56: Just wait for the Chieftain to attack and everything will be fine!

On the other side.

While the Vulture Tribe rescued the injured and set up camp, Jin Yu, along with the former Mao Shu Tribe Warriors and the Sand Fox Tribe members, carefully bypassed the sand dunes behind them.

“Any signal yet?” Jin Yu poked her head out, asking the Warrior beside her.

The Warrior shook his head, “Not yet.”

Cheng Zhen had agreed that when it was time to act, he would light a smoke as a signal. Jin Yu didn’t quite understand the natives’ signals, so she relied on the Warriors beside her for updates.

The Sand Fox Tribe NPCs were 100% loyal to Cheng Zhen, so there was no possibility of them falsely reporting military intelligence.

They carefully lurked, preventing themselves from being discovered by the enemy.

However, someone’s little antics still made Jin Yu’s head throb.

“I say…”

Jin Yu gritted her teeth, “Don’t think that just because I won’t kill you, you can mess around here!”

“This rope makes it inconvenient for me to move, so I can’t help it,” Xiao Xi wiggled his mummy-bound arms, indicating that he had no intention of causing trouble.

Jin Yu tried hard to endure, turning her head away to avoid looking at him.

She was quite a person of her word; having promised Cheng Zhen not to hinder him from achieving the special conditions, she hadn’t done anything more to Xiao Xi.

But even with her enduring like this, Xiao Xi kept making small movements.

Jin Yu couldn’t understand why Cheng Zhen would let her bring Xiao Xi along; wasn’t he afraid this guy would mess things up for him and cause the plan to fail?

If they were discovered by the Vulture Tribe in advance, making them wary, Cheng Zhen, who was deep in the heart of the enemy camp, would be in even more trouble.

To prevent that guy from suddenly doing something, Jin Yu had two Warriors surround Xiao Xi.

“If you cause the Vulture Tribe to discover us, I’ll throw you here for them to skewer!”

Under Jin Yu’s threat, Xiao Xi quieted down, but his eyes were still subtly shifting.

Time passed minute by minute until a wisp of smoke emerged from the distant sand dunes, and the Sand Fox Tribe Warrior suddenly perked up.

“It’s the Chief’s signal!”

The Warrior told Jin Yu, “We can go!”

Jin Yu nodded, beckoning to the people behind her, “Go! Charge!”

The Warriors immediately threw off their disguises, grabbed their stone spears, and with bows on their backs, rushed up the sand dunes.

The Vulture Tribe’s patrol Warrior was originally standing there lazily, but when he saw a plume of thick smoke rise in the distance, his eyes widened.

When he clearly saw a group of people rushing towards him with weapons, he immediately turned and ran, heading back to the tribe to report.

By the time Cheng Zhen had tricked them into splitting into two groups to fight, Jin Yu and her people were already almost at the high ground.

Those Vulture Tribe Warriors brandished their weapons, ready to engage, but as the two sides approached, the Vulture Tribe Warrior looked at his opponents and suddenly froze.

“Sand Fox Tribe?! You are from the Sand Fox Tribe?!”

After Cheng Zhen ‘defected’ to the Vulture Tribe, the Vulture Tribe, from top to bottom, saw their thirty-odd people wandering around every day, so they were naturally very familiar with the Sand Fox Tribe’s totem tattoos and could not mistake them.

The Vulture Tribe Warriors were momentarily stunned; hadn’t the Sand Fox Tribe’s Chief said that his main force had been wiped out by the Giant Camel Tribe? How could they appear here? And attack with other people?

They were confused, but Jin Yu and her people didn’t hesitate, brandishing their weapons and charging forward.

With sharp whistles, arrows cut through the air, shooting towards the Vulture Tribe members.

They raised wooden shields to block, but the small wooden shields couldn’t block all attacks. Some people couldn’t dodge in time and could only let out painful cries as the sharp weapons pierced their flesh.

Jin Yu and her people seized the first-strike advantage, immediately closing the distance.

Although they couldn’t carry Old Xu’s weapons due to the long distance, Jin Yu had forty Mao Shu Tribe Warriors under her command, plus the Sand Fox Tribe members, giving them a numerical advantage, so they naturally weren’t afraid of the opponent.

In close combat, the sounds of impact, roars, and the wails of agony after sharp weapons pierced flesh were incessant.

Because the Vulture Tribe had just returned from battle and were still somewhat fatigued, coupled with their numerical disadvantage, they couldn’t overpower Jin Yu and her people and could only grit their teeth and hold on.

Even if the current battle was difficult, the Vulture Tribe Warriors all firmly believed one thing—

As long as the Chief activated his ability, everything would get better!

After all, it was a group buff, and its power was considerable.

The more Warriors who fell, the stronger the enhancement effect, making it a trump card capable of turning the tide.

The Vulture Tribe Warriors fought and retreated, awaiting the Chief’s support.

Little did they know that their Chief was already tied up like a mummy, only able to squirm, in the main camp?

Jin Yu was also not in a hurry; she clearly knew that her mission was not to eliminate the enemy, but to tie them down and disperse their combat power.

Once Cheng Zhen achieved the beheading plan or Old Xu Frontal defeat the enemy, the Vulture Tribe would no longer be a threat.

The two sides continued to tangle, and after waiting for a long time, the Vulture Tribe Warriors still hadn’t seen their Chief, finally showing a hint of panic.

“Be-behind! Our tents!”

A startled cry attracted everyone’s attention, and then all the Vulture Warriors’ faces changed dramatically.

Thick smoke was rising from where they were stationed.

That was their Chief’s tent!

In an instant, the Vulture Warriors no longer had any mood to fight; they quickly turned and rushed towards the encampment, searching for their Chief.

Seeing the enemy flee, the Sand Fox Tribe Warriors naturally pursued their victory. Moreover, Cheng Zhen was still in the heart of the enemy camp, and they desperately wanted to find their Chief.

Over a hundred people ran wildly, stirring up clouds of dust that made Jin Yu cough.

She was about to follow in pursuit when she suddenly remembered something, stopped, and looked back.

“You actually didn’t run away in the chaos?” Jin Yu looked at the man with triangular eyes who was still standing in place, quite surprised.

Xiao Xi wiggled his Michelin-man-bound arms, “Where do you think I can run to like this? Besides, if I run around in the Desert by myself, I probably won’t live long.”

Jin Yu showed a somewhat regretful expression; if Xiao Xi had run away, she might have been able to get a little revenge, like catching him and breaking his legs or something.

“Let’s go.” She said no more and walked towards the Vulture Tribe’s main camp.

“Actually, now is a good time for us to talk,” Xiao Xi said, looking at the departing crowd.

“Talk? What do I have to talk about with you?” Jin Yu didn’t even turn her head, not wanting to look at this person again.

Xiao Xi slowly said, “Of course, it’s about cooperation.”

“What??? ”

Jin Yu stopped in her tracks, unable to resist turning back to examine Xiao Xi, as if she really wanted to figure out what kind of species this guy actually was.

“Cooperation?” Jin Yu pointed to herself, then to Xiao Xi, “You? Me? What??? ”

She was truly astonished, unable to fathom where this person got the nerve to bring up cooperation again after having stabbed her in the back.

Was he really not afraid that she would get so angry she’d kill him right here?

Considering that this guy also wanted to train Uncle Ba, Jin Yu began to doubt his mental state and even wanted to walk faster to get away from him.

“Precisely because we can’t cooperate anymore, that’s why it’s most suitable for cooperation.”

Xiao Xi smiled, but his next words made Jin Yu’s pupils contract:

“You guys want to achieve a special ending, right?”
