"On the day I return victorious, I will build a family with you."
Yang Yu looked at the girl before him and spoke with a smile.
"Mm!"
Lin Er was not shy in the slightest. She solemnly nodded her head.
Who would not want to marry the tribe's strongest warrior and bear outstanding descendants?
Besides, this era had not yet developed to the point of having such shameful etiquette.
"Let's go."
With that, Yang Yu led the seven members of the Hunting Team out of the tribe and hurried toward the Tribal Camp they had discovered before.
Looking at the backs of the chief and the others as they departed,
the women of many families could not help but show worry in their eyes.
After all, this was a war between their tribe and another tribe.
Moreover, including the chief, there were only eight people in the Hunting Team.
It was impossible for no one to worry.
Lin Er watched the backs of the chief and the others gradually recede, feeling an inexplicable emotion in her heart along with a trace of worry. She immediately headed toward the rear mountain.
When she arrived at the rear mountain,
she looked at the altar used for sacrifices, knelt on the ground, and sincerely prayed for Yang Yu.
"Heavenly God~"
"Please bless Your child, Yu, and let him return safely!"
Traveling light, combined with the fact that they had already walked this route before, meant that although the journey originally took two days, Yang Yu and the others reached the hill outside the Tribal Camp before nightfall.
"Chief, the Tribal Camp we discovered is just ahead. Should we..."
Yang Feng looked at the tribe ahead, excitement in his eyes.
This was their first time fighting another tribe.
They would all be recorded in the tribe's history.
To use the chief's words,
their names would live on for generations.
Even if they died, this battle would be worth it.
At this,
Yang Yu merely cast him a cold glance and said, "There is no rush. We still know nothing about the details of this tribe, so we must proceed cautiously."
Forcefully crushing them would be the act of a reckless brute.
If they wanted to take down this tribe easily without getting hurt, they had to rely on strategy.
After all, counting everyone, they only had eight people.
Having excellent equipment did not mean they would not get hurt.
In this era, getting injured meant losing one's ability to work. It was an extremely bad bargain.
He would not say something like Advantage is Mine.
The person who had said that had ended up suffering a crushing defeat.
"We have traveled on foot for an entire day and have already reached the point of exhaustion. If we attack now, it will be highly disadvantageous to us. We must restore our energy and make our preparations once night falls."
Yang Yu's eyes flickered as he spoke softly.
"Night?"
Upon hearing this, everyone was astonished.
Night was not suitable for fighting.
Had the chief actually chosen to fight at night?
Yang Yu raised a hand and pointed toward the sky.
They hurriedly looked up.
When they saw the bright moon hanging high overhead, they all understood.
It was currently summer. Before the sky had fully darkened, the bright moon had already quietly risen.
During this period, the night resembled the hazy gray light before dawn, making it fairly easy to distinguish directions and the like.
With that,
Yang Yu did not say anything else. He took out the dry rations he carried and began eating in large mouthfuls.
After finishing his rations, he did not do anything else. Instead, he chose to close his eyes and rest where he was.
When the others saw the chief's appearance, they followed his example.
After this period of training,
they had also maintained a state of sleeping three parts and staying awake seven parts.
If there was the slightest disturbance, it could rouse them immediately.
Soon,
night arrived.
Yang Yu woke from his sleep. Looking at the Tribal Camp, which could still be seen clearly beneath the bright moon, he gently touched Yang Feng beside him.
In the next moment,
Yang Feng instantly woke and tightly gripped the flint spear in his hand.
"Chief."
But after seeing that it was the chief, he slowly lowered his guard and gently touched Yang Yun beside him. The others also gradually awoke completely from their half-asleep state.
After everyone had awakened,
Yang Yu gathered them together and said in a low voice, "My requirements are not high. Try your best not to cause a conflict. If we can deal with them while they sleep, then deal with them."
"Of course, I am not asking you to kill those able-bodied men."
"If they can be captured alive, then capture them alive."
"The tribe's development cannot do without able-bodied men, and even more so, it cannot do without children."
Upon hearing this, Yang Yun furrowed his brows and said, "Chief, this tribe should be raising dogs. I fear that before we even approach the tribe, we will already have been discovered by the dogs they raise. What should we do?"
The main problem
lay with the dogs they raised.
He believed that any tribe comparable in size to theirs would certainly have learned how to train dogs.
A dog's nose was exceptionally sensitive.
At the slightest sign of trouble, it would bark and awaken the sleeping people.
That would be highly disadvantageous to them.
"To deal with dogs, we naturally use a method for dealing with dogs."
Yang Yu had long anticipated the possibility that the other tribe possessed dogs. He said, "Do you still remember the pheasant I had you hunt on the way here?"
"Chief, are you planning to use the pheasant to lure out that tribe's dogs?"
Yang Feng's eyes flickered as well, and he was extremely surprised.
He had not expected
the chief to think of this method to deal with those dogs.
"Chief, can this method work?"
Yang Yun maintained a faint trace of doubt and said, "The dogs in our tribe would not casually eat hunted prey."
Yang Yu laughed helplessly. "Yun, the dogs of our tribe were trained and taught from a young age. Who knows whether the other tribe raises theirs as carefully as we do?"
"That does make sense."
After hearing the chief's words,
everyone nodded slightly. What the chief said was indeed reasonable.
"Feng, your speed is Divine Travel. Shan, I will leave this matter to you."
Yang Yu spoke softly.
"Yes."
After receiving the chief's order, Yang Feng silently touched his way to a location less than half a mile outside the tribe.
The dogs raised by that tribe naturally discovered Yang Feng's movements as well.
"Woof, woof, woof~"
In an instant,
the hunting dogs rushed out of the tribe and headed toward Yang Feng.
Yang Feng, meanwhile, threw the hunted pheasant onto the ground before slowly slipping into the water, using the current to conceal his scent.
This was also something the chief had taught him.
The hunting dogs' speed went without saying. They covered half a mile in no more than a few breaths.
But when they discovered the pheasant still bleeding on the ground, they circled it several times before slowly approaching.
"Sniff, sniff, sniff."
Just then,
several sounds of something cutting through the air rang out.
Yang Yu and the others, who had silently followed Yang Feng at some unknown point, had already arrived behind him.
They drew their bows and nocked their arrows.
Several arrows struck the pursuing hunting dogs with brutal force.
"Aw-woo~"
The dogs hit by the arrows let out anguished howls and tried to flee toward the tribe.
But after they had run only a few steps, several more arrows shot toward them, piercing their bodies.
After struggling for a moment, they collapsed to the ground, blood flowing from their mouths.
Seeing the sudden turn of events, Yang Feng was visibly dumbfounded.
He turned his head and saw that the chief and the others had somehow already arrived behind him.
"Ch-Chief."
