Control And Punishment

Lin Mu recognized what Gu Yao was doing. He had seen something like it before and linked that to it. And seeing how he had been infected by the invader as well, there was only one answer.

"He's using the invader's ability!" Lin Mu exclaimed internally.

Lin Mu had already seen a few examples where the invader had been controlling others. The invader had hidden within the ashen cloak mercenary's dead body when he was killed by the great slumber bear who was also infected by the Invader.

From what he could tell that the Great Slumber bear was perhaps the very first being that was infected by the invader or could have even been the one to spread it. But then when he considered that there were other beasts like the Blight Dust Beast, he thought otherwise.

Lin Mu had learned from Duan Ke that the Blight Dust beast never left its territory, and neither did the Great Slumber bear go there. Which meant that there was a different way that it had spread.
