There is no name between the shell people, because they do not need this kind of thing to distinguish each other. The pheromone secreted by each shell man is subtly different in smell, which is more accurate than any reference. In the shell society, shell people will consciously store the same kind of pheromone they have communicated with, and release a small amount of them as a supplement when they need to mention the same kind in conversation with others. However, it is worth mentioning that the shell people never seem to have split up. Because they don''t need to worry about food, their society has been in a rather primitive structure. Therefore, in the original expression of shell people, there is no concept like "we, you". This concept came into being after they met fioni and fitis. It wasn''t until then, when shell people first met other creatures that they could communicate with, that they realized they needed a name for their own race. The "shell man", in fact, is not the name they immediately thought of, but a name fioni took for them after understanding the information sent by the shell people.


    That is to say, maybe one day in the future, when the shell people have more contact with other races, which leads to a change in their language and way of thinking, they may take another name for themselves. Just as elves don''t call themselves elves, and dwarfs never feel short, in the eyes of shell people, humans and other races without shells may be weird. But before that, a shell man was lucky enough to be the first person in his race to have an individual name.


    "Spine crown, are you sure we are in the right direction?" Ji Guan is the name of the shell people who led the way for Lothar. The name was given by Peggy because the shell man''s shell looked like a corolla made of thorns. Of course, no one except Peggy himself could identify with this association. However, considering that it was only a code name, everyone agreed to this naming method. Ji Guan himself was quite satisfied with the name. Although the witch explained to him for a long time what is a thorn and what is a corolla, he still liked it very much. In addition, after inquiry, there is no gender in the shell people. The reproduction of the shell people is provided by two shell people respectively as part of the raw materials for new life. In other words, shell people can be both mothers and fathers. In the words of witches, this phenomenon is not uncommon in marine animals, they call it hermaphroditism. Therefore, when "he" is used to refer to the crown of thorns, it is only because there is no proper title to refer to such an individual in the language of gender specific race.


    "Direction, right. Front, big, food. " The idea of thorn crown came back to Lothar''s mind, and the count nodded. In the shell people''s concept, the bones of giants were their food. Shell people will grind the huge bone, absorb the nutrients that can be involved in it, and then spit out the inorganic substances that cannot be digested. What kind of bone can be called "big" by the shell? That''s at least half the size of your pelvis. Before on the way, several people also saw a few scattered bones, but the thorn crown did not use big to describe those things.


    "Ask that guy, since it''s a large food, why he didn''t see the shell man''s body along the way. There are a lot of small bones that we saw just now." Said Karen, with a slight frown. She was right. Within the safety limits drawn by the salt line, there were a considerable number of shell man remains near almost every bone. And it''s curious, because if the shell people really feed on the giant''s skeleton, they''ll have enough time to eat up the miraculous skeleton. However, the fact is that the shell people did not really damage every bone. Although there were signs of gnawing on the bones along the way, the general shape was complete and abnormal. On the contrary, the bodies of shell people around them had been dead for a long time.


    It felt like the shell man on this bone was destroyed by some force, and then the bone recovered slowly like a creature. And when they asked about spiny crowns with this question, the latter also said that they did not know what happened to their compatriots on the bones. In addition to repairing the salt line, shell people rarely leave the bones they were born with.


    "His name is Ji Guan, not that guy." The count replied that he still liked the shell man, because from the message sent to him by the latter, there was no complex emotion in the hearts of these creatures, which was familiar to Lothar, but a simple and simple happiness. Garland curled her mouth and said that she would use the name of thorn crown next time. Then Lothar conveyed the witch''s question to the shell man on his shoulder. The reason why Lothar was asked to convey it was that the pheromone of shell people could not be spread too far, especially when the team kept moving forward.


    Ji Guan''s reply rarely appeared a little hesitation. Due to the special way of communication, the shell people''s tone in speaking had no room to hide, "I don''t know, communication is rare. Big food, edge. " The meaning of this may be interpreted as that the spine crown does not know the destination clearly, because the purpose of the team is located at the edge of the salt line protection zone. Judging from the route of Ji Guan leading the team forward, he should have planned to go to the nearby shell settlement to inquire about the situation ahead, but since those settlements disappeared for unknown reasons, naturally no one could provide further information.


    Lothar frowned a little. He thought that the state of the first few settlements was just a normal phenomenon. After all, before the team set out, the old shell man in the pelvic settlement asked them to investigate one thing, that is, the shell people could not reproduce. In principle, the reason for this kind of thing should appear in the shell people themselves, but the old shell people insist on asking the team to take over the Commission. At that time, several people just thought that this was his emergency treatment, and the team really needed a guide, so Karen agreed to come down first. But now thinking of the experience of the previous settlements, the count began to feel that there was a certain connection between the two things. And the bad hunch that this kind of conjecture brings, appeared more than once in the rat man plague period."Ji Guan said he didn''t know what was going on. But I think it''s better to be careful. " Lothar''s voice sank, and his partner, who had been with him for some time, knew that it was a sign of danger. Fioni and Peggy looked at each other, and the sea monster nodded. The palm of his hand was swinging close to his hilt to ensure that he could be pulled out to fight at any time. In such a slightly repressive atmosphere, a huge object gradually faded the shadow of its outer package and appeared in front of everyone.
