Chapter 381: The Parasite God's Will (Third Watch)
Baba rushed over, risking his life and using the clan's sacred object to craft a demonic poison puppet, all to help his son who was causing trouble. Is this Clan Leader truly so righteous?
From an outsider's perspective, Hu Ma took over the Blood Meat Mine, but he couldn't refuse the request of the Sorcerer Clan Leader. There was no logical reason to decline, but deep down, Hu Ma felt a sense of unease...
The reborn one, known as Monkey Wine, had a completely different story from the old Clan Leader. Which of them was telling the truth? Why did they both put on such a grand display, and what was their true purpose?
Was it about the mysterious Blood Meat mine vein? But why did neither of them mention it?
Returning to his room, Hu Ma sat silently for a while before meditating on the bed. After consuming two Blood Pellets, he slowly practiced his energy cultivation and refinement, then entered the Life Spirit Temple.
As usual, he called out to Monkey Wine, who promptly replied, "Well, have you made up your mind?"
"Not yet..."
Hearing this, Hu Ma sighed helplessly, "Do you have to start by killing the Parasite God? Is there no other way...?"
"I'm saying let's not make this too big. Just kill your entire family, or at most, a few clan members?"
"...No use."
Monkey Wine sighed slowly, "If you want to kill, you have to directly kill the Parasite God. Otherwise, it's pointless. I've made it clear to you, and with your intelligence, you should understand..."
"If you want my cooperation, you must help me kill the Parasite God. Otherwise, I have no reason to betray. Our partnership cannot begin if you don't agree..."
"...But what about your father...?"
Hu Ma slowly spoke, about to reveal that the Clan Leader was crafting parasites in the mine, but for some reason, he paused.
For a moment, he couldn't quite explain this strange feeling. It was as if subconsciously, he didn't want to tell Monkey Wine about the Clan Leader's parasite crafting. Instead, he felt a sense of concern.
What if the Clan Leader was telling the truth, and the reborn one had gone mad?
Are all reborn individuals good? What if there was one who killed and crafted parasites, driving all the clan members to fear and expel him?
There are plenty of such cases!
Are there no reborn individuals who hide information, even from their own kind?
I am one such example!
Erguotou and the others are still in the dark. If I can deceive others, I must also be cautious of being deceived myself.
This is why one must always be vigilant.
For the first time, Hu Ma felt a sense of uncertainty. After a long pause, he slowly said, "I just remembered something to ask you. You've sealed the Blood Meat Mine for quite some time now. Hasn't your father told you what he's planning?"
"Like when he plans to kill everyone in the mine or when he will take further action?"
"...No."
Monkey Wine replied slowly, his voice still carrying a dreamy confusion, "He wouldn't give me orders. On the surface, he hates me the most and even banished me from the camp..."
"He never talks to me, nor does he give me orders or send messages. He hasn't even used the Han people's method of sending ghosts to me..."
"...What?"
Hu Ma was surprised by his response and felt a shock in his heart. "But you said it was your father who asked you to seal the Blood Meat Mine?"
"Yes."
Monkey Wine slowly explained, "He doesn't need to give orders or send messages. Through the poison bugs, I can sense his intentions and understand what he wants me to do."
"Many things seem like my doing, but I know it's what he wants me to do."
"...Is there such a mysterious power in the poison bugs?"
Hu Ma hesitated, sounding skeptical, "So, you just listen to him and have never thought of rebelling?"
"I can't..."
Monkey Wine sighed, "My body is full of worms, and he represents the will of the Parasite God. The worms in my body cannot go against the will of the Parasite God, and neither can I go against his will."
"From childhood until now, I can even feel the will of the Parasite God entering my skin, my organs, my brain, and even inch by inch into my divine soul..."
"Perhaps, when it truly enters my divine soul, my secret as a reborn individual will be revealed..."
"...What?"
Hu Ma was shocked by these words, his scalp tingling, "Damn, why didn't you tell me this earlier? Why didn't you mention it last time?"
"I didn't remember..."
Monkey Wine spoke slowly, a hint of expectation in his voice, "If I had told you last time, would you have agreed to help me?"
"No..."
Hu Ma thought helplessly, "If you had told me last time, I wouldn't have contacted you again..."
If what he said was true, and the so-called "Parasite God" could indeed invade his divine soul and access his memories, then his secret as a reborn individual would be exposed. Even Hu Ma, who had contacted him, would be in danger...
Suddenly, Hu Ma felt the urge to cut off contact with this person immediately, before he could identify Hu Ma specifically.
However, his thoughts returned to the mysterious mine vein and the enigmatic Wu Gong Clan Leader who had come to the mine to secretly practice the Toxin Technique. There was also the seemingly honest and simple Chief Zhuang Erchang, whose true nature remained elusive.
In the end, he decided to ask one more question, "Then, how can this Parasite Deity be killed?"
"Logically speaking, it's actually quite simple..."
Monkey Wine slowly explained, "The Parasite Deity is the collective will of the worms, formed through generations of worship and offerings by the Sorcerers. Physically, it doesn't exist as a tangible entity, but on a spiritual level, it's omnipresent..."
"So, the first step to killing the Parasite Deity is to give it a body..."
"..."
"This Parasite Deity doesn't seem much different from the guests in the hall..."
Hu Ma's heart stirred, and he quickly asked, "Then, what's the second step?"
Monkey Wine replied, "Of course, it's to kill it. With a body, there will be a health bar. With a health bar, killing it will be much easier."
"I don't even want to discuss such a simple matter with you. When you figure it out, give me a signal..."
"..."
"..."
"This..."
Hu Ma, who had just sparked a glimmer of hope, felt helpless once again.
He had come to the Life Temple specifically to ask Monkey Wine these questions because of the doubts and confusion in his mind. However, after asking these questions, his doubts only grew.
A Reincarnator, a native, a kind and honest father, and a nervous son—whom should he believe?
After leaving the Life Temple, Hu Ma, who had regained his senses, found it difficult to make a decision. In the end, he turned his gaze to the several jars placed at the foot of the bed, each filled with Blood Pellets.
"After pondering, if only I could Ascend to the Manor..."
He thought to himself, "After Ascending to the Manor, my Blood Xiu Guardian skills will greatly improve. Perhaps I won't even care about their authenticity and can directly take them both down with my strength, giving them a good lesson."
Unfortunately, although he had already opened the channels for Ascending to the Manor, he was still a little short of the required Blood Pellets. Moreover, even if he had enough, it would probably take half a month to refine them all...
"Or perhaps..."
As he stared at the jars before him, his heart stirred once more. "A little more Golden Thread Centipede would also be good..."
When the Blood New Year Beast produced golden threads, it became a Golden Thread Centipede, which was excellent for nourishing the Divine Soul. Since he was in the process of Ascending to the Manor, and needed to nourish his Divine Soul, the Golden Thread Centipede would be even more effective.
This was the type that Cave Li Family had given him.
In the mine, some Golden Thread Centipedes had also been dug out from the mysterious mine vein. If they could mine more of this type of Centipede, it would be perfect. Unfortunately...
That mine vein had been sealed, shrouded in an eerie atmosphere. No one knew what would happen if it were unsealed...
As Hu Ma pondered these questions, he put on his clothes and stepped outside. The moonlight shone brightly overhead, and the night had deepened. The miners were all asleep, and only a few patrolling guards walked along the valley's edge. The entire mine was eerily quiet.
As Hu Ma strolled and pondered, he suddenly froze, spotting a girl adorned with silver ornaments sitting cross-legged on a large rock ahead, gazing up at the moon in the valley.
At that moment, Wu Gong Clan Leader was likely worshipping the Toxin at the shelter, so the girl had probably slipped away to be alone. His heart stirred, and he approached her.
A warm smile spread across his face as he asked, "Wu Ya, can you speak Mandarin?"
"Huh?"
The girl named Wu Ya turned her head and saw Hu Ma, blinking in surprise before lowering her head in silence, ignoring him.
"?"
Hu Ma was taken aback. The last time they met in the forest, she had been so lively...
Was she shy because her father was nearby?
After a moment's thought, he reached into his pocket and took out a small bottle containing Blood Pellets, offering it to her with a smile. "I saw you using your body to replace the Toxin and save our people during the day. It must have greatly drained your energy."
"This is the most nourishing thing. Eat it."
"..."
Wu Ya's eyes widened at the sight of the Blood Pellets. Although she had never eaten them, having grown up near the Blood Meat Mine, she knew how precious they were. One Blood Pellet was worth three times the value of a large gold ingot.
In her entire life, she had rarely seen more than a few in the whole camp, and this person was casually giving them to her?
