With the death of four people, Sirius finally broke out of the trap.
When he came to Mu You, looking at the familiar figures in front of him, and then at the corpses of several savages on the ground, Sirius was both happy and ashamed.
Fortunately, Mu You is indeed the son of Yueji chosen by Yuehu, and has completely inherited the abilities of the late king. Now the crisis of the ethnic group should be relieved.
What makes him ashamed is...he actually confidently thought that he was the son of Yueji...
Sirius blushed a little. Thinking about it now, he was lucky to be caught in the trap of this group of people, otherwise he would have lost his life in vain if he had jumped into the lake.
Sirius was feeling embarrassed when he suddenly heard Mu You's voice.
“Help me cut their heads open.” Mu You pointed at several corpses on the ground and said.
Sirius was stunned for a moment, and soon understood what Mu You wanted to do. He picked up the spear from the side and cut open the heads of several wild men one by one.
As expected, the brains of the five savages were all mixed with that blue crystalline substance.
“Are they really all parasites?” Mu You breathed a sigh of relief.
Before the death of these five savages, the moon butterflies in their bodies were all somewhat strange. Mu You guessed that this state was most likely a parasite. This was only verified at this time.
This will be much easier to handle. Anyone with an incorrect status of the Moon Butterfly in the body can be considered a parasite by default.
Thinking about it, Mu You looked in a distant direction and suddenly froze.
Sirius followed his line of sight and was immediately shocked: "No, that guy escaped!"
At this time, on the outskirts of Moon Lake, above the largest altar there, Youman's figure had quietly disappeared.
Obviously, the other party saw that the situation was not good and ran away in advance.
“I’ll chase him!” Sirius hurriedly set off and chased in the direction of the altar.
withSirius— isn't sure if the others are parasites, but this guy must be, and he's also the leader of the parasite. He must not be allowed to run away.
Mu You actually wanted to say that there was no need for this. After he gained the ability to identify moon butterflies, all the parasites had no way to hide. Then all the smarter parasites would escape from the tribe directly. Jie Lin is so big. , they can't catch them all.
…
Yuman was alone in the dark jungle, running through the jungle without touching the ground, and ran wildly out of the forest.
After discovering that the Fool's prestige could not be suppressed, Youman decisively chose to leave the others and run away.
He was fortunate that the savages were not very intelligent, and the news of the birth of the Moon Festival's son had not spread too far. Some of the savages he encountered along the way were used by him as an elder to fend them off, and he successfully escaped from the seventh place. layer.
However, the enemy's actions were not slow. At this time, the sounds of some pursuing soldiers could be heard from behind, and some stray arrows flew past him from time to time.
Obviously, the pursuer has always grasped his direction. The one with such keen insight must be the Sirius guy. Youman cursed secretly and could only speed up his pace silently.
Fortunately, he was already very close to the exit of the sixth floor at this time. As long as he escaped from the tribe and entered the open wilderness, even Sirius would not be able to catch him again.
Soon, not far ahead, the wall representing the edge of the tribe appeared in view. Youman's face was filled with joy, and he climbed up the wall without hesitation and jumped into the dark jungle outside the tribe.
The moment he entered the shadow of the jungle, Youman breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that he was now stable.
However, before he landed, he felt a majestic figure appear in front of him. Youman couldn't avoid it and hit the figure directly, as if he hit a wall and was bounced back.
Youman landed on the ground, covering his **** nose, and raised his head blankly.
Under the illumination of the moonlight, Youman vaguely saw the face of the person in front of him, and cold sweat soaked his back in an instant.
Muro!
The person in front of him holding a spear and blocking his path with an expressionless face was Muro.
If it were other savages, he wouldn't be so nervous. Even if it meant a fight, his strength would be considered average among savages, and he would have a high chance of winning against ordinary savages.
However, he happened to meet Muro, the former captain of the sentry, whose strength was at the top level among the savages. He had absolutely no chance of winning.
“Where do you want to go in such a hurry?” Muro glanced condescendingly at Youman, and clenched his spear warily.
"Muro... you came just in time! You don't know yet, right? The son of Yuejie was born. He is the Fool who jumped into the lake yesterday. Now the son of Yuejie is looking for you. Go back and have a look!" Yuman's eyes were anxious. He turned and quickly thought of his words.
It's impossible to beat him. You can only try to escape with your mouth and see if you can fool him.
Yoman was looking forward to Muro's reaction. However, before the savage could speak, there was a sound from behind that made him feel as if he had fallen into an ice cave.
"Oh? Yueji's son was born? That's really gratifying..."
Under the moonlight, two more savage figures came through the jungle.
This time it was a man and a woman, and they were both acquaintances: the leader of the savage tribe, and Muro’s mother Secia.
At this time, the savage leader looked pale, his body was hunched, and he kept coughing. He looked like a critically ill person, and he had to rely on the support of Sethia on the side to barely move around.
"How could you...?" Youman looked at the patriarch in shock, somewhat in disbelief.
The patriarch, wasn't he sent someone away?
Moreover, before leaving, he specially arranged for a herbalist to inject the patriarch with a powerful paralyzing poison. Theoretically, he would not be able to wake up within a week.
But now, how could it be...
Looking at Muro and Sethia next to them, Yuman has already guessed the cause and effect.
Obviously, the team transporting the patriarch was discovered by the mother and son and intercepted!
What Youman didn’t understand was that, just to be on the safe side, he arranged two teams at once, a team of nearly fifty pure parasites.
No matter how strong Muro is, he can't fight fifty people by himself, right?
The only possibility is Sethia! The former chief herbalist of the tribe may not have strong fighting ability, but when it comes to the use of toxins, few people in the entire history of the tribe can match her.
As a well-known ‘poison master’, it is not surprising that he could kill fifty people in an instant, either intentionally or unintentionally.
As for the toxins on the patriarch's body, she was naturally relieved of them. Their parasitic herbalist's moral conduct was completely incomparable to that of Scythia.
“Yuman, don’t you think so? You tried all your tricks and finally fell into my hands!” The patriarch stared at Yuman and sneered again and again.
Youman knew that sophistry was useless, and his face turned completely cold.
Looking at the sickly patriarch in front of him, a fierce look flashed in Youman's eyes, and he suddenly became violent and rushed towards the patriarch, wanting to hold him on his back before he died.
The result naturally ended in failure, not to mention that Muro was watching not far away, and there was also a chief herbalist standing next to the patriarch, so no one could give him a chance to take action. Before Youman could approach, Sethia waved her hand lightly, and a ball of blue powder was sprinkled in front of her.
Before he passed out, the only thought in Yuman's mind was: Don't mess with the herbalist!
…
Half an hour later, the three patriarchs returned to the seventh floor with Youman, who was tied up.
With the attention of countless tribesmen around him, the tribe leader walked up to Mu You.
Looking at the young man in front of him, the patriarch had a complicated expression, with guilt, gratitude, and confusion in his eyes.
What he feels guilty about is that he didn't believe Mu You's words before and insisted on going his own way, which almost led to a big mistake.
Fortunately, the appearance of Yueji's son turned the tide in time and corrected all his mistakes, so that he did not become a sinner in history.
But what confused him now was the words of the late king.
The late king said that as long as they do not participate in the struggle between external forces and stick to the forest, the tribe can survive forever.
He couldn't understand why, even though he tried hard to abide by the instructions of the son of the ancestor Yueji, he brought the ethnic group to the edge of overthrow.
Could it be said that the late king’s last words were wrong from the beginning?
In fact, not only the clan leader, but also many savages who originally believed in the late king enthusiastically began to have doubts about the last words of the late king after this incident.
And behind this is the wavering of faith in the son of Yueji.
If even the words of Moon Festival's son cannot be guaranteed to be completely correct, then who should they listen to in the future?
Mu You looked at the confused old man in front of him and could probably guess what he was thinking. He pondered for a moment and suddenly said: "Actually, there is nothing wrong with the instructions left by your late king. It's just that you didn't implement them properly."
"oh?"
The patriarch was stunned, and many savages around him looked over in surprise.
The patriarch is already one of the recognized fanatical believers of the late king in the ethnic group. All government orders are basically formulated based on the last words of the late king. This does not count as being fully implemented, so what does?
"The last words of the late king were for all the ancestors to stick to the forest. The premise is to never step out of the forest to ensure the eternal survival of the ethnic group. But in fact, you have not done this. There are still many people who are in the forest every day. People are walking in and out of the edge of the forest, and the 'periphery of the Ringing Forest' is also regarded as the scope of the Ringing Forest. It is precisely because of this careless behavior that the God-Eating Beast is given the opportunity to parasitize you."
Mu You’s explanation made everyone present look at each other with expressions of sudden realization.
yes!
Just imagine, if everyone strictly abides by this commandment from the beginning and does not step out of the edge of the ring forest, how would the outside parasites have the chance to capture them alive?
Without enough experimental samples, it is even less likely that the enemy will have the opportunity to develop a parasite specifically targeting them, and the situation will not evolve into what it is today.
In the final analysis, they still have to blame themselves for misunderstanding the late king's intentions and loose management, which gave the enemy an opportunity to take advantage of them.
After thinking about it like this, the confusion on the face of the person who had doubts about the late king disappeared, and his absolute trust in the son of Yueji was restored again.
The clan chief let out a breath. What people fear most is not death, but the collapse of faith. At this time, Mu You's explanation finally made him let go of the knot in his heart. When he looked at Mu You, his eyes were full of gratitude and respect. .
“Please ask the son of Moon Festival to give us new revelations!”
The patriarch took the lead and knelt down towards Mu You.
When other savages around him saw this, they also knelt on the ground and repeated the words of the patriarch.
Mu You breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that at this point, he had completely conquered the hearts of this tribe.
As for revelation? The fundamental purpose of his coming here is, of course, to unite the savages to fight against the God-Eating Beast.
But before that, we must first pick out the hidden pests in the clan one by one.
“Calling all the tribesmen together to gather at the designated place of the tribe to be inspected by the son of the Moon Festival.” Mu You issued his first order.
With a single order, the entire group mobilized instantly.
The crisis of genocide, coupled with the birth of Moon Festival's son, made the entire ethnic group work together and act with rare efficiency.
Within just two days, all clan members, regardless of their position or age, including those patrol members who were on duty outside the Ring Forest, were all called back to the clan and walked in front of Mu You.
Mu Youzai carefully inspected all the savages who appeared. During the process, Tianlang and Muro were like two door gods, guarding him, followed by a team of savage masters.
Any savage spotted by Mu You will be taken down immediately. Those who resist will be killed on the spot, and then their brains will be cut open in public to verify whether they are parasitic beasts.
Facts have proved that Mu You was accurate at every point, there was not a single wrong case in the whole process, and all the people he named contained that blue substance in their brains.
Now the savages have no doubts about Mu You, and as long as they are clear in their hearts, they will obediently accept his inspection.
As for the parasites who were mixed in the crowd, it was torture at this time. They found that Mu You was accurate in checking and there was no chance of getting through. Many of these people chose to rush directly to Mu You and wanted to fight to the death, but they all Being easily captured by Tian Lang and Muro, Mu You didn't even have the chance to show off his instant kill ability.
In the end, after the first round of screening, a total of more than 120,000 parasites were screened out, and most of them were young and strong savages. This number surprised everyone. They never expected that the ethnic group had been penetrated to this extent.
This is still the case when many savages escaped in advance.
These savages who temporarily escaped, as well as the savages who were summoned but did not dare to show up, were all regarded as parasites by default, and they could be directly killed when encountered outside in the future.
All captured parasites were eventually executed. These parasites had built-in anti-torture mechanisms. Even if they were tortured, no useful information could be obtained, so they were simply killed to avoid future troubles.
After a round of screening, the clan is much safer, but Mu You knows that there must be some fish that have slipped through the net.
Those parasites that have escaped or hidden without showing up will sneak back into the community after being screened. This situation will not happen too often, but there will definitely be cases. Even in a modern society with highly developed information, those hidden in the community will definitely happen. Criminals and gangsters cannot be completely eliminated from the crowd, let alone such a backward social system as savages.
There is no other way. In this regard, we can only rely on Mu You to come back for regular screenings in the future to eliminate as many spies as possible.
Just when the savage tribe was in a state of panic, Mu You came to the moon lake alone again.
The Moon Festival will theoretically last for a week, but after the birth of the Moon Festival's son, the Eye of the Moon at the bottom of the lake will no longer be opened, so Mu You has no chance to enter the bottom of the lake to investigate.
“How is it?” Mu You asked.
The chameleon helmet appeared above his head, and Ava's voice came from it.
“No biological signals can be sensed underwater, and the probability of the mechanic being dead is 99.4%.”
…”
Mu You was silent, which almost made it clear that the mechanic was gone...
He has almost forgotten what happened after jumping into the lake that day. He only vaguely remembers that he saw the mechanic under the water with only one thought left.
The mechanic entrusted him with the Chixiao battle suit and talked to him a lot, but he couldn't remember the specific content.
"After the search, a large number of mechanical product design sketches were retrieved from the built-in circuit of the Chixiao Armor, totaling 1,004 pages, including 68 pages of drawings of the finished armor and uniforms, and 936 pages of drawings of various weapons, tools and accessories." Ava's The voice sounded again. (End of chapter)
