The Leopard Tribe is located under a rock wall. At first glance, the caves of various sizes look like cave dwellings, but are even simpler than cave dwellings.
The discerning orcs would hang a large piece of animal skin at the entrance of their cave to block the view of outsiders.
It was noon and the males had gone hunting, leaving only the females and the cubs.
The sun was shining brightly today and many females and cubs came out to bask in the sun.
Song Jinqiao also discovered that some females had small tattoo-like objects on their arms.
"What... is that?" She quietly pointed at the arm of a female passing by her and pulled Baidi.
Bai Di took a look and looked at Song Jinqiao thoughtfully: "Don't you know? Those are sun patterns. When a male and a female form a pair, those sun patterns will appear on the female's hand. This means that this male belongs to this female."
"Of course, males also have it, but it's a moon pattern. It's a reminder to others that this male already has a partner."
After Bai Di's explanation, Song Jinqiao discovered that the number of sun patterns on each female body was different. Some had two, some had three...
This means that these females have more than one male.
Baidi continued, "A female can have multiple males, but a male can only have one female. If a male is already paired with a female and then pairs up with another female, he will be attacked by the Moon Marks and die."
This is God's protection for the females in this world.
Compared to males who are born with powerful abilities, females who are powerless seem too weak. If a balance cannot be achieved, females in this world will sooner or later be on the weaker side.
"Of course, females can abandon males at will. When they use special means to remove the sun mark belonging to a male, the abandoned male will also be attacked by the moon mark. Those who can hold on will become stray beasts, and those who can't will die."
So in this world, the dangerous ones are not only the ferocious and unintelligent beasts, but also the stray beasts abandoned by their females.
Song Jinqiao was amazed by the magical setting of this world.
Some orcs around saw Baidi and Song Jinqiao, and stopped to watch. At the same time, they were also amazed at the appearance of Song Jinqiao and Baidi.
Bai Di has been coming and going in this tribe for three days, so the orcs in the tribe are almost familiar with him, but compared to Song Jinqiao brought by Bai Di, the orcs in the tribe are very curious and excited about her.
This is a female!
A rare female!
In the Orc Continent, females are very rare, and the female birth rate is really frighteningly low.
Females only go into heat once a year and can only give birth to one cub, and there can be several females in this cub.
Add to that uncertain acquired factors, such as danger and accidental death... and the rarity of females is further increased.
There are more than 500 orcs in the Leopard Tribe, of which there are only more than 20 females. This shows how precious females are. Therefore, the polyandry system in the world of beasts is also to solve this huge disparity in proportions.
But even so, many males cannot find a mate and end up living alone.
Song Jinqiao felt that the orcs' gazes on her were as if they wanted to tear her apart and eat her, making her feel a chill down her spine and her scalp tingling.
She couldn't help but hide behind Baidi.
However, Baidi really feels safe.
