As the scenery changes ahead, you step into an even denser jungle. 】

[You have arrived, the sixth layer of the Ring Forest. 】

[Warning: In the current environment, the game text transmission has experienced a significant delay, you cannot transfer items through the game, and all text will be rendered with a delay of 30-45 seconds.] 】

After leaving from the Qilin Lair, Mu You spent a day and a night successfully reaching the sixth layer.

The delay really increased again, but Mu You no longer felt it, and it didn't make a difference to him whether the delay was twenty seconds or forty seconds, anyway, it was all a temporary operation of the game AI.

However, after having the talent of 'wind listener', he chooses those windy places to walk, and most of the things can be perceived in advance, and the danger is greatly reduced.

It is also with the cooperation of the Wind Listener and the Hidden Wind Person, as well as the other two abilities, that Mu You has become extremely smooth on the road again, not only can he hide himself, but also predict the dangers around him in advance, even if he is delayed for dozens of seconds, he still easily passed the sixth layer, and he almost did not encounter a battle in the whole process.

[A strong gust of wind blows, and you catch some information from the wind: faint human voices are heard in front of you, mixed with a few wisps of cooking smoke, bringing with you the aroma of some roasted food.] 】

Mu You was a little excited, but he could be regarded as having found the savage tribe, and after entering the ring forest for just a few days, he had a feeling of experiencing nine hundred and eighty-one difficulties.

[You walk in the direction of the smell of food, but the road is very quiet, only insects chirping, birds chirping, and some harmless small animals peeking from nearby branches from time to time, curiously looking at you. You didn't catch any big carnivore breath from the wind. 】

After entering the sixth layer, the danger level is greatly reduced. It's right to think about it, a large number of savages gather on the sixth layer, just like a city where humans gather, wild wolves, wild bears, tigers and leopards, all those who are somewhat aggressive are also suppressed and unable to survive.

[Going forward for a while, the woods in front of you suddenly become sparse, you climb high and look into the distance, and find that there are some man-made paved roads in front of you, crisscrossing them, all kinds of simple buildings made of stone and wood can be seen everywhere, and the outer buildings are specially painted with various colors of oil paint to drive away large beasts, and there are a large number of simple plantations and animal pens surrounded by fences between the buildings. 】

[Inside the village, a large number of wild people are staggered, these wild people are tall, most of them have dark brown skin, they are also painted with various colors of paint, and their bodies are covered with ornaments made of animal skins and bones, and the whole tribe exudes a primitive and mysterious atmosphere. 】

[In front of the tribe, a gate made of spiked rolling logs stands. 】

[As you approached, two spear-wielding savages suddenly jumped out and blocked your way. 】

[The two savages are staring at you fiercely, their spears raised in their hands, the tips of their spears pointed at you, and their mouths keep letting out strange whining and whining whims, as if to drive you away. ...... you choose]

You hurriedly showed the Wild Man the Crane (proof of friendship). 】

[When the two aggressive savages saw the paper crane in your hand, their murderous aura was reined in, and they put away their spears one after another. 】

["You...... It's a friend......"]

["Friend...... Release ......"]

[After the two savages finished speaking, they ignored you and returned to stand guard at the gate of the tribe. 】

[You stand in front of the tribe's door, looking at the lively and primitive scene, as if you have just entered the Stone Age from prehistoric times, and you can't help but be in a trance. 】

[The two savages saw that you were not moving, and couldn't help frowning and looking at you: "You...... Still not leaving? ”】

Mu You took the opportunity to tell the two that he wanted to see the Savage Patriarch and let them report on their behalf.

As a result, the two savages both waved their hands and shook their heads, indicating that it was none of their business, that their task was to guard the door, and that they could not leave their posts without permission.

"......" Mu You was speechless, it was really difficult to communicate, and the savages seemed to be single-threaded, and they would only rigidly execute one command, completely inflexible.

Just go and report such a simple thing, it can't be realized.

[You ask the two again, where is the patriarch? 】

["Patriarch...... The ...... of the seventh layer "The wild man tried to hold back two words, then stopped speaking, and at the same time made another movement to drive away, signaling that you want to go by yourself and not interfere with their work here. 】

“……”

Mu You left silently, and at the same time looked through the survival manual given by Cummings in reality.

This handbook records a variety of common creatures in the forest, including wild people.

In the last section of the manual, a full three pages are devoted to the Savages.

The first of these precautions is 'don't communicate with the big head soldiers of the wildlings', it's useless, for these low-intelligence savages, dialogue is a matter that requires them to have a long brain, let alone want to tell them what to do.

Of course, there are also some high intelligence among the savages, and the 'high intelligence' here refers to the fact that compared with other savages, compared with humans, it is actually the level of ordinary people, and this kind of intelligence is already outstanding among the savages.

In short, if you want to communicate, you can only find these people, and this kind of wild man has an obvious characteristic, that is, it can have a smooth conversation.

Also on the last page, Cummings also devotes himself to a highly intelligent savage named Fokker, alias Bearded, who is a blacksmith shop owner.

This person is an acquaintance of the Cummings couple, and every time they enter the Savage Tribe, they will give priority to this bearded man to trade, and the previous information about the Fool is what this bearded man secretly told them.

According to the instructions in the manual, Mu You operated the character to walk in the direction of the blacksmith shop.

The posture of his battle armor was very eye-catching in this place full of savages, and along the way, the savages passing by all ran to him like aliens and watched him curiously.

Mu You ignored these gazes, hung the paper crane directly on his chest, and swaggered in, but no savage took the initiative to stop him.

After wandering around the entrance of the village for half an hour, Mu You found the so-called 'blacksmith shop'.

[A simple blacksmith shop appears in front of you, in a dimly lit stone house, piled up with a large amount of ore and wood, outside the stone house is a shed made of gray cloth, and below it is placed a smelting table and a furnace made of black spars, in which a fierce heat is emitted. 】

[A wildish man with extremely vigorous hair is sweating in front of the fire, clanging and trying to build a spear. 】

[The bearded man noticed your arrival, turned his head, and the face buried in the fluffy hair tried to show it, and looked you up and down, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes. 】

["Oh? A fool? Faces I've never seen before...... You just came to me here, and that kid Cummings introduced you, right? The bearded urn said angrily, never stopping the action of striking iron in his hand. 】

As soon as this bearded man appeared on the stage, he showed his 'extraordinary' intelligence, not only did he not stumble when he spoke, but he could also directly deduce that he had a relationship with Cummings! This intelligence is already against the sky for savages!

Mu You was very relieved that he had finally found a savage who could communicate normally.

"Yes. You nodded in response, and consciously sent out a slightly broken unicorn scale. 】

As mentioned in the manual, this bearded man is not bad, but he is more practical, you don't give some benefits, he is too lazy to answer you, but as long as you give enough benefits and brush up on good feelings, he will indeed do his best to help you.

In any case, it is better than most savages who don't eat oil and salt, and the couple have given gifts many times before, which opened a breakthrough here in the beard.

And as a blacksmith, the beard's favorite thing is all kinds of precious materials and precious stones.

Mu You was reluctant to give away the complete unicorn scales, so he picked a defective product and sent it out, but even so, it had already made the bearded man look like a treasure.

[When the bearded savage saw the scales you handed over, his eyes lit up instantly, and he dropped the spear and hammer he was building, and wiped his blackened hands on his clothes repeatedly, and then carefully took the scales and observed them carefully. 】

["Yes, it is indeed a unicorn scale, and the condition is also good, but unfortunately there is some damage...... But it's not a big problem, with my skills, I can completely build a high-quality shield from this scale! The bearded man boasted to himself, tucked the scales into his pocket silently, and looked at you again with a much kinder gaze. 】

["Yes, I took the things, if you have anything you want to ask, just ask, I'll try to help you."] "The bearded man asks about your appeal. ...... you choose]

Mu You didn't waste any time, he went straight to the point, telling the bearded man that he wanted to meet the savage patriarch.

["Hehe, there are many people who want to see the patriarch, I also want to see the patriarch, everyone wants to see the patriarch, the patriarch is busy to death. The bearded man chuckled lightly and continued to strike the iron: "Don't think about it, young man, you can't see it." ”】

[You tell the other party that you have something extremely important to report, which is related to the safety of the entire ancestral group......]

Mu You directly informed the other party of their previous discovery, as well as the news that the God Devouring Beast was studying how to parasitize the savages, this information was originally to be notified to all the savages, and there was no need to hide it.

["New Protoss...... The bearded man frowned when he heard this: "Speaking of which, in recent years, there have indeed been many incidents of clansmen who have disappeared inexplicably outside the ring forest, could it be that they were all arrested by those Protossmen?" ”】

[The bearded man frowned and thought for a moment, but still shook his head and asked, "Then do you have solid evidence to prove that those Protoss have researched something that can parasitize us?" ”】

[You shake your head truthfully, indicating that there is no evidence.] 】

He really didn't have any specific evidence, and the information he obtained from the soul search of the red parasitic beast before was only that the god-devouring beasts were doing human experiments and studying how to parasitize savages, and he couldn't be sure if the research had been successful so far.

The God-devouring beast's parasitism on Mu Luo was not completed, so it was intercepted by him and Lin Xue in advance, but he seriously suspected that if he didn't care at that time, Mu Luo might really be parasitized in the end.

["Don't think about it without evidence, even if you see the patriarch, the patriarch can't believe you, the patriarch is a staunch supporter of the 'first king'. The bearded man said categorically. 】

[You ask blankly, what is the 'first king'? 】

["The first king was a great leader in the history of the first people, and was recognized by all the people as the 'king of the ancestors'. The bearded man threw out a rough silver coin with a wild man holding a spear on the surface of the coin: "This is the 'ring coin', a coin that only circulates within the ancestral people, and the figure carved on it is the former king." ”】

["The first king is the first 'son of the moon sacrifice', that is, the person who was recognized by the moon lake...... Moon Lake knows, right? The birthplace of the Moon Butterfly, the place where the Moon Festival is held every year, the lake water inside is extremely corrosive, and any creature, even the physique of the ancestors, jumps into it, and the flesh and blood will be corrupted in an instant. ”】

["In the entire millions of years of history of the ancestors, no one has ever been able to walk out alive after jumping into the Moon Lake, the only exception is the first king. ”】

["At that time, the first king was the strongest warrior in the clan, and at the Moon Sacrifice Ceremony that year, he bravely jumped into the Moon Lake as a living sacrifice, but was not corrupted and died like other living sacrificers, but lived hard by relying on his perverted physique, and finally Nirvana was reborn, and got the apocalypse from the Moon Lake, and became the spokesperson of the Moon Lake from then on......"]

Mu You has never seen the Moon Lake, but he has seen the Moon Well, the corrosiveness of the Moon Well has been personally experienced, and if he reaches into it, it will be melted into slag in an instant, not to mention the 'Moon Lake' on the next layer, even the physique of the savages is difficult to support.

And this ancestor king, as the only wild man who can survive in the Moon Lake among the countless ancestors in history, shows how perverted his physical fitness is.

["At that time, it was the period when the Protoss was rising and competing with our clan for the hegemony of the world, we were suppressed by the Protoss in many ways, the territory was repeatedly lost, and we were about to be wiped out. ”】

["Tens of thousands of years ago, the first king died. Leave a testament before dying: All the clansmen must abide by their hearts in the future, stay in the precept forest, protect the precept forest, unless outsiders take the initiative to attack the precept forest, otherwise the ancestors must not participate in the power struggle outside the precept forest, let alone form an alliance or war with any race in the outside world. As long as the descendants strictly abide by this testament, the precepts and ancestors can live forever! ”】

["Because the influence of the previous kings was too great, this testament became the highest precept that was strictly enforced by the patriarchs of the past generations. ”】

["Of course, not all clansmen agree, and some people feel that this precept is too aggrieved, as the former overlord of the world, we obviously have enough power, but we can only shrink into the precept forest. ”】

["This part of the people advocates raising troops to start a war, fighting out to regain the original territory, and no matter how bad it is, it is necessary to plant the ring wood as much as possible to expand the scope of the forest. ”】

["But the number of radicals in this part is not large, and the voice can't stir up any waves...... In short, the current patriarch is a fanatical 'Former King Faction', supporting all the teachings left by the Former King, unless those new gods directly enter the Ring Forest, he will never take the initiative to form an alliance or start a war. ”】

The bearded man took the initiative to popularize the history and current situation of the ancestors.

Mu You couldn't help frowning after reading it, it seems that there is indeed some trouble now, just catching up with such a fanatical believer-like patriarch, it is difficult to say that this kind of person is moving.

Mu You shook his head, no matter what, he still had to do a good job of reminding him, even if he couldn't win over the ancestors, he had to at least let them have the awareness of guarding against parasitism, so as not to become the enemy of the fool in the future.

[Actually, if you really want to see the patriarch, it's not completely impossible......" The bearded man looked at you contemplatively and was silent, and suddenly spoke. 】

[What can you do about it? 】

["The ancestor once left a rule that if a friendly person from a foreign tribe enters the ring forest, as long as he can save enough 1,000 blessing tokens, he can get a personal reception from the patriarch. The bearded man said. 】

"What is a favor? You ask. 】

["Favors, that is, the help of foreigners to the ancestors, completing the tasks assigned by the clansmen, helping the clansmen to achieve their wishes, etc., can all obtain favors, however, there is an upper limit to the favors that each clansman can give, and the average clansman can only give one favor to the same person at most, and the higher the status and position, the higher the upper limit of favors that can be given. For example, I can give you up to ten favors tokens!! The bearded man finally patted himself and boasted to himself. 】

Mu You's face became strange after hearing this, these savages are really good at calculating, the so-called 'favor', isn't it just to let outsiders come in and quit the forest to do free day work?

has to work 1,000 times in vain to give a chance to meet, this white prostitute, even Mu You has to be ashamed. (End of chapter)
