This Text Adventure Game is definitely poisonous-Chapter 1583 - 679: Undercurrents Stirring_3

What a pity...

"Seeing the Clan Leader... I’m afraid it won’t be that easy..." Skywolf said with difficulty.

The Clan Leader was different from them; the Clan Leader was someone who was always in the public eye, and it was certain that there were large numbers of parasitic spies lurking around him.

Given the current situation, the parasites would never allow the two of them a chance to approach the Clan Leader again.

One might say that if they dared to show themselves again, they would inevitably be pursued and intercepted by a large number of parasites, and despite the Clan Leader’s orders, they would be executed on the spot without being given a chance to speak in their defense.

In this regard, no matter how strong Skywolf was, he was, after all, only one person, truly unable to defeat four hands with two fists.

"In any case, first take me to the seventh layer. I still need to confirm some things..." Mu You said.

Finding the Clan Leader on the seventh layer was one thing, but on the other hand, Mu You also needed to seize the opportunity to get close to Moon Lake to confirm what exactly the Pocket Watch’s hint was. He had a premonition that what the Pocket Watch wanted to remind him of was extremely important and perhaps a chance to resolve this crisis.

"Alright." Skywolf nodded directly, and after simply dealing with the barbarian’s corpse, he took Mu You out of the cave.

In fact, they had another helper, who was Mu Luo waiting outside of Jie Lin. Mu Luo, whether in terms of trustworthiness or strength, was sufficient.

Unfortunately, time was not on their side; it took several days to make a round trip to the edge of Jie Lin from here, and the Moon Festival was just one or two days away, leaving no time for them to go back and gather reinforcements.

...

Meanwhile, as Mu You and Skywolf set into action.

On the other side, on the seventh layer, in the Clan Leader’s meeting room.

"You must give me an explanation for this!" Scythia’s angry voice echoed in the hall.

"Ha, what kind of explanation do you want? Foreigners plotting against us in our key locations, so I took action to kill them, it’s that simple." On the other side of the hall, a barbarian elder sneered.

This person was one of the two barbarians who had previously surprised and killed Mu You.

Scythia only discovered half an hour after the incident that Mu You, who had accompanied her, had been forcibly killed just a wall away.

Even though Mu You was an outsider, he had traveled thousands of miles to bring news about her long-missing son, and he was also a friend and savior to her son. Both emotionally and rationally, Scythia had a duty to protect him.

As a result, Mu You was forcibly killed right under her eyes, which naturally made Scythia furious, and she immediately dragged the perpetrator to the Clan Leader to demand an explanation.

At this moment, the Barbarian Clan Leader, sitting behind his desk, looked at the two opposing figures in front of him, feeling quite a headache.

He didn’t particularly care about the life of an outsider, but the victim was nonetheless the leader of a powerful tribe; they lived in seclusion in Jie Lin and shouldn’t easily make enemies with external forces.

"He was plotting something? At that time, there were so many guards patrolling near Moon Lake, and under everyone’s watchful eyes, what could he, an outsider with almost no ability to resist here, possibly do?"

Scythia laughed in anger: "Besides, even if you thought he was problematic, you should have subdued him first, got to the root of the matter, and then decided how to deal with him. But you were so eager to strike and kill him, not even daring to give him a chance to speak... who is really problematic here?!"

The barbarian elder opposite her changed his expression and glared at Scythia: "What do you mean? I was only thinking about the safety of the tribe and eliminated an outsider. How could there be any problem with that?"

"Really no problem?" Scythia sneered: "That young man brought us very important information: the Parasitic Beast is trying to parasitize our tribe..."

Scythia looked around the room, her eyes passing over the other elder tribesmen present, and said meaningfully: "Who knows, maybe someone among us has already been replaced..."
