Fire Demon's Lair.
A group of snakemen were observing the movement above the swamp from a distance. Several looming shadows that were not clearly visible suddenly appeared on the water surface under the moonlight.
The shadow twisted and danced, occasionally cracking out a little spark, but it was extinguished in the blink of an eye.
This is the fire demon.
Snake people know that, no matter how quiet they are now, they have no sense of existence.
But as soon as they are stimulated, these fire demons will immediately transform into the most violent form, devouring everything that dares to get close to them.
"Why was the fire demon born in the swamp?" A snake man asked curiously.
"How do I know?" His companion didn't care. He just wanted to catch the Fire Demon. The origin of the Fire Demon was meaningless to him.
"Maybe there is something special here?" Some snake people also speculated.
Water and fire are two completely incompatible things, even the snake people know this.
Yet these two things, so polarizingly antagonistic, coexist harmoniously here.
They don't know how the fire demons were created, they don't know that the fire demons are called fire demons but they are made of a kind of gas, and they don't know the existence of fire elements.
"alright."
"The target is out."
"Quiet."
After accepting the lesson from the last time, this time the snake people prepared a more complete plan. They led the fire demon out of the jungle and then surrounded it.
Although the fire demon was belching fire in a rage, the fire kept attacking the snake-men who dared to approach it.
But it didn't take long before it was finally caught by the snake man.
Even after catching the first one, the snake people did not leave, but stayed and prepared to round up the second one.
After capturing three first-level small fire demons in a row, the second-level fire demons in the fire demon's lair became restless. At this time, the snake team began to return to the City of Life.
Unlike the last time I came back, this time everyone was laughing and laughing.
There are snake people who cast their expectant and longing eyes on the snake mother, Samos, hoping that they can be the one who signs the contract with the fire demon and become the most valued heir of the snake mother.
In the end, three snake men were selected based on their merits in capturing the fire demon.
Each one is a second-level powerful person, and their eyes look different from ordinary snake people.
Just like a gem, it can activate terrifying extraordinary power in the blink of an eye.
The ceremony of signing the contract was placed under the temple, and was personally presided over by the snake mother Themes. All the snake people were present.
More than a thousand people crowded in the square under the steps of the temple. The altar that was once located in the center of the square had long been swallowed underground by the giant monster. Except for the snake mother, no one among these snake people had ever seen the star that could exert abnormal power. Weird eyes.
However, while the contract ceremony was going on, the supreme being in the temple also heard the joyous sounds outside, and curiously stepped down from the throne.
There are crowds of people outside, and the City of Life at this moment feels like a civilized city.
And the Snake people rely on this city, and they really have a bit of a new civilization.
above the steps.
Snake mother Samos looked at her offspring and her growing tribe.
She is proud of the group she created.
Finally, she looked at the three most outstanding children and said enthusiastically.
"Today, you will make a contract with the Fire Demon under the temple."
"You will become the fire protectors of the snake people. You will be responsible for distributing food. You have the responsibility to protect your fellow tribesmen and..."
As he spoke, the crowd suddenly became quiet.
Everyone looked behind Snake Mother Samos, and then exclaimed together.
A figure walked out of the temple, overlooking the entire City of Life from a high place.
When the Mother of Life walked out of the temple, all the snake people saw boundless darkness coming from the sky.
Swallowing the earth and eroding the sky.
Their eyes were dim and they didn't see the little girl in front of the temple at all.
Instead, he saw a demon-like monster. A dark monster like a mountain came from the sky. Countless tentacles stretched out from the monster's body and reached into the sky.
Looking further, the monster opened its eyes.
Not one, not two.
Countless eyes opened simultaneously in the darkness, looking towards the world.
"Hiss."
Thousands of snake-men fainted, and many snake-men were so frightened that they curled up in a ball.
The snake people retreated in groups, and many of them let out ear-piercing screams.
Even the fire demons trapped in the stone jars became quiet one by one, not daring to make any move.
The snake mother Samos also felt the aura, and she turned back to look at the steps.
Then he made a sound of joy.
"god!"
"You're here."
All the snake people, whose consciousness was swallowed up by fear, finally realized that it was God.
The supreme master of life, the source and mother of all living things.
The snake people immediately crawled to the ground one by one, facing the God who created them.
Sally looked at the snake mother Samos at the bottom of the steps: "There are so many snake people so soon!"
Snake Mother Themes: "Everything comes from the great Mother of Life. It is precisely because of your protection and guidance that we can thrive so peacefully."
Mother of Life Sally looked at the weak creatures below, and then focused on the three snake men who were about to conclude a contract with the fire demon.
The three snake men didn't dare to raise their heads.
Before, the God in their imagination was benevolent and gave them everything.
But at this moment, they also see another side of God, which is a horror that can destroy the world in their eyes, although the world in their eyes is probably this giant island of Ruhe.
Creation or destruction is just a matter of God's thoughts.
Under the attention of the gods, the ritual turns into a show of madness and piety.
Witnessing the existence of the gods with their own eyes, these snake people twisted like crazy and offered their dances to the gods.
A raging fire was lit in the square, and everyone sang and danced around the fire, praising the great god.
Finally, the snake mother Themes offered a sacrifice to the mother of life Sally, and the ceremony came to an end.
The snake men who came forward cheered at the same time: "Thank you for the gift of the gods."
Three second-level snake-human powerful persons concluded a contract with the Fire Demon under the temple, and the snake-human race had its first job title and title of powerful person.
Fire Keeper.
-----------------------
Temple of Life.
At the call of the god, the snake mother Samos came to the temple.
"O great master of life!"
"Is it an oracle that has come down to you when you summoned your humble servant Themes?"
After seeing the scene of the snake people prospering and thousands of snake people performing dances to her, Sally also saw the rapid development and potential of the snake people.
Sally has rarely become serious recently, and she has really begun to think about the future of the Snake Tribe.
She also read a lot of books about the Sanye people and their development history.
Sally's little face deliberately became serious, and she pretended to be very serious and asked the snake mother, Samos.
"The Snake Man has the Fire Keeper, and you delegated the rights to your three children, and they all did a good job."
"But what are your plans next?"
"Do you feel like you've lit the torch of civilization?"
Sally closed the book in her hand, and the word "torch of civilization" was also seen in the book.
Snake Mother Themos looked up at the Mother of Life, pondering those five words.
"The torch of civilization?"
Samos thought seriously. She had been very busy recently, busy with various chores.
After all, the group of snake people is getting bigger and bigger, and many things have become more complicated.
but.
She really hadn't been thinking too seriously about the Snake Man's future recently.
Because they are currently growing rapidly, they have solved the food problem.
Except for the monster family, they have no natural enemies on this island.
This kind of life seems to be very good to Samos.
Samos could only tell the truth: "O Lord of life!"
"Under your protection, we enjoy abundant food and no longer have to worry about the intrusion of monsters."
"So we are currently exploring the ruins and want to find more magical props."
Sally pouted and shook her head at Sam.
He made a tut-tsk sound from his mouth. Although the sound was childish, it was completely different when the sound and dissatisfied attitude were expressed by a being like a god.
"O my servant!"
"You are indeed still far behind. Is this enough to satisfy you?"
"Did I create you just to curl up in my city of life and become pets under my protection?"
"If so, what do you mean to me?"
Sally glanced at Samus: "Or is it that your potential is only worthy of being a toy?"
Samos trembled after hearing this: "We will definitely work hard to satisfy the great master of life."
"Please believe in us, we will definitely be able to do better."
“Do it so that you can be favored by God.”
After Sally finished speaking, she opened the book at hand and took a look.
Her voice was full of confidence that she had anticipated everything, and she looked like an omniscient god holding a pearl of wisdom in her hand, but the way her eyes slightly turned toward the page betrayed her.
She told the snake mother Themes and told her her expectations for the snake people.
"You should go out of the city of life, build more villages and cities, and see a broader world."
"You seem to be reluctant to let your child leave you. This is not a good sign."
"Only by letting go can we have a broader world."
Snake mother Themos said worriedly: "But God!"
"Without the tribe, many snake people will not be able to survive."
"Not every snake man has hunting skills. Many parts of the Ruhe Island are still deserted, and there are monster lairs in many places. Stone demons and fire demons are wreaking havoc everywhere, and there are terrors like this winged demon in the sky. Monsters are hunting us."
"Once they leave the city, they simply cannot survive in the wilderness."
Sally turned another page of the book, this time revealing a picture of Archeopteryx.
The snake people don't know that this ancestor fish, which has been extinct for some time, is the ancestor of them and many known races in the world, and they don't know that their ancestors are just food raised by the three-leaf people.
Sally told her: "You can build villages and cities without hunting. The civilization of the previous era once raised Archeopteryx, and you can also raise livestock for food."
"In the last era, they also established food workshops to obtain food by cultivating seaweed and microorganisms. You can also find ways to cultivate plants for food."
What Sally said made the snake mother Samos fall into deep thought.
Many times, just a slight hint, a brilliant idea full of wisdom, can make a civilization awaken and prosper.
Snake Mother Themos became more and more excited as she thought about it.
yes!
Since we can hunt, why didn’t we think of breeding?
Snake mother Samos thought that they could not only breed in lakes and pools, but also breed other animals suitable for food on land, preferably a herbivorous creature.
At this time, Sally, the Mother of Life, once again issued oracles and decrees to her servants.
"The next step is for me to test you again."
"If you can bring back livestock suitable for breeding from the northwest continent, as well as plants suitable for livestock and your food."
"I will give you the third level of power. By then you will no longer be afraid of the Winged Demon and the Stone Demon. You can explore further and build your villages or even cities in the wilderness."
But recently, Sally has also noticed that the power of monsters is rapidly becoming stronger, and the speed of reproduction is also gradually accelerating.
Especially the winged demon race, this flying monster created by the second-generation truth sage Lan En, is far more dangerous than other monsters.
These monsters, whose bloodline can be traced back 200 million years ago, have broken the bottleneck that once bound them with the return of the Grail of God.
Some monsters have begun to slowly touch the power of the third-level curse seal, awakening the power of their ancestors.
The only difference is time.
It is estimated that the third level monsters will appear soon.
It was the first time Snake Mother Samos heard the term third level, but she knew that it must be a more powerful force.
"God!"
"What can third-level power do?"
Sally told her: "You will master the power of the divine brand and touch the true side of this world. That is the true power of the extraordinary."
Snake mother Samos yearned for it: "Your servant Samos will definitely complete your test and return with victory."
Samos was very sure when she said this, but she encountered the first problem immediately after leaving the Temple of Life.
She ordered people to start breeding in the lake on the giant island of Ruhe. They threw the fry and some captured water animals that were about to give birth to offspring and eggs into the lake, and started the first attempt.
To this end, Samos also established a stronghold by the lake.
In the future, a village or even a town will be born here.
Next, she was about to leave the Island of Trolls. She immediately discovered that this ocean was a chasm for her, and she would not be able to cross such a distant sea without the guidance of the Mother of Life.
Snake people Although snake people are amphibians, they are not suitable for going deep into the water for a long time, let alone the ocean. They are only suitable for living in lakes and swamps.
Their ability to survive underwater is far inferior to that of the Trileaf people, not to mention the existence of the people of the Demonic Abyss.
She looked at the vast ocean and knew that there was a continent and vibrant forests, swamps, and lakes on the other side.
But now the ocean has become a natural barrier for them.
"what can we do about it?"
Serpent Mother Themes was very distressed, but she could not seek help from the Mother of Life.
Because this is a test given to her by the gods.
However, within a few months, her problem was solved.
While the snake mother Themes was trying to make a tool to cross the ocean, a team of snake men discovered another relic item from the ground.
The several magical props they discovered these days were all manufactured in the God-Abandoned Era, and they were basically props of little use.
They couldn't figure out how to create magical props, so they could only collect them as a kind of treasure.
But this time it was different. The props they found were very large and looked completely different from the ones before.
It is nearly ten meters long.
Snake Mother Samos rushed to the scene immediately and saw a group of people using stone picks to dig out a dirty metal shelf from the picture.
The metal shelf was covered with something, and it shone brightly in the sunlight.
This is an extraordinary item condensed from the light of wish, and only the immortal light of wish can preserve it to this day.
If any of the Trileaf priests were here, they would probably recognize what this was on the spot.
"Wings of the Wind."
This is not a magical item, but a miraculous item, but no one among the current snake people can tell the difference between the two.
This is the Cup of God's reward for Lan En, the cloverleaf man, after he discovered the power of controlling the wind. It is the God's affirmation of Lan En.
Because the Law of Miracles itself was established by Insai.
Snake Mother Samos walked forward. After taking a look, she seemed to have discovered something special.
She got under the metal frame, and then grasped the sides of the frame like a Trefoil man used to control a hang glider.
When his hand touched the wind pattern on the metal frame, the light lit up layer by layer.
"Huh!" The tornado whipped up and swept hundreds of meters.
Dust and sand rose up, and the surrounding groups of snakemen were blown around.
When they opened their eyes, they saw the snake mother Themes flying into the sky on the wings of the wind.
Under the blue sky, she controlled a huge kite without strings and soared.
The snake people were shocked, and then a look of longing appeared on their faces.
They pointed to the sky and burst out shouting, their voices filled with excitement.
"It's flying! It's flying."
"These are wings, the same wings as the Winged Demon."
"With this we can also fly."
"Mother can fly now."
Under the sun, groups of snake men chased the figure of the snake mother, Samos, until she landed on the ground again.
"so amazing."
"This thing is so powerful, much more powerful than before."
"Mother, what does it feel like to fly?"
Snake mother Samos listened to the children's questions and recalled the feeling of flying in the sky before.
Looking down from a high place, the whole world becomes so small.
If we talk about feelings.
She suddenly thought of gods. Maybe that was how gods looked at the world.
The whole world was before her eyes, everything became so small, and all the forests, lakes, and valleys that she had previously thought were huge became insignificant.
The emergence of the miraculous prop Wind Controlling Wings allowed Snake Mother Themos to see the dawn of crossing the sea.
-------------------
Snake mother Themes took three snake men aboard the Wind Controlling Wings and set off from the City of Life driving this miraculous prop.
They ride the wind, they stand shoulder to shoulder with the clouds.
They encounter the Winged Demon.
However, this kind of monster that once looked extremely scary became no longer scary in front of the Wind Controlling Wings.
Groups of winged demons chased and intercepted the Wind Controlling Wings, but they could not catch up with Snake Mother Samos and the others, and could only watch them go away.
This made the snake mother Themes and her three children laugh heartily, completely dispelling the dark clouds that the terrifying monster like the Winged Demon hung over their heads.
The speed continued to increase, and soon they saw the coastline.
They finally crossed the giant island of Ruh and arrived at the distant continent.
This place is like another world to them.
"There really is another continent." The snake man who had just landed on the continent was extremely shocked.
"It turns out that God and Mother were right. The place we are on is just an island." Even from above the sky and clouds, the edge of the forest cannot be seen.
"What's the difference between the island and the mainland?" asked the younger snake man.
"I don't know, maybe it's because the continent has no boundaries?" the older snake man answered.
"Is the continent really limitless?" However, the smaller snake man felt that this might not be the case.
The discussion ended quickly, and they began this mission under the arrangement of Snake Mother Themes.
They looked around and searched for all kinds of animals, including lizards and various beasts.
There are carnivores and there are herbivores.
They also collected a lot of plant seeds to take back.
They hope that there will be such a forest on the giant island of Ruhe, with all kinds of trees and countless groups of life living in the jungle.
They even caught a lot of larvae and put them in jars.
After spending a few days, they explored the east side of the forest and met again on the coast.
After the snake people communicated with each other, they discussed samples suitable for raising livestock.
Then everyone goes to see the lairs of these races.
"This won't work."
"That's okay."
"This needs to be protected."
It took more than half a month to finally complete the screening.
The snake mother Samos finally selected several herbivorous reptiles, locked them in stone cages, and brought their eggs back.
One of the animals with two teeth in its mouth was her favorite, and she thought it was the most suitable specimen for breeding as livestock.
They observed that this is a beast that reproduces and grows very quickly. It is good at digging caves and is not picky about what it eats.
"With these."
"We no longer have to worry about running out of food."
Snake mother Themes said happily, and the other three snake people also laughed together.
After saying that, Snake Mother Samos looked in the direction of Ruhe Giant Island.
She seemed to see a bright future for the snake people. They could obtain food through hunting, raising, and planting, and no longer had to worry about hunger.
They can have more children, and their group will grow larger and larger.
They will establish new colonies.
even.
Snake Mother Themes thought of the illusion that Tao Xun gave out when she first discovered the magical props.
Can they be like that great civilization, with such a magnificent city, and a civilization that is as brilliant as the sun?
At the same time, she is also looking forward to the reward given to her by the Mother of Life after completing the test of the gods.
-----------------------
The giant island of Ruhe.
Sally has gone deep into the ground at this moment. The city of life is just a crown on the head of the giant monster, a creation derived from the giant monster.
She was now following an ever-downward spiral staircase, deep into the center of the giant Ruhe Island.
She saw several parts of the Ruch monster's bodies here, including the magma pool of the Lava Monster, the tentacles of the Sailor Siren, and the fluorescent roots of the Moon Demon.
Part of the body of these monsters sensed Sally's arrival and waved towards her.
And in the center of this hollow is the former altar.
Sally stepped forward and flicked the Eye of Distortion.
The eyeball immediately burst out with a dazzling light. Sally found it very interesting and turned it hard.
The consciousness of the trolls is very weak, and most of their main consciousness is asleep.
They just sensed the arrival of their master and responded unconsciously.
Sally touched the roots of the Moon Demon Jue, hugged it and pressed her eyebrows against it to feel the Moon Demon Jue's emotions.
"Are you lonely too?"
"but."
"It's not time for you to wake up yet. You were arranged here by Yinsai. You must listen carefully to Yinsai!"
At this time, there was sudden movement from the Temple of Life at the top.
Sally raised her head and glanced, and the darkness behind her immediately surged up and swallowed her up.
In the blink of an eye, Sally appeared on the throne.
Below, the snake mother Samos, who had returned victoriously, was kneeling on the ground. There were several stone cages on the ground, which were the spoils of their trip.
Raising her hand, the stone cage surrounded by stone floated past her eyes.
Finally she nodded.
"very good."
"My servant."
"You have once again fulfilled my test and expectations, and I am very satisfied."
Sally stretched out her hand, and just like last time, the shadows of giant hands stretched out from the darkness.
One of them clicked on the forehead of the snake mother, Samos, and the symbols and light continued to flow, going deep into the snake mother's body.
Snake Mother Themos saw a shocking scene. She saw extremely powerful figures passing by in front of her eyes. They raised their hands to control the huge cursed seal spirits to exert the power to destroy cities and towns.
Snake Mother Samos became the third level.
In the tall temple, she summoned a giant statue.
But unlike the Three-Leaf Man, the Colossus she summoned had a human body and a snake's tail.
Just like the Trileaf people generally choose their own form when controlling the cursed spirit, because it is the form they are most familiar with and the easiest to control, the Snake Mother also chooses the form she is most familiar with.
Snake Mother Themes looked at the giant statue, and she felt that the other person seemed to be another one of herself.
Her perspective is divided into two.
One is the tiny self looking up at the colossus, and the other is the tall colossus looking at the short and fragile self.
She finally understood what the mother of life meant by real power. This power was already a qualitative change compared to the second level. No matter how many second levels there were, they could not be a third level opponent.
Mother of Life Sally looked at Samos' stunned expression: "My servant."
"And because of a little strength, you lost the direction of progress?"
As soon as these words came out, Snake Mother Samos immediately fell to the ground.
Together with the tall stone statue, they prostrate themselves in front of the gods.
All the so-called power in the mortal world has no meaning in front of gods.
"Your servants will always have only humility before the great Lord of life."
This is what Snake Mother Themos said, and this is what she thinks in her heart.
Sally leaned on the throne and put her chin in her hands.
Her green eyes blinked at Samos.
She didn't speak, and Snake Mother Themes didn't dare to guess what Sally was thinking.
Sally was thinking, anticipating.
"Grow up quickly!"
"Snake people, hurry up and multiply more tribes, pull the gods of creation from outside time and the world into this world, and let the real creator come to this world!"
Sally decided to go back and take another look. She needed to confirm whether what she had done was really useful.
"Let's go back!"
"Samus, I expect you to do better."
The snake mother slowly retreated in a crawling posture, carrying God's gift with her.
Next, the snake people changed again.
In addition to the hunting team, domestication teams and planting teams appeared. Snake people began to leave the City of Life and established villages and settlements around it.
There are villages that breed beasts, there are fishing villages that breed fish, there are observation points near the fire demon's lair, and there are groups of teams searching for and exploring ruins.
Like sparks, the snake people slowly scattered to every corner of the Ruhe Island.
Although the place they occupy now is still not worth mentioning for Ruhe Island, the range they can explore is only the tip of the iceberg in the northwest of Ruhe Island.
But it won't be long before they become a true civilization, one that is self-sufficient and thriving.
Even beyond the giant island of Luhe, there is a wider world.
at last.
Create their own miracles.
