This Text Adventure Game is Absolutely Toxic

 Mu You was still immersed in the mechanic's questions when a series of red texts suddenly popped up.

His character was attacked!

In order to save him, Ava ejected him from the armor, but the cost was that the armor was shattered by the attacker's punch.

Mu Youxin was talking about the situation. He wanted to get close to Yuehu just now, but he hadn't taken action yet. Even if a savage thought he had evil intentions, he should have controlled him first, so he wouldn't kill him directly, right?

This was not over yet. The savages who attacked him realized that one blow did not kill him, and immediately rushed forward to prepare for a last-ditch attack.

 Fortunately, the game character responded automatically, activated four wind abilities at the same time, and fled towards the council hall as quickly as possible. He didn't know what made this wild man crazy, but now it was obvious that only Sethia could save him.

　　【With the time Ava bought for you, you hurriedly disappeared into the wind again, fluttering with the wind, and gradually distanced yourself from the attacker...】

Just as you are about to approach the building ahead, another savage figure suddenly jumps out from behind the building, swinging a giant ax in his hand and slashing towards you. 】

　　【You had no way to avoid it, and you were hit by the ax blade from the front, and it was cut in two...】

　　【Before you died, you could barely see the face of the savage who killed you: he was one of the two jailors who were responsible for guarding Sirius you met on the sixth floor...】

  【You have died, your soul was attracted by the nearest soul-inducing lamp and returned to the green lamp...】

　　　…”

 Looking at the death text written in one breath, Mu You frowned and was speechless for a long time.

 He ​​did not try any more backtracking self-rescue operations. The text delay was far more than ten seconds. By the time he saw these texts, everything had already happened.

 There are more serious problems now than being killed.

It wouldn't matter if it was just a savage who suddenly went crazy and wanted to kill him, but two savages actually did it together, and there was obvious coordination between their actions.

 In other words, this was not an impromptu killing, but a premeditated attack!

Why?

 The answer is actually ready to come out.

 He had just arrived and met these savages for the first time, so it was impossible for him to have any hatred.

 The only person who has an undying enmity against him is the God-Eating Beast.

Mu You soon realized that these two savages might have been parasitized!

 On the surface, he looks like a normal savage, but his inner thinking has been controlled by the God-Eating Beast.

 The question now is, how many savages were parasitized?

It is impossible to say that all the savages were parasitized. Otherwise, Mu You would not have died just now. When he first entered the savage camp, he would have been pressed to death by countless savages on the spot.

And if only some savages are parasitized, these parasites have obviously been perfectly hidden among the savages, but they have not continued to infect other people... This can only show that these parasitized savages are probably no longer contagious.

“What’s wrong?” the herb collector asked when he saw the change in Mu You’s expression.

 Others also looked at Mu You.

  Mu You explained the situation in the game just now to several people.

 “Hiss…even the savage officials have been infiltrated?” The watchman was very surprised.

If only one or two ordinary savages were parasitized, the situation might still be under control. However, since senior savages have also been parasitized, this shows that the infiltration of the God-Eating Beast is likely to be quite deep!

 “Is it that red god-eating beast...” the herb picker pondered.

Lin Xue said at this time: "It seems that the study of this mutated parasite by the God-devouring Beast has been successful, but this parasite seems to only be able to carry out single-body parasitism."

“Furthermore, looking at Muro’s previous situation, we can guess that this kind of parasite will most likely require a period of several days to parasitize the savage until the savage’s spirit is exhausted enough to be weak enough before the parasite can truly complete the parasitism.”

"During the tug-of-war, the parasitized savages will be like Muro at that time, going crazy, not distinguishing between friend and foe, and showing great pain... If this weird situation occurs in the savage tribe, it is impossible for other savages to not notice it. Therefore, it is very possible that the parasitism process was not completed among the savage tribes, but outside the Ring Forest..."

 Those people registered as missing on the stone tablet?

As soon as Lin Xue reminded him, Mu You immediately remembered the forest of stone tablets he had seen before.

At that time, the stone tablet was densely filled with missing persons cases in history, but many of them returned again after missing for a period of time.

 Is it possible that some of these missing people were not lost, but were captured alive by the God-devouring beasts from the outside world, and then forcibly parasitized.

After the parasitism is successful, the people are released back to the Ring Forest. In this way, these parasitic savages can sneak into the savage tribe without anyone noticing, continue to live, and even trick more savages into leaving the Ring Forest, and then be captured by the outside world. Capture the God-Eating Beast alive and create more parasites...

It's a pity that Mu You didn't take a closer look at the command tablets at that time, otherwise, he should have found some clues at that time.

"It seems that it is necessary to go to the savage tribe in person..." Mu You suddenly stood up and said.

 “Go in person? Isn’t it too risky?” The watchman was surprised when he heard this.

How fragile humans are in the Ring Forest. Mu You has told them before that even with the protection of his armor, he was still completely abused by the wildling children.

What's more, now that the armor has been destroyed, Mu You is equivalent to taking a mortal body and going directly into the savage tribe, surrounded by beings who can shoot him to death.

 Zhenzhen has passed through, but there is no chance of resurrection. Once discovered by those parasitic savages...

“There is no other way, I have to take this risk...”

Mu You shook his head. The game characters had too many restrictions in the Ring Forest. The high delay caused both of his time abilities to be disabled. This was the main reason why his combat effectiveness was greatly reduced.

Moreover, he needed to get close to Yuehu to verify what the prompt from the time pocket watch was. I have tried it before. It is impossible to get close to Moon Lake using game characters. He can only go there in person.

Without further ado, after making some simple preparations, Mu You set off directly to the Star Spirit Realm, and then passed the Order Server and arrived at the City of Order.

After less than half a month, the scrapped Void Walker armor has been basically repaired.

Muyou used the Heart of Machinery and the Moon Stone to try opening the armor.

 Void Walker was indeed successfully lit.



 Fortunately, the Mechanical Heart had been on the game character before, following him all the way to the seventh level of the Ringing Forest. Now Mu You can teleport to any coordinates he passes in the Ringing Forest at any time.

After confirming that the Void Walker can be used, Mu You did not set off in a hurry, but first went to find the Blood God and Catalina. To be precise, he found the red God-Eating Beast that had been extracted from Muro's body.

 A moment later, Mu You saw the red jellyfish sealed in a transparent container again in a laboratory in the center of the city.

This mutated parasitic beast has certain research value, so it was not killed. However, this thing is still very dangerous. Once it is released, it will be very troublesome to parasitize into other people's bodies, so it can only be kept in an order where parasitism is prohibited. In the city, the Blood God was also asked to take care of it personally.

 The Blood God has blood suppression on this little thing, and only when she is present can this little thing feel at ease.

At this time, as Mu You approached the experimental table, the red jellyfish in the container suddenly went crazy, stared at him fiercely, and began to hit the inner wall crazily.

Looking at the condition of this little thing, Mu You was also a little surprised. After being locked up for so many days, he didn't eat or parasitize into the body of any living thing. As a result, not only was he still alive, but he still looked very energetic... This vitality was a bit scary.

On the table nearby, Lilith, who was placed in a birdcage, stared suddenly. The restless red jellyfish suddenly seemed to have been struck by lightning and slumped in the container.

 “Let’s get started.” Lilith suppressed the jellyfish and then looked at Mu You.

Mu You nodded. After the battle in the City of Order, Mu You has achieved the freedom of the blood of God. He has also directly promoted the blood sub-faith to the second generation vampire. He has accumulated a lot of blood law points. Before coming today, Mu You has already Click the 'Soul Search' and 'The Shining' blood laws to the full level.

 He came here specifically to find this God-eating beast this time just to search its soul and confirm some things from its memory.

Mu You stared closely at the red jellyfish, his eyes gradually becoming bloodshot, and scenes of flashes appeared in front of his eyes, all scenes he had seen since the creature was born.

As Mu You began to search for souls, the jellyfish in the container suddenly began to struggle fiercely again, but was suppressed by Lilith on the side and was unable to cause any waves.

 After a few minutes, Mu You finally withdrew his gaze and closed his eyes in meditation, carefully recalling all the details he saw.

 After a moment, he sighed and opened his eyes.

"How? Did you find the result you wanted?" Lilith asked.

 At this time, in the container, blood splashed everywhere, and the red jellyfish exploded all over its body. Its body was twisted and limp on the ground. It was completely motionless and it was obviously dead.

 “Hmm…” Mu You nodded.

 His soul search this time was more thorough than Lilith's before, so he directly killed the god-devouring beast.

In return, Mu You finally found the picture he wanted.

In this jellyfish’s memory, the ancestors who were captured for human experiments each had a number representing ‘one’ embroidered on their right arm.

Mu You had seen this kind of number tattoo on Muro before, but the one on his body was 'three'.

 The three in Muro represents the ‘Third Division’, and Muro is the captain of the Third Division. By analogy, the ‘one’ in these people naturally represents the ‘First Division’…

In other words, the savages in these The Shining scenes were all members of the First Division of the Savage Sentinels at that time, that is, the men of the ‘Sirius’!

Combining the time when Tianlang led his team to encounter Huangwu outside, and the time when God Killing and Seam God entered the City of Order, Mu You has vaguely guessed the cause and effect:

Fourteen hundred years ago, Sirius led his 472 members to open up wasteland on the east side of the Ring Forest. They accidentally encountered Huangwu and almost all his troops were wiped out. Only Sirius escaped by relying on his strength.

　　However, these men of his did not die in the hands of Huangwu, but were transferred to the hands of the God-Eating Beast.

By conducting a large number of human experiments on these savages, the God-Eating Beast developed this red God-Eating Beast that could be effective on the savages. The people responsible for researching the mutants at that time most likely included God-Slayer and God-Sewing.

However, the red mutant that was just developed still has flaws, and the fatality rate is too high. Only savages with strong enough vitality can survive, and it is difficult to parasitize ordinary savages.

At that time, when the City of Order was opening, God of Killing and God of Seams were appointed to develop the City of Order, so they brought a group of red jellyfish to the City of Order to continue their research. The jellyfish that is currently parasitic to Muro was at that time. One of the mutants brought by them.

 After that, the two sides split up and studied it separately, and it continues until now.

Unexpectedly, Zhan Shen and Sui Shen failed to produce results, but the experimental base on the other side made a breakthrough first. They should have developed a relatively perfect parasite, and began to capture savages outside the Ring Forest and create parasites. The body savages were sent back to Jie Lin.

 After thinking about all this, Mu You felt a little sad.

 Sirius's feeling was right. Huangwu did have another purpose at that time. He was not tracking Tianlang's troops to let them die, but to capture the savages alive.

 The only question now is: Why did Huang Wu do this?

There should be no conflict between Huangwu and the savages. Why did it capture the savages and then hand them over to the God-Eating Beast?

Is it possible that there was some agreement reached between Huangwu and the God-Eating Beast, and Huangwu fell to the camp of the God-Eating Beast?

 …

 Half an hour later, in front of the entrance to the first floor of Jie Lin.

As the silvery white light flashed across, a mechanical armor figure appeared out of thin air at the edge of the ring forest.

The next moment, Mu You walked out of the void walker's body, looked at the surrounding environment, and reached out to wave to the side.

 Herb gatherer, watcher, Linglong, three clones appeared next to him one after another.

Of course, these three are just the game characters of the clones.

 “This is Jie Lin? It looks quite spectacular!” The watchman looked at the surrounding environment and marveled.

The herb collector and Linglong didn’t speak, but they looked left and right, trying to familiarize themselves with the environment.

“This is the map recording the Huangwu activity area.” Mu You handed the map Tianlang gave him to the herb gatherer.

He specially called the clones here, naturally to investigate the matter of Huangwu. He would need to return to the savage tribe next. Without this time, he could only let the clones do it for him.

"OKOK, look at us! Be careful with yourself." The three of them didn't say much, took the map and set off immediately.

“Remember to walk along the edge of the Ring Forest. As long as you don’t step into the Ring Forest, you won’t be suppressed by the Ring Tree.” Mu You warned.

After watching the three people go away, Mu You returned to the Void Walker, activated the armor again, and positioned the teleportation coordinates on the sixth floor of the Ring Forest, in the forest of stone tablets in the Savage Tribe.

The Void Walker made a roaring sound, turned into a stream of light, and disappeared in place.

The next second, when his vision returned again, Mu You opened his eyes and saw that he had indeed arrived in the forest of steles. In front of him, densely packed black steles were arranged neatly, like a large cemetery.

At the same time, because Void Walker went deep into the Ring Forest, like the Black Angel before, all parts of his body shut down and he could no longer perform any operations.

 Mu You hurriedly got out of the Void Walker's body manually and looked around.

 Fortunately, there is no one nearby.

 Next, Mu You activated the wind hermit ability, dragged the armor to the woods behind, and found a hiding place to hide.

 After doing this, Mu You returned to the forest of steles, remaining invisible, and read the information on the stone tablets piece by piece.

　　I didn’t have time to take a closer look during the last game. Now I came here in person and took a closer look, and I found the problem.

 From the stone monument five hundred years ago, the number of missing people every year is quite normal, with slight fluctuations, but it has always remained within a hundred people per year.

Until a certain year three hundred years ago, the number of disappearances on the stone tablets suddenly increased! From dozens of people disappearing every year, there is a sudden increase to hundreds or even thousands of people missing every year, and the average number has more than ten times increased!

In other words, the God-devouring Beast probably completed the research on parasitic savages three hundred years ago, and then began to capture and parasitize savages on a large scale.

 Of these missing people, about one-third returned to the tribe.

 According to their previous analysis, the probability of this group of people being parasitized is extremely high!

 Mu You looked at the dense inscriptions in front of him, feeling a little numb.

Three hundred years ago, hundreds of savages disappeared and returned every year. Adding up the three hundred years, how many savages have been parasitized in the Ring Forest now?

 And these are still registered, and there are still many missing people who have no chance to report...

Mu You couldn’t imagine how far the current savage tribe had been infiltrated by the God-devouring beasts.

Most importantly, these savages are so mixed in with the ordinary savages that it is impossible to tell them apart unless they expose themselves.

 Every savage he encounters next may be a God-eating beast in disguise! (End of chapter)
