Since the 'shamelessness' of pretending to be human did not work, the next negotiations were not so verbose, and everyone was much more honest. After shouting, shaking heads, pondering, and exchanging ears, a long-term supply contract was reached with which both parties were basically satisfied. The snake people still have time to sell some other local products to Donghezi. Some cured meat of a large puffer guagua pig, some rare jade, some black magic raw materials that I got out of nowhere, and some crushed crystals that look like emeralds.

"They can be mixed with emeralds with special spells. The local tyrants enthusiastically introduced: "The inside is these broken crystals, and the outside is emeralds." Only make jewelry, not magic ingredients. Generally, the problem cannot be detected. We know you have a long way to trade, and these 'big' emeralds can be sold for a high price in distant places. ”

However, Dong Hezi found that these green shards were similar to some of the splinters seen in the ancient giants' fortresses in the sky, so he asked, "Where did these things come from?" and were they used for anything other than jewelry?" It's something that grows on some of the trees in the swamp. ”

"Crystals grow on the tree??" Dong Hezi and the others were very curious: "It can't grow in vain, right?" But the local tyrants just hissed and spit out snake letters and denied: "It seems to be of some use for the growth of trees, but it really doesn't have much use, maybe it can be used to worship the gods of nature." ”

Dong Hezi still decided to take a look. This time there was not only him, but also four or five Rokko guards riding their long-hoofed, bow-jawed wild boars, and strong takin. Along the way, they formed a long line of aerial teams and galloped towards the depths of the swamp. A few snake people, local tyrants and wizards used spells to grow dragon wings and flutter and fly. But the speed of flight is not as fast as that of the takin and the bow-jawed boar, and I don't know if their bodies are too heavily clothed or the dragon wings are too clumsy.

And the spirit birds accompanying the Rokko Divine Guards flew to the approximate location to search first. The Liujia Shenwei that Dong Hezi originally made can only choose one kind of cloud seal bird and beast as an animal companion per person, and if he chooses a beast mount, he can't choose a bird scout. However, the goddess Makelly seems to have asked her Rokko spirit guards to improve it again, so that they can train another 2~3 bird scouts, but the number is much less than the orthodox dozen.

But for a Rokko Divine Guard, there is both a highly mobile mount beast. It can also send out highly detectable bird scouts. Each person is like a wheeled armored vehicle with several drones, which can patrol and interfere for miles in a radius, greatly improving its combat capability. Then use the "release message" to greet your companions within a 5 to 10 mile radius, and you can always rush to dominate the territory and fight in groups. Rarely lose!

It's just a pity that there are not enough of them. Otherwise, the swamp of these snake people will not be able to stop the human invasion.

Of course. Even if there are enough of them, it will not be until the economic plant cultivation in this swamp becomes widely available.

Soon, a message of natural energy came from the east. It was a Rokko Guardian riding a short-horned swordbuck that spotted the crystals—under a few thick trees. From the roots and the trunks near the ground, long sharp green crystals stretched out, like sharp long swords and short knives surrounding each tree. The luster in the crystals shimmered green, which was strange. At first glance, I thought it was a big tree with magical power, or that the magic net was very active here, leading to this strange phenomenon.

But after everyone flew down and checked, it was exactly the same as those local tyrants and snake people said - just the surface of the donkey dung and eggs was shiny. It is useless to have energy but no energy, hardness and hardness, and flexibility and flexibility. It doesn't respond to all kinds of arcane, divine or natural spells that everyone casts, and it's a 'spell inertia' thing, and it is estimated that it can't even make ordinary magic raw materials.

When the snake people and tyrants continued to gush, "But their luster is indeed very beautiful. You have also seen it, it is completely comparable to high-grade emeralds! It can also be mixed in ~~~~ "Let's go to the next side of the Dong Hezi has another idea: If it's just ordinary things, then how can these things be hoarded in the ancient giant fortress in the sky?

——————————————————————————————————————

There was nothing but clouds and winds in the sky. Only the sea of clouds was pushed away by a huge and wide invisible force, and a tidal wave of disintegration occurred! It was like an invisible mountain running over the sea of clouds, and the momentum was magnificent!

And in this invisible mountain, it is very lively. There are not only the old beetle-like machines, the quirky golems, but also the new hordes of gnolls. Dressed in new, gilded armor, armed with sharp, smooth blades and even improvised staffs, they serve as guards in this invisible ancient fortress of the sky.

However, in the eyes of the dragonflies, they are completely here to cause trouble. Because they brought with them a lot of lice, spiders, cockroaches, worms, and even rats and little praying mantis! With so many 'little friends', it is impossible for all of the fortress's smart locks to be wiped out, so they let it go. The dragonflies that wander in it are much freer, and not only can they go to many places with a big grin, but they can even fly to the prison where the insect monster is held and talk to it. As long as it doesn't emit obvious spell energy, it won't touch the fortress alert system.

"You can't blame me for this. The dragonflies explained to the annoyed insect monster with a weak psychic communication: "Last time, he didn't let you out, not that I didn't let you out. He didn't use that scepter, and he couldn't cause energy confusion to destroy the prohibition on you. Don't worry, he'll have to use you sooner or later, and as soon as he moves that scepter, you'll be able to say goodbye to him. ”

"I thought you had forgotten our agreement!" the insect monster danced its hairy chelicerae angrily and anxiously: "I can't wait that long! Now you go and do something for me, and summon my servants the way I told you! Now there are many bugs here, and there are more beasts of all kinds, and the guards are not as strict as they used to be." Find a gap or corner to activate the summoning. ”

"It's difficult. The dragonflies replied, "The castle's magical intelligence has been activated by about 20%, although it is already loaded with a large number of gnolls and some lizardmen. There are many people. But your summoning spell is an otherworldly summon, and it will definitely trigger the magic alert when you open the spatial passage! As long as you are found once, you may not be able to come out in the future!"

"Less nonsense!" The insect monster that had been trapped for many days was very impatient: "There must be a forgotten corner in this!You should find out as soon as possible, and fulfill your promise as soon as possible, otherwise, you will be better in the future!!" Although its emotional intelligence and experience in handling things are too rough, Dong Hezi still decided to look for it first.

But before finding the Forgotten Corner, he found that the gnoll men of the brigade were holding honor guards and flags, rushing back and forth. There are even a few large lizardmen in gilded armor at the entrance of several passages as human flesh sets, looking strange as a pursuit of luxury.

It turned out that some strange guests had come to the castle - a few poorly dressed. To be precise, the snake man with a few pieces of decorative cloth entered the "living room" separated by the partition. Immediately, the door was guarded by several mechanical beetles with green eyes, and the plastic energy scepter and magic crystal on their backs were full of glittering energy, and it was estimated that a fly flew over. It's a death too!

Fortunately, the 2 dragonflies have already turned into snails. Glued to a snake man's scales, he followed.

The meeting was beneficial. The two sides had extensive exchanges on territory, trade, war loans, and military employment cooperation, and reached partial consensus. The two sides expressed their respect for each other's interests in smuggling and clandestine trade in prohibited items. After the meeting, the two sides reached an agreement on a long-term war loan. Next, Grand Arcanist Summers is looking for mercenaries for the Serpents. Soon. He called up some knowledge from the materials in the ancient fortress, and then recited an unknown ancient spell in his mouth, connecting to a certain layer in the Shura world.

There was a flash of light in the middle of the large living room, and a terrifying figure from a three-story building with a strange appearance and a hideous golden armor appeared—a slightly humanoid but covered in dark golden metal snake scales, and a face like a golden titan and a super-large monster. The weirdest thing is that he has no arms, instead he has three real writhing vipers on the left and right! The color of the vipers is red, green or blue, and the colors of the vipers are different, and each snake spits letters and various energies such as ice and fire acid in its mouth. It's like six machine guns mounted on a snake-scale Titan, a battle maniac stance!

"The taste of this world~~~The taste of this world~~~" The six twisted snake arms of the letter greedily tasted the taste of the world, and the snake head on one of the snake arms spoke: "It's been tens of thousands of years! Hahaha~~~~"

His six snakemouths laughed together, as if they had seen a very funny scene, and then the seven snakemouths made a muddy but concussive sound together: "Is that pet calling me??Is it you?!" A snake arm pointed directly at Summers, and the head of the snake, which was bigger than the head of a crocodile, contained a strong acid energy like a dragon's breath!

Summers didn't even blink an eyelid, because the other party was just an illusion. Although it is very unpleasant to be called a pet by the other party, business always has to be discussed: "Venerable Rakshasa King, I invited you to come in line with the concept of win-win cooperation." If you are not satisfied, you can decline the cooperation. Moreover, the real object of your cooperation is them, the snake people who are related to you. ”

"!!" two hideous snake arms, spitting vicious flames and fierce lightning from their mouths: "I have nothing to do with these early pets, half a copper plate. I haven't held them accountable for imitating me!!!And your ignorance is astonishing that a pet like you can usurp its owner's property. Shit luck, that's you. Look what you've made your master's house look like!!Pets are pets, it's a mess!Tut~~~"

"Rakshasa King!!" Summers Super Arcanist raised the magic staff in his hand in annoyance, making a gesture of wanting to close the connection: "Do you want to end this meeting?" and the three-story Rakshasa King's neck has not spoken, and every time he opens his mouth, sparks of energy matter erupt from his mouth, like an ancient fire dragon crawling in the lava to speak: "I never thought about ending the meeting, just now it was just a hobby of some quarrels in my arms." Ignore them. ”

This attitude of 'I can despise you on my knees' really made the Grand Arcanist of Summers secretly breathe a sigh of anger, but fortunately, the other party showed a certain interest in those snake people: "Anger, greed, inflated ambition~~~ and ignorance, hehe, I was wrong, it's a devout god." You want to enslave a qiē??hahahaha~~~~ I like your indiscretion, because only then will you become extreme, and you will fight with all your might!!come! If you accept my gift, you will gain the power to fight!!"

"This~~~This~~~" Although the eyes of several snake messengers were surprised, there was some trepidation in their mouths: "This requires the approval of our great prophet~~~"

"Prophet?" the Rakshasa King was much clearer, "Is this the magic stick?" He waved one of his snake arms in the air, and he actually took an illusory half-cut snake figure, which looked like the sleeping inkthorn snake man. And the snake people here already feel that something is wrong: "First~~~ the soul of the prophet??" The soul of the prophet was actually pulled into the hands of this monster so lightly!

"Don't panic!!" Grand Arcanist Summers finally had a chance to show his wisdom, "It's an illusion of consciousness, and at most it's just a nightmare for your heads." The snake man who was a little settled in his heart sighed and replied loudly to the three-story snake-armed troll: "Yes, every qiē needs a prophet to make a choice!"

"Hahahaha~~~" The six-armed basilisk grinned, and the six snake arms entangled the illusory body of the Inkthorn Snake Man's consciousness together, opened his mouth, and let a terrifying snake head face him mouth to mouth, pouring something terrible boiling into it: "Then let him be my brave soldier first, for me~~~Ah!!What??"

The head of the snake burned!

The mighty Rakshasa King flicked his painful snake arm back and forth, his eyes flashing with several spells, but he couldn't stop the burning!

This scene amazed everyone, especially the serpent messengers: "Prophet, this is the power of the prophet!hiss~~~~ Great prophet!!You are with the power of creation!!" And Summers knew that the stick prophet had been possessed by something even more terrible. The Rakshasa King was about to retreat, and his five snake arms were already spitting snake letters, "Damn it, this is not a fight, this is ruining! It's not fun at all! Kill him now! Tear him apart from the ghost in him!"

"No!" the real head on the neck said something unexpected: "It's still okay to play." The power to destroy miè is not strong. But one of his snake arms erupted with flames interrupting him: "Don't be kidding!

"It's a challenge. The Rakshasa King, whose face was like a golden titan, replied with a smile: "If the challenge is successful, and I can play with it and control it, then I can become the greatest Rakshasa King!!" But the snake arms all shouted in opposition: "But if we play miscellaneous, we will finish playing!

"But I don't have a way to get promoted. The Venerable Rakshasa King, who was like a golden Titan, said: "Stay in my current position and wait for fate to defeat me? What is the difference between this and the end of the game?" When the six snake arms were silent together, the Rakshasa King made up his mind: "Endeavor is one of my cores, I should forge ahead!" Then he turned to the serpent messenger and said, "I will send someone to contact you and guide you to fight this war!"
