Chapter 346: with translation of chapter title

When Bai Ying flipped and leapt up, she saw the spot where the poison arrows were shot, and the branches twitched.

He ran!

Lin Feng frowned and said.

"Who is it?"

Bai Ying asked.

Lin Feng had just glanced, but he managed to see clearly the appearance of the person who shot the poison arrows.

"Short stature, dark skin all over, waist wrapped in vine cloth… probably a native of the rainforest! Whether they're cannibals, I don't know."

After saying that, Lin Feng grabbed his gun and chased in the direction the native disappeared.

More importantly, that place was exactly the direction of the river.

They proceeded cautiously for about ten-odd kilometers.

Even from far away, they could hear the 'hualah' sound of the water.

"There's a trap ahead!"

Bai Ying whispered a reminder.

"I know."

Lin Feng picked up a fist-sized stone from the ground and threw it forward.

With a 'bang'.

Where the stone hit, a big pit appeared.

Immediately after, a raft made of logs and vines fell down onto the pit.

With another 'bang', the raft covered the hole.

If someone fell into the pit, once the raft covered it, it would be very hard to get out.

Because the raft weighs several hundred jin, and inside the pit there's nowhere to push off,

trying to push the heavy raft aside is impossible.

Since it was a man-made trap, the two became more careful.

Their forward speed slowed.

Suddenly, a 'boom' came from ahead.

Like the sound of a bomb exploding.

About a kilometer away.

Lin Feng closed his eyes and placed his hand near his ear.

After a moment, a voice came.

Lin Feng murmured: "There's laughter, someone speaking English, natives… serves them right…"

After Lin Feng lowered his hand, Bai Ying smiled and said: "Only you could hear a sound from that far away."

"My ears are naturally sharp!"

Lin Feng looked smug.

"And you even have a dog's nose." Bai Ying joked.

Bai Ying understood that it was precisely because Lin Feng had these abilities that he could find her quickly.

If it weren't for Lin Feng, she might already be dead.

At that time, leaning against a tree, she forced herself to stay conscious as much as possible.

If she really couldn't hold on, she would press the switch on the pendant.

Fortunately, Lin Feng arrived in time…

This is a life-saving grace; Bai Ying feels deeply grateful.

But a single sentence from Lin Feng ruined her feeling.

"I want to know how you treated your wound that day."

Lin Feng said, placing his hand on his chest and making a lifting motion.

Bai Ying picked up a stone from the ground.

Lin Feng quickly said: "Let's go check it out! If I'm not mistaken, that native deliberately lured us here. Anyone who's human is smart; we can't underestimate them."

Bai Ying let out a breath, finally suppressing the urge to smash someone.

Half an hour later, the two appeared at the site of the explosion.

The native man Lin Feng had seen earlier lay on the ground, his body blown to pieces, a sight too horrible to behold.

In just that short half hour, many leeches, ants, and other insects had crawled over.

Bai Ying frowned and said: "He stepped on a landmine; we need to be careful."

Lin Feng nodded.

As they continued onward, Lin Feng threw away his anti-miasma mask.

A river was nearby.

The air was relatively ventilated, so it wouldn't gather large amounts of miasma.

Lin Feng remembered from his past life watching a documentary where a person spent several hundred days successfully crossing the Amazon Rainforest.

That person had proceeded along the river.

The landmine contained explosive molecules that kept emanating.

Thus Lin Feng could smell the landmine.

Not only landmines,

some key positions also had tripwires set up with transparent threads.

Dense traps made Lin Feng and Bai Ying feel their scalps go numb..

Which kid would be willing to spend that much capital, laying over a hundred landmines in this area all at once?

The two quickly got the answer.

After crossing the minefield, Lin Feng took out the telescope and looked ahead.

Only to see that on the riverbank ahead, a forest of several hundred mu had been cut down.

On this cleared clearing, many wooden houses were built.

Wooden structures also extended all the way to the riverbank, where a small steamboat capable of carrying over ten people was moored.

On those wooden watchtowers, someone walked back and forth holding a gun.

In the open space between the watchtowers, dozens of natives were bustling about, not knowing what they were doing.

Moving the telescope a bit more, two corpses could be seen hanging on the watchtower.

After taking a glance, Lin Feng handed the telescope to Bai Ying.

"What kind of people are these?"

Lin Feng asked curiously.

Bai Ying frowned and said, "They might be drug dealers."

Lin Feng gave a hehe laugh and said, "Kill these people, take their boat, leave a live one to guide us, sail away on the boat—what do you think?"

Bai Ying nodded and said, "Okay!"

The two discussed it.

Bai Ying proposed that Lin Feng handle long-range sniping while she took charge of the assault.

After approaching the watchtower, Lin Feng found a suitable sniping spot.

Bai Ying sneaked into the watchtower.

Next, dense gunfire rang out.

The militants in the watchtower fell one by one under the guns of Lin Feng and Bai Ying.

The battle lasted over ten minutes before ending.

The militants weren't many, just about twenty or so.

During the gunfight, dozens of natives were so frightened they crouched together with their heads in their hands, not daring to move.

After Lin Feng and Bai Ying cleared the watchtower a bit, they walked to the open space between the watchtowers.

The two pointed their guns at this group of native men and women.

"Don't kill us!"

A dark-skinned man suddenly clutched his head and stood up, shouting loudly.

Lin Feng took a closer look and realized this person was not a native.

He spoke fluent English.

"Who are you?"

Lin Feng asked in English.

The man replied, "My name is Richard, I'm an American, I'm a scholar; I came here to study the natives, and I have nothing to do with those drug dealers."

"Do you understand the native language?"

Lin Feng asked.

Richard nodded and said, "I've lived here for ten years, and I even had a son with a native girl..."

In order to make Lin Feng and Bai Ying trust him, Richard revealed his background.

Lin Feng's mouth twitched as he asked again, "What are you doing?"

On the clearing there were many simple stoves, with clay pots placed on them, inside which the blackish substance was still bubbling.

Richard said, "By boiling a kind of leaf into glue, these glues can be refined abroad into ***..."

After Richard finished explaining, Lin Feng smiled and said, "Tell them they are free."

Richard nodded and said a few words in 'jiliguala' to the surrounding natives.

The natives' faces showed expressions of surprise and joy.

Next, two native men stepped forward and lowered the hanging companion.

It turned out they weren't corpses; the people were still alive.

After rescue, the two disobedient elderly natives who had been hanged came back to life.

Apart from the river, the surroundings are all minefields.

Richard piloted the steamboat, sending the dozens of natives across the river in batches.

The watchtower built by the drug dealers was burned down in a fire.

Lin Feng, Bai Ying, Richard, and an elderly native boarded the boat and sailed downstream toward the natives' village.

Richard occasionally exchanged a few words with the elderly native.

Lin Feng occasionally scrutinized Richard, not trusting this guy.
