[You walk up to the Ring Wood and are about to go to the prison above. 】

[Two wild men suddenly jumped out from nearby, holding spears, and glared at you fiercely: "Who? "What for?" 】

[You hurriedly waved your hand back to show that you had no malicious intent, and at the same time showed the paper crane on your chest. 】

[The two savages did not relax because of this, and still glared at you with a hideous face: "The prison is heavy...... Aloof! ”】

Mu You hurriedly manipulated the character and stepped back, and at the same time his face was a little strange, is this really a prison?

However, this prison is different from ordinary prisons, such a small prison, it seems that only one person is imprisoned...... What kind of person is it that deserves to be held in solitary confinement in such a grand manner?

[Under the murderous threat of the two savages, you know that you can't communicate, and you are about to leave, but in the prison above, a deep voice suddenly sounds: "Hey, let him come up." ”】

[When the two savages heard this, they immediately put away their weapons, got out of the way, and motioned for you to climb the tree quickly. 】

“emmm……”

Mu You was even more at a loss, can the prisoner here still order the jailer? Are you really a prisoner?

Strange in his heart, Mu You still controlled the character to climb on this ring wood for the first time.

[You relied on the characteristics of the Wind Rider to quickly climb up the ring wood and came to the top of the prison. 】

[The slightly cramped wooden cell is empty, with only a pair of tables and chairs and a rudimentary bed. 】

[By the window of the prison sat a tattered, unkempt savage, with a resolute complexion, a tall and mighty body, skin as rough and hard as an ancient tree, thick black hair fluttering in the wind, and a pair of eyes as sharp as a falcon. 】

[When you came in, the wild man was wiping a longbow by the window, the bow with fine patterns was polished, and the wild man pulled the bow from time to time and aimed out the window, trying his strength. 】

["The seventh layer strictly prohibits unknown outsiders from stepping on it without surveillance, and once discovered, all savages are immediately killed on the spot, which is one of the iron laws left by the previous king. The savage kept adjusting the bowstring, and suddenly spoke: "Although the savage tribe seems to have a casual life, some rules are very strict, if you break in just now, no matter who you are or what your purpose is, there is no room for maneuver." ”】

This savage is very fluent in language as soon as he speaks, and he is obviously also a highly intelligent savage.

And the other party's words made Mu You understand that he was indeed a little reckless, but fortunately, the other party stopped it in time just now.

[You ask the other party, why did they save you?] 】

["It's not to save you, it's just because I have something to ask you to do, it's not easy to wait for someone from the outside world to come in here, if you die, I have to wait again, maybe for many years. The wild man said. 】

["What's the matter? You ask. 】

[Only then did the wild man stop wiping his bow and look up at you: "Before that, you need to know my story first. ”】

["My name is Sky Wolf, I was born in a family of archers, and I was carefully nurtured by my parents since I was a child, and I have developed a magic shooting ability. ”】

["Fourteen hundred years ago, I won the first prize in the Warrior Conference that year and became the strongest warrior of the year, and then I was appointed as the captain of the first Sentinel of the Ancestors, under the command of 472 loyal soldiers, responsible for the daily patrol and guard of the east side of the forest. ”】

["Originally, I only needed to work step by step, and I could rise to the top and have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of my life. ”】

["It's just that I'm not satisfied with this, I'm a radical who advocates territorial expansion, and in addition to carrying out daily patrol duties, I led my subordinates to explore outward without the knowledge of the patriarch, and planted seeds of the ring wood along the way, trying to secretly expand the scope of the ring forest. ”】

["The first few years went well, but as we became more and more unscrupulous, the scope of exploration became farther and farther away from the hinterland of the forest, and something happened after all. ”】

["We, we have encountered a desolate ...... outside"]

Deserted?

Mu You was stunned when he saw this, he was familiar with this name, Yan Gu Mirage, Desolate Wu is one of the four major natural calamity beasts, although Desolate Wu is ranked last, but according to Gu Snake, the strength of natural calamity beasts is not based on ranking.

["The moment the desolate black appeared, the surrounding land was instantly bareland, the plants withered, the animals died tragically, and all life died quickly in the desolation. ”】

["I noticed that something was wrong, and hurriedly wanted to return to the ring forest with my men, but it was still too late, the desolate Wu seemed to be angered by us, and kept tracking us along the road, resulting in us never being able to get out of the barren range, my warriors fell one by one in the barren land, only me, relying on strong physical fitness, forcibly escaped from the barren area, and was already seriously injured, the whole body was as thin as firewood, almost dying, fortunately was found by the passing tribesmen, and only then did I pick up a life. But my 472 brothers remained forever in that barren land. ”】

["Afterwards, I was stripped of my status as the captain of the team and sentenced to life imprisonment for violating the clan rules, concealing and failing to report, and causing devastating losses to my troops due to my private actions. ”】

"I don't care about these crimes, I deserve them, I care about my 472 brothers, who are still in the deserted territory. ”】

["Because I was worried that another clansman would be attacked by the wilderness, that area was designated as a forbidden place by the patriarch, and it was strictly forbidden for any clansmen to come near there again, so I couldn't find other clansmen to help me, so I could only ask outsiders for help. ”】

[The wolf said here and looked at you: "You came in from the outside world, and if you can come here, you must be a great person outside.] ”】

["I feel that things were a little strange back then, the desolation at that time, obviously had the ability to kill us easily, but he didn't do anything, just followed all the way, and let my people fall in the desolation one by one...... I don't know why, but I always feel that the desolate black at that time had another purpose......"]

["I don't care about myself, but I can't let my brothers die in vain, so I want you to go back to that area on my behalf and find out what happened there, whether my brothers live or die, I need a result. ”】

["If you want to enter the seventh floor, you should want to see the patriarch, right? As long as you help me do this, I will help you introduce the patriarch, don't look at me as a prisoner, I still have this face. ”】

[The Sky Wolf has made you a request to explore the Wastelands, do you accept it?] 】

Mu You touched his chin, he wasn't really interested in what this savage requested, but he was very interested in Huangwu itself.

If it was before, let him face a cataclysmic beast, he would definitely run as far as he could, but now that he has opened the Heavenly Dao, the power of the Heavenly Dao can restrain the Calamity Beast to a certain extent, and it is not difficult for him to go to the territory of the Cataclysmic Beast and leave safely, and even have the opportunity to communicate with the Cataclysmic Beast face-to-face.

Now that they are fighting against the Devouring Beast, they need to win over all the forces that can be won over as much as possible, and if they can pull this Desolate Wu into their own camp, they will definitely be able to greatly increase their chances of victory......

Of course, he didn't plan to go to this matter in person, after all, it was not easy to come to the ring forest, and this kind of thing was obviously not something that could be done in a short period of time.

Mu You is ready to let the watchman take Gu Snake to go, both are natural disaster beasts, Gu Snake and Huang Wu should also have some friendship, and also have the ability to resist Huang Wu, it is the most suitable for it to come forward.

[You agreed to the wolf's request.] The Celestial Wolf took out a map of animal skins and handed it to you: "This is the map we drew when we first explored outward, and it shows the exact location of our encounter with the desolate desolation. ”】

[You have obtained the 'Topographic Map of the Eastern Region of the Ring Forest.'] 】

Whether this mission can be completed or not, this map alone is worth the ticket price.

Mu You's discussion with this savage archer was over, and he was just about to leave, when he suddenly remembered something.

The other party just said that he became the captain of the ancestral sentry team 1,400 years ago, and Mu Luo seems to have been named the captain and disappeared during that period, both of them are sentry captains, maybe they know each other!

[Before leaving, you suddenly asked the wolf, do you know a wild man named Mu Luo? 】

["Muro? Do you mean the captain of the trilogy team? Hearing this, Sky Wolf nodded: "Of course I know, Mu Luo was my opponent at the Warriors Conference that year, and it was in the final round that I defeated him to win the championship and get the status of the captain of the team." ”】

["But I heard that he disappeared and never reappeared...... Do you have news of him? ”】

Sure enough, I know!

Mu You hurriedly told Mu Luo about it.

[You told the Heavenly Wolf about Muro's deeds. 】

["I see, this stupid boy is still alive......" After listening to your story, the wolf sighed, as if he was recalling the past. After a moment, he looks at you: "You should be looking for Muro's mother Secia, right?" ”】

["I don't know much about her, but I heard that after the disappearance of Muro, Sécia seems to have been stimulated, and her temperament has changed greatly, she resigned as a herbalist, moved out of the tribe, and lived in seclusion at the end of the sixth floor, in a small house to the southeast...... It's better for you to check it out. ”】

Mu You originally just mentioned it casually, but he didn't expect to really ask for clues about Mu Luo's mother.

Next, Mu You said goodbye to the Heavenly Wolf, left the prison, and went to the place indicated by the Heavenly Wolf.

[You searched deep in the sixth layer, and soon found a courtyard isolated in the jungle. 】

[The small courtyard is not big, it looks a little dilapidated, and it is surrounded by wild grass. You walk to the gate of the courtyard, where the simple wooden gate is hidden, and the doorway is fenced around a nursery where some crops are grown. 】

[In the courtyard, a white-haired female savage is laboriously lifting a bucket from the well and carrying the bucket to her home. 】

["Excuse me, are you a herbalist Secia? You asked out loud. 】

[Hearing the voice, the old man looked back at you, looked you up and down, shook his head and said: "You are looking for the wrong person, there is no herbalist here, only an old woman who is dying, you are looking for a herbalist, you should go to the tribe to find ......"]

[After the old savage finished speaking, he ignored you and continued to walk towards his home with a bucket. 】

"Muro asked me to come. You added. 】

[The bucket clattered to the ground, the water poured all over the courtyard, the old man looked back at you in surprise, and some panic and nervousness flashed in his eyes: "Mu Luo...... Muro ...... Who is it? The name...... So familiar......"]

Mu You was a little sad, the old man even forgot his son's name, no wonder he didn't report the case back then......

Take out the stone that Muro gave you, and give it to Secia. 】

[Secia looked at the small figure carved on the stone, his eyes widened suddenly, his palms trembled, and tears couldn't stop falling: "I, I remembered, Muro, it's my son, my lost son...... I actually forgot such an important thing......"]

["Murro asked you to come? That is, he is still alive, right? The old man suddenly looks at you and asks. 】

["Yes, Murro is still alive, alive and well, but trapped outside......" You hurriedly inform the old man of Murro's situation. 】

["It's good to be alive, it's good to be alive......" The old man let out a sigh of relief after hearing this, and the stone in his heart fell to the ground. 】

[After a moment of relief, the old man smiled apologetically, invited you into the house to sit down, and poured you a glass of green medicinal juice. 】

["It's hard for you to run for him, child, you people outside will be a little uncomfortable when they come to the forest, this is my family's ancestral wood medicine juice, drinking it should make you feel better. The old man laughed. 】

[You took the medicinal juice and drank it, just like the bitter taste of Chinese medicine suddenly filled your mouth, but the bitter taste quickly dissipated, and the rest was full of fragrance. 】

[You suddenly feel that your mind is quick, and your ears and eyes are much clearer. For the duration of the potion, your text delay is temporarily reduced to 10-15 seconds. 】

Mu You was a little surprised, he didn't expect that there were potions that could reduce the delay of the game, these wild herbalists were more powerful than he imagined.

[You were savoring the medicinal juice, and the old man next to you looked at you with a smile, and suddenly said: "Speaking of which, a long time ago, when I was a child, there was also a person like you who came to the Ring Forest, and my grandmother also received him with this medicinal juice. ”】

Well?

Mu You was stunned, someone like him? Are there any other fools who have come to the forest?

It's impossible, the old man said when she was a child, at least thousands or even tens of thousands of years ago, right? At that time, it is difficult to say whether the fool appeared or not......

Mu You quickly reacted, like him, not referring to a human with the same body form as him, but referring to a battle armor, a person wearing a mecha like him, a mechanic?

[You hurriedly ask Cessia, what happened to that man?] 】

["Yes, that person is the same as you, he put himself in this kind of iron lump, when that person suddenly broke into the ring forest, but he was not treated by the tribe, he was disliked by everyone and driven away, so he could only wander around and hide in the tribe. Later, my grandmother saw that he was pitiful and kindly took him in. ”】

["This person is actually not a bad person, but he is not mentally normal, after living in my house for a while, one day he suddenly went crazy, saying that he wanted to see the patriarch, saying that he had found what he wanted, and it was in the Moon Lake, and he had to go in to find it. ”】

["Of course the patriarch will not agree, Moon Lake is the holy land of my clan, and it is impossible for outsiders to get close, so he drove him out as a madman...... Since then, the man seems to have calmed down, becoming silent, no longer acting as a demon, and rarely communicating with us again, and the people slowly forgot about him...... Until one day, at the Moon Festival ceremony that year, when the full moon rose that night and everyone was busy sacrificing to the Moon Lake, this person suddenly rushed out of the corner and jumped into the Moon Lake......]

Mu You looked at it with a strange face, mechanic, jumped into the Moon Lake?

[Seeing that the old man just sighed with emotion, he didn't tell it anymore, and you hurriedly asked about what happened later. 】

["Later? Of course he died, he jumped into the Moon Lake, and the bones of the corrupted corpse on the spot were gone, and he never came out again. ”】

Mu You was silent, mechanic, he really died like this......

Before he came, he really didn't expect that the mechanic would not die by accident, nor was he killed by some creature in the Ring Forest, but committed suicide by throwing himself into the lake.

The question is, why did he jump into Moon Lake?

What was there in the lake that was worth his life...... (End of chapter)
