Kobolds?
The girl felt quite confused.
Why would there be Kobolds here?
Moreover, compared to normal Kobolds, the Kobolds in front of her seemed a bit different.
Compared to the Cynocephali outside, they looked stronger. Their bodies were covered in simple leather armor and they held spears in their hands. They did not look like ordinary Cynocephali, but more like … Cynocephali warriors.
Kobold warriors?
As soon as this thought appeared in her mind, the girl could not help but laugh, a self-mocking expression on her face.
"So I … have reached my limit? Even my mind is a bit muddled …"
She looked at herself mockingly, feeling that she had gone crazy.
Did Kobolds have specialized warriors as well?
As this thought flashed in her mind, her body slowly fell forwards.
After a long period of fleeing and trekking, her body had finally reached its limit. At this moment, she could no longer support herself to continue moving forward.
Because her weak body had lost too much blood, she felt quite powerless.
Her stamina had reached its limit, and even her mind was starting to blur. She had reached the end.
Everything … was over …
Before she fainted, that was the last thought in her mind as her body slowly collapsed.
On a barren grassland, the girl's body powerlessly lay on the ground. Together with the greenish-red blood everywhere, she looked incredibly beautiful.
That was, if one ignored the smell of blood.
However, what the girl did not know was that after she fainted, the Kobolds did not leave. Instead, they slowly moved forwards and gathered around her.
"What is this? Is it edible? "
"It looks like a human. The Chief said that … we can't eat it …"
"Looks like it's different from the humans from before …"
"Could it be a human cub?"
They gathered around the girl who had fainted and whispered to each other, looking quite confused.
In the past, Karunu had given orders to the Kobolds in his tribe, telling them to capture any wild creatures they encountered alive.
The scope of this kind of capture was not only limited to humans, but also other animals.
The reason for this was to select enough captive individuals.
Just developing farming could provide enough food for the Kobolds to reproduce in the future, but they would not be able to do without meat.
As such, apart from farming, they also had to develop animal husbandry.
But just like farming needed good seeds, the development of animal husbandry also needed suitable species that could be used for breeding.
That was why Servant Karunu gave the order for the kobolds to bring back as many animals as they could from the outside world, in an attempt to select suitable ones to develop the prologue.
Of course, it would be even better if he could find some intelligent races along the way.
An intelligent race meant intelligence, and it also meant that they could communicate with others.
Regardless of whether it was an intelligent race or something else, Karunu was able to unearth the value they deserved from them.
That was what was happening before their eyes.
In the past, the dog-headed man would have pounced on the girl and devoured her the moment he saw her.
In the end, there wouldn't even be a single bone left of the girl. Even the bloodstains would be licked clean. It would definitely be very thorough.
But it was fine for now.
These Kobolds carried out Karunu's orders loyally and were ready to bring the girl back.
Of course, the reason for this was also related to the changes in the living environment of the Kobolds.
The Kobolds of today were different from before.
After developing fishing, hunting, and farming, they were no longer in a constant state of food shortage like before.
As such, as long as they did not lack food, they would selectively hunt and give up on some unnecessary food.
Otherwise, if these Kobolds were constantly crying piteously for food, even if Karunu gave the order, something unexpected might happen.
However, things were not too bad for now.
Gazing at the injured young girl on the ground, the Kobolds exchanged glances with one another before lifting her up and carrying her back.
"This doesn't seem … to be a human …"
Within the Tribe's encampment, looking at the girl being carried back by the Kobolds, Karunu frowned.
He had been peacefully staying in his laboratory, trying to do some experiments.
However, he had received news of humans.
In the beginning, he did not think too much about it, only thinking that it was another Human Explorer.
This was not a strange thing.
After a period of time, the matter of the Kobold Tribe had already spread throughout the Chick Kal Kingdom through He Lu.
Even though the two of them had done their best to hide the existence of the Kobold Tribe and monopolize the profits, it was evident that they could not hide this for long.
After all, if they wanted to obtain enough profits, they needed to hire merchant groups or even mercenaries.
The heavy goods were not something that the two of them could carry.
As such, they needed more people.
Moreover, with more people, it was inevitable that some people would leak this information, causing more and more people to come here to do business.
As such, over the past two years, the number of merchants who came here had increased day by day.
It wasn't rare for humans to visit the Kobold Tribe.
As such, at the start, Karunu did not think too much about it.
However, when he saw this so-called human, he felt that something was off.
"This aura …"
Sensing the girl's aura, Karunu frowned and instinctively felt that something was off.
Compared to ordinary humans, this girl's body gave off a unique aura.
This aura was quite unique, and one would feel that there was something different about her at a glance. One would feel a sense of familiarity towards this girl and have a good impression of her.
It was evident that this unique aura was not something that ordinary humans could have.
Moreover, there were other things that were different.
For example, her blood.
Just by looking at her blood, he could tell that there was something different.
Her blood was greenish-red, and its smell was different from that of ordinary humans. It did not have a bloody smell and instead had a sweet fragrance.
In Karunu's opinion, the blood of the young lady before him was a unique magical ingredient, not to mention anything else.
Apart from her blood and aura, this girl's body was quite petite compared to ordinary humans.
Overall, she did not seem like a human and seemed more like a unique race.
"Tree Spirit?"
After looking closely, Karunu confirmed the results of his selection.
The so-called Tree Spirit was a unique race that existed in this world.
Legends said that it was a descendant of the God of Nature and was a powerful high-energy creature. When its bloodline reached its peak, it was a legendary lifeform that could compete with dragons.
However, in the past God Wars, the God of Nature had fallen, and these descendants of the God of Nature had been cursed. Their bloodline power had been stripped and suppressed, and they had been reduced to an ordinary bloodline race.
Despite this, the Tree Spirit was still incredibly powerful, and its bloodline was naturally quite unique.
Legends said that Tree Spirits were naturally close to nature and could control Nature's Power. They could also make ancient trees transform and had powerful magic abilities.
Most of them were female and were good at growing magic plants. At the same time, their blood was an excellent magic ingredient that could be used to make all sorts of potions.
Overall, they were quite powerful lifeforms.
Karunu carefully examined the girl's various characteristics before locking onto the Tree Spirit.
However, this result made Karunu feel quite surprised.
"There are Tree Spirits in this wasteland?
"And the injuries on her body …"
Karunu frowned and started to examine the Tree Spirit's injuries.
From what he could see, the injuries on the Tree Spirit's body were quite severe, but there were no signs of magic.
They seemed to be caused by brute force.
Karunu thought to himself as he continued to examine.
As he examined, the injuries on the Tree Spirit's body became clearer.
Most of them seemed to be arrow wounds, probably caused by long-range arrows. Only a small portion of them were caused by swords and blades.
Overall, his injuries seemed to be very serious.
However, miraculously, even with such severe injuries, the Tree Spirit was still alive, and it seemed that her life force was not weak.
Even if the Kobolds did not discover her and did not bring her back, with her powerful lifeforce, she would not necessarily fall. She would not necessarily die.
This sort of tenacious lifeforce made Karunu curious.
However, after a rough inspection, he still started to clean up the Dryad girl.
After cleaning up the Tree Spirit's injuries, he slowly stretched out his hand.
A warm energy slowly seeped out from Karunu's body and surged forward.
A ray of light began to envelop the area and slowly spread out.
This light was the light of a divine skill.
At this moment, a brand new power was surfacing, enveloping the young tree spirit girl's body.
