Crossing To The Primitive With A Game Panel

The wind rustled through the trees.

Lying there awaiting death, Mao Pu suddenly opened his eyes again after half a day.

He sat up bewilderedly, brushed aside the grass covering his chest, and found that the wound had miraculously healed!

The newly grown flesh was pink and tender, completely different from the surrounding dark skin.

Mao Pu, unable to believe it, cautiously reached out a finger to touch and press on it.

It tickled.

It’s really healed! He wasn’t dreaming!

Mao Pu widened his eyes, overwhelmed with joy.

Lu Yu’s pill actually had such a miraculous effect! Who exactly is he…

Although there were still many doubts in his mind, Mao Pu temporarily suppressed them. At the moment, the most important thing was to escape quickly. If the people from the three major tribes found out he wasn’t dead, they definitely wouldn’t let him off.

Right, there was also Lu Yu’s matter. How did those people say he was captured by his own people?

Now that he was alive again, Mao Pu started to think about other things. He was probably captured this time because of Lu Yu, but he didn’t harbor any resentment towards him. He was clear-headed about this. After all, Lu Yu didn’t know this would happen. If he were to blame anyone, it should be the people from the three major tribes who captured him.

He was quite grateful to Lu Yu. If it weren’t for the miraculous pill he provided, he would have died already. So now, hearing that Lu Yu had been captured, he was still somewhat worried.

Mao Pu got up, brushed off the dirt on his body, and found that the other wounds on his body had also mostly healed. Not only that, despite not eating for several days and being extremely hungry, he now had a bit of strength.

Mao Pu looked around, then glanced at the sun’s position, thought about the direction the two people had taken him when they carried him out, and chose a path to walk back to his wooden hut.

Mao Pu still lived in the wooden hut in the Beast City. To avoid being recognized by the people from the three major tribes, he picked some colored grass and smeared it on his face. He also grabbed some large leaves, loosely weaving them together to cover himself. After finishing these disguises, he cautiously entered the Beast City.

Fortunately, there weren’t many people from the three major tribes on the outer layer of the Beast City, and his capture was probably a secret operation known to very few. So Mao Pu arrived safely at his wooden hut.

At this moment, as the sky grew dark, the people from the Blackwater Tribe who had gone out to find their Chief were sitting together with worried expressions.

“If we still can’t find the Chief, what should we do?” someone asked.

Facing this question, everyone looked at each other, but no one answered.

In fact, although the position of the Chief comes with many privileges, such as enjoying the best treatment, it also carries corresponding responsibilities, such as providing for the tribe and arranging everyone’s daily activities.

Although Mao Pu was weak in terms of martial prowess, he did well in this regard. As for the other members of the Blackwater Tribe, they were only good at hunting and barely managed to sustain themselves. If they were made leaders, the Blackwater Tribe would probably destroyed quickly.

By then, they would truly become savages, or be captured by another tribe to be slaves…

“Ah… where are you, Chief…” the Blackwater people were on the verge of tears.

Mao Pu quietly sneaked into his own yard and happened to hear this sentence. Instantly, he felt a bit smug. It seemed that he was quite beloved as the Chief.

Originally, he was worried that the tribe might have a new Chief or had destroyed already, but it turned out the situation was not bad.

With that in mind, his next plan should be fine.

Mao Pu straightened his back, clenched his fists, and cleared his throat twice, “Ahem, ahem.”

The Blackwater people were startled, “Who’s there?”

“Keep your voice down!” Mao Pu glanced around and lowered his voice, “It’s me! Your Chief!”

In the red glow of the fire, Mao Pu wiped off the disguise on his face.

The Blackwater people saw his face clearly and their eyes lit up, “Chief, you’re back!”

“I said keep your voice down!” Mao Pu fiercely slapped the head of the guy who jumped up next to him, “Alright, now is not the time for reunion. I have a few important things to say, so listen quietly.”

Shocked by their Chief’s unusual seriousness, despite having many doubts, the Blackwater people obediently nodded and stopped talking.

Mao Pu motioned for them to gather around, “Firstly, quietly pack up the supplies, leave behind the useless stone tools, and then divide into groups to leave the city. Not far from the city, on the way back to the tribe, there’s a cave you remember, right? Meet up there. As for why, I’ll explain later. Is that clear?”

“Clear, Chief. Shall we start now?”

“No, there’s one more thing.” Mao Pu frowned, “I’ve decided that we’ll become a subordinate tribe of the Tai Yu Tribe.”

“What?!” The people who were calm just a moment ago were now shocked.

Mao Pu remained calm. He had already thought it over. Regardless of the circumstances, he was determined to seek revenge on the Three Major Tribes. However, with the strength of the Blackwater Tribe, not only seeking revenge would be difficult, but even self-preservation would become an issue. However, the Tai Yu Tribe was different.

Mao Pu was aware of their strength. Although they were fewer in number, their combat capabilities were increasing. Moreover, given the attitude of the Three Major Tribes towards them and revealing the reasons for his capture by them, considering their high regard for Lu Yu, they would undoubtedly be the most loyal allies.

However, Mao Pu didn’t intend to explain these things to the others for the time being. He asserted firmly, “This is the decision of the Chief. Anyone who disagrees can leave the Blackwater Tribe now.”

There was a moment of silence, but in the end, no one left.

Mao Pu was very satisfied. “Alright, we can take action now, but quickly. Fang Tu, a few of you come with me to the Tai Yu Tribe’s hut.”

Inside the hut of the Matai Tribe, except for the few Matai people who remained to guard the supplies and those who were sleeping, everyone else was still outside looking for people.

Mao Pu, disguised, arrived with his people. Seeing the empty campsite, the guard from the Matai Tribe was not surprised. “Why are you here?”

The guard recognized the people from the Blackwater Tribe beside Mao Pu. They had come seeking help before. But it was late; what could they want now?

Fang Tu, beside Mao Pu, gestured for them to enter the hut before speaking.

Once inside, Mao Pu wiped off the colorful paint on his face. “I know where your deputy Chief went. Quickly, call back the people from your tribe.”

—

At this moment, the sky had not yet completely darkened.

A thick smoke, not quite black but close to it, rose straight into the sky from the open space.

This was the signal agreed upon by the Matai people to summon everyone back to the campsite. If someone saw it, they were to light their own fire in place to allow those farther away to see, much like a beacon.

Accompanied by rising smoke, the Matai people who were anxiously searching outside gradually returned to the campsite.

The ones who had gone out, like Xia Hua and Xia Cao, didn’t take long to return.

When they saw Mao Pu, they were first surprised, then, upon hearing his words, they were overjoyed.

“Do you really know where Lu Yu went? Tell me quickly!” Xia Hua, impatient, grabbed Mao Pu’s shoulder and shook him wildly.

“I-I’ll, wait…” Mao Pu, small and pitiful, was almost shaken off his feet, unable to speak clearly.

Xia Cao quickly stopped Xia Hua. “Xia Hua, let him speak.”

Xia Hua withdrew her hand as if waking up from a dream. “Sorry, sorry. Please, tell us quickly.”

Mao Pu let out a breath, steadying his heartbeat. “I know, but the situation is a bit complicated. I’ll explain when your King returns.”

He had heard someone say that Lu Yu had been captured by their own tribe. Although Mao Pu didn’t believe anyone from their tribe would do such a thing, it was better to inform their King directly, just in case. Plus, becoming a subordinate tribe was also something that needed careful consideration.

Xia Hua and Xia Cao were very anxious, but seeing that Mao Pu had made up his mind not to speak, they couldn’t force him, so they had to suppress their impatience and wait for their King to return. Fortunately, Tai Lie saw the recall smoke signal and thought they had found Lu Yu. He rushed back at an inhuman speed.

Tai Lie, who did not see Lu Yu as he had hoped, emitted a thick aura of resentment between his brows, like a volcano on the verge of eruption, wanting to destroy everything.

Mao Pu, who completely ignored, was slightly intimidated by his imposing manner, feeling weak in the legs and almost afraid to speak up.

“Um, I know where Lu Yu went…” Mao Pu weakly raised his hand.

Tai Lie abruptly turned his head, emitting a creaking sound from his neck.

Mao Pu swallowed hard, and with determination, he said, “There are too many people here. Should we—”

“Speak!” A terrifying low growl interrupted him without hesitation.

Even though Mao Pu had some plans in mind, he dared not remain silent at this moment. “I was captured by people from the Three Major Tribes before. They tortured me, wanting to know about Lu Yu… Don’t worry! I didn’t say anything except that he’s good at cooking! Then, when they found me useless, they tried to kill me, but thankfully Lu Yu’s pills—”

“Where did he go?” Tai Lie impatiently shouted.

“The Green Forest land!” Mao Pu blurted out in fear. “And he was taken away by your people!”

The somewhat tumultuous atmosphere instantly became cold.

“Our people? Impossible!” Xia Cao exclaimed sharply. “You’re lying! We wouldn’t do such a thing, and all of our people are here…”

As she spoke, Xia Cao’s voice gradually faded, remembering that there was one person missing.

“Cha Zhe.”

A voice, as if violated something private, erupted from her throat, already furious to the extreme.

Xia Cao’s expression became solemn, and she said no more.

Xia Hua’s anger flared. “It must be him! It all makes sense! Otherwise, how could he disappear? How could Ah Feng not see any outsiders? He’s actually this kind of person! We treated him so well!”

Shan Pu clenched his fists tightly. “If he dares to harm Lu Yu, I will kill him!”

Le Shui said indifferently, “I’ll take action.”

“Why would he do this?!”

“In any case, we can’t let him get away with it!”

“Absolutely not!”

For a moment, the Matai crowd was stirred up, almost overturning the wooden hut.

The only one who remained relatively calm, Xia Cao, spoke up to stabilize everyone. “Let’s not talk about this for now. King, let’s hurry and rescue Lu Yu.”

Tai Lie raised his head, his expression like the calm before the storm’s final eruption.

“Everyone, to the Green Forest land”
