This Text Adventure Game is definitely poisonous-Chapter 1588 - 681: Assistance from Kylin_2

"And now, once again, Jie Lin and the Ancestors have reached the brink of disaster..."

"..."

Skywolf was slightly surprised upon hearing this. It was the first time he had heard such an opinion, but surprisingly, it didn’t seem abrupt. After pondering carefully for a few seconds, he nodded, "Makes some sense."

"Alright, I’ll help you!" Skywolf quickly made a decision.

The main thing was that there was no better way at the moment. As for whether it was appropriate for outsiders to jump into Moon Lake? Skywolf was no longer conflicted because, according to their inference, all Living Sacrificers in the past three hundred years were parasites. Unknown to the members, thousands of outsiders had already openly jumped into Moon Lake, so now, Mu You would make no difference.

Skywolf looked beyond the jungle at the densely packed patrol army.

The problem now was how to get Mu You close to Moon Lake in front of thousands of eyes.

Sending Mu You alone to the edge of Moon Lake, compared to meeting the Village Chief to explain the situation, was actually a lower demand, but it was still very difficult.

Next, the two of them searched around the edge of the seventh layer nearby, but they couldn’t find a single spot where the defense was slightly relaxed.

This was still daytime; the Moon Festival hadn’t started yet, and the defense was already so tight. Once night falls and the full moon appears, and the Moon Festival officially begins, the sentries will be even more tense. At that time, any wind or grass movement will likely be detected immediately.

Mu You was currently missing the transformation ability of the Blood Clan.

If he could shapeshift into a wildman, he could easily blend into the wildmen below, disguising as a sentry, and naturally get close to Moon Lake. Unfortunately, except for time-related divinity abilities, all others were completely sealed here.

Time stillness could only be maintained for ten seconds. Crossing such a long distance to Moon Lake in ten seconds was almost impossible.

"If only there were wind..."

Mu You sensed the airflow around him. All four abilities he inherited from the Kylin required wind to activate. However, the airflow on the seventh layer was eerily calm.

According to Skywolf, during the Moon Festival, the entire Jie Lin would become calm and tranquil. Since ancient times, knife wind and rain-time never occurred during the Moon Festival.

Mu You was struggling because, without natural wind, it was difficult for his wind-riding ability to launch.

A strand of airflow suddenly swept by, rustling his hair.

"Huh?"

Mu You was stunned; is it windy?

Just after he complained about the lack of wind, the surroundings began to stir with wind. Such a coincidence, could it be...

Mu You had already speculated one possibility: The only creature capable of controlling the wind’s cessation and beginning in Jie Lin was the Wind Kirin.

"Who’s there?"

Skywolf hadn’t noticed the slight breeze. Suddenly, he turned around, drew his bow, and quickly shot an arrow towards a spot behind him.

The arrow struck something hard ten meters behind them, clattering to the ground without achieving anything.

Skywolf immediately had the second arrow ready, feeling slightly alarmed. Someone had managed to sneak this close without him noticing, indicating the visitor was definitely a master!

Mu You also kept a vigilant eye on those bushes, ready for battle.

Ahead in the bushes, there was rustling, followed by a large hand that reached out to part the leaves. A dark-skinned wildman with a spear emerged from behind the foliage, grinning at the two, "Huh? So it’s really you guys..."

Mu You and Skywolf identified the visitor and both paused in surprise, then their eyes lit up simultaneously, "Mu Luo!"

Yes, it was indeed Mu Luo.

"Weren’t you blocked outside? How come you’re here..." Mu You inquired strangely.

Mu Luo scratched his head, "After you left, I was waiting in that cave for you to return... But two days ago, I suddenly found the boundary stone behind the black hole had been moved, so I came through."

"Oh?"

Skywolf was somewhat surprised. Those three large boundary stones aren’t easy for ordinary people to move; even with him, it would take at least three to five people to barely move them.

"Then how did you find us?" Skywolf asked.

"When I entered Jie Lin, I headed straight for the tribe, and along the way, a gust of wind kept pushing me forward, accelerating me, so I managed to return to the tribe in just two days, and that wind just guided me here," Mu Luo explained.

"Indeed, it’s the Wind Kirin!" Mu You’s face broke into a smile, finally confirming it.

Those boundary stones are certainly heavy, but not for the Kylin.

Mu You’s Kirin Arm has the ability of ’immense strength’. As long as he stands on the ground, he can unleash an endless force. Of course, ’endless’ is actually limited due to being just an arm.

Mu You had tried in that mountain cave before; he couldn’t move those three stones with the Kirin Arm. But with a real Kylin, it would definitely be no problem.

Mu You scanned the surroundings, but didn’t find any trace of the Kylin.

Yet he knew the Kylin must be nearby, observing his and Skywolf’s every move without revealing itself to people.

Mu You suddenly realized that the Wind Kirin’s previous acceptance of him might not be due to mistaking him for a child, but sensing the mission on him.

Since the Kylin deliberately let Mu Luo in and guided them to meet successfully, it shows the Kylin supports their actions. When the Moon Festival begins, it might even help them.

With the Kylin’s help, things would be much smoother!

...

That night, the moon shone brightly amidst sparse stars, hanging high like a round disc in the sky.

Creatures in Jie Lin are sensitive to moonlight, and tonight’s moonlight was exceptionally bright, such that even a small caterpillar at the forest’s edge could realize that the night of the Moon Festival had arrived.

The entire Jie Lin fell into a rare quietude. All creatures lay dormant in their dwellings, pausing disputes and hunts, quietly basking in the moonlight.

Yet on the seventh layer, near Moon Lake’s core, it was a lively scene.

Many wildmen gathered here, singing and dancing, lighting bonfires around Moon Lake’s outer ring with fruits and meat spread on the ground.

To them, today was the most important festival of the year.

Some female wildmen donned vibrant clothes and danced around the bonfire.

While more wildmen faced Moon Lake’s direction, singing an ancient chant with devout expressions.

Of course, while preparing for the celebration, they didn’t relax the vigilance and protection around them.

Over ten thousand sentries were evenly distributed across the seventh layer, all tensed and alert to any surrounding disturbance.

Sentries were no more than three hundred meters apart, ensuring each sentry was within the sightline of at least two others.

Away from Moon Lake at a distant edge of the seventh layer, Mu Luo walked out of the forest, holding a spear boldly.

Not far away, a wildman sentinel froze, quickly ran to block Mu Luo, scrutinized him, saw his sentinel garb, and frowned, "Brother, are you in the wrong position? This should be my defense area!"

"No, I’m not mistaken."

Mu Luo spoke calmly and fluently, "The Clan Leader said these corner areas are critical. If the enemy comes, they’re likely to break through here, so more manpower is needed. I’m here to assist you."

"..."

The wildman didn’t expect Mu Luo to speak so smoothly, scrutinizing Mu Luo again, but didn’t recognize his face.

He was momentarily unsure whether this person was one of ’us’.

Mu Luo meaningfully added, "The elders Youman, Aaron, and Rivis personally instructed me to come."

Upon hearing this, the wildman’s eyes lit up. These three elders were indeed ’our people’. Initially, he was prepared to exchange passwords, but since the other could directly mention the elders’ names, there was no need for formality; this was definitely one of their own.

The wildman’s mouth curled into a friendly smile, patting Mu Luo’s shoulder, "Then it’s up to you, brother. I’m going to relieve myself."

The wildman said this and hurried towards the rear grove, disappearing into the darkness.

Unfortunately, once he left, he would have no chance of returning.

On both sides, other sentries naturally noticed the situation here, but after seeing the successful handover following conversation without any anomalies, assuming it was a shift change, they didn’t pay much attention and soon shifted their focus.

Therefore, neither noticed that just as they averted their gaze, two shadows darted over the bushes above Mu Luo, swiftly crossing the forest, breaking into the interior of the seventh layer, and disappeared. ƒreewebηoveℓ.com
