The centaur girls gathered together and whispered among themselves. Their eyes were filled with doubt, as if they did not believe that this human could cure their companion.
Li Xiang half-knelt down. The centaur girl lying on the ground was pale, her lips were purple, and her forehead was sweating profusely. Occasionally, she would let out a few moans. It was obvious that she was poisoned.
She was shot right in the middle of the two white rabbits. Blood stained half of her body. The arrowhead of the bone arrow went straight through her back. The body of the arrow was buried in her body. Her internal organs were probably infected by the poison.
"Relax, don't be nervous." Li Xiang gently pressed his hand on her wound and comforted her softly. During the Polar night, he had learned first aid on the battlefield. For people who were on the verge of death, the first thing to do was to calm them down. This was to prevent the poison from spreading too quickly.
After feeling his kindness, the centaur girl slowly calmed down. The blood from her wound was also stopped by Li Xiang.
He opened the black box that he carried with him. Seeing that it was fully equipped with medical equipment, Jana was relieved.
Li Xiang broke the exposed parts of the bone arrow and took out a sterilized knife. He looked at Jana and motioned for her to come over and help. "Hold her body down. No, don't move."
Jana nodded and bent down to help Li Xiang remove the bone arrow from her companion's body.
Li Xiang's movements were skillful. The girl who was in great pain kept trembling. Because it was the first time she was touched by the opposite sex, she could not help but blush. The two different feelings intertwined and made her feel ashamed.
The bone arrow was successfully removed. If it was outside, he could immediately test it to find the source of the poison. In less than an hour, he could make the corresponding antidote. But in the Jadeite Forest, there were no such conditions. Using the antidote would only make things worse.
However, Li Xiang happened to have a solution. He carried a large amount of antidotes with him. These were all ancient potions that Honey had made for him. Considering the unknown poison, Honey's antidotes were basically universal. Unless it was an extremely rare mixture of poisons, such as Osiris's Deadly Foulness, her antidotes could be used to cure all common poisons.
The Jadeite Forest was still in the ancient era. It was impossible for there to be any terrifying mixture of poisons. Such poisons were usually used by high-grade players. Ordinary people would rot as soon as they came into contact with it, let alone use it as a weapon.
He slowly fed the girl the antidote. Soon, her complexion improved. After bandaging her wound, it was no longer a big problem..
Seeing her companion recovering at a speed visible to the naked eye, Jana let out a sigh of relief. She knelt on the ground and bowed to Li Xiang gently.
"Thank you, human young man." Li Xiang did not understand what Jana was saying, but he felt the gratitude.
Li Xiang waved his hand and packed up the black box. At this time, a group of centaur girls suddenly became noisy. A group of centaur girls rushed over from the end of the forest. They shouted at the front. Jana also got up and shouted excitedly when she saw the centaur in the lead.
The centaur's unique ethereal voice was very pleasant. His Eyes of Truth suddenly issued a warning of danger. Li Xiang looked up and his eyes met with the centaur in the lead.
"So beautiful …" Li Xiang whispered. The centaur part of the female centaur was the most beautiful female he had ever seen. His mother Bai Lili and the first lady Dong Ling were also very beautiful. Dong Ling and Ming Xu were also very beautiful. However, they were not as beautiful as the centaur in front of him.
Her upper body was slender and hot, and her face was indescribably beautiful. Her silver hair cascaded down her shoulders like a waterfall, and her ethereal beauty coupled with her temperament that was difficult for humans to reach made people fall for her in an instant.
"Thank you for saving my daughter and children." The centaur girl's face was still cold when she thanked him. She was so cold that no one dared to approach her. She slowly walked over with a silver-white longbow in her hand. "I am the queen of the centaur race, Shana."
Her throat trembled slightly. She was speaking in the centaur language, but in Li Xiang's ears, it became a human language that he could understand.
Under the Eyes of Truth, Queen Shana's combat power was equivalent to a top Level-3 human magician.
However, they could not use magic, so they would not be affected by Li Xiang's magician card. This meant that to Li Xiang, she was more dangerous than any Level-3 magician.
Li Xiang stood up and bowed. "Hello, my queen."
"You can call me Shana." Shana approached him and suddenly frowned. The ends of her silver-white hair became a little dark. The dark color spread all the way up and instantly dyed her silver hair black!
Seeing her change, the group of girls who had let down their guard suddenly raised their weapons. Jana also raised her green longbow and aimed at Li Xiang. She shouted in confusion, "Disaster?!"
Disaster seemed to be the common name and enemy of all races. He understood this one word.
"Don't be nervous." Shana raised her silver longbow and comforted the children behind her. "I'll talk to him."
Li Xiang's heart skipped a beat. Even if the Primordial Array had modified his heart, Bai Lili's blood still flowed in his body. That woman must have a close relationship with the Disaster. He did not expect the centaurs to be so sensitive that they could sense the Disaster aura on him.
"Child, what's your name?" Shana's voice was very soft and had a unique charm that seemed to be able to dissolve his hostility.
"Li Xiang, is there some misunderstanding between us? I'm not a Disaster. You should be able to tell, right? " Li Xiang's thoughts were running wild. The centaurs were an extremely kind race. He did not want to fight with them.
"Yes." Shana held her black hair in her hands. "My hair has been baptized by a dragon. I can sense the aura of any Disaster faction, but that doesn't mean you're an enemy. It's just that generally speaking, races with the aura of Disaster are very cruel and bloodthirsty. Every time we encounter one, we have to go through a fight. That's why the children are so nervous. "
"I heard that some humans have the ability to transform into Disaster. You saved my children, so you're definitely not an enemy." After Shana finished speaking, she softly sang a few times. The soft song quickly calmed the group of girls.
"Yes, my ability comes from inheritance. I have no ill intentions towards you." Li Xiang sighed. If he really got into a conflict with them, it would probably evolve into a situation where one side would fight to the death. This would be terrible for people who came to the Emerald Forest to train.
Shana nodded. She approached Li Xiang and continued to talk to him. She also sincerely invited him to their land as a guest.
Li Xiang just happened to want to ask for some information, so he gladly agreed.
Cana followed at the side, her face red. She really wanted to talk to Li Xiang, but she didn't have her mother's ability. She could only watch them talk.
From Shana's introduction, Li Xiang learned that the Emerald Forest was divided into two regions, the North and South. The South was the territory of the Fey race, and the North was the territory of the Giant Dragon race. The two races didn't interfere with each other and maintained peace for thousands of years. They didn't like outsiders, but the powerful Duke Silo used his unique machinery to conquer the kings of the two races and formed a trade relationship with them.
However, machinery was still a rare commodity in the Emerald Forest. Other than the Fey and the Giant Dragon, the other races rarely had access to these rare items. If they wanted to trade with Wessex, they would have to pay a very high price. A small race like theirs could only have one trade opportunity every year.
Li Xiang clicked his tongue in wonder when he heard that. Immediately, he realized that he was harvesting leeks.
Duke Xiluo had probably reached some sort of agreement with the dragons and fairies, using the information gap to harvest the wealth of other races. Machines were widely used, for example, for some races that ate plants, if they used machines to plant seeds, their output would greatly increase. What was considered normal machinery to humans might be the most precious treasure of these races.
After all, magic and magic were still the privilege of humans. These natural races were just another branch of evolution. Even the powerful Giant Dragon couldn't compete with the top human players.
The strength of the Giant Dragon lay in its terrifying physique. An adult Giant Dragon, even if it was the lowest grade Hybrid Dragon, could rely on its skin and scales to easily resist most magic attacks. It was even immune to normal physical attacks.
The Centaurs could only be considered a small race in the North. They couldn't be ranked at all. However, Queen Shana's strength was extremely strong. Thus, this unknown race rose to prominence. Her name was known throughout the region. Cana took out her necklace to prove her identity. Only the Beastmen didn't buy it.
Most races would give Shana face.
"We Centaurs love pure water. Our tribe's land is next to Mirror Lake. However, due to the continuous infiltration of the disaster aura in recent years, many of the water sources have been polluted. Fortunately, Wessex and I replaced a small water purifier a year ago. This allowed our people to drink the purest lake water."
When Shana talked about machinery and Wessex, her face was full of respect. Because of this, she had a good impression of humans. When she heard that Li Xiang was this batch of Wessex's contestants in the Emerald Forest, she became even more enthusiastic.
In her mind, Wessex's people were her most respected guests.
The group arrived at Mirror Lake. There were giant trees and rivers everywhere. If it weren't for them leading the way, Li Xiang estimated that he wouldn't be able to walk out of here in seven days. He sighed in his heart that his luck wasn't bad.
However, when he saw the simple water purifier next to Mirror Lake, he almost couldn't hold back his smile.
The Centaur tribe was next to Mirror Lake. The male Centaurs wore animal skins and worked hard, while the female Centaurs were mostly topless, showing their beautiful figures under the sun. They were in charge of defense and were also the main force of the battle.
This was a typical matriarchal race. The male Centaurs had an extremely low status and didn't even dare to look up at the Queen.
Seeing the Queen return with a male human, the girls all laughed and guessed, whispering to each other. They seemed to be very curious.
"These children have been spoiled by me. Please don't mind them." Shana sighed and waved her hand to chase them away.
"It's … It's okay …" Li Xiang couldn't help but laugh. In his eyes, the Centaurs surrounding the water purifier were very funny. As a Mechanic, this water purifier was like a toy from when he was young, and it was the lowest grade. Now, this toy was being protected by a race like a god. It felt very strange.
"What's wrong?" Shana asked, puzzled. Her hair had turned back to silver. When she spoke, she moved closer to Li Xiang. He was a little mesmerized by her fragrance.
It really wasn't a good thing to not wear clothes …
Li Xiang complained in his heart, but he still asked seriously, "May I ask, this water purifier, what did you use to trade with Wesykes?"
"A hundred portions of Centaur breast milk, a hundred pounds of grains that we grew ourselves, and a thousand sets of special bows and arrows." Shana sighed and said with a face full of respect, "I know that Wesykes suffered a lot, but at that time, I could only take out these things. In the past, they had very high demands for other races, but they were very kind to us."
"…" Li Xiang felt that he had found a huge and terrifying business opportunity. It couldn't be said that Wesykes was taking advantage of them. To the Centaur race, a pure water source was equivalent to life. A small water purifier was naturally very valuable. Without Wesykes, their lives would be very difficult.
But … Duke Siluo was still a little too black-hearted!
"Actually … I'm also a Mechanic." Li Xiang said calmly. He had a deeper understanding of the words in the manual. This kind of information exchange was probably everywhere in the Jadeite Forest. Once it was exposed, it would probably cause a huge backlash from some races. There shouldn't be any idiots who would expose it.
But just because they didn't say anything, it didn't mean that they couldn't do anything.
Wesykes didn't restrict the participants from interacting with the natives.
"Hmm? You're also a Mechanic? " Shana's eyes instantly lit up. She had heard that Mechanics were very rare even in Wesykes. They were existences that could directly talk to dragons and fairies.
"I don't know what you know about Mechanics. From a human's perspective, I should be quite powerful." Li Xiang spoke the truth. His father was one of the few Mechanics in human history, and his teachers were also the best. He was also a member of the Wesykes family. In terms of status, he was indeed one of the best.
As for his mechanical abilities, Machinery Mastery and Absolute Mechanical Sense were not just for fun.
To make it easier for Shana to understand, he pointed at the water purifier and said, "I can make a machine like this in ten minutes, and the quality is much better than this."
“.....”
Shana felt like she was going to be petrified.
She couldn't understand, or rather, she couldn't accept this information.
Wesaix's machines were recognized by the dragons and fairies. She was lucky enough to see Wesaix's Mechanical City in the Dragon Valley during the Feast of the Ten Thousand Races. She was dazzled by the machines flying in the sky.
This made Shana, who had lived for hundreds of years, admire human Mechanics.
However, she never had the chance to come into contact with them, nor did she understand the concept.
With such a simple explanation, she felt uncomfortable.
"Mother, what did Li Xiang say?" This was the first time Jana saw her mother show such an expression. The other sisters also came up to ask.
"He … he said that he can make a water purifier like this in ten minutes … and the quality is even better than this one."
"Whoosh!"
Li Xiang felt that he had said something wrong because pairs of burning eyes with obvious lust were staring at him.
He probably couldn't escape!
