Chapter 684: Born by the Moon
Mu You's consciousness was silent at the bottom of the lake, and the surroundings were dark, silent, and deep, and he couldn't see anything.
In a trance, Mu You only remembered that he seemed to have seen someone at the bottom of the lake, and the other party chattered a lot to him.
His instincts told him that it was something important, but he couldn't remember exactly what it said.
At this moment, he couldn't move, he couldn't wake up if he wanted to, he couldn't even open his eyes, Mu You's consciousness could only be forced to be silent under the cold lake water, muddy, half-asleep and half-awake.
It was dark all around, but it was boundless, like being in an empty universe with no light.
I don't know how long later, a colorful light suddenly burst out in the darkness, like a cluster of fireworks, illuminating the originally black and boundless space.
In this overlapping fusion of shining light and shadow and darkness, Mu You seemed to see a newborn planet, formed in a chaotic nebula.
The rotating matter gradually formed a disk-like structure, like a giant merry-go-round, where gas and dust gradually gathered under the action of gravity, forming areas with higher density, entangled, torn, devoured, and solidified with each other.
The planet's surface began to condense into landforms, mountains, canyons, plains, and oceans...... The sun rises and the moon sets, spring goes to winter, life is born, all things evolve, the colorless world is gradually dyed with color, and the form of life gradually becomes complex and colorful from simple outlines......
Countless planet images flashed back wildly in front of Mu You's eyes at a flying speed.
Mu You felt as if he had turned into a dust, erupting from a flare of a star, covered in countless interstellar dust, and finally being hit into the universe and falling into a vast ocean.
Then he incarnated as an infinite reincarnation cell, drifting with the waves in the natural cycle, sometimes as a plant, sometimes as an animal, sometimes as a cloud, falling with the raindrops on the planet, rising with steam, blooming with the earth, withering with flesh......
It seemed like a moment later, and as if countless years had passed, Mu You felt that he had followed this planet and participated in the evolution of all life from nothing.
He couldn't tell whether he was a personal experiencer or a bystander, most of the time, he was just a small cell, but every life on this planet seemed to have his participation.
In other words, every life born in this land was once himself, and all the lives born in the future will also be played by him.
He is the 'everything' of this land!
……
In this chaotic and hazy leap of consciousness, until a certain moment, a cold beam of light illuminated his eyes.
Mu You opened his eyes, as if awakened from a dream, only to find that he was still sinking at the bottom of the dim and turbid lake.
On the black rock formation overhead, a gap suddenly appeared at this time.
The circular stone plate moved quietly, connecting the upper and lower lakes, and also allowing a ray of moonlight from the outside world to shine through the cave and shine into the deep lake water, shining directly in Mu You's eyes.
In a short period of time, the moonlight changed from a crescent moon to a full moon, like an eye that had been closed for a long time, from closing the eyes to opening the eyes, and finally looking at him.
Mu You sank to the bottom of the lake, looking at the eye of the moon above, and in the pure moonlight, he suddenly had a kind of realization: everything he saw just now flashed back, maybe it was what this 'eye of the moon' saw and heard.
It is like a lonely bystander, hanging in the sky forever, witnessing the birth, aging, sickness and death of this planet from a bird's-eye perspective......
Mu You suddenly felt that he was starting to rise.
Looking down, he was still in a butterfly state, standing on the red suit and not moving.
Rather, it was the red suit itself, pushed by a buoyant force, and quickly floated towards the hole above.
Mu You quickly passed through the hole of the Eye of the Moon with his suit and entered the surface of the Moon Lake.
The moment Mu You appeared, in the lake above, countless miniature blue butterflies hidden inside the water droplets floated in, gathered around him, burrowed into the inside of the suit, and constantly spit out particles of dust and debris.
At first, Mu You didn't recognize what it was, but it wasn't until he found some scraps of flesh and bones in the dust that he realized that these were his flesh!
His body, which had been devoured by these butterflies before, was being returned by these butterflies little by little.
As the dust accumulated, a humanoid skeleton gradually took shape inside the suit, followed by blood, blood vessels, muscles, skin, and hair......
How quickly it was dissolved when you jumped into the lake before, how quickly it will coalesce at this time.
In the blink of an eye, Mu You's body went from nothing and recombined into a complete body.
At the same time, the butterfly that carries Mu You's consciousness naturally burrows into the brain of the body.
……
The Savage Patriarch woke up in a tingling pain.
When he opened his eyes, he found himself lying on the bed in his room, unable to move.
A female savage sat on the edge of his bed, holding a thin straw pole and trying it at him.
The patriarch recognized this woman as one of the new herbalists in the clan.
He quickly remembered that he had been hit by a poisoned arrow, and that the woman was supposed to be treating him at this time.
But he soon realized that something was wrong.
His toxin didn't seem to have lessened, but it was much worse than when he was hit by the arrow.
It stands to reason that he, as the head of the clan, has been in a coma for so long, and he should have been properly treated, but the result was the opposite......
The patriarch was taken aback, and he had already realized a possibility: could this woman also be ......
Before he could figure it out, he heard a conversation coming from the direction of the doorway not far away.
"The patriarch is critically ill and is being treated, and needs a quiet environment, so don't disturb!"
"In order to prevent the spies from getting involved, I will convey all the next news to the patriarch......"
After the voice said a few words, there seemed to be some commotion outside, but it was forcibly suppressed by this person, and everyone quickly retreated.
Then the owner of the voice walked towards the house.
After a few seconds, the man walked to the bedside, and the patriarch finally saw the man's face.
"Yoman !!"
The patriarch glared at the savage elder in front of him, his eyes almost breathing fire,
He is now completely sure that Yuman is a traitor!
The previous poisoned arrows were probably fired at his behest.
At this time, the other party used his identity as an elder to put him under house arrest, and the female herbalist next to him was probably also with the other party!
Thinking of this, the patriarch wanted to jump up and strangle these two traitors immediately, but unfortunately, his whole body could not move under the effect of the toxin, and he could not make any sound in his throat.
"Oh? Awake? Yuman also noticed the patriarch who had opened his eyes at this time.
Noticing that the other party saw the appearance of the enemy who killed his father, Yu Man sneered: "Don't get excited, the reason why you are still alive is because you still have use value, but don't make yourself angry first." ”
As he spoke, several savages rushed in from outside the door, holding sacks, ropes, and other things in their hands.
The patriarch glared, instinctively feeling bad.
"Hehe, don't be nervous, it's just a trip to send you out of the ring forest, if you're lucky, I will send you back before the end of the moon festival, and when the time comes, you will be our 'own person'." Yuman had a smug smile on his face, but the words he said made the patriarch's heart cold.
The other party wants to transform him into a parasite!
And once he, the patriarch, is occupied by parasites, what will happen to the race?
Thinking of this, the patriarch hurriedly struggled desperately, squirming his lips that could still move, and tried to bite his tongue to kill himself, he was not afraid of death, he was afraid that he would continue to drag down the clan after death.
It's a pity that the enemy won't give him this chance.
Without waiting for the patriarch to act, he was once again pricked with 'a needle' of poison by the female savage, and the patriarch's consciousness quickly sank.
At the end of his sleep, he vaguely heard the laughter in Yuman's mouth: "Speaking of which, I really have to thank that fool, if he hadn't suddenly come to stir up the situation, I wouldn't have found such a good opportunity to replace you naturally......"
……
Night.
The bright moon rises, the singing and dancing in the seventh layer of the ring forest are still there, and the moon festival ceremony is carried out as usual.
However, because of yesterday's events, the atmosphere of today's festival is a little dull.
Yesterday's moon festival was interfered with by outsiders, and the patriarch was seriously injured, and it is said that he is still in a coma and cannot come forward to preside over the ceremony, but the moon festival cannot be stopped.
According to the clan rules, when the patriarch is unable to come forward, an acting patriarch needs to be elected, and the acting patriarch will preside over the affairs.
At this moment, standing on the altar in place of the patriarch was Yuman.
After a day of fermentation, such as today's wolf, Muro, and Cessia, the fool who blasphemed the Moon Lake and died, has been beaten into an iron villain, and Yuman, who once firmly opposed these people, has successfully taken over the position of acting patriarch.
Most of the other clansmen had no objection to this, and the few who remained skeptical were forcibly suppressed by the sudden outbreak of neat and uniform praise around them.
Soon, the time came late at night.
As the full moon rose to the highest sky, in the center of the Moon Lake, the stone disk of the Eye of the Moon moved again.
Countless blue butterflies flew out of it, rendering the Moon Lake beautiful.
"Go ahead!"
On the altar, Yuman patted the shirtless wild man beside him and gave him a reassuring look.
This wild man is the one who is the living sacrifice of today.
After stepping down from the altar, the wild man ripped off his clothes, stepped naked through the cordon, and walked towards Moon Lake.
Along the way, he was cautious and vigilant, looking left and right, for fear that another arrow would come from around and follow in the footsteps of the one who sacrificed yesterday.
As a result, what is afraid of what comes.
The savage took a few steps, and then several sounds of breaking the air sounded.
A series of seven or eight arrows shot at great speed from a certain direction.
The savage subconsciously dodged and successfully dodged the first three arrows, but was still hit by the next few arrows, one in his legs, one in his chest, and one in his right shoulder.
The wild man fell to the ground, screaming and screaming, unable to move any further.
At the same time, in the other direction, the hooded wolf jumped out from the back of the crowd, and a tumbling jumped into the cordon, rushing towards the Moon Lake, and on the way, he did not forget to draw a bow and arrow, and made up a knife at the wild man here, and an arrow accurately pierced the wild man's head.
The wild man was killed on the spot, and the wolf threw down his bow and arrows, ripped off his clothes, ignored the pursuers behind him, and strode towards the Moon Lake.
All this is exactly the same as the scene where Mu You rushed to Moon Lake yesterday.
The only difference is that the strength of the Sky Wolf is even stronger, and under the full burst, the speed is far better than Mu You, and before most of the wild people have reacted, the Sky Wolf has already rushed to within twenty meters of the Moon Lake.
However, just as the wolf was about to approach the lake.
Four figures suddenly jumped out of the nearby sand, right in front of and around the wolf.
At the same time, the four of them pulled the rope in their hands in unison, and under the sand on the ground, a huge net was pulled out, binding the wolf in the net.
The wolf was startled, only then did he realize that this was a trap, and the four of them had apparently been ambushed here since daylight, waiting for him to appear and throw himself into the net.
The wolf hurriedly struggled with all his might, trying to break free.
It's a pity that the four savage men firmly pulled the ropes at the four ends, and with the strength of the four people, they barely suppressed the heavenly wolf.
"Hehe, the same mistake, you think I'm going to make it twice?" On the altar, Yuman looked at the wolf who had been successfully captured, and a triumphant smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
At the same time, under the sand in front of the Sky Wolf, another wild man jumped out, one of the six life sacrificers who had been selected before.
As soon as the wild man appeared, he sneered at the Sky Wolf, ripped off his clothes, and in the desperate gaze of the Sky Wolf, he turned his head and jumped towards the Moon Lake that was close at hand.
In the chaos, no one noticed.
At this time, under the clear water of the lake, a red battle suit quietly passed through the Eye of the Moon and floated to the surface of the Moon Lake.
And inside the suit, a humanoid figure was like a rewind, quickly polymerizing and forming.
Above the lake, the wild man in the sky only felt a flower in front of him, and saw a red light and shadow shoot out of the water, and hit him directly.
The next moment, he felt only a pain in his chest, and then he was knocked out by a huge force, crossed a graceful parabola, and fell headfirst into the sand in the distance.
At the same time, a figure covered in crimson close-fitting armor landed lightly on the edge of the lake.
The scene was silent for a while.
Behind the cordon, all the savages watched this scene blankly, and for a moment they were a little suspicious of their eyes.
Someone, jumped out of the lake?
It wasn't until a dozen seconds later that someone was the first to react to what it meant.
"Moon Festival...... The son? ”
"The Son of the Moon Sacrifice has appeared?"
"He's ...... Yesterday's ......"
……
The noise grew louder and louder, quickly overpowering everything else.
In the distance, above the altar, Yuman's eyelids were already jumping wildly when he saw the figure jumping out of the water, and he had a premonition that something bad was happening.
At this time, listening to the noise around him, he hurriedly shouted silence, trying to suppress these discussions, especially the term 'son of the moon sacrifice', at this moment he wanted to block it from everyone's memory.
It's a pity that such a big thing is in front of him, and no one even cares about the Moon Festival itself, who has time to pay attention to him?
There was an uproar at the scene, all the wild people were talking to each other, the noise was getting louder and louder, and the discussion about the 'Son of the Moon Festival' quickly spread throughout the audience. (End of chapter)
