Chapter 679: Undercurrents are surging

Looking at the savage who died suddenly and violently in front of him, Mu You and Sky Wolf were stunned.

This way of dying doesn't look like it's painful to die no matter how you look at it......

Mu You hurriedly retraced the time.

Ten seconds ago, the wild man was not dead, and Mu You tried to change the question.

"How many of the Savage Upper echelons have been parasitized?"

"I don't know ......"

"How many high-level people are parasites within the range you know......"

"Hmm...... Yes! ”

In another scream of pain, the wild man died again with white smoke rising above his head.

Mu You frowned, so he had to go back in time again and change some new questions.

"Is the Savage Patriarch a parasite?"

"No...... It's ......"

"Is Cessia a parasite?"

"No...... I don't know ......."

"Who is your superior?"

“……”

"What is your purpose?"

……

Mu You continued to ask questions, and as long as he encountered the situation of the other party's violent death, he immediately switched back to the problem.

Under such continuous questioning, Mu You soon found that many key questions could not be answered by this person, and before the other party wanted to say the answer, he would suddenly die.

Mu You estimated that these savages were not only parasitized, but also had some built-in anti-torture settings, as long as the sensitivity of the problem that the parasite wanted to reveal exceeded a certain threshold, this mechanism would be automatically activated, so that the parasite would self-destruct.

asked a series of questions, Mu You was stunned that he couldn't get any practical information, only in the last question, when he asked the other party's purpose, the wild man revealed something before he died.

"Pollution...... Month ......"

After saying these three words, the savage's answer came to an abrupt end, and he died of rage again.

But just these three words are enough for the two to speculate on the content that follows.

Moon Lake!

"They want to pollute Moon Lake?!!" The wolf's pupils contracted, and he no longer paid attention to the wild people on the ground who had lost their life, and his attention instantly shifted to the Moon Lake.

Moon Lake is the root of the entire ring forest, if there is really something wrong with the moon lake, not to mention the ancestors, the creatures of the entire ring forest may have to be buried with them.

Mu You looked at the dead savage on the ground, and didn't go back, he had asked all the questions that should be asked, he already knew that he couldn't ask anything more if he went back, and it was already an accident to finally get this answer.

Sky Wolf lowered his head, his eyes flashing rapidly.

The enemy himself said that their purpose was to pollute Moon Lake, but he was still a little incomprehensible.

You must know that Moon Lake is not that fragile.

First of all, the water of Moon Lake is highly corrosive, which ensures that all organisms that fall into it will be quickly corroded.

At the same time, the Moon Lake also has a repulsive power, which can naturally avoid those from outside the Ring Forest, containing the divine system of physical substances, anyone who wants to approach the Moon Lake with items from the outside world will be automatically pushed away by this repulsion, until all the substances outside the Ring Forest are left behind, and then they can go to the Moon Lake.

Finally, the surface of the Moon Lake is actually just a layer of 'armor', a protective layer used to filter out impurities and dangers, and the real core of the Moon Lake is the deep lake water below the Eye of the Moon.

If you want to pollute the Moon Lake, it is useless to only put any toxins into the surface of the lake without touching the deep lake water under the eye of the moon, because the surface lake water is circulating and purifying itself through the rain and the ecology in the forest at any time.

All of the above are the self-protection mechanisms of the Moon Lake, and under the multiple protections, it is almost impossible for the Moon Lake to be polluted by foreign substances, which is also the reason why the Moon Lake and the Ring Forest have existed since the beginning of heaven and earth.

"What's the problem?" Seeing that the wolf looked puzzled, Mu You asked.

Sky Wolf informed Mu You of Moon Lake's self-protection mechanism and his own confusion.

Mu You pondered for a moment after listening, and suddenly said: "Under these protective mechanisms, Moon Lake is naturally safe in normal times, but what about the time of the Moon Festival?" ”

During the Moon Festival, the Eye of the Moon is open for a quarter of an hour each night, during which time the upper and lower waters of the lake are connected, which is the only chance to pollute the core of the Moon Lake.

"But even if it is a Moon Festival, the first two layers of protection of the Moon Lake will not disappear, and during the Moon Festival, a large number of clansmen gather at the scene, and it is impossible for anyone to have the opportunity to approach the Moon Lake at will...... Apart from...... Uh......" Sky Wolf said, realizing the flaw.

During the Moon Festival, it is true that no one is allowed to approach the Moon Lake at will—except for those who have been chosen as living sacrifices.

The Eye of the Moon is open on a regular basis to select the children of the Moon Sacrifice, so that these living sacrificers can not only get close, but also rightfully jump into the lake.

The Heavenly Wolf thought about it and was still puzzled: "However, even the living sacrificers will bathe and fast for many days before the Moon Festival, and they will be stripped naked and undergo a full body examination before jumping into the lake, so they will not have the opportunity to carry foreign objects......"

"There is no need to carry foreign bodies, these parasites themselves are the biggest foreign bodies......" Mu You sighed and walked over to the corpse of the wild man.

As the savage's vitality dissipated, a cocoon formed above his back, and the blue moon butterfly quickly hatched.

The blue butterfly floated up in front of the two of them, and after circling around each of them, it flew out of the hole in the ground, flew in the direction of Moon Lake, and soon disappeared into the jungle.

On the corpse of the savage, there was a worm left, and Mu You and Sky Wolf consciously did not touch it.

It wasn't until a dozen seconds later that the worm turned into dust and disappeared.

Mu You stepped forward and tapped his fingers on the wild man's head to feel the hardness.

"My abilities can't be used here, and I need you to help me slice open his brain." Mu You looked at the wolf.

The skin and skulls of savages are far from being hard enough for human physiques to touch.

However, as the top master among the savages, since the Sky Wolf can easily seal his throat with one arrow, it should not be a problem to cut through the flesh and bones of a savage.

The wolf nodded, and without asking him what he was going to do, he pulled out an arrow from the quiver behind his back.

At the tip of the arrow is an arrow made of black hedron, similar to the spear that Mu Luo held before.

The arrows slashed through the snow like a hot knife, easily slicing through the skin and skull of the savages.

Under the command of Mu You, the sky wolf spent a few minutes completely dissecting the wild man's head.

Mu You frowned and looked at the flesh and brains in front of him, and did not find the imaginary red gelatinous substance in them.

Instead, in a pile of yellow and white brains, there were some blue crystals mixed with something that had never been seen before.

When they were first cut, the blue crystalline objects were still wriggling slightly, like living insects, but when exposed to the air for more than a few seconds, they quickly lost their vitality, their vitality dissipated, and they quickly withered and shriveled.

Sky Wolf also witnessed the whole process of the transformation of these blue crystal worms, and he was surprised when he saw this scene for the first time: "This is the body of the parasite you said?" ”

"Yes, but there are two parasites I've seen, one transparent and one red.

The transparent color devouring beast is used to parasitize the gods and fools, with the characteristics of formless and substanceless, non-lethal, and can reproduce and spread in large quantities, but its vitality is extremely fragile, and it will automatically die if exposed to the air for more than ten seconds.

The red god-devouring beast has an entity, which can be recognized by the naked eye, but it is extremely lethal, and ordinary creatures can't withstand its parasitism, even if it's you savages, it is estimated that only you and Mu Luo, the top savages with strong bodies, can hold on until it completes parasitism. ”

Mu You said, looking at the blue crystal in front of him, and couldn't help frowning: "As for this blue parasite, this is also the first time I have seen it, and it should be a new species specially made for ordinary savages."

In terms of characteristics, the lethality of this blue parasite is greatly reduced, even ordinary savages can complete parasitism, and at the same time have no reproductive ability, fragile vitality, exposed to the air will die quickly, it is estimated that it can only be in the special environment of the outside world, through artificial assistance for fixed-point parasitism. ”

What made it a pity for Mu You was that he didn't feel the breath of the blood clan from this blue crystal.

The previous red jellyfish was made by injecting the blood of the blood god and had the characteristics of the blood family, so it was suppressed by Lilith.

And this blue parasite obviously skipped the step of injecting the blood god's blood, which is probably why its vitality is so fragile.

And this also means that even if this blue parasitic beast is captured alive, Mu You will not be able to search for its soul and obtain its memories, otherwise many things will be much easier.

After listening to Mu You's analysis, the Heavenly Wolf looked at the corpses of these blue crystal insects in front of him, and his face was a little ugly.

He had already understood what Mu You meant, indeed, these parasites did not need to carry external substances, they themselves were the biggest toxins.

The outer layer of the Moon Lake will corrode and melt away the flesh and blood of all the creatures that jump into it, but there will also be something that will settle down and sink into the deep Moon Lake while the Eye of the Moon is open.

Even if the remnants of a parasite are extremely scarce and negligible to the size of Moon Lake, what if there are enough of them?

Every year, seven living sacrificers jump into Moon Lake, and over the past three hundred years, at least two thousand people have jumped into Moon Lake.

If all these people were parasites, the remnants of more than 2,000 parasites would be enough to converge into a pollution that should not be underestimated.

As for how to ensure that the living sacrificers every year are parasitics? This one is even simpler.

After all, the living sacrificers are also artificially screened, and with the current degree of parasites infiltrating the tribe, the parasites only need to replace all the officials responsible for selecting the living sacrificers with their own people, and who to choose in the end is naturally up to them.

Thinking about this, the wolf couldn't help sweating on his forehead, and he was afraid for a while.

Fortunately, this situation has been detected by them in time, otherwise the moon festival will continue to be repeated year after year in the future, and the pollution of the moon lake will continue to deepen, and sooner or later there will be a complete deterioration in the future.

"What are you going to do next?" Sky Wolf looked at Mu You and asked for his opinion, and now he had completely regarded Mu You as his own.

"The situation is serious......"

Mu You sighed, and he could also feel that the current situation of the savage race had reached the brink of overturning, and now the enemy was in the dark, they were in the light, and they didn't even know how many troops the enemy had.

And the fate of the savage race at the moment will directly affect the outcome of the battle between the Fool and the God-Devouring Beast in the future.

After pondering for a while, Mu Youcai said: "The first priority now is to suspend the upcoming Moon Sacrifice Ceremony to avoid the pollution of Moon Lake from deepening again. ”

"And if you want to do this, you must first meet the patriarch, only he has this power."

They had just confirmed from the wild that the patriarch was not parasitized, and then they only needed to contact the patriarch and find a way to persuade him to realize that the tribe had been greatly infiltrated, and in any case, only by sobering up the leader of the tribe would there be a chance to turn the tables.

It's a pity......

"See the patriarch...... I'm afraid it's not that easy to ......."

Unlike them, the patriarch is a figure who is always in the public eye, and I want to know that there must be a large number of parasitic eyeliner lurking around him.

And in the current situation, the parasites will never give the two of them a chance to get close to the patriarch again.

It should be said that as long as they dare to show their heads in the future, they will definitely be chased and intercepted by a large number of parasites, and they will ignore the orders of the patriarch and forcibly correct the law on the spot, and they will not be given a chance to defend themselves at all.

In this regard, no matter how strong the Heavenly Wolf is, there is only one person after all, and it is really difficult to defeat four hands with two fists.

"Anyway, you take me to the seventh layer first, I still need to confirm some things......" Mu You said.

On the one hand, going to the seventh floor to find the patriarch is one thing, and on the other hand, Mu You also needs to find an opportunity to get close to Moon Lake and confirm what the hint of the pocket watch is. He had a hunch that what the pocket watch wanted to remind him of was very important, perhaps an opportunity to resolve the crisis.

"Okay." The wolf nodded directly, and after simply disposing of the corpse of the wild man, he left the cave with Mu You.

In fact, they also have a helper, that is, Mu Luo, who is waiting outside the ring forest, Mu Luo's words, whether it is credibility or strength, are enough.

It's a pity that it's too late, it will take several days to go back and forth from here to the edge of the ring forest, and the Moon Festival will be held in a day or two, so there is no time for them to go back and shake people.

……

Just when Mu You and Sky Wolf took action.

At the other end, on the seventh floor, in the chief's conference room.

"You have to give me an explanation for this!" Cessia's angry voice echoed through the hall.

"Hehe, what do you want to explain? The foreigners are plotting against our people, so I shoot and kill, it's as simple as that. On the other side of the hall, a savage elder sneered.

This person was one of the two savages who suddenly killed Mu You's character before.

It was also half an hour after the incident that Secia found out that Mu You, who came with her, was forcibly killed by someone across a wall.

Although Mu You is a foreigner, he traveled thousands of miles to bring her the news of her long-missing son, and he is also her son's friend and savior, so it stands to reason that Secia has an obligation to protect him.

As a result, Mu You was forcibly killed under her nose, and Secia was naturally furious on the spot, and dragged the other party to the patriarch to discuss the explanation as soon as possible.

At this time, the savage patriarch sat behind his desk, looking at the two people facing each other in front of him, and he also had a headache.

He didn't care about the life of an outsider, but after all, the other party was the leader of a clan of forces, and they lived in seclusion in the ring forest, so it was said that they should not casually make enemies with outside forces.

"He's plotting against him? At that time, there were so many guards patrolling the town near Moon Lake, and in full view of everyone, what could he, an outsider who had almost no power to resist here, do? ”

Secia laughed angrily: "Besides, even if you think there is something wrong with him, you should subdue him first, ask about the cause and effect, and then decide how to deal with it, but you can't wait to kill, and you don't even dare to give him a chance to speak...... Who, exactly, has the problem?! ”

The savage elder on the opposite side changed his face and glared at Secia: "What do you mean, I just thought about the safety of the clan and took action to eliminate an outsider, what problem can I have?" ”

"Is there really no problem?" Secia sneered, "That young man has brought us important information: a group of parasitic beasts are researching ways to parasitize our species......"

Secia looked around the audience, passed by the other ancestors and elders present, and said meaningfully: "Maybe some of us have been replaced......
