This Text Adventure Game is definitely poisonous-Chapter 1564 - 673: Ancestor King, Child of the Moon

[As the scenery in front changes, you step into an even denser jungle.]

[You have arrived at the sixth layer of Jie Lin.]

[Warning: In the current environment, game text transmission encounters significant delays. You cannot transmit items through the game; all text will appear with a delay of 30-40 seconds.]

After leaving the Kirin Nest, Mu You spent a day and night successfully reaching the sixth layer.

The delay indeed intensified again, but Mu You was already unaffected. A delay of twenty or thirty seconds made no difference to him, as it was all temporary game AI operations anyway.

With the ’Wind Listener’ talent now, he specifically chose windy places to walk. Most things can be sensed in advance, greatly reducing the danger.

It is precisely thanks to the Wind Listener and the Concealed Wind, along with the cooperation of two other abilities, that he once again embarked on the journey without obstacles. Not only could he hide himself, but he could also predict the dangers around him in advance. Therefore, even with a delay of several dozen seconds, he easily passed through the sixth layer, almost without encountering any combat.

[A strong wind blew past you, and you captured some information from the wind: Faint human voices came from the front, accompanied by wisps of smoke, bringing with them the aroma of roasted food.]

Mu You was somewhat excited; he finally found the Barbarian Tribe. In just a few days in Jie Lin, it felt like he had undergone eighty-one trials.

[You proceed in the direction of the food aroma. Along the road, it is very peaceful, with only the sounds of insects and birds, and some harmless small animals occasionally poking their heads from nearby branches, curiously watching you. You have not captured any scents of large carnivorous animals in the wind.]

Upon entering the sixth layer, it was indeed safer.

After thinking about it, it made sense. The sixth layer had a large gathering of barbarians, much like human cities, so wolves, bears, tigers, and leopards, all those with aggressive tendencies, were suppressed and unable to survive.

[As you move forward, the forest suddenly becomes sparse. You climb up for a better view and find that the path ahead is winding and intersecting. Various rudimentary stone and wooden buildings are everywhere. The outer buildings are specifically painted in different colors to repel large beasts. Between the buildings, there are also many simple plantations and animal pens fenced off.]

[Inside the village, the silhouettes of numerous barbarians crisscross. These barbarians are tall, with deep brown skin, and are similarly painted in various colors. They wear decorations made of animal skins and beast bones, giving the entire tribe a primitive and mysterious vibe.]

[Ahead of the tribe, a gate made of spiked logs stands upright.]

[You approach, and suddenly two spear-wielding barbarians jump out, blocking your way.]

[The two barbarians glared at you menacingly, raising their spears, pointing them at you, while continually making ’ooo-wa-wa’ noises, seemingly to drive you away. You choose...]

[You quickly showed them the Paper Crane (a token of friendliness).]

[The two aggressive barbarians saw the Paper Crane in your hand, and the killing intent finally subsided, each retracting their spears.]

["You... are a friend..."]

["Friend... allow passage..."]

[After the two barbarians spoke, they no longer paid attention to you and returned to guard the tribal gate.]

[You stand before the tribal gate, looking at its lively yet primitive scene, as if you’ve just transitioned from prehistoric times to the Stone Age, feeling slightly dazed.]

[The two barbarians saw you remain motionless and frowned as they looked at you: "You... not leaving yet?"]

Mu You took the opportunity to tell the two that he wanted to see the Barbarian Clan Leader and asked them to inform him.

However, the two barbarians shook their heads in unison, indicating it wasn’t their business. Their duty was to guard the gate and they couldn’t leave their post.

"..." Mu You was speechless. Communication was indeed difficult; the barbarians seemed single-threaded, only following one command rigidly, entirely unaware of flexibility.

Just sending a notification of such a simple task was impossible to achieve.

[You ask the two again, where is the Clan Leader?]

["Clan Leader... seventh layer..."] The barbarians struggled to squeeze out two words, and then fell silent, once more making a driving gesture, indicating that you should go by yourself and not disturb their work here.

"..."

Mu You left silently, and meanwhile, in reality, he flipped through the survival manual that Cammings had given him.

This manual recorded various common creatures in Jie Lin, and of course included information about barbarians.

The last Chapter of the manual was devoted to a full three pages introducing barbarians.

The first notice among them was ’Don’t communicate with the Barbarian foot soldiers,’ which is futile. For these low-intelligence barbarians, conversation is something that requires them to use their brains extensively; let alone command them to do anything.

However, there are also some high-intelligence individuals among the barbarians. Here, ’high intelligence’ refers to being intelligent relative to their own kind. Compared to humans, they are actually on par with ordinary people. But this level of intelligence is already outstanding among barbarians.

In summary, if you want to communicate, you can only find these people, and such barbarians have one obvious characteristic: they can converse fluently.

Also, on the last page, Cammings specifically introduced a high-intelligence barbarian named Fokker, nicknamed Big Beard, who is the owner of an iron forge.

This person is an acquaintance of the Cammings couple. Every time they enter the Barbarian Tribe, they prioritize trading with this Big Beard, and the previous intelligence regarding the Fool was secretly told by this Big Beard.
