Chapter 76: Keeping Promises
The lead lizard kept its word, answering Erhes's questions with sincerity. It tells Erheth where the young people of the village are going. Most of those youths left the village to explore the planet that the Black Bolt had visited, a common occurrence in the history of the Green Lizard.
In order to survive, green lizards sometimes have to get out of their comfortable space early, get ahead of other species, quickly familiarize themselves with the changing external environment and obtain favorable materials from it, and quickly make technological progress in their own lives. This is to avoid being eliminated due to backward knowledge and technology in the competition for the survival of species.
But this time the situation was different, the young men did not return after leaving the people's village, some of them died unexpectedly in the process of exploring, and some of them did not, after discovering the greatness of the new world and the new species, and became obsessed with the place, and stayed there and never returned.
Erhes understood the reason for the scarcity of young people in the village, and commented on it. She thinks that such a situation is still common in human society, because it is like the young children of human villages who always yearn for the prosperity and excitement of the city, and choose to leave after getting tired of the simplicity and inconvenience of the countryside.
But...... Erhes pauses in thought. She looked up at the leader lizard, taking a closer look at its appearance, but no matter how much she studied, she couldn't tell that the lizardman in front of her was an old man. It's hard to say that when the lizardman gets old, it doesn't have loose skin like it looks like a human, otherwise why does it still look so strong.
Moreover, it is not the leader lizard that is a special case, the first village chief lizard to bow down to Erhes before is also unable to see the characteristics that humans will show when they age.
"No, we are indeed aging, please take a closer look at the skin that has not yet been covered. The texture of these skins is already rough and dry compared to when they were younger, and they are not strong enough to crack easily. This kind of hard skin will slow down our movement and increase our physical exertion. In the previous duel with you, as the time went on, my physical strength quickly ran out and I was defeated, and this is the biggest reason. ”
Erhes was so little surprised by the other that he observed the difference in what it was referring to...... Lizardmen are really interesting.
"By the way, there's one thing I've always been curious about. The long knives on your waists are very similar to the weapons that humans use, but I don't think those weapons were created by you when you came to this planet and began to imitate humans and learn from anthropology. This technique should have been learned much longer. ”
"Lord Shiva's guess is not wrong...... Hiss, in our investigation of the species on this planet, called humans, it is indeed recorded that humans are also using weapons similar to those we have. But we green lizards have known this knife technique for a long time, and it has been passed down to the present day through a long history, and we really didn't learn this technique from the humans of this planet. ”
"So was the origin of this technology created by the ancestors of the lizard people, or did you learn it from local species when you traveled to other planets in the past?"
"No, we've long forgotten where this technology came from. Moreover, this technology is deeply ingrained in our genes and becomes an innate talent, we don't really need the teaching of the lizard elders, we grow up to a certain stage, and we naturally master and show this technology. ”
