Upon hearing this, Lu Yuan's face lit up with joy: "It seems there really is a forest here! Then ask him if he'd be willing to lead us to find the forest; we can give him some food!"
Fang Yuan glanced at the other person and then translated Lu Yuan's words.
Upon hearing this, the other person immediately showed a hint of nervousness on their face.
"The young man said that it was too dangerous there and he dared not go!"
Lu Yuan looked at Zhou Tong: "Should we go by ourselves, or should we have him take us?"
After thinking for a moment, Zhou Tong said, "Why don't we go by ourselves?"
At that moment, the young man suddenly said something.
Lu Yuan glanced at Fang Yuan, who quickly said, "Oh, he said that people in their tribe have guides who can take people there, but they charge a fee!"
Lu Yuan nodded: "Alright, in that case, let's go find their guide. By the way, ask him again why these people attacked us? What was their motive?"
Fang Yuan translated Lu Yuan's words to the other party, and the young man explained somewhat embarrassedly after a long time.
He said that their tribe assigns them tasks every day, otherwise they cannot go back.
"What mission?"
"Oh, it's mostly tasks like finding food, daily necessities, and catching small wild animals!"
After a moment of silence, Lu Yuan looked at the other person and asked, "Do you have any guns over there?"
Then, Lu Yuan gestured with his hand as if it were a pistol, and the other party immediately nodded, then said something to Fang Yuan.
"He said that their tribe has guns, but they are all controlled by the tribal chief and his personal guard. Other people are not allowed to own pistols, and they don't have much ammunition. They only use guns when they encounter large monsters."
Hearing this, Lu Yuan felt that the other party was relatively honest.
After pondering for a long time, he decided not to provoke this force, since they had wasted far too much time along the way.
If we continue to waste time like this, the moon will fall soon. Right now, every minute and every second is a race against disaster, and there is no time to waste.
"Old Zhou, go and call the chief and the others. Tell them we're about to set off!"
Zhou Tong nodded immediately, then turned and walked towards the cave.
Next, Lu Yuan looked at the young man on the ground: "I'll give you a lot of food now, but you have to do something for me!"
Fang Yuan translated Lu Yuan's words to the other party, who then nodded gently.
"Alright, we plan to go to the Amazon rainforest, so you don't need to take us there directly. We just need to know the location of your tribes so you can help us avoid them! We'll handle the rest ourselves!"
After he finished speaking, Lu Yuan nodded to Fang Yuan, who quickly translated Lu Yuan's words to the young man.
After listening, the other person remained silent for a long time before suddenly asking, "How much food will you give me? There are six people in my family! They are all waiting for me to go back and bring them food. They haven't eaten for three days. If I don't go back soon, my sister might starve to death first!"
Then the other person tightened his pockets. He didn't eat the second piece of jerky that Fang Yuan had given him, but secretly stuffed it into his pocket.
Seeing the other party's reaction, Lu Yuan nodded slightly, then picked up a backpack from behind him, took out the night vision binoculars and some tools, and tossed the remaining backpack to the other party.
"There are about 30 pounds of food here, enough to feed you for a while!"
After taking the backpack, the other person didn't know what Lu Yuan was talking about. He simply opened the backpack and looked at the various biscuits, meats, water, and other things inside. Suddenly, a tear welled up in his eyes, and he wiped his eyes with his dry and very dirty hands.
Lu Yuan couldn't understand what the other person was saying, but he could clearly sense that the other person was expressing gratitude to him.
Lu Yuan waved his hand slightly. At this moment, Zhou Tong had already returned with the high priest and the others. Upon seeing the prisoners on the ground, the high priest and the others immediately showed a look of surprise.
So Lu Yuan briefly told them what had just happened. After listening, they all showed a shocked expression and then gave Lu Yuan a thumbs up.
Lu Yuan just chuckled lightly, then packed up with everyone and prepared to leave. As for the captured people, Lu Yuan simply threw the keys ten meters away.
This place wasn't very far for them, but their hands were bound with a very strong rope, and it would take a lot of effort to break it.
Then, Lu Yuan and Zhou Tong drove the vehicle and took the captured young man from Ba State into the car.
Zhou Tong was driving the car, while Lu Yuan sat in the back with the young man beside him. Fang Yuan sat in the passenger seat, translating and giving directions.
The high priest was sitting in the back row, his face showing a hint of excitement. He had just performed a divination before getting on the bus, which indicated that this place was very suitable for living, but to find a suitable place to live, there must be a water source and a forest.
The car wasn't going very fast, and the loud noise would definitely attract the attention of the nearby tribes. To avoid unnecessary trouble, Zhou Tong kept the car as slow as possible.
