Tonight the moon is bright and the stars are shining.

Deep in the Ringing Forest, men, women, and children from the savage tribe dressed in costumes, holding torches and various tributes, gathered around the Moon Lake to make final preparations for the upcoming festival.

As the moon continued to climb high in the sky, the priests lit bonfires on the surrounding altars. The fires rose, the noise gradually subsided, and the entire tribe was immersed in a mysterious and solemn atmosphere.

On the altar in the center of the square in front of the lake, the savage leader stood alone on the high platform, with his hands behind his back, expressionlessly looking at the noisy scene below, but in his heart he was repeatedly calculating whether the various preparations for the moon festival were in place.

For some reason, even though all the preparations he could think of had been made and the arrangements were thorough, the uneasiness in his heart was getting heavier and heavier, and he always felt like he had neglected something.

"Ok?"

The clan leader suddenly stopped, looked at the flag fluttering above his head in surprise, and stretched out his hand forward.

A sliver of cool breeze passed between his fingers.

"The wind is blowing?" The clan leader frowned. It stands to reason that during the Moon Festival, the entire ring forest will be calm. In the past, there has never been a windy sky during the Moon Festival. Why does it happen tonight...

Of course, this is not a big deal. What is blowing in front of you is just some breeze. You may not realize it if you don’t look carefully. Such a breeze cannot have an impact on the Moon Festival...

The patriarch comforted himself in his heart.

There was a sudden noise somewhere below, accompanied by cheers and screams. The clan leader looked down and saw where the crowd was gathering below. Seven bare-chested young savages wearing turf skirts were surrounded by countless clan members and were looking towards him. Come from the altar where it is located.

These seven people are this year's living sacrificers. After many selections and assessments, outstanding young people have been carefully selected. In the following moon festival, they will represent the ethnic group and jump into the moon lake one after another to receive the enlightenment of the moon butterfly.

The seven people walked through the crowd. The tribesmen along the road sprinkled the water droplets on their fingers on several people, which represented their respective beliefs in Yuehu and conveyed them to Yuehu through the sacrificers.

The seven people quickly walked out of the crowd and came to the foot of the altar.

The other six people stopped there. Only the young man at the front used both arms to nimbly climb up the altar and came to the front of the clan leader.

Moon Lake will only accept one creature every night, and this person is the chosen sacrificer on the first night.

Looking at the savage young man in front of him, the clan leader stepped forward, stretched out his fist and knocked on the strong muscles of his upper body, and nodded with satisfaction: "Yes, such a physique is worthy of the status of a life sacrificer."

"Moon Lake is open!"

Someone below took the lead in shouting, and another burst of noise broke out. The clan leader looked up and saw that in the sky, the moon had just reached its highest point.

In the center of Moon Lake in the distance, under the clear lake water, the circular blue stone plate in the center moved quietly, revealing a hole about ten meters in diameter, like an eye opened under the lake water. Inside the pupils of the eyes, the lake was deep and dark, making it difficult to see clearly.

Countless blue butterflies emerged from the entrance of the cave, penetrated the lake water above, flew to the surface of Moon Lake, and danced around the entire Moon Lake.

The moon festival has officially begun!

The patriarch exhaled, turned back and patted the young man in front of him on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "Go, return to the embrace of Yuehu, and listen to Yuedie's enlightenment!"

"Ok!"

The savage young man nodded, took a deep breath, walked off the altar with a glorious expression on his face, tore off the tiger skin skirt on his body, and walked towards the Moon Lake naked.

The surrounding tribesmen gathered around excitedly, but they were wise enough not to get closer. They all stopped outside the warning line several hundred meters away in front of Yuehu Lake.

During the moon festival, no one else is allowed to set foot in the ring area of ​​several hundred meters around the moon lake, except for the sacrificers on that day. Otherwise, it would be a violation of clan rules and a death penalty.

At this moment, there are savage sentries along the cordon, armed with bows, arrows, knives and guns, watching every move of the surrounding crowd. Once anyone is found to have stepped over the cordon, they will be shot without mercy.

The savages consciously stayed behind the cordon, watching the sacrificers step by step toward the Moon Lake with blessings and expectations.

The savage young man walked very slowly, which was normal, because there was a repulsive force around the Moon Lake to prevent debris and small creatures from accidentally entering the lake. The closer to the Moon Lake, the stronger the repulsive force would be.

Therefore, if you want to get close to the Moon Lake, you are destined to walk slowly. This is also one of the rituals of the Moon Festival. If the sacrificer rushes to the Moon Lake quickly, it will be considered a disrespect for the Moon Lake.

Everything went well at first. The savage young man walked slowly towards the lake and left a clear line of footprints on the beach.

However, just when he was about to get within ten meters of Moon Lake, a sound breaking through the air suddenly sounded in the distance.

A sharp arrow suddenly flew from a distance, and before the savage young man could react in time, it accurately pierced his right leg and passed through.

"what……"

The next moment, the savage fell to his knees on the ground, and his screams broke the tranquility of the scene.

This sudden change shocked everyone.

However, before everyone could react to what happened, three more sounds broke through the air.

Three arrows in a row landed on the savage young man.

One of the arrows landed on his left chest, passed through his chest, and pierced his heart, while the other arrow penetrated his throat.

And the last arrow passed between the eyebrows and stabbed out from the back of the head.

Three arrows in a row, all hitting the vital point.

The screams of the savage young man suddenly stopped, and with the four arrows piercing his body, he fell straight on the beach and refused to rest in silence.

"Who?" the guard yelled.

What followed was the continuous screams and noises from the tribesmen at the rear.

No one thought that something like this would happen during the Moon Sacrifice Ceremony. The living sacrificer would be shot to death with arrows, and it would happen right in front of Yue Lake. This was tantamount to provoking Yue Lake. In full view of everyone, who So bold?

The clan leader looked at the young man who fell to the ground, his face livid. There was only one person in the clan who had such archery skills: Sirius!

The shouts of killing quickly rang out from behind, and sentries had already spotted the attackers.

The patriarch looked over there hurriedly.

Sure enough, Sirius appeared on the top of a ring tree, holding a long bow and carrying a quiver. He had a cold face and maintained the posture of drawing an arrow.

After killing the living sacrificer, looking at the sentries rushing around him, Sirius decisively put away his bow and arrows, jumped up, and fled among the trees.

Countless sentries below instinctively pursued and killed them. Sirius didn't even look at them and fled all the way, attracting more and more pursuers along the way.

"and many more……"

The clan leader watched with his own eyes as Sirius fled quickly after committing the crime. This time, he had both the person and the stolen goods, so he had no excuses.

He didn't know why Sirius wanted to assassinate the living sacrificer, but Sirius' subsequent actions made him instinctively realize that something was wrong: With Sirius' strength, if he really wanted to escape, the other sentries couldn't keep up with him.

In other words, he is not trying to escape, but...

The clan leader had already guessed something and quickly turned back to search among the nearby crowd.

His eyes quickly settled on one spot.

In the corner in that direction, a somewhat familiar figure was quickly breaking through the crowd and running towards the cordon.

"That fool?"

The patriarch's heart skipped a beat. He didn't know how this person came back from the dead, but the direction of his actions at this moment was clearly heading towards Moon Lake.

And Sirius's actions just now were helping him distract the attention of his pursuers and others!

"No, he's going to jump into the lake! Stop him quickly!" The clan leader hurriedly pointed at Mu You and shouted.

After being reminded by the clan leader, the surrounding savages discovered Mu You's existence.

Most of the savages were still in a daze, watching helplessly as Mu You broke through them. Only a few of the savages with quick minds reacted and rushed towards Mu You.

"Get out of my way!"

But he didn't expect a bigger roar to come from behind.

Muro ran out from the darkness behind, arriving first. He caught up with Mu You in the blink of an eye, picked him up, and then like a wild bull, he knocked away all the savages blocking the road and leaned against him. Brute force broke through the siege.

"Muro?"

The patriarch couldn't believe his eyes. He was stunned for two seconds before finally confirming that this was indeed Sethia's silly son who had been missing for many years. He had personally conferred the title of captain of the third division of the Sentinel Force.

However, at this moment, the former sentry captain, like Sirius, chose to betray the tribe and help outsiders pollute their holy land!

Muro led Mu You and rushed all the way to the cordon. Seeing the growing crowd of people blocking the way, he knew he could only get here.

At the last moment when he was about to be stopped, Muro made a motion of throwing a baseball and threw Mu You away.

Mu You drew a parabola, crossed the crowd, and entered the cordon.

Of course, this move did not actually throw Mu You very far, and he was intercepted by Yuehu's repulsive force midway.

Mu You rolled to the ground, then continued running towards Yue Lake without stopping.

There are no more obstacles on the road ahead to Moon Lake.

The clan leader was a little distracted for a moment. The scene in front of him was so similar to the moment when the mechanic jumped into the Moon Lake thousands of years ago...

Youman was right, this fool was really coveting Moon Lake just like the mechanic back then.

However, even the mechanic back then was alone and never received any support from his tribe. However, the Fool in front of him received great help from two top savage experts...

"Quickly, shoot the arrow and kill him!" Before he could think about it, the clan leader came to his senses and hurriedly shouted an order.

Countless arrows flew out from all around, forming a rain of arrows that rushed towards Mu You. The range was so large that it covered all possible directions for his escape.

However, just when everyone thought that this fool was certain to die, a strong wind suddenly blew from the woods behind him and swept across the entire venue in an instant, blowing to Mu You's side.

The rain of arrows in the sky was suddenly blown away, falling all over the ground in various directions. None of them fell on Mu You. Instead, Mu You was pushed by the wind, and his whole body turned into an afterimage, and he rushed towards the direction faster. Moon Lake.

"This is……"

This kind of wind force can never be considered a breeze. The one that can create strong winds during the moon festival... Qilin?

The patriarch was stunned, his face full of disbelief.

If it was just two tribesmen who betrayed each other, it would be understandable that they were deceived by the enemy's words. But why would Qilin, such a legendary pure creature, help the other party?

Too shocked, the clan leader froze on the spot for a moment and did not give any order to stop him.

At this time, it was the elders not far away who reacted first.

"Other sacrificers, enter!" Youman ordered hurriedly.

Among the six reserve sacrificers in the distance, three of them immediately took action after hearing this. They tore off their clothes, jumped over the crowd, and ran towards Yue Lake.

The patriarch finally came to his senses. Yuman's order was actually a bit illegal, but he hesitated and did not stop it.

During the Moon Festival, only one person can jump into the lake every day. Once the living sacrificer appears, the Eye of the Moon will be closed immediately, and it will be useless for others to jump into the lake after that.

No matter what this fool wants to do, they must first take up the quota for today's living sacrifice so that the other party does not have the opportunity to jump into the lake. After that, they have a whole day to catch the other party and interrogate him slowly.

Three naked savages rushed into the beach. Since they were the chosen sacrificers, no one stopped them at this time.

The physique of the savages is much stronger than that of humans. Even though Mu You started a few seconds earlier, he was still caught up by several savages in a short period of time.

After the savages caught up, two of them turned around and killed Mu You, while the remaining one continued to run towards Yue Lake.

At this time, Mu You was still dealing with the repulsive force of Yuehu in the wind.

It wasn't until he got close to Moon Lake that he finally understood why all the savages could only walk slowly before approaching Moon Lake. It was because they couldn't run at all.

This repulsive force was much stronger than expected. If it weren't for the strong wind created by Qilin pushing him forward, he might have been pushed away by the repulsive force.

While Mu You was trying his best to resist the rejection, two savages next to him suddenly came to kill him, one on the left and one on the right, outflanking him.

Every move was extremely difficult under the repulsive force, and Mu You had no room to dodge.

Seeing that the fists of the two giants were about to come, Mu You hurriedly activated the Endless Gyro - this was one of the only two props in his equipment list, the other being the Qilin Arm.

These two things were also one of the reasons why the repulsive force he felt was so strong: Moon Lake would naturally repel foreign objects.

The ten-second limit is activated and everything comes to a standstill.

Mu You easily dodged the fists of the two men, and then did not retreat in a hurry. Instead, he turned around, the unicorn arm appeared on his right arm, and fired the first Wind Burial Cannon at a good angle, ensuring that it could cover both of them at the same time.

Then he turned to the other side, and fired the second wind burial cannon, towards the other side, the wild man who was rushing towards the Moon Lake.

Two Wind Burial Cannons were fired one after another, respectively hovering in mid-air on both sides. As soon as the limit was over, they would rush towards their respective targets.

After doing all this, Mu You quickly removed the Qilin Arm and threw it into the wind behind him along with the endless top.

The two treasures will float out with the repulsive force and be picked up by the invisible Ava, without him needing to worry.

At this moment, Mu You got rid of all the wrappings, and the repulsive force was greatly reduced, and he continued to move towards Yue Lake with ease.

The ten-second limit ended in the blink of an eye. In the burst of light from the two wind burial cannons, the three savages fell to the ground wailing and covering their ankles.

Mu You knew that it was wishful thinking to kill the savages with just one shot of the Wind Burial Cannon, so he initially aimed at the savages' feet. In such a race against time, he only needed to slow down their speed.

When the three savages came to their senses and hurriedly endured the severe pain, they got up again.

At the Moon Lake ahead, Mu You's figure had teleported to the lakeside. Under the fire-breathing eyes of the savage leader, he jumped into the lake water, splashing layers of water.

At this moment, all the eyes around him were instinctively focused on the lake.

Through the clear blue lake water, everyone could clearly see that Mu You's clothes were instantly melted away after he fell into it, followed closely by the skin, flesh, bones... all tangible materials in the body were rapidly melting. Turn into dust and disappear.

In less than a second, Mu You jumped into the lake and dived less than ten meters. In front of everyone, his corroded corpse was gone... (End of this chapter)
