Chapter 16 Antidote
"Now you know about Saenster's past. You must have been brought here by him."
Without the slightest hesitation, the young boy knew from the moment the female appeared that she must have some special relationship with Saenster.
As for what kind of relationship they have, he doesn't know for the time being.
However, it is certain that he did see the destruction here from inside the crystal ball.
The pattern on the high priest's green cloak brightened, and he pursed his lips slightly. "There's no need to hide it. After all, nothing in this forest can escape my notice."
“You also have the scent of the Zerg on you. I’ll have Fourteen take you to Suxiu City, where there are spaceships that can travel to all parts of the universe. You should leave here.”
Upon hearing this, Shen Qingqing was stunned and looked down at the child in front of her in disbelief.
What? Don't they hate Saenster? How come they'd let me off so easily?
As if sensing her confusion, the little boy added, "You were brought by him, not the one who killed the queen insect with him, so we won't do anything to you."
"Besides, killing is not allowed here."
He turned around, took the things Vina handed him, and gave them to her. "Wearing this will allow you to pretend to be a local indigenous person, and that will help you blend in more easily."
"Fourteen, Vina."
The two insects whose names were called came over and waited for his instructions.
"There are no other insectoids here for the time being, so the two of you will escort her to Suxiu City. Remember to avoid other races as much as possible."
Only then did she notice the girl next to Fourteen, who was called Vina.
She has long, slightly wavy brown hair that reaches her waist, a chubby little face, large emerald green eyes like deep pools, fair skin, and a slender figure.
Perhaps the insectoids living in the rainforest are all relatively tall; Vina is about 1.7 meters tall, a little shorter than Fourteen.
The girl who looked like a doll walked over curiously, squatted down with her head propped up by one hand, and looked at her with eyes full of curiosity and exploration of the unknown.
"What's your name?" Vina asked softly.
"My name is Shen Qingqing."
Hearing the conversation between the two insects, Fourteen's lips twitched almost imperceptibly.
She looked like she was about to devour me just a moment ago, but now she's suddenly become so gentle.
Indeed, the heart of a female insect is as unfathomable as the bottom of the sea.
"What happened to your leg?"
Suddenly, Vina noticed the thin black lines spreading on Shen Qingqing's legs. She covered her face in surprise and disbelief.
"What's going on? Have you been bewitched?"
The two insects were chatting enthusiastically when Vina noticed that Shen Qingqing was silent. Thinking that she was being threatened by the insects, she grabbed her hand and said indignantly, "Don't be afraid, with Fourteen here, no insect will dare to bully you!"
After Vina said that, the High Priest and Fourteen also turned their attention to her. Being stared at by six eyes from three insects made her a little scared.
Trying to hide, she found that her calves had lost their strength again, so she could only tell them tactfully, "This was left when I was attacked by other insects on my way to escape. I don't know how it happened."
After hearing this, the high priest lowered his head to think, and then told them to take her back to his cabin. "I've heard of this kind of injury before, but I'm not quite sure. Let's go back to the cabin first."
"Fourteen!" Vina patted him on the shoulder. "Then I'll leave the task of taking Qingqing back to you. Remember to walk slowly."
Vina, with her carefree and easygoing personality that belies her doll-like appearance, disappeared into the dense forest after greeting Shen Qingqing.
Clinging to Fourteen's back, Shen Qingqing pondered the possibility of leaving from here.
Of course, this is on the premise that she obtained the small sphere and sent a message to the mysterious commander-in-chief.
……
"It looks like your throat is injured too."
The little boy shone a device similar to a modern light bulb into her throat, then used a tongue depressor to hold down her moving tongue, and drew his conclusion.
"And it also seems to be caused by congenital developmental abnormalities."
Then he turned around and rummaged through a pile of bottles and jars, taking out a few red pills from a glass jar and a few dry grasses from a ceramic jar.
finally……
Shen Qingqing looked at the mountain of branches and leaves in front of her and felt like crying.
Why can't we refine them into pills before eating them?
The high priest, a very serious deity, said, "If you want to ruin your voice, you can choose not to eat it."
Startled, she nodded hastily and quickly packed the herbs into a small bag.
"Oh, and your legs, that's the most important thing."
Pointing to the information in the ancient book, the high priest's expression was unusually solemn.
"The injury looks exactly like what's described in the book, and judging from the feel," he reached out and touched the skin, "can you feel anything?"
"It feels a little numb," Shen Qingqing said after thinking for a moment. "It's not as stinging as it was at the beginning, but I still don't have much strength."
“That’s right. It seems that the abilities of the Deskell lineage are somewhat ineffective.”
The little guy stroked his non-existent beard. "The strength of the Deskel race is linked to the purity of their bloodline. The insectoid that injured you probably didn't have a pure bloodline, otherwise it wouldn't have only caused this level of damage."
Is there any hope?
Rather than talking about the Deskell clan, she was more concerned about whether her leg could recover. If she wanted to leave, she couldn't just run away with a limp.
The high priest glanced at her. "Of course, don't you even know who the greatest witch doctor in the entire Fourth Star System is!"
At this point, he raised his head slightly, and Shen Qingqing, being very perceptive, clapped her hands and showered him with flattery.
They're already bragging to people without even realizing it.
"Actually, it's not that powerful." The high priest coughed twice, rummaged through his belongings again, and finally offered a solution.
"Actually, your illness is not difficult to treat. With a special medicine and acupuncture to expel the toxins, you can be completely cured in less than half a month."
"Really?!"
Shen Qingqing was overjoyed and completely ignored the special medicinal materials mentioned in the conversation.
Just as Shen Qingqing was about to regain the ability to walk, she was suddenly struck by a blow: "But that medicinal herb is very hard to find."
Having figured out the high priest's temperament, Shen Qingqing once again showered him with compliments.
"The greatest and most outstanding witch doctor in the Fourth Star System, you must have a way to heal my injuries, right..."
"I knew you were a good person. I could tell you were different from the first time I saw you."
"With your skills, a few herbs are naturally a piece of cake, right?"
In the end, seeing that the high priest still hadn't made a statement, Shen Qingqing tried to provoke him.
"You haven't told us which medicinal herbs it is after all this time. Don't tell me you don't know and are just trying to fool us, right?"
"Sigh, if only I had known..."
"Who said I don't know?" After a long while, she finally couldn't hold back anymore.
You can doubt his cooking skills, you can doubt his height, but you absolutely cannot doubt his medical skills!
"I am the most renowned Zerg healer here! Back in the day, I was one of the top Zerg talents in the universe! No Zerg dared to doubt my medical skills!"
"Don't move around here, wait for me to write it down for you!"
Oh my god, this sounds so much like a sentence from my textbook.
