Chapter 680 Who Was Talked About?

Sethia's sudden question shocked the dozen or so savage elders in the audience. They subconsciously turned their heads to look at the others around them, their eyes unable to conceal their vigilance.

At the same time, more suspicious eyes were cast towards the savage elders who were confronting Sethia.

"Youman, you really need to explain this matter." The clan leader also looked at the other party and frowned.

Yuman is exactly the name of this savage elder.

Yuman was a subordinate he promoted personally. The two had worked together for many years. The patriarch knew this subordinate's character quite well. However, Yuman's actions this time were indeed a bit extreme compared with his usual style.

This also inevitably caused him to have some doubts.

"Clan leader, I saw this kid with my own eyes moving towards Yue Lake in a sneaky way. Although he didn't succeed, I'm sure that this guy must have some kind of intention towards Yue Lake!" Youman explained hurriedly.

"That's not necessary..."

The clan leader wanted to say that even so, there was no need to be so drastic and just kill him, but he was interrupted by Youman.

"Clan Chief, have you forgotten? What happened to that God Clan member back then... I also wanted to prevent the recurrence of what happened back then, so I cruelly took the killing blow..."

Yuman's meaningful reminder immediately caused the savage leader's expression to change.

He naturally knows what the 'things of the past' refer to.

Back then, the protoss who claimed to be a mechanic broke into the tribe of the ancestors regardless of the armistice treaty between the two tribes. He lived among the tribe for a long time, and finally jumped into their holy land, Moon Lake, in full view of everyone!

This incident caused an uproar among the clan back then.

Because up to now, the creatures that have entered the Moon Lake have always been native creatures of the Jie Forest. These native creatures were originally conceived by moon butterflies, nourished by the Jie Forest, and finally jumped into the Moon Lake. This is equivalent to falling off their leaves and returning to their roots in advance, returning to their mother's body. Naturally, there is nothing wrong with it. inappropriate.

But what about outside creatures entering Moon Lake? No one is sure what the consequences will be, whether it will offend Yuehu, or whether it will have any irreversible impact on Yuehu.

Whether it is emotionally or rationally, being jumped into the Moon Lake by an outside creature is unacceptable to the tribe.

The reason why this happened back then was because the clan leader at that time was soft-hearted and did not drive away the god clan immediately. Instead, he allowed him to live in the clan, which ultimately led to this disaster.

So after that incident, the then clan leader was forced to resign amidst a lot of scolding. It was not until a new clan leader was replaced, and no obvious changes happened in Yuehu, that the incident gradually calmed down.

Now, another outsider has come to the clan, and he is also wearing similar attire as the mechanic back then, and he also has some intentions towards Yuehu.

All this is so similar to back then...

"Clan leader, if he is not from my clan, his mind must be different!" Youman finally added, as if bewitching.

The patriarch's eyes flashed with light, as if he had been enlightened, and his originally hesitant expression suddenly turned firm.

"You are right. After all, I am an outsider. The Moon Festival is coming soon, so it would be good to eliminate these potential dangers in advance." The patriarch said in a cold tone, finalizing the matter.

"you!"

After hearing that the two men changed the nature of the matter in a few words, Sethia was furious and looked at the patriarch: "Can such obvious words of deception convince you? You are really stupid!"

"Presumptuous, Sethia, pay attention to your identity. Who allowed you to talk to the patriarch like this?" Youman stood up and angrily reprimanded.

"No matter what I say, it's not your turn to be a suspect to point out." Sethia sneered.

She has been the chief herbalist of the tribe since she became the chief herbalist. She is a veteran of three dynasties. In terms of seniority, the current chiefs can only be considered her juniors, so she has the confidence to speak like this.

"Suspect?" Youman narrowed his eyes: "Sesia, are you accusing me of being a parasite?"

"Yes, that's what I mean!" Sethia sneered, looked at the patriarch and said: "Patriarch, I suggest launching an internal review of Youman to thoroughly investigate his problems!"

Faced with Sethia's questioning in person, Youman did not panic at all. Instead, he smiled lightly and said: "Okay, okay, I am a parasite. What about the other people here? They did not accuse me with you. In your opinion, do they also A parasite?"

"This..." Sethia frowned. She was indeed suspicious of other people, but now she just wanted to point the finger at Youman first, and find out this person's problem first, and then talk about other people's matters.

At this time, the other party's words were obviously isolated and wanted to push her to the opposite side of everyone. Sethia instinctively wanted to refute, but was interrupted first.

"I am a 'parasite', but everything I do is for the safety of the ethnic group. But you, the so-called elder of the three dynasties, are trying your best to speak for an outsider. For this reason, you even do not hesitate to slander your compatriots and sow discord. You know that it will cause discord among the ethnic group." What are the consequences of a crisis of confidence?”

Youman had a sneer on his face, as if he suddenly remembered something, and said meaningfully: "Speaking of which, it seems that the machinist back then was taken in by your family. Now there are outsiders, who happened to be brought by your family." Yes, tsk tsk, history has never been similar...it's really hard to say who is the parasite..."

"you!"

Sethia was choked and couldn't speak. Her face turned red and she clutched her chest. Her chest was heaving violently and she was so angry that she almost vomited blood.

She never expected that the other party could actually throw the parasite's dirty water back at her, even insulting her family.

But Sethia had no way to refute, because it was a fact that they took in the mechanic back then. After the lake jumping incident that year, their family also suffered from the eyes of the tribe. Later, with the erosion of time, the tribe gradually let go of this matter. But she didn't want to be brought up again at this time, and it happened to be combined with the current situation. This angle was really tricky and caught her off guard...

"Okay, stop talking!"

Seeing that the situation was starting to get out of control, the patriarch made an unhappy voice and stopped the two from continuing to quarrel.

Looking at the people in the audience, everyone's faces showed fear, grievance, suspicion, and vigilance. It was obvious that the quarrel between the two had had a big impact on everyone, and an atmosphere of mutual suspicion had spread in the audience. Come.

The clan leader coughed and said seriously: "I believe that none of you here are parasites. You are all important backbones of the clan. You shine in the clan every day. I can see this. This kind of If it will arouse suspicion, please don't say anything nonsense in the future. We just have different positions. The original intention of what we do is for the safety of the ethnic group, so there is no need to argue."

After saying that, the clan leader turned to Sethia and softened his tone: "The teachings of the late king, as long as our clan does not actively participate in the battles in the outside world and defend the Ring Forest, it will last forever. Over the years, we have been following this Admonition, so the ethnic group has always been stable, and the population is also growing year by year, which shows the accuracy of the former king’s admonition!”

"Even if you don't believe me, you should still believe the late king, right?" the clan leader finally asked.

Sethia closed her eyes and sighed in her heart: Here we go again...

She knew the character of the patriarch. As a die-hard fan of the late king, she knew all the late king's sayings by heart, and she had always practiced the late king's teachings after taking office.

She had heard this sentence from the clan leader countless times before. Whenever she encountered something difficult to make, the clan leader would make a decision based on the teachings of the late king, and then use this sentence to silence others.

Of course, the late king's admonitions have indeed withstood the test of time, and they have never made any mistakes over the years. If it were other circumstances, she would not question this sentence, but this time, she was not sure...

"It's getting late, Sethia, please go back first. As for your son's matter... It's the Moon Festival ceremony now, and I really can't spare the manpower. I promise you that as soon as the ceremony is over, I will arrange manpower to pick up Muro. Come back." The patriarch said.

Sethia said nothing more, just nodded, then stood up and left calmly.

She already understood that with the current situation, even if she stayed, it would be impossible to argue for any outcome.

After watching Sethia leave, the patriarch let out a breath, leaned back on the chair and rubbed his brows.

Everyone in the hall looked at each other and dispersed, leaving only Youman.

A moment later, another savage suddenly ran into the hall and reported a piece of news.

"Clan leader, I just received news that Tianlang escaped from prison and killed a jailer who was guarding him!"

"What?" The clan leader stood up suddenly, the veins on his forehead jumped several times, and he was a little surprised.

"Are you sure? Did you see him kill someone with your own eyes?"

"No, we have searched the area and have not found the body of the missing jailer so far. However, arrows and blood stains were found at the location where the jailer disappeared. Judging from the situation at the scene, the arrow was shot from an extremely far away place. One arrow sealed the Throat, only Sirius has this kind of strength." The visitor said.

"This kid, what are you doing again..." The patriarch frowned, feeling that there seemed to be a lot of worries today, one after another...

"Clan leader, do you want to issue a fatwa? Escaping from prison and assassinating innocent members of the clan, according to clan rules, this should be a capital crime!" Youman suddenly stepped forward and whispered.

"Well, it's not necessary...the matter is not clear yet..." The village chief immediately shook his head. In his opinion, Sirius was not the kind of person who would kill innocent people indiscriminately. Besides, no body was found, so he could not be sure that the person was dead. Maybe Sirius just captured the person alive or knocked him unconscious. In short, the identity of Sirius He is special and has great influence in the clan. Before the cause of the matter is understood, he must not be sentenced to death casually.

Youman's eyes turned and he continued to persuade: "But the other party has not escaped from prison long ago, but he did something before the moon festival. Could it be to destroy the moon festival? If he is not caught in time, what if he interferes? What about the moon festival?”

The clan leader frowned when he heard this, but still shook his head after a few seconds: "Don't worry, although this guy has a radical temper and occasionally gets into trouble, he is absolutely loyal to the clan. I can vouch for this."

He and Sirius knew each other and were very familiar with each other, so he understood each other's character very well. With Sirius's strength, he could escape from prison at any time, but he was willing to be imprisoned in a tree prison for thousands of years without complaining. This alone is enough to show his loyalty to the tribe.

"Don't worry about him. At present, everything is focused on the Moon Sacrifice Ceremony. After the Moon Sacrifice is over, it won't be too late to settle the score with him." The clan leader said.

He estimated that this kid had gone outside again to look for clues about the Huangwu incident. He knew that Tianlang had been thinking about this matter for thousands of years and had not let it go yet.

Seeing the patriarch's repeated defense of Sirius, a cold flash flashed in Youman's eyes, but he quickly hid it. After thinking for a while, he said: "Then at least arrange more people to patrol the seventh floor to prevent any accidents!"

"Well, that's fine. It's better to be careful... Then send more people to surround the seventh floor. No unknown people should be allowed to approach the Moon Lake in the near future." The patriarch nodded and said seriously.

After watching Youman and another person leave, the patriarch stood in the empty hall.

After the affairs were explained, his brows were still furrowed.

For some reason, he felt a little flustered from time to time recently, and the closer he got to the Moon Festival, the more obvious this panic was. This made him always feel that something big would happen in this year's Moon Festival.

...

Ring Forest, the edge of the seventh floor.

Mu You and Tian Lang, who painted their bodies gray and white, carefully hid in the bushes, looking at the dense patrol team below, and their scalps tingled.

"It seems that your patriarch has been bewitched..." Mu You said.

Tian Lang looked a little embarrassed.

When he first came to the seventh floor, he was still hoping that the chief would be able to detect something wrong through his actions and deliberately reduce some of the sentries around him to give him a chance to meet.

Unfortunately, he seemed to have overestimated the chief's intelligence.

Instead of reducing the sentries, the chief greatly increased the patrol team. At this moment, almost all of the tens of thousands of sentries on duty on the sixth floor were mobilized here, surrounding the seventh floor. There was a sentry every five steps and a sentry every ten steps. Even Tianlang could only feel helpless when looking at this situation.

Tianlang was having a headache, and suddenly felt something, narrowed his eyes, and raised his longbow to somewhere behind him.

"Wait..." Mu You reached out in time to stop Tianlang's action.

Tianlang didn't shoot this arrow, because he had already noticed that the breath that appeared behind him had no malice.

Mu You waved his hand beside him, and a mechanical helmet suddenly appeared in the air and floated towards Mu You.

"How is it? What did you find out?" Mu You asked.

He knew that Ava should be fine. With the induction of the mechanical heart, as long as he came to the seventh floor, Ava could sense his location and take the initiative to find him.

Then Ava told the two about her experience.

After the armor was destroyed before, it was not destroyed, but it was invisible in time and fled the scene, so it was not discovered by the enemy. Then, relying on the concealment characteristics of the chameleon, it tracked the savage who blew himself up and found a group of other parasites.

"... According to the current intelligence, among the permanent personnel on the seventh floor, at least ten people have been confirmed to be parasites, all of whom are in high positions, and three of them are elders!" Ava said.

"Can you clearly distinguish the faces of these ten people?" Tianlang asked hurriedly, and secretly tightened the bow in his hand. If he could really identify the parasites directly, he could assassinate them remotely with one arrow, and reduce one enemy by one.

"Yes... but I don't recommend taking action now. There are far more than these ten parasites. According to the proportion, there are more than 400 parasites in the entire seventh floor, not to mention the large number of soldiers who have just poured in today. The proportion of parasites among them will be even higher." Ava keenly sensed the murderous intent of Tianlang, guessed his thoughts, and hurriedly dissuaded him.

"Alas..."

Tianlang sighed and released the bowstring. He knew that even if he secretly assassinated these people, it would not help. There are still thousands of hidden parasites. Doing so will only alert the enemy and make it more difficult to find parasites later.

However, in this almost dead end situation, he really couldn't think of a better way.

While Ava was talking just now, Mu You next to him didn't speak, but lowered his head and pondered something, and from time to time looked in the direction of Yuehu in the distance, frowning.

After a moment, he suddenly raised his head and looked at Tianlang with a serious expression: "I have a very important request, and I need you to help me complete it."

"Oh? What?" Tianlang was startled and asked casually.

"I want to jump into the Moon Lake!"

"What?" Tianlang's voice instantly rose eight degrees. (End of this chapter)
