"How so?"

Sky Wolf looked shocked.

Tens of thousands of years ago, the mechanic jumped into the lake, he was not born at that time, and he did not see it with his own eyes.

But at this moment, he witnessed the whole process of Mu You's bones in the lake, and this scene was so clear that he couldn't find any reason to numb himself.

Mu You is not the son of the Moon Sacrifice......

Their plan, failed.

"Hmph, you can't live if you do your own evil!"

The patriarch snorted coldly and waved his hand to the side: "Take down this traitor who colludes with outsiders for me, remember to capture him alive!" ”

Now that the Eye of the Moon has been closed, it means that today's Moon Festival is over, and the matter is a foregone conclusion, and his anger has dissipated somewhat.

Then it's time to settle the matter.

When the wolf was flustered, countless sentinels who were outflanked around him swarmed up, tore the wolf from the tree, and pressed it to the ground.

This time the wolf did not resist.

Originally, the situation in the clan had reached a desperate situation for him, and Mu You's appearance was his only hope, but now that his hope was shattered, the impact on him was indescribable.

The wolf was pinned to the ground by a dozen stintinels, unable to move.

In the distance, the patriarch had already arrived with a group of guards.

But no one noticed that behind the patriarch, Elder Yuman threw a look at this side from a distance and made a movement to wipe his neck.

Pressing the back of the wolf's crowd, a sentry suddenly burst out, holding a sharp blade, and slashed at the wolf's head.

"Stop! I'll let you take you alive! The patriarch was in a hurry, and while drinking, he hurried to hurry.

Unfortunately, as if the man hadn't heard, the knife in his hand not only did not stop, but accelerated.

Just when this knife was about to hit, the wolf saw that he was dying.

A loud roar rang out from behind, and Mu Luo rushed out like a humanoid tyrannosaurus, smashing through the crowd along the road, stabbing out the spear in his hand, accurately piercing the sneak attacker through the chest and nailing him to the ring wood behind him.

"Get out of the way!"

Murro screamed and rushed into the room, and with a spear swinging, he drove the other wildlings back and pulled the wolf up from the ground.

Only then did the wolf regain some of his senses, and he also realized his situation, and hurriedly opened his bow and arrows, aiming at the wild people around him.

The two are surrounded by a large number of savages, and they have nowhere to escape, so they can only meet the enemy back to back, although they can't escape, but under the strength of the two, it is not so easy to be subdued.

At this time, the surrounding savages did not dare to approach easily, so they could only hold their weapons, maintain the encirclement, and look for opportunities.

"Stop the! Can't you understand people's words one by one? ”

The patriarch in the distance had already hurried over, and scolded in his mouth: "Give me back off, and you two, stand still for me!" Whoever dares to do it first will be guilty of the same crime as the traitor! ”

Under the command of the patriarch, the encirclement has expanded a little, and the scene has finally stabilized temporarily, and those hidden parasites still want to continue to act, but unfortunately these two people are too strong, and it is difficult to kill the two of them immediately.

"Patriarch, I have something to say!" The Sky Wolf suddenly spoke, looking at the patriarch with a serious expression.

"You are a traitor, what is there to say?" Yu Man scolded angrily, looked at the patriarch and said: "Patriarch, these two people killing their compatriots and destroying the festival are already capital crimes, I think they should take it directly!" ”

"No, let him speak!" The patriarch snorted coldly: "I want to hear what he wants to say." ”

"I did make a mistake, I should have stopped his ......," the wolf shook his head and sighed.

"Oh? Have you finally come to your senses? The patriarch sneered, and at the same time breathed a slight sigh of relief in his heart, he actually didn't want the wolf to die, if the wolf could get lost here in time, he could also find a way to fight for him a chance to survive.

"Yes, I woke up, I shouldn't pin the hope of the son of the moon sacrifice on outsiders, the person who jumped into the lake shouldn't be him from the beginning, but me!" Sky Wolf said with a look of annoyance.

"What?" The patriarch's eyes darkened when he heard this. The other party's confession was a little different from what he imagined......

"So, Patriarch, I'm going to apply to be a living sacrificer tomorrow night!" The wolf suddenly raised his head and spoke firmly.

"Hehe, according to the clan rules, you have been expelled from the clan, do you think you are still qualified to be a living sacrificer?" Yuman laughed.

The wolf ignored Yuman's ridicule, but looked at the patriarch fixedly, waiting for his answer.

The patriarch looked at him with a strange face: "I really didn't expect that you were deceived so deeply by that fool...... What kind of ecstasy soup did this kid pour you? Does it make you feel confident that you can be the child of the Moon Festival? ”

"No, it's not that I can become the Son of the Moon Festival, but any member of the clan who jumps into the lake now can become the Child of the Moon Festival...... Except for those parasites! Sky Wolf said.

"What do you mean?" The patriarch was dazed when he heard this, but he didn't notice that the eyes of Youman and several other elders beside him burst out with a dangerous light.

"I finally figured it all out! Mu You was right, the reason why the first king was able to become the son of the moon sacrifice was because the clan was faced with a choice of life and death at that time. And now, the race has once again reached the point of survival, and the reason why there is no birth of the Child of the Moon Sacrifice this time is not because we are not qualified, but because, in the previous three hundred years, all the places of the living sacrifice were occupied by the parasite, and Moon Lake had no chance to elect the Child of the Moon Sacrifice at all! The Sky Wolf said loudly.

Of course, it is impossible for Moon Lake to make the parasite a spokesperson, and after so many years, there have been no normal clansmen jumping into the lake, and Moon Lake has no choice even if he wants to choose a spokesperson, so it has been delayed until now.

Therefore, theoretically, as long as there are unparasitic clansmen who jump into the lake, no matter what the conditions are, they should be able to become the children of the moon festival!

"Three hundred years? What does that mean exactly? Speak clearly......" The patriarch froze, the words of the sky wolf made him instinctively feel that he was about to grasp something.

But just as the patriarch was about to ask.

Behind the crowd, a hidden crossbow bolt suddenly fired.

This arrow seemed to be heading towards Mu Luo, but Mu Luo felt powerful, and subconsciously turned his head and let go of the attack.

So the arrow passed through his neck and stabbed at the patriarch opposite, piercing the patriarch's shoulder accurately, and the great force knocked the patriarch to the ground.

"Two traitors sneak up on the patriarch! They want to kill the patriarch! Kill them! I don't know who shouted.

Among the surrounding sentinels, several people took the lead in attacking, and others also subconsciously followed.

"Wait! Let him finish his sentence......" The patriarch clutched the wound on his shoulder and hurriedly shouted.

He himself could see clearly that although the angle of the arrow just now was hidden, it was definitely not shot by these two people.

It's a pity that there is no chance, seeing that the patriarch is injured, plus someone taking the lead, countless savages rushed up and killed Mu Luo and the wolf.

"Bang!"

With a muffled sound, a cloud of dark blue smoke suddenly rose in place.

The poisonous mist formed, enveloping Mu Luo and the Sky Wolf in the blink of an eye, and quickly spread around.

"It's the poison of the evil gall flower, retreat!"

Someone immediately recognized the source of the poisonous mist, which was a poisonous smoke made of highly poisonous herbs, and if inhaled into the body, it could erode the internal organs in a short period of time, because the attack was too fast, and there was almost no cure, even the physique of a savage could not bear this level of toxin.

The savages who were originally rushing up hurriedly retreated.

The poisonous fog spread outward for hundreds of meters before it finally stopped.

Everyone surrounded the poisonous mist, only to hear that there seemed to be a movement in the fog, but they couldn't enter to check it.

It wasn't until tens of seconds later that the poisonous fog gradually dissipated.

Everyone hurried back to the same place, only to find that there was no one in the same place, and the Sky Wolf and Mu Luo were all gone.

"It's the ...... of Sesia"

The patriarch immediately confirmed this, only a herbalist could use poison so skillfully, and the herbalist who would save the two of them at this time could obviously only be Sessia.

Confirming this, the patriarch secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Now he was sure that the arrow was aimed at him: someone in the tribe wanted to kill him, and they were trying to fish in troubled waters, splashing the dirty water that killed him on the wolf and Muro......

Coupled with the words of the heavenly wolf, he has already realized the problem: there really seems to be a traitor in the clan!

"For the last three hundred years, it's all parasites jumping into the lake?"

Recalling what the Heavenly Wolf had just said, the patriarch only felt sweat on his forehead, if this information was true, then the problem would be too big......

The former mechanic incident, just an outsider jumped into the Moon Lake, and the patriarch of the year resigned under the pressure to apologize, and during his tenure, for a full three hundred years, more than 2,000 life sacrificers, if they were really all parasites, then he would not be able to repay this sin even if he apologized for his sin with death......

Thinking of this, the patriarch immediately wanted to open his mouth to give some orders, but suddenly felt dizzy.

"No, there is poisonous ...... on that arrow" The patriarch realized this too late, his consciousness quickly drifted away, and he fell to the ground unconscious on the spot.

……

"What's going on......"

"Am I dead......

……

Mu You looked at the darkness around him, and his consciousness was hazy for a while.

At this time, nearly an hour had passed since he had just jumped into the lake.

The moment he entered the lake, he saw countless blue butterflies rushing towards him, as if he had jumped not into the Moon Lake, but into a sea of butterflies.

Every drop of water in the sea is made up of countless blue butterflies that are small down to the molecular level.

The moment he fell into the sea of butterflies, countless miniature butterflies around him swarmed up, gnawing and tearing all over his body, tearing his flesh and blood, biting off his bones little by little, and then eating them...... It wasn't until he devoured all his flesh that the riot was quelled.

Of course, it may just be a vision when he was dying, in fact, he was simply corroded by the water of Moon Lake.

Mu You died, and in the first second of entering Moon Lake, there were no bones left.

But he was not completely dead, and the last wisp of consciousness he had left did not die with his physical body, but turned into a blue butterfly and continued to sink until he sank to the bottom of the lake, where he was sucked into the unclosed eye of the moon by a strange gravitational pull.

For the next hour, Mu You felt like he was falling in the dark, and he kept falling......

Under the eye of the moon, it seems to be a bottomless abyss, and he can't see his five fingers, Mu You can't control his body, so he can only go with the flow and let himself sink.

I don't know how long he fell, but at one point, he finally felt himself sink to the bottom, and there seemed to be some light around him, and through the perspective of his soul, he could barely see something clearly.

It was indeed the bottom of a lake, full of mud and sand, dim and muddy.

Mu You tries to flap his wings and fly along the bottom of the lake.

The bottom of the lake was empty, except for a red ...... in the center of the mud Clothes?

Mu You was a little unsure, this dress was only the size of ordinary human clothes, and the surface seemed to be covered with scale armor, but it looked very soft.

Mu You landed on the neckline of the clothes, and found that next to the clothes, there was a stone carved human face.

Most of the face was submerged in the mud and sand at the bottom of the lake, and only half of it was exposed.

When Mu You looked over, the eyes that were exposed to the outside suddenly opened and looked at him.

Then, a voice sounded from Mu You's consciousness.

"It seems that you are the one I am waiting for...... You're finally here! ”

"Are you...... Mechanic? Mu You tried to communicate with this stone statue. He had long known that the mechanic was not dead, and when he met a conscious 'person' at the bottom of the lake at this moment, he naturally thought of the mechanic for the first time.

"Yes." The voice of the portrait continued to sound.

"What kind of situation are we in now? He's dead? Still not dead? Mu You is more concerned about his physical condition.

"Not dead...... Our bodies perish, but our minds lodge in a soul butterfly that takes us to the bottom of the lake...... All those who jump into the Moon Lake will go through this process, but the mind body will not be able to stay in the Moon Butterfly for a long time, and it will completely die out after a day or two. The voice said.

"What about you? How did you survive? ”

"Me? I was meant to perish, but I chose to merge with Moon Lake, so I've survived until now...... However, this is the end of it, the purpose of my existence to this day is to wait for your arrival, and now that you are here, I can finally be free......" The mechanic's tone was a little lighthearted.

"Wait for me? Why wait for me to ......"

Mu You was a little dazed.

"It's a long story...... See that red suit? The voice asked.

"See...... 'Suit', you say? Isn't that ......?"

"Yes, this is 'Chixiao', the ultimate Origin Armor I designed back then! I finished its model body, but it still needed Moon Lake for the final refinement, so I jumped into Moon Lake with it. ”

"It turns out that I guessed correctly, the tempering was indeed successful in the Moon Lake, the battle suit you see now is already a complete Red Sky Battle Suit, it is still intact under tens of thousands of years of deep Moon Lake immersion, its protective power, all its functions, are all the same as the ultimate battle armor of my dreams - except for a little ......"

"Is it big or small......" Mu You's face was strange.

When he saw this suit for the first time just now, the reason why he didn't dare to be sure that it was Chixiao was because this armor was too small, only the size of a human being, how could a giant wear it?

"Yes."

The mechanic's voice was a little sad: "The tempering was indeed completed on schedule, but it was not done for me. In the process of tempering, the volume of the battle armor has shrunk severely, causing my originally well-protected body to be directly exposed to the lake water, which was corroded in the first place. ”

"In addition to this set of armor, I also took the principle of this set of armor as the core, and designed thousands of sets of drawings of lower suits, whose functions involve all aspects of production and life, these are the brainchild of my life, all stored in the core of Chixiao."

"However, these lower-rank suits are also the same as Chixiao, they will shrink during the final tempering process, and their form will be greatly reduced, making them unsuitable for giants to wear."

"And if you want to make the armor bigger in equal proportions, to the size that the Protoss can wear normally, the materials will not be able to maintain the connection between them."

"It was also at that moment that I suddenly realized that this set of battle armor was not intended for our Protoss."

"At the beginning, I thought that the apocalypse was the inspiration given to me by God, I was the chosen one to save my own race, but in the end I realized that I was just a tool, and the meaning of my life was just to complete this set of armor for Moon Lake, and then wait here until it was handed over to its original owner."

"The original owner refers to...... I? Mu You asked uncertainly.

"It's not you, it's you. My efforts are not only for this piece of Chixiao, but also for a complete set of mechanical assistance systems developed in the process of creating it. These are not for individuals, but for a whole race. ”

"Fool ......" Mu You exhaled and understood what the mechanic meant.

"But why?" Mu You actually didn't understand very much, why did Jielin have to go to great lengths to trick the mechanic into working hard all his life to create such a mechanical system, but in the end it was to hand it over to the fool?

Just to let the Fool use this mechanical system to fight against the God Eater?

Mu You didn't think that this set of mechanical armor could play much role in the confrontation with the God Devouring Beast, because this set of armor not only needed to be tempered by Moon Lake, but the materials used were all materials from the Ring Forest, and the combination of these two conditions was destined to make this kind of armor impossible to mass-produce.

What's more, even if it really works, it should be used by the more powerful gods or ancestors to expel the devouring beasts, and it can't be the turn of the fool who hasn't even been born at that time.

"Yes, that's what I wondered about at the time!" The mechanic's voice sounded: "Why, my life, and even my race, can only be reduced to the wedding dress of another unknown race, what is the reason for all this?" Are we gods unworthy? ”

"I survived with this obsession, all the way to the bottom of the lake, angrily wanted to ask Moon Lake for an explanation, and finally even did not hesitate to merge with Moon Lake, I also wanted to find the answer to this question."

"And then, do you get an answer?" Mu You asked hurriedly.

"Yes, I got it!"

The mechanic's voice became a little excited: "At the moment of merging with Moon Lake, I saw the truth, I saw the past, present, and even future of this land, everything ......"

It was also at that time that I suddenly understood Moon Lake, and chose to obey Moon Lake's expectations, and did not dissipate directly, but continued to live in the form of a mental body...... It is only now, when I have passed on to you the truth of my life's work and the world, that my mission has come to an end......"

Mu You swallowed his saliva: "So...... The truth, what is it? ”

He didn't expect that the mechanic really knew the truth and was ready to tell him directly.

You know, this is something that makes the gods of order keep their mouths shut......

Mu You was very curious, what kind of truth would make the mechanic who had been tricked suddenly change his attitude, and even preferred to wait for tens of thousands of years at the bottom of the lake, just to wait for his arrival.

"Don't worry, this is a secret that must not be known by the outside world, and only in the core of this precept forest, where it is absolutely impossible for divinity to reach, when all foreign substances are excluded, and even you and I have even died out of the physical body, leaving only a mass of consciousness to be honest and honest, I dare to pass on the 'truth' to you with confidence."

"Even, after you leave Moon Lake and return to the divine world, you can't have this experience in your memory, otherwise you may still be detected by the outside world, resulting in a failure."

"So the rest of our conversation, when you get out of the lake, you're going to forget about it."

"Huh?"

Mu You was stunned when he heard this, if he was destined to forget all this, then what was the point of telling him the truth now?

"Meaningful!" The mechanic smiled: "Don't worry, the memory of this truth did not disappear out of thin air, but was hidden in your time, and at the right time in the future, you will remember everything here......"

"Okay...... You say. Mu You exhaled, indicating that he was ready.

"The truth is ......"

The mechanic slowly began to speak.

In the mechanic's calm tone, Mu You went from calm, to surprise, to shock.

When he heard this, his eyes widened and his heart was beating wildly.

He finally understood why the god of order said they were all just pawns......

From the mechanic's mouth, he learned a truth that subverted his three views.

And...... A plan to deceive the world. (End of chapter)
