“How is that possible?” Shan Pu was stunned. “Can such a good thing happen?”
He looked at Tai Lie. “Chief, can you guess?”
Tai Lie shook his head. “I don’t know.”
Huh?
He doesn’t know?
Lu Yu thought he had already figured out his plan, which is why he agreed to the Gao Hui tribe’s request for another match. “Then how come you...”
Tai Lie said calmly, “I trust you, there must be a reason.”
That’s what he said...
But just based on a glance, he entrusted the decision to him so confidently. This was a duel, and one could easily get hurt with just a little carelessness, even if one was confident...
Lu Yu suddenly felt like his throat was choked, unable to speak.@@@@
It’s not that he’s being melodramatic.
It’s just that in modern times, he really hasn’t encountered someone he can completely trust, someone who believes that he won’t harm him.
It might also be because he’s too focused on cooking, or maybe because modern networking has taken up his time for making friends outside.
But all in all, he’s extremely grateful that he met the Matai people at the beginning.
Lu Yu smiled, “There is indeed a reason, and that is—” Before he could finish his sentence, he was interrupted.
“Hey! Brothers!”
Wu Li waved his hand and walked over with his people, saying seriously, “Are you really going to have another match with Qiu Guang and his group?”
Lu Yu nodded, “Yes.”
Wu Li frowned, “I heard them going to find reinforcements just now...”
“What reinforcements?”
Wu Li’s expression became serious, “You don’t know, although Qiu Guang is the Chief of the Gao Hui tribe, the one with real power and influence in the Gao Hui tribe is his brother. However, his brother loves fighting, especially bloody fights. He’s basically hunting outside all day. He has been on the duel platform twice, but he didn’t wait for the opponent to concede, he just beat them to death. Later, no tribe was willing to duel with him, so he never appeared on the duel platform again.”
He glanced at Tai Lie, “This brother is indeed very powerful, but you should still be careful.”
After hearing his words, Lu Yu didn’t feel as nervous as before. He just swept the area with the game panel earlier, and the people here are just ordinary people, not on the same level as the Matai people in terms of physical fitness.
Moreover, Tai Lie didn’t even use his full strength just now.
Lu Yu expressed his gratitude, “Thank you for letting us know.”
On the duel arena.
Facing Tai Lie was a very dark man, tall and thin, at first glance, giving a very awkward feeling, just like a piece of burnt wood.
The man arrogantly said, “So it’s you who defeated Tian Cheng?”
Tai Lie remained silent.
“Hmph.” The man snorted coldly, “Don’t think defeating someone like Tian Cheng is impressive, he’s just a fat guy with a bit more strength.”
The man’s face darkened, “I’m different, I’ll make you die a miserable death.”
Qiu Guang vigorously cheered for his brother from the sidelines, “Brother, kill him! Get our obsidian back!”
The other members of the Gao Hui tribe behind him also shouted loudly.
“Deputy Chief, go!!”
“Tear him apart!!”
“Don’t let him off easy!!”
“Break his arms and legs!!”
—
Lu Yu, usually calm, couldn’t help but bristle at this moment.
What’s all this yelling about, who can’t do that!
Let me show you something new!
Lu Yu reached into his back basket, took out a leaf as large as a fan from the ring, this kind of leaf was hard in texture, like modern hard-shell paper. He rolled the leaf into a big horn speaker.
Holding up the manmade speaker, he roared, “Tai Lie!! Get him! Beat him until his mother doesn’t recognize him!!”
—
Lu Yu and the others arrived at the wooden house and handed over two leaves.
The supervisor, Ba Yang, didn’t check them and just took them with a smile. “I’ll take you to get the obsidian.”
Ba Yang led them to a wooden fence where someone was on guard, pointing to the neatly arranged thirty-five black woods inside and said, “These are the obsidian woods you won, a total of thirty-five. You can count them.”
Lu Yu quickly counted, and it was correct. They only needed thirty on the game panel, so there were five extra.
Ba Yang said, “Right, since you have fewer people, if you can’t carry them, you can go to the commission camp and find some slaves to help you.”
Lu Yu smiled, “No need, although our tribe doesn’t have much else, we do have strong people.”
With that, Shan Pu and the others had already walked towards the pile of wood. In pairs, they effortlessly lifted the thirty or so pieces of wood.
A hint of surprise flashed in Ba Yang’s eyes as he praised, “You guys are really strong, haha.”
Lu Yu politely smiled, exchanged a few words, and then left with Tai Lie and the others.
When they made the appointment, Lu Yu and the others had already seen Qiu Guang’s wooden hut, so they were heading in that direction.
Unexpectedly, halfway there, they ran into someone.
This person was the one who had stared at Tai Lie with lewd eyes when Lu Yu and Tai Lie first entered the wooden hut.
This person’s eyes were cloudy, his body was skinny to the point of just bones, looking completely depleted.
“Hello there, I heard you defeated the Gao Hui tribe?” The thin weak man said as his eyes gave Tai Lie a disgusting look.
Lu Yu instantly flared up, suppressing his anger and said, “Excuse us, please step aside, we have something to do.”
“Don’t be so angry,” the thin weak man shrugged, “I’m from the Qu Tu tribe, and I’m interested in the warrior from your tribe. If you want something...”
Before Shan Pu and the others could explode on the spot, Lu Yu, the Witch, was already so angry he wanted to pick up an oil pan and pour it over the man’s head.
Lu Yu didn’t know why he was so angry.
This person definitely mistook Tai Lie for an ordinary warrior from their tribe because so far, all communication with the outside world had been through Lu Yu, and he was the one making decisions.
This kind of trading for warriors with goods, Mao Pu had mentioned it to them before. If a tribe fancied a standout warrior from another tribe in the arena, they would privately contact them. Usually, even if they didn’t trade, nothing would happen because it was a very normal thing.
Normal... my foot!
Lu Yu opened his mouth, but although he sometimes felt hot-headed, he had never actually cursed at anyone. Feeling at a loss with righteous anger, Tai Lie grabbed his arm.
“Let’s go.”
Lu Yu glanced at him, angrily swallowing his words.
—
Walking along the path, Shan Pu suddenly clapped his hands and said, “I know!”
Lu Yu, still angry, asked, “What do you know?”
“That person just now...” Shan Pu paused halfway through his sentence, hesitating whether he should tell the pure-hearted chef about this matter.
Lu Yu, annoyed, said, “What about him? He’s ugly and?”
Shan Pu scratched his head, “That person seems to be a broken man...”
Upon hearing those words, Tai Lie’s body stiffened.
Lu Yu furrowed his brows slightly, “What’s a broken man?” Another new term?
Shan Pu hesitated, “You really don’t know anything, Witch. A broken man is... you know... men with men... anyway, they’re a type of people who shouldn’t exist!”
He explained intermittently, and somehow Lu Yu understood. So, the broken man he mentioned is a homosexual!
Just as Lu Yu’s anger was subsiding, it flared up again, “So what if he’s a broken man? What’s the difference between them and regular people? They are made of flesh and blood too. What gives you the right to say they shouldn’t exist?!”
Shan Pu was stunned, “Huh?”
Lu Yu thought that although this primitive society was bloody and violent, at least it didn’t have all sorts of discrimination.
At least the usually egalitarian Matai wouldn’t have it. He didn’t expect that while they might not be good at many things, they were quite “progressive” in this aspect.
For some reason, Lu Yu was infuriated and blurted out, “What if I’m a broken man?! Would you also think I shouldn’t exist?!”
Shan Pu and the others: ?!?!
Tai Lie suddenly stopped and stared at Lu Yu like a hawk, “What did you say you are?”
Lu Yu thought that since he couldn’t find a girl to marry here anyway, and he was confident they wouldn’t actually abandon him, pretending to be gay and mocking these Matai people’s “backward” ideas was no big deal.
So he stood tall, confidently declaring, “I am a broken man. What are you going to do about it?”
