It seems I was right; these giant Haru have developed a strong immunity to weapons like drugs.
Next time, the only way to deal with them will be through physical attacks. I then tested fire on Haru, observing the damage and reactions to different methods.
After a series of tests, it was found that Haru did not feel much pain from physical attacks such as crossbow bolts. However, even the enhanced Haru could not resist the pain from natural magical attacks such as fire.
Having collected the necessary data, Haru's life or death was no longer so important. However, one thing still surprised me: Haru seemed to have grown even larger at a visible rate.
This discovery was no joke. I immediately had Chief Asaida bring over a velociraptor to compare with Haru's height.
I saw it clearly before; those velociraptors were mostly over three meters tall, while Haru was only about two and a half meters tall, much shorter than the velociraptors.
Now, I don't realize how much I've changed until I compare. I was quite shocked by what I saw.
The Haru that appeared in front of me was still a little shorter than the Velociraptor, but the difference was definitely not huge; the difference between them was no more than twenty centimeters!
It's only been a short time, yet Haru has grown so fast. No wonder he got hungry so quickly.
This accidental discovery made everyone uneasy. What would happen if things continued to develop like this?
Haru's fighting power today is already astonishing. If this size is still not Haru's physical limit, what kind of monster will Haru become if he continues to grow?
Upon receiving this astonishing news, the leaders of both tribes dared not wait any longer. They could not be certain how many more of these gigantic monsters Haru possessed.
Things are still within my control. If those Haru are allowed to grow indefinitely and become uncontrollable, all their ingenious tricks will become a joke in the face of absolute power.
The leaders of both sides immediately convened an emergency joint meeting to discuss the matter, but how to capture this isolated peak, which was easy to defend but difficult to attack, became a crucial issue.
The best suggestion at present is to use fire, but there are not as many dead trees and weeds on this isolated mountain as one might expect.
Most of them are tall trees, whose huge canopies have suppressed the weeds and shrubs below, and even those that exist are very sparse.
If a fire were to be started under such circumstances, it is estimated that the fire would not easily spread to the top of the mountain. It is very likely that it would only burn to the tall forest halfway up the mountain before running out of fuel and going out.
Then someone suggested a night raid. While the night raid seemed feasible, it actually had more problems.
Putting aside the fact that Haru has already launched a surprise attack on us, their own defenses in this regard are certainly more stringent than usual, and it will probably be very difficult to break through their defenses.
Not to mention that Haru occupies a favorable terrain. If a conflict breaks out between the two sides, it will be easy for Haru to launch a counterattack or defend, while we will be put in a passive position.
The problem reached a stalemate. With no other option, we had to reconnoiter the area multiple times to see if we could find a suitable direction to attack.
After a lot of searching, I finally found a small flat area less than 20 meters from the summit.
This is probably a small platform formed by a small landslide that occurred during a rainstorm; it could probably accommodate about twenty people at most.
Apart from this platform, all the other terrain is either rocky areas or steep cliffs, which could kill someone in a matter of minutes.
I stared blankly at the platform in front of me, lost in thought. Su Su noticed me daydreaming and patted me on the shoulder, asking,
"Master, are you having some strange idea again?"
I rolled my eyes at Su Su.
"What do you mean by a strange and bizarre idea? This is a vicious scheme, okay?"
I paused for a moment and then continued,
"However, I think this location can still be used. For example, it's suitable for us to use fire to force those Haru to escape from that high ground."
"Master, didn't you say the fire couldn't reach here? Why are we still using fire?" Su Su looked at me with some confusion.
"Times have changed. Before, we didn't have the chance to burn all the way to the mountaintop. But this time is different. I plan to start burning right from the mountaintop!"
"ah?"
Su Su's mouth was agape. Her master's way of thinking was indeed beyond the comprehension of ordinary people.
"Stop! Let's hurry down the mountain and get everyone ready to start preparing. We'll attack the mountain tonight!"
"No, Master, you didn't tell us what we should prepare."
"Tell everyone to prepare a lot of firewood. If you don't have any, look for it in the nearby areas. The more the better."
"Master, what are you going to do now?"
Su Su noticed that Dante and I weren't heading to the tribe, so out of curiosity, she asked a question.
Without looking back, I waved and disappeared into the bushes. Dante shrugged helplessly, indicating that he couldn't follow me either.
Su Su pouted. Master always liked to keep people in suspense like this. Couldn't he just tell the whole story at once?
Su Su didn't delay. After returning, she told both leaders about Tang Yi's message about preparing a large amount of firewood.
The two leaders had previously discussed the fire attack plan, and they felt that fire attack wouldn't work. However, according to Susu, this time Tang Yi wasn't going to start the fire from the foot of the mountain, but rather planned to start it directly from the top.
Upon hearing this news, the two leaders exchanged bewildered glances. They were far less familiar with acts of murder and arson than Tang Yi. As for how to start a fire from the mountaintop, they couldn't even begin to imagine it.
Although they still don't know exactly what Tang Yi is going to do, their repeated interactions have given both the Mira and Asada tribes absolute recognition of Tang Yi's abilities.
He is not a reckless person; he won't do things he's not sure about.
The two chieftains immediately agreed, with only a small number of tribesmen remaining at the camp to guard the supplies. The rest of both sides mobilized to collect dry firewood from nearby forests and other places.
With such a large number of people, the collection of supplies was extremely fast. A steady stream of firewood was bundled and transported back to the camp, and within an hour, a tall pile of firewood had been stacked up.
Since Tang Yi said to prepare more, then we should just keep bringing it back. By evening, the firewood had reached a terrifying amount.
The stacks of firewood were at least three meters high and ten meters long. Finding food was not easy, but there was no shortage of dry firewood in the jungle.
