Chapter 20

Lu Yu had been in this world for a few months, he also already experienced many thrills and fears, so his ability to forcibly stabilize his mind could be said to be good. But this time, he felt that his heart was being squeezed fiercely, as a huge panic hit and made him couldn't care about anything else.

Lu Yu's shout was earth-shattering.

Tai Li frowned because he still could not see him (LY). The stone spear in his hand didn't give in at all and the force made him moved a small step to the left.

Because of this small step, another stone spear that should have pierced straight into his chest penetrated his shoulder.

The man who made this sneak attack to Tai Li was shocked at how quickly he responded, before smiling complacently.

Even if this person could not be killed directly, his shoulder was already injured. Not for long he would definitely fell to the ground in pain and easily be defeated. Speaking of it, fortunately he could avoid killing this person. The leader said that he would like to keep them alive.

In his experiences, no matter how strong a man was, with a condition like that, sooner or later he would definitely became a waste, but he did not expect that the man in front of him was not only weakened, the reaction speed was even becoming faster...

The sharp stone spear pierced into the flesh.

The muscles in Tai Li's body were tense, as his eyes were filled with murderous intent.

He first broke off the stone spear he was holding and then stretched his hand behind to twist the stone spear from his shoulder. Even though a piece of stone was still inserted and made his shoulder bleed, he kept turning around and proceeded to quickly step forward. With a sudden thunder, he tightened his hand on the neck of the man who attacked him before, then snapping it.

Lu Yu overturned Cha Zhe, then ran towards Tai Li. He saw a limp object slip from Tai Li's hand and fell to the ground. It was a corpse with mouth full of white foam, the eyes staring emptily.

Lu Yu paused, holding back the discomfort in his heart, before diverting his vision elsewhere. He anxiously ran to Tai Li, then grabbed his arm to examine his wound.

Although the stone blade was inserted deep, it didn't injure any fatal part. Despite the lingering fear, Lu Yu finally breathed a sigh of relief.

He was about to say something when a stone spear was flying to his side.

Tai Li grabbed Lu Yu and roughly shoved him behind.

"Hide." Leaving these two words, Tai Li returned to the battle of the spear.

Lu Yu stared blankly at his back, "Okay..."

At this time, the game panel suddenly jumped out, showing a line of words.

[Reminder: The progress of the favorability task has reached 90%]

Lu Yu's eyes narrowed, he hurriedly looked at it and found that there was one-sixth more progress in the bar than before.

Suddenly rose a lot, what happened?

Did he do anything intimate with Tai Li just now? Even physical contact between them was only a touch of their arm.

Lu Yu thought about it carefully.

If you had to say that there was an intersection between them, it was only when Tai Li helped him block that spear. But Tai Li often helped him before, and those never increased his favorability.

Could it be that this game panel was in a frantic state, that it considered the act of protecting each other from bleeding and injury an act of intimacy?

Fortunately, he had the red medicine, so it was fine to bleed a little.

Lu Yu was still slandering his own golden finger, when a figure suddenly blocked his sight.

Lu Yu was startled, he forgot about this boy!

He quickly grabbed the person in front of him, "Cha Zhe, what are you doing here?" The stone spear from before should still made him unconscious.

The last time the spear attacked them, Lu Yu already knew what was special from Cha Zhe. Although he was somewhat surprised, he had already seen the metamorphosis (变态) of Matai people. Their injury would also heal automatically, so it was not very strange. Especially after he could made his own little red medicine, this child Cha Zhe was just like an ordinary child in his eyes, so Lu Yu thought that he was even more vulnerable than Shi Tou.

He had explained to Shi Tou before. If there were any danger, remember to pull Cha Zhe together and avoid it. The place where the children hid was clearly quite far from here. So from where did he came from?!

Cha Zhe stared at him, dropped his head, and pursed his lips, "I left something here."

Left something?

After hearing this, Lu Yu was angry, not to mention that the child was picked up by them empty-handed, even if there was something, why did he have to come back to get it at this time.

Lu Yu said, "You--"

"Be careful."

Before Lu Yu finished speaking, Cha Zhe grabbed his arm with one hand, wrapped around his waist, and hugged Lu Yu in his arms.

An intruder carelessly drew an arc from behind Lu Yu, before being slammed to the ground by Cha Zhe.

Lu Yu was held upright, as he looked down at the top of the teenager's black hair and felt that something was wrong.

The young man's movements were strong and his strength was not small. An overbearing posture, just like a protector.

It was reasonable to say that he should feel very safe...

But the problem was, his protector was still a child half of his height.

"It's dangerous here."

Cha Zhe's voice was a little rough, and the heat of his breath could be felt on Lu Yu's shoulder.

Lu Yu, "Oh..."

As Lu Yu's voice fell, there seemed to be a scorching sight from the distance. It made his body felt like being scalded.

Lu Yu's heart shook inexplicably and reacted, he struggled for a while in Cha Zhe's arms, but couldn't not break away.

The weak chicken was being hammered (弱鸡是锤了).

Lu Yu, "You let me go first..."

Cha Zhe had previously avoided contact with other people, so it was hard to hug people like this, he didn't want to let Lu Yu go yet, but at this time they were still in the middle of a battle, which was not very good. So he hesitated for a while and let him go.

Another person, who knew nothing about life and death, ran over to them with a stone spear, but suddenly fell heavily on the ground beside them and made all the stones and gravels scattered.

Lu Yu: ...

Throwing around and playing, right?

Lu Yu turned his head to look at where the corpse (that already rolled his eyes) was coming from, and saw Tai Li, who was tearing people on his way.

The extremely fierce King of Matai, for some reason, carried a strange, soaring anger in his body, and he started to become more ruthless, like he was venting about something.

Lu Yu thought suddenly, the body just now was not thrown by him deliberately, right...

Did he (TL) feel that he (LY) was standing in the way?

Lu Yu looked around, there were chaotic battles happened in his surrounding. The opponent had weapons, so the Matai were more or less injured, but Lu Yu had not seen any major casualties. It made him slightly relieved.

On circumstances like this, he had the worst combat power in the whole tribe. It would already be a good help, if he did not add more to the chaos, but if he ran away right now, he would be caught by someone who was targeting him. It really was useless.

After thinking for a while, Lu Yu walked to the corpse that had just flown over, and pulled out the half stone spear from the corpse's hand and held it across his chest. Then he pulled Cha Zhe to hid in the protective circle that Tai Li made.

After the battle continued for a period of time, fewer people dared to take the initiative to come to Tai Li's side. His surroundings were like Sun Wukong's circle of magic, as the ordinary people did not dare to step in.

Lu Yu raised his head to look at the man's strong back, it wasn't the first time for him seeing Tai Li fought, but every time he saw it, Lu Yu became even more impressed. There were only two words in his mind.

Human weapon.

Putting people like Tai Li into the modern age, even if he obeyed the law and helped a grandmother to cross the road every day, it was estimated that Guo Jia (Chinese strategist) would paid special attention to him. Then would he be a bodyguard? Boxer? Or special force? Athlete? It was up to the sky (the limit is the sky). But in such a primitive society, Lu Yu always felt that Tai Li could have a broader development, just like heroes in troubled times.

...

Compared with the wolves that would not retreat without the call of the wolf king, humans had an instinct to seek advantages and avoid harm.

Jiao Feng saw that the man with murderous aura had taken a spear and once again killed someone, it made him terrified. He couldn't care anymore to take the witch back home and chose to run silently, left his own battlefield behind.

Seeing the battle scene gradually went out of control, he gritted his teeth and led a few people around him to escape that place and quickly fled into the forest.

A soldier looked back and asked anxiously, "Chief, do you want to order for retreat?"

"Retreat, retreat!" Jiao Feng stared at him with bloodshot eyes, "Don't you see the speed of those people's running, we can't run away in a collective retreat!"

The face that usually looked warm, was now extremely distorted. The warrior was too scared to ask any more, and could only rush to the road.

Not long after Jiao Feng fled, the abandoned Black Water tribe people found out that their leader was gone, and it even made some people flinched. No matter what were they doing before, they started to stop their actions and began to run away.

Subconsciously, Shan Pu and the other were going to chase them, but then Lu Yu hurriedly shouted at them, "Don't need to chase those poor bandits!"

Shan Pu: ? ? ?

Lu Yu paused and explained, "Maybe they also prepared an ambush." Anyway, their leader had already ran away.

Lu Yu discovered that the fat man who caught him before seemed to be their leader, but he was gone somehow. He blamed himself for not paying attention to it for a while, they should have caught the leader first. He still had too little experiences.

Lu Yu sighed in his heart, but quickly cheered up again.

"Let's take a break first and check your wounds, if anyone need more red medicines just tell me."

It was no more better than the last time they were attacked, there were more enemies and weapons, so almost every Matai was injured.

Although there were no major casualties, Lu Yu still felt a little solemn. The people who invaded this time only brought piercing weapons such as stone spears. In case they encountered slashing weapons such as swords in the future, it wouldn't be so easy anymore.

Red medicine could indeed heal wounds, but there were still two kinds of incurable.

One, fatal wounds that were incurable, such as the heart being pierced.

Second, the break away type wounds were also incurable, just like when one leg was completely cut off. The red medicine could protect you from death, but it did not allow you to grow a leg again.

Lu Yu secretly thought in his heart, he had to find some beasts that dropped armor, or made some wooden shields by himself. However, Lu Yu felt that the wooden shield was not suitable for Matai people. They all like to beat people with their bare hands, or lifted people up and threw them around. It was best to protect the main parts of the torso...

In addition, he also needed some self-protection means.

But the beasts that dropped these things were all unknown...

While thinking about things in his head, Lu Yu swept his eyes to Tai Li that sat on a stone pier, just about to pull out a piece of the stone spear from his shoulder.

"Wait a minute!" Lu Yu trotted over, "Let me help you."

This would definitely increase Tai Li's favorability! The progress bar was not that poor, but it could still increase a little bit.

Before Tai Li could refuse, Lu Yu already flashed behind him.

He took the stick that was exposed and swallowed, "I'm going to pull it!"

Tai Li answered lightly, "Okay."

Lu Yu held his shoulder with his left hand and pulled with his right hand.

Blood spewed out.

Lu Yu was taken aback, and took out a red medicine in a hurry and handed it to him, "Eat, quickly!"

Tai Li glanced at the pill on his palm, pursed his lips, and said nothing.

Lu Yu: Brother, your blood will be drained!

Not waiting for his reaction, Lu Yu squeezed the pill, and with his other hand holding the jaw of the occasionally angry King of Matai, then proceeded to politely put the pill into his mouth.

This time Tai Li was quite cooperative. It went in smoothly.

Lu Yu felt like an old father who was so happy to feed his bear child.

After completing the task, when the finger came out, he accidentally touched a warm and soft thing.

It was the tongue...

Lu Yu stiffened, and at the same time felt Tai Li's gaze fell on him suddenly.

Did he (TL) think that his (LY) hands were dirty?

Lu Yu withdrew his hand and smiled embarrassedly, "Just rinse your mouth with water..."

Before the words were finished, the game panel jumped out and two lines appeared.
