The pursuers did not know that the previous night, all the hiders had not transformed into inanimate objects, but instead had uniformly taken the form of the pursuers themselves, thus gaining the ability to attack the pursuers.
After sunrise, the hiders formed small squads and started reaching out to the pursuers in various ways to build relationships. They then devised plans to disperse the pursuers and took the opportunity to kill them off.
Since the vast majority of the pursuers had run out of their food supplies, it meant that they really only had the morning left for hunting. This made most pursuers less tense as they awaited the end of the game, expecting the roles to switch afterward.
Exactly because of this, facing the unsuspecting pursuers, the hiders coordinated with each other, employing a strategy of luring the tiger away from the mountain. They typically earned the pursuers' trust quite easily and led them to isolated places to eliminate them.
