Crossing To The Primitive With A Game Panel - Chapter 107
Lu Yu pushed away the man who leaned in with a mouthful of vulgar words, looked at everyone, and felt much relieved.
No one knew how this battle would turn out, and no one could be sure that they would definitely win this battle. In fact, the timing of this battle was not the best for them. Whether it was the Matai, the Valley, or the Blackwater, they were all in a period of rapid absorption and rapid development. Logically speaking, it would be better to wait a while longer. However, the ambitions of the three great tribes had begun to expand too rapidly. Now was the best time to contain them.
Moreover, it was unknown whether that person would leave here again for another land.
Lu Yu was not the kind of person who would watch the enemy grow stronger and escape.
The grudges of the Matai must be avenged, and they would continue to survive in this land.
That night, Lu Yu discussed some details with Ming Shan, who stayed behind in the dream training ground.
The next day, all the adult Matai people mobilized and carried the two large boats that San Qiu and the others had hastily made to the place mentioned by Shan Pu. Without enough speed potions, the Matai people hurried on the road, but it still took them a day.
This was downstream of the Beast Plain River. To go from here to Beast Plain, they must pay attention to the wind direction and use the sails. If they were to come from Beast Plain to here, they could simply retract the sails and go downstream. Lu Yu had instructed Shan Pu about this. When they went, they could wait for the right wind direction, but they must ensure that the boat could sail when they returned.
Perhaps it was heaven’s help, but the morning after they brought the boat over, a strong wind came. The wind direction was exactly what they needed.
Lu Yu stood at the bow of the ship, watching the waves churn on the river surface.
In the distance, the sun had just risen from the horizon, and there was clarity between heaven and earth.
The excitement of the Matai people occasionally came from behind him. Not only was it their first time riding such a big boat, it was also their first time piloting such a boat. However, most of the Matai people had only learned for a few days and were on temporary duty. They still needed guidance from San Qiu and the others, mainly for hoisting the sails. When they returned, it would be much easier with just San Qiu and a few others.
Lu Yu blew the wind alone for quite a while.
Tai Lie walked up to him.
“You and Xia Hua should ride the boat together.”
Lu Yu turned to look at him, paused for a moment, and nodded. “Okay.”
Tai Lie rubbed his cheek with the back of his hand.
“I’ll be back soon.”
Lu Yu smiled. “I know.”
—
In the tree house of Beast Plain Stone City.
“Report to the witch, the people of the Zu Ting Tribe are making a move.” A person knelt respectfully on the ground.
Zhao Yuhua lay sideways on the couch, facing away, holding a straw fan in his hand, lazily fanning himself. “They’re finally trying to escape?”
This cat and mouse game, where the mouse always pretended to be dead without moving, was really boring.
The person below replied, “It seems not, they went to the riverside…”
“The riverside? All of them?”
“Yes, with women and children. Witch, should we…?”
Zhao Yuhua lazily asked, “How’s the situation in the city been handled?”
“The useless ones have been taken care of, and the stone wall is being rebuilt. But as for the ‘medicine’ side… the progress is a bit slow. Only over seven hundred people have survived after drinking the ‘medicine’, and some are still in a coma.”
Hearing this, Zhao Yuhua stopped fanning and sat up from the couch.
The slave girl standing in the shadows quickly took the fan and presented a stone bowl containing red liquid.
Zhao Yuhua took the stone bowl and took a sip. “These people are all useless. How is the situation in the Wilderness? Have the people been sent over?”
“The Lang Yuan Tribe and the Xin Yuan Tribe in the Wilderness have been in constant conflict since the tribal battle. In these past few days, a large-scale conflict has erupted. The Xin Yuan Tribe suddenly became powerful. The Lang Yuan Tribe couldn’t hold on and suffered many casualties. So, not only did they not send people over, they also want… you to intervene…”
“Suddenly became powerful? How did that happen?” Zhao Yuhua put down the stone bowl with a snap and sneered, “You’re not going to tell me that our ‘medicine’ was stolen and used by others, are you?”
The person kneeling heard his tone become dangerously cold and trembled in fear, “N-no, subordinates have been keeping a close eye on the ‘medicine’, absolutely not a single bit was missing. That Lang Yuan Tribe really did suddenly become strong…”
Zhao Yuhua snorted coldly and didn’t pursue further. The manpower guarding the ‘medicine’ was arranged by him personally. If someone had stolen it, he would have moved in an instant.
Zhao Yuhua picked up a clean blade of grass and meticulously wiped his hands, as if he were cleaning some precious fragile porcelain.
“Never mind, after things are settled here, I’ll go see how powerful this Xin Yuan Tribe has become. Ha, back when I was in the Wilderness, it was this tribe that caused me a lot of trouble, and now it’s them again.”
The person kneeling trembled with fear, not daring to interrupt.
Zhao Yuhua threw away the grass blade, revealing a hint of ferocity on his face.
“I really want to see how powerful they’ve become. Are they as formidable as the Matai tribe ten years ago?”
The kneeling person, in fear but also curious, hadn’t followed Zhao Yuhua back then and didn’t know what had happened.
Sensing his curiosity, Zhao Yuhua didn’t get angry but rather, without the anger from before, explained with some interest, “The Matai tribe was no ordinary people. They were extraordinary individuals who could make it into the history books, with lifespans of thousands of years, and boundless strength… Haha, in the end, they were slaughtered by me and became my appetizers. It’s a pity that I didn’t cherish such ‘delicacies’ at that time. If I had kept them, they would have been the best candidates for the ‘medicine’ now.”
Zhao Yuhua regretted it. At the time, he thought that the flesh and blood of the Matai tribe’s extraordinary individuals could help him with his experiments. However, it turned out to be a failure. Fortunately, he later encountered another tribe of extraordinary individuals who could heal external injuries on their own…
Zhao Yuhua was lost in memories.
“Witch…?” The kneeling person, seeing Zhao Yuhua had been speaking for a while, reluctantly interrupted.
He hadn’t gotten a result regarding the Zu Ting Tribe’s matter he had reported, and if something were to be delayed, he couldn’t bear the responsibility.
Snapping out of his memories, Zhao Yuhua looked at the person below and said indifferently, “Oh, right, the Zu Ting Tribe. Let Qiu Guang take a team and go. Forget about the women and children, occupy the area. As for the men, bring back as many as you can.”
“Understood, your command!”
—
The place where Zhu Hua and the others lived was not particularly far from the riverside, but it was still far enough that they couldn’t run fast with many women and children.
Ming Shan carried a child on his back and held two more under his arms, but he was still the most relaxed. However, soon, he couldn’t remain relaxed.
“Someone’s coming!” Ming Shan warned Zhu Hua and the others, “A lot of people, they seem to be coming straight for us, with no attempt to conceal their presence.”
Ming Shan wrinkled his nose, “A foul smell, it’s almost like beasts.”
Zhu Hua and the others shivered.
Zhu Hua hurriedly asked, “Brother Ming Shan, can you smell how far they are?”
Ming Shan, enduring his discomfort, sniffed carefully, “They’re about the distance from here to your camp.”
Jin Chang let out a sigh of relief, “That’s good, that’s good. They’re still far from us.”
Ming Shan shook his head, “It’s not good at all. Although they’re far, the scent I smell is getting stronger and stronger. If it’s not because they suddenly increased their numbers, it’s because they’re moving fast, at least much faster than you guys.”
With just a few words, Ming Shan made everyone’s emotions fluctuate. But when they heard that the troops from the Tai Yu Tribe were finally coming, the heavy stone in their hearts finally loosened a bit. The exhaustion from the long journey was replaced with renewed strength.
“Hold on a little longer!”
“Help is on the way soon!”
The leaders encouraged the crowd vigorously.
Ming Shan’s expression, however, was somewhat unsightly. Something wasn’t right. According to his estimation, King and the others should have arrived by now, but why was there still such a long distance?
Ming Shan’s estimate was not wrong. Originally, according to the pace of Lu Yu and the others, they were about to arrive, but unexpectedly, Lu Yu’s luck seemed to have run out this time, as they happened to encounter people from the Lang Yuan Tribe.
The Lang Yuan Tribe, in the Wilderness, had been in constant fierce battles with the Xin Yuan Tribe. Originally, they had always been suppressing the Xin Yuan Tribe, because the Xin Yuan Tribe didn’t accept outsiders much, and the tribe’s population was much smaller than the Lang Yuan Tribe’s, naturally resulting in a suppression in combat strength.
But for some reason, the people of the Xin Yuan Tribe suddenly changed. They were still the same people, but their bodies seemed to have turned into stone, and even stone blades couldn’t penetrate them…
Thinking of this, the hearts of the Lang Yuan Tribe’s people trembled slightly.
The people of the Xin Yuan Tribe were truly terrifying!
They were not human at all!
“We’re on our way and don’t want trouble. If you could make way for us, we’d be grateful.” A gentle voice came from the front, making the people of the Lang Yuan Tribe raise their heads, dissipating some of the fear dominated by the Xin Yuan Tribe.
They were no longer in the Wilderness; they were in the land of Beast Plain.
The most powerful figure here was someone they had worshiped.
The people of the Lang Yuan Tribe remembered Zhao Yuhua, and their chests swelled with pride.
Here, they had someone to protect them!
Here, they feared nothing!
The leader of the Lang Yuan Tribe laughed heartily, “Make way for us? I’d say you’d better hand over the women and supplies obediently. We’ll leave you with a complete corpse! Let me tell you, you’d better do it quickly. Otherwise, when the one our tribe worships sends someone over, you won’t even have a chance to beg for death!”
Worship?
Lu Yu squinted his eyes.
“Pardon my ignorance, but who is it that you worship?”
The leader of the Lang Yuan Tribe lifted his head proudly, “Listen well, it’s—the Witch!”
