Muta said that the Etas tribe has always advocated war and plunder, and they have lived on this land for many years, so they know the terrain like the back of their hand.

With the support of those pirates, winning would be very difficult.

The wooden tower pointed to the map, showed me several small hill icons, and said that these were all those glittering golden stones.

The pirates came here every year for these stones.

Now I finally understand what kind of stone Mu Cuo was referring to when he said those demons were after the stone.

It must be this gold, but in Mu Cuo's eyes, this gold is no different from stones.

Because there is virtually no trade in their area, let alone any exchange of money, gold is truly unimportant to them.

But in the eyes of these pirates, this gold was a real treasure.

What I didn't expect was that there were so many gold mines on this deserted island, which really surprised me.

Wang Ping, who was standing to the side, couldn't help but open his mouth wide and look incredulous after seeing the wooden pagoda mark these places.

Then Wang Ping looked at me, and we both understood what the other was thinking.

When we first discovered this gold mine at our current campsite, we were already quite surprised.

Because we never imagined that this deserted island was full of gold.

What surprised us even more this time was that, not only in the place we discovered, but also in many other places like the gold mines on this deserted island.

We don't know exactly how the Utas tribe gained the support of these pirates, but what we must understand now is that these pirates are enemies, not friends.

And now these pirates have begun searching for the Bunois tribe, which means we are now facing a major war.

Muta said that they actually had many camps, but each camp was located in a very secluded place. In addition, this camp was relatively large, so they came here to hide.

The Utas tribe is unaware of this place, but if the Utas tribe really wants to find them, they should be able to find some clues after searching this deserted island for a while.

After all, wherever there are people, there will always be traces left.

The most troublesome thing is that, in addition to the people of the Ertas tribe, they also domesticated many lynxes.

Lynxes have very sensitive noses; they can detect even the slightest scent, which is why this is the most troublesome aspect.

Thinking about those troublesome lynxes gives me a headache, because we've suffered losses at their hands more than once. It seems that if we really want to win this war, the first thing we need to do is deal with these lynxes.

Wang Ping understood what I was thinking and immediately looked at the wooden tower to ask, "Do you have a habit of taming animals? Or do you know how to train any animals?"

After hearing Wang Ping's question, Mu Cuo shook his head: "We don't do such things. The chief of the Utas tribe is very good at training animals, so we have suffered losses more than once. It is precisely because of this that we have been forced to hide and go into hiding everywhere."

After hearing Mu Cuo's words, Wang Ping sighed and then began to frown.

From any perspective, we are the ones who suffer losses in this matter.

I thought for a long time and suddenly remembered the anesthetic juice we used before. I immediately realized my mistake and described the plant and the wood in great detail again.

After listening, Mu Cuo's eyes lit up: "I know this stuff. Amu once said that it's an anesthetic that can numb the nerves of people and animals. It's just that this forest was recently burned down by a wildfire, so there's probably no way to find it. But I know there's a place where it must be!"

As soon as Mu Cuo finished speaking, Mu Ta immediately stood up, looked at Mu Cuo nervously, and waved his hands repeatedly, clearly disagreeing.

He then rattled off a long string of words, and Mu Cuo also seemed very excited. The two argued for a long time, and in the end, Mu Ta lost the argument. He sat down in a chair, angry and helpless, and stopped talking.

Mu Cuo looked at me and nodded gently: "My brother agreed. How about this, we'll go find that thing as soon as it's light tomorrow."

When Muta heard Mutso say this, he suddenly sighed again, and then said stiffly.

“That place is fraught with danger. If you go there, the chances of you coming back alive are slim. Sister, it’s too risky.”

Muta's eyes were filled with tension; I could tell he felt very sorry for his younger sister.

But Mu Cuo had clearly made up his mind, looking at the wooden pagoda and solemnly shaking his head.

"Brother, you have devoted yourself to the tribe for so many years. Now I should also make my own contribution to the tribe. Although I know it may be insignificant, I beg you, please don't stop me!"

After hearing Mutso's words, Muta sighed, shook his head, and remained silent for a long time. Watching the conversation between Muta and Mutso, I guessed that the place they were about to take us to was probably very dangerous.

Moreover, going there this time could very well mean losing your life.

However, under the current circumstances, we no longer have any other options. If we can really defeat the Utas tribe and these pirates in one fell swoop, it would be a victory.

Wang Ping looked at me without saying anything, and I whispered a few words about our plans for tomorrow.

Wang Ping meant that if we were to go, we should try not to bring our people along.

Firstly, we were not familiar with this place, and secondly, in this tribe, it was necessary to leave close relatives to protect the other women.

Secondly, the people in these tribes are very familiar with the terrain, so they will know about any disturbances very quickly.

If a conflict were to actually occur, we must at least maintain some reserve forces.

I know what Wang Ping meant, and his thinking is somewhat petty, but I know that in a place like this, protecting one's own safety is the most important thing.

I nodded, and we finally decided that I would take Chen Jian and Li Peng with me to go with the people of the Bunois tribe and Mu Cuo to the place that Mu Cuo mentioned where they could find the plants that produce the anesthetic water.

Wang Ping led the others to guard the tribe.

That was settled. The next morning, we packed some dry food and water and set off.

After being here for a few days, seeing the sun again makes me feel very comfortable.

Mu Cuo and his tribesmen were very nervous, carrying weapons and tools as they followed behind us. Li Peng was also somewhat nervous, holding a large knife, and looked at me hesitantly: "Brother Sihai, isn't it too dangerous for us to come out like this? There could be ambushes around here at any time. Don't you think we should come out a little later?"

Mu Cuo shook his head immediately after hearing Li Peng's words: "No, that plant can only be found during the day, so we need to speed things up."

At first, I didn't understand why Mu Cuo said that, but after Mu Cuo took us to the mysterious place she mentioned, I understood why she said that the plant could only be seen during the day.
