This Text Adventure Game is definitely poisonous-Chapter 1565 - 673: Ancestor King, Child of the Moon_2

Mu You followed the instructions in the manual, guiding the character towards the direction of the blacksmith’s shop.

His armored figure was quite conspicuous in this place full of wildmen, and as he walked along, all the wildmen who passed by curiously surrounded him as if looking at an alien.

Mu You ignored these gazes, hung the paper crane on his chest, and swaggered in, yet none of the wildmen actively came to stop him.

After wandering near the village entrance for half an hour, Mu You found the so-called ’blacksmith’s shop’.

[A simple blacksmith shop appears before you. Inside the dim stone house, there’s a heap of a large amount of ores and wood. Outside the stone house is a tent made of gray cloth, below which sits a smelting table and a furnace composed of black crystal stones, emitting intense heat.]

[A wildman with extremely lush hair is sweating profusely in front of the furnace, tirelessly crafting a long spear with a ding-dang sound.]

[Big Beard notices your arrival, turns his head, the face buried in fluffy hair is exposed, he sizes you up with a glance, and a hint of surprise flashes in his eyes.]

["Oh? A fool? An unfamiliar face... finding me right after coming here, was it that kid Cammings who introduced you?" Big Beard said in a muffled voice, never stopping the action of forging.]

Big Beard made quite a display of ’extraordinary’ intelligence upon his arrival, not only speaking smoothly but also deducing a connection between Mu You and Cammings! This level of intelligence was already against the norm for wildmen!

Mu You was quite relieved to have finally found a wildman he could communicate with normally.

["Yes." You nod in response, simultaneously voluntarily handing over a slightly damaged Kirin Scale.]

The manual mentioned that this Big Beard was pretty decent, just a practical person; without benefits, he wouldn’t bother to pay attention to you, but as long as you provided enough benefits and created enough goodwill, he would indeed help you wholeheartedly.

It was certainly better than the majority of wildmen who resist any attempts at interaction. The couple had previously given gifts repeatedly to finally open a breakthrough with Big Beard here.

As a blacksmith, Big Beard’s favorite things were various precious materials and gemstones.

Mu You couldn’t bring himself to give a complete Kirin Scale, so he picked a defective piece to give away; however, even so, it was already regarded as a treasure in Big Beard’s eyes.

[Big Beard the wildman saw the scale you handed over, his eyes instantly lit up, and he threw down the spear he was crafting and the hammer, repeatedly wiped his blackened hands on his clothes before carefully accepting the scale for a closer examination.]

["Not bad, indeed a Kirin Scale, the formation is not bad either, though there is some damage... but that’s not a big issue, with my craftsmanship, I can fully use this scale to craft a quality shield!" Big Beard boasted, discreetly pocketing the scale, his gaze towards you softened significantly.]

["Not bad, I’ll take this item, if there’s anything you want to ask, go ahead, I’ll help you as much as I can." Big Beard inquired about your needs. You chose...]

Mu You didn’t waste any time, he went straight to the point and directly told Big Beard he wanted to see the Barbarian Tribe Leader.

["Ha ha, many want to see the Clan Leader, if I want to see the Clan Leader, everyone wants to see the Clan Leader, the Clan Leader would be too busy." Big Beard chuckled lightly and continued striking: "Don’t think about it, young man, you won’t get to see him."]

[You tell him that you have extremely important matters to report, concerning the safety of all the ancestors...]

Mu You directly told him the discoveries they made earlier and the news of how the Divine Devouring Beast normally researches parasitism, which was indeed meant to be notified to all the wildmen, so there was no need for concealment.

["New God Tribe..." Big Beard frowned upon hearing this: "Now that you mention it, indeed there have been several unexplained disappearances of clan members outside of Jie Lin over the years, could they have all been captured by those Divine Race members?"]

[Big Beard frowned and thought for a moment, but still shook his head and asked: "Then do you have concrete evidence to prove that those Divine Race have already researched something that can parasitize us?"]

[You truthfully shake your head, indicating there is no evidence.]

The concrete evidence he indeed did not have, the information obtained from the soul search of the red parasitic beast earlier also merely indicated that the Divine Devouring Beasts were conducting human experiments researching how to parasitize wildmen, whether the research had succeeded so far was uncertain.

The parasite attempt on Mu Luo by the Divine Devouring Beast was yet incomplete before he and Lin Xue intercepted it ahead of time; however, he strongly believed that if he hadn’t intervened back then, Mu Luo might eventually have been successfully parasitized.

["Without evidence, don’t think about it. Even if you see the Clan Leader, the Clan Leader wouldn’t believe you either, the Clan Leader is a firm believer in the ’Ancient Leader’." Big Beard said categorically.]

[You ask bewilderedly, what is the ’Ancient Leader’?]

["Ancient Leader is a great leader in the history of the ancestors, unanimously recognized as the ’Ancestors’ King’." Big Beard tosses out a rough silver coin, the surface of the coin engraved with a wildman raising a long spear: "This is the ’Jie Coin’, a currency only circulating within the ancestors, the figure sculpted on it is the Ancient Leader."]

["Ancient Leader is the first ’Son of the Moon Festival’, recognized by Moon Lake... You know Moon Lake, right? It’s the origin place of the Moon Butterfly, the site of the annual Moon Festival, the lake inside has extremely strong corrosive properties, any living creature, even if possessing the ancestors’ physique jumps in, their flesh will be instantly corroded completely."]
