Chapter 46
Lu Yu thought it was necessary to keep the lion meat. Like at this moment, he really wanted to take a bite to the lion meat and teleport instantly, but unfortunately, the meat was still drying...
A surge of heat flowed from Lu Yu’s nose to his limbs. He paused for a moment, released his hand from Tai Lie’s animal skin skirt, and calmly stood up with both hands on the ground.
Tai Lie also released his hand from Lu Yu’s shoulder.
Lu Yu patted the nonexistent dust on the animal skin skirt, turned around, and said, “We didn’t do anything. The ground was shaking just now, and I accidentally fell. That’s all.”
Lu Yu emphasized the word “fell.”
Shan Pu didn’t quite believe it. “Is that so...”
After hearing Tai Lie and Lu Yu’s conversation earlier, Shan Pu understood the unusual relationship between the two. Of course, although he had many misunderstandings about people like the broken man before, Chief and Witch were the people he admired and respected the most, so he unconditionally felt that there was nothing wrong with them being broken man.
However, he couldn’t help but secretly observe the two of them...
Lu Yu sensed that Shan Pu might know something, his expression unchanged. “That’s it. Do you have anything to tell me?”
Shan Pu hesitated imperceptibly, then raised his face with a silly smile. “Oh, that’s right. Today we caught a one-horned deer. Um, we’re planning to give it to Witch as ingredients for cooking.”
A one-horned deer?
Lu Yu had never heard of this animal. Was it a variant of a one-horned deer? Or some other primitive species?
Lu Yu became interested. “Okay, I’ll go take a look later. I’ll talk to Chief about something first.”
Shan Pu said, “Okay,” and ran away with a thud.
Now, only Tai Lie and Lu Yu were left on the scene.
A gentle breeze rustled through the leaves.
Lu Yu felt a little itchy at his nose and scratched it uncomfortably. “Um, just now, someone from the Blackwater Tribe came to deliver a message.”
From just now until now, Tai Lie’s expression hadn’t changed much, except for a slight stiffness when Lu Yu’s head was close to his groin.
Then he remained calm. “What did they say?”
Lu Yu repeated what the person from the Blackwater Tribe had said.
Tai Lie asked, “What do you think?”
Lu Yu pondered for a moment. “I think we should go to the Beast Plains once. With this Great Drift, many tribes will gather, and the three major tribes will also appear. It’s a good opportunity for us to gather information.”
And this time, their strength had increased significantly compared to before, giving them more confidence.
Tai Lie nodded. “Okay.”
Lu Yu nodded too. “Hmm.”
There was a moment of silence in the air.
Lu Yu glanced at him. “Then I’ll go prepare the food for tonight.” He actually wanted to stay with him a little longer, but...
“Okay.” Tai Lie picked up the iron axe, turned around, and continued chopping trees.
—
A giant One-horned deer with a single horn is laying on the ground, its slightly undulating chest indicating that it still had some breath left.
Lu Yu opened the game panel and scanned it.
[One-horned Deer: Land Melee]
[Threat Level: E]
[Extremely Low Drop Rate: Small Strength Potion]
Seeing the drop item column, Lu Yu was stunned.
Strength Potion?
What is this?
Among the dropped items that Lu Yu had encountered, aside from weapons and armor, the most magical were the red pill and the storage ring. It had been a long time since he had seen such obviously extraordinary items.
“Witch, is it ready?” Shan Pu asked. The prey they brought back had to be inspected by Witch before it could be killed.
Lu Yu nodded. “Yes.”
He really wanted to see what this strength potion was, but when he saw the words “extremely low drop rate,” his heart sank. Previously, it was just “low drop rate,” and the drop rate was already very low. Now, with the addition of “extremely low,” it was probably only the luckiest of the lucky who could obtain this treasure...
Clang!
Shan Pu walked over carrying two stone basins in his arms.
First, he put down the large stone basin with his left arm bent, then he placed the small stone basin with his right arm bent. He pushed them both in front of Lu Yu. “Witch, the blood in this small basin is... it’s the heart blood of the One-horned deer. It seems that this kind of blood is better. You can make it separately and eat it...”
Lu Yu was busy flipping the meat patties with a wooden spatula. “It’s all blood, no difference, and I actually don’t... Hmm, alright, just leave it there.”
Shan Pu lingered, “Witch, the meat you’re roasting smells so good. I’ll stay here and smell it for a while.”
“Fine,” Lu Yu handed him the spatula, “Then help me flip the meat. Count to seven each time and flip it.”
“Okay,” Shan Pu took the spatula and flipped the meat while keeping an eye on Lu Yu’s movements.
Lu Yu looked at the two basins of blood, thought for a moment, and decided to use the small basin first. Although making Bloody Prosperity was simple, he hadn’t worked with this ingredient in a long time, so he’d practice with the small basin.
Lu Yu lifted the small basin of deer blood, about to pour it into the hot water, when he noticed something was off.
This blood, why did it seem like...
Lu Yu put down the basin, dipped his finger in the blood, twisted it, and sniffed it under his nose.
Lu Yu’s face changed dramatically.
This blood was...!
Suddenly, he looked up at Shan Pu.
Meeting his gaze, Shan Pu’s body stiffened. He hurriedly lowered his head and continued flipping the meat.
Seeing him like this, Lu Yu couldn’t help but feel suspicious. “Shan Pu, what’s going on with this blood?!”
Shan Pu’s hand stopped flipping the meat slowly. “Witch, what are you... talking about?”
Lu Yu picked up the basin and slammed it down in front of him. “This blood, is it human blood?!”
When it came to animal blood, Lu Yu had also done some research. The blood in his hands wasn’t the usual gamey animal blood; it had the faint taste of iron rust – human blood!
Many thoughts flashed through Lu Yu’s mind.
Did Shan Pu know this was human blood? Whose blood was this? And why did Shan Pu bring it to him? Did the Matai tribe have some strange initiation ritual?
Then he realized he almost made this blood into Bloody Prosperity, and Lu Yu felt nauseated and angry.
“Speak up!”
He couldn’t hide it anymore.
Shan Pu pushed the meat aside to a cooler part of the stone slab, put down the spatula, lowered his head, and said softly, “...Those people said that our blood and flesh can extend their lives...”
“Actually, a bit of blood, our bodies are strong enough, there’s no need...”
Lu Yu was stunned, his pupils shrinking.
Shan Pu lifted the stone basin carefully and said cautiously, “Witch, just have a little bit, okay?”
Lu Yu’s eyes welled up.
—
At night, Lu Yu sat alone on the watchtower.
Doing something a bit artistic.
Watching the stars.
Perhaps because the sky in primitive society hadn’t been polluted, even the stars were especially bright and twinkling.
After watching for a while, someone sat down beside him.
Lu Yu said, “Do you know about that thing?”
Tai Lie said lightly, “No. If I did, I wouldn’t have let Shan Pu cut his arm and bleed.”
Lu Yu lowered his head, “It’s all my fault...”
“I won’t let you drink Shan Pu’s blood,” Tai Lie interrupted him.
Lu Yu was stunned.
Tai Lie’s voice was rough and powerful. “I won’t let you have any connection with anyone else like this. Blood and flesh, you can only drink mine and eat mine.”
Although it sounded terrifying, Lu Yu blushed.
Wasn’t he being serious? How did this person take the opportunity to... become affectionate...
