Chapter 19
Lu Yu had been in this world for several months, experiencing many dangers and fears during this time, but he had the ability to forcibly stabilize his own mentality.
However, this time, his heart clenched suddenly, and a huge panic swept over him, causing him to lose his composure completely.
Lu Yu’s shout was earth-shattering.
Tai Lie didn’t have time to look at him, just furrowed his brow. The stone spear in his hand didn’t loosen in the slightest; he just shifted slightly to the left to its limit.
Just this tiny step caused the stone spear, which should have pierced straight into his back, to penetrate his shoulder.
The black, stout man who attacked from behind was first shocked by the speed of his reaction, then smirked triumphantly.
Even if he didn’t directly kill this person, so what? With his shoulder pierced, this person would definitely lie on the ground in pain and let him do as he pleased.
After all, it was fortunate that he dodged this attack.
The leader did say to keep him alive...
In the experience of the stout man, no matter how strong a man was, with such an attack, he would definitely be crippled. But he didn’t expect that the man in front of him not only didn’t become crippled, but his reaction speed even increased...
The sharp stone spear pierced into the flesh with a “chirp”.
Tai Lie’s muscles tensed suddenly, and a strong killing intent filled his eyes.
He first broke the stone spear in his hand, then reached behind his shoulder, breaking off the spear embedded in his shoulder without caring about the piece of spear still inside. With blood gushing from his shoulder, he turned around, swiftly approached, and with lightning speed, grabbed the neck of the attacker from behind.
Lu Yu flipped over the corpse on him and ran towards Tai Lie, seeing a limp object slip from Tai Lie’s hand and fall to the ground.
It was a fresh corpse, foaming at the mouth, eyes wide open like copper bells.
Lu Yu paused for a moment, suppressing the discomfort rising in his heart, and didn’t look there again. He ran anxiously to Tai Lie’s side, grabbed his arm, and checked his wound.
Although the stone blade pierced deeply, fortunately, it didn’t hit any vital spots.
Although still somewhat frightened, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.
He was about to say something when another stone spear flew towards them.
Tai Lie grabbed Lu Yu and roughly pushed him behind him.
“Take cover.”
With these two words, Tai Lie returned to the bloody battle.
Lu Yu stared blankly at his back. “Alright...”
At this moment, the game panel suddenly popped up, displaying a line of text.
[Reminder: Affinity mission progress has reached 90]
Lu Yu’s eyes narrowed, and he quickly checked it, finding that the progress bar, which had only been about one-sixth full, had suddenly increased by a large chunk.
What happened?
He didn’t do anything intimate with Tai Lie just now, did he? Even physical contact was just grabbing his arm.
Lu Yu thought carefully.
If he had to say, the only interaction between them was when Tai Lie blocked that spear for him. But before that, Tai Lie had often helped him too, and it didn’t increase their intimacy.
Could it be that this crazy system considered protecting each other from injury as intimate behavior?
Fortunately, he had red pill, so a little blood wasn’t a big deal.
While Lu Yu was silently cursing the system, a figure suddenly appeared in front of him.
Lu Yu was startled, realizing he had forgotten about him!
He quickly grabbed the person in front of him. “Cha Zhe, why are you here?”
Shouldn’t Shi Tou have taken him away?
Last time when the Shi Tou came to ask, Lu Yu already knew about Cha Zhe’s special situation. Although he was surprised, he had already experienced the abnormalities of the Matai people.
Automatic healing from injuries wasn’t that strange, especially after Cha Zhe could produce little red pill. In his eyes, Cha Zhe was just an ordinary child, even a bit more fragile than Shi Tou and the others.
“Retreat?!” Jiao Feng’s eyes were bloodshot with anger as he glared at him, “Didn’t you see how fast those people are running? Even if we retreat collectively, we won’t be able to escape!”
His usually gentle face was now twisted to the extreme.
The warrior was too frightened to ask further and could only bury his head and hurry along the road.
Not long after Jiao Feng fled, the abandoned members of the Blackwater Tribe realized that their leader was missing. Already feeling hesitant, they didn’t care about anything else and started running away.
Shan Pu and the others instinctively wanted to chase after them.
Lu Yu hurriedly stopped them. “Don’t pursue the enemy too far!”
Shan Pu: ???
Lu Yu paused for a moment, then explained, “Maybe they have ambushes and reinforcements.”
Moreover, the most important person has already fled.
Lu Yu also realized that the chubby guy who seemed to be the leader of this people had disappeared at some point. Blaming himself for not thinking of it earlier, he should have caught the leader first. Lu Yu still lacked experience.
Lu Yu sighed inwardly and quickly regained his composure.
“Let’s take a rest first, check your wounds, and let me know if you need more red pill.”
This time is different from the last overwhelming momentum. The enemy is numerous and armed, and almost every Matai is injured.
Although there were no major casualties, Lu Yu’s mood was somewhat solemn. The invaders this time only brought weapons like stone spears, which are piercing weapons. If they encounter weapons like swords and sabers in the future, it won’t be so easy.
Red pill can heal wounds, but there are two types it can’t heal.
First, fatal wounds that are beyond treatment, such as the heart being pierced.
Second, detached wounds that can’t be healed. If a leg is completely severed, red pill can keep you from dying, but it can’t make your leg grow back.
Lu Yu pondered in his mind. He needed to find some beasts with dropped armor or make some wooden shields himself. But he felt that wooden shields weren’t suitable for Matai people, as they all preferred to use their hands to beat people up or throw them around. It would be better to have armor that protects the main parts of the body...
In addition to this, he also needed some means of self-defense.
Just as he was thinking about it, he caught sight of Tai Lie sitting on a stone pedestal, about to remove the remaining half of the stone spear embedded in his shoulder.
“Wait a moment!” Lu Yu hurried over, “Let me help you.”
This will definitely increase affinity! The progress bar isn’t far from completion, so earning a bit more is good.
Before Tai Lie could refuse, Lu Yu dashed to his back.
He grabbed the exposed wooden stick and swallowed nervously. “I’m going to pull it out!”
Tai Lie responded calmly, “Okay.”
Lu Yu supported his shoulder with his left hand and exerted force with his right hand.
Fresh blood gushed out.
Lu Yu was startled and hurriedly took out a red pill, handing it to him, “Quick, take it.”
Tai Lie glanced at the pill in his palm, pursed his lips, and remained silent.
Lu Yu became anxious. Big brother, you’re bleeding dry!
Without waiting for his reaction, Lu Yu pinched the pill and, with his other hand supporting the chin of the sometimes temperamental Matai Chief, unceremoniously stuffed the pill into his mouth.
This time, Tai Lie cooperated quite well. The pill went in smoothly.
Lu Yu couldn’t help but feel like a fatherly satisfaction, like feeding pill to a mischievous child.
After completing the task, as his finger withdrew, he accidentally touched something warm, soft, and thick.
It was a tongue...
Lu Yu stiffened for a moment, feeling the gaze falling on him suddenly become heavy.
Perhaps he thought Lu Yu’s hands were dirty, just like he also detested them.
Lu Yu retracted his hand, smiled apologetically, and said, “How about rinsing your mouth with water...”
Before he could finish speaking, the system jumped out with a message.
