This Text Adventure Game is definitely poisonous-Chapter 1576 - 677: Jie Lin Version of Werewolf

Mu You was still immersed in the Mechanic’s question when a series of red texts abruptly popped up.

His character was attacked!

Ava, in an effort to save him, ejected him from the battle suit, at the cost of having the suit shattered by an attacker’s punch.

Mu You thought, what is going on, he was just thinking of approaching Moon Lake, but hadn’t acted yet. Even if some barbarian thought he harbored ill intentions, they should have restrained him first instead of going straight for the kill, right? ƒrēewebnoѵёl.cσm

But this wasn’t over yet; the barbarian, upon realizing one blow hadn’t killed him, immediately rushed forward to finish the job.

Luckily, his game character automatically responded, simultaneously activating four wind abilities, and fled towards the council hall in any way possible. He didn’t know what was driving this barbarian mad, but it was clear now that only Scythia could save him.

[Using the time Ava secured for you, you hurriedly concealed yourself within the wind, drifting along while gradually widening the distance from your attacker...]

[Just as you are about to approach the building ahead, another barbarian’s figure suddenly leaps out from behind the building, swinging a giant axe towards you.]

[With no escape route, you are cleaved directly by the axe blade, split into two...]

[Before dying, you barely make out the face of the barbarian who killed you: one of the prison guards responsible for guarding Skywolf on the sixth level when you encountered them...]

[You have died, your soul attracted by the nearest Soul Lamp, returning to the Green Lamp below...]

"..."

Staring at the seamlessly unfolding death text, Mu You furrowed his brow and remained silent for a long time.

He no longer attempted any retrospective rescue; the delay in the text was far beyond ten seconds. By the time he saw the text, it had all already happened.

Moreover, compared to being killed, there were more urgent matters at hand.

If it were only one barbarian suddenly going berserk to kill him, that would be one thing, but it was two barbarians acting together, obviously in coordination.

This implies that it wasn’t a spontaneous killing but a premeditated attack!

Why?

The answer is actually becoming apparent.

He’s new here, meeting these barbarians for the first time, there’s no way to generate hatred.

The one with enmity against him is the Divine Devouring Beast.

Mu You quickly realized that these two barbarians might have already been parasitized!

On the surface, they appear just like normal barbarians, but internally, their thoughts have become those of the Divine Devouring Beast.

The current question is, how many barbarians have been parasitized?

It’s unlikely that all barbarians have been parasitized; otherwise, Mu You wouldn’t be dying now. He should have been killed when he first entered the barbarian camp.

And if only some barbarians are parasitized, these parasites who have perfectly hidden among the barbarians are not continuing to infect others... this can only mean that these parasitized barbarians likely no longer have infectiousness.

"What’s wrong?" The Medicinal Plant Gatherer beside him noticed Mu You’s changed expression and inquired.

Others also looked towards Mu You.

Mu You explained the recent situation in the game to a few people.

"What? Even the barbarian officials have been infiltrated?" The Watchman was quite surprised.

If only one or two ordinary barbarians were parasitized, the situation might still be controllable. However, since even high-level barbarian personnel have been parasitized, it shows that the Divine Devouring Beast’s infiltration may have gone quite deep!

"Is it that kind of red Divine Devouring Beast..." the Medicinal Plant Gatherer pondered.

Lin Xue spoke up at this point: "From this perspective, the Divine Devouring Beast has succeeded in its research on this mutant parasite. However, this parasite seems to only be able to perform single parasitism."

"Moreover, judging by Mu Luo’s situation before, this type of parasite requires a lengthy tug-of-war lasting several days to successfully parasitize a barbarian, until the barbarian’s spirit is weakened enough."

"During the tug-of-war, the parasitized barbarian would act like Mu Luo, crazy, unable to differentiate between friend and foe, and suffering greatly... If this strange situation were to occur within the barbarian tribe, other barbarians would certainly notice, so it’s highly likely that the parasitism wasn’t completed in the barbarian tribe but outside of Jie Lin..."

The records of missing populations on the stele?

Prompted by Lin Xue, Mu You immediately recalled the Stone Tablet Forest he saw before.

At that time, the stele was densely engraved with cases of historical disappearances, but many had returned after a period of disappearance.

Is it possible that a portion of these missing populations were not lost due to direction, but were captured alive by outer Divine Devouring Beasts and forcibly parasitized?

Once parasitism was successful, released back into Jie Lin, these parasitism barbarians could unknowingly infiltrate the barbarian tribe, continue living, and even lure more barbarians out of Jie Lin to be captured by outer Divine Devouring Beasts, creating more parasitism entities...

Unfortunately, Mu You didn’t closely examine those stone tablets at the time; otherwise, he might have noticed some clues then.

"It seems I need to personally visit the barbarian tribe..." Mu You said.

"Visit personally? That’s too risky, isn’t it?" The Watchman was surprised upon hearing this.

Mu You had previously explained how fragile humans were in Jie Lin; even with the protection of a battle suit, he was utterly defeated by the barbarian children.

Furthermore, now the battle suit has been destroyed, meaning Mu You would have to directly venture into the barbarian tribe with his mortal body, surrounded by those who can crush him effortlessly.
