Crossing To The Primitive With A Game Panel

Shan Pu’s chest was heaving, his whole demeanor troubled. “How could there be such people?”

Lu Yu’s expression was equally grim. “There have always been people like this,” taking advantage of their strength to plunder others recklessly. Throughout history, no matter the level of civilization, such things have never been eradicated, even in modern times with well-developed social systems and laws.

However, he hadn’t expected the three major tribes to be so brazen this time.

Xia Cao said solemnly, “They might not give up easily.”

Shan Pu waved it off. “So what if they don’t? We’re going into battle tomorrow. As long as we win, let’s see what they have to say.”

Lu Yu seemed lost in thought, saying nothing.

A group of people who went to Lu Yu to ask them to hand over their right to fight walked out of the wooden hut.

Someone stopped the leading man with the sharp chin and the slim woman. “Lin Huo, Yang Hua, hold on a moment.”

They halted. The man with the sharp chin impatiently asked, “What is it?”

The man who stopped them wore a displeased expression. “We’ve come to demand this small tribe surrender their right to fight for the good of the entire Beast Plain. But your words were too much.”

The man with the sharp chin snorted disdainfully. “Why should we treat a small tribe with any respect? Chief Zhou Hai, you’re too soft. I really don’t know how you manage the tribe.”

Zhou Hai’s face darkened. “Fine. How you treat a small tribe is none of my concern. But are you really thinking of the Beast Plain’s welfare, or are you just working for the three major tribes?”

Zhou Hai’s words immediately resonated with two others. “Yeah, when we came, it was clearly agreed it was for the collective honor of the Beast Plain and to avoid unnecessary sacrifices from that small tribe. But you’re…”

“Hahaha!” The man with the sharp chin burst into sharp laughter, cutting him off. “What nonsense are you talking? Are you also going to be ungrateful like that small tribe? Don’t forget who built the Beast Plain. You’re all here thanks to the benevolence of the three major tribes. What collective honor? Without the three major tribes, what are you?”

Zhou Hai clenched his teeth. “That’s right, the Beast Plain was indeed built by the three major tribes. But we’ve also contributed a lot of fur and tools to live here. Even if we’re not as strong as the three major tribes, it doesn’t mean we’re inferior. Lin Huo, your Lin Tu tribe is just like us. Why…”

The man with the sharp chin sneered. “We’re different from you. We’ve already become a subordinate tribe of the three major tribes and will soon move to the inner area.” He gave Zhou Hai a sinister look. “Zhou Hai, I knew you were a thorn. The three major tribes have tolerated you for so many years, but soon they won’t tolerate you anymore. Yang Hua, let’s go.”

With that, the man with the sharp chin swaggered off with the slim woman.

The others exchanged glances, then someone awkwardly chuckled, said a couple of words, and followed suit.

In the end, only Zhou Hai and the two who had spoken up at the beginning remained.

“If Lin Huo becomes a subordinate tribe of the three major tribes, will our actions offend them?” one of them hesitated.

“If it offends them, so be it. We’ll just return to our own tribe and leave this place,” the other said.

Zhou Hai pursed his lips, feeling that Lin Huo had more to say.

At night, a piece of news spread throughout the tribes of the Beast Plain.

All the tribes residing in the Beast Plain Stone City must become subordinate tribes of the three major tribes.

Subordinate tribes, not affiliated tribes.

There was a big difference between subordinate tribes and affiliated tribes. Generally, subordinate tribes were forced to join another tribe due to enmity, and the people of subordinate tribes could be freely requisitioned by the superior tribe, with a large portion of their daily harvest and hunting handed over. The treatment was extremely harsh.

Almost no tribe would be willing to become a subordinate tribe of another tribe.

The Matai people were stunned to hear this news.

Mao Pu, who had come to deliver the news, said resentfully, “Have the three major tribes gone mad?”

Although he hadn’t been in the Beast Plain for long, he knew that living here required giving up a lot of fur and tools. But why would the three major tribes suddenly do this?

Lu Yu frowned. “Where did you hear this?”

Mao Pu replied, “Everyone’s saying the same thing. Some say that after this great drift, the three major tribes are going to drive out everyone who doesn’t want to become their subordinate tribe.”

Xia Cao was puzzled. “How could this happen? Even if there are many benefits in the Beast Plain Plains, no tribe would be willing to exchange them for becoming a subordinate tribe.”

Mao Pu shrugged. “I don’t know about that, but it seems the three major tribes are determined.”

He thought for a moment, then leaned in to the group and whispered, “I heard this regulation seems to be related to their witch. Some speculate that the witch heard hints from the gods, foreseeing a great disaster in the near future, and only by hiding in the Beast Plain could they escape.”

Lu Yu nodded. “That makes sense. But no matter what, if the three major tribes really decide to do this, they will announce it when the time comes.”

Seeing him so composed, Mao Pu felt a little anxious. “Lu Yu, what do you decide to do? Are you really going to become a subordinate tribe of the three major tribes?” He might spend every day in the Beast Plain, but it didn’t mean he had forgotten about the Blackwater tribe, nor did it mean he was willing to let his tribe become slaves to the three major tribes.

“Of course not,” Lu Yu said.

“Mao Pu, what about you?”

“King, a group of people has barged in,” a Matai person pushed open the door and walked in, interrupting the conversation inside.

Lu Yu and Tai Lie stood up and walked out.

Thirty or forty strong warriors wielding bone knives and wearing wooden armor stood in a row on the open ground, each with a cold expression.

Lu Yu felt a sense of familiarity at first glance, quickly recalling the resemblance of these people’s expressions to the young man from the three major tribes who had come to buy ten crabs from him before.

Sweeping his gaze over their exposed skin, Lu Yu noticed scars on some of their arms, similar to those on the young man.

“Who are you?” Shan Pu asked sharply.

A person pushed through the crowd and stepped forward.

It was the sharp-chinned man who had come to find them in the evening.

“I’m here on behalf of the three major tribes to tell you that you’re not allowed to live in the Beast Plain anymore. Get out of here quickly,” the sharp-chinned man said smugly.

Xia Cao questioned, “We’ve given a lot of fur. Why do you have the right to drive us out?”

The sharp-chinned man sneered, “I don’t care what you’ve given. I command you to leave now, or else…”

He glanced at the warriors beside him, the threat in his words clear.

It was obvious that this retaliation came because they hadn’t agreed to hand over their right to fight to the three major tribes.

Shan Pu and the others were indignant.

They didn’t mind not being allowed to stay here, but now it was dark, and everyone knew how dangerous the jungle was at night. The three major tribes coming to drive them away at this time was clearly deliberate, intending to let them die.

Although the Matai people were warlike and impulsive, they weren’t fools.

Lu Yu fell silent for a moment, then turned to instruct Shan Pu and Xia Cao, “Pack up our things. We’re leaving.”

“Lu Yu,” Shan Pu opened his mouth, but seeing the expression on their witch’s face, he swallowed his words and responded, “Yes.”

Xia Cao nodded as well.

With the order given, the Matai people began to act.

The sharp-chinned man sneered disdainfully, “A bunch of cowards.”

This was his first time having the authority to command the battle squad of the three major tribes, and his earlier words were also deliberately provocative, wanting to test the strength of the battle squad against this small tribe. He didn’t expect this small tribe to be so spineless. It was already dark, yet they still dared to run outside.

Glancing at Tai Lie beside Lu Yu, the sharp-chinned man sneered, “Just such a coward tribe has a King, a coward leader.”

This hit a nerve in Lu Yu’s heart. In modern times, after his grandfather passed away, as a descendant of the royal chef, he had endured countless rumors and gossip, but he had grown accustomed to them. He could let them talk about him, but when it came to Tai Lie, he found himself unable to bear it at all, feeling a surge of anger rising from the bottom of his heart.

Lu Yu stared at the sharp-chinned man, his voice cold as ice, “Take back your words and apologize.”

The sharp-chinned man laughed loudly, “I can’t hear what you’re saying.”

Lu Yu said each word deliberately, “You insulted my King. If you don’t apologize, we don’t mind going to war with you.”

The sharp-chinned man laughed, “You want to go to war? Bring it on. Let’s see who’s afraid of whom.” He was eager for this small tribe to die quickly.

Seeing that he understood what was on his mind, Lu Yu said coldly, “Indeed, the three major tribes are formidable. We may not have the upper hand in battle, but with so many of us, when it comes to fighting, there’s no problem in targeting a specific person.”

The sharp-chinned man knew that the person Lu Yu referred to was him. For a moment, cold sweat broke out. This person was right. They were only a few dozen people. Even if they couldn’t beat the battle squad of the three major tribes, he didn’t expect the battle squad to fight desperately to protect him. After all, when the person above gave the order, he was present.

The sharp-chinned man cleared his throat and, after a moment of reluctance, gritted his teeth, “Consider it unsaid.”

‘Damn this pathetic little tribe. Let’s see how you’ll be torn apart by wild beasts once you’re out of the city.’

The sharp-chinned man thought that saying those words was enough, but he didn’t know that Tai Lie was the thorn in Lu Yu’s heart. Insulting Tai Lie and thinking he could get away with just one sentence was simply wishful thinking.

Lu Yu glanced at him sternly, then turned and walked away, approaching the stone basin. He took out a bottle of corrupted potion he had obtained from a wild beast before from his ring and poured all of it into the clear water in the basin without leaving a trace.

Lifting the stone basin, he walked a few meters away from the sharp-chinned man and poured it over him without hesitation.

“What are you doing?” The sharp-chinned man sensed his intention and jumped back, but he wasn’t agile enough and still got drenched in water. He shook off the water from his body in frustration.

Lu Yu smiled faintly, “This is a custom of our tribe. If someone says disgusting things, they’ll be splashed with water to remove bad luck.”

The sharp-chinned man was furious, “Is this the only way you can vent your anger? Splash away. I actually feel quite cool.”

But talk aside, it was still uncomfortable to have the fur skirt wet. He shook the fur skirt and turned to the leader of the battle squad of the three major tribes, saying, “I’m going back first. Make sure they leave. Don’t delay for even a moment.” It was better to leave early. These people only dared to splash water now. Who knew what they would dare to do later?

The man with a cold expression nodded slightly.

The sharp-chinned man snorted, turned and walked away. After taking a few steps, he felt a bit itchy on his belly. Ignoring it, he scratched it and continued walking back to his wooden hut.

Although Lu Yu didn’t know what the corrupted potion was specifically used for, he could tell from its name that it wouldn’t feel good when applied to the body. However, it was a pity not to see its effect firsthand.

Lu Yu pondered for a moment. He thought that the water must have diluted the potion. Otherwise, based on his experience using growth potions, it should have taken effect immediately.

Soon, Shan Pu and the others packed up everything.

Lu Yu didn’t speak again, and Tai Lie ordered them to set off.

Before leaving, Mao Pu hesitated for a long time and finally made up his mind to go with Lu Yu and the others. However, he was persuaded by Lu Yu to stay for now.

“You can stay here for today. After all, we’ll participate in the tribal battle tomorrow. When we win, you can still decide to join us later. There’s no rush tonight.”

Mao Pu agreed after some thought and handed Lu Yu some torches, saying, “These are things I exchanged from other lands. They burn for a long time.”

Lu Yu smiled, “Thank you.”

Mao Pu chuckled, “No need to thank me. Maybe in the future, we’ll be mingling with you in Blackwater tribe”

Outside the stone city, as expected, the people from the three major tribes issued another warning, telling Lu Yu and the others not to camp within their sight.

Lu Yu didn’t bother to argue with them and just walked away without looking back.

Shan Pu asked, “Where are we going, King, Lu Yu?”

Lu Yu had already decided, “Let’s go to the seaside.”

Looking at the moonlight by the sea, it’s quite romantic, isn’t it?

“Yes,” the Matai people exclaimed excitedly.

Tai Lie approached Lu Yu and held his hand.

The warmth of his palm gave an unparalleled sense of security in this quiet night.

Lu Yu’s face flushed slightly, but instead of pulling away, he held on even tighter.

“You were angry for me just now,” Tai Lie said softly.

Lu Yu felt his face and ears heat up a bit now. He remembered his furious expression earlier, which must have been unattractive. Moreover, there were Matai people around with their ears pricked up, listening intently to their conversation. Couldn’t this person be more subtle?

“After all, you’re the King, so of course, I have to defend you,” Lu Yu tried to sound confident, but after saying this, his voice gradually softened, “And also because you’re my partner.”

“Oh, oh, oh,” the Matai people cheered enthusiastically.

For some reason, they loved to see their usually solemn witch blushing and shy.

The jungle at night was indeed very dangerous.

Many ferocious beasts had excellent vision in the darkness, allowing them to see clearly and move freely. Moreover, beasts with dark fur naturally had camouflage, making them difficult to detect.

However, it wasn’t so troublesome for the Matai people.

Because among the Matai people, not only were there those with excellent vision at night, but there was also Ming Shan, the warrior who could detect beasts by smell.

“There’s a group of Night Jaguars ahead, probably ten to fifteen of them,” Ming Shan warned loudly.

Tai Lie said, “Ming Shan, take five men to deal with them first. We’ll follow.”

“Yes.”

With the order given, Ming Shan called a few of his brothers and quickly dashed towards the direction of the Night Jaguars.

Lu Yu and the others followed behind.

By the time they arrived, Ming Shan and his group had already swiftly dealt with the jaguars.

From their name, it was clear that these jaguars mainly moved at night, and they were rarely seen during the day unless their lair was found.

It was also the first time Lu Yu had seen such a beast.

He opened the game panel to check.

[Night Jaguar, land melee]

[Threat level: D]

[Chance of dropping: E-grade Traction Shoes]

Traction shoes made of animal skin and bones, quite rare.

Twelve Night Jaguars left behind two pairs of traction shoes.

Lu Yu picked up one shoe and examined it. These shoes made of animal skin and bones were similar to the spiked shoes worn by modern athletes. They didn’t seem too difficult to make, so he could give them to the tailor and blacksmith in the Valley to study.

Apart from these jaguars, Lu Yu and his group encountered no other beasts and arrived safely near the seaside.

The bustling beach during the day was now deserted, with only the sound of the waves.

The silver moonlight spilled onto the sea, creating a beautiful scene.

The Matai people didn’t have much time to admire it. After arriving, they began to set up camp.

First, they cut down some trees, gathered branches, and built two simple shelters. Then, they made a bonfire and boiled some hot water.

There were also many more people on night watch.

Therefore, Lu Yu decided to forego today’s dream training. Although dream training was just like having a dream and could be easily awakened from, it was still better to be cautious at this time.

Lu Yu and Tai Lie sat by the sea to discuss matters.

The actions of the three major tribes today made Lu Yu very disgusted, and he even felt that such tribes might not hesitate to attack others. However, having thoughts was one thing, and making judgments about others’ guilt required evidence.

Lu Yu asked, “Did you recognize any of the warriors today?”

Tai Lie replied, “No, those people were far less sturdy than today’s.”

Lu Yu thought for a moment, “The warriors of the three major tribes all have a scar. Did those who attacked you have it?”

“No,” Tai Lie said.

Lu Yu frowned, “Could it be unrelated to the three major tribes? We’ve observed almost all the tribes in Beast Plain these days and found nothing. With so many people, they couldn’t just disappear into thin air, right?”

Tai Lie said solemnly, “I don’t know.”

Lu Yu bit his lip, “If necessary, we’ll just capture a core member of the three major tribes and interrogate them.”

Kidnapping was something Lu Yu would never have done before, but now, his mindset had changed. He didn’t know if the influence of the bloody primitive society or his attachment to the Matai people had caused him to ignore his bottom line and principles.

Tai Lie glanced at him, grabbed his arm, and pulled him into his embrace, lowering his head to kiss him.

The night passed peacefully.

Lu Yu woke up very early and walked out of the wooden hut. The sun had just peeked out from the horizon.

It was a beautiful sunny day.

Lu Yu stretched lazily, moved his arms and legs a bit, took a deep breath, and his gaze became even more determined in the rising sun.

Today, everything go smoothly.
