Chapter 326: Dryad

Kobolds?
The girl felt quite confused.
Why would there be kobolds in a place like this?
Moreover, they did not look like the Kobolds she was used to.
These Kobolds looked quite well-built, were wearing simple leather armor, and holding spears. They did not look like ordinary Kobolds but rather… Kobold warriors.
Kobold warriors?
Thinking about that, the girl could not help but give a self-mocking smile.
"Maybe I've reached my limit… and I'm hallucinating…"
How could Kobolds have warriors?
As she thought that, her body slowly fell forwards.
After running and escaping for so long, her body had reached its limit.
Everything… was over…
That was her final thought before her body slowly fell.
On a grassy plains, the girl's body powerlessly fell to the ground, surrounded by blood.
What the girl did not know was that after she fainted, those Kobolds did not leave and instead gathered around her.
"What is this? Can we eat it?"
"It looks like a human… Chief said we can't eat…"
"She looks different to those humans…"
"Is it a human juvenile?"
The Kobolds talked among themselves, looking quite confused.
In the past, Chen Heng had given the order that if they encountered other creatures in the wilderness, they were to bring them back alive.
This not only included humans but other creatures as well.
Even though agriculture could support Kobolds, they could not only rely on agriculture or they would lack meat.
Just like how they needed good seeds for agriculture, they also needed to develop in farming.
As such, Chen Heng had given the order for Kobolds to bring back various creatures.
Of course, if they could also bring back intelligent races, that would also be good.
Intelligent races meant that they would have races they could communicate with.
No matter what they were, Chen Heng would be able to get value out of them.
If it was in the past, the Kobolds would have instantly leapt on this girl and devoured her.
In the end, even her bones would not have remained.
However, the Kobolds faithfully followed Chen Heng's orders and brought the girl back.
Of course, this was partly because the Kobolds' environment had changed.
Now, they were no longer lacking in food.
Thus, they could naturally give up on some prey.
Otherwise, if they were ravenous, even if Chen Heng had given out orders, there would occasionally be disobedience.
Looking at the girl on the ground, the Kobolds looked at each other before tying her up and bringing her back.
...
"She… doesn't seem to be a human…"
Looking at the girl the Kobolds had brought back, Chen Heng frowned.
He had been in his laboratory, doing experiments.
He had received news, saying that they had brought in a human, and he had thought that it had been another human adventurer.
This was not too strange.
During this period of time, news about this Kobold tribe had spread in the Qika Kingdom because of Helu and Kumir.
Even though the two of them had wanted to hide the existence of the Kobold tribe, as they profited more and more, they became unable to hide it.
After all, if they wanted to gain more profits, they had to hire a merchant group and some mercenaries.
It was impossible for just the two of them to transport everything.
As such, they needed helpers.
However, as they recruited more people, it was inevitable that the news would be leaked, causing more and more people to go there, hoping to make profits.
As such, more and more human merchants had begun to come here.
It was no longer a strange thing for humans to visit this Kobold tribe.
However, after seeing this person, Chen Heng felt that something was off.
"This aura…"
Sensing this girl's aura, Chen Heng frowned.
Compared to ordinary humans this girl gave off a unique aura.
It innately made one feel some affection towards this girl and feel goodwill towards her.
Evidently, this kind of aura was not something that a human could have.
There were also other things different about her.
Her blood was green and red, and its smell was different to that of an ordinary human. It did not smell gory and instead smelled fresh.
From how Chen Heng saw it, just this girl's blood could be a magic material.
Apart from this, the girl was incredibly small.
These signs pointed towards a certain race.
"Dryad?"
After observing for a while, Chen Heng came to a conclusion.
Dryads were another race in this world.
Legends said that Dryads were the family of the Nature God, and they were powerful creatures and could even rival dragons.
It was just that in the war between gods, the Nature God had fallen and his family had been cursed. Their bloodline power had been stolen and suppressed, causing them to become an ordinary bloodline race.
However, even so, the Dryads were still very powerful.
The legends said that the Dryads were naturally close with nature, controlled nature energy, and had decent magic skills.
Most of them were females and were adept at planting magic plants. At the same time, their blood was a good magic material and could be used for all kinds of alchemical potions.
Overall, they were quite powerful creatures.
After Chen Heng concluded that this was a Dryad, he still felt quite confused.
"There are also Dryads in the Wastelands? And her injuries…"
Chen Heng frowned as he examined the Dryad girl's injuries.
From how he saw it, the Dryad girl's injuries were quite serious, but there were no traces of magic.
They had been caused by pure brute force.
As he examined further, he could tell that most of the wounds were arrow wounds, which had been shot from far away. Only a small portion of them were caused by swords.
Overall, her injuries were quite severe.
However, it was miraculous that despite being so severely injured, she was still alive. It seemed that her lifeforce was quite strong.
Even if the Kobolds had not discovered her and brought her back, her powerful lifeforce would have kept her alive.
This powerful lifeforce aroused Chen Heng's curiosity.
However, after doing some examinations, he cleaned out the girl's wounds before stretching out his hand.
A warm energy spread out from his hand.
A light spread out—it was the light of the healing divine skill.
At that moment, healing energy covered the Dryad girl's body.
