This completely reversed the current situation between us.
With this divine spear in my hand, no matter how many of them come, they are nothing but shrimp soldiers and crab generals. Right now, the terrain they occupy is not as good as mine.
I can see them clearly, but they have to search for me in this dense forest, which will waste a lot of their time.
Furthermore, I can clearly see all their actions around the firelight, including now I can even see the old native man from before, who is now standing inside a wooden house, squinting as if looking at me.
His gaze was so intense that for a fleeting moment I even had the illusion that he had already noticed me.
But now I'm in a bind. I can't just go out like this, tell him I want to save Muta and the others, ask him to release them, and then we can make up.
That's obviously unrealistic, so the only option is to fight fire with fire. I have to let them know that I'm not someone to be trifled with.
I picked up my gun and started shooting at the people below. I only breathed a sigh of relief after I had knocked them all down.
At that moment, I saw the people of the Utas tribe take out things and scatter them around. Then I smelled a very pungent odor, and the campfire even started to burn the surrounding grass.
Thick black smoke billowed and churned instantly, making it even more difficult to see anything, especially since visibility was already poor in the darkness.
Damn it, are these people planning to burn this grass here and then burn Muta and Mucuo to death here?
Thinking about it this way, I felt even more uncertain.
No, I have to go down there quickly. I need to know if Muta and Mucuo are safe and alive...
I held my gun and kept a watchful eye on my surroundings, worried that there might still be some indigenous people hiding in the woods who hadn't been discovered. But even after I got down the mountain, I didn't see anyone else.
When I got down the mountain, I found that all the people I had knocked down were gone. There were drag marks on the ground, indicating that they had been rescued.
The once bustling and lively Utas tribe was now completely deserted, with only a few wooden houses standing quietly in the distance.
The campfires around us had mostly died out, so I rushed into the wooden house, gun in hand, looking around warily. But after entering two wooden houses, I still didn't find any of these people.
My heart skipped a beat. Oh no, did I just alert the enemy?
Could it be that they took advantage of the thick smoke to take Muta and Mucuo away?
If that's the case, then things are even more complicated.
After all, I'm not familiar with this deserted island. Although the native people of the Bunois tribe know this island very well, the problem is that we can't communicate with each other!
We can't communicate with them, so we can't command them or tell them what's going on here. And the only person I can communicate with, Mu Cuo, is still missing, we don't even know if he's alive or dead.
If they were really taken away by these Utas tribesmen, then finding them again would be like looking for a needle in a haystack.
Moreover, since I injured so many of their people just now, and they can't catch me or do anything to me, then Ta, Mucuo, and Wang Ping will become their only targets for venting their anger.
I was so anxious that I took out my gun and fired a few shots into the air. Just then, I suddenly heard a crashing sound coming from the wooden house not far away, like something had fallen to the ground.
I immediately turned around warily. Could there be someone else here?
I quickly and cautiously moved closer, holding the gun in my hand, my finger on the trigger, ready to fight at any moment.
But when I entered the wooden house, I discovered that it was entangled with a kind of vine covered in sharp thorns. The entire wooden house didn't even have a window; it was like a sealed cage.
The sound was coming from inside. Looking at the cage, it's quite similar to the cage where the pirate we captured was imprisoned.
Could it be that Muta and Mucuo are being held here right now?
But there are eight or nine of them, so this little house is obviously too small, isn't it?
There are frequent noises coming from inside, and I'm not sure if it's true or not, but I should still open it and take a look.
I took a deep breath and kicked a wooden board hard. But to my surprise, the board was incredibly sturdy. I kicked it several times, but I couldn't break it.
Finally, having no other choice, I could only yell into the room.
“Listen up, you people inside. If we’re on the same side, I’m going to try to kick this door open. You’d better hide on the other side. If not, then you’d better watch out.”
After I finished speaking, I started counting down from three. After I finished counting, I heard another rustling sound coming from inside. Obviously, this time the person inside could understand what I was saying.
I waited a few more seconds before taking out my gun and hitting the wooden planks a few times. After a few hits, gaps appeared in the planks, and I kicked them open.
Then I looked inside and realized that there were indeed people inside. They were all tied up in a ball shape and crammed together tightly.
I spotted Wang Ping immediately. He had injuries on his face and a dark bruise around his eye. He was clearly very excited when he saw me.
But apart from Wang Ping, I didn't recognize any of the others. However, they all looked like modern people and wore very modern clothes. I didn't need to guess to know that they must be people from the city.
But as for why they came here, it's probably related to those pirates.
I quickly took out the dagger I was carrying and cut all the vines binding Wang Ping and the others in a few swift movements. I also removed the rabbit skin that was stuffed in Wang Ping's mouth.
"Sihai, I knew you'd be alright!"
Seeing that Wang Ping had been beaten up like this, yet his first instinct was to care about me, I couldn't help but feel a warmth in my heart.
He looked him up and down: "How are you? Are you injured anywhere else? You injured your leg before, did you hurt it again this time? You've been suffering!"
Upon hearing my words, Wang Ping's eyes flashed with ferocity: "Damn it, these natives and pirates are not human. They captured Muta, Mucuo, and all the natives. Maybe it's because I don't look like these natives that they locked me up with them. However, I can't understand the gibberish they're speaking. But let's start from here."
I nodded. Although we didn't find Muta and Mucuo, we managed to rescue Wang Ping, so it wasn't a complete loss.
