Haru is now hoping that some large predators will pass by so that he can use himself as bait to lure them in.

Haru is sometimes more likely to fall into his trap than to hunt timid herbivores, since he is a walking meat storehouse himself.

If done properly, there's still a chance to use some unlucky fools to cook the pot.

This method might actually work in other places, but here it's a solitary peak.

No matter how big the mountain is, it's still only so big. As long as those carnivores aren't out of their minds, facing so many Haru, their first instinct should be to evacuate as quickly as possible, instead of trying to take them down.

The wild vegetables on the ground were trembling. If their parents hadn't not given them two legs, they would probably have disappeared long ago.

Seeing how good the food was down the mountain, Haru was naturally tempted. They also wanted to go down the mountain to secretly plunder some supplies and come back up for a feast.

However, Chief Haru forbade any behavior of going down the mountain. In order to dissuade Haru from this idea, Chief Haru specifically explained the pros and cons involved.

Now that they're having such a lavish feast, they might have already set a trap for us to fall into.

The most urgent task now is to buy some more time for one more night, so that these ten Haru can grow to a larger size.

Then we can use their size to rush into the enemy's formation and seize the supplies inside.

Having heard that their leader had truthfully explained the plan, Haru's army naturally had no objections. Compared to going down and being ambushed, they felt it was more worthwhile to go hungry for another meal.

The night passed peacefully, just as Chief Haru had predicted. The two tribes at the foot of the mountain had indeed made thorough preparations; if Haru and his tribe dared to come down, they would ensure that Haru would never return.

However, Haru wasn't stupid; they didn't fall for the trick. They preferred to go hungry rather than risk coming down the mountain to try and plunder supplies.

…………

"Master, it seems your method is still ineffective. Those Haru have no intention of coming down the mountain at all."

Su Su rested her face on her hand, a blade of grass dangling from her mouth, and listlessly tossed a piece of firewood into the fire.

"Sir, is it because those Haru still have food left? Perhaps the Haru who ambushed you earlier still have some leftover food?"

Dante expressed his opinion, which we have naturally considered as well. However, given the size of Haru's army, their food is only enough to be divided equally among them for today's meal.

There is no doubt that the group led by Chief Haru had no food reserves at all, and they even had trouble getting enough to eat.

"Just because we can endure it today doesn't mean they can endure it tomorrow. As long as we hold on, they will definitely come down from the mountain out of hunger and choose to plunder our supplies."

Although we cannot annihilate them all, weakening their strength will be more advantageous to us.

I stared at the burning fire, lost in thought, wondering if peace would truly come after this battle.

Although the possibility of Haru coming down the mountain to attack that night was very small, for the safety of the tribe, many sentries, both visible and hidden, were sent out.

At night, I made a point of having Pat and Top rest on a big tree near the supplies storage area. They are more sensitive to changes in the environment than humans, making them the most suitable people to guard the supplies.

A night passed, and nothing unusual happened. Even Pat and Top, who were guarding the stored supplies, didn't notice anything amiss.

As dawn approached, the sky began to lighten with the first hint of white. At this moment, all the patrolling sentries breathed a long sigh of relief.

During this special period, they dared not be careless while on guard duty. After a night of tension, they could finally relax a bit, and drowsiness immediately crept in.

Anyway, it's almost dawn, and with people on duty during the day, they can find a place to take a nap.

But what no one expected was that, just when everyone relaxed their guard, Haru began to make his move quietly.

The ten Haru that were modified yesterday have become giant humanoid creatures over two and a half meters tall. At this moment, their appearance still shows traces of Haru, only their proportions have been greatly enlarged.

Chief Haru knew that the enemy's crossbows were very powerful, so this time the chief took off a lot of the leather armor that Haru was wearing and pieced it together to make ten full-length leather armor sets.

Not only that, they also tied thick logs, about the size of a thumb, to important protective positions on their leather armor.

These logs are tied together in three layers, horizontally and vertically. If Haru hadn't become so huge and strong, he probably would have exhausted them just by wearing this set of leather armor.

With ten Harus at maximum defensive capabilities, plus their monstrous strength, killing a cow with a single punch would be an understatement.

However, Chief Haru was still worried that it wasn't safe enough, so before the ten Haru set off, each of them ate another mushroom.

Yesterday, Haru had already noticed the food storage area. It was a storage area jointly set up by the Asada and Mila tribes. There was some food inside, but not all of it.

This food was originally intended to lure Haru into a trap, and now the ten Haru have come directly to this very place where the food was stored.

They all carried a bag woven from tree bark on their backs. The bark used for these giant bags was extremely tough and could withstand a great weight.

The ten Haru successfully made their way down the mountain and quietly made their way to the place where the food was stored.

At this time, the guards of this place were warriors from the Asada tribe. Although they took turns sleeping, they still couldn't sleep very well.

Seeing that it was already dawn, and that nothing bad should happen, the Asidar warriors on guard closed their eyes to take a nap.

But this time, they probably hadn't even fallen asleep yet. They only felt their necks being snapped by a tremendous force, and then they closed their eyes forever.

The most crucial lookout in this ambush was instantly wiped out by ten Haru. Those lying in ambush nearby were naturally unaware of what was happening.

Things went even more smoothly than Haru had imagined. They raided at the exact time the leader had instructed, catching the enemy completely off guard.

Looking at the supplies on the ground, Haru felt an indescribable joy; they hadn't had a proper meal for several days.

If we take these supplies back and process them, and eat them with plenty of wild vegetables, we can still have enough to eat several times.

Without further hesitation, Haru began throwing all the edible supplies into his large bags. Before the ten bags were even fully filled, the supplies on the ground had been completely looted.
