Wolf King

Chapter 6 Wolf King

---

The Matai were expressionless when taking the wolf corpse away.

They are not short of meat, and they can only be kept for a short time, the smell of blood is still heavy. Wolf skin is a good thing, with hair thick, but it can’t be used in this weather, and Matai people are not afraid of cold. In the winter, they only casually look for a piece of animal skin and wear it.

Lu Yu watched them going in and out, thinking to himself.

Whether it’s hunting or resting, he could get hurt, and he’s running out of stock of his red medicine now, so it’s time to find a way to get some more.

While both rabbits and the grey wolves they encountered tonight can drop red medicine, it’s chances of drops is low if they go to kill it specifically. Rabbits have a small in number and has less meat, its not worth it. Hunting giant gray wolf will certainly injure them, and then the dropped red medicine will be used to heal the wound so that equal to nothing gained.

How can he get a lot of red medicine at once? Lu Yu thought.

The night passed quietly.

It was another fine morning.

Lu Yu followed the Matai to a small lake to wash briefly…

Since there was still a lot left from yesterday’s mammoth, there is no hurry to find food today.

The Matai are going to find the salt stone, pepper corns and wild peppers that Lu Yu said, and find a little more to make everyone eat a delicious barbecue.

Lu Yu agreed, and went with them to the jungle not far behind the cave.

Their formation is that Lu Yu stays in the middle, with people in the front and back. On the left is Tai Li, with Xia Cao following in the right.

When he came out, Lu Yu said to let Xia Cao stand in the middle. He felt that Xia Cao is, after all, a woman, its only proper to have a little more protection.

But Xia Cao smiled, and said with gentle face but a firm tone, “It’s all right witch, I will avoid it if there’s danger.”

Lu Yu nodded helplessly. Since the jungle behind the cave was patrolled by the Matai, there should be no more beasts like the wolves last night.

It’s unknown whether Lu Yu has a crow’s mouth, or its Murphy’s law in action, but while their group walked for a while, Tai Li shouted for a stop.

Lu Yu is a little nervous, “What’s the matter?” “

Tai Li said faintly, “There are beasts. “

Lu Yu was startled, “What beast? How many? Do we need to run?”

Xia Cao laughs, “Don’t worry, it’s only a brown fox.”

Lu Yu: ?

Xia Cao reached out, “Witch, you see, there –“

Lu Yu followed the direction where her finger was pointing to.

……I may be blind.

He didn’t see anything.

After staring hard for a long time, he finally saw a grass quivering a hundred meters away.

A long-tailed fox with brown fur suddenly jumped out, and ran away.

Lu Yu was surprised: “It ran away! So fast! “

His voice just dropped, and a slender wooden stick flew by his right ears like lightning, flying towards the fox with extreme precision. It through the fox body fiercely, nailing it in place.

Lu Yu: ???

Who shot with such great precision?

“Shan Pu, go and pick it up.” Xia Cao shouted to the front, and turned her head to Lu Yu gently, “Witch, I’ll peel this fox for you to use in the winter.”

Lu Yu looked at her hand that was just holding a wooden stick just now and is now empty, “… Okay. “

What illusion does he have that made him think that Matai women need more protection than him?

In their eyes, he’s probably a weak little man.

And they had no gain after walking for a while.

Shan Pu, who was walking in front, suddenly saw something that made his eyes light up. He run like a gust of wind, squatting to pick something up, and quickly ran back.

“Witch, look! Is this a wild pepper?!” He held up a small red fruit for Lu Yu to see.

Lu Yu shook his head, “No. It’s a wild little tomato.”

“Ah…” Shan Pu was disappointed and was about to throw away the things in his hand when Lu Yu stopped him and took the tomato.

In addition to finding ingredients, it is also necessary to bring some vegetables back.

The Matai people only love to eat meat, and no matter how sweet it is, they are only willing to eat it when they haven’t catch their preys. This will certainly result to a lack of vitamins, leading to low immunity. When the time comes and they got all kinds of diseases, it’ll be too late for regret.

Lu Yu put the tomatoes into the ring and seriously said: “This can also be eaten. You can pick more–“

Wait a minute.

Lu Yu just said a word, and suddenly remembered that the Matai people are not ordinary people. They have a strong genes, talent, and if there are no natural or man-made disasters, living up to a thousand years old are counted as dying young. Their physique is stronger than the beast, and live longer than Wang Ba. He can only live for a hundred year, and eating less vegetable is not good for his body…

(T/N: Wang Ba- chinese insult and translated as tortoise in english. thou i have no idea how living as long as a tortoise is an insult. any native chinese here to explain??)

What is he worried about? He should be worrying about himself more.
