Chapter 144 143. Is your horn delicious?
Although the wall has been repaired, Lu Yu did not feel much more at ease.
In order to effectively defend against the enemy with the cover, the defenders must have at least the same strength as the enemy.
The gap between the lizardmen and the mushroom people... to describe it as the mushroom god, it is a bit big.
Lu Yu and Lu Lutis conceived several ways to deal with it.
Migrate with the mushroom people.
This plan can avoid the edge of the lizardmen, but no one can guarantee that the lizardmen will not kill the mushroom people.
Moreover, migration is not easy for the little mushrooms. If these slow-moving little guys are caught up, it will be a dead end.
Head-on confrontation.
This response method is also a bit difficult.
Lu Lutis can fight against the fifth-level opponent, but she can't protect more people.
Unless the lizardmen will have a thick fog every time they attack, the chances of winning are still very small.
Lu Yu had previously joked that the fog monster was a cute creature without field magic, and the fog monster gladly accepted this teasing and learned the term field magic.
After thinking about it, Lu Yu could only think of driving the tiger to swallow the wolf and... changing homes.
"Driving the tiger to swallow the wolf, this term is interesting. Do you want to find a race that can rival the lizardmen and let them meet?"
Lulutis quickly understood Lu Yu's intention, but she poured cold water on Lu Yu.
"We know nothing about the distribution of races in the Great Wetlands, and the Great Wetlands are very vast. If the lizardmen had not taken the initiative to show up, we would not have known of their existence."
"Now we want to find a second group of intelligent races that we don't know if they exist in the wetlands. It's really too difficult."
Lu Yu looked at Lulutis, hesitant to speak.
Lulutis noticed Lu Yu's gaze: "You seem to have something to say to me during this period."
"No, I haven't."
Lu Yu stood up: "I'll go see the mushrooms. Although migration is a little difficult, it is more reliable than the following methods."
Lulutis asked Sigrid, she asked: "Do you think Lu Yu is strange during this period?"
Sigrid shook her head.
Lulutis murmured: "Am I the only one who feels it?"
"Lulu, come and see the lizard, there is a lizard!"
The fog demon sitting on the wall shouted.
Lu Yu ran over immediately without putting down the small mushroom in his hand.
Following the direction pointed by the fog demon, Lu Yu saw a reddish-brown lizard approaching from the densely wooded area of the mushroom man's habitat.
"Is this a sneak attack?" Sigrid frowned, subconsciously preparing for battle.
However, Lulutis was sharp-eyed and saw the strange wooden board that the lizard man held under his armpit.
As he got closer and closer, the lizardman seemed to find himself being scrutinized. He stopped and put the wooden board on the ground, then spread his hands and slowly turned around, so that Lu Yu and others could clearly see that he was not carrying any weapons.
In order to reduce the vigilance of the crowd, the reddish-brown lizard even untied the shield that had been tied to his hands and put it on the ground.
This operation made Lu Yu and Lulutis look at each other in surprise.
"It seems that there is no malice..." Lulutis said.
Lu Yu, who never hesitated to speculate on the development of the situation with the greatest malice, touched his chin and climbed up the wall.
He pointed to the wooden board that the lizardman put on the ground with his finger, and then made a lifting gesture.
This action is easy to understand. The lizardman nodded repeatedly, and then raised the wooden board above his head.
But at the same time, the lizardman was also carefully looking around, as if he was alert to something.
This small action made Lu Yu suspicious. He followed the lizardman's line of sight and let the fog monster float out to check, but he didn't find anything there.
"Are there ambushes?" Lu Yu couldn't figure out the lizardman's intentions, so he decided to first confirm what the specially brought wooden board was.
The fog demon took the wooden board from the lizardman, but she didn't bring it into the wall, but stopped about fifty meters away from the wall.
Lulutis, who was physically strong, floated out. Just one glance made her head buzz.
In the chat room, Lulutis trembled and said, "This... This is..."
"What is it?" Lu Yu initially thought that Lulutis was ambushed, but when she spoke, it didn't seem like that.
"Words."
"Lizardman's?" Lu Yu was also a little shocked. Although he had long speculated that the current wisdom of the lizardman was enough to give birth to totems and pictures to pass on knowledge, the possibility of the birth of words was still the least likely in his guess.
"No, it's our writing..." Lulutis rolled up the stone slab with her tentacles, "It's the most common writing system on the Mera continent that I taught you."
Lu Yu's scalp tingled, and he subconsciously said: "This is impossible. If they can read those words, they can at least communicate with us to a certain extent, but everyone's language system is completely different!"
The thing that Lu Yu was most curious about before was why Yas and Gran used similar writing and language, and these languages were consistent with Professor Lulutis's own.
Assuming that they are quite far away from the Mera continent, then these civilizations that have risen in different regions should have their own writing and language, rather than using the same language.
In fact, although the pronunciation of the languages in the two regions of Yas and Gran is quite different from the language of the Mera continent taught by Professor Lulutis, Lu Yu was only told that the pronunciation was "strange" in daily communication, but it did not cause any inconvenience in communication.
Although the characters have changed to a certain extent, it does not hinder Lu Yu's understanding as a whole.
Lulutis was also unable to answer this question. After repeatedly asking for information about the Mera continent in vain, she was extremely puzzled.
The previous questions had already puzzled them. Now a lizard man holding a slate with familiar characters appeared in the wetland, and Lu Yu's brain was completely confused.
"These characters are very strange. Is it because he copied them?"
"Some seem to be broken in half, and some seem to be cut in the middle... and they are crooked and very ugly... There are also typos, and even the punctuation can't be broken."
Lulutis was like an elementary school teacher at this moment, flipping through the essays of a problem student, looking at the content full of errors and omissions, and having a headache.
"Qing, Ye, Yi, Wu, La..."
"What kind of typos are these? What on earth is he writing!"
Lulutis was going crazy, and her tentacles twisted irritably, like an octopus that had just been pulled out of the water and was struggling.
Lulutis turned the wooden board over.
"Hmm?"
She took a quick look, then looked up at the reddish-brown lizardman.
The lizardman had been secretly looking at Lu Yu, but he seemed to feel Lulutis's sight, shuddered, and immediately lowered his head after a sneaky glance.
"Is there any useful information on it?" Lu Yu couldn't see the wooden board, and asked anxiously, "It won't be all typos and nonsense, right?"
"I'll leave a gift here. This seal can't be broken until the day you reach the sixth level. There are ways to make you stronger and live better."
"I look forward to the day you open this gift."
Silence.
After a while, Sigrid opened her mouth wide, pointed in the direction of Lulutis, and said in surprise: "This means..."
Lu Yu's body was numb: "The Great Wetland was before this..."
Lulutis flew directly to the lizardman, and the reddish-brown lizardman was entangled by the tentacles before he could react, and was taken back to the habitat of the mushroom people.
The wooden board was passed between Lu Yu and Sigrid, and they both clearly saw the text on the board.
This is a message.
Lulutis said: "Before us, someone came to the Great Wetland. It seems that she not only stayed here for a while like us, but also got close to a certain race, and finally left a gift that can make you stronger."
What Lu Yu was most concerned about was who this person who came to the Great Wetland gave the gift to.
It can't be a lizardman, right?
Lu Yu looked up at the reddish-brown lizardman beside him, picked up the wooden board and pointed it, and then pointed it at him.
The reddish-brown lizardman seemed very confused and kept talking.
"Mist demon, come on, give him a whole life!" Lu Yu waved his hand.
The mist demon immediately transformed into a wooden board, and then transformed into a lizard man, tied together with ropes.
After various hints, the lizard man reacted and shook his head desperately.
The reddish-brown lizard man found a wooden stick and painted on the ground for a while, but the eyes of the onlookers were getting bigger and bigger.
They kept turning their heads and looked at the mushroom people behind them.
After the lizard man finished painting, he was afraid that Lu Yu would not understand, so he took the wooden board from the mist demon and placed it next to the pattern, indicating that this was the race related to these words.
The lizard man depicted a mushroom.
Sigrid covered her forehead: "I can't understand it. What he means is that these mushrooms behind us are the race that the human who came to the wetland gave gifts?"
"Then why are they still so bad?"
The mushroom people saw Sigrid talking to them, raised their hands, and jumped happily.
The lizardman found that Lu Yu and others were looking at the mushroom people behind him, shook his head at them, picked up a stick and drew a smaller mushroom next to it, then pointed at the portrait with one hand and the mushroom people with the other.
Now I understand.
"That is to say, the magician who came to the wetland before met another group of mushrooms here." Lulutis inferred.
"Not only that, the fact that she left such a message proves that she has paid a lot here, and it is even possible that what she did is similar to what we are doing for the mushrooms now."
Her expectation for those mushrooms was level six, and maybe there were already level four or even level five strong men among the mushrooms at that time.
"Wait a minute..." Lu Yu sorted out his thoughts and found something wrong.
"These messages are for that unknown mushroom group, so why do the lizardmen have records?"
In an instant, the fog demon, Sigrid, and Lulutis all looked at the lizardman.
What they thought of was surprisingly consistent.
The lizardmen slaughtered the mushroom tribe, occupied their territory, possessed their technology and knowledge, and finally passed these things down.
Surrounded by hostile eyes, the reddish-brown lizardman was a little uncomfortable. He retreated repeatedly and shook his head.
Lu Yu called the others.
"What I want to know now is, what does this lizard intend to do with this wooden board?"
"The previous lizardman came here to test, what about him?"
The red lizard, who was frightened by Sigrid and others, saw a spear nearby, quickly walked over and picked it up.
This act of holding a weapon instantly stimulated Sigrid. If the distance is sufficient, the lizard man can hurt the nearby mushroom man and Lu Yu with his strong physique.
"Stop!"
Sigrid, who had already made a gesture of kicking on the ground and rising violently, was stopped by Lu Yu.
The lizard man kept shaking his head.
He first pointed at himself, then leaned down to kiss the ground, pointed at himself again, and then broke the spear in his hand with force.
The mist demon recalled for a moment and said: "Huo Gu told me before that some intelligent races kiss the ground, which means that this event will be witnessed by the earth. It is a very pious way of praying."
Lulutis said: "What a coincidence, Rabbit told me the same thing."
"The earth bears witness, breaking the spear...The spear is a weapon...Now he tears open the scales and drips blood on the spear..."
With the lizard man's shaking head, Lu Yu basically understood what he wanted to convey.
"Does he want to tell us that he is not here to fight and does not want bloodshed?"
"From the current point of view, it should be like this." Lu Yu thought for a moment, "Sigrid, bandage him and let him rest first. I need to talk to Lulutis about something."
Red Shield, who was taken aside by Sigrid, was terrified. He could keenly feel that at a certain moment, these aliens had developed deep hostility towards him.
He immediately thought that there was a deviation in the information transmission, but there was really nothing he could do about this misunderstanding that required serious communication to resolve.
In order to prevent the situation from slipping into his unfavorable direction, he must quickly tell the foreigners in the most straightforward way that his arrival was not for malice, but for peace.
All he could think of was breaking the weapon and kissing the ground, which were the two best associations.
If the foreign race cannot understand, Red Shield can only accept its fate.
Fortunately, these aliens were not bad-tempered. After shaking their heads repeatedly, they seemed to understand what they meant.
In order not to be misunderstood, Hongdun tried not to move when being bandaged by the foreign women in front of him, so as not to offend them.
but…
Hongdun took the time to steal a glance at the horned foreign woman in front of him.
"This corner... is so sexy."
This luster, this length, this sharp and hard texture...
As he watched, Hongdun actually forgot that his eyes were so naked.
Fortunately, the other party had been busy bandaging himself, so he didn't notice his gaffe.
The mist demon floated to Sigrid: "This lizard man has been staring at your horn for a long time, and he is drooling... Is your horn delicious?"
Sigrid: "?"
