Chapter 19: The Crooked Evolutionary Tree
In front of Guo Sen was an ugly creature similar to the combination of humans and reptiles.
They had heads like enlarged lizards, bifurcated blood-red hyacinths that occasionally peeked out of their mouths full of sharp teeth, crocodile-like golden eyes, black pupils, delicate turquoise scales all over their bodies, and powerful tails dragging behind them, supporting the ground.
How to look at it, how ugly, terrifying, and peculiarly abnormal.
Guo Sen also discovered that the lizardmen have five fingers as sharp as razor blades, and there is a webbed film between the five fingers, and I am afraid that these guys are also good hands in the water.
In their hands were stone spears with sharp black stones and sticks tied together as weapons, and in their hands were shields made of several pieces of wood tied with ropes, which surprised Guo Sen.
Among them was a more burly and strong lizardman, who seemed to be the leader of the gang.
He hung a necklace made of feathers in front of him, and a diamond-shaped piece of wood was tied to the top of his head.
This can also be seen in the decoration on his body.
If it weren't for their appearance, they would be almost no different from humans.
Guo Sen looked at these burly lizardmen with well-developed limbs and a height of nearly two meters, and suddenly didn't know where to start complaining.
What's wrong with your evolutionary tree?
Ape humans didn't evolve, so how could such lizardmen pop out of thin air?
And there was a rudimentary civilization similar to the Stone Age?
What a fuss!
Could it be that the initial single-cell evolutionary intervention did something wrong?!
Guo Sen is constantly doubting himself.
For a while, he couldn't accept such a magical development.
After all, lizardmen or something, it's a bit too.
He couldn't imagine under what circumstances this cold-blooded animal could evolve into a humanoid form.
Unbeknownst to the lizardmen, though, a thing almost god-like, was speechless as to why they had created them.
The purpose of their arrival was to hunt down the small beasts, the saber-toothed beasts, who had just eaten their full meal and had not yet had time to return to their lair, and to kill them and bring them back to the tribe to replenish the food that was barely left.
The leader of the tribe brought with him more than a dozen of the best hunters in the tribe, almost all of them fully armed.
Saber-toothed beasts are fierce and fast, but they have good meat and teeth that make them tools, making them the best prey they can find right now.
"Start attacking!"
As the strongest lizardman in the tribe, the leader is the first to do whatever he does, and no one dares to disobey his orders.
With his command, more than a dozen hunters each raised their spears and shields in front of them.
The lizardmen who live in the forest all year round are well aware of the habits of saber-toothed beasts, and they will choose to fight back as soon as they are attacked by enemies!
Sure enough, the saber-toothed beasts who spotted the lizardman hunters flocked to the lizardmen who had already formed a queue almost like crazy!
"Hold on!" At the leader's command, the hunters shrank behind their shields almost simultaneously, creating a strong wall!
The sound of "boom" ...... violently sounded, and those shields were gradually deformed by the impact of the incomparably powerful force from the flesh and bones, and the rope used for fixing could not resist this force and gradually collapsed.
And the rope of a hunter's shield broke and fell apart!
"Bluff!" The saber-toothed beasts found a breakthrough and roared loudly!
They can't afford to let go of this opportunity!
The saber-toothed beasts that had been scattered before frantically poured into the gap in this formation, and their fangs and sharp claws immediately attacked the lizardman hunter whose shield had been destroyed!
Well-trained lizardmen aren't vegetarians either.
The lizardman with the broken shield rolled on the spot, dodged the attack, and the spear in his hand instantly stabbed out, directly piercing into the mouth of the saber-toothed beast that pounced on him first, and the force was so great that the tip of the spear even escaped out of his body!
At the same time, his companions also took him behind him.
"Kill, kill!!"
At this time, the leader took the lead, let go of his shield, and roared and rushed to the herd with a stone spear in his hand!
"Kill!"
The rest of the hunters followed, turning from defense to attack, clutching the spears in their hands and charging at the ferocious herd!
Flesh and blood splattered, screams and roars resounded across the battlefield!
The battle continued, with the lizardmen, armed with weapons and defensive shields, gaining the upper hand.
They don't fight on their own, but work together in pairs to deal with a saber-toothed beast, and wait until they have completely killed each other before attacking the next one.
From time to time, saber-toothed beasts fell to the ground, and lizardmen were not so struck by the sharp fangs or sharp claws of saber-toothed beasts that they fell to the ground in pools of blood.
The fierce battle lasted for a long time.
However, the final victory belongs to the lizardmen hunters.
The battle was over as soon as the leader stabbed his spear into the throat of the last saber-toothed beast.
A mist of blood fills the forest.
The weary leader supported his body with a shield and checked the casualties.
Two brave hunters died here, and the others were fortunate enough to suffer some minor injuries.
The carcasses of the saber-toothed beasts lay across the ground, and there were twenty-one of them.
The fruits of the hunt were almost abundant, and the meat of these saber-toothed beasts was enough to feed an entire tribe of a hundred people for a while.
However, the cost is also painful.
The leader held two of his fallen companions in his arms and roared loudly.
"Back to the tribe!!"
The rest of the lizardmen stabbed their spears into the air at the same time.
After a few moments, they began to clean up the battlefield, carrying the saber-toothed beasts behind their backs, and gradually departed from the area, until they completely disappeared into the depths of the forest.
Guo Sen witnessed the whole process of this battle.
He didn't expect that the lizardmen actually had something similar to language and could communicate with each other;
He also didn't expect that these lizardmen would be able to organize effective formations, practical tactics, and use their wisdom to hunt;
Unexpectedly, they could use tools to hunt wild beasts at minimal cost.
Guo Sen couldn't help but ponder.
How many thousands of years have passed in his previous slumber? How many things are you missing?
The dinosaurs on land became extinct, replaced by humanoids that looked like lizards......
Could it be that the dinosaurs eventually evolved towards miniaturization, and eventually evolved to walk upright like humans and form a civilization?
Guo Sen didn't understand a little.
What the hell is going on, the beings on their spheres, why is the evolutionary tree getting more and more crooked?
He only had to think that he would be dealing with these scaly lizardmen in the future, and he felt panicked.
The more Guo Sen thought about it, the more annoyed he became, but he was still curious about what kind of group the lizard people had created.
If these guys had such a high level of intelligence, would they be able to have a rudimentary civilization?
