Chapter 1578: Chapter 677 Jie Lin Edition Werewolf Kill_3

However, the initially researched red mutant still had flaws, resulting in a high mortality rate, and only the most resilient wastelanders could survive the process. It was difficult for ordinary wastelanders to be parasitized.

At that time, the City of Order was opening, and the God of Decapitation and the Seam God were appointed to guard it. They brought a batch of red jellyfish to continue their research in the City of Order. The jellyfish currently parasitizing Mu Luo was one of these mutants.

Subsequently, the two sides conducted separate research, which continued until now.

Unexpectedly, the God of Decapitation and the Seam God’s side did not achieve results, but the other side’s experimental base made a breakthrough first. They seemingly developed a more perfect parasite and began capturing wastelanders outside Forbidden Wood en masse, creating parasitized wastelanders to send back to the Forbidden Wood.

Understanding all of this, Mu You felt a twinge of melancholy.

Skywolf’s intuition was correct. At that time, Wasteland Crow indeed had another motive; tracking Skywolf’s troops was not to kill them but to capture wastelanders alive.

The only question now is: why did Wasteland Crow do this?

There should be no conflict between Wasteland Crow and the wastelanders. Why would it capture the wastelanders and then transfer them to the Divine Devouring Beast?

Could it be that Wasteland Crow and the Divine Devouring Beast had reached some agreement, and Wasteland Crow sided with the Divine Devouring Beast’s faction?

...

Half an hour later, at the entrance to the first level of Forbidden Wood.

With a flash of silver-white light, a silhouette in mechanical armor suddenly appeared at the edge of Forbidden Wood.

In the next moment, Mu You stepped out from inside the Void Walker, glanced at the surrounding environment, and waved to his side.

The Medicinal Plant Gatherer, the Watchman, and Ling Long appeared one by one beside him.

Of course, these were just the avatars’ game characters.

"Is this the Forbidden Wood? It looks quite magnificent!" The Watchman marveled as he surveyed the surroundings.

The Medicinal Plant Gatherer and Ling Long remained silent but glanced around, getting familiar with the environment.

"This is the map from Wasteland Crow." Mu You handed the map given by Skywolf to the Medicinal Plant Gatherer.

He specifically summoned the avatars to investigate the matter of the Wasteland Crow, as he needed to return to the Barbarian Tribe and didn’t have the time to do it himself, leaving it to his avatars instead.

"Alright, alright, leave it to us! You take care." The three did not say much more, took the map, and set off immediately.

"Remember to walk along the edge of Forbidden Wood. As long as you don’t enter its range, you won’t be suppressed by the Forbidden Wood." Mu You reminded them.

Watching the three leave, Mu You then re-entered the Void Walker and reactivated the armor, setting the teleport coordinates to the sixth level of Forbidden Wood, in the Stone Tablet Forest within the Barbarian Tribe.

The Void Walker emitted a humming sound and transformed into a stream of light, disappearing from its original place.

The next moment, as his vision recovered, Mu You opened his eyes to find himself in the Stone Tablet Forest.

At the same time, due to delving into Forbidden Wood, just like the previous Black Angel, all components of the Void Walker immediately went offline, making further operations impossible.

Mu You hurriedly crawled out manually from the Void Walker, looking around.

Fortunately, there was no one nearby.

Next, Mu You activated the Wind Hermit ability, dragging the armor to the forest behind to find a secluded hiding spot.

Having done this, Mu You quickly returned to the Stone Tablet Forest, remaining invisible while examining the information on the steles one by one.

There wasn’t enough time during the last game to look closely, but now, being here in person and examining carefully, he indeed discovered something unusual.

Stone tablets from a thousand years ago showed the annual number of missing people was quite normal, with slight fluctuations but always remaining under a hundred.

Until about three hundred years ago, suddenly, the number of missing cases recorded on the steles surged! Annual disappearances increased from dozens to hundreds or even over a thousand, a tenfold increase!

This indicates that the Divine Devouring Beast likely completed its research on parasitizing wastelanders three hundred years ago, and thus began capturing and parasitizing them en masse.

Of the missing persons, about one-third eventually returned to the tribes.

Based on their previous analysis, this portion of the population had a very high probability of being parasitized!

Mu You looked at the densely engraved texts before him, feeling a tinge of fear.

For three hundred years, with over a hundred wastelanders disappearing and returning annually, over the centuries, just how many wastelanders in Forbidden Wood have already been parasitized?

And these are just the recorded cases; many missing individuals were never reported.

Mu You dared not imagine to what extent the wastelanders’ tribe has been infiltrated by the Divine Devouring Beast.

More importantly, these wastelanders mingle with the ordinary wastelanders and are indistinguishable unless they expose themselves.

This means, going forward, every wastelander he encounters could be impersonated by the Divine Devouring Beast!
