Traveling through the world of beasts: I lead the system to build an empire

Chapter 622 Smart or Not

The journey to the East Continent is always smooth.

Because of that large-scale epidemic, the East Continent was severely damaged. Until now, few orcs dare to settle here, for fear of being infected with that terrible disease again.

The city lord of the East Continent is not a meddlesome person. He doesn't care that half of the land in the east is empty and the other half is populated by people. This has led to the fact that the area near the Central Continent is still sparsely populated and has become a paradise for wild beasts. The orcs of the East Continent have not discovered the existence of such a huge monster as the Tiger Tribe until now.

Mu Yang has always advocated knowing both oneself and the enemy. In the past four years, he has sent many people to the East Continent in the name of exchanging salt to inquire about the situation.

Based on the reports from the orcs who returned, combined with the news from the temple, Mu Yang had a certain understanding of the lord of East Beast City.

This person, like Chi Yu, was selected into the temple at a young age to be trained as a reserve son of God.

It's just that Chi Yu has been learning literary sacrifices since he was a child, and he has been learning killing skills since he was a child, focusing on improving his martial arts skills. He and Chi Yu are on different paths, so they have never met.

However, in the eyes of the Temple, the Lord of the East Continent is just a "Shang Zhongyong". He had outstanding qualifications when he was a cub and was the most likely candidate to become the Son of God among the same period.

But for some reason, since shortly after he came of age, no matter how many beast crystals the temple fed him, his level had been stuck at the Five Patterns level, and he could never find the opportunity to break through to that level.

In the eyes of the orcs, this means that five patterns are his limit.

As a result, the Lord of East City suddenly fell from the most popular candidate for the Son of God to the most marginal position where no one cared about him.

Perhaps he couldn't stand the strange looks from others, and not long after, the Lord of East City volunteered to go to the East Continent to be the City Lord.

You must know that the East Continent is geographically the farthest place from the temple.

It is said that the environment here is comfortable and the population is large, but for the city lord, the complex population here is not conducive to management. The thought of all those tribes, big and small, gathered together is enough to give people a headache.

Moreover, the large population and the distance from the political center mean that resources are scarce. Becoming the city lord here means that there is really no hope of promotion.

For the former Son of God reserve, such a result is tantamount to exile.

In his situation, he could obviously stay in the temple.

The five-patterned beast is not weak. He is more than capable of being a team leader and managing a group of orcs. But he is the most stubborn and wants to leave the temple.

Everyone said that he had a bad attitude and couldn't stand being laughed at.

It is obvious that as a reserve son of God, he is already a superior person and his future will not be bad. But he gets angry because of a few words and some unnecessary psychological gap.

Now, there is no hope of making any further progress in this life.

However, combined with some secrets of the temple that he heard from Chi Yu and the various behaviors of the Lord of East City, Mu Yang had some different guesses about the "Shang Zhongyong" as everyone calls him.

After passing the Giant Beast Mountains, the outline of East Beast City can be vaguely seen.

Mu Yang suddenly looked at Chi Yu and asked without any context, "I remember you said that between Wen Shen Zi and Wu Shen Zi, Wu Shen Zi always received God's baptism earlier?"

Those who mainly study writing are called Wen Shen Zi in the temple. Chi Yu is a Wen Shen Zi, while those who are more inclined to martial arts training are Wu Shen Zi, such as the current lord of Dongshou City.

Since having Chi Yu, Mu Yang has learned a lot of information that even the spies in the temple could not find out.

For example, the so-called baptism actually had nothing to do with the Beast God. Chi Yu fled for his life only after he knew what "baptism" meant.

He thinks he likes females, but he doesn't want to get into trouble with his butt.

The word "baptism" has become a sensitive word for Chi Yu. He gets goose bumps all over his body when he hears these two words.

After a burst of uncontrollable shivers, Chi Yu waved his hands in an attempt to get rid of the bad luck, "Why are you bringing this up for no reason?!"

But in the end, under Mu Yang's serious gaze, Chi Yu nodded with difficulty, "Yes, what's wrong?"

It’s fine that Mu Yang is staring at him like that, but why is Su Mo looking at him strangely?

Thinking of a possibility, Chi Yu's hair on the back of his neck stood up, and he hurriedly explained his innocence, "I haven't been baptized, Momo, you have to believe me!"

Su Mo couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Hearing the laughter, Chi Yu understood that Su Mo was just teasing him. It was rare that he didn't lose his temper with Su Mo. He was just glad that Su Mo didn't really doubt him.

Mingfeng didn't care about the little episode between the two. After all, he had used this matter to provoke Chiyu many times at home, and he had seen Chiyu get angry many times. Mingfeng was even more curious about why Mu Yang suddenly had this question.

Fortunately, Mu Yang had no intention of keeping it a secret.

"Do you think that this East City Lord had learned the truth about the baptism from some channel earlier, and then tried every means to stay away from the temple? Otherwise, there is no way to explain why his strength suddenly stagnated and he asked to leave on his own initiative."

"Impossible! Absolutely impossible!" Chi Yu denied Mu Yang's guess without even thinking, "No outsiders are allowed to be present during the baptism process. No one knows the truth except Gong Yicheng's confidants."

"It's useless even if I knew the truth. Before I came to the Tiger Tribe, I had no idea what it meant for two males to act like that."

Mingfeng rubbed his chin, rarely agreeing with what Chiyu said, "That makes sense. Without knowing it in advance, people will be more likely to accept the meaning that a superior assigns to a certain behavior."

Just like two males = God’s blessing.

Even if some people with independent thinking ability find it strange, after all, the person telling them is the messenger of God they have always worshipped, they will not think deeply about what is strange.

"Then how did you realize something was wrong?" Yun Lan asked the key question.

Chi Yu's eyes became vague when he heard this.

Finally, under the gazes of everyone, Chi Yu bravely told the story, "After all, I am the first one among this group of Sons of God to be baptized. I must be proud, excited, and a little nervous..."

"Then...then..."

"Then what?" Mingfeng asked with a gossipy look on his face.

Seeing that he couldn't escape, Chi Yu gritted his teeth, closed his eyes and made up his mind.

"Then I contacted a senior who had been baptized and wanted to ask him for advice. He told me to peek outside the window and learn carefully. As a result, I saw the two of them... The senior was crying and screaming, and there was blood everywhere. I was scared and tried my best to postpone the baptism. I took the initiative to refuse the baptism and went to the archives office."

"Later, I couldn't delay any longer and was planning to just grit my teeth and get through it, but then I overheard Gong Yicheng's conversation with the black box, Xiao Si, and I... knew what that meant."

Chi Yu put his hands on his hips and said, "What can I do about this? I can't. So I took Xiao Si away while no one was around and fled all the way to the tribe, avoiding the pursuers."

"That's it," Chi Yu felt uneasy when being stared at. "Oh, that's really it. I didn't hide anything."

Everyone's face turned red, making Chi Yusao's face hot. He simply threw the jar and said, "Hey, laugh if you want to."

"Hahaha."

Among them, Su Momingfeng laughed the happiest.

"In other words, you didn't realize that something was wrong from the beginning, but you were just afraid and kept avoiding the baptism?" Ling Han was still rational and brought the topic back to where it was about to go off track.

Chiyu's performance is indeed in line with the choice of more people.

"Yes," Chi Yu raised his head, "I don't believe that the East City Lord is smarter than me!"

Ling Han and Mu Yang looked at each other.

That's not necessarily true.

Without dwelling too much on the topic of who is smarter between Chi Yu and the East City Lord, Mu Yang expressed his guess, "Anyway, I don't think the East City Lord will send troops when the Temple attacks us."

If they succeed in assassinating Gong Yicheng, there will always be some people in the temple who either covet the high position of the God's envoy or sincerely want to avenge the God's envoy to attack the tribe. If the assassination fails, there will be no need to find a reason.

Just based on his cleverness, Mu Yang knew that he would definitely not get involved in this mess.
