Crossing To The Primitive With A Game Panel

Lu Yu and his companions had a seafood breakfast by the sea, filling their stomachs.

One after another, people began to arrive at the beach.

Even if Lu Yu and the others did not give up the right to fight in the final battle, in the eyes of others, they were still a tribe of the Beast Plain, representing the Beast Plain. Therefore, almost all the tribes of the Beast Plain were preparing to watch their match. The most prominent among them were the people of the three major tribes.

Hundreds of strong and identical warriors stood in neat rows. Behind them, several people held strange vessels, rhythmically striking them with bone hammers, emitting eerie sounds. Finally, four individuals, even stronger than the front-line warriors, stepped forward.

They carried a frame made of sticks and boards, with a person seated on top.

Although it was the hottest weather, this person was wrapped in snow-white fur, with silver long hair meticulously tied up with white leaves.

Because they were relatively far away, Lu Yu couldn’t see the person’s face clearly. However, as soon as this person appeared, Lu Yu heard the surrounding people exclaiming.

“The Witch of the Three Major Tribes!”

“The Witch has actually appeared!”

“Oh my god! I’ve seen the Witch!”

Different from the lively reactions of the surrounding people, the Matais remained calm to the point of indifference.

Shan Pu muttered quietly, “So this is the Witch of the three major tribes, feels like they’re… far inferior to us.”

Immediately, a Matai agreed, “Yeah, walking still needs others to carry them. Their health doesn’t seem good at all.”

Shan Pu glanced at the wooden frame carried by the four people, pondering, “But, I feel that thing is not bad. How about we… make one too? In the future, when we go out, we can also be carried like this… it feels more imposing.”

“Hmm, you have a point. They have four people carrying it, we’ll have eight people. We must surpass them! We can’t let… our Witch be mistreated!”

“Yes, yes!”

Lu Yu couldn’t help but smile wryly, “I still prefer walking with my legs.”

He really didn’t like being so ostentatious, but for the first time, Shan Pu didn’t listen to him. After responding vaguely to Lu Yu’s remarks, Shan Pu turned around and continued to gather with others to “discuss the plan”.

They couldn’t let anyone mistreat their Witch; whatever other Witches had, their Witch must also have it!

While Shan Pu and the others were discussing how to make their Witch “look dignified,” Lu Yu overheard something else from the discussions of the surrounding people.

“Do you know? Lin Huo is dead!”

“Dead? How did he die?”

“Didn’t he lead people to drive away that small tribe yesterday? I heard things went wrong when he returned, and his death was horrible! Just thinking about it makes me feel numb all over!”

“Hurry up and tell us, don’t keep us in suspense!”

“I heard that his skin was like the wild beasts we catch, rotting and stinking after several days, and then it started falling off his body piece by piece. When people from their tribe went to see, they were shocked. Some say he had done too many bad things and was punished by the gods. Otherwise, how could he die like that? It’s the first time I’ve heard of such a thing…”

“Oh my, that’s terrifying!”

“Indeed, his tribe was so scared that they didn’t even bury him properly. They just wrapped him in leaves and threw him into the mountain ditch. I doubt even wild beasts would eat him.”

—

Could this Lin Huo be the person he splashed with the decay potion yesterday?

Lu Yu furrowed his brow. He was angry at the time, but he just wanted to teach that person a lesson, so he diluted the potion with a large basin of water. But he didn’t expect the potion to be so potent.

But he didn’t regret it.

He can say bad thing about him, but he would not let him say bad thing to Tai Lie!

Suddenly, the people around exclaimed.

Lu Yu raised his head and found that the Witch, who was being carried by four people, had approached them a bit, but instead of walking straight towards them, he headed towards the seashore twenty meters away from them.

But even from this distance, Lu Yu could see the person’s face clearly now.

It turned out to be an ordinary old man with wrinkles all over his face.

When Lu Yu saw the silver hair from afar, he thought he would look like a peerless beauty described in legends, but he didn’t expect him to be an old man who seemed to be on the brink of death.

It seemed right too. According to the news, this Witch had been in the three major tribes before the establishment of the Beast Stone City, and the stone city had already existed for forty to fifty years.

So this Witch must be at least sixty or seventy years old.

But Lu Yu always felt something strange that he couldn’t quite put his finger on.

The onlookers all wanted to go forward and take a look at the Witch, but they were blocked by the warriors around him.

Whether it was Lu Yu’s illusion or not, he felt like the Witch took a glance at him.

It wasn’t an accidental sweep of the eyes but a precise glance through the crowd, as if recognizing him.

Lu Yu looked over, only to find that the person wasn’t looking at him at all.

“Lu Yu, let’s go!” Xia Cao’s call interrupted Lu Yu’s thoughts.

Lu Yu didn’t think anymore and nodded, “Alright, let’s go.”

As usual, a few Matais were left to guard their belongings, while the others boarded the raft and headed towards the wilderness land.

—

Today’s final battle wasn’t held on the beach of the wilderness but at the tribal gathering place in the Wilderness Plain.

They also had a tribal gathering place like the Beast Stone City, also made of stone, but instead of white stone, they used black stone. It was still very large, made of unpolished black stone.

From afar, it looked like a black desolate hill.

The crowd entered the stone city but was led out from another gate.

It turned out that the final duel wasn’t inside the stone city but nearby.

Near the stone city, there was a huge natural pit, with a winding path leading to the bottom of the pit. On the cliffs near the pit, there were some caves, forming natural stands.

When the sun reached the center of the sky, a person walked into the pit, holding the large horn used in the first round of the match, and shouted loudly.

“Please bring out the warriors from two tribes!”

In this segment, Lu Yu definitely wouldn’t participate, and Ming Shan was also replaced. Although his sense of smell was useful in the jungle, in terms of combat effectiveness, he wasn’t one of the strongest.

Lu Yu squeezed Tai Lie’s hand, “Good luck!”

Tai Lie looked at him deeply, “Alright.”

Tai Lie led nine tribe members into the pit.

The tribe they were going to duel with also sent out ten people.

Lu Yu and the others had already inquired about the news, and Mao Pu specifically brought them information.

Their opponents were called the Lang Yuan Tribe, the strongest tribe in the Wilderness Plain, a super-large tribe with tens of thousands of people.

It was said that the system and management of this tribe were extremely strict. Each warrior was selected and trained from childhood, undergoing cultivation and fighting. Out of a hundred children, only five or six might make it into the hunting team.

Although they didn’t know the exact methods of their cultivation, it was said to be extremely cruel. Even if there were only five or six children left out of a hundred, all families in the tribe would still send their children for selection because only families with warrior members could have better living conditions.

When Lu Yu first heard about this, he was incredulous. One or two families were fine, but he couldn’t believe that so many families would subject their children to such torture for a bit of food and fur.

Mao Pu explained, “It is said that the resources in the Wilderness Plain are not abundant, and the people in the Wilderness Plain seem to be particularly fertile. Every family can have a dozen or so children, and there may be one or two favorites, but the others… The Lang Yuan Tribe is the same. Don’t be fooled by its size. In fact, they seem to have fewer resources than our medium-sized tribe over here, so they attach great importance to this tribal battle.”

Indeed, although many people on the Beast Plain couldn’t eat their fill, the resources there were actually very abundant, and the climate was not bad. In such an environment where the law of the jungle was taken to the extreme, what kind of warriors would be cultivated…

Lu Yu looked solemnly at the other side of the pit.

Ten men of various sizes stood lazily. They were tall and short, fat and thin, but they all exuded an almost tangible bloody aura, as if they had just crawled out of a mass grave, which was very frightening.

The people around the Beast Plain gasped in cold air.

“The Wilderness Plain is too terrifying!!”

“Yeah, I don’t know what they’ve been through. Last time during the Great Drift, it didn’t seem so…”

“Sigh, that small tribe is doomed.”

“They brought it on themselves. Did you hear that yesterday Lin Huo, Zhou Hai, and the others went to ask that small tribe to give up the battle rights to the three major tribes? Unexpectedly, that small tribe, for the sake of resources, refused to agree.”

“They must be regretting it now!”

“I think only the three major tribes can compete. Look at these people, each one has killed who knows how many.”

—

Lu Yu didn’t pay attention to what those people said, but the opponents were indeed strong, even stronger than they thought.

He opened the gaming panel and was surprised to find that the ten warriors from the Lang Yuan Tribe were all “Ordinary Race (Modified)”. He thought they must be evolved races. But why was there a “Modified” behind the “Ordinary Race”? Lu Yu was puzzled. What was this? The combination of ordinary and modified races? Then why wasn’t it just a modified race directly? What was the connection between them?

Before Lu Yu could figure it out, the battle officially began on the stage.

The person holding the horn left the bottom of the pit, leaving only the two opposing sides facing each other.

Lu Yu couldn’t help but hold his breath and concentrate.

Regardless of how strong the opponents were, Lu Yu firmly believed that Tai Lie and his group would definitely win. But what worried him was that Tai Lie and his group might get injured. In order to avoid exposing himself, they didn’t plan to use the red medicine.

Both sides confronted each other from a distance, and no one spoke outside the arena.

At this moment, whether it was at the bottom of the pit, on the stone walls, or outside the pit, people were standing everywhere.

The previously boiling and roaring atmosphere had stopped.

The air was almost stagnant.

Suddenly, Tai Lie and the leader of the opposing side almost simultaneously shouted, “Fight!!”

The Matai people outside the arena occupied a good position at the bottom of the pit, allowing them to watch the battle up close.

Because there was a rule that each person on both sides was only allowed to bring one weapon and not allowed to wear armor, the battle became bloody almost the moment it started.

Tai Lie was holding the axe given to him by Lu Yu. Lu Yu had wrapped several strips of processed fur around the handle so that it wouldn’t slip out of his grip.

After receiving this axe, Tai Lie never missed a swing. Countless wild beasts had died under his axe, but today, Tai Lie missed…

The person facing Tai Lie was unremarkable, thin, and small in stature. But when Tai Lie swung his axe at him, he unexpectedly twisted away from the killing blow in a bizarre manner.

Before the surrounding people could even gasp, after Tai Lie’s axe missed, he didn’t hesitate for a moment, turned around, and slashed horizontally.

This time, the iron axe didn’t miss. The man’s arm was cut deeply enough to expose the bone.

The onlookers from the Beast Plain were somewhat surprised to see this scene.

“Wow!! I didn’t expect this small tribe to be quite strong!”

“Humph, what’s so strong about it? Can’t you see? The person from the Wilderness Plain is the weakest of the ten, while the person from the small tribe is their strongest! The strongest defeating the weakest, what’s there to be surprised about!”

“Well, now that you put it that way, it seems right. Looks like this small tribe is doomed…”

Lu Yu was almost amused by their banter. Even as someone with weak combat abilities, he could see that the person Tai Lie was fighting against was definitely not the weakest opponent. On the contrary, he might be the most troublesome one…

The first collision occurred between Tai Lie, who was at the forefront, and the slender man. After the slender man was injured, the people from the Lang Yuan Tribe paused collectively, and then, abandoning their loose advance, they formed a tight and unique formation. Changing direction, they pounced towards the person furthest away from Tai Lie.

They want to divide and conquer? Just after witnessing a few seconds of Tai Lie’s battle, they quickly changed their attacking strategy. These people seem to be haphazardly assembled, but they’re actually a well-coordinated team!

Lu Yu didn’t pay attention to the surrounding noise anymore. He clenched his fists and stared intently at the battlefield.

Tai Lie’s formation was a more conventional one.

The three strongest were at the front, followed by three skilled attackers, and three agile ones on the sides. The six in the middle were relatively close together, and the position of the assassin was slightly off to the side.

The Lang Yuan Tribe people targeted the one furthest to the left.

Lu Yu’s heart skipped a beat.

Xia Cao couldn’t help but shout, “Shan Pu, be careful!”

Shan Pu was the fastest runner among the Matai people besides Tai Lie. In the past, no matter what danger he faced, he could confidently avoid it. But this time, facing a sudden encirclement by ten people, Shan Pu was cornered. Even if other Matai people realized Shan Pu was in danger and immediately turned to help him, it was too late.

The thin man from the Lang Yuan Tribe, who was at the forefront, launched the first attack, wielding a long bone knife and slashing towards Shan Pu. With enemies on both sides, Shan Pu could only retreat. But it seemed someone on the other side had anticipated this, as they threw a sharp short bone knife in his direction just as he moved back.

Shan Pu leaned to the side to the limit, and the bone knife cut from his left chest to his arm, instantly opening a deep wound, causing blood to gush out.

Because the rule allowed only one weapon, everyone only wore a lower garment and fought shirtless.

Shan Pu was injured!

All the Matai people, including Lu Yu, fell silent for a moment.

Since the battle with the wolves, the Matai people hadn’t suffered such a severe injury. Even if someone had been injured, everyone could promptly use the red medicine to heal themselves. But now, with his entire upper body bathed in blood…

From Shan Pu being surrounded to his retreat and getting injured, everything happened in just a few seconds.

The other Matai people quickly came to Shan Pu’s aid.

The Lang Yuan Tribe also didn’t press their advantage. After making a successful strike, they quickly withdrew, without recklessly pursuing further.

Tai Lie looked at the wound on Shan Pu’s chest, his brow furrowed. “Shan Pu, are you…”

“I’m fine, King! I can still fight! It’s just a minor injury, haha!” Afraid that the King would stop him from continuing the fight, Shan Pu casually wiped the blood from his chest, raised his small dagger, and bounced around a bit, indicating that he was fine.

He had only been in the fight for a few seconds and already got injured. It was embarrassing enough. If the King specially took care of him and didn’t allow him to continue fighting, how could he save face? Xia Hua was still watching below. He was a brave Matai person!

Seeing him like this, Tai Lie didn’t say anything more and just nodded slightly. “One last time.”

“Yes!” Shan Pu replied loudly. The King meant that this was his last chance. If he got injured again, he would really be thrown to the back. Heh heh, then he have to be more serious!

Shan Pu didn’t feel uncomfortable with the injury at all. His face was even more excited than before.

The onlookers were shocked.

“What’s wrong with this person? He’s bleeding so much from his chest, yet he acts like nothing happened?”

“Yeah, his flesh is torn, and he can still move around and fight?! Is he a beast?”

“And how did he dodge that just now? I clearly saw that knife was about to pierce him, yet he only got wounded in the chest and arm?”

“I didn’t even see his movements clearly!!”

“Me neither! It was just a blur in front of my eyes. It was really too fast! Faster than the flying knives!”

“What kind of person is he? Wasn’t he said to be from the Beast Plain? Could there be such a strong person in the Beast Plain?”

“I don’t know. I thought it would be a slaughter, but now it seems both sides have a chance!”

“Yeah, yeah…”

—

These were the voices from other lands, but the people of the Beast Plain were even more shocked.

They thought the people of that small tribe were going to their deaths, but who would have thought that both sides could still exchange blows?

Someone swallowed hard and forced themselves to speak confidently, “I reckon that person is the second strongest in their tribe! And look, his injuries are much less severe than the other side’s. It won’t be long before he’s killed one by one by the people of the Wilderness!”

Although some still agreed, their voices were much quieter this time. After all, not everyone was a fool. Even though the exchange just now was short, the simplest calculation showed that with ten people ganging up on one, they only injured his chest and arm, while in the one-on-one at the beginning, they injured the other’s arm. No matter how you look at it, that small tribe seemed more formidable.

Not to mention that the person from this small tribe was injured but still seemed unfazed…

After the fighting sides separated, there was a brief moment of silence in the pit, but soon, the noise erupted to a hundred times what it was at the beginning.

What’s the fun in a one-sided slaughter? They wanted to see this kind of intense collision! The more intense, bloody, the better!

Xia Hua clenched her hands, paused for two seconds, then raised her hand to her mouth and shouted to the arena, “Shan Pu! If you’re a man, keep fighting for me!!”

Shan Pu grinned, “Alright!!”

Xia Hua continued, “If you can defeat three people, I’ll marry you!!”

Shan Pu was about to respond when he suddenly stopped abruptly, staring blankly, “What did you… say?!”

“Oh~~” People around began to cheer.

Xia Hua’s beautiful face blushed slightly, revealing a hint of shyness. She stamped her foot, “I… I said if you win, I’ll marry you!! Got it, you fool?!”

Shan Pu di’t say anything and turned his head back.

Xia Hua was wondering why he dared to ignore her at this moment when she saw the person in the arena. His usual playful demeanor was gone, his lips tightly pressed together, serious as if he had become a different person, and his whole body seemed to be ignited with a towering flame.

“Not a single one is allowed to run away!” Shan Pu roared.

The leader of the Lang Yuan Tribe, the one whose arm was injured by Tai Lie, gave a sinister laugh, “Don’t worry, I’ll leave that little girl a complete corpse.”

The battle resumed once again!

This time, the people of the Lang Yuan Tribe continued their previous tactic of collective encirclement and single-point breakthrough. However, Tai Lie’s group wasn’t foolish. After discerning the opponent’s intention, they quickly adjusted their formation, tightening their ranks.

Although Xia Hua’s words had ignited Shan Pu’s unprecedented fighting spirit, he remained surprisingly calm at this moment. His brain was clearer than ever before. He knew it wasn’t the time for impulsiveness. Even if he wanted to kill the enemy, he had to wait for the right moment, avoiding rash actions.

So, he didn’t stray too far from the main group, sticking closely to them, keeping an eye out for opportunities across from them.

Both sides engaged in a “Qin King Circling the Pillar” maneuver. Tai Lie frowned and stopped engaging the opponent, directly ordering a charge. (“Qin King Circling the Pillar” refers to a martial arts maneuver where one person moves in a circular pattern around their opponent, akin to circling a pillar. It’s a defensive tactic used to evade attacks and create openings for counterattacks.)

Now, let’s talk about the weapons both sides were using.

On the Matai side, Tai Lie wielded an iron axe. The three assassins on the flanks, including Shan Pu, used short blades. Shan Pu’s blade was made of stone, while the other two used bone blades. The three acting as shields wielded spiked shields, and the three providing support wielded bone knives about a meter long. All weapons were obtained from treasure chests.

The Lang Yuan Tribe had a much wider variety of weapons, including whips. However, three of them also used bone knives similar in length to those on the Matai side, and they also stood behind several people.

Tai Lie’s group quickly charged toward the Lang Yuan Tribe. Before they could run further, the Lang Yuan Tribe suddenly dispersed to the sides, and three sharp bone knives thrust out.

The three Matai warriors, with their shields, could protect their chests, but other areas were left vulnerable. The bone knives were extremely sharp, each aimed at a single person, and the shields couldn’t fully block them. Caught off guard and unable to stop, it seemed like one of the Matai warriors was about to rush straight into the bone knives, but just in time, Tai Lie’s iron axe lifted from below, deflecting the three bone knives.

One strike failed, but another followed.

The Lang Yuan Tribe continued to use bone knives to attack the Matai warrior in the middle.

But at this moment, the Matai also prepared for defense. The three warriors in front raised their spiked shields together, blocking all the bone knives and pressing forward.

Seeing this tactic fail, the Lang Yuan Tribe continued to harass with long weapons while retreating.

Tai Lie didn’t call for another attack.

Once again, both sides distanced themselves.

Le Shui, one of the warriors, puzzled, “Weren’t they using bone knives similar in length to ours? Why…”

How did the bone knives appear at that distance? He didn’t see anyone move forward.

Other Matai people also had this doubt, but they quickly understood. The person from the Lang Yuan Tribe facing them shook their wrist, and the long handle of the bone knife unexpectedly retracted, returning to its normal length! There was another uproar around.

“What kind of weapons does this tribe from the Wilderness Plain use? It’s too magical! They can freely extend and retract!”

“Yeah, but don’t you think their opponents are formidable? Despite such sudden moves and weapons, they can still handle it without getting injured!”

“That’s right! If it were me, I’d probably have been killed already. They’re really amazing!”

The more people around praised the Matai, the more uncomfortable those who wanted to see them fail felt.

Someone disdainfully snorted, “What’s so impressive about that? After fighting for so long, they’ve just been on the defensive. Even if they blocked it once, so what? Who knows what tricks the people from the Wilderness Plain have up their sleeves next? I bet this little tribe is going to suffer soon!”

Seeing this person continuously blabbering, someone from another land finally questioned, “Which land are you from?”

This person raised their head proudly. “I’m from the Beast Plains!”

This year, the Beast Plains had entered the final battle of the arena, and the people from there were no longer as timid as before, daring to speak loudly.

“Strange, you’re from the Beast Plains, yet you’re specifically saying discouraging words to your fellow land dwellers. If they loses, what benefit will you gain?”

The questioner followed up without waiting for a response. “Seems like you’re boldly speaking out here because you’re taking advantage of the people fighting down below!”

His words were sharp, making the other person’s face instantly turn pale, then suddenly flush red, as if hearing the surrounding people mocking him. After holding back for a while, he suddenly shouted, “What does it have to do with that little tribe?! It’s because we have the Three Great Tribes!”

The questioner laughed, “I don’t know how powerful your Three Great Tribes of the Beast Plains are, but say whatever you want. If it makes you happy.”

With that, he ignored the person and turned his head back, enthusiastically watching the ongoing battle in the arena.

Not even knowing the basics of unity with the outside world, it’s no wonder the Beast Plains were constantly bullied by people from other lands. If such a strong tribe were in their land, even if there were differences at ordinary times, at this moment, they would still cheer for them.

On the battlefield, Tai Lie turned his head and asked, “Shan Pu, are you still okay?”

Shan Pu replied, “No problem.”

Tai Lie nodded, slightly curling his lips. A hint of blood surged in his black eyes. “Then let’s end this battle quickly. We’ve played enough.”
