In the end, it was Xiao Qiang who came up with a solution for us.

She had us find some branches, hollowed out the cores, and then used these branches as syringes to inject all the anesthetic filaments into the chunks of flesh.

Xiao Qiang still ignored me; it was Xu Wei who brought this up.

After Xu Wei finished speaking, she whispered in my ear and chuckled, "Sister Xiao Qiang actually misses you a lot, but she probably feels that if she speaks to you first, it means she's bowing her head. So, Brother Sihai, if you have time, go and explain to Sister Xiao Qiang. She's just a bit temperamental, we all know that. Don't keep arguing with her."

I patted Xu Wei's head and said to her with a hint of helplessness, "Don't worry, of course I know how to handle this matter. But right now, the most important thing is to figure out how to deal with those lynxes. Take good care of yourself, and help me take care of Xiao Qiang and Wang Xiaoxiao. Don't worry about the rest, okay?"

Xu Wei pursed her lips after hearing what I said, and was about to say something more, but Wang Ping came over to me and said that Mu Cuo and the others planned to go out tonight and distribute these pieces of meat that had been injected with anesthesia.

Because once these Utas people come out, they will definitely bring these lynxes with them.

Firstly, these lynxes are extremely aggressive, and secondly, they can help them solve many problems that they cannot solve on their own.

For example, they might come to search for our location and scent.

Muta and the others guessed that the lynxes should be moving around within their profitable range recently, so all we need to do is put these pieces of meat here.

But after thinking it over, I realized it wouldn't work.

If these chunks of meat are actually eaten by the lynxes, that would be fine. But if they are eaten by other animals, wouldn't all our efforts be in vain?

Therefore, for safety's sake, we must ensure that all these tampered pieces of meat are eaten by the lynxes.

Therefore, the safest way is to go to the tribe of Ertas, because there will definitely be lynxes they have domesticated around their tribe.

These lynxes must be having a very difficult time finding food now, after all, this life in the forest is a disaster not only for us but also for the animals.

But Muta shook his head and disagreed after hearing what I said, because he felt that it would be too risky for us to go directly to the tribe of Ertas now.

If we are discovered by the tribesmen of Ertas, we will surely die.

But I felt that only by taking risks could I know how likely it was to succeed, and besides, how could I catch the tiger cub without entering the tiger's den?

After listening to my words, Muta pondered for a long time before finally asking in a deep voice, "Then who do you think should handle this matter?"

The question posed by the wooden pagoda is actually meaningless, because I was the one who proposed this, and of course, I was also responsible for carrying it out.

However, Muta's words may have two meanings. First, he did not think the matter was reliable, so if he went, he would be risking his life.

Secondly, he might not want his people to take such risks again, so by asking this question, he was actually trying to discourage me or make me bear the burden alone.

However, when I made this suggestion, I had already made my choice. After all, I felt more at ease doing this alone.

Moreover, if I really want to reach some consensus with the Brunois tribe of Mu Cuo, I always have to make them understand that we, who have been stranded on this deserted island, are not entirely useless.

More importantly, we need to make them understand that we are not so easy to bully.

Now that we are on the same side, I can certainly help them unconditionally. But if one day we are on opposite sides, we will never let ourselves be slaughtered.

So when Muta asked that question, I immediately looked at him and smiled slightly.

“Of course I will do this, but I don’t know the exact location of their camp, so I’m afraid I’ll have to send one of your tribesmen to take me there.”

Muta seemed very surprised after hearing what I said; perhaps he never expected me to do that.

But Mu Cuo, who was standing nearby, immediately shook his head after hearing what I said, his face full of incomprehension.

“No, that place is too dangerous. How can you go there alone? Besides, it’s not just the Utas tribe guarding it, but also those demons. They have those glowing weapons. How can you possibly win with your bare hands?”

The worry in Mu Cuo's eyes was genuine, and looking at her like that, I actually found her somewhat adorable.

He reflexively reached out and touched her hair.

"It's alright, I know what I'm doing. You just need to stay here and keep watch."

Mu Cuo was startled when I touched her, and then she shyly flinched away.

That's when I realized just how ambiguous my action had been.

Wang Ping stood to the side watching me without saying a word, but his expression was indeed rather unpleasant.

I quickly and awkwardly changed the subject.

After discussing it, Muta and the others decided to have a young man from their tribe who often went hunting take me with them.

This young man was agile and not very old. He had the fewest fancy strokes on his face, so he probably wasn't a big shot in his tribe.

However, this kid looks very clever and is physically strong.

The only problem is that we can't communicate at all.

Before leaving, I asked Mu Cuo to help translate and create a few secret codes that only the two of us knew.

For example, if I point one finger, it means he should move forward; if I point two fingers, it means he should move backward; and if I clench my fist, it means he should run.

You only need to know these three things; for the rest, just act according to the situation.

The young man seemed very excited and nodded quickly. We put all the meat that had been injected with anesthesia into the basket, and that night I set off with the young man.

Before leaving, Wang Ping insisted on giving me the only gun we had left and all the bullets.

"Sihai, you must come back safely, everyone is waiting for you!"

I nodded: "Don't worry, of course I don't want to die either. It's best to finish this quickly. When I get back, we'll have a good drink of their milk wine to celebrate!"

Muta and the others were also very worried and repeatedly told us to be careful. Before I left, Mucuo even gave me a whistle and told me that as long as I blew the whistle, they would be ready to rescue me at any time.

This touched me a little, but I hope I'll never need to use this whistle.
