"They all say you recognize the wrong person. Pannis covered his eyes with one hand, pretending that he couldn't see the other party, and the other party would not see him: "I'm not even thirty years old, how could you have seen me more than a hundred years ago, and you saw me being dragged around the lake by a ferocious fish, this is simply impossible, yes, you must be mistaken." ”

"Hiss, I see, haha. The old lizardman laughed heartily: "Yes, yes, I must have misremembered." Hiss, High Priest's child, hiss, are you and these human friends going home?

"I'm going home and hiss. Galantis shook his tail and replied, "I've been out for two years, and now I want to go home and see my mother, hiss, is my mother okay, nothing happened." ”

"Hey, you've grown up and can go to the outside world by yourself, you're such a great kid. The old lizardman's boat finally reached the shore, and the pale lizardman jumped off the boat with vigorous steps, patted Galantis on the head and said, "The high priest should be fine, I haven't heard of any discomfort in her, hiss, you know, people like the high priest, if there is any discomfort, most of the tribes should spread the word." Since there is no news in this regard, it means that the high priest is very good, so don't worry. ”

"Great, thank you uncle, hiss. Galantis hugged the old lizardman intimately, and quickly stuck out his tongue and said, "I can't wait to go home, hiss, my heart flutters when I think of my mother's dinner and my soft waterbed." ”

"Hurry home? hiss, let's take you for a ride. The old lizardman thought for a moment and said, "If you cross the lake, it won't take long anyway, hiss, so you can speed up a little." ”

"Doesn't it really affect your fishing? Galantis politely patted the old lizardman's leg with his tail, a unique way of expressing gratitude among the lizardmen: "Uncles and sisters, hiss, it's so much easier now, if you can cut over the edge of the lake." Sizzle, which can save at least more than two hours of travel time, hiss, and can also go around a muddy place that is very difficult to walk. Hiss, it takes a lot less effort. ”

"Well, if you pass through the lake, that fierce fish won't come out and make trouble. Pannis scratched his face and said embarrassedly, "I had a fight with it last night." Will it have any effect?"

"Hahahaha, hiss, no. The old lizardman laughed loudly: "It's playing with you, hiss, that fierce fish has lived in the Tears of God for a hundred years, and most of us fish hunters know it, hiss." Actually, it's smart, like a child, hissing, just a little naughty. You see it only plays with you. Hey, I guess I think you're more interesting, hahaha, so don't worry, it knows how to joke, hey, it won't capsize our ship. ”

"But I didn't think it was funny, I didn't want to play with it, I was just fishing. Pannis pursed his lips and muttered a few words. Only then was Catherine pressed, and together they bowed and thanked the old lizardman, and boarded several other small boats summoned by the old lizardman. The boats were driven by old lizardmen with pale scales, whose stamina had waned. It is inconvenient to go out for hunting activities, and he is unwilling to be idle in the tribe and simply accept the tribe's offerings, so he took the initiative to take on the work of fishing, which can be regarded as contributing to the life of the tribe.

The habits of the lizardmen tribe are interesting, and they are completely different from the other races in the Yara world. In the minds of most lizardmen, the concept of family does not exist. There is only the bond between tribes and blood relatives. In other words, there is almost no such relationship between husband and wife in the tribe, and the birth and raising of children is completely done by the female lizardmen alone, and the vast majority of lizardmen do not even know who their father is, only their mother. It doesn't matter if the female lizardfolk can't afford to raise their own children, because all the materials for raising the larvae and the necessary education for the larvae are provided by the tribe and there won't be much stress. Male lizardmen, on the other hand, are freer and do not need to raise offspring or maintain a family, but correspondingly, on the other hand, they need to raise everyone's offspring, because the materials for raising the juveniles are accumulated by all members of the tribe from hunting and production, and every cent of the material has their part, or even most of their contributions.

In addition to this, there is another price to be paid by male lizardmen. Because they don't need to bear responsibilities, they can't get the same rights, and in the lizardmen tribe, women are basically dominant, and male lizardmen don't have much say in the development of the tribe, and can live freely, but they can't influence the tribe's decision-making. In terms of the two most important aspects of medical care and sacrifice for the tribe, the person in charge of the sacrifice must be a female lizardman, and although there are both men and women in charge of medical care, there are also women who are also in charge.

As for the members of the tribe who have entered the aging stage, of course, they will not abandon them, the tribe will distribute the same materials to them as before, so that they can spend the last few decades comfortably, and some tribes even allocate more materials to the aging members than when they were young. And the kind lizard people, even in old age, are not willing to waste the tribe's supplies in idleness, they will always find a way to find some work within their ability to compensate the tribe for the consumption of them.

For the outside world, this unique habit is difficult to understand, or even unimaginable, but for the lizardfolk who live in a swamp for thousands of years, it is as normal as eating when they are hungry, and they have maintained this habit for generations, and they will continue to do so in the future.

The lake is very wide, and although it is cut along the corner of the lake, because the lake is too big, even if it is only cut through the corner, when the boat travels to the way, there is no shore in sight all around, only the turquoise water surrounds it, and the refreshing lake breeze blows in the face, driving away the tiredness of the early morning.

After all, these old lizardmen are experienced hunters, and even in the middle of the journey, they often suddenly thrust their boats into the lake with their rope poles, and there will always be a large fish struggling to be thrown onto the deck, and if someone's attack misses, it will attract a kind laugh from their companions.

Seven or eight small boats were moving smoothly, and the movement of the boats was barely felt when sitting on them, and except for Lina, who was still a little afraid of the large amount of deep water, the other girls had already begun to enjoy the comfortable journey.

There was a violent sound of water, and not far from the boat, a huge head poked out of the water, and a fish head alone was bigger than an adult. The appearance of the big fish is very fierce, the upper and lower teeth in the mouth are each covered with a row of fine and sharp fangs, the tip of the teeth is not only sharp, but also with a slight inward arc, like a barb, once bitten, unless a large piece of flesh is torn off, do not want to break free. There is also a short spine growing in the middle of the forehead of the big fish, the root of the short spine is thick, the tip is sharp, like the ramming angle of a ship, when swimming at high speed in the water, this short spine can destroy most small and medium-sized boats.

"Pannis, your old friend is here. Seeing the appearance of the huge fierce fish, Catherine quickly clenched the shield and sword beside her, this fierce fish is very strong, at least standing at the apex of legendary creatures, if you count its water combat power bonus, the combat ability can even be compared with some demigod creatures, if the battle really breaks out, not counting the combat power of Pannis, I am afraid it will fall into a bitter battle. Although she had begun to be vigilant, the knight girl was still very confident in her own strength, so she could calmly tease to Pannis: "Don't you plan to go down and talk to it? ”

"I don't want it. Pannis pursed his lips and shook his head and said, "I don't have any good memories with it, only a deep hatred, you see, it bared its teeth when it saw me, which shows how deep its hatred is for me." ”

"That's what people have to do. Catherine gave Pannis a blank look, raised her shield to keep her guard, and asked in a loud voice, "Do any of you know what it wants to do out of nowhere?"

"I don't know, hiss. The old lizardman at the front replied loudly across the lake, but there was no panic in his voice, as if it was not a carnivorous fish, but a child: "But you don't have to worry, hiss, he has no malicious intentions, hiss, if he wants to attack, he won't be out of the water first, hiss, don't take the initiative to attack him, then he will be really angry." ”

"I see. Catherine put away her one-handed sword, but still held the shield in her hand for safety: "I won't attack it, but if it does, I can only fight back." ”

However, Catherine's worries were a little redundant, the giant fierce fish did not attack, and after staring at everyone with dull eyes for a long time, it suddenly turned over in the water, made a large splash with the fish's tail, and splashed it on Pannis. This fierce fish is indeed very smart, it actually knows how to control its body, only make a splash but not make a big wave, and avoid the doom of the boat being overturned by the waves.

However, Pannis and Catherine, who were in the same boat, were more pitiful, and watched a curtain of water fall head-on, and after the curtain passed, the two of them were already soaking wet, and their clothes and hair were dripping down. The fish seemed to be glad that his prank had succeeded, and swam quickly into the distance, poking his head out of the lake from time to time and dangling it, like a child who had succeeded in making trouble and turned back to provoke while running away.

"Damn it. Pannis wiped the lake water from his face, gritted his teeth and said hatefully, "You wait, sooner or later one day I will make you into a grilled fish steak, you remember me, bastard." (To be continued.) )
