The lizardmen did not have fur and could not resist the cold, so they would hibernate during winter.
However, this winter, they could not sleep. The escaping pigmen harvested most of their food, and most of the lizardmen did not accumulate enough fat to survive this winter. Hunger forced them to wake up during winter to look for food.
However, looking at this strange world covered in snow, they did not know how to find food under the snow. Moreover, once they walked out of their warm nest, they would easily freeze to death.
As such, it was practically a disaster for the Lizard Race.
The chief gathered all of the adult lizard clansmen and gathered them together. All of them had their heads lowered and many of them were sobbing.
Now, their only choice was to sacrifice half of their people to help the other half survive this winter. The lizardmen lowered their heads. They were all hungry. They did not want to die.
However, the current situation made them desperate. They could only draw lots to decide who would survive.
At this time, a female lizardman whimpered. She ignored the other lizardmen who tried to stop her and crawled in front of the chief. She held a complete leaf in her hand. A broken leaf represented death, while a complete leaf represented survival.
In other words, she was one of the ones who could survive.
However, she sobbed and said, "Chief, give my chance to my child. I am willing to sacrifice for the tribe. Please let my child live no matter what."
Hearing this, the chief was silent. He closed his eyes and did not look at her.
"Children who are too young and weak will not be able to survive this winter. Many of us here are like you, we can't bear to part with our children. We all understand your feelings. However, this is related to the survival of our tribe. I cannot promise you, Esna. "
The chief said.
The lizardman named Esna knelt on the ground with a painful expression and shouted, "But this is his only descendant. If he did not lead the resistance, we would have starved to death."
Hearing this, the other lizardmen lowered their heads silently.
Tany, the hero of the lizardmen. His sacrifice drove away the pigmen in the village.
The sigh continued. Esna sobbed helplessly and silently compromised.
The chief shook his head. He stood up and looked at his people. Some of them lowered their heads and dared to look at him. Some of them had an understanding look. In front of them was a mat made of reed. There was a bone knife on the mat.
"Clansmen, no matter if you died today or survived, let's all drink this cup of wine! For the lizardmen! "
Saying this, the chief raised the cup. He opened his mouth and threw the cup into his mouth. The murky wine rushed into his mouth.
The other lizardmen also drank the wine. Then, they all picked up the bone knife and stabbed their throats.
However, at this time, a frozen lizardman stepped into the door.
"Chief! There is someone from the Ke Tu Tribe outside! "
His voice interrupted everyone in the room, but some lizardmen still made a move. Sharp bone blades pierced their throats, and they fell onto the mat with a plop. However, most of the lizardmen stopped. Their morale was no longer enough to support them.
The chief glared at the intruder and scolded, "Didn't I say you can't come in!"
However, the frozen lizardman trembled and said, "But! That Ke Tu Tribe member said he has something important to say. It is related to the survival of our lizardmen! "
Hearing this, the chief's eyes sharpened. "A mere Ke Tu Tribe dares to speak so arrogantly?"
Saying this, he led his people out of the room. They saw a rabbitman wearing thick clothes standing in the snow. A few lizardmen shivered in the cold beside him.
The hungry lizardmen drooled at the sight of the rabbit. The Ke Rabbit Clan was one of the weakest clans in the Ufa Great Forest. It wasn't uncommon for them to become food for other demon clans.
However, there was something wrong with this Ke Tu Tribe member. He was carrying a big bag and was wearing clothes that they had never seen before. Speaking of which, why did the rabbitmen wear clothes? They looked like humans.
Seeing this group of hungry lizardmen, the rabbitman instinctively felt fear. He knew what they were thinking. The other party's eyes were about to eat him.
"I am the messenger of the Ke Tu Tribe. I have come on the orders of our new master to negotiate with you. This is a little gift from us, please accept it."
Saying this, the rabbitman bent down and put down the bag. It was full of wheat, about thirty to forty kilograms.
Seeing the wheat, the lizardmen immediately drooled. However, their drool quickly turned to ice.
The chief was flabbergasted. What was the Ke Tu Tribe doing? Sending food to them? Didn't they need to find a way to survive this winter? Moreover, how could the wheat be so good?
He grabbed a handful of wheat. Although it was far from enough, it was enough for his people to survive the day.
Suddenly, he understood. The new master and long master were all excuses! The Ke Tu Tribe clearly wanted the lizardmen to deal with the pigmen! Yes! It must be like this!
The chief of the lizardmen suddenly hissed. He looked at the rabbitman and said, "Your Ke Tu Tribe and our lizardmen have never interacted. Why did you send someone to negotiate with us today? You even sent us a gift. Hehe, this really surprised me. "
Hearing this, the rabbitman swallowed his saliva. Hissing sounds could be heard all around him. This was the sound that the lizardmen made when they were threatening their enemies.
"This is an order from our new master. I am not sure either. He asked me to bring you a message."
"What message?"
The chief of the lizardmen asked. He was a little confused. How could this rabbitman be so bold? Normally, the Ke Tu Tribe members would run away when they saw that something was wrong. However, this rabbitman clearly heard their threats and still dared to stand in front of them and look them in the eye.
Strange, strange. It was too strange.
"Master said that if you want to save your tribe, send someone to our tribe. That's all."
After saying this, the rabbitman turned around and prepared to leave.
The chief of the lizardmen, who was confused, roared, "Stop! What is the meaning of this? "
Immediately, a few strong lizardmen blocked the rabbitman's path. They looked at him as if he was a prey.
The rabbitman bit down and suddenly raised his hand.
At this moment, whooshing sounds came from the snow. A dozen javelins flew from afar and hit the lizardmen's feet.
"Enemy!"
"Quickly hide!"
The lizardmen quickly scattered. The rabbitman turned around and looked at the chief of the lizardmen, saying, "If you want to know, come and see our master."
After saying this, he jumped high into the air and fell into the snow in the distance. After a while, he disappeared.
