Chapter Fifty-Seven: The Scaly Tribe

The Scales Tribe is one of several large tribes with a population of more than 10,000 in the Whispering Swamp, located in the northeast of the northern swamp, very close to the country of mages, and belongs to the tribe that communicates with other races a lot. 【】The Scaly Tribe has always been considered by the swamp people to be a tribe favored by Artemis, because it is rich in the spiritual leader of the lizardmen hunting priests, starting from the Tertiary Age, a total of thirty-nine generations of hunting priests, fifteen generations of priests are from the Scaly Tribe, this characteristic makes many pious lizardmen even regard the Scaly Tribe as one of the swamp holy places, but the Scaly Tribe is not strange except for this feature, the lizardmen in the tribe spend their lives in hunting and gathering like other tribes.

Accompanied by the High Priest Alcmene and his daughter, the six members of the party crossed the Firefly Plains and entered the settlement of the Scaly Tribe. Because in the settlement, the girls did not see any residential buildings, although there were many man-made objects around, tables, chairs, cabinets, tools, all kinds of things, but there were no buildings. It wasn't until a few strange lizardmen appeared in front of the girls that the girls realized that this was already the core area of the Scaly Tribe.

It is true that there are no buildings in the Scales, or to be more accurate, all the tribes in the swamp are different from the rest of the sapient creatures, they never build anything. Lizardfolk tribes are very characteristic of their construction, often built in some higher ground between swamps, flat and solid ground, to prevent the water level from rising during the rainy season to flood the tribe.

"Our people never need to build, hiss, we have pure natural buildings to work with. Gallantis took his mother's tail in his arms, followed her happily, and turned back to the surprised maidens and explained, "Look, this is our house in the swamp, hiss, you can't imagine it." ”

What Galantis is referring to. It is a large forest of Suogu trees on this flat plateau, where the Suogu trees are relatively dense, and the tree network at the top is also relatively dense, although it cannot be experienced at night. But even during the day, the light here becomes very faint. However, at the height of seven or eight meters of each Suogu wood, there will be a spherical luminous body, which should be similar to a mineral such as fluorite. The light was cold and faint, but a large number of spheres gathered together could still illuminate the entire settlement.

"Fluorite veins can often be found in the open air in the swamps, hissing and very easy to obtain. Galantis explained for his mother: "We take the fluorites from the fluorite mines, carve them into the same shape, hiss, and place them on each tree, and hiss, and so on. You don't need any energy to keep the entire tribe lit. ”

The thick trunk of the Suogu tree, surrounded by artifacts that could be found everywhere, the cold fluorescence spilled from the trunk, and the faint white light gave the tribe a coat, making everything around it glow a faint silver in the dimness. In the silver dim light, a hole suddenly opened in the trunk of a ropewood tree, and several lizardmen emerged from the trunk, and as soon as they came out, they saw a group of people standing outside, although they were surprised by the large number of humans present. But when he saw his high priest accompanying him, he didn't show too much curiosity, just nodded casually to everyone, and turned away. Soon knock open another tree trunk and burrow into the hole that suddenly appeared.

At this time, the girls knew that all the Suogu wood here was the home of the lizard people. Clever lizardmen are adept at using all the resources available around them, and they save space as well as building materials. I chose to call Suogumu as my home in swamps. When they need to build a house, they choose a suitable Suogu wood within the scope of the tribe, and hollow out the inside as a room, anyway, the Suogu wood is strong enough, only the diameter of the trunk is tens of meters thick, which can open up a large enough internal space, and Suogu wood also has one of the biggest characteristics, their vitality is extremely tenacious, and most of the nutrients are transported by the outer skin, so even if the trunk is hollowed out, it will not affect them too much.

So, the lizardmen hollowed out the trunks of the trees to make houses, and made doors and windows out of the original bark, and once the doors and windows were closed, from the outside, they looked no different from ordinary Suogu wood, and no one would have thought that there would be three or four floors of rooms inside, let alone that hunters would live here.

"Come, go this way, hiss. Alcmene flicked his tail and threw his daughter between him and Catherine to the other side, and Galantis seemed to enjoy the game, hugging his mother's tail and smiling even though he was flung around. Alcmene glared at her daughter, and after she had restrained herself a little, he pointed to a thick tree trunk and said to the girls, "Please come in, hiss, this is my home and Galantis, and the one below, hiss, you can also come out and go in together." ”

As Alcmene stomped his feet on the ground, in the middle of the room surrounded by maidens, the ground chipped and a miniature version of the hydra emerged from the dirt. said to be a miniature version, in fact, it is about the same height as an adult, but it is much worse than her original size. In the Yala world, many powerful Warcraft can scale their body size through energy control to a certain extent, but after the size is reduced, not only does it need to consume energy to compress itself, but also the attack and defense capabilities will be significantly reduced, and if the size becomes larger, on the basis of the same need to consume energy, although the offensive and defensive capabilities are not reduced, but the agility and flexibility have changed significantly, so most Warcraft are unwilling to do this.

After Hydra Jack shrunk in size, his voice became much thinner, and the nine heads writhed excitedly and looked around, and said happily, "Al, is this your home? It's funny, you've never invited me to your house." ”

"Because your presence always creates panic, hiss. Alcmene said helplessly: "You can remember, hiss, since we know that it has been nearly a hundred and twenty years, hiss, every time you come to the North Marsh in droves to lay eggs, how much trouble will it cause to my people. ”

"I didn't do that. Jack said aggrievedly, "I didn't do anything." ”

"But the rest of your tribe is not as intelligent as you, hiss, even if you restrain them, you can't change their wildness. The high priest sighed and pushed open the door of the treehouse: "Don't stand outside, if you are seen by the people, you may be frightened." To be continued
