His words turned the qi-trainers into a frozen ocean . It was not until three seconds later that gasps came over . Shi Meng was the most dumbfounded of all . He pointed at Li Yao and said, "Sand Scorpion, you—you—"
Li Yao closed his eyes, as if he was recalling the past from long ago . He said, "I grew up in a very cruel dark world where the strong prey on the weak . I was an orphan and did not know who my parents were or where I came from . I could only struggle to survive in the world of darkness like a wildling!
"World of darkness? Wildling?"
Shi Meng thought for a while, and his eyes immediately bulged . "Brother Sand Scorpion, are you a wilding from the Dark Continent? It's impossible! The natural environment of the Dark Continent is too harsh to support civilization . The human beings there have all retrograded into ignorant animals .
"Even the relatively intelligent wildings such as those in the Oasis Tribe are still quite underdeveloped . They can never talk as sensibly as you and grasp such brilliant armor technology!"
"Indeed!"
Yan Chifeng said maliciously, "Your accent is apparent different from the Iron Plateau natives . Chances are that it is the space natives' accent!"
Li Yao sighed and said slowly, "I do not know whether or not I was a wilding on the Dark Continent . I only know that I used to live like an unwitty animal and struggle in the Dark Continent until I met a heavily wounded weird man who was wearing a ragged false skin that I had never seen before .
"I didn't know that the false skin was called 'clothes' until a long time later .
"The weird man did not seem to be a local but more like a traveler from a foreign land or even a foreign space zone . He was in possession of very strange knowledge and techniques . He raised me and taught me a lot of things, including magical equipment knowledge that was entirely different from the traditions of Iron Plateau!"
Shi Meng's eyes suddenly shone . He smashed his fist and said, "Are you saying that a space resident was forced to land on the Dark Continent and taught you advanced techniques including the magical equipment skills after he found you by accident?"
Li Yao nodded and then shook his head . "It was basically the case, but I am not sure whether or not he is a space resident, because he never told me where he was from!
"Then someday, he vanished . He is probably dead . In the world of darkness, accidents and deaths couldn't be more normal .
"So, I left my home and reached the nearby of the Furious Bears Tribe after various obstacles . I happened to run into Wu Mayan, who was fighting Emperor Sand Scorpions . You all know what happened later . "
Shi Meng nodded quickly . "That explained a lot . So to speak, your amazing capability and sophisticated armor crafting skills can be traced now .
"Since the space resident could for live such a long time in the Dark Continent, he must have been an expert in space . It is not strange that he taught you so many brilliant techniques . But why didn't you tell us earlier?"
Li Yao smiled bitterly . "I was new to this place and unfamiliar with everybody . How could I dare to say things like that? As it happened, I was diagnosed with amnesia because of the Emperor Sand Scorpions . So, I simply pretended that my memory was lost .
"Later, I gradually assimilated into the Furious Bears Tribe . However, I soon learned about the discord between space residents and Iron Plateau natives and figured out that my foster father was likely from somewhere else . Besides, I also knew a lot of techniques that did not belong to Iron Plateau!
"After living in solitude all my life, I quite enjoyed the Furious Bears Tribe's ambience with so many beings of my own kind around me . I considered myself to be a member of the Furious Bears Tribe, too!
"I feared that I would be banished from the Furious Bears Tribe and end up in the desert by myself again after I told anyone my secret . How could I tell such a story to you?"
Shi Meng opened his mouth but did not come up with anything after thinking for a long time . He lowered his voice, somewhat in embarrassment, and said, "Brother Sand Scorpion, you were overthinking . The Furious Bears Tribe is not—not—"
Li Yao continued, "Your guess is correct . In fact, the structure designs that Chief Xiong found were all authored by me . But I meant no harm for you at all . I merely wanted to fight against the apocalypse side by side with you!"
Shi Meng and Xiong Zhenzhen both exclaimed in shock .
The qi-trainers of other tribes were greatly interested, too .
In the battle of apocalypse, the new weapons of the Fierce Storm Assault Team and the Iron Bears Detonation Team had left a deep impression on them . They did not know that the designer of the weapons was standing right before them!
The man was indeed of high value!
Li Yao went on . "Since my foster father was likely a space resident, after Chief Xiong's birth was revealed, I did not grow suspicious of him . Instead, I found him closer to me than before . That is why I visited him in the dungeon without concerns .
"He said that he was set up and that there was a great plot behind all this; I believed him . That was the reason I looted the warehouse of materials and went all the way to the north!
"That is my background . My foster father is probably not an Iron Plateau native, and I do have knowledge that could not be found elsewhere on Iron Plateau . Just now on the Truth Cabinet, I was too unconfident to say I was 'a real Iron Plateau native'! Everyone, please decide . If you think that I can't be counted as an Iron Plateau native, I'll have no defense!"
Everybody was silent .
If what he said was true, there was really no way they could blame Sand Scorpion . His birth parents were possibly wildings in the Dark Continent . However, wildings lived on Iron Plateau, too!
The chief of the Giant Axe Tribe looked at him with sharp eyes and asked solemnly, "Sand Scorpion, since you mentioned that you once lived with your foster father in the Dark Continent, do you still remember where your residence was?"
Li Yao thought for a moment and replied, "There are no landmarks on the desert, and it's troublesome to recognize locations . However, I remember that I spent my last few years in a mountain cave that was very flat . The top of the mountain was like a desk, so I called it 'Desk Mountain' .
"Also, there were two rivers on the east side of Desk Mountain . The two rivers were quite weird . They were so close to each other as if somebody had torn one river into two halves . "
