Crossing To The Primitive With A Game Panel

Lu Yu was right. The storage ring couldn’t be used anymore, but the search function on the game panel was still available.

Killing camels bare-handed was a bit difficult, but Matais were not ordinary people after all. After training for so long, they easily took down the camels and generously dropped several large machetes for Lu Yu and the others.

With handy weapons, under Tai Lie’s command, the group formed a suitable formation and charged towards the oasis…

—

At night, the group lit a bonfire near the oasis and roasted camel meat, while the corpse of the giant bug was thrown far away.

The sky was filled with stars, shining even brighter than in the real world.

Lu Yu fiddled with the bonfire, while Tai Lie sat beside him, quietly guarding him.

Lu Yu was in high spirits, “…it’s a good thing you blocked that giant bug with the knife. I didn’t expect it to burrow so quickly in the sand. Unfortunately, the bug didn’t drop any treasures, but even if it did, it wouldn’t be useful since this is a dream. These machetes probably can’t be taken out either…”

Tai Lie paused for a moment and interrupted him, “Lu Yu.”

Lu Yu added some twigs to the fire and stirred them. “What’s wrong?”

Tai Lie said calmly, “Where did you come from, after all?”

Lu Yu hesitated for a moment.

Tai Lie continued, “When you first arrived here, you didn’t seem surprised.”

Indeed, at that time, Shan Pu and the others were all very shocked to find a place covered in yellow sand, but Lu Yu wasn’t surprised at all. He even blurted out that there would be an oasis.

Under the flickering firelight, a shadow was cast on Lu Yu’s lowered eyelashes.

Tai Lie continued, “And when the Great Drift arrived, you seemed to know nothing. With your abilities, how could you have been in such a sorry state?”

“In the past, I could have overlooked it, but now, I am your partner, a partner who will spend the rest of my life with you.”

Lu Yu lowered his head and drew circles on the ground with a stick. After a while, he whispered softly, “Tai Lie, what if I said I come from the future, would you believe me?”

Tai Lie didn’t hesitate, “I would.”

Lu Yu raised his head and looked at him without blinking, “What if I said I come from thousands of years later, would you still believe me?”

A gentle curve appeared at the corner of Tai Lie’s mouth, “Why would you think I wouldn’t believe you?”

Lu Yu widened his eyes, “Thousands of years later! Don’t you think that’s… very strange and miraculous?”

Tai Lie’s expression lost its seriousness and became somewhat lazy, “Where are we now?”

“What?”

Tai Lie continued, “You can create places like this out of nowhere. From thousands of years in the future, I don’t find anything strange or miraculous about it.”

Uh… now that he mentioned it, compared to his crossing, creating villages out of thin air, and weaving dreamscapes… seemed even more strange and miraculous.

Lu Yu scratched his chin.

There was a hint of tenderness in Tai Lie’s eyes, “What is it like thousands of years from now? Are there more people than now?”

“Of course, there are a lot more! A whole lot more!” Lu Yu became excited, dropping the stick and gesturing with both hands, “Do you know, at that time, I can have plenty of food without even going out, and I can also know what’s happening all over the world…”

—

Three days later, Lu Yu and the others finally passed this level. Although time here didn’t affect real-world time, the physical and mental fatigue was real. Lu Yu didn’t ask everyone to continue passing levels and closed the dream training ground, letting everyone get a good night’s sleep.

Lu Yu opened his eyes, sat up, and stretched lazily. Halfway through his stretch, he noticed something different. It seemed like his body had gained more strength, unlike the previous feeling of emptiness after waking up from physical training. It truly felt like his body was filled with energy, although the tiredness had increased.

Lu Yu walked out, and Shan Pu saw him, running over like the wind. Looking around, he excitedly whispered, “Lu Yu, I feel like I can run faster now!”

Lu Yu nodded, “Hmm.”

During the battle with the giant bug, Shan Pu was responsible for luring the monster. Facing a creature that could burrow in the sand, Shan Pu truly brought out all his skills, sprinting recklessly.

Scratching his head, Shan Pu chuckled, “And also, when I woke up this morning, I almost got it wrong, thinking that three days had passed here too.”

Lu Yu smiled, “You’ll get used to it.” Who knows what kind of strange places the next levels will require them to stay in for a few days.

—

In the evening, Lu Yu was preparing food for the night. Perhaps because the Great Drift had arrived, everyone was busy, and fewer people came to him for food. Moreover, the dropped treasures were all weapons and armor. Even if he searched, there were no drops of potions or the like.

Lu Yu scooped the vegetables from the pot onto a stone plate when suddenly, a person appeared beside him without a sound.

Lu Yu calmly finished serving the vegetables and looked up, asking, “How did you come here? Our transaction has already been completed.”

The person was Zhou Lang.

Zhou Lang sneered, “Who said the transaction was completed? If the food you make isn’t tasty, then the transaction isn’t complete!”

Lu Yu wiped his hands on his grass apron and smiled back, “If it’s not tasty, you can bring it back, and I’ll make it again for you.”

Zhou Lang choked. How could he bring it back when it had been eaten by that witch?

Lu Yu’s expression remained calm. “Spit it out. What are you here for?”

Zhou Lang said loudly, “I want to exchange goods for your food!”

Lu Yu glanced at him. “No exchange.”

“You!” Zhou Lang gritted his teeth, hesitated for a moment, looked around, and lowered his voice, “If you make me food, I’ll tell you some important information!”

Lu Yu’s lips drooped slightly, and he frowned slightly, “What information?”

Zhou Lang replied, “You decide whether you want it or not!”

Lu Yu stared at him for a few seconds, then suddenly smiled, “You tell me first, and after you finish, I’ll consider it.”

Zhou Lang pursed his lips, thought for a moment, then stamped his foot, “Fine!”

—

This night, Lu Yu didn’t arrange multi-person training sessions anymore. Tomorrow is the tribal battle, so he let them rest well tonight.

Many tribes in the island where the tribal battle is arranged have psychological shadows, so despite the excitement, many people are hesitating whether to go or not.

Just when everyone was hesitating, a piece of news spread rapidly: “The three major tribes have already gone!” “The strength of the three major tribes is very strong this year, they might even defeat the people of that barren land!”

During the last Great Drift, the three major tribes suffered greatly, but at that time, they hadn’t cultivated so many powerful warriors yet. Somehow, recently everyone often sees the warriors of the three major tribes, each one remarkably strong. Some even saw them lifting a red boar alone.

Moreover, looking at the momentum of the three major tribes this year, it’s much stronger than last time.

Everyone started to compare. Those who were hesitant originally also decided to go. Maybe they could reclaim some territory, and when the three major tribes feast, they might be able to join in for some soup.

And there’s one more important thing— “I heard that the witch has returned!”

“Yes, I heard too. If the three major tribes can bring the witch back, they must not fear those people!”

Thinking like this makes sense. If the strength of the three major tribes is still inferior to the people there, how could those bandits bring back the witch?

“Well, then, our Da Yu Tribe will go join in the fun!”

“We’ll go too!”

People brought their warriors and food from their respective tribes and rushed toward the beach with a lot of noise.

Lu Yu and his group were also ready long ago, following the crowd and heading there together.

—

This island is the only one Lu Yu and his group haven’t visited. Stepping onto the gray-black sand beach, Lu Yu glanced around and found that this island was surprisingly similar to theirs, with dense vegetation, mountains, and water.

The beach was also very large, but there were too many people, densely packed.

Lu Yu furrowed his brows.

There must be gathering places just like in the Beast Plain here too, right? Isn’t it called the Wilderness Plain? Why is everyone crowding here instead of going there?

Lu Yu was puzzled for a few minutes when suddenly a loud roar came from the left.

The crowd’s gaze involuntarily shifted towards them. Several people stood on a high boulder by the sea, one of them holding something up in front of his face.

Lu Yu squinted and recognized the object in his hand as a horn, but couldn’t make out the material. Previously, when Tai Lie fought in the arena, he made a simple horn out of grass, but it didn’t seem as useful as this person’s. Seeing everyone looking at him, he paused and then directly shouted through the horn, “Let me introduce the rules of this tribal battle to everyone!”

There are many small islands behind the wilderness island. Simply put, the rule is to designate one island first, then send people to the center of that island to light a fire emitting long smoke. Buried in the fire is an artifact. Whoever can retrieve that artifact first and return from the island will be considered victorious. However, this victory is only temporary. To obtain the ultimate victory, they must engage in a duel with the tribe that buried the artifact.

As for which island it is, the people of the Wilderness Plain adopted a very mysterious method—burning turtle shells. After a series of operations, they chose an island according to the instructions of their deity.

In Lu Yu’s view, the entire rule was full of loopholes, seeming unfair from every angle. For example, what kind of beasts are on the island, which direction is the fastest route to the center—surely the tribes of this island know these best, leaving others clueless.

However, fairness wasn’t really the point. Lu Yu thought somewhat cynically that if one talked about unfairness, he and the Matais were the biggest unfairness…

From early morning until evening, the crowd finally saw the island emitting black smoke. Standing on the rock, the person shouted again, “Each tribe can only have ten participants! And they must hand over certain supplies.”

These supplies were piled up on the beach, guarded by everyone. The tribes that decided to participate had already begun preparing rafts.

Lu Yu glanced around, seeing Wu Li, Yin He, Zhou Lang… even Mao Pu, with several strong-looking warriors by his side. Those warriors looked unfamiliar, definitely not from the original Blackwater Tribe.

Lu Yu raised an eyebrow. Shan Pu clenched his fist, excited and thrilled. “King, Lu Yu, let’s go too!”

Lu Yu and Tai Lie exchanged a glance.

Tai Lie nodded. “Let’s prepare the raft.”

“Alright!”
