Orc Girl's Tribal Daily Life

Chapter 133 Crimson Wolf King

Jiang Luoluo and Xing's journey up the mountain was not peaceful.

In order not to go up the mountain to see the witch with her hair all messed up, Jiang Luoluo had no choice but to take out a hair tie and tie her hair into a small bun again.

Xing seems to have been inspired by the little tuft of hair on Jiang Luoluo's head, and she redesigned Jiang Luoluo's hair tie on the spot.

As a result, whenever someone passed by Jiang Luoluo, they would take a few extra glances at her new hair tie and then come up to ask Xing where they could get the same hair tie.

Jiang Luoluo felt like she had become Xing's walking billboard.

Fortunately, everyone had their own things to do. After asking a few questions and getting Xing's answer, they all went about their business without being delayed for too long.

Inside the wooden hut, the shaman was processing the leftover herbs, animal blood, and crimson bloodstone water from the sacrificial ritual. Since it was impossible to accurately determine how much each person would use, he had to make some extra to avoid running out.

It's better to have something left over than not enough.

Upon seeing Jiang Luoluo and Xing arrive, he simply asked them to wait aside first. After finishing his work, he waved to Jiang Luoluo to check on her condition.

Looking at the duckweed, the shaman shook his head at the cub, "You seem to get along well with everyone."

Although only Ge was responsible for taking care of the cub Luo, He had brought her to the mountain before, Mao had also brought her, and now Xing had also brought her. He was occasionally surprised by Luo's ability to get along with anyone.

If all the children in the tribe were as well-behaved as Luo.

Especially the one in Chief Jing's family...

"The recovery is going well." After checking, the shaman released the cub. "You can feel it yourself, can't you?"

Jiang Luoluo nodded. After waking up, the feeling of something missing in her throat had lessened considerably, proving that she was indeed recovering, and recovering very quickly.

"However, due to the corrosive effects of the smoke and toxicity, it will still have some impact on your speech in the future. You can continue to drink the herbal medicine I gave you before, as it will be good for protecting your voice."

Just as Jiang Luoluo had thought, the shaman had indeed only come for a follow-up examination. After giving her the necessary instructions, the shaman told Jiang Luoluo that she could leave.

Jiang Luoluo's gaze shifted for a moment, but she didn't move.

Wu looked up at the cub Luo, then at Xing beside him. As they walked up to the mountaintop, a thin layer of sweat appeared on Xing's forehead.

Obviously, they need to rest for a while before they have enough strength to go down the mountain.

Wu shook his head. "Alright, then you two shouldn't just stand around. Go and pick those Wind-Singing Grasses over there for me. Remove the flowers, just keep the leaves."

The tribe doesn't tolerate idlers, so Jiang Luoluo obediently went to work. Fearing that it might be inconvenient for Xing, she even carried the herb basket and placed it next to Xing.

Picking herbs is not a complicated task. The job that Wu Rang asked Jiang Luoluo to do was also the kind that was not dangerous and could be completed by repeating a few actions.

Jiang Luoluo kept her hands busy while her eyes were constantly watching what the shaman was doing.

In fact, Jiang Luoluo was very curious about the method by which the shaman awakened the beastman bloodline. It was something that obviously couldn't be explained by science, and no one would not be curious about it.

Perhaps Jiang Luoluo's gaze was too direct and too frequent, but Wu glanced at the cub whose face was filled with curiosity and began to explain.

"This is the blood of the Crimson Wolf King. The Fire Smoke Poison in your mouth comes from the Crimson Wolf King. This is their usual attack method."

"However, it's not that useful for our Frostfire tribe," the shaman added slowly.

Remembering how the shaman could manipulate the flames as easily as putting his hand into the fire, Jiang Luoluo nodded secretly. It was clear that the Yanshuang tribe had some knowledge of "fire control."

The Crimson Wolf King wields fire, as do the Frostfire Tribe. If the Crimson Wolf King uses fire against the Frostfire Tribe, its power will definitely be greatly reduced.

Wait a minute… Jiang Luoluo touched her throat. She woke up in the tribe, which was in chaos at the time. So, it was the Crimson Wolf King who attacked the tribe?

Jiang Luoluo thought of those giant beasts that were used as prey. Each of them was over ten meters tall. If such beasts could be hunted by the tribe, how powerful must the Crimson Blood Wolf King be to cause so many deaths and injuries to the tribe?

Also, why did the Crimson Wolf King attack the tribe... wait, the Crimson Wolf King's blood?

Is it possible to bleed an animal without killing it?

...It seems that bleeding an animal without killing it sounds even more cruel.

Then Jiang Luoluo realized something and suddenly looked up at Wu.

Wu nodded calmly, "The blood of the Crimson Wolf King was brought back by Ge."

After so much time, Wu didn't think that with the intelligence of the cub Luo, he would still not understand what happened back then. It's just that the cub didn't ask, so no one specifically told the cub about it.

But now that the cub has realized it itself, the witch doesn't mind telling the cub what happened back then—if the cub only learns about things from Go, it might misunderstand Go, just like Go did.

"Where should I begin?" Wu pondered for a moment.

Fortunately, there is still time, and he can explain in more detail so that the cub can understand what happened more clearly.

……

The reason why the Frostfire tribe awakened its orc bloodline is too long to know.

Even in the shaman's memories, there wasn't much information about the beginning. He only knew that in order to maintain the awakening of the orc bloodline, the tribe needed the blood of the "Crimson Wolf King".

Initially, they drank it directly, but those who awakened in this way often developed mental problems, lost their sense of identity as humans, and eventually became beasts.

Later, generation after generation of shamans experimented, and the people in the tribe used themselves as examples to develop a sufficiently safe "recipe" for future generations.

By mixing certain herbs and applying them as tattoos, and with the protection of fire, the tribe members can awaken their orc bloodline in the safest way, gaining the ability to transform into beasts.

The most difficult and troublesome part of this process is obtaining the blood of the Crimson Wolf King.

One Crimson Wolf King is only enough to awaken about one hundred to two hundred tribesmen, so every three to five years, the tribe needs to hunt the Crimson Wolf King.

The fact that the Crimson Wolf King could cause casualties to more than a dozen families in the tribe in a single ambush, including some of the tribe's most powerful orc warriors, shows that the Crimson Wolf King is an extremely powerful beast.

Every hunt targeting the Crimson Wolf King is extremely dangerous.

But what's most frustrating is that the more orc warriors there are in the tribe, the more Crimson Wolf King's blood is needed, and repeated hunting of the Crimson Wolf King will result in the sacrifice of even more orc warriors.

In his first year of awakening, Ge encountered a hunt targeting the Crimson Wolf King.

Of course, the tribe's original intention was simply to take Ge to broaden his horizons. His talent was different from that of ordinary tribesmen, and experiencing more would be a good thing for his growth.

There's no need to describe the situation at the time, since the tribe had already experienced even more dangerous situations. Obtaining the blood of the Crimson Wolf King was considered a successful hunt.

As a successful messenger, Ge, along with several other tribesmen, escorted the Crimson Wolf King's blood back to the tribe.

On the way, they encountered a wild beast attacking them. Considering that it was Go's first time hunting, several other tribesmen covered the rear while Go himself returned to the tribe with the blood of the Crimson Wolf King.

But no one expected that another Crimson Wolf King would follow the scent of blood, find the tribe, and even attack it.

In the eyes of Chief Jing and Wu, and even other tribesmen, this matter had nothing to do with Ge.

After all, even if it were anyone else who came back to deliver the Crimson Wolf King's blood, the result would be the same.

But for Ge, it wasn't that. It was because of the scent of the Crimson Wolf King's blood on him that the Crimson Wolf King attacked his home, causing the other members of his tribe to die as well.

It was his fault.

Goe didn't consider any other possibilities; he simply accepted the outcome and then condemned himself in his heart.
