Chapter 45 Souvenirs of the Marsh Skull Tribe
The total population of lizard people is less than 100,000, scattered into more than 50 tribes of all sizes. Each tribe has a large hunting ground for food and daily necessities. Therefore, although the lives of lizard people are always in a relatively dangerous state, they will never worry about food and clothing. However, due to the large range of hunting grounds, the tribes are far apart. In addition to contacting the temple, there are very few direct connections between tribes, and many hunters are the most
Most of them have been to several nearby tribes, and people from far away don’t know each other, let alone the outside world. As for some large tribes, due to their large population and larger hunting grounds, the distance between tribes is farther. Even if a powerful hunter runs quickly, it often takes one or two days to reach the next tribe. The long distance also increases the chance of danger. Hunters who have not yet reached the Golden Level are easily unfortunate.
However, the Scrub Tribe and the Scale Armor Tribe did not have such concerns. Although these two tribes are both large tribes, the distance between tribes is only five or six hours away, and the range of the hunting ground mainly spreads to the other side, so the two tribes have more exchanges and closer relationships. If it weren't for their own ancestors to worship, the two tribes might have merged long ago. However, even if they were not merged in form, it was not much different from the merger. Children's education and hunting planning were carried out together. In the eyes of other tribes, it would be nothing wrong to say that they were the same tribe.
The two legendary hunters of the Swamp Skull Tribe were rejected, and the group of seven did not enjoy the first banquet after the hunting. The lizardmen made a living by hunting, and hunting was one of the most important affairs of a tribe. Once the large-scale hunting wins and obtains a large amount of meat, a ritual banquet will be held on the spot, or a small sacrifice, and the best prey is presented to the gods as a sacrifice to thank the hunting goddess Artemis for the blessing. The member who contributed the most outstandingly in the hunting can enjoy a hind leg of the sacrifice. This symbolizes the same seat as the gods and share the same prey together. For the lizardmen who worship Artemis, it is the supreme glory.
However, although this is the case in theory, those experienced and powerful hunter predecessors often give opportunities to their descendants and will not compete with those descendants. This has become a customary habit among the tribes of the Lizardman. Therefore, when Glennell of the Swamp Skull Tribe told everyone that he hoped that everyone could attend the banquet and symbolically share a hind leg together, although the old lizardman habitually did not express his intentions, Panis, who was familiar with the customs of the Lizardman, immediately guessed that the hunters were ready to give them the highest honor. After he explained to Catherine, Catherine refused without thinking. The reason for the Knight Girl was very sufficient. Even the Lizardman himself was unwilling to steal the glory of the younger generations. There were six outsiders on his side, and a demigod and a group of legends. It was too embarrassing to snatch the hunters from the Golden and Silver levels.
However, although her reason is sufficient, Glennell's reason is even more sufficient. The participation of the Adventure Group saved the lives of a large number of hunters. Obviously, no one's contribution can be compared with them. If this honor is not given to the Adventure Group and given to a hunter, it will no longer be honor but shame, and it will be a lifetime of shame. During the dispute, Panis simply suggested that Garantis was also anxious to go home to visit his mother. The earlier he went back, the better, so he would just make it up.
As a result, he didn't even attend the banquet and left and returned to the scale tribe. The old lizard man Glannel couldn't help but agree to everyone's departure. Before leaving, he gave his most precious fang to Catherine, the leader of the group, as a gift. The fangs were the teeth of the old hunter's first prey and had been with him for almost two hundred years. The old man used this as a return to the friendship of the adventure group, and Catherine had no reason to refuse, so he could only accept this souvenir.
Leaving the hunters' temporary residence and entering the hunting ground of the Swamp Skull Tribe. Since one hunt just ended, the large and medium-sized monsters in the area near the hunting ground disappeared. According to Garantis, now is the safest time in this area. This is true for other small monsters and weak tribe members. Apart from the danger of the environment, there is no need to worry about the ambush of the monsters. Because of the safety, small monsters in other areas of the hunting ground will migrate to the nearby areas. In less than a year, a large number of weak monsters or wild beasts will gather and reproduce in this area. The increased number can provide sufficient food for the beasts that migrated in, so that the number of beasts will also increase rapidly. Therefore, this hunting ground can quickly restore its previous vitality, and even the number of prey will exceed before the hunting.
"I really didn't expect that you would have planned so carefully." After listening to Garantis' introduction, Catherine exclaimed: "I always thought that hunters were just hunting at will, but I didn't expect that there would be such a complex plan for the hunting ground. I'm really sorry, I have always underestimated your race before."
"It's okay, we're all used to it." Garantis said indifferently: "There are also people who think we are barbarians, hissing, eating raw meat, living in the open air, and not wearing clothes, hissing, how is that possible, hahaha."
Katherine looked at the dress of the Lizardman lady and felt that at least there was nothing wrong with those people without clothes. The Lizardman had very little clothing. Whether it was men and women, there was only a sleeveless animal skin vest on the upper body and a very short animal skin skirt on the lower body. Of course, this was also related to their body structure and the hot environment. However, the Knight Girl was wisely not expressing her inner thoughts. She laughed a few times and changed the topic: "For this large hunt, hundreds of large monsters, there should be many edible parts. If stored for too long, will such hot weather not deteriorate? Even if it was smoked or marinated, it would not be possible to be left for too long."
"Shit, we have a unique way, hehe," Garantis said proudly: "Wrap the fresh meat tightly with Gilri skin, hiss, and then sink into the swamp. This is the unique method of preservation for the swamp. Hissing can keep the food from deteriorating for three years, and even the meat will not change much. Hissing is much better than the preservation method of your human beings."
