Chapter 1554: Chapter 669: Moon Festival

The other party asked Mu You how he came here alone.

Mu You wanted to say that it wasn’t really difficult, after all, this was just his game character, which could be revived at any time. No matter how risky it was in the game, there was no psychological burden on his real self.

Moreover, he was now the strongest among the Fools, possessing six divine powers, which was excessively extravagant. Perhaps none of the previous Fool’s Ancestors had achieved this in the two-hundred-year history in the Sky High World.

And before the fourth layer, the Black Angel hadn’t been nullified. It was better to say that it was Ava and the Black Angel who helped him complete the last three layers; only in the first layer did he rely on his own strength to get through.

In short, his journey seemed thrilling, but nothing beyond his capabilities really happened.

Mu You was more curious about how this couple managed to survive.

Having personally experienced the survival intensity of the fourth layer, he barely lasted a day with the Black Angel’s help, yet this couple survived for over a thousand years with mortal bodies in this perilous jungle. That was the most incredible thing to Mu You.

[The man continued: "Let me introduce myself first, I am Horlowe Cammings, originally a member of the 128th team of the City of Order’s forest reconnaissance team. I left some inscriptions in the previous layers, which you might have seen."]

[After speaking, the man pointed to the woman beside him: "This is my wife, Lisha Kaye, also a member of the reconnaissance team back then."]

[The woman smiled as a greeting, and you nodded to greet the two. But you keenly noticed that the woman’s gaze towards you carried some vigilance.]

["Young man, I know you must have a lot of questions to ask, but before that, I need to know about the situation of the Fools outside." After the man finished, he remained silent, waiting for your response.]

[You could sense that this couple seemed to be cautious of you. Should you honestly inform them about the situation of the Fools?]

"..."

Mu You frowned slightly. He could actually guess the reason for their suspicion: they were worried about whether he was a parasite.

According to the timeline, these two’s expedition team set out in the final period of the two hundred years when the Fool’s Ancestors came to the Sky High World. By then, the situation of the Divine Devouring Beast should have spread within the clan, and even news of Fools being parasitized at the front line should have been known.

And after that, they completely lost contact with other Fools.

Now, after more than a thousand years, a Fool suddenly appeared. If Mu You were in their place, he would certainly suspect whether this was the Divine Devouring Beast in disguise.

Actually, it wasn’t just them suspecting him; Mu You initially suspected whether these two were parasites as well. After all, the Divine Devouring Beast had already reached into Jie Lin, and these two, staying in Jie Lin for so long, being noticed by the Beast wasn’t impossible.

However, Mu You quickly ruled out this suspicion, because he clicked to check the situation of a family of four, and he found that there was not a trace of divinity in them, which should mean they had long eaten their Chrysalis to the limit.

Now their physical condition was similar to savages, with zero divinity in their bodies. Ordinary Divine Devouring Beasts couldn’t survive inside them.

Currently, only the red Divine Devouring Beasts could survive in creatures without divinity, but their lethality was too strong, only the physique of savages could bear it. Human bodies, even strengthened to the limit, would die during the parasitization process.

So, this family of four could instead be ruled out.

Thinking of this, Mu You chose ’yes’ and briefly explained the situation of the Fools outside to them, but when it came to some crucial information, such as the exits of several servers and the specific location of Sky City, Mu You glossed over.

[As you calmly recounted, the two initially listened calmly, but soon they were astonished, becoming more and more shocked as they listened.]

[Nevertheless, the two children were fascinated by your story, listening with great interest.]

["So many things happened..." After listening, the woman couldn’t help but exclaim, turning her head to exchange a glance with the man, nodding."]

[The man looked at you with a hint of respect in his tone: "No wonder you are so powerful, it turns out you are an Order Successor."]

["Sorry for doubting you, we needed to make sure you weren’t a parasite. After we entered Jie Lin, we were actually trying to gather information about the clan, until later we heard that Fools were massively parasitized and fled to the Star Spirit World, and even Titans followed to the Star Spirit World. We once doubted whether the Fools and even the Star Spirit World had already been parasitized by the Divine Devouring Beasts... Fortunately, now the suspicion is ruled out," the man sighed.]

Mu You’s identity was easy to confirm. He was a player, and what was here was just a Mind Avatar, capable of revival, teleporting items through the game, etc. Any of these could prove what he said was true.

Wait a minute...

Mu You was stunned after reading, could these two still gather information about the Fools? Weren’t they trapped in Jie Lin?

["The information was sourced from the savages." Facing your doubt, the man smiled and said: "The gathering place for savages is on the sixth layer. Generally speaking, we can’t reach it with our strength, but there are exceptions. Jie Lin has a continuous full moon lasting about a week every year, commonly known as the ’Moon Festival’."]
