The roar gradually became clearer, and there were also some obscure words in the background.
It was not a human language, nor the language of common races such as elves and dwarves, but a completely unfamiliar language.
Su Qing hid in the shadows, gazing into the distance.
The ability to see far and wide was limited, only able to detect movements within a radius of a thousand meters. At that moment, he saw a fierce beast in the distance, covered in wounds, roaring and struggling wildly, with many arrows stuck in its body.
The group that surrounded and killed the beast was a dozen or so men.
Its lower body is like a horse's, but a human body grows out from its neck, with strong, long arms, dark skin, and a handsome face. It holds a hardwood tool and shoots arrows.
They were hunting down the beast, and occasionally they would communicate with each other in a language that Su Qing couldn't understand.
Soon, the beast fell to the ground, and a group of people cheered before leaving with their prey.
Su Qing followed quietly, her heart filled with curiosity.
Is there actually a living creature on this small island?
The centaurs...aren't they extinct?
He remembered that the centaurs seemed to be a type of orc, but they had their own civilization, and like the mermaids in the sea, they did not acknowledge that they belonged to the orc race.
Moreover, Su Qing seemed to remember that the orcs worshipped the Beast God, while the centaurs worshipped another god.
It seems that this is why they were ostracized by other orc races, and later left in a fit of anger, eventually becoming extinct.
The specifics are unclear, and Su Qing doesn't even know what god the centaurs worship.
There's nothing we can do; he's still a baby, and his knowledge base is too limited. When he gets back, he'll need to find more books to read.
Even before reaching the center of the continent, the true core of this world, one already senses the terrifying depths of the water.
A hellish god, a fallen temple, the resurgence of the extinct centaur race...
Following the group of people slowly through a dense forest, they arrived at an open area where a palace suspended in mid-air came into view.
That's a temple!
After just one glance, Su Qing had this idea in her mind.
The palace was in ruins; the gates were destroyed, and there were cracks and broken bricks everywhere.
This is an abandoned temple!
Each god possesses only one temple. A dilapidated temple signifies that the god has fallen.
Otherwise, no god would allow their symbol to become like this.
Su Qing didn't run over immediately, but instead looked down.
That was a settlement of a centaur tribe, and the centaurs he had just encountered were sent out by this tribe to hunt.
Su Qing roughly understood something.
This fallen god is most likely the god worshipped by the centaurs. Because of the fall of this god, the centaurs were almost wiped out, leaving only a small group of people to guard this temple.
If I wanted to go in, this group of people would definitely not agree. I could only sneak in. Although the temple was dilapidated, it was protected by a force. It wasn't very strong, but if I tried to break through it, it would definitely cause some commotion.
After a brief moment of thought, Su Qing slowly left, taking advantage of the pre-dawn darkness to leisurely slip away.
Although the island's suction is strong, it won't affect him in the short term.
After leaving the island, he went straight to his cousin: "Cousin, you need to help me later..."
Su Qing was not polite at all when speaking to her relatives.
"You want me to distract them so you can barge in?"
Black Dragon's cousin was surprised: "Why go through all this trouble? Wouldn't it be simpler to just kill them?"
Su Qing was speechless: "Girls shouldn't be fighting all the time, we should be ladylike!"
Moreover, this might be the last centaur seed. If they really become extinct, where will we breed them if we ever need to use this race in the future?
Should we find some humans and horsemen to live together?
"Besides, these men might be useful in the future, so let's spare their lives!"
After much persuasion, Black Dragon's cousin finally reluctantly agreed.
The two dragons returned to the island and came to that place.
The group was having a meal, and the food was the huge beast they had hunted.
It was a wild boar the size of a small mountain. Cutting it in half was enough to feed this centaur tribe of only a few hundred people.
As for the rest, that's for tomorrow's breakfast.
After breakfast, the tribe's hunting party would continue hunting until nightfall, bringing back prey; otherwise, everyone would go hungry.
Su Qing watched silently as the people communicated in a language he couldn't understand, occasionally bursting into laughter.
There were also some young centaurs running and jumping around, holding small wooden bows and accurately shooting out wooden sticks.
I'd heard that centaurs were natural archers, and it's true!
Su Qing couldn't help but sigh. She watched the group go to rest and waited for another half hour until there was no more movement before looking at her cousin.
Black Dragon Cousin nodded in understanding, flapped her wings, and swaggered to the front of the temple. A dark light shone from her tail, and with a sudden flick, she slammed heavily into the protective force.
The immense force shattered the protective barrier, leaving it ethereal, followed by another dragon claw attack that completely destroyed the protective layer.
The commotion startled the centaur tribe, who had just fallen asleep. The young and strong centaurs rushed out with bows and arrows and weapons.
When I saw that black dragon in the sky...
Fortunately, the centaurs had excellent eyesight, otherwise it would have been very difficult to spot the enormous black dragon that had appeared in the dark sky.
One after another, powerful arrows were fired, all reaching the threshold of the Glory level, with one even approaching the Splendor level.
But against a black dragon of complete bloodline, the power is merely a tickle.
However, the black dragon cousin flapped her wings, dodged, and slowly flew away into the distance.
The speed was already very slow for her, but the men were still struggling to catch up, and they wouldn't give up.
After these people left, Su Qing transformed into a cloud of black mist and flew into the temple.
The temple was empty except for a throne and the woman sitting on it.
"Excuse me!"
Su Qing chuckled and said, "I might have gone to the wrong place!"
After saying that, he turned and ran.
He couldn't help but curse inwardly, "Why is there a living thing in this godforsaken place?"
He tried to run, but after only a few steps, he suddenly froze in place.
Because he discovered that the place he had entered had changed drastically.
The temple was intact, its doors tightly shut, and a flowing dark light spread out, with lines of text appearing on the walls.
But I can't understand it at all.
Su Qing felt a chill run down her spine and stiffly turned her head to look at the woman on the throne.
The woman wore a crown of thorns, dressed in extremely wild animal skins, carried a wooden bow on her back, and held a javelin in her hand.
Su Qing immediately realized which deity this was.
Goddess of the Wild and the Hunt!
