"In my hometown, there is a game called Werewolf. The rules are probably..." Mu You explained the rules of Werewolf to him.
Sirius was a little confused when he heard this: "What does this have to do with you jumping into the Moon Lake?"
"In Werewolf, the police badge is a very important thing, because it represents the right to speak, and it has been the focus of contention between good and evil from the very beginning. Once the police badge is obtained by the werewolf, the good guys will be at a huge disadvantage. In this case, the only way to make a comeback is to tear off the police badge first." Mu Youyou said.
"You want to kill the patriarch?" Sirius was startled: "But...the patriarch is not a parasite...Although he made a wrong decision, he still deserves death..."
Although he didn’t understand many terms, he also understood that the police badge should refer to the patriarch, and tearing off the police badge would mean...
“Why should I kill him? Tearing off the police badge is just a metaphor, which means to take back the right to speak.”
Mu You shook his head and smiled: "Whether the clan leader is a werewolf or not, it actually doesn't matter anymore, because he has been coerced by a werewolf. At this moment, there must be countless parasites lurking around the clan leader, which means that even if we find a way to make him recognize It's useless to know the truth. It's impossible for a parasite to let the right to speak fall by the wayside. The moment the patriarch realizes the truth and wakes up, that's the moment he dies! And the dirty water of the patriarch's murder will definitely be poured on us. .”
Sirius was frightened when he heard this, but he also understood that what Mu said might become a reality, and once the clan leader died, the tribe would be leaderless and scattered. At this time, these parasites would come out together to call for help, and the dirty water would be wiped out. If you pour it on them, you can easily guide the direction of public opinion, because the vast majority of savages are ignorant people with too low IQs. They only follow blindly and have no ability to think independently. They will follow whoever has a louder voice. …
“What we need now is not to fight for the patriarch, but to create an identity with a higher voice than the patriarch, so that the vast number of savages can have the opportunity to hear and follow our voice.” Mu Youyou.
“So, this is why you want to jump into the Moon Lake?”
Sirius looked strange, he already understood what Mu You meant.
The person with a higher authority than the patriarch is naturally the only son of Yue Ji. Indeed, if the son of Yue Ji is born, between the patriarch and the son of Yue Ji, the people will definitely choose to follow the son of Yue Ji, without even thinking about it.
The question is, how can it be so easy to become the son of Yueji?
Sirius shook his head: "It's impossible. In the millions of years of history of the ancestors, the ancestors have such a son of the Moon Festival. What's more, you are not the ancestors. Your physique is so bad that you are not even as good as me... No , should be said to be worse than any other child in the tribe, you will definitely die if you jump into the Moon Lake!"
Sirius’s words are conclusive.
His own physique is considered to be the best among the entire ethnic group, but even so, it is not comparable to the legendary ancestors who can split mountains and split the earth at will, or even compared to the famous ancestor heroes in history. It's far worse, and these people can't withstand the corrosion of Moon Lake, so how can he?
Sirius is very self-aware of this, so he has never thought of becoming a living sacrifice. Keeping this body to protect the group is what he should do.
And now, Mu You, an outsider with an extremely weak body, actually offered to jump into the Moon Lake...Sirius really didn't know how he had such courage.
“I can’t tell clearly, but I have a feeling that I won’t die.” Mu Youyou said.
"Uh..." Tianlang looked strange. In the past few days that he and Mu You had known each other, Mu You's actions had always made him feel that he was a rational and pragmatic person. Why did he suddenly have a stream of consciousness at this time?
Mu You certainly didn’t do it on a whim. The reason why he said this was because his pocket watch gave him a hint.
After Mu You entered the sixth level of the Ring Forest, the three seeds of divine power, the seed of order and the seed of chaos in his mind had all gone silent. Only the seed of time remained active.
Just now when the two of them stepped onto the seventh floor, the pocket watch once again conveyed an idea to him.
This thought still flashed by, but it quickly disappeared in just a few seconds, and there was no movement after that.
But compared to the vague text in the game, this time Mu You himself felt it clearly: the pocket watch was encouraging him to enter the Moon Lake, and it was not the surface of the Moon Lake, but the deep layer of the Moon Lake.
Mu You didn’t know why the pocket watch wanted him to enter the Moon Lake, but he believed that the pocket watch would not harm him. He had been saved by the pocket watch countless times before, and there was no reason not to trust the pocket watch’s guidance.
Moreover, since Ava said that the mechanic is still at the bottom of the lake and has not died, it means that there should be some unknown survival mechanism below the lake. But what it is specifically, Mu You can only know it if he enters the lake first.
Looking at Sirius who was still full of doubts on his face, Mu You knew that he had to persuade Sirius first. Without Sirius's help, he would not have been able to approach Moon Lake under the guard of so many savages.
After thinking for a moment, Mu You looked at Tianlang and said, "I have been wondering why the son of Yueji did not appear long ago, but appeared in the era of the former king. Is it really because the physique of the former king is unprecedented and unprecedented?"
"Is it possible that it's not because the former king was so special, but because the Gods had just risen at that time, and Jie Lin and the ancestors were on the verge of life and death. Yue Lake needed such a figure as a spokesperson to turn the tide, so Yue appeared. Son of sacrifice.”
“And now, Jie Lin and the ancestors are once again on the verge of overthrow…”
…”
Sirius was surprised when he heard this. This was the first time he heard this point of view, but surprisingly he didn't find it surprising. After pondering carefully for a few seconds, he nodded: "It makes some sense."
“Okay, I’ll help you!” Sirius made a quick decision.
The main reason is that there is no better way at the moment. As for whether it is appropriate to let outsiders jump into the Moon Lake? This Sirius is no longer entangled, because according to their inference, the living sacrificers in the past three hundred years are all parasites. Without the tribe's knowledge, thousands of foreigners have jumped in openly. Moon Lake is now as good as Muyou.
Sirius looked outside the jungle at the densely packed patrols.
The problem now is how to send Mu You to Yuehu in full view of the public.
Sending Mu You alone to the Moon Lake is much less demanding than meeting the village chief to explain the situation, but it is still very difficult.
Then the two of them searched the area along the edge of the seventh floor, but failed to find a position where the defense was slightly lax.
It is still daytime, and the moon festival has not yet started, but the defense is already so tight. When the full moon appears at night and the moon festival officially begins, the spirits of these sentries will only become more tense. I am afraid that any disturbance will be noticed immediately. .
Mu You misses the vampire's ability to transform very much at this moment.
If he can transform into a savage, he can easily blend into the savages below, disguise himself as a sentinel, and approach Moon Lake naturally. It's a pity that all his divine abilities except time are completely blocked here.
And time can only stand still for ten seconds. For ten seconds, it is almost impossible to travel such a long distance to the Moon Lake.
“It would be nice if there was wind…”
Mu You felt the airflow around him. The four abilities he inherited from Qilin all need to be used in the wind. However, the airflow on the seventh level was terrifyingly calm.
According to Tianlang, during the Moon Festival, the entire Ring Forest will become calm and peaceful. Sword wind and rain have never occurred during the Moon Festival since ancient times.
Mu You is having a headache as it is difficult to activate his wind riding ability without natural wind.
A wisp of air suddenly passed by and blew his whistle.
"Huh?"
Mu You was stunned for a moment, was the wind blowing?
Mu You has already guessed a possibility: there is only one creature that can control the wind in Jie Lin - the wind unicorn.
"who?"
Sirius didn't notice the breeze, but suddenly turned around, nocked an arrow from his bow, and quickly shot an arrow somewhere behind him. As a result, the arrow hit some hard object ten meters away from behind, and landed with a clang, obviously failing to achieve any success.
Sirius had already prepared the second arrow in an instant, and was a little frightened at the same time. He didn't even notice that he was being touched so close. This person was definitely a master!
Mu You also stared at the grass with vigilance and prepared for battle.
There was a rustling sound in the grass ahead, and then a big hand reached out and opened the leaves. A dark-faced savage holding a spear emerged from behind the grass and smiled playfully at the two of them: "Huh? It's really you..."
Mu You and Tian Lang were startled when they saw the person coming, and then their eyes lit up: "Muro!"
Yes, the person coming is none other than Muro.
"Weren't you blocked outside? Why did you appear here..." Mu You was a little strange.
Muro scratched his head: "After you left, I had been waiting for you to come back in that cave... But just two days ago, I suddenly found that the ring stone behind the black hole had been removed, so I drilled come over."
"oh?"
Sirius was a little surprised. Those three large ring stones were not something ordinary people could move. Even he needed the cooperation of at least three or five people to move them.
“Then how did you find us?” Sirius asked.
"After I came to Jie Lin, I immediately rushed towards the tribe. There was a wind on the road that kept pushing me forward and accelerating me. I was able to rush back to the tribe in just two days. It was also the wind that brought me here just now. Here," Muro explained.
“Sure enough, it’s Feng Qilin!” Mu You’s face lit up, confirming this completely.
Those ring stones are indeed heavy, but it is not a problem for Qilin.
Mu You's unicorn arm has the ability of "infinite strength". As long as it steps on the ground, it can burst out a steady stream of power. Of course, it is said that there is a limit to the steady stream. After all, it is just a broken arm.
Mu You had tried it before in that cave. He couldn't push the three stones with his Qilin arm, but if he used a real Qilin, it would definitely be no problem.
Mu You quickly glanced around and found no trace of Qilin.
But he knew that Feng Qilin must be nearby. Qilin should have seen everything he and Tianlang said and did, but he just didn't want to show up in front of others.
"etc…"
Mu You suddenly realized that the reason why Feng Qilin accepted him before was probably not because he mistakenly recognized him as a child, but because he felt the mission in him.
Since Qilin specifically let Muro in at this time, and also guided the three of them to successfully reunite, it shows that Qilin supports his actions, and may even help them after the moon festival begins.
With the help of Qilin, the next step will be much easier!
…
That night, the moon was bright and the stars were sparse. The moon was like a disk, hanging high in the sky.
The creatures in the Ring Forest are all sensitive to moonlight, and the moonlight tonight is particularly bright. With such roundness, even the little caterpillars at the edge of the forest can clearly realize that the night of the moon festival has arrived.
The entire Ring Forest fell into rare silence. All creatures were hibernating in their own homes, suspending all disputes and hunting, and quietly feeling the moonlight.
On the seventh floor, close to the core of Moon Lake, there was a lively scene.
A large number of savages gathered in the open space in front of Moon Lake, singing and dancing. Along the periphery of Moon Lake, a bonfire was lit, and melons, fruits and meat were placed all over the ground.
For the savages, today is the most important festival of the year.
Some female savages wore brightly colored clothes and danced around the campfire.
And more savages faced the direction of Moon Lake, with pious faces, and sang an ancient song together.
Of course, while preparing for the celebration, the vigilance and protection of the surroundings have not been relaxed at all.
Tens of thousands of sentries are evenly distributed around the seventh floor, all tense and alert to all disturbances around them.
The distance between sentinels will not exceed three hundred meters, ensuring that each sentry is within the sight of at least two other sentinels.
At this time, somewhere on the edge of the seventh level far away from Moon Lake, Muro walked out of the jungle with a spear in hand.
A savage sentry not far away was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly ran over to stop Muro. He looked at him, saw his sentry uniform, and frowned: "Brother, are you in the wrong position? This should be my defense. area!"
“No, you’re right.”
Muro spoke calmly, and his words were extremely fluent: "The patriarch said that this corner area is very critical. If the enemy comes, it is likely to break through here, so you need to send more people. I am here to help you."
…”
The savage didn't expect Muro to speak so fluently. He took a closer look at Muro again, but it turned out to be a face he had never seen before.
He was a little unsure for a moment whether this person was one of his own.
At this time, Muro added meaningfully: "The three elders Youman, Aaron, and Reeves personally ordered me to come here."
The savage’s eyes lit up when he heard this. These three elders are all "one of our own". Originally, he was going to match the codes, but since the other party directly named the three elders, there is no need to bother anymore. This is definitely one of his own.
The corner of the savage's mouth curled up, showing a tacit smile, and patted Muro on the shoulder: "Thank you for your hard work, brother, I'll go pee."
After speaking, the savage hurriedly walked towards the trees behind and disappeared into the darkness.
It's a pity that once he left, there was no chance of coming back.
On the left and right sides, the other two sentries naturally discovered the situation here. However, after seeing the smooth handover after the conversation between the two, there was no abnormality. They thought it was just a temporary shift change, so they did not pay too much attention and quickly diverted their attention.
Therefore, neither of them noticed that just when they looked away, two black shadows passed by among the trees above Muro like lightning, quickly passed through the jungle, broke into the seventh floor, and disappeared. (End of chapter)
