When the giants invaded the earth before, humans also had a parasitic crisis.
At the beginning, Mu You relied on letting all the suspected parasites die once, and then using miraculous divine power to resurrect everyone, so that he could survive the crisis.
And now? The savages cannot be resurrected. How can we pick out the parasites mixed among the savages one by one while ensuring that the savages are not destroyed?
Even if the parasites on the surface can be found, there must be many hidden spies secretly. Theoretically, as long as these parasites do not take action or expose themselves, they will never be able to find them.
Until one day, these spies suddenly attack at some important moments, and they can easily cause great damage. There is nothing more difficult to deal with than an enemy mixed among one's own people.
Mu You suddenly discovered that it was no longer a question of how to persuade the savages to unite, but a question of whether they dared to join forces with the savages again...
The savages who have been infiltrated by parasites have unknowingly entered a state of being overwhelmed and unable to recover. The reason why the parasites have not attacked yet is probably because the proportion of parasites is not high enough, at least not more than 50%.
If Mu You comes back later and the savages continue to be subtly infiltrated, until the parasites among the savages begin to become the majority, it will be difficult for the gods to save them.
Mu You shook his head and turned around to carefully observe the monuments of the past three hundred years, paying special attention to the cases of those who had returned after missing.
The results found that the minimum time interval between the time these people were lost and their return was only half a month!
In other words, it only takes half a month to complete the task of parasitic savages with the God-Eating Beast.
So, in the past three hundred years, all savages who have been away from the tribe for more than half a month should be counted as suspected parasites.
However, the savages are a very loose organization. Who would have nothing to do to keep an eye on another person's situation for a long time? Even if we are close friends, it is normal for us not to see each other for more than half a month.
Not to mention that most savages suffer from amnesia. How many savages can remember the last time they met another person? In a large group of savages, this kind of monitoring is simply impossible.
Even if she is Muro's mother, Mu You cannot completely rule out the suspicion that she is a parasite.
But there are two people who Mu You thinks can be trusted for the time being.
One is the leader of the savage tribe.
This is easy to understand. If even the most powerful person in the savage tribe has been parasitized, then the God-Eating Beast no longer needs to be as careful as it is now. There are many ways to use the power of the patriarch to coerce the tribe and quickly annex the entire savage tribe.
Hence, the patriarch should be trustworthy.
In addition, there is one person who can rule out suspicion, and that is the sharpshooter Sirius whom we met before.
The captain of the First Division has been in prison since a thousand years ago because he made a big mistake. He has never left the prison for so many years.
The existence of the prison has become ironclad evidence that Sirius is harmless.
However, one of the two people who attacked him before was the jailer responsible for guarding Sirius.
This is not difficult to understand, mainly because Sirius is too strong and has the protection of life imprisonment, which makes it almost impossible for him to leave the savage tribe, and there is no chance of being parasitized.
Such a powerful and intelligent savage, who has long been suspicious of what happened in Huangwu, is definitely a very dangerous person from the perspective of the God-Eating Beast.
But he can't be killed, and he has no chance to be parasitized. The best way is to send people to watch him and prevent him from contacting outsiders. As long as he is blocked from contact with other people in the tribe, he can be trapped in prison. middle.
It's a pity that the God-devouring Beast didn't expect Mu You to be a variable. It suddenly broke into the Ring Forest and was discovered by Sirius. He was led to the prison and had the opportunity to communicate with Sirius. Later, it was even entrusted by Sirius. to investigate what happened that year.
This is probably the reason why the jailer was eager to kill him: once he found out the truth and told Sirius back, Sirius would most likely rise up in resistance. With Sirius's strength and prestige, it would be enough to counter the current infiltration of the God-Eating Beast. Planning creates huge obstacles.
Thinking of this, Mu You already knew what to do next.
The more the enemy fears something, the more he needs to make it come true!
He alone is weak and an outsider. Even if he knew the truth, it would be difficult for him to affect the situation of the savage tribe, but Sirius could.
So the next step is to gain the trust and support of Sirius.
After clearing his thoughts, Mu You immediately disappeared into the wind and floated towards Tianlang's prison.
Sirius's prison was on the edge of the sixth floor. After Mu You approached, he did not appear directly, but wandered repeatedly in the nearby jungle several thousand meters away.
After all, one of the two guards in the distance is definitely a traitor. If Mu You appears directly, not only will he expose himself, but there is a high probability that the other party will not let him get close to Sirius again.
Mu You believed that with Tianlang's strength, he could easily detect his presence, and seeing that he was clearly coming but did not dare to get close, he should be able to understand what he meant.
Sure enough, after Mu You wandered nearby for a while, he saw the two jailers under the cage ring tree in the distance. It seemed that they had received some instructions from Sirius, and they left the vicinity and went far away.
After confirming that the two were separated, Mu You quickly approached, relied on his ability to ride the wind to reach the top of the Jiemu tree, and sneaked into the prison above.
Inside the prison, Tianlang saw Mu You who had lost his armor and appeared directly in a mortal body, a flash of surprise flashed across his face.
"what happened?"
“I found out the results about Huangwu.” Mu You went straight to the point.
"Oh?" Tianlang frowned when he heard this. Mu You had only left for less than two days. In such a short time, it might not even be enough to reach the Huangwu area. How could he complete the investigation?
However, he did not directly conclude that Mu You was lying because of this, and was prepared to listen to his side of the story first.
Mu You quickly informed Tianlang about the results of his previous soul search for the soul-eating beast and his guess about the whole matter.
When Mu You saw the savages in the Shining scenes, all with the word "一" tattooed on their arms, Sirius's eyes suddenly burst into light and he looked at Mu You intently.
“You’re saying that it’s possible that my men are still alive?”
"It's just possible. In the memories I saw, some of them are indeed still alive, but after all, that was more than a thousand years ago. I can't be sure whether there are still people alive today." Mu You wanted to remind him not to hug him Too much hope, a group of imprisoned and worthless savages. After so many years, the possibility of still being alive is slim.
“How do you prove that what you say is true?” Sirius asked with a frown.
Everything Mu You said sounded reasonable, but after all, it was all empty talk without any substantive evidence.
"I can't prove it. It depends on whether you are willing to believe me." Mu Youyou said.
All Mu You can do is tell everything, and then it depends on how Tian Lang chooses.
Tianlang's eyes flashed rapidly for a few seconds, then he raised his head and looked at Mu You carefully, and finally nodded: "Okay, I believe you for once, but not because of your words, but because of the wind and unicorn aura in you. I I don’t know your relationship with Qilin, but Qilin is a very sensitive creature. If you have any ill intentions towards Jie Lin, Qilin will not be able to accept you..."
“…Those two people are coming back, let’s go!”
Sirius suddenly glanced out the window, frowned slightly, picked up the bow and arrow on the ground, kicked open the cell door, then ran out of the cage, grabbed Mu You and jumped up, as fast as lightning, and disappeared into the trees. . A few minutes later, two savages came quickly through the jungle with buckets and wild fruits in their hands. They were the two jailers who had been pushed away before.
The two of them came under the Jiemu, looked at the broken door panels on the ground, and looked at each other.
The two of them quickly threw away the things in their hands and quickly climbed to the top of the Jiemu.
Seeing the broken door and the empty cage, both of their expressions changed drastically. They hurriedly jumped off the Jiemu and searched around, but did not find any clues.
“What should I do if he escapes?”
“I’m going to inform the elders. You go find other sentries to search for this person. This person is very dangerous. Remember to call for more people!”
"good!"
After a brief conversation, the two savages split up and left the place in a hurry.
Above a ring tree in the distance, Mu You and Tian Lang were hiding among the leaves, watching the two disappear.
"These two people are really traitors..."
Sirius looked gloomy and clenched his fists.
He could clearly hear the conversation between the two of them just now with his strong hearing. Not to mention the content, just the fact that the two of them could communicate so smoothly already showed that their usually silly state was all fake.
The reason for disguising is self-evident.
If Tianlang was still a little suspicious of Mu You before, now, he has completely believed Mu You's speculation.
Half an hour later, hundreds of savage sentries suddenly swarmed into the entire jungle. They began to conduct a blanket search with the prison as the center and scattered in the surrounding jungle.
Fortunately, Tianlang was strong enough and familiar enough with this forest. He led Mu You through the jungle flexibly, quietly avoiding all the searchers, and was not discovered by anyone.
In the gray-white jungle, a search team composed of four savages was exploring forward cautiously.
A gust of breeze suddenly blew from behind, bringing with it a black shadow that passed behind the four people like lightning.
“Who!?” The three savages in front turned around instinctively and followed the disappearing black shadow.
However, no one noticed that the last savage behind was pierced through the throat by an arrow flying from high altitude and nailed to the ground.
The three savages followed all the way and finally caught up with the black shadow hundreds of meters away. One of them threw a spear and accurately pierced the black shadow on a tree.
However, when the three of them got closer, they discovered that the black figure they were chasing was actually just a scarecrow dressed in black...
At the same time, on the other side, somewhere in a hidden cave.
The savage fell to the ground with a painful expression, clutching his throat, trying to block the leaking throat.
“Poof!”
Sirius on the side was holding a handful of white leaves with sharp edges, and he threw one casually. The leaf was like a flying knife, and it penetrated deeply into the savage's shoulder. The milky white poison immediately began to soak the flesh and blood tissue near the wound.
The savage suddenly grunted, sweating on his forehead. Under the severe pain, he instinctively opened his mouth wide and wanted to shout, but he could only make a muffled sound in his throat.
"This is the leaf of the heart-eating grass. The toxin of this leaf is very poisonous to many creatures, which can seal the throat at the sight of blood. However, this poison is ineffective on the physique of our ancestors. Instead, it will keep us awake. However, the side effects will be on us. It causes great pain, and each additional leaf will double the pain. It is the most commonly used method during internal interrogations of the Sentinel Force."
Sirius said with a normal expression, and casually stuck another leaf into the savage's leg. The savage's eyes widened again, and he was sweating like rain and shaking like chaff.
“The current record for Ancestor criminals to have endured 17 pieces of heart-eating grass. So, do you want to confess directly? Or do you continue to hold on and try to break this record?”
Sirius looked at the painful savages on the ground with a sneer, without any sympathy in his eyes: "Be honest, how many people have you parasitized in total?"
Mu You stood aside and looked at this scene with a slightly strange expression.
The savage in front of him is one of the two jailors guarding Sirius, and he is also the savage who killed his game character before.
Mu You was sure that this man must be a parasite, so he just used his wind ability to cooperate with Sirius to lure the others away, leaving this man alone and kidnapping him here.
Sirius is indeed a marksman. He sealed the throat with an arrow and directly penetrated the opponent's vocal cords, preventing the opponent from calling for help in time. Then he subdued the savage without any injuries in a short period of time. With a large number of savages around, The man was kidnapped here quietly without disturbing anyone during the whole process.
Mu You saw with his own eyes the whole process of Tianlang's attack, and he had to admire him. He was worthy of being the person who won the first prize in the savage martial arts fight back then. Even if Tianlang's strength was not the first among all the savages, he must be the top one. One of the batch masters.
“No, I don’t know…” a hoarse voice sounded.
When the wolf pierced the leaves into the savage's body for the ninth time, the savage's body trembled violently, and finally he could no longer hold on and opened his mouth.
"I don't know? Haha, it seems that the stimulation is not enough..." Sirius was obviously not satisfied with the answer. He sneered and picked up a leaf again.
The savage was so frightened that his pupils shrank, and he hurriedly added: "I really... don't know... we can't communicate with our minds in the Ring Forest... and we can only communicate with a few fixed people... Maybe only the tribesmen responsible for parasitism outside know the details. List…”
Sirius frowned when he heard this and asked, "Then how do you usually recognize each other?"
“Ordinary ancestors are very...stupid...generally just need to see if the other party can talk fluently..."
“Hmph.” Sirius snorted coldly, seemingly irritated by these words, and stabbed a blade into the savage’s body again, causing the savage to roll violently again.
"What about the advanced ancestors? How to identify them?" Mu You suddenly asked at this time. What the other party just said was ‘ordinary ancestors’, but there are still many ancestors who can have a smooth conversation.
"Encountering an unrecognizable situation...there is a fixed code..." The savage said this, his voice had become intermittent, his expression was extremely painful, and white smoke even started to appear from the top of his head.
“What’s the secret code?” Mu You asked hurriedly.
“The code is…is…”
The savage's pain seemed to have reached its extreme at this moment. His eyes suddenly opened wide, and his mouth, nose, ears and eyes began to bleed. Then he tilted his head and died on the spot. (End of chapter)
