Chapter 263: Chapter 263: Success
"This method can only be used when they aren't paying attention; if we keep using it, they'll become guarded and we won't be able to get the drop easily."
Actually, after today's several skirmishes, Yun Li has come up with many ideas, but to make them all listen to her, she still needs to put in more effort.
Gong Mei pondered for a moment, then shook his head and said, "It's fine; in the end we still have to rely on ourselves to drive them away."
Yun Li remained silent, thinking that this wasn't a matter of whether they could be driven away, but that they had already threatened their lives; the best outcome would be to keep them here forever, which would also serve as a warning to anyone else who dares attack the Silver Eagle Tribe.
"If we could separate those beastmen today and deal with them one by one, perhaps we wouldn't end up like this."
Hearing that, Gong Mei and the female both instantly looked at Yun Li.
"A Li, do you have any thoughts?"
Not all beastmen are just reckless, insisting on one‑on‑one fights; after all, if hunting were like that, everyone would have died countless times by now.
To survive, everyone knows you have to give it your all when dealing with enemies.
So when Yun Li said that, Gong Mei immediately conceived a plan.
If Yun Li had a way, they wouldn't have to work so hard just to kill those few foreign beastmen.
"There is one, but I don't know if it works; if you want to hear it, I'll tell you."
Yun Li didn't give them any guarantee, because even the most ideal hypothesis must be tested in practice to see whether it can become true under real conditions.
"Anyway we can't go out now, so just say it; if it really works, you'll have done everyone a great favor."
The female is also part of the Patrol Team, so how could she not have heard what kind of beastman Yun Li is?
Being able to make the Young Master willingly become her Beast Husband, yet only rank as the Second Beast Husband, this female must possess extraordinary qualities.
Moreover, the Market that is said to improve the Tribe was reportedly established single‑handed by the female before us, so who wouldn't want to hear what impressive things she can say?
Yun Li glanced at the other beastmen with her peripheral vision; although they were all hurrying to rest, they had been watching this side ever since they heard us talking.
"Alright, I'll speak then. I think if we encounter them again, we could do it like this…"
Now those foreign beastmen rely on their powerful mounts, daring to chase the Patrol Team beastmen in groups of four or five.
But what if we cause those foreign mounts to suddenly lose contact with their riders?
According to Yun Li's observation, although the foreign mounts have maxed out defense and attack, their speed and responsiveness are noticeably sluggish.
Just like using a vine to trip a ferocious beast, they can easily interfere with the beasts in various ways.
…
"A Li, what do we do? They've already discovered our tactics now."
Since following Yun Li's advice—finding ways to sever the link between the ferocious beasts and the foreign beastmen, then striking the riders in that brief window—they've eliminated over a dozen foreign beastmen in two days.
Moreover, with Yun Li the Witch Doctor, although some beastmen were wounded, none of the team died.
It's just unclear whether the commotion on our side attracted more foreign beastmen, but the beasts sent behind them increased in number and became more cautious.
The leading beastman, like Gong Mei, is a Qing Rank beastman, yet their auras differ vastly.
Gong Mei doesn't even need to spar with that middle‑aged male to know they're no match.
Yun Li raised her hand to signal her to be quiet. "Don't worry, I know what I'm doing; I've already asked Shan Ye to bring reinforcements. We'll withdraw for now, and once we reach the spot, we'll strike them again."
Even though they've only clashed with the foreign beastmen for a few days, Yun Li has already guessed their greatest weakness: despite their strength, their numbers can never match those of the Silver Eagle Tribe.
The reason they scatter people is probably because they rely on the ferocious beasts' support, thinking this method can better erode the tribe's psychological defenses step by step; on the other hand, they likely also fear that once their small numbers are exposed, the tribe will launch a full‑scale extermination.
If that were the case, they might be able to seize the Silver Eagle Tribe, but they'd have to pay a terribly painful price.
Of course, the most crucial point is that once their ferocious beasts gather together, controlling them would be exceedingly difficult.
Ferocious beasts are still ferocious beasts; even if tamed, their wild nature remains. They can't guarantee that the beasts, when gathered for long, won't start attacking each other due to territorial instincts. At that point, whether the beasts aid them or the Silver Eagle Tribe is uncertain.
"Bring reinforcements? What does that mean?"
Gong Mei followed Yun Li, hurriedly leading the others away from the spot, asking her as they walked.
"We've spent too much energy these two days dealing with them; having someone help would make it easier.
Also, those foreign beastmen without their mounts would probably be hard to handle, so I sent Shan Ye to find nearby Patrol Team beastmen.
Then everyone can deal with them together. By the way, the big pit we used the day before yesterday is still there, right?"
Yun Li finished speaking and glanced at the sun overhead; besides the scorching heat, the dry season's worst annoyance is the sparse canopy, making the forest too bright, so they have to wait a long time for a good ambush opportunity.
But sometimes that glaring light can be used to achieve their aims.
"Yes, it's still there. That pit was a great trap for killing their ferocious beasts; last night I led people to disguise the big pit overnight. This time it's definitely sturdier than the first, so they won't fall in the moment they run over it."
Because the first time we lured them into the big pit, when the front ferocious beast fell, the one behind quickly dodged away.
If they didn't have other unforeseen traps, they'd face a bitter battle.
Hearing this, Yun Li gave Gong Mei a thumbs‑up, praising, "Well done! Even if the pit might not be usable later, since it's still there, let's use it to take a bite of hardship first."
"Another trick to lead the enemy into a trap?"
Gong Mei raised an eyebrow slightly and asked.
Yun Li smiled, her brows curving, "No, this time it's more of a feint—make a sound in the east and strike in the west."
Gong Mei didn't grasp her meaning, but that's fine; she'll see soon enough.
Elsewhere, Shan Ye was speaking softly to a burly male.
The male frowned, his expression vaguely uneasy, yet for some reason, after Shan Ye finished speaking, he was silent for a moment before nodding in agreement.
Seeing this, Shan Ye also broke into a relaxed smile; his part succeeded, and the rest is up to Yun Li Adult to arrange.
