Chapter 1862 The True Origin of the Mumu Tribe

"What on earth did you do?" Joe, who had just returned from the outside, was shocked when he learned that the pioneering group had set off, because this was completely beyond his original plan. Later, he learned from his own people in the camp that Bernan Dou made the decision to leave early because of Leo, so he ran to Leo's camp angrily and asked Leo: "Why did Bernardo change his plan and enter the jungle before the manpower was prepared? "

Leo, who was studying the folklore of the Novat continent, put down a folklore book on the inland kingdom in his hand, looked at Qiao, and replied calmly: "I just put the fact that the Mumu people have a lot of gold in his hands. Just in front of me.”

"Fact?" Qiao was stunned, and soon realized something, and said in a deep voice: "Have you been to the Mumu tribe?"

Leo nodded.

At this time, Joe thought of his subordinate Jenkins. Originally, Jenkins' mission was to explore the jungle where the Mumu tribe was located and find a safe path for the pioneering team. However, as a result, Jenkins arrived at the rendezvous point in advance without completing the exploration mission. He asked why, and Jenkins just said that he met a person in the jungle. The person told him that it would be very dangerous to continue walking deeper into the jungle. At that time, he was curious about that person and asked Jenkins who that person was, but Jenkins He didn't say anything, but now that he thought about it, that person might be the person in front of him.

Thinking of this, he asked tentatively: "Is that you the person Jenkins met in the jungle?"

"Yes." Leo nodded and said, "Although that man has some abilities, his abilities are not enough to allow him to survive without understanding the dangers of the jungle. I saved him."

After hearing this, Joe didn't know what to say for a while. He knew very well what Jenkins was capable of and how dangerous the jungle in the area where the Mumu tribe was located was. Even he couldn't guarantee that he could survive without someone to lead him. Pass there safely, so he sent Jenkins to the Mumu tribe to investigate the situation, and wanted to use his ability to find a safe way. Unexpectedly, Leo persuaded him to go back halfway, which undoubtedly affected his plan.

That's why he ended his exploration work early and returned to the pioneer camp, intending to renegotiate the pioneering plan with Bernardo. The main reason was to postpone it for some time, but he didn't expect to find that the pioneering team had already set off when he came back. This made him His plan was completely messed up.

"Since you have gone to the Mumu tribe, you must have explored the jungle around the tribe?" Qiao thought for a while and asked.

"Of course." Leo nodded, and before Joe continued to ask, he added: "I have drawn a detailed topographic map for Bernardo and marked all safe and dangerous locations. If If Bernando doesn't seek death himself, there won't be many casualties when they reach the Mumu tribe." As he spoke, he paused, as if he was calculating something, and then said, "It will only take seven days at most. The first batch of gold burial objects salvaged from the Lake of Gold have been delivered to the camp. When you use the excuse of searching for gold veins to propose a plan to find and explore the underground world, no one should object. They should I am very willing to support this plan. I think it should not conflict with the goals of your plan, and it will be more efficient, what do you think?”

After listening to Leo's words, Joe was silent for a while, with a thoughtful look on his face. Just as Leo said, although the pioneering team was afraid of entering the jungle ahead of time and disrupted his plan, the goal of the plan was not On the contrary, the change has accelerated a lot. The only thing that needs to be worried about is the chain reaction caused by a large amount of gold, but that should be a few months later. By then, his goal has been achieved, and the Bernando pioneering group and the Mumu tribe Everything else has nothing to do with him.

Thinking of this, his originally a little angry mood also relaxed, but he was still a little uneasy in his heart. After all, this kind of plan was completely beyond his control, which gave him the illusion that the chess player had become a chess piece.

"Are the Mumu people an indigenous tribe in the New World?" Just as Qiao was deep in thought, Leo suddenly asked an unexplained question.

Qiao didn't understand what Leo meant for a while. He was stunned for a long time before saying, "Of course it's an indigenous tribe in the New World. Why do you ask that?"

Leo looked at Joe and said, "Because I found that the Mumu people are different from us and other indigenous tribes in the New World."

In the past two days, Leo has repeatedly tested the crystal of divine power. As a result, not only the people of Novat Continent will be affected, but also the indigenous tribes have become irritable, warlike, and like chaos. And these indigenous tribes It was the Paho tribe that attacked Nags Head Bay.

Just one day ago, the indigenous tribes who attacked Ma Tau Bay appeared in the jungle near the pioneering group. They happened to be seen by Leo who was heading to the jungle. It seemed that they should have retreated from Ma Tau Bay and planned to They came here to check the situation before returning to the depths of the jungle, but they were very unlucky. The place they chose to camp happened to be not far from the place where Leo buried the divine power crystal, and it happened to be within the influence of the divine power crystal.

So, under the influence of the divine power crystal, they clashed over trivial matters, and then the old grudges they had accumulated erupted, and they started killing each other inexplicably. By the time Leo found them, they had almost killed each other. , and the rest are already crazy.

Because of this, Leo discovered that this crystallization of divine power also had an impact on the humans of the indigenous tribes of the New World, and even had a stronger impact than on the people of the Novat Continent. After all, when Leo affected the people of the pioneering group, there was still a lot of conflict between them. Being able to maintain a trace of rationality, the conflicts only remained with fists and feet, no weapons were used, and no lives were lost. However, this may also be related to Leo taking away the divine power crystal in time to eliminate the impact. Perhaps he placed the divine power crystal in the camp. As time goes by, the pioneering group will be in the same situation as the warriors of these indigenous tribes killing each other.

Because of this, Leo knew very well that under the long-term influence of divine power crystals, the mind and thinking would be affected, but the Mu Mu tribe was an exception, which made him think of a possibility, that is, the Mu Mu tribe might not be Humanity.

After listening to Leo's inquiry, Qiao was stunned again, then seemed to think of something related, his face became serious, and he said in a deep voice: "Did you discover something?"

"Caves, temples, statues of gods." Leo said three words. However, in the languages ​​of the kingdoms in the Novat continent that Leo knew, the word god did not exist. Leo could only use a word with a similar meaning instead. , at least it can be seen from Joe's expression that he understands the meaning of those two words.

"A big snake statue?" Qiao muttered, then remained silent for a moment, nodded slightly, and said: "The Mumu people are indeed different from us. The word Mumu means unusual people in the Paho language. I always thought it meant people from the Pahuo tribe, but during the time I stayed with the Mumu tribe, I realized that it meant non-human beings. The Mumu tribe actually has its own clan name, and their clan name is Shenzu. , which means descendants of gods.”

When Leo heard this, a trace of surprise flashed across his face. The reason for his surprise was not because of the inhuman words of the Mumu tribe, but because the words "descendants of gods" and "gods" in Qiao's mouth were not popular in this generation. Lute language is not any language spoken in the Novat continent, but the language of the Velen world, and it is a tribal language of the ancient Velen world. The source of this language happens to be the Gamorei language.

"Goddess, god?" Leo repeated these two words in a standard way, and then asked: "What language is this? Why haven't I heard this language?"

"This is the language of the Mumu people. However, most of this language has been lost, and only a few words are still preserved." Qiao explained, and then continued: "You are right, Mumu. The tribe is different from the humans in the indigenous tribes, and is also different from us. The newborns of their tribes will produce some mutant individuals from time to time. Some of these mutant individuals will be covered with birthmarks like leaves or vines. When they grow larger, these birthmarks will Hidden under the skin, these birthmarks will reappear once they become angry. When the birthmarks appear on the surface of the body, these mutant individuals will have extremely powerful powers, which allow them to fight against some extremely dangerous giants in the jungle. They are also the most powerful warriors. It is said that this is derived from the blood of their ancestors. If the number of these mutated individuals was not too small, the Mumu tribe might have replaced the Paho tribe as the largest tribe in the jungle."

After hearing this, Leo immediately realized that these so-called mutated individuals were actually some lucky ones with atavism in the bloodline of gods. If they were in the world of Velen, they might be enshrined as bloodline holy spirits by the church of gods. Some even They can become the pope or other powerful person of the church of the gods, but in this world, these mutant individuals will not be discriminated against. Instead, they will gain a lot of status because of their powerful power, at least among the Mu Mu tribe.

"The Mumu tribe also comes from the underground world, right?" Leo asked again.

Qiao didn't think much, nodded and said: "Although the Mumu tribe publicly stated that they are also an above-ground tribe, some of their tribe's own legends show that they should come from the underground, and it can even be said that they originated from the underground world now. Those who live.”

Leo asked: "Legend? Can you tell me what the legend is?"

Without thinking much, Qiao told Leo the legend he knew about the Mumu tribe. In fact, the legend was very simple. It meant that the Mumu tribe were originally people living on another continent, but the gods who protected them fell into When they were asleep, they could no longer live safely in that world, so they entered a place called the Black Forest through the instructions of the oracle, and then found an underground passage in the Black Forest and entered the underground world to take refuge. .

But after living in the underground world for two generations, they felt that the danger should have passed, so they wanted to return to the surface, but they found that the passage back to the surface had disappeared, so they once again appealed to their sleeping gods, They prayed to the gods for enlightenment, but although the gods did not give any answer, they were very lucky to find another passage, and then they followed that passage to the current continent, and part of them came to settle on the ground. , while the other part still lives underground.

Hearing this, Leo has understood that the Mumu tribe is indeed an ancient tribal race from the world of Velen, but they have lost most of their civilization during their migration in the past, and the current Mumu tribe is more A new tribe formed by absorbing the civilization of the indigenous tribes in the world of Velen.

From the legends told by Joe, when the Mumu tribe was in the Vilen world, they should have lived near the Black Forest of the Vilen continent, and they were able to enter the Black Forest to seek shelter because of the gods they believed in. This surprised Leo a little, because from the various situations he saw now, the gods believed in by the Mumu tribe were the Abyss Serpent, and in the Vilen world, the Abyss Serpent would not become a god, and even if it appeared in that world, it would be immediately besieged by the gods of the Vilen world.

However, Leo did not think that this was absolutely impossible, because he remembered that during the time he lived in the Black Forest, he seemed to have seen the shadow of the Abyss Serpent in the mural of the tree demon's temple. The mural was an image of a golden giant deer appearing in the world, and the gods of the world gathered at the feet of the golden giant deer to worship. There was a big snake in the relief of the gods of the world, but the body of the big snake was golden yellow. Although it also had a big bud, the color of the eyeball was not blood red, but silver white, which looked very sacred.

"Can the Abyss Serpent also become a god?" Such a thought emerged in Leo's mind, and then he shook his head again, but his expression was a little hesitant.

Although in his memory, there has never been the possibility of abyss creatures becoming gods, but what if it is the gods of the Black Forest? After all, the gods of the Black Forest are different from those gods of a single world, but are higher than the gods above many worlds. Only under the golden giant deer and under the power of the world tree, the Abyss Serpent may change its abyss nature and become the god of the Black Forest. This can also explain why the crystal of divine power can still play a certain role in this world. After all, no matter how powerful the laws of this world are, the underlying laws are still composed of the world tree, so the gods belonging to the world tree can naturally retain some of the power of gods under the restrictions of the laws of this world.

Thinking of this, Leo suddenly had a bold idea, because if the Abyss Serpent, who became a god of the Black Forest, can also play a certain role in this world, then what about the White Deer? This top-level existence among the gods of the Black Forest, can His divine power also play a certain role in this world?

Leo, who had this bold idea, immediately asked Joe to leave. He did not stay in the tent any longer, but left the camp and went deep into the jungle. Then he began to try to activate the power of the white deer contained in the wedding ring on his hand that had been blessed by the white deer.
