In a swamp in the north of the continent full of miasma, poisonous insects and beasts, there is a camp that is not too large, and in a simple but relatively clean environment, a semi-serpentine creature lives. Diaphragm

They have long snake bodies below their abdomen, and elven-like bodies with fine scales above their abdomen, which cover almost 95% of their body surface, with only their heads above the lower jaw showing their fair skin.

Judging from the state of affairs in the camp at this time, this legless creature with four arms and extraordinary swiftness in its movements is undoubtedly a civilized and intelligent race;

Looking at the size of the community, it can also be seen that the number is about more than 400.....

At its peak, it had millions of compatriots and tens of millions of subordinate races, and it had a large area of fertile territory on the western side of the continent, adjacent to the Lai Yin tribes.

In the past, the Serpents were known for their active ancestral altars, powerful shamans, agile and powerful multi-armed warriors, and strange venom weapons.

However, since the Ancestral Altar fell into a dead silence hundreds of years ago, they quickly fell into the flames of war for many years under the suppression of the rest of the powerful clans led by the Yin tribes, and even the backlash of the subordinate races.

Two fists are hard to beat four hands, not to mention that they have lost their protection? Diaphragm

Nearly 200 years ago, repeated failures made the decline irreversible, and the snake spirit clan ushered in the final choice of 'slave or death, and must give up sacrifice'.

As a result, the Snake Spirit King and the royal family were about to be completely defeated, and led the population to flee.....

In the nearly 200 years since then, this population has been adrift in various remote and difficult environments in the continent struggling to survive, and due to hunting and persecution from the natural environment, it has become more and more dispersed and the population size has become smaller and smaller.

To this day, the total population is less than 300,000, and the royal family is gradually withering in the endless pursuit;

The experience of being fed by tens of millions of subordinate races in the past not only brought them an incomparably glorious and glorious past, but also made the history of the race at the peak at the beginning of the game, but also made 'farming' fail to become a memory that went deep into their bone marrow.

As a result, they suffered from the pain of not being productive, and almost from scratch they groped for other means to fill their stomachs except hunting;

The process is full of bitterness, and seeing the entire race, it is about to perish uncontrollably. Diaphragm

And this settlement, hidden deep in the swamp, is one of the fugitive branches of the once thriving snake spirit clan, and its living conditions are also the best portrayal of the entire clan today.....

The powerful poison resistance has become the foundation of life in the settlement, and the wild fruits and some ordinary creatures in the swamp have become the food for their survival;

But the reason why the swamp is 'human' is not only because of the natural poisonous gas here, but also because of the population of demonic beasts living in it, which is also one of the greatest hardships that the settlement faces today;

And the extreme lack of metal weapons has magnified their harmfulness countless times......

In the past, there were 'sentinel' units that lived in groups of monsters, followed the warriors returning from hunting and touched the settlement, and after a few nights, a 'beast tide' was formed, causing them to lose nearly half of their compatriots;

Subsequently, the snake spirit branch gave up the food that had been planted with great difficulty, and chose to migrate again in desperation.....

~~~~~~~~ Diaphragm

More than ten kilometers outside the settlement, a group of snake spirit warriors with long and short spears on all four arms, were carrying a few prey back to the camp, and no one along the way spoke, either unable or daring;

There was a slight tiredness and relief on their faces, but more of a fierce vigilance, constantly spitting out the long, forked tongue at the tip, in the poisonous mist with extremely low visibility and extremely complex smell, and constantly collecting information in place of the rest of their senses.

On the way back, they habitually passed through a lush woods that were rare in the swamp, and began to search for fruit in them, as usual.

It's a strange forest, there are no monsters, no poisonous gases, and fruits are produced all year round.

Of course, as a settlement that migrated here only a few years ago, what the Serpent Spirit branch didn't know was that the 'age' of this forest was actually not longer than theirs......

"Hiss~ Brothers, come and see this!"

Instinctively lowering his voice, a warrior summoned his companion to look at a different fruit and asked what to do with it. Diaphragm

"Hiss~ Take it back and show it to the leader, it's so big, so watery, it would be great if it could be planted in the camp."

It seems that the snake spirit of the boss of the group made such a judgment, and carefully put it in his arms as if he was afraid of breaking it.

After a short rest, the warriors set out again for the camp, which was still a long way to go.

After the two 'snake spirit hours', the warriors successfully returned, handed over their prey and ordinary fruits to the treasury, and found the leader with the special fruit the size of half a head......

"Chief! Look what we found! ”

The huge female snake spirit snaked its lower body on the ground, and its upper body swayed from side to side, roaming from a distance at a seemingly slow and fast speed;

As she got closer, she took the fruit that the warrior had lifted and looked at it in front of her eyes, and an inexplicable feeling of 'deliciousness' came over her, and then it naturally faded away, just like all other thoughts of ups and downs. Diaphragm

The leader didn't care about this inconspicuous strangeness, but just nodded to the warriors,

"It's hard work, go down and have a good rest."

He soothed their tired bodies and minds with a hoarse voice, and then lifted up the leather tent with all four arms and burrowed into the dwelling.

Inside the tent, she picked up the fruit and looked it up and down, sniffed and even licked it unconsciously, and then set it aside, ready to deal with the affairs of the camp first.....

Although the settlement is small, there are many problems, such as incubation, feeding, food, health, etc., although she does not need to do it herself, but she also needs to pay attention to it at all times.

After reading the accumulated things, the leader inadvertently picked up the fruit on the side and took a bite, and after realizing what he had eaten, he was only stunned for a moment, and then he ate it whole with strong poison resistance.

"Hmm.... Delicious but doesn't seem to have seeds? It's a pity...."

It was nightfall, and the chief went out to check on the night patrol and so on, and then returned to the tent and went to sleep;

In my sleep, it seems that nothing has happened, and some special cells have begun to act from the stomach.

The strong stomach acid failed to form an obstruction, and the well-defined organs did not produce a barrier, they entered the blood vessels, deceived the immunity, and then killed all the way to the spinal cord, killed the brain, and merged with each other, forming complex and invisible lines.

~~~~~~

A cliché story, the story of the last princess who fled with her people and eventually died in order to 'protect'......

The leader of the camp awoke from a nightmare, and she dreamed of her mother again;

In the dream, the mother told herself about the beautiful life in the past, the glory and glory of the past; Diaphragm

Fifty years ago, the scene of my mother being bitten off by the beast that fell from the sky was repeated again and again;

Later, the camp was breached by the herds, the tribe suffered heavy casualties, and they left behind their hard-earned food and began to migrate.

The leader rubbed his face in some distress, for lately he had been having such sad dreams for some reason......

'Alas...'

Just as she sighed silently, an elven warrior at the bottom of the woods in the distance put away the controller in his hand, and said with the same emotion,

"The fifth-order witch doctor's cell weapon is really easy to use~"

And in the hollow cube in front of her, a dream-waking snake spirit with a painful face was displayed at this time..... Diaphragm

It was Azra, the leader of the settlement, as a royal descendant that is rarely seen today, she has a very large size in the settlement, and even in the entire snake spirit race, her snake tail is more than six meters long, and the upper body of the elf-like body is also about 1.2 meters high;

However, although the body is large, the proportions are extremely harmonious, Azra not only has a beautiful face, a well-coordinated upper body, and even the black tail of the lower body, which has a sense of curiosity.

Overall, this is a beautiful creature that definitely fits the aesthetics of elves.....

"The tenth dream in two months, and the five more times should almost form a deep suggestion......"

As a good intelligence officer, appreciating beauty is not in conflict with carrying out a mission, and this elf is like this at this time.

~~~~~~

Three months later, Azra stared at a small tree in front of him with a complex gaze that was suspicious and wary, mixed with a hint of hope; Diaphragm

More than a month ago, the warriors who had gone out hunting brought back a strange seed with a diameter of thirty centimeters, and sent it to her again for confirmation.

She probed vigilantly, and when she felt that it was all right, she planted it in the tent, and there was one more plant in the house.

Just as she chose to 'plant it in the tent,' it was indeed a strange plant, for it could talk;

Now, for example, it has 'spoken' again......

"How's it going, have you thought about it?"

The voice was in the language of the serpent, and it was indeed from the tree in front of him, and the leader, who was already surprised by this, did not dwell on it, but responded in a slightly hoarse voice in the midst of concern and hesitation,

"I... I have to think again..... "Lang."

"You can think again, but how long can your people hold on? Survive day and night in a deserted area, die one today, die two tomorrow, how long can you die? ”

"The snake spirit clan does not want to be a slave, and does not want to be a vassal who obeys the orders of other clans, otherwise they would have chosen to take refuge in the two kings of Mengqi a long time ago......"

"We don't need slaves, we just want to give the weak who are struggling to survive a way to live, and the two kings of Mengqi are not so kind."

"But how do I trust the faceless 'you', I still don't even know who I'm talking to."

"Aren't we giving promises rich? With a powerful but troublesome suzerain, a well-stocked territory, an autonomous city-state, and a stable environment free from oppression, are you not fed up with the miserable situation you are in? ”

"But why help us in vain? What do you want? ”

"I said it, give to the weak..."

"Please stop prevaricating with empty reasons, in the more than 100 years I have lived, the suffering of the snake spirit clan proves that there is no kind ..... in this world that is not related to each other."

The silence lasted for a few seconds, and just as the leader thought that this conversation was about to end again, it spoke again,

"Ma'am, you are a royal descendant, through which you can better trust the rest of the scattered tribes of the Serpent Spirit Clan, and the promise we made before will never change due to the attitude of the tribes; Even if the final closure fails, you and the people in your settlement will still be able to live a stable life. ”

Azra fell into hesitation, the promise given by the other party was too good, and the demand was too little, which certainly made her heartbroken, but at the same time she was more suspicious;

But think about the situation of the Serpent Spirit Clan now......

She understood that she didn't really have a choice, and that deep down she had an intuition that the other party was credible at work, so she said after a moment of silence,

"Can you see your commitment? I want to see if the 'good' you speak of exists, and if your people are as worthy of protection as you say. "Ahh

"I already know the appeal, please wait ......."

Azra sat cross-legged with the snake's tail crossed, looking up and closing his eyes, waiting in anticipation and unease.

And at the bottom of the dense forest that she was familiar with, the elven warrior from before also rubbed his eyes, and sent a request to the upper peak with great joy.

She knew that this request was likely to be approved quickly, and it was not for the reasons she had previously stated, but only for the Intelligence Department's own plan;

On the council's side, the witch doctors seem to value the 'present' serpent spirit for other reasons;

This can be known from the 'fifth-order cell fruit' alone, after all, the task of receiving has been going on for so long, but I have never heard of any tribe using such power.

"Maybe I'm thinking too much? It's just because there were too few fifth-order witch doctors in the past? Forget it, wait for the reply from above~"

Her eyes looked at the curtain of light again, scanning from her tail to her head over and over again, and she murmured,

"But it's better not to go.... Once this goes, you can't help but disagree, and if it develops into a strangulation mission, I must also get involved~"

That night, a hypersonic transport spacecraft departed from the headquarters, landed on five combined motherships that were 'moored' in the air along the way, and after replenishing nutrients, it arrived at the closest continental base station to the swamp in a very short time.

And not long after.......

"Azra chief, please go to the five thousand 'snake spirit rice' north of the settlement and wait, we will go to pick it up."

"Am I alone? Or is it permissible to bring a guard? Half-convinced, the leader of the snake spirit asked the little tree.

"Feel free to have less than thirty, but all the guards brought to the scene must come with us." Diaphragm

"This.... Got it, I'll go myself. ”

"Yes, too."

At the end of the call, Azra handed over the settlement and the rest of the matter to his trained successor, and set out with a near-death determination and hope in the eyes of the rest of his countrymen, bewildered and worried.....

~~~~~~~~

Since the other party only gave a very wide waiting place, Azra, who arrived alone, always paid attention to the movements around him, and kept looking around and sniffing in a mood of fear of missing out and luck.

And just when she was restless, I don't know how much time has passed, or how short time has passed, suddenly she looked up in confusion and looked at the sky that seemed to be empty in the night.

Azra was sure that something was spewing extreme heat, but it was still the same darkness.... Diaphragm

She vigilantly retreated more than ten steps, and even planned to turn around and escape, but such a coincidental time and such a coincidental place made her hesitate and did not choose to flee regardless of it at the moment.

At this moment, a huge winged 'creature' appeared quite abruptly in the far sky;

That seems to be a kind of bird? But what seems to be a plant?

Anyway, it was a strange creature with a dark green body and a distinctly metallic hue, and it was spewing nearly purple fireworks downward, falling slowly in silence.

Just as Azra was slightly panicked and hopeful, the giant bird hovered at a height of about 100 meters above the ground, and then its abdominal cavity was opened, and a strong figure seven meters tall jumped out of it like an egg and fell to the ground.

After that, the imaginary sound of 'winter' was not heard, because when it was about to land, a strong air flow erupted from the figure's feet, allowing it to land steadily in the buffer.

It was only at this point that Azra could see and accurately judge the size of the person from a reasonably suitable distance..... Diaphragm

'The core comes to Yin and the bestiality comes to Yin? ’

The Serpent Spirit Clan's long-time pursuer was the first option that came to mind when he saw the 'Giant Bird' not long ago, but it was quickly rejected because all the characteristics did not match;

But before she could think of the next answer in her thoughts, she had already leaned close to the front, and said with a half-squat on one knee,

"Please let me take you up, the snake spirit clan can't fly, right?"

The voice is crisp and beautiful, but Azra can't tell the other party's male and female, after all, there are races in the Northern Continent with low females and crisp males;

But from the tone of his voice, he could feel the similarity with the previous Yuezhong and his own interlocutor.

This was able to confirm his identity, and even though there were still many unnamed Mohu places, Azra had calmed down in a sense of 'trust';

So, she saluted with the etiquette of her own clan, then looked at the other party's strong body, and then looked at her own long enough and big enough, but still slender in comparison, and then nodded and replied,

"Thank you..... Trouble. ”

The figure said 'offense', and then hugged her body, even if the other party instinctively wrapped his long tail around his waist, he still started the engine and lifted off without hesitation.

There was a wonderful touch of metal and plants on the surface of the body, and Azra, who was extremely sensitive to temperature, sensed the incongruity of this body, and instinctively sensed that the real body of the other party should still be in the inner position;

But she didn't ask much, just relaxed the tail that was exerting force before, and then let it do in silence, anyway, she would die if she died, and the settlement would not be worse anyway, so let's take one step at a time;

Perhaps, she will be able to find a reliable shelter for the Clan......

~~~~~~ Diaphragm

It didn't take long to lift off, and in the blink of an eye they had reached the belly of the 'Strange Bird' and burrowed through the open square opening.

'This is not a biological ......'

Such an idea had been formed before entering, and when he really saw the space inside, which was out of touch with the outside world, Azra finally became convinced of this feeling.....

The inside and outside are the same metallic dark green, and there is no dazzling decoration except for some unknown fine lines, but there is still a sense of wisdom and order that she can't explain.

However, the point is not so much about the mysterious cavity and its ontology in the outside world......

On the left and right sides, there were 4 purple sapient creatures sitting straight, as well as the two in front of her who were in another 'room', plus the one who brought her up, a total of 7 lifeforms, which attracted more of her energy now......

The end of the long tail swayed nervously and gently, and Azra, who had been put down, felt at a loss for what was beyond his knowledge. Diaphragm

"Welcome, ma'am."

The four legged creatures stood up and saluted, and one of the big creatures who brought her up also came out of a similar creature, nodding to them at this time.

There are many things that Azra is also stunned about, such as 'why can anyone speak snake language?' and 'what kind of species is this?......'

But after all, she was also the leader of a settlement, and at this time, she still tried her best to suppress all the thoughts in her heart, and sat down cross-legged under the guidance of the other party after returning the salute.

Immediately, a sense of weightlessness followed, followed by a violent push on the back, which made Azra realize that they were flying, and that they were speeding at a speed that was even beyond her realization.

~~~~~~~~~

When Azra embarked on a strange journey on an elven spaceship, in the far southern Black Forest, the witch doctors also began a more mysterious and great attempt...... Diaphragm

Two years after the breakthrough between the fangs and the thick fangs, there were 17 more fifth-order witch doctors in the Black Forest, and at this time, a total of 21 fifth-order witch doctors were gathering in a large square in the headquarters to prepare something.

At the very center, the body of the Nesarata is connected to a complex pipeline, which draws on the nutrients that are transported from it, as well as the hot liquid metal, and in the process, the mimic grows larger, tapering and lengthening, and finally transforms into an extra-long rocket.

"Higher cell fluid injection complete!"

"Solid nutrient reserves are injected!"

"The liquid oxygen and liquid hydrogen conversion chamber have been inspected!"

"The photosynthetic plate inspection is complete!"

"The multi-range engine block has been inspected!" Diaphragm

"The return capsule is checked!"

"The first level of the throw-off procedure is fine!"

"The second level of the throw-out procedure is fine!"

"It's okay to stay in the empty cabin!"

The meticulous examination was carried out by three parties, namely Nesta himself, the remaining 19 fifth-order witch doctors, and the First Hub.......

"Sun Lord, Parliament Leader.... Are you really not thinking about it anymore? Even if we try, it's up to us to find the way, right? ”

"Haha, I'm selfish, how can such a thing not be the first to be named?" Diaphragm

This confident answer came from the consciousness of Nesta, who was in charge of the body, and after stopping the dissuasion of the other witch doctors, he began to prepare for the start of the fire......

Soon after, a violent flash of fire emanated from the tail of the Nesarata, and the thrust of the fire gradually detached itself from the ground and flew straight up faster and faster.
