Chapter 1541: Chapter 664: Moon Lion and Moon Well_2

"Oh?"

Mu You was taken aback and quickly had his character light the Soul Lamp, attempting a teleport.

As expected, he was notified of a teleport failure, unable to detect other nearby Soul Lamps.

"So that’s how it is..."

Mu You immediately understood. At that time, most of the Fool’s Ancestors team members had died or were injured, with an uncertain future. The few remaining couldn’t take the huge risk to spend a month running back to the first layer just to leave a ’strategy’ that might not even be used by anyone.

The only path left for them was to keep moving forward. If they could reach the Barbarian Tribe, there was still a slim chance of survival; otherwise, they were doomed to be wiped out here.

Taking the time to leave this message on the second layer already showed their collective consciousness.

Suddenly, a red warning popped up.

["Warning, a large creature is charging from 200 meters ahead..."]

[Accompanied by Ava’s message, a red-headed, blue-bodied six-legged lizard rapidly traversed the jungle, charging towards you.]

Mu You hurriedly controlled his character to prepare for battle.

He had just read the strategy guide, which happened to describe this creature.

This creature is called a Tentacle Lizard Crocodile, a carnivorous reptile. Its attack method is to entangle enemies with the many tentacles on its head and then kill with its bite force.

Despite its terrifying appearance, it is actually considered a medium-level creature on the second layer, far less powerful than the Hammerhead Rhino.

Mu You instinctively thought that a medium-level creature would not be too difficult to deal with.

But he was proven wrong.

[After sacrificing an arm, you are covered in injuries, your life down to single digits, and you finally managed to barely defeat the Tentacle Lizard Crocodile...]

[Under the Blood Clan’s innate ability, your severed arm began to regrow at an extremely slow pace...]

In the Forbidden Wood, even the Blood Clan’s regenerative ability was suppressed by over 80%, but it was still effective, just slower.

What really caught Mu You off guard was that this lizard, with not strong defenses and a singular attack means, almost counter-killed him!

Mu You quickly realized: it wasn’t that the creature was strong, but that he himself had become weaker.

Whether it was the sudden increase in suppression upon entering the second layer or the side effects of energy reduction from consuming a large amount of Chrysalis, both had greatly weakened his power compared to when he faced the Hammerhead Rhino on the first layer.

In the first layer, even top-tier creatures like the Hammerhead Rhino could be killed without injury, but in the second layer, even a medium creature could fight evenly with him...

Mu You originally planned to continue using the God of Decapitation machete to rampage through the second layer, but now he decisively abandoned that thought, obediently finding those ’Paper Flowers’ and painting himself in gray-white.

If he didn’t keep a low profile, he might really not be able to get through the second layer.

After camouflaging, Mu You continued his journey.

Having painted himself white, there were indeed fewer curious creatures along the path paying attention to him, and combined with that crude strategy guide, it significantly reduced the difficulty of his progression, making it even faster than the first layer.

["A stable pulse signal detected 3000 meters ahead."]

Upon reaching the middle of the second layer, suddenly Ava’s prompt popped up.

"Oh?" Mu You was taken aback, 3000 meters ahead?

Previously, Ava’s prompts only issued warnings within a few hundred meters of the target, but now it had sensed something 3000 meters away...

["According to speculation, the signal may originate from a professional mechanical Positioning Tool, attracting us closer. There is more than a 95% probability that it is an item left by the Mechanic. Would you like to track it?"]

A Positioning Tool?

Mu You frowned. He wasn’t surprised to find the Mechanic’s device but was puzzled about how such equipment had been powered for so long without supervision.

"Track it."

Regardless, since the Mechanic’s item was found, it was definitely worth going to see what was going on.

[You follow Ava’s guidance and track in the direction from which the signal was sent...]

[After crossing a dense grove of gray-white shrubs, the terrain dramatically opened up.]

[A circular clearing about a kilometer in diameter appeared ahead, with no Forbidden Wood growing, and in the center of the clearing, a man-made well was placed. From the well, a clear spring flowed, brimming with a light blue liquid, and around the wellhead, sculptures from crescent to full moon were carved.]

[According to Ava’s guidance, the signal was originating from the well water.]

[Just as you were about to check the well water, a male lion covered in blue-white stripes suddenly leapt out of the forest, blocking the way to the well. Its claws dug deep marks in the ground, glaring at you fiercely.]

"Oh..."

Mu You’s eyelid twitched.

According to the strategy, this creature is mentioned as the Moon Lion. Despite having only two colors all over, it is the strongest creature on the second layer.

This creature exhibits nocturnal behavior, significantly enhancing its strength under the moonlit night, hence it normally only appears during moonlit nights, theoretically unseen during the day.

But now, it’s actually noon, and yet the Moon Lion jumped out.

That could only mean one thing: he had intruded into the Moon Lion’s den!

[Seeing that you haven’t left, the Moon Lion bared its fangs, a low growl emanating from its mouth, lowering its front limbs, obviously a prelude to attack. Will you leave immediately?]

Mu You was also hesitating at this moment.

For a top creature like the Moon Lion, he definitely couldn’t win in a direct fight.

However, he actually had something on him that could counter-kill the Moon Lion: the Kirin Arm.
