Chapter 428 The Snake Man and the Golden Tree!

At night, near the volcanoes, the surroundings did not seem dark due to the continuous flow of magma. Instead, it seemed to be sprinkled with dark red moonlight. Not to mention that even if it was completely dark, Lu En had the ability to see in the dark.

At the edge of this dark red area, the magma had solidified strangely, and a large circle of trees with lush branches and leaves, dark skin like metal, and reflecting light grew densely, each of which seemed to be more than ten meters high.

Under these big trees, Lu En saw some buildings similar to shacks, all built by the branches and leaves of these big trees, and he felt dozens of thriving vitality in them.

Based on these shacks, it is naturally impossible to determine that they are intelligent species, but Lu En's keen eyesight saw that at the top of a big tree, there was a figure lying quietly, seemingly integrated with the tree.

Fine scales, a winding body, and a long tail wrapped around the tree trunk. Most people might think it was a big snake, but Lu En saw the creature's two strong arms embracing the tree trunk, and most importantly, the two metal spears on its back!

The two spears were more than two meters long, straight without any bends, with sharp triangular tips, flashing a chilling cold light.

There is no doubt that this was not naturally produced, but specially cast!

The neck of this creature was very soft, and it could even rotate 180 degrees. Looking at the back of its head, there were dense fangs and two black nostrils, and a pair of eyes looked around vigilantly, without any slack.

Lu En was also a little surprised and stopped far away.

Although Dak's description said that some intelligent creatures would indeed emerge in the inner world in the future, Dak had only heard of this news, and had no idea what they looked like or how many there were.

Lu En didn't expect that when he found the volcanic group, he also found these intelligent creatures living in the inner world!

To be honest, Luen had seen many monsters, but this was the first time he had seen a species with intelligence like humans, excluding the lizardmen he had met in the nightmare world, which were obviously from another world.

Luen suddenly became interested, but these creatures obviously also maintained the habit of being active during the day and hiding at night. Except for a sentinel, the others were all asleep. Luen had to wait until daytime to learn more.

Anyway, he was not in a hurry now, and finding extraordinary materials was not something that could be done overnight, so he simply found a cave and walked in casually.

"Roar!"

Just after taking a few steps in, a ferocious mouth fell from Luen's head, bringing a foul smell, and then the original owner of the cave seemed to be frozen in the air, unable to move.

"Manipulating space is indeed an absolute dimensionality reduction attack for those below the demigod level."

Without looking back, Lu En pounced down from the top of the cave, like a painting that was shaken violently. The surrounding space was distorted, and the next moment, it was scattered into fine powder.

The space was distorted, but it could be restored to its original state in an instant, but the creatures in this space were not so lucky.

In the early morning of the inner world, there were naturally no diligent roosters to crow, but the creatures living in it did not need to be reminded by others, and they had unparalleled alertness and biological clocks.

The creatures that were active at night found a safe place to hide themselves, while the creatures that were active during the day began their new day.

Among them were the intelligent creatures that Lu En temporarily named "snake people".

These creatures have long and flexible snake tails in the lower body, and the upper body is extremely strong. The overall height of the creatures is nearly three meters. If the tail is counted, it is estimated that it is more than five or six meters. They are absolutely giant creatures.

About fifty or sixty snakemen came out from the huts under the trees. Lu En thought they lived in the huts at first, but after careful observation, he found that they actually lived underground.

Those hut-like branches and leaves were just some random piles. When more than one snakeman came out, they broke the huts apart. The crashing sound was actually all similar to the sound of metal hitting!

That's right, this area of ​​trees that live near the volcanoes and look like black metal are actually all made of metal. They belong to extraordinary species!

So these tall trees were simply named "golden trees" by Lu En.

In a sense, these golden trees are also extraordinary materials, but the extraordinary factors contained in them are too rare, and they are not the materials Lu En is looking for.

Logically speaking, near such a huge volcano group, there should be no grass around, but not far from its periphery, there is a lush jungle, which grows extremely luxuriantly. Most of the credit for this should be attributed to these golden trees.

As the high-temperature magma flowed down from the crater, countless tree roots could be clearly seen passing through the golden tree forest. They took root in the magma, absorbing all the metal substances and even the heat in it. Before it flowed to the periphery, it formed solidified black rock.

This can only be said that the world is so big that there are all kinds of wonders. Even Lu En was amazed by this scene.

The first thing the snakemen did when they woke up was not to go deep into the jungle to hunt, but to come to these black rocks, smash them with tools, and then carry them and throw them into the nearby jungle.

Lu En felt that these snakemen seemed to be "feeding" this jungle.

Volcanic rocks contain rich elements and substances. After being decomposed by this jungle, there is no doubt that the plants will be more luxuriant, so that more creatures can be fed to ensure the hunting needs of these snakemen.

These snakemen are not weak. They have no legs in their lower body but snake tails, which greatly improves their speed. The speed of traveling through the jungle is simply dazzling. More importantly, they can use tools and hunt collectively.

These snakemen will use the branches and leaves of these golden trees, melt them again and cast them into various weapons. Most of them are spears. The force of throwing them is no less than the heavy crossbows in Lu En's impression, and they are also the kind used for siege.

A few stronger snakemen, however, wore simple armor on their upper bodies, held heavy hammers, and attacked their opponents with great strength. They were the undisputed rulers of this jungle.

However, relying on their unique conditions and possessing various metal-cast weapons, the social form of these snakemen was very primitive, a bit like the early primitive tribes, and they also adopted public ownership to distribute food. After observing for a morning, Lu En gradually lost interest.

But soon, something interesting happened.

After these snakemen had eaten and drunk enough, there was still a lot of food around them. Lu En originally thought that they were storing it as food for the future, but he didn't expect that these snakemen would take the food and move towards the source of the lava river. They didn't put down the food until they were close to a crater, and they crawled on the ground, making short syllables in their throats.

"Hiss!"

In less than half a minute, a similar louder sound suddenly appeared in Lu En's ears, followed by a huge head that suddenly poked out of the magma, staring at these snakemen, and swallowed the food into his mouth with a roll of his tongue.

This head was actually an even bigger snake man!
