Chapter 1571: Chapter 675: The Mechanic’s Ending_2

["I feel that something was quite strange about the events of that year. At the time, the Wasteland Crow clearly had the ability to easily kill us, but it did not attack. It only followed us, letting my clan members fall one by one in the wasteland... I don’t know why, but I always felt that the Wasteland Crow had another purpose back then..."]

["I don’t care about myself, but I can’t let my brothers die without knowing why. So I hope you can return to that area for me and find out what happened there back then, no matter if my brothers are alive or dead, I need an answer."]

["You wish to enter the seventh layer, presumably to meet the Clan Leader? As long as you help me with this matter, I will introduce you to the Clan Leader. Don’t see me as a prisoner, I still have this bit of influence."]

[Skywolf has requested you to explore the wasteland, do you accept?]

Mu You stroked his chin, he wasn’t very interested in the wildman’s request, but rather he was quite intrigued by the Wasteland Crow itself.

If it were before, he would definitely run as far as he could when facing a Beast of Catastrophe, but now he has activated the Heavenly Dao, and the Power of Heaven could to some extent restrain the Beast of Catastrophe. To him, taking a stroll in the territory of the Beast of Catastrophe was not difficult, and he even had the opportunity to communicate with the Beast face-to-face.

They are currently opposing the Divine Devouring Beast, needing to draw in all the forces they can. If they could pull this Wasteland Crow into their camp, it would greatly enhance their odds of victory...

Of course, he didn’t plan to personally take on this task, since entering Jie Lin wasn’t easy, and this sort of thing obviously couldn’t be resolved in a short time.

Mu You planned to have the Watchman take Gusha there. Being both Beasts of Catastrophe, Gusha could certainly resist the Wasteland Crow’s abilities, and should also have some acquaintanceship with it.

[You agreed to Skywolf’s request. Skywolf took out a beastskin map and handed it to you: "This is the map we drew during our exploration outward, it marks the specific location where we encountered the Wasteland Crow."]

[You obtained the ’Map of the Eastern Region of Jie Lin’.]

Even if this task couldn’t be completed, just getting this map was already worth the price.

The conversation between Mu You and the wildman archer concluded, and just as he was about to leave, something suddenly came to mind.

The other party mentioned earlier that he became the Captain of the Sentry team of the Ancestors fourteen hundred years ago, and it seemed that Mu Luo was also made Captain and disappeared around that period. Both held the position of Captain of Sentry, maybe they knew each other!

[Before leaving, you suddenly asked Skywolf whether he knew a wildman named Mu Luo?]

["Mu Luo? You mean the Captain of the Third Team?" Skywolf nodded upon hearing: "Of course I know him, Mu Luo was my opponent at the Warrior Convention back then, I only won in the final round against him, claiming the identity of the Captain of the First Team."]

["But I heard he disappeared later... Do you have any news of him by chance?"]

Indeed, they knew each other!

Mu You was delighted, and quickly explained the situation regarding Mu Luo.

[You told Skywolf about the deeds of Mu Luo.]

["I see, that silly boy is still alive..." After hearing your story, Skywolf sighed with nostalgia, seemingly reminiscing about the past. After a moment, he looked at you: "You must be looking for Mu Luo’s mother, Scythia, right?"]

["I don’t know much about her either, I’ve only heard that after Mu Luo went missing, Scythia resigned from her position as a Herbalist, moved out of the tribe, and secluded herself in a small house at the edge of the sixth layer, southeast. Since she has been living alone for years and rarely communicates with the clansmen, it’s hard to say whether she is still there or not... You should go and have a look."]

Mu You had only casually mentioned it, he hadn’t expected to actually unearth a clue about Mu Luo’s mother.

Next, Mu You bid farewell to Skywolf, left the prison, and immediately headed to the place indicated by Skywolf.

[You searched deep in the sixth layer, and soon discovered a courtyard isolated in the forest.]

[The courtyard wasn’t big and seemed a bit shabby, surrounded by overgrown weeds. You approached the gate of the yard, the simple wooden door was ajar, and there was a circle of a vegetable patch fenced with wicker, planted with some crops at the entrance.]

[Inside the yard, an elderly wildwoman with gray hair was struggling to pull up a bucket from the well, carrying it towards her home.]

["Excuse me, are you the Herbalist Scythia?" You proactively asked.]

[Upon hearing the voice, the old woman turned and looked at you, gave you a once-over, and shook her head: "You have the wrong person, there’s no Herbalist here, just an old lady close to death. If you’re looking for the Herbalist, you should go to the tribe..."]

[After speaking, the old wildwoman ignored you, picking up the bucket and continued heading towards her home.]

["Mu Luo sent me." You added.]

[With a clatter, the bucket fell to the ground, spilling water all over the courtyard. The old woman turned back, looking at you in shock, flickers of panic and nervousness flashing in her eyes: "Mu Luo... Mu Luo... Who is that? The name seems so familiar..."]

Mu You felt somewhat sorrowful, the old lady couldn’t even remember her own son’s name, no wonder there wasn’t a report back then...

[You took out the stone Mu Luo had given you and handed it to Scythia.]

[Scythia looked at the little carving of a figure on the stone, her eyes suddenly widen, her hands trembling, tears streaming down uncontrollably: "I, I remember now, Mu Luo, he is my son, my lost son... How could I forget such an important thing..."]
