Chapter 669 Moon Festival
The other party asked Mu You how he came here alone.
Mu You wanted to say that it was not difficult, after all, it was only his game character here, and he could be resurrected at any time. No matter how dangerous he was in the game, his main body had no psychological burden.
What's more, he was now the strongest among the Fools, with six kinds of divine power. This was too extravagant. I'm afraid that none of the previous Fools' ancestors had ever done it in the two hundred years of history of the High Sky World.
In addition, before the fourth floor, the Black Angel did not fail. Rather than saying that he reached the fourth floor, it was better to say that Ava and the Black Angel helped him complete the last three floors. He only survived the first floor by himself.
In short, he seemed to be in danger all the way, but in fact, there was no situation that exceeded his ability.
What Mu You wanted to ask now was this couple, how did they do it?
He had personally experienced the difficulty of surviving on the fourth floor. With the help of the Black Angel, he only lasted less than a day, while the other party survived for more than a thousand years in this dangerous jungle with a mortal body. This was the most magical thing for Mu You.
[The man continued: "Let me introduce myself first. My name is Hornloe Cummings. I was originally a member of the 128th team of the Forest Survey Team of the City of Order. I left some inscriptions in the previous layers, which you may have seen."]
[After the man finished speaking, he pointed to the woman next to him: "This is my wife, Lisha Kaye. Like me, she was a member of the original survey team."]
[The woman smiled at you as a greeting, and you nodded and greeted them. But you keenly noticed that the woman looked at you with a little vigilance.]
["Young man, I know you must have a lot of questions to ask, but before that, I need to know the situation of the Fool outside." The man stopped talking after he finished speaking, looking at you and waiting for your response.]
[You can feel that the couple seems to be wary of you. Should I tell each other the situation of the Fool truthfully?]
"..."
Mu You hesitated for a moment. He could actually guess the reason why the two people suspected him: they were worried whether he was a parasite.
According to the timeline, the expedition team of these two people set out at the end of the two hundred years when the Fool's ancestor came to Gaotian. At that time, the situation of the God-Eating Beast should have spread among the tribe, and even the news that the Fool was parasitized on the front line had been known.
And they completely lost contact with other Fools after that.
Now more than a thousand years have passed, and a Fool suddenly appeared. If Mu You was the other party, he would definitely doubt whether the other party was pretending to be the God-Eating Beast.
In fact, it was not only the other party who suspected him. Mu You also suspected whether these two people were parasites at the beginning. After all, the God-Eating Beast's hand had definitely reached out to the Ring Forest, and these two people had been in the Ring Forest for a long time. It was not impossible for the God-Eating Beast to notice it.
However, Mu You soon ruled out this suspicion, because he clicked to check the situation of the family of four. There was no trace of divinity in these four people. They should have eaten the insect molt to the limit long ago.
Now their physical condition is similar to that of the savages. The divinity in their bodies is zero, and ordinary God-Eating Beasts cannot survive in their bodies at all.
At present, the only creature that can survive in the body of a godless creature is the red God-Eating Beast, but this God-Eating Beast is too deadly, and only the physique of wild people can withstand it. Even if the human body is strengthened to the limit, it will die in the parasitic process.
So this family of four can be ruled out as a suspect.
Thinking of this, Mu You chose "yes" and briefly explained the situation of the Fool in the outside world to the two people. However, Mu You vaguely skipped some important information, such as the exits of several servers and the specific location of the Sky City.
[In your calm narration, the two were still listening calmly at first, but soon they were shocked, and the more they listened, the more shocked they were. ]
[The two children were immersed in your story and listened with relish. ]
["Surprisingly, so many things happened..." After listening, the woman couldn't help but exclaimed, turned her head and looked at the man, and nodded. 】
【The man looked at you, with a bit of respect in his tone: "No wonder you are so powerful, it turns out that you are the descendant of order."】
【"Sorry for doubting you, we need to make sure you are not a parasite first. After we entered the Ring Forest, we actually kept trying to find out the news of the tribe. Later, we heard that the Fool was parasitized in large numbers and fled to the Star Spirit Realm, and even some giants followed him to the Star Spirit Realm. This made us wonder for a while whether the Fool and even the Star Spirit Realm had been parasitized by the Devouring God Beast... Fortunately, now the suspicion has been ruled out." The man sighed. 】
Mu You's identity is easy to confirm. He is a player. He is just a mental clone here. He can be resurrected, can transmit items through the game, etc. Any one of them can prove that what he said is true.
Wait...
Mu You was stunned after reading it. These two people can still find out the news of the Fool? Aren't they trapped in the Ring Forest?
[“We got the information from the savages.” Facing your doubt, the man smiled and said, “The gathering place of the savages is on the sixth floor. Normally, we cannot reach it with our strength, but there are exceptions. Every year, there will be a continuous full moon lasting about a week in the Jielin Forest, commonly known as the ‘Moon Festival’.”]
["During the moon festival, the savages will hold a moon festival ceremony and worship the moon lake to gain enlightenment. During the moon festival, the aggressiveness of the creatures in the ring forest will be reduced to a minimum. At that time, we can pass the fifth floor more easily. , arrived at the savage tribe, and exchanged some tools, information, daily necessities, etc. with the savages." The man explained, and then thought of something: "Speaking of which, this year's moon festival is coming soon. If you come later. In a few days, in time for the start of the moon festival, your schedule will be much easier.”]
It turns out that there is a special festival in the Ring Forest. During the festival, you can easily travel through the Ring Forest.
It's a pity that Mu You can't wait until then. His mission is to remind the savages to be careful about the parasitic beasts. He is racing against time and can't wait any longer.
[You and Cummings exchanged information and understood the basic situation. Cummings indicated that if you have any questions you want to ask, you can ask them at any time. 】
【your choice……】
[Ask about the other person’s past. 】
[Ask the two children. 】
[Ask Yuehu and Yuedie. 】
[Ask Jie Lin about his survival skills. 】
Many options popped up in succession, all of which Muyou wanted to know. Muyou clicked on them one by one.
[You ask about the other person’s past. 】
["Thirteen hundred years ago, fourteen members of our team entered the Ring Forest. You should have seen the experiences of the first three levels in the inscriptions, so I won't go into details."]
["After entering the third level, the injured teammate died quickly, leaving only the two of us." The man pointed to his wife beside him: "At that time, we also ran out of ammunition and food. We thought we would die, but At this moment, a moon butterfly appeared in front of us, flying and hovering in front of us, as if it wanted to lead us somewhere.”]
["We followed Yue Die, and finally found a dried up moon well, and dug out three mechanical armors next to the well water. These seemed to be the relics left by the protoss named Mechanic a long time ago. .”]
["It's a pity that we can't activate these armors. These armors seem to be missing something key. We can only disassemble the armors and use the weapon parts on them separately. After connecting these weapon parts to the moon stone, we can Inspire powerful attacks."]
[“With the help of these armor parts, our combat effectiveness has greatly increased. Only then did we get out of the desperate situation at that time, and broke through the third floor all the way to the fourth floor...”]
Mu You's expression turned strange when he saw this.
Good guy, no wonder he couldn't find the mechanic's relics on the third floor. It turned out that someone had taken them away in advance...
As for the key thing that the other party said was missing, of course it was the mechanical heart.
The mechanical heart is equivalent to a car key. It is impossible to drive normally without a car key, but dismantle the car and use the parts in the car alone.
["We have entered the fourth level, but that's it. Those mechanical parts can only guarantee our safety on the fourth level at most. We can't pass the fifth level. Maybe a complete armor can do it, but it's a pity. We don’t know how to use it, so we can only stay on the fourth floor temporarily.”]
["During this period, we have been trying to break through the fifth level, until the arrival of the first moon festival, we finally arrived at the savage tribe for the first time."]
["At first, we just begged the savages to remove the stone at the entrance of the Ring Forest and let us go back. Unfortunately, the savages were unable to enter and ignored our appeals at all."]
["We did not give up. We went to the savage tribe year after year, giving gifts and asking for help...until a few years later, our sincerity finally impressed an old savage man, but we learned from him that the Fool might have already News of the destruction by the God-Eating Beast..."]
["This is a huge blow to us. It means that the Fools in the outside world and even the entire star spirit world may have been occupied by the God-Eating Beasts. In the entire Fool group, only two of us are the real Fools..."]
"After a period of depression, we gave up completely and no longer thought about leaving the Ring Forest, because from our perspective, the outside world was already full of devouring beasts, and the Ring Forest was a rare safe place for us. ”]
["In this way, the two of us settled down in the Ring Forest, established a survival base, got married and had children, learned the lifestyle of savages, worked at sunrise and rested at sundown, until now..."]
After listening to the two people's stories, Mu You looked slightly strange. So these two blue-skinned children are really their biological children?
Two fools with normal skin color gave birth to blue-skinned offspring... which slightly exceeded Mu You's biological understanding.
[You ask about the two children. 】
["These two are indeed our children. The elder brother is called Milai and the younger sister is Mina." Cummings lovingly touched the heads of the two children and explained: "The ecology in the Ring Forest is completely the same as our territory. The difference is that you can’t just conceive a child if you want to. We only gave birth to our first child after living in the forest for a hundred years.”]
["To be honest, when Milai was just born, we were also shocked. He was wrapped in a layer of blue fetal membranes, quiet and motionless. We thought it was a stillbirth at first, but we found that he was stillborn. There is a heartbeat. I am obviously alive, but I cannot grow. I cannot move without opening my eyes. More than a year has passed and I am still so big..."]
"It wasn't until one day when we tried to put him in Shigure that Milai started to move. He tore his fetal membranes and cried, as if he had just been born."
【“At first we were worried that being in the rain would quickly exhaust his lifespan, but later we found that the child had no lifespan at all. The two of them were born in the High Sky World. In fact, in theory, they are no longer the Fool, but the native creatures of the Ringwood. We cannot judge them with the common sense of the Fool.”】
【“A hundred years later, Mina was born. The two children grew much slower than humans. They would not grow up at all. They would only grow a little bit during each rain.”】
【“In addition, the two children’s physiques are much better than ours. They have strong vitality and amazing strength. For example, yesterday, it was Mile who carried you and the armor back alone. It was easy. I can’t do this.” Cummings laughed at himself, but rubbed the boy’s head proudly. 】
Children who can only grow up by the rain of time have the same characteristics as other creatures in the Ringwood. Does this mean that the children born by the Fool in the Ringwood will automatically become native creatures of the Ringwood?
Mu You nodded and continued to ask.
【You ask Yuehu and Yuedie. 】
【"Moon Lake is the most central lake in the entire Jielin Forest. It is the venue for the Wild Man Moon Festival Ceremony and the gathering place of Moon Butterflies. It can be said to be the most important area in the Jielin Forest."】
【"As for the Moon Butterfly, it is also called Soul Butterfly, Time Butterfly, and there are many names for it. It looks like a blue butterfly without a physical body. You should have seen many along the way. You can understand it as the mother of the earth, but it is not a concrete individual, but an ecological spiritual symbiosis, which is the world will extended from all the life and thoughts of the Jielin Forest.
In short, all organisms born in the Jielin Forest contain a Moon Butterfly. I even suspect that my wife and I have also bred Moon Butterflies in our long life in the Jielin Forest. It is precisely because of the Moon Butterfly that we have been recognized by the Jielin Forest that we can give birth to offspring here."】
The two people's introduction to the Moon Butterfly is very mysterious, but what they have seen along the way makes Mu You feel that it is understandable. The Jielin Forest does have its own operating system, and many places cannot be measured by the situation on Earth or the high sky world.
[Finally, you asked the two how they survived in a place full of monsters? ]
After a brief contact, Mu You found that the two fools were weaker than he thought. They were far inferior to him in terms of physical attributes and abilities, not to mention the monsters on the fourth floor. However, the two survived in this jungle for so long with such a weak body, and they seemed to be doing well.
Mu You was very curious about how they did it.
【Cummings smiled: "I understand what you want to ask. When we first came to the fourth floor, we also thought that such a harsh environment could not be survived for a long time by humans, but later we gradually discovered that it was only because we had not let go of the mindset of standing at the top of the food chain in the past."】
【"Weakness is not an obstacle to survival. There are many creatures in this jungle that are weaker than humans. Can't they all exist normally?"】
【"We are used to existing as rulers. No matter what environment we are in, we will naturally put ourselves in a position higher than other lives. We always want to conquer the environment, but in fact, there is never anything that is taken for granted. Humans are at the bottom of the forest environment. First of all, we must admit our weakness, put down our pride, and truly regard ourselves as a bottom creature, so that we can survive better in this world."】(End of this chapter)
