Chapter 38: The Snake People
"The snake people, with a human face and a snake body, have two arms, sharp fingers and claws, move extremely quickly, and have toxins in their sharp fangs, some of which can cause paralysis, and some of which can destroy nerves. There is no hair on the top of the head, but there is a slender soft flesh that resembles hair, and the soft flesh sometimes moves according to the mood.
The desert snake people feed on sand, and can eat the damp sand underground, absorb the water and nutrients of the tiny creatures in it, and then expel it. The world began to explain again.
Still on the way to the world explanation. Yeroda had already rushed forward.
The spear spun several times in his hand and crossed in front of the fallen treeman.
"Huh~~~ Who are you?" asked a snake man with a male face standing in front, but he was holding a machete instead of a saw, and his appearance was powerful. He must be a leading captain.
"Why are you doing this? Ye Luoda was righteous.
"Hiss~ Little kid don't be nosy. A female snake man next to Captain Snake spat out a hoarse voice.
The fallen treeman slowly dragged his sawn-off leg to escape.
Seeing this, the snake man captain roared, "Get out of here with me." The captain of the snake man slashed at Ye Luoda, Ye Luoda used his body to catch it, and the head of the gun flicked, and the handle of the gun removed the force of the machete, and then he threw the head of the gun at the other end and slashed towards the snake man.
The snake man was startled, his coiled tail stretched violently, and he jumped away quickly, and at the same time he flicked his tail strongly, slapping the sand and gravel on the ground to attack Yeloda.
The gravel and sand hit Yeloda's strong body without pain or itching.
The other snake people threw stones at Ye Luoda next to them, but they were blocked one by one by the gorgeous marksmanship, left, right, up, and down, so cool!
Turning to the convict next to him, he asked, "Aren't you going to help him? Aren't you friends?"
Criminal adjutant: "It is precisely because he is a friend that he has allowed him to hone himself more." He had just gained strength, and he was more familiar with it. ”
Jie: "I don't think we should interfere too much with the natural development of other races. ”
"So you don't do anything, do you? I don't have the ability to feel, but my ears are good. Yeroda joked with a smile on his face, and the spear in his hand kept waving.
Torture and Jie looked at each other and smiled, and Lily also flew to Xing Zuosin's shoulder to watch the play, she was now able to fly short distances.
I have to say that with Ye Luoda's kung fu, this talent, and the extra strength obtained from the aftermath, his combat power soared, and he was still able to face more than a dozen snake people who acted quickly.
He was stunned to be able to defuse the attacks that came over one by one, and the snakes couldn't hurt him at all.
Yeroda has a good nature, although his father taught him murderous tricks, he can use them flexibly, repeatedly hitting the snake man in the upper body with the barrel of a gun, and he is injured but not killed.
It didn't take much effort for the snakes to be knocked to the ground, leaving the captain alone clutching his wounded right arm.
The captain of the snake man roared: "Who are you, why are you meddling!"
Yeroda asked rhetorically, "Then why did you do this?"
"Hey~ We were ordered by the queen to fetch wood. ”
Yeroda was a little annoyed when she heard the word wood, "Is this living treant just ordinary wood to you?" Yeroda frowned.
"Nope. Captain Serpent denied him.
Yeluoda's brow furrowed, waiting for his explanation.
"They are fine wood. ”
Oh ~ Ye Luoda made a stick with a gun, and a stick hit the fine flesh of his head, and the captain of the snake man screamed in pain. "What!
Dragging his huge body, the old tree man came slowly, walked to the captain and squatted down.
"Phew~I~ remember you, Shafssi. The two races, this generation is on good terms, why? The queen will give such an order? I, watching you grow up, you are not cruel. ”
The treant patriarch stretched out his branch and touched the head of the snake man leader, Shafxi.
The burly Shaffosi unexpectedly twitched the corners of his mouth, with tears in his eyes, and some images came to mind.
That's when he was a child, and he came to play with a few friends, and it was the snake people who were now cutting down trees with him, and they were playing in the forest, sitting on the palms of the old tree people, and the old tree people held them in the palm of their hands, and swung their arms for them, like swings.
It was the happiest memory of their childhood, and the snakes' eyes darkened, as if they were in pain about what they had done.
"But, the Queen's order is absolutely ......"
Before he finished speaking, the sound of the flute in his head disrupted everything and confused his thoughts. The elongated pupils began to dilate and slowly became unfocused.
The other snake men were the same, their eyes empty, and they began to retreat. Not at the speed of escape, but at normal speed.
"Their soul fluctuations are very unnatural, this is the illusion skill. Guilty of Punishment said.
"Illusion skills?" Ye Luoda, who had no knowledge, said in a questioning tone.
Jie: "Also called illusion or confusion, it can make people confused, see illusory illusions, or control others. ”
"There are such terrible tricks to control others!" Ye Luoda was obviously a little afraid of this.
"We should follow along, maybe we can find their lair." Lily, it's up to you to watch the camel cart, but don't break it. Lily looked indifferent and nodded.
"Shafosi~" The old tree man looked at the snake people who were far away, and called out from behind, but did not get any response.
Walking out of the forest and back to the desert, on the way to follow the snake people, the criminal confessor explained to Yeluoda: "Leaf, you see, we followed them, and they didn't react, this is quite a low-level illusion. ”
"This kind of illusion skill to control others is judged in two aspects, one is strength, and the other is command. The intensity should be well understood, how much can be controlled, how much can be controlled, this is considered strength.
But the strength of the light is not a delusion, there must also be instructions. One of the simplest commands is 'Don't move'. Difficult things like 'go cut down the tree and bring it back' and 'retreat if you can't beat it'. And how to cut down trees and how to retreat, how much of their own ability and wisdom can be used by the accused, these are all control over the command. ”
Ye Luoda: "Teacher Xing, should I take some notes?" ”
Jie also smiled slightly: "It's quite detailed, but it's only the content of the second grade." ”
But in fact, in Xing Zuosin's eyes, judging by analyzing the actions of the controlled person is a superficial judgment after all.
And what the criminal offender really looks at is the deeper level, the soul, 'their soul form is changeable and irregular, obviously controlled, and the fluctuation range is relatively large, indicating that the intensity is not low.' The shape of the fluctuation is rough and the frequency is not high, which means that the instructions issued are not complicated and the issuance period is relatively long'.
"The snake people shouldn't have this ability, there must be something strange behind it, and it's definitely not the result of natural development. The world said.
"So we're going to find out. Xing Zuoxin also became curious.
As it got darker and the desert wasn't so hot, the spiders on the dunes curled up into a 'tire' and rolled down the mound in order to avoid predators, crashing into the two-meter-high dirt slope in the desert.
"What do you see that?" Yeroda pointed to the large and small dirt slopes in front of him.
Following the direction that Yeroda pointed out, and also following the direction of the snake people's movements, they saw the habitat of the snake people.
Unlike their imaginary habitat, it was not made up of houses, but slopes, each of which was actually an entrance to a cave, all facing north, avoiding the sun. Inside each cave was a guard, dressed in cloth and armed with a long wooden stick, which was simply sharpened at one end. They followed the snake men into one of the caves and stunned the guards at the entrance of the cave, but they all didn't react, and they still marched in a line.
I went down the downhill tunnel to the underground, and found that the underground caves here were interconnected and intricate. If you are not careful, it is easy to get lost. But for the realm that can sense energy fluctuations, you can't see those snake people, and you can also sense the direction through their crawling sounds, and follow them closely.
The walls inside the underground caverns are inlaid with glowing stones. Green stones are lit every few meters, and the inside of the mine illuminates the cave like a lamp.
"These stones are called the Bright Night Stone, even in the imperial capital, it is also a very important lighting tool, I didn't expect there to be so many in this place!
Walking through the complex cavern, the snake people entered a hall. This hall is like the 'city center' of the snake people. The main connection of all caves. The walls are full of glowing green night stones, and the hall is evenly distributed with a diameter of one meter of night stones, which are supported by palm-like stone buildings, and in the center of the hall is a large night stone with a diameter of five meters, which is held by two huge hands with ten fingers.
Each cave has a guard, who also holds a long, sharpened wooden stick with one end and doesn't look very strong. Despite this, there are dozens of guards in these dozens of caves, which can be regarded as a large force.
There are many snake people coming and going, some old and some young, some resisting tools, some holding clothes, and some carrying wood.
When they arrived here, there were many snake people, and Xing Zuo sin and they no longer followed those snake people. If you expose your existence here, you will definitely cause a lot of trouble.
Hidden at the edge of the cave wall, he silently made a note of the larger cave that the snake men had entered last.
Xing Zuosin still had doubts about the snake race, so he asked: "Snakes are cold-blooded creatures, and all they can see is thermal imaging. That is, the heat emitted by living things. In the snake people, they have human-like eyes. Do their eyes have this function?"
The world was a little surprised by Xing Zuosin's sudden difficult question, but he still replied: "Snakes are indeed cold-blooded animals. But the snake people are more similar to humans, they are not cold-blooded. So, their eyes don't have this function, but they are still sensitive to temperature. ”
"Since they, like humans, judge by the naked eye, there is no way to see our form through objects. Xing Zuoxin pointed to the snake man who was pushing the cart head-on and said.
"So what does this do?" Yeloda was a little puzzled.
Jie, who had already understood the meaning of Xing Zuo's sin, poked Ye Luoda's head with his finger: "You seem to be short of wisdom. Of course, if we get into that cart and cover it with a cloth, the snake people outside won't be able to see us. There is no way to detect the contents of the push through thermal induction. ”
Ye Luoda clapped his hands when he heard this: "Wow~ So that's the case!"
