Chapter 25

After counting the people brought back from the Black Water tribe, there were a total of 502 people, with 353 adult males, 133 adult females and 16 children.

It had to be said that the number of children was less than what had Lu Yu estimated. It could be that the environment was not that good, resulting in a low survival rate for the newborn.

These people were basically slaves. Even though, aside from the warriors who fled, there were still many people from the Black Water tribe, Lu Yu wouldn't take any of them.

Because he had to consider the "human's heart". These slaves who had been oppressed for a long time, let alone about anything else, on their hearts there had to be some kind of rejections towards the Black Water tribe. After all, from among them many had been killed by the Black Water tribe.

No matter how much manpower was needed, Lu Yu would not take the risk.

Regarding the place where they were resettled, Lu Yu already inspected it. It was in a basin-like place behind their village. The entrance of the basin was also not far from the Matai Village.

The land was neither too big nor too small. Lu Yu had also considered it when choosing the location for the Matai village before, but at the time he was afraid that the village would be continuously upgraded and took up more land, so he gave up this place.

But there was no problem at all, it was enough to accommodate these hundreds of people.

After taking these people to the place, Lu Yu said to them, "This is the place. Can any of you build houses?"

A few seconds later, more than a dozen men raised their hands, and one of them said, "We can only build ordinary grass houses, the few wooden houses on the Black Water tribe were built by the people who were invited by Jiao Feng from Ten Thousands Beasts plain."

Ten Thousand Beasts plain? Where was it?

Lu Yu had some doubts, but now was not the time to ask this, "Then just build a hut, a few of you will build it, while the others will help you to collect the materials you need, let's start with it, okay?"

In fact, it was originally said that Lu Yu just needed to find a place for them to settle. About how to live, where to live, he didn't need to take care about it. It was just that these people, who had been slaves all year round, were used to listening to orders. Just like scattered sand, without any organizational leadership, so Lu Yu had to act as a commander for a while.

The man who replied just now, "Yes!"

Others also echoed.

Lu Yu pondered for a while, "Okay, that's it, women are responsible for collecting fruits, men are responsible for building houses, and for the children..."

Lu Yu turned his head and asked people to call for Shi Tou, patted him on the shoulder, then turned his head to say to everyone, "For children, follow this boy to collect the materials. When you are done, you can come to us and exchange it for the meat."

They really didn't lack any meat right now, the leopards they hunted last time were still in Lu Yu's ring, they also still had the guidance function.

The most important point of the guidance system was not to give directions to the dropped items, but to "find the beasts". In this era of food shortage, it was a crucial information to find a suitable beast group that could be hunted.

Lu Yu could roughly determine the beast's class according to the dificulty level of the beast, and organized a suitable team for hunting. With the protection of the red medicine, the Matai people could hunt a few thousand pounds of meat at a time without any problem.

Hearing that Lu Yu once again mentioned about the meat exchange, everyone still couldn't believe it and asked carefully, "Really, how could there be such a good thing..."

Lu Yu just laughed, "You will believe it when you come to exchange."

After he finished speaking, he suddenly remembered something, "By the way, do you know why the Black Water tribe suddenly collected so much food and wood today?"

Everyone looked at each other, they didn't know.

A thin boy suddenly raised his hand and stammered, "I, I know!"

Lu Yu approached him and said gently, "Can you tell me?"

Shu Tai's body was dirty, thin like a skeleton. Looking at a clean young man in front of him, wearing a deer leather skirt that was neat and good-looking, he felt somewhat embarrassed and pulled his tattered animal skin skirt, then whispered, " When I went to collect fruits today, I heard some people saying that these things are about to be sent to the Ten Thousand Beasts plain, it was about hiring someone from there. "

It was Ten Thousand Beasts plain again...

Lu Yu frowned, "Did you hear what they planned to do?"

Shu Tai shook his head, looking a little ashamed, "I, I didn't hear it."

Lu Yu touched his messy head, "It's okay."

He would temporarily let go of this.

After the general arrangement, the crowd started to work hard.

Maybe because of the young man's attitude towards them was very gentle, or maybe because what he said before was truly being realized step by step, so that the people who were originally only holding the slightest expectation, felt that there was a small flame in their heart blazing like a firewood. Made them still working hard even when it was already dark.

Anyway, who didn't want to live well with dignity?

...

Lu Yu walked to the village while muttering to himself, "Is it possible that they ask for reinforcement to attack us? Where is that Ten Thousand Beasts plain?"

"Witch, don't you know about the Ten Thousand Beasts plain?" Xia Cao, who had been with him all this time, suddenly asked when she heard his words.

Lu Yu froze for a moment and raised his head, "You know about it?" Why he never heard of them mentioning it.

"I know," Xia Cao nodded. "That's a very majestic stone city."

Stone city?

Lu Yu asked in surprise, "Where is it? Who built it? Is it a big tribe?"

"It's a little far from us, but I don't know where exactly the location is," Xia Cao hesitated. "As for who built it, I heard that it was built by a very powerful witch. There are many large tribes settled in the Ten Thousand Beasts plain, where you can exchange supplies, buying slaves and so on. I don't know about the specific, because our king at the time said that there were a lot dubious activities going on there, so we were not allowed to go... "

Hearing her words, Lu Yu's eyes widened a little.

Large scale constructions, a living society, trade...

It was a basic city model already.

How could it develop to this extent, was this still the primitive society he knew...

Was he simply traveling through the time and space of a parallel universe? Or, in addition to him, there were also others who traversed and interfered with the process of social development here.

Lu Yu frowned slightly. If there were really other transmigrators here, would they also have the golden finger like the game panel? Or was it something else? What impact would this person bring to him and the Matai...

"Witch, what's the matter with you?" Xia Cao asked him with worry when he did not speak for a long time, and his face was a bit ugly.

Lu Yu recovered, then with a comforting tone said, "It's okay, there's nothing."

Forget it, there's no need to think about these useless things.

Just develop their village well first. As long as they are strong, they will not afraid of any danger!

What's good about a stone city, they will have a war fortress in the future!

For a while, Lu Yu ignited his fighting spirit again. This was just his character. In the face of danger, he would not be afraid and scared, he would never let these emotions controlling him, it would only make him become more though.

After regaining his fighting spirit, Lu Yu quickly made plans for himself.

They should slowly develop the basin first, not only those people could help them collect materials, but after their relationship was strengthened, he could also find a suitable situation to start arming them.

On the Matai side, Lu Yu could see that although the Matai people were immensely powerful with nonhuman like physical qualities, their combat skills were still not good enough, but Lu Yu couldn't help much in this regard, and should leave the problem in Tai Li's hands. Tai Li was naturally keen on fighting. Skills were also something that people create, so if others could, he thought that Tai Li could do it too.

For himself, besides observing the basin's progress, the most important thing was to upgrade the game panel and their village.

There was no urgent business to be worried about the village for now, but for the panel...

Lu Yu thought about the time when he found out that protection from injury could increase his favorability with Tai Li, then what else could he do in this regard...

Hmm... Did he need to push Tai Li into the beast den, then let him rescue the man, or it was better for him to enter the beast den and let the man come to rescue him?

Lu Yu scratched his chin. If he pushed Tai Li into an ordinary beast den, then it could be estimated that he would kill all the beasts there, maybe he should sacrifice himself?

There was no need to find a difficult beast. Just went for a wolf... No, a wild dog... It seemed that a wild lamb was more suitable...

At this time, he didn't even think about what kind of riot, he would cause for the Matai tribe if he really were injured.

...

Before Lu Yu could figure out how to let himself "fall into the sheep's mouth," he discovered new problems.

On the other side of the basin, after the grass huts were built one after another, besides looking for food, these people also had free time to collect some materials. They happily did it because one, this was their agreement with Lu Yu, and two, because they saw that the children really could use those materials to exchange for meat, it made all their eyes red.

So, Lu Yu could quickly collect all the materials needed.

However, in addition to these, several new materials had been added to the requirements.

[Shell Stone 0/3000]

[Black Yao Wood 0/300]

[Seabed Green Mud 0/3000]

After seeing this, Lu Yu was not very worried. Although he had never heard of them, he thought that the locals such as the Matai should know about it, but after asking around, he found out that they did not even know what these things were.

Lu Yu was dumbfounded.

He hadn't given up yet and went to the basin to ask, but the people there also shook their heads one after another.

They hadn't heard of it. Where could they find it?!

Just as he was about to despair, an old man suddenly shivered a word.

"Maybe, it can be found in the Ten Thousand Beasts plain."

Lu Yu hurriedly asked, "Have you seen these things, old man?"

The old man said, "The tribe I've been in before, had some people who went to the Ten Thousand Beasts Plain to exchange for some black yao wood, which is a kind of black and very hard wood. As for the shell stone, I think, we can also find it there. After all, the place was not far from the Big Drift, and the Ten Thousand Beasts plain is just at the mouth of the sea, when the sea water will rush up maybe... "

Lu Yu's head was full of question marks, "Old man, can I ask what is the Big Drift?"

The old man gave him a puzzled look, "You don't know the Big Drift?"

Looking at Lu Yu's blank expression, the old man kindly explained, "Every few years, this vast piece of land where we are at, will drift once and border the land next to it."

"Ai, I don't know what kind of strange tribes will we come across when the time come..."

? ? ? ! ! !

Drifting? Border? What were you talking about??

Lu Yu's face was stunned x10

...

After thinking about it, Lu Yu finally accepted the fact that the land under his feet had "long legs that could run ".

At night, sitting alone in his room, he looked at the game panel and struggled for a long time, and finally thought helplessly.

This Ten Thousand Beasts plain, it seemed they needed to go there...
