This Bi Jie, along with the Bi Fang Tribe barbarian soldiers under his command, was like a stubborn patch of adhesive that clung tenaciously, incessantly engaging in battle.

If this continues, the scarce military force of the Danque Tribe will eventually be exhausted.

More importantly, it is a waste of his time.

Time is precious, and Mo Hua still has many things to attend to.

He thought for a moment, then sought out the barbarian general Chi Feng to understand the battle situation.

Such matters of ”military operations” were normally not something Chi Feng would discuss with anyone due to his nature.

He is a barbarian general of the Danque Tribe, battle-hardened, with a mid-stage Golden Core cultivation.

With this level of cultivation, he could act as an elder with real power in the Danque Tribe, only a rank below the Great Chief and the Chief Elder.

On the battlefield, he similarly possesses absolute ”authority,” and it was impossible for him to listen to a ”layman” at the Foundation Establishment level offering unsolicited advice.

But Mo Hua is different.

Mo Hua is a shaman.

After spending time together and witnessing Mo Hua’s various almost ”miraculous” deeds firsthand, Chi Feng gradually accepted this fact, which was initially difficult for him to grasp.

Since Mo Hua asked, he definitely had to answer.

Despite the shaman lord living behind the scenes and being accustomed to a life of comfort, he surely lacks experience in commanding soldiers and fighting battles.

Chi Feng thought briefly and then said slowly:

”This Shugu Skill Department is located in a valley, originally easy to defend but hard to attack.”

”But the issue is that the Bi Fang Tribe has already attacked once, and they know the situation inside the valley like the back of their hand.”

”Now, with our Danque Tribe stationed in the valley, we’ve gone from being ’easy to defend, hard to attack’ to being ’a turtle in a jar.’

”The Bi Fang Tribe will lurk in the shadows, suddenly baring their fangs and launching at us.”

”And their ’fangs’ are coated with bloodfang poison; over time, we’ll inevitably bleed to death.”

Chi Feng gave Mo Hua a glance and acknowledged:

”If it weren’t for you, Mr. Witch, seeking the Divine Lord’s blessing and using the Mysterious Sacred Pattern to save our Danque Tribe’s people, the situation would be even worse...”

Mo Hua nodded and asked, ”Is there no way to fend off Bi Fang Tribe’s ambushes?”

Chi Feng replied, ”In a frontal battle, we’re not afraid. But the Bi Fang Tribe is insidious and cunning, using rare venoms, and their ambushes’ timing and locations are unpredictable.”

Mo Hua roughly understood.

Never mind the bloodfang poison.

The Wood Revitalization Formation can just offset the erosion of this poison on vitality.

But Bi Fang Tribe’s ambushes are difficult to counter.

The Danque Tribe has few people, making it hard to set up defenses.

Now, needing to prepare barbarian armor supplies and other materials, they can’t be deployed and can only take the hits passively.

And when the Bi Fang Tribe will attack, and from where is completely unpredictable.

Anywhere, anytime, is possible.

To counter the Bi Fang Tribe’s ambushes, the Danque Tribe has to constantly stay alert and on guard.

Our troops disturbed by enemy actions.

This kind of all-day passive ”defense” is extremely exhausting for military strength and mental energy.

A slight mistake could lead to substantial losses.

Mo Hua mused, ”So, if we know in advance when and where the Bi Fang Tribe will launch an ambush, we can be assured of victory, correct...”

The barbarian general Chi Feng felt this shaman lord was speaking the obvious.

Know yourself and know your enemy, and you shall never fear the result of a hundred battles.

If we know when and where the others will attack, isn’t being assured of victory a given?

The disparity in frontal strength between the Danque Tribe and Bi Fang Tribe isn’t that significant.

This ”information” advantage could almost be considered a ”decisive” advantage.

Mo Hua asked, ”In typical military operations, how would you eavesdrop on information?”

Chi Feng replied, ”There are many methods. You can insert a spy on the other side to relay information.”

”You can send scouts to investigate the frontline movements.”

”You can station sentries to fortify defenses and guard against Bi Fang Tribe’s attacks...”

”But Bi Fang Tribe people, being experienced with years of warfare, and Bi Jie with his high talent and cunning mind, these methods are too idealized to be reliably effective.”

First of all, planting a spy is impossible.

Scouts will surely be discovered and killed by Bi Jie.

Sentries also have difficulty detecting the Bi Fang Tribe barbarian soldiers moving at night.

Thus, the Danque Tribe has suffered from Bi Fang Tribe’s assaults and disturbances, finding it unbearable.

Mo Hua nodded, ”I understand, let me think.”

Chi Feng was slightly stunned, not sure what exactly this shaman lord was thinking.

But before he could ask, Mo Hua had already turned and left, returning to the stone chamber.

Chi Feng watched Mo Hua’s back, frowning.

...

Inside the stone chamber.

Mo Hua instructed others not to disturb him, then took out a fire basin, demon bone, phosphorous fire, and used the Great Wilderness Demon Bone Divination Skill to perform a divination.

This is the simplest and quickest method Mo Hua could think of at the moment to ”predict” the Bi Fang Tribe’s movements.

Divination.

Currently, infiltrating a spy is impossible.

Sentries are not very meaningful.

He could act as a scout, using Stealth Technique to sneak into the Bi Fang Tribe’s camp to gather intelligence.

But he is now the shaman lord.

It’s unheard of for a shaman lord to personally go into enemy lines as a ”scout.”

Furthermore, Bi Jie is at the mid-stage Golden Core level, and if Bi Jie sets his sights on Mo Hua, it would also be dangerous for him.

To deal with so many people, the cost of formations is high and easily causes accidental harm.

After thinking over and over, he could only fully embrace the role of ”religious con men” and use causality to perform ”divination.”

Having encountered pitfalls before, Mo Hua now uses divination more cautiously.

He doesn’t dare divine his Uncle, large heavenly secret causalities, the fate of the Great Wilderness, or other high-level figures to avoid offending certain ”taboos” and attracting unwanted attention.
