two to aim.
Qi Xiaoyan fired the first arrow…
"Whoosh!"
The arrow, after leaving the bowstring, swiftly grazed Charles's waist; it missed its mark...
It was planted directly in the ground to his right front.
This startled him, and he quickly darted into the woods to his left...
Unexpectedly, this was exactly what Ye Feng wanted, and a slight smile appeared on his lips...
"Whoosh!"
The arrow flew straight toward Charles's back...
However, things didn't go as planned; it's very difficult to shoot accurately when someone is running at high speed.
The arrow grazed Charles's thigh at the last moment...
"ah!"
He let out a short, muffled groan, feeling his legs suddenly buckle, and he staggered, nearly falling to the ground…
However, his will to survive allowed him to regain his footing, and within a few breaths, he darted into the woods and disappeared from Ye Feng's and his companion's sight...
"Wow! He can run this fast even in muddy ground. No wonder the black guy always dominates the running events. It's definitely a racial talent."
Ye Feng couldn't help but smile and nod in praise...
Qi Xiaoyan frowned and said reproachfully:
"You're still laughing? We missed, he got away..."
"Eh~ maybe not."
Ye Feng waved his hand and quickly ran forward...
After searching for a while, he found his arrow on a root plant...
Upon closer inspection, a faint trace of crimson blood could be seen on the edge of the arrowhead and the shaft of the arrow…
"snort…"
Ye Feng gave a cold smile…
"Let's go, this guy doesn't live much longer, let's get out of here quickly."
After saying this, the two retrieved their arrows and quickly rejoined the others…
Soon, the group reached the riverbank and began to untie the ropes…
After observing her surroundings, Liu Sisi asked:
“Brother Feng, we didn’t see that group’s raft here, which means they didn’t land here.”
Should we follow the original route? What if we're being followed?
After pondering for a moment, Ye Feng replied:
"Of course, this is the only route that's closer, so we can run into them here."
This means we're still traveling too slowly. Let's hurry, or we'll be in trouble if they catch up."
Upon hearing this, the group quickly untied the ropes and paddled the raft away from the area...
Ye Feng held binoculars and cautiously surveyed his surroundings, especially the shoreline of the mountain.
Now that everyone shares a common goal, he'll encounter more and more teams like Kodiaz's in the future...
The situation is becoming increasingly serious…
Therefore, the most urgent task is to seize the initiative, arrive at the location first, build a treehouse, and dig traps.
Only with these things can the safety of the people be guaranteed.
In addition, he kept wondering what exactly that gift that Ugly had mentioned, the one that could increase the chances of survival, was...
After thinking it over, he glanced at his black watch, though he still couldn't see any specific markers for his destination.
However, he knew very well that it was probably not far off...
Meanwhile, on the other side of the mountain, Cody and his companions were anxiously pacing back and forth along a riverbank…
They certainly didn't want to let Ye Feng, this fat sheep, get away so easily...
Watanabe kept stroking the wooden arrow in his hand, his mind constantly replaying the composite bow in Ye Feng's hand.
His family has made a living by hunting for generations, and you can see things like compound bows in this area.
It was naturally something he coveted. You could say that the five black men in the group were basically after the money, while he was after the bow…
Thinking of this, he asked eagerly:
“Cody, has something happened to Charles? He’s been gone for almost half an hour.”
Cody tossed his hand and said confidently:
"Impossible. Charles used to be a sprinter. Even if he were discovered, escaping wouldn't be a problem."
Watanabe looked disdainful...
"Hmph, can he be faster than a compound bow? I told you, that Ye Feng is definitely a veteran."
Perhaps he's already a corpse…
"What did you say!?"
Cody grabbed his collar immediately…
"You damned Zhipan man, shut your stinking mouth, my brother will be fine."
"Hey!"
Just as the two were arguing, Tang Ji suddenly pointed to the hillside not far away and reminded them:
"Look, Charles is back..."
Everyone quickly turned around to look...
Charles was walking unsteadily, his lips were pale, and his eyes were half-closed, as if he hadn't slept for days...
When he saw the crowd on the shore, he thought he should quicken his pace, but before he could take two more steps, he suddenly slipped and tumbled down...
“Charles!”
Cody screamed in alarm, and a group of people rushed over to support him...
Seeing that the blood on his right leg had soaked half of his pants, Cody knew that Ye Feng was definitely behind it…
"Bro, what happened? Which way did those guys go?"
Charles forced his eyes open and mumbled in his sleep:
"I don't know, when we got close to the river...he...they...found us...uh!"
Before he could finish speaking, his pupils constricted, his eyes rolled back, and he began foaming at the mouth…
Immediately afterwards, his whole body began to convulse uncontrollably, as if he had been electrocuted…
From the moment she escaped Ye Feng's pursuit until now, the entire process has only taken less than ten minutes.
He could have lived for at least another hour, but he had been running at high speed the whole way.
During strenuous exercise, blood flow is at least five times faster than usual.
At this moment, neurotoxins, blood toxins, and cytotoxins had already seeped into his internal organs…
With such obvious signs of poisoning, how could anyone not see it...?
Cody immediately tore open his trouser leg, revealing a gruesome, irregularly shaped ravine-like wound.
Moreover, a large area of redness and swelling has appeared around the wound…
Watanabe narrowed his eyes and glanced at Charles's eyelids again, immediately noticing something amiss.
"This must be the kid's arrow, it grazed his flesh."
Moreover, the signs of poisoning clearly indicate snake venom. Could it be? He carries snake venom with him at all times?
Upon hearing his analysis, Cody's face darkened even more...
"Do you have a way to treat this?"
Watanabe shook his head helplessly…
"What a joke, snake venom requires antivenom, and look at Charles's appearance."
It's clearly not just blood toxins; there should also be some neurotoxins.
Even if there were a hospital nearby, it would probably be difficult to save him.
If you want revenge, it might still be too late to chase after them now.
