Crossing To The Primitive With A Game Panel - Chapter 104
A few days ago, Lu Yu called in a Matai and told him that he wanted him to go to the Beast Plain again.
“…Besides checking the current situation in the Beast Plain, there is something even more important. I want you to go and inquire with Chief Zhu Hua,” Lu Yu said.
“The Witch said.”
Lu Yu pondered for a moment, “I want you to ask Chief Zhu Hua about the witch of the three great tribes.”
“The witch?”
“Yes, that witch…”
—
Back to the present.
The Matai said, “Chief Zhu Hua said that he was not the chief of the tribe more than a dozen years ago yet, just an ordinary warrior. He was rarely taken to the Beast Plain by the chief at that time, but he said he remembered that there seemed to be some big movement in the three great tribes at that time.
He was once sent out by the leader at night to do something, and he accidentally saw a large group of warriors going out. However, because they were on the outer layer, they didn’t really understand the situation inside at that time. By the way, at that time, only people from the three great tribes were in the inner layer of the Beast Plain.”
Lu Yu’s voice turned cold, “Continue.”
The Matai vaguely felt something and looked uneasily at Lu Yu before continuing, “Then I asked about the witch of the three great tribes. Chief Zhu Hua said that he had only heard of that witch but had not seen him. His status in the three great tribes was very high, but later, for some reason, he went to another land during a great drift,”
Lu Yu asked, “Around what time?”
The Matai said, “Chief Zhu Hua said it was during the great drift nine years ago. Because the witch’s departure was a big deal, there was a saying that the three great tribes lost to another land in a certain battle, so they gave the witch to them. However, Chief Zhu Hua said he didn’t think so because at that time, the three great tribes valued the witch more than anything else. Even if the tribe was gone, their leaders wouldn’t give the witch to others, so it’s very likely that the witch wanted to leave himself…”
Lu Yu sneered, “Of course, he had to leave.”
The Matai continued, “Later, that witch came back, but it wasn’t during this great drift, but four years ago during another great drift. After he came back, he somehow left again. This time, during this great drift, he came back again. By the way, Chief Zhu Hua said that about four years ago, the three great tribes had more very powerful warriors, and these warriors actually successfully resisted the beast tide, so it made other tribes all want to move to the Beast Plain under the leadership of the three great tribes, because it was very safe there.”
Lu Yu’s lips turned into a sharp straight line, and his eyes became completely cold.
The Matai said, “Chief Zhu Hua said that’s all he knows. If you still want to know about that witch, he’ll help inquire. But he said that as soon as this great drift is over, they’ll rush back to their own tribes immediately.”
Lu Yu frowned, “Now, because there are people from other lands everywhere, the three great tribes can still be somewhat restrained. If they wait until the great drift is over and then leave, aren’t they afraid of being ambushed on the way like other tribes?”
The Matai said, “Chief Zhu Hua is afraid of this, so they haven’t dared to leave now. But if the great drift is about to end soon, and if they still don’t leave, it’s estimated that the three great tribes will have no more cover and will directly kill everyone. Chief Zhu Hua asked me to tell you, if possible, can you help them a bit? They will give us the biggest reward they can give, because only we can leave the Beast Plain safely…”
Lu Yu and the others left suddenly, and they were very careful, and their speed was very fast, so the three great tribes probably didn’t have time to take measures.
Lu Yu asked, “How many people are there?”
The Matai said, “In addition to Chief Zhu Hua and his two friends’ tribes, there are also several small tribes that haven’t agreed to the conditions of the three great tribes. They are all in the camp behind the mountains by the sea, probably about three to four hundred people. Although they gather together, they are still a considerable force, but they are probably not enough to face the three great tribes with powerful warriors.”
Finally, the Matai asked softly, “Witch, do we need to go and rescue them?”
Lu Yu’s face relaxed a little, and he said seriously, “King and I will consider it carefully.”
The Matai said he would follow any arrangements made by Lu Yu and Tai Lie. After delivering all the news, he left.
Lu Yu closed the door and turned around.
“Tai Lie, I think our speculation has been confirmed…”
Tai Lie sat quietly there, calmly wiping the iron axe in his hand, surrounded by an impending storm.
“Lu Yu, back then, only the three great tribes with powerful warriors could mobilize so many people to attack the Matais, and the reason is also obvious.”
Lifespan.
Lu Yu still remembered how Xia Cao explained to him why the Matais didn’t like outsiders.
“…They saw that they couldn’t beat us slowly, so they brought people from other tribes, saying that if they ate our flesh and drank our blood, they could live forever.”
Xia Cao’s words echoed in Lu Yu’s ears. At that time, he thought it was someone who accidentally discovered the Matais’ uniqueness, which attracted disaster. Now he realized that someone was deliberately searching for these special people behind the scenes, as well as Cha Zhe’s tribe…
In the end, it was just someone wanting to obtain a longer lifespan that they shouldn’t have.
They wanted it, but he ruthlessly used the lives of millions of people to prolong his own life.
Tai Lie stood up expressionlessly, “I’ll go get him.”
Lu Yu shook his head, “Not to mention we don’t even know where that person is. Even if he’s in the inner layer of the Beast Plain, even if you see him at a glance, given how ‘fond of life’ he is, the people around him must all be powerful warriors he created. You won’t be able to get close to him.”
If it were anyone else saying this, Tai Lie would surely not listen, but he took in every word of Lu Yu’s. Suppressing the bloodlust in his eyes, he asked, “What do you suggest?”
“In our battle with the three great tribes, we’ve already made up our minds, but we need to be fully prepared. Revenge is a must, but after revenge, we still need to lead the Matais to continue living well. So we can’t exchange our lives for his, it’s not worth it,” Lu Yu said seriously.
“Okay,” Tai Lie nodded.
Lu Yu walked over, placed his hand on Tai Lie’s shoulder, tiptoed, and kissed his thin lips, “Everything will be fine, trust me.”
After some discussion between the two, Lu Yu convened a council meeting.
This council meeting not only included Matais and valley people but also Mao Pu, the chief of the Blackwater tribe.
After one or two months of getting along and working together, the people of the valley had basically accepted the people of the Blackwater tribe. Mainly because they found that the people who used to oppress them the most were gone, and the people of the Blackwater tribe were very kind to them. Not only kind but also subtly cautious. After the people of the valley realized this, they naturally let go of their grudges.
During the meeting, Lu Yu mainly talked about rescuing Zhu Hua and preparing for war with the three great tribes.
Lu Yu paused and said, “Fang Lao, rest assured, as long as everyone stays in the city, they should be fine and won’t harm you.” They had already coordinated with the Blackwater tribe.
However, the people of the valley had no grievances with the three great tribes in the first place, so Lu Yu didn’t want to involve them.
Fang Lao said calmly, “Deputy Chief, have you forgotten that we are a subsidiary tribe of Tai Yu? If Tai Yu is fighting in the front, how can we just watch from behind? We’ve been eating well lately and have gained strength. We can always help a little, or do you think we’re useless? Just a burden?”
Lu Yu hurriedly said, “Of course not. It’s just that I promised everyone at the beginning to lead them to a better life. I don’t want…”
Fang Lao waved his hand to stop Lu Yu from finishing his words, “You’ve helped us enough. This is your kindness, not something you should do. Besides, I remember you telling me a phrase—sharing joys and sorrows together. How can we enjoy the good without enduring the bad? If you think I’m just saying this, just ask anyone in the valley if they’re willing to fight alongside Tai Yu. I dare say, no one will say no.”
Fang Lao smiled, “Besides, we have confidence in Tai Yu. We won’t lose to the three great tribes!”
Lu Yu remained silent for a long time and finally said very seriously.
“I understand. The valley tribe will participate in this battle.”
Because this great drift was the largest in many years, its duration was also long, but more than two months was already the limit.
Zhu Hua looked at the increasingly restless sea, feeling uneasy inside.
“Zhu Hua, do you think the Tai Yu tribe will come back to help us?” Jin Chang, the leader of the Jin Fang tribe, who was with Zhu Hua, asked worriedly.
Compared to his anxiety, Zhu Hua seemed confident, “Deputy Chief Lu will consider it carefully. When they left, didn’t they promise to help us if we were in trouble?”
Jin Chang said, “But this matter is too serious. Maybe they’ll come and never leave again. I don’t deny the strength of their tribe warriors, but you’ve also seen the three great tribes. Their warriors are also very strong, and there are more and more people…”
Zhu Hua frowned, “More today?”
Jin Chang nodded, hesitating, “Yes, and I noticed something, I don’t know if it’s important…”
Zhu Hua asked, “Go on.”
Jin Chang said, “Today, I saw several warriors from the three great tribes by the sea. I always felt they looked familiar, a bit like the people of the Gao Hui tribe, but they were much stronger, with bulging muscles all over. The Gao Hui tribe doesn’t have such powerful warriors.”
Zhu Hua pondered.
Seeing Zhu Hua’s silence, Jin Chang thought he also felt it was unreliable for Lu to come and save them and sighed heavily, “What exactly do the three great tribes want to do? We’ve been in the Beast Plain all along, trying to keep a low profile, but they’re so ruthless, not giving us any way out.”
But talk is talk, and Jin Chang never intended to go back and submit to the three great tribes.
“Sigh, let’s leave it to fate,” Jin Chang said with frustration.
