Chapter 32

This time, there were more characters on the panel.

[Low-level training ground function has been activated]

[Training ground mode: Combat Training Ground/ Skills Training Ground]

[View training items]

[Training ground scene: Physical Training ground/ Subconscious Training ground]

[This function has been connected to the home system, the physical training ground can be optionally placed]

[Caution! The training level of the Subconscious Training Ground is still too low, so please choose carefully]

Lu Yu's heart was beating wildly.

Although the panel was still the same as usual, with no further explanation, Lu Yu could estimate what the new function was after looking at these few lines.

It was this kind of "advancement" that they needed the most now.

With this new function, Tai Li and the others fighting skill could be improved, which at the same time also enhanced the quality of their basic life skills.

Even for Lu Yu himself, this function could help him find a training method that suited him better, so he could make himself stronger.

"What are you laughing at?" A deep voice sounded from the top of his head.

Lu Yu raised his head, with a smile on his face just like he had picked up a baby, and subconsciously said, "Nothing.. Hey your hand!"

He looked at Tai Li's bloody palms, frowned and asked, "Where are the pills? Didn't you take them?"

Every time the Matai went out to hunt or something, Lu Yu would give them the red medicine pills, so that they could place it at the base of their tongue, or stuffed it in the gap of their animal skin skirt, so they could have it when they needed it.

Tai Li glanced at his hand, then put it down casually, "It was only a small injury, no need for medicine."

With good physical fitness and body that couldn't feel pain, Matai people were really careless about their body.

Lu Yu tried to endure it, but after all he still couldn't hold it back. He then sighed and said helplessly, "Then you have to bandage the wound. Do you want to let the blood flow just like that?"

An inexplicable hint flashed in Tai Li's eyes, as he said lightly to Lu Yu's face, "I won't."

Lu Yu: ...I knew it.

Lu Yu reluctantly took out a slender soft leaf from his ring, "Give me your hand."

Tai Li, who just said it was a minor injury, stretched out his hand without hesitation.

Lu Yu lowered his head and carefully covered his wound with the leaf.

Tai Li stared at the top of Lu Yu's hair and smiled lightly, just like a wisp of the wind.

Lu Yu's face suddenly turned red for some reason, 'This man!' He then proceeded to press angrily on the man's wound.

Tai Li's face didn't change at all, he only lowered his eyes, and said seriously, "I'm not afraid of pain, you can press it as you want."

Lu Yu's face suddenly became even redder, just like a rose.

Damn it, I forgot it!

Was his brain confused? He clearly remembered that this person couldn't feel any pain just a moment ago, and now he suddenly did such a stupid thing...

Lu Yu fastened the leaf quickly, took a step back abruptly, then turned his head, "Okay! This is very simple, you have to do it by yourself next time!"

After speaking, he turned and left without waiting for the other man's reaction.

Tai Li looked at his flustered back and slowly closed his carefully bandaged hand.

After leaving Tai Li by himself, Lu Yu went to take a look at the archer who was still lying on the ground and yelling under Shan Pu's care, then he calmly asked, "Are you from the High Ground tribe?"

The archer stiffened and did not speak, but there was an extremely guilty expression on his face.

Shan Pu said loudly, "No need to ask, they must be the High Ground tribe people!"

Lu Yu nodded and stopped asking.

***

Lu Yu and the others returned to the Ten Thousand Beast plain with the captured bows and arrows.

As soon as they entered the city and hadn't gone so far, Shan Pu suddenly said, "That man seems to be the leader of the High Ground tribe!"

Lu Yu followed his fingers and as expected, there he could see Qiu Guang were walking back and forth, looking very anxious.

Lu Yu squinted his eyes and was about to speak, when from next to him Tai Li said, "Shan Pu, give me a bow and arrow."

Shan Pu quickly handed him one from the bows and arrows he was carrying.

Lu Yu was puzzled, "You can use bows and arrows? No, wait, what do you want to use it for?"

Tai Li answered indifferently, "Kill him."

As he said that, he put the arrow on the wooden bow, raised the bow, and pulled it away towards Qiu Guang in the distance.

Shan Pu also explained it slowly to Lu Yu, "The king can use bows and arrows, because our tribe used to have them before. Both the King and Xia Cao even can use them very well! It's just that none of us know how to make those weapons..."

"Huh? Xia Cao can also use it?" Lu Yu suddenly realized, "No wonder she... Hey, no, it's not the time to talk about this, Tai Li, wait a minute!"

Tai Li turned his head, "What?"

Lu Yu was afraid that he would really shoot the arrow to kill Qiu Guang, so he hurriedly grabbed Tai Li's arm, "It's not that I'm not agree with you killing him, but fighting is not allowed in this stone city. Did you forget?"

Tai Li lowered his head, then glanced at Lu Yu's hand on his bicep.

Feeling Tai Li's stares, Lu Yu hurriedly retracted his hand as if being scalded by the fire.

Tai Li, "I see."

Lu Yu nodded, then when he saw that Tai Li still raising the bow, he didn't stop him (TL) again, because Lu Yu knew that Tai Li already remembered not to kill in the stone city.

Tai Li proceeded to aim his arrow at Qiu Guang.

On the other side, Qiu Guang also spotted Lu Yu and the others. At first he only showed a shocked expression of "You guys really came back alive!", but then he soon discovered that Tai Li was actually holding a bow and arrow at him. The sight made him frightened and jumped.

Then he quickly reminded with the stone city's rules, so with his hands on his hip, he shouted, "This is the Ten Thousand Beasts plain! If you dare to hurt me, you will be the one who's dead!"

Tai Li moved the arrow up a bit.

Looking at it, Qiu Guang quietly breathed a sigh of relief, but before he could ridicule the other side, he saw that the arrow was unleashed, and the direction was right above his head.

Qiu Guang looked up suspiciously and as soon as he looked up, a big black shadow fell on his face.

Qiu Guang: ! ! !

"What!"

He grabbed it to his face and took down the black thing to see it better, it turned out to be a black eagle.

The eagle was already death, with the arrow pierced through its body fiercely, and the bright red blood flowed through Qiu Guang's hand.

Lu Yu and Tai Li then walked over, until Tai Li said indifferently in Qiu Quang's ear, "If there is another time, you'll be just like this eagle."

Qiu Guang looked at Tai Li through the corner of his eyes, his body still shuddered unconsciously. He couldn't even speak until Tai Li and the others walked away from him.

After the Matai left, the people from the High Ground tribe stepped forward and said cautiously, "Chief..."

Qiu Guang's eyes fell, "Send someone to the woods to find the corpse."

***

Lu Yu and the others returned to the wooden house with their full harvest, then as soon as they approached the gate, they saw all kinds of preys in the clearing.

"King, you are back!" The Matai and Mao Pu who stayed behind rushed over happily.

The Matai then told them, "Many people brought their prey today..." But, before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by someone from behind him.

"Hmph, you finally came back, I already waited for so long." Yin He crossed his arms and snorted angrily.

Lu Yu only smiled and walked in.

About a dozen of people also brought their prey. There were many kinds of it, with lions and tigers that were relatively small, and the blue rhino that was pretty big.

Yin He pointed out to Lu Yu about the blue rhino, so while raising his chin, he said proudly, "How about it, you haven't seen it do you? The blue rhino is very difficult to hunt!"

Lu Yu, "It is very difficult to hunt." For ordinary people, this kind of prey could even be considered quite rare.

Yin He, "So, when will you give me my barbecue?!"

Lu Yu, "As I said before, I'll just take care of it for you. If you want to eat it, you have to take it back and roast it yourself. But I can guarantee, that the taste will be similar to the meat you ate yesterday."

Lu Yu said again, "But before processing it, I need to check for the meat quality first. If it is good, then you take it back, skin it, and wash it in pieces. After that, bring it back to me for the processing."

Hearing Lu Yu's instruction, Yin He frowned, "Why is it so troublesome?"

Lu Yu sternly emphasized, "Of course, do you think it's that easy to eat delicious barbecues? If you agree with my way, I'll take your prey for the inspection now."

Yin He curled his lips, but could only give in, "Okay."

The others who were also waiting, asked anxiously, "What about us, what about us?"

Hearing them, Lu Yu only laughed, "Don't worry, everyone, come one by one. I'll check it for you, it won't be long."

After that, Lu Yu asked the Matai people to move the blue rhino into the wooden house. When Lu Yu opened the panel and examined it, some information appeared in front of him.

[Blue Rhino: Land Melee]

[Difficulty Level: B]

[Drop: C-grade horn bow]

It's a weapon!

Lu Yu sighed, then anxiously asked Shan Pu to give the rhino a final blow.

Pata*, a golden treasure chest appeared before his eyes.

*Sfx of something fall

There is it!

Lu Yu's heart was overjoyed.

What made him happy was not only because he could obtain the treasure, but also because of his faint speculation was proven.

He had a conjecture that the drop rate of treasures from the beasts in the same area would gradually decrease, so the drop rate of treasures retrieved for the first time by prey in different areas would be very high.

That's why, Lu Yu wanted to use this method to verify. Now it seemed that it was very likely to be correct.

Lu Yu took the dead blue rhino out and said to Yin He, "After being inspected, this rhino is of good quality. You can bring it back and clean it up, then bring it back to me." Without waiting for the other man's reaction, Lu Yu already turned his head and shouted loudly, "Next!"

***

In the end, seven treasure chests were dropped from these dozen prey, which almost verified Lu Yu's speculation. It seemed that they needed to go a little further when hunting.

In addition to the horn bow, they also got three weapons and three armors.

Actually, Lu Yu already thought about searching for another storage ring, because his current one would eventually run out of space. Unfortunately, only mammoths that could drop it.

After Yin He and the others brought the meat back to him, Lu Yu used the already prepared seasoning to coat the meat.

This was his exclusive barbecue sauce, so as long as these people didn't char the meat, it would definitely come out delicious.

In the evening, except for Mao Pu who had gone to bed, all the Matai people sat around the bonfire and talked quietly. There were also two Matais standing guard not far away from them.

Shan Pu spoke first, "King, Witch, we have got all the supplies, when shall we go back?"

Also counted the time when they were on the road, it was already six full days that they had been out of their small village. It gave Shan Pu a strange feeling, because before this he had never been gone out of the tribe for so long.

Lu Yu teased him, "Do you miss Zhi Chun already?"

This girl named Zhi Chun was the one which Shan Pu liked, but this girl hadn't promised to marry him yet. Shan Pu could only scratch his head in embarrassment, "Not only her, but also Lian Shun and Xia Cao, everyone must be waiting for us to come back quickly."

Lu Yu smiled, actually he already thought about it too. The Matai people, even each one of them had different personalities, but they were all still very good people.

So, even though according to his idea, they would stay here for another two days to get more treasure chests, Lu Yu also realized that they had gone out for such a long time. He couldn't help but felt a little worried about the others situation, thus it would be good to go back sooner.

But there was still one thing...

Lu Yu glanced at Tai Li.

Shan Pu and the others didn't know that they actually came here this time, not just to search for materials, but also to inquire about those people who attacked them back then.

Lu Yu then asked Tai Li, "Have you found anything?"

He knew that Tai Li should have observed everyone they met in these past two days, but Tai Li only shook his head and said dully, "No."

Shan Pu was full of question marks, "What is it?"

Lu Yu decided not to tell him first, because for him Shan Pu was still a bit impetuous, and Tai Li hadn't found anything now, so it was useless to tell him anyway.

"It's nothing," Lu Yu answered Shan Pu, then suddenly remembered about something, so he turned to look at Tai Li, "Do you want to go to the trading area tomorrow, I want to exchange the rest of the fur for some stone and bone tools, and also to ask that overseer..."

Maybe the overseer who had collected a lot of information would know about something, so they better tried to ask first...

Tai Li looked at Lu Yu that blinked his eyes, as if trying to discretely convey this information to him.

Shan Pu tilted his head and stared at Lu Yu, "Witch, why do your eyes twitched?"

Lu Yu: ...

You probably already reached a thousand years old, but still can't look at the situation...

Watching Lu Yu's depressed look, Tai Li relaxed a little, "Okay." Then he added, "After getting what you want, we will return to the village."

Shan Pu cheered.

***

That night, Lu Yu laid on the ground, then opened the game panel. After clicking on the [Low level training ground] and selected items to view, he found that there were still not many items available to be used. It should be because this new feature was still low-level.

At the moment, the features that were available to them at the [Combat Training Ground] included basic military training and simple scenario simulation.

For the [Skills Training Ground], it had basic weapon and armor manufacturing, also basic living equipment manufacturing.

Lu Yu thought for a while and decided to use the [Physical Training Ground] first, for Tai Li and the others, after looking at the [Subconscious Training Ground] which was not that suitable for now.

If possible, he also considered to place the [Skills Training Ground] at the Basin, so those people there could learn from it.

After reading the brief introduction, Lu Yu was tickled to click [Start Training] to see what it was like, but he then thought that they were still outside after all.

Forget it, don't worry about it these next few days, it's better to go back to their village first before looking at it again.

The next day, Lu Yu and the others rushed to the trading area early in the morning.

Before they went in, Lu Yu said to Shan Pu and the others, "Go and help me exchange for the stone and bone tools I just mentioned yesterday. The King and I need to do something first."

Shan Pu still wanted to ask about it, but suddenly being pulled by Le Shui, when he looked back at the other man, he understood then answered obediently, "Okay, we will go first."

Lu Yu nodded and walked towards the overseer with Tai Li.

This overseer was actually a kind old man, who also looked very approachable.

However, Lu Yu would not relax his vigilance. After all, he was still the man that was selected by the three major tribes to supervise this place.

As soon as the old man saw them, he cheerfully greeted them, "Why are you here again? Do you need to find something?"

Lu Yu also smiled, "No, we already found the things we need, but we still want to ask you about something."

Old man, "What's the matter?"

Lu Yu sighed, "Actually, about ten years ago, there was a tribe named Zhou Fang who saved my father's life. My father's body was better after lying down for a few months. He wants to thank them for it, but unfortunately he doesn't know the location of this Zhou Fang tribe. The land was so vast, so my father died before he could find it. He gave me this task before his death, but I don't even know what those people looked like. So if it's not inconvenient for you, can you tell us about this Zhou Fang tribe?"

Lu Yu knew that he would definitely not be able to directly inquire about the incident ten years ago, so he could only ask with this kind of roundabout way.

Tai Li had said to him before, that the Matai already went back to their old tribe to search for their attacker, but when they got there, they found that the village was already abandoned and all the people there had disappeared...

"Zhou Fang?" The old man frowned.

Lu Yu observed every expression that the man made, but the overseer only thought for a while, before shaking his head, "I haven't heard of this little tribe. I'm sorry, I can't help you." His expression was normal, just like he didn't know about it at all.

Lu Yu seemed to be sorry, "There's no way to find them then, just forget it, thank you for your answer."

After speaking, he simply went out with Tai Li.

When he reached a corner with no people around, Lu Yu's expression suddenly changed. He tugged Tai Li's arm and whispered, "That person lied."

Tai Li furrowed his eyebrows, "How?"

Lu Yu solemnly said, "I could see that he used all his strength to maintain a calm expression on his face. Anyway, even by ignoring his body language, there's a fact that I never said whether the Zhou Fang tribe was big or small, but this person blurted out 'this small tribe', indicating that he surely knew about the Zhou Fang tribe."

When Tai Li heard the words, his body began to soar.

Lu Yu raised his head and said worriedly, "Tai Li, let's go home first and make plans for this matter."

The overseer was a member of the major three tribes. His act of covering the Zhou Fang tribe should have something to do with the three tribes. If this was the case, it would be too dangerous for them to stay here. Revenge could not be just done easily, they must be fully prepared for anything first.

Tai Li glanced at him, while suppressing the surging emotions in his heart.

"Okay." Tai Li said solemnly.

When Shan Pu and the others returned from exchanging things, the group went back to the wooden house, packed up the black yao wood, and prepared to leave.

Lu Yu was thinking about what they would happen to the wooden house after they left, but Mao Pu suddenly laughed and said, "If you don't mind, I can help you to look after at the house."

Lu Yu, "Aren't you going back with us?"

Mao Pu answered, "The Big Drift will happen ten days from now and I have never seen it before, so I thought about join in the fun here."

Lu Yu agreed, "Okay, then you can take care of the house."

Mao Pu, "Then when you go back, please tell the warriors of my tribe to come here with food and furs."

"No problem."

Finally, Lu Yu and the Matai people embarked on their way home.

Lu Yu felt like an arrow. He couldn't wait to go back and see how Xia Cao and the others were doing. He also wanted to upgrade their fortress and started using the training ground as soon as possible.

"What are you thinking about?" Tai Li moved closer.

Lu Yu looked back at him and thought helplessly, okay, he needed to deal with the relationship problem with this person first.

Because, he found that Tai Li didn't want to be understood at all!
