"Sis, where do you live now? Can you block the sun during the day? Today, a female was very clever. She couldn't find a place to hide from the sun, so she dug a hole in the ground! Many factions followed her example, and it's really much cooler in the cave." Jin Lin admired the female very much and thought that if she knew who she was, she would definitely make friends with her. "If only I knew who that female was, it would be great. I heard that her cave is different from others. It's covered with wooden boards. Others don't have wooden boards, so they have to use animal skins to cover it."
Tu Ling glanced at her and said, "It's me."
"Oh, it's you. Ah! It's you!" Jin Lin's mouth dropped open in shock. "I was wondering how there could be such a smart female. Turns out it's me. No wonder."
Tu Ling: ....You are obviously shocked.
Tu Ling didn't want to continue this topic, so she asked another question: "What race are you from? Why don't you have any animal characteristics on your body?"
Tu Ling remembered that there was a person from the Tanyuan tribe before, who also did not have the characteristics of an orc. Could it be that Jin Lin was the same?
"I'm a leopard. I wasn't born with any beastman traits. Only males have beastman traits, while females have them randomly."
"Is there anything special about this?"
"Particular? What does that mean?" Jin Lin didn't quite understand what Tu Ling meant. She had never heard anyone say that.
"So, does it mean that females are smarter or something, and have a higher status, just because they don't have the characteristics?"
"No, there is no such requirement for females. As long as you are a female, you are born noble." Jin Lin said this with great pride.
Tu Ling wanted to say something when the orc suddenly became agitated.
Jin Lin: "It's the envoy from the mermaid tribe! Sister, I'm leaving first!"
"good."
After saying that, Jin Lin led her males and carried the prey into the group of orcs.
Jin Lin, relying on her status as a female, yelled among the males, "Get out of my way! Whoever squeezes me will die!"
Tu Ling's mouth twitched. Jin Lin had really had enough.
In order to find out whether mermaids are as beautiful as described in novels, Tu Ling decided to go and see for herself, but she couldn't do anything like Jin Lin that would damage her image as a boss.
So she went back to the cave and started shouting.
Shi Yi wiped the sweat off his body and asked, "What's wrong, lady?"
Tu Ling's eyes moved away from Shi Yi's chest: "The mermaids are here, come with me."
"The mermaids are coming!" Shiyi quickly woke up the others who were still sleeping: "Hurry up, the mermaids are coming!"
When they heard about the mermaid tribe, their eyes opened and they rushed outside before they could even think straight.
This has become a conditioned reflex of the orcs. The amount of water and salt crystals exchanged by the mermaids every day is limited. If you go too late, you won't be able to exchange them for supplies even if you have prey.
Halfway through the charge, they came to their senses and realized that something was wrong. The female leader of their camp seemed to be able to make fresh water, so why did they need to exchange?
Tu Ling was walking slowly on the road. After a while, he saw the male from his own camp and an outside staff member walking back. "Are you awake?"
Everyone lowered their heads: "Yeah."
Zi Ye didn't know that Tu Ling could make salt: "Madam, now that we have water, we can use the prey to exchange for salt crystals."
"No, I can make salt too."
Everyone gasped.
"It turns out that the female master can even make salt." Zi Ye's mouth trembled a little. In comparison, why did they feel like waste?
When they get old, the female master will not despise them and abandon them because they are old and ugly. Or maybe, before they get old, they will be kicked out of the camp because they are too useless.
Zi Ye carefully placed his head on Tu Ling's shoulder and asked, "Madam, you won't abandon us in the future, will you?"
Tu Ling chuckled: "Who knows what will happen in the future."
Orc: "Well~, I don't want anyone to know."
"Squat down."
Tu Ling stopped joking with them and now she wanted to do serious business.
Shiyi squatted in front of Tu Ling. Tu Ling took two steps and sat on Shiyi's neck: "Stand up slowly."
"Oh~~."
Feeling the weight and touch on his neck, Shikichi blushed quietly.
Shiyi's height is one of the tallest among many males. When Tu Ling rides on his neck, the view is extremely good.
Tu Ling looked towards the center of the orc group and saw two mermaids sitting on a huge reef in the sea.
She really looked as dreamy as described in the novel, with brown curly hair dotted with pearls, floating softly on the sea.
The color of their pupils is not as black and shiny as those of the orcs on land, but is light purple or blue. The fish-fin-like ears do not look weird, but rather like decorations, making them look more like elves.
The upper body is exposed with smooth muscles, and the mermaid line extends down to a shiny fishtail.
Seeing that Tu Ling was mesmerized, Ye Li couldn't help but feel jealous: "Look at your female master, she's been mesmerized to the point of being mesmerized. Humph."
Tu Ling came back to her senses and looked at him, secretly comparing them and said sincerely, "They are not as good-looking as you."
Ye Li’s appearance is no less than that of these two mermaids, but the dreamy features of mermaids give them a filter that makes people want to explore them.
"Tsk, who cares if you praise me for being pretty?"
The orcs trapped the two mermaids, leaving only a passage connecting them to the sea.
But the two mermaids on the stone did not have fresh water and salt crystals in their hands, so how could they exchange them?
No one spoke, but just looked expectantly at the sea under the moonlight, as if waiting for someone.
"Here they come!" a male shouted.
A black shadow emerged from the water surface under the moonlight. As he approached, Tu Ling could see that it was a white-haired mermaid holding a clam.
The white mermaid approached the stone through the passage made by the orcs, handed the clam in her hand to the two mermaids, and then waited quietly on the side.
Then the mermaid with purple eyes spoke: "Who will exchange it for a clam of fresh water and a tiger's worth?"
"I!"
“Us!”
The orc held a tiger or prey as large as a tiger high above his head. The mermaid looked around and picked out the prey she liked.
He pointed at a leopard orc and said, "It's you."
When the leopard orc heard that he was chosen, he quickly pushed away the orcs in front of him and handed the prey in his hand to the white mermaid who was still in the water.
After checking the prey, the white mermaid nodded to him and swam away into the distance.
"Here, water for you."
The leopard orc nervously wiped his bloody hands on his body and went to take the clam that was as big as his palm.
Then he walked through the herd, returned to his female master, and handed it to her reverently.
The female, who had been thirsty for a long time, did not drink it all at once. Instead, she took two sips and gave the remaining water to her males.
Tu Ling felt a little sad. Was life for an orc really that difficult? The males were even more devastated. Fortunately, these males, in this environment, were able to maintain their numerical advantage.
