Chapter 1601: Chapter 686 Invalid Heritage (Jie Lin Arc End)_2

But now, how could it be...

Looking at Mu Luo and Scythia next to him, Youman had already guessed the cause and effect.

Obviously, the team transporting the clan leader was discovered and intercepted by this mother and son!

What Youman couldn’t understand was that, to ensure safety, he had arranged for two teams, nearly fifty pure parasitic combatants.

No matter how strong Mu Luo was, it’s impossible for him to fight fifty people alone, right?

The only possibility is still Scythia! This former chief herbalist of the tribe might not have strong combat power, but when it comes to using poisons, few in the tribe’s history could match her.

As the famous ’Poison Master,’ taking down fifty people instantly with premeditated intent was truly not surprising.

Subsequently, the poison on the clan leader was naturally also removed by her.

"Youman, didn’t expect it, did you? Despite all your plotting, you still fell into my hands!" The clan leader stared at Youman, sneering continuously.

Youman knew that arguing was useless, and his face completely turned cold.

Looking at the sickly clan leader before him, a vicious look flashed in Youman’s eyes, and suddenly he lunged forward, aiming to take down one with him before dying.

The result naturally ended in failure, not to mention that Mu Luo was watching not far away, and there was a chief herbalist standing by the clan leader’s side, neither of whom would give him a chance to act.

Before Youman could get close, Scythia lightly waved her hand, and a burst of blue powder was scattered in his face.

Youman’s eyes instantly dazzled, his whole body went limp, and he fainted on the spot, picked up like a chicken by Mu Luo who smashed his head with a few punches as punishment.

Before losing consciousness, the only thought in Youman’s mind was: Never provoke a herbalist!

...

Half an hour later, the clan leader and the other two returned to the seventh level with Youman tightly bound.

Amidst the stares of countless tribespeople, the clan leader walked up to Mu You.

Looking at the young man in front of him, the clan leader’s expression was complex, filled with guilt, gratitude, and confusion.

The guilt was naturally because he hadn’t believed Mu You’s words before, acting stubbornly and nearly causing a great catastrophe.

Fortunately, the appearance of the Son of the Moon Festival turned the tide in time, making up for all his mistakes, thus preventing him from becoming a sinner of history.

What made him confused now, was the former king.

The former king had said that as long as they didn’t get involved in external power struggles and strictly guarded Jie Lin, the tribe could be everlasting.

He couldn’t understand why, despite carefully following the instructions of the prior Son of the Moon Festival, it only led the tribe to the brink of collapse.

Could it be that the former king’s last words were wrong from the start?

In fact, not only the clan leader, but many of the wildlings who were once fervent believers of the former king also began to doubt the former king’s last words after this incident.

And what this led to was shaking the faith in the Son of the Moon Festival.

If even the words of the Son of the Moon Festival couldn’t be entirely correct, whom should they listen to in the future?

Mu You looked at the elderly man full of confusion in front of him and could roughly guess his thoughts. After contemplating for a moment, he suddenly said: "Actually, there was nothing wrong with the legacy left by the former king, it was just that you didn’t implement it properly yourselves."

"Oh?"

The clan leader was stunned, and many wildlings around him also looked over in surprise.

The clan leader was already acknowledged as the fervent believer in the former king by the tribe, and all the policies were almost entirely made according to the former king’s last words. If that wasn’t implemented well, then what would count?

"The former king’s final words were for all ancestors to strictly guard Jie Lin, with the precondition of never stepping out of Jie Lin even for a step to ensure the tribe’s everlasting. But in reality, you did not achieve this, as many of you continued to come and go on the edge of Jie Lin daily, treating ’Jie Lin’s periphery’ like it was Jie Lin’s territory, and it was this careless behavior that gave the Divine Devouring Beast the chance to parasitize you."

Mu You’s explanation made everyone present look at each other, all showing a sudden realization.

That’s right!

Just imagine, if from the beginning, everyone had strictly followed this rule of not stepping out of the boundary of Jie Lin, how could the external parasites have had the opportunity to capture them alive?

Without enough experimental samples, the enemy would not have had the chance to study and develop parasites specifically targeting them, and the situation would not have evolved into what it is now.

Ultimately, it was their own fault for misunderstanding the former king’s meaning, and the lax management gave the enemy an opening.

After this reflection, the original doubts about the former king vanished from their faces, once again restoring their absolute trust in the Son of the Moon Festival.

The clan leader let out a long breath, as the most terrifying thing to humans is not death, but the collapse of faith. This explanation from Mu You finally allowed him to release the knot in his heart; his gaze towards Mu You was now filled with gratitude and reverence.

"Please, Son of the Moon Festival, give us new guidance!"

The clan leader took the lead and knelt before Mu You.

Seeing this, the other wildlings around also knelt down, repeating the clan leader’s words.

Mu You let out a sigh of relief, knowing that it was only now that he had completely won over the hearts of these tribesmen.

As for the guidance? His fundamental purpose for coming here was, of course, to unite the wildlings to fight against the Divine Devouring Beast.

But before that, they first needed to root out the hidden pests within the tribe one by one.

"Summon all tribespeople to gather at the designated location in the tribe to undergo inspection by the Son of the Moon Festival," Mu You issued his first order.

With one command, the entire tribe was instantly mobilized.
