Crossing To The Primitive With A Game Panel

The dream training ground was now his only way to communicate with Tai Lie and the others, but entering the dream training ground required using someone else’s dream; simply sleeping wouldn’t work. Previously, he had always relied on Tai Lie to enter, but now, whether it was Tai Lie or the other Matai people, none of them were around. The only person he could rely on was Cha Zhe.

The problem was, did Cha Zhe know about this? If he did and deliberately didn’t cooperate, what would he do if he refused to sleep at the right time?

Lu Yu nervously bit his lip, truly unsure of what to do. His rings had been taken away, so he couldn’t even gamble using lion meat.

It was really strange. Cha Zhe had been lying in the camp all this time, and there were people watching over it every day. How did he manage to find whatever he used to knock Lu Yu out? How did he find this cave and successfully transport Lu Yu here? He was an adult after all; it wouldn’t be easy to move him around so casually.

Lu Yu couldn’t help but suspect if someone was secretly helping Cha Zhe. But according to Cha Zhe, his family had died long ago, and this was his first time in Beasts Plain. Where could he have found help, and he didn’t have any belongings with him…

After thinking for a while, Lu Yu thought of one person. It was the missing Mao Pu. But he quickly dismissed this answer; Mao Pu had no connection to Cha Zhe and wouldn’t easily obey his orders to do such things.

Moreover, Mao Pu might have been…

Tai Lie and the others didn’t know he was missing yet, and they didn’t know how to deal with it. They had just won the tribal battle and were currently under scrutiny from all sides, including the three major tribes trying to expel them. If Tai Lie and the others encountered any problems, they might become targets, especially if they lost control of themselves. That would be really troublesome.

With all these thoughts swirling in his mind, Lu Yu inevitably felt a bit restless.

He took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down.

The most important thing now was to inform Tai Lie and the others about his situation. He had to wait for Cha Zhe to sleep, but even if he successfully entered the dream training ground, Cha Zhe might also know that he would inform Tai Lie and the others.

Also, he needed to get back his rings. There was lion meat and red medicine inside the rings, along with some other things. Retrieving them would give him more options.

After considering for a while, Lu Yu closed his eyes to rest. He didn’t know what Cha Zhe had given him to eat, but even just thinking for a while made him feel exhausted.

“What did you say?!!” Xia Hua yelled at the Matai person guarding the camp.

“Xia Hua, lower your voice.” Xia Cao frowned and called out to her, while also holding her hand.

Xia Hua, anxious as she was, wanted to say more, but feeling the sweat in her sister’s palm, she closed her mouth, bit her lip, and quietly pressed the Matai person in front of her, “Ah Feng, explain clearly, what’s going on? Where did Witch go?” The Matai person called Ah Feng was also very anxious. The King entrusted him with such an important task of guarding the camp, but he actually lost Witch, who was going to be the King’s future partner.

“I and Ah Rong have been diligently watching the camp, and we really haven’t left for a moment. In the end, it seemed like we saw Witch taking a bowl of medicine to Cha Zhe in the wooden shed, and then he went to the restroom, but we never saw Witch come out again, and Cha Zhe was gone too…”

“How could you be so stupid! You should’ve followed Witch!” Xia Hua’s head was spinning with anger.

Ah Feng didn’t feel wronged; he thought Xia Hua was right. He should’ve followed Witch, or at least kept an eye on him.

The big guy forcefully hammered his own head twice, “It’s all my fault, it’s all my fault.”

“Don’t hit yourself.” Xia Cao grabbed his hand to stop him from hurting himself further. The strength of the Matai people was no joke; even the hardest head couldn’t withstand such blows. “The important thing now is to bring the King back. The King went to escort Le Shui, and call Ah Rong and the others in. Don’t search outside anymore. Witch wouldn’t leave without saying anything; he must have been taken away by someone. It’s useless to search outside.”

Ah Feng gritted his teeth, “Then I’ll go find the King and tell him what happened. I’ll take responsibility for my mistake.”

Xia Cao nodded, “Okay, Ah Feng. Although you made a mistake, it’s not all your fault. Don’t blame yourself too much. Save your strength to find Witch. And let’s wait until you bring the King back before discussing the matter. There are so many people outside, it’s not good to spread this news.”

“Yes!”

Ah Feng quickly ran out.

“What an idiot!” Xia Hua watched his figure stomping in anger, then suddenly turned around and said angrily, “Sister, how can you say it’s not all his fault… Sister!”

Xia Hua saw Xia Cao’s pale face, covered in sweat, and was shocked. She hurried over to support her, “Sister, are you okay?”

Xia Cao waved her hand, “I’m fine, just feeling a bit anxious. Xia Hua, when the King comes back, you need to speak up for Ah Feng.”

Xia Hua pouted, “Why should I speak up for him! He made such a big mistake, he should be severely punished!”

Xia Cao’s expression turned cold, “How severely punished? Let Ah Feng die?”

“Huh?” Xia Hua was stunned for a moment, stuttering, “Wh-what, die? I didn’t mean that.”

Xia Cao said, “Do you remember what happened last time when Witch disappeared, and what happened to the King? Now that Witch is missing in this complicated place, what do you think will happen to the King again? No matter what, the most important thing now is to find Witch, so we can’t let the King lose control.”

“Lose control… Sister, you’re being too serious. How could the King lose control…”

Xia Cao didn’t answer her, but in her mind, she remembered the spider-web-like blood vessels behind the King when the Witch was taken away by that lion last time.

Xia Hua didn’t know, but she had inadvertently heard her father say that in a very few Matai people, there could be such a situation. These Matai people would be stronger and more brave than others, but once their emotions reached an unbearable point, terrible consequences would occur.

She couldn’t be sure if the King was one of those Matai people, but seeing what happened last time, there was a high chance. And Witch’s position in the King’s heart was self-evident.

Xia Hua sighed heavily with a heavy expression.

—

Soon, the King was called back by Ah Feng.

“What’s the matter?”

Tai Lie sat down on a piece of grass and picked up the water from the nearby giant stone, taking a sip.

Xia Hua was a bit hesitant to speak, and A Feng was about to kneel down to confess his mistake, but Xia Cao stopped him and stepped forward, solemnly saying, “King, Witch is missing.”

The Matai people who came back with Tai Lie hadn’t reacted yet when they heard a loud noise.

Bang!

The giant stone where the water was placed shattered loudly.

The ground was covered with powder and some small stones, raising a cloud of dust.

The crowd fell silent, looking up at their King.

“Explain.”

Tai Lie’s expression appeared somewhat blurred amidst the swirling dust, but his voice was like a clear, cold sword, piercing through.

Xia Cao felt extremely anxious, but what needed to be said must be said. She quickly recounted everything she knew, “I’ve already checked the small shed. It seems like someone had lifted the branches at the back. Because the shed smelled bad, it’s in a relatively secluded area, directly facing the woods. If Witch was really captured, he should have been taken from that area of the woods.”

Tai Lie remained silent.

Xia Cao continued, “And Cha Zhe is also missing. Someone saw him entering the shed, but they didn’t notice if Witch came out at that time. So, it’s possible that whoever kidnapped Witch was still in the shed at that time, and then encountered Cha Zhe who entered when he saw no one was in there, and they took him too.”

Ah Bu, who hadn’t gone to escort Le Shui, suddenly interjected, “That doesn’t make sense. The shed is so small, it can’t fit many people. But if there were only one or two people, how did they subdue Witch and Cha Zhe, and keep them silent?”

Xia Cao paused for a moment, nodding, “You’re right.”

Xia Hua hastily interjected, “Could they have used some powerful weapons? I remember people from the tribe that fought with us last time had strange weapons. Maybe they used them for revenge—” Her words were cut off.

“That’s enough.”

Tai Lie stood up, his eyes filled with bloodshot veins, his powerful aura filling the entire shed, making all the Matai people present dare not breathe.

“Ah Feng, go call back Le Shui and the others. Xia Cao, go find Zhu Hua and ask them for help. Ah Rong, you stay with two others to guard the camp. Xia Hua, stay here and sleep. The rest of you, follow me.”

“Yes!” The Matai people responded in unison.

After Xia Hua loudly agreed, she became confused again. Let her sleep? She was about to report to the King that she didn’t need to sleep and would go find Witch, but her sister stopped her.

“Think about what you were doing when you were sleeping before?” Xia Cao reminded her. She had just remembered that they had this way to contact Witch. Witch must be smart enough to think of it too.

“What was I doing when I was sleeping…” Xia Hua’s eyes lit up, and she exclaimed, “I’ll go to sleep now!”

Watching her hurriedly run to the side, Xia Hua felt a little relieved, deliberately ignoring another even more terrifying speculation: what if Witch had already…

Xia Hua looked at the King’s departing figure with heavy steps.

The King was calmer than she had imagined, no, he was too calm, which made her even more uneasy.

She carefully examined the King’s back. They were all wearing relatively thick clothes now, so she couldn’t see if there were bloodstains on the King’s back, but she keenly noticed a red-to-purple bloodstain, a palm print extending from the inside of the King’s forearm…

Xia Hua clenched her fists, no longer thinking about it, and followed the others out to find Zhu Hua.

Lu Yu opened his eyes. The already dim cave seemed even darker now, with the sky outside completely dark.

“Have some soup.” Cha Zhe handed over a stone bowl.

Lu Yu’s throat was somewhat hoarse, “I’m not eating your stuff. If you don’t want me to starve, give me back my ring.”

Cha Zhe remained unmoved, “I’m keeping your things safe for you. I’ll give them back after the Great Drift is over. For now, eat something quickly. Look at how hoarse your throat is.”

Lu Yu said coldly, “I said I won’t—” Before he could finish his sentence, he saw Cha Zhe drink the soup forcefully, then press down towards him…
