This ability, Lu Yu dares to guarantee, no other Witch has it.
King Matai agreed without much thought, but it was impossible to let Lu Yu go alone. A group of people returned to the place where the mammoth was killed.
The treasure chest dropped by the beast can only be seen and touched by Lu Yu alone, and the items inside will only be visible after passing through Lu Yu’s hand.
The Matai people didn’t know why, they saw the Witch they had just picked up, squatted there, stretched out his hands in the air, and his hands were still shaking.
The Matai people watched as the Witch they had just picked up, crouched down, and made a picking-up action with his shaking hands outstretched.
Lu Yu was extremely excited.
The Little Red Medicine that was dropped before was dropped directly and didn’t have the special treatment of being kept in a treasure chest like this.
He opened the box, looked at a silver ring lying inside, swallowed, and picked it up.
A pale blue light screen suddenly popped up.
【Obtained Storage Ring x1 (D Grade)】
【Storage Space 10x10x10 (Unit: Meter)】
At the same time, the Matai people who were standing a few meters away were stunned, with disbelief on their faces. Subconsciously holding their breath, they stared at the thin and pale Witch and the things in his hand.
Lu Yu put the ring on the index finger of his right hand and instantly felt a wonderful connection with the storage ring.
Smiling in satisfaction, he was thinking about whether to take away the treasure chest (it looked like it was made of gold), but in the blink of an eye, the treasure chest had disappeared. So he could only sigh regretfully, prop up on his knees, and stand up.
“Witch, what is that?” Shan Pu, who wanted to kill Lu Yu not long ago, was now behaving like a puppy and asked cautiously.
Looking up, Lu Yu raised his arm, the back of his hand towards Shan Pu, showing him the ring, and said with a straight face, “This is something that only us witches can use. Others will die if they take it.”
The Matai people did not doubt him, and nodded in awe, “Then what is the use of that?”
“Watch.” Lu Yu walked up to the huge mammoth carcass and put his hand on the mammoth’s leg.
Lu Yu swallowed nervously.
Two seconds later, the mountain-like mammoth corpse disappeared in an instant. There was no noise, and neither was there any trace left. It was as if the mammoth had never existed.
Lu Yu let out a breath.
The Matai opened their mouth wide and rubbed their eyes desperately.
“Oh God……”
“What happened? Where’s the mammoth?”
“I must be going blind!”
———————————
King Matai frowned slightly and glanced at the place where the mammoth’s corpse disappeared.
Lu Yuzheng was satisfied with the reaction of the Matai people and turned his head to see the calm and serious King Matai. For some reason when Lu Yu saw him wrinkle his eyebrows, he was a little afraid. It felt like seeing an unhappy leader who held the power of life and death…
Does he think Lu Yu lost the mammoth corpse?
Just as Lu Yu was about to explain that he could still get it back.
King Matai spoke.
“Clean up,” King Matai gave a solemn glance at the setting sun, “Let’s go catch wild boars.”
“Good!” The Matai became serious in seconds, raised their wooden sticks, and responded loudly.
Lu Yu was stunned.
He got rid of their food and he wasn’t even scolded?
Is this man’s temper good or not?
“Wait! Wait!,” Looking at them excitedly preparing to set off, Lu Yu hurriedly stopped them, “It’s not lost, I just put it away.”
“Look.”
As soon as his words fell, the mammoth corpse reappeared in the place without warning.
The Matai people shouted in amazement.
After explaining, Lu Yu once again put the mammoth corpse back into the storage ring.
———————————
It was getting late, and the group of people began to rush to the cave where the Matai people lived.
Lu Yu also put the grass coat and back basket into the storage ring and was surrounded by the Matai people in the middle, chatting in a relaxed manner. In addition to extracting information, he also instructed the Matai to kill a few hares.
It has to be said that the little brother called Shan Pu is a really fast runner. With his body leaning forward, eyes resolute and bloodthirsty, he is just like a real cheetah. It is completely different from his usual straightforward and somewhat simple appearance.
The hares generously dropped some Little Red Medicine, and Lu Yu happily picked them up and put them into the storage ring.
Just this burst of harvest was almost more than what he got in more than ten days he had been here.
With only a few rays of afterglow left in the sky, they finally arrived at the Matai cave.
“King, you are back!” The guards standing at the entrance of the cave ran over excitedly with wooden sticks.
The sharp-eyed guard Cheng Ping noticed that the hunting team led by King didn’t seem to have gained anything today. He paused, but his face was still happy, and said heartily, “Le Shui and the others caught a few fat rabbits to eat tonight!”
Matai people, whether male or female, are all strong and have great appetites. They can eat seven or eight catties of meat in one meal. A few rabbits are not even enough to stuff the gap between their teeth1means to describe too little food, not enough to eat at all..
However, it is common for them to return empty-handed when they go out hunting. It’s already worth being happy that King and the others can come back intact, even if they didn’t hunt anything.
Cheng Ping, who had stood at the entrance of the cave all day, comforted himself optimistically. Anyway, they, the Matai people can withstand hunger. It’s okay to not eat a few meals.
“Cheng Ping, how do you know we didn’t catch anything?” Shan Pu stepped forward, stretched out his long arm, and wrapped it around Cheng Ping’s neck, laughing wickedly.
Cheng Ping: ?
Is there still a need to ask, you don’t have anything in your hands.
Shan Pu grinned: “Let me tell you, not only did we catch a mammoth, but you know today we also caught…… Bah, do you know who we brought back?”
Before Cheng Ping could ask where the prey they caught was, he was distracted by Shan Pu’s mysterious expression and asked stupidly, “Who? ah?”
Do they have any distant relatives in the Matai tribe?
“It’s—” Shan Pu turned his head and looked into the middle of the crowd.
The crowd spread out to both sides, spontaneously giving way to a super walk of fame.
Lu Yu had no choice but to bite the bullet2to do something unpleasant or painful because it is necessary even though you would like to avoid it and walk out in this seemingly chunibyo3pretentious behavior of early adolescents who want to stand out and who have convinced themselves they have hidden knowledge or secret powers, characterized as a sickness. manner.
Shan Pu stood akimbo with his chin raised, and exclaimed proudly, “Witch!! We brought back a Witch!!”
Cheng Ping looked sluggish, “Ha?”
Soon he realized something and looked at the person who came out with a sparkling gaze, “Ha!!”
Shan Pu slapped him on the back disdainfully, “Hahaha, let me show you the power of our Witch!”
Finished speaking, he trotted up to Lu Yu, restrained his arrogant appearance just now, and asked in a soft tone like he was afraid that he would blow people away if he was any louder, “Witch, can you take out the prey now?”
Lu Yu nodded a little amusedly.
Perhaps he was infected by this chuuni4aka chunibyo atmosphere so after a thought, Lu Yu raised his right hand and snapped his fingers.
Snap!
A huge mammoth appeared in the open space not far away with its feet upturned.
While Shan Pu and the others were talking, the Matai people who were staying in the cave also ran out one after another, just in time to see this scene. Everyone let out a burst of exclamation.
“Wow!!”
Lu Yu looked over.
The Matai people who ran out were basically women and children. There were about 30 of them. Whether they were women or children, they all had wheat-colored skin, neither fat nor thin, and had a healthy appearance with well-defined muscles.
They are not at all the same as the monkey-like primitive man figures in the history books.
Lu Yu was not surprised. When they were chatting on the road, he had already understood that the people of the Matai tribe were born with strong bodies and well-developed limbs. Both men and women are extremely powerful. It’s purely their racial talent.
However, their population is very small, with only about 60 of them in total.
The Matai men returned to their wives and children one after another.
Even Shan Pu ran up to a girl and danced around her, telling about how lucky he had been to ‘pick up’ a Witch.
“Le Shui.” King Matai who was standing alone suddenly called out.
The air suddenly fell silent.
A man with a scarred face took a step forward.
“Go and divide the meat with Cheng Ping and the others” King Matai commanded.
Scarface nodded, turned around, and beckoned a few people to follow him to carry the mammoth corpse.
King Matai continued to call out names, “Xia Cao”
A middle-aged woman with a gentle face walked out.
King Matai, “Come with me.”
He turned to look at Lu Yu, “You come too.”
When the three entered the cave, only then did the Matai become noisy again. The active people began to be busy in full swing, and the idle people gathered in small groups, excitedly discussing the new Witch.
“Although Witch looks a little thin, he is really good-looking.”
“Yeah. I can’t believe it, we have a witch!”
“What food should I prepare for him? He is so white, does he eat meat?”
“I don’t know, go find Shanpu and the others to ask.”
“Good….”
———————————
Lu Yu followed behind King Matai, looking at the cave where the Matai tribe lived.
The cave was large and deep, but there was no strange or unpleasant smell in the air. The ground is neatly paved with clean plants with extremely wide leaves neatly laid out, which should be the beds. There are also pots made of mud on both sides, with some fresh flowers inserted in them, and piles of washed bones piled up in the corner.
Although the adult Matai women are all 1.8 meters tall, with toned bodies, and their combat effectiveness cannot be underestimated, they seem to be very good at taking care of themselves.
King Matai stopped in front of a bed of leaves in the deepest part of the cave, pointed to the empty space next to it, and said to the middle-aged Matai woman named Xia Cao, “Prepare some Nala grass here.”
Xia Cao, “All right, King.”
King Matai looked at Lu Yu, “From now on, you will sleep next to me.”
———————————
Is this to monitor him, afraid that he will run away?
Although Lu Yu was ready to be imprisoned, one minute he was a witch worshipped by everyone, and the next minute, he was under strict surveillance and there was still a little bit of disappointment in his heart.
He boldly refused, “No need to do this, I won’t run away, so there’s no need to occupy the king’s sleeping position.”
King Matai was slightly taken aback, pursed his lips, and did not speak. The air pressure around his whole body became a little low.
Xia Cao looked at her own king who was not good at words, and at the new white and pure Witch, and then she covered her mouth and smiled.
She explained to Lu Yu, “Witch, we are often attacked by wild beasts. The king put your grass bed here to better protect you. Look, the grass bed of our clan’s children is also near here.”
She pointed not far away.
Ah? This is……
Lu Yu’s face was a little hot. He scratched his chin, and his eyes drifted to the side, “Then, then I will sleep here, thank you, Your Majesty.”
King Matai nodded his head, didn’t speak anymore, and left straight away.
“Witch, sit down and rest for a while.” Xia Cao pointed to a huge round leaf with a diameter of about one meter on the ground.
“Okay.” Lu Yu had been walking for a long time, and he was indeed a little tired.
Xia Cao took some Nala grass and also sat down, arranging the leaves to be used, and spoke in a gentle voice, “Witch, What do you want me to tell you? Or should I introduce you to our Matai tribe first?”
Xia Cao is the most temperamental and intelligent woman in the Matai tribe. King Matai asked her to come, not just to help make the bed.
Lu Yu took advantage of this opportunity to ask the reason for the small number of Matai people.
“If you can’t say it, it doesn’t matter” Lu Yu added.
Xia Cao smiled with a hint of bitterness, “In fact, there is nothing that cannot be said. If Witch wants to hear it, I will simply talk about it.”
She put down her work, “Ten years ago, we didn’t live here. At that time, although there were not many Matai, there were more than 1,000 people. We occasionally exchanged words with other tribes and exchanged some food. But then from that side—”
Xia Cao stretched out his hand and gestured with her finger, “A group of people we have never seen before came and started besieging us.”
“There were 10,000 to 20,000 of them, holding weapons we have never seen before which can easily cut and wound us, but we have great strength and resilience. Seeing that they can’t beat us, they slowly found people from other tribes, saying that if they eat our flesh and drink our blood, they can live forever.”
Xia Cao lowered her eyes and clenched the hand holding the Nala grass unconsciously, the veins on the back of her hand were bulging, “People from other tribes knew where we lived, attacked there, and killed all the old and young who stayed behind. Then they surrounded us together with the outsiders.”
“In the end, King escaped with us and a few older children.”
Lu Yu was silent.
Just because of their longevity, others became jealous and envious, provoking a slaughter.
Those people who eat the flesh and blood of their own kind, can they still be considered ‘human beings’?
Lu Yu didn’t know what the three views of these primitive people were, anyway, as a modern person, he couldn’t accept them.
As for why King Matai suddenly wanted to kill him before, he has probably figured it out. When he said that he came from a certain place, he was referring to the direction that Xia Cao said the outsider came from.
Presumably, he still has some resemblance to those outsiders, which triggered King Matai’s sudden killing intent.
Knowing this, although Lu Yu still felt a little resentment toward the Matai people who wanted to kill him indiscriminately, unconsciously it was much less.
It stands to reason that at this time, Lu Yu should comfort her, but Lu Yu really couldn’t do it.
His parents passed away early, and his grandfather, whom he was dependent upon, also passed away when he was only twelve years old. He does not have a solitary personality, but he really does not have any friends that manage to enter his heart. From small to large, he has endured many hardships and suffered several injuries, always supporting himself, never needing others’ sympathy and comfort, so naturally he doesn’t have any experience in comforting others.
He had no choice but to dryly change the topic and talk about something else.
By the way, he also learned that King Matai’s name is Tai Lie.
Lu Yu chewed the word ‘Tai Lie’ several times and suddenly remembered something.
“By the way, how did your language… come to be?”
The author has something to say: The Matai people are the strongest human beings. It’s just that there is no technology or equipment now. In the future, Lu Yu will help them arrange it clearly.
