Chapter 14
Yu Shui saw the person who had just yelled at him, holding a short, stone-like blade, piercing it into the chest of his man, easily knocking him down.
His heart skipped a beat.
But soon he forced himself to believe that his man wasn’t ready yet, and this kid was just too fast, so he didn’t react in time. Once he reacted, he could deal with him right away…
Before he could calm his suddenly pounding heart, every man on the opposite side looked ferocious and fearless, rushing over, and the person with the stone blade wasn’t stopped at all…
Yu Shui’s pupils dilated little by little, watching helplessly as the people of his tribe fell down one by one like trampled grass. Some didn’t even have time to scream in agony.
Yu Shui had seen killings before; he had lost count of the number of lives under his hands. But he had never seen such extreme violence, completely overwhelming the opponent without any chance to fight back.
He was completely shocked. His brain turned into a mess, and before he could figure out what to do next, a person, carrying a visibly overwhelming momentum, like a stone on fire, smashed towards him…

Lu Yu had some minor concerns at first.
He came here and had only seen the indigenous Matai people. Although the panel said these people were ordinary, he thought maybe even ordinary people here were much stronger than modern humans?
But after seeing the performance of the Matai people, these worries quickly disappeared…
It was just a bit uncomfortable, psychologically.
After seeing Tai Li smash someone into a mess with one punch, he covered his mouth, bent over, and reflexively retched.
Xia Cao, seeing this, quickly supported his arm, worriedly asking, “Witch, are you okay?”
Lu Yu raised his head, forced a smile, and said, “I’m fine.”
Xia Cao wanted to help him rest on the side, but they were still in battle after all, and she hesitated in case something happened. Her expression was somewhat hesitant.
Lu Yu stood up and said, “Really, I’m fine.”
After saying that, he forced himself to look back at the battlefield.
He already had a vague premonition that such things wouldn’t be rare in the future, so it was better to get used to it sooner.
Xia Cao didn’t say anything more and also shifted her gaze back, noticing something and asked in confusion, “Why is King so different today? He seems unusually angry…”
Lu Yu also noticed Tai Li, who was massacring ruthlessly.
Xia Cao was right; Tai Li was indeed different from usual.
Take the night of Gourd-shaped Valley when he killed the Wolf King, for example. At that time, he exuded a majestic momentum that no one could stop, radiating absolute confidence in victory.
Today, however, he was like a battle machine with bloodshot eyes…
Lu Yu frowned. When he saw Tai Li about to kill the person who had said he would capture him first, he couldn’t help but shout, “Wait, King!”
Tai Li, accurately hearing Lu Yu’s voice from the chaos, paused his fist, lips slightly pursed, withdrew his fist, and kicked the man in the stomach.
Yu Shui was kicked to the ground, clutching his stomach and groaning in pain.
Lu Yu walked over with Xia Cao protecting him.
At this moment, Yu Shui fully realized what had happened. He had crashed into the stone platform this time. Seeing the person he had just coveted walking over, he couldn’t help but drag his body forward and beg for mercy.
“Let me go, let me go, I’ll leave immediately, I won’t come to rob your things again, okay?”
He still had some insight and realized that among this group of savages, this thin and fair person seemed to be more negotiable.
Lu Yu didn’t answer him but instead asked him a question, “Are you the leader?”
Yu Shui wanted to say no, but thinking about how he had just given orders, he reluctantly admitted it.
Lu Yu asked again, “How did you find us?”
Yu Shui hesitated for a moment, his eyes rolling, and suddenly pointed to Mu Hei, who was trembling and trying to escape, “It’s him, he brought me here, saying your tribe was small and could be easily raided.”
Mu Hei was shocked, “Leader, you—”
Lu Yu turned to Mu Hei, “And how did you find us?”
Mu Hei was almost scared silly, trembling as he said, “I accidentally saw your people hunting…”
Accidentally?
Lu Yu pondered for a moment and asked again, “Do you know which other tribes are nearby?”
Mu Hei hadn’t had a chance to speak yet when Yu Shui suddenly remembered his identity. He flailed about, shouting, “Yes! Do you know who I am? I am the son of the chief of the Blackwater tribe! If the Blackwater tribe knows this, they can easily wipe out your small tribe. If you hurt me, they won’t let you off!”
Lu Yu: …
By saying that, you’ve ensured we won’t let you go.
He couldn’t afford to make the foolish mistake of letting the tiger return to the mountain, endangering the entire Matai tribe.

The bodies of the people from the Yi tribe were dragged into the woods.
After some time passed, suddenly, amidst the silent pile of bodies, a somewhat stooped figure sat up, coughing a few times.
This person was called Qing Mu. He had already sensed something was wrong when he saw someone recklessly rushing up with a stone blade. Sure enough, they couldn’t beat the other party at all.
Qing Mu secretly rejoiced.
