Chapter 677: Jielin Version of Werewolf
Mu You was still immersed in the mechanic's question, and a series of red texts suddenly popped up.
His character was attacked!
In order to save him, Ava ejected him from the armor, but the price was that the armor was shattered by the attacker's punch.
Mu You was wondering what was going on. He just wanted to get closer to Moon Lake, but he hadn't taken action yet. Even if some savages thought he had ill intentions, they should have controlled him first, and they wouldn't have killed him directly, right?
This was not over yet. The savage who attacked him found that he didn't kill him with one blow, and immediately rushed up to prepare to finish him off.
Fortunately, the game character responded automatically, activating four wind abilities at the same time, and fled towards the direction of the meeting hall at the fastest speed. He didn't know what the savage was crazy about, but now it was obvious that only Cecia could save him.
[Using the time that Ava bought for you, you hurriedly hid in the wind again, drifting with the wind, gradually distanced yourself from the attacker...]
[Just as you were about to approach the building in front, another figure of a savage suddenly jumped out from behind the building, swinging a huge axe in his hand, and slashed towards you head-on.]
[You had no way to avoid it, and were cut in half by the axe blade...]
[Before dying, you barely saw the face of the savage who killed you: it was one of the two jailers who were responsible for guarding the Heavenly Wolf that you met on the sixth floor...]
[You are dead, your soul was attracted by the nearest soul-guiding lamp and returned to the green lamp...]
"..."
Looking at the death text that was completed in one go, Mu You frowned and was speechless for a long time.
He did not try any backtracking self-rescue operations. The delay of the text was far more than ten seconds. When he saw these texts, everything had actually happened.
Now there are more serious problems than being killed.
It would be fine if only one savage suddenly went crazy and wanted to kill him, but two savages actually attacked together, and there was obvious coordination between the actions.
In other words, this was not a spur-of-the-moment killing, but a premeditated attack!
Why?
The answer is actually already obvious.
He had just arrived and met these savages for the first time, so it was impossible for him to have hatred.
The only one who had a grudge against him was the God Devourer.
Mu You quickly realized that these two savages were probably parasitized!
On the surface, they looked like normal savages, but their inner thoughts had been controlled by the God Devourer.
The question now is, how many savages were parasitized?
It is unlikely that all the savages were parasitized, otherwise Mu You would not have died now, as he would have been pressed to death by countless savages as soon as he entered the savage camp.
And if only some of the savages were parasitized, these parasites were obviously perfectly hidden among the savages, but did not continue to infect others... This can only mean that these parasitized savages are probably no longer contagious.
"What's wrong?" The herbalist at the side saw Mu You's face change and asked.
Others also looked at Mu You.
Mu You explained the situation in the game to a few people.
"Hiss...even the officials of the wild people have been infiltrated?" The night watchman was very surprised.
If only one or two ordinary wild people were parasitized, the situation might still be under control. However, since the high-level personnel of the wild people have also been parasitized, it means that the infiltration of the God Devourer may have been quite deep!
"Is it the red God Devourer..." The herbalist pondered.
Lin Xue said at this time: "It seems that the God Devourer has successfully studied this mutant parasite, but this parasite seems to be able to parasitize only one single body."
"Moreover, looking at Muro's previous situation, it can be guessed that this parasite parasitizing the savages may need a tug-of-war for several days, until the savages' spirits are exhausted to be weak enough, and then the parasitism can be truly completed."
"And during the tug-of-war, the parasitized savages will be like Muro at that time, crazy, unable to distinguish between friend and foe, and extremely painful... If this weird situation occurs in the savage tribe, other savages will not be able to fail to notice it, so it is very likely that the parasitism process is not completed in the savage tribe, but outside the Ring Forest..."
The missing people registered on the stone tablet?
When reminded by Lin Xue, Mu You immediately remembered the stone tablet forest he had seen before.
At that time, the stone tablet was densely filled with historical missing people, but many of them returned again after a period of disappearance.
Is it possible that some of these missing people were not lost, but were captured alive by the God-Eating Beasts from the outside world and then parasitized by force?
After the parasitism is successful, the people will be released back to the Ring Forest. In this way, these parasitic savages can sneak into the savage tribe without being noticed, continue to live, and even trick more savages to leave the Ring Forest, and then be captured alive by the God-Eating Beasts from the outside world to create more parasites...
It's a pity that Mu You didn't look at the ring tablets carefully at that time, otherwise, he should have found some clues at that time.
"It seems that it is necessary to go to the savage tribe in person..." Mu You suddenly stood up and said.
"Go in person? Too risky, right?" The night watchman was surprised to hear this.
How vulnerable humans are in the Ring Forest, Mu You had told them before, even with the protection of the armor, he was still completely abused by the savage children.
What's more, now that the armor has been destroyed, Mu You is equivalent to going deep into the savage tribe in his mortal body, surrounded by people who can kill him at will.
The real person has passed away, but there is no chance of resurrection. Once discovered by those parasitic savages...
"There is no way, I have to take this risk..."
Mu You shook his head. There were too many restrictions on the game characters in the Ring Forest. The high delay caused both of his time abilities to be disabled. This was the main reason why his combat effectiveness was greatly reduced.
Moreover, he needed to get close to Yuehu to verify what the prompt from the time pocket watch was. I have tried it before. It is impossible to get close to Moon Lake using game characters. He can only go there in person.
Without further ado, after making some simple preparations, Mu You set off directly to the Star Spirit Realm, and then passed the Order Server and arrived at the City of Order.
After half a month, the scrapped Void Walker armor has been basically repaired.
Mu You tried using the Heart of Machinery and the Moon Stone to activate the armor.
The Void Walker was indeed successfully lit.
It's a pity that this original armor, which is said to have the ability to instantaneously shift, cannot go wherever it wants to go. It can only teleport to the coordinates that the mechanical heart has reached.
Fortunately, the mechanical heart had been in the game character before, following him all the way to the seventh level of the Ring Forest. Now Mu You can teleport to any coordinates in the Ring Forest at any time he passes along the way.
After confirming that the Void Walker could be used, Mu You did not set off in a hurry, but first went to find the Blood God and Catalina. To be precise, he found the red God-Eating Beast that had been extracted from Muro's body.
A moment later, Mu You saw the red jellyfish sealed in a transparent container again in a laboratory in the center of the city.
This mutated parasitic beast has certain research value, so it was not killed. However, this thing is still very dangerous. Once it is released, it will be very troublesome to parasitize into other people's bodies, so it can only be kept in an order where parasitism is prohibited. In the city, the Blood God was also asked to take care of it personally.
The Blood God has blood suppression on this little thing, and only when she is present can this little thing feel at ease.
At this time, as Mu You approached the experimental table, the red jellyfish in the container suddenly went crazy, stared at him fiercely, and began to hit the inner wall crazily.
Looking at the condition of this little thing, Mu You was also a little surprised. After being locked up for so many days, without eating or parasitic in the body of any living thing, not only was he still alive, but he still looked alive... This vitality was a bit scary. .
On the table nearby, Lilith, who was placed in a birdcage, stared suddenly. The restless red jellyfish suddenly seemed to have been struck by lightning and slumped in the container.
"Let's begin." Lilith suppressed the jellyfish and then looked at Mu You.
Mu You nodded.
After the battle in the City of Order, Mu You has achieved freedom from the blood of God, and he has directly upgraded the vampire's sub-faith to the second generation of vampires. He has accumulated a lot of blood law points. Before coming today, Mu You has already Click the 'Soul Search' and 'The Shining' blood laws to the full level.
He came here specifically to find this god-eating beast this time just to search its soul and confirm some things from its memory.
Mu You stared at the red jellyfish, his eyes gradually becoming bloodshot, and scenes of flashes appeared in front of his eyes, all scenes he had seen since the creature was born.
As Mu You began to search for souls, the jellyfish in the container suddenly began to struggle fiercely again, but was suppressed by Lilith on the side and was unable to cause any waves.
After several minutes, Mu You finally withdrew his gaze and closed his eyes in meditation, carefully recalling all the details he saw.
After a moment, he sighed and opened his eyes.
"How? Did you find the result you wanted?" Lilith asked.
At this time, in the container, blood splashed everywhere, and the whole body of the red jellyfish exploded. The body was twisted and limp on the ground. It was completely motionless and was obviously dead.
"Well..." Mu You nodded.
This time he searched the soul more thoroughly than Lilith did before, so he directly killed the god-eating beast.
In return, Mu You finally found the picture he wanted.
In this jellyfish's memory, the ancestors who were captured for human experiments each had a number representing 'one' embroidered on their right arm.
Mu You had seen this kind of number tattoo on Muro before, but the one on his body was 'three'.
Muro’s three represents the ‘Third Division’, and Muro is the captain of the Third Division. By analogy, the ‘one’ on these people naturally represents the ‘First Division’…
In other words, the savages in these The Shining scenes were all members of the First Division of the Savage Sentinels at that time, that is, the subordinates of ‘Sirius’!
Combined with the time when Tianlang led his team to encounter Huangwu outside, and the time when God Killer and Seam God entered the City of Order, Mu You has vaguely guessed the cause and effect:
One thousand and four hundred years ago, Sirius led his 472 members to open up wasteland on the east side of the Ring Forest. They accidentally encountered Huang Wu, and almost the entire army was wiped out. Only Sirius escaped by relying on his strength.
However, these men of his did not die in the hands of Huangwu, but were transferred to the hands of the God-Eating Beast.
The God-Eating Beast conducted a large number of human experiments on these savages and developed this red God-Eating Beast that could be effective on the savages. The people responsible for researching the mutants at that time most likely included God-Slayer and God-Sewing.
However, the red mutant that was just developed still had flaws, and its fatality rate was too high. Only savages with enough vitality and tenacity could survive, and it would be difficult for ordinary savages to complete their parasitism.
At that time, the City of Order was open, and Zhan Shen and Feng Shen were appointed to develop the City of Order, so they brought a group of red jellyfish to the City of Order to continue their research. The jellyfish parasitizing Muro was one of the mutants they brought at that time.
After that, the two sides split up and conducted their own research, which has continued to this day.
Unexpectedly, Zhan Shen and Feng Shen did not produce any results, but the experimental base on the other side made a breakthrough first. They should have developed a more perfect parasite and began to capture wild people outside the Ring Forest and create parasitic wild people to send back to the Ring Forest.
After thinking through all this, Mu You sighed a little.
Tianlang's feeling was right. At that time, Huangwu did have other purposes. The troops that tracked Tianlang were not to kill them, but to capture wild people alive.
Now the only question is: Why did Huangwu do this?
There should be no conflict between Huangwu and the wild people. Why did it capture the wild people and then hand them over to the God Devourer?
Could it be that Huangwu and the God Devouring Beast had reached some kind of agreement, and Huangwu fell to the camp of the God Devouring Beast?
…
Half an hour later, in front of the entrance to the first floor of the Ring Forest.
Accompanied by the silver-white stream of light, a figure of mechanical armor appeared out of thin air at the edge of the Ring Forest.
The next moment, Mu You walked out of the Void Walker, looked at the surrounding environment, and stretched out his hand to the side.
The herbalist, the night watchman, and Linglong, three clones appeared beside him one after another.
Of course, these three are just the game characters of the clones.
"Is this the Ring Forest? It looks spectacular!" The night watchman looked at the surrounding environment and was amazed.
The herbalist and Linglong did not speak, but they also looked around and hurried to familiarize themselves with the environment.
"This is the map that records the activity area of Huangwu." Mu You handed the map given by Tianlang to the herbalist.
He specifically called the clones here to investigate the matter of Huangwu. He needed to return to the Savage Tribe next, and he didn't have time, so he could only let the clones do it for him.
"OK, let's watch us! Main body, be careful." The three of them didn't say much, took the map and set off immediately.
"Remember to walk along the edge of the Ring Forest. As long as you don't step into the range of the Ring Forest, you won't be suppressed by the Ring Wood." Mu You reminded.
After watching the three people walk away, Mu You returned to the Void Walker, activated the armor again, and located the transmission coordinates in the sixth floor of the Ring Forest, in the stone tablet forest in the Savage Tribe.
The Void Walker made a rumbling sound, turned into a stream of light, and disappeared on the spot.
The next second, when the line of sight was restored again, Mu You opened his eyes and saw that he had indeed arrived in the stone tablet forest. The densely packed black ring tablets in front of him were neatly arranged, like a large cemetery.
At the same time, because the Void Walker went deep into the Ring Forest, like the Black Angel before, all the parts of his body were directly shut down and could no longer perform any operations.
Mu You hurriedly drilled out of the Void Walker manually and looked around.
Fortunately, there was no one nearby.
Next, Mu You activated the Wind Hermit ability, dragged the armor to the woods behind, and hid it in a hidden place.
After doing this, Mu You returned to the stele forest, remained invisible, and read the information on the stele one by one.
I didn't have time to take a closer look in the game last time, but now I came here in person and took a closer look, and I found the problem.
The number of missing people each year on the stele five hundred years ago was quite normal, with slight fluctuations, but it always remained within a hundred people per year.
Until a certain year three hundred years ago, the number of missing cases on the stele suddenly increased! From dozens of missing people each year, it suddenly rose to hundreds or even thousands of people each year, and the average number increased by more than ten times!
In other words, the God Devouring Beast may have completed the research on parasitic savages three hundred years ago, so it began to capture and parasitize savages on a large scale.
And among these missing people, about one-third of the population finally returned to the tribe.
According to their previous analysis, the probability of these people being parasitized is extremely high!
Mu You looked at the dense inscriptions in front of him, and his scalp was numb.
For three hundred years, hundreds of savages have returned after disappearing every year. How many savages have been parasitized in the Jielin Forest now?
And these are the registered populations. There are many missing people who have no chance to be reported...
Mu You dare not imagine how far the savage tribe has been infiltrated by the God Devouring Beast.
The most important thing is that these savages are mixed with ordinary savages. Unless they expose themselves, there is no way to distinguish them.
Every savage he meets next may be disguised as the God Devouring Beast! (End of this chapter)
