Chapter 620: Barracuda Man-3
"My great master, do you need to conquer this depleted and decaying fragment of the plane as your domain?"
"Yes, the shell carvings left by our ancestors say that some powerful spellcasters like to conquer some sub-planes to use as their private warehouses!"
The Barracuda Elder was originally a little puzzled, but he immediately suddenly understood, and resolutely said, "Then let us be your weapon and conquer this space for you!"
"Uh, no, no!"
"It's better to leave the matter of fighting and killing to my people!"
"You...... By the way, what's your name? You might as well tell me about this space first. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info”
Bai Yuxi sweated for a moment, and after quickly stopping his allegiance, the old fishman who was eager to behave: "Also, you don't need to call me master, just call me 'Moyin'." ”
Although it was clear that the old fishman's behavior was a gesture of goodwill for the continuation of the race, to show that they were useful to the loyalists, in case they were easily abandoned, but the title of "master" was too middle-of-the-road, and Bai Yuxi said that he could not accept it.
"Okay, great ink seal master!"
"Your will is the mission of your servant Picasso!"
"We, the Silver-scaled Snail family, have survived here for countless years. ”
"But because of the war with the shark-shaped fish-people, the tribes that were split into this space in the cataclysm back then, blue-tailed, silver-tailed, and green-scaled ......"
"Gradually, they all died out, only our Silver Scale Clan remained, the last two thousand or so clansmen, if it weren't for hundreds of years ago, when we saw the Kou Tao Fishmen extinct in the crazy blood sacrifice of the Shark Fishmen, in order to survive, we reached an offensive and defensive alliance with the Oka Fishmen. ”
The old fish-man still replied respectfully: "Relying on their powerful bloodspots, blood claws, and blood-fin warriors, maybe we would have been extinct long ago......
In the old fishman's indifferent narration, Bai Yuxi gradually understood how they survived with difficulty in this fragmented space.
Gifted in farming, they have the ability to feed themselves and the courage to defend their homeland, but they are always at a disadvantage in the battle against the Sharks.
If you compare the pike man to a "herbivorous fish".
Then the shark fishman is a "carnivorous fish" that is naturally predatory.
Originally, the number of pike fish people far exceeded that of shark fish people, and at one time there were as many as four or five tribes, tens of thousands of people.
But after years of war, they were gradually hunted and killed only the 2,000 people in front of them, completely losing the ability to fight against the shark-like fishmen.
And the shark fish people, these unproductive predators, have grown from dozens at the beginning to more than 5,000 now.
In order to survive, the Barracuda had to form an alliance with the giant group of the fishmen, the Loka Fishmen, in exchange for the protection of the opponent's armed forces at the cost of bearing the logistics of the other party...... That is, using the agricultural talents of the Barracuda Fishmen to grow food for each other to feed each other, while the Loka Fishmen are responsible for fighting the Shark Fishmen.
The huge Loka Fishmen are the largest of the Fishmen group.
Adult Loka fishmen are generally taller than 3 meters in size, covered in hard bone spurs and tough red skin like leather armor.
However, the Loka Fish-Man has a very peculiar trait, that is, they have no limit to their growth, and as they age, they will grow in size.
Four-meter, five-meter-tall Loka Fishmen also abound, it is said that the largest Loka Fishmen, that is, the patriarch of their clan, the most powerful blood-skull warrior, is more than seven meters high, can be called a giant among the fishmen, should be called "Giant Fishmen"!
But what is interesting is that the huge Loka fish people are "herbivorous" like elephants, feeding on kelp and seagrass.
And because of their low intelligence and lack of civilization, among the fish-man group, the Loka fish-people have always been considered the "barbarians" among the fish-people!
These big men with gentle and honest personalities can't even speak their native language "Aqua Language" well, and they are the most primitive of the fishmen.
However, in order to survive, the Loka fishmen, who did not like to fight, also began to learn to take up arms and help the barracuda people fight against the shark fishmen in exchange for feeding themselves.
However, with the deterioration of the environment in the debris space and the loss of the source of life, the Loka Fish-People have lost the ability to breed offspring.
The remaining 3,000 or so members are all powerful warriors who have survived the years of fighting, and there are no old and weak women and children.
In this case, if this is the case, they can already be labeled as "endangered creatures", belonging to an endangered race with one less dead and one less dead.
The same is true of the pike people, because of the lack of life origin, although their population has not lost the ability to reproduce, it has not been born for hundreds of years.
In order to continue the race, release the trace of life source that every living creature has.
Any barracuda man who has passed the prime of life and is beginning to enter the state of old age will take the initiative to participate in the "death sacrifice".
That is, in the war with the Shark Fishmen, kill as many Shark Fishmen as possible and then die, in order to release the life source in their own bodies, to provide for the newborns in gestation, so that they can be born successfully and do not die in the process of growth.
However, in the "Blood Sacrifice War" for the origin of thin life, they are unable to compete with the brutal shark-like fishmen after all, so that the number of the group is getting smaller and smaller.
Although the shark fishmen also face the problem of the scarcity of the origin of life, they have unique ethnic characteristics, not only can they hunt the fishmen of other races to seize the source of life, but even in their own group, they also adopt a cruel "elitist" cultivation method.
There is no old or weak among the Shark Fishmen, and once they start to descend from the peak of their lives, they will actively kill their own kind and eat them as food reserves!
At the same time, there are no weak women and children among the sharks, and once the hatchlings of the sharks hatch, they will parasitize on the mother's body, feeding on the mother's internal organs and flesh until the mother dies and breaks out, using the mother's corpse as food to grow to the point where they can survive on their own.
But even if they are successfully hatched, it does not mean that they will grow up smoothly.
Because there is no concept of parenting among the sharks, no one will take care of these young offspring.
Therefore, only one of the small sharks in a group of fish-people can grow up, while the others will become food for the brothers and sisters as they grow up!
