Da Jiao and Da Bao rubbed against each other, and finally called out to Shu Yue, as if to tell her that the wound didn't hurt and they could play.
Shu Yue walked over and patted its head, praising it, "Da Jiao was really great today. He even helped us fight off the bad guys!"
When Da Jiao heard the compliment, he shook his neck proudly and said that next time he saw a bad guy, he would definitely gore him to death with his horns!
Seeing that his mother only praised Da Jiao and not him, Da Bao was dissatisfied and used his claws to hook the clothes on Shu Yue's arm...
Shu Yue chuckled, hugged the little dragon beast's head and kissed it, "Dabao, you were great today too, but you're still too young. Next time, try to bite off the bad guy's arm, okay?"
Dabao opened his mouth wide and roared, thinking that he should grind his teeth more to make them sharp and pointed!
But he was very happy in his heart because his mother praised him.
Shu Xin, who was listening in on the situation, felt ashamed. What kind of family could talk to their children like this?
"Yueyue, what happened today?"
Shu Yue told her about the attack today and added her own guesses, "I always feel like they're coming for me, but it could be an illusion. There are so many females, it doesn't make sense for them to target only me."
Shu Xin frowned and thought, "Do the fallen orcs often attack orcs who go out?"
Shu Yue shook her head. "I don't know about this either. Let's ask Wen Te when we get back."
“…”
The two outsiders have only been here for a year and rarely go out, so it would be strange if they could understand each other.
At noon, Wente came back to cook and said at the table, "Yueyue, we can't go out recently. The fallen orcs are probably lurking around our tribe, probably trying to steal the females. It's very dangerous outside."
Shu Yue knew the seriousness of the matter. "I understand. The wild vegetables we picked this time are enough to last for a while. It doesn't matter if we don't go out. But what are you going to do?"
Wen Te pondered for a moment and said, "I will lead people to search the area in the next two days. We will kill all the people we can, and drive them away if we can't kill them all."
Shu Xin asked the question in her heart, "Wente, how did the fallen orcs come about?"
Hearing this question, Shu Yue also looked at Wente in confusion. In the original owner's memory, she only knew that the fallen orcs were evil beings. They would treat females cruelly and would eat their own kind when they were extremely hungry, but she didn't know how they became fallen orcs.
Wen Te paused while eating the meat, as if he was thinking of something heavy, and couldn't help but sigh, "Didn't you notice?"
"What did you find?" the two sisters asked at the same time.
"Haven't you noticed? Young females give birth every few years at the latest, and young orcs give birth to at least two cubs at a time, yet there are still so few cubs in the tribe. Some couples even only have one child. Haven't you ever thought deeply about the reason?"
After he reminded them, the two sisters realized that something was wrong. Take Jiaojiao for example, she gave birth to two babies in one pregnancy. She is still young and can give birth to another baby if nothing goes wrong. Even if the next baby is a female, she will have three children.
Jiaojiao is not an exception, so why are there almost no families with three children in the tribe?
Shu Yue asked, "What's going on with Wen Te?"
Wente was no longer in the mood to eat. He put down the barbecue and said, "Aside from the cubs that died in accidents, most of the cubs are unable to transform. Orc cubs are born in beast form and take between three and five years to transform into human form. The earlier the transformation, the stronger the cub's talent. If it fails to transform within this period, it means it will never become an orc again."
