This Text Adventure Game is Absolutely Toxic Chapter 675

　　　【You walk to the front of Jiemu and are about to explore the prison above. 】

　　【Two savages suddenly jumped out from nearby, holding spears and staring at you fiercely: "Who?" "What are you doing?"]

　　　【You hurriedly waved your hands and backed away to show that you meant no harm, and at the same time showed the paper crane on your chest. 】

　　【The two savages did not relax because of this, they still stared at you ferociously: "The prison... stay away!"]

Mu You hurriedly controlled the character to retreat, with a strange expression on his face. Is this really a prison?

However, this prison is different from ordinary prisons. Such a small prison seems to only hold one person... Who is it that needs to be held in solitary custody in such a solemn manner?

【Under the murderous threat of the two savages, you know that you cannot communicate, and you are about to leave, but suddenly a deep voice comes from the prison above: "Hey, let him come up."]

Hearing this, the two savages immediately put away their weapons and moved out of the way, and their eyes signaled you to climb up the tree quickly. 】

 “emmm…”

Mu You was even more confused. How can a prisoner here order the jailer? Are you really a criminal?

Strange in his heart, Mu You immediately controlled the character to climb up the tree.

　　【You relied on the wind rider characteristic to quickly climb up the Jiemu and arrived at the prison at the top. 】

　　【The slightly narrow wooden prison was empty, with only a table, chairs and a simple bed. 】

[Beside the window of the prison, there sat a savage dressed in rags and slovenly. The savage had a resolute face, a tall and mighty figure, and his skin was as rough and hard as an ancient tree. His thick black hair was blowing in the wind, and his eyes were as sharp as Falcon. 】

When you came in, the savage was wiping a long bow by the window. The bow with fine patterns was polished until it was shiny. The savage would pull the bow and look out the window from time to time to test its strength. 】

["Unknown outsiders are strictly prohibited from setting foot on the seventh floor without being monitored. Once discovered, all savages will be killed on the spot immediately. This is one of the iron rules left by the late king." The savages kept adjusting the bow strings. , suddenly said: "Although the savage tribe seems to live a loose life, some rules are very strict. If you broke in just now, no matter who you are or what your purpose is, there will be no room for maneuver."]

This savage speaks very fluently as soon as he opens his mouth. He is obviously a highly intelligent savage.

The other party's words made Mu You understand that he was indeed a little reckless. Fortunately, the other party stopped him in time.

　　【You ask the other party, why should 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 an outsider to come in here. If you die, I will have to wait again, maybe for many years." The savage said. 】

　　""What's the matter?" you asked. 】

　　　【The savage stopped wiping his bow and looked up at you: "Before that, you need to know my story first."】

"My name is Sirius. I come from a family of archers. I was carefully raised by my parents since I was a child, and I have developed a good shooting ability."]

["Fourteen hundred years ago, I won the championship at the Warriors Conference that year and became the strongest warrior of that year. Later, I was appointed as the captain of the First Division of the Ancestor Sentinel. I commanded 472 loyal warriors and was responsible for Daily patrols and guard work on the east side of the Ring Forest."]

"Originally, I only needed to work step by step, and then I could rise to the top and live without worries about food and clothing for the rest of my life."]

["It's just that I'm not satisfied with this. I am a radical who advocates territorial expansion. In addition to performing daily patrol tasks, I lead my men to explore without telling the clan leader, and plant Jiemu seeds along the way in an attempt to secretly Expand the scope of the Ring Forest."]

"The first few years went smoothly, but as we became more and more unscrupulous, the scope of exploration was further and further away from the hinterland of the Ring Forest, and something happened after all."]

　　【"We encountered a deserted bird outside..."】

Huang Wu?

Mu You was stunned when he saw this. The name was familiar to him, Yan Gu Mirage, and Huang Wu was one of the four natural disaster beasts. Although Huang Wu ranked last, according to Gu Snake, the strength of the natural disaster beast was not based on Ranked.

“The moment Huang Wu appeared, the surrounding area was covered with red ground, plants withered, animals died miserably, and all life died quickly in the desolation.”]

["I sensed something was wrong, and hurriedly wanted to lead my men back to the Ring Forest, but it was still too late. Huang Wu seemed to be angered by us and kept tracking us along the road. As a result, we were never able to escape from the deserted area. My soldiers fell one by one. I was the only one who entered the desolate land. I managed to escape from the desolate area with my strong physical strength. I was already seriously injured, skinny and almost dead. Fortunately, I was discovered by a passing tribesman, and I managed to save my life. But my 472 brothers stayed in that deserted land forever."]

"Afterwards, because I violated clan rules, concealed my secrets, and my private actions caused devastating damage to my troops, I was deprived of my status as squad leader and sentenced to life imprisonment."]

"I don't care about these culpability, I deserve it. What I care about are my 472 brothers, who are still in the deserted territory."]

"Because I was worried that another clan member would be attacked by Huang Wu, that area was designated as a forbidden area by the clan leader, and no clan members were allowed to go near it. Therefore, I couldn't ask other clan members to help me, so I could only ask outsiders for help."]

　　【Sirius looked at you when he said this: "You came in from the outside world. If you can come here, you must be considered an outstanding person outside."】

["I feel that things were a little strange back then. At that time, Huangwu was clearly capable of killing us easily, but he didn't take action. He just followed us all the way, letting my people fall one by one in the desolation... I don't know why, I always It felt like that Huangwu had another purpose at that time..."]

["I don't care, but I can't let my brothers die unknown, so I hope you can return to that area on my behalf and find out what happened there, whether my brothers are alive or dead, I all need a result."]

"You want to enter the seventh floor, so you want to see the clan leader, right? As long as you help me complete this matter, I will help you introduce the clan leader. Even though I am a prisoner, I still have this face."]

　　【Sirius has made you a request to explore the deserted land. Do you accept it? 】

Mu You touched his chin. He was actually not interested in what the savage was asking for. Instead, he was very interested in Huang Wu himself.

If it were before, if he were asked to face a natural disaster beast, he would definitely run as far as he could, but now he has opened the way of heaven, and the power of heaven can restrain the natural disaster beast to a certain extent. For him, It is not difficult to take a tour of the Scourge Beast's territory and leave safely. You may even have the opportunity to interact with the Scourge Beast face to face.

They are now fighting against the God-devouring Beast, and they need to draw in all the forces they can. If they can draw this Huang Wu into their own camp, their chances of winning will definitely be greatly improved...

Of course, he had no intention of going there personally. After all, it was not easy to come to Jie Lin, and it was obviously not something that could be done in a short time.

Mu You is going to ask the watchman to take Gu She. They are both natural disaster beasts. Gu She and Huang Wu should have some friendship and have the ability to resist Huang Wu. It is most suitable for it to come forward.

　　【You agreed to Sirius's request. Sirius took out an animal skin map and handed it to you: "This is the map we drew when we first went out to explore. The specific location where we encountered Huangwu is marked on it."]

  【You have obtained the 'Topographic Map of the Eastern Region of Ring Forest'. Regardless of whether this mission can be completed or not, this map alone is already worth the price of admission.

 Mu You finished his discussion with the wild man archer and was about to leave when he suddenly remembered something.

The other party just said that he became the captain of the Ancestor Sentinels 1,400 years ago, and Muro seemed to have been named captain during that period and disappeared. They are both sentry captains, so they might know each other. !

　　【Before leaving, you suddenly asked Sirius if he knew a wild man named Muro? 】

["Muro? You mean the captain of the third team?" Sirius nodded when he heard this: "Of course I know him. Muro was my opponent in the Warriors Conference back then. I defeated him in the last round and won the championship. Obtained the status of captain of the first team."]

　　　"But I heard that he disappeared later and never appeared again...Do you have any news about him?"]

 Sure enough, we know each other!

 Mu You hurriedly told what happened about Muro.

　　【You informed Sirius about Muro's deeds. 】

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

["I don't know much about her. I just heard that after Muro disappeared, Sethia seemed to be stimulated and her temperament changed drastically. She resigned as a herbalist, moved out of the tribe, and lived in seclusion at the end of the sixth floor, southeast. In a hut, because she lives alone all year round and rarely communicates with her tribe, it's hard to say whether she's still there now... You might as well go and have a look.”]

Mu You originally just mentioned it casually, but unexpectedly he actually asked for clues about Muro's mother.

 Muyou then said goodbye to Tianlang, left the prison, and went to the place instructed by Tianlang.

　　【You searched deep in the sixth floor and soon found a courtyard isolated in the jungle. 】

　　【The small courtyard is not big, looks a bit dilapidated, and is surrounded by grass. You walked to the courtyard gate. The simple wooden door was ajar, and there was a nursery surrounded by a fence, where some crops were planted. 】

In the courtyard, a white-haired female wild man was struggling to lift a bucket from the well and walked home with the bucket. 】

"Excuse me, are you the herbalist Sethia?" You asked proactively. 】

[Hearing the sound, the old man turned back to look at you, looked you up and down, shook his head and said: "You have found the wrong person. There is no herbalist here, only a dying old woman. If you are looking for a herbalist, you should go to the tribe." …”]

　　【After the old savage finished speaking, he ignored you and continued to walk home with the bucket in hand. 】

　　"It was Muro who asked me to come." You added. 】

　　【The bucket fell to the ground with a clang, and the water poured all over the courtyard. The old man turned back and looked at you in surprise, with some panic and nervousness flashing in his eyes: "Muro...Muro...who is it? This name...so familiar..."]

Mu You is a little sad. The old man even forgot his son's name. No wonder he didn't report the crime back then...

　　【You take out the stone that Muro gave you and go forward and give it to Sethia. 】

[Sesia looked at the little figure carved on the stone, her eyes suddenly widened, her palms trembled, and her tears couldn't stop falling: "I, I remembered, Muro, is my son, my lost son. My son...I actually forgot such an important thing..."]

"Muro asked you to come? In other words, he is still alive, right?" The old man suddenly looked at you and asked. 】

"Yes, Muro is still alive and well, but he is trapped outside..." You hurriedly informed the old man of Muro's situation. 】

"It's good to be alive..." The old man let out a long breath 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 to sit in the room, and poured you a glass of green concoction. 】

"Thank you for your hard work for him, my child. People from outside will be a little uncomfortable coming into the Jilin Forest. This is my family's ancestral Jiemu concoction. Drink it and it should make you feel better." The old man said with a smile. 】

You take the concoction and drink it, and the bitter taste like traditional Chinese medicine immediately fills your mouth, but the bitterness quickly dissipates, leaving a refreshing fragrance. 】

  【You suddenly feel that your thinking is sharp and your ears and eyes are much clearer. While the effect lasts, your text delay is temporarily reduced to 10-15 seconds. 】

 Mu You was a little surprised. He didn't expect that there was a potion that could reduce the game delay. These savage herbalists were better than imagined.

[You are savoring the concoction carefully. The old man next to you looks at you with a smile and suddenly says: "Speaking of which, a long time ago, when I was a child, someone like you came to Jie Lin. At that time My grandma also treated him with this concoction."]

Um?

Mu You was stunned. Someone like him? Have any other fools come to Jie Lin?

It's impossible. The old man was talking about when she was a child, which was at least thousands or even tens of thousands of years ago, right? It's hard to say whether the Fool will appear at that time...

Mu You quickly realized that like him, it did not refer to humans with the same body shape as him, but to people wearing mechas like him, mechanics?

　　【You quickly ask Sethia, what happened to that man? 】

["Yes, that man is just like you, and has trapped himself in this kind of iron knot. At that time, that man suddenly broke into the forest, but he was not welcomed by the tribe. He was disliked and driven away by everyone. He could only wander around in the tribe. He wandered and hid. Later, my grandma saw that he was pitiful and kindly took him in."]

["This man is actually not a bad person, but his mind is not normal. After living in my house for a while, one day he suddenly went crazy and said that he wanted to see the clan leader and said that he had found what he wanted. In the lake, he must go in and search."]

["Of course the clan leader would not agree. Moon Lake is the holy land of our clan, and it is impossible to let outsiders approach, so he was driven out as a madman... Since then, this man seemed to have calmed down, became taciturn, and no longer As a demon, he rarely communicated with us anymore, and the tribe gradually forgot about him... Until one day, at the moon sacrifice ceremony that year, when the full moon rose that night and everyone was busy worshiping the moon lake, this man Suddenly he rushed out from the corner and jumped into the Moon Lake..."]

Mu You looked weird. Mechanic, jumped into the moon lake?

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　lum Inn with a sigh of relief and no more narration , you hurriedly ask what happened next . 】

"Later? Of course he died. He jumped into the Moon Lake. His corpse was corrupted on the spot and no bones were left, and he never came out again."]

 Mu You was silent, the mechanic actually died like that...

He really didn't expect before he came that the mechanic did not die an unexpected death, 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 the Moon Lake?

What is there in the lake that is worth risking his life to get... (End of this chapter)
