Lord of the Earth

Chapter 34
"Centaur, human blood?"

Looking at the information of these centaurs from "Insight", Xia Tian's first reaction was some doubts.

Are there human beings in other worlds?
Moreover, if Xia Tian remembers correctly, he has read about the creature "Centaur". There are a large number of centaur records in ancient Greek mythology in the West!
"Speaking of which, I also felt a little familiar when I saw the message of 'Mandrill' before, 'Children who like to eat humans can tear tigers and leopards raw'. Now that I think about it, isn't this also related to the "Mandrill" in ancient Chinese legends? "Are the habits highly similar?"

"The ancient myths of the East and the West have mentioned creatures from other worlds! Is there any reason for this?"

Xia Tian is somewhat curious.

But now is not the time to think deeply about it.

Because the centaur's behavior of chasing women across the air has angered Daniel and other soldiers. After all, these women are their family members!
hum!
A soldier in the formation raised the crossbow in his hand, aimed at one of the centaurs and pulled the trigger.

boom!
The bowstring resounded, and the arrows were like meteors, flying towards the chest of the upper half of his body with enough power to pierce gold and crack rocks, aiming to kill!

However, this arrow fell through the air.

Because at the critical moment, the centaur who was moving at high speed unexpectedly stopped quickly, letting the crossbow bolt brush against the leather armor on his body with a strong wind.

Every centaur is proficient in the skill of "bow and arrow", and is naturally far more proficient in how to avoid arrows than ordinary creatures.

Even after dodging the arrow, the centaur still stood on the spot facing the soldier who shot the arrow. It was the same as a human being, except that its face and hair were closer to those of a brown race, with a smile on its face. provocative smile.

Just, the next moment.

This provocative smile turned into horror.

bang, bang, bang...

The sound of a large number of crossbow strings collapsing sounded almost simultaneously.

Immediately, the arrows from the five god-armed crossbows flew out of the territory, and the shooting angle blocked all its escape routes, directly shooting this sixth-order ordinary centaur into a sieve!

Obviously, as an alien creature with a low IQ.

He doesn't know the Chinese allusion of "a sniper fights an arrow" at all, otherwise he wouldn't be complacent just because he dodged an arrow!
Not only this centaur, but the rest of the centaurs also encountered the attack of the god arm crossbow, especially the power of the god arm crossbow obviously exceeded the estimation of these centaurs from other worlds. The powerful arrows can It easily penetrates the thin layer of leather armor on their bodies, and even penetrates their bodies further.

As a result, several centaurs were shot to the ground on the spot, only the leader, a centaur with a green name of the seventh rank, was able to escape into the jungle injured!

"You lowly humans, how dare you attack the scouts of the noble centaur prince."

And after entering the jungle, the centaur with the green name did not continue to escape.

Instead, he shouted to the humans in the territory angrily, using the "universal language" that all intelligent creatures can master after coming to the eternal land!
"Prince? There is a leader behind you!"

Xia Tian's heart moved, these few centaur alien races were just outposts, and there was still a large army behind them?
"That's right, lowly human beings, His Royal Highness the centaur prince has gathered more than two hundred tribesmen who fell into this forest, and holds a 'treasure' that can produce arrows infinitely!"

"Lowly human beings, if you surrender now and dedicate to me the glowing treasure on top of your heads to me, His Royal Highness, he may be able to forgive your crimes, otherwise..."

Good guy, casually revealing all the information about one's own side, is this also a so-called "scout"?
If it weren't for the information seen by the "Eye of Insight" that these centaurs are indeed in arrears of IQ, Xia Tian would suspect that the other party is deliberately setting up a "trap".

Speaking of it, this should be the first time I have had language communication with a non-human creature, although the centaur has some human blood.

"Why do you appear around my territory?"

While Xia Tian asked aloud, he took out something from the lord's space and handed it to Shen Lian next to him, and whispered a few words to him.

"His Royal Highness sent us to find a human murderer wearing silver armor."

"Hmph, that human was able to catch the arrow shot by our centaur scout commander with his bare hands, and shot him to death with a backhand arrow!"

"But I don't believe it. It's definitely those cowardly centaurs who escaped lying. How could lowly humans have such archery skills?"

In the jungle, the centaur with the green name was clutching his bleeding arm, shrinking his body behind a rock, with an agitated expression.

Although the centaurs have human blood, in their world, they disdain the weak human beings, and even often rape, humiliate and plunder!

"By the way, that human is definitely not using a bow and arrow, but using a special weapon like these people, which can shoot arrows that are more powerful than the centaur's bow!"

"I have to go back immediately and tell His Royal Highness the news, so that he can quickly bring the great centaur army over to snatch the treasure."

The elite centaur of the green name muttered to himself, turned around and was about to leave.

Suddenly, he found that at some point behind him, a cloud of fog appeared!
However, the sun has not yet set at this time, why is there fog in the jungle?

"Ah, despicable humans..."

One minute later, Shen Lian hung a silver quality embroidered spring knife on his waist, walked out of the forest and returned the "Mist Hidden Pearl" to Xia Tian!
"What do you think of what the centaur said?"

Xia Tian wanted to know the thoughts of Shen Lian, a talent from Jinyiwei.

"My lord, this half-human, half-horse monster should not have lied."

"They should be looking for the human who used the bow and arrow. They happened to see the 'fire of luck' over our territory. They thought it was a vision of a treasure, so they came to investigate!"

"After we kill them all, we should be able to delay the arrival of some opponents, but it may not be able to delay for too long..."

Shen Lian replied.

And this is also the idea of ​​Xia Tian.

More than two hundred centaurs are definitely a potentially huge threat.

Because these centaurs are different from "half-orcs and mandrills", they are long-range and cavalry, and do not need melee to attack the territory.

Just encircling the territory and using bows and arrows to attack people trying to get out of the territory from a distance will become a difficult problem for him to solve!

Of course, with the degree of "mental retardation" shown by these centaurs today, they may not know how to use these "surround but not attack" tactics.

"grown ups!"

Xia Tian was thinking, a territory resident walked over quickly.

This is a green-named elite leader who has the skill of "domestication (proficiency)" among his attributes!

"What's the matter?"

"Those eggs of 'Black and White Jiaopheasant' have shown signs of hatching!"

As soon as Xia Tian heard it, he immediately ran towards the location where the "Black and White Flood Pheasant" eggs were placed.

Among the one-meter-square bloodstone, cracks appeared on the shells of twelve black and white eggshells, and soon out of them were black and white pheasant cubs the size of basketballs with mucus on the surface!
【Black and white dragon pheasant (cub)】
