Fierce Battle pt.1

“Witch, aren’t you going hunting with us today?” Asked one Tai Li’s hunting teammates.

Lu Yu glanced at the motionless sculture like Tai Li standing not too far away and smiled. “Every time I go, you guys hunt the least prey so that the cleaning up of scraps at night fall on your team, you still want me to go?”


“Of course!” “The Matai scratched his head and smiled, “If the witch goes with us, we feel more powerful when hunting.”

What he didn’t say that everytime he went hunting with the King, the atmosphere along the way is particularly solemn, and when the witch went with him, he would chat with them, and the mood would become very good.

Lu Yu thought of Tai Li’s indifference at him with no reason at all and suddenly began to give birth to a narrow heart. With his face full of grievance, he complained to several Matai, “It’s not that I don’t want to go, its the King that doesn’t want me to come. Did you not notice recently that the King avoids me?”

The Matai thought for a moment, and realize, it’s really the case!

Before, they also saw the witch feed the King to eat meat, sitting together to talk, but not anymore.

The straightforward Matai people walked to Tai Li’s side and let out their thoughts, “King, you can’t do this. The witch helped us a lot. You can’t treat him badly.”

Tai Li did not speak but his eyes darkened a little. He picked up his wooden stick and turned around, casually dropping a sentence, “Let’s go.”

Lu Yu grinned, also turned away, “No.”

Lu Yu walked away, and didn’t notice Tai Li’s slight stiffness.

When the hunting team went out, Lu Yu was entangled by the little Matai.

Shi Tou: “Witch, let’s go to the tower and play.”

Because the building is too high, Lu Yu did not allow them to go up alone.

Lu Yu was helpless, “Okay. “

Then, they went up to the tower.

Lu Yu patted Chen Ping who was standing on guard, “You go down for awhile, I’ll help in guarding first.”

Cheng Ping looked at the string of radish heads behind him and laughed, “Okay. “

The little Matai cheered and scattered, lying on the wooden rail, and constantly looking around.

“Witch, there’s someone over there!”

Shi Tou suddenly exclaimed.

Lu Yu took a few steps to his side and followed the direction where his finger is pointing to but only some dense trees can be seen.

Lu Yu hesitated, “Are you sure?”

Shi Tou’s small face scrunched up, stared for a moment, then firmly said, “Yes. A group, many people, probably around hundreds, are coming towards our village, and there’s something in their hands…”

Lu Yu’s heart was surprised, “Can you see what it is?”

Shi Toy squinted his eyes and his voice rose sharply, “It seems to be a stone spear and a wooden shield! They have weapons!”

Lu Yu once asked Tai Li, why don’t they tie a sharp stone on their wooden stick as their weapon, and Tai Li told him the answer.

Originally, a stone spear is not as easy to make as he thought. Ordinary stone can’t be that sharp, and it is easy to break, and become blunt. Even if they found the right stone, they need to artificially grind it for along time for it to become handy. For Tai Li, it is not as convenient as a hard wooden stick.


But that’s just for the powerful Matai. Ordinary people, if they take out a well-crafted stone spear, their lethality will greatly increase.

A group of people come straight towarss them with stone spears and wooden shields, their purpose is clear.

Lu Yu is in a hurry.

Is their village a blood-stained fat, that so many flies smells? Or these people are together with the previous group that attacked them?

Lu Yu didn’t think too much. He pulled Shi Tou to hurry down with the little Matai to inform those who remained in the village to hide elsewhere.

“Witch,” said Xiao Shui suddenly, sobbing, “Xia Cao and the other’s went to the woods over there fo pick some grass…”

Lu Yu’s brain halted.

Xiao Shui rubbed her eyes and choked out, “they said that the witch may use some more later on and decided to save some.”

At this time, Shi Tou, who have been staring at the woods, was also startled, ” I see them! They caught Xia Cao and the others!”

After that, a few little Matai also started to panick.

Xiao Shui cried, “Wu wuu, what should we do?”

Lu Yu’s original idea was to let everyone hide. Perhaphs these people, after seeing the village empty, will leave. Even if they didn’t, they can also secretly go to Tai Li and discuss whether to leave or fight.

But now, Xia Cao and the others has been caught.

They have to call Tai Li back!

Only by fighting can they rescue Xia Cao.

Lu Yu held Shi Tou’s shoulder and said in a deep voice, “Shi Tou, you take Xiao Shui and the others to hide. Don’t let yourselves be found.”

Shi Tou nodded heavily, “Okay, that witch you…”

Lu Yu smiled, “Remember the smoke signal the the witch taught you in the morning, the witch will first use the smoke signal to call the King back. So when they come back, everything will be alright. Okay, there’s no time. Go.”

“Okay! ” Shi Tou pulled Xiao Shui and ran away with the little Matai.

Lu Yu took some from from his ring and threw some flammable leaves into the large sgone basin. He poured some water and then lit the fur, taking a large leaf and fanning the smoke.

After doing all of this, he went down the tower.

At this time, some left-behinf Matai people stood at the village, tightly hilding a wooden stick, their face grave.

If Xia Cao and the others were not caught, they may still hide, but now they can’t back down.

Lu Yu had guessed that this would be the case so he did not persuade them, only saying, “I’ll be with you.”

The Matai who just looked firm immediately panicked, “Witch, you also go and hide. We will be here, and we will rescue Xia Cao from them.”

“Don’t say anything anymore, ” Lu Yu interrupted them, “I will wait with you so you won’t be impulsive. Wait for Tai Li to comeback first, and we will fight again.”

The Matai couldn’t refute him and had to agree.
