Chapter 2

 

This pill was called “Small Healing Pill,” which in the game restored a certain amount of health. Here, it could quickly treat a certain degree of external injuries, but if the injury was severe or had been sustained for too long, it wouldn’t work.

 

“Take it.” Lu Yu handed the Small Healing Pill over.

 

The Matai person looked at the strange red pill but didn’t move.

 

“Here, watch closely.” Lu Yu picked a bit of the Small Healing Pill with his fingernail, put it on his tongue, gestured for him to see, and then swallowed it.

 

“I took it too, and nothing happened.”

 

“This is a good thing, only I can make it. It took me a long time to make just one,” Lu Yu earnestly boasted.

 

Even if he wasn’t a witch, seeing the effect of the Small Healing Pill and knowing that only he had it, they would consider sparing his life.

 

Noticing the king’s nod, the Matai person didn’t hesitate anymore, picked up the pill, and swallowed it.

 

“When will it start to work?” the Matai king asked calmly.

 

“Well…” Lu Yu stood up, wiping off the blood-stained leaves stuck to him with disdain.

 

Clearing his throat, he smiled calmly.

 

“Just after I finish saying this sentence.”

 

As soon as his words fell, a sudden exclamation sounded around them.

 

“Look at Ruba’s leg!”

 

The Matai people crowded together, and Lu Yu shrugged, making room.

 

“Wow, Ruba’s leg has stopped bleeding!”

 

“The wound is shrinking!”

 

“How is this possible, it’s amazing!”

 

“That wildman’s pill healed it, he really is a witch!”

 

“We actually encountered a witch!”

 

—

 

Witchs are very rare among humans. Legend has it that they can cure diseases, heal injuries, control the weather, and communicate with gods. Perhaps there might be one or two in large tribes and settlements.

 

Although the Matai people were all powerful, they were few in number and, for some reason, were not proactive in interacting with outsiders. Moreover, their survival was unstable, and they couldn’t afford to support a delicate witch. So, when the elders mentioned them, it was always with longing.

 

Unexpectedly, they encountered a wild one today?

 

The Matai people huddled together, getting more excited as they communicated. Their gazes shifted back and forth between Ruba’s leg and the seemingly frail witch.

 

Like sixty or so searchlights.

 

Even with Lu Yu’s thick skin, he felt a bit embarrassed by being stared at like this, so he could only turn his face towards the only calm person in the crowd.

 

He gave the Matai king a somewhat flattering smile.

 

With youthful fair skin and phoenix-like eyes, his smile revealed a dimple, innocent and harmless, yet attractive.

 

The Matai king glanced at him indifferently, then turned to look at the circle of people.

 

“Make way.”

 

Hearing the king’s command, the excited Matai people fell silent in an instant, consciously dispersing to both sides to make way for their king.

 

“King!” Ruba excitedly lifted his leg to show the king.

 

Although the Matai people felt little pain and were almost immune to it, severe injuries could still cripple or kill them. Moreover, compared to other wild creatures who cherish their lives because of pain, the Matai people were indifferent to life and death and would fight recklessly.

 

When fighting with beasts, they charged headlong.

 

However, this wasn’t because the Matai people were foolish; on the contrary, it was a good way to survive in an environment where it was a matter of life and death. Only by making others fear you and dare not provoke you could you obtain food and territory.

 

But as a result, many Matai people died because they didn’t know how to treat injuries.

 

Whether it was because of that pill or not, Ruba, who originally felt a bit weak, suddenly felt energized.

 

After showing his leg to the king, he stood up, patted his belly, and said with a smile, “King, I feel like I could eat a whole cow now.”

 

The Matai king nodded slightly. “Hmm.”

 

Under the expectant gazes of all the tribesmen, he looked at Lu Yu. “What is your name?”

 

Lu Yu hesitated for a moment. “My name is Lu Yu.”

 

“Lu Yu,” the Matai king said lightly. “You will come with us.”

 

Lu Yu had guessed something about what a witch was from the reactions of these Matai people, but that would have to be verified later. For now, he dared not refuse, of course. In front of a group of strong, shining-eyed men, he couldn’t refuse, and he also had his own considerations.

 

“Okay,” Lu Yu agreed readily.

 

The Matai people raised their wooden sticks and cheered loudly.

 

Taking advantage of the situation, Lu Yu negotiated in a tone that was good for everyone, “Not only will I help treat your injuries, but I also have many other abilities. Can you provide me with some food and protect me when there are beasts? After all, I can only help you better if I’m alive, right?”

 

The Matai king glanced at him and nodded without objection. “Our Matai tribe won’t let someone with your physique go into battle.”

 

—

 

Although he felt a bit despised, Lu Yu still felt relieved.

 

He had felt like he was about to burp a moment ago, but now his life suddenly had some security. It wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say that luck had turned in his favor, all thanks to the miraculous Small Healing Pill. In this regard, the game panel was still quite useful…

 

Game panel…

 

Wait a minute, he suddenly remembered that there was still…

 

“King!”

 

In a second, Lu Yu effortlessly shifted his identity, approached the Matai king, and said cheerfully, “I need to go to the place where the mammoth died. I will demonstrate another witch ability there!”
