Yuanjing died in a zombie siege during the apocalypse. To gain a chance at rebirth and rewrite his life,
Yuanjing agreed when the demon—oh, no, the system—offered him the opportunity.
...Chapter 199
It was really a pity that Yuan Jing died so early. Even the chief of the Mangrove Tribe died from injuries sustained in an attack by a fierce beast on the tribe.
The construction progress of the outer city of the orc city is not fast, but the tall and solid city walls are built first, and the buildings inside can be built slowly, and the city defense construction is also accelerated as soon as possible.
It took five or six years to build the outer city bit by bit. This was because more and more tribes came to defect in the last two years. As more and more people moved in, the news of the situation in the orc city spread farther and farther. Except for those who were too weak, no one froze to death or starved to death during the snowy season, and there was no need to worry about attacks by orcs.
After confirmation, those small and medium-sized tribes that were still on the sidelines could no longer wait, so they packed up their bags and headed for the orc city. They were afraid that if they arrived too late, the accommodation they were allocated would be worse, so when they arrived later they were almost scrambling to get in.
Although they were not used to some of the rules in the orc city after entering, in order not to be driven out, they suppressed their temper and changed their previous habits one by one. For example, they had to go to designated places to defecate. If they urinated or defecated anywhere, they would be kicked out of the orc city as long as they were caught three times. They were also not allowed to be naked, so those who were used to wearing little leather skirts had to endure and cover their whole bodies.
But when these habits slowly became ingrained in my bones, and I looked back at the past, I couldn't stand it anymore. If it weren't for these rules, the orc city would have been ruined beyond recognition by them.
When the outer city was completely built, there were still people who wanted to flee to the Orc city. Yuan Jing ordered to clear an area outside the Orc city to build a secondary city or a satellite city. At the same time, the sacred city jointly built by the Wolf Tribe, the Lion Tribe and the Feather Tribe was finally completed.
Even though Yuan Jing usually doesn't pay special attention to the situation over there, as the city lord, news is constantly sent to him. Compared with the plot in the story, this city called the Holy City is really hard to describe. Yuan Jing even thinks that the reason they named this city the Holy City is to suppress the orc city.
Unfortunately, the administrative authority in the city was not clearly defined, and the three tribes acted independently, resulting in a very chaotic situation in the city. It was almost the same as the original tribe, except that there were tall walls outside the tribe, which enclosed them inside. In fact, the orcs from the three tribes were very uncomfortable. Whether they were wolves, lions, or flying orcs, they were more accustomed to open areas that allowed them to run and fly as much as they wanted.
It was also because of these reasons that the construction of this city took a lot longer. In particular, since the people of their own tribe did not want to take action, they oppressed the people of other tribes and devoted themselves to building the city. When the snow season came, these small tribes did not have enough food, so how could they endure it? As a result, there were several cases of small tribes fleeing collectively during the construction of the city.
It's a pity that after the Holy City was built, those small and medium-sized tribes would rather participate in the construction of the secondary city of the Orc City and move in together after it was built, rather than flee to the Holy City, even if there was a place for them to live. The moral character of those three tribes had long been spread, so who would be so stupid as to run over and let them oppress them?
In the past, they were called the three major tribes, but how could they be called the big tribes now? They were all called the Wolf Tribe, the Lion Tribe, and the Feather Tribe.
The top leaders of these three tribes were very angry about this situation, but they could only be angry. They had mobilized all their forces back then, but when the three tribes united, they were defeated by the Orc City. Since that battle, the three tribes have never recovered. Now, with the passage of time, the strong have become stronger and the weak have become weaker. Even when the three tribes united, they no longer have the strength to fight against the Orc City. If the Orc City really wants to deal with them, they can just wipe them out with a wave of their hands.
Under such circumstances, not to mention that Xiong An Ning could have a good life, even the status and treatment of Shi Yang, Lang Tian and Yi Huang were declining year by year, and Hu Li and She Rui were even more so. Because the tiger tribe was severely oppressed, the people of the tiger tribe even resented Hu Li. If it weren't for him, they would have defected to the orc city long ago.
The three tribes couldn't deal with the orc city, nor could they suppress a tiger tribe? So they could only continue to live a frustrated life in the sacred city.
On this day, all the high-level totem warriors in the sacred city suddenly ran out from their resting places.
"You guys felt it too?"
"Yes, a very powerful aura is rising, even more powerful than that of a high-level totem warrior. Could it be..."
"That direction seems to be the location of the orc city."
"How is this possible? Our Orc Continent hasn't seen a Holy Warrior in many years. It's impossible!"
"Just go and take a look and you'll know."
The high-level totem warrior of the Feathered Clan flew out first. The others thought about it and decided to take a look first. Maybe it wasn’t the case. They held on to a one in ten thousand chance.
The orc city was very happy on this day. Many people knew that Captain Xiong Feng had been in seclusion for the past few days. Captain Xiong Feng had long become the strongest warrior under the city lord. It was because of this strength that he could become the captain of the first hunting team.
Now that Xiong Feng's team is in seclusion and breaking through, the other high-level totem warriors are very excited. If Xiong Feng can really break through and advance to the next legendary stage, then does it mean that they will also have a great chance of breaking through and advancing in the future? Just thinking about it makes them excited, so they are all eagerly looking forward to Xiong Feng's successful breakthrough.
When an aura that could crush them all spread from their retreat, they couldn't help but cheer, having successfully advanced.
So they couldn't wait to spread this great news throughout the orc city so that everyone could enjoy it together. As a result, the entire orc city was in an uproar.
The Bear Tribe eventually moved to the Orc City and lived in the outer city. Many people from the Bear Tribe died, but Xiong He was still alive, though he was much older than before. He was seriously injured when he came to the Orc City. It was Xiong Gu who came to see him and left him medicine, otherwise he would not have been able to hold on for long and would have returned to the arms of the Beast God.
"I never thought that Xiong Feng could get to this point and become a sacred warrior. The priest was really wrong at the beginning. It's a pity that Xiong Baibai didn't live to see this day." Xiong He is getting older and he likes to reminisce the past more and more. He still remembers that Xiong Feng was born to Xiong Baibai and then abandoned. Unfortunately, Xiong Baibai was injured and died in a battle. Two of her children are still alive, but they don't have the face to recognize Xiong Feng as their brother.
"We should be happy. We, the bear orcs, are not weak. We have Xiong Feng in front and Xiong Gu in the back. They are both powerful orcs who have come out of our bear tribe." The others were proud of it, but when they thought about the fact that these two were orcs who had been abandoned by the bear tribe, their happiness was somewhat dampened.
"The priest had very poor vision back then."
"Well, the priests have all returned to the embrace of the Beast God. There is no point in saying anything more. Now that Xiong Feng has been promoted to a holy warrior, the orc city will be safer, and we can all live a good life here."
It makes me happy to think this way. I don't have to worry about my tribesmen dying at any time. Those old orcs don't have to worry about being abandoned, because the orc city will never allow such a situation to happen. Here, they can live to old age.
Many people waited outside Xiong Feng's retreat room for him to come out, so that they could celebrate his promotion as soon as possible.
When the aura finally subsided, the door of the secluded house finally opened, and someone walked out... Oh, it was the city lord.
It's not surprising, not surprising at all. It's normal for the city lord to accompany Xiong Feng in seclusion. Everyone knows that this guy is the most attached to the city lord, and the city lord has always been very indulgent towards him.
When they were looking forward to Xiong Feng's appearance, they failed to see the tall figure.
Xiong Gu, however, shouted with sharp eyes: "City Lord, has Xiong Feng become a little kid?"
Because he found that Yuan Jing was holding a small panda, and the panda was lying in Yuan Jing's arms and sticking to it, just like Xiong Feng when he was still unable to transform into human form. He almost popped his eyes out of his head when he saw it.
But after hearing his words, the little panda became unhappy, stopped arching, turned around and pointed at Xiong Gu with his claws: "You are the little cub, your whole family are little cubs!"
"Xiong Feng?"
"team leader?!"
Everyone was stunned. Didn’t Xiong Feng advance to a holy warrior? Why did he become such a small one?
In order to prove that he was not a kid, Xiong Feng jumped out of Yuan Jing's arms, and then in front of everyone, his body continued to swell, getting bigger and bigger, until finally, everyone had to look up at him. Those who were cheering and celebrating outside also saw the upper body of the panda sticking out, which was Xiong Feng's animal form, so the cheers became louder.
Didn't you see such a huge size? That means Xiong Feng has really advanced, and his beast form has become even bigger. With such a big beast, even a city of orcs would be destroyed by one slap of its claws.
The high-level totem warriors of the three tribes who came to investigate the situation also saw the panda head sticking out. The one flying in the sky was so frightened that it fell down with a thud. It did not dare to fly up again, for fear that Xiong Feng would be unhappy and stretch out his claws to slap him, so it quickly flew back in despair.
It is certain that someone has advanced, and that person is Xiong Feng.
The oversized panda shook his head, pointed at Xiong Gu with his paw and said, "See, I am a little cub? Compared to me, you are the little cub now, haha."
Xiong Gu's forehead was full of black lines. This guy really had the ability to make people so angry that their teeth itched. Just wait and see. When he breaks through, he will definitely get back at me. I won't bother with him for the time being.
Yuan Jing also twitched his lips and patted the oversized panda: "Okay, you can take it back now." Then he explained to the others, "When you break through to this stage, you can also freely control the size of your beast form."
"Really? That's great."
So from that day on, whenever he was not working, Xiong Feng always liked to use his animal form. During the day, he turned into a small panda and nestled in Yuan Jing's arms, announcing to everyone that Yuan Yuan was his. At night, he turned into a big panda and let Yuan Jing nestle in his arms. When in the wild, he turned into an extra-large panda and let Yuan Yuan stay in his palm.
Of course, he still has to transform into human form when giving birth to a cub.
Because of Xiong Feng's breakthrough, the sacred city became increasingly unworthy of its name, and the three tribes became more honest, no longer daring to make any small moves against the orc city. They just hoped that Xiong Feng would not think about them, otherwise Xiong Feng alone could destroy their sacred city.
Some tribes even began to surrender to the Orc city in private, hoping that the city lord and Xiong Feng would be magnanimous and forgive their mistakes. If Yuan Jing and Xiong Feng agreed, they were willing to surrender the entire sacred city to the Orc city.
When the other two tribes discovered the tribe's secret actions, what could they do? They could only speed up and follow suit. If they fell behind, the orc city would be unhappy and take action against them. Because of this, they also expelled Xiong Anning and his party who lived in the city. After all, Xiong Anning had repeatedly tried to plot against the orc city lord, but he had never succeeded.
As for Yihuang and others, they had long been abandoned by them, and new heirs had already replaced them.
These people standing outside the sacred city, especially Xiong An Ning, would never have thought that they would be expelled one day. The other orcs had actually regretted being completely tied to Xiong An Ning's boat and had long wanted to get off, but they had no choice but to let others push them together, so they kept their distance from him.
When Yuan Jing received the news, he raised his eyebrows. Although this result was not intentional on his part, he was a little happy to see it, especially when he found that this group of people were heading away from the land. Yuan Jing thought, could it be that the plot wanted to bring Neng An Ning to the last little attacker?
Yuan Jing did not intend to incorporate the Holy City into the scope of the Orc City. He just copied the management measures of the Orc City and sent someone to the Holy City to let them follow them. He also sent people to teach them how to plant and raise animals. He actually did not have the idea of unifying the entire Orc Continent. If future generations wanted to do so, that would be their business, and he would not think it was a bad thing to have such ability.
After staying in the orc city for a long time, and knowing where Xiong An Ning was now, Yuan Jing wanted to go out and travel again. Xiong Feng happened to have the same idea, so Xiong Feng handed over his hunting team to the deputy captain, who was already a high-level totem warrior. Yuan Jing handed over the management of the city to the Elders' Council and the deputy city lord, and then he and Xiong Feng patted their butts and left, leaving in a very cool manner.
The main members of the Council of Elders are the priests and clan leaders of the tribes that joined the orc city. They did not let these people sit idle. Although Yuan Jing has left now, neither the deputy city lord nor the Council of Elders can change the rules and policies formulated by Yuan Jing.
"Alas, why did the city lord leave? I always feel a little uncomfortable when the city lord is not around."
"Yes, it just so happens that a new round of assessment is about to begin. The city lord is not here, and I am always worried that I haven't done my job well. After all, after the assessment, those who pass the test will be taught the cultivation method."
"Because the city lord is not here, we must keep a tight control on the pass, so that the city lord can rest assured."
The members of the Council of Elders unanimously agreed that they would select people to teach the skills based on the contribution points of the members who joined the Orc City. Of course, they were also practicing these skills and knew the benefits of them. The city lord was broad-minded and was willing to share these skills with more people.
After Yuan Jing and Xiong Feng left the orc city, they headed towards the sea. In fact, in recent years, the orc city and the sea people have had some exchanges and transactions. After all, everyone lives in different places and has a willingness to trade. If the sea people want items on land, they need to trade with people living on land. The rich resources in the ocean are also needed by the orc city.
But to the orc city, the sea creatures living in the ocean are still very mysterious and very little is known about them.
The two of them were not in a hurry, treating it as a picnic, and after they spotted Xiong Anning and his group, they slowly followed them.
"Hu Li's strength is only that of a primary totem warrior." Xiong Feng said happily.
Yuan Jing laughed. Didn't he know why Hu Li's strength declined? It was all because of this guy: "Yeah, he's too weak. He's not even good enough in our Orc city." Nowadays in the Orc city, it is very easy to become a junior totem warrior.
When they were almost at the beach, Yuan Jing's soul power discovered the figure of an orc. Yuan Jing became excited. Could it be that Xiong Anning's last little attacker had appeared? Didn't he come out just to watch the show?
Yuan Jing continued to observe, and sure enough, the power of the plot was very strong. The orc and Xiong An Ning and his group met. Yuan Jing and Xiong Feng watched closely.
Xiong Feng whispered, "This orc is from the sea tribe, right? He smells salty and fishy."
Yuan Jingzhi nodded: "Yes, he is from the Sea Clan, so he should be of high status. Look, he is already a high-level totem warrior."
In the past, they had to pay attention to the high-level totem warriors, but now neither of them took them seriously. Xiong Feng could break the body of the high-level totem warrior with just one slap.
Yuan Jing was not wrong. This sea orc was Xiong An Ning's last little attacker in the plot, named Cangli. Not long after Cangli came ashore, he met people on land and was very happy to ask them for news. However, Shiyang and others were very wary of Cangli who suddenly appeared in front of them, because they felt that the orc's aura was stronger than theirs.
"Hello, I want to ask you, how to get to that orc city, what does the mayor of your orc city look like? Is he really a subhuman?"
Xiong Anning looked at the orc and inexplicably felt that they should have some connection. But now he heard him asking about Bao Yuanjing, the subhuman, and he immediately became angry: "We don't know, we know nothing!"
Xanthium looked at the demi-human unhappily. What was wrong with this demi-human? He asked politely, but this demi-human was not polite at all. So he looked at the orcs around him and said, "What about you? Do you know?"
"They don't know either! I asked you what's going on, and I said I don't know, why are you still asking?" Xiong An Ning yelled. If it weren't for Leopard Yuanjing, he wouldn't have ended up in his current situation. He hated Leopard Yuanjing to death, so how could he take the initiative to tell others about him?
"An Ning!" Yi Huang scolded, what madness is going on?
Xiong An Ning felt even more aggrieved. He had suffered a lot following these people. These orcs were too useless. They couldn't even take care of him, a sub-human, and yet they got angry at him.
If they were not useless, how could they have brought themselves to this point?
Cangli sneered, waved his hand and slapped all these people away, then clapped his hands and left. He didn't want to say anything, just ask other people, there are actually orcs willing to support such a bad-tempered demi-human.
The force that Cangli used was not great, but Xiong Anning was in poor health and was still beaten to the point of spitting blood. He lay on the ground, feeling more and more aggrieved the more he thought about it, and burst into tears. In the past, Yihuang and the others would have run over to comfort him, but now they acted as if they didn't hear anything and got up and continued doing their own things. If it weren't for Xiong Anning, how could they have gotten in trouble for a high-level totem warrior?
Yuan Jing blinked. What kind of a development was this? Not only did this mermaid not like Xiong Anning, but he also beat him up when they first met? Could he still become a member of Xiong Anning's harem?
I guess it won’t work.
With the show gone, Yuan Jing had no interest in following Xiong Anning and the others anymore, nor was he interested in appearing in front of the orc, so he and Xiong Feng ran to the front. He wanted to eat seafood. There was so much food in the sea, so he planned to stay at the beach for a while and go back when he got tired of it.
Xiong Feng was even happier. That orc from the sea clan actually wanted to inquire about his Yuan Yuan. Of course he didn't want to meet him.
The two men went to the beach to eat seafood, made the acquaintance of many sea creatures, and played in the sea. They found many good things secretly under the noses of the sea creatures. The sea creatures could never catch them, and they knew they had met some masters, so they had to turn a blind eye.
When Cangli was still walking on land and finally found out the location of the orc city and went there, someone from the sea tribe finally found Yuan Jing and Xiong Feng. When they saw the person coming, they were a little surprised, because this person's strength was the same as Xiong Feng. Sure enough, the strength of the sea tribe was much stronger than the tribes on land. Fortunately, they only lived in the ocean, otherwise this orc continent would have been their world long ago.
The visitor did not dare to be careless, because Xiong Feng was of the same strength as him, but he could not see through Yuan Jing, the sub-human. Based on this, he guessed the identities of the two.
"I didn't expect that the mayor of the orc city and Captain Xiong Feng would be interested in our sea tribe. If we had known that you two were coming, our sea tribe would have come out to greet you long ago."
Their identities were exposed, but the two shameless guys didn't feel embarrassed at all. Yuan Jing waved his hand and said, "We just ran out to have fun. Are you the chief of the sea tribe?"
"Yes, I am Cang Lei."
Cang Lei invited the two to visit the sea clan. The two brave ones were not afraid that the sea clan would do anything bad to them, so they followed them. During the visit, they reached an agreement with the sea clan that the orc city and the sea clan would jointly build a city to be managed by both parties. This city would be used for transactions and exchanges between the two parties.
Seeing that the orc city was becoming more and more powerful, the sea people were also willing to interact with them.
After reaching this agreement and sending the message back to the Orc City, the two men who had had enough fun in the Sea Clan patted their butts and left. The matter of building the city was left to the Elders' Council and the Deputy City Lord in the Orc City. So when these people received the message sent back by the City Lord, they didn't know what to say to express their feelings. Should they be happy or speechless?
They were still happy. Establishing a relationship with the sea tribe was what they had always wanted to do. They didn't expect that the city lord could achieve it by going out, and even build a city with them. What was speechless was that the city lord, why don't you come back? You just handed over such a big thing to them? They were afraid that they couldn't do it well.
But the news still needs to be shared with everyone, and the city lord's contribution needs to be publicized. So, when Cangli, who had just touched the orc city, heard that the city lord of the orc city was a guest of the sea tribe, and reached an agreement with the sea tribe to build a city and trade. So, why did he run so far? You know, the sea tribe will feel uncomfortable if they are away from the ocean.
Cangli ran back again. Of course, Yuan Jing and Xiong Feng had run away to who knows where, so he couldn't meet them.
Later, Yuan Jing and Xiong Feng would send messages back every once in a while, and it was not until ten years later that they returned to the Orc City for the first time. This time, Yuan Jing and Xiong Feng officially resigned and handed over the city lord to the deputy city lord who had been diligently managing the city. However, they stipulated the term of office and selection method of the city lord. After resigning, they patted their butts and left, leaving behind a map of the places they had visited over the years and the distribution of products.
This time they also heard about the situation of Xiong Anning and the orcs around him. Those orcs left Xiong Anning, and Xiong Anning found another orc, but she could not give birth to a cub, so she was abandoned again. She was finally frozen to death in a snowy season. As for the orcs in Shiyang, some died and some disappeared, and there was no good ending for them either.
Later, the intervals between their communications became longer and longer. Even if they came back once every ten or twenty years, they would return quietly, and sometimes they didn't even show up. The orc city became more and more prosperous under the management of successive city lords. After several decades, five sub-cities were built with the orc city as the center, and then they began to choose to build cities in more distant places.
In the central square of the Orc City, there are two tall statues, which were carefully carved by a group of orcs and sub-humans. They are of the founder and first lord of the Orc City, Bao Yuanjing, and the first warrior of the Orc City, Xiong Feng. Everyone who comes to the Orc City, whether they are orcs or sub-humans, will come to the central square to pay homage to these two people, hoping to get good luck from them.
Just as Yuan Jing had originally thought, after countless years, the Orc city still stood on this land. He and Xiong Feng were also figures that future generations must mention when studying this period of history. He led the Orc continent into a new historical stage and made remarkable achievements. Even though he later resigned as city lord, he still left the first map of the entire continent to the Orc continent, providing valuable experience for future generations to explore the entire continent.
