This Text Adventure Game is definitely poisonous-Chapter 1570 - 675: The Mechanic’s Ending

[You walk to the front of the Forbidden Wood, intending to investigate the prison above.]

[Two barbarians suddenly jump out from nearby, holding spears, glaring fiercely at you: "Who are you?" "What do you want?"]

[You quickly wave your hands to signal your peaceful intentions, while revealing the Paper Crane on your chest.]

[The two barbarians don’t relax and continue to glare at you menacingly: "Stay away from the prison grounds!"]

Mu You quickly controls the character to back away a bit, his expression a little odd, is this really a prison? freewebnøvel.coɱ

But this prison is quite different from a typical one, it seems so small and appears to hold only one person... Just who must be imprisoned so ceremoniously all alone?

[Under the menacing threat of the two barbarians, you realize communication is impossible, about to leave when an imposing voice suddenly echoes from the prison above: "Hey, let him come up."]

[Upon hearing this, the two barbarians immediately retract their weapons, clear the path, and gesture for you to climb the tree quickly.]

"Emmm..."

Mu You is even more bewildered now, the prisoners here can order prison guards around? Is this really a prisoner?

Though puzzled, Mu You promptly controls the character to climb up this Forbidden Wood.

[Relying on the Windrider characteristics, you swiftly climb the Forbidden Wood, arriving before the prison at the top.]

[The rather narrow wooden prison is empty, containing only a desk, chair, and a simple bed.]

[By the window of the prison sits a shabby, unkempt barbarian; his face stern, his stature tall and powerful, his skin rough and rugged like an ancient tree, flowing thick black hair in the wind, eyes sharp and piercing like a hawk.]

[As you enter, the barbarian is at the window, wiping a Longbow whose intricately patterned bow body gleams under his care, occasionally drawing the bow to aim outside, testing the strength.]

["The seventh floor strictly prohibits unknown outsiders from entering unmonitored; once discovered, all barbarians will immediately execute on the spot, this is a strict law from the former king." The barbarian maintains his bowstring adjustment and suddenly speaks: "Though the Barbarian Tribe appears to live a carefree life, certain rules are strictly kept. If you had charged in earlier, no matter who you are, there would have been no room for negotiation."]

This barbarian speaks in fluent language right off, clearly a high-intelligence barbarian.

His words make Mu You realize indeed some rashness, fortunately, he intervened just in time to stop it.

[You ask why he saved you?]

["Didn’t save you, just because I have a task to entrust to you, waiting for an outsider to arrive here is not easy; if you die, I would have to wait all over again." The barbarian says.]

["What task?" You ask.]

[The barbarian stops wiping the bow, looks up: "Before that, you need to know my story."]

["My name is Skywolf, born into an archer family, cultivated meticulously by my parents from a young age, mastering superb archery skills."]

["Fourteen hundred years ago, I won the champion title at the Warrior Gathering, becoming the strongest warrior of the year, later appointed as the captain of the first platoon of the Ancients’ Sentry, leading 472 loyal warriors, responsible for the routine patrolling and guarding of the eastern side of Jie Lin."]

["Originally, just following procedure could earn me smooth advancement, a lifetime of comfort."]

["But this didn’t satisfy me; I am an expansionist, aggressive about exploring territories, secretly conducting major explorations beyond the clan leader’s knowledge during routine patrol tasks, planting seeds of Forbidden Wood along the way, attempting to expand the boundaries of Jie Lin."]

["Initially went smoothly for a few years, but as we grew more reckless, exploring further away from Jie Lin, trouble inevitably arose."]

["We encountered the Wasteland Crow outside..."]}

Wasteland Crow?

Mu You is stunned; Flame Gacha Mirage, Wasteland Crow is one of the four Beasts of Catastrophe, although it ranks last, according to Gusha, the strength of the Beast of Catastrophe is not determined by ranking.

["When the Wasteland Crow appeared, the surroundings turned into desolate land instantly, plants withered, animals died miserably, all life perished in the desolation."]

["Sensing danger, I hurried to lead my men back to Jie Lin, yet it was too late, the Wasteland Crow seemed enraged by us, kept tracking us along, preventing us from leaving the desolate area, my warriors fell one by one in the barren land, only I, relying on strong physical prowess, forcefully escaped the desolate area, already heavily injured, reduced to bones, almost at death’s door, luckily discovered by passing clansmen, barely surviving. But my 472 brothers, they eternally remained in the barren land."]

["Later, for violating clan rules, concealing and being personally responsible for causing the squad’s devastating losses, my platoon captain’s status was revoked, sentenced to life imprisonment."]

["I don’t mind these charges, it’s my deserved punishment. What I care about is my 472 brothers, they are still there in the Wasteland Crow’s territory."]

["Because worried about further clan attacks by the Wasteland Crow, that area was declared forbidden by the clan leader, strictly prohibiting any clansmen from approaching, thus, I can’t seek help from the clansmen, can only rely on an outsider’s assistance."]

[Skywolf looks at you as he speaks: "Since you came from the outside, reached here, presumably a remarkable person in the outside world."]
