Chapter 285 Minotaur Totem Pole
Inside the tent in the Minotaur's stall.
The three of them introduced themselves to each other, and of course Chen Xian still used the pseudonym Shi Xin.
Steel Hoof turned to Lucy again, with a simple expression of gratitude on his face, and his voice was low but full of sincerity: "Fox Princess, thank you very much. If I hadn't heard your discussion with this brother about Mad Wolf, I wouldn't have the courage to bet the 1,000 gold coins I had saved for a long time on Mad Wolf."
When Lucy heard this, a trace of embarrassment flashed across her face. After hesitating for a moment, she said softly, "Brother Steel Hoof, actually... I now think that Mad Wolf might lose this game."
As soon as she said this, she felt a little guilty and her voice unconsciously became weaker.
Chen Xian was standing by and saw Lucy's embarrassed expression.
"Ah?" Steel Hoof's eyes instantly widened like bells, full of disbelief. "How is this possible? Didn't you bet 10,000 gold coins on Mad Wolf to win? You foxes are famous for your intelligence and you always do things with confidence. How could you do something without any confidence?"
Lucy sighed helplessly, and subconsciously looked at Chen Xian for help. There was resentment towards Chen Xian in her eyes, as if saying "It's all your fault. You put me in this embarrassing situation", but also a hint of expectation, hoping that Chen Xian could give a reasonable explanation.
Chen Xian's mouth corners slightly raised, still looking confident, but what he said made Lucy completely give up.
"Actually, Brother Steelhoof, Whitehair has recovered."
"What!" Steel Ti was so shocked that he took a big step back and almost bumped into the animal skins placed behind him.
He was shocked and shook his head repeatedly, "That's impossible! I have carefully observed Baimao before. He was injured too badly. According to common sense, it is impossible for him to recover in such a short time."
Lucy also came to her senses at this time and added: "Last night, Mad Wolf gave Baimao some medicine. It was a magical medicine. After Baimao took it, his condition was obviously much better." While recalling the scene of last night, she secretly observed Steel Hoof's reaction.
When Gangti heard this, his legs went limp and he sat down on the ground. The expression on his face instantly changed from shock to despair and regret.
He sighed, his voice full of helplessness and sadness: "We Tauren live in the Monster Forest, which is a dangerous place. We usually rely on totem poles to protect the tribe.
These one thousand gold coins were what the entire Minotaur tribe had been saving for a long time, and they were intended to be used to purchase materials for forging weapons.
I had been planning on going to the Troll Chassis to find the Witch Doctor to buy materials after watching the game.
If we win this bet, we can buy 20 materials and the tribe's combat effectiveness will be greatly enhanced.
But now it seems that Mad Wolf will definitely not win. Without this gold coin, how can I buy the materials for the totem pole? How can I survive in the Warcraft Forest in the future? "
At the end of his speech, his voice was choked with sobs.
Lucy listened to Gangti's words, her heart was full of sympathy, her eyes were slightly red. She looked at Chen Xian again and said angrily: "It's all your fault. Why did you ask Mad Wolf to deliver the medicine?" The tone of her voice was like a complaint, but also a bit of coquettishness, as if she was blaming Chen Xian for doing something unnecessary, which harmed Mad Wolf and Gangti.
Only then did Steelhoof realize that it was Chen Xian's idea to let Mad Wolf deliver the medicine. He immediately stood up and performed the most noble etiquette of an orc warrior towards Chen Xian, and said solemnly: "Although this may make me lose the bet, I respect your approach. It is an aboveboard behavior. It's just...what will our tribe do in the future?"
Lucy looked at Steelhoof's worried face, and something came to her mind. She said, "I know some dwarven craftsmen. Maybe we can ask them for help and see if they can make the weapons you need."
There was a hint of expectation in her eyes, hoping that she could help Steel Hoof.
Steelhoof smiled bitterly and shook his head. "Fox Princess, thank you for your kindness. But the Tauren weapon totem pole is too special. Currently, only the troll witch doctor can make the materials. The dwarves really can't do it."
After hearing this, Lucy's hopes were instantly shattered, the smile on her face disappeared, and she began to blame herself again.
Chen Xian looked at the two men's lost expressions and consoled them, "Mad Wolf may not lose!"
It would have been better if Chen Xian didn't say anything, but this sentence immediately pointed out Lucy.
"What are you talking about!" Lucy retorted immediately, her voice rising a few notches. "It's already this late, and you're still being stubborn. Brother Steelhoof has made it very clear that Mad Wolf has no chance of winning."
Steelhoof also nodded, agreeing with Lucy, his eyes full of despair.
Chen Xian smiled helplessly. He looked at the huge broken wood on the stall and asked, "Steel Hoof, is this Minotaur weapon totem pole the broken wooden stake on the stall outside?"
Steel Hoof nodded, "Yes, this is part of the totem pole. It was damaged in the previous battle with the monsters and has never been repaired. It has been left like this and has become a thorn in our tribe." As he spoke, he stroked the broken totem pole, his eyes full of regret.
Chen Xian then asked, "Can you tell me the origin of this totem pole?"
Gangti sorted out his thoughts and said slowly: "Two thousand years ago, a powerful human came to the Orc Continent, his name was Tang Yi.
At that time, he discovered traces of demons near our Tauren tribe. Those demons were very ferocious and caused considerable harm to us Tauren.
The strong man Tang Yi was full of justice and came to our aid, and even helped us make a totem pole.
This totem pole is amazing. It greatly enhances the fighting power of us Tauren.
But the material used to make totem poles is really special. As I said just now, it has to be dead wood that is more than a thousand years old and it must be strong.
But dead wood can't survive for thousands of years. Later, we finally found that only the troll witch doctor had mastered a special production method that could process dead wood into usable materials. However, one material cost 1000 gold coins, which was too expensive. "
As he told the story, he gestured and vividly presented the story of that year to Chen Xian and Lucy.
After hearing this, Chen Xian concluded that this Tang Yi was Emperor Tang Wu. Instantly, his mind flashed with the legendary life of Emperor Tang Wu and the traces he left in various places, such as the amazingly powerful Five Elements Sealing Spirit Formation under the Death Icefield. He couldn't help but sigh in his heart that Emperor Tang Wu's influence was so far-reaching that he left such an important mark on the Tauren tribe of this Orc Continent.
"Chen Xian, what are you thinking about?" Lucy asked when she saw Chen Xian lost in thought. There was a hint of curiosity and worry in her eyes, wondering if Chen Xian was planning something again.
Chen Xian came back to his senses and said, "A thousand-year-old tree that has not decayed is indeed rare, but what if it is not a dead tree?"
As the successor of Tai Chi formation, Chen Xian could tell at a glance that the broken totem pole was actually a kind of wood struck by lightning.
It is the part of wood that survives after being struck by lightning. It contains the pure yang energy of lightning and is also a basic material for refining magic tools to ward off evil spirits on Blue Star.
"Brother Stoneheart, what do you mean...?"
Gangti's eyes were full of confusion, and Lucy looked at Chen Xian seriously, hoping that he had a solution.
"This..." Chen Xian didn't know how to explain it for a moment. He couldn't tell them that it was lightning-struck wood! That would also explain lightning-struck wood, pure yang energy.
Especially Lucy's curious look, Chen Xian didn't want to be entangled by her and kept asking questions.
After a brief pause, Chen Xian's eyes turned and he asked Gangti, "Is the wood you use to make totem poles black, as if it has been burned?"
"Yes, yes..." Steelhoof's eyes were full of surprise, and a glimmer of hope ignited, "Brother Stoneheart, do you know that kind of wood?"
"Can burnt wood be made into weapons?" Lucy couldn't help but ask.
"Princess Lucy, the totem pole is not simply burnt wood. Our tribal elders said that there is a special burning energy in the black wood that can keep the wood from rotting. It is also the key to successfully building a totem pole."
Steel Hoof patiently explained to Lucy and looked forward to the answer from this clever monkey.
"If it's that kind of wood, I can make it."
"Really?"
A look of ecstasy appeared on Steel Hoof's face.
