Chapter 7

Lu Yu mercilessly drove them away, “No more, only Shi Tou and Xiao Shui can eat it. Go eat your roasted meat.”

The Matai people are reluctant to leave, taking three steps backward for every step they took forward.

Lu Yu distributed the fish to the little ones, hesitated for a moment, then took one of the remaining two larger fish, placed it on a stone next to Tai Li, who had finished eating the meat and was now processing the fox fur.

He wanted to say something, but in the end, he just managed to squeeze out a sentence, “King, eat while it’s hot.”

After saying that, without waiting for the reaction of the person in front of him, he turned and ran away.

If he want to live well among Matai tribe, it’s necessary to please Matai king. Lu Yu naturally thought so.

“King, are you full?” Shan Pu licked his lips and approached. He didn’t want to snatch the king’s food, but the fish was too delicious, and he couldn’t resist.

Tai Li wordlessly threw the fox he had half-peeled into Shan Pu’s arms, wiped the blood off his hands with leaves, and slowly chewed on the fish.

Shan Pu watched with regret, but when the king was about to give him a cold look, he hurriedly ran away with the fox in his arms.

After dinner, all Matai sat in a semi-circular formation, discussing the matter of hunting and killing the wolf king together.

Lu Yu said, “We need to find it first.”

A Matai said, “Actually, it’s not difficult to find the wolf king. During the day, the wolf pack disperses, patrolling and marking their territory. As long as we find one, follow it, and we’ll see the wolf king at night.”

Lu Yu nodded.

“But the wolf king will be surrounded by many wolves, making it difficult to kill,” A Matai man added.

“Yeah, that’s right,” other Matai people agreed. Although they could withstand the wolf pack’s attacks, actively killing the wolf king hiding behind all the wolves was another matter.

With his chin resting on his hand, Lu Yu pondered for a moment, then raised his head. “Then, how about another wolf attack?”

Matai looked at him in confusion. “Huh?”

Lu Yu explained his plan: “We prepare ourselves, distract the other wolves, and then ambush the wolf king from behind.”

“But… we don’t know when the wolf pack will come again,” someone questioned.

Lu Yu didn’t answer. Instead, he turned to Shan Pu and asked a question, “Shan Pu, did you properly dispose of the leftovers from last night’s barbecue?”

Shan Pu was startled, scratched his head, and said in a ashamed voice, “No, I didn’t…”

He was responsible for disposing of the leftover bone scraps last night, but because they had eaten too much and were excited, he had been lazy and hadn’t carefully disposed of the bone scraps.

Lu Yu continued, “Last night, there was a wind…”

And because of this wind, the scent was carried to the wolf pack that might not have eaten enough, causing a large number of wolves to attack.

Tai Li frowned and said sternly, “Shan Pu, you attracted the wolves.”

At this moment, Shan Pu also realized his mistake. He walked up to Tai Li, knelt down on one knee, lowered his head, and muttered, “King, I’m willing to accept punishment.”

Several other Matai people also walked out and knelt down with him, saying, “We’re willing too.” They should have disposed of the leftovers together with Shan Pu, but they had also been lazy.

Seeing this scene, Lu Yu didn’t say anything. It was only right to be punished for making mistakes.

But that wasn’t the focus right now.

Lu Yu proposed, “King, let’s talk about this later. Can we discuss the matter of surrounding and killing the wolf king first?”

Tai Li glanced at him and coldly ordered Shan Pu and the others to sit back down.

Seeing that everyone had no objections to ambushing the wolf king, Lu Yu cleared his throat. “So, we need to first find a suitable place to lure the wolves, select a few people, and if I can use my witch abilities to obtain treasures from the wolf king, we’ll kill it. If not, we’ll run away. Does everyone agree to this plan?”

Matai nodded one after another.

Lu Yu was about to finalize the plan when Tai Li suddenly spoke up.

“No, we can’t.”
