C26 Part2

After everything was ready, Lu Yu called Mao Pu back regardless of his expression that was saying, "What did you guys do just now?", then they went ahead to the stone city.

The guard who stood beside the wooden door only glanced at their faces, without saying much or stopping them, and the group of Matai people walked in easily.

Compared to Lu Yu, their faces were all colorful and strange, but could be thought as their tribal characteristics.

Finally, when they entered the stone city. Lu Yu was a little surprised by the situation inside, but he also had a clearer understanding of the city.

Although the stone walls of the stone city were a bit rough, they were still quite magnificent, but the inside was very simple. The buildings were all made from grass, even a few wooden houses that was built also had a very casual appearance, just like the phrase, "I am ready to lay down at any time."

But there were quite a few people here.

Shan Pu, who was originally excited, also pouted, the wooden houses they lived in was much better than these.

Mao Pu looked at their expressions and hurriedly said, "This is just the outermost campsite. The powerful ones are all on the inside. Look, that's right there!"

The people looked in the direction he pointed, and through the layers of grass houses, they saw a row of tall black wooden walls.

"Everyone can come to this outermost camp, but the inside is not necessarily the same. The places for the exchange, commisioning and some residences are here in the outer camp. I haven't been inside, so I don't know what's in there..." Speaking of the past, Mao Pu felt a little bit contempt. After all, their Black Water tribe was only a small tribe, and they couldn't even grab this outer layer.

"Oh yes!" Mao Pu was suddenly excited, "There is also a fighting arena!"

Shan Pu was curious, "Where is that?"

Shan Pu pouted, "Isn't it just a fight, what's so exciting."

Mao Pu smiled, "You can choose the fighter you like, put a bet on the fur you have, and if you win, you will get double the bet. I can win a lot of fur with this."

Shan Pu, who had never gambled, scratched his head, still didn't understand.

Lu Yu, "Please take us around for a while."

Mao Pu, "Ok, where do you want to go first?"

Lu Yu pointed to the baskets that were carried behind them, "We have brought a lot of good fur and want to exchange it for something."

Mao Pu suddenly realized, "So you are here for this, then come with me."

Mao Pu led them through the grass houses, "To live here, you have to pay a certain amount of food and fur every day. It is also very safe, because the beasts can't break in here, so the one who live here are basically the important people of the tribe, like one of the tribe leader's son."

Lu Yu asked, "Where will the food and fur be handed to?"

"Of course the three tribes that built this place. Yellow Circle tribe, Clear Water tribe and the Green Sky tribe."

Lu Yu frowned, "Don't this place was built by a witch?"

"Witch? What witch?" Mao Pu waved his hand. "The three big tribes do indeed provide for a witch. I heard that at the beginning, this stone city was also built by the three big tribes for that witch. It might be because of this, that it passed on as the witch who build the city.

"Although I also know that witches are very powerful and they can predict the weather, heal injuries, and communicate with the Gods, but how is it possible to build a stone city, hahaha."

Mao Pu laughed exaggeratedly. After laughing, he turned his head and saw that everyone was looking at him with inexplicable eyes ...

...

They went to the place to exchange supplies.

Compared to the quiet residential area just now, this place was like a vegetable market.

The ground on the left was covered with the corpses of beasts, furs, and wild fruits... The ground on the right was filled with stone tools, such as stone axes or hammers and when they go inside, there are even more kinds of weapons and armors such as stone spear and wooden shield.

Mao Pu, "The stuff here is very complete right! By the way, what do you want to exchange?"

Instead of answering him, Lu Yu asked a question first, "How is the thing exchanged here?"

Mao Pu, "It depends on what the other party wants, you can change it directly if you have it. If you don't, you can change it with fur. You can change almost everything with fur here."

Therefore, fur was a hard currency.

Lu Yu walked to the right and pointed to a stone axe on the ground. He asked with interest, "How much do I need to exchange for this?" It would be nice to exchange some for Tai Li and the others.

The middle-aged man who sat next to him, scratched his hand, and arrogantly said, "Three medium furs."

Mao Pu jumped like he was burned, "You dare to ask for three pieces of medium fur just for a stone axe?! You think we don't understand anything!"

The man acted righteously, "My stone axe is very sharp, not only can it cut down trees, but it can also be used as a weapon." He raised his chin and nodded at Shan Pu who was standing in front of him. "What's the use of being tall and strong, if I hold this stone axe you will cry to find your mother. "

The man had long seen the little bit of fur that was exposed from the back of this group of people. He was certain that these people whom he had never seen, must be from a small tribe. They had stored fur for a long time and wanted to come to the Ten Thousand Beasts plain to exchange things. These people would definitely exchange for these stone axes...

Shan Pu heard him and was anxious to rush up.

Lu Yu grabbed his arm and shook his head slightly.

Shan Pu swallowed his breath, and stopped moving.

Lu Yu said lightly, "Let's go." There was no more interest in his face.

Everyone listened to his words, turned around and left.

The man was dumbfounded and waited for everyone to leave, before he reacted and could not help but curse.

...

Lu Yu and the others continued to walk.

After strolling around, Mao Pu couldn't help but ask, "What exactly are you looking for?"

Lu Yu, "Shell stone, black yao wood, and seabed mud."

Mao Pu froze for a moment and thought for a while, "I haven't heard of the other two, but I have seen someone exchange for this black yao wood and it needs a lot of fur. How much do you want?"

Lu Yu asked, "How long is this piece of wood?"

"It's about as long as the thin-leaf trees commonly found in the woods."

Although the number given on the panel was 300, it shouldn't mean a whole piece of wood, but just a section of the wood piece. If they needed 300 sections of wood piece, then it was estimated that they had to exchange about 30 pieces of wood.

Lu Yu told Mao Pu this number.

"30?!" Mao Pu exclaimed, "What do you want to do with so much wood? Wait, do you even have that many furs to exchange?"

"The ones we brought here was not enough?"

Mao Pu, "It definitely won't be enough, at least four medium furs are needed for each piece."

Shan Pu said indifferently, "If it is not enough, then we just have to go hunting around." Moreover, there is still a lot of furs saved in the Witch's ring, but now he also vaguely understood some things, so he didn't say it.

Mao Pu answered. "The places around here are the hunting grounds of the three major tribes. If we are found by them, then it will be over."

Shan Pu scratched his head, "That..."

"You want the black yao wood?" The man who just sold the stone axes before came from out of nowhere.

Lu Yu raised his eyebrows, "Do you have it?"

The man smirked, "I am not, but I can show you the way."

"Do you know that today in the arena there are tribes who brought a lot of black yao wood, maybe they haven't been won, so you can go try and see."

...

Looked at Lu Yu who was walking away from the back, the man spat on the ground, "Who told you not to buy my stone axe, so now you will know how to die!"

He knew that the tribe with the black yao wood, High Ground tribe, had cultivated an infinitely powerfull warrior, especially trained for fighting purposes. These people were probably not enough for them to punch.

Thinking of this, he quickly packed his things and ran to the arena, preparing to bet his fur, and then find a good position to see how miserable these people would be.

...

Lu Yu and the Matai people walked to the arena and found that it was several times livelier than the place used to exchange supplies.

Shan Pu and the others didn't understand why they were just fighting, but everyone could be this excited.

Lu Yu knew that this was nothing more than a kind of "gambling", but it was still a gamble with a huge profit. A small fight could gain a tribe's accumulations for many days.

On the high stone platform, two powerful warriors were fighting with their bare hands and circled each other. When someone was hit or knocked down, there was a burst of cheers from the people around.

The two of them were bruised and scarred. They also seemed exhausted, but they kept fighting.

Lu Yu frowned, it was more violent than modern boxing.

Mao Pu explained, "This fighter can't bring any weapon or armor. They will win if they can beat their opponent to death, but of course, you can also take the initiative to admit defeat. However, even if this warrior takes the initiative to admit defeat, it is possible that they will be abandoned by their own tribe. At that point, the warrior is as good as useless ... "

He turned to look at Lu Yu and the others, hesitating, "Are you really going to fight?"

After spending a few days with these people, Mao Pu was less afraid of them, let alone hatred. He had no feelings for Jiaofeng, nor would take a revenge for him.

Listening to the loud cheers of the people around, this warm atmosphere aroused the belligerent side in Shan Pu's body. He excitedly said, "Go, go!"

Lu Yu, "Let's first look for the tribe with the black yao wood." Although he felt that these warriors were very violent, but to be honest, the Matai people were even more bloody when fighting the beasts, he didn't feel that the Matai whose physical strength were all against the sky would lose...

Moreover, they still had the red medicine.

When Mao Pu saw that they ignored his concern, he thought that he couldn't do anything to change their mind, so he just stopped talking and took them to a wooden house, "This is the place that was used for tribes who want to fight, they will send someone inside to wait for their turn. "

Lu Yu asked Shan Pu and the others to wait outside, then walked in with Tai Li.

As soon as the door opened, everyone in the room cast their eyes to them. Lu Yu took a step inside and looked around quietly. There were not many people here, only five or six, they all looked ordinary.

When Lu Yu looked at them, these people were also doing the same thing. They first glanced at Lu Yu, and then looked away without hesitation.

But seeing the tall and powerful Tai Li, some people involuntarily scanned him from top to bottom several times.

One of the skinny men had a slightly wretched look in his eyes.

Lu Yu felt a little uncomfortable for some reason, and moved one step to stand in front of Tai Li.

"We are here to fight."

One said lazily, "The overseer went to pee, you..."

"Come here." He hadn't finished speaking, as someone came through the back door of the house.

He tidied his animal skin skirt and looked up to Lu Yu and Tai Li. The others looked at Tai Li with indifferent eyes, it seemed common for him to see people of Tai Li's physique, "You want to participate?"

Seeing Lu Yu nodded, he continued, "My name is Ba Yang. I am the overseer from the Yellow Circle tribe here. Before you fight with others, you must put the things that you have negotiated with each other to me here, it is to avoid someone being wronged at the end the fight."

Lu Yu guessed that there would be such a middleman, and they would come from the major three tribes.

Ba Yang said again, "Okay, let's talk about who you are and what have you brought."

Before these questions came in, Lu Yu already discussed this with Tai Li and calmly said, "We are the Li Yu tribe, who came to the Ten Thousand Beasts plain for the first time."

Lu Yu didn't say what he brought, instead he asked first, "Is anyone here have the black yao wood?"

"Oh?" Ba Yang said with interest. "You also fancy the yao wood from the High Ground tribe?"

Lu Yu explained casually, "We only search for some wood, but I heard that the black yao wood is better than any other wood."

Ba Yang nodded, "The black yao is indeed better than other woods. However, you are late. The people who returned to their tribe just now have entered the arena to fight the High Ground tribe."

Lu Yu frowned slightly.

Ba Yang laughed, "However, you are not without a chance. The High Ground tribe has won four games in a row today. There's a high probability that the wood that you want is still there. You can go to the arena and wait."

...

Lu Yu and Tai Li walked out of the wooden house.

Shan Pu rushed and asked excitedly, "King, Witch, how is it? When will we go to the arena?"

Lu Yu said a few words about what he had heard just now, "So, let's go to the arena to see it first."

The group walked back to the arena, and at this time, the two people on the stage were no longer the ones they saw when they came in.

Everybody around them were still discussing the fight.

"The soldiers of the High Ground tribe are really amazing!"

"Yeah, even the soldiers of the Prosperous Spear tribe can't beat him!"

"I am afraid that only the warriors from the major three tribes can won over him."

"However, they are very powerful and too vicious from the start. The previous few people were tortured, then killed by the abuse..."

On the stone platform, a big, fat-faced warrior was frantically beating the sturdy wheat-colored warrior opposite him.

Lu Yu asked the person next to him, "Excuse me, can you tell me, which tribe's warriors are on the stage?"

This person is kind, "Oh, the fat one is Tian Cheng of the High Ground tribe, and the lean one is Wu Xing of the Prosperous Spear tribe. Ai, Wu Xing is usually very powerful, but today I am afraid..."

Lu Yu looked at the stage.

The warrior called Wu Xing was punched to the ground, his stomach was severely kicked by the opponent's feet. He seemed unwilling to give up and suddenly lunged forward, hugged the other's calf, and pulled back.

Both of them fell down, but before Wu Xing could get up the other party had already climbed on top of him and unilaterally beat his face.

"Enough!" A voice suddenly shouted from the side of the stand.

The crowd spread out on both sides.

A group of people in tiger skin clothes came out, and the tall man standing at the forefront stared at the person across the podium, then said angrily, "My Prosperous Spear tribe admits defeat."

On the opposite side of the podium, a hawk-nosed man secretly cast a look at Tian Cheng on the platform, and then turned his head to put his hand behind his ear, "Wu Li, what are you talking about, it's too noisy, I can't hear it! "

At this time, Tian Cheng, who had received the secret code, no longer tortured his opponent slowly and became fiercer. He went straight to the goal of killing people.

Seeing this situation, Wu Li was anxious, "I said, we admit defeat!"

The man with the hawk-nose still pretended not to hear it.

Wu Li clenched his fists and was about to take people up to grab Wu Xing back, when suddenly a loud roar came through the air and overwhelmed the audience.

"He – said – he – admitted – lost-"

For a time, all the hustle and bustle stopped.

Wu Li took the opportunity to say in a deep voice, "Qiu Guang, we have surrendered, do you want to break the rules?"

Qiu Guang gritted his teeth, but had no choice but to stop the people on the stage.

After giving the order, he turned his head to find out who was shouting so loudly.

As soon as he turned his head, he saw a group of people with painted faces were coming over him.

Qiu Guang frowned, "Who are you?"

Lu Yu went straight to the point, "We are the Li Yu tribe and want to join in the fight with your tribe."

Qiu Guang looked at him with his arms crossed, then said quietly, "What do you have?"

Lu Yu took off the back basket that he carried, reached into it, and pretended to look for a piece of [Tough Grass Armor] that he had put in the ring before.

"This is a piece of armor made of grass unique to our tribe."

"Clothes made of grass?" Someone sneered behind Qiu Guang. "You call it armor? What can it resist, mosquito's bite? Oh, right. Look at all the holes. Even mosquitos still could breach it!"

Hearing his words, the people from the High Ground tribe laughed.

Lu Yu borrowed a stone spear from the people around him, then told Shan Pu to hold the grass armor and proceeded to thrust the stone spear against the clothes.

People from the High Ground tribe slowly stopped laughing and could not help but open their mouths wide. Such a sharp stone spear did not directly penetrate the grass-made clothing, but was instead stuck in those holes!

A gleam of light flashed in Qiu Guang's eyes, but pretending to be calm, he said, "How many of these things that you have?"

Lu Yu was surprised, "How many? Such a good armor, we only have this one. It should be priced with a lot more fur than any wood or stone." He was impatient. "So do you agree or disagree? In fact, we can still find another replacement for the yao wood... "

Qiu Guang also thought about this matter, afraid that Lu Yu would really find a replacement, he said in a hurry, "Fine, I agree to this exchange."

Lu Yu said no more and went to the wooden house to give the grass armor to Ba Yang. Both parties made an agreement in front of him.

"King, Witch, let me go!" Shan Pu said excitedly.

"I'm going." Tai Li said without question.

Shan Pu was not reconciled and wanted to apply for another fight, but was stopped by Tai Li.

Lu Yu pursed his lips, "Do you know that..."

"I know." Tai Li said

This fight was held in front of countless people, so they couldn't use the red medicine, otherwise it would be exposed that they had a witch.

Tai Li stared at him momentarily, his eyes were firm and deep, not only with absolute self-confidence, but also seemed to contain something else.

"Trust me and wait for me."

Lu Yu was stunned, his heart pounding wildly.

A crazy idea faintly popped up in his heart, could it be that Tai Li...
