Crossing To The Primitive With A Game Panel

“Hehe, King, you finally said that.”

“Yeah, I was almost suffocating.”

“Let the other side see who the bravest warrior is!”

The spectators outside the arena were surprised to find that the warriors on one side had begun to… strangely twist their bodies in place.

What are they doing??

Lu Yu smiled, and the other Matai people relaxed too.

Others didn’t know, but they were well aware that what Tai Lie and the others were doing now was the special warm-up activity they did before starting training in the dream training ground.

Xia Cao chuckled, “They’re finally going to take it seriously. King probably wants to see what the other side is capable of, or maybe he wants to learn from them, so he’s suppressing his strength.”

“Hmph, if they don’t get serious soon, Shan Pu, that idiot, will bleed to death.” Xia Hua crossed her arms, her voice cold, but her gaze fell gently on someone in the arena.

The people from the Lang Yuan Tribe didn’t know why the other side suddenly went crazy.

One person approached the slender man who had been injured by Tai Lie’s arm, “Deputy Chief, what are they doing?”

The slender man squinted for two seconds, “No matter what they’re up to, take this opportunity, let’s attack!”

The Lang Yuan Tribe quickly responded, changing their formation into an inverted triangular assault formation, like a sharp cone, and swiftly charged towards the Matai people.

There was a burst of excitement at the bottom of the pit.

The Lang Yuan Tribe’s speed was very fast, at least from what Lu Yu saw, they were the fastest primitive people besides the Matai people, not only that, but their formation, coordination, and weapon usage were also very strong, almost reaching the peak of ordinary people.

Unfortunately, they encountered the Matai people.

The seemingly disorganized Matai people, when the people from the Lang Yuan Tribe rushed over, quickly dispersed, as if they had been scattered.

The leader of the Lang Yuan Tribe was delighted. It was good that they dispersed, which made it perfect for him to pick them off one by one.

He swept his gaze around and didn’t find the injured boy who had been thrown out just now, so he casually charged towards a person holding a shield, and the other members of the Lang Yuan Tribe quickly followed suit.

That person seemed to be either frightened or stunned, standing still without moving.

The leader grinned and raised his bone knife.

“Deputy Chief, we’re bei—” Before the leader’s knife could fall, cries of shock came from behind him. But before he could finish speaking, he turned into screams.

The leader’s brow furrowed, and he turned around, his pupils shrinking.

What?! How did these people manage to surround us so quickly?! Just now, they were clearly…

Before he could think any further, he saw the tribe member who had just screamed in pain clutching his left arm.

The leader’s heart sank.

Was it just his imagination, or was the tribe member who had just thrown the stone blade and injured the opponent, and his hand that got injured just now was also the same hand that threw the stone blade.

Was this person avenging his fellow tribe member?

Everything happened too quickly, and the leader didn’t have much time to think. The enemy had already begun their fierce attack.

They were like a different group of people, several times more formidable in terms of speed, strength, and techniques than before.

The Lang Yuan Tribe members, who were evenly matched and even had some advantages in the eyes of outsiders, were completely unable to resist.

The situation turned into a one-sided crushing…

The inside of the arena was ablaze with action, while the outside was as quiet as death.

Excited shouts were silenced as if someone had fed them a sedative, mouths gaping open but no sound coming out.

Oh, gods of the earth, what kind of monsters did they see?

If others were shocked and incredulous, certain people from the Beast Plains could only be described as looking ashen-faced. Already on the verge of passing out from fear, they also heard the discussions around them.

“This is too amazing!”

“So they were hiding their true strength just now.”

“Oh my god, the Lang Yuan Tribe was beaten up like rabbits meeting a tiger!”

“Who would’ve thought there was such a strong tribe!”

“Where did they come from?”

“Could it be that they received guidance from the gods?”

The whispered discussions around them felt like needles piercing into their ears. They despaired silently in their hearts.

How could this happen… How could this happen!!!

Two people surrounded Zhou Hai.

These two people were among those who stayed behind with Zhou Hai that day, not following Lin Huo and Yang Hua.

“Zhou Hai, what should we do? I didn’t expect this small tribe to be so strong. Will they retaliate against us for what we said to them that day?” one person said with a worried expression.

“Yeah, Lin Huo’s words were a bit too much. Although we didn’t agree with what Lin Huo said, we didn’t speak up for them at the time. In their eyes, we must be with Lin Huo,” the other person added.

“That Lin Huo, he’s already died, we won’t have to think about it anymore. But what should we do? Are we really going to agree to the three major tribes…”

“I won’t agree even if I die! Being subjugated by others, how is that any different from selling our tribe and becoming slaves? How can we face the elders and children of our tribe.”

“But if we don’t agree, we won’t have the protection of the three major tribes. When this small tribe comes to retaliate against us…”

One person sighed in distress, while the other clenched their lips and remained silent.

Zhou Hai had been silently watching the battle in the arena all along. After the two people stopped talking, he glanced at the bloody handprint on the ground.

Retaliation, huh…

—

The battle at the bottom of the pit didn’t last long. The Chief of the Lang Yuan Tribe shouted, “We surrender!”

Although after cutting off one of their men’s hands and they were now covered in wounds. The other side still showed mercy, if they didn’t surrender, they will really bleed to death.

The person holding the horn scurried out. Originally, he was standing between the two groups of people, but after sneakily glancing to his left, he swallowed nervously and discreetly shifted to the right.

Although the right side was so bloody that it made people want to vomit, the momentum on the left side was simply overwhelming.

After confirming with the people from the Lang Yuan Tribe one last time, he raised the horn and announced loudly, “In this tribal battle, the final victory goes to the Tai Yu Tribe from the Beast Plains!!!”

The entire pit instantly erupted like a sea that had been bombed.

Everyone shouted the same name loudly.

“Tai Yu!”

“Tai Yu!”

“Tai Yu!”

For the spectators outside the arena, witnessing such an intense battle and such powerful warriors was worth cheering for the victors.

Lu Yu and Xia Cao rushed into the arena.

Lu Yu embraced Tai Lie tightly, “You guys are amazing, Tai Lie, you’re amazing.”

—

After winning the tribal battle, they were about to enjoy the fruits of their victory.

A person led Lu Yu and the others to an empty space in the Wilderness Stone City. Here, there were piles of goods resembling small mountains.

Even if Lu Yu used two storage rings to pack, it wouldn’t be enough, not to mention he couldn’t use the rings yet. Although Tai Lie and the others were strong, dealing with so much stuff was still a problem. If they had more people, it would be fine, but unfortunately, they were still few in number…

Lu Yu awkwardly grabbed the person who brought them there and asked, “Is there a place in the city where slaves can be hired?”

“Well, there is, but the slaves here are not allowed to leave the wilderness. You can have your tribal members come and help you move the goods,” the person replied.

Most of their tribal members were already here…

Lu Yu forced a smile, “Forget it, thank you anyway.”

Ah, what should they do now?

Lu Yu was a bit worried.

Now that they had been driven out by the Beast Plains, it was unlikely that the three major tribes would allow them to hire slaves in the Beast Plains.

Should they ask for help from Mao Pu?

As Lu Yu was thinking of a solution, a voice suddenly came from behind him.

“Do you need help?”

Lu Yu turned around and saw a tall man wearing a tiger-striped animal skin skirt. The man had an ordinary appearance with a hint of righteousness on his face. Behind him were two tall and a short person, both wearing deer skin animal skin skirts.

Lu Yu felt that they looked familiar, but he couldn’t recall for a moment. “It was you earlier…”

“Yeah, I saw that you seemed to be troubled about how to move so many things, so I came over to ask,” the man in the tiger skin skirt paused for a moment, then continued, “We were the ones who went to find you with Lin Huo that day, wanting to give you the chance to withdraw from the battle. We didn’t know how powerful you were at the time, so we did that kind of thing. But please believe that we are not with Lin Huo, the guy with the sharp chin. We just… well, I guess you won’t believe us anyway. Please let us help you move the goods as an apology. Rest assured, if even a piece of wood is missing, we will compensate you double.”

The man in the tiger skin skirt said all this in a confident manner.

He looked relaxed, but Lu Yu noticed that he was clenching his fists.

Lu Yu also remembered that this person was the one who came that day. He even questioned him at the time, but was retorted by the thin, black woman.

Lu Yu hesitated for a moment, then smiled and said, “Anyway, thank you for coming to say this. We are indeed a small tribe, and no one knows our true strength, so it’s understandable that they don’t believe in us. We are really troubled about how to move the goods now, so we’ll trouble you. But we can’t let you help for free…”

The man in the tiger skin skirt relaxed his expression, straightened his posture a bit, and waved his hand, “No, no, it’s just moving things, that’s all. We’re all tribes on the same land. We should help each other.”

The two people behind him also quickly agreed.

The man in the tiger skin skirt said, “By the way, I am Zhu Hua, the Chief of the Zhu Tian Tribe. This is Jin Chang, the Chief of the Jin Fang Tribe, and this is Ling Da, the Chief of the Ling Shan Tribe. Our tribes are not very powerful, much weaker than yours, with barely a few thousand people.”

A few thousand…

Even if you count the valley people, they only have a few hundred people…

Not knowing whether they were friends or foes, Lu Yu wouldn’t casually reveal the specific situation of the Matai Tribe, so he simply introduced the names of the tribes and laughed it off. There was a hint of disappointment on Zhu Hua’s face, but he didn’t ask any more questions, gathered his people, and helped move the goods.

Of course, the Matai people weren’t idle either.

Only Lu Yu, Tai Lie, Xia Cao, and the injured Shan Pu remained, along with Xia Hua who was bandaging him.

“Lu Yu, what are you thinking?” Xia Cao couldn’t help asking as he watched Lu Yu’s contemplative gaze at the departing trio.

“Do you feel that the man just now had something on his mind?” Lu Yu smiled slightly and said.

“Are you saying that they were lying to us with their words?!” Shan Pu angrily jumped up, but was quickly suppressed by Xia Hua.

“If you move again, I’ll stick your blade into your wound and twist it a few times to see if you still jump around like a rabbit!” Xia Hua said viciously.

Shan Pu grumbled in aggrieved manner and dared not move again.

After all, they were still on someone else’s territory, so Shan Pu didn’t take the red medicine and could only bandage his wound for now.

Lu Yu shook his head, “No, I’m not saying that those people were lying, on the contrary, I feel that what they said was all true. However, there was one sentence he said that was very interesting. He said, ‘We are all tribes on the same land, we should help each other.’ Even if they really regret what happened before, when did the tribes of the Beast Plains unite to the point of helping each other?”

Xia Cao furrowed his brows slightly, “Are you suggesting…”

Lu Yu smiled meaningfully, “It seems that there are still many dissatisfied people among the three major tribes.”

With the help of Zhu Hua and his group, Lu Yu and the others quickly transported the large amount of goods they had won back to the Beast Plains.

However, they didn’t have another place to settle, so the goods could only be temporarily piled up on the beach.

The specific locations of each tribe were confidential, so even though Zhu Hua and the others wanted to help, they didn’t actively offer to transport the goods back to their tribe because they knew Lu Yu and the others would definitely refuse.

Zhu Hua solemnly said, “If you need any more help, just come find us. We’ll be staying on the Beast Plains until the Great Drift ends.”

Until the Great Drift ends?

Lu Yu smiled, “Okay.”

After they left, Lu Yu turned to look at their goods.

Zhu Hua and the others were very sincere. Not only did they help move the goods back, but they also categorized and arranged them neatly.

There was everything under the sun.

Lu Yu joyfully discovered that all the special Matails needed for village upgrades were actually available, and there were plenty of them. This meant that they could go back and upgrade the village again now.

It hadn’t been many days since the last upgrade!

Lu Yu clicked his tongue, “Tribal battles are really quite a good activity. It would be great if we had such activities every day.”

“Hehe, I agree!” Shan Pu grinned from ear to ear.

Lu Yu raised an eyebrow with malicious intent, “Yeah, Shan Pu, after one battle, you’ll have a partner. If you fight a few more times, you’ll have several, won’t you? You’ve got quite a lot of ideas, young man.”

Shan Pu looked puzzled, “Huh?”

Xia Hua viciously grabbed his ear, “How many partners do you want? Tell me?!!”

“I don’t want anyone else! I only want you!” Shan Pu replied meekly like a little wife, not daring to resist.

“Then why do you want to fight a few more times?!”

“Sob, sob, sob, I just said that casually following Lu Yu…”

Xia Cao lazily looked at the two fools, “Lu Yu, what should we do next to transport these goods back? They definitely can’t be left unattended here.”

It’s indeed easy to attract jealousy, especially since the three major tribes had their eyes on these goods from before. If they shamelessly come to snatch them, although Lu Yu and the others weren’t afraid, some of the goods might still be taken away.

Lu Yu thought for a moment, “Right, did you see Mao Pu?”

Xia Hua released Shan Pu’s ear and said, “During the battle, I seemed to have seen him. He even waved to us, but there were too many people at that time, and I didn’t see him afterward.”

Lu Yu said, “Let someone go look for him, or go into the Beast Plains to find him. It seems like he has also gathered quite a few people, so maybe he can help. If not, I’ll go call the people from the valley.”

But calling people from the valley would take at least seven days, which was too long.

Xia Cao had the Matai people look for Mao Pu, but after searching for a long time, they couldn’t find him.

At this moment, an anxious person found them.

Lu Yu recognized him as a member of the Blackwater Tribe hunting team. He had eaten lion meat before and was sent to another place, where he encountered two people who were dealing with physiological issues. One of them was this person, so Lu Yu had a vague impression of him.

“Ki-King, Tai… Tai Yu,” the person gasped, “I-I’m from the Blackwater Tribe…”

Lu Yu said, “I’ve seen you before. What’s the matter? Do you need something?”

The person swallowed and calmed his violently fluctuating chest, “C-can I ask you something? I don’t know if you’ve seen our chief?”

Chief?

Lu Yu had a bad feeling, “You mean Mao Pu? Are you looking for him?”

The newcomer nodded eagerly, “The people who went to watch the battle with him said that they didn’t know what happened, but the chief suddenly disappeared. They searched the wilderness for a long time and couldn’t find him. They came back to the Beast Plains and told us. We searched carefully here too, but still couldn’t find him. I thought he might have come to find you.”

Lu Yu’s face grew serious, “No, he hasn’t come to us. To be honest with you, we’re also looking for him, but we haven’t found him either.”

As far as he knew, Mao Pu was a very cautious person who always had people with him wherever he went. He wouldn’t disappear without a sound.

Lu Yu asked, “Did everyone who went with him come back?”

“They all came back, only the chief is missing.”

Lu Yu pondered for a moment, “Have you noticed anything strange recently?”

“Strange? No, everything’s been fine. The chief has been eating and sleeping well.” Seeing that Lu Yu didn’t have any news about Mao Pu either, the person wiped the sweat off his forehead, “Deputy Chief Lu Yu, I’ll go search elsewhere first. If you find our chief, please let us know.”

Lu Yu replied, “Sure, if you get any news, remember to inform us too.”

The person hurriedly left.

“What’s going on? How could a perfectly fine person suddenly disappear? I clearly saw him at the bottom of the pit.” Xia Hua wondered.

Shan Pu said, “There were so many people at that time, maybe he got carried away by the crowd. And because it was his first time on the wilderness, he couldn’t find his way.”

Xia Hua scoffed, “Couldn’t he just ask someone if he couldn’t find his way? With so many people, surely someone would be willing to tell him the direction.”

Lu Yu glanced at Tai Lie and pursed his lips, “Let’s send out more people to search.”

Tai Lie nodded, “Okay.”

Lu Yu felt a bit heavy-hearted for some reason. He knew Mao Pu well—cautious and not one to easily offend others. If it wasn’t because he got lost, but something else, maybe it was because of them. After all, Mao Pu often interacted with them, and others noticed it.

Besides finding Mao Pu, they still hadn’t figured out how to transport the goods back, which added to his frustration. He felt like they were overlooking something.

Due to Lu Yu and their tribe winning the tribal battle, many tribes in the Beast Plains had a different view of them. People kept coming to talk to them, but Lu Yu was too preoccupied and didn’t have the mood to deal with them. So, he pushed the blood-stained Shan Pu forward, instructing him to put on a fierce face, which stopped these people.

Until sunset, Mao Pu still hadn’t been found.

Lu Yu’s bad premonition grew stronger.

Regardless, Mao Pu had helped them a lot, so they couldn’t just ignore him.

After considering it, Lu Yu sent someone to find Zhu Hua and described Mao Pu’s appearance to them. Then he asked them to help inquire if anyone had seen Mao Pu.

Zhu Hua solemnly agreed.

Although they were in a hurry, there was no other way. After all, this was a primitive society.

At night, Lu Yu entered the dream training ground, not in a hurry to train, but instead went to find people from the Valley.

If it didn’t work out, they could only ask the people from the Valley to help transport the goods. Lu Yu also wanted to see if they had developed any new transportation tools recently, but unfortunately, they hadn’t.

“However…” the elderly man hesitated as he communicated with Lu Yu, “We have made a few boats.”

“Boats?” Lu Yu smiled bitterly, “Having boats won’t help. Firstly, I don’t know if you can operate them, and secondly, there are no rivers near our tribe leading to the Beast Plains.”

The old man replied, “Then, Deputy Chief, should I ask everyone to start packing up and set off?”

“Hold on!” Lu Yu furrowed his brow, “Let’s not rush. How about this, tomorrow at noon, when the sun is at its highest, take another nap?”

“Understood, as you command.”

Boats were indeed a good thing. Using boats on the river for transportation was basically the safest way. However, the problem was that Lu Yu didn’t know if there were any rivers nearby connected to the river near their village, after all, they didn’t have Beast land Maps now.

However, Lu Yu suddenly remembered that he actually had a golden finger, which was slightly related to maps. It was the navigation function that he hadn’t used for a long time.

But now, the navigation function could only lead to beasts. If he wanted to enhance its abilities further, he would have to continue upgrading it.

To upgrade it, he needed to increase his intimacy with Cha Zhe…

Thinking of this, Lu Yu felt a headache coming on, but there was no other way now.

With a stiff upper lip, Lu Yu went to find Tai Lie and discussed it with him.

“…Don’t worry! I’m just concerned about him. Maybe, feeding him a meal, um… at most, giving him a hug…”

Although he knew it would be very difficult, Lu Yu didn’t want to hide it from Tai Lie. In a relationship, everything should be discussed openly, hiding things would only cause trouble.

However, as he expected, Tai Lie disagreed.

“No.” Tai Lie said firmly.

Lu Yu bit his lip, approached him, and hugged his arm, using the softest voice he could muster, “I… I like you the most. Just treat him like a stone…”

After saying that, chicken skin bumps (goosebumps) couldn’t help but appear on Lu Yu’s arm.

He was actually acting coquettishly…!

How could someone who wanted to be the dominant one… Alright, just this once!

Facing someone’s cloying coaxing, Tai Lie remained silent for a full minute, but ultimately disagreed, “Have you ever considered, if you treat him like a child, how he’ll treat you.”

Lu Yu foolishly replied as a matter of course, “As an elder brother, of course.”

Tai Lie glanced at him indifferently, “Is that so.”

“Well,” Lu Yu let go of his arm, “I know, even if we both consider each other as brothers, you won’t be happy, but this is a special situation. With so many supplies, we can’t just leave them here. If we bring them back, we can develop our tribe well.”

Tai Lie said, “I’ll carry them back.”

Lu Yu rolled his eyes at him, “I know you’re strong, but with so many things, and my ring is almost full, I can’t fit too much more.”

Tai Lie said, “If one trip isn’t enough, we’ll make several trips.”

“Huh?!” Lu Yu’s eyes brightened, “That’s indeed a solution. Two trips should be enough. Although it will still take a few days, it’s much faster than having the people from the Valley come. I can start searching for the Matais to upgrade the village.”

“Alright, let’s do that for now.”

After discussing some other matters, Lu Yu left the dream training ground and entered the dreamland.

At least there was a solution for transporting goods, but until the next morning, Mao Pu still hadn’t been found.

Except for a few Matai people and those specially sent by Zhu Hua to guard the goods, everyone else went out to search for Mao Pu. After all, Zhu Hua’s group didn’t know what Mao Pu looked like, so it was easier for them to search.

Sitting by the campfire, Lu Yu was lost in thought when someone suddenly sat next to him.

“Lu Yu, what happened? Where did everyone go?” Cha Zhe’s voice sounded somewhat weak.

Lu Yu turned his head, “Why did you come out? Shouldn’t you rest a while longer?”

Cha Zhe coughed, “I’m fine now.”

Lu Yu touched his forehead and looked at his complexion, “It seems to be a bit better. I don’t know what’s wrong with you. Your health was fine before, but as soon as we got here, you fell ill. Did you eat wild fruits by the roadside?”

Cha Zhe smiled, his eyes as clear and clean as black gems, “No. Okay, let’s not talk about this anymore. I regret not watching the battle yesterday. Is there any activity today? Shall we go prepare?”

Lu Yu’s face darkened, “No, it’s because Mao Pu is missing, so everyone went to look for him.”

“Oh, I see.” Cha Zhe leaned closer to Lu Yu and said with concern, “Lu Yu, then I’ll protect you. There are dangers everywhere here, so be careful.”

Lu Yu chuckled, “With your small build, you’d better go back to the wooden hut and rest.”

But in the end, Lu Yu didn’t actually drive him away. He thought it would be good for him to get some sun.

But he didn’t expect that when Cha Zhe talked about dangers, he wasn’t referring to other people, but… Cha Zhe himself.
