Orc Crystal

Chapter 31

"It's been so long since I've been back, why haven't I come here?" A person sitting in the middle of the main hall asked Wen Ted, putting down his things when he saw Wen Ted coming.

This is Wen Ted's father, the current chieftain.

In fact, the chief doesn't look old, and he still looks like a man in his prime. However, Wen Ted, who has often competed with his father since he was an adult, knows that his father's strength has gradually weakened in the past two years.

"The son just returned to the tribe and felt that nothing was wrong, so he didn't come to disturb his father." Wen Ted's tone was respectful, but also alienated.

"Heh..." The chief looked at his eldest son, whom he hadn't seen for several months, and then smiled. It was the kind of smile that a father indulges a child who makes mistakes, and then said, "I heard that you brought a female back?"

"Yeah." Wen Ted nodded.

"You haven't been interested in any females in the tribe for so long after you've grown up. Didn't you expect to meet one you're satisfied with after just going out for training?" The chief was curious.

The lifespan of orcs in this world is usually 150 years old, and the lifespan of females is relatively short, but it can reach about 120 years old.

Orcs go through six stages in their life, cub stage, growth stage, adult stage, prime stage, senility stage, and old age stage.

And the female is relatively simple, the young period, the growth period, the adult period, and the aging period.

The adulthood of females is relatively long, mainly because it is not so easy for females in this world to conceive. After pregnancy, the female body will become weaker and prone to miscarriage, and even if the child is born, the cubs are not so easy to feed. Therefore, for the sake of race The continuation of the continuation, the adult period of the female becomes longer, so as to have more time and opportunity to give birth to new generations.

Generally, orcs will start to estrus when they enter the middle and late stages of growth, and females will be able to produce desire/desire at about this time, and their bodies will gradually mature.

There are few females in this world, and orcs generally enter the long, even decades-long process of pursuing females during their growth period, and then try to find a mate and give birth to offspring before the end of their prime.

Wen Ted is now an adult, but since he was growing up, many tribal females have expressed their favor for him, but Wen Ted has always been fair to all females.

In the blink of an eye, more than ten years have passed, and Lord Chief is usually a little worried that Wen Ted is not active enough to treat females!Therefore, I am quite curious about the female brought back by Wen Ted this time.

Thinking of the little man who was carried into the Holy Land by him a moment ago, a warm color flashed in Wen Ted's eyes, and he replied: "He is fine..."

very good?

The female that Wen Ted can mention so tenderly...

"It seems that you like him very much, are you going to choose him as your partner?" The Chief asked with half-closed eyes.

"He belongs to me." Not just ready to choose, Wen Ted directly claimed his ownership.

"It belongs..." Wen Ted's resolute tone reminded the chief of something, and he stared at the gate for a while, then suddenly asked: "I heard that he is a female cub?"

"He is underage, but he will grow up soon." Thinking of the person who has changed a little after using white milk recently, Wen Ted worked hard to control himself to maintain a calm expression.

"Hehe, as long as you like it." The chieftain looked at the tall and strong son in front of the hall with a gentle expression.

Although the two are father and son, orcs are naturally insensitive to emotions and are not good at expressing them. Therefore, even if they are father and son, they usually don't communicate much.

So, after saying a few words, the two fell silent in unison.

Wen Ted stared at the stone pillars on the side of the hall, all he could think about was the little man lying in the holy place, waited for another 2 minutes, and seeing that his father seemed to be staring at something in a daze, he said: "Father, if... It's okay, I'll go down first."

"Uh……"

Wen Ted took the chief's voice as consent, and turned around to walk out.

"Wented, wait." The chief came back to his senses and called his son.

Wen Ted turned around, and his father took the initiative to call him tonight. At first he thought there was something wrong, but after seeing his father just asked a few words, he started to be in a daze. Wen Ted thought he had guessed wrong, but it seems that his guess Still right.

But... what would his father call him to talk about tonight?

"Do you know that El has gone to the periphery?" The chieftain turned the bone ring on his left hand.

"I know." Wen Ted nodded lightly.

"Then do you know why El is in a hurry to practice?" The chief looked at Wen Ted with a very calm look, as if this was just an ordinary question between father and son.

"...I know." Wen Ted replied with the same expressionless expression.

"Wented..." The Chief called out slowly and with a heavy tone, then paused, with a trace of hesitation on his face.

Wen Ted felt that today's father was a little abnormal. His first reaction was to think of the little man in the Holy Land, and he felt a little defensive in his heart, and said, "Father?"

"Wented, since you already have a selected female, I think... I want you not to participate in the chief competition next year, is that okay?" The chief was silent for a long time before he seemed to make up his mind to say this. .

Not to participate?

Wen Ted's muscles tensed for a moment, his eyes froze, and he asked in a deep voice, "Why?"

The chieftain noticed the change in his son's aura, his expression faded, and then he sighed helplessly, and said: "We have three major tribes in the Extreme West tribe, but almost no member of the Feiyu tribe has ever become a chieftain. The Leopard Clan and the Leopard Clan, in the current tribe, the Leopard Clan generation doesn’t have any powerful young orcs, but the Snake Clan’s most promising candidates are you and El, if you quit, El will definitely be the next chief.”

"...Why?" Wented asked again.

Just for El?

Father just to make El the chieftain?

Asked why by his eldest son again, the chief kept his back straight and slowly leaned back against the back of the chair before sighing, "Father just doesn't want you to be like me in the future."

same?

Wen Ted thought in his heart, how could it be the same!

Therefore, Wen Ted basically didn't hesitate much, just paused, then saluted his father, and said, "I'm sorry, father, I can't give up."

"why?"

It was the chief's turn to ask these three words. Before being rejected by Wen Ted, he never thought that he would be rejected by his eldest son.

"I must be chief."

Wen Ted's tone, rather than expressing his attitude and goals, is more like declaring an imminent fact with [-]% certainty.

"Oh, these two brothers..."

Seeing Wen Ted turn and leave, the chief who was about to abdicate sighed a long time.

※※※※※※※

Coming out of the chief's residence, Wen Ted was always a little restless, it seemed that it was because of his father's words, and he seemed to be worried about something else, so he rushed towards the Holy Land faster.

The closer he got to the holy place, the more Wen Ted felt that something was wrong. When he hurried in, he suddenly found that the little man who had fallen asleep peacefully when he left had disappeared.

For a moment... Wen Ted's mind was almost blown to a blank by the empty holy pool.

What about the little one?

So what about the obedient and clever little person who can be held in his arms with one hand?

It's just been away for a short while, where is the little man?

Where is the petite person who belongs to me, carefully takes care of, and carefully hides?

The little guy is so weak recently, he needs to be hugged and held by himself for everything, how could he disappear...

For a moment, Wen Ted felt that his mind was so confused that he was starting to lose consciousness, so he slapped his face hard a few times, forcing himself to calm down.

Tell yourself, don't panic, don't mess up, you must calm down, the little man still needs him to find it!

Telling himself so repeatedly, Wen Ted became a little more awake-although his hands were still clenched, and the hard nails almost pierced into his palms.

Sniffing the remaining breath in the air, Wen Ted must have been there after he left, and the breath seemed to be more than one person.

Wen Ted hated himself very much at this moment. He was usually so careful. Why did he suddenly feel relieved and careless today?

Fortunately, however, the scent left in the air indicated that the visitor was not male and not aggressive.

Looking carefully at the water pool, there is still wet ground on the ground that is not completely dry, which is probably the water mark when someone came into the water to take the little man away.

Then Wen Ted, who calmed down, further discovered the slight walking marks left by people on the ground.

Sure enough, it is not a male orc. Although the male is tall and heavy, every orc is agile. If a male finds a little person, he will definitely pay attention not to leave any traces when he leaves. The male orc can definitely do this.

This is the footprint left by the female, scattered, messy, and dense.Females are light in weight, but they cannot control their bodies, and they make noises and traces when walking.It's not like when males are hunting in the wild, they can almost slip over the ground as if they have no body.

Wen Ted fixed his eyes on the scattered footprints extending from the ground, and then firmly remembered the faint breath collected in the air, and tracked all the way.

the other side……

After Jiang Junlin was carried out of the holy land area by the two little guys, he left the white milk area, and his mind became clearer.

He wanted to yell, but first, while running while holding his little guy named Huo Ze, he also paid attention to covering his mouth, and second, Jiang Junlin still remembered that Wen Ted had been careful not to let himself touch the rest of the tribe .

Jiang Junlin always doubted that he was very different from people in this world, and whether he would be regarded as a different kind, so Wen Ted protected himself from being discovered.

With this concern, Jiang Junlin was a little too afraid to make any noise, and could only hope that Wen Ted would find him.

In the dark tribal camp, the two little fellows looked like thieves, looking for alleys that were not easy to be found, and ran behind the house.

Jiang Junlin thought, these two little guys are so proficient in their business, probably they have stepped on a lot before, otherwise it would be impossible to find the right way without pausing.Or it was naughty in the past, and this kind of sneaky thing was often done.

Huo Ze and Villier ran quickly for a while, and after half an hour, they slowed down panting.

"Huo, Huo Ze, boss, you're finally back." Wirrier rubbed the sweat on his forehead, and heaved a sigh of relief looking at a stone house dozens of meters away.

Huo Ze only nodded when he heard the words. Females are weak and weak, and juvenile females are even weaker. Although the person in his arms is light enough, Huo Ze felt his hands were so sore after holding him all the way, and he relied on one breath to support him. Otherwise, the person in his arms would definitely fall with him, so how dare he answer at this time.

"Do you want me to help you?" Verrier noticed the situation of Huo Ze, and looked at the person in Huo Ze's arms with twinkling eyes.

Think beautiful!

Huo Ze was very dissatisfied with Verrier's unyielding covetous behavior, so he simply ignored him and ran straight home.

The two met to go to the Holy Land together tonight. Verril lived in Huo Ze's house. When they went out, they left the door ajar, and they only opened it with a slight push when they came back.

Huo Ze exhausted his last ounce of strength, came to the door of his house, and was about to kick the door open with his feet, but unexpectedly the door was suddenly opened from the inside, and then he kicked empty and fell into the door.

"Yo, what are you doing? Huo Ze knows he's wrong, so he admits it when he enters the room?" The person who opened the door glanced aside with his hands in his hands, and watched Huo Ze fall to the ground without blinking.

It's over, it's over, I have to fall again.

Jiang Junlin tightly closed his eyes, still thinking in his heart, whether this fall will make it fall back to the earth?
