Chapter 1161, Bakas
The death of leader Gluck plunged the entire lizardmen tribe into grief and anger.
As several days passed in a depressing atmosphere, the lizard people who had left their living place in the swamp rain forest began to have some troublesome problems.
The biggest problem is food!
As mentioned before, the abundant fish resources in the tributaries of the Yangtze River are the largest source of food for the lizard people to survive.
Now that they have escaped from the swamp rainforest, this food resource has naturally been cut off. This situation is simply making things worse for the current lizard people...
"let me out."
A hoarse voice sounded in the cave.
At this moment, Bakas, who was pale and in a state of embarrassment, was leaning against the cave with his hands and feet tied up.
But this was not because there was a rebellion.
In fact, Gluck has a high reputation among the lizard people, and his son Barkas also has high hopes. Although he has just grown up, the lizard people in the clan have already regarded him as the next leader.
Under this premise, the reason why the current situation occurred is because Backus was crazy and wanted to return to the swamp rainforest for revenge. The other lizard people had no choice but to prevent Backas from doing what he did.
If something stupid happens, we can only tie him up like this.
Similar to "let me out", the two lizardmen guarding outside the cave have heard it at least a hundred times in the past few days, but they obviously will not let me go.
The leader is already dead, how can they let the leader's son run back to die again?
After saying those four words, Bakas, who had not received a response for a long time, spoke again with an obviously hoarse voice...
"I have calmed down. I won't run back and die. Let me out."
The two lizardmen who heard this looked at each other for a while, and for a moment, they didn't know what to do.
Finally, he simply ran over and called Ganon, the lizardman who was currently in charge of the clan's affairs.
Ganon is the most powerful warrior in the clan second only to Gluck, and is also responsible for commanding the Velociraptor Cavalry.
In the past few days, Ganon has been very busy with the people's food problem. He didn't need to worry about this kind of thing before, but in the previous battle, the lizard man who was originally responsible for solving the food problem died at the hands of the fish man.
When he couldn't find a suitable candidate within a short period of time, he had no choice but to bite the bullet and take the job.
Now after hearing the report from his subordinates that Bacchus had calmed down, Ganon decisively went to the cave himself.
"Bakas, have you really calmed down?"
Ganon was really a little scared. What if this kid said he had figured it out, but turned around and ran to take revenge when they weren't paying attention? Then there would be a conflict, how should he explain to the dead leader?
Obviously aware of Ganon's concerns, Bacchus said in a weak but extremely calm tone...
"Uncle Ganon, I have really calmed down and will not be impulsive."
While speaking, Bakas took a breath and then spoke again...
"I'm running back now just to die. I can't avenge my father at all, so it makes no sense."
Speaking of this, Bakas obviously gritted his teeth, and a strong hatred flashed through his vermilion pupils.
"I'm not afraid of death, but I must die with value! I won't do anything stupid like dying in vain."
Feeling the strong obsession in Bakas's words, Ganon's mood was a little complicated.
But no matter what, Baccas in this state probably won't be impulsive anymore.
Thinking of this, Ganon pulled out the dagger from his waist and cut the hemp rope binding Bakas's hands and feet.
Bacchus did not stand up in a hurry, but slowly moved his limbs and joints, and asked Ganon at the same time...
"Uncle Ganon, the food in the clan is no longer enough, right?"
Ganon was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then nodded.
"Yes, at present, the food issue is a bit tricky."
In fact, no one told him about the lack of food, but Bacchus could guess it. As mentioned before, he was far smarter than the average lizard man.
"According to the current population of our lizard people, ordinary methods are useless."
"Bakas, is there anything you can do?"
Bakas is very smart, Ganon knew about this, and now that he heard Bakas mention this, there was a glimmer of hope on his face.
In response, Bakas nodded lightly.
"have."
"any solution?"
Ganon, whose face showed obvious joy, quickly asked.
Bakas, on the other hand, still looked calm.
"fish."
Ganon's expression froze when he heard this answer.
"Bakas, you..."
Ganon, who had just spoken and seemed to want to say something, finally sighed and spoke again...
"Those damn fishmen must be patrolling the entire river right now. Once we get close, they will find us!"
"Uncle Ganon, it is not an easy task to solve the food problem of so many tribesmen. From the current point of view, the only thing that has enough quantity to support our survival is fish. If it were replaced elsewhere, it would be impossible to find it at all.
Not that much food.”
Having said this, Bakas's voice paused, and a pair of scarlet pupils fell directly on Ganon.
"If we want to provide food for the whole clan, then this is the only way we can go. We have no other choice."
While speaking, Bakas stood up slowly and looked at Ganon who was about to speak, then raised his hand to interrupt what the other person had not said yet.
"Uncle Ganon, please listen to what I have to say first."
"Okay, you say."
At this moment, Ganon could clearly feel Bakas' calmness. In this calm state, Ganon really didn't think that Bakas would do anything stupid.
In this way, after spending two seconds to sort out his thoughts, Bakas spoke again...
"We want to go back, but we can't go back unprepared."
"Preparation? What preparations can we make? The focus is on the Hydra. Cook is seriously injured now and will not recover in a short time. Under this premise, if we cannot find a way to deal with the Hydra, then we
In the past, it would only lead to death!"
At the end of the sentence, there was a clear sense of powerlessness in Ganon's voice. This feeling of powerlessness was really too bad.
But Bakas shook his head.
"No, we have a choice, go find the guys who rescued the gray elves before."
"Looking for them? They are also our enemies!"
Ganon's voice was full of disbelief when he heard this.
But Bakas shook his head again.
"Enemies can sometimes become friends. The appearance of Hydra shows that the fishmen and dark elves in this sea area have joined forces, and the other party happens to have a problem with the dark elves."
Having said this, Bakas, who had been extremely calm, finally showed some emotional changes in his tone.
"Furthermore, according to the current strength of our lizardmen, how many years will it take to kill the fishmen and dark elves in revenge? We must use stronger power!"
