According to the information provided by Mr. Thief, there are a total of three hundred bandits on the entire mountain.
Apart from the bandit leader and his guard whose strength is unknown, the rest are at the Heaven Rank.
If we just compare by strength, the people from Newbie Village are simply no match for those on this mountain, unless they can also enhance their strength by killing enough wolf packs.
Contribution points can be exchanged for strength enhancement, much like how Mu Can uses contribution points to exchange for Medicine Power to increase his own strength.
On this mountain, however, just as described in the Guide, there is a huge treasure cave, which stores most of the wealth plundered by the bandits over the years.
The wealth alone is enough to tempt Mu Can and the other two, especially since the Guide also states that with enough wealth, you can exchange for good items from the village chief.
