Crossing To The Primitive With A Game Panel

Upon hearing the sound and realizing that someone was approaching, the Matai people quickly formed a defensive formation, encircling Lu Yu and the stone tools in the center.

Before being surrounded, Lu Yu, with quick reflexes, casually took out one of the stone tools from the ring and threw it into the fire.

Then Lu Yu was protected. By this time, the person speaking had already rushed out from the jungle.

The bonfire in the center of the clearing was still emitting black smoke.

The people from the Xin Yuan tribe saw the smoke from afar and thought the bonfire must still be burning, and the stone tools inside must not have been taken. So they were sure they were the first to reach the destination, feeling ecstatic.

This time, the person responsible for lighting the bonfire and preparing the stone tools was another tribe from the Wilderness Plain, the Lang Yuan tribe. Since they had no grudges with the Lang Yuan tribe, they chose this island, which was completely unfamiliar to them. Although they were instructed by the gods to burn the turtle shell, they didn’t believe it. The gods would not care.

To be the first to find the bonfire delighted them. They would take the stone tools back and defeat them later, telling everyone that their Xin Yuan tribe was the strongest tribe, and no one could stop them no matter what tricks they played.

The people of the Xin Yuan tribe were all excited, ready to rush to take the stone tools. But when they burst out of the jungle, they found a group of people already standing near the bonfire.

The Xin Yuan tribe hadn’t expected not to be the first, but seeing the fire still burning, they assumed the stone tools were still there. Although these people were one step ahead of them, they hadn’t had time to take the stone tools.

The Chief of the Xin Yuan tribe made a quick decision, gesturing for someone to fetch the stone tools while he and the others kept a close eye on Lu Yu and the others.

Lu Yu whispered to Tai Lie and Le Shui beside him, “Le Shui, put on your gloves. We’ll take the stone tools with us.”

Both nodded. Le Shui slung the machete behind him, took out the deer skin gloves from his front animal skin bag. Although the deer skin gloves couldn’t completely insulate heat, they provided some protection, making it much easier to handle the stone tools.

Tai Lie subtly moved his lips, then, as soon as Le Shui lifted the stone tool, Lu Yu gave the command to hurry away, and they did so.

Their actions were quick, and within seconds, everything was ready. Le Shui also approached the stone tools.

The extraordinary strength of the Matai people was a basic attribute, making it somewhat difficult for others, but it is very easy for Le Shui to lift this stone tool.

Once the stone tool was lifted, everyone swiftly fled. Their departure seemed scattered, but their formation subtly adjusted with their running, effectively blocking the view of the Xin Yuan tribe.

On the side of the Xin Yuan tribe, the person sent to fetch the stone tools also arrived at the bonfire, finding a stone bowl that Lu Yu had just thrown in. He had just extinguished the fire with sand and pulled out the stone bowl when Lu Yu’s group ran off.

The man inexplicably turned his head to look.

What’s going on?

Could it be that they, the mighty Xin Yuan tribe, scared them away?

As the stone bowl rolled on the ground a few times, the man picked it up and ran to the Chief, Da Luo. “Chief Da Luo, the stone tools have been taken.”

Da Luo of the Xin Yuan tribe was originally puzzled. Wondering, why those people who want to snatch the stone tools from them suddenly ran away.

But seeing his subordinate putting the stone bowl, he didn’t have time to think much. He assumed the other party recognized them, knew they couldn’t win, and tactfully ran away.

Da Luo picked up the stone bowl and looked at it, disdainfully saying, “The Lang Yuan tribe is stingy, using such a thing.”

Da Luo’s face suddenly changed.

He touched the inside of the stone bowl, feeling it was cold.

If the stone bowl had been burning in the bonfire all day, it couldn’t possibly be cold inside.

Then, thinking back to the people who had just run away without even trying to compete with them, if they didn’t even dare to fight, how could they participate in tribal battles?

“We’ve been deceived!” Da Luo smashed the stone bowl in anger, threw it on the ground, and ran in the direction where the group had disappeared. “Chase them!”

The other members of the Xin Yuan tribe, though not having touched the bowl and unaware of those people trickery, trusted their Chief. Without saying much, they followed their Chief in pursuit.

On Lu Yu’s side,

After running a few steps in the jungle and seeing the dense trees completely blocking their figures, Lu Yu was about to approach Le Shui to put the stone tools back into the ring when Tai Lie suddenly pulled him into his arms, using his body to shield him.

Almost at the same time, an arrow shot from the front, hitting exactly where Lu Yu had just stood.

The group quickly took up defensive positions.

Leading the way, Ming Shan’s face was solemn. “They must have smeared grass juice to conceal their scent. I didn’t smell anything.”

Xia Cao also said, “I didn’t see any figures.”

Lu Yu glanced at the arrow on the ground. Although half of the arrowhead had already sunk into the mud, there was still enough exposed to discern that the arrowhead was made of iron, just like the one used to ambush them before.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh.

Several more arrows shot over.

The arrows were all knocked down by the Matai people ahead with their weapons. Xia Cao also aimed in the direction, raising her specially made bow to return fire.

After Xia Cao shot an arrow, she immediately nocked another one. “Chief, what should we do now?”

Arrows continued to be shot from the other side, and only Xia Cao could shoot arrows on their side. However, the other side was well-concealed, and perhaps even had armor. After Xia Cao shot two arrows, it seemed to have no effect.

Furthermore, the archery skills of the opponents were much superior to those who had been sent by Qiu Guang to ambush them previously. Each arrow was powerful and extremely cunning.

Shan Pu quickly proposed, “King, how about you take Witch and hide first, and I’ll go up to deal with them.”

Tai Lie’s face was calm. He was about to speak when Ming Shan, who was fighting ahead, suddenly shouted, “Witch, people are coming from behind, it’s must be the ones from the bonfire earlier!”

Sure enough, they had been spotted.

Lu Yu knew his little tricks wouldn’t fool them for long if they had a bit of brains. He hadn’t planned to rely on deception anyway. His idea was to buy some time, put the stone tools into the ring, then jump onto Tai Lie’s back, and everyone would run at full speed.

The people by the bonfire, Lu Yu recognized with a glance, were the evolved species he had seen from the raft. As far as he knew, Cha Zhe had healing abilities.

Those evolved species definitely had something special, and judging by their size, they were not to be trifled with.

The people shooting arrows at them were also good at concealment and had iron weapons.

Now they were really caught between a rock and a hard place.

So, what to do?

Fight or retreat?

But running while being blocked by arrows from one side and retreating definitely wouldn’t work.

Tai Lie said solemnly, “Move towards the direction of the arrows, Shan Pu, don’t act alone.”

If that was the case, they would risk getting injured, but they had to take out the archers before anything else.

Everyone understood his command and stopped defending in place.

Tai Lie held Lu Yu tightly in his arms.

Lu Yu was fine, not too scared. He was wearing armor, and there was plenty of healing potion in the ring. As long as he didn’t get shot in the head, there was no danger to his life.

The archers seemed to have figured out their plan and didn’t intend to engage them head-on, shooting arrows while retreating.

They seemed adept at this terrain, moving between trees, leaving Lu Yu and the others unable to catch up. Moreover, the dense vegetation here often tripped them up.

Lu Yu and the others did not go back the same way they came. Instead, they ran for a short distance and then changed directions and took a new path.

This was Lu Yu’s suggestion. He thought, if the group from the bonfire caught up and faced two roads, there was at least a 50% chance that they would choose the wrong one.

But now this idea seems to be a bit flawed because not only did it slow their progress, but the pursuers behind them also caught up faster.

“The people from the bonfire become closer to us,” Ming Shan shouted.

Shan Pu said, “King, let’s fight them. Matai people fear no one.”

So what if there were two waves of enemies? They could still take out the enemies while enduring the arrows.

Xia Cao added, “Yeah, if we can’t take out the ones in front for a while, why don’t we deal with the ones behind first? And those shooting arrows at us might also attack the ones behind.”

Lu Yu understood her meaning but shook his head in disagreement. “Even if they attack the ones behind, they’ll deal with us first. After all, both sides know the stone tools are in our hands.”

Right.

Everyone had come for the stone tools. Now that the stone tools were in their hands, they would definitely kill them first.

But even so, they were still Matai people.

Xia Cao, the female warrior, erupted with energy. “Then let’s fight them and see who can die first.”

Other Matai people thought the same. After all, the second wave only consisted of ten people, the same number as them. With their training, they were not afraid of anyone.

Seeing everyone’s morale soaring, Lu Yu wondered if he had been too cautious. The Matais now were indeed a group of fierce beasts, and even if there were evolved species and a “dad” like him, so what? Cha Zhe’s abilities, as he saw it, weren’t earth-shattering. (“Dad” is likely a sarcastic or self-deprecating term used by Lu Yu to refer to himself. It suggests that while he may have some protective or guiding role similar to that of a father figure, he doesn’t see himself as particularly powerful or imposing, especially compared to the formidable Matai warriors around him.)

Alright, let’s fight.

Lu Yu exchanged a glance with Tai Lie.

Tai Lie nodded.

Lu Yu opened the ring, ready to take out his equipment, when he suddenly caught sight of something inside the ring.

Tai Lie said, “Get ready.”

“Wait a minute.” Lu Yu grabbed Tai Lie’s arm, stopping him, and tiptoed to ask Ming Shan ahead, “Ming Shan, can you still smell the scent of the bear? Is it far from us?”

Ming Shan sniffed and replied loudly, “I can still smell it, not too far from us.”

Lu Yu smiled, a hint of cunning in his eyes. “Then let’s not fight for now.”

Shan Pu, who was gearing up to fight, froze. “Huh? Why?”

Lu Yu’s lips curled up. “Let’s give both the front and back a sweet gift first.”

Shan Pu was shocked. “Why give them gifts? Shouldn’t we send them back home?”

At this moment, everyone was communicating while blocking arrows on the side. Shan Pu’s distraction almost got him shot by an arrow.

Lu Yu glared at him, warning him to be more careful.

“Of course, we’ll send them back home, but let our helper play first.”
