How to kill a frog (3)

Hot sun, clear skies, slow-flowing clouds.

Scratching scratching

A Lizardman was sitting on a rock and scratching his ass with his fingernails.

Since these animals are basically external warming animals, sunbathing is essential to keep their body warm.

Therefore, the Lizardmen must take some time per day to lie in a sunny place to light them.

This is why they do not go deep into the Abyss Terminal and set up their grounds in the shallows.

This is because if you move away from the sun, you cannot maintain your body temperature.

Scratching scratching scratching

Lizardman sat still and scratched between his toes.

A peaceful time.

Lying on top of a warm rock looks truly leisurely.

Scratch Scratch Scratch Scratch...

But... Something is a little weird.

How come you seem to scratch your body a little too much... .

Scratch Scratch Scratch Scratch Scratch/

Soon, the Lizardman raised his nails and started scratching his whole body like crazy.

Jjijik- jjijik-

Whenever Lizardman scratches his body with his fingernails, it comes with old scales.

The thin film is peeled off.

Like the egg shell between the whites of a boiled egg and the shell, fragments of the skin were pushing like dirt on the Lizardman's skin.

The Lizardman scraped his whole body with a mad pit, scraping the old scales and deteriorating films.

I scratched so hard that sometimes the flesh was dug and blood was oozing out.

However.

There was a part that could not be peeled off at the end.

It was snow.

The thin film on the eye rolls into the inside of the eyelid every time the eye blinks and clumps up like debris.

They rot under the hot heat and soon became pus and swollen.

[Shh!]

Lizardman scratched his eyes with his fingernails, but he couldn't peel off the fragments that had gone to the other side of the eyeball.

When the film rots, so does the eye.

The eyeball was filled with pus and swollen.

And those Lizardmen weren't one or two now.

[Crush!]

[Desha ahhhh!]

[Shy! Easy!]

On top of rocks, under ledges, in crypts or on the wasteland, the annoying beeping of the lizard men is noisy.

It's the sound of each other yelling at each other.

Secondly, the eyesight deteriorated drastically. All of the Lizardmen were in a state of sharp nerves due to the pain that rushed into the eyeball.

[Shh!]

All Lizardmen wandered in search of water.

When the humidity is high in the air or when you soak in a puddle, old scales, debris, and film will melt or peel off on your own.

However, some time ago, due to a fire, the humidity around it had been drastically lowered.

The surrounding area is all burnt, but there are only wood, bark-baked soil, and dried ashes.

I hurriedly search for the spring water, but the water level is very low because the fire is turned off.

I used too much water.

Huiing-

Only the dry wind blows from the other side of the wasteland.

There was no moisture.

Only the ashes that made the eyes spicy were mixed with the wind and fluttered.

[Shhhhhhhh!]

[Kii profit!]

Eventually, all of the Lizardmen got sick with snow.

Sometimes there were guys who couldn't straighten their fingers or toes.

Even this is an already completed body

It is the story of the adults who have.

The damage was even more severe in the case of fluid or subadult bodies that had not yet grown.

Young hatchlings had to lose their entire arms, legs, or tail, or pull out both eyes.

Lizardmen in the egg died without even breaking the egg shell.

In addition to the lack of simple drinking water,

For that reason, you need water.

It is also very desperately.

[Kyaah!]

[Shh!]

There were quarrels between Lizardmen in the villages.

Of course, it is a drinking water battle.

[Kreuk! Kreuk!]

A Lizardman ran toward a leather bag hanging in the air.

The sacks were hung under the branches like fruits.

It was like seeing a punching bag tied with a rope.

The large leather bag was filled with clear water.

Proud!

Lizardmen tore the leather sack and put his head in the water inside.

Gulp- gulp- gulp-

The water runs over the neck. At the same time, the whole body was wet.

The old film that had dried on the snow was blown off and peeled off, and the dead skin cells and old scales that had been rusted all over the body also fell off.

the problem is The head also fell off.

[Great... ]

Lizardman Man-in-law.

He didn't leave his cheeky men on his drinking water.

Shit!

Man In-jang grabbed the torso and head of his subordinates, separated them as they were, and wetted his body with hot blood.

[Easy profit!]

[Look!]

The other Lizardmen stared at all-in-one with the scales on the brink, but they didn't attack.

[Ahhhhhh!]

Cheoninjang and white chiefs came out of the crypt and threatened the general Lizardmen.

All of the Lizardmen elite warriors are taller and have sharper teeth and nails.

They breathe life into their lower classes to keep the water for the upper classes to drink.

The elite warriors who have no opponents within the tribe are in such a blatant combat posture, but there is no way they can share drinking water.

General Lizardmen turned around and moved away from the central plaza with drinking water.

Countless times, they look for self-help

I had to know.

Whether it is digging in the ground and soaking in a damp moist, or looking for a puddle filled with morning dew.

However, it was only a stopgap measure, and it could never be a fundamental countermeasure.

Drinking water was extremely scarce, and the humidity in the air was still getting lower and lower.

Ash powder left after the fire has passed

And the smoke has dried up all the moisture.

However

Nevertheless, the Lizardmen were holding on.

They are blind, their fingers and toes are deformed, and even their babies are dying, but they do not abandon the village.

The pride of an extremely upright Lizardman

The plant is still not broken.

Meanwhile.

Me and Drake were all watching the scene from a distance.

Drake admired as he watched the Lizardmen pluck their eyes.

"Oh my God, I think they have these weaknesses."

In fact, it is a situation that can be quite sympathetic to anyone who has ever raised pet reptiles.

If the humidity in the terrarium is not properly controlled with a spray, reptiles are likely to get eye disease or nodules.

Not only does the life span shorten due to extreme stress, but it also causes sudden death in severe cases.

Drake greatly admired my strategy of using the moisture and dry season.

"Most lizards are blind or their limbs are deformed. It's like getting angry."

He was half-colored and took arrows and irons.

In fact, even if you don't have a single toe, it's a big problem to run or walk.

Lizardmen wear it on the toe joint

Due to the dead skin cells or old scales, it will not be easy to make a distinctive sharp movement.

Not to mention the guys who became blind.

"I'll go and sweep. You did a good job bringing a lot of arrows."

Drake is on the verge of attacking the village of Lizardmen, crossing barriers and pillars, even right now.

But I reached out and held him back.

Calm down. There are still too many lizards."

is it? The actual combat force seems to have decreased a lot?"

"I have to think about the guys hiding in the crypt in search of moisture. And most of the elite warriors with more than a hundred seals are still alive.

"Wouldn't it be possible to catch it by using the characteristics of earthquakes or eddy currents?"

"If we do, we'll all be swept away by the soil?"

At my words, Drake paused.

Come to think of it, this is a steep slope

If you move quickly and then a landslide occurs, everyone is diving under that dark temple wall.

" Hmm. Then you can't run badly. Is there no choice but to reduce the number with arrows one by one? Since the egg hatch rate has been lowered and the survival rate of the fluids has fallen, it will not be difficult to annihilate it...

"It is, though. It will take a lot of arrows and it will take a long time."

"Yeah, you are right. Now, tell me what to do. You already have the next strategy

Could it be?"

Drake twinkled his eyes as he looked at me.

I nodded as if for granted.

"From now on, I plan to water them."

When he heard me, Drake looked embarrassed.

" What are you giving me now?"

water.

When I answered calmly, Drake raised his arms as if he couldn't understand the English at all.

"No, if I was going to give you water, why did you set it on fire? Give medicine after bottle?

What That's right, I'm giving you a bottle and a medicine."

Drake ponders something to himself with a serious expression.

"First set on fire, then moisture to dry, then water?"

Fire and dry season, snow disease, Lizardmen, and water. What is the correlation of all these things?

Drake, who was reasoning alone in his own way, asked as if he had come up with a mystery.

" Are you trying to poison all of the thirsty Lizardmen by poisoning the water? That's a genius idea!"

carbuncle? not really? Lizardmen are sensitive to Shin Kyung, so will they immediately detect poison that has entered the water? And it's not that 10,000 Lizardmen drink water at once. How can I get addicted one by one."

"Hmm . if so Yes that's it! It swirls the water and drowns it all! It is a one-shot strategy!"

Huh? Isn't that even? I told you. It is said that the characteristics of natural disasters such as eddy currents and earthquakes cannot be used. When the terrain is overwhelmed, a landslide occurs and everything is swept down the cliff."

o uh.."

The ambitious reasonings come up

Upon rebuttal, Drake was somewhat insulted.

I patted his shoulder a few times and opened his mouth.

Look Carefully. I will kill 10,000 lizards from now on in a very peaceful way."
