Crossing To The Primitive With A Game Panel

Although Lu Yu didn’t understand lip reading, he still understood those three words and exclaimed, “You want to help me? You’ve misunderstood. I gave you the pill not to…”

The black kid shook his head and made a hushing gesture, cautiously looking outside the cave, then silently mouthed a word, ‘Quick!’

Lu Yu didn’t hesitate anymore.

The best option now was to find Tai Lie and the others, but the black kid had never seen them, and Tai Lie didn’t know where they were. Maybe as soon as the black kid left, Cha Zhe would immediately move him to another location.

They had to save themselves.

Lu Yu described the appearance of his two rings to the black kid. Only he could retrieve things from the rings; to others, they were just two iron rings. Lu Yu thought Cha Zhe wouldn’t casually discard his belongings; he probably kept them on him.

The black kid carefully memorized Lu Yu’s description.

Lu Yu emphasized in a low voice, “If you can’t find them, forget it. Don’t provoke him.” Cha Zhe wouldn’t harm him, but it could be different for this black kid.

The black kid nodded slightly and stealthily walked out.

A small bonfire burned at the entrance of the cave, casting dim light into the cave, where the air was cold and humid.

Lu Yu waited nervously in the cave. He had already planned that if Cha Zhe found out, he would have to protect the black kid at all costs. He didn’t hold much hope; after all, the rings were too small, and Cha Zhe would surely be vigilant.

Time passed like a second and yet like an eternity.

Suddenly, Lu Yu heard a roar and noisy footsteps coming from the cave entrance.

“Ah ah ah!” The black kid stumbled into the cave, shouting incoherently, holding his arm.

Was it successful?! Lu Yu thought, overjoyed.

But soon, he saw a figure closely following behind the black kid.

“You’re seeking death!” Cha Zhe growled lowly and forcefully kicked the black kid.

Caught off guard, the black kid fell to the ground, still holding onto something tightly in his hand.

Seeing Cha Zhe about to strike the black kid to death, Lu Yu shouted with all his might, “Cha Zhe, stop!”

Cha Zhe’s raised foot instinctively paused. In that momentary pause, the black kid seized the opportunity. He raised his arm with all his strength and threw whatever he was holding in front of Lu Yu.

It was Lu Yu’s two storage rings!

Cha Zhe’s gaze froze, no longer paying attention to the person under his foot. He walked straight toward Lu Yu. But before he could take a few steps, the black kid tightly hugged his leg.

At the same time, Lu Yu picked up the rings and quickly put them on his fingers.

Cha Zhe’s temples bulged with veins as he kicked away the person blocking him recklessly.

He stopped advancing and stood firm, coldly saying, “Huh, Lu Yu, what’s the use of taking that? I know everything inside, just some weapons and armor. The red medicine doesn’t work for you. What can you do with those? Or are you relying on this useless person to help you?”

With that, he stepped on the black kid’s back and ruthlessly crushed down.

“But, Lu Yu, I really underestimated you. At a time like this, you still manage to get someone to help you.” Cha Zhe’s voice involuntarily carried a hint of jealousy and resentment.

Lu Yu raised his head coldly and said, “Enough, Cha Zhe.”

“What’s enough?” Cha Zhe lazily moved his foot, “Are you going to say again that this isn’t real, that I’m not this kind of person—”

The black kid remained motionless, probably fainting from the pain.

“No.” Lu Yu’s expression was blank as he took something out of the ring and held it in his hand, “I was wrong; you are this kind of person. Human life means nothing to you, does it?”

Cha Zhe’s eyelids flicked up suddenly.

Lu Yu extended his arm and quickly tossed what was in his hand into his mouth, swallowing it.

Cha Zhe, ignoring the pain in his chest, frowned and asked, “What did you eat?”

Lu Yu didn’t answer him. He stood up slowly and retrieved armor from the ring, while gripping a stone spear in his hand.

He looked at Cha Zhe indifferently. “Cha Zhe, leave.”

“What do you mean?” Cha Zhe clenched his fists and took a step forward.

“You leave now, and I can pretend nothing happened. You can go and live a better life, and you will meet someone you like and who likes you.”

Cha Zhe’s eyes turned red with anger. “Let me go? Lu Yu, although I don’t know how you suddenly can move, do you think you can escape just because you can move now? I’m not the one who can only take a beating anymore.”

He pressed his hands against the nearby stone wall, grabbed a piece of rock, and crushed it with force.

Lu Yu frowned slightly, silently activating his game panel.

The blue light circled around Cha Zhe.

【Evolved Species +1 (Ability Unknown)】

+1?

Lu Yu was astonished. Evolution could evolve further? This was outrageous.

Cha Zhe walked step by step towards Lu Yu, his expression indecipherable, breathing heavily. “This time, I won’t let you off. I’ll tie you up and then have my way with you.”

If he was completely disappointed with him, if he was destined not to win his heart, why should he endure any longer?

Lu Yu tightened his grip on the stone spear. Did this brat still want to play the dark room?

If it weren’t for being in primitive society, he would really suspect this unlucky brat had seen too many strange things.

Lu Yu had also trained in the dream training ground for some time. Compared to his earlier pathetic state, he now wielded a far more potent weapon.

Seeing Cha Zhe step into his attack range, Lu Yu didn’t hesitate to raise his stone spear and swiftly thrust it at an acute angle.

The sound of air being sliced resounded.

Cha Zhe pivoted his step, dodging to the side while simultaneously closing in on Lu Yu, delivering a chopping blow towards his wrist.

Lu Yu attempted to evade, but perhaps speed and reflexes truly required innate talent. Cha Zhe’s secondary evolution seemed formidable, and although Lu Yu tried his best, he still got hit. His wrist numbed, and the stone spear clattered to the ground.

Cha Zhe sneered, “You’re still so weak. But I can protect you…”

A grown man being called weak was intolerable to Lu Yu. “Don’t speak too soon!”

Facing Cha Zhe’s approach, Lu Yu remained calm, disregarding the fallen spear. Instead, he clenched his fist and fiercely smashed it to his side.

Cha Zhe chuckled, effortlessly catching the punch. His strength was in a league of its own, and Lu Yu thought—

An abrupt change occurred!

Lu Yu’s seemingly soft fist suddenly became as hard as iron.

“Eugh!” Cha Zhe grunted as he was sent flying by the impact of Lu Yu’s fist. He crashed to the ground, his back slamming against the stone wall, searing pain spreading as if it had split open, causing him to curl up in agony.

“How… how did you… cough…” Cha Zhe coughed harshly, a trace of blood appearing at the corner of his mouth.

Lu Yu instinctively took a step forward but quickly gritted his teeth and retracted his foot. The sudden surge in strength was thanks to the previously dropped Strength Potion. Trying it out on a whim, he didn’t expect such remarkable results. His entire body was now filled with strength. However, he wouldn’t say anything more to Cha Zhe. Their relationship had reached a point of opposition.

It was okay for someone to like oneself, Lu Yu thought, but the various actions Cha Zhe had taken were unacceptable to him. It was no longer mere affection but a paranoid possessiveness that disregarded others’ well-being.

Lu Yu calmly stated, “Cha Zhe, it ends here.”

Cha Zhe’s face turned pale, silent and speechless. Lu Yu’s punch was truly heavy, and after struggling for a moment, he couldn’t stand up.

Lu Yu caught sight of someone out of the corner of his eye. He walked over in two or three steps, helped the black kid lying on the ground, checked his wounds, and then stuffed a red pill into his mouth.

The black kid slowly regained consciousness.

“Are you alright?” Lu Yu asked first. Seeing the black kid nod, he then turned to Cha Zhe. “Cha Zhe, did you make him mute? Bring out the antidote!”

Cha Zhe sneered, his expression sinister. “Antidote? Ha, how could such a thing exist?”

Lu Yu helped the black kid to the side and then went outside the cave entrance to find Cha Zhe’s leather pouch. He brought it back.

Seeing the pouch, Cha Zhe’s face stiffened. He reached out to snatch it back, but ended up clutching his chest in pain and collapsing to the ground.

Lu Yu rummaged through the leather pouch and found several small bamboo tubes sealed with grass leaves. He opened one and looked inside, finding powdered plants of various colors.

Lu Yu was familiar with edible plants, but he couldn’t identify these powders by scent. However, one of the tubes seemed to have a faint smell similar to the medicine he gave Cha Zhe that day. He hadn’t noticed it at first because his attention was diverted by Cha Zhe.

Lu Yu moved away this tube and let the black kid smell the rest. The black kid picked one out, and then Lu Yu kept the remaining two tubes, unsure if they were antidotes for poison or something else.

After organizing them, Lu Yu put them into Cha Zhe’s leather pouch and carried it on his back. “Let’s go. We’ll catch some wild beasts outside to test these powders.”

The black kid nodded eagerly, stood up, and obediently followed behind Lu Yu.

The two of them walked out of the cave without looking back.

“Lu Yu!” Cha Zhe roared angrily, his face twisted.

Lu Yu paused.

Cha Zhe’s gloomy face brightened for a moment. He still harbored a faint hope that Lu Yu, with his soft heart, wouldn’t abandon him like this. But soon, that hope shattered.

Lu Yu took out a stone dagger from the leather pouch and gently placed it at the cave entrance.

Without looking back, the two of them walked into the deep night.

“Boss! That’s the cave ahead! The strongest scent of Witch!” Ming Shan ecstatically pointed to the nearby stone cave.

Tai Lie solemnly gripped his iron axe. “Let’s go!”
