As we retreated further in, we carefully watched our surroundings, because this forest was so close to the Utas tribe that no one could be sure if there were any ambushes they had set up long ago.

Moreover, the main force and weapons are all at Mucuo, so Ah San and I can only retreat alone into the forest to be safe.

Ah San and I hid deep in the woods, and I could barely make out Ah San's face anymore. I could only sense that we were both very nervous, because this wasn't a game; it was a matter of life and death.

In the end, the distance between us became uncontrollable because the lynxes outside were getting faster and faster. Just as Ah San and I were about to take a few more steps back, something suddenly rushed into the place where Ah San and I were.

I felt a sharp pain in my shoulder, and before I could turn around to see what it was, I suddenly heard Ah San scream. He was clearly startled as well.

Then I saw the Indian man pick up the big axe he had brought with him and chop it down at my shoulder.

I wondered to myself, could this kid be a spy from the Utas tribe, and he's trying to kill me right here?

But before I could dodge, the axe in the Indian man's hand suddenly veered off course, and then he swung it directly at the tree next to me. Only then did I realize that the Indian man didn't want to kill me, but because there was a huge lynx perched on the tree.

The lynx was now glaring angrily at me and Ah San.

The Indian man held the axe in his hand, looking extremely tense and vigilant.

I finally understand now that the Indian guy was helping me.

Just then, several gunshots rang out from outside the woods. It was obvious that the Utas tribe was entangled with the pirates and searching for us.

If we make a scene now, the Utas tribe will definitely launch a full-scale attack to capture us, after all, we have a long-standing grudge against each other.

Right now, Ah San and I only have an axe for him and a machete for me. If we really run into each other, Ah San and I will be at each other's mercy.

Therefore, getting caught is absolutely out of the question.

I immediately tugged at Ah San and gestured at him a few times, trying to get him to run away first.

But the Indian man kept staring intently at the lynx, looking like he had a deep-seated grudge.

I really hated myself for not being able to communicate with him at all. My head was spinning, so I quickly reached out to pull him. But to my surprise, Ah San suddenly turned his head to look at me, and then looked with great tension at the spot outside the woods where the sound was coming from.

He turned to look at me and mumbled something, but I couldn't understand it. I was getting so anxious that I was about to jump up and down when the Indian guy suddenly shoved me and pointed into the depths of the woods, as if he wanted me to run faster.

"And what about you? If we're going to leave, we have to leave together. If you stay here alone, isn't that just another way to die?"

But I couldn't communicate with the Indian guy at all. He obviously couldn't understand what I was saying and just pushed me.

Seeing that I didn't move, he suddenly stretched out his right hand towards me and then placed it on his left shoulder.

He looked at me intently, then bowed deeply. I didn't understand what he meant. Just then, I saw the Indian man suddenly extend the axe in his hand and lunge at the tree.

He swung his axe and chopped at the tree with all his might, the leaves rustling and making a swishing sound, while the gunshots outside grew closer.

When I saw what the Indian guy did, I was furious. Has this kid gone mad? The people of the Utas tribe already know there are people in the forest. They don't need to guess to know that we've come to rescue Muta.

When there's no time to hide, the Indians are desperately trying to attract attention, which will only make them rush in faster, and then we won't be able to hide at all.

After all, the woods were pitch black, and nobody knew what the surroundings were like. Was this guy just a teammate who was going to die a thousand miles away?

I reached out to grab him, but Ah San seemed completely out of control, quickly grabbing his axe and rushing to the other side of the woods.

He ran and shouted, his voice exceptionally loud, echoing through the woods.

Just then, I saw flames slowly rushing in from outside.

They were carrying torches, and it was obvious they were from the Utas tribe. At that moment, I could hear gunshots echoing through the woods.

I couldn't tell what kind of guns they were using, but judging from the sound they were firing, I knew they were definitely heavy weapons.

But now that Ah San has run too far away, it's obviously impossible for me to call him back.

So I have no choice but to hide myself first; otherwise, if these indigenous people find me, my situation will only get worse.

But then I thought about it and felt uneasy. After all, Ah San is still a young child. He came with me. If he were to die this time, I wouldn't be able to explain it to the Bunois tribe when I got back!

I gritted my teeth and came up with a plan. In this situation, the only option was to use a feint to the east while attacking the west, and to try and salvage the situation after the fact.

The Utas tribe and those pirates had an unknown number of people on this mission. If they all went after the Indian, even if the Indian was physically strong and familiar with this deserted island, he would not be able to shake off so many pursuers on his own.

Therefore, we should still use the same method we used to buy time for Mu Cuo and the others to buy time for the Indians.

I thought back to that moment when I took the machete in my hand and chopped at the surrounding tree trunks a few times, and then I also imitated the Indian and made a few shouts.

Soon I started running quickly in the opposite direction.

Sure enough, the Utas tribesmen and pirates who had been chasing after the Indians with great fanfare seemed to hesitate, and soon I noticed that the torches that had been chasing after the Indians were gradually starting to chase after me.

I finally breathed a sigh of relief, because only in this way could I do something for the Indians.

I ran back and forth quickly, shouting as I went, hoping to attract more people to my side this time.

I tried to change my voice as much as possible, hoping that the people of the Utas tribe would think that I had a lot of people on my side. I also grabbed a tree branch from the ground, and it made quite a lot of noise when I ran.

But after running for a short while, I suddenly heard several gunshots coming from the direction that the Indian had run in. Then, the noisy shouts suddenly stopped.

My mind raced. Could something have happened to the Indians?

But now the torchlight following behind me is almost upon me, and I have no time to worry about what's going on with Ah San. I just hope that Ah San can leave this place alive!
