Crossing To The Primitive With A Game Panel

Waves splashed, countless rafts docked on the shore.

Lu Yu initially didn’t want to go with Tai Lie and the others. While the competition seemed to be about who could find the fire first, it was actually a large-scale Group battle. Even if they obtained the artifact buried under the fire, as long as they didn’t bring it back, there was a possibility of it being snatched by others, which would inevitably lead to a fight.

Despite undergoing extensive physical training, Lu Yu’s combat abilities still couldn’t keep up with the warriors who fought beasts every day, so he didn’t want to be a burden.

He handed the neatly organized backpack to Tai Lie.

Tai Lie took it and looked down at him. “Come with us.”

Lu Yu: “Huh?”

Tai Lie furrowed his brows, looking at him. “I’m worried about leaving you here.”

Lu Yu raised his chin slightly. “I have Ah Bu and the others with me.”

All of them didn’t come; only thirty-something people came, and some Matai people stayed in the Wilderness Plain. But even if Tai Lie and the others left, there were still over twenty people with Lu Yu.

Tai Lie didn’t say anything.

Lu Yu looked at him for two seconds and understood his meaning from his eyes. With him around, and considering there were far more people here than those going to the islands, in this lawless society, it might not necessarily be safer here than going to the islands.

Lu Yu hesitated. “But what about Ah Bu and the others…”

Tai Lie didn’t hesitate. “If it’s dangerous, they’ll run.”

“Alright.”

Lu Yu had nothing more to say.

“Then I’ll go with you guys.”

Lu Yu slung a small beast skin bag diagonally across his chest and carried a small grass basket on his back. In fact, they were just for show, as he had the storage ring. After getting ready, he boarded the raft and sat with Tai Lie.

After the person standing on the high rock shouted through the horn, all the rafts rushed out like arrows leaving the bowstring, and the previously calm sea suddenly boiled.

The sound of breaking waves, shouts, the wind… all mixed together.

Lu Yu could tell just by listening how grand the scene was. The reason for listening was that he couldn’t open his eyes anymore…

Now, the rafts that took the lead among them were Lu Yu and the others. Le Shui and the others almost turned the raft into a speedboat. The sea breeze hit Lu Yu’s face unpreparedly, making it impossible for him to even open his eyes, let alone speak.

Lu Yu and Tai Lie had discussed it. Rather than passively snatching from others, it was better to take the initiative from the beginning. Then, after obtaining the artifact, rush to the shore at the fastest speed.

However, Le Shui and the others were too enthusiastic…

Just as Lu Yu was thinking this, the sound of the fierce wind suddenly intruded with a loud breaking wave.

Lu Yu frowned, trying hard to open his eyes and look to the side.

Behind and to their left, a raft was catching up!

Lu Yu was slightly surprised. Before he could finish being surprised, several other rafts also caught up from behind.

Le Shui and the others also noticed, swinging the wooden paddles used for rowing even harder.

Lu Yu held onto Tai Lie’s arm, leaned to the side, and opened the game panel to check the people on these rafts.

Besides the “Common People” and what seemed to be the “Altered People” from the three major tribes, Lu Yu unexpectedly spotted the “Evolved People.”

Another appearance of the “Evolved People,” aside from Cha Zhe!

Narrowing his eyes, Lu Yu carefully observed the people on the raft.

Tall and robust, but different from the perfect and vigorous Matais, the muscles of the people from the three major tribes were knotted like small mountains. Are those the people that Wu Li mentioned…?

Lu Yu noticed that perhaps because they were too muscular, the ten of them split into three rafts, closely following. Each raft had only two people rowing, but their speed was astonishing.

However, after careful observation, Lu Yu also noticed that including the other rafts, these people’s rowing techniques were extremely skilled, clearly indicating they were experienced and well-trained. In contrast, Le Shui and the others had only learned for a few days, and their rowing was entirely based on brute force, lacking skill, so it wasn’t surprising they couldn’t compete with them.

In the end, Lu Yu and the others only managed to reach the shore of the island a small step ahead.

Just as Le Shui and the others dragged the raft ashore, those people also arrived.

“Let’s go!” Tai Lie glanced and pulled Lu Yu’s hand, ordering in a deep voice.

Identifying the direction where the dense smoke rose, Lu Yu and the others plunged into the dense forest on the island.

The jungle on this island was different from the Beast plains, more like a tropical rainforest. The trees were stout and tall, with numerous branches and tangled roots hanging down, hindering Lu Yu and their running.

Shan Pu angrily grabbed a branch blocking their way and forcefully pulled it aside, throwing it to the side. “The trees here are so strange! The trees on our side are better, one tree is one tree, neat and tidy.”

“Use weapons!” Lu Yu took out their weapons from the ring and quickly distributed them.

Shan Pu inserted the stone blade into the specially made beast skin belt. “Lu Yu, give me a big knife!”

“Okay.” Lu Yu took out a roughly half-meter-long iron chopping knife for him. In this environment, this was indeed more useful than the stone blade.

With suitable weapons in hand and the formation arranged, the group’s marching speed increased significantly.

After about twenty minutes, the Matai man who was scouting ahead suddenly gestured, and upon seeing this gesture, the team immediately stopped. The man sniffed hard, then turned around and whispered a report.

“It should be a brown bear.”

“I didn’t expect to encounter a large wild beast,” Shan Pu eagerly said, “Let’s catch it while we’re at it!”

The scout shook his head with a serious expression. “The scent I detected is definitely not something a brown bear can emit. It’s either a nest, or this brown bear is particularly large, as big as four or five adult bears!”

“Four or five that big?!” Shan Pu’s mouth widened, “That’s a super-sized wild beast, right? How could a brown bear be that big? Could there be a group? Wait, brown bears usually act alone. Ming Shan, could you be mistaken?”

Ming Shan gave him a look. “When have you seen me make a mistake?”

His nose could distinguish dozens of different flowers mixed together, can identify each of them.

Shan Pu fell silent, scratching his head. “Then what’s going on…”

Lu Yu frowned slightly. “Since that’s the case, let’s not bother with that bear. Ming Shan, lead us away from it.” Tai Lie and the others also captured a Brown bears, it dropped items like “Large Stone Hammers,” which were ordinary weapons.

It wasn’t necessary to waste time on it. Moreover, according to Ming Shan’s words, this bear might be difficult to deal with.

Ming Shan nodded. “Alright! Let’s move quickly; it seems like that bear is coming our way!”

After saying that, everyone was ready to follow him in a different direction.

“There’s someone!” Xia Cao beside Lu Yu suddenly exclaimed.

She raised the bow and arrow in her hand and shot an arrow towards the distance.

Her arrow had just been shot out, and a arrow came from the opposite side as well, possibly influenced by Xia Cao’s sudden action. The arrow barely missed Lu Yu and the others, landing just two meters ahead of them.

Realizing there were enemies, Shan Pu and the others quickly tightened their formation, surrounding Lu Yu in the middle, forming a defensive formation.

Lu Yu calmly took out a small shield.

Everyone stared at the direction of the arrows, waiting for two minutes, but nothing happened.

It was quiet all around.

If it weren’t for the arrow lying conspicuously on the ground, everyone would have thought Xia Cao had made a mistake.

Xia Cao whispered, “The enemy is very good at hiding.”

Just now, if she hadn’t noticed the abnormal movement of the branches on that tree, she wouldn’t have realized.

It seemed that the arrow she shot didn’t hit anyone; it just passed through the leaves without any noise.

Lu Yu put away the shield. “Shan Pu, go pick up that arrow, and let’s continue.”

Getting ready for a fight, Shan Pu asked, “Huh?”

Lu Yu replied, “The other party won’t fight us. The most important thing now is to find the bonfire. They’re probably just trying to disturb us and delay our progress.”

“Oh, I see!” Shan Pu didn’t hesitate anymore and quickly went to pick up the arrow to hand it to Lu Yu.

Lu Yu took it, his eyes narrowing.

The arrowhead of this arrow was… made of iron!

Though black and unpolished, it was indeed made of iron.

“Lu Yu?” Seeing Lu Yu staring at the arrow, Shan Pu asked in confusion.

Lu Yu put away the arrow. “Let’s go.”

Finally, they reached the bonfire.

The flames were raging, emitting billowing smoke.

Shan Pu exclaimed in surprise, “We’re so lucky, we’re actually the first ones?”

Despite being delayed by someone’s arrow and taking a detour because of the bear, they still managed to be the first.

Excitedly, Shan Pu said, “I’ll put out the fire!”

“Wait!” Lu Yu held him back. “Don’t put out the fire yet.”

“Huh?”

Lu Yu remained calm. “Shan Pu, how did we find our way here?”

“Followed the black smoke.”

“And what if there was no smoke?”

“W-what?”

Lu Yu stared at the crackling bonfire. “If we were still on the way and found no smoke, we would know that the tool had been taken. Then we would naturally turn back and wait for the person who took the tool at the shore.”

“So you mean…”

“We shouldn’t extinguish the bonfire. Others will continue to come this way, and fewer people will be there to intercept us at the shore.”

Shan Pu’s eyes sparkled. “Lu Yu, you’re really smart!”

Lu Yu smiled. “Alright, stop praising me. Let’s quickly see how to get the things out of the bonfire. I wonder if using sticks to poke them out will work…”

The group quickly walked to the bonfire.

Upon seeing what was inside the bonfire, Lu Yu was speechless. Thinking of using sticks to poke, he was indeed too naive.

Once they got closer, they discovered that inside the billowing black smoke of the bonfire was a nearly one-meter-high, hollow, barrel-shaped stone tool. The surface of the stone tool had turned slightly black from being burnt.

Shan Pu was stunned. “How do we get this out?”

Lu Yu observed around and sighed in relief. “Fortunately, this stone tool is placed on top of a pile of firewood. As long as we thread a few wooden planks from underneath, we can lift it out.”

Saying so, Lu Yu took out wooden planks from the ring…

Even if the stone tool was solid, Matais could easily lift it, let alone it being hollow.

After lifting the stone tool out, it was still hot from being burnt, and couldn’t be touched with hands.

Lu Yu frowned. He was thinking of putting the stone tool into the ring first, then taking it out when they reached the shore. Although putting it into the ring required touching the object with hands, it would only be for a moment.

He was about to speak when there was suddenly movement in the nearby jungle.

“Haha! We’re the first!!”

The voice arrived before the person was seen.
