This Text Adventure Game is definitely poisonous Chapter 1566 - 673: Ancestor King, Child of the Moon3

["Throughout the millions of years of the primitive people’s history, no one has ever walked out of Moon Lake alive after jumping in, except for the forr king."]

["At that ti, the forr king was the strongest warrior in the tribe. During the annual Moon Festival Ceremony, he bravely jumped into Moon Lake as a living sacrifice. Unlike other sacrificers who were corroded to death, he survived against all odds due to his extraordinary physique, underwent a rebirth in Nirvana, and received divine revelation from Moon Lake, becoming the spokesperson for the Moon Butterfly..."]

Mu You had never seen Moon Lake, but he had seen Moon Well. He personally experienced its corrosiveness, where a hand would instantly lt to slag when dipped in. The Moon Lake was said to be a level above that, making it difficult even for the primitive people’s physiques to withstand.

And this forr king, being the only one among countless predecessors in history who could survive in Moon Lake, showed just how extraordinary his physical abilities were.

["At that ti, the rise of the Divine Race coincided with their struggle for world supremacy against our tribe. We were suppressed by the Divine Race on multiple fronts, losing territory repeatedly and facing annihilation. It was then that the forr king beca the Son of the Moon Festival, negotiating with the Divine Race on behalf of the Moon Butterfly. Both sides reached a truce agreent, and the ancestors retreated to Forbidden Wood to recuperate, thus avoiding being completely devoured by the Divine Race, preserving the most important territory of Forbidden Wood for us."]

["Thousands of years ago, the forr king passed away. Before his death, he left an edict: all tribespeople must adhere to their true selves, remain in Forbidden Wood, and protect it. Unless outsiders invade Forbidden Wood, the ancestors must not participate in any power struggles outside Forbidden Wood, nor form alliances or make war with any external race. As long as the descendants obey this edict, Forbidden Wood and the ancestors can achieve Everlasting!"]

["Due to the enormous influence of the forr king, this edict beca the highest law strictly enforced by successive Clan Leaders."]

["Of course, not all tribespeople agree with it. So think this law is too stifling. As the original overlords of the world, we obviously have strong enough power, yet we can only shrink within Forbidden Wood."]

["This faction advocates for raising armies and waging wars, fighting to reclaim the original territory, or at the very least, planting Forbidden Wood outside as much as possible to expand the scope of Forbidden Wood."]

["However, this radical faction is not large in number, their voices barely cause a ripple... In any case, the current Clan Leader is a fervent ’Forr King Follower,’ upholding all the edicts left by the forr king. Unless those New God Tribes directly invade Forbidden Wood, he would never take the initiative to form alliances or wage wars outside."]

Big Beard voluntarily offered a crash course in the history and current state of the ancestors.

Mu You frowned after the crash course. It seed like there was indeed so trouble now. With a Clan Leader who was practically a zealot, persuading the other side seed extrely challenging.

Mu You shook his head. Regardless, he still had to make his warnings, even if he couldn’t win over the ancestors. At least, he should make them aware of the parasitic threat, to prevent them from becoming future enemies of the Fool.

["Actually, if you truly want to et the Clan Leader, it’s not entirely impossible..." Big Beard suddenly spoke as he saw you deep in thought.]

[You quickly asked what the way was?]

["The forr king once left a rule that if a friendly outsider enters Forbidden Wood and accumulates 1,000 favor tokens, they could have an audience with the Clan Leader," Big Beard said.]

["What is a favor?" you asked.]

["Favor ans the help outsiders provide to the primitive people, like completing tasks assigned by tribespeople, helping them fulfill their wishes, etc. All those actions can earn favors. However, each tribesperson can only give a limited amount of favors. Generally, a tribesperson can give a maximum of one favor to the sa outsider. The higher the status and position, the higher the limit of favors they can give. For example, I can give you up to ten favor tokens!!" Big Beard said, patting himself as he boasted.]

Mu You’s expression turned odd after hearing this. These primitives really knew how to strike a good bargain. The so-called ’favors’ were essentially getting outsiders to do free labor in Forbidden Wood.

Needing to do free labor 1,000 tis for just one chance to et the Clan Leader—this level of freeloading would embarrass even Mu You himself.
