This Text Adventure Game is definitely poisonous-Chapter 1574 - 676: Chixiao_2

Mu You took a deep breath. No matter the outcome, he had come this far, so he had to give it a try.

[You followed Scythia all the way to the front gate of the seventh level.]

[Several fully armed Barbarian Tribe soldiers blocked your way.]

[Scythia stood in front of you, explained to them, and vouched for you multiple times before the soldiers finally allowed passage. However, two soldiers continued to follow closely behind you, watching your every move.] freewebnσvel.cѳm

[Entering the seventh level, you found that the population density was noticeably sparser than on the sixth level.]

[According to Scythia, only mid-to-high-ranking personnel among the Barbarians are qualified to reside long-term on the seventh level.]

[With Scythia leading the way, you eventually arrived in front of a large building in the center of the second level. The stone sculpture in front of the building was inscribed with the words ’Council Hall’.]

["Let’s go, the Clan Leader is inside." Scythia called out to you before entering.]

[Just as you were about to follow inside, you suddenly felt a subtle thought from the Seed of Time in your mind.]

[Unfortunately, the thought was too weak, disappearing before you could identify it.]

[Urged by the soldiers behind, you had to proceed into the Council Hall first.]

The text seemed to hint that something unusual had occurred, but under the watchful eyes, Mu You couldn’t delve into it and had to skip it for now.

[Upon entering the building, you heard an elderly voice in the depths of the hall furiously cursing.]

["Useless, all of you are useless!"]

["Are you all pig-brained? Such a trivial matter needs me to personally... " "Everyone better be on high alert, the Moon Festival is imminent, and no mistakes are allowed..."]

[Amidst the elder’s angry cursing, several drowsy Barbarians yawned as they passed you, leaving the hall.]

[Following Scythia into the hall’s interior, you saw an elderly Barbarian with white hair sitting behind a desk piled with various papers and documents. The elder’s face was flushed, veins bulging on his forehead, as he clutched his chest with one hand and shakily picked up a Potion from the desk with the other, drinking it down in one go, which eased him a bit...]

This old Barbarian was likely the Barbarian Clan Leader, and it was clear that he was indeed busy.

It’s not hard to understand, Mu You thought to himself. If he were in the other’s shoes, facing a group of dim-witted Barbarian subordinates every day, he’d probably get apoplexy too.

[The elderly Barbarian then noticed you approaching with surprise, "Scythia? You are quite a rare guest..."]

[Looking towards Scythia, the elder’s face showed guilt: "Years ago, because I refused your request, you completely changed, resigned from your position as a Herbalist, moved out of the tribe, and stopped interacting with others... After all this time, have you finally let go?"]

[Facing the elder’s inquiry, Scythia was expressionless and gave no response.]

[The elder’s face showed more guilt and sighed: "It wasn’t ruthlessness on my part back then, but the location of that spatial gap was too dangerous. If outsiders knew about it, Jie Lin would never be peaceful again. I had to take that measure for the tribe’s safety. Even Mu Luo would understand my actions."]

[Hearing Mu Luo’s name, Scythia showed a trace of displeasure, saying coldly: "Thanks to you, my son is doing well. I’m here today not to bring up past matters, but to introduce this child to you."]

[Only then did the Barbarian Clan Leader notice you hiding behind Scythia, looking you up and down: "Who are you? What do you want?"]

From Scythia and the Clan Leader’s conversation, Mu You had vaguely guessed what was going on.

Evidently, after Mu Luo went missing years ago, Scythia came to the Clan Leader, hoping he would send more people to find Mu Luo. But unfortunately, for the sake of racial security, the Clan Leader not only didn’t search but also ordered the entrance to be blocked off.

This way, Jie Lin was safe, but it was equivalent to sacrificing Mu Luo.

Brief thoughts crossed Mu You’s mind, but he didn’t say much. This was their internal affair and had nothing to do with him.

With the rare opportunity to communicate with the Clan Leader, Mu You hurriedly sent a carefully crafted piece of information, introducing his identity and purpose, clearly stating the crisis the Barbarian Tribe was facing.

[As you were explaining the situation, the Barbarian Clan Leader suddenly interrupted: "No need to say more, young man, I understand your intention."]

["Thank you for the warning. We will watch the Divine Race’s movements. But if you intend to have the forebears ally with you to fight the Divine Race, then forget it."]

["The former king led our tribe to seclusion here to avoid being drawn into the continental power struggles. ’Keep true to oneself, strictly guard Jie Lin, never meddle in affairs outside Jie Lin, and our tribe can remain Everlasting,’ that was the former king’s command."]

["Your baseless speculation, or the former king’s commands, which do you think I would believe? Who would the tribesmen believe?"]

Just as Scythia expected, the Clan Leader indeed rejected his persuasion.

Mu You, unwilling to give up, continued to persuade, elaborating extensively on the threat of the Divine Devouring Beast and the benefits of two races cooperating.

Unfortunately, no matter what he said, the Barbarian Clan Leader remained unmoved, sticking to one stubborn belief: as long as they remained isolated in Jie Lin, the tribe would be safe. The former king’s command must not be violated.
