Chapter 3

This ability, Lu Yu could guarantee, that so-called witch definitely didn’t have it. The Matai King agreed without much thought, but it wasn’t possible to let Lu Yu go alone. A group of people returned to the place where the elephant killed.

The treasure chest dropped by the beast could only be seen and touched by Lu Yu. The items inside would only become visible when touched by Lu Yu.

The Matai people watched Lu Yu as he had just picked up something, squatting there, reaching out his hand to the air and shaking it continuously. Lu Yu was purely excited. The previously dropped little red pills and such were just direct drops, not given the privilege of being in a treasure chest. He opened the box and looked at the silver ring lying inside, swallowed his saliva, and picked it up.

A light blue screen suddenly appeared.

[Obtained Storage Ring 1 (D-grade)]

[Storage space 10 × 10 × 10 (in meters)]

At the same time, the Matai people who were standing a few meters away watching were all dumbfounded, looking incredulous. Subconsciously holding their breath, their eyes stared at the frail, pale-looking witch and the object in his hand.

Lu Yu put the ring on the index finger of his right hand and instantly felt a strange connection with the ring. Satisfied, he smiled and wondered whether to take the treasure chest away (it looked like gold), but in the blink of an eye, the treasure chest had disappeared, leaving him with a regretful sigh. He stood up, supporting his knee.

“Witch, what is that?” Just a while ago, the person who was about to kill Lu Yu, Shan Pu was as obedient as a puppy now, asking cautiously.

Lu Yu raised his head, raised his arm, turned his back to him, showing him the ring, and casually bluffed, “This is something only we witchs can use. Others who take it will die a horrible death.”

The Matai people didn’t doubt him and nodded in awe. “But what’s it for?”

“Watch.” Lu Yu walked to the side of the huge elephant carcass and put his hand on its leg.

Nervously, he swallowed his saliva.

Two seconds later, the elephant corpse, as large as a small hill, disappeared without a trace. There was no sound, no trace, as if the unfortunate elephant had never existed.

Lu Yu let out a breath.

The Matai people opened their mouths wide, rubbing their eyes desperately.

“Oh my God…”

“What happened? Where’s the elephant?”

“I must be blind!”

The Matai King furrowed his brows slightly and glanced around at the place where the elephant’s body had disappeared.

Lu Yu was satisfied with the Matai people’s reaction, but when he turned his head, he saw the Matai King, who was calm and serious.

For some reason, seeing him frown made Lu Yu feel a little scared, as if he had seen a leader who rarely smiled and held the power of life and death…

He wouldn’t think that Lu Yu had made the elephant disappear, would he?

Lu Yu was about to explain that he could bring it back when the Matai King spoke.

“Clean up,” the Matai King looked at the setting sun that was about to set, his tone solemn. “We’re going to catch wild boars.”

“Alright!” The Matai people quickly became serious and raised their sticks loudly in response.

Lu Yu was stunned.

They didn’t scold him for making the food disappear?

Is this person’s temper good or bad?

“Wait a minute,” seeing them preparing to set off with great enthusiasm, Lu Yu hurriedly said, “It didn’t disappear, I just stored it away.”

“Look.”

As soon as he finished speaking, the elephant carcass reappeared at the spot where it had disappeared earlier.

The Matai people exclaimed in amazement once again.

After explaining for a while, Lu Yu put the elephant carcass back into the ring.

The sky was getting late, and the group began to head towards the Matai tribe’s cave.

Lu Yu put the grass clothes and backpack into the ring as well, feeling relaxed as he was surrounded by the Matai people chatting.

In addition to chatting to gather information, he also directed the Matai people to kill several wild rabbits.

It has to be said that the Matai guy named Shan Pu runs really fast, leaning forward, with a determined and bloodthirsty look in his eyes, like a real cheetah. It was completely different from his usual somewhat silly appearance.

The wild rabbits generously dropped some little red pills, which Lu Yu happily picked up and put into the ring. This harvest alone was more than he had gotten in more than ten days.

When there were only a few remnants of sunlight left in the sky, they finally reached the Matai tribe’s cave.

“King, you’re back!” The guard standing at the entrance of the cave with a wooden stick saw them and ran over excitedly.

The guard, Cheng Ping, with sharp eyes, noticed that today’s hunting team led by the king seemed to have no harvest. He paused for a moment, still wearing a happy expression on his face, “Today, Le Shui and a few others caught a few fat rabbits. We have food for tonight!”

Regardless of gender, the Matai people were all strong and had huge appetites. They could eat seven or eight catties of meat in one meal, and a few rabbits wouldn’t be enough for dozens of Matai people to fill their teeth.

However, returning empty-handed from hunting was also common. Being able to come back intact was worth celebrating even if they hadn’t caught anything.

Cheng Ping, who had been standing guard at the entrance all day, optimistically consoled himself. Anyway, the Matai people could withstand hunger, and skipping a few meals wasn’t a big deal.

“Cheng Ping, why did you thought we haven’t caught anything?” Shan Pu walked up and put his arm around Cheng Ping’s neck, smiling mischievously.

Cheng Ping: “?”

Why ask? You guys have nothing in your hands.

Shan Pu smirked, “Let me tell you, not only did we catch an elephant today, but you know what else we caught… Oops, who you you think we bring back?”

Before Cheng Ping could ask where their prey was, he was led astray by Shan Pu’s mysterious expression. He asked stupidly, “Who?”

Do they still have distant relatives in the Matai tribe?

“It’s just—” Shan Pu turned his head and looked into the crowd.

The crowd parted, spontaneously making way for a path.

Lu Yu had to bite the bullet and walk out in this somewhat juvenile way of appearing.

Shan Pu stood with his hands on his hips, chin up, proudly proclaiming, “Witch!! We brought back a witch!!”

Cheng Ping was dumbfounded, “Huh?”

Soon he realized what was going on and looked at the person who walked out with bright eyes, “Huh!!”

Shan Pu disdainfully patted him on the back, “What’s with the ‘huh’? Let me show you the power of our witch!”

After saying that, he jogged over to Lu Yu, toning down his previously arrogant expression, and with a tone as if afraid that being too loud would scare someone away, he softly asked, “Witch, can you bring out the prey now?”

Lu Yu nodded somewhat amused.

Perhaps influenced by the somewhat juvenile atmosphere at this moment, Lu Yu thought for a moment, raised his right hand, and snapped his fingers.

Snap!

A huge mammoth appeared not far away, lying dead with its legs upturned.

While Shan Pu and the others were talking, Matai people who were staying in the cave also ran out, just in time to witness this scene, and immediately let out a cry of astonishment.

“Wow!!!”

Lu Yu looked over.
