Returning to 84, hunting for wealth, one person feeding three families.

Half a day later, Liu Zhen and his group arrived near Erdaokou.

Looking out over the distant canyon, Liu Zhen roared excitedly.

"Ye Chen, just you wait, this is your burial ground!"

After speaking, Liu Zhen did not risk moving forward. Instead, he turned around and gave instructions to his brothers behind him.

"Let's hurry up and find a place. Let's rest for the afternoon first."

"We'll head to Erdaokou later in the evening."

As qualified mountain hunters, Liu Zhen and his group had long since developed this habit.

Even in the dark, one can keenly sense the other's presence with just their eyes.

For them, the night is the best cover!

They must conserve their strength and launch a sudden attack. Only in this way can they wipe out Ye Chen and his group in one fell swoop, while ensuring that their side suffers as few casualties as possible.

……

the other side.

On the cliff next to Erdaokou.

Ye Chen and his men had been lying in wait for a day.

"Brother Ye Chen, will those guys be able to come?"

Hai Tao frowned and asked, feeling uncertain about Ye Chen's arrangements.

When he was in Cat Village, he had a lot of dealings with Liu Zhen. As the son of the village chief, Liu Zhen was arrogant, but he did have some ability.

Among the mountain hunters, Liu Zhen and his group always had the biggest harvest!

Otherwise, he wouldn't have provoked her so easily when he encountered the balding man by chance.

Arrogance is often accompanied by formidable strength.

"Don't worry, Liu Zhen will definitely not miss this opportunity. He is very confident in himself and thinks that as long as we are in the old forest, he can definitely deal with me."

Ye Chen said confidently, his expression quite calm.

Suddenly, the balding man standing nearby remembered something and quickly spoke up to remind him, "I understand now! The reason these people haven't shown up yet is because they're waiting for nightfall!"

"Back in Cat Village, I heard that Liu Zhen and his group were different from others. Everyone else rested at night to avoid encountering wild animals."

"Only Liu Zhen and his gang, who treat themselves like wild beasts, usually wait until night to venture out. Their eyes can see things in the dark; it's a habit they've developed over a long period!"

"So, does that mean Liu Zhen and his gang might show up tonight?" Ye Chen pursed his lips and asked in return.

Xie Dian nodded, somewhat worried: "Brother Ye Chen, things get complicated at night. Even if Liu Zhen and his group fall into a trap and enter the valley, we might not even notice!"

"We can't see anything in the dark. If they notice something amiss and try to sneak up on us, we're outnumbered and might not be a match for Liu Zhen!"

Faced with such instructions, Ye Chen remained quite calm, waving his hand without turning his head and giving the instructions.

"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing. Since they're going to act at night, let's not waste the day and get some rest."

"We'll conserve our strength and make sure this group doesn't return!"

Without explaining, Ye Chen simply rolled over, wrapped himself in his fur coat, and closed his eyes.

Seeing this, the balding man on the side stamped his feet anxiously, but thinking of Ye Chen's abilities, he could only suppress his anxiety.

Despite his balding hair, he was determined that he owed Ye Chen a life, and even if it meant dying here tonight, he would make sure Ye Chen could leave safely.

As long as Ye Chen is alive, he will definitely avenge me!

……

Half a day later, night fell.

Ye Chen, who was fast asleep, was suddenly shaken awake. Looking closely, he saw a balding man with a worried expression.

"Brother Ye Chen, it's getting dark, are you really alright?"

"Liu Zhen and his gang might come tonight. They'll be able to see us, but we won't be able to see them. Even if you have those two guns, it'll be useless if you can't hit anyone!"

"Don't worry, you guys just stand by and reload for me, leave the rest to me!"

Ye Chen said confidently, the reason he was so confident was because in his previous life, he had experienced a lot and had long since mastered the ability of night vision.

The so-called night vision is just an exaggeration. When a person is in the dark, their eyes will naturally adapt after they become familiar with the darkness.

Even with just the moonlight, you can detect moving objects.

However, this ability has a drawback: once the other party is stationary, even with night vision, the other party's whereabouts cannot be detected.

"You'll stay by my side tonight, and don't move an inch without my permission!"

"Also, no matter what noise you hear, don't be alarmed, understand?"

Ye Chen gave them some instructions, knowing that Liu Zhen and the others would definitely use special methods to ensure their safety while they were moving.

Giving advance notice can also prevent accidents from happening!

"Alright, Brother Ye Chen, since you're so confident, we brothers will go all out with you this time!"

The balding man gritted his teeth and said fiercely.

Unexpectedly, just as the two finished speaking, sparks of fire appeared in the distant woods behind them!

"Fire?"

Upon noticing this unusual change, Tian Cong couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

Ye Chen stomped his foot angrily, finally understanding Liu Zhen and the others' plan!

These bastards, taking advantage of the fact that the old forest isn't their territory, are willing to set fire to it and destroy it just to force Ye Chen and his group out!

Such methods are utterly heinous.

Once the forest catches fire, the wild animals in the surrounding area will inevitably be frightened and flee, and may not return to this forest for several years.

Moreover, if the fire gets out of control and spreads, destroying the old forest, that would be an utterly heinous crime!

"Damn it, those bastards! Killing them all would be too lenient!"

"Fire is forbidden in the old forest; it's a rule passed down from our ancestors. We usually don't even have time to eat a hot meal when we go into the mountains. These outsiders are trying to uproot us!"

For a moment, Haitao and Xie Ding also frowned, realizing Liu Zhen's ruthlessness.

A fire ignited in Ye Chen's heart. Based on the heinous acts committed by Liu Zhen and his gang, he was determined to kill them here today.

Otherwise, it would be far from enough to appease public anger!

"Don't act rashly. They set this fire to lure us out. If we jump out now, we'll fall into their trap!"

"Endure it, take them all down first!"

Ye Chen clenched his fist and said coldly. The moment his voice fell, Ye Chen saw several figures walking towards the second entrance, illuminated by the firelight.

At the entrance to the canyon, Liu Zhen and his men acted with extreme arrogance.

While searching the surroundings, he didn't forget to shout, "Ye Chen, aren't you so great? Get your ass out here!"

"Because of you, I almost went to jail. We have to settle this score today!"

"Oh, right, I forgot to tell you, because of you, quite a few people have died on the road. Every hunter we encountered was slaughtered and thrown into the bushes to feed the wild boars!"

"These lives are all your fault, Ye Chen. Don't you want to avenge them?"
